Discovery

SCP-7300 was discovered by Wilson's Wildlife Solutions during a routine blue-green algae test in the Staats Lake of Eugene, Oregon, where it was reportedly "sobbing" and "begging for forgiveness."
In accordance with the Boring Agreement, SCP-7300 was promptly transferred to Site-438. Following a brief observation period, an interview was conducted by Dr. Wexler.

Dr. Wexler: SCP-7300. Please, stay on track. I've brought you here to answer some questions, and hopefully we can figure out what happened to you, okay?Dr. Wexler: I'm going to have to ask that you remain calm. I sympathize with your situation, I really do. I got turned into a mosquito once, and lemme tell you, it wasn't very fun. But I got turned back. We can help you.Dr. Wexler: Thank you. To start off… what all do you remember?Dr. Wexler: Plankton hole, actually.Dr. Wexler: I mean, uh… I guess you're part of the species that inspired the character?Dr. Wexler: Sure. So, uh, you mentioned Spongebob, do you have any other memories of human society?Dr. Wexler: That's… that's a lot. But you're saying that you were once a human, correct?Dr. Wexler: But?Dr. Wexler: It's okay. You've given me a lot of information to go off of. We can give you a happy life here, for now. There's a nice pond near here. Maybe I can see if we can put you there?Dr. Wexler: Yeah! A duck recently laid eggs, we're expecting little chicks to pop up any day now.Dr. Wexler: Really.Dr. Wexler: What is it? If the pond isn't to your liking, we can try and—Dr. Wexler: That's… we don't even know if that's what happened.Dr. Wexler: You're drawing unfounded conclusions and—Dr. Wexler: Calm down. Please, just take a deep— uh, just— a deep… photosynthesis? Do you want to go see the pond?Dr. Wexler: Great. Ah— just out the window, you can actually see it from here!Dr. Wexler: It really is, huh?Dr. Wexler: The pond, or—

As of May 1st, 2022, SCP-7300's morale ratings are at an all-time high. As such, investigations into the origins of SCP-7300 have been placed on low priority indefinitely. SCP-7300's psychologist, Dr. Goodman, expressed support for this action, stating the following:

In this case, doing anything more is unnecessary, and perhaps even harmful. SCP-7300's mental state practically crashes every single interview. Right now, it's finally doing better than ever before.
The best we can do is give it a happy life, and we're doing just that currently. If you've spoken with SCP-7300, you can tell how it feels.
It just really loves being a plankton. That's it.
