An instance of SCP-XXXX-G

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-XXXX are to be contained in a standard size insect enclosure with a temperate deciduous forest environment. The enclosure for SCP-XXXX must contain mechanical parts from different levels of technology. Plants in the SCP-XXXX are to be replaced weekly, with excess plant litter removed and incinerated. All personnel handling or working with SCP-XXXX must wear Foundation grade insect protection suits. Personnel that have come into direct skin contact with SCP-XXXX must notify the Site Director and enter quarantine.

Description: SCP-XXXX are small insects similar to to the Musca domestica (housefly) The physical make-up of an SCP-XXXX instance is made of a different mechanism, with nine variations recorded.

Designation Variation Description
SCP-XXXX-A Sundial Made of stone, the shadow on its clock is not affected by a light source in any way.
SCP-XXXX-B Pendulum Grandfather clock shaped. The variation swings left and right when flying.
SCP-XXXX-C Digital Uses more modern technology with wires and electricity. The loudest variation, it makes the noise of radio static.
SCP-XXXX-D Wristwatch leather wings and a silver centrepiece.
SCP-XXXX-E Cuckoo Blockier in shape and louder than the others due to it’s cuckoo mechanism.
SCP-XXXX-F Alarm Classic alarm clock shape and rings when flying.
SCP-XXXX-G Mechanical The oldest looking variation, more accurate timekeeping than the others.
SCP-XXXX-H Pocketwatch Silver or gold in colour, roundest shape and cleanest looking.
SCP-XXXX-I Electric Plastic gears and cogs instead of metal.

Each form has the respective time telling device where it's abdomen would be, either on its top or underside. Their bodies are currently under investigation as to whether or not they are alive or merely electricity run. The noise they produce is dependant on the form, SCP-####-F sounding like an alarm clock SCP-####-A having no sound at all. The decibel levels of each one are measured below.

Designation dB level
SCP-XXXX-A 0
SCP-XXXX-B 40
SCP-XXXX-C 80
SCP-XXXX-D 10
SCP-XXXX-E 50
SCP-XXXX-F 60
SCP-XXXX-G 40
SCP-XXXX-H 10
SCP-XXXX-I 20

When an instance of SCP-XXXX comes into contact with an entity, the clock mechanism on its body will begin to increase in speed by 200%. The affected will begin to rapidly age. The speed and severity of this effect depend on the age of the entity and the number of SCP-XXXX instances that are in contact with its body. The more there are the more the body will age, with more instances in contact causing speeding up of the effect. Reports have come in that swarms of SCP-XXXX will reduce a living being to a pile of viscera within minutes of landing on them. The younger they are the more time it will take for them to be destroyed.
