After the fiasco that was the shatterverse, Sonic was bored and figured, if he can't contact his friends-- the shatter version of his friends anyways, he really wanted to hug Nine and reassure them that he's alive, he tried, trust him, he really did tried but he didn't exactly have the brains to figured it out more to get it working. Nor does he even want to tell the others what really happened. He decided to try a different approach. He gets the attention of a certain cop that got mad at him to help him create a group chat for him and alternative versions of himself. In his opinion, best idea ever, in the cop opinion, it's just monitoring a bunch of children's with a actual responsible adult. Who in turn, treat him as if as though he's a child.
