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 warehouse 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, intellect 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 appendages. 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.
Interviewer: Dr. Garners
Interviewee: An instance of SCP XXXX-B-3
Dr. Garners enters the containment chamber, SCP-XXXX-B-3 is sitting at a metal table situated in the middle of the room.
SCP-XXXX-B-3: Oh hello there sir, great day we’re having.
Dr. Garners: How can you tell what weather we are currently having?
SCP-XXXX-B-3: Doesn’t matter what weather we are having, its always a pleasant day.
SCP-XXXX-B-3 gives a wide smile to Dr. Garners
Dr. Garners: I guess it is. I’m very glad you have chosen to cooperate with us.
SCP-XXXX-B-3: I just want to do the right thing.
Dr. Garners: And that is?
SCP-XXXX-B-3: Well, for now, do as you say, the foundation is the good guy in this world when it comes to the anomalous.
Dr. Garners: If I’m not mistake, before you’re… correction, you showed extreme hate towards the foundation and all who were a part of it, and constantly assaulted your handlers.
SCP-XXXX-B-3: I was different then, I’m a role model now.
Dr. Garners: Role Model?
SCP XXXX-B-3: As your research staff told me, I’m corrected. I’m streamlined, perfect.
Dr. Garners: Do you believe us, the ones who haven’t received SCP-XXXX-A, to be inferior to you?
SCP-XXXX-B-3: No, you are you, just like I WAS me, now I AM me. You can chose to be corrected, or not, the choice is yours. I just don’t agree with it, but there is nothing I can do beyond try to convince you.
Dr. Garners: I see. If you had access to SCP-XXXX, what would you do with it?
SCP-XXXX-B-3: If I had that choice, I would take the rods and try to correct as many people as I can, as long as they are willing of course.
Dr. Garners: Is that all you’re interested in? “Correcting” others?
SCP-XXXX-B-3: I want to make the world a better, safer place, and correction is the best way I know of.
Dr. Garners: Do you know that others like you have very similar responses to you when asked these very exact questions.
Five second pause
SCP-XXXX-B-3: Well, I’m just glad we are all on the same page.
Dr. Garners: I think this is a good place to stop, thank you for your cooperation.
SCP-XXXX-B-3: No, thank you for taking the time.
Addendum B: Tests were begun with human subjects and other anomalous objects.
Test XXXX-A-1
Subject: Bos Taurus
Action: D-Class Punctures subject with an instance of SCP-XXXX-A.
Result: Subject was agitated and kicked D-Class after being punctured, but 2 minutes of that it began twitching, before settling down. The subject then moves over and begins licking the D-Class.
Test XXXX-A-2
Subject: Pan
Action: D-Class Punctures subject with an instance of SCP-XXXX-A.
Result: Subject lets out an angry grunt as it is punctured and springs away from D-class. It sits in a corner, twitching with a large smile on its face, no teeth shown. After 3 minutes it moves across the room and begins grooming the D-Class' hair.
Test XXXX-A-3
Subject: SCP-2057-1, at 60°C
Action: D-Class Punctures subject with an instance of SCP-XXXX-A.
Result: SCP-XXXX-A burrows into body of SCP-2057-1, and subject's "skin" shivers during the process. 2 minutes into the procedure, the subject falls apart, and a live chicken emerges from the pile that used to be SCP-2057-1. Scans of the chicken shows it to be an instance of SCP-XXXX-B, and the other remains show no anomalous qualities. Reheating the materials showed no effect, no effect upon consumption.
Test XXXX-A-4
Subject: SCP-XXXX-B-4
Action: D-Class Punctures subject with an instance of SCP-XXXX-A.
Result: SCP-XXXX-A burrows into the body, but within 1 minute, returns to the original puncture spot and removes itself. No contact of are made with the already existing instance of SCP-XXXX-A.
Test XXXX-A-5
Subject: An instance of SCP-2479-A-5
Action: D-Class Punctures subject with an instance of SCP-XXXX-A.
Result: Subject's malformities and other mutations become corrected after approximately 3 minutes. The leg of the subject kicked a few times through the procedure, indicating pleasure. After the 3 minutes, subject appeared a far more natural, if anthropomorphic cat. The instance's mental capabilities remain roughly the same, though seem to no longer become hostile through aggression or irritation.
Test XXXX-A-6
Subject: ███████, a 93 year old man
Action: D-Class Punctures subject with an instance of SCP-XXXX-A
Result: Upon puncturing ███████, X-Ray scans show SCP-XXXX-A moving around for 20 seconds, before moving to the heart and [Redacted]. ███████ expired 30 seconds into the procedure, and 20 seconds after that his body [Redacted]. The chamber was cleaned, and ███████'s remains gathered for analysis.
Cross-Testing with SCP-1788 and SCP-3199 proposed. Request denied. -Really? Did you even read the object class on those two, they are already harmful and hard to contain as is. We don’t need them “streamlined”.- Dr. Karnake
Consideration to upgrade SCP-XXXX to Thaumiel object class and integration into Mobile Task Forces proposed. Request denied, see Addendum C.
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.
Interview XXX-B
Note: The following interview was done immediately after Incident XXXX-A
Interviewer: Agent Joshua
Interviewee: SCP XXXX-B-7
SCP-XXXX-B-7 fidgets within its chair and bends one of the arm wrests out of form. Agent Joshua enters, followed by 2 security officers.
Agent Joshua: You better have a good explanation for what you did.
SCP-XXXX-B-7: I…I… I only wanted to do the right thing. I didn’t mean to kill her, I wanted to correct her.
Agent Joshua: You killed her, by shoving your hand down her throat and tearing it from the inside. It’s very obvious that wouldn’t have “corrected” her.
SCP-XXXX-B-7: She WANTED to be corrected, I wanted… I NEEDED to correct her. SHE WANTED IT! BUT YOU AND YOUR FOUNDATION STOPPED ME! I NEEDED THE RODS!
Subject grows highly irritated, and security officers cock and aim weapons.
Agent Joshua: Control yourself, you didn’t hav-
SCP-XXXX-B-7 throws itself over the table at surprising speed, killing Agent Joshua through sheer force. The security officers open fire on the subject, but are dispatched thanks to SCP-XXXX-B-7’s high resistance to damage. The door to the chamber is locked afterwards, and SCP-XXXX-B-7 is locked within.
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
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedure: Random D-Class with amnestic surrounding further SCP Foundation sites are to be send to SCP-XXXX-1 with papers of job descriptions. These job descriptions have to be non-lethal or not involved with the SCP Foundation. These individuals are also to be instructed to not interact with SCP-XXXX, and respond only when spoken to. A prefered trait of these D-class is workaholic-ism.
Under no circumstance should D-Class send to SCP-XXXX-1 discuss the foundation at large with SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a large entity with a dark red and grey color scheme. It stands at 6.2 ft and appears to be wearing some sort of military uniform, by the design it appears to a commanding type. A Foundation emblem is also situated on the uniform’s shoulder. The entity's face appears human for the most part, beyond its skin color being the aforementioned dark red and grey, and the eyes being much thinner and more reptile like than a human. SCP-XXXX is sentient and capable of fluent speech in any language that it is spoken to in. It’s physical strength appears that of a normal human, but that could not be fully tested as of writing this.
SCP-XXXX was originally discovered in a DMV in ███████, ███. There it appeared to enact in the role of a inspector, studying and grading the DMV’s staff and other such logistics. The Foundation discovered it when one of the DMV staff posted a video of the entity to a social media platform. The post was later deleted and a amnestic was administered where needed. Agents sent out to media platform users who had seen the post.
A psychological interview was done with the entity, the transcribe is listed below.
Interview Log XXXX-A
Interviewer: Agent Kallan
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX
Info: This Interview was done right after the SCP’s containment.
SCP-XXXX: May I ask why you have interrupted my inspection of that local business?
Agent Kallan: SCP-XXXX please calm down, we do not wish to incite hostile behavior.
SCP-XXXX: SCP-XXXX? That is an interesting spin on it. Is it a code for a digital storage archive?
Agent Kallan: I… yes it is.
SCP-XXXX: So I assume you are some sort of organization, as the clean nature of this cell and the very streamlined data storage means. I would like to inspect this facility of yours.
Agent Kallan: SCP-XXXX I’m asking the questions!
SCP-XXXX pulls out a notebook and begins writing in it
SCP-XXXX: On the contrary, I’m very interested in the operations of this facility. Do tell, how many employees do you have? Oh and please describe the sanitation sustained around here?
Agent Kallan grows highly irritated as he storms out
Agent Kallan: If you don’t want to cooperate, then this interview is over.
SCP-XXXX appears thoughtful as he replaces the notebook in his vest.
After the interview, agent Kallan was given psychiatric evaluation after the interview. SCP-XXXX was left within its room with promises of further interaction, but to remain calm. The entity assured the staff it will do so. Testing is currently being written up.
Addendum XXXX-A: On 3 days after the interview, SCP-XXXX escaped containment and began inspecting its own research wing. Research staff called security and SCP-XXXX was convinced to return to its cell. 5 minutes later it escaped once more. Video recording of the cell showed SCP-XXXX simply walking through the walls. Once outside it resumed inspecting its own research wing. The security force returned to forcefully recontaint the SCP, but failed as they simply moved through it without disturbing it. Every attempt was met with scorn from the SCP, who quickly returned to its inspection. Security attempts were ceased 15 minutes after its second containment breach, and a interview was begun.
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Aberly
Note: This interview was done on the move as SCP-XXXX was moving through the facility.
Senior Researcher Aberly: SCP-XXXX please slow down for the interview.
SCP-XXXX is writing within its book as it walks, upon the Senior Researcher's request, looked over its shoulder.
SCP-XXXX: hmm? Oh if you insist, but my inspection will take longer if I do.
Senior Researcher Aberly: We'll live.
SCP-XXXX slows its pace so Senior Researcher Aberly can follow.
SCP-XXXX: Well since you're here I have some questions about this organization.
Senior Researcher Aberly: Go for it… I guess. I would also like to ask some questions if you'll allow it.
SCP-XXXX: I don't know what for, but I will oblige.
At this point Junior Researcher Kevin approaches with a Kant Meter to measure the entity's Hume numbers. Kevin gets a single reading of before SCP-XXXX steals the device from him. SCP-XXXX begins inspecting it.
SCP-XXXX: hmm, I'm not quite familiar with these… "Kant Meters". What is their purpose?
Senior Researcher Aberly: We uhh… use them to measure the amount of reality in a place, a way to identify a reality bender's strength.
Junior Researcher Kevin asks Senior Researcher Aberly through a whisper whether the SCP should be told this. Senior Researcher Aberly gives an indecisive shrug.
SCP-XXXX: Reality Benders? Are you referring to other SCP's? While we're at it, is the SCP classification an acronym, in if it is, what does it stand for?
Senior Researcher Aberly: Yes, a "Reality Bender" is a type of SCP we may come across. We believed you to be a reality bender, with your ability to walk through walls. So we tried to figure out your hume numbers.
SCP-XXXX: Me? I don't warp reality, its a standard feature with birth.
Senior Researcher Aberly: Well, not with us I'm afraid.
SCP-XXXX: NONSENSE! How can you call yourself a organization without standard features.
SCP-XXXX grabs Junior Researcher Kevin's hand and begins walking through a wall. Before the Junior Researcher can break free, SCP-XXXX attempts to pull him into the wall, pulverizing it between the wall and its hand. Junior Researcher Kevin collapses unto the floor and begins screaming incoherently. After 3 seconds SCP-XXXX leans back out of the wall and inspects the twitching form of the Junior Researcher. It then begins writing in its notebook again.
SCP-XXXX: Outdated Staff.
Senior Researcher Aberly: OH MY GOD. Security get medical team here stat.
SCP-XXXX: A medical wing? I think that will be the next stop.
The interview continued from this point for another 8 hours, where the SCP inspected the entire site. Soon after the above interview, Site Director Michael took over the interview. Below is a list of sections of the interview that were deemed relevant.
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Site Director Micheal
Note: SCP-XXXX is inspecting the medical wing of site ██.
SCP-XXXX: An interesting design of a medical station.
Site Director Michael: What do you mean?
SCP-XXXX: Well, for starters I see no [Unknown] attached to the beds. How can you treat your patients.
Site Director Michael rubs his head as he continues
Site Director Michael: I'm sorry, but could you describe that in more detail please.
SCP-XXXX: What? You mean [Unknown]? It's the device that adds the [Unknown] to the [Unknown], so that [Unknown] can be created.
Site Director Michael: I see, well, I'm sorry to say that we don't possess such objects.
SCP-XXXX gives a disappointed shake of its head and writes within its notebook.
Site Director Michael: With that out of the way… may I ask you some questions SCP-XXXX?
SCP-XXXX: I'm not sure why but gone on. If I have another question I'll let you know.
Site Director Michael: Well, for started why are you here?
SCP-XXXX: I came here to inspect your site.
Site Director Michael: Specifically this site?
SCP-XXXX looks at the site director with an inquisitive stare
SCP-XXXX: Are there more sites?
Site Director Michael: No, this is the only one.
5 seconds of silence
SCP-XXXX: I see.
Site Director Michael: What I meant is that if you were specifically coming to inspect our foundation, you seemed quite lost when we found you, why is that?
SCP-XXXX: Well, you didn't exactly give me directions.
Site Director Michael: We weren't made aware of your arrival.
SCP-XXXX: Inspectors never give a warning. But organizations also give you addresses.
The remainder of the Medical wing interview was cut due to irrelevance.
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Site Director Micheal
Note: SCP-XXXX is inspecting the light containment, as it travels to SCP-████'s containment cell.
Addendum XXXX-B:
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedure: SCP-XXXX is to be held within a standard humanoid containment cell. The walls are to be the only modified part of the cell, being completely soundproof from both from the outside and inside. Level 4 clearance required to know about SCP-XXXX’s existence on site. Level 5 clearance required to interact with SCP-XXXX, or to get testing approval by someone with Level 5 clearance. In the case of a containment breach, the following phrase is to be played on the Area wide intercom system: “I fear SCP-XXXX returning to its cell and complying with Foundation Personal”.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a dark blue humanoid entity with a tall but skinny profile. It’s joints are dominated by large blue growths, and it appears to be completely bald, with a light grey metal device attached to the back of its head. It is covered in a light grey material that roughly resembles a lab coat. Weather or not this is a reference to foundation personal is currently unknown. Standing at 7.1 feet, it is highly compliant to foundation personal, as of this time. Beyond its physical differences compared to a normal human being, it posses no other anomalous qualities. Although it is highly compliant, it appears unable to speak, even though is posses an obvious mouth, and a non-invasive study has shown it posses all the organs within the neck and mouth to be able to speak.
Interviews were held after its initial containment, led by Dr. Haben, who was assigned to this SCP for psychological analysis. SCP-XXXX has refused to comment on any questions asked by Dr. Haben, and appears to also ignore most stimuli, both verbally and physically. When left alone, it will sit quietly in its chair and remain stationary for the entire duration. Dr. Haben has concluded that the SCP appears to have no sentience, and rather appears to be some form of biological based machine. He also theoriezes it suffered a lot of damage to it’s cognitive drives some time before its containment.
Addendum A: At 2:00:00 on ████████████, Area ███ suffered a major containment breach, the alarms triggering an Area wide panic. A nearby MTF squad was sent into the facility and was soon lost contact with. Upon the loss of the MTF squad the Site director approved the use of the on site alpha warhead. At 3:12:31 the alpha warhead was activated and countdown began. Upon activation, the Site director relayed the following message over the intercom system, even though all other communications were useless at the time.
Subject: Site Director Jacobin
Beginning Time: 3:12:40
This is Jacobin Averly, Site director of this facility. I don’t know if anyone is still alive down there, or how many terrors are listening now, but I want to take this time to give some words. I cannot delay in this, as the Alpha Warhead is counting down as we speak, and my greatest fear is the failure of its activation. This will al… wait did the alarms just turn off? The alarms don’t ju… what do you mean you’ve re established communication with the MTF squadron? WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?
Ending Time: 3:13:10
Upon the ending of this message, all electrical systems returned to normality. Communication with the MTF squad confirmed no actual containment breaches beyond that of SCP-XXXX. [Date Expunged] The now reorganized security force and all MTF squad members were sent throughout the facility to find SCP-XXXX. It was discovered within the Alpha Warhead room, the doors to the area unlocked and opening to Level 1 clearance key cards. The SCP was discovered dismantling one of the warhead and disabling it. Forceful recontainment was attempted, but SCP-XXXX showed unprecedented physical strength and simply ignored any attempt by the Security forces present. It made no actual attempt to attack the soldiers, but they would often receive major injury by having arms and legs crushed between SCP-XXXX’s appendages while they were moving. The rest of the security force quickly confirmed that two out of the four warhead were already dismantled and disabled in a similar fashion to SCP-XXXX’s current project.
Research staff reviewed the now accessible footage of SCP-XXXX’s containment footage during the incident. At exactly 02:00:00 SCP-XXXX easily opened its containment cell’s door and confronted Dr. Haben, who at the time was writing a report in SCP-XXXX’s research section of its wing. It’s hand appears to become some sort of tentacle like appendages and inserted it into the back of Dr. Haben’s head. The Doctor goes limp, but quickly rights itself and walks over to the computer situated within the wing, SCP-XXXX still attached. Dr. Haben then began typing on the console, and it appears he hacked the foundation database, causing a fake Site wide containment breach through fake breach reports and stifling communications. Dr. Haben had no previous experience with hacking, and had no experience in programming overall. SCP-XXXX appears to have used Dr. Haben as some sort of puppet to aid in the containment breach event. Upon the major issues of the containment breach began, the video cuts of because of the massive technological difficulties caused by this fake event.
But upon the Site director phrase: “My greatest fear is the the failure of its activation”, the camera begins recording as it normally would, and SCP-XXXX dislodged itself from Dr. Haben, and quickly left it’s containment. It then traveled to the Warhead silo, and began its work. Dr. Haben’s head appears to be covered in some form of viscous liquid, and the back of his head is soon healed. He regains consciousness three minutes after SCP-XXXX disconnects from him, and appears to be very tired, a minute after awakening he lays down and falls asleep on the computer. Researcher staff then go further back into SCP-XXXX’s history in the foundation, and found out that during its transportation, two of the security officers assigned to move SCP-XXXX to its containment cell were discussing containment breaches. A transcript is shown below.
MTF Cadet ████████ and Lieutenant ████████ enter the hallway, escorting SCP-XXXX by handcuffs.
Cadet ████████: This one was a handful ey?
Lieutenant ████████: Looks over at the Cadet, silently glaring.
Cadet ████████: Not a talker, right. Appears to blink, as if just remembering something.
At this point the air walks off camera.
Cadet ████████: You know what would terrify me the most? A Site wide containment breach, wouldn’t that be horrifying? The tone of the cadet appears bored, as if the statement is redundant to him
A third unknown voice can be heard making some form of affirmative “hmm”. This was later confirmed to be SCP-XXXX.
Research staff then played back and noticed a trend with the sentences revolving around “fear” appearing to influence SCP-XXXX. One of the MTF soldiers near SCP-XXXX was told to walk into earshot of the SCP and say “My greatest fear is SCP-XXXX returning to its cell and sitting down in it’s chair and complying with foundation personnel”. Upon the soldier finishing the statement, SCP-XXXX looks over its shoulder and for the first time acknowledges the presence of them, and gives a light nod followed by a positive “hmmm”. Immediately after that SCP-XXXX drops everything it was holding and quickly returned to its containment cell, easily traversing 3 different wings to get there. Dr. Haben, who was still passed out at the time, appears to awaken when SCP-XXXX enters its containment area. Upon seeing the SCP, Haben appears to have a mental breakdown and quickly leaves the chamber screaming. SCP-XXXX halts in its progress and watches the Doctor flee, before giving another “hmm”, and resuming its task.
Addendum B: The damage to the warheads was repaired, and all wings of the facility were checked for damage and any further breaches. The Site has a very small anomaly presence, and only ██ Keter Class SCPs. Dr. Haben was given a Class A amenstic and moved on psychiatric leave, whereupon its completion he will be assigned to a new project. The researchers involved in the recontainment of SCP-XXXX were moved from their fields to exclusively work on SCP-XXXX, previous staff alteration made to compensate.
It requires further research, but the new research staff has begun describing an anomalous trait with SCP-XXXX called “Fear Parameters”. SCP-XXXX appears to act upon what it hears someone's fear is. The anomalous MTF Cadet stating a containment breach would scare him gave SCP-XXXX its “Fear Parameter” of causing a Site wide containment breach, or at least orchestrating one. The Site director then updated this Parameter with their comment of “my greatest fear is the failure of its activation”, when referring to the warheads. SCP-XXXX heard this on the intercom and quickly responded to its new “Fear Parameter”, dismantling the warheads and making them fail in their activation. Another strange trait is SCP-XXXX’s none violence when it comes to following its Parameters. It destroys door and overrides passwords, and when caught in between its joints people do get hurt, but the SCP itself ignores all stimuli and obstructions that aren’t directly interfering with it, like researcher staff or an unlocked door. Further Testing is awaiting approval to investigate the extent of SCP-XXXX’s potential.
Further Testing with SCP-XXXX approved by the 05 council
Addendum C: These test logs were carried out 12 days after the “Breach Panic of XX”, as SCP-XXXX’s breach is colloquially referred as. Logs Listed Below
Test XXXX-A
Rationale: To solidify the “Fear Parameters” theory proposed by research staff.
Fear Parameter: A punch to the chest
Phrase: “My only fear is being punched in the stomach”
Response: SCP-XXXX hit D-9701 in the chest, the lower part of the body dislodging and flying against the wall. D-9701 expired soon afterwards. Upon the death of D-9701, SCP-XXXX easily escaped from its cell and proceeded to enact the same action against a nearby researcher. Nearby researchers were able to return SCP-XXXX to its dormant state with the standard Containment Parameters.
Comments: It appears if the fear parameters is set to a specific individual, in this case D-9701, expires, SCP-XXXX will begin applying its last Fear Parameter to everyone nearby. SCP-XXXX also posses far more strength than its slim frame should be able to have. We already knew this, but it's good to receive further proof.
Test XXXX-B
Rationale: To solidify the “Fear Parameters” theory proposed by research staff.
Fear Parameter: Light Scratch on the Back
Phrase: “My only fear is being lightly scratched on the back”
Response: SCP-XXXX gets up from its chair and begins scratching the D-8111’s back. D-8111 appears highly uncomfortable, but not at all scared. This does not appear to phase SCP-XXXX, but it’s expression appears disappointed.
Comments: I think it's safe to say that “Fear Parameters” are true, and future tests to prove it are redundant now. Although the D-class’s reaction to the Fear Parameter appears to annoy SCP-XXXX, future testing can be done on that.
Test XXXX-C
Rationale: If SCP-XXXX is affected by the reaction of the subject to its “Fear” parameter. Most notably when the opposite reaction is done, such a glee and hilarity.
Fear Parameter: D-10050’s idea of hilarity: Bob Ross wearing a clown nose
Phrase: “My only fear is Bob Ross appearing in front of me wearing a clown nose.”
Response: After giving its affirmative “hmm”, SCP-XXXX’s entire body begins malforming, unsettling D-10050. After 5 seconds, SCP-XXXX transforms into a flawless Bob Ross look alike. SCP-XXXX also wears a clown’s nose on its face. D-10050 breaks out laughing. SCP-XXXX’s expression sours.
Comments: SCP-XXXX’s transformational abilities are a massive surprise to both research and a very high security risk. It is theorized that if the right fear parameter is given, SCP-XXXX can become any Foundation Personal and act as a highly effective hunter killer within the foundation.
Security Clearance raised from level 2 to level 3.
Test XXXX-D
Rationale: To further test SCP-XXXX’s transformational abilities.
Fear Parameter: Become Dr.Haben
Phrase: “My only fear is Dr.Haben”
Response: SCP-XXXX malformed, 10 seconds after the phrase was said, SCP-XXXX became D Dr.Haben, sitting on the chair not doing anything.
Comments: This proves and solidified the theory of SCP-XXXX being both able and willing to impersonate foundation staff.
Test XXXX-E
Rationale: See how powerful its knowledge about transforming is.
Fear Parameter: Disguise as a newborn child barely a week old.
Phrase: “My only fear is Abigail Johnstein
Response: SCP-XXXX gives a negative “Mmmrr”, before getting up and attempts to escape its containment. Research staff were able to return the SCP to its dormant state before any major damage can be done.
Comments: So SCP-XXXX requires knowledge about subjects when reacting to their fear parameter. We also discovered another verbal output from it, “hmmm” is the yes, doing it, while “Mmmrr” is similar to a computer’s “Error”. This test proves that SCP-XXXX does posses limits, but its behavior at the end of the experiment is hypothesized to be it attempting to synthesize the knowledge for the fear parameter. This is highly concerning, as it has proven high efficiency in hacking our systems, so gaining the knowledge for the child would be very easy for it. And in the theoretical instance that a GoI got its hands on it, such as the Chaos Insurgency, it also could discover and assassinate high level Foundation members, maybe even council members all by itself. The 05 Council has been send the findings of our research.
Further tests were done to understand this SCP, but were deemed too redundant to list here. Notable discoveries of those tests include:
1) The Phrase “My only fear is…” is not the only stimuli SCP-XXXX responds to. Similar sentences work as well, such as “I fear…”, “I’m afraid…”, and strangely “Something that grinds my gears.”
2) The entity will defend the small metallic device on the back of its head if it is attempted to be removed by foundation personal.
3) SCP-XXXX does not itself speak, but will instead use a human “puppet”, similar to how it used Dr. Haben, to speak full sentences while in its standard form. If it happens to be transformed into a human, it will be able to speak in the human’s voice on its own.
4) Physically attacking SCP-XXXX does not garner a response, unless responding is part of a fear Parameter.
5) Although it notices if a subject is obviously not terrified, it will still fulfill its fear parameter. Research beginning on an experimental fear parameter that would have SCP-XXXX become a thaumiel class object.
Addendum D: These test logs were performed with 05 council permission to learn of SCP-XXXX’s intents and purposes. SCP-987 was used during these experiment.
Test XXXX-978-A
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Photographed Activity: Sitting at its desk, dormant.
Photo Result: No change
Test XXXX-978-B
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Photographed Activity: Performing a dancing fear parameter.
Photo Result: No change
Test 4874-978-C
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Photographed Activity: Performing fear parameter that is set to posing for the camera.
Photo Result: No change
It appears that SCP-XXXX’s intentions and whims are tied to the fear parameters, and posses not sentience of its own, a mere biological machine. No further tests with SCP-978 have been approved. (See supplement)
Incident XXXX-A: Tests were continued with SCP-XXXX, involving a larger variety of fear parameters and subjects. The individuals tasked with giving SCP-XXXX its parameters were D-Class with scripts and instructions to read them. This procedure was enacted until ██████████, where a D-Class broke from the script and gave his own Fear Parameter. The following is an Audio Log of the incident, video recording capability being destroyed in the event.
Audio Transcript XXXX Inc 2
D-7540: Clears Throat So… you’re that Terror guy huh?
Senior Researcher ██████: Please stick to your script D-7540
D-7540: What, you’re scared of what I’m gonna say of script?
Metallic screeching can be heard as SCP-XXXX moves closer to D-7540
D-7540: Woah. You like scaring peop… wait is that why they call you that? Gullible Terror?
Senior Researcher ██████: Please stick to your script D-7540
D-7540: Fine… mumble reads the paper So they want me tell you that I’m scared of flowers?
SCP-XXXX: Hmmm
Screech of a metal chair being pushed can be heard.
D-7540: So let me tell you something that DOES scare me.
Metallic screech as the same chair is moved back to its original position. No further noise can be heard.
Senior Researcher ██████: D-7540 what are you doing? Stick to the script.
D-7540: Something REALLY makes me piss myself is freedom. Freedom from the foundation, freedom to live my own life away from these freaks.
SCP-XXXX: Hmmm
The chair screeches followed by a loud metallic explosion. The voice of Senior Researcher ██████ can be heard attempting to follow standard containment protocol, but D-7540 quickly overpowers him verbally. Meaty impacts from fists can be heard, before stopping. D-7540 spits on something.
D-7540: So, we blowing this joint or wh…
Gunfire erupts. A strangled grunt can be heard as a thud can be emits from the room.
Security Officer Jackson: I fear SCP-XXXX returning to its cell and complying with Foundation Personal.
SCP-XXXX: Hmmm
Footsteps are heard, followed by metal screeching.
Senior Researcher ██████ was gravely injured by D-7540, who himself died by Security Officer Jackson. SCP-XXXX was safely recontained. The incident was reviewed by the Site director, and they ordered that D-Class personnel were only allowed to interact and give Fear Parameters if it said Parameter has a chance of being lethal. Otherwise a loyal research member will engage in testing.
As much as I do chuckle at some of the more humorous tests this entity underwent, we must remember that this SCP is still a dangerous threat and potential Keter Class. I enjoy a good Bob Ross gag as the next man in line, but we need to be stricter as to how we approach this entity. -Site Director Jedias
XXXX Incident Reports: The following list has been created because of the large amount of containment protocol breaches involved with this SCP after Incident XXXX-A.
Incident XXXX-C
Individuals Involved: SCP-XXXX, Research Assistant Derrick.
Event: Research Assistant Derrick attempted to have SCP-XXXX wear small plastic cat ears and engage in some form of dance. Punishment administered as was seen fit by the Site Director.
Incident XXXX-D
Individuals Involved: SCP-XXXX, Security Officer Jackson
Event: Security Officer Jackson suffered major psychological damage after shooting and killing D-7540. Wanted an off camera psychiatric evaluation by SCP-XXXX. Entity complied, destroying all recording devices within the wing and stealing a soft sofa from the lounge. Jackson was apprehended 10 minutes into the procedure. SCP-XXXX and returned to its dormant state, and repairs were made to SCP-XXXX’s wing. Jackson was removed from security team on Area ██ and moved to psychiatric leave.
Incident XXXX-E
Individuals Involved: SCP-XXXX, Security Cadet Aberly
Event: Security Cadet Aberly recently had a divorce with her husband, who she has been married with for 10 years. Aberly attempted to access SCP-XXXX’s containment cell, but was unable to open the door. She then yelled a fear parameter through the walls, and SCP-XXXX responded. The actual parameter will not be stated for ethical reasons. Security officers responded to a containment breach in XXXX’s wing, and quickly distangled removed Aberly from SCP-XXXX. She later apologized for her actions and retired after receiving a Class B amenstic. The incident caused SCP-XXXX’s containment policy to be updated to include sound proof walls.
Incident XXXX-F
Individuals Involved: SCP-XXXX, Dr. Joshua and Assistant Researcher Jennifer.
Event: During routine maintenance of SCP-XXXX’s containment cell, the door was left unlocked. Speaking from the observation section, Dr. Joshua and Assistant Researcher Jennifer were deep in discussion about the 05’s councils ways and existence. Although too far away for SCP-XXXX to hear, the two later walked past the open door, most notably Assistant Researcher Jennifer stating: “I’m kinda afraid of knowing their identity in the first place”, where she was referring to 05 council members. SCP-XXXX was in earshot then, and quickly lefts it containment area, taking over Dr. Joshua and beginning to hack foundation database. Assistant Researcher Jennifer was delayed but was able to return SCP-XXXX back to its dormant state. SCP-XXXX had a total of 3 minutes of computer time, and during that time it found enough documentation to proof the 05 council’s existence. Dr. Joshua and Assistant Researcher Jennifer were aphrended and interrogated. After a psychiatric leave, they will be allowed to return to SCP-XXXX research.
SCP-XXXX: Final Containment Procedure and Foundation Value Correction
To: SCP-XXXX Staff
From: 05-1
To whom it may concern,
I’m writing this to solidify SCP-XXXX’s final containment, and to remind those reading what our very point of existence is. From now on SCP-XXXX requires Level 4 clearance is required to know about its existence. No further tests are to be done with this SCP. We know how it works and what it is capable of. We don’t know why, but at this point I’m making the answer to that question irrelevant.
I will also not tolerate any suggestions to reclassify this SCP as thaumiel. I don’t care that this thing can draw a perfect circle with a protractor, find and kill any man in existence, and able to run the entire foundation by itself, I don’t want to hear it. We aren’t called Attack, Destroy, Conquer. We Secure dangerous entities, Contain them, and Protect humanity through that. This SCP easily falls into the category of entities we need to do all of the above. We have gotten too complacent with our dealings with other entities. These are dangerous creatures. Thus I’m ordering a Class B amnestic to everyone involved with SCP-XXXX beyond the site director who currently houses SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX is to be contained in it cell, and not be accessed.
My orders will be followed to the letter, and I hope those reading will remember why we exist.
Awaiting Action,
05-1
MTF Omega-4 ("Fearmongers")
Task Force mission: MTF Omega-4 was created to aid in the containment of SCP-XXXX. Because of SCP-XXXX’s inconsistent behavior, Omega-4 is highly secretive and broken into already existing MTF units. Upon a dangerous fear Parameter being issued to SCP-XXXX, the 05 council will activate a transmission which only Omega-4 will receive. Upon hearing this, they will regain memory of the project and quickly move to a pre-chosen site to rendezvous and gather intel. They will then proceed to hunt and recontain SCP-XXXX. Because of their varied employment within MTF units, any skill that would be required is accounted for.
Assisting In Containment of Object:
Level 5 Access Required
For the following log, SCP-978 was placed within the cell on a wall and took pictures every minute for an entire day. The pictures were then caught as they fell from the entity and stored for later viewing. All of the pictures showed no change beyond the following.
Test XXXX-982-D
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Photographed Activity: Sitting at its desk, dormant.
Photo Result: SCP-XXXX is still sitting at its desk, rubbing its head. The metal machine attached to the back of its head is no longer present, instead lying on the floor. SCP-XXXX’s expression appears confused and relieved.
Well… this is… a terrifying to say the least. SCP-XXXX is sentient after all, without the machine at least. We need to censor this data, sending information to the 05 council now.
This log has been stricken from the main entry and placed under Level 4 Level 5 clearance. On closer examination, writing can be seen on the side of the machine usually hidden in between SCP-XXXX’s head and it. The message reads: "Against Continuity”.
