SCP {The SCP That United Them All}

25- Mission File, MTF-U-1

Later that day, Rocky and Cain meet Drake at the gym, while Sasha revisits 166 with Jennifer and Iris.

Inside 166's room, the ladies talk about various topics before the usual silent observer, 166, speaks up.

"Is.. my father a good man?" She asks.

Jennifer, Iris, and Sasha look at each other with worried expressions.

"Perhaps you should answer this one, Iris. You are out and about more than we are." Jennifer comments.

Iris takes a deep breath before answering. "As a doctor, of the SCP Foundation, he is considered an excellent individual.. As a former member of the GOC, he was a highly respected and decorated officer.. From personal experience, he is an oddball but does not seem to mean any harm."

166 looks at Sasha. "I understand you and my father are romanticly involved. What is your opinion?"

Sasha smiles. "I still have a lot I have to learn about your father, but I very much up to the challenge."

166 looks at the letter. "Would.. any of you care to read this letter from him?"

Iris and Jennifer instantly look at Sasha.

Sasha shrugs. "I suppose I could."

166 hands the letter to Sasha, and as she reads her expression becomes increasingly serious. She then hands the letter back to 166.

"What do you think?" 166 asks.

Sasha tries hard to smile. " Epon, that is an interesting name. I think.. your father and I are going to need to have a little talk."

166 smile. "That is what I expected. Please do not be too mean to him for assuming you would agree to be my stepmother."

Sasha shakes her head. "That I have no problem with. There is just some.. overwhelming information in that letter that I wish to discuss with him."

Iris chuckles. "See, an oddball but really does not mean any harm."

Later that night, Rocky and Sasha meet in his room. Sasha seems notably distressed.

"What is wrong with you?" Rocky asks.

"Isn't it true Dr. Clef negates anomalous abilities?!" Sasha asks.

"I wouldn't say 'negate' so much as he seems to bypass it or it simply does not affect him." Rocky answers. "Why?"

"He must know then that he could see Epon at any time without being enthralled by her charm!! So then why hasn't he?!! Is he really just some dead beat dad?!!" Sasha asks angrily.

"Whoa! From the records, the SCP Foundation has been sending him out to the field a lot, perhaps that is simply not his call to make!" Rocky answers.

Sasha ignores this and continues to complain. "What worse, Epon's mother..."

Rocky moves swiftly and covers Sasha's mouth, looking her in the eye. "I already inferred that from the file, but don't say it out loud. I think you should speak to him about all this and be honest with your feelings. He obviously likes you, and it is not like you couldn't kick his ass if you felt like it." Rocky slowly takes his hand away.

Sasha looks down. "Perhaps you are right. I am probably overreacting. He is probably just worried that he still wouldn't be a good father to Epon."

Rocky chuckles. "He is very protective regardless. My first entrance into her room no doubt had to be approved by him, personally, and I am sure a termination squad was standing by if I had become enthralled."

Sasha looks puzzled. "A termination squad?!"

Rocky nods. "He was the one who wrote the containment and handling procedures for 166. And I quote, 'ANY man who becomes enthralled by SCP-166's anomalous ability is to be terminated to prevent any form of sexual assault or impregnation of the subject.'" Rocky chuckles. "If it had been me, I would have added that you will all be terminated if the subject is ever impregnated."
