SCP-R003

Item #: SCP-R002

Object Class: Safe

 Description 

SCP-R003 loos like a turtle. It's body functions in every way a turtle does except for its vocal cords which resemble that of a humans. It also has the ability to speak English. Currently it is unknown if SCP-R003 can speak any other languages. It's ability to speak seems to show us that it has an intelligence above that of any turtle. Currently it is theorized that it's brain would resemble that more of a humans instead of a turtles.

When you express sad feels to SCP-R003 it will begin to follow you. As it follows you it will compliment you until you are happy. Once you are happy it will return back to it's containment. SCP-R003 seems to have the ability to sense emotions, however, doesn't act on sad emotions unless expressed. Unlike SCP-999, SCP-R003 doesn't have the ability to anomalously affect your emotions.

 Special Containment Procedures 

The dimensions of SCP-R003's containment room don't matter as long as it has room to move around. The door to it's containment room may be left open at all times unless there is an emergency (containment breach, raid, etc.). SCP-R003 happily stays within it's containment room and doesn't seem tempted to leave. The only even that SCP-R003 does leave it's containment room is when it is trying to cheer someone up and will happily return afterwards.. As long as SCP-R003 has water to swim in a room to move containment procedures do not matter.

 Addendums 

Addendum-A: Note's from O5-X

"Containing SCP-R003 wasn't hard at all. All we had to do was convince it that we had perfect living conditions for it. It is happy to stay in it's containment room at all times. Currently we are unsure if we need any extra security precautions so we ask that all personnel refrain from interacting with it unless told otherwise." - 2/08/2019

"Further investigation has been conducted and SCP-R003 has been deemed safe by the Scientific Department. Foundation Personnel are allowed to interact with the subject while on break." - 4/08/2019

"After more investigation on SCP-R003 we have seen that it is not tempted to leave it's containment. The door may be open at all times and foundation personnel can interact with the subject at any times unless assigned a task. In the event that SCP-R003 leaves it's containment it is allowed to roam the foundation freely. SCP-R003 may be used as an alternative to SCP-999 when trying to up someone's mood." - 28/08/2019

Addendum-B:

"Message to staff: SCP-R003 has been deemed as safe as SCP-999. We ask that no SD or MTF personnel waste their time on keeping SCP-R003 contained." - O5-X
