Prologue (for a Tails-Bot story)
How did we get here in the first place? Well. It all started with a scientist who made special kinds of hypnosis sessions for mobians suffering from any kind of anxiety or just want to experience it. These kind of sessions can turn them into robots...somehow. Though the effect is temporary sinve the scientist doesn't actually want to enslave them. He called it "droning" Some kept coming back for more. Amy Rose was one of them. She got droned so many times, she's practically convinced that she's a tobot by default. Thieves suvh as Rouge tried to get their hands on such techniques. Only for them to get droned temporarily before being released with no memory of what happened. But all hell broke loose when Eggman got his hands on this technique. Using it to create his Egg-drones. These drones have no will, no personality, no thoughts, just to obey their egg emporer. Ever sinve, the scientist had gone missing and never came back.
