Shadow the Hedgehog

Hope giggled. -'--' "Not really. Committing yourself to victory with no regard to cost leads to a hollowing of said victory because such an attitude leads to unnecessary risk taking."

"So do I, for your sake." ----- "We did. A small victory at little cost is better than full victory at any cost."

"Exactly." ------ "Do you really think someone like Nega wouldn't have contingency plans up the kazoo? For all we know that could've been an android decoy whilst the real Nega ran off to another base. Whatever the case he isn't finished, just rebuilding."

"Sorry, my room can't permanently fit 2. Plus your sisters and other family are in Haven." ------ "The war's in a lull as Nega's recovering."

"Yeah. Have fun living there." ------ "Hopefully not in my service time."

"Filling up with children. Not exactly my ideal company." ----- "Yeah, I odn't have to stitch together my own uniform yet."

"It's the cameras. We have plenty here, but security staff are visible and I know whose watching the camera feeds. Haven is jsut.... deserted almost. It makes me feel uneasy, like I'll take a wrong turn and disappear down a hole." ----- "Even after the war," nodded Zamy.

"Yeah, that place is kinda creepy to me." ------ "We aren' that desperate yet."

"It's up to you." ----- "No doubt someone will suggest that to increase our budget."

"Do you want to go back to Haven tonight?" asked Hope. ------ "I guess they didn't have that movie on Moebius. That's the one good thing about No Zone, we've got a monpoly on time and space essentially."

"Don't mention it." ---- "Well it would help him hold the world the ransom for.... ONE BILLION DOLLARS!" giggled Zamy, putting her little finger to her lip. "Don't mention it." ---- "Well it would help him hold the world the ransom for.... ONE BILLION DOLLARS!" giggled Zamy, putting her little finger to her lip.

"Go for it." ----- "At least they can't get you on land."

"Neither of us are getting anything," replied Shadow. -------- "Where nobody can hear you scream," joked Zamy.

"Perfect." ---- "It is. Good if you really need to get away from it all though."

"They are," smiled Hope. ---- "True."

"Sure, you won't be disappointed." --- "Really? I thought you'd like the quietness of it."

"Ok. I'm gonna get some banana fritters. Have a look at the menu." --- "Yep. Sure you don't want me to take you to a place like that?"

Hope, Sjadow and Rouge slowly finished their meals. "You want dessert," asked Hope. ---- "The last guy whp tried didn't get far before his innards were eaten."

"One thing at a time Melody." ---- "One of them has the puniest looking switchblade I've ever laid eyes on, so no. They still can't form a good plan."

"We had a lot longer to experiment and perfect it." ----- "Thanks Miles," called Zamy.

"The benefits of living in the big city." ---- "There's a pizza in the freezer we can share if you want?"

"No problem." ----- "It's fine, I'll get something in a minute."

Hope and the others started their food as well. ------- "Speaking of that, I am getting a bit peckish." Zamy turned to Miles with a smile. "All the better that you're here."
