Artist's interpretation of an incidence of SCP-XXXX-2
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Incidents related to SCP-XXXX are to be handled by a rotating squad of agents from MTF Mu-13, currently based out of ██████, in Eastern Tennessee. This squad is to be equipped and trained in the administration of type A amnestics. Individual agents are to be stationed in the vicinity of at-risk targets and are to be instructed to contact MTF Mu-13 upon the appearance of SCP-XXXX-3. MTF Mu-13 has been given access to the FBI's Terrorist Screening Database in order to identify at-risk targets.
Upon the manifestation of SCP-XXXX-3, Procedure 046-Hague is to be immediately initiated. See addendum XXXX-01. Upon a successful implementation of Procedure 046-Hague, SCP-XXXX-3 should cease and SCP-XXXX should not appear. At this point, MTF Mu-13 shall administer class A amnestics across a 3km radius.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a series of free-roaming, corporeal, selectively aggressive Level 5 Humanoid Apparitions. Appearances of SCP-XXXX always consists of one instance of SCP-XXXX-1, twelve instances of SCP-XXXX-2, and a sound of unknown origin labeled SCP-XXXX-3. SCP-XXXX-3 can be heard at a gradually increasing volume for a period of between approximately 45 23 minutes and 1 hour and 14 minutes before the appearances of SCP-XXXX-1 and -2.
SCP-XXXX-1 is an apparition resembling an African-American officer of the United States Army, dressed in the uniform of the American Civil War period. Witness reports to SCP-XXXX-1 give a consistent appearance. Notable recurring features of SCP-XXXX-1 include a prominent scar over its right eye, a close cropped beard, the possession of a saber with a dull grey hilt, and the apparent ownership of a black horse. It is unknown if SCP-XXXX-1 can dismount from this horse. SCP-XXXX-1 has not been successfully identified with any officers from the American Civil War period.
SCP-XXXX-2 is a series of 12 apparitions resembling enlisted soldiers of the United States Army, dressed in the uniform of the American Civil War Period. Witness reports of SCP-XXXX-2 give them inconsistent appearances, though incidences tend to appear to be of African-American descent at a rate of approximately 83%.
SCP-XXXX-3 is a sound resembling a drumroll on a snare drum. The source of SCP-XXXX-3 is unknown. No instances of SCP-XXXX-1 or -2 have been reported as carrying or playing a musical instrument of any kind. SCP-XXXX-3 will continue until the completion of SCP-XXXX's mission, upon which point it will stop abruptly, or until the successful completion of Procedure 087-Hague, upon which point it will fade out gradually.
The apparent goal of all instances of SCP-XXXX is the killing of individuals working towards the ideology of racial supremacy. Exceptions have been documented, see Incident XXXX-861.
After SCP-XXXX has successfully executed its target, it may leave an instance of a black residue identified as SCP-XXXX-4. The makeup of this residue has not been determined, but it contains non-insignificant amounts of sulfur and potassium nitrate. Instances of SCP-XXXX-4 do not contain original writings, but are always excerpts from other works. Exceptions have been documented, see Incident XXXX-868.
To date, attempts to fully contain SCP-XXXX have proven ineffectual, although procedure 087-Hague has led to a drop in fatalities attributed to SCP-XXXX. All aspects of SCP-XXXX seem to be impervious to physical damage. Hostile action towards SCP-XXXX do not prompt a hostile reaction from SCP-XXXX. No known connections between any dead members of the United States army and SCP-XXXX have been discovered. Incidences of SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 are so far unable to be recorded on camera. Incidences of SCP-XXXX-3 do not appear on any attempted sound recordings.
SCP-XXXX only appears in areas that saw conflict during the American civil war. States that saw more conflict during the war are subject to more incidents involving SCP-XXXX, with the two states subject to the most reported incidents being Virginia and Tennessee. The first reputable incidence of SCP-XXXX dates to December of 1915, although unconfirmed reports date to the late 1860s.
Procedure 046-Hague: Upon the initiation of Procedure 046-Hague, the member of MTF Mu-13 stationed near SCP-XXXX's chosen target will radio for backup and inform the target of their presence. They will relay to SCP-XXXX's chosen target that their safety depends on being taken into custody. If the suspect is incompliant, after 30 minutes [15 minutes, see Incident XXXX-868], MTF Mu-13 will attempt sedation and detention of the target. Successful detention of the target marks the completion of Procedure 086-Hague. Upon the appearance of SCP-XXXX-1 or -2, the incidence of Procedure 046-Hague will be aborted and deemed a failure.

Notes: First incidence of SCP-XXXX targeting someone without any notably explicit racist ideologies.
Incident XXXX-868
Date: ██/██/20██
Location: █████████, Tennessee
Target: P. Newton, 64. Newton was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and on a terrorism watchlist.
Results: Newton was shot in the head by an incidence of SCP-XXXX-2 while negotiating with Foundation personnel during implementation of Procedure 046-Hague.
Incidence of SCP-XXXX-4: An incidence of SCP-XXXX-4 was discovered on the floor of Newton's home. No incidences of SCP-XXXX-1 or -2 were observed near the area at any time. The incidence read, "we know what you are doing. do not attempt to stop our judgement." It does not appear to be an excerpt from any known work.
Notes: This may be the first incidence of SCP-XXXX addressing the Foundation and their intervention. Further study required.
