Special containment procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be classified as Safe, Dark, and Notice outside of approved testing or when in use as a Thaumiel object. All tests of Keter, Keneq or above, and Danger or above are not to be attempted.

SCP-XXXX-B is to be stored in a safe class storage unit, with SCP-XXXX-B capable of being seen from the adjacent hallway. SCP-XXXX-B is to be stored in a Keter class containment unit(See attached document XXXX/Storage) with a checking of its condition is to be carried out not less than once every twelve hours when not being tested on.

The official copy of this file is to be stored on a computer that can not receive information from the internet or other external devices, and is to be protected by the best firewall reasonably available to the Foundation.

If a XXXX-Z Black event takes place, procedure XXXX/Zred is to be taken into effect. All staff on site 81 are to be told to be prepared to evacuate in the case of a XXXX/red event.(See attached document, XXXX/Zred)

All staff on site 81 are to be told to be prepared to evacuate in the case of a XXXX/red event.

Research into discovering more information on Hectic Youngs is to be continued. Hectic Youngs is to be apprehended if possible.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an object that changes based upon its object classification within the Foundation, with any official foundation object classification being capable of being applied to and subsequently altering SCP-XXXX's state. All similarly classified states share at least one common trait, for example each observed states of SCP-XXXX classified as Safe has manifested as a baseball, and every observed instance of SCP-XXXX classified as Euclid has manifested as a gemstone.

Each instance of SCP-XXXX has been assigned a alphanumeric identification in addition to the SCP's normal identification, as well as a few of the anomalies that have been manifested by SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX-B is a green baseball of regulation size and weight. SCP-XXXX-B can be picked up and otherwise interacted with by a subject with no apparent anomalous properties as long as the subject does not have an understanding of the rules of baseball.

When SCP-XXXX-B is being held by a subject who does understand the rules of baseball, SCP-XXXX-B-1 will appear 18.44 m in front of the subject if there is no object blocking the space between the subject and SCP-XXXX-B-1's intended manifestation point. SCP-XXXX-B-1 is a wooden baseball bat made of greenheart wood, with the inscription 'Hectic Occurrences' engraved into its handle.

Once SCP-XXXX-B-1 has manifested, it will levitate in place, moving only in correspondence to significant change in the location of the subject holding SCP-XXXX-B. If SCP-XXXX-B is not thrown, SCP-XXXX-B will participate in activities such as swinging itself in the way a professional baseball batter might warm up, and hitting the ground directly below it. If SCP-XXXX-B is thrown within a certain range (approximately 1 meter) of SCP-XXXX-B-1, SCP-XXXX-B-1 will swing and hit SCP-XXXX-B with perfect accuracy towards any human other than the subject within 130 metres, in such a fashion that the target will require only minimal effort to catch SCP-XXXX-B.

When SCP-XXXX-B is hit, SCP-XXXX-B-1 will demanifest 74 seconds later if SCP-XXXX-B is not returned to the original pitcher, and will remanifest if in the hands of a viable subject. To date, SCP-XXXX-B-1 has never missed once it has swung.

Addendum 1a:

Recovery source: A paranormal forum based on forest oddities.

Foreword: This conversation was recorded after the recovery of SCP-XXXX-A (Extraneous activity has been omitted due to its irrelevance, though a full log can be found in file XXXX/1/F1)

<Begin Log, 10:17 12/19/2014>

Nocturnal-Critter85: Hey, I found this really weird thing in the woods today, and was wondering if anyone could help me?

[Admin]MoonSun: Sure thing Critter, what did you find?

CrossedxSpars: Yeah! we can tell you basically anything about the woods!

JumperJeminai: Do you have a picture?

Nocturnal-Critter85: No, I dont have a photo.

Nocturnal-Critter85: I dont own a phone, just using my computer.

SpookyLama: Well, what is the thing?

Nocturnal-Critter85: The thing is a ball out in the middle of the woods, about the size of a baseball floating around the height of my waist.

[Admin]MoonSun: …. What?

[A conversation ensues about the reliability of user Nocturnal-Critter85]

JumperJeminai: Where do you live?

Nocturnal-Critter85: ██████ city

SpookyLama: Hold on, I live near there, Ill go with a few friends to see if he's lying to us

Nocturnal-Critter85: I'll meet you at the ██████ library.

[Data omitted for brevity]

SpookyLama: Holy cow, I just got home, and can hardly believe Im typing this, but Critter was right.

[Mod]HecticY: Right about what?

JumperJeminai: OMG Really?

SpookyLama: Yeah, about the ball floating in the woods!

SpookyLama: Its real, and no matter what we did, it would not move.

CrossedxSpars: You touched it?

Nocturnal-Critter85: Yeah?

SpookyLama: Why not?

CrossedxSpars: With how strange it is, how did you not know it was poisonous? or some kind a creature that could hurt you.

[Admin]MoonSun: Wait, the ball was real?

SpookyLama: … I didn't think off that

Nocturnal-Critter85: What do we do with it now?

JumperJeminai: Probably report it to the papers or something.

[Mod]HecticY: Probably to ████ ██████ ███ ███████1

Nocturnal-Critter85: Why there? Thats an address, not a organization

[Mod]HecticY: Ive had experience with them2

[Admin]MoonSun: Hectic, have you been holding out on us?

[Mod]HecticY: They've never come up, but you can trust me on this.

[Foundation AI at this point noticed the forum, where a MTF was set to recover the object and amnestisize all first and second hand witnesses]

Addendum 1b: SCP-XXXX-A was recovered on 12/25/2014, due to its immovable nature, a temporary site was erected around the object until more could be ascertained about its nature.

Addendum 1c: Upon the classification of SCP-XXXX3, its form and properties changed that of SCP-XXXX-B, and as of writing, replication of SCP-XXXX's original state has not been succseful.

After the disappearance of SCP-XXXX-A, a code yellow search was put into place for approximately 13 hours, before the discovery of SCP-XXXX-B, though the search continued as Foundation MTFs did not realize that they already had the object in their possession. After approximately 24 hours, the object classification on the object was changed to Euclid/Dark/Notice, when SCP-XXXX underwent a change from SCP-XXXX-B to SCP-XXXX-C.

Shortly afterwards the code yellow search was called off, and testing on the true nature of SCP-XXXX began.

Addendum 1d: After the recovery and transport of SCP-XXXX, the object was relocated to site 81, new containment procedures were put into place, though testing was commenced upon the conclusion that both the creation of a SCP-XXXX document and its first update caused SCP-XXXX to transform.

Addendum 2a: Testing logs of SCP-XXXX

Incident Log XXXX-A

Date: 12/30/2014

Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B

New classification: Euclid/Dark/Notice

Precautions: None

Results: SCP-XXXX underwent a change from SCP-XXXX-B(A green baseball) to a Emerald with the pear shape, which has been designated as SCP-XXXX-C. SCP-XXXX-C was observed to move north(357 degrees) at a rate of 1 mph.

Notes: We were lucky to contain SCP-XXXX this time, this tells us we were not keeping a close enough eye on the object.

Addendum 2b: Due to the properties of SCP-XXXX testing using non-standard classes was allowed to try and potentially find more of the nature of SCP-XXXX or find a use as a thaumiel or other similar item.

Addendum 3: Incident Log XXXX-Ω (Hectic Youngs story[Smack myself if I don't remove this once done])

[Not finished, still working on this as a first draft]

Note: Play around with different ways of identifying SCP instances. Current suggestions are numbers, and version
Probably add some of the tests in a side document.
