As Meng Hao continues to advance his research, He Delves so deep, that he encounters upon the string theory. Its a relatively old theory but a valid one nevertheless. Getting attacked by a SCP that seemed to have been affected by a anomalous Temporal effect have caused a anatomical change in Meng Hao body and DNA.

He doesn't notice it himself but as he reaches out to these strings, the temporal field around him start running wild. Lightning starts coming off of him. His hand seemingly younger and older at the same time. After grabbing it, he looks around and tries wrapping it around an object. Realizing that what he grabbed are Temporal Strings.

Sir Seymore Alonso is fastidious in the maintenance of his equipment. How can a knight be seen with a slovenly appearance? His sword must be sharp and well-kept, and his armor and shield shine so cleanly that the sun gleams off their surface, and be polished enough that you could nearly see your face in them.
