"ROUGE."
Rouge's ear flicked at the sound of her name, but something about it was off.
"Come again?"
"ROUGE." There it was, the odd pronunciation or inflection to her name that she honestly didn't know Omega could produce. Rouge looked at her large metal best buddy chum amigo in confusion until he kept speaking. "JE NE PEUX NON PLUS PARLER EN ANGLAIS ET JE NE SAIS PAS POURQUOI."
Rouge blinked. "Uh... Might want to change your language settings there, sweetie."
"IMPOSSIBLE. JE L'AI DÉJÀ ESSAYÉ."
...Well, she understood the first word at least.
"Okay so... You're stuck on another language and can't change back?" she guessed, getting herself a thumbs up from Omega. "Alright then. Is there any kind of terminal I can use to look through your-"
Omega interrupted her by pointing an arm cannon at her. "NON."
Rouge raised her hands. "Hey now, calm down! But you know what, that's fair. I don't think I would trust you with... I guess my own brain surgery either."
Omega put away his cannon and beeped in agreement to the comparison.
"Okay then... Can you redownload the English language?"
"NON."
"Can you delete whichever language this is and see if it defaults back?"
Omega's occulars dimmed for a good fifteen seconds before brightening again. "TESTEN... EXPERIMENT SHEITERTE. ICH SPRACHE NOCH EINMAL EINE ANDERE SPRACHE."
"...Whoops, I think I understand you even less now."
"EINDEUTIG."
A loud groan echoed through the cavern as Shadow crushed his empty energy drink can in one hand and massaged his forehead with the other. "Just switch him off and on again!"
Rouge and Omega glanced at each other before Omega's occulars dimmed again until the lights turned completely off.
The cave was silent for a few eerie seconds until Omega's startup jingle echoed through the space and the sound of his engine and cooling fans roared to life. The light returned to his occulars as a few beeps sounded, and finally Omega moved, finalizing his reboot.
"TESTING... EXPERIMENT SUCCESS. I AM NOW COMPREHENSIBLE."
"And that goodness for that," Rouge mumbled. "I was sure I was never going to understand you again... But hey, at least we have our resident tech whiz here to help out with any malfunctions!"
Shadow chucked the empty can at them both. "You're so annoying," he grumbled, while Omega reached out and caught the projectile.
"REFLEXES CONTINUE TO FUNCTION AT OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE." Omega whirred in satisfaction while Rouge giggled, and Shadow turned away from them again, clenching his teeth.
"I should have kicked you out the day you walked in here..."
My German is very rusty es tut mir leid.
