Lore Name: Doctor John Fish Rank: Jr Researcher Experiment: An intellectual discussion with SCP-049 as to what the plague is that it refers to constantly as well as other information regarding it. Background Research: SCP-049, A plague doctor in appearance. He holds a "curing" hand that when it touches you, you become "cured". SCP-049 even goes as far as to turn some into zombie-like creatures. Hypothesis: If the conversation goes well, perhaps we could have more information at our disposal as to what SCP-049 is or even what the plague it refers to is and how we could even combat the plague. The following is what occurs during this experiment I conducted. The test starts off by informing SCP-049 as to what is going to occur. SCP-049 appears pleased with the fact that they will partake in conversation (This interest and even joy is something of note). I had a guard open the door to SCP-049's chamber. I then sent in D-Class "Aggressive" Steve, Steve began a conversation with SCP-049 by asking him a few starter questions to lighten the mood. The discussion will be displayed below. Discussion: D will signify the D-Class P will signify SCP-049 ____________________________________ D - Hello, uh, what kind of music are you a fan of? P - Classical. D - Any in particular? P - Beethoven. D - Oh, Beethoven? I understand that you are from the era of Beethoven/The Plague. D - Would you tell me about the plague that you claim to see on us? P - I see that you have the plague and I have the cure. D - I understand you have the cure but would you tell me about it like how its spread, etc? - During this conversation SCP-049 move closer to him every so often. The D-Class of course moves away from him. - P - It spreads everywhere. The air, animals, people... everywhere. - At this point, it has become clear that SCP-049 is getting antsy and is preparing to "cure" the D-Class known as "Aggressive" Steve. - D - Perhaps, you could be more specific on what the plague is and all that? It could really help out the foundation, they could possibly even assist you in your task. P - The plague is the plague and I have the cure. I am going to cure you. - The D-Class begins to run around the chamber in a vain attempt to escape. He is of course "cured" and become one of the mindless drones that SCP-049 is quite fond of making. - - Having learned all we could, the guard eliminated the "zombie" and we ended the test. - Analysis/Conclusion: While we haven't learned much from SCP-049 we have learned a fair amount of information that brings us one step closer to understanding him and even the plague he talks about. The experiment was successful I would say. SCP-049 was able to carry a meaningful and intellectual conversation for even a short while before "curing" our D-Class subject. Was my hypothesis correct?: I do believe that it was a success. We got some new information on SCP-049 and we were able to carry an intellectual conversation with him for a good amount of time. We also were able to capture real emotions from him such as joy or even excitement as to what was to come.\ - Doctor Fish - - Logging Off-
