<Begin Log>
Head Researcher Kanna: Can you elaborate about your situation?
SCP-XXXX-ε: Started about a month ago, when I died during childbirth. Funny thing, dying. I always thought there would be some white light and I would ascend to heaven.
Head Researcher Kanna: What happened?
SCP-XXXX-ε: Sorry, that's a secret. You'll know, eventually.
Head Researcher Kanna: Hmph. Very well then. What happened after your reanimation?
SCP-XXXX-ε: I woke up in the hospital morgue, confused. For a while, I had no clue why I was alive or what to do. That's when she told me where I could find my baby.
Head Researcher Kanna: Who's she?
SCP-XXXX-ε: Xiao Xing. She's… a ghost in my head, I guess? She was a comfort woman for the japs, before they used her as a human sacrifice.
Head Researcher Kanna: I see. I'm asuming she's also the reason why the security cameras caught you phasing through the floor?
SCP-XXXX-ε: Haha, yeah that was pretty cool. But yeah, she's able to let me do that. Managed to phase right through to the neonatal ward, where I found her. My beautiful little baby girl. I wanted to pick her up, when that bastard entered(spits on the floor).
Head Researcher Kanna: Ah yes, the doctor who delivered her. Got quite a scare when he saw you.
SCP-XXXX-ε: (menacingly)I wanted to kill him. If it wasn't for him, I finally would've been able to hold my cutie pie.
Head Researcher Kanna: Why didn't you then?
SCP-XXXX-ε: Xiao Xing. She told me to escape instead. I was pissed, but she warned that anything I did then could endanger my baby. By the way, where is she now?
Note: SCP-XXXX-ε's infant child has been removed from the hospital, and relocated to Site-37.
Head Researcher Kanna: She's on site. Currently, we're looking for a suitable family to adopt her.
SCP-XXXX-ε: (leans forward, speaking menacingly) If I find out you [OBSCENITY REDACTED] did anything to her, I'll-
Head Researcher Kanna: (raises his hand) We have no reason, nor the desire to do so. She is being treated with the utmost care as we speak. you will be able to see her later..
SCP-XXXX-ε leans back in her chair.
Head Researcher Kanna: Now then, between your escape and your encounter with the task force, what were you doing?
SCP-XXXX-ε: Hiding. I wasn't Xiao Xing's first host apparently. She knew about you people, and was looking for a way to contact you. You could say we were pretty lucky to encounter your soldiers.
Head Researcher Kanna : Wait, what do you mean by you're not the first host?
SCP-XXXX-ε: I'll let her explain that.(pauses)And yes, she's listening to the conversation.
Head Researcher Kanna: I see. You mentioned a human sacrifice. Sacrifice for what?
SCP-XXXX-ε: It was 1945. The Japs were failing. One night, they entered the comfort stations and grabbed all the girls, loaded them up on trucks.
SCP-XXXX-ε: They reached a small village, where they were herded into this pit. They waited there for about an hour until the Japs opened fire on them.
Head Researcher Kanna : For what reason? Sounds so… excessive.
SCP-XXXX-ε: Turns out, the japs were in such a hurry, they didn't properly kill everyone. Those who were alive saw a group of men with black faces gather around the pit and begin chanting. The whole place lit up with some weird purple glow, which turned red. She… She could hear the dead bodies screaming, if that makes any sense. But (turns her head to the side as if listening to someone)… Wait hold on, … Yea, but…
Head Researcher Kanna: (leaning forward)Are you talking to her?
SCP-XXXX-ε: (//makes an obsecne gesture at Head Researcher Kanna //) Some privacy please.
(SCP-XXXX-ε continues to communicate with the entity within her head. The converstion lasts for 2 minutes. The text has been removed for brevity.)
SCP-XXXX-ε: She's going to explain what happened. She doesn't like being out for very long, so listen carefully.
(SCP-XXXX-ε's head slumps to the right, before becoming upright.)
SCP-XXXX-ε: They started panicking. Shouting. The light around us was going crazy: blue, yellow, orange. then finally deep red. I remember falling through the Earth, and suddenly nothing.
SCP-XXXX-ε: When I awoke, we were in this place. It's hard to describe what it was. We were formless, within this void, and there we stayed, alone for eternity. Till the first one fell through.
Head Researcher Kanna: The first one?
SCP-XXXX-ε: A mother. She died during childbirth, and was supposed to pass on, but she couldn't. Turns out, she desperately wanted to see her child. In a way, she was no different than us. We never got to see our children. Many of us were pregnant when we were killed. One of us took a gamble and [REDACTED BY O5 ORDER]. It worked. The both of them were pulled out of the void. But it didn't last forever. She fell back into the void when the baby died unexpectedly.
Head Researcher Kanna: Why are some of your kind so hostile towards humans? Is there an explanation for this?
SCP-XXXX-ε: Our lives were traumatic. When you're isolated with no chance of escape, it drives you over the edge. You hold on to whatever you have. Anger. Grief. Pain. It defined them; all humans were monsters, capable only of pain. The only ones they spare are the children, because they remind them of their own unborn children, innocent. For them, it's a way of maintaining some semblance of normalcy; by being a mother.
(SCP-XXXX-ε looks away for a while, shedding a few tears.)
SCP-XXXX-ε: I was like them. Killed a whole village in rage. The only reason I stopped was because of this guy. He and his friend found the baby. Instead of killing it, he gave it to me. Later on, I killed the baby myself, so that I wouldn't kill anyone else.(SCP-XXXX-ε begins crying profusely for several minutes, then stops.) I was stuck in the void, recollecting my thoughts, when she fell through.
(SCP-XXXX-ε's head slumps to the right again, before becoming upright)
SCP-XXXX-ε: What happens now?
Head Researcher Kanna: Due to your unique circumstances, we're making an exception. You won't be contained. We're relocating you nearby the residency of your child, and providing a new identity for you. However, in exchange, you will be summoned when needed as a special asset of our task force to help contain the threats that your kind poses.
Head Researcher Kanna: Aside from that,a personal note:I can't imagine the amount of pain you've been through, the both of you. One thing I will say: I hope that you two are able to find some happiness and peace in this life.
