Item #: 5286
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-5286 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell furnished with all required amenities. SCP-5286 is to attend regular mandatory psychological evaluations and therapy sessions to assist in coping with its condition.
Once per day, a security team is to sweep SCP-5286's containment cell and secure all newly-emerged instances of SCP-5286-1. All instances of SCP-5286-1 gathered are to be euthanized via non-chemical means, preferably via breaking the neck, and transported to Site-17's humanoid SCP meal preparation station. Excess instances of SCP-5286-1 not utilised in meal preparation are to be incinerated.
Due to SCP-5286's unique dietary requirements, a dietitian has been assigned to prepare meals for SCP-5286. All additional matter used in the preparation of these meals such as vegetables, fruits, grains etc. should be mashed, desiccated, or otherwise reduced to allow SCP-5286 to pass them without issue. SCP-5286 is permitted to request meals which may be prepared at the dietitian's discretion.
Note: As of 11/02/20██, no food prepared for SCP-5286 is to contain any additives that would be considered 'spicy'.
Description:
Cysts growing on SCP-5286's arm.
SCP-5286 is a Caucasian male 32 years of age, identified as B███████ A█████, a construction worker from Branbury, England. A█████ was reported missing on 03/12/20██ when they failed to return home after travelling across Europe on an extended vacation. SCP-5286's anomalous properties manifest in the form of cysts that appear on its body in random locations, which quickly grow in size over the course of 2-5 days before rupturing. These cysts are filled with a violet-red substance determined to be a mixture of SCP-5286's blood, amniotic fluid, pus, and an alcoholic liquid determined to be red wine. When a cyst ruptures, a single instance of SCP-5286-1 will be produced from inside.
SCP-5286-1 instances are miniature humanoids which are identical to SCP-5286 both physically and genetically, and potentially share memories with SCP-5286. These clones grow to a maximum of 30 cm in height, and are fully capable of walking, speaking and conversing after they separate from SCP-5286. SCP-5286-1 instances do not seem to require any form of sustenance or hydration, but will actively consume any alcohol provided to them in large quantities. SCP-5286 does not experience any loss in body mass from producing these instances.
Instances of SCP-5286-1 are invariably jovial and energetic, often singing and dancing, and will actively engage with SCP-5286. SCP-5286-1 instances will take any action that would increase the probability of being willingly consumed by SCP-5286. These include verbal manipulation, disguising themselves within other food or drink, and occasionally self-mutilating, flaying and potentially cooking themselves in various ways in an attempt to make themselves appear more appetising. SCP-5286-1 instances remain cheerful throughout the entire process, commonly commenting on how good they taste. SCP-5286-1 refuse to force feed themselves to SCP-5286, and have not been observed performing any action that would cause physical harm to SCP-5286. Any matter consumed by SCP-5286, other than SCP-5286-1, will pass through its digestive system unaffected and will not provide any sustenance to SCP-5286. As such, SCP-5286 must consume instances of SCP-5286-1 to survive.
No discomfort has been reported by SCP-5286 at the growth of SCP-5286-1 or the rupturing of the cysts, but it expresses apprehension at consuming any instance of SCP-5286-1, and shows strong animosity towards the clones themselves. Rupturing the cysts prematurely causes SCP-5286 great pain and results in the expiration of the SCP-5286-1 instance growing inside. The expired instance will remain attached to SCP-5286's body, requiring surgery to remove.
Addendum-5286-A: Recovery Log
SCP-5286 was recovered on 12/05/20██ from a remote cabin located in ██████ Forest, Greece after local reports of 'nymphs' were intercepted by the Foundation. A team of three agents was dispatched to investigate the claims and locate any potential anomalous activity.
RECOVERY LOG: SCP-5286
12/05/20██
Recovery Team: Commander R████, Agent G██████, Agent A███
[BEGIN LOG]
18:32:00: The team finishes preparation of their equipment and begin hiking into the forest in the direction of the estimated epicentre.
19:12:13: Faint music is heard coming from deeper into the forest. The team begins advancing in the rough direction of the music.
19:25:07: The team reports a strong smell of cooking and alcohol. The music becomes much louder and clearer, comprised of multiple instruments such as drums and flutes, and a large number of voices can be heard singing the song "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi.
19:29:42: The team arrive at a clearing with a small cabin located in its centre. Several lit pyres can be seen surrounding the cabin along with piles of charred bones. As the team observe the cabin, several small, nude humanoids exit carrying a corpse of a similar entity. They throw the corpse onto one of the pyres before heading back inside.
19:31:20: The team slowly approach the cabin. The singing has changed to a rendition of the song "We Are the Champions" by Queen.
19:33:09: The team take up positions on at the east wall of the cabin. Agent G██████ moves to a window located on the south wall, attempting to gain visual into the cabin. Hundreds of SCP-5286-1 instances are seen inside drinking, dancing, and singing around a number of fire pits and several barrels of an unidentified liquid.
19:34:30: One of the entities notices Agent G██████ and calls out to him while waving. A number of the SCP-5286-1 instances turn to look at the agent as they begin to move towards the window.
19:34:52: The team retreats slowly from the window as a small group of SCP-5286-1 instances exit the building and begin moving towards the team. Agent A███ opens fire on the entities, terminating a number of them.
19:36:23: Hundreds of SCP-5286-1 instances pour out from the cabin and begin advancing on the team. The team retreats towards the tree line while firing their weapons into the swarm.
19:41:21: Agent G██████ trips over a pile of bones and is overwhelmed by SCP-5286-1 instances. They begin ripping off Agent G██████'s armour and chunks of flesh, consuming them while continuing to cheer. The remaining two team members continue retreating as hundreds of SCP-5286-1 instances pursue them.
20:01:08: The remaining agents gain the upper hand, pushing back against the SCP-5286-1 instances as the swarm's numbers are reduced.
20:13:54: The majority of SCP-5286-1 instances have been terminated. The team begins to move back towards the cabin, terminating any further instances encountered.
20:17:32: The team identifies Agent G██████'s body, which has been mutilated extensively; several instances of SCP-5286-1 are still present, consuming the remaining fat and muscle mass of the agent's corpse. Agent A███ vomits as Commander R████ terminates the remaining instances with his knife.
20:20:03: The agents approach and enter the cabin to find multiple deceased instances of SCP-5286-1 roasting over the fire-pits inside. Huddled in the corner of the cabin is a nude, emaciated human male covered in blood and surrounded by mutilated corpses of SCP-5286-1. The team attempts to speak with the individual, but they remain unresponsive. The individual continues to incessantly mutter to themselves.
20:22:36: A large cyst on the individual's body ruptures and an instance of SCP-5286-1 falls to the ground before standing up. The instance is quickly terminated by the agents.
20:25:54: The agents carry the individual out of the cabin into the clearing and cleanup teams are called in.
[END LOG]
The individual was detained and determined to be the source of the anomalous instances. They were then transferred to a nearby facility for processing. The individual was later classified as SCP-5286 and transferred to Site-17.
Since the time of recovery, SCP-5286 has refused to divulge information regarding the origin of its anomalous properties. From the information that was gathered, it appears SCP-5286 attended a large, hedonistic social gathering, where individuals were encouraged to excessively drink, eat, fornicate, and partake in recreational drug use. This gathering reportedly devolved into excessively violent behavior, culminating in the dismemberment and consumption of multiple highly intoxicated individuals. Investigation into the person or persons that organised this event is ongoing.
During analysis of retrieval logs, SCP-5286 was found to be muttering the phrase 'He had horns' repeatedly. They have since refused to elaborate.
Item #: 5705
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-5705 is to be contained within an industry standard anti-static bag located in Site-19's anomalous item storage wing. SCP-5705 is to be connected to a modified multimeter capable of recording electrical output and messages originating from 'Discharge' events.
Equipment is to be checked bi-weekly for damage.
Description:
SCP-5705 is a standard sized PP3 or 'Nine-Volt' battery with a label attached reading 'Mighty Batteries!™ Powered by Thorium!™' written in black marker. Under normal circumstances, SCP-5705 is capable of an average output of 500 mA for an indefinite amount of time when connected to an electronic device. SCP-5705 has so far proven to be invulnerable to all forms of damage. However the label is easily removed. Tests reveal no trace of the radioactivity expected of thorium decay.
SCP-5705-1 is an entity currently trapped within SCP-5705. SCP-5705-1 is hostile and actively attempting to escape from the interior of SCP-5705. Occasionally, SCP-5705-1 will enter an agitated state, causing SCP-5705 to undergo what has been designated as a 'Discharge' event. During these events, the overall voltage of SCP-5705 will spike much higher than normal for a short period before returning to it's original output of 500 mA. If a device with a screen is attached to SCP-5705 during one of these events, text will appear on the screen in a language correlating to the settings of the device. These messages are often corrupted beyond the point of legibility., although a few partially coherent messages have been observed. These messages are believed to originate from SCP-5705-1 and are often hostile in nature, presumably directed at the individual designated as PoI-5705.
Addendum-5705-A: Partial List of Recorded Messages

Addendum-5705-B: Recovery
SCP-5705 was recovered from the home of Robert B███████, an office worker living in New York City, after the Foundation became aware of social media posts in which he claimed to possess a 'magic battery' that never loses power. After an investigation into the claims, SCP-5705 was discovered in B███████'s home where it was being used to power a flashlight.
B███████ claims that he purchased SCP-5705 from a salesman selling his wares on a street corner. A crowd had gathered around to bid on the items being sold, most of which seem to be at least partially anomalous in nature. A number of the individuals had reportedly filmed the salesman, and after further investigation a video of the auction was discovered online.
Following review of the footage and the items involved, the individual selling the items has been designated as PoI-5705. Investigation into PoI-5705's whereabouts and identity are ongoing.
Auction Video Excerpt:
[IRRELEVANT DATA EXPUNGED]
PoI-5705: … pleasure doing business, just remember to not open it indoors. For our next item, we have something that no doubt many of you fine people would love to have yourself!
PoI-5705 holds up SCP-5705.
PoI-5705: This magnificent item is known as a 'Mighty Battery'! On the exterior it may seem to all the world as a simple battery, but with some handiwork by yours truly it has been made into a fountain of limitless energy! Of course there is a limit at how much it can give at one time; we wouldn't want those hippie lobbyists to catch wind of a limitless power supply, would we?
The gathered crowd laughs in response.
PoI-5705: This fine item will allow you to never worry about a pesky flashlight running out while trekking through the woods! Or an inconvenient halting of particularly… intimate items? No, this convenient item harnesses godlike power for your own benefit! Hell, I would sell my own brother for this beauty, if I had one that is.
PoI-5705 performs an exaggerated wink to the camera, then places SCP-5705 on the table in front of them and throws their hands into the air.
PoI-5705: So! Let's start the bidding at a measly $15! Any takers?
The crowd begins to bid on SCP-5705, eventually ending with B███████ outbidding the others and purchasing SCP-5705 for a total of $32.50 before returning home. The auction then continues for another hour before PoI-5705 announces his departure and the crowd disperses.

Item #: XXXX
Object Class: Neutralised
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a standard 5x5x5m containment cell. The cell is to be kept at a constant temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and at a humidity of 45% in order to minimise any further damage to SCP-XXXX. Any personnel interacting with SCP-XXXX must wear protective gear to prevent injury.
Note: As of 12/8/2018 SCP-XXXX's containment unit has been furnished with a number of items as part of ongoing research. Additional items may be added at the direction of the project director and must be examined thoroughly by security. Addition of any unauthorised items to SCP-XXXX's containment is strictly prohibited.
The remains of SCP-XXXX are to be kept in cold storage at Site-XX's non anomalous item storage wing.
No further measures are necessary.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the heavily damaged corpse of a male human being. SCP-XXXX shows significant damage from a number of sources, including age, exposure, animal attacks, rotting, and injuries sustained from manmade weaponry. Despite this heavy damage and lack of any vital signs or mechanical processes, SCP-XXXX remains animate and able to perceive it's surroundings through unknown means.
SCP-XXXX is clothed in heavily degraded clothing and metal armour similar to those worn by viking warriors. These items include a heavily rusted helmet, a tattered tunic, a leather breastplate, one heavily damaged leather glove, and the hilt of a broken and rusted sword. Tests have shown the remains to date around 900 AD, in line with the attire worn by SCP-XXXX.
If an individual approaches and is noticed by SCP-XXXX, it will immediately begin moving towards them and attempt to injure them by any means available. However, due to SCP-XXXX's heavily impaired motor skills, these attacks are easily defended against and damage is usually minimal. SCP-XXXX has not shown the capacity for higher thought beyond this and is currently considered as non-sapient. (Note: See Addendum-SCP-XXXX-B)

Item #: XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Description:
SCP-XXXX is an extensive network of interconnecting tunnels located beneath ███████, Israel currently believed to span an area of approximately ███km. The explored portions of SCP-XXXX have an estimated depth of approximately 8 km. However, some estimates place the depth of SCP-XXXX as high as ██km, or possibly even extending to [REDACTED] suggesting there may be undiscovered tunnel systems [REDACTED].
The tunnels comprising SCP-XXXX are smoothly eroded in a manner consistent with constant water flow or exposure to corrosive substances. The tunnels within SCP-XXXX can range from a few centimetres across up to 50m in diameter(fn). The air within SCP-XXXX is highly toxic to most forms of complex life, consisting of high concentrations of ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and various acidic compounds. Temperatures within SCP-XXXX can range from 30° Celsius to over 50° Celsius, with humidity consistently at 90-100%.
The tunnel surfaces within SCP-XXXX are coated in thick layers of various excretions currently assumed to be produced by SCP-XXXX-2 instances. These excretions consist primarily of faeces, but also contain large amounts of urine, sweat, mucus, and bile. Testing on these excretions show they are of human origin, and seem to have been digested and excreted multiple times(fn). These excretions are also infested with larval and adult instances of SCP-XXXX-1, which consume the material as their primary food source.
Samples of material taken from within SCP-XXXX has shown diverse range of microscopic lifeforms living within SCP-XXXX, most of which are bacterial in nature. These include various mutations of diseases such as E. coli, Tuberculosis, Syphilis, Salmonella, Campylobacter and Bubonic Plague. Viral, fungal, and parasitic organisms also exist within material inside SCP-XXXX where they propagate and mutate at highly accelerated rates. In addition to these mutations, various unidentified organisms and bacteria have been discovered that appear to be unique to SCP-XXXX.
Example of an SCP-XXXX tunnel with swarms of adult SCP-XXXX-1 visible.
SCP-XXXX-1 Description:
An adult instance of SCP-XXXX-1
NOT DONE
SCP-XXXX-1 are a previously unknown species of insect similar in appearance to the common house fly(fn), with some notable differences. The eyes of SCP-XXXX-1 are non-compound, with visible irises and pupils that contract and expand when exposed to different light levels similar to most land vertebrates. SCP-XXXX-1 are capable of vomiting fluids to aid in breaking down substances for digestion similar to other flies, however their bile is far more corrosive than average capable of liquifying most forms of material(fn).
SCP-XXXX-1 seem to be able to gain nutrients from almost any substance it is capable of liquifying, but will quickly starve if not actively consuming material on a constant basis(fn). SCP-XXXX-1 do not seem to be capable of reproduction, instead appearing to be excreted by SCP-XXXX-2 instances with other material. Large amounts of SCP-XXXX-1 in both adult and larval states can be found feeding on the excreted material left behind by SCP-XXXX-2 as they move through the tunnel systems of SCP-XXXX.

Addendum-XXXX-A: Discovery
Addendum-XXXX-B: Exploration Logs
Item #: XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is an adult human male approximately 34 years of age previously known as Adam R████. SCP-XXXX's head is completely absent, in it's place is a dramatically enlarged human hand (fn). The large hand replacing SCP-XXXX's head is fully capable of performing various gestures and performing tasks a non-anomalous hand could, although with drastically increased strength. SCP-XXXX cannot speak due to a lack of a mouth, but can apparently hear and see through an unknown mechanism.
SCP-XXXX's secondary anomalous property is apparent whenever an individual refers to SCP-XXXX in any way including speech, text, or gestures. Any individual who attempts to refer to SCP-XXXX in this manner will have their sentences filled with various references, word plays, and puns that somehow relate to 'hands'. Any individual who does this will be wholly unaware of the changes that they have made until they are pointed out by a third party. SCP-XXXX seems unaffected by this but shows an intense hatred towards this effect and anyone who is affected by it.
