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.
[The subject is almost always accompanied by an indistinct, astral humanoid form approximately three point two meters tall, poised as if looking down on it. The entity- dubbed SCP-4864-2 never moves from its position over 4864 while manifested. For exactly fifteen minutes every month, 4864-2 will disappear, causing the infant subject to become irritated which has a direct influence upon 4864-1 who will react with greater hostility towards any approach of personnel and drone, and from any anomalous means, such as using a psychic or astral projection to communicate with it.
Whether SCP-4864-1 and 4864-2 are manifested by SCP-4864 or are entirely different entities have yet to be verified but popular theory indicates they are, in fact, three different entities.]
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'.
Item # SCP-4864-1
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4864-1 is to be confined within the outer dome surrounding the inner dome that contains SCP-4864 and 4864-2, leaving a five meter wide walking route around the entire circumference of the inner dome. The inner dome is to have a single five feet wide and eight feet high opening for whenever 4864-1 enters and exits the dome to give the weekly provided biological matter to SCP-4864, as well as as few interruptions in the view of 4864 for 4864-1 as possible.
Save for extremely rare circumstances or to drop off food, personnel are not to enter the outer dome without remote O-4 clearance and O-5 approval, though only D-class personnel are allowed inside.
Description: SCP-4864-1 has the form of a tall humanoid female of similar, or most likely the same, species as 4864. Subject has a constant field of a light and sensor absorbing aura around it, possibly just a couple of inches from its skin but the absorbing nature of it makes this impossible to verify with any degree of accuracy.
However, much like how one searches for a black hole by looking for the light distortions around it, such a method has been used to get some closely calculated imagery of the subject. SCP-4864-1 stands around eight feet tall. It possesses slightly elongated legs from the feet to the knees, a tall, thin body and an indistinct face bearing very few similarities in facial structure to a human female.
An important deviation from the recognizable humanoid form are four six-feet long articulated tendrils sprouted from the subject's back. They wave constantly and on their tips, light and sensors distort the least and a purple glowing orb can be visible even to the naked eye on each tendril. The biological function of these tendrils is unconfirmed yet researchers theorize they help 4864-1 sense its surroundings as they immediately focus towards any signs of activity in the dome not of the inner dome's occupants or itself, though through which method these tendrils recognize foreign bodies is unknown.
Most noticeable is how even with the absorption field, a mix-mash of armor and a pair of weapons can be seen, though only when it's about to attack for the latter. Visibility of the armor is only visible when the pair of weapons are manifested. The armor appears like that of a knight's, with overlapping armored leggings that squeeze the legs, a set of overlapping chest plates dominating the left side of its chest with little on the right half, a rerebrace and gauntlet on the left arm, and overlapping plates forming a single pauldron on the left shoulder.
As for the weapons it will manifest when coerced into violence, one is a single-handed blade the size of a full grown man with one large protrusion along the front of back edges. Sensors aimed at it can detect nothing but a void bereft of energies and particles where there should be something.
The other weapon is of considerable concern as it resembles a man-sized gun or cannon, proving that it as advance intelligence and not just sapience. The subject has yet to fire it and any type of readings taken of it yields nothing, as if an absolute void exists in its place- same as with the sword and with many places of the subject's supposed armor. Mapping using the same 'light netting' method used for the sword, its size is around five feet in length and two in width.
There is a D-class personnel's drawing of what some researchers believe the SCP truly looks like, being a survivor when the outer dome was breached by Keter-Class SCP-████. Due to mental trauma and increasing loss of sanity of D-class #6844, the image was labeled a possible Cognitohazard and locked away.
During that brief engagement, SCP-4864-1 moved and fought in a way surrounding sensors couldn't detect and neutralized SCP-████ despite numerous previous methods by the Foundation to achieve that same result having failed. There was nothing but the signs of battle left to show SCP-████ ever existed. The surviving D-class committed suicide days later when MTF teams arrived on site to ascertain the Site-██'s operational status. Two eligible descriptions the D-class gave was gray skin and purple hair and eyes.
SCP-4864-1 was compliant with letting construction crews rebuild the outer dome to its current and more efficient specification while it stood by SCP-4864 and 4864-2. Along with using stronger materials instead of mere steel reinforced concrete and a steel shell, automated defense systems were put in place to dissuade possible breaching by either SCPs or Groups of Interest, such as Horizon Initiative, or Serpent's Hand.
Unfortunately, an on-site incident during the reconstruction resulted in the psychic cognitohazard of SCP-4864-2's presence affecting a worker when the victim accidentally came within twenty-five meters of SCP-4864. He was quickly quarantined and soon killed himself in what seemed to be both a bout of depression and yet with the smile of a man who'd seen Heaven.
There is no known way to neutralize SCP-4864-1. During the times in the early months after first containment was completed and attempts of neutralization were incessant if not slightly overenthusiastic by the site director at the time, any means of baryonic nature at harming or slowing down SCP-4864-1 were completely ineffective with the munitions impacting 4864-1's body and simply doing nothing, not even activating secondary effects inherent in explosive munitions. Even the rare usage of SCPs that manipulate time, space or reality have no effect upon 4864-1. Any attempts to experiment with SCP-4864 had been met with ruthless aggression, resulting in large loss of life.
At first, 4864-1 had fought back with superhuman strength and a ferocious brutality. After many more attempts, it seemed to realize the futility of the Foundation's efforts before they did, and simply stood still as all types of weapons ranging from kinetic and thermal to radiation and electricity hit it with zero effect. It became apparent that SCP-4864-1 possibly was, or developed into, a dynakinetic, or more worrisome, was something else entirely.
Usage of nuclear warheads were called off with some reluctance. No further attempts have been made in the nine years since to neutralize any of the three SCPs. Due to no available method to move SCP-4864- and by proxy, 4864-1 and 4864-2- Site-██ was built around it. Few other SCPs are kept due to the unknowable reaction SCP-4864-1 might have after the last breach incident.
Given the nature of SCP-4864 and 4864-2 having been possibly discovered during the month long worship by the former town's people before their mass suicide that caught the Foundation's attention, it's more than possible that a rival organization has gotten wind of the site's rapidly built location so a heavy garrison was stationed there along with the site being more fortified against outside intrusion than other sites that rely more on isolation and secrecy.
Addendum SCP-4864-1 Classification Discussion - Due to the incident and the destruction of 20% of Site-██ and the neutralization of a Keter-class SCP that the Foundation had no way of eliminating at the time, the potential of SCP-4864-1 as a possible Thaumiel asset cannot be overlooked though means of attaining a motivating factor for its compliance is ongoing.
Due to after battle reports showing that wherever its blade had cut, any structure-no matter how sturdy the material or reinforced with anomalous properties from beneficial SCPs it was- was seemingly deleted from existence in its entirety, the O-5 council is in talks to possibly change 4864-1's classification to Keter since it has the potential to effortlessly escape containment.
Proposals are also being sent to the respective Site Directors and O-5 Council to initiate confrontations between SCP-4864-1 and known hard to kill SCPs.
Item # SCP-4864-2
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedure: Subject 4864-2 is to not be approached to within twenty-five meters. Subject has never deviated from its spot over SCP-4864 except for the exact fifteen minutes every month when it disperses. Due to the unknown nature of its existence, whether as a separate entity or an astral projection of some sort by 4864, as well as the threat of an unstoppable retaliation by 4864-1 should it perceive 4864 threatened, no means of hostile containment of SCP-4864 and 4864-2 have been taken.
As such, 4864-2 has been able to 'escape' containment for fifteen minutes every month for the past ten years with no means of stopping it. Aside from the passive threat posed by 4864-1's presence, the lack of any anomalous or physical effects detrimental or even noticeable to the Foundation as a whole has given no cause for them needing to justify the inevitable loss of personnel and resources trying to contain it would bring about.
Description: First discovered in ██████████, ████████████████████, on ██/██/████, researchers believe this was due to possible mental influence on SCP-4864-2's part leading local residents to its and SCP-4864's position but such an exertion of influence has not been recorded by Foundation personnel since containment.
Foundation teams only learned of it a month after when words were overheard by other locals which garnered enough curiosity to secretly investigate the baby themselves. When the news of the child in the ''golden manger'' got out, a church was quick to be built around it with residents making offerings to the ''Holy Spirit'' that presided over the baby. Anybody who stepped within twenty-five meters of the baby said to have seen Heaven as a massive city of gold and blue crystal towers with a sky so pure one could see the stars even in the day, and watching down over them all was a gargantuan woman with a smile that erased whatever mental burdens they had.
According to journals of the deceased, after they all came out of the trance, they looked upon their own flawed world and killed themselves in despair, writing many notes beforehand of their experiences and wishes for a better world. The mass death of over 300 people quickly drew the attention of the Foundation where they found the empty church and the prowling SCP-4864-1 guarding SCP-4864, the former which had never been mentioned in any of the victims' notes and journals acquired by Foundation teams.
This information- though lacking of 4864-1- still led to preventing many potential casualties after initial contact between SCP-4864-1 and the first responding containment teams and their escorting tactical response teams resulted in twelve officers engaging with and being killed by SCP-4864-1. The gathered notes allowed the remaining containment teams to quickly set up adequate cordons until more personnel could arrive.
SCP-4864-2 has never manifested a physical form- being made up of a slight aggregation of anomalous light particles vaguely in the shape of a female, most likely of the same species as 4864 and 4864-1. The largest the manifestations have become is around seven feet, seven inches tall. The lack of any sort of physical characters leave its true origin, nature and identity up to theoretical estimations and nothing more however, unlike with SCP-4864-1, sensors pointed at SCP-4864-2 burn themselves out from an influx of readings so massive and varied that Foundation researchers and technicians have yet to see anything like it. Every kind of energy reading imaginable was detected at levels not even space or stars give off.
While thermal readings in the room remain at a constant 113 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature of the apparent form of SCP-4864-2 exceeded 36,000,000 degrees Celsius before the readouts burned out.
Radiation and Gamma waves were detected rivaling that of the entire sun, as well as readings of dark energy, nuclear fusion and anti-matter explosions. This is a conglomeration of energies that have no business in the natural order of the universe and by all scientific rights should result in the destruction of planet Earth yet does not exceed the dimensions of the anomalous particles fluttering about within the area of its manifestation.
If SCP-4864-1 is likened to a black hole, SCP-4864-2 would be like a white hole. One is consumption and nothingness, while the other is creation and everything. Discovering the nature of these three entities are of upmost priority for Site-██.
The entity has never reacted to personnel outside of its twenty-five meter dome and any D-class personnel and drone sent in to try and interact with it are usually forcefully ejected by 4864-1 either with critical injuries or outright murderous prejudice.
Very few times have 4864-1 seem to change its mind at the last minute while approaching the single door of the outer dome after a faint golden light shines from the inner dome, causing the guard to back down and resume its perpetual patrol around SCP-4864 and 4864-2's dome. These instances are to be recorded, logged and made notified by O-4 personnel.
Some researchers have noted the similarities as a knight trying to protect a queen and prince in a strange land, thus the three SCPs have their unofficial alias.
