The Killer Shrews

First in Alaska and then invading

steadily southward there were reports of

a new species the Giant Killer shrew

a little quieter

almost smell it can't you no but I can

feel it my precious drops a fast it

almost made my ears pop

hurricanes got different ways of telling

his their ways get ahead

what does that mean us my boy that puts

our port right in the middle of it

there's a cove on the lee side though

we'll snuggle up close to the club and

ride it out what about the bottom well

the chart shows it's good holding

grounds clay

you know something if this thing had on

automatic pilot I wouldn't have to put

up with you then you would handle better

than you out

we should be there in a couple of hours

these mills of yours keep running look

automatic pilots can't play Dixieland

jazz on the vendors like I can

hey ruff ruff come here

take a look

there she is dead ahead

man that show who do look good

man named Craig is on this island Eddie

that's the name or Lecrae dr. Marlowe

credits will then load tomorrow perhaps

sitting high net water when mo hits go

rats turn to a lot of water under that's

right and c will pick up in that code

and win will have her whipping around

like a kite mr. Forward break out the

heavy weather hook check with McHugh

screen around my mouth said

ah she ride like a duck if she swings

too far to starboard we might have to

take a check line to shore hey rook

niggas land up that trail

that's a red estranged set up when you

say black somebody's getting rid of

somebody I'll cap may be hard to tell

I'm dr. Crates Thorin Sherman have your

supplies aboard that's good nothing

wrong with Captain Ferguson a hope

you

dan crazy hello so you're the passenger

that's right cat oh it's gonna be nice

having you aboard I'm getting a little

tired looking at Griswold but we're

we're not leaving today

we're not even unloading that load will

cut the roll in half you expecting an

invasion yes animals game or otherwise

there's certain conditions it could be

dangerous

hey ruff you want to shake the kinks out

limber up a little not me Kevin blade

you go right ahead stretch your legs

that ships gonna be bucking like a

fucking frog for long sighs I got some

work left to do if you do come ashore

where a gun got ya.

I told you about the Huracan you act

like you didn't know anything about it

what's the matter your set broken down

given up communication for more than a

week can it be fixed it's totally out of

commission my assistant mr. Fell Jerry

fell

father perhaps the captain would enjoy a

dream

of course would you join us in a

cocktail well I've never been known to

turn down a drink yet I'll be glad to

accept that case we'll have martinis

Mary oh SI SE yon mix them please

right this way captain come in

you have everything here you need oh we

are self-sufficient here we have cows

for fresh milk chickens for fresh eggs

we even have satin horse sort of a world

all your own that's exactly about five

to create well they each his own if you

have to be isolated for your work you

- picked a lonely little island excuse me. - Please I think I change

She's a little worried because you

aren't leaving until tomorrow no I can

understand that but there's something

else bothering her

radford Bradford ratha would you please

step over here like it to me someone

just a second doc let's go up our doctor.

Baines there's no need to shop doctor

I'm right here I like it to meet captain

phone chemin this is my other assistant

grantford baby how do you do two new

litters stumps lunch doctor both support.

GT 116 that's good we can breed them to

the 205 group in about three weeks but

I'd prefer to wait and expose about half

of them to the Hoskins factor first if

you agree good idea do you notice a

hurricane coming freaking well I don't

suppose as much we can do about that

glad to meet you Sherman wasn't

you have to excuse Radford anything that

does not concern this project and does

not get through to her brilliant mind he

would stop it if someone didn't remind

him to eat must be very interesting work

what's his field biology we specialize

the genetics identity I'm afraid my

interest doesn't run in that line you

know think what would happen if you

could isolate and identify the inherited

fact then each gene now wait a minute

I'm afraid I'm not very good with pure

research this is practical research del.

Rio mammals the smaller the size the

haida metabolism end the shorter the

lifespan right well I'm attempting to to

decrease the size by maintaining a low

metabolism and resultant along a

lifespan what reason overpopulation not

a problem now but it will be in time

before half as big as we are now we

could lift twice as long in our natural

resources father may I speak with you a

moment when you please excuse us captain

well providing a drop to captain after

birth on

tell me something doctor has a her can

ever hit this island before that you

know of I wouldn't know you've only been

here nine months of this place has been

unoccupied per year well have you ever

been through one only the fringes well

this one's building up very fast

pressure drops very quickly in the

- center I'd advise you to get some doors - and windows open in this place

Ventilators under rule and if you're

fresh and hands drink I'll go and check

them I'd be happy to thank heavens

you're right why are Asians getting

short that's more than that much more

will surely be able to save tomorrow and

we possibly but not probable not too

late anyway takes a long time for a sea

like that to quiet down well if you're

worrying about me you needn't I'm a good

sailor well I'm not worried about you

will say all the time's right got them

opened all right Oh captain let me

freshen you a drink one for the road I'm

trying to rush you but it will be dark

I've invited tone for dinner party

oh I see if you're not worried about

your ship you're welcome I'll take a

rain check on that dinner if you wish

father I've asked dawn to stay progress

doctor this is the sole survivor of

group 3028 months of old today well

that's equivalent 240 years to us that's

right yet it still maintains low

metabolism without any sluggishness stop

the breakthrough but it's certainly sets

our course Radford suspend series 52

through a 96 and we'll concentrate on

the rest what is that it's a Sorak

cerissa d looks like a small rat smells

like a skunk they have musk glands in

their needs and these little fellows our

subjects they have a birth cycle of 10

to 14 days and using them we can

establish traits we can trace the

progressions for a number of generations

- over a short period of time well how big. - Do they get

That's a little

see the muscle is longer and thicker

than the rats it extends over the lower

mandible see does he bite only when his

hungry maybe you better take him he

doesn't know me all he knows is his next

meal he just been fed to be all like

another eight hours I should have to

open Bradford I got it so you're let

that scare you gonna get worse storms

all this friend ever since she was a

child

they're not climbers they are digging

animals like the more they feed only at

night unless they're starving and when

they are hungry enough steak they'll

tackle anything regardless of science

okay mm-hmm if you leave two of them in

a cage for 12 hours without food the
