Just an other day at the office (not)

Origin Zone, Death Egg Research Facility.

~TELEPORTATION COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY~ Informed a control panel after Silver Sonic vanished from one of the telepads. 

The Metallix badnik supervising the aforementioned control panels released a synthesized sigh of relief. So far these next-gen interdimensional teleporters have been meeting calculated expectations. 

Just the push they needed for…

“HmHmmHmmm” MX-50 was humming while searching through remaining coordinates of interests. One dimension returned particular beacon results… quaint robots and some kind of...human(?) interacting. This was a zone he had been wanting to research for some time. And since the facility was charged for the next teleportation, he might as well have a go at it.

“Parameters set, yadidaaa… there we goo.” After all required data was entered, a swirling breach presented itself on the pad. Crackling electricity emitting from the portal caused a smell similar to superheated ozone.

Finally at the pad, MX-50 couldn’t wait any longer and walked right into it. Perhaps a bit... too quickly.

Inside the portal between space and time, literally with unlimited magnification, sprawling trees with endless universes unfurled themselves. A sight that boggled the ecludian mind. And with exceptional acceleration, the blue Robian was hurle-

CRACKLE - A portal formed inside the specified zone, out of nowhere. CRASH - The poor robot was thrown on the floor, hard.

It appears this teleporting business could use some refinement, still. Greatly disoriented, the Metallix holds his head as faux eyes dart around their photoreceptors.

"Would you say it is generally regarded as good practice to safe somebody from drowning?"

“ I–… Wh– Yeah!? Yes of course it is? Why wouldn’t it be?? ”

“They remind me of high-tech prison equipment, that is all.”It dully stated without emotion. Used at our own facilities.

“But the mind IS a chaotic place, it can make connections where there are none. Has my question startled you?”

It had never taken a good look at the hedgehog before. (Previous encounter contained too much plants) Those strange markings… they look like the inverse of an other curious creature it spoke with some time ago. His eyes were a golden yellow. Not much a fan of the hairstyle.

“Do they have any purpose aside from aesthetics?”

Silver opens his mouth to respond, but ends up shaking his head first.

“ I... guess your question did startle me a little. But there’s no purpose for the way they look. ”

His brow furrows, trying to figure out the best way to word what he wants to say.

“ Mm... I’m pretty sure I can understand why you made that assumption, though, hahah... They kinda do look like shackles if you look at them in a very specific way. ”

Act 1: A New Era, Part 2

Previously.

Teleportation Laboratory, Death Egg Research Facility.

Decades of research and a virtually unlimited budget have resulted in this orbiting science workshop. Sporting the most sensitive and complex instruments ever conceived, this was the place were strong proof of multiple universes was discovered.

The next step was obvious.... retrofit the station to accommodate an interdimensional teleportation device. The first experimental versions were small and couldn't teleport more than a few atoms. But with the entire station's worth of power and research capacity the teleporters rapidly grew in capacity.

The gross mass and complexity of objects that could be transmitted skyrocketed. A huge step forward was the ability to teleport electronic devices and eventually biological specimens.

A deep, droning hum enveloped the station as the largest and newest telepad was being charged. Large generators pumping through enormous amounts of wattage to meet its hunger.

"-50%...60%...70%...-" A Metallix unit was dully annotating the control panels.

“Thank you MX-50″ Silver Sonic complimented , arms crossed behind its back and standing in front of the telepad.

 “So far the startup sequence is progressing nominally. I have already chosen several coordinates from tests that returned data previously. Which one shall we visit first?”

MX-50 looks through various options and picks the most intriguing ones.

“-These actually showed sentient beings interact with the beacons. They looked very much like normal Mobians. We ought to take a closer look at them.-”

“Aye, make it so.”

100%....

F-L-A-S-H

On the telepad appeared a transulcant, elliptical form, outstretched from bottom to top of the pad. It had a wavy pattern to it, an out-of-this-world form.

But once something went through... it didn’t come out on the other side.

        “ --- NOT AT ALL! ”

        “ i think the results are out of the park, really. ”

Act 1: A New Era

Death Egg Research Facility, Mobian orbit.

A blue metallix was running through the station, carrying with him top-secret research documents. All scientific data from the latest dimensional teleportation experiments have finally been analysed. The papers were ready for review, and who could do a better job than the main scientist himself?

“-S-Silver Sonic-” One could have sworn the pseudo-Robian was tired. “-The documents you requested- they’re here.-”

A much larger, silver machine looked over as the metallic robot rushed into the laboratory.

“Excellent,” Silver Sonic complimenten while taking the PDA and looking through its contents. “Any dimensions that really stand out?”

“-N-not really to be honest.-” He replied shortly after recomposing himself.

”From data analysis we’ve concluded a surprising amount of alien dimensions are normal.” 

The silver hedgehog looked over at the smaller robot. “Define normal.”

Metallix crossed its arms and rolled its eyes before going off on the following tirade: “-Hm... breathable atmosphere with gas composition and atmospheric pressure like our own. Gravity of approximate 9 meters per second... per second. No large-scale weather data yet but from what we’ve got, temperatures are roughly the same. A smaller, heavenly body orbiting the planet.-”

Silver Sonic began pacing around the room and continued to listen intently. “What about the inhabitants, the natural fauna. Were there any sentient responders?”

“-Many bear a resemblance to Mobians here-.” Metallix answered while putting several inter-dimensional photos on screen. “-Some look very much like well-known Mobians here. There was even a cybernetically agumented human. And they all appear to speak the same language.-”

“Aha, so saving the life of someone else is high up on your moral pillars.”

The robot held its arms behind its back and locked their hands together. Its eyes darted around before refocusing on the silver Mobian. Silver Sonic continued in its chilling mechanical voice.

“So your actions make it so this person remains among the living. But later in life, he commits a crime and… murders several people. So despite acting upon your grandiose moral compass, your so called ethics resulted in the death of several.”

“Does this change how you feel about the previous situation?”

Ah, so it was one of these questions, was it...

Silver sighs, uncharacteristically heavy as he takes his time with his response.

“ There... would have been no way to know if someone would do that at the time. ” He finally says. At some point in his past, it may have been strange for him to say that, but given the nature of time travel... it’s no longer so.

“ I... don’t really think it would change how I felt about the previous situation much. ”

How to describe it... How to describe it in a way that makes sense...

“ Of course, there would be some guilt about it, but... I would have been unaware of what they would go on to do, and I can’t knowingly let someone die. ... The past is the past. I can’t exactly take it back at that point. ”

Did that make sense? It might not have, but it’s the best he can do.
