[Shaking, obviously shooken by something. Sonic tells him he can fix whatever problem is going on] "No--you can't! They took all the wisps and wispons. Without those wispons, or a way to power them, we don't stand a chance! They're unstoppable now!"

[Still scared, however, tells Knuckles and Sonic about the situation] *Gulp* "True enough.. okay.. Just before the war ended, a couple of mercenaries showed up. They were ferocious. They drove back Eggman's forces and saved the town. They said they were going to improve our defenses... but what they really did was take our arsenal and took us prisoner within our own town! Now we have to do everything they say. We have no way to fight back. And we can't escape with all the robots stalking outside the wall!"

[Happy that Knuckles and Sonic are going to handle the situation] "Th-they turned the supply depot into a fortress. Just down this road on the right - you can't miss it."
