Reuqest-MT Story-Ch. 5

"He's...so...heavy!"
"Oh, shut up, Zeta!  He's not that bad!"
The sack Tails was in was being carried by the humanoid robot E-105 Zeta.  After the whole Sonic Adventure episode, Meka, Eggman's loyal (if not sarcastic) assistant, had slaved over the hot flamethrower fixing all the E-100 robots for months.  She had redesigned them a little bit, but the biggest improvement was Zeta.  It went from a male-programmed, rocket-firing-multiple-purpose-cannon to a jail-droid.  Meka even programmed it on a more feminine control level.
"Ugh...I guess...why isn't he moving anymore?" Zeta asked in a light-pitch, robotic tone.
"He must have passed out."  Meka poked it a little bit.  "Whatever the reason, he has Cell Number 6, okay?"
"With the psychotic dog, prisoner 814??"
"No, no...Cell 5.  The data must have been programmed incorrectly or something..." Meka muttered, and open the door with a card key.
A long row of dirty cells were in the room.  A couple were occupied, and their occupants were alternatively filthy or, well, empty-looking.
"ll right, this cell; oh, gross, rats!" Meka squealed, and a few large black rats with slimy pink tails slithered into a small crack in the floor.  One didn't leave, but stared at Meka with large pale eyes.  Zeta aimed her cannon arm.
"Target locked."  A little red beam appeared on its forehead.
"No, don't shoot it!" Meka yelled, smacking Zeta's launcher downward.  "The last time you did that, I couldn't get the rat guts off the wall!"
Zeta clicked and beeped, and set the sack down.
"Mission cleared.  Returning to loading station."
And with that, she left.
Meka sighed, and untied the sack.  Sure enough, Tails was sleeping, a little drool seeping from his mouth.  Placing him gently into the cell, she shut it, and went back to the repair room.
"Ow!  Who knew he would put up such a fight?"  Coconuts rubbed his dislocated arm.
"He's nothing like the little kid from before..." Scratch grumbled.
"I liked it better when we were only here..." Grounder sighed.
"Stop whining."  Meka entered, a oilcloth and a wrench in hand.  "Okay, who's worse?"
Coconuts raised his dismembered arm.  "Come here, monkey boy."
==========================================================
In a back room, the actual repair shop...
==========================================================
"So...how's Dr. Robotnik working on the new machine?" Coconuts asked as Meka put on a welding mask.
She took a little while to respond.  "It's almost complete.  We just need a few test subjects...preferably the same species."
"So...you've only captured dogs, cats, and woodland animals related to them.  Why is Tails here?"
"He's a fox," Meka said, and began welding Coconuts arm back to its body.  "Apparently, foxes and wolves are blood ancestors of modern day dogs.  You know, God's way of saying that animals can be our friends.  Why Eggman wants them, I don't know, but I'm afraid of what's gonna happen to the test subjects..."
"I wouldn't be too nervous," Coconuts winced as his arm was reattached.  "Nothing the Doctor's done is irreversible...thank goodness..."
Meka removed the welding mask, finished with the metalworking.  "All done.  Send in Scratch."
"Perfect."
"Then Grounder..."
"Perfect as well..."
"I guess I'm done, then..."
"MEKA!" Eggman's voice crackled over the intercom.  "Report to the cargo hold!"
==========================================================
At the cargo hold...
==========================================================
"Meka!  Thank goodness!  You're here!" Eggman yelled.  "I need help with the controls...half the buttons aren't working properly..."
Meka and Eggman went to the control panel.  It was half-complete, with wires poking out of it.  Meka examined the inside.
"Well, one problem is that you used an old arcade engine for the, well, engine," Meka stood up, stretching.
"I had to improvise," Eggman grumbled.
"True, true...hey!  This is Pac-Man!  I expect a new one for Christmas," Meka exclaimed angrily.  "Oh, well...all right...this goes here...and here...and, hold this."  She handed him a loose green wire.
"Meka, what are you doing? GRAH!"
A surge of blue electricity jolted up the green wire, and electrocuted the doctor.
"Why did you do that?!"
Meka shrugged, smiling.  "On the plus side, though, it's finally complete."
"Sir!  Sir!"  A half-destroyed robot ran into the room, sparks flying from it's destroyed eye socket.  "The outer perimeter's been breached!"
"What?  By who?"
