[!--NOPE--] [[include info:start]] **SCP-4027:** Anomalous Dissociative Identity ------ **Author:** [[$ sc(rn)p $]] ([http://www.scp-wiki.net/scpcrnp-s-author-page More from this author.]) [[include info:end]] **Item #:** SCP-4027 **Object Class:** Euclid **Special Containment Procedures:** Periodic interruptions in SCP-4027's containment are an expected component of the anomaly's nature. Once confirmed, SCP-4027 is to be contained in a modified humanoid containment chamber at the nearest Foundation site. When SCP-4027 is uncontained, reports of partial corpses are to be investigated and cases with avian activity prioritized. Foundation zoologists are to be consulted to determine the most likely site of future activity. **Description:** SCP-4027 is a dissociative personality that presents across individuals (termed "instances") as an elderly, English-speaking male. SCP-4027 can be identified by a sudden change in vocal and behavioral idiosyncrasies, self-admittance, and its canonical rapport with Foundation personnel. [[footnote]]SCP-4027 recalls its interactions with the Foundation continuously across evocations and instances. [[/footnote]] This personality may be elicited from instances by applying persuasive psychological techniques, sufficient psychological duress, or pharmacological agents known to produce fugue states. [[footnote]] Trials have shown that SCP-4027 is more expository when such compounds are administered in appropriate doses. If the recommended dose is exceeded, the personality limits itself to staring and producing vocalizations described as guttural hissing and whistling.[[/footnote]] Instances are not aware of SCP-4027's underlying presence and do not recall episodes of SCP-4027's emergence. They frequent graveyards and/or burial sites and have been sighted near locations where cadavers (termed "victims") are found half-consumed. [[footnote]]Forensics suggests that remnant soft tissues including the skin, organs, and eyes are prioritized in this process.[[/footnote]] At the time of writing, the remainders of all victims have never been recovered. Evidence left at sites suspected of SCP-4027 activity do not suggest human involvement, instead implying avian participation.[[footnote]]Indications include feathers, tracks, excrement, and various markings upon and within victims' exhumed coffins. Analysis suggests no anomalous properties.[[/footnote]] The presence of said evidence is not indicated from visualization of the gravesites by the unaided eye; superficially, the graves of victims are undisturbed. Law enforcement is therefore ill-equipped to indict an offender, and the Foundation was consulted by Agents Drumel and Cyllus of the UIU for additional support in apprehending a suspect. Foundation zoologists recognized that the pattern of suspected SCP-4027 activity coincided with known migratory routes of indigenous vulture populations. This observation remains a reliable tool for SCP-4027 identification, recapture, and re-containment. @@ @@ ----- @@ @@ [[=]] +++++ Supplemental Documentation [[collapsible show="[ Enter Credentials ]" hide="[ Credentials Accepted ]"]] [[/=]] ##white|s92#c1p94c!r2np## [[html]] <style> div { width: 95%; height: 275px; background: #F4F4F4; overflow-y: auto; -ms-overflow-style: -ms-autohiding-scrollbar; align: center } body { font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; /* 16px * 0.8 */ color: #333; line-height: 141%; } #classified-info, #meme-agent { display: none; } blockquote { border: 1px dashed #999; padding: 0 12.8px; background-color: #f4f4f4; } a { color: #b01; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } .collapsed { display: none; } h4 { font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0; } .image-container.floatright { padding-right: 0; float: right; } tt{ font-family: 'Andale Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 98%; } .collapsed { display: none; } </style> <center> <div style="border: 1px dashed #999; padding: 0 12.8px; background-color: #f4f4f4;"> <br> <b><u>Interview Transcript</b></u><br> <br> <p style="text-align:left"> <b>Interviewed:</b> SCP-4027-1 ("James Cochran")<br> <br> <b>Interviewer(s):</b> Agents Smith and Lombardi <br> <br> <b>Foreword:</b><i> The following is the interrogation of the first proactively identified SCP-4027 instance (shortly after its capture in Haddonfield, New Jersey), as well as the first time that direct communication with SCP-4027 was achieved. Surveillance footage is included to assist in the future identification of SCP-4027. The agents are separated from SCP-4027-1 by a glass pane and speak through a PA system.

We are only hoping for your cooperation. We apologize, James.<br> <br> <i>(SCP-4027-1 protests at the sight of a syringe in the hands of one of the guards. His restraints allow the guards to successfully administer the serum into the right antecubital vein. The serum takes effect quickly, and SCP-4027-1 can be seen becoming somnolent. </i><br> <br> <i>Analysis suggests that at this moment, the serum relaxed the psychological fronts constructed by SCP-4027 in SCP-4027-1, and that communication with SCP-4027 itself was hereafter achieved. The designation henceforth reflects this conclusion.)</i> <br> <br> <b>SCP-4027: </b>Ah. <i>(Looks around) </i> The Foundation. Now you see me. But I have seen you for quite some time. I've known about you and your... what do you call it... containment <i>(chuckles) </i> yes, for quite some time now. And, um, agent? Do you know about me? What is it that you think you know? <br> <br> <b>Agent Smith: </b>We know something about what you are and what you do, but not much about how or why you do it.<br> <br> <b>SCP-4027: </b>Well that's very cute. Oh... if you must know, and I would like you to because well, it's necessary, would be that uh, I need dead bodies to survive. <br> <br> <b>Agent Smith: </b>And what do you do with them?<br> <br> <b>SCP-4027: </b>Oh well they're my sustenance, agent.

Quite some time. So many years, and you have only now discovered me. So I think it is quite reasonable—don't you?—to why, let me go.

Because agent, if I do get out of here—and I assume you think I might —I'm going to come for your family. <i>(To Agent Smith) </i> And yours. Your family. There are a few who are not cremated, is that so? I think so. Actually… Agent Smith is it? Yes. I know your family. I see your family. Right now. Three generations, buried. Ah, what is it, um, First Methodist on Park? Yes. I see them. Oh they look tasty. I may not be able to sustain... may not be able to resist on the other hand, agent. I am going to give you one last chance to let me go, or I can guarantee you will regret this. I'll let you think it over, agent. <br> <br> <i>(SCP-4027 closes the eyes of SCP-4027-1 and seems to relax. Upon opening them again, SCP-4027-1's mannerisms and rapport returns. SCP-4027 is not able to be evoked again in the session.) </i><br> <br> [END LOG]<br> <br> <b>Closing Statements: </b><i>12 days after initial containment, known techniques were no longer able to elicit SCP-4027 from SCP-4027-1. This coincided with the indigenous vulture population's migration from the area.<br> <br> Within that time, it was confirmed that Agent Smith had several family members buried at First Methodist Church on Park Avenue in Haddonfield, New Jersey, and MTF-Mu-15 ("Ecto Cooler") was deployed to investigate and safeguard the graveyard. It is unknown how SCP-4027 knew of the agent's surname and family history.<br> <br> Once there, the MTF reported the sporadic encroachment of large numbers of vultures that perched on nearby structures and watched the team with minimal to no movement. No apparent disturbances had occurred to the grave plots; this was corroborated by the church staff, including the pastor who lives on the property with his family. Ground-penetrating sonography was utilized to non-invasively survey the contents of the plots, and revealed no unexpected findings.<br> <br> Responding to sounds described as "hissing and scratching" emitting from the graveyard with no apparent source (day 11, 0414AM), the team again scanned the graveyard's plots, beginning with Agent Smith's three family members. The images suggested an increased concentration of erratically-shifting, solid mass within. Upon immediate disinterment, the coffins were found empty with markings consistent with those of talons and beaks upon all surfaces.<br> <br> <hr width="80%"> </p> </p> <br> </div> <br> [[/html]] [[/collapsible]] @@ @@ ------ [[footnoteblock]] [[div class="footer-wikiwalk-nav"]] [[=]] << [[[SCP-4026]]] | SCP-4027 | [[[SCP-4028]]] >> [[/=]] [[/div]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box |author=ghosthorses]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box-end]]
