Item #: SCP-4228

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: All roads and trails within 12 kilometers of SCP-4228 are to be closed to the public under the guise of the government closing off the area due to feral animals attacking most who enter. Regular patrols around SCP-4228 must also be in place. Communication with SCP-4228 is forbidden without authorization from the senior researcher overseeing the study of the anomaly; any personnel interacting with SCP-4228 without authorization should be terminated immediately.

Instances of non-Foundation or unregistered SCP-4228-1 should be detained immediately, but lethal force may be used against instances of SCP-4228-1 that will use/have used lethal force themselves. Once detained, instances of SCP-4228-1 should be questioned and held in a humanoid containment unit specifically designed to withstand that instance's abilities; release or assimilation into the Foundation are to be approved on a case-by-case basis.

Description: SCP-4228 is an entity with no physical body, however, it appears as an orb of light-blue light, and, despite not possessing a brain, can speak telepathically. SCP-4228 is located in a large grotto within a mountain in ████████, India. This grotto consists of a smooth stone walkway between two ponds, and leads to a large cylindrical platform made of the same type of stone. There are light-blue crystals embedded within the earth around this area that — by an unknown means — give off the same-color light, though only dimly. Bringing a light-source is recommended.

When a person steps onto the cylindrical platform at the end of the stone walkway, SCP-4228 appears several meters above and in front of the person, levitating in the air. It cannot be viewed nor heard by anyone other than the subject on the platform, or instances of SCP-4228-1. SCP-4228 then greets the person, referring to them as its "child", and engages them in conversation. After talking with them for a varying amount of time — usually about 15 to 30 seconds — SCP-4228 then comments on how the person is related to a specific element, compound, concept, type of object, etc. and tells them they will become one with said element, compound, concept, or type of object. Then, they will be given a kinetic ability relating to it, as well as increased durability and regenerative processes, and will thus become an instance of SCP-4228-1, after which, SCP-4228 disappears.

Aside from being able to grant superhuman abilities, SCP-4228 has also shown anomalous effects in that people who communicate with it feel safe, loved, and not in danger from SCP-4228, even if they have never been told anything about the anomaly, or rather, have been told it is malicious and malevolent1. Rather, instances of SCP-4228-1 will instead grow attached to SCP-4228 very quickly.

When instances of SCP-4228-1 step on the cylindrical platform, they can speak further with SCP-4228. Instances of SCP-4228-1 express a want to do this at least every other week, but, if possible, will do it about every other day. It is unknown if this is an anomalous effect.

Instances of SCP-4228-1 — behavior wise — are very similar to how they were before speaking with SCP-4228, however, they will never harm the grotto that SCP-4228 is housed in, nor will they speak poorly of the anomaly2. They also near-exclusively refer to SCP-4228 as "father". Physically, instances of SCP-4228-1 have durability that is roughly 450% that of the average human, but this durability is ignored by the abilities of other instances, meaning that using them is the only effective method of detaining or killing another instance. They also have improved regenerative processes that can even regrow limbs over varying periods of time — usually about 2 to 6 months — as well as counteract the effects of aging, while older instances of SCP-4228-1 have been shown to gradually look younger and regain strength and/or stamina lost from their younger years. Instances of SCP-4228-1 are given a kinetic ability from SCP-4228 based on their interests, appearance, or various other qualities. These kinetic abilities can range from the more well-known, such as pyrokinesis3, or the more obscure, such as fthinoporokinesis4. These kinetic abilities are not limited to only the manipulation, but also the generation of the element, concept, etc.; it appears this violates the first law of thermodynamics. However, it could be possible that they were taken from another part of our universe and instantly transported to wherever the instance of SCP-4228-1 decided to use their ability. Like most skills, instances of SCP-4228-1 can increase the strength of their kinetic abilities by use and training, but the abilities also seem to gradually get more powerful over time, even without use.

Experiment Log 4228-1:

Subject: D-10512, a 34 year-old Caucasian male. Killed 3 civilians with a crowbar before being put on death row.

Foreword: This was the first interaction the Foundation had with SCP-4228, and very little was known about it before this point.

<BEGIN LOG>

[D-10512 walks into the grotto as per the instructions given to him from Dr. Ratziv via a communication headset, and continues walking down the pathway before stopping before the cylindrical platform.]

Dr. Ratziv: D-10512, please continue.

D-10512: Uh… What's going to happen when I stop up there, again?

Dr. Ratziv: It's unlikely something bad will happen to you. I know my word means little to you, but you have it nonetheless.

[D-10512 hesitates, then continues walking up the steps and onto the platform. Once there, he suddenly looks awestruck with a hint of fear, looking up to where SCP-4228 supposedly levitates. He says nothing for 22 seconds.]

D-10512: Yeah, sure!

Dr. Ratziv: D-10512, tell me what you see and hear.

[D-10512 says nothing for several seconds, before a pillar of grey light envelopes him for 4 seconds.]

D-10512: Thank you, father!

Dr. Ratziv: Answer me!

[D-10512 is once again silent for several seconds, before turning around and leaving the grotto. Guards quickly try to seize him, but when they approach, metal spikes are ejected from D-10512's body, impaling and killing both guards, before the spikes retract back into the D-Class' body. Five more guards open fire, but their bullets stop a decimeter away from D-10512, before falling to the ground. The D-Class then materializes spears in the air around him, and launches them at high speeds at the five guards, killing them instantly.]

Dr. Ratziv: D-10512, stand down immediately!

[D-10512 approaches Dr. Ratziv and materializes a crowbar in his right hand. He then knocks her head with said crowbar, causing her to fall to the ground, dazed. D-10512 then continues hitting her with the crowbar for 20 more seconds. The camera is shaking and the quality is lowered as the one taking the video runs behind a large rock to view the scene from safety. D-10512 stands up and runs into the forest, only before the previously fired bullets start levitating in the air, and fly at the camera.]

Request to create an MTF consisting of instances of SCP-4228-1: Approved

Addendum 4228-1: Due to the escape of a super-powered criminal, an MTF specialized in finding and detaining rogue, unknown, and/or hostile instances of SCP-4228-1 has been founded. This MTF unit is MTF Chi-19 "Primordial Children", and consists of instances of SCP-4228-1, as their kinetic abilities are very effective against other instances.

Interviews:
Note: Because SCP-4228 is only heard by the subject communicating with the anomaly, the interviewers have written down SCP-4228's responses, and said responses are spoken and recorded by an actor whose voice apparently resembles that of SCP-4228's.

Addendum 4228-2: As of ██/██/2019, D-10512 has been successfully captured and terminated. The MTF report can be found here ((gonna make a link to a tale I'm gonna write)).
