Hello Puppets starters | Still accepting

Frantic amount of whirring from his lights continuously opening and closing ensues from this statement, Shard even tilts his robotic head trying to even fathom this. Just this.

It was like giving a robot a paradoxical statement (which they were) , except it was processable and ergo more confusing, thus yes Rough he was questioning the rhyming. "Why are you in the first place??"

Didn't matter in the long run Shard supposed, but still odd, back to business however...Right the point of what he was saying in the first place. 'Information rhymes with coordination' So they should form groups to gather intel? Is that what he meant, that's all they can assume otherwise it'd just be nonsense.

Or Rough was offering, help.

Full transparency Shard would rather gather the intel he was assigned to collect on his own, but he knows that wouldn't be exactly approved, he still had a lot of trust to be earned, so he relents. "If you're offering be my guest, just y'know keep a safe distance, don't want to get caught in the blast radius in case." A finger is pointed upward, another just about where a hip would be, as if to emphasize it like a doting parent.

Of course shard isn't as boastful as he was before...And certainly not as sadistic.

During the issue where the fated volcano stuff happens, they are very much fucking with sonic the entire time, not giving him much and even sabotaging him the whole time. Theres a particular kind of evil in it because he's giving him the chance to save tails but actively beats him down when trying to do so.

It's also noteworthy that its said he only has a change in heart because they see proof of sonics words first hand via tails staying with him, one who prefers logic which does oddly fit his ego of being better than sonic, because that two parter also proved with the gem; that was indeed true.

Now in contrast, shards one to stand up for what he believes, sticking up for larry even if it wouldn't make logical sense to rebuke silvers statement. There is a chance larry could hinder their efforts due to his luck, but shard no longer cares about that risk.

Shards sadism was firmly replaced with kindness and consideration, but it also explains why he's so bent up when nicole points out people can see him as better, he didn't just try to kill sonic and friends he actively took joy out of doing it, he tormented them.

They are trying so hard to make up for his past, and maybe that played apart on why he couldn't convince metal aside the fucked up rebooting thing
