SCP-039

<< SCP-038 | SCP-039 | SCP-040 >>

**Object Description:** SCP-039 are 23 very intelligent proboscis monkeys that can learn to speak some English and use tools and machines. They function normally, aside from lack of eyes and mouth, making them unable to see, eat, or speak. They do not possess a digestive system and have incredibly enhanced senses of smell, touch, and hearing, giving them a rudimentary echolocation. They communicate using touch and nasal vocalizations, and are typically hostile but have a strong bond among themselves. SCP-039-A is a human with the same defects as SCP-039

**Containment Procedures:** Contained in Site-77's WOC-2B. Containment chamber's interior and exterior are monitored at all times by two guards, and the chamber is inspected for contraband and sabotage

 Associated GoIs
 Associated Individuals
* *Cole*: Cole is someone at Prometheus Labs who tested and augmented what is now SCP-039. He communicated with Wehrner and expressed disdain at not receiving the animals he desired, yet still tested on the proboscis monkeys that Prometheus Labs received. He grew to express hatred towards the SCP-039 instances, and dislike towards SCP-039-A. Cole does not think that Prometheus Labs is ready for human experimentation. He is hesitant because experimenting on humans is dangerous and illegal. Cole was killed by the chimpanzees brought by Wehrner
* *Damien*: Damien is someone at Prometheus Labs who tested and augmented what is now SCP-039. He resisted to removing their mouths, thinking that any instances with removed mouths would become depressed and unwilling to cooperate. Damien thinks that Prometheus Labs is ready for Human Experimentation. He believes that it could bring many advances in science. Damien experimented on SCP-039-A behind the back of Cole. Damien noticed that SCP-039 and SCP-039-A can communicate. Damien was killed by the chimpanzees brought by Wehrner
* *Wehrner Gillespie*: An individual named Wehrner Gillespie is an actor that delivered 20 SCP-039 instances to Prometheus Labs, as well as two chimpanzees. He also delivered SCP-039-A to Prometheus Labs, picking him up off a street in Reno, Nevada by offering him drugs

#### Notes

* The original SCP-039 instances that were recovered at Prometheus Labs were taught by individuals at Prometheus Labs how to speak rudimentary English and use power tools and machinery, and they are able to perform tasks like changing the tires on a car
* SCP-039-A is supposedly named 'Jake', and was once addicted to drugs and homeless until the surgery that removed his face. He is able to write, despite not having his sense of sight. He has expressed that he prefers his life after the surgery to his life before the surgery. He says this because he believes he has much more control over his mind and body after the surgery
