Bob I love you! You were right with me even when I didn't know it! Of course, you were at it with different motives.

"Phong, you've gotta split us apart!"

Bob burst in on Phong in the middle of whatever he was doing. I was enjoying being along for the ride, charging down the halls of the Principle Office, angling around turns, skidding to stops. Things were going better than ever! I wasn't in pain, we weren't at war, I'd never felt more alive!

Well, except for when I had my own body… I felt pretty alive when I had my own body.

An Irony at most! On with the de-mergifying! Maybe while he's trying to get us apart he'll open up some kind of door for the rest of my little friends to get out. Won't he be surprised when he finds out he had a race of beings in him? The look on his face will be priceless.

If it works that is.

Or if Phong ever gives us the wretched archive passcode

"Great now you don't trust me." Bob said, sounding remarkably cynical to my ears. I guess the two Bobs thing was finally arousing suspicion among the locals. "You don't think I'm the original."

"Yes I do!" Phong said quickly.

Go Phong! Wait… you don't really do do you? OF COURSE HES THE ORIGINAL! Hello? Can you see me in here? A Virus Bob would NOT have my loyalty let me tell you.

Well, in any case we weren't getting anywhere with Phong. Bob marched out and back down to a private workstation. "Crash it all… why's everyone gotten so basic around here." He stopped in the doorway of the white walled room, the entrance sliding shut behind him. "Maybe I'm the copy."

What are you saying? Of course you're not! Look at everyone in here! You're the real deal, a real sprite who's really merged with a real keytool! The other guy's a Trojan Horse, Bob! Why can't you see that?

"Maybe Dot's better off with him… she likes him better."

…

… so that's it. One track mind Bob, one track mind.

He was so lovesick for Dot he wasn't thinking straight. I guess its natural. I've watched sprites fall in love before. But now's not the time.

After I get out of here I'm telling him off.
