Special Containment-049! The Plague Doctor?
...
[Inventory of the top ten Special Containment objects of the Scp Foundation! ]
[Eighth place, Special Containment-049. The Plague Doctor! ]
Seeing this string of information, It attracted the attention of many people.
"Plague doctor? What the hell? Is this Special Containment a doctor who cures the plague?"
"Hearing this name...it's similar to those doctors who cured the plague in medieval times".
"Curing the plague is out of the question, didn't you see most of these anomalies are evil creatures"? On the internet, people had discussions about this new anomaly in the inventory.
"..."
New York, on a surgical bed in a hospital.
"Plague doctor? Maybe this Special Containment can fix my hands"! A look of expectation flashed in Stephen's eyes. Not long ago, he was in a car accident. His hands can no longer be used on an operating table. This is the worst possible injury for a neurosurgeon like him.
He tried everything, but he could not fix his hands. "It would be great if this Plague Doctor could restore my hands".
After all, it has been listed as a Special Containment object alongside that Sculpture and that Shy Guy, which means this Plague Doctor must have some abnormal abilities beyond ordinary people, and it has the title of a doctor. But then he laughed at himself; "I'm so desperate that I actually believed in these things".
"However, there is a patient named Pangborn who seems to have recovered from a spinal cord injury, perhaps I should look into that". He suddenly thought of a patient's file he has come across and murmured to himself.
...
Inside SHIELD.
"Are they not going to release a live broadcast of that Shy Guy's current location? They just skip to the next Special Containment"?
"Sure enough, that SCP 096 Shy Guy and SCP 343 God are probably fake". The SHIELD personnel all breathed a sigh of relief. If that thing really existed, it would be too disastrous.
"Plague Doctor"? Nick Fury stared at the content on the light curtain and then suddenly ordered; "Hurry up and gather as much information about plague doctors as possible"!
Although SHIELD lacks information about the Special containments of this foundation, but, the term plague Doctor is well known and such professions actually existed in the past. Since this Special Containment-049 is called the Plague Doctor, Then there should definitely be some kind of connection!
He ordered again; "Investigate all the information related to the medieval plague doctors".
"Bring up any relevant information about doctors wearing masks shaped like bird beakes".
...
Kamar-Taj.
"Plague doctor"? Seeing such a name, The Ancient One was taken aback for a moment, she muttered to herself; "The next Sorcerer Supreme seems to be a doctor as well"….
Under the curious eyes of countless people, The light curtain flickered, and new information was displayed.
[Special Containment-049; Plague Doctor]
[Object Class: Euclid]
[Description: SCP-049 is a humanoid entity, roughly 1.9 meters in height, which bears the appearance of a medieval plague doctor. ]
[While SCP-049 appears to be wearing the thick robes and the ceramic mask indicative of that profession, the garments instead seem to have grown out of SCP-049's body over time1, and are now nearly indistinguishable from whatever form is beneath them.]
[X-rays indicate that despite this, SCP-049 does have a humanoid skeletal structure beneath its outer layer.]
[SCP-049 is capable of speech in a variety of languages, though tends to prefer English or medieval French.]
[While SCP-049 is generally cordial and cooperative with Foundation staff, it can become especially irritated or at times outright aggressive if it feels that it is in the presence of what it calls the "Pestilence".]
[Although the exact nature of this Pestilence is currently unknown to Foundation researchers, it does seem to be an issue of immense concern to SCP-049.]
[SCP-049 will become hostile with individuals it sees as being affected by the Pestilence, often having to be restrained should it encounter such.]
[If left unchecked, SCP-049 will generally attempt to kill any such individual. SCP-049 is capable of causing all biological functions of an organism to cease through direct skin contact. How this occurs is currently unknown, and autopsies of SCP-049's victims have invariably been inconclusive.]
...
As soon as these data appeared, people on the earth reacted instantly.
"What"? "A doctor who exterminates the plague"? "So this thing is really a Special Containment that is beneficial to humans"?
"Are you crazy"? "Can't you see the rest of the information at all"? "If this thing senses the plague, it will kill that person immediately"! "Such cruelty, do you think he is beneficial for human beings"?
"In the Middle Ages, If you didn't pay attention to the spread of the plague, it could infect a large area! And with the level of medical treatment in the Middle Ages, killing the source of the plague directly was the best option"!
"That's right"! "And compared to the sculpture and the Shy Guy, this Plague Doctor can be called a good guy"!
"..."
Inside SHIELD.
A group of executives who were still nervous looked bewildered now. Apart from the abnormal characteristics of this plague doctor, compared with the previous two anomalies, this Special Containment-049 can be considered kind. Even from a certain point of view, It can be said that he is the kind of great person who does not hesitate to bear infamy in order to protect more people.
"No"...Nick Fury stared at the information that emerged on the light curtain and whispered; "Since this thing is a Special Containment, it can't be so simple"! He frowned, it seems as though there's extremely important information not yet displayed.
