SCP-XXXX : Grandma Vier

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX, and SCP-XXXX-1 are contained in a purpose built enclosure fifty (50) meters below Humanoid Containment Site-06-3. The enclosure consists of an air tight two (2) story, three (3) bedroom home enclosed in a sealed chamber ten (10) meters in height, and fifteen (15) meters in length and width. The secondary chamber walls are a three (3) layer construction. The innermost wall is a reflective aluminum glass mirror, the middle layer is a five (5) cm thick activated carbon lining, and the outermost layer is twenty five (25) cm thick reinforced steel. The windows of the enclosure are fitted with internal facing screens that depict suburban surroundings, and external doors are magnetically locked and can only be opened with authorization from Dr. Hawkins, or a senior foundation member. Bi-Weekly remote controlled maintenance drones will be used to deliver a two week supply of food for a family of four (4), and to replace the enclosure’s internal air filters. SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 are to be continuously observed via visual surveillance by security personnel.

SCP-XXXX-1: Due to the specific requirements of containment, SCP-XXXX-1 is considered a single entity. SCP-XXXX-1 consists of a male and female human between the ages of thirty (30) and forty (40) years of age, and two (2) children of either sex between the ages of eight (8) and twelve (12) years of age. Biological relation is not required. SCP-XXXX-1 are to be collected and rehabilitated as a family unit via F-Class amnestics. The medical personnel performing the rehabilitation are to be given Class-C amnestics, and reassigned following two (2) procedures.

Response XXXX-A: In the event of a feeding the remnants of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be removed and incinerated, and a new SCP-XXXX-1 inserted within thirty (30) minutes. During this time following a feeding SCP-XXXX lies dormant, and for expedient and thorough cleaning six (6) D-Class personnel in HAZMAT suits with self contained air supplies will be used for the cleanup process. If a new SCP-XXXX-1 is not inserted within this time frame, SCP-XXXX will enter an agitated state and attempt to escape to a new hunting ground.
Response XXXX-A1:Security personnel observing SCP-XXXX are to be given a Class-B amnestic, and reassigned immediately following a feeding cycle.

Response XXXX-B: In the event of a containment breach the sixteen (16) 500W flood lights within the secondary enclosure are to be activated alongside four (4) loudspeakers which will separately play various randomly selected metal songs at 120db until SCP-XXXX returns to the main enclosure, and remote drones have confirmed the integrity of the main enclosure.

The identity and use of SCP-XXXX-1 are only to be disclosed by authority of Dr. Hawkins, or a senior foundation member to individuals with a need-to-know for research purposes.

Experimentation with SCP-XXXX requires prior permission from at least two (2) Level 3 Senior Researchers and direct contact with SCP-XXXX may only be performed with direct oversight from Site Command. Personnel entering SCP-XXXX's containment area must wear reflective reinforced biohazard suits with personal air supplies and must be quarantined for a minimum of twelve (12) hours after exiting the area. In case of aggression from SCP-XXXX or at the discretion of operational oversight, Response-B is to be activated, and all personnel are to vacate the enclosure.

Description: SCP-XXXX’s true appearance differs from what is observable, and little has been discovered in how it accomplishes this. Specimen appears as an elderly woman between sixty (60) and seventy (70) years of age, 1.7 meters in height, and while appearing to be no more that fifty (50) to sixty (60) kilograms, the entity weighs nine hundred and seven (907) kilograms. Specimen is outwardly friendly, and capable of conversing fluently in german, however avoids questions during interviews regarding its abilities and mannerisms. When questioned will deflect questions and speak to interviewers regarding it’s family (SCP-XXXX-1) displaying pride and joy in them. Extensive questioning will agitate SCP-XXXX resulting in an accelerated feeding cycle.

SCP-XXXX produces and excretes in large quantities a gaseous compound that when inhaled by humans activates receptors in the brain attributed to love, happiness, as well as affecting both short and long term memories. Within ten (10) seconds of contact afflicted individuals experience a feeling of contentedness, within thirty (30) seconds they feel a deep connection to SCP-XXXX, and within one hundred and twenty (120) seconds they believe her to be either their mother or grandmother depending on the age of the afflicted. Research has shown that each instance of SCP-XXXX-1 has perceived SCP-XXXX differently, as did each individual who observed the specimen before video surveillance was halted.

SCP-XXXX is a carnivorous entity, using SCP-XXXX-1 as a food source. No correspondence has been made between the weight of SXP-XXXX-1 and the timing of feeding cycles. Feeding cycles vary widely, with the shortest being two (2) weeks, and the longest spanning seven (7) years. On average SCP-XXXX-1 cycles are approximately one (1) year. The only concrete variable that has been found to determine SCP-XXXX’s feeding cycles are its current level of agitation, with greater stress leading to more frequent feeding. Current information supports the theory that SCP-XXXX is an avian creature similar in function to an owl, given it’s nocturnal tendencies and that the remnants of SCP-XXXX-1 are regurgitated in bundles of skin and bone similar to an owl pellet. While this may explain it’s sensitivity to sudden bright lights and sounds, it does not explain the creature’s confusion by reflective materials, and its effects on human sensory organs.

Acquisition Log XXXX-1: SCP-XXXX was acquired in the █████ region of Germany on 01/01/19██. Following the disappearances of [REDACTED] families of four (4) within a six (6) month time frame. SCP-XXXX reacted violently resulting in ██ casualties of MTF-██. SCP-XXXX escaped initial capture attempts, but was found accidentally while sleeping by Agent █████ while working on an unrelated project. SCP-XXXX breached containment on █ separate occasions before current containment procedures were developed resulting in a total casualty count of [REDACTED].

Addendum XXXX-3A Adjustment of Special Containment Procedures: Following the events of SCP-XXXX CB-B1, visual surveillance of the enclosure is no longer authorized. Floors of the enclosure are to be fitted with pressure sensors to be monitored continuously by security personnel for any changes in standard movement and weight of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1.

Addendum XXXX-3B Adjustment of Special Containment Response XXXX-A: As security personnel are no longer aware of the nature of SCP-XXXX-1, reassignment and amnestic treatment are no longer necessary.

Addendum : Memo to SCP-XXXX. Research Staff
Following 4 feeding cycles within [REDACTED] all interviews and direct studies are to be halted until further notice.
-Dr. A. Hawkins

Addendum: Memo to Site 06-03 Site Director
Subject: Termination Request of SCP-XXXX
Despite the possible trove of scientific knowledge relating to camouflage, sensory and memory alteration available from studying SCP-XXXX, the gruesome containment requirements leave all involved with a sense of dread. Several researchers and security personnel have committed, or attempted suicide after long term assignment to SCP-XXXX due to the emotional and mental stress caused by its feeding cycles. As such I am formally requesting the termination of SCP-XXXX.
-Dr. A. Hawkins
