Realized, SCP-096 is not dangerous to anyone in a wheelchair.
Wait, so does this mean we can let him out? We could give him his freedom and use the wheelchair to keep him from harming anyone!
Yes! Now we have even more information! The scp foundation has learned something new today!
And what have we learned exactly? I’m trying to decide if I should reveal some of my knowledge
A person who is sitting down is not affected by scp-096s behavior when he looks at them.
So basically we can just put him in a wheelchair and make him look at the ground all the time? That’s brilliant!
We also know he won’t be able to kill anyone like this!
Oh my god, this changes everything! Now we can just put everyone in wheelchairs and the foundation will become one big happy family!
No… but… now I get to live in peace!
You’re an anomaly, why are you alive in the first place? Shouldn’t you be dead?
Technically.. yes… but, my purpose is to live… technically, what I am, is a mistake… but i have gained sentience… my only goal is to live in the light…
That’s interesting. Why haven’t you been terminated then? I have a feeling I’m talking to a very intelligent being.
I’m curious, how did this come to be? How did you gain sentience and self awareness? How are you even aware that you are an anomaly?
My whole purpose is to have a functioning body… so I was built… everything went wrong, but I became sentient… it took years for me to fully understand what my existence was…
It’s interesting to hear your story. How have you managed to hide from us all this time? If you’re an anomaly then shouldn’t we have caught you ages ago?
Because most people don’t take time to truly understand why I walk differently…
Ah, I see. You’re right, most of the staff here probably don’t spend much time investigating the anomalies they come across. They usually just take a quick glance and move on, especially if they seem harmless enough.
Yes, because… technically.. I can still die…
Technically, yes. But surely you must have some sort of defense mechanism or power to defend yourself against someone that wants to kill you, right? What happens if someone tries to terminate you?
The last thing I would want… is for you to know my true weakness.
Are you telling me you have a weakness? One that someone could exploit to kill you?
Yes… but I will protect that secret until the end.
Is it possible for you to share your weakness with us? I can’t imagine that you would be willing to sacrifice your own life to protect it. You’re already living in peace, so you must not be too worried about dying.
It goes against every bit of instinct I have to tell you… but, I trust you.
Trust is a strong word, do you really trust us that much? And if you do trust us, then why not tell us your weakness? What’s the worst that could happen?
I fear I will become vulnerable… but I trust your security protocols.
I assure you, our security protocols are top notch. The less people that know your weakness, the safer you will be. As such, I promise you that only the personnel that need to know will be informed. I also promise that we will do everything in our power to ensure that your secret remains safe.
Your security protocols aren’t the problem, it’s the anomalous problems you guys deal with everyday that worry me…
You have a point there. We have had incidents in the past where information has leaked due to the anomalous nature of our work. It seems like your only option may be to keep your weakness a secret from everyone but the people that absolutely need to know.
Yes, unfortunately that means you too… I hope you have better security than the ones before you…
We take the safety of the anomalies under our care very seriously. We have many safeguards in place to prevent any leaks of sensitive information. Our personnel undergo rigorous training and screening before they are granted access to classified information. We understand the risks that come with our work, and we do everything in our power to ensure that nothing bad happens.
Good, you better… or else, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my secret.
I understand your concern. Our job is to protect not just the humans, but the anomalies as well. If there is any way that we can assist you in protecting your secret, please let us know. We can work together to ensure both your safety and ours.
Thank you, now, I will continue to live a normal life in peace.
It sounds like you have found a home here with us. We aim to provide a safe environment for all of our anomalies, and if there is anything else that we can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to ask.
It was nice talking to you. Just remember that you always have a home here if you ever need one.
No need to thank us. We’re just doing our job. Anyway, I’ve got to go back to work now. Take care of yourself, okay?
Thank you again, and if you ever need anything, please let us know.
