Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX's host should be contained within a small room, the room can vary in size but should stay around 3.5 meters by 3.5 meters by 2 meters, the security of the room depends on how active the host is. Some hosts of SCP-XXXX will need special procedures or construction of their containment cell. During the event of the host of SCP-XXXX becoming deceased the new host must be located and contained in one of the containment cells previously built for one of the hosts of SCP-XXXX.

Any of the immediate family genetically related to the host are to be held in separate cells on-site of SCP-XXXX's host's containment cell, each of the relative's cells are to be about 5 meters by 5 meters by 2 meters with no windows. Relatives can have two hours each day to go to the courtyard for exercise.

In the event of the new host acquiring a possibly destructive ability when inhabited by SCP-XXXX they will be held in a special cell until a cell equipped to handle their inhabitation is constructed. The cell is about 10 meters by 10 meters by 10 meters with a foam padding on any exposed surface and a steel door around 15 centimeters in width; this cell is to be only accessible to members with Level-2 security clearance.

Description: SCP-XXXX has no true physical form and thus acts like a parasite that is passed between hosts. It appears differently to each host using either vision, audition, or tactician, unseen yet theorized are the occurrence of gustation or olfaction being used. When a host becomes deceased SCP-XXXX leaves the host and inhabits a new one, it will choose to the nearest genetically related relative in the immediate family of the previous host favoring relatives the genetically closest. If the former host has no immediate family it will attach to a nearby human, the range of that SCP-XXXX can choose a host at a yet to be discovered, it is assumed to be a substantial distance measured in kilometers rather than meters.

Some hosts of SCP-XXXX can acquire specific abilities; these abilities are in no way controlled by the host. Only two such cases have been observed. The first was the ability to "levitate" when "picked up" by a visual manifestation of SCP-XXXX, the second the host was told the intentions of others by the auditory manifestation of SCP-XXXX. Abilities given by SCP-XXXX could and are considered to be dangerous, any case of a host gaining abilities through SCP-XXXX should be regarded as such.

Hosts of SCP-XXXX give off an unknown form of electromagnetic energy waves with a continually fluctuating frequency and wavelength, this creates a detectable "warble" effect in their surroundings. This "warble" does not seem to come directly from the body of the host; instead, it comes from areas that some of the hosts describe the manifestation of SCP-XXXX. The "warble" is thought to be a factor to the hosts acquiring abilities from SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX was first discovered inhabiting a patient in a mental institution in [Nashville, Tennessee] after its closure in 1977, the first discovered host of SCP-XXXX¹ was [Brian Youker], he was initially not contained because of the lack of evidence of anomalous activity. SCP-XXXX-a described the SCP-XXXX as a voice that was always coming from behind him and tried to get him to harm everything around him, SCP-XXXX-a was antisocial and seldom ate, he died six months later of unknown causes, no known host of SCP-XXXX has since died on such ambiguous terms.

Two years later after a report of a man "levitating" in the streets of [REDACTED] the host of SCP-XXXX was located and contained, the new host was [David Youker] the father of SCP-XXXX-a. SCP-XXXX-b described SCP-XXXX as a tall black figure with bloodshot eyes and a smile with yellowed teeth that stretched across the entire area of its head. He was more active than the SCP-XXXX-a and tried multiple escape attempts, once in containment SCP-XXXX-b had stopped levitating all together and tried talking to SCP-XXXX this often ended in violent fits of screaming and attempts of self-harm.

+ Event log

Addendum 1: The current containment site for hosts of SCP-XXXX is in a specialized site in [Mojave Desert] known as Site 84-1. The site is an above-ground concrete structure with no windows and an outer fence. There is only one road to Site 84-1. The nearest town is [Helene, Nevada] and is approximately 20 kilometers away.

Addendum 2: The current host of SCP-XXXX is currently at large, there is a possibility of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-f being located in [DATA EXPUNGED] do to equipment searching for the "warble" picking up a small ping of it before it faded away, SCP-XXXX-f could be dangerous and any attempt to locate it should be made with precaution.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX should be placed in a standard locking safe class containment cell with a chair fitted with restraints for arms, legs, and head. The chair and restraints are for use of authorized testing of the object's properties.

The containment cell of SCP-XXXX should remain locked to all personnel until authorized to be unlocked by select personnel of level 3 or higher.

Description: SCP-XXXX has a stand resembling the lower half of an intravenous infusion stand with 7 mechanical arms connecting to a cylindrical gearbox on top of the stand. The object's gearbox has grooves for vertical movement of the mechanical arms. On the back of the gearbox, there is a switch resembling that of a light switch, although there appear to be no electrical aspects in SCP-XXXX except for a cable running from the gearbox to the wheeled base of its stand. There is also a keyhole 3cm below the switch on the back of SCP-XXXX. The key that fits into the object's keyhole has not been located.

SCP-XXXX's arms have ball and socket joints yet have very rigid movement when not activated. Its arms all end in one of the following tools: A one-sided razor measuring twelve centimeters, a flat metal tool with no sharpened edges measuring thirty centimeters that tapers off to a rounded end, a syringe filled with an unknown green fluid with a needle measuring fifteen centimeters with a clear plastic tube running down the mechanical arm to the gearbox, three needles measuring seven centimeters, twelve centimeters, and twenty-five centimeters, and a hacksaw measuring twenty-seven centimeters.

The inside of the gearbox contains clockwork such as gears, springs, and metal wires, none of this has any discernible use. The origin of the green liquid and use of the cabless running down the stand are, as of yet, unknown. When SCP-XXXX is activated while the gearbox is open, a few of the gears start to rotate while most stay stationary along with all of the metal wires and springs. Even if the gearbox is open after five seconds, the arms will raise and start moving. The arms point in the direction of entities around it and follow their movement. The object has also exhibited the ability to rotate and move in any direction in a slight amount.

When the object's switch is put into the position marked "ON" a quiet whine similar to that of a small fan can be heard inside the gearbox, this occurs even if the gearbox is open. 5 seconds after SCP-XXXX is activated, the mechanical arms raise and begin moving around as if looking for a subject to operate on. If a human is placed in a chair in front of SCP-XXXX⁴ the mechanical arms start working on the patient. SCP-XXXX will first use the flat metal tool to smooth out things like the nose, cleft chins, cheekbones, and any other defining feature while the razor cuts the hair, ears, and skin growths. After the blade and flat tool finish, the syringe starts injecting the unknown green fluid into the patient's face and eyes. After the fluid is injected, the three needles will start rapidly closing up gaps in the epidermis of the patient by "sewing" the tissues together through unknown means. No blood is lost during this process, but the patients show signs of extreme pain during the procedure. The hacksaw has never been used during any tests of SCP-XXXX's functions.

Discovery SCP-XXXX

On June 7, 19[94] the body of a caucasian male estimated to be around the age of 30 was found in the [Redacted] river, the head had no face and a “simplified” skull structure. The body was taken from local law enforcement soon after it’s discovery. After the autopsy, it was found that the body retained most facial features underneath a layer of skin. The foundation saw the appearance of the body as anomalous and further investigation was authorized. 3 kilometers upstream the entrance to an undocumented tunnel was found.

The tunnel appeared abandoned. This tunnel contained one main hallway and 5 rooms. 2 rooms appear to be living quarters with 2 bunk beds in each room each fitted with white sheets a green wool blanket and a white feather pillow, these as well as a third room measure 2 meters by 2.5 meters. The third appears to be a lavatory, it has a flushable toilet, a sink, and showerhead above a drain with a single knob to control water. The water is supplied directly from the river and is not heated in any way. The 2 other rooms were 4 meters by 5 meters. 1 of the remaining rooms is what appeared to be a mess hall with 4 tables with two benches underneath each and a set of 2 electric stoves were located in the back. The final room appeared to be an infirmary, this room contained SCP-XXXX, there were also 2 beds along the wall both with the same materials as the bunk beds in the living quarters and a wooden chair with leg, arm, and head restraints placed in front of SCP-XXXX. In the infirmary notes on the operation of SCP-XXXX and medical diagrams were plastered on the wall.

{Illustrations of the operations of SCP-XXXX labeled fig. 1 through fig. 5, below the illustrations, are descriptions corresponding to fig. 1 through fig. 5}

fig.1 {next to an illustration of razor cutting hair and what appears to be an ear}
The removal of hair, growths, and ears is a crucial phase, without this most other operations cannot proceed as intended

fig. 2 {next to an illustration of the flat metal object smoothing a rough surface}
To remove any recognizable feature that can later be added as necessary.

fig. 3 {next to an illustration of the syringe injecting around lacerations and into the eyes}
To allow the skin to be drawn like string and meld to the other side. Functions to mute pigments that may later be reintroduced.

fig. 4 {next to an illustration of the 3 needles drawing the skin across a laceration}
To seal openings in the epidermis three sizes of needle are required. May function to open areas that need to be reopened later.

fig. 5 {next to an illustration of a saw cutting away what appears to be a horn}
To remove any extremes that cannot be flattened.

{Illustration of SCP-XXXX, to the right of the illustration, is handwritten notes}

The machine is complete. We cannot determine how but the one classified as 199 has finished the project and better than we thought possible. Now a new crisis has arrived, we do not understand. 199 has created a marvel, but an abnormal marvel. It lacks a reasonable way to be remade, perhaps 199 will eventually describe its creation, for now, we must stay here.

The one classified as 105 has been killed, the machine killed him. It did not work, we were told it would work by 199 but it has already killed one of us. If only 199 would help us we could finally leave. We could bury 105.

Supplies are running low and 199 still refuses to speak. I think he has noticed me recording events on the diagram, I must stay alert. We cannot stay here much longer we need to build another machine before we leave, but we cannot, not without 199’s help.

There are only 3 now. Me, 96, and 199. We’ve done horrible things, but we understand, 199 has described its creation, we can now leave. But 199 must first test the new machine, it is the only way.

All other diagrams on the walls are standard medical diagrams. It is unknown what has happened to the individuals described in the writings, but the body found in the [Redacted] river is assumed one of those described in the writings on the diagram.

Test log-XXXX-1 - 5 July, 19[94]

Procedure: D-1449 (male) is placed in a chair inside of SCP-XXXX's containment cell while SCP-XXXX is activated via the switch on the back of its gearbox.
Result: D-1449 began screaming due to pain brought on by the procedure and ran to the wall of the cell. D-1449 was instructed to sit back in the chair; he refused. SCP-XXXX was deactivated, and D-1449 was removed from the cell and terminated. On closer examination, the flat tool does not break bones but only smoothes out their surface.

Test log-XXXX-2 - 13 July, 19[94]

Procedure: D-1456 (female) is placed in a chair inside of SCP-XXXX's containment cell, and arm and leg restraints are put into place. SCP-XXXX is activated via the switch on the back of its gearbox.
Result: D-1456 began screaming due to pain brought on by the procedure. She tried turning her head away from SCP-XXXX multiple times throughout the procedure; causing many of the tools to fail at their tasks. After the procedure finished, SCP-XXXX is deactivated, and D-1456 is removed from the cell, she expired due to the failure of the procedure. Upon further examination, the bone structure of the skull was completely smooth; the skin had multiple lacerations, and a large growth near the temple, the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were all completely removed.

Test log-XXXX-3 - 18 July, 19[94]

Procedure: D-1462 (male) is placed in a chair inside of SCP-XXXX's containment cell, and arm, leg, and head restraints are put into place. SCP-XXXX is activated via the switch on the back of its gearbox.
Result: D-1462 began screaming due to pain brought on by the procedure. He could not cause any tool failures during the procedure. After the procedure finished, SCP-XXXX is deactivated, and D-1456 is removed from the cell, he expired after 5 minutes due to asphyxiation. Upon further examination, the bone structure of the skull was completely smooth; the skin was also completely smooth with no visible blemishes or orifices

Test log-XXXX-4 - 1 August, 19[94]

Procedure: A Labrador Retriever - Canis lupus familiaris (male) is restrained in front of SCP-XXXX's, leg and head restraints are put into place. SCP-XXXX is activated via the switch on the back of its gearbox.
Result: The Labrador Retriever does not cause the object to begin its procedure. SCP-XXXX is deactivated, and the Labrador Retriever is removed from the cell and later terminated.

Addendum 1: Due to the object failing to operate when given a non-human patient we have concluded that the machine was built for explicit use on human patients. This still does not give explain why the object was created or its intended use.

Addendum 2:
Incident report: on 10 November, 19[94] Dr. [Herman] Bland entered the containment cell of SCP-XXXX with a D-class personnel who is yet to be identified, D-1770, and began the procedures of an unauthorized test. The test appeared successful but the body of D-1770 has, as of yet, not been recovered. When apprehended Dr. [Herman] Bland confessed to multiple accounts of unauthorized tests of anomalous objects and otherwise breaches in protocol. Dr. [Herman] Bland was terminated shortly after being interrogated.

Tales

Short Summary of My Plan
A tale that follows a doctor named Herman Bland. He believes that there may be something bigger out there and goes around trying to conduct unauthorized tests on anomalous objects that he sees as important or dangerous, but the foundation has already chosen to conclude testing, or at least has stepped back on the tests. He is later caught when he tries to use the SCP listed above, the one I call the defacing machine, this specific SCP is used because he believes someone made it and could make more, he wants that to be stopped.
