Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: A fence is to be erected outside of the complex SCP-XXXX resides within. Armed guards are to patrol the complex posing as Mexican military police, and are to turn away all civilians looking to enter the complex. They are to use lethal force only if necessary.
10-30 D-Class personnel should be assigned to SCP-XXXX at all times. Suitable candidates for assignment possess a CRV (Cognitive Resistance Value) of below 10, and do not have a history of violent crime. These candidates should be briefed on the outward nature of SCP-XXXX, and take advanced courses on conflict resolution. Guards posted in the area must possess a CRV of above 10, and should be rotated out every three months and given a psychological evaluation.
Close monitoring of earthquakes in the Americas should be maintained at all times. Concurrent earthquakes exceeding 9.5 on the Richter scale should be reported to the director of Site-52 immediately. In the event these earthquakes are not coincidental, and are in fact related to SCP-XXXX, the CIF (Cognition Impairment Field) should be activated two minutes after confirmation. During this period high level personnel and researchers should be evacuated from SCP-XXXX.
Researchers studying the rituals and structures used to contain SCP-XXXX must possess a CRV of 10 or above. These researchers will study how to replicate the mechanism used to contain SCP-XXXX. Upon completion of the containment vessel, SCP-XXXX will be relocated to Site-52 and reclassified as Safe.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an incorporeal entity imprisoned inside an ornate statue. The statue is located within a complex of temples, pyramids, altars, and towers. These structures all serve an unknown function in the current containment of SCP-XXXX. The most important piece of this containment is a smooth gemstone embedded within the statues forehead, hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-A. Testing of SCP-XXXX-A is impossible, so the cut cannot be determined. The civilization that built the complex predates the Aztec empire by ~1000 years. This was determined by carbon dating and historical records found within several temples in the vicinity. The masonry is smooth, suffering only minimal erosion over the millennium. Religious texts reference the XK-Class end of the world scenario to follow containment breach in vague terms. Investigations into "The Sixth Sun's Army" referenced in several of these texts, and what that entails come up fruitless.
SCP-XXXX poses a cognitohazard to individuals with a CRV of 10 or below. These individuals are highly susceptible to suggestions posed by SCP-XXXX, and are likely to follow all orders issued by the entity. SCP-XXXX speaks to individuals using auditory and visual hallucinations, and often appears as more than one instance conflicting itself. This tactic is colloquially referred to as "Good cop, bad cop." by junior researchers on site, as one instance of SCP-XXXX will appear friendly and cooperative, and the other will appear intimidating and aggressive. There is at the time of writing no upper limit to the amount of conversations SCP-XXXX can maintain at once, given that all subjects are within the complex. If SCP-XXXX chooses, it can appear to groups of people at a time, or different individuals separately. Regardless of language comprehension, subjects manage to understand SCP-XXXX and communicate with it, either verbally or telepathically. How this is achieved with subjects who do not possess a language is unknown.
Addenda: Currently MTF Eta-23 "Praise The Sun" are searching for instances of SCP-XXXX in the ruined temples of Central America. If an instance of SCP-XXXX is found, Project Solicide should be initiated. CIF and researchers familiar with SCP-XXXX should be allocated for the purposes of Project Solicide.
SCP-XXXX will not be reclassified until it has been relocated to a containment vessel. Stop asking. Currently, staff on site have everything under control. Those of you who are skittish due to the quasi-religious nature of what we are dealing with are free to ask for re-assignment to another project. The Foundation has dealt with worse than a statue in Central America. Be professionals about this. -Senior Researcher Andrews, Site-52
On July 21st, 2023, MTF Eta-12 terminated SCP-4203, during a breach in containment at Site-46 that was not caused by SCP-4203 itself. Following this, SCP-4203 was quickly decommissioned and the number reassigned. The following is several witness testimonials, gathered by The Foundation Ethics Committee. Testimony was submitted in written form to the Ethics Committee
Commander Callaghan's Testimony
Name: James Callaghan
Security Clearance: Level 3
Position: Commander of MTF Eta-12 "Hand Of Justice"
Testimony: There was an explosion in the Safe humanoid cells, that's the first thing I remember of July 21st. The rest of Eta-12 and I were running surveillance on an object you probably don't have the clearance to know about. We were called into Site-46 early in the morning - I remember because I remarked to Thompson that I hadn't slept in a couple days, and was on my third coffee. When we arrived, the containment breach was already thirty minutes in. We reported our presence to site security so we weren't shot on sight and proceeded to check the Safe humanoid cells. In Cell block 6E, there were five cells that were compromised. Two of these cells had minor damage, two more had severe structural instability that would have to be fixed immediately. SCP-4203's cell had a collapsed wall. That thing was standing in the middle of the collapsed wall. It was in a state of panic. We gave it orders to stand back and calm down. It was non-responsive. After a bit, it looked at us and raised its arms. We hadn't been briefed on this thing, and I feared for my life in that moment. In a snap-judgement I ordered Eta-12 to fire on SCP-4203. It hit the ground about a second later. Immediately after SCP-4203's death, (From reports I've read) every human in Site-46 had an emotional breakdown. In my team, this manifested with half of us hyperventilating to the point of blackout, and half of us inconsolably sobbing. Just the facts, here. Thompson will act like an asshole and tell you he wasn't crying - He was. We all were. If you deem it a mistake to terminate SCP-4203, that's fine. But I know in my heart that thing caused the breach in 46. I know it.
Researcher Jones' Testimony
Name: Eric Jones
Security Clearance: Level 3
Position: Researcher of the former SCP-4203
Testimony: I had worked on SCP-4203 for several months. Her vitals were solid and she took well to being imprisoned, all things considered. The document I was provided with details what she's allowed to request, and how it's to be given. I'm sorry I meant… what she was allowed to request. It was always innocuous things. Magazines, televisions. She wasn't dangerous. At least, not in the physical way. SCP-4203 unintentionally shares her emotions with those around her. I mean shared. 4203 was often happy with the offerings that Dr. Daniels and I would bring. In my experience she couldn't have been so threatening as to necessitate execution.
The morning of the breach, I was in my office filing away an unrelated study on an unrelated object. It wasn't until everyone in Site-46 started having emotional distress that I suspected what happened. Dr. Daniels tried to hide the truth from me, tried to stash away after action reports and brush off my questions. But I found out the truth, so I'm here to set the record straight.
SCP-4203 did not deserve to die.
MTF Thompson's Testimony
Name: Peter Thompson
Security Clearance: Level 2
Position: Member of MTF Eta-12 "Hand Of Justice"
Testimony: The boss wanted us to respond to a containment breach in progress. After attaining the permission to speak freely, I told him this was a fuckin' stupid idea, since if we went to Site-46 we would lose the Intel we just worked so hard for. He basically pulled rank and said that the sooner we wrapped up the problem at 46 the sooner we could get back. Fair enough. Boss hadn't slept much and I didn't want to test him on his patience. Neither did Frankie or Swift. We three knew better than to push the subject. We weren't present for the explosion on Site-46, just for the aftermath. Site security pointed us to the Safe humanoid cells and we were given the task of assessing damage and securing all objects that may have escaped.
We started to check the cells, one by one. Commander Callaghan found the source of the explosion, SCP-4203's cell. The damn woman was standing there, having an anxiety attack. It put me on edge. We ordered her to step back and she raised her arms, her eyes were wide. In retrospect she was probably putting her hands up to surrender but Commander Callaghan gave us an order, and we followed it. I still don't know exactly if it was the right thing to do. All I know is that I was overwhelmed with dread and sadness. I felt as though I had tasted death itself. Apparently, everyone else felt the same way too. I'm only talking about it because I'm obligated to. You'd know, I formally requested to be exempt from the testimony process five times.
Well, hope it helps you reach a resolution, EC.
