Author's note: The ideas below aren't fully mine. They are inspired by content found in 'Training Tails' by Stainless Steel Fox and 'Miles' Zero Quest' by Archaon. They're very worth checking out, especially if you're a Tails fan. That's all.
Also, take note that chapter 1 of Sonic Concepts 2 starts chronologically after this post, and the next blog post refers to events that occur in Chapter 2. Just a heads-up to avoid spoilers.
Living and Learning
Wow.
Remember my science post some time ago? About how we mobians probably had some sort of emerald power flowing in us? Looks like it could be real after all!
Sonic and I went to the hospital yesterday for the physical examination. When they were looking at the results, they noticed that there was some sort of anomaly inside us, really small but there, something they couldn't recognize or explain, while they were able to do so for every other part. But then I noticed it looked kinda familiar, and I realized it seemed very similar to the IR signature the Chaos Emeralds had!
More interestingly, the anomalies are present throughout the whole body, but are mostly concentrated at parts that our abilities require. For Sonic, it's mostly in his legs and quills, while for me it's in my tails and brain. Huh.
Even better, they had us performing our physical abilities in front of X-rays. For me it was pretty easy, since I just have to hover in one spot, but since Sonic had to move around, they needed to clear up a lot of space for him. What they found was that these signatures actually manifest outside of our bodies while we do what we do.
With Sonic it looked like it actually formed what appeared to be a convex (outward facing) shield in front of him. No wonder he can run that fast without the negative effects of friction. I had something like that too, but it also turned out that my tails, while spinning, are only the core of a much larger and invisible helicopter rotor. I always knew something was up with that.
Too bad Knuckles wasn't here, as it could have been pretty interesting to see how's it's like for him.
I think next up could be a psychological evaluation, but it's not set in stone yet. It's nice to have some lifelong questions answered though. That's all, bye!
