SCP XXXX shortly after arrival at Site 19

Item# XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in its original sealed glass jar in a storage locker no warmer than 22 degrees Celsius at all times, save for routine maintenance and cleaning.

Maintenance procedures entail the following: At the beginning of each month, SCP-XXXX is to be removed from its containment. Once the subject has been removed and taken to a designated research chamber for testing, the jar is to be flushed of its contents, which include the following: diluted Formalin solution (70%) and water. After thorough disinfecting, the jar is to be refilled with a fresh batch of diluted Formalin.

SCP-XXXX, once removed from containment, is to be handled with standard issue medical gloves and checked over for any additional growths. Any visible changes to the subject's anatomy larger than 1.5 cm are to be photographed, recorded, and sent to Dr. ███████. Post examination, SCP-XXXX is to be returned to its jar, sealed, and placed back into storage. Researchers who were in contact with SCP-XXXX are to be monitored for mental or physical abnormalities.

Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a visually unremarkable pickled cucumber (Cucumis sativus) measuring 1.5 cm in length which thus far appears to have biology immortality. SCP XXXX'S main anomolous effect is whenever SCP XXXX interacts with liquid water it will begin to anomolously transmute said water into a compound superficially identical to a cucumber (designated SCP XXXX-1). This process is randomised and is not limited by distance or amount however due to the speed in which it takes place (on average 200 grams of cucumber per month) SCP XXXX requires only standard maintenance and cleaning.

SCP XXXX-2 refers to a cluster of SCP XXXX-1 which will always take on the appearance of a baseline cucumber.
SCP XXXX-2 instances while in their non active state possess no unusual charecteristics and are safe to consume Whenever a SCP XXXX-2 instance enters a environment that exceeds 35 Degrees Celsius they will gain the primary anomolous effect of SCP XXXX however will still possess the lifespan of a average cucumber (50 to 70 Days) at which point all anomolous effects will cease.

Discovery: SCP XXXX was first discovered in 1997 by a
Charles J Moore who was returning from southern California when he and his crew caught sight of plastic floating in the ocean this prompted him to publish several articles about it's effects on the local ecosystem. Upon the papers publication several foundation personal were dispatched to investigate a potential anomily in the area however while the effects of the plastic were in the end concluded to non anomolous a large portion of the matter consisted of cucumbers which eventually resulted in the discovery of SCP XXXX. Once SCP XXXX was removed all anomolous activity ceased. To aid in the containment of SCP XXXX precautionary measures have been taken so that any civilians who wish to take part in any expeditions to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch will be treated with Class E amnestics.

Testing: Shortly after its discovery SCP XXXX was transported to Site 19 for testing.
