After the collapse of the Winchester house, everyone will have some time to regroup. The dead can be given bodies, everyone can have the remnants of the miasma washed away, and the 2000's group can be brought up to date on what's been happening for the last twenty years. It's been a long day, and taking time to process it all is probably in everyone's best interests.

But they won't get to rest for long. About an hour after the house's collapse, several all-black vehicles will roll up on the site of the former Winchester house. Most people present should recognize the uniforms and logos plastered all over everything: this is a cleanup team, the kind sent in after a successful containment to make sure the locals don't talk about what happened. It must be nice to have a somewhat-positive reception for once, huh?

But along with the group, a certain misty-eyes O5 will make their grand entrance. And as they step out and look over the group, they have something important to say.

"You did it. I...thank you. Thank you for saving them."

There's still details to handle and paperwork and interviews to do, but that is easy compared to what's already been done. With everyone's efforts, a potential XK-class SCP has been neutralized, saving the world itself, all without any permanent Agent casualties.

You all have exceeded Foundation expectations.

Congratulations.

[ Boa doesn't know Karen very well, but he does always feel a deep sense of solidarity with her over the nature of their TV shows - and now over the fire truck, apparently.

So he's just going to... try and check on her? Wave his hand in front of her eyes? ]

Are you alright?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[It's fine, she's mentally still present! Just... distracted.]

I'm fine, I'm just...

We destroyed the Winchester House.

At this point, I'd argue it had it coming.

[ Strictly speaking it wasn't the house itself at fault for once, but it really amounts to the same thing in his eyes. ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

It's a historical landmark.

...was.

[finalguard]

[ He waits for an elaboration here, and none is coming. His respect for cultural heritage of America...? Low. ]

So?

[oceanicbutterfly]

So it was important and we just destroyed it!

[Going in circles...]

[finalguard]

[ Important for who though? Them? He doubts it. This abstract importance is just a distraction to care about... ]

I don't think it'd be of any more use to anyone if we just left it to that spider curse.
