SCP-6000 - A "Breathtaking" Dandelion

SCP-6000 in Area-6000-A0

Item #: SCP-6000

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: [SCP-6OOO must be kept in a small flower pot filled with class-2 dirt, an integration system leads into the pot for automatic watering¹ to avoid physical watering. SCP-6000 is to remain in a sealed off 4”by 4” steel box with a lamp attachment with set day and night intervals following eastern standard time. SCP-6OOO is to be held in place by 2 metal clamps attached one in the middle of the stem to keep it straight the other is a clear dish that will catch poppies that have fallen of SCP-6000 for easy removal.

Any Poppies that have fallen off of SCP-6OOO are to be contained in and placed within a lab freezer for future testing, research or termination wise. Absolutely no physical contact with SCP-6OOO is to be made, unless testing purposes with use of D-class personnel, other Personnel who have inhaled spores produced by SCP-6000 are to be taken for treatment or prepared for cold storage to be used in future testing depending on contact.

During testing, transporting, or poppy removal, personnel handling the poppy will be required to wear class III hazmat suits. Any botanical organisms in the presence of SCP-6OOO including personnel who had eaten plant based foods within the past 48 hours is strictly prohibited along , following prior containment and recent containment breach of SCP-████-██²

involving D-class:92987 and an apple he ate prior to testing.]

Temporary containment Procedures :[A temporary perimeter around Area-6000-A0 has been established for research regarding origins of SCP-6000 and the mutated 6000-B anomalies; as well the possibility of other Class-A:B anomalies. Class-A:B anomalies are to immediately be removed from Area-6000-A0 and taken to site-██ for study.

Class-B anomalies are to be neutralized and transported for examination and identification. Other individuals who have entered the surrounding area outside area-6000 are to be immediately turned around from the area, security is to give a story of an investigation relating to a murder is being carried out and they don’t want others intervening with the investigation.

Individuals who refuse to are to be detained and treated with class-B amnesties, same goes for individuals found in the perimeter of area-6000 after questioning and an examination in case of SCP-6000 related mutations; individuals who are positive for SCP-6000 spores are to be immediately treated and or terminated depending on exposure and duration; if individual is deceased, relatives of the individual are to be contacted told they have died in a car accident.

Description: [SCP-6OOO consists of a group of anomalies that have gone through mutations related to the initial SCP-6000. SCP-6000 is a species of fungus identical in appearance to that of an average dandelion in the reproduction stage of development. Upon further examination, SCP-6OOO contains an unknown chemical substance that has shown unpredictable behavior when inhaled, ingested, and or had direct skin contact in by other organisms. The chemical is released from the seeds that have separated from SCP-6000; via naturally falling off or physical removal by hand or blowing the poppies off, causing spores from the poppies to release into the air.

Spores inhaled will proceed to fill the subject from the point of exposure , down the rest of their body. The spores will begin a 3 hour growth stage where they will become new instances of SCP-6000, after 2 hours since inhalation subject will be dead due to asphyxiation; 87% of the body will be filled with new instances of SCP-6000.

Alternate development stages of SCP-6000 when exposed to botanical organisms or a combination of the two have caused numerous anomalies designated. The following are all known anomalies mutated by SCP-6000 found in Area-6000-A0, designated SCP-6000-A1:A4, relating to plants that have been mutated by SCP-6000, and SCP-6000-B1:B7, relating to humans being mutated by plants that have been mutated by SCP-6000

Class-A Mutations:[SCP-6000-A anomalies are species of plant and fungi that have been mutated into a diverse hybrid ecosystem supporting both plant and breathing life. Animals that were present have showed signs of increased metabolism and motor function, proving not only can mutations of SCP-6000 sustain life, but cause improvements within the body through its mutations. However most of the animals founded consisted of remains sinking into the soil such as bones, tissue, and organs were all found knotted up within SCP-6000-A3.³

SCP-6000-A1

Item #: SCP-6OOO-A1
Object Class: Safe

Description: SCP-6000-A1 are surrounding trees that have shown a constant pattern with their mutation, developing cyan colored bark and fungal growth from the branches have resulted in abnormal branch growth that have brought a development of motor functionality similar to a human arm; the fungus produces a sap-like compound from its cavity made up of b-vitamins similar to riboflavin that shares the color with its bark. Personnel who were exposed to SCP-6000-A1 have showed signs of increased brain function and blood cells within humans when inhaled. Overexposure however causes brain numbness and excessive bleeding from nose.

- SCP-6000-A2

Item #: SCP-6OOO-A2
Object Class: Safe

Description: SCP-6000-A2 are a species of roses that have formed predatory intelligence similar to most reptiles; it has developed slither locomotion and would stalk prey for a bit and would lunge towards them swallowing them whole; SCP-6000-A2’s diet consists of rodents, birds, and smaller instances of SCP-6000-A2. SCP-6000-A2 is unable the chase after prey, however, due to the roots from where it use to grow still being connected; removal from the roots will cause an immediate death in SCP-6000-A2 species. After further testing SCP-6000-A2 has developed a more stationary way of hunting; SCP-6000-A2 would use its plant like properties to blend as an average rose until prey comes near where it will then capture they prey. SCP-6000-A2, however, has no digestive track or organs; it is identical to a rose, the only alteration being its mouth within the bud and rows of thorns that have formed around it as teeth in a circular formation, similar to a leech.

- SCP-6000-A3

SCP-6000-A1

Item #: SCP-6OOO-A3
Object Class: Safe

Description: SCP-6000-A3 Are separated patches of grass growing through out area-6000; It has a distinct cyan coloring similar to that of SCP-6000-A1. SCP-6000-A3 gives off a static shock when touched directly; The source of SCP-6000-A3's electricity is unknown. Small mammals have been found laying dead in patches of SCP-6000-A3 due to electrocution; speculations have been made that SCP-6000-A3 gets its charge from when a dead animal corpse begins decaying and sink into the soil, the nutrients within the body is absorbed by the roots of SCP-6000-A3. However, none of these theories have been prove successfully, along with the halting of all research relating to class-A anomalies involving events regarding exploration of SCP-6000-A4

- SCP-6000-A4

SCP-6000-A1

Item #: SCP-6OOO-A4
Object Class: Euclid

Description: SCP-6000-A4 is a series of tunnels running under Area-6000-A0. The tunnels seem to be unnatural and come in a variety of sizes from a 7.2Ft corridor to a 2in snake hole. Mycelium from class-A entities above run down the corridors, small animal bones are found tangled between the Mycelium⁴, interconnecting with each other; similar to Mycelium in mushrooms suggesting a deep rooted connection between Class-A mutations. The Entrance into SCP-6000-A4 must be monitored as well as movement within SCP-6000-A4; if movement within SCP-6000-A4 occurs MTF Zeta-9 "Mole Rats" is to be deployed for immediate examination; if event reaches a high level of danger to personnel, SCP-6000-A4 is to be sealed with soil of the same composition as those in the tunnels until event is over or when the entrance clears itself from the dirt barricade.

Interviewed: [ Yurial Connors]

Interviewer: [Dr.██████]

Foreword: [The following is an interview of Operator. Yurial Connors of MTF Zeta-9 "Mole Rats" after being the sole survivor of the exploration group assigned to SCP-6000-A4 .]

Connors: [I've already told you I ain't answering any of your damn questions until I see Lake!.]

Dr.██████: [Connors please calm down, we just want you to answer a few questions.]

Connors: [You can take your questions and…]

Dr.██████: [Yurial Connors! We are doing all we can for Lake, we are all in a very frantic state as of now regarding your following event with A4 and we need to get your view of what happened down there so we can figure out if it will happen again. Do you understand. ]

Connors: [*Sigh* Understood.]

Dr.██████: [Thank you, you may begin when ready, we will cross examine your answers with documents from the scientist present during the event.]

Connors: [Started like any other mission, another hole filled unimaginable horror came down the corridors were so narrow we had to go in a single file line down the hall we were all piled up on each other, well we were going to, until the “Specialists” directed us to split up down the different paths, 3 groups of 2. Guessing they haven't seen many horror movies, don’t even think they've seen anything outside of files with "Testing” results of whatever new beast they dragged in.]

Dr.██████:[Please refrain from giving information not pertaining to SCP-6000-A4.]

Connors:[Alright. As I was saying. We splitted up into groups, 2 of 3, I ain't gonna be having one person watching my back in a deep dark hole. For the next half hour we spent walking through the same hallways, we bumped into the others from time to time.

Dr.██████:[Yes, yes but what about the bones, in the..in the roots above you guys.

Connors:[Mycelian.

Dr.██████:[Excuse me?

Connors:[Mycelian, not roots, Its like roots but for mushrooms. The Mycelian was wrapped around a bunch of small bones, they were also tangled within each other.

Dr.██████:[Yes, we have theorized that the Class-A entities converge towards the center of SCP-6000-A4. Can you tell us about the event relating to the sample extraction.

Connors:[The docs call in telling us to cut a patch of mycelian and return it to the lab, both group took a sample; the As didn't like that.

Dr.██████:[The As? Do you mean SCP-60…

Connors:[Everything thing above ground connected to the mycelian, it began to reach for us the bones were being moved between them into small hands. They started to claws at us, the other came on the radio screaming. I could here gunfire echoing through the corridor. Then as we made our way to the sound we heard something coming towards us from behind. We turned and standing in front of us was something from the stuff of nightmare. The mycelium wrapped together with the bones to form a perfect but mangled body, the bones we're in a mixed pattern, but they all fit perfectly on the form. Those fingers could impaled us simultaneously and then there's the "ears"

Dr.██████:[Ears? I'm not quite sure I understand…

Connors:[ We opened fire on that thing, Lake was caught in the crossfire while approaching it, but the bullets had no effect on it. I helped up Lake and tried to take him and the sample back to base as Sylvia covered us. The last I heard of her was her screaming.

Dr.██████:[Tell us about how you the sample was lost?

Connors:[*Laughs*

Dr.██████:[Did I say something funny?

Connors:[Oh no, just good people dying, people you work with, and you just continue as if they didn't matter

Dr.██████:[Connors, we are very sad about the loss of these men, but constantly mourning our lost then there death would be in vein, if we'd did then we'd might as well join them. Now please tell us what happened with the lost sample.

Connors:[I dropped it.

Dr.██████:[You dropped it?

Connors:[Yes

Dr.██████:[How did you drop it?

Connors:[I was carrying an injured Lieutenant while being chased through an underground maze while being chase by a creature of unimaginable horror, the sample was kind of the least of my concerns.

Dr.██████:[When the sample went missing all activity with SCP-6000-A4 ceased, I believe that there's more to it than you simply dropping it.

Connors:[It was dropped, I don't have it anymore. If you want a new sample, send one of your white coats to collect it.

Dr.██████:[Connors! Your lack of cooperation will result in suspension from future tasks and chances for time off will be reduced.

Connors:[I threw it away, Lake tried to shield me from the thing when it caught up to is. They traded blow for blows, he wrestled the damn thing to the ground too probably cracked a few mini ribs. The bag was torn off and I went for it to take it back to base.

Dr.██████:[ What happened?

Connors:[The monster put its sights on me as soon as a picked up the bag, I had an idea so I took the sample out of the bag and threw it down the corridor. The thing went running after it; when it went I ran to Lake to care him back to base, after I dug through the barricade to get back up.

Dr.██████:[I see.

Connors:[Alright I answered your questions, I did your little interview, now let me go see Lake

Dr.██████:[Just a moment Connors, I just want to…

Connors:[No, that was not the deal, you said I can see Lake after I did you interview now let me see him

Dr.██████:[Connors! Your disrespect and attitude toward pother personnel as well as your immature behavior is partially the reason events in SCP-6000-A4 occurred.

Connors:[Excuse me?

Dr.██████:[The document summited by the personnel assigned to your investigation have noted that you were yelling through the radio, and crack jokes throughout the investigation. They also claimed that you popped out around the corner to scare the second group when your paths intersected.

Connors:[We spent half and hour down there, I just made I more durable.

Dr.██████:[You also argued with superiors about splitting up and disobeyed orders of groups of 2 by talking in the rest of your to do it.

Connors:[We are stronger in number.

Dr.██████:[Then where is the rest of your group.

Connors:[You [REDACTED]

Dr.██████:[You were the one who opened fire on the entity while Lake was still in front of it.

Connors:[I, I didn't mean to…

Dr.██████:[Then you purposely threw away the sample and then refused orders to acquire a new one.

Connors:[I know. I know, but I did it to safe your lives, I know its my fault Lake is injured. Please let me see, let me apologize to him.

Dr.██████:[[To Medical bay] What is the status of Commander Laurence. [To Connors] I'm sorry to say you missed your chance, Lake is no longer with us, I'm sorry for your lose.

<[End of Log]>

Closing Statement: [Exploration deeper into SCP-6000-A4 is prohibited until further study is conducted; a mobile research tent is to be developed within SCP-6000-A4 half way from initial attack. Connors has shown more discipline after realizing his mistake during the interview that cost his team their lives, however Operative Connors is suspended from exploration mission and will maintain a security outpost on the perimeter of Area-6000-A0.

Item #: SCP-6OOO-B0

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:SCP-6OOO-B0 is to be kept in a modified human containment cell. Ventilation connecting to SCP-6OOO-B0’s chamber is to be kept at a constant temperature of -30°C to prevent vent access by inducing a sleep like state. An integration system is to run twice a week for 15 minutes. A heat lamp is to be placed at the center of the room with its own power system disconnected from the facility, in case of blackout. It is to be fed live birds every 2 weeks. Every month will be SCP-6OOO-B0 trimmed, room temperature will be dropped to -50°.

[Outdated] Description: SCP-6OOO-B0 is a male humanoid figure entangled in large vines that make up it's body. The figure holds its form by a black trench coat covering 64% of it's mass and a bowler hat. The coat has multiple tears, most at the seems, suggesting it has been heavily worn for a long time. The vines extruded from the tears, acting as small tentacles. The tendrils respond when the subject is threatened by lashing toward the inflictor causing multiple minor abrasions and bruises.
Within SCP-6000-B0 are pieces of a human skeleton wrapped together in the places the bones would be located, a singular eye is visible between its vines heavily glazed, veins an other organs are present including a heart; it is unknown how its body is capable of motor or heart function.

SCP-6OOO-B0 is capable of human speech and the knows the basics of the English language and human intelligence. SCP-6000-B0 has been usually cooperative with personnel since containment. It would occasionally become aggressive when feeling threaten or surprised; usually do to incompetence from personnel in charge of trimming SCP-6000-B0, however injuries from SCP-6000-B0 result in minor bruising. When questioned about other SCP-6000 entities it should no knowledge of them, claiming that it remembers seeing them before.

SCP-6000-B0 has made several requests to see other SCP-6000 entities despite not having no knowledge of them, along with other requests for the temperature in its room to be turned up and for more personnel to come speak to it. showing signs of curiosity.

SCP-6OOO-B0 would sit idle for days in silence, quietly humming to itself, occasionally it would begin to rock back and forth in place. Not much was learned from the interviews besides its very curious personality, however, its constant demands about seeing other personnel more frequently and SCP-6000 entities have cast suspicion on SCP-6000-B0's intentions ; All requests are to be denied unless directed to do so by Site-Director or the 05-Council until further understanding on SCP-6000-B0 is acquired.

Updated Containment/Description: Due to a recent containment breach regarding both SCP-6OOO-B0 and SCP-6OOO. SCP-6OOO-B0 is to be moved to a heavy contaminant cell with similar containment conditions except decreasing temperature to -82°C
SCP-6OOO-B0 possesses remarkably high intelligence; it shows an acute awareness of its surroundings and the surroundings of other SCP-6OOO anomalies as well as nearby Site personnel and Site procedures. It seems to have an intuitive link with other SCP-6OOO anomalies, being able to sense their state, their location, and the contents of [REDACTED].

<[WARNING]NO CONTACT is to be made with SCP-6000-B0>

3. Gardening Procedures: SCP-6OOO-A entities are to be watered separately and animal carcasses are to be spread separately to prevent destruction of each other, resulting in their own wilting. They should be watered on a bi weekly basis, mineral rich soil is to be laid out across SCP-6OOO-A roots to in case of a lack of wildlife to sustain it. Personnel entering SCP-6OOO-A are required to put on new, decontaminated clothing when entering SCP-6OOO-A to avoid contaminating it. SCP-6OOO is prohibited to return anywhere near SCP-6OOO-A entities in case of further mutations.]

4. Reports of SCP-6000-A2 have been found tangle within the mycelium tunnels of SCP-6000-A4, suggesting that, along with animal carcasses, the Class-A entities absorb sustenance from weaker instances of similar mutations.
