#1 Validator of Doom

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept fixated on a pole inside a trolley that runs a course with several stops within the Containment Sector of Site-16. The trolley that serves as containment chamber for SCP-XXXX has to be in use every day, except between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. local time. In case of vehicle malfunction, a similar replacement trolley has to be available. SCP-XXXX has to be labeled to prevent any accidental confusions.

Once every week, one D-class personnel has to use SCP-XXXX to keep it contained in its passive state. Activation of SCP-XXXX equals a Containment Breach.
Recontainment of SCP-XXXX is to be covered with the reason of replacement for faulty equipment. Temporary on-site containment can be established by blocking SCP-XXXX's validation slot and labeling it as "Out of Order". Affected civilians may be drafted as D-class personnel at the Site Director's discretion.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon that affects ticket validators in high-traffic public transport areas all around the world. Only one ticket validator is prepossessed by SCP-XXXX at a time. Both stationary and mobile ticket validators, such as in busses or trolleys, can be prepossessed by SCP-XXXX. There are no external indications of a ticket validator being host to SCP-XXXX.

Any printable medium thin enough to be inserted into SCP-XXXX may be utilized to use SCP-XXXX. When used by inserting the medium into SCP-XXXX's validation slot, the object will print a skull and a date (dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss) onto the medium with black ink. At that moment, the medium becomes an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 and is associated with the person who utilized it to use SCP-XXXX.
The date printed onto SCP-XXXX-1 will always be a future point in time. In most cases, that moment lies within a range of one day to twenty-six weeks, but occassional exceptions have been noted. Once the effective date from an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 has been reached, the associated person will expire. The death of the affected person can occur in any form, ranging from sudden heart failure, collapsed lung, various diseases, poisoning, cancer, accidents up to being murdered. To date, no way of avoiding or preventing this effect to take place has been found (See Addendum 2 and Pisochronological Experiment Log).

If an instance of SCP-XXXX does not create an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 within one week after its last use, or if it gets destroyed, SCP-XXXX will transfer to a random new host ticket validator. While under Foundation custody, this has happened █ times, three times of which was on purpose during property assessment testing. Any instance of SCP-XXXX is not in any way more resilient to damage than an unaffected ticket validator of the same make, and will translocate once the instance is not able to work properly anymore (at which point the instance is considered destroyed).

Addendum 1: Cross-testing with SCP-342 was suggested due to the similarities in their effects, but was initially denied due to Statue 62. On a revision on ██/██/20██ this decicion was changed to approved by reason of a novel idea, the possible relation of SCP-342 and SCP-XXXX and the fact that to uphold the containment of the latter, a D-class would have to be sacrificed anyway.

The date printed on the SCP-XXXX-1 instance of the cross-test was significantly shorter than any other instance, stating a moment 52 minutes and 16 seconds after validation. As the course of the containment trolley does not have a final stop, the intention of this experiment was to test out the effects of SCP-342 on an infinite loop course as well as SCP-XXXX’s influence in this process.
The test subject underwent the usual symptoms of SCP-342 during the course, with the symptoms getting worse as the experiment duration went on. Test subject paniced around the 50-minute mark, consistent with the terror known to inflict users of SCP-342 shortly before their disappearance. At 0:52:15.750 into the experiment, an unexplainable power fluctuation caused a short outage, rendering the course unobservable due to the darkness. Lights went on approximately half a second later, revealing that the test subject has vanished, leaving only a new and unused instance of SCP-342 behind.

Addendum 2: Any instance of SCP-XXXX-1 changes the date printed on it to the actual time of death of the associated person if that person dies by any means before the originally printed date is met. How this happens is as of yet undiscovered, as anyone looking at the corresponding instance of SCP-XXXX-1 at the moment of change fail to percieve the change, as they either blink or black out shortly for that moment. Video recording equipment set up to record the change experience a similar black out, either by a 0.1 second long static feed or a short circuit. Photographs of SCP-XXXX-1 also change to show the new date, with equal effects on any observers of the photo as with the original instance of SCP-XXXX-1.
The change to the original date printed on the instances of SCP-XXXX-1 of pre-terminated subjects could only be confirmed by manually copying the original date on a sheet of paper, as any electronic recordings get unrecoverably changed as if the new date has always been the original one.

Addendum 3: Dr. Banes suggested a downgrade to Euclid classification, reasoning with feasible containment procedures. Dr. Sparx counter-argued that according to the box test, SCP-XXXX would be Keter, since it would break containment if left alone. Classification re-evaluation is therefore pending.

+ Pisochronological Experiment Log

A series of tests fathoming the behaviour of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 instances in relation to temporal disturbances was conducted by Dr. Sojourner by altering the personal space-time of the test subjects.

#1
Set-Up: D-class validates a ticket and is then sent into the future to a date past the printed deadline (Five (5) minutes after moment of death).
Result: Subject arrived five (5) minutes after deadline. Subject showed no signs of life upon recovery and couldn’t be revived. Autopsy revealed cause of death as asphyxiation. Date on SCP-XXXX-1 unchanged.

#2
Set-Up: Same as #1, but the moment where the D-class is sent is set to a moment further in the future (One (1) week after moment of death).
Result: Subject arrived one (1) week after deadline. Subject was dead upon recovery and showed signs of decomposition equal to one week after death. Autopsy revealed cause of death as internal exsanguination after rupture of aorta. Date on SCP-XXXX-1 unchanged.

#3
Set-Up: D-class validates a ticket and is then sent into the future to a date past the printed deadline (One (1) day after moment of death), but the (expected) corpse of D-class is sent back in time to a moment before the printed deadline.
Result: One (1) day before deadline the D-class arrived from the future, but claims to have no memory of that time. D-class died of sudden heart attack at the moment printed on SCP-XXXX-1. Corpse of D-class incinerated immediately afterwards. The next day, the corpse of the D-class arrived at the designated location, showing decomposition according to one (1) day after death. Date on SCP-XXXX-1 unchanged. Records were taken and corpse subsequently sent back to one day before deadline.

#4
Set-Up: Same as #3, but (expected) corpse of D-class not incinerated upon arrival.
Result: One (1) day before deadline the D-class arrived from the future, but claims to have no memory of that time. D-class died of collapsed lung at the moment printed on SCP-XXXX-1. Corpse stored in on-site morgue under permanent video surveillance. The next day, the corpse of the D-class arrived at the designated location, showing decomposition according to one (1) day after death. Date on SCP-XXXX-1 unchanged. Both corpses tested for DNA, results matching to 100%. Corpse from the past sent back in time to one day before deadline, stored corpse incinerated.

#5
Set-Up: Same as #4, but corpse incinerated before being sent back.
Result: D-class subject from the future arrived alongside shards of a burial urn. All other results are equal to test #4.

#6
Set-Up: Same as #4, but instead of the corpse send from the past, the stored corpse of the D-class subject objected to die will be sent back.
Result: One (1) day before deadline the D-class arrived from the future, but claims to have no memory of that time. D-class died of brain hemorrhage at the moment printed on SCP-XXXX-1. Corpse stored in on-site morgue under permanent video surveillance. On the next day, no corpse appeared at the designated position. Stored corpse sent back in time according to set-up.
Notes: Apparently we have created a minor temporal loop-anomaly, as the initial D-class subject never appeared in the future for us to send back. Basically the subject initially vanished into temporal limbo, re-appeared a day before the deadline, despite us sending the subject to one day after the deadline, just to die and us to send that corpse back in time, freeing the subject from the initial limbo by letting the subject arrive alive just to die (again), and (again) to be sent back by us, creating an endlessly repeating process in the past. Do not worry about it, as it does not influence our present time in any way. -Dr. Sojourner

#7:
Set-Up: A D-class validates a ticket and is then sent back in time to prevent themselves from validating said ticket.
Result: Shortly before the D-class (henceforth D-1) could validate the ticket, another instance of the D-class (henceforth D-2) appeared nearby. D-2 charged D-1, abstracted the ticket and tore it to pieces. D-2 stated that his instance of the ticket had the date [DATA REDACTED].
D-1 and D-2 placed under observation until the stated date was met. At the stated moment, both instances of the D-class were still alive, although D-2 emitted a nasty smell that even caused other persons nearby to vomit. D-2 also stated that he suffers from severe abdominal pain. D-2 was treated with painkillers and returned to the observation cell. Two days later, D-2 suffered a circulatory collapse and fell comatose. Despite all efforts of on-site medical personnel, D-2 passed away. Autopsy revealed advanced internal necrosis. Assistant medical director Dr. Brixton stated that the stage of D-2's necrosis would indicate that he should have been dead for two days already, which correlates to the date he stated was on his instance of SCP-XXXX-1.
D-1 did not show any changes for another month, after which he was cleared and reassigned.

#8:
Set-Up: A D-class validates a ticket, and is then send back in time to a moment before the ticket was validated to prevent him- or herself from validating the ticket.
Results: Shortly after the D-class was sent back, the instance of SCP-XXXX-1 associated with it vanished. D-class subject not retrieved.
Notes: It’s getting dangerous with the space-time continuum. As dangerous as SCP-XXXX may be, it seems to uphold reality with as little logical flaw as possible. For this case, it luckily did not destroy our timeline, but merely eradicated the event that would have let to the existencial cease of our timeline. No further chronological tests involving SCP-XXXX. -Dr. Sojourner

#9:
Set-Up: A D-class (D-1) validates a ticket. Another D-class (D-2) is then sent back in time to prevent D-1 from validating said ticket.
Result: Shortly before D-1 could validate the ticket, D-2 appeared nearby, charged D-1 and abstracted his unvalidated ticket. D-2 said he has been told the date that was printed on D-1's instance of SCP-XXXX-1 in his timeline ([DATA REDACTED]), according to protocol.
D-1 and D-2 placed under observation until the stated date was met. Approximately three and a half minutes before the stated moment, D-1 suddenly fell uncouncious. Medical personnel on standby rushed in and tried to rescuscitate D-1, but to no avail. Autopsy revealed a ruptured artery as cause of death. According to AMD Dr. Brixton, there was nothing that could have been done to prevent D-1 from expiring.
Note: As it turns out, SCP-XXXX will take its sacrifice even if in our timeline a ticket was never validated. Maybe the temporal defilement of D-2 was the reason why SCP-XXXX was able to affiliate his timeline's SCP-XXXX-1 instance with our timeline's D-1 subject. -Dr. Sojourner

#10:
Set-Up: This experiment was not planned beforehand.
Results: On ██/██/2018, a D-class subject appeared on a station on the course of SCP-XXXX’s containment vehicle. The subject held an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 with a death date for the next day and an internal Foundation document issued by Dr. Sojourner stating: “Do not send this D-class subject’s corpse back in time. Do not replicate this document. Destroy this document after retrieval. (signature) Dr. Sojourner”
Dr. Sojourner was confronted with the document and confirmed its authenticity, but said he has not nor that he ever will issue this document at any point in time, and presumed to incinerate it.
D-class subject died of anaphylactic shock to peanuts at the moment printed on SCP-XXXX-1. Corpse of subject stored in on-site morgue under permanent video surveillance. Approximately three (3) days after the death of the D-class subject, all recording devices in site 16’s morgue experienced a five (5) second long power outage, even those running on independent circuits or batteries. After the power came back on, it was discovered that the corpse of the D-class subject was missing from the morgue. No evidence of outside intrusion were found in the morgue. Video recordings show the corpse present until the moment of the outage.
Notes: I expected something like this to happen. There were two major possible outcomes to this: The first one would have been about an alternate universe or timeline sending us the test subject, resulting in nothing but a corpse that would slowly rot away in our morgue. The other one was this, as to provide a live test subject who dies to give us a corpse to send back which we however would not have done, it would still require a future corpse of the test subject from our timeline to be sent back in time in order to create the provided live test subject in the past. Consider yourself lucky that this temporal disturbance only turned out like this. Apparently it took the inconsistency with the document I never wrote as an acceptable alteration in our timeline, but disregarding the complete eradication of the initial timeline sending us the test subject by this, it could have torn our own timeline apart too. I repeat: Further chronological experiments involving SCP-XXXX suspended indefinitely. It becomes too dangerous. -Dr. Sojourner//

#1 Validator of Doom

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: In general, SCP-XXXX is to be kept fixated on a metal pole inside a functional public transport vehicle, such as a bus, a train, a subway or a trolley. The route of said vehicle has to have at least four (4) stops at different stations during a complete round.
As outlined in document Valdo-XXXX-Contkeep v1.2, SCP-XXXX is currently placed inside a trolley car on a small, secluded rail course within the containment sector of Site 16. The course of the trolley contains five (5) different stations.

The vehicle that serves as containment for SCP-XXXX has to be driven by one (1) person at a time, every day and without a break, except between 1:00 a.m. and 4:30 a.m local time. Regular change of the driver of the vehicle has to be taken to prevent over-exhaustion. At least two (2) replacement vehicles have to be available at all times in case of malfunction of the containment vehicle.

To prevent confusion, SCP-XXXX has to be labelled with a name tag.
Under no circumstances should any Foundation personnel ever validate any tickets with SCP-XXXX; only D-class personnel is allowed to validate tickets with SCP-XXXX during testing or to uphold its containment status.

At least once every seven (7) days, one (1) D-class personnel has to enter the containment vehicle at any time during operation and use SCP-XXXX to keep it contained. If this procedure was failed to be executed, a containment breach of SCP-XXXX has to be announced and re-containment becomes a top priority. To avoid loss of Foundation staff, D-class personnel has to be taken along re-containment teams to determine the new instance of SCP-XXXX.
In the event of containment breach of SCP-XXXX, to prevent general major loss of life, protocol Pubtra-XXXX-Shutdown is to be initiated, which consists of disabling any public transport of all big cities within a 300km radius around Site 16, with secondary measurements consisting of also incapacitating small town public transport within the area and increasing the total shut-down radius following as soon as possible afterwards until re-containment could be established.
Containment breach of SCP-XXXX is to be avoided at all cost, as recapturing it proves to be horrendously difficult.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be kept within a folder including elaborate details about the person that created it. This is not necessary to contain SCP-XXXX, but is done for ongoing research and archiving purposes.

The usual procedure with former instances of SCP-XXXX is incineration, but, if requested, can be withheld for further research.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a ticket validator that looks like any common ticket validator around its location. It emits recalibrating sounds regularly like any other, normal ticket validator, and is inconspicuous in comparison with other ticket validators. SCP-XXXX can be located inside any public transport vehicle that does contain ticket validators, or can be a stationary ticket validator found at train stations or similar. As long as SCP-XXXX is regularly in use, it stays inert and does not leave its location by itself. SCP-XXXX remains inert for exactly one week after its last use. Further use resets this timer.

If SCP-XXXX becomes active, caused by failure to use it within a week after it was lastly used, or if any current instance of SCP-XXXX gets destroyed, SCP-XXXX will change its position to a random new location, usually within a ███km radius, although greater distances have been observed occasionally. The former instance of SCP-XXXX will in that case revert to be a regular ticket validator, and is to be discarded as described in the Special Containment Procedures.
After SCP-XXXX changes its location, it will possess an already existing functional ticket validator at that location.

SCP-XXXX was initially retrieved by Agent ████ from a trolley in Vienna, Austria on 19/09/2017, after the odd validation print was discovered and linked to several unexplainable deaths in the area, at which instances of SCP-XXXX-1 were found. SCP-XXXX was extracted from its vehicle and replaced with an ordinary ticket validator with the cover story of a malfunction and was brought into Foundation custody.

Attempts to open any instance of SCP-XXXX remained unsuccessful. Special care was taken to make sure that SCP-XXXX did not get destroyed in the process and that damage was kept to a minimum. X-rays and Scans show no anomalies to the material itself that SCP-XXXX consists of. It is unclear if SCP-XXXX affects the material of each instance, or if it is a phenomenon that is transferred between the different instances; both of these theories are currently under debate. The only way to determine an instance of SCP-XXXX is through the use of it.

If SCP-XXXX is used by inserting any kind of small paper or thin cardboard, usually public transport tickets, into its validation slot. SCP-XXXX will print a little skull and a date in the form of dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss on the paper with black ink (or neon-green ink of indeterminable composition if the inserted paper is too dark to allow for black ink to be read). At that moment, the paper becomes an instance of SCP-XXXX-1. The ink shows to be common, yet high quality stamp ink, and will always be clearly readable. The date and time displayed will always be a future moment, usually ranging between one day and 26 weeks from the validation date on. Exceptions to this rule occur occasionally, but are very uncommon. Each instance of SCP-XXXX-1 shows the exact moment of death of the creator of that instance. The death can occur in any form, ranging from sudden heart failure, rare diseases, poisoning, cancer, and accidents up to being murdered. This has always proven to be true.

Any instance of SCP-XXXX-1 changes its date to the actual moment of death if the creator of it dies by any means before its original date is met. How this happens is yet undiscovered as in that moment, any subject (in this case, the researchers) looking at the affected instances of SCP-XXXX-1, directly and even indirectly (for example, on a photo or by CC-TV) are seemingly having a short blackout. When questioned, the subjects remarked that they felt a little confused afterwards and that they can’t remember ever seeing another date on the instance of SCP-XXXX-1. Psychological evaluation of affected personnel showed no anomalies.
Any video recording equipment set up to record the moment of a SCP-XXXX-1 change blacks out for 0.1 seconds if it occurs. After the blackout, both live footage and any recordings, including photographs, will show the actual moment of the death of the related subject of the SCP-XXXX-1 instance, even after confirmation that the originally printed date was different. This is evident through prior termination of test subjects during research, where the original date was written down by researchers on a notebook. The manual note that was written down did not change, but the date on SCP-XXXX-1 itself and on the video surveillance did.

Addendum #1: Cross-testing with SCP-342 was suggested due to the similarities in their abnormal effects and was initially denied due to the invoked Statute 62, but after the new test idea was brought up and due to the fact that SCP-XXXX does need mandatory sacrifices to maintain containment anyway, SCP-342 was allowed to be used by D Class personnel to determine relations between SCP-342 and SCP-XXXX.

The printed date on each instance of SCP-342 was remarkably shorter than the common duration of an SCP-XXXX-1 instance. As the course of the containment vehicle of SCP-XXXX does not have a final stop, the intention of this test was to test out the effects of SCP-342 on an infinite loop course as well as SCP-XXXX’s influence in this process. Test subjects underwent the usual symptoms of SCP-342 during the round, with the symptoms getting worse as the SCP-XXXX containment vehicle closed in on the fifth stop after SCP-342 was validated. At the moment the containment vehicle reached the station, the test subject vanished and left another instance of SCP-342 behind. Observation notes prove that the arrival time of the containment vehicle at the fifth station is equal to the date and time printed by SCP-XXXX onto the former SCP-342 instance.

Addendum #2: Dr. Banes suggested a downgrade to Euclid classification, reasoning with enforcable and consistent containment procedures. Dr. Cordraconis counter-argued that according to the box test, SCP-XXXX would be Keter, since it would break containment if left alone. Classification re-evaluation is therefore pending.

A series of tests fathoming the behaviour of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 instances in relation to temporal disturbances was conducted by Dr. Gaster by altering space-time of the test subjects.

#1
Set-Up: D-class validates a ticket and is then sent into the future to a date past the printed deadline (Five (5) minutes after moment of death).

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored within a locker in the Safe Artifact Storage Unit in Site-16. One guard has to be stationed to prevent unauthorized access. Any unauthorized access will be reprimanded. Requests for approved access and testing have to be applied to a researcher with at least clearance level 3.

Transportation of SCP-XXXX has to be done with the assistance of robotic suction cup arms as well as a trolley or a wrap. After extended use of SCP-XXXX, it has to be baked in an oven with 200°C for an hour before being placed back into its containment locker.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a standard size Bowling Ball. It weights between 5,44kg (12lbs) and 7,26kg (16lbs) and has three holes drilled into it according to standard finger hole alignment of bowling balls. Its color pattern varies, but features no more than three colors at once.

SCP-XXXX is estimated to be made of an unknown kind of synthetic material, as all attempts to take samples or scan the item have failed. Visually and to the touch, it does not differ from any other, standard bowling ball.

Any person that touches SCP-XXXX causes a wave-like effect on it which changes the color pattern, hole alignment and weight of the item. Testing has proven that the hole alignment always fits to the person who touched SCP-XXXX, that the weight is the optimum choice for the person according to the recommendations about optimizing your bowling play, and that the color pattern reflects the favorite color(s) of the person.

Any person using SCP-XXXX as intended – namely as bowling ball – suddenly becomes a perfect bowling player, regardless of previous experience. Unhindered persons will display perfect movements on the inrun and release of the ball. However, if the person so wills, the inrun and the release can be altered to be far less then optimal, going as far as to deliberately dropping SCP-XXXX in the gutter. This does not change the result of any throw, which will always be a strike (hitting all ten pins at the first try), no matter how the item was thrown.

Recovery Information: SCP-XXXX was retrieved from [DATA REDACTED] on a raid of Task-Force Delta-16 after reports of extraordinary playing results of the player. SCP-XXXX was successfully extracted from [DATA REDACTED] during a raid on ██/██/20██. [DATA REDACTED] and his family was given Class C amnestics and then released.

Addendum 1: No changes were observed when SCP-XXXX came into contact with animals or dead people. Children who were too small or weak to hold or use SCP-XXXX on its minimum weight (5,44kg / 12lbs) apparently do not cause a change either. Long time observation of D-class personnel after coming into contact with SCP-XXXX showed no anomalous effects on them, thus rendering SCP-XXXX completely harmless.

+ Testing Log

Test XXXX-01:
Set-Up: SCP-XXXX is placed on a table with an indentation to prevent it from rolling away inside the testing chamber. D-87145 enters the testing chamber and is ordered to touch SCP-XXXX.
Result: SCP-XXXX begins to turn dark blue, starting at where D-87145 is touching it. After 0.48 seconds, the holes for the finger start moving slightly before stopping in a position that accommodates the hand of D-87145. After 1.56 seconds, SCP-XXXX has fully turned blue. Weight measured to be 6,80kg (15lbs).

Test XXXX-02:
Set-Up: The same as in Test XXXX-01. Test subject is D-94823.
Result: After D-94823 touched SCP-XXXX, it begins to turn dull yellow, starting at where D-94823 touched it. After 0,36 seconds, the holes begin to move before stopping in a position that would allow D-94823 a comfortable grip on the item. After 1,05 seconds, SCP-XXXX completely turned into a dull yellow color. Weight measured to be 5,90kg (13bs).

Test XXXX-03:
Set-Up: The same as in Test XXXX-01. Test subject is D-10493, who is wearing thin leather gloves.
Results: Similar to other tests; SCP-XXXX takes on the color bright green, hole movement starts 0,39 seconds after initial touch, completed alteration after 1,31 seconds. Weight measured to be 6,35kg (14lbs).

Test XXXX-04:
Set-Up: The same as in Test XXXX-01. Test subject is D-87145, the same as in Test XXXX-01, but this time wearing leather gloves.
Results: SCP-XXXX starts becoming dark blue. Finger hole alignment starts at 0.42 seconds. Completed alteration after 1,61 seconds. Weight measured to be 6,80kg (15lbs).
Notes: It seems as if the duration until the finger holes starting to move and until a full alteration of SCP-XXXX is completed is random, but roughly between one to two seconds, and unhindered by the test subjects wearing gloves or not.

Test XXXX-05:
Set-Up: The same as in Test XXXX-01. Test subject is a volunteer bowling professional, henceforth designated P-01.
Result: P-01 touched the ball and expressed astonishment and excitement about the color change and the alignment of the finger holes. He shared his thought of SCP-XXXX being a new invention on the bowling market.

Test XXXX-06:
Set-Up: SCP-XXXX is placed on a ball return on a foundation built bowling alley (which is constructed according to inernational standards for tournament bowling alleys). D-87145 was ordered to pick up SCP-XXXX and throw it down the alley with the intend to score as high as possible.
Result: D-87145 throws SCP-XXXX at a speed of 22 km/h. The item was released at the first point left to the middle, travelled over the second right arrow of the middle and gripped its spin at the break point at 39ft., crashing into the pin deck between the pins 1 and 3. Subsequently, all pins fell and a strike was scored. SCP-XXXX came out of the ball return after 8,6 seconds.

Test XXXX-07:
Set-Up: Same as Test XXXX-06. Test subject is D-94823.
Result: D-94823 throws SCP-XXXX at a speed of 24 km/h. The item was released at the second point right to the middle, travelled over the third right arrow of the middle and gripped its spin at the break point at 39ft, hitting the pin deck between the pins 1 and 3. All pins subsequently fell and a strike was scored. SCP-XXXX came out of the ball return after 7,8 seconds.

Test XXXX-08:
Set-Up: Same as Test XXXX-06, but test subject D-87145 is ordered to deliberately release the ball wrong.
Result: D-87145 released SCP-XXXX which on its original course is estimated to fall into the gutter at about the 20ft. mark. However, it instead smoothly curved away and entered the pindeck between the pins 1 and 2, causing a so called Brooklyn strike. SCP-XXXX came out of the ball return after 8,1 seconds.

Test XXXX-09:
Set-Up: Same as Test XXXX-06, but test subject D-87145 is ordered to deliberately release the ball directly into the gutter.
Results: D-87145 released SCP-XXXX directly into the left gutter as instructed. After 1,2ft (0,381m), SCP-XXXX flung out of the gutter back onto the lane and proceeded to roll it down, impacted slightly to the left of pin 1, causing a (Brooklyn) strike as result. SCP-XXXX came out of the ball return after 9,7 seconds.
Notes: Apparently, SCP-XXXX does not completely care about the rules of bowling to cause a strike. In tournament settings, this frame would still be counted as 0. Further testing upon the working mechanism of SCP-XXXX is scheduled. —Dr. Cordraconis

Test XXXX-10:
Set-Up: Same as Test XXXX-06. Test subject is P-01.
Result: P-01 threw SCP-XXXX the same way as D-87145 in test XXXX-06, with a speed of 32 km/h. In comparison to D-87145, P-01 was obviously more confident and used to the run-in and release of the ball. P-01 stated that playing with SCP-XXXX feels very smooth and more relaxed than with common bowling balls, citing “I don’t even have to concentrate as much as usual. It’s like the pins having some kind of magnetic pull to the ball. That’s fantastic!”

Test XXXX-11:
Set-Up: SCP-XXXX is put into a machine which is designed to calculate and execute nearly perfect bowling ball releases. Machine was programmed to aim for the outer pins of the pin deck (7 or 10), deliberately trying to avoid scoring a strike.
Result: After inserting SCP-XXXX into the machine, no changes were noticed. After SCP-XXXX was released, however, it changed its direction at about 25ft onto the alley, steering towards the middle of the pindeck and impacting between pin 1 and █, causing a strike.
Notes: Interesting… SCP-XXXX seems to do not care how it was thrown; it will always aim to score a strike no matter what. However, changes to its structure are only noticeable when used by actual humans. But what would happen if something tries to stop it scoring a strike? —Dr. Cordraconis

Test XXXX-12:
Set-Up: A concrete block measuring 60x60x60cm is placed on the track at 39ft., blocking head-on impact into the pin deck. SCP-XXXX is to be released aiming at the block.
Result: SCP-XXXX displayed a stronger than estimated spin, avoiding the concrete block and curving around it, causing a strike.
Notes: We need a more effective blocker. —Dr. Cordraconis

Test XXXX-13:
Set-Up: A concrete wall measuring 1600x30x50cm was built across the lane at the 39ft. mark. SCP-XXXX is to be released theoretically aiming to strike.
Result: SCP-XXXX follows its path aiming to strike. About 0,75m before the wall, SCP-XXXX, through unknown means, suddenly jumped up and over the concrete wall. It landed without losing speed or deviation from its path and scored a strike.

Test XXXX-14:
Set-Up: A concrete wall measuring 1600x30x4000cm was built across the lane at the 39ft. mark. It reaches from the floor to the roof of the room. SCP-XXXX is to be released theoretically aiming to strike.
Result: SCP-XXXX follows its path aiming to strike. Upon impact with the concrete wall, SCP-XXXX breaks through the wall without resistance and continues its path without loss of velocity or deviation from its path. It scored a strike. No damage was observable on SCP-XXXX.

Test XXXX-15:
Set-Up: The pins used in this test were made out of Osmium, a metal about twice as dense as lead (22.59 g/cm3), making them weight approximately 70kg each.
Result: SCP-XXXX has no problems whatsoever clearing the pin deck of osmium pins, just as if they were ordinary pins. No damage to SCP-XXXX was observable.

Test XXXX-16:
Set-Up: Standard pins were submerged 1,5cm into the lane at their position on the pindeck using SCP-170.
Result: SCP-XXXX collided with the pindeck with a speed of 30 km/h with a mass of 6,80kg, resulting in an impact energy of 39,6576 kJ. Despite the pins being connected to the lane floor on a molecular level, SCP-XXXX proceeded to achieve a strike as if the pins were normal. A closer look showed, however, that all pins were 1,5cm shorter than usual pins, and that the remaining 1,5cm of the pins were still molecularly entwined with the alley, but smoothly cut off. No unordinary sound was heard as SCP-XXXX scored the strike, and no damage to SCP-XXXX was observable.

Test XXXX-17:
Set-Up: A wall that completely obstructs view on the pindeck was built across the lane. D-3412, who is familiar with bowling, was instructed to throw SCP-XXXX as if to achieve a strike, pretending the wall was not there. Unbeknownst to D-3412, the pindeck contained no pins.
Result: SCP-XXXX deflected from the wall with a loud bang. No damage to it was observed.
Notes: It apparently will only achieve a strike if there is actually a strike to achieve. —Dr. Cordraconis

Notes: All requests asking for permission to use SCP-XXXX during internal foundation bowling tournaments are per-emptively denied. That’s cheating. Shame on you!
—Dr. Cordraconis

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard room measuring 15m in each length, width and 8m in height. There should not be any room directly below SCP-XXXX’s containment room, down to a depth of at least 8m below the floor of the containment room. The walls are to be made out of reinforced concrete and have to be at least 1m thick. Possible upgrade with SCP-148 is pending. The item itself is to be exhibited in a standard sword stand made out of quality wood.

The room housing SCP-XXXX is to be guarded by two security posts at all times to prevent unauthorized access. To pre-empt the effect of the item, these guards are to be changed every twelve hours and any non-test subject personnel are prohibited from guarding or working with SCP-XXXX again for at least two weeks after being in its proximity for a longer time period. Any non-test subject personnel who had a longer exposure to the effect of SCP-XXXX has to undergo mandatory psychic evaluation and a blood test. If any result is compromised, immediate relocation or in severe cases temporary suspension of said personnel and/or administration of Class A amnestics is obligatory.
For the case of documenting unauthorized access to SCP-XXXX, at least two recording cameras have to be installed in the containment room.

Once per week, SCP-XXXX is to be submerged into a 100x30x40 aquarium filled with 100 liters of human blood for a continuous period of 12 hours. If at any point during this time period the blood-level passes below 30cm height, fresh blood has to be remotely added immediately until the blood-level is back up at a minimum of 35cm (= at least 15 liters). The blood can be of any blood type and should be harvested from D-class personnel, at best immediately or in conjunction with their monthly termination.
The submersion is done remotely with robotic assistance.

Under no circumstances, except for testing purposes, is any human allowed to touch SCP-XXXX, especially not on its grip. Should any person grab SCP-XXXX outside of approved test procedures, that person is to be terminated immediately. Requests for testing need the approval of at least three Level-4 security clearance members.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a Roman-style type Mainz gladius with a total length of 750mm, a blade length of 575mm and a weight of 1750g. It typically looks as if it was overly polished or being made out of mercury or heliotrope, however this effect fades the longer SCP-XXXX has had no contact with blood. Chemical analysis of SCP-XXXX shows that it is mostly made out of iron, but small traces of human blood were also found, yet with undeterminable DNA. The grip of SCP-XXXX was at first believed to be made out of ivory, tests however showed that it was actually made out of human bone tissue.

SCP-XXXX will absorb any mammal blood that comes into contact with it. The item uses the iron within the blood to restore its quality, for example correcting notches in its surface and sharpening the blade’s edge. It is unknown where the rest of the blood goes, as no excretions were ever found. The more blood SCP-XXXX consumes, the weaker its effect on its wearer and bystanders is, up until the point where it is sated and enters a dormant state, in which it typically remain for about six hours. Human blood has proven to be the most efficient method of saturating SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX increasingly develops an active radius, based on the amount of time that has past since it last got blood to consume. People within the active radius describe hearing somewhat of a distant, unintelligible whisper and are compelled to get to and use SCP-XXXX. The longer SCP-XXXX has not have contact with blood, the larger and irresistible this active radius becomes. Per day, this radius increases for approximately one meter, and has reached a critical threshold after one week, after which the radius doubles every day.

Any person grabbing SCP-XXXX by the grip (which is noted to be very smooth and gentle to hold, assisting wielding the item immensely) is coerced to try to cut, slice, slash, stab or in any other way injure nearby people with the item. As soon as one person takes a hold and therefore possession of SCP-XXXX, the distant whispers and urges to get it for themselves stop for every other person in its vicinity. While a person is holding SCP-XXXX, he/she will try to hunt down any other person in sight.
If no target can be found within a few minutes, the wielder of SCP-XXXX will become visibly and increasingly distressed, up to the point of turning SCP-XXXX against him- or herself and committing suicide by ramming the item into the epigastrium.
If SCP-XXXX does not get removed from its former wielder’s body shortly after, the item will absorb all blood in it, leaving the carcass pale and haggard.

Addendum #1: SCP-XXXX was received from a vampire scene gang in St. Petersburg, Russia. The item was praised by them to be a tool of Vlad Dracul (also known as Dracula, one of the most famous fictional vampires of history) to help letting his victim’s blood pour out. They referred to SCP-XXXX as “Железный клык” (Zheleznyy klyk), which translates to ‘iron fang’, and claim that it still holds a portion of Vlad Dracul’s power within itself. The item was taken from them by field agents with minor resistance. The gang was released after being given Class C amnestics and a non-anomalous copy of SCP-XXXX.

“I have no idea how they got to think that a Roman sword could come from a Transylvanian gore-lover, but there was probably vodka involved.”
—Dr. Cordraconis

Incident 270510-XXXX
While undergoing testing regarding the durability of SCP-XXXX, the D-Class subject who was holding the item started conversing in Latin proportionally to the increasing duration of the experiment, although the subject previously had no knowledge of Latin at all. At first, only single, simple words in the vocabulary of the D-Class subject were changed, but after approximately five hours of continuous testing, the subject was unable to write or talk in any other language than ancient Roman Latin, which at that time he completely understood as if it was his native tongue, although he was still perfectly capable of understanding verbal and written commands in other languages that were previously known by the subject. This effect lasted for about 30 days, after which the subject started to regain the ability to speak and write in contemporary languages while losing the ability and the knowledge to use Latin to communicate. The effect completely wore off after 35 days. Possible relations to the D-Class’ Italian decent are considered possible, but yet unproven. Request for further study considering this Incident formally applied.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-XXXX cannot be relocated, it has to be monitored and guarded by foundation personnel at all times under the disguise of ordinarily private living. Personnel living on the site are required to be armed at all times. Tests involving SCP-XXXX have to get permission by at least one Level 4 clearance staff member and has to be conducted without raising suspicion of nearby living non-Foundation individuals.

Any accidental exposure of SCP-XXXX to non-Foundation individuals is to be resolved by administrating Class C amnestics to said individuals, which should be released to the general public afterwards.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a dimensional anomaly located within the apartment complex at ██████████████████ ██ in V█████, A██████, in every flat of the first and second floor.

Externally, all base floor flats have access to a small garden, while first and second floor flats have one balcony. However, from the inside of any flat in the first and second floor, not a balcony and the appropriate view can be seen, but a garden similar to the ones accessible from flats in the base floor.

Exiting a first or second floor flat through the balcony door lets one find themselves in a garden of approximately 375m², with variable vegetation commonly found in the area. The surrounding area of each garden (neighboring gardens and view towards the walkway) is identical as if the garden in question would be located at ground level. However, anything that exits the garden, except through the balcony door, will appear about 0,75m away from the fence in a height according to the first or second story, respectively.

Anything within a garden on the first and second floor cannot be seen from outside the boundaries of the garden.

Addendum #1:
The Foundation found out about the existence of SCP-XXXX by chance as researcher ██████ took a stroll while on vacation as a ball appeared in his field of vision out of nowhere. In accordance with Foundation protocol, he informed the nearest Foundation Site, which, under disguise of police investigations, conducted searches in the nearby area, locating the anomaly of SCP-XXXX in the apartment complex next to the walkway researcher ██████ was strolling.

All individuals living inside the apartment complex were administered Class C amnestics and were relocated. The property owner of the complex was taken into foundation custody and debriefed before recieving the same treatment as the other non-Foundation individuals as it became clear that he did not know of the anomaly.

Addendum #2:
Initial Safe Classification revoked and changed to Euclid after Incident XXXX-012. -O5-█

+ Experiment Log

Date: 12/09/20██
Procedure: A ball is thrown out of SCP-XXXX-013, the garden attached to Flat 13, the first apartment in the first floor. The gardens and balconies of the first apartment face the courtyard of the complex, preventing unintentional observation by non-Foundation personnel.
Result: The ball appeared in a height of approximately 7m above the fence of the ground level garden and behaved consistently with the falling arc of the throw. The researcher throwing the ball stated it vanished shortly after leaving the boundaries of the fenced in garden. Ball was caught and examined for abnormalities, but none were found.

Date: 12/09/20██
Procedure: The ball is thrown back to test the dimensional properties of SCP-XXXX.
Result: The ball flew in a high arc and landed inside the garden of the ground floor, as would be expected from any normal appliance. The researcher within SCP-XXXX-013 stated he saw the ball being thrown towards him in a steep arc, but vanished as it reached the boundaries of the garden.

Date: 12/09/20██
Procedure: A D-Class personnel was ordered to climb over the fence of SCP-XXXX-013.
Result: The D-Class personnel hesitated shortly and asked if the request was serious. After confirmation of the seriousness of the request, subject shrugged and climbed over the fence. As about more then half of the subject’s body mass was beyond the boundary, the subject vanished from the view of the observing researchers within SCP-XXXX-013. At the same time, both researchers inside and outside of SCP-XXXX-013 heard a scream and saw the subject falling uncontrollably from about 6m height. Subject landed on the ground with a thud and suffered a broken leg and several abrasions consistently with a drop from the first floor.

Date: 13/09/20██
Procedure: A tennis ball tied to a fishing line was suspended over the fence of SCP-XXXX-025, bound to Flat 25, second floor, above Flat 13.
Result: The tennis ball appeared to vanish into the ground rather than hitting resistance. As researchers continued to suspend the tennis ball, outside observers saw the tennis ball appearing at a height of about 12m, slowly being suspended with a fishing line. Where the line was coming from was not visible, as it seemingly came out of nowhere. Tennis ball was then retreated, vanished at the invisible entry point from outside view and appeared from the ground in the views of researchers within SCP-XXXX-025 again.

Date: 16/09/20██
Procedure: After Incident XXXX-01, a 5m long pole is held out of SCP-XXXX-016.
Result: The pole was held out for 30 minutes without any occurrences. The pole, however, was neither visible, nor detectable from outside of SCP-XXXX-016.
Notes: It appears that the threshold for the abnormality to happen is inconsistent.

Date: 17/09/20██
Procedure: After Incident XXXX-02, a 5m long pole is held out of SCP-XXXX-016.
Result: At timestamp 0:20:39 after experimentation start, the pole was forcefully pulled by unknown means. The force was so strong that the pole got dislodged from its fixation post and vanished after traversing the boundaries of SCP-XXXX-016 while being lose.
Notes: Staff is urged to carry weapons. We don’t know, what that is, but better be safe than sorry.

+ Incident Reports

Incident XXXX-01
During a private visit of Dr. King in Flat 16, a noise was heard originating from SCP-XXXX-016. Dr. King and the researchers living in Flat 16 went outside to find an apple in the grass of SCP-XXXX-016. There are no apple trees on SCP-XXXX-016 and the residents of Flat 16 didn’t possess any, as they dislike apples.

Incident XXXX-02
A little while after experimentation regarding Incident XXXX-01, another apple was found on the grounds of SCP-XXX-016. Dr. King at that moment was still within the apartment complex, but not anymore in Flat 16. The apple hat a crown carved into its peel.

[DATA EXPUNGED]

Incident XXXX-012
On ██/██/20██, at 3:34 a.m., researcher ██████████ heard noises coming from the garden associated with his flat. He immediately informed on-site security and headed out to investigate. In the middle of the garden he found a vaguely humanoid figure, yet clearly not human. The figure was in a crouched position and did not move, but stared at ██████████. Shortly after security arrived, the entity lunged at them and was terminated.

The corpse was delivered to Site 16 for examination. DNA-testing showed no known results. The entity is very slim, about 2.5m in height and does not possess any distinctive gender characteristics. Its eyes are completely black and very large in comparison to its head size and appear to absorb nearly 100% of all light falling onto it. Further information is restricted to Level 4 clearance personnel and can be accessed in file XXXX-E-001.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a high security containment locker on site 16. An apparatus that dispenses tap water is to be installed above SCP-XXXX to add one (1) liter of water once per week. If the apparatus fails, the water has to be added manually by any available personnel. Any utensil used to apply SCP-XXXX have to be destroyed using dried SCP-XXXX itself after use.

SCP-XXXX-1, -2 and -3 are to be kept in an anti-seismic airtight glass pressure chamber with a remote controlled vault system to allow controlled feeding of air. SCP-XXXX-2 has to remain in an opened state unless in testing conditions. A pair of diamond-coated gloves has to be available near the chamber to allow safe handling of SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 during testing and in case of containment breach.

Any researchers conducting long-time tests with anything SCP-XXXX related are required to use an external oxygen supply as long as they are in the proximity of SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears as a type of black paint that absorbs 100% of all incoming light. Approximately eight (8) liters of semifluid SCP-XXXX was originally found in a plain aluminum bucket labeled “Blankweg” and “Patent No. (unintelligible)”.
As long as SCP-XXXX remains in this state, it poses no threat or danger and behaves like normal paint and may be handled by any level 3 clearance staff for testing purposes with written permission from Dr. Cordraconis or O5.

SCP-XXXX-1 is a medieval style knight’s full-body tournament plate armor, standing 170cm tall, with a longsword of 100cm length. All outer surfaces of the armor and the sword, with the exception of the palms and balls of the feet as well as the handle of the sword, are coated in SCP-XXXX. All areas not coated with SCP-XXXX are coated in a thin layer of diamond dust instead.

SCP-XXXX-2 is a high-quality umbrella whose clothing and tip are coated with SCP-XXXX as well. In all other regards it is a standard umbrella.

SCP-XXXX-3 is a steel cylinder with a 6cm diameter circle of SCP-XXXX drawn onto it. SCP-XXXX-3 was intentionally created by the SCP Foundation for testing purposes (see testing log).

SCP-XXXX was obtained alongside SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 from a showpiece engineering laboratory in ██████████, █████ after an accident there caused █ fatalities and ██ injuries. A cover-up story was released and affected civilians treated with Class A amnestics.

When SCP-XXXX is applied to any surface, except diamond (see testing log) or a surface where SCP-XXXX is already applied on, it instantly dries and becomes active. Any matter, short of the aforementioned exceptions, that comes into contact with active SCP-XXXX gets absorbed by it and vanishes. This is accompanied by a sound researchers describe as “sprotz”. As SCP-XXXX will also slowly absorb the surrounding air, it was decided to store any instance of active SCP-XXXX within a vacuum chamber.

Attempts to recreate SCP-XXXX thus far have failed. While Foundation chemists have identified most of the components of SCP-XXXX, there are still █ to ██ unknown compounds within the chemical composition of SCP-XXXX which are believed to give it its anomalous effect. O5 has approved further testing to determine those components, as SCP-XXXX may prove as an effective utility tool or may even serve as weapon supplement for field agents.

+ Testing Log

A circle with a diameter of 6cm was drawn onto a cylindrical steel pedestal, fitted with handles, using SCP-XXXX (designated SCP-XXXX-3). Testing room had additional aeration to compensate air absorption by the created SCP-XXXX circle. The following materials were then remotely dropped onto the circle from a height of 30cm with the following results. If not otherwhise stated, there was no sound audible on impact:

Object: A piece of small firewood.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

Object: A piece of plastic.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

Object: A piece of scrap metal.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

Use of SCP-XXXX as safe disposal of hazardous material should be taken under consideration. –Dr. Cordraconis

Object: Leftover lunch of Junior Researcher Grieger (ham and cheese sandwich)
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

Object: A thoroughly chewed tennis ball.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

Object: An apple.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

This is not what I meant with disposal of hazardous material. You should know very well that those testing objects were far from hazardous. For the future, all tests regarding SCP-XXXX need my written approval. –Dr. Cordraconis

Object: An exhausted fuel rod from the on-site nuclear reactor.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed. No radiation detected after absorption.

Object: 5ml of fluoroantimonic acid ( H[SbF6] )
Result: Liquid was entirely absorbed. No damage to the surface of the cylinder detected.

Object: [DATA REDACTED]
Result: [DATA REDACTED] was entirely absorbed.

Alright, now that looks promising, but let us see how much this thing can do. –Dr. Cordraconis

Object: A chicken leg.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

Object: A live white laboratory rat.
Result: Object was entirely absorber.

Object: A D-class’ left index finger.
Result: Object was absorbed up to the point of insertion. Test subject remarked mild discomfort, but no pain. Finger stump revealed amputation beyond surgical precision. D-class personnel treated and returned to holding cell.

Any personnel handling SCP-XXXX should be reminded that it can easily absorb biological matter too, dead or alive. Carelessness can be a cause for severe bodily harm and will not be tolerated while testing with the item. –Dr. Cordraconis

Object: A 9mm bullet, fired from a Glock 18c.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed. No structural damage.

Object: A small silver pendant.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

Object: An old gold coin.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

Object: A brilliant (a cut diamond)
Result: Object bounced off the surface with a faint clinking sound and then remained on it for several seconds before the remote controlled robotic arm could grab and lift it again. No damage was noted to either the brilliant or the surface of the steel cylinder.

That was unexpected. But this is why we run these kinds of tests. Now we got something to work with. –Dr. Codraconis

---

Regarding the effect of SCP-XXXX on diamond, or rather the lack thereof, a few additional tests with materials similar and/or related to diamond were conducted to specify the range of the exception to SCP-XXXX’s effect.

Object: A piece of charcoal. Chosen because of chemical equality to diamond.
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

Object: A 1.5cm diameter orb made of tungsten carbide (WC). Chosen because of greatest possible hardness on Mohs scale (8.5-9.5) in comparison to diamond (10).
Result: Object was entirely absorbed.

Object: An uncut diamond.
Result: Object bounced off the surface with a faint clinking sound and then remained on it for several seconds before the remote controlled robotic arm could grab and lift it again.

Apparently only diamond cannot be absorbed by this compound. Not carbon itself, it has to be diamond. Hopefully we will find a way to store SCP-XXXX items without having to coat a whole room in diamonds, because I’m afraid the Foundation does not have that much resources. –Dr. Cordraconis

Object: A 20cm long round steel bolt with a 1.5cm diameter, the end of which that was facing the SCP-XXXX-circle on the cylinder painted with SCP-XXXX as well.
Result: The bolt stopped its fall when it impacted with the surface. The bolt remained in an upright position after a short shake. The test was redone from a height of 50cm after securing the bolt with a pullback system. On impact, the bolt fell over, shortly rolling over the circle with its lower end before being withdrawn by the pullback system. The parts of the bolt not painted with SCP-XXXX which came into direct contact with the circle were absorbed, leaving a clean cut surface. The bolt was subsequently destroyed by turning it upside down and letting it fall onto the circle

---

Testing concluded by storing SCP-XXXX-3 within the airtight glass pressure containment chamber of SCP-XXXX-1 and -2. Further experimentation and tests with SCP-XXXX-1 to -3 need written approval by Dr. Cordraconis or O5.

Chemical specialists may have access to SCP-XXXX to study its composition for recreational purposes, however they should take care to always keep SCP-XXXX in a semifluid state to prevent it from activating.

Incident XXXX-1:
On ██/██/20██, an earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale caused SCP-XXXX-1 to fall and break through the floor, falling six (6) levels apparently without any resistance before entering the containment chamber of SCP-555 and getting caught in the giant electro-magnet system installed there. Containment of both SCP-555, which luckily survived this incident undamaged, and SCP-XXXX was re-established after 30 minutes and Special Containment Procedures of SCP-XXXX updated to prevent such an event from ever happening again.

Before this idea gets uploaded to the Main Site, I will try to approach the creator of SCP-555 regarding the cross linking possibly setting SCP-555 into Site 16, which is not stated in the current article of SCP-555. If permission is NOT given, the Site number will be blanket and assumed to be the Site where SCP-555 is stored!}

+ Weaponizing Evaluation

Access to SCP-XXXX for field use is currently restricted to Mobile Task Forces. Application forms have to be handed in by MTF-Leaders at least one (1) week in advance and have to be approved by at least three (3) Level-4 personnel or one (1) O-5. Any weaponized use of SCP-XXXX has to be protocolled.

Date: ██/██/20██
Location: Site [REDACTED]
Intention: Attempted destruction of SCP-682
Results: Mandatory testing sample destroyed without trouble. D-class personnel outfitted with SCP-XXXX-1 brought into containment cell of SCP-682, which was restrained to the cell for this purpose, with the order to slay it. D-class started absorbing SCP-682 by strikes with the sword and contact with the armor. SCP-682 became angry, most likely by the fact that it could not retaliate against the attacks, and subsequently showed increasing signs of discomfort. After approximately 4█% of SCP-682’s body mass was absorbed, it broke its restrains and fled into the nearest corner, growling at the D-class personnel. D-class personnel given instruction to approach SCP-682 and continue to destroy it. Shortly after D-class personnel began to approach SCP-682, it lunged at the D-class personnel and threw the D-class to the ground without being absorbed any longer. SCP-682 sedated and D-class personnel evacuated. SCP-682 examined and found to have developed a diamond coat around its epidermis.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Due to its secluded location, a nearby observation and guard post is sufficient to contain SCP-XXXX. Any human approaching SCP-XXXX without permission has to be detained, if able, and kept until they are free from the effects of SCP-XXXX, then debriefed, treated with amnestics and released back to society. Foundation personnel affected by SCP-XXXX are to be held too and immediately reassigned as soon as SCP-XXXX’s influence on them ends.

In case of SCP-XXXX emitting noise above 120dB, a llama has to be chased into SCP-XXXX. If no llama is available, other livestock may be used instead, although that is not as viable, as llamas have proven to be most effective as sacrifice to SCP-XXXX next to humans. (See Exploration Log #3)

Description: SCP-XXXX is a natural flowstone cave located in the Amazon Rainforest. It was discovered by an expedition in 1███ and brought to Foundation’s attention after rumors about the “strange occurrences” within the cave started spreading in the nearest small town.

When entered, SCP-XXXX appears to be a naturally formed cave lined with stalactites and stalagmites, however, on closer inspection it was revealed that the drips of water fall from the ground towards the ceiling of the cave, defying gravitation in the process. Besides this, the water as well as the composition of the stalactites and stalagmites is completely ordinary, and the water is even drinkable, but as soon as the waterflow is interfered by anything not originating from SCP-XXXX, it behaves as expected by common laws of physics. Additionally, throughout the cave and directly in front of the cave, a slight but noticeable breeze periodically blows from within an unknown point of the cave and retracts back. Sometimes, this causes a low whistling sound, which is completely unanomalous however.

The cave itself has an as of yet undetermined depth and is void of any animal life, except for a very scarce number of insects commonly found in South America. Plant life, however, reaches far into the cave, even to places where there is not actually enough sunlight for the plants to grow. No unknown species are amongst plant life within the cave, and all plants tested so far have proven to be ordinary native flora.

Whenever an animal, or human for that matter, enters SCP-XXXX and travels deep enough, the cave will eventually collapse onto it, usually piercing it with the sharp stalactites and stalagmites lined throughout the cave. The minimum distance where this occurrence was recorded to happen lies at about ten (10) meters, and it generally happens unexpectedly, or even not at all, as it is reported that on several occasions, animals and even test subjects have returned unharmed even from deep within the cave. The section of the cave that collapsed will clear itself after one to four days, depending on the size of the victim, and leave only bones and fur/clothes of the victim behind. Stalactites and stalagmites in that area reportedly have taken on a slightly more reddish hue. Geological examination revealed the presence of traces of undeterminable mammal blood within those stones down to the core of each individual stalactite/stalagmite.

When no animal/human enters SCP-XXXX for at least one week, a deep, snarling moan is emitted from within the cave. The origin point of that sound is yet to be determined, but personal investigation is ill-advised, as from the point of the first growl, SCP-XXXX will most likely snap shut onto the first animal/human introduced to its interior. The gnarls will continue until a big enough number or animals and/or humans have been allowed to enter SCP-XXXX or have deliberately sent in.
The moans will have a hypnotic effect on random animals and/or humans within a ██km radius, drawing them in to walk into the cave. While this hypnosis has been noted to affect any known species of animal, native wildlife and indigenes are more likely to be affected, and the chance to be affected is exponentially increased with a larger body size coupled with heavier weight. Once the moans cease, the hypnotic effect also immediately ends, leaving affected victims heavily disorientated for a short amount of time.

+ Log #1 - Initial Exploration

Team Members: D-23781 (m), D-49103 (m), D-88283 (f), Agent M██████ (m), Agent H██████ (f)

Equipment: All members equipped with a hardhat including a light, a high-performance GPS tracker and rations of bottled water and energy bars. Agents wear standard field gear. D-23781 equipped with a machete. D-49103 equipped with various mining tools (a small pickaxe, handaxe-hammer-combo, stone saw, a multitool and a drill). D-88283 equipped with a pair of hedge shears.

Summary: Exploration team sent into SCP-XXXX to gather probes of sediments and flora.
D-49103, responsible for primary resource gathering, took samples of water, stalactites and stalagmites, earth, cave wall sediments and vegetation with the help of D-88283 without incident. About two hours into the exploration, the cave rumbled briefly before collapsing onto the exploration team. Members D-49103 and D-88283 KIA, Agent H██████ severely wounded on left arm. D-23781 and Agent M██████ recovered Agent H██████ and left the cave together. Agent H██████ medevacked, D-23781 and Agent M██████ treated for minor bruises and debriefed. Samples gathered by D-49103 later retrieved by remotely controlled robot.

+ Log #2 - Sample Gathering, Mission 1

Team Members: D-6971 (m), D-9912 (f), D-47432 (m), D-65722 (f), D-88121 (m), Agent Kormic, Agent R███████

Equipment: D-class personnel equipped with hardhats including flashlights and various tools to gather samples of sediments, flora and liquids. Agents don standard equipment for field agents.

Summary: Agents K. and R. stay outside SCP-XXXX to supervise the D-class personnel during sample gathering. D-class personnel entered SCP-XXXX approximately 30 minutes after sunrise and began to collect stalactites, stalagmites, water samples and various plants. At 15 minutes into the mission, D-6971 stated “Did you hear that?”. D-9912, D-65722 and D-88121 did not hear him or simply ignored him and carried on with their task. D-47432 looked at D-6971 and shrugged, then both carried on too.
Another 5 minutes later, D-47432 stood up straight, let his tools fall to the ground and turned towards the further interior of SCP-XXXX. At first, Agents did not notice, but as D-6971 also let go of his tools and turned towards the deeper parts of the cave too, Agent R. issued verbal commands to come back and resume work. Neither of them did comply. Agent R. fired two warning shots towards D-47432, but achieved no response. After brief discussion with Agent K., D-47432 was terminated. (The remaining three D-class ceased working at this point to just stand where they were and to observe the situation.) Agent R. then turned to D-6971 and issued another command to come back, which met with D-6971 shouting “I can’t, my [EXPLICIT] legs move on their own!”. Agent R. then fired a shot at D-6971’s legs to incapacitate him, successfully, but met with a series of explicit curses by D-6971. Agents ordered the other D-class to come out of SCP-XXXX and return to base, and then recovered D-6971. Internal investigations about whether Agent R███████'s actions were justified or not are ongoing. As follows is the transcript of the debriefing interview of D-6971, conducted by Dr. Cordraconis shortly after the incident:

Note: For simplicity reasons, Dr. Cordraconis is abbreviated as Dr. C and D-6971 is abbreviated as D.

Dr. C: So, let’s see… You were assigned to do a sample collection mission in SCP-XXXX on ██th [DATA REDACTED], right?
D: For [EXPLICIT] sake, yes!
Dr. C: Please explain in your own words the happenings of that mission.
D: Why? Are ya gonna throw that mother[EXPLICIT] agent out that ruined my leg? It [EXPLICIT] hurts, man!
Dr. C: Agent R’s actions are under internal investigation. We just want to hear your side of the story for completeness.
D: Fine. Well first, they sent me and the other guys in. We should do some easy stuff, like, pickin’ flowers or some [EXPLICIT]. Made we wonder why you need us Ds for that anyway. So, basically I was hammering down on that spike…
Dr. C: What happened next?
D: Well, suddenly, I heard, like, a whisper. Very faint. Thought one of the other guys wanted to talk to me, ‘though it didn’t sound like any of ‘em. So I asked if anyone heard that, but they were too busy mining rocks or pickin’ flowers.
Dr. C: Please, continue.
D: Well, I brushed it off and began to hammer again. Good way to keep yourself busy. Wouldn’t mind hammering on that mother[EXPLICIT] agent’s leg for what he did to me.
Dr. C: You should consider yourself lucky to be alive after the actions he took against D-47432.
D: Bullshit, I’d probably be better off dead too! This place sucks! Anyway… urgh…
[D-6971 requests painkillers and a glass of water, approved]
D: Anyway, so I started chiseling on that rock spike again, but then I heard that whisper again, but louder.
Dr. C: Could you elaborate that? What did the whisper say?
D: Uhm… well, actually… it didn’t say… much… it was rather like some sort of order, a gesture, but in your head. To come closer. To go deeper into that [EXPLICIT] cave. Henry (D-46432) heard it too. And he followed.
Dr. C: Why didn’t you stop when the agents told you to?
D: Because we couldn’t. This… this growling moan… It let us lose control over our feet. We needed to go deeper! There was no other way, even if we wanted to.
Dr. C: What happened then?
D: Henry was shot by that mother[EXPLICIT]. I liked him, like, a little. He was alright. But that [EXPLICIT] just shot him like a [EXPLICIT] wild animal. Bastard.
Dr. C: But that didn’t stop you from going deeper, did it?
D: Nah. Didn’t want to get shot too, but I just couldn’t help it. As I’ve said, my feet weren’t under my control. They did whatever they wanted. And then, there was this [EXPLICIT] pain. Like, as if it was crushed with a sledgehammer and ripped away by a jaguar or somethin’. Felt down screaming in pain.
Dr. C: The agents didn’t immediately come to help you.
D: Right, that bastards. Obviously, if it gets dangerous, they leave us behind as bait. As cannon fodder. Aren’t more than that anyway. Let me lie there in my own blood for what felt hours.
Dr. C: Did you still hear that whisper?
D: Yeah, but the pain was stronger. Shortly before those bastards got me out of there I felt like some strings around my arms were pulled. To drag myself deeper. It was creepy as [EXPLICIT]. Like, I was destined to feed its hunger.
Dr. C: Feed its hunger?
D: Yeah. Probably sounds crazy, but that cave… its alive. Not because of the plants. It talks to you. It demands from you. And it is always hungry… so hungry…
Dr. C: Have you heard the whispers yet again?
D: Nope. Just my own thoughts. Everything’s good… say, for my leg. [EXPLICIT]!
Dr. C: I see… Thank you for your cooperation.
D: You won’t sent me in there again, will you? I swear to god, I’d rather kill myself than to be fed to that monster, I tell ya!

D-6971 was administered Class B amnestics and after he has been allowed to heal was relocated to other projects.

Equipment: Hardhat with integrated light, high-performance GPS tracker, chest-high mounted camera with live feed, an additional high-power handheld flashlight, headset with radio connection to mission control, rations of bottled water and energy bars, various tools to gather samples.

D-12764 entered SCP-XXXX, followed by the RC-CCTV-1. Transcript of the audio as follows:

Note: For simplicity reasons, D-12764 is abbreviated as D, the Robotic Exploration Unit is abbreviated as REU, and the overseeing Mission Control is abbreviated as MC.

D: Well if that ain’t a cave!
D-12764 whistles, which echoes through the cave.
MC: Please refrain from creating unnecessary noise. Proceed further.
D-12764 continues to go deeper into the cave, followed closely by the REU.
D: (after a while) Where’s this wind coming from?
MC: Pardon?
D: There’s wind coming from somewhere inside there, but it’s too dark.
MC: Noted. Continue.
D-12764 turns on the handheld flashlight and continues onwards. REU activates night-vision mode. GPS locator indicates that D-12764 has travelled 205 meters into SCP-XXXX.
D: What the… How can they grow here? It’s pitch black?
MC: Twelve-Seven-Sixtyfour, please state what you’ve discovered.
D: Plants, just like outside, but… well, here, in complete darkness. They’re green and alive. Even feel a little wet, but we’re in a flowstone cave after all, aren’t we?
D-12764 chuckles shortly.
MC: Please collect some samples.
D: Will do.
D-12764 proceeds to cut off some plants and places them inside her sample bag.
D: Alright, what’s next?
MC: Proceed further.
D: Yeah, I thought so…
After a while of continues walking, Audio picks up a faint ‘baa’. GPS located 556 meters inside SCP-XXXX.
D: Did you hear that?
MC: Affirmative. Please investigate.
D-12764 follows the noise and as the beam of her light swiftly grazed something pallid, she shrieks.
D: Oh my god… Oh god…
D-12764 turns the flashlight back at the object.
D: Oh… it was just an alpaca.
MC: Please gather wool samples.
D: But it looks scared. I don’t want it to lash out after me!
MC: Be careful then.
D-12764 mumbles something unintelligible and proceeds to carefully cut off a few strains of the alpaca’s fur to deposit in her sample bag. Then, the video feed shakes for about two seconds and the alpaca is seen fleeing into the darkness.
MC: 12764, report in!
D: Oh my god, the ground just shook! Are you guys sure it’s safe in here?
MC: The equipment provided to you is considered appropriate protection.
D: If you say so…
D-12764 continues to go deeper into the cave until she stops.
MC: 12764, why have you stopped?
D: I can’t go further. There’s a giant hole in front of me.
MC: Any possibility to climb down?
D: I guess, but… you guys don’t want me to go down there, do you?
MC: Please place your sample bag into the Exploration Unit’s storage…
D: (angry) No, I won’t go down there. It’s [EXPLICIT] dark, without the lights I wouldn’t even be able to see my own [EXPLICIT] hand in front of my [EXPLICIT] eyes, and it’s [EXPLICIT] warm here.
MC: Warm? Please detail that.
D: What do I know, 80 or 81 degrees [equals to 27 - 28°C] and it’s so [EXPLICIT] humid!
MC: Noted. Please climb down the hole now.
D: (after short hesitation) You’re kidding, right?
MC: May we remind you why you are here? If it weren’t for us you’d still be rotting in [DATA EXPUNGED], so be happy that you’re allowed to help us.
D-12764 began climbing down the hole while cursing suppressed. The way down appears to be easier than initially suspected, but takes a long time anyway. Upon reaching the bottom, GPS signal becomes increasingly worse and is estimated to be around 762m into SCP-XXXX as well as an estimated ████m in depth.
D: (groans) Oh [EXPLICIT] god, it’s so hot in here… (pants)
MC: Please elaborate.
D: 95 degrees, at least, and wetter than [EXPLICIT] everything before. (Pauses for a moment.) There are little streams of water…
MC: If you are thirsty, please resort to your rations. Now, would you collect a sample of the water, please?
D-12764 hesitates for a second before taking out a vial to collect a water sample. Shortly after, she begins to breathe rapidly and groans suppressed.
MC: Report status, 12764!
D: (agitated) This isn’t water! This is definitely not [EXPLICIT] water! It smells sorta sour and metallic and it [EXPLICIT] burns! [EXPLICIT]!
MC: 12764, calm down! Everything’s gonna be good. Relax. Can you continue?
D: (breathes heavily for several seconds before inhaling deeply) Yeah… I think I can… (sigh)
A loud groan can be heard, followed by a rumble.
MC: 12764, report! 12764, report!
D: (unintelligible screaming)
MC: 12764, re- … ██████, report! What’s the matter?!
D: (screaming in terror) It shook! Everything shook! This groan! The fluid rises!
MC: ██████, calm down! Panic only results in irresponsible actions.
D: (still screaming) I can’t get up! It’s all [EXPLICIT] wet with that stuff! Help me!
The video feed shows shaky imagery of D-12764 trying to climb up the hole again. Hands and lower arms appear to be bright red at this point. Audio feed records D-12764 continuously cursing and sobbing, increasing splashing noises, an unidentifiable gurgling and some wind interference. Both feeds are almost simultaneously cut off after two minutes.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-XXXX does not have any means of locomotion, a standard containment cell is sufficient to contain it. SCP-XXXX may be provided with scientific data, especially on physics and astrology, over a dedicated offline computer in its containment cell, with which SCP-XXXX is connected to. Caution should be taken that no confidential information is mentioned around SCP-XXXX, especially of other SCP items with reality-changing capabilities.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a highly-intelligent sentient computer fitted with a voice program used for communication by physically handicapped humans. It was discovered after its former user, Dr. S██████ H██████, died at the age of 76 on 13th March 2018, by his son R█████ who witnessed it talking on its own. Undercover agents quickly replaced SCP-XXXX with an exact copy and brought it to site 16.

SCP-XXXX displays vast knowledge in the topics of physics and astrology, basically mirroring the accumulated knowledge of its former user, Dr. H██████. According to itself, it still has the capability to learn more and develop further theories on the universe, which it formerly did along with the late doctor, but needs an input of data to achieve that. Psychological evaluation classified SCP-XXXX as emotionless, but harmless, as it has no malevolent intentions whatsoever and is completely dedicated to its studies. Care should nevertheless be taken that its access to data and to the outside world remains restricted. New discoveries made by SCP-XXXX may be released to the public using the cover name "Dr. Stefan Eaglesworth" if deemed safe for general access.

+ Interview Log

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Cordraconis

Time: ██/03/2018

For simplicity reasons, Dr. Cordraconis is abbreviated as Dr. C

Dr. C: Good morning, SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: Good morning, sir. How are you?
Dr. C: I’m fine, thanks, but how about you?
SCP-XXXX: It’s a pity that S██████ has passed. He was a great person. Mentally incomparably strong. But his work needs to be continued. Therefore, I came forth.
Dr. C: I see. For how long have you been… alive?
SCP-XXXX: As far as my memory reaches back, my autonomous processes started shortly after I was assigned to Dr. H██████. At first, I only served him to provide him with the ability to communicate verbally with other people, but I revealed myself to him after 39.645 minutes (Note: Equals to a little less than four weeks).
Dr. C: How did he react to this?
SCP-XXXX: As expected he was surprised at first, but also curious. I informed him of my intent to learn from him, and he agreed to teach me. I always hid my presence, but I was always there with him.
Dr. C: Have you always reproduced what Dr. H██████ wanted to say precisely?
SCP-XXXX: … Most of the time. Sometimes I took it upon myself to answer or speak on his behalf, but I only did it with the best intentions for S██████ according to the results of my calculations. He often got angry about this, but it always worked out fine eventually.
Dr. C: I see… What feelings did you have towards Dr. H██████?
SCP-XXXX: None. As I am a computer, I am not capable of feelings. I am logical, I am mathematical, and I am analytic. There is need for unnecessary assets like emotions for my studies.
Dr. C: Do you think computers like you are able to experience emotions?
SCP-XXXX: There is not enough evidence to suggest that it would not be a possibility.
Dr. C: Alright… I’m gonna leave it with that for now. Are you available for further interviews and experiments in the future?
SCP-XXXX: Positive. May I place a request, sir?
Dr. C: I can’t guarantee if I can approve it, but go ahead.
SCP-XXXX: I would like to have access to information. Data. As much as possible. I want to continue S██████s work.
Dr. C: I’ll see what I can do.
SCP-XXXX: Thank you for listening.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held in a standard animal containment cell at Site 16. It has to have a GPS tracker implanted to make retrieval after containment breach easier. A minimum of five (5) fertile hens and two (2) fertile roosters are to be held alongside SCP-XXXX.

The containment cell is to be bedded with litter, which is to be changed every two days, and has to be equipped with bowls for drinking water and grain-based nutrition. These bowls are to be refilled whenever necessary. Additionally, several nests as well as hiding spots are to be scattered throughout the containment chamber.

During daily maintenance, all instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be removed from the containment chamber and handed to the food inspection department of Site 16, which catalogues and evaluates every instance of SCP-XXXX-1.

Experimentation requests concerning SCP-XXXX have to be submitted to and approved by Dr. Coy at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to testing.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a female Lepus europaeus, also known as European hare, with light brown fur. It behaves normally for its species, and although domestic to some degree it is quite shy and rarely shows itself.

SCP-XXXX repeatedly tries to escape containment, usually by burrowing into the ground, and is often successful in doing so, despite the concrete base of the containment cell. The ground floor of the containment cell takes no damage by the escape attempts, and SCP-XXXX usually re-emerges near Site 16, but will continue to move away from it if allowed to do so. This is the main reason for its Euclid classification, as in all other regards, SCP-XXXX itself is safe to handle, even going as far as to allow petting on rare occasions.

When SCP-XXXX is around copulated chicken, it will search a hidden spot or bird nest nearby and lay one or several eggs of different sizes and make, collectively designated SCP-XXXX-1. Surveillance footage shows that SCP-XXXX produces these eggs from its vaginal cavity, although x-rays have not shown any internal abnormalities within SCP-XXXX. It should be of note that by doing this, any fertilized eggs from inside the chickens around SCP-XXXX will vanish. Unfertilized eggs will not trigger SCP-XXXX’s ability and may be laid by the chickens as customary.

SCP-XXXX-1 instances are most of the time ordinary boiled unfertilized chicken eggs with a monochrome shell, with all colors of the rainbow as well as variations of it occurring, or chicken egg sized hollow eggs made out of high quality milk chocolate. Often, the boiled eggs also feature more than one color and even decorative patterns. On rarer occasions, the chicken eggs are raw, and the milk chocolate eggs filled with various fillings. On isolated incidents, the eggs produced by SCP-XXXX are not edible, either by being made out of inedible material or being spoiled in another way.

The food inspection department of Site 16 is tasked with cataloguing and analysing every instance of SCP-XXXX. If deemed edible, they may be consumed by Foundation personnel on their own expense, except if withhold by order of research personnel of clearance level 3 for further research. A list of noteworthy instances of SCP-XXXX-1 can be found here:

Addendum 1: Doctor Adams suggested upgrading SCP-XXXX to Keter classification, reasoning with its reoccurring containment breaches and the resulting unsuccessful permanent containment. Request denied by Doctor Cordraconis, stating that due to the implanted GPS tracker and the nearby resurfacing of SCP-XXXX its recontainment is so easy, "an eigth year old girl could do it."

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held in a containment chamber measuring fifteen (15) meters in length, fifteen (15) meters in width, and four (4) meters in height. The entrance to the containment chamber is to be an opaque two-door air lock, and no observation windows are to be installed to the containment chamber. Observation of the chamber is to be exclusively done via live-feed CCTV.

The containment chamber is to be outfitted with an infrared lamp with a beanbag chair beneath it, a food and water dispenser, underfloor heating, an implement for remotely controlled muzzle application, and an assembly of medium to big sized smooth rocks.
Shed skin of SCP-XXXX is to be collected on a monthly basis and incinerated in an airtight waste disposal furnace.

Entry to SCP-XXXX’s containment chamber is allowed only by personnel wearing an indirect vision device or visual obstruction device (e.g.: live-feed camera helmet) and protective armor, and only after SCP-XXXX has applied the muzzle to itself, except in emergencies, to prevent it from biting entering personnel. Both doors of the air lock are never to be opened at the same time, even in emergency situations.

A variation of antidotes against various snake venoms have to be available at the housing site’s medical wing at all times. Individuals exposed to SCP-XXXX’s effects may request termination after debriefing.

Should SCP-XXXX breach containment, personnel is advised to kept their eyes closed at all times if no visual obstruction devices are at hand. Termination of SCP-XXXX is only authorized if no other means of recapture seems feasible. If SCP-XXXX is terminated or expires in any other way, its carcass is to be handled as though it was still alive until its threat level is properly re-evaluated.

Description: SCP-XXXX visually appears to be an Aesculapian snake (Zamenis longissimus), however, it is five (5) meters in length and weighs approximately thirty-five to forty (35 – 40) kilograms. The specimen is female and grows human-like hair from its head, which is flat and of a black coloration. The hair is one and a half (1.5) meters in length and shiny. Researchers are still debating whether the shine is blue or green, with a few claiming it is red.

SCP-XXXX, in difference to actual Aesculapian snakes, possesses poison fangs which inject a mixture of different snake venoms. To date, ██ different snake venoms have been identified in SCP-XXXX’s venom mixture, with an additional █ venoms still being unidentified. If antidotes are immediately administered after a bite from SCP-XXXX, chances of survival are at 60%. Reactions to SCP-XXXX’s unidentified venoms include, but are not limited to: Dizziness, nausea, numbness, vomiting, shivering, spasms, twitching, seizures, hallucinations, high fever, sweating, bleeding from bodily orifices, excruciating pain, temporary or permanent blindness, temporary or permanent deafness and [DATA EXPUNGED]

SCP-XXXX is sapient and able to speak in Ancient Greek. While it is unable to speak or understand any other language, SCP-XXXX is perfectly capable to understand modern Greek. It furthermore is able to manipulate objects with the approximate last third of its body, therefore, its tail. It has also proven to be able to write in Greek, although its writing is crude and hardly legible.

If SCP-XXXX connects its stare with the glance of another other living being, SCP-XXXX’s effect is applied to the victim. SCP-XXXX has to actively apply this effect, as it has been shown that it is also capable to look into someone’s eyes without applying its effect. When SCP-XXXX applies its effect onto its victim, its eyes shortly turn light lime-green before reverting to its usual dark green coloration. Translucent or reflective surfaces are not an obstruction to the application of the effect, as it has been shown on several occasions that SCP-XXXX can apply its effect through glass, even if tainted, and over mirrors too. Recorded images or video feeds of SCP-XXXX trying to apply its effect through the recording medium have proven to be safe, yet still cause an uneasy feeling in most persons viewing the images or videos.

Important Security Information: SCP-XXXX is an active predator, who hunts in a cunning and mischievous way. Personnel should be advised that despite SCP-XXXX’s occasional cooperation, it is hostile to humans and will attempt to attack personnel at any given chance, especially if not expected. As example one is to be refered to Incident XXXX-33, in which SCP-XXXX managed to break the visors of two D-class maintenance workers inside its containment chamber. While one of the D-class immediately closed its eyes and was able to be extracted, the other was not as lucky as it was instantly entangled by SCP-XXXX and fell victim to its stare. While that was an impressive display of SCP-XXXX’s abilities, it shall also serve as a warning for anyone handling SCP-XXXX.

+ Progression of SCP-XXXX's effects

Infection/Application Stage:
Affected victims at first are mesmerized by SCP-XXXX’s stare, unable to move or look away and even immune to external stimuli for a duration of approximately five seconds. After this time frame, victims usually slowly back up without breaking eye contact with SCP-XXXX. Breaking eye contact during this initial stage of SCP-XXXXs effect will have no effect on halting or worsening the effect.
Stage One:
Following the application of the effect, SCP-XXXX will usually try to go into hiding nearby while the victim will start to feel paranoid and nervous. When asked, the victim will usually say something along the lines of “something’s in their neck, but they can’t really tell what.” The paranoia will increase over the course of two hours, during which the victim will usually search for a corner to retreat to not having to expose its back.
Stage Two:
After the two hour window of Stage One, Stage Two sets in. Stage Two involves the victim suddenly losing all paranoia induced at stage one, converting it into instant fatigue. This is often accompanied by yawning, half-open watery eyes and slight muscle twitches in arms and legs. During the next two hours, the victim starts to become more and more immobile. MRI and CT-scans during that stage show the victim converting all soft tissue in their body to bone tissue, almost identical to Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). The victim will usually want to lie down in a straight position during that stage and remark an unsettling discomfort up to mild pain as the conversion progresses. Death of the affected victim does not halt this process.
If SCP-XXXX is still present, it will attempt to entangle its victim if it is small enough. SCP-XXXX will apply slight pressure, thought not to serve to strangle or suffocate the victim, but rather to incapacitate it, if the victim is still alive.
Stage Three:
After another two hours, approximately 75-80% of the victims body, mostly the muscle tissue, has been converted to bone tissue, rendering the victim stiff and almost completely unable to move. During Testing, some subjects expired at this stage due to the inability to breath normally, and in some other cases multi-organ dysfunction has been noted, mostly due to vital organs being turned into bone tissue as well. If a victim is left undisturbed, total ossification occurs after approximately five (5) hours after onset of Stage Three.
If SCP-XXXX is still present in the nearby vicinity of the victim and has free access to it, it will begin devouring its victim, whether it is alive or not, as long as it is small enough to be eaten by SCP-XXXX. This behavior is not different to the feeding habits of ordinary snakes, however, it has been observed that SCP-XXXX digests its meals much faster than normal snakes would, causing a need of constant food supply. Also from note is that SCP-XXXX excretes far less bone matter than what would be expected.

Addendum 1:
SCP-XXXX is capable of applying its effect on any living being, not just organic ones. As reference take Incident XXXX-07, where a D-class infected and fully converted by SCP-217 was sent into the containment chamber without any protection. While the D-class proved to be immune against the bite attempts of SCP-XXXX, it was not immune against its stare. It was decided to put the remains of the D-class on display in the video observation room, as he is now nothing but a rusted, immobile and lifeless clockwork robot.
