SCP-049 had requested an assistant for his operations and studies, and as you were a new research assistant, you were deemed expendable enough to placed with the dangerous anomaly. After being debriefed, you were given clearence to enter the containment area. Steeling yourself, you used your key card to open the door, a little startled on seeing 049 was directly on the other side, waiting. Thankfully, he made no attempt to exit or escape, and allowed you to close the door behind you.
