The following is a transcript recording of two agents that will remain anonymous:

Agent X: The Unicode standard committee is now considering the addition of a seahorse emoji

Agent Y: Okay.

Agent X: ...

Agent Y: What?

Agent X: Don't you see, this only furthers my argument that [redacted] has escaped containment

Agent Y: Look, [name redacted], we've been over this. No matter how many more containment verification protocols we introduce, they always come up negative. There is no possible way [redacted] has escaped containment. And now you think this seahorse emoji... ahem, excuse me, now you think SCP-314 is incontrovertible proof?

Agent X: Did you look at the proposal?

Agent Y: sigh, yes I have it right here.

Agent X: The name at the top of the submission?

Agent Y: [pause] No. This can't be. But, how did it... how would it even know to use that name?

[transcription abruptly ends]
