Eventually, he had drifted into a peaceful slumber on the cold floor of his containment chamber. It was strange for Simon that Wahnsinn Asylum had placed him in his own chamber, rather than a cell, to say the least – then again, everything about the Asylum was strange to him. According to the town locals, Wahnsinn Asylum was an old, decaying building filled with screaming lunatics, murderers, arsonists, rapists and who knows what, but Simon was not given that impression. He hadn't seen anyone being raped, or any dead bodies – come to think of it, he hadn't heard a fire alarm or heard any screaming. Truthfully, not a single sense of Simon's body could testify to the claims of the locals./p

The containment chamber Simon lay in was a soft, chalk-like white, with a gentle, brick-like orange running along the walls in a singular stripe, just a foot or two above the floor. The floor of the chamber was also rather nice, made from small white tiles with a black engraving around each tile's edge, smooth enough to let Simon sleep on the tiles without being too uncomfortable. However, it was cold. Freezing, even. Simon couldn't understand how a seemingly infamous asylum, filled with the countries most dangerous convicts (and probably backed by the government) couldn't afford a heating system – then again, perhaps they could. Perhaps they were purposefully torturing him with the cold, testing just how far Simon could go before his whole body would start to shut down. But why? Maybe they would use the information in the future, as a punishment or sadistic show to watch when the researchers were bored? As Simon slept, his mind wandered further, asking more and more questions along the way. Who are the researchers? What does Wahnsinn mean? What is an SCP? However, one question stuck out like a sore thumb in Simon's mind: Is there only seventy-nine convicts? It was this one question that confused Simon the most. The townsfolk had said to Simon that hundreds, if not thousands of prisoners and criminals had been sent to Wahnsinn, and yet they had named him 'SCP-079'./p

Just behind the guards, Simon could make out another figure, dressed in a white lab coat. The figure wore glasses, had ginger hair and carried a few pens in his coat pocket. However, the most striking feature, for Simon at least, was the blood-red medallion that the doctor wore around his neck./p

Simon looked the doctor in the eyes for a quick second. He could've sworn that somewhere in his smile there was an ounce of grief. "Anyway, my name is Dr Bright – I'll be your lead researcher for the time being." In a mere moment, it appeared to Simon that Bright was once again back to his happy self. "By the way," Bright whispered, "Your computer is on. I want you to hack into the camera feed of SCP-035, some idiot turned it off." Bright grinned. Simon nodded reluctantly, not knowing what an "SCP-035" is./p

They went on, "Do the job Dr- I mean SCP-963-2 asked of you, and no spying on us through your silly computer." Simon nodded. Finally, the guard left./p

Glancing towards the computer in his cell, Simon gave a sweet, nostalgic smile; perhaps containment wasn't that bad after all. Turning on the monitor, it glowed blue with its wallpaper: A blue background with a white logo in the middle – with text underneath the logo stating the words, 'Secure', 'Contain', and, 'Protect'. Simon then noticed the Windows icon at the bottom-left corner of the screen. He laughed to himself. "This should be easy, then." Opening a PowerShell window, and a Command Prompt window, he began his work./p

"Could've at least bothered to make a database." To save time, he began to write a little code:/p

Simon had quickly learned that the numbers represented the SCPs themselves. "cam-096-a" and "cam-096-b" were both blacked out and couldn't be turned on, not even with the SCP-CAM tool, although Simon could hear someone crying. Simon gulped – perhaps em style="box-sizing: border-box;"that /emwas a small hint at the reality of the Asylum. Still, the image of Dr Bright's mischievous grin was more than enough to keep Simon happy for a while longer. 'cam-049-a' displayed nothing but a hallway. Venturing further, Simon moved to "cam-049-b", showing another hallway. Simon was perplexed, to say the least. Then, he moved to "cam-049-c", showing yet another hallway with an elevator at the end./p

Finally, he found 'cam-049-d'. Within the room, he was viewing, stood a tall man, dressed as a medieval plague doctor, albeit with a modified beak. Standing beside the plague doctor were two, zombie-like men in orange clothes. "Great, this place em style="box-sizing: border-box;"does /emhave lunatics," Simon whispered. The plague doctor looked around for a brief second, before continuing whatever it was doing. Finally, Simon decided to check one last camera: 'cam-682'./p

Then again, so did his room. The room was tall, wide and had zero cages or defining features – it was essentially just a hallow box with nothing besides a bed and a television. Simon moved the camera, focusing on the bed. On the bed, lay an athletically competent man in boxers, with a metal medallion around his neck (that couldn't be quite made out from the blur of the camera), staring directly at the camera that had turned to face him. The man, rather casually, seemed to be 'just chilling', his hands placed behind his head. Simon stared at the man for a bit, then the room, and then the man some more, moving the remote camera away and back to the man each time. Suddenly, the man gave a toothy grin./p

Like what you see?" The man smirked at the camera, noticing its sudden movements, which were being caused half by Simon frantically attempting to change the camera before the two guards walking in on him spotted him checking cameras he shouldn't be checking, and half by Simon wanting to talk to anything but a man flirting to him whilst locked up in a cage in a supposed mental Asylum for the criminally insane./p

The containment chamber Simon lay in was a soft, chalk-like white, with a gentle, brick-like orange running along the walls in a singular stripe, just a foot or two above the floor. The floor of the chamber was also rather nice, made from small white tiles with a black engraving around each tile's edge, smooth enough to let Simon sleep on the tiles without being too uncomfortable. However, it was cold. Freezing, even. Simon couldn't understand how a seemingly infamous asylum, filled with the countries most dangerous convicts (and probably backed by the government) couldn't afford a heating system – then again, perhaps they could. Perhaps they were purposefully torturing him with the cold, testing just how far Simon could go before his whole body would start to shut down. But why? Maybe they would use the information in the future, as a punishment or sadistic show to watch when the researchers were bored? As Simon slept, his mind wandered further, asking more and more questions along the way. Who are the researchers? What does Wahnsinn mean? What is an SCP? However, one question stuck out like a sore thumb in Simon's mind: Is there only seventy-nine convicts? It was this one question that confused Simon the most. The townsfolk had said to Simon that hundreds, if not thousands of prisoners and criminals had been sent to Wahnsinn, and yet they had named him 'SCP-079'./p

Simon clenched his fist, frowning at the guards towering above him outside of his containment chamber's cage./p

Just behind the guards, Simon could make out another figure, dressed in a white lab coat. The figure wore glasses, had ginger hair and carried a few pens in his coat pocket. However, the most striking feature, for Simon at least, was the blood-red medallion that the doctor wore around his neck./p

Simon looked the doctor in the eyes for a quick second. He could've sworn that somewhere in his smile there was an ounce of grief. "Anyway, my name is Dr Bright – I'll be your lead researcher for the time being." In a mere moment, it appeared to Simon that Bright was once again back to his happy self. "By the way," Bright whispered, "Your computer is on. I want you to hack into the camera feed of SCP-035, some idiot turned it off." Bright grinned. Simon nodded reluctantly, not knowing what an "SCP-035" is./p

"Alright, we'll be patrolling the outside of your chamber, try not to cut yourself on anything or I'll have to drag you to the medical bay." They went on, "Do the job Dr- I mean SCP-963-2 asked of you, and no spying on us through your silly computer." Simon nodded. Finally, the guard left./p

Glancing towards the computer in his cell, Simon gave a sweet, nostalgic smile; perhaps containment wasn't that bad after all. Turning on the monitor, it glowed blue with its wallpaper: A blue background with a white logo in the middle – with text underneath the logo stating the words, 'Secure', 'Contain', and, 'Protect'. Simon then noticed the Windows icon at the bottom-left corner of the screen. He laughed to himself. "This should be easy, then." Opening a PowerShell window, and a Command Prompt window, he began his work./p

Furthermore, nosing around a few directories, it quickly became apparent to Simon that the names of every camera were stored in a text file. Simon sighed. "Could've at least bothered to make a database." To save time, he began to write a little code:/p

Bright somehow waved sarcastically. Simon lay down in silence, thinking in deep thought. Perhaps this Asylum wasn't so bad, or perhaps he just hadn't seen the worse of it. Simon was interrupted from his thoughts from the sounds of movement coming from his computer. Looking at the screen, Simon noticed a man walking around in a room, wearing a white porcelain drama mask./p

The mask looked up at the camera pointed directly at it, causing Simon to jump./p

I'd be careful, whoever you are – wouldn't want to broadcast yourself doing dirty things like that other scientist a while back." Simon gave a sigh of relief – at least the mask hadn't caught on that he was an SCP himself./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;" data-p-id="a9821b28e2dfa1d554f70b9eb9294419"Simon continued flicking through cameras: "cam-106-a" displayed a metal box, "cam-106-b" displayed an old man sitting within the box. Simon had quickly learned that the numbers represented the SCPs themselves. "cam-096-a" and "cam-096-b" were both blacked out and couldn't be turned on, not even with the SCP-CAM tool, although Simon could hear someone crying. Simon gulped – perhaps em style="box-sizing: border-box;"that /emwas a small hint at the reality of the Asylum. Still, the image of Dr Bright's mischievous grin was more than enough to keep Simon happy for a while longer. 'cam-049-a' displayed nothing but a hallway. Venturing further, Simon moved to "cam-049-b", showing another hallway. Simon was perplexed, to say the least. Then, he moved to "cam-049-c", showing yet another hallway with an elevator at the end./p

Finally, he found 'cam-049-d'. Within the room, he was viewing, stood a tall man, dressed as a medieval plague doctor, albeit with a modified beak. Standing beside the plague doctor were two, zombie-like men in orange clothes. "Great, this place em style="box-sizing: border-box;"does /emhave lunatics," Simon whispered. The plague doctor looked around for a brief second, before continuing whatever it was doing. Finally, Simon decided to check one last camera: 'cam-682'./p

Then again, so did his room. The room was tall, wide and had zero cages or defining features – it was essentially just a hallow box with nothing besides a bed and a television. Simon moved the camera, focusing on the bed. On the bed, lay an athletically competent man in boxers, with a metal medallion around his neck (that couldn't be quite made out from the blur of the camera), staring directly at the camera that had turned to face him. The man, rather casually, seemed to be 'just chilling', his hands placed behind his head. Simon stared at the man for a bit, then the room, and then the man some more, moving the remote camera away and back to the man each time. Suddenly, the man gave a toothy grin./p

Like what you see?" The man smirked at the camera, noticing its sudden movements, which were being caused half by Simon frantically attempting to change the camera before the two guards walking in on him spotted him checking cameras he shouldn't be checking, and half by Simon wanting to talk to anything but a man flirting to him whilst locked up in a cage in a supposed mental Asylum for the criminally insane./p

Simon let out all the sudden stress in a sigh./p

The guards looked at each other, both very confused, before unlocking the cage./p
