The Spin
Narrative A
While another monkey escape could sound alarming to people, it's important to know that these primates typically don't travel very far before they're recovered. Alpha Genesis follows effective safety protocols regarding both the treatment of monkeys on the island and how to respond to occasional escapes.
Narrative B
Despite claims from Alpha Genesis, the local police department has noted that this is a fairly common problem for the community. Besides the serious risk of wild primates roaming local towns, facilities like Morgan Island shouldn't exist in the first place, as these poor monkeys are abused through testing. It's no wonder they're trying to escape.
