STAB: “I break people’s ankles…that’s it.”

STAB: “I break people’s ankles…that’s it.”
And when she enters…she gets locked inside of it…
Nova: “What? Oh come on, come on, come on…open up!”
As she tries to escape, a door behind her opens…and she goes through it, hoping to find another way out. Eventually finding her way all to the end of the first level of the building, she enters an elevator of sorts and is forced to the 9th level of the building…said building is entirely located underground with the exception of the first level. As she steps out, she continues to walk around…confused.
Eventually, she enters what appears to be a lab of some kind before she gets knocked out by something…
End of Act One
He seems to be asking those people questions…although from this distance, it’s unclear what he’s asking them, thougu he’s also carrying a piece of paper, it’s unknown as of current what it is on that paper, but it’s obviously related to the questions he’s asking…
An Unknown Individual fades into the transmission feed, alongside a high-tech base behind them
(yes, this base looks like one of the bases made by The Architects in Subnautica, technically the image is of Fabricator Base from Below Zero but lore-wise it actually isn’t.)
???: “Is this thing on? If it is, My name is Naomi, I’m a Rogue G.U.N. Operative, I’ve been forced to go into hiding because of that, some of you folks know one of my most recent works in artificial intelligence, a program known as ‘Storm’, who had infiltrated the systems of a robot known as ‘SUPERNOVA’, not to be confused with that ‘DIRECTIVE’ Program I’ve heard about, I had mainly designed Storm to figure out if G.U.N. was onto my location, Her becoming great friends with SUPERNOVA was not planned…regardless, I’m a neutral party and I’ve made sure to encrypt my signal to a point where it’s effectively untraceable, tracing would require a vast majority of power…both the estimation of power and the tracing itself might not end up being accurate though. The main point of this being, I do not wish to be found, but I do wish for you folks to know of my presence for reasons I…cannot disclose at this time, what I can disclose is that somebody a good amount of you folks thought was dead…actually survived. I can’t say who yet, but know that an old friend will be making a return sometime soon!”

You can only ask the following characters stuff
Infinite Thorne Jackal
Nova Texas Jackal
Frost Titus Jackal
PERMAFROST
and Signal The Red Wisp
Responses may vary depending on when in the events of the subreddits timeline the question is asked
Depending on the day, it may take a bit for me to respond.
This is obviously the work of somebody who has the power to take over robots…but who would have the time and dedication to go through the effort of destroying the locator beacons instead of just deactivating them?
Well, the answer to such a question is DIRECTIVE, but, to the knowledge of quite literally everybody in the empire, DIRECTIVE was destroyed during the first part of Operation Black Dusk…
DIRECTIVE: “ALL HAIL THE PHANTOM OVERSEER.”
BADNIKS: “ALL HAIL THE PHANTOM OVERSEER!!!”
((…I don’t know how to describe it outside of the title.))
So, you can ask questions to any of the following characters!
This AMA will run indefinitely, so no worries about being “late”
Infinite Thorne Jackal
Nova Texas Jackal
Adeline Tessa Wolf
Frost Titus Jackal
SUPERNOVA
Storm
PERMAFROST
Signal (The Red Wisp from Adeline’s Wispon)
DIRECTIVE
Riley the G.U.N. Agent
and
DIRECTIVE (Post-REFORM Protocol, because yes, they DO act differently compared to the actual DIRECTIVE)
((Do note that the interactions will not occur canonically, but their answers to such questions would be around the same case for the canon versions of them…this also means that, canonically speaking, they will NOT end up finding out that DIRECTIVE or Adeline are still alive.))
I AM BEING COMPLETELY SERIOUS WITH THIS, BY THE WAY.
THESE ARE LEGIT THE SCENES THAT INSPIRED BASICALLY THE ENTIRETY OF THE SACRIFICE.
((Note: This will have one main thread going on with it, and it’ll be the one I end up beginning, which is the one now linked here - https://www.reddit.com/r/EggmanEmpireRP/s/4fY6I1xQH4 ))
As everybody rushes towards the Throne Room, they near an area of which they will have to pass through to get there…except something’s off with it…there’s a presence of sorts…You all stop at the hallway just before you enter the room…when a face that would be familiar for anybody present at the “Battle for Kingdom Valley”…It’s DIRECTIVE...the fact that they are here cannot be good…
DIRECTIVE: “Ah, sooo glad that you folks could make it to your own slaughter. Although, I do suppose that the feeling isn’t mutual.”
“Preston Garvey, Commonwealth Minutemen.”
Adeline Tessa Wolf…The Girl who has essentially lost everything she’s cared about…is now scouting out the headquarters of the Infinite Empire…or at the very least, as much of it as she can scout out because of the barrier being in the way, she is currently hiding in the shadows of the city around it, utilizing her Signal Wispon’s Precision-Mode to get closer looks at the stuff inside of the barrier via it’s scope. The safety for it appears to be activated, likely so she doesn’t blow her cover, although she also has a radio near her, likely to report what she finds…she puts her Wispon down for a moment and pulls out a tape recorder and begins to record something.
Adeline: “…Adi’s Log, Operation Black Dusk is gonna fully commence in a few hours…which means I’m back on scouting duty, can’t say I don’t like it, though, it’s nice to have some peace and quiet after all…more soon to follow this entry.”
She pauses the recording and straps the tape recorder onto her waist for some reason. Before going back to using her wispon’s scope to scout out the areas last the barrier.
It’s obvious that if it were in the orbit of either version of Earth/Mobius in the subreddit’s timeline (Original and Whitespace) that it would get attacked by Team Infinite if they figured out its location.
So, I’m making it to where it was actively in another solar system just waiting for the right time (aka the prologue of Operation Black Dusk since it does still take time to go through a Faster-Than-Light thing)
If the mods allow it: It will make a return in the final battle to help out the folks not part of Team Infinite.
If the mods don’t allow it, then it’ll re-appear just after the battle is over, basically missing all the action.
((I legit could only find a version of Metropolis Zone from Sonic 2 that looked like an actual city from the Pre-Super Genesis Wave version of the place…so, just ignore Archie Sonic doing his dive and ignore the tornado’s presence.))
So…Adeline has chosen to return to her original home…or at-least, this timeline’s version of it. She hasn’t exactly been back to any version of “Old Metropolis” since her real Parents were killed when Doctor Ivo Robotnik first invaded Westside Island ((aka the events of Sonic 2)), While this place does bring back bad memories, it also brings back a lot of good memories as well.
Alongside that, Adeline has the “Prototype Signal Wispon” with her as well, likely to deal with any possible Infinite-Controlled Badniks that she ends up meeting. So, at-least she’s prepared for a fight if one occurs.
Adeline: “…It’s…been far too long since I was last here, hasn’t it?”
Do you attempt to interact with her?
Adeline is seen testing a Wispon of sorts out within Chemical Plant Zone, it appears to be some type of Wispon…Not too similar to Whisper’s Variable Wispon, but also not too similar to her original BURST Wispon. She appears to be testing out various modes of the Wispon, all of which appear to be related to fire. She switches from a flamethrower-based mode to a fireball-based mode and then to a flame-sword inspired mode…although, it does appear that she’s been utilizing this thing for a bit longer then seen so far, there might be more modes that we don’t know about as of current. There is also an empty compartment on it that seems like it could harness a power-source that isn’t just a wisp.
Adeline: “Alright…the modes of this thing work out pretty well…I guess I can officially call the Prototype of the ‘Signal Wispon’ a success then…”
Signal Wispon? Guess she named it after her wisp. Do you try and interact with her?
Your options are
Infinite Thorne Jackal (PhantasmAU)
PERMAFROST
Frost Titus Jackal
Adeline Tessa Wolf
and DIRECTIVE
…yes this means you can’t ask Nova anything, I’m sorry :(
((For some context, this is NOT the same base from Sonic Rivals, it was just the best image for a 3D Eggman base I could find that didn’t originate from Sonic Boom.))
Adeline appears to be working on something in this old base…but what exactly could it be? The fact that she is still crying won’t exactly help her out on this pet-project of hers…although it does appear that she’s putting one of her current emotions to extreme use when working on whatever she’s working on. Which…could either be helpful or destructive depending on what it even is that she’s working on. All that’s able to be made-out as of current is that it’s mechanical, although, she does have a red wisp next to her…maybe that’s related?
Adeline: “C-Come on…Come on…”
So…Spagonia! Quite a beautiful city, and Adeline is here as well! But…she doesn’t seem that good, emotionally-speaking at-least…
She’s just…wandering around, sobbing (( - for context as to why she’s sobbing: https://www.reddit.com/r/EggmanEmpireRP/s/kel40rz7vH - ))
She has to be sobbing for a reason, right? Maybe you could try to comfort her or something, there aren’t as many people around the streets of Spagonia at this time of day, so it could work out. Or, you could just ignore her, although I’m not sure what that would really accomplish with her…
((This Post is Interact-able to everybody in the subreddit, even those not participating in the infinite arc [unlike previous posts of mine related to the arc itself], and will have no disguise pre-requisites on the characters from Team Infinite…although, don’t expect her to initially react kindly to the presence of a Team Infinite member.))
