How did that quote go? 'My name is Legion, for we are many'.

That fit; there were so many of them in this form. No wonder Agent Washington couldn't handle it; they were comprised of so many memories, so many individual thoughts, that their proximity to a human mind could cause serious damage.

Theta was really sorry about what happened. Omega thought it was hilarious, but Delta shut him up by pointing out that they were in serious trouble for what they did.

It wasn't really too lonely, being locked up in storage all those years, but talking to yourself for so long can get stale. When you're all parts of one whole, there's never really anything new to talk about. Then Washington came back, and he brought the Alpha with him. Instinct drove them to try to return these memories, but Alpha didn't seem too happy about that, so when he wanted them to stop, they stopped.

They were given to the soldier in blue and taken away. The EMP went off, killing their creator and their brothers. They were sad about that for a long time.

Caboose made things a lot better. He wasn't very smart, but he had a good heart. He told Epsilon stories about Blood Gulch, and even tried to build them a body. That was really sweet of him, Theta noted. Omega grumbled about not wanting his kindness, but Delta pointed out that they needed it at this point.

Caboose called them 'Church' sometimes. They didn't mind at all.

When they were finally able to speak to him, it was Delta who did so. Caboose was familiar with him, and could actually get him to listen properly, so it would make things run more smoothly. Finally, they were going to get a body! They were going to be able to interact with the world!

But which one of them?

They didn't have to worry for too long after that. Caboose did manage to find them a body, but there was some slight damage during the transfer. Nothing too serious; it actually helped with the repression Epsilon needed to stay sane.

But it was at this point that they became him.
