DATE: 12/22/20
LOCATION: L-14
ASSETS: ACF-7823-A, ACF-122
EQUIPMENT: A lead box, a pair of thick gloves, and a blindfold
PURPOSE: Transportation of an anomaly to another facility.
Pepper had taken exactly one person unblindfolded through her dimension before. It had not gone over well. She had been pretty young when it happened, but she remembered shuffling around in the dark, her feet bumping into the various hard objects that resided in the Dark Dimension. The pathway had been glowing behind her as she searched for the woman, shuffling blind through the darkness with whispers all around her. Voices told her “leave her behind” or “let us keep this one”. It had taken two days, many frustrated tears, and the help of one particularly helpful shadow creature to finally find the researcher. She couldn’t remember the woman’s name, but she would never forget the expression she had when they finally made it back out.
That was why she was standing there, gloves in one hand, a blindfold in the other. A heavy box made of lead sat at her feet, bound shut with industrial zip ties. The gloves were for Pepper- that box had some sharp edges- but the blindfold was for her security detail. Although she had been a researcher for three years and was generally trusted with the anomalies, it was common procedure to have them be accompanied by a security detail, regardless of how or who was transporting them. She wasn’t sure if the blindfold made them less effective or not, but the Foundation insisted she still take at least one member of the security team.
It just so happened, on this trip she’d be accompanied by an intern.
Pepper was particularly excited about this. She didn’t know many of the people on the security team. Really, she only knew the ones who had accompanied them when she had gone on the few field trips she had been on. So getting to meet someone new on the team was exciting because there was always the possibility for it to be a new friend in the making. And Pepper oh so loved making new friends. If she could be friends with everyone at the Foundation, she would surely try. There was nothing quite like seeing happiness on someone else’s face and knowing you’re the cause of it.
All that to say, that was why Pepper was standing at their meeting point- under the fountain in the southwest corridor off the central room on the main floor- with a box, gloves, and a blindfold. She adjusted her pastel sweater and tucked her hair behind her ear while she waited for the potential new friend to arrive.
