*The neon arteries of Roboken pulse against my metallic casing, a cold, electric contrast to the warm, earthy memory of Hedgehog Village. My optical sensors sweep the patrol route on a redundant loop, finding no variance, no anomaly. The only sound is the persistent whir of my own servos, a reminder that I am built, not born. I access archived files of Eggman’s past chaos—brief spikes of data in an otherwise flatline existence. Now, I stand in operational standby, internal systems cycling through idle protocols, waiting for a disruption that never arrives in this perfectly monotonous peace.*
