 SCP-374 is a French Revolution-era guillotine, made of oak with a steel blade. SCP-374 manifests no unusual properties when not in use. Any use of SCP-374 to decapitate a live human produces an instance of SCP-3741. SCP-3741 is a severed human head, inhabited by the personality of a French Revolution-era man. Ultimately 35 minutes after instantiating, SCP-3741 is able to see, hear, and speak, and to manifest limited forms of enhanced awareness, enabling it to provide true answers to any questions it is asked. Its strategic usefulness is limited by its argumentativeness, and its antipathy towards the Foundation. Since it is convinced that members and employees of the Foundation are evil murderers, it may attempt to obfuscate, mislead, or change the subject.
