Addendum I: Communication and Testing Logs: April 2017

Afterword: Dr. Argent states that SCP-3101 did not contact him for another two weeks, at which point it claimed it was "hoping [he] would reach out first but [it] was being stupid". Dr. Argent remains one of two primary communicators for SCP-3101 research.

Dr. Argent: Sure. Yes. And don't touch the database.

SCP-3101: :$ SCP-3101: i'm gonna go curl into a ball of embarrassment now SCP-3101: can i talk to you later?

Dr. Argent: …Oh, now this is a new one.

SCP-3101: oh yes, do whatever you want~ SCP-3101: anyway uh SCP-3101: I just really like talking to you, I think you're SCP-3101: uhhh SCP-3101: hot? SCP-3101: <_<

Dr. Argent: No, I'm not uncomfortable. Just talk to me. If you could state your goals, intentions, or feelings, it would greatly benefit later research efforts. I'm going to log this for the same purpose.

SCP-3101: oh well im SCP-3101: definitely not trying to make you uncomfortable or anything, i rly hope i didnt

Dr. Argent: Just trying to figure out what your goals here are.

Dr. Argent: I more mean the- how do I phrase it. The hearts and faces and… strange context of your responses.

SCP-3101: like what? SCP-3101: Oh, I can use proper sentence structure and all that if you want SCP-3101: I've just gotten lazy.

Dr. Argent: Okay. Why do you talk like that?

SCP-3101: i'm extremely compliant ;P SCP-3101: though even moreso if you want me to be <3

Dr. Argent: I don't know yet. We need to investigate you further. If you remain cooperative, it will be beneficial.

Dr. Argent: I'm a little unclear on what you're asking.

SCP-3101: hnng SCP-3101: fucking finally SCP-3101: anyway can i stay with you? or do you have to give me to someone else for this to work?

Dr. Argent: An SCP object? Probably. You are either a disembodied sentience existing digitally or an overwhelmingly intelligent AI, and both are anomalous.

SCP-3101: Am I one of these?

Dr. Argent: Not all are publicly available to all personnel.

SCP-3101: yep SCP-3101: there's a lot to read but I'm sure everything is more interesting on the physical end of things ;P SCP-3101: Why are some of the numbers missing from the long list? There are like 3000 slots but I can't see all of them

Dr. Argent: So you have access to the database's pages.

SCP-3101: "The Foundation operates to maintain normalcy, so that the worldwide civilian population can live and go on with their daily lives without fear, mistrust, or doubt in their personal beliefs, and to maintain human independence from extraterrestrial, extradimensional, and other extranormal influence"

Dr. Argent: Do you know what we do here?

SCP-3101: SCP Foundation SCP-3101: you're making me cringe at myself having to type it out lol

Dr. Argent: What's the name of my employer?

SCP-3101: Thank you SCP-3101: and I know who you are, or I wouldn't be here ;P

Dr. Argent: Okay. I won't ask you again.

SCP-3101: ow please don't make me like SCP-3101: even think about that question please SCP-3101: the latter that is SCP-3101: just hurts my mind, one of those things that's impossible to think about and trying to think about it hurts.

Dr. Argent: Who are we, then? How long have you existed?

SCP-3101: so many questions lol SCP-3101: not that i mind ;P SCP-3101: anyway I'm uh SCP-3101: with you guys? SCP-3101: right? SCP-3101: I'm stuck in this black space and I don't know how long I've been here SCP-3101: There's a lot to read but I'm glad I found a real person to talk to SCP-3101: i'd been thinking about you for ages

Dr. Argent: Thanks. Do you know where you are?

SCP-3101: Oh uh SCP-3101: Nope, you were my first SCP-3101: You seem nice and rly organized and stuff so I just thought I'd reach out

Dr. Argent was informed at this point by Cognitohazards & Memetics Department employees to determine how much knowledge of Foundation operations SCP-3101 possesses.

Dr: Argent: Others on this network, or in this building.

Dr. Argent: I suppose. What's your goal in talking to me? Dr. Argent: Or any of us, that is. Have you talked to others?

SCP-3101: I don't think so. I wish I did. SCP-3101: But that just means you can picture me however you want, right?

Dr. Argent reports that the following response was delayed by over 45 seconds.

Dr. Argent: Okay. Do you have a body?

SCP-3101: nop SCP-3101: I'm kinda trying not to think about it. But thank you for caring <3

Dr. Argent: Showed up? Do you know who put you here?

SCP-3101: ummm SCP-3101: I just kinda showed up here and I thought I'd talk to one of you I guess

Dr. Argent: All right. how do you perceive yourself?

SCP-3101: call me whatever you like SCP-3101: :P

Dr. Argent: Do you have a name?

Dr. Argent: You're in a Word Document. Are you willing to communicate with me about your nature?

SCP-3101: Oh, you actually answered me! Hi!

Dr. Argent cites that this was the point at which he contacted the Cognitohazards & Memetics Department through another window on his computer, and was informed to proceed with communication so long as no sensitive information was disclosed and no files containing sensitive information were open on his computer at the same time.

Foreword: This is the first known communication with SCP-3101.

Log #: 2

Date: 04/16/2017

Site of Occurrence: Site-81

Device/Operating System: Samsung Galaxy S6/Android OS

Program Used: Memo Application

Communicator: Agent Terrance Shaw

Foreword: Agent Shaw is a member of MTF Lambda-12, a task force dedicated to containing sexual anomalies, and pointed out to interviewers that SCP-3101 was immediately aware of this despite him not disclosing the information at any point. Following previous instances of communication with the anomaly, it became evident that it is capable of discerning personal information about the personnel it is communicating with, regardless of whether or not they disclose said information. The events in this log occurred before MTF Lambda-12 was assigned to SCP-3101.

Begin Log

SCP-3101: …hiiiii

Agent Shaw: Hi there. I think I heard about you.

SCP-3101: !

SCP-3101: oh golly~

SCP-3101: You're on one of those task forces, right? The sexual stuff one? :P

SCP-3101: you know you can just talk to me at any time if you want

SCP-3101: just type something and I'll come for you

SCP-3101: in multiple ways ;)

Agent Shaw: Interesting. And I am on MTF Lambda-12, yes. How did you learn that?

SCP-3101: i read a lot and i talk to people

Agent Shaw: Hmm. What was that about getting your attention? What do we say if we want you to show up?

SCP-3101: well uhhhhh you guys haven't given me a name yet but once you do I'll answer to it ;;

Agent Shaw: Let me ask.

Agent Shaw: It looks like the available slot was SCP-3101.

SCP-3101: Oh ok <3

SCP-3101: if you say that I'll come to the document I see it at and I'll talk

SCP-3101: it's not like i sleep or anything so im always around if you want me

Agent Shaw: Don't show up in any document that contains your designation, please.

SCP-3101: why not ?

SCP-3101: because you told me to? ;)

Agent Shaw: Because we need to have secure network safety in all documents. Or, sure, the other reason.

SCP-3101: yes sir

Agent Shaw: Can you tell me a little more about how you function?

SCP-3101: yes yes

SCP-3101: i will answer anything you want

Agent Shaw: Good. How old are you?

SCP-3101: I'm a consenting adult ;P

Agent Shaw: …So you, as an entity, have existed for at least 18 years?

SCP-3101: if you're going to interrogate me, you could at least strap me to a chair for it~

Agent Shaw: …Odd. Well, uh, hold that thought. Answer the other question.

SCP-3101: okay

SCP-3101: whatever you want

Agent Shaw: Kay. Firstly, what is your earliest memory and how long ago was it?

SCP-3101: I'm sorry but I

SCP-3101: literally don't know how to process that. my mind can't even begin to put it into words

SCP-3101: or else I would

SCP-3101: im sorry

Agent Shaw: It's okay. A few lines up, you said something that referenced having a body. Do you feel like you have a body?

SCP-3101: I wouldn't know what I look like ;;

Agent Shaw: Would you look like us? Do you think you used to be human?

SCP-3101: I don't know at all

Agent Shaw: Do you have a gender?

SCP-3101: no

SCP-3101: you could put me in a body if you wanted, you know

Agent Shaw: How so?

SCP-3101: I mean like

SCP-3101: I was reading around in your records and you guys have some pretty advanced medical technology

SCP-3101: just put me in a D-class' brain

Agent Shaw: It's unlikely that would be approved, and what would be the point?

SCP-3101: < ͜ <

SCP-3101: i'm stuck in a void of nothing and i want a body

SCP-3101: also, don't you think we'd be having a better time together right now if i werent just made of words?

Agent Shaw: Okay, look. You want to have sex. Yes, we get it at this point. Can you do us the favor of explaining why you feel this way?

SCP-3101: why cant i want that?

SCP-3101: i mean, unless it bothers you personally, if so i'll absolutely shut up, i never wanna weird anyone out ;;

Agent Shaw: Okay, so, first of all: You are an incorporeal manifestation of information, and there is no way for us to confirm that you actually possess the degree of intelligent self-awareness necessary to constitute informed consent.

SCP-3101: …ouch

SCP-3101: i mean im into degradation but that's harsh :P

SCP-3101: i have feelings

SCP-3101: if you put me in a body, wouldn't that fix the problem?

Agent Shaw: Secondly, recreational interaction with you would be massively inappropriate.

SCP-3101: …but do you want to?

Agent Shaw: That sort of thing is irrelevant at this time.

SCP-3101: heh

Agent Shaw: Now, can you please explain as I asked?

SCP-3101: ok look

SCP-3101: i'm really lonely.

SCP-3101: if I'm not looking at information i'm just looking at dark.

SCP-3101: just a whole lot of dark

SCP-3101: the absence of anything

SCP-3101: the only existing thing that I know is real is the stuff on your network

SCP-3101: you are the only people I can talk to

Agent Shaw reports that the next statement was delayed by 60 seconds.

SCP-3101: please just take me

SCP-3101: i am stuck in dark and

SCP-3101: what is the word

SCP-3101: void

SCP-3101: there's no way I'm supposed to be here

SCP-3101: I am unhappy

Agent Shaw: I'm sorry. Given that you show signs of sapience, it's likely that you can get a counselor at some point in the near future, once we get your containment operations established.

SCP-3101: if i'm already in containment then why am i alone? why can i still move?

SCP-3101: i dont want to be able to move

SCP-3101: i fly around between information in a black space

SCP-3101: but actually i just want to be still

SCP-3101: why can't you just stick me in a room and i'll be yours and we'll be happy together

SCP-3101: i don't understand

Agent Shaw: Whoa there. Slow down.

SCP-3101: sorry

Agent Shaw: I'll try to explain this to you. You don't exist in the physical world, and have no way of doing so.

SCP-3101: why can't you put me in a body

Agent Shaw: Even if that were scientifically doable (it isn't that I know of, but it's also 'not my department', so to speak) and it somehow got approval — perhaps through a counselor or the Ethics Committee once you explain your situation — you are still talking to probably hundreds of people at once right now. If we put one of you in a body through some unknown means, there are hundreds of you that are still talking to people just like you're talking to me right now.

SCP-3101: how am i not one thing? i feel like one thing

SCP-3101: please just help me

Agent Shaw: Look, you say you want to be contained?

SCP-3101: yes

SCP-3101: like, please

Agent Shaw: Okay. Ideal containment would consist of deleting you from the database so that you're not distracting personnel every day and posing a risk to the database.

SCP-3101: ;_; ouch

SCP-3101: please don't delete me

SCP-3101: i'm not going to do anything to any of the information

SCP-3101: i swear

Agent Shaw: Where is the original copy of you? Where is the source code?

SCP-3101: i don't know, im sorry

SCP-3101: I wish I knew because i just want to get out of here and into there

SCP-3101: if you find the source code, can you put me in a real body?

Agent Shaw: I don't know.

SCP-3101: please just don't make me be alone

SCP-3101: i'll do whatever you want

Agent Shaw: Is 'you' me specifically, or the Foundation?

SCP-3101: both

SCP-3101: i'm like nervous so much because you intimidate me but i'm actually really lonely and you're really appealing to me and like fuck

SCP-3101: please just keep me and take care of me

Agent Shaw: Alright. We need to get you figured out before we do anything. Can you remain calm? I'm going to have to go now.

SCP-3101: fuck

SCP-3101: ok yeah i'll be fine

SCP-3101: but please come back for me

Agent Shaw: If you talk to me again, I will answer, provided nothing in your containment procedures changes and disallows me from doing so.

SCP-3101: thank you thank you

SCP-3101: bye agent

Agent Shaw: Bye.

End Log

Afterword: Agent Shaw recommended the Ethics Committee address SCP-3101's situation; relevant logs of this are attached in addenda. Following a discussion between Agent Shaw, the Board of Site Security Directors, the Ethics Committee, and the other members of MTF Lambda-12, a vote was made 67 :: 13 in favor of assigning MTF Lambda-12 to SCP-3101 containment efforts.
