The final page of SCP-2246 instances contains an opening which 
subjects can pass through to enter the space where SCP-2246-1 
resides. lf this space is accessed from finished volumes, it will 
display a scene from the story. If it is accessed from the current 
unfinished volume, it will be featureless except for a desk upon 
which a typewriter and several sheaves of paper can be found. 


SCP-2246-1 is a Hispanic humanoid who claims to have originated 
from Brazil, as well as having been around 20 years old. 
SCP-2246-1 displays no need for sustenance or bodily functions. If 


SCP-2246-1 is encountered in a finished volume, it will not 
acknowledge any subjects in the area, and will continue to perform 
its current actions without speaking. Communication is only possible 
via latest instances of SCP-2246. SCP-2246-1 can not leave 
SCP-2246 for unknown reasons; research into this is ongoing. 


Interview 2246-E Transcript: 
Interviewed: SCP-2246-1 
Interviewer: Junior Psychologist Blake Yamagusuku 


Foreword: Interview takes place in Volume 50, "A 
Retelling of Nicolas Terrance's Egregious Adventures". 


<Begin Log, 16:01> 


Psychologist Yamagusuku: Afternoon, Phoenix. How 
goes the writing process? 


SCP-2246-1: Stale, stale, stale, stale. I've been staring 
at the wall for... [SCP-2246-1 hums for a minute, staring 
at the typewriter.] Last time we spoke. | don't have any 
inspiration to write. | don't know. Where does this go? 


Yamagusuku: What do you think the story will be? 
SCP-2246-1: I'm not good with stories. 


Yamagusuku: Then... images. What images come to 
mind? 


SCP-2246-1: Cars driving sideways up the floor. Kids 
climbing into cafés after-school and trading comics like 
currency. My partner gets into bed with me, and | can 
feel their hand massage my back, while | lay there still 
trying to write. Nicolas is there too, crooning about his 
jealousy of my success. Success... 


Yamagusuku: A partner? What was their name? 


SCP-2246-1: No, | didn't have one. A friend though, | 


had a friend. My partner is modeled after him and the 
character in his books. Avery was his name. Both their 
names. He was very close to me, and very kind. Avery 
was also unsure about his writing, but he helped me 
sometimes. | guess he was my inspiration a lot. He's the 
protagonist in Volume 133. 


[SCP-2246-1 pauses for four seconds before sitting 
upright and typing for the next six minutes. Immediately 
after finishing, SCP-2246-1 gets up, walking small circles 
near the desk.] 


SCP-2246-1: It must have been at least thirty volumes 
since | wrote so self-assuredly... | can't think of what to 
write next. 


Yamagusuku: Do you think changing styles would help? 
SCP-2246-1: Devil you know, devil you know. 


Yamagusuku: Well... might be a silly idea, but how 
about this. Whenever | can't think of anything to write, | 
just try to think of weird situations for my characters to be 
in. Something that could never be plausible. See where 
that takes me after. 


SCP-2246-1: | don't understand? 


Yamagusuku: "Nick woke up from last night's escapade, 
confused about his immediate surroundings. Why was 
the roof gone and the sky brown? It made no sense." 


[SCP-2246-1 stops pacing, turning their attention to 
Yamagusuku and sitting down in the chair.] 


Yamagusuku: "He rolled out of bed, into the ocean, and 
found a nearby building floating in the sea. With no other 
options around, he decided to swim for it, looking for 
answers. Finally, he got to the door, opened it, and 
crawled in." 


SCP-2246-1: And? [SCP-2246-1 leans in.]

Yamagusuku: "And as Nick entered the building, 
scouring for supplies to support himself, he came across 
his greatest fear, one that has haunted his nightmares 
for weeks on end..." [Yamagusuku jumps up and waves 
their arms.]"A spooky robot!" 


[Silence for eight seconds. SCP-2246-1 snorts, laughing. 
Yamagusuku sits back down, also laughing, before both 
fully stop 14 seconds later.] 


Yamagusuku: That might have been the first time you 
smiled since | started interviewing you. 


SCP-2246-1: It was maybe the first original idea had 
here. Not sure it'll fit my style or narrative, though. 


Yamagusuku: You don't think you could even adapt that 
to how you write? 


SCP-2246-1: Devil you know. [SCP-2246-1 turns back to 
the typewriter, staring at it.] Nicolas gets up, walking 
along clouds of water. He finds himself stuck between 
places, unsure of where to go. He's still jealous of the 
cars and the kids and my partner and I, but he never 
thinks about why he's jealous. He doesn't have a reason 
to be jealous. 


Yamagusuku: Why do you think he's jealous? 


SCP-2246-1: I'm not sure. | feel like it should be the 
other way around. 


Yamagusuku: Is he jealous of Avery? 


SCP-2246-1: No. He wouldn't know him. Even in my 
imagination, they've never been able to meet each other 
before. [Silence for 8 seconds.] If | finish this story, can 
you please not read it? 


Yamagusuku: Sorry, Phoenix. | need to read these. It 
helps me understand you better and makes these 
interviews easier. 


[SCP-2246-1 hums for 12 seconds before typing. 
SCP-2246-1 continues typing for the rest of the session 
without acknowledging Yamagusuku.]

Interview 2246-AQ Transcript: 
Interviewed: SCP-2246-1 
Interviewer: Junior Psychologist Blake Yamagusuku 


Foreword: Interview takes place in Volume 51, "Phoenix 
and the Fox in the Snow’. 


<Begin Log, 16:01> 


[Silence for 18 minutes from both parties. SCP-2246-1 
hums and taps their foot. Yamagusuku takes notes.] 


SCP-2246-1: | can't think anymore. 


Psychologist Yamagusuku: Hmm? Why do you say 
that? 


SCP-2246-1: I've had nothing to say to you the past five 
times you've been here, and nothing to write since before 
that. No images are coming to me anymore. The faucets 
in my head have stopped. Writing was a hard interest of 
mine to invest in before, and now. I'm not sure if | have 
any more to give. 


Yamagusuku: That was a nice image you gave right 
there, wasn't it? 


SCP-2246-1: Metaphors aren't images. 
Yamagusuku: Hmm. 
[Silence for another two minutes. ] 


Yamagusuku: What do you plan to do then, if you can't 


write more? 


SCP-2246-1: Dream, if | can. | regret writing. It was 
probably a mistake to be invested. Maybe | can still 
dream. | wish | could sleep. [SCP-2246-1 gets up and 
paces around the desk, biting their fingernails.] 


Yamagusuku: | imagine lying down and closing your 
eyes does nothing for you. 


SCP-2246-1: Nothing. [Silence for 20 seconds.] | wish | 
knew what I'm working towards. It makes me feel 
nervous too. 


Yamagusuku: Nervous how? 


SCP-2246-1: How many stories do | need to write before 
| feel good about myself? | don't want to work forever to 
no end. And the fact that so many eyes are on me... | felt 
better when only my friend and | could read my writing. It 
was more personal and intimate. This doesn't feel 
personal and intimate... | can feel the eyes on my works. 
It's like making eye contact. There's no personal space 
anymore. 


Yamagusuku: Is this why you don't read your stories 
anymore? 


SCP-2246-1: Before when it was almost no one else, | 
felt more sure about it. But now there are these strangers 
watching. How else am | supposed to feel about that? 


[Silence for two minutes. SCP-2246-1 types one word 
before stopping, lying their head on the desk and 
humming softly for thirty-two seconds. ] 


SCP-2246-1: It doesn't matter too much what people 
think of my stories, right? I'm just writing for myself now. 
So | can write whatever | want... that's what | should be 
saying, isn't it. 


Yamagusuku: How did the reading help you before? It 


sounds like it was really personal, whoever was originally 
hearing you read. 


[Silence for one minute. SCP-2246-1 raises head, staring 
at the desk.] 


Yamagusuku: You don't need to keep reading your 
work, whether out of habit or will. It might be easier to 
keep writing and find joy in it again if you stop having that 
expectation. There's no need to do it just because you 
feel like you need to. 


SCP-2246-1: Then who should | be doing this for? | don't 
understand. 


Yamagusuku: For Avery? 


SCP-2246-1: No. He would be disappointed with where | 
am now, | think. 


Yamagusuku: Then for yourself. And if you can't write 
for yourself, then you could try to write for no one. It 
might be more helpful than it sounds. 


SCP-2246-1: Hmm. [SCP-2246-1 sits up with a less 
tense posture, staring at the typewriter. ] 


Yamagusuku: I'd recommend trying that out for a little 
bit and see how it feels for you. There's no need to dive 
head-first into anything new, alright? 


SCP-2246-1: Okay. 
<End log, 16:30> 


Postscript: SCP-2246-1 finished "Phoenix and the Fox 
in the Snow" two days later at three pages. They seemed 
to shift in demeanor by the end of the interview. 
Hopefully, this had a positive effect overall. ~ Junior 
Psychologist Blake Yamagusuku 


Addendum 2246-B: SCP-2246 volumes have been produced at a 


more consistent rate since Interview 2246-AQ. The prose is more 
conventionally-written and entirely devoid of any readings by 
SCP-2246-1.

SCP-2247: "What did I go through to seek a new 
employer?" 


Item #: SCP-2247 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2247 is to be held ata 
modified humanoid containment cell at Site-17, with soundproof 
walls. While outside its cell, SCP-2247 is to be muzzled. Personnel 
handling SCP-2247 are to don sound-cancelling headphones, and 
(preferably) have limited to no comprehension of the Spanish 
language. 


Interviews with SCP-2247 are to be conducted via Spanish speaking 
D-class personnel as intermediaries. Audio recordings of interviews 
involving SCP-2247 may only be accessed by personnel with Level 
1-4/2247 security clearance. Pursuant to the Astrakhan Protocol, O5 
Council members are denied access to audio recordings of 
SCP-2247's vocalisations. Instead, they are allowed access to 
transcripts of those vocalisations. 


Description: SCP-2247 is a male adult human with light skin. 
Height and mass are 1.83 m and 75 kg respectively. SCP-2247 is 
capable of speech in Spanish, but it is unable to comprehend written 
Spanish. MRI scans indicate no damage to its Broca's area. A 
barcode-shaped birthmark is imprinted on SCP-2247's left thigh, 
corresponding to a serial number for products manufactured by 
Abbott Laboratories. 


SCP-2247's physiology is comparable with a non-anomalous 
human. When SCP-2247's extracted biological matter is displaced 
from it for at least three minutes continuously, they will undergo 
transmutation into the following substances with masses equal to 
the matter originally extracted. 


Biological Matter Transmuted Substance 


Hair and skin extracted from the’ Polypropylene 
head 

Hair, nail and skin extracted from Polyethylene 
the body, neck or limbs 


Body fluids and sub-dermal Solution consisting of a mixture of 
tissues (e.g. muscle) sodium thiopental and sodium 
carbonate 


Notably, the volume of the transmuted solution is consistently lesser 
if the sample of body fluids is extracted from SCP-2247's head than 
from the rest of its body. Reverse-transmutation does not occur 
when transmuted substances are reintroduced to SCP-2247. 


SCP-2247's verbal communication is restricted to interrogative 
sentences. To the Foundation's knowledge, it has not yet been 
observed to vocalise non-interrogative sentences. Individuals who 
have perceived and comprehended SCP-2247's vocalisations 
(hereon referred to as 'subjects') become susceptible to SCP-2247's 
interrogative statements, responding according to respective 
subjects’ factual knowledge and/or sincere opinion on the given 
topic. 


SCP-2247 was recovered outside the Biblioteca Nacional in Buenos 
Aires on / /1985, where it was sighted enquiring civilians for 
directions to any nearby Foundation facilities. Responding to the 
supposed security breach, Mobile Task Force Alpha-7 ("Security 
Blanket") was dispatched to capture SCP-2247. 


SCP-2247 surrendered to MTF A-7 without incident after it used its 
anomalous properties to discern their affiliation with the Foundation. 
It was subsequently classified as SCP-2247 when medical 
examinations detected its anomalous features. SCP-2247 was 
dismissed as an escaped mental ward patient on local media 
channels. 


Addendum 2247-1: Records recovered from Argentine authorities 
indicate that a person with identical physical and anomalous 
features with those of SCP-2247 was incarcerated from 1978 to 
1982. It was charged with intrusion into a chemical storage room at 
the Higher School of Mechanics of the Navy (ESMA)! in Buenos 
Aires. The means in which it entered ESMA were unknown. 


Inventory checks conducted after SCP-2247's arrest identified one 
500 mg vial of sodium thiopental-sodium carbonate solution as 
missing; whereabouts remain unknown. 


During its incarceration, SCP-2247 is known to have assisted in the 
extraction of confessions from prisoners held at ESMA. SCP-2247 
vanished on / /1982 while in its cell, escorted by two unidentified 
intruders.

+ View Interview Log 2247-1 
Interviewee: SCP-2247 
Interviewer: Agent Pedro de Souza 


Foreword: Interview aims to identify 
SCP-2247 and its intents, and is originally 
conducted in Spanish. As its anomalous 
properties were not yet understood, a non-D- 
class personnel served as interviewer. 


<Begin Log> 


Agent de Souza: For our records, start by 
giving us your name? 


SCP-2247: May you give me your name and 
position, instead? 


Agent de Souza: Pedro de Souza. Agent of 
Mobile Task For- 


[Agent de Souza exits the room. SCP-2247 
looks around the interrogation chamber.] 


SCP-2247: So Jailors, do you like this 
demonstration? Do | pass the audition? Where 
are you guys watching this from? 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Interview aborted due to 
possibility of breach of sensitive information. 
Due to SCP-2247's anomalous effect, it is 
suggested that only D-class personnel are 
allowed interaction with it to minimise breach 
of sensitive information. SCP-2247's speech 
appears to be limited to interrogative 
sentences. It is to be determined if this is of its 
will or involuntary in nature. SCP-2247 
appears to believe itself to be a prospective 
employee of the Foundation.
