You could, however Neo Metal would still have to work with her. (I know, it's odd having a fancharacter do this, but Ophelia is basically a mad scientist and a tactician. Plus, she's not very pushy as long as their operation goes as planned. Still, Neo Metal wouldn't be too far fetched, as long as they both follow the Doctor's orders.)

I see, well I'll look into that theory. Okay, you can be fancharacters. (Just know the doctor is meant to be the sub-boss in this for the bad guy's side, as in she's the one directing and coordinating Egg Empire forces in the field, basically she's the captain or general of this campaign.) As for why Eggman is letting a non-robot character do this? eh, she has super powers and unlike Infinite she was born with them.That, and she's already a brown noser to him so he really doesn't see her as a problem as long as she does her job.
