At the end, her tone changed from sharp to dull:
"In the Foundation, you might stay here forever, being worn out in the lab until the sun goes out, or... you lose your life."
Ignoring Zyn, who was already sobbing, the doctor walked away with a cold face, muttering softly:
"I hope you're the former."
Snap!
Zyn wiped her tears and walked out of the office, and happened to meet Leon Lake at the door, hurriedly turning her head away.
"You have applied to participate in the research of 408 again," Leon Lake's words were a declarative sentence.
Obviously, this is not the first time Zyn has done this.
Zyn nodded, still tilting her head and whispering: "They excluded me from the list because I lacked the necessary experience, and told me not to apply again in the near future."
Leon Lake didn't say anything, but Zyn had already adjusted herself.
"No matter what, I will succeed!"
Having said that, she left with high morale.
The audience in the live broadcast room all smiled knowingly when they saw this scene.
They may not know why Zyn has such a special liking for SCP-408, but her unyielding temperament still touched everyone.
Snap!
The door opened and Leon Lake came to Dr. Kondraki's office.
"Ah? It's over?" Dr. Kondraki was still fiddling with his camera and said without turning his head: "Put the mission report on the filing cabinet over there."
"Don't you need to check?"
"Check? There's no need for that. Everyone knows that 343 won't hurt anyone. Otherwise, with his ability, he would have been assigned to Keter long ago. No, it should be Apollyon."
Dr. Kondraki turned around and said with a smile: "Why, is there something abnormal?"
Leon Lake was silent for a second and shook his head.
"That's it."
Leon Lake placed the task report on the cabinet as required, but his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the files placed on the cabinet.
The first of them is SCP-408, which Zyn has been thinking about so much.
Dr. Kondraki glanced at Leon Lake and said, "What? Interested? You can open it and take a look. You have the clearance."
Hearing this, Leon immediately opened the file.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also looking forward to it.
They had long been very curious about the containment that Zyn cared so much about.
[Project Name: Phantom Butterfly]
[Item No.: SCP-408]
[Object Class: Safe]
[Special Containment Procedures: SCP-408's nest must be properly kept by Level 2 personnel with a background in biology or lepidoptera.
Proper humidity must be maintained and recorded once a day and backed up to Site-17. 200 feed troughs should be kept supplied with a sugar solution and refilled once a week.]
[Description: SCP-408 appears as a large group of Lepidoptera, zebra butterflies when not in disguise. SCP-408 appears as a single entity at all times, presumably a form of hive mind communication between the group.]
[---]
Leon Lake quickly read through 408's file.
A simple summary is a group of intelligent butterflies, and the ability is to create illusions.
Judging from the ability alone, 408 does not seem to be very powerful among the other contained creatures, but what really surprised the audience in the live broadcast room was that
SCP-408 actually obeys Dr. Kondraki's orders!
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Seeing this, many images suddenly emerged in Nick Fury's mind.
For example, SCP-500 was previously used to contain 682076-2, and was able to extract the flesh and bones of Deadman.
All these events provided him with a new idea——
Containment does not necessarily only bring disaster and death,
If used properly, the containment objects can even be used to help the Foundation contain anomalies!
Thinking of this, Nick Fury couldn't help but spread his thoughts -
The Foundation, will there be an organization composed of containment objects?
Thinking of this, even he, who was usually calm, couldn't keep his composure any more.
Restraining his inner excitement, he looked at the screen again.
"Why, are you interested in these little guys?" Dr. Kondraki asked.
"No, it's Zyn who's interested in them."
"Zyn? Oh, that hardworking little girl." Dr. Kondraki suddenly realized, and then said with regret:
"Unfortunately, she lacks similar experience."
Leon Lake didn't make a sound.
His sliding eyes accidentally swept across another file.
[Project Name: Bigfoot]
Leon Lake couldn't help but pick up the file and asked, "Can I see this?"
"You need Level 3 clearance to look at that." Dr. Kondraki paused. "But you did me a favor, so, look at it. Just don't take it, kid."
Dr. Kondraki's generosity surprised both Leon Lake and the audience in the live broadcast room.
However, when everyone thought of this guy's previous behavior, it suddenly seemed normal again.
Then everyone focused their attention on this new document.
Bigfoot?
The name doesn't sound scary!
[Item No.: SCP-1000]
[Object Class: Keter]
When the word Keter appeared in everyone's field of vision, the audience who had previously thought that this thing was not dangerous were stunned.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Damn it, a Keter-level containment object can be found by just pulling it out?" Natasha Romanoff said with regret: "Is this the daily routine of the doctors?"
Nick Fury also frowned.
As of now, three containment levels have emerged.
Safe, Euclid, and the memorable Keter!
Among them, 343 and 408 belong to Safe, 096 and 173 belong to Euclid, and 682, 1730, and 1983 belong to Keter.
It can be said that
In the Keter level, almost every one of them is capable of bringing extremely terrible disasters.
Therefore, Keter-level containment is considered by everyone to be the most dangerous containment.
Everyone thought that Keter-level containment objects were so terrifying that they must be extremely rare in the Foundation.
Unexpectedly, Leon Lake made a discovery...
Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?
Nick Fury suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and continued reading.
[Special Containment Procedures: All media reports on SCP-1000 are subject to review.]
[All organizations and individuals investigating the existence of SCP-1000 must be under the surveillance of MTF ZETA-1000 and eliminated or given Class A amnesiacs.
All physical remains are to be recovered, stored at the Foundation, and replaced with fakes if necessary.]
[All claimed sightings of SCP-1000 are to be investigated by MTF ZETA-1000, even if the sightings are trivial.]
[Any contact with wild or captive instances of SCP-1000 must be approved by Director Jones. Any contact between SCP-1000 and humans, including Foundation personnel, must be reported to Director Jones immediately.]
Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room was stunned.
All kinds of sounds suddenly exploded.
"What? If you investigate this, your memory will be wiped out or even killed?"
"Damn, this thing is so scary? Is it a memetic infection?"
"Even trivial witnesses are not allowed. Wow, this guy is something!"
Stark Industries Building.
There is a new black person in Tony's studio.
"Colonel Rhodes, what do you think?" Tony leaned back in his office chair and asked casually, "Memetic infection, information hazard model?"
Generally, when you understand or perceive a meme, its anomalous properties will manifest:
It will go crazy and drill into your brain.
It is indoctrination-like and you cannot help but accept this idea.
For example, the corpse embedded in the wall has a memetic property that can make people who observe it think it is still alive, so anyone who sees it will really think it is still alive.
Rose and Jack even had a one-sided conversation with it.
And 'it's still alive' is the cognitive hazard of this anomaly, and what prompts everyone to accept this idea is called a meme.
It is a medium for spreading cognitive hazards, and the medium for spreading it is various narrative methods that can narrate food!
That's why people make such speculations.
"F!"
Colonel Rhodes frowned, staring at the words "wild or captive," and said uncertainly:
"It looks more like a creature that cannot be exposed and must be kept absolutely secret."
Tony was puzzled: "But if it is a living thing, why can't it be exposed?"
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury looked calm, but he was muttering to himself.
Because he felt a familiar taste from this unique containment measure.
That's covering up information!
This is almost S.H.I.E.L.D.'s usual method.
Especially when it involves some fatal information and affairs!
Future Technology Building.
After a period of calm, Peter Parker has calmed down a lot.
He glanced at the screen, then looked at Leon Lake: "Leon, Bigfoot is so mysterious, what are they? Have you seen them?"
Hearing this, Leon Lake nodded, shook his head, and then sighed:
"They are a poor...unlucky race."
[Description: SCP-1000 is classified as a member of the Hominin family, on par with the human and chimpanzee genera, is nocturnal, and is omnivorous.]
[Adult individuals are 1.5-3 meters tall and weigh 90-270 kilograms.
They have gray, brown, black, red, and a few have white fur.
They have large eyes and good vision, prominent brow bones, and a sagittal ridge on their foreheads similar to that of gorillas.
The shape of the sagittal ridge appears in both sexes.
Their intelligence level is equivalent to that of primates.]
Seeing this, the audience, who had just been full of excitement and making all kinds of guesses, were suddenly stunned.
I took off my pants and just read?
[SCP-1000 evolved simultaneously with primitive humans until 10,000-15,000 years ago, when a mass extinction event reduced its population to 1-5% of its original size.]
[This extinction event was caused by a "pseudo-disease" infected by SCP-1000, which is numbered SCP-1000-f1.]
[This disease is spread at the genetic level and affects every SCP-1000 instance in existence. The vast majority of SCP-1000 instances are naturally immune to this disease, and those without immunity will die soon after birth.]
Seeing this, I feel a little bit 'cheated.'
The audience couldn't help themselves.
"WTF? That's what Bigfoot is?"
"If that's the case, then our world is full of Bigfoots? Oh, not only that, we also have baboons, monkeys, and other small-footed monsters!"
"What is this? Rise of the Planet of the Apes? I even think SCP-1000-f1 is a bigger threat than Bigfoot."
"Shit, is this even Keter-rated?"
There was a lot of doubt in the live broadcast room, even Nick Fury was a little doubtful, wondering if he was overthinking.
"What the hell, sounds like early human Neanderthals." Natasha Romanoff muttered unhappily.
Unexpectedly, these words exploded in Nick Fury's mind like a spark.
"What did you say?"
Natasha Romanoff was startled and said subconsciously: "Neanderthals, an early human species that disappeared more than 20,000 years ago."
Early humans…
Nick Fury frowned and subconsciously looked at some dark-skinned agents. Then he thought of his own identity and his face suddenly became darker.
"Even if it was an early human, it would not be classified as a Keter-level containment object by the Foundation."
Everyone continued to watch.
[The effects of SCP-1000-f1 are as follows: Any primate that directly or indirectly observes any SCP-1000 has at least a 2% chance of
The observer should die immediately due to loss of brain function.]
[The probability of death will continue to increase as the observation time increases; for every 20 minutes of observation time, the mortality rate increases by 1%. This effect varies with different SCP-1000 instances, and in some cases, the mortality rate can reach 90%.]
[Observing a deceased instance of SCP-1000 has the same effect, but observing a small piece of fur has no effect.]
[Due to the close proximity between SCP-1000 and humans, it is believed that SCP-1000-f1 may eventually be transmitted to humans.]
Any SCP-1000 instance present in a densely populated area could result in a Class-A world-ending event, killing at least [REDACTED] of the population, and possibly
Luckily, SCP-1000 seems to instinctively avoid contact with humans.
Seeing this, the audience, who had just been filled with indignation and thought they had been deceived, was stunned.
Those viewers who thought that SCP-1000-f1 was Bigfoot and was rated Keter level immediately became proud.
See, I was right, wasn't I?
"If observed, they will die..." Natasha Romanoff said in amazement: "From this point of view, it is indeed an information-hazardous entity."
Assistant Maria couldn't help but retort: "In that case, as a Keter-level containment object, it should be this kind of virus, right?"
"Who knows? Anyway, my only worry is whether we will see these dangerous things." Natasha Romanoff looked at the bolded "world-class destruction event" on the screen.
Sigh:
"Seeing this, I understand why this thing is a Keter-level containment object. Various warnings, various emphasis on the dangers, even some of the alarmist words are too much to listen to."
Alarmist...
Nick Fury pondered the word, thoughtfully.
Alarmist?
I am very familiar with this method.
He always felt that this Bigfoot was not as simple as what was written in the file.
Because he knows that the more an organization wants to hide something, the more terrifying the existence behind it!
