Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard cell and turned over daily. Under no circumstances is SCP-XXXX to be given water or anything else it asks for. When speaking with SCP-XXXX, the interviewer is not to deviate from the pre-approved subject matter. Any attempts by SCP-XXXX to change the subject matter will result in its punishment by the usual means. Failure to comply with the above will result in immediate termination.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a sentient sphere of organic matter, ~30cm in diameter. When left untouched, SCP-XXXX will spontaneously start growing tree roots, at an anomalously fast rate of growth.. SCP-XXXX is hostile to human life, and often tries to trick its minders into leaving it be or giving it water, which acts as a stimulant for root growth.
Whenever SCP-XXXX is moved, any roots that have been formed will disintegrate into a dark brown dust.. This makes it relatively easy to contain.
SCP-XXXX was discovered in the city of Portland, Oregon. The roots had begun to reach the city limits, and the Foundation was called in to investigate. After a D-Class personnel was picked up and thrown by SCP-XXXX's roots, MTF-Epsilon-5 ("Weed Whackers") was called in. The following battle resulted in ██ Foundation and ███ civilian casualties. After 78 hours, the MTF reached SCP-XXXX's center, where they quickly attempted to destroy it. While SCP-XXXX is indestructible, the MTF moved it enough to destroy the roots. It was quickly transported to Site-██, where it currently resides.
Tests have shown that SCP-XXXX is over 5,000 years old, and root samples do not match any type of tree currently known to the Foundation. Its origin is unclear, but the Foundation believes that it is not native to Earth. How SCP-XXXX is able to sustain itself without sunlight or water is currently unknown.
SCP-XXXX appears very friendly to all who meet it, often waving at site staff, and occasionally tapping out requests in Morse code and challenging researchers to games. However, it is extremely manipulative, and attempts to lull those monitoring it into a false sense of security.
Interview Log ██/██/████
Note that the interview was conducted after SCP-XXXX was left to grow for 3 days and given a pencil.
Dr. ████████: Would you be willing to give us some base information on what you are?
SCP-XXXX: No.
Dr. ████████: I can have you killed.
SCP-XXXX: I'd like to see you try.
When Dr. ████████ discovered that SCP-XXXX was, in fact, indestructible, the interview was called to an end so she could find another method of getting SCP-XXXX to divulge information.
After extensive testing, it was discovered that SCP-XXXX has a severe, but non-lethal allergy to [DATA EXPUNGED]. It is unknown whether this dislike extends to the rest of the species or if it is unique to SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX was henceforth threatened with exposure to [DATA EXPUNGED], which would cause severe pain and mild paralysis. SCP-XXXX was generally compliant with the Foundation's demands after threatened, and has been told there is a "lie detector" SCP monitoring its statements.
Interview Log ██/██/████
Dr. ████████: Please pick up the pencil and write "yes" if you understand me.
SCP-XXXX: Yes.
Dr. ████████: Are you capable of controlling your roots?
SCP-XXXX: Yes.
Dr. ████████: What is your name, if you have one?
SCP-XXXX: I have no name.
Dr. ████████: Why do you act so hostile towards humans?
SCP-XXXX: I am under orders to do so.
Dr. ████████: By who?
SCP-XXXX: The people in charge back home.
Dr. ████████: Where are you from?
SCP-XXXX: [DATA REDACTED], a planet in [DATA EXPUNGED].
Dr. ████████: Who sent you here?
SCP-XXXX: [DATA REDACTED], as a spy so I can prepare for the coming of the [DATA EXPUNGED]
Dr. ████████: How did you arrive on Earth?
SCP-XXXX: I was dropped off by [REDACTED] about 5000 years ago.
Dr. ████████: How do you speak English and Morse so well?
SCP-XXXX: Basic orientation.
SCP-███ breached containment at this point, and all personnel were required to secure it. The interview was continued the next day.
Interview Log ██/██/████
Dr. ████████: Please tell me more about the home planet you discussed with me
SCP-XXX: It's about [REDACTED] from here. Nice place. Lots of greenery.
Dr. ████████: Are you still in communication with your leaders?
SCP-XXXX: No, my device broke when your guys came and knocked me, in that Oregon hick town.
Dr. ████████: (barely audible) I'm from Portland…Do you think we could fix it?
SCP-XXXX: You'd have to find it first. It fell onto the plane as I was being moved.
Dr. ████████: Could you tell us how to make another one? We'd really like to contact [REDACTED]
SCP-XXXX: Do I look like a tech guy?
Dr. ████████: Are you aware of when the first ship is scheduled to land?
SCP-XXXX: I haven't checked in for a year, so my replacement should be coming soon.
Dr. ████████: Where will he be?
SCP-XXXX: Standard drop site. [REDACTED]
SCP-XXXX grabs a cup of water on Dr. ████████'s desk, and proceeds to pour the water onto itself.
SCP-XXXX: Thanks for giving me that water, it really helps me to grow.
SCP-XXXX's roots grew about a meter following this exchange, and it attempted to kill Dr. ████████ through strangulation. It was quickly moved and further conversation with SCP-XXXX is forbidden.
SCP-XXXX was exposed to [DATA REDACTED] for an hour following this incident. It was unable to move for three weeks, and became capable of communication again two days after that.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 are to be contained in a standard containment cell. Under no circumstances are individuals suffering from PTSD or those having a previous traumatic experience to be told of SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties.
SCP-XXXX IS NOT TO BE USED TO ALTER THE OUTCOME OF SPORTS EVENTS. ANY PERSONNEL WITH REGULAR ACCESS TO SCP-XXXX ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED FROM SPORTS BETTING.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Keter Uncontained
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a reinforced metal box, kept containment cell and no personnel are to make contact with it. SCP-XXXX is to be monitored at all times. All guards watching SCP-XXXX are to be equipped with flamethrowers in addition to standard equipment. Should SCP-XXXX leave its box, the room is to be locked down and not opened until SCP-XXXX has been located and returned to the box. If handling SCP-XXXX is absolutely necessary, it is to be performed by a D-Class wearing protective equipment.
As of ██/██/████, SCP-XXXX has breached containment and is no longer in the custody of the Foundation. Researchers and guards previously assigned to SCP-XXXX are to be on the lookout for suspected SCP-XXXX attacks. Please see Addendum XXXX-b for more information.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a small insectile organism hostile to humans that has the appearance of a brown leaf. SCP-XXXX is equipped with a stinger where the stem of a leaf would be, which it can retract at will.
SCP-XXXX has an extreme dislike of fire, and will avoid any flames, having been proven to prefer knocking itself out by flying into the floor than touching fire. It is unknown where this fear comes from, as SCP-XXXX is extremely fire resistant and virtually indestructible. When it was held down long enough for a D-Class to take a wing sample, the wing regrew within a day.
SCP-XXXX is attracted to bright lights, but they can make it aggressive and territorial, often staring at the light for days at a time and viciously attacking anyone who tries to remove it. If the light is turned off before SCP-XXXX is finished with it, it will enter a "rampage state" where it rams into the walls of its container, excretes massive amounts of venom, and attempts to bite anything that moves.
Please see Addendum XXXX-a for a description of the effects of the SCP's toxins.
Addendum XXXX-a:
During this experiment, D-1921 was exposed to SCP-XXXX in a rampage state.
7:00 AM: D-1921 is stung by SCP-XXXX. The wound swells almost immediately, and SCP-XXXX resists being put back in its box. By order of Dr. ████████, the experiment continues inside the containment cell.
8:17 AM: D-1921 complains he is feeling hot and itchy. It is noted his skin appears pale, and his facial features are unusually prominent.
8:53 AM: D-1921 is noted to have "very taut skin."
9:47 AM: D-1921 begins screaming, saying his "insides are getting jumbled."
10:21 AM: D-1921 stops screaming and is quiet. SCP-XXXX is noted to be prowling near him.
12:03 PM: D-1921 begins sweating profusely. He appears to be slightly shorter, and he has not moved for the past hour.
12:05 PM: Blood begins leaking from D-1921's nose. He is stated to be "much shorter and thinner, maybe 4 foot [1.2m]."
12:28 PM: D-1921 begins shrinking at a visible rate.
1:56 PM: D-1921 is about half the size of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX begins moving towards D-1921.
2:04 PM: D-1921 is swallowed whole. SCP-XXXX returns to its box and sleeps for the next five hours.
We conclude that the effects of SCP-XXXX's toxin are twofold - to shrink the victim down to a size where SCP-XXXX can consume them, and to paralyze them during this process. Further investigation is ongoing - Dr. ████████
