Chapter 112

[Containment Object: The Duke]

[Item Number: SCP-083-D]

[Danger Level: Keter]

[Project Description: "SCP-083" appears as a Caucasian male between 20 and 26 years old. Black hair, brown eyes, height 1.83m.]

["SCP-083" has no physical need for food, although it often requests food. It seems to prefer meat and has also ordered several well-known brands of candied fruit.]

["SCP-083" also has no need for sleep, but still requested a bed; to this, it replied: "I want to lie down for a while sometimes, I don't think there's anything strange about that."]

[Personnel who have interacted with "SCP-083" usually report that "SCP-083" is "kind" and "polite" to most staff.]

["SCP-083" scored over 155 on standard IQ tests and demonstrated impressive logical and problem-solving abilities, even becoming the cause of several "SCP-███," "SCP-███," and "SCP-███" containment breaches.]

[If "SCP-083" is not fed blood every 12 hours, "SCP-083" will become enraged and aggressive and will attempt to breach its containment facility.]

[When in this stage, "SCP-083" will find humans and attempt to drain them dry.]

[When it finds a satisfactory blood source, "SCP-083" will become bloodthirsty, draining the blood completely; whether it is in the human body or in a blood bag, "SCP-083" will only suck them.]

[Once its thirst is satisfied, "SCP-083" will enter a 12-hour peaceful state, and the feeding schedule must be re-established around this new cycle.]

["SCP-083" seems to have regeneration abilities similar to "SCP-076," and can even regenerate in cases of obvious "death."]

"Isn't this thing just a vampire?"

"You have to call it a Blood Clan, Blood Clan!"

"I'm very curious, why add a 'D' after its number, and then it's gone in the later documents? Could it mean the same 'D' as in D-class personnel!"

"Damn, there really are vampires? How do they reproduce? Can they really turn humans into their own kind? I also want to be immortal."

"Wash up and go to sleep, everything is in your dreams."

"May I ask, if you put a middle manager of the company, 'SCP-083,' a leech, and a bedbug in a room, who would survive in the end?"

"I don't know who would survive, but the person who locked them in definitely wouldn't."

...Please give flowers... 0

Along with the file, photos of "SCP-083" were also displayed.

If it weren't for the fact that the file stated its identity as a containment object, many viewers wouldn't distinguish it from a normal human.

They might even treat it as a good marriage candidate because of its good looks and elegant temperament.

In fact, someone in the barrage was already shouting, "Duke, I want to have a child with you!"

The screen fell into darkness again.

But this time, the screen didn't light up immediately; instead, there was a voiceover reading the script unhurriedly.

[The Foundation recently launched an investigation into the "value of containing and researching 'SCP-083'."]

[In this survey, we balanced several factors, such as the danger of maintaining containment and the cost of purchasing virgin blood, and finally concluded: "SCP-083" should be executed immediately.]

[This decision was unanimously agreed upon by the O5 and was immediately issued to the Site-19 management.]

[The executor of this execution was selected from the standing candidates; he is a person with professional skills and rich experience in eliminating and destroying humanoid containment objects, and is famous for his surgical methods that don't drag on.]

[Unfortunately, it turned out he was unreliable.]

[Dr. Kondraki was not selected as the executor based on the recommendations of colleagues and subordinates, but obtained relevant permissions and licenses through a loophole in the management system, forcing the O5 to reluctantly accept his self-appointment.]

[O5-8 quelled the O5's fears by citing Dr. Kondraki's impressive loyalty, claiming that giving him such an important position would eventually make him take his work seriously.]

0 . ...

As the voiceover ended, the picture gradually brightened.

A plain office appeared in the picture.

In the center of the office, there were two opposing sofas, each with a person sitting on them.

The person on the left side of the screen couldn't see their face, only a very large nose and a grinning smile similar to a Cheshire Cat.

Obviously Dr. Clef.

And the one on the right, his features were plain, and except for his blonde hair and wearing a white lab coat, there were no memorable points.

"...I really didn't find any errors in Dr. Kondraki's execution plan, not at all."

Clef's words sounded decisive, leaving no room for sophistry.

"Is that so?"

Dr. Clef nodded:

"Completely correct."

"He has a basic execution mechanism, a backup plan, and a third plan."

"The fact that his plan didn't work is not his fault. The loss of MTF-ρ-2 squad was a sad but unforeseeable event caused by moving a Euclid-class object..."

The other person sighed and flipped through the report in his hand:

"I see."

Afterward, his tone changed, and his body leaned toward Dr. Clef.

This was an aggressive action.

"Then tell me, Dr. Clef, what if everything he did was not in his plan, but he was just acting willfully?"

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

As if hearing some joke, Dr. Clef burst into laughter.

A moment later, he slapped his thigh, stomped his foot, and forced himself to calm down.

He stared into the other person's eyes:

"If that's the case, sir, then I have to say Dr. Kondraki is a suicidal idiot. But of course he wouldn't..."

Just.

Dr. Clef's voice grew smaller and smaller.

The other person pursed his lips, his eyes wide open, and there were many wrinkles on his forehead.

He looked at Dr. Clef, nodded heavily, then spread his hands and leaned his back against the sofa backrest.

He said nothing, but everything was said.

Clef's smile froze, gradually disappeared, and transferred to the faces of the audience outside the screen.

He couldn't believe it:

"...He did that?"

The other person started flipping through the documents in front of Dr. Clef, his tone flat and his speaking speed a bit fast:

"I have a copy of Dr. Kondraki's execution plan here."

Afterward, he found the corresponding content and read the text on it to Dr. Clef.

"The first step is to use cat urine and a pistol loaded with silver bullets."

"The second, third, fourth, and fifth backup plans are 'improvisation,' 'adaptability,' 'the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge,' and 'bury my head in my knees and kiss my ass goodbye'."

After speaking, he handed the document to Dr. Clef.

Afterward, there was a long section of processed electronic noise.

Even though the entire audio had become Cybertronian-style, the audience could still guess what happened.

Dr. Clef must be cursing!

*Clef profanity*
