Item #: SCP-PL-121-J
Object class: Injoke
Special Containment Procedures: The subject is under constant observation by Daniel Asheworth. The subject resides in an adapted terrarium in Biological Site-14.
SCP-PL-121-J seeing Director Asheworth.
Description: The subject is a male turtle specimen in excellent physical condition. Biologically, it is fully functional and shows no deviation from the norm.
SCP-PL-121-J has real-time knowledge of the exact location of Daniel Asheworth, director of Site-120. The subject appears to use this knowledge and will continually travel towards Daniel Asheworth as much as physically possible logically possible regardless of the physical capabilities of an ordinary turtle and assumed rules of logic.
Daniel Asheworth, thus designated as SCP-PL-121-1-J, makes continuous attempts to escape from SCP-PL-121-J.

Destination: Foundation Hospital in Mexico
Procedure: Daniel Asheworth had to be hospitalized.
Result: Daniel Asheworth crashed after a failed attempt to return to Earth on his own. He suffered severe injuries to his upper and lower limbs and internal organs. He was taken to the surgical unit in serious condition, then to intensive care, where he stayed for 4 months. The subject was spotted by the staff of the facility while prying open the room's slightly opened door with its head. Because of the locks placed on his jaw and rush hour at the hospital, no one heard his screams.

Procedure: Daniel Asheworth returned to Site-120.
Result: SCP-PL-121-J was found gnawing on a potted plant, fortunately harmless to turtles. Daniel Asheworth was lying on the floor of his room, his [DATA EXPUNGED]. After a series of surgical procedures and the placement of a stoma bag, the Director returned to Site-120. SCP-PL-121-J does not exhibit unusual behavior.
Note: I think that this whole SCP-PL-121-J is now a regular turtle, and Director Asheworth has unnecessarily blown the situation out of proportion. How can such a sweet creature hurt anyone? If Director Asheworth had been more careful, he wouldn't have fallen off the bed and pierced his anus through the handle sticking out of the bedframe. Besides, since his encounter with the Director, the turtle seems to be a very happy boy. — Researcher Flower
