Voice Testing - OC based on the world of SCP

[too_redacted_toscience]

Excuse me but, though it's my first week here, even I know this is going to get me in trouble. They requested me as soon as I graduated and all, but nothing is going to save me if they find out I'm writing about any of this where people can read it!

I suppose you're right though, that I need to test myself out before I get thrown into the mix. Specially since I want to make the best impression with Dr. ███████.

He... didn't look to happy to see me.

Comments

Gosh all the new SCP people make me want to get into the mix XD

[tinfoil_angel]

Honestly I wouldn't trust them if I were you.

[too_redacted_toscience]

There's a lot of things not to trust, but... what are you talking about, exactly? And who are you?

[tinfoil_angel]

Probably all the things you have in mind. The potential to be demoted and pretty much become the crash-test dummy for all the dangerous or unknown SCPs, The potential to die anyway because their security isn't worth a damn and they piss off pretty much every intelligent SCP they come into contact with. And if you're not so jaded, the immoral practices they have.

[He sighs deciding to digress there.]

My name is Karl. The only reason I know about this all is due to the fact that my mundane knows about this.

[too_redacted_toscience]

But... SCP has some of the best security in the world. Well, as good as you can make security for the kind of things they do. I've... been hearing a lot of things and the crash course I had in emergencies was, ah, terrifying, but this is the cutting edge of science and research here while protecting people.

They do their best but they have to protect people, Karl.

[Definitely a wee bit concerned that this person might be an SCP himself to know all this.]

[tinfoil_angel]

That is the excuse they give but I want you to look at something before you make that decision about them.

[He showed the man a file]

Read that and tell me you don't see anything wrong.

[too_redacted_toscience]

[He's heard about these during his initiation, but still, reading it is hard.]

And what would you do, sir, to protect people from something like SCP-239? Tell me that.

[tinfoil_angel]

Teach her not to become a risk, she is human like anyone else and if she understands she is not supposed to hurt people she won't. After all you can trust a person with a gun not to unload it into your head.

Just because someone has a tool to kill you does not mean they will. You will notice in that file a stark lack of anyone coming to actual harm.

[too_redacted_toscience]

I would disagree, Karl. How many people were killed just after she was born because she, somehow, decided to blow up the hospital she was born in?

Clearly, they tried to teach her. They tried for all those years to make it work, or how do you believe she got to be the age she did before more precautions were taken?

[tinfoil_angel]

Because she was a baby and had no control of her powers. I don't think you can blame a child for being born with more power than they could handle at the time.

Is there a single report of death after she grew to age?

[too_redacted_toscience]

We don't work on the 'when it happens', sir. We work on preventing it from happening to begin with.

[tinfoil_angel]

So are you saying an 8-year-old child would shoot you in the head if you gave them a gun?

[too_redacted_toscience]

I'm saying that an 8-year old child might, just as you wouldn't hand them a loaded weapon - might I point out how many children are killed each year because they find a loaded gun?

[tinfoil_angel]

Yes but this "gun" only fires deliberately. She would have to think "I want him to die" for her to kill you.

[too_redacted_toscience]

Any 'gun' only fires deliberately - we never fully know the mindset of the person holding the weapon. She could think an endless amount of things to 'kill' me as it were.

While I might not fully agree with what they chose to do, there was a reason and it's not my place yet to say otherwise.

[tinfoil_angel]

I would imagine the children that die from an actual gun more often than not were not told of the dangers of playing with the weaponry.

Give me one specific example of something she could think that would result in your death without her meaning to kill you?

[too_redacted_toscience]

[Ticking off on his fingers.]

She could wish the room was filled with water. Or that there was no air. Or we were on the moon. Or that I appeared in the heart of a volcano. Or any number of the other SCP came free. Or that she wanted to see what my heart looked like. Or that my blood suddenly became caramel-- would you like me to continue?

[tinfoil_angel]

She also made Santa exist so wouldn't you suppose that would also make the situation survivable because she perceived it to be survivable?

Even the Doctor who attempted to order her death was worried he would be perceived as a "good person" and thus would change his actions.

[too_redacted_toscience]

[Makes a small cutting gesture with his hand.]

I'm done with this conversation. It isn't my place to question why they made their choices but I know they were for a reason. These people want to protect humanity.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. [Tiny sad smile knowing it's painfully true in this case, as well as showing he might be more than just a science-geek.]

[tinfoil_angel]

[He sighed.]

Alright just take care of yourself, and don't just blindly trust your superiors. Bad men can find their way into any profession.

[too_redacted_toscience]

...These are good people trying to do what they can against things we were never meant to handle. Just keep that in mind.

[tinfoil_angel]

Some of them are but not everyone.

I suppose even if you had distaste at this point leaving isn't an option.

[too_redacted_toscience]

From what I can tell? No, it isn't. I'm going to do all I can to protect people, Karl. That's why I joined.

[tinfoil_angel]

Then at least one of the people in that establishment is trying to. Just be wary, some of your colleagues are chosen BECAUSE they are sociopaths.

oh hi

[239]

Some doctors are grumpy.

[too_redacted_toscience]

[Even if he hadn't just been reading her file, he would have known something was off as soon as he looked into her eyes.

But he knows who this is fairly instantly.] ...T-Two thirty nine...

[239]

I have a name, you know.

[ You're making the probably-10-years-old sad now. ]

[too_redacted_toscience]

I'm sorry, I'm new here. [He pushes his glasses up, swallowing. This is first interaction with an intelligent SCP.] Would you prefer I call you Sigurros?

[He can remember that some SCP aren't allowed to be called by their real name and some are (most aren't) and he's sure this is about to go downhill fast for his record.]

[239]

Oh. Yes, that's my name. [ Just as easily as she was upset up comes the smile.

And don't worry dude, everyone is too scared to be deleted out of existence if they don't call her by her name. Not that Sigurrós would actually do that. ]

New how?

[too_redacted_toscience]

[He thought she was in a coma, how is he seeing her?! That just sends a whole new serious of 'something is wrong' through his mind.]

New as in initiation was a week ago. [Growing some balls, he tries-] Aren't you supposed to be in you room? They'll be concerned that you're gone.

[239]

[ Mentions of "her room" pretty much kill her mood, maybe for good this time. ]

I don't want to go to sleep again.

[ Never mind she can explain how she's here, "here" being some fancy place her mun put her, but lol little girls. ]

[too_redacted_toscience]

I'm not so sure you should have been put to sleep. [What Karl said is true, after all. There's no report about 239 having done any damage to anyone since the accident at her birth, so why was she put to sleep?]

I'd rather we be friends. [He's too new to be lying outright. He doesn't have that fear of knowledge of what some SCP can do - yet. He's still... innocent.]

y halo thar

[faraswecanlead]

Don't worry about that. There are worse problems.

And in any case, most of them wouldn't believe it anyway.

Allo!

[too_redacted_toscience]

I barely believe it, miss...? [Unsure of to whom he is speaking.]

[faraswecanlead]

Junior Researcher Kuttner. You wouldn't have met me. I don't get out much.

[too_redacted_toscience]

It's a pleasure to meet you. I only just started this week, so I haven't met much of anyone yet. Where are you currently assigned?

[faraswecanlead]

It's... nice to meet you, too.

Site 17, most recently. Though I will probably be receiving a reassignment notice soon.

More SCP players! :D

[o5_12]

[Hi, have your boss being chill about this. He rolls his eyes, even, sighing.] Relax. We can't terminate you for being grabbed a mun when even we can't stop it.

We do exist! XD

[too_redacted_toscience]

S-Sir! [Stands even a bit more upright, looking a touch guilty and a lot surprised until he hears 'We can't terminate you'.] Is... this a known phenomenon, then?

[He doesn't want to be on record for researcher busted down to D-Class in the shortest amount of time in SCP history.]

I asked the mods to give us a tag. There's at least a dozen here. :D

[o5_12]

Somewhat. Diogenes reported something similar a while back, but it was kept to Level 4 clearance until we had a second incident. It's not known what causes this so far; thankfully, it seems a very brief and harmless occurrence with an off balanced time-to-time ratio that allows no time to pass back in our world before we get back.

Be very careful when interacting with any SCPs you encounter here, though. We have no authority over them here.

Good idea!!

[too_redacted_toscience]

I already saw one, sir. Two thirty nine was no longer in the coma her record said she should be in. ...Also, there was a man who was able to produce her file though he, I believe, shouldn't have been able to.

[Which... reminds him.] Can I ask a question? [Without pausing.] Why was 239 placed into a coma at all? Her report reads nothing of her harming anyone other than the accident when she was born.

...Also I haven't seen Dr. Collins, who I was assigned to, anywhere.

SCP muses unite. <3

[o5_12]

Really? Who was this man?

[He sighs, rubbing his temples.] 239 altered the mind of Dr. Clef significantly on accident, giving him homicidal inclinations. That it was unintentional and resulted in our staff essentially fighting each other is an unacceptable risk. In addition, putting her in a coma allows us to see if that will cause that which she has changed to revert or if it is a permanent state. I would like to note I didn't vote in favor of it, but it isn't as if we have no logic to the decision.

It's possible whatever effect we've stumbled onto did not affect Dr. Collins. I've seen Clef, Diogenes, 239, and 231-7 here so far. None of these personnel were even in the same site as one another.

[too_redacted_toscience]

What happens if she wakes up and is angry for what we did? She... she wasn't mean in any way. [He's still new, still learning, but he did fight for the SCP against Karl.]

231... 231.. [It's on the tip of his tongue, but then it clicks and he looks more than a little shocked.]

[o5_12]

We're working on that, on getting a suitably sane and non-threatening staff member prepped to explain things to her as best we can so she does not go off on us like a bomb. I know it's not the best contingency plan, but it was a majority ruling and I wasn't on that site at the time to prevent it from happening.

Yes. [He runs a hand through his hair.] That girl is here unchecked. She is apparently being sent somewhere that automatically strips all beings of magical properties and energy. Personally I see no reason to attempt to reclaim her for the Foundation since she is effectively neutralized and normalized in that place. And I don't want to see you trying to haul her back to our world, either. Leave her be.

[too_redacted_toscience]

Maybe she's here because she is actually in a coma where we belong. [Which is a slightly headache inducing thought.]

N-No sir. Of course not. As long as she's contained, which it sounds like she will be, I don't see a reason why we should try.

[o5_12]

Interesting theory, but not one we can prove either way. I doubt even she could prove it.

Excellent. She's better off contained and allowed to live a normal life, even if her former containment has done regrettable damage. In all likelihood this place could actually be a stable solution to SCPs if we could access it of our own volition.

[too_redacted_toscience]

Difficult to say. I think.. if 239 remembers this when she wakes, I might be able to speak with her. [Knows it's not the best idea to offer such a thing in his first week, but after speaking with her he's sure.]

[o5_12]

I'll take it under consideration. However, there have been accounts from others here that sometimes memories are not retained upon return home. If that is the case, I may not be able to grant that request.
