SCP-TME
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Due to SCP-TME’s loyalty to the Foundation and its goals, SCP-TME is not to be contained with the exception of testing on temporal-based anomalies within approximately 200 meters of SCP-TME and any testing on SCP-FRC.
In the case of such exceptions or by request of SCP-TME, SCP-TME is to be taken to a standard humanoid containment cell and provided with any reasonable item requested. Such requests typically include:
- A change of clothes
- Food
- A potted plant
- A weighted blanket
- A pen and notepad
In such cases, SCP-TME is not to be provided with a weapon of any kind and a social worker is to be posted at the door of the subject’s cell until the occurrence passes. The social worker is to be equipped with a stuffed animal and a blanket. In the event of SCP-TME attempting to breach containment or expresses distress, it is to be comforted and wrapped in a blanket until the lockdown order has been rescinded or until SCP-TME is able to request release of its own free will.
SCP-TME is required to Standard Testing as Required by MTF Units once a month due to the nature of its position at the Foundation. Failure to meet the required score of Standard Testing as Required by MFT Units to continue service will result in SCP-TME’s position as a field agent being temporarily revoked and its position at the Foundation being re-evaluated.
SCP-TME is not allowed any contact with SCP-LWS or objects associated with SCP-LWS without the permission of Foundation personnel with Level 4 Clearance and a minimum of two (2) armed personnel escorting it to SCP-LWS. Violation of these special containment procedures will result in SCP-TME’s position as a field agent being revoked and its classification being reevaluated.
Description:
SCP-TME is a Caucasian male with blonde hair of varying ages currently ranging from [REDACTED] to [REDACTED]. Its right eye has a long vertical scar running over it, leaving said eye clouded and blind. It has pointed ears reminiscent of elves from the [REDACTED] franchise. Under its right eye, there are two red markings running horizontally along the cheekbone and to the jawline and a blue “v” mark on its forehead. These features are consistent across any form SCP-TME takes and are mirrored by SCP-[REDACTED].
SCP-TME is capable of either aging or de-aging however the subject appears to have little to no control over this process. It has reported blind spots appearing in its vision and other symptoms associated with migraine auras before a temporal shift and any mention of such occurrence by SCP-TME are to be treated as truth and Special Containment Procedures are to be followed
The changes in age appear to follow a cycle, SCP-TME tends to appear as a child most often after having just woken up and as it becomes more and more stressed, the ages its body will appear as get older and older.
Addendum-TME-112198-01:
SCP-TME was originally recovered [REDACTED] months after the discovery and subsequent containment of SCP-LWS, having appeared on the edge of SCP-LWS after an unmanned exploration of the anomaly utilizing drones and rovers
SCP-TME agreed to guide a D-Class subject into the forest in exchange for one (1) pink stuffed rabbit toy purchased from [REDACTED]. D-135813 was provided fifteen (15) protein bars, three (3) 16 fl oz water bottles, a GPS transmitter, a compass, and a map on which to mark the route taken.
Five (5) hours after entering the forest, SCP-TME and D-135813 appeared in the same spot they had entered from, SCP-TME appearing visibly upset while being held by D-135813. D-135813 reported that no time had passed for them and was uncertain how they came to be holding SCP-TME or why SCP-TME was upset. Eight (8) of the protein bars and two (2) of the water bottles had been consumed. The GPS transmitter, compass, and map were missing from the D-Class’s bag.
`An interview was later conducted after SCP-TME was calmed down.
========================================================================
Interviewer: Dr. M ido
Interviewee: SCP-TME
Note: SCP-TME was originally classified as an instance of SCP-LWS-b.
Dr. Mido: Hello, SCP-LWS-b, how are you doing?
SCP-TME: [silence]
Dr. Mido: Could you talk to me? We just want to understand how we can help you.
[SCP-TME begins to reach for the pink rabbit it had been given earlier]
Dr. Mido: Is this what you want?
SCP-TME: Thank you, Mister.
Dr. Mido: Your welcome, SCP-LWS-b, are you ready to talk now?
SCP-TME: Why do you keep calling me that?
Dr. Mido: It is a name we use for filing purposes. Is there another name you would like to be called?
SCP-TME: I don’t have a name.
Dr. Mido : [ Dr. Mido coughs] Back on topic. Could you tell us why you were so upset earlier after leaving SCP-LWS?
SCP-TME: The Forest didn’t want me back. [SCP-TME begins to squeeze the stuffed animal] I just want to go back home. I miss my family.
========================================================================
Upon confirmation that SCP-TME could not return to SCP-LWS and that it was not one of the missing children from [REDACTED], it was placed in a Foundation-associated orphanage in [REDACTED] for further observation.
Further research is being done into what SCP-TME calls its family and the nature of SCP-LWS.
Addendum-TME-112198-02:
The Foundation was contacted on [REDACTED] by [REDACTED] Orphanage concerning SCP-TME and a manifestation of anomalous properties. SCP-TME was brought to Site-86 for containment and testing as well as access to social workers.
Addendum-TME-112198-03:
During a containment breach of SCP-TRM, SCP-TME came into contact with SCP-FRC and put it on because “The moon was falling.” Instead of becoming an instance of SCP-FRC-B, SCP-TME’s body did not degrade or mutate over time and it retained some control over its body for a small period of time after putting on SCP-FRC. SCP-FRC fell off two (2) hours later, leaving SCP-TME in comatose state for the next 24 hours, its body changing ages at a notably accelerated rate as SCP-FRC’s markings spread across its face.
SCP-TME was provided with a yellow fox mask after this incident when it expressed discomfort over its appearance.
