Terrified Terrified of the uncertainty of further tests and the power he now held, Rick took the scientific approach and decided to watch the mice before he did anything else. He saved his samples of serum in the fridge, and spent the next few days watching the mice, recording his results daily, lecturing, and desperately seeking more data.
After nearly a month had passed, Rick made several key observations. First, it was clear that the mice weren’t changing any further. Second, it was clear they had suffered no internal damage or long term side effects from their size changes. Third, and most importantly, his neutralizing agent allowed full and permanent recovery from the transformations. There were no “relapses” or further unwanted growth or shrinking.
With these results in hand, Rick began to grow increasingly excited for his next experiment.
