Interview Log XXXX-1:

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-A

Interviewer: Dr. Lehmer

Foreword: SCP-XXXX-A is a worker at Numbford's who has been isolated within a break room within the factory. They appear to have average intelligence, however their dependence on SCP-XXXX-1 appears relatively low, which has allowed them to be interviewed for short periods.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Lehmer: Hello there, I’m here to ask you a few questions.

SCP-XXXX-A: Oh, well could you make it quick; my break is going to end soon.

Dr. Lehmer: Of course. For starters, what are you making here at the factory.

SCP-XXXX-A: Oh, we don’t make it. We ship it. The best damn thing you’ve ever seen, or tasted I guess.

Dr. Lehmer: You’re referring to the jam?

SCP-XXXX-A: Yeah, there’s nothing like it. Everything tastes like ash in comparison to it, seriously, you’ve never had it?

Dr. Lehmer: I’m not one for jam.

SCP-XXXX-A: This isn’t jam like you’ve ever tasted before man! It’s incredible! You know what, how about this, in my next delivery I’ll ask if I can get you some.

Dr. Lehmer: Ask who? And no, I really don’t want any.

SCP-XXXX-A: My boss. Really I insist.

Dr. Lehmer: I’m fine, may we please continue with the questions?

[A ringing is heard in the background]

SCP-XXXX-A: Shit, that’s the end of my break. I’ve got to go.

Dr. Lehmer: You’re fine. Sorry for holding you for so long.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-A was released back into Numbford’s. It is believed that SCP-XXXX-1 did request an extra jar for Dr. Lehmer.

Interview Log XXXX-2:

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-A

Interviewer: Dr. Lehmer

Foreword: SCP-XXXX-A appealed for another interview during their break. The Foundation complied in order to increase understanding of SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Lehmer: Ready for another interview?

SCP-XXXX-A: Yep.

Dr. Lehmer: Excellent. So the conditions in this factory, what are they like?

SCP-XXXX-A: Well, uh… it's…

[SCP-XXXX-A turns towards the break room door and then back at Dr. Lehmer]

SCP-XXXX-A: It's alright. The jam is really good! I still can't believe that you haven't tried any.

Dr. Lehmer: This conversation is completely private… would you like to re-answer the question?

SCP-XXXX-A: I… It's not…

Dr. Lehmer: It's not what?

[SCP-XXXX-A gestures towards their ears and then covers their mouth with their pointer finger]

[A ringing is heard in the background]

Dr. Lehmer: Well, thank you for your time.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: It is unknown whether SCP-XXXX-A implied the Foundation or SCP-XXXX. Regardless, SCP-XXXX is currently in no known power over SCP-XXXX-A and there is no reason that interviews cannot continue.

Interview Log XXXX-3:

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-A

Interviewer: Dr. Lehmer

Foreword: SCP-XXXX-A appealed for yet another interview to Team YYYY. The urgency of their request seemed to indicate an unapparent danger. SCP-XXXX-A appears to have lost a substantial amount of weight and has sustained several bruises and scratches on what skin is visible.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Lehmer: You requested an interview?

SCP-XXXX-A: Oh, I just wanted to talk!

Dr. Lehmer: I see. Is there anything that's on your mind?

SCP-XXXX-A: Nope, just… was wondering a few things.

Dr. Lehmer: Like what?

SCP-XXXX-A: Like… relocation.

Dr. Lehmer: I may be able to discuss the possibility with one of my superiors.

SCP-XXXX-A: When would I leave?

Dr. Lehmer: Well, I would have to request your relocation first, which could take anywhere from two days to-

[SCP-XXXX-A shakes their head and mouths the phrase "No, now, now"]

Dr. Lehmer: Like I've said; relocation can only take place after a multitude of-

SCP-XXXX-A: I have to go! They are going to kill me! Please, take me!

[A ringing is heard in the background and the break room is filled with approximately 16 individuals affected by SCP-XXXX-1]

Dr. Lehmer: I think that concludes our-

[A rumbling sound is heard in the audio and an empty jam jar is thrown at SCP-XXXX-A from an unidentifiable source which shatters on impact]

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Although suspected, violence from affected individuals will change the Foundation's ability to test and contain SCP-XXXX. A more effective method of containment is being researched.

Addendum-XXXX-1: SCP-XXXX was observed retracting itself from Numbford’s Jams, Jellies and Preserves. Those residing within have been observed in advanced stages of grief and starvation.
