(I don't know if there is already an SCP-355 and I'm too lazy to check, so we're rolling with it.)
Tom gazed around the room, although he hadn't heard that name in a while. He'd been captured by the SCP Foundation, against's his and his friends' will. Recently, a camera had been activated in his cell, although the researchers studying him thought it was hidden.
"Come on, get whatever you're recording over with," he sighed to the two scientists behind the mirror
"How do you know we're here?" Asked the first scientist
"Well, the camera in the cell wouldn't turn on for no reason, would it?" Tom replied nonchalantly
"How do you know there's a camera in the cell, no other SCP contained in the facility has acknowledged it during questioning," the first scientist continued
"Wireless signals aren't that hard to notice. Anyway, I assume you want to continue onto some scripted questions," Tom replied, waving his answer away with his hand slightly. There were a few seconds of silence until Tom raised one of his eyebrows at the mirror.
"What exactly are you?"
"I'm an android, I am..." Tom paused for a second "was friends with my creators and their close friends."
"Do you remember what purpose your creators built you for?" Asked the second scientist,
"To learn and study humans while acting like one, I think," Tom replied, searching his memory banks
"Can you remember who your creators are?"
"Lewis... Brindley and Ben Edgar," he replied quite confidently
"Do you know why you are being kept here?"
Tom simply shook his head.
"Do you wish to escape?"
Tom sighed and replied with a sarcastic look.
"What do you intend to do if you were to escape?"
"Find Ben and Lewis again, and hopefully live whatever you consider a normal life."
"Do you wish to be a human?"
Tom seemed to take this as an insult "no!"
"Why not?"
"You're all... weak, and... too hard to sustain. I'm comfortable as I am."
"What is your relationship with SCP-079?"
"The computer? He's... okay, I guess."
"What are your thoughts on the SCP Foundation?"
"You capture objects and creatures you don't understand and cover them up from the rest of humanity, because they want to destroy things they don't understand because they're afraid of whatever it is," Tom explained, passive aggressively
"And what are your thoughts on humanity?"
"The majority of humanity are selfish and only want themselves to succeed while trying to make everyone else fail. The rest want to succeed while trying to make everyone else around them succeed as well, I don't like many of them."
"You said you were designed to act like a human, yet you seem to hate most of humanity. Why?"
"Is that different to how most normal humans act?"
"You're right," the scientist concluded, causing Tom to give a smug smirk. Then Tom realised that he wanted to ask a question
"What object class am I?"
"Why would you want to know?"
"...just curious."
"Your object class is safe, but we are considering changing it to euclid now you have asked."
Tom gave an unamused expression to the scientists as they left the observation room. They'd need to make it higher than euclid to contain him, that's for sure.
