Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: POI-5148 is to be kept in standard humanoid containment at site 11. Cell is to be constantly monitored by video, and all SCP-XXXX manifestations logged. Meals must be from the gluten intolerant menu.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an incorporeal type-I projection. It occurs at irregular intervals and with variable form, but always in the presence of POI-5148. It appears as an approximately spherical window, 1 m in diameter, showing scenes with usually religious or mythical themes. SCP-XXXX has so far always attempted interaction with POI-5148, but never with others if present.

POI-5148 is a 38 year old human male, formerly active in promoting atheism and left-wing politics. It came to Foundation attention in 2015 after recording SCP-XXXX manifestations on social media. Following verification, the blogposts and videos were deleted, POI-5148 collected and associates administered type-B amnestics.

Manifestation XXXX-117:

Addendum: Following POI-5148's repeated requests for a terminal with internet, it was decided to experimentally allow it filtered receive-only access. This has so far resulted in greater compliance and psychological stability. Additional requests to work for the Foundation denied. - Dr Abernathy

Manifestation XXXX-451:

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is anomalously self-containing. During testing, it must be kept separate from any other anomalous items. It is to be emptied and refilled on the first day of each month.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an office water cooler. It stands at 1.5m, takes 12-litre refills, and has standard internal plumbing for its type.

A label identifies it as a ClearLife 2000 model, manufactured in 1993 by AqraRyus, with a serial number. There is no record of such a manufacturer or device.

The level of water in SCP-XXXX's bottle is observed to gradually fall, even during extended non-use.

Incident Log:

21/03/2013: Item is noted in cell 317, Site 19.

Researcher queries its presence, and supervisor orders its removal. Item is stored in site warehouse 3. During a routine inspection one hour later, item is discovered returned to cell 317, though in a different corner.

It is confirmed missing from warehouse 3, surveilance logs showing a camera fault for exactly 30.00 minutes, after which item is absent. Stock checked and no other absences found.

23/03/2013: Under Supervisor orders, item is taken for testing, and cell 317 sealed. Footage shows researcher administering preliminary tests, before data becomes corrupted.

"The lights went out and all the computers crashed. I got them rebooted after half an hour, but when I did one of the things had gone." - Dr. Hopkirk

Item appears in cell 478. Item designated SCP-XXXX.

28/03/2013: A review of the database edit log shows an entry for "New Anomalous Item: Coolerwater" being made on the day SCP-XXXX was first found. However, there is no attached user ID.

02/04/2013: In-cell testing performed on SCP-XXXX. Nothing significant found.

D-Class instructed to drink from SCP-XXXX. No unusual effects observed.

During replacement of bottle, lights flicker and electrical hardware in cell develop brief glitches.

14/02/2014: Following a minor containment breach, SCP-███ is stored with SCP-XXXX in cell 478. Cell footage becomes corrupted, and SCP-XXXX is discovered in cell 028, which is open and vacated for repairs.

Addendum: "We don't know how far it can move, or how it moves at all. It seems unable or unwilling to communicate, but it shows preferences, and it acts to get what it wants. We should be thankful it just wants to be left alone. At least, for now." - Supervisor, Site 19

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in Sites XXXX-1 thru -3. MTF Omikron-20 are to monitor its behavior constantly, and immediately report deviations from established patterns to HMCL.

Every 28 days, MTF are to enter Site XXXX-1 when SCP-XXXX is absent, and replace all secretions with functional replicas. Monitoring of replica devices is judged unnecessary. MTF are also to re-arrange the furniture slightly.

Civilian staff at Site XXXX-3 have been bribed through a front organisation to substitute SCP-XXXX's medications with placebo, and instructed that failure to do so will result in termination.

Description: SCP-XXXX is Leo Petersen Strauss, a 23 year old male unskilled worker. It is an unconscious Type III Unstable Hume Field Generator diagnosed with Paranoid subtype Schizophrenia.

Site XXXX-1 is the apartment of SCP-XXXX - Room 187B of Schwartz Towers, Carmel District, New York. It regularly secretes listening devices, over-large and inexpertly concealed. Examination shows them to be non-functional, containing electronic components randomly soldered together.

No other rooms in the building are affected and no other tennants show anomalous properties. Plans to purchase and repopulate XXXX-1 are pending.

Site XXXX-2 is a fast food retail outlet, workplace of SCP-XXXX. Examination of accounts shows it should not be economically viable. Staff demonstrate irregular periods of seemingly motiveless clandestine behaviour.

Site XXXX-3 is a pharamacy where SCP-XXXX is regularly supplied with Risperidone and Clozapine substitutes. Workplace of SCP-XXXX-2.

Manifestations:

SCP-XXXX-1: A governmental agency ("The ███") initially formed to surveil and intimidate SCP-XXXX. Its remit has expanded to destabilisation of South American governments, induction of economic crises, and modifying the formulas of popular soft drink brands.

SCP-XXXX-2: Anita Sarkesian, intermittant girlfriend of SCP-XXXX, recruited by SCP-XXXX-1 to poison him with pizza laced with Ananas comosus. Genus has no toxic properties.

SCP-XXXX-3 thru -44: Type-2 humanoid projections periodically manifesting outside Site XXXX-1, engaging in solo pseudo-masturbatory acts. None have been heard to speak, or been observed when not in SCP-XXXX's line of sight. SCP-XXXX-7, -15 and -32 have developed existential persistance and are being monitored.

SCP-XXXX-45: ████ ████████, a sitcom actor and popular musician. It is employed only in shows watched by SCP-XXXX, contributing nothing to plot but often alluding indirectly to minutiae of SCP-XXXX's life.

SCP-XXXX-46: A complex of tunnels and laboratories under Site XXXX-3. Examination of equipment shows no purpose of design.

SCP-XXXX-47: [DATA EXPUNGED]

Addendum: Applications for incarceration or exceptional termination of SCP-XXXX are no longer to be considered, by majority O5 decision.

Neutralised SCP-XXXX Instance

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard cell and provided daily with a literate D-Class Subject and at least 20,000 words of new reading material in their native language. Subject is to read as much as possible, logging possible manifestations.

After 12 hours, Subject is to be amnesticised and kept in solitary confinement for 7 days, with no access to written material of any kind.

HMCL is to examine the log and incinerate a portion of the material, aiming to limit infestation to ~500 instances.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a colony of cognito-parasites swarming in textual ambiguities.

Instances can lie dormant in written text for up to ██ years, but only in passages resolvable into multiple syntactically valid interpretations. When read by a suitable host, each manifests as an additional meaning and transfers to the host's short-term memory where it gestates for up to ~60 minutes. It then spawns into any ambiguous text read in the following 23 hours. If unable to do so, the parent text loses legibility and infectiousness.

Recovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered after an unidentified person gained access to Site 37 by possibly anomalous means, planting papers apparently containing transportation orders for several Keter class items. This may have been an attack by an unknown GOI. Researcher Pendleton received a posthumous commendation for relieving her supervisor when the latter attempted to implement a bizarre interpretation of the instructions.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained on-site. A fake military base has been placed nearby, and guards posted to prevent town residents entering SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an exit road, leading away from the town of ██████████, ██. The town's residents are adamant that the road has "always been there", although some elderly residents can uncomfortably admit that there was a time in their childhoods that it hadn't started to have always been there.

Any vehicle or pedestrian walking out of the town along the road will encounter roadsigns every mile, giving the distance in miles back to ████████. However, no other roadsigns have been seen, and the most distant sign so far recorded (by an unmanned probe) reads "██████████, 12,000,396 miles".

The scenery is uniformally of sand dunes with mountains in the distance. The terrain does not appear to "loop", and markers placed at the roadside do not reappear further along to road.

One cluster of structures, abandoned partway through construction, is 3km from the town. Dr G█████ surmises that this was part of an abortive attempt to establish a second town.

Other vehicles have been observed by agents, including the vehicles of other agents. Upon returning to the town, no anomalous effects were noted.

The road is visible from the air, where it connects after ██ kilometers with the town of ███████, but its anomalous properties only manifest on the ground. Planes flying above SCP-XXXX are visible from the ground, and agents in the vehicles can see the planes, up to approximately 5km along SCP-XXXX. Beyond this distance, planes and road vehicles appear to fade out of existence.

Occasionally, abandoned vehicles are seen by the side of the road, some containing the mummified corpses of their occupants. Testing has shown the oldest corpse to be 79 years from time of death, and DNA tests show some of the corpses to be town citizens who left on the road decades earlier. Cause of death in all cases is malnutrition and dehydration.

Agents walking or driving parallel with the road but more than approximately 1km "off track" report no anomalous effects, and arrive in the next town as normal. The reverse journey is likewise unremarkable, even if taken on SCP-XXXX. Thus it has been ascertained that SCP-XXXX is only anomalous in one direction.

Addendum SCP-XXXX-1: SCP-XXXX appears to allow for infinite space, albeit in one relatively narrow strip. Proposal for using SCP-XXXX for storage of foundation materials - or disposal of anomalous objects - is under O5 consideration.

Investigation into Incident ████-Alpha.
Statement of S████ K█████.
Details redacted on order of O5-1.

My name is Doctor S████ K█████ and I am a Research Supervisor with the SCP Foundation, currently holding Level 3 Security Clearance.

My position and clearance has been suspended for the duration of this enquiry. The Ethics Committee and HMCL have requested that I submit a written statement of my involvement in Incident ████-Alpha. I hereby affirm under the standard penalties that this account is accurate to the best of my abilities.

In July of 19██ the foundation heard rumours of a "Moon Child" living in ███████████, a small, remote village in Mozambique. It was a low priority as the rumours were vague and there was no reason to suspect the anomaly was dangerous. After a delay of 11 months, investigators visited the village, where the inhabitants immediately introduced them to B██████ T███, a seven year old boy whose visibility waxed and waned with the phases of the moon.

The boy was otherwise normal, and his anomalous behavior, seen since birth, had been rationalised into the local belief system. He was treated as a normal child, well integrated into village life, and happy.

The investigation team, under the direction of Doctor G█████ V███████, apprehended the boy, administered Class D amnestics to all 6██ village members and implanted false memories of a brief but virulent disease outbreak which had killed nearly a hundred people including the boy. They terminated a random selection of very young and elderly villagers, released a toxin into the village well to simulate lingering effects of the outbreak, and returned to Site 36 with the boy under sedation.

Doctor V███████ was later reprimanded for use of excessive force in apprehending an anomalous item.

At Site 36 the boy was designated SCP-████ and processed. The following is an excerpt from his containment file:

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Subject is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell, with bed, television and video games. It is to be fed standard humanoid meals three times a day, with the exception that it is not to be given pork or the meat of carnivorous animals, as it refuses to eat them for religious reasons.

Description: SCP-████ is an African human male of 7 or 8 years. Its body oscillates between normal opacity and 95% transparency in a cycle of 28 days. It is otherwise healthy and non-anomalous.

It speaks a dialect of Khosian, but has been picking up simple English. From prelimary interrogation upon induction, it seems to regard its anomalous nature as a minor oddity, for which it has no explanation and no curiosity.

[REDACTED FOR RELEVANCE]

No testing procedures are planned.

Addendum ████-1: SCP-████'s emotional state has become progressively unstable. It is docile and co-operative, but prone to depression and has begun to attempt self-harm. For this reason a counsellor will be assigned as soon as one becomes available who can speak its language.

At this time I was a technical supervisor at Site 36, charged with training and evaluation of technicians and maintenance staff. One trainee was P████ Z███████. He showed aptitude with security systems and was instrumental in containing an outbreak of the SCP-████ sentient computer virus [See report on the SCP-████-Gamma incident].

Z███████ requested additional training in Research, and I agreed to have him temporarily reassigned as researcher trainee at the same site. Site Supervisor ██████████ gave assent on a probationary basis.

Z███████ performed his duties adequately and I never heard any complaints about his conduct. As I was no longer directly supervising him, I saw him only socially in the canteen, where we sometimes shared coffee breaks.

Over the course of several months I noticed Z███████ becoming increaingly pre-occupied with the containment of the boy SCP-████. He said the containment seemed pointless because SCP-████ clearly posed no danger and there was no useful information to be extracted. Z███████ stated that SCP-████ should never have been taken from his family, and that the Foundation needed to ask itself whether all anomalous items really needed to be hidden from the public.

I reminded him that returning SCP-████ to his people, even if were possible, would do more harm than good, and that the Foundation was not in the business of hurting people for the sake of it.

Z██████ expressed the opinion that just as ordinary people become acclimatised to poltergeist hauntings and mundane unexplained events, they could adapt to benign anomalous items in their presence.

I did not report these conversations at the time simply because I did not regard them as more significant than the normal work-related grumblings present at every other table in the canteen every day.

On January 23rd 19██, Z██████ came to my office in an agitated state. He said he wanted to officially request to adopt SCP-████ as his own son. He said it would be a way to keep the boy within the Foundation's orbit, without having to imprison him. Z██████ wanted me to sponsor his application.

I told him in no uncertain terms that I could do no such thing, and that I would have to report this to Site Supervisor ██████████. Z██████ stormed out, saying he would take this to the O5s. I wrote a memo to Supervisor ██████████, who I later learned had issued a verbal caution to Z██████.

I did not see or hear from Z██████ for the next 15 days, but from what I later heard, he was diligent in his duties, if somewhat withdrawn.

On February 8th 19██ I was off-base at a training seminar. On my return I learned that Z██████ had persuaded the guard to let him into SCP-████'s cell, and security camera footage showed him with the boy for the next 44 minutes, talking together and sometimes hugging.

Z██████ then produced two syringes from his pocket, injecting first SCP-████ and then himself. It seems he had somehow acquired 30 doses of Class A amnestic, injecting 25 times the standard dose into SCP-████ and the remainder into himself.

In the case of SCP-████ the result was instant brain-death. For Z██████, a complete erasure of all adult memories, with no possibility of recovery.

The subsequent investigation found the guard negligent, and the security protocols regarding the signing-out of amnestics inconsistently applied. Friends and colleagues of Z██████ were interrogated but cleared of blame. Site Supervisor ██████████ was demoted and transferred to site 174.

SCP-████ was incinerated and the classification made available. Z██████ was moved to a Foundation hospital, but I have no knowledge of his status after that.

In closing, I wish to emphasise that I only knew Z██████ professionally, and at the time I supported his application for Research training he had shown no signs of psychological instability. I admit that perhaps I should have become more concerned about his stated beliefs vis-a-vis the need for containment of Safe items.

I understand that HMCL have taken the unusual step of classifying this investigation above Level 4, with attendant enhanced security protocols which I will of course abide by. I wish only for a swift and fair resolution, so I can return to work.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in Box 134, warehouse 2 at Site 39, together with any further instances discovered.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a DVD boxset of the sitcom "Married with Children", season 12. It contains 24 episodes, each of approximately 22 minutes, datestamped 1998. The packaging, discs and data coding show no anomalous properties. It should be noted that the series ran for 11 seasons, finishing in 1997.

The settings and characters of SCP-XXXX are the same as previous seasons, except that the house is falling into disrepair and all characters are deceased.

Episode 1 opens with Al Bundy (portrayed by Ed O'Neill), pale with mouth hanging open, slumped on his couch. The scene runs for six minutes, with Bundy unmoving until his head lolls to one side, followed by canned laughter.

The next scene shows the son Bud Bundy (David Faustino) and the dog Lucky, both apparently dead though of no discernable cause. Faustino is visibly breathing.

The remainder of the episode plays largely in silence, with occasional audience reaction to onscreen movement. The credit sequence with music rolls normally.

Over subsequent episodes, bodily putrefaction is portrayed with make-up effects appropriate to the budget and production date of the show. There is no narrative arc, no living characters appear, and the final episode ends with the characters reduced to organic slurry.

Recovery: SCP-XXXX was purchased by A██████ B█████ from a video store in ██████, ██. B█████ wrote a letter about it to the F██████ T█████, a popular periodical devoted to the paranormal, where an embedded agent alerted the Foundation.

The store's employees could not explain the presence of SCP-XXXX, and Foundation contacts at the Fox network were unable to account for its creation. However, some found archived emails relating to production meetings, including some sent by themselves, which they had no recollection of writing.

Selected Fox executives and cast members were interrogated under Pentathol-9. They recalled scattered details of scripting, financing, shooting, editing and wrap parties, but had no memory of these while conscious.

Banking traces revealed they had all been paid the contracted rate through normal channels, though at the time of production, most were working on other projects.

All subjects were administered Class-B amnestics.

Notes:

SCP-XXXX shows multiple continuity errors. Clothing and body positions shift between shots, and daylight changes are inconsistent.
Production equipment and crew are occasionally visible in frame, and have been identified as production staff employed at the time of shooting.
Season episode 20 (the 100th series episode) closes with a "Blooper Reel", showing the actors during production in full gore make-up, joking at each other's mistakes. One shows David Garrison forgetting his "lines" as the gasses built up in his character's abdomen exit through his mouth.
In later episodes showing advanced decomposition, mannequins are often identifiably used where actors with intact bodies could not portray the scene.

Addendum XXXX-01: "Sometimes the real anomaly isn't the thing itself but the process which generates it. This could be a by-product of something inhabiting the studios, or the whole entertainment complex. If so, I can't think how we might contain it." - Dr ███████

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: The current SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 are to be held in a standard medical containment cell at site 17. SCP-XXXX-2 is to be kept in an induced coma. SCP-XXXX-1 and its props are to be checked for changes once per week.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an effect whereby a theatrical event with an audience transforms into a performance of "The Rocky Horror Show" stage musical. Any such changed performance is categorised SCP-XXXX-1. It appears there can only be one SCP-XXXX-1 at any time.

All dialogue and songs are performed in American English, regardless of the languages of the performers or audience. The duration changes to allow a full performance, with actors playing multiple roles if necessary.

Audiences do not question the change and appear to enjoy the piece, joining in with the traditional audience participation, even if they were not previously aware of it. However, after the performance both audience and performers show confusion about what they saw and did.

SCP-XXXX-2 is Barnabas McLintock, owner and operator of "Uncle Barnie's Puppetorium", a hand puppet theater company for children's parties in Kane County, Chicago. At one performance SCP-XXXX manifested, but in the second act SCP-XXXX-2 suffered a heart attack.

Medical personnel were summoned and embedded agent V█████ recognised a possible anomaly. V█████ alerted the Foundation, who locked down the location, isolating SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2, before applying Class A amnestics.

It is currently believed that while SCP-XXXX-2 is unable to complete SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX will remain suspended, at least until SCP-XXXX-2 dies.

Addendum XXXX-01: Confirmed and Probable Instances.

01/03/1984: Noh-play at a theatrical festival in Kamakura, Japan.

13/08/1991: Production of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's "Jesus Christ: Superstar", at Saint Martin's Primary school, Gloucestershire, England.

21/01/1997: Reading of "My Travels Around Asia" at The Clover Inn, Anchorage, Alaska, by the monologue's author.

12/04/2001: "The Fantasy of Mistress Fang", at the Dungeon of Pain, Idaho.

20/11/2004: Full-length performance of "Einstein on the Beach" by Philip Glass and Robert Wilson, at the Opéra Berlioz in Montpellier, France.

11/09/2010: Rehearsal of Samuel Beckett's "Endgame", by the New Circle Players of Adelaide, Australia, with audience of two janitors. A player videoed the performance, but when the playback failed to accord with expectations, uploaded it to youtube.

A routine automated sweep of uploads and comments triggered an alert, and the channel was taken down. The participants were administered Class C amnestics and online activity of the nine commenters monitored for six weeks.

23/07/2012: Musical concert in Los Angeles by "Lady Gaga", with approximately 2500 spectators. Agent J█████████, posing as a music journalist, interviewed 12 attendees exiting the stadium. All claimed to have enjoyed the concert, though could not recall any specifics. Agent judged amnestics were not required.

Item #: SCP-2023

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2023 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell. It must be electronically tagged and monitored by at least three cameras, recording at all times.

For all testing, two armed guards must be present in the cell, plus a further two outside, and SCP-2023 chained to the wall using the materials provided.

Addendum 2023-01: "These measures may seem excessive for a Safe item, but SCP-2023 could literally walk out of the room in the middle of a test, and you simply not notice." - Dr J███████

Description: SCP-2023 is a human male in mid-fifties, of Mediterranean appearance, and the property of "blending in", often to the point of invisibility. SCP-2023 is not literally invisible, but appears as a person so unremarkable that they become "psychologically invisible", even when alone. This effect extends to photographs, video recordings and surveillance, but can be resisted with difficulty by willpower.

SCP-2023 was first observed in 2003, when a school experimented with webcasting lessons. In one cast, a viewer noticed an adult male sitting amongst the children. The teacher admitted dimly remembering an unfamilliar man in the class, but said she "knew he wasn't a problem". When pressed on how she knew this, she was unable to explain.

The police were summoned, and an embedded agent posing as an officer took over the investigation. Other staff and students remembered the man in various locations, including one riding in their car, but none had found him incongruous.

Mobile Task Force Gamma-3 located SCP-2023 1km away, in the home of Mr and Mrs S████, where it had been sleeping with them in their bed for a month. The couple admitted noting its presence each night, including one occasion when Mrs S████ became pregnant, but each assumed it was a friend of the other.

The MTF was able to apprehend SCP-2023 by collecting everyone in the vicinity, then releasing each individually judged not to be SCP-2023. Class C amnestics were administered to all involved.

Test Logs:

01/06/2004: D-10843 was placed in a standard cell with SCP-2023 for one hour. The two spoke briefly, then ignored each other for 58 minutes, before D-10843 was instructed to leave. She was able to describe the cell with reasonable accuracy, but was surprised to be reminded that it contained any other persons.

07/06/2004: D-11230, D-11231 and D-11232 were placed in a cell with SCP-2023, D-11232 having been given a loaded pistol, but not told the bullets were blank. After twenty minutes he was instructed to shoot SCP-2023, and after several attempts to locate it, was able to comply. All three D-Class later remembered the pistol, but D-11230 and D-11231 were uncertain whether it was fired, and D11232 claimed he fired it into the air because he was "bored".

22/06/2004: SCP-2023 was placed in a cell with a bag of dog treats. Six hungry dogs were introduced and started begging for food. Unprompted, SCP-2023 fed the dogs and played with them, ignoring instructions to cease. The next day the experiment was repeated but without the treats, and the dogs appeared to remember SCP-2023.

27/06/2004: SCP-2023 was recorded reading from a script containing a pastoral poem, equations describing string theory, a polemic against Jainism, and repeated commands to walk in a circle. The audio was played to twelve D-Class personnel.

In interview, all remembered being played the audio but none could describe its content. None reported feeling any compulsions or feelings of religious hostility. However, nine recognised some equations, and lines from the poem, claiming these were common knowledge.

Interview Log:

The interview took place between doctor J█████ W███ and SCP-2023, on 13/11/2003.

W████: Why were you in that school? What did you want from those children?

SCP-2023: I had no reason to be anywhere else, or with different people.

W████: Are there others like you?

SCP-2023: To distinguish the first from the second, you must find a difference. But what if the difference were one you habitually ignored? Or could never imagine? Then how would you count?

W████: What do you want?

SCP-2023: To be warm when cold, eat when hungry, sleep when tired. Do you want these things at this moment? No? Then perhaps you won't be sure you exist until you do.

W████: I mean what are your plans? What do you want for the future?

SCP-2023: Why should I need a plan? I am complete without one.

W████: We could cut off your food. Then you'd want something - to not starve and not die.

SCP-2023: Do you think I would say something different if I were starving? Would it prove something to kill me?

W████: We'd still do it.

SCP-2023: Perhaps, if you could make yourself care enough, about the man you struggle to remember even when you speak with him.

W████: I care enough right now.

SCP-2023: You care about doing your job, and getting answers that make sense to you. I am incidental.

W████: What is your name?

SCP-2023: Why should I have a name? Only important things have names.

W████: So who decides what's important?

SCP-2023: You do.

SCP-2023 refused to answer any further questions and the interview was ended.
