"I can't BELIEVE you'd do something like this. Well, I can. But twice in a row?!" The submarine Eggmobile attachment docked, and Eggman stepped out. "I've put up with your odd eccentricities, but you've taken more damage than you normally would on a COMBAT mission! What were you doing in Station Square anyway?" (The title will make sense soon.)

Metal just slouched and staggered off the eggmobile. Apparently that shot Omega dealt to his turbine had also damaged some of the connections in his legs, as he took five steps before his balance servos gave out and he stumbled. Resisting the urge to swear something in binary he pulled himself back up. "I was," he paused. "Looking for information on Dr. Talon's wereabouts."

"You should have notified me before going out!" He activated a radio hidden under the cuff on his sleeve. "Maintainance robots, report to docking bay immediately to pick up damaged robot. Take to repair room." He turned to Metal. "This behavior cannot be allowed to continue this way. What would happen if you got destroyed? Or if someone captured you and stole knowledge of the Eggman Empire?!"

Metal hadn't even thought of an outcome like that, he realized. Unlike most other robots, he was perfectly aware of his own mortality, and the thought of death (or in his case, destruction), well, terrified him. He slouched even further. "My apologies, my Liege..." was all he could think to say.

"It would be useless to try to prevent you from exploring, wouldn't it? I have better things to do than put you on surveilance all the time. However... As I said, this behavior cannot be allowed to continue." He stroked his chin for a moment, in thought. "You will be accompanied by a chaperon from now on, when leaving the base. I'm sure you're familliar with the robot called 'Robo Knuckles'?" At that moment, the maintainance robots arrived, and the scientist left to activate Metal's new partner.

"CHAPERON?!" Metal was outraged. "I do not need a babysitter!" Unfortunately, Eggman had already left.

Aaaaaaand there was a creepy little doll sitting on the shelf next to RK. Eggman glanced at the thing. Something about its design was unsettling to him... It was designed with the purpose of racing in mind, but in spite of its ability to float and take shortcuts, it couldn't keep up with Sonic. Eggman had tossed it into a back room along with RK, but it seemed like THIS one wouldn't be able to serve any further purpose. And since there was no real AI to speak of... The doctor suddenly snapped back to attention. He had forgotten why he was there for a moment. He punched in a combonation to activate RK and waited for him to power up. "Greetings, RK... I have an assignment for you!"

Eggman blinked, taken slightly aback. After regaining his composure, he continued his instructions. "With the luck of your brother," stressing this word with a sort of irony, "that is indeed likely. Metal Sonic has been going on, shall we say... eccentric trips. It will be your job to accompany him on these excursions. Keep watch on him. If he gets into trouble, I am counting on YOU to prevent him from damage or capture by whatever means you so deem necessary, so long as they do not interfere with the goals of the Empire. Understood?" Hardly pausing, he went on. "Go meet Metal in the repair room. And... while you're at it..." He grabbed the Tails Doll and tossed it at RK. "Toss this thing out."

RK: With a salute, the robot ran as fast as its armored legs could carry it, grabbed the TD, tossed it out the nearest waste area, and ran to meet his new partner in "ass kicking".
Once RK made it to the repair room, he walked up to Metal and said, "BROTHER!! AS SOON AS YOU ARE FUNTIONAL, I WILL LAYETH THE SMACKETH DOWN UPON THAT WHICH HAS DONE THIS TO YOU!!"

Metal's eyes slowly lit up as he left stasis. Most of his armor had been removed for work on his jet engine and a flurry of maintenance bots swarmed around him. Glancing over at RK without moving his head he felt a sudden strong urge to scream. " Never call me brother again." he hissed.

RK: He stood there for a moment, and then said, "The fat man refered to you as my brother. But if it would please you more, I shall refer to you as Metal Sonic, brother."

Did he just refer to Eggman as 'the fat man'? If only Eggman were standing there right now. He was sure this... 'brother'... would have been smitten into oblivion. Something he would have liked to see. He narrowed his eyes and focused them on the ceiling. "Metal. Just Metal. Everyone calls me Metal Sonic. I do not like it."

RK: His eyes glowed a terrible green glow and he scowled "Betrayed... THE EMPIRE?! Master, where was he last seen? I will exterminate him with PLEASURE."
He lowered his head again and looked at Metal through his brow.

Master? Why the heck was he calling him his master?! Shaking that off Metal's eyes glowed with a twinge of sadism brewing. He did not need a chaperon, or a babysitter, or a partner, or whatever else he was supposed to be! However... siccing him on Omega and getting him in trouble with Eggman so soon would be... amusing. "Station Square is his last known location I know of."

RK: He nodded, and his eyes glowed slightly. "Master, once you have become operational again, I shall aid you in the destruction of this... OMEGA!! *eyes so bright you could signal spacecraft* AN ABOMINTATION!!"
He bolted up to a robot to shake the little guy around with glee at the thought of destruction, but having no phalanges he accidentally shredded it to peices. The sight of its destruction fueled his luster to kick ass, and he began to do just that. On anything that wasn't Metal...

Drat, Metal though. He didn't take the bait in the way he'd hoped. He rolled his eyes back and grumbled. However, as the echidna-modeled metallix began to go wild, Metal's eyes widened with a considerable amount of alarm. "STOP THAT!" he screamed. "How do you expect me to get repaired if--STOP THAT ONE HAS MY SHELL! DO NOT DENT IT!" He just stared blankly as the robot was torn apart, eyes beginning to glow with an angry rage. Unable to do much with his engine offline, the metallix's eyes rolled into his head and went dark as he forced himself into stasis.

((Poor poor Metal! I feel so sorry for him))
RK: Looking at what he had done, he felt satisfied. For now. He saw Metal's arm on the floor, retracted his claws, and using his stubs of hands he picked it up and began to try to reattach it to Metal. Unable to do it, he became frustrated with his lack of workable digits. He the got an idea. He took the hands of one of the robots he had obliterated, and he began to work on attaching them to his own arms. With the help of one small repair droid, he wired them and now had a pair of hands. He went up to Metal and continued working on him until he was fully repaired, and then he promted, "Master, your repairs are complete. You are functional once more."

'Fully repaired' was apparently not a definition RK was familiar with. While it was true Metal's shell was back on his frame, his engine itself was still in need of repairs.

RK: Motioning the repair droid to get to work on his less-than-perfect job, he spoke "I have brought you this repair droid. It was out getting some parts while I was busy with its counterparts. It will finish what I have not been able to. This shall not take long." The droid immediately got to work, and soon after it rested. Metal was 100% again. RK was 'sleeping' in the corner.

'Awakening' from his forced 'nap' earlier, Metal immediately ran a maintenance scan over himself. It seemed he was in good enough shape now to leave. Glancing around in dismay at the trashed maintenance bots Metal's eyes flared. And there, sitting in the corner, was the culprit responsible. This would not do. He quietly slid himself off the table and hovered over toward one of the large computers, calling in for a group of janitor bots to come fix up the mess. He turned for a brief second, scowling at RK, then turned back toward the computer. He turned and glared at Robo, then scowled and turned back to the computer issuing a request for Eggman's current whereabouts. The computer responded to both requests, and with that he left the room without attempting to disturb his... sibling. As soon as he felt he was out of the robotic echidna's hearing range he kicked his jet on and fired himself through the base until he had reached the room the computer specified. "My Liege!" Metal called out angrily as the doors whisked open to allow him entrance.

RK: Robo heard everything, his eyes slowly glowing green he stood up and walked over to the computer. Looking at it, he spoke in binary...
"01010011 01110100 01100001 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110 00100000 01010011 01110001 01110101 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100011 01101111 01101111 01110010 01100100 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110100 01100101 01110011"
and then-
01010011 01110100 01101111 01100011 01101011 01110000 01101001 01101100 01100101 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01100011 01110010 01110101 01101001 01110011 01100101 00100000 01101101 01101001 01110011 01110011 01101001 01101100 01100101 01110011 00101110 00100000 01001100 01101111 01100011 01100001 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110 00101110
The computer blipped two times, and he nodded. He headed towards the weapons bunker in the base, picked up his desired tool and left the base with it, destined for...

"Metal! I certainly hope that the purpose for your visit isn't for more damages?" He glanced at a nearby alarm going off, indicating that there would be someone arriving at the base soon. "I need to go meet this potential recruit. Speak while we walk." He then left the room to meet Eri.

Metal's eyes dimmed for a moment, then narrowed and flared up as he fell into step with his master. "That monstrosity you reactivated destroyed an entire line of maintenance robots! For no reason at all!"

Eri was silent for a moment. Eggman was much bigger in person. "Eri...sir." And apparently, had a very good amount of regality for Eri to actually call him sir. Eri regained himself though. Seeing metal Sonic reminded him of the scout who had contributed to ruining his plans for Sonic. "Actually....I am here on a small matter of business, which I demand compensation for."
