Item #: SCP-XXXXObject Class: Keter |
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:SCP-XXXX is contained at Site-26’s Armed Containment Sector1 inside a hexagonal Aquatic Containment cell with a measurement of 5m x 8m x 5m. The aquarium should be constructed out of composite metal with a thickness of 3cm and reinforced concrete with a thickness of 4cm, four Ardthen-Xybil Molecular Phasing Negation modules2 are to be sandwiched between composite metal and reinforced concrete to prevent further containment breaches. A one-way ballistic glass constructed out of polycarbonate mirrors would be emplaced on the top of the aquarium to provide a view inside the aquarium. SCP-XXXX has shown no need for sustenance. Aquarium maintenance will be done on a bi-weekly basis by underwater drones.
Instances of SCP-XXXX designated -1 to -195 are to be neutralized regardless of the situation by utilizing Class III Thaumaturgical weaponry. Foundation agents embedded within every nation’s oceanography team are instructed to eradicate information regarding SCP-XXXX and create falsified data. Should information regarding SCP-XXXX be leaked accidentally or intentionally, memetic kill agent codenamed “ Orpheus “ will be deployed among civilian, private research sectors.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid with an elongated head, ectomorph body mass and anatomically similar to the species of Amblyrhynchus cristatus3, it assumes a bipedal form and swims by using its’ tail to propel the body and has a height of approximately 7ft, and weighs 230 kg. The entity has dark greenish scales that cover the entire body and a bluish discoloration at the forehead. The tail also has a Vickers hardness test of 15000HV. A symbol of unidentified origin is engraved on the tail, Further research done upon by Foundation cryptographers and cognitohazard specialists has shown results that it has acquired a negative on the Griffith tests.
An unidentified reddish chemical agent, now referred to as SCP-XXXX- λ, would be emitted by the entity and attracts nearby wastes to the entity’s body. The waste itself does not embed within the entity but maintains distance with a radius of 1.5m. The mechanics as to how SCP-XXXX- λ attracts waste is unknown up to this present day. Researchers ████ and ████ suggested that the chemical agent would prove to be beneficial for humanity to clean up our shores, however with the limited understanding of SCP-XXXX. It would only be a matter of time before SCP-XXXX- λ will be used to purify this planet from pollutions.
SCP-XXXX is also capable of replicating itself into 195 instances that has the capabilities carry out it’s task. The mechanisms of SCP-XXXX’s replication is via undergoing an incorporeal phase wherein within a period of 48 hours and appears frequently on the African and Asian Continents. However, the entity is also capable of utilizing the incorporeal phase to escape its containment [Refer to Addendum 4/XXXX-B]. Furthermore, Dr. Ardthen has postulated that SCP-XXXX’s ability to replicate itself is in tandem with its ability to secrete a chemical agent that attracts nearby wastes while the its tail acts as a self-defense mechanism in order to fulfill its mission.
The entity was found on ██████, Philippines on ██/██/15 by the Foundation’s pair of unmanned underwater vehicles examining a sudden accumulation of waste in a particular area. [REFER TO ADDENDUM 4/XXXX-A]. Although SCP-XXXX is contained inside an aquatic humanoid containment cell, it still poses a threat to civilians and Foundation personnel, and at least ██ deaths are attributed to this entity.
On █ █/██/15. The initial discovery of SCP-XXXX on ██████ , ████████ has prompted the Foundation to deploy a diver team accompanied by twin UUVs4 to the twilight zone armed with harpoons. A video log on UUV-2 captures footage of a Foundation diver frantically trying to escape as SCP-XXXX dragged Agent ██████ to the depths of the ocean. All divers are presumed to be KIA, Mobile Task Force Upsilon-6 deployed to assess the situation and hinder SCP-XXXX’s progression. [OPERATION BLACK SEA]
ACCESS GRANTED
Welcome, Researcher.
Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force Upsilon-6 “Lancelot”
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Mission Status: Discontinued; Orpheus Protocol enacted.
Site Commander-in-Charge: “Prophet”
**Team Leader: Lancelot-Alpha
**Members: Lancelot-1(Presumed to be KIA), Lancelot-2, Lancelot-3
<Begin Log, 2:30 AM>
[Lancelot-Alpha’s helmet feed opens up, displays vital signs and mission status, the view pans to the left and shows the interior of the V-22 and several Lancelot members preparing SCUBA equipment.]
Lancelot-Alpha: Prophet, MTF Upsilon-6 Lancelot is prepped and ready for transfer. All team members, we are dropping in 2 mikes.
Lancelot-1: Copy.
Lancelot-2: Copy.
Lancelot-3: Copy.
Lancelot-Alpha: Major Cassius, please lower down the ramp.
[The ramp opens, a fresh cold breeze enters the VTOL. Lancelot-Alpha steps forward and peeks from below. Helmet feed shows a dark shaped donut moving under the ocean.]
Lancelot-1: That’s a big fucking donut we got there. Any idea on what the hell is that thing?
Prophet: Initial thermal sighting from UUVs shows an unidentified creature, possibly a humanoid within the circle. Containment specialists are already debriefed about the entity. We’re hoping that no casualties would be encountered along the way, Lancelots. Godspeed.
Lancelot-3: Thanks for the heads up, Prophet. Pretty helpful as usual [smirks].
[Lancelot-3 then nudges Lancelot-2 who was fixing her harpoon]
Lancelot-2: Quit fucking with me, will ya
Lancelot-Alpha: Oi! You two better stop fighting or I’ll be sure to drop you within that donut.
[Awkward silence ensues. A minute later, a green light opens up signifying the commencement of the drop]
Pilot: Lancelots. [Pauses] You are clear for drop over, drop zone is clear.
Lancelot-Alpha: Acknowledged. Okay, Lancelot-1 and Lancelot-2 set your harpoons to lethal mode, you’ll be setting up a crossfire. Lancelot-3, you’re with me and we’ll try to intercept this thing lure it towards the perimeter.
Lancelot-1: Copy that. Alright, let’s get this over with.
[All Lancelot members exit the VTOL via ramp and enters the anomalous zone.]
Lancelot-Alpha: All team members, please go to your designated spots.
[Lancelot-1 and Lancelot-2 unsheathed several red-tipped bolts from their legs and loads it within their harpoons]
Prophet: Lancelot-Alpha. We have confirmation from Big Brother that the entity is headed towards you with a speed of 50 knots.
Lancelot-Alpha: Fuck. That thing swims so fast [heaves]. All members, put your god damn safety off.
Lancelot-2: Copy that Alpha. Should we intercept that thing, eh?
Prophet: Your rules of engagement are to hinder that thing’s movement. Prevent it from reaching the shores or alerting nearby coast guards of its presence. You are authorized to use lethal force if necessary.
[Video feed from Lancelot-1 shows the aquatic entity is 10m from his location, Lancelot-1 aims his harpoon at the entity, while Lancelot-2 prepares the Class II Triton bolt.]
Lancelot-Alpha: Lancelot-1, you’re cleared hot, that shit ain’t slowing down based from my doppler radar. Blow that shit to kingdom come.
[Lancelot-1 proceeds to fire a glowing red-tipped bolt towards the entity; the bolt anchors itself to SCP-XXXX’s skin, and after ten seconds an explosion occurs and the circular ring around the entity is broken]
Lancelot-1: [audible groans] the fuck just happened?
Prophet: Cut the chatter, Lancelot-Alpha debrief me about the current situation.
Lancelot-Alpha: Okay. [pauses for a moment] the thing just took a blast from a Class-II Thaumaturgical weaponry. No effect.
Prophet: [broadcasting to all Upsilon 6 divers] Lancelots, be advised to deal with the entity with utmost precaution. Conventional and under-classed Thaumaturgic weaponry are futile against it, based from our satellite’s precognitive scanners, SCP-XXXX is traveling towards ███████████. Embedded Foundation agents are already debriefed about the situation
Lancelot-Alpha:Copy.
Lancelot-1:Copy.
Lancelot-2:Copy.
Lancelot-3:Copy.
[entity remains motionless and turns its body towards Lancelot-1]
Lancelot-1: Ah fuck.. It’s looking straight at me. It ain’t looking good buddy. [pauses] Oh… man.. What the hell is that thing doing?
[The entity turns around, and emits a red chemical that continues to expand itself and engulfs the entity while displaying signs of agony]
Lancelot-Alpha: [loads a red-tipped bolt and moves away from the team] Firing.
[the bolt strikes the entity’s torso and an explosion occurs, entity appears to curl around like a ball and the entity’s skin is observed to be peeled away, revealing it’s dark blue flesh]
[muffled noises are heard as MTF-U6 encounters audio problems with each other. From -Alpha’s headcam, -1 is seen floating still while maintaining eye contact with SCP-XXXX. Video feed on -1 is heavily distorted filled with static noise.]
Prophet: Mobile Task Force Upsilon-6, we are deploying additional assets towards your location. Olethros Protocol is now in effect, we’re retrieving you now. SCPS Sentinel of the Abyss is deployed to your location.

END OF VIDEO TRANSCRIPT[]
Initial containment of SCP-XXXX during the first 72 hours was immediately followed by the entity's containment breach. Security cameras located at SCP-XXXX's containment aquarium noticed the entity in a non-corporeal state and simply "swam" outside. Two containment teams namely, CT-09 "Aqua Boys" and CT-26 "Atlantis" were tasked of luring it back to Site-26. Post-containment reports indicated that at least █ agents were neutralized in the process.
Researcher's Note:
Cleaning up the ocean is another thing, yet throwing those trash back to capital cities whilst causing severe infrastructure damages and loss of life is another. Operation Black Sea is where the Foundation has to analyze the subject firsthand; minimal loss of life is expected as usual and the information they have acquired is vital for the next containment operations. SCP-XXXX’s anomalous ability may be of use to humanity, but not now.
