Pandora's Box (IC)

[Alistair]

Within seconds of being outside the van the felid looked around, his urge to run and be apart of the wilderness once more was calling out to him. Alistair made an audible groan, treading around the general area; but not going out of sight as he ignored the others. Sitting down after looking at the general area he gave a huff, staring off into the distance he could hear all the sounds of the forest.

[Setcho]

Setcho stepped out as well keeping his sun glasses secured on his muzzle, trudging in the grass making large squelching noises. He looked at the SCP's with the same blank expression keeping calm, and with a deep soothing voice he said "We're here to do a job, anyone caught sneaking off will be punished severely. Our mission are is just head lets get going" He folded his arms and waited for them to start walking, feeling the sweat drip of the palms of his paws.

Vulki came out of the van last, looking slightly disgruntled as she had a discomforting journey there. She walked up to Setcho's side, fiddling with her goggles as they swung, whispering to him "so far so good, lets hope it stays that way". About to start walking with the rest.

Cradling his rifle in his arms, Galen looked back at the operative he'd heard speaking.
"I'll be doing the punishing, mind you."
He took a moment to unholster his 1911, racking the slide before stowing the sidearm once more.
As the pistol locked into place, he used the time to shift to a wingless midform, tendrils of bright fog emanating from the bronze medallion hanging from his neck to convert his human figure. Instantly his other senses improved, the shifting of the grasses in the breeze sounded closer, the smell of rain became stronger.


"Who's you friend?" he asked the lion.
"Didn't know she'd be joining us."

[The Past]

Ninna cooed as the wet grass licked her feet. The sensation was cold and strange, but still pleasant. Rain fell here, and rain was drops of sky water. It was one of water's beautiful forms, and its beauty spreads to all it touches.
She stuck by Galen, but constantly gazed around in awe at the trees, breathing lungfuls of the refreshing air.

[Jacob Hail]

Nicholas and Roman were, surprisingly, mostly quiet on the way there. They were getting into work mode, joking and messing around being put aside to concentrate on the mission at hand. When they arrived at the site, Nicholas was out before Roman looking over to Galen and Setcho. "Relax, both of you. When and if that time comes we will deal with it, together." Roman stood beside him, looking down at the soft ground underneath his boots. "Yeah, but hopefully that time dosent come eh?"

[Angder]

After a short period, someone who seemed to be a member of the German police approaches, a tabby cat, fairly tall, he smiles as he sees the group, and the van driver looks over to him. Obviously this had been who they were waiting for, as there is no attempt to reach for their weaponry.

He turns to the team itself. "I hope I have not kept you waiting, we have just established a perimeter, and organized when you can enter the area." He passes a set of maps out to the non-SCP team, I have marked the security perimeter, and where the event happened according to what we can work out. My recommendation is to head straight there and only spread out if you can't find anything. I can monitor things from outside, I might even be able to send in some policemen if needed."

"Oh... forgive me, I am Agent Ziegler" The cat states. "I am the person who reported what happened here, feels good to finally be needed." He grins. "If you meet anyone else in there, send them to the perimeter, we will want to get what they have to say before administering amnesiacs."

...He looks at the group, looking slightly uncomfortably at the SCP side of the team. "Well... when your ready... erm... your here so go in that direction, and then follow the path south." He points into the woods. "Go slowly, and keep your eyes open."

[Setcho]

Setcho ignored anything said to him, he wanted to make little interaction with the SCP's as possible. As he approached the perimeter entrance, he took off his glasses and unbuttoned his gun holster resting a paw on it. He walked up to the tabby cat, listening for what he had to say paying close attention to him. "we'll take it from here, nice job on securing the place up. *whispering* If anyone one of these comes back with out me, close the entrance...." He marches on, breathing lightly as his heart race quickened slightly.

Vulki followed setcho, her lab coat trailed in the mud creating stains at the bottom. She looked at the perimeter shaking her head, sighing "You know this wont hold anything back......we best be lucky nothing comes back."

[Grovygrunge]

The Good Doctor stared at the tabby as he spoke, paying close attention to what was being said before nodding once he had finished speaking. He stayed close to Vulki, well aware he was not meant to stray out of the sight of the agents. He glared at her again and grunted in annoyance. "I am so very jealous of you. I've always wanted to wear one of those, since I first laid eyes on one." He was referring to the lab coat.

[The Past]

Ninna cocked her head and frowned as she looked at the cat. He was afraid of her, it seemed. If only she could let him know she wasn't a monster...
She continued on with the group, still following the footsteps of Galen. She felt safest around him.

[Alistair]

Looking over to the tabby cat, the saber looked uneasy. He knew he had a rather vocal nature with other cats, but would his bellows be acceptable at this point in time? Snorting, Alistair decided to trudge over and say hello with an all familiar tiger sound; the chuff. The large felid looked a bit more uncomfortable than the tabby did, since he was a solitary animal, and working in groups wasn't something he was exactly thrilled about.

[HollowOfHaze]

Listening to Agent Ziegler's wrods of caution, Galen gave a curt nod.
"Thanks for the heads-up. We'll make sure to stay alert."


Looking back at the patchwork team assembled around him, he added "Let's keep moving."


He took the time to look back at the other lion and his... acquaintance. He still had no idea why the female agent had been included. She was not part of the briefing.

[Jacob Hail]

Nicholas and Roman listened to the officer before accepting the maps and opening them up, mumbling to wach other in Russian before both walking up along Setcho, putting him between them. "We have agreed that middle is good place to start." Nicholas said, pointing to the middle of the police perimeter. "And if we dont find anything there, then proceed north and make our way around. What do you think?" Roman finished.

[Angder]

The forest is... quiet... its even more obvious as the group gets moving, there are few birds... and very few animals or insects... the plants seem fairly healthy, which is surprising given the previous 2 points. The place feels still... Those out in the open (not under a tree) feels a small amount of water land on their heads, it was not really raining, not yet.

[Grovygrunge]

The Good Doctor had noticed the lack of insects and animals. It was quite peculiar. Even more peculiar though was that the plants seemed perfectly healthy. He crouched down to a flower, just under the shade of a tree. "It seems to be perfectly fine." He mused to himself aloud. "And there are plenty of others about. This leaves us with two options from my point of view. Option one: The disappearance of animals and insects is very recent. Option two: Whatever we are looking for sustains plant life. It will be interesting to see which of these turns out to be the truth, if either of them." He slowly stood up and realised he had fallen behind slightly whilst checking the flower.

[Alistair]

Following closely with the group the saber noticed the good doctor looking at a flower, shuffling over the felid bowed his head and ate the flower in one fell swoop. Chewing it with a bit of thought as he took in his surroundings, watching the tree branches slowly sway with the wind. Alistair started to feel in-tune with nature again, clenching his paws a bit at the damp ground beneath him as his ears faced forward.
