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.

   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.

 
    "My gosh... that's just...wrong." Stammered Williams.
I could hear Agent Klein gagging and waved Swanson to assist him. We looked on towards the sight in front of us. There was a royal guard laying on the ground in front of us, his face had started so swell up and bleed. He was surrounded by a pool of blood and I could see him staring at us in fear. To me, he seemed to be begging me to help him. I knelt down next to his broken body and checked his pulse. He was still alive. I looked him in the eyes and I could see his pain, he was barely hanging on to life but he was determined to stay that way. I couldn't help but admire his efforts, but I knew it was futile. He'd be like this for the rest of his life if he survived. I motioned for Shades to come over. He nodded and trotted over as quickly as he could.
    "He won't live long." I told him quietly. He just nodded and unhooked a revolver from his belt and began to load it.
     Shades was known for not being very talkative. He tends to stay quiet, his real name is [removed], but we just call him "Shades" because of the fact that we barely see his face. He always seems to be wearing something that covers his face, today he was wearing a pair of dark aviators under the royal guard helmet he was wearing. Even now when he isn't wearing something that covers his face, he makes its hard to make out any facial features. Many of us think he does this so he can sneak off without a disguise.
    I turned around and looked at Klein. He seemed to have managed to keep his lunch down and was now sitting down on a nearby bench drinking out of a canteen that Swanson had given him. He looked up at me and nodded, he still looked a bit nauseous but other than that seemed rather okay. Swanson had come over whilst Shades was loading his revolver to get a closer look at the guard.
   "Do we know who he is?" He asked. I shook my head. There would be no way to tell without searching him for identification, and that would require touching him. 
   "If you have some rubber gloves, you can search him for ID, just be careful and watch for splinters." I responded.
    There was a loud crack of a gun going off and I knew it had to be Shades putting the guard out of his misery. I looked over and saw Shades sliding another round into the chamber of his gun. He had a feeling he'd need to use it again and so did I.
   "I hear gunshot does Strelnikov need to kill things?" Dimitri asked.
   "No, Shades already killed it." I responded.
   "Damn, I wanted to kill dead."
   "Soon, there may be more. And what did I tell you about the swearing?"
   "Hmph, only Chechens use "Damn". He grumbled.

 I just sighed and looked at the rest of my team. I might as well take suggestions on how to move on. We need to be more cautious now.
   "So... any ideas on how to move forward?"I asked.
   "We could try tank."Dimitri responded.
   "What kind of tank?" I warily inquired.
   "Tank by itself is fearsome. Fast tank is even more fearsome. Fast tank flying through air and trailing dust, flame and entrails of slain enemy is like hand of god ripping swath through the advancing horde of enemies. They falls to their knees and weep for their sins and beg for forgiveness, and that is when you rip them apart with coaxial machine gun." He announced.
   We all stopped and stared at Agent Strelnikov for a few minutes before any of us said anything.
   "Did you just quote your own training pamphlet?" Swanson asked.
   "The one about Beak Wetting?" Agent Yoric adds.
   "No, that was that one confiscated document O5 caught wind of." I said.
   "I FIND WHATEVER SON OF THE BITCH IS WRITING ARTICLE ABOUT MY BEAK WET HABITS, I KILL HIS ASS DEAD." Dimitri thunders.
We waited for Dimitri to calm down before we continued on. Personally, I'd take SCP-805 over Dimitri any day. Last time he got mad, he was severely reprimanded for publicly executing Dr.Bright in the third floor break room over an illicit calender.

We waited for Dimitri to calm down before we continued on. Personally, I'd take SCP-805 over Dimitri any day. Last time he got mad, he was severely reprimanded for publicly executing Dr.Bright in the third floor break room over an illicit calender.

 

While we waited, I decided to take role call for my team. Especially considering the fact that I hadn't even read most of their files.

      "Alright, is anyone missing, Dimitri has the task force roster so I'm putting my faith in all of you to be honest here." I announced as I took a quick look at all of the task force members. None of them said anything was out of the ordinary so I decided we should move on. I motioned for the rest of the team to gather up and I marched straight on into the brush.

 

      We reached the middlemost part of the gardens when Yoric decided to inform me that a few royal guards had been following us for the past fifteen minutes.

      "Um, Argos, sir?"

      "What is it Yoric?

      "We seemed to have attracted a couple of strays."

      "Well that's just brilliant."

      As if rehearsed, the entire team stopped and I waved the two royal guards over. To which they responded as expected, they wandered over and started questioning us.

      "Can I help you?" I asked as I motioned Dimitri over.

      "Yes, why is one of your patrol members not dressed according to code?"

      "Dimitri, you know what to do."

 

      Ten minutes and a two sedated royal guards later, we were back on SCP-805's trail. 

      "I need drink"

      "Oi, ye had a drink five minutes ago, we need you sober, not shootin' trees."

      "I was just gonna suggest he have another drink, but that works too."

It was pretty uneventful, other than Dimitri stopping for a drink every ten to fifteen minutes. Nothing happened. We were about to make another sweep through the gardens when Agent Swanson motioned me over.

      "We aren't getting anywhere with this, can't we just send up Dash to give us an aerial view on SCP-805? He asked.

      "No, that's too high profile, plus, -805 is made out of wood, we're in a garden, see where I'm going with this?"

      "Right, stupid question."

      "Not really. I thought the same thing until I realized she probably would try to catch -805 by herself."

      "We could try Dimitri's tank idea."

      "He has to retake an exam before he can drive a tank again."

      "Why? What did he do?"

      "We're you even paying attention to what he said?"

      "Oh right."

      "I'm surprised Epsilon five still lets him drive tanks." I said as we reached the midway point of the garden again. This time, we were at the northern most end of the garden making our sweep.

This is okay, except your pacing seems to be a little up the wall. Try having a little more in each chapter, it might take more time, but it does pay off when it's more than one scene a chapter. A chapter is supposed to be a bunch of scenes folding into one chunk of the story. Although I must admit, some of your characters make me giggle, especially Dimitri.

I'm not writing in chapters in order to reduce the risk of me losing the stuff I've written, This was originally several pages long, and then my computer crashed and I lost everything.

      When we reached the center of the park we were all, or at least most of us were, singing "Renegade" very off-key and taking turns dragging Dimitri towards the other end. Shades just rolled his eyes every few minutes and quietly chatted with Swanson. I eventually decided to have us wait for Dimitri to sober up. I sat down on a convenient park bench and watched Swanson and Shades try to get Dimitri to sober up by dumping Swanson's canteen on his head.

       "Ya know, It occurs to be that my canteen was full of distilled cider." Swanson said as an afterthought.

       Shades just laughed and shook his head. Shades and Swanson have been friends for as long as I could remember, it started with a D Class riot in the site 19 cafeteria, Agent Swanson at the time was incarcerated for killing three police officers, two riot cops, and a news crew with a janitorial mop. The D Class riot was a result of one of the facility's SCP's escaping and finding its way into the D Class incarceration area. Swanson was asked to join O-23 when the security team arrived and found Swanson sitting atop the escaped SCP and smoking a blunt.

      Pushing Swanson's old drug problem to the back of my mind, I looked over at Agent Williams. Agent Williams is known for being a big softie, he was a Level 0 when he was asked to join O-23, Agent Williams was the one that convinced Swanson to not keep the escaped SCP he captured as a pet and managed to get Swanson to even assist with returning it to its containment area.

      "Uh, Argos?"

      "What is it Dash?"

      Dash is, as you've probably guessed, RainbowDash. She is technically not even a part of the Foundation, I just have a bad habit of picking up strays on my way to work.

      "Why did you ask me to come along if you didn't need me,you know I have better things to do?

      "I didn't want you to come with,but Agent Swanson said we needed somepony with good flying experience." I replied and got up."Now, if you'll excuse me, I think Dimitri is waking up."

     Dimitri lurched, sat up, and vomited on my leg.

    I swear to Celestia, I am going to kill him.

    "Oops." Dimitri said groggily.

    "Och, ye cannae just keep drinkin' like that lad, yer gonna wind up in the gutter one of these days." Swanson said.

    We all turn and stared a him for a second before I finally decided to say something to him.

   "Chase, you're talking with an accent" I blurted out.

   "Damn, I did it again, didn't I?"

   "Eeyup."

  

    Six hours later, we were back on track and heading towards the royal maze. We had no luck in the royal gardens other than the poor guard that we found dead on the ground, so this was our next stop, Dash left as soon as I was done talking with her, which was a little annoying, but I'd rather not chase her down, yet. As it got late, Agent Williams approached me.

   "Can we just wrap it up and call it a night?" Williams asked me cautiously.

   I sighed and nodded, I was hoping to have this all done in one day, seems it wouldn't be so. I turned and looked towards the castle. There had been a slight commotion going on there, but I just assumed it was the two guards we tied up earlier managed to untie themselves and sound the alarm. I watched the sun set over the mountaintops and peacefully fell asleep.

 

   I woke up to Agent Swanson shaking me awake the next morning.

   "Uh, Argos, wake up, I think something's wrong." Swanson shook me.

   "Hmm? What is it Chase?" I asked sleepily.

   "Take a look!"

   I turned and looked around, and what I saw jolted me awake instantly. The garden was alive! I swore and reached for my sword, but it was gone. I looked towards the others, everypony had been relieved of their issued weapons and were holding makeshift arms. I looked around for something to use as a weapon and reached for a rusty old shovel.

   "Guys! Where's Williams?!" Klien shouted.

   I looked back to where Williams had been sleeping the night before. His bedroll was a mess and there was a trail of blood leading to some nearby bushes. I waved for everypony to group on me and approached the bushes. We were completely surprised by what happened next.

   I reached the bushes and pushed the branches aside to be greeted by a gruesome sight. Agent Williams was laying on his side in the brush, his throat slit. I didn't bother to check for a pulse, it was obvious he was dead. There was way too much blood for him to survive, he died of blood loss. Somepony, or something, slit his throat in the night whilst we where asleep.

   "I should call evac, we need to have the body collected." Swanson thought aloud.

   "No, we're ending it here, tell them we have a casualty and need immediate medevac, something else is out here. This place feels wrong, we need to leave, we aren't properly equipped to deal with a mimetic hazard." I said.

   The others nodded and Swanson went to radio for help. I sat quietly for a moment, it was hard to think that this bloodied corpse was one of my team members, one of which I was talking to just last night.I could hear Swanson coming up behind me and I sighed and turned around.

   "The radio is missing too, isn't it." I said.

   He nodded and went back to searching for it. I took stock of what was happening. We had no radio, no real weapons, one of our  teammates are dead, and something is possibly trying to kill us. I sighed again. Just a normal Wednesday afternoon for O-23. I thought.

   "Great all we need now is some creepy fog and a thunderstorm." Swanson moaned.

   "Shut up, you'll jinx it." Shades responded.

   "I swear Chase, if the weather takes a turn for the worse, I will personally hold you responsible" I added.

    We heard some rustling from the bushes and I turned too late. SCP-805 came charging out of the brush right at me and knocked me over. Klein was the first to react and tossed the sheet from Williams bedroll over SCP-805's head. I took my chance and knocked -805's legs out from under it. Shades got a hold on the sheet around SCP-805's head and pulled it to the ground. Swanson was busy trying to get some rope out of his saddlebag and Dimitri was grabbing another sheet to wrap around -805.

     "Remember, don't make full contact with SCP-805's skin!" I shouted over the chaos.

    Dimitri managed to wrap a blanket around the rest of -805's body and held it down with Shades whilst Swanson and Yoric tied -805 up. I eventually managed to roll over and get up just in time to bash -805 in the head with the shovel I found. Luckily, the armor I was wearing prevented me from making full contact with -805.Klein approached it with a wheelbarrow he had found nearby and we shoved -805 into it.

     "Hey Argos, I found our stuff." Yoric said holding up a bloody saddlebag.

     "Must've stolen come from that guard we found earlier." Swanson pondered aloud.

     "Williams must'a woken up to it and -805 killed him in order to keep him from waking the rest of us up." Yoric said.

     "Alright, Dimitri, you push -805 in the wheelbarrow and we'll cover you as we make our exit from the gardens." I said as were reunited with our weapons.

    On our way out of the gardens we were stopped by the same two royal guards we saw yesterday and several others. One of the two guards we incapacitated yesterday pointed us out and the rest of the guards approached us. I signaled for my team to form up on me and we reached for our weapons.

     "Dimitri, twelve o'clock high!" I shouted.

     Dimitri responded by shooting a grenade into the midst of the guards, scattering them. I motioned for Shades and Swanson to break formation whilst the rest of the team covered SCP-805 Shades removed his revolver from its holster and Swanson moved aside just in time for Shades to shoot one of the guards in the leg. The guard dropped to his haunches and Swanson proceeded to hit him in the back of the head, effectively knocking the guard out.

     One of the guards charged towards me, I has about to kick him when I realized I was still carrying that shovel from earlier. I quickly lifted the shovel up and swung it when the guard reached me, breaking his nose. I spotted Shades and Swanson run past, Swanson was missing his helmet and somehow Shades managed to hide a hooded sweatshirt under his armor. I watched Shades shoot a guard in the upper thigh and Swanson proceed to knock the guard face first into the ground. I motioned for my Dimitri, Yoric, and Klein to move. Dimitri responded with a nod and the group rushed forwards whilst I jumped into the fray. I knew Swanson and Shades would keep this up for days, given the chance. I rushed over to the duo, knocking a few guards out of the way, and the three of us charged for the exit as the gates started to close. Shades made it through the gates out of the garden with Swanson close behind, I however, didn't make it in time. The gates slammed shut in front of me and I stopped. Several guards made a grab for me and I jumped out of the way. Swanson and Shades turned back to help me.

     "Swanson, Shades, keep goin', I'll be fine!" I lied.

    Shades nodded and pulled Swanson along. As soon as I saw them out of sight, I pulled a pipe bomb out of my bag. Not big enough to blow open the gate. I thought. Two guards grabbed me as I lit the explosive's very short wick.

     "Eat this you snobbish bastards!" I yelled as several of the guards tackled me, I kept a death grip on the explosive. I could hear the wick burn out. I heard a deafening explosion and everything went black.

 

    I followed Argos's order and grabbed Swanson. We both ran towards the evac zone as fast as we could. We were halfway there when we hear Argos yelling and a loud explosion. Chase escaped my grip and turned around. I could see the horror in his expression.

     "Come on! Don't let his sacrifice be in vain. We need to move!" I shouted at Chase.

    He turned around and we continued running. 

 

    We reached the evac point and met up with the others. I began bandaging up a few wounds and turned to Shades.

    "Uh, I'll inform the next of kin. you've never been good at it." I said to him.

    "Does he even have a next of kin?" I added.

    Shades nodded, "He's in a relationship, and he has a filly."
