SCP-455-Cargo ship
Third POV
"Lead-1 this is Echo-2 with Scouter- 3 how copy?"
"Echo-2 this is Lead-1, we hear you loud and clear. How is the terrain? We good for full contact?"
"Lead-1, we are all clear for full contact. Scouter-3 hasn't reported any anomalies. Says it is fucking boring here."
"Echo-2, be advised this is a secured line. Professional communications only."
"Lead-1, this Echo-2 we copy over"
"Echo-2 we are sending in the rest of the team. Be advised to inform Scouter-3 to report any anomalies in the area. Team believes that this place is a space anomaly with unknown entity."
"Copy that over"
A man with technical gear, messy black hair and a radio on his back hung up the device. He looked at his partner who was a lean and wiry looking Hispanic man with lightweight climbing gear, night-vision goggles and other equipment to allow him to see the surrounding area. They looked at each before the Hispanic man started to laugh.
"You fucking told them I said that?"
"What was I suppose to do? I had to report everything. Lead-1 told us to report everything remember?"
"And, how is that working out for you genius. God, how are you the comms. Guy?"
"I will have you know I graduated top of my class. Do you see the entity or any anomalies?"
"Like I told you the hundredth team. I don't see shit. There is nothing here, besides the town and the surrounding buildings."
"Well, just let me know if you see anything. So, I can report back. Lead-1 is bring in the team."
"Think this shit is going to go downhill? I mean we never have it easy with this crap. Remember SCP-455?"
"No I wasn't on the team. But, I read the report on it. Is it true what happened to the last comms. Guy?
"Yeah. He was a dick though, and didn't listen so he died. Happens when you deal with the stuff we deal with and don't follow protocol. Just a standard hazard of the job."
"Yeah. I guess, but I would rather not die."
"And, you wont just follow lead-1 and the field guide."
They chatted for a while, before the rest of the team came in. They were being led and directed by lead-1. Lead-1 was a tall athletic built man; he had sharp green eyes and short-cropped brown hair. He had the look of a man who had been through a lot of things, and he was a no-nonsense type of person. He was the type of leader you wanted on a team like theirs. MTF Zeta-9 had been through a lot, and had a high mortality rate. It was surprising to them that these scientists wanted to go with them. But, Echo didn't question it. If they wanted to come to this place then let them.
When the security had been established and the scientists were getting their equipment set up. Lead started to walk over to Echo and Scouter.
"Scouter you see anything besides the house?"
"No, nothing to report sir"
"That is good. The boys will see to it that the spatial anomaly is open and that we don't have a reality warp or temporal affect happen."
Echo nervously asked
"Is that a possibility sir?"
"Son, anything could happen in a place like this. The boys just want to make sure that we are in the clear. We find this anomaly, hopefully get it in containment and leave. When that is done, we will come back to explore the rest of this place. That is where the anchors come in. So, that we wont have to wait for it to open to come back here. We can come and go as needed."
"Got it sir."
"Sir, I think I see the entity. He is wearing what was reported. Robes, bag and all."
"What is he doing?"
"He is just watching us sir, doesn't look like he is doing anything else."
"Physical description, any signs of abnormal human biology? Any signs of him being hesitant. I don't want to fight if we don't have to."
"No sir, he looks completely human. I think our 'damn Feds' were right about the anomaly, this looks exactly like Max. How do you want to do this lead-1?"
"We go in, try to communicate with him. He didn't hurt the first contact group." Lead was about to get his team ready to make contact, when Dr. Selene had came running up to them.
She was a tall woman light olive skin, with long brown hair that was tied in a ponytail. She was one of the psychologist that had agreed to come to this place. Saying that engaging in an humanoid SCP with violence would cause problems down the road. She was part of the group that wanted to help the SCPs. Believing that just force containment was bad for their psych.
She had a few scars on her foreman from past incidents involving her beliefs, but lead-1 couldn't help but find respect in a person that had held true to their beliefs
"I hope you gentleman aren't planning to engage this new SCP without me?"
"Wouldn't think about it Doc."
"Scouter where is the SCP located? And do we have a designation for him and this place" lead asked Dr. Selene
"No, not yet. We are working on it. We need to know if they are the same or different. Good first contact is important in this."
"Lead, he is still in the same position behind the build over there. Little thing is trying to be sneaky."
"Got it. Remember this SCP has been known to be friendly and will not engage unless provoked. We have Dr. Selene talk to him. If he gets hostile, we contain. Non-lethal only."
The team engaged, and they made their way to the entity
MC POV
I tried to see what those scientists were doing. They had set up some strange equipment by the entrance. I didn't know what it did, maybe measurements or something like that. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a group make it way towards me. It was the military group being led by a woman in a white coat. She saw me and smiled, and here I thought today was going to be easy.
She finally made her way by me and said.
"Hi, I am Dr.Selene and this is my team. We want to help you. Can you tell us about this place, what it is you are protecting us from and what we can do to help you? Can I call you Max for the time being?"
I looked at her in shock, how did she know my name. No, that was stupid I was famous or at least been on TV. Damnit I should have hid my face. Did old benny know about this? Did he call these people? No, that wasn't possible Fuck.
"Fine. But, you need to leave and whatever those guys are doing over there needs to stop. This place isn't safe."
"I am sorry Max, but we cant do that. If you come with us, we can take you somewhere safe. So, that you can get the help you need."
"NO! You don't understand anything. You need to leave now or I will have to force you to leave." I would deal with the aftermath later. I will have to change my looks, or something. These guys look like they are from top government agencies. The last thing I want is the government breathing down my neck as I try to get everyone safe and sound. I didn't need anymore stress.
The security guard next to the woman looked at his team briefly and then said.
"Dr.Selene this isn't working. Contain the SCP non-lethal"
"WHAT!" I heard the words SCP before I felt a sharp on my body. It was one in the shoulder, both legs, and the stomach.
"W-what?" They fucking shot me, not the worst that could happen. I felt sleepy Damnit another tranq. crap. I forced my brain to release all the adrenaline that it possible could to keep myself awake. I grabbed my staff, and used basic wind magic to push them away. I didn't think further as I made my way before cover.
"WHAT THE FUCK! Why did you shoot me?" I asked. I didn't really care about the reason but needed time for my worms to fix me up. I had severe pins and needles and honestly couldn't feel my legs.
"I am sorry max, but you need to come with us. I know this is scary, but I promise that you will be safe."
"Fuck that shit. You said SCP, are you guys' cosplayers or something."
"Max we are not cosplayers. We are with the foundation, our goal is to help peo-"
"FUCK ME! Fuck me in my tiny little ass. FUCK! DAMNIT! SHIT! Of fucking course this world has a fucking foundation. GOD…no fuck that guy."
I couldn't allow them to continue being here. I looked over and saw that the gate wasn't closing. In fact the gate was still fully open. It was almost sunset and that fucking gate was open.
I couldn't allow it, what if those monsters got free. How many people would die because of it. If these guys were part of the foundation, then I was never going to be free. They would take me and lock away the key. IF they were part of it. I needed to act now, and decided to do something I thought that I would never do. Force a soul to act.
The worms calmed my mind, as I sank deep into the world around me. Forcing on the active souls next to me. They were strong, warm and different from the souls here. They were more active, but that was okay.
The scientist's souls were first, they were 'weaker' and easier to control. Not only that but I needed them to destroy whatever was keeping the gate active.
'destroy device, leave. Go home. Report mission failure.' The drugs that were pushing into my body had stopped. I heard the sounds of that military guy again
"WHAT! Doc what do you mean they are breaking things down. Tell them to stop we-
The connection had reached them
'Leave, Go home, report mission failure'
"COGNITOHAZARD. I REPEAT COGNITOHAZARD!"
The gate scientist had destroyed the device, and was leaving through the entrance. The entrance without the device was closing fast. The woman that had first spoke to me was about to leave, when the connection with the soldiers had broken off.
I don't know what they did, but their souls changed. Souls don't change unless you changed. A personality change or something like that. The fact that all of these men`s souls changed wasn't normal in the bit.
Fuck. Is this really the SCP universe?
"Report Zeta-9?"
"All clear. Affects neutralized."
"Good. Fuck, the portal is closing Doc grab Dr.Selene tell her to get that thing open"
"NO!" A few deaths were better than a lot of deaths. That was common sense. Another hit of wind magic had knocked them all down. Which wasn't much considering that they were already kind of out of it.
They the Zeta-9 team fall back, with Dr. Selene while they were on the ground the portal had completely closed. Leaving only them, and me in this place. I noticed that the night had yet to fully come in yet but was very close. With the portal closed I felt better.
The thought of innocent people dying because of me wasn't something I wanted on my conscious. It was already bad enough being the leader of my group, I didn't want more stress. I wanted less stress. Thank god the worms constantly helped with my brain chemistry, who knows how fucked up I would be without it.
[NOTE- I personally think having terms at the top when I read a story. Comment if you want me to leave the terms at the top or bring them down here at the bottom. I will do whatever is easiser for you guys]
