Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX instances are to be held within a a large standard aquatic containment unit, modified with an interior coating of lead, which is to be anchored in the Mariana trench. The exterior walls should be constructed from concrete, and the interior lined with no less than 75cm of lead on all walls. The integrity of these walls should be checked on a monthly basis. A filtration system will cycle the water inside of the cell, with no less than five filters to prevent release of larval SCP-XXXX instances. Additionally, MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") are to be dispatched on a bi-weekly basis to monitor sealife in the surrounding 3km area for signs of SCP-XXXX infection. In the event of SCP-XXXX or SCP-XXXX-A being observed outside of the cell, a containment breach is assumed to have occurred, and procedure 76-Gamma should be enacted.
SCP-XXXX-A-1 is to be held within a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-19, and is to be fed 1kg of raw fish on a daily basis.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation given to a hitherto unknown species of parasitic sea worm. Instances typically measure between 12cm and 15cm in length, although specimens of up to 74cm have been observed. Instances anchor themselves to rock using thousands of microscopic hooks, located on the underside. Typically residing at 5000m to 10,000m depth in the ocean, SCP-XXXX instances are unable to see, and the purpose (if any) of their eyes is unknown. The tendrils on its head are coated with an unknown acid that is able to dissolve most metal and rock, although lead seems particularly resistant to this.

SCP-XXXX uses bioluminescence to attract prey towards it. Once prey is within range, the hooks release, and the instance launches itself towards the prey, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-A. Once SCP-XXXX makes contact with SCP-XXXX-A, it uses its hooks to latch itself on to the back of SCP-XXXX-A. Over a period of five to 12 hours, the hooks will extend and penetrate SCP-XXXX-A's nervous system. Other than an initial disorientation caused by the shift in center of gravity the introduction of SCP-XXXX causes, SCP-XXXX-A shows no signs of stress during this process. Upon completion of this process, SCP-XXXX gains complete control over SCP-XXXX-A, and there is no known method of removing SCP-XXXX from SCP-XXXX-A without the death of both organisms. SCP-XXXX will then begin to rapidly 'melt' into SCP-XXXX-A, leaving no trace except a slight yellow glow, and the tendrils from its head extending from SCP-XXXX-A's mouth. At this point, SCP-XXXX-A will begin rapidly ascending, while its internal organs are liquefied and replaced by an egg sac. How SCP-XXXX-A is still able to survive and swim during this is unknown. Once the egg sac is ready, the tendrils protruding from the mouth anchor into the flesh, and tear SCP-XXXX-A open entirely, upon which the egg sac will explode, releasing between 50 and 1000 larval instances of SCP-XXXX.

Larval SCP-XXXX instances will anchor themselves to rock using their fast-developing hooks. Over a period of 3 weeks, the instance will grow, until shedding its outer skin and releasing a juvenile instance of SCP-XXXX, which will crawl downwards, taking 2 months to reach adulthood.

Addendum 1: Procedure 76-Gamma
The filtration system to the cell must be disabled to protect the specimens inside, and the mouth of the trench completely sealed. Enzyme 26-B should be pumped in until sensors indicate that concentration is at 3ppm. This amount has been proven to be fatal to 99.8% of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-A instances if maintained for 2 weeks. Once this time has passed, the mouth should be unsealed, and the filtration system re-enabled once concentration is below 0.05ppm.

Test A

Subject: Anglerfish

Procedure: Anglerfish introduced to testing chamber containing SCP-XXXX instance

Results: Instance attacked the anglerfish as normal and performed the usual process. SCP-XXXX-A showed noticeable distress at the small size of the testing chamber, repeatedly bumping into the ceiling as it attempted to move upwards. Appendage began to glow yellow instead of its original white.

Test B

Subject: D-29876, 50cm instance of SCP-XXXX

Procedure: D-29876 introduced to testing chamber containing SCP-XXXX instance, with customized scuba gear that left his back exposed, and a radio system to communicate with researchers.

Results: Instance quickly latched on to D-29876, displaying initial confusion at the material of the dive suit. Instance then proceeded to crawl around D-29876 for 2 minutes and 37 seconds, an experience described over the radio as "like tiny stings all over". After this, instance paused on D-29876's upper back, and used its hooks to tear open the material of the suit, after which it attached itself as normal. D-29876, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-A-1, unusually showed considerable stress during
SCP-XXXX-A-1 appears able to survive in both water and on land, and so has been moved to an onshore containment facility for testing.
Additional notes: Introducing SCP-XXXX to human hosts seems to produce some interesting results. Requesting permission to experiment further with this. - Dr Cort, Lead Researcher

Chetan

Item #: SCP-CHET

Object Class: Parmar

Special Chetan Procedures: SCP-CHET is to be in bed by 2030 hours. If this requirement is not met, SCP-CHET-1 must be introduced to the containment chamber to shout 'THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HOMEWORK'

Description: SCP-CHET is a humanoid resembling a 14 year old boy from ██████████, England. It appears normal outwardly, other than frequent bouts of rolling on the floor. However, if not in bed by 20:30 GMT, it will begin an SCP-CHET-∆ event. During an SCP-CHET-∆ event, SCP-CHET will begin to alternately do something which isn't homework, or roll around on the floor. The only known method of mitigating the effects of an SCP-CHET-∆ event is the introduction of SCP-CHET-1 (The subject's sister) shouting 'THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HOMEWORK!'. Upon hearing this, SCP-CHET will become docile, uttering the phrase 'Sorry guys, gotta go' before becoming entirely unresponsive and going to bed.

The Brick Factory

SCP-XXXX-A

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Keter

Special Containment Procedures: MTF-Gamma-20 ("Bricklayers") are to monitor quarries within a 500 KM radius of SCP-XXXX-A for SCP-XXXX. If SCP-XXXX-1 is identified, audio should be played across the quarry with an inverse frequency to that of SCP-XXXX-1. Due to the extreme difficulty involved in preventing spread, suspicious disappearances should be monitored worldwide to track global spread of SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon affecting clay quarries, spreading between them by unknown means. All sedimentary rock can be used as a vector, but only clay is affected by SCP-XXXX. An estimated 29% of clay worldwide is estimated to be affected by SCP-XXXX. The ████ clay quarry is believed to be where SCP-XXXX originated, as affected quarries center around it. It is referred to as SCP-XXXX-A.

Clay affected by SCP-XXXX (dubbed SCP-XXXX-1) demonstrates no unusual properties, other than a slight increase in heat retention capabilities. When SCP-XXXX-1 is resonated at 21██Hz it permanently becomes 'active'. This means its component molecules resonate at a matching frequency. SCP-XXXX-1 can be made inactive by playing the inverse frequency. Buildings with a surface area of at least 150m² constructed from SCP-XXXX-1 (or bricks produced using it) are referred to as SCP-XXXX-2. In roughly 34% of humans, the sound produced by the cumulative resonance of SCP-XXXX-2 induces a dangerous memetic effect. Because the source is audible sound, effects can be negated with strong ear protection. The process of a human individual entering SCP-XXXX-2 is as follows:

• After a period between 30 seconds and 2 minutes the individual (hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-3) will be suddenly paralyzed
• Immediately after this paralysis begins, SCP-XXXX-3's body will begin to be converted into SCP-XXXX-1, beginning at the feet
• Roughly 1Kg of mass will be converted per minute, meaning the process takes roughly 80 minutes to complete for an average adult male.

During the process, SCP-XXXX-3 remains conscious and aware (evidenced by contraction of pupils in response to light). At any point, removal from SCP-XXXX-2 will halt the process and paralysis, although it is currently irreversible.

The widespread effects of SCP-XXXX presents a major danger to human populations, as there is no easy way of tracking the spread. For this reason, containment must be a top priority.

History: SCP-XXXX initially referred to a two story suburban residence on the outskirts of ████████. It came to the Foundation's attention on █/█/2008 because of a suspicious missing persons report, identified as the previous occupants, a family of five. Three agents were partially converted before the resonance was identified and proper ear protection provided. Large amounts of clay were found scattered across the floor, believed to be the remains of the previous occupants. Why the effects began after 12 years of normal occupancy is unknown.
As instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are widespread, original containment procedures are recorded here for posterity.

Original Containment Procedures:

SCP-XXXX

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to have a notice of condemnation placed on the door, as well as being cordoned off with police tape. This should be replaced no less often than once per month, to combat degradation.

Two Foundation guards should be located nearby, disguised as law enforcement officers. They should be equipped with ear protection. Any humans attempting to gain entry should be warned away by informing them that the structure is unstable. In the event that an individual enters SCP-XXXX and is not affected, they should be quickly escorted outside, and administered Class-A amnestics.
However, in the event that they become an instance of SCP-XXXX-1, they must be moved to Site-██ for study.

After multiple reports of similar effects, the bricks used in the buildings were traced back to the ███████ brick plant, which sources its clay from SCP-XXXX-A.

Addendum XXXX-A: An unknown group or individual (designated PoI-5482) has been playing sounds with frequencies of 21██Hz periodically near population centers since 2008, with occurrences rising from at most 4 times a year to multiple times a month. To date, only one witness to this has been located, a neighbor of the original missing family.

Interviewed: ██████ █████████

Interviewer: Dr. Teel

Foreword: █████████ filed an report on █/█/2008 of a 'clay man' near to the house.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Teel: Where were you at 2100 hours?

█████████: Well, uh, I was just out walking my dog around the block.

Dr. Teel: Is this when you saw PoI-5482?
█████████: What, you mean the weird clay guy? Yeah, that's when it happened.

Dr. Teel: Explain the details of your encounter.
█████████: Well, I just turned the corner, and there he was; this guy squatting in an alleyway with a laptop. I stepped a bit closer, and that's when I saw it.
Dr. Teel: Saw what?
█████████: He was made of clay! His whole face was this orangey-brown color, and was covered in these little cracks. Suddenly, he smiled, and I could hear this high-pitched noise coming from his laptop. He waited for a few seconds and turned it off.
Dr. Teel: Did he see you?
█████████: No, I don't think so. He just turned and walked away into the darkness. I didn't want to follow him down there.
Dr. Teel: I see. Well, this concludes our interview.
█████████: Hey, what is this place anyway? No one at the station believed me.
<End Log>

Closing Statement: █████████ was administered Class-A amnestics and returned to his home. Both his and the missing persons report were expunged from police records.

Traces of SCP-XXXX-1 were found near every instance of an active SCP-XXXX-2, corroborating █████████'s statement. Locating PoI-5482 is to be a top priority.
