Item #: SCP-5021
Object Class: THAUMIEL [under review for Keter classification]
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5021 is to be kept within a standard humanoid containment cell at site-06-3. SCP-5021 can only be transported with written approval from level 3 faculty or higher. SCP-5021 is to be blindfolded using a specially constructed light cancelling visor before leaving containment. Under no circumstances should they be removed before SCP-5021 re-enters containment. A class II set of humanoid magnetic restriction cuffs is to be secured to SCP-5021’s wrists during transportation. No fewer than three guards are to monitor and ensure the safe transportation of SCP-5021. No communication is to be had with SCP-5021 without strict security personnel supervision.
In the event that SCP-5021's visor is broken security personnel are to face it towards the wall until a new visor can be supplied by faculty. SCP-5021 will often show no resistance when forced to face the corner. However if any personnel are affected by SCP-5021 before facing the wall they will become what is currently referred to as SCP-5021-2 and is to be immediately removed for therapy or possible extermination. SCP-5021 will only return to a docile state upon eliminating possible threats or when it finds itself significantly outnumbered.
To ensure the ongoing containment of SCP-5021 there is to be no testing or procedures of any kind without subjects involved meeting with SCP-5021 in advance to ensure their safety. Any requests from SCP-5021 are to be carried out with permission from level 3 faculty or higher. SCP-5021 does not seem to need food but often requests a bottle of red wine. This is to be granted once a week as long as SCP-5021 continues to cooperate.
Containment Location Update: SCP-5021 has been relocated due to a large rain storm in ■■■■■■. Until water damage sustained at site-06-3 can be repaired SCP-5021 will be contained on site-19 in research sector-02 until further notice.
Containment Procedure Update: It has become apparent that SCP-5021 could easily use his abilities on foundation staff despite safety measures taken. As a result SCP-5021's containment unit has been modified to have no way of looking in or out. SCP-5021 is to be watched by cameras inside the containment unit at all times. SCP-5021 is to be wearing its visor at all times outside of containment and not just while being transported.
Description: SCP-5021 is physically a coucasion male that is 1.82 meters in height. It wears a black suit and tie and a black fedora. SCP-5021 has no facial features besides it's eyes which subjects reported to be a luminescent yellow. SCP-5021 sounds and hears normally despite its lack of ears and mouth.
SCP-5021 will stare into their victims eyes causing them to hallucinate. The subjects questioned told scientists that SCP-5021's skin had shed like a snake revealing a loved one of the subject underneath. Although none of these characteristics appear in photos or on CCTV security during these events.
In the form of the subjects loved one SCP-5021 will tell the subject to follow their instructions. If they agree they will either become an instance of SCP-5021-2 or will die immediately one hundred percent of the time. However if they disagree, the loved one in front of them will appear to die in what subjects report to be the most horrific thing they have ever seen. They will then fall into a deep depression and in eighty percent of cases will attempt suicide until they succeed. The other twenty percent will show signs of recovery after months of therapy. Instances of SCP-5021-2 will do whatever SCP-5021 requires without question. If they fail their task they too will become depressed and attempt suicide until successful.
Addendum 5021.1: Discovery
SCP-5021 was discovered in the small town of ■■■■■■■ in Italy. Foundation officials tracked it down to a small vineyard where it was found that multiple cases of SCP-5021-2 were controlling the farm's functions. SCP-5021 was found inside a nearby farm house trying the various wines that the instances of SCP-5021-2 were making. Upon being contained by Foundation officials SCP-5021 told a nearby instance of SCP-5021-2 to continue operations as it would soon return. SCP-5021 then went willingly with foundation officials to outpost ■■■■■■ before being taken to site-06-3. Currently the vineyard is surrounded by Foundation security to keep anyone from interrupting the productivity of the farm as doing so will cause an attack from nearby cases of SCP-5021-2.
The following interview was conducted by Dr. Edward Wilkins upon arrival at site-06-3.
Interviewer: Dr. Edward Wilkins
Interviewee: SCP-5021
SCP-5021: what is this place you've taken me to Edward? (Looks around the room)
Dr. Wilkins: well it's… how do you know my name exactly?
SCP-5021: your eyes tell a story Edward and it's a rather interesting one.
Dr. Wilkins: you can read memories through the eyes?
SCP-5021: yes of course (leans back in it's chair).
Dr. Wilkins: alright then, what about all those people on your vineyard? None of them seem to acknowledge our security when approached.
SCP-5021: they are far too busy carrying out their tasks to acknowledge your brutes.
Dr. Wilkins: yes but they don't seem to even notice that they are there.
SCP-5021: they are loyal to me upon first glance, they will do as they're told and if they fail there will be dire consequences so they only focus on their tasks at hand.
Dr. Wilkins: what consequences?
SCP-5021: I grow tired of this conversation already Edward (stands up from chair). Show me to my room and please deliver a bottle of your finest wine.
Dr. Wilkins: I'm afraid wine isn't something we can offer you at this time. Please sit down I just need to ask a few more questions.
SCP-5021: No more of your silly questions, but may I ask one of you?
Dr. Wilkins: of course.
SCP-5021: What gives you people the right to say we deserve to be locked up in the darkness and studied while you all get to roam freely without care (gestures at the faculty around the room).
[END LOG]
Interviewer's note: SCP-5021 seems to be capable of reading the memories of whom it is in contact with. Although this should cause a sense of unease it instead causes one to have a strange feeling of calm.
In addition, SCP-5021 has revealed it has a craving for wine although it is unknown at this time how it drinks the wine. This should be taken into consideration as SCP-5021 appeared to be slightly irritated at the denial of the substance.
Addendum 5021.2: Incident report
In research sector-02 on ■/■/■■ SCP-5021 asked ■■■■ ■■■■■■■■ who was guarding the containment unit to bring him something to read. When the guard was later cornered by Foundation security he took out his gun and shot himself in the cranium having no way to complete his orders. SCP-5021 did not seem phased by this and asked faculty members for the book and a glass of red wine. Both requests were denied.
After Incident Interview ■/■/■■
Interviewer: Dr. Andrew McLaughlin
Interviewee: SCP-5021
SCP-5021: what could you possibly want…Andrew is it?
Dr. McLaughlin: Yes uh I have a few questions regarding you and an incident with a faculty member.
SCP-5021: And who would that be?
Dr. McLaughlin: the one guarding your containment unit.
SCP-5021: (pause) ah you mean ■■■■
Dr. McLaughlin: yes, you appeared to use some sort of hypnosis on him leading to his suicide.
SCP-5021: (laughs)
Dr. McLaughlin: you think this is funny?
SCP-5021: it's just that word you used um…hypnosis, it's not what I'm doing.
Dr. McLaughlin: then how did you make him listen to you?
SCP-5021: I showed him something he loved and I threatened to destroy it. When he failed me he watched it die and that must have made him so depressed that he killed himself.
Dr. McLaughlin: you gave him crippling depression?
SCP-5021: no you don't understand Andrew, I showed him the thing he loved most be taken away in a truly horrific manner. That could make anyone wish death upon themselves without my help. And if I wasn't struck in a concrete box all day maybe none of this would have happened.
Dr. McLaughlin: In the future please refrain from using your… abilities on faculty members or we will be forced to take more drastic measures.
SCP-5021: for now Andrew I will, but could someone please bring me some goddamn wine?
Dr. McLaughlin: I'll look into it.
[END LOG]
Interviewer's note: SCP-5021 seems to grow rather irritated of its containment. Extra measures may need to be taken in order to ensure it stays contained.
Addendum 5021.3: Observations Log 5021 ■/■/■■
Subject: SCP-5021
SCP-5021 spends a majority of its time in containment entertaining itself with the D-class offered for further research into its abilities. Through eye contact SCP-5021 makes the D-class subject's do various tasks including exchanging stories of outside the foundation which was done most often, discussing preferred wines, and when bored making the D-class drown themselves in the toilet. None of the subjects return from SCP-5021's containment the same as they are all either under the control of SCP-5021 and continue to tend to his every need or they come out in body bags after commiting suicide. Although a few have recovered after therapy.
Observation Log 5021 ■/■/■■
Subject: SCP-5021
SCP-096 had recently been relocated to site-19 after site-■■ was compromised. All SCPs were relocated to site-19 until a new location for site-■■ could be found. When SCP-096 was being transported a security guard made the fatal error of looking at SCP-096's face. SCP-096 then proceeded to kill them and make its way towards Research sector-02. It is interesting to note that SCP-096 killed multiple SCP's on its way but when SCP-5021 looked at SCP-096's face it was ignored. This is a first for SCP-096 and should be further investigated.
Observation Log 5021 ■/■/■■
Subject: SCP-5021
SCP-5021 has been introduced to multiple SCPs throughout the facilities it has been transported to for research purposes. It has been noted that any SCP that has sentients including SCP-096, SCP-173, SCP-2700, and SCP-682 will ignore SCP-5021 but will still attack anyone else that is nearby. However the recently discovered SCP-■■■■ will affect SCP-5021 just as everyone else experimented on and should be kept away from it.
Observation Log 5021 ■/■/■■
Subject: SCP-5021
Due to SCP-5021's abilities the foundation found that it would be best to have it conduct the required SCP interviews to prevent possible endangerment of faculty. During one of these interviews SCP-5021 was exposed to SCP-049. The following interview occurred.
Interviewer: SCP-5021
Interviewee: SCP-049
Overseer: Dr. Andrew McLaughlin
SCP-5021: so what are you exactly… and why the Halloween costume?
Dr. McLaughlin: (over the intercom) 5021 please stick to the script.
SCP-5021: yes sir (gives American salute).
SCP-049: are you a man of science?
SCP-5021: No I'm a guinea pig to these people, just like you.
Dr. McLaughlin: (over the intercom) read from the script 5021.
SCP-5021: *sighs* (in italian) do you understand italian my friend.
SCP-049: (in italian) I am fluent in it.
Dr. McLaughlin: (over the intercom) in English 5021 or I will send for a translator.
SCP-5021: (in italian) what is the pestilence my friend?
SCP-049: (in italian) The Pestilence, yes. It abounds outside these walls, you know. So many have succumbed, and many more will continue to, until such time as a perfect cure can be developed. (Leans back in its chair) Fortunately, I am very close. It is my duty in life to rid the world of it, you see. The Cure To End All Cures!
SCP-5021: (in italian) and those zombie things you create they seem quite similar to my…subjects.
Dr. McLaughlin: (over the intercom) that's it you have forced my hand, someone get me a translator.
SCP-049: (in Italian) They are part of my extensive research. Do you seek a cure for the pestilence as well?
SCP-5021: (in italian) no I just think my subjects make one hell of a glass of wine.
(Both laugh)
SCP-5021: (in italian) let's hope to speak again.
SCP-049: (in italian) agreed.
SCP-5021: You can cancel your translator Andrew I'm done here.
Interviewer's note: SCP-049 is a rather interesting fellow. I should conduct many more interviews with him in the best interests of this foundation. However it has come to my attention that Dr. McLaughlin is fairly hostile and a far too serious of an individual. This is rather surprising considering that the word laugh is right there in his name.
Overseer's note: SCP-5021 was considerably difficult during the session. It seemed to work well with all other SCP's interviewed so it's relation with SCP-049 should be further investigated.
Please refrain from reading SCP-5001's note as it does not further research in any sense.
Addendum 5021.4: Post Containment Breach Report ■/■/■■
SCP-5021 was contained within its cell when it tricked a guard into entering via playing dead. Soon after entering the containment unit SCP-5021 took control of the guard and used them to gain access to SCP-049's containment. The two SCPs then proceeded to put as many guards as they could under their control. This led to over fifty members of faculty becoming instances of SCP-049-2 and SCP-5021-2. Over the course of fifteen hours SCP-5021 commanded the instances of SCP-5021-2 and SCP-049-2 to get through the main Gates of the facility while SCP-049 took more faculty members for his "research". The instances of SCP-5021-2 and SCP-049-2 managed to pile on top of eachother and get to the top of the wall. SCP-5021 then proceeded to climb them to the top and make it to the other side before it stole a foundation vehicle and escaped. The vehicle was tracked down to ■■■■■■ three days later. Soon after SCP-5021 escaped an MTF unit arrived at the facility and shot down all instances of SCP-5021-2 and SCP-049-2 via helicopter. They then managed to recontain SCP-049 who did not attempt to flee the facility. As of now SCP-5021 is yet to be found but it will most likely attempt to return to his vineyard in Italy. All personnel based in the vineyard are to remain on high alert in the event that SCP-5021 returns. There is no solid lead on SCP-5021's current whereabouts at this time. However a squadron was dispatched after a report in Romania of a bar fight that took a turn for the paranormal. When interviewed the witnesses shared similar stories describing the characteristics of SCP-5021.
