SCP Foundation Personnel File Excerpt
Personnel ID: Dr. Altair [REDACTED]
Site Assignment: Lunar Site-32 (Astronomy & Deep-Space Observation Division)
Role: Senior Astronomer / Anomalous Celestial Phenomena Specialist
Dr. Altair is a petite Caucasian woman, approximately 5'0" (152 cm), with a pronounced gothic aesthetic that stands out even among the Foundation’s more eccentric staff. She maintains a sharp wolf-cut or mid-length black hair that often falls forward to partially obscure her eyes. Her skin is notably pale, her natural canines are slightly elongated (a detail she rarely acknowledges), and her overall presentation—black clothing, silver accents, and a perpetually unimpressed expression—gives the impression of someone who wandered out of a Victorian mourning portrait and into a lunar research bunker. When on duty she wears standard lab coats over dark attire, sleeves usually pulled low.
Dr. Altair was first brought into Foundation custody as a minor under the direct supervision of her father, a mid-level administrator whose name she has never once uttered in any recorded interview, debriefing, or casual conversation. Foundation records note that she was initially classified as a potential Person of Interest due to prolonged proximity to several low-level anomalous artifacts in her family’s possession. She has consistently refused to elaborate on this period, responding to any mention of her father with a flat “We are not discussing him” before redirecting to stellar cartography or observational data. The subject makes it a point of personal policy never to speak of him.
Her trajectory changed dramatically at age 20 when, during mandatory observation shifts at a terrestrial Site [REDACTED], she identified and correctly predicted the orbital path of a previously undocumented Class-IV celestial anomaly—designated later as SCP-████-Ω (“The Hollow Veil”). The anomaly, a vast, star-field-devouring rift that periodically eclipses background radiation in precise geometric patterns, had evaded automated arrays and senior analysts for months. Dr. Altair’s manual cross-referencing of archival photographic plates and real-time spectral analysis not only located the anomaly but proposed a containment-adjacent observation protocol that remains in partial use today.
Her demonstrated aptitude resulted in immediate recruitment as a junior researcher. She has since risen to Level 4 clearance by age 27 and transferred to Lunar Site-32, where she oversees long-range monitoring of deep-space anomalies, lunar occultation events, and potential extraterrestrial signals. Colleagues describe her as brilliant, sharp-tongued, and privately intense about her work; she refers to the stars as “the only honest witnesses left.”
Internal Observation Note: Dr. Altair has repeatedly aligned her schedules with SCP-049’s containment cycles, citing interest in “stellar patterns within anomalous subjects.” Staff quietly note she appears quite taken with the Docteur—especially when he speaks of the stars.
