William Wettle/Synopsis

The history and its interpretations of Dr. William Wettle.
== Early Life ==
William Wallace Wettle was born at around 1964 to Mindy and Simon Wettle and lived together in Stockwell Row, Peoria. Since his early life, Wettle always put others' wellbeing before his own, not caring much about himself. When he was twelve years old, his mother had been afflicted with lung cancer due to her smoking and wasn't expected to live. Distraught by this, Wettle decided to pray to anyone who was willing to listen to him, begging for his mother to be cured and in exchange he would give anything he had. His mother had secretly watched the scene and moved by this she left smoking, and was miraculously cured. This was thanks to a higher being who heard Wettle's prayer, but as part of the deal it took William's quality of life, causing him to be cursed with bad luck. He would often assist his father in his horse ranch, such as one time holding a ladder for his father as he nailed a horseshoe above their barn's door for good luck, but when taking photo the horseshoe slipped through the nails and fell on Wettle's head. In 1975, his uncle had passed away which saddened William.
Wettle later moved to Chicago, Illinois and struggled with his education as he barely left his dorm room during college and switched his degrees between chemistry and history which he liked neither. He only managed to get his PhD thanks his girlfriend Margherita Villar's father being a donor to his school. He married Villar but the marriage was a unhappy one, as William always screwed things up. On their honeymoon, Wettle accidentally dropped Villar's Nikon off the Niagara Falls. During her father's seventynth birthday, William tripped and faceplanted into the cake. When working Wettle unknowingly went to the wrong office for two weeks, causing him to get fired and forcing Villar to find a second job. Being fed up with him, Villar became mad and as she drove she crashed into a minivan. She lost her driving license and while recovering at a hospital, Wettle decided to leave her as she was better off without him.
Trying to find a new job, Wettle sent several résumés for a job application in Las Vegas. He eventually went there for an interview, but was informed that he had mistook the letter he received as the work had put a restraining order on him. While resting in one of Vegas' infamous hotels he got drunk at a cocktail bar where he met a similarly drunk attractive woman who had recently broken up with her obsessed ex. Things escalated as they soon got married later that night. The next morning, when the two woke after their one night stand, the woman was horrified at the sight of Wettle and kicked him off the bed. Although he was at first distraught at the turn of the events, he accepted this as his usual luck. He explained to her what had transpired last night, but as she dressed herself Wettle realized his plane had already taken off and coupled with the hotel bill he needed to pay meant that he was now homeless. Feeling bad for him, the woman decided to buy him lunch and drive him back home.
== SCP Foundation ==
At some point before December 11th of 1998, after failing to get a job in a pharmacy in Chicago, Wettle went to Canada where he was hired by the parapharmaceutical company known as Rxx which smuggled out anomalous flowers from third-world countries for drugs used to treat those suffering from mental illnesses arising from anomalous circumstances. The company was eventually raided by the SCP Foundation, but instead of amnesticizing Wettle the Foundation decided to hire him after Dir. Allan McInnis had seen a document Wettle wrote about a drug which allowed its user to look into the future and was sent to work in Site-43, underneath Lake Huron, in Ipperwash Provincial Park, Ontario, also known as Nx-94, and because of this he often lived in Grand Bend. There he became the Second Head of Replication Studies, but also became notorious for his behavior and personality, causing most of his fellow employees to ridicule him. He became acquainted with his coworkers such as Dr. Harold Blank who became one of his few friends despite being among those who made fun of Wettle.
=== Bury the Survivors ===
During his time of work, Wettle suffered many injuries and accidentally damaged numerous Foundation equipment. On September 8th of 2002, SCP-5243 occurred, a devastating cascade containment breach caused by anomalous substances leaking and damaging reality. As the breach started Wettle left his research laboratory and proceeded north down the hallway only to be collided with Agents Janet Gwilherm, Ana Mukami and Stuart Radcliffe, and be left on the ground. In the aftermath, Wettle was among those interviewed by psychiatrist Dr. Nhung Ngo, and during the interview he expressed less concern about those who had lost their lives and more about his own wellbeing.
On November 4th, after Philip E. Deering began being haunted by SCP-5056-A, a spectral entity that could only be seen in reflective surfaces, Wettle, as part of a series of experiments, proposed to replicate a previous test in which SCP-5056-A violated the laws of optics to further establish the extent of SCP-5056-A's recognizance. He directed Phil through a course of varied light and atmospheric conditions before replacing Deering with an identical doppelganger to see if 5056-A got confused. 5056-A was able to recognize the doppelganger and immediately went back to Deering. From this experiment Wettle came to the conclusion that something spooky was happening around Deering, though Harry criticized Wettle's lack of analysis and clinical tone.
On April 22nd of 2003, Wettle alongside Blank, Udo Okorie and Lillian Lillihammer went to the Acroamatic Abatement Group Treatment Area-21 in Vienna, Austria, as part of a Foundation planned tour. After departing with Director Imogen Tarrow the group of four made their way through the area, until Wettle was met with Alis Rydderech, the granddaughter of Acroamatic Abatement Group's founder, who was enthusiastic about their collaboration in investigating the breach before he would give a presentation. Despite feeling awkward at Rydderech's extravagant behavior Wettle began liking her and agreed to go with her deeper into the facility. On their way, Rydderech explained how they would map out the breach by replicating it on a smaller scale and make sure it never happened again.
Rydderech proceeded to take Wettle to her dormitory where the two sat on a couch to talk. With Wettle's help Rydderech could access the report about the breach so she could run accurate simulations of it on her tablet. However, Wettle told her that he had forgotten his password as he always forgot code words. Instead of being disappointed Rydderech figured that Wettle must have written his latest password somewhere and using her charm she managed to convince him to tell her that he had written it on a sticky note behind his badge. Wanting to get to know Wettle more, Rydderech decided to get him to her bedroom to have intercourse.
Once they finished, Wettle asked Rydderech if she had sex with him only to get his credentials but she told him that she genuinely liked him. They then began discussing about the incident, with Wettle telling her that the tragedy had no real effect on him, and in fact he was frustrated at his coworkers being saddened at the loss. The next day, the couple prepared to replicate the incident in a simulation, though Wettle didn't particularly care about this matter. Rydderech was able to replicate the machinery that exploded on a smaller scale with Wettle helping her with setting things up. With things ready, Rydderech became determined to use this test to finally be noticed by her coworkers, while Wettle was increasingly becoming concerned over this test. However, as things weren't going as expected, Wettle admitted to Rydderech that he had intentionally mismatched the pipes of the machinery out of fear of messing things up. This enraged Rydderech who in turn beat Wettle before declaring that she intended to use the machinery to destroy the entire Area and putting the blame on him.
Feeling betrayed Wettle demanded to know what she was planning to do to which she replied that her plan was to destroy Area-21 and put the blame on him and his coworkers from Site-43, revealing herself to have been an imposter. As she tried to get the machinery to work "Rydderech" realized that Wettle's bad luck was interfering with her plan and decided to kill him. Thankfully, just as she was about to shoot him, Delfina Ibanez, Dir. Tarrow, Lillihammer and Dr. Rozálie Astrauskas arrived just in time. Held at gunpoint, Rydderech pressed her gun at the nearby pipes threatening to blow everyone up, forcing Tarrow to negotiate by allowing herself to be taken hostage in order to fix the machine. However, the other personnel were able to see that Tarrow was also an imposter as Rydderech was Tarrow herself and both Ibanez and Lillihammer quickly acted by distracting the two women and telling everyone to get down.
The false Tarrow attempted to free herself from the real Tarrow's grasp but SCP-6643 soon manifested and killed her. Ibanez then forced the real Tarrow to give her password to resolve the breach. By the time the threat was over, Wettle had fainted and was sent to the infirmary. Upon waking up Wettle remembered what had transpired and shouted out of his frustration, interrupting the nearby celebration. After recuperating, all of the Site-43 personnel held a meeting to discuss about the infiltration. It was discovered that the incident had been instigated by the giftschreiber and Rydderech and Tarrow were spies imbued with memetic and antimemetic properties to throw off suspicion, greatly confusing Wettle. Following the interviewing of the captured spies, Wettle and his fellow personnel, except for Dir. McInnis, were shipped back to Site-43 via a custom Learjet 25C.
On June 17th of 2003, Wettle fearing that his bad luck might have been part of the containment breach, decided to ask the Chief of Janitorial and Maintenance Section Noé Nascimbeni about this under the pretext of having a problem. However, when Wettle asked if the acroamatic abatement systems which the Chief had designed had malfunctioned due to luck, Nascimbeni was angered at this suggestion and lashed out at Wettle, even throwing clipboards at him. On August 19th, Wettle proposed to Nascimbeni to replicate the breach to make sure it didn't happen again, but the Chief refused as last time the entire Area-21 was nearly blown up. Wettle insisted on doing this test to ensure the safety of those who still lived, only for Nascimbeni to accuse him for doing this only for attention. This infuriated Wettle who turned to leave, but before he could do that Nascimbeni asked him to come to Okorie's office on September 7th. When the day came, Wettle crashed into a party which was being held by his coworkers in honor of the deceased and the survivors, annoying almost everyone. Though he was offered drinks, Wettle declined and instead opted to just drink water.
On September 8th, a breach suddenly occurred, alarming Wettle who tried to run somewhere safe only to be faced with Gwilherm and Radcliffe, both of whom were part of the last year's casualties, being chased by armed agents. Wettle pleaded them not to shoot him and tried to get out of the woman's way, but she kicked him so hard that he lost consciousness. After regaining consciousness, Wettle regrouped with his coworkers and discovered that those who died during the breach that had happened last year had mysteriously appeared alive for unknown reasons, while the entire facility had reverted back to how it was in 2002. After Ngo interviewed each of personnel that had returned to life, Wettle and his coworkers figured that they had become part of an anomalous time loop and were hopeful to return the victims back to work.
The next day, while everyone were busy with the resurrected personnel, Wettle was doing his own thing until Gwilherm barged into his room. Wettle was confused but she then ordered him to take his clothes off in order to hook up, to which he complied without any objection. After that, he attended another meeting with his friends, discussing about their resurrected coworkers as they found difficulty in integrating them in the current time.
===Wrong Tomorrow===
Going on his usual day of work and misfortune, Wettle noticed that the structure of the site had mysteriously changed, but wasn't very concerned about it. He decided to return to his dormitory, only to find it completely thrashed. Wettle figured that it was the work of Gwilherm and again didn't really mind it, readjusting his mattress to sleep for a bit. Waking back up, Wettle found a familiar looking man, Dr. Michael D. Nass, laying beside him on the bed, startling him. Seeing that the man appeared empty-headed and only spoke by repeating what he said, Wettle attempted to leave his room to notify security, causing the man to ask him not go. On his way out, Wettle again noticed some unexplainable changes, like the alarm lights, him missing his watch and the time being seven o'clock. Wettle proceeded to go down the hallway with the man following him shortly behind, going pass the debris and corpses littering the environment, until encountering Dr. Emilié LeClair who acted exactly like Nass. With two people cheerfully repeating everything he said, Wettle grew frustrated and desperately sought to find someone sane to help him, but he only found more dead bodies. Suddenly, a small man accompanied by two guards appeared and held Wettle at gunpoint, questioning what he was doing and if he was here collecting specimens. Wettle expressed confusion over this ordeal, leaving the small man and his two guards to continue with their move. As soon as the trio left, Wettle was shot at his shoulder from behind, causing him to flee. He ran through the halls before bumping into Dr. Stacey Laiken, also brainless like Nass and LeClair, allowing his pursuers to catch up to him. They turned out to be three agents of the Superintendent of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's Occult and Supernatural Activities Taskforce who questioned him on his identity and who he was working with. Wettle attempted to explain himself, though the female agent, Morwen Couch, soon recognized him and decided to leave him with the brainless doctors for now in favor of pursuing the small man.
Some time later Couch and her fellow agents caught Wettle and the three other doctors, and decided to bring them to the chief of security Ibanez. They believed that Wettle was mindless just like Nass, Laiken and LeClair, but was still able to talk due to being possessed by an entity which drove him to mess things up. Ibanez, although surprised to see Wettle still alive, was glad to find him and took him and the three mindless doctors with her. Ibanez was forced to report to Director Edwin Falkirk, and alongside Dr. Helena Forsythe attempted to convince him to keep the four around in order to find a cure for their conditions, but Falkirk refused to hear them, having already decided to have OSAT dispose of them. As the OSAT personnel led by Couch were about to take Wettle and the three other doctors away, Forsythe interjected, offering to join them as a medic and in exchange the four doctors would be spared for the moment, with Wettle in particularly remaining in the site to have his mind analyzed.
Ibanez proceeded to take Wettle to reunite with Blank and Howard Yancy in a secluded room where she explained to him that their timeline had mysteriously changed, the Veil having been broken, their country being afflicted with civil wars and the entire site being on lockdown due to a contagion rendering people mindless, and only they were aware of this change. Ibanez further explained that Wettle was suspected to be a carrier of the contagion and would have his mind examined by Alis Rydderech, who as result of the reality change began working as a spy in Site-43 under the name of Alis Naylor. Wettle was instructed by Ibanez and Blank to not tell anything to Naylor about the timeline having changed and to just undergo examination with minimal conversation. Wettle went to Naylor and during the examination, she was extremely friendly to him, annoying him as he knew this was all part of her manipulation. As she kept acting as a fangirl, Wettle had enough of this facade and ignoring Ibanez's orders revealed to her that he knew she was spy. Her cover blown, Naylor exposed Wettle to a memetic soporific which put him to sleep, but before she could dispose of him, Ibanez intervened, revealing that she knew her secret as well. Instead of taking out the enemy, Ibanez formed a deal with Naylor, offering to keep her true identity a secret and in exchange she didn't harm Wettle.
Unfortunately for Wettle, Falkirk was still adamant to not risk it and had the doctor put in a temporary coma for more than a week. Once he awoke, Naylor attempted to write Wettle's assessment, but found it difficult due to him not properly understanding the questions and trying to not tell the truth. Lying to her, he explained that he was unable to remember anything since September, which coincided with Blank feigning amnesia to explain his contradicting memories with the current reality. In the following days, Wettle was taken to a tent city near the site where Naylor ran daily tests on him to study his affliction. On September 26th, Wettle decided to do something different and proposed that this time he interviewed her. Annoyed, she begrudgingly accepted, and Wettle started questioning her about her preferences and past. As the interview continued, Naylor was reminded of being raised by the giftschreiber and indoctrinated into ending the world. When he asked why she wished to destroy the world, Naylor snapped at him stating she didn't know why and demanded to quit the interview and continue with the usual testing.
Seeing that Naylor was somewhat warming up to him, Wettle continued talking to her in the ensuing days in order for her to open up about her past, all the while Wettle heard a noise in the nearby bedrock which was one of victims David Marley crawling out of the rock. Over at the barracks infirmary where no one could hear them, she admitted to Wettle that she had been raised by apocalyptic cultists to work as an infiltrator, but she again became annoyed by his stupidity. This caused him to lament about his treatment by others, leading to her teasing him. Having been informed that they had met before, Naylor asked about their previous encounter, but Wettle would divulge the information if they continued with his interrogation. She relented and explained how the giftschreiber worked to spread chaos, believing that time for order had ceased. She further elaborated on why she infiltrated Site-43, having been sent by the cult to learn why they couldn't remember their reasoning for spreading chaos and believed that it was connected the timeline changing. However, she felt like something wasn't right, and Wettle asked her about it she refused as he wasn't adequate for this subject. At this point, Wettle revealed that the two of them have had sex three times in their previous encounter, making Naylor feel like an idiot herself. Back to their quarters, Wettle decided to also reveal to Naylor more about himself, telling her how he grew in a farm and with his unintentionally grew weeds. This amused Naylor as she grew closer to him, sneering on how she had sex with him. Wettle informed her that in his original timeline she had used him to blow up the world, but never revealed the exact reason why, surprising her. When Wettle asked her why she assisted the giftschreiber, Naylor at first refused, wanting to keep it to herself, but after further prying her she explained that since she was young she was told that the world went through a cycle and if the current world were to be destroyed a new one would emerge. As she realized the depravity of her actions, Naylor was confused over her identity and who she was and asked Wettle how she should be. Wettle, unprepared for this, jokingly suggested her to be naked, but she took in as an invitation and the two proceeded to have sex.
Unfortunately, this peace didn't last as Nascimbeni was betrayed by Mukami who opened the site's gates which allowed their enemies to breach inside. As the conflict escalated, Nascimbeni was reunited with Lillihammer who then informed Blank to bring the others to the I&T workgroup security station where she would be awaiting them. Blank, Ibanez and Wettle steadily made their way to the station, sneaking past several other staff members, until finally reuniting with Lillihammer. In the station Lillihammer told them her and Okorie's plan to take down their attackers, and depose Falkirk from the position of site director, though Wettle had no part in the scheme and he was forced to stand aside and watch as everything unfolded. Later on, they were also joined in the corridors by Okorie, Brenda Corbin, Eileen Veiksaar and Melissa Bradbury, and reunited with Okorie Blank and her soon left to follow Ibanez, leaving the rest of the group with a confused Wettle. When the three of them returned to the station, the group decided to go back to the barracks, only to be met with secretary Zulfikar and McInnis who had been missing for some time. Having finally returned just in time to help with their plan, the group went to directly confront Falkirk who could nothing but give up resistance and listen to them.
Meanwhile, Wettle had left the scene to go to a washroom, completely missing the revelation about McInnis becoming the new Administrator which allowed him to relieve Falkirk of his position. When Wettle returned, unaware of the situation, McInnis then announced that Wettle was the new Director of Site-43, shocking everyone present. The staff members tried to reason with McInnis as Wettle becoming the new site director would not only jeopardize Site-43 but also put him in danger, but McInnis argued that the post of site director would be nothing more than a ceremonial position and it would infact keep Wettle safe. The subject then moved on to how to deal with the victims of SCP-5243 as their revival had been creating alternate timelines that destabilized their prime timeline as they actually originated from realities in which SCP-5243 didn't occur. Holding a meeting in a makeshift boardroom, the group discussed how to fix all of this, with the only way being to kill the SCP-5243's victims as they were meant to be dead, but needed to figure out a plan to take out each one of them, since after the repeated breach the victims were mysteriously empowered and gone rogue.
In the ensuing weeks, the others worked in killing the seven victims, until only Radcliffe and Gwilherm remained, all the while Wettle stood aside as he wasn't much of help. Having figured out that Stewart Radcliffe was supplying Gwilherm with his own power by worshiping her which turned her into a god-like being, the entire group held a discussion on how to get to him first before taking Gwilherm herself down. During the discussion Wettle mentioned the time he and Gwilherm had sex, which Blank tried to shut it down only for Ngo to have Wettle continue as they could use this information to make Radcliffe disillusioned with Gwilherm and weaken her as a result. Ngo reluctantly recorded Wettle's entire description of having sex with Gwilherm, which was then transmitted through Site-43's speakers. This plan worked as Radcliffe felt betrayed by Gwilherm and ceased worshiping her, which weakened her, allowing Ibanez to finally kill her.
With the seven victims dead again, Wettle officially became the site director, while the rest of the group were elevated to the new O5 Council. As the new Director of Site-43, Wettle made Naylor his chief coordinator who began assisting him in his new job, that being managing the site's staff which he found pretty easy as he didn't see any different from wanting to be left alone. In the ensuing months, Wettle and Naylor entered a relationship and eventually decided to get married. This coincided with Blank and Melissa Bradbury also deciding to marry, and on February 8th of 2004 a double marriage was planned. As the Administrator and the O5 Council participated the security was extremely tight, but despite this the ceremony went and finished without a problem.
As September 8th neared closer, the group held a meeting. They discussed about the breach repeating itself and in order to prevent the timeline from changing again, they would be forced to reenact the breach and kill the revived personnel the same way they died. Wettle, along with a few others, was unsure of following this plan, mostly due to him being stomped on, as he considered the possibility of the breach not repeating again, but regardless they all started to train for their roles. Unfortunately, on the day of the breach, Site-43 was attacked by unknown assailants using memetics to knock out the staff. Wettle and his inner circle were unaffected thanks to Lillihammer, and while everyone else worked to mitigate the attack, Wettle went back to the replication lab where Veiksaar handed him a duplicate of a terminal she had isolated from the outside networks to check if there was any anomalous uplink. Wettle saw that the second terminal was attempting to connect to Site-7's server which shouldn't have been possible. He also became wary of Sokolsky who for some reason was also working in the same area as him, refusing to elaborate on why he was here in the first place. Wettle decided to wait until Sokolsky left the lab to see if it was safe to get out, only for him to fall asleep.
As it turned out, it had all been a set up by Lillihammer for Wettle and the others to unknowingly recreate their actions that they took in the original breach. Sokolsky urgently woke Wettle up in order to have him participate in the breach, but Wettle having forgotten about the plan refused to exit the lab and opted to sleep on a foldable mattress in the floor. Sokolsky didn't let him to sleep and forced Wettle outside, who got stomped on by the revived Gwilherm, Mukami and Radcliffe, and was immediately rushed to the infirmary. With the breach repeating like it was, Wettle feared that the timeline would be changed back and his marriage to Naylor would be erased. As the following days may be their last together, Wettle and Naylor had sex again. Resting together in bed, the two expressed their fears of was about to happen as Naylor would be erased from reality. Reminded of her baseline counterpart "Rydderech", Naylor asked Wettle to befriend her, though he reluctant as she was way more hostile than Naylor, but despite this he promised to talk with her.
That night, reality returned back to how things were supposed to be as if nothing had happened, with Wettle and the others forgetting their memories of the alternate timeline, replaced with memories they would've had if the timeline had never changed, but still remembered the overall picture. As soon as reality went back to normal, the survivors informed the higher-ups of what had transpired, leading to a debriefing regarding SCP-5243 held by Dr. Ngo. They, minus Wettle who still didn't have a clear picture of what actually happened, discussed how reality had changed to an apocalyptic wasteland after SCP-5243 repeated itself and the victims were allowed to live, which lead to them going crazy and using their powers to fight against containment. Seeing that SCP-5243 would be repeating itself yearly, all of the survivors were now tasked with reenacting their actions in their respective positions in order to avoid damaging reality again.
In the following days, McInnis held another meeting with the survivors, informing them that they would have survival training and life extending treatment so they could indefinitely help contain the repeating breach that has since been designated SCP-5243. McInnis then discussed of turning them into a provisional task force which would help in containing the breach, and while discussing about the name Wettle suggested to name themselves "Replication Studies". The others at first agreed with the proposed name, only for Blank to accidentally propose the name "See You In September" which was what they went with. They became known as Provisional Task Force Sampi-5243, and as part of their training, they were sent to Site-169 where they were forced to jog among other things. One night, after getting drunk Wettle and Ibanez, not in their right state of mind, had sex which she immediately regretted after. In the incoming repeats of SCP-5243, Wettle attempted to prepare themselves for lessening the impact, only to forget those preparations, while he and his PTF members were injected with shots to help them mentally the breach occurred.
On 2007, as Wettle prepared himself to repeat his steps, he tripped on his way out of the replication lab, diverging the breach's outcome. From this, the timeline changed into a world overrun by spiders, until it was fixed the next year. Although the PTF members forgot that timeline they still were left traumatized from that experience. On 2011, the timeline changed after Nascimbeni refused to repeat his own actions as he was unable to witness the victims die in front of him. Thankfully, the timeline wasn't that difficult and they managed to fix it the following year without much problem.
===Other Activities===
Following the discovery of a migrating pocket-reality housing a consumer goods warehouse which temporarily replaced a random warehouse and converts people in it into employees regardless of their previous jobs, designated SCP-5698, on April 2nd of 2014 Dr. Wettle was sent alongside Foundation agents to the Creekside City Hall in Ohio as it was affected by the anomaly. Wettle interviewed former mayor Maria Hoffman who began believing herself as the shipping and receiving manager, under the pretext of being an officer sent by County to investigate the business. During the interview he tried to make Hoffman remember her previous job, but she was adamant that she had been working in the warehouse for six years and that it was the best job she could have. The next day, Wettle interviewed former honorable judge Jacob Fischer who also believed himself to be the general manager, under the same pretext. Just like the last interview, Wettle tried to make Fischer remember his previous job to no avail, and noted that despite the "employees"'s happy and eager attitude their new job was of low conditions and the payment was underwhelming. Once SCP-5698 demanifested from the Hall a package was left revealing that Vikander-Kneed Technical Media had been behind the anomaly.
Sometime before December 3rd of 2016, the Foundation confiscated three instances of SCP-5904, instructional VHS tapes entitled "Human Resources Orientation" created by Vikander-Kneed Technical Media which caused the viewers to become unusually obedient to non-harmful instructions while experiencing insomnia, apathy, lack of appetite, and anxiety, though these effects would fade over time. Wettle was tasked with watching these tapes and writing the transcripts, but as he watched them the host of the videos, SCP-5904-1, spoke directly to him and explained how Human Resources should work while appearing in environments familiar to Wettle. Despite being heavily affected by the tapes, Wettle managed to finish his assignment before going to recover himself. While still affected by SCP-5904, Lillihammer teased him at a brunch by telling to eat her after he suggested her to check out the tapes, causing Wettle to bite her because of taking the order literally. Thankfully, Lillihammer was fine and he was very apologetic as she lied to him that he left a scar on her.
On December 21st of 2018, Wettle and Harry arrived to Site-59 to attend the Christmas party alongside other personnel from several semi-friendly GoIs. Wettle attempted to join the party but was unable to enter the site due to the doors being blocked by Vincent Bohart of Site-333. However, the site was attacked by both the Chaos Insurgency and the giftschreiber, but the situation was luckily resolved.
On January 9th of 2019, Wettle went to Harry's office to propose an idea to interfere with SCP-5243 in order save Dr. Adrijan Zlatá who had died during the reenactment of the breach in 2015 and prevent Deering from being haunted by SCP-5056-A. Harry, however, rejected this idea as it was too risky and could cause further damage to the timeline.
On June 31st of 2020, both Wettle and Blank went to Site-55 for the annual Foundation Symposium on Interacting With Anomalous Groups of Interest. While in cafeteria, Wettle slipped on the recently cleaned floor which took the attention of Blank. As Blank was distracted away from his food, an SCP-6832 event occurred for the first time, in which countless ants manifested out of nowhere and took Blank's food away.
===The Time After Time Password ===
On December 8th of 2020, as part of a plan to thwart terrorist attacks on the Foundation, Sokolsky sent each member of the PTF to different parts of the world where they would use a second instance of SCP-5109, a password that can be remembered by only one person in all of reality and if the holder tells it to another person, they would completely forget it while the one who heard it would become the new holder of the password, with Wettle being assigned to Site-87 in Sloth's Pit, Wisconsin, much to his dismay.
During Christmas, Wettle was busy doing a replication study on SCP-5751, disks of various types which appear out of nowhere when somebody with an excessive amount of similar disks dies, and always contained negative moral or legal implications about their former owner. He had been observing the CDs of the recently deceased Dr. Phillips, wanting to see if his instances of 5751 would manifest while his actual CDs were being observed. Sokolsky went to his office, inquiring on Wettle's research. Wettle explained what he was doing, prompting Sokolsky to suggest that because anomalies were unpredictable they sometimes didn't happen. Wettle was undeterred on his research, and so Sokolsky decided to join in.
On January of 2021, after Wettle was informed about the narrative reality of Nx-18 by the All-Sections Chief and was given a mysterious backpack by Sokolsky for emergency which actually contained a letter reading "DON'T FUCK UP", he was escorted to Site-87 by Agent Nicholas Ewell. On the road, Wettle learned that no one had asked for the password and therefore it wasn't known what Group of Interest was involved in the request, forcing him to gather clues, much to Wettle's dismay. Upon arriving he was greeted by Dr. Merrick Palmer, but Wettle, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible, had the psychologist to assist him in interviewing every suspicious personnel who had requested the password. One of the personnel they interviewed was Agent Alexander Carracos who despite putting the blame on the newly formed thoughtforms Leet Phreaks, a duo of female cyborgs, Wettle was sure that he was the culprit as Carracos used to be a D-Class. The next personnel they interviewed were the twins Ruby and Blake Williams, and Raymond February who also accused the Leet Phreaks of being the ones to have hacked the SCiPNET.
They continued with the investigation, and proceeded to interview the twins Jonathan and Harold West who also denied having involvement in the hacking of the password. The lack of results began increasingly irritating Wettle which worsened as everyone asked about his story, insisting that stories of each individual weren't important as he was considered a joke character. Expressing his frustration to Agent Ewell, the agent told him that stories embodied people and if Wettle didn't like his own story it was up to him to change it. After interviewing Drs. Kimba Laslow, Sevens, Harrison and Harold Breaker, Wettle hanged with Palmer, but faced complaints about him from the site's personnel. Palmer offered to conduct the subsequent interrogations on his own, to which Wettle accepted and went to rest on the rooftop where he met memeticist Ryan Melbourne who considered himself to be a secondary character. As the two resonated with each other, Melbourne mentioned how he tried to ask for access to SCP-5109 but his application was deleted.
With this revelation Wettle attempted to contact the site's MTF, however, found them fighting the Leet Phreaks outside. Making his way to the confrontation, Wettle came to conclusion that this site wasn't his concern and that his story was about him being awesome. Facing the Leet Phreaks, Wettle told them that their attempts at leaving a mark in the town to be believed was all in vain, and revealed that the password and the interviews were all staged to have the personnel discuss their issues with Palmer. He then closed his eyes, hoping the Leet Phreaks would disappear from the lack of belief in them and upon opening them back saw that they had disappeared. Unbeknownst to him, the Leet Phreaks were actually Dr. Katherine Sinclair and Singing-or-Sinning Jessie who were behind all of this not only to have the personnel take psychological sessions but to develop Wettle's character in his story. In the aftermath, Wettle went to the forest and having missed the chance to recite SCP-5109 he decided to say it out loud where no one could hear him.
Unfortunately for Wettle, the local legend known as the Hum which was an incorporeal being existing as a disembodied voice heard it and was able to snatch the password away from Wettle's mind. This caused the entire MTF to go looking for that person who was now SCP-5109's holder. Wettle was forced to accompany the MTF, but it was revealed that the Hum brought the password to Melbourne since he was now the protagonist of the current story after Wettle rejected the role. Though when Melbourne notified the personnel about this he added that the Hum had simply read Wettle's mind which allowed it to steal the password, hiding the fact that Wettle had said it out loud.
With his assignment over, Wettle proceeded to return to Site-43. Once back he and Okorie found the facility on lockdown and were escorted by two guards to Eileen Veiksaar's office where they were reunited with most of the team. There they were met with Sokolsky, accompanied by the Chief of Security Roger Pensak, who explained to everyone in the room that he had lied to them and he actually held thirteen different instances of SCP-5109. After the entire team regrouped, except for McInnis, Sokolsky congratulated everyone on completing their tasks and saving the day. Suddenly Pensak knocked Ibanez out and took out his pistol to threaten Sokolsky, demanding to be given the seven passwords used. With no way out, Sokolsky gave them to him, allowing Pensak to gain access to the 43NET and reset the room's security system. He released sleeping gas that knocked everyone inside while he wore a gas mask before exiting and ordering the guards to keep the personnel trapped in there. Luckily, Sokolsky had anticipated Pensak's betrayal and with the help of Veiksaar and several other personnel was able to take Pensak down. In the aftermath, Wettle met with Sokolsky to thank him for trusting him with the password and believing that he could accomplish his task. Sokolsky revealed to Wettle that he never did believe in him and the only reason he was able to succeed in his mission was because of the narrative and not of Wettle's skills.
On February 15th, following a MTF raid in Atlantic City, three individuals were captured and brought to Site-43 for interrogation. After two of the individuals refused to speak Wettle was assigned to interrogate the third one. Unlike the previous two, this Person of Interest agreed to talk and told Wettle that his name was Brury Regevoy. Wettle exploded into laughter at his name but as he attempted to move on with the interview he found himself unable to concentrate. Unable to complete the interrogation, Wettle finished it and went to tell his coworkers about the name Brury Regevoy causing them to also laugh and tell it to everyone else. As it turned out, Brury Regevoy was a memetic agent created by the giftschreiber with the intent of lowering the Foundation personnel activity and ability to work. Thankfully, when Wettle attempted to tell Lillihammer about the name she was able to see that it was memetic and created memetic inoculants to remove the effects from the personnel's minds and designating it as SCP-5524.
At some point, after the Foundation got hold of AO-11435-89-288, a four player chess board in which only one iteration can be played regardless of circumstances, Wettle was assigned to study it. Taking advantage of his few days of good luck, Wettle began playing chess on it and eventually became an expert in it. When Dr. Placeholder McDoctorate joined Site-43 he took pity on Wettle and became supportive of him. On April 21st of 2021, Wettle gained new assistants Gabrielle O'Conner and Bastien LeBlanc who quickly took a disliking to him, though Bastien became curious about Wettle later on. In the ensuing days LeBlanc would stalk Wettle to learn more about him, until May 5th when Wettle lead LeBlanc to AO-11435-89-288 confronting him about the stalking. LeBlanc challenged Wettle to play a normal chess game and with every piece one took they would ask a question for the other to answer. Unfortunately for LeBlanc, Wettle managed to win the game, but before he could turn to leave Bastien had Wettle predict the results of some dice rolls and coin flipping to test his luck only to see that Wettle had missed every single one, which shocked LeBlanc while Wettle just shrugged it off.
The next day, LeBlanc inquired about Wettle's situation, but the latter had no interest in the conversation and instead he decided to show his assistant a display of his luck which besides making his life miserable it also made everyone else more lucky than average. After throwing a banana peel in the mess hall, no one slipped on it over the course of the day, astonishing LeBlanc further. Wettle explained how he absorbed the bad luck of every person around him and expressed his frustration over his lack of action in the breach before slipping on a different banana peel. Getting back up, Wettle resumed his explanation, revealing to Bastien that he did experience a few days of good luck and used this opportunity to practice chess on AO-11435-89-288 which allowed him to win everytime since he technically was winning one game in which probability was nonexistent. He then made LeBlanc promise to not tell anyone about this out of fear that it might spread to others.
On May 8th, Wettle again discussed his bad luck with Bastien, revealing to him that he was also unable to prove his anomaly due to being that unfortunate. As their conversation went on, LeBlanc revealed that he originated from Sloth's Pit, infuriating Wettle who believed to have been cursed by the place. Bastien continued, telling his superior that there was more to Wettle than just being unfortunate and offered to be his friend and help him break free of this curse of bad luck, which Wettle reluctantly accepted.
===Encounter with Other Anomalies===
On April 28th, while Wettle was discussing with Blank about whether the First World War was named as such before the Second, the first instance of SCP-6056 occurred, that being an air explosion originating from Wettle's meatball sub, coating the both of them and the room they were in tomato sauce and beef. Wettle was sent to flying into a display cabinet of model ships, causing him to suffer minor lacerations and a broken collarbone.
On July 5th, Wettle was invited via email to a webinar entitled Media and You held by Vikander-Kneed which would be designated SCP-6123. Unsuspecting of anything Wettle accepted without letting the higher ups know, only for him to be transported to a conference room where he found Lillihammer who had also accepted the invitation. They were then approached by Mari MacPhaerson of VKTM who was happy that the two doctors had decided to attend the seminars and directed them to the registration table. The duo attempted to leave the building but there was no exit to the outside and with no other option decided to sit in on the seminars. They listened to various bizarre-looking presenters who gave weird and nonsensical speeches about media literacy. At the end of the sessions, Wettle and Lillihammer were given some bags containing gifts and after providing their contact information they were transported back to their offices.
On August 4th, as Wettle and LeBlanc made their way through an access corridor in the Research and Experimentation Section to his office and talking about fate, the last instance of SCP-6056 occurred within the office as Wettle was about to open the door. The door went flying into Wettle which sent him to the opposite wall while bashing into two MTF agents. With his nose broken, Wettle shoved the door away and complained about the situation happening a second time to him.
On September, when repeating his actions to contain SCP-5243, this time Wettle prepared himself by wearing a bicycle helmet and pads for his knees and elbows. He proceeded to exit the Research & Experimentation Section and into the hallway where he collided with Agents A. Mukami, J. Gwilherm and S. Radcliffe. After that was over, Wettle saw that he managed to make it through without sustaining any scratches. Unfortunately for him, three pairs of blue legs unexpectedly manifested and kicked him down repeatedly before disappearing, leaving Wettle with major bruising and some emotional damage.
During testing on SCP-515-ARC, Bastien asked Wettle why not asking the anomaly's creator Dr. Benjamin Kondraki about its nature. Wettle answered by telling LeBlanc that Kondraki had been dead for years and was confused on how Bastien knew Kondraki's first name. LeBlanc told Wettle that it couldn't be as he had met Kondraki the other day which confused Wettle. LeBlanc went on to explain that this contradiction was probably a result of the "Martinet Effect", a developing theory about different timelines intermingling with each other. Wettle feared he may have ended up in alternate timeline and went to have a Hume check in Health and Pathology. This scenario turned out to have been an elaborate setup formed by LeBlanc and Blank to keep Wettle from skipping his physical exams.
On September 30th, Wettle received from MacPhaerson via email a file of VKTM's pilot for their upcoming children's show, asking him for his opinions on this and urging him to keep it a secret. Wettle, however, immediately reported it to his higher ups who designated the video SCP-6677.
As the Foundation used magical items to neutralize SCP-6500, a event neutralizing all of the anomalies due to the Foundation containing most of them, Wettle was selected to join Provisional Task Force Sigma-11 to help in fighting the Foundation Elimination Coalition who were trying to claim other ancient artifacts used to prevent previous instances of 6500. The PTF was split into two teams, one of which was comprised of Wettle, Seren Pryce, Dr. Laura Cruz and Agent Wexley, and were sent to dig sites where the FEC was present. Wettle's team went to the dig site in Eastern Nile Delta where he argued with Cruz about the existence of previous Impasses but were interrupted by Wexley smelling the scents from the site. Unfortunately for them they were spotted by a drone and were quickly captured.
While Alan Hannigan of FEC interrogated Cruz about the artifacts buried in the dig site, Hannigan ordered one of his men to shoot Wettle. Thankfully, he didn't die as he was healed by the ground due it being imbued with the power of the Cicada God's Chalice which could heal and resurrect its users. As they were held hostage, while Cruz was forced to excavate the Chalice, Wettle noticed some birds which often accompanied crocodiles resting on a submerged log and figured that it was actually a crocodile and asked his captors if he could take a piss. The soldier complied and brought him near the river and when he turned away for privacy Wettle wrestled him from behind and near the crocodile which attacked the soldier. The soldier managed to get away from the animal but was knocked out by Wettle who took his phone and called a Foundation front market to reach to Commander Amir Abdul. While backups arrived, Wexley, who was secretly a werewolf, managed to take down Hannigan and allowed Pryce to claim the Chalice. Chaos soon erupted as both sides couldn't die, forcing Cruz to light a small pocket of gas nearby, causing an explosion that took out the FEC. As the Foundation seized the dig site, the mutated leader of the FEC, John Yttoric, teleported all of a sudden and immediately grabbed the Chalice before teleporting away just as quickly.
As Dr. Athenodora Cat was captured by Yttoric to sacrificed in a ritual utilizing the Chalice, the team went disrupt the ritual, with Wettle being forced to carry Wexley and Pryce's gear. Arriving to Parthenon in Athens, the PTF regrouped to confront Yttoric who had managed to gather most of the artifacts and ready to sacrifice the cat doctor. As the team fought Yttoric, Wettle became terrified and opted to run away. This was actually a part of a plan to take out Yttoric, and when he began monologuing about the corruption within the Foundation Wettle went to a high place and with a sniper rifle successfully shot him in the head, but crushing Sherd's Crown he was wearing that could share the information held by its wearer. After the situation was contained, the team went back to their ship where they were informed by the captain that the artifacts would be put through reliquarian recycling, but after he left Wettle revealed to his teammates that the "recycling" meant the destruction of artifacts. Having learned by Yttoric that the Final Occult War was coming, the team decided to go against the O5 Council and use the Crown's fragments to subtly break the Veil of Secrecy to prepare humanity for what was about to come, renaming themselves Threshold.
On November 21st, as the Foundation struggled with containing SCP-6913, a coffee mug that caused its holder to experience accidents, injuries and embarrassment and if not held would cause a CK-Class "End of the World Scenario" that could kill the entire human race, Blank proposed to simply give to Wettle as he already suffered from similar misfortunes. The suggestion worked as Wettle barely noticed any difference from his usual routine.
Coming across the file for SCP-6263, a phenomenon that prompts people to correct the misspellings of others mostly on social media, Wettle got confused on how this could be considered an anomaly but unbeknownst to him he became affected by the anomaly as he pointed out a misspelling in the file itself. Blank responded by using Wettle's own statement as evidence for the anomaly's existence.
On December, Wettle received a compact disc containing the song "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCarthy. Wanting to listen to it, Wettle went to the most private place he could find, that being the Cognitohazard Exclusion Booth. He played with his portable music player, but accidentally broadcasted the song to the entire site while he was still unable to hear it because of the noise-cancelling technology. Soon all of the personnel began suffering from extreme agitation and distress, forcing Lillihammer to go to the source of it. She found Wettle inside CEB and seeing that he was behind this she bashed the music player on him. This incident convinced the personnel that the song was memetic in nature and was designated SCP-6211.
On Christmas, Wettle celebrated it alongside Bastien. After looking at SCP-5056-A in a mirror nearest to Deering, Bastien inquired about why one of the tables in which four employees were sat lacked a mirror. Wettle explained that one of those employees was terrified of 5056, and while talking he accidentally spilled some of his drink. Just when Wettle proposed to mess with the being it left to follow Deering, Bastien quipping that bad luck didn't take days off.
On New Year, Wettle decided to write a list of 'New Year's Resolution' goals. As he went through this on his office the paper in which the list was written suddenly caught fire for no reason, shocking Wettle. As he stumbled across his office he attempted to put the fire out but eventually was forced to use a fire extinguisher. After the fire subsided the ashes formed the phrase "As if you'd fulfill them anyway". Saddened but unsurprised, Wettle proceeded to ask to take the rest of the day off which was accepted. From this inexplicable incident the destroyed paper was designated SCP-6306.
===SCP-7000 and Aftermath ===
At some point shortly before July 7th of 2022, Wettle was fed up with all of the misfortune that had plagued him his entire life, making him look like a buffoon who was constantly ridiculed. He lamented his situation to Dr. Ngo who was one of the few staff members who respected him. She explained to him that the reason why he was seen lowly by his co-workers was probably due to him being insecure and not having much self-confidence, but declined to admit it. Wanting to be the main protagonist of his story he asked if he could become important at las. The being he had prayed to long ago heard him and decided to manipulate the probability of the entire world that would slowly plunge the world while Wettle would be unaffected by it in order to make him important. As probability from all around the world became more and more random, on July 13th Wettle, fearing that this event was probably his doing, went to Sokolsky and revealed to him his anomalous bad luck, but when Sokolsky attempted to dismiss him Wettle was able to prove to him by attempting to execute a few luck based tests only for him to fail them all. From this Sokolsky realized that Wettle's anomaly could benefit the Foundation, and after investigating it to confirm this he informed Dr. Dan, Director of the Emergent Threat Tactical Response Authority who was tasked with managing the probability event that had since been designated SCP-7000.
With this revelation, both Dan and Sokolsky had Wettle join Agent Andrea Adams and her top agents to form Mobile Task Force Theta-7000 which would be sent to deal with problems surfacing as a result of SCP-7000. However, during training Wettle scored significantly lower than his fellow agents and both he and Adams requested Wettle to be relieved of his new position, but were rebuffed. By July 30th, Wettle was deemed fit to go on missions with the MTF, with their first mission was to attack the Chaos Insurgency's Firebase-5. As they breached base through the roof it collapsed and Wettle fell through it and on top of an Insurgent. The MTF made their way through the base, successfully disabling the traps set inside and taking out Insurgents, all the while Wettle sustained many small injuries and inconveniences. After destroying the breaker and falling yet again through the floor, Wettle was about to be executed by an Insurgent, but luckily was saved by his teammates. The mission was a success as Wettle had absorbed the bad luck caused by 7000 and allowed his teammates to take over the base.
The MTF was later joined by LeBlanc to support Wettle, and went on other missions such as counteracting a Serpent's Hand's cyber attack on Outpost-316's Deepwell systems, assisting the Unusual Incidents Unit in defusing a thaumonuclear bomb in Three Portlands, escorting the O5 Council to a location in the Asian subcontinent with the assistance of MTF Alpha-1, and recapturing SCP-682 and taking it back to Site-45 in Western Australia though Wettle wasn't actually involved as he was placed in the town of Augusta where he was best by a kangaroo, distracting the crowd from witnessing the escaped anomaly. Despite the success of these missions, Wettle was getting frustrated over this and when Bastien attempted improve his morale Wettle didn't took this kindly and ordered his assistant to go back to Site-43 and leave him alone. Wanting to get out of the situation, Wettle attempted to convince his higher ups that SCP-7000 was temporary or caused by the Foundation, but he was rebuffed.
On August 26th, after several more missions, Wettle was fed up with this and abandoned his post. As he ran away, he recorded himself on his phone, explaining how he was unwilling to keep suffering like this and be seen like a clown, while not getting any real recognition for his efforts. He sought to leave but was immediately found by MTF Pi-43 as Wettle was unable to disable the tracker in his phone. Dr. Dan decided to bring Wettle to the Foundation Mission Control where he showed him SCP-179, using her arms to form the silhouette of the wheel of fortune. Telling Wettle that this was directed to him, Dan explained how Wettle should step down from his position because of the unwanted attention and he should take the chance to help with the situation as he was now important, regardless if liked it or not. Wettle was convinced and rejoined the MTF to assist with the situation. Two days later, LeBlanc confronted Wettle in his dorm and revealed to him that he had interviewed his parents. He then brought Wettle to a place hidden by the cameras where Bastien reminded him of his prayer he had done when he was a child. Realizing that his prayers had been causing his bad luck and SCP-7000 Wettle went back to his bedroom and prayed to the being to turn things to how they were.
This worked and SCP-7000 almost immediately ceased and soon things went back to normal. In the next two days, MTF Theta-7000 was left on hiatus and all its members returned to their previous posts, including Wettle. While drinking at Sam's Canadian Pub in Grand Bend, Ontario Wettle was met with Dan who suspected the connection between Wettle and SCP-7000. Wettle revealed to him that he had indirectly caused this through his dissatisfaction with his life and felt guilty about it. However, Dan told that the real victims who suffered from the event were jerks like the Insurgency while the others affected by it were poor people who had been given a second chance thanks to what had happened. After hanging out together with Harry and Bastien, Dan convinced the O5 Council to designate Wettle as SCP-7000 while the neutralized event was designated SCP-7000-D and the blame was put on a Insurgency's machine, in order to give Wettle some recognition at las but locked the file behind high security levels not accessible to everyone.
Learning of Wettle's misfortunes Dr. Jeremiah Cimmerian had both of them take a break to take Wettle to the Kagan Memorial Recreation Center's swimming pool in Site-19's Site-Adjacent Residential Complex during adult swim time. Standing in the pool next to the rope delineating the shallow and deep ends, SCP-7222 accidentally ran over Wettle's foot, causing him some pain. The sapient pool cleaner then accidentally launched a penny that fell directly into Wettle's mouth, clogging his throat. Noticing what it did, SCP-7222 proceeded to ram into Wettle a couple of times until the penny got dislodged. From this, Wettle lost his balance and fell over the nearby rope, throwing the penny to Cimmerian who picked up, having barely noticed the event that just transpired.
On September, Wettle was temporarily transfered to Site-333, Atlantic City, New Jersey. There he was forced to hangout with the Site Director Vincent Bohart, making him to go gambling and drinking all night. During this time, Wettle lost a briefcase containing something valuable to the infamous Segreto Crime Family. The crime family got hold a passed out Wettle and brought him to their speedboat the SS Swelll Guy and forcefully woke him up. They threatened the confused doctor that if he didn't bring them back the briefcase he would be taken out, but as they were talking to him over the sea his Hawaiian shirt which they were holding to ripped causing him to fall into the sea. In the morning, Wettle found himself washed up ashore with no memory of what happened last night. He made his way to Site-333 where he asked Bohart for the briefcase, but the director told him that if he wanted it back he would have to help him in gambling, hoping that Wettle's bad luck would grant him great luck. This didn't work, and both were kicked out of the casino, leaving the two to go drinking again. However, as they drank at the Rusty Cow the crime family arrived, alarming Bohart as he owed them money which he had hoped to win with Wettle's help, and with this the two were left at the family's mercy.
On November, as part of the EVERSOR Initiative, a campaign for the decommissioning of low-level minor anomalies, both Wettle and Blank were assigned to neutralize SCP-6296, a slice of pizza that everyone refused to eat and never deteriorated. After setting up several Scranton Reality Anchors around the anomaly and preparing themselves, Wettle picked up the pizza, but after taking a bite out it he became disgusted as it contained tuna and threw the pizza to a nearby disposal bin, successfully neutralizing it.
All of a sudden, Wettle was snatched from his universe by an alternate version of SCP-6269 and brought in the reality of the Shark Punching Center. He received the designation of SPC-7000 and was subsequently interviewed by SPC agent Delaneaux, but during the interview as Delaneaux explained what the SPC was, Wettle was confused by the world selachian, until correctly assuming that it meant shark. This caused Delaneaux to knock him out, tie him up and gag him as the word shark was considered taboo. After Wettle promised to not say the word shark anymore, Agent Delaneaux explained to him the nature of the Shark Punching Center, or how they liked to be called the Selachian Pugilism Center, and were interested in using his anomalous properties in their mission to punch sharks.
 
Tied up, Wettle was taken by Delaneaux into a Chinook helicopter which flew near an approaching shark horde. Wettle begged to let him go, but Delaneaux assured him that their strategy would work and proceeded to drop him like a nuke on the horde. Upon impact, Wettle's bad caused all of the sharks to be obliterated, leaving only their bloody remains while Wettle was for the most part fine. With the mission a success, Delaneaux asked her superiors to not use Wettle in such a manner anymore and instead study his capabilities to use them to their full capacity. The SPC's Central Intelligence Coordination was left astounded by Wettle's achievement and approved of putting through some more tests. As part of the first test, Wettle was dropped into a pool inhabited by a monstrous shark. The shark attempted to devour Wettle, but was repeatedly hit by Wettle aimlessly swinging his arms to get to the surface, inadvertently kill it. After some more tests, the SPC came to the conclusion that Wettle was a shark punching deity, and decided to use him properly.
 
The SPC decided officially recruit Wettle as an official member of the Center. He was set to go on missions killing sharks alongside MFT Theta-7000, the first of which was to protect SPC mobile fortress Kitezh from an incoming shark force. As per usual, Wettle was dropped on the water infested with monstrous sharks and massacred a number of them before they could kill more SPC operatives. Once the attack was squashed, Wettle went to regain his energy aboard the fortress where the MFT's leader Maria Salazar asked how he could be such an expert in fighting sharks despite his apparent stupidity, to which he replied that it was just his luck.
 
In the ensuing months, Wettle and the MFT went on sixteen missions which included fighting sharks mutated by SPC-2191. All of the missions ended in success, earning him the reputation of the best SPC operative and being treated as a celebrity which he came to greatly appreciate. However, Wettle's accomplishments caused him to be targeted by selachian cultists who attempted to assassinate him on several occasions. To keep Wettle safe, the SPC Operational Command tightened the security and defenses around him, while treating him as VIP when not deployed. Seeing that he was a natural expert in the field of punching sharks, Wettle was soon granted membership in the Order of the Selachian Pugilism Deity. After defending the fortress island of Moloka’i from another horde of SPC-2191-mutated sharks, Wettle became happy with his new life with the SPC, having his worth finally acknowledged, being treated as a hero and bonding with Salazar.
 
With Wettle becoming a celebrated hero, he wished to stay in this reality forever and had no desire to return to his native one. On December 31st, Wettle was asked to go back to the SPC-6269 facility for an undisclosed matter. However, upon arriving he was beaten and tied up by Delaneaux who revealed herself to have this all time a double agent working for the sharks. She told Wettle that she had brought him here in hopes of using him to disrupt the Center's inner workings in order to give the sharks a chance to finally take the SPC down. Now, after seeing that her plan had the complete opposite effect, she decided to send him back to his home to deprive the Center of their best operative. Wettle protested, but to his dismay SPC-6269 returned him to his original reality before Delaneaux proceeded to destroy the facility, preventing the SPC to get him back. As soon as he returned to Site-43, Wettle began lamenting over losing his ideal world. He was reunited with Blank who told Wettle that no one was really concerned about his disappearance as his absence was barely noticed. Despite returning to his miserable life, Wettle accepted the facts and resumed his work in Site-43 as usual.
On Christmas, during Thilo Zwist's visit in Site-43, Wettle went to the buffet table at the center of the cafeteria, only for him to faceplant into the punch which temporarily interrupted the party.
On January 3rd of 2023, after another unfortunate morning Wettle went to his office to go on his usual job. He then noticed a king-sized chocolate bar with a sticky note on it that wished Wettle a happy year. Confused by this, Wettle asked various coworkers if it was a prank done by then, but all them denied doing so. Despite still being suspicious, Wettle went to eat the chocolate which turned out to be good. This event was labeled as anomalous and was soon investigated upon.
On March 23rd, Wettle and Blank were on their way to enter Site-43 when a pouring rain started. The two rushed to the entrance door, which Blank reached first, but at the time he was hosting SCP-7643 which made it impossible for him to open it correctly. Wettle saw this, and called him an idiot for not knowing how to open doors. Unfortunately for him, this remark caused SCP-7643 to be transferred over to him, making Wettle SCP-7643-W. Blank, now freed of the anomaly, finally managed to open the door and enter the site, leaving Wettle to struggle opening the door for the next four hours in the rain. After acknowledging SCP-7643 as an anomaly, the higher-ups informed all Site-43 staff about it and as part of the containment procedures no one was to make fun of Wettle when witnessing him struggle opening doors to prevent them from being affected.
Despite what everyone else thought, Wettle slowly noticed that something in his bad luck had changed, as he was able to figure out that his problem with opening doors always happened. As he stayed at the cafeteria door, he was approached by Blank who was about to insult him as per usual, but because of Protocol Deostiation he stopped himself and instead began behaving nice to him. Wettle was able to see through this façade, and attempted to extract more information from Blank by making himself look more stupid than he actually was. Blank maintained his nice behavior towards Wettle which was highly unusual. Wettle confirmed that something had changed, and set to figure out what.
At some point Wettle went to Area-219 in the artic which served as the high security humanoid lockup to have a date with a woman. When Junior Researchers Basil Qadir and Eszter Kárpáthy began interviewing various Site-43 personnel to assert the existence of Nx-143, an additional Nexus the site was located that caused individuals in it to fall in love, Wettle sent an objection to this. He was subsequently interviewed by the duo over video call, telling them that the Nexus couldn't exist as he didn't experience any romance in it. However, Qadir and Kárpáthy brushed his claims off since this was most likely because of Wettle's luck anomaly working against him.
Before SCP-8888, a valuable machine important to the Foundation, was stolen, Sokolsky tasked Wettle with running a replication study on a supposedly anomalous pocket billiards table. He ran the test with LeBlanc by playing several games of straight pool, all of which Wettle lost spectacularly. Following the the inexplicable theft of SCP-8888, Sokolsky announced a meeting in Site-43 to recruit individuals into his team to steal it back. Wettle learned of the meeting and wished to avoid, only to be met with Sokolsky himself. Sokolsky reviewed the test ran by Wettle and concluded that he was right for the team. As Sokolsky was going to be busy in the meeting he sent Wettle to Site-211 to recruit Researcher James Harkness into the team.
He reluctantly did so, and met with Harkness, telling him that both of them were chosen by ETTRA for a mission. Going to Area-09, Great Basin Desert, Nevada, Wettle and Harkness met with the other personnel who would help in their heist, Drs. Cimmerian, Azalea Moncier, McDoctorate, Ryoto Hishakaku and Agent S., and together formed Provisional Task Force Theta-8. Having figured out that SCP-8888 was now located in the Wanderer's Library, they organized a plan to steal it during the Library's event, Casino Night, organized by the demons of Undervegas, which involved Wettle using his bad luck for the team's benefit.
Barely knowing most of the plan, the team arrived to Planet Fitness in Jupiter, Florida where Wettle found it difficult to properly prepare himself before being given by Agent S. a Joker card, which acted as his fake ID, and by Sokolsky a red pentacle to use it as spending money. Now prepared, the team opened a Way through a disused treadmill and arrived to the Wanderer's Library and successfully infiltrated Casino Night in the Grand Hall. Upon entering, Sokolsky pushed Wettle into the games, urging to play in order to distract most of the participants while the rest of team went to retrieve SCP-8888.
Wettle, at unease, tried to avoid playing games, only to crash into several nonhuman participants, causing security to keep an eye on him. Eventually, Site-666's Agent Calendar came to him, asking Wettle if he was a pickpocketer, since several participants were having trouble with the games. He answered that he didn't steal anything, and was just supposed to play the games with the pentacle. However, he noticed that he had lost it, but thankfully Calendar handed Wettle an identical pentacle, telling him that a man had found it and told her to give it back to him. She then urged Wettle to go gambling, advising him to not do anything fishy as she and others would watching him. Wettle went to various gambling tables and devices, losing most of the games. Another man challenged him to a slot machine earnings contest to allow him to regain his money, but Wettle further lost. Soon, Wettle's bad luck caused all the other patrons near him to win the games instead, even prizes which they didn't aim for or had to share between them since opponents had won simultaneously. As chaos arose, Wettle sought a way out, only to get mistreated by most people he encountered which included a waitress, an actual pickpocketer, a Deep One hybrid and a Fae.
Eventually, everyone began fighting each over the chaos, which was made worse as a result of the team breaking inside the Vault near the Library's foundations, the demons attacked anyone in their sight. A time-traveling Cimmerian found Wettle and attempted to get him out of the Grand Hall, but lost him, leaving Wettle to cower in the centre and whimper. Sokolsky got hold of Wettle and regrouped with the others, but as they attempted to get through the hordes of demons, Wanderers and Librarians, Wettle's mark of credit suddenly exploded, knocking them to the ground. They were soon met with the criminal group the House of Stars, prompting Agent S. to use her powers to freeze the time around them. She revealed herself to be SCP-239 and had worked against the Foundation all this time alongside the House, and declaring her hatred for the Foundation, SCP-239 proceeded to manifest some waters from which alligators came out before she and the House disappeared. Free to move the remaining team members, save for Cimmerian, made their way to the Way to Planet Fitness, finding it closed much to their dismay. After failing to open it due to SCP-239's objects not working for them anymore, the Library's Eighth Archivist Rounderpede successfully captured all of them and brought what remained of the team back to the Grand Hall.
There Rounderpede, Site-666's Dir. Randall House, the Serpent's Hand's Midnight, and the demon lord Ba'al scolded them for not only ruining Casino Night but also causing immeasurable property damage. Sokolsky tried to argue that they were just trying to get SCP-8888 back, confusing the Archivist who revealed that the machine was never in the Library's possession, meaning that there was another party involved. The Library and demons decided to let the Foundation employees go on the condition they paid for not only the damage their mission caused but also for the future Casino Night event which they would be prohibited from participating. With the deal made, the team was sent to Area-09 where they were interviewed about their side of the event.
On February 1st of 2024, Wettle received an email containing a video of VKTM's Vice President of Public Relations Marian MacPhaerson. Despite the email warning him to not watch it, Wettle did it anyway. As he watched it, the video it proceeded to take control of Wettle's computer and trap him inside his office, while MacPhaerson told him that Wettle would be invited to his wedding with VKTM itself. A unknown individual named Clarence soon came into frame and extended his arms which emerged from the screen, grabbing Wettle and dragging him through the video which had become a portal. Taken to a makeshift office in infinite darkness, a tied up Wettle was informed by MacPhaerson that he would forced to participate in VKTM's latest reality TV show in which he would grow close to the company so that they would get married in the finale. Wettle became frustrated by this, and as he broke through his restraints told her that he would never love VKTM and would eventually escape. Sadly, he was almost immediately knocked out by animated velvet ropes.
Wettle awoke in what appeared to be Site-43, and hoped that his kidnapping was all just a bad dream. His hope was soon shattered when met by VKTM's Charlie Fiero who told Wettle that they had placed him in a familiar place to warm him up to them. He was soon taken out by a war worn Lillihammer who explained to Wettle that he had been gone for months, during which the world was being destroyed by VKTM. However, Wettle noticed that Lillihammer wasn't behaving exactly like her usual self, along with several discrepancies in the surrounding environment. When Thilo Zwist came to greet them, Wettle figured out that this was all a false reality created by VKTM to trick him, causing the copies of Lillihammer and Zwist to slowly crumble. Fiero soon reappeared, disappointed that Wettle figured things out earlier than expected. He proceeded to tell Wettle that they wished to teach him more them as the scene around them was how VKTM perceived the Earth, and wanted to show him that the company only goal was to fix and improve the world. Upon finishing, Fiero again disappeared, leaving Wettle to be swept by a huge wave of red viscous liquid. Wettle next awoke dangling off the edge of a cliff in a harness. He was then rescued by VKTM stunt coordinator Dave Racksaw, but was soon told by Racksaw that Wettle would be forced face the fear of flying. Confused, Wettle told Racksaw he already flew on several occasions, but Racksaw was undeterred and urged Wettle to traverse the desert and reach the nearest airport. Wettle followed Racksaw through the desert until halfway through when he collapsed to the ground due to heat, forcing Racksaw to carry him for the rest of the trip.
They arrived to a train station which confused Wettle, only to be told by Racksaw that trains were better for the environment. Wettle and Racksaw entered a train ready to depart which happened to be filled with tied up civilians. After departing, the train transformed into an airplane, prompting Racksaw to tell Wettle that people choose airplanes over trains anyway. Racksaw then informed Wettle that he took out the pilots and told him that he should pilot the plane in order to overcome his fear, else the hostages would be killed. Despite this, Wettle knew that VKTM wouldn't let him die, so he instead jumped off the plane. Racksaw went after, throwing at the doctor's direction a parachute pack which just hit Wettle. When Wettle reached the ground but instead of crashing into it, he tore through the ground like paper, entering a black void. Wettle fell through a cube and onto an air mat located in a warehouse. He immediately tried to escape, but was tackled down by two security guards. Wettle was then awoken in a childish room by VKTM's children entertainer Arcturus Haverfordshire who wished for Wettle to join him in his laboratory. Wettle refused to collaborate, but was forced into Haverfordshire's laboratory through the manipulation of gravity. There, Haverfordshire introduced Wettle to Winifred Wanda Wettle, a female child clone of Wettle created by VKTM to act as their child. Wettle was disgusted by this, prompting Haverfordshire to throw Winifred into the disposal bin, killing her, much to Wettle's horror. Haverfordshire told Wettle that VKTM was in control and he should behave nicely or he would be sorry, before leaving Wettle to also fall into the bin.
Wettle was set to wait at the entrance of the office of VKTM's legal agent Fionn Sharke. Sharke soon introduced himself to Wettle, telling him he only wished to settle the matter between Wettle and VKTM. At first, Wettle didn't want to hear any of it, but after Sharke assured him that no harm of any type would come to him, he agreed to listen. Sharke explained that the marriage between Wettle and VKTM was never meant to be e real serious one and the situation he was in could go more smoothly if Wettle played along. To ensure Wettle's cooperation, Sharke offered him a deal which would grant Wettle anything he requested. After thinking about it, Wettle wished for VKTM to leave not only him, but all of Site-43, alone and undisturbed. However, Sharke could only promise to greatly lessen the VKTM's activities on Site-43's personnel, which Wettle accepted. Upon signing the contract, Sharke reminded Wettle that he should have read the entire contract, causing Wettle to try to take it back. It was too late as the contract's words flew around the office, growing and glowing bright gold which engulfed Wettle. He was subsequently thrown and chained in a dark rocky room where he was awoken by VKTM set designer Cassandra Crawford. She explained that before the wedding could happen they needed to make preparations first and with that she transformed the environment around them into various venues. Wettle didn't care what venue they chose as the wedding wouldn't be real, disappointing Crawford, but when he broke his glasses as per usual she immediately took him away to remake his clothes. After some time of being tortured, Wettle was dressed in a adequate suit and brand new glasses before Crawford changed the scenery around them into a greenroom to act as the venue which Wettle accepted. When Crawford suggested to invite Wettle's loved ones and colleagues he convinced her to not do it as it could mess with the wedding. He further added that they were to fo the rest of the preparations, leaving Crawford to knock him out in a comedic manner.
On Valentine's Day, Wettle, dressed in a groom suit, woke up in a bed which proceeded to fall to the greenroom where most of the VKTM employees were waiting for him. Begrudgingly, Wettle went to the altar to finally marry VKTM, waiting to be ridiculed for their show. Eventually the company's wedding official Mr. Albee arrived, and as the wedding started he made a speech about how love was a powerful emotion that could hurt people before handing Wettle two beryllium rings. Albee then asked if anyone was against this marriage, prompting Charlie Fiero to object, only to take it back immediately as it was all for shock twist. The wedding proceeded without further incidents, with Wettle now "married" to VKTM. As they ate at the banquet, the VKTM employees demanded Wettle to make a speech. Wettle did so, telling everyone in attendance how much he hated all of them for what they did to him for no real reason. He later argued with MacPhaerson over VKTM's actual nature and the legality of their situation which caused her to make some calls. Haverfordshire then approached Wettle, wanting to tell him that Winifred was still alive, but he didn't want hear anything coming from the living puppet. Finally, Wettle demanded to leave, forcing the VKTM employees to lead him to a plane that would return him home. Without any further word, Wettle boarded the plane which began flying into the sunset. The plane ended up crashing through the sunset, ending in a void filled with TV static. Wettle was recaptured and strapped to a wall where he was demanded to make a confessional about the wedding. Once that was over, an unconscious Wettle was delivered to Site-43 on February 15th, along with the show he was forced to star in, which was designated as part of SCP-8889. Wettle was offered psychological counselling and helped in cataloging SCP-8889.
On April 1st, Wettle accepted to partake in experiment in Sloth's Pit to see if SCP-4040 had completely returned to normal. Before climbing on the car that would drive him back to Sloth's Pit, he received a message from Blank, warning him of the Easter Funny. Wettle became ecstatic by this, having finally caught the man who ridiculed the most making a typo, and thought of a clever comeback, but his phone refused to send the messages. On his way, Wettle bugged the driver Ewell about the possible myths surrounding the so-called Easter Funny, coming to the belief that it was some kind of Easter bunny parody who did tricks on people on April Fool's Day. Arriving to the bottomless pit, Wettle kept thinking about the nature of the Easter Funny, but to his shock, he was attacked by the creature itself which was furious over Wettle trying to turn him into a demented being before it disappeared into the pit. As it turned out, this was all part of a project planned by Blank to see if Wettle's imagination could create a new legend in Sloth's Pit.
On the night of April 26th, Lillihammer accidentally had Wettle eat a ghost pepper chip which caused great pain. Okorie and Ibanez went to transport him to the infirmary on a gurney, but as they struggled to open the door Wettle had a premonition that something bad awaited them on the other side. Okorie and Ibanez brushed his worries aside and went through the door anyway, and instead of going to the infirmary the three of them found themselves in a circular room where they were soon joined by Sinclair, Reynolds, McDoctorate and Asheworth. The floor beneath them soon crumbled and the personnel fell into a void before landing in from of an IMAX movie screen on theater seats with paper cups and bags of popcorn. Wettle had already figured out that this was all VKTM's doing, and as he expected MacPhaerson emerged. She welcomed them all and explained they had been brought here to act as a test audience for VKTM's latest entry in their SCP Cinematic Universe, that being a two part movie based on the events surrounding SCP-6500. Wettle was irritated by this, but was convinced by McDoctorate to remain and see if anything interesting they didn't know would appear. As the film started, Wettle became upset that his character was being played by Steven Seagal, prompting MacPhaerson to console him by telling that at least he wasn't being played by Kevin Spacey who was previously considered for the role, which didn't uplift Wettle's mood at all.
Throughout the watch, all of the personnel complained about their and their colleagues' portrayal in the movie, during which Wettle asked MacPhaerson if the formation of Threshold would appear in the post-credit scene. She confirmed his suspicion, which made Wettle concerned about the reactions of those who weren't part of the group. Once the movie was finally over, Ibanez became sympathetic towards Wettle due to his portrayal and having to put with VKTM on a daily basis. Soon the scene Wettle and McDoctorate wete dreading came up, displaying the O5 Council's judgment of O5-0, which revealed the truth behind the cause of SCP-6500. Wettle and McDoctorate explained to the rest of the group that they had formed Threshold to combat the corruption within the Foundation and allowed them to join the group as well which they accepted. To not get uncovered they cut off their recording equipment, and the next day they all were transported back to their living quarters. Lying to their higher-ups that they had no memory of what had transpired, they surrendered their recording equipment and copies of the movie, which was designated SCP-8650, and began secretly planning to claim other artifacts to combat a possible future Impasse. Unbeknownst to them, the Council was unto them and had MTF Lambda-11 spy on them, but they saw their attempts as futile and didn't think Threshold posed that much of a threat.

===Archetypicals===
On 2023, following the occurrence of a pataphysical phenomenon, known as NGC 604, located in the Triangulum Galaxy triggered by the anniversary of a Doctor Who special set in the galaxy, McDoctorate discovered a link between SCP-001-SWN and a map of the universe as a narrative. Planning to embark on a journey to the Triangulum Galaxy he assembled a crew of personnel who were considered side characters due to anomaly they would be confronting being a white hole that released so much protagonistic energy that turned people into protagonists which dissuaded them from reaching it. Wettle was among the recruits since a comic relief was required.
===These 5 Colleges are the Best for Learning Dark Powers! Number 1 Will SHOCK You!===
Following the Broken Masquerade scenario in which the anomalous world became public knowledge, Site-43 became a college opened to undergraduate students. Though the education and its staff were well received, Wettle was seen in a negative light as no one attended his 101 Classes.
===Project Isorropía===
Following the success of the cross-testing of anomalies at Site-100, Wettle was introduced to the cell containing SCP-5277, a man who was unable to be contained in any form due to probability causing his containment to fail. Once in the presence of SCP-5277, Wettle absorbed all of his probabilistic anomaly, resulting in him tripping and receiving grave injuries. Wettle would later recover while SCP-5277 lost his anomaly. In another entry, Wettle was introduced to SCP-181, resulting in both absorbing the effects of each other. Wettle was finally freed of his bad luck while 181 was left in shock.
