Special containment procedures
SCP ████’s containment cell is to only be entered with infrared goggles on, and only observed by infrared camera systems. This is to ensure that any on or off site personnel are not driven to insanity. Children between ages █-██ are allowed to enter the site freely however.
SCP ████’s containment cell is to be burned bi-weekly in order to ensure that it does not expand far enough to attempt a containment breach.
SCP ████’s containment cell is █ x █ x █, and, after incident [data expunged] has three reinforced, vacuum-sealed bulkheads in order to ensure that ████ does not escape from containment. The containment cell is to be kept at a constant temperature of 41 degrees Celsius. This temperature was proposed by Dr.██████, so that personnel can still relatively safely give it its ‘fire-scrubbing.’ Twice a week.
Description:
SCP ████-1 is a mass of flesh, aproximately .75 Meters tall. It has an eye structure near its center of mass. It is purple in color, and has a cavity toward it’s ‘top’ (the area it prefers to be facing away from the Earth.) That seems to store fluid. This cavity is extremely hot, at [redacted] degrees Celsius, and stores a fluid, which, when in contact with the ground and either the chalice or any of it’s extended flesh, will freeze into a substance not too different from the substance ████-1 is made out of itself, however, a few key differences are a lighter hue, and flammability. This substance is dubbed SCP ████-2.
Theories as to ████’s origin have been proposed, however, all require level 4 clearance to access. We apologize for the inconvenience.
A human being can not gaze upon SCP ████-1’s eye structure, or main body, without losing mental stability and entering a frenzy. In some cases, even committing [redacted].
However, two key methods of observing ████-1 have been discovered. The first is infrared technology. If stared at through Infrared imaging, ████-1 will not have any effects on the human psyche. The second method is through a child. A child can somewhat safely observe ████-1 without too much consequence. A human child will be completely brain healthy for one minute of viewing the object. For another four minutes, they will feel a sense of unease, and develop insomnia. A therapist can remedy this, however. After a full 10 more minutes of gazing upon ████-1, they will begin to have suicidal thoughts, and there eyes will noticeably change in color. The eye color change is permanent, however, the suicidal thoughts can be remedied by a doctor. After 30 minutes of gazing upon SCP-████-1 the child will enter a state of insanity and rage that can not seem to be cured. The collection of these results is not to be questioned. Any one who attempts to ‘expose’ us for shady methods of data collection will be terminated.
Discovery:
SCP-████ was discovered by a twelve year old boy named Nathan Ceraph. An interview is described here.
Doctor ████████: Hello Nathan. How are you.
Nathan: Fine.
Doctor ████████: I’m here to talk to you about that thing you found, is that Ok?
Nathan: Yes.
Doctor ████████: Ok Nathan. Firstly, can you describe what it was doing when you found it?
Nathan: Yeah, uhm, (pause, Nathan is seen shifting in his chair.) It was talking to my dad, as it seemed. Not through words, through ideas. When my dad noticed me, the thing did almost simultaneously. And my dad came at me with an axe.
Doctor ████████: could you tell what it was saying?
Nathan: no. I don’t think it can quite connect to kids like it did my mum and dad.
Doctor ████████: can you elaborate.
Nathan: I have a theory as too how this thing drives adults mad, it kind of sends telepathic waves to the individual, which mess with their brain function, making them, well, mad.
Doctor ████████: do you have any evidence to back this theory up?
Nathan: no.
Doctor ████████: can you describe how it looked?
Nathan: I’d prefer not too, but I left a drawing in my backpack.
Doctor ████████: thank you Nathan. Now, would you like any refreshments?
Nathan: Tea?
Doctor ████████: we have tea.
Nathan: I’ll have that please.
Shortly after, a woman carries in a cup of tea. She hands it to Nathan, and Nathan takes a sip before collapsing into the table.
The tea contained anestics and ████████. Nathan is currently in containment and is being used as a test subject.
Update: SCP ████-1’s effects have been proven ineffective on other, humanoid SCPs.
Update: Touching SCP ████ with bare hands will result in rashes. The rashes spread across the body and cause swelling of the brain, lungs, and [redacted]. Gloves and mechanical arms cause SCP-████-1 to heat up. Highest temperature recorded was 90 degrees Celsius.
