Whoa! Intelligent squirrels?
A. Yes, I said intelligent squirrels. The devilbunnies found that trained squirrels could only perform certain tasks and only after months of training. To do a new task, they had to be retrained. Some mentats conceived that if their intelligence could be enhanced, perhaps almost to the level of a regbun, then the slaves could perform more complicated tasks more quickly. Research began in the mid-60’s and the first experiments were conducted around 1970. There was little success at first. Either it just didn’t work, or the squirrels would go insane and have to be killed. Then came the squirrelvirus.
