The SCP Foundation

Chapter 53: SCP-348

The truck had arrived in the site, just for the general to check on SCP-2006 before containing him before recontaining him in his respective facility. General Brooks and Captain Polonskaya were waiting in the field until the truck had arrived and the group's helicopter.

"Alright, seems that they didn't waste any time..." the general looked at her watch. "Man, I'm beat, but least Hayley's doing the work for me."

"Ma'am, you do know that your clone wouldn't last forever, da?" the captain asked her superior, to which she was surprised.

"Huh?" the general reacted. "What do you mean by that, captain?"

"Well, if a living subject has been cloned by SCP-038, it would only last two weeks." the captain explained. "That means, you have ten more days with her..."

"Wait, what?" the general asked. "No, that can't be!"

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but that's just what the file says." the captain answered. "We can't do anything about it."

"I don't want her to go..." the general hung her head. "We've spent so much time together..."

"Ma'am, you literally treat her as a cover for you to procrastinate on your work..." the captain reminded.

"Even so, captain... she's like a twin sister I wish I had!" the general replied. "I want you to do something about it!"

"Ma'am, as I said... I couldn't do anything about it..." the captain answered. "You should just accept the facts and leave them be..."

"Isn't there some sort of SCP that can... I dunno... make people younger or something?" the general asked. "There's gotta be, right?"

"There is... but it's highly classified..." the captain answered.

"What is it?"

"SCP-006..."

"And... how do we get to it?"

"We don't."

"What?" the general asked. "Why not?"

"The only way anyone can get access to it is to get an approval from the O5 Council themselves." the captain explained. "And knowing you, ma'am, with all due respect, I don't think they like your procrastination..."

"Really?" the general asked. "They care that much?"

"Yes, ma'am..." the captain nodded.

"Shit..." the general cursed.

The two then noticed the arrival of the group's helicopter and the truck currently withholding the SCP.

"Finally, they're here..." the general said.

The truck had stopped in front of the two, then the two soldiers had gotten out and saluted to them. The captain saluted back, for herself and the general.

"At ease..." the general told the two. "Anyways... you caught SCP-2006 for us?"

"Yes, ma'am." the driver of the truck answered. "He's right inside here."

"Okay, good." the general responded. "Let me see him first before you two bring him back to the facility."

"Yes, ma'am."

The two soldiers went over to the back of the truck, with the two officers following behind them. The driver of the truck had unlocked the doors with his key and the two soldiers opened the doors.

"BOO!"

"AAH!"

At the sudden scare, the general had jumped out of fright and was now being carried by the captain, who was slightly frightened.
