It was time for the team to be assembled. 682 and 049 were given anesthesia in order to be moved. 049 given a lighter dose since she wouldn't need to be knocked out for the entire trip. 682 on the other hand would be knocked out for 90% of the trip. Y/n and Sylvie would need no anesthesia.

Norman arrived first with mtf hydra, who set up the encampment outside scp 3008. Norman sent in hydra to secure the entrance to scp 3008. Putting bright beacon lights at the entrance and setting it up as a defensive position.

Y/n and Sylvie were the first to arrive at the scene. Norman met with them both.

Norman: Ah. You've arrived, that means you're teammates will be here shortly.

Almost on cue another truck pulled into the camp. Members of mtf hydra set up around the truck guns drawn.

The door opened and a figure stepped out.

Norman: Ah. Zero four nine. Welcome.

049: It's been so long since I've seen the outside world.

Norman: And by my calculations. The last member will arrive in three seconds.

Almost on cue the third and last truck arrives. Loud banging on the back of the truck can be heard.

Norman: Looks like she ain't happy. Y/n, would you mind taking the front for this one?

Y/n went close to the truck. The truck opened and 682 stepped out of the truck. She looked at Y/n.

682: YOU!

682 charged for Y/n who dodged her attempt to tackle him. Mtf Hydra stepped back closer to Norman.

Y/n continued to only dodge her attacks.

Norman: Alright. As fun as this is to watch, it's time to get to business. SIX EIGHT TWO!

682 switched her sights to Norman. She was about to attack.

Norman: I wonder how zero five three will feel with a few nerve toxins running through her veins.

682 let out a low growl.

Norman: I don't want to hurt her six eight two. But you are stubborn. So play nice, and you will get something out of the deal.

682 scoffed.

049: So we get something out of this deal Mr. Norman?

Norman: Just Norman, and yes. 5607 here, or his real name Y/n. Has already discussed the long term goal of our partnership. I will discuss the long term goals at a later date. For now I need results.

Y/n: What exactly are we doing here Norman?

Norman: In this Ikea is a seemingly infinite space. There is human colonies inside there. We want you to find one and brings it's inhabitants out here. We don't expect this task to be done within the time span of a day. This may take several days, or even weeks. But we need at least one colony to be brought out.

Y/n: What about food?

Norman: The scp makes it's own food. Just look for the average food place inside a mall.

Y/n: Anything else?

Norman: At night is when it's dangerous. You'll see the threat during the day too. I recommend hunkering down at night.

Y/n: How do we find our way back out.

Norman: We placed beacon lights. They are bright enough that you should be able to see them from miles away. Besides, in the darkness, light is easy to see.

Y/n: Alright then.

Norman: Good luck.

The team went into the ikea. They began walking straight forward. They walked for a few hours.

Sylvie: Daddy?

Y/n: Yes?

Sylvie: Can you carry me? My feet hurt.

Y/n picked up Sylvie and sat her on his shoulders.

049: I assume it will be getting dark soon.

682: I have the same assumption.

They walked for a bit longer until the lights shut off.

Y/n: Looks like it's time to set up camp.

049: Indeed.

They set up camp and got a fire started.

Y/n: It's only fair if we sleep in turns.

049: So who'll get the first shift?

Y/n: I'll take it. Then it'll be you, then six eight two.

682: Fine.

Y/n went ahead and got some blankets. He wrapped up Sylvie.

Y/n: There you go. Now you're a little burrito.

Sylvie: *chuckle* I'm not a burrito.

Y/n: You are my little burrito. Goodnight.

Sylvie: Goodnight.

Y/n sat on a chair and kept watch.

Outside the building. The foundation set up a base of operations.

Norman sat in front of a few monitors. Rorik walked up next to him.

Rorik: Everything is going smoothly so far sir.

Norman: Good. The plan is underway then.

Rorik: With all due respect sir. Are you sure you made the right choice?

Norman: Yes. Worst case scenario they kill each other and we keep them locked in there. Let it sort itself out.

Rorik: Are you really sure you can find a way to keep your word?

Norman: Oh Rorik, you underestimate me. Even if I can't do it "officially" there is a way around every-single-thing.

Rorik: I see

Norman: You worry about your part of this ordeal. And I will worry about mine.

Rorik: Yes sir. Mtf Hydra stands with you.

Norman: Be ready for new recruits. I doubt many will adjust to life once again without help.
