Chapter 36 - Neutralization logs

Scp 1025 has escaped from site 17 going off radar for a supposed "vacation" with 953, 191, 166, 105, and 053. The 05 council didn't expect expect 1025 to return 3 days later with all the other scps with their own souvenirs. When asked about what happened, 1025 replied that they just went for a stress relief vacation in Tokyo, Japan... And that he taught 105, 166, 953 magic while also dismantling the majority of the Yakuza's operations in the area as well as confronting scp 2085. The trip has several impacts on the other scps but they're generally positive changes. 105 and 191 no longer shows any signs of sadness or depression. 166 and 053 are now allowed outside of their cells with their anomalous properties neutralized by 1025's special clothing so long as there are 2 guards watching them. 953 doesn't have the need to eat liver anymore and instead switched to a diet of high-end sushi/sashimi or 1025's cooking and has been friendlier with site personnel though still somewhat cold. After seeing the results, the 05 council decided that 1025 is to interact with more problematic scps to neutralize them.

Neutralization log #1 (096)

Scp 1025 enters 096's chamber while blindfolded wearing the suit it wore on vacation and the door was soon sealed afterwards with concrete to be safe. Right after that, 096's scream could be heard from outside as it started wailing and clawing violently with 1025 constantly cursing over the deafening screech. No footages were provided but based on the sounds coming from the chamber, it is inferred that 1025 has used fire, earth and lightning along with extra help. Whether this was scp 1025-2 is yet to be decided. The conflict goes on for another 4 hours until 096's scream escalated on a louder scale before going completely silent. Knocking could then be heard from within 096's room and personnel started removing the concrete blocking the door. Scp 1025 walked out with multiple injuries of fractured bones that seems to be rebuilding themselves using some kind of white dust coming from inside the room. Further inspection showed that the dust was in fact converted from 096's remains. When asked to describe how 1025 terminated 096, the answer was the following. "You may already realize it but its weakness or more accurately, its lifeline was its bones. The bone marrow was what kept it alive and by getting rid of it, 096 was no more. It would've been easier if we have 173 consistently snapping its neck but after putting a lot of effort, i was able to create enough force to fracture the spine. Then it was just a matter of time before it bleeds out." The termination attempt was a success.

Neutralization log#2 (049)

Scp 1025 enters the room and draws the attention of 049.

049: Interesting... you have the pestilence yet it is subjugated within you.

1025: really now?... actually can someone get a d class in here, i have something to test.

Later on D-54237 was brought into the cell which was lead to face 049 by 1025.

049: It seems he has the pestilence within, i'll rid you of it.

1025 then lifts a hand up as it started to glow green before the green light then passes onto D-54327. D-54327 doesn't seems to feel anything or be affected by the occurrence and continues to back away from 049. Suddenly 049 stops in its tracks and looks at D-54327 again. It looks at him up and forth before turning back to 1025.

049: How? How... did you cure him of the pestilence?

1025: While i may not be able to see the pestilence itself, i deducted that it was to some extent a disease/ailment. So i used... let's call it magic, to cast a spell that would cure most diseases. It seems the pestilence can't resist such technique.

049: Marvelous, could you perhaps teach me of such method?

1025: Sure, give me a few minutes for preparation.

After the interactions, 1025 then taught 049 magic (similar to how he did with 166, 105 and 953 according 1025's description). scp 049 now no longer shows any hostile behavior towards personnel and would occasionally cast the "spell" on staff passing by. scp 049-2 is also no longer manifested. scp 049 after 4 weeks of good behavior has been reclassed to safe and has permission to frequent facility under the watch of 1 mtf squad. Further testing of the "spell" shows that 1025 and 049 together were able to neutralize scp 008

Neutralization log#3 (scp 610)

During a discussion concerning scp 610 and its chance to spread, the 05 council decided that it's best if they can neutralize it. Several napalms runs were made across the area containing scp 610. Despite how the bombardment killed a lot of entities, they keep being replaced one by one rising up from the ground. A theory was made that maybe scp 610 has a leader or a hive underground. Bunker buster was an option but given how it lacks the firepower of napalms it wouldn't deal much damage to core. As a result, scp 1025 was asked to deal with the threat. Scp 1025 refused to take any aircrafts provided by the Foundation and instead summons scp 1025-3 (a giant stone dragon 1025 refers to as Sparky) to ride to Russia. Because of how devastating the conflict would be, no visual recording devices are deemed durable enough and instead scp 1025 only brought audio recording devices with him. During the arrival at the site, scp 1025 sounded to be talking to something, presumably more summons. However, these summons are different from other instances of scp 1025 given how "they" made a combination of metal clanking and wings flapping. Shortly after the summons taken actions, loud wailing of agony could be heard coming from below as the earth trembles. Scp 1025 described itself falling into a deep chasm where new variations of 610 were discovered yet 1025 seemed to have known the new entities referring to a lot of different names such as "cultist priest" "polyp" "flesh hound" "mammoth cyst" "shuffling horror" "formless flesh" and 'heart of darkness" (darkest dungeon reference if you didn't get it). The audio then extends for 2 hours of 1025 and his summons burning the hostile entities before they encounter the "heart of darkness". Surprisingly, a human voice called out at the start of the encounter saying "Behold the heart of the world! Progenitor of life, father and mother, alpha and omega! Our creator... and our destroyer." Judging how loud the sounds of the abominations were, experts estimated it to be at least twice the size of 682. An all out battle broke out as the entity started consuming scp 1025's summons if the crunching of metals were any indications. Scp 1025 sounded enraged by the deaths of his summons and yelled "MEGA THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK!" A booming explosion occurred and corrupted the remainder of the audio recording. Later on, the extraction team spotted scp 1025 approximately 17km from the eastern walls surrounding scp 610. He was covered from head to toe in charred smoking flesh with his suit burned to ashes revealing only his skeletal frame left. The area where scp 610 used to be was nothing but a crater at this point. After scp 1025 went through decontamination and got another suit, site personnel tried to ask him more about what happened to which he replied "lovecraftian horrors, it's best that you don't know." The termination attempt was successful.

Neutralization log#4 (scp 106)

Scp 106 was lured to the femur breaker room via the use of a D class where scp 1025 was waiting. After scp 106 killed the D class, it turned its decayed head to scp 1025 who and i quote "don't give a shit" about scp 106. The sadistic old man who feeds on the fears of other was of course provoked by scp 1025's words and proceeded to drag him into the pocket dimension. Unusually, scp 1025 didn't fight back and went into the pocket dimension willingly. There were no signs of any scps for the next 5 hours and site personnel were starting to go on alert. After the 6 hour mark, a black hole appeared on the ground of the cafeteria as security got ready to recontain 106. To everyone's shock the what crawled out of the portal wasn't 106 but 1025 instead. According to 1025, he also possesses the ability to drag people into his own dimension that he manipulates, in doing that he had somehow killed 106 using its own trick. The exact method of killing 106 wasn't specified as 1025 remarked that "i showed him one of my worst nightmares... Now the old man knows what it's like to be gangbanged by 2 'ascended' demigods." 4 days after the interaction and there were still no signs of 106 thus it was reclassed to neutralized. The termination attempt was successful.

Neutralization log#5 (scp 682)

As a suggestion by Dr Bright, scp 1025 is to attempt "fighting 682". Scp 1025 takes scp 053 with him to 682's chamber while scp is wearing one of 1025's special cloaks. Scp 682 seems confused at 053's arrival and even more so at the cloak. Instead of being in a docile state like before, it leaped and landed in front of both 1025 and 053 but that only made 053 excited with 1025 being indifferent.

682: What are you doing back here you pathetic sack of flesh.

053: I wanted to see mr lizard again

1025: i don't have flesh. Also be nice to her before i send you to the shadow realm.

682 laughs loudly at 1025's threat and whipped its tail at 053. 1025 created a blue translucent barrier around both him and 053 shielding them from the attack that would've easily crushed concrete.

1025: Don't say that i didn't warn you. 053 why don't you play with this plushie, me and mr lizard needs to have a private chat.

1025 then hands 053 a plushie of a small shiba inu before snapping his fingers and disappearing along 682. This was deemed as 1025's use of his pocket dimension so no alerts were raised. Some staff even went in 682's room to keep 053's company while 1025 was busy doing whatever it was to 682. Instead of 6 hours like it was with 106, 1025 abruptly materialized with 682 again in only 3 hours. Staff that were in the room quickly evacuated and observed the damage dealt to 682. What's odd was that 682 didn't have any visible wounds yet it acted as if it was in great pain. Scp 682 also appeared to have became docile.

682: No...more...please

1025: Start playing with her or i'm sending you back for 2 more sessions.

682: You monster!

1025: said the child of the scarlet king, destroyer of worlds.

Then came the ridiculous scene of 682 attempting to play hopscotch with 053 with actual effort put into it while occasionally glancing fearfully at 1025. This continued for another 90 minutes before 053 and 1025 are called back to their respective rooms. 682 breathed a sigh of relief when 1025 exited its chamber before looking at the camera within the room. It almost sounded like a whimper when 682 spoke "never let him near me AGAIN!" before 682 dived back into its acid pool and curled up. The 05 council was baffled at 1025's ability to strike fear into the hard headed genocidal lizard and asked him of what on Earth did he do. 1025's answer was "I accelerated time within the pocket dimension so that 3 hours out here was actually 3 days inside. Knowing how 682 is immune to physical pain, i hit him with abstract pain instead. While trapping 682 in an empty void where 682 won't be able to move, i then showed him various 'cursed' things that would make any sane person goes crazy. To be honest, those things are still out there on the internet and it's best that i don't reveal what it is, who knows how many researchers will tear their eyes out when they witness such heresy." (exact details of what Yosif did was hit 682 with as many lewd version of itself that he could find while also hitting it with furries bullshit in general. For the finishing blow, Yosif warped the entirety of the mindscape into bazingas, if you want to know what that horror looks like then try searching Youtube "a bazinga in time".)

[Back to Yosif's pov]

Maybe i went a little too far with 682, he probaly didn't deserve half of it. I guess in a sense he's still a child compared to the scarlet king so did i technically bullied a child? Eh i'm pretty sure there wouldn't be any karmic impacts for doing that. Though what hell has gotten Edmund so worked up lately, he seems like he hasn't slept in days.

Me: Hey Edmund what's bothering you, while do you look so stressed?

Edmund: H-huh? Oh nothing Yosif it's just an scp that i can't put my finger on, the whole place is an enigma.

Me: Maybe i'll know something about it, what number is it?

Edmund: It's 1730 otherwise known as site 13, we have already lost contact with several teams exploring the place. It's a scp facility but according to our files, it shouldn't exist until much later in Alaska yet here it is in the middle of the desert with plants native to Alaska surrounding it.

Me: WHAT! Wait... Has mtf tau-5 been sent there yet?

Edmund: Yea we just dispatched them but... how did you know?

Me: extensive knowledge remember? You just sent them to their doom. Notify the 05 council, i'm going there myself. There's a lot of shit in there that needs to cleaned and i'm making sure of it.
