Did Eggman know Tails was gonna kill him when he did, I'm sure he was somewhat aware of Tails planning to or at least considering it maybe, but did he know when was tails planning to?

What were his thoughts on that last phone call between them? Every time I reread that part I always imagined him grinning when Tails quoted his words from the first day they met, it was such a good scene!!

Anyways big fan of yours! Have a great day.

To answer the first question, he knew that Tails trying to kill him would happen eventually, but he was mostly convinced that he could get what he wanted before that happened. Tails theorizes in the last chapter that Eggman had put him into a high pressure environment where murder for revenge/freedom was likely, but tried to stave that off as long as possible by giving Tails plenty of concessions and even letting him completely change the nature of the empire to be more palatable to him. This is mostly true! Eggman was trying to sell Tails on the empire because he wanted him to stick around. However, his plan was to release Tails as soon as the solution to the energy crisis was found. His fatal mistake, really, was choosing not to reveal this to him because he worried that a promise of eventual freedom would nullify the pressure he was putting on him.

Eggman did not know that Tails was planning to kill him when he got to the ARK. He'd come to a similar conclusion as Tails, where he believed the fox would only try to escape when he had the solution to the crisis so he could use it as leverage in negotiations with humans. With that in mind, he may have actually been pretty happy when Tails announced his intention to kill him! His only goal had been to save science. If Tails was openly planning to kill him, then it meant that he'd solved the crisis. His extremely risky and long-term plan of moulding a kid into someone capable of taking over the planet and saving science had worked! I can imagine that he would smile about it, even if he knew he was about to die.

Some fun background notes on how I characterized him behind the scenes:

If Tails had continued resisting in chapter one, Eggman would have let him go.

A lot of what Eggman does in chapters 1-3 is designed to test and nurture Tails' confidence. Tails comments on this in chapter eight, when he realizes that Eggman had been protecting him from developing an inferiority complex in relation to humans. (I'm diving into this a lot more in the sequel, where Eggman realizes that insecurity is what's holding back Starline from achieving his academic dreams. Most of Starline's chapters are flashbacks where they develop the Alhazen plan together).

Eggman generally does not like humans at all. I never really had him express this, but he was very bitter being born and raised on a planet where science didn't work because humans had been forced to flee their home world. This disdain was also solidified when he was frequently abused by the government as a child. I had originally given what they'd done to him a lot more detail, but I was forced to remove it and leave really vague implications instead because it was bordering on child sexual abuse territory and that was NOT a warning tag I was willing to put on a fanfic where a child was at the complete mercy of an adult for most of the story. I worried it would cast a dark shadow over his relationship with Tails, even when Tails wasn't the victim in question, so I took it out completely.

For the most part, Eggman pitied Mobians for evolving on a planet with messed up physics and as a result held a more neutral to favourable view of them. (I'm actually not a very big fan of works that portray Eggman as being some variety of human supremacist. I think he's more fun as a chaotic neutral type, or something more in line w/ his canon personality where he thinks he's superior to everyone regardless of their species haha).

I've said this a few times before, but he did genuinely respect Tails! He was really hoping Tails would come around and want to be in his empire, but unfortunately that did not happen. I think he may have been able to succeed if he'd caught Tails a little earlier, before Sonic had laid a strong moral foundation for him. That stupid hedgehog is always ruining his plans :(

Thanks for the question!!

Mm, I hope I'm not late here's what my thoughts are.

A- assuming I had a clear mind in such a situation, I would take the other person's weapon and leave it far away from them so they can't reach it, and try to figure something out, by either finding a hole in the puzzle or try dismantling whatever mechanism in the door, after reading what u said I'm assuming the door won't open unless someone stays to push a button or press a wight or activate a certain mechanism, that or there is someone who's watching us and won't open the door till they are sure only one of us would go out

In the first case, there's no use of trying to figure something out to get us both out, so I'd probably just leave, if I could tho, I would give them their blade back, sliding it under the door after I leave or something. Hopefully their smarter than me and would figure something out.

B- depends on couple of things, first how much i believe we were actually given the same memo, assuming it was given to them in their language which I don't understand the only way I'd know they were told the same thing is if the captor told me so with the memo, so that depends on how much I think I believe our captor at that moment,

Secondly, how much of a threat I think the other person would be if they by any chance didn't get the memo or didn't want to cooperate with me, and how stable do they look mentally at the moment,

If they panic and start acting up I'd pick my weapon and fight and I'm praying we're at least the same size which I doubt we are,

If I think they're willing to cooperate I'd get their attention, raise my arms in peace, and point at them questioningly, ONLY if they do the same I'd walk to a corner of the room and discard my weapon there then point to them to do the same, pointing at the other corner of the room.

( I wouldn't rather leaving it in the middle of the room or something like that cuz they could just pretend they're gonna put theirs and take mine too, so I'd leave it in a corner of the room and stay in the opposite one asking them to do the same on the other side, if they refuse I can get to my weapon before they reach me or it )

Atguuii this is hard I'd feel so bad especially if they were a small mobian

Anyways I love your fic so much and I can't wait for the next one<3

sorry but you MUST stab the short animal person

thanks for answering!! i appreciate it a lot <333
