Item #: SCP-5545

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5545 is contained in a humanoid containment cell at Research Site-███. Where it is to be kept in a medically induced coma except for testing and interview during which it is to never leave its cell. While SCP-5545 is comatose an IV provides it with round the clock nutrients. SCP-5545 is to be X-rayed and put through an MRI machine after each test and interview to check for changes to its physicality. SCP-5545's cell must be thoroughly inspected before and after each time it is active. Guards monitoring SCP-5545 are equipped with 2 reality anchors and visors that negate cognitohazards as well as dart rifles filled with tranquilizer darts. All test proposals must be submitted to the head researcher of Site-███: Dr.█████████. Under no circumstances is SCP-5545 to bear witness to any humanoid SCPs.

Description: SCP-5545 is a teenage male approximately 1.6 meters tall and 160 pounds. Upon inspection, SCP-5545 appears to contain no anomalous properties. However, SCP-5545 can affect a person or object's "properties". The SCP describes this ability using similar terms to that of Object-Oriented Programming. SCP-5545 describes every living and inanimate thing as an "Object". It claims every object has properties and values which define a person or objects traits. SCP-5545 can change and manipulate these properties at will, and sometimes not. The subject has described the use of his ability as seeing a cascade of "file trees with context menus", not dissimilar to a computer file system.

SCP-5545 has described and demonstrated such changes several times during its time with the Foundation. Within moments of laying eyes on a person, it can make the subject: taller, shorter, or change the subjects' skin color. SCP-5545 can only affect objects it can visibly see. It has also shown a proclivity to change the properties of inanimate objects such as making doors unlocked or beds more comfortable. However; it can only change the properties that It has seen or experienced before. This is especially true for living beings. SCP-5545 cannot make a change to humans without experiencing a human with that trait. (See Addendum: Test Log 1, and 2). When it comes to inanimate objects, however; It appears to have more control to manipulate their properties. It demonstrated by making one of the chairs in its containment cell intangible while having never experienced something that could be phased through. (See Addendum: Test Log 3:)

The subject has the capability to affects the mental "values" of any sentient subject. It claims to be able to do this by changing the levels of a person's coherency and lucidity. This makes SCP-5545 a substantial cognitohazard to Foundation staff. Though SCP-5545 can change the cognitive traits of individuals; it appears to cause a significant amount of focus. It appears that SCP-5545 must concentrate to use its abilities effectively. SCP-5545 has trouble with such concentration due to a hesitation to use his abilities that came about during the events that caused it to appear on the Foundations radar, and trauma sustained during its capture. (See Interview 1)

Addendum: Recovery notes:
Foundation became privy to SCP-5545's when a local newspaper reported unusual happenings on two separate occasions. The first was unconfirmed reports of an overweight high school student completing the 100-meter dash faster than that schools track and field star. While this did pique the interest of nearby embedded foundation agents; it was not enough to warrant an investigation. Two days later, however; the Foundation intercepted radio chatter detailing an event in which an entire classroom was struck blind with one student missing. Police on the frequency named the missing student as 10th grader Leonard █████████. Immediately Dr.████████ mobilized alongside her task force: Mobile Task Force Psi-9 also known as "The Welcome Wagon". Psi-9 activated and geared up in low-profile loadouts armed with Foundation standard handguns, civilian clothes manufactured with a bulletproof carbon resistant weave, and a syringe filled with a strong sedative. Dr.████████ was convinced that she could bring it in this without alerting the remainder of the town.

Tracking Leonard using his phone's GPS locator led Psi-9 to a local diner where Dr.████████ and strike team member ████████ Vega, codename: "Freud" first encounter SCP-5545. Freud spotted the young man at the counter sitting next to a college-aged male in a leather jacket. Dr.████████ attempted to approach the anomaly but was grabbed by Freud and pulled into a nearby booth. When Dr.████████ attempted to object Freud pointed that the jacket the man next to SCP-5545 was wearing had two patches: the symbol of the GOC (Global Occult Coalition), and a blood-red Maltese Cross. The Blood Red Cross is a strike team on loan to the GOC from the reformed Holy Order of the Knights Templar which the Foundation has fought with on numerous occasions and it appeared that they had set their eyes on SCP-5545. The Blood Red Cross specifically is known for their hatred of the Foundation and tend to destroy anomalies on sight. SCP-5545 then demonstrated its ability to the man by appearing changing the contents of the glass in front of it; the man's demeanor appeared to change from curiosity to disappointment. The Templar then looked over his shoulder and instantly spotted and recognized the two as Foundation personnel and began trying to convince the anomaly that it was in danger and needed to come with him. The man stood up and attempted to lead SCP-5545 out of the back door.

Freud and Dr.████████ attempted to give chase when three more GOC Templars entered the diner from the front door. Before Dr.████████ could reach the door the GOC opened fire upon the two personnel, but before the soldiers could get a clear shot; Freud grabs Dr.████████ and leaps out of the window. Now in front of the diner, they land in the path of SCP-5545 and the young GOC agent where Freud and Dr.████████ are now blocking the way to the GOCs' Recovery vehicle. Freud Draws his pistol while the anomaly and soldier turn around and attempt to run in the other direction. Freud and Dr.████████ immediately give chase, and Freud manages to land a shot into the shoulder of the fleeing GOC agent. SCP-5545 then turns around and holds out his hand. It yells for Freud to stop chasing them, and suddenly a loud snapping sound is heard. Freud falls onto the ground appearing to have become paraplegic in an instant; SCP-5545 appears to be horrified by what just happened. Dr.████████ continues to chase SCP-5545; Freud dies in the process of fending off the other GOC agents.

The remaining Psi-9 operatives converge on Dr.████████ position on the outskirts of town when they catch up to SCP-5545. The younger GOC operative senses that he is backed into a corner and outnumbered. He grabs the SCP and takes him hostage holding a handgun to its head. The agent begins to claim that his mission is to "kill him if he can't take him in". Dr.████████ walks toward them and tells the agent that he won't kill SCP-5545. When the agent asks her why she says, "You already called it 'Him'". The agent hesitates and releases SCP-5545. SCP-5545 appears to turn its focus on one of the foundation agents' weapons; the firearm begins to glow red hot. The ammo inside the weapon begins to cook-off, plus the heat of the metal causes that agent to drop his weapon. Before SCP-5545 can focus his attention on another agent a member of Psi-9 injects SCP-5545 and takes it into custody.

As Psi-9 is about to take the GOC agent into custody the GOC agents from the diner arrive firing upon Foundation agents. The young Templar goes prone and Psi-9 takes off with minimal casualties. As Dr.████████ escapes with the SCP as the gunfire died down, she hears yelling from behind them, and she hears what she describes as loud thuds and shouting. Foundation personnel makes it to the containment vehicle and the mission is deemed a success. The Town and is subjected by the Foundation to an amnestic radio broadcast while SCP-5545s' parents are given class B amnestic and restructuring. While students were given a story about a freak lightning strike blinding SCP-5545s class.

**Test Log 1 **

Subject: SCP-5545
Procedure-1: SCP-5545 is roused by Dr.████████. D class D-24901, a man 2.01 meters tall is brought into the cell. SCP-5545 is asked to make the subject shorter.
Results: D-24901 begins to shrink. His proportions becoming more akin to that of someone who is less than 1.6 meters in height. This is accompanied by D-24901 crying out in pain and eventually collapsing from the pain of his bones fracturing and compacting to accommodate this change. SCP-5545 looks away covering its ears from the screams. D-24901 one is removed from the testing chamber and SCP-5545 is then sedated.
Analysis: It appears as though SCP-5545 can only make easy changes to traits that do not require anatomical restructuring. In that same line of thinking it appears that SCP-5545 cannot warp reality as it must adhere to the law of conservation of mass. This is evident in SCP-5545 not being able to take the bone away, but rather compact the bone.

Test Log 2

Subject: SCP-5545
Procedure: After SCP-5545 is awoken a monitor is wheeled in and SCP-5545 is subjected to the entirety of David Cronenberg's The Fly. Once the film concludes D-24902 is brought into the testing chamber. SCP-5545 is asked to turn the D-class subject into the creature from the end of the film.

Results: SCP-5545 attempts to refuse, saying it doesn't want to hurt anyone. Dr.████████ tells SCP-5545 to just see if some values or properties could cause that kind of transformation. SCP-5545 begins to concentrate; staring at D-5545 for approximately a full minute before giving an exasperated sigh. He then turns to Dr.████████ and says "I can't find that value". Testing is then concluded with the D-class being returned to his cell, and SCP-5545 is once again sedated.

Analysis: Dr.████████ believes that this test was not pointless. She claims that while SCP-5545 was unable to mimic the monster from the film. It appears that SCP-5545 needs to see a physical representation of a state before attempting to copy those traits. Dr.████████ submits a proposal for SCP-5545 to come into contact with other anomalous humanoid entities. So far, her proposals to the site overseer council have been summarily rejected.

Test Log 3

Subject: SCP-5545
Procedure: Two chairs are brought into SCP-5545's containment cell. It is asked to make one chair lighter and the other unusable.

Results: SCP-5545 focuses on the first chair, and a small pile of sawdust begins to form on the ground underneath the seat. Dr.████████ instructs one of the SCP-5545's guards to pick up the chair. The guard remarks that the chair has to be less than 3.4 kilograms. When the guard attempts to put the chair down the simple downward momentum causes the chair to become no more than splinters. When SCP-5545 focuses on the second chair, and nothing appears to happen. When the guard attempts to pick up the chair his hand phases through the chair. SCP-5545 seems surprised by this, and when asked about it, SCP-5545 said he was scrolling through random properties and found one called "probability". SCP-5545 was then asked to return the chair to its proper form to which SCP-5545 obliged, all testing materials were removed from the chamber, and SCP-5545 was returned to a comatose state.

Analysis: Dr.███████ believes that both results demonstrate that SCP-5545 must adhere to the conservation of matter. In both instances, SCP-5545 was unable to change the mass of an object. When this idea was challenged by another researcher; Dr.████████ claimed that the matter was not gone, but that SCP-5545 showed a live instance of quantum tunneling.

Interview Log 1

Interviewed: SCP-5545

Interviewer: Dr.████████

Foreword: Dr.████████ Interviews SCP-5545 to help it process some of its trauma.
<Begin Log>

Dr.████████: Can you tell me about the two incidents at the school?

SCP-5545: two?

Dr.████████: There were more?

SCP-5545: Not big things, no, but every now and again I'd ring a bell a minute early, or sharpen a pencil. I never wanted to be discovered.

Dr.████████: Then why the track incident?

SCP-5545: Aaron told my best friend his ponytail made him look like a girl. My buddy was inconsolable for weeks, guy doesn't have any self esteem to begin with. It was just a value tweak; I didn't plan for the school newspaper to take it to the local news and so on.

Dr.████████: And the classroom inciden-

SCP-5545: I DON'T… want to talk about that…

Dr.████████: Why?

SCP-5545: Because it's my favorite memory- WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK?

Dr.████████: I know it's difficult, but you need to talk about the experiences in order to get through it.

SCP-5545: *At a whisper* I had a boner…

Dr.████████: What?

SCP-5545: You heard me, I had a boner! ████████████████ pointed it out to the whole class when I went to answer a question on the board. My heart started racing, everyone was laughing, and I just yelled for them… not to look at me…

Dr.████████: You caused a mass change without concentration?

SCP-5545: Yes, the same thing happened when you and that agent came out of the diner. It was like a reflex. The file opened directly to a property called activeLeg value equals 2.

Dr.████████: And?

SCP-5545:I changed it to zero.
