1: Vidali is on her side in bed, wearing only a beater and shorts. She is lit by a phone screen that she idly paws at. The room is dark, dimmed with nighttime lighting.
2: She looks over her shoulder to Sedjet, who is grabbing papers from the bedroom.
Vidali: Shouldn’t you be asleep?
Sedjet: Shouldn’t you?
3: We see Sedjet in the lab’s lounge, pacing, holding papers.
4: Time passes as he paces, drinking coffee to stay awake, looking more disheveled.
5: Later in the night, as it hits morning, he’s still up. The room is a mess and he’s seated on the stairs, holding his head.
6: Vidali is finally asleep but doesn’t look comfortable, a distressed expression as she dreams, sheets showing mild wet stains from tears.
It took me a moment to realize, the doctors are really at wits end… One has lost all faith in his notes, another cries herself to sleep. NOT GOOD! 🙁
Makes me wonder what the martian has on his mind… I sense anterior motive with him.
… I just wanna hug everyone involved. Fuck…
This discussion reminds me of the 2006 song, ” I Wanna Be Famous” by Jessica Delfino.
Some of the song’s lyrics are:
But I’m not rich, I’m poor and lonely
I live alone in a small apartment
I watch TV most every evening
And cry myself to sleep
Fucking damnit, guys, you need a break. Get out, go breathe, but fucking hells I want one of their security guys to pay the fuck attention like they’re supposed to and help them! Soldiers aren’t just robots, they enlist to help people!
Assuming they didn’t take the smart route and literally use robot sentries(maybe gifted by the martians?). From what we know so far, the Black Idol has a lot of overlap with SCP-610, which means that you want to expose as FEW fleshy things to it as reasonably possible. Ergo, robot janitorial, sentry, and menial workers would be the best course of action.
Yeah, not to mention the purely psychological effects.
But Sedjet had said in “issue-18-page-4”: “We’ll be isolated here for a while”.
So, no contact. It’s only the 3 of them.
