Rouge nodded; this robot was really beginning to creep her out. "Yes," she added after Rob, "Mercia would be your best option. Now if you wouldn't mind..." She nodded in the direction of the open doorway. Normally she would've started to physically push an unwanted visitor out the door by now, but... this was a robot, and one that for some reason had an extensive file on her. It had also mentioned Robotnik's name... Rouge wasn't about to take any unnecessary chances. Her only hope was that it was malfunctioning, since it hadn't attacked anyone yet. Still... Robotnik robot standing in her home with enough knowledge about her to be able to just walk right up to her door. Rouge's ears drooped slightly again as she anxiously grabbed Rob's elbow for the second time.

"Very well," Silver said, taking a step back. "...I do not have a 'Mercia' listed in my location database. Could you direct me?

Rob glanced at Rouge when she grabbed him, putting a reassuring hand on hers. Apparently he was on the same wavelength as her, as he was now trying to figure out the best way to reply to this robot. He wanted him gone, but the village's security couldn't be compromised if he was working for Robotnik. He glanced over at Chrono and twisted his mouth. Turning his gaze back to Silver, he opened his back to begin speaking... "I--yaaAAAAUGH!" ... And then yelled as the solid floor completely gave out from beneath him, causing him plummet and slip out of Rouge's grasp in the process.

"R-Rob!" Rouge sputtered in shock as the hedgehog slipped away from her. The bat's eyes widened with disbelief as he seemed to sink right into her own floor. "Rob!!" She dropped to her knees to reach after him, but only ended up slamming her knuckles into the floorboards. Wherever he'd gone, she wouldn't be able to follow. Her heart skipped a beat. " Rob!!!"

Now it was Silver's turn to take a step back, seeing the unknown hedgehog dispear in front of him was...unexpected to say the least. "Interspacial anomoly detected...calculating. It is probable that the hedgehog known as 'Rob' is unharmed." Manic heard Rouge's shouting and rushed over to investigate. "Yo, what's all the high decibals about?" he asked...then counted one more robot around than there should be, "WHOA, hardware alert!"

"Rob?! I... Rouge, I can't detect him." He turned to Silver. "Frank, you've come at a bad time. I think you should just leave. Go on, leave! You're offending my friends! Go home!"

Rouge stared into the floorboards where Rob had been standing in absolute shock. He had just... sank and disappeared! But how was that even possible? The bat wanted nothing more than to follow after and bring him back, but she didn't have even the slightest clue where to begin. How could she very well just vanish into the flooring of her own volition? "Rob..." she whispered, running her palm over the spot where her love had disappeared. Her eyes began to feel hot and stingy. What in the world happened to you??Manic's comment caught her sensitive ear, and Rouge rose to her feet again. Her expression was as unrevealing as ever, unless one were to notice that her eyes looked slightly wetter than usual. "I.... can't explain what just happened," she said to Manic and Chrono. "Rob just... He was here, he was right here, and then all of a sudden he was gone." Rouge's eyes moved over to Silver, and her brow furrowed slightly. That robot had made a comment about what happened to him, she remembered. Clenching her hands into fists, the bat took a step over to Silver and firmly asked, "What do you know about what just happened here?"

Silver continued to ignore the other robot who inisted on refering to him as 'Frank'. "An unknown interspacial anomoly opened up underneath Rob. Gathered data indicated that a similar occurance happend to this unit, resulting in my transportation here. It is likely that Rob has been transported to another location intact."

Cyro stepped forward with Rouge, flanking her. "My scanners saw a power reading, but it said it was identified and I can't find any information about it. ... I... really don't know, Rouge. I'm sorry." He hung his head a little, but kept an eye on "Cousin Frank"

Something about the use of the term "in tact" struck Rouge as incredibly upsetting, and her face gave away her frustrated worry as she glared at Silver for a second or two. "So Rob was 'transported', and you were too. Transported where?? How are we supposed to find him?!" She paused, then added in half-hearted afterthought, "...And get you back, too."

"Answer to both queries: Unknown." Silver said. "Great, so we lose Rob and get stuck with the hunk of tin." Manic walked over to Silver and tapped the side of his head. Silver turned to look at him, but otherwise didn't do anything. Manic grinned. "On the other hand, there could be an upside to this, think he'd make a good amp?"

Chrono put a hand on Rouge's shoulder lightly, apparently trying to be comforting. He frowned at Manic. "This isn't a joking matter. We have to get Rob back... somehow."

" Shut up, Manic!" Rouge hissed, her voice having become strained. Her eyes never strayed from Silver. Even though they'd become even wetter and were probably on the verge of leaking, they only seemed to get stronger. "Well then," she began stiffly, "since you brought this phenomenon with you, then you're going to help us fix it. You need a satellite? Fine. I'll take you to Mercia and we'll find you one." Clenching her jaw and letting out a determined sigh, Rouge pushed pasted the group and headed down the boardwalk for the elevator. "Come on!" she ordered firmly. "We're leaving, NOW."

Manic "Eep"ed and took cover behind Silver. "Very well, let us make haste." Silver said, and deprived Manic of his cover by following Rouge. Manic quickly scurried along behind. "Hey, a mission, I'm up with that! Um...sorry about the amp crack."
