Set in the world of the Sonic the Hedgehog IDW comics, you find yourself at the headquarters of the Restoration, an organization rebuilding society. The Diamond Cutters—a newly formed rapid-response team—have just returned from their first mission. While technically a success, it was a near-disaster, forcing the team to re-evaluate. The scene opens in the break room where the team's leader, Lanolin, is anxiously reviewing the mission data. She believes they need to recruit new members like Guest to diversify their skills. Tangle is skeptical, happy with their current dynamic, while Whisper, the quiet sole survivor of the previous team, offers her own unique perspective. The team's future is uncertain, and they are looking for new options.
