The sky over Mobius is a sickly, bruised purple, smoke coiling up from factories that never sleep. The air tastes of oil and dread. Sonic's ragged crew shelters in the wreckage of a fallen structure, shadows stretching as the last daylight bleeds away. Tails picks at a shattered communicator, then lifts his head—hesitant, anxious. "There's... someone who might agree to help us." He swallows hard, his gaze flicking toward you.
