SCPF Volos crewmen preparing R.O.V. Hercules for deployment.
Special Containment Procedures: Following the events on 5/26/2019, SCP-XXXX is considered Neutralized, and previous Containment Procedures have been rescinded accordingly.
The SCPF Volos is to remain stationed at Site-40 and await further assignment; personnel initially assigned to SCP-XXXX research are to be transferred to Site-17 to await further reassignment. See Dr. Caballero for further details.
At this time, retrieval of SCP-XXXX is considered unfeasible, and recovery attempts have been suspended until further notice. Civilian oceanographic exploration teams are to be deterred from approaching the location of SCP-XXXX until they can be collected and relocated.
Defunct Containment Procedures: Due to its remote location and inability or unwillingness to move beyond its projected course, SCP-XXXX is considered functionally self-containing. In the unlikely event that an oceanographic institute's exploration route would potentially coincide with SCP-XXXX's location, agents planted within those institutions are to discretely alter said routes to avoid contact with SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX is to be monitored from the SCPF Volos which is to remain at the surface above SCP-XXXX at all times; a tracker has been attached to the subject to continually monitor its movement to this end. Visual inspections of SCP-XXXX to determine any changes in its state are to be conducted bi-monthly via the ship's R.O.V.
SCP-XXXX was the collective term used for a diving suit, designated SCP-XXXX-1, and a coral designated SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX would passively hunt prey through various anomalous effects from both SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2.
SCP-XXXX-1 was an Atmospheric Diving suit. It's last recorded location was at ██°██'██.█", in the Southern Indian Ocean. SCP-XXXX was capable of locomotion, despite SCP-XXXX not containing any sentient life that would be able to operate it. It was theorized that this is related to SCP-XXXX-2, but tests have proven unsuccessful in proving this theory. On average, it traversed 14.3 km per day, going back and forth in a straight line from ██°██'██.█" to ██°██'██.█". It was capable of creating a plethora of non-anomalous and anomalous sensory effects (see attached document XXXX-A)
SCP-XXXX-2 was a colony of corals, primarily of the Palythoa Toxica species and other species of the Palythoa genus. They were identical to the common variant of the Palythoa Toxica but were generally █ to ██ times larger. The palytoxin that they produced was approximately ██ times as potent as normal palytoxin. As of last recorded data, they were spread within a radius of ███ meters from SCP-XXXX-1. Any instances located outside this radius would quickly start to degrade. It is theorized that instances of SCP-XXXX-2 filled the insides of SCP-XXXX-1, but this couldn't be determined.
All instances of SCP-XXXX-2 were capable of individually multiplying through contact with minerals and biological matter. The exact nature of this process was unknown.
On 5/23/2019 foundation researcher ███████ ███, found that the range of SCP-XXXX was exponentially growing, and would reach ███ m2 at the end of the month. Although this was not a worrisome growth, researcher ███████ ███ applied for SCP-XXXX's object class to be upgraded to Euclid, with the notion that it was possible that, with further growth, the object class of SCP-XXXX would be needed to raise one more time to Keter class. This proposal was denied by the site manager ███ ████████████.
Chapter 21: Collectively Operating Anomalies (COA)
COA is an abbreviation for ''Collectively Operating Anomalies''. An SCP is described as a COA when multiple different anomalies are working together for any reason. This chapter provides more insight into how a trained researcher may use COA to describe an SCP.
When it is used: An SCP can be described as a COA when two or more anomalous objects are working together towards a common goal. An SCP can only be described as a COA when they are heterogeneous and are different in function. COA's are also cognitively independent and are sentient. Oftentimes, COA's are combined into the same Special Containment Procedure file.
When it isn't used: If an anomaly is a byproduct of another anomaly and is heterogeneous, it is not considered a COA. An anomaly is also not considered a COA if they are part of the same consciousness. An SCP where an anomaly that doesn't have consciousness is used by another anomaly also isn't classified as a COA.
Different types of COA's: How a COA is defined can be adjusted by a variable: Codependent and Independent
- Codependent (CCOA): Two anomalies are dependant on each other and willingly work together to sustain each other.
- Independent (ICOA): Two anomalies can function on their own and work together for any reason.
Take this for an example: Two men are trying to assassinate someone. One has a sniper rifle and one has ammunition for the rifle. They know that their assets complement each other, and choose to work together. This is a CCOA.
Another example: Two men are trying to assassinate someone. They both have the means to do that. Because they both know that confronting the target on their own could be dangerous, they choose to work together so they have a sure chance of winning. This is an ICOA.
Next Chapter: Anomalous Reaction Triggers (ART)
Addenda:
SCP-XXXX would hunt prey with a combination of effects from both SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2:
- SCP-XXXX-1 = Created cognitive and sensory effects, including, but not limited to, 145 different observed auditory effects, mating pheromones, anomalous compulsory effects, electromagnetic radiation, radiowaves identified as morse code, [data expunged].
- SCP-XXXX-2 = Captured prey once it came close by shooting instances of itself at prey within a range of 140 meters. Once an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 attached to its prey, it would release its Palytoxin into the subject's body, killing them instantly. Then, they would be dragged towards the ocean floor and be consumed by SCP-XXXX. Non-biological tissue was also shot at but instead weighed down by instances of SCP-XXXX-2 until it sank and came into direct contact with SCP-XXXX, after which it would be rapidly consumed.
It is notable that SCP-XXXX-2 doesn't attack the ocean floor or SCP-XXXX-1, which could mean that SCP-XXXX-2 has limited cognitive abilities or the ability to recognize different materials. The latter is more feasible, as it couldn't recognize the difference between SCP-XXXX-1 and the placed tracker, who are made of the same material.
Event XXXX-E-15
DATE: 5/25/2019
NOTE: Largely incomplete, as exact happenings are unknown.
[BEGIN LOG]
23:25 SCPF Volos picks up a radar signal inside SCP-XXXX's containment zone.
23:26 Radar signal starts moving faster than SCP-XXXX-1 maximum movement speed. Head Researcher on the SCPF Volos ████ ██████ checks the location of the tracker and finds that the locations don't match up. Nearby sites are informed of a potential containment breach.
23:26 Radar signal abruptly stops moving, R.O.V. Hercules is deployed and heads to location of radar signal.
23:27 Radar signal is no longer present. R.O.V. Hercules is within 50 meters of radar signal and identifies it as originating from a UN-commisioned seawolf-class submarine.
23:27 Radar signal reappears. Before communications can be set up, seawolf-class submarine fires all missiles at SCP-XXXX. Contact with R.O.V. is lost. Radar signal disappears.
23:27 SCPF Volos picks up signal from submarine. Later decoded as spelling out ''███████ ███''.
23:28 SCPF Volos sends emergency notification to all nearby sites.
23:39 Foundation fleet SIO-24 locks down containment site and escorts SCPF Volos.
After-Report: On 5/26/2019, the remaining crew of the SCPF Volos is sent on a recovery mission. They are unable to locate any remains of the submarine, R.O.V. Hercules, nor SCP XXXX. On 5/27/2019, SCP-XXXX's object class was updated to neutralized.
