Chapter 3: The Creation of Nova
Robotnik was surprised to see his leader inside his lab. "Comrade Brezhnev, I wasn't expecting you."
Doctor Grigory Robotnik, the Second, was the son of Grigory Robotnik, who has said to invent a combination of electric parts and limbs that he called the Robot in 1947. Partly because of the original meaning of its respected verb, and partly because of his name. Like his father, Grigory was interested in the sciences and was made a true genius by the Soviet government. They shared the same characteristics, fairly obese body, bald head, near-sighted, and a massive handlebar mustache. Characteristics that will move on from generation to generation.
"I have a question for you." Brezhnev asked, "Have you ever heard of Anubis?"
"The Egyptian god of the hounds?" Robotnik asked back.
"I sent you some photos the other day." Brezhnev pointed.
"You did,"
"They told the legend of three heroes who slain Anubis and buried him for all eternity. Eternity has come here. This is Anubis' casket."
"What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to make a clone of Anubis to find a whole new world to spread the word of Communism."
"Yes, controlling the power of our golden jewel to go to the other world."
"Exactly."
"I will not fail you, Comrade."
Those were the last words to Brezhnev before he started working on his project. The mushy compounds of the casket had the smell of rotten flesh. All scientists put air filter masks on to prevent smelling the stench. Grigory Robotnik took a sample from the sarcophagus to debacterialize. An assistant took the sample and removed any bacterial impurities of the DNA sample. Now it was time to split the helixes. Robotnik split them by inserting a protein into the DNA code. It was now time for the breeding. After three years, the scientists discovered there was something wrong. The creature wasn't a hound at all. It was a blue female echidna. Her round face with dreads dripping down lower than her chest, her slender body with a white, furry crest covering her breasts, and her bare hands and feet were almost human like, considering the claws on each one of her fingers and toes, all on a four foot, nine inch frame.
Robotnik took a picture of what he had created. He was also puzzled on why it was an echidna instead of a hound. He sent the picture back over to Brezhnev with a letter. Robotnik demanded equipment for the project such as high technology steel shoes, and metal gloves similar to the ancient echidnas' two-spike knuckle design, yet, he wanted to be a glove rather than a mitt. As soon as he stamped it, he went to his newest project, her head stuck with pulsars in order to create memories with Soviet and communist propaganda, with Grigory being his father. Robotnik gave her a name, Nova.
After three months, Nova's equipment has been sent by guarded mail over to the secret lab. Robotnik put the objects into the embalming fluid containing Nova. Robotnik dressed the feet and hands of his creation with his newly gained accessories. They were all inscribed with the Soviet hammer and sickle and the Cyrillic inscribing of "Nova."
"I will like to call a meeting with all workers in this lab." Robotnik spoke into the microphone spreading his voice throughout the lab. All people met in Robotnik's lab, with Nova covered in a curtain. Robotnik made his speech, "Right in this lab is a creature cloned from Egyptian legend. This is not a clone of the species I wanted, but I can assure you, her power will be extraordinary. This experiment will go long ways into the spreading of the communist word. I bring to you, Nova!"
Robotnik uncovered the pod to reveal the blue echidna. Robotnik ordered to inject the stimulants into Nova. A needle came into the pod and injected Nova with stimulants to wake her up. He then drained the embalming liquid. Nova stood up and opened her eyes. The pod opened.
