 Item number SCP-990-J Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures Currently, no containment measures for SCP-990-J have been devised, and, due to extensive budget cuts, we can no longer keep paying personnel to come up with ideas. All suggestions are welcome, however, do not expect any sort of raise or recognition for your efforts. Also, this may not be the best place to put this, but, while we're on the subject of money, we're gonna have to limit everyone in Site-19 the two cups of coffee per day. SCP-294 refuses to comply with personnel requests for liquids of any kind, and you seriously do not realize how much we spend per quarter on folders alone. It's appalling. Description SCP-990-J is a designation for a human male dressed in Tommy Bahama brand clothing that appears to Foundation personnel through dreams. So far, no Foundation personnel have encountered SCP-990-J in the real world. If he corresponds to an actual human being, we have yet to find him, and because of the aforementioned budget cuts, we probably won't find him. SCP-990-J has been appearing to Foundation personnel since 1993, but his existence as an anomalous entity did not come to light until 2004, when the Foundation Human Resources Department responded to the original tickets submitted a decade prior. The entity did not receive official classification until the events of Incident-990-1. Incident Log-990-1 EverJ-1's junior research technician working in the Site-19 anomalous entity intake ward reportedly failed to clock out for his unpaid lunch on October 21st, 2005, leading to a formal audit the following day. Camera footage of ████ revealed that he had fallen asleep during this period, yet did not possess any knowledge of having done so, insisting he had spent that time doing intake of an entity, preceding to transcribe his conversation with SCP-990-J for use as evidence in the audit. Following the conclusion of said audit, this transcript should be available below for personnel to read. Update, October 23rd, 2005, as per majority vote of the O5 Council ██ will be allowed to retain his wages for time spent asleep on the grounds that he was under the influence of anomalous phenomena at the time. Ready to go, Eddie. Fight the system. Transcript-990-1 Okay, so welcome to Site-19. My name is Edward. I'm a junior technician here, and my job right now is to get some basic information from you and answer any questions you might have about what you're going through as you transition to long-term living here at Site-19. Oh, so like an interview? Yeah, more or less. Cool, cool. Sounds good to me. Alright, please state your name. Uh, what about Bobby? Bobby? Is that your name? Yeah, no wait. How about Phil? Is Phil taken? Taken. That's not how names work. You're right. Bobby is better. Can I go back to Bobby? Bobby it is, then. You know what? You're gonna hate me, but I don't think I'm feeling Bobby anymore. I said it over and over, and now it doesn't sound like a real name. Bobby. Bobby. Just pick something for me. I'm indecisive. I literally can't progress to the next page until I put something in the field for name. I'm going to put Tommy Bahama because of your shirt. SCP-990-J lasts for an objectively uncomfortable amount of time. It really wasn't that funny. Actually, while I have you here, can I talk to you about something? It's important. Uh, sure? Great, great. Great, great. So listen, buddy. Last year, I've been $1,800 a week working from the comfort of my own home. Is it financial independence the best? Yeah, I mean, I guess so. Anyway, you seem like a smart guy, and I like that, so I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. You could also be making this kind of cash, man. You could have two cars and a mansion, too, baby. You just gotta invest in your future. Just in herb-a-life. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. SCP-990-J retrieves a case of supplement and a binder from under the table. Oh shit, you're serious. I am so serious, Ethan. It's Edward. I am so very serious about giving you the opportunities you've only dreamed of. Now, I'm a straight shooter. You're a straight shooter. Let's get down to brass tacks. I want you to be my prime VIP down-line distributor. Can I sign you up for the welcome package or what? Uhhh… SCP-990-J opens the binder in presentation, too. You see, for every distributor you sign up, you get a portion of their earnings and are signed up distributors' earnings and so forth. There is literally no limit to the cash you can make. This is a pyramid scheme. And what now? A pyramid scheme. You know, the guy at the top gets the big cheese, the lesser guys make money based on the number of people you recruit under you, I don't even know what your product is. What does it do? Herbalife is a, ahem, a proprietary blend of antioxidants, enzymes, and essential vitamins specifically designed to rid the body of toxins and… I can see you're reading off the label. You don't know anything about the products you sell, do you? It's organic. It's full of organics. What does that mean? There was more to this conversation, but the transcription is assigned to copy in the interview on the digital storage when laid off. Essentially, SCP-990-J continued to pitch Herbalife for several minutes, despite ██████ obvious growing discomfort of the situation. Tried to push through by bringing out some of the Site-19 residency contracts, the legalese of which SCP-990-J found highly distressing and very airtight. SCP-990-J reportedly produced a smoke bomb from an unknown location and quickly threw it at the ground, causing the room to fill with smoke, with ████ waking up shortly thereafter. Addendum ██-J-A Due to a sharp increase in sightings of SCP-990-J in Dreams of Personnel with suboptimal credit scores, Site-19 has been retrofitted with several thousand R.E.M. inhibiting waveform generators. As of May 12, 2016, SCP-990-J encounters have been successfully reduced by 99%. Incident Log 990-2 On June 4, 2016, O5-1 discovered a hand-written note taped to its forehead as well as 11 tubs of Herbalife Formula 1 advanced nutritional shake mix, three cases of Herbalife Formula 2 multivitamins, and 17 packages of Herbalife Simply Probiotic and Active Fiber Complex when he awoke in his quarters. The note reads as follows, Hey there, killer! Just got you set up with our deluxe package. I'll check back in with you in a week to get an update on yourselves. Remember, always start with a smile. TB O5-1 has denied having any interaction with SCP-990-J. Absolutely preposterous. Now, how would you like to be your own boss? O5-1
