Running With the Devil (SCP Fanfic)

Chapter 6: Arkangel

Malo tied her clean white bathrobe around her waist and walked into the living room where James sat on the couch. Malo walked over to him and sat right beside him.

James glanced over, "Could I get you something that's a little less revealing?"

She brought her boney snout right to his ear. He could feel her warm breath, "no," is all she said and brought her snout away.

"That was some day, huh?" Malo spoke as the sound of rain being blown against the house filled the air.

"That's one way to put it. What even was that thing, it knew you."

"SCP-1010, another SCP."

"That means there is something abnormal about it? Right?"

"It's a her. She used to be a human scientist. She was leading in her field. She studied robotics and biology. From what I've heard, she tried transferring her conscious into that robotic body and was successful, but it came with its consequences. Her body died in the process, and she had lost all empathy. She soon found out that she had a computer virus in her code, and it turned out she was the virus. The virus is what makes her an SCP. You could see the virus when she attacked us today, the electricity she emitted, it can corrupt code and cause it to become a slave to her. Any code or electronic device she infects gets the same electricity arcing over it and does whatever she commands."

"Like those robot wolves?"

"Yeah, she built those with scrap and then placed her virus in them. Like I said, she was leading in her field of robotics. Anything that green electricity touches, it infects."

"Fucking hell," James whispered to himself.

"How do you know each other though, you seem to know a lot about her."

"I know because we were kept in containment in the same wing called "electronic anomalies". I heard the scientists and guards in the facility talk of her and then I eventually met her during a test. She seemed normal at first until she became violent upon learning I was like her, a virus. She swore she would prove her superiority over me and be the best... whatever that means to her," Malo rolled her eyes.

"She seems like a real psychopath, I bet when she transferred her conscious, she forgot to do so with her soul."

"What do you mean?" Malo looked at James.

"Well what make you human, same with you, what's makes you a person, a soul."

"I think I see what you mean, from what I gathered, she was a kind person before she turned into a piece of metal."

"I bet that's it."

"Anyway, do you remember when you downloaded my app?"

"Yes."

"A few days earlier, a containment breach occurred in the facility I was kept in, she had breach her cell with a few other SCPs and had made it to my cell, and ripped the doors off. Instead of escaping, she came to kill me. Luckily, I escaped out the cell. I saw the destruction she left, heavily armed soldiers laid in bloody piles on the ground, she's no joke, but anyway she is the reason I managed to escape. I made it outside the facility past all the destruction, there were no soldiers or guards they were all preoccupied with more dangerous creatures that had broke containment. Well I reached outside and that's when you downloaded my app. No one downloaded my app in a while, the wing where I was kept was shielded from electronic interference just because of me because that was the only way of containing me and as soon as I left, I was connected to the app," Malo had finished speaking.

"So because of her, you escaped, but I guess she managed to escape too."

"Yeah. Hey, James, I think we are safe for now. Just to put your mind at ease. I don't think she would enter a populated area like this, no matter how crazy that bitch is, she is smart enough to wait to get to me," Malo laid her head back, exposing her neck and chest.
