Item #:

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: A [blank] by [blank] barbed wire perimeter is currently erected around SCP-#. Due to the occasional movement exhibited by SCP-#, a two(2) foot cement wall has been placed in front of the main fencing to prevent any possible leaks. Because of the unpredictable nature of SCP-#, any and all experimentation must first be approved of by class-4 personnel.

Description: SCP-# is a small, ovate puddle of an indeterminant size that was found in an alleyway located in ████████, NC. Security footage of the alley shows a van marked only with the words, "Reflect on yourself" illegally dumping chemical waste. Tracing of the van's vehicle identification plate has been inconclusive as no license is currently registered in any system. It is believed that SCP-# could have originated from this source.

The water appears to be abnormally muddy for its location and never evaporates. From a distance, SCP-# seems to be a normal puddle created by recent rainfall. However, upon closer inspections, researchers have found that the "water" is actually a liquid of previously unknown origins. All attempts to study the fluid's chemical composition have been met with failure. When the liquid is placed on any form of non-organic matter, with exception to the road it was found on, it expels an acidic solution which quickly erodes any lab equipment.

Whenever a subject enters the containment zone and approaches the puddle, SCP-# will enter its active state. Within 20-30 seconds, the murky fluid within SCP-# will become extremely clear and lose all likeness to water; replicating the effects of a perfect mirror. Subjects will typically approach SCP-# in its active state, even when specifically told not to. Many participants describe feeling like they are being pulled towards SCP-# by some form of gravitational force. However, footage of the testing area instead shows subjects willingly walking towards the puddle.

Upon reaching SCP-#, subjects will stare at their reflection for an indefinite period of time; ranging from 40 seconds to 1 hour. After this interval, which they define as, "reflecting on themselves", once again suggesting SCP-#'s connection to the security footage, subjects will begin reaching inside of the puddle. Despite SCP-# being relatively small in size and supposedly being shallow, similar to non-anomalous puddles, subjects interacting with it during its active state are able to submerge entire appendages. Typically, participants are able to retrieve limbs without difficulty. However, on multiple occasions, subjects have pulled arms or legs out of SCP-# only to find them mutilated. No obvious pattern for these attacks has yet been found. Currently, there is no end to how far a subject can delve into SCP-#; research is ongoing to see whether it is completely bottomless.

After interacting with SCP-#, whether appendages are lost or not, subjects generally develop severe to acute aquaphobia. However, it is believed that those who were physically injured by SCP-# develop a far stronger aversion to water. The level of phobic tendencies varies widely between subjects; some benefit from therapy, while others find themselves fearful to take baths. Use of amnestics to possibly remedy the source of the phobia is still awaiting approval. On only one occasion did a D-personnel expire after testing. See incident-# for details.

+ Incident Log-#

D-# expired approximately two days following testing with SCP-#. Upon Dr. ███████ request, D-# had stuck both forearms into SCP-# for an extended period of time. When D-# removed his arms, it was found that both had been completely severed from his elbows. There was no external bleeding and the area of amputation was completely healed over. After removal from the testing site, D-# already began showing signs of severe aquaphobia.

One day following the experiment, staff noted an increase in the severity of D-#'s aquaphobia and reclusive nature. However, at this point, no other abnormal behavior was seen. The following day, foundation personnel found D-#'s corpse in his cell. An autopsy revealed that he had expired from acute dehydration. It is believed that SCP-#'s effect was so strong on D-# that he developed a fear of simply drinking water.

+ Notable Experiments Log

Subject	Time with SCP-#	Limbs Tested	Notable Outcomes
D-#	5 minutes	D-# dipped her entire leg in SCP-#	D-# dipped her leg, all the way up to her pelvis, in SCP-# as requested by foundation researchers. D-# described feeling as though she was immersing it in a warm pool and ultimately found it pleasant. Approximately 5 minutes later, researchers gave D-# permission to withdraw her limb and exit the testing site. D-# was able to retrieve her limb with no complications. Like all previous tests, D-# began to develop aquaphobia soon afterward. However, weekly therapy made D-#'s phobic tendencies more manageable.
D-#; fitted with a small video camera, headset, and breathing apparatus	1 hour	D-# submerged his head in SCP-#	Despite its outward appearance, the inside of SCP-# is vast and there was no visible bottom. It is still unknown whether this is a sign of a geospatial anomaly or form of portal. The video feed from D-#'s camera was slightly warped, but still supplied useful footage to foundation personnel. SCP-# seems to lead to a large underwater cavern. From D-#'s perspective, it seems as though subjects have been extending appendages from the cave ceiling. After having his head submerged for an hour, foundation researchers gave D-# permission to remove himself from SCP-#. However, D-# found himself unable to pull free from SCP-# and soon after, the foundation abruptly lost all video communication. Foundation personnel were dispatched to acquire D-# from the testing site. When pulled out of SCP-#, D-#'s head had been completely removed. Organ functionality continued for a few hours afterward but eventually ceased function.
D-#, D-#	2 minutes	D-# and D-# both put their forearms into SCP-#	After approximately 1 minute with their forearms inside SCP-#, both D-# and D-# began feeling an intense burning at their wrists. Both subjects attempted to remove their arms from SCP-# but were unable to. SCP-#'s liquid had hardened to a similar molecular structure as concrete. After another minute of intense pain, SCP-# liquified again and both subjects were able to remove themselves. However, by an unknown method, SCP-# had fused the arms of D-# and D-# together. Despite attempts to surgically separate the two, the point of amalgamation is even stronger than graphene and requires a different method of severance. D-# and D-# still remain connected.
