Sulfur-Sucking Worm ("Booster Juice")
BoostJuice

Multiple Booster Juice-brand beverage cups at a temporary stall. Employee is disposing of two cups containing instances of SCP-XXXX-1.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: All beverages served at Booster Juice establishments are to be inspected using specialized chemical analysis probes prior to serving. Employees should be led to believe that these probes are devices for detecting bacteria, implemented as part of a food safety initiative in response to concerns over E. Coli infection. Any beverages found by the probe to contain traces of kerosene are to be classified as instances of SCP-XXXX-1 and promptly disposed of. Under no condition is any instance of SCP-XXXX-1 to be served to patrons.

All Booster Juice establishments must be guarded at all times by one (1) plainclothes agent belonging to Mobile Task Force Lambda-14 ("One Star Reviewers"). Should any patron display symptoms of abdominal cramping after consuming a Booster Juice beverage, they are to be immediately terminated. In the event of a runaway SCP-XXXX-2 instance, Mobile Task Force Theta-6 (“Danger Zoners”) is to scramble strike craft to pursue and terminate SCP-XXXX-2. Civilian witnesses to the effects of SCP-XXXX are to be detained, administered class-A amnestics, and released. Cover stories may be necessary to explain damages caused by SCP-XXXX-2.

Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a set of anomalous properties affecting roughly one (1) out of every seven (7) beverages served at locations owned and operated by Canadian smoothie bar chain Booster Juice Ltd. Upon the full preparation of any Booster Juice beverage by restaurant staff, there is an approximate 30% chance that high concentrations of RP-1, a liquid rocket propellant incorporating refined kerosene, will spontaneously manifest within the beverage, at which point it is classified as an instance of SCP-XXXX-1. This ingredient does not affect the taste of SCP-XXXX-1, nor does it induce any of the carcinogenic effects typically caused by its ingestion. SCP-XXXX does not manifest in beverages prepared outside of current Booster Juice establishments, beverages prepared by persons other than current Booster Juice employees, or beverages deviating from the Booster Juice menu.

Any individual who consumes an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 is classified as SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2 typically characterizes the taste of SCP-XXXX-1 as sweet and pleasant, often adding that it is superior in quality to previous smoothies they have consumed. After a period of three (3) to ten (10) seconds, SCP-XXXX-2 will begin to experience extreme gastrointestinal cramping. This is soon followed by an explosive combustion within the large intestine of SCP-XXXX-2, causing a jet of high-temperature gasses - similar to the exhaust of a rocket engine - to be expelled from the anus of the subject, immediately propelling the subject forward at high speed. Exhaust gasses have been clocked at 2200 m/s, outputting 259.06 kN of thrust at a maximum temperature of 3,200 °C. This process is accompanied by an involuntary vocalization from SCP-XXXX-2, consisting of the words “Booster Juice” chanted rhythmically in time with the ignition.

Under the effects of SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-2 will typically reach a top speed of 3,000 km/h, enduring up to ten (10) g’s of acceleration in the process. Faster speeds are theoretically possible, but have not been achieved due to wind resistance. SCP-XXXX-2 will remain in contact with the surface wherever possible, their legs continuing to move in an accelerated running motion. SCP-XXXX-2 has demonstrated the ability to scale vertical inclines, run on the surfaces of water bodies, and penetrate nearly any material. As a result, SCP-XXXX-2 instances have been known to cause widespread damage to areas they pass through, often on a scale comparable to a natural disaster.

SCP-XXXX-2 will invariably sustain fatal injuries due to the effects of SCP-XXXX, but will not experience the consequences of these injuries until the effects of SCP-XXXX have concluded and the subject has come to a complete stop. SCP-XXXX-2 will usually expire immediately after stopping. Termination of SCP-XXXX-2 while in motion is still possible by external means.

The speed and duration of SCP-XXXX's effects varies based on the amount of SCP-XXXX-1 consumed and the metabolism of SCP-XXXX-2.


Incident Report XXXX-4: On ██/██/201█ at 1213 hrs, a containment breach occurred at 808 York Mills Rd. in North York, Ontario when 32-year-old Evan Singh consumed an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 and could not be terminated in time.

[1213 hrs] Singh, after consuming a Booster Juice beverage, falls to his knees, clutches his stomach, and begins crying out in pain. Agent █████ immediately draws his sidearm and prepares to terminate SCP-XXXX-2. Before termination can be carried out, Agent █████ is tackled and disarmed by Alex Friedberg, an off-duty police officer.

[1214 hrs] SCP-XXXX’s anomalous effects manifest. SCP-XXXX-2 accelerates to 80 km/h, penetrates the southern wall of the establishment, continues to accelerate through neighboring units, and clears the building. SCP-XXXX-2 is travelling south, and reaches 700 km/h while colliding with buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, and flora. Severe damage to the York Mills area caused by direct collisions, flying debris, high winds, and fires.

[1216 hrs] SCP-XXXX-2 reaches 2500 km/h. Sonic booms occur. Widespread damage and injuries reported within an 80 km radius.

[1218 hrs] MTF Theta-6 scrambles one (1) E-3 Sentry AWACS and three (3) MiG-31 interceptors modified for air-to-surface combat. Formation takes off from Site-44 and is now en-route to the Greater Toronto Area.

[1221 hrs] SCP-XXXX-2 has reached his maximum speed of 3000 km/h and is now entering Downtown Toronto. Severe damage to buildings and infrastructure. ████ confirmed casualties.

[1222 hrs] SCP-XXXX-2 [DATA EXPUNGED] vehicle was later recovered from a farmer’s field near Strasburg, Pennsylvania.

[1223 hrs] SCP-XXXX-2 has cleared Toronto, and is now travelling along the surface of Lake Ontario at full speed.

[1226 hrs] MTF Theta-6 makes visual contact with SCP-XXXX-2. One (1) AGM-65 fired from MTF strike craft. Missile impacts SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2 terminated. Dismembered appendages and organs of SCP-XXXX-2 continue to ricochet along the surface of Lake Ontario at high speed.

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-2 was terminated by air-to-surface missile fire at 1226 hrs while moving south over Lake Ontario. Dismembered tissue from SCP-XXXX-2 continued travelling south at high speed, colliding with and damaging multiple buildings in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Incident caused ████ injuries, ███ fatalities, and property damage equal to approximately $██████ CAD. SCP-████ was utilized in cleanup and restoration efforts; city was successfully rebuilt with a 95% rate of accuracy. Class-A amnestics were dispersed aerially over the affected areas and a cover story was disseminated to the public. A request to update containment procedures to require a minimum of three (3) agents at all Booster Juice locations has been submitted and is currently pending approval.


Incident Report XXXX-5: On ██/██/201█ at 1405 hrs, a false termination occurred at 555 West Hastings St. in Vancouver, British Columbia when 17-year-old Lynda Avery began exhibiting symptoms of severe abdominal pain after consuming a Booster Juice beverage. Agent ███ drew his sidearm and discharged three (3) rounds in the direction of Avery, who was successfully terminated. Agent ███ evacuated the establishment and administered class-A amnestics to all witnesses. Subsequent autopsy found no indication of SCP-XXXX-1 among Avery’s stomach contents. It was concluded that the gastrointestinal cramping observed in Avery was unrelated to her consumption of the beverage.

Closing Statement: Agent ███ expressed regret at the incident, and advocated for updated containment procedures requiring agents to hold fire until the presence of SCP-XXXX-2 is confirmed beyond a reasonable doubt. Proposal was rejected by the Ethics Committee.
