A shy freeper Pmailed me a nice thought, getting Clancy on us. Maybe the top terrorist opened the vat or put something in the camp's water barrel, just before driving away solo, with the weaponized germs? The tools having outlived their usefulness.

Matthew 24 -
6 - And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 - For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
8 - All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Somebody had to say it. I figured I might as well!
