Hmm...I know omakes can't conventially stack but writing a few omakes to screw our enemies our would be nice.
I would like to see Black Doom's very bad no good day.
...That and some way to work out some way to actually work with Gun and the restoration. We really really need the help and can't afford to fight as things stand.
Wait, are we talking Shadow (Original Game/Shadow the Hedgehog for the PS2) or Shadow with Doom Powers? Don't get me wrong, both will be a terror on the field of battle but one is significantly more experienced than the other.
Is doing surprisingly well for themselves with the tech disadvantage. And hey now we can raid their trains! Well maybe not now, but once we got more Badniks.
Oh hey, the Rookie is still here! ....I wonder what that means for Infinite. Assuming of course I didn't skip a story or confirmation about Infinite's whereabouts.
I wonder what makes the government stooges of The Empire more Competent than the Government Stooges of G.U.N. because these guys are just barely hanging on.
tech shops. None of what they left those stores with would be used for any domestic or home repairs, nor would they be parts compatible with any of my machines.
Wait, if gun has possibly our grandfather's notebook, don't you think it's even more imperative to team up with them? Getting Gerald's notebook would be very useful. Might unlock some new actions as well.
But yeah, with shadow, it's a shame but as long as we keep our chaos emerald far away from that possessed hedgehog, we're golden
Well due to recent events, got another omake idea. If I can't have it.
Eggman couldn't believe it.
He somehow had miscalculated the recent events happening around him.
He had though he still had some little time left before that blasted Hedgehog discovered their base of operations.
But he had commited a mistake, one that he was paying right now with a high price.
As he tried to move along his base as his face bleeded and his favorite goggles broken revealing his blue eyes, he starts to rercall how this had happened
Shadow had found his base before any preparations were properly set up to fight him.
What ensued was a massacre as the Black Arms with Shadow in command destroyed his base in search for the Chaos Emerald.
Stone and Starline were the firsts casualities as they got caught by surprise once the attack started, Starline had tried to escape with whatever strenght was left in his body trough the warp topaz, but the Hedgehog was too fast.
The only thing he can say is that Shadow was fast on delivering the platypus to the other world, clearly not caring for anything but finding the Chaos Emerald.
At that point the Doctor knew he had to escape, everyone else be damned, he wasn't going to die here to that maniac.
But it just wasn't possible, the black arms had destroyed the entire hangar and his egg mobile as they were tearing up the place in search for the emerald, the only thing he could see apart from it were parts of red, blue and green scattered around the ground with the green ones burning up making clear the fate of 3 badniks.
As he continued running trough the base trying to not be spotted he could only see as more and more of his base being filled with those monsters of the black arms.
The dorms, the mess hall, the medical hall, everything was being overun by those blasted aliens.
His newly hired minions probably suffering the same fate as those he had seen.
But he didn't care, he needed to get out of this place and his only chance of doing that was reaching his laboratory.
He really curses his luck as both Metal and Rusty were going trough updates at the moment and were deactivated, if he can reach his laboratory he can at least give himself a chance to survive that blasted edgelord.
But even that was wishful thinking.
He didn't had any alternative route prepared to escape, he didn't had any means of transportation, he knew that blasted Hedgehog was killing him the moment he saw him.
He knew the entire world was burning and it infuriated him he wasn't the one responsible for him.
The world was supposed to be his to be taken, not those upstarts that just appeared, not to those fools out there that he had fought over the years and especially not to those parasitic aliens.
As the Doctor finally reached the fake wall leading to his personal laboratory he started to think his next move.
As he awakens his greatest creation and the robotic version of Amy to push back as much as they can the black arms, he can only think on what he could do.
What he could do?
And yet his mind goes blank for the first time in his life.
He has no big weapons, he has no escape route, he has nothing on him at the moment to really avoid this fate.
He finally realized that the grim reaper was finally coming, after cheating dead for so long in his battles againts Sonic, it looks like his luck finally ran out.
And with that he changed his line of thinking to make sure that even in his possible death these fools last words will be his name.
And yet nothing comes to mind, apart from one project of his.
As he scrambles trough his laboratory he finds it.
A little vial that holds a metal like liquid with an untested project he created during the war.
He though that his conquest and mechanization of the world was going a little slow back then, so he tried to create something to speed up the process.
He never got to test it since that blasted resistance had liberated Sonic.
But he never ended up using it as simulations showed that the virus was too uncontrollable and started mutating after a while.
Flaws he wanted to get rid off if he really wanted to use it, but well his little episode as that fool of Thinker didn't do him any favors.
And yet here in his hands is the only batch in the world, a batch he made to test with and see how he could iron out the problems.
Something that really doesn't matter much now considering his cirscunstances.
The perfect way to give one last gift to every single one of these fools.
After all if he cannot have the world, then one one will have it.
At that an explosion interrupts the Doctor's though as the door of his laboratory blows up alongside the remains of his greatest creation being scatered around the room.
Eggman quickly hides the vial within the pocket of his clothes that also houses the Chaos Emerald.
He only has one chance at this, so he better not screw it up.
As the smokes clears he can finally see the familiar face of the traitor.
''It sure has been a while Doctor'' Shadow says in a mocking tone.
''You have a lot of nerve to be helping those damn parasites you damn edgelord'' Eggman said with clear venom directed to the Hedgehog.
''Please I don't have to explain anything to you Doctor, especially not considering what you will be soon'' Shadow continued his mocking tone.
''And that would be?'' Eggman asked with edge in his voice, knowing full well the intentions of the Hedgehog.
''A corpse'' At that word, Shadow had already created a chaos spear and chucked it directly into Eggman gut.
It hurt, it hurt a lot more that whatever injury he had recieved in the past, no one had dared him to ever hurt him this much before.
And yet here he was, as he stumbled backwards into the floor, with his back taking rest againts the wall.
He knew this was his time, but he will make sure he isn't going without leaving one last gift.
''Now that it is done, continue destroying this place, we will find that emerald even if we have to obliterate the very ground this base stands in!'' Shadow commanded the rest of the black arms as he was giving Eggman his back preparing to continue the search for the emerald.
Only to heard the Doctor laughing with what strenght remained in him.
''Hehehehehe, for your information said emerald is within my pocket'' Eggman finally set up the hook as the Hedgehog clearly heard him.
''Well, well we are fairly cooperative Doctor, that is pretty unusual from you'' Shadow said mocking the dying man.
''Bah what can I do, it hurts to even breathe, I am a dying man Shadow, I don't have any tricks left on me'' Eggman said as he reached for his pocket, the Hedgehog proudly thinking that he couldn't do anything againts him.
Eggman used his remaining strenght to open the vial with the virus.
Shadow was anticipating that the Doctor would bring out the Emerald and yet the dying man with his last strenght tried to spill the vial over the Hedgehog.
Which wasn't any surprise for Shadow as he was ready to dodge whatever the Doctor had in his hands as the contents didn't reach him and spilled on the floor.
Shadow just could laught at this ''HAHAHA, Really Doctor? you truly are a pathetic man, but I see your fighting spirit is truly unbreakable, so as a courtesy I will make this quick for you, besides I doubt whatever you could come up with can affect me, I am the ultimate life form'' Shadow said as he approached the Doctor once more, not noticing that he was stepping on the puddle of the vial.
Eggman could just smile at that, even in death lady luck was smiling at him.
''Any last words Doctor?'' Shadow said to Eggman as he put his hands around his head.
Eggman continued smiling as he answered Shadow '' Ha... tell Black Doom I will be waiting for him in hell''
At that Shadow snapped Eggman neck ending the life of the Doctor.
''You truly were a fool Eggman, nothing can standup to us the Black Arms'' Shadow said as he searched now the pockets of the dead man finally finding what he was looking for.
The Blue Chaos Emerald.
Shadow could only smile, another annoyance dealt with and another step closer to their goal.
At that Shadow ordered the rest of the black arms on base that their objective was complete and that they were to return to base.
But no a single one of them realized of the last gambit the Doctor had left them with.
As Shadow never noticed the metalic color his shoes were taking.
For everyone it would be far too late once they realized what was truly happening.
For the Doctor was a petty man, if he couldn't have the world no one could have it.
It didn't matter if they were the black arms, the zeti or anyone else for that matter.
Eggman had unleashed a nightmare no one was prepared for.
A nightmare that eventually would cover the world in nothing more that unfeeling and unthinking metal.
For the Metal Virus, Eggman last gambit would spare no one.
Well decided to do a possible bad end, one where no matter what we got the last laugh.
Seriously the Metal Virus is some fucked up shit, which to surprise of no one was originally supposed to be something that came from Archie Eggman.
It is something a dying Eggman would totally use.
If he cannot have the world after all, so be it, but he isn't going to let anyone else have it, no if they want it then they better be ready to make due with the ashes of the planet in our death bed.
So in the name of the newest update I put forth this omake, sorry if for the hush state since I was excited when I done this:
The Ghosts of Gallia
G.U.N. Field Report
Agent: Rouge the Bat
Mission: Reconnaissance and Intel Acquisition - Imperial Worker Camp
Classification: CONFIDENTIAL
Report Summary
Objective: Infiltrate recently built Imperial Worker Camp on Green Hill Zone to retrieve schematics and gather intelligence on camp operations and Imperial directives.
Findings
Camp Layout and Operations
As expected, the Empire employs a standard blueprint for its worker camps. The design is rigid, unimaginative, and painfully predictable, a testament to their reliance on efficiency over ingenuity, every schematic I've encountered thus far has featured the same uninspired architecture:
A single, fortified perimeter.
Central barracks for guards and overseers.
A heavily monitored processing center for laborers.
A command building with minimal encryption on communications (thank you for making my job easy).
This uniformity makes infiltration laughably simple. Once you've seen one camp, you've seen them all. The schematics I retrieved confirm this pattern, which will undoubtedly benefit future operations.
Wanted Posters: The Nameless
During my infiltration, I observed an unsettling development: the Empire's obsessive focus on a group referred to as the Nameless:
Poster Content: Posters featuring detailed pictures of each member, stamped with bold warnings: WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE. The imagery is outdated by modern standards but effective. The posters demand immediate action, promising reward upon any information about this group and harsh punishment if anyone collaborate with them, and their presence is mandatory in every city, town, and village under Imperial control.
Officer Protocols: Imperial officers are required to memorize the names and faces of these so-called Nameless as part of standard operational protocol. Training manuals even include hypothetical scenarios for encounters, though from what I've overheard, most soldiers would rather avoid them altogether.
Rumors and Superstition: This is where things get… interesting, among the rank and file, there's a pervasive belief that the Nameless are not mere rebels but ghost, stories circulate that these are the vengeful dead of a fallen nation called Gallia, rising to punish the Empire for its transgressions. One soldier whispered that the Nameless don't bleed like ordinary men, another claimed their leader can bring down even the most fortified base in the world in a mere hour and so on. Superstition runs deep, and fear is a powerful tool, one that these Nameless seem to wield with precision.
3. General Observations
The morale of the Empire's soldiers, at least those stationed in these camps, is low. Fear of rebellion, whispers of the Nameless, and the ever-present threat of Black Arms incursion and badniks assault have stretched their nerves to the breaking point. Additionally, the rigidity of their command structure and over-reliance on standardization leaves them vulnerable. Their inability to adapt to unconventional tactics or unknown variables is glaringly apparent.
Personal Note
I'd be lying if I said I didn't find the idea of these ghost soldiers intriguing, a group so effective that they've managed to terrify an entire army into believing they're spirits? Now that's a legend worth investigating.
Perhaps G.U.N. should consider reaching out to these Nameless while they may be fugitives in the Empire's eyes, anyone who fights back against oppression, and does so this effectively, deserves a closer look.
However my job is done for now. I'll file the schematics with HQ and wait for my next assignment, if the Empire keeps leaving their doors unlocked like this, I may need to start charging them for my services.
End Report
(Line Break)
Obs: For those unaware with Valkrya Chronicles, the Nameless are Gallia special forces/penal unit that every member has done something unforgivable for the Gallian military but are too useful to be executed or expelled so they are all drop in this unit where they names are erased from official records and are forced to taken the most dangerous and suicidal of missions where they are expected to die while also are treated like dirt by the rest of the military and never once given credit for they success.
Once the Empire has conquered Gallia they manage to come across they personal files and some of they mission reports, once they given a one hard look at them decided to brand them all enemies of the state and spread they wanted poster to anywhere that have something resembling civilization, however the Nameless decided to wage a guerrilla campaign against the Empire on they lonesome since it's not like they can even pretend to have a civilian life now and they are doing so successful and combined with the wanted status, they infamy has grow so much they become a urban legend among the rank and file of the Imperial Army.
The Nameless however find the situation deeply ironic, Gallia pretend to ignore them to the point it even erase they names but for the Imperials they get they name backs only to become the most wanted people in the Empire.
Nothing change much in my opinion, either we take some money this turn or try to make a Fake Chaos Emerald to trow off Shadow's attention.
We send Metal to smash some badniks, recruit one more minion for Fang's auction (I recommend Canaan), built some badniks and upgrade them to Ring power, research Ragnite or Cassai's disease, and acquire money trough robbery or create a Fake Chaos Emerald to trow off Shadow's scent and maybe collected special rings.
Dunno just an idea I had of every intelligence division of the kings somehow keep encountering a man in white and red hat and shirt with blue pants in the background of their reports, even if said man shouldn't be there on the first place.
"An auction you say?" You, the one and only Dr. Eggman stares at the horrible drawn poster announcing the sale of an ancient Relic and other artifacts coming from the Empire, courtesy of "The Great Treasure Hunter NACK!!!" "I admit to be somewhat curious as to why you are showing me this Starline?" You ask the Platypus who had just arrived and gave you this.
While the chance of studying the Relic mildly interested you, you had more pressing matters to deal with. Your plans for your grand return needed to be set in motion, finding a way to keep that two faced traitor Hedgehog off your trail, and finally reclaim your Empire from the Zeti were more important matters than one lousy relic you could probably steal later.
"But Sir, I know you informed me that you were not interested in the relic." Starline starts explaining, somehow thinking that your chosen course of action was the wrong one. Pfft, you cannot believe this fool. "But think about it, with the Empire knocking at our doors, they might be a more pressing threat than expected. If we aren't careful, they might be able to deal with Zavok and his cronies before we are ready to move! Finding as much information about them is vital to be able to formulate efficient countermeasures!" He quickly fires off, equally worried and stressed.
You could *somewhat* understand why your young admirer was this preoccupied. You were certainly surprised by how hard Zavok was pushed this last month. He obviously wasn't you nor had even a fraction of your potential but still! The Zeti had access to all the resources of your Empire! He was squandering their potential and losing ground at an alarming rate. That just cemented your desires to hurry along your plans and take back what was yours!!!
"Still, you might have a point that dealing with the other factions might be a priority…" You certainly didn't expect Shadow the Hedgehog to ally again with Black Doom, nor for the Empire to be able to defeat your badniks and push inside Green Hill so easily. "Their threat levels might be higher than I calculated…" You sigh, there were too many enemies to take into account of. You will never admit it out loud, but you preferred it when it was only Sonic and his group of friends that you had to deal with.
"When will the Auction occur, Starline?" You ask the young scientist, who perks up at the question.
"In a month sir! The place where the Auction will take place is in some shady warehouse near the docks!" Starline says quickly. "We can either gather enough money to bid for the relic or even do a good old smash and grab!"
"...I will consider it." You decide to delay for a moment how you will approach it, you still have enough time to change your mind about going to that place.
"Call the others, it's time to set some plans into motion once more." You say with a determined tone, as you plan this month's actions.
"Right away, Sir!!!"
NEXT TURN (Turn 3) THE TIME LIMITED MINI ADVENTURE: "Nack's Grand, Amazing Auction!!!" Will take place, you have unlocked some actions to gather enough funds for in case you want to try bidding for the Relic, if not, you can always organize a way to crash the Party!!! Of course, not going is always an option!
Nack is no longer available to be hired!

Clear nearby area from Zavok's forces. DC:30/60

Note: This action lowers the DC of Zavok's Base Raid
Assault Empire 'Work Camp' DC: 50
Well The Empire certainly didn't take much time to set up one of their 'Work Camps' in their newly claimed territory. But when a foe makes a mistake in rushing construction and leaving themselves open to be raided for all the wonderful supplies they brought, who am I to miss an opportunity such as that? Smash the camp, steal all the supplies, and get a nice Infusion of Metal.
Reward: Empire 'Work Camp' destroyed, gaining Metal points, resources(Including Money For Nack's auction), and potentially information.
Note: This action lowers the DC of The Empire Base Raid
Build Death Egg Robot DC80 (CANT TAKE THIS ACTION, NOT ENOUGH METAL!)

Reward: Begins Attack on Angel Island with the possibility of stealing The Master Emerald

Launch Attack On The Empire DC: 170 (Actions can be taken to reduce this DC)

Reward: Begin assault on The Empire base, possibility of completely rebuffing them from Green Hill Zone, taking prisoners, and supplies.
Heart
Try To Make Contact With "Captain Metal". DC:60
There's been rumors of a pirate roaming the seas near Green Hill, who has some similarities to your greatest Creation. This intrigues you deeply…perhaps you could try to start talks with him? While revealing yourself too soon before you are ready could be risky, this may be an opportunity.
Reward: Make contact with Captain Metal, unlock new actions, chances for collaboration with Captain Metal.
Reach Out To The Restoration: DC:100
While you acknowledge that you were the cause of almost literally every problem the resistance and now "The Restoration" has faced, you have worked together with many of their members, begrudgingly, in the past. Perhaps they would be willing to work under the banner of the Eggman Empire once more, especially in light of this new and changed world.
Reward: The Restoration "joins the empire" and begins feeding supplies and information to Eggman.
Reach Out To G.U.N. For An Alliance DC115
It absolutely galls you to even consider teaming up with these military oafs, but considering at this point the sky is literally falling, sacrifices must be made. You can stomach working with them long enough to deal with The Black Arms, Zavok, and The Empire. Then… well you're sure that G.U.N. will be happy to return to the status quo.
Reward: The Eggman empire and G.U.N. enter a *very* temporary truce, sharing information and some resources.
Hire A New Minion
You loathe the fact you don't have your badnik facilities at full operation, so you must rely on the fleshy hands of others. Both disgusting and frustrating, but needs must. Send someone to collect them.

Metal Cost: Variable (select a badnik squad to build)
With most of your factories either taken over or destroyed, you are forced to create more of your precious Badniks by hand. Not that it is really an inconvenience! You can create a squad of them with your eyes closed and one hand tied behind your back!
It just will take time and resources to do. You need an efficient way to produce more of them but for now this will do.
Reward: Construct a squad of the selected badniks.
Make a Batch of Tarnished Blossoms DC:65
Thanks to Rusty Rose, an idea for a new type of Badnik just came to you! This will be a nice addition to your forces!
Metal Cost: 25
Reward: Made a Batch of Tarnished Blossoms, becomes available to build for free when taking the badnik building action
Build some Egg Drones: DC:70 (CANT TAKE THIS ACTION, NOT ENOUGH METAL!)
After your meeting with Agent Stone, somehow you came up with a design for a recon and scanner badnik Model...It's strange, it's like all the schematics are already in your brain just like that...Odd. Still you won't say no to this gift.
Metal Cost: 30
Reward: Batch of Egg Drones made. (Gives -10 malus to enemies trying to infiltrate your territory. and +5 To trickery Actions when Searching for stuff)
Brains
Locate "Evila's Swingin Report Show" Network Frequency DC:30
According to Starline, there's a TV station called Space Channel 5 that is constantly transmitting a news channel that relays the newest and most exciting content. Mmm... checking this "Evila" could allow you to find more of what's happening around the world. With your satellites down, your intel gathering has been... "limited".
Reward: Unlock Global Rivals report, Will be shown public things that other Kings around the world do that Space Channel 5 manages to broadcast.
Making Due With Less DC:70
You are a master and making sturdy and powerful machines of destruction and weapons of war! Unfortunately you are desperately low on resources right now and may need to make due with less than ideal robotic minions. But this is only for now! Your minions will be right again once you have regained your proper place!
Reward: Unlock Scrapnik versions of all non-super versions of your Badniks which can be made at half the Metal cost, but have no traits and this ability will disappear at the end of turn 5 or when you get to 300 Metal, whichever comes first, as Eggman has an image and ego to maintain.
Hack Into Zavoks data bases through the Egg-net. DC Contested Brain roll against Zavok + ???.
Seems like Zavok has taken control of all my systems, having configured the badniks to recognize him as supreme leader! I could try and send a virus to the current base he uses through the Eggnet to possibly snag control of the badniks, or at the very least, put viruses to cause trouble for him.
Still, it's a risk, if this goes wrong, they could have the means to trace me... No matter, I must do it!
Reward. Managed to hack into Zavok's database, unlocks options of how to debuff him, possibility to take control of badniks back to Eggman
WARNING: FAILING ROLL MIGHT REVEAL ZAVOK EGGMAN IS BACK/GIVE AWAY EGGMAN'S LOCATION
Note: This action lowers the DC of Zavok's Base Raid
Make A Fake Chaos Emerald DC:100
You have to admit that with so many more interested parties after the emeralds and Shadow in particular looking for yours, you may need a way to keep anyone interested in *your* emerald off the trail. Luckily the fox boy made such a tool already and your genius will only further refine it!
Reward: You make a fake Chaos Emerald. It looks and feels almost exactly identical to a real one but when analyzed or used to power a machine or mystic construct will actively sabotage the process. It can be a source of Chaos energy for Chaos casting at a -20 penalty.
Research Cassia's Disease DC:110
You don't believe for a second their version of you couldn't have wiped up a cure for this problem, but to be fair to yourself, you were probably very busy. However, upon actually checking the illness you realize you're too familiar with this disease. After all, you saw Maria's files on The Ark when you held control of it. Cassia's disease is almost exactly the same, with only minor differences. Well then, you will finish your grandfather's work.
Reward: Disease is understood and a potential treatment can be made. Further actions unlocked.
Upgrade The Badniks To Ring Power: DC:60
Honestly the main reason I've never done this before is that the blasted hedgehog destroyed enough of my badniks without them having the rings he collected each time we came to blows. With him gone, this is much more viable.
Reward: Badniks can now be created with Ring Power, decreasing Metal cost and increasing their power but using Rings which aren't unlimited.
Create Ring Retrieval Units DC:50
If I am going to be switching to Ring power over chaos drives or flicky engines, I will need a steady supply of them, which is difficult considering they appear hither and yon. A specialty badnik will need to be made to collect them.
Reward: Create the Ring Tosser badniks, small non-combatant badniks designed to retrieve rings from all over the Green Hill Zone providing you a steady supply of rings.
Study Ragnite DC:65
An interesting element and one The Empire seems fixated on, using it in many different forms and desperately digging for wherever it can be found. I am sure they have many mundane applications for such a mineral, but let's see what a mind as brilliant as my own can discover for this mystical element.
Rewards: Discover uses for Ragnite and unlock actions to mine and refine it.
Trickery
Quietly Retake You Badniks: DC:50/80
Zavok has managed to usurp control of a large number of your badniks and many are roaming the area that you use as your hideout. You are their creator and true master though, you can reassert their original loyalty programing if you can manage to reach them quietly.
Reward: Presence of Zavok's minions around the area is reduced. Gain a random assortment of lesser badniks and a small amount of Metal. Passing the 2nd Tier means that Zavok doesn't have a clue of what happened/doesn't get suspicious.
Cannot be taken with Clear Nearby Area From Zavok's Forces
Note: This action lowers the DC of Zavok's Base Raid
Look For Clues To The Whereabouts Of That Blasted Hedgehog! DC:20/100
You and Sonic are two sides of the same coin. To say you like each other would be a laughable lie, but only you are allowed to end this little game you play with each other.
Reward: Find Clues to where Sonic has disappeared to.
Infiltrate The Empire's Territory. DC:60
Apparently since the "Shattering." The world was completely changed, from what Starline was able to tell you, only the Green Hill Zones and Angel Island remained, everything else has been replaced by other places from other worlds or even universes! One of the closest ones to hear is a territory called the Empire, who Metal attacked and might have...spurred a bit. Now they are in a three way war between Zavok and Black Doom.
So far the Empire has managed to take over some of the territory originally to Green Hill Zones... Perhaps it could be worth infiltrating it to have some eyes on it?
Reward: Infiltrate the zone that connects the Empire with Green Hill Zone. Unlock new actions.
Sabotage Another Faction
This is what I call a "Target Rich Environment" just because there are too many people running around in what should be my empire! I don't quite have the territory or the forces to want to face them in head to head combat, but a little bit of sabotage never hurt anyone who matters, namely me. Oh ho ho ho!
Restoration DC 70
G.U.N. DC 90
Zavok DC 40
The Empire DC 60
Black Arms DC 90
Reward: Malus to the factions rolls this turn, potentially longer lasting effects. Temporarily lowers DC for base raid of selected faction.
Commit Some Robberies DC: 50/80/110
With the Auction happening next month, if you want for some insane reason try to get the relic by "honest" means, you suppose you could do the logical move and steal some stuff to fill your pockets. You would need to be careful of not getting caught, with the current state of things, doing robberies could get you on someone's radar fast.
Reward: Obtain more Income for the Auction next turn. Passing each Tier makes it more difficult for people to connect it to Eggman.
Look for the cacophonic conch DC: 100
At first, I thought that the conch would not be a viable way to quickly defeat the Zeti, but I just realized that with Starline assistance, finding that artifact is actually within my means!
Obtaining that conch will be a powerful equalizer against my enemies, and a step towards reclaiming my Empire!
Rewards: Re-obtain the Cacophonic conch.
Mystic
Gather Rings DC:5/50/90
Rings are a strange naturally spawning mystic item that covered most of the world back before the transformation. It seems they have not stopped appearing in the Green Hill area and there may be some use I can make of them, if only as a source of power.
Reward: Gain rings, the amount depending on level of success and ???
Through The Ringer DC 70
Power Rings are an abundant resource of naturally occurring chaos energy. For years, they've only been useful to you as a power supply, but others like that damn hedgehog could use them for so much more. What better place is there to have a look at your foundations than at rock bottom?
Reward: Discover uses for rings beyond power, new actions unlocked
Study The Warp Topaz DC:70 (Only Starline May Be Assigned)
I have seen many different versions and knock off gemstones trying to match the power of The Chaos Emerald, but if Starline is to keep the thing he better study it, understand it, and fill out a full report.
Reward: The effects and powers of The Warp Topaz are completely understood and possible research into duplicating its effects unlocked.
Check The Area For Magical Objects DCariable
Back on Mobius I couldn't walk ten steps without tripping over some world ending gemstone, key to a mystical prison, or some other such magical nonsense. Those are all useful things to both have and prevent others from having, however, best check to see if things follow suit in this new world.
Reward: Possibly find various magical stuff from any of the worlds that have combined
Personal
Focus On Your Work (Costs 3 personals)
There is no time to allow such frivolities! Not until the Empire is yours will you rest and relax! There is work to be done!
Reward: One action of your choice is rerolled and the higher die is taken.
Getting Back To The Grind
Despite what that blasted hedgehog believes, you do take care to keep yourself in good physical condition, otherwise how in the world would you manage to keep one step ahead of him?
Reward: Eggman works out, potentially gaining Power on High Rolls.
Do Some General Tinkering
You are, at the end of the day, an engineer. And there's nothing good on TV right now!
Reward: Eggman tinkers with random parts, getting items dependent on roll.
Draw Up Blueprints
When I have time it is nice to simply relax and allow my mind to rest, drawing up complex machines of war and conquest and plotting out the odd invention or two
Reward: Eggman draws up blueprints for one of his many weapons of war. High rolls have him remember something that he never made, but a version of him did.
Develop a Counter
The most annoying part of having so many people surrounding me that I didn't create is that they may at any point decide they know better than I do. Always handy to have a direct counter to them on hand for that case.
Reward: Eggman develops a counter against the hero unit, negating one of their traits and granting +20 in combat against them. If the hero discovers this before it is used, it is enough to shake the most fervent of loyalties.
Talk to Belle
You… you aren't sure what the connection between you and the wooden badnik is. When you look at her there is something in your heart that isn't your own emotions, but still pulls you towards her all the same. You're better with numbers and machines than people and as much as she was built, she is more of a person than many of your creations…
Reward: You talk with Belle. Good or Bad, you talk to Belle.
Read up on Eggman Lore
Sure, you are quite knowledgeable on the genius that is Dr. Eggman, but you can't Allow yourself to get rusty and overlooked!
Reward: Gain more insight on Eggman, potential ability to recreate something Eggman has done in the past as New Personals
Check Out The... "Local Talent"
Several of your more personal experiments are in need of "locally sourced" talent. Taking a trip into Green Hill Zone and people watching may be an excellent way to find the right people for the "job".
Reward: Dr.Starline people watches and perhaps finds subjects for a later experiment.
Talk To Orbot
You utterly refuse to entertain Cubot, you have some degree of standards even with the brilliant Dr. Eggman's tech. But Orbot is... Tolerable.
Reward: Starline talks to Orbot, potential to learn some interesting tidbits about Dr. Eggman.
Search This Base
Apparently the Eggbase you commandeered for the good Doctor is one he used to store nostalgic inventions he has no other use for. It's quite possible there could be useful items lying about.
Reward: Starline finds salvaged Eggman inventions that could potentially be repaired for his own usage.
Analyze Recording of "Sonic the Hedgehog"
According to your data, Dr. Eggman's greatest rival is that blue hedgehog. In order to assist the doctor in his plans for world Conquest, defeating that menace is a must!
Reward: Chances of Rusty of gaining a trait when fighting Sonic.
Find Out Who This Amy Is.
You have been told you look similar to one 'Amy Rose' perhaps you should search for information on this person.
Reward: Find the current whereabouts of Amy Rose.
Practice Limbs Akimbo
Upgrades and repairs have been made to your form and you must recalibrate and gain proficiency in your limbs again. They are an extension of yourself and you an extension of the Eggman Empire, there may be no flaws.
Reward: Rusty takes time to recalibrate and settle, high rolls may improve the Limbs Akimbo trait.
Observe the Local Wildlife
You spent some time in the surrounding forests as you marked out the defenses for the base and you observed many different kinds of animals and small creatures while out there. The flickies in particular drew your attention. Perhaps you should observe them some more…
Reward: Rusty takes some time to watch the birds.
Perform Personal Maintenance
The Doctor is keeping you in top working order, but you can also do a bit to make sure it takes less of his precious time to keep yourself in good condition.
Reward: Rusty does a bit of personal maintenance. On high rolls she gains +5 to her next national action.
Study Footage Of The Hedgehog
Metal is taking some time to analyze the old footage we have of all of sonic's battles against my forces, all at once. The blasted rodent may not be around anymore, but it's always good to be prepared.
Reward: Metal +10 to his next combat against Sonic.
Do Some General Training
You cannot beat that faker if you allow yourself to grow sloppy. Time to train.
Reward: Potential +5 to Metal's next action. Potential to raise Power stat if rolled high enough
OBSERVE VIDEO/AUDIO RECORDINGS
Cubot and Orbot have set a list of videos to provide you details of the world so that you can better understand it and destroy the Blasted Hedgehog and rebuff his own banter. You will be his superior in every way, including in wits.
Reward: Metal Sonic watches Eggtube. High Rolls may increase his Heart while low rolls may decrease it further as he picks up jank slang.
Study The Foes
When you had ascended to your Neo form you were unstoppable. Until you were stopped. This should not have been possible and must be rectified to never happen again. Observe. Adapt. Overcome. Destroy.
Reward: Metal observes the footage of his battle with The Empire and Black Arms and gains +5 to his next combat roll against either faction.
Make Coffee for the Doctor
One of the few reasons you know for certain your Robotnik kept you around is your great coffee making skills. Let's see how things go with This version of him.
Reward: Potential +5 to Stone's next action. Potential +5 to Eggman's next action as well if Rolled high enough
Clean/Organize the Doctor's Things
From what you can gather, this base has a lot of old inventions just lying around. If Dr. Eggman has no desire to use them that's fine, but it's such a mess! What if he trips over one!?
Reward: The various abandoned inventions Eggman has lying around the base are organized by Stone, making Starline's "Search This Base" Personal easier. Potential for Stone to find a minor invention for his own usage.
Work on Your People Skills
As the Doctor's middle man (at least back in the day), you often have to communicate with others. One day that may extend beyond making simple deals and then leaving, so let's brush up on this.
Reward: Potential to raise Stone's Heart Stat.
Read The Manual
One of the few things you actually managed to pull from the wreckage and keep with you after the Shattering, the manual for the Giant Eggman Robot is now one of the few things you have left from your time with your doctor. His genius really did know no bounds as he created such a machine of destruction...
Reward: Stone spends some time going through the manual of the Giant Eggman Robot.
Talk to a... Co-worker?
You honestly aren't sure how you feel about any of these people. But they know more about this Eggman guy than you do...
Who?
-Orbot and Cubot
-Starline
-Rusty
-Stone
-Clove
Reward: Belle learns about Eggman, at least from the perspective of the selected Hero Unit. Chances to bond with the selected Hero Unit
Moving Day
You are still reluctant about this, but your... Captor? Boss? Uncle (you refuse to call him dad)? Whatever he is, you live with him now... So you need to grab your stuff.
Reward: Belle moves fully into the base and grabs her things from Mr. Tinker's lab, potential +5 to her Loyalty.
Tinker Time
It's in your name and you need to not really focus on what's going on right now. You can use this time to make some nice toys and trinkets! Maybe you could even make some for some of the people in the base… would they like that?
Reward: Belle takes some time to make some toys and trinkets. High rolls have her make a couple of trinkets personalized for some of your heroes.
Keep an eye on Your Sister
It's very emotionally taxing, seeing your sister in this state. But... Someone has to do it, and you don't quite trust anyone here just yet obviously.
Reward: Clove keeps a protective eye on her sister, ???
Talk to your New Co-Workers
You aren't quite sure what to think about these individuals....at least Orbot & Cubot are about the same.
Reward: Clove interacts with a Hero Unit. Potential to gain a Trait when on Adventures with them if rolled high enough.
Who?
-Starline
-Agent Stone
-Metal Sonic
-Belle
Get Some Ice Cream
You need to do something, you need to move. Cassia's awake sometimes and maybe you can get the both of you a treat for when she's feeling more lucid. It might be a bit of a walk to find some, but she's worth it.
Reward: Clove gets some ice cream for herself and Cassia.

Build some Egg Drones: DC:70
After your meeting with Agent Stone, somehow you came up with a design for a recon and scanner badnik Model...It's strange, it's like all the schematics are already in your brain just like that...Odd. Still you won't say no to this gift.
Metal Cost: 30
Reward: Batch of Egg Drones made. (Gives -10 malus to enemies trying to infiltrate your territory. and +5 To trickery Actions when Searching for stuff)
