SCP-4000 "Death Scythe"
Object Class: Euclid
Containment Procedures: SCP-4000 is to be kept in a safe, in a 4x4m locked room. There must be (2) guards posted outside at any given time. Only personnel with level (3) clearance or higher may request access to SCP-4000, and for testing purposes only.
Description: SCP-4000 appears to be an old scythe used for cutting foliage. The blade is rather dull and the handle is unpolished. When a human subject makes contact with SCP-4000 (henceforth known as SCP-4000-2), they undergo several mental and physical changes. These include: no of recognition of other human beings (regardless of how well subject knew them previously), greater height, decreased width, loss of weight, sullen and shallow eyes, and much more bony frame. In spite of these physical changes, SCP-4000-2 will be both stronger and faster then SCP-4000-2 was before handling SCP-4000. It should also be noted that SCP-4000-2 will then become incredibly violent to any living beings near it, wielding SCP-4000 as a weapon.
Addendum:
Subject D-■■■■ picks up SCP-4000.
Subject exhibits changes detailed above.
SCP-4000-2 kills nearby guard.
A ghost-like apparition floats out of guard's body and into SCP-4000 (thought to be the guard's [REDACTED]).
SCP-4000-2 terminated.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: No special containment is required, a locked room is reccomended for purely security related reasons.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a black mask, resembling a plague doctor mask from the 1400s. SCP-XXXX only demonstrates it's anomalous properties when worn by a living subject of any species that the mask fits. When worn, SCP-XXXX makes the wearer immune to any form of disease, and cures any disease(s) the wearer is currently afflicted with. How SCP-XXXX does this is currently unknown, as X-ray scanning has shown it to be structurally indifferent to a typical plague doctor mask of the same period. SCP-XXXX may be used when necessary for interaction with SCP-094 by researchers (see addendum).
Addendum:
SCP-XXXX was found in medieval ruins, in ███, Europe.
So far, SCP-XXXX has been able to cure subjects of every ailment tested so far, from the common cold, to SCP-008.
Interviewed: SCP-049
> Interviewer: Dr Rodney
> Foreword: Dr Rodney, who has been assigned to SCP-049 previously, interviewed SCP-049 while wearing SCP-XXXX. Rodney was to act as though he was a patient.
> <Begin Log, 2012, March, 07 >
> Dr Rodney: Hello, SCP-049. Do I require treatment?
> SCP-049: Hello, good sir. I have seen you before, and I had sensed the pestilence within you. However, I do not sense it within you now. If I may implore, what is the significance of wearing that mask in this interview? It is of the same style as mine.
> Dr Rodney By style, do you mean appearance?
> SCP-049: Yes. By what other way would I mean? And who was the one to cure you of the disease? Does it have something to do with that mask?
> Dr Rodney: It is an experimental item that cures the pestilence, the appearance was inspired by you. We needed your expertise to see if we were successful.
> SCP-049: You flatter me, sir. I would still think my cure is more effective, however.
> <End Log>
> Closing Statement: It appears that SCP-049 does not have a connection to SCP-XXXX, or if he does, he either is hiding his connection to it, or is not aware of it. It also appears that SCP-XXXX heals the wearer of whatever "the pestilence" may be. - Doctor Rodney
SCP-XXXX may be used for future testing and interviews with SCP-049, however the inclusion of SCP-XXXX must be logged.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX must be kept in a locked, soundproof room. Once every 48 hours, SCP-XXXX must be safely fired from a firearm by a class D personnel, and then put back into containment.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a white, sentient, indestructible egg. SCP-XXXX will scream loudly at any nearby living organism, (regardless of species), and will command said organism to load and fire SCP-XXXX from a gun. If there is no nearby organisms to scream this command at, SCP-XXXX will teleport to the nearest one. If SCP-XXXX is not fired from a gun after 48 hours, it will duplicate itself and create another two copies. However, the copies will not scream about being fired from a gun. Instead, they will scream about two random, different, projectile launching weapons. These other weapons are random, and the copied instances will have the same properties as the original. If either copy is not fired after 24 hours, it will create four more copies. These copies will have the same properties as the first three, however, they must be fired after 12 hours, or they will create 8 copies (each). This means that if left alone for a long enough period of time, we could have billions of SCP-XXXX instances, with billions more after every passing second; acceleration could increase to the point where instances of SCP-XXXX are so numerous that they can not be disposed of (see addendum) at any helpful rate, and the volume of SCP-XXXX instances screaming destroys the sound senses of every life form on Earth, driving much of the human population insane, and severely threatening the survival of the human race.
Addendum:
Sometimes, there is a messup in the duplication process, and one of the resulting SCP-XXXX instances will come out non-indestructable. Strangely, these defects seem to scream the loudest, and have reportedly rolled after subjects that run away from them. While these defective instances can still fit in whatever weapon they scream about, they tend to explode violently when the weapon is primed, filling internal workings with pieces of egg.
SCP-XXXX was recovered from a farm site in ███, Texas, after reports of possesed demon eggs were sprouting up throughout the city.
It is unknown how SCP-XXXX fits into a firearm, much less all firearms, but those looking at it being loaded confirm that SCP-XXXX indeed fits into the chamber.
So far, there has only been one way discovered to dispose of a SCP-XXXX instance, and that's by using SCP-101.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
> Interviewer: Dr Andre
> Foreword: Dr Andre decided to make an attempt at interviewing SCP-XXXX. After deciding against wearing hearing protection, (due to a fear he would be unable to hear SCP-XXXX's responses) Overseer ████ informed him that if he did not wear hearing protection, the interview would not be allowed to take place. Dr Andre complied, and wore hearing protection.
> <Begin Log, April, 09, 20█>
> Dr Andre: Hello SCP-XXXX, I am-
> SCP-XXXX: SHUT UP! LOAD ME INTO A GUN AND FIRE!
> Dr Andre: I'm afraid that-
> SCP-XXXX: I MAKE AN EXCELLENT PROJECTILE! STOP WASTING YOUR TIME AND FIRE ME FROM A GUN!
> Dr Andre: I'm sure you do. Now, if-
> SCP-XXXX: SHOOT! ME! OUT! OF! A! GUN!
> Dr Andre: SCP-XXXX, would you plea-
> SCP-XXXX: (Unintelligible screech that shattered the recording cameras. When slowed down later, the outputted audio revealed the screech to be the words: "SHUTUPANDFIREMEOUTOFAGUN")
> <End Log>
> Closing Statement: Ear protection was not good enough… - Dr Andre
No further interviews with SCP-XXXX are to be conducted until further notice.
