[VIDEO] UN: EGGMAN

[reneggadetinkerer]

I am currently looking for someone who has interfaced with the Communications data point for a project I am working on. Commute to Sh'Ka is mandatory though you don't need to stay. Frankly, it's better for me if you don't.

Don't bother inquiring if you can't take things seriously, can't take direction, or aren't willing to work.

If interested, get in touch with me as soon as conceivably possible. Preferably within the next day or two.

And, on that note, who here has interfaced with the Engineering data point?

Honestly, this data point system is the most infuriating and non-efficient system I've ever encountered. Did nobody beta test this?!

So, there's another alien race in play, is there?

...Interesting.

[He continues the rest of the journey in relative silence save for the odd complaint. Finally, they reach a building within spitting distance of the power plant. And once inside, Eggman proceeds to head to one of the top floors.]

Ah, at last. Lab sweet lab! Come, Donatello, we've wasted precious time just hiking here.

[The 'lab' is spartan, but already Eggman seems to have set up a functioning space. A good half dozen of the native robots are disassembled and broken down by part and he seems to already have detailed schematics of the bots he's disassembled.]

Allow me to show you the designs for my sentry bot.

[On an old table, Eggman rolls out the blueprints to...a small, cute monkey.

It's an old design...outdated by several years, actually. But given our limited resources I decided it was best to start small.

[thepurpleone]

Potentially more. There's for sure another group that may actually be responsible for the storms and driving the Agrii out themselves, and apparently some of the old equipment left lying around originates from them. They're called the Atroma.

[You really need to get out more, Eggman. Donnie's just glad they don't run into any of the local fauna but at least he's kept on the alert as they made way. But now they're here!

At least the turtle isn't expecting too much. He knows how little there is to work with so any progress is considered a plus. And he's not unfamiliar with the robots, given he and Sonic had stumbled across the manor and its strange housekeeping inhabitants not too long ago.]

Ooh-

[Eager to see what sort of cool designs someone specialized in robots has concocted, Donnie's a little...surprised to see something so adorable.]

That's...uh... An interesting design choice there.

[reneggadetinkerer]

Many of my earlier works drew inspiration from the anthropomorphic. After all, nature has seen fit to give them sizeable advantages.

This is Coconuts. His design will allow him to easily climb the trees here in Sh'Ka and provide an 'eye in the sky' throughout the remains of the city. Naturally, he's designed to be a part of a network. If I can build enough, I can monitor all of Sh'Ka...provided I can find someone to help me code an appropriate app...

[He...sounds a little sinister there. And he quickly pivots.]

Naturally, I'd make it available to everyone! We could deploy these in Temba too!

[thepurpleone]

Truuue...

[Still questioning design choices. Donnie hadn't been expecting anything so organically inspired. He definitely has his own particular tastes and Robotnik's seem to be entirely in a different direction.

Donnie's a little amused that this is Robotnik's choice of how to monitor things, but he's not going to question the necessity. And if he helps with the programming then it'd be easier to gain access too...]

Apps are super easy, like I said- if you still need help with the programming whenever the time comes, just let me know.

Of course there's no point in having an app without something to connect to it. I brought my tools in anticipation of getting some work done.

[reneggadetinkerer]

Excellent! I was hoping we'd be able to get a prototype up and running so we could field test it!

It's nice to see someone so prepared for a change. Considering the rest of the dead weight around here.

[thepurpleone]

Never hurts to be prepared! Especially when there's a lot of potential salvage to be uncovered.

[He pulls his bag from over him, setting it down on the table to pull out a roll of tools he's put together or dug up or replicated.]

Shall we?

[reneggadetinkerer]

[Eggman doesn't impress easily. That said, Donatello's foresight and preparation were certainly a boon. Memories of Dr. Starlight flash in his mind; memories which he quickly dismisses. Starline was a sycophant. His obsession for Eggman had been useful but exhausting and ultimately his adoration was self-serving. Starline didn't have a selfless atom in his entire molecular structure, but Donatello? Brilliant and magnanimous?]

[He could use a mind like Donatello's easily. And it was clear the turtle was younger; likely no older than Sonic was. He had a certain naivety about him. One that could be nurtured if Eggman tweaked the proper settings.]

[Starline craved validation because deep down, he wanted to be better than him. He wanted to be superior. Donatello? Well, he was likely after something more.]

[Eggman places a heavy hand on Donatello's shoulder.]

Of course, Donatello. It would be a privilege to watch such a talented young mind adapt my schematics. Please, be my guest~!

[Show me just how useful you can be...Gehehehehahaha...!]
