Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Outside of testing conditions or introductory personnel training regimens, SCP-XXXX is to remain secured within a 3x3x3 M containment chamber within Sector XX of Site-XX. This chamber is not to be accessed by Site personnel without written permission from Site staff possessing Level 3 Clearance and above. Under no circumstances outside of testing conditions are complete or partially complete human, animal or other skeletal remains to be introduced directly to SCP-XXXX.
Skeletal remains, human or otherwise, affected by SCP-XXXX, designated as SCP-XXXX-1, are to be removed from the chamber once SCP-XXXX has animated them, and are to be removed to a secure chamber to allow them time to de-animate.
Remains of human, animal or other species possessing more than 60% of their original tissue and muscle, in addition to possessing a skeleton, are designated as SCP-XXXX-2, and outside of testing conditions, are to be terminated immediately by appropriate security personnel.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an animate and complete adult male human skeleton measuring 2m tall when fully standing, and weighs approximately 4kg. Aside from a small, silver plate nailed into the front of the skull, SCP-XXXX is otherwise normal for a skeleton of this size in intact condition.
Despite being animate and capable of independent movement, SCP-XXXX is not an intelligent entity. When in containment, it has been observed to alternate between walking in circles, repeatedly bumping into the containment chamber door and walls, or standing still for several hours at a time. There is no observed pattern to these actions, and it has been observed to switch between these at random intervals. SCP-XXXX will not respond to physical examination(Both through direct and indirect methods), orders vocalized in its vicinity, threatening posture and movements or other stimuli, and will ignore all attempts at communication directed at it. The exception to this phase of activity is the creation of an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are skeletal remains that have been animated by SCP-XXXX through a combination of physical contact and manipulation as to themselves become animate and capable of independent action and movement.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are formed when SCP-XXXX “assembles” them if they are in pieces, or in the case of those already in an assembled condition, simply touching and subsequently animating them through unknown meansand often resemble and move like the species they originated from.Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are similar to SCP-XXXX, in that outside the presence of inanimate skeletal remains in the vicinity, will ignore, but are capable of perceiving certain stimuli.
SCP-XXXX is believed to have been created as a result of research done by POI-XXXX, who was primarily responsible for funding, with assistance from POI-XXXX-2 through POI-XXXX-6, with the primary focus to create an army of intelligent, inexpensive and ultimately expendable soldiers for both personal use, and for the use of GOI-371 as an army for protection its members, and for other purposes unknown at this time.
Recovery: SCP-XXXX was recovered from the estate of POI-XXXX, known formerly to the Foundation as Mr.XXXXXXXXX, a wealthy, local business owner, following local news reports of a “Living Skeleton” seen during a large celebration being held on the grounds at the time. These reports were accompanied by both security camera and cell phone footage. Personnel embedded in regional media outlets removed these videos and reports and alerted Site-XX.
Responding Agents arrived shortly thereafter, which were successful in capturing SCP-XXXX using a large net. Staff and guests of the event were given Class-A Amnestics. After which, a cover story of refreshments and food served at the event being contaminated by LSD, which was planted by agents on the scene, was subsequently disseminated to local media outlets, under the premise that the guests had been heavily hallucinating, and had mistaken another guest at the event in costume to be a real skeleton.
Agents attempting to apprehend POI-XXXX at the event were unsuccessful, as POI-XXXX had fled the estate well before local agents could arrive on the scene. However, during the course of a thorough investigation of the grounds surrounding the estate, a concealed entrance leading to an underground structure was discovered which had been set up as a functional laboratory, which due to evidence recovered, had been evacuated quickly several hours beforehand.
Among other recovered materials, the research portion of the structure contained a large number of texts known to be connected to GOI-371, along with numerous volumes, both modern and esoteric, which consisted of treatises and studies in both Alchemy, and Necromancy.
All notes, records or other research materials made by POI-XXXX or personnel employed by them had been destroyed, with the exception of single, fire-damaged book which had acted as a private journal for POI-XXXX, though the vast majority of its content is illegible due to fire damage, the most recent entries were still legible, and available below.
Recovered Journal Entry Excerpts:
(ILLEGIBLE)/(Entry?) #862 DATE: XX/XX/2015
“…nd, among other problems we’ve encountered on our little project here,
the subjects we’ve raised aren't what we hoped for at all. Maybe the books
are wrong, in particular, that translation of the [REDACTED], that one of my > assistants managed to purchase is just horrible, I should know, as I speak
that tongue fluently. Maybe we’re doing something else wrong, and at this
point, I just can’t take it anymore, the failure after failure.”
“The test subjects we’ve raised and altered don’t even seem to think for
themselves, all they do is walk in circles within their cells like robots,
hells wouldn't that be funny? All the money, resources, manpower and other
things I’ve thrown at this project, and all we’ve managed to do is create a > small army of dead idiots that can only raise other dead idiots, and they
wouldn't even need to be dead to be just that, a bunch of
[EXPLICATIVE]used IDIOTS!”
“No grand, undying army for me to control, no vast wealth to wield without
discretion, hells, I can’t even go into my own office without someone making > a remark about how I smell, we’ll I’m [EXPLICATIVE] sorry buddy, if you
worked with corpses as a hobby, you’d smell like one too,[EXPLICATIVE].”
“You know what? I’ve been thinking this whole thing over, and my final
decision, since it’s my own money paying for all this? [EXPLICATIVE] this
whole operation. If those [EXPLICATIVE] from church want someone that badly > to conduct their “Ultimate Research”, they can find someone else more
willing and qualified to do it. It was fun in the beginning, while it seemed > new and exciting, but now?”
“I am just so [EXPLICATIVE] sick of corpses and skeletons, the smell is the > absolute worst, and my assistants are too. We’re going someplace nice and
warm, preferably with long, sandy beaches, those colorful and fruity
tropical drinks, and people that have an actual pulse.”
“In other news, a good friend of mine from the city swung by, visiting, and > asked me today if he could borrow the house for some party he was planning
on having, and you know what? I gave him the property deed and the damn keys > right then and there. Free of charge. That house was a [EXPLICATIvE] cover
story from the get-go. I never liked it, too [EXPLICATIVE] big if you asked > me, and now that I think about it, is it a [EXPLICATIVE] cliche for the
token, single rich guy in the area to have a big empty house or something?”
“Either way, most of the “important” documents left in the house are fakes
anyway, and the real ones are either in the lab, ready to be destroyed at a > moments notice, or within my own personnel briefcase. We’re leaving
tonight.”
“Just got done with final preparation, though one last [EXPLICATIVE]-up of
this whole operation is that one of my assistants reported that Subject #32 > somehow managed to get out of its cell and walk right out the [EXPLICATIVE] > opened exit tunnel. I just saw the playback, but I’m not worried, it
shouldn't look TOO out of place considering what time of the year it is, and > by the time the media picks it up, we’ll all be long gone by then. Hells,
maybe that’ll spice up XXXXXXXX’s party like he wanted, but I just don’t
care anymore.”
“Me and my assistants are starting over, a whole new life(heh) somewhere
else away from this [EXPLICATIVE] of an operation, no Church breathing down > our necks, no impossible deadlines for research results. We’re done here,
and that means no connections or reminders. All the test subjects, research > data, recordings and personal notes are going to be destroyed, including
this journal of mine.”
Entry #FINAL. DATE: I DON’T CARE ANYMORE.
“Writing this last entry, even as the rest of the research data we gathered > over the years burns, and the test subjects we raised turn to hot ashes,
with the exception of #32, even as my assistants are telling me it’s time to > go, all I feel is relief. After all, if we had succeeded, where would we be?
A world of nothing but the dead, thats where, and that’s no place for me,
thank you very much. The Church is full of idiots, just because [REDACTED]
predicted some great shift of the life force of the planet doesn't mean it
had to be this way, or hells, who’s to say it would happen like they said it > would?”
“This is the kind of [EXPLICATIVE] that makes me think of how my life would > have turned out if I had just gone into the family business like dad had
wanted me too, instead of joining the [EXPLICATIVE] Church back in
university. Sure, the industry connections they gave me, and the wealth I
achieved using them were good perks, and meeting my assistants? My only real > friends in the world? That was a bonus. But what's all the wealth and
connections in the world worth when everyone else is dead?”
“Nothing, that's what. And with this, a chapter of my life comes to a close, > and another one, in a better place with good friends,begins.”
Addendum 1: [Optional additional paragraphs]
Item #: SCP-5255
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5255 is to be kept within a large, reinforced terrarium at all times, with feed and water remotely dispensed hourly. Direct observation of SCP-5255 is to be conducted through remote video cameras or through the use of drones where appropriate. No member of staff, with the exception of the Site-27 ODU are to approach an instance of SCP-5255-1. Instances of SCP-5255-1 are to be disposed of using Site-27’s reinforced blast chamber.
Description: SCP-5255 is a single female specimen of Sylvilagus floridanus, possessing stark white fur, and responsible for the manifestation of instances of SCP-5255-1.
Instances of SCP-5255-1 singularily appear within a 3 Meter radius of SCP-5255 continuously, necessitating immediate remote retrieval by associated ODU Personnel to prevent a buildup within the containment area, and to prevent accidental detonation of one or more instances of SCP-5255-1.
SCP-5255-1 instances are large ovoid ceramic objects that superficially resemble easter eggs, and have been observed to appear in a number of colors, with varying designs painted on their surfaces.
Each instance of SCP-5255-1 thus encountered has contained a variable amount of nitroglycerin within, which when the corresponding SCP-5255-1 instance is breached or otherwise broken, immediately produces a large explosion possessing the same color and patternpainted onto the instance.
Recovery: SCP-5255 was recovered following reports of "Colorful Explosions" within ████████ National Park, which was thought to be an uncontained instance of SCP-████. SCP-5255 was discovered within a clearing, surrounded by several large craters and undetonated instances of SCP-5255-1. SCP-5255 was contained with minimum effort and relocated following observation of its anomalous properties, though the attempted recovery of the SCP-5255-1 instances present at the location resulted in 8 casualties among Foundation Personnel following improper handling and subsequent detonation of an estimated 14 instances.
Addendum 1:
Following Incident-5255-37, during which SCP-5255-1-243 detonated prematurely within SCP-5255's terrarium during disposal procedures, SCP-5255 itself was discovered to be immune to the detonation of SCP-5255-1 instances, regardless of the size or power of the explosion, and will typically right itself before moving away at moderate speed in a direction opposite of the epicenter of a detonated SCP-5255-1 instance, which serves to spread multiple instances of SCP-5255-1 over a large area, posing a direct threat to both Civilian and Foundation personnel.
Addendum 2: Notice by Dr. █████, Lead Researcher for SCP-5255.
Staff found to be referring to SCP-5255 as “The Keter Bunny” or “The “Real” Easter Bunny”, along with any variations thereof within official documentation or emails pertinent to containment efforts will have a mark placed on their employment record. Repeated incidents will result in demotion and transfer to another Site.
You know who you are. As of today, you’re all walking on eggshells.
