Item #: SCP-1111
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-1111 is to be kept in a 10x10x10 Grade 17 facility concrete chamber at Site ██. Concrete is to be checked and replaced regularly to avoid structural damage due to SCP-1111's current active state. Security personnel are to guard the chamber to prevent access to any researcher below Level 4 per Site ██'s security protocol 17
Access is forbidden to any personnel who fail to pass a full background check of previous designated SCPs that have experienced █ class incidents, or have authorized D-class lethal testing, regardless of whether amnesiacs were ingested either mandatorily or voluntarily
All personnel must pass a psych examination specifically identifying traits associated with a belief in a Judaeo-Christian god any religion, and/or hyper-empathy using the guidelines of the Briggs-Conrad empathy evaluation method. Any person who scores a ██ or above in the method or self identifies as religious in any definition is forbidden from entering the chamber at any time. The chamber must be soundproofed and sightproofed. All personnel are to use only the closed circuit security cameras to see SCP-1111, and may only communicate to it through a second person who has passed all of the necessary checks.
Description:
When in its neutral state (designated SCP-1111-A), SCP-1111 is a collection of kitchen knives of varying size and shape, from brands including well known names such as ███████, █████ and ████████ ██ ███. When someone who matches the correct profile1 approaches or picks up a knife from SCP-1111-A, they are able to use the knives like any ordinary utensil. All materials within SCP-1111-A will act as they are scientifically supposed to: for example, knives with wooden handles will burn when exposed to fire, whereas knives with plastic handles will melt and emit fumes normally associated with burning plastic. The metal of the knives itself does not appear to take damage from any kind of usual method, defying even being sharpened - as a result, most of the knives in SCP-1111-A are blunt enough that they can be rubbed against delicate materials without cutting them.
When SCP-1111 enters its active state (dubbed SCP-1111-B), the knives will draw together and form the shape of a winged humanoid 8.2 meters tall. The knives do not appear to be stuck together by any substance but instead through an unknown gravitation, weak enough that individual knives can be pulled away by an average human arm, but strong enough that the structure does not collapse. This shape can walk freely, albeit slowly due to the shifting nature of the knives, and can produce sound from within that to create a voice. Test subjects have identified the voice as male, female, or totally neutral, due to its medium register.
SCP-1111-B is activated when SCP-1111 is touched by or hears the voice of someone who does not meet its criteria. Upon activation, SCP-1111-B will seek to approach the person, though it will not damage objects or walls to reach attempting to destroy any materials which stand between it and its desired subject. Upon reaching the subject, a short dialogue will ensue2, after which the SCP will seek to embrace the subject. At this point, the knives will have sharpened through untested means, enough to cause harm to the subject through superficial dermal cuts, more serious wounds, or [REDACTED].
During the dialogue there does not seem to be an answer which will prevent this from happening, nor does there seem to be a way to prevent SCP-1111-B from embracing its subject aside from moving them to another, secure room. SCP-1111-B only stops it pursuit when it has deemed that the subject has been "harmed enough". After this has been achieved, SCP-1111-B will collapse and revert to SCP-1111-A until its next activation.
Discovery:
Foundation staff first discovered SCP 1111 after receiving an alert about anomalous criminal activity from [EXPUNGED] in ██████████, UK. The following report detailed a rise in apparently religiously motivated ritual [REDACTED] injuring or killing ███ people between ██-██-20██ and ██-██-20██. Foundation staff were alerted by the consistent cause of death: loss of blood due to micro- and macro-dermal tears, stab wounds and lacerated [REDACTED] the presence of a [REDACTED] carved into the victims skin.
SCP 1111 was finally captured as it navigated █████████ Park in an attempt to embrace a victim, a Mr. █████ ██████ who later died in critical care due to blood loss and other injuries. The entity was then transferred to Site ██ for Containment.
Due to the high profile nature of the fatalities, local press had already reported the incidents. All victims and witnesses were administered appropriate amnesiacs while the story was spread as a [REDACTED] who had committed suicide before being apprehended.
DOCUMENT #XX-1: Testing Transcript
All tests were authorised and overseen by Researcher Dr. K ███████████.
A D-class subject was instructed to enter the chamber and pick up a knife from SCP-1111-A to cut a vegetable3.
Test 1
Researcher: Dr. K.
Test subject: D-33627
It should be noted that D-33627 had requested cleric service several times during her detainment at Site ██.D-class enters the chamber. Dr K observes from a window bay, relaying instructions through a microphone and speakers within SCP 1111's chamber.
DR. K: Please approach the knives, D-33627.
D-CLASS: Alright. Gimme a second. Shit, I think it moved.
DR. K: Please approach the knives.
D-CLASS: I'm approached, calm down. Now what.
DR. K: Pick up a knife. Any knife will do.The D-class picks up a blue plastic handled knife. Motion is seen in SCP-1111-A, but it does not enter its active phase.
D-CLASS: I'm guessing you want me to slice this potato.
DR. K: That is correct. Well done.
D-CLASS: Whatever. You want me to peel it or what.D-33627 attempts to cut the potato, before dropping it in disgust.
D-CLASS: It's blunt. I can't cut it.
DR. K: Try a different knife.D-33627 picks up another knife. SCP-1111-A remains motionless. This time, D-class cuts the potato in half with some difficulty.
D-CLASS: It's a little better. You want me to keep going?
DR. K: Yes.
D-CLASS: Peeled enough potatoes back at the <unintelligible>D-33627 peels the whole potato and cuts it into uneven chunks for ten minutes. Nothing else happens. Test terminated.
Test 2
Researcher: Dr. K.
Subject: D-08711
D-08711 had once been convicted for manslaughter after hitting a pedestrian with his getaway car. He had also made use of Site ██'s clerical services.D-CLASS: So I pick up a knife and cut this potato?
DR. K: That is correct. You may pick any knife.
D-CLASS: Alright, lesse… gonna go with this big bastard here.D-08711 picks up a fairly large bread knife with a wooden handle. As soon as he does, SCP-1111-A begins to enter its active phase, slowly forming into SCP-1111-B. D-08711 drops the knife.
D-CLASS: What the hell! They're moving!
DR. K: Don't worry, '11, this is perfectly normal.
D-CLASS: It's forming some kind of - pile? <unintelligible> damn it's a fucking angel! What-When SCP-1111-B finishes forming, it begins speaking, interrupting D-08711.
SCP 1111: Child of flesh, come closer. This is what I am and what you are. Let me feel your hand in mine.
D-CLASS: What the hell is this? It's coming towards me boss, do I stay still or run?
DR. K: Stay still, '11. It won't hurt you.
D-CLASS: You lying?
SCP 1111: Alone in your room at night, curled tight around your foetal cotton, sending up prayers to a nameless ear that listens but never speaks, didn't you beg? Come here, let me beg for you.
D-CLASS: It's even closer now - yeah, I'm running boss. Let me out.
DR. K: If you attempt to leave the chamber, I will be forced to ask security terminate you, '11.
D-CLASS: You lying. You lying. Damn it.
SCP 1111: You saw her eyes, flash wide, and they saw God. You saw how she crumpled. Wasn't it so terribly easy and so awfully difficult, and you knew what would come after. I come after. I am her eyes, staring in yours. Isn't this what you prayed for?
D-CLASS: How - how'd you know about that? How'd you…
SCP 1111: Your hands become the blade, and you reap and reap and reap. Enter in me. Your penitance is my arms.
D-CLASS: Get me out of here, boss! It's cornered me - [DATA EXPUNGED] off, you freak- [DATA EXPUNGED]SCP-1111-B successfully embraces D-08711. D-08711 is blocked from view by SCP-1111-B's large wings, until the SCP reverts back to its neutral state, falling as loose knives on the floor, to reveal D-08711 [REDACTED] blood loss due to ████ superficial cuts to the skin and [REDACTED].
Test terminated.
*ADDENDUM I: RESEARCHER'S NOTE
Every time we send in a D-class, this thing starts spewing its usual pseudo-religious nonsense. My bets are that it's just searching around for whatever will make its victim submit, since it adapts its lexis to whatever belief the subject seems to have, give or take its weird obsession with hugs. Plus it seems to have a real thing for vengeance. I'm going to test the parameters and see what really sets it off.
- Dr. K.
DOCUMENT #XX-2: Further Test Logs
SUBJECT: D-65████ was detained for three counts of second degree murder. Self identified as "kinda Christian but not really". Expressed some remorse for her crimes, and a wish to "make right for [her] wrongs".
PROCEDURE: Subject was instructed to slice a potato with SCP 1111.
RESULT: SCP-1111-B embraced D-65██ resulting in three fatal stab wounds, but no superficial cuts.
Notes: Interesting. I was right about the need for vengeance. I wonder if the subject's conscience has anything to do with it. Let's try amnesiacs. Can't have a guilty conscience if you can't remember. - Dr. K.
SUBJECT: D-36████ was detained for one count of first degree murder, scoring a high index on the Briggs-Conrad personality test. After administration of amnesiacs, their personality score lowered slightly, but all signs of remorse or trauma were completely unidentifiable.
PROCEDURE: Subject was instructed to slice a potato with SCP 1111.
RESULT: SCP-1111-B embraced D-36██ resulting in a fatal stab wound and thousands of superficial cuts. The process of deactivating SCP 1111 was noted to take a full three minutes longer than last time.
*Notes: This thing doesn't even forgive memory loss. If you did it, you did it, and that's it. Talk about absolute. - Dr. K.
INCIDENT LOG #1111-██-██-20██-i
On ██/██/20██, Junior Researcher V████ H██████ entered SCP 1111's test chamber to retrieve D-36████'s [REDACTED]. Mr. H██████ was noted to be Orthodox Jewish with a high commitment to his faith and an unusually high scoring on the Briggs-Conrad empathy test. He had previously worked on Safe SCPs with a clean fatality record. Upon hearing his voice, SCP-1111-B activated and started approaching him.
INCIDENT TRANSCRIPT #1111-██-██-20██-i
MR. H: It's moving! The SCP is moving! I thought it was only activated by touch!
DR. K: Get out of there, V████. This is anomalous behaviour and I cannot guarantee your safety.
MR. H: It really does look like an angel. Hurry up and unlock the doors, I'll try and lead it away for now.
SCP 1111: It's been so lonely. So terribly lonely. There is no warmth, no answer, only questions. Would you leave me here?
DR. K: Unlocking doors in three seconds. Keep moving, V████.
MR. H: You're… lonely? Is that what you're saying?
SCP 1111: Didn't you look into the sunrise and feel the smallness, the nothingness of being, each grain of sand? Weren't you knit together from sinew while I formed from the spikes of your bones?
DR. K: Doors are unlocked. Get out now.
MR. H: Wait. Wait. We can interview it.
DR. K: Negative. Get out of there.
SCP 1111: I know how your mother smelled, and she smelled of sweet cake and talcum powder. Abomination. I was borne of your sin. You came first, and I come after.
DR. K: Get out now.
MR. H: Mum? You're talking about my mother?
SCP 1111: I started this, and I will end it.
MR. H: It's talking about my mother!
DR. K: V████, leave. Leave now.
SCP 1111: I only wish I could see you graduate.
MR. H: I'm here! You can see me now, mami. I'm right here!SCP 1111 embraced Junior Researcher V████ H██████, causing light cuts [REDACTED] deep into the chest [DATA EXPUNGED]. Dr. K proceeded to enact usual minor incident protocol without incident.
INCIDENT LOG #1111-██-██-20██-ii
On ██-██-20██, SCP-1111 entered into its active phase without tactile or audio stimulation. SCP-1111-B proceeded to walk slowly across the containment area floor until it reached a wall, where it began to use its knives to try and damage the containment area.
Onsite security detail quickly secured the area, enacting a Code ██-34a "Aisle Block" to contain SCP-1111-B.
As of yet, the entity is yet to revert back to SCP-1111-A.
INCIDENT APPENDIX #1111-██-██-20██-ii
Note:
It's me. It's after me. I was looking down into the chamber when it activated, and it looked right up at me with those empty metal eyes. God, of course it is, of course sending all the D-class in for testing counts for something with it. I thought I was safe because I didn't believe in anything, didn't have any hooks for it to claw to, but this thing's always going to be after me now. Wherever I go, whatever I do.
I heard it. Why isn't it showing up on the security footage? It asked me if I really believed that.
It asked me if I really believed that I didn't believe anything.
- Dr. K.
