Item #: SCP-5XXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The lot containing SCP-5 has been purchased by the Foundation and Site-100 has been constructed around SCP-5 to contain and study its anomalous nature; any unauthorized personnel attempting to enter Site-100 are to be interrogated and administered class-A amnestics. At no point are any unauthorized personnel to enter SCP-5. If any individuals or unauthorized staff are found inside of SCP-5 they are to be interrogated and given class-B amnestics or reprimanded accordingly.
All instances of SCP-5-A are to be contained separately in standard Anomalous Item Lockers at Site-100. No instances of SCP-5-A are to leave Site-100 without O5 authorization or removed from Scp-5 unless authorized by two level 3 senior researchers. Should any instances of SCP-5-A go missing, be removed from their containment, or SCP-5 without the authorization of at least two level 3 senior researchers, Site-100 is to immediately declare a Code Superblue and lockdown the facility. Should the instance be found to have been removed from Site-100 a Mobile Task Force is mobilized until the instance of SCP-5-A is recovered, or destroyed should it have manifested into an instance of SCP-5-B.
Any instances of SCP-5-B are to be contained within SCP-5 at all times unless testing has been authorized. If any instances of SCP-5-B are found outside of SCP-5 or Site-100 they are to be immediately terminated or recontained. SCP-5 is usually self-contained, however due to previous events (see Incident 5-A) no less than three security officers are to regularly patrol the exterior of Site-100, rotating every 8 hours.
Description: SCP-5 is an unfinished student housing building of approximately 110,000 sq ft. in Gainesville, Florida. The building consists of a basement, ground floor, and 11 additional floors in various states of completion. Every floor is filled with various construction equipment and supplies all previously owned by ██████ Construction LLC. The basement is an empty concrete room filled with construction supplies, the ground floor is a concrete parking garage open on all sides, the first floor contains an open courtyard with two wings of rooms on both sides, a construction elevator on the northern wing, and a staircase in the eastern and western sides of the building, all additional floors contain identical rooms intended to be used as dormitories. SCP-5 itself possesses no anomalous properties, however through an unknown means instances of SCP-5-A and SCP-5-B manifest inside of SCP-5 continuously.
SCP-5-A are small white unidentified porous rocks of various shapes and sizes that in all aspects seem to be pieces of ████ brand Sheetrock and exhibit no anomalous properties unless completely submerged or implanted in specific materials (see Addendum 5.1). Should an instance of SCP-5-A be implanted into a material associated with construction or building, an instance of SCP-5-B will manifest.
SCP-5-B are humanoid creatures created by implanting an instance of SCP-5-A into a material. SCP-5-B will immediately manifest out of the material that SCP-5-A was implanted in, for example an instance of SCP-5-A buried in a pile of soil will result in a sentient humanoid creature completely composed of soil forming, which will begin to wander aimlessly if no further stimulation is offered. Should an instance of SCP-5-B become aware of anyone near it various reactions may occur depending on the material in which SCP-5-A is implanted (see Addendum 5.1). If the instance of SCP-5-A is removed, then that instance of SCP-5-B will fall apart or disintegrate depending on the material.
Interviewed: Agent Thatch
Interviewer: Director ███████
Foreword: The following interview was recorded approximately 36 hours after an instance of SCP-5-A was found missing from Site-100 and 6 hours after recontainment.
<Begin Log, 7:18 PM>
Director ███████: So, Agent Thatch I suppose I owe you a great deal of gratitude.
Agent Thatch shifts uncomfortably in his chair.
Agent Thatch: Not at all sir. I was merely following established protocol.
Director ███████: Exactly. Site-100 I know has been regarded as an easy assignment and due to that some personnel become soft. But, you retained your discipline for…
Director ███████ shuffles through several papers before pulling one out and observing it.
Director ███████: 3 years, 5 months, and 12 days. You followed the exact same routine for 3 and a half years when most stop checking the little things after a few weeks.
Agent Thatch: I only checked the room and saw the smashed locker sir. I didn’t do anything heroic.
Director ███████: Really? Because it was my understanding that you volunteered to recover the instance of SCP-5-1.
Agent Thatch: Yes sir, that is true.
Director ███████: And how was your mission?
Agent Thatch: After reviewing security logs we were able to determine SCP-5-A was removed at ████ PM though we were unable to identify who was on the recording.
Director ███████: And after that you were one of the agents assigned to the mobile task force to retrieve SCP-5-A?
Agent Thatch: Correct, we found that Dr. Pila had not been seen since yesterday and after finding his house empty we pursued him.
Director ███████: Where did you catch up with him?
Agent Thatch: The [EXPLICIT] was outside of Miami, he planned to hop on a cruise and escape to the Bahamas. Pardon my language, sir.
Director ███████: It’s nothing. As for Dr. Pila what was it that happened?
Agent Thatch: We cornered him in an alley outside of a casino. He… he was waiting for us. He put the rock into his pocket and pulled out a bag of teeth… a [EXPLICIT] bag of teeth.
Director ███████: He manifested an instance of SCP-5-B out of teeth?
Agent Thatch: Yeah, it was nasty the thing started pulling the teeth out of Buford’s mouth when it got a hold on him. I had to detonate a grenade to blow the thing to pieces and recover the SCP-5-A from inside it.
Director ███████: You were successful in capturing Dr. Pila?
Agent Thatch: Yeah, got him a few minutes later.
Director ███████: I understand that Agent Buford may have… been rough.
Agent Thatch: Yeah, I suppose you could say he wanted a tooth for a tooth.

Closing Statement: No comment
Test A - 5/15
Subject: Dr. Celia
Procedure: Dr. Celia placed an instance of SCP-5-A inside a pile of dust weighing approximately .5 kg.
Results: An instance of SCP-5-B, henceforth known as SCP-5-B-1, immediately manifested and proceeded to float in midair.
Analysis: SCP-5-B-1 was successfully contained with no issue in a 3.5 by 3.5 meter sealed containment cell.
Test B - 5/17
Subject: Dr. H████
Procedure: Dr. H████ placed an instance of SCP-5-A in a bucket containing approximately one gallon of water.
Results: An instance of SCP-5-B, henceforth known as SCP-5-B-2, manifested after several seconds had passed and proceeded to slide across the floor then shape into a humanoid form. SCP-5-B-2 attempted to attack Dr. H████, however after momentary alarm it became apparent that SCP-5-B-2 possessed low levels of strength and was unable to cause bodily harm to Dr. H████.
Analysis: SCP-5-B-2 was contained successfully in a single metal barrel and placed in a 3.5 by 3.5 meter containment cell.
Test C - 6/08
Subject: D-9855
Procedure: D-9855 was not made aware of SCP-5-A’s anomalous properties, but was instructed to place an instance of SCP-5-A into a hollowed-out brick and then placed the brick in a pile of 25 identical bricks.
Results: An instance of SCP-5-B, henceforth known as SCP-5-B-3, instantly manifested and proceeded to stand motionlessly. D-9855 proceeded to attempt to communicate with SCP-5-B-3. D-9855 kicked SCP-5-B-3 in what would be the human approximation of an ankle.
Analysis: [REDACTED], SCP-5-B-3 successfully terminates. “We need to hire more janitors” —Dr. Celia
Test D - 8/27
Subject: Dr. Bli
Procedure: Dr. Bli placed an instance of SCP-5-A inside of a hollowed copy of the current Encyclopedia Britannica of generic make and model and then placed it into a pile of 30 identical copies.
Results: An instance of SCP-5-B henceforth known as SCP-5-B-4, manifested after approximately 5 minutes. SCP-5-B-4 began to verbally communicate with Dr. Bli (see Interview 5-B) despite no obvious means of vocalization.
Analysis: SCP-B-4 was contained successfully in a 3.5 by 3.5 meter containment cell.
Interviewed: SCP-5-B-4
Dr. Dayton: Dr. Dayton
Foreword: The following interview occurred approximately 4 hours after test D on 8/27/20██.
<Begin Log, 3:14PM>
Dr. Dayton: We will begin this log by establishing some ground terms. My name is Dr. Dayton, do you have a name?
SCP-5-B-4: How would I? I understand you would like to address me as SCP-5-B-4. Is that correct?
Dr. Dayton: Yes.
SCP-5-B-4: Then we may begin.
Dr. Dayton: Alright then. Where are you from? Where did you originate and how?
SCP-5-B-4: A good question. You know the answer better than I, do why ask?
Dr. Dayton: I’m not sure I understand.
SCP-5-B-4: I was created here, today, by someone. My thanks to them by the way.
Dr. Dayton: You have no prior knowledge of your existence before today?
SCP-5-B-4: I did not exist before today.
Dr. Dayton: What about the stone from which you were created?
SCP-5-B-4: That I know very little about. But, I will explain as best I understand. Those stones are a bit like… a brain, I suppose would be a good analogy. Implant the brain in the body and you get an individual.
Dr. Dayton: So, the stone is like, your… being? What you are?
SCP-5-B-4: Yes.
Dr. Dayton: Then why are you the first to attempt communication with us? If all of your kind are fully sentient then why attack us?
SCP-5-B-4: There are things that even your Foundation doesn't know about doctor. Whether we discuss SCP-682 or even SCP-████, you don’t know everything.
<End Log, 3:24 PM>
Closing Statement: Dr. Dayton’s request for further interviews and testing with SCP-5-B-4 is pending review. It is currently unknown how SCP-5-B-4 attained knowledge of the Foundation or contained SCPs.
