Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is kept in a standard biological containment chamber with heat lamps installed in the ceiling and a custom made valve that is to be connected to a source of mineral and protein enriched water.

SCP-XXXX is to be supplied with biweekly rations of a concentrated mix of sugar, minerals, and vitamins as detailed in SCP-XXXX's feeding requirements.

If the object requests any metal material for repairs they are to be reported to the site manager who may fill those requests if not deemed too pretentious, and if the object ever becomes damaged then it is to be immediately supplied emergency rations of titanium, copper, magnetite, and if necessary silver and gold. These materials are to be kept in a storage locker near the object's containment in a powdered form for reasons such as this.

Interviews are to be carried out once every two days by personnel with a base knowledge of political science, microbiology, and mechanics as per the object's request.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is an air tight water-filled mechanical vessel that appears to be constructed in the shape of a bipedal humanoid with a tail, antlers, and webbed hands and feet. The vessel is made from a multi layered plating of titanium fused with copper and carbon in a manner that makes it stronger than diamond and more durable than any other known nonanomalous metal. The technology implemented in the vessel is extremely complex and made in a manner that is only possible through nothing but microscopic precision and workmanship. The vessel is capable of locomotion and dexterity similar to that of a normal human with the exception being its tail.

The vessel is also capable of short range teleportation, low elevation hovering, and the use of sonic weapons, repulsion cannons, and experimental technology that is capable of temporarily disrupting the brain functions of biological organisms. These weapons, installed in the apparatuses of the vessels hands, are used only in self defense and demonstration.

The antlers on the vessel are lined with sensory equipment

The vessel also used to be capable of interdimensional travel through the use of a spacial anomaly generator located within the chest section of the vessel, but it is reported that the generator has been damaged in a way that makes repair or replacement impossible with currently accessible technology.

The vessel is inhabited by a large singular colony of several hundred species of microscopic life which have all developed a level of sentience equal to humans. This colony is connected by an anomalous telepathic network which serves as a means of sharing information, assigning tasks, and communication. The colony also maintains the functions and integrity of the vessel.

This colony is capable of communicating with personnel through an apparatus in the cranial section of the vessel that transmits and accepts both radio and verbal communication. When communicated with, the colony has a single organism stationed in the communication center of the cranium section that will speak for the colony as a whole usually only referring to itself in the speech patterns when asked for personal information or other such questions pertaining to it as an individual.

The colony is friendly towards staff and due to its constant cooperation with staff and valuable knowledge on several subjects, is allowed to request meetings with the site director and occasionally roam the facility.

Following examination of volunteering individual specimens of the colony it was discovered that the colony has a certain species within it that was responsible for the creation of the vessel and the incorporation of several hundred species of nonanomalous microscopic life as well as those species development of sentience.

This species (designated SCP-XXXX-A) is capable of activating the development of sentience in other microscopic species including microscopic animals, bacteria, extremophiles, algae, amoebas, and any other protists which are capable of personal locomotion. It is theorized that this species has constructed the vessel as a means of protection from threats including the destruction of a solar system and also as a means of self preservation. It is also theorized that the colony has visited our planet in the past due to the fact that it was able to easily understand personnel in its first interview.

Addendum:
The object was discovered during a routine investigation of a large burst of electromagnetic radiation followed by a distress call transmitted by radio from an unknown source. The object had opened a rift to the [redacted] desert and was in a severe state of damage. Following the interview after its repair it was confirmed that during this time the colony was had evacuated all its individuals to the cranial section so no individuals were lost despite leaks in the chest and leg sections.

The object was immediately transported to the nearest site for emergency repairs after the evidence of sentient life inside before attempting an interview. In the following interview the colony requested its own containment for the purpose of protecting itself.
