SCP-4902 The Gate (Scp Foundation Mythos x Gate - Jietai Kare no Chi nite, Kaku)

The three stayed in their place, rustling of bushes, the gust of wind, and the birds chirping are the only noises that are breaking the silence between the three. Josh continues to stare at his commanding officer with a gaping jaw, confused, bewildered, and most important of all, in disbelief. Josh took a step back and crossed his arms leaning his head back just a little bit, closing his mouth, and now started staring with a skeptical look. "You better have a good explanation or I'm reporting to the Major." Josh is not much of a snitch, but this is serious. Josh despises pedophiles, being a young hatchling himself he doesn't like the show Richard is giving him.

Richard almost immediately hopped off of the little girl that he had pinned onto the ground, patting off the grass and dirt that's stuck on his uniform before taking steps back to establish distance from the little girl who's now sitting up. Richard held out his hands to Josh, gesturing him to calm down and don't run off on him now before he could even explain himself. "I know it looks bad, but let me start from the beginning," Richard spoke, going slow and steady and kept calm with the whole situation. "I came out here to cool off my head, it sounded like a good idea since it's peaceful and Tuka even told me there are fairies here," They noticed the girl nodding to their conversation as if she knows English, maybe just a ruse to look friendly.

Richard sighs and returns his attention to trying to convince Josh. "I arrived just a couple of minutes ago, then when I'm in the moment the little girl jumps me and I'm forced to disarm and pin her. She almost chopped my head off with the halberd!" Richard exclaimed, putting more tone into the last part to make it sound more convincing, the little girl giggled and Josh sighed. Then something else came into Richard's mind. "Wait, how did you catch up to me so fast?" He curiously asked, letting his arms fall to his side, sure that Josh understands the situation now.

Josh let his arms fall to his sides as well, tilting his head slightly to the side and held up one hand that's holding the clipboard. "Roomy had trouble with the acquisition and sent me off to find you. And you're not hard to find since everyone knows where you're heading out to." Josh then glanced at the girl to see what she is doing, making sure that there's no real threat to worry about and after giving the girl a quick look, she's just fiddling with her hair watching both men converse. "Also I trust you, you're not the kind of guy to do that unless you have some unknown fetish." Josh teased Richard at the end, slowly returning to his relaxed, nearly childish personality.

Richard rolled his eyes to the teasing, striding over to Josh and took the clipboard off of his hand while Josh stood there with a stupid grin. Looking over the clipboard rather quickly, Josh gives him a pen and quickly sign the paperwork. After signing the documents he returned it to Josh's hands who looked over them again, then Richard returned his gaze to the girl who patiently watched the two men. "What do we do with her?" Richard asked Josh who glanced at the girl as well, As long as Richard knew the girl is not a part of the refugees, but she may be left behind by accident.

Josh just shrugs defiantly, not knowing what to do as well, but Josh thought it was Richard's responsibility since he's the higher-ranking personnel and his commanding officer. "You're the commanding officer Lieutenant, not me" Josh replied to Richard's question, genuinely confused himself but also not wanting to be put responsible for this little girl, he has his head full with the refugees and the kids back at the Fort. "But if you want my honest and humble opinion, we don't know much about this little girl, so I say we bring her back to base, the refugees and locals should know better," Josh suggested to Richard, and listening to it that's probably the wisest move, but he's still concerned to the threat she possesses to the operation.
