Special Containment Procedures:The perimeter of SCP-6708 is to be patrolled at all times and any SCP-6708-1 instances are to be halted before they can exit SCP-6708. SCP-6708-1 instances are to be monitored at all times for shifts in behavior. It is to be noted for Researchers that direct contact with SCP-6708 is permitted to D-class personnel, stationed guards, and researchers outside of testing and during breaks. During breaks personnel can come into physical contact with SCP-6708-1 instances. No personnel under the age of fifteen are permitted to enter the zone containing SCP-6708 for fear of tampering with SCP-6708-1 and SCP-6708-Alpha. During standard monitoring, Guards are to remain 25 meters away from the active zone that SCP-6708-1 instances patrol. Only researchers with clearance level 2 or higher can approach SCP-6708-1 instances during testing phases or are instructed to by clearance level 2 personnel. SCP-6708-1 instances are to not leave the active site of SCP-6708 under any circumstances. New instances of SCP-6708-1 are to be recorded and logged for further study. SCP-6708-Alpha is to be kept 10 meters away from all personnel at any given time even during SCP-6708-Alpha's inactive phase (read SCP-6708-Alpha-Procedures for more information).

SCP-6708-Alpha during dormant phase.

Description: SCP-6708 is a six acre plot of land in ███████, Sweden. There are currently forty-three instances of SCP-6708-1 contained within SCP-6708. It is currently unknown how SCP-6708-1 multiplies itself or if SCP-6708 creates them itself but data taken from Test-6708-A proves that there is no set pattern of new appearances of SCP-6708-1 instances. SCP-6708-1 occurrences approximately stand 1.8 meters tall and are completely created out of stone. Radiometric dating suggests that the oldest instances of SCP-6708-1 are 177,000 years ago, to the beginning of the modern human. SCP-6708-Alpha dates exactly to 176,529 years ago. SCP-6708-Alpha is the only aggressive instance of SCP-6708-1. While most SCP-6708-1 occurrences have no distinguishable features, SCP-6708-Alpha has a 16 inch scar running up it's face and down it's neck. SCP-6708-Alpha is also missing the right arm, which was severed at the shoulder blade after [REDACTED]. Read [DATA EXPUNGED] for more information.

Termination: Unfortunately SCP-6708 and all SCP-6708-1 instances have been destroyed due to a landslide, destroying all SCP-6708-1 instances. It is unknown if any SCP-6708-1 objects remain. A wildfire was sparked because of the landslide, burning SCP-6708 and the surrounding forest. Lead Researcher ██ has reclassified SCP-6708 as neutralized due to these events.

Note from Lead Researcher ██: The document above has been falsified to cloak the true nature of SCP-6708 and SCP-6708-1 instances. If you are reading this that means that you have level 4 clearance or higher. If you are found to not contain level 4 you will be severely demoted to D-class personnel, or subject to termination.

Item #: SCP-6708

Object Class: Euclid Neutralized

Description: SCP-6708-1 instances are docile entities that calmly wander inside SCP-6708's area. Once every 14 days at exactly 00:30:00 the SCP-6708 entities will become extremely hostile and leave SCP-6708's area, which would normally terminate the SCP-6708-1 entity. However, SCP-6708-1 instances will seek out the closest town and kidnap children from their homes, henceforth referred to as 19-Suffolk. Since containment in 19██, ███ children have been kidnapped by SCP-6708-1 instances. Children kidnapped by SCP-6708-1 instances are brought back to SCP-6708's area of six acres and children will be buried either alive or dead. The children will reconstruct into a SCP-6708-1 instance between three to eight days after burial. It has been noted by Mobile Task Force Zeta-6 "Midnight Trackers" that SCP-6708-Alpha is the instance that leads the other SCP-6708-1 instances into the town to perform 19-Suffolk. There are currently seventy-two recorded instances of SCP-6708-1 in SCP-6708, they are either under the ground and not viewable, or hidden in the thickest parts of the forest.

Discovery: SCP-6708 was discovered in 1939 when the town of ███████, Sweden was having a massive amount of children under the age of 15 disappear during the middle of the night. MTF-Zeta-6 "Midnight Trackers" has been tasked with monitoring and containing SCP-6708-1 subjects that leave SCP-6708's area of effect.

Incident Report 6708-A: SCP-6708-1 instances were beginning to activate and become hostile. MTF Zeta-6 moved to prevent the completion of 19-Suffolk and were stationed at the perimeter of ███████. Twenty-three SCP-6708-1 instances outnumbered the twelve MTF Agents and MTF were permitted the use of live ammunition, MTF teams used suppressed M4A1 Carbines and managed to destroy nineteen instances of SCP-6708-1. However, five children were still kidnapped. Children released after SCP-6708-1 termination were given class C amnestics and returned home after Incident-6708-A concluded.

Incident Report 6708-B: This report included the first sighting of SCP-6708-Alpha during a 19-Suffolk event. Before Incident-6708-B SCP-6708-Alpha was extremely inactive and rarely moved. During testing, █ personnel were terminated by SCP-6708-Alpha and SCP-6708-Alpha was classified as Euclid. At the beginning of 19-Suffolk, SCP-6708-Alpha arrived at the perimeter of the small town with fifty-four SCP-6708-1 instances and MTF-Zeta-6 Captain ██████ was terminated during Incident-6708-B by SCP-6708-Alpha. A total of thirty-two SCP-6708-1 instances were terminated and a approximately twenty-three children were kidnapped.

Below is a transcript of Incident-6708-B between MTF-Zeta-6.

[BEGIN LOG]

Zulu-1-1: Hold them back we can't let them into the town.

Zulu-1-4: Copy that sir. Keep your heads on a swivel men. They could come out of the treeline at any second.

Zulu-1-1: Stay frosty.

[Several SCP-6708-1 instances burst out of treeline]

Zulu-1-1: Open fire don't let a single one into town.

[Multiple SCP-6708-1 instances are destroyed]

Zulu-1-13: Sir there are too many of them what are we going to do?

Zulu-1-17: Watch out 13 they're coming from the right side straight for you.

[Zulu-1-13, Zulu-1-14, Zulu-1-12, Zulu-1-10, and Zulu-1-6 are terminated due to strangulation, or snapping the neck at the base of the skull]

Zulu-1-1: Men fall back into town and hold them off there.

[Zulu-1 splits up and guards the second layer of houses from incoming SCP-6708-1 attacks]

Zulu-1-2: Zulu-1-1 there are too many of them they are completely surrounding us.

[Zulu-1-2 is terminated by strangulation from an SCP-6708-1 instance. Zulu-1-1 comes into direct contact with SCP-6708-Alpha and Zulu-1-1 opens fire on the instance. During SCP-6708-Alpha's charge towards Zulu-1-1, Zulu-1-1 manages to completely sever SCP-6708-Alpha's shoulder blade. SCP-6708-Alpha reached Zulu-1-1 and terminated her by complete decapitation. The rest of Zulu-1 is terminated during 19-Suffolk]

[END LOG]

Note from Lead Researcher ██: Due to the severe loss of personnel from Mobile Task Force Zeta-6, we have proposed the MTF team be double staffed and have more personnel on duty at all times so another loss like Incident-6708-B does not occur. [REQUEST DENIED (see Termination Cause)]

Termination Cause: Due to the loss of personnel, currently understaffed research team, loss of civilian life, and population decline in ███████, Lead Researcher ██, O5-█, O5-█, and O5-██ decided it would be best to terminate SCP-6708, SCP-6708-1 instances, and SCP-6708-Alpha. No incidents occurred while terminating subjects.
