"So, what do you guys think...?"

Orbot examined himself in the mirror.
Gone was his clearly robot form, now replaced with a sleek design that looked fully organic mobian ferret in appearance.
Weapons laid under the surface, so many different gadgets he'd forgotten some of the things she'd said he could do.

"...It's a little odd, to be honest... It'll take some getting used to." He adjusted the glasses she'd given him. "These are just decorative, right?"

"They have sensors built into them, but if you're asking if you don't really need them to see, then no, you don't."

"This is so cool...!" Cubot spun around in front of his own mirror with a grin, his form resembling a mouse. "I don't have to act all stupid anymore! I can be whatever I want!"

"Well you don't have much time to admire your new looks. You've got mission training in the morning."

Orbot's ears pricked. "Mission?"

"Training?" Cubot asked.

"You didn't really think I'd give you new bodies then let you leave without giving me something in return, did you?"
The lynx smirked. "You two have been initiated into a highly confidential government agency. We work under the radar alongside GUN, to work on specialized cases that they can't send an ordinary agent in to deal with."

"We're secret agents?" Cubot grinned. "Sweet! What's our first mission!?"

"That'll be explained once you're deemed ready." She shook their hands. "You call me Memory. Welcome to the Metallix, Ore and Cue..."

Ore grinned, "It's nice to be here, Memory..."

Prison Island.

Once the greatest prison for all felons, it was now a smouldering husk of a landmass, remnants of an attack years ago that shattered the island's reputation and usefulness.

The sky above it was cloudy, a light shower of rain coming down on the burned remains of the prison.
In the few years that had passed, wildlife had flourished, and now birds and squirrels built nests and stashes of nuts in the cracked walls.

But deep down, in a bunker below the surface, a computer stood unharmed by the explosions caused by Eggman's retrieval of a certain black-and-red hedgehog.

Suddenly the screens of the computer flashed on, images of news stories flying by. Headlines like Eggman's Reign of Tyranny Over and Hero Missing after Epic Final Battle came and went, then the screens turned green, glowing ominously in the darkness as a deep, electronic voice vibrated the walls.
