Jack carefully read the ingredients in the bottle of his newly-acquired sleep-supplements.
INTAKE RECOMMENDATION: Take once per day after a meal, and a total of two pills every week.
He was skeptical if he should really eat it.
"Vice President Pietro, is there any kind of side effects in this thing?"
"From what I know, there's no other side effects other than the fact that your body won't know sleep again. It's only if you eat it every day non stop."
"Don't worry Doc, these pills was invented by none other than Doctor Avery. I guarantee that it's safe." Pedro added.
"Yeah, we eat some once in a while as well."
"Alright." He ate the pill and immediately, the taste of coffee and mint danced in his tongue. After a little while, the heavy feeling in his head was gone. "It actually tastes nice. Alright boys, let's go to Canada."
They walked towards the helicopter, meeting both James and Daniel who just woke up.
"Good morning, doc."
"Good morning. You two sound grumpy today." They all entered the helicopter once everything was ready.
"Sorry Doc, we didn't get enough sleep last night because of some ruckus in the quarters. Apparently, the higher ups are meeting soon and the newbies assigned couldn't sleep."
"Man, that sounds rough."
"Anyways Doc, what's this mission about?" James asked.
"We're gonna experiment on both SCP-009 and 100. Apparently, one of the higher ups wanted to know what happens if I put the two in the same room together. Don't worry boys, this is light work."
"You sure sound confident, Doc."
"Yeah, just like your first mission. Did you do this before as well?"
"Not really. In fact, it hasn't even crossed my mind before."
"Any Plan Bs in mind, Doc?"
"Yeah, if things get a bit more dangerous, be ready to pull 009 out of the computer as soon as possible. That's pretty much it. I'm putting my trust in this 'filter' thing that you guys are talking about."
"Yes, Doc." After a while, they arrived on the rooftop of Branch 23, where two teams were already there waiting for him.
"You must be Doctor Jack Bright?" One of them asked.
"Yes, indeed." He noticed that the other team wasn't from the DTF, but rather the MTF. He eyed the four people suspiciously.
"Follow us, Doctor. Everything is ready."
"Sure." His team noticed that Jack wasn't in his usual behavior.
"Doc, are you alright?" Pietro whispered.
"I'm alright, don't worry." Still, this building is heavily guarded. Unlike the Branch 53 where each soldiers are just running around clueless, these guys are ready for something. Some kind of attack. He nervously looked around as they entered the elevator to deeper levels.
