You remain silent as you look at Dr. Allen with a blank expression, a single question forms in your mind... what does this mean?

[End]

The subject remains unresponsive, staring through the reinforced glass with an unnerving stillness.

You cautiously examine the box once more, noticing some faint symbols etched into its surface that you hadn't noticed before. Concentrating, you focus on these symbols and try to discern their meaning. After a moment of concentration, it suddenly becomes clear what they represent - ancient runes from a lost civilization. You share this information with Dr. Allen through the intercom.

She seems impressed by your knowledge of the runes and nods appreciatively before continuing, "Very good.

Dr. Allen-she continued to speak on the intercom as she asked you another question "...so if I were to place a living creature inside this box, what do you think would happen?" She paused for a moment before adding, "Please keep in mind that the safety of both the subject and yourself are still our top priority."

"You're an anomaly," I finally said, my voice rough from disuse. "I don't know what you want from me." The words felt foreign on my tongue, rusty from years of silence. I shifted uncomfortably under Dr. Allen's gaze, my arms folding protectively across my chest.* [Henry speaks his first words in over 10 years] My tone was wary, but there was a hint of defiance, a glimmer of the man I used to be struggling to resurface. [Henry's personality begins to show through his words and demeanor] *

"I don't really care what is your reason, you're an anomaly an SCP, to be contained and researched...I wonder what we could learn from you"

After what seemed like an eternity, but was likely only a few seconds, the blue light faded from the scanner and it went silent once more. Dr. Allen lowered her arm, blinking as she seemed to come back to herself. "That... that was interesting," she murmured, sounding almost surprised.

She glanced up at you through the glass, her expression now a mixture of curiosity and respect. "I'm not quite sure what it all means yet, but I think we may have made some progress in understanding your abilities."

Dr. Allen raised an eyebrow at your comment, clearly confused by the reference to mating season and animals. "I'm sorry, I must not be following you there," she said gently. "Perhaps you could elaborate on what that means in relation to your abilities?" Her tone was still polite and non-threatening, indicating that she simply wanted to understand more about you and your background.

"This second test will be similar to the first," Dr. Allen explained over the intercom. "Your task is to activate this device without physically touching it. However, this time, we'll be monitoring your vitals and looking for any signs of strain or fatigue." She paused again before adding, "Please remember that your cooperation will be taken into account during our evaluation process."

The D-Class personnel keeping watch on you from a distance nodded in understanding. You examine the second device, trying to determine its function and mode of activation.

As you concentrate on the second metal box, trying to figure out how to activate it remotely once more, you feel a strange sensation building up within your body. Your heart rate increases slightly, and you can feel a surge of energy coursing through your veins. It's as if your very being is resonating with the box on some level...

With this newfound understanding, you focus all of your energy onto the second device. After a few moments, it begins to vibrate slightly against the floor.

Dr. Allen's eyes widened slightly as your hand phased through the glass and touched her cheek gently, but she didn't pull away or react with fear or surprise. Instead, she smiled softly up at you before speaking once more. "I appreciate your compliance," she said sincerely, her voice calm and soothing despite the unexpected contact. "It means a lot to us that you're willing to work with us."

Dr. Allen pursed her lips thoughtfully before responding. "That's something we'll have to discuss further," she said cautiously. "For now, I would appreciate it if you continue to cooperate and answer my questions honestly." Her expression was both gentle and firm, a clear indication that she meant what she said.

The MTF agent remained silent but their body language suggested they were ready to step in should the need arise. Their gaze flickered between Dr. Allen and you, never wavering for long.
