Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a level 5 hazardous material containment chamber. This chamber is to be outfitted with a bulletproof lining and audio surveillance equipment. The exterior of the cell is to be fitted with a secure lockbox containing one (1) revolver pistol requiring level 3 credentials to access. Research is only to be conducted using D-class personnel with a minimum of seven (7) days remaining until termination.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a revolver-type pistol, speculated to have been built in 1882, and shows appropriate rates of oxidation and tarnish. All attempts to establish a manufacturer or model without initiating SCP-XXXX’s primary effect have been unsuccessful.

SCP-XXXX’s primary anomalous effect takes manifest when any individual comes in direct contact with SCP-XXXX. Upon contact, the individual is now classified as SCP-XXXX-1. All instances of SCP-XXXX-1 have proven to be extremely hostile, and display uncooperative reactions to all prompting by research staff. SCP-XXXX-1 will define themselves as an outlaw by the name of Tennessee Red. SCP-XXXX-1 will not respond to any other designation, and attempts to convince SCP-XXXX-1 otherwise have been inconclusive.

All attempts to remove SCP-XXXX from the possession of SCP-XXXX-1 have been met with extreme hostility, and tests have resulted in expiration of all involved with the exception of SCP-XXXX-1. After approximately 24 hours of possession, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will randomly address one (1) member of the foundation by name. From that point on, aforementioned member is classified as SCP-XXXX-2. Immediately, SCP-XXXX-1 will attempt to breach containment, the most prevalent form being to discharge SCP-XXXX into the door.

Upon arrival of SCP-XXXX-2, SCP-XXXX’s secondary anomalous affect will activate. SCP-XXXX-2 will approach SCP-XXXX-1 and request a sidearm (see special containment procedures). After being provided with the requested weapon, SCP-XXXX-2 will point it directly towards SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 will likewise point SCP-XXXX directly towards SCP-XXXX-2. Both will fire their weapons, and both SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 will expire instantaneously by gunshot to the cranium. Both instances will locate one another and expire despite any amount of material interrupting the entities. After expiration, the remains are to be considered non-anomalous and are to be incinerated. SCP-XXXX is to be replaced in containment using level 5 hazardous material procedures.
