++ **SoI-140-01 -- INITIAL STUDY**
+++++ //10-18-1995//
++++ __Terminology__
SoI-140-01 is the designation assigned to the Daevite subject identified on 04-25-1995. It has since been given the primary designation, SCP-9140-A-0. Within this document, it will be referred to as "SoI-140-01" or as "the Subject".

++++ __Basic Examination (Conducted 10-17-1995)__
SoI-140-01 is a 26-28 year old[[footnote]]Due to discrepancies between the Subject's legal birth certificate and █████ documentation from the time of its birth, its exact age cannot be confirmed at this time, but it is most likely 26 years of age.[[/footnote]] female of the human subspecies, //Homo sapiens daeva//. It is a native Russian speaker, but has reportedly been fluent in English since age 10.

SoI-140-01's height has been measured at 185 cm, and its weight at 77.1 kg. It has black hair, brown eyes, and fair skin. It has freckles and a number of benign moles on its face and body. There are fully healed scars on its forehead, upper lip, and lower left calf. Reportedly, these are due to injuries the Subject sustained as a child. Multiple lacerations are evident on its left arm and right thigh, in various stages of healing.

Due to an incident[[footnote]]Details of this incident are currently barred from publication by O5 Council mandate.[[/footnote]] that occurred within the preceding 30 days, SoI-140-01 was hospitalized from 09-██-1995 to 10-██-1995, receiving treatment for severe hemochromatosis. Its skin remains mildly jaundiced, but photographs taken on 09-██-1995 demonstrate that significant improvement of its condition has occurred.

++++ __Initial Interview (Conducted 10-18-1995)__

+++++ Disposition:
SoI-140-01 arrived approximately 15 minutes late to its planned interview, scheduled for 10:30. It is of note that, since it retains Level-██ Clearance, it does not have to be escorted to the interview room; meaning, its tardiness cannot be attributed to other personnel.

It is dressed semi-casually, wearing a pair of capri slacks, a v-neck shirt, and a cardigan. Its hair is somewhat messy and it appears not to be wearing makeup. Notably, the subject seems to be fatigued. The Subject apologizes for its lateness upon entering the interview room, then sits down at the provided table, across from the interviewer. Upon being asked about its conduct and disposition, it states that it ##b80600|--had "a long night last night", and that "Admin wanted to see [it]". The Subject is asked why Site Administration had to see it at night, and it answers by stating that it does not know if it is permitted to reveal the information.--## ##00006b|was unable to sleep, due to a side effect of its medication.##

Your life at the Foundation before this started -- how was it? Did you get along with other personnel?"

SoI-140-01:
   [[/div]]
   [[div class="quote"]]
"Usually? My coworkers and I were cordial. I have a few close friends here too.

There are some other things that have happened a lot over the years, though, like people questioning my loyalty to the Foundation because I'm Soviet, or people mocking my accent... Nothing like this. This has been a ███████ nightmare."

"If you've been on a date with anyone, or had sex with them, then that counts as a relationship. The length or level of commitment is asked in contingent interview questions."

The remaining portion of this initial interview mostly concerned SoI-140-01's employment history at the Foundation. As this information is already available to approved personnel, it has been omitted from this document.
-----
The second interview of SoI-140-01 was scheduled to take place on 10-20-1995, but, on 10-19-1995, the Department of Xenobiology Mobile Research Team was informed by Personnel Director ███████ ████████ that the subject had been hospitalized.

The rescheduled interview date is currently listed as: ##b80600|--10-24-1995--## ##00006b|TBD##|
