Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]
Description: set of pencils, discovered in a foundation lab by a scientist on break. started chewing on it, felt abnormally relaxed while doing so. examined pencil and found an unfamiliar and nonexistant brand.
Addendum: test logs: initial tests show the calming effects of chewing on the pencil, noted that , then D-class with history of drug addiction is tested. d-class proceeds to eat the pencil entirely and enters nearly vegetative state. placed into observation and d-class's nails and teeth begin to turn into graphite. after passing the pencil, d-class exhibits typical withdrawl symptoms and acts overtly hostile to researchers unless offered another pencil
incident report: infected d-class attacks another d-class, scratching with graphite nails, draws blood. d-class begins to exhibit effects from chewing on pencil, becomes relaxed as they are attacked. infected begins force-feeding new d-class a pencil. containment held, object upgraded to euclid given weaponized nature of infection.
incident report 2: researcher interviews original infected after a while, they seem more amicable and passive. during interview, d-class attacks, stabbing researcher's eye with a finger. researcher briefly cries out in pain before calming down. guard enters to supress and is beset by infected and force-fed a pencil. containment breached until infected is killed by small arms fire. further testing halted and containment procedure updated to "just keep them in the box".
addendum: observation that after long period of time, graphite nails grow into new pencils, which in turn seem to act as sustenance for the infected.
researcher comments: basically states that foundation should p much just ignore the infected, off-hand mentions feeling more stressed than usual, desires way to relax. ponders if the skip can still be used as a means to de-stress.
incident report 3: containment breach after researcher consumes a pencil in private, sneaks to holding cells and releases other infected. 3-4 others are pacified and forcefed before containment is reestablished.
addendum from new, higher clearance researcher: request to upgrade classification to keter, expressing that initial discovery of the pencils means others could be floating about the labs without their knowledge. suggests hunting down all other instances of the skip and detaining those who have come in contact with them for observation. expresses mild disturbance at the thought of how intelligently the infected worked together

Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]
Description: old woman of polish/german descent. identifies self as Elma Hase, a jewish immigrant who survived the nazi reign in germany during ww2.
anomalous effects are that no details or knowledge about Elma can be remembered unless she recorded it herself. as such, all documentation is dictated by a researcher and written by the skip. this appears to be her only anomalous effect.
Addendum: extensive interviews and logs and notes between researchers about the nature of the skip. frequent debates over whether any documentation recorded by the skip can be trusted.
interview w/ skip: discussion of when abilities first appeared, talks about concentration camp and finding it easier and easier to hide herself away until eventually she escaped. gave info to allies about camp location, which was soon liberated, no mention of her involvement anywhere.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]
Description: plant that can only grow when embedded in metal, causes metal to rust as it feeds on it. requires frequent attention in the form of conversation from a living person, recordings have no effect and proximity seems important too. physical contact such as stroking the plant seems to work as well. tests regarding negative emotions aimed at the plant have shown that the plant shrivels up and dies quickly. abusing it has a seemingly opposite effect to encouraging and nurturing it.
slowly, the plant will begin to grow humanoid organ equivalents, allowing it access to some further interaction. Eventually, a head will form and attempt conversation with anyone present. of the tests performed, all formed heads are generally pleasant and show high levels of sympathy and empathy, seeking to nurture the well-being of anyone they come into contact with. fully-formed phytohumans tend to share interests in various subjects with those that raised them, and often entertain similar philosphies as well, though it has been noted that none exhibit any tendencies toward conflict or violence and expouse the virtues of pacifism and careful consideration of other opinions/viewpoints.
phytohumans seem to only survive if given daily attention, requiring at least 4 hours of pleasant human interaction to flourish. any less causes them to show signs of withering and eventually leads to their death
at this time, only the first phytohuman remains alive, and is being considered for clearance to work within the foundation. after much psychiatric analysis, she seems to be on the level and has a nearly encyclopedic knowledge of flora, as well as excellent people skills, a drive for science and discovery, and an understanding of what the foundation's overall practices and goals are. even if she joins the ranks, it has been determined that she should not be allowed to work on scp-XXXX in any capacity, nor should she learn of the full extent of the experiments conducted on her kin.
Addendum: recovered journal from place phytohumans were discovered. Goes into detail about creator's plans to unleash a militarized version of the seeds into industrial sectors. He was never able to find a way to make sure the plants grew without positive interaction. Laments this severely, constant worries that his inability to connect with actual people which led to a messy divorce and estrangement from children will lead to failure of his project. Journal was found near vine covered corpse
