[AJ] Sometimes when you defeat an enemy, they come back stronger. Like when you cut off the head of a snake, but in this case a cube. If you cut off the head of a cube then you have more surfaces of which you have to deal with later. A cube... could become an octagon.
[Sam] I wish he would get to the fuckin’ point.
[AJ] An octagon could become a quadragon. But it matters not. What I just said didn’t matter.

I was there at the end of the Obama-time. He came rushing towards the cubes. So fast, so strong. The cubes faltered for a moment and he broke through the front lines.

And Obama disappeared into the cube jelly. One man dying for many. Into the jelly. It must be jelly because jam don’t shake.
