They've returned. 

(Thank Gaia.)

It is terribly late, but it sounds like a job well done. It will take some time to evaluate the damage, but until then, it is business as usual. Keeping the momentum up is a must. 

Sincerely yours,

And they're off. 

I find myself restless in my control room as the sun inches closer toward the horizon. And what better way to calm the nerves than to write a little? 

I'm sure you must be aware by now of the countless hours I've put into those two. Any major catastrophe could set us back to the very beginning. I would rebuild, of course, but I've set it in mind that I'm close to the finish line. 

We're so far ahead of schedule that I find myself shocked at the countdown. The final step of bearing down on the Doctor's burgeoning capital city draws ever nearer, and I will find myself seated on the throne of the Empire within two weeks. 

It's exciting. It's terrifying. It is everything I deserve, everything I've worked so hard for. 

I feel a cup of tea and continued coding may be in order. I do need to tighten up my bypass algorithm in preparation for the takeover…

Sincerely yours,

I must admit, while things are going smoothly, I am troubled by uncertainty. 

Surge has developed fully into her programming. My only concern is also her greatest strength: her sheer force of will is as inscrutable as a hurricane. She's demanding, and as such, I need to stay one step ahead of her to keep her in check. 

Which is no problem, of course. Both subjects are highly susceptible to suggestion once they wake from their hypnosis. 

Tomorrow I will be sending them out for their first real field test. No barriers, no observation within the confines of Sigma. They will truly be off leash.

… I feel as apprehensive as I was leaving them alone on my trip to White Park. I worry about whether or not they will come back. The unquestioning loyalty and the lack of direction I've programmed in, paired with the inability to understand or function within the real world, will give them plenty of reason to return to me. 

How in the world does Zavok trust his pack to behave according to that loyalty? He makes a fine point: the chaotic, unpredictable nature of a thinking person is just what I need to utilise in terms of ingenuity when backs are against the wall. But at the same time, that unpredictability means that they could simply... refuse. Turn on you. Up and walk away. We have both seen it. We have both done it. There is comfort in a mindless machine. It is unflappable. It will always come back. 

Surge's brashness and contradictory nature is a microcosm of my global dominion. The irony is not lost on me. The very thing I need to utilise for success could just as easily rip everything apart at the seams. I don't like the uncertainty. It goes against everything I’ve believed in up to this point. 

Just because I may need to learn this lesson doesn't mean I have to like it!

Sincerely yours,

ahck. my Starline. he's been Angora Ferreted. context...

Dr. Starline and a Bean the Dynamite doodles because I finally figured out how to draw them properly :DD

VOLTZ FANART VOLTZ FANART!!! BOTTOM TEXT BOLD LETTERS!!

holy SHIT i love this sosomuch ,, I love the way you drew his feathers!! ITS SO SWAG!!!

"It was a murder, but not a crime."

The great, the bombastic, the daring! Nette Showtime! One of Voltz' creations during his time at the Eggman Empire. Nette was their way of making an Eggboss that would be able to control both bodies AND minds.

This termite believes that the Eggman/Sonic loop is "boring" and the audience "needs a new show". Making everything an entertaining show is her main goal. She'll make as many "puppets" as she needs to make that happen!

Nette is able to transform mobians into puppets, in both senses of the word. Her abilities allow her to be able to control the "puppets'" bodies with her hands (though she does like to use marionette controllers more). She's only able to control a certain number of mobians (8 is the max, one for each hand). Nette is also able to summon four more hands from her back for more "space".

Nette eventually managed to escape the Empire (some how, some way). Found a Starline and Voltz hiding out, also finding her first two puppets for her solo act. It was perfect. A platypus everyone preferred dead and a swan nobody knew about. Who could stop her? Better question, who would care? Answer, Sonic cared.

Eventually this did lead into Voltz and Starline being able to escape their confinements as puppets... but that's not apart of her story.

I'm.. unsure of what happens to Nette afterwards. Either she ends up with no powers or she ends up in jail. Regardless, she's currently not a threat.

Under the cut i'm gonna post some concept arts cause holy SHIT she took a LOT of concepts to finalize. I need you guys to understand how long this girl has been in concept hell.

That was gruesome. 

I hadn’t meant for them to be tested quite like this so early on. I shall spare you the details, but suffice it to say that Surge bounced back from being caught in between the jaws of a reinforced sliding door. Kitsunami had seen the entire thing, and when his sobs threatened to overwhelm him into hyperventilation, I figured that erasing that particular memory may be more beneficial in the long run. 

Pity. I was hoping that Surge's misfortune with the sliding door would’ve motivated Kitsunami to perform better, rather than not at all. 

A slight setback, but they were ready to run the course again once I’d removed Surge's fear response of the sliding door. 

The trauma apparently still lives deep within the subconscious, however. Surge was prepared for the sliding door this time. The course was passed within the hour, and I dismissed them early. I want to give Surge more time to heal, just in case. I don’t want any permanent breaks before deployment.

Sincerely yours,
