Item #: SCP-4372

Object Class: Euclid Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Containment for SCP-4372 is located at site [REDACTED] and contains two phases of security. The first phase of SCP-4372 containment is a 1mx1mx1m hermetically sealed steel chamber that is under 24 hour video surveillance and located no less than 50 meters below ground. Inside the chamber, there must be a constant stream of electricity that must not drop below 1.2 megawatts of power. The walls of its initial containment must be capable of producing no less than .2 Amperes of current to the entity. Voltage is not as critical but is to remain at at least 10,000 volts. In the event of a power failure, the entire site must go on lockdown.

Phase 2 is a half kilometer long tunnel with 6 tesla gates located exactly 83 ⅓ meters apart. The entire tunnel is to be filled with chlorine gas and the inside of the door at the end of the tunnel is to be coated with a lead-steel alloy. In the event of a containment breach, the entire site must be put on lockdown as well as all personnel to enter the on site evacuation bunkers as quickly as possible. Should any instances of SCP-4372-1 form, MTF Kappa-81 (The Referees) is to be dispatched, armed with lead lined steel armor and military-grade flamethrowers with 5 gallon tanks of Napalm.

Every Kappa-81 member must wear a leather glove on their right hands. If Kappa-81 is unable to re-contain SCP-4372 and SCP-4372-1 instances, then the on site warhead must be activated due to the high risk of escape from the containment site. No testing is authorized without prior approval from a foundation member with level 5 access due to the immensely aggressive nature of SCP-4372.

Description: SCP-4372 is an away team Buffalo Bills jersey from 1972. SCP-4372 appears to be sentient but not sapient. Communication with the object resulted in failure and attempts to communicate were ceased after the events of [REDACTED]/[REDACTED]/1981.

SCP-4372 is an agile entity, able to travel at speeds in excess of 120km/hr. SCP-4372’s method of locomotion is currently unknown. Whenever not incapacitated, the object makes every attempt to break containment. The object has been observed attempting to complete 2 specific tasks, reproducing, and attempting to [REDACTED] resulting in an instance of SCP-4372-2. SCP-4372 will make every possible attempt to force its way onto the closest person it can find.

SCP-4372 reproduces when it acquires the nutrients sufficient to create an identical copy. SCP-4372 gains nutrients by consuming specifically human DNA. After SCP-4372 consumes (on average) 5 people(in any amount of time), a second instance of SCP-4372 will appear after what appears to be a form of macro-mitosis. Any offspring are to be referred to as SCP-4372-a. Clones are just as violent as the original entity and provide the same effects, however, are not resistant to damage in the same way. SCP-4372 has proven impossible to destroy thus far. SCP-4372 has an aversion to heat, lead, electricity, and shows less activity within 15 meters of anyone wearing a leather glove on their right hand for reasons not quite known. Composition samples collected from SCP-4372 were proven impossible due to its resistance to damage.

SCP-4372 and SCP-4372-a both are to be treated as the same entity as they have the same weaknesses but have different reactions to the stimuli. Where the original object becomes incapacitated after sustaining too much electricity or heat, the clones disintegrate into a fine powder. Samples of the powder provide no clue to the composition and have returned inconsistent results. In addition to the stimuli that can destroy SCP-4372-a, the clones also behave identically around lead and leather gloves.

Any entity that spawns from SCP-4372 or an instance of SCP-4372-a act in unison, as if following a collective mind. Further research is currently awaiting approval.

Once SCP-4372 has attached itself to a person, it immediately begins consuming their DNA, once the DNA is completely consumed the jersey removes itself from the current victim and seeks out its next victim. The object’s method of consumption is still poorly understood due to the lack of research but is believed to be a similar form of consumption to that of Asterias amurensis. The object’s method of tracking its victims is unknown as SCP-4372 contains no sensory organs but has been recorded seeking targets from inside its containment. The time SCP-4372 takes to feed varies from 1 minute to as short as 5 seconds. Throughout the consumption process, the victim goes under an extremely rapid mutation into a copy of the player who used to wear the jersey. These instances are no longer human and designated SCP-4372-1.

Instances of SCP-4372-1 have returned inconclusive results on DNA tests thusfar.

Instances of SCP-4372-1 immediately become active upon removal of the jersey from the victim. These entities seem to act as drones for SCP-4372. SCP-4372-1 instances are resilient to damage due to their nearly impenetrable hide, but enough heat or rounds from kinetic based weapons will eventually put an instance down. Upon termination, SCP-4372-1 disintegrates into a fine powder that provides the similar inconsistencies to the powder from destroyed SCP-4372-a.

SCP-4372-2: [REDACTED]
Doctor's Note: No manifestation of SCP-4372-2 has been completed and measures will be put in place to ensure no manifestation is able to become complete.

Incident Log: [REDACTED]/[REDACTED]/1981

Agents lost: [DATA EXPUNGED]
Time elapsed before recontainment: [REDACTED]

Experiment regarding SCP-4372 reaction to D-9595 passing by its containment is conducted

SCP-4372 was observed to react to D-9595 while being escorted by its containment for a different test. Test regarding other object was immediately terminated and experiments involving SCP-4372 were assigned from Dr. Nikolaus.

D-9595 is a male of average build. D-9595 was convicted of first degree murder of his wife and had a history of antisocial behavior before coming into foundation custody.

D-9595 is guided from left to right on the outside of SCP-4372's containment to ensure the reaction wasn't unrelated. Reaction from the jersey confirms activity and seems to be limited on its movement, capable of only swaying about decimeter toward D-9595. D-9595 and 4 armed guards enter SCP-4372's containment in order to attempt communication.

Note: Jersey seems more attracted to D-9595 the closer he gets to the entity

D-9595 is instructed to interact with SCP-4372 physically in order to view reaction. D-9595 shows increasing levels of anxiety and refuses to make contact with the entity. The D-Class is reminded that noncompliance will result in termination. D-9595 complies though begrudgingly and begins to approach SCP-4372. When less than a meter away the entity falls off its hanger and lies on the ground, seemingly vibrating and slowly moving toward the D-Class. D-9595 is instructed to lift the entity and place it back onto the hangar.

Upon contact the entity suddenly jerks completely active and through unknown means forces itself onto D-9595. Agent [REDACTED] instructed to not terminate at this particular moment. D-9595 begins screaming as he physiologically begins to mutate. After [REDACTED] seconds elapse D-9595 appears to have transformed into [REDACTED] in his prime. D-9595 is now to be referred to as subject or SCP-4372-1. The entity then proceeds to remove itself from the subject and immediately attempts to force itself onto Agent [REDACTED]. The remaining agents are instructed to terminate Agent [REDACTED] but they have already engaged the instance of SCP-4372-1. The subject is viewed striking one of the agents in the head with his fist, knocking him unconscious after one blow, then puts the remaining two agents into a choke-hold with each arm.

As SCP-4372-1 restrains and incapacitates the remaining agents, Agent [REDACTED] is heard screaming and then undergoing the same process as the previous subject. Agent [REDACTED] is to be referred to as SCP-4372-1 as well.

Note: The rate that SCP-4372 is able to consume seems to accelerate with the more it feeds, transformation of the final agent only took 5 seconds to complete.

Once everyone has been mutated into [REDACTED] clones, they begin pounding on the containment door in unison. SCP-4372 is viewed splitting into two separate entities and both proceed to help break containment.

After approximately 5 minutes the containment door gives way to the force produced by the 2 instances of SCP-4372 and 5 instances of SCP-4372-1. All agents on site are ordered to engage with extreme prejudice.

The entities proceeded to incapacitate and transform several dozen personnel on site. (The Referees) MTF-Kappa 81 were dispatched to pick off any entities to strayed from the main group.

All remaining instances of SCP-4372-1 are terminated successfully, only one entity was confirmed to remain, SCP-4372 confirmed to be incapacitated.

[End of Incident Report]

Following incident, updated containment procedures based on the note left with the entity were constructed and put into place as a top priority. Due to the destructibility of every entity save for the original, any entities that split off from SCP-4372 are deemed SCP-4372-a.
