Mice are merely the protrusion into our dimension of hyper-intelligent pan-dimension beings who, unbeknownst to the human race, are the most intelligent species on the planet Earth. They spent a lot of their time in laboratories running complex experiments on man.

At the outset, they were so fed up with the constant bickering about the meaning of life which used to interrupt their favourite game of Brockian Ultra Cricket, that they decided to sit down and solve their problems once and for all.
