Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of the anomaly, the object’s cell is to weigh a minimum of 150 kilograms. A steel bedframe with a weighted mattress is welded to the chamber in one corner. The subject must bathe in a full tub containing the minimum weight of water, and drink from a 180 kilogram drum of water. A one-way window, gated material conveyor, and intercom remove the necessity of physical contact with the subject and allow both tests and interviews to be carried out safely. SCP-XXXX's weight is to be kept near 65 kilograms via a specialized diet consisting of low-sugar foods.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a sapient, Caucasian male humanoid. It currently measures 1.85 meters in height and weighs 64.54 kilograms. The subject was identified as Kyle Johnson using university records, and has been mildly cooperative with the Foundation.
The subject is capable of changing any non-anomalous solid or liquid into various mundane liquids, often unrelated to the initial object. Testing has shown that SCP-XXXX is incapable of transmuting any object below 1/100th of its weight or above 1.5x its weight. The anomaly is entirely uncontrolled, activating sporadically with seemingly no predictable pattern, including when the subject is sleeping. Due to this, the amount of transmutable objects within it’s containment is kept at minimum. No known material is capable of preventing the anomaly from activating.
The transmutation process itself is instant, preserving mass in place of density or volume. Testing has shown that roughly 1% of the matter of the initial item is wasted in the form of minor radiation and gaseous byproduct, though the main product always weighs exactly as much as the initial material. It was discovered that this missing 1% comes directly from the SCP itself in the form of tissue and biological materials. As of █/██/2019, there have been 3 cases where the transmutation process has put the subject’s life at risk. Due to the inherent risk to the SCP itself and to others, research is ongoing on discovering or synthesizing a material that will prevent the anomaly from occurring.
SCP-XXXX was discovered in █████████, Louisiana, United States on █/██/2012 after reports of sudden changes in the structure of ████████ University Dorm Building C. Foundation agents arrived on scene to discover parts of the dorm had been transmuted into strange and/or hazardous materials resulting in total collapse of the building, a list of which can be found in Document XXXX-Transshift (below). Amnestics were administered and SCP-XXXX was taken into custody without hassle due to its unconscious state, where it was treated for its own injuries. Of the three agents who identified and reported SCP-XXXX, Agent Carson is the only survivor.
It is important to note that the Transshift Event, when the subject's anomalous trait manifested for the first time, was the only time when the subject was capable of transmuting objects it was not physically touching, was capable of transmuting multiple objects at the same time, and was capable of creating solids and gasses. Below is Document XXXX-Transhift, a complete list of transmuted materials Agents Carson, Nikolov, and Bryan encountered when confirming the existence of SCP-XXXX.
A complete list of all materials transmuted in ██████████ University Dorm Building C is listed below.
- Seventeen wooden doors were transmuted into distilled water of equal mass.
- Thirty-nine light fixtures were transmuted into an unidentified gas.
- Eighty-eight bed frames were transmuted into a highly viscous gel.
- One hundred and thirty-seven glass windows were transmuted into cotton.
- Three motherboards were transmuted into nitroglycerin, which promptly detonated and caused several load-bearing supports to collapse and the loss of Agent Nikolov.
- One Foundation agent was transmuted into an unknown liquid, no samples of which were recovered to determine which.
- Six load-bearing supports were transmuted into a hydrazine, resulting in the collapose of the building.
Below is a transcript of an interview with SCP-XXXX that occurred once the subject was properly contained and treated for the injuries it had acquired during the collapse of Dorm Building C. The interview was conducted in a standard humanoid containment cell and the anomaly did not take effect. At this point in time, the subject was unaware of its nature and of its incarceration within the Foundation.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. █████
Foreword: Once it was confirmed to be sapient, Dr. █████ insisted upon interviewing SCP-XXXX.
<Begin Log>
Dr. █████: Can you understand me?
SCP-XXXX: What kind of question is that? Of course I can.
Dr. █████: It's just procedure. Do you know why you are here?
SCP-XXXX: No, I don't. I went to sleep last night and then woke up in a fucking infirmary.
Dr. █████: So you have no memory of the last two days, correct?
SCP-XXXX: (Subject hesitated) What the fuck did you do to me?
Dr. █████: I'll take that as confirmation. What were you doing in ████████?
SCP-XXXX: I'm enrolled there and have been for the last two years. I was taking classes. Why I'm here?
Dr. █████: There was an attack at the university and you're currently a suspect.
SCP-XXXX: Why am I a suspect?
Dr. █████: It's believed to have originated from your floor. Will you cooperate with us?
SCP-XXXX: I, yeah. I will.
Dr. █████: Thank you. Have you noticed anything strange in the university recently?
SCP-XXXX: No, nothing. Went to class, talked to my friends, studied, tested, and worked. Nothing's been different.
Dr. █████: No strangers hanging around campus, no one acting strange?
SCP-XXXX: If there were, I didn't see them.
Dr. █████: Did you find any unusual objects recently?
SCP-XXXX: Nope. I don't make a habit of picking weird shit up.
Dr. █████: Have you found anything?
SCP-XXXX: No, haven't found anything strange either.
Dr. █████: So, to restate, you haven't seen any strangers on campus, no one was acting strange, and you haven't found any unusual items.
SCP-XXXX: That's right.
Dr. █████: Have you been in contact with anyone over the internet?
SCP-XXXX: Of course. No one new, though. The same few people for the last three years or so.
Dr. █████: Have you recently met any of these people in person?
SCP-XXXX: Nope. Anything else?
Dr. █████: That's all for now.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: True to its word, the subject has cooperated with the Foundation since.
Currently reworking the interviews.
On █/██/2013, SCP-XXXX unintentionally transmuted the standard hinged-steel door to its initial containment cell into fluid nitrogen, resulting in 40 grams of the epidermis being removed from its right leg. After being medically treated and administered painkillers, Dr. █████ conducted an interview with a cooperative SCP-XXXX.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. █████
Foreword: SCP-XXXX was under the effects of pain medication due to the removal of 40 grams of tissue from its right leg. Subject was in a state of extreme agitation
<Begin Log>
SCP-XXXX: (As Dr. █████ entered) What is going on! What the hell happened to that door? What happened to my god damn leg?
Dr. █████: Please, calm yourself Mr. Johnson.
SCP-XXXX: No! Screw that! I want fucking answers!
Dr. █████: And you will receive them. I just ask you to calm down and allow me to speak.
SCP-XXXX Fine! Start speaking!
Dr. █████: Thank you. I'm sure you realize now that what happened was not natural. It was unnnatural, an anomaly.
SCP-XXXX: Yeah, that was clear the moment the door turned into liquid… nitrogen?
Dr. █████: Correct. That was because of you. You are an anomaly, and the organization I work for contains people like you until they aren't a danger to themselves or others.
SCP-XXXX: How do you do that?
Dr. █████: We either teach them to control their ability and release them or we discover a way to cancel out the ability and release them.
SCP-XXXX: How long will it take?
Dr. █████: We don't know, Mr. Johnson. However, our scientists are already underway in researching ways to control or neutralize your 'ability.' We just ask you to be patient and follow our directions.
SCP-XXXX: I… alright.
Dr. █████: I must say, you are taking this rather well, Mr. Johnson. Most don't believe us, much less cooperate.
SCP-XXXX: Yeah, well, there's not much room for doubt when I saw it happen.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Subject was relocated to a humanoid containment chamber with a thicker steel door. Subject took two months to fully recover from the removal of the epidermis layer.
On █/██/2014, SCP-XXXX transmuted a Standard Humanoid Ration package into an unidentified liquid which immediately combusted, delivering second degree burns to 32% of the subject’s face. In addition, 3 milligrams of bone was discovered missing from the subject’s skull, though no further injuries resulted from this. Dr. █████ immediately conducted an interview with the subject.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. █████
Foreword: Subject was under the effect of pain medication.
<Begin Log>
Dr. █████: Mr. Johnson, I hope the pain medication is working.
SCP-XXXX: Yeah.
Dr. █████: (Moved to speak.)
SCP-XXXX: Look, unless you’ve got news on how close you are to getting rid of this, I don’t want to hear it.
Dr. █████: We’re making progress.
SCP-XXXX: Progress. I could have died, Doctor. I have to eat! Am I risking death three times a day? Risking killing others? What am I supposed to do?
Dr. █████: We’ll notify you as soon as there has been a breakthrough on either of the projects.
SCP-XXXX: (Silent for several minutes.) Yeah, whatever doc.
Dr. █████: Any information you could give us would aid us in our endeavor.
SCP:XXXX: What do you to know?
Dr. █████: Did you notice anything different before the meal was transmuted? Any feeling or thoughts? Anything unusual?
SCP-XXXX: Nothing, unless you count me thinking how I was hungry as important.
Dr. █████: Not quite, Mr. Johnson.
SCP-XXXX: Anyway, no, I didn't notice anything. No strange feelings, wasn't thinking about changing it, didn't hear anything, and didn't taste anything. Nothing.
Dr. █████: Thank for your cooperation. I'll get back to you when there's a development.
SCP-XXXX: Alright, doc.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Subject refused to eat for 32 hours before succumbing to hunger and returning to a normal meal schedule, albeit reluctantly.
On █/██/2016, SCP-XXXX was obscured from CCTV cameras by smoke. Medical and security personnel rushed to SCP-XXXX’s room. SCP-XXXX’s blanket had been transmuted into a solution that produced a dark gray smoke. 86% of the subject’s body had been died gray before the solution was neutralized. It is unknown why it the subject’s bedding had been transmuted, though it is believed that the blanket had not weighed the proper amount.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. ███████
Foreword: Conducted by Dr. ███████ four days after Incident-XXXX-44. Dr. █████ was unavailable for this interview.
<Begin Log>
Dr. ███████: SCP-XXXX?
SCP-XXXX: I prefer 'Mr. Johnson' or 'Kyle,' doctor.
Dr. ███████: Ah, my apologies. How are you feeling, Mr. Johnson?
SCP-XXXX: Good, all things considering. Most of my skin is gray until this stuff washes off, but it could have been worse.
Dr. ███████: Yes, it was quite a relief to staff that you hadn't combusted.
SCP-XXXX: I'd imagine so.
Dr. ███████: In any case, I didn't come here to discuss your temporarily gray skin with you. The research team believes they have managed to devise a neutralizer for you ability. Currently, it should last about a week or so, but we're hoping to extend the length to permanence. Do we have your consent to test it?
SCP-XXXX: Yeah, definitely. I'm guessing it's an injection?
Dr. ███████: Pill, actually. It'll be provided to you at dinner, Mr. Johnson.
SCP-XXXX: Thank you. Here's to hoping it works.
<End Log>
Closing Statement:
Beginning on █/██/2016 and lasting until ██/██/2016, every object under 10 kilograms that SCP-XXXX came into contact with was transmuted without fail. Subject's left arm was permanently paralyzed due to several grams of nerves being removed. It was determined that this was caused by the pill Dr. ███████ had administered to SCP-XXXX. When the effect wore off six days later, Dr. █████ conducted another interview.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. █████
Foreword: Dr. █████ was recognized and greeted immediately by the subject who had ignored Dr. ███████ the day before. The subject had been unable to eat in the previous week and had only been able to drink when provided a drum containing a mass of water weighing over 130 kilograms.
<Begin Log>
SCP-XXXX: (As Dr. █████ entered the room.) Welcome back, doctor.
Dr. █████: How do you feel, Mr. Johnson?
SCP-XXXX: Like shit. Still hungry. I know they can’t give me more yet or I’ll get sick, though.
Dr. █████: I want you to know that the team had no idea that would happen as a result of the neutralizer.
SCP-XXXX: Yeah, I figured that. Think you can keep giving me water in a drum again.
Dr. █████: Why is that, Mr. Johnson?
SCP-XXXX: One less risk since I can't transmute that much water. There's, uh, not really anything that can be done about food, I guess.
Dr. █████: Simple enough to arrange, I assure you. Still no feeling in your arm?
SCP-XXXX: None whatsoever. Are you any closer to figuring out how to get rid of this? It’s been three years, I think.
Dr. █████: No, Mr. Johnson. We aren’t. The team is being even more careful after what happened. We don’t even know why it happened.
SCP-XXXX: I'll just, uh, wait, I guess. Not much else I can do.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX was told to remain in its bed while technical personnel entered the chamber and set up a way of refilling the drum from the outside.
On ██/█/2018, SCP-XXXX, the water line in the 180 kilogram drum dipped below safety levels. The subject moved to drink from the drum only for the remaining 120kg of water to be transmuted into red-tinted milk. The subject fell unconscious, and it was discovered that 1.1 liters, or 1.2kg, of blood had been removed from its system. SCP-XXXX was unable to be administered a blood transplant due to the anomaly and was forced to recover over time. One intravenous feeding tube had been transmuted, resulting in minor damaging to the subject's left hand. On █/██/2019, SCP-XXXX was interviewed by Dr. █████.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. █████
Foreword: The subject had only recently awoken and was still within his chamber.
<Begin Log>
Dr. █████: Mr. Johnson, are you in any pain?
SCP-XXXX: No, not really. I'm sick and weak and tired, but not in any pain. Guess that's blood loss, huh? I was told my hand was hurt, but that's already healed up.
Dr. █████: A minor condolence, considering what happened. You might be relieved to know that the technicians have redesigned the water drum. Sensors will now automatically fill it anytime it dips below 160 kilograms.
SCP-XXXX: That's good, I guess. Oh, and, uh, my arm still doesn't have any feeling in it, but I guess that's nothing new for you.
Dr. █████: No, it's not.
SCP-XXXX: Any news?
Dr. █████: Possibly. There's a new substance that's been known to help people like you. We've received approval to begin using it in testing, to see if it will neutralize your ability.
SCP-XXXX: Forgive me if I stay skeptical, doctor.
Dr. █████: Of course, Kyle. Hopefully, by this time next month, we'll have a way to neutralize your ability.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Possible neutralization of SCP-XXXX's anomaly is pending development of any material capable of negating the transmutation effect. As of ██/█/2019, no such materials have been discovered.
