INT. SCP FOUNDATION - CLASS-D DORMITORIES

The scene opens with all 11 Loud siblings, Clyde, Bart, and Milhouse in their orange Class-D uniforms, crammed into a single briefing room.

LINCOLN LOUD:
(rubbing his temples)
"After a giant flesh ship, a digital dog stalker, and that freaky sea object, now they want me to—what?—interview Cain?"

LORI LOUD:
"You better not screw this up, Lincoln. I swear if I get reassigned to another SCP bloodbath, I'm gonna lose it."

LUNA LOUD:
"Righteous, bro. Guy's cursed but chill, yeah? Play your cards right."

CLYDE McBRIDE:
"Just don't die. My mom will ground me into next year if you do."


MAIN PLOT: LINCOLN VS. SCP-073 (CAIN)

INT. CONTAINMENT CELL - SCP-073

Lincoln walks into a plain, minimalistic room. Sitting in the center is a calm, muscular man with glowing inscriptions in ancient languages carved into his arms and face.

SCP-073 (CAIN):
"Ah, another lamb sent to ask questions. Come, sit."

LINCOLN:
"Uh... hi. I'm Lincoln. I guess I'm supposed to... interview you?"

CAIN:
"And here I thought I was the cursed one."

They both chuckle—awkwardly.

LINCOLN:
"So, you can't touch plants, right?"

CAIN:
"If you want to call triggering plant-wide decay with a single touch 'can't,' sure."

Lincoln flinches. Cain notices.

CAIN:
"Relax, child. I'm not here to hurt you. I've accepted my fate. You, however—you're a spark in a pile of ashes."

LINCOLN:
"Well... that's poetic... and kinda depressing."


SIDE-PLOT 1: CARTMAN'S CHAOS

INT. SCP-682 CONTAINMENT - TEST ROOM 14

Cartman stands proudly in a lab coat. Butters wears a padded Class-D suit, holding a rolled-up newspaper.

CARTMAN:
"Go on, Butters! Give the big lizard a tummy rub! We'll tame this bastard like a puppy!"

BUTTERS:
"I-I dunno, Eric... this don't feel right—"

SCP-682 ROARS and launches itself toward Butters. He yelps and grabs the nearest SCP crate and tosses it blindly—inside is SCP-409.

RESEARCHER:
"OH GOD—409?! THAT'S—!"

SCP-682 screeches in pain as crystal growths begin erupting across its skin.

CARTMAN:
"Wait... wait! Did we just f*ing hurt 682?!"

RESEARCHER:
"Yes. Butters, you idiot—you might've actually found a weakness!"

The O5 Council watches via camera. One O5 leans to another.

O5-3:
"...Promote him again?"

O5-5:
"Why not. Chaos seems to work."


SIDE-PLOT 2: LOLA BOA IN HEAVEN

EXT. CARTOONY CLOUD HEAVEN

Lola Boa slithers up a gold cloud staircase, wide-eyed. Suddenly, she's greeted by... DEATH from Family Guy.

DEATH:
"Sup. You're dead. But you got options."

LOLA BOA (Spanish accent):
"I got eaten by a ship with teeth, amigo. Ain't that a little overkill?"

DEATH:
"Pass 7 trials, you get your scaly butt back on Earth. Deal?"

LOLA BOA:
"Let's roll."


SIDE-PLOT 3: LAWSUITS AND MONSTERS

INT. FOUNDATION COURTROOM

Clyde Donovan, in a suit two sizes too big, points an accusing finger at Lena Saberwing.

CLYDE DONOVAN:
"You illegally contained my mom—Magica De Spell! That's maternal cruelty!"

LENA:
"She tried to turn the guards into toads! I did the world a favor!"

Webby Vanderquack interrupts, holding documents.

WEBBY:
"Actually, under Article 9 of Cross-Entity Containment, Magica's fair game."

ERIC CARTMAN (now in Researcher uniform):
"And you can't sue the Foundation anyway. It's literally above international law, dumbass."

SUDDENLY—alarms blare.

INTERCOM:
"Warning: SCP-5031 has entered courtroom sector. Repeat, SCP-5031 is loose."

A horrific yet childlike "murder monster" with culinary flair stumbles in... and offers a plate of perfectly cooked steak.

ERIC CARTMAN:
"...Did it just serve me dinner?"

CLYDE DONOVAN:
"I'm dropping the lawsuit."


BACK TO LINCOLN AND CAIN

CAIN:
"You wear too much burden for a boy. Maybe someday you'll let go of the weight."

LINCOLN:
"I don't have time to let go. Not while there's monsters trying to kill everyone."

CAIN:
"...You remind me of someone. Long ago."

A pause. The containment door opens. Lincoln turns to leave.

CAIN (softly):
"Good luck, little spark."

LINCOLN:
"...Thanks, Cain."


INT. OBSERVATION ROOM

Leni, Lucy, Lisa, and Luan watch Lincoln walk out, shaken but safe.

LISA:
"Curious. Cain displayed unusually calm behavior. Lincoln must've made a meaningful impact."

LUNA:
"Yeah! Go, bro!"

LORI:
"...God, I need coffee."
