The physicians at Prime were able to determine they had medications to treat those ill and prevent tramisssion to those who were not yet infected. The medicines had been contaminated with either a toxin or an array of biological agents (an assortment of viruses and at least two prion diseases. Maybe something of all three.) The doses were lethal, but not immediately so. This way everyone in the base got a dose before the first symptoms began to appear and at that point it was too late to do anything about it.
The base NBC systems worked as designed, the medical staff performed perfetly and Now we have 100% kill on base personnel.

I like the idea but you are talking about a very precise bit of sabotage there. I think if you want to go that route you need to consider how it occurred.
If the sabotage occurred outside PB then it would take a tremendous amount of luck for this to happen. Someone who had access to the drug would need to somehow identify lots going to PB, gain access to them, and then poison them. And if they didn't get every single dose going to PB then there would be good chance that some or even ALL of the staffers would get untainted meds and be fine.
If the sabotage occurred INSIDE PB, then what happened to the saboteur?
Sabotage raises a bunch of other questions that I posed in another thread, but sabotage in general should lead to much more losses. PB should be firmly in Krell hands, the Project should be in shambles.
As another question, if UA (or whatever it is called now) requires so much tinkering just to use, how did the sabotage go undetected?
