Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a sedated state within a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site-88 and restrained in such a way as to prevent as much fine movement as possible. The containment cell features a layer of light-absorbent material, with the walls, ceiling and floor consisting of panels that can be rotated to reveal highly-reflective surfaces. A single surveillance camera is placed in front of SCP-XXXX, facing it at an exact, head-on angle with a 1° margin-of-error. One Containment Specialist is to passively observe the recorded footage during their shift for any alterations in behavior Two D-Class Personnel are to continuously observe the live footage on 4-hour rotations.

Should the margin of error be exceeded, or should SCP-5XXX begin absorbing its containment cell, video feed is to be ceased immediately and a sitewide lockdown is to be initiated until SCP-XXXX’s behavior returns to normal initiate Containment Protocol 5XXX-49██-████.

While communicating with SCP-XXXX, the camera is to be temporarily disabled to allow the entrance (and subsequent ‘imprinting’) of a single Class-D Personnel, while instructions are given through the cell’s intercom system. An Audio/Video recording is to be taken of the event. No physical contact is to be made with SCP-XXXX at any point.

Description: SCP-5XXX is a sculpture measuring roughly 3m tall and vaguely resembling a human male. It appears to be made of many interlinked glass tiles, which can at times “shift” around when SCP-5XXX moves. Its precise methods of locomotion and vocalization are unclear, as penetration of its surface "skin" has proven impossible by conventional means (See Research Log 5XXX-1). The surface of the anomaly seems to slowly but completely absorb any material that comes into contact with it, while also remaining invulnerable to any attempts to damage it. All attempts to cover or otherwise obscure individual tiles result in the material being completely absorbed by SCP-XXXX. When entering a period of hostility, it will remain so for roughly 24 hours before returning to a "dormant" state.

Notes: Acquired by the foundation after local police found the shredded remains of several dozen recently missing civilians and locally extinct species of birds, rodents, and other animals; Largely consisting of small bits of clothing and viscera arranged into several neat piles around the statue. Class B Amnestics were given to any witnesses and a non-anomalous dummy statue has been commissioned by artist R██ ███████████ and subsequently erected in its place, with genetically-engineered replacements for the extinct fauna of L███ ████ being released into the wild soon thereafter.

While SCP-XXXX's mirrors fail to reflect any inanimate objects, upon being approached by an animal or human individual within a range of 3m, hence referred to as SCP-XXXX-A, a reflection will begin to form and will quickly manifest as another member of that individual’s species, hence referred to as SCP-XXXX-B. The individual represented appears to have the face of either a previous victim of SCP-XXXX, or a new face created from a combination of their features. Once an individual has approached the figure, it will ignore the presence of all other individuals that come into range. SEE ADDENDUM C.

Upon completing its visual manifestation, SCP-XXXX-B will display a range of erratic and seemingly random behaviors towards SCP-XXXX-A, from friendly conversation to extreme hostility and violence. During hostile episodes, SCP-XXXX-A will often use some unknown process to convince SCP-XXXX-B to open the containment cell. SCP-XXXX-A then proceeds to attack every member of SCP-XXXX-B’s species in sight for a period of 24 hours before returning to a “dormant” state. During this time, it will often manipulate the psychology of those looking at it to achieve goals it wouldn't be able to otherwise (See ADDENDUM B).
It is unclear what causes these radical differences in behavior. SEE ADDENDUM A.

CONTAINMENT PROTOCOL 5XXX-49██-████

Action 20-Lambda-A: All panels within SCP-5XXX's containment cell are to be rotated immediately. If the anomaly has escaped its cell, initiate action 20-Lambda-B.

Action 20-Lambda-B: In the event of a containment breach with SCP-XXXX, avoid all eye contact with the anomaly. On-site security forces are to be deployed to reclaim the anomaly equipped with large, specially made 2.1x0.75m. mirrors. If possible, the anomaly is to be surrounded in such a way that it is nearly impossible for it to look away from the mirrors. Upon being sedated, the anomaly is to be placed inside a mirrored transport container and returned to its cell. If the anomaly escapes Site-88, initiate action 20-Halloway-B.

Action 20-Lambda-C: Initiate lockdown and evacuation of residents of Baldwin County. On-site security and nearby Mobile Task Forces are to sweep the area and contain SCP-XXXX via establishing a perimeter or waiting for it to re-enter a dormant state after 24 hours have passed. Maintain lockdown until the anomaly is safely secured in its cell.
