Gradient...he sounds so tired. Obviously what happened really must have been way to much for him. Dr. Buck sighed, as she than spoke out.

"Well...first off, can you tell me what happened, SCP-7131-1? How did you ended up getting shocked? You didn't do anything bad, did you?"

Gradient shook his head.

"No...in fact, it was out of nowhere. The shock happened when you left. I was simply minding my own business with my own thoughts, until the shock came to me. And it was very, very bad. But...I did have enough strength to see who it was that had done it. And it was what seems to be a security guard, and I believe it to be one of the guard that is supposed to be guarding the area that me and my brothers are in. He turned the dial up, and it made things worse, and I had to use my bone, which was sharp, in order to get him to stop, it worked...but...the shocking didn't stop. It did drive him away though, so...that is good."

Dr. Buck than looks down for a little bit, as she twirls a lock of hair at the front of her head, as she than spoke out.

"Well, we did see the guard that is outside of the containment room that you were in, and he has a bone piercing his shoulder. And Agent Lawrence knocked him out, but unfortunately, he got away before we could go and question him, since we paid way more attention to you."

This made Gradient a little bit frustrated at what he had just heard. The guard that he attacked ended up getting away from him, and they are unable to identify who he is under the helmet. Which is a very bad thing, since he could come back and shock Gradient again without any warning whatsoever. This made his fist clenched, but than, SCP-999 made a gurgling sound in front of him, as it nuzzled against his ribcage. Gradient stopped, before he sighed, as he than rubs his left hand against the top part of 999's slimy head, and that is if you can even call that part it's head, as it is simply just one single mass of slime with 2 nubs for arms. Gradient sighed, as he than spoke out.

"Well...nothing that I can do. Anything else you want to know?"

Dr. Buck nodded silently. She than spoke out to him.

"While you were...panicking. You said something. You were saying stay away from me, and mentioned a name: Infected."

The moment that she said that, Gradient flinched, as a look of fear was present in his eyes. SCP-999 nuzzled against him, and Gradient responded, but he is still shaking a little. Dr. Buck than spoke out.

"Do you mind...telling me about this...Infected?"

Gradient sighed, as he spoke out.

"Okay...I'll...I'll talk about him. At least...most of the information, and this 'most' that this information has, is very important, especially with my connection with him."

Dr. Buck nodded. She does not press him, as she had seen what Gradient acted like when he was out of control. After all, the last thing that Dr. Buck needs is for Gradient to act out of control again, and to accidentally destroy her. Dr. Buck took a deep breath, as she spoke out.

"Who is this...Infected person?"

Gradient than spoke out, calmly.

"Infected...he is not simply a...someone. He is...he is what I would call...a true monster. He is one of the strongest beings in all of existence, second only to...someone that I had worked for, as well as the most sadistic son of a bitch that I had ever met. Not to mention the fact that he is known by many people as...The First Destroyer."

This made Dr. Buck blinked. Gradient never used profanities before, and yet...he did it. Looks like whatever he is, Gradient must really hate or fear him.
