Containment is Magic

Dir. Light,

Classified documentation pertaining to several SCP objects has been circulated along the senior staff offices of Site-19’s East Wing. There appears to be a picture of a cartoon horse included in each of them. An example has been attached to this correspondence.

Although I suspect the culprit to be a uninspired prankster, I would advise investigating the matter.

Charles, did you check your profile picture?

Dir. Light,

Upon review of the previous sent email, I discovered my personal account might have been compromised by a similar effect. I appear unable to undo the changes to my signature as well.

Please escalate this to the IT security office, as I am no longer able to correspond with colleagues in a professional manner.

Dear colleagues,

It's not just printed documentation. The SCP-6317 file seems to be affected as well. If something is changing the files, it could be someone in the database or some sort of anomalous effect.

If that's the case we should look into Gamers Against Weed. Sounds like their style.

Doubt it, check out the PoI files for GAW. Also changed.

Rights, did you draw that yourself? That's not the one I saw this morning on your profile.

Very good picture, Alto. I like how the ponies frolic, they are very much cute.

In my country, ponies are fat and flooffy. I have included the picture for reference.

Alto don't forward sensitive staff emails to Dmitri!

You're right though. Not only is the PoI file for Jude Kriyot/bluntfiend affected, so is the file for Wilson's Wildlife Solutions.

Why didn't I get a ponysona?

To all senior staff: Technician Rosen has been able to locate the source of this apparent prank and is currently reverting the updates. It will be resolved in the next hour.

Alto: report to my office.

DATE: 2017 APRIL 01

Subject of meeting: Personnel review of Agent Alto Clef's conducts

ATTENDING:
Director Sophia Light
Agent Alto Clef

[BEGIN LOG]

[Several seconds of silence on the recording. Director Light exhales deeply as she flips through several pony-themed drawings.]

LIGHT: Alto.

CLEF: Soph. Or should I say Sparkleshine?

[A pause. Director Light leans back in her chair and pinches the bridge of her nose.]

LIGHT: You can’t keep doing this to me, Alto.

CLEF: I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about, ma’am.

LIGHT: No? You have no idea about this?

[She holds out a printed copy of Dr. Kondraki's badge (See relevant document).]

[Agent Clef is visibly struggling to hold back laughter.]

LIGHT: I’ve warned you about messing with documentation and Foundation administration before.

CLEF: You did.

LIGHT: So you should know not to mess with this.

CLEF: I should.

[A pause.]

CLEF: Are you actually going to do something about it this time?

LIGHT: I — what?

CLEF: If you warn, you got to follow through. You don’t follow through. So, are you actually going to reprimand me for ponyposting?

LIGHT: Ponyp- [She shakes her head.] You… want me to suspend you?

CLEF: If that’s fitting for my behaviour, you should. But I’m not trying to do your job for you, of course.

LIGHT: You know it’s not like a vacation, right? You’d be limited to your dorms and your paperwork won’t be filed in your place.

CLEF: I’m not trying to get out of paperwork this time. I just think I've been given more leeway than anyone would deem reasonable.

[Agent Clef lifts a snow globe off of Director Light's desk and shakes it.]

CLEF: It started when you warned me for damaging Foundation property and violating office space. Which was wholly unprofessional behaviour on my part, and should've led to real repercussions. But for some reason, you let it slide.

[He throws the snow globe in the air and catches it, staring intently at the insides. It appears to display a horse figure now.]

CLEF: Several days later, you warned me to tone down the Reality Bending during my seminars, that the exposure was too intense.

LIGHT: You said that was special effects.

CLEF: I say a lot. [Sigh] Point is, you never suspended me, when just about any other staffer would’ve been. You waffled on that, and I can't stand for it.

LIGHT: You're serious?

[He sighs and places the snow globe back on the desk.]

CLEF: I tried to suspend myself already, but apparently I’m locked out of that system.

LIGHT: You bizarre little —

[She pauses and inhales, leaning forward in her chair, rubbing her temples.]

LIGHT: Is this a cry for help?

CLEF: I simply want you to be fair… Sparkleshine.

[END LOG]

CLOSING NOTES: After reviewing the extent of Agent Clef's April 1st prank on ongoing Foundation operations, an unpaid suspension of a week was deemed appropriate.
