[The Great Robotnik]

[Sorry about the delay everyone. I had a nasty experience upgrading my PC.]

"Well, I guess you could say it's the fact that I know what the heck I'm doing that makes me different.", Robotnik states matter of factly.

[Kitty O'Brien]

"And how can we be sure that that's truer for you than for your competition?"

[The Great Robotnik]

[Still ironing out some glitches here and there with me PC.]

"Miss O'Brien, can you say without a shadow of a doubt that you have not reported on their flaws as leaders at one point or another?"

[Kitty O'Brien]

"I have, but that's to be expected. Nobody's perfect, after all, and before you say it I highly doubt that you'd be any exception. I'm sure I'd be reporting on your flaws, too."

[The Great Robotnik]

"Indeed, I am certain you will. And I'm sure you will be reporting me as a tyrant as I do what is necessary to run the entire world. But I can assure you and all your viewers that once they see the bigger picture of what I'm doing they will not see me as the villain any longer. It may be a while before that happens, though. Rest assured,though, as I have the greater good in mind."

[Kitty O'Brien]

"With all due respect, Doctor, how do you intend to convince your audience of that? I imagine that someone with your reputation would have trouble earning the support of the public under any circumstances."

[The Great Robotnik]

"Then, my dear Miss O'Brien, we've already seemed to establish that my reputation will not sway the masses, and any speeches or promises I give are not going to be enough. Perhaps something a little more...", he pauses a moment to pull his glasses down enough to peer at Kitty over the frames, drawing his mouth up in a mischevious smirk, "tangible is in order, hmm?"

[Kitty O'Brien]

Kitty didn't even flinch.

"You've already raided the KBS news station and kidnapped me just so you could set up this interview. What else do you intend to do?"

[The Great Robotnik]

"Why, show the world what I'm able to do, of course." Robotnik stands up and goes to the window, looking out into the underwater view through the glass. "Miss O'Brien, do you remember what happened to the Egg Carrier before?"

[Kitty O'Brien]

"I do. But for the sake of our viewers, how about a refresher?"
