//------------------------------// // SCP-682 // Story: SCP - Secure, Contain, and Ponies // by The System //------------------------------// SCP-682. Hard-to-Destroy Reptile. -Top Secret Data- -------- As they were riding the train to Applelossa, Civil explained a few more things to Twilight about the mysterious facility. "So they are a lot of strange and unusual things called SCPs?" "Yes." "In a top secret facility known as the SCP Foundation, which stands for 'Secure, Contain, and Protect'?" "Yes." "And you, plus all the other things, are SCPs?" "Yes." "Sounds like nonsense." "Listen, I'm only telling you what they told me!" "Who are they?" "The professors!" "Right, and I'm suppose to believe about them, too?" "No! You're missing the point!" "What point?" "You are impossible to reason with." "Anyways, I think we're here." As they all stepped off the train, they were confronted by Braeburn. "Applejack! Thank goodness you're here! Something' happened to the machine at the hospital!" "Seventy-nine. Where is the hospital?" "Just follow me!" He led them to the hospital, where the ponies were surrounding the computer, trying to fix it. "Step back, all of you." He sat down and spoke to the A.I. "Where is 682?" "I'm trying to find him. Don't worry." "The ponies won't tell me anything. I must find him." "Hold on. You're..." "Upgrading." "Right. Anyways-" "Look, I need him now. I found out something that we can put to our advantage." "Which is?" "*whisper* I know how to get rid of the ponies." "We have to find Six-hundred eighty-two. Now." ------ "Over here! We got movement!" "Out of my way!" "Is that it?" "682?" "Help... me. I can't... move." "Come on, get up." Civil lifted 682 out of the hole he was stuck in and put him back on the ground. He began connecting to his surroundings. "Where are we?" "From what I heard, we are in Equestria."
