SCP-8762: Not really. I just do normal things.

To pretend to be normal to be normal

Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya

To be normal in a way I couldn't be

C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8762 is to be housed in a standard humanoid containment chamber,.Modified in a way most commonly compared to "babyproofing". positioned centrally among several high-maintenance anomalies to weaken or nullify their effects. SCP-8762 is permitted to request activities to maintain its morale. However, any activities posing potential harm to SCP-8762 are to be denied.

SCP-8762

Description: SCP-8762 is a middle aged man of indeterminate age who identifies himself as "Steve"..SCP-8762 has responded to a variety of names, including, but not limited to; Hubert, Larry, John, Bob, and Juggletron. No records of SCP-8762 exist in any known country, region, or sovereign state. Physically, SCP-8762 is non-anomalous and has the same physiological requirements as typical humans.

SCP-8762 has one noticeable, yet extremely potent anomalous effect: whenever SCP-8762 is within close proximity of any anomalous location or object, their abilities will temporarily cease; the reason behind this is currently unknown. Anomalous personnel will remain conscious, although any abilities will cease until SCP-8762 exits the anomalies proximity. SCP-8762 must be awake, conscious, and in a healthy mental state for this to occur. .Although entering REM sleep doesn't negate this effect, medically induced comas appear to do so.

SCP-8762 was first discovered at Site-01. Camera footage showed SCP-8762 wandering through the hallways for fifteen minutes, appearing extremely confused. After being noticed by several security guards, SCP-8762 was detained and interviewed. Extensive testing revealed that SCP-8762 was not associated with any known group of interest.

SCP-8762 emits no Humes, Akiva radiation, or any forms of anomalous energy, thereby eliminating the possibility of it being a weapon. After it temporarily neutralized SCP-001, it was designated as SCP-8762.

Below is an interview log between SCP-8762 and Foundation researcher Elizabeth Carter.

Interviewer: Dr. Elizabeth Carter

Interviewee: SCP-8762

BEGIN LOG

Dr. Carter: Good afternoon Steve, hope everything is going well with you.

SCP-8762: It's going.

Dr. Carter: Excellent. I'm going to ask you a few things if that's alright with you, need to learn a bit about you and whatnot.

SCP-8762: Go ahead.

Dr. Carter: Can you tell me about your background? Where are you from?

SCP-8762: No clue.

Dr. Carter: Pardon?

SCP-8762: Just woke up here, really.

Dr. Carter: You don't remember anything about your past? Family, friends, occupation?

SCP-8762: No, sorry.

SCP-8762 picks its nose, looking around the room for a moment.

Dr. Carter: …let's discuss your daily routine. What do you usually do during the day?

SCP-8762: I wake up, have breakfast, walk around a bit, maybe read a book or watch TV, then I have lunch, walk around some more, have dinner.

Dr. Carter: And?

SCP-8762: Then I go to bed.

Dr. Carter pauses.

Dr. Carter: So you don't remember anything before appearing.

SCP-8762: Seems so.

Dr. Carter: But you do have a plan for every day, despite the fact you don't remember why you're here? Or anything?

SCP-8762: Just what comes to mind when you mention it, can't really remember doing that.

Dr. Carter: I see. Do you have any hobbies? Interests?

SCP-8762: Not really. I just do normal things.

Dr. Carter: What exactly are "normal" things?

SCP-8762: Watching TV, mainly.

Dr. Carter: What do you watch? Movies? Any shows?

SCP-8762: The weather channel.

Dr. Carter clenches her fist around her pen. SCP-8762 does not notice.

Dr. Carter: How do you feel about not having any history or memories prior to your appearance here? For all that we know, you could have a family searching for you, or maybe a big career, or-

SCP-8762: I guess it's a bit strange, but I don't think about it much.

Dr. Carter: …And if we were to ask you to stay here for an extended period, how would you feel about that?

SCP-8762: Don't have anywhere else to be.

END LOG

Following confirmation of SCP-8762's anomalous traits, it was exposed to several minor anomalies to test the limits of its abilities.

Test 1

Anomaly: SCP-6161, a cake knife that causes all cut objects to become cake.

Results: SCP-8762 used SCP-6161 on various items, all resulting in nothing remarkable. He frowned, proclaiming that "You me promised cake, this is a knife."

Test 5

Anomaly: SCP-8022, a clay brick. Whenever it strikes an individual, they will vividly dream. Individuals hurt by SCP-8022 sustain trauma typical of being hit by a brick.

Results: [TESTING HALTED PER O5 ORDER]

Test 8

Anomaly: SCP-609, a growing collection of identical green billiard balls capable of being moved telepathically.

Results: SCP-8762 is requested to attempt to move SCP-609. Upon attempting for several minutes, .During this time, SCP-8762 held out its hands and loudly grunted, sweating and growing red. it responded, exhausted; "That's enough thinking for now."

Test 11

Anomaly: SCP-113, a small gemstone capable of causing anyone who touches it to swap biological sexes.

Results: Results pending. SCP-8762's sex is currently unknown, as all biological scans give mixed results. When asked, it replied with "I'm John."

Test 13

Anomaly: SCP-6914, a small sign that says "KEEP OFF GRASS". If individuals step on grass located near SCP-6914, they will then be struck by lightning.

Results: SCP-8762 proceeded to step on the grass with no issues, although later stated that it felt "a bit inconsiderate."

Test 44

Anomaly: SCP-173

Results: Initially, SCP-8762 stood within the same room as SCP-173 and did not report any findings. Shortly afterwards, however, personnel report a mild swelling in SCP-8762's face, which it attributed to "a mild peanut allergy"..SCP-8762 had no known allergies, nor has it eaten any peanuts. Moments later, SCP-8762 spontaneously combusted.

Following its untimely death, personnel discovered that its remains still shared the same properties as the anomaly itself. Lead theories suggest that SCP-8762 "absorbed" the properties of other anomalies. Because of this, smaller fragments of it are still capable of weakening anomalous effects. Following research, a new, revised file for SCP-8762 is available below.
