Subject 1: D-18723, a 32 year old female from Bolivia, 144cm, 62kg, convicted of narcotics trafficking
Subject 2: D-82773, a 19 year old female from Sri Lanka, 180cm, 80kg, convicted of multiple armed robberies
Amalgamation Event: After consuming SCP-5046-1, D-18723 and D-82773 ignore one another for approximately three minutes after which they begin to exchange insults in their respective languages. After physical escalation, the dissolution stage begins as D-82773 repeatedly slams D-18723’s head into the wall of the testing chamber.
Result: The resulting instance SCP-5046-3.04 is a 224cm, 97kg woman with an apparent age of approximately 25 years. SCP-5046-3.04 speaks Spanish, Portuguese, English, Hindi, and Bengali. A standard battery of tests has shown SCP-5046-3.04’s capacity to learn firearm assembly and repair with almost perfect recall. It should be noted that D-18723 had experience with automotive repair but had never held a firearm, and D-82773 had no mechanical acumen of any kind but was an experienced marksman.
Interview: SCP-5046-3.04 was interviewed six days after its amalgamation event, once its adjustment period had been completed.
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Dr. Johana Gallagher
Gallagher: Good morning, SCP-5046-3.04. I have some questions I’d like to ask about your experience.
SCP-5046-3.04: Doctor. What would you like to know?
Gallagher: We’ve found the adjustment period after ingestion of SCP-5046-1 to be highly variable, both in nature and in duration. What is the first thing you can remember, after you assumed your current form?
SCP-5046-3.04: The first feeling I can remember? I believe the term is, ah, claustrophobia. Back when we were separate, neither of us were aware of our bodies as confining, but afterwards… Can you imagine being wrapped in a sheet of plastic so tight you cannot breathe, but knowing that leaving it would mean your certain death? The panic was inescapable.
Gallagher: I see. When did this end?
SCP-5046-3.04: It hasn’t entirely. Emotions, physical sensations, they are overwhelming and impossible to ignore. But I’ve gradually realized what I am. So tall, so strong. Doctor, do you ever look at yourself in the mirror in wonder at your own glory?
Gallagher: I’m sorry, but my self-perception is hardly relevant.
SCP-5046-3.04: You should try.
Subject 1: R4-22, a 25 year old male from France, 201cm, 97kg, two-year operative of Foundation Mobile Task Force Rho-4 specializing in extraction planning and coordination
Subject 2: R4-02, a 31 year old male from Hungary, 181cm, 88kg, five-year operative of Foundation Mobile Task Force Rho-4 specializing in emergency medicine
Amalgamation Event: After consuming SCP-5046-1, R4-22 and R4-02 converse normally for a period of eight minutes. R4-02 removes the outer layers of his clothing and instructs R4-22 to do the same. R4-02 and R4-22 perform MTF-standard strength and flexibility exercises for six minutes before beginning sexual foreplay and the dissolution stage of the amalgamation event.
Result: The resulting instance SCP-5046-3.12 is a 262cm, 130kg man with an apparent age of approximately 27 years. When it can be persuaded to perform standardized tests, SCP-5046-3.12 shows high proficiency in almost every category. SCP-5046-3.12 appears to enjoy physical-based testing and exercise, but has a history of becoming violently non-compliant when being moved from the outdoor activity grounds to its containment chamber.
Interview: SCP-5046-3.12 was interviewed eighty days after its amalgamation event. It is unknown whether its adjustment period had been completed. Note: For SCP-5046-3.12’s safety and the safety of Dr. Gallagher, SCP-5046-3.12 was interviewed while bound by padded restraints. The sound of SCP-5046-3.12 gritting its teeth and pulling against these restraints can be heard throughout much of the interview.
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Dr. Johana Gallagher
Gallagher: Good afternoon, SCP-5046-3.12. I hope you haven’t been made too uncomfortable by the interview precautions we’ve taken. I’d like to ask what challenges you’re facing now, after having some time to become accustomed to your new state.
SCP-5046-3.12: [No response]
Gallagher: If there’s anything we can do to help you in this transition, we have an abundance of resources at hand. Are you in pain? Is there any way you can describe what you’re experiencing?
SCP-5046-3.12: [No response]
Gallagher: I’m going to ask you some yes or no questions. Please tap the interview table once to indicate yes, and twice to indicate no. Are you experiencing some kind of quarrel between… The parts of your consciousness which were originally R4-02 and R4-22?
SCP-5046-3.12: [No response]
Gallagher: Are you feeling overwhelmed by physical or emotional sensations you can’t control?
SCP-5046-3.12: [No response]
Gallagher: Are you feeling as if you can’t escape from-
SCP-5046-3.12: [Slams one bound hand against the interview table]
Gallagher: Ok. For clarity’s sake, your perception is that your difficulty is not a direct result of your current state, but is a result of Foundation containment of-
SCP-5046-3.12: [Slams again on the interview table] Con— Con—
Gallagher: It’s a necessary precaution. We can’t be sure how you will react to stimulus outside of a controlled environment.
SCP-5046-3.12: Still! Still contained!
Gallagher: I’ll see if there’s anything I can do to, ah, relax the bounds of your containment. The Foundation is aware of your records of service and the voluntary nature of your testing with SCP-5046. Is there anything else you’d like to say? Anything I could provide?
SCP-5046-3.12: [No response]
Gallagher: Thank you.
Subject 1: D-92883, a 58 year old male from the United States, 171cm, 90kg, convicted of coordinating human trafficking. Note: Prior to his arrest, D-92883 was self-employed as a motivational speaker.
Subject 2: SCP-████. SCP-████ was chosen due to its high cost of containment and relatively low risk anomalous effects, which include [REDACTED].
Amalgamation Event: After consuming SCP-5046-1, SCP-████ immediately [REDACTED], which began the dissolution stage. Subsequently, SCP-████ [REDACTED] resulting in eventual completion of the reassembly stage.
Result: The resulting instance SCP-5046-3.47 is a 161cm, 82kg man with similarly unusual physical [REDACTED]. Compared to other SCP-5046-3 instances, SCP-5046-3.47 is unusually docile.
Interview: SCP-5046-3.47 was interviewed fifty one days after its amalgamation event, once its adjustment period had been completed.
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Dr. Johana Gallagher
Gallagher: Good morning, SCP-5046-3.47. I have some questions I’d like to ask about your experience. Please answer them to the best of your ability.
SCP-5046-3.47: [No response]
Gallagher: Are you able to understand me?
SCP-5046-3.47: There are two paths, people, and one of them is in understanding.
Gallagher: Thank you. Can you describe your experience with SCP-5046?
SCP-5046-3.47: You know, sometimes it feels like all your doors are closed in life. Like the stairs to the basement don’t go anywhere. But I know, and you know, that things aren’t going to start moving until you start moving. And that’s the important part, to get up and do something every day. Step up. Just step in. One step at a time you get closer to the door, and you know that every time a door closes, a door won't close.
Gallagher: I… See. Your current amalgamated form includes SCP-████. Do you feel like this amalgamation is stable?
SCP-5046-3.47: Some people, they sleep through life. They wake up, go to work, come home, day after day. But life can be so much more. A life of true self awareness means never sleeping, it means seeing everything inside of you. I mean, look at me! Me, I never sleep. I never sleep.
Gallagher: Before the amalgamation event, SCP-████ possessed the anomalous ability to [REDACTED]. Are you aware of any ability to [REDACTED]?
SCP-5046-3.47: Listen people, we don’t get to decide who our parents are, or where we come from. We don’t get to decide what our bodies are made of. But let me tell you this, all of you: we do get to decide how hard to grasp on life! We get to decide whether to let that spirit of negativity, of self doubt, come bubbling up from the basement stairs or whether to give ourselves a little shake, a little wake up call, and remember what it is to be human! To be human is to struggle, that’s the human condition, my friends! And we can’t ever, ever stop, even if we want to, because it’s inside us now.
Gallagher: Thank you, that will be all.
Since the completion of its amalgamation event, SCP-5046-3.47 has shown none of the anomalous properties of SCP-████, and has made no attempts to escape containment.
