DR. JONES
                                     UGLI ORANGE

   You are Dr. Jones, a biological research scientist employed by a pharmaceutical
company. You have recently developed a synthetic chemical useful for curing and
preventing Rudosen, a disease contracted by pregnant women. If not caught in the first
four weeks of pregnancy, the disease causes serious brain, eye, and ear damage to the
unborn child. Recently, there has been an outbreak of Rudosen in your country and
several thousand women have contracted the disease. You have found, with volunteer
victims, that your recently developed synthetic serum cures Rudosen in its early stages.
Unfortunately, the serum is made from the Ugli orange which is a very rare fruit. Only
about 4,000 of these oranges were grown in the whole world this season. No additional
Ugli oranges will be available until next season, which will be too late to cure the present
Rudosen victims.

   You have demonstrated that your synthetic serum does no harm to the pregnant
women. There are no side effects. Unfortunately, the present outbreak of Rudosen was
unexpected and your company had not planned on having the serum available for six
months. Your company holds the patent on the synthetic serum and it is expected to be a
highly profitable product when it is generally available to the public.

   You have recently been told a Mr. Cardoza, a South American fruit exporter, has
3,000 Ugli oranges. If you could obtain all 3,000 of these Ugli oranges, you could make
enough serum from the juice of these oranges to both cure all the present victims and
provide sufficient inoculation for the remaining pregnant women in your country. No
other country currently has a Rudosen threat.

   You have been told that Dr. Roland is also urgently seeking Ugli oranges and is also
aware that Cardoza has some of these special oranges. Dr. Roland is employed by a
competitor pharmaceutical company. Roland has been working on biological warfare
research for the past several years. There is a great deal of industrial espionage in the
pharmaceutical industry. Over the past several years, Dr. Roland's company and your
company have sued each other for infringement of patent rights and espionage law
violations several times.

   You've been authorized by your company to approach Cardoza to purchase the 3,000
Ugli oranges. You have been told Cardoza will sell them to the highest bidder. Your
company has authorized you to bid as high as $250,000 (USD) to obtain the juice of the
3,000 available oranges.

   Before approaching Cardoza, you have decided to talk with Dr. Roland. Think
carefully about what information you are willing to tell the other side, and what
information you will not disclose.
Confidential Instructions                          DR. ROLAND
                             UGLI ORANGE

   You are Dr. Roland, a research biologist for a pharmaceutical company.
Your company has a government contract to do research on methods to
combat enemy uses of biological warfare, but the government has asked
your company for assistance with an immediate problem.

   Recently, several old experimental nerve gas bombs were moved to a
small Pacific island. While they were being moved, two of the bombs
developed leaks. The leaks are presently controlled, but government
scientists believe that within two weeks the gas will leak out of bomb
chambers and escape. There is no known method of preventing the gas
from getting into the atmosphere and spreading to the coast. If the leak
occurs, several thousands of people will die or incur serious brain damage.

   You have developed a synthetic vapor which will neutralize the nerve
gas if it is injected into the bomb chamber before the gas leaks out. The
vapor is made with a chemical taken from the Ugli orange, a very rare fruit.

   You've heard that a Mr. Cardoza, a fruit exporter in South America, has
3,000 Ugli oranges. If you get all 3,000 Ugli Oranges you could make
enough of the chemical from the rind these oranges to neutralize all of the
gas if the serum is developed and injected efficiently. Your company has
not been able to locate any more of these Ugli oranges. As far as you
know, there are only 3,000 such oranges in the world crop this year.

   You have learned that Dr. Jones is also urgently seeking to purchase
Ugli oranges and that Jones is aware that Cardoza has oranges available.
Dr. Jones' company and your company are highly competitive, and there is
a great deal of industrial espionage in the pharmaceutical industry. Your
company and Dr. Jones' company have sued each other twice for
infringement of patent rights. One law suit is still going on.

   You've been authorized by your company to approach Cardoza to
purchase the 3,000 Ugli oranges. You have been told that Cardoza will sell
them to the highest bidder. Your company has authorized you to bid as
high as $250,000 (USD) to obtain the oranges.

   Before approaching Cardoza, you have decided to talk to Dr. Jones.
Think carefully about what information you are willing to tell the other
side, and what information you will not disclose.
