Okay I finally got around to making Gabriel's and Theo's file ✌️
Full Name - Dr. Gabriel Mercer
Position - Senior Researcher, Memetics & Cognitohazard Division
Site Assignment - Site-19
Dr. Gabriel Mercer is considered one of the Foundation’s foremost specialists in unstable memetic structures and identity-degrading anomalies. Despite repeated disciplinary reviews regarding insubordination, hostile conduct toward staff, and deliberate withholding of information from superiors, Mercer remains indispensable due to his unusually high resistance to cognitohazardous influence.
Mercer is known for his severe sleep deprivation, chain-smoking habits, chronic leg pain in his right leg, and tendency to continue research during active containment emergencies. Psychological evaluations repeatedly describe him as:
“brilliant, volatile, manipulative, and catastrophically self-destructive.”
Multiple researchers have reported that Mercer displays little regard for his own safety, particularly during containment breaches involving reality distortion or memory corruption.
He is not permitted to work alone following Incident-19-MERCER.
Psychological Evaluation Excerpt
“Dr. Mercer exhibits clear symptoms of chronic paranoia and emotional compartmentalization. He maintains emotional distance through sarcasm, intellectual superiority, and deliberate antagonism.”
“Despite this, Mercer forms unusually intense attachments to select individuals. Said attachments appear to override standard Foundation protocol.”
“Recommendation: continue mandatory psychiatric observation.”
“He laughed during the evaluation when asked if he valued his own life.”
During testing with SCP-███, Dr. Mercer remained inside an active cognitohazard chamber approximately eleven minutes beyond evacuation protocol.
When questioned afterward, Mercer stated:
“I almost understood it.”
Three staff members exposed during the incident required Class-C amnestics.
Mercer refused treatment.
Dr. Mercer has received formal warnings for:
Unauthorized experimentation
Tampering with security logs
Verbal altercations with Ethics Committee representatives
Repeatedly bypassing lockdown procedures
“Encouraging hostile workplace dynamics”
No disciplinary action has successfully altered behavior.
Frequently seen with Dr. Theo Whitlock despite multiple reassignment attempts.
Maintains a hostile relationship with most administration personnel.
Has unofficial reputation among junior staff as:
“the researcher you call when the screaming starts.”
Full Name - Dr. Theodore Lucien Whitlock
Position - Research Specialist, Behavioral Analysis & Interrogation Division
Site Assignment - Site-19
Dr. Theo Whitlock specializes in anomalous interrogation techniques, behavioral manipulation, and high-risk communication with sentient SCP entities.
Whitlock is regarded as exceptionally charismatic and dangerously persuasive. Personnel evaluations note his ability to rapidly gain trust from both Foundation staff and hostile anomalies alike.
Several Ethics Committee members have expressed concern regarding Whitlock’s tendency to treat containment as “a game of psychological leverage.”
Despite numerous complaints regarding arrogance, provocation of coworkers, and deliberate escalation of interpersonal conflict, Whitlock maintains one of the highest successful negotiation rates in Foundation history.
Psychological Evaluation Excerpt
“Dr. Whitlock displays narcissistic tendencies, emotional masking behaviors, and a compulsive need for control within social environments.”
“Patient consistently redirects serious questioning into humor or flirtation.”
“Subject appears fully aware of his psychological profile and actively weaponizes it.”
Whitlock has demonstrated:
Exceptional resistance to intimidation
High emotional intelligence
Reckless curiosity during anomaly interaction
Habitual disregard for personal boundaries
Persistent antagonization of senior staff “for entertainment”
Several reports indicate Whitlock intentionally provokes Dr. Gabriel Mercer during meetings to observe reactions.
This behavior has not ceased despite repeated warnings.
Interview Log WHITLOCK-22
During negotiations with SCP-███, the entity reportedly ceased hostile behavior after approximately seven minutes of conversation with Whitlock.
When later asked what he said to the entity, Whitlock responded:
Further questioning yielded no additional information.
“Dr. Whitlock is either one of the Foundation’s greatest assets or a future disaster waiting to happen.”
Known to maintain unusually close association with Dr. Gabriel Mercer.
Shared involvement in no fewer than 14 classified incidents.
Multiple staff complaints regarding:
“unprofessional behavior bordering on conspiratorial.”
No formal investigation has successfully produced actionable evidence.
