SCP-3xxx
Object Class: Euclid
Containment: SCP-3xxx is to stored at Site 81 in a guarded, air-tight security vault, insulated from all forms of electrical discharge due to the risk of unintended activation. Access is to be on the discretion of the Site Director, and all samples must be logged and accounted for following any testing or examination.
Description: SCP-3xxx is an aluminium flight case, with plastic reinforced edges and corners, measuring 460mm by 350mm by 160mm, with a black plastic handle and no discernible manufacturer's markings. Inside are three layers of dark grey protective foam block - a sheet fitted and glued into the lid of the case, approximately 40mm thick; a similar layer at the bottom, and a thicker, removeable section between, with sections cut out through its full thickness to accommodate three objects measuring 70mm by 70mm 260mm, and ten recesses, each 10mm deep, cut to contain objects no larger than 20mm by 20mm by 10mm.
Two of the larger recesses contain cylindrical volumes of a curious, vaguely metallic clay-like substance, vacuum-packed and sealed in three layers of tough, static-proof clear plastic film (SCP-3xxx-A, SCP-3xxx-B). Seven of the ten smaller compartments each contain a single white plastic disk, diameter 18mm, 8mm thick, with a 4mm by 4mm by 4mm cavity at the centre (SCP-3xxx-C-1 to 3xxx-C-7); each contains a 3mm by 3mm by 3mm sample of the clay-like material. An eighth disk (SCP-3xxx-C-8) was originally recovered, but the material was discoloured, being black and oily in appearance, and this sample was destroyed as advised in the accompanying documentation (SCP-3xxx-D).
Several sheets of a paper-like plastic material, sealed together along one long edge, are included in this package, each page printed on one side only with details of the case's contents and how to handle them. These instructions are written in English, with grammatical and spelling errors suggesting a crude attempt to translate to English from an unknown foreign language - the contents of this document are reproduced in Document SCP-3xxx-D/Content (appended to this report).
Saluations and greetings, noble customier. In this packege, you shall find shipments of VANTIUM ARCTILE COMPLEX - VAX - being in sample form (ten in numbering) and deployable volume form (three in numbering). Please feel free to test sample in a suitable testing enviroment, but please to follow directions as given here.
ADVISORY: Contain VAX in original packeges until use or test. Contain in water-free environment to avoid chemical tainting. Contain at ambient temperatre, no great than 18 of Celcius for extended time.
GRAVE ADVISORY! Avoid giving VAX to any form of electrical discharge before testing or deployment! Contact with electrical can activate VAX before intentional. Each of samples will effect area of space in three-dimensions of sphere 4.80 metres, and ALL matter contained so.
GRAVE ADVISORY! Should any volume of VAX be chemically tainted, becoming altered in colour or apperence, dispose of this volume by high-intensity heat AT IMMEDIATE. Volume is UNSTABLE, and can contamnate!
THE SUPPLIER cannot accept any responsibility for misuse or accidental. VAX is supplied as end-user responsibility only. Apply correct safety measures for incident free deployment!
Discovery: SCP-3xxx was recovered from a left-luggage locker at the bus station in ████ ██ ███████, ████████████, USA on 23rd October 2013, following a report made to field operatives by a confidential informant, identified only as "The Spectator"
Testing: Three of the sample disks - SCP-3xxx-C-1, SCP-3xxx-C-4 and SCP-3xxx-C-6 - have subsequently been removed from SCP-3xxx and subjected to testing. See attached Testing Reports:-
SCP-3xxx-C-1 was accidentally activated prematurely, resulting in damage to Testing
Chamber Blue-4 and injury, eventual terminal, to Laboratory Technician ██████.
██████ suffered gross tissue and bone damage to his right arm, shoulder, and part of
the right side of his face, the tissue being transformed into a clear, uniform crystal
material closely resembling diamond. This material was surgically removed, but the
patient died of accelerated septicaemia thirty-two hours later (material retained as
SCP-3xxx-E-1, SCP-3xxx-E-2; stored in Holding Area A-N-44).
The laboratory area affected by the activation of the VAX sample was transformed
down to the atomic level; walls, floors and other structures of metal and reinforced
concrete changing instantly into other forms of matter. The spherical volume,
approximately 4.5 to 5 metres in diameter, was initially filled with a dark brown gas,
similar to bromine, which quickly rose to the ceiling of the testing chamber and
circulated around the ceiling for several minutes in a highly agitated state, emitting
high-pitched sounds described as "like birds of prey screeching, almost sounding like
they were trying to shout like people". This gas eventually ceased all but occasional
slight movement, whilst the sounds reduced to a barely discernible murmur.
Once the laboratory was declared secure, a recovery team transferred this gas to a
sealed, pressurised container, and this container - SCP-3xxx-F - was taken to Holding
Area A-N-45 for storage. Samples have since undergone testing, but no chemical
analysis has been successful to this time. Personnel likely to be in close proximity to
the container for any length of time are instructed to report any psychological
aberrations to their Supervisor immediately - on ██/██/20██ Technician ███████
spent over an hour in Holding Area A-N-45 investigating a suspected water leak, and
subsequently spent several weeks in Medical recovering from an attempt to scrape off
his own face with the clipboard he had been issued.
When questioned during his recovery, ███████ reported "hearing my mother, telling me
over and over again that I was ugly, and I should do something about it if I ever wanted
anyone to love me". The parent in question died on January 18th, 1998.
Also appearing within the affected volume of the laboratory was a section of what has
been determined to be some kind of coral or fungal growth, resembling a tree limb. This
fell immediately to the floor, breaking into four pieces, and over a period of several
seconds petrified, then crumbled into a fine grey, ash-like material. This residue was
collected by Technicians, placed in a suitable sealed container (SCP-3xxx-G), and
transferred to Holding Area A-N-46. No reports have been submitted concerning any
adverse psychological reactions to this sample whilst in storage, and chemical analysis
has revealed the material to be some form of non-anomalous calcium-rich organic
material, similar to coral or bone.
REPORT ENDS
Following the SCP-3xxx-C-1 incident, SCP-3xxx-C-4 was tested under more rigorous
conditions, a suitable containment vessel being constructed before the test was
carried out. With the sample placed and held securely inside the containment vessel,
a brief electrical discharge was applied, and the sphere immediately filled with altered
matter. This material was primarily a semi-fluid, semi-transparent dark green material,
with lengths of tangled metallic fibre running through it, and occasional bubbles of
what was later determined to be a mixture of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and hydrogen
sulphide (H2S).
Residing within this volume were several motile colonies of unknown insect-like
lifeforms, twelve to thirty in number, and each no more than 12mm in length, each
individual emitting a continual yellow-green glow. These colonies, originally eight in
number, were seen to burrow through the gelatinous medium, seeking out the bubbles
and metallic filaments, which they appeared to consume over a period of several
minutes for the bubbles, and several days for the filaments. Tunnels and other
vacated spaces fill with the gelatinuous material if left undisturbed for several
minutes, and consumed bubbles disappear in a similar manner, only for others to
appear shortly after. Consumed filaments were observed to "grow back" over several
days, during which time the creatures avoided contact. "Seeds" appear to be left
when the metal fibres are consumed, allowing these "plants" to regrow, but the gas
pockets replacing those consumed appear to have no known source.
Whenever two colonies of these creatures encountered each other, they are
observed to combine into a single colony, then either remain as one group, or divide
into two to four smaller groups and go their separate ways. No more than fourteen
colonies have been recorded at any one time, and no fewer than seven - it appears
that the contents of the testing vessel have become a self-sustaining environment,
now designated SCP-3xxx-H, which remains in Testing Chamber Blue-6 and undergoes
regular observation by assigned personnel. No adverse reactions to extended close
proximity to SCP-3xxx-H have been reported.
LOG ENDS
SCP-3xxx-C-6 was subjected to the same testing procedure as SCP-3xxx-C-4, with
a suitable containment facility established in Testing Area Green-3. On exposure to
the same electrical current as SCP-3xxx-C-4, this vessel was filled with what has
been determined to be the flesh, blood, eyes, neural and other tissues of an
unidentified organism, not matching anything known on Earth, or recorded under any
other SCP designation. Whilst this sample represents only a portion of a much larger
whole, the contents of the test vessel - SCP-3xxx-I - remain alive, active, and
apparently sentient.
Whenever attempts are made to observe the entity, through the viewing port built
into the module, the creature will extend several threadlike tentacles towards the
view port, and draw a number of symbols on the glass using its own bodily fluids.
These symbols have been determined to be Cuneiform, one of the earliest forms of
human writing, developed by the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia c. 3500-3000
BCE, and most commonly used to document transactions of materials and farm
produce. Linguistic analysts quickly discovered that the symbols used were a direct
number-to-letter code, translating into modern English. The following messages
have been delivered by SCP-3xxx-I:
"I can see you."
"You will pay dearly for this."
"An eternity of suffering awaits you. Why delay the inevitable any longer."
"I told them before and I will tell you the same now. You cannot destroy me."
"The Children are coming. Better to die now than be alive when they arrive."
"Ever wonder why Brett Favre came out of retirement so quickly. I know. Ask me.
I dare you."
"At the third stroke it will be precisely ten minutes to the end of your world. Feel
free to panic. I could do with a laugh right now."
"Black is the new black is the new black."
"When the child of two lands leaves the stage it will all be over. You will thank me."
"Ha ha ha just jking lolz."
"Your neighbour just ran over your cat. The screams were delicious."
Observers have not reported any adverse effects from exposure to this entity,
apart from intermittent itching, which appears to have no discernible cause, and
subsides within a few hours, and an intense thirst that is immediately quenched
by any volume or type of liquid imbibed.
LOG ENDS
The samples in question were completely consumed by the experimental process, and this information has been logged with Disposal Oversight.
Further Investigation: No further tests are scheduled. Based on the results received, any attempt to make use of the larger volumes of VAX would transform a spherical volume with a diameter of approximately 70m, and the result cannot be predicted.
In Conclusion: The documentation enclosed indicates that this case originally contained three large volumes of this potentially highly dangerous material. To this date, no trace of a third "deployable" volume of VAX has been discovered.
Attempts to make further contact with "The Spectator", with a view to investigating this matter further, have been unsuccessful.
