Project: ARK
Scientific experimentation can be dangerous to civilians in the case of accidents. A safe area to conduct such dangerous experiments was proposed by Professor Gerald Robotnik. Under the proposed plan, the Ark, a bernal sphere space station, was constructed.

Project: REVIVE
Thousands of years ago, there was a species able to channel chaos energy through their bodies. However, the Hedgehogs were wiped out upon discovery by the Echidnas, though most of the information on this is lost. As they would be greatly helpful in our research, we will be attempting to revive a few of the Hedgehogs from DNA recovered from relics of their civilization.
Status: Success

Project: EMERL
While studying the Mystic Ruins for information on the Hedgehogs, we found an ancient robot that far surpassed most of our technology. Although suspected by most of us to be the cause of the demise of the Hedgehogs, Professor Robotnik decided we should bring it back to the Ark as well for further study.
Status: In Progress

Project: CHAOS
After the success of Project: REVIVE, a series of projects collectively called Project: CHAOS were started in an attempt to genetically alter the Hedgehogs so that they are better able to use chaos energy instead of simply being conduits.
Project: BLAST
To harness the devastating nature of a burst of chaos energy, a Hedgehog was created in an effort to focus and release chaos bolts. Although unable to do this, Ashura reacts positively to chaos energy, keeping his normal personality instead of becoming stoic or reverting to a separate identity.
Status: Failure
Project: STAMINA
In an effort to make more productive workers, we made a Hedgehog who shoud be able to work indefinitely on chaos energy. Nikki does not seem to be able to do this, but can use chaos energy to increase his own control of his body. He becomes excited when exposed to concentrated chaos energy.
Status: Failure
Project: ROSE
After the failures of both Project: BLAST and Project: STAMINA, we attempted to create a female Hedgehog with a combination of their intended abilities. However, she does not apparently have their abilities, intended or not. Rosy seems to have developed a second personality that calls itself Rascal and takes over whenever she comes into contact with chaos energy.
Status: Failure
Although singly the projects were failures, they are considered a success collectively as it showed that we could alter the DNA to create different results. We were simply not aware of how complex the Hedgehogs genomes were.
Status: Success

Project: SHADOW
An effort to create immortals. The first attempt created a pile of goop that responds to electrical stimuli. We are calling it Artificial Chaos in honor of the ancient creature named Chaos. Our second attempt did not seem any better, leaving us with a giant lizard that can barely survive on life support. Continuing research.
Status: In Progress

Project: EMERL continued
We have discontinued work on studying the ancient robot and turned it over to the military to continue work on Project: SHADOW.
Status: Discontinued

Project: SHADOW
We finally accomplished it! We created a stable being like the Hedgehogs. We're not entirely sure how we accomplished it, but we're excited. This should mean a bright future for all of us here.

"Nikki, wake up!" The pink hedgehog exclaimed, shaking the bed's occupant. At two of the other beds in the room, others where attempting to wake up his roommates. "Maria said we had to go."
