Item #: 5681
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5681 is to be permanently contained at Site-54, within an anechoic, Keter grade containment chamber, the interior of which should be lined with no less than seven (7) layers of heavyweight concrete, each twelve (12) inches in thickness. The outermost layer should be covered in soundproof fibreglass capable of absorbing approximately -20.85 dBA. Four CCTV cameras are positioned within the chamber to monitor 5681’s behaviour, and can be accessed via Site-54’s observation room.
The chamber should be suspended on sixty-six (66) vibration damping springs, and mounted on an additional concrete slab in order to keep the room protected from external vibrations.
Two armed security personnel are to be positioned outside the containment chamber at all times.
Secondary containment consists of the deployment of a rectangular, electromagnetic perimeter fence, with an approximate area of three square kilometres (3 km^2). No human agents are to be deployed during secondary containment procedures due to risk of memetic contamination.
Viewing of SCP-5681 is strictly authorized to those with Level 3 security clearance or higher. Any unauthorized breach of security or foundational measures will be met with immediate action, including termination.
As of 21/1/2020, only one instance of SCP-5681 has been confirmed by the foundation.
Object Description: SCP-5681 is a bipedal male cervid of current unknown biological origin, approximately 7.2 feet, or 2.2 metres in height. Traces of human DNA (Homo Sapiens) have been detected within samples of 5681’s saliva, making up roughly 5.48 percent of the entity’s genotype. The entity heavily resembles a common white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and has two collagen-based protrusions growing from either side of it’s head, each measuring an approximate twelve (12) inches from the widest tips.
SCP-5681 typically moves on its hind legs, appearing to adopt the gait of a human male, albeit with extreme effort. The entity seems to be inexperienced when it comes to bipedal locomotion, continuously straining to keep it’s head at an approximate angle in which it’s centre of gravity is in equilibrium. Cases of SCP-5681 moving in a quadrupedal manner have been documented on incredibly rare occasions, the motives for which are, as of yet, unknown.
The ocular regions of 5681’s head seem to be lacking any form of pupil, with the conjunctiva seeming to fill the entirety of the eye.
Current observation indicates that 5681 has no biological/metabolic need to consume any substances of nutritional value, however, it will violently attack and ingest any human patient it comes in contact with, notably targeting the frontal lobe of the brain.
Approximately 2.5 hours after initial consumption, 5681 will begin to produce slurred, unintelligible groans resembling human speech. After (3) hours, 5681 will say sentences, words and phrases with the vocal patterns of it’s last victim.
Current research indicates that SCP-5681 can only replicate words and speech patterns that have been previously said by the victim, and cannot grammatically formulate on its own accord.
The reason for this mimicking behavior is currently unknown. It’s been documented that any human subject within a 23.56 meter radius of 5681 will begin to hallucinate aural and visual stimuli, and begin to move towards SCP-5681’s location. This has been confirmed to be due to the fact that 5681 can influence its targets using specific vocal patterns.
If said subject is to make physical contact with SCP-5681, they will begin to levitate approximately twelve (12) feet, or one hundred and forty-four (144) inches above the ground, where they will remain suspended indefinitely. During this time, it is believed that subjects become unconscious, with roughly ninety-five percent (95%) of all motor functions ceasing.
The physical and scientific means of this ability are currently beyond foundational knowledge, with various Level 4 members proposing theories on the matter.
It is important to note that these proposed theories have not been in any way confirmed by the foundation, and should not be taken as fact.
Four (4) known subjects have been recovered from this state, each with varying levels of cognitive and physical alterations. A common link between each patient is the total lack of ocular pigmentation, resembling that of SCP-5681’s own eyes, and resulting in permanent blindness for the affected individual.
Patient 001, a member of MTF-Epsilon Blue (Nightjackal) who has been officially titled SCP-5681-1, recalls various unexplainable occurrences during this time, from reliving past traumatic events to floating in a vast, empty void. The patient also states that they could hear perpetual screaming while being unconscious, and was forced to, quote: “Watch the earth burn”.
One of the three patients recalls being conscious during this time, with the other three unable to remember any details regarding the period in which they were under 5681’s control.
Patient Status Update:
As of 4/2/2020, three of the four patients have fallen into a comatose state, and are under elevated foundation overwatch. SCP-5681-1 has begun to show enhanced signatures of mental stress, receding into the corners of their quarantine chamber and crying. Recent CCTV observation showcases SCP-5681-1 clawing at their eyes and writing on the walls of their containment chamber with fecal matter, in what appears to be an extinct dialect of old Algonquin.
While most of the paragraphs were unintelligible, foundation researcher Dr. Park Sueng was able to translate the latter half of the message with moderate accuracy:
“…infinity soaked in the blood of a thousand dead worlds, vistas of atrocity and damnation.
For you see, there is no God, no heaven, no holy place. You live out your…existence with the facade that love and…will be there to…you on the other side.
But…are blind, for the only afterlife is one of pain, suffering and pure hatred.
Listen, do you hear it? The screams of millions of souls just like your own…the Great Ascension. We are awakening, in…farthest corners of your universe.
On black planets of ash and charcoal, in rivers of blood and tears, on mountains of bones and deserts of teeth, our slumber hinders.
Hear us sing, for we are free.”
All four patients are currently in memetic quarantine at Site-465.
