Final Trial.

[legionofmods]

[Eventually, after enough searching, a door seemingly appears from nowhere - leading out to a large circular room. There’s a handful of chairs, but not enough for all of you, meaning some of you might have to walk around for a bit. Which is more than fine - this place seems to be filled up to the brim with knick-knacks. Most specifically the clone pods adorning the wall here as well, as well as some fairly innocent lab equipment and scrap metal. Someone used to work here.

Once you’ve all gathered, a voice calls out to you. From within the area.]

DISCUSS WHAT YOU HAVE FOUND. ONCE YOU BEGIN TO GAIN A SEMBLANCE OF WHY YOU ARE HERE, WE WILL DISCUSS YOUR FUTURE.

Are you suggesting that he killed them himself?

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

It would fit with what the giant turtle has told us. Or whatever project he was working on went rogue entirely and decided to make its own version of the league.

[kingofkoopas]

Whole thing is freaky.

[Hes at the back of the room and scoffs.]

What do they need eight hundred freakin’ copies of these losers for?

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

Could be an army of some kind, though from the looks of those profiles many of you aren't suited for mass combat.

[A lot more eccentric generals, maybe, than foot soldiers.]

Though if it were me... if the robots mimic your personalities and knowledge in addition to your physical capabilities, I'd say it was to run large numbers of tests on you all that would likely prove damaging or fatal to the originals.

[umslay]

They'd have to be psychological tests, not biological. There's no way you can run every experiment on robotic copies. Now, having them conduct social experiments? Definitely. It's easy to have the spitting images of feared villains that never appear to die.

...Besides, robots can have all sorts of upgrades! Even Dennis could have guns installed in him!

None of us knew any of the apparent League members, though. It might make sense if Eggman had been planning some sort of coup that was then upstaged.
