Description: SCP-XXXX is a plot of garden dirt measuring 6 x 6 x 2-meters. Gives the appearance and composition of dirt derived from Western, North America. When the soil was tested, matches confirmed a Loam is soil composition. This makes SCP-XXXX mostly of sand, silt, and a smaller amount of clay. By weight, SCO-XXXX mineral composition is about 55–15–30% concentration of sand-silt-clay, respectively.

Any subject that enters the room, which has never entered the room before, will be designated SCP-XXXX-1 until their "Forgiveness Act" is over.

SCP-XXXX retains three distinct anomalous properties.

1. No seed or plant will take root in the soil. Regardless of care or type of plant seeded in the soil.

2. No soil can be removed from the plot, why soil can be picked up it cannot be removed from the plot. Bringing the soil near the edge of the plot will bring the holder great amounts of despair and loneliness. This effect usually goes away within thirty minutes of dropping the soil. If the soil is continued to the edge; the soil, even trace amounts, will not pass the edge. This edge extends to a 6 x 6 x 9-meter cube.

3. The true anomalous effect. Any person or Humanoid SCP that enters SCP-XXXX's containment will be designated SCP-XXXX-1. The following Entity that crawls out of the soil will be designated SCP-XXXX-2.

The SCP-XXXX-2 will exist as long as unresolved conflicts with SCP-XXXX-1 exist.

SCP-XXXX-2 can be killed by normal means however whoever caused the death of SCP-XXXX-2 will feel intense feelings of "loneliness" and "despair" lasting up to 24-72 hours.1

Subjects report feelings of "ease" and "unexplainable calmness" once conflicts have been resolved.

SCP-XXXX-2 will turn to ash once the conflicts have been resolved.

Discovery: A man called the police after he killed his drug partner due to a belief his partner was sabotaging the growing operation. He hid the body in SCP-XXXX and 4 days later his partner came out of the plot of dirt and tried to ask him why he killed him. The man freaked out and attempted to shoot him again. When that failed he simply tried calling the police. Agents embedded in the area took action and notified MTF to pick up the man. When MTF agents arrived they detained the man, the partner and called in excavation gear to remove the plot of dirt and to bring it to Site-17.
