The jungle's night sky was deep and thick, and darkness set across the area with a pressuring feel. Huge walls of rock, creating an ancient and ruined labyrinth rose among the ancient trees and vines, and an eerie silence settled over the scene, even the bats and crickets quiet in their song.
The only sound that existed at the moment was the slow rustling of grass, and shortly there after a sudden roar of a motor.
-FZZTZTZZTZTZ- Blades of grass were torn from the ground as a hovering board flew through the maze, a young spectacled echidna steering it cleverly past a few scouting robots, who uncharacteristically waved and gestured in a direction for him to follow.
"Thank-you!" The echidna waved back, turning around briefly at the last robot who did this as he continued to scoot through the maze. So far so good... He'd upped the camera range after passing them, so that nothing else would get in, and the guards were more than happy to help him find his way around...
Only a truely great man could create such kind and good working robots! And he was on his way to meet him!

Soon another sound became apparent, a low sound like that of wind. It would be hard to hear over the whirring of the machine's hovering blades, but it soon grew louder. There was a flash of blue and it was soon under the board. Once under it ran at exactly the same speed. A blue hedgehog, not the famous Sonic the Hedgehog however, was right on the Echidna's trail. This hedgehog was female with long quills, she wore a black jumsuit and her eyes glowed an odd yellow. Prototype had been alerted by the doctor of an intrudor, one the normal sentries would not be able to handle. She went immedietly, not caring that normally at this time she would be sleeping. She always obeyed the Doctor's orders.

The blades weren't spinning as fast. An extreme gear's speed capacity was affected by what was beneath it, and the board was slowing down, just slightly. But it was enough to tell him that there was more than grass there.
"Eh?" The board still moving as though someone was steering it, he knelt down and looked beneath the board from the front, before crying with surprise. "W-Wah!!" Without a warning, the board stopped, sending the echidna flying into the wall with a small crash, said boy grabbing his head as he took in the dark sights of the world from his upsidedown position. "Ow ow ow ow ow... Huh?" Who was.. That?

Prototype stopped, then slowly approached the fallen echidna. She did a quick analyasis of his condition, considering he was simply exclaiming in mild pain and not screaming or unconscious, the damage must be minimal. She crossed her arms and looked him over, memorizing his appearance like a computer. Finally she spoke. "Identify yourself."

The echidna blinked, rolling over to his front and shakilly standing up as he took in the hedgehog in front of him. "A-Ahh... I'm Ivan... Who are you?"

"I am classified as Prototype." Her eyes always followed his, though it was hard to tell with her lack of pupils. "You are intruding upon the Doctor's property."

"Eh... Really?" Ivan blinked with confusion, rubbing the back of his head with a grin. "But the robots were all giving me the go-ahead!" He laughed nervously, before gaining an oddly serious look. "Although... He does need better cameras... I had to fix about 5 of them on the way here, since they didn't really see me... I don't think anyone would want malfunctioning equipment!!"

She blinked. "There must be hard-drive malfunctions... Security is not to let anyone in but the Doctor and other Servants."

Ivan frowned slightly. "Really... Weird... Still, you should really check your other cameras! Their field wasn't that big, they didn't look my way until I was 2 feet from them! A good camera should have a range of 10 feet here." He nodded, his eyes shut as though agreeing with himself.

Prototype grabbed his wrist and started to pull him the way he had come. "You are intruding upon the doctor's domain, I am to escort you off."

"W-What!? No way, I wanted to meet the Doctor!!" Ivan began fruitlessly tugging back, when a few whirring noises became apparent.
Said whirring noises seemed to be coming from the five E-series robots who had abandoned their post. Their guns were aimed directly at... Prototype? "RELEASE THE ECHIDNA." Well that was rather 'deus ex'...

Prototype looked back at the robots and stopped. She did not release the Echidna however. "The doctors orders are to escourt the intrudor off the premesis by any means. You are going against his orders by stopping me. You are malfunctioning to do so, cease and desist at once."

"ERROR: RUNNING SYSTEM CHECK. . . . NO MALFUNCTIONS DETECTED. RELEASE THE ECHIDNA."
Ivan looked nervously between the robots and Prototype, before opening his mouth to speak. "Eh.. W-What does 'any means' include? I just wanted to meet with him, that sounds a little..." Extreme? Maybe? M-05 did say something about the doctor being a bit odd in certain aspects... Though it also said that it hadn't seen the doctor since ir met Ivan, so really... Looking at the robots, he briefly wondered if their guns would actually have any effect on Prototype- Her grip was rather strong...

Prototype let go of Ivan and turned towards the robots, her eyes flashed brightly. "Stand down and return to your duties, I will escourt the echidna off the premesis and you will not interfeer. This is a command, if you disobey I will be forced to destroy you."

Ivan paled, grabbing Prototype's arm with his other hand. "W-Wait, you don't have to do that!!"
"CHARGING WEAPONS."
"Gaah! No, really, you guys don't either!!"
The robots seemed to pause with confusion (Which was rather difficult being emotionless), before the larger of them spoke. "ECHIDNA 'IVAN' IS CLEARLY IN DANGER. YET ECHIDNA REFUSES AID. SEARCHING FOR REASONS... ECHIDNA IS CLEARLY SUFFERING FROM STOCKHOLME SYNDROME, AND DOES NOT REALIZE DANGER. WEAPONS WILL CONTINUE TO CHARGE."
"G-Guys!!" An argument between robots and a mobian. How interesting.
