"It IS an interesting coincidence," Silver commented, "Though with the decline of the echidna race on our world, it is possible that, through some sort of...'cosmic balance', that personalities that otherwise would have been echidna instead took form in the similar pangolin species."

Glancing briefly at Silver, Zachary screwed his mouth over to one side in what looked like a bizarre cross between a smirk and a frown. Suddenly, he shot his robotic arm out toward Julie in a gesture to shake hands. "Dr. Zachary Acerbus. I have no idea what the hell a pangolin is."

@segajulie@ Julie's eyes widened slightly at Zack's introduction. Had Silver not just made the comment about species differentials between counterparts, she probably would've had a much more animated reaction. "...Izzat so," she said instead. Taking the offered hand and giving it a rigorous shake, she continued, "Well, I'm Julie, and I'm a pangolin. Sorry about getting your undies in a knot before."

And I'm Dash. I'm a tenrec who's leg doesn't work, thought Dash, frowning slightly. "So we're heading to the house with the light, right?"

Lance's eyes went equally wide, slightly tilting his head to one side as he studied over the snowy colored echidna. "Name's Lance..." Midi's reaction, however, wasn't so low-key. "Dude, Dr. Zachary?!" she said with rising excitement. "You mean the cyborg doctor guy?! I've heard of him!" " He does seem better known than I am," Zachary muttered bitterly, glancing between the group with an unreadable expression. His mouth suddenly curved into a rather smug little smirk at Julie, Lance and Dash. "I knew it. You three work for the other world's version of me. Yeah, come inside. We're wasting my generator's power."

If he'd been organic, or maybe even a tad more emotionally developed, Silver probably would have snorted at Midi's comment. 'Cyborg doctor guy' yeah...not to mention leader of organized terrorists and criminals. But he wasn't so he kept silent and simply followed the group inside.

Meanwhile, inside the house, and upstairs, a certain sparrow had heard the voices outside, but only realized NOW who one of them belonged to. It was her abas! He was back! And she was REALLY nervous about these people in their house. Nervous enough, in fact, that instinct made her go out the window, with the intention of using her wings to glide to the ground... Except for one problem. Robian wings do not glide. Thus, Cassia found herself just FALLING instead with a frightened shriek... Directly towards Zachary. Good news, actually, except for the falling part.

@segajulie@ "BUT... HOW DID... WE DIDN'T EVEN... *BRICK*"
Julie never managed to complete a coherent sentence, because before she could properly gather her thoughts, a small but heavy bird came crashing into her noggin. Both the sparrow and the pangolin ended up in a pile on the ground.

There was a long, long pause from Dash, as he looked at the ... bird and pangolin... pile, and then upwards from where the bird had apparently crashed. There was a look of amazement on his face. "... it wasn't me."

"Wha--CASSIE!" waving the light away and dropping the power stone, leaving the group bathed only in the light from the shop windows, Zachary rushed toward the fallen sparrow's side. "Cassie! Are you alright?!" he asked, taking her by an arm and attempting to help her up. Lance glanced at Dash with an arched brow before heading over toward the pile. "Hey Jules, you okay?" he asked, crouching down and offering her a hand.

A light green light added to the light in the room as Silver increased his eyeglow again, returning his right arm to normal. Surprised at the sudden appearance of the newcommer, he had switched it over to combat mode in preparation to combat the new 'threat', which had proven to be a false alarm.

The sparrow groaned quietly, getting to her feet (with Zachary's help), before registering someone asked if she was all right. And it would be rude not to answer... " I'm alright-" Cassia's eyes widened as she looked up at Zack, realizing who it was. " Abas there are strange people in our house and you weren't here and I was frightened and then I heard you outside and... forgot I can't glide." The girl rubbed the back of her head, having not COMPLETELY registered how not-alone her abas was.

@segajulie@ Meanwhile, Julie remained slightly dazed on the ground. Normally such a small child probably wouldn't have knocked her for a loop, but, well, this child happened to be part metal. "Lance gimme my ban'age you jerk," she woozily replied, swinging at the wolf and coming nowhere close to hitting him.

Dash frowned down at the stunned pangolin. Maybe at least now she won't be making enemies with people they've just met. Though maybe she'll have a concussion- that wasn't really such a good thing. Dash scratched at a cheek. "Er..." OKAY, SHIFTING OF FOCUS. Dash looked up to the new and apparently concussion inducing newcomer. "So uh, who's this?" Pause. BESIDES A GIRL WITHOUT PANTS.AVERT EYES. COVERING OF THEM, EVEN.

" She's fine," Lance muttered, leaning back as she swung. "Yeah, yeah whatever. Just get up." "I know, I know, Lidah's soul don't scare me like that," he said, "I'm the one who let them in - I'll explain inside." Retrieving the power stone he'd dropped, he turned back to the group and, giving a brief glance at Dash. "She's my goddaughter." his expression then hardened and he gave Cassie a nudge. "Alright, all of you inside. I don't have all day." he said, opening the door. Midnight motioned to follow, then blinked in surprise over the same thing Dash had noticed. With bulged eyes and flushed cheeks she quickly glanced away. "Uhhhhh..." she began hesitantly. "... Why... doesn't she have pants on...?"

Cassia jumped at the question from Midi, glancing at the bat, and realizing there were yet MORE people outside! Including a... a... Cassia wasted no time darting back indoors at the sight of Silver. Whether he was a Robian, or some kind of normal robot, he SCARED the little sparrow... Which of course left them with no explanation why she had no pants. Not that she needed them. Of course, Vize looked up at hearing the door open, and glanced at his now finished Power Stone Radar... Locator. Which he no longer needed. "Sonova..." He then blinked, not recognizing... ANYONE who came in, except the echidna. "More guests?"

@serotor@ The purple walrus too took notice to the open door, and some of the figures. "Are these guys native to this place, sir?"
@barby@ Stepping down the stairs, Barby returned back to the room. "Oy...I knew I 'eard someone up there. I..." Until she spotted more people coming in. "Please tell me they're gonna 'elp us."

Amy had just come back from yet another fruit-raid, and was popping more grapes into her mouth when she noticed Zack's return. With newcomers. WITH A VERY FAMILIAR ROBOT. "... YOU!" she gasped in fear, dropping her food in surprise, "What are YOU doing here!?" Along with that statement, the pink hedgehog was now weilding a very large hammer.

"I find myself increasingly computing the same thing," Silver calmly told Amy. He was unconcerned with her threatening manner, as she really posed no threat to him.

Zachary had motioned to call out to Cassia, but between her being frightened away and the pink hedgehog's sudden outburst, he merely wrinkled his nose and glared. "Alright, I'm only saying this once," he growled. "This is my workshop and you can all either get along with each other as my guests or I'm throwing all of you out on your ears, because quite frankly, I have far more important concerns." Having said that, he turned and glanced over toward where his adoptive daughter had run. "Cassia, I want you to go upstairs and get together whatever it is you need. As soon as we're done here I'm taking you to Knothole."

The frightened sparrow, who had huddled down by the workbench (which Vize had ignored since there was more space on the floor), without taking her eyes off of Silver, although she was now trying to watch Amy at the same time, nodded quickly. " Y-yes, abas..." The girl then turned, and dashed up the stairs. Vize watched this exchange, as well as the one between Silver and Amy, and his eyes narrowed in faint annoyance as Zack's threat registered. "Hey, I plan to help out, don't lump me in with these guys."

@barby@ "What does THAT mean?" she asked, more like DEMANDED an answer from Vize. Great, and now it seems the old geezer is dumping them in some place. Barby thought they were better off just leaving; they're never going to find that girl at this rate.

Amy 'hmph'ed at everyone, mostly Silver, but she did lower her hammer. "..." She wanted to say something, but the pink hedgehog couldn't really think of anything of value to actually say. Or rather, she could, but that would likely piss off the grouchy echidna further.

@segajulie@ Meanwhile, the still dazed pangolin had sat herself upright, and appeared to be trying to get her bearings. She didn't necessarily seem injured or confused, but still had a slight wobble to her posture.

The tenrec put his hands up defensively. "I'm not planning on causing any trouble. Heck, half of me isn't even working enough for me to make trouble with anyway!"

Zachary glanced between Dash and Vize, frowning slightly before turning away and placing the power stone on a nearby desk. "Then I suppose you'd better hope everyone plays nice with each other, hmm? You," he turned back and pointed at Dash. "Get on the work bench. I don't have all day." Lance groaned, grabbing Julie by an arm and giving her a tug. "Come on, get up. Or else I'm copping a feel."

At the mechanic's remark, Dash turned to give a dirty look towards his companions. They'd better not mess this up- he NEEDED to be able to at least WALK, for chaosake! Look given and hoping it was seen and the message understood, the tenrec hobbled over to the bench and propped himself onto it. After a moment of thought, he flexed his mechanical hand (his organic one still sporting an impressive chao bite), and looked to Zachary. "I'd hate to ask you to do even more, but my main weapon is down.. is there anyway I could get that fixed too?"
