"Attention. Calling MU-13 'Ghostbusters', report to the assembly room of sector 2. The council has arranged a mission for your unit to take charge of."

The door opened and the unit stepped inside. The assembly room had dozens of cabinets with files of presumably every SCP this site has contained, and computers filled with thousands of information. A researcher came into their view. Doctor Clare. Iris's face lit up. 'I haven't seen her in a while.'

"All agents are present. Begin the presentation Doctor Clare." The unit commander spoke.

"Good morning MU-13 "Ghostbusters". This is a mission sent by the O5 council, I want you all to stay focused. If you have any questions, please raise your hand."

Doctor Clare took out the projector and began presenting the details on screen. "MU-13, we have assigned all of you an important task of retrieving SCP-953, the polymorphic humanoid, as it poses a huge threat to the public, especially in a world that is unfamiliar to their ways." She handed SCP-953's files to each agent. Iris didn't even begin reading the anomaly's description and she was already confused with the given mission. 'SCP-953 should not be something that our unit should take charge of.'

"SCP-953 is a keter anomaly. Direct human contact is forbidden as it has mind-altering properties" Doctor Clare read the highlighted words. "1.5 kg of liver is to be delivered to its cell, clean drinking water, and clean bedding is to be exchanged by the subject and laundered weekly. SCP-953 is a female red fox who is 8kg in weight. It possesses shape-shifting abilities that can allow it to transform into various beings, although it can transform into these beings, one of the key weaknesses is that it keeps at least one part of its true forms, allowing it to be spotted in public. She commonly takes the form of an attractive Korean female, please take note of this." She continued.

Iris looked at the picture given in the file. It had long black hair, with gray eyes, thin lips, and a defined nose. If Iris wasn't a personnel of the SCP foundation, she would've thought that the woman was totally harmless.

"It is referred to as a 'Kumiho', which is a Korean nine-tailed fox. SCP-953 has an extreme phobia of domesticated canines. We will be sending 3 of our trained canines to guide you along the mission. SCP-953's preferred killing method is a bare-handed strike to the abdomen, penetrating the abdominal cavity and removing the liver, later consuming it. It enjoys torturing it's victims and mostly aims for young men around their 20s."

An agent raised their hand. "Doctor Clare, exactly how is this related to our unit's task force mission?" 'That's what I was thinking.'

Doctor Clare cleared her throat. "Your main objective is to retrieve SCP-953, who has gained access to an abandoned project." She continued the slide show, presenting.. A machine, or maybe a vehicle? "Project #4937. A device that was created to infiltrate a specific, alternate universe, similarly to ours. An unknown source has been sending the foundation ciphered messages with all reports leading to this very dimension. The project has been disbanded due to limited resources and major concerns."

"That didn't answer the question."

Iris raised her hand. "Doctor Clare, we are specialized with containing incorporeal or intangible manifestations and entities. SCP-953 is a humanoid entity."

Doctor Clare sighed, "This is in order of the O5 council, I have no specific information on why MU-13 was the selected unit to take charge of this mission. We have given you all 24 hours to plan out the mission, and 3 days to complete. If things turn to the worst, we will be sending an MTF unit to retrieve you. Remember that this is important to not just the foundation in general, but also to that dimension you will be infiltrating. In those 3 days, we cannot help you as the signal does not reach the dimension, so please follow the details specified in the files. MU-13, we will be counting on you, so do not fail." Doctor Clare reorganizes the files she took before leaving the room.
