BEGIN MEETING TRANSCRIPT
Dr. Quinn: It's been a full year since SCP-████—now NULL—was reclassified. I'd like to begin this session by acknowledging what many of us already suspect: we're in unprecedented territory.
Capt. Yurek: Let's not sugarcoat it. What we've got is a mild-mannered anomaly with mass pacifying effects on at least a dozen female-humanoid SCPs. Some of whom were previously considered volatile or psychologically unstable.
Dr. Lang: Statistically, containment events at Site-███ involving female-hostile or female-humaniform SCPs have dropped to zero in the past 13 months. There have been no fatalities. No attempted breaches. Zero casualties. Nothing.
Agent Lorentz: That kind of peace is practically unheard of in any Foundation site of this scale.
Site Director ████: I've read the compiled interactions. SCP-811 has requested shared mealtimes. SCP-085 has started drawing portraits of NULL unprompted. SCP-166, 105, and 073-F have submitted repeated session proposals for "intellectual or emotional exchange." These aren't anomalies acting out. They're… forming bonds.
Capt. Yurek: That's the problem. At what point does "containment pacification" become emotional compromise?
Dr. Halperin: From an Ethics standpoint—consent, boundaries, and respect all apply. NULL hasn't crossed any lines. These SCPs aren't exhibiting manipulation or coercion. In fact, they're demonstrating autonomy in the healthiest way we've seen since initial intake.
Dr. Quinn: [sighs] He doesn't provoke it. He doesn't even encourage it. He just… exists. Calm, grounded, present. It's not pheromonal. It's not psychic. It's… something else. Some of the staff are calling it "emotional nullification." Like he fills a void they didn't know they had.
Site Director ████: What concerns me is how far this will go. Do we let it evolve? Interpersonal attachment leads to emotional dependency. What if one of them feels rejected? Or worse—what if NULL reciprocates?
Dr. Lang: No signs of active reciprocation. Emotional neutrality seems consistent. Friendly, respectful, but distanced.
Agent Lorentz: SCP-1471 is the only exception, and even then, it's been stable. She appears more affectionate lately, but not disruptive. Still keeps her proximity to NULL and no one else.
Capt. Yurek: I still think we need to notify the O5 Council. If they sign off on this level of leniency, fine. But if this spirals into inter-anomalous attachment or poly… whatever, we'll be unprepared.
Dr. Quinn: I've already submitted the preliminary report to O5-█ and O5-██. Response is pending. For now, I suggest we document. Observe. Let it develop within safe parameters.
Dr. Halperin: Perhaps what we're seeing isn't a risk, but a model. NULL isn't the anomaly. He might be the control.
[Short silence follows.]
Site Director ████: Fine. Draft an observation proposal. Keep an eye on SCP behavioral shifts. No physical contact permitted beyond documented norms. NULL remains under full surveillance.
Dr. Quinn: Understood.
Dr. Lang: And if the Council rejects it?
Site Director ████: Then we put a stop to it. Or pretend we can.
END MEETING TRANSCRIPT
LOG 44 CLOSED
NOTES: Awaiting clearance update from O5 Command. Behavioral patterns involving NULL and secondary SCPs under close review. No breaches, fatalities, or psychological breakdowns recorded since NULL's arrival at Site-███.
