Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: There's no available containment procedure due to its spacial ability. The object rejects to be contained. Considering its potential of large-scaled damage, any kind of contact should be authorized by staff with level 3 or above. Any personnel contacting SCP-XXXX without permission should undergo B-class amnestics. Any physical or psychological protection is not only unnecessary but with no use.
Description: SCP-XXXX was once thought to be another SCP-953 individual. However, the object has performed various characteristics distinguished from SCP-953; therefore, it is now seemed as another SCP. The relationship between SCP-XXXX and SCP-953 remains unknown.
SCP-XXXX has two (2) main appearances: humanoid and fox. Although SCP-XXXX can change its humanoid appearance easily, it mostly appears to be a young Chinese man or woman with a delicate face and well-maintained body figure. Interestingly, with highly matched descriptions as above among all the witnesses, portraits from different witnesses are, however, of high variety, even from two people witnessing the object at the same time. The fox form has never been recorded regardless of the fact that the fox form might have been seen. In very rare situations, the object was said to be a woman with nine fox tails, which is however the most performed image in most of the media speaking of "nine-tailed fox".
SCP-XXXX's nine tails, which are numbered from SCP-XXXX-I to SCP-XXXX-IX, have totally different abilities. (See Experiment XXXX-1 to Experiment XXXX-9.) As the object itself explained, the first five tails are symbols of the modern version of "Wu Xing (five elements)": jin (metal), mu (wood), shui (water), huo (fire), tu (soil / earth). Other tails have the abilities of either integrating the first five tails or possessing additional anomalies. All nine tails have totally the same appearance while not in use. It seems that the object knows much knowledge about its anomalies, but it refuses to tell much. Besides the tails, SCP-XXXX has another mysterious trait: 4-dimensional. To the object, the 4th dimension is not time, but the ability to bend the 3-dimensional space. The fact that SCP-XXXX can "control" the space makes it impossible to be contained.
First official record of SCP-XXXX was in ███████ Province, China in 2018. SCP-XXXX had known SCP Foundation already, and was willing to be interviewed. It was brought to ██████ to meet Dr. SCP-XXXX seemed harmless toward SCP Foundation, but showed indifference toward everything. SCP-XXXX fully understands what personnel say whatever language is used, but the object itself speaks in an unrecorded language that everyone can understand. If not reminded, personnel will not notice that SCP-XXXX is talking in a totally different language. Attempts to analyze the language have shown to be in vain.
Document XXXX-1: First interview transcript, ██/██/2018.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr.
Foreword: This interview was performed by Dr. when the subject was firstly brought to ██████. The following record has been written in English through the interviewer's understanding.
<Begin Log>
Dr.: Nice to meet you.
SCP-XXXX: Nice to meet you, too, Doctor.
Dr.: It is said that you are actually a nine-tailed fox which is commonly seen in Chinese legends.
SCP-XXXX: Yes, I am.
Dr.: Well, we have another one: SCP-953. Do you know each other?
SCP-XXXX: I don't expect you to know every human being.
Dr.: May I see your tails?
[Seconds later]
Dr.: That was FASCINATING. But how did the personnel recognize you while you were in humanoid form in China? You look like…just like a human, showing no anomaly.
SCP-XXXX: I [UNRECOGNIZED] them.
Dr.: Why?
SCP-XXXX: I know SCP Foundation. Sounds pretty cool. I know what you're thinking. Don't try to contain me.
Dr.: What if I force you to stay?
[Dr. and SCP-XXXX suddenly disappeared from the room. As Dr. recalled, they were transferred to [UNRECOGNIZED] by an unknown force. The following words have no audio record.]
Dr.: Send me BACK!
SCP-XXXX: You forced me to show my ability.
[Silence for several seconds]
Dr.: What else can you do?
SCP-XXXX: Much more. Give me the permission of not containing me, and I'll help your research to some extent.
Dr.: I promise you.
SCP-XXXX: Any attempt of restricting me will cost blood. However, if you do well, I may help SCP Foundation. Deal?
Dr.: Deal.
[Dr. and SCP-XXXX reappeared in the room three (3) minutes after disappearance. The audio record of the following words exists.]
Dr.: I have to prepare for the experiments. Could you please stay here for a while? I'll be back soon to bring you to another place.
SCP-XXXX: I'll be there right after you're well-prepared.
[Dr. silenced for seconds, and then went out.]
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Fifteen (15) minutes later, SCP-XXXX disappeared from the room. Almost at the same time, Dr. recorded that the object had arrived at the lab-██. The object has shown its ability to move between spaces freely.
Experiment XXXX-1 to XXXX-9
These experiments were aimed to reveal the abilities of the nine tails of SCP-XXXX.
Operator: Dr.
Date: ██/██/2018
Location: Lab-██
| Exp. XXXX-1 |
|
| Subject |
SCP-XXXX-I |
| Protocol |
SCP-XXXX was asked to display the subject's ability or to describe it if there's some safety issue. |
| Results |
SCP-XXXX requested metals. SCP-XXXX-I showed the ability to control metals whatever kinds of metals were provided. For example, the subject turned some screws into toy soldiers, making them floating without any detectable support. SCP-XXXX described that it can change the atoms, like turning iron into silver; however, the process might endanger the facility by large energy consumption. |
| Exp. XXXX-2 |
|
| Subject |
SCP-XXXX-II |
| Protocol |
SCP-XXXX was asked to display the subject's ability or to describe it if there's some safety issue. |
| Results |
SCP-XXXX requested a cow. The subject "dissolved" the cow and "assembled" two (2) dogs by those organic substances, with some remains. The subject can not copy the substances without ground, however. |
| Exp. XXXX-3 |
|
| Subject |
SCP-XXXX-III |
| Protocol |
SCP-XXXX was asked to display the subject's ability or to describe it if there's some safety issue. |
| Results |
SCP-XXXX requested liquids. Just like how SCP-XXXX-I controls metals, the subject showed the ability to control any given liquid. Interestingly, mercury, a kind of liquid metal, can be controlled by both SCP-XXXX-I and SCP-XXXX-III. |
| Exp. XXXX-4 |
|
| Subject |
SCP-XXXX-IV |
| Protocol |
SCP-XXXX was asked to display the subject's ability or to describe it if there's some safety issue. |
| Results |
The subject can control energy in the form of heat. It precisely divided the room into four parts, although the boundaries were invisible. By measurement, the temperatures were -5, 25, 40, and 300 °C respectively. |
| Exp. XXXX-5 |
|
| Subject |
SCP-XXXX-V |
| Protocol |
SCP-XXXX was asked to display the subject's ability or to describe it if there's some safety issue. |
| Results |
The subject can control non-metal inorganic substances like how SCP-XXXX-I and SCP-XXXX-III do. |
| Exp. XXXX-7 |
|
| Subject |
SCP-XXXX-VII |
| Protocol |
SCP-XXXX was asked to display the subject's ability or to describe it if there's some safety issue. |
| Results |
Two (2) D-class staffs were brought to the lab. Under the effect of the subject, they were forced to run, dance, sing, cut themselves with some blunt stuff, [DATA EXPUNGED], and even [DATA EXPUNGED]. They were both terminated during the experiment. SCP-XXXX described that this ability is only effective for creatures with high intelligence. |
| Exp. XXXX-8 |
|
| Subject |
SCP-XXXX-VIII |
| Protocol |
SCP-XXXX was asked to display the subject's ability or to describe it if there's some safety issue. |
| Results |
SCP-XXXX described the subject as some sort of "energy controller", whose ability can not be displayed alone. Also, SCP-XXXX said that although it knows how to utilize the subject, the specific mechanism is still not well-understood. |
| Exp. XXXX-9 |
|
| Subject |
SCP-XXXX-IX |
| Protocol |
SCP-XXXX was asked to display the subject's ability or to describe it if there's some safety issue. |
| Results |
SCP-XXXX refused to show the subject's ability. "It is the tail that makes me even stronger, and more dangerous." said SCP-XXXX. |
| Conclusion |
These experiments have shown that SCP-XXXX has great potential of creating disasters, but it had high obedience during experiments. The limitations of its abilities have not been tested. |
Document XXXX-2: Second interview transcript, ██/██/2018.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr.
Foreword: This interview was performed by Dr. several months after the experiments. The following record has been written in English through the interviewer's understanding.
<Begin Log>
SCP-XXXX: I felt your request to meet me. Glad to see you again.
Dr.: I'm just starting to worry where to find you.
SCP-XXXX: That will never become a problem. State your problem.
Dr.: We have studied all the records of your experiments. We want you to help us terminating SCP-682.
SCP-XXXX: Deny.
Dr.: Why not?
SCP-XXXX: Not my business. Besides, I'm much more dangerous than that thing.
Dr.: That's probably the reason why we ask you to do that.
SCP-XXXX: Deny. Whoever executes the termination successfully will become the next aim to be terminated.
Dr.: Why would we do that?
SCP-XXXX: That's probably the reason why you ask me to do that.
Dr.: Okay. Should that be true, you can still destroy the enemies easily, can't you?
SCP-XXXX: Exactly. However, I don't want to slaughter.
Dr.: But you killed two (2) people under [DATA EXPUNGED] during the experiment.
SCP-XXXX: That was true. That is not true.
Dr.: I sincerely ask you to help us. Execute the termination of SCP-682, please.
SCP-XXXX: Deny.
[SCP-XXXX disappeared.]
<End Log>
Closing Statement: From the previous experiments, we're quite sure SCP-XXXX has the ability to terminate SCP-682. We hope to talk to SCP-XXXX again soon in order to recruit it.
Document XXXX-3: Third interview (unauthorized), ██/██/2018.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Unknown
Foreword: This is an unauthorized interview. However, O5-██ requested to keep this safe and sound.
<Begin Log>
Unknown: Thanks for meeting me.
SCP-XXXX: That's nothing big. State your problem.
Unknown: May I see your fox form?
SCP-XXXX: Sure.
[UNRECOGNIZED]
Unknown: I just wonder if you are the exact nine-tailed fox described in many Chinese documents.
SCP-XXXX: Yes. And no.
Unknown: How come?
SCP-XXXX: I was not born this way. I have changed a lot. Also, truths are always hidden in lies, and vice versa.
Unknown: I don't get the point.
SCP-XXXX: Neither do I.
Unknown: May I ask something offensive?
SCP-XXXX: Sure.
Unknown: How to destroy you? Is that possible?
SCP-XXXX: That's a good one. Nothing is invincible. I give you some hint. See my tails. Find the one representing "fire".
Unknown: They're just the same. I can't tell by any sensation.
SCP-XXXX: They used to be different.
Unknown: I don't understand.
SCP-XXXX: I have shown you. By the way, you shouldn't talk to me without permission.
Unknown: How do you know that?
SCP-XXXX: I have my approach.
Unknown: Wait, I almost miss the most important one. May I see your fox form?
SCP-XXXX: Sure.
[UNRECOGNIZED]
Unknown: Another question please?
SCP-XXXX: Here you go.
Unknown: There is a document stating that you are not willing to execute the termination of SCP-682.
SCP-XXXX: Exactly.
Unknown: Do you really own the power to destroy SCP-682? Or, can SCP-682 be terminated?
SCP-XXXX: Nothing is invincible.
Unknown: I guess that's the only answer I can get. Last but not least, may I see your fox form?
SCP-XXXX: Sure
[UNRECOGNIZED]
Unknown: Thank you again for meeting me. Please keep it secret.
SCP-XXXX: I [UNRECOGNIZED].
Unknown: Please. Keep it…
[SCP-XXXX disappeared.]
<End Log>
Closing Statement: We don't know where this document comes. However, it records some important information regarding SCP-XXXX. Nothing is invincible. - O5-██
