Date: 14/10/2010
Interviewed: SCP-5274-2
Interviewer: Dr. Kristov
Foreword: This interview was conducted immediately following the results of genetic testing with the goal of discovering more about the origins of SCP-5274. At this point SCP-5274-2 has been made aware of the nature of the anomaly affecting her, and has been informed about the nature of the Foundation. She has proven co-operative after being assured that the Foundation shares her goal of reversing this anomaly.

Dr Kristov: Hello Mrs Stewart, how are you feeling today?
SCP-5274-2 To be quite honest with you, I’m lonely, bored and thoroughly sick of being stuck here without my husband.
Dr Kristov: I’m sorry to hear that Mrs Stewart. I want you to know that we’re doing everything we can to understand what happened to you and your husband, and how we can fix it.
SCP-5274-2: Yes, well, I appreciate the effort but it’s been weeks without so much as even getting to have a real conversation with him. I’m so sick of writing letters.
Dr Kristov: I understand, but the best way for you to help us fix this is to answer our questions. Why don’t we start with your experiences when you were absent last night?
SCP-5274-2: Sure. Same as all the other times really, feels almost like being asleep but I’m aware at the same time. It’s warm and comfortable, and feels like I’m floating underwater but I don’t need to breathe. I feel safe, and sometimes I feel like James is there with me, protecting me somehow.
I tried those exercises you talked about last time, but I still can’t seem to move much when I’m in that place. It feels like my body is so weak and tired, I can barely wiggle my fingers.
Dr Kristov: I appreciate you making the effort Mrs Stewart, keep trying and we’ll keep working at the problem from our end. Now we’ve had the results back from your genetic testing and there’s some quite odd things in there I’d like to ask you about.
SCP-5274-2: It’s not about the heart thing, or the iron deficiency again is it? Because I told you I have no idea what that’s all about, Kathy at work told me all about her anaemia and I’ve never had anything like that.
Dr Kristov: No, it’s actually about your age Mrs Stewart. Your epigenetic profile indicates you’re only 28 or so years old.
SCP-5274-2: Ha! Well, I’ll take that as a compliment but no, I can only wish. I was married a little over 28 years ago, and I was no child bride, I promise you.
Dr Kristov: There’s a possibility the anomaly is throwing off the readings somehow, it’s a very new technology. But we’ve also had a great deal of difficulty tracing anything from either of your childhoods, or anything before you got married really.
SCP-5274-2: Well, I don’t see how digging into our pasts is going to help anything, it’s not like having a disappearing husband is a genetic trait! Aren’t there more actual tests you could be doing instead of poking around in our private business?
Dr Kristov: Please Mrs Stewart, I know all of this has been very difficult for you, but the more we understand, the easier it’s going to be for us to fix this.
SCP-5274-2: sigh Fine. Not much to tell honestly. No siblings and both our parents died years ago. We weren’t in touch with them anyway, they didn’t approve of our marriage. James’s family was from Ireland and a silly matter of religion turned into a feud between the families. We never looked back after we got together.
Dr Kristov: Thank you Mrs Stewart. I’ll let you know anything else we’re able to uncover about your condition.
SCP-5274-2: You do that. Oh, and while you’re here could you show me how to work this ipad camcorder thingymajig? I want to record another video for James.
