[ 053 takes a step onto it, and a bright light flashes, forcing you to close your eyes. When you open your eyes, 053 in laying on the floor, her head bleeding and various body parts burnt. Your eyes widen and you take a step back. ] ----------------------------------------- You gasp in horror as 053 twitches and groans in pain. You rush to her side, but she rolls away. "D- Don't tou-ch m-me.." 053 curled up into a ball, her breathing becoming more steady as the wounds heal. You stare in awe as she gets back up slowly, her body fragile from the forcing of her wounds to heal. "We need to get going." she says and walks over the machine again, but this time it did not burn her. 053 motions for you to follow, and you walk over it stress-fully until you reach the other side. You fall silent for about 20 minutes before encountering another SCP. You freeze in fear, staring at it. SCP-682 loomed over them, it's jaws stained with blood. "682." 053 whispers. You look over to her. "What..?" You look back at SCP-682. "682." 053 repeats. 682 lowers it's head and touches 053's head with the tip of it's nose. "It's time." she whispers again. 682 nods and raises it's head. It roars. You cover your ears, it hurts so much. 053 doesn't cover her ears. You look at her, concerned. "Y-your e-ears!" You scream, unable to even hear yourself talking. What is happening?...
