SCP-5696

SCP-5696 in its initial containment cell at Block ██ on Site 19.

Item #: SCP-5696

Object Class: Euclid Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5696 should be contained in male D-class quarters 4B at Site 19. D-class quarters are to be regularly checked for humanoids using an infrared device to maintain a D-class population of 20 or higher. Failure to maintain a D-class population of 20 or higher will lead to a Type 1 Rage Scenario and containment breach. [See Incident Log 5696-A]
D-class living quarters should be modified to meet the following specifications:

1. Quarters should be modified to have only one entrance and one exit. These should be separated by no less than 5 meters. Additionally, the entrance and exit of the quarters should each be guarded by no less than 2 foundation personnel at all times. Personnel are to be strictly female and swapped out as well as amnesticized with a Class A amnestic every 5 days.
2. A playlist consisting of Celine Dion, The Village People, and the Bee Gees should be played at a volume of 70dB or higher on the site PA system throughout living quarters at all times. This playlist is the only certain way of calming SCP-5696 and failure to play the music in a span longer than 1 minute and 57 seconds will lead to Type 3 Rage Scenario and a containment breach. This playlist may only be modified by 05-██ with approval by the 05-Council.
3. All D-Class should be dressed in leather jumpsuits derived from Bos taurus (Cattle) to meet SCP-5696's standard and to prevent a Type 2 Rage Scenario which will cause containment breach. At no time should foundation personnel attempt to remove any part of of SCP-5696's clothing in order to prevent a Type 1 Rage Scenario and containment breach
4. All D-Class should be instructed to follow all commands from SCP-5696 with the exception of instructions that would be harmful to research staff or the work of the foundation. Failure to follow instruction from SCP-5696 will cause it to enter a Type 1 Rage Scenario and will lead to the death of the D-class and containment breach.
5. An industrial dehumidifier should be placed in the living quarters and should run at a low level continuously. Failure of this system will lead to a containment breach if not resolved in less than 4 hours

The all-female Containment Team Romeo-60 has been permanently re-assinged to SCP-5696. Immediately following containment breach, CT Romeo-60 should follow containment procedure Golf Alpha Yankee. Response time must be less than █ minutes. By no means should CT Romeo-60 attempt to damage SCP-5696 in any way.

Description: SCP-5696 is a humanoid at a stature of 5'5" and weighs approximately 200 pounds. Externally, SCP-5696 does not appear to be anomalous with the exception of enormous ivory teeth of which it has 3 rows. While upon first inspection it was thought that these teeth were surgically implanted however, they regularly fall out and are replaced, in a similar fashion to Carcharodon carcharias (Great White Shark.) The SCP has a bite strength of 8,000 newtons and is capable of crushing and consuming human bone tissue. SCP-5696 has incredible regenerative abilities and can slowly reform its shape even after being reduced to a patch of skin. It is believed that each time the central nervous system of SCP-5696 is destroyed, it comes back far more aggressive. For this reason, the destruction of SCP-5696's central nervous system should not be permitted at any time, in order to maintain validity of containment procedures.

SCP-5696 is dressed in an outfit which has been completely constructed of leather and aluminium. The entity is completely leather-bound with a gimp mask covering its face. It also has a gag in it mouth however through some anomalous means, the gag will disappear while the SCP is eating or speaking and will reappear after such action has been completed. A snippet of leather was removed from SCP-5696 (see Incident Log 5696-B) and was tested. Carbon dating revealed that the leather originated from the mid 9th century.

Internally, it has been observed that SCP-5696 has only basic humanoid body systems which consists of a nervous system, circulatory system and a digestive system. All nutrients, including oxygen are either digested via consumption or absorbed through the skin of SCP-5696, which measures 2 mm in thickness, nearly four times the typical amount. Upon closer inspection, the skin of SCP-5696 functions similarly to that of Lumbricidae (Earthworm.) As a byproduct of the absorption of oxygen and other gases through the skin, the surface of SCP-5696 is incredibly moist and is capable of raising the humidity of the room by 1% every hour. The moisture on the skin is chemically identical to the saliva from SCP-5696's mouth and measures at a pH level of approximately 1. The moisture maintained by the air, shares these acidic properties and has been known to dissolve the respiratory system of D-class if not properly removed.

SCP-5696 is typically docile so long as Containment Specifications are met however it is known to enter Enraged States which causes it to exhibit more dangerous anomalous effects. It should be noted that SCP-5696 is a Class III Reality Bender and is capable of temporarily changing the sexual preference of those around it within a radius of roughly 25 meters for a duration of anywhere between 15 minutes and █ years. It should be mentioned that this effect only applies to men. All women in a 25 meter radius will become "spectators" of the event, not moving or making any noise. All women who are spectors to the event will be physically unharmed, but will be left sterile and will lose all sex drive for a duration of 15 minutes to █ years. A unique effect is had on those who directly view SCP-5696, indicating that the SCP is a cognitohazard as well. This affects men and women differently, similar to the above anomaly. Men will seek out and begin to devour other men starting at the rectum and slowing making their way through the digestive system of the victim. The victim however both screams in agony and in pleasure and actively seeks this procedure. Only women with children under the age of 18 are affected by the cognitohazard. If this specification is met, the woman will seek out their child and begin to devour the child excluding bone, cardiac, and cerebral tissue. This effect has been designated as an "Alpha-SS event" and should be avoided at all costs. The effect on females can be mitigated using a chest-mounted Scranton Reality Anchor, which protects the user but has seemingly no effect on the SCP.

SCP-5696 was recovered in 199█ at a self-proclaimed "gay bar" in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to the owner of the bar, SCP-5696 was known as "Charlie" and frequented the establishment. The Foundation first became alerted to the existence of SCP-5696 when roughly ██% of males in an apartment complex experienced strong homosexual urges and displayed the first recorded instance of an Alpha-SS Event. 72 casualties were discovered, but evidence of the total consumption of some individuals was found. It is now believed that ██ adult males and ██ children died in the incident, however research to solidify this number is ongoing. All survivors of the incident were amnesticized with a Class A amnestic and were relocated out of the building.

Addendum: Following Incident 5696-A, containment procedures and object class have been updated, original containment procedures can be viewed below.

Original Containment Procedures

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5696 should be contained in male D-class quarters 4B at Site 19. D-class quarters are to be regularly checked for humanoids using an infrared device to maintain a D-class population of 20 or higher. Failure to maintain a D-class population of 20 or higher will lead to a Type 1 Rage Scenario and containment breach. [See Incident Log 5696-A]
D-class quarters should be modified to meet the following specifications:

Quarters should be modified to have only one entrance and one exit. These should be separated by no less than 5 meters. Additionally, the entrance and exit of the quarters should each be guarded by no less than 2 foundation personnel at all times. Personnel are swapped out as well as amnesticized with a Class A amnestic every 5 days.

A playlist consisting of Celine Dion, The Village People, and the Bee Gees should be played at a volume of 9 or higher throughout living quarters at all time. This playlist is the only certain way of calming SCP-5696 and failure to play the music in a span longer than approximately 2 minutes will lead to Type 3 Rage Scenario and a containment breach.

All D-Class should be dressed in leather jumpsuits derived from Bos taurus (Cattle) to meet SCP-5696's standard and to prevent a Type 2 Rage Scenario which will cause containment breach. At no time should foundation personnel attempt to remove any part of of SCP-5696's clothing in order to prevent a Type 1 Rage Scenario and containment breach

All D-Class should be instructed to follow all commands from SCP-5696 with the exception of instructions that would be harmful to research staff or the work of the foundation. Failure to follow instruction from SCP-5696 will cause it to enter a Type 1 Rage Scenario and will lead to the death of the D-class and containment breach.

Retrieval Log: [Text]

Incident Log 5696-A

Incident Log 5696-A
Precursor: When The Foundation first acquired SCP-5696, they attempted to contain in in a standard humanoid containment cell with a Euclid designation. This however, did not work as SCP-5696 would simply exit any containment cell The Foundation could construct and would make its way to the most populated area of Site 19, typically a breakroom or cafeteria, in an Enraged State. How SCP-5696 identifies the most populous room of the site is currently unknown. After the discovery of the effects of Celine Dion during retrieval, said music was played at loud volumes to keep SCP-5696 calm. Foundation staff quickly became opposed to both the presence of SCP-5696 in the cafeteria as well as Celine Dion's music which was reportedly "good, but not that good." It was then that the Ethics Committee decided to permanently contain SCP-5696 at male D-class quarters 4B at Site 19, following a recommendation from Dr. █████.
Incident: As cafeterias were well ventilated, the effects of SCP-5696's moisture was not noticed until containment in the relatively small room of D-class. As SCP-5696 peacefully slept through the night, D-class in their bunks squirmed in agony as their lungs slowly dissolved as a result of the acidic moisture from the entity's skin. Of the D-class population of ██, only 5 survived the night. When SCP-5696 awoke, it entered a Type 1 Rage Scenario in which it used its large teeth to disembowel a D-class in a unique fashion, devouring its rectum and moving into its lower intestine, slurping it into its agape mouth as if it were a noodle. While the D-class was screaming, it also appeared to be in extreme pleasure, the remaining 4 D-class appeared jealous of the entity and began to devour each others rectums in a similar fashion to SCP-5696, although to greater resistance, not driven by fear but envy of one another. All 5 remaining D-class expired in a span of 8 minutes and 42 seconds. It was at this point SCP-5696's guards entered containment and began to act in a similar manner and a containment breach signal was activated by a junior researcher who happened to be walking nearby the the D-class living quarters. Containment Team Romeo-60 arrived in minutes with a speaker playing "Celine Dion's Greatest Hits" and were able to subdue the entity and entice it back into containment with a number of D-class. An estimated 1██ Foundation Personnel were affected by SCP-5696's anomalous effect and were all given Class B amnestics.

Incident Log 5696-B

Incident Log 5696-B
Incident: A junior researcher at The Foundation entered containment and made reportedly pleasant conversation with SCP-5696. The junior researcher expressed that he wished to examine SCP-5696's "outfit" and the anomaly happily obliged, gleefully showing off his outfit. Then, without notice the junior researcher took a pair of scissors from his coat and snipped off a piece of the leather, roughly █ cm X █ cm. The anomaly quickly entered a Type 1 Rage Scenario and devoured the Junior Researcher in typical fashion, beginning with the rectum and slowly making its way why the digestive tract. The soon-to-be-disemboweled junior researcher screamed in agony and pleasure as guards broke procedure and trained their weapons on the entity. This caused the SCP to leave containment, easily phasing through 1 foot of solid cement emerging in the 4th corridor hallway. CT Romeo-60 was dispatched and followed procedure Golf Alpha Yankee in which they used a LRAD device playing Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" to calm the entity and coerce it back into containment. The junior researcher made a partial recovery and was given a Class A amnestic. The guards who broke procedure were initially re-assigned as D-class, however a decision of the Ethic Committee reversed this as their actions inadvertently saved the life of the junior researcher, a change of Containment Procedure to reflect the actions of the guards is under-review.

Rage Scenario	Description	Known Causes
Type 1	Men in a 25 meter radius of the entity will feel strong homosexual urges with a rating of -██ or lower on the Lussac's Preference Scale for a duration of 15 minutes to █ years. All women in a 25 meter radius will become immobilized and mute until the SCP becomes calm or moves to a position where the affected person is no longer within the radius. Women will be physically unharmed, but will be left sterile and will lose all sex drive for a duration of 15 minutes to █ years. Personnel in direct line of sight will experience an instance of an Alpha-SS Event. Containment procedure Golf Alpha Yankee has been devised to recontain the entity.	D-Class population in living quarters drops below 20. The entity has a part of its clothing removed. When an entity SCP-5696 identifies as a male subordinate refuses to follow a command. (Ex. D-Class or Junior Researcher) Note: This identification appears to only apply to D-Class personnel, The Foundation should avoid damage to the central nervous system of SCP-5696 to prevent a change in perception that may include other foundation personnel as subordinate. The SCP also is able to pass through solid objects seemingly at will, regardless of composition or anomalous effects while in a Type 1 Enraged State.
Type 2	The entity will simply kill any male within line of sight via strangulation with a leather belt. By presumably anomalous means, this strangulation is drawn out as the SCP chokes its victim over the course of 1-2 hours. Males within a 10 meter radius will feel strong homosexual urges with a rating of -██ or lower on the Lussac's Preference Scale for a duration of 15 minutes to █ years. All women in a 10 meter radius will become immobilized and mute until the SCP becomes calm or moves to a position where the affected person is no longer within the radius. Once the cause of the Rage Scenario has been eliminated/removed SCP-5696 will return to a docile state. It is presumed that the SCP will be able to walk through solid objects during this phase, but this has yet to be observed.	The entity views a perceived subordinate that is not dressed in leather.
Type 3	SCP-5696 will breach containment and seek out a means to play music. If the SCP cannot find a speaker with a copy of "Celine Dion's Greatest Hits", it will kill the nearest male and devour all of its tissue including bone except for their larynx and spine, which the SCP will use to fashion an instrument and play "My Heart Will Go On," presumably its favorite song. All personnel that hear this music will bleed from their tympanic cavities and be in extreme distress. The Site PA system in D-class living quarters 4B have been modified to play sound at a volume of 1██ dB and should be used at max volume to entice the SCP back into containment	The approved playlist is not played for a duration of 1 minute and 57 seconds. A non-approved song is played.
