one new mouse

[vivariummods]

It's been two days since the vote. Since then, there has been little activity. The speakers have never been turned on since that day, and there's been no sign of the owner of that voice. No further contact has been made, and it seems as if the group was abandoned again without a clue as to why they're here. ... Unless any members of the group are lucky enough to wake up early enough to catch a glimpse of something, uh, "new"... In the Greenhouse, while the artificial sky is a reddish colour from "sunrise", a large metal ladder is placed in front of the sickly trees. Beside the ladder is a children's wagon, filled with apples, and on top is an upright mouse with a gas mask... Yeah, as if this place couldn't get any weirder. The mouse quietly mumbles to itself, something along the lines of "... work... not paid... test subjects... spoiled", and holds an apple in one paw and a tape gun in the other. It appears to be taping the apples to the tree branches, one at a time, occasionally climbing down to grab an armful of apples to bring up. It's only a third way through the pile of apples (which only seems to be about a dozen...) so catch it while you can.

Good grief, you're just filled with questions, aren't you? All right, since I'm feeling generous today, I'll answer a few, top secret or not!

Well, for starters, you're all here for an experiment, but take it however you want on what kind of experiment it is and why. And what kind of question is that? Why a mouse like me? Why not a mouse like me?

Okay, how about some specific details like what kind of experiment? And why give us amnesia?

Does it really matter what kind of experiment it is, test subject? Will that get you to act in a different way? We need natural reactions here, you know!

So does the word "ethics" mean anything to you? And will you answer my question about amnesia already?!
