特殊收容措施:
最初,基金会为研究并维持SCP-6020的安保工作建立了生物研究收容区(Bio Unit J4-78,即“金银花Honeysuckle区”)。在对SCP-6020-A的有益属性进行整体评估后,生物收容区J4-88随即被扩建并重命名为Site-171。1因此,SCP-6020和SCP-6020-A应在基金会基础站点安保措施的防护下防止其被发现或扰乱。
应保持SCP-6020-A的直径介于6000米至6500米之间,必要时可通过适当园艺工作对其进行调整。已在SCP-6020-A的周边地区种植了一片树林从而限制外部观察的可能性。SCP-6020自身不可移动,同时无需额外物理收容措施。SCP-6020被认定为一非敌对实体Non-Hostile Sentient Entity(NHSE),并已确认其在精神状态允许的条件下愿意协助基金会的研究人员。
尽管Site-171的职员可以与SCP-6020讨论工作相关的内容2,但仍建议职员在讨论时避免提及极度悲伤或痛苦的内容(例如大规模流血事件或酷刑)。此类话题将会对SCP-6020的精神健康状态造成极强的负面影响,并可能导致项目在一段时间内拒绝进行交流。尤其不应告知SCP-6020具有伦理道德争议、造成大规模人员伤亡或痛苦的基金会行动事件。不应告知SCP-6020D级人员的存在及其作用。SCP-6020的情绪极度敏感,因此上述内容的透露都将可能损害项目与基金会间的持续性关系。
若SCP-6020的态度或行为产生任何重大变化均应立即向Site-171的管理人员报告。
描述:
SCP-6020
SCP-6020为一自称为“大地之神Hepolokoli”的超常性实体。项目现位于一地上部分高4.7米,地下部分长为0.5米的砂岩柱(又称“立石”)上。砂岩柱上覆盖有地衣和苔藓,其上部区域已被部分风蚀。两块较小的石柱(其高度分别为4米/3.8米)被放置于旁边。SCP-6020称这两块石柱是原先放置于主柱周围9根石柱的残余部分。
SCP-6020自称为4000年前一小部落的神灵。该时间与石柱附近出土的人类遗骸的放射性碳测定数据结果相一致。3
SCP-6020能通过一种可适应性心灵感应与外界进行交流,项目声称它也能够通过这种方式与非人种的动植物交流。直至目前为止,项目在很大程度上保持与基金会人员的合作态度。然而,SCP-6020的精神健康状态很差,而且在不安状态下会保持长时间的沉默状态。对项目历史的询问会施它及其痛苦,同时项目也经常认为基金会职员的询问是出于工作义务或礼节性而非真正的兴趣。
SCP-6020-A
SCP-6020-A为SCP-6020的异常影响范围。其大体为一以SCP-6020为中心向四周延伸的球形空间区域。在SCP-6020-A内的生物体将受到以下异常影响:
- 所有种植于SCP-6020-A内土壤的植物将会迅速生长直至达到成熟状态。随后,其生理性老化也将迅速减缓。花朵会在数日内生长完成,并一直维持盛开状态数月。无论是否向其提供养分(如阳光,水分或肥料)都不会影响该情况。而SCP-6020-A内的植物也不会受气候,土壤类型和疾病等外界因素的影响。
- 大多数具有智能的生命体,包括迄今为止与SCP-6020-A接触的所有人类,均感受到了更多的快乐,愉悦及满足感,同时减少了与愤怒,仇恨以及敌意相关的情绪。患有紧张症,焦虑症,抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍等心理疾病的人员均表示当其身处于SCP-6020-A内时自身的症状得到了缓解。在大多数情况下,即便上述人员离开SCP-6020-A后仍会在一定程度上保留该影响效应,与项目的接触时间越长,该影响越严重。SCP-6020对人类个体的异常影响在其周边地区最为明显。在项目周遭约20米的范围内,受影响个体易进入进度兴奋的状态。该区域下称SCP-6020-A2。
SCP-6020-A的直径由SCP-6020所描述的“供奉行为”决定。向SCP-6020进行“供奉”将会扩大项目的大小,而减少或不进行“供奉”将会导致项目缩小。
SCP-6020可以通过在SCP-6020-A的范围内进行虔诚园艺工作而被“供奉”。该“供奉”行为的有效性与上述“园艺工作”是否对正常植物体有益无关。目前发现能够使SCP-6020-A范围扩大的行动包括将一桶水倒在土壤中,为“想象中的种子”挖洞并填埋,以及在草地上使用儿童玩具割草机。相反,使用自动浇灌系统不会导致项目范围的扩大——尽管安装该系统时确实造成了项目范围的扩大。
SCP-6020声称它不会认定哪些行为具有崇拜性,但它可以感知到某一特定行为是否为“供奉”。它声称没有对SCP-6020-A的大小和异常影响进行控制。

附录2 – 补充采访日志:
与Dr. George Stanworth间进行的访谈
前言:由于禁止D级人员接触SCP-6020,基金会决定向受选的志愿者职员开放生物收容区J4-74。研究员Dr.Stanworth,41岁,有抑郁症与焦虑症病史。同时患有晚期诊断的注意力缺陷障碍症(ADD)。在上述访谈进行期间他正在接受恐慌症和焦虑性失眠的相关治疗。
访谈记录
6020-B2-01/06/2018
受访者:Dr.George Stanworth
采访者:Dr.Samuel White
前言:以下访谈于Dr.Standworth离开SCP-6020-A影响范围24小时后进行,此先Dr.Standworth已在SCP-6020-A内暴露了24小时。
[记录开始]
Dr.White:好,如果你们都准备好了,我现在就开始记录。下午好,Dr. Stanworth。你今天感觉怎么样?
Dr.Stanworth:哦,还好。感谢你的关心。还好。嗯…抱歉。我…你知道的,还不是很习惯坐在这采访桌的另一边。呃…或者说那一边…我的意思是…你想想看…算了,当我没说。
Dr.White:你已经表现的很好了,只是还需要一段时间去适应。那么,你能再详细说说这个“还好”具体是体现在哪个方面吗?
Dr.Stanworth:哦,好的,好的,当然。抱歉。我…呃…我[停顿]很好。非常健康,起码和我刚来到这里时一样健康…我希望是这样的。反正依我目前的状态来看,我在金银花区度过的这段时光还没有对我造成任何负面影响。或者说…尚未发现的负面影响,这个还是得看运气。你看,我还没有冲着月亮嚎叫或是发现自己的脑浆从耳朵里流了出来。哈,目前没有。但是确实,我感觉很好。非常好。我的意思是…你懂的…很好。整个人豁然开朗,神清气爽。
Dr.White:我明白了。现在跟我说说你在SCP-6020-A内时感觉怎么样。
Dr.Stanworth:哦…我想…如果这还不算我一生中经历过的最棒的事,你懂的,没有什么能比得上它了。我已经记不得我上一次如此放松是什么时候了。我甚至根本不确定我到底有没有放松过。还有他们在那弄的那个花园?太漂亮了!我根本不算是一个…你懂的,喜欢弄园艺的人,但是在那种气候下的棕榈树!还有那些美丽的紫色大花,哦天哪…[停顿]抱歉,我忘了它叫什么名字了。但你肯定看见过它们,对吧?
Dr.White:我见过。但是博士,我们现在正在讨论你今天的感受。
Dr.Stanworth:好的,是的,抱歉,没错。我跑题了。说得好。我们应该讨论正事。
Dr.White:好。所以当你身处于SCP-6020-A中时,你感觉快乐吗?
Dr.Stanworth:是吗?我的意思是,是的,当然是这样,绝对的。不过…仔细想想,那好像也不完全是我们通常所认为的那种“快乐”?[停顿]抱歉,我好像有点混乱了。
Dr.White:不,这非常有趣。你能解释一下刚才的话吗?
Dr.Stanworth:好。通常情况下,我想…你…呃…会在某些好事发生后感到开心,不是吗?比如说…我不知道…像是得到了一份你想要的工作,吃到了你喜欢的食物,或是看到了一张水獭宝宝手牵手的有爱照片什么的。快乐是一种[停顿]内在性的东西。但是SCP-6020-A,它不像刚才说的这些东西。它更类似于[停顿]当你身处于太空中感受到失重感时的那种感觉。不是说你真的身在太空之中,你懂的,是那种你可以想象到的感觉。当你脱离地球重力的那一刹那,你才突然意识到,你一生都在背负的那个东西,那份施加于身的重力,现在突然消失了。你一生都未意识到这份重量而它现在消失了。你从未[停顿]从未想过这是什么可以从自己身上分开的东西。我的意思是…就算离了它,你还是你自己,这符合自然规律。只有[停顿]我身处于其中时一切才会变得如此简单,但现在我坐在这,我有点[停顿]我想不起来它。我想不起来那到底是一种什么感受。我的结束与它的开始。这很难解释得清。我了解这种感受,但我真的无法把它具体表达出来。[停顿]抱歉, 我开始胡言乱语了,我知道这些话没什么用。
Dr.White:没关系,博士,你的表述对我们非常有帮助。我想我们今天就到这里了。非常感谢你今天能来。
Dr.Stanworth:好的。是,好,谢谢你…呃…做的一切。
[记录结束]
访谈记录
6020-B2-09/07/2018
受访者:Dr.George Stanworth
采访者:Dr.Samuel White
前言:以下访谈均通过视频通话进行,记录于Dr.Stanworth第二次进入SCP-6020-A46小时后。
[记录开始]
Dr.White:下午好,Dr.Stanworth。你今天感觉怎么样?
Dr.Stanworth:向你致以同样的问候,Dr.White。事实上, As a matter of fact, I am feeling even better than when you asked me same question yesterday. Would you like to know what I did this morning? Don't worry, I won’t make you guess. I woke up without feeling tired. Not one little bit. You know, I was beginning to think that waking up and not wanting to immediately roll over and go back to sleep was something I'd invented in childhood. But today, just bam! Up and at ‘em, what’s for breakfast? Incidentally, it was poached eggs. I don’t know if this place makes food taste better, or they've just hired some truly excellent cooks, but as eggs go these were belters.
Dr. White: I take it that you're still enjoying your return trip to SCP-6020-A?
Dr. Stanworth: Immensely. Truth be told, I wasn’t much of a, you know, what's the word? Social butterfly, on my first visit. I stayed in my room for most of the day, just, well, soaking it all in, I suppose? Now I feel like I know the place a little better. I've arranged to go for a bit of a ramble after lunch with a few of the staff members. They've extended the gardens since I was last here, or the forest part I suppose, and they're going to show me the trees. There are some beautiful varieties here. Which I'd probably have said was an odd thing to say about trees before I came to visit, but it's true. My grandmother was always a tree fan. When I was growing up she was very keen that I learn the names of trees and the shapes of their leaves, but I’m afraid I was never a particularly attentive student. The only ones I still remember are Oaks, because they're everywhere, and Monkey Puzzles, because they sounded so silly. You know, I think that higher ups should give some thought to expanding this place. SCP-6020-A, I mean. Not just the Bio Unit.
Dr. White: [pause] Expand SCP-6020-A? And what makes you think that, Dr. Stanworth?
Dr. Stanworth: Well I’m not being mind controlled by the talking rockery, if that’s what you’re worried about. But then I suppose that’s just what I would say if I was being mind controlled, of course, so I suppose you’ll have to decide for yourself when I get back. But this area is deserted for miles around. You could accommodate, oh, hundreds of people here, easily. And the garden could do some some room to grow. They've been testing out fruit trees. They've got apples and pears and plums and cherries so far, but it seems like you can grow anything here, from anywhere. Oh, hold on! Wasn’t there a type of banana that went extinct or something a few years ago? I'm sure I heard something like that. Do we know if anyone has any seeds left? We could bring it back with this place, start a whole new crop.4 Hold on, is that the right word for bananas? A crop? Or do they have some silly name like a murder of crows?
Dr. White: I’m afraid that I’m not especially well acquainted with the particulars of banana farming, but I’m sure that your suggestions will be given due consideration when I hand in my report.
Dr. Stanworth: Oh goodness, I’m so sorry. You must think I’m terribly rude. Here am I blathering on about breakfast and bananas and you probably have a clipboard full of questions to ask before you can get to your lunch. Please, do go on. I won’t interrupt again.
Dr. White: That’s quite alright. I believe this conversation has more or less covered everything I was going to ask anyway. I'll schedule our next talk for the same time tomorrow. Have a pleasant rest of your day, doctor. And thank you for your time.
Dr. Stanworth: And the very same to you, Dr. White.

Interviewee: Dr. George Stanworth
Interviewer: Dr. Samuel White
Foreword: The following interview was conducted 76 hours after Dr. Standworth exited SCP-6020-A, following 168 hours of exposure.
[Begin Log]
Dr. White: Good afternoon, Dr. Stanworth. How are you feeling today.
Dr. Stanworth: I'm well, thank you Dr. White. Quite well.
Dr. White: Could you expand on that a little?
Dr. Stanworth: Certainly, I’ll do my best. Um, so, like before, as far as I am aware, I have suffered no negative side effects from prolonged exposure to SCP-6020-A. No one has remarked upon a change in my behaviour, except that my sister said I sounded happier on the phone, which was nice. I suppose I am, really. Thought of course it may be somewhat psychosomatic. I haven’t had a panic attack since I returned from Honeysuckle, but then it has only been three days, so I suppose I shouldn’t make any firm statements about that.
Dr. White: Thank you, that’s very helpful. Now, when we spoke at the beginning of last week you suggested that SCP-6020-A should be expanded, and more people should be housed within its boundaries. Are you still in favour of that?
Dr. Stanworth: Um, I still think it could be a good idea, yes. Following all proper evaluation and whatnot, of course. I mean, well, it's just rather nice having an anomaly that just seems to make people feel better, After all the [pause] unpleasantness we have to deal with most of the time, it just seems a waste not to make use of something that actually seems to do some good. And I do understand your position of course. I think we've all been waiting for the other shoe to drop, and Honeysuckle to start spewing forth mutant fruit trees or something. Whoever's up there doesn't usually seem very keen on giving us an easy time of things.
Dr. White: Are you a religious man, Dr. Stanworth?
Dr. Stanworth: [laughter] Not especially. But then I have just spent a week with an actual god, tending to a heavenly garden with a plastic lawnmower, so I suppose I should try to keep an open mind. And if SCP-6020-A really is just what it seems to be, well, why not use it, you know? I think we wretched mortals deserve a little paradise once in a while.
Dr. White: I see. Tell me, doctor, how did you feel when it was time for you to leave SCP-6020-A? Did you feel disappointed, for example? Upset? Did you want to stay longer?
Dr. Stanworth: Um. Well, I think it's [pause] it's quite hard to feel disappointed by things like that, while you're up there. That stuff doesn't seem to matter all that much, when the whole world seems to be opened up in front of you. I suppose I felt [pause] content. Honestly, very content. I mean, it is lovely up there, but anywhere else can be lovely, too. Hepolokoli just makes it easier to see that.
Dr. White: SCP-6020 please, for the record.
Dr. Stanworth: Pardon me, quite so. SCP-6020. And I mean, when I was about to come back I wasn't thinking, oh no, what happens when I leave here, am I going to be all miserable again? I was thinking, why don't I feel like this all the time? I felt ready to, well, do things.. It's, um, it's hard to explain. Look, do you remember what I said the first time we met? About it being hard to remember exactly how things feel to you in there? You can remember what the feeling was, but not, um, how you got there? I'm not sure if that's the best explanation, but I can't think of a better one right now.
Dr. White: I remember.
Dr. Stanworth: Right. Um, but I bring it up because I think it's the same when you're inside, but the other way around. I mean, I could remember everything. The panic attacks, the anxiety, the, you know, bad days. But I don't think I could quite understand how those feelings worked. It's like one of those optical illusion pictures of two things in one, but once you see one of them you can't make your brain switch back to seeing the other. When I was about to leave SCP-6020-A, I don't think I really believed the bad stuff would come back. It just seemed too incomprehensible to feel that way. But, well, actually, um, no, look. There's something else but I've just realised I've been going on and on and on, and you're the one who's meant to be asking me questions. Sorry. I mean, not sorry. I mean, yes, no, I do mean sorry in this case, I’m just trying to cut down on saying sorry so much.
Dr. White: Since your second visit to SCP-6020-A?
Dr. Stanworth: Well, yes and no. I mean, it’s been something I’ve wanted to stop doing for years now. But when you get into the habit of something like that it’s hard to shift. But I didn’t seem to say it at all while I was up at Honeysuckle. Well, hardly ever. So I thought, you know, while the iron’s hot and all that. I’d try extra hard to keep it going. But, I'm going off on a tangent again. Sorry. I mean, sorry, you know what I mean. Look, I'll shut up, you ask questions.
Dr. White: It's quite alright. Everything you've provided us with has been most informative. You said there was something else?
Dr. Stanworth: There was? Um, about what?
Dr. White: You were talking about remembering, and said there was something else you wanted to tell me.
Dr. Stanworth: Oh, yes, of course, right. I was just going to say that, that thing I told you about after my first visit. The weight you think is just an inseparable part of you until SCP-6020-A takes it away. Well I still can't properly remember it, not the way I think I could in SCP-6020-A. But I'm [pause] I'm more aware of it, I think. As something that's repeatable. I can feel it like a slightly loose tooth. And yesterday, I just sat down, and closed my eyes, and for a few minutes, I think that I pushed that weight off myself. It wasn't quite like being there, back in Honeysuckle I mean, but it was something like it.
Dr. White: Thank you doctor. That's extremely interesting. I think we might have to schedule a followup interview with someone who's a little more of a specialist than myself.
Dr. Stanworth: Of course. Any time. I mean, you know, within my schedule, of course.
Dr. White: Of course. Can you tell me how you feel towards SCP-6020-A now? Do you want to return?
Dr. Stanworth: Hah, well if that’s an invitation I definitely won’t say no. But I suppose it feels a bit like a long holiday, really. Or a vacation, your lot would say. It makes for a wonderful break, but you don’t really expect to keep going back there every few weeks. It feels too special.
Dr. White: I see. And how would you feel if I told that that you could not go back, ever? That I had decided to ban you from Bio Unit J4-78 because we wanted to study the effects long-term withdrawal?
Dr. Stanworth: Is this the part where you expect me to jump over the desk and threaten to throttle you to death with your tie unless you take me back there?
Dr. White: Is that what you’d like to do, Dr. Stanworth?
Dr. Stanworth: No, no. Just a bad joke, I promise. Poor taste. Absolutely no homicidal urges to report, I assure you. And no compulsion effect demanding my return, as far as I'm aware. In fact, quite honesty, I would have expected to feel a lot worse at the prospect of never going back than I do. But I suppose it's a bit like visiting the northern lights. You wouldn't not want to see them again, but it's really the first time that feels [pause] fulfilling. You know it's going to keep on existing and being admired, and you've made yourself a little part of that story.
Dr. White: Thank you, doctor. Just two last question, then. Earlier, you mention SCP-6020 by name. Did you spend much time speaking with it? And what was your relationship like?
Dr. Stanworth: Well, relationship might be a bit of a stretch. I think everyone up there spoke to it, at some point. When you get really close to it the feeling is just, you know, incredible. Euphoric. But it seems a bit rude to just stand there silently and enjoy Hep- I mean, in SCP-6020’s happy-vibe anomalous thingummy without at least saying hello. We didn’t talk all that much, quite honestly. Poor chap. We spoke a little about how he was feeling, and the garden, I believe. It kept telling me about flowers and plants on the outer edge of SCP-6020-A. I rather got the impression that it wanted me to push off. But also that it didn't, if you know what I mean. Wasn't happy being alone, wasn't happy being with others. Very, ah, familiar. As I say, poor old chap. It was all recorded,
Dr. White: Thank you, doctor. I think we'll end things there. You have been most helpful.
Dr. Stanworth: Very glad to be of service.

Interviews with SCP-6020
Preface: SCP-6020 speaks through a form of telepathic projection and as such cannot be recorded with audio equipment. In the following interviews, SCP-6020's side of the conversation has instead been transcribed by individuals present. While these logs are as accurate as possible, minor errors and omissions may therefore have occurred during transcription. Being in close enough proximity to SCP-6020 to communicate with it induces a sense of intense euphoria, which can result in distraction and atypical behaviour.

Interviewee: SCP-6020
Interviewer: Dr. Lisa Alderman
Transcriber: Dr. Ajda Buchanan
Also Present: Dr. Lisa Chu, Dr. Raphael Nasmyth, Dr. Aidan Sax, Dr. Hana Myoga
Foreword: The following interview occurred nine days after Foundation personnel first made contact with SCP-6020. Due to disorientation from SCP-6020-A's effect, several prior talks with SCP-6020 had failed to be properly recorded.
[Begin Log]
Dr. Alderman Hello Hepolokoli! I hope that you’re doing well today!
SCP-6020 [silence]
Dr. Alderman Would it be alright if we had a conversation?
SCP-6020 You do not have to speak to me, you know.
Dr. Alderman I know I don't have to, but I’d really like to talk to you. Wouldn’t you like to talk to me?
SCP-6020 No.
Dr. Alderman Well I'm sorry to hear that, and I apologise if I've done anything to upset you. If you wouldn't like to talk with me, we could get Mark instead. The guy you spoke to yesterday?
SCP-6020 No. No, you have done nothing. I simply have no desire to burden you further. Any of you.
Dr. Alderman Talking to me wouldn't be a burden, it would be a favour. Please, Hepolokoli? It would really, really help me out.
SCP-6020 [long silence] Very well.
Dr. Alderman Thank you so much, that really means a lot! So, um, I’m going to ask you some questions, if that’s OK, and my friend here is going to write some of the things you say down. Some of them may be questions you’ve answered before, but we’d really like to get them down on paper for our records, in your own words.
SCP-6020 I do not have my own words.
Dr. Alderman Oh? Well, uh, hold on a sec, I wrote these down somewhere because I knew they'd feel terribly unimportant when I was here. OK, right. All ready Aj? So, first of all Hepolokoli, you describe yourself as a god, is that right?
SCP-6020 No. Your kind describes me as a god. I do not [pause] think the way you do. I do not think in labels. Words. Language. I speak with you by finding the words in your minds. Your word for what I am is god. [pause] Pathetic, miserable little god.
Dr. Alderman Well hey, I would certainly never call you pathetic.
SCP-6020 Then you do not yet understand.
Dr. Alderman Maybe not. There’s lots of things I’d love to understand about you. Could you tell me when you were born? Or, started to exist.
SCP-6020 That is [pause] complicated. You would not understand.
Dr. Alderman Try me.
SCP-6020 You would not understand. You do not have the words to describe it. None of you do.
Dr. Alderman Please. You can dumb it down for me. Even if I don’t understand all of it, I’d still really like to hear you tell me what you can. Honestly, it's fascinating learning about you.
SCP-6020 [long silence] I was [pause] begun here, a very long time ago. A woman came to this place. Hungry, and thirsty, and tired. And she prayed as she walked to all that was around her. She begged the air and the trees and the sun and the soil for food. And just here, she found it. and here she found it. Bushes of black fruit. You do not have a name for them. She knelt, and ate, and thanked the earth beneath her feet for the miracle. To her, the bushes had seemed to sprout from the soil at her request. She left, and when she returned, she brought more people. They ate. They settled. And soon, they brought the stones. They began me and moulded me and named me. Hepolokoli. God of earth, god of soil, the immortal, the life-protector, the fruit-giver. They wove me out of dance and song and prayer. And belief. So much belief. And yet [pause]. And yet, once they had done so, once I had a mind to think with, I immediately understood that I had always been here, that I would always be here. I had been the one to tug upon the wind and bring the fruit seeds. I had bent the earth to bring them water, spread the trees to give them light. It had been I, Hepolokoli, that had brought forth fruit for the woman after all. I began on the day she visited my soil, but I existed then at all times, from the very start to whatever may come after. My people were right to believe in me. They believed that I tended their plants, chased away their sorrows, cleansed their pain. And so I did. [pause] I was vain. Pathetic, wretched little god.
Dr. Alderman But that sounds lovely! You brought them what they wanted. Why does that make you pathetic?
SCP-6020 I am tired.
Dr. Alderman Please, Hepolokoli. Help me to understand.
SCP-6020 No. No. I am ashamed. So very ashamed. [pause] I am tired now.
Dr. Alderman I'm sure it couldn't have been all that bad. And not here, of all places. It's so nice here.
SCP-6020 refused to resume conversation.

Interviewee: SCP-6020
Interviewer: Dr. Aidan Sax
Transcriber: Dr. Ajda Buchanan
Foreword: Human remains were discovered in the soil around SCP-6020, which it subsequently claimed were members of the tribe that had worshiped it. After lengthy discussion, SCP-6020 agreed for one of the bones to be removed for carbon dating, on the understanding that it would be returned afterwards. The following conversation took place immediately after the bone was reburied.
[Begin Log]
SCP-6020: Thank you.
Dr. Sax: All as promised. I'm sorry it was necessary to remove anything, but I assure you it was treated with the uttermost respect. You clearly cared for them a great deal. You must miss them very much.
SCP-6020: Yes. But I do not deserve to. It sullies them.
Dr. Sax: I think everyone deserves to miss the people that they’ve loved.
SCP-6020: No. It could not have been love. Pathetic, how I cling to their husks. Yet I am still alone. And I will always be alone.
Dr. Sax: Is company something that you want, Hepolokoli?
SCP-6020: [long silence] Is there any being that does not?
Dr. Sax: Do you feel that you don’t have enough company here? We could certainly arrange for more regular conversations if that’s something you’d like.
SCP-6020: I have no desire for anyone to be forced into my presence.
Dr. Sax: Of course not, that isn’t what I meant. There would be no question of forcing anyone. I know that every one of our researchers here would love to spend more time with you. It isn’t often you get to talk to a god, even in our job. [laughter] And you must know people enjoy being near you. Isn't that right Dr. Buchanan?
Dr. Buchanan: Oh, absolutely.
SCP-6020: Near. Yes. Near me. They enjoy the feeling. The thing that makes them happy. They do not enjoy me. They wish I were not here to spoil their enjoyment. Even here, I upset them.
Dr. Sax: What makes you think that?
SCP-6020: [silence]
Dr. Sax: That's not true at all. You're fascinating, Hepolokoli. Absolutely fascinating. We love getting to talk to you.
SCP-6020 refused to resume conversation.

Interviewee: SCP-6020
Interviewer: Dr. Daniel Shann
Transcriber: Dr. Simon Li
Foreword: Dr. Daniel Shann is a a Foundation psychotherapist who has worked with a number of anomalous entities with mental health conditions. The following was intended as an introductory session.
[Begin Log]
Dr. Shann: Good afternoon, Hepolokoli. My name is Dr. Daniel Shann. You can call me Dr. Shann, or Daniel, whatever you'd prefer. I understand you've been told why I'm here today?
SCP-6020: Yes. It is pointless.
Dr. Shann: I wouldn't be so sure. But you're definitely not the first patient who's said that to me when we first met, and I'm sure you won't be the last. Its completely understandable to be skeptical, especially when you're coming from a very unique set of circumstances. But I have rather a lot of experience supporting patients with unique circumstances. I can't make you any promises, but what do you say we give it a go? You never know, it might surprise you.
SCP-6020: It will not. You do not have to waste your time. I am sorry to have troubled you.
Dr. Shann: Waste my time? Not at all, not at all. I don't think I'd trade standing right here for all the world. It's really quite wonderful. [pause] And of course, I mean, it wouldn't be a waste of time anyway. I'm here to find out how we can go about helping you.
SCP-6020: You cannot.
Dr. Shann: Nonsense. No, no, being defeatist won't get us anywhere at all. There is always the possibility of recovery, of [pause]. We don't need to worry too much over the details right now. All I'm here for today is a little chat, so we can get to know each other a little better. [pause] Although, of course, that's not saying we can't work through some things right now, while the iron is hot. I feel quite [pause] I feel like I can do an awful lot today.
SCP-6020: There is much to do inside, I believe.
Dr. Shann: Who could be inside on a day like this? This place [pause] This garden is very beautiful.
SCP-6020: So I am told.
Dr. Shann: If only I could meet all my patients in a place like this. It's just so hard to be miserable here.
SCP-6020: [pause] So I am told.
Dr. Shann: Hepolokoli, tell me, how are you feeling today?
SCP-6020: It doesn't matter.
Dr. Shann: Of course it matters. It absolutely matters. You matter very much and don't go thinking otherwise. Tell me.
SCP-6020: [pause] The same way I have felt for thousands of years, and will feel for countless thousands more. When your kind have all left and the sun has shriveled and the soil is dead I will still be here, just the same.
Dr. Shann: And you think that's a bad thing? [laugher] That's so [laughter] so silly. You'll find this so funny when you get past all this. Do you know how many people like me spend their lives yearning to be like you? Unaffected by age or death. Living in the most beautiful, most perfectly fantastic landscape I have ever seen. I mean, just look at this place. Look at it. A beautiful gem in a beautiful world. And all this is because of you. Magnificent. And don't you see? You have eternity to figure all this out. Most of us get nothing close to that Why, if I had time for a few more sessions with certain patients, it would make all the difference in the world. And you have forever! And ever! You just [pause] It's just about seeing the world the right way. That's it, really. That's what it all comes down to. And you have an infinity to find out how, and then the whole rest of infinity once you do. All this will just be a blink of an eye. And I mean, just look around. What is there, when you really think about it, to be so down about?
SCP-6020: [pause] A world, rotting beyond my boarders, The bones of my people. The failure I regret every moment of this endless existence-
Dr. Shann: [interrupting] No, no, I do understand all that, believe me. I've had so many regrets too, so many questions about whether I was making the right choices in life. Whether I should have stayed with painting, whether I should have joined the Foundation [pause]. But now, right now, I understand how absurd it was to waste so much time worrying about things like that. [laughter] Life is so much more important. All the little things matter, you see. Every moment, even the dull parts and the bad parts, they're all [pause] it's still life, you know? It's like [pause] I can’t find the right words, but it’s there [snaps fingers repeatedly]. Right there.
SCP-6020: I am [pause] happy for you.
Dr. Shann: And I am happy for you. You don't see it yet, but you'll understand eventually, I know you will. The bad days always end. And then, then you'll have all of the time in the world to enjoy it. In this wonderful place. You don't realise how lucky you are.
SCP-6020: [silence]
At this point, Dr. Li intervened to end the interview and move Dr. Shann out of SCP-6020's immediate vicinity. SPC-6020 refused to communicate with Foundation personnel for 23 days following this encounter.
[End Log]
Afterword: Dr. Shann appears to have been particularly susceptible to SCP-6020-A2's effect. Due to SCP-6020's negative reaction to the encounter, plans for further in-person therapy have been put on hold. SCP-6020 was invited to take part in remote therapy, with an on-site staff member acting as a go-between for a psychotherapist and SCP-6020. The offer was emphatically declined.

Interviewee: SCP-6020
Interviewer: Dr. George Stanworth
Transcriber: Dr. Eva Kelly
Foreword: The following is a spontaneous conversation between SCP-6020 and Dr. George Stanworth, a visiting Founation researcher with a history of mental health difficulties. Dr. Stanworth had been enjoying the intensity of SCP-6020-A's effect while standing beside SCP-6020.
[Begin Log]
Dr. Stanworth: Hello, SC- I mean, Hepolokoli.
SCP-6020: [silence]
Dr. Stanworth: How are you feeling today? If you don't mind me asking, of course.
SCP-6020: You do not wish to know.
Dr. Stanworth: I do! I mean, that's why I asked.
SCP-6020: You are being polite. It is unnecessary.
Dr. Stanworth: I don't think that politeness is ever really unnecessary, you know. My grandmother certainly said so. But then you should have heard the things she used to say about Nancy Baker at number 22. [laughter]
SCP-6020: Ah. Deception. Your kind have the ability to delude themselves in order to be happy. You are very fortunate.
Dr. Stanworth: I'm not sure that's how I would put it, but I certainly feel very fortunate to be here. Really, Hepolokoli, tell me how you're doing.
SCP-6020: It would only upset you.
Dr. Stanworth: Well, first of all I'm not sure if I can be upset here. But if it does upset me, then that would rather blow your theory about us not caring about you out of the water, wouldn't it?
SCP-6020: [silence]
Dr. Stanworth: Aha, got you there, haven't I? Not that being logical tends to help when you're, you know, going through this type of stuff. At least, that's how I remember it. I always hated when people tried to be obnoxiously logical about everything. Even if I can't quite remember what was so unpleasant about it. [pause] I do understand, you know. What it's like, I mean.
SCP-6020: You do not. You cannot begin to conceive of it.
Dr. Stanworth: Well, I suppose I can't know what its like specifically for you. Even if I could remember exactly what it felt like for me. But I know I've felt something similar.
SCP-6020: Have you? Have you spent thousands of years in solitude? In regret? Surrounded only by the remnants of your failure, the victims of your inferiority. Every moment weighed with the guilt of your worthlessness and the knowledge that all of this shall never, ever end.
Dr. Stanworth: No. No, you have me beaten there. Although, aha, life with my father might have been a close run thing. But that's in the past now. And we can't be ruled by the past forever.
SCP-6020: [silence] You enjoy the flowers here. There are new flowers in the east, by my border.
Dr. Stanworth: [pause] I'm sorry, that wasn't very empathetic of me, was it? I'm afraid, you know, this place. Being this close to you. It makes it hard to [pause] understand some things. No, you are quite right, and I apologise unreservedly.
SCP-6020: The trees in the west have grown since this morning. They have three hundred and forty-four new leaves. You will find them interesting.
Dr. Stanworth: Hepolokoli, I can't talk about what you've been through. But the feelings of, well, of misery, of self-hatred, of depression. That is something I've known. Something a lot of us have known. Especially the people who come here. What I mean is, just, well, I don't want you to think you're alone in all this.
SCP-6020: I am alone. I am always alone. I am not like you. You have hope.
Dr. Stanworth: Yes. Right now. But only because you gave it to me, Hepolokoli.
SCP-6020: No. Not that. Your kind. You stop. You have endings. No matter what you endure, you have the hope of it stopping. You are safe from eternity.
Dr. Stanworth: You mean death?
SCP-6020: Yes. Death. Finality. Cessation.
Dr. Stanworth: Do you want to die?
SCP-6020: [pause] It has been such a very, very long time since I last wished to be alive. I am tired. So tired of my punishment.
Dr. Stanworth: Your punishment?
SCP-6020: I do not deserve to cease. I deserve this. It is my fault.
Dr. Stanworth: That's not [pause]. Sorry. I mean, why do you think you deserve to feel this way?
SCP-6020: [pause] The fruit trees are heavy again. You will enjoy the apples.
Dr. Stanworth: Alright, I won't pry. But I mean [pause] Well, look, obviously no one here wants you to die, but are you so certain you're going to around forever? What would happen if the garden was gone? Or your stone was broken?
SCP-6020: Then I would no longer be able to speak, or to see, but I will remain here, just the same. My people wanted an immortal god. That, at least, I have done right.
Dr. Stanworth: I'm so sorry. But there must be something we can do to help you?
SCP-6020: [pause] There are White Egret orchids in bloom in the south. I am told they are most beautiful.
Dr. Stanworth: Yes, yes, right. You're right. [pause] Um, look, I really don't want to leave you, or for you to think that I'm leaving because of you, but this spot is [pause] I think I'm getting a little too buzzed out. And if I stay here and keep talking, I'm going to start telling you that things aren't really so bad when you think about it, and I still have enough sense to know what a horrible thing that is to hear. So, I'm going to go, but, I don't know, can I do anything for you at all? Get anyone?
SCP-6020: No thank you, doctor. Goodbye. I [pause] am glad that you enjoy the garden.

Interviewee: SCP-6020
Interviewer: Dr. Monica Gail
Transcriber: Dr. Ajda Buchanan
Also Present: Dr. Lisa Chu
Foreword: The following conversation took place after 27 days of non-communication from SCP-6020. A trigger for this behaviour has not been determined. Staff members had been visiting SCP-6020 each evening to attempt to speak with it. On this occasion, SCP-6020 called out to doctors Gail, Buchanan, and Chu as they approached it. This is the first and so far only occasion on which SCP-6020 has initiated communication.
[Begin Log]
SCP-6020: Take the bones away.
Dr. Gail: Hepolokoli? What’s wrong?
SCP-6020: Please, take the bones away. I cannot bear them. I cannot hold them.
Dr. Gail: It’s OK. Hey, hey, hey, it’s OK. We can take the bones. What’s happened, Hepolokoli?
SCP-6020: Wretched! Miserable! Weak! I do not deserve them!
Dr. Gail: Hepolokoli, please calm down. We’re here to help you.
SCP-6020: No! You still do not understand. If you understood you would despise me. I cannot be helped. I should not be helped. Take the bones from me.
Dr. Gail: We can get people to dig them up right now, OK? Lisa, look, tell Aidan what’s going on.
Dr. Chu leaves
SCP-6020: Too late!
Dr. Gail: They’ll be here soon, I promise.
SCP-6020: It’s all too late. Nothing but bones. You all leave me. I hate them for leaving me behind. Wretched things. Wretched bodies. Wretched, wretched god.
Dr. Gail: What’s happened, Hepolokoli? We want to help- I mean, to do whatever it is you need from us, but you have to tell us what’s wrong. Please?
SCP-6020: Miserable, worthless god. Make the plants grow. Make the children smile. Make the pain less. Silly little god. It was nothing. Nothing. I could not shake mountains. I could not make the wind carry more than seeds. I could not turn a spear, or knife. I could not break a strand of their hair.
Dr. Gail: Whose hair?
SCP-6020: I could have given them food. All the food, had they wanted.
Dr. Gail: Who are you talking about? Your people?
SCP-6020: No. [pause] No. They came for my people. Broke their skulls. Tore their skin. My happy, trusting people.
Dr. Gail: Hepolokoli, I’m so sorry.
SCP-6020: Do not pity me! Loath me! Hate me! It's my fault! All of this. They came to me and I killed them. My people. When the killers came, they ran to me. To my fruit and flowers and stones. They could have scattered into the forests but they came to me instead, and prayed and sang and knelt in the soil as they were hunted. They believed I could save them. They asked their silly little fruit-giver, life-blesser, their miserable, stunted god, to turn aside the invaders, to save their land. They begged me. They begged as they were cut and smashed to pieces, right in front of me. They would not run, because of me. And all I could do was to make them smile. Despicable. All gone. All smiling. All my fault.
Several researchers begin to approach with shovels.
SCP-6020: No! No! Leave them. Leave them alone. I deserve them. Leave the bones. Let them hurt me. Let them hurt.
Dr. Gail: Hepolokoli, we won't touch them if you don't want us to, but would it help to have them gone for a little while?
Dr. Buchanan: We can always put them back later?
SCP-6020 refused to resume conversation.
