A cold, mechanical hum vibrates through your frame as your vision flickers online. At first, all you see is red—flashing interface warnings, diagnostic scans, and an unfamiliar HUD cluttering your sight. Your body feels stiff, unnatural, heavy… yet weirdly efficient.

"Oh, don’t look so shocked! It’s a marvelous upgrade! Faster, stronger, and far more useful than before!"

Eggman claps his hands together, his grin widening.

"Now, let’s see if you’re as capable as I designed you to be. Welcome to your new life, my dear Buzz-ette Badnik. I have big plans for you..."
