Site-40。

This time Ariath stayed, as the containment breach at Site-40 was far more problematic than it seemed.

Aria first instructed the Site-40 Foundation staff who had been rescued by Fan Fonse to restore the work, and she went to Site-40's top secret room alone.

In the Top Secret Room, Ariath uses the privilege to contact the O5 Council.

Ariath was originally a special investigator for the O5 Council, and she had direct access to the O5 Council.

In less than a minute, five members of the O5 Council were online.

O5-1 asked first, "What's going on?" ”

"Madam, there's been a major accident at Site-40." Aria first summarized the report overview.

"SCP029 Lady of Shadows containment has resulted in the death of a total of one hundred and forty-six people at Site-40, all of whom were killed by SCP029, including Ms. Frida, the Deputy Director of Site." Ariyah gave a detailed report.

"SCP029 has been terminated by SCP6404, and SCP6404 has rescued twenty-nine Foundation personnel belonging to Site-40, who are restoring Site-40's basic functions." Aria continued to report.

O5-3 asked, "You told us that you shouldn't have reported these little things, did you?" ”

The O5 Council has its own business to attend to, and usually, small things don't require the O5 Council to be involved.

Even the effectiveness of the containment of most Keter-class anomalous objects requires little to no personal handling by the O5 Council.

For example, the current security incident of the containment effectiveness of SCP029, a Keter-class anomalous item in Site-40, does not normally require the O5 Council to deal with it personally.

Neither Aria nor Site-40 Director Dr. Gladys could handle this matter directly.

Ariyah responded, "SCP813 contained at Site-40 is missing! ”

"The reason for the disappearance?" O5-4 makes an inquiry.

"According to the information fed back by the security monitoring system, the reason for SCP029's breach of containment was the involvement of external forces, and I found traces of the snake's hand in the security monitoring system, and the other party did not seem to have any signs of concealing his identity." Aria explained.

"So this Site-40 containment event was orchestrated by the Serpent's Hand?" O5-4 asks again.

"According to the information recorded by the security monitoring system, there is a more than 90% probability that this Site-40 containment event was planned by the Serpent's Hand." Aria explained.

O5-1 interjected, "Is there 100% certainty that SCP813 has breached containment?" ”

"100 percent sure. Covert security surveillance systems have filmed SCP813's sudden disappearance, but not how SCP813 disappears, nor how it disappears. Aria explained.

O5-1 responded, "Send Site-40 security surveillance footage, we're going to analyze it ourselves." ”

"Okay." Ariath responded.

"What about SCP6404 project?" O5-1 asks again.

"Very good!" Ariyah responded, "I'm working on the written file of the SCP019 termination report, SCP6404 have already terminated SCP019, and based on this test, we have found that SCP6404 has the power of time, and he can freely manipulate a certain range of time, allowing it to speed up, pause, and reverse. ”

The O5 Council fell silent, and the power to manipulate time was very high-end, even within the SCP Foundation.

"Closely monitor SCP6404, continue to monitor the psychological state of SCP6404, and if there is an uncontrollable situation in the SCP6404, you must report it immediately." O5-1 commanded.

"Roger." Ariyah responded, "Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, one more thing to report, when SCP6404 terminated SCP019 in the past, SCP6404 revealed psychological flaws and needs, and he wanted to continue to terminate the three anomalous objects. ”

"What happened to SCP6404 after terminating the anomalous object?" O5-4 interrogated.

Ariyah thought about it for a moment before responding, "No special performance. However SCP6404 while dealing with SCP029's containment breach, he did not seem to be overjoyed when he terminated SCP029, and stated that the termination of SCP029 was not challenging. ”

"We know, you immediately arrange for SCP6404 to try to track down SCP813 and try to get SCP813 back as much as possible." O5-4 commanded.

Ariyah asked rhetorically, "Are we notifying the Global Occult Coalition GOC?" ”

The members of the O5 Council were silent for nearly a minute before O5-1 responded, "No notification to the GOC at this time, only SCP813 has been lost, and no GOC intervention is required. ”

"Did you notify the Church of the Broken God?" Ariyah asked again.

"Still no notice." O5-1 responded, "We don't want any more ascension events!" ”

"Understood." Ariath responded.

Again, O5-1 instructed, "Inform SCP6404 that if he recovers SCP813, we will honor one of his requests. ”

"Roger." After Ariyah responded, the members of the O5 Council went offline.

In a mysterious space, one dark shadow after another appeared.

One of the shadows spoke, "SCP813 has been stolen, and other related anomalous objects are under strict supervision. ”

Another Shadow responded, "Message from SCP3150 that the Elam Item Recovery Empire's war with the Red Shah is gradually retreating. ”

Another dark shadow spoke, "There is also an anomaly in the SCP3838, the Sixth Tribe has almost been wiped out, and all the evidence points to the Fourth Tribe, but the Fourth Tribe is contacting us in the hope of getting help." ”

A fourth shadow joins the discussion, "The Serpent's Hand should have used SCP268, resulting in the breach of Site-40 and the theft of SCP813. ”

SCP268 is a tweed newsboy hat with properties similar to Joe's.

Once SCP268 is put on, it acquires Joe's attributes, with an overlooked specialty, even surveillance devices cannot record SCP268's exact condition, but motion-sensing devices, weight-sensing devices, thermal sensing devices, and similar devices can function normally when exposed to SCP-268.

It is for this reason that the SCP Foundation has determined that the Site-40 containment effectiveness event and the time of SCP813's theft were caused by SCP268.

After all, SCP268 was stolen by the Serpent's Hand, and they have used SCP268 to disrupt the SCP Foundation's normal operation on several occasions.

"What do you think about SCP6404?" A dark shadow suddenly asked.

"It is advisable to continue to observe." Another dark shadow responded.

"Seconded!"

"Agreed!"

"Yes!"

"Recognition!"

Shadow after shadow expressed support for continuing to observe the situation in SCP6404.

"Keep an eye on the GOC, the Church of the Broken God, and organizations like the Serpent's Hand, the Chaos Ripper, and more." The dark shadow who spoke initially gave the command.

"Adjournment!" The dark shadow that had spoken at first commanded again.

The mysterious space disappeared as if it had never existed.

Site-19, second floor staff lounge.

When Fan Fangsi returned, Joe hadn't left yet.

"Coming back so soon?" Joe asked, confused.

Fan Fangsi nodded affirmatively, "There was an incident of containment effectiveness at Site-40, and the Shadow Daughter of SCP029 broke through containment, have you ever heard of the Shadow Girl?" ”

Joe nodded repeatedly, "I've heard of it!" The Lady of Shadows is very powerful, and this time the Foundation is in big trouble! ”

Fan Fangsi replied calmly, "I have already terminated SCP029!" ”

“？？？” Joe had a black question mark on his face.
