You never know what you find on these big company tours. Turns out John's tour to a well established game company led him to a room that he wasn't expecting to find. A top secret room that seemed out of place in every way possible. Before he could even properly explore the room, he'd take one wrong step onto a target in the center of the room's testing area, only to be blasted by a strange beam of light. Apparently whatever was being worked on in here was quite advanced, as the young man soon found his body and mind morphed and warped into that of one of the company's characters.

The laser altered her identity, making her remember new thoughts, memories and beliefs that sounded rather... nutty to an average on looker. Her body also shrank shorter and took on animal-like features, albeit more cartoonish in proportion. As her body and mind finished being rewritten, Sticks the Badger came to, and snapped out of her dizziness. Even admiring the "new" duds that she had suddenly gained in the process.

What was this laser made for? Was it a secret government experiment being hidden within a simple game company? Was it the company's overkill attempt at a new marketing campaign? Turning their employees into their characters, instead of having to use expensive mascot costumes? Well, this paranoid but clever badger was going to get to the bottom of this corporate conspiracy... after she took care of some "personal business", that is.

Another great commission from  dommerik that I bought. Fun fact, this is actually the first time he's actually drawn a Sonic character. And for a first time, he did spectacularly well!
