They're... Tickling machines? That's strange...
But I think they're much nicer then the monsters were.

Nee~ Sue-chan~~~ How are you doing?

I am alright. I've been trying to keep busy with building things.

How are you, Sonic? Are you doing well?

There's so many mechanics here! It's too bad that Tails had to miss it~

I'm spiffy! Breaking some of the robots, chillin' with friends, that sort of stuff. Ne, Sue-chan? Did you hear about the performance thing on the 30th?

We should do your song for everyone. &hearts

Is Tails a mechanic too?

P-Performance? In front of people?
I... Don't know if I'd be any good...

Yup. He made the 'Tornado' a while back. Turned into a plane and a go-kart. It was really handy, let me tell you.

Don't worry about it Sue~ I'll go up with you, so then you're not alone when you perform. And your song's pretty, they'll definitely like it.

Oh, wow. That sounds complicated.

...You really think so?
I think I could do it... So long as you're there. It's not so frightening with a friend, I think...

Yea, I never understood it myself. [nervous laugh]

I know so!
And I'm not going to abandon you halfway~ I'll go up there with you and play on my guitar and you can sing. &hearts

Well... That doesn't sound so bad.
Thank you, Sonic. You're very nice.

It's no prob, Sue-chan. I'm going to be performing with some other people as well!

&eharts~

I'd like to watch you perform...
I've never really been to a live performance before, either.

[a slightly longer than usual pause]

Then this'll be a good experience, ne? [laugh] And I'll work extra hard to make my performance good for you, Sue-chan~

They're not dangerous?

I don't think they're supposed to be.

That's not the job they were given.

What is their job?

Their memory just says they're to follow the orders of Jack Spicer.

But I don't think they're very good at it sometimes.

... Why are they supposed to follow Jack Spicer's orders?

Really?

I think he programed them that way.

Yes.

Why?
