Athena and Durham were heading towards a locker room, to do some testing with a Safe-Class SCP. Durham got her clipboard, while Athena was carrying a small box of polaroid film.
"You did ask for extra film for a polaroid camera, correct?" Durham asked her assistant.
"Yeah, I got one box right here..." Athena answered. "What SCP are we going to use it on today?"
"Well, it's a Safe-Class SCP, and I think it'll give us an interesting report." Durham answered. "It's a polaroid camera with interesting properties."
"Oh, I never knew about that." Athena responded.
"You will soon enough." Durham smiled.
The two researchers had made their way to the locker room, where the SCP is currently kept. Durham opened it with her keycard and the door opened. The two researchers then went inside the locker room.
The lockers were all arranged in rows, instead of being embedded in the walls. Each locker and rown had a label, to indicate which locker housed the SCP.
"Athena, look for security locker H-J-12." Durham instructed her assistant. "That's where the SCP is contained."
"Okay." Athena understood.
Athena then started to look for the designated locker. She found the locker and informed the researcher. Durham went over to the locker and opened it with a key, then took the SCP out of it.
"Alright, here's the SCP." Durham said. "This is SCP-978, also known as the 'Desire Camera'."
The SCP seemed to be a standard red-and-black Polaroid Supercolor C45 CL Instant Camera. It doesn't appear to have any distinct markings or damage, neither does it possess a marking of any manufacturing company.
"So, what is the anomalous property of this SCP?" Athena asked.
"Well, it's no different than any other polaroid camera, but it's the photographs that are atypical." Durham answered. "The photographs are generated are not reflected on what the subject was doing in the moment the photo was taken, but rather it reflects on what the subject would want to be doing at that moment."
"Oh, I see." Athena understood. "Who are we going to test it on first? I want to see this for myself."
"Well, I was hoping that the two of us are going to test it first, then on to the others." Durham suggested.
"Oh, I see." Athena responded. "Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt."
"Alright, so I'll take a photo of you, and we'll see what will be the result of the photograph." Durham said. "Face me, and we'll document the photo."
"Alright."
With that, Durham put her clipboard on top of the lockers, as she handled the SCP. Athena faced her and smiled for the camera, doing only a neutral pose.
"One, two, three."
Durham took the photo, making a bright flash. The photo had been printed out of the camera, and the researcher took it. She inspected the photo and she saw what was in it.
The photo was of Athena in a classroom, wearing her old clothes, presumably studying for a lesson since she was reading a book.
"May I see the photo?" Athena asked.
"Here you go." Durham gave the photograph to her assistant. "You really seem to like to aim for the top of your class."
"Yeah, I'm a bit competitive when it comes to that..." Athena replied, as she took a glance at the photo. "It's not really healthy but... it's who I am."
