You are a member of the containment team assigned to SCP-038, and today you’re tasked with watering the anomalous apple tree. As you enter the containment chamber, you see the tree standing in the center, its branches stretching outwards as if reaching for something.

You approach cautiously, wearing your hazmat suit as per protocol. The overhead misters are already running, showering SCP-038 with a gentle spray of water. You take a moment to marvel at the tree, knowing full well its capabilities.
