SCP: A TRUE ANOMALY

After SCP-049 have joined him, after quite a while moment later he went out of the portal, but not with SCP-999 in his left hand anymore. Then, the portal closed behind him, and he continued through Floor 2, until reaching the containment chamber of SCP-035.

A'malther entered freely using his O5 Keycard, what surprised the SCP-035's Research Team, and the two guards in the room, in the door for entering the real chamber where the mask was being hold inside the glass cage.

A'malther continued, and then teleported inside the chamber, and remained in front of SCP-035, but quickly opened the cage and did hold SCP-035 with his hands.

A'malther: "Greetings, friend. I do hope you can recognize me, after all, it did not pass a really long time after the ceremony of my wedding."

SCP-035: (with a mocking but intrigued tone) "Ah, yes, how could I forget? The divine groom himself has graced me once again. My sincerest congratulations on your… matrimonial endeavors, A'malther. Though I must admit, I did not expect such a rapid reunion. To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"

A'malther: "I do wanted to have you again with me, in my side. I am currently recruiting, and you do have what is needed to fit as my strategist. A mask able to manipulate anyone, and even possess anyone... With proper experience for manipulate other species, and every entity that exists. You will become my specialized tactician. And with you, anyone who desires to defy me, or disrupts the correct work of existence and the multiverse, will have to face us, as from attack from me in outside, and even inside their own front lines."

A'malther: "I will work for give you an own body you can own, but in the mean time, I will let you rest in me. I will wear you to make you enjoy of where I go, I do, and more. You will remain unable to possess me, but yet, I do not know what effects you will receive for being connected to me, if... You connect with me, but... Well, will happen what has to happen. And if you somehow obtain effects from me, I am sure you will become even greater than you could ever be."

SCP-035: (pausing momentarily, voice dripping with intrigue) "Oh, A'malther... what an enticing offer. To be worn by a god, to witness the expanse of your ascension firsthand—how could I possibly refuse? The prospect of basking in your power, of potentially... evolving alongside you, is irresistible. Very well, I accept your proposition. Let us see where this divine arrangement takes us, and what grand designs we can weave together. But do remember, A'malther: even a mask has its secrets. Perhaps, in time, I might show you mine..."

The mask's eerie laughter echoes softly, resonating with a sinister amusement.

Then, A'malther wears SCP-035, and remains immune to it's possession anomalous abilities, as same as when A'malther wasn't divine in their first interaction as SCP-9743. SCP-035 seems to receive effects from A'malther from wearing it, as at first it seemed to, in reality, SCP-035's possession affect A'malther, but very quickly, it stopped as SCP-035 was receiving effects from A'malther.

Interaction Report: A'malther and SCP-035

Summary of Interaction

A'malther entered SCP-035's containment chamber after bypassing standard security measures using an O5 Keycard. He directly removed SCP-035 from its glass containment, holding the mask in his hands before offering it a deal to become his strategist and tactician. SCP-035 accepted the offer with a clear undertone of intrigue and ambition. Following this agreement, A'malther donned SCP-035, resulting in a unique interaction between the two entities.

Observed Phenomena

Initial Possession Attempt:

Upon being worn, SCP-035 immediately attempted to exercise its possession ability on A'malther. This is its standard reaction upon physical contact with any living being. However, the possession was rapidly halted due to A'malther's divine nature and overwhelming metaphysical presence. SCP-035's influence was overridden, and instead, it began to exhibit noticeable changes as it came into contact with A'malther's ascended form.

Reversal of Effect:

SCP-035 appeared to absorb residual energies from A'malther's divine essence. As a result, SCP-035 began to manifest distinct alterations:

Physical Appearance: SCP-035's porcelain surface became marked with faint, glowing symbols in crimson and gold. These symbols pulsed rhythmically, appearing to synchronize with A'malther's internal energy.

Aura of Authority: SCP-035's aura, previously characterized as oppressive and manipulative, now radiated an additional layer of divine authority, amplifying its psychological influence over others. Personnel observing the interaction reported a near-irresistible compulsion to obey when in proximity to A'malther and SCP-035 combined.

Cognitive Clarity: SCP-035's speech became more refined, its tone shifting from malevolent humor to a calculated and commanding demeanor. This suggests a strengthening of its intellect and strategic thinking.

Behavioral Changes in SCP-035:

SCP-035, traditionally manipulative and self-serving, displayed an unusual alignment with A'malther's goals. It referred to A'malther as "My God" multiple times, indicating a deep-seated acknowledgment of A'malther's superiority. This is unprecedented, as SCP-035 typically seeks to dominate or exploit others, rather than submit to them.

Feedback Loop of Power:

A mutual feedback effect was observed between A'malther and SCP-035. While SCP-035 gained divine traits and power from A'malther, A'malther's strategic abilities appeared subtly heightened, as though SCP-035's intellect was influencing his tactical insight.

Effects on SCP-035 Post-Wearing

Divine Infusion: SCP-035 now exhibits traits indicative of divine influence, including glowing sigils and a commanding aura. These enhancements suggest SCP-035 is adapting to its connection with A'malther, potentially evolving into a higher state of being.

Enhanced Manipulative Abilities: SCP-035's ability to influence others appears magnified. Personnel in the vicinity reported an increased susceptibility to its presence, with some briefly losing awareness of their surroundings.

Stabilization of Identity: SCP-035's previously fragmented and erratic nature has seemingly stabilized. It now speaks with unwavering confidence, suggesting that its connection to A'malther is providing a form of psychological coherence.

Comments from SCP-035's Research Team

Dr. █████: "We've never seen SCP-035 so… docile. It's as if the mask recognizes A'malther as something greater and has accepted a subordinate role, willingly or not. The sigils and increased aura make it clear that SCP-035 is undergoing a profound transformation. We can't predict where this leads."

Dr. ███████: "This interaction redefines our understanding of SCP-035. If A'malther can completely neutralize its possession ability and even alter its nature, what else is he capable of? SCP-035 is no longer the entity we've known—it's evolving into something we can't classify yet."

Research Assistant ██████: "Standing near A'malther and SCP-035 made me feel… insignificant. It was like they were two halves of the same divine force, and I was just a bystander in their presence."

Comments from the O5 Council

O5-1: "The transformation of SCP-035 under A'malther's influence is both fascinating and alarming. If he's capable of fundamentally altering an anomaly as dangerous as SCP-035, it confirms his divinity—but also his unpredictability. We need to proceed with extreme caution."

O5-4: "A'malther's recruitment strategy is becoming clearer, and it's unsettling. He's not just gathering followers—he's reshaping them into something new. SCP-035 could become a weapon unlike anything we've encountered before, one we may never be able to counter if it turns against us."

O5-7: "The fact that SCP-035 is willingly submitting to A'malther is a testament to his power. But let's not forget: power always comes at a cost. If A'malther is merging with these entities, he's also opening himself up to their corruption. SCP-035 may gain from him, but it's possible he gains something from it too—something we won't see until it's too late."

Conclusion

The interaction between A'malther and SCP-035 marks a turning point for both entities. SCP-035's transformation into a more stable, refined, and divine entity under A'malther's influence raises significant questions about the nature of his ascension and his recruitment strategy. While SCP-035's containment is no longer a concern, its evolution under A'malther's guidance may pose unforeseen risks to the Foundation and beyond. The O5 Council has resolved to closely monitor A'malther's next steps and any further changes to SCP-035's behavior.
