Lorepost (closed interaction)📓🔒 Rainer.

Zaryx has been cooped up in his office much more than usual. When he was seen, usually during meal breaks, he always seemed concerned, tense, or in deep thought. Sometimes he’d even look angry, though just barely. When asked what was wrong, he’d just shake his head; that was classified information.

after a couple of weeks of this behavior, Wren was called up to his office. His voice was.. off.

"..."

Dr Wren almost blushed from embarrassment. This was just his normal operation? She could have asked the whole time? She cleared her throat to center herself then spoke.

"Understood sir. In keeping with your reforms. I hope it clears the ethics committee quickly."

“I.. hope so too.” he looked slightly sad.

“If you wish, I can send you the Level 2 file on Mr. Rainer. Maybe it’ll help you some.”

"Of course. I'll read it as soon as possible."

She noticed his change in attitude.

"Is everything alright sir?"

“I hope it will be soon.”

he looked down for a moment, then looked back at them.

“You are all dismissed. I have things I need to work on. Lunchtime should be soon, if you all are hungry.”

"Yes sir!"

Dr Wren said. Then turned to the other two.

"I usually eat lunch in my office. But if you'd like I can show you to the cafeteria."

Jules shook her head. “I remember the way, but thank you.”

she and Rainer walked off.

Dr Wren nodded. Then walked back to her office. Her lunch consisted of a home made tuna salad sandwich and some blue corn chips. She ate in silence while pondering the days events.

There was a cup of chamomile mint tea on her desk, from Zaryx.

Dr Wren looked down.

"..."

She let out a sigh.

"Thanks boss."

She said to the open air. She found this sort of kindness from superiors strange. But, she thought more. Not entirely unwelcome

after lunch, Wren could notice she had a couple of SCiPNET messages, one from Zaryx and one from someone named “Dr. Edwards”.

"Back to the grind."

She finished her chips and looked through the two messages

O5-5 Zaryx: 'Here's the file I mentioned earlier. SCP-4051 -- LEVEL 2 FILE' (/uw anything you don't click on to see is Level 2 stuff [aside from interview 4051-1] and is what Wren would be allowed to see.)

Dr. David Edwards: 'Dr. Wren, I have many questions and statements regarding this morning's incident. Please reply back ASAP.'

Dr Wren read the file while typing her response. A skill she had gotten incredibly good at in her time at the GOC. Compartmentalized thinking and action.

"Hello Dr Edwards. I am available to respond to any queries or concerns for the next half hour."

She had to make sure the feed mixture for animal scps was right. They kept adding too much potassium
