After everyone was gone Bookshire entered Josh's hut and looked over the equipment found on the table. "This is hopeless, the technology on this table is hundreds of years ahead of ours," Bookshire began, "sure I know some of this stuff but most of it rubs his head in a confused manner, well I can't let Sally down, better get to work." Bookshire looks though all of the notes on the table and in the computer for something about what Josh is doing, and after some digging it pays off. "I got to tell Sally!" Bookshire said as he ran to tell Sally the news.
At Sonic's hut he sat lazily on a chair out side his hut with a plate of chilidogs on the table next to him. "Well," Sonic began; "this is the best assignment Sal has given me in a while, relaxing while I get to munch on some chilidogs." Sonic then noticed a person in the distance, focusing on the being Sonic recognized as Josh. "Hi Sonic, how's it going?" Asked Josh walking up to meet the hedgehog. "Nothing much offering Josh a chili dog want one?" "Sure, one day I will have to make a better one of these," finished Josh while taking a dog. "No way these are my Uncle Chuck's recipe no one can beat it," stated Sonic.
"Ok, ok," began Josh, "Sonic do you know where Sally is, I would like to talk to her." Sonic began to worry if Josh doesn't stay longer Sal and the others would not have enough time, he had to stall. "Don't know, but must be around somewhere seeing Josh finish his chilidog and reach into his pocket what ya got there?" Asked the puzzled hedgehog and his answer was Josh reveling a metal cylinder and handing it to Sonic, who takes the now active item. "That," Josh explained, "is a bio-matter register, that allows me to: scan, analyze, and extract, any matter. I am going to find Sally and show it to her, it is very useful in the field of genetic research. Sonic now hands the cylinder back to Josh She may find it useful in helping find cures for viruses and diseases."
"I am sure she will love it," stated Sonic flatly, and noticing Josh getting up. "Well if you excuse me I must leave . . ." "Don't you want to stay and have another chilidog," interrupted Sonic. "No, no, my experiments await, must leave, see you later Sonic," finished the leaving human. "Not good, Sal will not like this," spoke Sonic as he began to head to Tails' hut, but ran into three people of interest. . . Back with Josh, he holds up the metal cylinder and reads that it has preformed its job and collected some of Sonic's blood. As Josh reached for the door to his hut a voice came from behind that belonged to only one . . .
Back with Sally and Bunnie. The squirrel princess and robo-rabbit knocked on the door of the hut that belonged to a certain two-tailed fox. A pleasant 'Come in' came from inside and the two females entered to see Tails laying on his bed putting down a book. "Hi Aunt Sally and Aunt Bunnie, what can I help you with?" Asked Tails, who was now gripping the cube given to him by Josh in his unseen hand. Sally sat on the edge of Tails' bed and Bunnie pulled up a chair next to the bed, Tails had no escape Sally thought.
"Well Tails, you and Josh have become very good friends over the last couple of days and we would like to know if Josh is doing anything that could endanger Knothole?" Asked Sally while giving Tails an icy cold stare. "No Aunt Sally," began Tails who was clenching the cube to the extent of cutting himself, "why would he do that?" "Well hun," Bunnie started, "Josh picked up a very dangerous chemical from Bookshire, and we want to know why." "Well I don't know why Josh would need such a chemical and what he is going to do with it," Tails stated realizing he must keep Josh's secret.
After about five minutes and getting no where Sally had enough. "Tails at this moment Bunnie gently but firmly takes hold of Tails arms and pins them down, hiding the cube by order of the princess of Mobius, me, I order you to tell me about Project Gene!" Shouted Sally who took hold of Tails' failing feet. "No," yelled Tails, still struggling, "I will not tell you, ACTIVATE!" Shouted Tails and was surrounded in a blue beam and dematerialized only to reappear one hundred feet away from his hut. Seeing Sally and Bunnie see him through one of his hut's windows he flew to find Josh with the to females in hot pursuit.
