Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-17.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid entity capable of altering its physical form at will. It is not capable of shapeshifting into non-human forms, nor is there a limit in the number of human forms it can take or the amount of times it can alter its form. SCP-XXXX reports no adverse effects from utilising its anomalous ability.

Addendum.XXXX.1:

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr Raymond Shields

Foreword: Interview conducted upon SCP-XXXX's arrival at Site-17.

<Begin Log>

Dr Shields: So, you can shapeshift?

SCP-XXXX: Yes. I don’t, though. It’s inconvenient.

Dr Shields: Inconvenient for you?

SCP-XXXX: Inconvenient for my family, mostly. Easy enough to pass off small changes but why bother?

Dr Shields: Does your family know about your anomalous abilities?

SCP-XXXX: Maybe they noticed, but I never told them. My kids would tell people; I don’t want everybody knowing.

Dr Shields: I wanted to ask about your family, specifically about your eldest daughter Phoebe. Is that something you would be willing to talk about?

SCP-XXXX: Sure.

Dr Shields: Did you ever hurt her?

SCP-XXXX: No. I only ever did what was best for her and the other kids.

Dr Shields: She appears to be saying otherwise. Did you maybe harm her unintentionally, by being overprotective or something of the like?

SCP-XXXX: She would say that; she lies, all the time, and claims she never does. I never hurt her, or her siblings.

Dr Shields: Does it hurt you when Phoebe lies like that, or when she steps out of line in other ways?

SCP-XXXX: I only ever did what was best for her. I wanted her to fit in with everybody else. Didn’t want her feeling like an alien.

[11 second pause]

Dr Shields: You said before that it was easy enough to pass off small changes in your appearance as non-anomalous. Did you ever… make small changes in your appearance, since having a family?

SCP-XXXX: Not around them. Sometimes if I went out with my friends. I did it a lot when I was a kid.

Dr Shields: You’re absolutely sure that you never utilised your anomalous ability around your family?

SCP-XXXX: Yes. I would remember if I had.

[3 second pause]

Dr Shields: Bluntly, did you ever utilise your anomalous ability specifically to harm your daughter?

[3 second pause]

SCP-XXXX: No.

[7 second pause]

Dr Shields: Are you sure?

Addendum.XXXX.2:

Interviewed: Phoebe Adams

Interviewer: Dr Landon Fairburn

Foreword: Interview conducted at Site-19 on request of the Site-17 Research Department. Adams sits upright, but appears nervous. Rs Samantha Hawcett, who Adams requested act as her chaperone for the duration of the interview, is also present.

<Begin Log>

Dr Fairburn: So, before we begin, you don’t have to answer the questions, but I would appreciate it if you could answer honestly.

Adams: Yeah, of course.

Dr Fairburn: Okay. To start, do you know why you’re here?

Adams: My mother is an alien.

[2 second pause. Dr Fairburn organises his papers.]

Dr Fairburn: It was, er, presumed you didn’t know that.

Adams: I know a lot of things. I don’t rat on anybody though.

Dr Fairburn: So you never told anybody?

Adams: Of course not. Why would I do that?

Dr Fairburn: Oka-

Adams: It’s not like I’ll remember in the end anyway.

[Rs Hawcett looks up.]

Dr Fairburn: Okay, moving on. How did you discover that your mother is an anomaly?

Adams: I don’t remember.

Dr Fairburn: Genuinely? Or are you just declining to comment?

Adams: Genuinely. I don’t remember. Sorry.

Dr Fairburn: How long have you known about your mother’s anomalous abilities, do you think?

[2 second pause.]

Adams: I seriously don’t know, sorry. I don’t remember a lot of things that happened, can’t place them neither.

[5 second pause.]

Dr Fairburn: How much of your memory is missing? Do you think it could be caused by your mother's anomalous effect?

Adams: A lot. I only really remember a couple minutes of each year. Flashbacks, really.

[2 second pause.]

Adams: All of it soon.

[Dr Fairburn glances at Rs Hawcett.]

Rs Hawcett: Don’t look at me, I didn’t do anything.

Adams: Not yet.

Rs Hawcett: Retract that statement.

Adams: No.

[Rs Hawcett shifts uncomfortably in her seat.]

Dr Fairburn: I feel I have started something, apologies. I'll reiterate my previous question; do you think your memory loss was a result of your mother's anomalous effect?

Adams: Some of it, a lot of it I suppose, was her fault, but I don't think it was because of her shapeshifting thing or whatever. People are just arseholes sometimes.

[3 second pause. Dr Fairburn writes something on his notes.]

Dr Fairburn: We only really have one more question. Did your mother ever harm you?

Adams: Yes.

Dr Fairburn: Are you willing to provide detail on that?

Adams: No, not really. She hurt me in lots of ways though, and never seemed to notice or care that that was what she was doing. Sometimes, I suddenly remember things she did to me a long time ago but I don't even know if they're real.

Dr Fairburn: Did she ever use her anomalous abilities to hurt you? If you remember?

Adams: I don’t remember. I don’t think so though, I probably would’ve noticed.

Dr Fairburn: We, er, have evidence to believe your mother utilised her anomalous ability to stalk you. She all but confessed to it too.

[3 second pause.]

Adams: What?

[Dr Fairburn presents Adams with a photo.1]

[3 second pause. Adams hunches over in her seat and balls her hands into fists.]

Adams: FUCK!
