Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3201 is to be kept in a small, empty compartment with no windows or air holes. It is to be under 24 hour surveillance by no less than 2 Level 2 security clearances or higher. SCP-3201's chamber is NOT to be opened at anytime, for any reason unless permission is granted from O5 Command. Site Personnel are not to interview SCP-3201 for any reason, unless permission is granted from O5 Command, whether through speakers or face to face.

Description: SCP-3201 is a humanoid figure who's true form is unknown at the current time. SCP-3201 appears to be the viewer, with a matching face, height, and even clothes. However, SCP-3201 does not appear to have a mouth.

SCP-3201 does not speak and if any personnel hears it speak, then they are to alert the Site Director immediately. SCP-3201 usually remains standing upright in his containment and any change in structure is to be reported to Site Director immediately.

Anyone that SCP-3201 comes into skin to skin contact with will now be classified as SCP-3201-01. After turning into SCP-3201-01, the subject will be rendered blind, mute, and deaf as well as undergo a 30 minute long seizure, which is assumed to be induced by SCP-3201 (See Addendum-02).

Addendum-01: SCP-3201 was found by field agent ████ ██████, walking aimlessly below the Eiffel tower. Field Agent ████ ██████ described it as "a perfect replica of himself". SCP-3201 was subdued easily, complying with the agent when asked to "turn around and get on the ground". SCP-3201 was transported to Site- ██ in handcuffs. It was kept in a normal humanoid containment chamber until further notice.

Addendum-02: SCP-3201 was being interviewed by D-7248 when it spoke for the first time.

Interviewed: SCP-3201

Interviewer: Dr. ████████ ██████, through D-7248

Foreword: D-7248 entered the containment chamber with a small speaker and a microphone to interview SCP-3201. SCP-3201 remained motionless at this time.

Dr. ████████ ██████: SCP-3201 can you hear me?

SCP-3201: (No reply)

Dr. ████████ ██████: SCP-3201 reply. Failure to cooperate will result in termination.

SCP-3201: (No reply)

Dr. ████████ ██████: (muttering in the background) I don't think it speaks English. We may have to get a translator in here.

SCP-3201: Dr. ████████ ██████. (SCP-3201 looks directly at Dr. ████████ ██████ through the camera, skin where the mouth should be rips open revealing emptiness within) The Silence is coming. You cannot stop it. But the question is: will you join it?

Dr. ████████ ██████: Wha- how do you know my name?

SCP-3201: (No reply)

Dr. ████████ ██████: Can you tell us about this… silence?

SCP-3201: Want me to show you? Right away.

SCP-3201's hands turn to dust, freeing it of its restraints. SCP-3201 reaches forward and skims D-7248's chest. D-7248 sinks back into his chair and begins to have a seizure, foaming at the mouth. Security guards rush into the room to detain SCP-3201, who complies without resistance.
<End Log>
