A young girl was walking down an alleyway at night. She had fair skin, medium length black hair, and was wearing a white summer dress. She didn't seem to be of any rush, despite her vulnerable situation.
"Was it this way?" the girl asked herself. "Or... was it... this way?"
The girl had continued to walk through the alleyway in order to find her way through the city. She continued to walk past a section of the alleyway, which was currently occupied by a small group of criminals. The criminals looked at the girl, and one of them called out to her.
"Hey!"
"Huh?"
The small group of criminals looked at her, with one of them moving closer to the girl.
"You shouldn't be out here at this time of night, little girl..." the man said to the girl. "It gets dangerous around here..."
"Umm... no... I think I'm fine being by myself."
"How naive you are, little girl..." the man persisted. "Come on, let us take you back to where you live."
"N-No... I'm... I'm okay."
"Come on, at least let us help you." the man flashed a sinister grin on his face, then grabbed the girl's wrist. "Now, let's take you back."
"No! Leave me alone!"
The man struggled with the young girl, who then proceeded to kick the man away from her. She gained a bit of distance from him, which angered the man.
"You're a troublesome girl..." the man said, with the other criminals standing behind him. "Someone ought to put you in your place."
The criminals proceeded to equip their knives, which were concealed in their outfits. The girl took a few steps back, but the criminals moved closer.
"You should've come with us..." the man said to the girl. "It would've made things a lot easier."
"That's enough! I'm tired of people like you!"
Something then materialised behind the girl, which made the criminals uneasy. Behind the girl was a metal humanoid, with a blade in its left hand.
"What the fuck...?"
"Attack them, my protector!" the girl pointed at the criminals, commanding the metal humanoid. "Make them leave me alone!"
The metal humanoid walked past the girl, following her orders to attack the criminals with absolute brutality.

"Hey Ant, you called for me?"
"Yeah, Dustin, you're right on time." the strike leader nodded. "Have a seat."
The athlete walked inside the meeting room and noticed both Ash and Morrison in the room with him. He then sat down next to Ash, and the meeting went ahead.
"So something of interest had come up last night." the strike leader began to speak. "There's an SCP on the loose, and it had made itself into the headlines."
The strike leader then used a clicker to activate the projector, currently showing a picture of the crime scene in the city. Civilians all gathered around the area, whilst being guarded by police, the bodies being covered in tarpaulins and the area marked with police tape.
"The SCP had murdered a bunch of criminals last night." the strike leader continued. "We don't know why, or how. But we know that this was definitely SCP-204."
