Item #: SCP-4451

Object Class: Safe/Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4451 is relatively unique in that it has free range to roam the facility as it pleases, though it may not leave the premises. However, its containment procedures dictate that it is not allowed to contain itself within one confined area for more than an hour at a time, unless given specific instructions to the contrary by personnel with a security clearance level of 3 or above. This is due to SCP-4451's combat prowess, which is most often used to dispatch more dangerous SCPs in the event of a containment breach. In the event of such a breach, SCP-4451 is not allowed inside of its cell, as it serves too useful to the safety of SCP workers. Employees of all security clearance levels may interact with it, unless it is in combat with a rogue entity.

Description: SCP-4451 appears to be a pink-skinned, flat-chested female humanoid in her mid-twenties, with magenta hair tied into a lighting bolt-shaped ponytail. Its eyes are similar to a cat's, being large, round, and yellow, with black vertical slits for pupils. The subject does not appear to have a nose or ears, though it does possess earholes under its skin where its ears would be. The lipless mouth of the specimen is large and black, with a zigzag shape across most of the bottom half of its face. It wears a yellow pantsuit with a white dress shirt and a black bow tie. All of its clothing material is made of a flexible cobalt-████████ alloy, rendering the entity's garments bulletproof. Though its feet are usually covered by black dress shoes, further inspection of the organism will show that it possesses five digits on each foot. The subject is exactly 2.03 meters (6 feet 8 inches) tall, and weighs 68.0389 kg (150.0000981 lbs) without its clothing.

The subject claims to be eternally 4,444 years old, and speaks fluent English, Latin, and Greek. It also has in-depth knowledge of literature, culture, history, biology, psychology, ethics, and the SCP facility itself, including the identities of the premises' personnel and specimens. Despite its intelligence, the specimen does not see itself as above others. It also possesses a certain level of disdain for those it feels are discriminatory against others. The entity speaks with a Gaelic accent, though it claims to originate from ████. SCP-4451 seems especially protective of On-site links, with whom it can frequently be seen conversing and cuddling with.

The organism, when not in combat, tends to use its scythe as a cane rather than a weapon, the shaft of which is 200 cm (6.56168 ft) tall, with a curved black blade 1.143 m (45 in) long. The tool weighs 5 kg (11.0231 lbs), is made up entirely of █████████████. Along with other solid entities within a 2-meter range of SCP-4451, it can be made corporeal or incorporeal to the specimen's will. This includes walls— it is merely good manners on the part of the organism that it has not yet escaped. With this power, SCP-4451 is similar to On-site links, in that it can walk through solid material. Unlike it, however, the entities it walks through remain in the condition they were in before they were passed through.

The subject is notable for being both the only SCP to turn itself in to the SCP Foundation, as well as the only one to forcefully bring another anomalous being with it, that being On-site links, who it shares a close resemblance to, and is not to be confused with.

SCP-4451: Good morning, Dr. Agarwal.

Dr. Agarwal: Good morning. Now, SCP-4451, wouldn't most find it unusual that you not only turned yourself in to the SCP Foundation, but turned in SCP-4453 as well?

SCP-4451: I suppose so. Yet, when I heard about this facility, I thought we belonged here, if we were as much a threat to humanity as your some of your acquaintances claim. I trust that they have humanity's best interests in mind, as do I. About you, however…

Dr. Agarwal: (defensively) What exactly do you mean by that?

SCP-4451: I trust a woman of your intellect is familiar with Philippa Foot's Trolley Problem?

Dr. Agarwal: (pretentiously) Yes. Five people are tied up to the main track of a trolley, and just one is tied to a side track. A runaway trolley is approaching those on the main track, and the individual to whom this dilemma is being presented is standing next to a switch. The problem is derived from the clashing moral schools of utilitarianism and deontology. Should the individual save the five by dooming the one? Although most say they would pull the lever, the results of saving the majority dwindle if that group of individuals is made out to be somehow worth less than the one, usually in that they are criminals, and/or that the sole person on the side track is one with a positive relationship with the one being told of the thought experiment. Yes, I am familiar.

SCP-4451: Suppose, then, that you are the individual next to the lever. What would you do?

Dr. Agarwal (hesitatively): Switch the lever, of course! I would … I would choose the action conducive to saving the most people.

SCP-4451 (darkly, accusatorily): No, no you wouldn't. YOU wouldn't. You believe some lives are worth more than others, don't you?

Dr. Agarwal (slightly flustered): Absolutely absurd! I will not stand for such an accusation against my moral character!
SCP-4451: Lord, Lord, how this world is given to lying! If this were not so, you would not consider— and you've done much more than consider— freeing some of your more … injurious specimens, shall we say? You're more than intelligent enough to realize that your actions could lead to the deaths of innocent civilians— but you don't care, they're just stupid humans to you, right? You think that only the smartest deserve to be spared from the carnage you will reap upon the earth, and that those you deem intelligent ought to be the only ones left to make scientific breakthroughs for, what in your eyes, is a better world without those pesky commonfolk! If what you say about your morals were true, you wouldn't be so entangled with the ████ of the-

Dr. Agarwal (interjectingly, angrily) : This interview is over!

Closing Statement: After this interaction, SCP-4451 recommended that one should "keep two eyes on that player queen". Dr.Agarwal visited On-site links shortly after, claiming she needed "to settle [her]self down". Interestingly, several members of the Anatidae family nearly escaped containment that day, and SCP-4451 captured them and return them to the facility.
