[Locked to Eggman]

Hey, Eggman.

I know you're alive. You're not the only one who's pulled the "I saw him die, it can't be!" plot before.

I need to pick your brain for a moment. The levels of villainy in the world are stuck hovering at "incompetent minion" and "psychopath who makes villains look bad," and it is driving me to new levels of irritation that I wouldn't have thought possible outside of the CD-i.

I know you've seen my schemes. After the broadcast crew dropped the signal for my race, I had to call the whole plan a wash.

And that's just one of them! All of my large-scale operations have gone off without a hitch, but the ones for my personal enjoyment have gone nowhere. I've got a couple more schemes in the works, but given my targets, I don't have high hopes for them. Certainly not enough to alleviate the boredom that comes from having accomplished all of my major goals.

And THEN, the Dragon that I'd expected to turn against me before the year's end went home. AFTER luring my spymaster away from me! It's as though Yggdrasil is out to personally sabotage my enjoyment!

At least you've got your little blue menace. My red one went home before we'd even completed our Digital World rumble... I have no idea what I'm going to do with the completed schemes I had waiting for HIM!

Yes, I do indeed have the hedgehog for now. He has, after all, yet to serve his predictable use.

Again, what you need to find is just ... a suitable target, my friend. Assuredly, there must be one among all these do gooders that would fit that bill, hmm?

One would assume. The trouble is finding that diamond in the rough.

I've had my eye on a couple, but many of them are on reserve to other ne'er-do-wells. I almost felt hesitant about challenging your hedgehog to a race so many years back!

And the other trouble is, the grand rules are different here. So few of them play as they should, and it takes the fun out of it. I have to overplan, and it generally does not prove worth it in the end.

I'm half-tempted to enact three of my Take-Over-The-Continent schemes, but the time is still not right for them...
