The story about SCP-1000 is so terrifying when you think about it carefully that Marvel's audience was silent for a long time before they could barely calm down their complicated emotions.
When they looked at the screen again, some time had passed in the memory.
In the picture, Leon Lake, Lois, and Zyn, who were born in the same period, are gathered together again.
However, compared to when they first entered Site 17, the three of them were obviously different.
Leon Lake was still calm, but he was no longer like before, keeping strangers away.
Zyn is still full of ambition, but she is no longer as inflexible as she was at the beginning.
Only Lois was no longer full of fighting spirit. He looked much more depressed and even had a more cynical look on his face.
"Damn those high-ranking officials of the Foundation, they should all go to hell! Gulp~"
Lois took a big gulp of wine, her face flushed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Sometimes, I feel that there is no difference between us researchers and D-class personnel!"
Zyn looked at him worriedly and said, "If it doesn't work, go to the Ethics Committee and ask for a transfer."
Lois immediately gave a weird look: "Do you know what the shortest joke in the Foundation is?"
Zyn was stunned. Leon Lake, who had been silent, replied with two words: "Ethics."
Zyn frowned.
Lois then asked, "What's the longest joke?"
"Minutes of the Ethics Committee meeting."
Psst~
"Hahaha~ Leon, I didn't know you had such a sense of humor!" Lois burst into laughter.
Leon Lake clinked glasses with him indifferently.
Zyn was puzzled and said: "You can definitely exchange ideas with them."
Lois asked back: "What is an exchange of views?"
"Go to the Ethics Committee with your opinions, and come back with theirs."
Zyn's face suddenly turned red, and at this moment, the Propaganda Department's daily quotations rang out in the cafeteria.
"Every person's dignity is supreme, and every person's safety is of vital importance. We must work hard at all costs to contain the anomaly and protect the future of all mankind."
Zyn immediately stood up and said indignantly: "You see, the Foundation actually attaches great importance to us."
Lois and Leon Lake looked at each other.
Leon Lake raised his glass and took a sip: "What they mean is... we are the price."
Upon hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.
"What the hell? Hahahaha!"
"The jokes are 100% funny; Leon Lake's jokes are 200% funny!"
"I've moved to tears. Do the researchers have such a strong grudge against the top management of the Foundation?"
"..."
For a moment, the entire live broadcast room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Unfortunately, before the moment of leisure lasted long, the person that everyone least wanted to see appeared on the screen.
"Damn it, I finally found you." Dr. Kondraki ran over and snatched the bottle.
Gulp gulp~
Hiss~
Ha!
After drinking half the bottle in one breath, Dr. Kondraki looked at the three people with satisfaction.
"Um...Dr. Kondraki, what's the matter?" Zyn asked first with a thin face.
"Ah, it's almost over." Dr. Kondraki took out a file from his pocket and replied:
"SCP-105 has breached containment."
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
Boom!
The entire live broadcast room exploded instantly.
Containment has failed, and you still have the energy to drink?
The faces of the three people in the picture also changed drastically, especially Zyn, who could barely speak clearly.
"Shishi... failed? What happened to Iris?"
Lois also turned her head and cursed inwardly.
Dr. Kondraki said calmly, "Yes, it failed. She is gone."
As he said this, he looked at Lois, who immediately stood up and said righteously:
"Doctor, I have already asked for leave from the Ethics Committee! They approved it! No one has the power to cancel my leave!"
Seeing Dr. Kondraki hesitate, he immediately emphasized: "This is what I deserve!"
Then, he avoided Zyn's murderous gaze guiltily.
Dr. Kondraki was helpless, so he looked at Leon Lake: "I can't help it, I have to trouble you again."
Leon Lake shrugged and took the file from Dr. Kondraki.
The audience in the live broadcast room immediately looked at the contents of the file attentively.
[Project Name: Iris]
[Item No.: SCP-105]
[Object Class: Safe]
Seeing that the level was Safe, the audience in the live broadcast room finally understood why Dr. Kondraki didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
[SCP-105 is currently housed at Site-17 and has been implanted with a tracking device. SCP-105 is allowed social contact with authorized site personnel, granted based on continued good behavior and cooperation with Foundation personnel.]
[Description: SCP-105 is a European female with blonde hair and blue eyes, currently 1.54 meters tall and weighing 50 kg. SCP-105 does not exhibit any abnormal physical characteristics and is a healthy normal human.]
Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room were all stunned.
A woman?
S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Oh, I remember now!" Natasha Romanoff slapped her thigh and said excitedly:
"The white coat who brought Leon Lake and the others to Site 17 said that 105 is a low-risk humanoid anomaly."
At the end, she smacked her lips and said, "I didn't expect it to be true."
Nick Fury was puzzled: "If that's the case, why is she a containment and how did she disappear?"
[SCP-105-B is a Polaroid One Step Express camera manufactured in [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-105-B does not display any unusual physical properties and, in general, behaves like a normal Polaroid camera when operated by anyone other than SCP-105.]
[When SCP-105 is in possession of a photograph taken by SCP-105-B, the photograph changes from a still image to a real-time image of the location where the photograph was taken.
SCP-105 is also able to move through the photograph and manipulate objects within the photograph's range from the location where the photograph was taken.]
[SCP-105 has demonstrated the ability to manipulate objects through other photos, but stated that it is most effective when using SCP-105-B.]
Seeing this, everyone finally understood the abnormal characteristics of 105.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Hiss~ This ability... space teleportation?"
"It doesn't feel very strong, so I have to have photos."
"What if they are Safe level?"
"..."
Looking at the chattering agents, Nick Fury frowned and shook his head:
"No! This is a horrible ability!"
"Fear?"
Nick Fury looked at Natasha Romanoff and asked, "What do you think would happen if she had a picture of an enemy?"
Natasha Romanoff thought for a moment after hearing this, and her pupils suddenly contracted to a dot!
"It means that she can do anything to the target at any time through the photo!"
As an agent, especially a top agent, Natasha Romanoff has carried out countless assassinations.
Among her targets are the royal family of a country and senior officials of an organization...
The vast majority succeeded, but there were also failures.
It can be said that every assassination attempt is a test of life and death for her.
If she had the ability of 105,
So,
She would become the most powerful assassin in the world!
The scene continues.
"As you can see, 105 is not very threatening. In a sense, she is even a kind child. Unfortunately, the Foundation asked her to do some..." Before he finished speaking, Dr. Kondraki sighed:
"Anyway, because of a certain doctor's bad choices, she escaped! Join agents Adrian and Beatrice to bring her back!"
Dr. Kondraki left after he finished speaking. Zyn came to Leon Lake and said reluctantly: "I know Iris, she is a very kind girl. Please try not to hurt her."
Leon Lake looked at her calmly without nodding.
Adrian and Beatrice are two field agents, one male and one female. The male is mature and the female is lively.
When Leon Lake met the two, Beatrice chattered almost all the way.
"Is your job as a researcher dangerous? How much is the salary?"
"I heard that 105 is a girl. Did you hurt her, which led to..."
The three of them had arrived at their destination - the airline.
Adrian quickly stopped Beatrice, who was about to ask more questions: "Okay guys, our mission is to cooperate with Leon to bring back 105, it's that simple!"
Beatrice then shut up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard..."
The low hum of a vacuum cleaner was the only sound besides the automated broadcast over the airport PA.
This airport is the smallest in the city - it's mostly commuter planes and private jets.
A petite girl put her suitcase next to the seat, with her boarding pass in her pocket and a pistol case in her arms.
She looked up at the time from time to time, her expression slightly anxious and uneasy.
She had an urgent desire to get up and walk around.
Although her heart was beating fast,
Although her palms were sweaty,
She was still sitting in her shabby chair.
Head down, trying to look like a weary traveler who wants to go home after a long trip overseas:
Tired of the world,
Tired of adventure,
Looking for a home,
The opportunity to sleep in your own bed and...
Footsteps.
Da da da~
That distinctive sound of heavy-duty boots on carpet.
She stole a glance at the corridor and her heart sank.
Two men and a woman were walking towards her.
"I told you, this mission is easy!" Beatrice whistled, Adrian's mouth twitched, and the two followed Leon Lake.
Leon Lake avoided all sounds and walked to his target.
As the footsteps got closer, Iris hugged herself tightly.
Leon Lake stopped in front of her, and the girl, with her head tilted, could only see the pair of spotlessly polished leather shoes.
She looked up.
Leon Lake had a handsome face, and his brown eyes had a gaze that was always from afar, which made her obsessed but also alert.
"Hi," she said softly.
"Iris." Leon Lake looked at her calmly: "I'm Leon, you know why we are here, right?"
Iris Thompson, 15, also known as SCP-105, curled up into a ball and began to tremble.
"Yes," she said softly, her throat dry and astringent:
"You are here to take me back."
"Um."
Iris swallowed hard, her throat felt sore.
Her heart was pounding.
"And---Dantensentt..."
She sobbed, her voice complaining on the edge of despair:
"You read his report, right? I-My Ability is gone. I can't-I can't...I can't do what I used to do..."
The grievance on the girl's face was visible to the naked eye.
She took a deep, steadying breath. "I'm not... no longer SC—"
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Beatrice interrupted mercilessly:
"Come on, we know Dantensen falsified his data, and Neil is doing an audit right now. By morning, the O5s will vote to revoke your release order..."
"What if you are wrong?!" Iris interrupted.
"What if Dantensen is right, and I really don't have the ability anymore? What are you going to do, hold me up until I die?"
Her voice echoed in the terminal room... which was suspiciously empty, in fact.
She took a quick glance and was surprised to find that the entire airport was empty.
There were no cleaners to clean the carpets, no elderly ladies to tend the card stands.
The only people in the entire airport were Leon Lake, Adrian, Beatrice, and herself...
"Iris," Leon Lake sighed, "listen to me."
He knelt on one knee in front of the little girl, his expression softened, his tone gentle, as if carrying a touch of soothing magic:
"I know life on site is hard..."
"That was f*****g torture," Iris cursed.
"Hey, girl, be careful with your words..." Adrian reminded.
"I don't want to talk," Iris stared at Leon Lake, "I just want to go home."
Just at this moment.
'Dear fellow passengers...
The airport broadcast system gave a soft announcement, and through the wide glass windows, a small airliner could be seen approaching the gate.
Iris' eyes lit up.
"That's the plane I'm on back home."
Iris picked up her suitcase and camera: "Bye."
The two agents behind him looked at each other.
Leon Lake stood up and threw a Polaroid photo on Iris's legs.
Above is the internal mechanism of a small-caliber pistol.
Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room were all stunned.
Iris looked up at him, horrified.
Leon Lake pulled out a pistol from his arms and pointed the gun at his forehead in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
"I'll count to three..." he said, "and then I'll shoot myself in the head. You can stop me if you use your Ability."
