SCP-XXXX

"Original Sin", "Black Oenpelli"

Conspectus

This article concerns the potential applications of anomalous object SCP-XXXX and its potential value to The Serpent's Hand. The object appears to possess the ability to control the cognitive actions of individuals of a certain psychological makeup. The psychological profile it targets matches those of most Serpent's Hand operatives and Foundation Class-D personnel. If our organisation is able to manipulate the object's abilities, we will be able to infiltrate the Foundation (or any other body), completely untraceable, as there is no way to identify a sub-anomaly of SCP-XXXX from a regular individual. Thus, this object possesses great value to The Serpent's Hand, and has the potential to further advance our influence.

Knowledge

Traits: Appears to be physically indestructible, though tests of this nature are not conclusive. The entity resembles a large Oenpelli python, except for its completely matte black eyes.

Nature: Seemingly highly intelligent, though no conclusive information on the object's motives exists. The object appears to not be physically aggressive to any individual.

History & Associated Parties: Originally located in an unknown cave in west Arnhem Land, Australia. The Foundation is the only body to have associated with the object at current.

Approach: Approach in the entity's blind spots at all times. The object offers little physical resistance, and is to be captured in the same manner as any other large Serpentine reptilian.

Other Detail: No other detail to note.

Observations & Stories

The following is ripped from Foundation documents, leaked by an anonymous, previously non-associated informant within the facility.

  • Upon entering the direct view of SCP-XXXX, the test individual will appear to enter a trance. The individual will relax their posture into a hunched stance and begin to move towards the entity. The eyes of the individual will not shut for the duration of this movement.
  • Upon entering a distance of 1m from SCP-XXXX, the individual will immediately collapse, and appears to immediately enter REM sleep. The entity will then fixate upon the individual.
  • Once fixated upon the individual, SCP-XXXX will begin to speak. No vibrations of the entity's trachea have been observed, so there is no current anatomical explanation for this ability. No descriptions of the entity's voice have been recorded, as all tested individuals were immediately [REDACTED] after their experience with SCP-XXXX and the subject's voice is apparently impossible to record using current microphone equipment available to the Foundation.
  • After a period of no less than 11 hours, the individual (from now on referred to as SCP-XXXX-1) will violently wake from their sleep, and begin immediately attempting to destroy the closest inanimate object. SCP-XXXX-1 has even been observed to attempt to dig through the walls of SCP-XXXX's containment cell and rip out their teeth, hair and nails in an observed blind rage.
  • Once another individual has been introduced to the containment cell, SCP-XXXX-1 will immediately begin assaulting the individual, focusing their assault upon the eyes and face of the individual. Once the individual has been killed, SCP-XXXX-1 appears to place the individual's eyes into the eyes of SCP-XXXX, which then absorbs the individuals eyes into its own.
  • After this ritualistic behaviour, SCP-XXXX will proceed to coil around and [REDACTED] SCP-XXXX-1, who will offer no resistance. However, █ instances have been recorded in which SCP-XXXX will voluntarily return to its containment pillar, and allow the individual to apparently exit its trance. Immediate questioning of the individual reveal that they were merely following the instructions of SCP-XXXX. However, as soon as the individual references SCP-XXXX, they will re-enter their previous blind rage, and attempt to assault their interviewer. All █ of these individuals have been [REDACTED] immediately after their return to this state, with █ casualties being recorded as a result of the individuals' behaviour.

Doubt

It is unsure whether the object can be controlled, as all attempts by Foundation personnel to reason with the entity have failed.
