Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard Humanoid Containment Cell at Site 23 and provided with food and water as needed. Light furnishings are to be provided, and recreational media may be given to SCP-XXXX by request upon approval from L3 command or higher. SCP-XXXX has demonstrated an amiable and cooperative nature towards researchers and Foundation personnel, and has such been granted limited access to canteens, recreational centers, and other common areas.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an assortment of anomalously animated rock, sand, and clay. It takes the form of a human female of Eastern European descent, aged mid to late forties, and has shown no signs of aging during the ██ years it has been contained under Foundation control. Despite its abnormal physiology, SCP-XXXX's locomotion remains limited to the scope expected by a human being.

Foundation cognitive awareness tests have demonstrated that SCP-XXXX possesses sapience comparable with a human being, Within its mouth, SCP-XXXX possesses a piece of paper (SCP-XXXX-1), inscribed upon it, the Hebrew word "לִחיוֹת" (roughly translated as "be alive"). When this paper is removed, SCP-XXXX loses all signs of life and falls apart at an accelerated rate until the paper is replaced, at which point vital signs return and cognitive abilities resume with no apparent break in consciousness.

If damaged, SCP-XXXX will repair itself by incorporating nearby stone and stone-related materials into its form. Materials lost through decomposition are non-anomalous and can be treated as such. SCP-XXXX can agglomerate material past its base form, but demonstrates diminished control over these materials in proportion to their volume.

Addendum: Due to SCP-XXXX’s method of repair, raw lithic materials are to be provided as the need arises, and a small amount, not exceeding a volume of more than 0.5m³, is to be stored inside inside SCP-XXXX's containment cell. In case of depletion, material shall be restocked as soon as is possible in order to mitigate risk of death of the SCP.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Perithous

Preface: This interview takes place █ months after SCP-XXXX was initially detained. Until this point, no contact was attempted with SCP-XXXX was attempted due to measures to determine preliminary data took priority. This is the first known Foundation interview with SCP-XXXX.

<Begin Log, [04:18:19██]>

Dr. Perithous: SCP-XXXX, I am with the Foundation, and we would like to ask you some questions.

SCP-XXXX: Anastasia. My name is Anastasia.

At this moment SCP-XXXX becomes visibly annoyed, its facial features changing into what can only be described as a scowl. Dr. Perithous looks to the the viewing window for further instruction, and is met with only a small nod by the present supervisor.

Perithous: Very well. Anastasia. What is your nature?

SCP-XXXX: Explain.

Perithous: Who are you? Where are you from? Why do you exist? We do not wish to harm you, we only seek to understand you.

SCP-XXXX: I see no reason why you dogs who so viciously locked me in your dungeons should learn anything of me.

//SCP-XXXX rises and attempts to attack Dr. Perithous. SCP-XXXX is restrained
