To: Public
Subject: A proposition, of sorts
Warnings: Scheming

[Now that Eggman has been here for a few months, he's about ready to make some moves. Specifically, he's been working on a little project. It's taken him some time to acclimate to the magitech of this world, and to gather appropriate resources, but the good doctor is nothing if not industrious.]

Attention fellow riftfarers!

I realize that I have not exactly made the...best impression to most of you. And still, there are others who come from my particular sphere of reality who have warned you that I am not to be trusted.

I readily admit that I have made a great many...missteps in my time. But never let it be said that Dr. Eggman can't shed his shell!

And so, I come to offer my particular brand of expertise. Behold!

[Eggman steps back and procures a small disc. A disc that, with the press of a button, creates a small projection of five, animal-themed automatons.]

These designs might be a bit antiquated but I am offering to construct these automatons for interested parties with custom functionality! They're quite good at reconnaissance and security, but they can also be used as personal assistants and companions! In fact, if you were interested, I could scale them down and make them into fun little toys for yourself or a friend! And I am offering these "Radniks" at a pittance! Whatever you wish to pay, I will gladly accept!

Consider this a peace offering from the great, magnanimous, Dr. Eggman.

And, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask~

[OOC: Step one of Eggman's latest scheme is happening! These bots, while not dangerous now, are part of a long term scheme! If you're interested in getting involved, please feel free to let me know! You can reach out to me on the CR meme where I have some more details or message me on Discord of plurk at bitterbearface]

Then you're in luck! In fact, cleaning and organizing are what I programmed most of my personal assistants to do back where I come from! I can easily accommodate such a simple request!

[telepathicignorance]

Alright then.

(Victory.)

[reneggadetinkerer]

So you'd like a flight based model capable of cleaning and organizing? Well, I could repurpose my Orbinaut with dusters instead of spiked and exploding balls...though without movable appendages, organizing might be a bit of a problem.

Unless I replace two of the spiked balls with dusters and the other two with hands that can move within its orbit.

Orbinaut does have a decent range...

Yes, I believe I can make this work quite easily! The design I propose would look like this but without the needlessly pointy bits.

[telepathicignorance]

Huh. I like it.

So you usually design weapons?

[reneggadetinkerer]

Oh I dabble

[Read: I design pretty much exclusively weapons.]

[telepathicignorance]

Any specialties? Lasers, kinetic, nano weapons, disintegration rays, something else?

(Always good to know the capabilities of potential enemies... and they lick picking scientist brains, so long as they don't attract too much of the scientist's curiosity in turn.)

[reneggadetinkerer]

Imagination.

My limitations are only that of my own imagination. I've broken the barriers between dimensions on a whim.

But if you have a request, then try and challenge me.

[telepathicignorance]

Think you could find a way to stop people from being randomly sent home without memories?

(Since he mentioned other dimensions and all. Yeah, he's a crazy mad scientist villain but that doesn't mean he can't be useful.

He will probably just weaponize it by threatening to send people home who don't want to be, but at least then they'd know it could be done and potentially have research and blueprints to steal.)
