Agent Argos: A SCP Foundation Tale
Written by Argos
This is merely the beginning, think of it as a preview, post any thoughts you have in the comments below.
I instinctively cringed and closed my eyes as I stepped outside onto the deck and into the bright sun. I took a few seconds to let my eyes adjust and then went along with my work. I took a look around at the ship I was on. The USS Archimedes, an impressive ship considering the age of it. I climbed down the walkway and made my way across the deck to my O-23's quarters to check in on my team. I opened the door and frowned. They were all still sound asleep. Great. I thought to myself. Now I have to deal with waking them up.
"Plan on sleeping in all day?" I asked sarcastically.
Immediately Agent Shades and Agent Swanson were up out of their beds, as for the others...
"Hey, get up you guys, Argos is here!" Swanson urged the others.
There was some grumbling and a few choice words, but eventually everypony was up.
"You might all want to hurry, you're missing breakfast." I said in an attempt to get them moving.
"Psh, all the food on this ship tastes like shit according to the crew." Shades added.
"Yeah, but we aren't crew. So that means our shit tastes better." Swanson replied.
I sighed and lent against the door frame. Today is going to be a long day.
Eventually, they were all geared up and ready to go. Each team member was wearing armor identical to those of the Canterlot royal guards and sitting on their bunks awaiting orders
"Alright, I'm going to run you all through the mission one last time before we go." I said. "Is that understood?"
"Yes sir." Rang out from the entire team.
" Alright, we are going in to retrieve SCP-805, Poison Wood Foal. Now, I know this goes without saying, but don't let it touch you, got that Williams?"
"Uh, yes sir."
"That means, no petting it. Now, SCP-805 was last seen somewhere in the Royal gardens, so don't get overexcited and kill a shrub that's shaped like a foal. We need to get in, re-contain SCP-805, and get back out. Any questions? No? Good, our zeppelin lands in ten minutes, get ready!"
"You heard the pony, lock and load!" Dimitri Shouted out.
" Dimitri, take the damn ushanka off. we're supposed to look like Royal Guards, not Soviets!" I ordered.
He swore and took the ushanka off with much grumbling.
"And watch the language, I'm pretty sure the Royal Guards are more civilized than that."
"Hmph, Yes sir."
We reached the LZ and disembarked as inconspicuously as possible. Dimitri was wearing the ushanka again, I observed as we headed towards the Royal Gardens. I decided to let him keep wearing it, if anypony ojected to it, he would just beat them senseless.
As we approached the gardens, I was already seeing signs of SCP-805, namely, the prints it left in the soft soil and the bark it shed as it stumbled through the garden and motioned Swanson to come forward.He quickly trotted over and looked around at the mess -805 left and shook his head.
"You've gotta be kidding me, Nopony's noticed this mess but us?"
"Some of the guards did and Mobile Task Force Gamma-5 caught wind of it and notified us. So now we're here."
We heard some rustling in the bushes and quickly picked up our weapons which mainly consisted of bows and swords with the exception of Dimitri's grenade launcher. But what we were about to face, nopony could have forseen.
