SCP-XXXX: "The Door to the Pasture"

A group of SCP-XXXX-3 Instances

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 is to be kept in a zip lock bag in Locker 138 In Site ██. Every year, the Plastic bag SCP-XXXX-1 is kept in is to be incinerated and replaced with a new bag. Upon no circumstances is SCP-XXXX-1 to be exposed to humans unless two (2) level 3 Senior Scientists or higher authorize testing, or the Bag needs to be replaced. Locker is to be checked for damage every week. Tissue samples used for testing must be used after a 72 hour grace period for the anomalous effects to de-manifest. No matter what, SCP-XXXX-2 Is not to be opened during a month before, during or one month after spring, due to the fact that it is SCP-XXXX-3's mating season and their fur will be mostly worn off.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 Is two pieces of a yellow shattered key of indeterminate material. SCP-XXXX-1 will constantly emit a wave of radiation that constantly erodes any material except plastic or SCP-XXXX-2. Previous Owner of SCP-XXXX-1 was questioned and then given Class C Amnestics and released from Foundation custody, after medical care.

Scp-XXXX-2 Is a scratched and slightly damaged wooden door, dating around 1967, in the middle of ██████████, Toronto, Canada, In the garage of Samuel ███████. Site ██. Upon Scp-XXXX-2 being opened by anything besides SCP-XXXX-1, It will lead to it's intended location. However when Scp-XXXX-2 is opened by the shaft of SCP-XXXX-1, It will lead to a plain of grass, containing approximately two million or more Sheep. These Sheep are all referred to as SCP-XXXX-3. Subjects exiting through SCP-XXXX-2 after entering using SCP-XXXX-1 will return to the same side of the door they entered on.

SCP-XXXX-3 are harmless, Tissue samples of SCP-XXXX-3 viewed before the 72 hours of removal have passed are lethal and will cause Cardiac Arrest or Brain Death in the viewer. Exploration of SCP-XXXX-2 has shown that the Plain is likely infinite and, as such, the SCP-XXXX-3 Specimen are as well. Consumption of Scp-XXXX-3 Is pending approval. Request of Consuming Scp-XXXX-3 has been approved by O5 Command as long as it is consumed after 72 hours after harvesting.

Tissue samples of SCP-XXXX-3 (After 72 hours) have shown to be almost identical to normal sheep, with the difference being that it contains large amounts of ████████, and above average amounts of liquid. Slices eaten by D-5847 are described as "Normal Mutton, what, is this some kind of magic crap?"

GPS and Trackers have located SCP-XXXX-2's Destination to be in Central Ireland, in the town of [DATA REDACTED], However upon arrival by Mobile Task force squadrons found no evidence of Scp-XXXX-3 Specimen.

Addendum: Explorations into Scp-XXXX-2 Have been Held off until spring ends by order of O5 Command due to Death of approximately ███ Agents, caused by a containment breach, in which D-4896 Opened SCP-XXXX-2 during Spring, And released 4039+ of SCP-XXXX-3 into Site-██, which almost all instances had their fur falling off, with small scratch marks, which was enough to cause it's Anomalous effects. For more information on this breach, See Incident XXXX/04/24/14 in testing logs, under Test F

+ Please show authorization for files of exploration into SCP-XXXX-2.

TESTING LOG
Test A - 19:43, December 13th, 20██

Subject(s): D-3912

Procedure: D-3912 Was ordered to stab a SCP-XXXX-3 Instance and acquire a tissue sample for further testing.

Results: D-3912's Vitals signs abruptly stopped as the cut was made in SCP-XXXX-3, followed by the thumping of presumably SCP-XXXX-3 Instances.

Notes: Either this thing killed him as he stabbed it, or these things are fast. ~ Senior Researcher Michael

Test B - 01:00, December 15th, 20██

Subject(s): D-9382

Procedure: D-9382 was ordered to acquire a tissue sample of a SCP-XXXX-3 Instance while covering their eyes.

Results: D-9382 was heard lunging at a SCP-XXXX-3 Instance, 5 Seconds after, D-9382's Vitals ceased, most likely looking at the tissue sample

Notes: Maybe its some kind of "Look and you die" thing. Lets try not looking next time? ~ Senior Researcher Amanda

Test C - 04:38, December 19th, 20██

Subject: D-4472 and D-6842

Procedure: D-4472 was placed next to a SCP-XXXX-3 Instance and told to hold onto it's head while not opening their eyes. D-6842 was armed with a machete and positioned in front of aforementioned SCP-XXXX-3 Instance, and ordered to decapitate the instance while closing their eyes

Results: D-6842 decapitated the SCP-XXXX-3, separating the it's head from it's torso. D-4472 Was reassured to keep their eyes shut. D-6842 said that he was going to open his eyes, and his vital signs stop about 30 seconds later. D-4472 Is ordered to keep the head out of view and bring it back to Site-██. Head is being analyzed for further testing Head has been analyzed after the 72 Hours required for the anomalous effects to de-manifest

Notes: So these things are ONLY Special for 72 hours after they die. Interesting. ~Senior Researcher Michael

Test D - 07:32, December 29th, 20██

Subject: One ordinary, white sheep.

Procedure: A camera was attached to the sheep's head, and it was pushed into SCP-XXXX-2.

Results: Test has not concluded due to the continuous exploration of D-6823. D-6823 was confirmed expired during the 25th of March, 20██ following the clean up of Incident XXXX/04/24/14. Subject is was sustaining themselves on SCP-XXXX-3, this confirms that slices of SCP-XXXX-3 Meat has no anomalous effects if ingested without visual contact with it.

Notes: Okay, Its confirmed. You can eat the sheep. O5 are we good to eat this stuff? ~Senior Researcher Micheal
