NaNoWriMo 2017 - Excerpt #3

Current Total Word Count: 21,087 Today’s Yesterday’s Word Count: 2,206

Related Reading: Previous Excerpts | General NaNo Tag

I had to go back and check on the wording I’d used for Rule #1 of this year’s NaNo run, and it reads as follows:

I can’t post any excerpts for your reading enjoyment unless I write at least the day’s recommended word count, so 1,667 words.

Since I got really damn close to yesterday’s “on schedule” word count (21,667), I don’t feel too guilty sharing a new excerpt with you guys--although I did have to fiddle with the formatting a bit!

Interview Log 9276-1-a:

Dr. █████: Hello. Are you [REDACTED]?

SCP-9276-1: That depends. Who are you?

Dr. █████: My name is Doctor [REDACTED]. I’m with the SCP Foundation. I was told you would require proof of my credentials? Here is mine. [After a measure of silence.] Does that satisfy you?

SCP-9276-1: Yes. Have a seat.

Dr. █████: Thank you. [Sounds of furniture moving, as Dr. █████ sits down.] I am to understand, from Agent Willows and the Foundation, that you wish to hand yourself in for containment.

SCP-9276-1: Yes.

Dr. █████: Why?

SCP-9276-1: I want your help. Not—not necessarily yours, specifically. The people you work for. The Foundation. I want their help.

Dr. █████: What sort of help do you think the Foundation can provide you?

SCP-9276-1: I have a number of… How do I put it? [A measure of silence.] Your Foundation is interested in the strange and the occult, right? Ghosts, zombies, aliens—that kind of shit?

Dr. █████: In a manner of speaking—

SCP-9276-1: I’m one of those. I’m a— [Sound of a lighter being flicked. There is a sound like someone breathing in, then out; SCP-9276-1 has begun smoking a cigarette.] Undead. That’s what she called it. I’m undead, and I don’t remember how I got that way, but I want to know. I think I deserve to know. You guys can help me find out.

Dr. █████: And what makes you so sure that we can help?

SCP-9276-1: Honestly? I’m not, but you’re the strongest lead I’ve got, and I’m pretty sure I’ve got at least one thing that should pique your boss’s interest.

Dr. █████: Which would be?

SCP-9276-1: [REDACTED, referring to SCP-9276]

[The only sound for thirty seconds is the sound of SCP-9276-1 smoking his cigarette.]

Dr. █████: SCP-9276—

SCP-9276-1: I see I have your interest.

Dr. █████: How do you know about her?

SCP-9276-1: She made me what I am.

Dr. █████: How?

SCP-9276-1: Well, I imagine that’s part of what you’ll get to find out if you take me in. Do we have a deal?

[Twenty seconds of silence.]

Dr. █████: I’ll need to make a phone call. And I’ll need samples of your blood, your hair—

SCP-9276-1: Take all you need. Just tell me whether or not we have a deal.

Dr. █████: Let me start with that phone call.

Interview Log 9276-1-b:

Dr. █████: Hello again, [REDACTED]. Do you remember me?

SCP-9276-1: Dr. [REDACTED]…? Yes, I remember. Are you sure you’re allowed to call me by my real name? I dunno if they told you, but I’ve got a number now.

Dr. █████: So you have.

SCP-9276-1: Then again, it is just hers with a “one” on the end of it. Figures. Can’t seem to get away from her even when I’m in here.

Dr. █████: Have they been treating you well in here?

SCP-9276-1: Yeah! Yeah, they have, actually. Everybody’s been very polite. I mean, they’ve all got that weird clinical veneer that makes all the politeness seem a little creepy, but at the same time, I’m not surprised. You guys apply science to what defies science, right?

Dr. █████: I-in a manner of speaking, I suppose, yes. [REDACTED], this is Dr. [REDACTED].

Dr. ███████: Hello.

SCP-9276-1: Nice to meet you.

Dr. █████: Dr. [REDACTED] is taking lead on your case, so I figured it would be important for you two to meet as quickly as possible.

SCP-9276-1: You mean I won’t be working with you?

Dr. █████: Oh, you will, but—

Dr. ███████: The Foundation felt that it would be a good idea to have an objective eye spearheading the procedures we might put you through, and so assigned me to oversee your stay. However, Dr. [REDACTED] will be acting as an advisor of sorts, given his experience in working with 9276 during her previous stay at the Foundation.

SCP-9276-1: I see…

Dr. █████: Is it all right if we ask you some questions?

SCP-9276-1: Go ahead, yeah, sure. Have a seat.

Dr. █████: Thank you. [Sound of papers shuffling.] When you and I last spoke, I asked you why you requested containment. Do you remember that?

SCP-9276-1: Doc, my memory might be shit—pardon me—

Dr. ███████: No, please; we encourage frank, honest speech here.

SCP-9276-1: I find that hard to believe, but… Anyway, Doc, my memory is shit, but I at least remember what we talked about last time. You want to know why I did it, right? Why would I call you? Why would I willingly hand myself over to the Foundation to be poked and prodded like a lab rat?

Dr. █████: Well…y-yes, I suppose. Why would you do that? You said—

SCP-9276-1: I know what I told you, Doc. I want you guys to fix me. I don’t know how. If I did, I would’ve fixed myself and not even considered reaching out to you guys—

Dr. ███████: Which reminds me. How did you know where to find one of the Foundation’s agents? It makes sense that you would know about us, if you worked for 9276—

SCP-9276-1: [REDACTED] taught me. “They are everywhere and nowhere, hiding in plain sight, and they will snatch you up and put you under glass without a second thought.” She was fond of saying that, but it’s pretty much true. You guys are hiding everywhere. The hard part was figuring out which one of you to approach. Agent, um, [REDACTED], was it?

Dr. █████: Yes.

SCP-9276-1: [REDACTED] was working in a bookstore around the corner from my apartment, but something about [REDACTED] was too… The illusion of being [REDACTED] was too good, too spot-on. So I followed [REDACTED] one night after work—which I guess was half of a mistake, because [REDACTED] justifiably almost beat the crap out of me, but…y’know, sometimes you have to risk having your skull caved in if you want help. One thing led to another and, well, here I am now with you.

Dr. █████: Hoping we can fix you.

SCP-9276-1: It’s not just my absent memories, Doc. I haven’t been in contact with [REDACTED] in maybe…I dunno, maybe—maybe a month? Month and a half? It’s starting to affect me, I think, but—but in a bad way. Not like I miss her or anything. I mean… Like, I-I’ve been having these weird…these weird…URGES. I don’t know how to describe them. It’s like my skin starts to crawl and itch and it just feels way too tight all over—a-a-and my joints ache, my muscles all kinda lock up or cramp and it’s just like… I feel like shit. Worse than shit. And I get…

[Silence of about thirty seconds, during which a lighter is heard. SCP-9276-1 has lit a cigarette.]

Dr. █████: What sort of urges are these?

SCP-9276-1: [With mild distress.] I can’t even begin to describe it.

Dr. ███████: Try.

SCP-9276-1: If I could, I would have already! I— [Deep breath in, then out.] I’m sorry. I just—this is the worst part. This is the part I want to fix the most. Feels like I’m just slowly losing control of myself the longer I go without being in her presence and I wonder…is this her doing? Is this part of what being undead is about? Do I have to choose between spending eternity in her service…or decay? Because I know what the alternative is. I know how I can sustain myself, but I won’t—I can’t do that because—because shit, what kind of CHOICE is that? Who would even…?

Dr. █████: Mr. [REDACTED], are you—?

SCP-9276-1: Huh?

Dr. █████: Are you alright? Should we resume this conversation another time?

SCP-9276-1: I… Yeah. Maybe that’s a good idea. Can I get some coffee? The welcome party only briefly explained about where I could and couldn’t go, so I’ve just stayed in my cell—

Dr. ███████: Mr. [REDACTED]—

SCP-9276-1: You can call me [REDACTED]. In fact, I’d prefer it.

Dr. ███████: Very well. [REDACTED] it is. Why don’t I give you a tour of the facility and showcase where you can go. We can start with the cafeteria and that cup of coffee, if you like.

SCP-9276-1: I’d like that. Thanks.
