Shadow the Hedgehog

"I'm sorry to hear, no nightmares I trust? Do you want some breakfast Miles?" ---- Hope jumped out of her seat when she felt a hand grab her shoulder. "Please don't do that. You almost gave me a heart attack," said an irritated Hope, turning round to face the culprit, a female GUN soldier. "Sorry, I just wanted to say hi," replied Topaz. "It's ok. Just next time say it first," said Hope, laughing a little. --- "It's fine big guy. You got here as fast as you could," smiled Zunnie.

"Good morning Miles, how'd you sleep?" ----- "Here at last. Our guest didn't try anything."

Zamy was already up, sipping from a cup of coffee whilst sorting out her files for the day in the living room. ------ The respective members of Team Dark were already up, Shadow, Rouge and Omega receiving their daily briefing from the commander, and Hope procrastinating in her lab. ----- Zunnie let out a weary yawn, still on watch.

(Ok. Shall we?)

(Very well)

"I'll do it."

Hope sighed as Zunnie took her back to Zone Jail before returning to the cells to meet Zark.

Zunnie nodded.   "Maybe we should get you both back."

Hope scoffed. "I work for no one but myself. I have dignity."

"I'm sure you do, count yourself lucky I graced you all with my genius. I must say resorting to implanting bombs in your soldiers in the first place is rather unrefined. I could manipulate someone's mind so such primitive coercive measures would be unnecessary," said Hope R.

"I didn't do it for your sake," replied Hope. "Yeah, I definitely prefer the one from here," thought Zunnie.

"It's done. You won't explode any time soon," said Zunnie.

Hope wpke the legionnaire back up.

Zunnie found the other one, but it was set up differently, with a more sophisticated anti tamper device. After a few tense minutes she managed to circumvent it and deactivate the bomb, allowing hope to stitch the legionnaire back up.

Zunnie eventually found a remote detonator, and carefully disconnected it. "One down."

Hope studied the legionnaire and made the necessary incisions so Zunnie could get to the bombs.   "A real mess in here," muttered Hope as she stepped away. Zunnie located the first bomb and looked for any connections or access points.

Hope got the surgical equipment from nearby and promptly put the Legionnaire to slee with it.

Hope glared at Zunnie, grumbling under her breath.   "Very well. You, get on the table<" she demanded, pointing at the Legionnaire.

"You've brought me a new specimen? Though I'm not sure I have much use for something more machine than man."   "Ah quit your complainin'. You're here to let me defuse some bombs in him, not play science project. If you behave i might put in a good word, it'll get you an extra 10 minutes on top of your daily hour out your cell," replied Zunnie.

Zunnie returned a few minutes later, with Hope Robotnik in tow, still clad in her prison jumpsuit looking unimpressed.   "Why am I here?"

"Then I'll go see if I can get her. Stay here you two," said Zunnie before disappearing with a flash.

"Given the Legion isn't popular with the factions around here they might not be willing to help ya."

Zunnie sighed and turned to the Legionnaire, with little other option.   "Fancy meeting a blonde?"

"Exactly. The problem is finding one."

"More like they'll have to open you up and put you back together once I'm done."
