Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained in a standard bio-containment chamber, especially designed to provide a recreational habitat suited for penguins. Staff are allowed to talk to SCP-XXXX, although revealing classified information will be reprimanded. Nature documentaries involving killer whales are prohibited from being discussed or shown to SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Spheniscus humboldti1 110cm of height. SCP-XXXX has expressed levels of intellect on par with humans, far beyond what would be expected. SCP-XXXX is capable of speech, and understands human language. It has even demonstrated the ability to read. SCP-XXXX has claimed to possess a Ph.D. on “avian-cetacean relations”. It has expressed interest in the Foundation's activities, although lacks any knowledge of the actual purpose. SCP-XXXX has proven exceptionally skilled in communication between birds and cetacean species. SCP-XXXX states that it can speak with several marine creatures. It has been noted that SCP-XXXX possesses a British accent when speaking English. Staff have nicknamed it “Dr. Penguin”.
SCP-XXXX has consistently expressed a strong dislike for the “war” going on between its kind and killer whales (Orcinus orca), claiming that it has lasted for generations. When questioned, SCP-XXXX described the wars as “pointless murder”. It was confirmed by Foundation marine biologists that the “war” is just the predatory relationship between penguins and orcas. SCP-XXXX usually talks about its desire to end the “war” by achieving a mutual agreement of peace on both sides.
SCP-XXXX's flippers are inhibited with a sturdy solution with properties similar to glue. This solution can be extracted, and has been designated SCP-XXXX-A. SCP-XXXX possesses the ability to command whether SCP-XXXX-A sticks or not, and uses this ability to operate and handle various tools with relative ease. SCP-XXXX-A is secreted constantly, but only if SCP-XXXX chooses to utilize it does it become adhesive. SCP-XXXX has no trouble manipulating objects as if it had five-fingered hands like primates.
Document #XXXX-001: Recorded transcript of an interview upon discovery:
Interviewer: Dr. Lawrence Hoffman
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX
<Begin log>
Dr. Hoffman: Good evening, SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: X-X-X-X? What is that, a code? At least call me “Dr.” before that.
Dr. Hoffman: “Dr.”? Doctor of what?
SCP-XXXX: I went to college around ████, eventually got a Ph.D. in avian-cetacean relations no less! I can speak several marine languages.
Dr. Hoffman: So… you’re multilingual?
SCP-XXXX: Certainly so. And what’s your name?
Dr. Hoffman: My name’s Lawrence.
SCP-XXXX: Can I call you Larry?
Dr. Hoffman: No.
(SCP-XXXX chuckles and proceeds to look around.)
SCP-XXXX: So… this place, then. What’s this? A laboratory?
Dr. Hoffman: Sort of.
SCP-XXXX: Well, it is of a remarkable quality! The walls look smooth - you’re wearing a nice lab coat, Larry! You a scientist? What do you study?
Dr. Hoffman: Umm… well, we look at… paranormal things.
SCP-XXXX: Ah, like, bigfoot? Those kinds of things? Those ‘cryptids’ you humans are always chasing after like bloody lunatics?
Dr. Hoffman: You could say so, yes - when we first found you, you were trying to.. (Dr. Hoffman checks notes.)..advocate for orcas to stop hunting penguins?
SCP-XXXX: Ah yes, those dumb cetaceans. You know, my kind has been at war with them since as long as I remember. They just don’t understand that they’re aggravating us! It’s why I’m seeking to end this once and for all.
Dr. Hoffman: And how will you achieve this?
SCP-XXXX: Well I- I… uhh… (SCP-XXXX pauses to think.) I… don’t really know. I tried to converse with the orcas in the past, but they’re… you know, ‘bite first, talk later’ kind of animals.
Dr. Hoffman: My file here says you’ve got secretions from your flippers, right? How do they work?
SCP-XXXX: Oh, these? My mum gave me these for my 4th birthday! I’ve never had to worry about carrying books or opening doors since! I guess I just… grab stuff when I want to grab stuff.
Dr. Hoffman: Well, since you can talk to marine beings, perhaps you could help us with some translation? We’ve got several specimens for you to communicate to.
SCP-XXXX: Sure, why not?
Experiment Log XXXXa-01:
This might help us see if we can improve containment for the marine anomalies by having SCP-XXXX act as a ‘translator’ of sorts.
Item: SCP-4307
Results: SCP-XXXX introduced into the observation area for SCP-4307. SCP-4307-6 and SCP-4307-14 approach SCP-XXXX, making several sounds. SCP-XXXX stares at the instances and turns around, stating “These guys are speaking some sort of ancient dialect… how old are they?”
Notes: SCP-XXXX said that marine life’s languages change throughout generations.
Item: SCP-1057
Results: SCP-XXXX introduced into the observation area for SCP-1057. SCP-XXXX vocalizes distress about the nature of SCP-1057. When prompted, he responded “That thing is not an animal!”. SCP-1057 swam near SCP-XXXX, prompting him to run away.
Notes: SCP-1057, being an animate displacement of mass, doesn’t seem to truly count as a ‘marine animal’.
Item: SCP-2761
Results: SCP-XXXX introduced into the observation area for SCP-2761. SCP-XXXX stutters, making a small vocalization. SCP-2761 seemingly responds, much to the shock of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX proceeds to tell the researchers around him that SCP-2761 “wants more space to roam”.
Notes: SCP-XXXX stated “Apparently he used to be a fish! Good chat with him.”
