Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently being kept at 2mx2m2m steel cell with 3 cm thickness under 10 m sea level. The cell is to not have any furniture or item placed inside the containment area. There is not to be any indication of an entrance to the containment area from the inside and outside. The information concerning the containment area's presence requires at least Class 3 Security Level Clearance in order to be dispensed. As of writing, SCP-XXXX is under no circumstance allowed to be removed from its containment cell. Due to the SCP in question's nature, sustenance such as nutrition or ventilation is not required, any personnel attempting to enter under such motive is to be removed by force immediately. The SCP-XXXX-1 can only be activated under Class C personnel's supervision. Under no circumstance the blindfold obstructing SCP-XXXX-2's eyesight is to be removed.
Description: SCP-XXXX consists of two primary components:
SCP-XXXX-1 is a container resembling a wine barrel with a 0.5 m diameter and 1 m height. Despite seemingly made of white ash wood(Fraxinus americana), object is confirmed to be resistant to environmental effects for long periods of time. Any physical trauma applied to SCP-XXXX-1 results in no apparent damage.
SCP-XXXX-2 is a humanoid entity appearing to be a male around 60-70 ages, and of unknown descent. The object is seemingly dormant inside SCP-XXXX-1. An experiment comprising of SCP-XXXX being subjected to X-ray scan for 8 hours has determined the SCP-XXXX-1 cannot be reliably determined whether the object is sleeping, or awake inside SCP-XXXX-1. The experiment in addition has shown SCP-XXXX is affected by several reality warping effects inward, such as but not limited to:
- Forming and vanishing of unrecognized materials in solid, liquid and gas states,
- Violation of laws of physics, biology, and chemistry,
- Confirmed space of SCP-XXXX-1 enlarging or shrinking.
It has been confirmed the aforementioned effects are caused by SCP-XXXX-2, and activation of them have no relation with SCP-XXXX-2's dormancy.
In order to awaken SCP-XXXX-2, the object must be removed from SCP-XXXX-1 forcibly. Any interaction with SCP-XXXX-2 is impossible until it is removed, or it engages first. A blindfold and ragged clothes of unknown material can be observed on SCP-XXXX-2. The object has low intelligence as it appears to "forget" bodily functions like breathing, eating and excretion, and has to be constantly reminded of certain information. SCP-XXXX-2 seems to be unaware of its surroundings, as it has to be informed of its removal from SCP-XXXX-1 for the object to comprehend it. After removal, SCP-XXXX-2 also seems to be vulnerable to loud noises, and sudden physical force. The object's mental age is considerably low, being especially susceptible to persuasion.
Origin: SCP-XXXX had been found in Europe, ████████, ten meters under sea level, encased in ice. Upon discovery of a living human inside, the Foundation relocated the object.
A number of experiments and documents related to SCP-XXXX, conducted by Senior Researcher Dr. ██████:
Test A
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: SCP-XXXX-1 is to be pushed, then slammed with a 3 kg mallet, and lastly shot with a 9mm bullet. Same procedure is applied to SCP-XXXX-2 while inside the SCP-XXXX-1.
Results: SCP-XXXX-1 is able to be moved around like a normal object. When slammed with the mallet, SCP-XXXX-1 does not move from its position, and mallet stops with no recoil impact. When shot, the bullet phases through SCP-XXXX-1 completely, injuring the personnel executing the experiment. SCP-XXXX-2 is unphased by being squeezed inside the barrel, and same results occur when the next procedures are applied. The object continues its dormant state.
Analysis: The more physical violence applied to SCP-XXXX, the more both objects seem to violate physical laws back. SCP-XXXX-2 can only be activated by removal.
Test B
Subject: SCP-XXXX-2
Procedure: SCP-XXXX-2 is to be removed from SCP-XXXX-1, and is to be asked a number of predetermined questions by Dr. ██████.
Results: After removal, SCP-XXXX-2 immediately awakens and begins to interact with the personnel. See Interview-XXXX-1 for further information.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-2's abilites are exclusive to the inside of SCP-XXXX-1.
Test C
Subject: SCP-XXXX-2
Procedure: SCP-XXXX-2 is to be removed from SCP-XXXX-1, and is to be asked a number of predetermined questions by Dr. ██████, in return for answering to any interaction made by SCP-XXXX-2.
Results: See Interview-XXXX-2 for further information.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-2 abilities are exclusive to the inside of SCP-XXXX-1, except under one condition.
Test D
Subject: SCP-XXXX-2
Procedure: The blindfold of SCP-XXXX-2 being removed.
Results: [DATA EXPUNGED]
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-2 seems to have one missing eye. SCP-XXXX must be locked immediately for an indefinite amount of time. The security of SCP-XXXX's containment area must be enhanced. No experiments will be made on SCP-XXXX any longer.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-2
Interviewer: Dr. ██████
Foreword: (SCP-XXXX-1's lid is opened and SCP-XXXX-2 is brought outside by Class D personnel. The object expresses confusion upon removal.)
<Begin Log>
SCP-XXXX-2: …Wha-? Oh my, the floor is so cold!
Dr. ██████: Good afternoon, SCP-XXXX-2. I would like to have a chat if you do not mind.
SCP-XXXX-2: …W-where am I? Am I out?
Dr. ██████: I swear by my Hippocratic Oath that I will answer any of your questions after you answer mine, is it a deal?
SCP-XXXX-2: S-sure mister, how can I help you?
Dr. ██████: What were you doing in that barrel?
SCP-XXXX-2: Oh, you mean my house? I live there. It was a hot summer day mister, the street was steaming I tell you! I had a chocolate in my pocket. It was melting, so I put it in the barrel. When I was trying to reach it, I just tripped and got stuck in there!
(Upon this statement, a chocolate bar of ██████ brand is observed inside SCP-XXXX-1. Upon attempting to reach the bar, the temperature inside SCP-XXXX-1 is measured to be 318 Kelvin. No trace of oxygen is found.)
Dr. ██████: You said the floor was cold, didn't you? Please let him get up.
(SCP-XXXX-2 is lifted off the ground. SCP-XXXX-1's temperature drops to 274 Kelvin. The chocolate bar vanishes.)
SCP-XXXX-2: Thank you mister. I've felt freezing concrete for years, but I'm an old fart you know!
Dr. ██████: Don't mention it. How do you breathe in there old man? I heard barrels were made quite stuffy these days.
SCP-XXXX-2: …Is it? W-well, I keep forgetting about that! Guess you get used to it after some time eh!
(SCP-XXXX-2 laughs. Oxygen forms inside SCP-XXXX-1.)
Dr. ██████: You know what, I remembered that I am getting late to somewhere. I left a present to you in your barrel while you weren't looking, would you take a look there? I will be leaving now, will you be around here when I return?
SCP-XXXX-2: My, leaving already? Don't worry mister, I am always around here for chit-chat with nice sires like you! Thanks for the generous gift! God bless you!
(SCP-XXXX-2 is placed back to SCP-XXXX-2. The experiment is over.)

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-2
Interviewer: Dr. ██████
Foreword: (SCP-XXXX is removed from its containment area and brought to the interview room. The room consists of three furniture, one wooden table and two chairs. SCP-XXXX-2 is removed from SCP-XXXX-1.)
<Begin Log>
SCP-XXXX-2: W-what's going on here? I didn't do anything wrong!
Dr. ██████: Calm down old man, take a breath or two. Please let him sit down. Don't you remember me?
SCP-XXXX-2: W-well have we met?.. I-I might remember if you tell me your name!
Dr. ██████: I am the sire that left you a present when we met the first time, you even told me about your chocolate.
SCP-XXXX-2: Ooh, if you had left me a present, then you certainly must be a kind sire indeed! I don't remember when I told you about my chocolate though, sorry!
(A chocolate bar of ██████ brand appearing similar to the one in previous experiment appears inside SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 seems to be filled with fresh oxygen.)
Dr. ██████: Don't sweat it. Are you comfortable where you are?
SCP-XXXX-2: Very very comfortable. My butt hasn't seen any chair in years! Can you kindly tell me where I am? I think someone took my barrel! It is the closest thing I have to a home! Is my barrel alright?
It is more than fine, I assure you. You are in a 3mx3mx3m room with me right now. It just has two chairs; one for you, one for me, and a cozy small table between us. Nothing else. Quite empty, right?
SCP-XXXX-2: Well by my beard! It is the biggest room I've ever been in! Do you mind telling me how big that is supposed to be?
Dr. ██████: It is around… ten times your feet's length. Is it too big?
(The interview room enlarges, to the size of 10 feet in length, width and height.)
SCP-XXXX-2: Just big? My sire that's ginormous! Do people really live in such places? And they still whine about how tiny the roof over their head is! The nerve of some.
Dr. ██████: …You really think so? I see…How are you feeling right now?
SCP-XXXX-2: I feel excellent, really! You know, sometime ago, a nice sire like you once gave me some of his apple juice. Sweetest thing I've had ever had! I was keeping some of it in my barrel. I hope it didn't go sour much! You want some too?
(A cup of fresh apple juice apparates next to SCP-XXXX-2's hand. A dozen of cups also appear on Dr. ██████'s side.)
SCP-XXXX-2: Mmmm. It never tasted this fresh before!
Dr. ██████: …I think you are mistaken, I looked inside your barrel, and there was no apple juice there at all.
SCP-XXXX-2: …There wasn't? B-but I was sure I left some around there somewhere!.. Huh, I guess my old brain is fooling me after all.
(The cup disappears from SCP-XXXX-2's hand, along with cups from Dr. ██████'s side.)
Dr. ██████: Don't worry about that, look at the nice weather! Let's take in the fresh air into our lungs!
SCP-XXXX-2: I think you are right! The air is so nice, it reminds me of apple juice!
(Dr. ██████ claims here there was an intense apple juice smell in each breath he took.)
Dr. ██████: But sadly, man's work never listens to any beautiful weather. I have plenty of work to do today. I must leave now, my friend.
SCP-XXXX-2: So soon? It really is sad you can't just stay and take in the beauty sire! I assure you I will take enough breaths for both of us!
Dr. ██████: I would really appreciate that. Now that I mind, I think I was wrong when I said there was no apple juice in your barrel. I can clearly see that you left here some. My silly head!
SCP-XXXX-2: Oh, there is?! Can you let me in as well?
Dr. ██████: Of course, just let me help you get in!
(SCP-XXXX-2 is placed inside SCP-XXXX-1 by Dr. ██████. The room returns to its original shape before interview. The experiment is over.)
<End Log>
Addendum: "Upon my experiments, I believe each interaction made with SCP-XXXX is potentially a global threat to humanity. Just lock away the damn thing, some things are better left undisturbed." -Dr. ██████
