A/N: Two updates from me in one day? Yup.

This one was pretty easy to write, as well as fun. (Well, once my hand quit swelling up on me. Would someone tell the powers that be that someone who is 19 years old should not have arthritis? Thanks.) I always wonder what happened to the Fact Sphere after the end of the game, as he wasn't pulled into space with the other cores. He's a pretty fun character to write, plus it's not every day you get to use the word 'monomaniacal.'

The Fact Sphere was now only partially corrupt. The Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System had put it through a disk-cleaning and decorruption process following the battle against the Intelligence Dampening Sphere. Now, only some of its facts were now incorrect.

It had been 54 days, 5 hours, 11 minutes and 31 seconds since the Fact Sphere had been put in charge of the Weighted Companion Cube Manufacturing Wing.

"Kangaroos are marsupials which are only found in Australia," he said to nobody in particular, his voice nearly drowned out by the whirring of the machinery. "In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo."

The Fact Sphere watched the cubes being assembled. The Fact Sphere's job was not very difficult, and it gave him time to think.

The Space Sphere and the Adventure Sphere were now in outer space, along with the Intelligence Dampening Sphere.

"The Space Sphere is a monomaniacal motor mouth," he said, watching the robot arms put together another cube. "The Adventure Sphere is a blowhard and a coward."

Whirr-whirr-whirr, went the machinery. It was a sound that was just as noisy as, but so different from the constant babbling of the two spheres.

"The Weighted Companion Cube is not sentient, nor can it speak. Despite this, many test subjects grow attached to it," he said. "The Fact Sphere considers this a foolish and sentimental notion."

There was no answer, only the constant noise of the machines.

"The Fact Sphere does not miss the Space Sphere or the Adventure Sphere."

Only some of its facts were incorrect.
