[Action]
[At first, Eggman was hunting for a power source for robot-making. But now that the temperature is dropping, survival for everyone is fast becoming a high priority, and so he was hoping to make a more reliable generator than Juiced-up-kun, glowing trees, and fireballs generated by deities.]
[By powering it with fish.]
[This is precisely why he is at the beach, trying to catch fish with a lure modified to reduce the damage done to the animals. To his side rests a simple fish tank filled with salt water and nothing else, even though he is technically getting several hits on his line.]
[The downside of his safe lure is that it also makes it easier for the dolphins to enjoy this exciting new snack time game. As a result, he is getting more and more frustrated every time, especially when the fish ALMOST make it to shore... only for a dolphin to wiggle up, grab it, and flop back away into the depths.]
