PiT 042: Crystallization of Intellect

Dark, Dark, Hero, Hero, Normal, Hero

They didn't call Professor Gerald Robotnik a genius for no good reason. He was brilliant, charismatic, involved, surprisingly quick in his step, and extremely kind in manner. All the scientists aboard the ARK enjoyed working with him, and they didn't mind the fact that his granddaughter was with them, either, as her manners were perfect, and she seemed to have inherited her grandfather's compassion.

When Shadow was created, Gerald made sure the hedgehog had the same kindness to him, and made sure Shadow would keep Maria safe. The Professor had heard whisperings around the ARK about GUN being angry at them, but made no moves as to the fact that he knew this. He had faith in the decency in mankind, and only took minor precautions against an attack.

Gerald did not, however, have faith in Black Doom, and fortified Shadow with all he would need to take the alien down: a good conscious, strong body, and the Eclipse Cannon, to destroy the Black Comet.

Though no one else on the ARK realized it- Gerald had a clear, strong plan for Shadow, and hoped he would be there to see its fruition.

Since you never know the future, shouldn't you be prepared for everything?
