Sonic
[Outside, Sonic and Ivo emerge from a ring]
OK, I don't like you, and you don't like me. Let's get this over with quickly.
Ivo
[bumps Sonic aside]
Out of my way, Dork-upine.
Sonic
[sarcastic]
Dork-upine?! Really clever!
Ivo
[Tails, Knuckles, and Stone, still without a shirt, follow them to the base's doors as the Ring closes behind them.] [knocks]
This door is 6-inch-thick solid steel and a pressurized latch. I'll need a moment to calculate the molecular density and invert the venting mechanics.
Knuckles
[simply punches the doors down]
I unlocked it.
Ivo
Subtle as always, Fists-for-Brains.
Professor
[Inside the base, Shadow hears the doors being knocked down.]
Easy, Shadow. Those are the guests I've been expecting. Let's give them a warm welcome.
