Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures:

Description:SCP-XXXX is a metal structure capable of taking a variety of humanoid forms. Although SCP-XXXX consistently takes on humanoid forms, SCP-XXXX shows no capability of intelligent speech or communication. SCP-XXXX is incapable of moving while being observed directly, however can move when viewed through security cameras or other such technology. SCP-XXXX's form can be in a variety of styles such as wire, solid metal, and even gears.

SCP-XXXX can control metal within a 5 meter radius of it. SCP-XXXX will usually use the metal to add to its mass. SCP-XXXX has show to be non-hostile to non-humanoid subjects, and has proved easier to re-contain when given a "pet" to play with. When a humanoid enters SCP-XXXX's line of sight, SCP-XXXX will sprout metal tendrils that will extend towards the subject. SCP-XXXX will then proceed to engulf the subject with the tendrils as said tendrils detach from SCP-XXXX. After the Tendrils have engulfed the subject, the metal will melt into a silver liquid that will enter the subjects body through the pours.

Humanoids subject to the "melting" phenomenon will transform into a copy of SCP-XXXX over the course of ██ days. This copy will act exactly like the original SCP-XXXX, but will be made out of human tissue and bone and will control living mater instead of metal. These "copies" are to be classed as instances of SCP-XXXX-2. During the slow transition from human to SCP-XXXX-2, the subject will grow increasingly ill both mentally and physically. Symptoms have included headaches, nausea, vomiting, hysteria, and psychosis.

Addendum XXXX.1:Observation Log

SCP-XXXX has been observed to display sympathy towards instances of SCP-XXXX-2. When SCP-XXXX was left in a room with SCP-XXXX-2, the two subjects walked towards each-other and embraced for █ minutes before letting go of each-other. SCP-XXXX then sat parallel to their "copy" as they stared each-other down. After ██ minutes, SCP-XXXX-2 walked towards the door and spoke, saying it was "ready to go back". SCP-XXXX-2 was then escorted to their cell by two armed guards. No incidents reported. SCP-XXXX-2 was reported docile for approximately ██ hours before returning to its hostile state.
