Ava Holt – Assistant to the Ethics Committee

Full Name: Ava "Spawn" Holt
Birthplace: Asheville, North Carolina, USA
Current Assignment: Assistant to the Ethics Committee, Site-65
Clearance Level: 4
Previous Assignment: Personnel Evaluation and Oversight, Site-87

Early Life & Education

Childhood surrounded by a household full of public service, Ava Holt's life was marked by reserve and emotional intelligence. Her father, Thomas Holt, served as a paramedic who volunteered during hurricanes that ravaged the Southeast. Her mother, Renée Holt, worked as a school counselor in the underfunded schools of the Appalachian school districts. Dinner at their table was a roundtable forum for ethical inquiry—sometimes bleak, sometimes hopeful. Ava discovered early on that ethics had nothing to do with being right it had everything to do with being responsible.

She graduated from Duke University with dual majors in Criminology and Behavioral Psychology, and a Philosophy minor. In a summer internship with a federal law enforcement agency (details censored), she was introduced to the fringes of anomalous containment through a low-clearance psychology project—to evaluate the effects of exposure to cognitohazardous material on law enforcement decision-making. Her first unintended experience with the Foundation.

Foundation Career – Site-87

Ava's official recruitment came two years later under the guise of a post-grad research program. She was placed at Site-87, a mid-tier containment and research facility in the Midwest, dealing with anomalous psychological objects and memetics. She was part of the Personnel Evaluation and Oversight Division, performing psychological evaluations and incident de-briefs for field personnel and researchers.

She earned a reputation for listening—really listening. She asked the right questions. She knew when someone's moral arithmetic had been shifted by trauma, or by being subjected to something no human should ever have to explain. Her reports were likely to contain observations beyond the standard psychological metrics—asking not just *what* someone had done, but *why* they'd thought it was acceptable.

But not all of her remarks were appreciated. In one notable episode (designated Incident 87-Karma), Ava internally recommended that a lead researcher be suspended following a breach that caused two deaths. The researcher's direct action had technically rescued the site—but had skirted a number of ethical safeguards in the process. Her objection was overridden. The researcher was promoted.

That encounter changed her. Not begrudgingly but fundamentally. She began to believe that **ethics have to be higher than utility**, or die in its shadows.

Transfer & Appointment to Site-65

Ava was given a cryptic interdepartmental memo six months later, requesting her "administrative reassignment pending Ethics Committee guidance." She was not formally interviewed. She was interviewed by one man in a gray suit in an office without windows. He asked her:

>"What's riskier: a man who bends the rules to save ten lives, or the man who writes the rules afterward?"

She answered:

>"The second one. Because he teaches others that it's always worth it."

Two weeks later, she was relocated to Site-65, a secure location with more participation in cross departmental decision making and ethical oversight.

As Ethics Committee Assistant, Ava has a typically complicated job. She reads mission briefs, conducts follow up interviews with people after morally nuanced missions, and authors ethical impact assessments for the Committee to use in making policy, sanctions, or commendations. She doesn't have direct authority but her voice is heard, because the Committee listens to her. They trust her lucidity. Her honesty. And sometimes, her tendency to propose an uncomfortable truth over a convenient compromise.

Personality & Reputation

Quietly assertive: Ava never yells, but the room falls silent when she speaks.
Detail oriented: Her meticulous notes and keen observations are legendary, especially on the human toll of containment.
Emotionally intelligent: She is able to guide others through grief, guilt, and denial without judgment but with firm boundaries.


Notable Incidents

Case File 12-Veil: Ava uncovered a subtle trend of falsification in amnestic reports, where field agents were under-reporting actual civilian exposure to anomalous trauma. Her find initiated a total procedural review.
Interview 12-AFTER: Following SCP-███-B neutralization, Ava underwent a one on one debrief with an agent who had willfully disobeyed kill order procedure in an effort to save a hostile anomalous child. Her recommendation: "Reassignment with psychological counseling. Not discipline. We have more who pause."
Internal Code: "Watcher's Mercy": Rumors circulate that Ava has spurned at least one offer of promotion to a full Committee liaison rank. Some say she believes she can do more good as an assistant. Others say she's waiting for something—or someone.
