     Sorry, I got a little off track   
there, because like I said, today I    
went back to work.                     
     We’ve never really talked about   
that, have we? You know some things,   
but not a whole lot. It never really   
came up or was that important. You     
already knew what the Darkness does,   
and this would be just more of the     
same, but now it’s important, because  
that’s where the talking Cat is being  
held captive.                          
     Just to make sure you got the     
basics, let’s review.                  
     What The Company does is breed    
mice, and then sells them to research  
labs in the U.S. and all over the      
world, including Europe, South America,
Israel, China, Thailand, and even      
Russia.                                
     Even though a couple thousand were
shipped out every week, almost ten-    
thousand were always here, weaning,    
sleeping, drinking, eating and         
breeding.                              
     Of course, they also used their   
cages like outhouses, and that’s why   
they had to be changed-out every week  
or switched with clean ones.           
     My job was to clean those dirty   
cages, and then prepare them for the   
next change-out.                       
     That’s it. That pretty much ex-   
plains my whole job, but obviously, I  
didn’t do this by myself. Twenty-four  
other people also worked with me in    
Cage-Wash. That’s the name everyone    
called us instead of the Vivarium      
Sterilization and Preparation Depart-  
ment, because that’s a hell of a       
mouthful.                              
     You know about most of that al-   
ready, Dr. Zinger, but the three impor-
tant things you don’t know about are   
the Secret Lab, the Secret Room, and   
the killings.                          
     The Secret Lab was where they     
genetically engineered the monster mice
and mixed them in with all the others. 
     I’ve been told, confidentially,   
that someday those monster mice will   
genetically modify themselves, and then
start eating all our plastic trash and 
pissing it out as clean drinking water.
     Ok, none of that is true, except, 
maybe for the rumour about the water,  
and it wasn’t even a Secret Lab either.
     Everyone knew where it was and    
could make an appointment to tour it   
anytime they wanted, except for the    
clean rooms. Visitors could look       
through a couple windows, but no one   
could  go  inside,  except  for the    
Researchers.
