//------------------------------// // Cup 'o' Joe? // Story: The Foundation // by Solar Caesar //------------------------------// They headed into the cafeteria. Surprisingly, there were many Class-D's. She saw a security guard yelling at a Class-D. The guard pointed his gun at him. He said something to him, and the Class-D got on the ground and put his hands out to his sides. Other Class-D's just watched in silence. "So, this SCP is a euclid SCP. But it's fairly easy to be safe." "Um...where is it?" Twilight said, looking around. "Right there." Shining pointed to a machine at the corner of the room. Two signs were beside it. Sign number 1: "Only personnel of level 2 clearance or higher are authorized to request items from SCP-294. Requesting anything other than pony-consumable beverages are strictly forbidden." Sign number 2: SCP-294 Object Class: Euclid Nonstandard Spacetime "This is actually my favorite one." Shining said. "Why?" Twilight asked her brother. "Well, it dispenses anything that exists or can exist in liquid form" he told her. "Really? Hmm..." Twilight walked over to the machine. She typed in, "Tea" and placed a Styrofoam cup under the dispenser. Shortly, a liquid poured out of the dispenser. Twilight put the cup to her lips and began to drink. "It tastes just like tea!" she exclaimed. What else could she do? "You. Come here for a moment." she pointed towards a Class-D. The Class-D was a changeling. He looked mid to late 20's. "Type something into this. Anything you want." she told him. "Twilight..." Shining warned. The Class-D typed in "Coke", and put the cup under. The drink came out. "Sweet." the Class-D said. He drank it. "Tastes the same as ordinary coke. Definitely not diet. Can I keep it?" "Sure." Twilight told him. "But maybe you can help me with something else." "Okay. Thank's doc." The Class-D walked away and sat down at a table. "What test are you going to do?" Shining asked. "I don't know yet. What do you recommend?" "I recommend 008." "Okay. What is-" "You'll find out." Shining motioned for the Class-D to come. He complied. "What's your designation?" he asked the D. He looked at his arm. "Uh..." he said, trying to position his arm to see it clearly. "It's...D-9341."
