O5-█: "Sure, all of this information is interesting but nothing I couldnt figure out myself, I want to know why he's here... Display video: AAB_Origins."
File Selected: Video AAB_Origins...
Displaying on: Monitor 2.
*The slight light of a monitor begins to fill the darkened room, the face of the user clearly illuminated, a face not seen by many, and even less who have lived. The click of a speaker beginning to sound is heard as a video starts to play on the newly activated monitor*

...


Security Camera 1 - Chemistry Room 2b
14:23:53 - 12/24/████


Alex: "Alright class, Please take a seat and direct your eyes to the front of the room. Today we will be preforming a lab, so listening and paying attention to the steps will be very important.

*The Professor, Alex Bowman, takes a step to the left as the subtle hum of the projector begins to sound throughout the room*

Alex: "Ok, here you can see this lab will involve heating up certain materials to test physical and chemical features of certain elements found within them, and identifying unknown substances through similar characteristics. Please make your way over and grab a pair of safety goggles the lab set found over there"

*Alex points to the back corner of the classroom, where several prepared lab set ups are sitting, each numbered 1-20, As the first student gets up the lights go dark and the ominous blue glow of the emergency lights come on throughout the halls. A voice begins to sound over the intercom*

"Attention staff, please begin intruder protocols, an unidentified person is attempting to enter the school grounds."

*Alex takes the class to the chemical closet and closes the door, sitting there in an eerie silence until the very distinct sound of droplets hitting the group comes from the ceiling above them, Alex looks towards the tiled ceiling to see a figure in nothing but a coat who seems to be covered in a black mucus. Once noticed he rises up into the ceiling just to reappear behind Alex, The figure places his hand upon the shoulder of Alex where at that point his vision goes dark, the only sound being that of the door being crashed open and a voice yelling 'RUN, GO GO GO! GET OUT OF HERE, SCP-106 CONTAINMENT BREACH CONFIRMED, KIDS ARE OUT OF THE CLOSET SAFE, TEACHER ISNT HERE!'*

...

Alex: "Ughh, my head... What is this on my arm, I've never seen any substance quite like it, its almost interesting, yet stinging like a bitch. More importantly, where am I?
*Alex stands up and opens his eyes further, looking around at the 8 passage split that surrounds him. He scrapes the substance off his arm to reveal the hair previously there corroded off, He then choses a random one and begins to take a step forward, eventually coming across a note on the ground, bending down and reading it he says the contents out loud.*

"Operational Security Update
To: Commander "███████"

Ascension:​
7 15 1 2 19 7 25 6 13 6 7 15 14 0​

-██-█"

*Alex puts the note down and continues down the hallway barely able to see 2 feet in front of him with this darkness, all of a sudden his legs fall weightless under him as he falls through the floor. He feels himself falling for a second or two before an audible thump is heard of him hitting the ground, He gets up and looks around, He is in a brightly lit room, in the center a rounded table, above the table is a sign which reads "Council Meeting Room", He looks around a bit finding several illegible documents and broken computer screens. Eventually he comes across the door to the room, and attempts to press the button attached, at which point he begins to fall through the floor with a dark laughter following the wind past his ears. Alex eventually hits the floor once again but this time in a broken medical facility, however this place is not as unknown to Alex, for this is the room where his mother, Ella Bowman, died the previous year.*
Alex: "Wha... Where am I... Wait a second, room 17... I know this room."

*His thoughts are cut off by the beeping of a heartbeat sensor behind the curtain next to him. Alex confused pulls it back to reveal a human shape under a blanket.*

"Mom?"
...
"Is that really you?"
...
"Please... Answer me!"
...
*Alex's eyes become more reflective as beads of tears form around them, covering them in a slight glaze of reflected light. In a desperate rush Alex pulls the sheets off the bed to reveal the same black figure who had sent him here, his eyes glowing more white then a full moon in the darkest night. Alex attempts to make a run for it before getting locked into the room with the figure walking towards him, arm outstreched.*

Alex: "NO, YOU MONSTER... YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS... YOU'LL... PAY......"

...​

*Alex shortly blacks out shortly after, waking up only in what appears to be a hospital, he has the classic hospital gown on and hears the heart monitor carefully tracking his heartbeats, the beep growing ever more present in the thoughts of Alex. As he slowly opens his eyes he see's a logo on the wall followed by some text; "Secure. Contain. Protect."."

Alex: "Ugh, where am I... 'Secure, Contain, Protect'?
*Alex calls out to a doctor talking to a nurse in the center of the room*
"Excuse me! Hello! Over here!

*The doctor notices the request with a slight head movement up, then beginning to move in the direction of Alex.
Doctor: "Ah, your awake. Are you feeling alright?"
*The doctor shines a small light into the eyes of Alex keeping note of the tracking of his eyes.*

Alex: "I'm fine... But where am I"

Doctor: "That isn't my place to tell you, but you'll learn soon enough, do you feel well enough to walk?"
*A suited man followed by 2 militants come up the bed and grab the restraints of Alex, with not a single word said Alex was blindfolded and began to be dragged away.*



Alpha-1 Operative 1: "Throw him in the chair, the Inspector wanted to talk to him for some reason, something about the containment breach over at site-56 with 106."

Alpha-1 Operative 2: "Heh, really? Thought that old fuck couldnt get that far anymore."

*Alex feels a thud as his back comes into contact with the back of a chair with some force, the chair leans back slightly but falls back forward, a loud crash of the legs hitting the ground is heard. A few moments later the blindfold is removed and he sees a suited man sitting on the other side of a desk, his face almost completely covered.*

O5-█: "Good evening sir, I wanted to ask you about you recent experience and how you came to end up here, you mind telling me the story?"


Alex: "I was in the middle of explaining a lab to my students when we were told to act like an intruder was entering, next thing I know I look up and see some old guy and black out, I woke up in this gruesome place of 8 corridors, maybe it was 9, I cant remember. I do remember seeing a piece of paper here, It mentioned something about ascension. I ended up in the past somehow, where my mom had died, the same figure was there and when he started to come towards me I blacked out and woke up here"

O5-█: "I see, how about this, your a smart fellow. Hell you have to be otherwise you would never be a teacher. I'm going to offer you this once and only once, a job researching here, you'll get to encounter more beings like that old guy, if you're interested then say yes, if not then say no. What do you say?"

Alex: "I... I uhh..."

*Alex takes a minute to think, a new exciting life with the unknown, or the boring usual. after about 5 minutes he responds*
"I accept, where will I be going now?"

O5-█: "Lets just ask you this, You ever been to Canada?"


*Alex was transferred to Site-56, received some training and put into MTF Nu-7, his time here would be short however, as at the rank of LCPL the commanders of MTF Alpha-1 would notice his new abilities within the combative side of things, they would take him and offer him a spot in the task force, he would be trained and prepared to work alongside the other Alpha-1 and under the supreme command of the O5*

Alpha-1 Commander: "Congrats, you passed the training. Time for the most exciting part private, your codename. What's it going to be?"


Alex: "Apothicon, sir."

Alpha-1 Commander: "Interesting, good tone to it though, welcome to the task force Apothicon."

"Apothicon": "Thank you sir. I'll report to my new station now sir."


*Alex's time in Alpha-1 would be short lived, as after a few days he received a promotion to Specialist, shortly after he was stripped of his name, rank, uniform, and most of all... his memories. Alex would be asleep for 56 hours before waking up in a new bed never before seen by him, he see's a document on his bed side reading"

"Greeting! And welcome to the Site-56 Scientific Department Mr. John Iceland. Hopefully you enjoy your job here in the foundation. attached you will find your new keycard and a ticket to receive your new lab coat from the laundry department. Remember, Secure, Contain, Protect."

Alex: "Iceland, John? I don't remember working here, actually I don't remember anything, I guess I musta just drank too much last night or something, but according to this I have a job here as a Sr. Researcher and go by John Iceland, huh, I kind of like it... I guess I should since its been my name. Well, I should get this new lab coat and start learning my way around then."

*Alex goes to the laundry department and picks up a new lab coat with a name-tag stitched onto it with the name of "John Iceland". Although he doesnt know it this was clearly a false name given to him by the O5 after his time in Alpha-1. Alex believed it and began working on a new project, testing with SCP-3350 "Shape up"*


Iceland: "Please insert the DVD-ROM into the disc player, and turn on the connected monitor D-Class."

*The subtle hum of a machine sounds as the DVD-ROM reader begins to read the DVD-ROM that is SCP-3350, a small disc that have disc labels displaying a white background along with the phrase "Shape Up" inscribed over top in black Helvetica font. SCP File found here. Once turned on the SCP has no effect on the D-Class, this is due to the D-Class being 17, resulted by with a falsified age on his prison record prior to being offered the D-Class position.*

D-5462 Joseph: "There's no effect, just a blank screen. What next?"

Iceland: "Nothing? That's impossible, according to the record it should be taking effect on you. Let me try something."


*Iceland begins to fiddle with the containment controls, all of a sudden a loud beep as a button is pressed, an announcement within the chamber plays*
"Emergency Termination Activated, Sealing chamber and proceeding with nerve agent designated NA-531B in 3. 2. 1."


*A hazy gas fills the chamber before the D-Class drops dead on the floor. Iceland stares wide eyes but notices the monitor remained on, curious he clears the room of any agent and enters the chamber, he takes 5 steps towards the monitor, mere inches away before the screen begins to display a white background overlaid with a black outlined silhouette of Iceland. After a period of 10 seconds the screen changes and displays the phrase "You may now change your shape". Now designated SCP-3350-1, Iceland reaches to the top of his head and pulls his hair in 2 locations, instantly 2 cat ears began to form and raise almost like magic, staring in horror of the change he runs out of the chamber and orders the monitor be shot, the order is executed swiftly by the escort and the SCP's effects stop effecting Iceland. He runs to the nearest restroom, looking into the mirror, now looking half cat half man. He considers resigning but realizes its too late, he returns to his office where a letter is found. He opens the letter and reads the message; "Job Proposal: You, Iceland; John, are now offered a position as an Executive Researcher here at Site-56... Contact the current Director of Research if interested."


Iceland: "Thank you again for the chance Director, I'm sure I wont disappoint!"

Director A.R.A.: "I'm sure you wont Iceland, please find me for any questions. Best be off to work now don't you think?"

Iceland: "Of course Director, I'll get right on that. Until next time."


*With his new position, clearance, and card, Iceland began to make a name for himself within the department, although being denied once he would one day wake up like any other day. Except he had an Idea, a new device created by the GOC claimed to be able to destroy any anomaly, he wondered if 096 was also affected, he received permission from the current O5-4 "The Tempest' and invited the GOC over for this test.*

O5-4: "Open the security camera footage of the termination of that shy guy again, I'm quite interested in seeing how this new "Anomaly Destruction Beam" is able to do it."

Displaying file: Security Camera Footage; 096 Termination"



Security Camera 4: SCP-096 Containment Chamber
12/24/████
23:12:1424


Iceland: "This will be a fun termination trial, eh Inspector?"

O5-4 "The Tempest": "If it works it sure would be a Christmas gift alright Iceland, I believe we have everything set up with GOC's new 'Anomaly Destruction Beam' to get this underway, if your ready Executive lets begin."

Iceland: "I believe so as well Inspector, lets get it started."
*Iceland reaches over to the intercom of SCP-096's Chamber, within the main chamber are 2 UNGOC Operatives and SCP-096 Pacified and Restrainted.*
Iceland: "You may begin to beam the SCP Item whenever ready operatives, good luck."

*The 2 GOC Operatives begin to beam the SCP Item, once hit by the crimson beam 096 began to silent down and stop crying, until eventually coming to complete silence... Further testing show the death of SCP-096*

Iceland: "We did it! Haha! Inspector, you were here to see it as well, firsthand... I need to get this report written and sent to you guys ASAP. Lets get everything here cleaned and get on our way then Inspector?"

O5-4 "The Tempest": "I'm quite impressed Executive, you've accomplished Dr. Dan's longtime goal, We can finally have that crazy man killed and away from the foundations hands. I expect this report to be finished within the day Executive, other then that I will be leaving, good day Executive."

Iceland: "Good day Inspector. And of course, this report will be written as soon as I get to my office."

*The Overseer and Iceland take the standard path back to Light Containment Zone of the site, with them splitting up at Personnel Wing as the Overseer headed to Floor 3, and Iceland his office. Once Iceland reached his office he wrote the report on the termination trial, and uploaded it to SCRIPTNET, along with physical copies being handed to O5-4 and Site Director*

*Iceland would enter his office just like any other day of the week. Except one oddity did occur on this day, there was a letter marked by a mysterious symbol on his desk. Iceland would tear open the envelop and unfold the piece of paper. It read:

From: ██-█
To: John Iceland
Subject: Application verdict

- ██-█

*With this Iceland was no longer an executive researcher, but instead the director of researcher, in the same seat as the person who promoted him earlier, and now he had decisions to make, a department and team to run, and experience to gain... His further positions would only be gained through merit and hard work dedicated to improvement of himself and his work ethics, He would have his ups and his downs before reaching any higher position. After some time he applied for the position of Site Advisor over Site-56, with the verdict being denied several times... However he will remain persistent, and hopes one day to be someone people look up to as a leader and a friend. He would work alongside Randal Murphy until his eventual promotion to Ethics Member, leaving him the sole director in a new world of leadership.*

...
*Iceland woke up to the sound of a containment breach alarm, his heart racing and his eyes still tired. I quickly grabbed his radio and asked the question of what SCP's were breached. He was met with a terrifying response.*

Iceland: "Hello? Is anyone there? Get me a report on what's breached containment this time!"

E-11 Operative: "SCP Item #'s 7722, 076-2, 106, and 079 sir. We are attempting containment but it proves to be quite difficult due to the nature of what's out. I recommend getting somewhere safe Director."

Iceland: *To Self* We really need more budget on this site, because these are just too common. I should get to the E.O.C. before shit hits the fan."


*Iceland begin to get out of bed and quickly put his suit on, shortly after he grabs is keycard and runs out of his office the coat on his back trailing behind in the wind. He makes his way through the site avoiding reported locations of the containment breach and gets to the entrance zone... However something is off, The hallways are dark and the air thick. Iceland takes a flashlight out and looks for the lightswitch, locating it within a few seconds. He walks up to the lightswitch and flicks it to the on position, the distinct click sounding as normal... However, the hallway remains shrouded in darkness, without a slight pattering coming from the other side of the door leading to the EOC...

Iceland walks up to the door, locked behind a clear Level 4 identification scanner, and presses his red keycard up to the reader and awaits the subtle tone of approval as the door's controls unlock. Iceland opens the door to see what the pattering is about and notices a small cat on the ground, a black and white tuxedo cat at that. Iceland walks up to the cat and holds out his hand, the cat walks up to Iceland and sniffs at his pointer finger, before rubbing up against the arm of Iceland. The cat looks up to Iceland and notices the ears on top of his head and proceeds to give a look of curiosity.*

Pictured: A screenshot from Iceland's Bodycam footage, taken when SCP-9413's file was created*
Iceland: "Hi there little fella, How did you get in here?"

*Iceland looks up at the vent in the room, knocked wide open with a weapon teetering over the edge, the weapon, an AK-12, is the distinct weapon of the Chaos Insurgency*

Iceland: "Oh I see, you followed one of those damned Insurgents in here did you? Come here, I'll get you safe."

*The black and white coat of the cat gets messed as Iceland reaches underneath to pick the cat up, it quickly retreats backward 3 steps. As Iceland creeps closer the cat retreats into the vents it came from, the only evidence its leaving being the pattering of its paws on the metal vent growing ever more silent.*

*Iceland walked into the Heavy Containment with his destination being the administrative center, following him was 2 E-11 guards. Iceland was wearing a SCRAMBLE Headset from a prior SCP-096 test he preformed on his head. When he approached the Administrative center he walked up to the keycard scanner with his card and scanned it, hearing the approving tone of the door controls unlocked. As he selects the open input, the eerie creaking of the old metal door sounds throughout the halls as the door opens to the administrative center. As he walks in he notices the Hume levels of the room are higher then normal, he calls for an E-11 squad to sweep the area. After the sweep the Commanding Officer of the squad came up to Iceland to give a report, The only thing found in the room was a black and white tuxedo cat, the same one from before.*

Iceland: "How'd you get in here? There isn't any vents and the only way in or out is the door, which you cant open... An Anomalous cat?"

*Iceland spent the better part of the next 2 months researching on and evaluating the new SCP Item recently contained since the day it was found and secured in the administrative area. After proper testing and documentation, a new SCP File was written for SCP-9413, As shown below.

Item #: 9413
Object Class: Safe
855ab3164c8019571b1705914c3687a5.png


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-9413 is to be kept at Site-56 under the watch of the current Director of Research ████ ██████, SCP-9413 is to be fed twice a day with any name brand cat food, and is to be given .5-1 liters of water per every other day. Director ███████ is responsible for keeping track of SCP-9413's location and well-being at all times while on site.

Description: SCP-9413 "Maxwell" is a black and white tuxedo cat then appears to be laying down most of the day ever rarely getting up. SCP-9413 has an anomalous property where it can appear in the same room as a person of its choosing. It appears this person it has chosen to connect to Director of Research ████ ███████ at Site-56. SCP-9413 other then its anomalous properties towards the Director is otherwise a completely normal cat. SCP-9413 is extremely docile, only showing minor signs of aggression to those that injure or insult the SCP Item.


How SCP-9413 travels to the room of the Research Director is unknown at this very moment, but it appears to have taken a liking to sitting perched on the shoulder of the director at almost all hours of the day.

Not sure why so many people felt the need to leave shitty comments on this post. The fact this guy has written just short of three thousand words of RP content here means he has contributed more to RP than most of the people who felt a need to post on here have. Probably with the exception of @Valkon which is why it's frustrating to see him doing it as well, considering all the things he's said about RP in the past. @Chad Power too.

If he wants to put this much effort in, and RP a character well, and the only request from him is that he puts some tiny cat ears on his character, who cares? Seems like a good trade to me. Honestly...

Tbh, if this man is dedicated enough to write a 3000 lore for some cat ears, grant it. I respect it, I hope it does get accepted.
