The Site Director suspecting SCP-126 was within Luo Shu's expectations—and he wasn't worried.
After rescuing Luo Shu, IR1901 had immediately returned to SCP-126's containment unit.
That guy was too cautious to take risks.
But then, new evidence emerged—pointing straight at SCP-126.
The Director pulled the elevator logs, revealing two "empty" runs coinciding with SCP-035's door activity.
"Empty runs? How?" Big Beard Jack scratched his head. "I thought weight declaration was mandatory?"
Luo Shu, anticipating this, feigned expertise: "Must be a system bug. Undeclared loads default to 0kg—so 'empty' elevators can still move."
The Director nodded. "I'll have Tech patch it. No more undeclared trips, even if legit empty."
Jack, still confused: "So what if it ran empty? Maybe someone pressed the button by accident."
Oh, Jack. Luo Shu gave him a pitying look. "The cameras show no one pressed it. Meaning an invisible rider triggered it—hence the Director suspecting SCP-126."
Jack's eyes lit up. "Oh! So 126's not just invisible—she's weightless too!"
...Are you sure SCP-126 is female?
Never mind. Luo Shu had bigger concerns: clearing SCP-126's name.
He activated Rainbow Lollipop's persuasion effect and pointed at the logs:
"Look here—the elevator briefly registered 72kg during ascent. If SCP-126 were involved, why would weight suddenly appear?"
The Director frowned. "A flying intruder? Someone who bypassed weight sensors by hovering?"
"Exactly," Luo Shu said. "SCP-126 has footsteps. No records mention flight or anti-gravity."
Jack, ever-helpful: "Maybe 126's a flying chubby girl? Shame—her voice is cute."
Luo Shu's eye twitched.
Are you trying to sabotage me?
He countered: "Impossible. Flight causes air displacement—SCP-126's never exhibited such traits."
The Director agreed. Soon, a report confirmed: SCP-126 was securely contained the whole time.
Case closed—for SCP-126.
But the Director remained puzzled: "Why would a flying intruder visit SCP-035 and leave empty-handed?"
Jack, unhelpfully: "Ask the mask!"
Luo Shu's blood ran cold.
That path leads straight to me.
He vetoed fast: "You trust that liar? It'd pin this on me just for spite!"
Jack, shockingly loyal: "Nah, you're my lucky charm! I'd believe you over that creepy mask any day."
...Okay, new Jack's growing on me.
Luo Shu made a mental note: I'll save your life once for that.
With persuasion and the Director's own distrust of SCP-035, the interrogation idea was scrapped.
IR1901's New Demand
Just as Luo Shu breathed easy—IR1901 dropped a bombshell.
SCP-126's handlers relayed a message:
"From today, SCP-126 requires three daily meals."
The Director blinked. "Since when does it eat?"
