you live an endless life forever

[ For Shadow, as far as he'd met, there were two Sonics that he trusted more implicitly than the rest. Implicit trust did not come easily for the black hedgehog, and trusting enough to tell another some of his past, though mild, was more trust than he'd give anyone casually. One Sonic he met while in Johto, who he was able to share some of his

| Warp Rings, yet not quite. That was the purpose of the objects to found in the 'lobby' area. Gamma found himself perplexed, unable to process any real purpose, benevolent or malevolent, behind it all.

And he could still find no answers in these locations through the rings at first glance. Logic dictated that in lieu of individuals with knowledge of the situation that could be contacted, and without Robotnik's centralized database he could access for data, more traditional hubs of information were the most likely source of explanation.

So that was what brought the robot to the library. The . . . occupied library. Occupied by a familiar face. Without the slightest bit of resevation, Gamma walked right up him, standing over the Mobian. |

Shadow the Hedgehog.

[no1canbreakyou]

[Shadow turned his attention to the large robot, staring up at him without any look of being intimidated.]

What do you want?

[This robot... It seemed to be part of the Doctor's E-100 series. Shadow hadn't had much contact with them, as he really didn't have to, but it wasn't unheard of for one of these robots to actually know who he was.]

[wecanhavesouls]

. . .

Do you . . . not recognize me?

[no1canbreakyou]

You are one of the Doctor's E-100 series. [Eyes him.]

[wecanhavesouls]

Yes, and we have met before.

[no1canbreakyou]

I don't remember meeting any one of you in particular... [Checks the number] E-102.

[wecanhavesouls]

My name is Gamma.

| The robot seemed oddly insistent on that point. |

You attempted to prevent my destruction, and arrange for my joining of the G.U.N. organization.

[no1canbreakyou]

... [Eyes widen and he glares furiously.] What?

[wecanhavesouls]

| Somehow, Gamma managed to display an expression of surprise at Shadow's reaction. What was going on? |

At the time we met, you were acting as an agent of G.U.N. Under their orders, you made contact with me and on their behalf, offered repairs to my systems and a position within the organization.

[no1canbreakyou]

If this is your attempt at humor, then it's a poor one. [Shadow places the books down, looking ferocious with anger.] I would never ally myself with those murderers.

[wecanhavesouls]

| Well. Gamma stood silently for a moment, processing this. |

. . . the possibilities that you have changed your opinion or lost your memories both exist. However, the probability of either is . . . not high.

The remaining, most likely, conclusion is that you are a Shadow from a differing Zone.

[no1canbreakyou]

[This Shadow is not ready to put the past that far behind him.]

I suggest you leave before I lose my temper.

[wecanhavesouls]

I have no intent of leaving until I have completed my search for information regarding this Zone. However, as you are not the Shadow I know, I will be happy to no longer interact with you.

| That said, he makes his way towards a distant shelf, though still within the hedgehog's view, and proceeds to start scanning through the titles, completely ignoring the Ultimate Lifeform and his glares and threats. |

[no1canbreakyou]

[Shadow watches him, his gaze still harsh and threatening. What was that robot talking about? Why would Shadow ever join G.U.N or want anyone to join with them? He frowns, heading outside for some air.]

[wecanhavesouls]

| A good enough while after Shadow exits, Gamma does the same, carrying a book labeled 'Evolution of Consciousness'.

Not exactly what he'd claimed to be searching for, but really, the odds of him finding answers for that specific question were pretty low.

If Shadow was still anywhere in sight, Gamma paid him absolutely no mind whatsoever, heading off to wherever. |
