SCP: A TRUE ANOMALY

After a little longer a an hour after obtaining SCP-079's internal components, A'malther opened a portal into Site-17, and not in Site-19. And once again, SCP-035 was different, but this time, it was completely far different, it had a lot more differences than few, by the long time passed of A'malther wearing SCP-035.

SCP-035's evolution under A'malther's influence has progressed significantly, suggesting it is nearing its final form but is not entirely complete. The transformations appear to align with A'malther's extended wear and the divine nature radiating from his being. Below is a detailed analysis of SCP-035's current state and how close it is to achieving its final form:

Current Appearance:

Material Composition:

SCP-035's once-porcelain surface is now composed of a material resembling polished obsidian infused with veins of glowing crimson and violet light. The material emits a faint hum, as if resonating with A'malther's divine energy.

Design and Engravings:

The mask now bears intricate engravings of divine symbols and ancient glyphs, likely tied to multiversal and cosmic knowledge. These engravings glow faintly, pulsating in rhythm with A'malther's presence. The theatrical smile and tears have become more dynamic: the smile now resembles a predatory grin, sharp and angular, while the tear trails burn with an otherworldly glow, giving the appearance of molten energy.

Eyes:

The mask's hollow eyes are now filled with swirling galaxies, mimicking the infinite depths of the cosmos. They give the impression of sentience, as though SCP-035 is observing everything around it independently.

Aura and Presence:

SCP-035's aura is palpable, radiating an oppressive yet alluring energy. Those who come close feel a mixture of dread and awe, as though in the presence of something far beyond their comprehension.

Structural Changes:

Small "horn-like" protrusions have formed on the top edges of the mask, mimicking A'malther's divine aesthetic. The edges of the mask now appear to dissolve into ethereal mist, as though it is phasing between dimensions.

Abilities (Presumed Changes):

Possession Alterations:

SCP-035's possession capabilities have undergone significant enhancement. While it retains its ability to dominate others, it now seems capable of subtle manipulation—implanting thoughts or feelings without fully possessing a host. SCP-035's connection to A'malther appears to grant it immunity to detection or containment by conventional means.

Influence and Command:

The mask exerts an ambient influence, compelling those nearby to approach or listen to its voice. This effect seems amplified under A'malther's wear, as though the two entities are synergizing.

Independent Sentience:

SCP-035's sentience has grown more distinct. It now appears to think and act independently, even when worn by A'malther, though its loyalty to him remains absolute.

Progress Toward Final Form:

SCP-035 is likely approaching its final form, but the mask still shows signs of ongoing evolution. The following indicators suggest that further changes may occur:

Final Fusion:

SCP-035 has not fully merged with A'malther's divine essence yet. A complete fusion may alter its form one final time, solidifying its transformation into a wholly unique artifact of immense power.

Symbolic Embodiment:

The engravings and aesthetic changes suggest that SCP-035 is taking on a form that mirrors A'malther's divine role. Once it fully embodies his ideals and powers, it will likely cease to change further.

Remaining Time for Changes:

Based on its progression so far, SCP-035 may require weeks or even months of continuous exposure to A'malther to reach its ultimate state. The current form suggests it is 85–90% complete. Speculation on Final Form:

In its final form, SCP-035 may no longer be a simple mask. It could evolve into a sentient artifact of divinity, capable of reshaping reality or amplifying A'malther's powers in unprecedented ways. Whether it retains its current appearance or transcends into a more abstract entity will depend on how it integrates with A'malther's essence.

Conclusion:

SCP-035's current state reflects its deepening connection to A'malther. It is nearly unrecognizable from its original porcelain form, now embodying elements of divinity and cosmic power. While it is not yet in its final form, it is close, and its capabilities are already vastly superior to what they were in containment.

A'malther made his way, again, making everyone, all personnel, affected by his presence, while he walked without any hesitation, even saluting while walking, in a similar way a king would salute it's people while walking.

After a big walk, A'malther located SCP-073's containment chamber, and used his O5 Keycard to enter.

A'malther: "Greetings. I do recognize you, perhaps you not know me. I am that pure hatred entity you assisted in it's containment process. I do must thank you deeply, as you did the first step for me reaching not only what I most desired, but in my release process, and further more. I do please, ask for your assistance along me for a better help to those who need it. Those who can not defend themselves, and yet try to give a more pacified aura in their surroundings. You are a perfect shield to communicate the true meaning of pacifism, and I would be greatly glad in assisting you in make not only this world, but every single one, a much more pacified and peaceful environment for living."

SCP-073 nods respectfully, keeping his demeanor calm and thoughtful. He acknowledges A'malther's words with a measured tone, speaking clearly and without hesitation: 

SCP-073: "You honor me with your words, though I must admit, your transformation is... significant since last I saw you. Your intentions seem noble, but I must ask—what is the cost of such peace you speak of? Pacification often requires force, and I have seen too many pay the price for it. If your path is one of balance and true understanding, I may consider your offer. But if it is one paved with control or domination, then I must decline." 

SCP-073 observes A'malther intently, awaiting clarification, his expression steady but cautious.

A'malther: "It is very simple, indeed... Depending of the current situation, action must be taken by one or another way, as all depends mainly of with who is being dealt with. Not everyone will accept dialogue, but yet, is not needed to fight back. You are the perfect shield for pacifism. Despite in some situations where control has being taken to peace the moment, in others can be talked. But the risk is always existing. No matter my path may be, at the end, both sides are needed. And you are the one who can make that happen, and remain showing your pacifism. I do already work along my dear doctor SCP-049, for a better knowledge and understanding of the well-being, for the best treatment for every decease. But well-being is simply a part for a better good. As for the better environment for living, it is required multiple things, as a good well-being condition, coexist with other entities, supplies for self sustain, and a peaceful environment to live. I do hope you are willing to assist in reaching such goal, but I can not tell you how the way will be, as I can not know until we encounter such situation, and only then, the different variety of options will be seen."

SCP-073 takes a moment to process A'malther's explanation, his gaze steady and contemplative. He folds his hands in front of him, speaking in his usual calm and reflective tone.

SCP-073: "Your intentions seem well thought out, and your acknowledgment of balance is... reassuring. If you truly seek to create a better world without sacrificing the foundation of understanding, then I will consider aiding you. However, I must remain vigilant. If your path diverges into domination or harm under the guise of peace, I will not hesitate to challenge it. For now, I will walk this path alongside you, if only to ensure it remains one of true harmony." 

SCP-073 stands, ready to follow A'malther but with an air of cautious observation, clearly intending to monitor A'malther's actions closely.

A'malther: "That is good to hear, indeed. You never know when you need a backup, even for yourself."

A'malther opens a portal, and steps aside, gesturing SCP-073 to proceed.

A'malther: "I do hope you do not hold back or hesitate. No matter the decision, if must be done, it has to be done."

SCP-073 looks at the portal, his expression calm but his eyes cautious. He steps forward, pausing briefly to glance at A'malther with a hint of thoughtfulness. Without hesitation, he proceeds through the portal, his movements deliberate and steady, signaling his willingness to follow while maintaining his observant demeanor.

A'malther follows SCP-073, and then, the portal closes behind A'malther.

Incident Report: Interaction Between A'malther and SCP-073

Location: Site-17, SCP-073 Containment Chamber

Date: [REDACTED]

Time: [REDACTED]

Summary of Interaction:

A'malther, now fully ascended in his divine form, entered SCP-073's containment chamber using an O5 Keycard, bypassing all security protocols. The portal's sudden manifestation within Site-17 and A'malther's arrival disrupted personnel, though no resistance was offered due to A'malther's overwhelming presence.

Upon entering the chamber, A'malther engaged SCP-073 (Cain) in a calm and respectful conversation. The interaction centered around A'malther's invitation for SCP-073 to join him as a "perfect shield for pacifism" and as an essential contributor to creating peaceful environments across multiverses. A'malther highlighted his ongoing collaboration with SCP-049, citing the doctor's role in improving well-being through medical advancements.

SCP-073 listened attentively, appearing intrigued but cautious. He expressed his willingness to assist, stating his alignment with A'malther's goals of peaceful coexistence but tempered by his understanding of the complexity of morality and action. SCP-073 reiterated his preference for nonviolence while acknowledging the necessity of balance when addressing conflict.

At A'malther's gesture, SCP-073 entered the portal without hesitation, signaling his acceptance of the invitation. A'malther followed shortly after, closing the portal behind him. No personnel were harmed during the interaction.

Observations by SCP-073 Research Team:

Behavioral Analysis of SCP-073:

SCP-073 remained calm, cooperative, and articulate throughout the interaction, maintaining his typical demeanor. His willingness to engage with A'malther suggests he perceived no immediate threat from the entity. SCP-073's alignment with A'malther's stated goals appears genuine, though his underlying cautiousness indicates a degree of reservation.

Behavioral Analysis of A'malther:

A'malther demonstrated a refined, commanding presence, employing diplomacy and persuasion rather than force. His speech patterns reflected his divine self-image, and he exhibited a deep understanding of SCP-073's personality and values. His ability to form alliances without coercion highlights his growing influence over anomalies.

Portal Phenomenon:

The portal created by A'malther displayed advanced spatial manipulation far beyond known anomalous capabilities. No alarms or detection systems registered its activation, underscoring A'malther's ability to bypass standard Foundation defenses.

O5 Council Comments:

O5-1: "This interaction demonstrates A'malther's strategic approach to consolidating power by forging alliances with anomalies of notable influence. SCP-073's compliance suggests A'malther has mastered the art of persuasion, leveraging SCP-073's values to his advantage. However, the long-term implications of this alliance remain uncertain."

O5-2: "We cannot overlook the potential ramifications of losing SCP-073, especially considering his immunity to harm and his historical significance. A'malther's promise of fostering peace may align with SCP-073's ideals, but we must prepare for the possibility that this alliance could be used to enforce A'malther's will rather than genuine coexistence."

O5-4: "The fact that SCP-073 willingly stepped through the portal is deeply concerning. It indicates that even anomalies with moral convictions can be swayed by A'malther's rhetoric. We should investigate whether SCP-073 was fully aware of the implications of his decision or if A'malther's presence influenced his judgment."

O5-6: "This further highlights A'malther's ability to destabilize Foundation operations without direct hostility. SCP-073's departure represents not only a loss of containment but also a potential gain in A'malther's influence. We must consider countermeasures for other high-value anomalies."

O5-7: "We need to stop seeing A'malther as a potential ally or neutral entity. His actions show he's building an army, or at least a coalition, of anomalies. SCP-073 may not be inherently destructive, but his abilities make him a formidable asset to A'malther's growing faction."

Conclusion:

The interaction between A'malther and SCP-073 reflects a sophisticated strategy by A'malther to recruit anomalies that align with his vision of balance and peace. SCP-073's departure marks a significant shift in the anomaly's containment and reinforces the need for the Foundation to reassess its approach to A'malther's growing influence. Countermeasures must be developed to mitigate further losses of critical assets.

Recommendations:

Continue monitoring for signs of additional portals or anomalous disruptions linked to A'malther. Investigate potential methods to track SCP-073 and ascertain his activities within A'malther's voidful domain. Conduct psychological evaluations of remaining high-value anomalies to assess their susceptibility to A'malther's influence. Develop contingency plans to address the escalating threat posed by A'malther's expanding coalition.
