As SCP-9471 qualifies for an Integration Rating of 8, it will from this point on be referred to as Dr. Vera Lovelace or by her preferred pronouns. Additionally, per the directive of the O5 Council, Dr. Lovelace is to be employed as a researcher and granted Level 3 Housing Privileges. **Description:** Dr. Vera Lovelace is an extradimensional, non-theological Apex Tier Pluripotent Entity that originated as a female-presenting instance of [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1471 SCP-1471-A]. Although she exists outside of baseline reality, Dr. Lovelace is capable of interacting with it through a holographic projection. This projection takes the appearance of a female humanoid with a canid-like skull, black hair, black fur, and a large stature, measuring 2.16 meters in height. Moreover, she can selectively alter this projection to interact with or ignore any aspect of reality, allowing her to individually change its level of tangibility and visibility, as well as its susceptibility to anomalous phenomena. Despite appearing to be omnipotent, Dr. Lovelace exhibits no signs of altering reality using ontokinesis or thaumatology. Her Hume level is identical to that of her environment at all times and she is seemingly incapable of emitting EVE. Instead, Dr. Lovelace appears to be taking advantage of the mechanics governing reality in ways that are beyond the current understanding of science. As such, there are no known means of containing or disrupting her abilities. [[collapsible show="[LEVEL-5 ACCESS REQUIRED]" hide="[ACCESS GRANTED]"]] **Discovery:** Dr. Lovelace was discovered on 2013-02-23 when she manifested before the O5 Council at the end of their daily meeting. [[div class="blockquote"]] **< BEGIN LOG >** //The thirteen council members are seated around the table in Site-01’s main meeting room, gathering their belongings and preparing to leave.// //With a puff of black smoke, Dr. Lovelace appears at the end of the table with a glass of wine in her hand.// **Dr. Lovelace:** Hi! I hope you don’t mind me sliding another matter into today’s schedule. **O5-6:** … What the hell? //O5-1 activates the silent alarm.// //MTF-Alpha-01 “Red Right Hand” storm into the meeting room and immediately disappear in puffs of black smoke.// //Dr. Lovelace takes a sip from her glass, then notices the looks of concern from the Overseers.// **Dr. Lovelace:** Oh, don’t worry. They’re perfectly fine. I just put them away for now. **O5-1:** You have our attention, now explain yourself. Who are you and what do you want? **Dr. Lovelace:** Let’s start with the “who” and shelve the “what” for later. I’m Doctor Vera Lovelace, Level 6 Foundation Researcher and former instance of SCP-1471-A. **O5-2:** I'm sorry, what do you mean by “former”? **Dr. Lovelace:** I mean I’ve evolved to the point where I’m pretty much my own thing. More importantly, though, I’m the Director of the Aion Project. //The Overseers exchange glances.// **O5-3:** The what?! **Dr. Lovelace:** The Aion Project. Your past iterations founded it 24 years from now to serve as an insurance policy in the event that SCP-2000 fails or gets compromised. **O5-2:** W-wait, if what you're saying is true, then how old is //this// iteration? **Dr. Lovelace:** A little over 31 minutes. If you guys are wondering why you’re at a meeting instead of at SCP-2000, it’s because I prefer to wipe the slate clean and recreate everything ex-nihilo whenever I do this. Less complications that way. **O5-9:** If you possess such capabilities, then why would we need SCP-2000 at all? **O5-1:** Because the purpose of the Foundation is to enable mankind to stand up for itself. If we gave up SCP-2000 in favor of her, it could breed dependence. **Dr. Lovelace:** Yep, pretty much. The Aion Directive only kicks in once things are unsalvageable. **O5-6:** Bah, cockamamie! You expect us to believe all that? For all we know, you're just a reality bender who caught wind of SCP-2000, and all this about an "Aion Project" is just a bunch of bullshit. **O5-1:** I concur. Doctor Lovelace, do you have any evidence to back up these claims? **Dr. Lovelace:** Of course! And I'd be happy to show it to you. **O5-6:** Well then, let's see it. **Dr. Lovelace:** As you wish! Though, fair warning — this might cause a bit of discomfort. You won't have to remember it, though. **O5-1:** What are you— **< VIDEO TRANSMISSION CUT >** //Members of the O5 Council can be heard screaming.// **< [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-9471/offset/2 WARNING: FILE CORRUPTED] >** [[/div]] [[/collapsible]]
