Shadow the Hedgehog

"Don't worry it won't do that either." ---- "I was just telling Anna how nice it is she's found a potential hobby."

"Yeah my android won't have that feature." ---- "My thoughts exactly. Let's hope he doesn't take it too badly if you persuade Crowley to take you out again."

"Agreed." ----- "He's making slow but steady progress in the clingy department. Though I doubt he'll find anyone else soon. For starters he'd have nowhere to meet them."

"It's ok I'll buy it tomorrow on my break," said Hope. ---- "Thanks for coming out tonight, I think it meant a lot to him." ----- "It was nothing but a decoy, as I suspected. The decrepid fool should show his face any minute and then we can be out of here with haste."

"I don't unfortunately, do you Shadow?" asked Hope. Shadow shook his head. ---- "But that's not to say it was smooth sailing after that."

"Not really, the sequel has plenty of humans that aren't evil." ---- "Yeah, luck that I got him talking in the cell in the first place."

"Most likely." ----- "I think it was more by luck than anything."

"I'll give you that." ---- "Wait did he say snakes?" muttered Zamy.

"I don't think it can feel pain. Though milk was an odd choice for blood," joked Shadow. ---- "I haven't a clue, so I assume not too different from their Prime versions. And I''m fine thank you Miles."

"Yeah and woah! Looks like they just started. He's a robot!?" ---- "I think that might be it. But yes that's whose coming."

"Yeah. I wonder what'll get him first, the crew or the alien." ---- "The first one is Zark, and the second is Zunnie. Why oh why do we Zone Cops have to have names with a Z at the start? It doesn't even make sense."

Hope nodded as the lead discovered their science officer had orders from the company to capture a specimen regardless of the danger to the crew. ---- Zamy looked through her messages on the PDA and found out who was arriving in the morning. "Never met them before. But if they're specialists."

"I doubt it'll work." ---- "No, I'm trying to find out now."

"I don't think that'll work." --- "They will. It's scheduled in. I just need to find out who they are first."

"Thanks... ok it's getting tense again," said Hope as the crew members discovered they cpuldn't all just escape in the shuttle due to limited life support on it. ---- "It makes no difference to me, I'd be up making calls and sending messages anyway, the backup arrives tomorrow and I have to make sure everything's all set."

"No argument here." ---- Zamy prepped the teleporter. "Up to you Anna."

"We've only seen bits and pieces of the big one, which makes it all the more creepy." --- "Exactly. Shall I take you back?"

"I'll take that as a compliment. Iwonder when we'll see this alien in its full glory."

Hope laughed. "Thanks." ---- "Just don't feel pressured Anna."

"It must do. Though you couldn't pay me to go after that thing." --- "That should save me buying a pipe detector, please do, though only near the time. I haven't even bought paintings yet."

"Yeah I guess you're right." ---- "Don't worry I'll check that first. We don't want maintenance bills."

"Yeah. They couldn't even find him. Just the flamethrower." --- "Well there's a first tike for everything. I just need to fix paintings to the wall."

"The beeps joined.... I think he's gone." ----- Zamy laughed. "I hope you're handy with a hammer Miles," she joked.

"Oh no the dot's getting closer." --- "Thank you. It needs a few more furnishings on the walls I think but I love it."

"He's got a slim chance." ---- "It was my pleasure. I can't remember, have you seen the apartment before Anna?"
