<Begin Log>

Junior Researcher Shepherd: Oh, it's you. How have you been?

SCP-4091-1: Pretty good.

Junior Researcher Shepherd: That's good. So, has anything interesting happened since I left?

SCP-4091-1: Not really. We've all just kinda been hanging out.

Junior Researcher Shepherd: Yeah, I figured. Nothing really happened while I was there, either.

SCP-4091-1: That's not true. Remember how pissed Mike's mom was when he slipped and got mud all over his new jeans? We were laughing about that for years.

Junior Researcher Shepherd: Heh. Yeah, that was good.

Junior Researcher Shepherd stares at the floor. SCP-4091-1 and Junior Researcher Shepherd remain silent for 40 seconds.

SCP-4091-1: I miss you, dude.

Junior Researcher Shepherd: Yeah, I know.

SCP-4091-1: Will you ever come back?

Junior Researcher Shepherd: I don't know if I can.

SCP-4091-1: Why's that?

Junior Researcher Shepherd: I work here.

SCP-4091-1: What's work?

Junior Researcher Shepherd: You wouldn't get it.

SCP-4091-1: So, think you can come back later?

Junior Researcher Shepherd: Probably not.

SCP-4091-1: Damn, that's a bummer.

Junior Researcher Shepherd: Yeah.

Foundation security personnel arrive. SCP-4091-1 demanifests.
