Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained within a 10mx10m enclosure at Provisional Site-27, located 87 kilometers south-east of Baghdad, Iraq.

Inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the enclosure will be conducted weekly by Class D personnel previously exposed to SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects. To take advantage of the 'double-jeopardy' properties of SCP-XXXX, Class D personnel will be rotated from this duty as infrequently as possible.

Personnel directly interacting with SCP-XXXX must be no higher than Class B with Level 3 clearance, and must be diagnosed with an active communication disorder. Any interaction between SCP-XXXX and personnel with higher clearance or classification, with or without an applicable medical diagnosis, is unexceptionally prohibited. See addendum XXXX-4.

Personnel are strongly advised to remove authorized communicative devices such as phones, pagers, audio/video recorders, and writing utensils prior to entering the containment area to avoid loss of personal items and foundation equipment.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid statue measured to be 2 meters tall and 1 meter wide. Samples taken, along with external appearance, indicate SCP-XXXX is comprised of steatite, colloquially known as soapstone. In line with typical geological findings, 87% of the SCP-XXXX is a mixture of silica, magnesia, and water.

SCP-XXXX is posed in a kneeling position with its left knee touching the ground, right foot placed in front of the body, and head faced down towards its right side. SCP-XXXX possesses no arms, displaying bilateral forequarter amputations. Facial features or other identifying elements are also not present. The only anomalous physical property noted is SCP-XXXX's immovability, as any and all non-anomalous attempts to relocate SCP-XXXX have failed.

Subjects within 5 meters of SCP-XXXX rapidly develop neurological or physiological disorders or injuries that adversely affect subjects' abilities to communicate such as: aphasia¹, articulation disorders², dyslexia, illiteracy, and even foreign accent syndrome³. Much like non-anomalous disorders, subjects who acquire the same disorder present with differing levels of severity and rarely receive the same or similar prognoses. See Experiment Series XXXX-A for more in depth examples.

Addenda Series XXXX-A

Addendum XXXX-1: Addendum added 24/8/1962

During Experiment Log XXXX-27, SCP-XXXX was discovered to be sentient and capable of communication, through methods not fully understood, with subjects residing within its area of influence; subjects must be afflicted with a non-anomalous communication disorder or injury prior to entering SCP-XXXX's containment area. A formal diagnosis is not required, nor must the disorder be categorized as particularly severe. Only one such subject currently exists, Dr. Kaliya El Guindi, who is hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-I⁴.

SCP-XXXX-I note that SCP-XXXX's voice originates from inside instances' minds, indicating a form of telepathic link between SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-I. This is further evident due to Foundation monitoring equipment being unable to detect when SCP-XXXX is actively communicating.

Addendum XXXX-2: Addendum added 15/10/1962

SCP-XXXX-I initially responded verbally to SCP-XXXX, but as repeated interactions continued SCP-XXXX-I began to respond simply by thinking, often without realizing that she is not physically speaking. Even when made aware of this fact, SCP-XXXX-I often revert back to telepathic communication after a brief period. This development has caused documentation of interactions to be increasingly challenging.
