Such rare blood should have been collected anyway. And how did the heart make it within a tight viability window?

Big Problem #2

The DEA and the Border Patrol have learned that a Mexican drug cartel is experimenting with using a drone to smuggle a powerful new drug concentrate over the border. If they are successful, the border will be flooded with drone deliveries. How do you stop them? Special Resources:Fortunately, the DEA was able to recover a drone that crashed, and you are a computer genius.

There are a bunch of drones already. They are programmed to follow an armed "leader" drone. The armed drone shoots your DEA contact. He is badly wounded., and you are in a remote location with bad guys closing in. Resources: A cabin hideout, An SUV with shot out tires.

In good old fashioned Golden Age of SF(*) style, you design a 3D printer that can churn out "smart" interceptor drones. These can identify and kill the bad drones. Plug in, sit back, while drone after drone take to the skies armed with cute, little sidewinder replicas, and watch the mechanical carnage unfold :)


(*) In many stories during this era, it was common for a crucial new discovery to be made one day, and have mass-produced technology based on it the next day.
