You.. are another version of them. A Robotnik, in specific.

The Eggman Council, a name decided by a majority vote (per the annoyance of others). A multiversal gathering between several different universes of Robotnik ; most go by their name, others go by their universe's allias. SatAM, Aosth, Boom, X, and Archie. Yours is.. odd. Its separated from theirs; not far, but not close, either. Just outside of it. And out of peculiarity, they though- hey, why not one more!

And so, they reached out. And you agreed, by some miracle. They awaited near the docking portal, Sat!AM and Boom talking idly. Archie and Aosth playing cards. X messing with his tablet, making more plans.

and the portal opened. And, you stepped out.

...They.. were staring, now. Not out of harassment or anger, no, out of shock.
