Rouge the Bat is in the middle of infiltrating one of Robotnik's bases. She receives a communication from Master Scholar of the Drakon Empire, who grows impatient with Rouge as she spends her time toying with Dunzi instead of furthering the Drakon agenda. Rouge cuts the call short as she makes her way inside the base- wherein she meets her accomplice for the evening, one Norris Wimple! Rouge, it turns out, has been manipulating Norris by feigning an attraction to him to get him to do whatever she desires- namely, putting together a blueprint of Robotnik's lair.
