The screen showed Onru and Hollis standing before the Thresher Device, the site now a hellscape of fire and chaos. Below them, the roars of three battling gods shook the facility.
Gunfire erupted.
"Tat-tat-tat! Tat-tat-tat!"
Onru and Hollis fired at writhing black tendrils, their bullets piercing through flames. In the background:
The Stag's antlers shredded the Leech's appendages.
Molten metal rods impaled black biomass, pinning it to walls.
Hollis glanced at Onru as she removed her helmet, grinning.
"Sorry for dragging you into this, 'Pink Ranger'."
"I HATE that nickname!"
The Thresher's hum drowned out all sound. Arcs of electricity spiderwebbed across the ceiling. Hollis' expression darkened as flames licked at Onru's body—
Then consumed her.
Left alone, Hollis laughed hysterically, unloading his rifle into the darkness.
Suddenly—
A blinding white light.
The Thresher activated.
Outside SCP-1730, witnesses gasped—only for Master Chief's voice to cut through:
"MOVE! NOW!"
The site imploded.
Space warped like water, then—BOOM!
SCP-1730 vanished, leaving a kilometer-wide crater. No signals. No anomalies. Just void.
The multiverse chat stilled.
Millions stared, their faces etched with disbelief.
"Holy f—king sht… Did we just win?"*
"Against the Stag and Gatekeeper?!"
"Leech Boy held his own against gods…"
"Hollis… you madman."
Interrogation Rooms | Site-0Deadpool's Debrief
The mercenary bragged about his "epic escape"—until asked about his missing legs. His grin faltered.
Irantu's Cold Logic
The resurrected Tau-5 captain spoke emotionlessly:
"Mission success. Minimal casualties. Acceptable margin of error."
The whitecoat hesitated. "You seem… unaffected."
"We saved lives. Why grieve?"
A pause. Then—
"Hollis didn't make it."
For the first time, Irantu froze.
"…Regrettable. His resilience was… admirable."
The multiverse understood.
Tau-5's numbness was forged through endless sacrifice.
Onru's Nightmare
Dr. Kondraki leaned forward. "Why did you follow Hollis?"
Onru's hands trembled as she described the room beyond reality:
A cliff overlooking infinite screaming humans—wrists severed, begging the void.
A sky collapsing like meteors. Billions of charred corpses.
A name: "Malidramagiuan."
Kondraki's pen froze. "You disabled your cameras because—?"
"Its memetic kill agent would've erased your minds."
Then—the worst revelation:
"It showed Hollis something. He… laughed. And wept."
