Anomalies of Interest

It is always a pleasure to have a friendly face around! Such power and grace cannot be ignored. The Baroness is so incredibly polite and a joy to see. I do hope that my fellow medics can hold their thoughts and tongues back. She has proven capable of reading the thoughts of those around her. Perhaps in due time I will come to understand her. Aquirering a photo of her proved difficult. Each time I found myself interrupted by other serious matters or by my medics being unable to contain themselves around a woman.
Quite honestly, the most fascinating thing is that I haven't the chance to properly converse with her. She seems very dedicated to making visits to other members of Site-66. Notably, Tahji Garcia has been granted the powers of a thaumaturgic power permitting the summoning of a very heavy and abnormally large sword detailed to a point where it would be a shame if it ever were stained with blood. This sudden granting of such a power onto an NTF member does strike me as strange, as it appears that there are no negative side effects so far caused by Garcia's acquisition and use of this power. 

Addendum 1: I must wonder, if you did not make the campfire, who did?

I'd rather not be disrespectful and call The Duke a Sarkic, as fun fact: the term is infact, a slur. I'd rather treat an enemy of my enemy as a friend. He seems to be dedicated to stopping Vo'lok and has shown to be more than helpful when handling incursions brought on by Vo'lok and his meatloaf cult. The Duke has offered many times to teach those willing the ways of "shepherding flesh," but I will not accept. It appears that the lesson would come at a cost I am personally not willing to pay. I have seen what powers are behind that fancy suit, and I am tickled pink that I get to fight side-by-side with such a force! The Duke isn't too conversational at times, but I did get to learn which tailor he goes to for his suits! I hope this friendly relationship lasts. I'd be happy to have him as a member of the Foundation. I bet XI-8 would learn a thing or two from The Duke!

Addendum 1: Well, that didn't last long. From what I've heard, The Duke brought back another Archon from the dead. I wonder if this means there will be a Sarkic civil war? Multiple people are acting like this is a big surprise, but I personally think that there's something bigger in all this.

Addendum 2: Things with this guy are one big grey zone. I was given false info by my team, he didn't bring back an Archon, it was just a shadow of the past, nothing more. Speaking with The Duke revealed that he might know "Shadic" on a level that I know damned well "Shadic" hates. At least I got something out of this visit...

Addendum 3: Conflict of interest. He was there, fighting for Vo'lok. This doesn't seem right... something was wrong, I could feel it the moment I saw him. What happened?

Shepard, a fallen angel from a land unknown who seems to have a very lovely friendship with one of our own. I was approached directly and told of another world he had been banished from for trying to free his kind from the chains of hive minded bondage under the control of an unnamed force. He seems fascinated by technology, and as such did not understand at first what a camera or photography were. Thankfully, he was willing to have his photo taken alongside some others onsite once shown that the flash was no more than harmless light and the photo was similar to a painting rather than a literal frozen moment in time. Of note, he did directly state interest in watching my journey and seeing what I would become. Considering recent events, I will be taking this to heart.

Addendum 1:
Great to see you again. Although it has been a long time, I must say it was nice talking with you once more!

"The Other" was a term coined by 'Shadic,' and I'm using this term to refer to a person[?] of interest who seemingly has returned my camera to me and has also given me clues into what awaits.  He has appeared only a handful of times on site, and each time has shown to not be aggressive, but more so inquisitive. From what I understand, he speaks of others that may or may not be similar to himself. I am unsure if anybody can truly predict what "The Other" is, but I feel some sense of unease. I feel an itch around him and feel a call to action that I don't quite understand. This reflection of myself is a mystery I hope to someday solve.
I know you're probably somehow reading this. I know you have knowledge I haven't told you. I know that you are an anomaly. I do not know who you truly are. Are you me?
Am I you? You appear to walk in- no, between spaces that do and do not exist. You speak as if we know eachother, yet you are a stranger to me as of now. I hope we can meet some day, so that I may better understand who we both are.

You came into my mind, forced emotions upon me that are not my own, and then showed me every single [ DATA EXPUNGED ]. I do not blame you for trying to make humanity happy, but you must understand that life is made up of a cocktail of good and bad things. I fought you because of the unnatural control you wanted over me both in mind and body. I am willing to converse with you and have a joust of ideals. Most preferably, I'd also like to introduce you to one of my favorite television shows to show you why what you did is at the very least, a detriment to what most consider to be the "human experience." With that said, I am glad for what you have shown me and am so happy you invited me to see such an interesting place! Thank you for promptly responding to my messages. I hope to visit you soon!

Addendum 1: You're back, but not how anybody would expect. I wonder, what will happen this time around?

Object Class : Euclid

SCP-049 isn't the most positive anomaly around. He constantly speaks of a mysterious pestilence yet gives no proper answers when further questioned. I once took a crack and attempted to understand what disease he was referring to. I will be brief and say that he's most likely not referring to a disease, but rather a pattern he mistakes as a disease. People must understand that while these anomalies aren't properly understood, there's no harm in trying to better understand them. Perhaps we'll be able to one day put the case of this mysterious pestilence down once and for all, but until then, I'm going to stay captivated by his bizarre procedure that he calls his "cure."

Object Class : Keter

SCP-682 is regarded by the majority of Foundation staff as the most hostile and violent thing we have contained here at Site-66. The sheer destructive power of SCP-682 is not to be ignored, nor scoffed at. There is a distinct hatred for all human life SCP-682 holds deep within, and will act upon it whenever given the chance. One thing I must make note of however, is how SCP-682 has treated me. No, this is not a joke. Out of every sentient and actively hostile anomaly here, SCP-682 has been considerably kind towards me. This alone has baffled Nine-Tailed Fox, but has also resulted me in gathering some of the most unique photos. I have personally talked to SCP-682 and have taken photos of my fellow co-workers standing right next to SCP-682 without incident. Some people say that this has to do with the fact that I originate from Florida and further joke that SCP-682 may see me as a fellow reptile.

Object Class : Safe

The only anomaly proven to make the toughest military veterans tickled pink, SCP-999 is an orange glob of joy!  This little fella can be a handful at times, but the benefits of having an anomaly that doesn't try to kill you is amazing! One play session with SCP-999 can help brighten even the darkest of days. Unlike most of my subordinates however, I do not approve of SCP-999 as a replacement for actual therapy. I'd actually make an argument and say that SCP-999 may actually reduce the effectiveness of therapy, as some people may grow dependant on SCP-999 for feeling happy rather than finding joy in day-to-day life or human interactions. Funnily enough, this doesn't seem to come up in more conversations than I would have thought. Some people are just content to not question the anomalous, I guess.

Object Class : Safe

SCP-1993-ZP, better known by "Ash," is a hell of a party animal and Sarkic-killing machine! The guy may be a seasoned combatant, but great to talk to.
He's very well-versed in many different weapons, but has a preference to using his fists and personal shotgun. Ash has saved my life more than once.
You'll usually find Ash either on his own roaming the site, or alongside Mobile Task Force Unit Xi-8 handling whatever Sarkic threat is raising hell.
The only thing you have to watch for is his anger, as once he's in the zone, there's no stopping him from stomping a Sarkic he's got in his sights.
Funnily enough, he's one of the few designated SCPs that is treated more like a fellow Foundation member.

"This is my BOOMSTICK!"
- SCP-1993-ZP

One of my favorite friends and co-workers! SCP-2295 is the best! Now, aside from medical applications, SCP-2295 has been very calming.
SCP-2295 is the best way for me to introduce new hires to the anomalous. There's an important lesson with SCP-2295 that most people don't see.

"Read up on what you're working with. You'll never know when that knowledge may just save your life or the life of another."
- Prudence White, Site-66 Medical Department

I usually introduce new hires to SCP-2295 as soon as possible. It's non-threatening, and a good way to show that SCPs aren't always dangerous.
Now, this isn't to say I don't show new hires more dangerous anomalies. After introducing new hires to SCP-2295, I usually make a request to NTF.
I take new hires to SCP-106's containment chamber in Heavy Containment Zone and explain what they're looking at. It goes to show what we deal with.
Sure, things like SCP-049, SCP-106, and SCP-682 take lives, but once in a blue moon, it's good to know we have anomalies like SCP-2295 that are here to help.

SCP-XIV is relatively harmless despite being a massive scorpion.
Personally, I find it to be kind of cute. It occasionally has stolen my lunch though.
The worst incident I've ever had with SCP-XIV was when I was eating some pringles.
It restrained me, only to eat the crumbs off my uniform and stealing the rest for itself.
Now, if I ever happen to run into it while it's awake, I make sure to give it a treat.
So far, doing this has kept me in its good graces and it seems protective of me at times.
