FROM: Agent Pater, Acting head of security of Foundation Site-183
TO: Director ██████ █████, Sector of Aerial Security and Defense
SUBJECT: Report of the events of ██-██-████ and the decommissioning of SCP-XXXX
On the night of July █, 197█ at approximately ██:████ Site-183 was ambushed by several airborne hostiles of the organization known to the Foundation as the {DATA EXPUNGED}. While the site was scrambling for fliers, SCP-XXXX offered up her person-hood for the greater good and was allowed command of a McDonnel Douglas F-15 Eagle after being cleared for the skies unanimously by a vote of all Level 4 staff present on site.
She and a squad consisting of ████(█) members of the site's standing airforce met the enemy above ████, Alaska and immediately engaged the enemy after confirmation of target. After a prolonged dogfight lasting approximately █ hours, SCP-XXXX was shot down after taking out ██ hostile aircraft, with █ being forced to retreat.
Her corpse and aircraft were later discovered 5 kilometers off-base during a standard cleanup and cleansing operation ██ hours after the battle, the morgue report states that death was instantaneous (possibly induced by a brain-hemorrhage during a fatal nose-dive). She is to be give a funeral with full military honors, for what it's worth you have my condolences.
Object Class: Euclid Decommissioned
Special Containment Measures: SCP-XXXX was to be kept in a standard containment cell 6x6 meters in volume. Basic amenities such as a cot, dresser, and mirror were provided along with a opaque screen for privacy. Subject was allowed to dine in the common mess unsupervised, so long as she returned to her cell afterward. Requests for anything invented after 1940 were to be processed through the site Director or
Once a week she was allowed to -under supervision- repair the damaged belongings of members of the site's staff or drive within the confines of Site-183, a freedom that she greatly enjoyed. Her car was kept in the site's secure storage, until 198█ when the Site was liquidated. It, and several anomalous objects, were lost in the transfer to Site-██.
Description: SCP-XXXX was an anomalous, human female of ██ years of age. Standing at approximately 172.73 cm (5'9") in height with a healthy weight of 76.6 kilograms or 169 pounds. She was of clear Arabic descent with dark hair and caramel colored skin, her eyes were the forest green of her father, {DATA EXPUNGED}. She showed no biological deviations from standard human physiology, though the subject often would complain of migraines when heavily stressed examination through an electroencephalogram would show no aberrations.
SCP-XXXX had the ability to intuitively understand nearly any non-anomalous machine presented to her, though the most complex machines seemed to take more effort or time to effectively understand. When she had the requisite information, she would then be capable of using the machine with a high-degree of skill and control. The log below shows her being introduced to a car produced by █████, at the age of █ without any formal or informal training.
XXXX is introduced to the testing area, a large field empty of anything of note save for a singular ██████ model car, located just 2 outside of Site-183. A little girl gets out of a military jeep with Agent Pater and Dr. White who gestures to the car, XXXX dashes to the car and runs her hand over the hood.
XXXX: "Wait. This is really mine to use?"
Dr. █████: "So long as you're under appropriate supervision."
XXXX: "But it's mine to use, right?"
Dr. █████: "The Bluebird isn't that valuable, consider it yours.
XXXX: "Thanks *a gust of wind cuts off the next few words.*
XXXX: "She's beautiful, it's almost like I was meant to drive her."
XXXX spends some more time pacing around the car, focused seemingly on it and it alone. She finally stops before the door.
Dr. █████: "Go ahead, the keys are in the ignition."
XXXX: "I know that! I'm █, I can use my eyes."
XXXX opens the driver side door with a little difficulty and sits in the driver seat. She spends several moments lasting about thirty (30) seconds running her hand across the wheel and seemingly getting a feel for the controls. After which, she starts up the car and does a few practice laps. After the third lap, she's instructed to follow the jeep where they lead her to a previously setup practice range, after several hours of practice the film cuts to the sound of XXXX laughing.
When given an incomplete or destroyed machine or object, such as a partially disassembled computer the subject was capable of repairing it fairly easily. However, she'd need to have previously studied the object. Otherwise all she would glean from the remains was that 'It's broken, thanks.' Though she'd often complain that repairing an object was impossible, she managed to do it time and time again. At one point fixing the Site's ILLIAC IV supercomputer that had been destroyed in a raid by {DATA EXPUNGED} despite being destroyed by thermal charges. The process took 40 hours of near ceaseless effort, after she finished she complained of vivid auditory hallucinations. This is documented below in an interview with site psychologist. Dr. Saunders. Subject was given several pills of Trazodone and told to take 1 (one) before going to sleep nightly.
*XXXX takes a seat on a chair, somewhat anxiously. After a moment of shifting around nervously, she ends up sitting on the backrest of the chair. With her feet on the seat.*
Dr. Saunders: "You requested a meeting with me?"
XXXX:"Um, yes. I did."
Dr. Saunders: "Your note here claims that you've been 'hearing things', but that's about it. Would you mind elaborating?"
XXXX: "Uh, sure yeah. Well, it started sometime when I was fixing that computer."
Dr. Saunders: "The one destroyed by the {DATA EXPUNGED}?"
XXXX: "Exactly."
Dr. Saunders: "Well, you know I've had a toaster that's-"
*XXXX makes a face and gestures for him to stop*
XXXX: "Stop. Right there. If I hear that joke again, I'll probably go psychotic on the spot."
Dr. Saunders (laughing): "I'll make a note of that. But the hallucinations?"
XXXX: "Well, when I was working on the computer I thought I heard someone singing. I ignored it for awhile, but it only grew louder."
Dr. Saunders: "You were under some stress. Do you know when this was?"
XXXX: "I think…12 hours in?"
Dr. Saunders: "Have you considered that you may've been suffering from sleep deprivation? It may not seem like it, but exhaustion can do strange things to your mind."
XXXX: "Of course I did, it's just…well it seemed like the computer was singing to me. I thought I could hear it my mind, but you're probably right. It was a long forty hours."
Dr. Saunders: "Now that is certainly strange. Hmm, I'll see what I can requisition but from now on I think you should get at least eight hours of rest."
XXXX: "Thank you, ███ it means a lot.
Dr. Saunders: "No problem. I'm just doing my job."
The subject had also demonstrated a degree of understanding of human physiology, though she repeatedly refused to undergo any tests using cadavers or living subjects. Citing that she'd rather not know 'The truth of what really makes us tick.' When presented with one despite her complaints, she stood aside for several hours until she was escorted back to her cell. Any further tests were forbidden by decision of the Ethics Committee.
Discovery History: SCP-XXXX was found in 197█, by Dr. ████ in ██████████, New York. When she managed to break into the researcher's house to escape a winter storm. Dr. ████ asked how she managed to enter his home, despite the advanced locks protecting his home. She was initially elusive in her explanations, but after some coaxing she demonstrated her ability.
She remained with Dr. ███ for approximately three (3) days, before she was delivered to Site-183 for further research. Initially she was confined to her cell, due to potential fears of a containment breach with her knowledge of the working of mechanisms and her potentially being a sleeper agent. Such fears were dismissed after several months of admirable behavior and demonstrably attempting to aid the Foundation in it's endeavors.
You got what you always wanted,
You saved your adoptive family in its time of need.
Now we find ourselves haunted,
For we've lost a daughter to our creed.
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: In order to secure SCP-XXXX, the deployment of a modified oil-rig and research platform has been authorized for use by the O5 council, known from here on as Vessel-א. Any approaching craft are to be hailed and turned around before they enter primary containment zone, any vessels that pass this border are to be seized or neutralized. A full security staff of fifty (50) vetted professionals is to be kept on-board at all times, currently led by MTF-א "Water Wings". Psychics and empaths are to be denied entry without the explicit written permission of the O5 Counsel. Any spotted instances of SCP-XXXX-2a or SCP-XXXX-2b are to be instantly eliminated, as any hope of on-board containment has been determined to be impractical and unsafe.
Vessel-א and the surrounding waters are to be kept entirely illuminated at all times, currently managed by a double-wide ring of █████████-class light-cruisers, with appropriate support vessels. All of which have been modified to house a powerful lighthouse. Any changes to shift are to be done only at high-noon on the day of a new-moon. During the course of a full-moon, all staff are to be kept at high-alert with any approaching object from within the containment zone or out to be considered a Keter-class threat and to be eliminated on the spot. Should this force prove insufficient, any remaining vessels are to retreat to secondary containment and Vessel-א's on-board nuke is to be activated.
Once a week, a written report documenting the current populations of local flora and fauna levels are to be sent to Site-██. Samples are to be retrieved only by autonomous drone and sonar. In the event of any dramatic decrease in life, Vessel-א is to go under high-alert and follow similar protocol to that of a full-moon until population levels return to normal. The weather is to be constantly monitored, with approaching storms to be given extreme caution. Under no circumstances are any expeditions into SCP-XXXX to be allowed, unmanned or otherwise.
A public awareness campaign on the peaceful and benign nature of the ocean has been headed by several Foundation front-companies in order to weaken or eradicate SCP-XXXX, but so far this has proven ineffectual. As evidenced by the events of November 201█. Several Foundation researchers anticipate the effects to be visible within the next ██ years, perhaps in time for the up-welling of 203█.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous patch of water, located approximately 40 nautical miles (74.08 kilometers) to the west of █████, Micronesia. Encompassing an area of 15 nautical miles (27.78 kilometers) with a volume of 500 trillion gallons or 1.8 quadrillion liters of water.
Any humanoid entity that enters beneath the surface of SCP-XXXX will find themselves transported to a non-euclidean recursive oceanic realm of cold dark saltwater. There is no sources of light in the realm, any attempts to produce any result in failure. The only way to detect nearby objects, such as SCP-XXXX-2a or SCP-XXXX2b, are sonar or touch. Often times this is far too slow to be in anyway effective.
The ambient temperature of the realm, known among it's wardens as the Drownyard, is roughly 250 degrees kelvin. Well below the freezing point of seawater, remaining static and unchanging. Occasionally, audio sensors will pickup strange sounds emanating from the yard. Such as a distant foghorn or the sound of bells from an antique buoy, on several occasions the cries of enormous beasts have been recorded and even heard by humans on Vessel-א. Approximately 1 in 15 (6.66%) of those that hear this song go mad and will do anything to enter SCP-XXXX. Often resulting in immediate self-termination.
Upon entering SCP-XXXX there is no escape. One becomes trapped until they expire from exposure, starvation, self-termination, or SCP-XXXX-2a or SCP-XXXX-2b. Attempts to return subjects using anomalous artifacts, always results in the subject transforming into an instance of SCP-XXXX-2b. Only the Drownyard itself seems capable of releasing those it has imprisoned, a feat it does with regular basis.
During every full-moon it releases a swarm of SCP-XXXX-2a and SCP-XXXX-2b. Who then seek out the nearest life forms and attempt to kill them (travelling on one case as far ██████, Australia), after an unknown period of time SCP-XXXX will recall it's inhabitants back into itself and await the next full-moon to begin anew. However, it has before released these entities seemingly at random. Often catching Foundation staff off-guard and resulting in the death of several valuable staff-members. The only guaranteed lull-point has been during the new-moon. However several researchers have pointed out the intelligence of the yard and believe that it is trying to inspire complacency within it's wardens.
SCP-XXXX-2a and SCP-XXXX-2b
Only two things inhabit SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-2a, which appears to be native to the realm, and SCP-XXXX-2b. Which is created by those who enter it or come into contact with SCP-XXXX-2a. These entities possess a vast degree of difference in intelligence, SCP-XXXX-2b seems to require SCP-XXXX-2a in order to properly function with several reported instances of SCP-XXXX-2b simply floating in the water when instances of SCP-XXXX-2a are available.
Specimens of SCP-XXXX-2a appear to be a large, humanoid chordate. Weighing approximately 600 pounds with a length of about 15 meters, about 75% of their body is taken up by a powerful tail. Capable of allowing the creatures to propel themselves to mach-█. They are slender beings, with very little muscle-mass on their figures. They have long dark-flowing hair that manages to nearly reach the base of their tails. Their faces are humanoid, but with notable chordate-like features. Including a cruel grinning jaw, capable of dis-hinging itself. Gills starting at the cheek and descending to the base of the neck, and a nictating membrane to protect the creature from irritants and bright light.
As stated before, SCP-XXXX-2a is intelligent evidenced in it's usage of SCP-XXXX-2b and it's capacity to make usage of tools. Several reports indicate that SCP-XXXX-2a has been seen before using materials found drifting near-SCP-XXXX-2a during a full-moon cycle as crude weapons. Such as driftwood or wreckage materials.
Most notably, anything that touches SCP-XXXX-2a directly will be infected with a virus that transforms the subject into a specimen of SCP-XXXX-2b. This happens slowly, over the case of several days. The virus is non-contagious, but caution is to be handled with those infected by SCP-XXXX-2a as madness and complete disregard for one's safety always manifest in those afflicted by it.
The first symptom is extreme bloating and swelling. This happens a few hours after initial infection. This bloating will continue to worsen over the course of the next few days until the subjects circulatory system invariably fails. By this point, the subject will have gone mad from lack of bloodflow to the brain and lose most higher brain functions. The subject loses all ability to distinguish between former acquaintances and food sources. At this point, the development into SCP-XXXX-2b has nearly been completed.
When the afflicted individual is brought to any source of water, even if it's only condensation or fog, the individual will be 'pulled' into SCP-XXXX. It is unknown what happens to the specimen at this point, but reports of infected individuals being recognized in subsequent raids during the next full-moon cycle have been proven to be true. When the individual returns, they seem to be incapable of feeling pain. Most chemical and biological have proven entirely ineffective, with the entity being capable of assault even when all motor control should be impossible.
Should the entity reach close-quarters, it's capable of somehow inducing severe cyanosis with it's presence. This ranges from about 1-3 meters, with no prove way to prevent this effect from occurring. As all native plant and animal life in the area are incapable of entering SCP-XXXX, but are affected by this phenomenon, monitoring the nearby ocean for sudden dead-zones has been a proven method for detecting unscheduled attacks by SCP-XXXX.
