Lieutenant Wub

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in an airtight storage box at all times, except for testing purposes. To use SCP-XXXX for testing, the box must be brought into the testing chamber before the box can be opened.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a standard pillow, 51 x 66 cm in size. The pillow is covered with a red pillowcase which seems to have no opening. Apart from this, the pillowcase shows no anomalous properties. There is a lack of any tag on the casing or on the pillow inside.

SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects manifest when a human enters a REM sleep state while sleeping on SCP-XXXX.¹ After doing so, the human, hereby referred to as 'subject', will become 'marked'. There seems to be no limit as to how many subjects can be marked at once. Once a subject is marked, they will progress through stages SCP-XXXX-1 to SCP-XXXX-8, only moving up a stage once the subject enters a REM sleep state in the same room as SCP-XXXX.²

Stage	Description
SCP-XXXX-1	The next time the subject enters a room containing a bed, the previous pillows on the bed will be replaced by SCP-XXXX3
SCP-XXXX-2	As stated above, however with the addition of another variant of SCP-XXXX with an orange pillowcase
SCP-XXXX-3	As stated above, however with the addition of another variant of SCP-XXXX with a yellow pillowcase
SCP-XXXX-4	As stated above, however with the addition of another variant of SCP-XXXX with a green pillowcase
SCP-XXXX-5	As stated above, however with the addition of another variant of SCP-XXXX with a blue pillowcase
SCP-XXXX-6	As stated above, however with the addition of another variant of SCP-XXXX with a purple pillowcase
SCP-XXXX-7	As stated above, however with the addition of another variant of SCP-XXXX with a pink pillowcase
SCP-XXXX-8	As stated above, however with the addition of another variant of SCP-XXXX with a black pillowcase

Once a subject enters a REM sleep state at stage SCP-XXXX-8, they will immediately expire with no feasible form of resuscitation. Post-mortem autopsies indicate a death via asphyxiation, with signs of a struggle, despite the lack of movement observed before death.

Footnotes

1. The person must have their head laid on the pillow when the REM sleep state is achieved to trigger the effects.

2. At this point, the subject's head does not need to be in contact with any form of SCP-XXXX to trigger the effect.

3. Regardless of how many pillows were on the bed previously, all pillows will cease to exist and instead be replaced by SCP-XXXX. GPS tracking has so far proven inconclusive.
