Our assistant.

>Secure the nearest SCP cells (Safe level)

There might be something helpful in those.
Gerald is more than competent enough to look after himself AND Kelly.

>>26584224
Ok, got it. Which one we like?

>>26584248
Both.
Kelly is new to field business, Gerald is experienced.

>>26584163
Holy shit a quest that doesnt start at two in the morning. What witchcraft is this?

>>26584267
Thanks!

>>26584248
From what I can tell, Kelly is the cute newbie and Gerald is literally Gerald of Rivia.

>>26584307
Yeah, that sounds about right.
He should be able to help Kelly.

>>26584188
>>26584224
Instincts as old as your teenage years kick in, and you move, not sprinting, not jogging. You draw your weapon as the Eyepods wheel into view, pushing a wheelchair'd scientist out into the hallway with their usual chittering. Once he's there, they turn and follow you, wheels hissing with effort.

The Safe SCP are not truly dangerous - not alone. Combinations, in the wrong hands, and the like - that is when a Safe SCP becomes a hazard. For example, the Witches are considered Safe, because they are predictable in their motivations and simple in their actions. However...

The Maiden, black of hair and white of skin, is hand in hand with Terrence. You almost fire, until you realize they are moving back towards her cell.

"Agent! It's insane, all the power-"

"Went out, I know." you reply. "Maiden, do you know this disturbance?"

"Nay, hedged knight." you rankle at the term, from when the Foundation was quite young. "This is not our doing or our sort."

You sigh. "Get her back in containment. See if you can't emergency start the backup once she is secured." you say.
Terrence nods.
"I catch you with her later, there will be no discussion. Clear?"

"Yes sir."

You part from them and move on, securing two other cells - mostly it is checking the heavy doors, making sure they are shut. The Superball got out, you find it in the hallway in a D-class's chest. The Crone was tending him, you bring her back. Gerald is in the hallway.
Missing an arm.

>Write in

>>26584325
>What's the situation Gerald?

>>26584307

Now that you say it, yes he actually is.

Well great, now I have this mental image I'm not going to get rid of.

>>26584325
>What the hell happened ? Did you stop the bleeding ?

>>26584325
Is he you know, bleeding? Approach and call out to him, is he responsive? Help him bandage the wound if necessary.

>>26584372
Actually, scratch that. The first thing to do is to scan the area to see if *what* took out his arm is still around.

>>26584325
What do you mean he "is" in a hallway?
Bleeding, unconscious, currently getting eaten by something?

Regardless, help him!

Do we know any scps that could be assuming geralds form?

>>26584369
"Good lord, Gerald!"

He grins as he turns to you.
"You should see the other guy."

"At least tell me it's properly dressed."

"Better than I usually am."

You look around. Nothing in the area hints at a Keter lurking about. "Don't worry. I came out here to check on the Coven." he says. He has a connection to them - they were his first catch, and he feels somewhat responsible for them. "But it's hell in D-class apartments and Keter zone. Overseer's sealed the areas with the failsafes. We're not getting back in until the power comes up." he sighs.

You frown.
"That's a little hasty."

"No, it isn't." he says. "Not after what got loose. We have to move as soon as we find Kelly." he says, choking down a Panacea. His missing arm will develop a stump soon enough, then.

"Why?"

"The Church and the Hand teamed up. Hand busted our power sources, somehow, through the lines. We suspect an artifact. The Hand slipped in."

"...What did they get?"

"The Heart of their God."

"No."

"682."

You feel your belly drop out. Merely catching it the first time took half the Agents of the time and a small town in central Asia. "There's no way they breached the security that fast."

"They had someone working the inside for months, Overseer thinks. An hour before the attack, we lost the acid bath. Before we could act, everything went to shit."

Your eyes slip to the missing arm. "Not the Beast. Was the doors. Overseer gave me a minute more than he shoulda."

>>26584477
Whoops.
Well, at least it shouldn't be hard to find.

Ask Gerald if he knows where she could be.

That may not be such a good thing.
By the way, next time we go to the Machine, we're putting in a copy of Orange Road in it.

>>26584556
You know, how come all the standard agent equipment don't come from the Machine anyway? That seems like the smart thing to do.

>>26584556
If we meet the lizard, we stab it in the back and use the blade to ride it. If we are going to die might as well do it in style.

>>26584578
It would turn all SCP operations into SCP cross testing is what it would do.

>>26584578
Its an unreliable scp read it up

>>26584556
Why dont we just put a gun in it?
>>26584580
Our sword doesnt have a blade we cant stab with it.

>>26584578
Usually because it's incredibly unreliable, and SCP usually wants to CONTAIN rather than eliminate.
Not to mention if any SCPs got their hands on those weapons...

>>26584580
No, the good thing about the Blade is that it's range is potentially unlimited, and if we don't have to be upclose to the Lizard we can potentially keep it immobile.

>Find Kelly!

"We need to find Kelly."

He nods. "I sent her to check on Happy." he said. "Had to be sure he didn't get hurt."

You chuckle. "I'll go make sure she's alright." you say, dashing off. "You go secure Safe block 2!"

So delegated, you part, and make your way to Happy's cell.

Happy is a huge orange blob with the consistency of peanut butter, and the intellect of a puppy. Everything he touches, he makes happier, and he likes to touch things. Between him and the Eyepods, the facility is known for being quite peaceable and good to work in. Very few even knew the Beast was here.

You find Kelly neck deep in happy and giggling madly.

"James!" she calls, wading out with a few fading laughs. "Thank goodness you're alright. How's Gerald?"

You shrug.
"He'll be fine. Knowing him, he will replace his arm somehow."

"He lost his arm?"

"Yeah, safeguard doors bit him." you say, "Not literally. He just wasn't quite fast enough. He's dressed it. More importantly, we need to equip up and get moving. We've a containment breach."

"A Keter?"

"Yes."

"...Which one?"

It's not "organics"
It sliced up a D-Class before you even tried to hurt him.
You had to put it directly up to a mouse it even hurt it.

Perhaps it has to do with what the subject we're trying to kill is feeling?
Or what we feel to IT?
>And 682 has adapted to a lot worse than sword wounds.
It's a temporary measure, especially since we can do it through walls.

"Good."

There's a soft hum, and the lights flicker on. "There's Terrence with the power. We need to get moving."

You tackle Kelly as a shot fires, grazing your shoulder painfully.
"Damnation." mutters a voice behind you. "One would think the hedged knights would be slain by the Heart of God, but it seems to have other things in mind..."

You rise, and the cloaked man slides another round into his Thompson Contender, snapping it back up. You know that gun.

The man smiles, a small, shattered mirror hanging from his neck. His cloak is covered with broken glass.

"Agent James." he says, "I presume." he takes aim.

The gun, the gun, you know that gun, you know it, but can't place it.

"Hello, Kerry."

He laughs.
"Is my gun that widespread in fiction already? That japanese bastard." he grumbles. "The name is Dockson, and I am a Voice of the Church." he aims. "Now, release this Piece, and we all walk out alive." he says, gesturing to Happy.

You're mostly unarmed, the pistol in your hand feeling useless for the moment. You still aren't sure what that gun does. If only you could remember...

"I don't think you understand, James." the Voice says softly. "You were very lucky. A direct hit... Ah, well." he shrugs. "What will it be?"

>>26584940
As long as you give it a hug.

>>26584940

The sword is on our belt, right?

"Powers back on, doors are locked. You need me to get out of here, and you currently have a hell of a gun trained on me, so I'll make nice and play along. I'm reaching for my keycard now."

Slowly reach down to our belt.

And then use the sword to take his arm off.

>>26584940
Hand Happy over, like what's the worst that could happen?

>>26584998
I'm pretty sure that he'll notice that it's a sword not a keycard we're pulling out. And he has a gun trained on us.

>>26585008
It's not a sword, it's a sword handle.
He shouldn't know by sight that it's something lethal.

>>26585000
He's one of the only things that can contain the Lizard.

>>26585000
The absolute worst? Probably 999 exhibiting some previously completely unknown behavior due to contact with the gun SCP.

You reach for the sword, moving as fast as you can, swinging with all that you have.

Nothing happens. Oh god. Oh god, you're going to-

A sword emerges from the mans chest at the same time the gun goes off, and it hits your hand. Immediately, Kelly takes the sword from the air, and severs your hand, nervousness in her eyes as you scream in pain.

Not in the severing, in the gun wound. It hurts, it hurts on a level you cannot even begin to imagine, gripping your heart and your your soul, barbed wire across your bare spirit.

That's right.

The gun shoots your soul. NOW you remember.

"Stablize him!" you hear distantly. "Get a Panacea!"

"We have to move now!"

"There... time... Contain..."

You wake up to the steady thumping of helicopter blades, and a gentle pain in your hand. What used to be your hand.

"You're thirty two." Gerald says. "How you feeling?"

"Like there's a hole in my damn soul, Gerald. How do you think."

"Sorry."

"...Where are we?"

"We're in Australia, on approach to Ground Zero. 682 has settled in the remains of a small town here. We're blaming it on terrorists and have the support of Omega, Beta, and Alpha."

"Alpha squad, really? Aren't they usually for larger scale?"

"Yes, but..." he hedges.

"682 might have almost started a world war." Kelly manages.

"For fuck's sake." you hear yourself say. "Current plan?"

"Launch the fucker into space towards a black hole." Gerald says. "But we have to acid bath him first."

"What are we riding in?"

"Helicopter holding the single largest amount of aqua regia known to man." he says with a laugh. "We'll drop it on him, then drag the remains into a tank, then launch it into space. Assuming we do it right, it won't be able to get back, and when it does, we'll be able to handle it. We need to get rid of it."

"What happened?"

"Happy saved Dockson. He's in a holding cell back home. He'll be demoted to D-class and assigned to Montuak." he says simply. "Right now, there's not much to do."

you sigh, leaning back.
"How'd you know what to do?" you ask Kelly.

"I knew the gun." she said quietly. "And if the damage was allowed to spread..."

"Thank you." you grumble, as the entire helicopter pitches as something impacts it, sending it wide.

"Well, uh. That's the thing. The Beast went through a lot of that FC. We had to evac." he said, "And uh. activate the final failsafe."

You moan quietly, laying back.

"This is the worst workday on the fucking planet." you say, as the helicopter dumps its load - and then your window is filled with lizardface.

Gerald swears, picking up his sword, and Kelly screams, the Thompson flying from her hand, skittering across the floor near the beast, a hole in the hull as it starts to tear at it, face like a crocodile meets a bird of prey.

"DISGUUUUUSTING" it roars, the gun vibrating closer towards the beast and the hole.

You dive, picking it up in your good and only hand. Shit. Shit. You stumble back from the claws that rend at the area, feet slipping on the wet floor as you fall on your ass and aim.

Considering the beast is taking up most of your field of view, it's not impressive that you hit. But it no-sells the shot.

You pull out the sword, instead, swinging at the metal. It falls.

And now has wings.

So you pull out your rifle, and take aim.

"Shh." you say. "Let me aim." The gun feels familiar in your hands. For the second time in a long time, you fire.

The gun SCREAMS, making you recoil in shock as a hole appears in the beast, and your gun shakes and vibrates, skittering on the floor. Geralde puts his foot on top of it.

"The fuck did you do?" he asks. "The fuck did WE do? The hell just happened?!" he asks, as the Beast simply falls from the sky, towards the earth.
