Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be held in a non-metallic chamber at least 2.5 m^3 in size lined with ceramic insulation that is to be inspected weekly for damage that could lead to a compromise in site safety. All entrances to the chamber need to be lined with permanent magnets in order to trap stray metallic particles that may enter the room. Any electronic systems must be kept at least 2 km away if they are to remain functional; any automated system within this radius must be fully mechanical and/or analog, including surveillance. All personnel entering SCP-XXXX’s containment chamber are to wear lead-lined clothing and visors with a lens shade number of at least 13.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a complete human cerebrospinal system that, despite a lack of supporting tissues and organs, remains alive and fully aware of itself and surroundings. It utilizing unknown methods to emulate sight and hearing. SCP-XXXX also exhibits a high level of control over nearby (0.5 m) matter, usually doing so in order to protect the cerebrospinal “base” of itself. SCP-XXXX constantly surrounds itself with a field of plasma that acts as a makeshift body. By manipulating the plasma’s magnetic fields, it can simulate actions similar to normal human behavior and can safely interact with most objects, including living organisms. It’s only source of energy seems to be from breaking down matter into plasma and somehow utilizing the emitted radiation to fuel itself.

SCP-XXXX’s self-preservation mechanisms vary depending on the threat. For example, a bullet being shot towards the brain of SCP-XXXX will, upon entering the 0.5 m radius around it, be vaporized and added to the mass of SCP-XXXX’s plasma body. Most so called “kinetic threats” are dealt with as such. If for some reason the kinetic threat cannot be vaporized (for instance, if the threat was another SCP) it would simply be repelled by a magnetic field that increases in intensity exponentially as a function of distance from SCP-XXXX. These responses appear to involuntary, however it can control them if it wishes,

Addendum 1:

SCP-XXXX has, since being first contained, become capable of various actions beyond what it originally seemed able to do. This addendum is a chronological list of SCP-XXXX's growth.

Day 1: SCP-XXXX would repeatedly surround personnel with a field of low-temperature plasma.

Day 9: SCP-XXXX began to mimic the actions of personnel, including attempting to throw a small sphere made of its own plasma after a researcher threw a ball at it.

Day 17: SCP-XXXX utilized the electrical arcs created within its plasma field to mimic sounds it heard. Examples include objects falling, footsteps and the air conditioning system outside of its containment chamber.

Day 18: SCP-XXXX parroted the speech of a researcher that had entered its chamber. It also attempted to shape its plasma field into a roughly humanoid shape, which differed from its typical elliptical shape. It maintained this form until the researcher left the room.

Day 32: SCP-XXXX began to refer to objects by what others called them. A few examples include "walls", "person", "self" and "ball".

Day 46: SCP-XXXX was assigned a "tutor" and began to learn about shapes and sounds.

Day 53: SCP-XXXX successfully identified a series of various objects made up of other objects.

Day 60: SCP-XXXX memorized a sentence: "I have a block." It repeated this sentence for several hours and held the block it was given for the whole time.

Day 67: SCP-XXXX learned numbers up to 100 and began counting objects. It was exposed to its first set of written words and quickly learned them. It understood syntax to a degree higher than expected.

Day 69: SCP-XXXX was allowed to play with its blocks without personnel in the room. It occasionally made its own blocks out of plasma.

Day 70: SCP-XXXX used the blocks (including the plasma ones) to spell various words without being asked.

Day 71: SCP-XXXX was given a book and asked to read it out loud. It did so, then turned the book into plasma
and integrated it into its plasma field. When asked why it did so, SCP-XXXX replied "I didn't like the book."

Day 74: SCP-XXXX was given various books ranging from basic story books to advanced math textbooks.

Day 81: SCP-XXXX requested it be left alone for the next week.

Day 88. SCP-XXXX had torn up a few of the books it was given and used the paper fragments to write a short story about its blocks and how much it enjoyed them.
