SCP-XXXX: DEUS REX MACHINA

VERSION 1

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Until such a time that SCP-XXXX can be physically contained, foundation AIC's are to monitor global surveillance networks, social media, law enforcement networks, and other online spaces for evidence of SCP-XXXX manifestations. Individuals witnessing these events are to be amnesticised, with evidence of the event to be destroyed after documentation. Any persons spreading information regarding SCP-XXXX are to be discredited.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a singular theropodal dinosaur of the species Tyrannosaurus rex measuring 12.7 metres long, 4 metres tall and weighing an estimated 9 tons.

SCP-XXXX irregularly manifests in unobserved locations globally in response to isolated individuals coming into contact with between one and four attackers with no witnesses present. SCP-XXXX will violently attack the aggressors, frequently consuming them or trampling them underfoot before making a "Winking" gesture toward the former target of the assailant(s) and fleeing the area, de-manifesting when out of sight. While the presence of recording equipment such as security cameras does not deter the appearance of SCP-XXXX, it has never been observed to de-manifest in sight of any recording equipment.

Repeated observation of SCP-XXXX has determined that it is the same specimen, featuring consistent markings, colouration and scarring between manifestations. 83% of observed manifestations have involved SCP-XXXX appearing in response to humans under attack from other humans, 9% of manifestations have been triggered by animals under threat from humans, and 3% being animals under threat from other animals.

Interviews with persons to witness the anomaly have reported confusion with the events, along with the belief that SCP-XXXX saved them.

Addendum: SCP-XXXX's manifestation conditions were confirmed to apply to anomalous individuals at Containment Area 25b, when it violently terminated SCP-076-2, while it was in the process of breaching containment. SCP-076-2 was observed to react dismissively towards SCP-XXXX, stating that an "Overgrown lizard" Would not be able to harm it. SCP-XXXX proceeded to punt SCP-076-2 across the room before crushing and dismembering it within its jaws, with SCP-076-2 managing to slash at its face before being terminated. SCP-XXXX then winked at Agent Daniel Hardcastle before de-manifesting around a corner from Agent Hardcastle's eye line, in an area obscured from surveillance cameras vision.

Following this event, SCP-XXXX was observed to have deep scarring over its left eye as a result of its injury. When questioned about the attack, SCP-076-2 only responded with expletives.

Addendum 2: In an attempt to contain SCP-XXXX, multiple Foundation vehicles were dispatched to maintain constant visual contact with the entity as it fled the scene of a manifestation event. As visual contact was maintained, field containment was established as the entity was immobilized. Containment teams were in the process of preparing SCP-XXXX for transit to Site-40 when they were engaged by a second instance of SCP-XXXX, manifesting within a nearby cave. Contact was lost as the secondary instance inflicted heavy losses upon the containment teams, with survivor Cpl. Alan Malcolm noting that the instances winked at each other before fleeing the scene, de-manifesting once out of visual range.

Containment efforts are ongoing.
