Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Embedded agents in workplaces are to monitor and confirm any occurrences of SCP-XXXX. MTF Xi-5 ("Cleaning Duty") is to clear any remnants left over by SCP-XXXX and transport them to Site-01 for analysis and storage. To minimize the spread of knowledge surrounding the anomaly, any mentions of SCP-XXXX are expunged from any planned public safety manuals. Instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are to be detained in humanoid confinement chambers and provided basic necessities in accordance with the United Nations Anomalies Right Act.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a poorly-understood procedure that occurs in workplaces, often in unsupervised or visually obscured areas, such as toilets and break rooms. In the latter, surveillance footage is retrievable, yet the complete sequence that each human subject (hereby designated as SCP-XXXX-1) undergoes during SCP-XXXX cannot be ascertained. As described in the following:

  • SCP-XXXX-1, often seen working, abruptly stops and surveys its surroundings slowly.
  • After two minutes, SCP-XXXX-1 exits the workplace, disregarding any prior work done.
  • In 68% of occurrences, SCP-XXXX-1 walks to the break room. If this room is occupied, SCP-XXXX-1 positions themselves furthest away from coworkers, and looks at their mobile phone1 until they leave.
  • Once the room is empty, SCP-XXXX-1 locks the door and switches off the lights.
  • SCP-XXXX-1 positions themselves and stands, immobile, at the center of the room for 30 seconds.
  • After which, it yawns, and begins to convulse. Their head snaps up to the ceiling with the mouth opening agape multiple times in quick succession throughout the entirety of the footage.
  • The entire body seizes in its upright position, while the arms twist at unnatural angles, including fingers. SCP-XXXX-1 then collapses with their lower limbs dislocating themselves.
  • SCP-XXXX-1 exhibits internal hemorrhaging; a mixture of blood and a viscous black liquid begin to escape from any orifice.
  • Large, irregularly-shaped protrusions extrude from the body, before they settle back down. These bulges begin from the lower limbs to the head, causing unnaturally large expansions of their body parts. Subsequently, the view is completely obscured by human viscera and blood.

Investigations by embedded assets reveal the aftermath of SCP-XXXX: a hollow corpse identical in appearance to SCP-XXXX-1, without their skeletal, muscular and digestive systems. The eyeballs are torn from their eye sockets.

A trail, composed of human blood (identical in DNA to SCP-XXXX-1) and a viscous black liquid (examined to contain cortisol hormone levels higher than the average human) leads from the remains to the nearest ventilation shaft. Subsequent examinations of the vents did not reveal any findings, apart from occasional civilian testimonies of hearing muffled yawns, sighs and sobs from the vents.

30 minutes later, an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 emerges from the same shaft. SCP-XXXX-2 is the collective designation assigned to an unconfirmed number of emaciated humanoids of varying height and weight. Various abnormalities include, but are not limited to:

  • Charred pigmentation of skin, which exhibits greater elasticity than the human epidermis. Applying pressure exudes a viscous, black substance identical in chemical structure to the trail.
  • Three orifices equidistantly interspersed on their face.
    • Two orifices are hollow and situated on the upper half of the face. The third remains open at all times, revealing a full set of adult teeth and gum.

SCP-XXXX-2 instances do not vocalize, save for audible wheezes through their third orifice. These also suffer from retrograde amnesia, often being unresponsive to visual aid or audio snippets of their loved ones.

Currently, 58 instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are in containment. 47 of these instances sit on the floor, tapping repeatedly on any nearby surface with their fingers; the importance of this behavior is uncertain.
