DT - The Collector

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures:
At the time of writing, SCP-XXXX is contained within a 15 x 15 chamber equipped with triple-barricaded doors and two cameras. Those in charge of managing the containment procedures are to rotate SCP-XXXX's Chamber with no less than thirty D-Class Personnel on a bi-weekly basis. These times are to be switched within random hourly intervals. After SCP-XXXX has finished, all leftover bodies and husks are to be removed from the chamber.

Following the manifestation of SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX is to be escorted in and out of the facility by no more than 12 armed guards, and all other personnel not to enter within a 10m radius. Under no circumstances is SCP-XXXX to be interfered with during these lapses in containment.

If SCP-XXXX attempts to breach containment, whether under normal circumstances or under the guise of transporting an SCP-XXXX-1 instance, it is to be sprayed with liquid nitrogen up to a force of 20,000 PSI.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a cat-like apparition approximately 7.2 meters high. The measurement is slightly innacurate due to SCP-XXXX's absence of legs, which is replaced by a wispy stub. It appears to possess extreme intelligence and is very cunning in nature.

SCP-XXXX is entirely incorporeal, and is capable of phasing through all matter at will. SCP-XXXX is extremely durable, capable of withstanding sustained fire from medium artillery guns without issue. When it decides to hunt, the entity is capable of shielding itself from all wavelengths of light, rendering itself invisible for a time.

SCP-XXXX preys on the souls of other living creatures, having no distinct preference over species, height or weight. Any creatures with less than adequate souls are ignored by SCP-XXXX, and if annoyed it will swiftly decapitate them without question. Human souls are viewed at a much higher standard than this, as SCP-XXXX is less prone to disposing of them.

Upon finding a desirable soul, the entity will shadow the subject indefinitely, memorizing their routines and daily patterns in detail. This lasts until the subject is openly vulnerable or until SCP-XXXX loses interest.

When the aforementioned requirements are met, SCP-XXXX will covertly approach the subject, quickly devouring their soul through its unhinged mouth. All victims of this process shrivel up into an unidentifiable husk.

After a presumably large amount of souls are consumed, SCP-XXXX begins to emit a vaporous substance from its mouth, which, after exactly two (2) hours manifests into a polychromatic sphere (Hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-1). When complete, SCP-XXXX will take hold of SCP-XXXX-1 and carry it to an unspecified location, not returning for approximately 3 to 6 months. All attempts at discovering this location have been inconclusive, and all attempts at disrupting SCP-XXXX-1’s manifestation or removing SCP-XXXX-1 from SCP-XXXX have nearly resulted in a BK-Class White Blank Scenario.

SCP-XXXX has arbitrarily decided to keep itself contained. Following the events of Incident-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX has developed a spiteful nature. Even when carrying SCP-XXXX-1 to its intended location, the entity is unbiased in expressing its desire to maim foundation members.

Incident-XXXX-1: While being absent from the foundation, SCP-XXXX spontaneously reappeared in its containment chamber from a shorter trip than normal, accompanied with the loss of intangibility. Upon further inspection, a note was stuck to one of the monitoring cameras, which read: "It wasn’t enough." SCP-XXXX expressed abnormal amounts of agitation, breaching containment and causing the deaths of ██ foundation personnel.

SCP-XXXX has been recorded consuming a larger portion of souls during its disappearances, resulting in a subsequent loss of human life. Due to the importance of SCP-XXXX’s task, it is not be interfered with unless human casualties exceed a certain amount.


Addendum-XXXX-1: Recorded Log of Incident-XXXX-2

<Begin Log>

Dr.████: [Nods to another guard off camera] Alright, you can speak now. Tell me what happened.

Agent ████████: Well, I was escorting the entity outside of the facility with the other guards, just like always. Since we had done this plenty of times before, I wasn’t really worried about the thing attacking us or whatever. Not since it was holding the orb.

Dr.████: So you weren’t paying as much attention as you should have?

Agent ████████: Yeah. We had gotten so used to the routine by now, we didn’t expect what happened next. About halfway to Gate-█, I heard it making some weird sounds, almost like a cat, so I looked over and saw some kind of mist coming out of its mouth.

Dr.████: And that’s when SCP-XXXX went on a rampage?

Agent ████████: Yeah. It leapt from the circle of guards and flew around, spreading that mist everywhere. Everyone was dropping like they had been working twenty-four hour shifts that entire week. It was insane. We started firing at it with our M16’s, but it kept holding up the orb so we couldn’t get a clear shot.

Dr.████: From the rounds that hit SCP-XXXX, did it take any significant damage?

Agent ████████: Not from what I could tell. The bullets just bounced off of its fur like nothing. The more we fired at it, the angrier it got. I don’t even know why it turned on us like that in the first place. We were just doing our damn jobs-

Dr.████: Look, I understand your point of view, but this is irrelevant information-

Agent ████████: Irrelevant information?! This thing [REDACTED] my entire fucking team! Why the hell did it do that?! Why would it turn on us so suddenly?! It’s not our fault we have to fucking contain it! It’s in the fucking acronym!

Dr.████: Agent, if you don’t calm down, I’ll be forced to call security in here.

Agent ████████: [Sighs] I know…I just got a bit carried away, is all. It’s my fault for thinking that thing was on good terms with us. Fuck that. [Sighs again] By the time it had slaughtered the lot of us, MTF-██-██ showed up with the liquid nitrogen and ran it out of the facility.

Dr.████: I see. If that’s all you have to say, then you’re free to leave now.

[Agent ████████ nods at Dr.████, standing up from his chair before leaving the room.]

Dr.████: [Looking directly into the camera] To whoever sent that note the first time…this is all your fault.
