TAILS - That’s not what I mean. After we beat Dr. Eggman and his forces, we broke the Eggman Empire’s control over our world. The Badnik Army remained, but not as a unified threat. Any attacks seemed more like accidents than aggression. But today, unified troop movements? Super Badniks being deployed? Setting up ambushes? Something is making Eggman’s army more cohesive. 

TAILS (Curiously) - Without so much as an angry vlog? No way. After that last defeat, he’d make sure we knew he was back. But the lack of fanfare is spooky.

TAILS (Objectively) - 

Well yeah, but Neo has command over the Master Emerald. Everyone knows that it can neutralize the Chaos Emeralds. What if it can do the same to the Sol Emeralds? 

TAILS (Objectively Concerned) - Then what if Neo copied Blaze’s bio-data? He’d be able to use her fire powers at least, and harness the Sol Emeralds for himself at worst.

TAILS (Unsure) - Okay, I’ve confirmed the damage from our fight. The loss of the Master Emerald reverted him back to his standard, basic abilities. I’ve finished the last of the necessary repairs. So are you sure you want to do this? 

———————————————

TAILS (Correctly) - Right. Instead of a mad genius, now we’ve got another mad genius with Sonic’s abilities and limitless stamina.

TAILS (Reassuringly) - I’ll bet! I built this test chamber to run models through all sorts of artificial climate and atmospheric conditions. In other words, there’s no way he’s getting out of there.

TAILS (Positively Determined) - I think we should warn everyone to keep an eye out for any signs of these….. (Disgusted) (Sighs) Zombots. Eggman’s robots already attacked your town once. I’d hate for it to be targeted again. 

TAILS (Examining Curiously) - 

[Takes a closer look at SONIC’s infected arm.] Persistent and aggressive. It seems like your speed can burn it off and keep it in check, but not cure it. Let me run some models for more particular data.

TAILS (Urgently Questioning) - You said the same guys who attacked and terrorized the village kidnapped Mr. Tinker? 

TAILS (Urgently Questioning) - Did you get a good look at them? Maybe hear their names? 

TAILS (Stunned) - Uh… Did they just try to rhyme “pummel” with “tumble?” 

TAILS (Contradicting) - I don’t remember you saying they had those weird weapons.
