Secure Contain Protect: Apollyon

SCP-3008 - The Horde

The survivors end up escaping while Sam tries to calm everyone down

Sam:
Everyone take a breather, the worse thing we can do right now is panic. The important thing is that we made it out. When the lights come back on we'll go back to camp and rebuild. Got it?

Ryan:
How long will that work for? How long until the hordes attack again?

Sam:
The return of the hordes is not something we expected to happen but now that we know we can properly prepare.

Ian:
We should be looking for a way out, not just standing around waiting for something to happen!

Survivors:
Yeah!

Sam:
And we're trying! It'll take time but we've survived the hordes before. We can do it again

Ryan:
I'm so tired, I just want to go home...

Sam gets frustrated as the survivors' unrest just keeps growing

Sam:
Everyone stop! Complaining isn't going to get us out of here any faster! The only thing we can do is wait and survive... We'll head back to camp in the morning.

Sam goes to Hunter as John, Galen and Deke were cut off from the survivors in the retreat

Sam:
Hey, I'm going to need you to do me a favor. I'm going to need you to head to Will's camp and check on them.

Hunter:
Why?

Sam:
The horde came from the east, that's where Will's camp is, and he's not responding on the radio.

Hunter:
No, why me?

Sam:
Someone has to keep these people calm. Galen, Deke and John were cut off and you're the only one who knows the way.

Hunter:
...

Sam:
Hey, I wouldn't ask you to do this if I had a choice.

Hunter:
Fine...

Sam:
Thanks, stay in radio contact.

Hunter leaves the area and starts heading to Will's camp

Hunter:
Sam, what if I run into the horde?

Sam:
You shouldn't as long as you stay away from our camp, they should still all be there.

Hunter continues his way through Will's camp when a single SCP-3008-1 instance is walking nearby which halts Hunter dead in his tracks

Hunter breathes heavily but tries to remain calm and sneak past the instance

As he sneaks past by crawling behind furniture, he can hear the footsteps of the instance at various distances, not wanting to look in fear of getting caught

Suddenly the instance makes a loud noise which startles Hunter and causes him to lose his footing and nearly knock stuff over

Hunter sees a door and decides to run for it and catches the instance's attention
