Straight from Idyllwild, California, Maximus Mighty-Dog Mueller II (also known simply as Mayor Max) is on his way to the tournament! Holding the position of mayor for 7 years, he's no stranger to dealing with heated politics during his campaign. With his cute and fluffy appearance, he's sure to win over dog-lovers from around the world! Also, tagging along him is U.S. California Representative Gil Cisneros to assist him with communications, although he won't directly interfere with the tournament.

Subject: Robo-Crashers (Sonic the Hedgehog, Rock "Mega Man" Light)
Noted by: Arthur Candler

The experiment took an interesting turn today, one we weren't expecting. Upon extended exposure to the White Noise, initially there was seemingly no reaction. However, close to the three minute mark, something interesting happened. As the hedgehog began to seemingly plan with Rock to find a way out of the room, the entity seemed to suddenly spring to life. Within moments they were... consumed entirely. The White Noise just... swallowed them whole. They vanished. For a solid ten minutes, they had simply disappeared. Afterwards, however, was the most interesting part. They returned, seemingly without a scratch.

Very fascinating. Initially we theorized that the White Noise had simply rejected them, but... As we released them from the room for further testing, the robot briefly fell apart into... static, interestingly. Sonic rushed to comfort him, and they briefly started to quite literally meld together. They quickly separated, fearful of it, but now we're more interested in how that happened.

We're not entirely sure what it was, it will require further testing. Our current theory, however, is that the Robo-Crashers are not among us right now. Not dead, as that would likely make them much more difficult to clone like this, but... these are not the Robo-Crashers. This is the White Noise, dressing itself and acting like them. To a tee, as well, even with most memories intact. However, they seem very off as well. Occasional flares of uncharacteristic anger, moments where they will seemingly panic and start to fall apart at the seams, only to come back together at a moment's notice. The clones are unstable. Further testing may yield more results, and we are very enthusiastic to see what those results may be.

Let's just hope we don't run into any catfishes.
