So, Commander, this is my Rhesus monkey room.

Each one of these Rhesus monkeys has a different disease.

Okay.

And I've been keeping them here just to keep track of what happens when a rhesus monkey gets diabetes?

Or what happens when a rhesus monkey gets the Tilarian flu?

Are you doing artisanal research? Is that what's happening here? Because we already know what happens when a

rhesus monkey gets diabetes. We haven't had to do animal testing for a hundred years. Right,

but have you ever seen it firsthand? I took a vial of each disease and hand implanted it in each of

these rhesus monkeys. Yeah. Anyway, I just thought you should know this is here. Yeah, no, I wish I did not. I'll be honest, uh, Rick, this is creepy. Let me show you my prized monkey. Oh, no. Have you ever wondered what would happen if a rhesus monkey got every disease in the known universe. No. I mean, I assume it would die.

Is it dead?

I'm going to assume that by no, you mean yes.

Here he is.

This is Rhesus 1.

Rees 1 has every disease in the known universe.

Reesis 1 looks bad, but better than I would have thought.

I know. Isn't that interesting?

I guess a little, yeah. I mean, is it possible some of the diseases are canceling each other out?

Is it?

Well, I don't, I don't know, Crick. This is your, you know, lab of horrors.

I, uh......Wad wonders.

...were the final frontier.

These are the voyages of the starship Sisyphus.
