Under the Epsilon-11 commander's guidance, Luo Shu arrived at the staff cafeteria on Sublevel -1.
On the counter sat a 10-inch pizza box—plain cardboard, seemingly empty.
But when the commander touched it, the box rippled, producing a Florida Supreme Seafood Pizza.
Exactly what I wanted.
Luo Shu reached for the box, the Anomaly Catalog flipping open in anticipation.

[Item #: SCP-458]
[Designation: Endless Pizza Box]
[Object Class: Safe]
[Anomalous Properties: Pizza from the Stars. Pair with SCP-109 ("Bottomless Jug") for the ultimate survival combo! This box links to ██████'s pizzerias, delivering fresh pies on demand. Your taste, your rules!]
[Status: Contained]
[O]
Bingo.
SCP-458—the second half of his "survival duo" (the first being SCP-109's infinite water).
More valuable than any weapon: unlimited food and drink.
But as Luo Shu marveled, the cafeteria erupted in gagging.
"What the hell?! It's making shit-smelling pizza now?!"
Luo Shu glanced at his durian-stinky tofu double cheese masterpiece and shrugged.
Philistines.
He took a triumphant bite as staff fled.
Homecoming
By nightfall, Luo Shu was airborne, reeking of fermented delicacies.
Back at Site-19, he dug out IR-1901's throat mic.
"SCP-105-B—where is it?"
Static. Then:
"Can't move. Site Director's watching me."
"Just tell me the location," Luo Shu pressed.
"Won't help. That camera's high-clearance. You'd need a team to extract it."
Luo Shu cursed.
Of course. The Foundation distrusted its own tool.
After SCP-105 refused assassination orders, they'd split her from her camera—a precaution exceeding most Keter protocols.
Now what?
His last "Unobservable" charge was spent. IR-1901 was compromised.
But Luo Shu had other assets.
He pulled out the "Skin of the Chameleon" from SCP-261.
Five minutes of disguise.
Enough to infiltrate—if he knew where to go.
Time to visit an old friend.
The Next Move
Target: SCP-035 ("Possessive Mask").
The sentient artifact owed him answers—and had access to Site-19's secrets.
As the Chameleon Skin settled over his face, Luo Shu grinned.
Game on.
