The Foundation

A Discussion.

Twilight later found out that D-193 had severe anxiety problems. That explained why she had begun crying.

Twilight decided to actually speak with this pony. Sure it would be dangerous, but she was curious.

She asked Rainbow to come into the room with her, and another guard to stay at the door on the outside.

SCP-049 relaxed in the corner. He seemed to acknowledge their presence, and just stared at them.

"This guy's creepy, Twi. Let's just get outta here." Rainbow whispered in Twilight's ear. "No." Twilight whispered back. "I'm going to try to talk to him." Rainbow looked shocked. She muttered something, but stayed behind Twilight.

"Greetings." he said in his strange voice.

"Hello, 049." Twilight said calmly. She got a little closer.

"I do not sense the disease in you," he said, this time was his turn to get a little closer. "So I believe you are...a doctor?"

"Um, yes. A new one in fact. My name's Twilight. And this is Rainbow." Rainbow nervously smiled behind Twilight.

"Oh no." 049 said, shaking his head. "You must be a new doctor. You could not even recognize a victim of the disease."

"A...victim?" Twilight asked.

"Yes. The one behind you."

Dash's eyes went wide. She started to back away.

"I can assure you, she is not a victim."

"I know my victims, and she is a victim."

"She is...uh...in study."

049 paused.

"In study?"

"Yes."

"So you are also finding a cure for the disease."

"...Yes, we are."

"....I...do not understand. Why do you need a patient of the disease to help cure the disease?"

"So we can evaluate what...problems...the victim has, and then research into a cure."

049 went silent.

"You are a clever doctor."

"Thank you."

"This disease...so many victims...three came in not too long ago."

Twilight stayed silent.

"Perhaps I look...intimidating." he stated.

"Ya think?" Rainbow said in the back. Twilight nudged her in the elbow.

049 stared. "You and this...victim...are friends?"

"We have known each other for a while."

"Well, you better research. The disease is unforgiving."

"We are working hard." Twilight assured him.

"Hurry."

049 stayed silent. This probably hinted that it was time for them to leave.

They eventually left, and Twilight filed an interview report to show her brother.
