A few days have passed since the SCP-230-EN incident. After the initial shock of 900 random attendees dying from the detox, life has resumed to a state of relative calm. Lincoln has already gone to his friend, Liam's, farm to discuss the future state of events.
"Hey, Liam; Did you see the party a few weeks ago?"
"Yeah, it was the talk of the whole talk of the town! Everyone at school couldn't stop talking about it! Even though you didn't really do much to help stop SCP-230-EN, people are still jealous over the fact you got to meet seven different celebrities!"
"Tell me about it. Lori and Carol got bombarded by people at their school, fawning over how Carol actually got the privilege to sing fight the legend himself, Alex Beckham! Lori told me that all the girls over there were fawning over how hot Alex was and not even giving a damn about how Carol almost lost her voice singing in their duel. Seriously! The woman had to sing four songs back to back to back to back without breaks!"
"I'll admit, it's not my kind of party, but she did sing pretty well for a city slicker. Especially against an artist of his caliber."
"It's just too bad David and Luke didn't survive the detox. RIP Boyinaband and Yungtown…"
The two friends stop reminiscing, they were supposed to do something here, weren't they?
"So, about these anomalies…"
"Before you ask, we're not slaughtering the farm animals, at least the ones that produce something, if the apocalypse comes."
"Why did you think I was going to ask that?"
"Because Zach asked me the same thing. He told me about some unrealistic zombie show that his conspiracy theorist parents watch and how that in the tie in game, there was a farm that only had a cow left after the zombies showed up."
"Huh, I may have heard that one before."
"Now, I may not know about Zach, but I'm not about to resort to cannibalism to stay alive, unlike you sickos."
"Wait, what?!"
"Oh, Zach read some horror story on the Internet where your genius sister accidently nuked Royal Woods while trying to make some government project. Basically, everything around a 250-meter radius from the blast zone was dead. It was kind of like Fallout, but even edgier. Anyways, just like the zombie show, the most dangerous things are the people changed by the event, but unlike the show, not everyone dies. I think only 3 of your sisters died? Anyways, one of your sisters tried to leave, but this would break the masquerade, so let's just say if you played that zombie game, you know what happened."
"Dang, really?!" Lincoln says, his heart entering a tachycardic arrythmia
"Yeah, I don't know if I got that exactly right. Zach tried to find it again, but it vanished off the Internet. He said something about the writer retiring or something."
Liam notices Lincoln panicking.
"Geeze, Lincoln, It's just a story. We know you're not really like that!"
Suddenly, an Anomalous Burst appears in the sky overhead Liam's farm. It drops not one, but two SCP anomalies! The first is a sheep. Baa baa white sheep, spare you any wool? It walks around grazing on the grass inside the property before emitting an electrical discharge!
"Huh, I guess androids really do dream of electric sheep. I'll have to tell Lisa that later."
"Yeah, that's great but that sheep just shot electricity at us!"
"And it looks like it's charging up again! Duck!"
The two boys duck as lighting zooms over their heads. It strikes a fencepost. Thankfully, it was a plastic fencepost.
"What do we do? We can't get close to him without getting zapped!"
"Maybe there's only one thing to do…"
Liam heads toward the Anomalous Burst. Maybe he can get an anomaly to stop the sheep.
"Liam, it's too random! You might get electricity powers too!"
"Anything's better than being shot at!"
Liam goes over the spot where the burst is and lets himself be bathed in its light. But another anomaly appears to emerge. It looks like a tree branch. Lincoln immediately recognizes it, as Lana showed a picture of it to him because she thought it was cute, and it is, but it's also very deadly!
"LIAM, GET OUT OF THERE NOW!"
Liam notices what looks like a gnarled mass of twisted roots attempting to come out. What looks like a horse leg comes sticking out of the crack. He decides to bolt. A beautiful horse leaps out of the burst, which seals behind it. Lincoln decides to inform his sisters of the cute threat and runs all the way back to his house, leaving Liam behind.
Liam is scared that two anomalies are on the farm and both are super dangerous. Though, he's not sure if the sheep discharging electricity everywhere or the tangled mass of roots in the shape of a horse is more dangerous.
"Lisa, I need a hazmat suit."
"Oh, elder brother. Is it another anomaly?"
"Two, I need one quick before they do something terrible to Liam!"
"Sure, take it!"
Lincoln suits up and races back to rescue his friend.
The sheep begins to fire off another electrical discharge and…
Liam catches it and throws the lightning back at the sheep. It didn't do anything because it was immune to electricity, but it was still pretty awesome.
The wooden horse approaches Liam and…lets Liam head pat it. It was adorable. I guess the horsey isn't a dangerous SCP after all!
"Well, aren't you cute."
Lincoln comes back, out of breath and sweaty since he was wearing that hazmat suit all the way here.
"Liam. Did you touch that horse?"
"Yeah, why."
"I am so sorry, Liam. But you are going to suffer a fate worse than death. See, that is SCP-805-EN, Poison Wood Foal. It may look like an adorable horsey and it is, but it is super dangerous!"
"No, it isn't, I just touched it."
"Damn, if only we had the panacea. You must be in the primary stages of infection. See, even though all 805-EN wants are head pats, anyone it touches turns into an immotile tree statue that can still feel pain! The infection looks like a green or brownish rash and will turn you into a tree in around 3-8 hours."
Liam looks at his hands.
"Nope, no rash."
Lincoln looks at Liam's hands, not even a blister!
"What?! Normally people who touch it would be in excruciating pain! For some reason it's not affecting you, and I don't want to test our immunities to certain anomalies because we shouldn't have any!"
That sheep begins baaing aggressively and making angry ram noises. I think it's jealous that Liam gave SCP-805-EN attention. He fires off several rounds of electrical discharge. This time the lighting strikes the two boys and knocks Lincoln down.
"Good thing this biohazard suit is rubber."
As for Liam, the electricity didn't do anything. It's like the electricity passed through him and entered the ground.
"Huh?"
"No way! You're immune to lightning now?!"
Liam is left wondering how this is possible? The burst should have given him something to help deal with these anomalies. He just can't figure out what it is.
"Ah, anyway. The sheep is SCP-594-EN, Electric Sheep. They are highly aggressive and territorial sheep, similar to that of an Argali, that produce a ludicrous amount of static electricity. They can generate so much electricity they can walk on air by manipulating the EM fields around it! If the 1314/448 mature to immature ratio is not met then [DATA EXPUNGED]."
Liam is a bit confused at all the technobabble.
"Look, these two are dangerous, unless you have something that can deal with electricity constantly, the sheep might have to go. As for the horse, no one can touch it without a hazmat suit."
Yeah, you're right.
Lincoln leaves, but now what? Liam has two dangerous SCPs to deal with. While he can slaughter SCP-594-EN and get some of that famous thunder mutton, he can't exactly get rid of SCP-805-EN in the same manner. It's too adorable to kill and too dangerous to let it run free. This is quite the predicament.
