Honestly I'd think he'd find it hilarious that the Chaotix are potentially running themselves ragaded to find what big nefarious scheme we must be making and coming up empty because we're to busy improving our PR and dealing with at home issues like kicking out the Empire.
We've still hired a Mafia Boss to act against the Restoration, so they have something to dig for.

Unbreakable Like a Stone
Stone's father had been in the military. And his father before him. And his father before him. And so on and so forth.
It wasn't something Stone thought about often. By throwing his lot in with The Doctor, he had long since betrayed his father's ideals.
Stone had never regretted it. He still didn't.
As far as his father had known before his passing, he was still in the military, and their final conversation had been pleasant enough. He supposed that wasn't technically a lie, he was still technically an agent of GUN, even if his loyalties to Dr. Robotnik would always supercede anything GUN wished for him to do.
…His mother was still alive. Stone wouldn't change anything, but sometimes, he would think of her. Wonder if she was out there in this new world.
"Your name is Stone because you are tough, unbreakable, like a rock. Never forget that, my son."
Why was he thinking about all this anyways?
A little yawning reminded him why.
"Are you tired, Latte?" You asked fondly. Latte nodded, whining. You chuckled despite yourself as you picked him up and tucked him in your bed. He cooed before turning on his side and falling asleep.
You sighed as you looked over him.
You liked to consider yourself a competent man. You had to be to keep up with the Doctor, even if you would never be on his level. But you felt… out of your depth here. Could you really be the father this Chao needed?
You liked to think you were doing a decent job so far, but what if you weren't?
You sighed again and went on a walk. You needed to clear your head.

Many in the Eggman Empire were acquaintances at best. Sure, they were working together, and it's not like they never interacted at all, but there was only so much to talk about when so many had so little in common.
Three such individuals who didn't talk much were Dr. Starline, Conquering Storm and Isara Gunther.
One thing they did have in common? They were friends with one Agent Stone, and had noticed he seemed down lately.
After much debate, they decided to ask him what was wrong.
The trio eventually found him walking around the Egg City, handing out coffee to its citizens.
"Mr. Stone, can we talk?" You, Isara, inquired.
Stone looked up, and seemed momentarily surprised to see all three of you together, but hid it well soon enough.
"Of course, everyone. Always happy to help, especially you Young Miss Gunth-" He started.
"What has been wrong?" Conquering Storm interrupted. Stone blinked and Starline face palmed.
"What my blunt ally here means, Stone, is something has clearly been on your mind. Now, I do not claim us to be besties or anything ridiculous like that, but we have been through a decent amount together. It would be… inconvenient if this were to affect any missions." The Platypus explained.
"I would never allow such things to get in the way of The Doctor's plans. Do not fret." Stone assured. You frowned and sighed at the other two's lack of social grace.
"It's not just about that, Mr. Stone! We have been worried about you because we're your friends. These two just aren't good at expressing it." You explained.
Starline and Conquering Storm glared at you, but notably didn't correct you. Stone's expression softened as he rolled his shoulders.
"It's…nothing major. I just… I handled a lot of responsibility, back home. Back with my original Dr. Robotnik. But it didn't prepare me to take care of a child. I… I am scared. When my father died, I didn't hate him or anything, but … I didn't feel much either. We were never close. And I am afraid of having a similar relationship with Latte, someday. Maybe worse." He admitted, sitting down.
"That's preposterous. You have been taking wonderful care of that weak creature!" Conquering Storm scoffed. Starline nodded in agreement, folding his arms.
Stone smiled, clearly appreciative despite the bluntness, but didn't seem fully convinced. You sighed.
"...You know, Mr. Stone, I … My original father is dead. My adoptive father is dead. I loved both, very much. But they weren't perfect people. No one is. But you know what? They tried their best, and for the most part, they succeeded. You can't see the future, you don't know what will happen. But if you just keep trying, as you have, then I think it will all work out." You assured.
Stone looked up, and stared you in the eyes, as if searching for something. Pity? Falsehoods? You were not sure. Whatever it was, he seemed satisfied as he smiled, softly but more genuinely.
"...Thank you, everyone. This… this means a lot." He said sincerely.
"...You would do the same for us." Starline muttered, before the four of you fell into comfortable silence, people watching on a bench.
"...I am sorry about your fathers, Isara." Stone gave his condolences. If he noticed he had used your first name this time, he didn't seem to show it. You took his hand without thinking about it.
"It's ok, Stone. They'll always be in my heart. And … I think I have the closest to the next best thing."

I'm sure we can squeeze some info out if him before that, such as Vyse's wherabouts.

True but for Eggman that's too small potatoes for it to be the main thing there has to be something bigger, something grandiose they have to overcome like always and they need to find it.
But there isn't because we have other fish to fry nowadays.

- Nice try
Also it does mean know we cannot use Isara in public projects since in the Egg City, since now they have at least some eyes inside the Eggman Empire, meaning that know Honey Shop is at risk of being closed if she is spotted.

Hmmm, in light of this, getting tight with Merlina is more important then ever.
That, and playing nice with Restoration worked well for us. If we didn't, GUN was likely to stab us in the back when we least expect it.
What's important, is that they don't know WE know. We can use this.

Well they are only level one, so they are only getting basic and public stuff that does not make to they borders. So nothing actually important compared to some of our projects such as Ragnite Research or spying on the Empire.

Good to know this info; points that stick out to me
- Rotor developing lesser-STEEPLEs for all heroes is pretty cool and I wouldn't be opposed to getting that for ourselves
- Chaotix being in Egg City is a surprise but frankly doesn't matter that much; I don't care about them havin access to our public info
- the closer ties with GUN is annoying but managable
That was adorable; great job, Boohoo
Do they even have a legitimate reason to do that? The only reason why Stone's cafe was closed is the fact that he helped commit the theft (at an event that was doubtful anyway but was not closed automatically). However, they may
well make public the information that Honey works for Eggman, which will hinder her sales (Honey herself may either succumb to public pressure or try to change it, it all depends on the situation).
I was wondering a little bit where the info on them was. Glad to finally have it.
Nothing to concerning...though we might want to see if we can't get their reasearch on Moonstones.
These in particular are important.
We're going to want to do something about those shields, or just get around to properly upgrading our heroes equipment and do more tinkering.
...The infiltration is annoying though. We really need to shore up our defenses in that regard.
No worries we have it now.
Though shouldn't we have an idea of what their army and Hero units look like as well?
*Chuckles* It is funny. They must be so confused that we aren't doing anything.
...I wonder if we can find the Chaotix and use this to get some free jobs.
Good to see you Stone. Glad to see the others starting to form bonds and close ranks as well.
...Isara is starting to see Stone as a third father huh?
Hrm...that's a good point. Has this revealed any of our heroes @Kingster?

Ah, Stone, it's hard being a single father isn't it? But at least you have to only deal with one, we have we have at least three while being the singlest father out there. Hopefully Latte will be easier than ours.

I think Yahna perhaps? Aside from that i think no one new.
Got it. Any idea on what we should avoid doing to reveal more?
Also we should have an idea of what the Restorations forces look like now right?
...But yeah we really need to shore up our anti-infiltration measures. It has been happening way too much.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
i think we gave a list of their hero units?
For their forces, give us a bit to make a list for that then, but it's nothing big like you guys, their strong point is their hero units and possible allies to call for

Yeah the Calamity Ravens, the Chaotix and who knows what else we have in our territories.
I doubt people want a repeat of Whisper again.
Chaos Gamma and the group of survivors
Yes but you might want to add it to the dossier so we don't have to search through the thread.
Hmm...good to know.
Logic follows then that if we want to subsume them we should do it last after we've whittled their allies down, and army wise we have the advantage.
Still has the 'fighting the good guys' problem but it's good to know we likely have the advantage in a fight.
I'd say we probably have better or at least equal heroes to them after all, and more of them besides.
Definitely going to be a priority going forward, now that we have our industry up mostly. Maybe we can finally get those Eggdrones out.

Guess we finally get to build those Egg Drones, to hinder further attempts at deepening the infiltration on Restoration part, eh?
That, and we might as well give them White Arms weapons and Black Doom data. They get those through GUN if they will need them anyway, so why not get free rapport with Jewel while we still can?

We already gave them the Doom data.
On the topic of Egg Drones, think we should have Stone help with those? He is one of our best Logistic units (only under Sage but we will likely be using her for Brains or Trickery here) and he would probably be grateful to be given the chance to help with his Robotnik's tech.
Don't Chuck and Chris work for Restoration? I thought they recruited them a long time ago.
