AUDIO LOG TRANSCRIPT – LOG 32

INTERVIEWER: Dr. Quinn

ATTENDING PERSONNEL: Dr. Quinn, Dr. █████, Agent C. Leroux

BEGIN AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Dr. Quinn: Initiating controlled introduction. Subject NULL is now entering Chamber C. SCP-049 is restrained, per standard protocol. Begin behavioral monitoring.

SCP-049: [stands still, observing quietly] Curious…

NULL: [calmly, hands in coat pockets] Hey there. You the Plague Doctor?

SCP-049: [soft chuckle] Indeed. I am the one known as such. And you… [steps forward slightly, unthreatening] You are remarkably well.

Dr. █████: Note: No immediate attempt at physical contact. No declaration of pestilence. Continue observation.

NULL: Thanks. Been told I'm pretty sturdy.

SCP-049: [tilts head, visibly intrigued] No rot… no corruption… no imbalance. How fascinating. You are not cured, for there was nothing to cure to begin with.

Agent Leroux: [low tone, to Dr. Quinn] That's a first.

Dr. Quinn: [nodding] He's never said that before.

SCP-049: [slowly walks around NULL, hands clasped behind back] You are unlike the others. You do not carry the stench of sickness, nor the madness of the pestilence. In fact, your humors are in remarkable balance. A walking paradox.

NULL: [still relaxed] I take care of myself. Mental wellness, balanced meals, eight hours of sleep.

SCP-049: [laughs warmly] Ah! A man after my own creed. Balance, indeed. Tell me, how long have you been this way?

NULL: Honestly? Not sure. Things started getting weird not long after I stopped being D-Class. But I've always been chill, I guess.

Dr. Quinn: [typing] No hostility. Tone from SCP-049 is curious, even deferential. Body language suggests comfort, not caution. Mild rapport forming.

FILE ADDENDUM 32-A: SCP-049 PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW POST-INTERACTION

"He is not afflicted. There is no ailment within him that I can detect."

"His constitution is... rare. Natural, perhaps. But also impossible. He is not a threat, nor a patient. I believe he is an anomaly of health."

"If I could bottle what resides in him, the world would no longer suffer the pestilence."

Dr. Quinn: SCP-049, do you feel any need to… cure him?

SCP-049: No. [firmly] He does not require the cure. He is the absence of the pestilence. I believe… I shall enjoy his company.

NULL: [light shrug] You're not bad to talk to, either.

Agent Leroux: [to herself] Plague Doc's got a buddy now.

Dr. Quinn: [chuckling softly] Add it to the growing list.

FILE ADDENDUM 32-B: NOTES ON GENDER-BASED ANOMALY RESPONSE PATTERNS

Confirmed: No anomalous attraction, increased request frequency, or behavioral change observed in male SCP subjects during interactions with NULL.

SCP-049, SCP-073 (Cain), and SCP-1053 all report standard or even improved cooperation during interactions.

Emotional draw appears to be limited to female-coded or female-presenting humanoid SCPs, primarily those categorized as Safe or Euclid. No observable manipulation or inducement mechanisms yet discovered.

Dr. Quinn: SCP-NULL, you've just become the first person to have a peaceful, friendly chat with SCP-049 in, well, ever.

NULL: [half-smiling] Glad I could help. He's actually kind of interesting when he's not trying to perform autopsies.

SCP-049: [bowing slightly] I look forward to our next discussion, dear friend.

[END OF LOG 32]
