"Yeah. I trust her."

"187, don't you find anything weird?"

"187, you're eating without a blindfold."

"Well, I don't see it digested, not since earlier this morning."

"Huh. Do you think it has something to do with Meda?"

"Maybe. I just realized something too. That's a box."

"You're right. It should've disintegrated by now yet, its still intact."

"Huh. Maybe its one of her powers or something."

"You'll learn soon enough. Demonstration would be two days from now."

"I heard from Iris you were looking for me."

"Ah yeah. News from the O5 council. They want you to have a demonstration in two days. From that they will also give you your class and a week after the demonstration, your official number and containment procedures."

"Seems good for me."

"We'll see you in 3 days."

"What are you going to do until then?"

"Build up my strength, train, and maybe explore the world. Who knows, I might even meet some SCPs."

"Huh. I forgot I still don't have my quarters here."

"Oh yeah, its just five doors down mine actually. I'll show you later."

"Can I ask you something Mrs. Meda?"

"Sure."

"I'm just wondering, was it-"

"-me who temporarily stopped your anomaly? Yes."

"You see, your anomaly, or as I like to call it-powers, manifests deep within a human body. Everyone with enough training can utilize and control that energy."

"Just like this. I can localize the flames in my body."

"And control its temperature."

"I'll teach you sometime on how to control your gifts."

"Is it really possible to control my powers? Its been 10 years. I'm 25 now and I still can't seem to control it."

"Of course you can. It took me 100 years to fully grasp magic, and the thing is, I'm still learning a lot about it."

"Learning such things can take several years on your own. But with a good mentor, you can accelerate exponentially."

"This is you. I'm just five doors down."

"Hello, miss. I believe I haven't seen you until now."

"I'm-"

"Claire. SCP-166. Colloquially named Teenage Succubus. I know child."

"Speaking of...here. You can wear this. I believe this won't blister your skin."

"You don't to worry about your powers with her here too."

"Are you Andromeda Johnson? The new SCP?"

"That would be me, yes."

"The O5 Council wants to see you now for your evaluation."
