Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6214 is to be contained within a Standard Humanoid Containment Cell with:
(1) Writing Desk
(1) Diary with necessary writing materials
(1) Bookshelf with unrestricted books available upon request.
Based on their long term good behaviour, SCP-6214 is granted one meal request a week and on special occasions.1
Description: SCP-6214 is a human woman characterised by transparent skin2, described as resembling ‘frosted glass.’ This abnormality primarily affects the skin; internal organs such as bones, the nervous system and the vascular system, are near-visible. Some organs are irregularly transparent - most apparent are the bones towards the ends of the objects limbs, liver and segments of the digestive tract. Bodily hair has lost the majority of its pigmentation, but under bright lighting, or most observably via flash-photography, the hair develops as a pinkish hue.3
SCP-6214 was born Fatima Cel Tradat (10/11/1888), a former employee at the Foundation. The Object was worked within the Research and Development Division at Site-17 as head of ‘Helm of Hermes,' until exposed to anomalous elements while conduction tests for then emerging technology.4. These elements were intended to reflect electromagnetic radiation to assist in securing energy-based anomalies, and concurrently develop new means of espionage.
This exposure gradually rendered the Object’s skin transparent in an initial pattern consistent with vitiligo.
The skin's transmutation began at the exposure site, the Object's left hand, and progressively spread. Later developments formed in new locations around the mouth, eyes and chest. Within three months the subject’s skin was completely transmuted. Subsequently, the object was contained for study and analysis. These biographical tests displayed that beyond its appearance, the Object was otherwise physiologically unremarkable to a human.
SCP-6214's perspective of the incident was recounted in its diary:5
Upon return from leave, the skin on SCP-6214's hand continued to shift into a translucent state. Within three weeks the majority of the skin around SCP-6214's hand had shifted into a transparent state. Then Site Director Michael Pra’vi relinquished SCP-6214 from their position on the project. SCP-6214 was transferred to the archival office.
SCP-6214’s perspective of the incident are recounted in their diary:
SCP-6214 followed the protocols given to it. After a routine medical examination, SCP-6214 was eventually transferred to the Foundation Residential Community within Site-5. SCP-6214 initially protested this direction, until convinced by its then spouse Dr. Karson Dach.
The following entry was presumably written shortly after the previous entry. The handwriting is notably careless compared to previous entries and the page is marked with violent pen markings which have torn segments of the page.
The state of SCP-6214’s condition was reported by Dr. Karson Dach. After considering the state of SCP-6214 then Site Director Moran Vandolin registered SCP-6214 for official object classification.
The process was officialised after no evidence emerged that SCP-6214 would return to a nominal state.
Interview Log 001:
Interviewer: Dr. Karson Dach
Interviewee: SCP-6214SCP-6214 [had been] in containment for approximately 24 hours (as of 12/6/1924). SCP-6214 [was] seated within Debrief Room 11-2 unrestrained. One armed guard [was] stationed behind the subject. Dr. Karson Dach requested to interview and debrief SCP-6214.
Justification was given: "[SCP-6214] will feel more accustomed into containment with the aid of a person [the object] trusts, such as myself. I know that this is an unorthodox procedure, but it will make our future with [SCP-6214] efficient and clean."
[BEGIN LOG]
[SCP-6214 is sitting at a desk]SCP-6214: Karson, I am glad to see you…have you debriefing me, as such.
[SCP-6214 rises to their feet]
Dr.Dach: SCP-6214, I’m here, as you will be aware, to debrief you. Discuss your status and all the formalities you'd be accustomed to and… Sorry for all this decorum. You know what this is.
SCP-6214: SCP-62-? Oh you utter… Karson! Why aren’t you fighting this? Surely you see, I can’t be contained. I am not…I can not…be something to be locked away. It's not moral! I’m am-
Dr.Dach: Normal? Typical? The powers-that-be took a chance on you, let your incident slide, waited to see if you'll improve but…I am sorry Fatima, but look at you.
[SCP-6214 stops briefly to examine their hands, then turns back]
SCP-6214: Sorry won't free me from containment. I am a scientist! First in my class, with the degrees to provide. We can deduce a cause, cure me. Uncover new, unveiled secrets!
Dr.Dach: It is our sovereign duty to understand the abnormal, including condition. In containment, we have a neutral ground to observe the mechanisms of your condition. I sincerely do pity you, however recall that we’re united towards a greater cause, Fatima!
SCP-6214: Then let me serve that cause! Karson, please, what are you saying?
Dr.Dach: I’m saying that…that yes, you are still serving that cause. Uniquely seated, I might say.
SCP-6214: Don’t get clever with me Karson. Some scientist you are. You fell sick gazing at his sick wife. Is human anatomy that abhorred to a biologist?
Dr.Dach: What sensible spouse couldn't!? You're starting to resemble the living dead.
[Dr.Dach theatrically slaps his forehead]
Dr.Dach: Wait, that's right. I ‘lack the senses.’SCP-6214 How did you? Oh to hell with it. Karson, please, over such a minor comment, you cannot, genuinely fathom…
Dr.Dach: You are endless with your minor comments. Let's speak again soon, SCP-6214
[END LOG]
Dr. Dach was barred from interacting with SCP-6214 in any official capacity following this initial briefing. SCP-6214 became verbally confrontational towards Foundation Employees during communication, continually protesting its rights and citing ''it could have been you," to multiple personnel. The object was formally classified by their Containment Specialist Dr. Louisa Guzmán.
Interview Log 003:
Interviewer: Dr. Louisa Guzmán
Interviewee: SCP-6214Dr. Guzmán intends to understand the mental state of SCP-6214 and their perspective of their condition. There is an armed guard in the room.
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Guzmán: How are you this evening?
SCP-6214: Bored. Tired. I want dinner, and then I want to sleep.
Dr. Guzmán: Then we’ll hurry along and get through this together. Are you comfortable?
SCP-6214: [Laughs] Comfortable enough, Louisa.
Dr. Guzmán: Now, firstly your skin condition. From our observations it generally spreads across an affected area. On a rare occasion, new areas detached from the currently affected area appear.
SCP-6214: Such as my eyes. I look so tired, with these transparent bags.
[Dr.Guzmán ignores the statement, instead making notes as she seaks]
Dr. Guzmán: Is there any sensation caused by your skin’s transmutation?
SCP-6214: At times, I almost feel my skin go 'wrong.' I cannot describe it, but I am unsure how legitimate this is. Like a force, or phantom numbness.
Dr. Guzmán: You feel that this sensation is just trickery of the mind?
[SCP-6214 shrugs]
Dr. Guzmán: Has Karson visited at all?
SCP-6214: Pardon?
Dr. Guzmán: I apologize for being so forward. As your…
[Dr. Guzmán hesitates, and places her notepad aside]
Dr. Guzmán: As your containment specialist, and former college, I’m in a unique position. You aren’t some cursed textbook or flesh-eating doll..
SCP-6214: Then why am I here? I was under the impression that I'm am sick, and yet like something from P. T. Barnum, I’m out on display. ''Look at this freak'', ''look at her and how her insides gleam for all to see.''
[The Armed Guard goes to apprehend SCP-6214, however, Dr. Guzmán gestures him to go back into positioned. SCP-6214 ends its display]
Dr. Guzmán: You are a human with a condition we are trying to understand. Your husband is still working on the materiel that altered you, and if they understand a method to remove the effects of a translucency shift, then we have a method to cure you.SCP-6214: So perhaps I can return to normal? My position, even?
Dr. Guzmán: I won’t give you false hope. There is little I can guarantee. Now, as the containment specialist of one who is human, regardless of what others might suggest, I see no reason to treat you like a leper, or like D-Class.
SCP-6214: Will I be placed into an ordinary room?
Dr. Guzmán: Fatima, uh SCP-6214. That is, unfortunately, beyond my powers, but I am going to ask what we can do to make your life comfortable?
SCP-6214: Books, and-and my diary. It was in my quarters last I recall.
Dr. Guzmán: I’ll have that arranged. Although I must stipulate, this is a courtesy, and as you should know, we aren’t a hotel. There's plenty of protocol around this. You are still classified as an SCP, and there are still procedures we must adhere to.
SCP-6214: Fine, Louisa. Fine.
[END LOG]
SCP-6214 agreed to cooperate on the grounds of a reward system. Meetings, dressed as both formal and informal, continued between Dr. Guzmán. (See SCP-6214 Interview Folder) SCP-6214 continued to write in its diary daily. Dr. Karson Datch visited SCP-6214 5 times in the 12 months the Object had been in Foundation containment. As of 15/6/1925 Dr. Karson Datch and SCP-6214 are divorced.
SCP-6214 condition spread to the majority of its body; bones became visible in extraneous limbs, and notably its ribcage. SCP-6214 expressed and showed signs of distress from its condition. However, after some time, the Object appeared to grow contempt with whatever change had passed.
Addendum 1: SCP-6214 has become passive to Foundation authority and shows no developing abnormalities aside from its currently known skin condition. As of 01/01/1946, SCP-6214 has been permitted visits to the Foundation Garden at their request; this is a bonus from their previous agreement based upon their long-term good behaviour. SCP-6214 must be accompanied by an armed guard in the event SCP-6214 attempts an escape, however in the 22 years they have been in containment, they have followed Foundation policies.
Addendum 2: On 25/06/1969, SCP-6214 died from age-related ailments at the age of 81 shortly after viewing the Apollo Landing at 1 AM UCT. The Object has been reclassified from ‘Safe’ to ‘Decommissioned.’
SCP-6214 wrote a final note, which has been included to preserve the final words of SCP-6214 by the request of the now-retired Director Louisa Guzmán.
Dr. Karson Datch, retired, has requested that SCP-6214 be buried in the Foundation Memorial. After reanalysing SCP-6214's corpse, finding nothing of concern, this request has been granted
