Hello. My name is Miles Prower, but most of you know me as Tails. I come before you today to answer some of the oldest mysteries of our time.
In the aftermath of the Chaos incident, I began to wonder about Chaos' origin. I reasoned that, if he were a god, as the Echidnas claim, how could he be defeated by mere mortals not once, not twice, but five times over, especially when, every time except the first, he was tapping into the power of at least two Chaos Emeralds? Impossible, I told myself, and began looking into Echidnian history for the day they first encountered Chaos. I thought perhaps that would give me some answers.
But nowhere did I find a record of that first meeting, or any mention of it, even in the Echidnas' religious texts. It was then that I began wondering where the Echidnas themselves had come from. It was no secret that Homo animalia came to be as a result of genetic experiments slightly before World War Three, but none of its other subspecies are quite like the Echidnas. No other group had formed their own culture, their own religion, or their own nation. The Echidnas did all three. I wanted to know both how and why.
However, none of the surviving records from the 22nd century mention the Echidnas at all. I begun to think that it would be so much easier if I could just interview those who witnessed it, but of course none survived. That's when it hit me. There was a survivor: Chaos, the alleged God of Destruction.
Knowing the link between Chaos and the Emeralds that bear his name, I decided to use their pull to track him down. Eventually, I found him and persuaded him to tell me all he knew. As it turns out, he knew the whole story…
