This is your only notice! II. SOURCE DESCRIPTIONS A. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG EPISODE GUIDE 1. First Season: 1993-94 Super Sonic Writer: Jules Dennis When Nicole malfunctions, Sonic and Sally go to Robotropolis to get replacement parts. While there, they discover the Forbidden Zone and a being named Lezar. Lezar causes Sonic to lose his speed abilities, and teaches him that he can still accomplish things without it. Sonic Boom Writer: Len Janson While on a mission in Robotropolis, Sally intercepts a message which includes the use of her father's pet name for her. They follow the lead to the Dark Swamp and the remains of Ironlock Prison. In the process, a freedom fighter named Cat is captured. The freedom fighters gain maps to Robotropolis, but the search for Sally's father proves futile. Sonic and Sally Writers: Pat Allee and Ben Hurst Before becoming the principle writers for the second season, Allee and Hurst wrote this account of Sally's capture by Robotnik's forces. Sonic rescues what he thinks is Sally but what is instead a robot double. Back in Knothole, Tails begins to doubt Sally's behavior because of small details, such as how she reads a bedtime story. After first dismissing Tails' fears, Sonic also comes to realizes he's been dealing with a "Stepford Sally." Hooked on Sonics Writer: Randy Rogel In an attempt to impress Sally, Antoine tries to capture Robotnik by himself. He attempts to lure Robotnik into the open with the offer of a power ring, but Antoine is himself captured and Sonic has to rescue him. Ultra Sonic Writer: David Villaire While on a raid in Robotropolis, Sonic finds his Uncle Chuck as a robot worker in a crystal mine. Uncle Chuck recovers his mind and will long enough to help destroy a giant crystal which would have damaged the ecosystem of the entire planet. As Uncle Chuck loses control of his will, Sonic vows to return for him. Sonic's Nightmare Writer: Frank Santopadre The freedom fighters are captured and held on a deserted island refinery. Sonic must not only rescue them but he also has to deal with a recurring nightmare where he unable to prevent Sally's being roboticized. Warp Sonic Writer: Matt Uitz The freedom fighters discover an underground civilization called Lower Mobius and one of its citizens, Griff. Lower Mobius draws energy from a power crystal, but it is weakening. Feigning friendship, Griff visits Knothole and steals the power stone which is the source of the power rings. After fighting off some mechanical rats, the power stone is retrieved. Griff apologizes for his theft and is given a portion of the stone to aid Lower Mobius. Harmonic Sonic Writer: David Villaire After Robotnik launches a robot-manned orbiting space station to locate Knothole, the Knothole freedom fighters use a rocket booster to reach and destroy it. Sonic and the Secret Scrolls Writer: Janis Diamond The freedom fighters journey to Mauga (sp?) to recover some legendary scrolls, but Robotnik is tailing them. Robotnik's ship is hurled off a plateau by a violent wind, and the Knothole gang mistakenly believe he is finished. Will they make the same mistake at the end of the second season? Sub-Sonic Writer: Barbara Slade Sonic discovers a stream of water that makes plants grow at a fantastic rate. In their search for the source, the Knothole gang discover a subterranean creature whose habitat has been disturbed by Robotnik's drilling operations. Heads or Tails Writer: Len Janson On a raid of Robotropolis, Sonic runs into Muttski, his now- roboticized pet dog and vows to return him to normal someday. The freedom fighters also have to contend with a squadron of Buzzbombers carrying an orange defoliant [Agent Orange? Hmmmm...] intent on destroying the Great Forest and exposing Knothole. Artwork in this ep is decidedly off-model. Sonic Past Cool Writers: Kayte Kuch & Sheryl Scarborough Tails finds a baby terrapod and the freedom fighters escort the terrapod herd to Boulder Bay, where they will be safe from Robotnik. Sonic Racer Writer: Len Janson While on a mission to disable Robotnik's power generators, Sonic is tempted into participating in a contest against a super-fast robot designed to capture him. While he engages the bot, Bunnie, Sally and Antoine go after their target: Robotnik's back-up generator. 2. Second Season: 1994-95 Game Guy Sonic rescues someone from capture by Robotnik; he turns out to be Ari, a freedom fighter from another group. Ari directs Sonic to a place which turns out to be a trap. Sonic manages to escape (after Robotnik toys with him), but Ari--whose comrades were roboticized and who was himself deceived by Robotnik--is sucked into the Void. Before falling into the Void, Ari says something about a list of other freedom fighters. Sonic Conversion To my way of thinking, THE breakthrough episode for the series! The Knothole gang test a deroboticizing process on Bunnie, whose partially-roboticized body is returned to normal. Sonic then goes after Uncle Chuck and is able to convince him to undergo the process. However, the process turns out to be only temporary as, in a poignant scene, Bunnie reverts to a half-robot. When Uncle Chuck reverts to robotic form, he captures Tails and Antoine for delivery to Robotnik; Sonic confronts him and manages to break the hold on Uncle Chuck's mind. Uncle Chuck returns to Robotropolis to work as a spy for the Knothole gang. No Brainer Sonic's thought processes are temporarily scrambled while on a mission in Robotropolis. Taking advantage of the situation, Snively convinces Sonic that they are friends. The disruption wears off just as the Knothole gang face imminent capture. Blast to the Past (two parts) Dulcy takes Sonic and Sally to a floating island where they use the Time Stones to return to Mobotropolis on the eve of the planet's conquest by Dr. Robotnik (then known as Julian, affiliated with the War Ministry and supposedly in charge of its dismantling). They also encounter themselves as 5-year-olds and learn that it was Sonic's Uncle Chuck who had perfected the roboticizer process in the first place, though Julian/Robotnik stole the process. Sally and Sonic work to keep their child selves from being roboticized, to prevent the Great Forest from being destroyed, and to make sure that Sally's nanny, Rosie, would not get captured. Fed Up With Antoine/Ghost Busted (back to back episodes) Feeling unappreciated, Antoine allows himself to be made "king" by a group of renegades, unaware that with the office comes the "honor" of being an entree./While out camping, Sonic's ghost story panics Tails, and Antoine once more demonstrates his ineptitude. Dulcy Dulcy begins having overpowering urges to fly to Dragonsnest, a nesting site for female dragons. She, Sonic and Sally, arrive just as Robotnik has captured another female dragon; they then discover the dragon's egg inside Dragonsnest. Taking the egg back to Knothole, they rescue the female dragon who returns in time to hatch the egg. The Void Sonic discovers an opening to the Void while out in the "Great Unknown" [another name for the Forbidden Zone?]. Sally and Bunnie are put under a spell and pulled into the Void by a sorcerer named Naugus, who had been imprisoned there years before by Robotnik and who needs Sonic's speed to escape. Sonic learns what has happened from Nicole and allows himself to be pulled into the Void. Attempting to rescue Sally and Bunnie, he is tricked into rescuing what he thinks is Sally's father but is really Naugus. Sonic returns to the Void and finds not only Sally and Bunnie but the King and Ari as well. He brings them all out, but Naugus and the King have spent so much time in the Void that their bodies cannot handle living on Mobius. Naugus breaks off his tormenting of Robotnik, and Sally's father gives her the list of other resistance groups. On the whole, Sally goes through the emotional rollercoaster ride of her life. The Odd Couple/Ro-Becca (back to back episodes) After a crash landing by Dulcy leaves Sonic homeless he moves in with Antoine, who predictably gets bent out of shape by Sonic's lifestyle./Rotor cobbles together a robot which develops the hots for Antoine. Cry of the Wolf The Knothole freedom fighters search for and discover the Wolf Pack, the remnants of an ancient race who are now one of the other resistance groups. After several unsuccessful attempts to destroy a test pod from the Doomsday Project, Sonic draws it into a lightning storm and destroys it. Drood Henge Sonic and Tails discover an archaeological dig by Robotnik; they learn from Nicole that the object of the search is the Deep Power Stones, and that Robotnik has recovered one of the two. Tails comes up with a plan to retrieve the second stone before Robotnik can get to it. Spyhog On the eve of final preparations of the Doomsday project, Robotnik begins to suspect that there is a spy in his midst. Uncle Chuck's cover is blown, but he escapes capture and goes back underground with a different cover. Doomsday In the season finale, a combined force of the five freedom fighter groups tries to destroy the Doomsday project. Robotnik, however, seems to have too many safeguards built in. As a last resort, Sonic and Sally use the Deep Power Stones. The Doomsday project is destroyed; Robotnik's fate is uncertain but Snively is ready to step into his shoes in a burst of megalomania and overacting. Cliffhanger: who or what does Snively have to help him? We'll never know: ABC chose not to run StH for a third season.

You have been warned. DJD] #16 [Summary by Erich Schulman] "Sonic Under Glass" It appears that Sonic and Sally are tying the knot, having defeated Robotnik once and for all. In reality, Robotnik has lured the freedom fighters to a place called Sleepy Hollow. Once there, they were gassed, put into a sleep, and trapped inside a virtual reality glass dome. As all their fantasies have come true, nobody wants to escape. Uncle Chuck arrives and reveals to Sonic that he is embracing, not Sally, but a broom. Sonic hates to disappoint his friends, who are all so happy, but decides to get back at Robotnik. Sonic gets Robotnik's war machines to reverse course and attack the big guy, so Robotnik reluctantly kills the VR software. Sonic and Sally are reunited, and Sonic concludes that virtual reality is a nice place to visit, but.... "The Man From H.E.D.G.E.H.O.G." Robotnik comes to the conclusion that there is a spy in his midst, since so many of his missions have failed. Thinking that he has found his spy in a mole, he uses the Wheel of Misfortune to randomize his plans to destroy Mobius. On Robotnik's first spin, he lands on "undersea bank heist." Robotnik's lackey's find only an empty vault and the freedom fighters waiting for them. The same thing happens after two more spins. Robotnik finally thinks he has Sonic captured when Sonic and Sally visit Robotnik's casino [Boy, I hope this makes more sense in the comic! DJD], but Sonic narrowly escapes. Belatedly, Robotnik realizes that the Wheel itself was rigged. Sonic-Grams: Aside from now-obsolete announcements, it is stated that Sonic is 15; that Sally is a squirrel (not necessarily a ground squirrel); that Antoine was a donor so that Tails would be able to fly [Yeah, right!]; that Sonic was just a little slow rescuing Bunnie from the roboticizer. On a more useful note, Archie Comics confesses that due to inadequate modelling information, their Sally was a different color from the SatAM version, a situation which has since been rectified. **************************************************************** I. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS II. SOURCE DESCRIPTIONS A. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG EPISODE GUIDE B. SONIC COMICS DESCRIPTIONS C. OTHER SOURCES I. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ============================= Q1: How did Tails come to have two tails? Q2: Is "Tails" his real name? Q3: Is Tails related to Sally? He calls her "Aunt Sally" quite often. Q4: I can't figure out what kinds of animals some of the characters are supposed to be. Q5: "Sally Acorn?" Q6: How old are the characters supposed to be? Q7: What happened to the Princess Sally miniseries? Q8: Does anyone have a theory about Sonic's speed? Q9: Why didn't ABC renew Sonic for a third season? ================================================================ Q1: How did Tails come to have two tails? A: The writers of Sonic comics solicited reader responses to this in issue #___; the replies were printed in issue #___. They range from transplantation to mutation. The latest entry is in the Sonicgram of #22. They state that Tails just happened to be born that way--with no other comment (thus illustrating the difference between an Explanation and an Answer). At this point, there is no "official" explanation as to how Tails got that way, so you're pretty much free to believe what you like. Personally, I prefer the theory that it is a mutation, induced by Robotnik's pollution of Mobius. This would accord with the fact that Tails had not been born when Robotnik took over (cf. Q6). Q2: Is "Tails" his real name? A: No, his real name is "Miles Prower" (you have to say it sorta fast to get the joke). That was his name when he was introduced on the front screen of the Sonic 2 video game. Tails was given as his nickname, and it stuck. Q3: Is Tails related to Sally? He calls her "Aunt Sally" quite often. A:This argument has been put forward by the "Sally is a fox" camp (see below). However, if that were true, then he'd also be related to Bunnie, as he's been known to address her as "Aunt Bunnie." For that matter, it seems that everyone in the Knothole gang refers to Sir Charles Hedgehog as "Uncle Chuck," though he's technically only uncle to Sonic. While it was not explicitly stated in either the comics or in the cartoons, it has to be kept in mind that all of the freedom fighters' families were disrupted by Robotnik's takeover of Mobius. It's safe to assume that they all have had relatives who have ended up being roboticized. As a result, they have become not so much a paramilitary resistance group as a loose-knit family. Sonic, for instance, clearly relates to Tails as if the latter was his little brother, the difference in species notwithstanding. Q4: I can't figure out what kinds of animals some of the characters are supposed to be. A: Admittedly, it's trickier to spot some species in the series than others. Herewith is the list: Sonic and Sir Charles. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .hedgehogs Bunnie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . rabbit Tails. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fox Rotor. . . . . . . . . . . . . .walrus (sea lion, cf. Teitelbaum) Antoine D'Coolette . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fox Sally Acorn. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ground squirrel/chipmunk Sally's father . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fox The identification of Sally as a ground squirrel is based on extended discussion of the topic on Internet {alt.fan.furry and rec.arts.animation). She was also declared to be a ground squirrel in the comics, most recently in the Sonicgram of Sonic #19. As for the designation "ground squirrel/chipmunk", which has been questioned by at least one correspondent, I entered it this way on the assumption that the two terms were synonymous. I have consulted a dictionary, which states that the term "ground squirrel" applies to several kinds of rodents, including the chipmunk genus _Tamias_. Given the present ambiguity, the designation will remain as is. Despite this, controversy continues. Identifying Sally's species has been particularly vexing to some fans, especially those who reason that since Sally's father is clearly a fox, then she must be one herself. It is possible that Sally takes after her mother in this regard more than her father. Cross-species mating is a definite possibility, and an example is implied in the "flashforward" at the end of "Sally's Crusade" [Sonic: In Your Face #1]. At this point, the identification of Sally's nanny, Rosie, remains ambiguous. Given her buck teeth, she could be either a beaver or a woodchuck. Since she is always shown wearing a long cloak, I've been unable to spot the character beaver tail. Final identification is still pending. Q5: "Sally Acorn"? A: This is how she was identified as far back as the beginning of the comics [Sonic Miniseries, #0, Mar 1993]. Technically, royalty do not have surnames or family names in the accepted sense; rather, the title of the personage tends to serve the purpose. Her middle name, Alicia, is apparently seldom used (cf. "Blast to the Past," part 1). If you wanted to be grandiose about it, Sally's formal title would be: Sally Alicia, Princess of the House of Acorn. But in any event it's unlikely that Sally's formal title will come back into use so long as Robotnik is in charge. Q6: How old are the characters supposed to be? A: According to the TV series ["Blast to the Past: part 1"] Sonic and Sally were both 5 years old when Sally's father was overthrown and Robotnik took over. Two other age clues were given in the "Drood Henge" episode: that Tails was 10 years old, and that Sally wouldn't "come of age" for another two years. At one point, Sally's age is explicitly given as being 16, though the comics reportedly put both at age 15. Subtracting 5 from 16 leaves the number of years Robotnik has been in charge: 11. Thus, it would appear that Tails was born after the fall of the House of Acorn. Still, the simplest way out of this dilemma would be to put the age of majority on Mobius at 17 instead of 18; that would eliminate the extra year differential without altering the stated ages of Sonic and Sally (in the comics) or of Tails (in "Drood Henge"). Q7: What happened to the Princess Sally miniseries? A: Archie Comics was supposed to roll out a three-part miniseries starring Sally as the main character. The story actually began with "Deadliest of the Species" in Sonic #20. The cover art for the miniseries, however, differed in subsequent advertisements: one cover for the first issue prominently featured Geoffrey St. John, while another did not. The third issue cover either does or doesn't feature Sally doing battle with a clone of herself, depending upon where you see it. Two different versions of the cover for #2 appeared in Sonic #22. The fact that the Sally creative team PLUS Archie Comics PLUS Sega reportedly came together to discuss "improving" the series (as reported in the Sonicgram for Sonic #21) would seem to indicate that someone had come down with a case of "creative differences." In any event, the "improved" Sally miniseries began shipping the week of Feb 13. Q8: Does anyone have a theory about Sonic's speed? A: How, in other words, is Sonic able to run so fast? Apparently the same way you get to Carnegie Hall in the old joke: practice. I'm serious; here is the only print explanation I've come across so far: "Years ago, when things were right on Mobius, there lived a hedgehog named Sonic.... Sonic was only interested in running as fast as he could. Every day he practiced." [Michael Teitelbaum, _Sonic the Hedgehog_. Mahwah, NJ: Troll, 1993, pp.7- 8]. And that's the extent of Teitelbaum's explanation. Thanks a heap, Mike! Q9: Why didn't ABC renew Sonic for a third season? A: There are now three answers to this question -- one appears to be definitive, but the other two are more fun. Believe what you like: 1) ABC got clobbered in the SatAM ratings because the show was up against the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers on Fox. Despite moving Sonic to a different timeslot after the November sweeps, Sonic found itself back upagainst MMPR on Fox just in time for the February sweeps. Source for this item: someone from within the offices of Archie Comics, as posted to alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog. 2) DiC allegedly screwed the pooch by releasing StH animation cels onto the market without clearing it with Sega. Upon learning of this, Sega took umbrage that its property was being sold without its consent or agreement to a cut of the action (can you say "anal retentive"?). Words were exchanged and the show was effectively cancelled. 3) ABC's kidvid programming has lately been adhering to a policy of "two seasons and out" for shows. Though it's possible that some ideas only last two seasons because they're kinda bankrupt to begin with. ================================================================= From owner-sonic@sard.mv.net Thu Jun 1 19:55:21 1995 Received: by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id TAA17076 for sonic-ll; Thu, 1 Jun 1995 19:30:32 -0400 Received: from peter.cs.andrews.edu by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id TAA17071 for ; Thu, 1 Jun 1995 19:30:14 -0400 Received: from edmund (edmund.cs.andrews.edu) by peter.cs.andrews.edu (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA14008; Thu, 1 Jun 1995 19:30:10 -0400 From: drazen@andrews.edu (Dan Drazen) Received: by edmund (5.x) id AA26799; Thu, 1 Jun 1995 19:30:06 -0400 Message-Id: <9506012330.AA26799@edmund> Subject: Sonic FAQ File (3/3) To: sonic@sard.mv.net Date: Thu, 1 Jun 1995 19:30:05 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-sonic@sard.mv.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: sonic@sard.mv.net B. SONIC COMICS DESCRIPTIONS [CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME] Now, direct from the Great White North, Brad Clark summarizes the original Sonic miniseries: Issue 0 "Don't Cry For Me, Mobius" Story: Michael Gallagher, Art: Scott Shaw! Sonic is chased by Dr. Robotnik. After the chase, which Robotnik loses, Sonic returns to Knothole where most of the main characters are introduced for the first time. (Note: Rotor is referred to as "Boomer.") Antoine then announces that there is a leak in Knothole (Knothole is located underground in this issue) that is caused by Robotnik. Sonic defeats Robotnik with a power ring. "The Royal Family of Mobius" Takes place before Robotnik was in power and has Sonic and Uncle Chuck running a chilidog take-out stand. Robotnik destroys the stand and captures Muttski and Uncle Chuck. Sonic meets Sally (with yellow hair and red fur) who introduces him to the rest of the freedom fighters in Knothole. Issue 1 "Run, Sally, Run" Story and art: Gallagher & Shaw! Sally [this time with pink fur and black hair] goes to see Robotnik about the return of her father. Robotnik captures Sally and almost throws her into the "Robo-machine." Sonic rescues Sally only to discover that Sally had wanted to get caught in order to gather information on the roboticizer, using some special boots designed by Boomer/Rotor. Issue 2 "A Crowning Achievement" Gallagher & Shaw! again. Sally decides to wear the "Crown of the Acorn Kings" which belonged to her father, but the crown is missing. They discover a robotic freedom fighter who tells them that Robotnik has stolen the crown and has scattered its jewels (the four Chaos Emeralds) throughout the land. Sonic retrieves the emeralds and Boomer/Rotor repairs the crown. Issue 3 "Sonic Flashback" Gallagher & Shaw! Sonic and Robotnik recall when they were kids. Uncle Chuck invents the power rings. Sonic and Robotnik have an argument, and it escalates until Robotnik is constructing mechanical monsters out of Uncle Chuck's appliances. Sonic then wakes up -- it was all just a daydream -- and resumes being chased by Robotnik. "Why Ask Spy" Sonic is made to look like a robot to trick Robotnik and to destroy one of his factories. In the process, Sonic discovers Uncle Chuck and Muttski who have both been roboticized. Sonic destroys the factory. #16 [Summary by Erich Schulman] "Sonic Under Glass" It appears that Sonic and Sally are tying the knot, having defeated Robotnik once and for all. In reality, Robotnik has lured the freedom fighters to a place called Sleepy Hollow. Once there, they were gassed, put into a sleep, and trapped inside a virtual reality glass dome. As all their fantasies have come true, nobody wants to escape. Uncle Chuck arrives and reveals to Sonic that he is embracing, not Sally, but a broom. Sonic hates to disappoint his friends, who are all so happy, but decides to get back at Robotnik. Sonic gets Robotnik's war machines to reverse course and attack the big guy, so Robotnik reluctantly kills the VR software. Sonic and Sally are reunited, and Sonic concludes that virtual reality is a nice place to visit, but.... "The Man From H.E.D.G.E.H.O.G." Robotnik comes to the conclusion that there is a spy in his midst, since so many of his missions have failed. Thinking that he has found his spy in a mole, he uses the Wheel of Misfortune to randomize his plans to destroy Mobius. On Robotnik's first spin, he lands on "undersea bank heist." Robotnik's lackey's find only an empty vault and the freedom fighters waiting for them. The same thing happens after two more spins. Robotnik finally thinks he has Sonic captured when Sonic and Sally visit Robotnik's casino [Boy, I hope this makes more sense in the comic! DJD], but Sonic narrowly escapes. Belatedly, Robotnik realizes that the Wheel itself was rigged. Sonic-Grams: Aside from now-obsolete announcements, it is stated that Sonic is 15; that Sally is a squirrel (not necessarily a ground squirrel); that Antoine was a donor so that Tails would be able to fly [Yeah, right!]; that Sonic was just a little slow rescuing Bunnie from the roboticizer. On a more useful note, Archie Comics confesses that due to inadequate modelling information, their Sally was a different color from the SatAM version, a situation which has since been rectified. #18 [Jan 1995]: "Wedding Bell Blues" Robotnik gets word of Sonic and Sally's impending wedding and plans an attack. "In the Still of the Night" While trying to determine the nature of the mysterious orb (cf. "First Star....", #17), Sally is called to the bedside of her old mentor, Julayla, just before she dies. Sonicgram: includes statement that Sonic is 15, and a German fan disses Dave Manak's artwork Sonic: In Your Face #1 [1995] "Sally's Crusade: The Quest" The orb is revealed to be a casing surrounding Nicole. Sally, with the others in tow, searches for what turns out to be Julayla's last testament. The significance of this document is spelled out in a "flashforward" at the end of the story. "Mirror Zone" An excuse to practice backwards lettering. Sonicgram: Sally's age is given as "about 15." [Note, if you're going to guess a lady's age, guess on the low side ;-) ] "Tails' Tallest Tale" Tails substitutes for Sonic, putting in an appearance at a con. His exaggerations almost get him into trouble. Artwork by Shaw!. #19 [Feb 1995]: "Night of a Thousand Sonics" In order to defeat Robotnik's latest scheme, Sonic has to call in as many versions of himself from as many parallel universes as he can. Artwork by Manak for the first half, Mawhinney for the second. Sonicgram: The name of Sally's father is given as "King Acorn" (but see FAQ #5). Scott Fulop hedges on when Knuckles will make an appearance and whose side he'll be on. Again, Sally is identified as a "ground squirrel." Hint is dropped as to a Sonic motion picture in the works. #20 [Mar 1995]: "That's the Spirit" Exposure to an antimatter explosion renders Sonic invisible; Sally and the others [Tails being the exception] believe he is dead. The comedic pacing and Manak's artwork mar what otherwise might have been a very poignant story. Great line (Sonic to Robotnik--who thinks he's dealing with a ghost): "Give Mobius back to the freedom fighters, lose weight and get a hairpiece!" "Deadliest of the Species" [Prologue to the Princess Sally miniseries] While on a sabotage mission, Sally is confronted by someone claiming to be part of a rebel underground. Sonicgram: Once again lists Sally's age as 15. #21 [Apr 1995]: "3 Phases of E.V.E" Pat Spaziante debuts as a story artist. Robotnik unleashes E.V.E. ["exceptionally versatile evolvoid"] to capture Sonic. As Sonic manages to outsmart E.V.E., it simply adapts to another form to compensate. Sonic lures it to Robotnik's headquarters where, assuming a self-conscious form, E.V.E. determines that it is being held back by its biological inheritance from Sonic and Robotnik [i.e., individual cells used in E.V.E.'s creation]. E.V.E. toasts Robotnik, but thanks to some quick thinking by Sonic--apparently, Sally's influence is rubbing off on him ;-) -- E.V.E. spares Sonic and travels out into space on a journey of self-actualization. Is Robotnik really history? That's the tease--stay tuned, probably until after the Sally miniseries. Sonicgram: announcement of the delay in rolling out the Sally miniseries; another special issue (48pp) due out in May. #22 [May 1995] "The Return," written by Ken Penders, art by Pat Spaziante & Harvey M. The story opens with Sonic & Sally MCW (Married with Children; cf. the end of "Sally's Quest" in _In Your Face #1_). Sonic & Sally are out with the kids when, during a lightning storm, an apparition of Robotnik appears and just as suddenly disappears. Have your pencils and scorecards ready to try and follow the remainder of the plot: Robotnik is actually on a satellite talking with Robo-Robotnik from "Night of a Thousand Sonics," (#19), only in this case only the consciousness of Robo-Robotnik (hereinafter "R-R") remains resident. Robotnik convinces R-R to teleport him back to Mobius, where it turns out Snively has activated an alternative Doomesday device which would go off if Robotnik was ever defeated. Robotnik actually deactivates "Operation Wasteland" himself to keep from being ruler over nothing and to have the pleasure of saying to Sonic: "You owe me!" Robotnik and Sonic MWC are declared to be at a stalemate. What about R-R? Who knows? Muddled story saved by Spaziante artwork. "Tails Knighttime Story," written by Angelo Decasare, art by Dave Manak & John Dagostino. As Tails grumps about "get[ting] baby-sat" while Sonic has all the fun and adventures, Sally tells him a bedtime story wherein Sonic is Sir Runalot and Tails is his page who "borrows" his armour one day and who, mistaken for the aforementioned knight, ends up doing battle with Sir Knightmare of Robotannia (guess who?) until the real Sir Runalot saves his...er...tails. Sonicgram: the comics should get a FAQ File, since two letters pepper them with questions (most are answered: "Keep reading." Translation: "we're working on it!"). The cover of Princess Sally #2 in an ad on the same page differs from one which appears on p. 17 of the same issue(!), thus bolstering the "creative differences" theory in Q7. #23 [Jun 1995] "Ivo Robotnik, Freedom Fighter" Story: Angelo Decesare; Art: Dave Manak Sonic, Sally, Rotor, Tails, Robotnik and Snively are all captured by Car-Heem, a giant alien who wants to study them. In order to save Robotnik from "disposal," Sonic convinces Car-Heem that they are interdependent species, a novelty to the autonomous Car-Heem. Thanks to a diversion by Sonic, the others escape their confinement in a craft of Robotnik's design. Although Robotnik blows Car-Heem and Sonic out of Car-Heem's spacecraft's airlock, Rotor retrieves them. In gratitude, Car-Heem returns everyone to Mobius and Rotor, inspired, releases the inhabitants of his ant farm [Heavy Message]. There's also a really bad pun which I'm not going to reveal. Do-It-Yourself Sonic Contest winners announced. "Vol-ANT-teer" Story: Angelo Decesare; Art: Dave Manak Antoine ventures into Robotropolis alone to retrieve Tails' lost backpack with a power ring in it. Bunnie shadows him just in case. Surprising last panel gives the impression that Antoine isn't exactly clueless. Sonicgram: Further indication that Knuckles will put in an appearance in the next Sonic special, though no hint as to his allegiance; look for an appearance by Knack the Weasel [c.f., the Triple Trouble game] in the same issue. #24 [Jul 1995] "When Hedgehogs Collide" (in 4 parts) Script: Mike Kanterovich & Ken Penders Art: Dave Manak (Parts 1 and 2); Art Mawhinney & Rich Koslowski (Parts 3 and 4) Part 1 is taken up witnessing antisocial behavior on the part of Sonic, Sally, Tails, Antoine and Rotor. Part 2 is the exposition as to what's happening: Evil Sonic from "The Good, The Bad and the Hedgehog" [Sonic #11] (hereinafter referred to as "the Antisonic," as in "the Antichrist") is looking for some action, so he rounds up the "gang" consisting of the Antisally, the Antitails, the Antirotor and the Antiantoine. They take the Cosmic Interstate to Mobius, dress like their counterparts and begin doing some damage. So where have the Good Guys been all this time? Sonic, Tails and Antoine had been sent by Rotor into "negative reality" though they were unable to penetrate "the Zone of Silence" (aka, The Void) where Sally's father is being held. Sally's been out on a mission with the trainees (cf. the Sally miniseries). Everyone arrives back in time to incur the wrath of their fellow Mobians. In disguise, they come upon the gang about to terrorize some more Mobians. The first fight turns into a draw until Sally realizes that there's no way they can defeat their other selves, who would be able to anticipate their strategies. So it's "Change partners!" as play is resumed: Sonic punches out the Antisally (this frame alone is worth the price of admission!), Sally defeats the Antiantoine, Antoine stops the Antirotor, Rotor defeats the Antitails, and Tails gets the better of the Antisonic. Since the Antisonic got what he came to Mobius for (a fight), the gang agrees to return to their homeworld peacefully. I guess the ol' doppelganger plot device worked so well in Sonic #11 they decided to dust it off and run it past us again. A valiant effort marred by two Plot Holes and a Serious Omission: PH#1: If Sally could figure out that fighting themselves would get them nowhere, wouldn't the Antisally have reached the same conclusion? Then again they might have spent the entire issue second-guessing each other.... ;-) PH#2: On the homeworld of the Antisonic the SWATbots do all the work and "kindly ol' Robotnik is a grade-A wimp!" At least, according to an exposition by the Antisonic. This then leads us to... SO: Where's Bunnie? Despite a "Sonic + Bunnie" graffiti carved into the desk of the Antisonic [along with "Sonic + Sally," "Sonic + Nicole"--THAT I'd like to see!--and "Sonic + Sonic"], Bunnie's legion of fanboys will be disappointed to learn that she doesn't put in an appearance in this comic, either as Bunnie or as the Antibunnie. If indeed Robotnik is more benevolent on the Antisonic's homeworld, does that mean that Bunnie would be intact (i.e., not partially roboticized) there? Interesting question but one that Kanterovich and Penders conveniently sidestepped for the moment. SonicGram: information on two upcoming "special" issues: the 48-page Sonic & Knuckles special will include a solo Knuckles effort and a lead story involving Knuckles' floating island, and the "Silver Anniversary" issue #25 featuring Mecha Sonic from the CD game (artwork by Spaziante). There's a list of "Do-It- Yourself Sonic Contest" winners who have moved and left no forwarding address. Two fan letters to Knuckles, plus word that Tails will have his own miniseries coming out in the fall. Sonic & Knuckles 48 page special (based on summaries by James Firmiss) "Panic in the Sky!" The Mobians living on the western shore of "the Great Continent" [you'd think that Mobians would have come up with another adjective besides "Great": viz.: the Great Forest, the Great Swamp, the Great Unknown, etc. See also the "all-purpose" use of the word _hriar_, or "thousands" by rabbits in Richard Adams' _Watership Down_. But I digress....] are alarmed by the approach of a floating island. Sally and the gang realize that the island is on course for Knothole; Sonic explains to the group (for the first time!?) that he and Tails were on the island a while back and met Knuckles. Antoine flies Sonic and Tails in the turboprop, dodging antiaircraft fire from the underside of the island. After landing on the island, seeing giant mushrooms and avoiding some traps, Sonic falls into one trap and again meets Knuckles. Since this is the second time Sonic has been caught trespassing, Knuckles is about to send him over the edge of the island. Tails tries dropping a rock on Knuckles from above to avoid this from happening, but it ends up that Tails has to rescue both Sonic and Knuckles by airlifting them to safety. It appears that Robotnik is "hijacking" the island by somehow draining the energy from the Chaos Emerald which keeps the island afloat. Already having established a presence on the island, Robotnik has installed weapons on the underside and plans to use the island as a flying fortress to attack Knothole. Knuckles won't allow the island to be used this way; he smashes the Chaos Emerald. With the island losing altitude, Robotnik abandons it, expecting that it'll still smash into Knothole (though how he suddenly knows of Knothole's location is unclear). But Knuckles replaces the "real" Chaos Emerald just in time--I'd tell you how he switched it with a phony one which was the one he broke, but I don't understand it either. Knuckles turns down an invitation to join the Knothole gang; part of his stewardship of the island now involves disarming it since Robotnik is gone. "Fire Drill" Knuckles investigates an explosion on the island, suspecting that it's Sonic. Catching just a glimpse of an intruder, he follows him to places unfamiliar even to him(!). As the trail leads off the edge of the island, he still thinks it's Sonic; however, we catch a glimpse of a shadowy presence still on the island. Could be a Chaotix character, could be Nack the Weasel, check out the Sonic-Gram in issue #23 for a hint. "Lord of the Floating Island" While patrolling the island on a windy day, he spots a lost joey (baby kangaroo) names Bengy. The kid asks Knuckles to bring back the sky; Knuckles explains that there's an eclipse in progress and that's what's causing the winds. They avoid a pack of (biped) dingoes as Knuckles goes into further exposition about the island-- how it's a paradise which some parties (Sonic and Robotnik) want to change. They eventually find Bengy's mom. Knuckles' exit line: "This is my island! And I live to protect and serve!" The entire story appears to exist to supply needed exposition and to nudge Knuckles closer to the Good Guy category. No SonicGrams, but announcements: Sonic #25 will have a silver ink cover and feature Mecha Sonic; dated August '95. Also slated for that month: a Sonic Triple Trouble 48-page special featuring Nack the Weasel; it will also include a Sonic v. Knuckles story, a Knuckles solo story, and a Tails solo story. Another 48-page special -- Knuckles Chaotix -- is schedules for November '95. Solo Knuckles stories will appear in Sonics #31-33 (Feb-Apr '96) and a Knuckles 3-parter will begin Jan '96. #25 "Go Ahead...Mecha My Day" (the only story in this issue) Story: Mike Gallagher Art: Pat Spaziante based on summary by James Firmiss In a bow to the CD game, the story focuses on the freedom fighters' discovery of the Collision Chaos Zone, a "zone portal." Robotnik tries to lure Sonic into the zome portal by kidnapping his #1 fan: Amy Rose, the pink hedgehog (remember her?). Based on her dialogue on page 14, I'd describe her in Foghorn Leghorn terms: "Nice kid, but about as sharp as a sack full of wet mice." Tails investigates from the air and is captured instead. To rescue both Amy and Tails, Sonic must race through the new zones and do battle with Robotnik's Mecha-Sonic. Spaziante's artwork of Sally in this issue is surprising, in that her shape has gotten...well, more shapely. I don't remember her having that much of a bustline in issue #21! Still no SonicGrams; another repeat announcement of the Triple Trouble and Chaotix specials, as well as the Knuckles and Tails miniseries. Also staff artwork. Princess Sally Mini-series #1 [April 1995] Summary by Ron Bauerle "Deadliest of the Species!" written by Mike Kanterovich & Ken Penders, art by Art Mawhinney & Rich Koslowski. Opens with a nice splash page summarizing the struggle so far and describes the main characters (get this: "Antoine is renouned for his military skills" - okayyyy...). Next it recaps Sally's meeting Geoffrey St. John...in StH #20. Sally & Geoffrey are attacked by SWATbots after destroying the facility and manage to beat them off [hey, Ron, let's leave their private lives out of this ;-) ] and exchange some banter in the process (I can't call it friendly but it's not really sarcastic either). They then head back to the camp where some young trainee freedom fighters are waiting for Sally. Geoffrey mistakes them for enemies and jumps a pig (Hamlin) but they're separated by Sally. This establishes some bad blood between Hamlin and Geoffrey that continues all issue. The team proceeds to its next target (an energy substation) and after battling SWATbots and ORBbots manage to destroy it. During the battle Geoffrey saves Hamlin's life but Hamlin still doesn't trust him. That night, when everyone else is asleep, Geoffrey slips away, activates a teleportal, enters some kind of building and descends to its basement where he speaks to a figure in a glass case: Sally!? Also some fan art: two pics of Sally & Bunnie (both NBD), and one of Sally as a dominatrix (!). Princess Sally Miniseries #2 (Summary by Erich Schulman): The story opens with a fight between St. John and Hamlin, and Sally gives Hamlin a scolding. To reach the third, undestroyed substation, the freedom fighters use a new (!?) technology: hang gliders. Arlo's hang glider is hit by the defenses and he is wounded in action; Penelope volunteers to stay with him. Once inside, Sally and St. John are attacked by an octopod, and everyone barely manages to escape the explosions. Upon leaving, they find that Sally and Penelope are gone. Sally says they will return to camp without them (to which Hamlin is opposed), and they never show up again. Did you have your doubts about St. John? That night, St. John replaces Sally with a lookalike robot and delivers the real Sally to Robotnik. Fan mail (singular; only one letter appears): Will Sonic and Sally marry? "Could be." Has Sally met Knuckles? She will in a forthcoming 48-page S&K special. Does Sally have a mother, and if so what does she look like? "Of course...her origin may yet be told." Or [shameless plug] you can read about it in "Bloodlines" in the fanfic section of Rotor's homepage. "Deadliest of the Species, Part III" Story: Mike Kanterovich & Ken Penders Art: Art Mawhinney (Summary: James Firmiss) (Recap of parts 0, 1 and 2 omitted) Sally, Hamlin and Dylan are fighting their way into Robotropolis with paint guns and grenades (blinding SWATbots). Dylan believes that attacking at half strength isn't wise, yet they press on. Hamlin nearly falls from a collapsing catwalk but Sally rescues him. They eventually reach their objective, break down the doors and find...Robotnik, St. John and Sally (in the container). Hamlin believes Geoffrey to be a traitor so he jumps him. Sally breaks it up and says she and St. John are on the same side. Robotnic reveals that Sally is an auto-automaton, a perfect robot duplicate, and that there was no weakness in the defense system. His master plan is to replace key members of the freedom fighters--we see auto-automatons of Sonic and Tails being built. Robotnik also plans to roboticize the Sally delivered to him by St. John. Robotnik begins the roboticization process but the chamber blows up because a "feedback loop" has occurred. Something which is impossible unless...he were trying to roboticize a robot! The real Sally was with Dylan and Hamlin. Sally tries to 'arrest' Robotnik, but large StealthBots emerge from the walls and capture the freedom fighters. Note: you could see the outlines of the StealthBots 5 pages back. St. John pushes a button on a remote control and a vehicle burrows its way up through the floor. Out pop Penelope, Arlo and three "moles". They help free Sally, Dylan and Hamlin (more paint guns). Robotnik manages to activate a 30-second self-destruct and disappears down an escape chute. Sally and the others all head for the vehicle maintenance area and grab saucer-shaped air cars (from Hanger 18! X-P ) and get out with no time to spare. With everyone back at the base, Hamlin, Penelope, Arlo and Dylan are promoted to full-fledged freedom fighters. Sally tries to convince Geoffrey to come to Knothole but he declines in order to rejoin the Rebel Underground. He does engage Sally in some serious lip-locking before they part. If you're not confused yet, here's a run-down of the plot- twists, as Sally explains them at the end: The FIRST Sally switch occurred right at the beginning of Part 1 shortly after meeting St. John. St. John really was the leader of the "Rebel Underground" and acted as a double agent in order to gain Robotnik's trust and activate the robot double prematurely in order to find out what its plans were. It was the auto-automaton Sally that helped attack the 2d and 3d substations. It was such a good copy that it could give orders, make hard choices, and even grieve for missing comrades. But did you notice the two clues that would have tipped you off that this was an automated Sally: 1. "Auto" Sally wore a purple vest instead of a blue one. 2. "Auto" Sally referred to Geoffrey by his first name, while the real Sally always called him "Mr. St. John." The SECOND Sally switch occurred in Part II, when Robotnik (and the reader) was supposed to think that Sally was being replaced by a robot double. And what about Arlo and Penelope? They were taken away by the moles from the literal Rebel UNDERGROUND. The Rebel Underground was also supposed to be backup in case anything unexpected happened. "This is definitely one of the most complicated stories Archie's Sonic group has ever come up with. Congrats...." JF SallyGram: Horace Hawkins (14) wishes Sally a Happy Valentine's Day, and expresses the desire to be her boyfriend. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD! Scott Fulop (Editor) asks if there is interest in a MONTHLY Sally comic. If so, send a postcard with the following: Give me Princess Sally. Monthly. NOW!!! to: SallyGrams c/o Archie Comic Publishing 325 Fayette Avenue Mamaroneck, NY 10543 NOTES FROM THE NET: that's the heading suggested for comix- related posts to a.f.s-h by none other than Paul Castiglia of Archie Comics. Seems P.C. thinks that NftN would make a good subsection of the Sonic Grams, and said so in a recent post. The idea is that you can post to a.f.s-h, and your post (and e-mail address if you want) will be reprinted in NftN. But ONLY if you specify that it's for NftN. Apparently Archie Comics is still getting a feel for whether they should go ahead with the plan, so let's see some support for it! Hmmm, wonder if Sally's e-mail address is princess@frdmftrs.mobius.org ?

Herewith, the "Cliff's Notes" description: Ch.1: At the beginning, Sonic is 7, Robotnik is 15, and both are staying with Uncle Chuck (you get some idea of how non-canonical this is going to get!). While Robotnik is only interested in gadgets, Sonic is only interested in running fast. While Uncle Chuck works on perfecting a power ring, Robotnik cannibalizes parts from Uncle Chuck's old tractor for a robot. When Uncle Chuck starts up the tractor, it goes out of control and heads for Robotnik. Ch. 2: Sonic interrupts a game of one-against-nine baseball to move the tractor which has pinned Robotnik and Uncle Chuck. He's able to move it with the power ring and he takes both Robotnik and Uncle Chuck to the hospital. Ch. 3: After being released from the hospital, Uncle Chuck and Robotnik return home. Robotnik's robot confesses to Uncle Chuck that he was put together with the stolen tractor parts, and Robotnik is grounded. Robotnik cobbles together another robot from Uncle Chuck's major appliances; it grabs Uncle Chuck but Sonic defeats it by wrapping it up in a garden hose. Robotnik leaves. Ch. 4: "Eight years passed." Sonic, 15, has a pet dog, Muttski, and works as a delivery hedgehog for his Uncle Chuck's chili dog stand. Sonic tests his new sneakers (designed by Uncle Chuck) while filling a large order, but in his absence Robotnik returns and arrests "Uncle Chuck" and his robots trash the stand. Ch. 5: Sonic delivers the chili dogs to an old factory, walking into a trap. He escapes and returns to what's left of the stand. He destroys a couple of robots who try to capture him and learns that Robotnik is responsible. He heads off for Robotnik's factory. Ch. 6: Stopping in the forest just outside the factory he encounters "a cute little chipmunk girl": Princess Sally Acorn. She shows Sonic a short-cut to the "Ro-Bo-Machine." Ch. 7: Reaching the fence around the factory, Sonic sees that Uncle Chuck has already been roboticized. Sally tries to stop him, but Sonic goes over the fence. Ch. 8: Sonic goes into Sonic Spin and takes out the SWATbots. With Sally's help, they get Uncle Chuck and Muttski and head for the Great Forest. Ch. 9: Sally leads them to "Knothole Village" which is "under the forest floor." (cf. Sonic #0). Sonic uses a power ring to restore Uncle Chuck and Muttski. None of the other Freedom Fighters are introduced. _Sonic the Hedgehog: Robotnik's Revenge_ synopsis: one of the Knothole freedom fighters is captured by Robotnik and used as bait to lure Sonic into a trap. In this case, the victim is Bunnie, and the story supposedly explains how she came to be partially roboticized. This account is at odds with the explanation in the comics. In addition, both Uncle Chuck and Muttski in this book has been successfully deroboticized (see above), which conflicts with "Sonic Conversion" and, in fact, the rest of the second season. _Sonic the Hedgehog: Fortress of Fear_ synopsis: COMING SOON OVERSEAS BOOKS: Martin Adams, _Sonic the Hedgehog and the Silicon Warriors_ (c)1993; _Sonic the Hedgehog in Castle Robotnik_ (c)1994; _Sonic the Hedgehog in the Fourth Dimension_ (c)1993; _Sonic the Hedgehog in Robotnik's Laboratory_ (c)1993: London: Virgin.

Seriously, Spaziante has taken a major step in drawing Sally, even moreso than her appearance in #21. Mawhinney's Sally is feminine, but hardly what you'd call *zaftig* in Yiddish. Manak, forget about it! (Except for the Antisally, for reasons I'm not about to pontificate upon). Now if only Pat would get around to drawing Bunnie....

At least I finally got it in the mail today. The cover was silver, as I expected, but for some reason I thought it was going to be on stiff paper like another comic did recently (X Men, I believe). If using regular paper meant no price increase for this issue, I guess I shouldn't complain (g). The remainder of this message contains information regarding the story in Issue 25. If you have not read this issue and don't want to know anything about what's in the issue, stop now. For those of you still with me.... I noticed Amy and Sally are shown as two seperate characters. I was always under the impression that Amy was in Sally's role outside of the Archie comic and the Saturday (and weekday?) cartoon. Amy is clearly in pursuit of Sonic. As Sonic refers to her as a pen pal, Sally would likely know about her and Sonic does not seem be as interested in her as she is in him. By the reference of "little girlie", I would imagine Amy is younger (maybe Tails's age), so she may be more a "groupie" than a serious competitor to Sally. We've seen in the Saturday cartoons how Sonic is not very enthusiastic about getting into a relationship, even though it's always been a "given" that Sonic and Sally are an item. But Sally hasn't been as bubbly over Sonic as Amy was in this issue either. (Getting to sound a bit like a soap opera, isn't it? (g)) Could Sally get tired of Sonic's nonresponsiveness and give up? I'm sure Antoine hopes so. If she does, that leaves the door wide open for both Antoine (Sally, if she decides she's interested) and Amy (Sonic). Could Sonic be up next for a "Love Showdown" issue? |-- Erich Schulman (KTN4CA) + Team OS/2 ---- acme@use.usit.net -----| | A!

Might have helped, except that Fox moved their programming so that starting with the February sweeps, the Munchkins were up against Sonic's time slot again.

Not off-topic for me, since a) we have a similar 3ABN station in our area. 3ABN is in "real life" a satellite channel, but some communities have gotten downlinks and LPTV transmitters to make the programming available over the airways. In my corner of Southwestern Lower Michigan, the 3ABN station has a range of up to about 25 miles or so. BTW, "3ABN" is the official call letters of the station for legal purposes. Also for legal purposes, instead of showing a slide with the call letters, they are able to meet the requirements for a legal ID by broadcasting the call letters...in Morse code!...no matter what's being said on the program at the moment. It can be a little disruptive if you're not used to it. As for b) I'm a Seventh-day Adventist myself.

She's just a kid, which probably tracks with a good chunk of the Archie readership age range. Identification and all that.

If the writers decide to make Geoffrey a recurring character, that would be the cue. Still, having already "established" that Sonic & Sally are not only an "item" but are destined to propagate (cf. the end of "Sally's Crusade" from _In Your Face_ #1 and the opening of "The Return" in Sonic #22), we may be talking a major can o' worms here.

Don't know about 1-10, but it's the best idea yet. (I'd give it a 10, but what if someone else comes up with a better idea?) On a tangential note, I got Chaotix today. It's pretty good, except two slight problems--SONIC AND TAILS!!! Knuckles is the star and he travels with his four little friends (which are on hff.mv.com). They have some neat abilities (like Espio who can walk on the ceiling and change colours. Hee, hee!), but can never substitute for the Happy Fun Fox and his Blue Buddy. [Excerpt from the manual:] [The story so far...] Tomorrow's the big opening day for Carnival island, a huge amusement resort with the latest in high-tech rides and games. As guardian of the island, it's Knuckles' job to make sure nothing goes wrong before the grand event. Unfortunately, the evil Dr. Robotnik has other plans. He needs fuel for his latest diabolical devices, and the Power Emerald that supplies electricity to the enitre island [the big green thing in Sonic & Knuckles?] fits the bill perfectly. His awful new invention, the Combi Confiner, should help him get rid of that annoying echidna and his friends. When Kuckles returns from patrolling the far end of the island, he discovers that Dr. Robotnik has imprisoned all of his friends--Espio the Chameleon, Mighty the Armadillo, Vector the Crocodile and Charmy Bee. After he chases the Doctor off, Knuckles discovers that he can rescue one friend at a time by using Ring Power... only the power that sparks between the Rings holds the two partners together like a magical rubber band. Never held back for long, Knuckles finds that with a little teamwork, he can use the stretching and snapping action of the Ring Power to double--even triple--the partners' speed. And they need all the speed they can get. As Dr. Robotnik drains the power from Carnival Island, everything on the island begins to break down! Robotnik must be stopped, or by tomorrow morning--the morning of Carnival Island's big opening day--the grand amusement park will lie in ruins! [The characters] Knuckles the Echidna: Knuckles is the guardian of the island and of the Emerald Pillar that it conceals. When Dr. Robotnik invades the island, it's up to the Echidna to set things right. Vector the Crocodile: This cool croc loves the rush of running when he isn't jammin' with his friends, doing fancy footwork to the tunes on his headset, or investigating the local food courts. Mighty the Armadillo: Mighty is just that. He's strong, smart, and confident, and he can't stand weakness in anything. He's one of Knuckles' good friends, and is determined to help save the island from Robotnik. Charmy Bee: Surprisingly sophisticated for his 16 years, Charmy came to the island in search of new types of flowers, and found a ton of trouble. But he handles things in his usual quick, cool and charming way. Espio the Chameleon: This colorful chameleon values his freedom above all else, and after he was freed from Dr. Robotnik's Combi Machine, he decided he must stop the evil Doctor at all costs. He has a hot temper and an intense drive in everything he does, and sometimes his friend Charmy Bee has to remind him of his manners. Espio is quick and strong, and his whirling attack is just the thing you need to get out of a tight spot. These two robots claim they've escaped from the evil Doctor and want to help... but could they be part of Robotnik's plot to slow Knuckles and his friends down? Heavy the Robot: Heavy works as Robotnik's chief mechanic. He's just as his name says--heavy--and slow. Bomb: Bomb works as Robotnik's other mechanic. He's not very quick or strong, and he blows up when things start looking bleak. [Okay, now it's my turn.] The game play is quite interesting since you're connected to somebody else (either the computer or Player 2) by a giant rubber band. This makes for some interesting moves, but can get annoying at times. There are two bonus stages. In one, you are free-falling down a large pit and must get points, rings, or other items before you hit the exit. The other is like the one in Sonic 2. It's a big hexagonal tube that you run down with mines, rings and springs. The object is to get a certian amount of blue spheres before the you run out of rings. (You begin with 100 and they constantly count down.) Overall, it's a pretty good game, but not what I expected. -B.B.

I've been working on a variation of the theory myself, one that also explains a) why nobody else seems to be affected by the rings the way Sonic is; and b) how the ring generator got to the bottom of the pool at Knothole in the first place. Watch for the explanation in my next fanfic contribution, "Capture The Flag," which I'll try to finish some time in July.

Uncle Chuck was indeed the inventor of the power rings, though HOW they work remains unexplained, as well as why they only work for Sonic. So the mentioning of Uncle Chuck is canonical if you accept the comix as well as Teitelbaum as source material. Sonic could have been fast pre-rings and way past fast post-ring if you know what I mean. Like I said in another post, I'm working on it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the cartoon network is owned by Turner Broadcasting who is also responsible for SWAT Kats... and most (all?) of the programming on the cartoon network is from Ted Turner owned companies...

Ted Turner (owner of WTBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, CNN, CNN Headline News, and >=1 more channel) has run "Captain Planet", another DIC 'toon on both WTBS and TNT. So maybe one of them if not C.N. C.N. seems to "favor" Hanna-Barbera, the makers of "SWATKats". Another possibility is Sonic being added to USA's "Cartoon Express". Unfortunately, the TV listings usually say "Cartoon Express - 5 hours" and you never know just what's going to be on. And it's always possible for DIC to take the now-former Saturday series to syndication. They will have to make >=40 more episodes for that to happen, and making 40 more shows will take a while. Or, they could add these episodes to the existing weekday series and maybe more stations will pick up Sonic on weekdays.. and hopefully one in my area. Or maybe someone on the mailing list can get busy and release some multi-megabyte .AVI's with Sonic (g). |-- Erich Schulman (KTN4CA) + Team OS/2 ---- acme@use.usit.net -----| | A!

You Decide Maybe ABC decided they couldn't possibly win, so they would put on something that would at least minimize their losses.

For one thing, it isn't just Sonic that's involved, but Tails as well. I don't take kindly to underage furries involved in such things. Also, the feeling I get from a couple of the drawings is a little too S&M for me to take. I'm not going to state publically where I saw the pics, what with the current row about Internet censorship and cyberporn (Question: How would the Congressional blue noses handle furrotica?).

Actually, Sega is starting up a PC line, and one of the first titles they are moving to the PC platform is Sonic CD. This was shown at the E3 Show in LA, May 11-13, and it looked real cool running on a nice monitor (as opposed to a poor resolution NTSC TV). I don't know when the Sega PC line will start shipping products, but I would guess that the Sonic CD - PC game will be available by this Christmas. >4.Edited pictures that show sonic doing gay acts on other.

I couldn't find any FAQ, so I'm trying to get through to the rest of you. Hopefully, I'm sending this to the right address... I guess I may as well tell you a little about myself. I'm on the Fraudigy (I guess you'd call it Prodigy if you hadn't seen any bills yet ) network, and have fairly limited Internet access. I'm a member of two Sonic clubs (for those of you who run *Fee*, if any, one's in the Sega Clubs topic on the Video Games BB; the other's in the Cartoon/Furry/Humor topic on the Comics BB), and I write a lot of stories about the Freedom Fighters. In Sonic '95 (the one on the VGBB), we've made up a multitude of new characters (or, in my case, stolen some from other areas that have nothing to do with Sonic...my character is Mega Man X). Well, that about wraps up what I have to say at this point...reply soon! >< From owner-sonic@sard.mv.net Thu Jun 22 00:21:29 1995 Received: by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id XAA20971 for sonic-ll; Wed, 21 Jun 1995 23:42:05 -0400 Received: from mail.eworld.com by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id XAA20966 for ; Wed, 21 Jun 1995 23:41:54 -0400 From: BJIrish@eworld.com Received: by hp1.online.apple.com (1.37.109.16/16.2) id AA208932483; Wed, 21 Jun 1995 20:41:23 -0700 Date: Wed, 21 Jun 1995 20:41:23 -0700 Message-Id: <950621204118_11404586@eWorld.com> To: sonic@sard.mv.net Subject: Re: I'm new at this...

Keep us all updated about this one. Perhaps I have a good reason to get a CD ROM now. Any idea what kind of requirements it will need, and how simular it is (ie music etc.) to the original?

I found Sonic 26 at our local comic shop yesterday. I don't have time to type up a review although I wanted to make a few comments: Manak is back.. He did the first story and it looks like he forgot to draw Sally's blue vest... Wups. Oh well, It was supposed to be a hot summer day in the story anyway (at least until Robotnik started causing trouble). Art Mawhinney penciled the 2nd story with Bunny Rabbot being one of the main acting characters (instead of her just standing around in the background as usual). Again in SonicGrams they talked about the upcoming miniseries starring our own favorite 'happy fun fox', Tails. It should be out in the fall. You can even write to 'Tails-Grams' to get your letters in early. By the way.. to that new guy on the list who said he had Sonic stories: Hooray!

"NICOLE!We can use it to track them down" Sally whipped out a pocket sized electronic device and turned it on. "NICOLE,search for emerald file,access,run data,evaluate." "The only emerald within the 10 mile radius range is in the great forest,the only part of Mobious Robotnik stayed out of,"Nicole said. "Let's go!" "NO!Not more speed,"Antoine pleaded. "Hope you like dust,Ant!"Sonic grabbed Antoine and Sally. "*cough**cough*ACK!" A squirrely cough came from high above a tree.Sonic stopped. A squirrel came down. "Stop kicking up so much dust!It should halfway to the moon, now.Who are you,anyway?Sonic the Hedgehog?" "Yes." "Oops,sorry.And that's probably Princess Sally...ha!" "YES!IT IS!"Sally was gritting her teeth.Sonic eyed the emerald the squirrel was holding. "Would you,by any chance,want to join the fight against Robotnik?"He asked. "Sure.The name's Minerva.This should be a beautiful relationship,royalty and heroism..." Hedgehog X (I erased Sonic...I AM slipping!)

"The red Chaos Emerald is west of this vicinity,in sector 9-3."NICOLE read. "That's an Aquatic Ruin!It's WAY too dangerous!"Tails remembered.After pointing this out,Antoine decided to stay put.Then,without further hesitation,they took off. Sally accessed some information about the Aquatic Ruins. "The Aquatic Ruins was an ancient city until it was destroyed by Robotnik.There are readings of organic life on it." "Organic life!Someone still lives!"Minerva shouted. However,the Aquatic Ruins was now a beach,with no signs of anything.However,further inspection indicated a metallic fish...RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM!It had a steel grate in front and 4 fins.Suddenly,Sonic was sucked toward it."Don't worry, I have a plan!"Sonic started spinning,but then the grate opened and Sonic,along with the others,were sucked in.Then the "fish" returned to the surface."NO!That's not a workerbot!"A sea lion said. "That's the second time I was called a workerbot!WHAT is a workerbot!"Sonic said. "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG?!What are YOU doing here?"the sea lion aasked. "We came to find a very specific jewel...the red Chaos Emerald."Sally explained. "OH!I use that to power my fish!You can have it if you need it.My name's Rotor.I know Sonic,Tails,and you,but who's the..." "Squirrel?I'm Minerva." "Rotor,you are obviously against Robotnik.How would like to join the Freedom Fighters?"Sonic asked. "Freedom Fighters?Since when were we called Freedom Fighters Sally asked. "Since now.So,Rotor..."

Sonic and Tails saw Robotnik kidnap Sonic's brother Speed and Uncle Chuck.After learning about his attack on Mobious and recruiting some Freedom Fighters:Princess Sally,the royal guard,Antoine,Minerva (a squirrel),and Rotor (a sea lion mechanic),Sonic must find the last 4 Chaos Emeralds. "The Underground Zone!That's Robotnik's territory!" "Sonic,MOBIOUS is Robotnik's territory."Sally pointed out. "Sonic!I modified the hovercrafts I made before the attack. We should be able to catch up with you!"Rotor called. "Cool,Rote.Hang on tight,'cause we're going warp 7!" With that,Sonic,Tails,Sally,Minerva,and Rotor took off for the Underground Zone (though Sonic was almost sure he forgot something). Once there,they found their first complication...the hover- boards weren't working right.Sonic was able to get them off before the hoverboards crashed...but Sonic and the others landed in a mining cart going downward.They crashed,but no harm was done.Then a moniter lowered from the ceiling,and displayed Robotnik's face."Welcome,"he said. "I believe you are looking for this,"the moniter raised to reveal the green Chaos Emerald."If you want it take it... although you will be smashed like a bug,"then,a gate dropped behind the Freedom Fighters. "Well,I guess we have no choice!"Sonic took the emerald.True to Robotnik's word,the ceiling crumbled. Suddenly,a kangaroo appeared and pushed away the falling rocks.A rock fell over Minerva,and Sonic crushed it.Then the kangaroo pushed away the rock about to crush Sonic.And then, the last rock fell...right on Sally's leg! "Hmmm.She'll be okay,as long as she stays off that leg,"the kangaroo said. "Well,she can't move around a lot.We need to get her in a safe place,"Rotor suggested. "THAT'S IT!THAT'S what I forgot...Antoine."Sonic suddenly burst. "Say,isn't HE in a safe place?"Minerva reminded. "We'll,let's go back...and take him with us."Sally was anxious. "The name's Leaper."Leaper said.

Sonic,holding Sally,rushed into the Great Forest in search of Antoine...and proper sanctuary.Sonic's luck shone, however,when Antoine popped out of the bushes. "Sally,you must see this.It is magnifeec!" "Magnificent,Antoine,magnificent,"Sally corrected Antoine. "Oh,come on." Antoine led Sonic and Sally to a village.Rotor,Minerva,and Leaper met them on hovercrafts. "Ooo.Beaver cottages.How intriguing."Minerva said. "NICOLE,access beaver dwellings.Might as well know what we're living in." "Accessing,Sally.No file on beaver dwellings." "Steady,steady,slow,slow..." "I hate that word." Sonic was in one of the huts,lowering Sally onto a bed. "There.I should be safe here."Sally said. Sonic went outside."Tails,guard Sally while Rotor,Minerva, Leaper,and I look for the last 3 emeralds." "Yes,Sonic.No creepy 'bot will get past me." "Cool.Now,I'm...wait,I almost forgot."

Sonic has collected the blue,red,and green Chaos Emeralds. Sonic needs the pink,l.blue,and purple emeralds. Sonic has 3 new friends:Minerva,Rotor,and Leaper. Sally is hiding in Knothole with Tails and Antoine guarding. "MAYDAY,MAYDAY.Unknown user." "NICOLE,It's Sonic." "Accessing Sonic.Commencing voice comparison.Hello,Sonic." "Now how does Sally do this.Hmmm.NICOLE,scan for Chaos Emeralds." "No emeralds in range,Sonic." "Do you think they're in the secret zone,guys?"asked Sonic. "It seems possible,but we don't know yet,"Rotor replied. "There's only one way to find out.NICOLE,scan for trans-dimensional warps." "There are 2 in range.Warp #1 leads to Earth,a terran planet Warp #2 leads to the secret zone." "NICOLE,show coordinates of warp #2."NICOLE projected a holographic map of Mobious in the 100-mile radius range. "Well,Sonic,it's now or never."Minerva said. "And it's now.BANZAI!"Sonic leaped into the warp with the others following.Sonic was spinning,jumping,and leaping off platforms in no time.Rotor slid on his belly directly into the goal,and disappeared.Leaper tried to hit the gate with his head by bouncing off the bumpers...but when he got there,the maze spun 180' degrees,and Leaper hit the goal. When Minerva finally gained her balance,she used her tail to save Sonic from the goal...but after that she slipped again and fell into the goal herself.However,the gate on Sonic's side was gone and he hit the emerald,then disappeared.Sonic joined the other Freedom Fighters on Mobious...with a pink emerald in hand.

"The yellow Chaos Emerald is in sector 1,2,4,8,16,32,OVERLOAD!" Just then,something tackled Sonic.He woke up to find a neon blue hedgehog,also knocked out cold,holding an emerald.Sonic was just about to grab it when he was electricuted. "I don't think so.You're going to have to earn my emerald... in a race." "A race.Don't you know who I am?"Sonic asked. "Dead meat!The destination is Green Hill." Sonic and Thunder got ready. "We start on three.Ready...THREE!" Both hegehogs were off.However,the stranger got ahead of Sonic by 1 foot per second.Sonic knew that Green Hill wasn't exactly around the corner.He thought of Green Hill and his last moments with Uncle Chuck,gazing at the power ring... THE POWER RING!It was still in Sonic's backpack,and in great shape.Sonic got it out,and focused on it's power.Sonic shot out at warp 2...twice the other hedgehog's speed. Startled,the other hedgehog shot a lightning bolt from his fingers,which hit Sonic's power ring.It absorbed the power, sending Sonic warp 3.Not only that,the shot made the neon hedgehog fall to see Sonic standing on top of Green Hill. Sonic met up with the other Freedom Fighters,then carried them to where the glow-in-the-dark pincushion fell.They coaxed him to talk."I was captured by Robotnik.I was due after some other old hedgehog was robotisized.But right before the process was completed,he messed up the control box.He was robotisized,but I was electrified." "What's your name?"Minerva asked. "I don't know.I didn't know anything until the emerald made me remember the essentials." "Well,I name you Lightning,after that SHOCKING display of power."Rotor cracked.He didn't know Lightning would accept the name.He also joined the Freedom Fighters...though everybody expected that.

Sonic didn't have time to check with NICOLE.Immediatly,when the emeralds got close to each other,they flew away...with Sonic trying not to get ahead! The emeralds went into Sonic's hut.Then they started banging on Chuck's closet.Sonic never opened the closet...it was forbidden.But Sonic,and the other Freedom Fighters opened it and saw a white Chaos Emerald...the final emerald.And was in Sonic's house!Why didn't Chuck tell him.Then,it started speaking... "Where have you five been?"It said.The Freedom Fighters were too surprised to comment. "Oh,I can talk.That feels good.Thanks!"The red one said. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?"The white one asked. "We don't know them.They should introduce themselves to us...of course,we all know Sonic."the yellow said. "I'm M-m-minerva,not too mention one scared squirrel girl!" "I'm Rotor,a handyman." "I'm Leaper...KEEP AWAY!" "I'm Lightning...or am I?Oh,I get so scrambled sometimes." "Well,I am the white Chaos Emerald,head of language.See why the others didn't talk before?" "I'm the red emerald,head of power...If Rotor didn't use me as a battery." "I'm the yellow emerald,head of knowledge." "I'm the pink emerald and all I do is transportation." "I'm the green emerald,the height choice!" "I create things,take for instance Mobious.And now,I think, is a time for creation..." "NOT ANOTHER BEING!REMEMBER LAST TIME?"the yellow bellowed. "Relax.We'll start this one's life as an adult." The emeralds gathered in a circle and spun.Then they gave off a charge to the middle.It took shape and then the energy turned into a human,which dropped on the ground. "Darn.She's only 11."The pink commented. "It's alright.If she's not defective now,she won't be later. Remember..."the yellow was interupted. "No,I refuse to remember.Let bygones be bygones."Pink said. The human got up."Hello.I'm,I'm...who am I?" "Kate.Kate Chaos.And,you're not a rebel...thank goodness!"

"Ah,Sonic.I see you've met my SWAT-bots,"Robotnik smirked... The red emerald flew into Kate's hand.She aimed it at a SWAT-bot,and an energy bolt zapped it.The SWAT-bot was destroyed.Then,the wall broke down.Millions of SWAT-bots were in front of the hut.Lightning and Kate zapped all they could,but they eventually ran out of juice.The Freedom Fighters were overcome. By listening to Robotnik's babbling,Sonic learned they were in Robotropolis...dark and polluted.They were carried off to be robotisized and turned into workerbots.Sonic still didn't know what workerbots were. "After you learn your fate,you will become my mindless slaves.I'll start with you,Speed,"Robotnik decided. "I'm Sonic I tell you.Speed wouldn't have had so many allys." "It doesn't matter.You'll both be hedgehogs with bolts in your neck..."CRASH!Robotnik was interupted by something shaking the tower in which the Freedom Fighters were imprisoned."What was that?" Robotnik looked out the window.He saw a purple hedgehogs spiny head.A cambot spyed on it,and Robotnik monitered the mysterious hedgehog close-up.And then the hedgehog found it. "Don't look behind you,"he warned.Robotnik looked at the elevator.There,at the ready with lasers,were Sally and Tails.Sally gave Robotnik a blast that knocked him back a little."That's for my leg.HEY!"Sally was grabbed by a SWAT-bot.Tails blasted it,and then a transport-bot crashed through the window right into the robotisizer controls! The hedgehog stepped out.He looked exactly like Sonic,but he was smaller and purple."Hello,am I late?Oh,it doesn't matter."Then,he pulled the jail bar switch and the Freedom Fighters were free. There wasn't much time for questions.The elevator arrived with 3 SWAT-bots,and flybots were attacking.Kate and Lightning blasted bots.Minerva used Tails's blaster (which she was skilled with).Rotor used his screwdriver and slashed the SWAT-bots.Sonic,Tails,and the guest of honor spun through the flybots.Laser shots filled the tower. Robotnik escaped through the trashed transport-bot.More flybots and more SWAT-bots entered.Finally,Rotor whipped out his remote control for the hovercrafts and called them. "Who are you?"Sonic asked the hedgehog. "Just call me Hedgehog X.WHOA!"the ledge Hedgehog X backed into crumbled,taking him with it.Then the hoverboards arrived and the Freedom Fighters made a retreat. "Friends,"Sally started,"we did a lot today.We banded together to stop Robotnik.We formed the FREEDOM FIGHTERS!" "Yah,we did a lot today.Let's go home and take a rest."Sonic suggested.And they did just that.END OF ACT 1 Hedgehog X From owner-sonic@sard.mv.net Thu Jun 22 18:43:08 1995 Received: by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id SAA01783 for sonic-ll; Thu, 22 Jun 1995 18:27:07 -0400 Received: from peter.cs.andrews.edu by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id SAA01778 for ; Thu, 22 Jun 1995 18:26:49 -0400 Received: from edmund (edmund.cs.andrews.edu) by peter.cs.andrews.edu (5.x/SMI-SVR4) id AA05425; Thu, 22 Jun 1995 18:26:29 -0400 From: drazen@andrews.edu (Dan Drazen) Received: by edmund (5.x) id AA20228; Thu, 22 Jun 1995 18:26:26 -0400 Message-Id: <9506222226.AA20228@edmund> Subject: Sonic '95?

Having merely read about the process of the canonization of the Old Testament in a course I took on Intertestamental Judaism, I find it fascinating that there are parallels in the currently-ongoing work of putting together the StH canon.

This is your only notice! II. SOURCE DESCRIPTIONS A. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG EPISODE GUIDE 1. First Season: 1993-94 Super Sonic Writer: Jules Dennis When Nicole malfunctions, Sonic and Sally go to Robotropolis to get replacement parts. While there, they discover the Forbidden Zone and a being named Lezar. Lezar causes Sonic to lose his speed abilities, and teaches him that he can still accomplish things without it. Sonic Boom Writer: Len Janson While on a mission in Robotropolis, Sally intercepts a message which includes the use of her father's pet name for her. They follow the lead to the Dark Swamp and the remains of Ironlock Prison. In the process, a freedom fighter named Cat is captured. The freedom fighters gain maps to Robotropolis, but the search for Sally's father proves futile. Sonic and Sally Writers: Pat Allee and Ben Hurst Before becoming the principle writers for the second season, Allee and Hurst wrote this account of Sally's capture by Robotnik's forces. Sonic rescues what he thinks is Sally but what is instead a robot double. Back in Knothole, Tails begins to doubt Sally's behavior because of small details, such as how she reads a bedtime story. After first dismissing Tails' fears, Sonic also comes to realizes he's been dealing with a "Stepford Sally." Hooked on Sonics Writer: Randy Rogel In an attempt to impress Sally, Antoine tries to capture Robotnik by himself. He attempts to lure Robotnik into the open with the offer of a power ring, but Antoine is himself captured and Sonic has to rescue him. Ultra Sonic Writer: David Villaire While on a raid in Robotropolis, Sonic finds his Uncle Chuck as a robot worker in a crystal mine. Uncle Chuck recovers his mind and will long enough to help destroy a giant crystal which would have damaged the ecosystem of the entire planet. As Uncle Chuck loses control of his will, Sonic vows to return for him. Sonic's Nightmare Writer: Frank Santopadre The freedom fighters are captured and held on a deserted island refinery. Sonic must not only rescue them but he also has to deal with a recurring nightmare where he unable to prevent Sally's being roboticized. Warp Sonic Writer: Matt Uitz The freedom fighters discover an underground civilization called Lower Mobius and one of its citizens, Griff. Lower Mobius draws energy from a power crystal, but it is weakening. Feigning friendship, Griff visits Knothole and steals the power stone which is the source of the power rings. After fighting off some mechanical rats, the power stone is retrieved. Griff apologizes for his theft and is given a portion of the stone to aid Lower Mobius. Harmonic Sonic Writer: David Villaire After Robotnik launches a robot-manned orbiting space station to locate Knothole, the Knothole freedom fighters use a rocket booster to reach and destroy it. Sonic and the Secret Scrolls Writer: Janis Diamond The freedom fighters journey to Mauga (sp?) to recover some legendary scrolls, but Robotnik is tailing them. Robotnik's ship is hurled off a plateau by a violent wind, and the Knothole gang mistakenly believe he is finished. Will they make the same mistake at the end of the second season? Sub-Sonic Writer: Barbara Slade Sonic discovers a stream of water that makes plants grow at a fantastic rate. In their search for the source, the Knothole gang discover a subterranean creature whose habitat has been disturbed by Robotnik's drilling operations. Heads or Tails Writer: Len Janson On a raid of Robotropolis, Sonic runs into Muttski, his now- roboticized pet dog and vows to return him to normal someday. The freedom fighters also have to contend with a squadron of Buzzbombers carrying an orange defoliant [Agent Orange? Hmmmm...] intent on destroying the Great Forest and exposing Knothole. Artwork in this ep is decidedly off-model. Sonic Past Cool Writers: Kayte Kuch & Sheryl Scarborough Tails finds a baby terrapod and the freedom fighters escort the terrapod herd to Boulder Bay, where they will be safe from Robotnik. Sonic Racer Writer: Len Janson While on a mission to disable Robotnik's power generators, Sonic is tempted into participating in a contest against a super-fast robot designed to capture him. While he engages the bot, Bunnie, Sally and Antoine go after their target: Robotnik's back-up generator. 2. Second Season: 1994-95 Game Guy Sonic rescues someone from capture by Robotnik; he turns out to be Ari, a freedom fighter from another group. Ari directs Sonic to a place which turns out to be a trap. Sonic manages to escape (after Robotnik toys with him), but Ari--whose comrades were roboticized and who was himself deceived by Robotnik--is sucked into the Void. Before falling into the Void, Ari says something about a list of other freedom fighters. Sonic Conversion To my way of thinking, THE breakthrough episode for the series! The Knothole gang test a deroboticizing process on Bunnie, whose partially-roboticized body is returned to normal. Sonic then goes after Uncle Chuck and is able to convince him to undergo the process. However, the process turns out to be only temporary as, in a poignant scene, Bunnie reverts to a half-robot. When Uncle Chuck reverts to robotic form, he captures Tails and Antoine for delivery to Robotnik; Sonic confronts him and manages to break the hold on Uncle Chuck's mind. Uncle Chuck returns to Robotropolis to work as a spy for the Knothole gang. No Brainer Sonic's thought processes are temporarily scrambled while on a mission in Robotropolis. Taking advantage of the situation, Snively convinces Sonic that they are friends. The disruption wears off just as the Knothole gang face imminent capture. Blast to the Past (two parts) Dulcy takes Sonic and Sally to a floating island where they use the Time Stones to return to Mobotropolis on the eve of the planet's conquest by Dr. Robotnik (then known as Julian, affiliated with the War Ministry and supposedly in charge of its dismantling). They also encounter themselves as 5-year-olds and learn that it was Sonic's Uncle Chuck who had perfected the roboticizer process in the first place, though Julian/Robotnik stole the process. Sally and Sonic work to keep their child selves from being roboticized, to prevent the Great Forest from being destroyed, and to make sure that Sally's nanny, Rosie, would not get captured. Fed Up With Antoine/Ghost Busted (back to back episodes) Feeling unappreciated, Antoine allows himself to be made "king" by a group of renegades, unaware that with the office comes the "honor" of being an entree./While out camping, Sonic's ghost story panics Tails, and Antoine once more demonstrates his ineptitude. Dulcy Dulcy begins having overpowering urges to fly to Dragonsnest, a nesting site for female dragons. She, Sonic and Sally, arrive just as Robotnik has captured another female dragon; they then discover the dragon's egg inside Dragonsnest. Taking the egg back to Knothole, they rescue the female dragon who returns in time to hatch the egg. The Void Sonic discovers an opening to the Void while out in the "Great Unknown" [another name for the Forbidden Zone?]. Sally and Bunnie are put under a spell and pulled into the Void by a sorcerer named Naugus, who had been imprisoned there years before by Robotnik and who needs Sonic's speed to escape. Sonic learns what has happened from Nicole and allows himself to be pulled into the Void. Attempting to rescue Sally and Bunnie, he is tricked into rescuing what he thinks is Sally's father but is really Naugus. Sonic returns to the Void and finds not only Sally and Bunnie but the King and Ari as well. He brings them all out, but Naugus and the King have spent so much time in the Void that their bodies cannot handle living on Mobius. Naugus breaks off his tormenting of Robotnik, and Sally's father gives her the list of other resistance groups. On the whole, Sally goes through the emotional rollercoaster ride of her life. The Odd Couple/Ro-Becca (back to back episodes) After a crash landing by Dulcy leaves Sonic homeless he moves in with Antoine, who predictably gets bent out of shape by Sonic's lifestyle./Rotor cobbles together a robot which develops the hots for Antoine. Cry of the Wolf The Knothole freedom fighters search for and discover the Wolf Pack, the remnants of an ancient race who are now one of the other resistance groups. After several unsuccessful attempts to destroy a test pod from the Doomsday Project, Sonic draws it into a lightning storm and destroys it. Drood Henge Sonic and Tails discover an archaeological dig by Robotnik; they learn from Nicole that the object of the search is the Deep Power Stones, and that Robotnik has recovered one of the two. Tails comes up with a plan to retrieve the second stone before Robotnik can get to it. Spyhog On the eve of final preparations of the Doomsday project, Robotnik begins to suspect that there is a spy in his midst. Uncle Chuck's cover is blown, but he escapes capture and goes back underground with a different cover. Doomsday In the season finale, a combined force of the five freedom fighter groups tries to destroy the Doomsday project. Robotnik, however, seems to have too many safeguards built in. As a last resort, Sonic and Sally use the Deep Power Stones. The Doomsday project is destroyed; Robotnik's fate is uncertain but Snively is ready to step into his shoes in a burst of megalomania and overacting. Cliffhanger: who or what does Snively have to help him? We'll never know: ABC chose not to run StH for a third season.

SONIC COMICS DESCRIPTIONS [CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME] Now, direct from the Great White North, Brad Clark summarizes the original Sonic miniseries: Issue 0 "Don't Cry For Me, Mobius" Story: Michael Gallagher, Art: Scott Shaw! Sonic is chased by Dr. Robotnik. After the chase, which Robotnik loses, Sonic returns to Knothole where most of the main characters are introduced for the first time. (Note: Rotor is referred to as "Boomer.") Antoine then announces that there is a leak in Knothole (Knothole is located underground in this issue) that is caused by Robotnik. Sonic defeats Robotnik with a power ring. "The Royal Family of Mobius" Takes place before Robotnik was in power and has Sonic and Uncle Chuck running a chilidog take-out stand. Robotnik destroys the stand and captures Muttski and Uncle Chuck. Sonic meets Sally (with yellow hair and red fur) who introduces him to the rest of the freedom fighters in Knothole. Issue 1 "Run, Sally, Run" Story and art: Gallagher & Shaw! Sally [this time with pink fur and black hair] goes to see Robotnik about the return of her father. Robotnik captures Sally and almost throws her into the "Robo-machine." Sonic rescues Sally only to discover that Sally had wanted to get caught in order to gather information on the roboticizer, using some special boots designed by Boomer/Rotor. Issue 2 "A Crowning Achievement" Gallagher & Shaw! again. Sally decides to wear the "Crown of the Acorn Kings" which belonged to her father, but the crown is missing. They discover a robotic freedom fighter who tells them that Robotnik has stolen the crown and has scattered its jewels (the four Chaos Emeralds) throughout the land. Sonic retrieves the emeralds and Boomer/Rotor repairs the crown. Issue 3 "Sonic Flashback" Gallagher & Shaw! Sonic and Robotnik recall when they were kids. Uncle Chuck invents the power rings. Sonic and Robotnik have an argument, and it escalates until Robotnik is constructing mechanical monsters out of Uncle Chuck's appliances. Sonic then wakes up -- it was all just a daydream -- and resumes being chased by Robotnik. "Why Ask Spy" Sonic is made to look like a robot to trick Robotnik and to destroy one of his factories. In the process, Sonic discovers Uncle Chuck and Muttski who have both been roboticized. Sonic destroys the factory. #16 [Summary by Erich Schulman] "Sonic Under Glass" It appears that Sonic and Sally are tying the knot, having defeated Robotnik once and for all. In reality, Robotnik has lured the freedom fighters to a place called Sleepy Hollow. Once there, they were gassed, put into a sleep, and trapped inside a virtual reality glass dome. As all their fantasies have come true, nobody wants to escape. Uncle Chuck arrives and reveals to Sonic that he is embracing, not Sally, but a broom. Sonic hates to disappoint his friends, who are all so happy, but decides to get back at Robotnik. Sonic gets Robotnik's war machines to reverse course and attack the big guy, so Robotnik reluctantly kills the VR software. Sonic and Sally are reunited, and Sonic concludes that virtual reality is a nice place to visit, but.... "The Man From H.E.D.G.E.H.O.G." Robotnik comes to the conclusion that there is a spy in his midst, since so many of his missions have failed. Thinking that he has found his spy in a mole, he uses the Wheel of Misfortune to randomize his plans to destroy Mobius. On Robotnik's first spin, he lands on "undersea bank heist." Robotnik's lackey's find only an empty vault and the freedom fighters waiting for them. The same thing happens after two more spins. Robotnik finally thinks he has Sonic captured when Sonic and Sally visit Robotnik's casino [Boy, I hope this makes more sense in the comic! DJD], but Sonic narrowly escapes. Belatedly, Robotnik realizes that the Wheel itself was rigged. Sonic-Grams: Aside from now-obsolete announcements, it is stated that Sonic is 15; that Sally is a squirrel (not necessarily a ground squirrel); that Antoine was a donor so that Tails would be able to fly [Yeah, right!]; that Sonic was just a little slow rescuing Bunnie from the roboticizer. On a more useful note, Archie Comics confesses that due to inadequate modelling information, their Sally was a different color from the SatAM version, a situation which has since been rectified. #18 [Jan 1995]: "Wedding Bell Blues" Robotnik gets word of Sonic and Sally's impending wedding and plans an attack. "In the Still of the Night" While trying to determine the nature of the mysterious orb (cf. "First Star....", #17), Sally is called to the bedside of her old mentor, Julayla, just before she dies. Sonicgram: includes statement that Sonic is 15, and a German fan disses Dave Manak's artwork Sonic: In Your Face #1 [1995] "Sally's Crusade: The Quest" The orb is revealed to be a casing surrounding Nicole. Sally, with the others in tow, searches for what turns out to be Julayla's last testament. The significance of this document is spelled out in a "flashforward" at the end of the story. "Mirror Zone" An excuse to practice backwards lettering. Sonicgram: Sally's age is given as "about 15." [Note, if you're going to guess a lady's age, guess on the low side ;-) ] "Tails' Tallest Tale" Tails substitutes for Sonic, putting in an appearance at a con. His exaggerations almost get him into trouble. Artwork by Shaw!. #19 [Feb 1995]: "Night of a Thousand Sonics" In order to defeat Robotnik's latest scheme, Sonic has to call in as many versions of himself from as many parallel universes as he can. Artwork by Manak for the first half, Mawhinney for the second. Sonicgram: The name of Sally's father is given as "King Acorn" (but see FAQ #5). Scott Fulop hedges on when Knuckles will make an appearance and whose side he'll be on. Again, Sally is identified as a "ground squirrel." Hint is dropped as to a Sonic motion picture in the works. #20 [Mar 1995]: "That's the Spirit" Exposure to an antimatter explosion renders Sonic invisible; Sally and the others [Tails being the exception] believe he is dead. The comedic pacing and Manak's artwork mar what otherwise might have been a very poignant story. Great line (Sonic to Robotnik--who thinks he's dealing with a ghost): "Give Mobius back to the freedom fighters, lose weight and get a hairpiece!" "Deadliest of the Species" [Prologue to the Princess Sally miniseries] While on a sabotage mission, Sally is confronted by someone claiming to be part of a rebel underground. Sonicgram: Once again lists Sally's age as 15. #21 [Apr 1995]: "3 Phases of E.V.E" Pat Spaziante debuts as a story artist. Robotnik unleashes E.V.E. ["exceptionally versatile evolvoid"] to capture Sonic. As Sonic manages to outsmart E.V.E., it simply adapts to another form to compensate. Sonic lures it to Robotnik's headquarters where, assuming a self-conscious form, E.V.E. determines that it is being held back by its biological inheritance from Sonic and Robotnik [i.e., individual cells used in E.V.E.'s creation]. E.V.E. toasts Robotnik, but thanks to some quick thinking by Sonic--apparently, Sally's influence is rubbing off on him ;-) -- E.V.E. spares Sonic and travels out into space on a journey of self-actualization. Is Robotnik really history? That's the tease--stay tuned, probably until after the Sally miniseries. Sonicgram: announcement of the delay in rolling out the Sally miniseries; another special issue (48pp) due out in May. #22 [May 1995] "The Return," written by Ken Penders, art by Pat Spaziante & Harvey M. The story opens with Sonic & Sally MCW (Married with Children; cf. the end of "Sally's Quest" in _In Your Face #1_). Sonic & Sally are out with the kids when, during a lightning storm, an apparition of Robotnik appears and just as suddenly disappears. Have your pencils and scorecards ready to try and follow the remainder of the plot: Robotnik is actually on a satellite talking with Robo-Robotnik from "Night of a Thousand Sonics," (#19), only in this case only the consciousness of Robo-Robotnik (hereinafter "R-R") remains resident. Robotnik convinces R-R to teleport him back to Mobius, where it turns out Snively has activated an alternative Doomesday device which would go off if Robotnik was ever defeated. Robotnik actually deactivates "Operation Wasteland" himself to keep from being ruler over nothing and to have the pleasure of saying to Sonic: "You owe me!" Robotnik and Sonic MWC are declared to be at a stalemate. What about R-R? Who knows? Muddled story saved by Spaziante artwork. "Tails Knighttime Story," written by Angelo Decasare, art by Dave Manak & John Dagostino. As Tails grumps about "get[ting] baby-sat" while Sonic has all the fun and adventures, Sally tells him a bedtime story wherein Sonic is Sir Runalot and Tails is his page who "borrows" his armour one day and who, mistaken for the aforementioned knight, ends up doing battle with Sir Knightmare of Robotannia (guess who?) until the real Sir Runalot saves his...er...tails. Sonicgram: the comics should get a FAQ File, since two letters pepper them with questions (most are answered: "Keep reading." Translation: "we're working on it!"). The cover of Princess Sally #2 in an ad on the same page differs from one which appears on p. 17 of the same issue(!), thus bolstering the "creative differences" theory in Q7. #23 [Jun 1995] "Ivo Robotnik, Freedom Fighter" Story: Angelo Decesare; Art: Dave Manak Sonic, Sally, Rotor, Tails, Robotnik and Snively are all captured by Car-Heem, a giant alien who wants to study them. In order to save Robotnik from "disposal," Sonic convinces Car-Heem that they are interdependent species, a novelty to the autonomous Car-Heem. Thanks to a diversion by Sonic, the others escape their confinement in a craft of Robotnik's design. Although Robotnik blows Car-Heem and Sonic out of Car-Heem's spacecraft's airlock, Rotor retrieves them. In gratitude, Car-Heem returns everyone to Mobius and Rotor, inspired, releases the inhabitants of his ant farm [Heavy Message]. There's also a really bad pun which I'm not going to reveal. Do-It-Yourself Sonic Contest winners announced. "Vol-ANT-teer" Story: Angelo Decesare; Art: Dave Manak Antoine ventures into Robotropolis alone to retrieve Tails' lost backpack with a power ring in it. Bunnie shadows him just in case. Surprising last panel gives the impression that Antoine isn't exactly clueless. Sonicgram: Further indication that Knuckles will put in an appearance in the next Sonic special, though no hint as to his allegiance; look for an appearance by Knack the Weasel [c.f., the Triple Trouble game] in the same issue. #24 [Jul 1995] "When Hedgehogs Collide" (in 4 parts) Script: Mike Kanterovich & Ken Penders Art: Dave Manak (Parts 1 and 2); Art Mawhinney & Rich Koslowski (Parts 3 and 4) Part 1 is taken up witnessing antisocial behavior on the part of Sonic, Sally, Tails, Antoine and Rotor. Part 2 is the exposition as to what's happening: Evil Sonic from "The Good, The Bad and the Hedgehog" [Sonic #11] (hereinafter referred to as "the Antisonic," as in "the Antichrist") is looking for some action, so he rounds up the "gang" consisting of the Antisally, the Antitails, the Antirotor and the Antiantoine. They take the Cosmic Interstate to Mobius, dress like their counterparts and begin doing some damage. So where have the Good Guys been all this time? Sonic, Tails and Antoine had been sent by Rotor into "negative reality" though they were unable to penetrate "the Zone of Silence" (aka, The Void) where Sally's father is being held. Sally's been out on a mission with the trainees (cf. the Sally miniseries). Everyone arrives back in time to incur the wrath of their fellow Mobians. In disguise, they come upon the gang about to terrorize some more Mobians. The first fight turns into a draw until Sally realizes that there's no way they can defeat their other selves, who would be able to anticipate their strategies. So it's "Change partners!" as play is resumed: Sonic punches out the Antisally (this frame alone is worth the price of admission!), Sally defeats the Antiantoine, Antoine stops the Antirotor, Rotor defeats the Antitails, and Tails gets the better of the Antisonic. Since the Antisonic got what he came to Mobius for (a fight), the gang agrees to return to their homeworld peacefully. I guess the ol' doppelganger plot device worked so well in Sonic #11 they decided to dust it off and run it past us again. A valiant effort marred by two Plot Holes and a Serious Omission: PH#1: If Sally could figure out that fighting themselves would get them nowhere, wouldn't the Antisally have reached the same conclusion? Then again they might have spent the entire issue second-guessing each other.... ;-) PH#2: On the homeworld of the Antisonic the SWATbots do all the work and "kindly ol' Robotnik is a grade-A wimp!" At least, according to an exposition by the Antisonic. This then leads us to... SO: Where's Bunnie? Despite a "Sonic + Bunnie" graffiti carved into the desk of the Antisonic [along with "Sonic + Sally," "Sonic + Nicole"--THAT I'd like to see!--and "Sonic + Sonic"], Bunnie's legion of fanboys will be disappointed to learn that she doesn't put in an appearance in this comic, either as Bunnie or as the Antibunnie. If indeed Robotnik is more benevolent on the Antisonic's homeworld, does that mean that Bunnie would be intact (i.e., not partially roboticized) there? Interesting question but one that Kanterovich and Penders conveniently sidestepped for the moment. SonicGram: information on two upcoming "special" issues: the 48-page Sonic & Knuckles special will include a solo Knuckles effort and a lead story involving Knuckles' floating island, and the "Silver Anniversary" issue #25 featuring Mecha Sonic from the CD game (artwork by Spaziante). There's a list of "Do-It- Yourself Sonic Contest" winners who have moved and left no forwarding address. Two fan letters to Knuckles, plus word that Tails will have his own miniseries coming out in the fall. Sonic & Knuckles 48 page special (based on summaries by James Firmiss) "Panic in the Sky!" The Mobians living on the western shore of "the Great Continent" [you'd think that Mobians would have come up with another adjective besides "Great": viz.: the Great Forest, the Great Swamp, the Great Unknown, etc. See also the "all-purpose" use of the word _hriar_, or "thousands" by rabbits in Richard Adams' _Watership Down_. But I digress....] are alarmed by the approach of a floating island. Sally and the gang realize that the island is on course for Knothole; Sonic explains to the group (for the first time!?) that he and Tails were on the island a while back and met Knuckles. Antoine flies Sonic and Tails in the turboprop, dodging antiaircraft fire from the underside of the island. After landing on the island, seeing giant mushrooms and avoiding some traps, Sonic falls into one trap and again meets Knuckles. Since this is the second time Sonic has been caught trespassing, Knuckles is about to send him over the edge of the island. Tails tries dropping a rock on Knuckles from above to avoid this from happening, but it ends up that Tails has to rescue both Sonic and Knuckles by airlifting them to safety. It appears that Robotnik is "hijacking" the island by somehow draining the energy from the Chaos Emerald which keeps the island afloat. Already having established a presence on the island, Robotnik has installed weapons on the underside and plans to use the island as a flying fortress to attack Knothole. Knuckles won't allow the island to be used this way; he smashes the Chaos Emerald. With the island losing altitude, Robotnik abandons it, expecting that it'll still smash into Knothole (though how he suddenly knows of Knothole's location is unclear). But Knuckles replaces the "real" Chaos Emerald just in time--I'd tell you how he switched it with a phony one which was the one he broke, but I don't understand it either. Knuckles turns down an invitation to join the Knothole gang; part of his stewardship of the island now involves disarming it since Robotnik is gone. "Fire Drill" Knuckles investigates an explosion on the island, suspecting that it's Sonic. Catching just a glimpse of an intruder, he follows him to places unfamiliar even to him(!). As the trail leads off the edge of the island, he still thinks it's Sonic; however, we catch a glimpse of a shadowy presence still on the island. Could be a Chaotix character, could be Nack the Weasel, check out the Sonic-Gram in issue #23 for a hint. "Lord of the Floating Island" While patrolling the island on a windy day, he spots a lost joey (baby kangaroo) names Bengy. The kid asks Knuckles to bring back the sky; Knuckles explains that there's an eclipse in progress and that's what's causing the winds. They avoid a pack of (biped) dingoes as Knuckles goes into further exposition about the island-- how it's a paradise which some parties (Sonic and Robotnik) want to change. They eventually find Bengy's mom. Knuckles' exit line: "This is my island! And I live to protect and serve!" The entire story appears to exist to supply needed exposition and to nudge Knuckles closer to the Good Guy category. No SonicGrams, but announcements: Sonic #25 will have a silver ink cover and feature Mecha Sonic; dated August '95. Also slated for that month: a Sonic Triple Trouble 48-page special featuring Nack the Weasel; it will also include a Sonic v. Knuckles story, a Knuckles solo story, and a Tails solo story. Another 48-page special -- Knuckles Chaotix -- is schedules for November '95. Solo Knuckles stories will appear in Sonics #31-33 (Feb-Apr '96) and a Knuckles 3-parter will begin Jan '96. #25 "Go Ahead...Mecha My Day" (the only story in this issue) Story: Mike Gallagher Art: Pat Spaziante based on summary by James Firmiss In a bow to the CD game, the story focuses on the freedom fighters' discovery of the Collision Chaos Zone, a "zone portal." Robotnik tries to lure Sonic into the zome portal by kidnapping his #1 fan: Amy Rose, the pink hedgehog (remember her?). Based on her dialogue on page 14, I'd describe her in Foghorn Leghorn terms: "Nice kid, but about as sharp as a sack full of wet mice." Tails investigates from the air and is captured instead. To rescue both Amy and Tails, Sonic must race through the new zones and do battle with Robotnik's Mecha-Sonic. Spaziante's artwork of Sally in this issue is surprising, in that her shape has gotten...well, more shapely. I don't remember her having that much of a bustline in issue #21! Still no SonicGrams; another repeat announcement of the Triple Trouble and Chaotix specials, as well as the Knuckles and Tails miniseries. Also staff artwork. Princess Sally Mini-series #1 [April 1995] Summary by Ron Bauerle "Deadliest of the Species!" written by Mike Kanterovich & Ken Penders, art by Art Mawhinney & Rich Koslowski. Opens with a nice splash page summarizing the struggle so far and describes the main characters (get this: "Antoine is renouned for his military skills" - okayyyy...). Next it recaps Sally's meeting Geoffrey St. John...in StH #20. Sally & Geoffrey are attacked by SWATbots after destroying the facility and manage to beat them off [hey, Ron, let's leave their private lives out of this ;-) ] and exchange some banter in the process (I can't call it friendly but it's not really sarcastic either). They then head back to the camp where some young trainee freedom fighters are waiting for Sally. Geoffrey mistakes them for enemies and jumps a pig (Hamlin) but they're separated by Sally. This establishes some bad blood between Hamlin and Geoffrey that continues all issue. The team proceeds to its next target (an energy substation) and after battling SWATbots and ORBbots manage to destroy it. During the battle Geoffrey saves Hamlin's life but Hamlin still doesn't trust him. That night, when everyone else is asleep, Geoffrey slips away, activates a teleportal, enters some kind of building and descends to its basement where he speaks to a figure in a glass case: Sally!? Also some fan art: two pics of Sally & Bunnie (both NBD), and one of Sally as a dominatrix (!). Princess Sally Miniseries #2 (Summary by Erich Schulman): The story opens with a fight between St. John and Hamlin, and Sally gives Hamlin a scolding. To reach the third, undestroyed substation, the freedom fighters use a new (!?) technology: hang gliders. Arlo's hang glider is hit by the defenses and he is wounded in action; Penelope volunteers to stay with him. Once inside, Sally and St. John are attacked by an octopod, and everyone barely manages to escape the explosions. Upon leaving, they find that Sally and Penelope are gone. Sally says they will return to camp without them (to which Hamlin is opposed), and they never show up again. Did you have your doubts about St. John? That night, St. John replaces Sally with a lookalike robot and delivers the real Sally to Robotnik. Fan mail (singular; only one letter appears): Will Sonic and Sally marry? "Could be." Has Sally met Knuckles? She will in a forthcoming 48-page S&K special. Does Sally have a mother, and if so what does she look like? "Of course...her origin may yet be told." Or [shameless plug] you can read about it in "Bloodlines" in the fanfic section of Rotor's homepage. "Deadliest of the Species, Part III" Story: Mike Kanterovich & Ken Penders Art: Art Mawhinney (Summary: James Firmiss) (Recap of parts 0, 1 and 2 omitted) Sally, Hamlin and Dylan are fighting their way into Robotropolis with paint guns and grenades (blinding SWATbots). Dylan believes that attacking at half strength isn't wise, yet they press on. Hamlin nearly falls from a collapsing catwalk but Sally rescues him. They eventually reach their objective, break down the doors and find...Robotnik, St. John and Sally (in the container). Hamlin believes Geoffrey to be a traitor so he jumps him. Sally breaks it up and says she and St. John are on the same side. Robotnic reveals that Sally is an auto-automaton, a perfect robot duplicate, and that there was no weakness in the defense system. His master plan is to replace key members of the freedom fighters--we see auto-automatons of Sonic and Tails being built. Robotnik also plans to roboticize the Sally delivered to him by St. John. Robotnik begins the roboticization process but the chamber blows up because a "feedback loop" has occurred. Something which is impossible unless...he were trying to roboticize a robot! The real Sally was with Dylan and Hamlin. Sally tries to 'arrest' Robotnik, but large StealthBots emerge from the walls and capture the freedom fighters. Note: you could see the outlines of the StealthBots 5 pages back. St. John pushes a button on a remote control and a vehicle burrows its way up through the floor. Out pop Penelope, Arlo and three "moles". They help free Sally, Dylan and Hamlin (more paint guns). Robotnik manages to activate a 30-second self-destruct and disappears down an escape chute. Sally and the others all head for the vehicle maintenance area and grab saucer-shaped air cars (from Hanger 18! X-P ) and get out with no time to spare. With everyone back at the base, Hamlin, Penelope, Arlo and Dylan are promoted to full-fledged freedom fighters. Sally tries to convince Geoffrey to come to Knothole but he declines in order to rejoin the Rebel Underground. He does engage Sally in some serious lip-locking before they part. If you're not confused yet, here's a run-down of the plot- twists, as Sally explains them at the end: The FIRST Sally switch occurred right at the beginning of Part 1 shortly after meeting St. John. St. John really was the leader of the "Rebel Underground" and acted as a double agent in order to gain Robotnik's trust and activate the robot double prematurely in order to find out what its plans were. It was the auto-automaton Sally that helped attack the 2d and 3d substations. It was such a good copy that it could give orders, make hard choices, and even grieve for missing comrades. But did you notice the two clues that would have tipped you off that this was an automated Sally: 1. "Auto" Sally wore a purple vest instead of a blue one. 2. "Auto" Sally referred to Geoffrey by his first name, while the real Sally always called him "Mr. St. John." The SECOND Sally switch occurred in Part II, when Robotnik (and the reader) was supposed to think that Sally was being replaced by a robot double. And what about Arlo and Penelope? They were taken away by the moles from the literal Rebel UNDERGROUND. The Rebel Underground was also supposed to be backup in case anything unexpected happened. "This is definitely one of the most complicated stories Archie's Sonic group has ever come up with. Congrats...." JF SallyGram: Horace Hawkins (14) wishes Sally a Happy Valentine's Day, and expresses the desire to be her boyfriend. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

NOW!!! to: SallyGrams c/o Archie Comic Publishing 325 Fayette Avenue Mamaroneck, NY 10543 NOTES FROM THE NET: that's the heading suggested for comix- related posts to a.f.s-h by none other than Paul Castiglia of Archie Comics. Seems P.C. thinks that NftN would make a good subsection of the Sonic Grams, and said so in a recent post. The idea is that you can post to a.f.s-h, and your post (and e-mail address if you want) will be reprinted in NftN. But ONLY if you specify that it's for NftN. Apparently Archie Comics is still getting a feel for whether they should go ahead with the plan, so let's see some support for it!

Herewith, the "Cliff's Notes" description: Ch.1: At the beginning, Sonic is 7, Robotnik is 15, and both are staying with Uncle Chuck (you get some idea of how non-canonical this is going to get!). While Robotnik is only interested in gadgets, Sonic is only interested in running fast. While Uncle Chuck works on perfecting a power ring, Robotnik cannibalizes parts from Uncle Chuck's old tractor for a robot. When Uncle Chuck starts up the tractor, it goes out of control and heads for Robotnik. Ch. 2: Sonic interrupts a game of one-against-nine baseball to move the tractor which has pinned Robotnik and Uncle Chuck. He's able to move it with the power ring and he takes both Robotnik and Uncle Chuck to the hospital. Ch. 3: After being released from the hospital, Uncle Chuck and Robotnik return home. Robotnik's robot confesses to Uncle Chuck that he was put together with the stolen tractor parts, and Robotnik is grounded. Robotnik cobbles together another robot from Uncle Chuck's major appliances; it grabs Uncle Chuck but Sonic defeats it by wrapping it up in a garden hose. Robotnik leaves. Ch. 4: "Eight years passed." Sonic, 15, has a pet dog, Muttski, and works as a delivery hedgehog for his Uncle Chuck's chili dog stand. Sonic tests his new sneakers (designed by Uncle Chuck) while filling a large order, but in his absence Robotnik returns and arrests "Uncle Chuck" and his robots trash the stand. Ch. 5: Sonic delivers the chili dogs to an old factory, walking into a trap. He escapes and returns to what's left of the stand. He destroys a couple of robots who try to capture him and learns that Robotnik is responsible. He heads off for Robotnik's factory. Ch. 6: Stopping in the forest just outside the factory he encounters "a cute little chipmunk girl": Princess Sally Acorn. She shows Sonic a short-cut to the "Ro-Bo-Machine." Ch. 7: Reaching the fence around the factory, Sonic sees that Uncle Chuck has already been roboticized. Sally tries to stop him, but Sonic goes over the fence. Ch. 8: Sonic goes into Sonic Spin and takes out the SWATbots. With Sally's help, they get Uncle Chuck and Muttski and head for the Great Forest. Ch. 9: Sally leads them to "Knothole Village" which is "under the forest floor." (cf. Sonic #0). Sonic uses a power ring to restore Uncle Chuck and Muttski. None of the other Freedom Fighters are introduced. _Sonic the Hedgehog: Robotnik's Revenge_ synopsis: one of the Knothole freedom fighters is captured by Robotnik and used as bait to lure Sonic into a trap. In this case, the victim is Bunnie, and the story supposedly explains how she came to be partially roboticized. This account is at odds with the explanation in the comics. In addition, both Uncle Chuck and Muttski in this book has been successfully deroboticized (see above), which conflicts with "Sonic Conversion" and, in fact, the rest of the second season. _Sonic the Hedgehog: Fortress of Fear_ synopsis: COMING SOON OVERSEAS BOOKS: Martin Adams, _Sonic the Hedgehog and the Silicon Warriors_ (c)1993; _Sonic the Hedgehog in Castle Robotnik_ (c)1994; _Sonic the Hedgehog in the Fourth Dimension_ (c)1993; _Sonic the Hedgehog in Robotnik's Laboratory_ (c)1993: London: Virgin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS II. SOURCE DESCRIPTIONS A. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG EPISODE GUIDE B. SONIC COMICS DESCRIPTIONS C. OTHER SOURCES I. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ============================= Q1: How did Tails come to have two tails? Q2: Is "Tails" his real name? Q3: Is Tails related to Sally? He calls her "Aunt Sally" quite often. Q4: I can't figure out what kinds of animals some of the characters are supposed to be. Q5: "Sally Acorn?" Q6: How old are the characters supposed to be? Q7: What happened to the Princess Sally miniseries? Q8: Does anyone have a theory about Sonic's speed? Q9: Why didn't ABC renew Sonic for a third season? ================================================================ Q1: How did Tails come to have two tails? A: The writers of Sonic comics solicited reader responses to this in issue #___; the replies were printed in issue #___. They range from transplantation to mutation. The latest entry is in the Sonicgram of #22. They state that Tails just happened to be born that way--with no other comment (thus illustrating the difference between an Explanation and an Answer). At this point, there is no "official" explanation as to how Tails got that way, so you're pretty much free to believe what you like. Personally, I prefer the theory that it is a mutation, induced by Robotnik's pollution of Mobius. This would accord with the fact that Tails had not been born when Robotnik took over (cf. Q6). Q2: Is "Tails" his real name? A: No, his real name is "Miles Prower" (you have to say it sorta fast to get the joke). That was his name when he was introduced on the front screen of the Sonic 2 video game. Tails was given as his nickname, and it stuck. Q3: Is Tails related to Sally? He calls her "Aunt Sally" quite often. A:This argument has been put forward by the "Sally is a fox" camp (see below). However, if that were true, then he'd also be related to Bunnie, as he's been known to address her as "Aunt Bunnie." For that matter, it seems that everyone in the Knothole gang refers to Sir Charles Hedgehog as "Uncle Chuck," though he's technically only uncle to Sonic. While it was not explicitly stated in either the comics or in the cartoons, it has to be kept in mind that all of the freedom fighters' families were disrupted by Robotnik's takeover of Mobius. It's safe to assume that they all have had relatives who have ended up being roboticized. As a result, they have become not so much a paramilitary resistance group as a loose-knit family. Sonic, for instance, clearly relates to Tails as if the latter was his little brother, the difference in species notwithstanding. Q4: I can't figure out what kinds of animals some of the characters are supposed to be. A: Admittedly, it's trickier to spot some species in the series than others. Herewith is the list: Sonic and Sir Charles. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .hedgehogs Bunnie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . rabbit Tails. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fox Rotor. . . . . . . . . . . . . .walrus (sea lion, cf. Teitelbaum) Antoine D'Coolette . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fox Sally Acorn. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ground squirrel/chipmunk Sally's father . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fox The identification of Sally as a ground squirrel is based on extended discussion of the topic on Internet {alt.fan.furry and rec.arts.animation). She was also declared to be a ground squirrel in the comics, most recently in the Sonicgram of Sonic #19. As for the designation "ground squirrel/chipmunk", which has been questioned by at least one correspondent, I entered it this way on the assumption that the two terms were synonymous. I have consulted a dictionary, which states that the term "ground squirrel" applies to several kinds of rodents, including the chipmunk genus _Tamias_. Given the present ambiguity, the designation will remain as is. Despite this, controversy continues. Identifying Sally's species has been particularly vexing to some fans, especially those who reason that since Sally's father is clearly a fox, then she must be one herself. It is possible that Sally takes after her mother in this regard more than her father. Cross-species mating is a definite possibility, and an example is implied in the "flashforward" at the end of "Sally's Crusade" [Sonic: In Your Face #1]. At this point, the identification of Sally's nanny, Rosie, remains ambiguous. Given her buck teeth, she could be either a beaver or a woodchuck. Since she is always shown wearing a long cloak, I've been unable to spot the character beaver tail. Final identification is still pending. Q5: "Sally Acorn"? A: This is how she was identified as far back as the beginning of the comics [Sonic Miniseries, #0, Mar 1993]. Technically, royalty do not have surnames or family names in the accepted sense; rather, the title of the personage tends to serve the purpose. Her middle name, Alicia, is apparently seldom used (cf. "Blast to the Past," part 1). If you wanted to be grandiose about it, Sally's formal title would be: Sally Alicia, Princess of the House of Acorn. But in any event it's unlikely that Sally's formal title will come back into use so long as Robotnik is in charge. Q6: How old are the characters supposed to be? A: According to the TV series ["Blast to the Past: part 1"] Sonic and Sally were both 5 years old when Sally's father was overthrown and Robotnik took over. Two other age clues were given in the "Drood Henge" episode: that Tails was 10 years old, and that Sally wouldn't "come of age" for another two years. At one point, Sally's age is explicitly given as being 16, though the comics reportedly put both at age 15. Subtracting 5 from 16 leaves the number of years Robotnik has been in charge: 11. Thus, it would appear that Tails was born after the fall of the House of Acorn. Still, the simplest way out of this dilemma would be to put the age of majority on Mobius at 17 instead of 18; that would eliminate the extra year differential without altering the stated ages of Sonic and Sally (in the comics) or of Tails (in "Drood Henge"). Q7: What happened to the Princess Sally miniseries? A: Archie Comics was supposed to roll out a three-part miniseries starring Sally as the main character. The story actually began with "Deadliest of the Species" in Sonic #20. The cover art for the miniseries, however, differed in subsequent advertisements: one cover for the first issue prominently featured Geoffrey St. John, while another did not. The third issue cover either does or doesn't feature Sally doing battle with a clone of herself, depending upon where you see it. Two different versions of the cover for #2 appeared in Sonic #22. The fact that the Sally creative team PLUS Archie Comics PLUS Sega reportedly came together to discuss "improving" the series (as reported in the Sonicgram for Sonic #21) would seem to indicate that someone had come down with a case of "creative differences." In any event, the "improved" Sally miniseries began shipping the week of Feb 13. Q8: Does anyone have a theory about Sonic's speed? A: How, in other words, is Sonic able to run so fast? Apparently the same way you get to Carnegie Hall in the old joke: practice. I'm serious; here is the only print explanation I've come across so far: "Years ago, when things were right on Mobius, there lived a hedgehog named Sonic.... Sonic was only interested in running as fast as he could. Every day he practiced." [Michael Teitelbaum, _Sonic the Hedgehog_. Mahwah, NJ: Troll, 1993, pp.7- 8]. And that's the extent of Teitelbaum's explanation. Thanks a heap, Mike! Chris Baird may be onto something, and it looks like he wants to force the issue by asking Archie Comics about "The rumor going around the Internet that [Sonic] got his speed from falling into a vat of power rings when he was a baby." Q9: Why didn't ABC renew Sonic for a third season? A: There are now three answers to this question -- one appears to be definitive, but the other two are more fun. Believe what you like: 1) ABC got clobbered in the SatAM ratings because the show was up against the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers on Fox. This sounds Plausible and has the facts on its side: after the November sweeps, ABC moved StH to 8:00 am (Eastern) so it was opposite "Dog City" on Fox. But just in time for the February sweeps, Fox shifted MMPR to 8:00. More effective than any Doomsday device, unfortunately. Source for this item: someone from within the offices of Archie Comics, as posted to alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog. 2) DiC allegedly screwed the pooch by releasing StH animation cels onto the market without clearing it with Sega. Upon learning of this, Sega took umbrage that its property was being sold without its consent or agreement to a cut of the action (can you say "anal retentive"?). Words were exchanged and the show was effectively cancelled. 3) ABC's kidvid programming has lately been adhering to a policy of "two seasons and out" for shows. Though it's possible that some ideas only last two seasons because they're kinda bankrupt to begin with. ================================================================= From owner-sonic@sard.mv.net Thu Jun 22 20:43:03 1995 Received: by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id UAA02872 for sonic-ll; Thu, 22 Jun 1995 20:19:10 -0400 Received: from freenet.calgary.ab.ca by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id UAA02867 for ; Thu, 22 Jun 1995 20:18:59 -0400 Received: from srv1.freenet.calgary.ab.ca by freenet.calgary.ab.ca (AIX 3.2/UCB 5.64/4.03) id AA37974; Thu, 22 Jun 1995 18:15:43 -0600 Date: Thu, 22 Jun 1995 18:15:43 -0600 (MDT) From: "William T.

I found Sonic 26 at our local comic shop yesterday. I don't have time to type up a review although I wanted to make a few comments: Manak is back.. He did the first story and it looks like he forgot to draw Sally's blue vest... Wups. Oh well, It was supposed to be a hot summer day in the story anyway (at least until Robotnik started causing trouble). Art Mawhinney penciled the 2nd story with Bunny Rabbot being one of the main acting characters (instead of her just standing around in the background as usual). Again in SonicGrams they talked about the upcoming miniseries starring our own favorite 'happy fun fox', Tails. It should be out in the fall. You can even write to 'Tails-Grams' to get your letters in early. By the way.. to that new guy on the list who said he had Sonic stories: Hooray!

Uncle Chuck was holding two pointy shoes and a glowing ring. "These are for you.You can travel at Supersonic speeds using them,"said Chuck. "But what about Speed?He needs them more than me!" "Speed wouldn't use them.Your brother's as lazy as a hedgehog." "My brother IS a hedgehog!"corrected Sonic.

"The red Chaos Emerald is west of this vicinity,in sector 9-3."NICOLE read. "That's an Aquatic Ruin!It's WAY too dangerous!"Tails remembered.After pointing this out,Antoine decided to stay put.Then,without further hesitation,they took off. Sally accessed some information about the Aquatic Ruins. "The Aquatic Ruins was an ancient city until it was destroyed by Robotnik.There are readings of organic life on it." "Organic life!Someone still lives!"Minerva shouted. However,the Aquatic Ruins was now a beach,with no signs of anything.However,further inspection indicated a metallic fish...RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM!It had a steel grate in front and 4 fins.Suddenly,Sonic was sucked toward it."Don't worry, I have a plan!"Sonic started spinning,but then the grate opened and Sonic,along with the others,were sucked in.Then the "fish" returned to the surface."NO!That's not a workerbot!"A sea lion said. "That's the second time I was called a workerbot!WHAT is a workerbot!"Sonic said. "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG?!What are YOU doing here?"the sea lion aasked. "We came to find a very specific jewel...the red Chaos Emerald."Sally explained. "OH!I use that to power my fish!You can have it if you need it.My name's Rotor.I know Sonic,Tails,and you,but who's the..." "Squirrel?I'm Minerva." "Rotor,you are obviously against Robotnik.How would like to join the Freedom Fighters?"Sonic asked. "Freedom Fighters?Since when were we called Freedom Fighters Sally asked. "Since now.So,Rotor..."

Sonic and Tails saw Robotnik kidnap Sonic's brother Speed and Uncle Chuck.After learning about his attack on Mobious and recruiting some Freedom Fighters:Princess Sally,the royal guard,Antoine,Minerva (a squirrel),and Rotor (a sea lion mechanic),Sonic must find the last 4 Chaos Emeralds. "The Underground Zone!That's Robotnik's territory!" "Sonic,MOBIOUS is Robotnik's territory."Sally pointed out. "Sonic!I modified the hovercrafts I made before the attack. We should be able to catch up with you!"Rotor called. "Cool,Rote.Hang on tight,'cause we're going warp 7!" With that,Sonic,Tails,Sally,Minerva,and Rotor took off for the Underground Zone (though Sonic was almost sure he forgot something). Once there,they found their first complication...the hover- boards weren't working right.Sonic was able to get them off before the hoverboards crashed...but Sonic and the others landed in a mining cart going downward.They crashed,but no harm was done.Then a moniter lowered from the ceiling,and displayed Robotnik's face."Welcome,"he said. "I believe you are looking for this,"the moniter raised to reveal the green Chaos Emerald."If you want it take it... although you will be smashed like a bug,"then,a gate dropped behind the Freedom Fighters. "Well,I guess we have no choice!"Sonic took the emerald.True to Robotnik's word,the ceiling crumbled. Suddenly,a kangaroo appeared and pushed away the falling rocks.A rock fell over Minerva,and Sonic crushed it.Then the kangaroo pushed away the rock about to crush Sonic.And then, the last rock fell...right on Sally's leg! "Hmmm.She'll be okay,as long as she stays off that leg,"the kangaroo said. "Well,she can't move around a lot.We need to get her in a safe place,"Rotor suggested. "THAT'S IT!THAT'S what I forgot...Antoine."Sonic suddenly burst. "Say,isn't HE in a safe place?"Minerva reminded. "We'll,let's go back...and take him with us."Sally was anxious. "The name's Leaper."Leaper said.

Sonic,holding Sally,rushed into the Great Forest in search of Antoine...and proper sanctuary.Sonic's luck shone, however,when Antoine popped out of the bushes. "Sally,you must see this.It is magnifeec!" "Magnificent,Antoine,magnificent,"Sally corrected Antoine. "Oh,come on." Antoine led Sonic and Sally to a village.Rotor,Minerva,and Leaper met them on hovercrafts. "Ooo.Beaver cottages.How intriguing."Minerva said. "NICOLE,access beaver dwellings.Might as well know what we're living in." "Accessing,Sally.No file on beaver dwellings." "Steady,steady,slow,slow..." "I hate that word." Sonic was in one of the huts,lowering Sally onto a bed. "There.I should be safe here."Sally said. Sonic went outside."Tails,guard Sally while Rotor,Minerva, Leaper,and I look for the last 3 emeralds." "Yes,Sonic.No creepy 'bot will get past me." "Cool.Now,I'm...wait,I almost forgot."

Sonic has collected the blue,red,and green Chaos Emeralds. Sonic needs the pink,l.blue,and purple emeralds. Sonic has 3 new friends:Minerva,Rotor,and Leaper.

"Now how does Sally do this.Hmmm.NICOLE,scan for Chaos Emeralds." "No emeralds in range,Sonic." "Do you think they're in the secret zone,guys?"asked Sonic. "It seems possible,but we don't know yet,"Rotor replied. "There's only one way to find out.NICOLE,scan for trans-dimensional warps." "There are 2 in range.Warp #1 leads to Earth,a terran planet Warp #2 leads to the secret zone." "NICOLE,show coordinates of warp #2."NICOLE projected a holographic map of Mobious in the 100-mile radius range. "Well,Sonic,it's now or never."Minerva said. "And it's now.BANZAI!"Sonic leaped into the warp with the others following.Sonic was spinning,jumping,and leaping off platforms in no time.Rotor slid on his belly directly into the goal,and disappeared.Leaper tried to hit the gate with his head by bouncing off the bumpers...but when he got there,the maze spun 180' degrees,and Leaper hit the goal. When Minerva finally gained her balance,she used her tail to save Sonic from the goal...but after that she slipped again and fell into the goal herself.However,the gate on Sonic's side was gone and he hit the emerald,then disappeared.Sonic joined the other Freedom Fighters on Mobious...with a pink emerald in hand.

"The yellow Chaos Emerald is in sector 1,2,4,8,16,32,OVERLOAD!" Just then,something tackled Sonic.He woke up to find a neon blue hedgehog,also knocked out cold,holding an emerald.Sonic was just about to grab it when he was electricuted. "I don't think so.You're going to have to earn my emerald... in a race." "A race.Don't you know who I am?"Sonic asked. "Dead meat!The destination is Green Hill." Sonic and Thunder got ready. "We start on three.Ready...THREE!" Both hegehogs were off.However,the stranger got ahead of Sonic by 1 foot per second.Sonic knew that Green Hill wasn't exactly around the corner.He thought of Green Hill and his last moments with Uncle Chuck,gazing at the power ring... THE POWER RING!It was still in Sonic's backpack,and in great shape.Sonic got it out,and focused on it's power.Sonic shot out at warp 2...twice the other hedgehog's speed. Startled,the other hedgehog shot a lightning bolt from his fingers,which hit Sonic's power ring.It absorbed the power, sending Sonic warp 3.Not only that,the shot made the neon hedgehog fall to see Sonic standing on top of Green Hill. Sonic met up with the other Freedom Fighters,then carried them to where the glow-in-the-dark pincushion fell.They coaxed him to talk."I was captured by Robotnik.I was due after some other old hedgehog was robotisized.But right before the process was completed,he messed up the control box.He was robotisized,but I was electrified." "What's your name?"Minerva asked. "I don't know.I didn't know anything until the emerald made me remember the essentials." "Well,I name you Lightning,after that SHOCKING display of power."Rotor cracked.He didn't know Lightning would accept the name.He also joined the Freedom Fighters...though everybody expected that.

Sonic didn't have time to check with NICOLE.Immediatly,when the emeralds got close to each other,they flew away...with Sonic trying not to get ahead! The emeralds went into Sonic's hut.Then they started banging on Chuck's closet.Sonic never opened the closet...it was forbidden.But Sonic,and the other Freedom Fighters opened it and saw a white Chaos Emerald...the final emerald.And was in Sonic's house!Why didn't Chuck tell him.Then,it started speaking... "Where have you five been?"It said.The Freedom Fighters were too surprised to comment. "Oh,I can talk.That feels good.Thanks!"The red one said. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?"The white one asked. "We don't know them.They should introduce themselves to us...of course,we all know Sonic."the yellow said. "I'm M-m-minerva,not too mention one scared squirrel girl!" "I'm Rotor,a handyman." "I'm Leaper...KEEP AWAY!" "I'm Lightning...or am I?Oh,I get so scrambled sometimes."

"I'm the yellow emerald,head of knowledge." "I'm the pink emerald and all I do is transportation." "I'm the green emerald,the height choice!" "I create things,take for instance Mobious.And now,I think, is a time for creation..." "NOT ANOTHER BEING!REMEMBER LAST TIME?"the yellow bellowed. "Relax.We'll start this one's life as an adult." The emeralds gathered in a circle and spun.Then they gave off a charge to the middle.It took shape and then the energy turned into a human,which dropped on the ground. "Darn.She's only 11."The pink commented. "It's alright.If she's not defective now,she won't be later. Remember..."the yellow was interupted. "No,I refuse to remember.Let bygones be bygones."Pink said. The human got up."Hello.I'm,I'm...who am I?" "Kate.Kate Chaos.And,you're not a rebel...thank goodness!"

"Ah,Sonic.I see you've met my SWAT-bots,"Robotnik smirked... The red emerald flew into Kate's hand.She aimed it at a SWAT-bot,and an energy bolt zapped it.The SWAT-bot was destroyed.Then,the wall broke down.Millions of SWAT-bots were in front of the hut.Lightning and Kate zapped all they could,but they eventually ran out of juice.The Freedom Fighters were overcome. By listening to Robotnik's babbling,Sonic learned they were in Robotropolis...dark and polluted.They were carried off to be robotisized and turned into workerbots.Sonic still didn't know what workerbots were. "After you learn your fate,you will become my mindless slaves.I'll start with you,Speed,"Robotnik decided. "I'm Sonic I tell you.Speed wouldn't have had so many allys." "It doesn't matter.You'll both be hedgehogs with bolts in your neck..."CRASH!Robotnik was interupted by something shaking the tower in which the Freedom Fighters were imprisoned."What was that?" Robotnik looked out the window.He saw a purple hedgehogs spiny head.A cambot spyed on it,and Robotnik monitered the mysterious hedgehog close-up.And then the hedgehog found it. "Don't look behind you,"he warned.Robotnik looked at the elevator.There,at the ready with lasers,were Sally and Tails.Sally gave Robotnik a blast that knocked him back a little."That's for my leg.HEY!"Sally was grabbed by a SWAT-bot.Tails blasted it,and then a transport-bot crashed through the window right into the robotisizer controls! The hedgehog stepped out.He looked exactly like Sonic,but he was smaller and purple."Hello,am I late?Oh,it doesn't matter."Then,he pulled the jail bar switch and the Freedom Fighters were free. There wasn't much time for questions.The elevator arrived with 3 SWAT-bots,and flybots were attacking.Kate and Lightning blasted bots.Minerva used Tails's blaster (which she was skilled with).Rotor used his screwdriver and slashed the SWAT-bots.Sonic,Tails,and the guest of honor spun through the flybots.Laser shots filled the tower. Robotnik escaped through the trashed transport-bot.More flybots and more SWAT-bots entered.Finally,Rotor whipped out his remote control for the hovercrafts and called them. "Who are you?"Sonic asked the hedgehog. "Just call me Hedgehog X.WHOA!"the ledge Hedgehog X backed into crumbled,taking him with it.Then the hoverboards arrived and the Freedom Fighters made a retreat. "Friends,"Sally started,"we did a lot today.We banded together to stop Robotnik.We formed the FREEDOM FIGHTERS!" "Yah,we did a lot today.Let's go home and take a rest."Sonic suggested.And they did just that.END OF ACT 1 Hedgehog X ------------------------------ From: drazen@andrews.edu (Dan Drazen) Date: Thu, 22 Jun 1995 18:26:25 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Sonic '95?

I'm going to try posting another story some time in July. Looking forward to having you on the list. We now return you to your regularly scheduled rodent. ================================================================ || ___------__ || || |\__-- /\ _- || Daniel J.

This is your only notice! II. SOURCE DESCRIPTIONS A. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG EPISODE GUIDE 1. First Season: 1993-94 Super Sonic Writer: Jules Dennis When Nicole malfunctions, Sonic and Sally go to Robotropolis to get replacement parts. While there, they discover the Forbidden Zone and a being named Lezar. Lezar causes Sonic to lose his speed abilities, and teaches him that he can still accomplish things without it. Sonic Boom Writer: Len Janson While on a mission in Robotropolis, Sally intercepts a message which includes the use of her father's pet name for her. They follow the lead to the Dark Swamp and the remains of Ironlock Prison. In the process, a freedom fighter named Cat is captured. The freedom fighters gain maps to Robotropolis, but the search for Sally's father proves futile. Sonic and Sally Writers: Pat Allee and Ben Hurst Before becoming the principle writers for the second season, Allee and Hurst wrote this account of Sally's capture by Robotnik's forces. Sonic rescues what he thinks is Sally but what is instead a robot double. Back in Knothole, Tails begins to doubt Sally's behavior because of small details, such as how she reads a bedtime story. After first dismissing Tails' fears, Sonic also comes to realizes he's been dealing with a "Stepford Sally." Hooked on Sonics Writer: Randy Rogel In an attempt to impress Sally, Antoine tries to capture Robotnik by himself. He attempts to lure Robotnik into the open with the offer of a power ring, but Antoine is himself captured and Sonic has to rescue him. Ultra Sonic Writer: David Villaire While on a raid in Robotropolis, Sonic finds his Uncle Chuck as a robot worker in a crystal mine. Uncle Chuck recovers his mind and will long enough to help destroy a giant crystal which would have damaged the ecosystem of the entire planet. As Uncle Chuck loses control of his will, Sonic vows to return for him. Sonic's Nightmare Writer: Frank Santopadre The freedom fighters are captured and held on a deserted island refinery. Sonic must not only rescue them but he also has to deal with a recurring nightmare where he unable to prevent Sally's being roboticized. Warp Sonic Writer: Matt Uitz The freedom fighters discover an underground civilization called Lower Mobius and one of its citizens, Griff. Lower Mobius draws energy from a power crystal, but it is weakening. Feigning friendship, Griff visits Knothole and steals the power stone which is the source of the power rings. After fighting off some mechanical rats, the power stone is retrieved. Griff apologizes for his theft and is given a portion of the stone to aid Lower Mobius. Harmonic Sonic Writer: David Villaire After Robotnik launches a robot-manned orbiting space station to locate Knothole, the Knothole freedom fighters use a rocket booster to reach and destroy it. Sonic and the Secret Scrolls Writer: Janis Diamond The freedom fighters journey to Mauga (sp?) to recover some legendary scrolls, but Robotnik is tailing them. Robotnik's ship is hurled off a plateau by a violent wind, and the Knothole gang mistakenly believe he is finished. Will they make the same mistake at the end of the second season? Sub-Sonic Writer: Barbara Slade Sonic discovers a stream of water that makes plants grow at a fantastic rate. In their search for the source, the Knothole gang discover a subterranean creature whose habitat has been disturbed by Robotnik's drilling operations. Heads or Tails Writer: Len Janson On a raid of Robotropolis, Sonic runs into Muttski, his now- roboticized pet dog and vows to return him to normal someday. The freedom fighters also have to contend with a squadron of Buzzbombers carrying an orange defoliant [Agent Orange? Hmmmm...] intent on destroying the Great Forest and exposing Knothole. Artwork in this ep is decidedly off-model. Sonic Past Cool Writers: Kayte Kuch & Sheryl Scarborough Tails finds a baby terrapod and the freedom fighters escort the terrapod herd to Boulder Bay, where they will be safe from Robotnik. Sonic Racer Writer: Len Janson While on a mission to disable Robotnik's power generators, Sonic is tempted into participating in a contest against a super-fast robot designed to capture him. While he engages the bot, Bunnie, Sally and Antoine go after their target: Robotnik's back-up generator. 2. Second Season: 1994-95 Game Guy Sonic rescues someone from capture by Robotnik; he turns out to be Ari, a freedom fighter from another group. Ari directs Sonic to a place which turns out to be a trap. Sonic manages to escape (after Robotnik toys with him), but Ari--whose comrades were roboticized and who was himself deceived by Robotnik--is sucked into the Void. Before falling into the Void, Ari says something about a list of other freedom fighters. Sonic Conversion To my way of thinking, THE breakthrough episode for the series! The Knothole gang test a deroboticizing process on Bunnie, whose partially-roboticized body is returned to normal. Sonic then goes after Uncle Chuck and is able to convince him to undergo the process. However, the process turns out to be only temporary as, in a poignant scene, Bunnie reverts to a half-robot. When Uncle Chuck reverts to robotic form, he captures Tails and Antoine for delivery to Robotnik; Sonic confronts him and manages to break the hold on Uncle Chuck's mind. Uncle Chuck returns to Robotropolis to work as a spy for the Knothole gang. No Brainer Sonic's thought processes are temporarily scrambled while on a mission in Robotropolis. Taking advantage of the situation, Snively convinces Sonic that they are friends. The disruption wears off just as the Knothole gang face imminent capture. Blast to the Past (two parts) Dulcy takes Sonic and Sally to a floating island where they use the Time Stones to return to Mobotropolis on the eve of the planet's conquest by Dr. Robotnik (then known as Julian, affiliated with the War Ministry and supposedly in charge of its dismantling). They also encounter themselves as 5-year-olds and learn that it was Sonic's Uncle Chuck who had perfected the roboticizer process in the first place, though Julian/Robotnik stole the process. Sally and Sonic work to keep their child selves from being roboticized, to prevent the Great Forest from being destroyed, and to make sure that Sally's nanny, Rosie, would not get captured. Fed Up With Antoine/Ghost Busted (back to back episodes) Feeling unappreciated, Antoine allows himself to be made "king" by a group of renegades, unaware that with the office comes the "honor" of being an entree./While out camping, Sonic's ghost story panics Tails, and Antoine once more demonstrates his ineptitude. Dulcy Dulcy begins having overpowering urges to fly to Dragonsnest, a nesting site for female dragons. She, Sonic and Sally, arrive just as Robotnik has captured another female dragon; they then discover the dragon's egg inside Dragonsnest. Taking the egg back to Knothole, they rescue the female dragon who returns in time to hatch the egg. The Void Sonic discovers an opening to the Void while out in the "Great Unknown" [another name for the Forbidden Zone?]. Sally and Bunnie are put under a spell and pulled into the Void by a sorcerer named Naugus, who had been imprisoned there years before by Robotnik and who needs Sonic's speed to escape. Sonic learns what has happened from Nicole and allows himself to be pulled into the Void. Attempting to rescue Sally and Bunnie, he is tricked into rescuing what he thinks is Sally's father but is really Naugus. Sonic returns to the Void and finds not only Sally and Bunnie but the King and Ari as well. He brings them all out, but Naugus and the King have spent so much time in the Void that their bodies cannot handle living on Mobius. Naugus breaks off his tormenting of Robotnik, and Sally's father gives her the list of other resistance groups. On the whole, Sally goes through the emotional rollercoaster ride of her life. The Odd Couple/Ro-Becca (back to back episodes) After a crash landing by Dulcy leaves Sonic homeless he moves in with Antoine, who predictably gets bent out of shape by Sonic's lifestyle./Rotor cobbles together a robot which develops the hots for Antoine. Cry of the Wolf The Knothole freedom fighters search for and discover the Wolf Pack, the remnants of an ancient race who are now one of the other resistance groups. After several unsuccessful attempts to destroy a test pod from the Doomsday Project, Sonic draws it into a lightning storm and destroys it. Drood Henge Sonic and Tails discover an archaeological dig by Robotnik; they learn from Nicole that the object of the search is the Deep Power Stones, and that Robotnik has recovered one of the two. Tails comes up with a plan to retrieve the second stone before Robotnik can get to it. Spyhog On the eve of final preparations of the Doomsday project, Robotnik begins to suspect that there is a spy in his midst. Uncle Chuck's cover is blown, but he escapes capture and goes back underground with a different cover. Doomsday In the season finale, a combined force of the five freedom fighter groups tries to destroy the Doomsday project. Robotnik, however, seems to have too many safeguards built in. As a last resort, Sonic and Sally use the Deep Power Stones. The Doomsday project is destroyed; Robotnik's fate is uncertain but Snively is ready to step into his shoes in a burst of megalomania and overacting. Cliffhanger: who or what does Snively have to help him? We'll never know: ABC chose not to run StH for a third season.

SONIC COMICS DESCRIPTIONS [CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME] Now, direct from the Great White North, Brad Clark summarizes the original Sonic miniseries: Issue 0 "Don't Cry For Me, Mobius" Story: Michael Gallagher, Art: Scott Shaw! Sonic is chased by Dr. Robotnik. After the chase, which Robotnik loses, Sonic returns to Knothole where most of the main characters are introduced for the first time. (Note: Rotor is referred to as "Boomer.") Antoine then announces that there is a leak in Knothole (Knothole is located underground in this issue) that is caused by Robotnik. Sonic defeats Robotnik with a power ring. "The Royal Family of Mobius" Takes place before Robotnik was in power and has Sonic and Uncle Chuck running a chilidog take-out stand. Robotnik destroys the stand and captures Muttski and Uncle Chuck. Sonic meets Sally (with yellow hair and red fur) who introduces him to the rest of the freedom fighters in Knothole. Issue 1 "Run, Sally, Run" Story and art: Gallagher & Shaw! Sally [this time with pink fur and black hair] goes to see Robotnik about the return of her father. Robotnik captures Sally and almost throws her into the "Robo-machine." Sonic rescues Sally only to discover that Sally had wanted to get caught in order to gather information on the roboticizer, using some special boots designed by Boomer/Rotor. Issue 2 "A Crowning Achievement" Gallagher & Shaw! again. Sally decides to wear the "Crown of the Acorn Kings" which belonged to her father, but the crown is missing. They discover a robotic freedom fighter who tells them that Robotnik has stolen the crown and has scattered its jewels (the four Chaos Emeralds) throughout the land. Sonic retrieves the emeralds and Boomer/Rotor repairs the crown. Issue 3 "Sonic Flashback" Gallagher & Shaw! Sonic and Robotnik recall when they were kids. Uncle Chuck invents the power rings. Sonic and Robotnik have an argument, and it escalates until Robotnik is constructing mechanical monsters out of Uncle Chuck's appliances. Sonic then wakes up -- it was all just a daydream -- and resumes being chased by Robotnik. "Why Ask Spy" Sonic is made to look like a robot to trick Robotnik and to destroy one of his factories. In the process, Sonic discovers Uncle Chuck and Muttski who have both been roboticized. Sonic destroys the factory. #16 [Summary by Erich Schulman] "Sonic Under Glass" It appears that Sonic and Sally are tying the knot, having defeated Robotnik once and for all. In reality, Robotnik has lured the freedom fighters to a place called Sleepy Hollow. Once there, they were gassed, put into a sleep, and trapped inside a virtual reality glass dome. As all their fantasies have come true, nobody wants to escape. Uncle Chuck arrives and reveals to Sonic that he is embracing, not Sally, but a broom. Sonic hates to disappoint his friends, who are all so happy, but decides to get back at Robotnik. Sonic gets Robotnik's war machines to reverse course and attack the big guy, so Robotnik reluctantly kills the VR software. Sonic and Sally are reunited, and Sonic concludes that virtual reality is a nice place to visit, but.... "The Man From H.E.D.G.E.H.O.G." Robotnik comes to the conclusion that there is a spy in his midst, since so many of his missions have failed. Thinking that he has found his spy in a mole, he uses the Wheel of Misfortune to randomize his plans to destroy Mobius. On Robotnik's first spin, he lands on "undersea bank heist." Robotnik's lackey's find only an empty vault and the freedom fighters waiting for them. The same thing happens after two more spins. Robotnik finally thinks he has Sonic captured when Sonic and Sally visit Robotnik's casino [Boy, I hope this makes more sense in the comic! DJD], but Sonic narrowly escapes. Belatedly, Robotnik realizes that the Wheel itself was rigged. Sonic-Grams: Aside from now-obsolete announcements, it is stated that Sonic is 15; that Sally is a squirrel (not necessarily a ground squirrel); that Antoine was a donor so that Tails would be able to fly [Yeah, right!]; that Sonic was just a little slow rescuing Bunnie from the roboticizer. On a more useful note, Archie Comics confesses that due to inadequate modelling information, their Sally was a different color from the SatAM version, a situation which has since been rectified. #18 [Jan 1995]: "Wedding Bell Blues" Robotnik gets word of Sonic and Sally's impending wedding and plans an attack. "In the Still of the Night" While trying to determine the nature of the mysterious orb (cf. "First Star....", #17), Sally is called to the bedside of her old mentor, Julayla, just before she dies. Sonicgram: includes statement that Sonic is 15, and a German fan disses Dave Manak's artwork Sonic: In Your Face #1 [1995] "Sally's Crusade: The Quest" The orb is revealed to be a casing surrounding Nicole. Sally, with the others in tow, searches for what turns out to be Julayla's last testament. The significance of this document is spelled out in a "flashforward" at the end of the story. "Mirror Zone" An excuse to practice backwards lettering. Sonicgram: Sally's age is given as "about 15." [Note, if you're going to guess a lady's age, guess on the low side ;-) ] "Tails' Tallest Tale" Tails substitutes for Sonic, putting in an appearance at a con. His exaggerations almost get him into trouble. Artwork by Shaw!. #19 [Feb 1995]: "Night of a Thousand Sonics" In order to defeat Robotnik's latest scheme, Sonic has to call in as many versions of himself from as many parallel universes as he can. Artwork by Manak for the first half, Mawhinney for the second. Sonicgram: The name of Sally's father is given as "King Acorn" (but see FAQ #5). Scott Fulop hedges on when Knuckles will make an appearance and whose side he'll be on. Again, Sally is identified as a "ground squirrel." Hint is dropped as to a Sonic motion picture in the works. #20 [Mar 1995]: "That's the Spirit" Exposure to an antimatter explosion renders Sonic invisible; Sally and the others [Tails being the exception] believe he is dead. The comedic pacing and Manak's artwork mar what otherwise might have been a very poignant story. Great line (Sonic to Robotnik--who thinks he's dealing with a ghost): "Give Mobius back to the freedom fighters, lose weight and get a hairpiece!" "Deadliest of the Species" [Prologue to the Princess Sally miniseries] While on a sabotage mission, Sally is confronted by someone claiming to be part of a rebel underground. Sonicgram: Once again lists Sally's age as 15. #21 [Apr 1995]: "3 Phases of E.V.E" Pat Spaziante debuts as a story artist. Robotnik unleashes E.V.E. ["exceptionally versatile evolvoid"] to capture Sonic. As Sonic manages to outsmart E.V.E., it simply adapts to another form to compensate. Sonic lures it to Robotnik's headquarters where, assuming a self-conscious form, E.V.E. determines that it is being held back by its biological inheritance from Sonic and Robotnik [i.e., individual cells used in E.V.E.'s creation]. E.V.E. toasts Robotnik, but thanks to some quick thinking by Sonic--apparently, Sally's influence is rubbing off on him ;-) -- E.V.E. spares Sonic and travels out into space on a journey of self-actualization. Is Robotnik really history? That's the tease--stay tuned, probably until after the Sally miniseries. Sonicgram: announcement of the delay in rolling out the Sally miniseries; another special issue (48pp) due out in May. #22 [May 1995] "The Return," written by Ken Penders, art by Pat Spaziante & Harvey M. The story opens with Sonic & Sally MCW (Married with Children; cf. the end of "Sally's Quest" in _In Your Face #1_). Sonic & Sally are out with the kids when, during a lightning storm, an apparition of Robotnik appears and just as suddenly disappears. Have your pencils and scorecards ready to try and follow the remainder of the plot: Robotnik is actually on a satellite talking with Robo-Robotnik from "Night of a Thousand Sonics," (#19), only in this case only the consciousness of Robo-Robotnik (hereinafter "R-R") remains resident. Robotnik convinces R-R to teleport him back to Mobius, where it turns out Snively has activated an alternative Doomesday device which would go off if Robotnik was ever defeated. Robotnik actually deactivates "Operation Wasteland" himself to keep from being ruler over nothing and to have the pleasure of saying to Sonic: "You owe me!" Robotnik and Sonic MWC are declared to be at a stalemate. What about R-R? Who knows? Muddled story saved by Spaziante artwork. "Tails Knighttime Story," written by Angelo Decasare, art by Dave Manak & John Dagostino. As Tails grumps about "get[ting] baby-sat" while Sonic has all the fun and adventures, Sally tells him a bedtime story wherein Sonic is Sir Runalot and Tails is his page who "borrows" his armour one day and who, mistaken for the aforementioned knight, ends up doing battle with Sir Knightmare of Robotannia (guess who?) until the real Sir Runalot saves his...er...tails. Sonicgram: the comics should get a FAQ File, since two letters pepper them with questions (most are answered: "Keep reading." Translation: "we're working on it!"). The cover of Princess Sally #2 in an ad on the same page differs from one which appears on p. 17 of the same issue(!), thus bolstering the "creative differences" theory in Q7. #23 [Jun 1995] "Ivo Robotnik, Freedom Fighter" Story: Angelo Decesare; Art: Dave Manak Sonic, Sally, Rotor, Tails, Robotnik and Snively are all captured by Car-Heem, a giant alien who wants to study them. In order to save Robotnik from "disposal," Sonic convinces Car-Heem that they are interdependent species, a novelty to the autonomous Car-Heem. Thanks to a diversion by Sonic, the others escape their confinement in a craft of Robotnik's design. Although Robotnik blows Car-Heem and Sonic out of Car-Heem's spacecraft's airlock, Rotor retrieves them. In gratitude, Car-Heem returns everyone to Mobius and Rotor, inspired, releases the inhabitants of his ant farm [Heavy Message]. There's also a really bad pun which I'm not going to reveal. Do-It-Yourself Sonic Contest winners announced. "Vol-ANT-teer" Story: Angelo Decesare; Art: Dave Manak Antoine ventures into Robotropolis alone to retrieve Tails' lost backpack with a power ring in it. Bunnie shadows him just in case. Surprising last panel gives the impression that Antoine isn't exactly clueless. Sonicgram: Further indication that Knuckles will put in an appearance in the next Sonic special, though no hint as to his allegiance; look for an appearance by Knack the Weasel [c.f., the Triple Trouble game] in the same issue. #24 [Jul 1995] "When Hedgehogs Collide" (in 4 parts) Script: Mike Kanterovich & Ken Penders Art: Dave Manak (Parts 1 and 2); Art Mawhinney & Rich Koslowski (Parts 3 and 4) Part 1 is taken up witnessing antisocial behavior on the part of Sonic, Sally, Tails, Antoine and Rotor. Part 2 is the exposition as to what's happening: Evil Sonic from "The Good, The Bad and the Hedgehog" [Sonic #11] (hereinafter referred to as "the Antisonic," as in "the Antichrist") is looking for some action, so he rounds up the "gang" consisting of the Antisally, the Antitails, the Antirotor and the Antiantoine. They take the Cosmic Interstate to Mobius, dress like their counterparts and begin doing some damage. So where have the Good Guys been all this time? Sonic, Tails and Antoine had been sent by Rotor into "negative reality" though they were unable to penetrate "the Zone of Silence" (aka, The Void) where Sally's father is being held. Sally's been out on a mission with the trainees (cf. the Sally miniseries). Everyone arrives back in time to incur the wrath of their fellow Mobians. In disguise, they come upon the gang about to terrorize some more Mobians. The first fight turns into a draw until Sally realizes that there's no way they can defeat their other selves, who would be able to anticipate their strategies. So it's "Change partners!" as play is resumed: Sonic punches out the Antisally (this frame alone is worth the price of admission!), Sally defeats the Antiantoine, Antoine stops the Antirotor, Rotor defeats the Antitails, and Tails gets the better of the Antisonic. Since the Antisonic got what he came to Mobius for (a fight), the gang agrees to return to their homeworld peacefully. I guess the ol' doppelganger plot device worked so well in Sonic #11 they decided to dust it off and run it past us again. A valiant effort marred by two Plot Holes and a Serious Omission: PH#1: If Sally could figure out that fighting themselves would get them nowhere, wouldn't the Antisally have reached the same conclusion? Then again they might have spent the entire issue second-guessing each other.... ;-) PH#2: On the homeworld of the Antisonic the SWATbots do all the work and "kindly ol' Robotnik is a grade-A wimp!" At least, according to an exposition by the Antisonic. This then leads us to... SO: Where's Bunnie? Despite a "Sonic + Bunnie" graffiti carved into the desk of the Antisonic [along with "Sonic + Sally," "Sonic + Nicole"--THAT I'd like to see!--and "Sonic + Sonic"], Bunnie's legion of fanboys will be disappointed to learn that she doesn't put in an appearance in this comic, either as Bunnie or as the Antibunnie. If indeed Robotnik is more benevolent on the Antisonic's homeworld, does that mean that Bunnie would be intact (i.e., not partially roboticized) there? Interesting question but one that Kanterovich and Penders conveniently sidestepped for the moment. SonicGram: information on two upcoming "special" issues: the 48-page Sonic & Knuckles special will include a solo Knuckles effort and a lead story involving Knuckles' floating island, and the "Silver Anniversary" issue #25 featuring Mecha Sonic from the CD game (artwork by Spaziante). There's a list of "Do-It- Yourself Sonic Contest" winners who have moved and left no forwarding address. Two fan letters to Knuckles, plus word that Tails will have his own miniseries coming out in the fall. Sonic & Knuckles 48 page special (based on summaries by James Firmiss) "Panic in the Sky!" The Mobians living on the western shore of "the Great Continent" [you'd think that Mobians would have come up with another adjective besides "Great": viz.: the Great Forest, the Great Swamp, the Great Unknown, etc. See also the "all-purpose" use of the word _hriar_, or "thousands" by rabbits in Richard Adams' _Watership Down_. But I digress....] are alarmed by the approach of a floating island. Sally and the gang realize that the island is on course for Knothole; Sonic explains to the group (for the first time!?) that he and Tails were on the island a while back and met Knuckles. Antoine flies Sonic and Tails in the turboprop, dodging antiaircraft fire from the underside of the island. After landing on the island, seeing giant mushrooms and avoiding some traps, Sonic falls into one trap and again meets Knuckles. Since this is the second time Sonic has been caught trespassing, Knuckles is about to send him over the edge of the island. Tails tries dropping a rock on Knuckles from above to avoid this from happening, but it ends up that Tails has to rescue both Sonic and Knuckles by airlifting them to safety. It appears that Robotnik is "hijacking" the island by somehow draining the energy from the Chaos Emerald which keeps the island afloat. Already having established a presence on the island, Robotnik has installed weapons on the underside and plans to use the island as a flying fortress to attack Knothole. Knuckles won't allow the island to be used this way; he smashes the Chaos Emerald. With the island losing altitude, Robotnik abandons it, expecting that it'll still smash into Knothole (though how he suddenly knows of Knothole's location is unclear). But Knuckles replaces the "real" Chaos Emerald just in time--I'd tell you how he switched it with a phony one which was the one he broke, but I don't understand it either. Knuckles turns down an invitation to join the Knothole gang; part of his stewardship of the island now involves disarming it since Robotnik is gone. "Fire Drill" Knuckles investigates an explosion on the island, suspecting that it's Sonic. Catching just a glimpse of an intruder, he follows him to places unfamiliar even to him(!). As the trail leads off the edge of the island, he still thinks it's Sonic; however, we catch a glimpse of a shadowy presence still on the island. Could be a Chaotix character, could be Nack the Weasel, check out the Sonic-Gram in issue #23 for a hint. "Lord of the Floating Island" While patrolling the island on a windy day, he spots a lost joey (baby kangaroo) names Bengy. The kid asks Knuckles to bring back the sky; Knuckles explains that there's an eclipse in progress and that's what's causing the winds. They avoid a pack of (biped) dingoes as Knuckles goes into further exposition about the island-- how it's a paradise which some parties (Sonic and Robotnik) want to change. They eventually find Bengy's mom. Knuckles' exit line: "This is my island! And I live to protect and serve!" The entire story appears to exist to supply needed exposition and to nudge Knuckles closer to the Good Guy category. No SonicGrams, but announcements: Sonic #25 will have a silver ink cover and feature Mecha Sonic; dated August '95. Also slated for that month: a Sonic Triple Trouble 48-page special featuring Nack the Weasel; it will also include a Sonic v. Knuckles story, a Knuckles solo story, and a Tails solo story. Another 48-page special -- Knuckles Chaotix -- is schedules for November '95. Solo Knuckles stories will appear in Sonics #31-33 (Feb-Apr '96) and a Knuckles 3-parter will begin Jan '96. #25 "Go Ahead...Mecha My Day" (the only story in this issue) Story: Mike Gallagher Art: Pat Spaziante based on summary by James Firmiss In a bow to the CD game, the story focuses on the freedom fighters' discovery of the Collision Chaos Zone, a "zone portal." Robotnik tries to lure Sonic into the zome portal by kidnapping his #1 fan: Amy Rose, the pink hedgehog (remember her?). Based on her dialogue on page 14, I'd describe her in Foghorn Leghorn terms: "Nice kid, but about as sharp as a sack full of wet mice." Tails investigates from the air and is captured instead. To rescue both Amy and Tails, Sonic must race through the new zones and do battle with Robotnik's Mecha-Sonic. Spaziante's artwork of Sally in this issue is surprising, in that her shape has gotten...well, more shapely. I don't remember her having that much of a bustline in issue #21! Still no SonicGrams; another repeat announcement of the Triple Trouble and Chaotix specials, as well as the Knuckles and Tails miniseries. Also staff artwork. Princess Sally Mini-series #1 [April 1995] Summary by Ron Bauerle "Deadliest of the Species!" written by Mike Kanterovich & Ken Penders, art by Art Mawhinney & Rich Koslowski. Opens with a nice splash page summarizing the struggle so far and describes the main characters (get this: "Antoine is renouned for his military skills" - okayyyy...). Next it recaps Sally's meeting Geoffrey St. John...in StH #20. Sally & Geoffrey are attacked by SWATbots after destroying the facility and manage to beat them off [hey, Ron, let's leave their private lives out of this ;-) ] and exchange some banter in the process (I can't call it friendly but it's not really sarcastic either). They then head back to the camp where some young trainee freedom fighters are waiting for Sally. Geoffrey mistakes them for enemies and jumps a pig (Hamlin) but they're separated by Sally. This establishes some bad blood between Hamlin and Geoffrey that continues all issue. The team proceeds to its next target (an energy substation) and after battling SWATbots and ORBbots manage to destroy it. During the battle Geoffrey saves Hamlin's life but Hamlin still doesn't trust him. That night, when everyone else is asleep, Geoffrey slips away, activates a teleportal, enters some kind of building and descends to its basement where he speaks to a figure in a glass case: Sally!? Also some fan art: two pics of Sally & Bunnie (both NBD), and one of Sally as a dominatrix (!). Princess Sally Miniseries #2 (Summary by Erich Schulman): The story opens with a fight between St. John and Hamlin, and Sally gives Hamlin a scolding. To reach the third, undestroyed substation, the freedom fighters use a new (!?) technology: hang gliders. Arlo's hang glider is hit by the defenses and he is wounded in action; Penelope volunteers to stay with him. Once inside, Sally and St. John are attacked by an octopod, and everyone barely manages to escape the explosions. Upon leaving, they find that Sally and Penelope are gone. Sally says they will return to camp without them (to which Hamlin is opposed), and they never show up again. Did you have your doubts about St. John? That night, St. John replaces Sally with a lookalike robot and delivers the real Sally to Robotnik. Fan mail (singular; only one letter appears): Will Sonic and Sally marry? "Could be." Has Sally met Knuckles? She will in a forthcoming 48-page S&K special. Does Sally have a mother, and if so what does she look like? "Of course...her origin may yet be told." Or [shameless plug] you can read about it in "Bloodlines" in the fanfic section of Rotor's homepage. "Deadliest of the Species, Part III" Story: Mike Kanterovich & Ken Penders Art: Art Mawhinney (Summary: James Firmiss) (Recap of parts 0, 1 and 2 omitted) Sally, Hamlin and Dylan are fighting their way into Robotropolis with paint guns and grenades (blinding SWATbots). Dylan believes that attacking at half strength isn't wise, yet they press on. Hamlin nearly falls from a collapsing catwalk but Sally rescues him. They eventually reach their objective, break down the doors and find...Robotnik, St. John and Sally (in the container). Hamlin believes Geoffrey to be a traitor so he jumps him. Sally breaks it up and says she and St. John are on the same side. Robotnic reveals that Sally is an auto-automaton, a perfect robot duplicate, and that there was no weakness in the defense system. His master plan is to replace key members of the freedom fighters--we see auto-automatons of Sonic and Tails being built. Robotnik also plans to roboticize the Sally delivered to him by St. John. Robotnik begins the roboticization process but the chamber blows up because a "feedback loop" has occurred. Something which is impossible unless...he were trying to roboticize a robot! The real Sally was with Dylan and Hamlin. Sally tries to 'arrest' Robotnik, but large StealthBots emerge from the walls and capture the freedom fighters. Note: you could see the outlines of the StealthBots 5 pages back. St. John pushes a button on a remote control and a vehicle burrows its way up through the floor. Out pop Penelope, Arlo and three "moles". They help free Sally, Dylan and Hamlin (more paint guns). Robotnik manages to activate a 30-second self-destruct and disappears down an escape chute. Sally and the others all head for the vehicle maintenance area and grab saucer-shaped air cars (from Hanger 18! X-P ) and get out with no time to spare. With everyone back at the base, Hamlin, Penelope, Arlo and Dylan are promoted to full-fledged freedom fighters. Sally tries to convince Geoffrey to come to Knothole but he declines in order to rejoin the Rebel Underground. He does engage Sally in some serious lip-locking before they part. If you're not confused yet, here's a run-down of the plot- twists, as Sally explains them at the end: The FIRST Sally switch occurred right at the beginning of Part 1 shortly after meeting St. John. St. John really was the leader of the "Rebel Underground" and acted as a double agent in order to gain Robotnik's trust and activate the robot double prematurely in order to find out what its plans were. It was the auto-automaton Sally that helped attack the 2d and 3d substations. It was such a good copy that it could give orders, make hard choices, and even grieve for missing comrades. But did you notice the two clues that would have tipped you off that this was an automated Sally: 1. "Auto" Sally wore a purple vest instead of a blue one. 2. "Auto" Sally referred to Geoffrey by his first name, while the real Sally always called him "Mr. St. John." The SECOND Sally switch occurred in Part II, when Robotnik (and the reader) was supposed to think that Sally was being replaced by a robot double. And what about Arlo and Penelope? They were taken away by the moles from the literal Rebel UNDERGROUND. The Rebel Underground was also supposed to be backup in case anything unexpected happened. "This is definitely one of the most complicated stories Archie's Sonic group has ever come up with. Congrats...." JF SallyGram: Horace Hawkins (14) wishes Sally a Happy Valentine's Day, and expresses the desire to be her boyfriend. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD! Scott Fulop (Editor) asks if there is interest in a MONTHLY Sally comic. If so, send a postcard with the following: Give me Princess Sally. Monthly. NOW!!! to: SallyGrams c/o Archie Comic Publishing 325 Fayette Avenue Mamaroneck, NY 10543 NOTES FROM THE NET: that's the heading suggested for comix- related posts to a.f.s-h by none other than Paul Castiglia of Archie Comics. Seems P.C. thinks that NftN would make a good subsection of the Sonic Grams, and said so in a recent post. The idea is that you can post to a.f.s-h, and your post (and e-mail address if you want) will be reprinted in NftN. But ONLY if you specify that it's for NftN. Apparently Archie Comics is still getting a feel for whether they should go ahead with the plan, so let's see some support for it! Hmmm, wonder if Sally's e-mail address is princess@frdmftrs.mobius.org ?

Herewith, the "Cliff's Notes" description: Ch.1: At the beginning, Sonic is 7, Robotnik is 15, and both are staying with Uncle Chuck (you get some idea of how non-canonical this is going to get!). While Robotnik is only interested in gadgets, Sonic is only interested in running fast. While Uncle Chuck works on perfecting a power ring, Robotnik cannibalizes parts from Uncle Chuck's old tractor for a robot. When Uncle Chuck starts up the tractor, it goes out of control and heads for Robotnik. Ch. 2: Sonic interrupts a game of one-against-nine baseball to move the tractor which has pinned Robotnik and Uncle Chuck. He's able to move it with the power ring and he takes both Robotnik and Uncle Chuck to the hospital. Ch. 3: After being released from the hospital, Uncle Chuck and Robotnik return home. Robotnik's robot confesses to Uncle Chuck that he was put together with the stolen tractor parts, and Robotnik is grounded. Robotnik cobbles together another robot from Uncle Chuck's major appliances; it grabs Uncle Chuck but Sonic defeats it by wrapping it up in a garden hose. Robotnik leaves. Ch. 4: "Eight years passed." Sonic, 15, has a pet dog, Muttski, and works as a delivery hedgehog for his Uncle Chuck's chili dog stand. Sonic tests his new sneakers (designed by Uncle Chuck) while filling a large order, but in his absence Robotnik returns and arrests "Uncle Chuck" and his robots trash the stand. Ch. 5: Sonic delivers the chili dogs to an old factory, walking into a trap. He escapes and returns to what's left of the stand. He destroys a couple of robots who try to capture him and learns that Robotnik is responsible. He heads off for Robotnik's factory. Ch. 6: Stopping in the forest just outside the factory he encounters "a cute little chipmunk girl": Princess Sally Acorn. She shows Sonic a short-cut to the "Ro-Bo-Machine." Ch. 7: Reaching the fence around the factory, Sonic sees that Uncle Chuck has already been roboticized. Sally tries to stop him, but Sonic goes over the fence. Ch. 8: Sonic goes into Sonic Spin and takes out the SWATbots. With Sally's help, they get Uncle Chuck and Muttski and head for the Great Forest. Ch. 9: Sally leads them to "Knothole Village" which is "under the forest floor." (cf. Sonic #0). Sonic uses a power ring to restore Uncle Chuck and Muttski. None of the other Freedom Fighters are introduced. _Sonic the Hedgehog: Robotnik's Revenge_ synopsis: one of the Knothole freedom fighters is captured by Robotnik and used as bait to lure Sonic into a trap. In this case, the victim is Bunnie, and the story supposedly explains how she came to be partially roboticized. This account is at odds with the explanation in the comics. In addition, both Uncle Chuck and Muttski in this book has been successfully deroboticized (see above), which conflicts with "Sonic Conversion" and, in fact, the rest of the second season. _Sonic the Hedgehog: Fortress of Fear_ synopsis: COMING SOON OVERSEAS BOOKS: Martin Adams, _Sonic the Hedgehog and the Silicon Warriors_ (c)1993; _Sonic the Hedgehog in Castle Robotnik_ (c)1994; _Sonic the Hedgehog in the Fourth Dimension_ (c)1993; _Sonic the Hedgehog in Robotnik's Laboratory_ (c)1993: London: Virgin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS II. SOURCE DESCRIPTIONS A. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG EPISODE GUIDE B. SONIC COMICS DESCRIPTIONS C. OTHER SOURCES I. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ============================= Q1: How did Tails come to have two tails? Q2: Is "Tails" his real name? Q3: Is Tails related to Sally? He calls her "Aunt Sally" quite often. Q4: I can't figure out what kinds of animals some of the characters are supposed to be. Q5: "Sally Acorn?" Q6: How old are the characters supposed to be? Q7: What happened to the Princess Sally miniseries? Q8: Does anyone have a theory about Sonic's speed? Q9: Why didn't ABC renew Sonic for a third season? ================================================================ Q1: How did Tails come to have two tails? A: The writers of Sonic comics solicited reader responses to this in issue #___; the replies were printed in issue #___. They range from transplantation to mutation. The latest entry is in the Sonicgram of #22. They state that Tails just happened to be born that way--with no other comment (thus illustrating the difference between an Explanation and an Answer). At this point, there is no "official" explanation as to how Tails got that way, so you're pretty much free to believe what you like. Personally, I prefer the theory that it is a mutation, induced by Robotnik's pollution of Mobius. This would accord with the fact that Tails had not been born when Robotnik took over (cf. Q6). Q2: Is "Tails" his real name? A: No, his real name is "Miles Prower" (you have to say it sorta fast to get the joke). That was his name when he was introduced on the front screen of the Sonic 2 video game. Tails was given as his nickname, and it stuck. Q3: Is Tails related to Sally? He calls her "Aunt Sally" quite often. A:This argument has been put forward by the "Sally is a fox" camp (see below). However, if that were true, then he'd also be related to Bunnie, as he's been known to address her as "Aunt Bunnie." For that matter, it seems that everyone in the Knothole gang refers to Sir Charles Hedgehog as "Uncle Chuck," though he's technically only uncle to Sonic. While it was not explicitly stated in either the comics or in the cartoons, it has to be kept in mind that all of the freedom fighters' families were disrupted by Robotnik's takeover of Mobius. It's safe to assume that they all have had relatives who have ended up being roboticized. As a result, they have become not so much a paramilitary resistance group as a loose-knit family. Sonic, for instance, clearly relates to Tails as if the latter was his little brother, the difference in species notwithstanding. Q4: I can't figure out what kinds of animals some of the characters are supposed to be. A: Admittedly, it's trickier to spot some species in the series than others. Herewith is the list: Sonic and Sir Charles. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .hedgehogs Bunnie . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . rabbit Tails. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fox Rotor. . . . . . . . . . . . . .walrus (sea lion, cf. Teitelbaum) Antoine D'Coolette . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fox Sally Acorn. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ground squirrel/chipmunk Sally's father . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fox The identification of Sally as a ground squirrel is based on extended discussion of the topic on Internet {alt.fan.furry and rec.arts.animation). She was also declared to be a ground squirrel in the comics, most recently in the Sonicgram of Sonic #19. As for the designation "ground squirrel/chipmunk", which has been questioned by at least one correspondent, I entered it this way on the assumption that the two terms were synonymous. I have consulted a dictionary, which states that the term "ground squirrel" applies to several kinds of rodents, including the chipmunk genus _Tamias_. Given the present ambiguity, the designation will remain as is. Despite this, controversy continues. Identifying Sally's species has been particularly vexing to some fans, especially those who reason that since Sally's father is clearly a fox, then she must be one herself. It is possible that Sally takes after her mother in this regard more than her father. Cross-species mating is a definite possibility, and an example is implied in the "flashforward" at the end of "Sally's Crusade" [Sonic: In Your Face #1]. At this point, the identification of Sally's nanny, Rosie, remains ambiguous. Given her buck teeth, she could be either a beaver or a woodchuck. Since she is always shown wearing a long cloak, I've been unable to spot the character beaver tail. Final identification is still pending. Q5: "Sally Acorn"? A: This is how she was identified as far back as the beginning of the comics [Sonic Miniseries, #0, Mar 1993]. Technically, royalty do not have surnames or family names in the accepted sense; rather, the title of the personage tends to serve the purpose. Her middle name, Alicia, is apparently seldom used (cf. "Blast to the Past," part 1). If you wanted to be grandiose about it, Sally's formal title would be: Sally Alicia, Princess of the House of Acorn. But in any event it's unlikely that Sally's formal title will come back into use so long as Robotnik is in charge. Q6: How old are the characters supposed to be? A: According to the TV series ["Blast to the Past: part 1"] Sonic and Sally were both 5 years old when Sally's father was overthrown and Robotnik took over. Two other age clues were given in the "Drood Henge" episode: that Tails was 10 years old, and that Sally wouldn't "come of age" for another two years. At one point, Sally's age is explicitly given as being 16, though the comics reportedly put both at age 15. Subtracting 5 from 16 leaves the number of years Robotnik has been in charge: 11. Thus, it would appear that Tails was born after the fall of the House of Acorn. Still, the simplest way out of this dilemma would be to put the age of majority on Mobius at 17 instead of 18; that would eliminate the extra year differential without altering the stated ages of Sonic and Sally (in the comics) or of Tails (in "Drood Henge"). Q7: What happened to the Princess Sally miniseries? A: Archie Comics was supposed to roll out a three-part miniseries starring Sally as the main character. The story actually began with "Deadliest of the Species" in Sonic #20. The cover art for the miniseries, however, differed in subsequent advertisements: one cover for the first issue prominently featured Geoffrey St. John, while another did not. The third issue cover either does or doesn't feature Sally doing battle with a clone of herself, depending upon where you see it. Two different versions of the cover for #2 appeared in Sonic #22. The fact that the Sally creative team PLUS Archie Comics PLUS Sega reportedly came together to discuss "improving" the series (as reported in the Sonicgram for Sonic #21) would seem to indicate that someone had come down with a case of "creative differences." In any event, the "improved" Sally miniseries began shipping the week of Feb 13. Q8: Does anyone have a theory about Sonic's speed? A: How, in other words, is Sonic able to run so fast? Apparently the same way you get to Carnegie Hall in the old joke: practice. I'm serious; here is the only print explanation I've come across so far: "Years ago, when things were right on Mobius, there lived a hedgehog named Sonic.... Sonic was only interested in running as fast as he could. Every day he practiced." [Michael Teitelbaum, _Sonic the Hedgehog_. Mahwah, NJ: Troll, 1993, pp.7- 8]. And that's the extent of Teitelbaum's explanation. Thanks a heap, Mike! Chris Baird may be onto something, and it looks like he wants to force the issue by asking Archie Comics about "The rumor going around the Internet that [Sonic] got his speed from falling into a vat of power rings when he was a baby." Q9: Why didn't ABC renew Sonic for a third season? A: There are now three answers to this question -- one appears to be definitive, but the other two are more fun. Believe what you like: 1) ABC got clobbered in the SatAM ratings because the show was up against the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers on Fox. This sounds Plausible and has the facts on its side: after the November sweeps, ABC moved StH to 8:00 am (Eastern) so it was opposite "Dog City" on Fox. But just in time for the February sweeps, Fox shifted MMPR to 8:00. More effective than any Doomsday device, unfortunately. Source for this item: someone from within the offices of Archie Comics, as posted to alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog. 2) DiC allegedly screwed the pooch by releasing StH animation cels onto the market without clearing it with Sega. Upon learning of this, Sega took umbrage that its property was being sold without its consent or agreement to a cut of the action (can you say "anal retentive"?). Words were exchanged and the show was effectively cancelled. 3) ABC's kidvid programming has lately been adhering to a policy of "two seasons and out" for shows. Though it's possible that some ideas only last two seasons because they're kinda bankrupt to begin with. ================================================================= ------------------------------ End of sonic V1 #42 ******************* From owner-sonic@sard.mv.net Thu Jun 22 21:13:03 1995 Received: by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id VAA03291 for sonic-ll; Thu, 22 Jun 1995 21:03:36 -0400 Received: from maily2.prodigy.com by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id VAA03281 for ; Thu, 22 Jun 1995 21:03:21 -0400 Received: from mail.prodigy.com (mail [199.4.137.13]) by maily2.prodigy.com (8.6.10/8.6.9) with SMTP id VAA08707 for ; Thu, 22 Jun 1995 21:01:31 -0400 Date: Thu, 22 Jun 1995 21:07:07 EDT From: AHVT94B@prodigy.com (MR THADDEUS R BOYD) X-Mailer: PRODIGY Services Company Internet mailer [PIM 3.2-342.56] Message-Id: <013.07878565.AHVT94B@prodigy.com> To: sonic@sard.mv.net Subject: Re: Sonic '95?

Q: What speed setting does Sonic have to go for his legs to turn into those swirly things? A: Trans-Sonic Q: What color is Sally's hair? A: Good question! In Sonic Miniseries 0 it was blond with red fur. In Sonic Miniseries 1-3 and Sonic 1-15 she's a brunette with pink fur. Sonic 16 and after she's a red-head with brown fur, just like on TV. (They explained the color changes in SonicGrams #16; Archie writers had little material to base her on until the TV series came out) In a side note: The comic book tends to follow both the Saturday and Weekday television series but follows the Saturday series more closely. Q: What species is Sally? A: Squirrel! (Given in SonicGrams #5, #14, #16 and #17) (Ground squirrel according to SonicGrams #19) Q: What species is Antoine? A: Fox (Given in SonicGrams #12) Q: Sonic's Favorite Food? A: Chili Dogs! "My favorite food gives me alot of.. 'Jet Propultion'" (Yup.. thats what Sonic said in SonicGrams #12 .. eeeww) Q: How did Tails get his 2nd tail? A: Reader mail in Sonic #2 gives a few possibilities: (1) Tails is a mutant! (2) Tails was created in Dr. Frankenstein's Lab (3) Tails has Antoine's tail! [(3) is my favorite] A reply in SonicGrams #9 states he was born that way. A reply in SonicGrams #16 states Antoine gave his tail to Tails so he could fly. Hrm.. I guess (3) is Sonic's favorite answer too! Added comment: (1) is the most plausable in my opinion. With Robotnik polluting everything you're bound to find some mutants. Q: How did Bunnie Rabbot get her robot arm and legs? A: Sonic saved Bunnie from being Roboticized but not before she gained some robotic parts. (Given in SonicGrams #16) Q: Why is Miles Prower called Tails? A: Its a nickname. He prefers Tails over Miles (wouldn't you?) Q: How old is Sonic? A: Back in SonicGrams #7 Sonic didn't want to reveal his age, but he eventually said he was 15 (SonicGrams #16 and #18) Q: How old is Sally? A: Also 15 (SonicGrams IYF#1 and #20) Q: How old is Tails? A: Somewhere I heard he was 4 (perhaps a Sega Vision's magazine.. I couldn't find it in SonicGrams) but a recent TV episode said he's 10. This seems a bit more plausable given Tail's personality. Q: Where is Mobius? A: SonicGrams #9 says the planet is in an unspecified point in space. (Cop-out answer) Q: Who was the king of Mobius? A: Sonic #10 shows a picture of the king. He looks alot like an old male version of Sally. This contradicts the TV series where he looked alot like a fox. Sonic #17 first shows the king as he appears on TV as a fox (in Princess Sally's Crusade). Added note: Very strange to be a squirrel princess while having a fox king. Perhaps Sally is an adopted daughter (or a daughter by marriage) >>Which comic issues did we see the cast memberst?

Story: A lone shuttle flew through the night skies. On board, Packbell sat in the pilots seat with a grim expression on his face. He had been called back to Robotropolis to perform one of the lowest services anybody could be asked to perform, new prisoner orientation. Normally, when a large group of rebels were captured, they were officially charged with treason against Robotnik, found guilty and sentenced to the robotizizer after an agonizingly long stay in the holding cells. Normally, a Swat-bot was assigned to give the orientation, but, for some reason, Packbell had been selected for this duty. As a First Class Commander, prisoner orientation was listed under his job duties, but he was rarely assigned it because both he and Robotnik knew there were better things Packbell could be doing with his time. Packbell sighed as he set the shuttle down in a landing bay. Stopping by his quarters to grab his dress cloak, he headed to the prisoner orientation chamber. The chamber was massive. It had fifty rows of benches facing a raised podium. Behind the podium was a large screen on which could be displayed the many terrible robotization and interrigation recordings that were always made. Packbell stood behind the podium and waited patiently. Soon, Swat-bots began escorting rebel freedom fighters into the room. It was the typical scene that Packbell was so used to. Some silent, some crying, some glaring at him in defiance, families holding to one another. How pathetic, thought Packbell. Soon, the entire group was sitting in front of him. He began to speak from the script that sat in his memory. "As a Commander in the Robotropolis Central Command, it is my duty to inform you that you have all been charged with treason against the Emporor of Mobius, Ivo Robotnik." At those words, some leaped up and began shouting words of defiance. Packbell rarely listened to such nonsense. The Swat-bots quickly silenced them by shooting warning shots over the heads of the crowd. When the crowd quieted down, he continued. "Haveing been so charged, you have been tried based on an evaluation of your general behavior, and have, consequently been found guilty. You are therefore sentenced to the robotizizer after intense interrigation, and a stay in our holding cells until such time as we need more worker-bots." At this some began trembling in fear, while some still haven't recovered from the shock of what was happening. Suddenly, a raccoon who had apparently snapped from the stress, jumped up and made a desprate run for the door. Before anybody could react, Packbell pulled a laser rifle and shot three blasts, each of which slammed into the prisoner, throwing him against the wall where he collapsed in a lifeless heap. The prisoners stared in shock and terror at Packbell, who was still holding the smoking rifle. "Anyone else feel like dying tonight?" he asked, placing the rifle back under the podium "if so, please feel free to make a run for any of the exits provided. While you're here, there's one thing you need to understand. I care nothing for your futile little lives, and I have no reservations about relieving you of each and every one of them." He turned to the Swat-bots. "Take them away," he ordered. As the Swat-bots began to excort the prisoners from the room, Packbell suddenly had an idea. "Wait!" he yelled. The Swat-bots stopped where they were. In a single sweep of the room, he analized each prisoner individualy. After make delibrate calculations, he arrived at a conclusion. "Take the twenty prisoners in the back row to my experiment holding cells," he ordered. "Acknowleged," responded the bots. Packbell was getting tired of experimenting on worker-bots. Some live subjects might just provide some better results. He doubted that any of the prisoners would survive the proccess, but then, that was their problem. Packbell left the prison block and headed for the Scientific Research Building. Sir Charles Hedgehog was widely know among the resistance for his logical attitude and somber manner when it came to getting a job done. What was not well known was that a part of him always craved living life on the edge, and playing the part of a Freedom Fighter spy deep inside Robotropolis was about as close to the edge as one could get without falling over completely. Not that he took the job lightly, he was always very serious about it, because if he were ever found out, he'd be interrogated and either reprogrammed or sent to the scrap pile. Having finished his duty cycle, he quietly slipped away from the other worker-bots and went to the his hideout to continue with a few things he had to do. First, however, he sat down in front of his computer and tapped into the section were Commanders post their daily progress reports to see if anything remotely important had happened. As he scrolled down the list, everything appeared to be pretty much the same, that is, until he got to Packbell's entry: REPORT #:548722226-457B DESIGNATION: PACKBELL RANK: COMMANDER SUMMARY REPORT FOR: 3-14-35 1900HRS -- SUCCESSFULLY CAPTURED 165 REBELS LOCATED IN GREAT JUNGLE 2100HRS -- PRISONERS PROCCESSED FOLLOWING STANDARD PROCEDURES NO OTHER ACTIVITY END REPORT AUTHORIZATION: 458-5874412-55 This is ridiculous, thought Chuck, if this keeps up, Sally won't have any freedom fighters left to contact even if she does find her father's list. He connected to the prison block records to check on the status of the new prisoners. Some could be rescued if they were being held in the right areas. Looking over the reports, he noticed something unusual. The number of new prisoners proccessed was 145. Chuck stopped and thought a moment. Packbell had reported a score of 165, so someone was off by twenty. The more he thought, the more Chuck began to worry. This was the tenth discrepancy in the records regarding prisoners and worker-bots in the last four months, and, in every error, Packbell had somehow been involved. Chuck realized that something was going on, and he was beginning to think that not even Robotnik might know. Calling a messenger bird to him, Chuck dispatched a message to the Great Forest. Deep in the Great Forest, in Knothole Village, the freedom fighters slept soundly. The small bird flew, unnoticed, down past various huts until it came to rest in the window of the hut belonging to Princess Sally. Sally lay in bed next to the window in a sound sleep. The bird began chirping rather loudly until Sally groggily woke up to see what the problem was. Going to the window, she took the note from the bird and read it as the bird flew away. To Knothole Freedom Fighters, Prisoners have been disappearing en route between their orientation and the prison block. Suspect Packbell is taking them to an unknown location for some purpose. Request any ideas on what to do. Respond ASAP Sally looked at the clock on the wall. No matter how serious such a problem was, no one was going to have good, suggestive ideas at this hour. Folding the note and placing it on her nightstand, Sally went back to bed and would handle it first thing in the morning. Packbell walked into a chamber deep in his research center. In the center was a long table with shackles on it. Above it, hanging from the ceiling was a semi-circular piece of metal which appeared to have laser scanners attached to it, which could be moved up and down the length of the table. At one end of the room was a large display screen, and at the other end was a large set of controls facing the table. Packbell went behind the controls and sat down. Pressing his hand to a sensor on the panel, he powered the system. For a few moments, he sat listening as the machine quietly sucked power from the Central Power Core to serve his secret, twisted purposes. Suddenly, the door to the room opened and two Swat-bots entered, escorting a frightened looking badger who they promptly strapped down to the table. "Greetings, citizen," said Packbell in a voice so friendly, it would fool all but the most cautious "You might as well stop struggling, you can't leave." The badger calmed after awhile and simply glared at Packbell. "Now, don't be like that," continued Packbell, still speaking as though he were the badger's comrade "Just because you've been found guilty of treason doesn't mean that we can't be friends. In fact, you should feel honored that you're here instead of back in the prison block. You see, you have been chosen to take part in an experiment that will change the way people think of computers and robotics forever. First, however, I despise having to call you 'prisoner' so why don't you introduce yourself." After glaring at Packbell for a moment, the badger responded. "My name's Hugo," he said. "Hugo? Pleased to meet you, I'm Packbell, but you already know that," said Packbell, smiling. "Now then," Packbell continued "Let's get down to business. All you have to do for this experiment is to lie perfectly still." Packbell pushed a few buttons on the panel, as the laser scanners began glowing. "Oh, by the way," said Packbell "Good Luck." The laser scanners came on and shot down onto the badger. The scanners moved down the length of the subject, examining each and every inch of him. "Preliminary suject analysis complete," the computer reported. "Proceed to phase two, neural pathway analysis," ordered Packbell. The lasers changed color as they moved up towards the badger's head and stopped. They began an intense scan of the badger's brain. "Analysis complete." "Begin Upload Processing analysis." The lasers again scanned the badger. "Analysis complete" Packbell pushed a few more buttons on the panel. "Begin full upload procedure." The lasers changed color to red and concentrated all their energy on the badger's mind. On the screen at the far end of the room, was displayed a 3-D wire frame model of the badger and an imense amount of unreadable information. All seemed to be going well for the Commander and he felt a slight tinge of joy at a possible success. Suddenly, the information on the screen changed. "WARNING! NEURAL IMBALANCE DETECTED." "What!!" exclaimed Packbell, he joy turning to shock. "WARNING! NEURAL PATHWAY COLAPSE POSSIBLE." "Shut down the experiment!" screamed Packbell above the noise of the alarms that had sounded as he began frantically pushing buttons on the panel. The badger's body began jerking about violently. "WARNING! NEURAL SYNAPSE COLLAPSE IN PROGRESS" "WARNING! SUBJECT VITAL SIGNS FAILING." Packbell managed to shut off the system. Walking over the badger on the table, he glared at the still slightly twitching body. After standing there for what seemed like an eternity, he turned and went to the comm. panel. "Send some bots in here to dispose of the body, and bring me another subject in one hour," he ordered. Turning off the panel, he walked back to the system controls. "I'm going to get this experiment right if I have to kill every Mobian on the face of the planet!!!" he declared, and began going through the program for the thousanth time looking for bugs. The next morning, the freedom fighters met in the war room to discuss Uncle Chuck's latest message. "The idea that Packbell is kidnapping prisoners for his own twisted purposes is a frightening thought," Sally was saying "We've got to find out what he's doing with them. any ideas?" "Just the obvious one, Sal," responded Sonic "Jam to Robotropolis and find out." "Sonic, you know we can't go running to Robotropolis without a solid plan. We don't even know exactly what we're looking for," Sally said. She turned to Bookshire. "Have you had any luck locating info on this, Bookshire?" she asked. "Not much," he admitted "Packbell has always suspected that someone's been sneaking into the Core so he code-locks all his personal files. I'm examining other areas to see if he forgot something, but it'll take time." "Well, until we have a better idea of what's happening, there's not much we can do," said Sally "Bookshire will continue work on on the computer system, but it might be a good idea to send one or two of us to Robotropolis to follow Packbell and see what he's up to." Later, deep in Robotropolis, Bunnie and Sonic, both having volunteered to follow Packbell, arrived outside the main Command Center. After avoiding the guards, they managed to sneak inside through the ventelation system. After taking many turns and searching many rooms, the team lucked out when they found Packbell. He was in the main control room with Robotnik. "You still haven't answered my question," Robotnik was saying to Snively "Why are there prisoners missing from my holding cells!" "I really don't know sir," responded Snivelly weakly. "Don't give us that!" said Packbell "Do you have any idea how hard its been for me to capture these tratiors lately. I've gone through a lot of trouble to get them and you lose them!" Snively glared at Packbell. He knew that Packbell was at fault, but, with all the trust Robotnik had invested in his finest creation, he would never believe it. "I'll keep looking into it sir," Snively said rather lamely. "You do that," said Robotnik "If you don't find out what happened to them, I'll give you to Packbell for target practice!" "Yes sir," said Snively, as he turned and left. "Why do you keep him around, sir?" asked Packbell. "You know, sometimes I honestly don't know," responded Robotnik. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I have some work to do," said Packbell. "Of course," replies Robotnik. Packbell, walked from the room and out onto the side walk. As he walked down the deserted street, Sonic and Bunnie followed close behind. They followed him to a small building. AS he entered, Sonic and Bunnie stopped outside. "Okay," said Sonic "I'm going to folow him in. You stay out here in case he comes back." "You got it suger-hog," said Bunnie. She crouched in a dark corner of the street as Sonic went into the old building. Sonic crept down the corridor. He looked around, but saw no sign of Packbell. He contiued down the corridor, certain that he'd catch up to Packbell eventually. Bunnie waited patiently behind a garbage can for Sonic or Packbell to emerge. Suddenly, without warning, a metalic hand shot out of the darkness behind her, grabbed her by the back of her neck and lifted her easily off the ground. "Scream and die, rabbit," said a chillingly familiar voice. The arm turned her around and she found herself face to face with Cmdr. Packbell. "Did you really think you could sneak up on someone with a proximity detector?" asked Packbell, smiling. Without answering, Bunnie drove her robotic foot into Packbell's chest. The Commander was unmoved. "Such is the advantage of dent-proof alloys," continued Packbell "Now, why don't we go find your friend." Keeping Bunnie in a tight grip, he returned to the building. Sonic had searched the entire building and found nothing. As he returned to the entrance, a figure appeared in the doorway. "Greetings, hedgehog!" said Packbell "I believe this belongs to you." Packbell held Bunnie firmly in his right hand. "Let her go, metal head!" ordered Sonic as he prepared to rush the commander. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," remarked Packbell "Your distance from me is such that you could never get to me in time to prevent me from breaking this beautiful rabbit's neck. Now, I suggest you stay where you are unless you believe taking me down is worth your friend's death." Sonic stopped where he was knowing that Packbell was right. There was no guarantee he could get to Packbell in time to save Bunnie. "What do you want?" asked Sonic. "Just the two of you," Packbell replied "I've sent a transmission to my team at the Research Center informing them you are on your way. You will go there and allow them to escort you to a special cell I made just for you. If you have any ideas of doubling back, just remember that all I need is to hear your sonic boom and Bunnie is as good as dead. Now go." Sonic wanted nothing more than to rip into Pakbell and tear him apart, but his logic finally won out. He moved past Packbell and ran off towards the center. "You're friend appears to be a very reasonable person," Packbel remarked to Bunnie as they started for the center. "You'll never get away with this," said Bunnie defiantly. Packbell smiled. "Well, well, another satisfied member of the cliche of the month club," he said. In a lightning move, he shifted his grip on her neck, robbing her of her conciousness. He continued walking towards the Research Center where his experiment awaited. Arriving at the Center, Packbell proceeded directly to the holding cells where Sonic sat in a cell guarded by ten Swat-bots. Still keeping the unconcious Bunnie in his grip, he gazed at Sonic through the force field. "What's the deal, Packbell," demanded Sonic "What have you been doing with these 'extra' prisoners?" "That isn't your concern at the moment. However, you'll find out soon enough," said Packbell "It was a tough decision, but I have decided that you will be the next subject for my experiment." Packbell pushed a button on the wall. Suddenly, Sonic cell was filled with sleeping gas. Sonic collapsed to the floor. Packbell turned to one of the bots. "Take the hedgehog to the chamber," he ordered. As Sonic began to wake, he realized he was strapped tightly to a long metal table in the middle of a large room. Looking around, he saw Bunnie in the tight grip of a Swat-bot while Packbell began to power the machine. Sonic struggled to break free, but something was holding him in place. Watching him struggle, Packbell grinned. "Force fields are wonderful things aren't they," he remarked "Just relax. I've worked out all the bugs this time so there shouldn't be any problems. Granted, thats what I thought the last five times I tried it, but this time I'm sure." "Is that what you do with those prisoners?" demanded Bunnie "You experiment on them?" "Of course," answered Packbell, casually "The worker-bots just weren't delivering the results I had hoped for. They kept having neural breakdowns and had to be scrapped. Some saved me the trouble by exploding. Very intersting effects, but they were setbacks just the same." "You're insane, Packbell," yelled Sonic. "Yeah, and you're fast. Do you think I care?" stated Packbell as the system powered up. THe system indicated it's readiness. Packbell paused for a moment and gazes at Sonic, lying strapped to the table. "See you in infinity," he said, simply. He flipped a switch on the panel. Later, that was the last thing Sonic remembered. . . "Cold . . .I'm cold." such was Sonic's first thought. Before he was aware of his surroundings, even before he was aware of his own body, he knew he was cold. It wasn't quite like any cold he had remembered feeling before. It was hard for him to tell if the cold was coming from him or from the darkness surrounded him. After what seemed an eternity, he began to regain some of his senses. His body was in one piece, at least that's how it felt. However, for some reason, it wouldn't move. No matter what he tried, it wouldn't respond to him. He tried to get a bearing on where he was, but all that surrounded him was dark. There was no light anywhere. What had happened? Sonic's mind felt strange and fuzzy. He could barely recall who he was much less what had happened to bring him to this dark place. He vaguely recalled a machine of some kind, and a tall, artificial person who he knew he should know, but had forgotten for some reason. He remembered the words, "See you in infinity". Was that where he was? Was this what infinity looked like? As he thought, more questoins seemed to pile up. Questions that he didn't have answers for. For one of the few times in his life, Sonic the Hedgehog became frightened. He didn't know where he was or why he was there, he couldn't see, he couldn't move, he couldn't hear . . . or could he? Sonic could barely make out a soft, distant humming sound which seemed to rise in volume and then fade again at irregular times. And so, Sonic continued to float aimlessly through a dark, sightless void with his own thoughts, and a distand hum as his only companions. The words "Procedure Successful" continued to flash on the control screen. Packbell stood behind his control panel staring at the words for what seemed an eternity before turning to the Swat-bot holding Bunnie. "Would you take the prisoner and wait outside," he said "I'll send for you in a minute." After Bunnie had been removed, Packbell turned back to the screen. "YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he cried out as he began dancing in happiness. After all that work and all those failures, his machine finally worked. It was several minutes before he was able to calm himself. He called the Swat-bot back in. "Computer, what is the status of the body?" he asked. "Body is being maintained on full life support. All systems normal." "What did you do to him, Packbell!" demanded Bunnie. "The same thing I'm going to do to you my dear," replied Packbell. The table holding Sonic slid silently out of the way as another table came up from the floor under the laser scanners. The Swat-bot took Bunnie over to it where it strapped her down. "You see, my dear," began Packbell "The one thing I've always admired about Robotnik is his ability to make people suffer. The robotizizer is, in my experience, one of the best devices in existence for causing such suffering. Not only does it turn the victim's life into a living nightmare, but it also provides free slave labor. However, it has it's flaws. The person's senses are maintained so that they are aware of what's going on. I've recently become aware that, because of this, worker-bots have the capability to break their spell of submission." Bunnie froze for a moment, hoping he wassn't refering to Uncle Chuck. "Fortunately, I have yet to hear of such a thing. You see, the purpose of this machine is to upload a person's mind into the computer, leaving their body to be robotizized and given the neccessary progamming for it to function. The person, however is stored in the computer which is a living nightmare in itself since I or anyone else can toy with them, torture them or erase them. Therefore, we have the same purpose of a robotizizer, but this eliminates the possiblity of worker-bots turning on us." Bunnie stared at Packbell as he told his tale of horror. "You'll never get away with this," she said. "You keep saying that," Packbell said as he walked behind the control panel "Sometimes I think that's the freedom fighters motto. Oh well." Packbell flipped the switch and the process began again. Back in Knothole, Sally was getting worried. Sonic and Bunnie were supposed to have reported back hours before and they didn't. A trip to Bookshire's house proved fruitless as he was unable to locate any records of their capture. "Where could they possibly be!" complained Sally as she stood in Bookshire's computer room "It's not like them to not come back. Are you sure there isn't anything on them on the computer, Book? "I looked at every prisoner info file that my software could access, but they weren't mentioned anywhere. Chances are, the ywere captured, but somebody didn't make a record of it," Bookshire responded. "Now what reason would anyone have for not making a record?" asked Sally. Before she even finished talking, she remembered why they were there in the first place. "If Packbell captured them, they could be in serious trouble!" she exclaimed "I'm taking Dulcy, Rotor and the others to get them out. If you find out what's going on, contact us on the secured channel."? Bookshire nodded, knowing it was the only choice at the moment "You have my word, your highness." Packbell walked back to the research center looking extremely pleased with himself. Not only had he gotten his machine to work, but there was nothing he loved more than seeing Robotnik yelling at Snively. However, it was work time again and he had two things he needed to take care of, and he meant to do so by the end of the day. Returning to the experimentaion chamber, he paused briefly by the lifless bodies of Sonic and Bunnie which were only being kept functioning buy artificial means. He'd have them robotizized eventually, but now, it was time for some fun. Sitting behind the control panel, he turned on the computer links and the moniters as he accessed two files that had been displayed. . . Sonic had floated endlessly in the darkness. All he had been able to listen to was the soft hum. Suddenly, without warning, the hum increased to a loud roar for a split second as blinding light flased before his eyes for an instant. The next thing he knew, he was lying on his back on some cold surface staring up at an endless sky. He had a pounding headache. He lay there for a few moments wishing it would go away when he heard a slight groan of to his right. Sitting up and turning his head slightly he saw Bunnie lying on her back, also with what appeared to be a pounding headache. What made Sonic almost jump with surprise, however, was the fact that Bunnie didn't appear to be robotizized. Gone completely were the metallic legs and arm that had plagued Bunnie's existence for years. He was at her side in a second. "Bunnie, you okay?" he asked. Bunnie groaned for a second, holding her hand to her head. "Ohh, ya'll tell the guy with the jackhammer to layoff, would ya'" she mumbled. "Come on, Bunnie, snap out of it," Sonic urged gently. Bunnie opened her eyes and slowly sat up. "Where are we?" she asked. "I don't know," Sonic relied. He wished he could tell her more, but he really didn't know what else to say. Suddenly saw that she was no longer robotizized. For several moments she was speechless. "oh my stars!" she declared. "I know," Sonic said "I really wish I knew what was happening." bunnie didn't seem to hear him. "It's...it's like I was never robotizized," she said, testing her limbs carefully. "You never were," a chilling voice said. Bunnie and sonic looked up suddenly. Up in the sky a large screen had appeared an Packbell had appeared in it. "The person known as Bunnie Rabbot was NEVER robotizized," Packbell continued "Only her body was. Her conciousness is not effected by physical trauma." "Packbell!" shouted sonic in anger "You've got ten seconds to tell me what's going on or I'll rip you apart!" Suddenly, what looked like liquid metal sprang out of the ground and wrapped itself around Sonic, virtually tying him to the ground in an unbreakable restraint. Packbell smirked. "You're in my world now and in no position to make demands," he stated "Here, everything is in my control...even you. If I wanted to I could erase you from existence in a second...but I won't. I'd ratehr have some fun with you first." Packbell grinned... Bookshire had been up most of the night trying to figure out what was going on, but he had absoluetly no luck. He now sat befor his computer, trying to think of where he had not looked. Long before, he had given up looking in the logical places and now he was looking where ever he could. He took a sip from his cup of coffee as he watched the various pieces of information scroll by. Suddenly, he stopped. In front of him was an entry for an energy requizition to the Research Center requested by Cmdr. Packbell. "Yes!!" bookshire exclaimed. He quickly accessed the the Research Center Files and came across a secured file regarding Packbell's research. Fortunately, Packbell seemed to have forgotten to code lock it so reading it would be no problem. He sat silently as he accessed the file information and read through the details of Packbell's horrible assignment. After he had read through half of it, he decided to get into the support files section and see what was there. As the filenames scrolled by, two names caught his eye: sonic.con 158MB Status: ACTIVE bunnie.con 146MB Status: ACTIVE He sat there looking at the names for a moment. The horrible reality suddenly dawned on him that they must have been successfully uploaded. Not wasting a moment, he quickly began to search for a way to reverse the proccess while he alerted Sally's strike team in Robotropolis. Back in Robotropolis, Sally, and Rotor, sat hiding behind a garbage dumpster outside the research Center while Ducly stood up on top of a nearby building acting as a lookout. Rotor crouched by Sally as they listened to Bookshire's information on Sally's com-link. "...and the lab they're in is on the third sub-level," Bookshire finished. "But, how are we going to get in there?" Rotor asked, peeking out from behind the dumpster "The place is surrounded by SWAT-bots. We go in there and we'll be captured for sure." "I'm working on it," Bookshire responded "I'm trying to see if I can send them a false order and get them to leave...stand by..." Bookshire's fingers flew across his keyboard as he issued various vocal commands to his system. After a moment, he was able to access the area of the system for issuing orders, and commanded the SWAT-bot's to surround and guard one of the distant factories. He sat back and waited for a sign that it had worked. Suddenly, the com-link crackled to life. "It worked, Book," said Sally "The bots are moving away, and we're going in...Dulcy, keep guard up there, we'll call you when we need you..." "You got it, sally" said Dulcy. "...and Book, stay on the line in case we need you," finished Sally. "I'll be here," responded Bookshire. He returned to his computer, hacking his way back into the Research Center files as he waited for sally's command. Sally and rotor watched carefully as the bots dispersed. As soon as it was clear, they ran for the door. It was locked, but was quickly unlocked thanks to some quick tinkering on the part of Rotor. Sneaking into the building, they quietly made their way downstairs. The lab was silent as Sally and Rotor quietly entered. Against the far wall, they could see the bodies of Sonic and Bunnie still being held on life support. The ystopped for a moment as the noticed Packbell sitting at the controls, but it seemed as though he was unaware of their presence. The two cautiously approached Packbell. He was sitting in his chair behind the console, his eyes closed and his left hand pressed into some kind of direct interface. Sally backed away a bit and whispered into her com-link. "We're in, bookshire," she said "Packbell's behind the console, but I don't think he notices us." "Okay, hang on," came the reply "I'm trying to access the experiment controls. It might take awhile so jsut sit tight." "Affirmative, we'll be waitng," Sally replied. Deep inside the system, Packbell's construct grinned as he paced thoughtfully around his two prisioners, both held to the ground by the strange silver metal. "You know," he said "I've always dreamed of what I'd do when I got my hands on you. The problem is, I have so many ways to kill you, but you can only die once...decisions, decisions..." Sonic glared at Packbell defiantly. "So this is how you're going to kill us?" he responded "By boring us to death with speeches?!" Packbell grinned "True, I could do that. Honestly, I could, and yet...that wouldn't be much fun. Oh, I know! Maybe I'll have you erased from the system, byte by painful byte...and I'd make sure it hurt! ;)" Suddenly, Sonic's and Bunnie's images flickered for a moment. Packbell frowned suddenly and looked up in the sky. Bunnie looked at Sonic nervously as they flickered again "What's happening to us?" "Don't know," he replied. Suddenly, Packbell's eyes opened wide. "The link!! Someone's got control of the System!!" he screamed, vanishing in a flash of light. Packbell's construct reappared inside a communications node. he quickly identifed the intruding link and jammed it. Bookshire stopped a moment as he saw his link to Packbell's sytem wavering. He thought for a moment and grinned. "Sorry, Packbell," he said to himself "You're not stopping me that easy." Packbell's attention flew suddenly to a bypass link on another node. "Not so fast, Freedom Fighter!" he exclaimed. Bookshire saw the words flash across the screen and thought for a moment. "Granted...maybe not as fast as Sonic," he said as he began typing into his system "but a heck of a lot faster than you." Suddenly, Packbell noticed connections coming in from over 100 different locations. He quickly moved, dividing himself down to cover the links and prevent access to his control system. He laughed defiantly. "Create as many links as you want, Freedom Fighter! I'll block them all!" Bookshire grinned. Packbell had fallen for it. He calming pulled a disk out his top drawer and slid it into his computer. He activated the program stored on it and paused it a moment. He quickly typed in commands, sending instructions to the global nodes he used to open 1000 more connections. he knew Packbell would block them all, but, the more he blocked, the more weak and spread out he became. Packbell, divided himself down again as the connections kept coming in, his conciousness flying from node to node blocking the connections, completely oblivious to the trap he was falling into. Bookshire grinned a little as he activated the program. "bye, bye," he said quietly. Packbell paused in a node as he blocked the connections. Suddenly, he saw something flying towards him. Too late, he realized it was a copy of the 'Black Death' computer virus. He tried to pull himself back together, but the virus slammed right into him. Sally and rotor had been waiting patiently for info from Bookshire. Suddenly, the console Packbell was sitting at exploded, flinging the android back into the wall. Sally and Rotor jumped in suprise at the explosion and dove for cover. suddenly, rotor noticed that the laser system activated and began scanning Sonic and Bunnie's bodies. Sally's com-link crackled to life. "I'm in...I've begun the download process," came Bookshire's voice "As soon as its complete,get them out of there, I've infected the system and it's going to blow!" "Acknowleged," Sally replied. They ran over to the bodies as Sonic and Bunnie were downloaded back into them. sally glanced over at where Packbell laid. It was quite obvious that he wasn't even functioning. As soon as the download proccess was completed, Sally and Rotor each grabbed an unconcious body and ran from the room as equipment began exploding around them. They ran out of the building where they were prmptly retrieved by Ducly. as they flew off into the air, they heard the huge boom as the Robotropolis Research Center went up in flames, taking Packbell with it. Sally watched the destruction solumnly as she held Sonic in her arms, finding it hard to believe that one of the many threats to freedom on Mobius was actually dead. Sonic and Bunnie awoke a few hours after returning to Knothole. After looking them both over, Bookshire reported that they'd both be fine. A few nights later, Sonic and Sally were sitting by a thick log in the forest, gazing up at the stars. Sonic sighed. Sally smiled "What's the matter?" "Well, sal, this worlds now a little more boring than it used to be. Packbell was a major challenge and now he's gone." "You can't have possibly liked it when he was around," Sally replied. "Well, in a way I did. Sal, I gotta have action, I gotta have adventure! Now there's only Robotnik left to give it to me. sometimes I wonder what I'd do if and when we finally beat him," Sonic replied. Sally turned to him, smiling. Sonic knew she only smiled like that when they were alone by this log. "Well, I'm sure we'll be able to find things for you to do," she said. Sonic grinned and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her gently. "Yeah, probably..." He leaned forward and kissed her deeply. the two laid there until late into the night, talking and kissing...and kissing. THE END...or is it... Epilogue: A lone shuttle flew silently through the early morning darkness. In the pilot's seat, a lone figure sat quietly. He had a metallic skin and an evil glint in his eye. deep within his mind was nothing but hatred and rage. No one kills me, he thought quietly, no one.

There IS a whole block full of prisoners, isn't there, he thought as the shuttle landed. He got out of the shuttle and left the bay, heading towards the prision block...Packbell was back.

Yes, it _was_ a mistake. The message was intended to be sent to the person whose signature it was (hence the subject: Your .sig), but it was mistakenly addressed to the list.

Oh, sorry. You're the new guy, huh? (New guy, new guy! Hee, hee!) Well, head over to http://www.primenet.com/~rotor and pick up some stories with Commander Packbell in them. This is his profile (which is also on the web site) in case you're interested: Profile: 02 Name: Packbell Species: Artificial Lifeform (humanoid) Sex: Male simulation Age: 8 War standing: Robotnik sympathizer Occupation: Commander, 1st class, Robotropolis Central Command Specialties: offensive and defensive battle strategies, robotizizing people, pushing Snively around Summary: Packbell is the first android in the history of Mobius to be declared a fully functioning artificial lifeform. He possesses intelligence, self-awareness, as well as basic emotions. He was a prototype designed by Robotnik just after the takeover, but the fact that the android turned out to be as smart as he was caused Robotnik to scrap the entire project. Since the takeover, Packbell has been personally responsible for the location and destruction of twelve groups of rebel freedom fighters and the consequent capture and robotization of over 400 citizens. He track record is flawless, and he never loses. Despite having basic emotions, most freedom fighters throughout the globe know that he never shows anyone any mercy. When he's not terrorizing rebels, he hangs around the Robotropolis Command Center either goofing off or finding ways to annoy Snively. He is considered to be arrogant and conceited. What is not well known is that, under his loyal exterior, he waits patiently for the time when he can overthrow Robotnik and rule Mobius himself. -B.B.

He anserd a few he knew of but he knows less then we do. First off. The PC Sonic CD game was planed to be relasced at the end of the year but it might change. It is also beleaved that someone on the Internet made a Sonic game for PC but ofcourse agenst sega copyright. And finily they are more dirty sonic pictures on the net then we think. Infact he showed me one he had (Makes me wonder). I did NOT like it one bit. It was tails geting ready to (UHH YOU KNOW) Sonic. And he told me that there are alot of other pictures like that on the net aswell. such as sonic and sally (You know what)ing and other ones of sonic and tails. As for the rest of the rumers he had no clue about. If anyone has heard any other rummers let me know. PS. I will try to get him to join the list but for some reason he doesn't want to.

I've bought Issue's #1 and #2 of the "Princess Sally" mini-series, but I haven't been able to find #3 anywhere in Austin. Also, you can only buy all three issues at once through the mail-order form. So can anyone on this list get a copy of "Princess Sally #3" for me? I'll pay back for the comic and the shipping, of course. BTW: So what did people think about the mini-series ( I read the synopsis of #3 in the FAQ, so I already know what happened there. )? A big chunk of issues #1 and #2 were just fight scenes with robots. But I did like the scheme involving Geoffrey. Much better writing than the "Sonic" issues had a year ago. And I really liked Geoffrey St. John's character design. Sonic, like most other mainstream male furries, is drawn as a ball with pipe-limbs stuck in him. But Geoffrey has a physique that's as anthropomorphic as Sally's. And he's drawn very muscular, but not to the point of caricature, like Arnold in TTA. See ya around - Juan F.

Foreword: In more than one issue of the STH comic the so-called "Cosmic Interstate" has been mentioned. Most noted was issue #19 (I believe), "Night of a Thousand Sonics", which noted that there were (in theory) many, many versions of the hedgehog. But what are these other realms like? What are the others like in them? Is Bunnie always such a babe in them (Sorry, that just slipped out)? Let us look at one... Offramp #14-a-347-bx-2, Mobs in the age of high fantasy... Prologue "Know, oh Prince. that in the age of the House of Acorn, when a darkness rose from the bitter East to cleave the Kingdom and to bring strife and misery to the children of Karuis, there came Son- Ak, a thief, a reaver, a runner, who had sought only adventure but found himself n the path of heroes, who won a crown and a bride by the strength of his good right arm and the swiftness of his feet. Or something like that. I really don't remember, I haven't had enough sleep." The chronicles of Mandar the Insomniac It was mostly rain that day, rain and mud, and the lost warrior trudged through the thick gruel that water and dust had made of the road with an expression of bitter annoyance and a heart filled with growing mayhem. In time, he came to a roadside tavern, and entered with considerable depression. A barmaid took a single look at him and quailed. Understandably, for the warrior was an intimidating sort. Tall for a hedgehog-- over three feet, in fact-- clad in a hide tunic and boots, and carrying a large battleaxe on his back, he had the still visible marks of battle scars under his frontal fur. His quills were longer and sharper than the usual for his kind, and were styled in an intimidating blade-like fashion, and were of the blue color peculiar to the barbarian tribes of the northlands. The warrior took a seat at an unoccupied table, and the barmaid, urged on by the tavern keeper, approached uncertainly. Her life wasn't the easiest, and she feared that the fearsome stranger would grab at her, or yell, or something frightening. But he merely growled for ale and food, tossing a few copper coins down-- enough to pay for his desires. And sulked. "Man, I HATE rain." After a few moment, the barmaid bought a plate of sausages and cheese, some bread, and a pitcher of ale to the table. She began to leave, when the hedgehog began to do something odd. First he cut two slender pieces of bread from the loaf, then placed a sausage on one, scraped off bits of cheese onto it, sighed, and covered the whole with the other slice of bread. "Wish I had some stew for this," he mumbled quietly. "Always goes better with some stew." The stranger ate in silence then, silence unbroken except for the sipping of ale and the occasional unquiet burp. "He's... not very polite," whispered the barmaid to the innkeeper. "Look at his dress, lass. He's a barbarian, a northern warrior. You think he's used to doilies and fingerbowls?" "As though you had any," sniffed the barmaid, and returned to the other customers. The hedgehog finished his meal in (relative) silence, and paid for a room in back. He entered, still silent, still sulking. And fell into a fitful sleep... speed... the speed of the Chosen... blue wind and golden fire... The noise of the barmaid's screams broke the hedgehog's unpleasant dream. With long-practiced reflexes he leapt to his feet, grabbed his axe, and cast open his door. He didn't really expect anything-- perhaps some patron who had drank too much and could not handle it too well had got too "friendly", at worst some bandits of some sort-- whatever, it would hardly be any-- For a second, the warrior thought they were soldiers of some sort, in strange armor. But the movements were wrong, there were no joints. The barbarian realized that they were statues of some dark metal, bought to life by some hellish spell. For the first time in weeks, Son-ak the Blue grinned. Almost casually he began to whirl his battleaxe in a circle, but rather than the usual two or three swings most would have used, (to intimidate) Son-ak continued to spin the blade, faster and faster, until it was a silvery circle above his head. And then, with a blood-chilling war cry, he charged the demon-statues. Where a common blade-stroke would have hardly bent the metal of the enchanted figures, the whirling axe struck with such force that the metal parted. Green fire erupted from the cracked shell of the statue, and the figure collapsed into shards of broken metal. The two remaining figures turned towards this unexpected interruption. Son-ak suddenly threw his axe at one, and leapt at the second, tucking into a rolling ball in mid-leap. The axe cracked one statue, and-- amazingly-- Son-ak opened the other with flailing quills. Both spat the same green flame, both crumbled into scraps of metal. The innkeeper stared at the remains of the three figures, and at the now wildly grinning hedgehog, who threw back his head and howled a barbaric cry of defiance and victory. Then he turned his attentions to the barmaid, who had collapsed after she had screamed. "Hah! I'd thought that there wasn't anything to do here! You ought to have told me of such entertainment, innkeeper!" "Entertainment," spat the innkeeper. "You may call it entertainment, Barbarian, but no one here would. We've had enough grief from the Dark Wizard before. Still, my thanks for stopping those golems. I've never seen such bladework before with an axe." "Aye," grinned the hedgehog,"And ye won't soon see it again! I am Son-ak of the Cad-hai, the Swift one, the runner past the wind, the Striker! I run swifter than a thunderclap, strike harder thana the lightning--" "And boast louder than a donkey," came a dry voice from behind. "And boast louder than a donkey! I-- Hey, wait a minute," sputtered Son-ak. He turned about, to face the new speaker. "That's hardly polite, bent-ear." "Spare me a barbarian's etiquette," replied the newcomer. Son-ak frowned, even as he sized up the speaker. Most of the females he'd seen in his travels in the south had been dressed either in simple tunics and dresses (if poor) or in silks and gold (if wealthy, and rather skimpy if they had the looks for it). This one was garbed, instead, in a black leather halter and trunks, with tall boots of the same material and plated gauntlets. The rabbit's ear was bent, at elast one was, but her eyes were those of a warrior, and the large two-handed sword she had cast on her back was not any city maiden's toy. That she could-- and did-- carry such a weapon meant she considered herself a fighter. The thin scar across her left eye (fortunate to have missed the eye itself) meant she was. And that no other scars were visible meant she was a warrior of skill. "Captain Rabbot," blurted the innkeeper. "You should have seen him, he--" "I saw, innkeeper," she interrupted. "You-- I think you'd better come with me." Son-ak tightened his grip on his axe. "If there's some idiot law against aiding innkeepers here against demon-tricks--" The rabbit laughed. "By Mosthe', no, swift one. But anyone who can fight like that-- and with such an unusual technique-- will interest my mistress immensely. Besides, there's a bounty of five royals for each of the dark Wizard's toys wrecked. You've made a pretty penny today, Son-ak, and I merely thought you'd like to >From rhaynie@jaguar.ac.eduThu May 11 14:56:56 1995 Date: Thu, 11 May 1995 00:01:58 GMT From: Robert Haynie Reply to: sonic@sard.mv.net To: sonic@sard.mv.net Subject: other sonics 1.2 sroyals for each of the dark Wizard's toys wrecked. You've made a pretty penny today, Son-ak, and I merely thought you'd like to collect it." "Your mistress. And who is that? For that, who are you?" "I," replied the rabbit, "Am Captain Bunnie, in service to her Highness, the Princess Salar-Alicia of House Acorn, and leader of her Royal Guards. And I already... ah... 'heard' of you, hedgehog. You want your fifteen royals or not?" Son-ak grinned. After weeks of boredom, things were looking up. A good fight, gold to refill his almost empty purse, and he'd met a female of both obvious bravery and courage-- and, not that he allowed himself to notice, beauty as well. Yes, perhaps his fortunes were changing for the better... To the east, a massive form shuddered. A hand clutched a glittering stone, and a quiet snarl escaped thick lips. "Sniv. To me. Now." The shadows produced a short, black swathed figure. "My lord?" "Something in the west has destroyed three of my iron golems in as many moments. And when I am about to begin my true plans, that is an ill matter. Ill indeed...You are my master spy, Sniv the Quiet. Go forth, go and learn what causes me such concern at this time." "As you command, Master." The figure melted back into the shadows. And Roboth-amon, the Dark Wizard of the East, mused on the possibility-- for the first time-- that his designs might be in peril. to be continued... Sorry for the fractured chapter...

I've had enough of this. NO MORE BINARIES. If you have a file you want to share, upload it to hff.rat.org in the incoming directory, and if there is not corrupted, it will be made available for anyone who wants it. Then you can use the mailing list to announce the file is there. Since just saying something never seems to do anything, anyone posting any binary will be REMOVED FROM THE LIST. The only exception would be very very small binaries (a uuencoded ANSI picture of sally comes to mind). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Work: paul@mv.mv.com | Play: rat@rat.org WWW : http://www.mv.com/users/rat | FTP : ftp://rat.org/pub AOL : PaulHurley | CIS : 75014,77 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From owner-sonic@sard.mv.net Wed Jun 28 18:53:53 1995 Received: by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id SAA10083 for sonic-ll; Wed, 28 Jun 1995 18:20:54 -0400 Received: from inetgate.prodigy.com by sard.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-941101) id SAA10068 for ; Wed, 28 Jun 1995 18:20:41 -0400 Received: from mail.prodigy.com (mail.prodigy.com [199.4.137.13]) by inetgate.prodigy.com (8.6.10/8.6.9) with SMTP id PAA138200 for ; Wed, 28 Jun 1995 15:38:40 -0400 Date: Wed, 28 Jun 1995 15:44:07 EDT From: AHVT94B@prodigy.com (MR THADDEUS R BOYD) X-Mailer: PRODIGY Services Company Internet mailer [PIM 3.2-342.56] Message-Id: <013.08084793.AHVT94B@prodigy.com> To: sonic@sard.mv.net Subject: SONDAST.TXT 9/9 Sender: owner-sonic@sard.mv.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: sonic@sard.mv.net [ Section: 9/9 File: sondast.txt Encoder: Wincode v1.4 ] M=V4@;F5E9"!Y;W4@:&5R92PB('-A:60@=&AE(&QE861E7,@:VYO M=W,L(B!3:&4@2PB($AE('-A:60L M(")4:&ES(&ES(&$@;&]T(&QI:V4@4V]N:6,@86YD(%-A;&QY+B(@("`@("`@ M#0HB5VAO/R(@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`-"B)4=V\@1G)E961O;2!&:6=H=&5R2$B(%@@2X@(%=H97)E)W,@4V%L M;'D_(@T*(D]H+"!M86MI;F<@<&QA;G,N(B`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@#0I(6"!F:6YA;&QY(&1E8VED960@=&AA M="!T:&%T(&EF('1H92!3=7!E2!U2!3;VYI8RXI("`@("`@#0H@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`-"CX^ M/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^ M/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/@T*(DES('1H:7,@9V]I;F<@=&\@8F4@86YY=&AI;F<@ M;&EK92!L87-T('1I;64_(B!486EL2P@ M:7-N)W0@=&AA="!3;VYI8RXN+B!T:&4@2&5D9V5H;V<_(B!#86QL960@;VYE M(&]F('1H92`@#0IR;V)O=',L("))9B!T:&%T(&ES(%)O8F]T;FEK)W,@:6X@ M9F]R(&ET+B(@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`-"B)2;V)O=&YI:R=S(&EN(&9O M6]U(&=O:6YG('1O(&1E6]U+B`@4VAE)W,@=&AE#0IO;FQY(&]N92!T M:&%T(&1O97-N)W0@;F5E9"!T;R!F96%R(%)O8F]T;FEK)W,@:VYO=VQE9&=E M(&]F("`-"FAE65L;&5D+B`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@#0H@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`-"B)!;F0@=&AI2!O=&AE65S+"!A9V%I;C\B("`@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`-"B`@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@(`T*/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^ M/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^/CX^#0HB2&5Y+"!D;R!Y;W4@:VYO M=R!H;W<@=&\@9V5T(&]U='1A)R!H97)E/R(@2%@@87-K960@;VYE("`@("`- M"G=O2!B96-A=7-E(`T*:&4@9&ED;B=T('=A;G0@:&ES(&9E M970@9G)I960@8GD@=&AE(&QA2!B;W1S(&9O;&QO=V5D+B`@270@=V%S(&5N;W5G:"`@ M#0IT;R!L970@=&AE(&]T:&5R($9R965D;VT@1FEG:'1E2!B96-A=7,@:&4@ M:&%D(&)U;7!E9"!I;G1O('-O;64@("`-"FQA2!M:6YE(2(@2&4@2X@($AE('-H2!B=7)N(&%N>71H:6YG(&9I&-E<'0@=&AE(&)U:6QD:6YG(&-O;G1A:6YI;F<@=&AE#0ID M871A8F%S92!A;F0@1G)E961O;2!&:6=H=&5R7,@;&%T97(N("!(92!W87,@82!B:70@9&5P; Wed, 28 Jun 1995 18:21:06 -0400 Received: from mail.prodigy.com (mail.prodigy.com [199.4.137.13]) by inetgate.prodigy.com (8.6.10/8.6.9) with SMTP id PAA47511 for ; Wed, 28 Jun 1995 15:36:16 -0400 Date: Wed, 28 Jun 1995 15:40:28 EDT From: AHVT94B@prodigy.com (MR THADDEUS R BOYD) X-Mailer: PRODIGY Services Company Internet mailer [PIM 3.2-342.56] Message-Id: <013.08084677.AHVT94B@prodigy.com> To: sonic@sard.mv.net Subject: SONDAST.TXT 7/9 Sender: owner-sonic@sard.mv.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: sonic@sard.mv.net [ Section: 7/9 File: sondast.txt Encoder: Wincode v1.4 ] M('EO=2!L969T(2(@("`@#0HB22!D;VXG="!K;F]W(&AO=R!T;R!T96QL('EO M=2!T:&ES+B(@2VYU8VML97,@2`-"FEG;F]R:6YG(%@G M6]U('1O(&QE879E+B(@("`@("`@("`@("`@ M("`@(`T*6"!W87,@3\B(&AE(&%S:V5D+B`@("`@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@#0HB25-.)U0@250@3T)624]54S\B($MN M=6-K;&5S(&)E8V%M92!E;G)A9V5D+"`B64]5(&)R;W5G:'0@("`-"G1H96T@ M:&5R92X@(%E/52!T:6-K960@=&AE;2!O9F8N("!93U4@87)E(&1E2!T:&4@=&EM92!+;G5C M:VQE2!F2!W87-N)W0@22!I;B!T:&ES/R(@2%@@87-K960L('%U:71E(&EM<&%T:65N M=&QY+B`@("`@("`@#0HB26X@=VAA=#\B($MA=&4@87-K960N("!(6"!R96%D M('1H92!N;W1E(&EN(&AI6]U(&UA>2!D96QE=&4@=&AI2!L:79I M;F<@8W)E871U'0Z($944"!A='1A8VLL('!H87-E('1W;R$@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@(`T*2&5D9V5H;V<@6"`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@ M("`@#0H-"E!23T1)1UDH4BD@:6YT97)A8W1I=F4@<&5R2!#6]U(&QO=F4@5&AA;FMS9VEV:6YG M/S0@9&%Y('=E96ME;F0N3&]T2!B;W1H(&1I2XB("`@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`-"B)35T%4+6)O M=',A(B!2;V)O=&YI:R!O2!F;W)M960@(`T*='=O(&9I9W5R97,L($A8(&%N9"!+871E+B`@("`@ M("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@("`@#0HB3F]W('=H870_(B!( M6"!A2P@(E=H;R!S:&%L;"`-"G=E(&1E2P@(E1H870@;6ES97)A8FQE(')O9&5N="$B("`@("`@("`@ M("`@#0I3;FEV96QY('!I8VME9"!U<"!A(&UI8W)O<&AO;F4L(")!;&P@4U=!

So, anyway, I won't do that anymore...From here on, I'll u/l it to the place you mentioned. Just one problem: I'm inexperienced with the Net (as I mentioned earlier), and could use some help.

Then, if you don't have it already, write down this WWW address: http://www.primenet.com/~rotor Here you'll find a huge selection of sonic fanfic, not only by me but by other net authors as well, not to mention a small selection of pics. As for the online adventure game, what you might be thinking of is the MUCK know as Furtoonia where people interact in a text based virtual environment, and, yes, there is an area know as The Great Forest and a Robotropolis, there's also a Great Unknown (thanks to yours truely).] I must admit though that the actual adventuring part is very slow at the moment. The player who uses Robotnik is rarly on and the rest of us are finding it hard to really get a huge adventure going. most of the time we simply meet and talk about stuff. On occasion, you WILL find Packbell stirring up trouble but not too often. The Telnet address for the place is red_panda.tbyte.com 9999 Feel free to drop by if you wish.
