"Finally something other than manga to read."

"Please don't store human biological material near food stuff. It's highly unsanitary."

"Don't touch those, they're still cooling." It's the only warning given before the spatula swat is the next one. Yes, there are a couple dozen cookies cooling on a rack.

"Takara...what... what even is this?"

"Well, obviously, it's a golden retriever, duh," he says as the puppy let's out a loud bark, making him awww and reach down to pet the little guy.

"I can see that, all right, but... why did you get a dog?!"

"Do I have to spell this out for you? It's a golden retriever! I got him to retrieve gold! I did this for all of us."

There's a pause as Kohaku debates... seriously debates killing him for a moment. On one hand, a pet would be nice to have. They had one their whole lives before everything went to hell, but on the other hand, it's a lot of responsibility and time to train a dog, time that none of them had. She's about to tell him to take it back when his biggest supporter comes into the room, drawn in by the other two siblings arguing.

Shinju gasps at the sight of the puppy, immediately going over to pet it. "Takara, is this... what's his name?"

"I'm so glad you asked, Shinju, this is my new assistant, Kin. Kin, this is Shinju, my little sister." The puppy, Kin, let's out a bark making Shinju laugh and greet her new best friend while Kohaku sighs and just adds puppy chow to their grocery list, knowing she wasn't going to win this fight.

The unity purrs, its engines sleeping as it floats lazily into the night sky. At times, one could think that Lien-da's vessel was alive, following orders only she knew about.

They have approached a place the grandmaster both hoped and feared they'd ever reach.

Albion. The first bastion of the echidna race. Survivors or not, Lien-da knew, deep within her heart, that as many questions would be unearthed as would answers.

But she was not among those chosen to enter this sacred city. And so, she pondered how to even reach it, without a word, sat down on the beach and watching the waves strike nearby rocks.

In times like those, she almost understood why Glenndolyn enjoyed these long lonely treks so much. Almost.

Keep thinking, Lien-da. Surely an answer will come to you.

Jet Twimbly, head chef at the Six cafeteria, works frantically. A lot of agents are on their way home and they've hinted that the Big Snooze may be close to an end, which means...

They need to make the big adjustment from serving glucose bags and snacks to serving an international menu of delicious meals again!

Jet Twimbly is proud of working with the B Team. It's been a crazy month but it's been fun!

What started out as a quick run through the forest had suddenly taken a dangerous turn for Sonic. At the very corner of his vision he saw the glint and shine of glitchy red cubes. It stopped him dead in his tracks as his heart jumped into his throat, quills and fur on end.

"No... no you're seeing things," Sonic tried to assure himself before shaking his head, but the visions kept popping up.

"I'm still in the cage." There was so much sadness in his voice.

"NO! I'm not- don't-" Hands clasped the side of his head, shutting his eyes tight.

"I'm still in that damn cage, I never got out…" Star continued to mumble to himself repetitively as he opened his eyes again, but they were horribly distant.

Lost in his confusion he began wandering aimlessly, the hallucinations becoming stronger with every step. Even the trees that normally brought him such comfort began to distort and resemble the bars of a prison cell.

Then he froze. Staring at a phantom of his greatest fear. All the color and warmth drained from his face, dizziness washed over his mind... and then he fell.

"Do you think they'll let me start decorating for Halloween yet?"
