Agent Taken
rating: 0+x

[ A work in progress. Please bear with me - This is arguably my first document and I really do hope it gets approved. I am trying to get people to voice the transcripts, too, as in SCP-049's (and others') files, but that might take a bit longer. Of course, when I'm ready to throw this under the spotlight officially, I will remove this comment. Thank you.

Item #: SCP-ʤ "███'s Doll"

Object Class: Safe Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-ʤ is to be housed in a 10 x 10 x 10 containment cube, four video-cameras in its corners, with a glass observation window, similar in thickness to a steel beam, sporting a single key-card-locked door, at Site-06-3. SCP-ʤ should annually be administered three pills from a seemingly bottomless jar labelled "Humanities", referred to as SCP-ʤ-2. Any and all personnel opening the jar should be wearing rubber gloves to prevent direct physical contact with the pills.

SCP-ʤ is allowed daily trips around the Site as well-practiced behavior permits. Every morning during the hour of 7:00 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, SCP-ʤ should be given a mug filled with "Yuban" brand black coffee. Despite its apparent addiction to caffeine, it has no recorded need for sleep or other sustenance, making it relatively cheap to contain.

In the event of a breach (to be labeled "Incident ʤ-Zulu-1" and so-forth), MTF-Lambda-12 ("Pest Control") is to be dispatched to Site-06-3 and immediately begin tracing the location of SCP-ʤ. SCP-ʤ is to be heavily dosed with any and all tranquilizer material / ammunition on-hand during the operation.

Description: SCP-ʤ appears to be a human male standing at 1.8 meters, appearing no older than its late-thirties. Stitched into the space around its left eye is a triangular slate of metal identified by the subject as a form of "mithril", a material mostly known in fiction. SCP-ʤ is always dressed in what it calls uniform, being a crimson-colored cloak of indecipherable origin / craft and a solid-gray base.

In-depth examinations of the subjects' external features reveal that its visible eye, its right, is not only the color of silver but can be thinned to resemble that of a reptile or feline - both are possibilities for origin as of 11-██-19██. The underside of SCP-ʤ's arms, notably in the folds of its elbows, consist of translucent-red scales instead of skin. The species associated is currently unknown, fish, reptile or otherwise.

SCP-ʤ is almost inseparable from the ██████ longsword it carries. Its original forger / style is currently unknown, though SCP-ʤ claims "my father made it". The blade itself appears to be made for frequent combat, sporting several marks evidently revealing previous chips. How they were filled, SCP-ʤ refuses to answer. On December █, 19██, SCP-ʤ finally let go of its weapon as per standard confiscation protocols.

SCP-ʤ, during any and all interviews, answers to questions directed personally or in a probing manner by abruptly switching languages, known to speak fluently in English, Spanish, most east-Asian languages, and several from European countries, including French, Greek and of course Latin, with the exception of an unknown manner of speech utilizing terms similar to those in Old Norse.

The anomalous activities it normally pursues include the manifestation of objects from thin air - in an un-patterned manner - and nightly telepathic conversations with SCP-14██. It seems to be in control of its abilities, if only partially, meaning it has known it possessed the "powers" for years before. SCP-ʤ displays various uses of magics including telekinetic interactions and the practice of elemental control. It is normally unfazed when questioned after occasional amnestics are administered to wipe the events of a recent, failed cross-testing. The effects of the drugs only begin to make themselves useful after a full twenty-four hours have passed, long enough for SCP-ʤ to record the events in its journal. The notebook is to be confiscated The notebook is designated SCP-ʤ-3.

Cross-testing with SCP-ʤ should be kept minimal and should only be undertaken by staff with Level-04 or higher clearance and no less than two armed guards - SCP-ʤ is liable to bolt at the first chance it is given along with another subject, as it is furious to return to its home, across the globe as it may be. It expresses no concern for its personal safety and instead offers help when not in an enraged state, which always takes place during a New moon in November. The cause of the moon's effect is currently unknown.

When introduced to a human or otherwise humanoid subject, SCP-ʤ will attempt to converse, at first taking on its supposed native tongue - English, boasting a faint British accent - and adapting to however the subject responds. SCP-ʤ has even been recorded creating low-to-high-pitched growls and chitters. How it is capable of vocalizing these sounds is due to a certain █████ in its █████ ███.

Addendum ʤ.1: SCP-ʤ, as of █-8-20██, has been recorded in its cube chuckling to itself quietly for a few hours, no matter its situation. The laugh-cycle begins nightly at █:23 p.m. PST sharp and lasting until █:45 p.m. PST. At the end of the allotted time frame, SCP-ʤ speaks in a mocking tone, the exact same words each time: "Oh, ho. Arie would like you."

The identity of "Arie" or the entity SCP-ʤ is speaking to is under investigation. Several investigative teams have been dispatched to the location of the first meeting with SCP-ʤ, also the point-of-contact with several other subjects dubbed SCP-ʤ-4-13. Most of the creatures in its home are pets like small reptiles and arachnids, though two human females have been recorded in the residence. They did not give their names, and probes into legal city documents do not prove successful in uncovering birth certificates or proof of ownership of the house.

They are, however, allowed to keep the building until SCP-ʤ is released or when it is classified as Explained.

The first cross-testing with SCP-ʤ was placed, curiously, with SCP-166.

Interviews with SCP-ʤ are given under the oversight of Doctor Elijah Itkin and undertaken by LV.-03 Researcher David W. Loyd.

+ Interview ʤ-B - LEVEL 03 CLEARANCE REQUIRED.

After the interview, SCP-ʤ has shown increasingly aggressive behaviors, keeping itself in check enough to let out no more than foul language and gestures. The cause of this agitation is under investigation.

The next test took place after SCP-ʤ calmed down significantly, exactly seven days after the interview.

+ Transcript of SCP-ʤ / SCP-166 Cross-testing Case Two - LEVEL 03 CLEARANCE REQUIRED.

SCP-ʤ, after being removed from the containment chamber, began showing increased concern for the well-being of SCP-166. SCP-ʤ could be exhibiting some kind of paternal instinct towards SCP-166, as it does not seem to be any older than it looks.

SCP-ʤ has begun to implement a change in its behavioral cycle. It has become slowly worse over the seven days between its next interview. On every recorded interaction between it and another subject, however, it keeps these abnormalities to itself.

+ Interview ʤ-C - LEVEL 03 CLEARANCE REQUIRED.

Doctor David Loyd, shortly after the interview, reported frequent, weak telepathic messages coming from an unknown source. The doctor claimed the voice of the speaker sounded similar, if not the same as SCP-ʤ. Research is ongoing as to the real sender.

Below are a few of the messages he received, being within distance of a pen and paper at the time.

+ Messages to Doctor David Loyd - LEVEL 03 CLEARANCE REQUIRED.

A final test was conducted after these messages were reported to the Site Director. A transcript is provided below. The test (along with the previous tests) was conducted in SCP-166's containment chamber.

In this test, Doctor Itkin participated. He spoke through a wired radio connected to SCP-ʤ's audio recorder. What little he said was scrubbed of most of its static effect.

Questioning is under way to have SCP-ʤ given an application to MTF-Alpha-9.

+ Transcript of SCP-ʤ / SCP-166 Cross-testing Case Three - LEVEL-03 CLEARANCE REQUIRED.

Further cross-testing or interviews featuring SCP-ʤ are delayed until any information can be uncovered regarding the identity of:
1. The females residing in SCP-ʤ's home.
2. The hell-born SCP-ʤ refers to as "██████" (newly labeled SCP-ʤ-14).
3. SCP-ʤ's original name / heritage.

Access to this file is strictly forbidden to personnel with Level-02 Clearance or lower.
