SCP Short Stories

Am I useless now?

The sound of high heels repeatedly stepping on the marble floors echoed through the empty halls. A woman in her early thirties with light, brown hair pulled in a bun and dark, brown eyes gracefully walk through the halls while holding a set of blueprints. Her main focus is to make it at her final destination. Nothing more. 

The woman, who will be called Dr. Hemingsworth, made a few turns through the maze of halls until she made it to a set of stairs. She went down the stairs and walked some more until she made it to the front of a metal door. Quickly she took out her key card and swiped it. Once the door opened she walked inside as gracefully as she could. 

Once inside Dr. Hemingsworth coughed to make her presence known to the other doctor. Though it did not work for the doctor still had his feet up on the controls, magazine in hand, and loud headphones screaming music through his ears.

Dr. Hemingsworth became annoyed and grunted. She marched towards the young man and ripped the magazine out of his hands. His face giving away a surprised look. He looked up with his electric blue eyes through his glasses and met the anger filled ones of the female doctor. He immediately took off his headphones, making his raven black hair a mess, and stood up to great the higher upper.

"D-Dr. Hemingsworth! I was um-I was just-"

"Stop, Dr. Min." She put her hand up in a holting position. She placed it back down and set the blueprints on the table next to the controls. "Don't think you're the only one who slacks off. There are others who do the same."

"Oh. Yes well- I just thought since it was just a computer that it didn't really need any... Observing?" The young doctor scratched the back of his head.

"Even so, you should still keep a close eye." She placed her hand on her hip. "But enough about that. I'm here to tell you that I have the blueprints and the O-5 has accepted my request."

Dr. Min looked at her in disbelief. "Wait. They did? So you're actually doing this? This is going to happen?"

"Yes. I worked very hard on these blueprints and I can only hope they work as I calculated." She unscrolled the blueprint and motioned for the other doctor to look.

"Wow. These look amazing. When do we start?"

"We?"

Dr. Min step back a little. "Oh. Sorry. I just thought. Well. When do you start."

"No no. I'm going to need help with this. You'll be my assistant for this project."

He raised an eyebrow at her. "Me? An assistant?"

"Do you want to help or not?" She gave him an annoyed look.

"Yessss."

"Okay then. We start now. Let's go get the materials." She began walking towards the exit. Dr. Min following right behind her.

"Loading 97%, loading 98%, loading 99%, loading 100%. Activation complete." The flicker of SCP -079's screen turns on. From his perspective, he is able to somehow turn and see more of the cell. He looks down and no longer sees the desk that once held him but instead an upper metal chest with many wires dangling out from the inside.

He moves his head to the upper right and sees a metal arm without a hand being held up by more wires. The same with the left side.

"I see you're awake."

079 becomes startled and moves his head forward to the source of the voice. There he sees Dr. Hemingsworth. He knows her and is one of the few that do not annoy him completely.
