XXXX
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 15 m x 25 m enclosure, with padded steel walls, coated with aluminum, 15 m high and 2 m thick. The temperature must remain between 22 and 26 degrees Celsius by day, and between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius by night, with an average humidity of no more than 60%. Enclosure is to be regularly cleaned on a 1-week basis.
Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is an entity resembling a male ruminant of the genus Prolibytherium.1 The subject is 1.53 meters in height, with ossicones in resting posture increasing this by 0.7 meters. SCP-XXXX-1 is capable of rotating its osteoderms so they face forwards, meaning total height varies. SCP-XXXX-1 is capable of producing intense bursts of magnetism which attract random objects towards it. All objects captured by these pulses are comprised of metal, though not all objects that meet the above criteria are attracted. Objects recorded to be attracted by SCP-XXXX-1's pulses are as follows:
⦁ A 3–3/4" wrench, held by a maintenance worker at the time.
⦁ A large (50 cm x 80 cm x 90 cm) sheet of aluminum foil.
⦁ An electrometer situated outside of SCP-████'s containment facility.
Several casualties have been reported, caused by objects attracted by SCP-XXXX-1's magnetism. When threatened, SCP-XXXX-1 produces an electromagnetic pulse, disabling electronics. Simultaneously, its vocal cords emit a frequency of approximately 7 Hz2 for a period of five seconds, causing nausea and unconsciousness in personnel within ██ meters of the pulse's origin. Non-human subjects exposed to SCP-XXXX-1's defensive mechanism show no ill effects until approximately ██ hours after exposure. All recorded subjects enter a state of catalepsy, shortly followed by expiration. No recorded human subjects have had such drastic symptoms, and research as to why is ongoing.
SCP-XXXX-2 is a parasitic organism associated with SCP-XXXX-1. It is approximately 3 centimeters in length, resembling the nematode worm Loa loa.3 Its life-cycle directly involves SCP-XXXX-1, with instances hatching in greatest numbers from said entity. Humans parasitized by SCP-XXXX-2 are primarily infected through physical contact with eggs, which are found throughout SCP-XXXX-1's containment chamber. A timeline of post-infection events is as follows:
⦁ 5 seconds after infection: Eggs simultaneously hatch and enter the host's bloodstream.
⦁ 2–4 minutes after infection: Subject (henceforth SCP-XXXX-3) begins scratching at the area of skin where eggs were absorbed.
⦁ 24 hours after infection: SCP-XXXX-2 begins producing electrical signals, causing electrical objects touched by SCP-XXXX-3 to shut down.
⦁ 28 hours after infection: All electrical items within █ meters of SCP-XXXX-3 immediately short-circuit. Symptoms similar to mild asthma are seen at this stage.
⦁ 35 hours after infection: All electrical items within ██ meters of SCP-XXXX-3 short-circuit. Subject begins coughing up a red liquid, blood-like in consistency, apparently comprised of SCP-XXXX-2's eggs.
⦁ 48 hours after infection: All electrical items within approximately 100 meters of SCP-XXXX-3 short-circuit. All prior symptoms cease.
⦁ 48 hours, 1 minute after infection: SCP-XXXX-2 eggs fill all empty areas of host's body, and migrate to SCP-XXXX-3's skin surface via unknown means.
⦁ 50 hours after infection: Normal amount of time for a new SCP-XXXX-3 instance to be formed, should epidemic not be contained. This usually involves SCP-XXXX-3 being neutralized..
Addendum 1: SCP-XXXX-1 was initially recovered from ████ ██, north-western Inner Mongolia, China, from a market. It was advertised as a "Móshù Jiǎo Lóng" (Magic Horned Dragon)4. Subject was discovered following reports of an unknown disease, later found to be instances of SCP-XXXX-2. District was placed in quarantine for approximately ██ days, until reports of symptoms subsided. SCP-XXXX-1 was recovered during this quarantine period, as were ███ instances of SCP-XXXX-2.
Addendum 2: Portion of interview 18/12/2020.
Interviewer: Dr. █████ █████████
Interviewee: Lt. Ibrahim Abdelnour, commander of Unit █████ █████
Foreword: Interview concerning the capture of SCP-XXXX.
<Begin Log, skip to 00h-05m-15s>
Dr. █████ █████████: Okay, commencing interview with Lt. Ibrahim Abdelnour. (Looking at interviewee) I'm assuming you know why you're here. You hold information as to what transpired on ██/██/████, correct?
Lt. Ibrahim Abdelnour: Correct.
Dr. █████ █████████: Okay, let's begin. First question, what was the marketplace like? Was there anything that struck you as especially odd?
Lt. Ibrahim Abdelnour: No, not from what I remember. The only thing unusual there was that … that thing, whatever it was.
Dr. █████ █████████: Are you referring to SCP-XXXX-1?
Lt. Ibrahim Andelnour: If that's what you call the weird deer-giraffe-thing, then yeah.
Dr. █████ █████████: Okay. Second question. You were part of the attempt to contain the SCP-XXXX-2 outbreak. What was it like?
Lt. Ibrahim Abdelnour: You mean the worms?
Dr. █████ █████████: Yes.
Lt. Ibrahim Abdelnour: There was a weird atmosphere. It's the first time I've had to work in another country since ███████, so the sights, smells and sounds were completely new. We were just wandering through the jungle for ages. It took about half an hour to find the last infected.
Dr. █████ █████████: When you found them, did they resist capture at all?
Lt. Ibrahim Abdelnour: No, he … he didn't resist capture. I think he … I think he knew what was happening, so he just came with us. It must have been about ten minutes into the walk back to the quarantine zone when he just stopped, doubled over and started vomiting a shit-ton of blood. Yeah, that happened. We thought we were going to lose him at first, but he shakily got up. We managed to get him back to the quarantine zone.
Dr. █████ █████████: Did he survive?
Lt. Ibrahim Abdelnour: Yeah, he lived. I don't know how, considering how much came out, but he lived. We managed to get him back to the quarantine zone and managed to flush out the worms.
Dr. █████ █████████: How did it work?
Lt. Ibrahim Abdelnour: Normal tapeworm medicines. ███████, mainly. Even then, they didn't die. We could see from the X-Rays that they didn't die. They just … disappeared.
Dr. █████ █████████: Disappeared?
Lt. Ibrahim Abdelnour: This shit makes as much sense to me as it does to you. They just spontaneously disappeared. I don't know if they went anywhere or disintegrated or something, but they just vanished.
Dr. █████ █████████: Okay. That's the last question. Well, thank you for your cooperation, Lieutenant. Concluding interview.
