Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures (as of ██/██/201█): SCP-XXXX is allowed a standard, two room staff domicile at site-██. The domicile can be locked from the inside by SCP-XXXX, with overrides only available to Dr. Caprice and the current site director. It is allowed level-1 clearance to site-██ and, at the discretion of the current site director, may sit in on low-level observations and experiments, with the understanding that it will not interfere.
Staff of site-██ are allowed and encouraged to interact with SCP-XXXX. Staff that upset SCP-XXXX may be reported by SCP-XXXX itself via a personal pager connected to Dr. Caprice. Extra accommodations may be requested by SCP-XXXX, and will be sent through the same channels. Said staff may be reprimanded and relocated at her discretion. Staff are discouraged of starting fights or arguments with SCP-XXXX.
Experiments on and with SCP-XXXX must be approved by both Dr. Caprice and SCP-XXXX itself. Exploratory surgery is preemptively denied. All experiments on and with SCP-XXXX must be supervised by Dr. Caprice, to ensure that the proposed testing protocol is being followed.
Note from Dr. Caprice: "We don't always get second chances with these things. The last guy fucked it up, and went ahead covering up his mistakes. I made sure those mistakes are archived, anyone questioning SCP-XXXX's current containment procedures should take a look at them, and understand that they failed. Let's try not to repeat that. We know full well that we won't get a third chance."
Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid, artificial entity. It is genderless, and lacks many external human traits, such as the navel, nipple, areola, and genitalia. Its skin places a 6 on the Fitzpatrick Phototyping Scale (type I, very light), and it consistently maintains at average 5 cm long white-blond hair, despite lack of any care to such an effect. Its eyes are uniformly grey save for its pupils, its iris believed to extend to at least a full hemisphere around its eyes, and its face resembles that of a male of approximately 21 years of age. Its voice reflects this attribute.
Anomalous Properties
SCP-XXXX has the ability to anomalously transport themselves instantaneously. It is unknown how it achieves this. Such a process seems to require little energy, comparable with walking, and appears to be accessed in a similar way. Without much thought or effort, it is able to transport within a 3-meter radius around itself in any direction, though has proven to be able to transport at least 21 meters at a time with concentration. The period SCP-XXXX requires between each transport before it can perform another seems to vary, but is generally less than two seconds.
SCP-XXXX teleports by “swapping”. That is, the location of its atoms are replaced with the location of the atoms occupying the space it requires for its destination, and vise-versa. The process is not perfect—it is believed that SCP-XXXX once had fingerprints, but the mild scrambling of its teleportation has long since erased them.
SCP-XXXX’s teleportation is not all-encompassing; it cannot teleport with items or anything not in direct contact with its ectodermis. It is also not capable of teleporting gas; air displaced by its teleportation will fill its lungs, rather than the air already in its lungs prior to teleportation. This also means it is incapable of teleporting into solid or liquid material—anything it teleports into will replace the air in its lungs.
SCP-XXXX appears to be able to 'sense' whether space around it is composed of solid matter or not. It is able to differentiate between hollow objects and solid ones, without making contact. Furthermore, it is either incapable or unwilling to teleport into a solid object. This is considered convenient to the Foundation, as if it could it would be lost rather quickly.
It appears that there is no real limit to SCP-XXXX's range. The limit arises from SCP-XXXX's range to be able to sense which moves will be safe for it. Distance seems to be the only limiting factor; composition, complexity, thickness, or number of objects placed in front of SCP-XXXX does not affect its range.
Anatomy
SCP-XXXX’s anatomy is markedly human, with the exception of the lack of organs and structures related to those attributes it is missing. Most drastically, it lacks a bladder, instead routing completely unusable liquid waste into the bowel. The place where the bladder would be is compensated by with a slightly enlarged kidney (by approximately 13% of that of a comparable, non-anomalous human), and a larger stomach and intestinal tract. The heart is still present, albeit smaller and apparently atrophied. The excess space left by the heart is replaced with a small third lung, which rests behind the left lung.
The vascular system of SCP-XXXX is rather different from that of a standard human's. Not only is the heart seemingly vestigial and atrophied, the object wholly lacks blood. Invasive exploratory surgery has not been approved, though it is hypothesized that it utilizes a "solid state" version of the standard cardiovascular system which would save it a remarkable amount of energy and fluid. Because of its lack of blood, however, physical incapacitation methods such as lacerations or firearms tend to be largely ineffective, even if they manage to connect.
Comparably, SCP-XXXX's digestive system is also deviated significantly from human anatomy, though less so than the cardiovascular system. Rather than hydrochloric acid, SCP-XXXX's stomach produces nitric acid. The compounds required to create such a volatile compound are theorized to be provided with not only the water saved due to its unique vascular system, but also to its third lung, which is believed to be responsible for extracting nitrogen specifically for this process. This makes SCP-XXXX capable of ingesting almost anything, along with that its throat is lined with an as of yet unidentified, yet highly damage-resistant and dubiously organic material. As previously stated, its intestines are enlarged, making it equally efficient; waste rarely needs to be expelled.
Other anatomical differences to humans are either naturally possible or achievable through modification. These include:
- Above average muscle mass (87th percentile among males)
- Teeth formed from material resembling nacre; appear to be self-repairing, though takes an extended period
- Lack of nerve endings in the nose
- Complete lack of facial and body hair, the reason head hair remains is unknown
- Fingernails do not grow, but do heal, and are of a material like that forming the teeth
- Lack of toenails
- Lack of fingerprints
- Lack of scar tissue; all wounds observed have fully healed, regardless of severity
- Bones in hands and feet, as well as skull, are made up of a substance resembling that making up fingernails and teeth
- Higher than average reaction time, though well within nonanomalous human levels
Psychology
SCP-XXXX seems to struggle with dissociative identity issues. It responds to names such as "Subject", "Seb", "Null", "Tom", "SCP-XXXX", "Skip", "XXXX", [REDACTED] (Marshall, Carter & Dark designation), and [REDACTED], among others.
SCP-XXXX does not appear to be inherently aggressive, despite having been trained in many forms of combat. However, it responds aggressively to mistreatment and neglect, and is not adverse to harming others if it deems necessary.
History
SCP-XXXX has escaped from Foundation custody on █ individual occasions. It has exited the custody of █ other organizations on ██ separate occasions, 83% of which were escapes. SCP-XXXX's containment procedures have had to be revised █ times due to this.
The first report of SCP-XXXX was in 198█, on the outskirts of [REDACTED], PA. At that time, it was acquired by Marshall, Carter & Dark. SCP-XXXX did not come to the Foundation’s attention until 3 escapes later, on ██/██/198█, when it was reported in [REDACTED] counties in CO and [REDACTED] counties in UT on the same day. It was first taken into Foundation custody on ██/██/198█, after contact was lost with the entirety of MTF Gamma-5. MTF Delta-74 was then deployed, was able to sedate it using aerosolized anesthetics, and the object was subsequently taken to site-██, where an appropriate containment chamber was arranged based on the observations of Δ-74. Contact with Γ-5 was re-established less than an hour after SCP-XXXX was contained, and an interview with SCP-XXXX was conducted shortly after. A transcript of the interview is included below.
Interview Log
Conducted on ██/██/198█ ██:██
Interviewer: Dr. C██████
Interviewee: Temporary Object Designation ███
Forward: Interview was conducted when contact with Γ-5 was unexpectedly re-established. It was planned 1 hour later than conducted. Containment chamber was created so that the walls were 4 meters thick, and the room was 4 meters cube, with a window to the observation chamber where Dr. Caprice conducted the interview from. In the room was the bed TOD-███ was on, and the equipment necessary for keeping it sedated. The interview was conducted over speaker. When the interview began, TOD-███ was revived from its anaesthetics.
Begin Log
[TOD-███ revived]
TOD-███: Ugh… where am I?
Dr. Caprice: You are in Foundation custody.
[TOD-███ sits up and looks around, removes equipment on its body that had it sedated, and looks through the window with a slight nod]
TOD-███: Smart. I've heard of you guys. Surprised it's taken you this long to catch on. I'll bite though. Wha'd'ya want?
Dr. Caprice: At the moment, merely information. Do you have a name you would like to be called?
TOD-███: Nah. What’re you callin' me now?
Dr. Caprice: I’m sorry?
[TOD-███ waves a hand in a vague gesture while propping itself up to sit on the side of the bed]
TOD-███: My… my designation. Or whatever you guys use to name your… objects.
Dr. Caprice: Ah. At the moment, it is "Temporary Object Designation ███".
[TOD-███ pauses for 6 seconds, mumbling]
TOD-███: If you need to call me something, call me Tod for now.
Dr. Caprice: Alright, Tod. The first team you came across was Mobile Task Force Gamma-5. We just received a transmission from them reporting no casualties, though we believed them to be K-I-A. Why did you take out an entire team without killing anyone?
TOD-███: They seemed like nice guys. Weren't trying to kill me, an' I haven’t got anything against your… "Foundation" just yet. Just didn't seem necessary.
Dr. Caprice: Alright. We'd like to know about your… origins, if you're willing.
[TOD-███ pauses for 12 seconds]
Dr. Caprice: Tod?
TOD-███: Nah. I'd rather not.
Dr. Caprice: Very well. You mentioned at the beginning of this interview that you have heard of the SCP Foundation previously. Where did you get this information?
TOD-███: That what this is? An interview? I heard of you from the last three labs I broke out of.
Dr. Caprice: Would you be willing to provide us the names of those labs?
TOD-███: I don't owe 'em anything. The first was named Marshall, the second was named Carter and the third was Dark.
[Dr. Caprice remains silent for 8 seconds]
TOD-███: I must say…
[TOD-███ gestures around its room]
TOD-███: You're more accommodating than they gave you credit for.
Dr. Caprice: Is… is there anything we can do to… keep you with us?
TOD-███: See, first of all, I'm not tellin' you my weaknesses. 'Specially since you already know one of 'em.
Dr. Caprice: I understand.
TOD-███: But I don't like feelin' trapped. I don't ask for much. Gimmie an apartment 'r somethin', an' I'll be happy.
Dr. Caprice: You must know we can't do that.
TOD-███: Not in the city. Just a normal fuckin' room. Somethin' that doesn't feel like a prison cell.
Dr. Caprice: …that might be able to be arranged. We might still need to make the walls thicker, but we could try to keep it from feeling like that.
TOD-███: Now that’s surprising.
Dr. Caprice: What?
TOD-███: Aren't you guys supposed to be heartless 'r something?
Dr. Caprice: We want to learn. We know that very little's going to happen if you're uncooperative. And if we want you to be cooperative, we need to be cooperative ourselves.
TOD-███: Hm. At least get me out of this box first.
Dr. Caprice: I'm sure we can do that. One last thing. What type of sustenance do you need?
TOD-███: Food? I dunno, normal human fair, I guess.
Dr. Caprice: Thank you for your cooperation. We'll do our best to reciprocate.
End Log
Following this, SCP-XXXX was moved to a modified humanoid containment chamber and slated for review. On ██/██/198█, it was given the designation SCP-XXXX. Documentation was initiated the following day. The special containment procedures detailing the modified containment chamber were erased following the enactment of the archived procedures.
According to SCP-XXXX, the breach that prompted this change was caused by Dr. O██ (the project director at the time) distrusting SCP-XXXX to the extent that it felt inclined to escape. Dr. O██ was reassigned, Dr. Caprice instated as the current director, and by her recommendation following voluntary temporary containment on the part of SCP-XXXX, current containment procedures are focused on preventing such an urge from occurring again.
