Attention! This is Dr. Ivo Robotnik speaking and, as I assume I'm not the only one stranded on this wretched world, I am opening up communications for some proper answers. It appears my abductors can't be reached at the moment and I've already spent enough time familiarizing myself with what little information that is available.

If you have received this transmission, make yourselves known. Rest assured, if there is a way off of this world, then I will be the one to find it!

[And he may even let you tag along. Maybe.]

That is very true. [Especially here. He needs to get back to studying those available energy sources.]

Well look at it this way, at least you missed the volcanic eruption so you're starting fresh! And anything that hasn't collapsed from everything that came with that ordeal will likely be quite sturdy.

[Donnie can't help but stare a bit at the mustache-fiddling. He half expects the thing to move on its own.]

Orbital has been a possibility I've considered. There's a lot of potential out there and it's even more convenient for whoever's making use of such means because we're limited to things planet-side.

Hm. That...is an enlightening way to look at things! Oh this is the breath of fresh air I needed, I've been kind of in a rut and totally forgot that perspective is everything!

[reneggadetinkerer]

[Oh Eggman knows that grin. That's the grin of a mind already at work and ignoring consequences.]

[This young turtle will certainly prove useful.]

Exactly as you say, Donatello. Perspective is the key. And unfortunately, there are those who have set perspectives. Perspectives that do not waiver and therefore stagnate.

It is up to us to envision for them. It is a heavy burden, isn't it? But what is the antithesis of convention of not invention?

[thepurpleone]

[Consequences are just new points on the learning curve!]

You certainly have a way with words, doc.

You're absolutely right. This place has been running within set boundaries so long it's even affecting the way we think. Time to blow things wide open!

[reneggadetinkerer]

You'll find that oration is but one of my many talents, Donatello.

And I, personally, have been taken by your choice of words, myself.

[Perhaps being stranded on this dead world won't be so bad after all...]

[thepurpleone]

I mean, why do anything if it's not at least a little flashy, right?

[It has nothing at all to do with his penchant for wanting leave a lasting impression, whether figuratively or literally. Well, okay, it has everything to do with it.]

[reneggadetinkerer]

Precisely, Donatello! Precisely! If we want these dullards to properly appreciate our work, a little presentation is in order! Ambition should be trimmed in neon!

I look forward to seeing what you concoct now that you've emerged from your stagnation.

[thepurpleone]

[Or in this case, neon purple!]

I shall strive not to disappoint!

[reneggadetinkerer]

Reach out to me when you've got something to show.

In the meantime, I'll be searching for a suitable facility to designate as my Command Outpost!

I'll have to see if I can get a rudimentary EggNet framework mapped out...

[thepurpleone]

You got it!

Let me know if you might need anything in the meantime.

[Salute! Donnie, out!]
