Author's Note:
This chapter going into further detail about what Mecha Hope's role is within Cream's Plant. Thus some thing from the previous chapter might be repeated
Also made a poll for the next addition to Cream's Plant after Hope. The current options are:
Matilda the Armadillo (younger sister of Chaotix member Mighty the Armadillo)
Merlina (from Sonic and the Black Knight)
Cosmo the Seedrian (from Sonic X)
A young Regina Ferrum aka the Iron Queen

The Chaos Research on Emerald and Energy for Development Plant(or CREED as it merely known in the reports on Robotnik's secret files) had a massive boost in productive once Mecha Cream had not only activated but 'fixed' Unit 815165 formerly Hope Kintobor. Though she had the knowledge of both chaos emerald and energy that was unmatched amongst robians and even most mobians. However it was limited in that even though she was a robian herself, with genius level intelligence. It only was related to most things to her prime directive, Chaos Emerald, Energy, and the Chao. Once she had fully integrated Mecha Hope in the working of her plant that when what she could not process herself was given over to the roboticized Overlander. Who naturally had genius level intelligence in general and not directed towards a single thing.
This in turn increase the productive and how useful her research and creations she had sent over to their master. Before she just sent things that would give the instruction on what to do but it was like step one press this button and then step five the desire result. Mecha Cream could not explain what happened between the first and the last step cause that was beyond her understanding. She knew how to make the device and what the result should be. To explain the fine details between the starting and ending points were beyond her capability. It was strange but then again there that was Mecha Cream in nutshell really. She was very capable at time but then at others she was completely and utterly clueless. It was only through her own unique central processor and programming that she had not crashed from one the many critical errors that she has suffered since her roboticization.
Within the rabbot's personal room, her dull red irises lit up as she disengaged her sleep mode for she had 'slept' her normal hours. It was time to start the day to carry out her daily duties in her service to her master Robotnik. However there was something different then the her normal monotonous morning routine that former rabbit mobian followed everyday since she had finished set up her former home into the plant that it is now. There standing nearby where she stood was teal Overlander robot stood awaiting for her to move.
"Morning Unit 3185113. I have the nightly report collected and prepare for you" she spoke.
"Morning Unit 815165. Give me the report as we walk to the laboratory" she told her.
This morning greeting was another one of Mecha Cream's quirks as this something that bleed through to her current robian self. Vanilla had raised her with emphasis on the importance of politeness and manners. Of course this served no purpose to robian Unit 3185113 as what did a robot need for manners or politeness. Although she did have all her knowledge of Chao and Chaos Energy though so while she no longer interested in doing anything other then things to related to research or running her plant. Cheese as nothing more the personal accessory unit. When came to those she view as robians that were not faulty. She would give various greeting and say other things like that. Yet it was merely the most basic of things as Mecha Cream could not understand what adding 'good' would do to her greeting as it was no different then other time of day to her. It was not like something special happened to regard time of day as nothing really made them 'good' as that was concept she could not understand. Mecha Hope merely copied her superior after she just kept repeating herself until she gave the proper response. The first successfully roboticized Overlander have unique central processor able to work around problem within her own programming(though not to the extent of Mecha Cream though).
The two then began walking and talking about the information contain in the nightly report that Mecha Hope had gather from when she normally ran the plant while the rabbot beside her 'slept' each night. With the former Kintobor have way more memory as well as available free memory. She did not need to organize it as much as the rabbot did to stay in peak condition. So her own re-charge period was whenever she had reach 25% of her maximum charge at which point she would be sent to have her own memory banks archived and all excess data no longer need removed to keep her in peak condition as well. That was now the only time that Mecha Cheese looked over the plant when both robot girls were unavailable at the same time.
"What are your orders now that you have been given the nightly report" Mecha Hope said.
"No alteration to the normal daily routine is required as all parameters are normal with no significant alterations detected" she told her.
"Affirmative" came the reply as the teal robot girl then went about her normal duties.
Which consist of her going over her superior units work to add in all the details that she normally leaves out not because she is unable to fill them in. Even without her there everything would have worked just fine like it always had. What her job was to make so that again it went from merely 'this start process and this in the end result'. This of course made it that originally most of Mecha Cream's creation and result of her research could not be altered or fixed unless they were given to her directly. Robotnik for all his intellect was unable to do this himself thus was not able use her creation for anything more then just power source and machine that worked behind the scenes. Mostly cause Mecha Cream's existence was still a unknown to anyone other then Robotnik himself. Hope was the other at one point that was aware of the rabbot's existence however Hope the Overlander no longer existed as she was fully erased by her robotic counterpart's own hands.
Mecha Cream went about doing what would have certainly been appalling to her when she was still mobian. During that time probably because she grew up surrounded by Chao as her only friends other then forest animal. She began mistreating Chao in ways that to outsider would have seem cruel and unusually harsh. Just roboticizing them was not enough anymore to as she was interesting in figuring everything out about their non-roboticized form as well. The numbers, formulas, and equations present to her by the roboticized niece of Robotnik lead to new discovers that she would have taken years to discover on her own. In turn Mecha Hope was informed of a number of things when she ran into walls trying to figure out the math and details of Mecha Cream's research and basic details on the robotic Chao.
Sweeping a dissection Chao onto the floor as her walking garbage disposal unit would clean up the unfortunate creature remains. Everything that the former Chao lover wanted had been removed from them and store away to be work on later. Her latest experiment being trying to find out how Chao are born from eggs and some time after becoming adults that phase of their lives ends return to being eggs again. As mobian this was strangely enough a phase that she had never managed to see for herself. How she managed to miss ever seeing this is a mystery that will never been solved now. Thus now as her current existence as Cream the Robian that sense of curiosity that Robotnik installed into her was flaring full strength.
The thing her CPU managed to process from this new development on the Chao was very wide reaching. If she could learn what factors cause the Chao return to eggs after their adulthood ends then she could solve a problem that robian Chao have. Other then Mecha Cheese, robian Chao were just one usage power battery, they last for a quite awhile however once they were completely drained that was it. They were useless and scrapped for their metal which proved to be slightly stronger then normal metals.
Her goal then was clear as she had make so when roboticized this feature was still remain in their robian form and made so that they recharged themselves once drained of all their power. A self re-charging power battery would be ideal however she also had plans to see if that was not possible. Then it merely making so that they can be re-charged period somehow.
Examining the part she had taken from the Chao were stored away for later because there was something else that her programming was taking her it was time to do at the moment. Something that just popped up as things something tend to do with her. Her memory bank space was limited after all so something things like this happened to her.
"Stop now" Mecha Cream said as somehow managing to fly upside down so that she was looking the roboticized Hope in the face.
"As you wish" she replied
Stopping her work and turning around so that they could speak with her being upright. Neither one of them sat at chairs as they worked as they were unnecessary to the two robian girls. They were robot what did they need to sit down for as their legs could not get tired from standing for prolong periods of time. Also the lack of chairs made so that they could move and do something else without having to waste time standing up from a sitting position.
"Plant tour" older roboticized girl told the younger one (in their current state Cream was older then Hope as they no longer measured age as date their mothers gave birth to them but the first time they came online as robian as their 'birth date').
"Affirmative" the teal robot said in respond.
For the next twenty minutes, Mecha Cream took Mecha Hope around the plant telling her what every room was after showing them off to her. While she had been there and even got reports on these place every night this was the first time she had actually seen them for herself. Before she only stuck to mostly three rooms and did not ventured anywhere else. She was not told that she could do that so it never crossed her central processor to just wonder around on her own.
"Chao Garden" the rabbot said however before they could leave she just stopped in her track and the teal mecha girl beside her did the same.
The two stopped moving as some Chao appeared to use the garden as they were completely unaware that this place was dangerous to their lives especially with the two that were standing nearby. So oblivious they even mess around with both them like toys playing with them to their hearts content until they got tired and went to sleep. It was once they were the two robot girls began moving again and these Chao had their last day of freedom with the expectation of one that was left behind.
"Today is not chao capture day" Unit 815165 informed her superior
"These are a good batch. Good for experimenting on and turning into power battery" Unit 3185113 said as she dumped half into the large roboticizer and had other sent to be held until she could experiment on them.
