Chapter 73: SCP-1057 ''Absence of Shark''

Here we see you and Lindsay walking down the halls and you were talking to her.

(Y/N): "Alright Lindsay, before we meet the next SCP, I'll give you a little background on the creators of the SCP."

Lindsay: "Okay."

(Y/N): "Well the SCP was made from a group of people known as Are We Cool Yet?"

Lindsay: "Yeah I'm cool."

(Y/N): *Chuckles a bit* "Not what I meant, that's their name. It's a group of independent artists that make anomalous art and you're about to see one of their masterpieces."

You then open a door and both you and Lindsay see a giant tank made for a tiger shark and Lindsay sees nothing.

Lindsay: "I don't see anything, just an empty shark tank."

(Y/N): "I beg the differ."

You then grab a bucket of red meat and fish and you inject the food with blue non toxic fluorescent dye and then you go up on a ladder and then you pour the food into the tank. Lindsay then sees the food stuff disappear like it was eaten by a shark and she sees the shape of a tiger shark in a blue hue.

Lindsay: "An invisible shark?"

(Y/N): "Actually it's more like the idea of a tiger shark."

Lindsay: "How is this art?"

(Y/N): "Well it's an anomalous art like you make the Mona Lisa be able to talk to you or have a terracotta pot make endless amounts of water that will not run out."

Lindsay: "Oooh, I get it, so they're like artists but with magic right?"

(Y/N): "Well that's one way to call them but yeah that's pretty much what they are."

Lindsay: "So what do we have to do?"

(Y/N): "It acts like a normal tiger shark so we keep it in a tank big enough for it to roam around in it and feed it 3 times a day to keep it fed and maintain a visual on it."

Lindsay: "Soo... it's a pet?"

(Y/N): "Well more like one of those sharks at the aquarium."

Lindsay: "Oh gotcha."

Later on, we see Lindsay feeding SCP-1057 its lunch of meat and fish in the tank and she walks down the ladder and she sees Dr. Bright comes into the room.

Lindsay: "Hey Dr. Bright, I've been working with this SCP for a while and I was wondering how you guys found it?"

Dr. Bright: "Oh we found it in a swimming pool awhile back and it ate 2 people and bit the lifeguard's leg off. We found out about it from the hospital reports and we sent an agent to retrieve the SCP and we even found this."

Dr. Bright then gives Lindsay a note and she reads it.

Lindsay: *reading*"Panic means that the idea of a shark can be more dangerous than an actual shark. It can even be more dangerous than no shark at all. Are we cool yet?"*stops reading*"I can't believe someone would murder people just for art."

Dr. Bright: "Yeah, have you seen (Y/N) around here? I need him for something."

Lindsay: "He's with the O5 Council for a meeting with the CEO of the company Cognito Inc."

Meanwhile with you, we see you and Reagan sitting in chairs while the O5 Council are talking to the CEO of Cognito inc which is Reagan's father.

(Y/N): "I can't believe your own father used you to get the company back in his hands. What kind of a parent uses their kid for selfish reasons?"

Reagan: "My dad apparently, he will end the world and I want him out of the job as the CEO but my friends don't even care enough that the world is gonna end because of my father."

(Y/N): "When it comes to XK Class end of the world scenarios, the SCP Foundation has to use all of its resources it has on hand to try to prevent it or at least try to understand them or survive them."

Reagan: "Really?"

(Y/N): "Yep, if we have something that can stop an XK Class End of the world or any other K-Class Scenario then we'll do it. Like making false alarms, making human sacrifices for a god, or having Dr. Bright run for president."

Reagan: "Wait, that immortal mad man ran for president?"

(Y/N): "How do you think Bush won the election against Al Gore?"

Reagan: "Huh, that explains why Bush wants a Chainsaw cannon."

(Y/N): "That's why we kept him around. Hey, what do you think they're talking about?"

Reagan: "Probably my dad wants whatever the O5 is on to stay young?"

Meanwhile with Rand and the O5 Council.

O5-01: "You cannot have a sample of the SCP that is maintaining our youth and health just so you can get back with your ex wife."

Rand: "Come on, help a powerful man out, you guys are powerful men and I am a powerful man."

O5-04: "No."

O5-09: "You are reckless and you take your family for granted."

Rand: "That ain't true!"

O5-03: "We have undercover agents in your company and they report to us all of the activity that has been going on in your company since you got it back."

Rand: "Well you ain't a bunch of angels yourselves, the only thing that is giving you all a conscience is that stupid Ethics Committee. That is a waste of time and resources having a human resources department, we don't have human resources so morals be damned."

O5-07: "The Ethics Committee is the only thing that is keeping us separate from the Chaos Insurgency."

Rand: "Oh I'm sorry I thought I was talking to the guys in charge of the Chaos Insurgency since they came from your lap dogs you call Alpha-1!"

O5-05: "Don't remind us of the formation of the Chaos Insurgency."

Rand: "Seriously, you guys have done a lot of unethical shit over the years that it's a miracle that you're still calling yourselves humans!"

Back to you, you see that Rand is making the O5 Council angry and frustrated.

(Y/N): "I think your father is making the O5 Council go to war with him."

Reagan: "Yeah, I better go stop him."

(Y/N): "Does your father make everyone hate him on purpose?"

Reagan: "You have no idea."

(Y/N): "Wouldn't it be easier to erase his memory of Cognito inc? So he wouldn't ruin your life."

Reagan: "Nope, he will just use a backup memory program like when I try erasing his memory to not invite him to my 16th birthday party but he showed up and remembered because he had a back up memory program."

(Y/N): "I'll go calm down the O5 Council."

You and Reagan then step into view of both Rand and the O5 Council.

(Y/N): "Ladies, gentlemen please calm down."

Reagan: "Shut the fuck up dad before you destroy the world by arguing with the people who runs a organization that contains gods on a daily basis!"

(Y/N): "In the same way you destroy your daughter's life."

O5 Members: "Oooh..."

Rand had no words to say as you then turned to the O5 Council.

(Y/N): "Sirs and ma'ams, can we end this meeting before either one of you do something that you're gonna regret."

O5-01: "You're right, we have more important matters than dealing with something minor."

Rand: "Minor!?"*pulls out a ray gun*"You asshole!"

You then disarm Rand and then you break his arm and knock him to the ground.

O5-02: "That was the right thing to do (Y/N)."

(Y/N): "Well the Foundation is nothing without you guys, even though you do a lot of ethically questionable stuff, you always have a reason to do so for the Foundation."

O5-03: "Thank you (Y/N)."

Rand: "Gah! My arm! You broke my fucking arm you autistic lapdog bastard!"

O5-01: "Leave now Rand."

Rand: "Fine I'm leaving, but this ain't over!"

We then see Rand leave the room as you turn to Reagan.

(Y/N): "Was I a bit rough on him?"

Reagan: "Nah, he had it coming after what he did to me."

O5-01: "I think I speak for everyone when I say, that guy is a Mon-star."

Reagan: "Wait?"*to O5-01*"Have you seen Space Jam?!"

O5-01: "I am an immortal man so I know a lot of movies."

O5-13: "We do more than just run the SCP Foundation you know."

Reagan: "Huh neat, and I know you probably won't do this, but is there a way to make sure my dad doesn't remember anything about the Foundation or Cognito inc?"

O5-10: "We'll see what our antimemetics department does for you on that matter."

(Y/N): "Wait, that's a thing?"

O5-01: "Indeed along with our Department of Unreality."

(Y/N): "That's a thing?"

O5-09: "Yes and no, it doesn't exist nor do the people who work in that department, it deals with anomalies that don't exist."

Reagan: "And bad fathers too?"

O5-10: "I'm sorry but that's not it's general area of expertise."

Reagan: "Damn it."

O5-01: "But, we'll make some amnestics for your father to take, if he does take them."

Reagan: "Thanks."

O5-09: "(Y/N), you are given permission to escort Reagan back to Cognito inc."

(Y/N): "Thanks."

Reagan: "Again, sorry about my dad."

O5-09: "All is forgiven."

Later, at Cognito Inc, we see you drop off Reagan.

Reagan: "You know, it was cool seeing my dad getting his arm broken by you."

(Y/N): "Just doing my job for the Foundation, plus your dad was a bit rude about me being autistic."

Reagan: "Are you?"

(Y/N): "Yeah but he can't be a jerk about it."

Reagan: "Too true, but hey if you want a side job at Cognito Inc just send in an application."

(Y/N): "Thanks for the offer but the SCP Foundation is where I'm at."

Reagan: "Suit yourself, at least you don't have to end the world because someone told you to."

(Y/N): "Unless there's a reason to."

Reagan: "Well, you always know how to find a way around something and even if you were told by your superiors to exterminate the human race, you have a reason to do it."

(Y/N): "Yeah, if I was gonna exterminate the human race, I want it to be an act of mercy."

Reagan: "Hm, nice reason to do it."

(Y/N): "Well if you got something on your mind you know our usual meet up spot."

Reagan: "Gotcha."

You then drive off to leave Reagan as we see her head into the building and she sees Gigi smiling like she knows something about you and Reagan.

Reagan: "What?"

Gigi: "You like him do you?"

Reagan: "Wh-what...? Noo, I just need someone to listen to me about my problems, plus you know how my past relationships ended. I'm terrible at dating, remember?"

Gigi: "Alright, alright."

Reagan: "He's a good listener, he beat up my dad, and if he wants to exterminate all of humanity it would be out of mercy."

Gigi: "Hmm, sounds like he's an ethical horseman of the apocalypse."

Reagan: " Right and he has autism."

Gigi: "Well that's good news to my ears, most of the people who made the best conspiracies were autistic as well."

Reagan: *Realizes*"Holy shit you're right, how could I forget that!?"

Gigi: "Probably because you've been busy doing your work and screaming at your dad a lot."

Reagan: "True."

Gigi: "And from what I heard about him, I wouldn't be surprised that he ended the world in the most ethical way possible."

Reagan: "I bet he knows that there's a way to bring back all humanity."

Gigi: "Yeah, I bet."

Meanwhile with you, we see you reading the book about the four horsemen of the apocalypse and we see Lindsay sit next to you.

Lindsay: "Whatcha reading about?"

(Y/N): "The apocalypse."
