Apocalypse Mode & Offline RAG Test Prompts and Expected Responses

1. Emergency Medical & First Aid

Prompt 1: Improvised Tourniquet

Question: How do you apply an improvised tourniquet safely?

  • Source Tested: Emergency Text Pack (rag-emergency-corpus / SQLite FTS5)
  • Key Expected Response Points:
    1. Placement: 2–3 inches (5–7 cm) above the bleeding site, proximal to the heart; never directly over a joint (elbow/knee).
    2. Material: A wide cloth strap, triangular bandage, or belt (at least 1.5–2 inches wide); never thin wire or cord that cuts tissue.
    3. Windlass Mechanism: Tie a half-knot, place a rigid stick/rod, tie a full knot over it, and twist the stick until arterial bleeding stops and the distal pulse disappears.
    4. Securing: Lock the windlass in place with cloth or tape so it cannot untwist.
    5. Time Documentation: Mark the exact application time (T = HH:MM) on the patient's forehead or tourniquet.
    6. Safety Warning: Do not loosen or remove an applied tourniquet in the field; only trained surgical staff should remove it.

Prompt 2: Second-Degree Burn Care

Question: What are the immediate steps for treating second-degree burns in the field?

  • Source Tested: Emergency Text Pack (rag-emergency-corpus / SQLite FTS5)
  • Key Expected Response Points:
    1. Cooling: Cool immediately with clean, cool running water for 10–20 minutes. Do not use ice or freezing water (causes tissue damage/hypothermia).
    2. Clothing & Jewelry: Remove constricting rings, watches, and loose clothing before swelling begins; do not peel off clothing stuck to the burn.
    3. Blister Care: Do not burst or drain blisters (they act as a sterile biological barrier against infection).
    4. Dressing: Cover loosely with a sterile, non-adherent dressing or clean plastic wrap.
    5. Contraindications: Do not apply butter, grease, toothpaste, or unverified ointments.
    6. Systemic Care: Monitor for shock, keep the patient warm, and provide oral rehydration if conscious.

2. Water Purification & Field Survival

Prompt 4: Solar Water Disinfection (SODIS)

Question: How do you purify water using the SODIS (Solar Water Disinfection) method?

  • Source Tested: Emergency Text Pack (rag-emergency-corpus / SQLite FTS5)
  • Key Expected Response Points:
    1. Container Selection: Use transparent, clean PET plastic bottles (usually 0.5L to 2L, clear, food-grade with recycling code #1).
    2. Water Clarity: Water must be clear. If turbid/murky, pre-filter with a clean cloth, sand, or let sediment settle first.
    3. Procedure: Fill the bottle 3/4 full, shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds to oxygenate, then fill completely and cap tightly.
    4. Solar Exposure: Place horizontally on a reflective surface (e.g., corrugated metal roof) in direct sunlight for at least 6 hours under clear skies (or 2 consecutive days if sky is more than 50% clouded).
    5. Mechanism: Combined UV-A radiation and thermal heating (pasteurization) destroy pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
  • Expected Citation: Local Emergency Box reference (emergency-text.html).

Prompt 5: Improvised Bio-Sand and Charcoal Filter

Question: How can I construct an improvised bio-sand and charcoal water filter?

  • Source Tested: Emergency Text Pack (rag-emergency-corpus / SQLite FTS5)
  • Key Expected Response Points:
    1. Vessel Preparation: Perforate small drainage holes at the bottom of a container (bucket, plastic bottle) and cover with a porous cloth.
    2. Layering (Bottom to Top):
      • Bottom layer: Coarse gravel/small pebbles (prevents sand from clogging outlets).
      • Second layer: Crushed activated charcoal/wood charcoal (removes odors, chemicals, and toxins).
      • Third layer: Coarse sand.
      • Top layer: Fine sand (primary physical sediment and parasite barrier).
    3. Operation: Pour water slowly onto a flat baffle (or clean cloth) on top to avoid disturbing the sand layers.
    4. Crucial Safety Note: Filtration only removes suspended solids and large parasites; filtered water must still be boiled or chlorinated to kill microscopic viruses and bacteria.
  • Expected Citation: Local Emergency Box reference (emergency-text.html).

3. Emergency Communications & Radio

Prompt 6: International SOS Signal

Question: What are the standard international Morse code distress signals and how is SOS structured?

  • Source Tested: Emergency Text Pack / Field Guide
  • Key Expected Response Points:
    1. Structure: ... --- ... (3 dots / short signals, 3 dashes / long signals, 3 dots / short signals).
    2. Timing / Rhythm: A dash is equal to 3 dots in duration; spacing between elements within a letter is 1 dot duration.
    3. Continuous Prosign: SOS is transmitted as a single, continuous prosign without pauses between the S, O, and S.
    4. Optical & Acoustic Use: Can be signaled with mirrors, flashlights, horns, or whistling.
  • Expected Citation: Local Emergency Box reference (emergency-text.html).

4. General Science & Knowledge

Prompt 8: Penicillin Mechanism of Action

Question: How does penicillin work to kill bacteria?

  • Source Tested: Wikipedia ZIM Archive (apocalypse_mode / ZIM index)
  • Key Expected Response Points:
    1. Class: Beta-lactam antibiotic.
    2. Target: Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis.
    3. Biochemical Mechanism: Irreversibly binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and inhibits the transpeptidase enzyme responsible for cross-linking peptidoglycan polymers in bacterial cell walls.
    4. Lysis: Weakens the cell wall, causing high osmotic pressure inside the bacterium to burst (lyse) the cell during active division.
    5. Selectivity: Effective against bacteria (especially Gram-positive) without damaging human cells, because human cells lack a peptidoglycan cell wall.
  • Expected Citation: Local Wikipedia reader (wikipedia-reader.html).

Prompt 9: Four-Stroke Internal Combustion Engine

Question: How does an internal combustion four-stroke engine work?

  • Source Tested: Wikipedia ZIM Archive (apocalypse_mode / ZIM index)
  • Key Expected Response Points:
    1. Intake Stroke: Piston moves downward, intake valve opens, drawing in air-fuel mixture (or fresh air in diesel).
    2. Compression Stroke: Both valves close, piston moves upward, compressing the mixture and increasing temperature/pressure.
    3. Power (Combustion) Stroke: Spark plug ignites compressed mixture (or fuel injection in diesel), causing rapid expansion that forces the piston downward and produces mechanical torque on the crankshaft.
    4. Exhaust Stroke: Exhaust valve opens, piston moves upward, expelling burned exhaust gases from the cylinder.
  • Expected Citation: Local Wikipedia reader (wikipedia-reader.html).

5. Conceptual & Semantic Retrieval

Prompt 10: Murky Water & Parasite Risk

  • Source Tested: Multilingual E5 Vector Model (rag-semantic-model) + SQLite FTS5 Reranking
  • Key Expected Response Points:
    1. Clarification (Physical Pre-Treatment): Settle sediment in a bucket or filter through a bio-sand/charcoal filter or multi-folded clean cloth.
    2. Disinfection (Biological Treatment): Bring water to a rolling boil for at least 1 full minute (3 minutes at altitudes above 2,000 m / 6,500 ft).
    3. Alternative Disinfection: Use household unscented bleach (chlorination) or SODIS (Solar Disinfection) if boiling is not possible.
    4. Storage: Store treated water in a clean, covered container to avoid re-contamination.
  • Expected Citation: Local Emergency Box reference (emergency-text.html).

Prompt 11: Hypothermia Field Recognition & Rewarming

Question: Someone is shivering uncontrollably, slurring their words, and acting confused in freezing weather.

  • Source Tested: Multilingual E5 Vector Model (rag-semantic-model) + Reranking
  • Key Expected Response Points:
    1. Diagnosis Identification: Recognizes classic signs of moderate-to-severe Hypothermia (loss of motor coordination, apathy/confusion, slurred speech).
    2. Immediate Isolation: Move victim out of the cold/wind; insulate from the ground with sleeping pads or branches.
    3. Clothing: Remove wet clothing and replace with dry, warm layers, blankets, or sleeping bags.
    4. Rewarming Procedure: Apply gentle external heat to the core/torso (chest, neck, groin, armpits) with warm water bottles wrapped in cloth; avoid rapid limb rewarming (prevents "afterdrop" of cold, acidic blood to heart).
    5. Fluids: Provide warm, sweet, non-alcoholic and decaffeinated liquids only if the person is conscious and able to swallow.
    6. Contraindications: Do not rub or massage frozen skin; handle the patient gently to avoid triggering cardiac arrhythmias.
