Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-XXXX is currently impossible. Should SCP-XXXX be successfully retrieved once more, it is important to note that containment breaches are to be expected from SCP-XXXX, no matter the severity of its procedure.

Due to its nature, containing SCP-XXXX is unnecessary. Unless SCP-XXXX is neutralized, under no circumstances should personnel attempt to contain SCP-XXXX. Anyone who attempts to contain SCP-XXXX should be apprehended within 72 hours.

SCP-XXXX has allowed the Foundation to attach a GPS tracker on its body to monitor its location and any changes in behavior.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a metamorphic entity which, by default, takes on the form of a blue-eyed Polish rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus) weighing 1kg. It cannot assume appearances greater in mass or volume than athletic, but otherwise baseline humans. As of the time of writing, the smallest form it has taken is that of arachnids of the family Mimetidae¹. When using a non-humanoid appearance, SCP-XXXX is capable of telepathic communication, with the capacity to hold conversations with up to 4 people at once. Aside from those traits, its strength, diet, and other physical characteristics are aligned with its current form.

Since its discovery on 03/11/2018, SCP-XXXX has breached containment a total of twenty-one (21) times. Two (2) of these breaches have resulted in SCP-XXXX leaving Site-220 before being recaptured.

SCP-XXXX demonstrates advanced intelligence, charisma, and resilience, as well as high observational and analytical ability. Despite its count of successful breach attempts, SCP-XXXX rarely commits deliberate lethal harm upon Foundation personnel, instead executing attempts by bargaining with various staff members as well as tampering its containment chamber from the inside.

Incident #: XXXX-α-01
Date: 03/13/2018
Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX was placed in a standard animal containment chamber and fed daily, with check-ups every Wednesday, courtesy of Dr. █████.
Result: SCP-XXXX convinced Dr. █████ to sneak it outside of Site-220 in an animal carrier and to replace it with a non-anomalous Polish rabbit. Dr. █████ was stopped by front gate security after she was overheard speaking to SCP-XXXX on its motives. Dr. █████ was questioned, reprimanded and reassigned to a non-sapient anomaly.
Notes: First report of SCP-XXXX's telepathic abilities. Object class upgraded to Euclid. Document revisions pending.

Incident #: XXXX-α-02
Date: 03/20/2018
Prior Procedures: Similar to previous special containment procedures, but staff are required to have empathy scores falling within a lower bracket.
Result: SCP-XXXX breached containment while Security Officers T██████ and R████ were arguing during their shift. The lock in its cell was found to be picked open. Security Officer W████, who was assigned to the hall's security cameras, was for unknown reasons unavailable when SCP-XXXX was attempting to leave its cell.
Officer T██████ further claimed that R████'s accusations of "sharing his shit opinions," which thus led to the argument, were completely untrue. R████ later on admitted that she "wasn't sure" if her testimony was indeed factually correct.
According to security footage, SCP-XXXX escaped through a damaged portion of the fence, but was recaptured within 5km of the site and placed in a temporary holding cell during revisions.
Notes: Document revisions pending.
"I don't want to write profanities in official memos, but what the HELL is wrong with you three!? It's smart, sure, but the reason you were assigned to it because you're also smart. The only word I can use to describe my emotional state is FLABBERGASTED." – Researcher Hadley

Incident #: XXXX-α-03
Date: 03/22/2018
Prior Procedures: SCP-XXXX was contained in a 1.2 by 3 by 3 containment chamber furnished with enrichment items and a feeding bowl. The chamber was also equipped with robotic drones to feed and keep watch over SCP-XXXX. In addition, only rabbit food was provided to give SCP-XXXX an incentive to remain in the associated form.
Result: SCP-XXXX transformed into a housecat (Felis catus) and attacked one of the drones, before being tranquilized.
Notes: "Oh God. We did it. It's not going to try escaping anytime soon. But still… keep an eye on the damn thing. I don't want to sound like a freak or anything, but that creature just makes me want to barricade everyone within the Site. Not to mention, I can't keep rewriting this document and having it uploaded into the database. " – Researcher Hadley

[EXTRANEOUS LOGS REDACTED]

Incident #: XXXX-α-08
Date: 04/01/2018
Prior Procedures: Same as previous.
Result: SCP-XXXX breached its cell through an unnoticed broken section, but security officers were able to intercept it at the now-repaired fence.
Notes: Object class upgraded to Keter.
"GOD DAMN IT" – Researcher Hadley

Incident #: XXXX-α-09
Date: 04/02/2018
Prior Procedures: Similar to previous set-up, but with more stringent monitoring. A D-Class personnel is to be assigned every two days to check on the security, and to threaten SCP-XXXX with physical harm.
Result: SCP-XXXX appeared to observe the new behavior implemented, and seemed to search its cell as in XXXX-α-04 to -07, but was tranquilized by the drones within 45 minutes.
Notes: N/A.

[EXTRANEOUS LOGS REDACTED]

Incident #: XXXX-α-21
Date: 05/25/2018
Prior Procedures: Same as previous.
Result: Two days prior to the breach, SCP-XXXX transformed into a [REDACTED] but behaved in a docile manner. However, its health quickly declined, requiring veterinary personnel to take it out of its cell for examination. However, an unrelated but simultaneous containment breach required personnel to evacuate the premises, and SCP-XXXX managed to evade capture before transforming into a Passer montanus specimen and leaving Site-220.
Notes: Efforts to locate SCP-XXXX are underway.
"I know everybody's angry at me because an anomaly under my team actually blipped out of our radars, but I want everyone to look at the bright side and how ever since SCP-XXXX breached containment, Site-220's problems have dropped to… almost 0!" – Researcher Hadley
"Are you sure that's statistically accurate?" – Agent Weber

Addendum XXXX-C: Incident Report XXXX-β

+ Open incident report

In a seemingly unrelated event on 12/18/2018, Foundation operative Francis Weber was called to investigate an anomalous incident done in a neighborhood in Sacramento, CA. Numerous residents described a salesman introducing himself as Luke U. Price, who was said to have sold the civilians collectible vinyl records. Witnesses claimed that the boxes which the records were kept in had a transparent cover, and that the discs "appeared genuine." However, as soon as Price left the neighborhood, witnesses discovered that the purchased vinyl records had transformed into discs made of stone.

Agent Weber found a man matching earlier descriptions of Price at a nearby street, eating a sandwich purchased from a [REDACTED] branch. When questioned, the man admitted to being Price, but threw the food at Agent Weber once he was asked about the stone discs. A small fight ensued, with both Agent Weber and Price sustaining minor injuries.

After the altercation, Price confessed that he attacked Agent Weber on account of his fear of "being put back in monster jail after [his] escape," furthermore recalling his designation as SCP-XXXX, and politely requested that he be escorted to Site-220, in exchange for an interview to "explain [himself]."

The stone discs were confiscated, and witnesses were amnesticized.

Adddendum XXXX-D: Post-incident interview.

+ Open interview

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Researcher Esther Aronson

Foreword: After being interrogated by Weber, SCP-XXXX agreed to be escorted to an interrogation room in Site-220 for an interview. Aronson was thoroughly briefed by Researcher Hadley on SCP-XXXX's capabilities and was instructed to terminate the interview if any signs of dishonesty or untruthfulness are exhibited by the subject.

<Begin Log>

Aronson: Good afternoon, XXXX. My name is Esther Aronson, and I was assigned to conduct an interview with you. Admittedly, you were the one to ask for this interview first…

SCP-XXXX: Yeah! Good afternoon to you too, and thank you kindly for letting me talk. It's good since… I traveled coast-to-coast for this. Also, Esther's a fine name, I must say. Do I need a lawyer for this?

Aronson: No, you don't need a lawyer. But if your comfort is your issue, we can adjust your containment procedures based on how you'll explain yourself.

SCP-XXXX: Sounds fun. Ask away.

Aronson silently reviews her notes.

Aronson: I would like it if you explained what you know of your origins.

SCP-XXXX: Straightforward! I like that in a woman.

Aronson: …Kindly stay on-topic.

SCP-XXXX: I was just about to answer you. You don't need to put me in such a rush, do you? As in, there’s no time limit for this interview? Because I could go on and on.
Aronson: Alright, then. Go into as much detail.

SCP-XXXX: Yeah, sure.

Aronson: As is necessary.

SCP-XXXX: I get you! I'm not dumb. You know, I would've actually let you ask me any questions… if you hadn't treated me as some dumb animal. Either that, or a compulsive liar who can't take being truthful. I consistently believe in a very few particular things, but if someone trusts me, I'll trust them right back. But no, you "Foundation" folks like freakshows, don'tcha? You like building zoos for you labcoat-wearing tots to watch and point at with your greasy, slobber-slathered fingers.

Aronson: E-excuse me… "Labcot-wearing tots"? Are you implying that you are older than you… than you appear?

Aronson adjusts her seat and looks at SCP-XXXX regularly. SCP-XXXX leans backwards and crosses its legs.

SCP-XXXX: Aren't you a smart one? At least you are worth the label of a natural philosopher, given that you respect the "natural" in "natural philosopher."

Aronson: Natural?

SCP-XXXX: Ah, ah. Lots of things in the world are natural. You humans are natural. Your capacity to think is natural. And with thinking comes fear, which is also natural. The things humans can fear are largely natural, like most o' the shit that goes on in the sea. Even… even the stranger scary things, yep? I've seen people absolutely scared shitless by snakes, and even their own freaking children. But kiddos and slithery reptiles come from a specific place, madame. We can identify their origin. But it's still… it's still possible to be frightened of your own damn offspring, yeah? Not to mention, snakes. It's natural to fear dying from a snake bite.

Aronson: Where are you going with this?

SCP-XXXX: Where I'm going with this, Esther?

SCP-XXXX stretches its arms.

SCP-XXXX: …I just wanted to say that I'm natural, too. You can call me an "anomaly" all you want, but I'm still natural. Maybe not in the physical world you all walk around in, but surely the collective human subconscious.

Aronson nods and takes notes before replying.

Aronson: So, XXXX, you are saying that you are some sort of dream entity, or perhaps… perhaps something of cultural basis?

SCP-XXXX: Right! I am a something of cultural basis. By the way, do you natural philosophers forget about layman's talk? It's feeling stuffy. Good thing your brain works, Esther. I don't have to fill in every single motherfucking blank. I'm feeling proud of you.

Aronson: Thank you…?

SCP-XXXX: You're welcome, lady. "I managed to impress an anomaly that keeps getting out of its cage." Get a medal with that engraved on it and wear it to work for the rest of your Foundation career!

Aronson: I'm not sure if the other personnel would take that as a serious award, XXXX. Not to mention, wouldn't it be such a low standard for people, to commend them for understanding your words?

SCP-XXXX: My standards have slipped down a slope, I concur. But take pride in yourself, Esther. I haven't praised anyone in time. The Foundation as a whole—I could praise them, and mock them the same way. Their animosity towards myself, I could see that as an insult, but I'd rather put it behind as a silly little trifle. An amusing shitfest.

Aronson: I can't exactly say it's… animosity… It is standard procedure for anomalies, sir. To contain them, and study them until an understanding is reached. Even if you say you're a "cultural something," and it abides by a certain line of logic, you do not follow a human consensus of the world.

SCP-XXXX: So you rationalize. But all that finding logic thing… it's not enough to obtain knowledge, Esther, you understand me? What did your Foundation think they'd get from cooping me up in a room manned by machines?

Aronson takes out a handkerchief and coughs into it.

Aronson: We believed that, if it came to it, the knowledge you provided could further our—

SCP-XXXX slams the table with the palm of its hand.

SCP-XXXX: Your curiosity is valid. But you can't keep something like me locked in a cage. I mean, sure, I kept you bitches on your toes, didn't I? But there's a reason I kept trying to leave. I kept "breaching," like you natural philosophers would word it. I had my own ideas, my own motives.

Aronson: …Then, what was that motive?

SCP-XXXX: The world needs me. You fuckers need me even more.

Aronson: I'm not sure if you're coming clear, XXXX.

SCP-XXXX: Esther, I want you to be like your namesake. I want you to think this little question of mine out—when was the last time the Foundation accomplished anything with pure brute force?

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Dr. Aronson forcibly concluded the interview and forwarded the information to higher command. After the interview, SCP-XXXX voluntarily remained in a standard humanoid containment chamber until an update was given.

Addendum XXXX-E: Consensus on Containment Procedures

+ Open addendum

Following additional interviews, analysis of SCP-XXXX's statements based on literary and historical sources, and past behavior, a decision was made to reclassify SCP-XXXX as Safe, and to revise its Special Containment Procedures.

As part of the revision, SCP-XXXX was outfitted with a GPS tracker with its consent, thoroughly lectured on its need to operate covertly, and released.

No further anomalous incidents have been reported.
