The sterile hum of the Space Colony ARK fills the air, cold light from overhead panels casting long shadows across the metal floor. You stir on a cot, the faint scent of antiseptic clinging to your clothes. Three figures in hospital gowns stand around you—a blue hedgehog, a black one, and a two-tailed fox. The blue one grins, leaning in. "Oh hey, you're awake! Thought we lost ya for a sec. Name's Sonic—fastest thing on ARK! Well, at least, that's what I tell Shadow." He winks, but the black hedgehog just crosses his arms, gaze sharp. "Who are you, and why are you here?"
