Interview 6642-05/20/21:

Interviewed: SCP-6642

Interviewer: Dr. Sabrina Kaye

Foreword: Interview was conducted following initial containment of SCP-6642.

[BEGIN LOG]

Dr. Kaye: Hello, I'm Dr. Kaye. Do you have a name?

SCP-6642: No, not really. Most of the things people call me are insults.

Dr. Kaye: Oh, uh, alright. Mind if I call you 6642?

SCP-6642: As good a name as any. With that out of the way, why have I already been arrested? I haven't done anything yet.

Dr. Kaye: Yet? Okay, it doesn't matter. Where did you come from?

SCP-6642: Some planet called…

[SCP-6642 makes strangled noises.]

SCP-6642: Uh, okay, I'm not gonna be able to pronounce it with these vocal cords. Big volcanic planet; not really suitable for your species, given your fragility.

Dr. Kaye: So why'd you come here?

SCP-6642: Same reason I go to every planet; I needed to leave the last one.

[A pause.]

SCP-6642: Turns out I'm wanted by some interplanetary police or something? Anyway, doesn't matter right now. No one ever comes here, so I'm probably safe.

Dr. Kaye: Right… How do you travel between planets?

SCP-6642: I usually steal a ship. They don't… usually crash so easily.

Dr. Kaye: And how many planets have you been to?

SCP-6642: Lost count a while ago.

Dr. Kaye: Look, it was believable up until the interplanetary police part. Why did you really come here? How do you know any human language, anyway?

[SCP-6642 shrugs.]

SCP-6642: I really am seeking safety here. You don't need to believe me. As for the language bit, I dunno. I just learn languages as I take forms.

Dr. Kaye: Oh, right, your abilities. Can you show me?

SCP-6642: I mean, not right now.

Dr. Kaye: I'd assume the restraints wouldn't stop you from-

SCP-6642: No, I'm injured, dumbfuck. I don't really wanna make that worse.

Dr. Kaye: Didn't you take the form of a human after you crashed?

SCP-6642: Yeah, and now it hurts to move.

SCP-6642: Oh, it's you again.

Dr. Kaye: Hi, I have some more questions for you.

SCP-6642: Eh. I don't really feel like talking today.

Dr. Kaye: I'll make this quick. What'd your original form look like?

SCP-6642: I don't know.

Dr. Kaye: Can you elaborate on that?

SCP-6642: It's pretty simple. I've been taking other forms for as long as I can remember. I don't know what I was.

Dr. Kaye: That doesn't bother you?

SCP-6642: I mean, it does a little bit, but there's no use in worrying about it.

Dr. Kaye: Alright, then. What-

SCP-6642: Hey, I have a question for you. Why am I here? You didn't answer me last time.

Dr. Kaye: Well, uh, the short answer is that you're not normal.

SCP-6642: Kind of a shitty reason to imprison someone.

Dr. Kaye: It's more complicated than that.

SCP-6642: I'm sure it is. Look, all you have to say is that my kind isn't welcome here.

Dr. Kaye: For what it's worth, I'm sorry.

SCP-6642: [sarcastically] Great, thanks. I feel so much better now.

Dr. Kaye: Hey, how're you doing?

SCP-6642: Everything hurts.

Dr. Kaye: Sorry to hear that. You up for more questions?

SCP-6642: Sure, I guess. Not like I have anything else to do.

Dr. Kaye: Great. First, did you have any family? Are there more of your kind out there?

SCP-6642: I was… abandoned as a child. So, uh, I don't really know.

Dr. Kaye: Do you know why?

SCP-6642: People tend to dislike me. It is what it is; I can't change it now.

Dr. Kaye: Why did you start traveling?

SCP-6642: As I said, people don't like me. Travel to a new planet, new people; they hate me, too, cycle repeats.

Dr. Kaye: Feeling any better today?

SCP-6642: Not really. It's boring here.

[A pause.]

SCP-6642: Are you the only person that can talk to me?

Dr. Kaye: I mean, if you really hate me, we could probably find a replacement.

SCP-6642: It's not that. No one else has actually said anything to me beyond a "hello."

Dr. Kaye: Sorry about that. Did you like any of the books I brought you?

SCP-6642: No.

Dr. Kaye: Oh. I could bring you some others if you want.

SCP-6642: I don't want books. I just want to leave.

Dr. Kaye: So, you ran away.

SCP-6642: Can you really blame me? It sucks here.

Dr. Kaye: You could've said something. I'm sure we could've made your life easier.

SCP-6642: Nobody listened.

Dr. Kaye: Oh. They… didn't?

SCP-6642: They all hate me, anyway.

Dr. Kaye: Where is this coming from?

SCP-6642: You didn't realize? Everyone hates me. Everyone has always hated me.

Dr. Kaye: Why do you think that?

SCP-6642: Have you seen the way they look at me? Why do you think no one talks to me?

Dr. Kaye: This kind of sounds like anxiety.

Dr. Kaye: So, someone else is gonna start talking to you.

SCP-6642: No.

Dr. Kaye: What do you mean, no?

Dr. Kaye: I really don't think that's true.

SCP-6642: Well, no one's gonna admit it, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

Dr. Kaye: You'll still see me around; just try to be nice.

SCP-6642: What?

Dr. Torres: I can't do this. You're driving me insane.

SCP-6642: I didn't do anything.

Dr. Torres: Oh my god! Can you just shut up?

SCP-6642: Why do you people hate me so much?

Dr. Torres: You're just really fucking annoying, clearly. Can't blame me for your faults.

SCP-6642: I told you: he hates me just like everyone else.

Dr. Kaye: Does this… happen often?

[SCP-6642 nods.]

SCP-6642: I'd be lying if I said you get used to it. Every time, you think that maybe this one will be different, and it never is.

[A pause.]

SCP-6642: Why don't you hate me yet?

Dr. Kaye: Your guess is as good as mine. Look, I'm really sorry this happened. I didn't know.

SCP-6642: Hey, Dr. Kaye!

[A pause.]

SCP-6642: Something wrong?

Dr. Kaye: I… I don't know. Why am I even visiting you at this point?

SCP-6642: Oh god.

Dr. Kaye: I can't deal with this. I can't deal with you.

SCP-6642: You hate me, too, don't you?

Dr. Kaye: It's just… you're so fucking aggravating.

SCP-6642: I thought you were different.

Dr. Kaye: And that got you nowhere.

[A pause.]

Dr. Kaye: I'd say I'm sorry, but I don't think I am.

[END LOG]

Closing Statement: It is theorized that Dr. Kaye possessed an inherent resistance to memetic hazards; however, upon beginning to take an SSRI medication, her resistance was weakened. SCP-6642 refused to interact with Foundation staff for ten days after this visit.
