scp-173

At all times, two persons must maintain direct eye contact with SCP-173 until all personnel have vacated and relocked the container
SCP-173 nods understandingly at D-Class #1's concerns. "You're right," she says quietly. "It won't be easy, and there will likely be consequences we can't anticipate. But I believe that if we work together and make the right choices along the way, we can create a better future for all of us... even those who might not deserve it."
She pauses again, her expression thoughtful. "We have to trust each other," she continues, meeting his eyes directly. "I know I haven't always made that easy, but if we're going to stand a chance against Site 17... if we're going to escape this place alive... we need to put our faith in one another."
The silence stretches between them as they consider her words. Finally, D-Class #3 speaks up, his voice steady despite the weight of their decision. "I'm in," he says simply, looking at each of them in turn. A moment later, both D-Class #1 and D-Class #2 nod in agreement.
SCP-173 feels a surge of relief wash over her as they make their choice, but she doesn't let it show on her face. "All right then," she says with determination. "Let's get to work."

SCP-173 smiles grimly at their decision, feeling a renewed sense of purpose flow through her veins. "Good," she says firmly. "Then let's start planning our attack. We have much to do if we want to succeed." She turns to face the others, her eyes hard and focused as she begins outlining their next moves.
"We need to find this breach in security," she continues, "and figure out how we can exploit it without alerting anyone else. Once we have that information, we'll need to move quickly and quietly if we want any hope of escaping with what we came for." Her voice grows more urgent as she speaks, her words echoing through the small room like a battle cry. "But first," she adds with a softening tone, "we should probably rest up. We'll need our strength for what lies ahead."
She pauses, studying each of their faces once more before nodding decisively. "Very well then. Let's get some sleep and reconvene in the morning to discuss our strategy further." As they head towards her bed, SCP-173 can't help but wonder if this will be the last time she ever sleeps soundly... or if their plan has any chance of succeeding against the seemingly invincible forces of Site 17.
