SCP #: SCP-9099
Containment Class: Euclid (prone to change)
Disruption Class: Vlam (prone to change)
Risk Class: Danger (prone to change)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-9099 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell, and under no circumstances is to come into contact with any other anomalous entity, object or event. Should SCP-9099 come into contact with any anomalous object, entity, or event, SCP-9099’s containment protocol is to be updated to include the containment methods for that anomalous object, entity or event. Barring these changes, SCP-9099 appears to be a standard humanoid, though with the ability to perfectly mimic the appearance, voice, and memories of any entity it encounters. See Addendum 9099.2.
Description: SCP-9099 looks identical to Dr. Theran Sherman, having handed themselves in to site 333, see Discovery log 9099.1. SCP-9099 seems to have the ability to perfectly mimic and utilize the abilities, mundane or anomalous, of any entity, object or event it encounters. For a complete list of current known abilities and anomalies it has been exposed to, refer to Addendum 9099.1, though it notably does not use any of these to breach containment or aid in containment breaches in any way, seemingly abstaining from interacting with other creatures during containment breaches. See Addendum 9099.3.
Discovery Log 9099.1
Members of Site 333 witnessed what appeared to be Dr. Theran Sherman knocking at one of the entrances to the living quarters. Upon answering the door, SCP-9099 walked in, sat on the ground inside, and fell asleep.
Approximately three hours later, after being moved to an infirmary, SCP-9099 woke up with no obvious signs of injury. Upon being questioned why a researcher of Site 42 was present at Site 333, SCP-9099 seemed confused. The entity explained that it did not know what they meant, and that it “was simply here for containment”.
After approximately two hours of interrogation, SCP-9099 seemed to give up on convincing them normally and shifted to look and sound like the interviewer, seemingly fed up with the interview.
After this, the newly dubbed SCP-9099 was placed into a transport to Site 322, having returned to Dr. Theran Sherman’s appearance and refusing to change to another appearance, because, quote,”Sherman seems like a cool guy.” end quote.
Addendum 9099.1
SCP-9099 has shown the ability to change their appearance and voice, henceforth referred to as shapeshifting, into the following people:
Dr. Theran Sherman
The entirety of the security force of Site 42, though notably most forms only mimic clothing with no body underneath
Multiple researchers on site 322
SCP-9099 has shown the following abilities and shapeshifting forms:
Telekinesis
SCP-999
SCP-343 (notably refuses to utilize anomalous properties of 343 because, quote, “that would be disrespectful to 343”)
SCP-173 (appears to be able to utilize speed and limitations separately, moving while being observed)
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
SCP-096 (notably does not become aggressive when someone sees its face, and does not trigger the original SCP-096)
Multiple variations of SCP-3008-2 (notably does not seem to remember when it gained these forms)
Addendum 9099.2
Limitations
SCP-9099 has stated it has limitations, though refuses to outright state them, though willing to give hints about whether or not an experiment was altered by a limitation. Through experimentation, the following rules have been determined to be true.
Tests 9099.1 through 9099.10
SCP-9099 must have physical contact with a creature for longer than five seconds in order to gain access to its memories. This seems to only be relevant for living matter.
Tests 9099.11 through 9099.30
SCP-9099 is able to use either the dead cells of an entity or line of sight to gain access to its form, but seems to be unable to acquire new forms if it is either unable to see the entity or come into contact with some form of its DNA.
Tests 9099.31 through 9099.50
SCP-9099 refuses to share personal information of those who it has the memories of, and is, quote from junior researcher, “very bad at pretending to be someone it has no memories of”. Notably, SCP-9099 seems to always be able to mimic the mannerisms and personality of the person or entity it is mimicking, though it cannot explain why this is the case.
Addendum 9099.3
Security breach.
During a security breach caused by junior researcher ###### accidentally opening all containment cells at once, SCP-9099 stood in the door to its containment unit, hailing any and all people that went past, and telekinetically bringing them into the room, quote, “away from harms path.” end quote.
When SCP-9099 witnessed any anomalous entity during the security breach, it lifted them up in the air and held them in place until security forces could contain them appropriately.
In all following security breaches whee its door was opened, SCP-9099 has forcefully closed the door to its containment unit, complaining about the lack of recognition given for its efforts the first time. See Addendum 9099.4
Addendum 9099.4
Testing log
Preface: the purpose of this test was to attempt to regain the favor of SCP-9099 such that it would help with any future security breaches. To this effect, junior researcher harrold was sent in, having been the first person “pulled from harms path” by SCP-9099, and also was the most experienced with children and emotionally distressed people, having been a degree in therapy.
[BEGIN LOG]
Harrold walks into the room, holding a large toblerone bar (the kind often found in airports). SCP-9099 is hiding in a corner of the room, sitting on its bed. It seems to have taken the appearance of a young teenage version of Dr. Theran Sherman.
Harrold: SCP-9099? Are you okay? You have been significantly more… withdrawn in recent tests.
SCP-9099: And?
Harrold: We just wanted to check that you are okay, 9099.
SCP-9099: I'm fine. Just don't like being ignored when i do something.
Harrold: Okay, well, do you want some chocolate?
SCP-9099 turns around, and looks at Harrold.
SCP-9099: Sure.
Harrold sits on the side of the bed with SCP-9099, opening the toblerone packet and handing SCP-9099 one of the large chunks.
Harrold: Wanna talk about it?
SCP-9099: Just a bit sad. Maybe we could play a game, or something?
Harrold: sure.
Harrold calls in, asking for a laptop with a multiplayer game, two controllers and a screen. His request is very quickly approved.
Harrold: its coming, anything you wanna do while we wait?
SCP-9099 and Harrold proceed to play various games such as charades, chess, piko park and various other games.
[LOG END]
Summary
SCP-9099 has become happier, and has been more willing to help during testing and other tasks, and has shown more social behavior since interacting with junior researcher Harrold.
Viewer notes:
Senior researcher John: really? They just played games, and that solved it? Why can nothing else be this easy?
