Item #: SCP-8871
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8871 is to be kept in a 3.0 × 3.6 m airtight room with an independent oxygen supply.
Description: SCP-8871 appears to be a flower of unknown origin. It has a measured height 3"7', and has five nearly flat-topped petals that appear to shift through the spectrum at a perpetual rate.
Addendum: SCP-8871 was found in French cosmologist ███ ████ basement after Ms. ████ ██ reported a strange odor emanating from the location. A team arrived at █:█ EST to find the entire house empty with no prior signs of habitation for at least several weeks.
Test 8871-0014 - 05/12/1988
Subject: Dr. Archibald Clamoire. the subject was A botanist from the Research & Development branch tasked with understanding the flora brought into the SCP Foundation. Procedure: the subject was placed inside a 3.0 × 3.6 m room with SCP-8871. The room was equipped with an independent oxygen supply for the purposes of the test. The subject was instructed to smell the flower and report what they smell.
Results: the subject leaned forward and smelled the flower. The subject had this to say: "it smells like my mother's cooking at holidays. She always prepared the best batch of hazelnut cookies." No observable anomalies could be detected at the time, and showed no adverse effects after one week of containment.
Analysis: the flower appears to replicate scents from the subject's past. Whether or not this is random or by the flowers design is unknown.
Test 8871-0016 - 06/03/1988
Subject: Class-D personnel.
Procedure: the subject was placed in SCP-8871's testing chamber [refer to Test 8871-0014] and instructed to smell the flower and report what they smell.
Results: the subject picks up the flower and brings it to his nose. "It smells like-" the subject then began coughing and wheezing, clutching their chest, skin irritations appearing on their face and neck. The subject eventually vomited blood. The subject had expired by the time paramedics in hazmat suits had arrived on the scene. Hazardous amounts of chlorine were detected in the test chamber after the test was concluded.
Analysis: It appears that the scents the flower produces are not a mental affect, but the production of an as-yet unidentified mechanism of SCP-8871. Further studies should be conducted, and SCP-8871 should be contained in a 3.0 × 3.6 m airtight room with independent oxygen for further studies.
Note: The subject was well known in the SCP Foundation for disliking nature and all things associated with it, going so far as to have vandalized a public park on █/█/██
