Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Thaumiel Keter

"Paranoia is the recurring theme in my dreams these days. Are we really making the right choice or are we just pawns dancing on the palm of his hand? I've seen many disasters and atrocities during my years in site-██, but I've never had a greater desire to leave my position as I have now." - Dr. J. Lorenfield.

Special Containment Procedures:

Upon recapture, SCP-XXXX must be contained in a special high-security residential containment chamber at site-██. The walls should be made with reinforced glass and there should be a task force team with no less than 6 heavily armed members on watch at all times. No interaction with SCP-XXXX is allowed at any point without a direct order from the O5 council.

DESCRIPTION:

SCP-XXXX was originally a D-Class personnel named Thomas ████ ██████. A 23 years-old Brazilian criminal of mixed-asian descent born and raised in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, convicted of several crimes during its time as an active member of the organized crime.

Thomas was initially assigned as one of the test subjects for SCP-████, a notoriously aggressive entity that had yet to let a single D-Class subject escape its containment chamber intact. But SCP-XXXX survived the experiment by ████████ its way to █████ and, due to that, it was sent to the medical ward to be examined. Nothing strange was found about SCP-XXXX's anatomy and he was sent back to his cell.

After this event, he was also sent as a test subject for experiments with SCP-████, then SCP-████ and SCP-████ but at all of those times, SCP-XXXX kept surviving by what was only considered to simply be pure luck. At which point the D-Class Thomas ████ ██████, received the nickname "Lucky Tom", given by Dr. Lorenfield.

Since then, Lucky Tom has been sent in 57 experiments with different objects, some of which were deadly experiments that were almost guaranteed to result in SCP-XXXX's death. Because of all of the strange circumstances around it, Lucky Tom was officially categorized as a potential SCP object under observation.

Test 1 - January ██, 2011

AGENT CHARLES K.: Good morning, I'm agent Charles █████████. It is an honor to meet you in person, Lucky Tom. I'll be the one responsible for your very first test log.

- SCP-XXXX: ………..Good morning.

AGENT CHARLES K.: Is there a problem?

- SCP-XXXX: N-no… It's just that… It's kinda weird being on this side of the table, you know? Usually, it's me sitting where you are, asking questions to some demonic entity… Now you guys think I'M the demonic entity.

AGENT CHARLES K.: Well… You really are nothing short of a record-breaker in the Foundation's history. It is expected for any sort of anomaly to be, at least, investigated.

- SCP-XXXX: …Can't argue that…

AGENT CHARLES K.: Are you ready? Do you have any questions?

- SCP-XXXX: I do, actually. What exactly am I being tested for?

AGENT CHARLES K.: Oh, it is very simple. I have a coin right here and I'll toss it up. You're going to have to call whether or not it is head or tails.

- SCP-XXXX: What happens if I get it wrong?

AGENT CHARLES K.: ……

AGENT CHARLES K.: …Agent Charles…? What happens if I get it wrong…?

AGENT CHARLES K.: Let's begin.

Agent Charles tosses the coin. Waits for SCP-XXXX to respond.

- SCP-XXXX: …Head.

AGENT CHARLES K.: …It's tails.

Agent Charles pull out his gun and shoots SCP-XXXX's leg.

- SCP-XXXX: AAAGGGH FUUUCK!!!

AGENT CHARLES K.: Let's try again.

- SCP-XXXX: What?! No WAIT, PLEASE!

Agent Charles tosses the coin again.

AGENT CHARLES K.: What is your call?

- SCP-XXXX: P-please man, stop, I don't have any-

Agent Charles pull out his gun again and empties his clip shooting near and around SCP-XXXX's body, intentionally missing him by only a few millimeters.

AGENT CHARLES K.: My time is precious, Thomas. I need you to answer head or tails, not "please". The next time you fail to answer the exceptionally easy question, I'll have to treat it as a failed guess. Am I clear?

SCP-XXXX is sobbing on the corner.

AGENT CHARLES K.: Was I clear, Thomas?

- SCP-XXXX: …Yes… Let's continue.

AGENT CHARLES K.: Good.

Agent Charles reloads his pistol before proceeding with the test.

Results: Inconclusive.
After 100 tossed coins, SCP-XXXX guessed an exact 50% of coin tosses correctly. The other 50 times resulted in shots on non-lethal areas on SCP-XXXX's body.

Analysis:
Even though Lucky Tom's behavior seemed appropriate for normal human response, the test, not only resulted in an exact 50% head-tails percentage, but it was the same pattern throughout the entire test. If the first coin was head. the following would be tails, and the next one would be heads and so on and on… Despite this, SCP-XXXX only picked "head" as its choice. The way SCP-XXXX was playing the game did not match its apparent emotional distress.

SCP-XXXX was still classified as Thaumiel class object and still served as a reliable test subject for several other SCP objects through the year, always leaving unscathed. The foundation kept using SCP-XXXX for over 200 tests which included but were not limited to extraction tasks, exploration, security repairing, interviewing and sample collecting.

INTERVIEW ON AGENT CHARLES K. - June ██, 2012

Subject: [Agent Charles K.]
Interviewer: [Agent █████████]

Topic: [Report on SCP-XXXX's unusual behavior, tests conducted as well as theories and insights about the situation from Charles and Dr. Lorenfield.]

<Begin Log>
AGENT CHARLES K.: [It's been… Roughly… A year and a half ever since I've been assigned as responsible in conducting interrogations and experiments in SCP-XXXX alongside Dr. Lorenfield… ]

AGENT █████████: [What can you tell us about SCP-XXXX?]
AGENT CHARLES K.: [Honestly, not much. The test results are all over the place. They are too exact to be simply coincidence, but there is no apparent pattern about them.]

AGENT █████████: [Please elaborate.]
AGENT CHARLES K.: […Sometimes, he doesn't get hurt at all. Most of the time, he gets hurt exactly 50% of the time and, once in a while, he takes the worst luck possible and suffers the most with that…]
AGENT █████████: [But you and Dr. Lorenfield believe that SCP-XXXX might be intentionally allowing this to happen?]
AGENT CHARLES K.: [Maybe.]
AGENT █████████: [Why is that?]
AGENT CHARLES K.: [Because of the way SCP-XXXX has been playing these games. He clearly expresses signs of emotional distress, panic, and pain… But when asked to perform a potentially dangerous task which had already proven to be harmful to him, he still insists on pressing the same button.]
AGENT █████████: [Like it did on the coin flip test.]
AGENT CHARLES K.: [It's the one consistent thing throughout his tests… And it only emphasizes the overall inconsistency of the tests as a whole. Everything about this guy is inconsistent and… It's really taking a toll on me.]
AGENT █████████: [Please elaborate.]
AGENT CHARLES K.: [Because he is CLEARLY putting himself in harm's way. It HAS to be on purpose, but when you see the guy cry and panic over it, it makes me feel like I'm pointlessly torturing a random guy.]
AGENT █████████: [Agent Charles… Please remember that it used to be a mere D-Class. You must remain professional about this issue.]
AGENT CHARLES K.: [You don't have to tell me that… But when you see the guy begging for mercy like that… He started to desperately beg to his mom these days… It gets in your head. His behavior as a whole doesn't match the crimes that he supposedly committed to end up as a D-Class…]
AGENT █████████: [Agent Charles…?]
AGENT CHARLES K.: [He-…He has to be doing this on purpose, he HAS to… I…]
Pause
AGENT CHARLES K.: [He looks so young as well… It's starting to make me think of my children… And my mother…]
Another pause.
AGENT CHARLES K.: [Say, agent █████████… Is the one being tested… really him?… Or… or is it me?]
AGENT █████████: […That's enough. I'll discuss the situation with your superiors on a later date. In the meantime, why don't you take a vacation?]

<End Log>

35 tests were performed exploring SCP-XXXX's luck, but all of them resulted in similar inconsistency with unlikely circumstances surrounding the test, SCP-XXXX responses as well as inconclusive data.

The exception was the last test: Test 36.

Test 36 - December ██, 2012

Subject: D-Class Personal ████████ and SCP-XXXX

Procedure: Electric Russian Roullete
Several D-Class personnel were separated to test SCP-XXXX's luck. A D-Class would stand in front of SCP-XXXX who would be holding a switch, which had a 1% chance of shocking both SCP-XXXX and the D-Class in question. The electrical discharge would hurt but not kill any of them, but each time the switch is flipped, the more likely it is that one of them would be electrocuted and the longer the test goes, the stronger the final voltage would be.

Results: Inconclusive.
During the first test, the first time the switch was flipped, it delivers the least powerful voltage of 1% against SCP-XXXX. But this continued every single time that the switch was flipped. SCP-XXXX was shocked several times, the security person was forced to stop the test to verify if the mechanism was functioning properly. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the machine, the test continued for several hours with SCP-XXXX and even the D-Class demonstrating considerable distress.

Eventually the staff decided to try switching with another D-Class personal.

In the second test, the switch was flipped 99 times with no result. On the 100th attempt, the highest possible voltage electrocuted SCP-XXXX who became incapacitated and unable to continue.

Analysis:
"Forget about being lucky or blessed. It's more likely that SCP-XXXX is cursed by something or someone and surviving the horrors of the tests is merely a different means of torture…". - Dr. J. Lorenfield.

A few hours before the report was sent to the O5 council, the machine used for the previous test caused a major explosion at site ██, causing a major containment breach which lasted 5 days before barely stabilizing the situation.

But during this incident, SCP-XXXX, thought to be unconscious due to his injuries a few hours earlier, was seen in the cameras of sector █ communicating with SCP-████. It is now believed that "Lucky Tom" not only WAS faking his emotional distress but might've even intentionally entered the foundation as a D-Class, specifically to come in contact with certain entities.

After SCP-XXXX's recapture, agent Charles was sent to personally interrogate it. The fact that it was seen with SCP-████ could turn out to be potentially dangerous for the Foundation as a whole and the agent was instructed to draw answers by "whatever means necessary".

Interrogation - December ██, 2012

Agent Charles enters the room along with the rest of his team consisting of four other agents.

- SCP-XXXX: Good morning, agents.

Agent Charles punches SCP-XXXX, it falls from the chair.

- AGENT CHARLES K.: Don't you fucking "good morning" me. I want to know whether or not you caused that containment breach last week.

SCP-XXXX gets back up, picks up his chair, calmly sits before responding.

- SCP-XXXX: I don't understand what you are saying.

- AGENT CHARLES K.: No… You do know what I'm saying.

Agent Charles signals his team. One agent holds its hands in the back of the chair while the other ties its arms, legs, and cuffs its wrists together behind its back.

- AGENT CHARLES K.: It's strange how, in such a large containment breach, only █ officers were killed. And even stranger that these officers were all my subordinates and friends. I'm the only connection between all of them. Me. The one guy responsible for all your tests.

- SCP-XXXX: I agree. It's very strange.

- AGENT CHARLES K.: …Is that all you have to say for yourself?

- SCP-XXXX: I still don't know what you mean.

- AGENT CHARLES K.: What the- WHAT IS UP WITH YOU?!

- SCP-XXXX: …

- AGENT CHARLES K.: WHY ARE YOU EVEN LYING AT THIS POINT?! WHAT'S YOUR DEAL?!!

- SCP-XXXX: I… I… Don't…Know…

- AGENT CHARLES K.: Yes, you FUCKING DO! I saw the recording, you were casually talking with SCP-████ and even looked at the goddamn camera and SMILED! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!

- SCP-XXXX: …

- AGENT CHARLES K.: Fine, then… Have it your way. But we're not allowed to leave this room without answers.

Agent Charles, along with his team, proceed to spend the next 49 hours in the test chamber with SCP-XXXX, trying to communicate with him, applying a series of tests and medical exams, but the majority of time was spent on interrogation and torture methods. SCP-XXXX remained silent the entire time.

In the 50th hour, during the team's break, SCP-XXXX, who seemed unconscious at the time, began speaking again.

- SCP-XXXX: Markus… Amanda…

- AGENT SAMANTHA L.: Captain, he's saying something.

- SCP-XXXX: Terry… Elena…

- AGENT CHARLES K.: What's he's saying…?

- SCP-XXXX: Timothy… Oscar…

- AGENT ELLEN G.: He's… saying names. Should we write this down?

- AGENT LIAM. P.: Why is he smiling?

- SCP-XXXX: David… Oliver… Samantha…

- AGENT SAMANTHA. L.: Oh no…

- AGENT LIAM. P.: You don't think…

- SCP-XXXX: Enzo… Liam…

- AGENT CHARLES K.: He's naming people that I know. Friends, family, and co-workers.

- SCP-XXXX: Ellen… Sergei……. By tomorrow morning, all of them will-

The audio and video cut off for a few seconds. The reason for the interference is unknown.

By the time video and audio returns, the assigned team is trying to hold back agent Charles to not attack SCP-XXXX, who, on the other hand, remains motionless.

Agent Charles breaks free from his team and, when he attempts to shoot SCP-XXXX, the camera is destroyed by an unknown force while screams and gunshots are heard until the audio stops as well.

By the time that another team gets to the interrogation chamber, the corpses of all the members of agent Charles's team were torn apart. Body parts and organs were splattered against the walls and ceiling of the containment chamber, SCP-XXXX's body was found with several gunshot wounds, confirmed to be dead. Agent Charles, the only survivor, had lost his left arm and had several bone fractures.

When SCP-XXXX's body was examined, it appeared to have been precise cuts along the sides of his silhouette. The blood samples and DNA testing revealed that the corpse had, in fact, agent Charles's DNA, surrounded by a skin that did not entirely match the body that surrounded it.

And the agent Charles that walked out of the test chamber went missing.

On the next day, agent Charles's skin was found folded in a room at site ██ near a skinless corpse that was melt and burned beyond identification. At the time, it was assumed that the corpse was the real SCP-XXXX, since no other DNA was found on the scene and no other anomalies were reported in the security system. Also, with the exception of Andrei, Wang Li and Bruno, nothing happened with the people named by SCP-XXXX during the interrogation.

The files for SCP-XXXX were then archived.

But 6 years and 2 months later, a letter written in SCP-XXXX's calligraphy was found glued to the door of the same interrogation chamber that agent Charles's team spent 50 hours in.

The note read as…

"Dear mother.
I finally entered the O5 club.
- Love, Lucky Tom".

And we, currently, have no way to know for sure if this is true or not.
