Item #: SCP-5245
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5245 is to be kept in a vacuum sealed container at all times, at Site-███1. The vacuum seal may only be broken in one of two scenarios. If the surrounding temperature beyond the confines of the container reaches an anomalous low beyond -18℃, the breaking of the vacuum seal, and use of SCP-5245 is permitted to minimize risk to foundation personnel. If both the Head Researcher in charge of SCP-5245 and a member of the Ethics Council permit experimentation with SCP-5245 once again, the seal may be broken only during experimentation.
Nearly all instances of SCP-5245-1 have been declared neutralized. SCP-5245-1-H is the only remaining instance of SCP-5245-1, and is currently the Supervisor for SCP-5245 as a whole. SCP-5425-1-H is contained only by the fact that she2 has no visible anomalous properties. Should SCP-5425-1-H ask to leave the foundation, she is permitted to do so, and will be treated as any retired researcher, however is to be kept under surveillance until death. When SCP-5245-1-H is declared deceased, her body is to be kept in cold storage.
SCP-5245-2 is to remain upon a farm that primarily cultivates Hordeum Vulgare3. 100km north of ███ ██████, Russia. Three members of foundation staff are required to stay on site with SCP-5245-2 as well as it’s offspring. SCP 5245-2 is not permitted to leave the site. No equipment is permitted upon the farm that is more modern than anything created before the 17th century CE. This is at SCP 5245-2’s request, saying that such devices irritate it. The exception to this rule is a singular personal radio and a modern syringe with explicit use for taking blood. SCP-5245-2 is permitted to write letters to members of foundation staff that have worked on the project in the past, as well as other senior advisors to the ethics council.
SCP-5245-3 is to remain contained within a humanoid containment cell at Site-266. It is to be fed three meals a day. All meals must omit meat and synthetic meat, due to SCP-5245-3’s inability to digest meat. The walls are to be severely padded, due to the irritable behavior of SCP 5245-3. It is to be given a copy of the previous day’s issue of the New York Post every morning, as this has been shown to reduce irritability in the subject. Once a month a "movie night" is to occur, where SCP-5245-3 is permitted to choose a single movie to watch and a single one or more researchers may accompany it. SCP-5245-3 is not permitted the means to make coffee, but is to be provided one cup of warm coffee every morning to reduce irritability. SCP-5245-3 is permitted to write letters to SCP-5245-2, and any current staff or previous staff that have contained SCP-5245-3. SCP-5245-3 is to be visited by a site therapist that focuses on anger management twice a week. SCP-5245-3's offspring is to be kept on site with SCP-5245-3, however they are to be kept in a separate room. SCP-5245-3 requires normalcy or it will become aggressive, or in extreme cases will become violent. All changes to SCP-5245-3's schedule must be made a week in advance, and must notify SCP-5245-3 of the changes.
SCP-5245-4 [Data Expunged]4
SCP-5245-5 is currently uncontained. MTF squad Omicron-46 Gamma-12 Upsilon 995 is to contain SCP-5245-5 by utilizing Class A amnestics administered through injection. The effects of such amnestics are temporary, however, it is hypothesized that SCP-5245-5 will be pacified for the time these amnestics are in effect. Should this fail, MTF squads are to retreat, and attempt to survey SCP-5245-5 until researchers create a new hypothesis. All MTF units not assigned to SCP-5245-5 that encounter SCP-5245-5 are to disarm immediately, and without firing upon SCP-5245-5. This is the only method that has been proven to consistently end in survival.
Description: SCP-5245 is an unbranded dual use refrigeration and freezing unit. It has an exterior consisting of stainless steel and polypropylene plastic. On the front of the door to the refrigeration unit there is a solid blue button. Below the button is an engraving that reads “A nativitate usque ad mortem” This roughly translates to “From death to birth”. The internal structure of SCP-5245 is not dissimilar to any average dual use refrigeration and freezing unit. The exception to this is a small box of an unknown material. This box bears similarities to Damascus steel, however no sample has been able to be taken to do research due to the extreme durability of the material. This box lies in the top left corner of the refrigeration unit.
SCP-5245 will slowly lower the temperature of a surrounding area of 10m x 10m x 10m. The temperature of this area has gotten to be as low as -100℃, before the vacuum seal was broken and SCP-5245 was activated once again. The only way that the foundation has been able to increase the temperature of this area is by activating SCP-5245.
To activate SCP-5245, one must place one or more deceased biotic life forms6 in the refrigeration unit. Once the refrigeration unit is closed the Blue button on the front becomes more vibrant and gives off a small amount of light. When the button is pressed, it shifts in coloration from blue to purple to red. This process has shown to take longer when provided with more material. The longest time recorded was thirty-seven minutes and twelve seconds.
Once the button has changed in coloration and the light has dulled, the freezing unit can be opened. Within the freezing unit will be a now living creature with a near identical genetic structure to the original subject with few genetic alterations and mutations from the original. These instances are referred to as SCP-5245-1. Instances of SCP-5245-1 tend to be more resilient to harm than the original species, however this property is not consistent. See ItemTable-5245-A below for a complete list of all instances of SCP-5245-1
SCP-5245 was recovered by foundation personnel after a violent altercation with Chaos Insurgency off the coast of Amalfi, Italy on October 7th, 1963 along with several Items of Latin origin. The Chaos Insurgency has shown a vested interest in this item, however the exact reason is unknown. It is assumed that more instances of SCP-5245-1 exist, and have existed long before the foundation came into custody of SCP-5245.
Should more than one type of biotic life be placed within SCP-5245, a hybrid animal will be created. This can be seen with SCP-5245-2, SCP-5245-3, and SCP-5245-5.
SCP-5245-2 is a middle aged Caucasian male with a pair of avian wings. It was unintentionally created during an experiment that is logged as ExperimentLog-5245-4. It has an internal biology that allows for prolonged flight. SCP-5245-2 has an abnormal look, due to hollow bones, and low body fat, but still looks humanoid in nature. SCP-5245-2 is able to reproduce with Homo Sapiens, as is seen with its children with Dr. Allison Hark of the Field Researcher division7. SCP-5245-2 has shown an interest in ethics and moral philosophy, and grasps such concepts very easily. SCP-5245-2's intelligence and adaptability has been noted as above average, though not anomalously so.
It should be noted that neither of SCP-5245-2's two children bare any physical anomalies.
SCP-5245-3 is a middle aged caprine8 humanoid entity, that has enhanced strength, durability, and agility. Due to its hooved feet, SCP-5245-3 is able to scale rocky terrain exceedingly quickly. SCP-5245-3 is to be treated with caution due to its innate aggressiveness. We are unsure why SCP-5245-3 is so aggressive, however we do believe that it has to do with biology, and not malice. SCP-5245-3 enjoys a variety of topics and things, including but not limited to, the economy, baseball9, the city of New York, traditional American values, monster movies, and its child.
Similarly to SCP-5245-2, SCP-5245-3 is able to reproduce with Homo Sapiens, as was discovered when Researcher ███████10 was discovered to be pregnant with SCP-5245-3's child. unlike SCP-5245-2's children. SCP-5245-3's child does bare an anomaly. This anomaly is a small set of horns resembling that of a Ram's. SCP-5245-3 is very protective of its child and will become violent should harm come to it.
SCP-5245-5 is a porcine humanoid entity. It has anomalously increased strength, agility, and speed. SCP-5245-5 has shown to be incredibly violent towards those who are keeping it contained. When in foundation custody, SCP-5245-5 has stated that it has severe claustrophobia. Since SCP-5245-5 has been able to speak, it has described voices that speak to it. The voices have supposedly been guiding SCP-5245-5, in an attempt to keep SCP-5245-5 safe. SCP-5245-5 says that these voices are united in their desire to have a bright future, but disagree on what that looks like. Evidence from the bodies left in SCP-5245-5's wake shows that it has learned how to utilize several forms of weaponry, the most common of which is a falchion of undetermined origins.
Addendum-5245-A: Although the origin of SCP-5245 is currently unknown. An engraving depicting two baskets and a singular smaller box resembling the box within SCP-5245 was found within an archaeological site in Split, Italy as of November 21st, 1974. Several tablets were also found describing a cube that defies “Pluto”, and how it worked. It is unclear if SCP-5245 is a recreation of this artifact, or is the original item described. Experiments utilizing SCP-5245 are now permitted.
