Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to have fifthteen tons of SCP-XXXX-Beta airdropped into it at a bidaily interval, five tons are to be dropped near three sides. If this requirement isn't met, it will expand at a rate of [DATA EXPUNGED] per day. When exposed to SCP-XXXX-Beta, SCP-XXXX recoils and shrinks by 20%; it will proceed to escape towards the nearest opening at a rate of 1 km/h. Attempts to completely surround it will result in it shrinking to 90% then violently expanding in size beyond what it previously was, increasing temperatures surrounding it to 322 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
All attempts to recreate its' pre-discover containment have failed. The SCP foundation has brought in numerous Buddhist monks and supplied them with knowledge that the Foundation recovered at SCP-XXXX-Alpha. All monks have either failed or died attempting to recreate the containment procedures; surviving monks are given Class-C amnestics while the fatalities are given cover stories.
Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a slow moving, 6km x 6km x 1km cloud that is located in the area commonly known as the North-South Korean DMZ. It gradually changes colors but never changes into a variation of black, white, or grey. When entered, SCP-XXXX is just like any normal cloud haze. However, there is a [DATA UNAVAILABLE] chance that instances of SCP-XXXX-01 will appear. SCP-XXXX-01 instances have the appearance of lightning ranging from 5m to 20m, that also fluctuate in color.
Discovery: On April 10th, 1951 the Foundation detected large amounts of radiation emanating from the Korean peninsula, the following day General Douglas MacArthur was relieved of military command. On April 12th, 1951 SCP-XXXX was witnessed by reconnaissance teams half a kilometer from the nuclear epicenter; at the time of discovery SCP-XXXX was only 100m x 100m x 50m. The following day SCP-XXXX had increased to 1km x 1km x 200m. Foundation field agents were sent into SCP-XXXX on April 13th, 1951 and to where it was first sighted since it drifted 10km westwards. Radiation reported by both groups of agents were considered normal for nuclear fallout for their areas.
Foundation agents found a charred cave entrance, designated SCP-XXXX-Alpha, 70m from the nuclear epicenter and formed a perimeter; the cave appeared manmade and spiraled downwards for around 20m. At the end of the cave was what appeared to be a door hole that at its base was most likely the ash from a wooden door. Upon walking through the door there was a 3m x 10m x 3m room; the walls of the room were written in what appeared to be some form of archaic Korean painted in a black material that absorbed 99.965% of all light. This material has been designated SCP-XXXX-Beta. At the end of the room was what appeared to be a nuclear shadow of somebody sitting down in meditation. The agents that entered SCP-XXXX reported no abnormalities other than its changing colors. After 10 minutes they had exited on the opposite side.
Foundation scientists arrived at SCP-XXXX-Alpha in the late hours of April 13th, to learn of SCP-XXXX's origin and possible previous containment; by that time, SCP-XXXX had increased its volume by 50%. Historic linguists were brought in and could translate most phrases on the cave walls, but four of the phrases caused one of the linguists to suffer a severe migraine while the other two fell unconscious. When questioned afterwards, the linguists couldn't remember what was written. Readers of modern Korean and non-Korean readers suffered no ill-effects of the four phrases, but obviously couldn't interpret what they meant. Some of the material that the phrases were painted in was scraped off and analyzed. The material's chemical structure was easily identifiable and could easily be mass produced.
Addendum 04-14-1951: The phrases painted on the cave wall were repainted in SCP-XXXX-Beta on the side of military jeeps and driven into SCP-XXXX by D-Class personnel. The D-Class recorded an increase of temperature by 5 degrees Celsius and increased winds surrounding the jeeps. Later a jeep completely covered in SCP-XXXX-Beta and drove into SCP-XXXX. This time upon entering, 3m surrounding the jeep retracted and temperatures increased by 20 degrees Celsius. The Foundation proceeded to spray mist of SCP-XXXX-Beta into SCP-XXXX with similar results.
Addendum 04-15-1951: Foundation aircraft proceeded to airdrop large amounts of SCP-XXXX-Beta all around SCP-XXXX; SCP-XXXX shrunk 90% but then rapidly expanded to its' current size of 6km x 6km x 1km. Aircraft were used again to drop SCP-XXXX-Beta but only on three sides, this caused SCP-XXXX to move away from where the SCP-XXXX-Beta was dropped.
Addendum 04-19-1951: The Foundation led SCP-XXXX to the Sea of Japan in order to contain it offshore to reduce the chance of discovery. Unfortunately, when SCP-XXXX encountered the sea it began to sink. Measures were quickly taken to lead it back ashore.
Arrival of SCP-XXXX-1 Instances: On April 20th, 1951, foundation personnel reported lightning moving within SCP-XXXX. These strands of lightning have been designated as SCP-XXXX-1. Two D-Class personnel, D-7744 and D-888, were sent to investigate. When the two reached 150m of SCP-XXXX the SCP-XXXX-1 instances began to congregate to the area directly in front of them. When the personnel were within 20m, they reported that the SCP-XXXX-1 instances were no longer breaking apart but staying uniform. Within 5m of the cloud, they reported two dull orbs of light floating near one end of each instance of SCP-XXXX-1, the instances also began to rapidly change color at a faster rate than SCP-XXXX.
D-888 was instructed to walk into SCP-XXXX, when his hand went into the cloud, all instances of SCP-XXXX-1 descended to the ground. D-888 reluctantly walked all the way in and SCP-XXXX-1 instances parted in any direction he walked towards. After 5 minutes, D-888 reported that he began to see an outline of several pillars forming 9m from the edge of the haze. D-888 was instructed to walk up to the pillars and make contact. When D-888 made contact with one of the pillars he reported that it began to glow also in a multicolored hue. Meanwhile, D-7744, who was still outside SCP-XXXX didn't report any pillars but could still see D-888.
