The Rats of NIMH

In the early days of the twentieth century, the end of the
"War to End All Wars" brought forth an age of new science, new
technology. From the mysteries of the atomic structure to the complex problems
of genetics, mankind opened the first doors that would carry him through the
rest of that frightening century. In a laboratory on the outskirts of a small
town in Midwest America, a small group of scientists from the National
Institute of Mental Health, or NIMH, thought they had stumbled across the means
of raising the intelligence of animals by injections of different types of DNA.
With a host of experimental rats and mice, they tried injection after
injection, attempting to raise the creatures' intelligence. In fact, the
intelligence of their test animals did rise, farther than the scientists had
prepared for. By reading the instructions on the cage doors, all the mice and
rats managed to escape.
