This is the Westbrook family tree, covering three generations across Florence's maternal and paternal lines. It's a quick-reference map of who's who. Several branches on the paternal side remain redacted or expunged pending clearance review, reflecting the current state of the Foundation's background check on file.

• Joseph H. ████Paternal grandfather. Record redacted.
• Rosa Ferreira MartinezMaternal grandmother.
• [DATA EXPUNGED]Paternal uncle. Record expunged.
• [REDACTED]Paternal aunt. Record redacted.
• ██████ F. WestbrookFlorence's father. Record redacted; further detail pending review.
• Luna MartinezFlorence's mother. Portuguese-born; no anomalous history on file.
• SCP-[???]Paternal cousin. Subject of an active SCP designation.
• Timothy WestbrookFlorence's younger brother.
• Florence WestbrookSite-65 Ethics Assistant. Subject of this file.

Florence's father was largely absent throughout her upbringing, present in name more than in person. What she remembers of him amounts to a handful of details, by her own account: a tall man, taller than average, with dark hair and dark green eyes. He left when she was young, and contact afterward was rare to the point of nonexistence. The one clear exception is recorded in the addendum below.

Luna Martinez was the parent who actually raised Florence: present, involved, and fiercely protective of her daughter's secret. Relatively short, with brown hair and green eyes, Luna made it her quiet, constant work to keep Florence's nature hidden from the world. Not out of shame. She simply never wanted anyone to think differently of her daughter, or see her as anything other than her own. The night that secret first became impossible to hide is recorded in the addendum below.

Timothy is Florence's younger brother, a little shorter than her, with dark brown hair and green-blue eyes. Where Florence tends toward quiet caution, Timothy is the more outwardly social of the two: funny and easygoing once he's comfortable around someone, though understandably guarded outside that circle. The two are close, in the particular way siblings who've had to keep the same secret tend to be. That closeness was tested the day Timothy's own anomaly surfaced, recorded in the addendum below.

Florence Westbrook's childhood took place almost entirely indoors. Her mother, Luna, worked tiring nursing shifts and came home every night to a house built around a single, unbroken rule: the antlers are not to be revealed, and no one outside the house was to know they existed. For the first eight years of her life, this wasn't experienced as a burden so much as a fact of the world, the way other children accept that the stove is hot or that the streets end at the corner. It was only later that Florence understood how much of her mother's exhaustion was not from her work, but from the secrecy Luna had built and maintained alone.

When homeschooling replaced the classroom, it replaced very little else. Florence had never had the version of childhood that included other children, noise, or the ordinary friction of being seen. What she had instead was her mother's attention, undivided and quietly anxious, and long unstructured hours to fill. She filled them by becoming useful: sorting out her mother's paperwork, tracking prescriptions and shift schedules, learning to anticipate what needed doing before she was asked. It was less an education in the traditional sense than an apprenticeship in vigilance, and it left her with a kind of watchfulness that never fully switched off, even once there was nothing left to hide from.

The remote secretarial work she took on at eighteen wasn't a career choice so much as the natural extension of a decade spent managing someone else's logistics from a room she wasn't allowed to leave. She was good at it in the ordinary way people are good at things they've been doing since before they had a choice in the matter: competent, invisible, and quietly resentful of neither.

What the staff at Site-65 tend to miss about Florence is that her patience with the overlooked and the contained isn't a personality she developed, but rather a frame of reference she's ever had for a life.

Florence's first job was ordinary in a way little else about her childhood had been: administrative assistant at a private medical practice in Seattle, close enough to keep living near her mother, still inside the only geography she'd ever known. It was the first time her competence was visible to anyone outside the house: filing, scheduling, the kind of detail-tracking she'd been doing for Luna since she was a child, now simply redirected toward strangers who had no idea what she was.

At twenty, she relocated to Vancouver for remote secretarial work under a cover arrangement, trading proximity to her mother for distance and anonymity. The work itself barely differed from what she'd done in Seattle. What changed was the isolation: no more shared house, no more shift schedules to track in person, just a screen and a workload that asked nothing of her except accuracy. She was good at it for the same reason she'd been good at everything before it: she'd spent her whole life managing things quietly, and no one had ever needed to know she existed to do it well.

The Ethics Committee application at twenty-two wasn't a departure from that pattern so much as its logical endpoint: an institution that also ran on discretion, paperwork, and people who did their jobs without drawing attention. Florence gave the Committee an administrator's file: competent, unremarkable, clean. It was the mandatory blood screening the following year, not anything she disclosed, that told the Foundation what her application never could.

Her transfer to Site-65 followed almost immediately. What the Committee inherited wasn't just a capable assistant with an anomalous condition. It was someone whose entire professional history had been built on going unnoticed, now placed somewhere she couldn't be.

Physical evaluation returned within normal parameters and was assessed as good. No irregularities noted beyond what's already on file.

One accommodation note is on file: subject has shown sensitivity to very bright lights and to loud or high-volume environments. This has only been observed in passing, not formally diagnosed, and does not currently warrant duty restriction.

Psychological evaluation found subject sound of mind, with a stable and even disposition. No concerns were raised by the reviewing counselor, and no follow-up was recommended.

This memo confirms acceptance of the transfer request filed on behalf of Ethics Committee Assistant Florence L. Westbrook. Per the justification points outlined in our prior correspondence, Site-64 administration concurs that reassignment to Site-65 best serves both the subject and continued operations. Effective upon receipt of this authorization, Site-64 releases the subject to Ethics Committee Branch, Site-65.

• Subject's anomalous traits warrant a level of oversight and resourcing better suited to Site-65's current staffing.
• Concerns have been raised regarding inequitable treatment of the subject within her current posting; reassignment removes her from that environment.
• Subject has been consistently overworked under Site-64's present staffing conditions. Site-65 offers a healthier working environment in which her skill set can be put to better use.

Destination confirmed: Site-65. Subject to report upon receipt of this authorization.
