Rotor's Workshop- The Techhead

[AnT]

Sally leading Espio through a path between a valley of trash. The junk yard is where the detectives arrived, and a lucky thing for them that this junk yard only holds mechanical junk...otherwise, they wouldn't survive the smell. On the top of the hill stood an aged and rusty airplane hanger.

"That's his workshop."

[YolkaEd]

Espio took in his surroundings, looking to the left and right with relatively small interest. "I suppose it's best to keep a workshop in a remote location such as this, with maniacs like Eggman, government officials and G.U.N around, espcially if he possesses the technology to translate the hieroglyphs." he said, as he fixed his eyes at the hangar Sally was pointing out.

[AnT]

Sally nearly smirked. No way her friend would think of that when he built his workshop here. "Actually, he put his workshop here because he thinks this place is spare part heaven."

Sally arrived near the hanger doors, where there's a normal door in it. Next to that door was a security biometric security lock, without the PIN buttons. There was a tiny speaker on it.

"Password needed," and electronic voice said.

She's kind of embarrassed...for her friend...to say this in front of Espio, but... "uh...Boomer loves fish-sticks!"

And the door opened.

[YolkaEd]

Espio's face remained neutral, but in reality, he was fighting the temptation to start laughing at the completely absurd password needed to access the workshop. "Most peculiar password." he said with a calm tone, having supressed the laughter wish. "But also very convenient. I should get Vector to reinforce such a password."

[AnT]

Already inside, Sally explored the very 'messy' hanger. So many strange machines placed on tables, it was almost like the hanger was covered in junk. Sally was so glad he, at least, keep his junk OFF the floor. Also, there were many tubes and wires hanging from the ceiling.

And also some loud music was heard, much to Sally's annoyance. "ROTOR!!!!" She can see sparks fly from behind the tables of junk.

: "Your fears and paaaaaaaaain!!"

Smirking, Sally rolled her eyes. She wasn't one to speak her mind, but she wished she tell Rotor to stop using his 'award-winning' singing around her. With that, Sally walked around the tables, until she found the person she searched, sitting in front of a strange machine, full of wires.

"PUT YOU RIGHT BACK WHERE YOU CAAAAAAAAAME!!!!" That person was a stout purple walrus, treating a wielding gun like a guitar.

[YolkaEd]

Espio was clutching the sides of his head due to the infernal singing coming from the walrus. "And here I thought Vector was a horrible singer." Espio thought, as he sat down on the floor, legs crossed, waiting for Sally to do something about the walrus.

[AnT]

I don't like to do this but... Sally marched up to the happy walrus and kneel to his 'ears'. "ROTOR!!!!!!!!"

"AAAAAGH!!!!!" the wielding torch bounced on his hands, but thankfully, Rotor controlled it in his grip. Amazing he didn't set it off, too. "Whew! S-Sally, why you?" Realizing the means for her wake-up call, Rotor turned off the boombox next to his feet.

"Sorry about that. I'm glad that you're here, though. I tuned up the engines on the Acorn Zoot." Rotor tapped the strange machine, which appeared to be some type of crude hover-craft. Think one of those racers from Star Wars, Episode 1. "This baby will reach more altitude now!"

"Uh, that's great, Rotor, but I'm afraid we're here on business."

"We?" Rotor leaned over to her side, noticing the purple chameleon.

[YolkaEd]

"The name's Espio." Espio said, stretching his hand towards the walrus named Rotor. "Espio the Chameleon, Chaotix. You must be the one Sally spoke of." he added, straight to the point, blunt and simple.

[AnT]

"Uh..." Hesitantly, being the shy one, Rotor shook his hand. "Hello."

"Rotor, is that extractor finished? We need it to translate this. Nicole, display file: Mystic1."

"Displaying, Sally!" And a hologram of the tablet photo appeared between Sally and Rotor.

Rotor, leaning closer, blinked at the image. "Sally...you didn't sneak a picture of-"

Sally shook her head, violently. "NO!!! Rotor, Dr. Eggman stole this tablet! I managed to take this-"

"DR. EGGMAN???" Rotor stood up straight, frowning. "Say no more!!!" Rotor jumped on a wheel-chair, letting it carry him to a nearby desk. Rotor pulled out the drawers of the desk's, searching through them. He seemed to be muttering angrily about something.

[YolkaEd]

Tilting his head, Espio leant closer to Sally to whisper something in her ear. "Does he bear great hatred against Doctor Eggman as well? Just a hunch."

[AnT]

"He believes Dr. Eggman is an insult to all lovers of technology everywhere, and should've used his genius for the benefit of mankind."

"Found it!!" Rotor pulled out a small gold ring; a ring that had a illusional image of a CD center piece, those clear pieces found on all CD discs. "Sally, are you sure this thing will contain knowledge of the hieroglyphics?"

"My father said it contains information of just about any ancient language. So it should."


Rotor shrugged, "Alrighty!" And he rolled his seat over to another table. This one had a machine that looked like a coffee maker with a piece of a CD player on it. After Rotor placed the ring on the 'CD player', he rolled over to a computer.

[YolkaEd]

Espio walked over to the machine which Rotor had placed the ring on, and began investigating it. "Never have I seen such a machine anywhere..." he mused, before noting the ring. "That looks familiar." he said to himself.

[AnT]

"Well Rotor just built that from ju---wait...what do you mean that looks familiar?" She was quite puzzled of the reason. Espio shouldn't know of that special data ring. It's impossible. Not unless...

[YolkaEd]

"I was talking about the design." Espio said, rubbing his chin. "It was one of the components neccessary to bring down Eggman and his mechanic companion, Metal Sonic, when Chaotix teamed up with Knuckles the Echidna. Although it wasn't a ring like this, it was fairly special."

[AnT]

"Oh..." Well, that was a relief for her. For a second there, Sally thought Espio knew her father, and-

"Alright, Sally! It works!!" Rotor pointed at the monitor, showing windows pouring. "The extractor downloaded all the data-ring's data!"

"Wonderful!!" That ring couldn't be scanned from any computer, not even Nicole. Rotor had to build that extractor from junk just to get the data out. "Nicole, download all ring-data files from extractor computer, into main server!"

"Downloading, Sally." Green holographic screens pulled out of the computer, into Sally's pockets. 8
