???: I've come to make an announcement! I am the genius Dr. Eggman, and I have come to offer the captain of the AST some new information about Sonic.

Ryouko:  Of course, Doctor. We heard great stories about you and how you decided to rebuild the Freedom Fighters and continue their legacy despite your differences.

Eggman: Of course, Sonic has taught me to help people when they're in need. I... want to honor my old friend by saving people, but...trying to eliminate the spirits is something I cannot do. Sonic taught me that Freedom is everyone's right, and eliminating spirits just sounds cruel! I hope that Commander Tower will agree with me.

Ryouko: Times have changed, Robotnik. The spirits are dangerous.

Eggman: But how do you know that? You just assume that they're dangerous because of the destruction they cause when they appear! How can you assume that they're being forced into our world?

Ryouko was silent. Eggman saw this and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Eggman: I understand that being captain is difficult, but maybe you should rethink your tactics a bit, don't you think...niece?
