Baronjoe Toy War

An SCP-XXXX-1 instance on guard. See Exploration Log XXXX-01.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Observation Post-111 has been constructed to observe the inhabitants of SCP-XXXX, and house personnel. The area surrounding SCP-XXXX is fenced off and regularly patrolled.

No toys are to be brought within a minimum of 4 meters to SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an abandoned town located in Oregon. It is populated by animate toys hereby designated as SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 instances can be produced when a toy is brought within SCP-XXXX's area of effect, which extends into the surrounding forest, that is up to 120 meters. This is designated by the fencing established for containment. Instances are only animate within SCP-XXXX, and attempts to remove them from the area leads to instances no longer being animate.

SCP-XXXX-1 instances are sapient and a variety inhabit SCP-XXXX. The most common type of toy observed have been plastic army men. Humanoid instances are capable of speech via unknown means. Toy accessories in the shape of fire arms within SCP-XXXX are capable of being used by some -1 instances as fully functional weapons. The same is applied to toys designed after a military vehicle such as a tank.

The inhabitants of SCP-XXXX are divided into two factions that are currently at conflict with one another. The exact cause of this conflict is not entirely understood, and instances are either ignorant of the details or refuse to elaborate. Each side has developed a militaristic force supported by small communities of -1 instances. The aforementioned plastic army men are the most common, serving primarily as infantry units.

Instances are not hostile to humans or animals unless provoked. In regards to humans, instances would try to avoid incidental harm towards a human when engaging in the middle of combat. Animals are mostly ignored but sometimes tend to interfere with the activities of -1 instances.

SCP-XXXX-1 instances are able to be heavily damaged, yet continue to be animate until 'expiration'.

Method of Exploration: Aerial Quad Drone

Foreword: Drones are equipped with a speaker for the purpose of communication with an instance if needed. This applies to all drone explorations unless otherwise stated. SCP-3XXX-1 instances do not attack drones as long as it poses no threat to them. The following was from initial surveying of SCP-XXXX, which has been edited for brevity.

<Begin Log>

Drone approaches above the center of SCP-XXXX. Camera slowly turns 360° to capture images of the surrounding environment, displaying images of overgrown vegetation and broken windows. Drone hovers for 15 seconds before traveling south to the edge of the town along the central street.

Along the way, several -1 instances are spotted on the roof a nearby building to the left at the corner of the camera before being passed. Then, a large mobilization of vehicular instances (comprised of mostly tanks) are spotted traveling along the sidewalk escorting a red wagon being pushed by four stuffed animals (a bear, an elephant, and two rabbits). The wagon contained wooden cubes and rectangular blocks.

Drone is then set to follow the convoy, and is lead to a park. Instances then travel to a playground present where other instances are awaiting. Various structures surround the playground, some of which that incorporates the combination playground structure (consists of a slide, stairs, and playhouse). It is observed that the community of toys are constructing a wall around them. Camera observes instances moving bottles of glue while the wagon is being unloaded. The vehicular instances move away and surround the playground, forming a defensive perimeter.

It is noticed that an instance sitting on the roof of the playhouse is observing the drone. It has the appearance of a patchwork monkey. The drone moves closer to the instance as it descends slightly. Instance raises its arm and waves.

Drone moves away and is able to catch a glimpse of a group of instances at the opposite side of the park 8 meters away. Drone hovers to them and observes. No structures are present besides makeshift tents with pieces of trash or clothing. A few large instances are using a trashcan that is on its side for shelter. One is noticed to be brandishing a knife without a handle at the entrance.

Drone rises into the air and is then set to continue surveying. It then leaves the park.
