The squad captain and his team were led to another building where Sover is holding a bullet that he made.
Sover: "Well for you all to understand your purpose inside the cave this pullet contain a special compound inside is an alkaline solution."
Before one of the younger member of the squad raise his hand name, Kalian.
Kalian: "Erm why are we exactly going to do against an unknown SCP variant with an alkaline bullet?"
Sover: "Well to answer your question young boy as you can see in the footage the slime melt's the guards easily as well as the bullet's so what I am hoping to do with these bullet is a chemical damage experiment, seeing how acidic the slime really are, but there is another thing you must do."
Before, Sover put out a box filled with vials made to contain highly acidic substance.
Sover: "Here using these vials I want you all to collect those sample for research, see what it is made of and maybe if it links to the red crystal inside the cave."
Pina: "And before I forget, here is a map that will allow you to go deep into the caves without wasting time."
The mole rat squad nods in understanding as they start loading the specially made bullets into there magazine as well as grabbing vials into a special pocket for easy grabbing and putting away safely.
Couple Of Minutes Later...
The squad is standing outside the cave as they do one last checkup...
Ian: "Alright check your pocket and ammunition one last time, touch lights, vials, gas mask and med kits, long drill, shaped explosives and batteries for the radio?"
The squad all nod as they check their equipment and are all ready to start the containment. Before Ian nods at their confirmation as he clicks the camera on his shoulder, allowing Pina, Sover and the O5 representative to watch as they do their mission.
...
The team was walking through the cave and immediately were hit with extreme coldness, but they were built for this and went through countless mission where it wasn't cold, but what was not train for was the red tint as the ice reflect the light from compact submachine guns, shotguns, and sidearms.
The team were able to move around easily despite the bright red color as well as the ice below them, but thankfully they prepare for it since they're wearing spike shoes to not slip, as that throw another flare into the cave to make sure the slime or anything won't be ambushing them by hiding in the dark, but thanks to the map provided by Pina they were able to go deep inside without wasting any time on dead end's.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The O5 representative POV)
I watch from my seat and beside me are Pina and Sover all watching with the same intensity as I am hoping the mission won't be as problematic as it already is.
Before Sover start to make an attempt to asked me questions.
Sover: "I know you are here under the order of an O5 but why are they showing interest in a place like this."
???: "I don't know why, but I assumed that they have shown a little interest in a new variant of an SCP and want to categorize it."
Sover: "But doesn't the committee get to review it? Why would a mundane job get the interest of the ruling council?"
???: "That is not for me to think if they have shown interest in it, I am to give it to them, that is all to my worth."
Before the squad reach the part of the caves that wasn't map out, meaning they are deeper inside the cave than the researcher or guards have been station inside and the reason why? Because of the victim, that is now a solid mass of Red Ice including a frozen polar bear, seals and a fox.
Ian: "Alright, Nao?"
As one of the squad name, Nao hands out a few canisters of Liquid Nitrogen to the other teams as they start spraying on any surface, freezing anything that could touch the team as Nao now leading the team through the cave.
Nao: "Cap? You sure this is safe? I mean, with the nitrogen and all?"
Ian: "Just keep moving, the front of the caves were the only ones getting the cold and the deeper we go, the more red liquid is going to appear, so just keep spraying."
As the 7 member continue on their walk and spraying anything that is even remotely moving, they reach the area where the guards were killed as the squad secure the area making sure the slimes weren't there. After checking, they place a bunch of high power lights around the area and freezing it. Ian took a look at the guards and saw how badly they were killed with the red liquid now turn into ice by them stuck to their bones, even seeing the muscle in clear detail.
But they know why they are here and what they sign up for as they start collecting samples using the vial while Kalian, Ada and Chojin keep watch on the darker part of the cave's.
Ada was born in the scp foundation hospital station at Brazil so she was a slightly tan skin with pink lip's and with straight short hair since her mission are in dark damp cave's long hair are nothing but annoying to keep clean, with a body well train for moving in tight space's and train CQC (Close Quarter Combat) a perfect candidate for the mole rat's.
And there's Chojin who join the scp foundation simple because he had nowhere else to go, born in Russia he was already well adept to coldness he was trained in tight space condition since his body was already weak and frail, and naturally he gains a bit of muscle perfect for fighting and moving. With bright white color skin, with a short blonde hair that is now dyed to be black hair.
Chojin set's up the standing light to shine towards the dark while Ada and Kalian put the liquid nitrogen canister before opening it letting the cold slowly seeps out and flow towards the dark floor as the light turn's on.
Chojin: "Whew that's done..."
Ada: "Took you long enough eh?"
Before Ada kicked Chojin ass while smirking and chuckling.
Chojin: "For fuck's sake Ada can't you keep your focus on the cave?"
Kalian: "Come on Ada I'm sure you can keep touching Chojin once we finish this mission."
Ada: "Don't make it sound like that!"
Before Ada started slapping Kalian as he so desperately defends himself while Chojin snicker about it.
While Oven, Falis and the last Kaylan are with Ian as they extract the slime goo into the vials trying to ignore Kalian laughter. Ian sensing their annoyance since the red liquid on the skeleton could just kill them by touching and wanting his team to make sure everything goes well try to keep them calm.
Ian: "Don't pay no mind to them Oven just collect the sample's, and we can leave..."
Oven and the other grunt a little bit, but they continue to collect...
But while Ada was slapping Kalian for his joke's and Chojin just laughing his ass off they miss the red liquid slowly crawling on top of the ceiling of the cave...
