Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 is to be contained within a 16x16, self-supporting room. The room is to be fitted with closed ecological life-support systems (Henceforth referred to as CELSS), and it to be monitored at all times. Access to the containment cell is to only be accessible via a Quarantine Unit, and any implements provided to SCP-XXXX-1 are to be incinerated within the unit. SCP-XXXX-1 is by no means allowed to leave this containment area, and any staff interacting with the subject are to only do so within a Hazardous Materials suit, and are to remain in the Quarantine unit for six hours following interaction.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a form of Bacterium found natively across several regions in Eastern █████ (See Addendum-01). SCP-XXXX is a highly infectious pathogen, capable of spreading via numerous routes of transmission, but despite this it bears no negative traits. Individuals carrying SCP-XXXX will be unaware of such, and alone SCP-XXXX causes no harm to any host - Current observations suggest SCP-XXXX is incapable of infecting a human host. The pathogen features anomalous traits, as despite remaining a unicellular organism it is capable of mimicking surrounding cells. The only way SCP-XXXX can be identified natively is when isolated from any other organism other than itself.
SCP-XXXX was first identified by embedded Foundation Agent's operating within a Hospital in ██████████, ██████, when reports of an unknown disease outbreak were identified. These operatives were later infected and expired, but were able to report their findings. Later operatives, who were inserted with Hazmat gear, investigated the symptoms of the disease, characterised by muscular spasms across the entire body of an infected individual. Infected individuals have described the feeling as involuntary, and have stated it feels as if their muscles are being pulled, not moved. Infected individuals remain conscious until expiration, and are unable to eat, sleep or rest until such. Muscular spasms continue to affect the subject until their death, the cause of death varying from exhaustion, dehydration due to excess sweating, heart attacks and strokes. The rapid, jerky movements of the infected are similar in form to violent dance movements, and local news identified it as '███████ ██ ██ █████', translated as 'Dancing Sickness'.
| Hours after infection |
Symptoms |
| One Hour |
Some Infected subject may pick up small, movement based tics, such as the tapping of feet or fingers. Others have been seen to remain stable at this stage. |
| Two Hours |
At this points, Almost every infected individuals will have picked up tics. The specificity of the tics will shift, now including involuntary muscular twitches across the body. |
| Four Hours |
Broadly, most infected will feature more heavy handed tics, visibly notable by outside observers. Some will 'lose control' of their bodies, and begin pacing without being unable to stop, or in the reverse will not be able to move. A small number have been recorded to remain more subtle in their symptoms, and a rare few will show themselves as being asymptomatic. |
| Six Hours |
All infected will begin to lose control of their muscular functions as a whole. Spams increase in severity, resembling epileptic fits in some individuals. The onset of symptoms will ver rapidly hit asymptomatic infected, and will often appear most severe in those who had featured no symptoms priorly. Some subjects remain in control enough to speak. |
| Eight Hours |
All infected will begin exerting muscular movement rapidly, with their jerky and sudden movements done at full strength. Muscular controls across the entire body will be lost. At this point, infected will continue to move until they physically cannot anymore, with muscular tearing and bone fractures common. Death is guaranteed at this point, ranging from minutes after symptoms hit their peak to days following such. |
SCP-XXXX-1 is a Caucasian male with blue eyes and auburn hair, with little to no discernible, outstanding features. SCP-XXXX-1 was obtained following a search of ██████████, having been identified as a focal point for infection due to those it interacted with falling ill shortly after. Testing of the subject's DNA has revealed that SCP-XXXX-1 is a carrier of a gene not present in the general population. Current theories place this gene as being recessive, however, it is possible that such was a voluntary inclusion for unknown purposes. The subjects' recessive gene does not cause any outward defects. It is believed that
When SCP-XXXX-1 comes into contact with SCP-XXXX, a rapid change in the bacterium will occur. SCP-XXXX will become highly contagious, solely targetting humans but being capable of being transported by non-human vectors. Upon infecting a target SCP-XXXX will cause the reported symptoms, seemingly by hijacking cells and rewriting their DNA. DNA analysis of deceased infected has revealed core changes in the coding of the DNA within muscle cells, with DNA bases being inserted or otherwise replacing existing nucleobases. These inserted bases are not not otherwise naturally found in other life forms.
SCP-XXXX-1's family history suggests that an ancestor of the subject, '████ ███████', was a resident of the same region as SCP-XXXX-1 during an outbreak of similar symptoms in the early 16th century. It is reported, however, that this subject perished during the outbreak. Research is ongoing as to why SCP-XXXX-1 has yet to do so, though most theories point towards the recessive gene as probable cause.
Interviewer: Dr. Julian Bryant
Subject: SCP-XXXX-1
Foreword: SCP-XXXX-1 was to be interviewed to identify their knowledge of SCP-XXXX, and their connection to the Bacterium. Dr. Bryant was encouraged to utilise Humane Interrogation factors to encourage XXXX-1 to reveal any information, and was authorised to use the subjects first name rather than the containment title, to encourage familiarity.
Dr. Bryant: Hello. My name is Dr. Bryant. For the record, I’d like to ask you to identify yourself, please.
SCP-XXXX-1: Uh… My name is █████ █████. What… What am I doing here? No ones told me anything since… Well, since I got taken.
Dr. Bryant: █████, is it safe to assume you are aware of the disease outbreak in your region?
SCP-XXXX-1: I… Yeah, I am, some… some of my neighbors got it, and… Why?
Dr. Bryant: The organisation I represent has reason to believe you are in some way involved with the outbreak.
SCP-XXXX-1: What? That’s… That’s crazy! Why the hell would I be-
Dr. Bryant: That is in no way an accusation, █████. However, it is important we ensure you are not a risk to anybody. I’d like to ask you some questions, if that’s okay.
SCP-XXXX-1: I… Yeah, that’s okay.
Dr. Bryant: Great. First of all, I’d like to know how long you’ve stayed in the region.
SCP-XXXX-1: Around… I think it's been a year now. I've alway's lived in ██████, but work brought me here around a year ago.
Dr. Bryant: I see. What do you do, then?
SCP-XXXX-1: I… I used to work freelance. Business consultant. Big or small, if they pay. Some local company wanted advice on expanding, so they hired me. As time went on they offered a paycheck I couldn't say no to if I hung around, so I moved and took the job.
Dr. Bryant: I see. Am I correct in saying you have ties to the region?
SCP-XXXX-1: I… Yeah, you would be. My grandparents lived here. I think most of my family had, but my mom got sick of it. Moved to the city, met dad, had me. Lucky them, I guess.
Dr. Bryant: Do you recall when the first people started getting sick?
SCP-XXXX-1: Not really. It all happened pretty fast, though. I think… First person was probably three months ago? Something like that. I didn't really know them, so I didn't take notice. I think… I think from there it spread on. Just like that.
Dr. Bryant: Indeed. I have it on record that a lot of people you know were infected. Workmates, neighbours, friends. Does it not strike you as odd that you yourself avoided infection?
SCP-XXXX-1: I… I haven't really thought about it. I just… Counted myself as lucky I guess?
SCP-XXXX-1: … Why?
Dr. Bryant: There is evidence to support that you have some sort of immunity to the disease. Given the nature of this outbreak, it has been paramount that we ensured that that was not a sign you were involved in any way.
SCP-XXXX-1: So… So what, you don't think it's just a disease.
Dr. Bryant: I'm not able to disclose that to you, █████.
Dr. Bryant: If you were willing, it would be of great importance
SCP-XXXX-1: I… Yeah. if it helps, I'll do it.
Dr. Bryant: Duly noted. That concludes this interview, then. Thank you for your time, █████.
Closing Notes
During this interview, SCP-XXXX-1 remained relatively calm and coordinated throughout. While clearly nervous at being 'interrogated', as it were, it was cooperative and has since allowed blood and DNA samples to be extracted from its person, as well as consenting to future tests. It is my current opinion that XXXX-1 is quite potentially an unfortunate bystander to the outbreak. Naturally, I recommend further tests and interviews to ensure its story is straight and to identify the natural source of this immunity of its.
ADDENDUM-01
On ██/██/17, Foundation Agents operating in the Quarantine Zone identified a pair of texts in local records dating from the period of the initial outbreak in the 16th century. The texts were all identified as being written in Adytite script, and seals suggest they are related to forebearers of GOI-0385[[footnote] Active primarily throughout Europe, the Esoteric Order of the White Worm (Fehér Féreg Ezoterikus Rend) is a Sarkic cult disguised as an occult themed fraternal organization. Similar to other "secret societies", the existence of the cult is an open secret while its true nature is unknown to the general population. [/footnote]], or with similar groups. The second appears to have never been sent. The texts were confiscated and translated, and have been presented below.
To my honorable friend,
I hope this greets you in good tidings, for I cannot say the same here. Our conflicts with the League of Cambrai has left his eminence, Maximilian I, in what may only be called dire straits. I act in his name, for he wishes retribution upon those of Cambrai and I, as his eminences most trusted Court Magician, am seen as his simplest route to reach such. Thusly I reach to you friend, with instructions on how one may endeavor to design and unleash a plague of virulent ability on the people of Cambrai's league, retribution that may only be seen as having come from the Lord himself. We know better which Lord it has come from, of course, but it shall strike fear deep into the League and allow our influence to spread greater and further.
Your friend always.
Part of this letter, below the message itself, have been ripped away. It is believed this was the instructions of the discussed plague.
To my friend, in the Court of his Eminence,
Ill tidings indeed! One's regrets are cast to His Eminence's losses. I shall try to do as you have wished, my friend, though by no means to I claim to be as gifted as you in manners of mysticism - I shall endeavor to gift this vengeance of his Eminence on those that bested him. A thousand curses to them all!
Yours,
Your honorable friend
A third later, dated ██/██/16, was found in the house of a deceased infected, clutched in his hands - Burns were found across his right hand and wrist. The letter, itself partially burned, appeared to have been snatched out of the fire by its holder during a state of infection. While it's content suggests it belongs to an offshoot of this earlier group, or at the least of the later developed GOI, there is no evidence clearly suggesting a source, author, or any other route to finding those behind it. A to the aim of identifying such venues is ongoing.
- Failure will not be seen with joyous hearts. You are to finish what was begun so long ago, with the enlightened eyes of our faith. Bring retribution to our enemies, so that our Lord may smile upon us and gift us-
- death will be a blessing -
- Godhood will be ours.
We watch, and wait, for you to return with the fruits of your work, so we may unleash a gift onto a world on non-believers. May the devourer guide your hands, so that you may reap the weak and sew the seeds of new life into these lands.
It is believed that this message involved instructions to a member of this Sarkic group, revolving around the seizing of SCP-XXXX, which is now assumed to be the remaining bodies of the 'plague of virulent ability' mentioned in prior texts. It is presumed that the one who received the text was successful in forming modern examples of SCP-XXXX, before they were triggered by SCP-XXXX-1. With this new information in mind, SCP-XXXX-was interviewed for his connections, if any, to this GOI. The contents of this interview may be found below.
Interviewer: Dr. Thomas Hudson
Subject: SCP-XXXX-1
Foreword: Dr. Hudson was informed of the potential risk of this plague if utilised as a bioweapon by this GOI. Dr. Hudson was, in turn, given the authorisation to use heightened means to identify SCP-XXXX-1's involvement, if any.
Dr. Hudson: My name is Dr. Hudson. I am going to speak, you are going to answer. Any deviance, any discordance to that, the slightest hint of disobedience, and I guarantee you will regret it. Understood?
SCP-XXXX-1: Uh… Yes?
Dr. Hudson: Good. So, tell me, what do you know of the term Sarkic?
SCP-XXXX-1: Of… Sarkic? I don't… No, I've never heard of it.
Dr. Hudson: So you're saying to me you've never heard the term, not once.
SCP-XXXX-1: Yes, I am. Not once, Sir.
**Dr. Hudson:* So tell me, have you ever met one individual by the name of ███ ███████?
SCP-XXXX-1 I… ███? Yeah, I have. He showed up around the same time as me, so I hung around him a bit. Wait, why?
Dr. Hudson: Quite simply because Mr. ███████ was well aware of and closely connected to the term Sarkic. Now he's dead, you're alive, and only one of you is immune. Call me a conspiracist if you'd like, but that reeks off to me.
SCP-XXXX-1: … Are you telling me that ███ was… What, some kind of terrorist?
Dr. Hudson: I'm only stating such because I believe that you already knew that.
SCP-XXXX-1 proceeds to sink their head into their hands.
Dr. Hudson: Now, I'm going to ask again; Have you ever heard of the term Sarkic?
SCP-XXXX-1: I haven't done anything.
Dr. Hudson: That wasn't the question.
SCP-XXXX-1: I haven't… I haven't done anything. I want a lawyer. I… I haven't done anythin!
SCP-XXXX-1 is seen to become quickly agitated and stops answering questions amicably. The interview is concluded.
Closing Notes
SCP-XXXX-1 has proven stubborn, and it is difficult to identify if this comes from fear of retribution, or fear of simply being punished. It is my opinion that SCP-XXXX-1 should continue to be interviewed until such a point as the truth is revealed, as I remain unconvinced of their sincerity at this point in time.
NOTE: Following this interview, Dr. Hudson pushed administrative staff to allow the use of enhanced interrogation tactics to gain possible information from the subject. The request was approved on ██/██/17.
ADDENDUM-02
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX-1, containment procedures rely on reactionary measures. Area's known to host SCP-XXXX are to be monitored for any sign of outbreak. Foundation personnel are to engage quarantine measures as soon as symptomatic individuals are identified, and these are not to be lifted until the infection burns itself out. All corpses are to be burned. Surviving civilians are to be delivered amnestics and relocated.
SCP-XXXX-2 is to be contained within a 16x16, self-supporting room. The room is to be fitted with closed ecological life-support systems and should be monitored at all times. Access to the containment cell is to only be accessible via a Quarantine Unit, and any implements provided to SCP-XXXX-2 are to be incinerated within the unit. SCP-XXXX-2 is by no means allowed to leave this containment area. Any staff interacting with the subject are to only do so within a Hazardous Materials suit, and are to remain in the Quarantine unit for a minimum of six hours following interaction.
In the event a secondary source of infection is found, former containment procedures are to be reinstated.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a bacterium found natively across several regions in Eastern █████ (See Addendum-02). XXXX is pathogenic, and capable of spreading via airborne, direct, indirect and droplet transmission. Despite this, the bacterium shows no sign of causing any abnormal condition impacting the host, and studies have suggested the pathogen is stable and relatively non-mutative. SCP-XXXX's primary anomalous trait is it's ability to mimic surrounding cells despite being a non-complex unicellular entity. Without being isolated, SCP-XXXX is near impossible to identify in the wild.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a mutated form of SCP-XXXX, first identified when Foundation personnel embedded in ██████████, ██████ identified a potentially anomalous disease outbreak. On coming into contact with a human host, SCP-XXXX-1 targets cells within the bodies Muscular System, replicating itself and replacing target cells. This process takes a maximum of eight hours after first infection. During this time, the host will be assailed by an increasing number of muscular spasms and tics. Stages of infection are described below:
| Hours after infection |
Symptoms |
| One Hour |
A significant number of Infected subjects pick up small, movement based tics, such as the involuntary tapping of feet or fingers. Others have been seen to remain stable at this stage. |
| Two Hours |
At this points, the vast majority of infected individuals will have picked up the aforementioned tics tics. The number of these tics will shift, now including involuntary muscular twitches across the body. |
| Four Hours |
Most infected will begin to show involuntary movement that is identifiable by outside observers. Some will 'lose control' of parts of their bodies: some subjects report pacing without being unable to stop, and in the reverse some have reportedan inability to move. A small number have been recorded to remain more subtle in their symptoms and retain the prior stage. |
| Six Hours |
All infected will begin to lose control of their muscular functions as a whole. Spasms increase in severity, resembling epileptic fits in some individuals. The onset of symptoms will rapidly hit infected who showed less symptoms and often presents itself more sever. A low number of subjects remain in control enough to speak. |
| Eight Hours |
All infected begin to show symptoms remember Grand-Mal Seizures. Muscular controls across the entire body will be lost. At this point, infected will continue to move until they physically cannot anymore, with muscular tearing and bone fractures common. Death is guaranteed at this point, ranging from minutes after symptoms hit their peak to days following such. Consciousness is intermittant. |
The exact causation of the mutative form of SCP-XXXX is unknown. No examples have been found in the wild, and XXXX-1 has minimal survival rates outside of a host. Research is ongoing completed (see Addendum-01).
ADDENDUM-01
SCP-XXXX-2 is a Caucasian male with blue eyes and auburn hair. They stand at five foot nine inches, and have few distinguishing features. SCP-XXXX-1
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a 8' x 8' cell. The cell is to furnished according to the subjects wishes following review. As of 01/01/21, the current furnishings consist of;
- A bookcase fitted with influential works from the past century.
- A 1' x 1' square table and an accompanying chair
- A reading lamp
- A copy of the Torah
SCP-XXXX is to be allowed access to the on-site synagogue once weekly, in exchange with continued cooperation.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an male animated skeleton of middle eastern descent. SCP-XXXX's bones are covered in flakes of gold, which has been affixed via the use of beeswax. The subject is also decorated with a number of gold pieces of jewellery in the form of serpents, the largest of which are moving up the arms and legs. Also present is a rope made from hemp fibre, which has been wrapped around the subjects neck, and a white robe. Carbon dating has shown that both the rope and skeleton date to around 30 CE, while all other decorative items date to around 120 CE.
SCP-XXXX was recovered in a crypt discovered approximately half a mile beneath the Catacomb's of Callixtus in Rome, Italy. The passage to the crypt was uncovered following restoration efforts, which was followed by an archaeological study of the site. As efforts continued, reports of supernatural events with the crypt escalated, including reports of unidentified speech and of a skeletal figure within the deepest sections of the crypt. Foundation investigation followed, at which point SCP-XXXX was apprehended and taken into custody. The crypt itself was identified as non-anomalous in nature, though observation continues.
Despite an absence of voice box, SCP-XXXX is capable of speaking in a formerly unknown dialect of Classical Hebrew. They are unwilling to identify themselves, stating that they have forgotten who they are. Despite this, the subject has offered descriptions of past events in their life over a number of interviews. According to the subject, they were once a murderer who 'struck out at oppressors' occupying their homeland. This occurred early in the subjects life, and with age they settled, leading to them taking up the teaching of a local Rabbi. This continued until the Rabbi asked the subject to help them with a plan. In the wake of this incident, the subject claimed he did 'the unthinkable' was saved from the unthinkable (See Addendum 01) and in the wake of this was punished by 'HaShem'[footnote]]Translated as 'The Name'. Used by certain Jewish groups to refer to Yahweh outside of liturgical context.[/footnote]]. Subject explains that this punishment led to his current condition.
The subject shows no sign of anomalous condition beyond their continued existence, and interviews reveal little information about the nature of their anomalous features, claiming it simply 'woke up' within the confines of the crypt. Questioning and continued research into the possibility of anomalous features are to continue.
ADDENDUM-01
On ██/██/██, an interview was conducted by Dr. ██████ Kohen. He was instructed to identify further information on 'HaShem', and was encouraged to pursue the question of the subjects continued faith. This interview is logged below, translated into English:
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Kohen: Hello, XXXX. How are you feeling today?
SCP-XXXX: All the worse for question time, I'm afraid
Dr. Kohen: Well, I can at least say this'll be fairly short. We really just have a couple to go over. There's been something bothering the staff - Namely, your continued following of religion despite your experience with HaShem. Why do you still follow Him?
SCP-XXX: I follow Jah. I do not follow HaShem.
Dr. Kohen: Jah… But both are the same entity, according to scripture. Could you extrapolate on what you mean?
SCP-XXX: I see knowledge has withered. Pity. I did not once follow the teachings of Yahweh, of the texts you have given me. That I came to worship in my confinement. I followed what came before them.
Dr. Kohen: I see. And you picked this up from your mentor?
SCP-XXX: The Rabbi, yes. He took me into his flock.
Dr. Kohen: Until you did the… 'Unthinkable', correct?
SCP-XXXX: No.
Dr. Kohen: That is what you told us in prior interviews.
SCP-XXXX: No. You have misunderstood; I saved myself from the unthinkable. It is the absence of action which saved me.
Dr. Kohen: Could you… Elaborate?
SCP-XXXX: The Rabbi asked me to do… Things too despicable to speak, in the name of HaShem. I could not, and I turned him over to the law. He cursed me as he lay dying, and that of HaShem did so too.
Dr. Kohen: I see. I'll have that fixed in our records. Back on to topic, though. If HaShem is not Yahweh, what is he?
SCP-XXXX: He is one of the seven faces. The Rabbi preached of these great beings, each a face representing The Father. 'Ila, Eloah, Elohim, Shaddai, Ehyeh, Tsebaoth, and HaShem. They were what were promised, and what were here, a concept both yet to come and destined to arrive. I do not know if they lived, but their power did… Or perhaps it was The Father, in their names. I cannot say, for such things are beyond a man.
Dr. Kohen: These are all names that represent Yahweh. Are you saying-
SCP-XXX: Yahweh is newer than Them. He emerged after they, born from mans desire to seek something good from such evils. The Father and Yahweh - Perhaps they coexist. Yet I can say if they do, The Father and his Faces are more terrible than anything Yahweh could be. This I can say, and know it to be true. I do not dare say anymore of Them now. Name's have power, Dr. Kohen.
Dr. Kohen: Thank you for your cooperation as always. I think we can conclude here.
[END LOG]
Any further interview's conducted should focus on furthering information on this religious entity, and of the nature of The Father and his Face's.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept within a standard containment chamber and lain horizontally on a 1.8 metre plinth at all times. As an incentive for further cooperation, SCP-XXXX has been given limited access to amenities following staff review. As of 01/01/21, the current provisions are:
- A voice controlled audiobook system with a curated library of influential works.
- A voice controlled, roof mounted television with access to local televised broadcasts.
- Weekly visits from an on-site Rabbi.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the skeleton of an adult male of Middle Eastern descent. The subject's bones are covered in flakes of gold, which has been affixed via the use of beeswax. SCP-XXXX is adorned with a number of gold pieces of jewellery in the form of serpents, the largest of which are coiled around both arms and legs. Also present is a rope made from hemp fibre, which has been wrapped around the subjects neck, and a white robe. Dating has shown that both the rope and skeleton date to within the 1st century CE, while all other decorative items date to the 2nd century CE.
SCP-XXXX was recovered from a crypt discovered approximately half a mile beneath the Catacombs of Callixtus in Rome, Italy. The passage to the crypt was uncovered following restoration efforts, which was followed by an archaeological study of the site. As efforts continued, reports of supernatural events within the crypt escalated, primarily records of an unknown voice. SCP-XXXX entered containment following Foundation investigation. Early investigation has suggested the crypt itself is non-anomalous. Observation is ongoing.
SCP-XXXX is capable of vocalisation despite lacking organs. These vocalisations manifest as male, and speak fluent Classical Hebrew. Though willing to engage in interviews with staff, the subject seems to be unable, or unwilling, to identify themselves, and claims to have forgotten who they were. Nevertheless, the subject has offered multiple variations of events within their life. Though variable, several consistent elements have been identified:
- The subject was once a young warrior who lashed out at an occupying force in their homeland.
- They lost this spark with age, and instead began to follow a local Rabbi.
- The Rabbi sought the aid of the subject for a ceremony.
- The subject did the 'unthinkable' avoided doing the 'unthinkable' (See Addendum-01)
- For this, the subject was punished by 'HaShem'. Following his death, they resuscitated, incapable of anything but thought and speech.
SCP-XXXX shows no sign of further anomalous ability beyond their continued vocalisations. Due to dialogue with the subject suggesting a duplicitous nature, observation and studying of cell samples are to continue unless further anomalous activity is definitively proven absent.
ADDENDUM-01
On ██/██/██, an interview was conducted by Dr. ██████ Kohen. He was instructed to identify further information on 'HaShem', and was encouraged to pursue the question of the subject's continued faith. This interview is logged below, translated to English:
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Kohen: Good afternoon, XXXX. How are we feeling today?
SCP-XXXX: The same as ever, doctor. I have been listening to… Nietzsche in the past day. A rather incendiary man.
Dr. Kohen: I'm glad to hear that you are keeping yourself stimulated. You'll be pleased to hear that I don't believe your studies will be disrupted for long then. My superiors would just like me to go over a couple subject areas with you again.
SCP-XXXX: I am doing nothing else, doctor. Out with it.
Dr. Kohen: Right. In prior interviews, you've discussed your relationship with a Rabbi. You note how it ended poorly and led to HaShem cursing you. Yet you continue to ask for sermons from ██████ each week. If your last experience with the faith went so poorly, why do you continue to follow HaShem?
SCP-XXXX: I do not follow HaShem.
Dr. Kohen: This would be contrary to information you've given us before. Now I know we've allowed you to have some quality of life items, but lying is an easy way to-
SCP-XXXX: I do not lie, doctor. I do not follow HaShem, I follow Jah. Once I followed HaShem. Now I do not.
Dr. Kohen: XXXX, Jah and HaShem are one and the same according to scripture. I don't exactly believe-
SCP-XXXX: Has knowledge withered this much? Yahweh, the lord that your rabbi preaches of, He is a different thing. But the Rabbi, the man I followed in Jerusalem, he did not preach such things. He preached of HaShem, one of the seven faces.
Dr. Kohen: … Could you elaborate?
SCP-XXXX: The Rabbi… He preached of seven great beings, that each were a face of another, The Father. They were 'Ila, Eloah, Elohim, Shaddai, Ehyeh, Tsebaoth, and HaShem. The seven… I do not know if they were, or if they were to be. But in worship of them, you worshipped The Father. I do not think it matters if they had came to be yet.
Dr. Kohen: I see. This worship was part of the Rabbi's… 'plan', then?
SCP-XXXX: It was. He wanted me to participate. To do… terrible things in HaShem's name. Unspeakable things.
Dr. Kohen gestures for the subject to continue.
SCP-XXXX: I could not. I turned him over to the law, and they sentenced him to death. They drew it out, to make the punishment more fitting for what he had done, and for what he had proposed. It took days for him to die. He spent his last breaths cursing my name.
Dr. Kohen: I see. If it's alright with you, I'd like to take the conversation back to these deities. I notice their name's are identical to titles for Yahweh. Are you saying that-
SCP-XXXX: Yahweh is younger than They are. He was born from Them, though. Good men could not accept the evils of the Father, and so sought something good from Him and his Faces. They coexist, an ugly truth and a beautiful lie. Yahweh is good, but The Father is terrible. I choose to follow Yahweh because I have rejected this truth I once followed.
Dr. Kohen: T-
SCP-XXXX: I am done speaking. I have spoken of Them too much. Names have power, ██████. More than you know.
Dr. Kohen: … Thank you for your cooperation. I think we're done here.
[END LOG]
Further interviews were conducted with the subject, asking near identical questions as to the above. The subject responded in similar ways each time, with little to no deviation of information. Future interviews should focus on gathering more information on the worship of the 'Faces' and 'The Father'.
