SCP-5057

Hello,
Sorry to bother you; I know you are very busy but I had an inquiry about SCP-5057 and its time spent under your care. In your assistant's notes it says it is very chatty and childlike, but when we spoke it gave one-word answers and shooed me out of its containment chamber.
Did something happen to it that wasn't documented while it was under your care?
Thanks in advance.

Harry,
I did not personally interact with SCP-5057 while it was assigned to my department. My assistant Rex Alces was in charge of it. I will ask him shortly.

Cole: Hello, fifty-fifty-seven. I see you are painting again.Cole: Well, I'm glad you've got something to help improve your mental state. And speaking of your mental state, that's why I'm here. I wanted to check in on you and see how you were doing.
[SCP-5057 stops painting and turns to face Dr. Cole.]Cole: Yeah, I can see you've been busy.Cole: What do you mean you're toxic to be spoken to?Cole: I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean.Cole: What? Where did you get that from?
[There is a five second silence. SCP-5057 turns around and continues painting on its canvas.]
Cole: What did you mean by that?[Dr. Cole approaches SCP-5057 and inspects the canvas it is working on.]
Cole: Hmm. Okay. I think I get it now. I'll be back later, fifty-fifty-seven.

Harry,
I checked with my assistant and he says nothing out of the norm occurred to SCP-5057 during its time here. Sorry we could not be of further assistance to your research.

Hello,
I believe you should question your assistant again regarding the attached document.

Thanks in advance.

Cole: Hi, fifty-fifty-seven. How are you feeling?Cole: I'm sorry you're not feeling well, but I'd like to talk to you about what happened.Cole: Researcher Rex, how did he treat you?Cole: Then why did you do that to the portrait of you two?
[Dr. Cole points to the portrait of Researcher Rex and SCP-5057.]Cole: Was he cruel to you?Cole: Hmm. Being cruel is like being really mean and unfriendly to someone.
[There is a ten-second silence.]Cole: What did he do?Cole: I see. For what it's worth, I don't think you're toxic to talk to, fifty-fifty-seven.Cole: Yeah. You seem like an alright person who was mistreated and led to believe something that isn't true.Cole: You may be toxic to eat, but you are not a toxic person. If anything, I believe Researcher Rex is the real toxic person here.Cole: No. You're you. And that's perfectly fine. You know, a real friend wouldn't make you feel toxic. A real friend cares about what you have to say and actually listens to you.Cole: You don't need to say anything. Why don't you go ahead and paint something new? I have to get in contact with someone about something.<END LOG>

RE:SCP-5057

Harry,
My assistant said he is familiar with the portrait but reports no unusual events surrounding it. However, he seemed rather uncomfortable about the situation and appeared apprehensive to answer. Therefore I will be personally combing through the logs of all recorded interactions between SCP-5057 and my assistant. I will report any findings to you.
Regards,

Cole: Hello, fifty-fifty-seven.Cole: That's great! What turned your mood around?Cole: Heh. I'm glad you're feeling better then. By the way, I think you'll be receiving something from your old 'friend' Rex.Cole: Just call it a hunch.Cole: So do you want to show me what you painted today?[SCP-5054 steps towards a canvas towards the back of its containment chamber and returns with with it, handing it to Dr. Cole.]
Cole: Very nice. Are you done with it?Cole: Perfect. Why don't I hang it up for you?[Dr. Cole proceeds to place the canvas on the wall, hung by a present nail.]
Cole: There we go. So, now that we've got that out of the way, why don't we talk a little about Professor Funtastic?Cole: What is it?Cole: Anything you want, Taste.<END LOG>
Note: SCP-5057 was questioned for 2 hours following this interaction but was unable to provide any information on Professor Funtastic. Further research is currently pending.
