Dr. Cassidy: Good afternoon, SCP-2860, what is it you wished to speak about.
SCP-2860: For the love… of god… Drake. Please, for the sake of my sanity… call me Harold.
Dr. Cassidy: I’m sorry. What is it you wish for to speak with me about, Harold?
SCP-2860: Please… kill me…
Dr. Cassidy: I’m sorry… what?
SCP-2860: I’m falling apart Drake. I can’t eat… I can’t sleep… I feel like there is… a swarm of… fire ants living in my skin! I can’t go on… If you have any mercy… in you… put on a goddamn hazmat suit… grab a gun… and shoot me… in the fucking head! Please…
Dr. Cassidy: Harold… I can’t do that. Even if I wanted too, its just…
SCP-2860 violently coughs for several minutes.
SCP-2860: Then… get the fucking… ethics committee to sign off on it… Have the O5’s give you… a smiley face… sticker… Just, please… I can’t do this… this is just… cruel…
Dr. Cassidy: I just can’t do that. Secure, contain, protect… they have a testing schedule booked for you several months long. I can’t go to them saying, “Hey, let’s kill the man.” If things are getting too much to handle, we could see about getting you some pain killers, or maybe a medically induced coma.
SCP-2860: Wouldn’t that… be nice… Spend the rest of my life… as a vegetable, or drugged out of… my skull… Drake, I don’t know how much worse… this is going to get… I’d rather… take my exit now… on my terms… than die twenty to thirty… years from now… having slept my life away… hooked up to machines… You don’t even have to be the one to pull the trigger… please…
Dr. Cassidy: I’m sorry Harold. I can’t do that.
SCP-2860 hangs up the receiver.

2860-1: Interview Log 2860-1
The following interview was conducted following SCP-2860’s initial containment.
Interviewed: SCP-2860
Interviewer: Dr. Freemont
Foreword: This interview was done following an initial screening of SCP-2860’s anomalous properties.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Freemont: Good afternoon, Harold.
SCP-2860: Afternoon Melissa. I have to say this is really weird. I never really imagined what it was like to be on the other side of what we do here… I can’t say I’m too fond of it.
Dr. Freemont: Go with the flow and everything should work out fine. Now, I have a few questions about that round of testing we just did…
SCP-2860: Fire away.
Dr. Freemont: Your effect is automatic, correct?
SCP-2860: Yeah. I don’t think I have any control of it. It just… happens.
Dr. Freemont: Do you feel anything?
SCP-2860: I do. It’s kind of like the feeling of a small static discharge. Each time the effect happens, it goes off. It's… rather uncomfortable.
Dr. Freemont: Interesting, and you say this happens every time?
SCP-2860: Yeah. Every time…

Addendum: 2860-2: Interview Log 2860-2
The following interview was conducted as part of a standard mental health screening on 10/11/2006.
Interviewed: SCP-2860
Interviewer: Dr. Freemont
Foreword: This interview was done at the end of a standard mental health screening. During the testing sessions prior to this screening, SCP-2860 requested to keep several of the items transformed for its own personal use.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Freemont: One more thing before we are finished for the evening, Harold.
SCP-2860: Go for it.
Dr. Freemont: During the last few testing sessions, you requested to keep a few of the items you transformed into marble. Now, a few of the higher ups have considered granting this request, but first you need to tell us why you would like them.
SCP-2860: [Chuckles] Well, yeah… Its kind of funny. You’d think I’d want to keep them as far away from me as possible. I mean, here I am, having done something incredibly terrible, turning some poor bird or butterfly to stone, and yet, when I look at some of these things, I just… I don’t know… get lost in them. Some of them are so beautiful, like a moment that I trapped in time. I guess this is what some artists must feel after they finish a painting.
Dr. Freemont: So what are you going to do with them?
SCP-2860: Probably just keep them on my desk or something. Look at them every now and then. Especially the sparrow. That one really gets to me… Maybe they will help me feel a little less lonely sometimes.
Dr. Freemont: Pardon?
SCP-2860: You’ve worked for the Foundation as long as I have, Melissa, so I bet you’ve probably had this thought every now and then. You know, "What if that was me?" You think about it when you hear about some new humanoid they contained at Site-64, or some new reality bender they have at Site-81, or when you bump into Bright, or that time guy out at Site-17. You think “What if I had that ability?” or “What if that happened to me?” or “What would I do if I could turn bullets into sand?” You always think about “What would I do if I had that kind of power?” But I bet you never stopped to think about how isolating it is, especially with how we run things at the Foundation. We just put these people in these boxes and hope to learn as much as we can about them before they break down. It’s really quite something to see it from the other side. I guess I want those items, because it would be nice to have something in here that is just as trapped as I am.
Dr. Freemont: I see…
SCP-2860: [Chuckles] As I said before, it’s kind of funny.
<End Log>
Addendum: 2860-3: Update As of 06/10/2015, SCP-2860’s effect has increased in sensitivity from direct physical contact with its hands to direct physical contact anywhere on its body. As a result, the subject is almost constantly covered with a fine marble powder on all exposed areas when outside of a sterile environment. SCP-2860 claims this constant use of its effect causes it continuous discomfort, and as a result has made SCP-2860 increasingly irritable. Special Containment Procedures have been updated to reflect this change. Object class has been upgraded to Euclid.
Addendum: 2860-4: Update As of 07/11/2016, SCP-2860’s effect has increased in sensitivity to not only include direct physical contact with any hair shed by the object, but also transforms all organic matter, living or dead, including the stratum corneum layer of SCP-2860’s own epidermis resulting in a near constant coat of marble dust on SCP-2860’s body. Shed hair seems to maintain SCP-2860’s effect indefinitely. As a result of the transformation of SCP-2860’s skin, the subject claims to be in a near constant state of discomfort. At the time of writing, SCP-2860 is unable to sleep without sedation, and must be fed intravenously due to food undergoing transformation during all attempts of SCP-2860 to feed itself. At the current time, SCP-2860’s internal tissue does not appear to present with the same anomalous properties.
Repeated inhalation of the marble dust generated by SCP-2860’s effect has resulted in dust deposits forming within SCP-2860’s lungs. These deposits have resulted in accelerated silicosis and progressive massive fibrosis. The nearly constant buildup of marble dust along SCP-2860’s eyes has resulted in severe abrasions to the object’s corneas, resulting in SCP-2860 becoming largely blind in both eyes. Medical treatment to alleviate these conditions is currently ongoing. Special Containment Procedures have been updated to reflect this change.
Addendum: 2860-5: Interview Log 2860-3
The following interview was conducted following a standard mental health screening on 17/12/2016.
Interviewed: SCP-2860
Interviewer: Dr. Cassidy
Foreword: This interview was done by SCP-2860’s request following a standard mental health screening conducted via telecast. Due to SCP-2860's progressive massive fibrosis, the object experienced shortness of breath throughout the interview's duration.
