Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

[Note: SCP-XXXX’s containment procedures have been modified twice, each as a result of Incidents XXXX-a and XXXX-b (See Addendum XXXX-03 and Addendum XXXX-04). By the request of Researcher AAAA, all 3 methods of containment are to be given below, which have since been labelled Procedure 01, Procedure Modification 01.5, and Procedure 02 respectively. SCP-XXXX is currently contained by Procedure 02, and all proposed alterations to the specimen’s containment must be approved by Researcher AAAA directly.]

Special Containment Procedures:
Procedure 01: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a humanoid containment cell with 2 armed guards stationed by the exterior of the doorway. The inside of SCP-XXXX’s containment chamber is furnished with a twin sized bed, a table, and two chairs. SCP-XXXX is currently allowed a chess board and a choice of 2 magazines each month. As much is still unknown about SCP-XXXX’s anomaly, Researcher AAAA has designated a member of his team to observe SCP-XXXX through closed circuit cameras to keep an observation log. In addition to this, Researcher AAAA is to conduct a brief interview with SCP-XXXX once every two week period to assess for any development in anomalous effects (See Addendum XXXX-02).
Entry into SCP-XXXX’s containment chamber is allowed with the authorization of Researcher AAAA or a member of his team. All personnel entering are to be escorted by a guard armed with tranquilizing darts. In the event of a containment breach or hostility towards any foundation members, the on-site guards are to immobilize SCP-XXXX by use of C Grade sedatives and return it to it’s cell.

Procedure Modification 01.5: Resultant of the events of Incident XXXX-a, no entry is permitted into SCP-XXXX’s contaiment cell outside of the delivery of food and water. Any guards or personnel entering SCP-XXXX’s chamber are to carry a C Grade sedative and wear reinforced HP4 helmets(FOOTNOTE). Researcher AAAA has requested to continue interviews. To ensure safety, SCP-XXXX is to be restrained during all interviews. SCP-XXXX is restrained with straps and cuffs around the wrists and ankles connecting the specimen to it’s bed. Any attempt to free itself from these restraints should be met with the swift administration of tranquilizers to SCP-XXXX by the guards.

Procedure 2 [current]: Following the events of Incident XXXX-b, SCP-XXXX is to remain immobilized and in an induced comatose state at all times. Food and water will be delivered via IV. If at any moment SCP-XXXX comes to conscious, the on-site guards are to tranquilize it immediately. Failure to re-anesthetize SCP-XXXX is considered grounds for a Containment Breach.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a human female of Irish descent, 17 to 28 years of age. SCP-XXXX’s biology is identical to that of a normal human, and is fundamentally indistinguishable from any other similarly aged human female unless it’s anomaly is witnessed. Initial physical and psychological testing along files taken from SCP-XXXX’s primary care physicians indicate that SCP-XXXX was in good physical health upon its arrival into Foundation custody and had no mental abnormalities.

SCP-XXXX possesses the ability to rearrange its skeletal anatomy, moving its bones around the inside of its body and even removing them. Bones that are moved to unnatural locations never rupture SCP-XXXX’s flesh, which simply stretches or enlarges to accommodate the bone. When SCP-XXXX removes a bone from an area of its body, the flesh and other internal structures held up by the bone will sag in a non-anomalous way, behaving exactly how skin and other organs would react to the loss of a structural component. Despite the loss of structure, none of the specimens internal organs are harmed. SCP-XXXX remains able to move its bones around even when they are outside of its body, and shows so signs of any pain or discomfort while doing any of this.

Addendum XXXX-01: Recovery and Interview Log XXXX-01

+ Show Interview Log

Foreword: SCP-XXXX was recovered from a hospital in █████, Ireland after doctors reported a patient taking out her broken bone, snapping it together, and putting it back into her arm. Mobile Task Force Kappa-3 [“Doctors Without Borders”] sedated and removed SCP-XXXX from the hospital grounds and administered Class-A amnestics to any hospital staff who had witnessed or heard about the incident. While in transport back to Site ██, SCP-XXXX removed all of its bones from its body. The skeleton-less body slid out from under the buckles and restraints, where SCP-XXXX then returned its bones and stood normally. SCP-XXXX then attempted to use its distal phalanx, the small upper bone of its index finger, to pick through the lock at the back of the truck. MTF 16 operatives sedated SCP-XXXX again, delivering SCP-XXXX to Site ██ without further incident.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Researcher AAAA

<Begin Log, 2:38 PM>

Researcher AAAA: Hello, XXXX. My name is Researcher AAAA. I’m going to be asking you a few questions. We do not want to harm you, and for the sake of your own safety, answer honestly. Am I making myself clear?

SCP-XXXX: I- well- no. No you aren’t at all. I’ve already asked you multiple times and nobody is telling me what the hell is going on. Who are you, all of you?

Researcher AAAA: I’m the one asking the questions. Now if you could just-

SCP-XXXX: Please. Last I remember I was in a doctor’s office, and now I’m in a small cell getting questioned by strangers with guns I just- I don’t know anything. I don’t have anything. If you’re looking for something I don’t know where it is, I promise, I-

Researcher AAAA: There is no need to panic. Yes, you were taken from the hospital, in case you’ve forgotten how you removed your bones in front of multiple doctors. I can’t tell you who we are, but I promise we are here to help. We are trying to keep this whole thing under control.

SCP-XXXX: You just kidnapped me. Tell me how on earth that’s keeping me safe.

Researcher AAAA: XXXX, have you told anyone about what you can do with your bones?

SCP-XXXX: No? Of course not.

Researcher AAAA: Why haven’t you told anyone?

SCP-XXXX: Well, it’s not very normal, is it? [PAUSE] Look, I’m scared, ok. What would somebody do if they saw me do that? What kind of things would they do? I don’t want to go to some lab, or… [PAUSE, SCP-XXXX TAKES A DEEP BREATH] I just want to go back to my family.

Researcher AAAA: You’re scared of becoming a guinea pig, so you show off your talents in front of medical professionals? As far as I’m concerned, by removing you from that situation, we just saved your life.

SCP-XXXX: I wasn’t trying to show off, I didn’t know they were looking, I thought the room was empty.

Researcher AAAA: And it wasn’t.

SCP-XXXX: well… thanks then. [LONG PAUSE] Alright, ask me your questions or whatever. Let’s just get this over with so I can go.

Researcher AAAA: Thank you for understanding. I don’t want this experience to be uncomfortable for you. Now if you could describe to me what exactly you can do?

SCP-XXXX: I can draw! I’m an art major. But I’m assuming that’s not what you mean. [SCP-XXXX SIGHS] I can move my bones around- inside of me that is. And outside too, I can do that as well. And before you ask, I have no clue how any of it works. This is all new to me.

Researcher AAAA: This is new to you?

SCP-XXXX: It started like 6 months ago, the movement to the outside. I could always move my bones around, mostly in minor ways when I was younger. They said I was just hypermobile. Eventually I figured out I could completely rearrange them. But removing them from my body was a fairly recent development in the span of things.

Researcher AAAA: So these, let’s call them abilities of yours, have been developing?

SCP-XXXX: Yeah. They have. I never know what’s going to happen, if I’m going to wake up with no skeleton at all one day, or my leg sticking out of my neck.

Researcher AAAA: Is this scary for you, this fear of what could happen? [SCP-XXXX MAKES A NOISE IN AFFIRMATION]. Understandable, but that’s ok. We want to make sure that you’re safe while you’re here.

SCP-XXXX: I still don’t know where here is. Do my parents know why I’m gone? They were about to visit the hospital and I don’t want them to-

Researcher AAAA: Everything is being taken care of. I think that’s enough for today. Thank you for your cooperation.

<End Log, 2:42 PM>

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX was reassured of its family's safety and escorted to its cell. SCP-XXXX seemed confused and unsure still, but was willing to cooperate with the Foundation.

XXXX-02 6-MONTH REPORT + OBSERVATION LOG

Date: 2/17/16

Subject: SCP-XXXX

Purpose: The following log is a report compiled by Senior Researcher AAAA and the research team in charge of surveillance to outline what they deemed to be important or notable observations. The raw data logs and full interview transcripts can be found in Document XXXX-34

Team Lead: Researcher AAAA

---

[2/17/16] SCP-XXXX has requested drawing pad and pencils. Request granted.

[2/17/16] SCP-XXXX has been drawing flowers, humming.

[2/24/16] One week into containment, SCP-XXXX seems calm. Time has been spent drawing sketches in art pad, singing, and reading magazines.

[2/28/16] SCP-XXXX was unable to sleep. Spent the night stretching, moving around the cell.

[3/3/16] Excerpt taken from interview log:

Researcher AAAA: This skill you have to rearrange your skeleton- I’m sure you out of anyone here would understand how much potential it has- what did you use it for?

SCP-XXXX: Small things, I guess. [PAUSE] I could reach places I’m too short to reach by removing my hand bones and reforming them outside of me. The hand trick is actually pretty useful. But yeah, that kinda thing.

Researcher AAAA: Have you ever used your abilities to inflict harm on another being?

SCP-XXXX: Have I used my bones to hurt someone? What- Why would you even- No! No, of course not! Never.

Researcher AAAA: That’s reassuring to hear.

SCP-XXXX: When I get home, I hope you know I don’t plan on hurting anyone. [LONG PAUSE] I am going home, right?

[3/5/16] SCP-XXXX got new magazines. Ripped up the photos and arranged them into some sort of a collage.

[3/6/16] SCP-XXXX removed its ribcage and seemed to use its femur to play it like an instrument.
That is one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever seen. Really unsettling on the eyes. -Researcher BBBB

[3/11/16] Researchers note that SCP-XXXX has been pacing the cell more and more frequently.

[3/15/16] // SCP-XXXX has taken to playing chess. It removes half of its skeleton and has the skeleton sit across the table from it to play against. Once again, not a pleasant sight. -Researcher BBBB//

[3/17/16] Excerpt taken from interview log:

Researcher AAAA: Have you noticed any change in your abilities in the last two weeks?

SCP-XXXX: No.

Researcher AAAA: You seem chipper today.

SCP-XXXX: Ha. [PAUSE] I’m just so ready for this to be done.

[3/8/16] SCP-XXXX was volatile. It spent an hour repeatedly banging on the cell door, screaming the words “It’s been a month, what the hell is going on?” and “Where’s Researcher AAAA?” Upon the entry of a guard to deliver food, SCP-XXXX refused to eat. When the guard questioned it, SCP-XXXX would not respond. SCP-XXXX then cried on and off for the remainder of the day.

[3/11/16] SCP-XXXX requested more paper. Request was granted.
SCP-XXXX still seems upset. The thing wouldn’t even look the guard in the eye when he brought it a new pad of paper. Still pacing, too. - Researcher BBBB

[3/24/16] When Researcher AAAA entered the cell for an interview, SCP-XXXX began weeping. Excerpt from the interview:

Interviewer’s note: SCP-XXXX did not seem angry throughout this exchange, simply sad, defeated.

SCP-XXXX: It’s been well over a month.

Researcher AAAA: Yes it has.

SCP-XXXX: Why haven’t you let me go?

Researcher AAAA: I’m not sure I understand why you’re asking me this. We have-

SCP-XXXX: I thought I was here for a month. I don’t know. That’s how long research studies tend to be, right? You’ve kept me here for fairly long now, and I want to see my family.

Researcher AAAA: I’m afraid that won’t be happening.

SCP-XXXX: What?

Researcher AAAA: I’m sorry, but you won’t be seeing them.

SCP-XXXX: No, that’s not fair. I did my part of this, you have your data, so why-

Researcher AAAA: This isn’t a research study, XXXX, do you remember what I told you? We aren’t studying you. You are here for your own safety. Protection. You said it yourself- you don’t know what the world would do if they found out about what you can do.

SCP-XXXX: If you aren’t studying me than why can’t you at least use my name? [PAUSE} If you aren’t studying me, then where am I?

Researcher AAAA: I’m the one who asks the questions.

SCP-XXXX: Are you going to keep me here forever?

Researcher AAAA: We are not here to hurt you.

SCP-XXXX: [LONG PAUSE] … liar

[3/25/16] SCP-XXXX did not leave its bed.

[3/26/16] SCP-XXXX did not leave its bed.

[3/27/16] SCP-XXXX seems to have calmed down since the interview. It is drawing again.

[4/4/16] SCP-XXXX received two new magazines.

[4/8/16] Excerpt from interview:

Researcher AAAA: I hope things are doing better with you.

SCP-XXXX: I guess. I’m starting to come to terms with it.

Researcher AAAA: Good. [PAUSE] Any developments with your condition?

SCP-XXXX: Nope. It’s only been 2 months.

[4/9/16 - 4/21/16] //Now that we’re used to watching SCP-XXXX, most activites it partakes in are no longer notable. SCP-XXXX spent the two weeks pacing, drawing, playing chess, and asleep. -Researcher CCCC //

[4/22/16] Interview went as planned. SCP-XXXX reports no developments in its condition.

[4/29/16] SCP-XXXX received new magazines.

[5/5/16] Excerpt from interview:

Researcher AAAA: Any developments with your condition.

SCP-XXXX: It’s getting easier to move stuff outside of my body. Doesn’t leave me as tired.

Researcher AAAA: And how recently have you been noticing this.

SCP-XXXX: I think it’s a gradual thing. I noticed after playing chess with myself yesterday that I was much less tired compared to the first time I tried it.

[5/13/16] SCP-XXXX received new magazines

[5/19/16] Interview went as planned. SCP-XXXX reports no new developments in its condition.

[5/21/16] SCP-XXXX stayed in bed all day.

[5/24/16] SCP-XXXX stayed in bed all day.

[5/27/16] SCP-XXXX received new magazines.

[5/31/16] SCP-XXXX stayed in bed all day.

[6/2/16] Excerpt from interview:

SCP-XXXX: My head hurts. The lights in here are too bright.

Researcher AAAA: I’m sorry, it’s containment standard.

[6/10/16] SCP-XXXX received new magazines

[6/14/16] //SCP-XXXX has been pacing a lot more recently. Spending a lot of time sitting in front of the door. -Researcher BBBB //

[6/16/16] Interview went as planned. SCP-XXXX reports no new developments in its condition..

[6/17/16 - 6/23/16] SCP-XXXX stayed in bed for the majority of the days, getting up only for food and to use the restroom.

[6/25/16] SCP-XXXX seemed to be weeping

[6/26/16] SCP-XXXX received new magazines.

[6/30/16] Excerpt from interview:

Interviewer’s note: SCP-XXXX had been informed more about the Foundation in previous interviews. Its vague knowledge of other SCPs is not an information breach.

SCP-XXXX: What do you do to things that are hostile?

Researcher AAAA: Chain them up and lock the door.

SCP-XXXX: No, yeah, but I’m talking out of control.

Researcher AAAA: We try not to kill. It’s policy- and general morality.

SCP-XXXX: But if something was ever so big, so bad, would you have to kill it?

Researcher AAAA: [PAUSE] Well, there are some where we’ve certainly tried.

[7/1/16] SCP-XXXX stared at the door all day

[7/3/16] SCP-XXXX drew the entire day without pause. It has been hiding its sketchbook from the view of all cameras, guards, and personnel.

[7/13/16] SCP-XXXX did not eat.

[7/14/16] Excerpt from interview:

Researcher AAAA: Is something wrong with your food provisions?

SCP-XXXX: The food is fine.

Researcher AAAA: Why haven’t you been eating?

SCP-XXXX: Because I don’t want to.

Researcher AAAA: You have to eat. It isn’t healthy.

SCP-XXXX: Fascinating.

Researcher AAAA: I’m being serious, XXXX, we care about your safety. [SCP-XXXX APPEARS TO LAUGH] If this keeps up, we will bring in an IV.

SCP-XXXX: Then bring in an IV.

Researcher AAAA: I’m giving you two days. Please, eat something.

[7/15/16] SCP-XXXX did not eat.

[7/16/16] SCP-XXXX did not eat.

[7/17/16] Researchers AAAA, BBBB, CCCC, 2 guards, and a team of Site ██ medics enter SCP-XXXX’s containment cell. See Incident Report XXXX-a.

Addendum XXXX-03: Incident Report XXXX-a
Addendum XXXX-04: Incident Report XXXX-b
Addendum XXXX-05: Note from Researcher AAAA

// It is our team’s top priority to figure out a way to wake SCP-XXXX up without risking neutralization. When SCP-XXXX came into our possession, it was content enough to remain in containment. Clearly, this is no longer the case. I am ordering a team of researchers and a Mobile Task Force to collaborate on a plan that can uncover what the Foundation would need to stabilze SCP-XXXX’s mental health. From what I can imagine, we may need to look for details of SCP-XXXX’s life before containment to find something that would convince the specimen to remain in our custody. Scour the internet, search the town, interview anyone with information. We need to be able to wake SCP-XXXX up and not have it kill itself in front of all of us. That would be a failure of us, of the Foundation, and of everything ‘Secure Contain and Protect’ stands for. Whatever it takes, we must get SCP-XXXX back.
Due to the possibility of such a success, all previous containment procedures will be kept on file for future use. I pray that we find a way to return SCP-XXXX to a state where Procedure 01 is sufficient.
Some personnel have asked me why I support the use of so many resources to awaken a volatile specimen that is currently contained. But SCP-XXXX was different. It had a developing anomaly, which is rare. We need to do more research, and we need to figure out what is causing the succession of SCP-XXXX’s condition.
In the end, we had one job. SCP-XXXX arrived to our site afraid but content, obedient. Our Foundation has contained enough humanoids to understand that psychological needs must be met, but we underestimated how much of a danger SCP-XXXX was to itself. And to that, I do take partial responsibility. I should’ve seen the signs in the interviews, the odd questions it would ask me, the shift in mood, and understood that this was a much more serious problem than I admitted. But we gave it everything- toys, books, music, art- what more could we have done? We even had interviews every 2 weeks, far more interaction than most humanoids we contain. SCP-XXXX had everything we could have given it. So do not wake SCP-XXXX without my express orders. We will find what we need so that when SCP-XXXX wakes up, it does not want to die.
The Foundation has contained almost every specimen it has located. I don’t believe- in fact, I refuse to believe- that we do not have what it takes for SCP-XXXX. The Foundation has everything. The Foundation can provide everything. The Foundation will accomplish its goal.
