Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe █

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained in a Standard Humanoid Containment Cell, monitored by at the least two armed guards. Staff members with level 1 or higher security clearance are to be allowed access to SCP-XXXX pending the authorization of a staff member with level 3 or higher security clearance at the pretense that the session is recorded and staff witnesses are present. Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX, it is allowed simple objects within reason by request, and currently has requested:

  • 'A comfortable armchair' (Granted)
  • 'A table for writing' (Granted)
  • 'Loose leaf paper and writing utensils' (Granted)
  • 'A piano and its bench' (Granted)
  • 'A gramophone and classical music records' (Denied)
  • 'A canvas and painting supplies' (Granted)

All instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be contained in a similar fashion to SCP-XXXX unless additional measures are observed to be necessary.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a wooden mannequin that is humanoid in form with no facial features or hair. A sample of the wood that the entity consists of is confirmed to be of the species carapa guianensis, or mahogany wood. A large mechanical speaker is attached inside the chest cavity of the entity and is always fully operational, being supplied with enough electrical energy to be functional although a source has yet to be located.

The anomalous properties of the entity are only evident when a line of sight is established by the entity to a creature that is capable of learning. Once this trigger is met, the mannequin will animate, rising to a standing position if it is not already. The entity is capable of speech though the mechanical speaker in its chest cavity and appears to be sapient as well as sentient. As soon as the anomaly is animated, it will attempt to converse with the creature or creatures nearest to it and will carry out simple conversation until it senses an opportunity to converse about education. It will provide questions directed to inspire curiosity in the creatures and allow the entity it to teach them more about a subject or skill.
