Preliminary title: The Omniscient Boondog Saint

Brief description: a not very sympathic vigilante, given the power of omniscience by an AI he was supposed to retrieve for Marshall, Carter and Dark.

In return for powering up the AI (poosibly extra-terestrial/extra-dimensional) and linking it up to its transport pod, he was given the power of omniscience in a specific field.
As he is a veteran that feels great bitterness about government, society and the way his friends were treated, he was granted omniscince in regard to what he consider unpunished crimes , or rather norm violations, and everything related to them.

-The big problem is, an Alien AI has absolutely no idea about human concepts of norm violations (see Robert Sheckley's story "The Monsters") and is not aware that the person granted this power is slipping into psychosis, especially in his choice of targets for vigilantism.

So while he mostly acts like a Rorschach on steroids, he is extremely cruel, even to people who have caused no lasting harm, and to people who were minors when they caused harm.
As his omniscience extends to passwords to systems that have his service records and fingerprints, he is now very hard to track.

It should be no surprise that the government in pushing the Foundation to stop him as a lot of very powerful or rich people have ended up smeared across the ceiling or turned into grotesque meat sculptures.

Before expanding the concept into a story, I want to know if you think this is too derivative. And any ideas of how to inject human interest is welcome.
BTW the AI was not "evil" in any sense, it just gave a native what it asked for, in return for a favor. The bad guys in this story would ultimately be Marshall Carter and Dark for treating unclaimed objects of Power as a treasure trove.

Q: …so, will you repeat to me the background for choosing the approach your team used?

A: (sighs) We went back to the place Marshall, Carter and Dark had been excavating. As reported, the source rocks had a glass-like texture, as if they had once been subjected to intense heat.

There was an irregular cavity where the item and the presumed transport pod had been. We found a destroyed jackhammer and a lot of smaller stone fragments.

At the entrance to the cavity we found bloodstains from when the assh- the SCP- decided to cancel his contract with his employers. Our primary objective at that place was to gather information explaining how an AI with potential omniscience could get caught and trapped aeons ago. While any radioisotopes would have decayed long ago, the heating was certainly consistent with thermonuclear weapons or, less likely, laser weapons.

In a battle between two omniscient AIs they would have tried to saturate the computing capacity of the adversary with so many possible threats that one eventually got through. After all the time very little was left so we could neither confirm or refute that hypothesis.

We confirmed a shortage of uranium in the granite, consistent with the AI slowly leaching out the element to power a self- repair process. We documented as much as we could, before the locals got curious.
