"I am unaware of any 'Julian' Robotnik. Gerald is the only Robotnik I've known." Pause. Well, there was that girl that was related to Gerald in some manner or another, but... well, her name was... Maria? Yes, Maria. Not Julian. And not worth mentioning, either.

Zachary just stared at the strange glimmering creature for a long, awkward moment. It didn't make sense; if his understanding was correct the two humans had been a huge focal point for the media during the Great War, though it had been Julian who received most of the attention. Not even mentioning the immediate war Julian started afterward. Suddenly, he began to chuckle. "Ahh ha ha, I get it, you're trying to pull my leg, right? No idiot could know about Gerald and not know about Julian."

If he had a mouth, he'd be frowning. However, he didn't, and instead the only real show of emotion from him was a furrowing of his brows and a slight darkening of his green, predatory eyes. "Gerald is the only Robotnik I have known. I have not even heard of Julian." A small fire of rage re-enlighted in Doom's mind. Gerald was the first domino that fell to his current state of affairs, after all.

Though she remained silent, Tikal also found the exchange to be bizarre. How can someone know of one without the other? Or if they were to only know one, how could they not know Julian, the one we're currently at war with? The echidna girl remained silent, and simply folded her arms behind her back.

And now the echidna was back to staring at him like he were crazy. It made absolutely no sense! Unless... unless perhaps... "Wait. You said you're some kind of genetic experiment?"

His expression seemed to darken a bit. "Was Gerald the one responsible for you then? I heard he was involved in biological and chemical warfare."

LETS THINK ABOUT THAT. "Yes." Sanity and logic: 0 Never ending hatred and distorted world view: 1! Internally, Doom could feel Mephiles rolling his eyes. Once again you've proven I'm the only one here with common sense.It is the truth! Were it not for Gerald's betrayal, I would not be in my current situation! Except judging by this person's expression that wasn't the answer he wanted to hear.

Not the answer he wanted to hear indeed. Zachary frowned, his expression becomming darker still. "Tikal..." he said, glancing at the younger echidna, "Why don't you go and alert any others around to come out so we can figure out who's missing and who isn't?" he gave her a certain look that suggested there was more to his request then he was willing to say out loud. "I'll... continue to tend to our guest here."

The young girl nodded. "Yes, sir." Tikal turned to carry out her instructions... and promptly disappeared as she walked straight into a portal. A faint yelp was all that remained of her a second later, but soon that had vanished, too.

Zachary looked up as well and pointed at the spot Tikal was just in. "What just happened?"

"I do not know." Doom pondered. That did look rather familiar to that light he'd seen before he'd ended up in the swamp. Perhaps it was connected? ... was the girl in the swamp now?

That's when things began to click together in the echidna's mind. Obviously this was where his village's residents were disappearing - wherever that strange light went. Just how many others were left? Or was he the only one now? "So you're trying to tell me," Zachary began speaking, "you show up here out of the blue telling me that overlander made you, now my village's residents are apparently disappearing into thin air, and you have no idea why? Just who are you, anyway?"

"Ah, that is right. I've not yet properly introduced myself." Doom bowed, but only enough to be considered proper. "I am Black Doom. I recognize the connotations such a name may have, though I assure, my appearance and the apparent disappearances of your fellows are not related." Hey. Forgetting someone? Doom rolled the body's eyes and 'sighed'. "... and I should also most likely introduce my other half, Mephiles."

To this, Zachary's brow quirked. "Your... other half?"

Zack eyed him (them?) critically for a moment. He then sighed in exasperation and ran a hand over his face. "Alright. I'll give you that. But I still don't get how you don't know about Julian."

"I simply do not know any Julian Robotniks. I am aware of an Ivo Robotnik, however, but he does not go by that name." Mephiles gaze was once again drawn to the gem on the ceiling. It wasn't a chaos emerald, but it definitely had something to it...

The air between Doom and the gem was suddenly obscured by one of the very portals the being had been talking about, spitting out... a squirrel. "PLEASE LET ME LAND ON SOMEBODY FAAAAAT!" Unfortunately, the only person he would possibly be landing on... would be rather spiky. But hopefully, Doom would move. Hopefully.[dice=6] [rand=5953435095264638233801993406588253328316787670446591388456442691]

was miraculously, mostly unharmed, except for a few bruises and scrapes. It seems he'd managed to hit in such a way he was being supported by Meph's spikes, with only a few blunt, shortened spikes poking him. Not that this matters, as he seemed to be quite stunned. "Shumoddy gedda name uh dat shemi?" And then the squirrel finished his fall, peeling off of Meph's crystalline body and hitting the ground with a soft thump.

Doom's gaze followed the falling squirrel, and it remained even after the squirrel lied prone on ground. After a moment, Doom poked the rodent with a foot. "..." Mephiles, meanwhile, was laughing in the back of Doom's mind. What was THAT?!A large furry earth creature.Poke poke.

Zachary shook his head, a flurry of questions racing through his mind. One question was paramount however as he kneeled down beside the squirrel (and subsequently shot a glare at Doom). "Hey, are you alright?"

The squirrel opened his eyes slowly, partly from being poked, and partly from Zack's question, and presence right next to him. "Dr... Zachary? Is that you?" The squirrel sat up quickly, looking himself over, just before clutching his head. "Nngh... that's... not pleasant."
