Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Keter (See Incident Log XXXX-B.)

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-XXXX-1 is to be contained in a 10m x 10m x 2m garden plot at Bio Site-103, and are to be watered, weeded, and otherwise maintained manually by on-site personnel. Under no circumstances are instances of SCP-XXXX-1 to be consumed by SCP-XXXX-2 unless approved by 2 Level-3 Personnel and 1 Level-4 Personnel for testing purposes.

SCP-XXXX-2 is currently housed at Site-17 in a secured humanoid containment chamber measuring 3m x 3m x 3m. The chamber is to be lined with heat resistant chemicals and electrically insulated materials on a monthly basis. All furniture in SCP-XXXX-2's containment cell is to be securely anchored to the floors of the containment cell, as well as flame proofed and electrically insulated. No loose objects are to be allowed into SCP-XXXX-2's containment cell. The current whereabouts of SCP-XXXX-2 are currently unknown (See Incident Log XXXXB). Any information regarding the location of SCP-XXXX-2 is to be reported immediately to O5-█. The recontainment of SCP-XXXX-2 is considered a Level 4 Foundation Priority.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a shrub-like plant with flowers showing similarities with Rhododendron arboreum. Rather than the typical bright red color that the flower of standard members of this species displays, flowers exhibit a dark blue color. SCP-XXX-1 grows similar to that of a Rhododendron arboreum, but can grow regularly without any form of sunlight. When the flowers are consumed, human subjects do not undergo the expected symptoms of low blood pressure and heart rate that are regularly observed when a human consumes the 'mad honey' (grayanotoxins) of the genus Rhododendron, but rather claim that they feel a sensation of "ever so slight heightened vitality [sic]." These effects are amplified under the circumstance that during cultivation, SCP-XXXX-1 is in the presence of humans hominids during its 'bloom' period. SCP-XXXX-2 declares that, instead of sunlight, SCP-XXXX-1 subsists off of a "persistent and omnipresent energy [sic]." However, no current technology that the foundation possesses is capable of detecting such an energy1.

SCP-XXXX-2 is a bald, male human of Nepali descent, with a height of 1.78 meters and a weight of 68.04 kg. SCP-XXXX-2 speaks fluent English, Nepali, and Maithili. Based off of physical examinations, researchers estimate that SCP-XXXX-2 is around ██ years old. SCP-XXXX-2 refuses to provide any information as to their name, age, and origin, stating that they is "not defined by the limits of linguistic identification, but by [his] actions [sic]." Researchers have determined SCP-XXXX-2's origin via cross examination of DNA sequences of different ethnicities.

The anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX-2 become present whenever a significant quantity of SCP-XXXX-1 is consumed2, to which SCP-XXXX-2 is able to apply different forms of energy on any object that is observable by SCP-XXXX-2. All the energies observed by researchers that SCP-XXXX-2 have included thermal energy, kinetic energy, electrical energy, magnetic energy, and rotational energy. Researchers have had difficulty performing tests with SCP-XXXX-2 as it is uncooperative when using it's anomalous properties, claiming that usage "disrupts the flow [sic]." As a result, researchers are unable to say whether or not SCP-XXXX-2 can manipulate other forms of energy such as potential energy, chemical energy, gravitational energy, etc. After being provided with 3 kg of SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-2 was able to heat the object to 488.71 degrees Kelvin, invigorate 12 kilowatts of electricity, accelerate up to 35 meters per second, and rotate to 978 RPM. Tests have proven that the amount of joules to cause these actions are inconsistent among different tests despite the same amount of SCP-XXXX-1 being provided. Researcher Redwood has hypothesized that SCP-XXXX-2 is manipulating test results in order deceive foundation personnel due to the his objection against foundation efforts.

SCP-XXXX-2 claims to limit life in order maintain balance of an energy flow mentioned in the previous paragraph. SCP-XXXX-2 appears to dislike the foundations efforts to contain dangerous anomalies that threaten human populations, and often voices concerns about "disturbances in the balance [sic]." 68% of all "disturbances" asserted SCP-XXXX-2, have occurred between 20 seconds and 2 hours, 12 minutes and 4 seconds of a natural disaster resulting in a minimum of 42 27 human casualties. SCP-XXXX-2 insists that, before containment, it was responsible for certain wildfires, lightning strikes, earthquakes, and other catastrophic natural disasters targeting humans "that have prolonged the existence of life on Earth [sic]."

Addendum XXXXA; Interview XXXXA:

Date: 1█/██/1991
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX-2
Interviewer: Researcher Redwood

[BEGIN LOG]

(Researcher Redwood pulls out the chair across from SCP-XXXX-2 and sits down)

Researcher Redwood: "Hello SCP-XXXX-2."

SCP-XXXX-2 remains silent.

Researcher Redwood: "I've come to ask you more questions, if that's alright."

SCP-XXXX-2 continues to remain silent.

Researcher Redwood: "So regarding your, uh (Researcher Redwood pauses) powers, do you know how you are able to apply these energies to objects we've provided to you?"

SCP-XXXX-2 continues to remain silent.

Researcher Redwood: "Look, XXXX-2, if you aren't goi-"

SCP-XXXX-2: "Your numeric identification of me is insulting."

Researcher Redwood: "Well what would you have us… I mean me, call you?"

SCP-XXXX-2 remains silent.

Researcher Redwood: "How does XXXX-1, the flower, allow you to utilize these powers? Is it a source of fuel? Or does it simply allow you to use powers without consequence?"

SCP-XXXX-2 continues to remain silent.

Researcher Redwood: "Okay, I think we're done here."

Researcher Redwood gets up from his chair.

SCP-XXXX-2: "Sit.""

Surprised, Researcher Redwood returns to the table and sits back down.

SCP-XXXX-2: "Ecology."

Researcher Redwood: "What about it?"

SCP-XXXX-2: "Plants are the producers. They photosynthesize sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into food. They also accumulate the nutrients in the soil they're rooted in. The carbon dioxide and water is chemically bonded together into glucose using energy thats from the sun. But (SCP-XXXX-2 signs quotation marks with his fingers) SCP-XXXX-1 as you imbeciles call it, is the only thing in the world that synthesizes glucose using a different form of energy that it collects from the environment around it. Always there, stronger in some places, weaker in others.

Researcher Redwood: "And you, the primary consumer, are able to break this energy and use it for your powers?"

SCP-XXXX-2 nods.

Researcher Redwood: "Then how come other humans that eat XXXX-1 aren't able to do… (Researcher Redwood shuffles papers in a file and pulls out a photo of a test involving SCP-XXXX-2 setting an apple on fire) this?"

SCP-XXXX-2: "I've trained for years, meditating, and developed these (SCP-XXXX-2 scoffs) 'powers.' (SCP-XXXX-2 pauses) The only way I can maintain balance is if I accumulate this energy from around us and limit life and sustain harmony. (SCP-XXXX-2 appears perplexed, and slouches in his chair)

Researcher Redwood: "That will be all. Thank you, XXXX-2."

[END LOG]

Notes: SCP-XXXX-2 continued to stay in the interview room for 2 hours and 46 minutes and refused to leave before standing up and being escorted out by security. Upon returning to his containment chamber, SCP-XXXX-2 has remained in the 'Sukhasana' yoga pose with their eyes closed for about 11 and a half years, only ever moving to eat small portions of the provisions provided regularly to SCP-XXXX-2's chamber. SCP-XXXX-2 has not opened their eyes since this event, but is able to eat food if provided to him by hand

Addendum XXXXB; Incident XXXXA:

Addendum XXXXC; Incident XXXXB:

Date: 06/██/2002

(Foreword: SCP-XXXX-2 has been in the 'Sukhasana' phase for 11 years, █ months, ███ days, and ██ hours following the events of Addendum XXXXA. The following is a video log from the surveillance camera in SCP-XXXX-2's chamber.)

[BEGIN VIDEO LOG]

(SCP-XXXX-2 is sitting the the 'Sukhasana' yoga pose in the middle of their chamber, as has been regular for the previous 11 years. SCP-XXXX-2 suddenly opens their eyes and gets up from their position.)

SCP-XXXX-2: (translated from Nepali) "I'm the producer now."

(SCP-XXXX-2 proceeded to [DATA EXPUNGED] exiting their chamber, causing a containment breach. On site security was called and responded to the Sector the containment chamber was housed in. [DATA EXPUNGED] resulting in ██ casualties and the containment breach of SCP-███ and SCP-████. SCP-XXXX-2 exited Site-17 on foot, and attempts to search for SCP-XXXX-2 have been unsuccessful to current date. The number of natural disasters since the breach of SCP-XXXX-2 has increased, but the severity of each natural disaster has decreased.)
