Mandrill

The Story

Across the bottomless chasm of time, they gazed hypnotically at each other - the captive mandrill, last wild species of the baboon on earth, and the fanatic scientist at the controls of his monstrous 1990s computer. Out of some deathless memory, could the mandrill reveal the macabre truth of man's origins? Then, from the computer's voice unit issued a stream of flat, fitted-together words. And from the mists of prehistory, the mandrill began to speak.
