EggSage

EggSage is the family ship between Eggman and Sage from the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom.

Canon
In Sonic Frontiers, Sage is an advanced AI created by Eggman to take control of the ancient technology of the Starfall Islands.

They are first seen interacting when Eggman is trapped in Cyber Space. Eggman commands Sage to keep tabs on Sonic and to continue finding him a way out of Cyber Space. Later, Eggman asks for updates on getting him out of the digital dimension. Sage replies that out of the millions of simulations she’s run, she still hasn’t found a way to safely get him out. Eggman tells her to make it her number one priority and leaves, and Sage conflictingly says that keeping him safe is her priority.

In one of Sage’s confrontations with Sonic, she says that Father was right in calling him dangerous and destructive. Sonic notices that she’s trying to protect someone and asks her what’s going on. Sage is shocked and tells him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Sage tells Eggman about one of Sonic’s battles. Eggman is amused at her description of Sonic getting defeated. Eggman says he looks forward to her battle reports once they’re home. He elaborates that he’ll integrate her into the EggNet and have her network all the robots, a “refreshing change of pace” from Orbot and Cubot. Sage questions that since they are also Eggman’s creations, if that makes them her brothers. Eggman nonchalantly replies that he supposes so, and Sage happily looks forward to meeting them.

Sage informs Eggman that Sonic has entered and escaped Cyber Space multiple times, which Eggman finds impressive. Sage is confused that Eggman speaks of Sonic with both respect and hate. Eggman says that although he hates the hedgehog, that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a formidable adversary. Sage muses on how they could work together, with Eggman’s genius and Sonic’s skill.

Quotes
"Sage has been crucial here to my survival in Cyber Space. Early warnings of hostile enemies, guiding me past firewalls, keeping me updated on progress in the real world - she's the best. "She?" "It." It's a program. An adorable program. A very personable program. A... hmm. I wonder if... she... has a preference?"
