Object ID: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held in a 5m3 cell made of 5cm thick lead, with a specialized decontamination room connected to SCP-XXXX's cell via an 8cm thick vault door. SCP-XXXX must be suspended upon a 2.5m tall pedestal in the center of it's enclosure in order to maximize effectiveness of the cell against SCP-XXXX's secondary effect. SCP-XXXX must be watered 3 times per hour, at precisely [hour]:17, [hour]:36, and [hour]:53.
All personnel who interact with SCP-XXXX must wear a minimum of level 3 bio-hazardous protective gear to avoid exposure and must have a minimum of level 3 psychomemetic resistance. All Personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX must have weekly psychological evaluations.
Any personnel that is infected by SCP-XXXX must be terminated immediately, and the body disposed of using pyro-based disposal methods(see Addendum XXXX-2). Any personnel who fail the psychological evaluation will be given class A amnesics and will be transferred after a 12 hour observation period.
Addendum XXXX-1: Contact with SCP-XXXX is restricted to class D personnel. If the amnesic does not work, the personnel in question is to be terminated as a safety precaution due to Incident XXXX-1.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a vase of 12 roses each cut to exactly 32cm tall. SCP-XXXX is known to produce spores hereafter known as SCP-XXXX-A if not watered at the designated times. SCP-XXXX-A is able to infect any biological entity through any contact with said entity. All infected individuals must be terminated immediately using pyro-units to neutralize all traces of SCP-XXXX-A. SCP-XXXX-A begins to affect any infected individuals immediately, causing extreme pain in the area of contact with SCP-XXXX-A(see Observation Report XXXX-1). After forty-five minutes, roses will begin growing out of all orifices.
These roses do not appear to be an extension of SCP-XXXX, and seem to simply be normal roses. Test subjects DXXXX-1 and DXXXX-2, were exposed to and killed by SCP-XXXX-A(see Observation Report XXXX-1). They were then examined by Dr. R██████ and Dr. K██████. Postmortem revealed that rose vines had replaced the veins in both subjects and the cause of death in both subjects had been the flowering of roses in the subject's heart, lungs, and brain.
Addendum XXXX-2: 2 hours after the autopsy, a large portion of SCP-XXXX-A ejected violently from the corpses of subjects DXXXX-1 and DXXXX-2, resulting in the infection, and subsequent termination of ██ on-site personnel. Pyro-based disposal methods neutralizes this effect. Request to move SCP-XXXX to an isolated facility is currently pending.
SCP-XXXX's secondary effect is to emit high frequency sound that affects any sentient minds, drawing them in and creating an urge that has been described by subjects as the desire to interact with SCP-XXXX "at all costs." The sound seems to pass though most objects. The only material that blocks the high frequency sound seems to be a lead box. lead walls paced a minimum of 2.0m away from SCP-XXXX, and at minimum 4.5cm thick. Anyone effected by SCP-XXXX's secondary effect will go to any lengths to reach to SCP-XXXX. Class B amnesics prove to be effective when attempting to counteract SCP-XXXX's secondary effect. Class A amnesics prove to be effective in only 46% of cases to neutralizing the secondary effect of SCP-XXXX.
Addendum XXXX-3: Due to the decrease in effectiveness of amnesics, SCP-XXXX containment procedure's may need to be updated if the Class A amnesics effectiveness decreases beyond acceptable levels.
Secondary Reports:
Incident XXXX-1:
Date:██/██/19██
Location: Site ██
Classification of Incident: Attempted Breach of Containment Event (A.B.C.)
Synopsis of Incident: An A.B.C. event occurred at Site #██, when Sgt. E██████ attacked on site personnel in an attempt to reach the cell of SCP-XXXX. Sgt. E██████ seemed to be in a state of psychological distress, screaming wildly and had to be terminated by on-site personnel.
Description: During his off-time at 16:34, Sgt. E██████ attacked suddenly, killing a security officer with a make-shift dagger and taking the officer's firearm. Sgt. E██████ then made his way towards SCP-XXXX's containment enclosure, screaming the words "The smell, the smell, I need the sweet scent. Let me in, I will smell them! You can't stop me!" Standard firearms proved unaffected against Sgt. E██████ for unkown reasons. Use of anti-material rounds were authorized by Site Director. At 16:48, Sgt. E██████ was terminated by security personnel using anti-material rounds. Site Director placed Site #██ on high alert for 24 hours in case of any other A.B.C. events.
Result: SCP-XXXX remained contained, and the Site Director authorized update of containment procedures.
Observation Report XXXX-1 - ██/██/19██
Observing Personnel: Doctor L. S█████
Subjects: DXXXX-1(36 Year Old Female) and DXXXX-2(28 Year Old Male)
Procedure: Test subjects will enter containment room at 14:15 without any hazardous protection gear. Subjects will remain in the chamber to determine the short and long term effects of SCP-XXXX-A.
Results:
[14:15]: Begin test.
Subjects enter containment room.
[14:17]: SCP-XXXX is not watered.
[14:18]: A burst of SCP-XXXX-A is released by SCP-XXXX. Subjects attempt to avoid SCP-XXXX-A
[14:19]: Subject DXXXX-2's arm makes contact with SCP-XXXX-A. Upon contact the subject immediately begins screaming in pain.
[14:20]: Subject DXXXX-2's skin appears to begin to bubble. Screaming continues. SCP-XXXX-A now impossible for DXXXX-1 to avoid. Upon contact with SCP-XXXX-A subject DXXXX-1 also begins screaming. Switching to infrared cameras to monitor visuals due to density of SCP-XXXX-A.
[14:21]: Subject DXXXX-2 drops to the ground, only movement that remains is small twitching. Screaming continues from both subjects.
[14:22]: Subject DXXXX-1 drops to ground in a similar manner as DXXXX-2. Screaming continues.
[14:27]: Screaming from both subjects stops..
[14:29]: Density of SCP-XXXX-A begins decreasing rapidly.
[14:31]: SCP-XXXX-A seems to be absorbing into the test subjects.
[14:34]: All traces of SCP-XXXX-A is completely cleared from the room.
[14:36]: Standard watering personnel enter room and complete watering procedure.
[14:53]: Standard watering personnel enter room and complete watering procedure.
[15:04]: Roses are seen sprouting from mouth and ears of DXXXX-2.
[15:04]: Roses are seen sprouting from mouth and ears of DXXXX-1.
[15:17]: Standard watering personnel enter room and complete watering procedure.
[15:30]: End Test.
Conclusions:
SCPXXXX-A is extremely painful on contact with skin but does not seem to effect the ability for those infected to move. This may be to promote the spread of SCPXXXX-A, but there is not enough evidence to support this theory at this time.
Addendum Obsv-XXXX-1:
Previous theory about the victims spreading SCP-XXXX-A seems correct due to the expulsion of SCP-XXXX-A after the autopsy of the test subjects.
Observation Report XXXX-2 - ██/██/20██
Observing Personnel: Researcher K. L████
Subjects: DXXXX-3(41 Year Old Male)
Procedure: DXXXX-3 will attempt to remove one(1) rose from the vase SCPXXXX is in. If there is no adverse effect, DXXXX-3 will attempt to damage SCPXXXX by separating a flower from it's stem using a standard pair of office scissors.
Results:
[14:01]:
Subject DXXXX-3 enters SCPXXXX containment area.
Subject pauses at SCPXXXX's vase.
[14:02]:
Researcher L████: DXXXX-3 proceed with the test.
DXXXX-3: What happened to the other 2? If I'm 3, what happened to 2 and 1?
Researcher L████: You do not have the security clearance for that information. Proceed with the test DXXXX-3. Do we need to remind you what will happen if you do not cooperate?
DXXXX-3: Fine. Bastards.
Subject quickly pulls out a single rose hereafter known as SCPXXXX-1.
25 Seconds pass with no effect.
[14:03]
Researcher L████: Continue with the next phase of the test.
DXXXX-3: It's not working.
Researcher L████: Please clarify what you…
DXXXX-3: I said it's not fucking working! The scissors aren't cutting the flower. You happy now?!
Researcher L████ contacts support staff for acquisition of different testing device
[14:04]
DXXXX-3: Well! What's going on?!
[14:07]
A security agent enters the room wearing proper hazard protection gear with a box containing a hardened hand saw.
Security officer places box on floor and leaves the room.
Researcher L████: Open the box and resume this phase of the test with the enclosed instrument.
[14:08]
DXXXX-3: Is this a fucking saw? What are you getting out of this?
Researcher L████: Continue with the test.
DXXXX-3: Fine.
DXXXX-3: There, it's work…
At this point a large amount of SCPXXXX-A is expelled from the incision made by DXXXX-3.
DXXXX-3 begins screaming.
[14:10]
SCPXXXX-A disperses.
Security team enters with flamers.
Researcher L████: Please place SCPXXXX-1 back into SCPXXXX's vase before disposal.
Leading team member does so.
DXXXX-3 is disposed of.
End test.
Conclusions
SCPXXXX seems to have a danger response system in order to deal with predators. It is the recomendation of Researcher L████ to discontinue this line of testing without the authorization of level 4 personnel of higher who are familiar with SCPXXXX.
