Because I will probably never play this, nor be interested in watching cutscenes, I'm hoping that someone here can completely spoil the story for me.  I've heard stuff like
SPOILERS BEGIN









Shade is an Echidna
Eggman is on the home team
The civ. that made Emerl is still alive

So I just want to know the full story without playing the game.  I know SOMEBODY must have gotten pretty far through it by now.

Yes, they're all true. Haven't played the game yet but I know they're all true. I've seen the pics of Shade without the helmet. She has this kunoichi look to her (the best way I can describe her).

Well, I'm only up to the part where Sonic and Knuckes chase after Shade to Angel Island.

I meant the entire story.  Bioware hinted that this was going to be a pivotal part of the future Sonic storyline, so pretty much any details as they come.
