Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained inside a standard containment cell, isolated from any hazardous or sentient SCPs. Security cameras are to be set up at low angles inside the containment chamber to monitor SCP-XXXX-01’s activity within SCP-XXXX. Absolutely no personal items of any kind are allowed in SCP-XXXX's containment chamber and any personnel attempting to engage with SCP-XXXX must undergo a complete body search by stationed guards. All personal items are to be confiscated and only returned upon exiting the containment chamber. This includes note-taking devices such as clipboards, pens, pencils, etc. In the event personnel engage SCP-XXXX or SCP-XXXX-01 and wish to take notes, a mini-blackboard and chalk will be rented to said personnel, to be returned after transcribing their notes upon exiting the containment chamber.

In the event of a containment breach, on-hand security guards trained in containment of SCP-XXXX-01 are to be deployed. Verbal attempts will be made to convince SCP-XXXX-01 to yield and be assisted back to containment. In the event SCP-XXXX-01 is uncooperative, the use of stun grenades and sleeping agents shall be used to incapacitate SCP-XXXX-01. As firearms have been proven ineffective, brute force is only to be mandated for self defense or as a last resort.

Due to its anomalous nature, SCP-XXXX-01 cannot receive nourishment nor does it require food or water. SCP-XXXX-01 is allowed to request items for personal use. As of ██/█/████, in the event that either SCP-XXXX-01 or a researcher requests an item for use on SCP-XXXX, it must be approved by Site Director Dr. Jameson (See Addendum-XXXX.1 for details). The current list of items banned from SCP-XXXX’s containment chamber include but are not limited to: Organic materials, any liquid compounds, firearms or explosives, electronics, other SCP’s, and objects that do not have a blunt or round edge. For additional questions, contact Site Director Dr. Jameson.

SCP-XXXX-01 is to be given regular psychiatric evaluations and, in the event of a breach, additional interviews following its recontainment.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a large obsidian mirror 2 meters tall, 0.75 meters wide, and approximately 650 kilograms. It rests on a bronze frame of 4 wheels that have an extremely low friction coefficient, allowing for SCP-XXXX to be moved around with little effort despite its immense weight. Unlike a conventional mirror, SCP-XXXX only reflects the building layout it is placed in. Any physical objects that aren't strictly part of the building are absent. This includes doors, furniture, food, water, plants, and any sentient life, organic or inorganic.

All forms of sapient organic life that attempt to enter SCP-XXXX will find themselves pushing against the entrance as if it is an actual mirror, and will not be able to enter. Non-sapient matter is able to be placed inside SCP-XXXX, and it will become heavier as a result. However, plant or animal byproducts that are brought inside SCP-XXXX will decompose at an anomalous rate, usually turning to dust within seconds. Any electronics such as cell phones, cameras, and robotics that enter SCP-XXXX will be rendered unusable immediately. This makes exploring the inside of SCP-XXXX near impossible. There are no current plans to test SCP-XXXX with sapient life of a non-biological nature, and any proposals of future testing will be denied.

Any matter that is in a liquid state, organic or inorganic, cannot pass into SCP-XXXX and will instead splash against it as if there was glass blocking the way. Testing with high-temperature liquids leave SCP-XXXX entirely undamaged. SCP-XXXX is also extremely hydrophobic, and liquid matter that comes into contact with any part of SCP-XXXX will be repelled instantly. This effect persists even when SCP-XXXX is lying flat on the ground.

Contained within SCP-XXXX is an entity known as SCP-XXXX-01. SCP-XXXX-01 takes the form of a male humanoid figure 151 centimeters in height, dressed in burlap rags, and a bronze collar wrapped around its neck with the letters “DCLXVI'' branded on the front. SCP-XXXX-01 is capable of full locomotion inside SCP-XXXX and is able to move outside of its frame of vision from the outside, often disappearing for a time span of a few hours, to several days (See Addendum XXXX.3). SCP-XXXX-01 has difficulty with movement due to being afflicted with a severe muscular disfigurement in its legs, and is forced to use two bronze canes strapped to its arms to assist in walking. This method is very similar to humans born with cognitive motor control disabilities. Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX, it is impossible to determine whether SCP-XXXX-01’s affliction is genetic or was caused by external factors. Despite its limitations, SCP-XXXX-01 is able to move SCP-XXXX around by protruding its canes outside of SCP-XXXX and dragging the vessel along the ground. This appears to put immense stress on SCP-XXXX-01 and the process itself is quite slow, only moving at an average of 0.73 meters per second. Despite the immense effort it takes SCP-XXXX-01 to drag SCP-XXXX along the ground, it has surprising upper-arm strength. Tests of having SCP-XXXX-01 thrust its canes forward have yielded forces of over 30,000 N.

SCP-XXXX-01 is sapient and highly intelligent. At the time of its containment, SCP-XXXX-01 was fluent in Italian, Latin, Turkish, Greek, and [REDACTED]. SCP-XXXX-01 has also become fluent in English during its time with the Foundation. In interviews SCP-XXXX-01 is described as “highly charismatic and persuasive” which has led to several breaches in protocol and the approval of questionable items for SCP-XXXX-01’s containment that might otherwise have been denied. This has led researchers to believe that its charming nature may be part of its anomalous properties. SCP-XXXX-01 has also displayed a mastery of sleight-of-hand techniques and high-precision motor control of its canes. This combination of skills is how SCP-XXXX-01 manages to continuously break containment.

SCP-XXXX-01’s primary methods of breaking containment revolve around disassembling or modifying items approved for its chamber, or stolen from personnel during experimentation and routine maintenance. SCP-XXXX-01 then uses said modifications as makeshift lockpicks, screwdrivers and on rare occasions, minor explosives. Security footage has revealed SCP-XXXX-01 to be able to pick the locks on security systems that would normally be impossible to open with conventional locksmith tools. For more information regarding SCP-XXXX-01’s containment breaches, see Addendum XXXX.2.

Addendum XXXX.1: Log of Requested Items

Below is a non-comprehensive list of items requested by SCP-XXXX-01. The full list can be obtained from Site Director Jameson upon request.

+ SCP-XXXX-01’s Requests

• Several books including an English dictionary, a Greek to English dictionary, a comprehensive guide to English grammar, and several works of fiction spanning from the 9th century to the present. Approved.
  • Addendum: Upon items being introduced to SCP-XXXX, the books rapidly decomposed leaving SCP-XXXX-01 holding handfuls of dust, causing it visible distress.
• The same books requested before, but printed on a non-biological compound. Approved.
• One bedroll made of synthetic materials. Approved.
• One wall-mounted television in SCP-XXXX’s containment that plays nature documentaries from the hours of 1100 to 1600. Approved. Following Incident XXXX-1, item is to be confiscated by personnel and SCP-XXXX-01 is hereby forbidden access to electronic devices of any kind.
• Two chairs and a small dining table, made from non-organic materials. Approved. Following Incident XXXX-5, items are to be confiscated by personnel and no objects without a rounded edge are to be allowed within SCP-XXXX’s containment.
• One set of paintbrushes, paint and blank canvases for artistic use, made from synthetic materials. Approved Following Incident XXXX-12, items are to be confiscated. Any objects able to be sharpened, snapped, or bent, artistic or otherwise, are hereby forbidden from entering SCP-XXXX. In the event SCP-XXXX-01 requests art supplies in the future, it will be provided brittle multicolor sidewalk chalk made from synthetic materials.
• Modifications done to SCP-XXXX-01’s walking canes, allowing for finer motor control. Approved. Following Incident XXXX-16, the modifications done to SCP-XXXX-01’s canes are to be disassembled immediately and personnel involved properly disciplined. SCP-XXXX-01 is hereby forbidden from receiving any alterations to its body or its canes, and any requests for modification of any kind are to be denied immediately.
  • Notice from Site Director Bridget H. Jameson: How in the name of God’s Green Earth did this manage to get approved without my permission? SCP-XXXX-01 is not some hotel guest and we are not its concierge. As of today, any requests made by SCP-XXXX-01 that don’t go through me will be punished severely. Thank you.
    -Dr. BHJ
• One synthetic bean bag chair. Approved.

Addendum XXXX.2: History of Breaches

In its history of Foundation possession, SCP-XXXX-01 has breached containment 22 times. Of these 22 breaches, 19 of them resulted in successful recontainment through either incapacitation of SCP-XXXX-01, or persuading it to return with security back to its containment cell. 2 instances resulted in SCP-XXXX-01 physically retaliating against on-site security after a restocking incident caused security to be left without any of the standard ammunition. Both altercations ended with SCP-XXXX-01 giving up and cooperating with security, but not after injuring a combined total of 7 staff members in the process. It should be taken note that SCP-XXXX-01 has caused 0 fatalities in its history with the Foundation, and the worst injuries it has inflicted on staff have been mild abrasions and bruises.

The remaining containment breach occurred on ██/█/████. During a relocation of SCP-XXXX after an unrelated breach at Site-███, SCP-XXXX-01 managed to escape temporary containment. It was found 10 hours later in an empty maintenance closet. Scattered around SCP-XXXX were documents containing experiment logs of [REDACTED]. Due to a malfunction of security cameras at Site-███ following the incident, it is unknown how exactly SCP-XXXX-01 managed to escape its temporary containment and get a hold of said documentation. SCP-XXXX’s reclassification to Keter due to its seemingly inevitable containment breaches and potential threat to Foundation security is to be considered.

Addendum XXXX.3: SCP-XXXX-01’s Sudden and Unusual Absence

On ██/██/████, the inside of SCP-XXXX began to glow with a dark red hue between the hours of 1700 and 1730. During this time, SCP-XXXX-01 was seen walking out of view from inside SCP-XXXX and did not reappear. Staff promptly began searching SCP-XXXX’s containment cell for SCP-XXXX-01 and issued a site-wide search under the possibility SCP-XXXX-01 managed to manifest outside of SCP-XXXX. Approximately 72 hours later, SCP-XXXX-01 reappeared inside SCP-XXXX with no major alterations to its body. When questioned on the cause of its absence, it mentioned a “regular checkup”.

Shortly after SCP-XXXX-01 reappeared inside SCP-XXXX, it used the synthetic chalk provided in its chambers to write on the walls. It’s writings included symbols of unknown origin, as well as the full names of [REDACTED]. A common trait shared with the names written by SCP-XXXX-01 is that they were all exclusively D-class Foundation personnel that were declared deceased in the massive breach of Site-██ 2 months prior.

SCP-XXXX-01 has refused to elaborate further on either topic.

Addendum XXXX.4: Relevant Interview with SCP-XXXX-01

+ Interview Log XXXX-CB22:

Interviewer: Site Director Dr. Jameson

Interviewee: SCP-XXXX-01

Date:█/██/████

Purpose: Routine interview following recontainment of SCP-XXXX’s most recent breach. Upon contact with on-site security, SCP-XXXX-01 immediately announced its surrender and allowed itself to be brought back to its containment chamber.

[BEGIN LOG]

[Dr. Jameson enters the containment chamber holding rental chalkboard and takes a seat on the inflatable chair placed opposite of SCP-XXXX’s entrance. SCP-XXXX-01 is seen inside SCP-XXXX picking at its fingernails.]

SCP-XXXX-01: Hello, Doctor. I can only assume this about my recent…mishap?

Dr. Jameson: [motions towards west security camera] Beginning post-breach interview of SCP-XXXX-01.

SCP-XXXX-01: Tch, Procedures are procedures. Well, let’s get this over with.

Dr. Jameson: We would like you to go into detail over how you succeeded in breaching containment yesterday. Specifically, we want you to explain how you manage to consistently bypass the retinal scans.

SCP-XXXX-01: Now you know I can’t go around sharing trade secrets. That would ruin the whole fun.

Dr. Jameson: XXXX-01, do we have to remind you that disciplinary actions in regards to your breaches hinge on your cooperation? I would highly suggest giving a concise answer.

SCP-XXXX-01: Figures. Well I can’t really put it into words how exactly I get around your systems per se. Once I visualize things as a simple shackle or lock, finding the key becomes a breeze. I’ve just had a knack for getting myself out of binds, ever since I was young. Before I was…in the state you see me today. [NOTE: This was the first time SCP-XXXX-01 mentioned it was once outside of SCP-XXXX.]

Dr. Jameson: Could you elaborate on how you developed your skills before coming into contact with SCP-XXXX?

SCP-XXXX-01: Sure. I wasn’t exactly a great guy so naturally I’d find myself at the wrong end of the law more times than I can count. Naturally I’d find a way out every time, but that’s the irony about escaping your sentence. Doing so just adds more time the next time you're caught, so you escape, get caught again, repeat ad nauseum. Do you get what I’m saying? It gets to a point where they don’t care about what the original crime even was. They just want to see you locked up for good.

Dr. Jameson: Thank you, XXXX-01. I guess that’s the best answer we’ll get from that. Considering your past, do you have a reason for your constant breaches?

[SCP-XXXX-01 appears pensive and remains silent for 30 seconds]

SCP-XXXX-01: With all due respect, Doctor, take a look at me. I can’t eat. I can’t drink. I can’t enjoy many of life’s simple pleasures. I can’t even walk on my own. I break out because it makes me feel like I have some semblance of control over this…condition. It doesn’t matter that I can barely make it a few feet before you gas me and throw me back in here.

Dr. Jameson: I see. Well, we will still have to issue a reprimand for this breach. All leisure items inside SCP-XXXX will be confiscated and any interviews will be withheld except for the regular psychological checks. This period will last for the next 30 days after which you will be able to make requests again.

SCP-XXXX-01: Only a month this time? You’re too kind, doctor.

Dr. Jameson: Considering your immediate cooperation in recontainment, we have decided that there’s no need for a harsher punishment in order to encourage this behavior in the event of another breach.

SCP-XXXX-01: Well you could always just put a tighter lid on me. I mean, that’s what you’ve been doing for quite a while anyways.

Dr. Jameson: Don’t tempt us. Well, I suppose that wraps up the interview for today. Do you have any questions, XXXX-01?

SCP-XXXX-01: Do you think anyone deserves this?

Dr. Jameson: I fail to see what you mean.

SCP-XXXX-01: [Gestures around itself] Me. This prison. Everything about this hell I endure on a daily basis. Does anyone deserve this?

Dr. Jameson: Well, XXXX-01, your anomalous properties would very likely be considered unethical if they were administered as a punishment if that’s what you’re talking about. Although SCP-XXXX’s unique effects could have some parallels drawn to sensory deprivation, which has been used in the past as a form of punishment. So, there may be some that would justify your current situation if the offense was bad enough.

SCP-XXXX-01: That’s just what I’d expect to hear from you. Now what about forever?

Dr. Jameson: I beg your pardon?

SCP-XXXX-01: Forever. As in eternity. Would even the worst criminal deserve this? Would there be a point where the punishment exceeds their misdeeds and they are essentially tortured unfairly?

Dr. Jameson: I’m afraid the metaphysical concept of eternity is a bit out of my field of-

[SCP-XXXX-01 interrupts Dr. Jameson by slamming its canes on the floor.]

SCP-XXXX-01: I’m tired of your sterile talk, doctor! I’m also tired of this entire place’s sick sense of justice! You use living people as your own experimental meatshields and tell yourself it’s all rationalized for some bullshit greater good! How much blood is on your hands, Bridget? [NOTE: It is unknown how SCP-XXXX-01 got ahold of Dr. Jameson’s full name.] How many souls could have been reconciled had they not been snuffed out like a candle; extinguished before they were given a chance to shine their brightest?!

[SCP-XXXX-01 is now pressing against the entrance to SCP-XXXX, looking straight at Dr. Jameson.]

Dr. Jameson: XXXX-01, I would advise that you calm down before we reconsider your probation length.

[SCP-XXXX-01 uses its canes to push itself to stand up, then grabs a piece of chalk and walks the wall of SCP-XXXX directly facing Dr. Jameson. After writing on the wall for approximately 20 seconds, it then moves to the side to show Dr. Jameson what it wrote. This causes an audible gasp from Dr. Jameson.]

SCP-XXXX-01: They always say “Her mother would be proud” but what about the opposite, doctor?

Dr. Jameson: How in the? You fucking bastard-

[Dr. Jameson proceeds to leap over the temporary barrier between her and SCP-XXXX before screaming obscenities and fruitlessly attempting to attack SCP-XXXX-01 while it laughs. Security is then dispatched to remove Dr. Jameson from containment.]

Closing Statement: The name SCP-XXXX-01 wrote was █████ █. Jameson: the late daughter of Dr. Jameson. It is of note that her day of passing was █/██/████ - only 2 weeks before the interview; although the cause of death is isolated from any known SCP. It is currently unknown how SCP-XXXX-01 got access to this information. An investigation on the matter is pending.

Following Interview XXXX-CB22, the mental health of Site Director Dr. Jameson has declined rapidly. She has expressed visible hatred for SCP-XXXX-01 and has proposed for it to be reclassified as Keter and all privileges revoked. While the status of its reclassification is pending, Dr. Jameson’s proposals to remove SCP-XXXX-01 of all privileges have been denied by 05-██. Furthermore, Dr. Jameson is to be put on psychiatric leave and potentially reassigned if she continues to have an unprofessional bias against SCP-XXXX-01.
