In a flash of emerald green light, an obsidian hedgehog materialized in a hallway within the base. Regarding the young girl in his company, his eyes quickly scoped the hallway to see if any employees were walking around, hoping that they wouldn't startle his companion. The halls were clear. "Alright, this way, Maria." He said, turning to the girl and motioning for her to follow. He started down the hallway, hoping she'd have the sense to follow him.

And follow she did, albeit in a timid skitter. The girl looked around, startled by their new surroundings. It was obvious she was still very confused and still frightened. " Where are we?" she asked timidly, trying to stay close to him. " H-how did we get here?!"

Shadow turned to look back at the girl as he proceeded. "We're at the base of an organization called GUN, Guardian Unit of Nations." He explained. "I have a friend here who tends to be in the know about matters... such as you showing up out of thin air."

Meanwhile, the GUN airial flagship was just finishing docking operations in the base's hanger area. They'd returned shortly after the confrontations at the portal, leaving behind a pair of smaller cruisers to stand guard, to allow the techs to study the data using the base's facilities.
@commander@ "...And I want a report on the analysis ASAP," The commander was saying as he walked briskly along the cooridor away. "What's the status of our guests?" he asked.
"Well," replied the junior officer, "The green hedgehog is still on site, recovering from an...incident with Agent Rouge. Her counterpart and the other hedgehog are currently out together, but we have them under survalence."
@commander@ The commander nodded, "Good. Keep an eye on them and try to keep an eye out for any more...arivals as best you can, we don't need any others ending up in the hands of terrorists." He said, thinking back on the recent encounter.

Maria just nodded silently and continued to follow along after the hedgehog. She glanced at their surroundings, the long corridors reminding her much of Area 27's complex. When she heard additional footsteps, she turned her focus toward them, noticing people in an adjacent corridor. She reached toward Shadow's arm, then paused in uncertainty, before she tugged timidly at it. " Umm... m-maybe th-those people will know where your f-friend is..."

Shadow's glance was suddenly guided in the direction of the GUN Commander. Though reluctant to call his attention, the hedgehog did conclude that if ANYONE knew what was going on here, he likely did. He grabbed Maria by the arm, biting his lip. "Come on." He muttered with much annoyance. He took a deep breath as he approached. "Excuse me, Commander."

The commander stopped and sighed at the sound of the familliar voice. "Shadow, I should have known you'd show up in this sooner or later." He turned to face the hedgehog, "What is i-" He stopped dead, a look of shock comming over his face as he looked past Shadow to the person accompanying him. Evem knowning the current situation, even aware of the possibility, however faintly, that another her could exist in the other world, it still wasn't enough to prepare him for the sight of her. "M-maria...!?" he gasped, before fainting dead away, much to the shock of his eunterouge.

Maria gasped in surprise, covering her mouth with both hands and taking several steps backward. "O-oh my!... Is--is he--alright?!" she stuttered in panic, whimpering and looking quickly between him, the people he was with and Shadow. "I didn't--I mean I didn't mean-- I mean he--I never--" she went silent, her eyes threatening to burst anew with fresh tears.

"... No, you are not at fault." Shadow commented. "It probably wasn't too wise to present him to you, seeing how you resemble his dead childhood friend..." He approached the General, attempting to jar him awake.

The commander stirred after a moment, as he found himself looking up into a face he'd rather not be waking up to. "Shadow..." Then he remembered, and sighed, "I wasn't seeing things was I?" he asked.

"I'm afraid not, Commander." The hedgehog replied, attempting to help the shocked human to his feet. "I found her in Frog Forest. After overcoming the... shock of her discovery, I decided that bringing her here for further answers might be a good idea."

The girl seemed to shrink a bit, feeling understandably confused and quite embarrassed. She pressed her lips together and timidly approached the taller human, barely extending her hands away from her body in a motion to shake with him. "Um... I'm... I'm really sorry for scaring you, sir... I didn't mean to..." she paused for a moment, glancing at the people who were with him with unease, speaking in a very low tone. " Um... a-are we, um, in a human colony?"

"No apology necessary, M-...Miss," he told her as he brushed off and straightened his uniform. "And no, this isn't an overlander colony, not exactly anyway. It seems you two need to be brought up to speed."

"It would seem so." Shadow replied, awaiting whatever possible explanation the General would be able to provide.

Maria pulled her hand back when the commander didn't shake with her and wilted a bit, averting her gaze. " ... Oh..."

"Right, follow me," he said and began heading for where they were keeping Manic. "You're aware of the various incidents with the universe known as the Sol Dimension I turst, Shadow?"

"Vaguely." Shadow replied, following after the General.

"Good, that will make this slightly easier to explain. Recently we've had incidents with inhabitents of a new parrallel universe crossing over into ours, as well as some of our people being drawn into theirs. This universe is much more similar to ours than Sol, with near identical, at least in physical appearance, counterparts to people in this universe...as you may have noticed."

The hedgehog however, did not reply, though a small portal was seen where he'd once stood, slowly beginning to close.

Maria squeaked and stumbled backward, barely managing to keep herself from tumbling in after him. She raised both hands up to her face and stared wide eyed as the portal closed " Sh-Shadow?" she whimpered, fear tinging itself in her voice. "Sh-Shadow?" she said louder, in some vane hope the hedgehog would have heard her. "Shadow?! SHADOW!" Immediately the girl began to panic, trembling and taking in quick gasps of air, fat tears beginning to frame her eyes. "SHADOW! SHADOW!" she continued in desperation, collapsing to the floor and feeling at the spot the portal had been with her delicate quivering hands. After a moment she looked up at the commander and his cohorts, the fear in her eyes shining like beacons. She began to stumble back away from them, barely manging to get her words out through her frantic breaths. " Y-you... w-w-what d-did you do t-to Sh-Shadow?!"

The commander nearly jumped back in surprise when Shadow disapeared but quickly composed himself. " I didn't do anything with him, it's another dimensional warp... and in the middle of HQ too..."

" NOOOOOO! SHADOOOOOWIAAAAAAA! Y-you're lying..." she whispered softly, pulling herself back to her feet and backing away slowly. " You h-have to be lying!" she hiccuped, her eyes beginning to spill over. I'll bet they're the reason Shadow was acting so weird... she thought suddenly. They probably brainwashed him... or used an android... or...Her brows curved down and she bit her lip, looking ready to bolt any second. "Y-you st-st-ay ah-ah-away from m-me..."

The Commander sighed, "I didn't do anything. These portals are appearing randomly, usually taking peole with them when they appear. We're working on a jamming field to at least protect this complex from them, but until then any of us could be transported at any second."

"I-I don't believe you!" she said, her voice gaining the tiniest bit of strength to it. In spite of this, she'd begun to back up slowly. "I'll... I'll bet you're in league w-with Robotnik!" she put on the best determined looking face she could, even though she still looked terrified out of her wits. Her trembling hands began to fidget around a small utility belt on her waist. "I-I'm n-n-not go-ho-oing to let yuh-you.. hurt m-my f-friends... I w-won't tell you a-anything..."

"We are not in league with Robotnik, your world's or ours," The commander said forcefully. "..." He sighed, weighing his options and comming to only one choice, since the other extradimensionals were still out, he only had one other person on site that could be of use, "Go bring the hedgehog here," he said, and one of the GUN troopers immediatly headed off to get Manic.

@satamespio@ "LOOK OUT, 'SCUSE ME, COMIN' THROOOOUUUUUGH!!" Without warning a purple blur streaked by the loitering group.
@satamrouge@ "Espio, wait!" Rouge cried as she chased after him. She let out a sigh; this world was just waaaaay too exciting for him. As she was about to also make her way through the group, the bat stopped short when she recognized the commander. "Oh..... hello," she greeted awkwardly with a half-bow. "Um... Sorry, but, another member of our village is here... Please excuse me." With that she took off again in the same direction as the chameleon ahead of her. "Espio, slow down!"

"ESPIO!" Rob shouted, hot on the heels of the two who'd just passed through, "Excuse me, pardon me, um, what she said!" he rambled as he tried to, as non-disruptively as possible, maneuver his way through the forest of taller bodies after his charge. A moment before Maria had looked and was fully prepared to make a run for it. After the unexpected appearance of the caravan had pushed themselves past her, however, she froze in place and stood absolutely still.

And the Commander...just sighed as his base once again seemed to disolve into anarchy. Meanwhile at that moment, Manic and his escort rounded the corner...with Manic ending up directly in Espio's path. "AHHH!" (roll to see if they collide) [dice=6][rand=975003064333519691906476585790778715938941948549368256694009907]

@satamespio@ "OH SH--" Before he could stop, Espio slammed head-on into Manic, sending the pair tumbling to the floor. If Manic's bruise from earlier had healed, you'd never know it to look, as he probably had a shiney new one from Espio's horn. The chameleon, meanwhile, seemed to be knocked for a loop for the second time that day.
@satamrouge@ Rouge, on the other hand, was not only lucky enough to be too closely on Espio's trail, but also tossed her wings to either side to slow herself down. Despite the carnage at hand, she let out a sigh of relief. "Well... At least he's stopped..."
