SCP {The SCP That United Them All}

14- Impromptu Test, SCP-096

The next morning, Rocky wakes up to find Sasha missing. He slowly gets up and performs his daily routine of showering and getting coffee, but he finds his coffee has gone missing. He stops and thinks for a moment. "303, 953.. 106 playing a joke?" Regardless, he would have to visit a certain machine today.

He gets dressed, heads out the door, and down to the cafeteria. As he enters, he notices all the staff is huddled on one end of the room, but he shrugs it off, continuing to SCP-294. On the wall, next to the machine is a sign detailing that certain options were forbidden and outlining selections that the foundation would like the staff to follow. He notices that, during off the clock hours, a single selection of beer, rum, vodka, etc was permitted.

He shakes his head. "Why am I not surprised. In a place like this, everyone needs a hard drink every so often." He mumbles to himself. "Actually.." He types in the selection of Irish Coffee.

The machine, as it has done many times before, groans and then dispenses a normal cup that fills quickly. However, unlike the other times, the screen displays "Enjoy."

"Thank you." Rocky says, taking the cup. He smells of it before taking a sip. He smiles. "Wow, that will wake me up! I think I found my newest coffee buddy!"

The machine seems to shake happily.

Rocky turns around and spots why the staff was huddled on one side of the room. On his side of the room sits a white skinned humanoid, clutching his face.

"Well.. shit. There goes my day. And so early too.." Rocky sighs as he finishes off his coffee, and turning back to the machine. "After this, I might take that shot of whiskey." He then keys up his radio. "SCP-096 has been located in the cafeteria."

"A containment team will be there shortly." The old man urges.

Cain walks in, a radio receiver in his ear. "Stand down. I have something for this." He approaches 096 from behind with a mask.

"Cain, I know he can't hurt you, but be careful for everyone else." Rocky urges.

"No worries. I just got briefed on this." Once he gets close, he closes his eyes and feels for 096's face.

Rocky again keys up his radio. "All personnel in this area, close your eyes, and remain still until instructed otherwise."

Once Cain finds 096's face, he begins to slip the mask on, but 096 jerks his face away, making eye contact with Rocky.

"SHIT!" Rocky's eyes instantly turn grey. "Cain, we have made eye contact!"

Cain stops. "Are you serious?!"

With a violent motion, 096 throws Cain aside and begins sobbing and whaling uncontrollably. 

Rocky raises his hand. "Look, 096, you are not going to like the outcome if you attack me. It will turn out just like 682, except I will be unharmed."

096 does not listen, as he charges Rocky.

Rocky does not have time to react as 096 hammers into him, throwing him back into a wall. The indention made in the wall resembles 999 in shape.

Rocky groans, getting back up and popping his neck. "At least I know I can't kill you. So I don't have to hold back!" Rocky extends his arm in a punch, sending 096 into the opposite wall. 

096 rises again beating furiously on his chest like an ape and screaming.

"Really? Ape?!" Rocky outstretches his arms and crotches down. "You're in for a surprise, son."

096 again charges, but this time is pinned to the floor by an invisible hand, tearing into the floor like claws. 096 tries to fight against the hand but remains pinned.
