Dr. Herrick: Oh, uh, you're looking pretty grumpy there.
SCP-18097: …
Q: I don't think I'm allowed to do this, but uh, hiya.
A: …You're not allowed to say hello?
Q: … Well, I can say hello. You didn't let me finish, that's all. I'm supposed to just ask you some basic questions, but before that, I wanted to see you how you're feeling.

Q: If you don't feel like answering, you don't have to.
A: …

A: I'm not asking again.

The interview was terminated at this point and Dr. Herrick was asked to leave. SCP-18097 attempted to escape its containment chamber as Dr. Herrick was preparing to exit. SCP-18097 was subdued via electric shock collar and the ERPA Motion sensors in Layer 3 of the containment chamber were activated. An incapacitating agent was released into the containment chamber via Layer 2's tubing system and all personnel were instructed to wear their gas masks while the ERPA system was active. Dr. Herrick was escorted out of the containment chamber safely and no other personnel were injured during the event.
Dr. Herrick was requested to continue bypassing the Standard 1.2.9 Interview Protocol for his next contact with SCP-18097. Director Moreno has been notified of Dr. Herrick's request and will review the interview before coming to a decision. As a courtesy, Dr. Magovney has also been notified of Dr. Herrick's request and has been granted access to view the interview and its transcript.
The next interview is to be conducted in two (2) days by Dr. Magovney, with Director Moreno on standby outside of the containment chamber to observe. Dr. Herrick may observe.
