And in the cafeteria you got many, many weird glares and untrustful looks. It was obviously going to happen. First of all, you're new in the science team. Second, all know about you either from Dr.Mathias blabbering or in general from files and records that are a low clearance access. It was obvious that most of the scientists here would either throw you into a cage full of bloodlusty SCPs. And so your confidence fallen almost to 0 once again. Then you noticed her, Vora was sitting at the table alone. You slowly approached her.
(You) - Um... may I sit here with you?
(Vora) - Sure... guess you're uncomfortable with all the looks, eh?
(You) - Who wouldn't be... Honestly I feel that the first occasion they have I'm gonna be thrown into some kind of a death hole.
(Vora) - Where would you get that from?
(You) - Don't know really... maybe I'm a bit paranoid.
(Vora) - Obviously you are... Have you heard anything from Dr.MAthias about your, ummm, anomalous properties?
(You) - Not really... has he managed to gett a breakthrough on it?
(Vora) - Don't know... he's awfully silent about it.
(You) - Well... I have to trust him in order to have any chances for survival, also he's been nothing but nice and kinda supporting so far.
(Vora) - *Low voice* Don't you know that the most prominent and cheery ones always prove to be the most psychopathic?
(You) - Really?
Well, now that wos something concerning to hear about.
(Vora) - Don't know, said it without any thoughts.
(You) - Heh, way to lighten up the mood, what a nice joke you made, haha... Not really.
(Vora) - Well, you eating or something? Your food gonna get cold at this rate.
(You) - Oh, right.
And so you had a tasty (not really) and nutritious (maybe) meal consisting of pork with vegetables. Vegetables were a little rubbery and pork was kind of tasteles, as anything here.
(You) - I wonder if James can cook...
(Vora) - Why not ask him?
(You) - Eep! Said it outloud?
(Vora) - Yes... guess James is a pretty good friend of yours here.
(You) - Yes, yes he is... perhaps the only person keeping me sane in here.
The rest of the meal went in silence. Vora went off immediately after her meal, probably to end some reports or carry out further experiments. As for you, you certainly have to apologise to Dr.Mathias and improve. And so having enough of the tasteless food you left in the direction of his office. You gently knocked on the door and awaited for response.
(Dr.Mathias) - Come in!
And so you did, he looked up from his desk and was kinda neutral with his expression.
(Dr.Mathias) - Look who came... what do you want (Y/N)?
(You) - You see... I came to apologise for my stupidity and-
(Dr.Mathias) - Apologise yourself and not me... Also reconsider your approach to matters like this. Next time you may end up without your upper half or brain. Be glad that you only got your face a bit burned.
(You) - Yes... that sounds reasonable.
(Dr.Mathias) - Now cheer up a little bit, you'll have your time to shine. Go and have some re- Or no, actually I need you here for something.
