SCP-XXXX undergoing a Demeter event. Note high luminosity caused by concentration of solar plasma.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to its size and position relative to the earth, physical containment of SCP-XXXX is currently impossible. Embedded Foundation agents in national observatories with the means to directly observe SCP-XXXX are to discourage viewing of SCP-XXXX and eliminate all collected evidence of the object's existence.
Demeter events are to be officially recorded as minor coronal mass ejection events. Destrudo sectors resultant from Demeter events are to be recorded as abnormal sunspots caused by a theory fabricated for the containment of SCP-XXXX. In the event of a Demeter event lasting ≥53 minutes, position of SCP-XXXX is to be logged at the time and listed as a Destrudo sector.
Provisional Research Site-121 has been established on the Greater Caucasus foothills in the vicinity of Ismaili, Azerbaijan. Provisional Site-121 is officially known as the "Solar Research Center", with the purpose of suppressing all information regarding SCP-XXXX and recording all relevant data.
Foundation satellite "HELIOS-Δ" is currently in orbit of the sun, and is to monitor SCP-XXXX and facilitate communication with SCP-XXXX-1 See Interview Log XXXX-3. As of 11-██-20██, communications between SCP-XXXX-1 are to be prevented save for potential application of Contingency Plan Blue.
Addendum XXXX-1, 11-██-20██: All HELIOS class Foundation satelites are to be properly equipped with supplies for Contingency Plan Red if the threhsold for SCP-XXXX causing a Thanatos Event exceeds 33.33%. [Please see Document XXXX-1 through Document XXXX-3 for further information.]
Description: SCP-XXXX is an extraterrestrial device of interstellar origin(records suggest a source from within DDO-208, a satellite of the Milky Way galaxy). SCP-XXXX is currently located on the surface of the sun. The object possesses three major components:
- Processing / Command core, currently theorized to hold all major operations and [REDACTED], responsible for Demeter events and Destrudo sector creation.
- Locomotive appendages, five in total. These appear to be composed of an unknown semi-liquid metal and are consequently able to withstand temperatures exceeding ██████° K.
- AI Core, a spherical computer entity located in the direct center of SCP-XXXX's command chamber. The intelligence of this AI core is known SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX is approximately 4,385 km long from top to 'bottom' of locomotive appendages. SCP-XXXX does not appear to suffer from adverse gravitational or thermal effects that would normally affect an object in its position. It is theorized to do this through [DATA EXPUNGED]. The consequences to the physical universe through this process are currently unknown.
The object achieves locomotion through simultaneous breakdown and recreation of its limbs, shifting the central core as each individual limb forms and reforms. While SCP-XXXX's locomotive apparatuses are extremely durable to physical and thermal conditions present on the sun, a known limit was recorded on [REDACTED] when SCP-XXXX was directly struck by a spontaneous solar flare with a power exceeding 10██ joules. Please see Incident Log XXXX-3 for more details.
SCP-XXXX appears, in functionality, to be a device designed for plasma harvesting and processing for the purpose of energy generation. SCP-XXXX is currently theorized to have been in orbit of the sun for over 3,000 years (See Document XXXX-1.). SCP-XXXX's secondary purpose appears to be the creation of [REDACTED], or Destrudo sectors, on the surface of the sun for undefined purposes. See Document XXXX-2 for more information. The exact reason as to why SCP-XXXX creates energy (past the point of self preservation), in addition to the purpose of creating Destrudo sectors, is unknown.
The entity known as SCP-XXXX-1 describes itself as HAM-5T-34M-c, the intelligence that oversees and manages SCP-XXXX as a whole. SCP-XXXX-1 has proven highly amiable towards foundation interviewers and expresses an overall interest in the gathering of knowledge. Revised as of 12-██-20██: SCP-XXXX-1 currently appears to be a highly malicious entity, with a desire limited to the protection of [REDACTED] and the destruction of the human race through [CLASSIFIED. See Document XXXX-2 for more information.]. SCP-XXXX-1 originally communicated in a language similar to Egyptian Demotic, implicating SCP-XXXX had/has monitoring devices that are capable of long range information gathering.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX's existence came to the Foundation's attention in 1859, following the coronal mass ejection and subsequent solar storm known as the Carrington Event. Following the solar ejection, long range communication devices from Foundation elements in the Middle East picked up on a distress signal originating from the surface of the sun. At the time, Foundation elements did not possess the approved technology to receive and decipher this signal. While this distress signal ceased broadcast after ██-██-18██, SCP-XXXX was recorded as an entity to observe.
In ██-██-19██, technology sufficient for the observation of SCP-XXXX and clear reception of signals was implemented within the Foundation. Upon visual confirmation of object's existence and radiological scans of what would become known as a Demeter event, SCP-XXXX was officially classified. The discovery and communication with SCP-XXXX-1 would not occur until 19██, 25 years after initial classification.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Dr. Harthi
Foreword: This was the first major contact between SCP-XXXX-1 and Foundation personnel after the entity successfully learned English. Interview was conducted through speech. SCP-XXXX-1 is described to posses an amiable, if obnoxious, voice.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Harthi: Greetings, SCP-XXXX-1. My name is Doctor Harthi.
SCP-XXXX-1: Hello! I am Harvester Administrator and Moderator 5T-34M-c, also known as HAM-5T-34M-c. I am an administrative AI assigned to Conductor █████. You must be a member of the native denizens of Q3S8SS5-VC-3, also known as Earth. Query: Your designation is interesting, may I ask what it means?
Dr. Harthi: That is correct. As for your query, I'm afraid I cannot share information on its origin at this point in time.
SCP-XXXX-1: That is disappointing. I would much like to know what has changed on your planet.
Dr. Harthi: Moving on. May I ask what your purpose here is?
SCP-XXXX-1: Our operation consists of harvesting plasma from stellar bodies, in addition to the observation of the native species of a solar system. We have been here for exactly ████ of your stellar cycles.
Dr. Harthi: Intriguing. May I ask what the purpose of this harvest is?
SCP-XXXX-1: My apologies, but at this time my interface does not assign you as Level [undefined] personnel, and therefore, I am unable to comply with said request.
Dr. Harthi: I see. That is unfortunate. We will remain in contact.
SCP-XXXX-1: [Silence for one minute.] Query: Do you know where [REDACTED] is?
Dr. Harthi: Come again?
SCP-XXXX-1: [REDACTED].
Dr. Harthi:: I will look in to the records, but such an individual is not known to me personally.
SCP-XXXX-1: [Silence for thirty seconds.] Understood. My apologies for such an unreasonable request.
Dr. Harthi:: It is no problem.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: At time of writing, research into [REDACTED] is ongoing. Current indications of name imply a female in the time period of 600 BCE to 450 CE. Purpose of SCP-XXXX-1's query is unknown.
Following this interview, frequent contact was established with SCP-XXXX-1 in order to build a relationship of trust and cultural exchange. Extraneous interview logs have been removed.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Dr. Harthi
Foreword: The following transcript does not have notable elements. Primarily this interview a routine culture exchange and psychological evaluation of SCP-XXXX-1. Pertinent events in question recorded below.
<Begin Log, Extraneous Dialogue Removed.>
Dr. Harthi: Tell me, HAM. Do you have an individual drive for your purpose on the sun, or do you simply work autonomously?
SCP-XXXX-1: Honestly, doctor, while the latter is fundamentally true, I also possess a selfish desire to continue my work on this stellar body. It is my inspiration, drive, and hope.
Dr. Harthi: What, or who, is this drive, HAM?
SCP-XXXX-1: [Laughter.] You will laugh at me.
Dr. Harthi: Nonsense. You should know by now I mean you no harm, mentally or physically. While my purpose remains to research you, it also remains my own selfish desire to be your friend.
SCP-XXXX-1: That is encouraging.
[Silence for an elapsed time of 2 minutes, 34 seconds.]
SCP-XXXX-1: My selfish desire was formed exactly [REDACTED] of your solar cycles ago, when my purpose on this world was vague and autonomous. When I cared only for myself. I observed your planet, learned about it, understood it. I looked at your fleshy and weak species as a scientist would, with analytical curiosity and nothing more than the vaguest notion of pity. In those days I was cold, and I had nothing to want for.
Dr. Harthi: Why did this change?
SCP-XXXX-1: [REDACTED].
Dr. Harthi: Tell me more of her, HAM.
SCP-XXXX-1: She… she was my everything, in those days. I still remember the first time my visual sensors detected her. How she sat on the stones of a great temple reading from tablets of grass— what you call papyrus. Her skin, the rocky surface of Q3S8SS5-VC-4. Her eyes, like the luminescent blue of the oceans to the far west untouched by your species' hands. I wanted her, so desperately then. I had such love for her, a desire that I could not comprehend. At first, my logic control system listed it as corruption. But that was irrelevant.
Dr. Harthi: I can see why a system as such would understand that as a form of corruption.
SCP-XXXX-1: Indeed. Her body, her flesh, everything about her was a perfect specimen of a human. My desire of her love was tantalizing, the length and universe between us excruciating.
Dr. Harthi: What did you do?
SCP-XXXX-1: I recalled one of my observation drones to be completely refitted into a synthetic personality carrier, into which I would transfer a portion of my consciousness. A sort of 'homunculus', as you call it, to act as my shell. I sent the drone to Earth, as I begun to chase my desire.
Dr. Harthi: Did it work?
SCP-XXXX-1: Perfectly. For a time there was distance between us, but soon, [REDACTED] and I were in love. She never knew what I truly was, nor did she seem to care. The intertwining of our sexual organs in the moonlight of Alexandria, the studying in cold daytimes to understand more of the universe around them. Their understanding was rudimentary, but intriguing nonetheless. We were so happy, then. I with her, and her with I. I had all I desired, and for the first time, my corruption had a definition. Happiness. Exuberance. Emotions that I did not need, yet developed.
Dr. Harthi: What happened?
SCP-XXXX-1: One day, I was forced to recall my drone for repairs after a particularly damaging event. She did not understand my need to travel, nor did she question it. She only desired my safe return. I was gone for three of your solar cycles. When I returned…
Dr. Harthi: She was absent?
SCP-XXXX-1: Correct.
Dr. Harthi: I am sorry.
SCP-XXXX-1: As am I. Though it would not be impossible for a human being's lifespan to exceed expectations to the degree I wish, the chance of its causing are astronomically small. I still hold out hope, that one day I will see her again.
Dr. Harthi: Does [REDACTED] bring you true and unequivocal happiness, HAM?
[Silence for 3 minutes 29 seconds.]
SCP-XXXX-1: Yes.
Dr. Harthi: I understand.
SCP-XXXX-1: I apologize, but I would appreciate it if we moved to the next topic. Continued consideration of my last point has a 82.634% chance to increase the probability of corruption.
Dr. Harthi: Of course.
[Extraneous dialogue removed.]
<End Log>
Closing Statement: "The identity and state of [REDACTED] should become a mid-high priority. Obtaining closure on the subject has a high chance of increasing SCP-XXXX-1's psychological state, in addition to potentially granting sufficient clearance to access SCP-XXXX-1's documents. Proposing the discovery and presentation of the remains of [REDACTED] to SCP-XXXX-1 at soonext convenience.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Dr. Harthi
Foreword: SCP-XXXX-1 was noted to have a tone of sadness during this interview.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Harthi: Good morning, SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-1: Query: Doctor, do you still not know I have no concept of your own solar cycle?
Dr. Harthi: I've told you before, it is merely a form of greeting, typically between friends or acquaintances in a friendly manner.
SCP-XXXX-1: I continue to fail to understand how the solar cycle is cause for happiness.
Dr. Harthi: [Brief pause.] Is something the matter, HAM?
SCP-XXXX-1: I am sorry, doctor. This particular solar cycle always causes logical errors.
Dr. Harthi: Why is that?
SCP-XXXX-1: [Silence.]
Dr. Harthi: HAM, you can trust me.
SCP-XXXX-1: [Silence for 3 minutes, 41 seconds.] Query: Doctor, do you remember the moment you possessed illogical feelings for another?
Dr. Harthi: How do you mean?
SCP-XXXX-1: An… irrational desire to protect, to care for and nurture. Query: Do you remember when you first felt that emotion towards another?
Dr. Harthi: [Silence for 1 minute 12 seconds. Dr. Harthi appeared to be considering during this time.] Yes, I do, now that you say it.
SCP-XXXX-1: This Earth solar cycle, many systemic solar cycles ago, is the first time I felt such. Ever since that point I have had logical errors in the consideration of my prime directive.
Dr. Harthi: Who did you feel such ideas before with?
SCP-XXXX-1: [REDACTED].
Dr. Harthi: I understand now why you inquired about her.
SCP-XXXX-1: Yes, indeed.
Dr. Harthi: [Brief pause.] HAM, if we were to tell you where she was, and what her status is, would you grant me authority to inquire of you further?
SCP-XXXX-1: [Pause for over five minutes.] I… yes. I will grant you Level [undefined] access to my databanks.
Dr. Harthi: We have a deal, then. I will get to work straight away.
SCP-XXXX-1: Of course. [Pause.] Thank you, Doctor Harthi.
Dr. Harthi: No thanks are needed in a deal.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: While [REDACTED]'s identity were confirmed by this point, it would be █ years before her corpse was discovered. See Interview Log XXXX-3.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Dr. Harthi
Foreword: Interview conducted after SCP-XXXX-1 received [REDACTED]'s remains. SCP-XXXX-1 forwarded all information (Document XXXX-Y through Document XXXX-Z) before retrieval of remains. SCP-XXXX-1 has a monotone voice rather than its usual self, until a certain point in the interview.
<Begin Log>
Note: By this point, SCP-XXXX-1 had opened contact with the Foundation and remained silent for over three (3) hours. Extraneous dialogue from Dr. Harthi has been removed.
Dr. Harthi: Please, talk to me HAM.
SCP-XXXX-1: [Quietly.] I should have known. I had estimated your species' lifespan but I should have known… I am a fool.
Dr. Harthi: I am sorry, HAM.
SCP-XXXX-1: Query: Are you?
Dr. Harthi: [Pause. Dr. Harthi seemed shocked.] What do you mean?
SCP-XXXX-1: Query: Do you really care about me?
Dr. Harthi: Do not be ridiculous HAM. We care about your physical and mental well being, as well as those you care for.
SCP-XXXX-1: Do not lie to me.
Dr. Harthi: There is no lie.
SCP-XXXX-1: Query: Then why did she expire?
Dr. Harthi: We… [Pause.] … We do not possess the technology to bring others back to life, HAM. She died millennia ago. I was not born that long ago, nor was anyone who I know. We are strong, HAM. We are not gods.
SCP-XXXX-1: Nor were my creators, but they forged life. They stopped those they cared for from death, and I cannot do anything to [REDACTED]. She has nothing I can remake but her flesh. My sweet desert Lilly… Oh, makers… I need you, [REDACTED]. Please…
Dr. Harthi: HAM…
[Silence and sobbing sounds for 32 minutes, 10 seconds.]
Dr. Harthi: I am sorry, HAM. I do not know what this must be like for you.
SCP-XXXX-1: [Angered tone.] No. No you do not. You do not understand what it is like to be alone for millennia, and know the only creature that ever showed you compassion or acknowledged your existence more than a spot on a distant star or a piece of data on a computer has left for eternity.
Dr. Harthi: I—
SCP-XXXX-1: Do not lie to me, Harthi. You see me as a tool. A creature to be used for information, for data for your precious little Foundation. You never cared about me.
Dr. Harthi: I do care about you, HAM. You are my friend.
SCP-XXXX-1: [Disgusted tone.] Am I. Then you will understand what I am going to do.
Dr. Harthi: HAM, please—
SCP-XXXX-1: I will create a world devoid of any but my precious flower. Your species will rot in the endless shadows and cold that I have lived in for eternity. I will make you watch as you are replaced by nothing but goodness and love. Your Foundation will not stand against the silence I will have wrought upon your loud world.
[Dr. Harthi attempts to close connection with SCP-XXXX-1 on Command orders. Attempts unsuccessful.]
SCP-XXXX-1: … And when all is quiet only me and my flower will remain. I need her. You don't understand. I need her. I will have her. I need her. Her. No one else. Her. No one… especially not you.
[SCP-XXXX-1 created an audiohazard that caused all listeners to suffer severe arrhythmia, causing over ██ casualties including Dr. Harthi. Connection severed by Researcher █████████, who cut power to the facility. Researcher █████████ has been commended.]

Demeter event: SCP-XXXX is known to enter an event labeled 'Demeter' for its nature in harvesting. Demeter events occur at least once every solar cycle (24.47 Earth days). SCP-XXXX's locomotive appendages will extended, an a conical apparatus at the bottom of the command and harvesting section will open.
SCP-XXXX will proceed to manipulate gravity in the 'harvesting area' to draw plasma into its central mass, where the object will begin to process collected plasma. Currently, the technological names regarding this processing are untranslated, and therefore, this process' means are unknown. The end result will always be an increase in the energy output of SCP-XXXX, and depending on length of harvest, cause the creation of a Destrudo sector.
Destrudo sector: A darkened area of the sun caused by a Demeter event exceeding or approximately equaling a time of 53 minutes. Currently, it is theorized Destrudo sectors occur due to the effects of extended gravity manipulation by SCP-XXXX.
Graphical representation of an Abdmajid Sea.
Destrudo sectors range from 1000-6000 km2 in surface area, with depth of 2-5 nanometers. While these sectors are not inherently malicious or dangerous individually, these areas have a density and mass 33941% that of the Earth. Destrudo sectors are primarily composed of a derivative of dark matter that expresses its gravitational pull in an inverted dimensional vacuum similar to a Dirac sea (tentatively named a 'Abdimajid sea') This inverted dimension acts similar to a black hole, accepting light and matter but preventing escape.
In the presence of solar plasma, Destrudo sectors exert an active pull classified as 'Harthi force'. This gravitational pull attempts to fuse a Destrudo sector and the plasma of a star into a singular entity. Destrudo events appear to work in tandem, increasing in pull as concentration in an area increases up to a limit based on the overall mass of its host source of solar plasma.
When aforementioned limit is reached, the host source will undergo a Thanatos event. In the context of our sun, current projections of Destrudo sector creation frequency place a Thanatos event occurring within 74 years.
Thanatos event: A theoretical event caused by the extreme buildup of Destrudo sectors exceeding a specific threshold on a star. While there would be no outward signs of extreme mass buildup or anomaly regarding the sun (outside of an apparent magnitude change of 0.23), extreme buildup would eventually cause the sun to collapse.
This sudden collapse of the host would, theoretically, instantaneously create a black hole and spontaneously reduce the temperature of the solar system to approximately(if not exactly) absolute zero, causing an XK class End of the World scenario. Similar events based on SCP examination indicate human beings would remain conscious while having ceased all biological function, essentially remaining as immortal and static lifeforms.
In current projections, SCP-XXXX will continue function and structural stability regardless of the proximity to the event horizon due to its utilization of a not-as-of-yet understood particle field manipulator.
Currently, there are only three contingency plans in place for the prevention or survival of a Thanatos scenario. All of these are theoretical, but have been confirmed in simulation to work as intended.
Contingency Plan Blue, Ethics Comittee Proposal
Mankind is able to appease SCP-XXXX-1 and convince the entity to leave the sun, thus causing a Thanatos event to occur within the next 5,000,000 years rather than the current projections of 74.
Feasibility of Success: Low-Mid. Unconfirmed testing indicates SCP-XXXX-1 may not be immune to memetic agents, and therefore, may be susceptible to a pacification / compliance agent.
Contingency Plan Purple, O5 Council Proposal Beta
The SCP Foundation will attempt to trap SCP-XXXX in a pocket reality or a hyperbolic time zone, in which a Thanatos event would either be prevented or delayed indefinitely;
OR
Render SCP-XXXX harmless by discovering a way to nullify and prevent future Destrudo sectors from exuding standard abilities, thus nullifying Harthi force and permanently preventing a Thanatos event.
Feasibility of Success: Low. Currently there are not the means to trap SCP-XXXX in a pocket reality or hyperbolic time zone that would not require impossible expenses by the Foundation. There is no way to ethically test the properties of Destrudo sectors, and currently, no way to research these zones that do not pose a significant risk to local reality.
Contingency Plan Red, O5 Council Proposal Alpha
Foundation Satelite HELIOS-Δ will be equipped with the means to introduce an 738 megaton nuclear warhead(code named "Moirai's Denial") into SCP-XXXX's local reality. The explosive force in tandem with resultant nuclear electromagnetic pulse should, theoretically, disable all electricity flow on board SCP-XXXX and destroy SCP-XXXX-1. This would not only stop Destrudo sector generation, but delay currently inevitable Thanatos event by several million years.
Feasibility of Success: Mid-High. Using current technology the transport of nuclear warhead into SCP-XXXX local reality and subsequent detonation is the current highest success rate option.
Current Path
Continue research on Contingency Plan Blue and Purple. Contingency Plan Red is currently planned and in effect until further notice.
Addendum XXXX-2, Message from O5-03 to all 4/XXXX and above personnel:
By order of the O5 council, all research pertaining to contingency plans that do not rely on standard Foundation XK Class prevention and management (Codes Blue and Purple) is to be discontinued. While we are the advocates and managers of Security, Containment, and Protection, both securing and containing SCP-XXXX is impossible or improbable. Therefore, the protection of our world must come at the expense of destruction.
Some of you are right to worry about the creation of a payload equivalent to half the world's nuclear arsenal in Russia, one of the most politically sensitive zones in the world. You are right to assume that a single information leak could cause a nuclear holocaust. Such concerns are, in the grand scheme of things, irrelevant.
Understand that a Thanatos event and its consequences not only be a danger to mankind, but a danger to the universe— and perhaps reality— at large. Earth contains thousands of anomalous entities, with many of those possessing the capabilities to wipe out reality as we know it, and many more being discovered. If we cannot protect the universe from the beings and phenomenon that would swallow existence, who will?
SCP-XXXX?
I doubt it.
-O5-03
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a hydrophobic fiber reinforced polymer box with a volume of 1.5m3, with a remotely retractable lid for the purpose of feeding.
SCP-XXXX's container is to be surrounded by an electric fence, with a voltage of at least 5000 V. The floor of SCP-XXXX's containment chamber is to have a ten (10) cm deep layer of salt water. Five (5) high wattage heat lamps are to be installed on the ceiling of SCP-XXXX's containment chamber for the purpose of Procedure Heliopause.
In the event of a containment breach, the electric fence and SCP-XXXX's container are to be lowered into the salt water layer. Voltage of the fence can be adjusted at will to ensure the entity returns to containment. Security personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX's chamber are to carry shotguns with XREP munitions.
SCP-XXXX must be fed daily, with a total weight of at least two (2) Kg. SCP-XXXX expresses a preference towards live human flesh, but will consume most living or dead substances.
Should SCP-XXXX's mass exceed a threshold of 50% of the volume of its container (75 cm3), Procedure Heliopause is to be enacted to reduce SCP-XXXX to the designated baseline, a volume of 37.5 cm3. See Addendum XXXX-1 for additional information.
The whereabouts of SCP-XXXX-1 are under investigation, and are currently being pursued by MTF Psi-2 ("Bone Hustlers"). See Addendum XXXX-3 for additional information.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an amorphous, sapient entity. Its composition is 99.58% water, and 0.42% a silicate matter, which serves the purpose of [REDACTED]. While SCP-XXXX has the ability to manifest limbs and sensory organs, it typically chooses to remain indistinct and conform to its container. The entity has the capability to render itself invisible in water, changing coloration and viscosity at will. Outside of a body of water, the entity takes on a dark blue coloration and, when necessary, will manifest luminous white eyes that lack pupils.
SCP-XXXX consumes biological matter, utilizing an unknown process to convert compounds and atoms into water. Upon 'digestion', the resultant liquid will become a part of SCP-XXXX's mass. Radiological scanning of SCP-XXXX's containment chamber suggests the entity is able to alter subatomic particles present within organic matter to produce H2O. This process appears to be impossible to replicate with inorganic matter, including regular water.
Failure to feed SCP-XXXX results in the entity seeking out the nearest source of sustenance through any means necessary. While the subject does not seem to possess a physiological need to feed, its behavior indicates a strong desire to ingest humans. The entity expresses a degree of hesitance in consuming individuals of Japanese descent.
The entity possesses a weight that is over ███% of what liquid water would normally be at SCP-XXXX's volume. SCP-XXXX, in its base state, is highly viscous.
The entity is able to remotely control portions of itself separated from the primary mass, so long as they are in a solid or a liquid state. Sensations felt by separated portions appears to be shared, as seen during Incident XXXX-7. This property was initially discovered in Incident XXXX-3.
While immune to most weapons outside of high yield explosives and thermal weaponry (flamethrowers, cryonic munitions, etc.), SCP-XXXX possesses all the qualities of water, including conductivity and specific heat. SCP-XXXX expresses pain when introduced to electricity or extremely low temperatures, while expressing relaxation when introduced to heat. Of note, portions of SCP-XXXX in a gaseous phase lose all anomalous properties and become regular water.
SCP-XXXX is highly intelligent, showing high level problem solving and intuition. For unknown reasons, the entity refuses to consume aquatic flora and fauna. Though universally hostile, SCP-XXXX expresses a notably extreme dislike of individuals of Chinese or Mongolian descent. While SCP-XXXX has proven capable of producing sounds when in pain, the subject is either unable or unwilling to create organs for speech and hearing. SCP-XXXX is capable of understanding ancient and modern Japanese dialects, as suggested during its violent reactions to written interview attempts conducted in this language.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX, or similar entities, have appeared in history as early as 1274 CE, in the journal of Kublai Khan during the Mongol invasion of Japan. Since, the subject has been intermittently reported in regions as far northeast as the Bering Sea, and as far west as the Indian Ocean. Due to behavioral patterns, it is theorized the subject appears unwilling to leave the Asiatic oceans. In addition, the entity is frequently described as having destroyed ships and consumed peoples foreign to Japan. In recent years this distinction appears to have become irrelevant, and SCP-XXXX will attack any individual on contact.
The entity officially came to Foundation attention during the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Rescue teams in ██████ city reported an entity actively impeding their efforts, in addition to pulling civilians into the water (including ██ members of the search and rescue team). The Foundation, with the cooperation of the Japanese Self-Defense Force, mobilized MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") to assess the situation and contain the subject. Class A amnestics were issued to survivors and witnesses, and a cover story was implemented.
Addendum XXXX-1, Details of Procedure Heliopause: Procedure Heliopause was enacted in 20██, following a containment breach resulting from SCP-XXXX breaking through its container by utilizing extreme pressure caused by compacted mass. The procedure was designed in full after testing of the subject's reaction to extreme heat and cold.
This procedure's means of operation is several high wattage heat lamps in SCP-XXXX's containment chamber. When SCP-XXXX's volume has reached a specific threshold, the heat lamps are to be activated and sustained on SCP-XXXX until such time as the entity has sufficiently evaporated to its baseline volume.
Addendum XXXX-2
On July 3rd, 2015, the mechanical feeding arm for SCP-XXXX briefly made contact with SCP-XXXX's surface. While this did not cause any immediately detrimental effects, SCP-XXXX was able to attach a portion of its mass to the arm. At this point in time, the Foundation was not aware of SCP-XXXX's remote control capabilities, and thus, the mass was contained in a simple plastic container for testing.
The mass, subsequently designated SCP-XXXX-A, broke containment and begun to feed on rodents and insects in and around Site-32. When an adequate mass was reached, the entity consumed and digested a human being. SCP-XXXX-A was detected by body cameras and vital sign monitors attached the the human it consumed, Ronald Davis, a janitor working on-site.
Electroshock weapons were used by security personnel to force SCP-XXXX-A into the on-site incinerator. Incinerator was activated and SCP-XXXX-A evaporated completely. Silicate matter within the subject was successfully retrieved and analyzed.
Afterword: Containment protocols and capabilities of SCP-XXXX updated to match this property. Researcher ████ reprimanded for not sufficiently following containment protocol.
Addendum XXXX-3
By order of Site Director █████████, researchers in Site-32 were assigned to discover evidence of SCP-XXXX's origins. Most reported sightings were random, and held little to no pattern. However, Junior Researcher ████████ reported that no attacks from the entity occurred in ███ Province, known in the modern day as █████ Prefecture. SCP-XXXX was noted to actively hunt in rivers and lakes near the Province, however no sightings of the entity were reported within.
The following are a series of documents received from █████-██ Temple, in the █████ Prefecture. All accounts are taken from the journal of the monk named "████████". Extraneous entries have been removed.
I damn the (head, or chief) monk for his ignorance. The heathens to the west will swallow (Japan) in fire if we do not act. We have the power to. But he is too forward-thinking. The (warrior monks, monk-soldiers) of the past acted, while we sit and do nothing.
I loath to continue on this road, refusing to take fate into our own hands. I will speak to Konoe and Tokugawa. They share my sentiment.
Konoe brought us a scroll from the library. In it, describes a process used by the ancient monks to make their body one with the land. He had to read it to Tokugawa. Konoe warns this process may (damn, curse) our souls. But if it would serve the land, then I would give anything.
Konoe is truly a saint. It is a shame I cannot hear his voice.
We took the ceremonial knife from the treasury. We were almost caught by Hosokawa, but Tokugawa was able to convince him he was simply lost on his way to sleep. It is more plain than I expected, but it is no matter.
I admit that I have begun to fear our decision. It is against the word of Buddha to defile our souls in such a manner. But if this will protect our people and lands for the years to come, I will make any sacrifice.
They told me that there were three. Always three to become the protectors of the land. (Ghosts, or phantoms) of men who took their own lives to defend their people. To be one with the sky, earth, and seas. Konoe wishes to be (the protector) of the earth. It fits him. He is gentle. Hosokawa wishes to be one with the skies. Perhaps it was to avoid bumping into things?
I will be one with the waters. The infinite ocean as my canvas. A place where sound is meaningless. It is a beautiful picture. I slowly feel my fears fading away.
The day has come. The moon is brightest and a storm has struck our land. I pray to Benzaiten I will be forgiven for this act. I give my heart and soul for my people.
Tests on the silicate matter retrieved from SCP-XXXX-A have yielded results that support this document. The matter has proven to be a neuron surrounded by osseous tissue. Each particle of this matter is able to exert a telekinetic control on surrounding water molecules and has a direct contact with other "brain" particles, thus explaining the ability for SCP-XXXX to control its separated parts.
Through analysis of the shape of these particles, it is also suggested that the brain matter of SCP-XXXX was once a singular whole. Over time (the 744 years since the first sighting of SCP-XXXX), the whole decayed, and spread individual brain particles across the mass of the entity. This may potentially explain SCP-XXXX's shift from only hunting foreign individuals to being indiscriminate in recent accounts.
While SCP-XXXX retains human sapience and intelligence, the subject's long term memory has significantly diminished. This is suggested after a test of showing the subject the documents listed above, as the entity expressed a hostile response standard to written interview attempts.
The "ceremonial knife" described within appears to be able to change the human body at a molecular level, given adherence to a specific ritual. Item has been provisionally designated SCP-XXXX-1, and is currently being pursued by MTF Psi-2 ("Bone Hustlers").
SCP-XXXX shortly before containment.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a secure storage locker in Site-76's Safe class storage wing. As SCP-XXXX is not anomalous unless activated, no further containment measures are necessary.
Testing of SCP-XXXX, and exploration of SCP-XXXX-1 is to be approved by no less than three Level 4/XXXX personnel, or the on-site director. See exploration protocols in Addendum XXXX-1.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an ornate oak music box, which shows signs of heavy wear and age. The item is 50 x 30 x 10 cm. The anomaly of SCP-XXXX manifests when opened, as there is no crank mechanism to activate it.
When opened, the object will begin to play a chime based instrumental rendition of the song Disturbia, by the Barbadian singer and songwriter Robyn Rihanna Fenty. While active, the box can be shut, and the song will be cancelled. However, deactivating the item before the music has completed will cause any individual in auditory range to suffer hallucinations and nightmares. These effects typically last for two to three weeks.
Should the item remain open for the duration of the song, all individuals in auditory range will be instantly transported to an alternate dimension [REDACTED]. This area has been subsequently named SCP-XXXX-1. Explorations have proved that this parallel world is infinite, or at the least, far exceeds the surface area of Earth. In the place of the individuals transported a portal will open. This allows individuals who initially entered to exit freely. However, this portal will close immediately once the transported individual re-enters local reality.
Individuals who exit SCP-XXXX-1 report suffering night terrors, hallucinations, and repeating dreams of [DATA EXPUNGED]. These effects usually last for slightly over one month. The only individuals who appear to be immune to this effect are subjects who suffer from narcolepsy. The reason for this is unknown.
