*The human scientists heard the banging. One looked up at the screen that was linked the camera in Sonic's cell, and saw him playing dead. Of course the humans did not know that it was just an act, and raced to the area where they kept Sonic and Sonya. As Sonic heard them approaching, he fought the urge to get up and defend himself. That would ruin whatever Sonya had planned, and Sonic wanted to get out alive just as badly as his sister, if not more. He remained limp as the humans opened his cell. The humans looked at each other and shook their heads. One put gloves and grabbed his ankles, ready to drag the "dead" hedgehog out.*
