The hand grabs you again and a short trip later you feel a warmth from above you. The hand brings you down to the vast black ground and you run for your life towards a bush without a second thought.
"Bye little guy! Have a nice life!" the voice calls from behind you.
**Escape**"Interesting" you here a voice boom from above you, "this rat was able to make it through but also failed, I'd like to study it more." Before you can figure out what that means the hand grabs you once again and you're being lifted in the air. This time it takes you to a wire cage and nudges you inside. You flop onto the soft floor and dash for a green hut you can hide inside of. At least you won't have to run that maze again any time soon.
**Live to run another day**"It would appear as this rat struggles with spacial skills. My hypothesis seems to be correct, Dr. Johnson would you ready the operation table? I'd like to take a look at this one's brain." *My brain??* you think, *I like it when my brain stays in my body!* You look for somewhere to run to but theres nowhere to go.
