Item #: SCP-6000

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Only D-class personnel are permitted to bite from the apples the tree produces, after eating an apple from the tree, if the age the apple had engraved was still in the realm of childhood, the D-class are taken to a room called the D-class child containment, and are treated as children, if the age is in adulthood though, they are usually terminated or taken back to their cells.

Description: SCP-6000, or the lifespan tree, is an indestructible apple tree measuring two meters in diameter, and five meters in height, the apples this tree produces, designated SCP-6000-1 are capable of altering the eater’s age, all instances of 6000-1 have the age they will make the eater engraved in them as soon as they sprout. All instances of 6000-1 not only sprout fully grown, but are damageable by anything but teeth, and can only be eaten by humans. As soon as 6000-1 is consumed by a human, the main fruit will disappear, and the bite taken will force itself down the eater’s throat, the eater will then stop aging altogether, then, five minutes later, the eater, designated 6000-2 will start aging or de-aging rapidly at a pace of 1 year per second until coming to the age engraved on the apple, these estrangements can be as precise as 25 seconds old, or as blunt as 30 years old. Instances of SCP-6000-2 are usually D-class personnel, but there was one incident when the tree was first discovered by the foundation, in Afghanistan in 1823, where the head of the team, one Mr. George Lawrence, AKA 05-5 took a bite out of one instance of 6000-1, and became a decrepit 90-year-old man, he is now known as SCP-106. In another incident, a researcher named Maddie Jamison took a bite out of 6000-1, misreading the engagement as 28 years old, not 28 days old. While she was promptly fired and is now forced to spend the rest of her life suckling her old receptionist’s breast and shitting herself, at least she doesn’t have to worry about the heavy reprimands she would have faced had she taken a bite out of a 28-year-old 6000-1. Many people speculate there was another instance of a member of the 05-council turning into an instance of 6000-2, resulting in SCP-503, but this has not been confirmed by the overseers yet. This tree has been given a safe-classification and is currently being contained in [redacted] in [redacted]
