Per the greenlighting policy, first-time authors must get concepts reviewed in the Ideas Critique Forum or IRC chatrooms before creating a feedback thread in the Drafts and Critique forum. Draft critique can still be sought via IRC and PM without greenlights.

When you have a draft that you know for sure the audience will like, bring it to Drafts Critique Forum. Please note that the forums move much slower than the chat, and the draft forum moves slower than the ideas forum!

The mainsite-run IRC chatrooms are the most reliable source of real-time critique discussion.

SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-XXXX-B, as well as matter that come into contact with SCP-XXXX-B, are to be incinerated within 10 minutes of initial production unless given clearance from at least two O5 council members. SCP-XXXX must remain enclosed in at least three seperate layers of fiberglass at Site-███. All personnel that come into contact with SCP-XXXX-B or SCP-XXXX are to be incinerated within 10 minutes.

In the event another SCP-XXXX-B instance is produced, personnel must incinerate all matter in the general vicinity of the instance, as well as enclose the instance with at least three layers of fiberglass.

All living subjects that come into contact of SCP-XXXX-B are to grow.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a wooden humanoid that, upon viewing any living humanoid organism, will copy the appearance of that humanoid at will. It can change to any previously viewed organism, however it has preference to take the form of Dr. ██████ ████████. Although SCP-XXXX is fully made of wood from that of a cherry blossom tree, it cannot be incinerated or otherwise destroyed. Although x-Rays show inconclusive results, SCP-XXXX could possibly also copy the internal organs of whatever form it takes.

Any cluster of matter that comes into contact with SCP-XXXX (with an exception to fiberglass) will be turned into cherry blossom wood within 10 seconds. Over the course of 30 minutes, the afflicted wood will slowly transform into SCP-XXXX-B through unknown means, until it is completely converted to SCP-XXXX-B. The only known way to stop or halt this process is by incinerating the wood, as all known means of physical or chemical alterations of said wood, aside from incineration, do not work.

In the result a living subject makes contact with SCP-XXXX-B, the subject will [REDACTED]. Said subject will also become a SCP-XXXX-C instance. All SCP-XXXX-C instances will need to be fed to grow, and must be nurtured accordingly. Failure to do so will result in termination to all responsible personnel.

Addendum 1-A: SCP-XXXX has produced vocalizations through unknown means. Said vocalizations will cause anyone who listens to it to be immediately turned into a cherry blossom tree with no anomalous features. Under no circumstances should SCP-XXXX be allowed near any SCP-XXXX-B instances.

Addendum 1-B: All personnel at Site-███ were terminated except one. All SCP items are accounted for, and no breaches were made during the absence of personnel. Video surveillance was infected with an unknown virus and consequently, was automatically deleted. All terminated personnel were turned into random varieties of non-anomalous wood, with the exception of Dr. ██████ ████████, who is not accounted for.

Addendum 1-C: A SCP-XXXX-C instance, was found within the ventilation system of Site-███. Subject displayed great hostility towards personnel, as one that grows normally does, killing three in the process of retreating to a nearby storm drain in the commons area within Site-███. Immediate lockdown of all ventilation and plumbing systems is currently in effect. All on-site personnel are to be bodyguarded by at least one trained agent. Under no circumstances should the SCP-XXXX-C instance not be allowed to grow.
