Chronic illness: Most characters including Dr. Tau have anomalies analogous to chronic illness. Karina Qamar is given a terminal diagnosis..

Violence/Body Horror: Dr. Tau and Loyiso are unable to be perceived due to an aura of blinding light. Krzysztof is genetically disfigured and extremely distressed by his appearance and the discomfort created. Krzysztof is accused of being a cannibal. Karina Qamar spontaneously combusts.

Implied Sexual Assault: SA is explicit in SCP-3288, and implicitly Krzysztof is descended from SCP-3288 due to one these assaults. Krzysztof is also passively accused of participating in these acts, but his age at time of containment means this is unreasonable..

Self-harm: Krzysztof's story explicitly describes self-harming behavior such as using fingernails to break skin.

Suicide: Krzysztof implicitly has attempted suicide.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 10:59 AM

Video call commenced.

[Loyiso immediately disables his video stream. Dr. Tau broadcasts her augmented reality avatar, an anthropoid with a streetlamp in place of a human head. Her office is oddly dim.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 10:59 AM

Hello, Loyiso! I'm Dr. Tau. It's alright; put your feed back on. At least let me hear you.

IJ8#208 11:00 AM

Um, hello doctor.

[Dr. Tau cycles through various other avatar filters until it is disabled. She is dressed in a navy blue full-body shroud.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:00 AM

Oops, that was me. There we go. Hello, Loyiso.

IJ8#208 11:00 AM

Hi.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:00 AM

So, you're doing well, like they say? Your readings are strong. How do you feel?

IJ8#208 11:00 AM

I could be worse. Don't want to sit up.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:00 AM

Yeah, I get that. The headaches go away when your eyes adjust. A few weeks. But for now, you've gone over the prescription? You don't have questions?

IJ8#208 11:00 AM

None.

[Silence.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:01 AM

Sorry, it's very hard for me to talk to an empty screen. I promise I do not bite.

[Loyiso turns on his tablet computer's camera. The video is washed out by the bright glow emanated by Loyiso.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:01 AM

See, I can't even see your face! Don't worry, I get it.

[Dr. Tau removes her glove, flooding her own screen with a shimmer of light.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:01 AM

We're about the same. Cover up the shine for now.

[Both participants obscur their glows from the camera. Dr. Tau can see that the ailment has not spread above E-39286's shoulders.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:01 AM

That's good, it's not nearly as far gone as mine.

IJ8#208 11:01 AM

You're going through this too?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:01 AM

Went through it. Now I'm on the other side. And so, too, you will be. You're looking remarkable so far. Were you gardening? I was gardening.

IJ8#208 11:01 AM

Hiking.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:01 AM

Oof, that'll do it, alright. You're doing well, Loyiso.

IJ8#208 11:01 AM

Like this is supposed to be normal.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:01 AM

Yeah, I guess you and I have a different type of normal than most people.

[Dr. Tau returns her filter to her lamp-headed avatar.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:02 AM

You can set your own filter, too, in the tab.

IJ8#208 11:02 AM

Okay.

[Loyiso plays with the filters, projecting various avatars with mechanical, vulpine, and feline characteristics; he settles on an avatar of a stereotypical 'gray' extraterrestrial, amusing Dr. Tau.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:02 AM

Hah. This program, Rosetta.aic, is also transcribing everything we're saying, so you can read this back if you need clarity.

IJ8#208 11:02 AM

Woah, you really mean everything. Even tone.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:02 AM

Yep, Rosetta is wonderful. She can translate on your behalf, in real time.

IJ8#208 11:02 AM

[Sotho] Yeah? What's she know about African languages?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:02 AM

[Xhosa] She knows a good amount.

[A participant's designation has been modified.]

Office of Dr. Loyiso Winde 11:03 AM

Ooh, I can change that, too.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:03 AM

Yes, you can. You're going to be doctor, Loyiso?

Office of Dr. Loyiso Winde 11:03 AM

Uhm, maybe. I want a job that takes me on the ocean.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:03 AM

Yes, Captain Loyiso. Or you can be the lighthouse.

[Loyiso and Dr. Tau share a laugh. A participant's designation has been modified.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:03 AM

Well, if you keep up on the prescription, we can get you on a boat to Europe.

Captain Loyiso Winde 11:03 AM

What, really? Why?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:03 AM

Treatment, some research. I've done the paperwork for you; you just need to finish your current prescription, that's all.

Captain Loyiso Winde 11:03 AM

Wow, that's… What about my dad?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:03 AM

I've called your dad, and he's happy to have you sent there. It is an option. You can stay in the home country and I'll still keep in touch. You know about the travel restrictions, you might not see your dad for some time, even after your quarantine. Give it some thought.

Captain Loyiso Winde 11:04 AM

Nah. If he's okay with it, I wanna go.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 11:04 AM

Then look forward to that, Captain. I'll keep in touch.

SCP-3288-18762 | Prescription of Paratherapy, 04/02/2022

SUBJECT: KRZYSZTOF OLEJNICZAK

Patient Information:

DOB: 23/04/2004 SEX: I NAT: Polish

HEIGHT: 172cm WEIGHT: 48kg

STATUS: Standby

PRIOR CONDITIONS: Hemophilia, Pre-Diabetes

Acquisition:

SCP-3288-18762 entered Foundation containment at age 11 after typical SCP-3288 characteristics were identified on him and his mother (SCP-3288-5238). SCP-3288-18762 and -5238, who is 12.5% homo anthropophagus by descent, were born at an undiscovered compound in Poland but were exiled for undisclosed reasons. Instances were contained at Humanoid Containment Site-282. After site personnel concluded he could not provide information to contain further instances, SCP-3288-18762 received an order of Termination 19/11/2019. SCP-3288-18762 was granted a stay of Termination after submitting an appeal vouched by one member of Site personnel; after O5 deliberation, SCP-3288-18762 has entered the jurisdiction of the Reintegration Committee Paratherapy Division due to his outstanding circumstances.

Therapist Notes:

Krzysztof is extremely amicable, but expect him to become uncooperative if you refer to him as 'subject' or as his designation. You aren't 'feeding his delusions of grandeur' by calling him by his name, so please do so. He also goes by 'Krzys'.

Krzysztof O. 03:03 PM

Invite accepted.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:04 PM

Video call commenced.

[Krzysztof broadcasts via a handheld computer. His thin arms are streaked with coral red scars and rigid, fractured plates of enamel. His cell is unmodified with walls the color of Site-48 Mauve. Dr. Tau broadcasts her signature avatar.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:04 PM

Hi, Krzys! I'm so glad we got you to the site.

Krzysztof O. 03:04 PM

Uhm, glad to see you, doc. Glad to be out of the other site.

[Extraneous dialogue describing Anthropoid Site-48 facilities have been omitted.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:08 PM

… But I assume you're familiar with the different clearance levels?

Krzysztof O. 03:08 PM

I think so, yeah. They didn't keep me with the rest of them. I guess, because I'm not, like them.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:08 PM

Yes, exactly. You saw those things, you saw why we have to keep them locked up.

Krzysztof O. 03:08 PM

Yeah, I'm not fucked up like that.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:08 PM

That's why we got you here, to evaluate your situation.

Krzysztof O. 03:08 PM

I don't hate like them. I'm just as fucking ugly is all. Maybe not as bad.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:08 PM

Now, that's not how we're going to talk about ourselves. It's not constructive.

Krzysztof O. 03:08 PM

'Constructive'. Pfft. I'm in prison because I'm so hideous it's a crime against nature. Constructively.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:08 PM

Honey, with the number of cynical teens that I have on my roster— if you're not going to participate in my advice, you have a room at the other site.

Krzysztof O. 03:09 PM

Okay, I'm sorry, doc. Just sick of it.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:09 PM

I won't hold your resentment against you. I get it. But I need to do my job here.

Krzysztof O. 03:09 PM

And what job is that?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:09 PM

The people in charge of your case seem to believe that you're going to kill yourself, or eat someone. I—

Krzysztof O. 03:09 PM

I'm not a fucking baby-eater! Seriously, fuck. I'm sorry, doc. I'm sorry, again. I thought I was gonna be let out of the cage at some point.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:09 PM

This quarantine is standard practice. Next week, you can be cleared for access to the rest of your wing.

Krzysztof O. 03:10 PM

Uhm, alright. And then?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:10 PM

We'll decide where we go in treatment from there. It's absolutely shameful how little insight the team had about your syndrome, so we're going to throw the kitchen sink at it.

Krzysztof O. 03:10 PM

And that's it?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:11 PM

Yes. Up to that point, that's our plan. You have questions, or objections?

Krzysztof O. 03:10 PM

Um. So, I'm not going to have to see any of the other ones?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:11 PM

No, Krzys, you're the only transfer they've ever sent. Why would the worse offenders be here for reintegration?

Krzysztof O. 03:10 PM

I, I don't know. It's just— they don't like me. At all.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:11 PM

You're gonna meet a lot of weirdos, but nothing like that.

[Pause.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:11 PM

It would be unprofessional if I wasn't forthright about this. Krzys, I'm less concerned about your outward appearance than I am about your cutting.

Krzysztof O. 03:11 PM

Yeah, that's, um, yeah. I don't do that anymore, doc.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:11 PM

Why don't you do it anymore?

Krzysztof O. 03:11 PM

I— what?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:11 PM

If you don't do it anymore, why? Is it because it hurts? Because we told you not to?

Krzysztof O. 03:11 PM

Okay, I hear you. You don't believe me.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:11 PM

No, Krzysztof, I asked you why you will no longer continue this destructive, unproductive self-harming behavior while under my care.

Krzysztof O. 03:11 PM

Well… Because what was I supposed to do when my whole existence is a bed in a cell? I'll have impulse control when I can be myself.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:12 PM

And you can assure me that?

Krzysztof O. 03:11 PM

Yes, doctor.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:12 PM

Then you'll be a model for this program.

Krzysztof O. 03:11 PM

Yeah.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 03:11 PM

That's good. That's all very good. If you need anything, Rose can handle it. Dinner in three hours. Take care, Krzysztof.

How's the day, Krzys?

Krzysztof O. 01:09 PM

Oh, we're doing fine.

Krzysztof O. 01:09 PM

Madison needs your sig for something.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:10 PM

It'll be on my desk whenever she's able to come upstairs. Allow me to bring up the reason I called. Can you get somewhere quieter?

Krzysztof O. 01:10 PM

What's this for?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:10 PM

To talk.

[Krzysztof gathers his lunch and enters to the bare silent corridor.]

Krzysztof O. 01:11 PM

Eh, what's up doc?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:11 PM

Hah. Get to somewhere you can write something down, alright?

[Krzysztof proceeds to his unit. While turning a corner, he's startled by Dr. Duchamp exiting a laboratory, causing him to drop his tray of food.]

Krzysztof O. 01:12 PM

Oh, piss off Duchamp!

DUCHOMP 01:12 PM

[Alligator] Up yours, too!

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:12 PM

Duchamp, Rose's voice recognition works on you.

DUCHOMP 01:13 PM

[Alligator] Good! Disrespectful boy.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:13 PM

Okay; just go, Krzys. I'll spot you another lunch ticket.

[Krzysztof huffs to his unit.]

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:16 PM

Okay, you're in a place to write? Jot this down: Office of Recruitment Division, Corridor B3, Hall 9, Unit 08. I know Jessica there, you ca—

Krzysztof O. 01:16 PM

Okay, doc, I'm not writing that down. If they need me, they can come get me. Not like I'm going anywhere.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:16 PM

That's the point, you're schedule is still empty. Krzys, I'm asking you to show up and inquire for positions. You don't have to sign up full tenure, just find some vocational skill they can offer. Your review is almost up, I know what looks good for the councillors.

Krzysztof O. 01:16 PM

I don't care. I'm sure they've already made that decision for me. I heard from my friend, the RAT is a bunch of bullshit. They never pass.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:17 PM

Krzys, don't talk like that. You need to show initiative.

Krzysztof O. 01:17 PM

Show fucking initiative. [Whispered] If I hear that one more time I'm gonna rip my fucking veins out.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:17 PM

What was that?

Rosetta.aic 01:17 PM

He said he is going to, quote, "rip his ███████ veins out."

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:17 PM

Rose, quiet. Krzys, please think carefully about what you're saying.

Krzysztof O. 01:17 PM

I'm sorry. I'm not going to. That was just once, okay. I'm not doing again. I'm just so—

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:17 PM

It's okay, Krzys, I know. I really want to see this go well for you.

Krzysztof O. 01:17 PM

I'm so tired. They just make shit up. Go fucking stare at some kid behind a foot of plexiglass; feed a literal pile of shit better meat than the rubber steaks served in cafeteria; ask this demented typewriter or whatever the fuck how he met his fucking wife. I had to take on a whole new Protocol when I turned 17. They're setting it up against me. So fucking tired of this hell place.

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:17 PM

Let me help you get out of here, then. If I was going to give up on you, I wouldn't be reaching out.

Krzysztof O. 01:17 PM

Fuck, we're still pretending they're gonna listen to me? The fucking imp?

Office of Dr. Thandiwe Tau 01:18 PM

Make no mistake, they definitely won't if you don't step up to what they're looking for. Are you going to take my advice?

Tau: Hello, Dr. Tau speaking.

Duvall: And just why the hell did it take you this long to pick up? I know you don't leave that office.

Tau: Excuse you. I didn't have to pick up at all.

Duvall: I apologize, doctor. I only have four minutes, can you please hear what I have to say?

Tau: I got the notification. Have you pleaded yet?

Duvall: I'm not guilty. This is asinine!

Tau: The woman got mesothelioma, Bill. You even put asbestos in the bedsheets.

Duvall: And she was fine! She's not human! You told me she had, like, robot lungs! And they got better healthcare than my insurance. Ask yourself, did her house burn down? No!

Tau: You're being obtuse on purpose. Avoiding blame.

Duvall: You're in this, too, Dr. Tau. This is your division.

Tau: Yes, and thank you so much for that, Bill! I'm on this end getting ass-fucked by the Council for you!

Duvall: And where is the council for me, huh? Why am I stuck in here?

Tau: You know how the extradition treaties work, Bill. Believe me, both the Councillors and I would really prefer to have you here to answer to us instead of at the fucking circus over there!

Duvall: So I have to foot the bill for my lawyers, too, I'm guessing.

Tau: Yeah, so do I, Bill!

Duvall: They just want money. The girl and the judge. It's all about money. They're gonna tear down my business and for what? Some drone?

Tau: Even if Eurtec allows you to walk, you're going to be some drone at this rate. Except less useful.

Duvall: Uh, did the Council actually say that?

Tau: No, I don't think so. I'm just pissed off at you.

[Pause.]

Tau: Okay, I can tell them it's in everyone's interest that you have a lawyer. You're not getting extradited until Hyperkine sees that money, I can tell you that.

Duvall: Always squeezing the middle class, these tech bastards.

Tau: Okay. I don't know how to make the Council throw money at this problem. But if the property charges are dropped, you'll just serve community service for the attempted murder.

Duvall: Makes sense. I must ask just more one thing of you.

Tau: Yes?

Duvall: Can you send the word out. I don't want to lose my job. My livelihood. Over this.

Tau: Yeah, sure.

Duvall: They'll let that bastard Helman take it. Don't let them.

Tau: Okay. Goodbye, Mr. Duvall.

Duvall: Bastard would tear the place down. Please do—

I'm breathing fine, doctor. Can't say the rest of me is doing fucking great. And you know they can't fucking knock me out for surgery, so it's just drug on drug. And I'm too exhausted to keep my microsleep schedule. The little birdies told you that, right? So I'm a risk, again. So you'll probably have me in box, again.

I'm sorry you're hurt, Karina. I share the blame for failing you. No, I'm not going to take you out of Eurtec, you'll get the best care there. Are you willing to listen to me?

That "comprehensive healthcare" line was bullshit. I've been working for years and still don't have any of the fucking social credit to see primary care. You got a better idea?

Yes. Take it from them. Sue Hyperkine out the ass. Ultimately this is their fault, after all. I'm already lawyered up, here. No one would be in this situation without their fuck up.

Maybe. But maybe the threat of bad publicity will make Hyperkine drop it. Maybe the Foundation would expedite our fees, or else look weak in the face of opposition. Or maybe not.

Either way, you're more likely to get what you need from HKMC than you ever would from Silkworks. A shot to the wallet is the only way to make these ghouls care.

I'm sick to the stomach of this "fuck you, I got paid" attitude. I'm on board, doc.
