Talon-3 Alpha

Item #: SCP-4864

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Subject is to not be approached. SCP-4864 has to be confined within an armored dome atleast five meters thick around its position, no less than twenty-five meters radius between the walls and SCP-4864 due to a psychic cognitohazard inducing field and with a single reinforced pane of glass interrupted as few times as necessary to maintain dome integrity going the entire available circumference of the dome, giving a near unbroken view of SCP-4864. A single entrance way atleast two meters wide and three meters high is to remain open at any one place of the dome.

Due to an anomalous entity associated with SCP-4864, dubbed SCP-4864-1, a secondary dome is to be maintained around the first, leaving a five meter gap between them in all directions while having a single remote door requiring a Level 5 security card to gain entry. Only D-class personnel are allowed within.

While seemingly not needed for its manifestation or being critical SCP-4864's survival, a second entity named 'SCP-4864-1' will ask for biological matter through psychic means once every seven days. Providing such matter makes SCP-4864-1 less hostile when conversations are attempted.

As long as no one approaches within the corridor circling the first dome, SCP-4864-1 will not become hostile and remain in containment.

Description: SCP-4864 resembles an albino male baby of about one standard human year old, humanoid save for numerous stubby tendrils along its back, slightly pointed ears, and block-like textures underneath majority of its visible skin. Presence of baby fat is non-existent, giving it a thin physique.

The subject remains in its place, a cradle made from an unknown crystal that gives a golden radiance and looks as if the inside is made of gold and platinum liquid yet gives off truly massive levels of energy. It doesn't make noise often, and most attempts to interact with it using D-class personnel prove deadly given the constant overwatch by SCP-4864-1.

In the ten years since discovery of SCP-4864, it has shown extremely slow physical growth- slower than that of even trees, suggesting that it will be extremely long-lived.

Biological matter placed in front of SCP-4864-1 is taken to SCP-4864 where it is dissolved into unknown particles upon coming within half a meter of the infantile entity and fed like a stream into SCP-4864's mouth.

A large variety of biological matter has been provided, ranging from crops to live animals. No matter whether the matter is living or non-living, as long as it is organic, 4864-1 will accept it. Various amounts have been given, from a few crumbs to up to one-hundred kilograms resulting in varying results.

Anything over half a kilogram is accepted easily enough and SCP-4864-1 will not show hostility, and 4864 shows no issue in consuming matter over a hundred times its apparent mass, yet anything under that will result in SCP-4864 accepting it with seeming reluctance.

One instance had a D-class personnel dropping just a few crumbs in front of her mockingly. Note His attitude was of his own volition. We still have no idea what he was thinking.

It lashed out with a kick that sent D-class #6855 flying into the wall of the enclosure with such force that his body ignited from the atmospheric friction before impact and only blood smears remained along the floor and wall with his every bone shattered into thousands of pieces. This incident prompted the outer dome to be reinforced along the outside of it with a five foot thick tungsten shell in the case SCP-4864-1 kicks something else that smashes through the enclosure.

Another similar offer had SCP-4864-1 drag the D-class into the inner dome, throwing him at the feet of the cradle where he was broken down into particles and fed into SCP-4864. Let it be known for the record that for an unknown reason at the time, he seemed to become delirious with awe and joy even as his body broke apart.

This caused a notable growth of atleast a couple of inches for SCP-4864. The unknown consequences of this caused O-5 to order a ban on anything less than two kilograms per meal and only of crops or livestock, and only by D-class personnel with a sense of self-preservation.

No negative side-effects have been shown when the request is not fulfilled aside from a more visceral death to any approaching D-class personnel that enters the corridor that 4864-1 constantly walks with no bio matter to offer.

O-5 has determined that due to the intelligent sapience of 4864-1, unexpected benefits might come if such a simple request is complied with consistently, yet no samples of technology or knowledge are to be given. With such a schedule having remained unmolested for nine years, SCP-4864, 4864-1, and 4864-2 are to be confirmed 'Contained'.
