Stolen Sea Life

SCP-XXXX, this will be changed to a better image of SCP-XXXX later.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard room that has an appropriate ventilation system that allows for removal of tear gas

Description: SCP-XXXX is a piece Coral that has 4 rocky tendrils that connect to a base of a rock. SCP-XXXX when outside of water will be encased in an impenetrable bubble. The tendrils are covered in microscopic holes that allow for intake and excretion of chemicals.

SCP-XXXX excretes 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (C10H5ClN2), more commonly known as tear gas. The tear gas is excreted from the microscopic holes on the rocky tendrils which form bubbles containing the gas. These interior bubbles rise and leave the outer bubble surrounding SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX ignores the conservation of mass principle as it seemingly coverts water (H2O) into tear gas in a matter of seconds while maintaining water levels inside the bubble to ensure that no surrounding water is lost in the reaction.

The bubble is identified as water but is impervious to damage and maintains it's spherical form constantly. SCP-XXXX weighs around 0.827 kg. When SCP-XXXX is submerged in water it will still keep it's surrounding bubble and continues its chemical reactions.

When SCP-XXXX is clasped in a human subject's hand the tear gas will change into an unidentifiable neurotoxin that will cause a 4 stage reaction process that incorporates mass hallucinations and change in neuron structure of the individual's brain, each stage is listed in detail below. The neurotoxin is unidentifiable due to it only affecting the individual holding SCP-XXXX. The neurotoxin can be filtered by a standard gas mask and not effect individuals wearing this protection.

Important Notes regarding the Stages: during all stages subjects holding SCP-XXXX will remain unresponsive to speech directed towards them until this speech is altered in stage III, subjects will return to normal after a minute of SCP-XXXX being removed from their hand. SUbjects will lose all knowledge of SCP-XXXX due to alterations in the hippocampus while under the influence of its neurotoxin.

+ Stage I of SCP-XXXX neurotoxin effects

Stage I of the effect lasts for 1 minute, during this minute the subject holding SCP-XXXX will experience a pulsation of blurriness in vision at a rate of 1 pulse every 2 seconds, this will often cause nausea in the subject and result on vomiting in most cases, during this event subject brains will undergo rerouting and sprouting of neurons inside the brain, usually most neuron changes occur in the occipital, temporal and parietal lobes of the brain. Subjects are usually also unresponsive during this stage due to adverse effects of the change in neurons inside the brain.

+ Stage II of SCP-XXXX neurotoxin effects

Stage II begins immediately after Stage I concludes, subjects will begin to hallucinate that their entire surrounding area is flooding with water the rate at which water appears is unmeasurable, subjects report that the water just rises from the ground. Subjects will usually panic but not struggle for air despite these hallucinations (See interview log XXXX-A1). Use of CT Scannings shows that during Stage II the Occipital and Parietal lobes has undergone significant changes in structure and size.

+ Stage III of SCP-XXXX neurotoxin effects

Stage III begins after Stage II has completed and the entire view of the subject is submerged in water. Stage III will take 10 minutes before Stage IV commences. The subject's hallucinations will further with coral outcrops now forming in the view of the subject. The outcrops are usually avoided by the subject as they reportedly contain "sharp looking coral" and are perceived as real by the subject. Hallucinations will further continue and result in other life forms being transformed and containing physical qualities found in fish, hallucinated individuals will appear to have gills, fins and other appendages that other marine life have. Speech or noise made from hallucinated individuals will be interpreted by the subject as different shrieks and screams, this will in all cases trigger a flight response in individuals and cause them to try and escape the individuals.

+ Stage IV of SCP-XXXX neurotoxin effects

Stage IV begins after the 10 minute period of Stage III, Stage IV [Expunged], 05-Council has deemed this information unnecessary and therefore expunged the data.

Recovery Annendum XXXX-1: SCP-XXXX was first discovered by a marine biologist in Australia, specifically the Great Barrier Reef, during a routine dive Dr Mitchell spotted SCP-XXXX and removed it from its coral outcrop to study it as he had never seen coral like it before, Dr Mitchell removed SCP-XXXX from the ocean subsequently creating its bubble and initiating the creation of tear gas. Dr Mitchell then proceeded to inhale the excreted tear gas after placing SCP-XXXX down, Dr Mitchell activated his emergency distress beacon to which SCP-XXXX was given to authorities who were equipped with gas masks and shortly after to foundation agents Etsia and Rote. both Authorities and Dr Mitchell were administered A-class amnestics.

BY ORDER OF 05-COMMAND

In regards to multiple requests from researchers

SCP-XXXX will not be returned to it's original habitat in order to possibly negate it's anomalous effects, due to SCP-XXXX's abilities of ignoring the conservation of mass and producing water and tear gas indefinitely these resources are very valuable, can be utilised by the foundation, and are not being put back into the ocean. Especially in case other individuals somehow come across SCP-XXXX, therefore please stop requesting the return of SCP-XXXX to its reef. Any further requests will result in the removal of researchers from being permitted to experiment with SCP-XXXX.
