Pandora's Box (IC)

[Grovygrunge]

The Good Doctor returned to his seat and payed close attention. He didn't even tap the plastic edges of the chair, he was completely focused on listening to the recording. After it finished he started to tap a finger against his beak. "Most interesting. So we don't even know what this thing looks like then? Just that it's roar sounds like wind going through a tunnel? We don't have much to work with."

[HollowOfHaze]

"No, no questions at all." responded Galen.

"Well, except one. When do we start?"

[Alistair]

SCP-7296 chuckled at the rather unfortunate incident that happened to the wolf, keeping his chuckle below earshot volume. It almost made him sound directly responsible for what happened, but that couldn't possibly be since he had been here at the foundation. Once he had caught sight of Setcho he emitted a friendly groan, the felid wished to work with the lion; And seemingly so that the massive feline would only work with Setcho.


After the briefing he appeared anxious and zealous to get to the mission as soon as possible.

[Setcho]

Setcho had seen many cases like this and the raccoon was right this was light work, it should be a breeze for them. The audio clip didn't effect him in anyway, the crying just seemed to go in one ear and out the other, with the same blank expression all the way through. Setcho turned to face SCP-7296 nodding slightly at the groan, however he did not choose favourites; this was his job and kept everything strictly professional. He adjusted his tie and places his sunglasses on his face, pushing them up with one finger, waiting for the racoon's signal to leaves.

Nicholas and Roman quieted down when the slide show began, the smiles on their faces dissappearing and thier features turning solumn and focused. After the show ended they stayed silent, both deep in thought. Finally, Nicholas spoke up. "Just a recon mission with unknown enomily?" "One that stole five people?" Roman followed up. "With new SCPs on team?" Nick said. The brothers looked at each other and smiled, saying in unison. "Peice of cake."

The racoon grins. "We leave in 10 minutes you will go in three unmarked vans. One is specially built for SCP_7296, a normal Van would collapse under your weight." The Racoon looks over to Alistair. then looks back to the rest of the group.

"Remember, minimize contact with the public. Do not be afraid to use amnesiacs to keep the SCPs undercover." The Racoon smiles pleasantly "Well. Looks like meeting is over. I will see you outside in about 600 seconds."

The Racoon turns off the projector, turns on the lights, and gets up to leave the room. He was heading straight for the van, the sooner this job was done the better.

[HollowOfHaze]

"And so we begin." said Galen, rising from the office chair to walk towards the armory. Upon arrival, he donned the reflectionless black plates of his armor, testing its fit with a shrug and a momentary flash of wings. He continued on to carry his M14 over his shoulder with a sling, as well as his medkits and bandolier. With a smooth jog towards the designated garage, he waited, checking his gear once again for any marks or wear.

[Grovygrunge]

The Good Doctor rose from his seat and stretched his arms. The slight squeaking of his plague uniform was barely audible as he did so. He slowly paced his way to the garage, humming merrily to himself as he walked.

[Alistair]

The saber gave an audible growl at the raccoon, making sure to snort in his direction when he commented on the felid's weight. Plodding from the room, Alistair briskly moved past everyone else. Still growling as he tread down the hall, moving in that specific cat-like gait that meant he was frustrated; and possibly angry.


Alistair saw the van that waited for him, snarling at the handlers that were being a bit rough with him. He could get into the van on his own, it would just take a bit of time and effort; and it would go much faster without their prodding, grabbing, and jabbing.

[Setcho]

Vulki was already at the van, holding the door open for the SCP's looking slightly nervous. She was wearing a long white lab coat that reached down to her feet, slightly blowing in the wind. A pair googles hung from her neck that had been taped together multiple times and a watch hung from her top pocket.

Setcho decided to follow SCP-7296 into the van, giving Vulki a quick nod as he stepped in behind the saber. He closed the doors behind him tapping the side of the van to let the driver know they were ready to go.

[The Past]

Ninna eagerly followed the Good Doctor to the garage. She was going to help people and explore a new location today, and with that, she will do good and gain more experience with her life. This made her happy. If only she remembered more of her past, aside from the scary bits; it was a lot of experience lost. But that was okay. The experience of now was more important.

[Jacob Hail]

Nicholas and Roman also headed to the armory to collect their weapons before walking out to the vans, both getting in behind Ninna and the Good Doctor. They choose the back seat to reside, each looking over their gear to make sure everything was there before Toman looked up to the SPCs. "Alright, here is deal. Part of reason we are here to to make sure you all stay on our side. Make sure you dont run off." "You make our job easy we give you part of paycheck ya?" Nick finished, causing both twins to break into laughter.

[Angder]

As soon as all the SCPs were aboard, and the agents were ready, the two vans set off. The journey was long, and it might be interesting to note that while the SCPs knew where they were going, they did not know where they were coming from. The location of the base was a mystery even to those inside.


A few hours later, the vans arrive, the small village of Torholz is close by, but the vans stop before then. Going off-road into a small wooded section of forest so that they can park without being noticed.

The drivers stop the engines, and leave the van opening the backs of them. "We're here." One of them says "With luck our agent on site should be here soonish."

The area is fairly muddy, its obviously been raining recently. Though now it is a fairly pleasant day. The area itself is fairly hilly, but not mountainous. It is fairly obvious why this general area would, under normal circumstances, be a pleasant camping ground.

[HollowOfHaze]

Stepping out of the van to set his boots down in the soggy grass, Galen looked out onto the landscape, the curved slopes of the hills perfectly completing the scenery. Despite his state of peace as he inhaled the cool countryside air, he knew there was a job to perform. Patting his armor and holster to check that everything was in order, he unslung his M14, chambering a round with the clean snap of the rifle's bolt assembly. He waited for further confirmation by the others present.

[Grovygrunge]

The Good Doctor had been staring at Vulki the whole time during the drive to the destination, he had even let out a couple irritated groans. He stepped out of the van after Galen, noting the sound of the soggy grass beneath his feet. It was a sound he had missed whilst in containment, it was so pleasant. That was the other bonus of this arrangement, he was able to enjoy things he had missed with a new sense of appreciation and gratitude.
