Interview Log:

Location: Site 46

Date: 5 September 2018

Interviewer: Sheldon Katz, Esq. (Sr. Counsel)

Subject: SCP-4799-1

[BEGIN LOG] Katz: [aside] Is this window one-way or two-way? Technician: One-way right now. Touch the green button to switch to two-way if you want to. No, the other green button. Katz: Is the AV set up? Can it, uh, hear me? I usually have them activate the comm link before I come in, so I don’t have to screw around with… [inaudible] SCP-4799-1: You guys need a moment? I’m not going anywhere. Katz: [inaudible] Uh, no. We’re good. Can you see me? SCP-4799-1: No. You have me looking at the reflective side of a one-way mirror. Katz: [clicking sound] That better? SCP-4799-1: Well, I can see you now, but I wouldn’t call that an improvement. I mean, look at you. Have you been sleeping in that suit for the last week? Katz: [long pause]. I’m Sheldon Katz. I’m an attorney. I’m, uh, looking at the parameters of your containment at this facility. SCP-4799-1: My lawyer, huh? Glad that Tort came through, but from the looks of it he must have seen your ad on the side of a bus shelter somewhere. When do I get out? Katz: Sooner than you might expect. That collar you’re wearing. Is that a dog thing? SCP-4799-1: Fuck you, you fat sloppy bigot. Katz: Serious question. The, um, file doesn’t say. What does the collar signify? SCP-4799-1: It’s not mine. It’s a GOC kill collar. My guys disabled it but I couldn’t get it off before the Foundation caught me. Katz: Um, okay. Hold on, just making a note. SCP-4799-1: Don’t I get a phone call or something? Katz: That’s not how this works. So, um, three days before the Foundation had bagged and tagged you, your crew busted you out of GOC Area-22? SCP-4799-1: Yeah. Katz: And how did the GOC manage to catch you in the first place? SCP-4799-1: They fucking cheated. Some kind of knock-out gas while we were in Cupertino. Katz: And when your crew broke you out, did you also recover all of your personal effects? SCP-4799-1: No, they took my transformer and I didn’t get it back… but… I can probably make another one. What's atomic number 43 on the periodic table in this universe? Katz This transformer you're referring to. Look at the screen on the left. No, my left, your right. Are you referring to the object in the photograph? SCP-4799-1: Yeah, that's my rig. By the way, isn’t this the universe where they’re supposed to read me my rights or something? Katz: [Aside, to technician] We’re done here. How do you turn this off? SCP-4799-1: Are you listening to me? Do I get to post bail or something? I have the worst fucking lawyer. Katz: Um, Shock? That's your name, if I read the file correctly? Um, I said I’m a lawyer. I’m not your lawyer. [INTERVIEW ENDS]

Sheldon withdrew his left thumb from his computer's blood oath certification dongle, then reached into a drawer to grab a tissue and press it against the bleeding pinprick on the tip of his thumb. Someday they'd get around to inventing a more sanitary way of encouraging Foundation personnel and their counterparties to observe contracts.

Road trip tomorrow.
