Eggman's Undersea Base - An Announcement

[Dr. Mechano]

It was time.

Recently, Dr. Eggman had discussed his latest scheme with Metal Sonic- It was a brilliant plan, in which he would throw GUN off guard by making them believe he was about to launch an attack on Station Square. With the military mobilized to protect the city, Eggman would instead launch a surprise attack on the vulnerable Grand Metropolis instead before the city, GUN, or even Sonic could possibly know what happened.

So was the plan, anyway. And now it was time for phase one of the plan... To announce his decoy plan.

Flipping on a few switches, the doctor's transmission hijacking devices sprang to life, programmed to override the television frequencies of the greater Station Square area. After taking a moment to make sure he looked okay for the cameras, Eggman began recording and started his maniacal broadcast.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Dr. Eggman casually turned around in a comfortable rotating chair, facing the camera that was recording his impromptu tirade.

"Good evening, Station Square! It's me- Your old pal Dr. Eggman, with some exciting news for my favorite bunch of buffoons!"

His face took on a wistful, nostalgic look as he went on, "You know, everyone, I love my fortress. Oh, the old place has had its flaws and the odd pest problem to be sure, but it's been the place I've called home for what seems like ages now."

"But there comes a time when a man needs a change of scenery- To get out! See the world! And that time for me is now- I've decided to move into Station Square and set up a new nest for myself- Granted, I'll still be keeping my base; Call it a summer home if you will!"

Smirking into the camera, his voice took on a more serious, threatening tone. "That said, there's that trifling little detail of not being able to move in to my new dream home until the President signs it over to me. I know you're attached to this place, which is why I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse! In exchange for Station Square, I'm offering the generous payment of not wiping the city out with my fleet of airships! Mwaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha! Aaaaaaah ha ha ha!"

Clearing his throat with a loud "AHEM!", he regained his composure and went on, "I don't expect an immediate answer of course, so I'll give you a comfortable twenty-four hours to think it over, Prez. Bye now! Oooh hoo hoo hoo!"

He playfully waved as his transmission ended, and televisions returned to their normal broadcasts.

"Well, that was fun," he said as he abruptly stood up, beginning to blissfully stroll across the room, "That was a pretty convincing performance, wouldn't you say?"

He glanced at Metal Sonic, who was currently the only one that was in on his secret plan.

"As boisterous as ever, my Liege," Metal commented from where he stood. His arms were kept folded in the small of his back, his half-circle eyes focused on his creator. "So when shall we begin to move out toward Grand Metropolis?"

[Dr. Mechano]

"We wait," Eggman calmly replied, folding his hands contemplatively, "The ball is in GUN's court now, and I fully expect them to play into my hands and up Station Square's defenses, focusing all their attention and resources to doing so. However, we must not act too quickly and risk ruining our element of surprise..."

Eggman grinned, "I've waited years for this moment, Metal... A little bit longer will be worth ensuring my flawless victory."

(Didn't actually see the GUN post at the time I made my previous reply. We'll assume a bit of time has passed, and...)



Some time later, Dr. Eggman suddenly spoke up again, "It's been several hours, and if there's anything I can credit GUN for, it's their punctuality. By now they're likely watching Station Square like hawks, ready for me to make my move."

It was only an assumption on Eggman's part, and if that assumption proved wrong, it could mean disaster for his plans. As prepared as he considered himself, old habits would still die hard- He was as arrogant and presumptuous as ever, even here.

"Therefore... It is time!"

He outstretched his arm dramatically as he continued speaking, "The Eggman Empire is launching a full-scale invasion of Grand Metropolis, and we're doing so TODAY! Eggmanland will finally come to be, and from my new city, I'll extend my reach and conquer the whole world! Yes... To the ships! I want every single robot here to go with us. We are finally moving, after all..."

(OOC: Depending on whether or not Jamie wants to make a Metal post, this topic is probably almost over, with my next post being at Grand Metropolis itself.)
