Chapter 1 - “Containment”   

What was an average day turned into Raven and Qrow Branwen, a set of twins, being tossed into separate empty rooms. The two were now stripped of most of the gear and clothing they initially had, only wearing a shirt and pants. Hearing steps outside their rooms every few minutes. Minutes that felt like hours passed by, and the two, still equally shocked by what they had seen, would simply sit in the empty room quietly. Prepared to make an escape attempt once the doors open. After an hour had elapsed, footsteps and chains would be heard rattling outside one of their rooms. One of the doors opened releasing a large scraping sound as it dragged against the floor, footsteps were heard entering the room before yelling and a struggle ensued. Raven was tossed into cuffs linked to foot chains before being forcefully removed from the room. Qrow banged on the door, shouting in an attempt to draw attention to help his sister. As the footsteps became quieter, Qrow fell to the ground more nervous than scared at this point. The lights in the hallways and room would be shut off as a punishment for the behavior of the two. Qrow sat in silence as Raven was dragged to an interrogation room. Raven was cuffed to the table and chair, which were screwed to the floor, to prevent her from acting out.

Moments later, a woman in a suit with a covered face entered Raven’s room whilst simultaneously the lights in the hallways around Qrow’s were turned back on. Then, the same audible sounds as earlier, chains and footsteps crept towards Qrow’s room. He had no choice but to wait, then heard a lock slide before a hole in the door was opened. He leaned in to look outside but found himself staring at a flash grenade that had been tossed in. The bang was heard even from the room Raven was in, and she could do nothing but assume he met the same fate she had, locked in a room and secured to a chair for questioning.

Chapter 2 - “Twin A”

Audio Recording: Branwen_R

Suited Woman: “Now entering the room to speak with the female subject.”

The woman would place the audio recorder on the table before glancing towards Raven and beginning the interview.

Suited Woman: “Is this really necessary? They are scared, get these chains removed!” 

Suited Woman: “I’m really sorry about that, how are you doing?” 

Raven: “I’m not scared, and I’m doing as well as I can be, considering what I’ve recently witnessed.” 

Suited Woman: “Would you like a glass of water?”

Raven nods her head.

Suited Woman: “Get some water in here.”

The Suited Woman motioned towards the one way glass.

Suited Woman: “While we wait for your water, can I get your name?”.

Raven: “Raven Branwen.” 

Suited Woman: “Well, it’s nice to meet you Raven. My name is [REDACTED]. We just have a few questions to ask. To start, what were you doing there? A small town like that, nothing but nice families. You don’t seem the type to enjoy a peaceful environment like that.”. 

Raven: “We have friends that live there, or had, I suppose. It’s been a while since we’d last visited.”  

Suited Woman: “Well, I am sorry for your loss. These questions may be tough to answer, just let me know if you need time. While you were there, what did you see?”

Raven: “Just blood and clothes.”

Suited Woman: “We apologize that you had to see it. Did you travel with anyone else to that town?”

Raven: “Yes, a few others. I’m sure you must have noticed the corpses we left behind.” 

Suited Woman: “We noticed them, just weren’t sure if they belonged to you or not. Why’d you travel in a big pact if you were just there to visit some friends?”

Raven: “Like I said, we haven’t seen them for a while, and we wanted to make sure they were safe. There’s safety in numbers.”. 

Suited Woman: “A statement I couldn’t disagree with, you survived which is very fortunate. Which means you can run fast and remain collected. What do you do for work?”

Raven: “We take what we need to survive, from wherever we can get it.” 

Suited Woman: “You are scavengers?”

Raven: “So to speak.”

Suited Woman: “What happened to your friends you traveled with? What killed them?”

Raven: “I don’t know.”

Suited Woman: “Being truthful with me is much easier. You were visiting friends but traveled with such a large group. This day and age, you don’t have to do that. Are you sure you weren’t there to take items from the town? With what’s present in front of me its the only thing that seems reasonable.”

Raven: “We were just there to visit friends and found nothing but blood and remains, so we tried to leave but some of the people in the group had family and didn’t want to leave and everyone went their own separate ways to find people. We heard noises and left.”

Suited Woman: “Who’s we?”

Raven: “My brother and I. The other one you captured.”

A knock on the door would be heard.

Guard: “The other one is lying. They took extra measures.”

Suited Woman: “Alright.”

Raven: “What was that about?”

Suited Woman: “It seems your brother is also refusing to be truthful, my colleagues have decided to terminate him should he continue to do so. I have work I need to do and you are a waste of my time, if you aren’t straight with me after this, you’ll meet the same fate as him. So, I will ask one question and I expect you to answer it to the best of your ability so I can continue on with my day. What happens next determines if you do as well. Tell me, every detail, what happened?”

Chapter 3 - “Twin B”

Audio Recording: Branwen_Q

The man would place the audio recorder on the table before glancing towards Qrow and beginning the interview.

Suited Man: “Are you guys serious! Get these chains removed!”

Guard: “It's against protocol.”

Suited Man: “Talk to me about protocol and I’ll sit you in that chair next.”

The Guard removes Qrow’s cuffs.

Suited Man: “I apologize about that, how are you doing?”

Qrow: “Right now? Fine. Half an hour ago? Not so fine.” 

Suited Man: “Would you like a glass of water?”

Qrow would nod his head.

Suited Man: “Get some water in here.”

The Suited Man motions towards the one way glass.

Suited Man: “While we wait for your water, can I get your name?”. 

Qrow: “Qrow Branwen.”

Suited Man: “It’s nice to meet you Qrow, my name is [REDACTED]. We just have a few questions to ask, what were you doing there? A small town like that. Nothing but nice families. You don’t seem the type to enjoy a peaceful environment like that.”

Qrow: “We’ve got some folk in the area we haven’t heard from in a while. We were gonna surprise them with a visit.” 

Suited Man: “Well, I am sorry for your loss. These questions may be tough to answer, just let me know if you need time. While you were there, what did you see?” 

Qrow: “Blood and clothes, and… Well, a lot.” 

Suited Man: “We did, we apologize that you had to see it. We took care of it, it’s been taken care of. Did you travel with anyone else to that town?” 

Qrow: “Yeah, there were about 14 or 15 of us in total.” 

Suited Man: “If you were there just to visit some, as you said, folk, why did you travel with such a large group?” 

Qrow: “You know, now that you mention it. I’m not really sure. My sister kinda leads us around, she’d know” 

Suited Man: “Who does she lead around? You survived, meaning you are fast and are able to remain collected, even in situations like that. What do you do for work?” 

Qrow: “She leads the group, we uhh… live off the land, so to speak.”

Suited Man: “What do you do to survive?”

Qrow: “The same thing everyone else does.”

Suited Man: “I need you to be more elaborative and truthful with me. You traveled there with a large group to visit folk. You only saw blood and clothes, nothing else but yet your group is gone.”

Qrow: “Look, you asked them I answered. Don’t bitch to me.” 

Suited Man: “My patience is growing thin, I will ask you again. Why were you there?”

Qrow: “Listen dickhead, I was there to visit some people. I don’t know where any of my friends went, they ran off. Now I am ready to leave.”

The subject's chair is heard screeching against the floor as he stands up. The cocking of a gun is heard shortly afterwards.

Suited Man: “Sit down. Answer my questions truthfully and you can go. It’s really not that hard. Behaving like a child.”

Chapter 4 - “The End”

Written Report: Branwens_939

Reporter: 

“After both being threatened, they provided all the information we asked for. They decided not to be stupid. It appears Raven and Qrow were part of a tribe, going around and taking whatever they wanted through threats. Raven Branwen stood at the head of the tribe, leading them into one of the towns they usually collected payments from. She & her brother, Qrow, had been doing this for years, & it was always the same routine. They approached the town, but something felt off this time. The usual laughter of children playing that had once filled the streets were absent. The lights were on, but no shadows were present other than the tribes. The tribe felt uneasy and was unaware of what was going on. They walked the streets cautiously as they could only imagine what happened to the people of the town.

As they continued and turned the corner, they saw a path of pain caused by a pack of SCP-939s. The town square was stained red and covered in cadavers, and the surrounding buildings were covered in claw marks. They looked around, confused, eventually all of them looked towards Raven trying to understand what to do. Though, before Raven could say anything she looked behind the ones who stared at her, a look of pure fear in her eyes. She stood there, frozen in shock before mumbling something. As soon as they saw the look of horror on her face, they immediately turned around at once, only to be greeted by a pack of SCP-939s that had quickly crept up on the group. Immediately, they opened fire, only to fall one by one as the members became trapped in the jaws of the SCP-939s. They screamed & gasped, weapons clattering as they were dropped from the lifeless bodies led Raven & Qrow to believe there was no hope. The only two who didn’t fall retreated from the town as the SCP-939s continued to chew on the corpses of their friends. Mobile Task Force Nu-7 was deployed to apprehend witnesses and terminate the SCPs. As the twins reached the forest line, they found themselves standing face to face with the MTF. At this point, they were transported to one of our facilities to be questioned by our investigators."

Chapter 5 - “The Motion”

Request Form: Branwens_N7

Nu-7 Command Member:

“Reviewing the report we were forwarded and our first interaction with the two. It is our opinion that the two individuals should be brought into the Foundation's armed forces. The two were able to survive and escape a pack of SCP-939s, proving their fitness. The two were able to recollect the scene enough for a full report to be written, showing they were able to maintain their composure and not be mentally scarred by what they unexpectedly saw. Two of the most important things within this task force are mental strength and swiftness. On top of that, their unethical experience of taking what they want to survive means they are threatening. How they are threatening isn’t known, but we can find that out easily. They were also spotted carrying weapons, so we wouldn’t need to spend months teaching them how to utilize any form of firearms which means we’ll have more immediate manpower. They already saw the possibilities of what they may encounter, the only thing we’d need to inform them of is our goal, laws, and our enemy. A course on what every SCP is will be simple but time-consuming, the sooner we can start the better. Our only considered cons at this moment are the fact they are both siblings and selfish. It is unknown how strong their bond is, we are not sure if we will lose both if we lose one or if they will steal from the Foundation for their own greed. The request is only out of desperation with the recent losses we’ve faced during the termination of the SCP-939s.”

Chapter 6 - “The Beginning”

After carefully reviewing the reports and requests sent to them, Command authorized the recruitment of the two individuals. Meanwhile, Raven & Qrow were still sitting in the locked rooms they had initially arrived in. It’s been days, they’ve been eating but have had no news or interaction with one another. The same sounds as before, steps of boots and rattling chains were heard through the hallways until eventually, they stopped at each of their doors. For the first time since being questioned, they saw each other as they simultaneously walked out of the rooms in the guards’ tow. Naturally, they both attempted to resist but were quickly forced down and dragged along. After a long walk, Raven & Qrow were put into a break room. Shortly after being put into the room, two armed individuals similarly dressed to those they encountered prior entered the room, one carrying a rifle while the other carried a plastic bag. “Good evening Raven and Qrow, my colleague and I work for what's identified as Mobile Task Force Nu-7, we like to call ourselves ‘Hammer-Down’. We heard about what happened to you but are glad you are doing okay. Well, we heard what happened to your tribe, it seems like you guys have nothing left out there”. Raven & Qrow would remain silent as they are hungry, thirsty, and tired. The man carrying the plastic bag would pull out water bottles and bags of chips, placing them onto one of the tables. Raven & Qrow quickly grabbed them, drinking and eating, as the man spoke again. “Now, with nothing left. You will be lost if you leave, having to start again. You can work with us, use your skills to protect humanity. Those… things you saw, we take care of them and protect people. You will be fed, clothed, and taken care of. All you have to do is agree to protect humanity. You’ll be required to go through several training courses to fully understand what we do, but afterwards, you will get to do something meaningful instead of killing people for personal gain, doesn’t that sound fun?”. Raven and Qrow both stood up from their seats after nodding to each other. They both extended their hands towards the men in front of them as Raven spoke. "We never truly had a choice, did we…"
