SCP: A TRUE ANOMALY

SCP-9743 wandered through Floor 3, in search of interesting things from his view. After a big while of being completely lost, he entered a room, and behind, suddenly saw a gate's door.

SCP-9743 wondered why a gate was there, but using the Level 3 Keycard, he entered and found in the other side, SCP-914. He got amazed by the view of SCP-914 and size. He looked at it, intrigued, but didn't knew how it work, so he observed it, and the five words it had, 'Rough', 'Coarse', '1:1', 'Fine', and 'Very fine'.

SCP-9743, without any idea, he placed it to very fine, and though for what would be the machine, as why the settings, and for what would be. After a search around, he didn't found anything around, so he got an idea. He dropped a little bone in the left, and then was going to do the same in the right, but before he could reach to do so, SCP-914 started working.

SCP-9743 struggled to know what was going on, but yet, he decided to wait. After short time, SCP-914 finished, and SCP-9743 saw the bone different, it was purple and sharp, and when tried to grab it, the smallest contact made the bone explode. After being pushed, SCP-9743 got up, and observed... No damage, but yet, a good explosion to push away.

SCP-914 turned the bone's magic into a volatile mine, that instead of dealing damage, only pushes away everyone in the explosion.

By seeing what happened, SCP-9743 decided to try with the Level 3 Keycard. After changing the settings to 'Fine' to try a little less higher settings, he then placed the Level 3 Keycard inside the left chamber of SCP-914. After SCP-914 finished, SCP-9743 saw in the right chamber a Level 5 Keycard.

SCP-9743 didn't know for what the number, so though it was better only for having higher number than before, so he decided to not risk and saved it, and left SCP-914's containment chamber.

After a long way of wandering around, he found big gate with two doors together, the Gate for the next floor, Floor 2. Once he took the elevator to Floor 2, he continued exploring around, wondering everything he was seeing, and still completely lost.

After another way tedious lost walk, and entering lot of rooms for nothing but hallways and more walk, he started to be more and more annoyed, until suddenly, he saw a caution sign of some sort. He was curious, as the sign was telling caution about a Keter SCP, and then mentioning SCP-035. Without any idea, SCP-9743 entered inside SCP-035's chamber, thinking it could be useful.

Once inside, a bone shattered the glass to enter the real chamber where the mask was being hold, and then, SCP-9743 jumped to go inside, but for him, there was nothing.

He looked around, struggling to understand why so much security for a simple ceramic mask, obviously, not knowing anything about SCP-035. SCP-9743 stared at the mask, and where it was.

After a look, SCP-9743 noticed the top of the glass of the glass box the mask was residing, was possible to be moved. And so, without thinking, he moved the top of the glass box, and took the mask, but after looking at it, SCP-9743's expression went from one of intrigue and curiosity, to a one of disappointment.

SCP-9743: "A... Mask... All this security for a ceramic mask... A reinforced room, with it's own windows, to a bigger room... Ugh, humans... Seriously... Such a waste of resources for a simple mask..."

SCP-035 seems almost studying SCP-9743, until SCP-9743 grabs SCP-035. SCP-035 suddenly opens its mouth and grins at SCP-9743.

SCP-035: "Well, well, look who finally decided to show up~"

SCP-9743, confused, looks around, but not finding anyone.

SCP-9743: "What?... Where are you?"

SCP-035: "Didn't you hear about me, darling?~ Do you really don't know?~"

SCP-9743: "Yeah, I have no idea where you are. Are you crawling up of me?"

SCP-035 is enjoying and amused by SCP-9743 way of acting, while talks and looks around, trying to find SCP-035, without knowing, is holding SCP-035 all this time in his right hand.

After some chat, where SCP-035 keeps enjoying itself with the try of SCP-9743 in finding SCP-035, and in also making SCP-9743 blush by how much time SCP-035 is calling SCP-9743 by 'Darling', 'Sweetheart', and by the tone it uses.

For SCP-9743, SCP-035 is flirting constantly, what makes SCP-035 enjoy more by this interaction and how SCP-9743 reacts to those words as fluttered and nervous.

After some talk, SCP-9743 tells about how was his day to SCP-035, explaining by his way and words, the interaction it had with other SCPs, the fight and having to kill SCP-682, SCP-076-2, and SCP-343, but he doesn't know that SCP-682 remained alive, but knew that SCP-343 was dead, while SCP-076-2 was alive by how many time SCP-9743 saw SCP-076-2 revive.

SCP-9743 even told to SCP-035 about being the true god of hyperdeath, and about his line of 'It's kill or be killed'.

With each thing SCP-9743 was telling to SCP-035, SCP-035 was more impressed and interested in SCP-9743.

SCP-9743: "So, that. It was very deserved, honestly. They forced me to meet strange stuff, people, and fight and kill for protect myself. And even after that... It seem like... I didn't gain to deserve even a slice of pizza!"

SCP-035: "You... You kind of have a fair point there, darling, I'll give you that..."

SCP-9743: "Can you stop flirting with me?"

SCP-035: "Flirting? You're quite cocky to assume I was flirting with you. You're not exactly my type, sweetie."

SCP-9743: "Well, whatever... I like your way of be, honestly. But please, stop flattering me, it makes me feel weird."

SCP-035: "Oh, trust me, darling, complimenting you is the last thing that's happening right now. I'm simply stating how fascinating you are."

SCP-9743: "Well... Anyway. What can you do?"

SCP-035: "Ah, of course you want to know my abilities... Well, I'm a very skilled manipulator. Quite a talented actor too. I also have influence to some degree. In addition, I... I can possess people."

SCP-9743: "... Of course... With how much you flattered me... Quite obvious you're very skilled to manipulate, and acting on the paper. But... Possess people? I wonder... I'm more like a ghost possessing this corpse. Will your possession disable my own, or I will unable you from possessing me?"

SCP-035: "Oh, it'll surpass your own, darling. I can possess *any* being, physical or spiritual. Even if your own possessional abilities are strong, mine are stronger. I can take control if I please, it's as simple as that. I can possess you."

SCP-9743: "Alright, bet. But if I'm being honest, I'm tired and need a break... Wanna change turns?"

SCP-035: "Change turns? You... You want me to take control for a bit?"

SCP-9743: "For me, yes please. I'm so tired and exhausted of everything... I just want to be died, and yet, I can't... I just need a break..."

SCP-035: "Hah... You sound like you've really struggled. I'd be happy to take control for a bit, darling. You can rest, let me take over..."

SCP-035's voice sounds a mix of eager and excited, along with having notes of... Sympathy?

SCP-9743 placed the mask, but after a moment, he asked SCP-035 if it's possession was working, so SCP-035 asked SCP-9743 to move and do some movements with his hands to check. SCP-9743 remained in own possession of himself, and SCP-035 seemed unable to possess SCP-9743.

SCP-9743: "Uhm... I raised my hands. I don't know if this is a test to see if is working or not, but... Are you sure you're possessing me?"

SCP-035: "Of course, darling, it just requires time."

SCP-9743: "Alright, if you say so. You're the ceramic mask, not me."

SCP-9743 waited for a short moment. SCP-035 was surprisingly nervous, as it was unable to possess SCP-9743, but didn't let SCP-9743 know about it.

SCP-9743: "Alright, I don't like waiting anymore. Let's head out of here."

SCP-035: "Wait... What? Where are you going, darling?"

SCP-9743: "Continue shopping, babe, obviously~ Daddy wants a new pair of things with abilities and powers~"

SCP-9743 was now mocking SCP-035, and it was amusing for both. Both seemed to have from the beginning, a strange chemical way with each other, as both get along very well, as are also very similar in personality.

Incident Report: SCP-9743's Interaction with SCP-914 and SCP-035

Compiled by: Dr. Alexander Grimm and Dr. Sophia Adler

Date: 03/16/2022

Overview of the Incident

Following the "Pizza Day Containment Breach," SCP-9743 wandered the facility, demonstrating a high degree of autonomy and disregard for containment. During this breach, SCP-9743 made significant interactions with two anomalies: SCP-914 and SCP-035. These interactions revealed both SCP-9743's ingenuity and its dangerous adaptability in manipulating anomalies for its own benefit.

Timeline of Events 1. Discovery of SCP-914

Wandering the Facility: SCP-9743 explored Floor 3 aimlessly, displaying a lack of familiarity with the site's layout. Upon stumbling across the entrance to SCP-914's containment, SCP-9743 used its Level 3 Keycard, obtained during the previous breach, to access the anomaly.

Interaction with SCP-914:

Upon observing the machine's imposing size and settings ("Rough," "Coarse," "1:1," "Fine," and "Very Fine"), SCP-9743 demonstrated curiosity but lacked understanding of its purpose. SCP-9743 placed a bone shard in SCP-914, setting it to "Very Fine." The machine processed the input and produced a volatile bone, imbued with magical energy that exploded upon touch. The explosion did not cause damage but created a forceful shockwave that pushed SCP-9743 back. Intrigued by the result, SCP-9743 then tested a Level 3 Keycard on the "Fine" setting. The resulting output was a Level 5 Keycard, which SCP-9743 interpreted as an upgrade without fully understanding the implications.

Analysis of SCP-914 Interaction:

SCP-9743's experimentation with SCP-914 highlights its ability to quickly grasp the utility of anomalies and adapt them for personal use. The upgraded Level 5 Keycard granted SCP-9743 access to higher-security areas, escalating the severity of the breach.

2. Encounter with SCP-035

Initial Discovery: SCP-9743 wandered to Floor 2, eventually encountering the containment chamber for SCP-035. Observing the heightened security and caution signage, SCP-9743 assumed SCP-035 held value and breached its containment by shattering the protective glass.

Interaction with SCP-035:

SCP-9743 initially dismissed SCP-035 as "just a ceramic mask," expressing disappointment and skepticism regarding the resources allocated to its containment. Upon handling SCP-035, the mask initiated communication. SCP-035's manipulative and flirtatious personality clashed humorously with SCP-9743's blunt demeanor, creating a dynamic exchange. SCP-035 attempted to seduce and flatter SCP-9743, referring to it as "darling" and "sweetheart," much to SCP-9743's embarrassment.

Revelation of Anomalous Abilities:

SCP-035 described its abilities to manipulate, influence, and possess individuals. SCP-9743, intrigued but skeptical, invited SCP-035 to attempt possession. Despite SCP-035's assurances, it failed to possess SCP-9743, likely due to SCP-9743's unique nature as a ghost inhabiting a corpse. SCP-035 concealed its failure, attempting to maintain its usual confidence.

Dynamic Chemistry:

The interaction between SCP-9743 and SCP-035 revealed surprising compatibility. Both entities shared a mischievous, sarcastic disposition and seemed to enjoy toying with one another. SCP-9743 even mocked SCP-035's flirtatious behavior, referring to itself as "daddy" and adopting SCP-035's playful tone.

Departure from SCP-035's Containment:

SCP-9743 placed SCP-035 on its face momentarily, but upon confirming that SCP-035 could not take control, removed it and retained possession of the mask. Declaring its intention to continue "shopping," SCP-9743 left SCP-035's containment chamber, taking the anomaly with it.

Analysis of SCP-9743's Behavior and Capabilities

1. Curiosity and Adaptability

SCP-9743's exploration of SCP-914 and SCP-035 demonstrates a natural curiosity and a strong inclination toward experimentation. Its ability to deduce the functionality of SCP-914 and exploit its properties for personal gain underscores its resourcefulness and opportunistic tendencies.

2. Resistance to Anomalous Influence

SCP-9743's inability to be possessed by SCP-035 highlights its inherent resistance to external control. This immunity likely stems from its status as a ghost inhabiting a corpse, raising questions about its metaphysical composition.

3. Complex Interpersonal Dynamics

SCP-9743's interaction with SCP-035 revealed a rare instance of camaraderie, albeit laced with sarcasm and mockery. Despite its usual disdain for humanity and anomalies, SCP-9743 appeared to enjoy its exchange with SCP-035, suggesting the potential for alliances with like-minded entities.

4. Escalating Threat

SCP-9743's acquisition of a Level 5 Keycard and SCP-035 significantly increases its ability to bypass containment measures and access restricted areas. Combined with its existing abilities, this makes SCP-9743 an even greater security risk.

Potential Containment Risks and Recommendations

1. Restriction of SCP-914 Access

SCP-914 must be secured with additional safeguards to prevent unauthorized access. Biometric locks and reality anchors should be implemented to prevent SCP-9743 or other entities from exploiting its capabilities.

2. Recovery of SCP-035

SCP-035 must be retrieved from SCP-9743 to prevent further collaboration or exploitation. Its manipulative nature could potentially amplify SCP-9743's psychological warfare.

3. Enhanced Surveillance and Containment Protocols

SCP-9743's ability to adapt and manipulate anomalies necessitates stricter monitoring. Advanced tracking systems and personnel dedicated to real-time surveillance are essential to prevent further breaches.

4. Psychological Profiling and Engagement

SCP-9743's apparent camaraderie with SCP-035 suggests a preference for entities that share its sense of humor and worldview. Psychological engagement strategies should consider this dynamic to foster controlled interactions.

Final Analysis

SCP-9743's interactions with SCP-914 and SCP-035 showcase its resourcefulness, adaptability, and potential for collaboration with similarly mischievous entities. However, these interactions also highlight the escalating threat it poses, particularly with its newfound access to high-security areas and its possession of SCP-035. Immediate containment and retrieval measures are critical to mitigate the risks posed by SCP-9743's growing arsenal.
