"Chase."

"Ether."

"Isaac."

"Baton."

*Silence came over the atmosphere. Then two Chaos Insurgency soldier surrounded Isaac and Baton.*

"It's either my way or death. Choose carefully."

"Neither. Dr. Baton! Run!"

"Wait wha-"

*Isaac suddenly threw a smoke bomb. Smoke covered the area. Baton suddenly ran towards the two Insurgency soldier, stabbed them both quickly, and ran away.*

"Chase! Deal with this man! I'll go after the runaway..."

*Baton suddenly heard footstep behind him at rapid speed. In front of him is a big glass panel. He charged toward it.*

"FUCK THIS SHIIIITTT!!!"

*He was suddenly tackled from behind through the glass panel and landed into a big room. He broke free and stood up, moving away from Dr. Ether. Dr. Ether stood up.*

"Careful now. We're in the room with the virus.

*He looked at the center of the room. There sat a vial containing the virus.*

"I won't let you get to the virus."

"Are you suggesting a duel?"

"Hmm?"

"I'll make you a deal since I'm a pretty reasonable guy. If you defeat me, I'll let you get rid of the virus. If you're defeated, the world is dead. Deal?"

*He grasp his combat knife tightly. He remembered all the good times he had with Dr. Ether. All the good times he had with SCP-053. The memories of his friends and family. He wasn't going to die here. He wasn't going to let the world die. He will win. He will save Dr. Ether. He will save everyone. He is going to see 053 again. This may seem impossible to win but fuck it, he's going to try!*

"DEAL MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!!!"

*He dashed towards Dr.Ether.*

Gale smiled, but turned down the drink, "I think I'm done for now, after seeing what you did back there at the hospital. I'm not that thirsty..." he stopped. On second thought, maybe he would. He nodded and took the beer. While very distasteful, it sure kept his eyes open and his spirits high.

"We shouldn't tarry now, I haven't the time, Kale might fall asleep and I'll miss my chance to speak to him"

------------

Heathen sighed and Finlay glanced about in disinterest.

"You know your way around, its a simple system. Go wild, just try not to break anything, alright?"

"Jah, doctor" said Heathen, and he took a breath and started his way through the archives. He hoped desperately that Maynard would not be like Doctor Gideon, he didn't need that again. He searched and actually found records on the man. He'd worked on SCPs before, he was a good doctor but very private. It wasn't a very helpful fact, but the more he looked, the less he found on his past. There was simply nothing there. He sat down at one point just to stare at the pages he had when he remembered what Gale had said, and he decided to set on his alternate quest.

-------------

Nothing. Not a single bloody document, and it was threatening to cause a rage on Heathen. He looked on similar categories and still, nothing. It was then, when he had screamed his lungs out in the secured and sound proof room (scaring FInlay slightly at one point) when he did find one document. He read it thoroughly and sighed bitterly. It was impossible, yet here it was. He walked backed to the entrance where a sleeping Finlay sat. He crouched down and shook her awake.

"Doctor, we have to go, Gale will need to see this, now!"

He grabbed two beers from the fridge, and handed one to Anna.

"Drink it, that's an order."

She smiled.

"Thanks CPT. Grevik"

She spoke in a sarcastic tone, but not rudely. Slade put the disk in his Blue Ray player and sat in his 4 person couch. Anna sat next to him. He turned to everyone else.

"Space for two more here, there's a recliner over there, plus a few chairs at the counter. Like the T.V? 65 inch LED. I usually use this place for sleep, and not much else. You guys are welcomed in pretty much whenever."

He lost himself for a moment. Why was he so upbeat? He wondered, then refocused.

"Alright lets see this recording."

(You guys should use this room as the 'box' plot HQ. It's like practically a house.)

"Dibs on the recliner!" Dr. Kelman said quickly before anyone else had a chance. He went over, sat down, and pulled the lever on the side of the chair.

Gale sighed, it was another inconvenience but he had to wait. He began to speak when the door opened to reveal an exhuasted Heathen. He'd ran the whole way to this room, and only knew Gale was here due to Slade's radio conversation. Heathen tried to catch his breath, but rather decided to give the document to Gale. He took it and read. Silence then...

"Thank you, Heathen, this'll be helpful. Don't worry, I'll see what I can do," Heathen nodded and left the room, leaving the four alone again. Gale said with a bleak face, "I'll explain this later, recording's first"

Just before the recording could start playing, Mestiar felt a hard burned on his chest, it was his notebook, the brimstone symbol started to glow stronger than before, Mestiar knew it was an important message from the depths, since he was running out of time an the order would not be pleased with decisions taken by Mestiar. He then open up his notebook, revealing the notes from the messenger.

"The Sheol demands an answer, and the dark lord seeks the unholy justice, bring us the man to the box, and you shall met your fate, and your loved ones too"

Mestiar proceeded to answer back to the messenger

"I will, where is the box? my great messenger"

"The box shall be on the rest room, we are waiting for you."

The notebook stopped to glow.

"We have to move, now" Mestiar said.

Dr. Kelman saw something in the corner of his eye. He turned to look, and he saw Dr. Strange writing in his glowing notebook. When Strange stopped writing, he said, "We have to move, now."

This would mean Kelman would have to give up the recliner... He didn't want to do that, but he understood it was urgent. He sighed. "Okay," he said reluctantly, getting up from the recliner. He walked over to Strange. "Where are we going?"

"To the nearest rest room, let´s move." Mestiar said, rushing to the door, his eyes started to glow again.

"Alright lets go."

Slade and Anna both got up and followed Strange. Sladed finished his beer as they walked, and tossed it in the trash before leaving the room.

Gale saw that everyone was moving out, already, he didn't need to go with them.

"Slade, just tell me where Kale is now, I haven't the time"
