However, Leo's stay in the class disposable containment zone wasn't for long.
At first, he was scheduled to just clean around the site and some safe class SCP's which he got plenty of information on, so he didn't mind doing that kind of work.
He also made some class-D "friends" , one of which was a convicted murderer.
Weirdly enough, the guy was quite shy at first, Leo thought that he must've seen some questionable stuff recently.
After doing some minor cleaning jobs for a while, Leo got his first real task as a class-D personnel member.
Leo was laying down on his bed since he had already finished his tasks for the day when the door opened.
Leo looked over to the door and saw two armed guards looking at him.
"D-4811, follow us, failure to abide will result in termination."
"Yeah yeah, I know." said Leo while getting up.
Leo followed the guards meanwhile thinking, he thought he had finally figured out the entire progress of him getting framed, it was the only thing he had been busy with the last couple of days.
The guards escorted Leo out of the class disposable containment zone and brought him to the scientific research wing and brought Leo into a room where a scientist was waiting for him.
"D-4811, right?" asked the scientist.
"Yeah, and who are you?" asked Leo.
"You may call me Oscar, I am a junior researcher here at the foundation and you will be participating in a test soon, this is the briefing for said test."
Leo's heart skipped a beat.
"So soon? I've only been a class-D for like, 3 days," asked Leo.
"It doesn't matter, I am not allowed to disclose on what SCP the test will be conducted due to security reasons, you will be given a flamethrower and you will be instructed to light up said target with the flamethrower, do you understand?"
Leo clearly understood what the scientist meant, but he felt that something was wrong.
"Hold up, if you want me to torch something up with a fucking flamethrower I at the very least want a little bit more of information, you know?"
"I am unable to give you the information due to security reasons." said the scientist once again.
A folder filled with documents laid on the table in front of Leo, so Leo assumed that the information regarding the SCP would be in that document.
"If you won't tell me, I will just find out for myself." said Leo while quickly grasping the document folder.
He knew he didn't have long so he quickly opened the folder and scanned the document inside.
"Guards!" yelled the scientist.
The guards didn't hesitate for a second and slammed Leo's face into the table, resulting in his nose starting to bleed.
However, Leo already had picked up some disturbing keywords about the SCP he would be tested on.
"SCP-469... activates all neurotransmitters for pain... injects stimulants keeping victim from passing out..." thought Leo before feeling up his nose.
"Next time you do that these two will put a bullet in between your brain." said the scientist in a serious tone.
"I will not be participating in this test." said Leo.
"I guess you managed to see what this SCP is capable of doing, huh?"
Leo shrugged before responding.
"I used to be a surgeon before getting falsely demoted to class-D so I know all too well that this is one of the most horrible ways to go out." said Leo.
"D-4811, if you do not cooperate in this test you will be terminated." reminded the scientist.
However, the combination of all the mental trauma Leo went through the past couple of days combined with the threat of him getting killed resulted in him truly snapping.
Leo started snickering as a disturbing smile grew on his face.
The scientist tensed up as he observed Leo.
The snickering quickly turned into a maniacal laugh.
"You think threatening me with death will affect me at this point?! You've already fucking taken everything from me! You have ruined my life! But I can ensure you, I will be the one to pick the way I fucking die in this corrupted world!"
