Memory wiped, he wakes in the Cove, being the sixth person to actually arrive. There's only three people, including him during this time, so things are slow. He's quick to try and explore, but realizes the dangers of going beyond the wall, and how it changes nightly. It starts to get cold quick, so no one gets into the actual bay, leaving months of unexplored Maze, until it warms up. During this time, there were people coming up in the crate, but some died due to cold weather, illness and lack of proper resources — Ultimately, leaving Micah as one of the last originals left, to which he took leadership. As the weather got warmer, he took lead in exploring the maze and trying to map it.

━━━━━━ QUICK EXPLANATIONS The Cove is a very large area that consists of a bay and partially ocean. Surrounded by walls, the outside of this area is the Maze. It changes nightly; the floors of the Maze are more often than not sea water. Sometimes, it gets deeper as you go, or even just starts off deep. It gets up to 30ft deep, and there are even kelp forest, and coral reefs, but there's never any marine animals found in the actual Maze. Krakens are the counterparts to Grievers, these are mechanically made, with wide beaks of razors and such, coated in a venom like liquid — As opposed to a Griever sting, they bite. They do tend to drag people underwater, and there tentacles have been seen on the edges of the walls late at night. Fortunately, they only come out at night, and can be heard obnoxiously splashing water and making wailing sounds.
