SCP-4023 being introduced to its containment cell in 4/21/20██
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4023 is to be contained in a Special humanoid containment cell at Site-██. SCP-4023 is allowed to wander freely around the site as it is accompanied by it's "hands" at all times. Due to limitations of it's avian body, SCP-4023 requires a staff member to act as it's "hands", such candidates are to be chosen by the entity, currently Junior Researcher James Cartwright holds this position. SCP-4023 is to fed three times a day with it's species preferred diet list below, however exceptions can be made by its request, grit must be left optional by every meal. It's cell must cleaned by a single janitorial staff once every 4-5 days, accompanied by it's "hands". Physical contact with the SCP-4023 is strictly forbidden outside of testing and/or via his "hands". The furnishing and appliances are listed below:
- Two (2) wooden bookcases 24.3"L x 12.4"W x 32"H stocked with novels, dictionaries, science books, and certain comics in multiple languages.
- One (1) large dog bed with extra padding and a fleece blanket that is washed once a week.
- A 30 x 20 x 12" wooden coffee table with four accompanying bean bags, interviews with the entity most often take place here.
- A 49 inch flat-screen TV atop a 30.5"L x 16.3"W x 25"H cabinet containing a Playstation 4 console, films, TV shows, documentaries, and video games for enrichment.
Description: SCP-4023 is an single adult male specimen of Raphus cucullatus or Dodo bird standing roughly 1 meter in height. It's external appearance is physically and genetically identical to non-anomalous specimens. SCP-4023 is far-sighted and while it vision matches that of many other birds objects within 4 feet of it, this issue has been with a custom set of "working" goggles that equipped and removed by its "hands". SCP-4023 has a large olfactory bulb, giving it a acute sense of smell which the entity uses to identify unseen objects, persons, and food. SCP-4023's diet consists of fruits, nuts, seeds, as well as small crustaceans and insects which are easily dispatched with the aid of its enlarged beak. Digestion is aided with gravel stones in which SCP-4023 stores in its gizzard.
SCP-4023's internal structure however, has been extremely altered and is the source of its anomalous properties. A complex network of wires and cords connected directly to the entity's vital organs, blood vessels, and nervous system. The wires are attached to a large mechanical device located the base of the spine, it's composition is currently unknown. The device has been classified as SCP-4023-1. Throughout it's containment, SCP-4023 has claimed that SCP-4023-1 is an integerable part of it's anatomy and does cause it any pain or discomfort, said anomalous properties granted by SCP-4023-1 are listed below:
Listed Properties
- SCP-4023 possesses a permeable force-field that renders the entity nearly invulnerable to kinetic and concussive damage. This process is achieved by reversing the energy output back into its source; if said damage is dealt via projectile or physical assault, the attack will be reflected back toward the user potentially resulting in dismemberment and extensive physical trauma. The mechanisms behind are poorly understood as blood samples can taken without triggering the defense and SCP-4023 is displaced proportionally to the impact and expresses pain after use.
- SCP-4023 is capable of short-range
