Interviewer: Dr. J████ A████████
Interviewed: SCP-002-IT
Dr. J████ A████████: Alright SCP-002-IT, are you conscious of your abnormality?
SCP-002-IT: Ti cadono i occhi dalla stanchezza, dottore! Lei non vorrebbe un cafe ho forse qualcos'altro? Ah, e chiamami Piave, quel strano nome che mi avevi dato e' troppo lungo per una conversazione.
D: Alright Piave, please answer my question… even though a coffee wouldn't be bad (whispers).
SCP-002-IT: My anomaly eh? Of course I'm aware of it, what's the point?
D: You can control the river's water within 20 meters. If you think about it, it can be dangerous.
SCP-002-IT: Se proprio te devo cavarse 'na spissa, I'd never hurt people. You see, I'm one with Italians, I can understand them, like if I could enter in their mind to understand what they want in common.
D: Wait, are you telling me that you can read thoughts?
SCP-002-IT: No, no… No, no… how can I explain? If the people's majority wants something, hates something, I'm always on their side. Always and anyway.
SCP-002-IT gives the interviewer a cup of coffee
D: Are you telling me that we have a sort of hive mind?
SCP-002-IT: I don't think so, no idea… How's the coffee?
D: It's good, it has something different from other coffees that I've drunk; what have you put in? (coughs slightly)
SCP-002-IT: A bit of sgnappa, to strengthen your soul!
D: A bit of what?! Are you trying to poison me?
SCP-002-IT: Sgnappa. It's grappa, like they call it in Friuli.
The doctor puts aside the cup and notes the previous answers on a notebook.
D: We know that you've been involved with the RIDIA: what can you tell us about them?
SCP-002-IT: Oh, you're talking about these of the anomalies institute… It has been a while, they were good people. Maybe slightly less strict than your organization, but very professional at the same time. They also used a word and a number, maybe Latin. I think something like Traian…
D: Their reports have been made after WWI. Have you been involved with it?
SCP-002-IT looks out of the window.
SCP-002-IT: I'm not proud of it…
D: I beg your pardon?
SCP-002-IT: Yes, I've been involved in the four year war… You see, these Austrians had already come once: they begun killing my brothers, they settled on a side of my shores. Initially I told myself "No Piave, you don't have to intervene. These are things a soldier or an assassin would do…"
D: Did you say "your brothers"?
SCP-002-IT: I mean our compatriots, let me continue. At a point most of these Austrians ran along the river during the night, I raised the water so the current would bring them away from the conflict. I made a mistake, the Austrians' bodies piled up in a spot of the river forming a sort of dam.
D: Go on.
SCP-002-IT: They drowned, thirteen people. Even though they were enemies, I didn't want them dead, I didn't want to kill them… You see, they all had families, children, wives or mothers waiting for them at home… how did they live without them?
D: Sorry if I made you remember those events.
SCP-002-IT: No problem, the only thing I can do is to remember them, I'm the only one who remembers these persons… while their screams were choked by my currents…
D: How did the Italian Kingdom's army react??
SCP-002-IT keeps looking out of the window with a thoughtful look
D: Piave? Please, answer to the question…
SCP-002-IT keeps looking out of the window without answering to the following answers; the expression on his face suggests regret. The doctor nervously drums his fingers on the table, and ends the interview after around three minutes of continued silence.
Interviewer's notes: Apparently SCP-002-IT has many regrets about its past. The entity entered a meditative state after personnel left the room, not answering to questions on the matter. It's advised to not ask SCP-002-IT other questions on WWI or the Piave battle as he may behave the same way and become less collaborative.
