Chapter 4 - First test as a monster

When I awoke, I had realized something: the items I got when I gained them fell on the floor for the entire world to see, and with the position I'm in right now, it may make my case worse, and I may have to explain what I can do better.

Before I could fully recover from this realization the doctor from Before appeared as I still hadn't had a name to put with a face.

She was looking at her clipboard as she was walking, and went to say something, but paused when she saw the items around me.

"Is this an aspect of your...ability?" she said trying to just concentrate on the matter at hand

"Somewhat? Look it's complicated and I don't fully understand what this is and how it works so I can't help much" I said as I was speaking from the Heart My best bet is probably to tell them it's random and they think I'm a monster instead of dying to another monster in this place.

"Ok well today you're moving to your permanent residence as of today and after you settle we will send in a D-class and some items you will test with For your items from your ability we will send a guard for it and will study before returning it to you if decided it's not dangerous." She said slightly but was still noticeably out of breath.

She took a breath and continued, "We will ask more questions about your ability before the test to see if you have any other info," she said, notably more interested than when he was a lamb for slaughter.

"If you will follow me," she said as she began to walk.

She was slightly faster so I had to jog to catch up.

Notably, there were no guards this time, but the unease they gave off didn't leave, seeing as there were guards everywhere.

We stopped at an office-like area where there was a slot through a window like a bank but it was rectangular.

"SCP 8483," she said, to which an old-sounding lady responded.

"ID or clothing," she asked with a voice that sounded oddly like that one old lady from Monsters Inc.

"Both," she said, passing her research ID to confirm her as a person of interest.

"Don't get much new humanoid looking ones now days" she joked her laugh sounding like claws and a chalk bord had a baby and called it a b*tch

She passed her a bundle of Grey clothes with an ID on top, which had a picture of me and a number, it was SCP-8483.

'Huh, guess I'm a monster too now,' I joked, thinking about the immortal lizard.

My thoughts were cut off as she continued walking at a fast pace which made me think What is the rush.

I followed as we finally got to a room. Not yet labeled but that will probably change soon.

"This is your room," she said as we walked into a conference room area with a table, which was divided into 2 parts by a glass.

"Well, not here, the next room over," she said as I noticed a door on the other side of the glass.

She swiped her card on some type of reader which opened up the glass so we could walk through.

"Ok, we will send in a person to ask questions before we begin the test. I have been told that it will be a researcher," she said.

She then handed me the clothes and explained the ID.

"This ID is for people not to see you as a D-class that escaped but a studied and potentially useful SCP. "She said, making me understand what it was for, as he had not seen in any fic or series

"Ok? Um, do I just change in front of you or what, cuz I'm not really comfortable doing that? Um, what's your name?" I said, trying to find out her name, as he might need to know it since she is probably going to oversee him from now on.

"Not in front of me, and my name is Dr. Symtry but check out your new room, first let's give you the run down," she said as we finally entered the room, which somewhat surprised me.

The room was somewhat large, the same size as an apartment, but in an open layout as if there were hallways which could cause blind spots.

"Here is your bookshelf," she said as we were going through the room

"Here is your bed which is an upgrade with pillows," she said jokingly as we both knew the cell just had stone slabs they called a bed.

Then we went to the corner where a glass shower was placed.

"Don't worry, it's slightly tinted so we can see what you're doing, but you still get some privacy," she said, which didn't give me the best vibe.

"You can make a request and it may or may not get approved by the higher-ups If they due we will tell you," she said finally

She then left so I started to change clothes.

The new set I had was Grey with a black lining on the wrist and on the U-neck.

As I finished I got a new notification.

"*sigh* I guess I don't have a choice." In the next few seconds, I heard a speaker coming from an unknown area.

"Brian, would you please step into the next room?" they rang out and then cut off.

I entered the room and sat at the table which was also divided by glass.

A man in a lab coat came in with a small stack of note cards.

"Hello, you can call me Samuel," Samuel said with a respectful tone, presumably to prevent my anger, as some SCPs are aggressive in nature.

"Ok Samuel what is the first question" he asked

"Do you know when your ability will activate?" he asked going straight into the questions.

"Somewhat as I know when it might happen, but it's more of a feeling," I said, giving some of the truth while hiding the system.

"Ok, how about do you know what you will get" he asked.

"Yes but only when it is gained I instinctively know what it is" I lied cooly

"Ok, can you tell me what happened with items from earlier?" he asked, sounding intrigued.

"Well I felt my ability activate then these items appeared and I knew what they were in some way," I said

"And what did you get from your ability" he asked.

"It said something about an artificer from something called 5e, whatever that means," I said, faking innocence.

"Ok, that's it for me today. A D-class will enter shortly with your items and some other stuff to test your size ability," he said as the thread between them showed something akin to gratitude.

**quest complete**🎉

I then fell out of the chair in pain as I felt something form in my mind.

I screamed out in pain.

Symtry's POV

Samuel walked out after finishing the questions and clarifying our theories.

Our theory on him inherently understands a little about when and what his ability tells him when it happens.

Right before I was about to disengage the built-in recorder attached to the bottom of the table in the questioning room, Brian collapsed and screamed bloody murder.

"GET THE PARAMEDICS" I shouted as he might be hurt.

*20 minutes later*

Beap beap beap

The Heart monitor beat slowly, indicating his living status.

A doctor was scanning his brain and that seemed to be the origin of the pain.

"That's odd, there are 3 new brain waves that are not the same as his original one," the doctor said, intrigued as to how it happened.

"So you're saying his ability gave him multiple personality disorder?" Symtry said, annoyed as this made her cancel the test, but also a hint of worry as he was her ticket to being head researcher, as her dreams depended on his being a success in her research.

"Another peculiar thing is that his body seems to be in a constant state of regeneration, causing him to be theoretically invulnerable to attacks," he said, but wasn't done.

"Are there any anomalies we can recognize like a source of power?" I asked as I wanted to know if it could be neutralized.

"It seems to be another space-related ability as he shows similar radiation to other space SCPs we know of," he said, finishing off what he was saying.

"Ok, just monitor him until he wakes up and make sure he remains in a stable condition," I said, finally ending the conversation as I walked out and went to my office, where I looked at the recording to find any indications before he collapsed that it would happen.
