I unplugged myself from the charger, and the scientist had a cup of coffee in their hand. They had trouble keeping their eyes open. And eventually fell asleep, and spilled the coffee on the panel.

The door opened. I pulled the charger from the wall and packed it into the compartment behind my head. "Saved me some trouble" I said to myself, before stepping through and taking the scientist's wallet, and M1911. Before I began to Hotwire the door, I noticed a keypad next to a panel on the wall. It could just be a storage containment unit for extra ammo and such, but if not, the contents may or may not be useful for my escape.

"Warning: Keter scp 10302 is escaped, I repeat, Keter scp 10302 is escaped."

I ran towards the exit, but the guards quickly covered it. They all began to fire, and I pulled a grenade from the storage compartment at the back of my head, and threw it. I waited until I heard the ear piercing

I sprinted to the exit and shot the keypad with the plasma gun. I ran outside, only to be greeted by the sight of an entire army. Instead of opening fire, they waited until I reacted. I calmly dropped my plasma gun, grenades, and detached my wrist blade. One of the organics, this one wearing a dark suit, pulled out what looked like a taser.
