## Biography

### 012 testing and research

In 2016, Stark and Dr. Stuart Pherson oversaw a test involving the exposure of SCP-012 and an assortment of pens to D-1875. While watching D-1875 continue the manuscript with his own blood, Pherson ordered the Class-D personnel was tranquilized. After the test, he questioned Stark as to what she was thinking. During a short conversation, Stark revealed to Pherson that she believed *On Mount Golgotha* to be near completion due to the lack of page additions and the greater resistance to tranquilizers. He told her to think about what made her believe it was nearly finished, before leaving the room.

Stark began researching into 012, particularly research logs and videos recorded and transferred to the SCiPnet database. One of the videos she watched was the video from 1973, which was a test with 012 that ran until the subject went unconscious from blood loss. Pherson then entered the room, talking to her. He asked Stark if she thought of an answer. When she revealed she was poring through everything written about 012 since it came into the possession of the SCP Foundation, he told her to look further back, telling Stark that it would help her "know about the nature of the object." Pherson then left the room.

She then looked into the journal of K. M. Sandoval, the archaeologist who found SCP-012 initially. After noticing Sandoval's mention of "a great man" dying on the night of 9 November and reading an addendum about Paul McCartney of the Beatles supposedly dying that night, she set off to Site-19's Long-Term Archives to inquire into this.

### Paul is(n't) dead

Stark then proceeded to visit Long-Term Archives to look at records pertaining to SCP-1969-EX. The archivist in charge, former field agent Roger Anderson, directed her to Box 431 in Aisle 22. After Stark read the reports on 1969-EX, Anderson spoke with her about how he ended up in the Cognitohazard Monitoring Division after 1966 and why Stark was looking into 1969-EX.

Anderson was taken aback by Sandoval's journal mentioning McCartney's supposed death across the world without any prior knowledge. He concluded that deceased Site Director Wertham wrote about this connection, and that Rita, the woman who saw McCartney die, mentioning the two thieves crucified atop Golgotha during their phone call wasn't just a strange coincidence. Stark and Anderson went through SCP-1841-EX's article, deciding that either 1841-EX or 1969-EX were designated incorrectly. He believed Wertham essentially "full-RAISA" on 1969, expunging information that would make the phenomenon still ultimately active. Stark listened intently to all of this, though still remained inquisitive. It was decided by the both of them that Paul McCartney likely did die, though was resurrected by some means afterward, making him "bigger than Jesus." Déjà vu then set in for Anderson, having corrected "more popular than Jesus" when Rita said "bigger than Jesus."

He and Stark then went over SCP-012's article, with Anderson believing that 012 was technically Safe instead of Euclid. Then, he realized the subtle obsession with 012 was the reason it was designated Euclid, as over 117 pages have been made in addition to the original vellum parchment. Anderson then briefly berated Stark for the lack of addition to the article, before apologizing and concluding it also received the full-RAISA. It was decided that someone had been obscuring 012 intentionally, though this was to be saved for a later time, as Anderson was invited to Dr. Califano's retirement party and Stark needed to get back to work.
