Oreo’s Origins 5
Even though the SLM is officially dissolved, I’m not dropping Oreo and I’m still going to develop her (with permission from the owners of other mice). The first mouse, Ginger, belongs to duckdraw while the second, Macadamia, belongs to artiestrokeartcorner.
“Hey, uh, you didn’t happen to see a new mouse around here, did you? Thin, big glasses, antenna on her head. I just stepped away to get her a glass of water and-”
“Oh my god, you have no idea what is going on, do you? The tech mice are freaking out! The network lit up like a damn Christmas tree and top secret access alerts started going nuts. She got into everything!”
“What are you talking about? Isn’t all that stuff, like, secure or something?”
“Yeah, it is! But she tore through every security measure like it was tissue paper! Next thing we know, we start seeing packets bouncing off Proxy Servers left and right sending god knows what. She could have seen every secret we had and sent it anywhere she wanted!”
“Where is she? Where’s Oreo?”
“We did the only thing we COULD do! There’s a Faraday cage in the testing wing. We locked her up in there until we can figure out what in Pepper Jack is going on.”
“Well get her out! I just rescued her from her lab! Poor thing has to be scared to death-”
“Nuh-uh! This comes from the top. No way she’s getting out until we know what she sent and where. She could endanger the whole Jar! I’m sorry Ginger, but the Jar’s safety comes first. Until we know, she stays in the cage.”
Oreo’s Origins 1:
“Sir, I had to ask you about something.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about the standing orders on number six.”
“Number six is Do Not Retrieve.”
“But sir-”
“That is an order! Number six’s powers are still unknown, assuming she has any powers at all. She’s far too young and her only observed activities are watching television and blinking a light wired to her head- which for all we know could be a tracking beacon. On top of all that, her cage is smack dab in the middle of the human commons area! It’s far too risky for a mouse that could just be a decoy.”
“What if Espionage-”
“Espionage is already aware of the situation. Until further notice, the order still stands. Number six is Do Not Retrieve. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yes sir…”
