Hello everyone! this is just a little passion project of mine that I have been wanting to do for quite some time. I just thought it would be cool if there were SCP files on horror movie monsters. I also plan on doing Addendum files as well where SCP staff ( that i make up ) and have then in stories about containing said monsters, but that took a lot longer than expected and also my computer broke so yeah... anyways this will be the first of many horror movies that i plan on making into fan made SCP's. also if you guys know how i can make the files look better or have any suggestions on movies or shows you'd recommend being turned into an SCP then let me know! And you know, if you hate it tell me why so I can do better when editing or making new files. now without further delay this is the first ever file of the SCP: Horror Movie Files!
File 1: Slither
SCP#: AAA
Code Name: The Long One
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: After the incident in the small town of [data expunged] SCP-AAA was found to have survived the destruction of its original host and had taken an adult house cat as a new host. Upon being found, the host was tranquilized and sent to site-XX and frozen in a subterranean freezer chamber and armed with movement detection explosives that will activate should the freezers fail, and the ice starts to melt allowing the entity to escape. should the chamber of SCP-AAA be destroyed there is to be a mandatory evacuation of site-XX and all staff are to be checked for the host symptoms of SCP-AAA.
Description: SCP-AAA is a parasitic alien lifeform that travels from world to world devouring it of all its organic life until everything has been infected or consumed. once it is done consuming a world it seems to form its body into a meteor by unknown means and launch itself off-world in the hopes of finding a new world of organic life and restart its feeding process. Its first step is leaving its meteor shell and go into a slug like body that is able to protect the true body from any dangers the world might have. Once the slug body has come into contact with an organism, it will alert its true body which is a small parasite that takes the form of an organic needle. The true body with then launch out of the slug body and dig into the body of the organism.
Once inside the organism it will move into the brain and control cerebrum and cerebellum, there it will take over the host by filling them with the insatiable desire to eat any form of meat possible. As the host consumes meat, they will begin to mutate slowly with the first stage of symptoms being strange orange rashes and an ever-growing wound in the stomach. The next stage is the start of the parasitic infection to where the host will grow two tentacles from their stomach as a means of creating wombs. Once at this state the host will proceed to find other members of the host's species and infect them by piercing their stomach with the two tentacles, one tentacle is responsible for injecting the parasite embryos and the other is responsible for injecting the nutrients for the parasites to grow and for the body to turn into a proper womb for the parasites. Both tentacles are needed for this process without one the process fails entirely, and the host will not become a womb. It has been theorized that the infection is not limited to just organisms of the same species and that other species can become wombs as well. However due to testing not being permitted because of the vile nature of SCP-AAA this remains a theory.
Once the victim has been turned into a womb, they will still have a sense of logic and reason but will mainly be focused on their hunger for more meat to feed the thousands of parasites inside of them. There have been no other recorded infections and testing has not been permitted at this time so it is hypothesized that the main host will prefer a maximum of one womb during the beginning stage. At this time the rashes on the main host's body will start to become boils and swollen patches as the skin itself will mutate due to the main parasite controlling the body. This will slowly lead to the main host's limbs either growing outstretched or shriveling up and falling off. All that is left now is the final stage where the host will mutate into a large slug-like abomination with several tentacles growing out at random parts of the body and replacing all the limbs of the host. At this point, the host no longer resembles what they once were and are to be considered predators that hunt viciously for large amounts of meat for itself and for the growing womb.
Once the womb has grown to a certain size it is theorized that the main host preferred form of infection is to try and find any means possible to lead any organism to the womb so that they can become hosts. However, this occurrence has only happened once, so weather this is a common tactic or not remains a theory. Regardless as the womb has finally reached the final stage of feeding it will pop due to the large number of slug parasites inside the womb's body. once the slugs have burst the womb open, they will swarm out and find any organism available and proceed to enter the body of said organism via the mouth.
When the parasite has successfully entered the mouth of the organism, said organism will enter a comatose like state where it is believed the slug will slowly enter the brain, and just like the original parasite it will mutate and take over the body. After about an hour of being in a comatose state, the victim will awaken with the will and memory of the main host and the main parasite. The mutations of the organism's host to the slug parasites include limited muscle movement due to the degrading of the brain, sore boil growths on the skin, and acidic spit for capturing other organisms or for self-defense. During the [data expunged] town incident the victims infected by the slug parasites had the same will and desires as [data expunged] who was the main host at the time, because of this it is hypothesized that the main parasite had originally never attacked any worlds with organisms of higher or even similar intelligence level as humans on earth and therefore was the reason that despite being nothing more than a host [data expunged] had more will over the power of the slug parasites and their victims than the main parasite.
After a large proportion of victims have been infected, they will seek out more victims to either be turned into wombs or to be consumed. Then the main host will enter its final stage where it will attach itself to a familiar and safe area and start growing out large amounts of useless biomass. The hosts of the slug parasites will then latch themselves into this biomass and said biomass will link their bodies and minds completely to the main host allowing it to gain more biomass and power as more of the slug parasite hosts join its body. Once the [data expunged] incident was over the cleanup crew found in the basement of [data expunged] house several dead victims turned into wombs while they were alive, so it was confirmed that from this point on the only purpose of the main host would have been to continue to create more wombs to infect more organisms with the slug parasites until all organism on the planet were either infected and absorbed or dead and consumed. afterward, it is hypothesized that the main host body with its large amount of biomass would use said mass to condense itself into a meteorite and launch itself into space to find another planet to feed off of, however how it does this is entirely unknown.
SCP-AAA was discovered in the small town of [data expunged] when reports of a "squid man" who was attacking and eating the local livestock were sent out by the local police station and concerned citizens. A small force of multiple MTF units with Dr [data expunged] were sent to the area to confirm the presence of any anomalies. Dr [data expunged] and three other civilians were the only survivors of the incident. see Addendum: x-1 for further details.

the following is a written unredacted report of the details within the recording of Dr. Wicked during his encounters in the town of Wheelsy, South Carolina.
"Is this thing on? testing? testing? Ok good it works. ahem! Good evening, I am Dr. Wicked, and I am with a small investigation squad composed of disguised Iota-10 operatives. We are here to assess the situation on whether or not this squid man actually exists."
"Come on Doc, I think this is another prank call or mass hysteria. you know like that other small town that kept talking about sasquatch visiting their church."
"Uh, bigfoot is real man."
"Wait seriously?"
"Yeah man its SCP-1000, don't you ever read the files?"
"Nah man I'm too scare to do that, I heard there was this one SCP that when you talk about it, it takes you away."
"Oh yeah that thing, but seriously man you really should know more about the SCP's."
"Ok that's enough, let's not make this recording longer than it needs to be. ahem! Anyways incase this is a biohazard anomaly two different de-briefing biohazard stations have been placed to keep anyone who might be infected with whatever this is from escaping and spreading any possible infections. Said biohazard stations are employed with MTF's Iota-10, Epsilon-6, and Epsilon-9 Troopers on standby should they be required. Oh, it looks like we have made it to the police station where most of the reports have been made so we will be departing right now." one of the soldiers then opened the door and Dr. Wicked was the first of them to exist the small truck. Dr. Wicked was disguised as a CDC researcher while the three Iota-10's were wearing their FBI disguises, they then enter the sheriff's office to gain any local information and have the local law enforcement cooperate in containment if possible.
"Look Bill, just control this however you-" everyone in the station then goes silent when Dr. Wicked and the three Iota-10 agents entered the station.
"...huh... ahem! I am Dr. Wicked of the CDC and as you can see behind me are three FBI agents, we are here because we have heard several reports of a uh... squid man, who is causing trouble? we have reason to believe that this man is infected with a terrible disease, so we are here to find, contain and hopefully cure him."
"Oh no! no! no! no need! no need! we don't need the government coming here and causing trouble-"
"Well sorry sir but if not handled properly this could be a national emergency. So, we just need to speak to the sheriff and-"
"Ok listen, I am the mayor of this fine town and I say we got this under control." the sheriff and other law enforcers at the office then started chuckling to which the mayor quickly tried to shush them all.
"... really, well then Mr. Mayor, if you have this under control then would you mind telling me what uh... Mr. Grant is infected with."
"Oh... uh... well that's easy he uh... well he's obviously infected with Lymes disease!"
"... Lymes disease... you're sure about that?"
"Yeah, I mean you know, when you touch deer feces and then eat a sandwich without washing your hands and then bam!"
"... bam? you suddenly turn into a squid person?" The mayor looked back at Bill in anger while he and the other officers started laughing again. The mayor then turned back to Dr. Wicked who was looking more unamused and disappointed as time went on, leaving the mayor to smile nervously.
"Ok well um I think that's just people wanting attention. I mean, you know how boring life in a small town can be, some people just need to make stuff up."
"Uh Mayor the last time we saw Grant, his hand was all long and limping around like a noodle or something." The Mayor then looked at Dr. Wicked in fear but then smiled while the doctor just glared in disappointment.
"Ok um... Witcher right?"
"Dr. Wicked actually."
"Yeah, whatever anyways-"
"DR. WICKED!"
"...right, Dr. Wicked. um you know if your government folks start rolling in then people are gonna start to freak out, I can't have that."
"Wait so government folks are bad but Grant killing everybody's cows is, ok?"
"Can you just shut your mouth for five seconds!"
"Ok, Mr. Mayor listen to me. like it or not we are here and you need us, and please rest assure during our time here we will be as discreet as possible, but if we need to evacuate this entire town then under the law of the U.S. Government as well as the safety of this town we will do what is necessary, because with all due respect you're not the highest authority here anymore." the Mayor was dead silent out of intimidation and some of the officers even chuckled and so did the Iota-10 soldiers.
"Uh Bill sorry to interrupt but there's been another attack."
"Attack?"
"Oh yeah, our honest-to-god Mayor forgot to tell you that Grant's been taking animals off of the farms from the edge of town."
"Ok then everyone, get your guns, this time we got these FBI folks with us but uh keep an eye on them we don't want to be at fault if they get Lymes disease!"
"Oh haha! fucking ha!"
"Oh, right uh, your government boys need a ride?"
"No, we got a van, we'll meet you there."
"... so, this is what the attacks normally look like." Dr Wicked and Sheriff Bill were at the farm field of the latest attack. Both were watching an officer and an Iota-10 soldier examine the field with a large blood trail and dog corpses.
"Naw this is actually pretty decent compared to the last one, you see Grant used to cut up the cows and just take the stomach and sometimes the head too but now he's taking the whole body."
"Interesting, how uh, how do you think he does that?"
"... you know for a guy from the big cities you don't seem very spooked by this, aren't your government folks supposed to be rich clean freaks?"
"Uh, no, and for the record just because I work for the CDC doesn't mean I'm a clean freak, I just happen to know more about diseases that most people. it's my job after all, which is the exact reason I'm asking as much as I can."
"... uh, right sorry."
"it's fine, so uh, its normal for Grant to leave bits of the corpse of the dead livestock?"
"Yeah, guess he's starting to clean up."
"Hey Chief! I found another dog!" an officer in the tall grass then showed Bill, Wally and Dr. Wicked a mostly cleanly cut dog head.
"Oh god! put that down, numb nuts!"
"No wait! let me see that."
"You sure?! ok then." the officer then tossed the dog head to the ground in front of Dr. Wicked causing him to jump back.
"God damn it! I meant hand it to me you idiot!" Dr. Wicked glared at the officer while they just shrugged and walked off. Dr. Wicked then grunted and reluctantly picked up the dog head and started examining its neck.
"So, uh... you think he's gonna make it doc?" Dr. Wicked glared at Bill unamused while Bill who was smiling quickly stopped and remained silent.
"... jesus, look at this cut, it's almost clean! how do you think Grant could do this?"
"Well, I'll tell you what I do know, Grant absolutely hates dogs." Dr. Wicked again looked at Bill only this time more annoyed.
"I mean you know, because uh... this whole thing doesn't really strike me as the work of a dog lover..."
"Right..."
"Hey, bill the trail ends to the forest!"
"He dragged the whole damn cow in there, how does one man do that?"
"Uh we've heard reports that Grant was a uh... squid man, could you elaborate on that?"
"I'm gonna be honest doc I know just as much as you, I haven't seen Grant since he tried to kill Starla and that was when his arm got all stretched out and was waving everywhere like a noddle or something. His face was all messed up too, it looked like he was hit with a mix of poison ivy and some kind of cancer."
"So, he's mutating, that would explain how he's able to drag a whole cow, he's probably twice his original size now."
"Twice his... Doc, that's crazy."
"I've seen crazier."
"Shit... ok Wally! make some calls we need to get a posse ready, there's only one farm left that's close to the forest, we gonna get this son of a bitch tonight."
Dr. Wicked did not bother recording this moment as it was just the Sheriff Bill discussing the plan to capture Grant with his police officers and the local posse. Recording resumes after planning has ended.
"Alright everyone this ends tonight! lock and load!" Dr. Wicked then got on the phone and requested additional assistance form Epsilon-6 and two Epsilon-9 units. He made sure to inform them not to bother with disguises and just arm themselves. However, upon finishing his Call Starla showed up and started begging Bill to let her come. When Bill caved in Dr. Wicked quickly intervened.
"Wait a civilian?! no, no way, out of the question! we are not letting a civilian join our manhunt... squid hunt... we can't endanger a civilian! I'm sorry Ma'am but you need to leave!"
"doc its ok Starla is Grant's wife."
"All the more reason for them not to make contact, what if he's contagious?! do you want her to get infected?"
"look Mister! Grant is my husband! I promised him I would be by his side for better or worse! And if you want to stop me then your gonna have to shoot me!"
"... ok." Dr. Wicked then pulled out his pistol and pointed it right at Starla's head. Bill pulled out his pistol, but the MTF quickly drew their guns. in response the other officers and possie volunteers drew their weapons as well. They were quickly out gunned; However, Dr. Wicked did not stand down, in fact he had little reason too. Soon two more vans pulled in and out of both came out four Epsilon-6 Troopers in standard Military armor and a single Epsilon-9 flamethrower unit. The Epsilon 6 Troopers quickly surrounded everyone with their rifles ready to fire. Bill and the other officers and volunteers laid their guns on the ground and put their hands up.
Dr. Wicked smiled at their defeat but glared at Starla in disappointment when he saw that she wasn't budging. Instead, she put her hand on his gun and pointed it right on her forehead thus ensuring her own fate should Dr. Wicked pulled the trigger.
"Ain't no stuck-up government prick gonna keep me from helping my husband. So, either shoot or fuck off!" Dr. Wicked looked like he was actually going to pull the trigger for a moment, but he quickly pulled his gun up and sighed in annoyance.
"... Hm, of all places why did it have to be here?" Dr. Wicked then ordered the MTF's to stand down as he got into his Van without saying a single word.
Later that night the police force and volunteers as well as reinforcements from Iota-10, Epsilon-6, and two Epsilon-9's, there were all hiding around a field where a single cow was eating grass in piece. At one of the hiding spots Bill and Wally were watching in boredom while Starla and Dr. Wicked were sitting in the back Dr. Wicked was still very unhappy that Starla was there.
"So uh, Starla, are you in any medical profession or military at least?"
"Uh no, I'm actually a schoolteacher."
"... right."
"But uh, you're from the CDC so you can help Grant, right?"
"*sigh* ma'am, we are going to do whatever we can to find the source to Grant's sickness, contain it and hopefully find a cure for Grant, but um... I want you to be prepared should we need to find more... lethal methods to stopping the infection." Starla then looked at Dr. Wicked in fear while he continued to look at her in all seriousness.
"Hey Doc, come on. Why do you gotta say stupid shit like that?"
"I just think she should be prepared for the possibility that we may have to get more drastic in order to keep the safety of the public in check."
"Is that why you brought all these damn military soldiers, I mean come on what is this Afghanistan?"
"They're an extra safety measure, we know absolutely nothing about Grant's current situation, so we need to be prepared for any possible..."
"... Doc?" Dr. Wicked then pointed out to the field and then Starla, Bill, and Wally turned to see a heavily mutated Grant slithering his way toward the cow.
"G- Grant?"
"Ho. ly. shit."
"That is the most fucked up thing I have ever seen..."
"...meh, I've seen worse." Bill, Starla, and Wally then looked at Dr. Wicked in both confusion and Horror. Just then Grant killed the cow and started dragging its corpse away into the forest.
"Ok good he's on the move, I think we should follow his trail so that we can find his nest and hopefully the source of- where the fuck is she going?!" Bill and Wally then turned back to the field and saw that Starla was walking after Grant. The other policemen and troopers then left their hiding spots in confusion to which Bill and Dr. Wicked quickly ordered them all to follow her and Grant. It didn't take long for them all to stumble across another wide field in the forest and to which Starla cried out to Grant which surprisingly made him stop. Everyone then quickly surrounded Grant while Starla continued to talk to him.
"... its ok Grant, your just sick is all. your just sick." Some of the soldiers and police officers looked at each other wondering if Starla actually believed that or if she was just trying to comfort Grant.
"We got some people from the CDC! there here to get you the help you need." Starla then looked at Dr. Wicked and he looked at her frightened knowing that now he had to step forward. He was shaking the entire time but regardless he continued to walk toward forward and stand right by Starla.
"*gulp* uh, hello Grant. I am Dr. Zen of the CDE- ABC- bah! the- the CDC! Ahem! A- And believe it or not we seen cases like yours but believe me there are those that have got it way worse than you! um, regardless we learned a thing or two so if you just come with us then we can help you, we can build you a brand-new body. you just need to take Starla's hand and let her lead you to the biohazard debriefing station."
"that's right Grant, I'm gonna stay by you just like I swore I would! for better or worse!"
"Much fucking worse." Grant then growled at Bill, to which Dr. Wicked glared back at him in fearful frustration.
"Shut up! For the love of God!"
"Grant! marriage is a sacred bond, right baby?" Again, the soldiers then looked at each other in disgust wondering how Starla could say that to an abomination of flesh and tentacles. Grant then roared at them all and was about to leave but then one of the famers got in front of him.
"Stop right there, you son of a bitch!" Dr. Wicked then signaled two soldiers to stand by him and keep Grant from escaping.
"Now I don't care what kind of leprosy you got! We need to find that girl, so you can either make this peaceful or me and these boys will blow a hole in your tentacle ass." The two soldiers then looked at the farmer in disgust. Dr. Wicked noticed how aggravated Grant looked and panicked.
"Tranquilizers! Open fire!" the soldiers armed with tranquilizer guns then shot Grant in the back, but he just looked at them all in annoyance then he turned back to the farmer and two soldiers and then swung his tentacle at them. luckily one of the soldiers ducked in time but the famer and the other soldier weren't so lucky and instantly fell apart form being cut in two.
"FUCK! OPEN FIRE!"
"TAKE EM OUT!" just then everyone started shooting at Grant, but he slithered away, when he slithered by the one soldier that ducked the solder quickly tried to grab onto him. The soldier held on tight and pulled out his knife and started stabbing Grant. Grant quickly used his tentacles to throw him off and slice him up while in the air. the pieces of the soldier then went flying into the trees. The sight was horrific, but no one was stopping they were all chasing through the forest to get Grant once and for all. However, it was quite clear quickly they weren't making good progress. Grand was slithering extremely quickly, and in the woods, he was impossible to catch up to.
"Shit! activate the drones!" Two of the soldiers then stopped in place while two other soldiers reached in their backpacks and activated anomalous biohazard detection drones. They were new models and still experimental, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Thankfully the worked and were able to not only fly correctly but detect the anomalous mutations on Grant. The drones were pursuing him quickly and with the connected computer pads the soldiers were able to see what the drones saw. Bill saw the drones in the air and looked at Dr. Wicked who was right by him.
"Doc? what the hell are those things?"
"Their drones! It's a miracle they work since they're still in the experimental phase! We adapted them from the kinds of drones that the military uses!"
"Military! Doc what they hell are you using military tech for?!" Dr. Wicked then stopped running and held his hand in front of Bill to keep him still. Dr. Wicked then glared at Bill in disappointment.
"Sheriff Bill, the livestock of your town is dying, a woman is missing, and one of your citizen's named Grant has turned into a giant squid monster. do you really think using military tech is overkill right now?"
"... Fair enough..."
"Dr. Wicked! Over here!" Dr. Wicked and Bill then ran over to the where everyone else was and found them all huddled around an old shed where the drones were hovering in front of. One of the soldiers then walked up to Dr. Wicked and showed him a pad screen to see what the drone saw.
"It looks like theirs a large anomalous biological entity in that shed."
"Hey, I hear Brenda crying in there!"
"Interesting, that must mean we found the nest, either that or we found the source of Grant's mutations. which means he's probably mutating this Brenda right now."
"Uh, wait does that mean we could be mutated too if we go in the shed?"
"Only one way to find out, I'm afraid." Bill and his officers along with the MTF soldiers were now all filled with fear at the possibility of becoming an abomination like Grant. Bill then sneaked over to a soldier and nudged him in the shoulder.
"Alright you heard him, open it."
"Wha-?! me?! you open it!"
"Hey, your military, you should be prepared for this kind of shit."
"You're the sheriff! this is your deal, you open it!"
"Will one of you morons just open it!" both the soldier and Bill grunted; Bill then held out his hand to signal he wanted to play Rock, Paper, Scissors. The Soldier Agreed and they went on three with Bill giving Paper and the soldier going for Rock but quickly changing to Scissors.
"... you suck." Bill then grunted in annoyance and went over to the door of the shed. Bill looked back and all the officers and soldiers had their guns ready. Bill then quickly opened it and was the first to charge inside. However, he quickly stopped when he saw the state of Brenda.
"Somethings wrong with me!"
"... uh... yeah..."
"Oh my god!"
"Dear lord!"
"Ugh..."
"... Meh, I've seen worse." Everyone even his own soldiers looked at Dr. Wicked in either fear or annoyance.
"Sorry! sorry... it's become a habit of me to say that." Brenda's torso then moved which spooked everyone but then she just stayed still just as fast.
"Ok that's interesting. Hey Bill! go talk to her, keep her calm while I do a checkup." Bill then looked at Dr. Wicked in confusion.
"You sure doc? I'm no doctor but... I think, it might just be a cold."
"Just talk to her will you!"
"Bill? is that you? how's my boy? is he alright?"
"Oh uh, your boy is fine Brenda." Bill then walked up to Brenda to talk to her while Dr. Wicked walked to her side to examine her. He got out a handheld bio scanner to see what was going on with her internally.
"Ahem! So uh, what's... what's going on here... exactly?" Dr. Wicked then looked at Bill in disappointment while Bill just shrugged.
"I'm so fucking hungry Bill, I never knew anyone could be so hungry... could you uh, pass me a bit of that possums over there. just a little bit." Just as the mayor left the shed to puke. Dr. Wicked the managed to see that under Brenda's skin was thousands of slugs.
"Ok, I think we best get you to a hospital right quick."
"What the fuck are they supposed to do with her in a hospital, Bill?"
"Shut up. Doc can help her. Doc, you can help her, right?"
"Uh... no, we need to go!" just then Brenda started moving.
"Why is she doing that?!"
"Her torso is moving!"
"Doc do something!"
"there's nothing I can do! we need to go!" Brenda started moving even more.
"Someone, make her stop doing that shit!"
"Doc we are not leaving Brenda! Give her some penicillin or something!"
"penicil- OH MY GOD LISTEN TO ME! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SLUG LIKE PARASITES ROAMING AROUND INSIDE HER AND THEY ARE GOING TO BURST OUT OF HER AND CRAWL RIGHT UP OUR ASSHOLES IF WE DON'T GET OUT OF HERE NOW!"
"... what?" just then Brenda's flesh started tearing up.
"AAAH! THE FUCKERS ARE TEARING ME APART!"
"Oh, fuck it. I tried to warn them." Dr. Wicked then ran for the barn door and quickly closed it.
"BURN IT DOWN!" then the two Epsilon-9 units started their flame throwers and lit the barn up while the other troopers backed up and were ready to fire. however, it was too late, the slugs burst the door down and quickly overwhelmed everyone. Though of course not right away some of the soldiers managed to keep standing long enough to shoot a few of the slugs but in the end most of the soldiers were overwhelmed.
Then whoever was left heard Bill shout, "cover your mouth!" and most listened instantly though others didn't need to since their mouths were already covered by helmets and mouth guards. in the end the slugs left and the only ones not infected were the Mayor, Starla, Bill, Margaret, Dr. Wicked, and five soldiers.
"Ugh! they tried to get into my mouth! pfft! what kind of thing wants you to eat it?!"
"a parasite that's what, be thankful it didn't get you." Bill left the shed and confronted Dr. Wicked while filled with frustration and annoyance.
"*cough, cough* ugh... hey yeah- by the way thanks for the help doc! Yeah, you're a regular saint ain't ya!"
"oh, stuff a sock in it! I told you there was nothing I could do, if you would have just listened to me and ran, we would have burned this barn down by now and no one would have been infected by those parasites." Bill then calmed down for he couldn't deny that Dr. Wicked was correct. However, he didn't blame himself either since no sane person would have believed that Brenda would have exploded into a thousand parasite like slugs, yet it did happen. However, what caught Bill's attention the most was how Dr. Wicked only seemed a little annoyed but not as scared as everyone else given the Nightmare that just happened.
"You... You know Doc, you act like you know these things, do you know what this is, please say yes."
"... no, I've never encountered anything like this just worse."
"Worse?! god damn it you keep saying that! You mean there's stuff like this happening in other places?!"
"that's all I can say, so just use your imagination." Dr. Wicked then walked to one of the dead MTF's and administered a strange syringe into him. Dr. Wicked then looked at the other MTF's and just shook his head to which they all looked frustrated.
"... fuck... ok, Shelby, Shelby come in... Shelby come in! ... shit! I can't contact the station."
"Allow me, checkpoint 1 come in we have a biohazard breach... checkpoint 1 come in... checkpoint 2 can you hear me... checkpoint 2 respond! damn it we're too deep in the forest we need to get back to town to get a clearer signal."
"Hey, wait doc, what about your and our guys? we can't just leave them here."
"We don't even know what's happening to them and even if we did, we don't have the proper equipment to help them. The best thing we can do is get back to town and radio back up."
"Alright fine, but I'm comin with you."
"that's fair, the rest of you should stay here, you four, I want you to stay behind and keep them safe, as for you come with us and watch our backs in case Grant ambushes us. Alright then let's move out."
Dr. Wicked, Bill, and the Epsilon-6 soldier were walking through the forest. All of them quite shaken and ready to get out of the forest given the horrible experience they both witnessed and experienced. the soldier was especially on edge wondering if one of those slugs were going to ambush one of them again.
the soldier's paranoia ended up being justified when he heard something roaming around the forest. Bill pulled out his pistol and Dr. Wicked did the same, the three of them then huddled together with their guns all pointed our ready to shoot at anything that shows up. Then suddenly an entity then jumped out of the bushes and all three of them jumped back with Dr. Wicked giving off a high-pitched screaming. The three of them pointed their guns at the entity only for it to just be a simple deer.
"Oh..."
"Huh... she's a beauty..."
"Yeah... he, nice reaction their Doc."
"Oh, shut up, for all you know it could have been Grant." now that the three were calm they looked at the Deer as it peacefully walked away. For a moment it was like the nightmare had ended. Then they were reminded of the nightmare when a slug slid on the deer and entered its mouth forcing it to fall into a comatose state.
"Ugh! god damn it, Grant! you killed the beauty of nature!"
"Shit we can't let these worms get into the town. come on let's pick up the pace!" Dr. Wicked grunted and followed Bill but then the Epsilon-6 soldier grabbed Dr. Wicked's hand to hold him back.
"Sir, its more than likely the parasites have made it into the town and if they do its extremely likely that all infected hosts will become anomalous variants of Grant. shouldn't we consider this town lost?"
"... of course, its lost, that's why we're trying to contact the Checkpoint bases to get us and the remaining civilians out of here so we can blow this city to oblivion before the entity gets out."
"Oh, uh, of course sir."
"Don't worry, we know its parasite-based pathogen anomaly now and the parasites aren't microscopic meaning we have viable evidence that we aren't infected. The Foundation won't abandon us, not with all the data we collected. As for the civilians... well in normal circumstances they would be expendable but I'm as not heartless as the O5, so let's at least try to save who we can."
The Following is another recording from one of the soldier's assisting the civilians with the infected hosts. The following audio is added for context in future events of the recording.
"Hey, are they still alive?" after checking their pulse, Starla nodded to confirm.
"Praise Jesus."
"Praise Jesus?! All of this shit is as far from God as the devil himself, I never seen this kind of shit before! and I watch Animal planet!" The MTF soldiers started laughing a little to which the mayor looked at them annoyed.
"Well glad to know you boys are still having fun!" The MTF soldiers were dragging the bodies and putting them closely together. Starla noticed this and was confused.
"Um excuse me, I think it would be better if we keep them farther apart." the MTF looked at Starla for a little bit and then just ignored her and went to getting another body.
"Hey! We need to give them space!" Starla tried to stop one of the MTF soldiers, but he just shook his arm out of her grasp and continued to ignore her. The Mayor and Margaret then got one of the bodies out of the barn, the MTF soldiers quickly just pushed them out of the way and took it to put it close to the others.
"Ha?! You see that! These government folks don't care if we fall so long as they get what they want! I bet you their gonna try to turn Grant into some kind of weapon! I saw that in a movie once! government folks' are always doing stupid shit like that! not me though, I'm like one of the people you know? I tell you what when all this shit ends, I'm gonna sue that CDC doctor! you'll help me right Margret?! I don't care that you're a Lesbo, we all gotta stand together against these corrupt cock suckers!" Once the MTF's were done they looked at the mayor, who looked scared at first but then flipped them off. The MTF's just ignored him and focused on the bodies again.
Starla couldn't help but look at the MTF's in anger as they just ignored the people around them. Starla was then shocked to see one of the MTF's grab a flame thrower form the body of an Epsilon-9 soldier. He then armed it and pointed it at the bodies while the others stood back, He didn't ignite but the sight still shocked Starla.
"Hey! what are you doing?"
"it's just a precautious measure ma'am."
"Ha! see! I told you government folks are bad news! their trying to erase the evidence of this even happening! you not gonna erase us cock suckers!" The mayor then tried to lift up his rifle but one of the MTF's proved to be faster by pulling out their own pistol and shot the rifle out of the mayor's grip.
"Ah! ... uh... ok I surrender."
"*sigh* I already said it's a precaution. We don't know what the parasites are doing to them. If push comes to shove, we need to be ready to face whatever the parasites have in store, even burn the bodies if we must."
"And let me tell you, keeping the hosts alive is normally not a good sign."
"You don't even know if the parasites are killing them!"
"Trust me, I would prefer they did do that, but as I said keeping the host still being alive is a really bad sign. we're not actually going to burn them if we don't have too but we need to be prepared."
"Prefer they kill them?! what kind of soldiers are you?! aren't you supposed to protect civilians?!"
"Look man'am humanity's survival is our priority! But frankly, if we have to burn a few people to ensure this. then we will do it without hesitation!" Starla was now furious with the MTF's and tried to walk towards one to push him away. However, the MTF with the flamethrower pointed it right at her, making Starla stop in her tracks.
"No single life is above the survival of all humanity, not your friends and most certainly not you!"
"He... hey! ... hey!" Starla and the MTF unit felt chills up their spine as they heard Wally start talking. Wally then raised himself up and started standing up while his body was standing crooked and flimsy like something that wasn't familiar with his body was possessing him.
"You... You outta watch... where you point a weapon like that... especially when you point it at someone's wife..."
"Wally? You, ok? You don't look so good."
"I don't think that's the Wally you know." suddenly the others started rising up as well quickly surrounding everyone and two even grabbed Margret.
"Listen... sugar plum..." suddenly there were all now talking at once.
"I'm sorry for scaring you earlier like that... I just... nature calls you know? ... and this... is my nature now... I know it's a lot to take in... but just so you know... I never stopped thinking about you... but sometimes... you gotta do what you gotta do..." The Wally host then spat at Margaret, she started screaming in pain as her neck started swelling up, then she died due to the massive inflammation.
"Oh my god!"
"Jesus Christ!"
"Grant! if that's really you then please stop baby! just stop!"
"Sugar plum this is who I am! ... I can't stop this, and neither can you! ... but why would you want to anyways? you said it yourself... marriage is a sacred bond... for better or worse... are you saying... now that you've seen my worst... you want me gone?!" several of the hosts started hissing and roaring to show the acid building up in their mouths. one or two of them even started laughing thinking they had all the power. However, the MTF soldiers still had their guns and flamethrower but also made it clear to the hosts when they raised them up. The hosts only had enough time to make react in fear before being torched and shot down by the MTFs. The only host left was Wally, the MTFs were about to fire on him but Starla got a shotgun and aimed it at him instead.
"You... You bitch! ... you think you can stop me! ... no one can stop me! ... besides, admit it! ... your nothing without me! ... I gave you a comfortable life and this is how you repay me! ... I am your husband! ... sacred bond my ass! ... you just like take and take-" Starla then stop the Wally host in the head. In response the parasite slug crawled out of the head and started fleeing. one of the MTFs saw where it was going and quickly jumped after it, grabbing it before it could escape.
The MTF then struggled to keep the slug still while another MTF grabbed a biohazard sample bag and opened it up. after they got it bagged, they both took a deep breath; thankful that they got a sample and that it didn't manage to escape or infect them.
"Alright we got a sample! now let's get out of here before the situation gets worse."
"Worse? most of my police force is dead, Brenda turned into a goddamn balloon filled with parasite slugs, and those slugs are turning people into Grant talking zombies! How the hell could it possibly get worse?!" as if one que, several straggler slugs started slithering form the woods and right towards them.
"Shit! Run!" The MTF with the flamethrower blazed the ground to cut off the slugs and quickly ran with everyone else before the slugs started going around the flames. Every so often he scorched trees and bushes with flames to keep the slugs off their trail.
The MTF's recording from this point was unintelligible due to all the running and fire blocking out their voices. The following audio is back to Dr. Wicked, Sheriff Bill, and the MTF soldier for clear context.
"Hey, is that drone working yet?"
"Uh no sir, I think we pushed it over its limit, it was a prototype."
"I tell you Doc, I still don't know why the CDC has military tech but right now I certainly ain't complaining. I just wish we had more."
"don't worry Sheriff, once we get into contact with the Biohazard Checkpoints, we'll be able to call in reinforcements, tell them what happened here so they can come prepared, then contain this whole nightmare while we get out."
"Wait, get out? Doc, don't you want to help these people?"
"I work better in a lab than on the field, besides we need all the help we can get to contain this thing before it spreads. Frankly I think myself to be WAY too under equipped for this situation. But hey, if you wanna stay and fight this head on without the proper equipment then by all means go for it." Bill was annoyed by how cold and logical Dr. Wicked was, but he had nothing to say in response. It was true, they were massively unprepared for what Grant had in store for them. Also, Bill didn't really want to admit it, but he also wanted to leave and just let the CDC handle this mess. Now that they were out of the three of them started running while Bill was trying his radio and Dr. Wicked was trying his. However, they were still too far away from town to get anything.
Then suddenly Dr. Wicked managed to contact Checkpoint 2 since they were at the edge of town.
"This is Biohazard Checkpoint 2, who the hell is this?!"
"This is Dr. Wicked! Requesting immediate assistance now! Sent out a request for MTF Lambda-12 to be deployed with Chi-7 on standby! As well as three evacuation vehicles with a medical team! I have survivors and MTF forces incapacitated by an unknown parasitic pathogen!"
"Ah! damn it, burn them! Sorry sir, but that request might be delayed! We're being overrun by an unknown swarm of slugs! they have a crimson blood texture and no visible sensory organs!"
"What?! Those are the parasites! Don't let them in your mouth! Repeat do not let them into your mouth! ... hello? Hello?! Damn it, I can't reach them anymore! How they hell did the slugs get that far so fast!"
"Shit they probably already hit the town! come one Doc, pick up the pace!" Bill then ran towards Otis's house with the MTF soldier and Dr. Wicked following him. Suddenly they heard yelling and screaming coming from the front of the house. Bill ran up to the house and saw Otis and his family attacking their own car.
"Hey! hey, what's going on?! what the hell are you all doing?!" Kylie then ran out of the truck and right towards Sheriff Bill.
"Whoa, easy, easy."
"Hey! are you alright? your covered in boils! did those slugs get you?!"
"Oh hey Doc... this... no, no... this must be poison ivy... from out back I recon."
"Ok, that's defiantly not normal."
"No don't listen to them! they're not my parents! The worms are in their brains!" Dr. Wicked and Bill looked at each other in fear, they then looked at Otis and his family and sure enough. They were not moving or acting normal, like they were possessed. Both Dr. Wicked and Bill knew that Kylie was right about the worms but that didn't make them any less afraid.
"Shit... uh ok! you guys stay right there! Kylie's going to come with me! And uh... I'm gonna get you folks paramedic!" Dr. Wicked glared at Bill in disappointment as it was clearly not convincing the infected hosts. Bill noticed Dr. Wicked's glare and just shrugged since he couldn't think of anything better to say.
"Hey there Killer!" Suddenly another Host showed up with a shovel ready to strike down Bill, but thankfully the MTF soldier behind Bill noticed this and shot him down. The host was on his knees and filled with holes but was still twitching as if the Worm was trying to maintain control.
"Starla's... my woman... you prick..." the host then died but before anyone could react, another host ambushed the MTF and tried to steal his gun. However, the soldier managed to shake off the host and shoot him too. Dr. Wicked then got out his pistol and Bill did the same and they started shooting as many of the hosts as they could. However, Bill started to hesitate as Kylie's family was getting closer, then he had to dodge when one of the little girls spat the bio acid. Dr. Wicked then had to dodge as well with the hosts getting closer.
"Damn it, there's too many of them! We gotta get out of here now!"
"Our vehicles are right there! come on haul ass!" Dr. Wicked, Bill, Kylie, and the MTF soldier then ran toward the Foundation van and Bill's car. After clumsily getting over the fence, Bill got Kylie in his car while standing outside and shooting at more Hosts. Dr. Wicked and the MTF soldier did the same for their van to hold the Hosts off as much as possible.
"Sheriff! Just get in and get us out of here!"
"My friends are still out there! we can't just leave them!"
"Uh, but I guess we can wait for them to come to us!" Dr. Wicked then pointed at Starla, Jack and the other three MTF's running form a several hosts.
"God damn it! what the hell is going on?!" Bill then got in his car after barely managing to dodge several acid spits. Dr. Wicked saw that one of the running MTF's had a captured parasite and ordered them to quickly get to the Van. With the Host's closing in and surrounding them Dr. Wicked was cut off from the van and went to Bill's car instead.
"Sir, hold on we'll clear a way for you!"
"Negative! get that sample and get the hell out of here! go now!" The MTF units all went into the van and just barely managed to dodge the acid spits. The Van then drove off but not before hitting a Host that was attacking Jack. As the van passed by it stopped and opened a door and an MTF soldier got out to let Starla in. However, she instead grabbed his gun and shot several Hosts and even the Host the van hit several times while screaming in anger. All while Jack, Bill, Dr, Wicked, Kylie, and all the MTF soldiers watched in both horror and amazement.
After Starla unloaded the entire clip on a single Host, she took a deep breath and handed the gun back to the MTF soldier who fearfully took it. The MTF then pushed her away and shot down another Host trying to ambush them. The van then drove off and Starla helped Jack up and got into Bill's car. They then drove off as the remaining Hosts chased after them.
Bill drove his police car, with Starla in the front seat, Kylie and Jack in the back and Dr. Wicked uncomfortable sitting in-between them. Nobody really said anything because they were all still coping with the fact that the towns folk were now all zombies possessed by bloody slugs.
"so... How's everybody's evening. Good?"
"What. Do you think?"
"... I'm just trying to stay positive Doc." Dr. Wicked just groaned in annoyance, he then saw the MTF van in front of them and got his radio out.
"All remaining Units, this is Dr. Wicked, can you read me? Over."
"We read you sir. What are our orders? Over."
"Get to Biohazard Checkpoint 1 and send that sample to the Foundation as soon as possible. Don't wait up on us we will catch up with you. Over."
"Sir, shouldn't we turn around and head to Biohazard Checkpoint 2? Over."
"Negative Checkpoint 2 has been compromised, head to Checkpoint 1 and hurry. Over and out!" Now that Bill was calm, he could think more clearly and remembered about Shelby. He quickly got his own radio and called her.
"Shelby... Shelby you there?"
"Hey Chief how you doin?" Everyone then sighed in relief except for Dr. Wicked for he forgot who Shelby was.
"Shelby, have you seen these uh... well I don't know what to call them, just these big red slugs that are really fast."
"uh no... no slugs, but your mamma called. she said the toilet is backed up again."
"Shelby, I need you to listen to me we-"
"She says it's because of your accident last Sunday."
"... Alright I need you to get the CDC on the horn for me, ok? tell them we got Dr. Wicked with-"
"The CDC?! Just tell her to get the hell out of there!"
"wha? But Doc what about the-"
"Bill! tell her to evacuate and to get as many people as she can to do the same! Tell them to get to the road leading out of town they'll find Biohazard Checkpoint 1. tell her that now."
"Ok, ok! Shelby listen up, scratch that call to the CDC, go home get your stuff and get the hell out of town. tell anyone you come across to do the same! ... Shelby, are you nodding?"
"Oh, uh yeah, I'll get too it. you want me to stay in contact?"
"Yes, Shelby just get out of there and please pick up my mom, ok?"
"she's gonna be mad that you're ignoring the toilet issue."
"... Shelby just do it." Bill then put down the radio and noticed everyone looking at him.
"Uh... my mom has a tree in the front yard it, it messes with the sewage line. you know how it is."
"Sheriff Bill, we have bigger issues, let's just get out of here and let the reinforcements take care of it... but seriously CDC, pfft! what the hell could they do." Jack, Bill, and Starla then looked at Dr. Wicked with concern and confusion.
"... What?"
"Aren't- Aren't you from the CDC?" Dr. Wicked's eyes widened for he just realized he messed up and revealed something
"Uh... about that..."
"Oh god damn it..."
"This better be fucking good..."
"*sigh* ok I guess you have all seen enough to not get shocked anymore so fuck it. I'm not from the CDC, I'm actually a researcher that works for an organization called the SCP foundation. We secure, we contain, and we protect anomalous entities and objects that interfere with the normalcy of everyday life... kinda like what's happening right now."
"... What is that why you keep saying you've seen worse? Because you quite literally seen worse?!"
"so, wait you fucker's deal with this shit on a regular basis yet even you don't know what they fuck this is?!"
"Every anomaly is different Mayor! it's kinda why their called anomalies! because they don't make sense when compared to our standards of normalcy and understanding of the laws of physics. Ahem! As far as we could tell, the worst thing about this anomaly was that there was a squid person roaming around I personally thought it was a Sarkic cultist but no, apparently it's worse than that."
"Sarkic cultist?"
"Never mind! Look, the point is that we failed at first attempt capture but its ok! Once we get to Checkpoint 1, we can deliver the sample and info we've catalogued and have MTF Lambda-12 and Chi-7 forces contain this mess and get you all to safety."
"You won't be safe... not from him..." Dr. Wicked, Jack, Bill, and Starla were now looking at Kylie in concern and fear.
"I was him... part of him..."
"Who? Kylie, who?"
"Grant, Starla's husband." Dr. Wicked, Bill, and Jack then looked at Starla in shock.
"Wait now that I think about it those acid spitting freaks were talking to Starla like they were Grant when they woke up."
"Hey Bill, didn't one of the Hosts tell you that Starla was his woman?"
"Yeah, right after calling me a Prick... just like Grant would. So wait, Kylie, are you saying all these worms are connected to Grant?"
"Yeah, but he wasn't always Grant. His real face looks like a needle, and he comes from." Kylie then starts shaking out of fear as she pointed to the sky.
"Wait, are you saying it's a god damn Martian?"
"Martians are from mars, Jack."
"It's a general term meaning outer space, fucker."
"No, it ain't!"
"Look it up cocksucker!"
"Both you idiots shut up!" Dr. Wicked growled at them both; Bill and Jack just grunted as they remained silent.
"... and for the record Martian is not a general term at all... also Martians don't look like that." Bill and Jack then looked at Dr. Wicked again in confusion.
"Ahem, anyways Kylie please continue, you're saying this needle creature is what's causing Grant's anomalous state and it's from outer space?"
"He goes from place to place, entire worlds and planets... killing them. Some he gets pregnant, others he infects with his worms, and the rest he eats. He doesn't stop till their gone. That's why we're not safe, he's been doing this for centuries across hundreds of worlds. He won't stop hunting us down till we are either pregnant, infected, or his food."
"So, all the worms are connected? Like their all one big deal?"
"They're a conscious disease..."
"And Grant is right at the center." Dr. Wicked then checked his audio recorder to see if it was getting all of this and sighed in relief with it was.
"I see, thank you Kylie, with this information the MTF's and researchers will be able to stop this thing."
"No, you don't understand. He gets stronger the more he infects and eats. If you want to stop him, you need to rip him apart or even burn him!"
"Ok... them we'll do that." Kylie couldn't understand how Dr. Wicked was so calm considering he just experienced the same nightmare they did.
"Hm, if there's anything to admire about the Foundation it's that we're persistent bastards. Regardless of how dangerous it is we don't stop until its contained."
"Doc, I don't mean to be critical here but maybe it would be better to kill this think instead of containing it." Starla looked at Bill fearful.
"Ah, well I mean... "
"If it comes down to it Sheriff, we might just do that. However, it's always better to at least try to contain the unknown first so that you can study it. Can't properly kill something until you know how it works first." Dr. Wicked then noticed Starla seeming increasingly depressed he then leaned forward to place his hand on her shoulder.
"Containment is only the first step once we understand this monster, we will know how to deal with it. If it's possible to save your husband, we will be the first to know and the first to help." Starla actually smiled and thanked Dr. Wicked, they weren't on good terms at first but now that they were in this mess together it seemed only fitting that they rely on each other more.
"GAH! GOD DAMN IT!"
"Ah!"
"Jack what the hell is it?!"
"God damn it there's no Mr. Pib!" Starla, Bill, and Kylie sighed in relief while Dr. Wicked glared at Jack in seething rage.
"I fucking told your secretary to pack a Mr. Pib! God damn it!" Dr. Wicked then smacked Jack on the back of the head.
"Ah! you cock sucker!"
"Shut up you idiot! We have bigger things to worry about!"
"Ok everyone, calm down! We're at the edge of town everything's going to be ok!" Starla smiled at first but as they got close everyone saw the town sign covered in slugs.
"God damn it there here too." Dr. Wicked then got on his radio to contact Checkpoint 1.
"Hey! This is Dr. Wicked did you boys get the sample out of here? Over?"
"Dr. Wicked? yes, we got the sample but- ah! God damn it!"
"What is it? what's wrong?!"
"Sir we managed to seal ourselves at Checkpoint 1, but the base is currently surrounded by parasites! We already sent a request for appropriate MTF reinforcements, but we don't know how long it will take!"
"Damn it!"
"Sir, you should know, after we reported our situation... a proposal was made to incinerate the town."
"What?!"
"Sir, the infection is spreading too fast. Higher ups are getting scared and thinking it would be better to cut our losses. Sir if you have anything left to, I recommend you do it now and get the hell out of here! Shit, Hosts are coming everyone get ready for a breach!"
"Hey, wait did Shelby and my mom get there?!"
"Uh wait, Checkpoint 1, did any civilians make it out of the town?"
"What?! uh, no! no Sir! No civilians have left the town! Shit! Sorry sir I need to help reinforce the door!"
"Ok! We'll be passing you by soon keep us posted! *sigh* Damn it... Sorry Bill."
"God damn it, what the hell is that girl doing?" Bill then got his radio to contact Shelby.
"Shelby where are you? For the love of god, please don't tell me you forgot to bring your radio."
"Welcome back... Killer..." Chills went up everyone's spine, they were too late, the parasite have got everyone; they were now the only ones left.
"Grant you son of a bitch!"
"don't be like that killer... after all... I got a surprise for the lot of you... right around the corner!"
"What? what the hell are-" Suddenly the truck rammed into the forcing them to crash.
The Recorder is undamaged, but nothing can clearly be heard other than muffled groaning, glass breaking, and screaming. It takes a few minutes before the recording could properly resume.
"Ugh... damn it." Dr. Wicked's vision was still faded but as he got his seat belt off, his vision cleared only for him to see Jack and Starla getting dragged away.
"Oh shit!" Kylie screamed as more hosts tried to grab them, Dr. Wicked then pulled out his pistol and shot several of them allowing Kylie and himself to escape. Dr. Wicked saw that Bill who also managed to escape they covered one another as they got out of the area. Unfortunately, the host numbers were growing, and they had to leave while the hosts, grabbed Starla and Jack. Bill and Dr. Wicked escorted Kylie into the woods where they were out of sight of the hosts and hopefully the worms too.
"Ah... God, damn it the worms beat us here."
"... Fuck, we need to get out of here as soon as possible."
"What? What about Starla and Jack?"
"Bill look around you! They might as well be dead." Bill did as Dr. Wicked asked and sure enough he saw several dead bodies being dragged away by hosts. The entire town was quickly being deserted, leaving nothing but dead bodies and hosts. However, Bill's gaze fell onto the police station, and he quickly remembered the grenade he left.
"Doc, how much ammo you got?"
"Only one clip left, why?"
"I got a grenade back at the police station, right over there. I say you and me, get it. If we kill Grant this whole mess will end."
"...Ok, theoretically that could work but frankly we don't have the forces to get such an operation done. Sheriff Bill, for our safety and the safety of this civilian we need to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Doc, Starla is still out there and I'm not going to leave her. Leave if you want but I'm staying and I'm killing Grant! You wanna leave, then take Kylie with you and get the hell out of here."
"No. No way, Bill. Grant killed my family, if your gonna kill him I wanna help." Bill and Kylie then looked at Dr. Wicked as he looked at both of them shocked then his expression changed to disappointed defeat.
"Ugh... fine, as a Foundation staff member I'm obligated to at least try to minimize casualties when I can. So, I will help."
"Heh, you make it sound like casualties happen all the time at your workplace." Dr. Wicked continued to look at Bill in disappointment. Soon Bill's smile turned to a look of regret when he realized his joke was actually right on the money.
"Uh. Sorry."
"No need to be sorry, like everyone else at the Foundation I've practically become numb to it." Dr. Wicked just made his statement so casually only to see the shock and fear in Bill's and Kylie's faces.
"*sigh* IN ANY CASE, let's just get the grenade and be done with this suicide mission shall we."
"Hey, come on Doc, don't call it like that."
"I call it what it is." Dr. Wicked just walked out onto the street and headed toward the police station while watching out for wandering hosts. Bill just sighed and followed him, telling Kylie to stay there in case they were to be ambushed. Thankfully it doesn't take long before Bill and Dr. Wicked made it to the police station. Bill went right to the radio that Shelby operated and tried to call for local reinforcements. However, Dr. Wicked quickly shut down the radio.
"Wha-? Doc what are you doing?"
"Sheriff Bill, the purpose of our foundation is to maintain normalcy. We Secure, Contain, and Protect the Anomalous. Now we can't do any of that if more people know about what's going on."
"Wha- Doc, come on! we need to get some help here."
"Foundation reinforcements are already on their way let them be the ones to handle this."
"Doc, no offense but your boys don't sound like their doing well, I would rather-" Dr. Wicked then pulled out his pistol and aimed it right at Bill.
"Sheriff Bill, I have legal right to execute any civilian I deem a threat to the work of the Foundation, I don't want to kill you, but I will if I have to." Bill then raised his hands to show surrender but quickly grabbed onto Dr. Wicked's arms and got his pistol. Or at least that would have happened, instead Bill was having a lot of trouble actually overpowering Dr. Wicked. Dr. Wicked proved to be very strong and was looking at Bill unimpressed as he tried but failed to get the gun out of his hand. Dr. Wicked then just shocked off Bill's grip, Bill looked up at Dr. Wicked in fear and just made a piece sigh to show he surrendered.
"... ugh... hold on." Dr. Wicked then got out his radio and contacted Checkpoint 1.
"Hey, are you boys still alive or am I talking to Grant now?"
"Uh Grant? no Sir, this is Checkpoint 1. The slugs and hosts retreated and are going back into the Town. Where are you Sir?"
"I'm still in the town, look we think we have a way to stop the entity and in order to prevent this situation form getting worse were going forward with the plan now."
"What?! Sir the request to incinerate the town was denied but that doesn't make this plan of yours any less dangerous! Please just take the civilians and get out of there! Lambda-12 forces are on their way!"
"Then tell them to pick up the pace, cause one way or another this ends tonight. over and out." Dr. Wicked then cut off his radio and gave Bill a hand to get up.
"Thanks Doc, it does feel good to know you believe in me."
"I don't believe in you, in fact I'm sure your either going to get eaten or get impregnated by Grant. Fucking Christ, I can't believe I just said that, ahem! However, I need to observe whatever I can of the entity, and I believe following you on your suicide plan might lead to the best results. And to comfort you please be aware that I will protect Kylie and get her out of here after Grant has killed you horribly."
"... Doc have your friends ever told you that your great at inspirational speeches because I really think-"
"Shut up and get the Grenade."
"Yup, on it." Bill then went for the weapon's locker and reached for the locker for Gernade after unlocking it. However, before he could actually grab it, he heard strange chewing noises, Bill looked to his left to see a host deer eating a corpse on the floor.
"Bill what the hell is taking so lo-!" Dr. Wicked then saw the host deer and at the same time it noticed the two of them and growled. Dr. Wicked then pat Bill on the shoulder as if to comfort him.
"You got this Sheriff."
"What?" Dr. Wicked then quickly ran off as the Deer quickly pounced on Bill and started biting him.
"Gah! God! Doc, help me!"
"Don't worry Bill I'll tell Starla and Kylie you were brave!"
"Doc for fuck's sake get this god damn deer off of me!"
"Ugh, fine!" Dr. Wicked was about to get his pistol but knew better than to waist the ammo. Instead, Dr. Wicked got on the host deer and tried chocking it while punching its face. The host deer was clearly getting hurt but its anger managed to cloud the pain and it shock of Dr. Wicked. The host deer then walked over to Dr. Wicked and growled in anger.
"*sigh* this is what I get for trying to help someone." The host deer then pounced onto Dr. Wicked and started biting into his chest. Dr. Wicked grunted in frustration while trying to get the deer off of him. Bill noticed as he got up that Dr. Wicked strangely didn't seem to be in actual pain, he was just angry the host deer was on him and was trying to get it off. Bill tried to help him, but the host deer sensed him and quickly used its hind legs to kick him in the stomach. Now Bill was in pain on the ground while Dr. Wicked was getting attacked by the host deer.
"Hey, mother fucker!" the host deer then looked up to see Kylie with a fire extinguisher, she quickly rammed it right into the host deer's face, smashing its head in and killing it instantly. Kylie then quickly helped Dr. Wicked and Bill up.
"Ah... thank you."
"We have to move, when one of them sees us they all do." Bill then quickly grabbed the grenade form the weapons locker and reloaded his pistol with new ammo.
"Ok, come on."
After managing to dodge several hosts and getting out of sight they managed to find an area to lay low. However, they quickly noticed that on the other side of a fence there was some survivors being killed by hosts with the bio acid and then getting dragged away.
"Kylie. Sweetheart, don't look."
"God, what are we gonna do if we can't kill Grant."
"Die horribly and get eaten."
"That's awfully negative."
"Well, it's been that kind of day. Doc can attest to that." Dr. Wicked looked at Bill for only a second before looking away back to the hosts.
"By the way, thanks for saving us form the deer. But for the record, when I tell that story it's gonna be me saving you." Kylie just scoffed while Dr. Wicked noticed the hosts who were dragging the last of the bodies.
"Hey, their taking all the bodies to the exact same direction."
"Wait, I know where they're going, they're going to Grant's house. That must be where Starla's at."
"You really care for her huh?" Dr. Wicked and Bill then looked at Kylie.
"Grant could see it, it's why he hates you so much. He knows you two used to dream of going to Hollywood together when you were young. But you couldn't do it so neither could Starla. But even after you drifted apart, Grant could see the way you looked at her."
"... yeah... I abandoned her once I won't do it again, that's for god damn sure."
"Bill, as touching as that is, are we actually doing this because you really believe a grenade of all things will actually kill Grant, or is this just a desperate attempt to save the woman you love because if it is-"
"Doc... look, I know you think I'm an idiot. But this son of a bitch parasite turned Grant into a monster that killed my friends and is fucking up my town. Of course, this is desperate, but it's all I got. I'm sorry Doc but I ain't gonna wait for your boys to get their asses over here. I'm ending this tonight or die trying. besides, you said you'd protect Kylie and Starla if I died right?"
"... heh, alright then, Sheriff Bill. Let's go get this son of a bitch."
Though it too some time Dr. Wicked, Bill, and Kylie managed to get to the outskirts of Grant's house where several hosts were wandering around like guards. Dr. Wicked was making sure to observe as much as he could about their behavior.
"Look that's where their gathering the food for the Wombs." Kylie then pointed at the back door of the house where several hosts were dragging the dead bodies into.
"Wombs?"
"The people Grant gets pregnant to make more worms."
"Shit so the cycle is already starting. If we're going to do this, we need to hurry."
"What the hell... is that?" Bill pointed out another door where a large amount of flesh was practically leaking out.
"That's how Grant eats, while most of the worms go out finding more meat, others get absorbed into Grant to make him stronger." Just then a fat man walked up to the flesh blob, got naked, and started sinking into the flesh as it started fusing its flesh with his.
"Now that... is some fucked up shit... let me guess doc you've seen worse?" Bill then looked to Dr. Wicked only to be quite shocked to see that he was actually close to throwing up.
"... nope... this is about as bad as it gets." Bill almost laughed at the sight but then he saw Starla inside.
"there's Starla! she's alive! I'm going in."
"What, that's it? You're just going in? you're not going to come up with a plan first?"
"I got a plan, Kill Grant and save Starla." Bill then ran ahead leaving Dr. Wicked and Kylie alone there.
"... We could just leave him and wait for Foundation reinforcements." Kylie looked at Dr. Wicked in disappointment and held her hand out. Dr. Wicked knew what this meant, he groaned and gave her a spare gun he found at the police station. Dr. Wicked and Kylie closely followed Bill but almost immediately was separated from him due to wandering host guards. Then the both of them heard gun shots indicating that Bill was under attack. Kylie was about to run to help but was grabbed by a host, thankfully her quick reflexes allowed her to shoot the host before it could spit on her.
Dr. Wicked sighed as he pushed Kylie forward to catch up with Bill while he covered her by shooting any host trying to ambush them. Finally, then managed to catch up to Grant at the front of the house and quickly entered. However, upon entering the house Bill was stopped by a mutated Jack.
"Kill me! please for the love of God, kill me!"
"Oh, stop being such a baby!" Dr. Wicked then grabbed out another vile, a similar one he used on the dead MTF's earlier and injected it into Jack. Suddenly he started feeling better and the large growth on his neck started shrinking.
"Ah! so, it works on Wombs, that's good to know."
"Doc what the hell was that?"
"An experimental drug that's meant to reverse the effects of extreme biological mutation."
"Why didn't you use that on my friends?"
"I tried but it didn't work. I guess, I guess parasites are immune to the medicine. Anyways Jack you might feel some side effects such as headaches, rashes, flaky skin-" Jack then barfed on Dr. Wicked's face a large amount of white substance.
"... Nausea, but besides that you should be ok." As Dr. Wicked wiped his face, the four of them heard Starla screaming. Bill was the first to run toward the noise with Kylie following him, Dr Wicked was about to follow but Jack stopped him.
"Hey, didn't your boys earlier say that they were gonna blow up the town? let's just get out of here!"
"Now someone agrees with me? Look Jack, the house is surrounded by hosts so if you wanna leave I'm not going to stop you but don't be surprised if you get a face full of acid." Dr. Wicked then ran after Bill and Kylie, Jack grunted and decided to follow as well. The four of them then showed up to the living room of the house to see a heavily mutated Grant. With several hosts infused with his biomass.
"Dear god!"
"Yup, this is definitely as bad as it gets." Bill then noticed that Grant was using one of his large tentacles to strangle Starla. In response he raised the grenade to show Grant he meant business.
"Alright Grant let her go!"
"What the- Bill! Just throw the Grenade!"
"Don't worry Doc I got this-" Then one of Grant's tentacles slapped the Grenade out Bill's hand. The Grenade landed behind a couch and unfortunately the pin was already pulled.
"Shit!" Bill then went right after the Grenade.
"Goddamn it, help me cover him!" Kylie and Dr. Wicked started shooting at Grant in hopes it would stall for time so that Bill could get the grenade before it explodes. However, it wasn't long before the both of them ran out of ammo. Grant then slapped Dr. Wicked into a wall; Starla tried to get away but was slashed on the face by Grant's tentacles. Grant was about to slash Kylie in two, but Jack pushed her out of the way and got slashed himself.
"Oh, goddamn it! I just saved him!"
"Hey I got it!" Bill got the Grenade and Grant saw this, so he tried to slash him with his tentacle. Dr. Wicked saw this and tried to save Bill by jumping in the way hoping that Bill would use that last second to throw the Grenade. However, Grant proved to be too fast and slapped them both through the window and out of the house. Bill ended up losing the Grenade again and it went off right inside the pool. Dr. Wicked and Bill looked at each other with Bill looking defeated and Dr. Wicked having disappointment written all over his face.
"Nice plan there, Sheriff."
"As if you had any better ideas."
"I wanted to wait for help! but no! Let's jump in and fight against the psychotic obsessive asshole of a husband that was possessed by a planet conquering parasite! I mean seriously how could this possibly get any worse!" As if on que, Bill and Dr. Wicked heard the groans of hundreds of hosts surrounding the house. Then to make matters worse Grant unleashed his womb tentacles and one stabbed Bill in the stomach. before the other one could stab him, Bill managed to catch it in time. Dr. Wicked quickly helped him pull it away, Dr. Wicked even started grunting in frustration as he tried to tear the tentacle apart. Bill then noticed the propane tank next to Dr. Wicked.
"Doc! The tank!" Dr. Wicked looked at Bill confused, then looked to where Bill was pointing and saw the propane tank.
"The gas! Fill Grant with the gas!" Dr. Wicked then did as Bill asked and forced the tentacle toward the tank and stabbed it into the opening releasing the gas. Dr. Wicked then set the propane tank on full release, it was now pumping gas into Grant. Dr. Wicked tried to grab the tentacle stabbing bill and find a place to stab it into the propane tank as well. However, Grant quickly started retracting the tentacles which dragged them both back into the house.
"Starla shoot!" Dr. Wicked then noticed that Starla was holding Bill's pistol, the one he dropped after Grant slapped away the Grenade. Dr. Wicked realized they were dangerously close to the explosion and quickly shielded Bill from the incoming explosion. Then, after a second of hesitation, Starla shot Grant and the gas in his body ignited causing him to explode and all the hosts and infected wombs to die. Just like that, it was over, the nightmare was finally over, and the only ones left alive were Starla, Kylie, Bill, and Dr. Wicked. Dr. Wicked had flames on his back because of the explosion but he quickly rolled away from Bill and landed on his back, extinguishing the flames instantly.
"Ugh... Nice plan there, Sheriff."
"Haha... told you it would work."
"Bill are you ok?" Starla then ran over to bill to help him up and get the tentacle out of him.
"That depends on whether or not this tentacle did its job."
"Both have to be in, Grant needs to stab you with both tentacles or else it won't work."
"Well Hala-fucking-luya!" Kylie then helped Dr. Wicked up and Starla helped Bill up and they all got out of the house only to see it surrounded by dead bodies.
"... I was kinda hoping they would all be ok after we killed Grant."
"We can't save everyone; you'll get used to it."
"we'll get used to it? what do you mean by that?"
"Well, thanks to my proposal getting approved. I have the pleasure to ask you three an important question. You have all witness firsthand an anomalous attack and helped prevent its damage from spreading, now under Foundation protocol you will be given two options. First you can get your memories wiped by Foundation Amnestic and live completely normal lives in new towns with new families without ever knowing any of this happened in the first place. Or you can take the second choice where you join the Foundation and help us fight and contain anomalous threats like this one. I know it's a big choice but at the Foundation we either need people like you to help us or forget we ever existed. But for now, it's entirely your choice." Bill, Starla, and Kylie looked at each other unsure of what to do since both options were so drastic.
"So, you're saying we can either keep fighting stuff out our nightmares for the government or forget all this shit happened and let the government get away with it regardless?"
"Well technically we are above the government. Look, I know this stuff is insane but its thanks to you three that this anomaly didn't spread father. I'm not saying it will always be this easy but frankly the Foundation is the best chance humanity has to maintain its normalcy. Without the Foundation, there would be chaos, destruction, and death everywhere. But not everyone would want to know that so again if you think you can't handle it then just follow me and we'll get your memories wiped and relocated."
"What if we say no to both?"
"... Then we'll chose for you. I know its harsh, but I don't make the rules. I only write proposals and hope they get approved. kinda like the proposal I made that allows me to even ask this question... normally the Foundation would just erase all your memories forcefully and get it over with." Again, Bill looked back at Kylie and Starla, Starla looked back at the house that she and Grant lived. Starla was still depressed over it, but she knew she'd rather die than forget what happened here; Starla nodded at Bill. Kylie had already lost her family and it really weight on her heart, but she would be lying if this whole experience was an adrenaline rush. Besides, if she could help the Foundation improve and prevent this from happening to anyone else, she was all for it, so she nodded as well. Bill was actually surprised to see the two of them agree to it but he just sighed and looked at Dr. Wicked with a smile of determination.
"We're in."
"Heh, then let's head over to Checkpoint 1 and get debriefed, a research and cleanup team will be deployed afterwards to take care of this mess." Bill almost stumbled so Dr. Wicked quickly helped him up while the four of them walked toward Checkpoint 1.
"Oh! Kylie, why don't you tell Starla how I saved you from that deer?"
"Oh yeah... Bill saved me form a deer... that's the story."
"What? that's not true, the host deer nearly killed Bill and me, Kylie was the one who saved us."
"What the- Doc!"
"What? that's the truth."
"Ugh, for fucks sake."
"What?! Bill for crying out loud, what did I say?"
End Log
End Note: Though the subjugation of SCP-AAA was a success Dr. Wicked was still reprimanded for his rash decisions, and thus was punished to [data expunged] for three months. After wards he was given back his level 5 Clerance and [data expunged] class status. The Survivors Bill, Starla, and Kylie were then processed into the Foundation and underwent standard Foundation training alighted with their desired workplace and expertise.
Bill was processed into Foundation security and works alongside Dr. Wicked as a bodyguard. Due to Dr. Wicked's line of work Bill was given standard training for the MTF Alpha-1: Red Right Hand.
Starla originally had undergone training as a field researcher. However, upon learning about the Fire Suppression Department she became a researcher there. She hopes to one day work her way up to the Ethics committee. After five months of service, she and Bill got married with Dr. Wicked reluctantly marrying them off.
Kylie has only recently completed her training as a field researcher. Thanks to her exposure to SCP-AAA her mind has expanded allowing her to recall and absorbed more knowledge than the average human. As such, she has been given [data expunged] class status the same as [data expunged]. she works as a trustworthy and hardworking field researcher and thanks to her improved combat training she works especially well in missions alongside the MTF.
The proposal that was referred to in Addendum X-1 was created by Dr. Wicked and called the "Sole Survivor Protocol" which states: "should a civilian survive an encounter with an anomalous entity and assist the Foundation in its containment or destruction. That civilian should be given the chose to either be Amnestied with a new life or to put their luck, talent, and services to assisting the Foundation." Through heavy debate amount the O5 council and Ethics committee, the proposal was eventually approved and made an official Foundation protocol.
