Dr Tao's untimely death serves as a reminder for the consequences of miscommunication within Personnel. It is for this reason that I open the document to all Personnel who have clearance above Class 2, additionally I will include features which I privately had passed to Dr Tao which at that point I had found it to be in his best interest. I know about the rumours between me and Dr Tao's death and I remind everyone that the we serve the best interest of the Foundation. Including the O5s. Including me. - Site Director of Site-███

An instance SCP-3865 inside containment Please note that photographs taken of SCP-3865 are not anomalous

Item #: SCP-3865

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-3865 are to be contained within inside a sealed cell measuring 2 metres wide, 2 metres high and 6 metres long. This Cell is to be suspended above the ground by four chains connected to four corners of a room 4 metres wide 4 metres high and 8 metres long. A distance of at least one metre is to be placed between the cell and the walls at all times.

A laser detection grid as well as a camera system is to be placed within the room. The camera system is to be observed by a Class-D Personnel who is to report any damage done to the cell or any instances of SCP-3865 outside of containment.

Four cameras are to be placed at the four corners of the Room. These cameras are to send delayed footage by 1 second to four monitors. A Level 2 Security Personnel is to be observing the camera feed at all times to ensure that SCP-3865 does not escape or that the containment area is not accessed by unauthorised Personnel.

Four Class-D Personnel are to observe monitors relaying delayed footage from four corners of the room. This is to ensure that SCP-3865 does not escape or that DR TAO OR ANY PERSONNEL DOES NOT ENTER THE CONTAINMENT AREA.

Four Class-D Personnel are to be place in a separate room adjacent to the containment chamber and are to be forcefully placed in a Chair in order to monitor the room's activity 24/7 through a one way mirror. The Chair is designed to force the Class-D Personnel's head to constantly face the room and a Class A anaesthetic is to be delivered through their arm every 10 seconds. A button is to be placed at the side of the Chair in order to allow the Class-D Personnel to report a containment breach. Class-D Personnel are to be replaced every month.

A tape with the following instructions is to be set on loop and played to the Class-D Personnel.
"If you any suspicious moving person or articles please inform our staff or press the emergency communication button."

Description: SCP-3865 are a group wooden monk statues of unknown origin. The mechanism by which it moves is currently unknown as it's legs do not leave the small stone structure when it does. However SCP-3865 produce a set of hands in order to [DATA EXPUNGED] (see below) SCP-3865 produces a vocalisation similar to the sound of a old human laughing. This laugh will be heard within a 2 metre radius of any instance of SCP-3865 regardless of capability of hearing (see below). Additionally when SCP-3865 produces the vocalisation it's upper body structure moves up and down with it's lower body structure maintaining it's position, similar to a person does when they laugh. All known instances of SCP-3865 cannot be destroyed in any way or form.

SCP-3865-A is a human target in which after perceiving SCP-3865 has been targeted by SCP-3865 and will die by a collection of differing methods (see below)

Upon contact, SCP-3865 will travel through any material in order to get to SCP-3865-A. SCP-3865 will then attempt to rip out SCP-3865-A's eyes, nose, tongue or limbs. Resulting in [DATA EXPUNGED] and turns into an second SCP-3865, hence to prevent further spread of SCP-3865, no Personnel are to come into contact with SCP-3865.

Upon contact, SCP-3865 will travel through any material by disappearing from one side and reappearing on the other side in order to get to SCP-3865-A. The thickness of type of material does not slow down this process(see Interview Log 3865-1). SCP-3865 will then kill SCP-3865-A based on how the latter reacts to SCP-3865. There is ongoing research to see if a method of response results in SCP-3865 giving up. These methods may stack resulting in mass injury to the victim. The methods are listed below.

And I cannot stress this hard enough, the actions of Dr Tao are not to be repeated by anyone. Again, NO EXPERIMENTS ARE TO BE CONDUCTED ON SCP-3865 DUE TO IT'S NATURE. There is no one who can perceive SCP-3865 without dying and we cannot risk anymore deaths. Especially after the messy results of the initial testing. - O5-█

Dr Tao is now promoted to Primary Researcher on SCP-3865, his ability to perform on the field as well as his first hand experience with the nature of SCP-3865 can be utilised to help with the containment of SCP-3865 - Site ███'s Director

Addendum 3865-1: In a test run on SCP-3865 it was most unfortunately found that moving instances of SCP-3865 will cause all viewer to become SCP-3865-A. This included live footage of SCP-3865 in which SCP-3865 proceeded to look into the camera before breaching containment and killing all viewers of the footage. The only known survivor of this event was Dr Tao as he did not view the footage.

Addendum 3865-2: SCP-3865 had breached containment on ██/██/████ when Dr Tao once again decided to conduct research on SCP-3865, the resulting containment breach that occurred resulted in ███ SCPs escaping as well as █ more instances of SCP-3865 occurring. During the research done by Dr Tao SCP-3865 was recorded to have chased a D-Class Personnel; D-83929 through 15 layers of walls each made of different materials as well as having various width by running through a set of doors which were locked when D-83929 ran past them. SCP-3865 was recorded to have disappeared and reappeared through each individual wall each time it needed to pass through one layer. For that reason, it was concluded that SCP-3865 could only pass through any wall it encountered.

We had so much more to learn about SCP-3865 and we haven't even scrapped the surface of it. This is what the Foundation was built to do to study can't you see I'm just doing what is best for all of us what is wrong with you. I can't just, My whole life was in that room. Just one more chance please. - Dr Tao

Addendum 3865-3: Following the deaths of multiple Personnel and destruction of several SCP objects, an order by the O5 council stated that SCP-3865 is to no longer be experimented on. Site ███'s Director has personally stated that Due to Dr Tao's current mental state he be transferred to another SCP in Site ███ or more specifically [DATA EXPUNGED] SCP-3291

Addendum 3865-4: Dr Tao appealed to the O5 council to allow for testing on SCP-3865 a total of 97 times as well as to the Ethics committee 70 times before giving up.

Addendum 3865-5: SCP-3865 had breached containment on ██/██/████ resulting in the deaths of ██ Staff members, ██ D-Class Personnel and the breach of ██ SCPs. During this Breach, SCP-3865 was recorded to have attacked a D-Class Personnel who was blind, deaf, mute and had a rare genetic disorder known as CIPA. The D-92938 had died via destruction of her skin, eyes, ears and tongue.

Addendum 3865-6: SCP-3865 had breached containment on ██/██/████ resulting in the deaths of █ Staff members, █ D-Class Personnel and the breach of █ SCPs. During the Breach, SCP-3865 was recorded to be able to bypass walls despite Scranton Reality Anchors being placed on the other sides. SCP-3865 was also recorded to hesitate when D-Class Personnel D-12378 who had previously seen SCP-3865 had had his memories removed by a Class A anaesthetic. SCP-3865 had looked confused when it saw D-12378 post memories removed before producing it's vocalisations. SCP-3865 time before assault had been [DATA EXPUNGED].

Addendum 3865-7: SCP-3865 had breached containment on ██/██/████ resulting in the deaths of █ D-Class Personnel and the breach of █ SCPs. In the midst of the chaos Dr Tao managed to record a group of SCP-3865 engage with SCP-████ after which SCP-3865 proceeded to [DATA EXPUNGED] it's outer layer off which resulted in [DATA EXPUNGED].

Addendum 3865-8: Dr Tao who was at the point not in charge of the containment of SCP-3865 was found to be tampering with the chains in SCP-3865's containment cell. Due to the misuse of his level as Researcher as well as the death of multiple Personnel due to his reckless actions. Dr Tao was given capital punishment under laws [DATA EXPUNGED]. Dr Tao was sentenced to death via electric chair. However on the day when he was supposed to be hanged. Dr Tao was found missing in his prison cell and an additional case of SCP-3865 had been discovered in the containment unit.

We were on the precipice of a new discovery, an action to be taken in order to prevent the deaths of thousand as well as to decommission a SCP and remove the world of a threat. To all members of the Foundation I say this, DON'T TRUST [DATA EXPUNGED]. - Dr Tao

Addendum 3865-9: It was reasoned that SCP-3865 was able to hunt and attack Dr Tao despite SCP-3865 not killing him previously was because Dr Tao initially had seen SCP-3865 since the initial test logs. Research into SCP-3865's sadistic tendencies are NOT underway.

Addendum 3865-10: Following the death of Dr Tao, Site Director for Site-███ figured out the circumstances for which SCP-3865 reacts to Class A anaesthetics which delayed it by 15 mins before the subject showed discomfort with SCP-3865 and by using this the containment method for SCP-3865 was found.
