An instance of SCP-XXXX-2 spontaneously provided by SCP-XXXX-1 which includes hair, teeth, and miscellaneous tissue
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 is to be held within a standard human containment chamber within Bio-Research Area-76. Supervisors are permitted to socialize with SCP-XXXX-1 for up to 2 hours daily in its containment chamber using the proper protective equipment via intercom. No female personnel may come into contact with SCP-XXXX-1 at any time.
In the event that SCP-XXXX-1 requests to secrete a specific instance of SCP-XXXX-2 for personnel, it may do so under the jurisdiction of a Class B or higher personnel. Under no circumstance may SCP-XXXX-1 be permitted to voluntarily secrete any instance of SCP-XXXX-2 in the presence of any personnel, with the exception of during testing. Male Class D personnel must be available at all times to dispose of spontaneously secreted instances of SCP-XXXX-2 deemed unfit for testing, and are not permitted to talk to SCP-XXXX-1 while doing so. SCP-XXXX-1 cannot be permitted to ingest any instance of SCP-XXXX-2; all instances must be documented, tested if necessary, and ultimately disposed of by means of sulfuric acid.
Sealed oxygen masks are required of any personnel coming into contact with SCP-XXXX-1 or any instance of SCP-XXXX-2. Any objects which have come into contact with SCP-XXXX-1 or any instance of SCP-XXXX-2 are to be sterilized. Perform decontamination of any personnel exiting the containment chamber of SCP-XXXX-1.
In the event of accidental olfactory exposure of SCP-XXXX-1 or any instance of SCP-XXXX-2, Class C personnel and above will be restrained and treated by means of intravenous introduction of a fluid instance of SCP-XXXX-2 into the bloodstream. Subsequent removal of all meat and animal byproducts from their diet and psychological treatment is sufficient.
Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a middle-aged male humanoid who appears to be of Germanic descent, although DNA tests are inconclusive. It is afflicted with 5 anomalous immature teratomas; these cystic masses—unlike commonly observed teratomas, which are subcutaneous—are at least partially exposed with the exception of teratoma XXXX-B.
It cites these anomalous growths as being "painful[;] raw, like losing a tooth." Despite thorough testing of the affected tissue, SCP-XXXX-1's teratomas bear no cellular difference to samples taken from varying parts of its body. Despite 100% of biopsies taken showing abnormalities consistent with cancer, no new cancerous growths have formed. Rather, SCP-XXXX-1 only experiences abnormal cell growth during the healing process, where it experiences anomalous regrowth without formation of scar tissue. No adverse effects of cancer have been noted; SCP-XXXX-1 has never shown sign of sickness of any type. No chemotherapy or other known treatments have any effect on its tissue. Numerous attempts to surgically remove its teratomas have been met with complete failure; the sites of removal experience anomalous growth and return to their previous state within an average of 10 hours. When removed, the growths are designated instances of SCP-XXXX-2.
Its teratomas are described as follows:
Location: Left inguinal region
Description: A mass of hair and teeth 7.1 inches in diameter embedded deeply in SCP-XXXX-1's flesh, creating a divot with a depth of over 3 inches which hinders lateral flexion greatly. Investigative surgery has confirmed the teratoma grows outward from the spine, and SCP-XXXX-1's internal organs are anomalously shaped to make room.
Location: Cervical and thoracic spine; C5 - T6
Description: A subcutaneous cystic mass of muscle and cartilage causing spinal compression and kyphosis. Distinct cartilage growths with a makeup similar to that of fingernails break the skin above vertebrae C6, C7, T1, T2, and T3. SCP-XXXX-1 has expressed physical discomfort with wearing anything that covers this teratoma, so it is permitted to forgo a shirt.
Location: Epigastric region
Description: An omental teratoma made up of smooth, dense tissue roughly the shape and size of an ostrich egg. Down its center and in line with the sternum, SCP-XXXX-1's skin parts vertically for 5.2 inches; the naturally occurring incision is, at its widest, 3 inches. This exposes much of the cyst.
Location: Testicular region
Description: Sizeable testicular tumors comprised of choriocarcinoma, embryonal carcinoma, and the formation of a yolk sac on the left teste. The size of the teratomas and lack of skin cause SCP-XXXX-1 extreme physical discomfort, so an exception is made to allow it to wear a skirt made of hospital gown fabric.
Location: Coccyx
Description: A human fetus in its second trimester, which is genetically identical to SCP-XXXX-1. According to SCP-XXXX-1, it has had no change in growth since their birth. It has the appearance of an exposed fetus in fetu. It is capable of sustaining itself although it lacks an amniotic sac; an external umbilical cord hanging freely conjoins the fetus to SCP-XXXX-1 at their umbilici via the right side of SCP-XXXX-1's body. Nutrients have not been proven to be passed through the cord from SCP-XXXX-1. Although SCP-XXXX-1 claims to provide said nutrients to the fetus by means of teratoma XXXX-D, X-ray scans and investigative surgery have been inconclusive. SCP-XXXX-1 has noted that it does not view teratoma XXXX-E as an individual, and treats it as an extension of itself.
SCP-XXXX-1 exudes flesh, tissues, bone, blood, and other bodily substances, both involuntarily at seemingly random intervals and at will. It is capable of forming any human substance at the site of any teratoma. The secretions then detach from the teratomas at the will of SCP-XXXX-1. Regardless of type, any secretions separated from SCP-XXXX-1—whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or surgically— are designated as instances of SCP-XXXX-2. Both voluntary and involuntary secretions share identical DNA with SCP-XXXX-1, but lose its regenerative properties once detached. Whether SCP-XXXX-1 is capable of creating self-sustaining, fully functional organisms has yet to be tested. Due to its unpredictable nature when presented with the topic of parenthood, testing has been postponed indefinitely.
Involuntary, spontaneously created instances of SCP-XXXX-2 range in complexity. A spontaneous secretion can either be homogeneous or an aberrant amalgamation of two or more different substances, tissues, organs, and bone, collagen, and hair. Spontaneous secretion causes SCP-XXXX-1 little discomfort; however, methodical secretion is painful to it and requires focus and time directly related to level of specificity and quantity/amount.
SCP-XXXX-1 is cooperative and participates most willingly with Dr. ██████ in tests done to measure its capacity to create instances of SCP-XXXX-2. Notable instances of SCP-XXXX-2 created intentionally in a testing environment include:
- 134.2 liters of amniotic fluid, which SCP-XXXX-1 continued to secrete at a slow, constant rate for 9.2 hours until it became unconscious from exertion.
- A fully functional human heart weighing 157.5 kilograms and measuring 1.05 meters, which, when still attached to SCP-XXXX-1, pumped blood at a rate of 70 beats per minute for a net volume of 21.25 liters of blood pumped in one minute. SCP-XXXX-1 was able to increase the heart rate of the organ to over 300 beats per minute, using the severed aorta as a 'hose' to fill a 2,000 liter container in just over 2 minutes.
- The skeleton of a macaw in its entirety, despite SCP-XXXX-1's insistance that it had never seen the bird before nor studied its anatomy. Samples of bone showed the DNA of the skeleton was not only identical to that of SCP-XXXX-1, but human as well. Bone density matched that of an average macaw and not of typical human bone.
- By SCP-XXXX-1's request, a small, posable, hollow sculpture in the image of a pregnant woman, made entirely of cartilage and hair. The abdominal region of the doll could be removed, revealing a small cartilage fetus. The hair was a different shade of blonde than that of SCP-XXXX-1—an anomaly, since a DNA test on the root of a strand of the doll's hair came back as a match to that of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 felt uncomfortable handling the unclothed doll and, of his own accord, created a dress made of skin more rich in melanin than that of SCP-XXXX-1; similarly to the hair, the skin showed no cellular difference to that of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 is allowed to keep the doll during good behavior.
- A small, dense sac of [DATA EXPUNGED] which, unlike any other instance of SCP-XXXX-2, exhibited unusual durability and rapid cell replication, proving difficult to dispose of without the assistance of SCP-XXXX-1.
Subjects report SCP-XXXX-1 and all instances of SCP-XXXX-2 as smelling chiefly of human body odor but with a faint aroma of overripe fruit. This scent has an anomalous effect on any carnivorous or omnivorous mammal that smells it, including humans. This effect has been dubbed "Primal Hunger" by Dr. ██████ based on her first-hand experience. It is characterized by several aspects:
- The hypothalamus of any subject will be hyperactivated by the olfactory exposure to SCP-XXXX-1 or an instance of SCP-XXXX-2, causing the subject to experience extreme hunger even when full. All other needs or wants are superseded by this hunger. General mannerisms and personality, sleep patterns, levels of arousal, and manner of feeding are altered. Testing is underway to better understand the role of signals sent by the stomach; subjects report "want[ing] something inside."
- Regardless of how well fed they are by other means, those affected will attempt to consume any animal or human bodily substance, living or dead. Subjects will continue to eat even when physically unable to ingest more tissue.
- If raw meat is inaccessible, subjects will attempt to satiate their hunger by engaging in autocannibalism.
- "Primal Hunger" can only be reversed by the consumption of any instance of SCP-XXXX-2, after which subjects report feeling nauseated but overall normal.
SCP-XXXX-1 does not exhibit "Primal Hunger."
Once the consumption of any instance of SCP-XXXX-2 has cured the hyperactive hypothalamus, a second affliction besets subjects. In the case of Dr. ██████, who was exposed to the scent of SCP-XXXX-1 during its containment on ██/██/████ and subsequently cured of her "Primal Hunger," this adverse effect lasts for at least █ years. There is no known cure for this side effect, which must run its course. It is described below:
- Subjects exposed to the scent of dead animal or human tissue, including cooked meat and animal byproducts, cite a desire to consume it.
- The unwelcome reminder of their altered personality and behavior from "Primal Hunger" causes embarrassment, disgust, and other emotional distress, but a vegan diet is enough to render fit for work personnel who have been exposed to SCP-XXXX-1 or SCP-XXXX-2 and subsequently cured up to three times only once. They are provided with psychological treatment.
- For an average of a week and 5 days after the hyperactivity of the hypothalamus is treated using an instance of SCP-XXXX-2, a test subject will be immune to the effects of smelling either SCP-XXXX-1 or any of its secretions.
Addendum 1:
Date: ██/██/████
Supervising Personnel: Dr. ██████
Subject: D-94653
Procedure: The subject was exposed to an instance of SCP-XXXX-2, allowed to ingest it to relieve his state of hunger, and then monitored. Subject was given a diet of raw meat and dietary supplements; after 4 days, his diet was replaced with a vegan one. A control subject was subjected to the same procedure. After 12 days, when the period of immunity expired, subject D-94653 was then exposed to an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 again and allowed to ingest it. Both subjects were monitored to test for varying levels of lingering side effects of exposure to instances of SCP-XXXX-2A. After 4 days, meat was removed from both subjects' diet. This procedure was repeated: D-94653 was exposed to an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 every 14 days after the period of immunity expired, for a total of 5 cycles.
Results: During the first cycle, in which both subjects underwent the same procedure, both reported feeling guilty about the feelings associated eating meat, which included a desire to behave similarly to when their hypothalamuses were affected. Both were relieved when meat was removed from their diet. During the second cycle, subject D-94653 had a slight difference in his reaction to meat; he was reported to eat more ravenously, with a disregard for the guilt he had mentioned earlier in the experiment. The control subject behaved the same as he had done in the first cycle, and would continue to do so for the remainder of the experiment. During the third cycle, D-94653 obsessively searched his containment chamber repeatedly for meat when it was removed from his diet. During the fourth cycle, D-94653 became dependent on raw meat to function normally. When deprived of meat, the subject became hostile and demanded he be fed. He refused to eat anything other than supplements and animal byproducts, which were allowed into his diet in the form of boiled eggs; however, he turned to minor autocannibalism of the hands and feet. During the fifth cycle, the subject behaved ravenously during feeding time and would frequently bite his own tongue and cheeks by mistake while eating. When meat was removed from his meal, he autocannibalized his forearms badly enough to need emergency medical attention. He died from complications of his injuries.
Analysis: Multiple exposures to instances of SCP-XXXX-2 increase their symptoms' potency.
Date: ██/██/████
Supervising Personnel: Dr. ███
Subject: D-94739
Procedure: A human heart secreted voluntarily by SCP-XXXX-1 was surgically transplanted into the subject to test for any adverse effects.
Results: Subject experienced no adverse symptoms associated with olfactory exposure to SCP-XXXX-1 or any of its secretions. As predicted by Dr. ███, the subject tested positive for cancer by day 5. The cancer had permeated both lungs and reached the epidermis by day 8. By day 10, it had reached her stomach; several golf ball sized teratomas of the omentum were observed. The subject was now too weak to walk. By day 20, at least 30 observable teratomas were counted, most forming in the subject's ovarian system. Her epidermis had started to blacken and her torso was distended. Cysts in her lungs eventually so large that her ribs were broken from the inside, which splintered and caused internal bleeding. By day 20 she had died as a result of these injuries. She had gained 542 pounds in cancerous cell growth.
Analysis: Instances of SCP-XXXX-2 created with the intent to be used in organ transplants are of no use. It is theorized that SCP-XXXX-2 itself has to personally prevent the rejection of the addition by the host, perhaps by the usage of [DATA EXPUNGED].
Addendum 2:
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Dr. ██████
<Begin Log>
Dr. ██████: SCP-XXXX-1. I'm going to ask you a few things about yourself, all right? How would you describe your affliction?
SCP-XXXX-1: Please, don't call me SC-whatsit.
Dr. ██████: It's merely a formality.
Dr. ██████: I've heard you want to show me what you're capable of. There's something you do that nobody else does. Can you tell me about it?
SCP-XXXX-1: What's with the face mask?
Dr. ██████: Just a safety precaution to prevent any unwanted anomalous effects. Now, please, answer my question.
SCP-XXXX-1: Hehe! No, I get it. You just don't wanna get hungry. Because that's what I do - I make people hungry. So I make 'em meat.
Dr. ██████: How do you produce the meat?
SCP-XXXX-1: I, uh… I just…
Dr. ██████: Take your time.
SCP-XXXX-1: I don't know. I just do it.
Dr. ██████: All right. Next question. Do your teratomas cause you discomfort?
SCP-XXXX-1: My lumps? Yea, a little. It feels raw, like losing a tooth. Sometimes I do lose teeth—look here, this one down by my tummy. It has teeth. Do you know why? I dunno why I have them.
Dr. ██████: No, we're not certain why so many severe teratomas are present. Other people develop them when they're sick, but according to the medical examination we performed when you first arrived, there's nothing wrong with you. Perhaps you could provide more insight into what causes you pain. When did you first start exhibiting anomalous signs?
SCP-XXXX-1: I don't know what some of those words means [sic].
Dr. ██████: When did you first make meat?
SCP-XXXX-1: My momma and daddy tell me I was making them hungry from the day I was born. So I made meat to feed them.
Dr. ██████: Who were your parents?
SCP-XXXX-1: My momma's name is Charlie and my daddy's name is ███. They didn't like me very much 'cause I made them hungry, and I love them, but… I didn't like them. They wanted so much meat. They stayed hungry and started to ███ ██… it hurt. So I run away.
Dr. ██████: Tell me where you ran away to.
SCP-XXXX-1: I live in the woods, in ███████. I [sic] live there ever since I run away. There's a river by my favorite spot to sleep. Animals come to say hi sometimes! Some of them get hungry, but that's okay, they like my meat. When can I go home?
Dr. ██████: The Foundation will take care of you here.
SCP-XXXX-1: Oh.
Dr. ██████: Did you mean to make the wildlife hungry?
SCP-XXXX-1: No, it just happens that way, silly! I don't try to make any of my friends hungry… I don't like it when they eat each other.
Dr. ██████: Rest assured, no one is hungry because of you right now. But, what about you… Do you make yourself feel that way?
SCP-XXXX-1: No, I never get as hungry as my parents or my animal friends because I always have meat to eat.
Dr. ██████: You ingest your own secretions?
SCP-XXXX-1: I don't really like it, but there wasn't much to eat in the forest.
Dr. ██████: I see.
SCP-XXXX-1: It's okay! I don't think it's bad! You [sic] get hungry the first time I met you. You really liked the meat I made you. Want some more?
Dr. ██████: That— that's… a line of questioning for another day.
SCP-XXXX-1: I can tell you want it. Would you eat me if you didn't have that face mask?
Dr. ██████: Let's change the subject.
SCP-XXXX-1: If you wanted a bite of me instead of my meat—
Dr. ██████: Stop.
SCP-XXXX-1: I'd let you.
Dr. ██████: Enough. This session is over. I need a bit of fresh air.
SCP-XXXX-1: See you later, Miss Doctor. Don't eat anyone if you get hungry!
<End Log.>
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Dr. ██████
<Begin Log>
Dr. ██████: I'd like to talk to you about your secretions. You created some interesting things for us last week.
SCP-XXXX-1: Did you like them?
Dr. ██████: Yes, they were very insightful.
SCP-XXXX-1: What's your favorite?
Dr. ██████: That's not relevant. What I'd like to ask you is—
SCP-XXXX-1: No! I wanna know! Please tell me. Did you like the lungs? Or the [DATA EXPUNGED]? Or the wings?
Dr. ██████: You've been very helpful and all of your contributions are appreciated by the Foundation. I can't personally speak to a favorite secretion of yours.
SCP-XXXX-1: You're no fun. There's nothing you want me to make you? Anything you wanna have at all, I can make.
Dr. ██████: Anything I want to have? What do you mean by that?
SCP-XXXX-1: Are you a momma, Miss Doctor?
Dr. ██████: I don't see the relevance of this.
SCP-XXXX-1: I am . I'm a good momma. You and I could be mommas together.
<At this point in the interview, Dr. ██████ became distressed and began pacing the length of the room.>
Dr. ██████: I don't think this line of conversation should be—
SCP-XXXX-1: Do you wanna make a baby with me?
Dr. ██████: What?! Absolutely not. Dr. ██, open the door. Open the door. Let me out—
SCP-XXXX-1: Wait! Don't go! I'll make one for you!
<Communications stop here due to Dr. ██████ being wholly surrounded by an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 in the form of [DATA EXPUNGED] before she could exit the containment chamber. By the time emergency procedures had freed her from the organ, her clothes and mask had been melted, and she suffered from severe acid burns to almost 90% of her body. She was unconscious. By the time she was revived, a medical examination had confirmed a pregnancy in its second trimester. The areas closest to her uterus were exhibiting signs of abnormal healing; as of then, Dr. ██████ was designated SCP-XXXX-3 and placed in a separate containment chamber. Within 10 hours, all burns had regenerated completely. Besides regenerative properties, no other anomalies have been noted. The fetus has exhibited no signs of development over the course of █ months.>
