My Little Containment Breach
Chapter 13: The First Night
Previous ChapterIt has been four hours since Pinkie Pie had last seen Twilight and Rainbow Dash. Being the pony Pinkie Pie is, she had dismissed the teleportation as being a simple mistake and that they would simply come back in a few minutes. Pinkie had left the tree library and went back to working at the Sugarcube Corner. It was a very slow day, but Pinkie didn't care, as she loved baking cakes and pastries.
"That will be thirty bits!" Pinkie said cheerfully at a stallion.
"Alright, here ya go!" The stallion said, giving her the bits. He had an afro and orange fur. Pinkie knew that he was somewhat rich and talented, as his attire pointed out. Pinkie then handed him four cupcakes and the stallion turned to walk away, but Pinkie stopped him before he could do so.
"So, what is your name!" Pinkie said with curiosity.
"The name is-" The stallion proceeded to say his name, but was cut off by the sound of the door opening almost violently. Rarity and Spike walked into the bakery, both with alarmed and concerned looks on their faces.
"Pinkie Pie! Have you seen Twilight and Rainbow Dash?" Rarity said, sounding as if she was in a hurry.
"No, actually!" Pinkie responded.
"We can't find them anywhere!" Spike said, sounding as if he was in anxiety. Something inside of Pinkie caused her heart to sink. Twilight and Rainbow Dash is still gone?! She thought.
"Have you asked the others?!" Pinkie said, scrambling to put up the bits she had and to close down the bakery.
"Oh yes, and they said the same thing!" Rarity said, "Oh Celestia help us!" Rarity shouted in drama, putting her hoof up to her chest as if she was having chest pains. Pinkie knew that Rarity was a drama queen, but for once she had a reason to act this way. Twilight and Rainbow Dash would have been back hours ago! Something was horribly wrong! Pinkie knew that this wouldn't of happened if she hadn't barged into the library.
"Spike! Tell Princess Celestia what happened! HURRY!" Pinkie shouted, hurrying even more to close the bakery. Spike and Rarity ran out and Pinkie shot out of the bakery's open windows, beginning to ask some of the ponies around town if they knew where they would be.

It has been two hours since Bailey, Twilight and Rainbow had arrived inside the security center. Bailey sat in his seat staring at the radio to see if anyone would respond. He sat there, motionless, for the whole time. As a matter of fact he had even stopped breathing for a while and he didn't seem to react to it, Bailey snapped back into reality and took a deep breath. This whole time he had waited and waited for a response that would never come. Bailey took another deep breath, and sighed.
"Fuck me..." He whispered to himself. The fact that it has been this long without contact from anyone shatters Bailey's expectations of finding more survivors. Although he kept the radio on, he turned his focus to the camera monitors. The cameras have been normal except for the occasional movement of SCP-173 captured by some of them. many of the cameras, however, are deactivated or destroyed as shown by the deactivated screens on several monitors. One monitor, however, was turned off. Bailey found this weird, as he recalled all of the monitors were to be on, even when a security breach happened.
Bailey flicked a switch on the monitor on and the monitor showed a random tunnel in the heavy containment zone. This camera, however, glowed much brighter than the others. Bailey thought it was the brightness, but as he fiddled around with the settings he found that the brightness was all the way down. Bailey stared at the setting with an odd look on his face. As he was doing that, something on the monitor flickered in the corner of Bailey's eyes.
Bailey looked at the monitor and saw that there was something written on the tunnels walls. It read "DEATH AWAITS YOU!" In blood. Bailey examined the camera, seeing if he could identify the source of the writing. Within seconds he saw something that shocked him. A pitch black humanoid figure walked out of the door and sat in the middle of the tunnel, next to the writing. After a moment of silence the figure's face looked at the camera. All Bailey could see is its white pupils. A bloody smile appeared on its face. Bailey moved his chair back slightly, preparing himself door something that was about to happen.
The face then appeared fullscreen, reciting the words "IT IS NOW YOUR TIME TO PLAY!" in a deep demonic voice. Bailey jolted out of his chair and sprinted to the corner of the room. The screen then flashed images of dead people, zombies, SCP-106's face, and a females guts slowly being ripped out of her body. Bailey sprinted towards the monitor and, with all of his force, smashed his fist into it. It fell of the table and hit several cords, knocking them out of the power outlet. everything except the radio and the outside security camera turned off, with the remaining monitors reflecting a glow coming from behind him. Bailey turned to look and saw that it was coming from one of the computers in the lobby. He grabbed a pistol from the table that the equipment was on and slowly approached the computer.
When Bailey's eyes adjusted, he saw a cyan pegasus at the computer, looking back at Bailey with a look of concern.
"Oh thank god!" Bailey sighed with relief, "It is just you!" Bailey said. He laughed nervously and sat down at the computer to the left of Rainbow Dash. He rested his head down at the computer and took several deep breaths.
"Are you okay?" Rainbow said. Bailey raised his head up and looked at her.
"Yes, i'm okay. Why did you ask?" Bailey asked.
"Well, I just heard a huge crash in there and you came in here, with what ever that thing you call a weapon is, pointing it at me." Rainbow said. Bailey sat there for a few seconds in the dark before responding.
"Listen, I don't want to talk about it. Plus you had me thinking that Tyler or someone was in here!" Bailey said. He decided to turn on the computer next to him for extra light.
"Hey, by the way, what do you have against Tyler?" Rainbow said. Her eyes gave a look of questions. Bailey knew just how confused or curious for answers she was.
"A lot of things..." Bailey said. He didn't want to talk about is, considering the fact that it would be two times harder to get the point across to a pony whose in love with the guy.
"What kind of things?" Rainbow asked. She knew Bailey didn't want to talk about it. She wanted to push Bailey to confess his hate.
"Just things i'd rather not talk about..." Bailey kept on stalling. At this point if he couldn't deter Rainbow, than he would confess.
"Well, I don't bite!" Rainbow said. Bailey turned to look at her. Rainbow had the type of face you would see in a cartoon where the characters acted cute to get their ways. Rainbows eyes glared at Bailey with desperation, almost as if they were staring into his soul. He couldn't take it anymore.
Bailey sighed, "Fine, I tell you what I have against him..." Bailey said, sitting back in his seat. Rainbow sat back in her seat as well, having a face of victory.
"Here at the SCP Foundation, my job is to secure this site, protect information, and escort Class-D's." Bailey started off.
"What's a Class-D?" Rainbow asked.
"A Class-D is a person who the foundation uses as test subjects," Bailey paused. "Tyler just so happens to be one!"
"That doesn't tell me why you hate Tyler!" Rainbow bickered. Bailey didn't want to stir up a argument with somebody, or somepony else, but he knew he had to continue.
"I am getting to that!" Bailey returned. "Class-D's are mainly recruited from death row inmates; people who are prisoners of war, terrorist, rapist, and murderer."
"Rapist?! Terrorist?! Murderers?!" Rainbow Dash's eyes widened at the sound of those words.
"This universe, this planet, Earth, is like living in the Everfree Forest but much worst!" Bailey added to his statement. He realized that he didn't tell Rainbow Dash about them being in a different universe, but Rainbow Dash seemed to have already known that. Maybe Tyler or Twilight told her? Bailey thought.
"Anyways, Tyler, being a Class-D, automatically disownes my trust! However he has told me that he was innocent. To be honest I didn't believe him. I had almost shot him, but that would mean that I would have to travel alone to the security center." Bailey continued. He paused to see if Rainbow Dash had any input.
"So, you used him?" Rainbow Dash accused. Bailey stared at her, stirring up a response.
"Rainbow, i'll admit. I have issues. I am overprotective, and have anger issues, which I am pretty sure you know," Bailey Paused. "But in a life or death situation, i'd rather be safe than sorry. Tyler has cause a lot of problems that just pours salt in the wound. I don't want him around because of that, Rainbow!" Bailey finished. Rainbow's expression sank, but she managed to whip up a response.
"What about the things that you said he'd helped with?" Rainbow asked.
"The most he had done is restore a local power generator, directed us and accompanied me!" Bailey said. "Rainbow, you got to understand. Something isn't right about him!" Bailey concluded. Rainbow and Bailey sat there in the darkness for a full minute before Rainbow whispered something.
"What was that?" Bailey asked.
"How old is Tyler?" Rainbow asked back. Bailey thought it was odd for this kind of question to pop up, but he decided to go with it.
"I don't know, let me check!" Bailey said as he swiveled in his chair to face the computer. He turned it on and the monitor powered up, slightly blinding Bailey from the brightness. He reached to type when Rainbow Dash muttered something.
"Bailey!" She yelped. Bailey jolted in his seat from the sudden loudness of her voice. He turned his head to her.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Your hand! It's covered in blood!" Rainbow pointed out. Bailey looked down and saw that his right hand was covered in blood. the keyboard and the counter was covered in blood, too. Bailey started to notice a singing pain coming from the hand.
"The fuck?" Bailey questioned it. He then traced it to him breaking the camera monitor in the other room.
"Rainbow, could you go inside the camera room and get my first aid kit?" Bailey asked. Rainbow nodded, heading to the camera room. Within a minute, she came back with a pouch with "first aid" on it. Bailey opened it up and began to bandage his hand.
"That's better..." Bailey said, turning back to the computer and starting to type.
"Where did you get the cuts from?" Rainbow asked.
"Punched out a monitor in there! A monitor was off and I turned it on, only for SCP-895 to start fucking with me!" Bailey replied.
"SCP-895?" Rainbow questioned.
"Camera Disruptions. The camera had to of been near the containment chamber of SCP-895! Unless..." Bailey trailed off.
"Unless what?" Rainbow asked.
"Nothing..." Bailey said, not wanting to panic Rainbow Dash. Bailey continued typing, then he paused to read something on the page.
"Here it is!" Bailey said, "Tyler Reznov. Age: 24!" Bailey continued.
"He isn't that much older than me!" Rainbow Dash commented.
"How old are you?" Bailey asked.
"Eighteen!" Rainbow replied. Bailey figured that be around her age.
"Twilight's Nineteen! Just in case you want to know!" Rainbow blurted out anxiously. Bailey sat there for a minute, trying to figure out why Rainbow seemed so anxious to get it out of her.
"How old are you, Bailey!" Rainbow asked.
"Well, if you don't know already, I've been in the foundation for eleven years. Take a guess at my age!" Bailey said. He really didn't want to disclose his age, but at the same time he had no choice, especially in this conversation.
"Twenty-nine?" Rainbow guessed. Bailey was surprised at how close she was to his age, so he decided to go ahead and tell her.
"Close! I am thirty-two!" Bailey said. Rainbow's eyes widened.
"You're double my age!" Rainbow said.
"Actually, if I was double your age, I would be thirty-six! Math Matters!" Bailey said, he decided to change the topic.
"So, why did you seem to anxious to tell me Twilight's age?" Bailey asked. Rainbow sighed.
"Well, Twilight seems to really like you, and I thought I'd let you know just in case you-" Rainbow paused, "Just in case you liked her back!" Rainbow finished. Bailey didn't know what to say. All he could do is blush at the statement. Bailey loves Twilight, as a character, but he never though of it as a relationship.
"Plus you both have a lot in common. You both can be overprotective! You both eggheads..." Rainbow said.
"Eggheads?" Bailey paused, "Haven't heard that in a while!" Bailey continued.
"And you both care for others..." Rainbow finished.
The two sat there for a minute, nothing making a sound, when Bailey looked at Rainbow Dash and noticed that the glow was still there, and that she was on the other computer.
"What are you doing on the computer, by the way?" Bailey asked.
"Well, looking up some history, I guess?" Rainbow said. Bailey looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
"You! History?" Bailey legitimately thought that what he heard was a joke, but Rainbow denied that it was a joke.
"Listen, as awesome as I may be, I still like to learn about the places I am at!" She Replied. Bailey nodded in understandment, before saying another word.
"So, I am guessing that Twilight told you what I said about, you know, you guys being in a TV show? Bailey asked. Rainbow nodded. Bailey then looked at his computer and turned it off.
"Well, have fun with you history research! I am going to the camera room and maybe get some shut-eye!" Bailey said, before turning away. It has been a long night, he sure could use the energy for whatever lies for him tomorrow!
