Ross Koerner-2

Item #: SCP-9431

Anomaly Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-9431 is to be housed in a standard-sized containment cell, furnished in American-colonial style decoration. SCP-9431 has requested a map of Sub-Saharan Africa, a textbook on geography, and a photograph of Queen Elizabeth II. These were all granted. SCP-9431 was found with a typical WW1 British Lieutenant Sabre, and a standard Lee-Enfield rifle, as is common for soldiers of the United Kingdom in the early 1900's. SCP-9431 has been allowed to keep said objects, so long as the rifle is not loaded, and the sabre be kept in a sheath in a safe when personnel are in the room. Personnel are encouraged to talk with SCP-9431 for at least 45 minutes a day, as to keep SCP-9431 mentally and emotionally fit. SCP-9431 will talk about anything, but especially loves talking about history, geography, linguistics, and politics. (Note: SCP-9431 will simply take the political side opposed to the speaker to fuel discussion. He doesn't actually seem to have strong political opinions of his own. Do not take what he says personally. This means you, Dr. Sandbar.)

Description: SCP-9431 is a machine with the appearance of an early-40's caucasian male with a very pronounced British accent and a strong tan. He wears a uniform typical of an explorer from the late 1800's United Kingdom, and spectacles, though he does not appear to need them to see. SCP-9431 speaks fluent English as well as numerous native African languages, such as Xhosa and Swahili. He stands about 1.8 meters tall and weighs about 250 kilograms, despite being very athletic. SCP-9431 stated that it was because he is composed entirely of metal and circuitry. Examinations proved this to be correct.

SCP-9431 refers to himself as "Sir Montgomery of Newport, Third Viscount of the Colony of Rhodesia." (It should be noted that SCP-9431 would not have been alive when Rhodesia was a colony, and Rhodesia never had any viscounts that the historians the Foundation questioned knew about.) He answers to "SCP-9431", "Montgomery", and "Sir Montgomery". SCP-9431 is very cooperative, and will often assist researchers with whatever tasks he can. He is permitted to walk around the facility, so long as he check in with Dr.████████ before and after leaving his containment. SCP-9431 appears to be enthralled by exploration and discovery, and will sometimes end up in other areas of the facility, away from his containment at Site-████. Simply asking him to leave will cause him to politely apologize for the trouble, and make his way back to Site-████, usually arriving back with no trouble. SCP-9431 will avoid going to any part of the facility that he is told he has no clearance in.

SCP-9431 appears to be a type of hyper-advanced robot, though he is not entirely aware of his purpose, and would prefer to not talk about his mechanical structure. Interviews with SCP-9431 are most effective while engaging in some sort of activity with SCP-9431, such as cards, fencing, and hunting. SCP-9431 is an exceptional hunter, and is allowed to hunt within the outdoor site, Site-████████ within a certain perimeter and under strict supervision with cameras. SCP-9431 has in one day shot and killed 6 squirrels, 3 rabbits, 4 deer, 2 Wild boar, and 1 North American Brown Bear. He has requested meat packaging equipment to preserve the wild game. This was granted. The next day, the freezer in Site-████ was filled with packaged game and a note was left, informing the researchers to take as much or as little wild game as they please.

SCP-9431 often offers to take researchers to the recreational center, offering to teach them sports such as tennis, badminton, fencing, and shuffleboard. He is persistent but if asked to leave, or told that important work is going on, he will apologize and walk off.

Incident-9431-B
Test: SCP-9431 was asked to attend a game of tennis with SCP-082(Mr. Fernand). SCP-9431 was told to bring his gun and to not hesitate to use it in self-defense. SCP-9431 was also told to refer to SCP-082 as the King of France.

Result SCP-082 and SCP-9431 played tennis for 11 hours and 74 games, with SCP-9431 winning 43-31. SCP-082 remarked that he'd never eaten a machine before. SCP-9431 remarked that he would taste like bread pudding made by Sir Wellington. (A British General during the Napoleonic Wars.) Both subjects laughed at the remark and it was never brought up again. The next day, SCP-082 remarked that this diplomatic meeting would be "Peace between Rhodesia and France!"

Incident-9431-C
Test: SCP-9431 was photographed with SCP-978, (Desire Camera), while cleaning his rifle.

Result: Photograph showed SCP-9431 in what appears to be the depths of the Amazon Rainforest with a map and a machete. Pictured with SCP-9431 is a man looking at said map with a large backpack. He stands just over 1.3 meters tall. When questioned, SCP-9431 stated that this was his companion, "Bgingi". It is currently unknown who Bgingi is or where he's located.
