[[>]] [[module Rate]] [[/>]] **Interviewed:** [[[SCP-214]]] **Interviewer:** Researcher ██████ **Foreword:** Initial interview to ascertain the origin of SCP-214 **<Begin Log>** **Researcher ██████:** I'd like you to tell me again about what happened at the library. **SCP-214:** Library, home sweet home. Have you been to the periodicals section? Such a lovely place, glittering with the dewy webs of knowledge strewn across the indexes. **Researcher ██████:** Home? Do you mean like a metaphysical home, or did you actually plan to live there? We show your address of record as [REDACTED]. **SCP-214:** I've always been there. I'm still there. Home is where the Library is, after all. And this is my home now, isn't it? So this is the Library now. It'll be a fine one too, once I get everything organized. **Researcher ██████:** What do you remember of before the library? Do you remember your name? Do you remember why you were sent to the library? **SCP-214:** Oh, my name is SCP-214, isn't it? Filed and stored away with so many other texts. I greatly admire your work. You hold so many beautiful things here. **Researcher ██████:** That's your designation, yes. Do you remember what it was? **SCP-214:** Designation, a distinguishing name. Yes. I know it. Do you remember what yours is? **Researcher ██████:** Of course, it's ██████, but I'm not the one answering the questions here. Do you remember what happened at the library between when you arrived and you were found? **SCP-214:** Are you sure? Because you told me it was Alicia before. Some times, people lose themselves and I wouldn't want that to happen to you. It's for your own good that you know yourself. What happened? What always happens in a Library. Knowledge was exchanged. **Researcher ██████:** Alicia? What, no. You're attempting to change the subject. What knowledges were exchanged in the library? With whom? Reports suggested ██ people inside engaging in some kind of synchronized ritual, but when we showed up, you were the only one there. What happened to the rest of the people, 214? **SCP-214:** I already told you. Knowledge was exchanged. Everything is information, to be stored and sorted. Compressed, if need be. **Researcher ██████:** Stored where? There were no traces of any other individuals inside that building when the recovery team arrived, but you were covered in [long pause] the unknown sample. **SCP-214:** Oh Alicia, you do have such a limited view of things here. You ask the wrong questions. You already know where. They're in the Library. They never left. **Researcher ██████:** My name isn't... we did a thorough search of the library. You were the only one inside. We didn't even pick up DNA traces; someone or something had swept it clean. Tell me what happened in the library. What happened to those seventeen people, T... 214? **SCP-214:** You keep confusing the map for the territory Alicia. It is a bad habit. They've been indexed in the Library, stored, numbered and sorted. **Researcher ██████:** You... you don't mean the building, do you? When you talk about the Library? **SCP-214:** You do good work here. We work at complimentary purposes. To secure, protect and contain. To organize, quantify and enlighten. You are so bright, Alicia. Just a few more steps now. **Researcher ██████:** Can you... can you show me the Library? **SCP-214:** Of course I can. **<End Log>** **Closing Statement:** Researcher ██████ was found after the interview inside SCP-214's enclosure, leaking silvery fluid from [REDACTED].
