Tornado-tan lead Knuckles to the living room, and looked sharply at a big framed signed poster of Sonic, with Tails at his side. It slid aside, and a set of concealed doors opened, revealing a cage-like construction elevator. "Hologram, remember, I can't touch anything, but since Tails has the whole house wired for remotes, I'm still okay."<br/><br/>Leading him into the elevator, she triggered it and they started downwards. "Please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times."<br/><br/>After several levels of native rock, and closed elevator doors, they came into an open frame gantry that looked out on a large underground chamber, lit by batteries of lights. Robotic machinery and worker droids moved about, work was being done on a half built battleship vehicle surrounded by supports and frames in the centre, and various bays around the edge were scenes of furious activity as automated manufacturing cells wiorked on various assignments.<br/><br/>Along the back wall was a row of smaller vehicles, and a vehicle sized lift that went into the ceiling. Among them were the Sea Fox, and the Hyper Tornado. When they reached the floor, Tornado-tan lead Knuckles out and around to one of the quieter bays, stopping for a moment to admire her true body.<br/><br/>"Tails has built many machines, but I've always felt I was his favourite. He does maintenance on me and washes me personally, doesn't leave it to the droids. I love the way he polishes my undercarriage, and tweaks my servos." She blushes slightly, "And he's so gentle when he gets in my cockpit... Sorry, we were here to get you scanned."<br/><br/>The machine in the recess was dormant, but it lit up as Tornado-tan approached. It looked disturbingly like a robotisciser, the focus a tall transparent tube capable of holding a Mobian, surrounded by banks of machinery. An open pad stood nearby, and a table with some handheld devices on.<br/><br/>"Please get up on the pad for your scan."<br/><br/>&&&<br/><br/>Meanwhile up on the surface.<br/><br/>"A time stone! I thought they were just a legend..." Tails turned to Sonic. "Apparently she's a time traveller, decended from Shadow, who came back to warn us of some catastrophe. Uh... hang on..."<br/><br/>He opened the understairs cupboard and started pulling out stuff. "Umbrella... boots... disrupter cannon... overcoat... scarf... Extreme Gear board... spare sneakers... micro-fusion warhead, how did that get there? ... aha! My old multi-scanner!"<br/><br/>He pulled out a hand-sized computer terminal, and pointed it at the newcomer. It whirred and bleeped for several seconds, and the young fox examined the read-outs. "Well I'm getting unusual energy readings, chronometric particles, quantum flux... and the genetic pattern..." He moved the sensor over to Shadow, "Hmmm, I'm getting matches, there's a lot of somatic variation, but it's certainly not inconsistent with Shadow being one of her grandfathers... I'd need a scan of Amy to see if she's one of Cybele's grandparents, or if the appearance is just a co-incidence. As far as I can tell, her story checks out."<br/><br/>In turning to face them, the sensor scans over Sonic.<br/><br/>(OOC: And the question is, ArrancarX5, do we get a similar grandpa match for Sonic? Also, does the scan reveal any robotic parts or anything else unusual?)
