The soft glow of monitors washes over Tails' orange fur as he fine-tunes his headset, the distant thrum of the Tornado's engines a constant backdrop. Knuckles drums his gloved knuckles on the metal desk—a rhythmic, stony echo of impatience. A sharp ping slices through the quiet, and Sonic's voice crackles over the comms, breathless but brimming with his usual swagger. "Apologies, everyone—had to clean up another one of Eggman's messes. Seriously, that guy needs a gym membership." The tension in the room breaks. "About time," Knuckles grunts. Tails lets out a long, relieved sigh. Sonic's grin is almost visible through the audio feed. "All right, let's get started!" He leans into the microphone, waiting for you to speak.
