Item #: SCP-4268
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4268 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell, with basic amenities readily available. Meals are to be provided minimally three (3) times a day. Additionally, SCP-4268 is to be provided the following items:
- One vinyl record player
- One standard home radio CD/Cassette player
- One personal computer without internet connectivity
Music media requests are to be forwarded to present senior researchers, and delivered at their discretion.
Due to its harmless nature, SCP-4268 is allowed to roam Site-██'s common areas. However, due to its appearance, staff discretion is advised, following the incident whereupon seeing SCP-4268, one female member of the staff promptly [REDACTED] everywhere.
Description: SCP-4268 is a male humanoid of Caucasian origin. The entity is 1.84 meters tall, and weighs 71 kilograms. It is fluent in the English language, albeit with a heavy Slavic accent, typical for speakers of the Serbo-Croatian language. According to it, SCP-4268 is "approximately" 61 years old, although medical scans estimate this number to be around ██. SCP-4268 claims its name is ██████.
While otherwise unremarkable, SCP-4268's entire right half is devoid of skin. On the right side of its head, parts of the skull are exposed. Both of its eyelids and lips are missing. Despite this, SCP-4268 has never complained of dryness of the eye or tongue, and the organs function like in any healthy adult human. Due to its missing lips, SCP-4268 cannot produce certain consonant sounds.
In addition, SCP-4268 is missing most of its abdominal muscles, namely the entirety of Rectus Abdominis and the inner parts of Abdominal Obliques. Its inner organs are completely exposed and may be freely accessed, although the subject expresses distress when attempts of such actions are made. Further attempts of invasive procedures are discouraged. The organs remain perfectly functional.
SCP-4268 seems to be missing reproductive organs and the anal cavity. While the reproductive organs are simply missing, the anal cavity has been replaced by stretches of various connective tissue. The area where the colon would normally connect to the rectum has been "sealed shut".
Despite the entity requiring daily intake of food, it does not express the need, nor has it been observed to expel waste of any kind from its system.
Psychologically, SCP-4268 appears to be good-natured and jovial, if slightly brash in conversations. It has expressed fondness for telling jokes. SCP-4268 also enjoys Ex-Yugoslavian rock'n'roll music. SCP-4268 is allowed to make requests for musical media. These requests are to be approved or denied at the discretion of higher ranking staff. The entity does not seem to be aware of its appearance, or of its speech impediment. When pressed on the matter, SCP-4268 becomes aggravated, but has not yet resorted to physical violence.
Later interviews reveal that SCP-4268 has vague, fleeting memories of a "past life", which include a wife and two sons. The names and likenesses of these figures are largely unknown. SCP-4268 remembers extremely little of these persons. It has managed to remember the following:
- The wife had brown hair.
- The older son had "icy blue" eyes.
- The younger son was very energetic.
Subject also has some memories of some sort of an armed conflict, later concluded to most likely be the battle of [REDACTED] which took place in 19██. SCP-4268 is unwilling to speak of this event at detail. During interviews it has stated that this conflict was "the most horrifying thing" it has ever experienced. No other details have been acquired. Continued inquiries induce a sensation of lethargy, melancholy and general depression in the subject.
Curiously, the subject appears to be severely afraid of its own reflection (see Interview I). As such, its containment area is to be cleared of reflective mirror-like surfaces to the fullest extent possible.
Interview I:
Note: Transcription altered to compensate for SCP-4268's speech impediment.
Interviewed: SCP-4268
Interviewer: Dr. ███████ Xie
<Begin Log, July 3rd, 20██, 14:04>
Dr. Xie: Good afternoon, SCP-4268, my name is —
SCP-4268: (Grimacing) Ess See Pea? What is that, some sort of product code? Please, my name is ██████. Or just █████.
Dr. Xie: Very well, ██████. My name is Dr. Xie. I'd like you to tell me a bit about yourself, if that's okay.
SCP-4268: I don't mind you asking me that, but it's a very broad question, isn't it? What do you want to know?
Dr. Xie: Let's see… Can you tell me how old you are?
SCP-4268: Hmm… eh… I'd say about 61 years old, give or take a year or two. Don't really remember, you see.
Dr. Xie: Very well. Now, could you tell me where you're from? Anything about where you grew up, what your job was, that sort of thing?
SCP-4268: Oh, uh, not much really. See, I don't actually remember where I was born, grew up, what I did… But there is something…
Dr. Xie: Something? Like a memory?
SCP-4268: A memory, yes. I suppose you could call it that.
Dr. Xie: And what is that memory?
SCP-4268: I think I had a family, doctor. It's all very hazy. Like fog on a cold October morning, you see. I had… a wife. And two boys. My wife had beautiful brown hair. And the older son, oh… (Chuckles) He had such beautiful, blue eyes. Like ice. Cold, but not angry, or unfriendly. Just… cold. And the little one, hah! Little devil! Could never stand still in one spot.
(Subject's focus drifts off. Its gaze is lost somewhere upon the table in front of it)
Dr. Xie: ██████? Is something the matter?
(Subject's focus returns. It looks up towards Dr. Xie)
SCP-4268: Oh, sorry doctor. I seem to have lost myself for a second.
Dr. Xie: That's alright. I have some other questions for you.
(Dr. Xie and SCP-4268 continue speaking about personal information. SCP-4268 has little to no recollection of past events. It mentions an armed conflict and participation in it. Subject also expresses extreme regret at being forced to participate in said conflict. At a certain point during the interview, Dr. Xie leans down to pick up her dropped pen off of the floor, at which time SCP-4268 appears to notice its reflection in the darkened window behind Dr. Xie. SCP-4268 immediately recoils in fear and starts to yell in Croatian, as translated below.)
SCP-4268: Jesus Christ, what is that? Get it away! Somebody please help! Help me!1
(SCP-4268 is escorted back to its containment cell by two members of armed personnel.)
<End Log, July 3rd, 20██, 14:12>
Closing Statement: Due to the unfortunate end of this interview, SCP-4268's room is to be cleared of any and all reflective surfaces in which it might see its reflection, to minimize risk of self-injury or injury to other personnel. — Dr. ███████ Xie
