Doctor Lost's SCP.

Item #: SCP-2395

Object Class: Safe.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2395, referred to by personnel as “the mathematician” is to be contained in a 5 meter by 5 meter by 5 meter concrete room with a standard 0.2 meter by 0.3 meter wooden desk at its center. The room’s door needn't be anything advanced or even guarded, as SCP-2395 is comfortable with its surroundings as long as a standard 100 page notebook is provided every hour. SCP-2395 does not require food or sleep and seems to be immune to the human effects of age.

Description: SCP-2395 appears as a dark skinned man with brown eyes, graying black hair, and an unkempt beard. The only crack in this otherwise completely human facade are the small square-pyramid shaped formations puncturing through the end of each of SCP-2395’s fingers. These formations regenerate like fingernails until they become pointed and appear to be made out of a substance similar to graphite.

SCP-2395 uses these strange fingers to write complex - but ultimately nonsensical - mathematical equations in handwriting of stunning quality. These equations contain variables completely irrelevant to one another, division by zero, and equations using transcendental and/or imaginary numbers incorrectly.

If SCP-2395 is not provided with material where pencil lead is eligible to continue writing, it becomes irritable and begins pacing around. SCP-2395 keeps it’s non-violent demeanor while in this state, and makes (at worst) only angry demands to be provided with writing material. That is not to say this change in mood goes without effect. While SCP-2395 is in such a rage, humans and sophisticated technology within approximately a quarter mile of SCP-2395 begin to incorporate nonsensical mathematical phrases into their speech or text, until these phrases consume their entire dialogue or SCP-2395 is given writing materials. If sophisticated machinery is not able to display text the machine malfunctions or breaks. Humans that cannot comprehend spoken language (such as young children, deaf people, etcetera) begin to engage in self harm until SCP-2395 is provided with writing material.

SCP-2395 was discovered and captured at ████████ University on ██/ ██/████ where it had apparently been stealing school supplies after dark. It had accidentally been locked in a basement area by a janitor where it went without writing materials. SCP-2395’s anomalous effects caused the entire building to fall into anarchy. When The Foundation was made aware of this event we investigated the area and discovered SCP-2395, who went peacefully with us.

This strange warping of speech is not SCP-2395’s only anomalous trait. SCP-2395 appears to have some ability to directly read the future, but whether it can alter future events is unclear. This ability was first exhibited during the following interview conducted by Doctor ██████ on 06/14/20██.

Doctor ██████: Hello SCP-2395. I have a few questions.

SCP-2395: [Continues to write equations even when looking up or speaking during the entirety of the interview.] Oh please Doctor, call me Mathematician. I quite like the nickname.

Doctor ██████: That is against foundation policy SCP-2395. Tell me, why do you keep writing those equations of yours.

SCP-2395: [Falters in writing and speech a bit, seemingly shocked by what it perceives as ignorance.] Equations?! No! These are conversations! Door wiring voltage equals 173 volts.

Doctor ██████: Wait, what was that last part?

(SCP-2395 continues writing without response.)

Doctor ██████: Alright then. You said that they were conversations. Who are you conversing with?

SCP-2395: Oh, Fate of course. Steps equals 32.

Doctor ██████: [Ignoring the out of place statement.] Fate? When you say fate do you mean time or destiny?

SCP-2395: Whichever you believe in doctor. I can’t say myself. Fatality likelihood; 98.325678421235 percent.

Doctor ██████: [Noticeably confused.] What was that last part?!

(SCP-2395 continues writing without response.)

Doctor ██████: SCP-2395. I asked you a question. What. was. that. last. part?

(SCP-2395 remains silent.)

Doctor ██████: Fine. We’ll have it your way. But I have another question. Why are people forced to speak like how you write when you can’t… have a conversation?

SCP-2395: I get lonely. I simply ask others to join my conversation.

Doctor ██████: Interesting. That's all I need to know.

SCP-2395: Oh, and one more thing before you go doctor.

Doctor ██████: What is it SCP-2395?

SCP-2395: 2 days, 5 hours, 12 minutes, 35 seconds, 4 milliseconds.

SCP-2395 refused to respond to any more questioning from Doctor ██████. 2 days, 5 hours, 12 minutes, 35 seconds, and 4 milliseconds after the interview Doctor ██████ was killed by SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED] after faulty wiring caused its cell door to open. Further investigation revealed that Doctor ██████ had taken 32 steps down the hallway containing SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED]’s holding cell. The obvious conclusion that SCP-2395 had influenced Doctor ██████’s death prompted the following interview by Doctor ████ on 06/16/20██.

Doctor ████: SCP-2395, Doctor ██████ was recently killed under circumstances you vaguely described. We believe you caused her death. Why and how did you do this?

SCP-2395: [Continues to write while speaking.] That's quite an assumption. I almost feel insulted. For the first part of that question, I had no reason to kill her. For the second part of the question, I didn’t kill her.

Doctor ████: Then how did you know how she was going to die?

SCP-2395: I wasn't just talking to her. I was telling her what the third person in the conversation thought of her.

Doctor ████: Wait… Do you mean “Fate”?

SCP-2395 refused to respond to any more questioning from Doctor ████.
