SCP-4173: Why am I here? I did nothing-
"Dr. Magnus interrupts SCP-4173."
Dr. Magnus: Please SCP-4173. You are not in trouble. We're merely here to ask you questions about your abilities.
SCP-4173: I already told you guys everything that I know about myself, alright?
Dr. Magnus: That's correct, but this time we would like you to go into greater detail. Specifically, we observed your agility matching that of SCP-682.
SCP-4173: (agitated) Wait, you're not comparing me to that lizard thing, are you? I'm not equal to that thing, ok.
Dr. Magnus: Do not get aggressive, we're not insulting you 4173, we sawed the security videotapes, and I'm impressed, you helped the Mobile Task Forces to contain 682, but why you didn't flee when you had the opportunity, why staying?
SCP-4173: It's hard to explain, it's true, my first thought was to flee, but I thought better if I leave and that ugly [DATA REDACTED] escapes, the whole world would be in major danger right now.
Dr. Magnus: So thinking the best way of stop 682 was to confront it, why?
SCP-4173: Because I'm not a killer, I don't kill for sport, I kill for defending myself and anyone from any unknown entity's, knowing that's dangerous for me and the others, protecting become my priority.
Dr. Magnus: I've nothing to ask, you may leave the room, SCP-4173, thanks for your collaboration.

Note from Dr. Magnus
SCP-4173 may prove useful in the containment of Euclid/Keter threats in the future. It is my recommendation that SCP-4173 undergo further testing and analysis to determine whether or not it is suitable for reclassification as thaumiel. -Dr. Magnus.
SCP-4173 exited the facility before 2100h, and it took with it an unknown object, the 2100h limit passed, no sign of SCP-4173, immediately MTF L-4 (Birdwatchers) was deployed to search and contain SCP-4173.
After a period of 2 hours, MTF Lambda-4 spotted the entity in a clearing; 4173 was in possession of a telescope and appeared to be studying constellations.
MTF Lambda-4 contained the entity without struggle, SCP-4173 was immediately brought in for questioning.

Dr. Magnus: Now why did you leave nearly at 2000h and didn't return after that?
SCP-4173: UNRESPONSIVE.
Dr. Magnus: SCP-4173, If you talk there may be a chance that I'll forget this incident.
SCP-4173: Now I can't go outside with a telescope to watch the night sky.
Dr. Magnus: You have rules you must respect while you're in containment, otherwise we will revoke your classification.
SCP-4173: Wait, you never told me that I had a classification.
Dr. Magnus: Yes you have, but we never told to you, now you want to know.
SCP-4173: Yes, I'm really curious now.
Dr. Magnus: You're now Thaumiel, but if you keep breaking the rules, we will reclassify you to Euclid.
SCP-4173: So I'm just supposed to stare at my walls for the rest of my life?
Dr. Magnus: How about this: If you can maintain good behavior for the next week you will be allowed one excursion to a secluded area of our choosing. You will be under armed guard, and if you try to breach containment, I can guarantee you that you will never see the sky again. If you keep a low profile and do as you're told, however, these excursions may become more frequent. Do we have a deal?"
SCP-4173: Ok, now one little question?
Dr. Magnus: Yes, SCP-4173.
SCP-4173: Where's my telescope?
Dr. Magnus: Don't worry, we will give it back.
SCP-4173: Thanks, can I go now?
Dr. Magnus: Yes, you may now leave the room. Thank you for your cooperation.
