Secure. Contain. PONIES.

Chapter 3 : Slight Problem

"YOU DID WHAT!?" you heard somepony screamed atop of their lungs inside Heavy Containment Zone, you quickly rush to the voice and see three guards and a mare wearing navy blue MTF uniform. You trotted beside them and asked them what is going on.

"Oh Captain, this IDIOTS 'accidently' create a Containment Breach. Way to go everypony," the sound of Blueswift echoed across Heavy Containment Zone.

"What kind of SCP had been breached?" you asked calmly, trying to settle down the intensity among the four pony, your presence alone seemed to gave the guards little hope inside.

Before the guards or Blueswift can told you anything, you hear a low groan. Zombie like groan, you quickly scold the three guard, "Did you just released SCP Zero-Zero-Eight!?"

The four frowned, and Blueswift asked you almost quickly, "What is Zero-Zero-Eight, sir?"

Your eyes widened as you forgot about the SCP you've talking about, level four security clearance are required to read such SCP, you decided not to tell them but you gave a quick explanation. "SCP Zero-Zero-Eight is an SCP that has the same effect as Zero-Four-Nine. Something like that anyway," you heard the zombie groan came closer and a sound you very much familiar with.

SCP Zero-Four-Nine walked with two zombie like creature better known as Zero-Four-Nine dash Two, "Oh my, yet another victim of the disease."

You and the others were startled by Oh-Four-Nine, he still using the medieval era plague robe and the iconic bird mask. You draw your deagle the others followed by aiming their rifle at the plague doctor, and you ordered him to return to his chamber. Oh-Four-Nine tilt his head and looked at you, afterwards he point his hooves toward you, "You are not a doctor. You cannot tell me what to do, good sir."

His zombie creature limp slowly towards the group, you aimed your fifty cal pistol at one of the zombie and noticed almost immediately the scarred face. It was Sunny Flare, the poor mare turned into these... monstrosities, mindless creature that couldn't do anything but wander aimlessly. You looked away for a moment, Blueswift asked you what to do now.

BLAM! BLAM!

Two shots from your deagle pierced through the mare-zombie head, seeing your action, Blueswift started to shoot her rifle towards the other zombie, piercing through its already ripped vest and ending its life with a three round burst of bullet to the head. SCP-Zero-Four-Nine backed away, "Please good sir, I am trying to cure you ponies, off from the pestilence."

BLAM!

Another shot from your deagle, hitting the floor near Oh-Four-Nine foreleg. That makes Oh-Four-Nine agitated, "SIR! I am trying to cure you, why do you ponies being so ignorant. My cure is most effective!"

BLAM!

Another shot yet again, but this time you shot your deagle close to Oh-Four-Nine barely missing his head as the shot flew across the hallway and hitting close to the metal door, unfortunately more guard -- three of them -- arrived and opened that same door. Surprised as the shot almost hit one of the guard straight in the head, they shouted at you to watch your fire.

"Oh-Four-Nine, surrender immediately or the next shot will in between your mask," you asked Oh-Four-Nine to give up his resistance, as he is surrounded in two sides and there is no way to escape. SCP Zero-Four-Nine admit his defeat and allow himself to be restrained and captured, three researcher arrived just as Oh-Four-Nine being restrained and cuffed. They asked you what in Equestria happened, and then saw the already decomposed corpse of two security guard. They demanded an explanation from you, but you ignored them and turned your attention to the three guards that stand there doing absolutely nothing.

"You Three! I want to know who in Equestria let Oh-Four-Nine escaped!" you called out to them, they looked terrified behind their full-visor helmet that cover their face. You glared at them as they struggling to answer your question.

"W-well, as you can see sir," one of the guard finally said hesitantly, the three looked very nervous. They know one of them must took the blame for it. One Stallion decided to took all the blame for himself and answer your question, "I let Oh-Four-Nine escaped, sir." the researchers gasped in shock, but you didn't and listen to his story.

"So, we were inside Oh-Four-Nine chamber, the two guard-" the stallion looked at the zombified deadponies that had been carried away. He sighed, "-Were guarding outside the Containment Chamber just behind the door. One of us got bored while waiting for the researcher, so they decided to play around a little bit."

The stallion stop and looked at his fellow guard, you can see the concerned look on their face telling the stallion not to take all the blame. You told the stallion to continue his story, which he did. "They accidently pressed on a button which apparently, open the door to Oh-Four-Nine door. And as you know it, this happened."

"YOU DESERVE TO BE DEMOTED! OR WORST, TERMINATED!" one of the researcher shouted atop of his lung at the guard, the stallion guard does nothing, he knew the very own consequence of admitting one of his fellow guardsmate to let them of the hook. But unfortunately that is not the case as you step in front of the stallion guard. You looked down at him to see his name on the nametag, "Halestorm".

You sighed and pat his shoulder, "I'm sorry, but the three of you will received your punishment due to your carelessness of not looking after other guard."

The three looked down to the floor, they'll ready for any punishment given to them. You ordered the three to be taken away to custody, and told them to wait their punishment. They nodded and let them self to be taken and escorted by other security guard. You sighed heavily as another breach had been taken care off without any further problem, Blueswift trotted next to you, and ask you what are you going to do now.

You shrugged, "Maybe retire myself for today, a hell lot of things happen today."

Blueswift chuckle, "Even though most of the time you just stayed at your office, waiting to be assigned for a mission. Yeah retire for the day, eh?"

You glared at her, "T-that is very much different, Blueswift."

She snickered back and seems to try to hold a laugh which she failed to do so, "Oh, I know you most of the time, Captain."

You grunted, and walked away in annoyance. She called out your name and told you to wait, but you ignore her and kept on continuing walking down the hallway. She galloped to you in order to catch up with you, just as she almost reach you, you closed the metal door behind you making her slamming head first to the metal door. You almost laugh dearly after she slammed her head to the metal door, and then murmured something about getting you next time.

*** *** ***

Two days since the attempt of breakout by Scp Oh-Four-Nine, even though it was an accident. The three guard responsible for it was punished very severely, but Halestorm is the one who take the most of the blame. Even demotion didn't really stop the punishment given to him, that poor buck didn't really deserve that, but he took responsibility for his comrade.

You heard a knock on your door, and you told to whoever knocking the metal door to your office to leave you alone. Another knock from the door, making you really agitated and shouted atop of your lungs. "BLUESWIFT, I SWEAR TO CELESTIA, I WILL GET YOUR FLANK SLAPPED!"

"That's not nice for a Captain to shout at his superior," you heard a voice you've never heard in a long time behind the metal door, you quickly opened the button to slide open the door. Your eyes widened as you see your old time friend in the Foundation, working with you at the very beginning since recruitment and has been a close friend and companions to you.

"Storm Cloud, by Celestia could you not be a jackass and don't gave me a suprise visit," you said happily as you stood up from you chair and as he entered your office.

Storm chuckle lightly, "If i told you I've come today, you would not be willing to accept me. Are you not?"

You two stared at each other for a minute before laughing and hugging each other in warm embrace. You told him that should he be busy training the new recruit for Pi-One Aka the "City Slickers"?

"Nah, I'll got transferred to Nu-Seven, we can see and visit each other more often now."

You told him that it won't come to that, the intensity still high up on the foundation. All Mobile Task Force will be needed if necessary, therefore they must be all ready for an assignment or a rapid deployment.

"Pftt... like you will get the assignment anytime soon," He laughed at you, reminding you the title you once had "Lucky Mobile Task Force Commander Assignment".

You rolled your eyes and sigh, "It's only pure luck that i didn't saw action like... what seven months?"

He chuckle again, but this time his chuckle seemed low. He looked at you for a second and then ask you how well are you doing in the facility. You snickered as you answered with not really a lie but also not the truth. "Aw come on, tell me the real truth here," Cloud said, unhappy with your word. Seeing you're not going to be budge with question, he told you that he must left soon.

"Can we see each other again soon?" you said before he left your office. Storm turn his head to you, hesitating for awhile and said that he don't really know how soon, but they will meet again. In time.

You waved a goodbye to him as the door slides back into a close. Silence once again filled the room, only to be breaked by a clock that ticks slowly in your office. You sighed, opened your drawer and grab a photo of your young daughter with you, along with Storm Cloud, still on his MTF uniform. You smiled as you remember all the memories you had with them, again a knock on your office door. You tilted your head and ask who's knocking on the door and disturb you, Frank voice was heard outside the door and told you to get ready.

"It's time is it?" you asked Frank flatly. He answered with a yes and told you to gear up into your 'fancy' outfits of a standard Nine Tailed Fox equipment. You frowned as you hear it, "Wait... Nine Tailed Fox standard equipment? Frank there is no Containment Breach, I'm not allowed to-"

"Just shut up and gear up already, I'll take responsibilities. For now just gear up and be ready to follow."

You hold your grudge and geared up with standard Nine Tailed Fox outfits, picking up your gas mask and Kevlar Vest to put them on, you picked your deagle, checked its ammo and pull the barrel and then strap it into your side. You grabbed your P90, even though not part of the new Security protocol, it's the only gun you had in your possession.

You step out of your office, locked the door, and then you heard Frank burst out laughing. You turned to him and you saw him already laying on the floor, laughing. You glared at Frank,

"What!? You told me to equip myself as NTF standard gear, so i did." you said in utter confusion.

Frank, still on the floor laughing eventually stood up back to his feet while chuckling and wiping out his tear. "I didn't really expect you to geared up like that. I was just joking on the Nine Tailed Fox equipment part."

Before you could scold him or punch him straight in the face, he told you it won't matter now because were wasting time here and trotted away. You grunted behind your gas mask as you followed him through the hallway, trotting slowly to the Heavy Containment Zone checkpoint, then finding your way across Heavy Containment and into Light Containment Zone and goes to SCP One-Seven-Three containment chamber.

There is no way, not a single chance to be another Containment Breach. What could possibly go wrong?
