It’s an interesting concept not one that is completely plausible as there are other constant threats from badniks and other villains, but the comic commenting on this is showing some gradual awareness of what’s happening and potentially leaving it open to re-explore those concepts. There’s no real crime with the exception of Eggman so they’re not really equipped for violence.

There are comments on the fact that there’s not much defence as the world of Sonic doesn’t really have much need for violence.

The Deadly Six comment that there is not that much resistance from their attack, and they found the defences quite easy to break through.

Which in hindsight feels like it’s a bit of a narrative mis-step from an organisation meant to fight a controlling overlord in Eggman. With the key characters in the restoration (Sonic, Chaotix and Tails) out of the picture, it leaves the HQ slightly open to attack from The Deadly Six. The issue applies this story with a surprising pace alongside a few surprising moments of moral debate. This is with the Deadly Six’s attack on Restoration HQ and Dr Starline’s abduction of Belle for reasons unknown.

Lacking an over-arching story, it’s becoming clear with issue #42 of IDW Publishing’s Sonic the Hedgehog that the main focus is on the characters rather than a plot MacGuffin.
