Queen Izz

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

An unchecked seeding phase

Special Containment Procedures:

A property that is found to contain an instance of SCP-#### is to be immediately purchased through the normal channels. If the current owners do not allow the Foundation to acquire the land by legitimate means, then they are to be administered Class B amnestics and subsequently re-identified.

Any outside area is to be immediately fenced off, with special attention paid to flat spaces of dirt or grass. A level 3 agent that is at least forty (40) years of age is to be assigned to the property and must remain within it at all times to perform maintenance. Their duties include the immediate destruction of instances of SCP-####-1, preventing any incursion of children during a seeding event, and routine testing.

Description:

SCP-#### is a biological phenomenon that imitates an infestation of Lentodon Taraxacum. While the entity appears to be a scattering of separate flowers, a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scan reveals a singular mass below the surface that resembles a mycelium in appearance.

SCP-#### was first discovered in the wake of a tragedy

While SCP-#### remains dormant for most of the year, it begins to hunt in the spring. This process is referred to as “flowering”. The entity begins to grow above-ground extensions of itself, designated as SCP-####-1. ((NOTE: I am not sure if that is the correct way to use that kind of designation, could someone confirm?)) These have tendrils of red or green that are surrounded by leaf-like protrusions and terminate in a bright yellow perianth. The fragile tendrils, once broken, secrete a milky liquid with no known anomalous properties. These extremities cannot be prevented from emerging through the ground by any physical obstruction but once surfaced are reasonably easy to remove and destroy. If left to bloom, these ”flowers” will quickly go to seed en masse. It is important to note that no fertilization is performed and that what appears to be the seeds of SCP-####-1 have never been observed to germinate

Once the “seeding” process has begun, the extremities of SCP-#### have been observed to become irresistibly enticing to humanoids under the age of twelve (12) while maintaining a mild attraction to humanoids up to the age of twenty (20). Once they have been lured in by the “seeding” process the entity consumes its prey by ripping apart the ground under their feet. The victim is then slowly digested under the earth as SCP-#### begins its next flowering.

Do they really read these things?

This was supposed to be easy. A cushy assignment in the heart of █████'s suburbia. All you have to do is pull weeds. Three weeks later I sit to write this with aching back and blistered hands. I find myself counting the days until my promised reassignment.

I've heard rumors that the Foundation has acquired a kitten that can liquefy bones. Maybe I can take care of that. At least it would be interesting.

I have completed and logged experiment 81-J as scheduled. Results were, as always, inconclusive.

It's just dandelions, dammit.

I have tools to remove the weeds, but I have taken to using my hands. There is some kind of raw satisfaction in pulling them up, though I can never seem to get to the roots. I type this with dirt under my fingernails.

It gets lonely. The house is obviously meant for a family. I'm only using two rooms.

I hate kids, always getting on the grass. I don't know how they get past the fencing without me being alerted, but today I found one climbing the tree. Said he was getting a frisbee.

There was no frisbee. Maybe the kids are just curious. I'd be curious. Dammit, I am curious. If someone is reading this after all, could I at least be told what the anomaly is? Is it the yard, the weeds, the house? I've been testing everything in sight, blindly following orders that make little logical sense.

You could make me forget. I know you've probably done it before. I just want to know that what I'm doing isn't pointless.

My blisters are healing.

Addendum:

The rumors have been verified. It’s spreading as it eats. Thirty-two (32) separate instances have been identified in the continental US alone. Stricter Containment procedures and possible reclassification pending.
