SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell. SCP-XXXX’s cell should only include essential items. By its own request, SCP-XXXX is not to be granted additional amnesties such as books. SCP-XXXX will regularly fall into a coma-like state (See Incident XXXX-1). SCP-XXXX will enter this state an average of 4 times a day, and remain there for an average of 2 hours before it naturally awakens. This is considered normal, and it should be considered abnormal if SCP-XXXX goes 2 days without falling into this coma-like state. In the event of a coma lasting longer than 3 hours, medical personnel are to enter the cell and connect SCP-XXXX to life support until it wakes up. SCP-XXXX is to be guarded by no less than 2 personnel until it awakes and the medical equipment can be removed from its cell.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a Caucasian human male who appears to be in his mid-twenties. SCP-XXXX is not affected by any effect that alters mental functions. This includes chemical alteration, such as the application of amnestics, as well cognitohazardous effects. Additionally, SCP-XXXX claims to be immortal (See Interview Log XXXX-1) and does not appear to have aged since coming into Foundation custody.
SCP-XXXX was discovered at the same time as SCP-████. SCP-XXXX was among the civilian population who was present at the scene. Agent █████ was in charge of administering amnestics to these civilians, and reported SCP-XXXX as a possible anomaly when it showed incredible resistance to the treatment. SCP-XXXX was taken into Foundation custody and officially declared an anamoly after testing with minor cognitohazards also proved ineffective.

+ Interview XXXX-1

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. Powell
Note: SCP-XXXX was interviewed shortly after containment
<Begin Log>
Dr. Powell: Good morning, SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: Morning.
Dr. Powell: Today, I’d like to ask you how you came to be so tolerant of mental interference.
SCP-XXXX: Not tolerant, doctor. Immune. As for your question, all I can say is that these powers were given to me by a goddess.
Dr. Powell: (making notes) I see. And which “goddess” would you be referring to.
SCP-XXXX: She would rather remain anonymous.
Dr. Powell: Well, I would rather know who she is.
SCP-XXXX: Trust me, I would love to tell you, but I can’t. She’s always watching, you know.
Dr. Powell: Hm. I suppose that’s fine for now. Next question, for what purpose did this goddess give you your power?
SCP-XXXX: So that I could better serve her in all things.
Dr. Powell: Such as?
SCP-XXXX: I’m afraid that’s classified.
Dr. Powell: Alright. Final question, you said to serve “in all things.” If this goddess is immortal, does that mean that you are as well?
SCP-XXXX: Correct, this was also part of her gift
Dr. Powell: I see. That will be all for today, but we will continue this another time.
SCP-XXXX: I look forward to it.
<End Log>

Incident XXXX-1: On █/██/2016, the facility containing SCP-XXXX was attacked by an anomalously large owl. This owl proved incredibly aggressive and resilient to attack, and a code red situation was declared. After 2 hours of concentrated attack, the owl suddenly shrunk to non-anomalous size and became docile. In the aftermath, SCP-XXXX was discovered to be in a coma-like state. Security footage revealed SCP-XXXX fell into this state approximately 10 minutes after the owl began attacking. SCP-XXXX was taken to the medical wing, where EEG scans of its brain revealed a significant increase in brain activity. Brain activity returned to normal levels approximately 30 minutes after scanning started, with SCP-XXXX awakening shortly afterwards.

+ Interview XXXX-2

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. Powell
Note: This interview was conducted 30 minutes after SCP-XXXX awakened from Incident XXXX-1
<Begin Log>
Dr. Powell: Hello SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: Doctor.
Dr. Powell: I’ll cut to the chase. What the hell is going on with you?
SCP-XXXX: I…can’t say.
Dr. Powell: Look, we need to know what’s going on. More importantly, we need to know if this is connected with that big ass bird that attacked right as you went into a coma.
SCP-XXXX: (surprised) A large bird, you say. What kind?
Dr, Powell: An owl, why do you ask?
SCP-XXXX: I see. (SCP-XXXX falls silent for a moment). Doctor, did I ever tell you what I did before all of this?
Dr. Powell: (confused) No, why?
SCP-XXXX: I was a teacher before, at an elementary school. The kids always struggled with their multiplication tables. One of the most common mistakes was thinking that 23 divided 7.
Dr. Powell: That’s nice, but what does it have to do with anything we were talking about.
SCP-XXXX: Nothing, I suppose. Just got unexpectedly nostalgic for those days. (SCP-XXXX sighs) Good old 2307-
(Upon saying this SCP-XXXX fell back into its coma-like state)
Dr. Powell: Hmm. End interview.
<End Log>

Requesting permission for cross testing of SCP-2307 with SCP-XXXX -Dr. Powell
Approved -O5-2

Experiment Log XXXX-2307

Hypothesis: SCP-XXXX will not fall into its coma-like state while wearing SCP-2307-2.

Experiment: Discuss topics “forbidden” to SCP-XXXX while wearing SCP-2307-2.

Result: SCP-XXXX became able to discuss “forbidden” topics. Special Containment Procedures updated as a result.

+ Transcription of conversation

Dr. Powell: Now that you’re wearing the crown, can you tell me the name of your goddess?
SCP-XXXX: Athena. (SCP-XXXX glances around for a moment, but does not fall into a coma) Well, at least it’s working.
Dr. Powell: Yes, which leads to my second question. How did you know about SCP-2307?
SCP-XXXX: The answer is also Athena. She gave me information about all of your SCPs that might help me to escape from here.
Dr. Powell: Escape?
SCP-XXXX: Yes. She isn’t happy that her best servant is currently locked up.
Dr. Powell: I certainly hope you haven’t just admitted to attempting escape, SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: I’m the farthest thing you can get from an idiot, doctor. No, I bring this up because it relates to my comas. I am a very peaceful person by nature As I said, I was originally a teacher. However, Athena decided that I should be her servant, and that involves a lot of fighting.
Dr. Powell: Ah, I see.
SCP-XXXX: Yes. Long story short, I have no intention of trying to escape.
Dr. Powell: But where do the comas fit into all of this?
SCP-XXXX: For a third time, I must say Athena. The comas are her attempt to erase my memories of my previous life. Specifically, they are me fighting to stop her.
Dr. Powell: And have you been successful?
SCP-XXXX: Mostly, although I fear her victory is inevitable. Even now, I have several small holes in my early memories. And when she succeeds, I will fundamentally change.
Dr. Powell: And if this change occurs, you will become the servant she wants?
SCP-XXXX: Yes, and at that point I will stop at nothing to escape. Which brings me to my request.
Dr. Powell: Request?
SCP-XXXX: Yes. I think it’s very humane that you allow human subjects access to leisure activities. But I must ask that you restrict them all from me.
Dr. Powell: Are you sure about that? Wouldn’t you want to wait until it was necessary?
SCP-XXXX: I have no idea how much longer I will be myself. Best not to take chances.
Dr. Powell: I can understand that. I believe that’s all I needed to know. Thank you.
SCP-XXXX: Just in case this is the last time we see each other, I want to say that it’s been a pleasure speaking with you.

Note: Upon removing SCP-2307-2 at the end of the interview, SCP-XXXX fell into its coma state, and did not awaken for 12 hours.
