Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures:SCP-XXXX is immobile. A 1 km perimeter, designated Site-XXXX, has been established around it's location. The perimeter is surrounded by two layers of barbed, electrified fencing set to a lethal shock if touched. Additionally, six 360 degree view watch towers are situated across the perimeter, four on each corner and two guarding the entrance checkpoint of the compound. Each watch tower is to contain at least two security personnel, one to control the floodlights and the other armed with a bolt action sniper rifle. Anybody attempting to enter the compound by sabotaging the fencing is to be terminated immediately by the security personnel. In the unlikely event of a terrorist or emergency incident, the watch tower security personnel will be authorised the use of TOW missiles and/or heavy machine guns.
In addition to this, the perimeter is to have a restricted airspace that will automatically divert and/or terminate non-Foundation aircraft. Foundation drones may also be deployed to patrol the facility in high alert situations.
The entrance checkpoint of the compound is to be protected by multiple layers of concrete walls as well as manual gates that only activate when using a Level 4+ clearance code. Personnel may only be permitted to enter the site if they are accompanied or accepted by the Site Director or an 05 member. Once past the gates, each Foundation worker is to be searched and accompanied at all times while D-class personnel are to be escorted to a highly secure barracks to await for any instructions or testing. Any D-class personnel seen outside of the barracks unaccompanied by no more than two security guards are to be detained immediately.
SCP-XXXX is to be surrounded by a 100m x 100m soundproof, environmental dome comprised of thick shatter-proof glass and thick titanium support. The dome must keep a constant temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and must always be lit by artificial lighting during the night to avoid agitating any instances of SCP-XXXX. The interior of the dome is split into 16 sections, each section covered in a different species of plant capable of being pollinated. Each section must be changed monthly to keep the supply of pollen constant in the dome. In the event of a containment breach, the dome must be quarantined and cooled to a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius to keep SCP-XXXX instances dormant. Any instances of SCP-XXXX that have escaped outside of the dome are to be terminated instantly through the use of incinerators or military grade flamethrowers.
Entry to the dome to extract honey/beeswax or resupply pollen must be approved by the Site Director and each personnel must be accompanied by at least two security personnel as well as a highly trained Apiologist. It is highly advised to conduct honey extraction during the dormancy season which is between the 20th of September to the 12th of February. Each personnel inside the dome must be equipped with an odourless, soundproof beekeeper suit and must avoid making any sound while within the dome. Communication between personnel within the dome are forbidden apart from sign language as making any sound will provoke instances of SCP-XXXX.
*NOTE:* As of ██/██/19, all entrance to the dome to extract honey/beeswax is forbidden. The 05 council have declared SCP-XXXX to be reclassified as Keter due to the events of Incident 00-1.
EMERGENCY PROTOCOL GAMMA: As of
Incident 00-4, containment of SCP-XXXX has become impossible. Efforts have been made to neutralise and calm instances of SCP-XXXX though to no avail. The O5 Council have requested that all human settlements within a 25km distance of SCP-XXXX are to be evactuated to avoid any contact between the public and SCP-XXXX instances, with the area now being quarantined and designated Quarantine-G3. A manhunt has been placed on the location of Former Site Director Davis for 96% of all international law enforcement agencies as his capture is necessary to resolve the events of
Incident 00-4. Any instances of SCP-XXXX found outside of Quarantine-G3 are to be immediately captured by highly trained Foundation personnel and terminated. In the event that Quarantine-G3 is lost, presumed to occur in 4-6 years, the O5 have devised a "controversial" procedure that has been limited to be viewed only by Level 4+ Foundation Personnel.
Procedure Extermination: In the event that Quarantine-G3 is lost, Procedure "Extermination is to be enacted as soon as possible. 05-██ and 05-██ are each designated with a key card responsible for initiating Procedure Extermination from their personal chambers as soon as it is declared that instances of SCP-XXXX have escaped Quarantine-G3. Activation of the Procedure will result in the following events:
- All security and staff stationed within Quarantine-G3 are given 20 minutes to evacuate the site. This gives them enough time to safely have enough time to leave the area as well as gives them enough time to take any valuable documents/substances that are valued/needed by the Foundation. Staff are to be reminded to not risk time searching for their personal belongings or return to the area after the evacuation notice.
- After the 20 minutes have past, the on-site coolant system is activated, reducing the temperature of the entire quarantined zone to approximately 0 degrees Celsius which reduces the risk of any further instances of SCP-XXXX escaping Quarantine-G3. If SCP-XXXX-1 is reported as acting agitated during this period, this step should be immediately skipped.
- Four on-site 10MT nuclear warheads are detonated after a 1 hour period, completely destroying all organic life within the approximate Quarantine Zone.
- Once detonated, the detonation is to be reported to all news broadcasts as a "nuclear test" conducted by the SCP Foundation and that there is no emergency. The detonation zone is to be artificially cooled by [REDACTED] technology.
- During the next three months, the detonation site is to be fenced off and radiation warnings placed to all nearby human settlements. MTF Squads Beta-7 and Lambda-12 are to be deployed to find and terminate any surviving instances of SCP-XXXX. If SCP-XXXX-1 is discovered then it is to be calmed and re contained back to its hive(presumed to be still standing even after the detonation).
Note that this Procedure does not stop the threat of the growth of SCP-XXXX but rather hinders it. It is estimated that SCP-XXXX will continue to rapidly grow more agitated and in numbers as long as Former Site Director Davis continues his operation. Therefore, the Foundation is to divert most of its efforts to locate the whereabouts of Former Site Director Davis and interrogate him for the location of all shipments of the honey of SCP-XXXX as well as the areas where Davis operated in. If Davis continues to agitate SCP-XXXX, it will pose a major threat to nearby eco-systems as well as human life.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a colony of anomalously large honeybee's, each specimen averaging 90 cm long. Despite their relatively high mass and size, specimens of SCP-XXXX are capable of moving at speeds of approximately 22 kilometres per hour(roughly the same as standard honeybees) The "queen" of the instances of SCP-XXXX(Referred to as SCP-XXXX-1) is even larger, having an approximate length of 1.68m. SCP-XXXX-1 appears to have a resistant effect to any fatal action, being able to survive disintegration, freezing and gunshot wounds. Attempts to terminate SCP-XXXX-1 all resulted in the instance becoming more agitated and hostile.
On average, the lifespan of an instance of SCP-XXXX is estimated to be around 4-6 years while the lifespan of SCP-XXXX-1 is unknown, presumed to be around 100-200 years. Apart from size and lifespan, instances of SCP-XXXX are similar to other bees in terms of behaviour and objective. Instances will seek out nearby plants, conduct pollination and produce honey/beeswax. Generally, instances of SCP-XXXX are not hostile and will not attack humans or animals unless provoked. However, Specimens of SCP-XXXX are easily provoked by sound and odour, and will attack any foreign entity in their vicinity,, mercilessly attacking the source of the sound/odour until it ceases to create the sound/odour. The only way to restore the normal behaviour of instances of SCP-XXXX is to set the temperature of its environment to 0 degrees Celsius, which leaves all instances of SCP-XXXX in a dormant state, "resetting" their behaviour to the usual. However, this effect appears to not affect the instances of SCP-XXXX again until their dormant period ends, meaning that this procedure should only be used during single-time emergencies and/or containment breaches.
The hive of SCP-XXXX is approximately 44 metres tall and 18 metres wide in an asymmetrical spherical shape, comprised of SCP-XXXX's beeswax. An estimated 100 instances of SCP-XXXX are presumed to reside inside it, usually hibernating for up to 6 months per year inside it. Every year, SCP-XXXX produces an estimated 250kg of what is believed to be their version of honey and beeswax but their properties are different when compared to standard honey and beeswax(See Addendum 00-1 for more information). The hive was discovered by a group of scientists in 20██ by a wildlife reserve in [REDACTED], North America while studying insects in the area. After discovering the hive, the scientists were immediately attacked by multiple instances of SCP-XXXX, resulting in multiple deaths. After the scientists' corpses and SCP-XXXX instances were discovered surrounding the hive, the Foundation was quickly alerted and began efforts to remove the hive of SCP-XXXX from the area into an official Foundation site. Efforts to remove the hive became hazardous and improbable due to the hostility of SCP-XXXX's instances as well as the mass of the hive being abnormally large, estimated to be around █████ tonnes.
Each instance of SCP-XXXX is equipped with a stinger twenty four times the proportionate size to a standard honey bee, having an anomalous temperature of 373 degrees Celsius. Each instances stinger is incredibly durable and sharp, capable of penetrating dense metallic structures such as titanium and gold. Each instance's stinger is coated in a bright, orange coloured venom. The venom holds anomalous properties still being tested by Foundation personnel. Any organism that comes into contact with the substance will immediately begin feeling a burning sensation that quickly spreads across its body. After 10 seconds of exposure to the venom, the organism will suffer total organ failure before dying. 100% of all cases related to the exposure of the venom of SCP-XXXX onto the organic matter are fatal and no cure has currently been developed for the venom.
Addendum 00-1: During a test involving D-4532(A 29 year old Caucasian who had a long medical history of health illnesses such as lung cancer and PTSD) consuming one tablespoon of SCP-XXXX's honey, D-4532 described the taste of the honey as "mind blowing ". Shortly after consumption, D-4532 began experiencing "fits" of happiness as described by Foundation scientists who also stated "he began experiencing positive emotions and feelings that were unnatural to him". Site Director Davis learnt about this and pulled D-4532 from Protocol 12 in order to study the effects of the honey on the subject. Over the next 12 months, it had been shown that D-4532 had not exhibited any negative emotion, such as fear or stress, throughout the yearly period,sparking considerable interest from both the Site Director as well as other Foundation sites with Keter SCP's that have a long history of negatively impacting staff mental states. Although D-4532 had expressed interest in consuming the honey of SCP-XXXX again, it does not appear that the subject was addicted to it. Further tests were conducted and found that the honey of SCP-XXXX has an anomalous property that cures any organism of any "harmful" medical diseases and suppresses negative emotions.
Meanwhile, the beeswax material has been tested to be extremely durable, capable of withstanding extreme physical trauma such as extreme heat, frost, physical trauma and acidic substances. The discovery of these properties have sparked interest in the Foundation, particularly the 05-Council which have requested the Foundation Architects to create versions of existing containment for other Keter-Class SCP's but with the usage of the beeswax of SCP-XXXX.
After this discovery, Site Director Davis released a statement:
It has come to our attention that the honey substance produced by SCP-XXXX has a unique effect in that it can "cure" any diseases/disorders of an organism that consumes the honey. This substance has great potential within the Foundation as both an anti-depressant for staff working in hostile SCP environments and as a cure for terminal illness. There is still more to be researched on this substance, such as any other properties it might have as well as whether or not it can be used against other SCP subjects which release anomalous diseases that have previously had no cure. I have sent a request to the 05 Council to start shipping the "honey" of SCP-XXXX to other Foundation sites - Site Director Davis
**Site Director Davis' request was denied by the 05 Council as the Council had decided that more testing of the honey was to be conducted before distributing it across the Foundation sites. The Site Director expressed his disappointment in a statement, stating, "It's a shame the Foundation don't recognise the fact that the substance themes bees make is incredible and potentially life changing. I will continue pushing this request forward until it is approved."
Incident 00-1: 24 months after consuming the SCP-XXXX's honey substance, D-4532 began experiencing chronic discomfort in his abdomen, leading to him being taken to Site ██ to investigate the cause. Shortly before investigation of the cause, D-4532 reportedly entered a state of insanity, screaming and violently attacking nearby staff. After 10 seconds of reaching the enraged state, D-4532's abdomen unprecedentedly "combust" and it was revealed that inside his body were multiple instances of SCP-XXXX covered in the honey substance. The instances immediately began attacking nearby staff and caused the entire site to be put on lockdown.
MTF Squads Beta-7 and Gamma 5 were immediately deployed and set up a 10km quarantine perimeter across the site. All instances were successfully re contained through cryogenic equipment and an autopsy of D-4532 revealed that the honey substance in his body were slowly developing embryos of SCP-XXXX, which immediately began stinging the subject after being made. A Z-Class Emergency was declared and all Sites immediately began tracking down all users of the honey of SCP-XXXX to begin termination of them. Site Director Davis was reprimanded for his failure to discover the true side effects of the honey substance, despite Davis reportedly showcasing weekly scans of D-4532's body showing no signs of
During this event, staff at Site-XXXX reported that SCP-XXXX-1 began experiencing fits of agitation, attempting to break the glass of the dome and escape. No damage had been observed, though the hive of SCP-XXXX grew exponentially by about 10 metres in volume.
The 05 council initiated a statement shortly after, stating:
We at the 05 council have heard of the disastrous event at Site ██ and have promised to do everything we can to uncover who was infected with the substance of SCP-XXXX. All traces of the honey of SCP-XXXX are to be disintegrated immediately to prevent any further consumption and all tests of the honey of any organism are to be cancelled. As of now, the top priority of the Foundation is to figure where all the shipments of the substance of SCP-XXXX were sent to as there is evidence shipments were sent to hospitals and even commercial companies. Failure to seek out the users of SCP-XXXX's honey could result in an outbreak and may result in a mass loss of life, particularly if some users reside in urban areas. We urge any previous users of the substance to come forth and be taken into the Foundation's hands to be studied as this may help develop a cure for the honey substance. -05 Council
Incident 00-2: Nine months after the events of Incident 00-1, a similar event occurred in a public environment in ████, Kenya where reports suggested that a 36 year old Taitan woman died in her home. Witnesses stated that they heard a combustive sound at her home and were chased off by instances of SCP-XXXX which then quickly returned back to the corpse of the victim. Foundation personnel were quickly alerted and MTF Squad Beta-7 quarantined the area, terminating all instances of SCP-XXXX as well as detaining all witnesses nearby the area for examination. Upon investigation of the victims home, Foundation personnel discovered that the honey in her home, commercially labelled "[REDACTED] Honey", included samples of honey produced by SCP-XXXX. As a result of this event, the Foundation urged all African governments to issue a warning to their population that the honey had been banned for containing "poisonous ingredients", a false statement issued to prevent mass panic.
The incident sparked major controversy among the foundation, with multiple senior staff questioning the Foundation on how it was possible that samples of SCP XXXX's honey were distributed in a public area. Suspicion was immediately centred on Site Director Davis, who was detained and questioned exactly three days after Incident 00-2. Shortly afterwards, he was interviewed by the Head of the SCP Foundation Security Council, Colonel [REDACTED].
Interviewed: [Former Site Director Davis]
Interviewer: [Colonel [REDACTED]]
Background: The interview had taken place in a interview room located on Site-XXXX. Multiple high figures, including 05-██, spectated through a live-streamed camera during the interview.]
Site Director Davis is a 37 year old, Hispanic man born in Miami, Florida. His early life comprised of him achieving advanced engineering feats during his career in the USN(United States Navy). Shortly afterward, he was offered a role as an engineer and executive security officer at Bio Research Site-104, maintaining and securing containments for highly dangerous organic and biological SCP's such as SCP-1104 and SCP-628. His charismatic and passionate personality/ethic quickly led to his promotion as a Site Director for SCP-XXXX. During his Site Director status, Davis would frequently positively encourage his staff and even offer them leisure activities after their work shifts to relieve stress after the harsh environments of Site-XXXX.
<Begin Log>
Colonel [REDACTED]: Mr Samuel Davis, you have been detained on suspicion of violating multiple Foundation guidelines and protocols, most specifically Protocol 2 which prohibits any researchers/site directors to intentionally use an SCP object on the public. Do you take responsibility for these actions?
Davis: Yes.
Colonel [REDACTED]: You previously did request the Foundation to distribute the substance of SCP-XXXX across multiple sites, which was promptly denied. Why did you choose to disobey those orders and also distribute them in a PUBLIC area.
Davis: To be honest, it's kind of hard for me to state one clear reason why I chose to release the substance into the hands of the public. Some of it was due to greed, y'know cause of shit salary and all that. Some of it was also for trying to make a difference. Seeing that D-Class who was once depressed, suicidal and obviously soulless smile for the first time set off this sort of spark in me, like I've made a difference. Obviously, I knew I fucked up as it is now clear that honey substance is a ticking time bomb and that there are a lot of people about to get killed because of my actions. I just couldn't have predicted that the honey…
Colonel
Davis appears to intentionally sign as the phrase is heard, presumed to be as a showcase of his guilt
