In Rouge's first level, GUN is seen holding a turtle at gunpoint for unknown reasons. This proved them to be have caused more harm than good in general, although unintentional. They attack Sonic and his friends (although, many factors, such as GUN's mistaking of Sonic for Shadow, and Tails' attack on Prison Island, might have provoked this). GUN's role in this game is simply to contain the threat posed by Shadow the Hedgehog and Dr. As the plot is revealed, it is shown that GUN were responsible for the mistaken capture of Sonic the Hedgehog, the ending of Project Shadow, the invasion and subsequent deactivation of the Space Colony ARK, and the death of its inhabitants - including Maria Robotnik. In Sonic Adventure 2, the GUN organization was introduced.
