To be absolutely fair, the Master Emerald appears to ship it. Thing is, Knuckles is a dumbass who will remain butthurt about MUH EMAROLD until his dying breathe, and even da emarold itself can't convince him to get a life and go date the bat.

You might be cooking, actually. In the anniversary story, the M.E does give Knuckles visions to tell him that his life has meaning. Although in context it looks more like even the Master Emerald is telling this nigga to get a life.
>~Knuckles~... ~bring Rouge here~... ~I like when she rubs her voluptuous body on me~... ~make love to her on top of me~... ~restore the echidna race~!
But anyway, him getting missions from da emarold would be SOMETHING. Just, give use something, Sega.
