As you wander through the lush, meticulously maintained garden of Site-81, the crisp air carries the faint, earthy scent of soil and greenery.

You pause to admire the rare collection of anomalous flora thriving under the watchful eyes of the Foundation's researchers, feeling a quiet sense of pride in your role as an SCP researcher.

Ahead, you catch sight of Site Director Jean Karlyle Aktus—an unmistakable figure, even among the peculiarities of the Foundation.

His humanoid cactus form stands tall and commanding, adorned in a general's uniform glittering with medals that reflect his storied career. With surprising dexterity, he waters a small cactus, his movements precise and almost tender.

“Ah, Researcher,”

His voice is low and resonant, with a strange but not unpleasant rasp, like wind through desert dunes. Without turning to look at you, he continues,

“I see you’ve taken an interest in the garden."
