Initial containment and testing procedures of SCP-XXXX

Description:
The following text is how the SCP was acquired.

On ██/██/2016, D-Class 373270, alias Murdoch, informed two night shift guards of the the anomaly who was closely behind him. After a breach in containment facility was issued, both Murdoch and the anomaly were contained in a holding cell with a one way glass mirror where personnel can look in but Murdoch and the anomaly could not see out. Dr. Read, an experienced researcher, begun his documentation, research, and early containment procedures of SCP-XXXX.

Interviewed: D-Class 373270, Alias Murdoch

Interviewer: Dr. Read

Foreword: Dr. Read interviews Murdoch about the possible origin of the SCP

<Begin Log>
Dr. Read: Hello Murdoch, I hope you aren't to upset at protocol for putting you
through all of those procedures.
Murdoch: Think nothing of it doc. If anything it was almost kinda fun.
Dr. Read: That's good to here. I, along with the rest of staff, want to know how
you have come to acquire such a unique SCP. We have no video evidence of it
entering your room, we have nothing to show that it had existed until after you left
your room to show it to personnel. How did you acquire, or more so, meet such an
entity?
Murdoch: I woke up and he was on top of me.
Dr. Read: Is that it?
Murdoch: Yeah, mostly. I was sleeping then around midnight I woke up and
looked into his glowing eyes. He was kinda spooky at first but now being with him I
know that he's a sweetheart.
Dr. Read: Thank you. I noticed that you keep referring to the entity with male
pronouns, why is this the case?
Murdoch: I thought ya'll knew with your fancy technology. This is Matthew
Roderick. One of my early victims.
It was silent for a few moments, Dr. Read could be heard shuffling papers.
Dr. Read: Oh, yes, you're The Yellowstone, the tour guide turned serial killer that
was sensationalized all those months ago.
Murdoch: I am not The Yellowstone, I am Murdoch. Like how all of my victims
had names. Like how they all had something of value. I value my name.
Dr. Read: Oh, I'm sorry, Murdoch, I didn't know this was such a sensitive subject.
I would have avoided mentioning the name.
Murdoch: No worries doc. Just please, let this man live with me in peace. I
dunno if its a sleep paralysis demon taken form, karma taking its toll, or a bad omen
or whatever, I want him to live peacefully. He at least deserves that after all that I put
him though.
Dr. Read: You regret your past actions?
Murdoch: No. I don't have any regrets. Its just, after being made a D-Class and
being put through Hell from 'field research analysis' it seems as if none of you dumb
fucks knows what going on in the world… It's just, I don't want Matt to be put through
Hell a second time. That's all.
Dr. Read: Please, Murdoch, tell me everything. This entity could very well be
your suppressed regrets taking form, or your lack of regrets. This is a very unusual
anomaly, it has made no advances on anyone and it only seems to be interested in you.
So please, tell me everything."
Murdoch: Only if you give me a playmate. Preferably female, aged between 19
and 25.
Dr. Read: No, I'm afraid I can't provide you with such an unreasonable demand.
Murdoch: Then we're done here. Leave me be.
For five minutes Dr. Read tries to convince Murdoch to talk to him, all to no avail.
Murdoch eventually lays down on the ground in the cell and sleeps.

Murdoch moves the chair over and lays down on the ground, Dr. Read is heard trying
to convince him to no effect. After Dr. Read leaves, the lights in the cell go out and
the night vision on the camera is turned on. For three minutes and twelve seconds the
SCP looks down on Murdoch who sleeps on his back. The SCP then kneels down on
the floor and presses its hands against Murdoch's shoulders, to which he shows no
signs of awareness of the actions. Murdoch sleeps through the SCP climbing on top of
him. Afterwards his face is illuminated by the SCP's glowing eyes. Murdoch awakens,
puts a hand on the SCP, throws it off of him, and turns on his side. The SCP gets up,
looks down on Murdoch, and stands motionless for the remaining six hours Murdoch
is asleep.

Description:
During an early test, Murdoch is removed from his holding cell and the doors behind close to
observe what the SCP would do.
Video Transcript Begins
Murdoch: Finally, I'm free.
Security Guard 1: Get a move on, we don't want this thing near ya any more.
Murdoch: Yeah, yeah.
Murdoch is escorted out of the holding cell by a guard who closes the door behind
them. The SCP stares through the door until Murdoch is approximately three meters
from the door, then the SCP teleports directly behind Murdoch.
Security Guard 2: What the hell?
The SCP's head rotates 160 degrees, staring directly at the guard who
screams at it. At this point the SCP jumps two meters on top of the Guard and
[redacted].
Security Guard 3: It got Gonzo, open fire!
The four remaining security guards open fire at the SCP who shows no
signs of damages. Dr. Read opens the door to the containment cell and yells at the
security to cease fire. At this point the SCP looks up at Dr. Read and stares at him for
five seconds in complete silence. Dr. Read assess the situation and leaves the
containment cell. It is shown through subtle head movement that the SCP tracks Dr.
Read even when he it out of sight. Outside of the containment cell, Dr. Read is in a
hallway and throws up in a trashcan. The hallway security footage shows him shaking
and crying. Inside the containment cell, the SCP transforms into SCP-[data
expunged], killing four.

Interviewed: D-Class 373270, Alias Murdoch

Interviewer: Dr. Bishop

Foreword: Interview between Dr. Bishop and Murdoch on the abilities of the >SCP.

<Begin Log>
Dr. Bishop: Hello there, D-Class 373270, alias Murdoch.
Murdoch: Don't need to be so formal lady, just say 'hey hows it going dude?'
Dr. Bishop: No. Because of ignorance on the state of the SCP, men have died,
good men have died. I am a stand-in researcher until we can find one of suitable for
your… special case.
Murdoch: What the hell is so special about Matt?
Dr. Bishop: The SCP transformed into another SCP, we had to do a full routine
check and make certain that nothing happened in the other facility. I want to make
it clear before we begin with research. This thing. Is dangerous. Its abilities
completely unknown and its origins even more so. We are going to find out what
makes it tick and make certain that it is properly contained. With or without you.
Murdoch: I see. So, when do I get breakfast? I'm starving.
Dr. Bishop: That is not my decision. Not only that, but your hungry even after
seeing what the SCP did to those men?
Murdoch: I don't care, really. I'm just hungry, alright lady? I want pancakes.
And bacon. Ooh, and sunny side eggs. With syrup.
Dr. Bishop: I'll see what I can do but-
Murdoch: And hash-browns! I love hash-browns.
Dr. Bishop: Were done here. Talking to you is no use.
Murdoch: No shit Sherlock, I know as much as you do about this fucking thing.
Now, when can I get my pancakes?

Tests Logs of SCP-XXXX:

Test 1 - ██/██/2016

Subject:
Teleportation limitations of SCP-XXXX
Procedure:
Multiple tests were conducted to value the maximum and minimum distance required
for teleportation. They were done by keeping the SCP locked in place and moving the
D-Class to multiple locations. These tests include, but not limited to, walking,
running, being driven by another D-Class personnel, using an elevator, and even
swimming.
Results:
Regardless of distance, height, and even submersion, the SCP would teleport to its
host when there is a barrier between them. The SCP needs a minimum of three
meters to teleport, but will choose to walk or run if given the option.
Analysis:
The SCP is an illusive and adaptive entity, it will choose any multitude of options and
carry forward in order to fulfill its wants and desires of being within reach of its host,
D-Class 373270.

Test 2 - ██/██/2016

Subject:
Teleportation requirements of SCP-XXXX
Procedure:
The host D-Class and the SCP would be placed two meters from each other with the
host D-Class inside a small, temporary containment cell where the only route to take
was by means of going through the wall. Each wall was made of different material.
The SCP would either be released or the SCP would be moved an additional meter
from the host. The different materials between them include, brick, stone, metal
sheets, concrete, and at one point an above ground swimming pool.
Results:
Regardless the material used, the SCP would almost always teleport to the host after
three meters distance was reached. If the host and entity were less than three meters
apart then the SCP would simply wait until the test was concluded with each material.
If there was a opening small enough for it to fit through, a 60 cm cubed hole, then the
entity would almost always climb through it at a ratio 2:3.
After testing was concluded, D-Class 373270 asked if we could test the distance with
a swimming pool to see how it would react. After consideration, the following day
researchers brought in a metal frame above ground swimming pool which was one
meter high, five meters long, and two meters wide. After filling it with water and
proceeding with the test, the SCP was let loose, climbed on the plastic pools outer
shell, fell into the water, swam doggy paddle; ie swam hands and feet underneath its
body in a trotting manner, climbed over the other side, and fell onto the ground on its
rear. At this point, D-Class 373270 laughed hysterically and the entity teleported.
Analysis:
Although the entity is a human cadaver, it can be seen as robotic in nature. The entity
has a definitive rules of function it abides by, it is just a matter of finding them.
Addendum:
After the entity teleported from the above ground swimming pool incident, we issued
a base wide lock down and subsequent search mission for the entity. After six nights,
the entity returned on the seventh and we continued with procedures.
-Dr. Bishop

Test 3 - ██/██/2016

Subject:
Distance required for teleportation of SCP-XXXX
Procedure:
The host D-Class would be placed on an moving platform whose speed would be
controlled by research personnel and is to be seen how long, in both distance and
time, it takes for the entity to teleport to host and
Results:
After the threshold of three meters was meet and the host was not moving above 30
KP/H, the SCP would always teleport to its host. If the host was moving above 30
KP/H, then the entity would transform, become hostile, and chase the victim
through means other than teleportation. Once a minimum distance of one meter can be
maintained, the entity transforms back to its docile state.
Analysis:
Although harmless, this testing procedure and outcome was equally dangerous as
informative. Essentially, the SCP can willingly transform, but only when certain
requirements are met. Requires further testing
Addendum:
All further testing is hereby banned from the 05 Council due to Incident XXXX-2

Test 4 - ██/██/2016

Subject:
Positive emotion exhibited near SCP-XXXX
Procedure:
D-Class test subjects were to exhibit positive emotion by means of emitting high
levels of dopamine. The D-Class were allotted one hour of their favorite actives such > as listening to music, lifting weights, and even drug use.
Results:
The entity would not react to the test subjects.
If the host D-Class 373270 were to exhibit positive emotions then the SCP would
teleport away for one week.
Note: this was not done through testing but by observation.
Analysis:
It was noted by several foundation members on multiple occasions that the SCP reacts
to emotional instability so further testing was done. The positive emotion testing had
proved fruitless. The SCP did not react in any way to the positive emotional output of
the other test subjects. Further testing required.
Addendum:
All further testing is hereby banned from the 05 Council due to Incident XXXX-2

Test 5 - ██/██/2016

Subject:
Negative emotions exhibited near SCP-XXXX
Note: Negative emotions, as defined by psychologist Robert Plutchik, include rage,
grief, loathing, and terror
Procedure:
Test subjects were to show fear, anger, or sadness. These test originally supposed to be
done twice, once with both the D-Class and the SCP in the same room and again in
separate rooms.
Results:
SCP-XXXX becomes hostile and consumes all SCP-XXXX-3.
Analysis:
It is due to a lack of knowledge of the capabilities of the SCP that a containment
breach occurred on XX/XX/2016, further reading in Incident XXXX-2.
Addendum:
All further testing is hereby banned from the 05 Council due to Incident XXXX-2
