Doctor Turner

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must be kept under surveillance at all times by no fewer than two Security Officers. A taped border must be kept in a 15 ft. radius of SCP-XXXX at all times and no personnel shall cross this border unless conducting a field research operation. No Class-C or above personnel shall be allowed within 100 ft. of SCP-XXXX at any time. The containment cell of SCP-XXXX must be kept at a temperature between 21°C to 22°C at all times. SCP-XXXX shall never be left out of sight.

Description: SCP-XXXX takes the form of the painting "The Scream" by Edvard Munch. SCP-XXXX is indistinguishable from the original painting. The exact nature and origin of SCP-XXXX is unknown, although records of SCP-XXXX attacks date back to the 1500's. It is specualted that Edvard Munch's painting "The Scream" is based off of SCP-XXXX.

Although very dangerous, SCP-XXXX is not always lethal. It is calculated that 93% of SCP-XXXX victims are killed. Victims killed by SCP-XXX are killed in many vigorous ways. Survivors of SCP-XXXX attacks are injured either mentally or physically or both. Some survivors are left incapacitated or unresponsive in a coma like state.

If any personnel enters within 15 ft. of SCP-XXXX at any time, the subject will seem to disappear along with the painting. Anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes later, the subject and SCP-XXXX return back to the containment cell. The subject is usually deceased in some horrific manner. Subject's bodies are mutilated in many different ways including, but not limited to, completely skinned bodies, dismembered limbs, and different structures made from subject's body parts. SCP-XXXX is able to attack anywhere from a single subject to a large group of subjects all at one time. The limit of a single attack is yet unknown.

Survivors of SCP-XXXX attacks explain the attack as stated. The object seems to transport subjects into a black void-like area dubbed "The Void"¹ with only the subject and the painting. Within a few seconds, the entity seen in the painting seems to exit from the painting and appear standing next to the painting frame. The entity will then attack the subject. Survivors describe the attack as the entity disappearing and re-appearing around the subject in very fast periods. The entity will forcefully break limbs and in some cases pull them off with brute force. The subject will then see the entity standing over the subject for a few seconds, until the subject and object transport back into the containment cell.

If SCP-XXXX is left out of sight, the object will seem to disappear from the cell. SCP-XXXX will then replace a current replica of "The Scream" painting in a seemingly random museum in any part of the world.

SCP-XXXX Exploration Reports
Event Date	Description of Event
1/19/97	Four Class-D personnel entered the containment cell of SCP-XXXX. Names: █████, ███████, ███, and ██████. Two of the subjects entered within the 15 ft. border around the object. All four subjects were taken into the void. Each of the four subjects and the object returned to the containment cell in 4 minutes and 38 seconds. All subjects were deceased and arranged in a sculpture formation. Subjects were unidentifiable. The scene was described as representing a ping pong game. SCP-XXXX being used as the table. Tendons and muscles from the subjects were tied together and used as the net for the game. The subject's bodies were hollowed out except for their skeletal system which was covered by the subject's intact skin. All subjects were propped upright holding their own feet which were used to represent the paddles. One of the subject's eyeballs was placed on the table which is assumed to be used as the ball. The rest of the eyes were placed off to the side as extras. The destination of the remains of the subjects is unknown.
8/27/99	One Class-D subject entered within the 15 ft. border around SCP-XXXX. Name: █████. The subject was taken into the void. Approximately 2 minutes and 40 seconds after the subject entered within the border, the subject and object returned to the containment cell. █████ was deceased but identifiable. The body was in an upright position. Each of the subject's limbs were forcibly removed by brute force. Researchers speculate that the entity had pulled them off with it's own hands, as bruised hand marks were found on the subject's arms and legs. Each of the limbs was then sewn back on using the subject's own hair pulled from the scalp of the body. The arms were sewn in the place of the legs, and the legs were sewn in the place of the arms.
4/13/13	Three Class-D personnel entered within the 15 ft. border around SCP-XXXX. Names: █████, ███████, and ████. Upon entering the border, SCP-XXXX did not immediately take subjects into the void as per usual. Instead, SCP-XXXX waited 37 seconds until taking subjects into the void. After 3 minutes and 20 seconds, all three subjects and the object returned back to the containment cell. The scene was described as an active surgery operation. Two of the three subjects were deceased. The survivor of the attack was laying on SCP-XXXX which was being used as what is assumed to be the operating table. The surviving victim had both legs pulled off by brute force. Bleeding was being slowed down by a substance made mostly of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. The two deceased victims were standing over the surviving victim, both with one arm missing. The deceased victims were said to be holding sharp knives made from human bone. DNA tests find that the bones match DNA from the deceased victims. The surviving victim was airlifted to ██████ Hospital in ██████, United States where he was interviewed.

Agent Reed: Good evening █████. I am Agent Reed Greene, this is my partner Agent ███████, █████. How are you feeling today?

Subject: I feel okay. Scared…

Agent Reed: Do you recall the SCP-XXXX attack?

Subject: I see it every day, every night. I see it everywhere.

Agent Reed: What do you see?

Subject: I… I see him, I see that… thing.

Agent Reed: Do you remember the events the occurred during the attack?

Subject: (remains silent)

Agent Reed: Are there any details you can give us?

Subject: I entered into the containment cell… I heard voices², before I was even near the object. They were telling me to stay away. I was instructed to enter withing the border. It was scared, and it knew that. It kept telling me to stay away. I got into the border and it took me. I felt really tired when I was in the void… I was so sedated, like I had just woken up from a coma.

Agent ███████: Could you move?

Subject: Yes, but barely.

Agent Reed: Could you explain what happened next?

Subject: He looked at me. Then he disappeared. I heard my other two partners screaming in pain. Then it stopped, I assume that's when they were killed. Then he was in front of me. He hit me… hard… Then I felt a great pain but not for long. He ripped on my legs. Before we went back, he was looking at me. I heard voices again, like he was inside my head. He said he did the same to me as they did to him.

Agent Reed: Did it say who "they" were?

Subject: He didn't, the voice sounded angry though.

Agent Reed: What did it feel like when he brought you back?

Subject: Right after I heard the voices, I was instantly back into the containment cell, it was like there was no transition. I remember looking around and seeing both of my partners… dead. They were mutilated.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was initially discovered when a family of four was abducted by the object in the ████████████ Art Museum in ███████████, United States. Bystanders describe the family and the painting randomly disappearing. The bystanders waited around trying to figure out what exactly happened. Spectators then say, approximately 3 minutes later, subjects and the object all returned back to the museum. All family members were deceased and brutally mutilated. The scene was described as a family dinner scene. The heads of each family member were removed via brute force. Chairs were made from human bones and tendons. The legs of the table were also made from bones and tendons. SCP-XXXX was used as the tabletop. The heads of each family member was placed on their own respective chair that was made from their remains. Each of the subjects brains were also placed in front of them on the tabletop.

Eight Class-D personnel were deployed to the scene to clean up and transport SCP-XXXX to it's containment cell. Personnel used modified forklifts to stay outside the 15 ft. radius. SCP-XXXX is currently being held at Site-██ in ██████, United States.

Footnotes

1. Research of The Void is still ongoing and researchers know very little about it at this time. Subjects recall seeing nothing in this area, no doors and no objects inside.

2. SCP-XXXX is believed to have telepathic anomalous abilities. This is unconfirmed, although a few attack survivors have stated that they heard voices before being attacked. Field research operations have been sceduled to test this effect.
