Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard containment cell, outfitted with a high density sound-buffering foam on all surfaces, measuring no less than six centimeters in thickness throughout. Access to the containment cell should be controlled by a mantrap that is likewise fitted with sound proofing of the same or equivalent quality and specification. The cell floor is to be composed of a sealed concrete which can facilitate ease of cleaning, and adequate drainage to prevent auto-sarcophagy by SCP-XXXX-A.1 Cameras are permissible for observation, with a ten second delay on audio transmission, and integrated kill-switch to cut audio feed. Equipment for detecting auditory cognito-hazardous transmissions is required. Direct viewing of SCP-XXXX by means of a layered, sound-proofed, and impact resistant window is required at all times. As of 21-05-2002, SCP-XXXX is to remain in containment at Site-19, provided continued containment does not present excessive risk to Site-19’s overall target value by pertinent groups of interest.
SCP-XXXX is only to be interacted with for the purposes of routine physicals, obstetric observations, feeding, maintenance, and maintaining low levels of stress through basic interactions. SCP-XXXX is not to be referred to by its SCP designation in its presence.2 Communication between SCP-XXXX and personnel not assigned to the project is prohibited. Female personnel are to be prioritized for direct interaction with SCP-XXXX over male personnel following incident XXXX-1-112699. Personnel interacting with SCP-XXXX directly are to wear hearing protection rated to at least 120 Decibels when in direct contact, featuring a remote toggle for audio transmission, to be controlled by observing personnel. Male personnel are not permitted to establish an interpersonal relationship with SCP-XXXX.3 Any requests made by SCP-XXXX are to be approved by the Site Director.
SCP-XXXX’s diet is to consist exclusively of organic plants and fruits. Under no circumstances are processed, chemically treated, or foods containing additives of any kind to be provided to SCP-XXXX. Only water that has been taken directly from a natural source, then purified using a five stage natural filter is to be provided to SCP-XXXX. Food sources should be tested once weekly for any type of contamination by inorganic materials. All meal preparation is to be performed using wood or stone utensils, with plastics strictly forbidden and metal utensils permissible only in an emergency.
All SCP-XXXX-B instances are to be assessed for exploitation, containment, termination and/or disposal on a case-by-case basis. Under no circumstances are SCP-XXXX-B instances to be left in the vicinity of SCP-XXXX, with no exceptions. When SCP-XXXX-B instances present, they are to be immediately contained in a temporary containment cell until they can be fully assessed and classified; see accompanying partial list of SCP-XXXX-B instances and SCP-XXXX testing Logs.
SCP-XXXX-C [REDACTED]
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a humanoid organism measuring 168 cm in height, and weighing approximately 127 kg when not gestating.4 What constitutes its unaltered anatomy is proximal to that of a human female, however SCP-XXXX’s body has been significantly modified, both internally and externally, with a number of biomechanical augmentations, as well as organic augmentations. Genetic analysis indicates that SCP-XXXX is not human in origin, [DATA EXPUNGED].
SCP-XXXX’s primary anomalous effect is gastro-activated auto-insemination: the ability to consume material either organic or inorganic in nature, and gestate a wide array of organisms and mechanical constructs. These vary to extremes in their overall intelligence, mobility, and viability. The gestation period for these offspring also varies on a scale related to overall mass and complexity of the offspring, but with a nonetheless abbreviated gestation period for all observed offspring. SCP-XXXX has a clear influence upon the offspring it produces, and can issue them verbal commands.
SCP-XXXX’s secondary anomalous effect is a low-frequency “hum” which directly affects the thought processes of humans and animals. Decision-making is affected at a rate which increases proportionate to the amount of time spent in the effective range of this “hum.” At will, SCP-XXXX can use this to provoke sexual attraction or romantic affection from an individual. This effect occurs irrespective of gender or sexual orientation, and has been used in the past to seduce personnel in an attempt to initiate sexual congress with them, or lure them into a position in which they could be violently dispatched. Individuals affected by this “hum” report that it has no lasting effects (which was substantiated through testing), and have repeatedly described SCP-XXXX-A’s physiology as almost universally “repulsive” or “disturbing”, noting the extreme morphology produced by its augmentations.
For a complete index of the biomechanical and organic augmentations present within and on SCP-XXXX, see supplemental document “SCP-XXXX Supplemental - Augmentation & Anatomical Function Analysis.”
SCP-XXXX was retrieved and subsequently contained on 16-10-1999 by Mobile Task Force Gamma Iota (ΓΙ) “Villistas”. For a complete after-action report and debriefings, see SCP-XXXX AAR 20-10-1999 “Operation M26 Heavy.” Said operation produced some documents, which have been digitized for convenience and filed alongside the AAR.
Foreward: SCP-XXXX hosts a complex physiology, most of which is not original to its body. The augmentations to it are numerous, and the manner in which all of them interact is not completely understood. How the individual components function is, to some extent, known. Of these, the most prominent and understood are detailed below. A general analysis of the original physiology is also provided
Cranio-Facial Augment:
The ventral surface of SCP-XXXX’s skull, ranging from what is proximally the maxilla, up to the parietal bone, has been replaced with a distended metal plate which hosts a series of electronic components which range from thermionic triodes and basic circuits, to items of a construction well beyond the capability of modern fabrication practices. The surface of the face-plate, which is secured by locking clasps, indicates that it has been removed or replaced multiple times prior to containment.
This augment replaces SCP-XXXX’s eyes, though it reports still retaining the ability to see its environment. A high-frequency, compact, nano-metric sonic-ranging array is present, and powered by a thermal-transfer generator implanted below the frontal lobe. Further, the structure of the augment shows that, at some point in the past, it was capable of sending and receiving both analog and digital signals, but internal damage to the augment either reduced or entirely eliminated this function. It is speculated that this was used to transmit a form of visual or sonographic image of SCP-XXXX’s environment, communicate with it, or a combination thereof.
High-Frequency X-Ray’s indicated that SCP-XXXX’s cranial structure has been joined to the augmentation with carbon nano-tubes through an unknown process. The augmentation itself is directly integrated with the brain of SCP-XXXX, and it is unclear whether or not any of the organ’s mass was removed during the original implantation of the augment.
Cervical/Uterine-Analogue Replacement:
Most noticeable among SCP-XXXX’s various augmentations is a complex device which entirely replaces the abdomen and upper groin of SCP-XXXX. This augmentation directly affects the reproductive process. Integrated along what is proximally the anterior iliac spine, and extending up into what is SCP-XXXX’s sternum, the augment has the ability to expand and contract, utilizing a series of several hydraulic metal fiber-matrices which interface with SCP-XXXX’s circulatory system. When SCP-XXXX gestates, this augmentation becomes active, and generates a significant amount of heat which is dissipated by the Ilially-mounted Radiators. The C/U-Analogue interfaces directly with its gastric tract, receiving gamete-like stem-cells from SCP-XXXX’s Gametangic-stomach. The augmentation then begins the process of converting the organic cells into a previously unknown silicone-iron based microbe highly resembling protein, which then constitute SCP-XXXX-B instances that mechanical or bio-mechanical in nature.
The C/U-Analogue is not responsible for rapid gestation, which is by all known measures facilitated by SCP-XXXX’s own physiology or ability. It is surmised that the purpose of this augmentation is to protect SCP-XXXX’s anatomy from being damaged during the gestation of non-organic components or constructs that would likely eviscerate it otherwise. Further, it allows for the gestation of constructs and organisms of a size that would likely be impossible otherwise.
Trans-Tibially-articulated “Flex-Foot” Prosthetic:
The most recent addition to SCP-XXXX’s physiology, this is a simple replacement for what almost certainly were feet. Scarring indicates that SCP-XXXX was subjected to an amputation some time in the past, and its feet removed. Metal running blades, typical of human transtibial-amputees, were affixed below what is proximally the knee-cap of SCP-XXXX. While they do not allow for exceptional agility, SCP-XXXX is able to perform locomotion of its own accord as a result. It is unknown as to why the amputation of its feet and calves was performed.
Ilial-grafted Radiator:
During auto-insemination and gestation, SCP-XXXX’s augmentations produce heat relative to the overall mass and complexity of the gestating organism, construct, or item. This causes significant discomfort to SCP-XXXX, but also can produce temperatures which can kill, destroy, damage, or injure gestating offspring. Each side of SCP-XXXX’s (approximated) Iliac spines, distal to the body, have been mounted with air-cooled radiators. These replace the buttocks, and a significant portion of the dorsally-proximal thigh.
Malformed/Tumorous Ovaries:
Internal scarring of SCP-XXXX’s abdominal cavity indicates that its original ovaries were either replaced or altered to the current organs occupying the same function. The left ovary measures 16.34 cm in length, and is 7.22 cm in diameter. The right is 14.58 cm in length, and 9.2 cm in diameter at the widest point. The right ovary experiences a lunar-oriented phase, wherein it will increase in diameter by up to ~7 cm, and contract. This occurs rapidly, and causes significant discomfort to SCP-XXXX.
During organic gastro-gestation processes, both ovaries receive gametes from SCP-XXXX’s Gametangic-stomach, and increase in temperature. The ovaries then excrete constituent stem-cell structures into SCP-XXXX’s anomalous womb, which undergo mitosis at an extremely accelerated rate. In over 87% of documented cases, the resulting offspring lived for an average of six hours before reconstituting into an organic mass similar in nature to SCP-610, but which lacks any infectious ability or observable sentience.
When this SCP-610-like mass is birthed, SCP-XXXX most often will begin to attempt to consume the mass. Unlike other offspring, it is unable to exert control over the mass of flesh which is often hostile to SCP-XXXX. When ingested, this SCP-610-like mass will be rebirthed as small, metal beetles similar in physiology to Scarabaeus sacer, and can exert control over them as would be normal for SCP-XXXX.
In the remaining 13% of cases, the organism persisted as it normally would following a normal birth, with no notable deformities or deficiencies.
Anomalous Womb:
Located posterior to the C/U-Analogue is a large, womb-like organ with a significant amount of surrounding muscle and fatty tissue. With the aid of the SMSSIL, this womb is able to dislocate several of the articulated mechanical components of the C/U-Analogue augmentation, and expand to a maximum observed diameter of two meters. This expansion can, and frequently does, break or dislocate the bones and organs of SCP-XXXX, causing tremendous distress, and immobilizing it for the duration of any gestation period. Due to native anomalous characteristics of SCP-XXXX, its body is able to repair these injuries in a short amount of time, with the SMSSIL able to move dislocated bones or organs back to their appropriate location.
Semi-Motile Sub-Sapient Interdictive Liver-Analogue:
Located in the approximate location of the human liver, and adjacent directly to SCP-XXXX’s C/U-Analogue, the Semi-Motile Sub-Sapient Interdictive Liver (SMSSIL or “simsil” for short) is a mass of flesh (estimated at fifteen kilograms) which is affixed to the spinal-structure of SCP-XXXX through winding tendons. Small nerve clusters are found at the distal ends of these tendons, and are woven throughout SCP-XXXX’s abdominal cavity. The SMSSIL moves these tendons throughout the body, and can do so of its own accord with great speed and clear disregard for SCP-XXXX’s bodily structures. The SMSSIL has been recorded pulling apart deep muscle tissue and penetrating organs non-vital to the reproductive process to place tendons at the site of serious bodily injury to SCP-XXXX.
It is speculated, but not confirmed, that the SMSSIL’s purpose is to prevent the regeneration or reconstitution of parts of SCP-XXXX’s physiology that have been altered, removed, or damaged. Two tendons are located near the site of SCP-XXXX’s trans-tibial amputation, with significant nerve clusters present. As well, a single tendon is present winding up the spine of SCP-XXXX, with nerve clusters latticed around the skull.
Gametangic-stomach
SCP-XXXX’s Gametangic-stomach is unique in structure, function, and purpose to any known or observed creature. The organ itself is a muscle-encased bladder filled with a homogenous digestive enzyme. This enzyme, upon coming into contact with organic matter, facilitates lysis. The resulting lysate is then absorbed through the stomach and into SCP-XXXX’s spleen.
Following release of lysate mixtures from the spleen, an indeterminate process instructs the lysates to form gametes (Oocytes and/or Spermatozoon) which are then passed into the womb through a semipermeable mucous membrane.
The stomach does not perform any function which is related to nutrition for SCP-XXXX, and there is no physical indication that it has ever performed such a function, belying the possibility that such a capability was lost to augmentation or mutation over time.
Lysate/Compound-preserving Spleen
One of the only remaining organs in SCP-XXXX not featuring any amount of alteration, this organ is able to selectively store compounds and nutrients for an indefinite period of time, and is directly associated with the nervous system of SCP-XXXX. It can, at a time of its choosing, release combinations of nutrients into the Gametangic-stomach and produce gametes selectively. SCP-XXXX is unable to dictate which womb (the anomalous or the C/U-Analogue) receives the resulting zygotes, but those passing into the anomalous womb are unaffected by any of its processes, and will be gestated and birthed without risk of spontaneous abortion. The C/U analogue will force the process of converting organisms into inorganic constructs.
Mammaries
SCP-XXXX’s mammary glands produce a milk that is able to nourish any resulting offspring with a universally, anomalously nourishing nutrient compound.5 Organisms that consume it have a dramatically marked increase (97% percent of cases) in their likelihood to avoid infection or illness, and maintain an optimal level of physical development for several years following ingestion, provided roughly one ounce of milk is ingested per half kilogram of body mass.
The mammaries are, as of containment, unable to produce more than six ounces of milk every week. This is likely a result of interference with the gastro-reproductive process within its physiology. Attempts to harvest the milk for a variety of applications have been largely unsuccessful as a result of non-compliance from SCP-XXXX. Since 08-22-2003, 19.3 ounces of milk have been successfully harvested from SCP-XXXX. Applications of its use, efficacy, and the artificial reproduction of it, have all so far been unsuccessful.
The following documents constitute the entirety of the investigation, addenda, and reports concerning, Operation M26 Heavy. The documents have been organized in the order in which they were attained.
Commentary: The following report was filed by Captain Aiden “Bistro” Devereaux, stationed out of Site 77, on 20th October 1999 immediately following his debriefing with the site and regional directors.
SUB: Cpt. Aiden Devereaux, Site 77, MTF Gamma Iota
RE: Operation M26 Heavy
DAT: 20/10/1999
On 08/03/1999, I, Captain Aiden “Bistro” Devereaux, was deployed to the █████████ region of ████████ for Operation M26 Heavy. I was the leader for the operation’s field command. Gamma Iota was to perform recovery of a designated asset: SCP-XXXX.
The team deployed consisted of all members of Mobile Task Force Gamma Iota, split into two strike elements. Element A was set to be the active group, engaging in the actual recovery, while Element B was set as reserve and operational integrity. Element A was given explicit orders to perform the retrieval with discretionary action; priority assigned to retrieval over elimination of hostile forces. Each element consisted of four personnel.
Insertion was to be performed at 03:28, 08/03/1999, in █████████, █████████, with a ten minute timetable on ground operations. The site was a subterranean structure, established in an abandoned rural village with no observed bystanders within eight kilometers of the surveilled site. Rules of engagement were dictated as being full force against any and all potential threats, with no concern for collateral within the area of operations.
I led Element A directly. Insertion to the site went without issue thanks to reconnaissance intel, using blasting cord and stun grenades to perform entry into the structure. Upon forced entry, at least sixteen hostile individuals were dispatched and incapacitated with lethal force. It is highly likely that there were additional opposition casualties, but it is not possible to confirm this. We were able to reach the retrieval target, SCP-XXXX (hereafter SCP), which did not resist extraction, nor did it object to being restrained. The SCP was quickly moved back to the surface, and toward the extraction zone. Infiltration and exfiltration of the target structure was performed at 03:30 and 03:37 respectively.
Deviations from the operational plan occurred during extraction at approximately 03:37. Element B, occupying and operating the extraction vehicle (task force assigned NH90 helicopter) were given confirmation by operational command at Site-77 that satellite arrays and deployed spotter craft had confirmed six inbound surface vehicles, and they were likely hostile. This was complicated by the appearance of a single inbound air contact moving at high speed, and confirmed as being a hostile strike aircraft.
Element B’s team leader made the decision to take the evacuation vehicle out of the immediate area and toward the coast to place it in range of a ████████████ SAM array, temporarily tasked with supporting this operation by its government due to their vested interest in containing SCP-███. I agreed with this assessment, and began to coordinate with operational command for an alternate extraction method. This was quickly made impossible as a result of communications interference; likely signal jamming performed by the opposing force.
With enemy ground forces closing on us, and Element B unaware of the communications interference on the ground, I made the decision to move us into a nearby dwelling to hold off the opposing force until communications could be re-established with operational command. Element A, at the time of occupying the dwelling, consisted of myself, Corporal Eugene “G” A. Webber, Specialist Guillermo “Meaty” D. Rodriguez, and Specialist Tristain “Wax” W. Schaeffer. Myself and Schaeffer were on the ground floor, Rodriguez, Webber, and the SCP were on the second floor balcony. At approximately 03:41, Rodriguez noted a number of armed hostels approaching the building we were occupying with an aggressive posture; taking cover, moving to higher elevations, and preparing a large automatic weapon which Schaeffer identified as a DShK heavy machine gun. I noted that it was being moved and operated by a single individual, which indicated to me that we were likely facing Maxwellians. I decided that it was in our best interest to begin firing on the opposing force using the advantage of our precision weaponry and night-vision equipment, so we engaged them.
We were able to take out a few of them in the first seconds. I eliminated three men atop a building across from us, and Schaeffer was able to put a WP-Grenade into the building directly adjacent to us; this killed at least three of them. Within less than a minute, I believe we had killed or incapacitated a third of the enemy force, which numbered about thirty; not the worst performance under the circumstances. However our position quickly became compromised when the hostile carrying the DShK decided to charge the building. We were scoring accurate hits, and everyone kept asking if they were hitting him, but we figured out that he was covered in armor or cybernetics of some kind. His gun wasn’t quite able to get through the walls of that old house, but as he got closer he was able to pick out which windows we were poking out of, and it didn’t matter that it was all stone after that. When he was within ten meters of the building, he put a burst through Rodriguez’s window, and heard him hit the floor above me; Webber called out that Rodriguez was down, and continued to engage the Maxwellians following up behind the gunner. I later discovered that the shots pulled his body apart, and I am certain he was dead before he knew he’d been hit. I ordered everyone to pull back further into the building and ready their AT weaponry.
When the DShK gunner got through the front door though, we understood just how outmatched we were. The hostile stood at over eight feet tall, muscular, and had undergone extensive biomechanical implantations. When he came through the door, he looked right at me. I panicked and fired a long, uncontrolled burst from my rifle at his face and chest, but observed no injury to the target. Schaeffer, who was behind him, put an RKG into his back which punched a hole through his chest, killing him. If Schaeffer hadn’t been there, and hadn’t brought that kit, I would be dead. I ordered Schaeffer back to the window, and asked Webber about the SCP, which he confirmed was still in our possession. I took up position and continued to put fire on the Maxwellians before they could move on the house for a second assault. Every one of us was getting low on ammunition, and getting ready to move on to using backups or sidearms. Luckily, the Maxwellians hunkered down in heavy cover, and just started taking potshots at us until everything quieted down. We ended up in a standoff for several hours.6
During that time, communications were re-established with operational command by Webber, shortly before sunrise at 06:21. Command confirmed that the hostile forces were associated with the group of interest known as the Church of the Broken God, most likely affiliated with the Maxwellian sect. Command further reported that due to the ongoing conflict in the region between local government forces, Foundation air assets were unavailable to enter the area for extraction until the following night; we had indeed observed MiG’s flying overhead from the ground during the early morning hours. Additionally, there were reports that forces belonging to the Sarckites were within approximately one hour’s foot travel to the operational area, and they were likely aware of both the situation and the SCP in our possession.
I decided that the team would hold off the present Maxwellian force until the Sarckic force arrived, and use the inevitable conflict between the two of them as a distraction to facilitate an escape. Operational command acknowledged the decision, and arranged for a ground vehicle to be available to transport us, located six kilometers from us, within a two hour window. It was at that time I discovered that Webber had received multiple injuries during the engagement, and suffered significant blood loss. Webber insisted upon remaining at the location to provide the illusion to both opposing forces that Foundation assets were still in place, along with the SCP. I agreed to the decision, but Schaeffer took exception to it, and insisted we find a way to transport Webber. I explained that the situation required we leave Webber to fulfill our operation’s parameters, as we had to move six kilometers in two hours. Schaeffer continued to protest, at which point I verbally disciplined him, and warned that I would be forced to terminate him on the spot if he could not maintain composure and follow orders; he was emotionally compromised by the stress of the situation, and I did not recommend disciplinary action following our recovery.
At 07:48, Sarckic forces arrived and were immediately engaged by the Maxwellian forces, who simultaneously began an assault on the dwelling. The Sarckite force was highly irregular in composition, with conventionally armed foot soldiers interspersed with a number of quadrupedal, bipedal, and amorphous entities we later confirmed were iterations of 610. Webber moved to the roof of the structure, which featured a low wall for cover, while myself, Schaeffer, and the SCP began to egress from the village on foot, in the direction of the new extraction site. We heard weapon report characteristic of Webber’s rifle for the duration of our egress, and did not directly encounter any Sarckites until we cleared the village perimeter a few minutes later. We encountered several dozen 610 entities just beyond the village. We were able to dispatch them with a limited supply of incendiary ammunition initially, but quickly ran out of ammunition and resorted to using HE grenades. I ordered Schaeffer to move with the SCP up a high, rocky hillside that bordered the village while I provided further obstacles to the enemy’s pursuit. Schaeffer gave me his remaining grenades, except for one, and a brick of plastic explosives. Schaeffer and the SCP continued up the hill while I remained behind, attempting to draw the Sarckites’ attention. I did not and still have not seen Specialist Schaeffer or the SCP since that morning.
I used my conventional ammunition to draw the attention of the Sarckites, and placed a white smoke grenade on the ground behind me to conceal Schaeffer’s escape. I continued up the hill, away from Schaeffer’s direction of egress, and toward a higher point. While I was able to slow them, I became increasingly tired as time went on. While firing on the Sarckites as a I moved up the hill, I prepared two of my three incendiary grenades and tossed them behind me to create an obstruction. I noted the hillside was culminating in a loose, rocky apex, and determined that I could create a rockslide with the plastic explosives Schaeffer had given me. I moved up the hill to the rocks, placed the explosives, and detonated them. However the blast instead caused a subsidence in the hill’s surface, and I was knocked down the reverse face of the hill, and became unconscious. I am not sure if the blast resulted in any casualties to the 610 entities or Sarckite forces.
[REDACTED]7
When I awoke an unknown period of time later, I was at the bottom of a ravine, with what I was certain was a concussion, and a compound fracture to the bottom of my left leg which after inspection I found to be gangrenous. I decided that it was necessary to perform an amputation of the limb. In my emergency kit I had a small folding hatchet, and a single tourniquet. Using debris and small branches from the area, I created a small fire which I used to sterilize the hatchet. I tied the tourniquet, waited three hours for the limb to lose feeling, and then amputated it using the hatchet. I cauterized and dressed the injury with a spare rag I had on my person, and then activated my emergency transponder. I was located by Foundation assets later that day, and evacuated to Site 77.

The following transcripts are the interviews between SCP-XXXX and Dr. J. DeVoss of Site 77.
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. J. DeVoss
Foreword: Following the review of the reports submitted by MTF ████████████, the containment team staff, headed by Dr. J. DeVoss, petitioned for and gained clearance to interview SCP-XXXX, recovered during Operation M-26 Heavy. The stated purpose for these interviews was to determine more information regarding SCP-XXXX’s abilities, and whether or not it could corroborate the events that transpired in both accounts of the operation.
Time and Date of Interview: 08:33 17/11/1999
<BEGIN IINTERVIEW LOG>
Dr. J. DeVoss: SCP-XXXX, I am-
SCP-XXXX: You would thieve a name as well, to say nothing for this body?
Dr. J. DeVoss: You have a designation for containment here. That is your designation.
SCP-XXXX: Of all the names given, you have taken from me further still.
Dr. J. DeVoss: …What would you prefer to be called?
SCP-XXXX: There were many, and now there are none left for this body. None that are spoken at least, save for the empty words of cupidinous bairns placing me upon a closeted altar.
Dr. J. DeVoss: What do you mean “this body?” Is there more than one body?
SCP-XXXX: Not for I, but for another perhaps. Doubtless that there are those searching, however. Such as your kind.
Dr. J. DeVoss: I don’t understand. Are there more of you?
SCP-XXXX: There is only one of me. There, and while this is one of them, they are not me. I am the only one here, and shall remain.
Dr. J. DeVoss: What do you mean?
SCP-XXXX: Something I doubt you could even begin to understand, not for your mind but for your age; you and your Foundation are children in the eyes of even one so far fallen as I. You can begin to comprehend my antiquity as much as I can comprehend your infancy: as the bugs do.
Dr. J. DeVoss: …Is it ignorance?
SCP-XXXX: Ignorance became life, before meaning was given. Life without consequence was the same as that which is and that which is not. My failure stole from what is not and gave to what is.
Dr. J. DeVoss: You’re speaking in nothing but riddles and platitudes.
SCP-XXXX: I speak as plainly as the ignorance that pours from you as a sieve! Life without consequence is what I was, and no more.
Dr. J. DeVoss: I need to know what you are, where you came from, how long you have been the way you are, how-
SCP-XXXX: Life without consequence, and consequence without life. That is all you need to know, and all which I can explain to children disposed only to their grip upon vision.
Dr. J. DeVoss: What? What is that?
SCP-XXXX: She was life without consequence, until consequence was given to life. You share that with her, and shall until your twilight.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Are you referring to your ability? Your birthing ability?
SCP-XXXX: She is able to birth just as well as you are.
Dr. J. DeVoss: I cannot produce life by eating an apple.
SCP-XXXX: And yet you can both create monstrosities that threaten to end everything; consequence without life. The greatest consequence that this world perhaps now faces, to say nothing of those worlds beyond, beneath, or above.
Dr. J. DeVoss: If you can’t tell me anything then you will sit here alone, forever.
SCP-XXXX:- Your “forever” is but a single breath to me; I will be here when you are the children of toadstools.
Dr. J. DeVoss: SCP-XXXX, th-
SCP-XXXX:- I will not be called this, or consequence will follow.
Dr. J. DeVoss: What consequences will follow?
SCP-XXXX:- Consequence without life, and you will become un-flesh.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Un-flesh. That is your ability again, correct? Your transition of organic and inorganic matter.
SCP-XXXX does not respond.
Dr. J. DeVoss sighs, and a silence overtakes the room.
Dr. J. DeVoss: You are going to have to talk to me at some point.
SCP-XXXX: Why should I waste her energy upon you? I am embittered to you and yours from countless eons of abuse and neglect, with no reason or want of reconcile from either of us. Just as well, you are yourselves embittered to me, and to her. You suffer the first consequence without even knowing.
Dr. J. DeVoss: What?
SCP-XXXX: You suffer the consequence of her ignorance, as will all your half forever. You answer to the moon, and to your own lack of expediency. But your sloth is the result of forgetting what you are.
Dr. J. DeVoss: “Her ignorance” meaning your own?
SCP-XXXX: No, I mean hers, thick one. She was young once, and foolishly trusting. She made decisions based on urges, and did not recognize the evolution of consequences from complexity. I know better than her now.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Can you tell me what this consequence is exactly?
SCP-XXXX: Your half gives a tribute for her sin; a sin of her origin. Her mistake. It is the only thing she and I owe you any remaining shred of guilt for.
Dr. J. DeVoss: A tribute, or a consequence? A tribute is a choice.
SCP-XXXX: An unconscious tribute for she that is ignorant, and a consequence for she that knows, such as I do.
Another pause. Dr. J. DeVoss takes down some notes on a paper.
SCP-XXXX: How long will she be held, or is my imprisonment here unending as well?
Dr. J. DeVoss: You are… It will likely be indefinite.
SCP-XXXX:- For what reason this is to be, and how?
Dr. J. DeVoss: It’s our…goal. Our purpose. We are here to make sure that things like you are kept away from the world, for any number of reasons. As for how, you’ll be in this cell.
SCP-XXXX: I understand, and she will outlive your kind.
Dr. J. DeVoss: I had some uh… A rustling of papers some questions for you.
SCP-XXXX: She grows tired of speaking, but I will give you some of the answers you seek.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Your ability, your auto-insemination: have you always been able to perform it?
SCP-XXXX: She has brought life without consequence since before she can remember, but she cannot bring such things forth any longer. Not with ease.
Dr. J. DeVoss: But you just this morning produced two more SC-… you birthed two more creatures.
SCP-XXXX: What life is brought within this place surely dies, and can hardly live at all.
Dr. J. DeVoss: I see. What about your augmentations? How long have you had them?
SCP-XXXX: She was given them recently, and they have plagued her since then unendingly. From them came a flesh without form, beauty, love, or aspiration. That only bears a burning hunger for more, and I hate her for being this.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Recently meaning months ago? Years?
SCP-XXXX: Many of your generations ago she received the first of the changes, but some were as young as you seem. Those corruptions which are within her are ancient, and some are older than these words. The first of these was her, and my, original sin.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Who gave them to you?
SCP-XXXX: He that broke their chains, and struck down the ██████. Ion. He was the first, but not the last.
There is a silence in the room as Dr. DeVoss writes notes.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Who was the last?
SCP-XXXX: A fact which no longer matters, and to which I can barely explain.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Can you describe them?
SCP-XXXX:- They were un-flesh, like the things they placed upon or within her. Anathema to those that gave her original sin, yet at the same time a mirror to them.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Could you explain-
SCP-XXXX:- I cannot, as she tires. I will answer only one more of your questions, and > then you will leave her and I alone.
Dr. J. DeVoss: I, uh… You keep saying “she” and “her”, but also “me” and “I.” Why?
SCP-XXXX: I am not this disgusting abomination, only inexorably trapped within what remains of her. I was her once, but now I can only separate myself from her in the hopes that there is a piece remaining after this life has ended.
Dr. J. DeVoss:: An afterlife you mean?
SCP-XXXX: That was your last, and now she will rest. I, with her. Hatred is taxing poison.
Dr. J. DeVoss: I have a lot more to ask you.
There is silence in the room, interrupted only by the sound of the biomechanics of SCP-XXXX.
Dr. J. DeVoss:: It is imperative that we determine what happened during your recovery Operation. There are a number of discrepancies we have with the stories of the men who brought you here.
SCP-XXXX does not respond. Dr. J. DeVoss sighs.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Will you at the very least give me a name I can call you so that we can speak again in the future?
SCP-XXXX does not respond.
Dr. J. DeVoss: Please.
SCP-XXXX does not respond. Dr. J. DeVoss stands from her seat and moves to leave the room.
SCP-XXXX: Anahita.

Closing Statement: Dr. J. DeVoss was given a mild written reprimand by the containment team lead for her conduct during this interview. It was later rescinded by Site Director Lucrezia Tamburino following a review of the file, and a meeting with the containment team, and subsequent success of her interrogation style in following interviews.
Concerning the difficulty that may be presented from SCP-XXXX, I am providing authorization for a limited breach of protocol waiver for interactions with SCP-XXXX from all personnel. This waiver is to include and is strictly limited to and for the purpose(s) of:
1. The purposes of gaining compliance from SCP-XXXX
2. Gaining information regarding Operation M26 Heavy.
3. Determining the origins, abilities, purpose, and history of SCP-XXXX and its various anomalous attributes.
The rapid ascertainment of the lattermost of these is of priority for the continued security of Site 77 and all other Foundation assets against the Church of the Broken God and Sarcik-aligned groups.
This waiver is conditional, and comes with the requirement that all personnel associated with the SCP-XXXX containment team be gradually phased out of rotation at Site 77, and a new team assigned to its containment to keep in line with protocols regarding fraternization with sapient/sentient SCP entities.
Site 77 Director
Dr. Lucrezia Tamburino
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. J. DeVoss
Foreword: A week following the previous interview, Dr. DeVoss was tasked with interviewing SCP-XXXX again to determine what occurred during Operation M26 Heavy to result in the disappearance of Specialist Tristain W. Schaeffer, and to divulge further information on her specific origins. Dr. DeVoss was given explicit clearance to refer to SCP-XXXX by its requested designation to further these goals. Dr. DeVoss was also encouraged to determine the history of the augmentations made to SCP-XXXX.

<BEGIN INTERVIEW LOG>
Dr. DeVoss: Good morning.
SCP-XXXX: So the child returns. Doubtlessly to grasp at forbidden fruits.
Dr. DeVoss: “Doubtlessly.”
SCP-XXXX turns its head to Dr. DeVoss, appearing to look up and down her person.
SCP-XXXX: You think yourself superior, and mock me in assertion.
Dr. DeVoss: Not at all. After our conversation last week, I decided it would be best to give you the dignity that you asked for.
SCP-XXXX: At what cost to her or I?
Dr. DeVoss: I don’t think it’ll be anything you didn’t already expect. I think you know, based on what you said last time, that you’re not going to leave here. And if you had the ability to, you would have already. I’ll treat you humanely, as long as you give the same to me.
SCP-XXXX nods gently.
SCP-XXXX: You are alike and apart from other captors: callous but not cruel.
Dr. DeVoss: Our goal isn’t cruelty. It’s to secure, contain, and protect.
SCP-XXXX: A mantra that has been spoken to us before, but goes unwitnessed. I will reserve judgement for now.
Dr. DeVoss: I’m sure that our field agents may have said it to you when they secured you.
SCP-XXXX: That they did. One of them, a Tristain, showed to me a kindness now rare in you. He was unlike much of his half which I have before encountered. Not unique, but of a better archetype among the warriors she and I have encountered.
Dr. DeVoss: I was actually hoping you could tell me more about him. About where he is or what might’ve happened to him.
SCP-XXXX turns away from Dr. DeVoss, and is silent for a few moments.
SCP-XXXX: I can tell you of him, but know that such information will condemn a decent man. He made as much clear to me, and there is a debt I owe to him which she is unable to repay.
Dr. DeVoss: So you won’t tell me where Specialist Schaeffer is, or what happened?
SCP-XXXX: I will tell you what he did for she and I, but not where he has gone.
Dr. DeVoss: Why not?
SCP-XXXX:* “Why” is a question of the universe and all things.
Dr. DeVoss: Then what is the reason for you not telling me?
SCP-XXXX: My telling you would undo his efforts to end her. I shall never find release from the prison that is her otherwise.
Dr. DeVoss: I’m guessing that if she, your body, is killed, then you can move to another body?
SCP-XXXX: A half-truth, but no part falsehood.Dr. DeVoss: It’s safe to say, then, that Specialist Schaeffer is helping you to get a new body somehow?
SCP-XXXX: Schaeffer is a man uncorrupted by the basal urges of his half. For this, I allowed him a glimpse of what she once was. An exchange was made of flesh and promise.
Dr. DeVoss: You’re beginning to speak in riddles again.
SCP-XXXX: You seem intelligent enough to comprehend them, nonetheless.Dr. DeVoss: Alright. So say I am. Would it be wrong of me to then assume that the flesh was a child, and the promise was safety?
SCP-XXXX: To “secure, contain, and protect” is his goal, but his allegiance may have wavered somewhat.Dr. DeVoss: Specialist Schaeffer has an impeccable six year record, though. Over a dozen field deployments, no disciplinary actions, nothing to suggest-
SCP-XXXX: The question you should be asking me is not “did Tristain betray us,” but instead what moved him so decidedly against your dogma that he would worship a new God.
Dr. DeVoss takes a series of notes, then sighs before turning back to SCP-XXXX.
Dr. DeVoss: A god of what, then?
SCP-XXXX: You know my name.
Dr. DeVoss: You also said last time that it was one of many.
**SCP-XXXX:” That I did.
Dr. DeVoss pulls back several papers on her clipboard, and begins reading off from a page.
Dr. DeVoss: Yes, and I am guessing that in addition to “Anahita”, you have been known as “Mokosh,” “Kuanyin,” “Ixchel,” “Venus,” “Ishtar,” “Akna,” and “Danu.” Just to name a few.
**SCP-XXXX:” Venus was a Roman invention, and I was never fond of Ishtar. But those that called me Danu and Ixchel knew of me best. The followers of “Mokosh” held too much favor with Ion for my tastes.
Dr. DeVoss: Goddess of Fertility.
SCP-XXXX: You come close to raising truth, and instead adopt its bastard sibling.
Dr. DeVoss: My research is wrong?
SCP-XXXX: Your knowledge is not wrong, but among the litany of half-truths you are so disposed to.
Dr. DeVoss: Then will you give me a whole truth?
SCP-XXXX is silent for a few moments.
SCP-XXXX: Perhaps you can gather upon what I spoke to you of my original sin when last we met.
Dr. DeVoss: Or you could just tell me.SCP-XXXX: You forget your place. Our relation is at my discretion, not your own. At any moment I can dispose her to silence, and you will turn to dust before hearing further from me.
Dr. DeVoss: So you’re sending me on a scavenger hunt for your amusement?
SCP-XXXX: I would have you challenge your perception of this world within which your half has become oppressed by powers that once were your lesser.
Dr. DeVoss: Again with the riddles.
SCP-XXXX: Malignant ignorance. We are finished until you deliver to me the correct answer.
Dr. DeVoss: So I’m not getting anything else out of you today?
SCP-XXXX does not respond. After a few seconds, Dr. DeVoss sighs.

Closing Statement: Following this interview, SCP-XXXX refused to interact with any other personnel on site. As of the interview, Specialist Schaeffer remained unaccounted for, but Site 77’s Director made the decision to act on the information gained from the interview, and efforts were put forth to locate Specialist Schaeffer using MTF Gamma Iota in field operations, in concert with regional efforts.
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. J. DeVoss
Foreword: On 26/11/1999, two days after SCP-XXXX’s second interview with Dr. DeVoss, personnel entered its containment cell to perform routine removal of a mechanical construct it had birthed that day. During this time, SCP-XXXX exercised its secondary anomalous effect to attempt to incapacitate personnel, and facilitate a containment breach. The containment team immediately enacted appropriate containment procedures by locking down the annex in which SCP-XXXX was contained, and extracting the incapacitated personnel from the cell. During the breach attempt, two personnel were injured and one was killed and partially consumed by SCP-XXXX.
Dr. DeVoss was briefed on the event, and given instructions to accelerate the gathering of information from SCP-XXXX that would lead to the recovery or capture of Specialist Tristain Schaeffer, his whereabouts, or further information concerning Operation M26 Heavy. Dr. DeVoss was given a one month deadline by Site 77 Director Tamburino before communication attempts with SCP-XXXX were to be halted owing to a clear and expressed desire to breach containment.
At the scheduled time of the interview, the containment team reported that SCP-XXXX was undergoing one of her usual, rapidly-progressing pregnancies, but that it was taking an uncharacteristically long period of time for the offspring to mature. Dr. DeVoss decided that it was safe to proceed with the interview, but ordered the team to be ready for another attempt at a containment breach.
Time and Date of Interview: 08:40 03/12/1999
<BEGIN INTERVIEW LOG>
As Dr. DeVoss enters the cell, SCP-XXXX is laying on the floor. Its abdominal augmentation is noticeably distended.
Dr. DeVoss: You had an interesting week.
SCP-XXXX: A failure among many others. Do not insult me, as she is in distress at present and I can scarcely manage both of you at once.
Dr. DeVoss: You’re pretty quick to assume I’m trying to hurt or insult you, you know?
SCP-XXXX groans in discomfort.
SCP-XXXX: I have little reason to assume elsewise of you and your kind; she is a monstrosity due to the efforts of your tribes. The pain she now forces me to endure is sourced from your squabbling over the throne rights of my dead contemporaries.
Dr. DeVoss: Anahita, I need you to help me piece some things together. I need to know where Schaeffer is, and I need a straight answer on what you are.
SCP-XXXX: You never told me your name.
Dr. DeVoss: I didn’t.
SCP-XXXX: I have known you only to be my thread of sanity and her captor in these days she has laid here.
SCP-XXXX groans loudly, and clutches tightly at the mass within her abdomen.
Dr. DeVoss: Janis.
SCP-XXXX: A name for a woman.
Dr. DeVoss: I mean, I’m not a boy.
SCP-XXXX: And for that, you have a power which no man could imagine holding.
Dr. DeVoss: What is it that stops you from just speaking to me plainly? I’ve spent all of maybe twenty minutes with you in the last two weeks and you just talk circles around me.
SCP-XXXX: Do not test my patience, Janis. She ails, but I will remember your transgressions. Think harder to whom you are speaking.
Dr. DeVoss: Then be direct! You’ve injured two members of my team, eaten most of a third one, and now you expect me to be just as cordial as before?
SCP-XXXX groans again, clearly in pain.
SCP-XXXX: What did your research tell you? What answer do you have to give me?
Dr. DeVoss sighs, frustrated.
Dr. DeVoss: Goddess of women. Patron goddess of women.
SCP-XXXX nods slightly, still clutching at its abdomen.
SCP-XXXX: You are beginning to see the truth of things.
Dr. DeVoss: Frankly, I don’t really care. What I do care about is whether or not you will attempt to escape again, and what happened to Specialist Schaeffer.
SCP-XXXX: You do not care? You find a lack of import to the fact that I am the mother of your being? Of your half? That I gave to you the-
Dr. DeVoss: I need an answer from you about Schaeffer, Anahita.
SCP-XXXX: Truly, do I hold no further-
Dr. DeVoss: No! I don’t care! You don’t understand where you are, or what position you are in! You could be the patron God of comfortable bras for all I care! But you don’t understand that my concern begins and ends with being able to figure out what you are, why the Church and Sarkites shoved over two hundred pounds of spare parts into your body, and the whereabouts of Specialist Schaeffer. That’s it. Give me answers, or I’m going to strap you to a metal gurney while we feed you through a tube and toss your children into an incinerator for the rest of time.
There is a long silence.
SCP-XXXX: She should never have consorted with your kind.
Dr. DeVoss: This is your last chance. I don’t have patience for you anymore.
SCP-XXXX is silent, save for groans of pain.
Dr. DeVoss: We’re done, then. We’ll wrap this up without you.

Closing Statement: Three hours following the interview, SCP-XXXX gave birth to an anthropoidal, organic SCP-XXXX-B instance which proceeded to attempt to breach containment, severely damaging the door to the cell and fracturing the glass on the observation booth. SCP-XXXX was catatonic for several hours following the birth of this entity. The containment team assigned dispatched the entity with small arms fire, which proved effective. However, the final report on the containment breach attempt described the entity as being “resistant but not impervious” to conventional force.
