Item #: SCP-5669

Object Class: Keter Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5669 is currently housed in a 10 m x 10 m room with a single panel door with electronic lock designed to feign the locking mechanism that a standard key would simulate. The door is to be attached to a round room, henceforth called "The Auditorium" 60 m tall and 60 m in diameter with 30,434.24 ft² worth of space available. Standard Keter Containment doors will be at the North apex, whereas the subject's containment door will be at the South Apex. This space will be completely devoid or any furniture, with standard lighting installed. In this space specialized cameras that use heat signature tracking technology will be used, standard cameras will monitor SCP-5669's containment. SCP-5669 has made several requests for furnishings or entertainment.

Requests include:

  • One (1) 1 m x 1 m 226.8kg Obsidian cube -Denied
  • Two (2) 2 m x 2 m cages made of iron -Denied
  • [DATA EXPUNGED] -Denied
  • One (1) 1 m x 1 m Hnefatafl board made of Ash wood, Thirty-seven (37) Hnefatfl game pieces made of Ash wood - Approved Revoked
  • One (1) game of Talfkast, including: four (4) 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm six-sided die with the numbers 1-6 printed on its sides, two (2) 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm six-sided die with the numbers 1-6 printed on its sides, one (1) 0.5 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm six sided die with the number 1-4 printed on the four sides that are longer horizontally, one (1) leather thong. - Approved Revoked
  • One (1) set of 24 0.33 in x 0.33 in bone tablets with runes from the █████ ███████ language carved one on side of each tablet, One (1) leather thong. -Denied

Current furnishings include:

  • One (1) wooden-frame twin-sized bed frame with a twin-sized foam mattress and standard cotton bedsheets and blankets. All linen are to be sterilized on the eighth morning of each month according to standard procedures. The foam mattress itself will be replaced on the eighth morning of every month, and the old mattress discarded through incineration.
  • One (1) eighteen(18) inch stainless steel toilet and oral lavatory fixture embedded to the south wall. Toilet and lavatory are to be sanitized each morning using standard procedures.

SCP-5669 is to be dressed in loose, sleeveless garments made of 50% long-staple cotton and 50% wool. Fresh clothing will be provided once daily, with used garments sterilized using standard procedure after a blessing by a religious official of any faith. Bathing is to be done once every morning, in a washtub filled with a solution of water, baking soda and mistletoe extract. Feeding shall be carried out twice daily, the first meal between 1000 and 1200 while the second meal is between 1900 and 2100. The only exception is on the ninth day of the month every month, where no meal will be provided.

Daily inspections for injury should be carried out by SCP-5669 itself. Should the subject require medical needs, a standard detail of nine (9) members of Site-54 site security shall position themselves in the "The Auditorium", with the arrangement as follows:

  • One (1) armed guard at each of the four (4) cardinal directions (North, South, East, West)
  • One (1) armed guard at each of the intermediate directions (Northeast/Northwest, Southeast/Southwest)
  • One (1) armed guard in the center of "The Auditorium"

Once the guards are in place, over the intercom the staff will verify whether or not subject is responsive or not, and as such ambulatory or not. Should SCP-5669 be immobile, a further nine (9) armed guards will arrive to retrieve the subject from his containment and escort the subject to the nearest medical facility, where the guards will remain posted until they can escort the individual back to their containment room.

At least nine (9) armed guards are to be present at the pre-described locations in "The Auditorium" in any time that personnel have contact with SCP-5669 or it's possessions. Any less and the probability at a containment reach exponentially rises.

SCP-5669 is NOT not be shown the following literature or electronic entertainment:

  • Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson
  • Poetic Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson
  • The Bible, Quran, Tanakh, or other Judeo-Christian religious texts
  • Any religious texts from the GOI-004 (The Church of the Broken God)
  • Any religious Sarkic texts
  • "The Thing", Directed by John Carpenter
  • "The Human Centipede" movies, Directed by Tom Six
  • "The Hungry Hungry ███████", Unknown author (this book is possibly Sarkic in nature, stylized after a popular children's book. Research is being done into the origin and purpose of this book, and the possibility of others akin to it.)

Exposure to, and consequent reading of/viewing, will result in SCP-5669 to enter it's "active" state.

Staff are NOT to engage in any games or gambling/bargaining with SCP-5669 under the premise that any of the following is in jeopardy:

  • Their body or skin, subject may use the word "Hamr"
  • Their mind, subject may use the word "Hugr"
  • A pet or animal emotionally connected to the individual, subject may use the word "Fylgia"
  • Their children or decendants, subject may use the word "Hamingja"

Description: SCP-5669 is a adult human male, 1.75 m in height 65.77kg in weight and approximately 27 years old. Subject is of Swedish-decent, bald, and physically fit. When inactive, subject's eyes are hazel, and no markings or blemishes adorn the skin throughout the body.

Subject claims to be over 1,000 years old, and that it was born pior to the year 805 AD. Physical testing done shows that physiologically the subject is a 27 year old male of average ability, however intelligence testing shows an IQ of 180. Subject is capable of reciting several historical events, albeit in a poetic fashion, with up to 90% accuracy. He claims his name is "Kött Präst" or "█████ ██████" and that he has not had any previous names. His name translates to [DATA EXPUNGED] in [REDACTED], which would theoretically be his native-written language.

SCP-5669 currently has two known states: active, and inactive.

When inactive, SCP-5669 is compliant with containment procedures to an extent. Subject will attempt to convince any human being to play a game with it. The game varies from either "Talfkast" to "Hnefatafl" with no indication as to why the variance. Regardless of the game, the subject with insist of bargaining with the player(s), itself offering a multitude of things including: wisdom, wealth, strength, luck, increased fertility, victory in battle, communication with wildlife or the deceased, "magical" weapons/armor/jewelry/items, and longevity or regained youth. Coincidentally, a few (two confirmed cases) female researchers were offered "█████", those research into "█████" has proven difficult due to lost texts on ancient-Norse religions and their practices. What has been found has shown correlating information regarding [DATA EXPUNGED] and a potential XK-Class End-of the-World-Scenario.

While it is generally unknown if and how SCP-5669 is capable of increasing the attributes it offers to the individual(s) or if it is capable of generating the items it offers; tests done have proven mixed results.

Further tests pending approval.

SCP-5669 has shown that while inactive, it will display normal human emotions to most thing. Subject will display joy when eating a preferred meal, distress when in pain (excruciating pain will cause the subject to transition to an active state), and has the emotional tolerance of an average 27 year old male. Physically, the subject is ordinarily capable of most tasks, able to accomplish complex tasks and functions adequately with enough repetition.

Physical changes have been observed prior to SCP-5669 becoming "active", with the transition occurring in as little as five (5) seconds and as long as █ hours. Such changes include: Heterochromia (hazel to grey), sigils and glyphs appearing subcutaneously in a yellow light, limb and digit elongation, facial distortions, facial obstructions,rapid onset-emaciation or dehydration, torso elongation.

There are also vocal changes, the subject's speech patterns quickly appear to lose focus and become a congealed mess of words, however upon further analysis they appear to be a short-range cognito hazard. Deciphering these has proven impossible, as recordings of the vocal patterns provides another outlet for the cognito hazard to be dispersed from.

Regardless of whether or not the prohibited actions occurred or not, or if an individual "lost" a game with the subject; on the ninth day of every month from 0000-2359 the subject will enter an active state.

Once in its active state, SCP-5669 becomes openly hostile to all humans mammals animals within 60 m. The subject will begin a series of vocalizations in conjunction with rapid movements. Subject's body will distort and transform, adding new forms to itself seemingly at random. New forms include: the growth of new limbs across the torso, the development of additional or replacement existing of limbs, the replacement or modification of pre-existing body structures such as eye sockets or orifices, elongation or contraction of limbs at will.

SCP-5669 will remain in an active state until either there are no living/unaltered animals/humans within 60 m 120 m eyesight, or six (6) hours, whichever occurs first.

In addition, individuals who hear SCP-5669's vocalizations become suspect to a cognito hazard that causes them to behave similarly to SCP-5669, and are henceforth classified as SCP-5669-02. A typical specimen's body will contort and transform. There seems to be no standard form or function for these transformations. Survivors have stated that from a short distance they could hear low-volume rambling similar to that of SCP-5669's vocalizations, however the cognito hazard appears to either be nullified or weakened.

SCP-5669-02 typically are able to be destroyed with relative ease, a standard 5.56x45mm standard issue rifle is enough to kill the subject. Fire or intense heat seems to destroy subjects permanently, however it does not kill them immediately. Ice or Extreme cold seems to hinder or outright halt their movements temporarily, but is not lethal.

Additionally, certain individuals have been noted as becoming "carriers" of this cognito hazard, hereby classified as SCP-5669-03. Subjects are always female, and are "chosen" by SCP-5669 during a "game" previously played. Subjects exhibit the same states and precursor symptoms prior to an active state as SCP-5669, albeit greatly reduced in magnitude. SCP-5669-03 enter an active state approximately ten (10) seconds after SCP-5669, however this only occurs if they are in close proximity to SCP-5669, and on the ninth month (September) every nine days. There is no known range of activation distance between SCP-5669 and SCP-5669-03, it has been recorded at a length of ███ miles away, and may be further.

Addendum:Discovery
SCP-5669 was discovered on the southern most region on the island of Gotland, in the country of Sweden. Locals had reported to the police accounts of missing persons, and an embedded agent reported immediately to the nearest field office once they were on scene. By the time members of MTF Eta-10 ("See No Evil") arrived, the entire police force on site were transformed. Being ill-equipped to face and contain SCP-5669, MTF Eta-10 called in for reinforcements, specifically MTF Eta-5 ("Tone Deaf"), and held their ground against the growing numer of SCP-5669-02. Despite heavy casualties, Eta-10 survived down to three agents by the time Eta-5 arrived. The combined strength of Eta-10 and Eta-5 led to a hastened containment of the area, where they waited a total of 24 hours before moving to contain SCP-5669. Class B amnestics were applied to the local populace, MTF Epsilon-6 ("Village Idiots") handled the cleanup affected site(s).
