Item #: SCP-Fives
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-Fives currently resides within the form of a biped female, who before becoming anomalous, was a D-Class employee named Bridget Bakerson. SCP-Fives is to be allowed free reign of its apartment within Site ██ and given any non-lethal items it requests. It is to be given a blank, one-hundred sheet, wide-ruled composition notebook on the first Monday of every week. In addition, SCP-Fives is to be given one D-Class no questions asked. This D-Class will live within SCP-Fives apartment for the duration of his or her non-anomalous life. On the first day of every week, all waste and excrement particles will be cleared from the apartment.
In addition, a very tight schedule is to be followed in terms of everything from feeding SCP-Fives to cycling the air from SCP-Fives apartment. If SCP-Fives doesn't receive the same exact meal at 12 and 2 every day then it will die and transfer its main consciousness over to the next body. This is to be prevented at all costs.
Any idle bodies of SCP-Fives found outside of Site ██ are to be terminated with extreme prejudice.
Addendum 2.1: (See interview 2) SCP-Fives currently resides in the form of a biped male who, before becoming anomalous, was named [DATA REDACTED] and was well known throughout the Foundation. After the incident on 11/17/19 SCP-Fives is to be, under no circumstances, spoken to or communicated with. Anyone within the Foundation who communicates with it will be subject to punishment decided by the 05 Council. Any D-Class personnel caught speaking with either SCP-Fives or the D-Class living within its apartment will be subject to immediate termination.
Description: SCP-Fives is an anomalous entity that takes control of an individual through its thoughts, then converts the individual's thoughts into the thoughts of the anomaly. This has been observed to occur after an individual observes a number '5' written by any variation of SCP-Fives, no matter how long ago it was written. It takes exactly twelve seconds for a person's consciousness to transfer control over to SCP-Fives after those twelve seconds pass it is impossible to bring back the original consciousness. It prefers to control one body at a time and often leaves its other bodies idle.
Once consciousness is transferred over to SCP-Fives it will begin rapidly writing down the number '5' anyway it can. Whether by excreting anomalous liquid from its fingertips or by cutting itself and drawing the number in blood, it will ensure it somehow draws the number. It does not prefer to damage itself by drawing the number though, instead if provided with a notebook to write its number within it will begin to act much more passive and even begin to act human.
A lax schedule has been shown to rapidly degrade SCP-Fives's host bodies. If events happen a few seconds out of order than usual then the SCP-Fives's host body will begin to rapidly age, culminating in the death of the host body and SCP-Five transferring over to one of its idle bodies.
Addendum 1.0: The first interview
Interviewed: SCP-Fives
Interviewer: Dr. Pars Lankin
Foreword: This is the first time the SCP has given consent to a recorded interview in the months it has been in Foundation custody. It is believed that previous conversations with Foundation personnel may have contributed to this change.

Dr. Pars Lankin: Good morning SCP-Five, I have a couple of questions for you.
SCP-Fives: My name is [DATA REDACTED] for god's sake. Could you please call me it?
Dr. Pars Lankin: That isn't possible SCP-Five, now please refrain from interrupting me from now on.
SCP-Fives: Yeah sure, whatever.
Dr. Pars Lankin: Good, now, do you know how you came to be anomalous?
SCP-Fives: I… I remember my mother. She had the rosiest cheeks, she was loving and caring. I remember loving her too. But after that… There's nothing. No memories, no nothing, just the urge.
Dr. Pars Lankin: Yes of course and could you please explain what the urge is? And… This may be unprofessional but I'm sorry about your mother.
SCP-Fives: Thank… Thank you. Its been a while since someone cared about me… Okay, you want me to explain… Explain the urge? Don't you see it? No, of course you don't. I'd already control you if you did. Alright, stay with me for a moment okay? Imagine your mind is a fickle thing you barely have a hold on and the only thing keeping it alive is a very specific routine that you have done as long as you remember. Are you following me?
Dr. Pars Lankin: I think so. So this routine keeps you alive?
SCP-Fives: Yes. The food you bring in at 12 and 2 every day, the oxygen routinely pumped in and of course the fives.
Dr. Pars Lankin: And what are the fives?
SCP-Fives: To be truthful Doctor Lankin, I don't know. All I know is that if I don't constantly draw fives, my body begins to degrade. And since you and your ilk have seen fit to trap me within only this body and the slave over there I have to be constantly drawing fives. Preferably on notebook paper
Dr. Pars Lankin: I'm… I'm sorry [DATA REDACTED].
SCP-Fives: It is okay Pars. I'll be okay. You are very kind. Perhaps too kind.
Dr. Pars Lankin: There is no such thing in my mind… That said, I… I have to go.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: SCP-Fives can certainly be reasoned with and seems to be human, despite the anomalous origin of his - its - current bodies. It has memories, regrets and probably feels guilt. Further research is required. - Doctor Pars Lankin.
Addendum 2.0: The incident
Interviewed: SCP-Fives
Interviewer: Dr. Pars Lankin
Foreword: The SCP never gave consent to this interview and it is therefore technically against the Ethics Committee guidelines, but the 05 Council has personally intervened on behalf of making this interview declassified for all Foundation personnel on account of the important lesson it teaches.
<Begin Log, 11/17/19]>
Dr. Pars Lankin: You're going to die.
SCP-Fives: I… What?
Dr. Pars Lankin: We can't get food to you by 2 today. A war just broke out right above this facility all food shipments have been postponed until 3. By then your routine will have been already interrupted.
SCP-Fives: I… My body may be able to survive. The slave other there is still alive after all, as long as one body is still alive I should be okay.
Dr. Pars Lankin: That D-Class… He is sick. We were ordered not to tell you. If your current body dies from the interruption from the routine so will he. Neither of your current bodies are strong enough to withstand the lack of routine.
SCP-Fives: Then… This is it. The end of the line. After all this time, all these years, this is how I die… With a whimper. My mother would be so disappointed.
Dr. Pars Lankin: They… They didn't want me to tell you. The Foundation. Something about keeping you secured. But I just couldn't. It would've been immoral. At least now you know, right?
SCP-Fives: Thank you Pars. That means a lot. You know, the Foundation talks so much about securing me, yet when push came to shove, they are rather cold. I don't feel secure in the slightest.
Dr. Pars Lankin: It isn't their fault. They can't control everything in the world. And they certainly can't control war.
SCP-Fives: Sure, they can't do that, but they can certainly control my death pretty easily.
Dr. Pars Lankin: [DATA REDACTED] it will be okay. I'll stay with you here to the end.
SCP-Fives: To be truthful Doctor Lankin, this SCP doesn't want to be with you at the end. I've been alone this long, I might as well die lonely too.
Dr. Pars Lankin: No.
SCP-Fives: It is okay Pars. I'll be okay. Go.
Dr. Pars Lankin: You aren't dying this day. Maybe tomorrow, but not today. Quick, draw a five and show it to me.
SCP-Fives: You want me to - what? I won't do that. That'll kill you.Dr. Pars Lankin: But it'll save you. If that's what it takes then I'm willing to die.
SCP-Fives: You are too kind for your own good Pars, you know that? (a scratching noise is heard on the table)
Dr. Pars Lankin: There's no such thing.
