SCP-2761

Dr. Watkins: (Looks down at floor.) Yes, sir.

Dr. Nakamura: (Looks to the left corner of the room.) Yes, sir.

Researcher Liu: We've been looking into your sales records for a while now. There's been some... questionable products you have on the market. Would you like to fill me in on your thoughts about this?

Dr. Watkins: They aren't a hazard.

Researcher Liu: Excuse me?

Dr. Nakamura: (Under breath.) Pearl.

Dr. Watkins: We were careful to make sure all fish were sterile before putting them out in the market. We know the risks of crossbreeding with the wildlife. If you're thinking that any of our fish could reproduce with the wildlife then—

Researcher Liu: Dr. Watkins, we're not interested in Aquagene's overall business operations, we're only interested in one particular specimen.

Dr. Watkins: (Surprised.) I'm sorry, what?

Dr. Nakamura: So, you — we're not in any legal trouble for selling our fish?

Researcher Liu: At the moment, no, though that may change depending on if you can help us or not.

Dr. Watkins: Um, all right... What... What particular product are you talking about, exactly, then?

Researcher Liu: In August of last year, it appears you were starting up a new line of modified fish that would be released during the holidays.

Dr. Nakamura: (Looks up, and appears excited.) Oh, the Scenty Fish!

Dr. Watkins: (Rolls eyes, annoyed.) Marcus...

Researcher Liu: Would you care to explain more about these?

Dr. Nakamura: Of course, sir! See, our idea was to make a tropical-themed fish set, sort of Hawaii in December, if you will. And, we wanted to introduce these fish as a sort of living air freshener...

Dr. Watkins: Marcus...

Dr. Nakamura: We were going to go for the classic samples. Our plan was for the selection to include apple goldfish, strawberry tetras, orange clownfish, raspberry and blueberry bettas...

Dr. Watkins: Marcus...

Dr. Nakamura: ... pineapple puffers, and banana pipefish!

Dr. Watkins: (Slaps forehead with right hand. Angrily.) Oh my god, Marcus, will you please shut up about your Scenty Fish? I know, I know, they were your project proposal, and we agreed to go through with them, but Jesus, can you please not advertise to this man about —

Researcher Liu: Did you say "banana pipefish"?

Dr. Watkins: Yes, he did. I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I can explain. What is it about this fish you wanted to know?

Researcher Liu: It is possible that one of these specimens escaped from your company's aquarium some time in September of last year.

Dr. Watkins: ...I'm sorry?

Researcher Liu: On March 3, a research group of ours managed to catch... (Researcher Liu produces a picture of SCP-2761 in its initially discovered form, which resembles a yellow, 2 meter alligator gar with early signs of leg development.)... this organism. Can you identify it?
