Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: all 8 SCP-XXXX instances are to be intercepted on ██/██/████ and subsequently redirected as outlined in AVALON RED Mission Parameters. SCP-XXXX instances are to be shielded within a metal casing equipped with a high gain antenna, tracking computer, and a radioisotope thermoelectric generator. Tracking data is to be maintained for as long as the RTG battery allows (~35 years), with jurisdiction of research belonging to Site-162.

Early warning systems for SCP-XXXX instances are not possible. Should any others be identified, AVALON RED Procedures are to be reenacted, along with its contingency plans.

Object Description: SCP-XXXX designates a series of 8 astronomical objects with interstellar origins. Original trajectories overlapped with Earth's, and would have resulted in the objects entering the Earth's atmosphere on ██/██/████. This was avoided, as The Foundation launched 8 deep space probes in the spring of ████ which successfully intercepted and redirected SCP-XXXX instances back out of the solar system.

Each SCP-XXXX instance is approximately half a meter long, dark red in coloration, and crystalline in shape (trigonal structure similar to that of quartz). To the extent that SCP-XXXX's research team can be certain, SCP-XXXX instances are not artificial in any way, as the objects do not possess any means of propulsion, guidance, or sensors. In fact, SCP-XXXX is composed of two relatively simple layers; a thin red outer surface, and an internal layer consisting of 3kg of SCP-XXXX-1.

SCP-XXXX-1 is an exotic organic compound (exact chemical makeup unknown) which grows to form a sponge-like biomass. It is nontoxic, not poisonous, and does not appear to react with any other chemical compounds. SCP-XXXX-1 grows at a rate proportional to its size (larger biomasses expand quicker).
