Game Jam Final

"Honestly, thought I'd be recognized a lot sooner. I've been doing so much work in D-Class that I thought I'd be stuck there forever." Drane chuckles, "Yeah, that's how it is in the beginning, but at least you got here when you did." "Why do you say that?" "So that I can make your stay here unbearable." Drane pulls out a beat up dad joke book, something he's had since you've first met him. Seems like some things never change. Your Captain, Captain Yuri walks into the lobby filled with the task force conducting the transfer of the SCP. "Alright fellas, get your heebie jeebies and talks out now, we leave in T-1 hour, but before that, it is best that I show you what this thing is capable of. So after you head to the armory and get set, meet me in meeting room 205. That is all." The captain walks out of the lobby. Drane taps you on your arm, "C'mon, let's [[get set]]." (set:$nervous to False) (set:$Confident to True)

(if:$nervous is true)[Drane remembers about how you weren't so sure in the past about starting this whole thing. "Look man", he says, "if you're not ready for this, let me know. I can inform the captain and make sure you take your time with making your way up here." [["It doesn't matter anymore, I'm in for the ride now".]] [["No way."]]] (if:$confident is true)[Drane chuckles. "Yeah, same here man", he says, "maybe after this, we can go grab a cold one yeah?" "And risk getting into a bar fight 'hot head'", you say playfully, "I think I'll take my chances at the burger joint across the street of the bar. Drane laughs, "Alright alright, then foods on me. Until then, go meet up with Cap, we leave soon." [[Meet up with Captain Yuri|escort 096]]]

(if: $nervous is true)[Drane remembers your nervousness from before and responds caringly, "No, not really." Both of you become silent after the exchange, with Drane breaking it by saying, "I understand if you're feeling nervous about this, it always is for anyone trying to do this for the first time, so if you have any questions about this job, my door is always open $name. You got that?" He turns his head to look at you for your acceptance in his help. [["Thanks, but no thanks"]] [["I'll keep that in mind"]]] (if:$confident is true)["Just trying to start conversation is all. But hey, you wanna grab a bite after the mission?" Drane asks. "Sure", you respond, "you can make me a sandwich when we get back." "Why wait when we come back when I can make you a sandwich right now." Drane backs up and spreads his hands like a bird flapping its wings, "*POOF*, you're a sandwich." You (cycling-link:"stare disappointingly", "ಠ_ಠ") at Drane. "You memorized a joke already?" "Had it in the chamber this morning. Sorry, couldn't help myself." You roll your eyes with a smile. Go meet up with Cap, we leave soon, or else I'll reload", he says pointing his finger. [[Meet up with Captain Yuri|escort 096]] (set:$beenthere to True) (set:$friendship to True) ]

"Thanks man, I'll make sure to remind you about that." "Come oooon, when have I EVER forgotten anything?" Drane has a smug smile on his face. "How about buying $300 worth of Hot Wheels cars?" Drane has a shocked look on his face, "Okay, maybe I don't remember that, but that's still a good purchase, forgetful or not." You laugh, "Whatever man, I'll meet up with you after the mission alright?" "Sure thing $name." [[Meet up with Captain Yuri|escort 096]] (set:$friendship to True) (set:$beenthere to True)

"Nervous or not, I've made my decision on accepting the promotion. I've got a duty to fulfill along with the rest of you, and I intend on doing so." Drane scoffs, "and you said you were nervous, sounds like you're starting to get it, and we haven't even started the transport yet." "Guess I'm as ready as Captain Yuri thought I was." "Just be happy I put that good word in for you, it's rare for some D-Class guard makes their way up to MTF E-11 this fast." "Right", you take a bow, "thank you, your majesty." Drane laughs, "yeah whatever. Look, Alright, go meet up with Cap, we leave soon", [[Meet up with Captain Yuri|escort 096]] (set:$friendship to True) (set:$beenthere to True)

"I had to do it Drane", you explain, "I would rather have him die in a split second quickly than many more in agony, but you don't get that Drane, do you?" "So you're solution wasn't to try and stop 096, but to kill Bronson?!" Drane feels frustrated. "You didn't even want to try?!" [[You heard the audio log]]

"Nervous to say the least. I just hope everything goes well." "With the Foundation, nothing ever goes well", Drane says. You look down, trying to compose yourself for what lies ahead of you with your first day on the task force. Drane notices your body language and puts his hand on your shoulder. "Look, we both knew what was ahead of us when we signed up for this job, you busted your ass to get to this position, so never let it out of your mind that we do this for the better of the world. You got that $name?" "Yeah...yeah man." You say with a big sigh following. Your Captain, Captain Yuri, walks into the lobby filled with the task force conducting the transfer of the SCP. "Alright fellas, get your heebie jeebies and talks out now, we leave in T-1 hour, but before that, it is best that I show you what this thing is capable of. So after you head to the armory and get set, meet me in meeting room 205. That is all." The captain walks out of the lobby. Drane taps you on your arm, "C'mon, let's [[get set]]." (set:$nervous to True) (set:$Confident to False)

"I'm here for a reason", you say sternly, "I know you and the rest might see me as dead weight, but just because I'm afraid doesn't mean I'm not capable of doing this job as much as you guys." Drane notices your lash out, feeling as if he had crossed a line with you unknowingly. "I'm...I'm sorry $name", he says, " I didn't mean to cause any confrontation." You scoff, "Confrontation, like you don't live and breathe off that- same as anyone else who's in the foundation." You remember your time back in Class-D Guardship, how everyone you meet is some selfish SOB who thinks the world revolves around them. "Just waiting for some low class SCP to not comply with a test just so they can get some action... to make themselves feel powerful against those who don't have the power to fend for themselves." You look down, giving Drane the impression of how the enviornment had impacted you. "If any of those other guards from D-Class watch came here, they'd know what real impact the foundation really has." You go silent, with Drane taking in a deep breath and letting out a sigh with the night sky's sounds circling around the both of you, with the smell of the trucks exhaust as it rumbles. He puts his hand on your shoulder, trying to give sympathy. Drane looks at you with a smirk, "At least you get to show them what power REALLY looks like." You look to your right and smirk at Drane, helping you get calmer for the mission. "Alright, go meet up with Cap, we leave soon", Drane says patting your shoulder before walking off to his truck. [[Meet up with Captain Yuri|escort 096]] (set:$friendship to True) (set:$beenthere to True)

You sit down next to him. "Don't let him get to your head. That guy has no idea what guys like you go through just to protect them." Drane hears you out, feeling better that you agree with him on the situation. "Guy doesn't know shooting unless he does it out of his nose to a napkin. I just want him to see what we see first hand so he can think the next time he opens his loud mouth." You nod your head in approval. (if:$nervous is true)["This job doesn't get any easier $name", Drane explains with his eyes closed. "Even when you've seen stuff like this, or ten times worse, you try to get used to it but its always different every time." You look at Drane with confusion, asking yourself why he is telling you this? "I don't mean to scare you $name, I know you were unsure about this in the beginning...but I hope you see now that this is why I do what I do, to make sure no ones sacrifice means nothing." You get up off from the ground, swallowing your fear and extand your hand. "We'll make sure of it", you say confidently. Drane smirks and takes your hand. You pull him up and pat him on the back. <center>**Overcome Ending**<center> (set:$beaten to true) [[Play Again?|Title]] [[Credits]] ] (if:$confident is true)["I'm happy that you're here", Drane says whole heartedly, "I didn't know how much I had in me inside of E-11, but with you, I'd be able to hold out a little longer...even if you're a pain in my ass. Both you and Drane share a laugh. Drane feels guilty. "I can't believe I'm laughing after what had just happened. I should be mourning, not laughing" "I didn't know Bronson", you say truthfully, "but I know that it's best to live your best life for them. We're here now, so let's make sure we make every day count." You get up off from the ground and extand your hand. Drane smirks and takes your hand. You pull him up and pat him on the back. "Before we live our best lives, let me just make yours a liiiiitle unbearable for a second." Drane pulls out his beat up dad joke book. "You pulling out the joke book just now is funnier than any joke in it that I've heard." Both of you share a laugh. <center>**Avenger Ending**<center> (set:$beaten to true) [[Play Again?|Title]] [[Credits]] ]

"Questions? Look, I appreciate the offer but I'll be okay on my own." Drane looks at you, feeling insulted. "I was just trying to help man." "Yeah, well maybe I don't need your help. I got in here for a reason, and that's from proving to Yuri that I am ready." You scoff, "I would've expected you of all people to acknowledge that but... I guess I was wrong." Drane looks at you, feeling betrayed and disrespected. He takes a silent pause then tells you in a monotone voice, "We leave soon, Yuri'll be pissed if you leave him hanging." Drane then walks away to talk to his squad. He stops walking midway and turns around. He raises his hands up in a sarcastic manner. "Oh sorry, forgot you didn't need me to tell you that." He turns around and continues his walk. [[Meet up with Captain Yuri|escort 096]] (set:$friendship to False) (set:$beenthere to True)

You sit down next to him. "We'll make sure his death doesn't mean nothing, that it doesn't get repeated by another task force." Drane hears you out, feeling better reassured that Bronson's sacrifice will be avenged. "Thanks $name", he responds. (if:$nervous is true)["Sorry $name." Drane says. You tilt your head, "For what?" "I recommended you for 'Nine Tailed Fox', I put you at risk of being in the same position as Bronson." "You didn't put me at risk at anything. I wanted this job so that I can protect this world. It may not be perfect but I'm fine living in it. We couldn't protect Bronson now but we CAN protect the rest of the world. Yeah I was afraid starting this off, but I've lost that fear. Now...i've found what this job really needs from me." Drane asks, "And what is that?" You get up off from the ground and extand your hand. "Understanding", you say confidently. Drane smirks and takes your hand.

(if:$pissed is false)[Drane becomes furious and lashes out at the doctor after overhearing him explain to Yuri what the plan was, "Under the rug?! People need to know about this, especially people who are working close with 096!" "We can't risk that", the doctor says, "it is best that the task forces that handle any SCP don't know much about it so that information is less likely to be leaked. You're lucky that Yuri pulled some strings to let the interview log to be played at your briefing before hand." "Lucky?! A mauled man is splattered all over the side of Yuri's truck, and you're calling that lucky?!" "It's better that it was one of you than anyone else." You look at Drane after such a harsh comment from the doc. You see his hand ball up into a fist, getting ready for use. [[Stop him]] [[Let him go]]] (if:$pissed is true)[Drane throws down his gun and pushes you, making you fall to the ground and roll into a kneeling position. He goes for a swing, but you dodge the strike. You push him back which causes Drane to lose a bit of his balance and move back. He tries to charge at you but Yuri holds him back, with other members of the MTF E-11 holding you back as well. "The both of you, calm down! Yuri demands. You calm down, but Drane is anything but calm. He. Is. Livid. (text-style: "rumble")["YOU KILLED HIM!

"Drane! Come on man, come here." You yell out to him, following him over to his truck. "Stop! Just stop $name! I get that you want to help but you can't. So do me a favor and let me chill out, yeah?" You stay silent. Drane walks away to calm himself. When returning to your base, Drane wouldn't talk to you, no matter how much you tried, he would put you off.

With the experience he has in leading the MTF and in the Foundation as a whole, you decide to go with Captain Yuri. "Alright", he says. He then calls out, "Everyone, on me." As the rest of the task force comes over to you and Yuri, he explains the game plan. "We'll be splitting the fox in half, with one of us driving the transportation truck, that makes four on each squad. $name will be with me and my split squad in the truck in front of the transportation truck, known as 'A Squad'. Drane will be leading the rest in another truck following behind the transportation truck, they're B squad." "Everyone, you know your roles, lets get this thing to the other base quickly and quietly." You get inside of the truck with Captain Yuri and his squad, a few minutes pass by and Yuri calls over the radio, "All right fellas, let's get ready for anything." The three trucks get started and [[drive off]] into the risky populated roads.

(live:36s)[As you were escorting SCP-096, it became agitaed, screaming deafeningly. "What's going on?!" Drane yells out to Captain Yuri. "Someone saw it's face!" He exclaims. "But how?!, another member of the MTF asks fearfully, there's a bag over its head." As the MTF member was stating the obvious, Captain Yuri recalls having Bronson clean out the truck with the spilled file, assuming the worst, he told everyone to follow 096 as it chases down his prey. The rest of you follow behind as you reach to the underground parking structure. Bronson, with his goggles on, sees 096 ready to lunge. You all barely make it behind, with you being next to Yuri and able to see Bronson from the other side of the truck. 096 lets out a huge scream and spreads out his claw like rage filled fingers. Bronson takes aim, ready to fire at 096.

Drane lands a punch, leaving a huge mark on the side of the doctors face. The doctor falls down to the ground, giving Drane the oppurtunity to go for a ground and pound, Yuri and other members of E-11 try to drag him off the doctor. They do successfully, but not before he landed good hits to the doctor. "ARE YOU INSANE?!" The doctor yells in anger. "I should have you locked up in here with the rest of these unhinged animals." "That wasn't unhinged", Drane says. He pulls out a handgun, pointing it at the doctor. Yuri's heart drops. "WOAH WOAH WOAH!" Yuri aims his assault rifle to Drane, with you doing the same. "Drane", Yuri says, "Put. It. Down." "This scumbag cost Bronson his life! You held information from us this mission didn't you? That audio log wasn't the whole story was it?" The doctors eyebrows visibly begin to sweat. "WHAT DID YOU KEEP FROM US?!" "OKAY OKAY!" The doctor says, "you were also transporting a file about SCP-096, it contained an image and details about it, so we couldn't risk you finding out about it and only allowed Yuri to know about the existence of the file Drane is shocked. His own captain, knowing the file was in there, called for Bronson to clean up the file. Drane speaks up and says, "Yuri, you're lucky I don't have the gun pointed at you you bastard." "You better put the gun down Drane or I'll drop you", Yuri states. "$name", Drane calls out, "you think I'm the threat? Cap kept DEADLY information away from us, you could've ended up just as dead as Bronson." Yuri shouts, "Don't listen to him $name!" "I saw you enter his truck from the passenger side, Cap TOLD Bronson to clean up the mess from the passenger side $name...you could've ended up just as dead- hell, ALL of us would've died if that thing got agitated when we were out on the streets!" Yuri inches closer to pulling the trigger, "PUT IT DOWN DRANE!" "Who's the threat $name!? Who's the real threat?!" [[Shoot Drane]] [[Shoot Yuri]]

You think nothing of it, a mess in the truck isn't the biggest problem right now. The truck hits a little bump in the road and the glove compartment vomits out the file and what was inside of it. You don't look down so you can seem focused on the mission to the Captain. The captain looks down and sees the file folder covering the inside like a tent. "Great", Yuri says annoyed from the mess, "now there's a mess in my truck." Luckily, with the lack of traffic, you get there earlier than expected. The trucks park inside of the SCP Foundation base's underground parking structure for transports. Everyone exits their trucks, goggles ready and activated, and get SCP-096 out of the containment truck. Everyone, aiming their guns at the monster, with the hums of the truck colliding with the eerie cries of 096. "Bronson", Yuri yells out. "Yes Cap?, Bronson responds firmly. "Go clean up the mess in my truck, I don't want to come back to a sloppy truck floor." "No problem Cap." Bronson walks off. The rest of the task force trying to escort 096 into his new containment cell. Bronson opens the passenger door of 'A Squads' truck and sees the spilled file. He bends down a bit to try and pick it up but forgets his goggles are in the way and accidentally hits his face with the goggles. "Gah!", he said gruntingly, "Stupid goggles." He raises the goggles above his helmet and begins to clean up the mess. As he's cleaning up, he picks up a photograph that's facing the opposite direction and [[turns it around]].

You shoot Bronson in the head, his body lifelessly dropping to the cold ground. You slowly put down your weapon. 096 becomes docile, knowing that its target is now dead. Drane angrily walks up to you and pushes you against the wall, "$name, what the hell?!" He's angry, furious even! His head could emit flames if he could. "You come onto MTF E-11 and you kill one of us already?!" You try to explain your thinking, "what had to be done was done Drane, I couldn't just-" (if:$nervous is true)["Couldn't just what? Watch and see the mauling happen?! I knew you were nervous coming into this mission but...but DAMN IT $name!" ] "AYE!", Yuri exclaims, "You two can continue this battle AFTER we secure 096, got it?!" Drane pauses and stares a hole in you before backing away. Luckily, SCP-096 still has the bag over its head, but even without it, your goggles prevented such aggression to be triggered. Captain Yuri gets the files together and finds the photo Bronson had seen lying face down. [[He turns the photo around]].

<center>(live:2s)[He lunges.] (live:8s)[You fire at 096, along with everyone else trying to weaken it out of desperation. It has no effect. It finishes, sitting back down as if nothing ever happened, crying in a docile state, with the bag still over its head. You and the rest of MTF E-11 secure 096. With it's face blurred from your goggles, nothing blurs out the haunting chaos it left. You look down at Bronson, not being able to recognize him after what'd been done, has a photo next to his crushed skull. You pick it up and see a brain matter covered photograph of SCP-096. Luckily, with your goggles, it blurs out all facial recognition of 096's face, including photos. You see the file that had spilled earlier in the truck from the janky glove compartment, with the photo being from said file. You realize that if the files' folder wasn't covering its info, SCP-096 would've came after you. You put everything back into the folder and paperclip it shut. After informing Captain Yuri, he takes the folder and puts it in his vest. Yuri turns around and signals the rest to escort 096 to his containment cell. As everyone follows 096 through the containment hall to his new (cycling-link:"holding cube", "5mx5mx5m airtight steel cube to keep anyone from looking at it"), blood drips from its hands, leaving a trail that would lead to his previous target.

"You got nothing to say?! After taking a son away from a mother, after taking a man away from this fox, you say NOTHING?!" Drane lets out a rageful yell to try and break though the grip of Yuri but doesn't work. He looks at you dead in the eye and says, "It should've been you..." Yuri had enough. "All right, THAT'S IT!, he commanded, "I understand we lost a good man, but that doesn't excuse the both of you to act like little boys!" Drane finds his head, breathing heavily from his rage. Yuri turns Drane around to force his focus on him. "Drane, what $name made was the right call, there was nothing we could've done for Bronson- you heard the audio log. Nothing stops 096 until its targets are terminated. All $name did was make sure he didn't suffer through it all." He pushes Drane off of his grasp, with his mind turning at a million miles per hour. A tear sheds down his cheek as he walks back over to his truck. [[Follow him]]

Before he would go for the swing, you grab HIS shoulder. You don't say a thing, but the eye to eye contanct you have with Drane lets him know to calm it down and let it go. Drane understands your silence and backs down, unballing his fist. He points at the doctor and says, "We are not your jesters, you want someone to do your dirty work for you, then you better treat them like an actual person rather than a tool." He bumps his shoulder into the doctor and walks away towards his truck. You follow Drane over to his truck, but when doing so, you look back and see Captain Yuri hand off the file to the doctor. You turn your head back forward and follow Drane to his truck. You catch up with Drane, sitting down back first on the side of the truck. You try to console him. [["Screw that guy"]] [["We'll avenge Bronson"]]

<center>What is your name, Guard?<center> (input-box:2bind $name,"=XX=",1," ") (DON'T press enter. Leave the name typed in box for our SCP Guard data base filing. ) [[Get your task]]

With the time that you've known Drane, you feel as if being with him would make such a tense situation feel calmer. Drane knows when to be a friend and a leader, so you decide to go with him. "Alright", he says. He then calls out, "Everyone, on me." As the rest of the task force comes over to you and Yuri, he explains the game plan. "We'll be splitting the fox in half, with one of us driving the transportation truck, that makes four on each squad. My squad and I will be in the truck in front of the transportation truck, known as 'A Squad'. Drane will be leading the rest of you in another truck following behind the transportation truck, they're B squad." "Everyone, you know your roles, lets get this thing to the other base quickly and quietly." You go outside and walk over to the B squad truck and meet up wit Drane, dapping him up when seeing him. "You ready bro?" he asks with a smirk. [["As I'll ever be"]] [["Do I have to answer that?"]]

Everyone left stunned. They've heard the stories and rumors about SCP-096, how looking at its face, even for a millisecond, could end one's life. "That is what we're transporting. You heard what the 05 said, termination has been approved, and it is up to us to make sure that this thing can make it to its own demise without taking any more lives in the process." Yuri takes the tape out of the recorder and places it on the table. He notices you sitting next to Drane, knowing that you are the new recruit to the Mobile Task Force (MTF). "$name!" "Yes sir?", you say questioningly. Captain Yuri nods his head in approval and says, 'Welcome to the "Nine Tailed Fox'". You nod your head in acknowledgement. "Alright fellas, lets get ready, we leave in 5. I'll meet you in the containment lobby to extract 096." You [[get yourself situated]] with the rest of the task force.

You close it quickly with the file and latch it with the hook on the right side of it. You hit a little bump in the road and the glove compartment stays closed. Yuri look at you after your actions and says, "that things been bugging me since we started the escort", chuckling after a simple fix. Half an hour passes by, luckily with the lack of traffic, you're at the [[end of your escort]].

You turn off your computer after reading your latest email. It's time to report over to the containment lobby to group up with your squad. Not many D-class guards move up to a task force this quick, especially Epsilon-11, or "Nine Tailed Fox" they call themselves. You make your way to the lobby and meet up with a friend you've made since joining the foundation, Drane. "Hey $name" he says with his hand out, "how's it feel to be apart of the big time?" [["Nervous"]] [["About time"]]

"You heard the audio log", you yell out just as frustrated. "The thing can get shot down until it's organs are turned into mush, it will stop at NOTHING until its target is DEAD!" "$name's right Drane", Yuri says, "he made the right call in eliminating Bronson. It spared him the pain and gave us the time to secure them." Drane always had a respect for Captain Yuri, especially with him being his higher up. He listens to Yuri and calms down. Although he isn't happy for the circumstances of what had happened, he has no choice but to accept the reality. Everyone makes their way back to the base, with Drane walkin up to you after getting out of his uniform. "$name...I'm...I'm sorry about how I acted back their man. You see so much you just become numb to it, but I snapped. Kept holding in all this emotion from this job that I couldn't take it anymore and took it out on anyone in front of me, including you. Just wanted to say that I'm sorry about it man... can you forgive me?" (if:$friendship is True)[You extend your hand. "It's cool man, I get how this job can be, I don't blame you for losing it. If we go though with this, we do it together. Deal?" Drane shakes your hand. "Deal."] (if:$friendship is False)["First, you question my ability for this job? Now you want forgiveness after I tried to get some sense into you? I'm glad you finally came to your sense, but you should've had them knocked into you back at the transport checkpoint."] <center>**Lost Ending**<center> (set:$beaten to true) [[Play Again?|Title]] [[Credits]]

During your journey, Yuri encountered a problem with his truck, having the glove compartment act out on him. A file seems as if it is about to spill out of the compartment. [[Not your problem]] [[Try to close it]]

Luckily, with the lack of traffic, you get there sooner than expected. The trucks park inside of the SCP Foundation base's underground parking structure for transports. Everyone exits their trucks, goggles ready and activated, and get SCP-096 out of the containment truck. Everyone, aiming their guns at the monster, with the hums of the truck colliding with the eerie cries of 096. As everyone follows 096 through the containment hall to his new (cycling-link:"holding cube", "5mx5mx5m airtight steel cube to keep anyone from looking at it"). As it enters the cube, MTF Epsilon is clear to head back to the other base and disband for the week, after such a risky mission, the foundation believes you've earned a stress free break. Yuri calls everyone back away from the containment hall to the trucks. "Alright boys, good work out there tonight, now lets make the trip back as smooth as it was to make it here. We're leaving the transport truck here and just taking the other two. Alright, dismissed". You begin to walk off with Drane until, "$name, let me grab you real quick", Drane shrugs at you and gets to his truck. You go over to Captain Yuri, "Yes, Cap?" "$name...do you happen to know where the file is that was in the glove compartment?" You become confused, "Iiiit's still in there, isn't it?" "I checked the glove compartment, the file is gone $name. I looked on the dash cam and it seems like some doctor took it, thought that you were in on this whole thing since you closed the box so fast." "No...I wasn't." "Whatever is in there, seems like they were in a hurry to get it out of the truck." Yuri pauses, almost deafening silence from him but with loud body language, you can tell he is frustrated with the doctors leaving him out on important information. "Whatever", he says letting out a big sigh, "not my problem anymore. Now come on, you got an earned break coming your way." <center>**Mysterious Ending**<center> (set:$beaten to true) [[Play Again?|Title]] [[Credits]]

(if:$beenthere is false)[You help escort SCP-096 out of the containment cell to the truck where it will be placed in for transport. As they throw 096 inside of the truck, the Captain goes over to you and asks, "Look $name, I know this is your first escort, so I'm gonna let you decide whether to head with my squad or Drane's. I know you and him have a history, and I trust Drane, but I think it's best that you stick with me this mission. We leave in a few, so head over to me when you're ready." [[Go with Captain Yuri]] [[Talk to Drane]]] (if:$beenthere is true)[Seems like Captain Yuri is in the truck ready to go. [[Go with Captain Yuri]]]

After getting your bullet proof vests and helmet on with the rest of the task force, the eight of you enter meeting room 205 as was assigned to go to. You sit around the table with everyone else to discuss what the mission requires from us. At the end of the table, a tape recorder can be seen hooked up to the speakers around the meeting room, with the captain seated beside. After everyone is seated, the captain gets up from his seat at the end of the table. "Fellas, I'm not going to put this lightly, this mission is important for the matter of international security. It is up to us to prevent such destruction to this earth by transporting SCP-096 from this base to the other...and it won't be easy." Cap walks over to the tape recorder with a tape in his hand. "In order for you all to realize the grasp of this mission, this is the audio log of the interview with the captain from Mobile Task Force MAU-1 after the incident with SCP-096's containment breach in the past. Listen up, this is what we're dealing with lads." Captain Yuri pops open the tape recorder to begin to [[play it]].

After grabbing your weapons, everyone is given special (cycling-link:"'scramble goggles'", "goggles that scramble SCP-096's face so that it is unable to be seen. It has recently been altered to help cover all pixels of SCP-096's face, due to the goggles not operating functionally before in SCP 096's incident with a previous task force."). Epsilon-11 (MTF E-11) forms up at the containment cells to escort SCP-096. Everyone, waiting in anticipation for SCP-096's presence, finally sees the figure. A skinny pale 8 foot tall phenomenon with a bag over its head, although you have these goggles, it is up to you and the rest of MTF E-11 to make sure that those who don't have the goggles look at its face. You and Drane both look at each other, unsure of what is to come in the next hour. (if:$nervous is true)[Drane puts his hand on your shoulder, assuring you of your nervousness and to get ready on the task at hand.] (if:$confident is true)[Both of you shake off the uncertainness and nod towards one another for confidence in working together.] With AR's in your hands, Captain Yuri takes the front as you and the rest of the MTF begin to [[escort 096]].

We had two choppers, one with my team and one on backup with Zulu 9-B and Dr. ██████. We spotted the target about two clicks north of our patrol path.

Not animal roaring though, sounded exactly like a person. Really fucking creepy. We started firing when it picked up Corporal ██ and ripped off his leg.

You shoot Drane, immediatley killing him. Yuri slowly lowers his weapon and clears Dranes weapon from his slowly cooling down hands. Yuri checks doc and hands him the file. The doctor walks away. Yuri walks over to you and puts his hand on your shoulder, "this job never gets easier, but it seems like I made the right choice in bringing someone who knew that when joining the foundation. Drinks on me tonight" He pats your shoulder before telling everyone to round back up in the trucks. You take one more good look at Drane's body, his eyes still open. You kneel down and close his eyes out of respect, sure he was out of control, but he was still your friend. (if:$friendship is False)[You regret lashing out at him the way you did earlier, now knowing you'll never have the chance to make it up to him.] (if:$confident is True)[You reach over to his vest and take his joke book, something for you to remember the good times you've had and to never forget the good person he once was.

You move your gun slightly to the right and shoot Yuri in the head, with Drane shooting the doctor in the head. The other members of the task force continued to stand there and watch on, not interfering. A pool of blood pours down from the heads of the doctor and Yuri. Drane holsters his handgun and grabs Yuri's radio, eyeing the file in his vest. "This is MTF E-11, captain's down along with a doctor at the transport checkpoint. The doc and Yuri saw a photo of SCP-096 in an unknown transported file. The file is on Yuri's person so be cautious when disposing of it. I'll be taking charge from here on out for MTF E-11 back to the base." Your home base responds, "Understood, we'll update you as the new captain when you get back, we'll be awaiting your return." Drane throws down Yuri's radio, looking over at the rest of MTF E-11. It seems as if they understood why he did what he did. Yuri risked all their lives by not letting them know about the file when letting them know would've prepared them and made sure to secure and contain the file. You go back to your base, all is well with everyone with Drane taking charge. With the break given to MTF-E11 after such a huge mission, you and Drane celebrate his promotion by grabbing a bite to eat. When sitting in a table outside, Drane picked up his soda and poured it out a little bit for Bronson before taking a sip, you decide to do the same to follow him. <center>**Vengence Ending**<center> (set:$beaten to true) [[Play Again?|Title]] [[Credits]]
