The plane shakes as it cuts through the rough winds. But Tails is a good pilot and he keeps it quite steady.
"Sparky! How far is the base?!" I hope he heard me. He turns his head towards me and says
"Not far!" He looks ahead again and started talking to Tails. I can't hear them because of the rough wind. The plane tilts downwards and I slip forward a bit. I try to see through the snow and I can make out the outline of a base. The plane lands on the snow next to the base.
"Is this it?" Sparky jumps off and walks over.
"Yes, this is it. Come. We must get inside quickly." As if I don't know that! It's freezing! Tails jumps down and follows Sparky who is walking towards a wall. There's something on the wall. It looks like a sign. It's written in... Blood?! Whose blood?
"Who wrote this?" Sparky looked at the sign. It read; Turn back, who wrote this?
"I did... It was in my escape... Come on over here!" I walk over to him, he's pulling a grating off. I kneel down and help him remove the cover.
CRASH!
The grating clatters to the ground. Tails and Sparky go in, and then I follow. The vent leads to a room full of rusty machinery. Ow! A shard of metal cuts my arm and a little bit of blood comes out. Tails is in front of me looking around. I look at the area. No way out?! Is this a trap?!
"Alright, where do we go from here?" Sparky points upward and we both followed the finger. There is a hole in the ceiling and it looks about big enough to fit me through.
"Tails. Lets fly!" Tails nods and dashes over. He grabs me by the arm and lifts me up. I look down and see Sparky just below us. Then we're out. A few robots are in a smouldering heap in the corner and a bed is in the middle. There are straps on the bed and they're broken. I look around and spot a console.
"Tails, see what you can find out!"
"Right!" Tails dashes over to the console and starts typing. I walk over and peer at the writing.
MONDAY: 12:52
SPARKY HAS COME BACK FROM THE LATEST MISSION AND HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE WAS HERE.
MONDAY: 13:12
SPARKY HAS ATTACKED US BUT HE WAS TAKEN DOWN. WE HAVE PUT HIM ON THE RESEARCH BED AND ARE AWAITING INSTRUCTIONS.
That was the last entry. Tails looks over at Sparky, but returns his gaze to the screen.
"Tails, go back as far as you can." He presses a few buttons and gasps. I try to have a look at what he can see but his head is in the way.
"Tails what is it?" He moves his head and points to one of the entries. It was 16 years before the last one.
SUNDAY: 22:43

Tails skips to the time Metal was around.
SATURDAY: 09:23
SOLDIER SPARKY HAS BEEN GIVEN HIS LATEST MISSION. HELP HYPER METAL SONIC DESTROY THE CITIES. HE WILL LEAVE IN 00:05.
I look over at Sparky and wonder if we are safe with him.
"That chip..." He cuts me off.
"I... know." He's almost in tears.
"I didn't have an... any..." He starts to cry and Tails tries to comfort him. I go over and look at Sparky.
"What's a mind chip do?" He looks up and stops crying. His eyes are full of tears and his voice is very quiet.
"It controls my mind..."
"Sparky! How far is the base?!" I hope he heard me. He turns his head towards me and says
