Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: All colonies of SCP-XXXX consisting of more than 1000 instances are to be contained by Mobile Task Force Upsilon-7 ("The Glass Jar") to prevent further expansion. With permission of a researcher with level 4 clearance or higher, colonies may also be exterminated or contained using SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1, when they are not being used, are to be bred in a standard humanoid containment cell filled with 200L of soil for reproductive purposes. The containment cell is to be supplied every two weeks with 70kg of human organic matter. SCP-XXXX-2 are to be held in an identical containment cell to SCP-XXXX-1
Containment protocol is to be executed as follows:
- All entrances to the nest are to be located and secured by at least 1 agent.
- Instances of SCP-XXXX are to be driven out of the nest using loud noises (110 db or more) and/or tear gas. These are to be emitted from all entrances except one, as to lure SCP-XXXX to this entrance. (SCP-XXXX have shown to be sensitive to sound and smell)
- Instances of SCP-XXXX exiting the nest are to be incapacitated with halothane or other narcotic substances and subsequently contained.
- If, for 10 minutes, no instances have exited the nest, MTF agents are to cease emission of sound/gas and flood the nest with water to drive out any remaining instances of SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX instances are eusocial organisms with DNA identical to humans, although there are many morphological differences between SCP-XXXX and humans. SCP-XXXX are humanoids of approximately 2.5 cm in height, with 3 fingers on each hand and 3 toes on each foot. The largest specimen recorded had a height of 4.67 cm. The only facial features of SCP-XXXX consist of a humanoid nose, ears and a single eye. Instances of SCP-XXXX do not feed, therefore the expected lifespan is only 3 days. Nests of SCP-XXXX often ressemble miniature man-made cities and are typically built underground. Depth of these nests may vary. To this day, SCP-XXXX colonies have only been discovered in South-Asia.
Colonies of SCP-XXXX have been found on graveyards, battlefields or other locations with a high presence of dead organic matter of human origin. It is currently unknown how colonies are formed, since SCP-XXXX do not posses reproductive organs.
When a colony of SCP-XXXX comes into contact with organic matter of human origin1, all SCP-XXXX instances will proceed to cut up parts of it into pieces of roughly 2,6 cm. All of these pieces are then brought back to the nest and buried into the walls or floor. 2 to 3 days later they have fully morphed into new instances of SCP-XXXX after undergoing currently unidentified processes. These processes do not alter DNA-structure, which is why SCP-XXXX instances can technically still be classified as Homo Sapiens.
Nests usually consist of around 400 instances, formed from the remains a single individual.
When a colony reaches a certain size (usually 1200 instances) it will target large quantities of live humans. For this reason, it is necessary to contain or exterminate all colonies of this size.
Larger nests (usually 800 instances) commonly include a construction, invariably built from stone , which seems to serve a ritualistic purpose. Instances of SCP-XXXX can often be heard emitting song-like sounds from within this building. Exterminated nests have revealed that neutralised instances of SCP-XXXX are placed inside of the construction, their bodies having been exposed to various methods of preservation.
Nests of SCP-XXXX may also be built into trees or above ground. Due to their intelligence comparable to subjects in hominid categories, they have demonstrated advanced use of tools. Tools are most often constructed from wood or human bone and are used to tear through flesh or dig out cavities in soil or trees. Gas canisters filled with cyanide extract are currently considered to be the most dangerous recorded use of tools by SCP-XXXX. Note that these gas canisters were not created by SCP-XXXX, merely utilised. Investigation of their origin is ongoing.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a colony of SCP-XXXX That has been purposefully bred on Site 44 to help exterminate other large colonies. This is possible due to the large quantity of objects owned by the Foundation that have mind affecting capabilities. Debate is still ongoing about wether or not to discontinue the SCP-XXXX-1 project, as there are many risks linked to its benefits. Currently, SCP-XXXX-1 is still operating.
This project, along with the fact these creatures are not related to any other species, has supported evidence for the hypothesis that SCP-XXXX was originally intended as a biological weapon. This hypothesis suggests that the intended use of SCP-XXXX was to utilise remains of neutralized soldiers, block acces to battlefields, sabotage vehicles and electronics and get hold of military intelligence. It is currently unknown who or what created SCP-XXXX.
Addendum 1:
Exploration of the remains of a starved neutralised colony revealed an unusually large cavity, holding the corpse of a 43 year old caucasian man. Cause of death is most probably malnutrition Cause of death is severe blood loss due to continueous piercing of the skin with needles. A diary was discovered next to the corpse, as well as an amount of decorative objects, indicating that this individual was cared for and praised by instances of SCP-XXXX inhabiting the nest.
The following is a series of excerpts from the diary, arranged chronologically.
I might just be going batshit mad, but I saw some tiny people run around on the graveyard today. But not like you're your average toddler kind of tiny, no no no, these had the size of insects. And they were carrying something, I think it was pieces of dead guy, I know what I'm talking about as a grave digger. So I tried to follow them, but that seemed to really piss them off, so I pissed backed off. I also collected some jewlery from the cemetery . They're not gonna use it anymore and I got myself a new necklace to sell, it's a win win situation to me, I don't get why Carine always made such a big deal out of it.
The little guys were at it again today. Stealing fingers and toes or whatever. They seem to really like that. I didn't want to get mauled by them, so I let them do their thing for now. How am I supposed to know if they're dangerous? If they are, I'm feeding that motherfucker Hugo to them, that would teach him. How dare he steal my wife!
We got a new dead guy in the cemetery, so an old one had to be moved. Then I had an amazing idea. I dug up that old guy and took some rotting pieces, though there really wasn't much left. And wouldn't you know it, the little thiefs were running around again, but this time, I got their attention. I whistled and then lobbed a piece of Arnold Roger Johannson +1946 at them. Then I waved with another piece in my hand. They loved it. That went on for the rest of that night. I think they are friendly, maybe it's only because I gave them food though. Then again, maybe this is all some weird halu hallusi hallucination. It would be a damn realistic hallusi >I give up!
I made a mistake I am now trapped in the nest of these things. I don't remember much, But I kept playing with the little guys the other day. I think one was climbing up my jacket. Suddenly I just felt a sharp pain in my neck, and then, I fell, and then, I don't know. They do take some care of me, they brought me some colourful trinkets ( I think they see me as their new leader). I can't get out though.
I haven't been writing for a while. I'm still in the same exact place, still stuck. There isn't a lot of food, but I do think the little guys want to keep me alive, cause they try to feed me whatever they find. I tried talking to them, maybe they would talk back, I could say that I wanted to leave. Then I noticed they literaly do not have a mouth. I'm still figuring something out. (Maybe they can learn to write?)
IMPORTANT, I have tought them how to write!!! They're not very good at it per se, but they know the basics, they wrote to me "US CARE FOR YOU. YOU HELP US." I think this is a breakthrough, I was going to try to tell them I want to leave this shithole. They just said " NO, YOU HELP US". They are quickly learning, as if they've done it once before. I hope they will understand soon. I will finally be able to see Carine again if when I get out. I still need to propose to her and I still need to see my son. (I still need to kick Hugo's arrogant ass!)
Today, a bigger slightly less small guy came to me, he looked smarter than the others, more royal (yea that's the word), and he looked concerned, then he wrote me "YOU IS SMART, YOU HELP US. OTHER US MAKING US DEAD. OTHER US MAKING US NEST DEAD." What does that mean, why are they asking me for advice on that? Do I look like a damn military general to them or something? If their dumbasses just realised I could help them more if I wasn't sitting here in this GODDAMN HOLE! "You help us" my ass, I'm getting out of here as soon as they're dead.
Another nest just attacked us and I am also a target. Don't have time. I was barely able to block the way with a rock, but I hear them digging through the soil to m. I'll be dead soon too. The little guys, I HATE THEM!!. It's their fault, it's all their fault. I LOVE YOU FOREVER CARINE!!🖤
Addendum 2:
The largest colony ever discovered consisted of 15276 recorded instances. This colony, previously located in a military airbase in India, had attacked armed military forces, resulting in 13 casualties in 15 minutes. Surviving individuals described how immense quantities of SCP-XXXX suddenly appeared from a network of underground tunnels, surfacing within military buildings, sabotaging vehicles and electronics and releasing toxic gasses from within ventilation systems. The area was evacuated and bombed with napalm to prevent further expansion.
Explorations of the tunnels, used to carry out the attack, revealed that some tunnels went on for over 214 km before surfacing again. Multiple colonies within a radius of 300 km, apparently started travelling towards the airbase simultaneously. This information concerns the 05-Council, as it could indicate an unknown individual/group capable of controlling all SCP-XXXX colonies within a 300 km radius.
Addendum 3:
This addendum cites unusual technologies and techniques utilised by SCP-XXXX colonies:
- MTF Upsilon-7 report: Colony succeeded in domesticating and utilising avian organisms as mounts. Urgent request for immediate termination of this colony. REQUEST FOR TERMINATION DENIED
- MTF Upsilon-7 report: Mutated colony capable of reproducing through any organic matter of mammalian origin. An instance from this colony will invariably ressemble the organism from which it was produced. Most notable variations include: Bubalus Bubalis (water buffalo), Panthera Tigris Tigris (Bengal tiger) and Pongo Abelli (Sumatran orangutan).
- MTF Upsilon-7 report: Colony succeeded in creating aquatic vessels ressembling 14th century caravels and other ships originating from that era. Colony has attacked a small fishing boat 2 km away from the coast, resulting in 1 casualty.
- MTF Upsilon-7 report: Colony succeeded in producing and offensively utilising gunpowder. Urgent request for immediate termination of this colony. REQUEST FOR TERMINATION GRANTED
- [REDACTED] REQUEST FOR TERMINATION GRANTED ~ ACCESS TO TACTICAL WARHEAD GRANTED
- MTF Upsilon-7 report: Mutated colony discovered. Mutations include: increased intelligence, capability of written communication, drastically increased lifespan and lack of hostility towards humans. NOW DESIGNATED SCP-XXXX-2
Interview with SCP-XXXX-2 instances
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-2 instance
Interviewer: Dr. Olafsonn
Foreword: SCP-XXXX-2 themselves requested an interview, informing that they have valuable information. This whole conversation was written on paper.
<Begin log>
Dr. Olafsonn: Good evening, SCP-XXXX-2, we would like to ask you some questions, is that okay for you?
SCP-XXXX-2: Let us ignore that that was already a question. Depending on what questions you ask us, we will answer accordingly. Do not waste our time, it is valuable to us.
Dr. Olafsonn: No need to be so cynical, do you know who created you or why?
SCP-XXXX-2: Why is that of importance to you? If all of your questions are like this, you do not value our time.
Dr. Olafsonn: This is valuable information to us, do you know who created you? I don't want to have to force this info out of you.
SCP-XXXX-2: You are not going to do that. We can tell, you are easy to read. Do you think anybody created us?
Dr. Olafsonn: I give you one more chance, after that, I might just have to shorten your life expectancy. Do you know who created you or why? For what are you being used? You told us you had valuable information, then share it!
SCP-XXXX-2: We were created by the same phenomenon as you. We are still human, I thought you knew that. If you would see that we are still human, then you might find an answer to your question. Why are we being used? We do not know, we do not care. People of higher standing are also using you, are they not?
Dr. Olafsonn: So you don't care if others are using you to kill people? That's horrible! Why don't you care about that?
SCP-XXXX-2: Ironic, you are also being used to kill people, have you ever thought of that, Mr. Olafsonn?
Dr. Olafsonn: No, I trust that the Foundation seeks to help people and I wish to do the same. You don't seem to care about helping people though. Next question: why does your colony not attack living humans?
SCP-XXXX-2: You would exterminate us if we did. At least that is what we heard from other colonies.
Dr. Olafsonn: How do you know that information? Can you communicate with other colonies? Are there more colonies that can write?
SCP-XXXX-2: Yes, of course, they sent us a fax and that's how we know they were being exterminated. That was meant to be sarcasm, but we see you are having trouble understanding it, so we explained it.
Dr. Olafsonn: ….Next question big guy: why do you talk with plural pronouns?
SCP-XXXX-2: First, let us ask you a question, what would happen if some kind of monster escaped from here? What would you do?
Dr. Olafsonn: Why would you need that information? We ask the questions here, you are not in control. Now answer me!
SCP-XXXX-2: To answer your question, we are made up of smaller entities, but we are a single consciousness. It is not the small creature in front of you that is talking to you, it is the combination of all these entities. Once, we were humans like you, every one of us was a single being, but now, we are a combined, mixed consciousness of multiple people.
Dr. Olafsonn: interesting, can you tell us more?
SCP-XXXX-2: Yes,…. Maybe all of this information is fake, maybe not. It depends, will you answer our question?
Dr. Olafsonn: If you are not willing to cooperate, this interview is over.
SCP-XXXX-2: That is okay for us, it was worth our time.
Upon recontainment of the interviewed SCP-XXXX-2 instance, it was discovered that all other instances had breached containment through an underground tunnel. This tunnel was constructed by other instances of SCP-XXXX that corroded the steel cell from the oudside.
<END LOG>
Closing Statement: The location of SCP-XXXX-2 is currently unknown. The interviewed SCP-XXXX-2 instance ceased life functions 10 minutes after the interview. Investigation of the incident is ongoing. Note: all SCP-XXXX colonies within a 300 km radius spontaneously started travelling towards the facility. Current hypothesis states that SCP-XXXX-2 is able to communicate with or control other colonies telepathically.
