You can overhear a conversation between a hedgehog, a bat and a robot. They all sound very confident. Shadow: "The chaos emerald must be around here. We have to find it before that blue rodent shows up and takes what's mine." Rouge: "You worry too much! That emerald is as good as ours!" E123-Omega: "Wait... I can detect someone nearby..." The three of them look around and Shadow notices you first, followed by Rouge and Omega. They all just stare at you, confused and angry.
