SCP-XXXX at time of recovery.

Special Containment Procedures: The SCP-XXXX file is under review. It is unknown whether SCP-XXXX represents or poses a threat to Foundation personnel, or alternatively whether its transfer or release would pose such a threat..Skótos-class objects are still in the early stages of information collection. Until further notice, it will be held in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-43. MTF Pi-43 ("Garbage In, Garbage Out") is on standby for immediate release procedures pending completion of this review.

Description: SCP-XXXX presents as a baseline male human being, middle-aged with brown hair, brown eyes and tanned skin. Its disposition is morose; while it does not ignore attempts at communication, it also does not itself initiate conversation and prefers to be left alone. Its primary anomalous property is the psychic effect it exerts on individuals intending to act upon its person; at irregular intervals, these intents inexplicably dissipate. It is theorized that only actions which further the aims of SCP-XXXX, or whatever force is responsible for its existence, can be successfully carried out. This would appear to preclude the conscious decision to decommission SCP-XXXX, although the Artificial Intelligence Applications Division is presently researching electronic means of carrying out decommissioning procedures should they be deemed necessary after review.

Addendum XXXX-1, Phenomenological Overview: SCP-XXXX was discovered by routine .aic cross-referencing of eyewitness reports to violent crimes. Under the name "Andrew Mercier," SCP-XXXX was reported present at or located immediately adjacent to nine separate cases of violent death, each event involving multiple victims. A log of these events is appended below.

Date Location Event
12/30/2020 Kline, Mississippi Murder of a family of four
02/04/2021 Brandon, Missouri Three blunt force fatalities at a riot
02/18/2021 Fort Worth, Texas Seven fatalities in a drug seizure raid
04/09/2021 Ogden, Utah Murder of eighteen people on one apartment building floor
04/09/2021 Ogden, Utah Murder of seven police officers within a precinct headquarters
04/10/2021 Ogden, Utah Murder of three doctors at a hospital
05/17/2021 Logan, Utah Eight fatalities in a house fire
07/14/2021 Rock Springs, Wyoming Nine fatalities in an interstate accident
07/28/2021 Mankato, Minnesota Twelve fatalities involving drug overdoses

Despite SCP-XXXX's recorded presence at each event, which should have set off red flags in law enforcement computer systems, it was only taken into police custody after the first incident in Ogden, Utah. Though it was transferred to the Ogden Regional Medical Center after the apparent massacre at the precinct headquarters, it was not returned to custody after the death of the three doctors and was able to continue its apparent migration through the central United States.

Addendum XXXX-2, Interview: The following intake interview, conducted when SCP-XXXX was remanded to the custody of the Security and Containment Section of Site-43, triggered this SCP file's review.

Interview Log

Date: 29 July 2021

Interviewing Officer: H. Kuroki (Chief, Security and Containment Section)

Log begins.

Chief Kuroki: Name?

SCP-XXXX: Andrew Mercier.

Chief Kuroki: Occupation?

SCP-XXXX: I watch.

Chief Kuroki: What do you watch?

SCP-XXXX: People.

Chief Kuroki: To what end?

[SCP-XXXX grimaces.]

SCP-XXXX: Nasty ends, mostly.

Chief Kuroki: Are you killing these people?

SCP-XXXX: I don't think so.

Chief Kuroki: You don't think so?

SCP-XXXX: I don't think so.

Chief Kuroki: Wouldn't you know?

SCP-XXXX: I don't remember killing them.

Chief Kuroki: You were the sole survivor on your apartment block floor in Ogden.

SCP-XXXX: Trust me, I remember that.

Chief Kuroki: And the sole survivor at the police precinct.

SCP-XXXX: If they hadn't brought me in, there wouldn't have been any survivors.

Chief Kuroki: Maybe if they hadn't brought you in, there wouldn't have been any deaths.

SCP-XXXX: Well, there's probably a connection.

Chief Kuroki: Nobody even knows what happened to those three doctors.

SCP-XXXX: Nothing interesting, I can assure you.

Chief Kuroki: Maybe assure me in greater detail?

SCP-XXXX: I really prefer not to think about it.

Chief Kuroki: This strikes you as a believable story? Come on. Wherever you go, people die.

SCP-XXXX: That's one way of looking at it.

Chief Kuroki: Is there another way of looking at it?

[SCP-XXXX purses its lips and waits.]

Chief Kuroki: …Oh. I see. Ah…

[Chief Kuroki makes a note.]

Chief Kuroki: We're going to hold you for the time being. I advise you not to attempt escape.

SCP-XXXX: I won't.

Chief Kuroki: Good.

SCP-XXXX: Someone will need to be here.

Chief Kuroki: What?

SCP-XXXX: To watch.

Log ends.
