Do you really have to go Mr. Freelancer?

Yep. Summoners are in high demand right now. I'm needed elsewhere.

But your leg is still broken.

I'll manage. I've got an arch pixie by my side now. So if I could please have my equipment back, I'll be out of your hair.

Here are your things. As well as our copy of the incident report. We can transport you to Rockwell. We coordinated with your supervisor to arrange further transport from there.

(Chief Wesker handed Lance his bag containing his things.)

[Lance began rifling through his things. He pulled out the holsters and jars, putting on. He stopped to look at the report.]

Why bother printing this many pages of black bars? Waste of paper an' ink.

[He put them back and returned to his rifling. Next he pulled out a compass and eyed it with suspicion. Watching the needle turn. He pocketed it.]

Yep this is almost everything. Except my gun. Where is it?

That nightmare of a shotgun has been destroyed, with the approval of your supervisor.

Director Thelion! Hey, how are you doing? <3 This is Director Queen of Site-49. I'm wondering why you haven't been returning my calls? As well as the fact that I believe I've heard some rather... Concerning news about the status of one my ex-hatters? </3 It's rather rude you know.

@unit13theluckiestnumber

Okay, listen. This? This little back and forth? I'm done. Stop calling me about Unit-13. I have enough to deal with as it is. I do not need you adding onto it more.

I have every right to inquire about them. Need I remind you, before they were ever in your possession, they were mine. Especially when I’m hearing rumors that a certain somebody- not naming any names- MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE.

[She pauses after her mild outburst, taking a breath as she quickly attempts to pivot back to her pleasant mask,]

I apologize for the frequency and the… Intensity of my questioning, but I assure you it’s simply because I care about that girl and her team. The lack of communication and updates is frustrating, I’m sure you understand. </3

...Look, you know what? I get it. But I can't keep taking these calls. I'm in over my head. But you keep this up and you're gonna stop me from getting a more vital call in time. Like a warning that the psycho is headed this way.

And, no, your crazy nutjob, they weren't yours. If anything, them being yours makes you responsible for him. So get off my line. Next time you call me, you're getting routed to Lucy. And if she gets sick of you, I'm routing you to Catherine next.

Hah- You're that fed up with me that you'd direct me to LUCY?! </3 That's, again, rather rude but. Oh well. If you insist.

Also now hold on a second. That isn't how this works, necessarily. While I admit, he did many things that, in hindsight, never should have remotely been allowed... I was led to believe that he would correct those behaviors and transgressions over time. He was rather competent and efficient, after all. Eagerly so. I trusted that he would learn to adapt and stop being such a prick. I promise you, if I had known just how bad things would've gotten, I'm sure I would have nipped him right in the bud sooner. </3

I suppose I will not take up any more your precious time on this matter for now, then. Perhaps toning down the frequency of my calls. Oh! And if you see that girl sometime, please let her know I wish her and her sis- sorry, brother all the best. <3

(Dead silence. Followed by a click.)

Director Thelion would prefer you no longer discuss this matter with him.

Site-19, this is Minerva with the Global Occult Coalition. I'm contacting you regarding the status of my operative, codename Lance. I require a report from him about what happened the other day. I'd also like a copy of the Foundation's report regarding the incident. Particularly where my operative was involved. As well as an ETA on his release.

Hi, yeah, Sorry for the delay. Once our medical staff have cleared him, we'll have him sent back your way. Yes, with all his demons and everything...except for that gun that one of our gunsmiths refuses to hand over. Ethics Committee is siding with him. This is a nightmare. We have our report ready, it's redacted to heck and back and I can't do anything about it, so keep that in mind. It'll be sent with him when we let him go. ETA...I have no idea and our head doctor refuses to let him go till all his injuries are healed, which apparently are pretty bad. He's alive, breathing, and talking, if that helps. No, we're not interrogating him. We'll keep you posted on his recovery. Anything else?

Believe me, you're doing us a favor getting rid of that horror. And if it's possible, erase his memories of how he smithed that gun so he can't make a new one.

Oh if only amnestics were that precise. Then I could forget how much paperwork this has caused me to go through. ugh...

Coffee, Sir?

Espresso. Triple shot. Please.

Right away, sir.

...Thank you so much, Lucy, Uggh....

No one on our end authorized this. Lance just enjoys doing volunteer work.

#unfortunatelycompitent || grant thelion #minerva.txt

Fantastic. Well, admittedly, it's a good thing he did. If he hadn't, that thing would probably have caused a nuclear incident, given how much damage it did after he stepped in and slowed it down.

What are ten Scips u guys house?

Site-19 houses a wide variety of Anomalous Entities, including SCP-173, SCP-096, SCP-079, SCP-049, Several instances of SCP-963, as well as multiple components of SCP-82653. We also house many anomalous individuals under the Domestic Containment Program, and have begun to construct indoor facilities to enable their proper housing, with SCP-2446 being the most prominent and first to be properly inducted into the program. Beyond this, I am not at liberty to share without the Director's approval, and he was very clear that he not be disturbed on his day off.

[Penn had made it to the local grocery store, immediately trying to be as quick as possible as he went over to the liquor section. He would immediately glance over every type of alcohol before focusing on the wine. He’d grab a few bottles before going to the counter and purchasing them. He’d have carefully chosen a variety of cheap wines just in case he picked one that Gwen wasn’t fond of… Though honestly she probably doesn’t care at all. His plan was to get in and get out as soon as possible- And then immediately this was up-ended by him immediately bumping into a person on the way out the door.]

Apologies- I was not looking where I was-

[He makes sure the wine is unharmed, still holding onto the bag with a protective grip, as he then pauses when he sees the person in front of him.]

Nah, you're good- I wasn't lookin' either-

[The person frantically apologizes for their own transgression of also not paying that much attention to who might've been in front of them,]

... Hey, I don't think I've seen you around much-

[They start to walk over to the side of the store, the man following them over so they both don't block the way inside.]

You new in town or like. Just not very social?

The latter.

[The person seems taken aback by the bluntness of the response, caught a bit off guard. They then just nod,]

Huh. Okay, anyway- I'm Shelby, nice to meet you. ^^

[They hold out their hand to have the man shake it.]

I'm Penn.

[He looks at his hands and the bag of various wines he is currently protecting as if his life depended on it, before looking back to Shelby's extended hand.]

...

... Right- Uh. Sorry, Anyway. ... Those are some pretty neat-looking headphones. You listening to anything interesting right now?

I'm listening to Bear Ghost Invents the Podcast Episode 12, in which they discuss their cover of Paranoid Android.

... What?

... Woah?!

That's... Really cool???

[They sound kind of unsure, but they probably mean it genuinely. Probably.]

The main point of the episode, and by extension the podcast, is to discuss the process of how they made their covers as well as their original songs.

The way they discuss this amuses me.

I also enjoy their original music. Although this has gotten me banned from providing music recommendations at certain gatherings with my friends.

[He would then pause, seemingly to become self-aware of how much he's talking and how overwhelming it seemed to be to receive all of this information at once,]

... I am sorry if this is too much.

-!

[They frantically try to reassure Penn that they were, in fact, interested. It seems they were genuine before.]

No, no! You're good- This sounds pretty cool actually. ^^ ... You seem pretty cool, too, Penn.

Shelby? You got every-

(Site Director Grant Thelion, on his day off, turned the corner in the market, immediately making eye contact with Penn.)

Oh, hey dad- I uh. I got a little distracted. I've been talking with this guy. ^^

[They gesture to Penn, attempting to introduce them to their father.]

His name's Penn. We've been talking about a podcast he's into.

... Hello.

[He simply responds, also making eye contact right back at Grant for a moment before glancing back to Shelby.]

We just kinda ran into each other. He was leaving and yknow. I talked with him and he's pretty chill.

[They pause, and then seem to suddenly realise something, looking at Penn,]

... Right!- You've just been entertaining me and talkin' with me and I've been keeping you from getting home with your uh- groceries- o ^ o"

... Unless, you know, you wanna keep talking- I'm not really in any rush, I think?-

[They look over at their father.]

#no strings attached || penn #relativelynormal || Shelby #unfortunatelycompitent || grant thelion

No, no, um, I'm sure you'll...see your friend again later, so it's probably best to...let him get going. Cause...he needs to get going, right?

(He looked at Penn, almost pleadingly.)
