SCP-3275-JP

Euclid

SCP-3275-JP operates from the life ship LL-8101. SCP-3275-JP is guaranteed complete freedom of movement, and must receive support from the life ship LL-8101 personnel when carrying out its missions. The life ship LL-8101 personnel will provide information on sites where paratech gadgets are stored, and guide the user to said sites.

Description: SCP-3275-JP is a humanoid entity wearing blue-based armor and various equipment, and calls itself "Diving Lifeguard Bathyscaphe Ultramarine." The equipment possessed by SCP-3275-JP is as shown in the table below.

Equipment Description
Propulsion device SCP-3275-JP calls it "Aquasonic." It allows for high-speed and highly flexible propulsion and braking by emitting jet water currents from multiple locations.
Armor SCP-3275-JP calls this "Durable Armor". Notably, it has been able to function without issue even in the Japan Trench, which is over 8,000 meters deep. Its face is also covered in armor, and no cameras have been spotted, so it is presumed that it does not recognize through sight.
Loading device SCP-3275-JP calls this "hypertractor". It is capable of lifting loads of around 1,000 tons using an unknown power source. It is able to maintain containment without any problems, as it cannot destroy a containment chamber that has activated its defenses.
Exploration device SCP-3275-JP calls this "Dispair Searcher". It has extremely high sensitivity to vocalizations and swimming sounds that indicate drowning.
Communication device SCP-3275-JP calls this "Hope Sender". It is capable of telepathic communication with a specified target through an unknown method.
Non-anomalous diving equipment Active sonar, depth gauge, compass, etc. SCP-3275-JP claims that this information is always displayed within its field of vision.

Containment History: The Foundation has constructed numerous undersea sites, and SCP-3275-JP's existence was first confirmed during the construction of an undersea site off the coast of Japan. The following is an audio recording of the incident at the time of discovery.

Audio Recording SCP-3275-JP - 1 - Date 2017/01/03

Subject: SCP-3275-JP

Victim: Agent Nishito Naoya

Note: Agent Nishito was in charge of the construction of Submarine Site-81HT, and at the time of the incident, he was in charge of the highly dangerous crane work, so he was wearing an atmospheric diving suit 1 instead of a submarine.

<Start of recording>

Victim: 10m slur 2. Resin concrete pump landed without any problems. Pump ship, please wait until further instructions. Work boat, please hold the pump. OK.

Victim: Pump ship, please inject the resin concrete. Injection confirmation. No abnormalities found, please continue.

Work boat: This is the work boat, understood. Thank you for your hard work. We'll take care of the rest here, so please surface quickly.

Victim: Understood. I'll leave the rest to you. [Sigh of relief]. Visibility is poor with a camera-equipped workboat. Even though we need our naked eyes, we'd rather not dive almost completely naked.

Workboat: I wish we could put a submersible with an acrylic dome window into practical use.

Victim: It can't be helped. The construction of the undersea site is urgent. Oops.

Workboat: Is something wrong?

Victim: We've been working too long. The oxygen concentration seems low and it's hard to breathe. We will immediately surface.

[Sound of a jet of water. ]

[Shattering sound. The victim's atmospheric diving suit is destroyed by the jet of water released by SCP-3275-JP to brake. ]

SCP-3275-JP: My name is Ultramarine! Bathyscaphe Ultramarine, a diver rescuer! I can sense the despair of the drowning man! Let's save him!

[The victim's neck was severed by the high-pressure water that flowed in from the crack created by the impact of the jet stream, and he died.]

SCP-3275-JP: Shake off your despair! Let's return to the light together!

[SCP-3275-JP grasps the atmospheric diving suit and quickly surfaces.]

SCP-3275-JP: Come on, have hope! You will be saved!

<Recording ends>

A workboat witnessing the entire incident shared information about SCP-3275-JP holding the atmospheric diving suit in which the victim was sealed to the pump ship working on lowering the resin pump. The information was also immediately shared with the general-purpose capture vessel SSG-8101 "Onahama" accompanying the ship for escort, and SCP-3275-JP was spotted at a rendezvous point identified by matching the workboat's sightings with passive sonar information. At this time, combat was conducted with SCP-3275-JP, which resisted, but it was successfully contained without issue.

Addendum: This incident was initially presumed to be an attack on the Foundation by the Choden Rescue Team. Below is a transcript of an interview conducted to confirm whether there was any hostility.

Audio Recording SCP-3275-JP - 2 - Date 2017/01/03

Subject: SCP-3275-JP

Interviewer: Researcher Nishito Masumi

Note: This interview was conducted after questioning regarding SCP-3275-JP's equipment.

<Begin recording>

Interviewer: SCP-3275-JP, please tell us what your intentions were in this action.

SCP-3275-JP: My name is Ultramarine. Bathyscaphe Ultramarine! A lifeguard who will clear away despair! That's why I went to save him! But I was too late!

Interviewer: It wasn't that I was too late, you killed him. Would you like to see the autopsy results? The high-pressure water flow caused by your braking destroyed the atmospheric diving suit, and the water that entered through the destruction severed his neck. No other anomalies or objects capable of firing high-pressure water jets have been found at the scene. At this point, we have no choice but to conclude that there is no one else capable of doing this other than you.

SCP-3275-JP: What are you talking about! I definitely rescued him! Stop with these false accusations! I may not be able to see outside, but I'm using echolocation so I know his head wasn't cut off!

Interviewer: [Several seconds of silence.] I can see that he has no hostile intentions. I will then change my question. Would you cooperate? You cannot be released until the interview is over.

SCP-3275-JP: There is nothing more to say! I told you about my equipment earlier! I can tell where drowning people are. There are many drowning right now! I have to go and help them!

Interviewer: That's what I was wondering. How does the phenomenon of being able to find the location of a drowning person work?

SCP-3275-JP: I can feel what a drowning person feels! The shortness of breath, the darkness, the loneliness! The closer I am, the stronger my empathy! Their despair, their cries for help, are what motivate me! I must find them and save them! Only I can do this!

Interviewer: So you take pride in your work.

SCP-3275-JP: Saving people is the role of the Super Electric Rescue Team! Of course!

Interviewer: So please tell me why you didn't check the condition of the person in need of rescue until the end.

SCP-3275-JP: Yes? What do you mean!

Interviewer: According to what you said earlier, you can empathize with drowning people, right? I assume that you always empathize with them as long as they are suffering, is that correct?

SCP-3275-JP: That's right. That's why I can understand the pain of those who drown because rescue was too late! And because I understand that, I can help them appropriately!

Interviewer: If the condition of the person being rescued changes, their pain will increase or decrease. Since your drowning detection system can sense pain in real time, you should be able to infer their condition from the pain they feel. Why didn't you do that?

SCP-3275-JP: What? Condition? Increase or decrease in pain?

Interviewer: [Silence for several seconds.] Have you heard of the term decompression sickness?

SCP-3275-JP: Decompression sickness? What's that?! If a person stays in water for too long, they will die! That's why they must be rescued immediately! That's all there is to it!

Interviewer: Understood. I'll explain that there's more to it than that. Decompression sickness refers to various symptoms that occur when a person moves from a high-pressure environment to a low-pressure environment rapidly. When this happens, the gas molecules saturated in the blood turn into gas, and blood cannot reach the area beyond that point. The various health problems that occur in this way are collectively called decompression sickness.

SCP-3275-JP: High-pressure environment?

Interviewer: It means deep water. I believe the risk of decompression sickness increases at depths of 8 meters or less.

SCP-3275-JP: Basically, what does that mean!?

Interviewer: If you dive to a depth of 8 meters or less without any clothing, you risk death if you do not slowly surface.

SCP-3275-JP: [Several seconds of silence.] 8 meters. I rescued a child from sinking to that depth about four months ago.

Interviewer: How did the child's pain change?

SCP-3275-JP: I don't know. I wasn't aware of it, so it got mixed up with other suffering. Interviewer: Decompression sickness is a disease in which gas molecules in the blood turn into bubbles and block blood vessels. Blood clots form in areas where blood is not reaching the vessels, causing pain, and the pain of bubbles forming in joints and muscles is unimaginable. It is said that lung cells can even rupture. If it gets to that point, there's no choice but to die from respiratory distress.

SCP-3275-JP: What have I done? So what you said earlier, that the armored man died because of me, is that really true? It wasn't some lie to upset me.

Interviewer: Yes. Agent Nishito Naoya. An agent in the Construction Division, and an ideas man who has successfully developed various technologies. And he was my husband.

SCP-3275-JP: [Silence for a few seconds.] 8 meters. I once rescued a child sinking to that depth about 4 months ago.

Interviewer: How has the child's pain changed?

SCP-3275-JP: I don't know. I wasn't aware of it, so it got mixed up with other suffering.

Interviewer: Decompression sickness is a disease in which gas molecules in the blood turn into bubbles and block blood vessels. In places where blood is not reaching the right place, blood clots form, causing pain, and if bubbles form in joints or muscles, the pain is unimaginable. It can even cause lung cells to burst. If it gets to that point, the only thing you can do is die from respiratory distress.

SCP-3275-JP: What have I done? So, is it true that the armored man died because of me? It wasn't some lie to upset me

Interviewer: Decompression sickness is a disease in which gas molecules in the blood turn into bubbles and block blood vessels. Where blood is not reaching the proper place, blood clots form, causing pain, and if bubbles form in joints or muscles, the pain is unimaginable. It can even cause lung cells to burst. If it gets to that point, the only thing you can do is die from respiratory distress.

SCP-3275-JP: What have I done? So then, is it true that you said earlier that the armored man died because of me? It wasn't some lie to upset me.

Interviewer: Yes. Agent Nishito Naoya. An agent in the Construction Division, an idea man who had successfully developed various technologies. And he was my husband.

SCP-3275-JP: Your husband.

Interviewer: The people you ended up killing were someone's children and husbands. You didn't just kill one person. You put many people around them in the same position as me. That armor that can withstand any high-pressure environment is what made you the worst paramedic you could be.

[SCP-3275-JP clasps his hands, places them on his forehead and hangs his head.]

SCP-3275-JP: It's my fault. I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

Interviewer: Do I have to forgive you if you apologize? People are dying because of the power you used recklessly. You did something that can't be undone. So don't you think it's too selfish to expect forgiveness just by apologizing?

SCP-3275-JP: Then what should I do?

Interviewer: Please stay contained here. Don't let anyone die again. That's all I want.

SCP-3275-JP: But there are still people drowning. Should we just let them die?

Interviewer: That can't be helped. If your life-saving efforts could result in someone dying, you shouldn't take action.

Interviewer: Please stay contained here. Don't let anyone die again. That's all I want.

SCP-3275-JP: But there are still people drowning. Should we just let them die?

Interviewer: That can't be helped. If your life-saving efforts could cause people to die, you shouldn't act.

SCP-3275-JP: It's frustrating, but that's true. I shouldn't move.

Interviewer: I'm glad you understand. Well then, I'll end the interview.

SCP-3275-JP: Wait. What if you guys move?

SCP-3275-JP: Look, I have a Despair Searcher, right? It can tell you the state of a drowning person very well. It's so sensitive that you can really feel that the Earth is a sphere. It can also detect things in real time. Well, you can't tell by mouth.

[SCP-3275-JP shares its sensing information with Researcher Nishito through thought sharing.]

Interviewer: I understand. Because it only detects drowning people who exist above the crust, it is perceived as a giant spherical void on the sensor. It's far more useful than a GPS.

SCP-3275-JP: So it's a technology that even you guys want. If you want it, I'll give you the Despair Searcher. But I don't know how to remove this armor, or how the Despair Searcher works. So, here's a deal. Every time the Despair Searcher finds a drowning person, I'll send my senses to your brain using the Hope Sender. I want you to use that information to help the drowning person.

Interviewer: The previous information was macroscopic, and we were unable to obtain details about the person in need of rescue. Please send more detailed sensations.

[Drowning notification information is shared with the interviewer.]

SCP-3275-JP: Are you okay? You look pale.

Interviewer: It feels strange to feel like you're drowning while still being able to breathe, but getting this information is not a bad deal. Your communication device and drowning detection device are both hidden inside that armor, where our technology cannot reach. However, if we can get this information, it will be easy to reverse engineer it.

SCP-3275-JP: If you cooperate with us, you can do as you like with the information. However, if you don't cooperate, I won't provide you with any information. What will you do?

Interviewer: I will consider this, so I will end the interview for now.
