**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9209 is temporarily housed for study at Site-11 in a standard humanoid containment cell. Books and non-mechanical toys are to be provided upon request. Four (4) Lang Reality Anchors are installed externally around the chamber perimeter and are to remain operational at all times.

Personnel seeking direct interaction with SCP-9209 must hold a minimum Level 4 clearance and receive prior approval from the assigned Research Supervisor. Mandatory psychological evaluation is required following all direct interaction. Personnel reporting distress following contact are to be evaluated within 24 hours.

In the event of agitation or breach, all four LRAs are to be activated simultaneously. Reality anchors have demonstrated reliable temporary suppression of SCP-9209's reality-bending capabilities to provide nearby Mobile Task Force units sufficient time to reestablish containment.

**Description:** SCP-9209 is a caucasian male of approximately 14 years of age, standing 1.45 meters in height, with pale skin and shoulder-length dirty blonde hair. It is fully verbal, with fluency in French, Latin, and English. It has demonstrated basic levels of education as well as an acute awareness of historical events across multiple centuries. The entity has four large white feathered wings extending from its upper back, though has not been observed utilizing them for flight. SCP-9209 was recovered wearing clothing consistent with late 19th-century clerical dress, and currently wears cotton garments provided by the Foundation.

SCP-9209 is typically non-aggresive during periods of containment. Outside of scheduled sessions, SCP-9209 has been observed reading, sitting in prolonged silence, and on several occasions standing at the observation glass for extended periods without making contact. It responds selectively to personnel, engaging some individuals in conversation through the glass while ignoring others entirely.

SCP-9209's primary anomalous effect is the ability to manifest involuntary recall of guilt-associated memories. The effect operates without physical contact and does not appear to require deliberate effort. Additional reality-bending capabilities have been observed, including disruption of nearby electrical systems and telekinetic manipulation of objects. The ceiling of these capabilities has not been established, as comprehensive testing is prohibited.

SCP-9209 carries an antique oak Regina music box, designated SCP-9209-1. Attempts to collect this item for study have been met with hostility. When wound, SCP-9209-1 plays a slow, distorted composition that does not correspond to any piece in existing musical databases. Live exposure produces symptoms including anxiety, involuntary recollection of suppressed memories, and in several documented cases, acute psychological crisis accompanied by hyperventilation and loss of motor control. Recordings of SCP-9209-1 exhibit no anomalous properties.

[[tab INTERVIEW LOG 9209-A]]
**DATE:** 06/29/20██

**SUBJECT:** SCP-9209

**INTERVIEWER:** D-3524

**LEAD RESEARCHER:** Dr. Joseph Wheffle

**NOTE:** //SCP-9209 had been unresponsive to all prior contact attempts. Session was conducted using a D-Class intermediary at Dr. Wheffle's recommendation.//

----

**<BEGIN LOG>**

//D-3524 enters. SCP-9209 is seated on the floor.//

**D-3524:** Hello?

//SCP-9209 does not respond.//

**D-3524:** Can you understand me?

**Dr. Wheffle [via intercom]:** It's been non-responsive previously, completely expected. Just keep talking.

**D-3524:** I'm not here to cause any trouble. They just want me to ask you some questions.

**SCP-9209:** Then... ask them.

**D-3524:** What's your name?

**SCP-9209:** I don't... use it anymore.

**D-3524:** What do I call you, then?

//SCP-9209 stands, revealing its wings. D-3524 steps back.//

**SCP-9209:** Whatever you like. It won't... matter for long.

**D-3524:** What are you?

**SCP-9209:** A judge.

**D-3524:** Of what?

**SCP-9209:** Wrongdoers. Reprobates. Sinners.

**D-3524:** Who made you a judge?

**SCP-9209:** The same one who gave me... these.

//SCP-9209 extends its wings fully.//

**SCP-9209:** You may call me... an angel. If you need something to call me.

**D-3524:** How do you.. know that someone is a sinner?

**SCP-9209:** I can see it. The guilt people... carry with them. The things they've buried.

**D-3524:** And then what? When you see it?

**SCP-9209:** I make them... answer for it.

//D-3524 appears afraid to speak.//

**SCP-9209:** My... father... taught me that there is a moral order most people are blind to. Someone must uphold it.

**D-3524:** And you believe him?

**SCP-9209:** I believe... in the order.

//D-3524 does not respond.//

**SCP-9209:** You... are a sinner.

**D-3524:** I'm sorry?

**SCP-9209:** I can see it. You've been hiding it... for a long time.

**D-3524:** I don't know what you're talking about.

**SCP-9209:** Yes... you do.

//D-3524 does not respond.//

**SCP-9209:** What did you do?

**D-3524:** Nothing. I haven't done anything.

**SCP-9209:** That isn't... what I see.

**D-3524:** Then you're seeing wrong.

//SCP-9209 regards D-3524 for a moment. It begins winding SCP-9209-1.//

**D-3524:** What is that? What are you doing?

//SCP-9209-1 begins to play. D-3524 takes a step back.//

**D-3524:** Stop. Turn it off.

//D-3524 presses his hands to his ears. His breathing becomes unsteady.//

**D-3524:** That's not- I didn't have a choice.

**Dr. Wheffle [via intercom]:** D-3524, stay calm-

**D-3524:** I'm telling you I didn't- it wasn't my fault-

//D-3524 stops speaking. Several seconds pass. When he speaks again his voice is different.//

**D-3524:** Oh god.

**SCP-9209:** You... remember.

**D-3524:** Please. Please turn it off.

**SCP-9209:** I can forgive... your sins.

//D-3524 begins to [DATA EXPUNGED]. He collapses to the floor and is terminated from self-inflicted wounds twelve seconds later.//

//SCP-9209-1 stops playing. SCP-9209 sets it carefully on the floor and turns toward the observation glass.//

**SCP-9209:** Send the next one.

//No response from Foundation personnel.//

**SCP-9209:** I said... send the next one.

**Dr. Wheffle [via intercom]:** We're concluding the session.

**SCP-9209:** There are more of them. I know there are more.

**Dr. Wheffle [via intercom]:** The session is over.

//SCP-9209 does not move for approximately forty seconds.//

**SCP-9209:** Send... the next one.

//Overhead lighting in the chamber begins to malfunction. A low vibration is recorded in the walls. Dr. Wheffle orders LRA activation. There is a twelve-second delay while technicians attempt to bring the LRAs online. The containment door ruptures before activation is achieved.//

**<END LOG>**

----

**POST-INCIDENT SUMMARY:** //SCP-9209 moved through three sections of Site-11 over the following thirty minutes. Eleven personnel were approached directly and asked to account for specific actions from their past. Eight of these instances resulted in termination, either self-inflicted or [DATA EXPUNGED] by SCP-9209.//

//Mobile Task Forces arrived on site fourteen minutes following initial breach. The unit was able to activate the onsite SCRANTON Reality Anchor systems, successfully suppressing SCP-9209. SCP-9209 did not resist containment once SRAs were active.//

//Containment procedures were revised immediately following this incident. D-Class personnel are no longer permitted entry under any circumstances.//

[[/tab]]
[[tab INTERVIEW LOG 9209-B]]
//SCP-9209 refused all contact for nine (9) days following Incident 9209-A. On 07/08/20██ it approached the observation glass and repeatedly requested Dr. Wheffle. A session was arranged two days later.//

----

**DATE:** 07/10/20██

**SUBJECT:** SCP-9209

**INTERVIEWER:** Dr. Joseph Wheffle

----

**<BEGIN LOG>**

**Dr. Wheffle:** You asked to speak with me.

**SCP-9209:** I wanted to see you... without the glass.

**Dr. Wheffle:** Why?

**SCP-9209:** I see you differently than the others. I wanted to know if that was still true... up close.

**Dr. Wheffle:** And is it?

//SCP-9209 studies him for a moment without answering.//

**SCP-9209:** You… are not a sinner.

//Dr. Wheffle chooses not to respond.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** You mentioned your father in the last session.

**SCP-9209:** I... remember what I said.

**Dr. Wheffle:** I'd like to understand it better. That moral order he taught you-

**SCP-9209:** I'd rather... you didn't.

**Dr. Wheffle:** It's relevant to-

**SCP-9209:** It isn't something I'm going to discuss with you.

//Dr. Wheffle makes a note. He does not push further.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** Then, your mother. The music box-

**SCP-9209:** No.

**Dr. Wheffle:** I haven't finished the question.

**SCP-9209:** You don't... need to.

**Dr. Wheffle:** Well then. What //would// you like to talk about?

**SCP-9209:** I haven't decided... yet.

//Approximately five minutes pass without exchange.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** The three personnel you didn't terminate during the breach. Why?

**SCP-9209:** They were truthful. They didn't hide... from what I saw.

**Dr. Wheffle:** And for that you forgave them?

**SCP-9209:** Acknowledgement isn't absolution. But it's... a start. You people will never understand that.

**Dr. Wheffle:** Why not?

**SCP-9209:** Because... admitting what you've done means accepting what you are.

//The room stays silent for several seconds.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** Did your father ever acknowledge what he'd done?

**SCP-9209:** He never followed his own philosophy. He hurt everyone. No matter their sins.

**Dr. Wheffle:** Is there someone specific you're referencing?

**SCP-9209:** My mother.

//Dr. Wheffle does not respond immediately. Several seconds pass.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** How do you know you're not doing the same thing?

**SCP-9209:** I see the sins. I don't... invent them.

**Dr. Wheffle:** He taught you what sin looks like. Where did your perception of sin come from, if not from him?

//SCP-9209 grows agitated.//

**SCP-9209:** Get out.

**Dr. Wheffle:** I'm simply asking you to consider-

**SCP-9209:** //(Yelling)// I am not like my father. I will never be like my father. Do not ever suggest something like that again. Get out, or I will make sure you don't leave in one piece.

//Dr. Wheffle writes something down and rises to exit.//

**SCP-9209:** She taught me something different. My mother.

//Dr. Wheffle stops without turning around.//

**SCP-9209:** Nevermind.

//Dr. Wheffle exits without responding.//

[[tab INTERVIEW LOG 9209-C]]
//Conducted three weeks following Interview Log 9209-B. SCP-9209 had declined two scheduled sessions in the interim.//

----

**DATE:** 08/03/20██

**SUBJECT:** SCP-9209

**INTERVIEWER:** Dr. Joseph Wheffle

----

**<BEGIN LOG>**

//Dr. Wheffle enters the chamber. SCP-9209 is already standing in the center of the room, facing the door.//

**SCP-9209:** You were wrong.

**Dr. Wheffle:** About which part?

**SCP-9209:** What you said. That I'm... the same as him. I have been thinking about it, and you're wrong.

**Dr. Wheffle:** I didn't say you were the same as him.

**SCP-9209:** You wanted to.

//Dr. Wheffle sits down.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** All right. Tell me why I was wrong.

//SCP-9209 sits across from him.//

**SCP-9209:** He ignored the moral order for his own... purposes. I don't. The people I have punished were guilty. Every one of them.

**Dr. Wheffle:** How do you know?

**SCP-9209:** I can see it. I have always been able to see it.

**Dr. Wheffle:** So could he.

//A pause.//

**SCP-9209:** ...What?

**Dr. Wheffle:** You said he hurt people who didn't deserve it. But you've also told me he could see guilt. Same as you. So either he was wrong about what he saw, or he saw correctly and chose to hurt them anyway.

//SCP-9209 does not respond immediately.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** Which is it?

**SCP-9209:** He... chose to hurt them. He saw sin where there wasn't any. He twisted what he could see to justify-

**Dr. Wheffle:** How do you know that's not what you do?

**SCP-9209:** Because I can see the difference.

**Dr. Wheffle:** He would have said the same.

//Silence.//

**SCP-9209:** He said sinners were recognizable. That they... carried their sin in the way they held themselves. The way they spoke. The things they were afraid of. He told me I could see it too. That it was a responsibility.

**Dr. Wheffle:** Did he teach you what to look for?

**SCP-9209:** He... yes. When I was young.

**Dr. Wheffle:** Then you're both looking for the same thing.

//A long pause.//

**SCP-9209:** My mother used to tell me stories. At night, when he wasn't there. About people who had done terrible things and... found their way back. She said the guilt a person carried wasn't proof of what they were. She said it was proof that they... knew better. And knowing better was the beginning of being better.

//Dr. Wheffle does not say anything.//

**SCP-9209:** She used to tell me that what I could see wasn't... a sentence. That it could be something else. If I wanted it to be.

**Dr. Wheffle:** What happened to that?

**SCP-9209:** He made an example out of her. To show me what the world was. How he... wanted me to see it.

//Dr. Wheffle contemplates this.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** You lost your mother. You lost whatever chance at being better she gave you. The only thing that survived was what he had built inside you. You were angry, and it was the only thing you knew to respond to it with.

**SCP-9209:** Don't.

**Dr. Wheffle:** I'm not saying it to diminish you. I'm saying it because I think you already know this.

//SCP-9209 does not answer. It looks down at SCP-9209-1 in its hands.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** The music box. It was hers?

//SCP-9209 is very still.//

**SCP-9209:** She played it for me. When I was small. It was a... different song then. Something gentler. I don't remember it anymore. Only this one.

//Dr. Wheffle does not respond.//

**SCP-9209:** I have been so certain. For so long. And I don't...

//SCP-9209 stops.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** You don't what?

**SCP-9209:** I don't know which one of them I've been... listening to. All this time. I thought I knew. I was very sure I knew.

//A very long silence.//

**SCP-9209:** She would not have wanted this. Any of this.

**Dr. Wheffle:** No. I don't think she would have.

//SCP-9209 does not respond. It sets SCP-9209-1 carefully on the floor in front of it and does not pick it back up.//

**SCP-9209:** I’ve been doing this for a very long time. And I don't-

//A long silence.//

**SCP-9209:** If I stopped… What would be left?

//Dr. Wheffle takes a moment before answering.//

**Dr. Wheffle:** I don't know. But I think it's worth finding out.

//The session concludes eight minutes later after no additional exchanges.//
