 "I watched him myself! He delayed my repairs because of--"he eyes widened when he caught sight of the person in the meeting room--"it." ... Oh no.He started slowly inching behind Eggman. |

 "Business? Compensation?! De-MAND?! Why, this is impossible! I've never met you before! You understand that the Eggman Empire makes NO reparations for damages caused in any of our attacks or invasions?" |

 "Damage reconciliation does not even BEGIN to describe what I am owed. Thanks to your foolish scout, I lost not only Sonic the Hedgehog, Not only Tails, not only my ONE chance at capturing the two with ease, but also my ONLY CHANCE to get enough rings to buy the Isle de Jurai without having to go on some stupid adventure (which I have already had to do now, thank you very much!) and then end up here to speak to you in PERSON!" Eri panted. It was within my grasp....and you RUINED IT!" |

"How DARE you speak so boldly! There is-" Click. "Sonic and Tails? Foolish scout?" He paused. "Can you... describe this scout to me?" |

It was a robot. Bluish in color. He looked similar to Sonic, only Metal. He was wearing a long hooded coat and sunglasses until the deal was interrupted...and he fired at me with a laser blast." And as an afterthought, "And may I remind you how difficult it was to freeze the two heroes into blocks of ice ready for transport? Yes indeed. That was rather troublesome as well." |

Metal shrank behind Eggman, looking around frantically for some way to get himself out of this situation. With increasing desperation he wished he were anywhere else right now! Or that he didn't exist. Or heck, that Omega had finished him off. SOMETHING! |

"...I see. I seeeee. We can discuss this like REASONABLE gentlemen... But would you excuse me a moment?" He glanced at the robot behind him. "I need to confer with this... scout... personally." |

Metal righted his posture, looking up at his master. His eye flickered briefly. Not saying a word he forced himself to follow Eggman. |

Eri waited in silence. He glanced at his sheet of paper with his numerical figure on it. The payment he had intended...and casually added an extra 0 to the end of it. |

"I want a detailed explanation as to WHAT exactly our friend back there was talking about." The doctor was walking down the hallway toward the repair room, to verify what Metal had earlier said. "And NO withholding of information in the interest of protecting yourself." |

Metal twitched everywhere inside as he walked to keep up. "He established contact with me claiming that he had Sonic and Tails in his custody... for a price. I was leery, but I went to investigate for myself to be sure. He was not lying. I was planning to steal Sonic for you." |

"How many times have I TOLD you to report important missions to me? ESPECIALLY relating to the hedgehog?! I can only hope that Robo Knuckles will do a better job at keeping in contacting me than you ha-" He opened the door, looking around the repair room. "...where did he go."

Metal relaxed slightly. He knew he was still in trouble, but at least the worst seemed to be over. In response to Eggman he blinked and looked inside from behind his master. "... He was in stasis here when I left." |

"I can't BELIEVE this! Now HE'S run off too?! Metal, go search the base for any signs of him. I have to go deal with that demanding... guest." He left the room and headed back to Eri. "So sorry to keep you waiting. I've been informed of the situation. So... What exactly IS it that you propose?"

"As I have said, I have an interest in...real estate." Eri smirked. "I need only just enough funds to purchase a certain island." Eri held up the sheet of paper. He was expecting a scream. |

"...Is this even a real number?!" The doctor looked at Eri. "This is ridiculous. Not even getting those two pests out of my way would be worth THIS amount of money. And even if I WERE to pay you this, what would be in it for me?" |

Eri figured that the figure would be figured figurative. "Well of course...you can always aid me in my aquisition of the Isle de Jurai...and when I say aid I mean GET IT for me....and I suppose...." Eri wasn't exactly sure what he was saying, but it was the first thing to come to mind, "I suppose you could have a loyal operative of the Eggman Empire." Eri glanced over to Eggman's eyes. "After all, I do have quite a resume already don't you think?" |

"Yes, my Liege." he watched as Eggman left. Turning toward the room and muttered a few obscenities in binary; where would that red oaf have gotten himself off to anyway? ... He better not have gone anywhere near his room... Rolling his eyes and scowling he walked off down the hall, opposite of the way Eggman had gone. |

"Hmph. It should be an HONOR to join my empire! I can't be bothered to conquer an island just to ensure the membership of a single person." |

Honor huh. let's see..what was the magic word? The one the scout reacted to? Certainly changed HIS mind. Eri gave a shrug. "Well...I suppose thats true. I guess I'll just have to find some other evil genius who will help me then. I COULD always go see Dimitrov then, and join HIS empire." |

"D- Dimitrov?! Now just you wait a minute. You KNOW this Dr. Talon?" He paused. "I have BUSINESS with this man. Tell me... Where can I find him?" |

Bingo. "Oh no, I couldn't. Not while I'm freelance and homeless...I wouldn't be able to tell you about how to sneak into his Fortess on Recluse island...or about his operation plans..." Eri smiled at Eggman, making no lie about his motivations. "Unless you have an offer for me." |

The doctor paused. Surely conquering one island wouldn't be much of a problem? And if it meant getting to show Talon that he couldn't be made a fool of... "...Very well. I shall consider it." He walked to a nearby shelf, and pulled a wristwatch-like device from it. Handing the device to Eri, he explained. "This is a communication device. I will use this to contact you if I decide your information will be of use. Now... I'm afraid that's all the time I have to spend on this meeting. Before you go, give me the coordinates of this island." |

"No harm in that, I suppose." Eri placed the devic on his write wand walked to the computer, and began typing up map Schematics. An easy task, he'd seen it done before. "The place is imenetrable to all but those who know it secrets. Off the coast of the Mystic Ruins, shrouded in fog and mystery, dwelling of the untouchable Talon." The map blinked on a red dot seemingly out in the middle of the ocean. "Recluse Island." Eri turned to leave. "Oh and by the by...there is a gift waiting for you at the recruiting station. Anything else before I go turn Sonic into sticky blue shreds?" |

A while later, Eri's "gifts" finally arrived.
Silver, still holding Bogert, calmly scanned the point of arrival while waiting for further instructions, or for the Doctor himself.

Metal stepped out of his personal quarters. Nothing missing or broken, so that was one beating RK would avoid for now. His eyes shifted around and he took to walking, checking each corridor and room he came across. He had a vague inkling where RK might have gone off to. He'd baited the other metallix to get him in trouble, and hopefully he had run off on his own. RK getting in trouble for doing the exact thing he was being punished for, he could already hear his master's angry rants if it were so. The thought gave him an odd sensation he couldn't particularly identify. Yet despite this inkling, he continued the boring task given to him. He wasn't about to go running off himself again, oh no, he was in enough trouble already. He would be a good boy and do his chores. Although that really didn't stop it from being any less boring. |

Eggman was sitting in the room, waiting for them to arrive. He glanced at the two robots curiously. That one looked like something he had built, but... "...Hmm? Interesting machines. Welcome to my base! You must be the 'gifts' Eri spoke of... I am Dr. Eggman, the greatest scientific genius in the world!" |
