A/N: With Kor now officially a Freedom Fighter, time will tell if he adds some level of crazy to the heroes team. Whether or not it'll be a bad thing is another story.

"So you built these different kinds of, sentry guns was it?" "Yep."

"Ok, but, mind if I ask, how come none of us have seen any of them around your house?"

"Well, I kinda left a good number of them back on my home world, some were destroyed, and I didn't want to scare anyone with a turret standing on my lawn." "Valid point."

Kor and Rotor had been talking for about a good hour or so, trading technical achievements and ideas to each other.

Kor already told Bunnie that he lost his hand in a plane crash. His hand had been so charred it had to be removed. Bunnie said he could consider getting an upgrade, such as turning it into a laser cannon. Kor said he would consider it, and his talk with Rotor was helping him form a new project in his mind.

"Hey Rotor, I'm gonna go check out the rest of the HQ. We'll talk more later."

"Alright. I'll be in the lab if you need me." Rotor said before walking off to his destination.

As Kor traversed the HQ, he found the bedrooms and the kitchen. He made his way over to the lab when he heard Rotor and Sally discussing something, along with a voice from someone he hadn't heard before. Curiously, he poked his head through the door and saw them both talking with what he assumes is a Mobian lynx on a large computer screen. Rotor happens to look behind him and notices Kor in the doorway.

"Oh hey Kor, I see you managed to find the lab."

"Yeah, just walking about it all. Um, whatcha discussin'?"

"Going through some burst transmissions we intercepted from one of Eggman's bases. We're not sure if it's something serious." Sally said.

"Didn't think Eggman would be up to his own agenda so soon. But then again it has been a week..." Kor says while scratching his ear.

"Knowing Eggman it could be anything. I'll see if I can try to cut through the clutter to make out a readable message." Says the lynx on the screen.

"So whose the lady you guys are talking to?" Kor asked.

"Oh, forgot we hadn't met each other yet, my name is Nicole. I'm an advanced artificial intelligence."

Kor raised an eyebrow. He's seen tons of different A.I.'s before, but none have had an avatar or showed anything with human-like features. "Advanced A.I. huh? So how advanced are you?"

"Well, I can manipulate most machinery and computer systems as well as hack into almost any database. Eggman's usually don't seem to give me much issues in getting information." The lynx responded.

"Nicole has been a friend of ours for a long time and aided us on multiple occasions. If it weren't for her, some of the missions we had done in the past would have taken longer or not been possible to do." Sally chimed in.

"Ah I see. Welp, given that she's already showing signs of emotion she's got to be the most advanced A.I. I've ever met. My sentry's A.I is just basic." The engineer chuckled slightly.

Nicole smiled. "Why thank you. I take it you're enjoying your time as a new Freedom Fighter?"

"Well, it's only been an hour but yeah." Kor said, fidgetting with his robotic hand.

"So what was your sentry's A.I. like?" Nicole asks.

"Well, they were just programmed to shoot the enemy team using color coding, since both teams wore distinctive clothing, and basic targetting by scanning an area constantly. However at some point I figured out how to edit their targetting protocols, which came in handy when Gray killed my boss and we had to fight his army. Couldn't have them shooting the BLUs at that point." He chuckles at this, then goes into thought. "However, I have a new project in my head I want to start."

The others grow curious. "What kind of project? Is it something dangerous?..." Sally asks with a questionnable look in her eye.

"...Sort of. Look I'm not gonna go rogue on you guys, it's just something I can build and could be useful later on. However, I'm gonna need to work on it in secret so no one will know of it until it's finished." Kor stated.

"Well, I guess we can allow you to do that. You sure you won't need any help on it? We have plenty of resources." Rotor offered.

"Nah, I got it covered, mostly. Plus a large number of materials come from my home world. Also please don't let anyone else know about this. It's very sensitive right now." Kor pleaded. Last thing he wanted was unwanted attention.

"Hmm...alright. Good luck on whatever you're going to make." Says Rotor. Kor then takes his cue to leave the HQ.

After Kor leaves, Sally discusses the matter with the other two. "Nicole? Can you do a favor for me?"

"Sure." The holo-lynx replied.

"Can you keep an eye on Kor, just to make sure he doesn't end up blowing himself up or his invention falls into the wrong hands?" Sally asked.

"I can do that. I just need to find out where he'll make his project." Nicole says, then brings up the first issue. "I finished decrypting some of the transmissions. They just appear to be about fixing damage done to the base and increasing security, probably to keep Sonic out."

"Well that's solved at least." Rotor said before looking at Sally with a questionnable glance. "You don't trust Kor enough to handle things on his own do you?"

"It's not that I don't trust him, it's just that he can be a very dangerous person to deal with at times, especially when he has a large tool at his disposal. I just don't want him to go over his head and end up doing something he'll regret. He's also technically a rookie Freedom Fighter at this point." Sally said in thought.

"True, I just wonder what exactly he wants to build. Given how he talks about his sentries he wouldn't have an issue building one in plain site." Rotor points out.

"True, but we promised him we wouldn't speak of it to anyone. It'd be pretty bad if someone undesirable got word of it." Sally says before walking out of the lab.

A/N: And end of the second chapter. What does Kor plan to make? Will it be something beneficial for all, or will it blow up in his face like a Demoman's sticky bomb? Tune in next chapter to find out. By the way if you want information about Kor's backstory you can check my profile. It will also be fleshed out alittle as this story goes on.
