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.

A CREATION OF SORTS. NOT OF THIS DIMENSION.

[Footsteps. Metallic footsteps sound as a very tall figure makes themselves known...]

[legionofmods]

[...he is absolutely a robot. A very tall and ominous robot. He resembles a hedgehog in at least some manner - Liv specifically has seen models similar to this one in the doctor’s blueprints, but not this exact model. Something that has been modified well beyond those rudimentary designs.

Mecha Sonic’s red ‘eye’ focuses on Liv. He shows no emotion, looking at her from above the group.]

AM I STILL ‘’IN YOUR WAY”, MS. OCTAVIOUS?

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[Huh. Well.]

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[ATTACK MODE ACTIVATE]

That's DOCTOR Octavius, scrapheap.

[#yolo]

[legionofmods]

I SUGGEST YOU RECONSIDER YOUR OPTIONS, “DOCTOR”.

[Because Alvin Earthworm was insane designing this character, Mecha Sonic’s right arm metamorphaizes into a chain gun. Without a pause, he fires upon Liv’s legs specifically - aiming to disable her more than anything else.

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[Her legs or her "legs"? Let's assume yes.]

Ah-!

[She's fast, but not faster than the fast-ish thing alive. Down she go, bullets tearing through the rubbery outer skin on her legs and thudding solidly into her actual legs.]

[The second before she hits the ground, one arm flicks the emerald back towards the rest of the group. That's. Probably not gonna do much, but it's better than nothing.]

[masterbreaker]

[Suddenly, the emerald is coming straight towards him, and Rex is quick to prepare himself for it. Only being an inch tall sure has it's disadvantages, as when he attempts to catch it - it knocks him over. But he's not weak enough that he can't lift it.

After pushing himself up from the ground, Rex holds the emerald above his head, taking a step back.]

I got it!

[legionofmods]

I’LL CRUSH YOU!

[Can you really play catchaway with someone whose speed is on par with a hedgehog who regularly breaks the sound barrier? He’s upon Rex in a minute, having identified a weak spot, and preparing to blast him.]

[madmadam]

[A giant purple vulture swoops in and grabs both Rex and the emerald in its talons. Caw caw, motherfucker.]

I'd love to see you try, you rustbucket!

[masterbreaker]

Will you, now? I'd like to see you try.

[Just as he's about to throw the emerald, he's swept up in Mim's claws. Thank you based Mim!]

[legionofmods]

[is he gonna try and gun mom down while she’s flying? yeah. for sure. you guys escalated this.]

[umslay]

[Ales thankfully thought to bring his tools to the investigation. He has already run to his seat and picked up a wrench.

He chucks it at the robot's head.]

[legionofmods]

[He’s quick to swipe the wrench out of the way, sending it careening.]

INSOLENT—! YOU DOOM YOURSELVES BY RUNNING AWAY IN LIEU OF DISCUSSION!

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

Should've considered that before kidnapping us for this farce!

[masterbreaker]

[He peeks out from Mim’s claw—]

No kidding! Talk about rude, huh?

[neednoaccuser]

We's just allowed to go murdering and shit until it's inconvenient for you, huh?

[legionofmods]

I NEEDED BATTERIES!

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[Oh god the Matrix was right.]

Is that what happened to the League? You burned their souls for fuel?

[....neat]

[Mildly existentially terrifying, but neat.]

[legionofmods]

[Definitely terrifying.]

AND THE SAME WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR DEAD FRIENDS! YOU COULD HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO WALK FREE WITHOUT THEM!

[umslay]

Really? Can't you modify yourself to run on something that isn't so labor intensive?

Is this whole facade really worth it?

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[That actually would've been tempting, but. Tinplated fucker made it personal.]

Except there's a reason you didn't just kill us yourself, isn't there? What's your battery life looking like right now?

[tedioustrivium]

...Oh that's a robot! Not for nothing, but I thought it was like a boating thing.

[masterbreaker]

...That sure is a robot.

[Hey! He's been here this entire time.]

[legionofmods]

OF SORTS. I AM MORE ADVANCED THAN THE ABERAGE BUCKET OF BOLTS.

[umslay]

Clearly.

[He doesn't look realistic, thankfully. He's just a run-of-the-mill killer robot.]

Now what came first, the hedgehog or the egg?
