SCP-XXXX prior to containment.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a heavily reinforced two-layer amphibian enclosure able to withstand explosions equivalent to at least 1 3 kilotons1 of TNT. Each layer of the enclosure is to be outfitted with a steel-encased concrete door with a remote locking system.

Protocol D: Biweekly Each week, a Class D personnel is to enter SCP-XXXX's containment and wait for SCP-XXXX to make a request. The Class D personnel is to recite the request to Foundation personnel and fulfill it if possible. Otherwise, the Class D personnel is to tell SCP-XXXX the request cannot be fulfilled.

In the event SCP-XXXX reaches the outer layer, Foundation personnel are to request SCP-XXXX goes back to the inside layer. If SCP-XXXX refuses, Foundation personnel are to release naphthalene gas in the outside layer until SCP-XXXX returns.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a salamander biologically resembling the Ambystoma maculatum2. However, SCP-XXXX is physically more resistant to injury than its non-anomalous counterparts and is estimated to be able to withstand blasts equivalent to up to 1.2 3 kilotons of TNT.

Through unknown means, SCP-XXXX is capable of coherently speaking and understanding all known languages. SCP-XXXX utilizes these vocalizations in order to make requests, henceforth referred to as XXXX-A events. Failure to adhere to these requests results in a variety of potential consequences involving an anomalous explosive force henceforth referred to as XXXX-B events. The means by which SCP-XXXX is able to manifest these events is unknown. However, the nature of SCP-XXXX suggests that XXXX-B events are a byproduct of its emotional state in response to unfulfilled requests.

Giving orders or demands to SCP-XXXX will result in an immediate XXXX-B event that is, in most cases, fatal.

Discovery Log

Date: 27/03/2021

SCP-XXXX was retrieved from Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, by Provisional Task Force Tau-33 ("Talking Tides"). The Foundation was alerted to the anomaly due to reports of a “talking salamander” and scorched trees. Transcription of the body camera of the Tau-33 leader ("Tsunami") is provided below.

Discovery Log Transcript

Task Force Assigned: Provisional Task Force Tau-33 "Talking Tides"

Task Force: "Tsunami", "Hurricane", "Maelstrom", "Waterspout"

<Begin Log>

Control: Remember, all we know is the thing talks. Stay focused; we don't know what it can do.

Tsunami: Understood.

Tsunami: Eyes up, team. In-and-out in less than thirty, just like always.

Hurricane, Maelstrom, Waterspout: Yes sir.

[Tau-33 head towards the last reported location of SCP-XXXX.]

Waterspout: I have eyes on the target.

Tsunami: What's the situation like?

Waterspout: Target seems docile, but the ground is… scorched?

Tsunami: Alright. Hurricane, Maelstrom, keep your distance and eyes on the target. Waterspout, we're movin' in.

Waterspout: Understood. Stay cautious, though. Looks like this thing's got somethin' nasty up its sleeve.

Maelstrom: Salamanders don't have sleeves, Water.

Waterspout: Try to stay focused for more than a couple seconds.

Hurricane: We're about to engage with the target, now's not the time for back n' forth.

["Tsunami" and "Waterspout" approach SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX looks in their direction, but otherwise does not react.]

Tsunami: (To SCP-XXXX) Hey, why don't you come with us?

[SCP-XXXX does not respond. It turns to face "Tsunami".]

[Tsunami carefully reaches for SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX takes several steps backwards.]

[SCP-XXXX's skin starts to emit a small amount of orange light.]

Waterspout: Get back! Something's not right!

["Tsunami" jumps backwards. An explosive goes off from SCP-XXXX's location. "Tsunami" is launched several meters backwards. Flames cover the camera lens.]

Tsunami: (Whispers) Shit.

Maelstrom: Status?

Waterspout: Got a few burns. Nasty little creature.

Maelstrom: Looked like it hurt. Any orders?

Hurricane: Awaiting further instruction.

Tsunami: (To Control) SCP-XXXX seems to be capable of spontaneous combustion and explosive force. It seems unharmed despite being the hypocenter itself.

Control: Understood. Proceed with caution.

Tsunami: We're gonna have to get it to come with us quietly. If we try to beat it with force…

Waterspout: Moving in. Maelstrom, Hurricane, let me know if you see anything strange.

[Waterspout keeps their distance from SCP-XXXX.]

Waterspout: (To SCP-XXXX) This is your chance to come with us quietly.

[SCP-XXXX does not respond]

Waterspout: This is an order. Don't force our hand.

SCP-XXXX: No thanks!

[Camera footage shows "Waterspout" emit an orange glow. Multiple distinct cracking sounds can be heard, followed by a low rumble. "Waterspout" collapses to the ground, and black smoke rises from their corpse.]

Maelstrom: Jesus!

Hurricane: Holy hell…

Tsunami: Fuck! (To Control) Waterspout's down.

Control: Understood. Can you complete the mission?

[Several seconds of silence.]

Tsunami: I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it'll work.

Maelstrom: Are you insane?! We just saw Water's insides reduced to fucking mush!

Tsunami: Maels-

Maelstrom: I say we come back with backup, a plan, equipment—something better than a hunch at least!

Tsunami: This isn't just a talking salamander; who knows what kind of damage it can cause. I think I've figured it out and I'm willing to risk it. Time is not on our side, here.

Tsunami: (To Control) I'm engaging with SCP-XXXX.

Control: Understood. Don't do anything stupid.

["Tsunami" keeps their distance from SCP-XXXX. In the distance, SCP-XXXX starts eating a worm.]

Tsunami: (To SCP-XXXX) Hey.

[SCP-XXXX raises its head and looks at "Tsunami"]

Tsunami: Will you come with us, please?

SCP-XXXX: Yes! Can Eda come?

Tsunami: Eda?

SCP-XXXX: Yes, Eda!

["Tsunami" pauses for a moment.]

Tsunami: Yes, Eda can come. Will you tell us where they are, please?

SCP-XXXX: They said they'd come back soon!

Tsunami: Alright. We can come back and get them later, okay?

SCP-XXXX: Okay!

<End Log>

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX willingly followed "Tsunami", and Tau-33 successfully delivered SCP-XXXX to Site-33.

It was noted that SCP-XXXX may respond positively to requests given to it, in ways that may otherwise seem unnatural.

Additionally, Tau-33 opted to report that "Tsunami" felt the latter half of the transcript was incorrect. When asked to elaborate, "Tsunami" was unable to give a direct answer.

Addendum XXXX-1: Interview with SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Sal

Interviewee: SCP-XXXX

Date: 29/03/2021

Foreword: Dr. Sal asked SCP-XXXX for permission to interview in order to minimize possible emotional turmoil.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Sal: Hey, SCP-XXXX. Is it alright if I ask a few questions?

SCP-XXXX: Yes!

Dr. Sal: Great. So, can you tell me how you're able to talk, please?

SCP-XXXX: Yes! Eda asked me to!

Dr. Sal: Eda? Can you tell us who Eda is, please?

SCP-XXXX: No thanks! She said don't tell anyone!

Dr. Sal: Can you tell us where to find her?

SCP-XXXX: No thanks! She said she'd come back soon! Has Eda come back yet? I'm bored!

Dr. Sal: We'll investigate. Do you happen to know Eda’s last name?

SCP-XXXX: Yes!

Dr. Sal: Can you tell me, please?

SCP-XXXX: No thanks! She said don't tell anyone!

[Dr. Sal quickly writes something down.]

Dr. Sal: I think that'll be all for now. Thank you for your cooperation.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Investigations are currently ongoing to determine the location of possible suspects with the first name "Eda".

Dr. Sal opted to report feelings of discomfort. When asked why he felt it was necessary, he was unable to give a clear answer.

Addendum XXXX-2: Event XXXX-B-1 Log

Event XXXX-B-1

Date: 01/04/2021

Event Description: An explosion occurred in the west wing of Site-33, causing a temporary containment breach of the following anomalies: [REDACTED]. The explosion is estimated to have been equivalent to 0.01 kilotons of TNT.

Additional Notes: Following this event, Dr. Sal sent a class D personnel equipped with a body camera into SCP-XXXX's enclosure to communicate with it. The transcript of the body camera footage is attached below.

XXXX-2 Transcript

Date: 01/04/2021

Personnel: D-913

<Begin Log>

(Dr. Sal talks to D-913 through his earpiece.)

Dr. Sal: Head up to the second door and standby.

D-913: Uh, alright.

[D-913 reaches the second door. Several minutes of silence pass.]

Dr. Sal: Alright, we’re opening the door now. Recite the rules back to me.

D-913: (Sighs) ‘Don’t make sudden movements, and don’t give orders. Phrase your sentences as questions when appropriate.’

Dr. Sal: Good. Head inside, we’re watching the footage right now.

[D-913 slowly approaches SCP-XXXX. The enclosure is covered in thick soot.]

Dr. Sal: Okay, that’s close enough. Now, ask it if you can talk to it.

D-913: You want me to talk to a literal salamander?

Dr. Sal: You are to listen to what we tell you to do. This is very important.

D-913: Alright, I guess. (To SCP-XXXX) Hey, is it alright if I talk with you?

SCP-XXXX: (Angry tone) YES!

D-913: Jesus it can talk! Holy hell! (To Dr. Sal) I don’t think this guy’s friendly!

Dr. Sal: That’s alright, as long as it said yes. Keep going. Ask it if it can stop the explosions.

D-913: Explosions? What the hell are you talking about?

Dr. Sal: None of your concern, D-913. Do not question your orders, please. This is a serious matter.

D-913: (Whispers) Whatever.

D-913: (To SCP-XXXX) Hey little guy, will you please stop the explosions?

SCP-XXXX: No thanks!

D-913: (To Dr. Sal) He said no.

Dr. Sal: Ask it why it won’t stop.

D-913: (To SCP-XXXX) Is there a reason you won’t stop the explosions?

SCP-XXXX: Yes!

D-913: Why is that?

SCP-XXXX: I want to see Eda again! Where is Eda! Eda said she’d come back!

[SCP-XXXX proceeded to talk about Eda for another minute. This has been omitted for the sake of brevity.]

D-913: It’s sayin’ something about Eda.

Dr. Sal: Alright, we’ll have to look further int-

SCP-XXXX: (Shouting) Bring me Eda, please!

D-913: Hey, uh, they’re gonna look for Eda, okay?

SCP-XXXX: No! Bring me Eda, please!

D-913: (To Dr. Sal) It wants you to bring Eda.

Dr. Sal: Let it know we can’t at the moment, but that the investigation is currently ongoing.

D-913: (To SCP-XXXX) Hey, little guy, sorry but we don’t know where Eda i-

[The camera footage is overpowered by an orange glow. D-913 expresses an unusual warmth inside his body. Seconds later, the camera footage cuts out and the microphone is rendered useless.]

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Following Event XXXX-B-1, personnel are unauthorized to interact with SCP-XXXX.

Additional Notes: Transcription of Dr. Sal’s body camera footage is provided below.

Incident 1A Transcript

Date: 08/04/2021

Personnel: Dr. Sal

<Begin Log>

[Dr. Sal walks into the inner layer of SCP-XXXX’s containment.]

Dr. Sal: Hello, SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX: Hi!

Dr. Sal: Can you tell me why you wanted to see me?

SCP-XXXX: No thanks!

[Short pause]

SCP-XXXX: Tell me where you live!

Dr. Sal: W-what?

SCP-XXXX: Tell me where you live, please!

[Dr. Sal takes a short pause, and tells SCP-XXXX his address.]

SCP-XXXX: Thank you!

Dr. Sal: Can I leave now?

SCP-XXXX: No thanks! Bring Eda to me please!

[Short pause]

Dr. Sal: Bring you Eda?

SCP-XXXX: Yes please!

Dr. Sal: (Whispering) Shit.

Dr. Sal: (Sighs) Eda can’t be found. Sorry, SCP-XXXX, but that can’t be done.

[SCP-XXXX does not respond. SCP-XXXX starts emitting an orange glow. Dr. Sal braces. A minute of silence has been omitted for brevity.]

Dr. Sal: A-Aren’t you gonna kill me?

SCP-XXXX: No thanks! Leave me alone now!

[Dr. Sal promptly left SCP-XXXX’s containment enclosure.]

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Following this incident, it was discovered that Dr. Sal’s address spontaneously detonated. SCP-XXXX has made no further requests for “Eda”.
