Item #: SCP-3860
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3860 is to be contained within a Type S Anti-Thaumatological Humanoid Anomaly Containment Cell at Site-19's High Security Humanoid Containment Wing. The cell is to be inspected daily for both contraband and attempts to breach containment. Physiological and psychological evaluations of SCP-3860 are to occur on a weekly basis to address SCP-3860's attempts at self-repair and potential mental deterioration. Any physiological changes made by SCP-3860 to itself are to be logged and evaluated for potential threat to containment.
SCP-3860 may be provided with mechanical and thaumatological components as means of coercing valuable intelligence. All components must be approved by both SCP-3860's primary investigator, a thaumatological consult, and Site Command prior to application. Any components which could potentially assist SCP-3860 in breach of containment are to be denied. Components may be removed from SCP-3860 to ease containment.
Description: SCP-3860 is the former PoI-1115 (Vincent Anderson), a 67-year-old white male and former CEO/Founder of GoI-1115 (Anderson Robotics)1. SCP-3860's body has undergone numerous augmentation of various systems using a combination of thaumatological techniques and advanced prosthetic technology. These augmentations include, but are not limited to:

Replacement of both arms and legs with prosthetics constructed from combinations of aluminum, PMMA, polycarbonate casings, and white aramid fibers2. These prosthetics do not possess any discernible power source, and possess a network of thin cobalt-chromium alloy wires that connect into SCP-3860's central nervous system.
Replacement of both eyes with a complex series of optical lenses. Observation of these lenses during physical exams has shown them to be embedded with numerous thaumatological symbols.
Replacement of the nose by a single grated orifice.
Grafts of a white aramid fiber over various locations on the torso. These fibers have been demonstrated to weave into SCP-3860's non-anomalous tissues, and are capable of migrating to and filling in any scar tissue sustained by SCP-38603.
Apparent replacement of the liver and kidneys with synthetic variations. Due to the inability to fully study these components without their removal from SCP-3860, the full extent of their differences from non-anomalous tissue is unknown.
A series of augmentations to various regions of the brain including the frontal and parietal lobes4, as well as the cerebellum.

Subsequent interviews with SCP-3860 indicate all augmentations were self-implemented, with SCP-3860 insisting it designed and worked alone on each one. The means by which SCP-3860 was able to perform these traumatic procedures on itself and survive are currently under investigation.
SCP-3860 was initially apprehended by operatives of MTF Gamma-13 ("Asimov's Lawbringers") on 15/11/2018, during a sting operation within the Three Portlands Location of Interest5. Unbeknownst to SCP Foundation operatives, SCP-3860 avoided full apprehension until the joint UIU/Foundation raid on the Anderson Robotics Headquarters on 24/5/2024.

Interviewed: SCP-3860
Interviewer: Researcher Rose Labelle
Foreword: The following interview was conducted on 29/8/2024, as part of the initial containment of SCP-3860 following its capture on 24/5/2024. The goal of the interview was to investigate the nature of SCP-3860's augmentations.

Labelle: Good afternoon again, Vincent.
Labelle: Believe it or not, I've come to talk with you about, well… you. How you became you. The amount of augmentations you've undergone is extensive. Really, it's a miracle you're not dead.
SCP-3860 tsks.Labelle: We're not. But you can't deny that the changes you've made to yourself are of interest to what we do here! For example, your ability to still perform both thaumatological rituals and incantations through your prosthetics as well as…Labelle: Well, you're missing my point.Labelle: That's not a bad place to start. Why did you undergo so many augmentations? Why go through such Herculean efforts?
SCP-3860 shifts in its seat, then pauses briefly.Labelle: It's tempting, sure, but I feel you're underselling the cost this transformation put on you.
SCP-3860 gestures at itself up and down.Labelle: I'm going to guess no, you didn't.
SCP-3860 nods.SCP-3860 looks at its right and then clenches its fist.<End Log>

Addendum: 3860-2: Update 2/2/2027
As a result of increasing difficulty operating several of its augmentations, SCP-3860 has greatly expanded the number of requested components to facilitate its self-repair over the course of the last six months. A notably larger proportion of these requested components are believed to be of a thaumatological nature. SCP-3860 has likewise increased its cooperation with Foundation investigation efforts as a means of acquiring these components. SCP-3860 denies any change in behavior during interviews at this time.

Interviewed: SCP-3860
Interviewer: MTF Commander Clarissa Shaw
Foreword: The following interview was conducted on 13/6/2027, as part of MTF Gamma-13's ongoing containment of SCP-2806.
<Begin Log>
Shaw: Good morning, Vincent.Shaw: Glad to see you noticed the trend of my interviews…
Shaw hands SCP-3860 a file.
Shaw: While we've mopped up most of your products following your confinement here, the Gyrfalcon series prosthetics has been proving more elusive, most likely because they are attached to Marshall, Carter, and Dark customers. In exchange for a few of the components you requested from your repair list of our choosing, we want you to remotely deactivate them, if possible.Shaw: Why is that?Shaw: So it can't be done.Shaw: Do they have any kind of thaumatological aura that could be remotely detected?Shaw: I guess that's that then. Good chat, Vincent.
Shaw prepares to leave.Shaw pauses.
Shaw: I'm listening.Shaw: Are… are you suggesting that these people will be displaced there when they die?SCP-3860 laughs briefly, then becomes sullen.<End Log>

Addendum: 3860-4: Update 3/3/2038
SCP-3860 has greatly diminished its number of requested components over the course of the last three months, with SCP-3860 failing to make any more additional component requests after 15/2/2038. During this time period, SCP-3860 has become increasingly emaciated despite no change in nutrition levels and no discernible illness. SCP-3860 still maintains a high level of cooperation with the Foundation's investigative efforts. As before, SCP-3860 denies any changes in behavior.

Interviewed: SCP-3860
Interviewer: Site Director Sasha Merlo
Foreword: The following interview was conducted on 15/11/2040, following SCP-3860's agreement to divulge information about its transformation in exchange for an undisclosed service. SCP-3860 insisted the negotiation be held with Site Director Sasha Merlo, former CO of MTF Gamma-13, and refused contact with all other personnel regarding the subject.
<Begin Log>Merlo: Same to you Vince, but you don't seem to age.SCP-3860 sighs.Merlo: My time is very valuable, Vince. What do you want, and what are you prepared to offer?SCP-3860 chuckles.Silence.
Merlo: That's… generous, Vince. Why?Merlo: Why do you want us to kill Phineas? Again?Merlo: I've interacted with the Phineas AI construct, and I hate to burst your bubble, but he's not exactly suicidal.Merlo: That's hearsay. Even if it was true, why are you making this bargain now?Silence.Merlo: I've known you a long time too, Vince. I know you tug at heartstrings and slip bills into wallets to make yourself feel better.Director Merlo shakes her head.
Merlo: Even if I believed you, I don't have the authority to make that kind of call. Can't budge here.
SCP-3860 nods.Director Merlo sighs, then turns and leaves.
Merlo: Goodbye, Vince.

2. Believed to be prototypes of SCP-2806.
3. Believed to be a prototype of SCP-1360-1.
4. Especially in areas associated with thaumatological potential.
5. SCP-3860 experienced extensive damage during the course of this sting operation, necessitating its need for replacement components, which have proven a powerful bargaining chip in assuring SCP-3860's compliance.
6. An AI construct created from a neural map, and potentially the soul, of PoI-45543 (Albert "Phineas" Frostman), a former Chief Operating Officer of Anderson Robotics and a long-time business associate of SCP-3860. Investigation by UIU operatives indicate that PoI-45543 was murdered by SCP-3860 prior to the AI construct's creation. The construct is currently in use at Site-64 as part of a joint project between AIAD operatives and Anomalous Electronics Researchers.
