SCP-6192-1-EX; On release.

Special Containment Procedures (Archived): SCP-6192-1 is held in a High Comfort Containment Cell (Type S-2) in Sector 20-C at Site-138. No personnel is to come into line-of-sight of SCP-6192-1 without body language and facial expression concealments.

SCP-6192-1 participates once a week in a mental health consultation with a member of the Site Psychology staff, where the subject's mental health status is examined.

Description: SCP-6192-1-EX is a female human by the name of Franziska Miranda Neuhaus, who was previously categorised by the SCP Foundation as a person with abnormal characteristics.

Ms. F. M. Neuhaus was contained per the original Containment Procedures of SCP-6192 before its reclassification.

Due to her high density of mirror neurons¹, Ms. F. M. Neuhaus has been classified as a Higher Mental Transcommunicator. Higher Mental Transcommunicators are persons with the ability to connect mentally with other life forms in this measure in order to exchange different information. This ability is colloquially called "telepathy". It was confirmed that she possessed at minimum emphatic telepathy upon her original containment.

Due to the "telepathy" provided by SCP-6192 being reliant on body language and facial expressions to accurately mirror thought patterns, it has been reclassified as Explained. All related files, including SCP-6192-1-EX, have been reclassified to Explained as well.

Interviewed: SCP-6192-1-EX; contained anomaly

Interviewer: Dr. Richter, Head Researcher for SCP-6192-1-EX

<Begin Log>

Dr. Richter: Good evening, Ms. Neuhaus.

SCP-6192-1-EX: Good evening.

Dr. Richter: I would like to ask you a handful of questions. Please respond spontaneously.

SCP-6192-1-EX: Okay.

Dr. Richter: How are you feeling at the moment?

SCP-6192-1-EX: Fine for the circumstances. That's what you would say in a situation like the one I'm in, right?

Dr. Richter: Good. (takes notes) Yes, probably so. (smiles) We try to make your life as comfortable as possible. But sadly, all-day monitoring is part of the process.

SCP-6192-1-EX: (sighs) Sadly, it's still like I'm locked up in an asylum.

SCP-6192-1-EX: (PAUSE) Or a prison.

Dr. Richter: Please tell me if there is anything. Regrettably, I can't promise to fulfil everything, but we try not to be cruel.

SCP-6192-1-EX: I don't have any needs right now. But you are certainly not here just to keep me company.

Dr. Richter: This is true. But we don't have to work through the catalogue of questions so earnestly. (smiles)

SCP-6192-1-EX: If you say so. (smiles)

Dr. Richter: Okay, okay. I'm going to be more serious. Let's see. Ah! Shall we talk about your unique ability?

SCP-6192-1-EX: (shrugs) I mean, that's why I was brought in.

Dr. Richter: You are right, how silly of me.

SCP-6192-1-EX: No problem. So what exactly do you want to know?

Dr. Richter: I'm sure you have a rough idea of what we're testing.

SCP-6192-1-EX: Not really. Can you tell me?

Dr. Richter: (laughs) Not really, that would falsify the test. We will now do a classic Rorschach test.

SCP-6192-1-EX: (smirks) Isn't that a bit stereotypical?

Dr. Richter: (laughs) It is indeed, but this is part of my list that I need to go through with you to identify different factors for a catalyst of your capabilities.

Dr. Richter: What do you see here?

SCP-6192-1-EX: na na na na na na na na na na… BATMAN!

Dr. Richter: Now that you point it out, it looks like Batman's symbol. Adam West's, correct?

[Thirteen minutes omitted. For a full list, see your RAISA representative.]

Dr. Richter: This would be the last one.

SCP-6192-1-EX: Difficult. Two macaques? It looks a bit like they're cackling.

Dr. Richter: Good. (takes notes) It seems that, regrettably, we are already out of time for our sessions. One last question. How do you feel after this conversation?

SCP-6192-1-EX: To be honest, a bit tired.

Dr. Richter: I understand that quite well. It was a demanding session. I am leaving now. I'll see you in a few days, if we're lucky, otherwise in a week. Goodbye, Miranda.

SCP-6192-1-EX: Goodbye, Lucilia.

Addendum: Reclassification

As part of reintegrating the newly Explained SCP-6192 into society, the Explanation and Research Department was tasked with handling the release of individuals contained per the Containment Procedures of SCP-6192. Due to the Departments prior inexperience in reintegrating people³ as well as its limited manpower, it was decided to handle the reintegrations individually until a more general solution becomes feasible.

For this purpose, the Reintegration Committee is contacted and the following answer is received.

To: Explanation and Research Department (of.pcs.ce|DRaXE#of.pcs.ce|DRaXE)
From: Reintegration Committee (of.pcs.ce|noitargetnieR#of.pcs.ce|noitargetnieR)
Time: 05/12/2017 at 8:00 AM
Subject: RE: SCP-6192-1-EX
Attachments: release-plans.pdf

Hello,

As the reason for reintegration mentioned was the reclassification of SCP-6192 to Explained, the Reintegration Committee needs confirmation by your department that SCP-6192-1 is part of this phenomenon. As you are on-site you will also evaluate whether the Monitoring or the Amnesticization plan is more appropriate for this case. Please send us an answer by the end of the week (05/12/2017) so we can continue the reintegration process. You can send Ms. Neuhaus of, but further details will be handled by us.

Respectfully,
Dr. Tanya Fuller

⬣ Open Excerpt from an Internal Discussion from the Explanation and Research Department ⬣

⬡ Close ⬡

Attendees:

Dr. Richter
Dr. Hewlett, Project Head for Release and Research
Dr. Vasquez, Classification Commitee Liason
Dir. Weld (attends per call)

Location: Site-138, Sector-21, Conference Room-A

Topic: Reintegration Requirements

<Begin Log>

Weld: And I'll be there to see Ms. Neuhaus off.

Dr. Hewlett: Don't you have a flight that day?

Weld: Eh, the airport is close enough for me to still board on time. Plus, this step is too important for me not to be there.

Dr. Hewlett: (shrugs) It's your flight.

Weld: Yes it is. Is there anything else you need me for?

Dr. Richter: There is only one thing left, that would require directorial approval. Will Ms. Neuhaus be amnesticized or monitored?

Weld: Monitored.

Dr. Vasquez: I think Reintegration requires a reason to exempt somebody from amnestics.

Weld: (hurried) Hewlett should know why. Call me later if anything else comes up. (Call ends)

Dr. Hewlett: (sighs) I believe he is concerned about the mirror neurons being able to bypass some of the amnestics effects. This would increase the likelihood of her noticing something is wrong, so it would be simpler to choose to monitor from the start.

Dr. Richter: Will the Reintegration Committee handle the monitoring.

Dr. Hewlett: Let me check…yep. That leaves only the re-evaluation as an issue.

Dr. Vasquez: Having someone from this Site give their perspective would be helpful.

Dr. Hewlett: (sighs) It would, but as far as I could check, nobody sees themself responsible for her. Like a lot of older skips, every process with 6192 has been automated. Even the Psychology staff rotates.

Dr. Richter: As is standard with Higher Mental Communicators.

Dr. Vasquez: You don't operate a Site without somebody having a closer look at the humans contained there. I can search through the Site Archive to find who that person is for this Site.

Dr. Hewlett: You could, but we don't have the time for that.

Dr. Vasquez: In that case we'll have to start from zero. Make every test as if she just was contained and compare it to whatever old material we can find.

Dr. Hewlett: What would this entail?

Dr. Richter: From Ms. Neuhaus' file, a brain scan to confirm mirror neuron density and the activity that originally alerted the Foundation of SCP-6192 behaviour.

Dr. Vasquez: …There was no telepathy test?

Dr. Richter: Yes. Although to be fair, the Higher Mental Transcommunicator protocols didn't exist then as they do now.

Dr. Vasquez: That's no excuse. It should have been rectified as soon as the protocol was invented.

Dr. Hewlett: You'll see this a lot when dealing with older skips. Containment Procedures are followed to the letter until no one knows their original intent. Until nobody's left who cares for necessary updates.

Dr. Vasquez: Well, we can rectify that now. So we need a brain scan and a telepathy test.

Dr. Hewlett: Is the brain scan really necessary?

Dr. Vasquez: Well, it doesn't hurt. And it's better to be on the safer side with evaluations.

Dr. Hewlett: Right.

Dr. Richter: I can conduct the scan and the test. I'm familiar with the HMT protocol, we just need to confirm her abilities are in line with SCP-6192-EX, correct?

Dr. Vasquez: Yes, we can go through it now, to see what applies to this case.

The rest of this discussion is classified under Clearance 4/Higher Mental Transcommunicators.

<End Log>

A Correlation of SCP-6192-1-EX to SCP-6192 could be confirmed through a brain scan and a Higher Mental Transcommunicator test. Ms. Neuhaus has been successfully released to the general public. The release was overseen by Director Weld and a contact person for Ms. Neuhaus has been chosen from local Foundation Sites. All further files regarding her Reintegration are held by the Reintegration Committee.
