SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Zulfiqar [don't quit now, I can justify it]
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept [somewhere]. The chamber is to be guarded at all times by no less than four (4) guards armed with assault rifles, none of whom are to be informed of the nature of SCP-XXXX. The chamber is surrounded by five (5) Class-K Scranton Reality Anchors, arranged in a pentagonal pattern.
In the event of a security breach involving SCP-XXXX, RAISA must be contacted immediately. The deployment of MTF Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") is authorized in order to re-contain or neutralize SCP-XXXX. MTF Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand") and MTF Tau-5 ("Samsara") have also been briefed on SCP-XXXX, and may be deployed against SCP-XXXX by the order of Senior Researcher Wallace.
SCP-XXXX's Special Containment Procedures may be freely accessed by any Foundation personnel with Level 2 or higher clearance. However, SCP-XXXX's Description is only to be viewed by personnel who are currently assigned to SCP-XXXX, and have been appropriately inoculated against all types of cognitohazards known to have been generated by SCP-XXXX during attempted containment breaches.
[this section needs more meat, I think - I'll add to it as ideas come in]
SCP-XXXX is not to be assigned any object class except for Vanadis, Zulfiqar, or Abaddon. [footnote about seeing some handbook about esoteric object classes]
[description is behind a "Level 4 clearance" spoiler block]
Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a Hewlett-Packard laptop computer manufactured in 2015. The object is capable of communicating by displaying text in a command prompt on its screen, and it is possible to engage in conversation with SCP-XXXX by typing responses in this command prompt and then pressing the "Enter" key. SCP-XXXX appears to possess the intelligence of an average adult human, and can fluently communicate in English and Russian.
The origin of SCP-XXXX is unknown. The object was recovered on October 14, 2017, during a raid on a Chaos Insurgency facility. [insert some information about that here]
SCP-XXXX has displayed significant Type Green reality-bending capabilities, such as flying at up to 30km/h despite an apparent lack of a method for generating power, and lethally attacking Foundation personnel in many different ways.
Interviews with SCP-XXXX have led researchers to discover three important traits of SCP-XXXX: it is obsessed with honesty; it desires to be feared by most people who know about it; and it displays anomalous awareness of all information pertaining to it. These traits have led researchers assigned to SCP-XXXX to create Procedure VANTABLACK, which consists of including in SCP-XXXX's Special Containment Procedures many pieces of information which fall into one or both of the following categories:
- Instructions that normally do not need to be explicitly stated. For example, SCP-XXXX's Special Containment Procedures warn that RAISA must be contacted immediately if the object breaches security, which is true of nearly all SCP objects.
- Information that is technically true, but deliberately presented in a manner which is likely to mislead the reader. For example, SCP-XXXX has been assigned the Object Class "Zulfiqar," which is the same as the commonplace Euclid class in all but name. If SCP-XXXX's behavior warrants a change in its Object Class, it may be re-designated as Vanadis (Safe) or Abaddon (Keter). In order to preserve the efficacy of this containment procedure, the clearance required to access the full list of esoteric object classes has been limited to a few high-ranking personnel within RAISA, the Ethics Committee, and the O5 Council. [footnote about other personnel being provided with another version of said handbook?]
SCP-XXXX is effectively being allowed to dictate its own containment procedures by violently lashing out against the Foundation whenever those containment procedures are not to its liking. The necessity of Procedure VANTABLACK in order to successfully contain SCP-XXXX reflects a serious lack of competence on the Foundation's part, and permanent containment of SCP-XXXX through Procedure VANTABLACK may be impossible.
Per the greenlighting policy, first-time authors must get concepts reviewed in the Ideas Critique Forum or IRC chatrooms before creating a feedback thread in the Drafts and Critique forum. Draft critique can still be sought via IRC and PM without greenlights.
