Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a Level 3 Bio-hazard containment facility equipped with a hermetically sealed Category D isolation dome with a volume no greater than 1km³. In addition to the standards outlined in document CB-1003-D, the aforementioned isolation dome is to be outfitted with the following equipment, per document I-103-2:

• Four Class C emergency incineration devices
• Four Class B atmospheric displacement units (Inert Gas - Argon)
• One Level 2 Air-lock equipped equipped with heat-based decontaminators

Any and all facility personnel directly interacting with SCP-XXXX are required to wear Class A Hazardous Containment Equipment in order to minimize the chance of SCP-XXXX attempting to infect its observers. Additionally, personnel exiting SCP-XXXX's containment area are required to stand for heat-based decontamination procedures within the containment area's air-lock. This procedure includes chemical-based ████████ and heating the air-lock's atmosphere to ████████ for two minutes.

Any personnel come into direct physical contact with SCP-XXXX are to be terminated immediately by incineration. Any remaining biological matter is to remain within SCP-XXXX's containment area and under no circumstances should any other personnel attempt to recover said biological matter.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a creeping vine originally found in the tropical regions of █████████. SCP-XXXX was first discovered in 20██ by a conservation team attempting to record the effects of climate change on the local flora. Upon discovering SCP-XXXX, the conservation team attempted to analyze it, noting its unique coiling tendrils and unusual texture.

Foundation personnel were notified of SCP-XXXX's existence after incident XXXX-A was reported to the local authorities via surviving members of the conservation team. A description of the incident is included in this document.

SCP-XXXX appears to exhibit a sort of sentience, or partial-sentience. Any attempt to cut, rip, or otherwise remove samples of SCP-XXXX are met with near immediate hostility. SCP-XXXX will lash out with one or many of its tendrils in a similar fashion to that of a coiled snake striking at prey. Additionally, SCP-XXXX appears to be able to perceive vital areas of the body it strikes at, such as the neck, or eyes.

Upon successful extraction, foundation personnel moved SCP-XXXX to a secure location near ████████. Upon reestablishment of SCP-XXXX's root system in its new habitat, SCP-XXXX immediately lashed out at foundation personnel. This event is noted below in the document titled Incident XXXX-B.

+ Incident Report: XXXX-A

Incident XXXX-A, as reported to local law enforcement, is an event in which an expeditionary party's members were killed, reportedly by an unusual plant discovered by the party. Of the original party, three members survived, with one fatality reported.

Local law enforcement did not investigate this claim further, and issued a citation to █████████ for filing a false report.

Incident Report XXXX-A

Date: 03/14/20██

Foreword: Below is a translation of an interview of █████████ conducted by Officer Velasquez of █████████ Police:

<BEGIN RECORDING>

Velasquez: Please state what happened.

Interviewee: I don't know. We were out in the jungle, measuring things. Carbon dioxide levels; atmospheric moisture content; temperature fluctuations. That was when we ran into this unusual looking plant.

Velasquez: And you're saying that the plant attacked you. Am I understanding that correctly?

Interviewee: Yes. I know it sounds crazy, but it happened.

Velasquez: You expect me to believe that a vine attacked you?

Interviewee: I know what I saw. Dominic is dead because of that… thing. It's like it knew where to hit him. It started striking and pierced Dominic's eye, then dug its way through his skull until it reached his brain. That is what it looked like.

Velasquez: Okay. I think we're done here. Do not come back here and waste my time again.

Interviewee: No! Wait! Don't you believe me? Go out there and look for his body! You'll see that I…
