Random Scp 049 Thought
It's possible that 049 could've been tried and even persecuted for witchcraft. Outside of 035 manipulating the townspeople to turn against 049; there could've been times where a villagers caught them in the act or traced the undead back to their hideout at the time. What would the plague doctor even do in this situation? Would they go along with it until it becomes to much to bare or just 'cure' the whole village? Or maybe just sneak off before they can do anything about it and become a cryptid to said village.
However, I don't really believe that the Plague doctor would be caught outta nowhere unless 035 is there to turn people against 049 or 049 made enemies with other scientists/doctors before foundation capture. It is possible for one of the plague doctor's old colleagues to make smear campaigns and cause problems for them; but the mask can do that too. Especially since 035 was probably the one who introduced 049 to different people when or if they were ever in a romantic/platonic realtionship.
Or maybe the Mask always has it out for the Plague doctor and wants to terrorize them for the fun of the game.
