Item #:
SCP-XXXX
Object Class:
'Euclid' "Safe"

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to remain within a standard humanoid living containment area with all instances of XXXX-1. A single gaurd is to remain outside containment entrance at all times and personnel, outside of XXXX-1, are to follow "White-Noise Protocol" before entering. Any personnel may be allowed to exit containment area without possession of SCP-XXXX.

White-Noise Protocol:
All personnel must wear noise-cancelling headphones, with any continuous sound (including: music, nature sounds, white noise, etc) playing at highest volume setting, before entering and must keep them on until they have exited the containment area.

Description:
SCP-XXXX resembles a candlestick style antique telephone with a circular base 7cm in diameter with a 25cm cylindrical neck where a mouth piece (microphone) is attached at the top. Just below the mouth piece is a 20cm long wire attaching the ear piece (speaker) to the unit. The ear piece rests on a toggle attached three quarters the way up the side of the unit. Upon examination, SCP-XXXX has no internal components.

All attempts to disassemble SCP-XXXX resulted in the smaller parts becoming dust after approximately five minutes and a new object will "grow" from the largest piece, resulting in an identical version of the original object. Any new version of SCP-XXXX appear to be identical to any previous version with no variation. Any attempt to intentionally break SCP-XXXX have had similar results.

Known History:
SCP-XXXX was acquired by foundation Field Agent-355 on 06/27/REDACTED, from a Victorian Style office building in REDACTED, Louisiana, USA. After property owners complained online about a "disturbing sound" that kept them from surveying newly purchased property. Under a false identity, as Animal Rescue, Field Agent-355 acquired SCP-XXXX and returned to foundation site #XX speaking unknown language on 06/28/REDACTED.

Description XXXX-1:
Any personnel that have previously interacted with SCP-XXXX and subsequently speak only in unknown language. Any instance of XXXX-1 must be given SCP-XXXX authorization identification tags that are to be visible on clothing, at all times.

Object Class: "Euclid"
If SCP-XXXX remains isolated for a period of approximately twenty-four (24) hours then the nearest non-isolated phone will ring, until answered or unless the phone goes unanswered for an additional twenty-four (24) hours. This process will repeat until a phone is answered. How SCP-XXXX is able to reach other phones is unknown.

If SCP-XXXX is in a room with at least one instance of XXXX-1, the individual would apparently hear the phone ring and proceed to answer the phone speaking in an unknown language. This continues to occur at approximately the same time everyday.

SCP-XXXX effects anyone in the room with the object. Subjects report hearing the telephone ring. All attempts to answer the telephone have resulted in subjects speaking in an unknown language.
