As the laughter dies done, Xion begins to play the next file.
The screens show a woman with a red ponytail and vivid green eyes. She wears a similar uniform to Ruby and Yang except for an image of the GOC symbol on fire. "Hello, Major Pyrrha Nikos of Tau 12 better known as the Global Fire, reporting." The normally smiling face fell after seeing the file. "Today, I'm reading a very important SCP in my opinion."
Yang whistled at the older Nikos, which led to the champion blush. "Wonder why my group is called 'Global Fire'?"
Item #: SCP-1522
Object Class: Neutralized
"Am I safe to say that means they are destroyed?" Weiss asks which she gained a surprising sad nod.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 were tracked and monitored by MTF Pi-2 (aka "Baldr's Pyre"). MTF Pi-2 vehicles consisted of 2 Hamilton-class cutters and 1 National Security Cutter (SCPS-Minos), with associated aircraft.
Civilian maritime traffic was directed away from the expected course of SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2. When this was not possible, MTF Pi-2 ships were to fire flares in order to attract and lead SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 into isolated ocean areas.
"Sounds like they were dangerous if they had to use three ships and air support, while having to use flares to lure them away." Weiss said, not noticing a small glare from the doctor.
Description: SCP-1522 refers to two fishing trawlers (SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2), each 39 m in length. SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 were capable of speeds surpassing that of their specifications. Prior to Incident-1522-Rho, their highest observed speed was 120 knots. Controls on SCP-1522-1's and SCP-1522-2's bridges were capable of autonomous movement, but were immovable by Foundation personnel. SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 were assumed to be sapient, and usually responded to SCPS vessel signals to change course.
"What a minute." Pyrrha called out. "SCP-1522 were sapient fishing trawlers?" Gaining a nod. "And they weren't a treat?"
"Of course they were a threat, why else would they be terminated." Weiss confidently stated only this time Salem stared at the girl.
'Her ego is almost as large as Watts.'
Records indicate SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 were manufactured simultaneously in 1991 at the Parkol Marine shipyard in Whitby, United Kingdom. After construction, SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 were kept in Whitby harbour for several months due to financial complications, before being sold to separate buyers. They served with their respective companies for 3 years, before being decommissioned as a result of recurrent mechanical issues. No anomalous effects were present during this time. It is unclear whether SCP-1522-1 or SCP-1522-2 actually underwent a decommissioning process.
"So they were created, held for sale and thrown out of they're company at the same time. Anyone else notice a theme here?" Nora asks, gaining some nods.
In May 1997, SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 were detected, in a refurbished and repainted condition, off the southern coast of Alaska. Foundation VBSS operations found no crew aboard either ship. SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 were tracking a Gray whale mother and calf. Using modified active sonar pings to mimic cetacean calls, SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 spent the majority of their time finding and engaging in play-like activity with various whale species. The hulls of SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 regularly came into contact for prolonged periods while observing the animals.
Everyone turns to Weiss who had a confused look on her face before Blake said. "They're a 'treat', huh?" Weiss sighs before putting her hands under her desk before breaking her pinky.
During a 7-month period spent in the Arctic, presumably searching for the Bowhead whale, SCP-1522-2 collided with an iceberg. Part of the iceberg penetrated SCP-1522-2's outer hull and it was unable to free itself. SCP-1522-1 spent several weeks towing SCP-1522-2 and the iceberg into warmer waters until the iceberg had melted. SCP-1522-2 remained afloat, but was not subsequently observed moving faster than 10 knots.
A lot of the students couldn't hold in the thoughts of -1's loyalty for -2. Salem herself felt a binge of similarity at the event, remembering how hard she tried to bring Ozma back. Oh, how she regrets it now.
Addendum-1522-1: Event log of Incident-1522-Rho, taking place 60 km north-west of Ullapool, Scotland in mid 2011.
Foreword: The following log is a composite account of eyewitness reports and video feeds taken from members of MTF Pi-2. SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 were following a pod of Minke whales.
The video starts to play and everyone looks in awe at the sapient trawlers surrounded by the smallest whales they have ever seen.
Begin Log
11.51 - SCP-1522-1 curves around the bow of SCP-1522-2, before briefly accelerating to 80 knots, creating a large wave which splashes several Minke whales and causes SCP-1522-2 to rock slightly.
Small chuckles are heard throughout the room.
11.54 - SCP-1522-2 comes up to the port side of SCP-1522-1 and sounds its foghorn. They turn together in a south-westerly direction.
12.18 - Both SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 come to a complete stop. No activity is registered from either ship for a period of 17 seconds. SCP-1522-1 then focuses its weather surveillance radar on SCP-1522-2 and sounds its foghorn three times in slow succession.
This caught everyone's attention, the once joyful moment stopped when the trawlers didn't move before the foghorn went off.
12.19 - SCPS Minos detects a RGM-84 Harpoon, inbound on a bearing of three-four-zero. Vector indicates SCP-1522-2 as target.
Everyone's eyes widened as Pyrrha was the only one who could say a single worded whisper. "No."
12.20 - SCP-1522-2 sounds its foghorn four times and begins moving at 8 knots to touch its hull with that of SCP-1522-1. SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 collide gently. SCPS Minos detects a second RGM-84 Harpoon on a bearing of three-four-zero.
Everyone begins to hold their breath, praying if not fruitlessly for the two SCPs to survive.
12.22 - SCP-1522-1 moves and turns to a bearing of three-four-zero. SCP-1522-1 then accelerates to Mach 4, resulting in large plumes of steam and the creation of a bow wave of approximately 60 m in height. SCP-1522-1 vanishes over the horizon in 23 seconds.
12.23 - Harpoon missiles hit SCP-1522-2's starboard side. SCP-1522-2's hull is ruptured and it begins to sink. All lights on SCP-1522-2 go out.
Tears begin to run down Ruby, Nora and Pyrrha while Yang and Jaune clench their fists.
12.26 - SCP-1522-1 is seen returning from the direction it previously left. SCP-1522-1's foghorn is continually blaring. SCP-1522-1 tries to prevent SCP-1522-2 from taking on water by moving to SCP-1522-2's starboard side.
The three previous tear bearers begin to weep as Blake and Yang join with tears and Ren clench his fist.
12.28 - As SCP-1522-2 becomes completely submerged, numerous active sonar pings are detected, originating from SCP-1522-1. SCP-1522-1 begins a series of complex high-speed movements. Resultant subsurface wave patterns create multiple zones of high pressure below SCP-1522-2 in an apparent effort by SCP-1522-1 to cause SCP-1522-2 to resurface.
12.30 - SCP-1522-2 is no longer visible from the surface. SCP-1522-1 ceases all activity.
Weiss put her hands on her face as her teammates weep and the male half of JNPR comfort their partners. Salem places a hand on Ruby's back before giving her small rubs at the spine. Salem herself holds everything inside, but wishes whoever attacked such peaceful… creatures would be sent a one way ticket to hell.
16.00 - An MH-65C Dolphin helicopter is launched from SCPS Minos, and approaches SCP-1522-1 for monitoring. No change in activity is reported.
19.36 - SCP-1522-1 lets out a sustained call from its foghorn. SCPS Minos's sonar detects large rectangular masses detaching from SCP-1522-1, later found to be parts of SCP-1522-1's hull. SCP-1522-1 is fully submerged within 10 minutes.
Yang, Jaune, Ren and Salem gave a small growl at hearing that as the rest trying to keep themselves together.
Closing Statement: SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 were to be raised and beached, in preparation to be taken for salvage at Site-6, Svalbard. Weather conditions caused salvage operations to be delayed for several months, resulting in the decayed condition seen above. The remains of a GOC ship of indeterminate class were discovered at 59°30'N, 6°09'W. No lifeboats were found.
"GOC?" Ren asks the doctor.
"The GOC believes any to all anomalies need to be destroyed, doesn't matter if the anomaly is peaceful or a person." Xion growled the last part. Hearing that made the more vengeful member hoping that the crew drowned for what they did.
Addendum-1522-2: During the recovery and investigation of the vessels, two small partially-formed apparently non-anomalous rowing boats were recovered from within the hull of SCP-1522-2. These vessels were extracted from SCP-1522-2 and are currently stored in situ at Site-6, Svalbard.
Weiss got her face off her hands when that part came. "What?" Though looking at the image of the destroyed boats in the background with the two rowing boats causes her to weep at the spot alongside everyone else.
Addendum-1522-3: Following the beaching of SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2, an unclear humanoid figure was spotted near the wrecks; however, no such figure was detained. The note below was found on the bridges of SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2.
They were happy, before the end. Not all ships have to pass in the night.
-Pangloss
Ruby and Salem's eyes flicker for a moment before coming back to normal, but the anger still remains there.
The screen shows Pyrrha trying to hold back some tears before wiping them away. "I'm sorry, this is just a sad tale to me." Her face becomes serious. "This is the reason why what we do is the right thing to do and not the GOC. With that out of the way, I hope we'll meet again." Pyrrha gives a warm smile before the recording ends.
As Major Nikos ended her file everyone was given a personal box of tissues. As they clean their nose and tears off, the after scene begins to play.
Pyrrha and a handful of Tau-12 on a speed boat with four next to they'res speed towards a GOC transport vessel that has an empty harpoon launcher. The crew barely had time to react as Pyrrha and the other Tau-12 opened fire on the crew before getting on board. Some of the crew members were still alive but were too wounded to fight. One of them reaches his hand up to Pyrrha to beg for mercy only for Pyrrha to pull out her side arm and shoot the crewmember.
For the amount the silents were there, but unlike the cheers for Agent Nightshade from early, there was a silent glee at seeing the men who were responsible were put down like rabid dogs.
Weep, I'm sad now. Let's go to the reviews.
