The Chained Man

Object Class: Euclid

[UNAUTHORIZED FOR ENTRY]

Reason: Not written well/too predictable

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-#### is required to be contained in a Level 4 Humanoid chamber 13.7 m x 13.7 m x 6.1 m, as it behaves less erratic in spaces similar to this size and larger. It must be given prey every month to keep it from breaching containment. It is sealed in the chamber with two 5" thick steel doors with a repurposed airlock chamber, to prevent it from attacking the guards stationed outside.

Due to the tendency of reciting its many unique "memories", the containment space is installed with five microphones and is recorded on the security footage without stopping.

Description: This creature appears to be humanoid, laced with devastating wounds with thick rusted chains protruding from each one. It is measured at 6' 2" and is estimated at 120 lbs, excluding the chains. As it is considered unsafe to enter its containment chamber while it is still present, SCP-#### is still wearing a damaged [REDACTED] Maximum Security Prison uniform.

All attempts to communicate with the SCP have failed. However, speech is still confirmed possible, as it often rambles to itself about its alleged past, of which has not been confirmed or denied of any true information. One of its stories is theorized to be the origin of [REDACTED], as it calls itself. As the SCP speaks, its facial features give it the common appearance of terror. It also paces back and forth in the containment area as it speaks.

The creature kills its prey in a unique fashion: by using the chains in its body and pulling one outwards, which do not appear to end, and crushing the prey's neck until bleeding out or suffocating. The SCP will then proceed to hang the corpse from the ceiling, even if there is no physical way to do so. If the neck is protected too well during its killing period, the SCP will continue to attack it using whatever method works at the time, including puncturing the body with superhuman strength with its chains, [REDACTED], and [REDACTED]. The creature does not consume the corpses it accumulates, nor does it appear to require any form of sustenance. The method by which it accumulates the energy it uses to exist is still unknown.

SCP-####'s chains appear to have a consciousness separate from the humanoid, as witnessed by the capability for them to move without external cause as well as the seemingly bipolar nature of its own behavior. Often the chains can be seen attacking SCP-#### without prompt within the containment chamber. All attempts to kill SCP-#### have been greatly unsuccessful despite the extreme force used by the chains.

Securing the SCP

The audio for the interview with the lieutenant leading the collection operation had been corrupted, but the written log is still preserved.

The interview reads as follows:

[Begin Recording]

DOCTOR: Please tell us what happened as your squad secured SCP-####.

LIEUTENANT: Well, where do I begin? Your little scientists told me to make as little noise as possible. Fat lot of good that did us. The thing was located in the middle of a desert forest. Everything on the ground was dead.

DOCTOR: Everything? Including the animals?

LIEUTENANT: [Nods] I could've sworn even the bacteria were dead. There was an unusual thin layer of fine dust on the ground. It had a strange consistency under my boots.

DOCTOR: Impressive.

LIEUTENANT: We thought we would hear the chains, but it was dead silent. When it found us, it jumped on what I swear was ten of my men all at once. The chains wrapped around their necks while they were still barely alive. It then hung each one from the tallest branches it could find. Some of my men were so badly damaged that when they were hung, their bodies fell apart.

DOCTOR: What did you do to get it safe enough to transport?

LIEUTENANT: I think one of my men pulled out one of those taser guns potent enough to kill 100 men and shot it.

DOCTOR: Were you worried the target would be terminated?

LIEUTENANT: No. Of anything, I hoped it would die. [He waits for a moment.] The monster was paralyzed, but the chains started thrashing so violently, even touching them would sever the limb from your body in the most painful way possible. We had to drop the Box on it just to move it.

DOCTOR: Were you surprised by the amount of damage "The Box" sustained when SCP-#### was finally contained?

LIEUTENANT: I don't know. I figured it would've broken out during the flight back if it didn't calm down.

DOCTOR: And I've noticed that you've refrained from using any expletives during the interview. That isn't your usual behavior.

LIEUTENANT: I'm still deciding if Mister Don't-Look-at-My-Face is scarier than this thing. Not a curse word in the world could calm me down.

DOCTOR: Is there a particular reason for such behavior?

LIEUTENANT: Every night, I'm plagued by nightmares of what I saw in that forest before we left.

DOCTOR: Your fallen comrades?

LIEUTENANT: The thousands of hanging skeletons on the trees staring at me all at once. Most of which weren't even human.

DOCTOR: Understood.

[End Recording]

Experiment 1: #### T096: SCP-096 is inserted into SCP-####'s containment chamber. The cameras are turned off and ultrasonic imaging is temporarily activated for the duration of the experiment.

SCP-#### begins by wrapping a chain around SCP-096's neck, but no reaction is received by the attack. SCP-#### has not viewed SCP-096's face yet.

After 20 minutes, SCP-096 stands up and begins screaming. SCP-#### begins throwing ends of chains toward SCP-096 with lethal force.

At 30 minutes, SCP-#### wraps itself in writhing chains. SCP-096 tries its hardest to break through but is kept out of confinement.

At 2 hours, SCP-096 has almost made it into the ball of chains.

At 2 1/2 hours, SCP-096 manages to breach the ball of chains, only to be shot into the wall by many chains thrown outwards in all directions, each one carrying an earth-shattering force. Extreme puncture wounds are littered around SCP-096's body.

At 2 3/4 hours, SCP-#### punctures SCP-096's face, essentially obliterating it. SCP-096 curls back into a ball and the onslaught of chains ends.

SCP-096 is returned to its containment chamber.

Termination Result: FAIL

End Experiment

Addendum 1: Origin: The alleged origin of this SCP has not been proven, but the only existing information obtained came from the SCP itself.

The SCP was arrested for [REDACTED] and put into [REDACTED] Maximum Security Prison. At [REDACTED] on July 28, [REDACTED], several days after the last major containment breach at Site [REDACTED], the prison was supposedly attacked by what it identifies it as "a giant, creepy lizard" (hypothesized to be SCP-682, although, during the latest sedition, SCP-682 denies having ever seen it), resulting in everything in the building decimated, including most of the personnel and prisoners. SCP-#### then goes on to describe the feeling of being resurrected as a "more powerful being", before resolving on the sentence, "Now my best friend is with me forever."

Addendum 2: SCP-#### has recently spoken about the initial attempts to communicate with it.

Watch SCP-#### for further associated occurrences and prepare for sedition.
