Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: To prevent accidental discovery of SCP-XXXX, all roads that pass through SCP-XXXX's located forest have been redirected to lead away from the SCP. To prevent SCP-XXXX-A from spilling out of the well, the borehole of SCP-XXXX must be covered at all times excluding during experimentation. Following Incident-XXXX-2, this method of containment has proven dysfunctional. Thermometers have been inserted into SCP-XXXX's borehole. If at any time the temperature rises above the normal 26 degrees, agents are to be dispatched to prevent SCP-XXXX-A from spilling.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a water well located in a forest to the south of Middlesborough, England. SCP-XXXX is made up of wooden planks made from European Beech trees, and shows signs of decay consistent with the natural decay of most types of wood. SCP-XXXX possesses a borehole that is 46 meters deep, 81 centimeters in diameter and approximately 254 centimeters in circumference. However, the borehole is completely devoid of anything except a white mist that looms near the end of the borehole, preventing the direct bottom from being seen.

SCP-XXXX-A is the name given to an event which occurs regularly with 60 to 80 hour intervals, in which a highly viscous and neon green liquid (designated SCP-XXXX-1) will start to flood up from the base of SCP-XXXX, building up until it reaches the top of the borehole. Once it reaches the top, it will start to ooze from the well, and attempt to flow towards biological matter to consume. It is also presumed that SCP-XXXX-1 maintains a level of sentience, and individual instances of it think in a sort of hive mind to complete consumption more efficiently. SCP-XXXX seems to contain an infinite amount of SCP-XXXX-1, and there is no limit to how much of the liquid it can produce. There is currently no way to prevent SCP-XXXX-A, but methods to slow and stop it's progression exist in the forms of incineration and [DATA EXPUNGED]. If SCP-XXXX-1's progression is blocked entirely from upwards to 5 minutes, it will start flowing back down SCP-XXXX, reverting the effects of SCP-XXXX-A.

Initial Discovery:
SCP-XXXX was discovered after multiple reports by forest rangers and trekkers who had recently visited SCP-XXXX's forest stating that they had discovered multiple corpses of humans and animals that were severely dismembered and oozing slime from their mouthes. Agents were immediately dispatched, and it was discovered that nearly a third of the forest was engulfed in SCP-XXXX-1, and that it was speedily growing. A plan was immediately made to isolate the engulfed section of the forest from the rest and burn that part of the forest down. The operation was a success, incinerating the entirety of SCP-XXXX-1, and allowing agents to discover SCP-XXXX and immediately contain it.
