"Sir? Got a minute?"

"Only if you've got the report on today's containment breach, Velasquez, otherwise you better not step into this office."

Monique waved the thick folder around. "Right here, sir. Aleph-Blue level incident. SCP-2829 breached containment at, ah, 13:12. Containment reestablished 13:35."

"Remind, me, what was 2829 again? It's been a long day and I can't be bothered to remember 200 designations right now."

Monique handed him another folder from the stack. "2829 is a Euclid-class, group of fat banana slugs that make people super happy so they can feed on their fat. We've had them on this site for years now, I'd expect you to remember that one at least."

Antonio rubbed his temples. "Velasquez, I'm running on two hours of sleep, give me a break. A whole twenty-three minute recovery for a Euclid like that, damn, they're not going to like that. Any personnel affected?"

"Just Vic Salinas from Maintenance. He was on his way to fix the lights in Research Lab 14. He was doing his Spiderman 3 dance walk in the hallway since no one was around, which is probably what triggered 2829 to jump onto his exposed ankle. He's still in quarantine."

"Is he OK?"

"He still seems happier than usual, but honestly I don't know whether it's 2829's effects lingering or the fact that he, in his own words, 'finally lost that damn muffin top,'" she said, imitating Vic's mannerisms.

Antonio tried to suppress a chuckle but failed, the dry corners of his mouth curling into a slight smile that disappeared as soon as it had formed.

"Glad he's fine, but direct contact with an SCP means even more paperwork for us. And how did the slug breach containment in the first place?"

"You're not going to like this, but the airlock lining in the door failed. We're honestly just lucky enough that only one slug went out as a scout. It took a little longer to recontain it because we also had to move the rest of the 2829s into a new cell temporarily."

"You know what this means, Velasquez, do I even need to say it?"

"Every bio cell in wing 14… do we even have room in the budget for that?"

"What do you think?" snapped Antonio. "Uggghhhh…"
