System Crashes

A few minutes later, armed with a torch and a strong coil of rope, Sonic returned to the room with the computer and the output device in it. He had already searched what remained of the upper decks of the Wing Fortress, but there had been no sign that anything had been active there for months. The walls were rusted, the girders twisted by the force of the crash, and the floors creaked and clanked ominously as he walked over them. If anything was still working or living in the Wing Fortress, it had to be in the lower section of the fuselage, the part that had buried itself deep in the ground when the skyship had plunged out of the air all that time ago. And so down, down there, into the terrible creaking darkness, was where Sonic had to go.

The power cable was still in place, trailing from the WYSIWYG output device, down through the hole in the floor, to the control desk on the level below. Sonic wondered about disconnecting it, but decided not to, in case Iggy and the others managed to cure the virus and wanted to get out of the machine in a hurry and he wasn't there to help them.

I'll explore for half an hour, then I'll come back and watch the screen, he told himself, before sliding down the cable and landing with a crunch on the pieces of the Grounder that Tails had blown up earlier. The hedgehog flicked on his torch and shone it around the room. He had been right: there were three doors leading out of here, in different directions. What there was no sign of, though, was a staircase.

‘How does fatty Robotnik get up to the room above?’ Sonic wondered to no one in particular. ‘There isn't even a trapdoor, so he couldn't even use his Egg-o-matic to fly up there. There must be another way into the computer room. That Robotnik dude, he's so sneaky it makes my spikes twitch.’ He waved the torch around, trying to decide which of the two doors was the right one to take. They looked identical.

‘Try the scientific-type approach,’ he decided. ‘Eenie meenie minie mose, catch Robotnik by his nose hairs. If he hollers out, who cares? — Okay, I'll try that one,’ he said, pointing to the door on the left, and opened it. It was a broom cupboard. ‘Hot rats,’ Sonic snapped, and turned away.

There was a startling crash of falling broom handles and cascading dustpans. Sonic whirled back as two heavily-built Grounders smashed through the items which had hidden them and ploughed towards him with drills spinning wildly, their tracks skidding across the metal floor.

Sonic thought fast. It would be easy to destroy them with a simple spin attack, but perhaps that was not the best thing to do. The Wing Fortress was huge and he might spend hours wandering around its corridors and rooms before he found anything out. It would be much better to
