Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained in a specially modified humanoid containment cell. At least 12 kilograms of any material must be transported to where SCP-XXXX is able to consume it every 48 hours.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a 35-year-old female of European and South American descent that measures 1.88 meters in height. SCP-XXXX’s interior and exterior are currently comprised of various plastics, metals, plants, and fabrics, as well as wood, animal flesh, bone, keratin, glass, concrete, asphalt, soil, and leather. Its jaws are capable of opening to a width of at least 122 millimeters and its mouth is lined with two rows of 28 fangs of anomalously dense material.
When SCP-XXXX consumes matter of any type, that matter is removed from existence except for a small amount which is added to SCP-XXXX’s body mass. Only its eyes and mouth are exempt from this process. SCP-XXXX retains a humanoid shape regardless of the amount of matter consumed.
SCP-XXXX has shown the ability to chew through and consume any non-anomalous material and reconstruct a part of it to fit within its body. Should SCP-XXXX not consume approximately 12 kilograms within an estimated 48 hours, it becomes violent and incoherent. While in this state, subject will attempt to consume anything it is able to.
SCP-XXXX was recovered from Austin, Texas after reports surfaced of a humanoid anomaly leaving a path of wreckage along a highway between 2:14 and 5:44 on November 3, 2020. Subject claims to have been wandering the southern United States and northern Mexico for nearly two decades, lining up with reports of a missing child referred to as Carrie Galahar in 2002 near West Covina, California.
Interview XXXX-01
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. Anna Vatett
Foreword: SCP-XXXX was placed on the opposite end of a reinforced glass wall separating it from Dr. Vatett. Subject was given concrete, raw animal meat, and unprocessed wood to feed on during the interview.
<Begin Log, 17:10, November 16, 2020>
Dr. Vatett: Interview XXXX-01 has commenced. How do you feel currently?
SCP-XXXX is consuming concrete and refuses to speak
Dr. Vatett: SCP-XXXX, could you please respond?
SCP-XXXX: Okay.
Dr. Vatett: Could you answer the question? How are you feeling right now?
SCP-XXXX: Hungry.
Dr. Vatett: Very well. Do you know why you’re here?
SCP-XXXX: No.
Dr. Vatett: You’re currently being held in Site-88 for the protection of yourself and others. You must understand why you're a danger not only to people, but to the ecology of the nation, right?
SCP-XXXX: You’re afraid I’ll eat that many trees?
Dr. Vatett: You're a sloppy eater. Most of what you ravage doesn't end up getting eaten.
SCP-XXXX: I try my best, alright?
Dr. Vatett: What makes you want to eat as much as you do?
SCP-XXXX: What do you think? Hunger. I’m sure even you feel hungry from time to time.
Dr. Vatett: Well, of course, but you don't use most of it.
SCP-XXXX: Neither do you. I don't know. My body isn’t the most stable thing. Things fall out, erode, rot, or crumble pretty often. I need to keep myself fed to stay alive, same as everyone else. Just that I can’t shit. Whatever I don’t use just… goes away.
Dr. Vatett: Do you feel that? When it "goes away?"
SCP-XXXX: Lady, I hardly feel anything anymore.
Dr. Vatett: Do you remember being human? Before all of this happened? We know from our research that your name is Carrie. Is that right?
SCP-XXXX: Yep.
Dr. Vatett: How did this happen to you, Carrie?
SCP-XXXX: Fuck if I know.
Doctor Vatett sighs
Dr. Vatett: Okay, but you must remember when it happened, right?
SCP-XXXX: Yeah.
Dr. Vatett: Carrie, I need you to be more cooperative with me. Clearly what I'm asking is for you to give me an explanation of what happened during that time.
SCP-XXXX: I don’t know. Felt like my blood got thicker.
Dr. Vatett: I need more information than just that.
SCP-XXXX: I got hungry. Really hungry. I remember having something to eat on a paper plate only to eat the plate after I was done. Whoops.
Dr. Vatett: Were you always a big eater as a child?
SCP-XXXX laughs
SCP-XXXX: No.
Dr. Vatett: So this all happened unexpectedly, correct? There’s nothing you can think of that might have been the catalyst, even vaguely?
SCP-XXXX shrugs
SCP-XXXX: Your guess is as good as mine.
Dr. Vatett: Okay. What if I said I don't believe you?
SCP-XXXX: I would say you're being a nosy bitch about the whole thing.
Dr. Vatett: I'm afraid we don't live in the '90s anymore, Carrie. Women don't belittle other women by calling them bitches anymore.
SCP-XXXX: We both know that's a lie.
Dr. Vatett: Well then, if you don't like lies, then you shouldn't have a problem telling me the truth. It's in your best interest and you're not in a position to negotiate.
SCP-XXXX: We'll see about that. I've broken through better walls than this just for the thrill of it.
Dr. Vatett: Don't tempt fate. You've already killed enough innocent people in your life, haven't you?
SCP-XXXX pauses for 11 seconds
SCP-XXXX: I wouldn't say they were innocent.
Dr. Vatett: Very well. In that case, this concludes interview XXXX-01
<End Log, 17:31, November 16, 2020>
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX was relocated to its holding cell. Subject does not appear to be ready to properly respond. More time should be allowed before the next interview.
Incident Log XXXX-01
November 13, 2020
SCP-XXXX was able to breach containment by piercing the wall with its fist and chewing through the reinforced metal. One guard was killed during this breach. Subject was pacified by severing its arms and legs and relocated back to its cell. SCP-XXXX is now more heavily guarded with laser weaponry in the case of a future breach. Walls have been further reinforced from the cell's interior during SCP-XXXX’s incapacitation.
Interview XXXX-02
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. Anna Vatett
Foreword: SCP-XXXX is restrained in a full body casing before interview begins. Each of SCP-XXXX’s limbs have mostly regrown.
<Begin Log, 13:38, November 15, 2020>
Dr. Vatett: Interview XXXX-02 has commenced. Why do you want to escape containment, Carrie? Is there something you'd like to run from?
SCP-XXXX: I spent nearly two decades out doing my own thing. I rarely bothered anyone. All I want to do is eat on my own terms, not whatever you decide to feed me. There's no pleasure in that, just raw, bland, unavoidable monotony. That's not who I am and that's not what I need.
Dr. Vatett: Nothing is stopping you from making your own requests. The easiest solution would be to give you nothing but garbage from the nearest landfill, but we don't do that.
SCP-XXXX: How fucking charitable. You don’t get it. You don’t have the hunger.
Dr. Vatett: What is “the hunger?”
SCP-XXXX: I’m a monster. A creature from hell. I need to feast on everything. I've been to countless landfills and you know what? Great variety. One look at them and I felt the hunger. I look at you and I feel the hunger. I look at a car and I feel the hunger. I just want to eat.
Dr. Vatett: Is your goal to destroy everything, then?
SCP-XXXX: No. I just. Want. To eat.
Dr. Vatett: When we were investigating your life previous to this change, we noticed a history with quite a number of health care providers, one of which was a dietitian. We also came across two separate trips to the emergency room, once in 1998 and once in 2001. Both were for malnutrition. Was this a case of neglect or something else?
SCP-XXXX does not respond
Dr. Vatett: When I was 15, I struggled with my body image. I wouldn’t eat for days and I would find myself too weak to move. People called me a skeleton, but it didn't matter. It wasn't what I saw when I looked at myself. I'd ask myself how a mirror could lie if all it is is a reflection. Is that anything like what you experienced?
SCP-XXXX: Careful, now. You don’t want to sound too much like a human.
Dr. Vatett: I’m trying to find common ground. It benefits us both to know your full history and, maybe with enough of a dialogue, I can perhaps understand to some extent what you mean by this "hunger." Did you struggle with eating, Carrie?
SCP-XXXX: It doesn't matter what you went through. There's nothing else that compares. It's ravenous. Horrifying. Then you get used to it. Then you get horrified that you're used to it. Then you don't know who you are anymore. But none of that matters. All you feel is hunger. Violent, insatiable hunger. It doesn't matter what you shove down your throat, you always need more.
Dr. Vatett: You're right. I can't empathize with that. And yet here you are, giving me a coherent explanation. You must have a conscience still.
SCP-XXXX: No. No, not when I get hungry enough. Like I said, you couldn't know. It doesn't feel like anything else. I remember normalcy. I remember being fucking human. And you know what? This ain't it. All I have left is being able to roam freely and you took that away from me. What if I'm more harmful here than I am in the wild? What if you're doing yourselves a disservice by keeping me in this fucking prison?
Dr. Vatett: With all due respect, something that seems normal to you now might not have been normal to others. My own behavior wasn’t normal to many of those I loved. It was to me, but not to my parents, my sister, or my friends. My father was at his wit’s end trying to help in whatever way he could. He would do anything for me. But I'm sure you already knew that.
SCP-XXXX: Is this why you specifically requested to interview me? Closure? You think this is justice?
Dr. Vatett: We're not talking about how I feel right now. We're talking about you and your history. Were you subjected to any experimental or otherwise unusual treatments?
SCP-XXXX does not respond
Dr. Vatett: Who administered your treatments?
SCP-XXXX: Doesn’t matter. He’s dead.
Dr. Vatett: Was it by your hands?
SCP-XXXX does not respond
Dr. Vatett: Please answer the question.
SCP-XXXX: Yes.
Dr. Vatett: Do you remember his name?
SCP-XXXX: Quit it. You already know.
Dr. Vatett: For the sake of posterity, I would like to hear it regardless.
SCP-XXXX: Dr. ██████.
Dr. Vatett is silent for 38 seconds
Dr. Vatett: I see. And why did you kill him?
SCP-XXXX: I was hungry. It was his own fault.
Dr. Vatett: Perhaps he had good intentions. Did that not matter at the time? Did you not understand that it would have repercussions?
SCP-XXXX: I’m done talking to you.
Dr. Vatett flips through her documents and is silent for 12 seconds
Dr. Vatett: Very well. I hope your life in containment becomes more comfortable for you from now on. Maybe prison is exactly what you need.
SCP-XXXX does not respond
Dr. Vatett: This concludes interview XXXX-02.
<End Log, 14:02, November 15, 2020>
Closing Statement: Personnel were escorted out of the cell and SCP-XXXX was released from its body cast without incident. Dr. Vatett stepped down from interacting with SCP-XXXX shortly after. Her reasons were not stated.
