SEGA Presents | Sonicronpa: The Eggperial Experiment

"Hҽʅʅσ? Iʂ ƚԋιʂ ριҽƈҽ σϝ ɾυႦႦιʂԋ ɯσɾƙιɳɠ?"

An irritated, scratchy voice echoed from the outdated tape recorder. A small logo was printed on its cartridge, that being the Starline Empire's coat of arms. A badge of its autocrat himself. Finally, the Doctor seemed to get his act together, and the voice became clearer, and more sophisticated.

"That should do it." The platypus cleared his throat before continuing with his monologue. "I am very pleased to announce that Operation: Conquest was a resounding success. The fall of Empire City has triggered a subsequent collapse of Team Sonic's hegemony... and the beginning of mine."

Starline snickered. Everybody had always viewed him as an underling. A pawn for Dr. Eggman's great game of cat-and-mouse. Now, however... now, he had risen to the top, forcing Robotnik into exile and assuming the position of "Emperor of All Mobius"... the tyrant of the Starline Empire.

"...Now... a Badnik task force reported back to me coordinates of what seems to be the Resistance's last headquarters in existence. All others have been seized by the Imperial Army or abandone. To take down Base Freedom would mean to capture those I've wished to challenge on their honor for years. Sonic, Tails... all of them. Even that traitor Eggman... I'm confident we can track him down. He's outnumbered and defenseless."

Overtime, the transmission gradually began to dim in audibility, and the quality worsened. Evidently, communications were not Starline's strong-suit.
