Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a high-security vault at Site-57. Testing is only to be done with Level 4 Clearance or higher. While an SCP-XXXX-1 instance is active, SCP-XXXX should be considered Euclid. Testing chambers for SCP-XXXX-1 must be sealed by airlock for the duration of the test.
If an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 attempts to breach containment, Interview Log SCP-XXXX-G is to be played over all speakers on Site-57. Once an Expulsion Event begins, the area SCP-XXXX-1 is loose in is to be sealed off until it's expiration.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an ornate, black cigar case with space for up to 5 cigars. SCP-XXXX has the image of a crab on the front, embossed in silver. This image is also on the cigar bands of each individual cigar. Currently, the case contains 3 cigars.
When an individual removes and smokes a cigar from SCP-XXXX, they become an instance of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 instances lose all visible colouration and assume the persona of a Mafia Capo, identifying themself as Joseph Prassepi. SCP-XXXX-1 instances have the ability to produce a large number of objects through anomalous means, including Tommy guns, grenades, knives, alcoholic drinks and others. These objects display no anomalous properties of their own.
Though removing the cigar from an SCP-XXXX instance returns the person to normal, the smoke from the cigars contains anomalously high carcinogenic properties. Breathing in the smoke causes the body to quickly develop several tumours
Item #: SCP-YYYY
Object Class: Ark
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-YYYY is to be contained in a large rat enclosure within Level █ of Site-██. The rat population is to be tagged and monitored; if it falls below 10, additional rats should be provided as necessary. If it rises above 50, young and healthy rats should be removed and sold as pets. Food should be provided twice-daily through an automated feeder.
The entranceway to SCP-YYYY's chamber is to be protected with an anti-memetic veil, a metal detector, and an ID and facial recognition scanner. Only personnel directly interacting with SCP-YYYY are to be allowed within its chamber. All other personnel are to be turned away by reasonable means. When personnel are done working with SCP-YYYY, they are to be given mild amnestics to remove the knowledge of SCP-YYYY's location.
Psychologist Dr. Lee to help with SCP-YYYY's mental state.
Description: SCP-YYYY is a small ornamental crown. Though SCP-YYYY appears to have once been gold-coated, numerous scratches have damaged its veneer, revealing the iron beneath. Many parts of SCP-YYYY show signs of significant corrosion.
When any member of the Rattus genus comes into contact with SCP-YYYY, they will be compelled to move their tails to be in contact with it. When their tail makes contact, it will bond with SCP-YYYY, causing the creature to be overtaken by SCP-YYYY's consciousness. This process can occur repeatedly, even after other creatures are bonded, creating a "hive mind". These states have been designated SCP-YYYY-ρ, where ρ represents the number of bonded rodents.
SCP-YYYY-ρ instances possess the ability to influence other rodents close to them. Both the range in metres, and the total number of rodents SCP-YYYY-ρ can influence, can be approximated as the square of ρ, though there are small deviations. Affected rodents enter a trance state, and are under the complete control of SCP-YYYY-ρ. SCP-YYYY-ρ has shown the ability to coordinate itself
SCP-YYYY-ρ instances below SCP-YYYY-5 struggle to move around, due to the weight of SCP-YYYY's core frame. Even higher instances may suffer locomotion issues, depending on the arrangement of bonded Rattus. In both cases, SCP-YYYY generally relies on dominated rats to aid in its movements.
SCP-YYYY's hive mind is childlike, timid and shows signs of paranoia-induced stress, but it can both understand and write English to a limited. It claims to be hunted but is reluctant to share the name of its pursuers.
Recovery Log:
Security Log from Site-5. Discussion between Security Chief Adrian Keel and the current watchtower team.
Keel: Watch Towers, report in. Let's start with North.
North: Uh… it's been pretty normal, but uh, there are a few rats around, Chief. And squirrels.
Keel: Alright. Agent East, report.
North: Uh-
East: Nothing to report, ma'am.
Keel: Nothing is good, never forget that. Two quiet sides is good. South?
North: W-wai-
South: Same as always, Chief. It's a big-ass cliff, ain't nobody comin' up this way unless they can walk up walls or come in aircraft.
Keel: Listen, South, you signed up for this. Besides, you haven't been up there - that - long.
North: But guys, I wasn't-
South: Keel, I once sketched this entire canyon at an after-work party. While drunk. I've been up here too damn long.
Keel: South-
North: Um, Commander, you don't-
West: Whoa, what the fuck is at your tower, North?
East: Huh?
Keel: What's happening?
East: Lessee - uh, whoa. There's some kinda red-brown mass at the base of North Tower. North, the fuck is that?
North: It's… rats. L-lots of them. And squirrels. I think I saw a beaver in there, too.
Keel: I guess it was too much to ask for a normal day…
South: Can I leave my post to look?
Keel: Stay at your posts. North Tower, do you believe it's an anomalous event? Are they hostile?
North: Maybe? Uh- wait, they're arranging themselves.
West: It looks like they're making words. I rel- I requ…est? East, North, can you see the rest?
East: "Asylum". With two Ls. I request asylum?
North: Yeah.
South: Come on, can't I take a squiz?
Keel: Shut up Sam. Hold your posts, I'll go grab the quacks.
Closing Statement: The swarm of rodents was found to be lead by SCP-YYYY-103. SCP-YYYY was promptly contained. 98 of the rodents who were part of SCP-YYYY-103 died in the next 24 hours, most due to brain haemorrhages.
Document SCP-YYYY-A

Addendum SCP-YYYY-Alpha
On 1/3/2020, Dr. Andrew Lee was assigned to act as a psychiatrist for SCP-YYYY. SCP-YYYY
Item #: SCP-YYYY
Object Class: Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-YYYY's remains are to be stored in a containment locker on Site-57. No other containment procedures are necessary.
Footage from incident SCP-YYYY-Omega leading to SCP-YYYY's neutralization has been recorded for future analysis, as well as training purposes.
Description: SCP-YYYY was a small ornamental crown made of iron, with a chipped golden veneer. After incident SCP-YYYY-Omega, SCP-YYYY's form was warped heavily due to both heat and blunt trauma. SCP-YYYY possessed the ability to dominate rodents; that ability has since been lost.
Incident SCP-YYYY-Omega:
On 22/3/2020, two anomalous individuals attacked Site-57, with the intent to neutralize SCP-YYYY. More than 50 members of staff were injured or killed during the attack.
Two Persons of Interest were identified as participants. PoI 708 was as a man dressed in a black suit and Fedora.
A partial log of events is below.
7:06 PM: SCP-YYYY-5 is observed typing at the keyboard.
7:08 PM: The two anomalous individuals pass through the defences to SCP-YYYY's Chamber. SCP-YYYY-5 sees them and immediately begins to run towards the back of the enclosure.
7:09 PM: The male assailant anomalously produces a Tommy Gun from his coat, shooting into the enclosure. One of the rats attached to SCP-YYYY is shot and killed.
7:10 PM: SCP-YYYY-4 attempts to escape down a rat hole. The male assailant attempts to grab SCP-YYYY-4, but is unsuccessful. PoI 709 stomps on SCP-YYYY's keyboard, crushing it.
7:11 PM: PoI-XXXX pushes a large glass bottle into the hole SCP-YYYY escaped into. He then produces more bottles, and plugs other holes in a similar manner.
7:14 PM: PoI -XXXX approaches the last remaining hole, producing a large canister of gasoline. He then pours it into the hole, igniting the fuel once the canister is emptied.
7:15 PM: The rats enter into a panic. Several burning rats escape out of the hole, only to be shot by PoI-XXXX.
7:17 PM: One of the bottles is dislodged by SCP-YYYY-2, with both bonded Rats burning. SCP-YYYY has also melted slightly. SCP-YYYY-2's movements are erratic and uncontrolled.
7:06 PM: The car begins to drive up the cliff - a sheer vertical climb. Alarm is raised that the Site is under attack.
7:07 PM: The car reaches the top of the cliff, and continues driving up the Site's outer wall, cresting it and landing on the other side. Two individuals can be identified in the footage: a man in a black suit wielding a tommy gun, and a woman wearing a golden coat in the driver's seat, step out.
7:08 PM: The car continues to drive around and through the
