Right now, on the outskirts of Mobius, laid a building which appeared to be a cheap, budget hotel. Deep in the basement of the hotel, was an empty, unused storage room, which had not been tidied up for months. Despite its run-down and dusty conditions, the storage was perfectly shielded away from the public view, especially with the fact that it was hidden right underneath an unsuspecting building such as the hotel. However, it seems that the room's solitary atmosphere is about the be disrupted.

A few miles away underground, not too far away from the hotel, the ear-blowing sound of drilling can be heard. The unmistakable and familiar voice of Eggman spoke out.

"Faster, you two! We have more work to do! Get this tunnel done and we can move on to our next objective!", Eggman scrowled.

"Hey, its very much dark in here, it looks like its at night! Wait, is it night-time already?", Orbot responded.

"It's still daytime you fool! Can't you see we're underground? At this rate you're going, its going to be night by the time we're done with this!", snapped Eggman.

"Umm, boss, what is this tunnel for? Can't we tske the subway instead? Won't that be brighter and more comfortable?", Cubot questioned curiously.

"Its part of my new plan! I'm gonna make sure that Sonic won't be able to celerbrate his Christmas holiday. This time, I'll have the last laugh! Hahaha!", chuckled Eggman.

"Umm, isn't that the first? No one else have laughed yet." teased Orbot.

"Oh, shut up! Keep moving, failure is not an option!". Eggman is getting slightly irritated with Orbot since it's getting onto his nerves. After his current mission is accomplished, Eggman is considering sending Orbot back to the base to be reprogrammed.

"So.., if failure is not an option, does it mean it is compulsory?", Orbot asked sacarstically.

"It isn't compulsory for me to answer that question, so I won't answer it.", the Doctor argued.

That, followed a period of awkward silence as the two henchmen got back to their work.
