SCP-4XXX wrapped in SCP-4XXX-1
Item#: SCP-4XXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4XXX is to be kept in an airtight glass box measuring one cubed foot within Site ██. Under no circumstances may any liquid be brought in to SCP-4XXX's containment unit. SCP-4XXX is only to be used by individuals once per day, under the supervision of senior research staff. Under no circumstances may SCP-4XXX be used more than once per day by individuals with the exception of usage on D-Class personnel for experimental purposes.
Description: SCP-4XXX appears to be a bar of soap weighing exactly 5 ounces, and is wrapped in a label (SCP-4XXX-1) declaring it to be ████████████ everlasting brand soap. The ingredients on the label all seem to be present within SCP-4XXX, however SCP-4XXX also seems to contain the chemical ██████, it is unknown what purpose ██████ has within the SCP-4XXX, but it is possible that it is responsible for the soaps anomalous properties.
SCP-4XXX displays three anomalous properties:
- If SCP-4XXX-1 has been removed from SCP-4XXX, and SCP-4XXX remains separated from a living organism, and is unobserved for an amount of time greater than 2.34 seconds, SCP-4XXX-1 is placed back around SCP-4XXX. It is unknown if the wrapper simply re-materializes, or is placed by some un-observable or anti-memetic entity.
- If SCP-4XXX is brought into contact with pure water, it begins to foam and create suds, as expected from a bar of soap. However, the bar does not appear to lose any mass, even after continuous hours of being exposed to the water. When weighed afterwards, it will have maintained it's mass of exactly 5 ounces. SCP-4XXX will not form suds of any kind if not exposed to pure H2O.
- SCP-4XXX's third property provides exceptionally thorough cleaning properties, leaving whatever surface cleaned exactly as it was before stained by any substance. This property has been observed to clean other anomalous materials, such as SCP-106's residue, or simply cleaning viscera from the unfortunate demise of staff or D-Class. However, the method that this effect is produced can cause irreversible damage to whatever surface it is applied to. If SCP-4XXX is used too often, or on an already fairly sterile surface, SCP-4XXX will begin to eat away at the surface, seemingly considering it the contaminant. This particular property was first discovered by Dr.████ (see Incident 4XXX-1-a).
SCP-4XXX was first discovered in ██████, Virginia, after the story of the "infinite soap bar" reached local news. MTF was dispatched to check out the rumor, and discovered that the soap indeed possessed anomalous properties. The soap was seized, the news segment erased, and the town was given mild amnestics.
Audio log from interview 4XXX-1:
Interviewer: Dr. Everett Mann
Interviewed: Dr.████
<Begin Log>
Dr.████: [DATA EXPUNGED] this really hurts.
Dr. Mann: Yes, yes, now can you tell me exactly how this happened?
Dr.████: Yeah, i was washing my hands with SCP-4XXX, and I-
Dr. Mann: Why were you using SCP-4XXX
Dr.████: Well one of the D-Class who was tasked with testing SCP-294. He was told to type in the most disgusting thing he could think of.
Dr. Mann: What did he choose?
Dr.████: He typed in [DATA EXPUNGED]
Dr. Mann: [DATA EXPUNGED]?
Dr.████: Yeah, I guess he took it, ow, a little far. anyway, he was instructed to drink from the cup, and ended vomiting, all over me, to be more specific.
Dr. Mann: And so you decided to use SCP-4XXX to clean yourself off?
Dr.████: Yeah, not only did I not want his vomit on me, but who knows how dangerous [DATA EXPUNGED] could be, contacted with flesh, so I wanted to get my hands as clean as possible.
Dr. Mann: So, do you believe that the mix between SCP-4XXX and [DATA EXPUNGED] could have led to your current predicament?
Dr.████: No. It cleaned my hands perfectly fine, without incident. But I went back and washed them again. I just wanted to make sure, you know? Anyway I just notice that the soap is scrubbing off a lot of material. I didn't think much of it, but as soon as I turned the water off, I felt an incredibly sharp pain in my hands.
Dr. Mann: So that's how you lost all the skin off of your hands?
Dr.████: Yeah. It just sloughed off. There was blood everywhere. I just dropped the bar in the sink and ran.
Dr. Mann: And that's when you ordered the lockdown of bathroom ███-5?
Dr.████: I alerted a security member, and got to the nearest medical facility as soon as I could.
Dr. Mann: Are you aware of the current damage to bathroom ███-5?
Dr.████: I think so. All I know is that they had to replace the sink, and about 5 feet of floor.
Dr. Mann: Thank you for you responses, try to get some rest.
Dr.████: Yeah…
