'''Michael Robert Row''', also known as '''The Engineer''', is a [[Human]] created by [[User:GuyThatExists|GuyThatExists]] that appears in the [[:Category:Fanfiction|short story]] ''[[Fanon:Heather Dating Sim|Heather Dating Sim]]'' as a supporting character.

He is a version of [[Mike]] that lives in [[Fanon:Roboville|Roboville]], a version of [[Rapoville]] where he had mechanized everything. He is much colder and more calculated than his canon counterpart, although he is easily excited by prspects of escape, and he ends up directly helping [[Fanon:Samsung|You]] and [[Fanon:Alme Palmette|Alme]] come face to face with the [[Fanon:Master of the Abyss|Master of the Abyss]]. After you jump into [[Fanon:The Abyss|The Abyss]], he begins to harness [[Fanon:Abyssal Energy|Abyssal Energy]] for use in Roboville, helping him create communication between alternate universes.

== {{Icon|Tower}} Appearance ==
Being a version of [[Mike]], he shares many of the same attributes, although he appears much older. He has grown a small goatee and now wears glasses. He also wears a lighter blue shirt and a long, white lab coat.

=={{Icon|Book}} Story ==
===Before Heather Dating Sim===
After the events of [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]], Mike was never woken up from his coma, and thus, he stayed in the [[Raposa]] world. Eventually, he began to update and mechanize [[Rapoville]] thanks to technological advancements from [[Galactic Jungle]]. He continued to upgrade the village, eventually mechanizing the Raposa and creating the [[Fanon:Mechanized Raposa|Mechanized Raposa]]. He continued to develop the village, mechanizing [[Frostwind]] to keep the Raposa from leaving, but something eventually happened to the villagers, causing Mike to shut down all but seven or eight Raposa, taking away the free will of all but [[Fanon:Heather 2.0|Heather 2.0]].

===''[[Fanon:Heather Dating Sim|Heather Dating Sim]]''===
====Canon Path====
[[Fanon:Samsung|You]] first meet The Engineer when Heather 2.0 leads you into his office. She asks him to explain quantum technology to you and plugs into a quantum port to access your memories. This gives Mike the idea to give Heather 2.0 a quantum upgrade. He runs off with her after sending you to find [[Fanon:Pleather|Pleather]] and [[Fanon:Alme Palmette|Alme]]. He quickly returns with the now upgraded [[Fanon:Heather 2.0|Q-Heather]]. 

He urges you to jump into [[Fanon:The Abyss|The Abyss]] to fight the [[Fanon:Master of the Abyss|Master of the Abyss]], and you oblige, jumping in with Alme. Mike doesn't play a major role in the fight against the Master, but uses the time while the [[Fanon:Abyssal Rifts|Abyssal Rifts]] were open to harvest [[Fanon:Abyssal Energy|Abyssal Energy]] and contain it. After the fight, while people reunite from across the universes, Mike explains that he now had access to the energy.

Eventually, everyone begins to leave Roboville, and Mike wishes you luck in life. Later on, he derives a way to communicate between universes, sending you a text from Roboville.

====Non-Canon Paths====
*If you break into [[Fanon:The Engineer's Lab|The Engineer's Lab]], there is a high likelihood that Mike will shoot you.
*If you and Alme break into Heather 2.0's chamber, he will break in and try to kill Alme.
**If you shoot Mike during this segment, both of you will die.
**If you don't shoot Mike during this segment, you will give up on life but be sucked into the abyss.
*If you, Alme, and Pleather all meet up in The Engineer's Lab, he will explain the multiverse to you.
*If you decide to kill the Master, Mike and Willham will create the [[Fanon:3DS Stylus|3DS Stylus]].
*If you decide to spend the rest of your day with Q-Heather, Mike will see the error of his ways and be sent back to his Belleview.

{{Quote|text=Where are you gonna be?}}
{{Quote|text=Pleather and Alme are both at the beach looking at scraps, go grab them and bring them to the Eternal Flame Pedestal!}}
{{Quote|text=Y/n, Pleather, Alme? Introducing Q-Heather!}}
{{Quote|text=We can’t. If we go in and something goes wrong, we won’t be able to get you back out. All of Q-Heather’s servers are built in this Roboville, so we need to stay back and defend them if the cracks try to break anything.}}
{{Quote|text=I ended up collecting a shitton of it. We have enough energy to power Roboville until the universe dies out!}}

{{Quote|text=You know who I am, don’t you?}}
{{Quote|text=Hm, so I’m not crazy. That’s a nice thing to confirm. So, here's the first question. Where are you from?}}
{{Quote|text=Oh, I can relate to that. Now, second question. Who are you a variant of? Me? Jowee? Fuckin’… Teo?}}
{{Quote|text=You’ve met different Heathers? You’ve been able to jump between universes? How? Please, you have to tell me!}}
{{Quote|text=You have to tell me more! How’d you get the cracks to open?}}
{{Quote|text=Maybe we can find a way to control it…}}
{{Quote|text=You look like me. Is this why you came here? Just to fuck around with my stuff?}}
{{Quote|text=Where is your home anyways? Belleview? Rapoville? The Void?}}
{{Quote|text=Oh! You’re from Earth! That clears everything up!}}
{{Quote|text=Alright, I have an idea! When the cracks open up, I can connect this to 2.0, and she can analyze the multiverse! All we have to do is jump into the crack with her to get the results!}}
{{Quote|text=2.0, you have no idea how important this is. Meet me by the pedestal!}}
{{Quote|text=Y/n, please come with me! We’re both gonna get to go home now!}}
{{Quote|text=2.0!!}}
{{Quote|text=The system’s fried. Completely unresponsive to input. Plan’s gone y/n. We’re not going home.}}
{{Quote|text=That would make sense. Jowee was an excellent explorer, so anyone able to hold their own out of their own universe would surely be a version of him.}}
{{Quote|text=So, is this your first universe or your second?}}
{{Quote|text=Well now you have to tell me how you got here.}}
{{Quote|text=Nothing to set either of them apart at a glance? Nothing obviously missing? No one trapped in a bottle?}}
{{Quote|text=I’m sure that it doesn’t connect too closely, although it’s odd that you got pulled into these worlds if yours is so different.}}
{{Quote|text=My Heather? From Belleview-X? You’re certain?}}
{{Quote|text=You should come join us then, meet me and y/n at the pedestal.}}
{{Quote|text=Maybe Belleview-? is actually Belleview-X. Wanna go meet Heather and find out?}}
{{Quote|text=The system’s fried. Completely unresponsive to input.}}
{{Quote|text=She has her Mike. I’ve seen this one before, long time ago.}}
{{Quote|text=Ok cool, you’re just as lost as I am then. Honestly, I have no idea what to do with you if you don’t know at the very least who you are. Just go… find yourself an open home or something.}}
{{Quote|text=Sorry, just go in.}}
{{Quote|text=Oh, hey you two. Getting along well?}}
{{Quote|text=I really got you thinkin’ that much? Well, be my guest; I’m curious too.}}
{{Quote|text=No obvious matches. Hmmm, 11.6% possibility for Jowee, and that’s the highest confidence I can see. 10.25% Mari, 9.5% Mike, 7% DJ. Nothing that meets any good estimation threshold.}}
{{Quote|text=The fuck was that!? Heather, scan the village!}}
{{Quote|text=Don’t just stand here! Follow her!}}
{{Quote|text=Who are you. Y/n. How did you get here?}}
{{Quote|text=How do I find a crack? Hey. Answer the question.}}
{{Quote|text=Alright. Give me one good reason not to kill you right here.}}
{{Quote|text=Is that so? Prove it. Get the Master here, now.}}
{{Quote|text=Good to know. Thank you 2.0.}}
{{Quote|text=Looks like you’ve done everything you needed to. Goodbye, y/n.}}
{{Quote|text=After this long stuck in this prison, that’s hardly a concern.}}
{{Quote|text=Any last words? Good. See you around y/n.}}
{{Quote|text=Seriously? Begging for your life at a moment like this? You do realize what’s going on here, right?}}
{{Quote|text=You really wanna go home y/n? I do too. Let’s get the fuck out of here.}}
{{Quote|text=We don’t have time to discuss that right now. Did all of you get here through the cracks?}}
{{Quote|text=Do any of you know how to navigate the Abyss?}}
{{Quote|text=You really don’t have any idea how ironic that is. Although if you aren’t gonna cooperate, I don’t have a use for you. I’ll just go find your other friend.}}
{{Quote|text=Hello friend! This is the Engineer speaking! Our protection drone here has noticed that you have left the village! We all know that for our systems to work properly, we have to stay in range of my signals. Now, you are being delivered to a safe location where you can be stored until we can fix you up.|caption=Through Frostguard}}
{{Quote|text=The system’s fried. Completely unresponsive to input. Y/n, you better have a damn good explanation for all this.}}
{{Quote|text=Why did you do that? You could’ve died! Alme nearly broke down!}}
{{Quote|text=2.0! You’re back!}}
{{Quote|text=I don’t know and frankly I don’t care. You’re alive!}}
{{Quote|text=What are you doing? We just got her back and I’m not letting you break her!}}
{{Quote|text=So, Alme. Y/n. Nice to meet you two in person! I’m Mike Row.}}
{{Quote|text=Oh, don’t think I didn’t listen in to everything you two talked about when you got here. I’m sure you’ve met some form of Heather than looks like a Raposa. This is our version of her, Heather 2.0!.}}
{{Quote|text=Don’t mind if I do. This is where we are right now, Rapoville-X.}}
{{Quote|text=Anyways, Rapoville-X is the home of Heather 2.0, Jowbot, basically everyone here but me. I’m from Belleview-X, a hypothetical Belleview that exists connected to this Rapoville.}}
{{Quote|text=Because I have the memories from that realm. I remember Aly, my Heather, all of it. The only thing I can’t remember is how I got here or how I could get back. Alme, you’re a special case. You’re outside of most of the realms in The Void, meaning you’re not from a Belleview or Rapoville. However, you seem to be connected to Belleview+ and Rapoville+ as I’ve been calling them.}}
{{Quote|text=Belleview-DC5. That’s what I’m calling it.}}
{{Quote|text=Well, according to this data, in that town called Bellevue, there’s both Jeremiah and Heather. Turns out, there’s a version of our lives that exists as video games. Drawn to Life. Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter. Drawn to Life: Two Realms.}}
{{Quote|text=You bastards! What have you done!?}}
{{Quote|text=Oh, don’t think I didn’t listen in to everything you three talked about when you got here. In fact, Pleather got here a long while before you two!}}
{{Quote|text=Now, you Pleather, you’re from Plushview, or Belleview-P as I have it labeled. We currently don’t know anything about the connected Rapoville-P however.}}
{{Quote|text=Oh my god you’re alive… Heather… You’re here and you’re alive!!}}
{{Quote|text=How’d you get here? Actually nevermind that, we can get home now! I can finally go back to Belleview!!}}
{{Quote|text=What the hell is going on here!? Fuckin’ hell you guys, you’re gonna kill her!}}
{{Quote|text=Alright I’ve had enough of this.}}
{{Quote|text=Alright, let’s get you over to my lab, shall we?}}
{{Quote|text=So, y/n. What realm are you from? Hello? Earth to y/n?}}
{{Quote|text=Get off of me, asshole! I’m trying to save her life!}}
{{Quote|text=Don’t you fucking move Creator!}}
{{Quote|text=You’re coming with me, asshole.}}
{{Quote|text=Almost. You have one try Creator. Send us back.}}
{{Quote|text=Alright, you had your chance. I’m going home whether you like it or not.}}
{{Quote|text=Holographic? Oh, you mean 2.0! No, you haven’t met her yet, just seen her likeness. But you have to tell me more! How’d you get the cracks to open?}}
{{Quote|text=We’re out of time!!}}
{{Quote|text=The defense mechanism. I added it in case anyone tampered with the Quantum Drive. It sends them back to right before the incident.}}
{{Quote|text=Hey, y/n? Can we talk for a second?}}
{{Quote|text=I think I have a way to send everyone you and Pleather back home if you’d like.}}
{{Quote|text=It’s okay buddy. You’re almost ready to go.}}
{{Quote|text=Huh, that’s weird. Anyways. You should join me down here.}}
{{Quote|text=Hello! We were told to come here by Willham, and this is supposed to help you send us home.}}
{{Quote|text=Good luck out there, y/n.}}
{{Quote|text=So, you got the hots for my sister?}}
{{Quote|text=You better be careful with that. Don’t need to get on my wrong side.}}
{{Quote|text=Oh don’t worry. I know that. Just know that if for any reason, you fuck her up? You’re done.}}
{{Quote|text=Alright everyone, charge up!}}
{{Quote|text=I was wrong about the village. This wasn’t the right path.}}
{{Quote|text=When the Creator didn’t send me home, I thought if I took control of the world, took the place of the Creator, then I could find a way home for myself. I was wrong.}}
