While Allan is giving Goerge amnesiacs and George puts more handcuffs on Satan, Kyle punches Nolan in the stomach, causing Nolan to stumble back and groan in pain. However, instead of fighting back, Nolan realizes that there are more important things to be done, and helps Billy Joe stabilize Satan. After that’s done, Bruce carries Satan out to the van and sticks him in the holding cell on board. Clair is also put into the van, though much more gently.
((for the sake of time and fun, I’m going to skip the exploration of the rest of this house, as the feeling of dread you felt from this place is centering more around the van, and it’s not your job to examine every last detail.))
You get back to base quickly, and a number of Agents and researchers are there to transport the newly captured SCP to temporary containment. You are then escorted to a room where you are told to sit down. Soon, Dr. Smith enters, looking slightly less uninterested in you than last time. It takes most of you a few seconds to realize that he sent you on your mission earlier that day, it feels like a lifetime ago.
”So all but one made it back, ” says Dr. Smith, ” you may be more skilled than I thought. We are going to begin analyzing the SCP you just captured immediately, as well as the house where he lived.
“you will be given, starting now, one week to recover, but don’t think that this week will be completely restful, you will all be asked to recount what happened during the containment of the new SCP, and also be offered two specialized training courses based on how you performed during the mission. These training courses are difficult, but are meant to help you master something that you seem to be skilled at. At the end of this week, you will be given a new and likely deadly mission as well as more agents to bring your team back to a functional size.”
He pauses for a minute, smirks for a moment, and says “I hope you liked that recital. Honestly I don’t care what you’re up to this next week, as long as you keep away from me and let me do some research!”
With that, he walks out of the room and slams the door behind him, leaving you all sitting there, still a bit dazed from today’s events. It isn’t long before other, younger researchers take you out one at a time to hear you recount what happened. Afterwards, you are each given the following choices for training:
((Training gives a plus one in certain conditions, if the conditions are not obvious, they will be in parenthesis. Certain training may not exactly follow this pattern, in which case a more exact description will be in parenthesis.))
