item: SCP-XXXX

Example of Vanessa virginiensis. The species that SCP-XXXX wings most resemble

object class: Euclid

special containment procedures:

SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 10x10x10 meter containment cell at site-41. Under no circumstances should the containment cell have any amendments with the exception of a straw and Cotten bedding in in the north-eastern corner of the cell. A single reinforced steel door at least 2 feet thick located on the southern wall. Four cameras are to be placed in the cell upper corners, the camera are to be set back into the wall with a protective glass overlay as to avoid XXXX using them as weapons. The door should have both a electric and manual release mechanisms as to keep XXXX it’s cell. The SCP should be chained with a 10 centimetres thick steel chain to the middle of the cell floor, the chain will be attached to XXXX’s right leg. The chain will be attached to a ankle bracelet, this bracelet should be fitted with the capability to a administer sedatives and a electric shock to help control the SCP.

XXXX should be kept to a strict diet of Vanessa virginiensis also commonly know as the American painted lady. At least 10 Vanessa virginiensis should be given to XXXX per day. Twice per day 5 litres of water that is 5% sodium. During feeding and water replenishment XXXX is to be sedated, this task is to be carried out by D-class with at least two armed guards outside of the cell.

During a ‘light up’ event no personnel are allow to enter SCP-XXXX cell for at least 1 hour. Failing to wait the full hour can lead to the personnel become blind for between 3-48 hours. If any personnel are caught doing will have immediate disciplinary action taken against them.

No personnel are to be aloud to be in the cell when XXXX is not under sedation due to its feral nature. When under sedation at least five armed personnel are to be present at all time. Armed personnel should be armed with small fire arms with tranquilliser rounds, personnel are also to be armed with a mild taser. SCP-XXXX’s control bracelet should be fitted at all time including being removed from cell, the bracelet should be paired to a remote activation device for SCP control. The bracelet built in voice activation system is to be armed and on standby, for the passphrase “flutter protocol”.

Once a week XXXX should be removed from its cell under sedation to the sites infirmary for medical testing and evaluation. When this occurs the following test must take place:

1. anti-bacterial injection
2. Blood pressure test
3. Heart rate test
4. Full body wash, use of only natural spring water
5. Wounds to be checked and cleaned
6. Wings should be clipped as to reduce flight capability
7. dentistry check up followed by full oral cleaning and K-9s are to be cut
8. CAT should be used to evaluate damaged brain tissue
9. X-ray to check for bone structural integrity
10. Nails should be cut down as to reduce risk of injuries to staff
11. Weight and height should be checked and logged

All of these test should be logged into SCP-XXXX medical records.

Description:

SCP-XXXX is humanoid entity resembling a female homo sapiens (Human), but unlike homo sapiens no external organs on the chest and waist are present. The entity is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms. XXXX has a lack of body hair with the exception of its head, in which the hair is jet black. SCP eyes are different to that typical of homo sapiens but instead are completely covered in a organic membrane with a rose gold colouring. Subject’s skins has no natural colour but instead is capable of reflecting all nearby light sources but through an opec surface. It is unknown how XXXX’s skin is able to do this further testing is waiting approval.

SCP-XXXX most striking feature is it’s pair of butterfly wings protruding form the subject’s spine. The wings are made of the same material as regular butterflies that being incest chitin. Due to XXXX’s flight capability it’s wings are to be clipped to reduce its flight capability. As a result of XXXX’s minor regenerative ability the wings are to be clipped weekly. Even though XXXX has shown the ability of self healing it seems that is is only possible to do to repair its wings and not it’s many wounds. It is unknown if this is due to en evolutionary default, reluctance or the fact it is no long able to is up for debate. Further test and observation are needed for a more conclusive result.

Addendum:

During observations of SCP-XXXX a previously unknown anonymous property was discovered by complete accident. See incident 35B below:

incident 35B - ██/██/2013 - 10:51 pm
One hour after XXXX usually falls asleep, medical staff were called to XXXX after security watching the SCP became aware that it had woken up and began convulsing in the floor. By the time medical staff had reached the cell XXXX had been convulsing for three minutes, before the main door was opened XXXX has been sedated by it’s ankle bracelet. As the door to the cell, security told by the surveillance that XXXX had woken up. But before the door could be closed a large amount of was seen flooding out the now open door. This resulted in 3 medical staff and 6 security personnel to be moved to the onsite infirmary to be treated for their temporary blindness. Fortunately the cell door was able to be closed in time and all cameras turned off as not blind anymore staff. After one hour the light had dissipated, upon camera reactivation it was noted that SCP-XXXX was unconscious in the cell. The subject was brought to the infirmary for full medical examination, unfortunately after two hours of testing on cause for the event was identified. This event is now be officially referred as a ‘light up’ event¹.

1. Security Officer smith, “What the hell was that thing, we have had that creature in containment for years fucking years. Why of all of a sudden did it suddenly decide it wanted to become a one man July 4^th festival. Because of it i have men in the infirmary that are blind and it is unknown if they will recover. If any of the medical and research staff are reading this, get to the bottom of how in the world it became a human rave and how to stop it from happening again.
