I made my way back to the surface via the tunnels I made from punching quickly made my way back to Pina and Sover, in Pina office we watch a video of my recording as Sover watch SCP-009-A (Red Ice slime) moving in group's and into the giant cavern and the massive red crystal spike
???: "What I have been thinking is that the red slime are moving like hive mind's"
Sover: "Hm... It's the most plausible reasoning they don't have a brain meaning no individuality, but what made them move like one is what concern me, because why and what is commanding them, and why are they attacking?"
Pina sitting at her desk
Pina: "Did you really have to punch your way I could've sent the construction crew done to do it for you?"
???: "Well... Ehem Well if we send down a crew there the slime could have come back and attack them and if we go a little too much they would've dug into the slime cave you saw earlier."
Pina: "Uh huh... But now we have a giant hive mind of red slime in a cave that is extremely dangerous to breathe in and any form of liquid can be dangerous."
Sover: "Not to mention the slime capable of melting and causing red ice effects."
???: "With an injured squad."
A moment of silence as we recognize the amount of issues we're currently having as Pina let out a sigh of her once peaceful work life have been disrupted as her body switch to that of a site director.
Pina: "Let's lay out all the issues we have, red hive mind slime, extremely dangerous environment and an injured squad... As Pina look towards at me. You have a way higher authority within the foundation can you call in extra squad?"
???: "No, the weather condition at the east station for air transport has called in the weather condition is very severe and won't be able to provide any transport until the weather is better."
Pina: "Great... sigh"
Before Pina stand up from her desk and pull out a white board and writes "ISSUES" - "SOLUTION" as she filled out the issues we just discuss.
Pina: "Alright summarize our issues, massive red slime hive mind have been found being able to melt human flesh and melting hazmat or sealed suits in an environment that can take advantage of that and crystallite in contact of any liquid and our only squad is currently injured with no backup arriving."
Pina: "As Pina turn towards Solver. Solver can you make some specialize equipment to help against the slime melting properties?"
Solver: "I can, but the samples the squad return back might not be enough for a full team to get a specialized equipment and the resources needed to make it, might be difficult."
???: "I can help with collecting the slime samples."
Before Pina went back to the board to write on the solution part.
ISSUES | SOLUTION
Slime melting properties | Specialist equipment
Low on Sample | Collecting
Injured Squad |
No Backup|
Hoard of slime|
Pina: "Alright 2 out 5 issues have a solution if the issue doesn't start piling up we can get started with these two. Tapping on the board."
Solver: "Alright than I will wait for er... Sorry I haven't gotten your-"
Vojah: "Vojah... Name's Vojah just not really the type for introduction."
Pina: "Alright and I hope your combat and extraction skills is good?"
Vojah: "Don't worry I wouldn't have been the O5 representative if I can't do some basic combat and extraction skills."
Pina: "Actually why are you here, why would you take the day and time to come here not even someone from the main base would have sent someone."
Vojah: "Take it as me coming here to help before things get worse."
As Pina sensing my voice and tone she doesn't press further.
Pina: "Alright... Solver will help equip you with the remaining ammunition and a weapon to help you gather some more samples... Urgh I'm sorry I am still hung on the fact that an O5 representative is helping us seriously."
Vojah: "Why are you so hung up on that just think of me as an extra set of hands."
After a couple of hours pass as Vojah is equipped with the standard hazmat suit with a bag fill with sample tube and small ball filled with liquid nitrogen to in case of the slime coming back.
I start waking back in the dark cave with light shining my way down before making it back the open cavern where I start collecting the ice crystal that struck Chojin before he had to peel it off his skin as I beak it apart by hitting it with a rock...
Before a red liquid slowly ooze out of the wall-Before I throw a liquid nitrogen ball and its pop like a water balloon as it gets frozen by the freezing temperature as I continue breaking the ice crystal into smaller fragment to fit in the sample tub. Just as I was finish and was about to take my leave two slime was blocking my path learning from the mole rat to instead of attacking it block my path before I simply use the rocky walls and jump over the slime easily as I make my way back to the Sover and his team.
As I look back at the slime as it seemly looks like they learn a lesson, and we are running out of time if it starts attacking right now with its full army of red slime.
