Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is made of multiple parts for the purpose of containment:
SCP-XXXX-1 is to be kept inside of a 60cm x 60cm x 40cm locked, and sealed, clear tempered glass tank filled with purified H2O; under no circumstances should SCP-XXXX-1 be released unless it is by Dr. Freund or Dr. ████████.¹ SCP-XXXX-1 is allowed to be kept inside the same facility used for SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2 is to be kept inside a fifteen (15) meter square room with walls made of clear tempered glass, supported along the edges by steel with flooring made from grown grass. The inside of the containment room of SCP-XXXX-2 is to be furnished on one side with a desk, chair, bookshelf, and an assortment of books that are requested by SCP-XXXX (these books must then be approved by Dr. Freund or Dr. ████████). The other side of the containment room is to be filled with a two (2) meter deep pond of purified water. A single level-2 access keycard required door is the only entrance and exit to the containment room.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 looks similar to some form of small eel or mudskipper, but has notable features dismissing claims of relation. SCP-XXXX-1 is a mudskipper-like, amphibious creature and is approximately 10cm in length. A caudal fin at the end of the body appears to be its main form of locomotion, with two, small pectoral fins that only see use when SCP-XXXX-1 is moving upon land. The head of SCP-XXXX-1 is segmented from the body and mostly contains a mouth full of razor sharp teeth which, when broken off, regrow to full within two hours of removal. Six eyes are seen on the sides of SCP-XXXX-1's head (three on either side).

Acquisition Log-SCP-XXXX:

+ Show Acquisition Log-SCP-XXXX

SCP-XXXX was acquired on ██/██/████ in █████, ███████ of the United States of America. SCP-XXXX was found following a series of mysterious serial killings in which the murderer, SCP-XXXX-2, was always found secreting a viscous, grayish goo from either the left or right ear, the left or right eye, or the nose. In rare occasions, coming from a small hole in the neck or mouth. Jason ██████, the host of SCP-XXXX, was subdued and brought to Site-██ for containment. Three (3) weeks later, Jason ██████ mysteriously expired. SCP-XXXX was found escaping through the left ear and was placed within a sealed, glass container filled with H2O.

Interview Log XXXX-2-A:

+ Show Interview Log XXXX-2-A

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-2

Interviewer: Dr. Freund

Foreword: Dr. Freund enters the containment room of SCP-XXXX, sitting at a chair in front of the desk within the room. SCP-XXXX-2 sits on the opposite side in its own chair. Dr. Freund attempts to ask SCP-XXXX-2 some questions after hearing it speak for the first time when it muttered an expletive in pain. SCP-XXXX-2 is compliant, but clearly on edge, or otherwise shy, about responding.

<Begin Log, 11:██:15>

Dr. Freund: The recording has started. XXXX-2, could you answer some questions for me?

XXXX-2: …

Dr. Freund: I know you can understand me and that you can speak as well. I heard you cry out in pain after cutting D-Class ██████… or rather, your, finger on a book you were reading… I believe it was ████████? Paper cuts hurt quite a bit, hm?

SCP-XXXX-2 is silent for two (2) minutes.

XXXX-2: … What do you want?

Dr. Freund: Ah! So the mute does, in fact, speak. Hm… what I want? I just want to ask you some questions, is all.

XXXX-2: … Start.

Dr. Freund: O.K… How about this to start: Do you know where you are?

XXXX-2: … A prison.

Dr. Freund: Well, that is certainly one way to put it. Would you like to know the truth of where you are and why you are here?

XXXX-2: … Yes.

Dr. Freund: We are a scientific group that contains and protects various anomalous beings found all around the world, sometimes even outside the world; We are the SCP Foundation. You were deemed one of these beings. You are contained within Site-██. We contained you because of your parasitic nature towards humans. Basically, we don't know what you are, where you came from, or what your purpose is.

XXXX-2 becomes visibly annoyed at the mention of its 'parasitic nature' towards humans.

XXXX-2: Parasite!? I am no parasite. I am me.

Dr. Freund: Hm, well, my research and data shows otherwise. You clearly need to consume the brain of human, become its host, and control it, yes? This kills the human you do this to, right? I would argue that would fall under the category "parasite."

XXXX-2: … I… Yes. I do this.

Dr. Freund: Yes, we noticed you only seemed to feed upon human brains, but I'm glad you could confirm it for me. Also, I would like to apologize for being quite blunt with calling you a parasite. I did not mean it as an insult, merely that is what you would be classified as by our definition.

XXXX-2: …I thank you for your apology.

Dr. Freund: Alright, next question… What do you ea- wait, no, you already answered this one for me just now… how about what do you eat as XXXX-2?

XXXX-2: I eat whatever you eat. The food you feed my host is acceptable.

Dr. Freund: So the food we give you sustains the host body, just like a normal human? Okay. How about this one: Where did you come from?
XXXX-2: I was born. From eggs.

Dr. Freund: And that is all you know?

XXXX-2: Yes.

Dr. Freund: That will do for now. How long do you live?

XXXX-2: I do not know. I have never died.

Dr. Freund: Well… I guess you make a good point, but you mean to tell me you have never seen any of your species die from old age?

XXXX-2: No. We age, but I do not know if we die from it.

Dr. Freund: Interesting… Okay, how do you reproduce?

XXXX-2: …

Dr. Freund: Was that too personal?

XXXX-2: No. We reproduce when it is time. Through eggs. They are placed in the host, they fill the spot called a "throat." We find a quiet pond and await them to burst.

Dr. Freund: And do you need a mate?

XXXX-2: We are our own mate.

Dr. Freund: Ah, parthenogenesis reproduction? Fascinating. One final question for now: Are you willing to consent to continued Foundation protection and research?

XXXX-2: …I will consider it.

Dr. Freund: That's good to hear. I think I'll end this interview for now. I hope you don't mind if I come back and ask you more questions later. I'll be seeing you, XXXX.

<End Log, 11:██:44>

Closing Statement: Dr. Freund goes to leave the room, but just before leaving through the doorway, gives SCP-XXXX-2 a thumbs up while smiling, and then exits. SCP-XXXX-2 goes back to being quiet and refuses to speak to personnel. Anyone who attempts to enter, other than Dr. Freund or Dr. ████████, is assaulted by SCP-XXXX-2.

Interview Log XXXX-2-B:

+ Show Interview Log XXXX-2-B

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-2

Interviewer: Dr. Freund

Foreword: Dr. Freund enters the containment room and begins to ask XXXX-2 about its aggressiveness towards personnel before being told about SCP-XXXX's ability to consume memories. Finally, XXXX explains its life cycle.

<Begin Log, 22:██:13>

Dr. Freund: Recording has started. So, XXXX, I-

XXXX-2: Have more questions?

Dr. Freund: I do, yes. Can I start asking them?

XXXX-2: Go ahead.

Dr. Freund: Ahem. So, first off, I would like to ask: Why are you still aggressive with personnel? Have you decided not to accept the Foundation's efforts?

XXXX-2: I do not care for the rest of them. I will work with only you and Dr. ████████.

Dr. Freund: I'm flattered and I'm sure Dr. ████████ is too. Any reason why you have made this decision?

XXXX-2: You are interesting. You are intelligent. I would love to travel through your synapses and probe each and every memory. Savoring it.

Dr. Freund: I'm equally terrified and flattered. I'm also going to disappoint you by saying that won't happen, I'm sure you can understand why. What of Dr. ████████?

XXXX-2 goes silent for approximately three (3) minutes
XXXX-2: ██ reminds me of someone a host used to know.

Dr. Freund: A host's memories are retained by you after you consume them? How well do you remember these stolen memories?

XXXX-2: I keep them forever. They never go away.

Dr. Freund: Okay, but what about the memories of a person similar to Dr. ████████? How are they different than the other ones you have retained?

XXXX-2: My fourth host, a man who went by the name of ██████ █████████, had a mate. His mate was everything to him. He thought about his mate as many times as he did breathe. When I consumed his memories and took him as my host, I was accosted by intense feelings. So intense, I even forgot who I was. For two weeks, I had become ██████. I did everything he had done without realizing I was not him. When the host expired, I remembered what I truly was. I found a new host.

Dr. Freund: How do you know who you are then if you have all of these memories that can act as if they were yours to begin with?

XXXX-2: I am me: The culmination of all the memories I have consumed. I am neither one of the host's memories nor am I none of them. Each one I add becomes another part of me.

Dr. Freund: Hm… you also said "two weeks" for the period of time you were Mr. █████████, correct? Yet, when we first acquired you as Jason ██████, the host survived for about three weeks; this was also after an unknown period of time before your take over. What determines how long your host survives?

XXXX-2: If the host is healthy, longer. However, the host survives longer the longer I have existed.

Dr. Freund: So… the older you are, the longer the host will last? Is this indefinite or is the limit the age of the host?

XXXX-2, while shaking its head: I do not know the answer to that. I have spoken to none of the elders of my kind nor have I reached the point where I could die and find out.

Dr. Freund: Disappointing. Not in you dying, I mean, but rather that you are incapable of giving me a good answer from lack of knowledge. Another question: At what point you experience reproduction?

XXXX-2: I cannot give a good time frame, but I feel like it will be soon.

Dr. Freund: Soon? Are their any accommodations needed for the egg laying? Darkness? Water? Heat?

XXXX-2: This cell is fine and has all appropriate requirements.

Dr. Freund: That's good. I'm interested in seeing what a newly born of your species acts like. It will also make this entire situation far more interesting when we will have more than one of SCP-XXXX to examine.

XXXX-2: I am done answering questions.

Dr. Freund: It is quite late, isn't it? I will leave you be, XXXX. You've given me plenty of information to discuss with Dr. ████████.

<End Log, 23:██:18>

Closing Statement: Dr. Freund leaves the room and immediately asks for Dr. ████████ to discuss the recent interview. SCP-XXXX-2 returns to silently reading ███ ████ ██ ███ █████.
