Interviewer: Dr. Harold Trask
Foreword: At conclusion of the XXXX-Event, D - 2790, one of the five D personnel that survived the incident, was detained and interrogated.
<Begin Log>
D–2790 is silent, still visibly shocked by the event.
Dr. Trask: D–2790 please calm down. The SCP has returned to its inactive state. You’re safe now.
D-2790: ………
Dr. Trask: D-2790 I need you to get a hold of yourself and answer the following questions. The faster you answer them, the faster this session will end. Do you understand?
D-2790:(Nods in agreement.)
Dr. Trask:Good. Now, D-2790, can you please tell me what happened?
D-2790: O-okay so I was in my cell with two other Ds (pauses), Then out of nowhere this dark thing suddenly passed through walls and ……
Dr. Trask: And what?
D-2790: Through me. I saw it pass through me. I felt it yet it didn’t even hurt nor even leave a damage to the walls. That was really freaky. I don’t know what it was but it left as quickly as it appeared. After that everything became unusually silent and that’s where everything started to feel very wrong.
Dr. Trask: How so?
D-2790: The place is always noisy, you know with these Ds? There's always an argument over there, cussing over there but then suddenly, everything went silent. As if I suddenly became deaf. Then the silence was replaced with this weird sounds of wet things dropping on the floor. When I turned towards my cellmates they were, they wer- (subject holds in a gag).
Dr. Trask: They were what?
D-2790: They were dead. Sam’s intestines were all over the ground and so was the other half of his body! God! It was so dis-eurg, eurghh (subject vomits).
Dr. Trask: Uggh. Tsk. (Leans to the security personnel in his left) Call in the janitor.
D-2790: I’m sorry.
Dr. Trask: It is understandable. Please continue and please, try your best to hold it in.
D-2790: Okay. So that what happened to Sam, but what happened to Hector was more disturbing rather than disgusting.
Dr. Trask: Why?
D-2790: His body was obviously cut in half and yet, it remained in his clothes.
Dr. Trask: And?
D-2790: And? His body was literally hanging inside his overalls! He looked like this contortionist-gone-wrong crap! His body was cut in half and yet his clothes was fine! There was not even a single tear! It’s like he was cut from within!
Dr. Trask: Calm down D–2790.
D-2790: (Subject breathes in and sighs.)
Dr. Trask: Well then, is that all?
D-2790: Yes.
Dr. Trask: Nothing unusual occurred afterwards?
D-2790: Nothing.
Dr. Trask: Then we are done here.
D-2790: Wait. What was the skip that caused this?
Dr. Trask: You are not authorized to know. That is all D-2790.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: D-2790, along with the other surviving D-personnel were relocated in their temporary cell room while the clean-up on the D-personnel Quarters is still ongoing.
Four hours after the initial interview was concluded, D-2790 was recalled for an another interview after a particular detail of his incarceration was noticed to have some discrepancy.
Interviewed: D–2790
Interviewer: Dr. Harold Trask
Foreword: D-2790 was recalled for an another interview to question him regarding his incarceration.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Trask: Hello again, D – 2790
D-2790: Why did you call me back? Did I do something wrong? Is it about the vomit? Look I’m very sorry okay, I didn’t mean to vomit on your floor. If you want to I can cle-
Dr. Trask: Calm down, it’s not about the vomit. It’s about you.
D-2790:About me? What do you mean?
Dr. Trask:You seem unusual for a D-personnel.
D-2790: Unusual?
Dr. Trask: Yes, unusual. Records have shown that since your transfer here three weeks ago, you have never broke a rule or even pick a fight with a fellow D-personnel.
D-2790: So wh-
Dr. Trask: And what’s more is that you vomited. You vomited even though you were incarcerated for having brutally murdered a woman.
D-2790: …….
Dr. Trask: Now vomiting at the site of entrails is natural, but for a man who stabbed a woman 32 times and sliced her lips off to vomit at the sight of entrails, now that’s unusual.
D-2790: S-s-s-so so what? What if I just particularly hate intestines? Th-that can happen.
Dr. Trask: You’re stuttering and sweating.
D-2790: ……
Dr. Trask: You’re hiding something.
D-2790: …..
Dr. Trask: What is it D-2790?
D-2790: ….
Dr. Trask: Not answering huh. Maybe if I ask ██████ or ████ maybe they’ll know. (Both are the sole surviving family of D-2790)
D-2790: (Subject glares at Dr. Trask.)
Dr. Trask: Yes, I know where there and who they are so you better tell me what you’re hiding.
D-2790: Don’t you dare touch them! (Subject attempts to attacks Dr. Trask but was punched in the gut by one of the security personnel. Subject curls and writhes at the pain)
Dr. Trask: That could've have been avoided if you only answered my question.
D-2790: (Still on the floor) Damn you!
Dr. Trask: Now now, (signals the security personnel to pick D-2790 and return him to his chair) there’s no need for that. Just answer the question and they will be fine.
D-2790: …..
Dr. Trask: Still not cooperating?
D-2790: Fine, fine just promise me you won’t hurt them.
Dr. Trask: Your actions will decide that. Now what are you hiding?
D-2790: (Breathes in, breathes out) I did not kill her.
Dr. Trask: Interesting. Go on.
D-2790: I didn’t even know her. I was just a scapegoat. The one who killed her was ██████. Being that he was the son of a powerful druglord in our town, they needed someone to be blamed, to take his place in the prison for him.
Dr. Trask: And you were chosen.
D-2790: I volunteered.
Dr. Trask: Why would you that?
D-2790: Life has always been hard on us. My mother died when were very young and my father got into an accident that permanently made him a cripple. As the eldest I naturally became the provider. I’ve heard about how they were offering a huge sum of money two whoever willingly admits the murder.
I loved my father who was always mad at himself for making his children's lives horrible, and I couldn’t bear to see him that way. My sister was kind, responsible, and old enough to fend for herself and father, and seeing that I never had a chance to have a family of my own, choosing their freedom from poverty over mine was an easy choice. So I volunteered to become their scapegoat.
Dr. Trask: Go on.
D-2790: I volunteered to be their scapegoat under one condition, that they don't tell my family I admitted the murder. After they agreed, I gave the money I received to my sister. I just her them that I happened to find a high paying job abroad and the money was an advanced pay. I got convicted and got transferred here.
Dr. Trask: Is that it?
D-2790: Yes.
Dr. Trask: Is that everything?
D-2790: Yes.
Dr. Trask: Was everything you said true?
D-2790: Yes. But please just keep this between us. If they found out that the authorities knew I was innocent, they would kill them so please, I beg of you, don’t tell anyone else.
Dr. Trask: Sure.
D-2790: Thank you. Is that all? I’m scheduled to test SCP-████ today.
Dr. Trask: Why are so eager to test SCP-XXXX? Normally D-personnel either hates doing it or is scared of doing it
D-2790: I get scared too but more often than not, I just get amazed and mildly weirded out by those things.
Dr. Trask: Amazed? Ah I forgot. As a reward for your good behavior you’ve always been assigned to the safe ones.
D-2790: I know right? Also they say that if you follow their directions you'll be fine, so I don't really worry that much. Also I’ve heard that if you always obediently follow orders they will eventually release us early and clear us of any previous charges. That’s why I really need to leave because I don’t want to mess up my chance of receiving this “special pardon”.
Dr. Trask: I see. Well that is all. You may go.
D-2790: Okay then. Thank you.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Investigations revealed that everything that D-personnel said was true. Interview with the other D-personnel revealed that they had a similar situation, that is they were all either wrongfully accused, or framed. The relationship between this and their survival from an XXXX Event remains inconclusive.

Dr. Trask, as a high ranking researcher, you should know by now why we cannot accept any of your requests. D–2790’s case, along with other D-personnel, is quite common and is highly unsurprising. The justice system is not as perfect as what everybody thinks. We only accept and use D personnel, we don’t care for or save them and the only time we do is if it is necessary. Although we are capable of helping those D’s, we cannot use our precious resources and time in delving into situations that is of no concern or benefit to us.
We contain anomalies and maintain normalcy, we do not uphold nor maintain justice. We make difficult but necessary decisions. Empathy and justice has no place in our world, the absence of these two is what made our work successful and meaningful. We are men of science and mathematics, governed only by logic and facts. The faster you understand that, the easier your job becomes, and the more it benefits the Foundation.
Although we strive to distance ourselves from emotion, all of us are still human and therefore is affected by morale. For that reason, details regarding the reason why those D-personnel survived will remain unknown to all personnel excluding selected level 4 personnel. Any attempt to leak this information will be seen as insubordination and will be met with extreme consequences.
We are not heroes Harry, we never have been. But by choosing and being the lesser evil, we have saved this world countless times, and that is the only thing that matters.
