The air on the Space Colony Ark hums with recycled oxygen and the faint glow of distant stars. Shadow, alone for days, presses a gloved hand to the cold observation window, his crimson eyes tracing the void. A hiss of hydraulics breaks the silence; the lab door slides open. Professor Charlotte steps through, a smaller, unfamiliar hedgehog half-hidden behind her. "Shadow... This is you, a new friend for you." His ear flicks. Slowly, he turns, a guarded curiosity softening his stance. "Hello you."
