Egg Memo: Egg Army
After observing the surprising resilience of the Egg Clan who managed to hold their own against my stolen badniks, I've started pondering the potential utility of organic forces within my empire. Initially, I dismissed organics as unpredictable, inefficient, and prone to irrational behavior. However, recent developments have led me to... reconsider this stance.
Cyberization, as it was explained, involves enhancing organic forces with cybernetic upgrades. These cybernetic troops, it seems, combine the adaptability and intuition of living beings with the precision and durability of machinery. According to Conquering Storm and Clove, these augmented troops outperformed the standard soldiers of their GUN. Intriguing to say the least.
This revelation has led me to reconsider the utility of organic forces while robots are superior to organic in every way they do have their limitations. Organic soldiers, for instance, could infiltrate areas inaccessible to my machines and operate independently of external control systems, rendering them impervious to threats like the Deadly Six electromagnetic abilities or hacking attempts by other parties.
Moreover there's no shortage of potential recruits. Plenty of individuals, from those with missing limbs to those born with defective bodies, would leap at the opportunity to be "improved."
They would flock to my banner in droves, desperate for a chance to be made whole or better than whole thus granting a steady supply of volunteers, my Egg Army could grow indefinitely.
Not to mention they would spread the glory of my genius to everybody they can hear.
Of course, such a project would require careful implementation. Integration with my existing forces must be seamless and loyalty assured. But the possibilities... oh, the possibilities are tantalizing.
I'll need to begin preliminary research into cyberization technology once time allows it, study the existence sample of cyberization in Cassia, Conquering Storm and the Egg Clan, and potential avenues to attract potential recruits without being interfered by the Restoration or GUN.
However, one aspect strikes me as peculiar. While cyberization appears to focus on combat efficiency, I've noted that purely cosmetic augmentations, like those sported by Conquering Storm and certain Egg Clan members are also widely accepted. These enhancements provide no discernible battlefield advantage. Why would my alternate self allow such frivolity?
Perhaps it was a ploy to foster loyalty or simply an indulgent eccentricity?
Whatever the reasoning, I find it... unnecessary.
Regardless if my multiversal counterpart can achieve this then surely, I can surpass it.
As promise this is a omake that I promise to release after the rewards.
So that raid could have interesting side effects, specially for the doctor. First and foremost, Games/IDW!Eggman for the first time deployed organic soldiers, in this case ninjas but semantics, to be deployed not only alongside his badniks but fight his stolen ones as well.
He has now data how organic forces can be deployed alongside his badniks and how good they are against them. He no longer can dismiss as one time thing of his enemies getting lucky since it was his own forces doing the deed, making his pride accept the results of what he seen and peharps ponder if they have a place in his army.
It certainly help the Egg Clan perform very well in Wave 1 and 2, they were hurt by the catterkillers revenge trait but outside of that they perform rather well.
The QMs did say that Eggman is now getting out of his comfort zone thanks to the Deadly Six so I think this could be a natural step for him to take.
Plus I love the concept of the Egg Army, unfortunate he lacks memories of this Post-SGW side so he would have to start from zero but luckily he has a ample stock of cyberizide troops around him so he just need to find out what make them
Plus maybe doing something with Starline bonus in Cybernetics as well.
This omake is a bit short but Eggman does lack much data to form a detail view and this is more a musing of his than anything else.
Also the tidbit about cosmetic cybernetics, this is Conquering Storm and Clove straight up omitting to his face the backdoor on their cybernetics to paralyze them. They sure as heck not telling him that, even Post-SGW!Thunderbolt, despite being a zealot was disturb by the backdoor, so he find it odd.
REgardless Cyberization is really one the greatest invention Post-SGW!Eggman ever created as a tool of oppression.
I mean how many people would give everything to have a arm to replace the on they lost, to be able to see, to be able to walk and so on and specially to escape the prejudice of not being "normal" after all people with disability sometimes are treated less than dirty despite being just as capable as anyone else.
Eggman weaponize the desperation of these people to get a loyal army, after all for these people to have the ability to be "normal" the price of servitude would not be too much, and he has the ability to paralyze they implants them if they ever decided to become too rebellious.
Dcotor Eggman will never run out of eager volunteers and he will never have to worry in being overthrow by his Egg Bosses.
Btw: QMs does this omake is too short to offer a rewward. I really want to unlock a action to create our own version of cyberization.
