Please give some lore about your Overseer Assistant character and what storylines they would be involved in:

Swanson was always someone interested in the unknown, he first started his scientific career as a researcher in a scientific institute in Canada. One day while he was working someone brought him an object they couldn't really figure out how it worked, of course due to Swanson's great curiosity he began testing on the object in every way he could think of but at the end of the day he still couldn't crack how it functioned so he just saved it for the next day. Unfortunately for him though he wouldn't have that next day as in the night he was kidnapped by the SCP foundation and taken into custody. After this he was given to options, become a junior researcher for this foundation or become a prisoner to it. He of course chose option one.

As his time as a researcher he was always fascinated with the cognitohazards stationed on site, how they worked, their effects on people, and most importantly how he could revert or cancel their effects. Thus he usually carried a stack of papers on his clipboard at all times to review his notes whenever he was going on test, this turned out to have some unfortunate consequences. One day as he was doing a test with 914, a group of armed Dclass came in and after properly robbing him of his keycard and disguising themselves forced him in on very fine along with his papers just to see what would happen to this poor researcher they had taken prisoner. With no other option Swanson obliged and as he entered the machine he felt something grab ahold of him like it was wrapping around his head, soon enough his papers disappeared and he heard gunshots and yelling outside the machine so he hid in there until he was taken into custody by the E-11 who had arrived on scene. When he was being interrogated they repeatedly asked about his eyes and what had changed with them, Swanson of course had no clue what they were talking about and eventually convinced them it was a medical condition he had always had and was eventually let go. While Swanson was walking to the washroom to freshen up he noticed a lot of people staring, he couldn't quite pin why, was his shirt on backwards? Was his fly down? Was his hair messed up? Swanson could only guess, though he finally realized what they were staring at when he got to the washroom. His eyes , his eyes looked like they had been shattered, he saw cracks through sclera all circling around his pupil which had seemingly vanished. He could tell why people were staring, he had to have been studying it for what felt like hours before he finally snapped out of it with the sound of a breach alarm. He heard loud over comms the barking of the E-11 "035 BREACH, IT'S TAKEN OVER THE BODY OF ONE OF OUR MEN, WE'RE TAKING HEAVY FI-" Before gunfire filled the radio and the transition stopped. He ran back to his bunks as quickly as he could but he was cornered by two guards who had seemingly defected to SCP-035s side as 035 arrived and offered him a weapon and told him to join it. He had no urge to however he did act as if he did, grabbing the ARX it handed to him and took formation behind it, as he raised his weapon to the back of its head he wondered, why had this thing trusted him so quickly that he was telling the truth, why did it seemingly have no care that it had only taken seconds for him to decide and yet it allowed him behind it? This was an issue for another day as he fired 10 shots into the back of its head at point blank range. The body collapse onto the ground immediately and the mask fell off. Swanson expected the two guards to turn around and shoot him as he had just killed the one thing they seemed to have held any loyalty to but was shocked when they instead just arrested him, not for shooting 035 but for having a weapon in the first place, for not being in the breach shelter. When swanson was interrogated the guards were greatly offended that he had claimed that they defected over to SCP-035s side apparently having no recollection of what had happened denying that any such thing had happened. Were they lying to save their own skin? No that couldn't be they would've just shot Swanson if they truly did care about this thing, they had the justification to, some researcher with a gun to the back of their heads, no one would've questioned why they killed him. No there was something very different about them but he couldn't quite pin what. Nevertheless they let Swanson go with just a warning, while he wasn't supposed to have a weapon the guards did confirm that he was the one to kill SCP-035 and stop the breach which was justification enough for his superiors. This day scared Swanson and he would get to the bottom of everything that had happened. Until then he put on a pair of completely blacked out glasses and scheduled a test for SCP-035.

Through both his past experience in research and his finding while researching Swanson had found himself quickly rising up the ranks in research and eventually found himself an executive yet still no wiser as to what had happened that day, so he kept pushing. Test after test he could not find out what had happened, why it had happened. The closest he got was figuring out SCP-035 was very manipulative sure but that didn't explain that day at all or why he wasn't affected. Finally after his promotion to director of research he cracked it, SCP-035 was a cognitohazard and a dangerous one, his corkboard's filled with findings on this things effect on people and eventually led to a meeting with the 05s on new containment. How SCP-035 reacts to these new containment measures has yet to be seen.

Swanson had finally gotten what he wanted and felt he could finally rest on his obsession with his work and thus moved up to site administration, from there he has gained a great interest in the council and its workings after working under them, so he decided why not try to work directly under them as well.

Swanson has helped me get set up within the Research Department a lot, and has always been willing to lend a hand to Personnel when they need it. I think Swanson would be an excellent fit for the position of OA.
