Item #: SCP-7288
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7288 is to be kept in a container of reinforced transparent material in the office of Dr. Noveschosch. It is to be observed at all times through livestreams from three separate video cameras, watched by any three separate members of Foundation staff.
As of Incident 7288-A, SCP-7288 is to be removed from the office of Dr. Noveschosch. Any direct communication between SCP-7288 and Foundation staff is strictly forbidden outside of the controlled environment of interviews; otherwise, it is merely to be observed without any direct interaction.
Description: SCP-7288 is a figurine constructed entirely of diamond. The figurine is blue in coloration, and depicts what appears to be a male human. It weighs 196 grams and is 14 cm in height while in its inactive state.
SCP-7288's anomalous properties come into effect whenever it is not being directly observed by any sentient being, either in person or second-hand means such as video cameras. While unobserved, SCP-7288 will transition to an active state. In this state, it appears to "come to life", showing signs of sentience and moving and acting as if it were a human being. In this state, it is also capable of English speech.
As of Incident 7288-A, it is confirmed that this sentient behavior is not exclusively confined to occasions when SCP-7288 is unobserved. It is possible that it merely chooses to remain immobile while under the observation of humans, but is still capable of movement should it desire to act in these circumstances.
Incident Log 7288-A:
On ██/██/████, SCP-7288 transitioned to its active while still under observation through its designated cameras for the first time. Dr. Darryl Noveschosch was present in his office at the time, and began a conversation with the object. Dr. Noveschosch appeared to become sympathetic towards SCP-7288, and, observing this, SCP-7288 attempted to convince Dr. Noveschosch to release it from its containment. Dr. Noveschosch began to unlock SCP-7288's container, but at this time, Researcher Fundy entered Dr. Noveschosch's office with the intent to stop him, prompting SCP-7288 to return to its inactive state and Dr. Noveschosch to stop his attempt to release SCP-7288.
Following this incident, Dr. Noveschosch was reassigned from his work with SCP-7288, despite his protests.
Note from Dr. Noveschosch: You muffins! Skeppy's a person, you know, and you're just locking him in a box and not even letting me talk to him anymore? This isn't right, none of this is right. Why doesn't anyone else see it?
Incident Log 7288-B:
On [DATA LOST], approached Site-[DATA LOST] and proceeded to [DATA LOST], causing a temporary power outage (Note: This event was also the cause of Incident 7777-C). Taking advantage of this, Dr. Noveschosch approached SCP-7288's containment area and removed it from its case, then exited Site-[DATA LOST] entirely while the majority of the security staff was occupied with attempting to contain SCP-7003 and recontain (these attempts were unsuccessful). The current whereabouts of SCP-7288 and Dr. Noveschosch are unknown.
