"We no see food man. Food man gone." they all cautiously take the food, one by one Silene makes her way around, seeing one abomination after the next. In one cage, there are two rather large bulky rats with the snout of a boar. In another, there are two more rats covered in yellow down feathers and have beaks instead of mouths. Past another, there are two more rats, that have been inflated like a balloon with an eye grafted onto their raised bloated bellies, with two eye stalks writhing at its sides. Second to the last cage, there is only one rat in it, it looks extremely miserable, its body is bloated beneath its transparent skin you can see a dim neon green light being emitted by what you assume is some sort of chemical liquid. The last cage, contains nothing at first glance until you look up, you find perched on the ceiling two rats with eight legs protruding from their bodies and eight red eyes staring back at you. You find one completely empty open cage. You return back to the scaled rats, they stand on their hind legs again letting out some more squeaks "You new food man?"
Nibbles lets out a chuckle "The means to leave, sure, it doesn't require much brains to walk out of this place. Even the dumbest of dumb can find their way out eventually. It is thanks to my intelligence why we are still here, the rat-king has a kill switch installed in us all. Was he bluffing? Perhaps, but I don't want to risk it, especially after seeing his creations I wouldn't put it past him to have put a kill switch in us. Which is where, hopefully, you come in."
