Marvel 28

[Captain Huff 0]

Marvel 28 looked at the strange crewman just long enough to determine that he wasn’t going to drop food into Marvel’s new cage. Ah well, he had plenty of chunks stored in a secret place where no one would ever find them. Marvel happily resumed running in his wheel.

 

While this new life without the other Marvels was different, Marvel 28 felt a peaceful sense of familiarity about it. Somehow he knew that running in his wheel was fun, and if he ran long enough, he would get to do the most fun thing of all: Run in the maze! Nothing was better than the maze, for at the end of the maze… was fresh cockroach! Mmm… cockroach...

 

What Marvel 28 didn’t know was that he was a brilliant product of lab cloning. Not only was he physically identical to Marvel 1, he also had that early hamster’s memory engrams implanted in his wee dung beetle sized brain. So Marvel 28 was indeed a marvel at running mazes, running in his wheel, storing food chunks, and most importantly of all: Staying alive while being hoisted around by a very large Klingon owner.

 

Yes, thought Marvel 28, today was a good day to run.
