Copy X is probably too awful to even count as a person, so hold onto that thought, Knuckles. That sounds like a viable backup.

But just in case, here was a sixth person now, taking the most direct route and just straight-up flying up to the clock tower's peak -- the angelic wings decorating his combat armor might have mostly been for decoration, but the designers had at least been kind enough to build him with flight capability. He looked sort of surprised that so many people'd apparently all had the same idea, but... well, that probably made sense, didn't it? If robots were a problem, then aiming for the source of the issue was the obvious solution.

"Oh... am I interrupting something?"
