Unfortunately, one night Lady isn't sneaky _enough_ and gets photographed escaping from a grocery store by Snooper, a citizen-photojournalist mouse. Naturally this leads to the breaking-loose of all hell.

"SNOOPER" THEY/THEM
Sensitive ears, insensitive hats ("WOMEN FEAR ME / FISH FEAR ME / I HATE MYSELF")
Good trigger discipline
Thinking (telepathic transmission): sonorous classical actor voice
Talking: GRUMPY DIRTY HARRY VOICE
THE CHEMICALS ARE MAKING THE MICE NONBINARY
(Snooper is a 4'1" 58-lbs semi-bipedal mouse who wears baseball caps and TV news weather-vests.)

Lady Crow is a crow, but she's also a lady. She lives in a northern flyover state's college-and-army town called Erchin Hills, which used to be fairly active in the 70s but is declining in modern-day 1994 as all the military experimental programs are being shut down.

LADY CROW is a CROW but she is also a LADY
She has two eyes, two ears, (under the feather-bangs)
Two arms & legs & wings just like anybody else.
