> **SCP-8248:** And if I fail... again... what does that mean to my manager? Why do they all even bother if I'm not going to put in the effort?
>
> **Dr. Huxon:** You aren't bothering me.
>
> **SCP-8248:** You'll get there.

> **Dr. Huxon:** I won't.

It's going to be an uphill climb for you to get to where you wanna be, but - //(Dr. Huxon leans slightly toward SCP-8248 with a faux-conspiratorial nod)// - just between you and me... I think you're capable of damn near anything you set your mind to.
