Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Threat Level: ● Orange

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is held at Site-23 in a 10 by 10 by 10 meter chamber made of Platinum. This is to ensure that SCP-XXXX can not rust through the chamber walls. No air ducks or power plugs of any kind are to be installed in SCP-XXXX's chamber. SCP-XXXX's chamber has been provided with three battery powered fans to keep the chamber at -60° C. All three fan batteries are to be replaced monthly by containment personnel. SCP-XXXX's chamber is to be kept at -60° C at all times unless in emergency situations or if SCP-XXXX must be unfrozen for testing purposes. In the event of an emergency SCP-XXXX's chamber can be heated up to 100° C if deemed necessary. Level 2 Security Clearance is required to operate SCP-XXXX's chamber fans. Any experiments relating to SCP-XXXX must first be authorized by The Local Site Director before being conducted. No liquids of any kind are allowed near SCP-XXXX's Containment Chamber unless they are being used for testing-related purposes. Any liquids found near SCP-XXXX's Containment Chamber are to be reported immediately as a possible Containment Breach. Should SCP-XXXX breach containment, personnel are advised to track it's location from a distance until MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") arrives to re-contain the object.

Update (8/2/13): Under no circumstances is SCP-XXXX to be exposed to fire.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered on July 22nd, 2013 in Maine by MTF Epsilon-6 ("Village Idiots.") Local hunters reported finding multiple dead animals whos eyes had been seemingly drained of all moisture. MTF Epsilon-6 investigated and reported "a water-based anomaly changing shape in the forest." MTF Gamma-6 was sent to help secure and move SCP-XXXX to Site-23. MTF Epsilon-6 and Gamma-6 successfully froze and secured SCP-XXXX with Epsilon-6 experiencing only one casualty. The hunters were questioned and given Class B amnestics and all animals seemingly effected by SCP-XXXX were located and secured for analysis.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an entity made up of various different bodily fluids, mostly blood and water. SCP-XXXX will hunt living organisms to avoid evaporation and to maintain it's physical form. SCP-XXXX will normally wait for prey to wander by, however, when SCP-XXXX is short on it's supply of liquid it will begin mimicking the shape of nearby organisms as a luring tactic. How SCP-XXXX knows the shape of other organisms or can navigate at all is still unknown. When SCP-XXXX successfully captures prey it will proceed to drown the prey with its own body. Once the prey has deceased, it will then drain the prey of all bodily fluids. The temperature of SCP-XXXX's current environment seems to affect the amount of food needed per day. When set to a cold 10° C SCP-XXXX was estimated to have drained about one cup of liquid throughout the whole day. When setting SCP-XXXX's chamber to a hot 90° C SCP-XXXX was estimated to have drained about three gallons of liquid throughout the day. When presented with fire, SCP-XXXX will move as far as possible from the subject. act unpredictably in behavior. (See Incident Log-6531 for more details)

+ Incident Log-6531

During a raid on Site-23 on August 2nd, 2013, from [REDACTED] a containment breach was caused resulting in the temporary loss of multiple SCP-Class objects including SCP-XXXX. While other objects were being re-contained, MTF Epsilon-9 ("Fire Eaters") were told to keep SCP-XXXX in it's current area until more Foundation personnel could arrive. A transcript of SCP-XXXX's re-containment has been provided below:

Transcript:
Incident#-6531
Date: 8/2/13
0319: MTF Epsilon-9 tracks SCP-XXXX to a forest near Site-23.
0322: MTF Epsilon-9 successfully forms a perimeter around SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX moves around the perimeter but does not attempt to engage MTF Epsilon-9.
0324: SCP-XXXX begins moving more frantically. MTF Epsilon-9 maintains position.
0327: SCP-XXXX attempts to engage MTF Epsilon-9. MTF Epsilon-9 forces SCP-XXXX to the center of the perimeter. SCP-XXXX's movements become highly unpredictable.
0328: SCP-XXXX re-engages MTF Epsilon-9. SCP-XXXX successfully captures one subject and exits the perimeter. MTF Epsilon-9 pursues SCP-XXXX and cause about 40% of SCP-XXXX's remaining physical form to evaporate.
0329: SCP-XXXX captures three more subjects from MTF Epsilon-9. SCP-XXXX begins draining all captured subjects of all bodily fluids.
0330: MTF Epsilon-9 falls back. SCP-XXXX pursues. SCP-XXXX successfully captures two more subjects. SCP-XXXX fully drains one of the captured subjects.
0331: Foundation personnel arrive and begin freezing SCP-XXXX. MTF Epsilon-9 successfully pulls the remaining subject out of SCP-XXXX using rope.
0332: SCP-XXXX successfully re-contained.
0426: SCP-XXXX's Special Containment Procedures updated.

At the time of writing the surviving subject pulled out of SCP-XXXX's interior is currently under intensive treatment. It is unlikely however that the subject will be able to continue service. Six members of MTF Epsilon-9 are currently undergoing intensive therapy and are scheduled to return to service in one month.
