The Submerged Factory

Memory

It had been a few days since Blocky's imprisonment. His face was mostly recovered. However, he still couldn't split himself.

Even if he could split himself, was there any chance for him to be out of here?

Squid came and visited him every now and then. He wanted to make sure Blocky couldn't escape, or observed the cage so there wouldn't be any small hole that Blocky could get out.

Blocky was bored. He turned himself off to save his energy.

Mama Squid and Mr. Dance stood by each other while Squid handled Blocky. Both of them were nervous about Blocky.

"What is he doing?" Mama Squid looked at Mr. Dance.

Mr. Dance shrugged his shoulder.  "Squid told me that he will try to jog Blocky's memories, then he reconsiders his decision to destroy him."

"Jog his memories? What do you mean?" Mama Squid asked curiously. She tried to distract herself so she would stop worrying about whatever Squid and Blocky were doing.

Mr. Dance shook his head. "Man, Squid really didn't tell you anything, huh?" He pulled out two chairs out of nowhere and asked Mama Squid to take a seat before he explained.

"Blocky was Squid's first creation, The Regime's military defense. We used to be close together." Mr. Dance grinned and giggled.

"I don't exactly understand why, but apparently Blocky had been modified into a ruthless war machine. He just killed anyone that wasn't in The Regime checklist." Mr. Dance swung his legs up and front. He was uneasy to tell Mama Squid about this.

"Squid had no other choice but to trap him and reprogrammed him since The Regime forced Squid to. The result? Blocky lost almost all his memory." Mr. Dance sighed. "There are a lot of details that I left out,probably since too much was happening that day."

Mama Squid nodded. "It's alright, Dance. At least I know who Blocky is now." Mama Squid looked out for Squid.

"It's suck that Squid never told me anything." Mama Squid stared at Blocky and waved. She wasn't sure if Blocky could see her from the other server.

"Squid keeps a lot of secrets. I only knew because I was the only person Squid talked to before he created the rest of you." Mr. Dance crossed hands. His legs were on top of Mama Squid's tentacles. He was relaxing himself.

Mama Squid kept glazing at the server Squid and Blocky were in. She wondered what topic that they could bring up.

Blocky floated upwards. He tried to at least, match the Squid flying position. His body was still a bit weak however.

"Your scar seems to be healed. I guess leaving you here for a long time gives you an advantage." Squid showed Blocky his current face.

Blocky looked annoyed. "I know. I can see it with the glass box." He landed on the floor.

"Now, where were we?" Squid flew around the glass box and stopped in front of Blocky.

"Oh, right. Your memories. How much do you recall?" Squid smiled.

Blocky kept looking to his left and right before staring at Squid. "I remember bits, I just had no idea which one happened first."
