Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-XXXX entrance is to be guarded by ten (10) armed guards, equipped withlive rounds and napalm based equipment. Any instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are to be safely escorted to Site-█. Alternatively, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be terminated on sight.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a cave located in the coastline of ██████, Greece. The cave entrance is surrounded by a coat of darkness. Entrance to the cave is strictly prohibited to all personnel. Several recording experiments have been conducted, concluding that no modern machinery appears to be working inside the cave. Markings near the entrance citing different works of the ancient philosopher Plato. Radiocarbon dating on these markings revealed the cave was formed approximately 23██ years ago. Security report occasionally noticing the light of a small fire inside the cave.

SCP-XXXX-1 are prisoners of the cave who have broken their chains and escaped. Once free they will immediately rush to the exit. Though, once exposed to sunlight, they will experience an extreme nervous breakdown, due to their lack of knowledge of the real world. They will begin screaming, fall to the ground, and proceed to attack anything resembling a human. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be terminated on sight.

SCP-XXXX-2 are also prisoners that escaped the cave. Contradictory to SCP-XXXX-1's behaviour, once they come in contact with the real world. They will be both shocked and amazed. After they recover from that initial shock, multiple SCP-XXXX-3 will emerge from the cave in order to recapture them. SCP-XXXX-2 must be protected at all costs. Once recovered, they will be transported to Site-██ for interrogation and their own safety. During trasportation SCP-XXXX-2 must not be exposed to the real world, to prevent a nervous breakdown.

SCP-XXXX-3 are assumed to be the guards of the cave. They are humanoid, with pitch-black skin, lack any facial features, and their joints can bend 360o. They also possess the ability to crawl on walls. They appear to be emotionless,with the exception of an innate fear of fire.They will attack any creature that attempts to enter the cave, and prevent any prisoner from leaving the cave without losing their minds.
