STILL IN NEED OF DISCOVERY LOG.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-XXXX should be contained in a standard sized humanoid containment cell. The cell should have windows allowing a view of the outside, and SCP-XXXX should be given easy access to books, drawing appliances, a treadmill, and games. Most importantly, a water basin the size of a standard bathtub is allowed, and should always be filled with water. Due to SCP-XXXX's compliant and friendly nature, it may move freely within the facility SCP-XXXX is not allowed to leave it's cell. SCP-XXXX has no need for food, however should be provided enough water needed to sustain a human being comfortably, this does not include the water inside the basin.

All SCP personnel are allowed to engage in friendly conversation with SCP-XXXX as long as they still have time to perform their daily duties. Any personnel who is observed engaging with SCP-XXXX inappropriately or causing it visible discomfort should be forcibly removed from the room and reprimanded.

Those tasked with handling of SCP-XXXX are required to pay extra attention to the Lunar Cycle. A week before a Full Moon, SCP-XXXX should be transported to an isolated 3m by 3m by 3m cell made out of stainless steel walls. SCP-XXXX is to be provided with the same amount of water as before, however under NO circumstance should any other sources of water be present in the cell. It is required to have as constant air conditioning as well as 1 space heater. Large containers of desiccants are to be placed inside, and regularly replaced as they absorb water. Access into the room should be limited to prevent moisture from the air outside the cell from moving in, thus the only time any personnel should be allowed into the cell is to deliver water and replace the desiccants. Personnel granted access in the cell are can only stay inside long enough to do their jobs and them must leave immediately. These personnel are instructed to wear full body anti-envrionment suits.

SCP-XXXX itself is unaffected by these procedures to dry the air. When the lunar event occurs, NO personnel should enter the cell for any reason due to the large likelihood of life loss, and are advised to stay clear of SCP-XXXX's cell during this period.

Description:

SCP-XXXX is a sapient collection of water molecules which can take the form of any living thing. SCP-XXXX moves through the air. When not in the form SCP-XXXX-A or SCP-XXXX-B, it is typically dispersed into various bundles of water molecules around an area making it invisible to the naked eye. However, SCP-XXXX can also condense itself into a visible mass of floating water, weighing 20.7 Litres on average. This fluctuates because SCP-XXXX can add to it's body mass using water from the environment, and it can reduce it's mass by expelling water molecules from it's body mass back into the environment.

Mimicry

When SCP-XXXX condenses it's body, it can also choose to take the form of any organism it has seen before. SCP-XXXX doesn't simply resemble the organism it chooses to mimic, SCP-XXXX is able to turn itself into living flesh when condensing to create a perfect clone of the organism. When SCP-XXXX copies the form of a human, it is able to communicate. Thus, SCP-XXXX spends most of its time as SCP-XXXX-A.

SCP-XXXX-A is an adolescent caucasian male between the ages 17 and 18 years old with dark hair and slim build and 1.7m in height. SCP-XXXX has however shown the ability to take the form of humans with various ages and appearances. These forms are not created by SCP-XXXX, but rather are perfect physical copies of individuals it has seen before. SCP-XXXX claims SCP-XXXX-A is an individual by the name T██████ ██████.

SCP-XXXX-A is the only form of SCP-XXXX with it's own name because of the lengthy amount of time it spends in this form, and because it has expressed a liking of SCP-XXXX-A during interviews.

SCP-XXXX-B is unanimously given to all other forms SCP-XXXX merges itself into, excluding SCP-XXXX-A.

SCP-XXXX can copy the form of any organism. However SCP-XXXX-B can only copy an organism's appearance, method of locomotion, and ability to speak. Attempts for SCP-XXXX to merge into SCP-XXXX-B of other organisms in Containment proved unsuccessful, as SCP-XXXX-B was only a copy of their non-anomalous properties, not the anomalous ones.

Both the above forms can regenerate themselves using external sources of water. Injuries will not kill SCP-XXXX, however it still prefers to heal the injuries because they weaken and cause pain to SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX can be effectively sedated and otherwise incapacitated while merged.

The merging and de-merging process is instantaneous. SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B will both seem to materialize out of thin air, and will dissipate just as easily.


Lunar Phase Connection - IMPORTANT

SCP-XXXX appears to be connected to the moon. While SCP-XXXX's behaviour is evidently sporadic, neurotic, and volatile, this is amplified in the week leading up to a Full Moon. SCP-XXXX will gradually become more aggressive in this period, and will take on more dangerous forms, usually an Apex predator.

The Special Containment Procedures are to limit SCP-XXXX's access to free-moving water, which reduces it's power.

During the lunar event, SCP-XXXX will not take any form unless there is enough water in the air. If there isn't, it will condense itself into a visible mass of water and relentlessly hurl itself at the walls of the cell, attempting to escape containment until the event is over. After which, SCP-XXXX's behaviour will go back to normal and it will have no memory of its behaviour during the event or the week leading up to it. At this point SCP-XXXX will be compliant and friendly, and there should be no resistance expected in transporting it back to it's usual containment room.

While SCP-XXXX isn't strong enough to break out of the cell providing there isn't enough water, the breach attempt should not be taken lightly. If SCP-XXXX manages to break out of the cell, it will soon be exposed to air with enough moisture for it to be lethal and destructive, potentially causing a chain reaction of containment breaches. Considering SCP-XXXX has the ability to instantly materialize and dissipate at will, tracking it's movement and attempting to slow it down will prove extremely difficult.
The best method to stop SCP-XXXX is to take advantage of the moments it becomes SCP-XXXX-B and use any method to incapacitate it.


Addendums:

Addendum-XXXX-1: Previously classified as 'Safe' because of SCP-XXXX's compliant nature and lack of ever attempting containment breach, it has been re-classified as 'Euclid'. This is following a sudden change in behaviour in SCP-XXXX, as it is now refusing to cooperate with any Foundation personnel, taking larger and intimidating forms and attempting to force itself out of containment. It has started to attack and injure the D-class personnel who handle it, and is needing to be tranquillized. There is currently no explanation for this rapid change in behaviour.

  • Addendum-XXXX-1-A: SCP-XXXX has only increasingly become more aggressive, and has since been transported to a more secure cell. As of yet, SCP-XXXX has not caused any casualties.
  • Addendum-XXXX-1-B: SCP-XXXX breached containment, and in the process killed 10 Security personnel and 15 D-Class personnel. SCP-XXXX took the form of various apex predators during the breach, and was able to escape harm for 20 minutes by continuously dissipating and then materializing in random positions. SCP-XXXX was only subdued and re-contained after one security member was able to shoot SCP-XXXX while momentarily SCP-XXXX-B with a fast-acting tranquilizer. SCP-XXXX regained consciousness the next morning and insists to have no recollection of the incident, however expresses remorse over the loss of life it caused.
  • Addendum-XXXX-1-C: After further questioning of SCP-XXXX, it was revealed that SCP-XXXX experiences monthly black-outs, where it has no recollection of it's actions of the previous week. Considering this information, researchers deduced that SCP-XXXX's behaviour is somehow connected to the lunar cycle and the full moon, since this period correlates to the recorded timing of SCP-XXXX's change in behaviour as well as the dates it has no memory of. Special Containment procedures have been updated accordingly.

Addendum-XXXX-2: Because SCP-XXXX has never expressed any desire to escape or ever intentionally tried to breach containment, and due to SCP-XXXX's cooperative nature, it is allowed free movement within the facility.

  • Addendum-XXXX-2-A:

If merged, SCP-XXXX is to stay in the form SCP-XXXX-A while outside containment, and especially to not copy the appearance of any Foundation Staff member for obvious security reasons. Some Foundation personnel have expressed their discontent at seeing a clone of themselves navigating the premises, stating "It's fucking weird, man."

  • Addendum-XXXX-2-B: SCP-XXXX is to always stay in the form SCP-XXXX-A while outside containment, after receiving complaints that SCP-XXXX has been "jump-scaring" Foundation Staff by suddenly materializing in front of or behind them. Some complaints have detailed SCP-XXXX condensing into a solid mass of water, before hurling itself at Foundation member's groin area to give the impression they urinated themselves.

Researcher's Note: Seriously? Jesus Christ.

  • Addendum-XXXX-2-C: SCP-XXXX is now restricted inside their cell for an undetermined amount of time. This is because in response to the above Addendum, SCP-XXXX decided to retaliate by first un-merging, floating into the cafeteria during a lunch break, and merging itself into the form of SCP-682 in the middle of the room, causing immediate chaos and distress. Security feed shows SCP-XXXX chasing petrified Foundation personnel around the facility as SCP-682, before becoming SCP-XXXX-A and falling to the floor in a fit of laughter. Despite SCP-XXXX's punishment, it still remains cooperative and pleasant to talk too.

Researcher's Note: Ok, setting aside SCP-XXXX's completely immature behaviour, I would also like to strictly demand that whichever imbecile who showed SCP-XXXX a picture of SCP-682 - allowing it to permanently learn that form - to turn themselves in to the O5 Council for punishment and an immediate psychiatric evaluation. I mean, come on! Who in their right mind would show an already neurotic shape-shifting sapient entity, which tries to kill everyone in sight every month, an image of possibly our most dangerous organism currently in containment?
