The Silhouette

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment procedures: SCP-XXXX must be contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber at floor 5 of Site-88. The containment chamber must be 0,0003 lux at most. Personnel must enter every 2 months for maintenance checks due to SCP-XXXX attempting to frequently breach containment. At least two personnel must be armed due to possible attack. The containment chamber can be accessed with an 8 number code that a no less than class 3 personnel can retrieve from the zone manager.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 1,8 meter tall biological entity, that resembles a black silhouette of a human male. SCP-XXXX has white luminescent eyes. When SCP-XXXX is exposed to light, it will either try to destroy the light source, or dash into a dark spot to up to 18,1 kilometers an hour. If SCP-XXXX cannot escape or destroy the source of light, it will dash into the corner with the least amount of light. SCP-XXXX seems to be the least aggressive when in an environment below 0,0003 lux.

SCP-XXXX has extremely sharp digits, and doesn't seem to have nails at all. SCP-XXXX is aggressive towards anybody who enters it's containment chamber. SCP-XXXX has shown no signs of needing or eating food. SCP-XXXX has tried to kill every person that has come into contact with it, and stalks it's victims for approximately 2 minutes before becoming aggressive. SCP-XXXX prefers to stay in corners, the reason for this is unknown.

Addendum XXXX-A: SCP-XXXX seems to aggressively want to breach containment. Request for increased containment security.¹

Addendum XXXX-B: SCP-XXXX is sensitive to light, which could be used to prevent containment breaches by installing bright lights into the surrounding hallways.

Addendum XXXX-C: 3/7/2002 SCP-XXXX has killed two D-class personnel while an attempted breach. Security has to be increased.

+ TEST LOG XXXX-A

Test A - 1/6/2001

Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: D-7365 was escorted into SCP-XXXXs containment chamber and was told to flash a flashlight at SCP-XXXX
Results: SCP-XXXX started to run towards D-7365 and stabbed D-7365 in the heart, causing lethal damage.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX will aggressively try to destroy all and any light source when light is exposed to it.

+ TEST LOG XXXX-B

Test B - 2/6/2001

Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: SCP-XXXXs containment chamber was illuminated with 2 lux of light.
Results: SCP-XXXX started to walk quickly around the containment chamber and dashed and collided on the observing glass in the wall where the light was emitted. Shortly after it walked to the corner of the room where there was the least light and sat down.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX is sensitive to faint light and will make an attempt of stopping the source from emitting it.

+ TEST LOG XXXX-C

Test C - 4/6/2001

Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: SCP-XXXXs containment chamber was illuminated with 50 lux of light.
Results: SCP-XXXX started frantically dashing into and hitting the observing glass. After ten seconds the experiment had to be ceased due to a crack in the observing glass.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX is extremely sensitive to 50 lumens of light and will actively try to destroy the light source, even going to extreme lengths.

[BEGIN LOG]

Dr. Ryans: Hello D-15343. I am here to ask you some general questions.

D-15343: Ok.

Dr. Ryans: Great. So, how did the attempted breach take place?

D-15343: Well, we were just checking for cracks while keepin' an eye on the damn creeper. Got tasers ready to zap it. Well, i guess everybody just looked away from the thing. Lunged straight at D-9174 was it? Yeah it was.

Dr. Ryans: Ok. What happened next?

D-15343: It just casually pierced his chest like a god damn serial killer. Like it had done it several times.

Dr. Ryans: How did you handle the situation?

D-15343: I was fucking startled. I had no time to react until it came over to the other guy, i don't remember him that well. The thing took his head into it's palm and just squeezed, that was not a pretty sight, i'll spare you from the details

Dr. Ryans: uhhuh, continue

D-15343: I just tasered it. The guards came there in time and got the security systems working again.

Dr. Ryans: Ok that's enough i think were done here. Thank you for your cooperation. Take him to his cell.
