[Tyr and Gerrie arrive at Freyr and Mitch's house just after 9am, and the four of them head downstairs to the containment cells. Freyr flicks the switch to turn on the flood lights overhead.]
Tyr: Wait.
Freyr: *confused*
Tyr: Keep the lights off. I know you and Mitch said its eyes don't glow, but I'd rather not take any chances.
Freyr: Fair point.
[Freyr flicks the overhead lights back off and they walk over to SCP-023's containment, guided by the recessed lighting along the edge of the floor.]
Freyr: *to Mitch* Do you see him?
Mitch: Not yet...I can open the door and try calling him over, if you want.
[Gerrie and Tyr look over at him with incredulous expressions.]
Tyr: Call him over?
Gerrie: Did you- did you name it?
Mitch: *shrugs* I called him Bob yesterday and he came right up to the glass.
Gerrie: *shakes his head* That has to be the most mind-blowing thing you've said so far.
Mitch: *glances over at Freyr* Should I try it?
Freyr: Doesn't hurt. I can't see him from-
Tyr: Wait.
[Tyr's brow furrows as he looks into the containment, and Gerrie tenses up as soon as he follows his brother's gaze.]
Tyr: He's in the center of the cell.
[Freyr looks inside with confusion.]
Freyr: Are you sure? I don't see the black fur.
Tyr: It's not the fur I'm seeing, Freyr.
[Freyr meets Tyr's stern gaze, and the realization washes over Freyr like a thick fog.]
Freyr: *quietly* You're seeing the glow of his eyes...aren't you.
Tyr & Gerrie: *nods*
Mitch: *under his breath* Holy crap...
[Uncertainty and tension fill the air as Mitch and Freyr realize that their far-fetched theory was correct all along.]
Tyr: If we could all go back upstairs, Gerrie and I might be able to shed some light on this situation.
Freyr: *brow furrows* What do you mean?
Gerrie: *sighs heavily* We have some things we need to tell you.
Freyr: *sharply* Define things.
Tyr: We'll explain in a minute.
[The four of them go back upstairs into the living room. The biohazard gear is in bags next to the front door, but the planned cleanup mission is no longer at the forefront of anyone's mind.]
[Mitch sits down in the armchair next to the fireplace with his knees pulled up to his chest while the other three boys remain standing.]
Tyr: Look, I really don't know how else to say this besides being totally blunt.
Freyr: Say what?
Tyr: You and Mitch are immune to SCPs.
Freyr:
Mitch:
Freyr: *barely above a whisper* What?
Gerrie: You're immune. Both of you, and you have been since the day you were born.
