Chapter Text
The cold, cruel walls of the cell were like a sharp knife to the skin of the D-class. The air felt like it was choking him.
Being nothing but the foundations lab rat made him lose hope of ever seeing the light of day again.
The door to his cell suddenly slid open and a loud ear scratching siren started to yell. The red lights hurt the man's eyes. It was all too much everything was going too quickly and D-559 was too confused to even take a step.
When his senses finally adjusted he opened his eyes and walked out of his now open cell.
There was absolutely no one around, No other sounds than the sirens, until a voice came through the speakers. "Warning to all facility members! Multiple SCP's had escape containment! The site is currently experiencing a full lockdown!"
Everything else that was said flew from one ear and out the other. "I'm gonna die here aren't I? ....hehehe of course I will..."
559 was ready to just give up. I mean what's the point of trying if you know that you'll die either way, that was until a door at the end of the hallway opened, a scientist who was tripping over their own feet, walking like they were in pain, came through it.
"Get up! What the fuck are you even doing?" The harsh and muffled voice yelled at the D-classes. They jumped a bit and slowly looked up at the scientist. A white mask stained with black liquid was covering the man's face. "Well? Will you listen to me or just stare like an idiot?" The mask wasn't pleasant to look at. The exaggerated sadness on it, the tragedy, made it make you feel like there's nothing but anguish in this cruel world.
"Who are you?.." D-559 said in a weak pathetic voice. Truly pitiful!
"..AGH fine! I'm Dyo. Or as the workers here like to call me SCP 035..."
"You're an anomaly!! Fuck! Heh...why am I even surprised? Didn't I want to die?"
"Oh shut up! I really do not care about your whinnying! And I'm not going to kill you if you just listen to me! Got it?"
"You won't?...oh thank you!" The D-classes face brightened up.
"Don't thank me! Just stand up already!"
Almost automatically 559 jumped onto his feet and smiled at 035.
"Look kid! I can help you escape, I know this site like the back of my hand , and with me on your side some SCP's won't even be a treat but I do need something in return"
"What is it? I'll do anything!"
"I need hosts.. you see I'm the mask not the body. This fuck ass corrosive liquid makes me to not be able to hold a body for longer than a few hours, so I need you to find me humanoid host's, it doesn't matter if they will be dead or alive"
Their eyes shot open, their hands started to clench up into fists.
"Fine! It's a deal!" He hesitantly held his hand out and 035 shook it.
"Well then, kiddo! We have a deal"
The tragedy mask changed into a comedy. wicked, cruel and sick to look at.
"I can't promise your safety. And I can't tell you all I know as well." He almost sounded like he was mocking the d class.
"What?! Why not?!"
"I don't have many physical abilities to help you the best I can do is give you knowledge on what to do, and the reason why I can't tell you ever is quite simple!"
"And that reason issssss?"
"Your mind can't handle it"
"How can you be so sure? Come on! I'm not scared of some knowledge!"
035's mask turned into tragedy again
"You remind me of someone...."
"Huh?" D-559 stepped back a bit and tilted his head to the side in confusion.
The mask just stayed still not moving, not talking, but yet it felt like it was looking into your soul. It was hard to say if the tragedy was mocking or regretful. It was so quiet and yet they couldn't imagine a louder moment.
"Knowledge is not a power... it's a curse, kid. So just know that me not letting you know everything is for the best" the hosts once folded arms fell to the sides. 559 just nodded.
They went back through the empty hallways. It was creepy And unnatural. A huge empty facility seeing only a corpse from time to time. "Mr. Dyó where are we going exactly? I don't have any Key cards to open the doors"
"You don't have to call me Mr! And we are going to an old friend of mine, I have a feeling that he'll help us a bit~"
