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.                           
     When they first built it, the com-
puters were huge and took up twenty-   
three rooms all by themselves.         
     Today, it’s modern and sophisti-  
cated enough to do all kinds of unimag-
inable genetic engineering, and the    
computers can also now fit into one    
room, and that left twenty-two empty   
ones.                                  
     The Company rented those out to   
ten independent labs, and if they used 
mice in their research, then we also   
cleaned those cages.                   
     Still awake? Good, ‘cause one of  
the rooms they rented out was the      
Secret Room, or as I liked to call it, 
the Entrance to Hell, and it’s also    
where they kept the talking Cat, but   
more about that in a little bit.
