SCP-999 Half-Lobotomy 10/28/19

[Schölinger]

Preface:

In previous bouts of testing, SCP-999 had proven useful in producing a line of supersoldiers, at the expense of mental acuity. The samples gathered from this experiment have been used for a number of tests, mostly pertaining to physical enhancement, as well as target mental attacks for the sake of interrogation. In the context of this experiment, the sample put to use is intended to reduce the mental acuity of the subject tested upon, something that could be used to reduce the will of an individual being interrogated, without completely lobotomizing them. This could make for a simpler interrogation method without wasting resources on torture, as the subject would be more prone to give out information.

Method:

A method for achieving the desired effect has been devised through the following steps, to be followed without any deviation or negligence on the part of the doctor involved:

1. Sedate the subject, or otherwise render them unconscious through available means.
2. Shave the hair of the subject to render them bald, if not already so.
3. With a sharpie brand felt-tip marker, make marks curved marks along the middle of the left and right hemispheres.
4. Cut along the lines of the scalpel, avoiding direct contact with the skull.
5. Peel back the skin, and utilize a chisel to remove the frontal hemisphere of the skull. Be careful not to injure the brain in this process.
6. Setting the skull fragments aside, inject a sample of SCP-999-1 directly into the frontal lobe. Direct the tip into the corpus callosum.
7. Replace the skull fragments, and bolt them together with latches and screws. This should hold the skull together enough to prevent death or injury given gentle handling.
8. Give the subject at least 24 hours to recover, then begin your questioning.

Observation:

A D-Class who had managed to be captured and brought to the surface was chosen for this experiment. Upon initial contact, the D-Class was apprehensive and unwilling to cooperate. Put under, the D-Class was transported to an operating room, where the procedure described above was performed. The D-Class was therein returned to my office, and asked a series of questions pertaining to his experience in the facility. He was incredibly friendly and outgoing, yielding all information he could provide without failure. He seemed confident in his memory and lucidity as the interrogation transpired.

Conclusion:

Ultimately, with nobody around to recruit the D-Class to our forces, he was released into the world to have a second chance. Alpha Operatives have been stationed with him at an apartment complex, posing at roommates to provide protection and a cover story for the time being. The findings of this experiment have proven, without a doubt, that the method described above can be repeated to efficiently extract information from persons of interest without struggle or failure. I would recommend my fellow members of the RND department try this method, as it is a simple way of pacifying a subject as well as performing an easy interrogation.
