The Shadowed Armour

SCP xxxx

Class: Safe Keter

Containment procedures: SCP xxxx is to be kept inside a containment with No lighting Bright lighting placed to the left of SCP xxxx, Personnel within 100 meter's of SCP xxxx Must keep individual and no more then 3 people are allowed to occupy a single room. Should more then 3 personnel enter a room within 100 meter's of SCP xxxx then MTF are to dispatch the most recent occupant of the room.

Description: SCP xxxx is a black suit of Armor, located outside of [Redacted] within a local cave, SCP xxxx came to the interest of SCP when several reports were gathered of cave explorers were disappearing within the cave, one survivor was found when an MTF squad were deployed to investigate the cave under the detail that they were doing safety checks on the cave. The subject was unable to talk at the time, however were anle to guide the MTF squad to SCP xxxx before collapsing and dying of previously unseen laceration to the subjects Back. SCP xxxx was then took and returned to Site [Redacted] for further testing.

SCP xxxx's anomalous power was then discovered after 1 month of testing in which 2 of the researchers and 1 MTF squad member were killed, see incident report xxx for more detail. SCP xxxx manifests itself via event-1 in which 4 people within 100 meter's of SCP xxxx will become examples of SCP xxxx-1. SCP xxxx-1 will gain a new shadow, the shadow looks to be only one fourth of a shadow and further inspection suggests that it is a shadow of SCP xxxx, examples of SCP xxxx-1 are subconsciously brought closer together suggesting a memetic effect. Should the four instances of SCP xxxx-1 contact each other physically then event-2 will occur, event 2 is the four SCP xxxx-1's will start bleeding heavily from their orifices' before the blood collected on the floor will build up and create an instance of SCP xxxx-2. Note: It is possible for subjects to bleed to death during event 2 although this has shown no effect on SCP xxxx-2.

SCP xxxx-2 is an exact replica of SCP xxxx with the exemption that it is now observed to be sentient and to now have access to a large sword or battle axe, although this wont be used unless attacked, it will only have one of the two weapons and there appears to be no relation to environment and the weapon it chooses. It is also sentient and will seek SCP xxxx and upon coming in contact Event-3 will occur in which personal within Site [Redacted are advised to evacuate or to Hide.

Event-3 is classed as a cognito hazard as any subject who should enter within 10 meter's of SCP xxxx-2 will involuntarily freeze and when seeing SCP xxxx-3 will start chanting in a language other then our own, further testing has not revealed what language they are speaking. Event-3 appears to be able to be stopped should enough force be exerted onto SCP xxxx-3. Through further experiments it appears that Event-3 can be prematurely stopped if SCP xxxx-2 does not come in contact with SCP xxxx.
