SCP-XXXX While Active

Object #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of its anomaly, SCP-XXXX cannot be contained in a specific space or sector in site █, though it seems unable or unwilling to leave the site. When captured while active, SCP-XXXX should be taken to an available interview room, cuffed and, if personnel are not busy elsewhere, should be kept awake as long as possible until Dr. ███ or an approved staff member can come and interview it as needed. Small doses of ████, conversation or other methods that do not violate containment protocol ██ are advisable for this purpose.
When SCP-XXXX is terminated or falls asleep, date and time of manifestation and death should be noted as closely as possible. SCP-XXXX’s ramblings immideatly before death should be recorded for analysis, when possible.
Since it often manifests during chaotic or dangerous situations, personnel are advised to disregard SCP-XXXX until more pressing matters are dealt with, unless it is getting in the way of emergency duties. It is not particularly difficult to restrain.
SCP-XXXX remains a security risk, since it wanders the building and has a habit of getting into places it shouldn’t be. If found in position of classified information, Foundation access cards, keys or █████, they should be confiscated. If it is found in sectors █, █ or █ and refuses to leave, it is to be terminated.
After incident XXXX-a, staff are advised to avoid physical contact with SCP-XXXX while it is dying to avoid ██. After incident XXXX-c, D-class personnel with a history of [Data Expunged] should not be left to keep SCP-XXXX awake.
Research on keeping SCP-XXXX from disappearing is ongoing and Dr. ███ has also put forth a proposal to [Data Expunged] in order to converse with it in its pre-death state. After SCP-XXXX heard about this, it has started avoiding Dr. ███ whenever possible.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a humanoid male of caucasion descent. It always appears wearing a nondescript blue uniform shirt with an illegible company patch on the shoulder and name tag always pinned to the right side. SCP-XXXX usually has several varying items with it upon manifestation, including a mop and old fashioned bucket, rags and, once, a hunting knife.
The most common cause of an SCP-XXXX manifestations appears to be when one (1) pint of human blood being spilled on the floor or walls somewhere within site █. When this happens, there is a roughly 74% chance that SCP-XXXX will materialize close to the spill and attempt to clean it up. Once this is done, it will move on and find something else to clean within walking distance. Once it has manifested, it has not shown any anomalous movement abilities. It will sometimes collect other items it needs for its work from around the building and often engage staff in conversation. It is quite cooperative with attempts to study it, submitting to multiple examinations and willingly participating in several experiments, but has given very little insight into its nature.
Those who have talked with SCP-XXXX in a non-interview setting describe it as polite and nonchalant, but confused, as though it is lost or has forgotten something. It is largely unconcerned by its situation and the things it has seen in foundation custody. Its justification for cleaning is almost always along the lines of ‘I’m a janitor. I think it’s what I’m supposed to do.” Further questioning causes it minor distress, since it cannot come up with a better explanation either for Foundation personnel or itself.
SCP-XXXX has been seen to be killed by both other SCPs and Foundation staff on multiple occasions, but will always turn up again, given another suitable event, after no more than 5 days of inactivity. When it is killed, the body quickly turns to ash and crumbles. Samples of said ash have no unusual qualities, though there have been no traces of human bone or tissue found. When SCP-XXXX falls asleep for more than three (3) minutes at a time, it and anything it manifested with will simply disappear, leaving no ash.
SCP-XXXX has an unusually high body temperature, just below the threshold of heatstroke, though it doesn’t appear to suffer any negative side effects from this. The high temperature can spike hugely right before its death depending on its state of distress at the time. Its physical capabilities are consistent with a healthy man of 25-30 years of age, though it sometimes limps when there is a sudden weather change on the way outside the facility. It does require food and water and is grateful when they are provided.
Psychological evaluations have been inconclusive as to SCP-XXXX’s mental state. It has relatively severe memory problems relating to anything prior to appearing at Site █ on 11/3/20█. It is aware of the world in general terms, familiar with well known events, activities etc. but any details about itself or past personal experiences are rare and hazy.
It maintains most memory and knowledge gained while active around the site, as demonstrated by its caution of certain other SCPs that have killed it and recognizing staff members it has seen before, though some memories are altered and no matter what evidence it is presented with, it will not believe certain events occurred.
A concerning side note: after █ known relatively short manifestations, SCP-XXXX has an unnaturally good internal map of Site █ and has been found giving directions to personnel who are new to Site █.
In recent months, SCP-XXXX has been observed to be more agitated and confused than usual, becoming aggressive with staff to the point of shaking them and often seeming panicked, though when questioned it is unable to say what is wrong. Several recent deaths have included frightened, disjointed warnings to any humanoids nearby. Staff have noticed that during these interactions, SCP-XXXX seems more focused, being clear on its surroundings and what the Foundation is, though it has expressed little interest in its circumstances for most of the time it is active.

Notes:
1. █ ███ has expressed doubt that SCP-XXXX has no control over its manifestations after incident XXXX-█ where █ ███ shot it in the face to “see what would happen” and SCP-XXXX responded by spawning behind █ ███ two weeks later and dumping a bucket of gore and dirty mop water on his head. Testing showed the organic material was human. SCP-XXXX claims it doesn’t know where the bucket’s contents came from or why it appeared in a place where there was no blood.
2. On 2/3/20█, SCP-XXXX materialized in Dr. ████ 's office when there was no blood present and proceeded to sort food garbage out of Dr. ████' s recycling bin into a bag, which it left by the door with a rude note.
3. When asked if it had ever had a name during an interview, SCP-XXXX checked its own (illegible) name tag and then said it wasn’t sure.
4. DNA testing has proven inconclusive in most regards, but has confirmed that SCP-XXXX is genetically human.
