//------------------------------// // 4. An Offer // Story: SCP: Containment Breach // by IamRainbowDash //------------------------------// AN OFFER Twilight walks down another hallway, leading to a three-way catwalk. Not gas spewed out, neither SCP-173 appeared. She took the first one on the left. It lead to a big containment chamber. She went down the stair case and saw a document. It said: SCP Secure Contain Protect Item: SCP-682 Object Class: Keter Special Containment Procedures: SCP-682 must be destroyed as soon as possible. At this time, no means available to SCP teams are capable of destroying SCP-682, only able to cause massive physical damage. SCP-682 should be contained within a 5 m x 5 m x 5 m chamber with 25.4 cm reinforced acid-resistant steel plate lining all inside surfaces. The containment chamber should be filled with hydrochloric acid until SCP-682 is submerged and incapacitated. Any attempts of SCP-682 to move, speak, or breach containment should be reacted to quickly and with full force as called for by the circumstances. Personnel are forbidden to speak to SCP-682, for fear of provoking a rage-state. All unauthorized personnel attempting to communicate to SCP-682 will be restrained and removed by force. Due to its frequent attempts at containment breach, difficulty of containment and incapacitation, and high threat of Foundation Exposure, SCP-682 is to be contained in site [REDACTED]. The Foundation will use the best of its resources to maintain all land within fifty (50) kilometers clear of human development. Description: SCP-682 is a large, vaguely reptile-like creature of unknown origin. It appears to be extremely intelligent, and was observed to engage in complex communication with SCP-079 during their limited time of exposure. SCP-682 appears to have a hatred of all life, which has been expressed in several interviews during containment. (See Addendum 682-B). SCP-682 has always been observed to have extremely high strength, speed, and reflexes, though exact levels vary with its form. SCP-682's physical body grows and changes very quickly, growing or decreasing in size at it consumes or sheds material. SCP-682 gains energy from anything it ingests, organic or inorganic. Digestion seems to be aided by a set of filtering gills inside of SCP-682's nostrils, which are able to remove usable matter from any liquid solution, enabling it to constantly regenerate from the acid it is contained in. SCP-682's regenerative capabilities and resilience are staggering, and SCP-682 has been seen moving and speaking with its body 87% destroyed or rotted. In case of containment breach, SCP-682 is to be tracked and re-captured by all available Mobile Task Forces, and no teams with fewer than seven (7) members are cleared to engage it. To date (██-██-████), attempted breaches have numbered at seventeen (17), while successful breaches have numbered at six (6). (See Addendum 682-D). But after Twilight read it, a deep voice said in the intercom: "You're....not getting out.". Suddenly, gas spewed out of ceiling, covering the entire area. She takes out her gas mask and reaches the staircase. She climbed up and then reached the catwalk. She took the second one, leading to a maintenance tunnel, and headed for a room where there were 2 ways: One leading to a containment chamber, and one leading to another hallway. She chooses the Containment Chamber, with the sign saying: SCP-895 Object Class: Euclid She enters the containment door, and sees a camera watching over SCP-895. After a while (apprx. 2 minutes), Twilight hallucinates, and begins to see disturbing pictures on the screen. She ran out of the room before something happened. She ran to the hallway, seeing the same room she passed shortly after the breach (see Chapter 1). She just took the batteries and moved on, the door leads to the hallway and sees a coded door and remembers the code she saw in the pocket dimension. She types in the code and enters, grabbing a blue key. She exits the door, and sees a locked door that needs a key. The blue key she found, fitted inside and the door was unlocked. When Twilight open the door, it didn't lead to the door's original location. Instead, it lead into a forest with blue mist. Twilight crosses the forest, hearing roars and weird noises. She then has to choose a path: Either turn left, or get to the cobblestone path. She decided to turn left. And another door was there. She unlocked it and it lead to it's original location, a featureless hallway. "Wow, this facility is full of fucking puzzles." Twilight said. She then reaches a small electrical center, where she sees SCP-173 hugging the window. Twilight said: "Some ponies say you look cute, but I don't.", and closes the door on SCP-173. She proceeds to a containment chamber, with two containment doors. She took a keycard from the office earlier, it was Level 5. She then opens the two containment chambers, seeing a caged computer. The computer said to her: "Look, you pony, you need my help, I need your help. You turned off the door control system on the electrical center. If you can turn it on, I'll lead you to your escape.". Twilight replied: "I could trust you, but turning it on will let the other SCPs escape. What are the facts?". Twilight added: "Fine, I'll accept your offer. As long as I fucking get out of this hell.". The computer said: "I will hold my side of the deal.". Twilight teleports to the electrical center and turns on the door control. She then teleports back to the chamber. The computer said to her: "The doors to Gate B are now open. Thank you.". Twilight replied: "Thanks, I could finally get out of this shithole.". Then Twilight rushes into a door, leading to Gate B. MTF units bust through the door behind. Twilight exclaims: "SHIT!". Twilight runs to the elevator and goes down.
