Containment Cell for SCP-4437

Item #: SCP-4437

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4437 is to be contained in an airtight room at all times. In this room, SCP-4437 will inhabit a cylindrical cryocooler filled with ice at temperatures below the freezing point of Argon (-189.4 °C). Every month this cryocooler is to be replaced in order to maintain durability.

Description: After analysis, SCP-4437 is composed solely of argon in a gaseous state. However, SCP-4437 has shown signs of consciousness and intelligence after research. SCP-4437 has shown hostile intent towards humans, every instance of interaction has ended in SCP-4437 killing by asphyxiation. SCP-4437 is contained at site #122, Greenland.

The discovery of SCP-4437 occurred after 109 civilians from ███████, Denmark mysteriously died. Lead by Dr. J███████ ████████, a team of scientists investigated this anamoly. Overnight, 4 of these scientists suffocated and the team was immediately ordered to return to safety. After equipping Hazmat suits, scientists returned to continue their research. Oxygen levels inside the homes of the deceased were reported to be 20% lower than average while argon levels had skyrocketed. These scientists then devised an experiment to capture SCP-4437. 2 D-class personnel were locked in a cell with a liquid nitrogen component above. When the subjects began to suffocate, the cell was made airtight and liquid nitrogen was emptied into the room. Frozen argon was later identified in the room. It was decided that this sample of argon was to be immediately transfered to site #███, Greenland to be researched further.

SCP-4437 is able to communicate in English with scientists by spelling words with given sand particles. Every response forms a combination of letters which is recorded and transfered into words via computer. SCP-4437 only willingly communicates after given a human "sacrifice". When communication is desired, D-class personnel are ordered to clean SCP-4437's containment room while SCP-4437 is unthawed and are consequently led to their deaths.

Through conversation, SCP-4437 claims to originally be frozen in the Arctic, but set loose because of climate change. SCP-4437 believes "it is unfair that the ultimate species on Mother Earth abuses the environment. It's time for our mother to have a new dominant species, one that cares for it in return for all that she offers us. She merely contained us for us to esacpe and save her once more!" When D-class personnel sacrifices have been made, researchers have noticed a sharp increase in temperature around the vicinity of SCP-4437. The current hypothesis on this anomaly states that SCP-4437 converts the unused glucose in a dead body into heat.

SCP-4437 also claims that many other beings are frozen in the Arctic. SCP-4437 refers to them as "brothers" and claims they have the ability to "wreak havoc" upon humanity if unfrozen. SCP-4437 has reportedly made attempts to thaw out these beings to help "restore mother to her glorious self" Researchers believe that the conversion of glucose from dead bodies into heat may be one of these attempts. Further investigation into these beings is underway.

Addendum 4437-1: Through further communication, SCP-4437 has hinted that similar situations in the past had been "dealt with accordingly" by its brothers. Scientists hypothesize that previous mass extinction events such as the Ordovician-Silurian extinction are connected to SCP-4437 and its brothers. The causes for past mass extinction events (such as low oxygen levels in the atmosphere and increased global temperatures) would create perfect environmental conditions for SCP-4437 and beings alike to thrive.
