Addendum XXXX.1: Interview

The first and only recorded interview conducted immidiately after containment by Foundation researcher Dr. Mia Tang, who was overseeing Test MV22.3.

AO-XXXX: -shit, is this really happening?

Tang: I’m going to ask you some questions, do you want anything? Water?

AO-XXXX: Uh, no, thanks. I’m good, thank you.

Tang: Could you tell me what you were doing at the testing area?

AO-XXXX: I’m still in.. A haze about that? Am I really here?

Tang: Are you asking me if this a dream? Because it isn’t.

AO-XXXX: Am I in the-

Tang: I understand you have questions but so do I, if you could just answer them I could-

AO-XXXX: No wait, seriously. Hold on a second. Am I on Earth?

Tang: You think this isn’t Earth?

AO-XXXX pauses.

AO-XXXX: If you could just.. ask the questions you were going to and.. any additional ones after, I’m ready.

Tang: Right.. What were you doing in the testing area?

AO-XXXX: Wasn’t it.. more of a testing unit? Yeah, sorry. Um, I was at my house, I was on discord with some friends, I couldn’t really go outside.. then I..

AO-XXXX pauses and stares blanky at the wall.

Tang: Okay, could you tell me-

AO-XXXX: October 28th, 2021. Today is the same date, isn’t it?

Tang: Yes, it is. Could you-

AO-XXXX: Is this The SCP Foundation, it is, isn’t it?

Tang: Are you a member of any anomalous organizations?

AO-XXXX: No.

Tang: Are you affiliated with any anomalous organizations in any way?

AO-XXXX: No! I’m not, why-

Tang: How do you know about the Foundation?

AO-XXXX: You’re kidding, right? Why are you pretending to be the SCP Foundation?

Tang: Let’s recap. You appear, out of nowhere, in our highly secure testing site full of harmful and dangerous, probably valuable technology and you expect us not to think of you as an intruder here to steal it?

AO-XXXX: The last memory I have before being in your ”testing unit” is being at my house. Did you drug me?

Tang: You infiltrated Site-89.

AO-XXXX: I don’t know.. I don’t remember, sorry. Which one is Site-89 again?

Tang: If you’re done playing dumb..

AO-XXXX: You play a very convincing role but I have no idea why you would go to the effort of drugging and kidnapping somebody then pretending to ask them how they got there. Bravo, seriously.

The room is silent.

AO-XXXX: Am I really in Site-89?

Tang: Yes you are.

Researcher Tang pulls out three cognitohazardous images.

Tang: Just tell me what you see.

The images are shown to AO-XXXX.

AO-XXXX: Its a picture of a tree with a white background?

AO-XXXX: Three sheep in a field.

AO-XXXX: A stick figure walking across the street?

The room is silent. Researcher Tang looks at AO-XXXX in apparent confusion.

Tang: How are you still awake?

AO-XXXX: What?

Tang: Subject shows an immunity to three of the images.

Tang pauses.

Tang: Were you lying, about how you got here?

AO-XXXX: No, I was telling the truth, on my life.

Tang: Why did you think I was lying?

AO-XXXX: Because the SCP Foundation is made up. It’s literally fiction.

AO-XXXX pauses for a moment.

AO-XXXX: Do you know what narratives are?

Tang: A written story of events.

AO-XXXX: I mean, in your work. Do you know what narratives mean to you?

AO-XXXX pauses again, then cautiously asking.

AO-XXXX: Have you ever read the file on SCP-3812?

Suddenly AO-XXXX disappeared from the interview chair, remnants of the chair AO-XXXX was sitting on were found contorted and pieces missing.
