Synthetic (Silver the Hedgehog x Reader)

They met back up in the main chamber the next morning to discuss breaking into Fia's facility. Kendra was already talking with a few of her colleagues, a rough blueprint laid out across the table. 

"Breakfast is over here," the cat said as (Y/n) and Silver entered the room. The (a/t) kept her eyes trained on the floor, only looking up to give their host a nod of thanks as she followed her directions to get her food. "Okay, so we've been taking into account the fact that we have two telekinetics now, but we're still not going to rely entirely on you." 

"That's good, because Fia subdued us both before," (Y/n) said. 

"Noted," Kendra said, tracing her hand through a tunnel and making some hand signals. (Y/n) eyed her hands then looked up at the person the cat was looking at. He was staring at her hands, then nodded and made some hand signals of his own. 

"He's...deaf?" she asked, pointing at the male Mobian who had finished signing. 

"Yeah," Kendra said. "He's going in first."

"Why?"

"Because Fia has a frequency that goes out for several miles that paralyzes anyone within range. You can't hear it, so you don't know when it's coming, but it triggers something in the nervous system that practically shuts it down. Since he can't hear it, though, he can go in and disable it." The cat reached down and retrieved something that resembled an eyeglass with something that would fit on the Mobian's ear. "He can receive instructions through this." 

"This is...this is kind of cool," (Y/n) said, looking around. "Is there anyone else like him?" 

"Yeah, actually. Fia has some security for each of the five senses, so we're trying to fool as many as possible." 

"Wait, taste and touch?" Silver asked. 

"Yep," Kendra said, smiling. "The fox is creative, you've got to give her credit." 

"So, what are they?" (Y/n) asked. 

"You know the one for hearing, she has something that can blind you and around that sector of her facility, she's got several of her pets positioned, so as soon as you're blind and defenseless, they'll strike. The one for smell is basically a scent that can paralyze you like the frequency if you somehow manage to make it past that. 

"The touch one is after that. It's a narrow tunnel that is practically impossible to get down without walking. Even a feather brush will trigger it, so Fia keeps fans running to keep everything off it. That's where you guys are going to head in, since you can fly. But you'll have to be really careful about it." Kendra stopped, rubbing her chin. "And the best one is the taste one. If you make it past everything else, this is her last resort. It's a tiny, almost microscopic robot that will come and wedge its way into your mouth. It lands on your tongue and distributes probably the most disgusting thing you'll ever taste in your life to your tongue and it almost completely shuts you down. Which is what these are for." She lifted up full face masks equipped for the scent, sight, and taste senses. 

"Cool," (Y/n) said, taking the mask Kendra offered her. "Quick question. How do you know all this?" 

"While Fia was developing her security system, we went in to spy on her. We managed to get in through the vents several times, which is why she started putting the vent guards into them to keep us out. She also made the vent line stretch out for at least a mile away from her facility so that anyone trying to get in couldn't get straight into the facility using the vents. We managed to map out the place a little bit, but these are pretty old, so I can't guarantee how accurate they'll be." She pointed at the blueprints. 

"Okay, so now we got describing the security out of the way, what's the actual plan?" Silver inquired, stepping up and studying the blueprint. 

"Okay, so as far as we know, the sense securities come one after the other. We're not sure which order, but we should be able to identify when we get there. All we know is the hearing one comes first. She'd like to have her victims paralyzed first so she can fetch them. Reminder, she has pets waiting at each interval to collect the people who get ensnared in her traps. So, Dylan over here will take out the hearing system first, but we have about one minute to follow in after him before the alarms will reach the monsters and we're toast."
