Ruby Delusions

Knothole

In Freedom HQ, the FF were lounging around, bored, when Nicole started beeping.

"Incoming call from Mobotropolis," Sally reported, pressing a button.

"Turn to SSTV News right now, kids," Jules' voice came. "There's something on it you need to see."

Sally turned to Sonic, who quickly turned on the news. On screen, a human woman with red hair and green eyes, dressed in an orange jacket and matching skirt over a red blouse, was making a report.

"This is Scarlet Garcia with a shocking report," she began. "For the second time in as many months, the fabled Angel Island is crashing into the ocean."

Amateur footage began playing, showing Angel Island falling out of the sky. Sonic and co. all perked, their attention grabbed.

"It's falling again?" Tails asked. "Something must have happened to the Master Emerald. I just hope Knuckles and Kat are okay."

Sonic was already on his feet. "Get the Tornado ready, Tails. I smell a rotten egg,"

"No," Sally cut in. "We're taking the Special. All of us."

"Sal-" Sonic began to object.

"You listen to me, Sonic," Sally said firmly. "I'm not letting you and Tails head back to that island by yourselves. Not after what happened the last time you were there."

By this point, the rest of the Freedom Fighters had tuned into the conversation.

"Yeah, what exactly happened back there?" Bunnie asked. "Ya never told us, sugar."

"You…" Sally pinched the bridge of her nose. "You never told them?"

"You and I are the only ones who know, Sally," Tails confessed. "I figured we'd wait and let him tell them when he was ready."

"And guess what? I'm not ready," Sonic declared. "We're wasting time, anyway. We need to go."

"Maybe we should hold off on that until you tell us what's been going on," Johnny insisted.

"Why the hell do you care?" Sonic spat, irate.

"I dunno, because we're your friends?" Johnny suggested rhetorically.

"Honestly, you haven't been yourself since the first time," Rotor added. "And we never did go back for the survivors."

Realizing they were backed into a corner, Tails gave in. "Because there was only one. Eggman decided the rest had worn out their usefulness. By the time we got to the island, it was too late."

Everyone looked horrified at that.

"Mon dieu…" Antoine let out. "Sonic…"

"Save your pity, Ant," Sonic snapped. "I don't want or need it."

"That's not even getting into the fact that when they met the sole survivor, she ended up beating Sonic senseless," Sally added, getting a wince from Sonic.

"What?!" Bunnie shrieked. "Why would she do that?!"

"I'm with Bunnie," Shorty added. "Why the hell would she attack Sonic?"

"You went to the island to help her, and that's how she thanks you?!" Porker demanded. "Why?!"

At that, Sonic just snapped.

"BECAUSE I FAILED HER!" he screamed, stunning everyone. "I left her, her family, and hundreds of others behind on that blasted Death Egg! She saw me, called out to me, counted on me… and I left her behind… I left her to die…"

His hand went to his rib automatically as he thought that.

"If I had actually bothered to look when I had the chance, if I hadn't just assumed the slaves I bailed out were the only ones, Kat's family and all those other innocent people would still be alive! Every day, I play that scenario over and over in my head. Try to work out what I could have done differently. But it all boils down to one thing... I didn't bother to look, and I hate myself for it."

He took a shaky breath, just barely controlling himself at this point.

"Kat had every right to do what she did, and I won't let anyone hold it against her. She needed it... and I deserved it.

"Wait…" Rotor interjected, finally finding his voice, "are you saying-?"

Sally nodded. "Sonic let Kat pummel him."

Amy put a hand to her mouth. "Oh, Sonic…

Sonic just rubbed his eyes. "We need to go see what happened. So if you're gonna come, then let's just go."

He headed for the hangar without another word.

"It all makes sense now," Mina realized. "What he said at the dungeon... how he'd get out with all of the prisoners or not get out at all…"

"He's been hurting so much all this time, and none of us knew a thing," Chris said sadly.

"He needs us now more than ever," Keith noted. "We'll go with him. All of us."

"Agreed," said Porker. "Besides, I want to see this sole survivor."

The Special was flying toward Angel Island in no time. While still irate, Sonic looked much better now that he had gotten that off of his chest. Tails sat down next to him.

"You good?" he asked.

Sonic just shrugged. "I'll live."

"I know that wasn't easy," Tails remarked, "but it was for the best. Bottling up your emotions, keeping that to yourself... it's not good for you."

"I do feel a bit better," Sonic admitted. "But I don't like the idea of everyone going to the island. Especially Bunnie and Shorty. If Sticks reacted badly to seeing them the first time, what do you think's gonna happen when Kat does?"

Tails winced at that. "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it."

Angel Island

The Special touched down on the beach. As they all disembarked, they looked around.

"So this is the fabled Angel Island," Porker mused. "It's a lot bigger than I imagined."

"The shrine's this way," Sonic told them. "We'll find Knuckles and Kat there."

As they went into the jungle, Sonic soon stopped short, hearing a twig snap, before the bushes began to rustle.

"Everyone stop," he warned. "Something's up ahead."

He tiptoed to where he heard the rustling, and a figure jumped out with a yell. Sonic met them halfway, and they were soon rolling and wrestling on the ground. A second figure came running out with a scream of their own, making a beeline for Shortfuse and Bunnie. A stone club was brought down on Shortfuse as a kick was delivered to Bunnie's stomach. Sally immediately grabbed the attacker, getting them in a submission hold before pinning them to the ground, allowing the group to get a good look at them. Tails' eyes widened.

"Kat?!" he exclaimed.

Sonic had his attacker pinned by the shoulders, and got a good look himself.

"Knuckles?!" the hedgehog let out.

Knuckles relaxed upon seeing Sonic, Kat ceasing her struggles as well.

"Sonic?" the echidna said. "Of course you're here. Mind letting us up?"

Sonic backed off and let Knuckles get up, Sally releasing Kat as well. The second she was free, Kat scrambled to her feet and over to Knuckles.

"Sorry about that," Sonic told them. "Thought you were someone else."

"Same here," Knuckles admitted.

"Who are all these people?" Kat questioned, her tone somewhat hard.

Tails gestured to the group. "Meet the Knothole Freedom Fighters."

"Let me rephrase that." Kat pointed to Bunnie and Shortfuse. "What is a Badnik and a Robian doing here?"

"They're with us," Sonic explained. "Bunnie was only half-roboticized, and Shorty was able to break free of the programming."

"They shouldn't be here," Kat spat, her tone laced with hatred and contempt.

"Now that's just rude, honey," Bunnie said patiently.

Kat shrugged. "It's true."

"Kat, Sonic trusts them," Knuckles cut in. "Stand down, okay?"

Kat let out a breath, reluctantly composing herself. "Fine."

Knuckles' eyes soon fell on Sally, who was also looking him over.

"Hey…" the Guardian began, "don't I know you from somewhere?"

Sally looked confused, then it clicked.

"Knuckles of the House of Edmund?" she asked. "Son of Locke?"

Knuckles had realized it himself. "Princess Sally Acorn? Well, ain't this a surprise."

Much to everyone's surprise, Sally ran over, hugging him.

"Knuckles!" she exclaimed. "Oh Aurora, it's been years!"

"That it has," Knuckles noted. "Man, you're looking good. A bit less regal than I expected."

Sonic scratched the side of his head. "Okay, now I'm confused."

"Seconded," Kat agreed. "Knux, what's going on?"

"Remember when I said Knuckles' name sounded familiar, Sonic?" Sally asked. "Now I remember why. My father would meet with his on Angel Island when we were little. I always went with him, and Knuckles and I hung out while our dads were discussing things."

"One of the few memories I retain of a time before the Echidna vanished," Knuckles mused. "Last time we saw each other was when I was eight."

"I do hate to interrupt this... surprising reunion," Antoine cut in, "but why exactly is your island no longer airborne?"

"Figured this wasn't a social call," Knuckles noted. "Something's interfering with the Master Emerald. Something... dark."

"Both of us just suddenly felt ill, then everything shook, the emerald's light faltered, and we crashed," Kat added. "We were heading to investigate when we heard your plane. We figured it could have been Robotnik… and here we are now."

"We heard the island fell again on the news," Tails told them. "So we came to see if something had happened to the Master Emerald."

"And now you know," Knuckles said. "I'm guessing you'll want to make sure this isn't some Robotnik scheme."

Sonic just nodded.

"Then follow us," Knuckles declared. "We'll lead the way."

"Do all of them have to come?" Kat questioned, clearly referring to two specific Freedom Fighters when she said that.

"Excuse you?" Shortfuse snapped, annoyed by how Kat was treating him and Bunnie.

Kat crossed her arms and faced him.

"What?"

"I get what Eggman did to you was bad, but your robot hate is getting a little out of hand. Neither of us asked to be like this."

"Shorty, dial it back a bit," Bunnie told him before turning to Kat. "We're victims of Robotnik just like you, Kat. You don't need to be scared of us."

"Machines aren't evil on their own, y'know," Tails added. "They don't attack of their own free will. They only do it because people like Robotnik make them that way."

Kat let out a noise that sounded like a mixture of disbelief and apprehension. Still, she uncrossed her arms.

"Alright, just… give me space."

"We can work with that," Bunnie assured. "Right, Shorty?"

Shortfuse just shrugged. "Yeah, sure, whatever."

With that, Knuckles began leading the Freedom Fighters along. Sonic hung back to talk to Bunnie and Shortfuse.

"Sorry about that," he told them. "Tails and I never really thought of how Kat would react when she saw you."

"I'm used to it by now," Bunnie said simply. "It's clear she's at least trying."

Shortfuse was much less understanding. "We didn't do anything to her, and she's being a-!"

"Shorty, dial down on the hostility," Sonic cut in sternly. "She went through total and absolute hell because of Eggman and his Badniks. It only makes sense she'd be scared of robots. Even you."

"But I'm not a Badnik…" Shortfuse clenched his fists. "I'm not…"

Sally, meanwhile, was talking to Kat and Knuckles as they went along.

"I'm sorry about Shorty," she told them. "He's not happy about being stuck in that armor."

"Can't Sonic just crack it open with a Spin Dash like all the others?" Knuckles asked.

"Sadly, no," Sally replied. "It's made of Megatal, the strongest metal on Mobius."

"He's trapped…" Kat realized. "I thought he was a robot."

"No," Sally shook her head. "He's an organic battery for a new model Robotnik called a Cybernik.

He hasn't been able to eat normal food or feel anything since he got sealed in that armor." She sighed. "Compared to that, even Bunnie feels just having her legs and arm roboticized was a slap on the wrist."

"Oh…" Kat let out. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be," Sally assured her. "I get why you'd be scared of him. I just wanted you to know why he's not as understanding of it as the rest of us."

"I'll… try to be nicer," Kat said.

The group arrived in the jungle, and immediately hid in the bushes when they saw a group of five Egg Robos in the midst of an excavation.

"Robotnik's already here?!" Rotor hissed.

"How are we just now knowing about this?" Knuckles demanded.

"They must have showed up while we were busy with the Freedom Fighters," Kat deduced.

Sonic noted that both of them seemed a bit green around the gills. He himself was feeling somewhat off-kilter. Nonetheless, he prepared for an attack, but Sally placed a hand on his shoulder.

"We don't even know what they're after here," she told him. "Let's wait and see how this plays out."

Sonic rolled his eyes. "I hate waiting."

A massive crane claw eventually descended from an airship above, yanking a piece of rock out of the ground. Encrusted in the rock was a magenta-colored icosahedron-shaped ruby with black markings on it.

"Whoa…" Tails was scanning it with the Miles Electric. "That thing is giving off massive energy readings, but they're all…"

"Wrong," Sonic, Knuckles, and Kat provided in unison.

"Yeah, but how'd you know that?" Tails asked.

"Something about that gem is making me feel sick to my stomach," Knuckles explained.

"It's definitely nothing like any Chaos Emerald I've seen before," Sonic noted.

Knuckles shook his head. "Not a Chaos Emerald. It's something different. Something... evil. It's some kind of... Phantom Ruby."

"Phantom Ruby's what we're calling it, eh?" Sonic shrugged. "Works for me."

"It's dangerous," Kat cut in. "We need to get it away from the Egg Robos before they give it to Robotnik."

That was all Sonic needed to hear. He stepped out of the bushes just as one of the Egg Robos was reaching for the ruby, clearing his throat. One Egg Robo turned, glancing at him casually before doing a double take.

"The hedgehog!" he exclaimed. "He's here!"

"Shoot him!" a second one shouted. "SHOOT HIM!"

All of them started firing, and Sonic started casually darting around, at one point even moonwalking and breakdancing to dodge their shots.

"C'mon, guys!" he taunted. "I'm three feet in front of you! Are you even trying?"

"Fool!" the first Egg Robo shouted. "We are the Hard Boiled Heavies! Dr. Robotnik's elite!"

"Oh yeah?" Sonic asked. "Well, Hard Boiled Heavies, meet the Guardian of the Master Emerald, the Death Egg Sole Survivor, and the Freedom Fighters."

They all came out one by one, Knuckles pounding his fists together.

"Get off my island, you overgrown washing machines!" he ordered.

Everyone had their weapons at the ready, from swords, to guns, to fists.

"No way in hell we're letting you take the Phantom Ruby to Eggman!" Sonic declared.

"Phantom Ruby? That's what you're calling it?" the first Heavy shrugged. "I'll give you some credit. It's catchy."

"We're taking it back to Robotnik, Sonic," a third Heavy swore. "And if we have to kill you and your flunkies to do it... well, that's a bonus."

"Just try it, you walking scrap heaps!" Kat shouted.

The group all swarmed. A brief scuffle occurred, and ended when Knuckles hoisted one of the Heavies over his head and chucked him into the hunk of earth containing the Phantom Ruby. The Heavy slammed back first into the ruby, which began sparking with red electricity that struck all five Heavies, a low whirring hum sounding from it.

"That can't be good," Keith remarked.

As if to prove him right, a wave of energy expanded from the ruby, engulfing all those present and levitating them off the ground.

"Whoa!" Chris exclaimed. "What's going on?!"

"It's that ruby!" Knuckles realized.

Reality itself began to warp and bend around them, before everything went white…

Green Hill Zone

When the effect cleared, the group blinked to find themselves in the Green Hill Zone. On top of that, the Hard Boiled Heavies had received a makeover; one resembled a king with a scepter, one resembled a cop, one resembled a ninja, one resembled a night, and one resembled a magician. Before anyone could do anything, the Heavies fled with the ruby in hand.

"Uh…" Johnny began, "what just happened?"

"If I had to wager a guess, I would say that the Phantom Ruby possesses the ability to warp space and time as it sees fit," Rotor theorized. "Thus, we were transported to Green Hill, and the Heavies were transformed into... those strange forms."

"Chaos Control…" Knuckles realized.

"Pardon me?" Porker asked,

"It's one of the Chaos Powers commonly used by the Guardians before me," Knuckles explained. "It allows the user to warp time and space, either through a direct connection to the Chaos Force, or by using the Chaos Emeralds themselves."

"Does that mean the Phantom Ruby is connected to the Chaos Emeralds?" Chris asked.

"I'd say it's fair to assume," Kat said. "It has its power, and messed up the Master Emerald. Not to mention its nausea inducing properties."

"It must be some kind of evil Chaos Emerald," Knuckles theorized. "Similar powers, but no positive Chaos energy."

"Whatever it is, we need to get it back from Robotnik, pronto." Sonic cut in.

"But how?" Sally asked.

"We track them," Knuckles replied. "Kat and I can sense the aura of the ruby."

"Hmmm…" Tails pondered. "If the ruby does use Chaos energy…"

He held out the Miles Electric, bringing up the Emerald Radar. The images showed the distorted readings of the Phantom Ruby, as well as some more familiar blips.

"The Chaos Emeralds are nearby as well," he noted. "At least one of them."

"Then we have two missions," Sally declared. "Finding the Ruby, and gathering the Emeralds."

"Then we split into teams," Sonic decided. "Knuckles, mind joining me and Tails on our team? We could use your tracking abilities."

"Fine," Knuckles decided. "I do owe you for getting the Master Emerald back."

"What about me?" Kat asked.

Sonic thought it over before turning to Chris and Keith. "You two take Kat."

"Sounds like fun," Chris nodded.

"I'm game," Keith agreed.

Kat looked at them, then at Knuckles. He nodded, and she nodded.

"Okay then," she conceded.

"Rotor, go with Porker and Johnny," Sally piped up. "Mina, stick with Bunnie, Antoine, and Shorty. Amy, you and Sticks are with me."

"Same squads as on Little Planet, eh?" Sonic asked.

Sally shrugged. "If it's not broke, don't fix it."

"Couldn't agree more," Sonic nodded.

Robotropolis

Snively, Grimer, and Robotnik were in the lab, seeing the Heavies' signal had moved.

"How in Aurora's name did they get from Angel Island to Green Hill so quickly?" Snively demanded.

"Chaos Control…" Robotnik realized. "I thought it was just a theory…"

"It seems we were wrong," Grimer noted.

"A single Ruby had the power of seven Chaos Emeralds," Snively mused. "Incredible…"

Robotnik stood up. "All the more reason for us to retrieve it."

"Your orders?" Grimer questioned.

"I'll make contact with the Heavies myself," Robotnik decided. "In the meantime, you two try to pinpoint the Chaos Emeralds."

"With all due respect, sir, if the Phantom Ruby has this much power, then aren't the Emeralds superfluous?" Snively asked.

"Because Sonic will be after them," Robotnik said simply. "He'll want to level the playing field."

"An excellent point," Snively conceded.

"Exactly," said Robotnik. "So we get them before he does, ensuring the fight remains firmly in our favor."

"As you wish, sir," Snively nodded.

With that, Snively and Grimer departed for the flight deck, while Robotnik headed for a different part of the lab, where a new Death Egg Robot model sat…

Green Hill

Just before the group could disperse, Tails pulled up the Miles Electric, getting a new reading on the map.

"What's going on?" Mina asked.

"Sensor's picking up something above," he noted. "Whatever it is, it's big, it's mobile…"

As he spoke, a shadow fell over them.

"And it's headed straight for us!" Chris exclaimed.

"MOVE!" Keith shrieked.

They all scattered as something slammed into the ground. When the dust settled, they took in the sight of the Death Egg Robot, which rose to its full height before them. Kat went pale, shaking violently as she scrambled backward.

"No…" she let out. "No, no, no, not again…"

"That… is a big robot," Keith remarked.

"Robotnik!" Sally shouted.

"Well, well, well," Robotnik's voice came from within. "If it isn't Princess Sally, descending from on high to mingle with the commoners."

"What are you doing here, Egghead?" Sonic demanded.

"The Phantom Ruby," Robotnik replied. "My Heavies found it first. It rightfully belongs to me."

"Not a chance, Robotnik!" Knuckles declared. "You ain't gonna lay one grubby finger on it!"

Robotnik chuckled darkly. "I was hoping you'd say that. I've been under a lot of stress since you engineered the breakout at my Egg Dungeon, Sonic. So killing you and your team of kindergarten cohorts will be quite therapeutic!"

"Please," Sonic scoffed. "You couldn't even touch me before, and you won't be able to now!"

Kat was frozen in fear, quivering. The Death Egg Robot turned to her, one of its arms beginning to spin like a drill before it launched its claw out toward her.

"LOOK OUT!" Shortfuse screamed as he jetted forward along the ground. He tackled Kat out of the way just as the claw pierced the ground where she had been mere seconds earlier. She gasped, looking at Shortfuse.

"You… saved me…" she let out.

Sonic ran over, kneeling before her.

"Kat, c'mon," he urged. "Get up and fight. You can do this!"

Kat was still shaking with fear. In desperation, Sonic grabbed her by the shoulders, forcing her to look at him.

"What are you so afraid of?!" he demanded. "The worst thing that could've happened to you has already happened, and you're still here! The only power Eggman has over you is the power you give him!"

Kat took a few deep breaths, composing herself, as Shortfuse grabbed a massive tree root, ripping it out of the ground.

"Here, kid," he said, handing it to her.

She looked at the root for a good minute, her eyes clearing.

"Thanks," Kat said as she took the root, standing up. "And Shorty? Sorry about earlier."

Shortfuse waved a hand. "Don't worry about it."

"Prepare to meet your end, Sonic!" Robotnik shouted.

"Bring it on, Eggman!" Sonic shot back.

Kat snorted. "Eggman? Oh, I am so remembering that."

"My name is Robotnik, you little brat! It's time you learned a little respect!"

The mech loomed over Sonic, preparing to strike. Thinking quickly, Keith grabbed his backpack, pulling a Power Ring out.

"Sonic!" he yelled. "Heads up!"

He tossed the Ring to Sonic as the Death Egg Robot's claw began to spin again. At the same time it launched its claw out, Sonic tucked into a ball, pulling off a stationary Spin Attack which collided with the claw.

"What was that?" Kat asked.

"Power Ring," Keith explained. "My mom researches them back home."

Sonic's Spin Attack slowly whittled down the claw until they broke off, leaving sparking stumps.

"How dare you?!" Robotnik screamed.

"Have you met me?" Sonic shot back.

A hatch on the Death Egg Robot's back opened up, bombs shooting out from it. Kat stepped forward with her club,

"Batter up!" she shouted before swinging, hitting each bomb back one after another.

As the others kept Robotnik distracted, Amy hurried over to Sonic.

"I just had an idea," she informed him, whispering the idea into Sonic's ear. A grin slowly spread across his face.

"Let's do it," he nodded.

He stood before Amy before beginning to spin in place. Amy summoned the Piko Piko Hammer, readying it like a croquet mallet.

"FORE!" she shouted before slamming the hammer into Sonic, launching him at the mech with enough force to tear right through it.

"And Rob said croquet was a useless game," Amy quipped with a grin.

The Death Egg Robot stumbled back before landing on a weakened portion of the ground. The ground gave out from under the bot, and the bot plummeted down into the chasm, taking Robotnik with it.

"Doubt they'll be putting Humpty Dumpty back together again after that," Bunnie mused.

As Sonic dusted himself off, Sally walked over to him.

"Letting Amy use you for croquet practice?" she demanded. "Are you crazy?"

"Well it worked, didn't it?" Sonic asked rhetorically.

Sally sighed. "Okay, I'll give you that."

"You are one crazy hedgehog," Knuckles mused.

"Thanks," Sonic said.

"That felt good," Kat noted with a smile. "I really needed that."

Tails held up the Miles Electric, looking around before double-checking.

"We're right on top of a Chaos Emerald," he reported. "Literally."

"Allow me." Knuckles slid on the Shovel Claws before getting to work, tunneling down before surfacing with the green Chaos Emerald. Tails was still looking over the Miles Electric.

"And that's not all," the fox looked down the hole where Robotnik fell. "Multiple signals. The Heavies are down there with the Phantom Ruby!"

"Looks like things are about to get interesting," Sonic mused.

Without hesitation, he jumped down the hole, hopping down any rocks and cliffs while leaving the others to climb down the more cautious way. They soon reached the bottom, joining Sonic. He shushed them, the group looking over Robotnik as he emerged from the cockpit of the Death Egg Robot. He gaped at the transformed Heavies, one of whom was bouncing the Phantom Ruby like a soccer ball.

"The Heavies?" Robotnik questioned. "Why have you transformed?" He thought it over. "Must be a side effect of the Chaos Control." He shook his head, "Never mind. Hand over the Phantom Ruby!"

The heavies merely stared at him, not moving a muscle.

"What are you waiting for?! Sonic and his friends are right behind me! Give me the damned ruby!"

"Why should we?" Heavy King questioned.

Robotnik was aghast that one of his creations defied him, but it soon turned to rage. "Because I am your creator!"

"What does that matter?" Heavy Knight pointed out. "With this, we can rewrite reality, and you think we're just going to hand it over?"

"I am your master! I gave you life, and I can take it away! Now, I order you to give me the Phantom Ruby!"

"The changes were not just physical, doctor," Heavy Ninja declared. "We have free will now. So why should we simply hand over such a powerful artifact?"

Robotnik looked beyond pissed, then he stopped, letting out a small chuckle.

"You have a point. Why should you just hand it over when I can simply take it from you?!"

The Death Egg Robot's remaining claw extended, snatching the Phantom Ruby right out of their hands. The minute he grabbed it, more red lightning surged as the whirring sound began, causing Sonic, Kat, and Knuckles all to become instantly sick.

"What is with this ruby?" Sonic wheezed. "Every time it has a power surge, I feel…"

They began to levitate again, their surroundings warping once more. They were soon warped away, leaving Robotnik and the Heavies behind. Scowling, Robotnik pressed a button on his glove, and the Heavies were hit with an electrical charge, sparking before powering down.

"Now to nip their little rebellion in the bud." he spat.

Author's Note:

Kicking into high gear with the Phantom Ruby arc. Not much to say about it, except stay tuned.

Knuckles and Sally knowing each other is another thing taken from Archie; now you know why Sally recognized his name back in the first post-Angel Island chapter.

Please R&R. Until next time!
