Equinox

Equinox is a scientific laboratory located in New Tek City in the Special Zone. It is staffed entirely by crocodiles. When Super Sonic sought to escape the Black Asteroid by heating it up from within and causing it to explode, Vector the Crocodile sought Equinox's help, as Equinox apparently owed Vector a favour. The scientists were able to recharge the Omni-Viewer (whose energy had been drained by an extended period trying to hold Super Sonic prisoner), and also determined that the explosion of the Black Asteroid would cause an electromagnetic pulse that would knock out every computerised system on the planet, causing total chaos.
