Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedure: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard secure locker. Instances of SCP-XXXX-B are to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell with adequate lighting. Instances of SCP-XXXX-B and -C are to be held in windowless metal room. The walls are to be made of 3 meters of hard steel, and cameras and audio devices are to be placed in each corner of the room. There are currently ██ instances of SCP-XXXX-B held at site 19. Personal with a level 2 or higher Clearance is allowed to enter SCP-XXXX’s containment cell. Clearance Level Raised to 3 and above, see Addendum C. Access with SCP-XXXX-B should be done often and in timed intervals, and no interaction and testing should be done with/on SCP-XXXX-C. Instances SCP-XXXX-B should not be made aware of the state of SCP-XXXX-C.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a large red putty like substance in the shape of a head sized lump, weighing approximately 15 pounds. From this central mass grow large rods of similar color and texture called SCP-XXXX-A. When an instance of SCP-XXXX-A is broken of from the main mass, one end will become sharper than the other, but will not show any further anomalous qualities until something is punctured by the rod. SCP-XXXX-A regrows from the main mass at a rate of one per week. This used to be shorter, but a recent test had samples removed from the main mass, which reduces the mass’s maximum SCP-XXXX-A capacity by 4 rods, and decreased its regeneration rate by 4 days to its current rate. X-rays show that SCP-XXXX is a solid piece of its anomalous material.

Initial Recovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered during a police raid on a warehouse controlled by a local drug cartel. During the raid, SCP-XXXX was found within a cardboard box with a piece of paper glued to the side saying: “Perfection, Infinitesimal Degeneration, Correction”. The police took SCP-XXXX and stored it within their evidence locker. SCP-XXXX was brought to foundation attention when the man who tipped the police of to the warehouse1 attempted to puncture an officer with an instance of SCP-XXXX-A and was shot and killed. It was noted it took far more bullets for SCP-XXXX-B to die than a typical human. Foundation personnel were sent over and the police station received a Class A amnestic.

Behavior: Upon puncturing flesh of an organism, it will quickly burrow into the body and begin improve said body. Individuals affected by SCP-XXXX-A are identified as SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B shows above average strength, intellect2 and being able to go without sleep, food and water for months. It should be stated that this strength isn’t “Superhuman”, but the increase is noticeable to both the SCP and staff.

X-rays of SCP-XXXX-B have shown that the rod moves around the body, and grows a multitude of small appendages3. Once within the body it utilizes these appendages to streamline and improve the organs of the body. It achieves this by directly moving cells and changing their internal structure to a more efficient state through special biological structure on its appendages. SCP-XXXX-A releases dopamine during the process, and instances of SCP-XXXX-B describe it as being “Euphoric” in later interviews. The instances describe the most enjoyable part of the process is when SCP-XXXX-A moves down the middle of the spine and improves the nerves there, as the chemicals are send directly to the brain.

The best hypothesis as to why SCP-XXXX corrects the body is that reproduction has allowed the organs to be created infinitely with sufficient function, but small errors and misshapes with the cloning have always been there. SCP-XXXX-A appears to iron out these mistakes in our own making, creating SCP-XXXX-B. Whoever created SCP-XXXX, if it was created, is currently unknown. External improvements also occur, usually with the reduction of blemishes and/or facial correction.

[Redacted]

This creates physiological changes, such as: happier moods, compliance with Foundation Personal, and greater social interaction with Foundation staff. Most of these changes appear to be positive and non damaging, the only concerning physiology change is SCP-XXXX-B’s powerful interest in creating more instances of SCP-XXXX-B. Other physiological traits of SCP-XXXX-B are: Pacifism, Optimism, Altruism, and Generosity. D-Class and Foundation personal socially engaging with SCP-XXXX-B leave the encounter happier than they did coming in and with consideration towards receiving SCP-XXXX-A.

Beyond these trait changes, SCP-XXXX-A does not change the character of SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B instances remember who they were before their “correction”, and show large happiness in being a “Role Model”.

Addendum A: The following Interview was done with a instance of SCP-XXXX-B, who before his correction was extremely aggressive to foundation staff.

Addendum B: Tests were begun with human subjects and other anomalous objects.

Incident XXXX-A

Description: An instance of SCP-XXXX-B grew a connection with a researcher put on the SCP-XXXX research field. After discussing for weeks about SCP-XXXX-A, the two moved to a secluded place, and because of a lack of SCP-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-B-7 attempted to do the correction themselves. The staff member agrees, so SCP-XXXX-B-7 puts their hand down the Staff member’s throat and starts to erratically move it around. As the staff member became more desperate to remove SCP-XXXX-B-7’s hand from its throat, the instance became more frantic and emotionally unstable at its ineffective correction attempts. 3 minutes into the procedure, the staff member expired, SCP-XXXX-B-7 removes the head of the staff member from its body before throwing it against the wall. A security force was deployed to the location after a security officer on the camera system noticed the blood of the staff member. Upon arriving, SCP-XXXX-B-7 was highly hostile and killed 4 security officers before finally being detained.

Addendum C: All further tests surrounded around SCP-XXXX-B are to be terminated as soon as possible, and all instances of SCP-XXXX-B are to be contained within their newly designed containment cell. These new changes to the behavior shown to SCP-XXXX and their containment procedure is caused by incident XXXX-A. SCP-XXXX-B-7 is hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-C-1.

The video feed of Incident XXXX-A was shown to one third of the SCP-XXXX-B population held within site 19. Immediately upon the agent's death, they began exhibiting tense and irritated moods. Following interviews have shown the instances to be short of temper, and often damaging the table they are interviewed at. These instances are also referred to as SCP-XXXX-C. Instances of SCP-XXXX-B not shown the video show no physiological change even though of their suddenly stricter containment procedure. The video feed of Incident XXXX-A is now considered a memetic hazard towards SCP-XXXX-B, making them hostile and prone to violence. Exposure of this document to SCP-XXXX-B is restricted to anyone below security level 3.

9 days after Interview XXXX-B, SCP-XXXX-C-1 can be seen pulling the corpses of Agents Joshua, Jacob, and Aren apart by the limbs and placing them in neatly ordered piles. It then began eating the pieces. When asked what it is doing, SCP-XXXX-C-1 destroyed both cameras and audio devices within the chamber, somehow finding their location by the 5 seconds of staff members talking through them. Higher security posted at SCP-XXXX-C-1’s containment cell. It was also later decided to starve SCP-XXXX-C-1 to death.

I want Class A Amnestics administrator to all Mobile Task Forces who were involved in SCP-XXXX integration. I also want to take this moment to emphasize how close we were to disaster. Imagine if we did reclassified this SCP as thaumiel and integrated it within a large part of our highly trained and armed military. If Incident XXXX-A occured after we fully integrated, and the memetic hazard was shown to the squads affected, we could have faced a very real and deadly uprising within our foundation. I personally am glad this incident occurred when it did. -Director ████████, of Site 19
