Item #: SCP-ES-137
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-ES-137 shall be contained in his current residence. Given that SCP-ES-137 suffers from generalized anxiety with severe agoraphobia and social phobia that keep him confined in his home without seeking human contact, his containment depends on the continuation of these conditions. To facilitate it, SCP-ES-137 will be kept in the most lonely state possible, ignorant of his isolation.
Essential administrative contacts with SCP-ES-137 to keep the concealment (City Hall, socio-sanitary help, water, trash, and energy companies, taxes, etc) will be carried out through physical or electronic mail. No personal signatures nor personal contact signals are to be included in those messages.
SCP-ES-137 has supervised access to the Internet to facilitate both manipulative interventions and psychiatric evaluations but has been conditioned to avoid any interaction with other human beings. Any communication tentative with SCP-ES-137 must be carried out through electronic systems that allow total anonymization of the interlocutor, who must always act following psychopathic, oppositional or antisocial behavior patterns.
Instrumental campaigns of persecution, social defenestration, and emotional abuse will be designed. They will be applied if the object adopts more positive attitudes or mentalities regarding its identity, its self-image, the quality of its academic performance, or in the online electronic entertainment activities in which he is a participant.
As a precaution measure in emergencies where supervision is impossible for any reason, various subroutines have been installed in all applications with online identity profiles used by SCP-ES-137. These subroutines change personal data and images for offensive or ridiculing messages for other users. An 84% probability of absolute electronic ostracism has been achieved by this method.
Up to five guard personnel members assigned to SCP-ES-137-1 will be kept to perform the inevitable face-to-face interactions with the object (food delivery, medical care, products ordered via the Internet, experimentation). Unless volunteers come forward, those five staff members will be D-Class subjects and will not be informed of the anomalous properties of the item; they will only be informed of their mission and how to avoid their anomalous properties. No other human being is allowed in SCP-ES-137-1. Any intruder will be arrested, questioned, and amnesticized.
If attempting to leave his home, SCP-ES-137 will be sedated and returned to it by a guard personnel member. The rest of the guard personnel will dress in the uniforms of emergency medical personnel and will inform SCP-ES-137 that he has suffered a syncope when he regains consciousness and will leave his home. Any other duty personnel will be picked up by the next duty team as soon as possible.
Description: It is assumed1 that SCP-ES-137 is a 26-year-old human that responds to the name Luis Enrique Puertas Roig, resident of [REDACTED]. SCP-ES-137 was identified as anomalous on 07/16/2008 (already on his currently occupied address) when his anomalous properties first manifested.
Physical contact Presencial contact Any contact, be it physical or not, that may produce sympathy towards SCP-ES-137 will activate his anomalous property2. As soon as SCP-ES-137 breaks visual contact with the human he's interacting with, the latter will instantly dematerialize.
At least eighty-three people (including six Foundation Agents and thirteen D-Class Personnel members) have been dematerialized from their interactions with SCP-ES-137.
SCP-ES-137-1, the block of flats in which the item resides, had been deserted when his anomalous properties became evident after the disappearance of his father3. Fortunately, only two other neighboring families lived in SCP-ES-137-1 the moment he manifested his anomalous property. Said families had completely disappeared, and SCP-ES-137 reported their disappearance.
Two groups of Local Police investigators and a team of reporters disappeared after interviewing SCP-ES-137, at which point the Foundation took over its containment. Five Agents were affected before their anomalous character was described. Since then, only volunteers with psychopathic personality traits have been able to come into contact with SCP-ES-137 and emerge safely4
To ensure that the subject was not aware of the arrival of other human beings to the building with whom to interact, it was acquired and quarantined by the Foundation. Shortly after, the street to which the object overlooks was closed to traffic for the same reason when at least three people whose usual routes passed through this street were declared missing.
Addendum SCP-ES-137-A: Experimental contact; Incident ES-137/48/02/19/2016
| Incident ES-137/48/02/19/2016 (█) |
| Date: 02/19/2016 (█) |
Informing: ES-137 Containment Team |
Supervising: Dr. R. Barnard |
| Anomaly: SCP-ES-137 | ||
Context: After five years of complete monitoring of all electronic traffic on the subject, I can say with certainty that the subject is addicted to the Internet. He has been provided free access to all the electronic entertainment he wants, provided that such entertainment does not involve conversations with human beings outside of experimental situations; for the same reason, his browser has been intervened. The social media features available on otherwise ubiquitous services have been hidden from him at the present time.
He has not left home in six years and has stopped all the online courses he has signed up for. The strict control of his finances and the application of directed social engineering guarantee that the subject spends without saving, but does not appreciate his material possessions, leaving him trapped in his socio-cultural stratum. Containment is guaranteed and we can start experimenting in a completely controlled way.
At this time, SCP-ES-137 is exposed to experimental contact with a semi-intelligent avatar designed to act as a mediator to provide psychological support to the subject. It is waited for the subject to fall asleep in front of his computer to create a cover-up pretext (the so-called "only-a-dream maneuver"); then his headphones are activated (with a low-fidelity microphone) and contact is made.

AI celeste.0: Hello, Luis!
(Item does not wake up. A new attempt is authorized)
AI celeste.0: Hello, Luis! Come on, wake up.
(Object agitates but does not wake up. Snoring5)
AI celeste.0: //(Singing voice)/ Luis~
(Item partially wakes up)
SCP-ES-137: [UNINTELLIGIBLE]
AI celeste.0: Hello! Are you awake?
SCP-ES-137: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] W… (Yawn) who is this?
AI celeste.0: My name is Celeste. I'm your friend.
SCP-ES-137: I have no friends…
AI celeste.0: Yes, there's me. Hewo! Don't worry, I just want to introduce myself today.
(Background distorted noise)
SCP-ES-137: Are you… are you real? Like, a real person?
AI celeste.0: Yes! (Laughter #13) I'm sorry, I've sneaked into your computer. I just wanted to meet someone new. Your name is Luis, isn't it?
(Distorted background noise)
SCP-ES-137: Yes… Yes, I am… Are you real? (Laughter) You are real!
AI celeste.0: Yes. (Pant #2) What else could I be?
SCP-ES-137: I'm sorry, it's just I haven't talked with anyone in… years!
AI celeste.0: Woah, that sounds sad. Don't you feel lonely?
(Background noise. Distorted)
SCP-ES-137: Sometimes. Some… (Trembling voice) Sometimes. Hey, do you hack many other people?
AI celeste.0: Yes! All the time! It's the trend. Hasn't it ever happened to you?
SCP-ES-137: (Sob)
AI celeste.0: Hello? Hey, hey, big boy, are you OK?
SCP-ES-137: (Open cry, laughter, open cry) No! It had never happened to me, Celeste! They're always ratkids on game servers and weird guys' emails and comments… (Open cry) Thank you, thank you for hacking me.
(Background noise, intensifying. Possible moan)
AI celeste.0: (Pant #5) Gee! It's the first time someone says that to me. Hey, someday I'll introduce you to my buddies, alright?
(Background distorted noise)
AI celeste.0: Hey, Luis, what's that noise?
SCP-ES-137: (Sniffles) Ah, must be my cat. She's very possessive, every time I have a nice time with— (Background noise, intensifying. Cat meowing is confirmed, short snort) But she's very nervous today! I'll show it to you, look…
AI celeste.0: Show it to me? How?
SCP-ES-137: I have a webcam!
AI celeste.0: Woah! Alright, let me see it!
(Cat growl)
SCP-ES-137: Ow, stop Lupe! Her name's Lupe, she's usually a hon, she's the only one that supports me when I find nasty people on forums and chatrooms and— ouch!
AI celeste.0: Are you OK, Luis?
SCP-ES-137: She scratched me, she son of a-! Look, punished, bad cat! (PC camera initialization sound)
The presence of the object in the visual field of the camera is confirmed. Notable deficit of personal hygiene for the prevailing cultural standard. Interior of the apartment matches plan and team speculation; accumulations of inorganic trash and other debris on all available surfaces.
AI celeste.0: You don't go out often, do you? (Laughter #22) It's just like mine.
Item smiles. Movement can be seen on one of the highest shelves in the room.
SCP-ES-137: Really? I thought everyone else had clean and beautiful homes like… I don't know, on TV series!
AI celeste.0: (Pant #4) No, babe, no. You get those with money, the others—
A feline (possibly Abyssinian cat) can be seen jumping from higher shelves in the room. (Eyes two standard deviations larger than the average for an Abyssinian cat.) Black irises. Golden fur; rubbing sound and light refraction compatible with gold wire. Golden fangs. Feline hits the PC camera. Signal lost.
Suspended vital signs from celeste.0 supervisory personnel (Disconnection)
SCP-ES-137: Lupe!
AI celeste.0: …
The security guard accesses the secure cubicle of the celeste.0 personnel. The personnel has been dematerialized. Suspended image.
SCP-ES-137: Lupe! Ouch! (Sobs) Stop, stop, you're hurting me… that girl wanted to talk with me! (Scream) Yes, yes, I'll pick you, I'll pick you, I'm sorry…
The security guard is instructed to abort the experiment by following standard contact rules.
AI celeste.0: …
SCP-ES-137: Celeste! Sorry, my cat… she's very brute today, she's a little possessive…
AI celeste.0: Leave me alone, you pig.
Communication cut.

SCP-ES-137: (Muffled voice) Celeste?
(Meowing)
SCP-ES-137: (Muffled voice) Celeste, I'm so sorry, are you there?
SCP-ES-137: (Muffled cry) Celeste?
SCP-ES-137: (Cry) Please…
SCP-ES-137: (Cry) I just want somebody to… listen to me.
(Meowing)
SCP-ES-137: Lupita… (Cry) Why are you the only one…?
SCP-ES-137: (Cry)

SCP-ES-137: (Silence, rhythmical breathing; item asleep)
(Meowing, sustained purring)

Comments: It is the first time that we have attempted contact through a simulated person. I was afraid that this would happen; it happened with letters, with phone calls, and with SMS. A machine might survive, but until we are certain that true artificial intelligence will survive, I'd prefer not to risk them.
Regarding "Lupe", that is the Greek name for "sadness" or "cowardice", also known as the eighth ancient capital sin. It's not proof of anything, but until we know what we're dealing with (and yes, I suspect something like SCP-ES-150 or SCP-ES-081), it's better not to interact with them at all. I suggest it receives the special designation "SCP-ES-137-2" from now on; I mean, it appears to be a cat made of gold and we have no idea where it came from.
Until we know what is what, we'll keep them isolated… for the good of all. — Dr. Barnard
