Can you see all of me? Walk into my mystery Step inside and hold on for dear life

It's too late for us now I'm already dragging him into the Shadowtale to make him learn about empathy and friendship and that you can't SAVE them all but that means that you still have to try

There conversations would be over before Amy even knew what they were doing. Sage would appear, her and Metal would stare at each other for a few seconds at most, and it be over.

Well I def imagined Sage and Metal to just quietly stare at each other an awkward amount of time before Amy would interrupt.

But thinking about it your way that it only goes like one or two seconds before she says anything would make it even funnier tbh like she is literally just:

Batter up.

P.S. Don’t touch the screwdriver.

Uhhm... Oops?

And for the sake of argument, let’s assume the EMPs would effect chaos drives (Or whatever Eggman’s robots run on) the same way they effect regular electronics.

I think non-nuclear EMPs would be much more viable since they could wipe out Eggman's forces pretty effectively.

There are a few considerations for the Mobian/islander leadership:

Are the EMPs well-hidden? Before an attack, could Eggman find the locations of the EMPs using satellites, hacking, or espionage? Is it possible for him to target the EMPs before attacking, thus neutralizing them? (This issue is why countries have nuclear submarines--they're much harder to target and can be used for second strikes).

Strategically speaking, possessing weapons capable of destroying his forces all in one go might lead to a bit of instability. If Mobians strike first, Eggman will have no way to retaliate. This will make striking first much more attractive to him, increasing the likelihood of him launching surprise attacks to get the upper-hand. This problem is why the US and USSR agreed to limit their ballistic missile defenses--if you deny your enemy the ability to perform a retaliatory strike, they are incentivized to strike first. It's safer to not protect yourself in some cases.

If the war is at home, what impact will EMPs have on the islands' ability to function? Is it worth it?
