Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-XXXX is contained within Aquatic Reserve/Timor1 - Pool 3 (Width: 25m, Length: 40m, Depth: 12m). This environment is designed to include various flora and fauna and other items to replicate an aquatic environment to the best of our ability. Side A of Pool 3 has an artificial beach (Width: 25m, Length: 4m) with a large rock placed 4m from the shoreline, both of which SCP-XXXX frequently uses as a place to rest, observe its surroundings and engage in recreational activity.

SCP-XXXX is to be fed 1KG of chum2 per day.

SCP-XXXX has been granted access to the following items:

  • 1 Hand Mirror
  • 1 Comb (replaced if broken)
  • A supply of string3

The observation chambers of Pool 3 are to be soundproofed. Any personnel entering the vicinity Pool 3 Building are required to wear a standard HPD (hearing protection device)4 unless specified otherwise by Containment Specialist Dr. David Sterk. We remind you that when entering the immediate vicinity of Pool 3, a HPD is a requirement. Unauthroatied disuse of an HPD is a danger to yourself, and any nearby peers and will result in disciplinary action.

Layout of SCP-XXXX Containment Area/Pool 3

Description:

SCP-XXXX is an aquatic organism with a human-like upper body and a 4.5-meter-long, fish-like tail from the waist down5 In most circumstances (See Below), the humanoid portion of SCP-XXXX broadly resembles a typical human female, although lacking breasts or an umbilicus and its skin is similar in appearance to that of Pandea Rubra (Red paper lantern jellyfish) but is more durable than human flesh.

The slight transparency of SCP-XXXX's skin allows us to make out the vague internal structure of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX has a set of fangs, similar to the Angler Fish. The Object also has three hearts located throughout the upper torso. SCP-XXXX does not appear to have any bones, and instead has slightly denser muscle tissue to give its body structure. However, SCP-XXXX possesses enough strength to effortlessly rip tissue and even extremities of of its victims. A surgical examination is currently pending.

SCP-XXXX shows equal intelligence to that of a typical human. SCP-XXXX is also capable of human speech and has spoken multiple languages to various personnel. When pressed on how it knows said languages, SCP-XXXX will claim to 'not understand the question,' which it has done in four languages thus far. SCP-XXXX has also been observed building tools out of rocks and crafting jewellery using supplied string and various shells added to Pool 3.

Thus far SCP-XXXX has made no attempt to escape containment.

SCP-XXXX has shown interest in a small number of personnel, particularly SCP-XXXX containment specialist Dr. David Sterk. Dr. Sterk has managed to interview SCP-XXXX. (See Below) Individuals of SCP-XXXX's interest frequently will be asked questions about themselves, what they are currently doing and if they enjoy swimming. We ask that staff refrain from releasing classified information, or personal information such as their home, relatives etc. EDIT: We also remind personnel not to accept SCP-XXXX offer for a swim.

Many of the staff have received hand-crafted jewellery from SCP-XXXX made from supplied string and various bits of dead fish, shells and rocks. These items show no abnormal qualities, but are asked to be kept on site.6 Staff are recommended to wear any received gifts when interacting with SCP-XXXX as the object is noted to be more engaged with those who do so. The reasons for this are likely simple; SCP-XXXX is flattered.

Within the water, SCP-XXXX occupies itself by eating, pilling up rocks and half-eaten fishbone and examining its reflection using the One-Way Mirror used to visually observe SCP-XXXX whilst it is underwater. While SCP-XXXX spends the majority of its time underwater, it is capable of breathing oxygen. It routinely perches itself on the rock by the shore and the beach for varying lengths of time. While positioned out of the water, SCP-XXXX routinely:

  • Combs its hair
  • Splashes water onto its tail to keep it wet
  • Throws smaller rocks, shells or chum towards Foundation personnel (seemingly as a joke)
  • Sing (SEE BELOW)

Discovery and Containment:

On 13/12/2019, the Foundation Submarine 'Propagate' was analysing unrelated DNA samples before SCP-XXXX was observed on observation devices. The footage was immediately transmitted to the Foundation Systems. Two hours later, at 14:09, the foundation received another transmission.

The Foundation lost contact with the Propagate shortly after. The remains of the submarine and its crew were recovered on 16/12/2019.

Along with Dr. Wang's message was a set of coordinates. Foundation teams armed with HPDs investigated the area and discovered SCP-XXXX decorating a cavern with bones presumably removed from the ‘Propagate.’ A standard Aquatic Capture Unit (Colloquially known as a ‘Lobster Trap’) was placed at the cave entrance and surrounded by three separate and armed Foundation submarines. A container of fish was placed inside via drones. After three days, SCP-XXXX entered the cage at its own accord and was secured.

SCP-XXXX VOCAL ABILITIES

SCP-XXXX has the unique ability to attract subjects towards it via singing. SCP-XXXX's song has been described by those who hear it as 'beautiful,' and it made them satisfied on a level they could not describe. Various individuals have described the singing as Calming, warm, erotic, mysterious and more. Seemingly, victims of SCP-XXXX's singing described the song as whatever sensation resonates closest to them.

Displayed below is a recorded example of SCP-XXXX hunting a human subject, and is typical of its strategies:

Through observation, SCP-XXXX seemingly enjoys toying with its food before proceeding to kill it. It typically has the means to simply attract it's prey via it's hypnotic voice, yet instead takes it's time to lure and sedate it's victims through other means for no clear reason aside from pleasure.

It became clear through these observations that SCP-XXXX has metamorphic abilities, capable of altering its appearance to suit whatever form would best subdue its prey.

Over it's containment, SCP-XXXX has grown increasingly enamoured with Dr. Sterk. Out of any personnel on SCP-XXXX's containment team, Dr. Sterk has received the most gifts. Dr. Sterk has developed a routine with SCP-XXXX and has developed a portfolio of information gathered from SCP-XXXX.

It thus far has been ‘vigorous’ and ‘passionate’ discussions of aquatic biota.

Interview Log:

On 14/01/2022, Dr. Sterk began his second interview with SCP-XXXX for the week.

Dr. Sterk worked late in his office that evening. He was awoken by a co-worker the next morning at his desk, who found to their embarrassment that Dr. Sterk had been watching footage of SCP-XXXX's containment area.

On 18/01/2022, Dr. Sterk entered SCP-XXXX's containment area with a small gift-box tucked under their labcoat.

A finger was located within Pool 3 which after DNA testing was confirmed to belong to Dr. David Sterk (Presumed Deceased.)

SCP-XXXX is currently undergoing reclassification to ‘Uncontained.’ Possible reclassification to ‘Keter’ in discussion.
