Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-A is to be kept in a standart class 3 item containment locker in site-16. It is to be constantly guarded by at least 2 members of MTF Theta-4 ("Gardeners") and access is only to be given to personel with security clearance level 03-XXXX and above. In case of an containment breach in site-16, SCP-XXXX-A is to be protected by at least 4 members of MTF Theta-4. When transported, SCP-XXXX-A is to be protected by at least three members of MTF Theta-4 ("Gardeners") and any intruders or personnel that try to get unauthorised access to SCP-XXXX-A are to be interviewd and possible connections to groups of intrest are to be investigated.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a collection of three books that all posess reality bending abitlities. SCP-XXXX-A is wooden covered and the letters "PGP" are engraved on it. It measures 30 cm x 7,5 cm, but its thickness anomalously changes. The letters and the text in the book change depending on the native language of the reader of the book and individuals near SCP-XXXX-A often express a feeling of age coming from the book.
When opening the book, the reader, further referred to as SCP-XXXX-A-Ω will feel euphoria for a moment.The strength of this feeling depends on how much SCP-XXXX-A-Ω knows about nature/how strong his "bond with nature" is. After about 0.5 seconds, roots will start growing from the book arround the hands of SCP-XXXX-A-Ω, completly covering them like gloves. These "gloves" could not be damaged in any way so far, but closing the book or killing SCP-XXXX-A-Ω will cause them to spread back and the book will close itself.
When the book is opened, an empty table of contents appears with the statement "ask me anything".As most text in the book this title changes to the readers native language, and individuals looking at the page will only see the text in SCP-XXXX-A-Ωs language. However, when SCP-XXXX-A-Ω is starting to think of a plant while the page is opened, an entry will appear on the table of contents with a number next to it, but when opening the book at a random page, it will be the page from the table of contents. If SCP-XXXX-A-Ω does not think of a plant and opens the book at annother page anyways, the plant that appears is random and most of the time something the reader likes or needs.
All Pages of SCP-XXXX-A follow a template with a picture of the plant on the top right side, an exact description of the plant bellow and a phrase that fills out the space that is left. The picture can change to a memory of the plant, if SCP-XXXX-A-Ω has ever looked at the plant for more than five minutes. The detail of the picture will increase with the time the reader looked at the plant, to a caption of a picture that looks like a real plant at one hour. However, when the phrase in the top right side of the page is read out loud by SCP-XXXX-A-Ω, the pictured plant will start to spread on a location the reader wants it to.
SCP-XXXX-A is only one of a collection of books, designated SCP-XXXX-A trough -C. The Foundation is aware of two other books, but only SCP-XXXX-B has ever been seen in nature. SCP-XXXX-B is a book with a metallic cover that is decorated with gold plates and a big copper gear in the center of the cover. It has the same effects as
SCP-XXXX-A, but instead of plants it is believed to be able to produce any machine from metall and machine parts.
Instead of pictures of plants, there are blueprints on the pages, but they can also only be "assembled" with a phrase.
SCP-XXXX is believed to be a powerful weapon and a anomaly that a lot of groups of intrest want to posess. How many groups of intrest are intrested is unknown, but one of the is the church of the broken god.
Discovery SCP-XXXX-A was found in a flower shop in ██████████, France, after the owner of the shop advertised his shop with his ability to grow plants with magic. For investigation, two agents were sent to the shop and caught the owner growing plants in the backroom of his shop, using the book. After minor resistamce by the owner, he and the book were taken to site Lamedh for questioning. A full log of the interview is provided in Interview log
I-XXXX-1.
I-XXXX-1:
Interviewed: Mr. Green, the owner of the shop
Interviewer: Agent Fuller
Foreword: This log is a translation of the original interview which was held in french, due to Mr. Green not beeing able to speak english fluently.
[BEGIN LOG]
Agent Fuller Hello Mr. Green. I'm agent Fuller and I work for a subdivision of the DGSE1 that deals with annormal phenomena. Today I will be asking you some questions regarding your flowershop and the plants you're growing in it.
Mr. Green I want to talk to my lawyer.
Agent Fuller As you're not held responsible for any crime, at least not yet, you wont need a lawyer. Now, please answer my questions correctly.
Mr. Green If im not held responsible for a crime, why am I beeing recorded?
Agent Fuller Mr. Green, what do you know about the book?
Mr. Green Why. Is. This. Beeing. Recorded.
Agent Fuller Answer my questions and i might consider responding to yours.
Mr. Green I am not playing your games, you can't hold me here forever.
Agent Fuller I can hold you here for longer than you might like. Now, what do you know about the bo-
Agent Fuller is interrupted by a phonecall. He looks at the screen and comes to the conclusion that he should answer it
Agent Fuller One moment
Mr. Green snorts, but does not say anything
Agent Fuller Martin, please keep it short. pause you found what? pause Okay, thanks for telling me, that really helps. Can you get me some samples? Thanks, bye for now.
Agent Fuller ends the call and starts smiling
Agent Fuller It seems not all the plants your growing in your shop are as harmless as the plants in your front rome
Mr. Green turns pale and gets more uncomfortable
Agent Fuller My partner, Martin, just found 20 cannabis plants in your closet, all perfectly grown, but without any professional equipment that would be needed to get such results. Now Green, i want you to tell me everything you know about the book and how you got it. Otherwise, i'll have to give a little hint to your local police.
Mr. Green P-Please dont do that. I would never recover from the scandal,
Agent Fuller Tell me about the book.
Mr. Green You wont believe me anyway
Agent Fuller Mr. Green. Your book and other items with powers like it are my daily bread. I have seen more weird stuff than you could ever even immagine. Now please, tell me what you know about the book.
Mr. Green Well, if you open it… it grows these roots arround your hands, they are a bit like gloves. However, if you close the book, they will grow back, but i didnt find annother way to get rid of them.
Agent Fuller What are the contents of the book?
Mr. Green On the first page, there is an empty table of contents. When i first opened the book, I thought that the cover looked like the wood of a birch tree, and suddenly an entry for "betula" appeared, it also had a number next to it, but i dont remember which one it was. I opened the book at the mid, because i expected the page number from the table of contents to be there. I was really surprised, when i actually opened the book at the exact page for bet- I mean birch trees.
Agent Fuller Didn't you think that it is a bit weird when books grow roots arround your hands and tables of contents fill themselves?
Mr. Green Reading in the book was kind of like a rush, just like if you had just taken… Well it was something that took your full attention. I had sidethoughts yes, but i didn't really care about them after that. The first time i really realized what had happened was after i closed the book.
Agent Fuller How do you use the book?
Mr. Green On every page, theres a phrase above the description of the plant, When you read that phrase out loud, the plant will grow arround you.
Agent Fuller Can you control where the plants grow or in what quantity they grow?
Mr. Green i can control where it grows, but i can't exactly control how many plants grow.
Agent Fuller Are the plants normal? I mean, do they need water?
Mr. Green Yes, but i think they are perfect, as you said, the cannabis is in a perfect condition.
Agent Fuller How did you come into posession of the book?
Mr. Green One day, Someone came into my shop. That someone was a black-haired woman, I remember he face by every detail. She had a bag with her and I think there were three books in it, one of it is the one we are talking about. She was in the shop for about 30 minutes, but she only stared at the lavender, as if she had never seen it before. After that, she took out the book and opened a page in it, i think it was one of the first ones. I was about to offer her my help, but she suddenly got a call and, after heavily cursing, she ran off, dropping the book behind her. On the doorstep she noticed it was missing and looked back, but then heard something and ran away.
Agent Fuller Could you make a phantom picture of that woman?
Mr. Green I think so, yes.
Agent Fuller Ok, you will now be asked to make some medical checks with Dr. Alarie and then you will create a phantom picture with Dr, Abrok
Mr. Green What about my drugs?
Agent Fuller You will burn them. After that you will never even think about it again
[END LOG]
Note: Subject was very cooperative at the end of the interview, maybe a bit too cooperative. The medical check did not bring information other than that Mr. Green is a healthy man. However, the phantom picture he created looks a lot like Saint Hedwig. In case of her return, we deployed an observation team to observate his shop. Mr. Green was treated with class A amnestics and was brought back to his shop under the coverstorry of him beeing interrogated by the local police because of suspicion of him beeing involved in the local drug business

Note: this is a transcript of the video footage recorded by the observation systems. In the document, swiches between cameras are marked with a ->
[BEGIN LOG]
-> camera 3
00:00 Saint Hedwig enters the shop trough the front door
00:03 Theres annother customer in the shop, but hes about to pay for a bouquet of roses
00:17 The other customer leaves the shop and as he opens the door, something that looks like a bee flies into the shop. Mr. Green asks Saint Hedwig how he can help her
00:23 Saint Hedwig looks at the owner for a moment and then takes out SCP-XXXX-B, opens it at one of the last pages and reads a phrase out loud. The phrase reads: my arms of steel will make you kneel.
00:35 After Hedwig finishes, robotic arms emerge from the computer and the cash register and grab Mr. Green at the neck.
the contact to camera 1 and microphone 1 is lost
00:41 On Saint Hedwigs command, the robotic arms drag Mr. Green into the back room and drop him at the center. After that, they hold the door open for Hedwig to enter and then close it and grow back in the cash register and the computer.
the connection to camera 1 and microphone 1 is reestablished
01:01 camera 3 -> bee
01:03 Mr. Green, who did not say anything until now, screams at Hedwig to let him go.
01:07 Saint Hedwig produces a flame in her hand and tells Mr. Green to "shut up or i will shut you up"
01:13 Mr. Green is silent and Hedwig opens the book once again, bringing up a page that can be seen by the camera now. The picture on the page looks like a chair with 5 arms attached, every arm ending in a circle. Next to the blueprint is a phrase in french with some words missing. Hedwig reads out loud: with the length of these arms and the blades of these knifes, we do not need to fear, the blood demon near. The missing words get replaced with the blades of these knifes and something starts to self-construct in the center of the room, mechanic parts start flying towards it from everywhere. The camera inside the folder only survives this because its fixed pretty hard.
The connection to microphone 2 and to the bee is lost
01:11 bee -> camera 2
01:13 The "chair" that was depicted on the page that Hedwig opened constructs itself under Mr. Green, and instead of the circles on the page, all arms have knifes at their ends.
01:15 Mr. Green starts screaming again, but Hedwigs reproduction of the flame causes him to go silent again.
01:30 Hedwig takes out a remote control and asks Mr. Green: "Where is my book?"01:36 Mr. Green stutters that he doesnt know what shes talking about and that he will do everything in his power for her if she lets him go
01:41 Saint Hedwig presses a button on the remote control and the knifes slowly start moving towards Mr. Green.
01:46 Green begs Hedwig to let him go free with the words "whoever you are, please, ill do anything"
01:58 Hedwig looks surprised for a moment and opens her book again. she reads the phrase "take my ice and find your likes" and a tablet appears in her hands, showing a red and a green glowing point. She then looks directly into the camera and says "damn, you got me on that one".
The connection to all remaining equipment is lost, except for the camera the observation team uses to monitor the store from its front
05:13 Hedwig leaves the shop and smoke is seen coming out of the windows.
09:45 The firefighters arrive but fail to extinguish the fire
11:50 The MTF arrives, it was called by the observation team after they saw Hedwig
5:32:13 The shop burned down to its foundation, but for some reason, the fire did not jump over to the other buildings. The MTF is able to recover the remains of Mr. Green and the chair he was tied to.[END LOG]
testing revealed that the chair is non anomalous, but contains parts of the bee and microphone 2
Addendum: Testing log T-XXXX-A-1
After the Events of Incident-1, Dr. Heck requested permission to test SCP-XXXX-A to determine its possible use to the foundation. Permission was granted and Dr. Heck was supplied with three (3) D-class personel to server as SCP-XXXX-A-Ω instances.
