SCP-096-J2

Item #: SCP-096-J2

Object Class: Thaumiel Uncontained but Timid as DATA EXPUNGED and Scary as Hell

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-096-J2 is currently uncontained as it is very difficult to locate. If anybody working for the Foundation uncovers any information about a recent sighting of SCP-J2, please contact a member of the O5 Council at soon as possible then await further instructions.

Description: SCP-096-J2 is Timid as DATA EXPUNGED and scary as hell. It’s also seems to be quite tall, a bit chubby, pale as a ghost, with super long arms [Footnote 1: Like on an orangutan but with absolutely zero hair present completely hairless] and very little muscle mass. It can open its lower jaw to the point it hits the floor [Footnote 2: it seems to lack the ability to close its lower jaw. Further analysis on this is required but it is believed that the jaw bones might not work very well.]. Keep in mind that this is all based on eyewitness accounts. SCP-096-J2 is so timid that nobody in the Foundation has ever actually seen it or managed to take a photo of it. Except for Dr. [REDACTED] but nobody has seen him or heard from him either, not since that one incident [LINK: That One Incident…]

When SCP-096-J2 is looked at, either directly or using secondary media of any type [Footnote 3: Photographs and video], it will cover its face then start screaming like a banshee, crying like a toddler, and babbling incoherently gibbering like a total madman complete lunatic. Shortly [Footnote 4: About 1-2 minutes, based on eyewitness accounts.] after it stops acting like a REDACTED, it will open its jaw to the floor then proceed to chase down the unlucky person until that person collapses from exhaustion then it will quickly find a new place to hide until it’s safe to come out again.


LINK: That One Incident [Title Not Finalized]

The following is an audio transcript of a video chat between O5-REDACTED at REDACTED and Dr. REDACTED at REDACTED. The video log was incinerated due to [DATA EXPUNGED].

O5-REDACTED: GOD DAMMIT, DR. REDACTED! The O5 Council looked over your plan to track down SCP-096-J2. We gave you MTF-Tau-1 because you said you had the means to capture this thing. Now the entire task force had to be airlifted to safety because it chased every single one of them until they all collapsed due to exhaustion after they ran away from this thing for over REDACTED days. Do you have any idea how much trouble you are in Doctor?

Dr. REDACTED: I screwed up! I get it! Just use me as bait to catch this thing then terminate it once and for all.

O5-REDACTED: Well, that sounds promising, as long as you turn yourself in for termination after all this blows over. I mean, this IS the Foundation. When mistakes happen, somebody needs to be found accountable then terminated. In other circumstances, we would just execute[Footnote 1: Edited by the Ethics Committee: We do not execute, we terminate.] terminate a handful of Class-Ds but that just won’t be enough for a problem of this magnitude.

Dr. REDACTED: Seriously? Why me? Can’t you find somebody else to blame, like your newest buddy [LINK: O5-13 || captain-kirby-s-proposal] or that idiot who caused a school bus to catch fire [LINK: SCP-666-j || Dr. Gerald’s Driving Skills.]

O5-REDACTED: You’re testing my patience and I don’t like it.

Dr. REDACTED: Oh, you think you’re so smart. [DATA EXPUNGED]

O5-REDACTED: GOOD GOD! PUT THAT PHOTO AWAY THIS INSTANT! [DATA EXPUNGED].

Aftermath: The O5 Council Member was able to trip the silent alarm and disable the camera feed, but he still spent REDACTED days in the infirmary. Security personnel were able to destroy the image with no issues. Dr. REDACTED was [DATA EXPUNGED] and SCP-096-J2 remains uncontained as of 12/31/REDACTED.
