Princess

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-A and -B are currently held within Armed Containment Site-XXXX. The facility only houses both anomalies, and its coordinates are to be restricted behind Level 4 or higher clearance. Currently, Mobile Task Force Alpha-5 ("Knights in Shining Armor") is stationed on-site as security.

Description: SCP-XXXX refers to two related anomalies designated SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B.

SCP-XXXX-A is a female humanoid with a height of 167 cm. It resembles baseline humans (Homo sapiens) with a pale skin tone, and long black hair. The only noticable difference is that all teeth have sharp points along with red colored irises. Despite its general appearance, genetic testing reveals it is not human, and it is in fact Daevite in origin. It does not require sustenance or produce waste from ingesting substances. As of writing, its internal biology is unknown.

SCP-XXXX-B is a large, polymorphic organism of varying size. Its base form is that of a quadruped covered in armored plates made of bone measuring approximately 3 m in length. Analysis identified its mass to consist of clay, muscle tissue, and plant matter.

SCP-XXXX-A

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-A and -B are to be kept at Armed Containment Area-78, which has been created for the purpose of containing both SCP-XXXX-A and -B. The coordinates to the facility is to be known only by Level 4 personnel. Mobile Task Force Alpha-07 ("Knights in Shining Armor") is to remain stationed on-site.

The living quarters housing SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B is to be accessible only via elevator that is activated remotely. From the elevator is a corridor where Security Team Skynet is on guard and operated by Artificially Intelligent Conscript E-321. Level 3 personnel and above are only permitted entry beyond this point.

SCP-XXXX-A is to be fed only vegetarian meals daily as SCP-XXXX-B is to be fed an entire cow once a week. Physical contact with SCP-XXXX-A is prohibited. SCP-XXXX-A may make requests that is to be approved by Project Director Wright.

The Hardall family (GOI-3XXX) may be able to contribute in Foundation efforts at maintaining containment. All contributions are to be evaluated by Project Director Wright before implementation.

POI-3XXX, if encountered, is to be immediately terminated, and the facility is to engage lockdown procedures. Failure to confirm neutralization of the individual and lost of contact with MTF Alpha-7 is to lead to the deployment of MTF Nu-5 ("Hammer Down") to Armed Containment Area-78.

Description: SCP-XXXX-A is a human female that stands 1.6 meters tall and weigh 58.7 kilograms. It is somewhat pale-skinned, has black hair, and brown eyes. It is of Daevite origin and descends from royal Daeva lineage. It does not age and is accompanied by SCP-XXXX-B.

SCP-XXXX-B is a large adaptive organism of slightly varying appearance and size. It consistently takes the form of a quadruped with bone plating covering various areas of its body with an elongated head. X-ray imaging has shown the presence of a reptile-like bone structure and several unknown organs¹. DNA analysis reveals it to comprise of 34 human individuals, making up 75% while the rest is [REDACTED].

It always accompanies SCP-XXXX-A, and serves as a protector and servant. It would alter its form to perform various tasks for SCP-XXXX-A, either on command or on its own accord. Below is several examples of its alterations when servicing -A:

• Shaping its body to resemble a table or seat when one of the two is absent.
• Forming a web limb, which function similarly to an umbrella.
• Having the top of its back to resemble a royal palanquin.
• Growing fur and wrapping around -A to provide warmth.
• Growing multiple limbs and increasing muscle mass to carry objects.

-B is formidable when in a combat situation and becomes hostile to any actions it perceives as a threat such as attempting to touch -A. It has been observed to form a defensive wall or dome with its body around -A.

It has shown signs of sapience, and is spoken to by -A, though it has never spoken. It is unknown if it is incapable or if it simply refuses to speak.

-A is docile and generally silent unless speaking to -B or with personnel. It is capable of speaking English, Daevite, French, Greek, and Sumerian, though limited.

SCP-XXXX-A and -B came to the Foundation's attention when the Hardall family (GOI-XXXX)² approached the Foundation. They contacted The Administrator and requested -A and -B to enter Foundation custody to ensure the safety of -A. Please see Addendum 01.

SCP-XXXX-A has been a constant target of an unknown individual designated POI-XXXX. The individual is anomalous and not much is known, except being possibly Sarkic. They employ stealth in their endeavor to assassinate -A, and is hostile to Foundation personnel. Over ██ casualties have been caused by POI-XXXX. Due to it being an ongoing threat to the safety of an SCP object, and efforts at capture have been unsuccessful, the Ethics Committee and the O5 Council have approved the individual's termination.

Addendum 01: The following interview was with the matriarch of the Hardall family.

Ms. Allison Hardall

Interviewed: Ms. Allison Hardall

Interviewer: Dr. Emilia Albertson

Foreword: Interview took place in an estate of the Hardall family the Foundation was aware of that was agreed upon for the interview to take place.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Albertson: Hello, Ms. Hardall. I would like to thank you for agreeing to this interview.

Ms. Hardall: You're welcome.

Dr. Albertson: Anyway, can you please tell me about how SCP-XXXX-A came into your family's care?

Ms. Hardall: It was a long time ago and depends if you are familiar with the history of the Daeva.

Dr. Albertson: I am somewhat familiar with the Daeva civilization. Please explain nonetheless.

Ms. Hardall: Well, it was back at a time of war. The Blood Empress of the Daeva was facing an enemy unlike any other that dared try to conquer her domain, the Grand Karcist Ion. One day, in the midst of night, the Empress's eldest daughter, Lovaatar, was no where to be found, and it brought fear to her and her court. She feared for her legacy for she had only one daughter to carry the future of her people.

So she had to send the young princess into asylum.

Dr. Albertson: Then I presume that is when your family comes in?

Ms. Hardall: Yes.

Dr. Albertson: Before you go into that, may you please tell me about SCP-XXXX-B?

Ms. Hardall: The guardian? Well, it was made by the Empress from the corpses of her brave fallen sons that went to battle.

Dr. Albertson: Alright, please continue.

Ms. Hardall: So they transported her north into Europe where my family ruled. We had aided the Daeva in the past, and the Empress could surely trust us. We had knowledge of hidden places, and we were very capable. We also had connections for our family's reach is far.

Dr. Albertson: Such as Marshall, Carter and Dark, correct? How did that come to be?

Ms. Hardall: They were referred to as The Merchants then, but yes. We know Dark personally, but we digress.

Dr. Albertson: Sorry.

Ms. Hardall: It's alright. Anyway, we had kept the princess for years and treated her as our own. Unfortunately, the Daeva had fallen despite them and their allies defeating the Sarkics, who apparently were having an internal conflict. We don't know the details of that. What we do know is the Followers of Mekhane³ were of great aid with their technology.

Dr. Albertson: I heard of them.

Ms. Hardall: Yeah, we raised her ever since and that is all until now.

Dr. Albertson: So why have the princess be under our custody? Why now?

Ms. Hardall: Well, despite the war ending, the spawn of the Grand Karcist are still around. You and I both know that. Our family, despite our efforts in keeping the princess a secret, became a target.

A few failed assassination attempts were directed at members of my family by an unknown assailant. We lost several mercenaries and things got complicated. Whoever it is has left behind a symbol we recognize as Sarkic. We need the princess to be safe.

Dr. Albertson: What was the symbol?

Ms. Hardall: One used by Sarkic assassins a long time ago in the war. Again, please don't let them bring harm to her.

Dr. Albertson: I assure you we won't allow anything to happen to her. Besides, she has the guardian with her just in case. She is safer than she would ever be.

Well. I believe that is all. Again, thank you for agreeing to this interview. It has been a pleasure. Wait, one more thing. What is the princess's name?

Ms. Hardall: Her name is Saana.

Dr. Albertson: Lovely. Thank you and goodbye.

Addendum 02: Details of Security Team Skynet

+ Open Document

Security Team Skynet, Armed Containment Area-78

This document is Level 4/Skynet classified. Unauthorized access is to be reported to RAISA immediately.

Security Team Skynet is composed entirely of machines operated automatically by Artificially Intelligent Conscript E-321 (Eddie.aic). Some units of the team originate from GOI-1115 ("Anderson Robotics") that the Hardall family acquired to serve as security through Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. The following units that comprise Security Team Skynet are:

• 9 Peregrine Series Humanoid Utility Droids (For information on Peregrine Series Humanoid Utility Droids, please view SCP-1360)
• 2 Aplomado Series Facility Defense Units
• 1 Giant-class unpiloted combat drone
• 4 Ceiling-mounted turrets

The Peregrine units have received the following modifications that was requested in the initial order.

• Advanced Firearms Skill Set
• Advanced Unarmed Combat Skill Set
• Medium Thaumic Incendiary Incantations Skill Set

One Peregrine unit (Unit #1) had received a later modification that replaced the right forearm with a gauntlet lined with copper. Gauntlet is able to deliver strong electrical currents upon impact.

All Peregrine units are armed with standard assault rifles, two incendiary grenades, and a combat knife.

Due to being operated by Eddie.aic, all units are able to see through all the cameras in the facility, and be aware of the location of any threat. Units are less likely to be vulnerable to hacking due to Eddie.aic designed to fend off such attempts, and report it to Mobile Task Force Kappa-10 ("Skynet").

All units of the team are ordered to neutralize POI-XXXX, and protect SCP-XXXX-A from harm.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-A

Interviewer: Dr. Emilia Albertson

Foreword: A glass barrier separated -A and Dr. Albertson within the interview chamber. -B was at the entry way on -A's side.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Albertson: Hello, how have you been, Saana?

SCP-XXXX-A: Fine.

Dr. Albertson: Good. I'm going to be asking you some questions. Lets see… Do you recall what it as like before you were sent to asylum?

SCP-XXXX-A: Partially. I recall the palace, and all the servants. I was very little then.

Dr. Albertson: Did you see your mother often?

SCP-XXXX-A: No. She had an empire to rule and was busy.

Dr. Albertson: Do you miss it all?

SCP-XXXX-A: I'm… not sure.

Dr. Albertson: Why not?

SCP-XXXX-A: Back home, I was being raised to be like all my people is known to rule. To be brutal and dominating. I… dislike it. I seen abused slaves and their scars. I seen sacrifices. I'm not sure if I would allow it all, and just conquer.

There was just too much pressure to be what I am not. Feels like there still is. My people is despised by many, I would be looked up to as a representation of all they have done.

Dr. Albertson: I understand. Do you think you could have changed how your people were?

SCP-XXXX-A: I don't know. Perhaps? I only know them fully in books and what the Hardalls told me of them. They were a proud people.

Dr. Albertson: What were the Hardalls like?

SCP-XXXX-A: They treated me well. They took care of me, and they felt like a second family to me. They made me as happy as they could, despite the circumstances.

I would feel stuck though. I don't enjoy being hidden away all the time. All my life I known was walls. (Sighs) I guess that's life…

Dr. Albertson: Well, that's all for now. Thank you and I'll see you soon. Bye.

SCP-XXXX-A: Bye.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-A

Interviewer: Dr. Emilia Albertson

<Begin Log>

SCP-XXXX-A: Hello.

Dr. Albertson: Hello. I come to ask more questions.

SCP-XXXX-A: Alright.

Dr. Albertson: I notice you don't eat meat, which is unusual due to meat being commonly consumed by high-ranking members of Daeva society. Why did you chose this diet? Of course, if there a reason worth mentioning.

SCP-XXXX-A: It was back when I was a little girl. My mother had me and the whole family watch a man being executed. He was said to be a traitor. I still don't know how so.

My mother had his flesh served, and his blood in a cup to offer to some god. To me, it seems as if the flesh still moved. My mother stated that the weak was to make the strong stronger.

My plate had an eyeball that stared at me. I just could not eat it, and meat of all kind hasn't been right since. It sickens me.

Dr. Albertson: Oh my. Well, next question. What can you tell me about SCP-XXXX-B? (Points to SCP-XXXX-B)

SCP-XXXX-A: Oh, him… or they, is an old friend. As you can see, I'm never out of their sight.

Dr. Albertson: You know they are…. ?

SCP-XXXX-A: Yes. My bothers. As always, watching over me…

Brief silence

Dr. Albertson: Are you alright?

SCP-XXXX-A: Yeah, I just… was remembering. I was always with my brothers before they were sent to go fight. I got along with them, and they would make me happy… I had no friends but them. I would wonder if they still remember sometimes of those days.

Dr. Albertson: What about your sister?

SCP-XXXX-A: She… I don't know why, but she never enjoyed my presence. I remember always trying with her, and she would get angry… She was always angry.

No one know what happened to her exactly that night. Despite everything, I would sometimes think about her. Others say she was devoured by the Grand Karcist and his monstrous armies, but I don't think so.

Dr. Albertson: Why do you feel that way, Saana?

SCP-XXXX-A: I don't know exactly. I just feel as if… as if she just wanted to go away. I felt she wasn't very happy. It comforts me to think she is somewhere better than dead.

Dr. Albertson: Yeah… If you were to see her right now, what would you say?

SCP-XXXX-A: I wouldn't say anything, but hug her if she would let me. I miss her.

Dr. Albertson: [Sigh] Well, anything else you would like to say before we are finish?

SCP-XXXX-A: How is the Hardalls?

Dr. Albertson: They are fine. They are helping us keep you safe from whoever is after you.

SCP-XXXX-A: Okay, thank you. I miss them too.

Dr. Albertson: You're welcome, and that is understandable. Well, goodbye.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-A

Interviewer: Dr. Emilia Albertson

Foreword: The following is an excerpt of the interview with extraneous data removed for brevity.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Albertson: Very well, next question. What are your thoughts about the assassin that is after you?

SCP-XXXX-A: Sometimes I do. I don't know who they are, but I pity them. It is sometimes quite saddening.

Dr. Albertson: Why do you pity them? What makes you feel sad?

SCP-XXXX-A: Because I represent a heritage that had brought so much pain. If they were once someone affected by my people or related to someone that were, I would feel remorse on behalf of my people. I would feel the need to apologize on behalf of an empire no longer here, and no apology could make up for it all.

When they saw the Grand Karcist, they saw hope to be free and unleash their pain back to their tormentors. Sadly, they became what they hate and they couldn't see that. We made them that way… to be slaves. Perfect for the Grand Karcist to prey on them.

Brief silence

Dr. Albertson: Very profound. If it makes you feel better, you probably would have been a great ruler. Well, that concludes our session, I'm afraid.
