Special Containment Procedures
SCP-XXXX is to be contained for analysis at the earliest possible opportunity. For the time being, containment is to focus on the distribution of amnestics and containment of information regarding SCP-XXXX attacks.

Description

+ Version 1

SCP-XXXX is Herbert Bingham, an elderly male 90 years in age. SCP-XXXX has the ability to warp any biological tissue it comes in contact with. Killing human individuals seems to regress SCP-XXXX in age. This ability seems to only be able to regress SCP-XXXX as far as the 20-years-of-age mark.

+ Version 2

SCP-XXXX is a ring appearing to be composed of bone and cartilage. The ring, when worn, gives the wearer two distinct abilities:
1. The ability to warp any flesh the wearer comes into contact with, usually resulting in severe bodily injury and death on the part of the recipient.
2. Involuntary regression in physical age proportional to the age of the victims and the amount of time since the last killing. While not tested under proper lab conditions as of yet, the relation between the wearers state of age regression and killing habits seems to be as follows:
R=V-D
where R equals how many years the wearer regresses in age, the limit of which is to the age of 20 years. V equals the sum of the age of the victim or victims if more than one individual was killed in a short period of time. D is equal to the number of days since the last killing. Every day since the last killing, the wearer regains one year until they either kill again or are back to their original age.

Addendum XXXX-1: Discovery
SCP-XXXX was first noted by the FBI's Unusual Incidents Unit as anomalous following several serial killings happening in quick succession. The nature of the injuries lead UIU agents to believe the crimes were of anomalous origin. Of note is the fact that most early killings were of individuals convicted of sexual assault in various forms.
Note: The list only shows victims killed before the Foundation exited the initial investigation. To get a complete list of victims, contact the GOI office.

On 4/9/2021, the FBI UIU contacted the Foundation requesting aid for what they believed to be an anomalous phenomenon. Due to the lack of evidence that the nature of the crime was anomalous, minimal resources were allocated to aiding in the investigation. Junior Researcher Alan was assigned to be the liaison between the Foundation and the UIU.

Addendum XXXX-2: Crime Scene Investigation

This is the first crime scene investigated by the UIU regarding this series of murders, and the only one directly investigated by the Foundation.

Date: 4/12/2021
Location: Scene XXXX-3

<Begin log>

Researcher Alan enters the apartment building alongside 3 UIU agents; agents Brown, Montgomery, and Lloyd.
Montgomery: The door shows signs of forced entry. The struggle appears to have occurred throughout the apartment as the perpetrator pursued the victims into the back bedroom.
Alan: Is that where you found the bodies?
Lloyd: Not exactly.
Montgomery: It appears they've been mutilated, dragged, and suspended from the balcony. We've drug them back inside for analysis.
Alan: sighs Did you at least get pictures of the positioning of the bodies?
Montgomery: Yeah. We're not totally incompetent.
At this point, Montgomery leads Alan to the door leading to the terrace. Marks body is already laying on the floor, Brown is still in the process of bringing the other body in. Montgomery exits the room.
Alan: Good lord. It… it appears that the left half of his face has been removed. There is a dip, suggesting that it wasn't a clean-cut but rather a scooping motion. As impressive as that is, are you sure it's anomalous? Couldn't, I don't know, a group of people with some instrument do this?
Brown: Well…
Lloyd: That is a possibility, but it's not at all likely. The way the skull is cut, it seems smooth and partially melted. This wasn't a bunch of guys with a hand saw. All evidence points to one guy, and the cut doesn't match with a saw.
Alan: If I go back to the Foundation right now, there's not a lot to prove this is in any way out of the norm.
At this point, Montgomery enters the room once again.
Montgomery: There's been another killing. Same M.O. Alan, care to join us?
Alan: Sighs Very well.

<End Log>

Note: By the time the UIU team plus Junior Researcher Alan arrived on scene, the suspect had vacated. The crime scene and body were similar to the others. Given the nature of the potential anomaly, and the lack of evidence of any anomalous phenomenon, it was decided to let the UIU handle this case until further notice.

Addendum XXXX-3: Subsequent investigation
On 5/10/2022 a distress call was received from the UIU. A team of agents had been sent to a location that was a possible hideout for the suspect. Command had lost contact with the team, and requested Foundation aid.
