Item #: SCP-5534

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5534 is contained in black, non-transparent box, which closes automatically after one minute of being opened. It is forbidden to open the box without the supervision of an employee with level 4 authorization, at least two researchers and four guards. SCP-5534 can't be seen by supervisors. SCP-5534-1 has to be terminated after research. SCP-5534-1 can safely roam around the facility ad do whatever it wants (if it complies with the foundation's regulations).

Description: SCP-5534 is a simple wooden humanoid statuette presenting a person, who is in "T-pose". Statuette is 1 foot (30 centimeters) tall and the same width. It weights around one pound (0.45 kilogram). Proportions of particular limbs are the same as in the Vitruvian man by Leonardo da Vinci.The wood used to make SCP-5534 is spruce from ████████ ████ in Utah, where the object was found. The age of the statuette is around 300 to 450 years. It was created with extremely sharp tool. There are neither writings nor signs on it.

Anomalous effects of SCP-5534 start when there are no solid objects between the statuette and a humanoid form of life. When these conditions occur for more than five seconds, the humanoid begins to change to a position known as T-pose. From now on the humanoid is known as SCP-5534-1.

SCP-5534-1 does not know or feel change in its position, it can wave its hands, walk, lay down, sit on the chair and every other action that it was able to do before becoming SCP-5534-1, although for the observers it's locked on T-pose. If SCP-5534-1 interacts with any objects, they will appear in its hand. If SCP-5534-1 decides to eat something, for example an apple, then apple will first appear in its hand, then as it eats the apple, the bites will disappear one after another. The sounds of SCP-5534-1 are normal, so you can hear it eating and munching. If SCP-5534-1 is in position which will interact with some objects, then T-pose overlay would noclip through these.

If SCP-5534-1 will be exposed to SCP-5534 more than 10 minutes it can become aggressive, it will try to force the other to T-pose. He'll firstly try to persuade them to do it by talking, then he'll use the force. In order to make the others T-pose, it can break bones, stun or even kill. If that situation occurs, SCP-5534-1 has to be killed or executed. It is forbidden to expose anything to statuette for more time than a quarter, at least until more research is done and scientists will be able to predict what would happen.

SCP-5534-1 can be changed back to its normal position, by using SCP-500 or interacting with SCP-999. SCP-500 immediately will return to normal position and will forget everything he's done in T-pose state, saying that "bug" or "glitch" has to be erased.
More research has to be done to investigate why that happen.
SCP-999 has to swallow all of SCP-5534-1 T-pose overlay and its physical body. After giving SCP-5534-1 high amount of endorphins he will no longer be locked in T-pose state.
Another way to disable T-pose position is to eat bread from SCP-3305-1. This will work the same as SCP-500, providing effects of eating and drinking from SCP-3305-1.

First appearance

SCP-5534 and instance -1 were found by 19-year-old ██████ Smith in forest nearby ████████ ████ in Utah in 1986. It is said by his close ralatives that he was there on a walk. He probably found the statuette and took it with him back to the town. As he returned, people were scared by him just approaching in T-pose. Not thinking much, they grabbed the weapons and started shooting. SCP-5534-1 were dead after few bullets being fired. The statuette was hidden in pockets of jacket, which resulted in no other instantiations of SCP-5534-01. Soon after the incident Foundation's agents came and took the body and statuette.

Addendum 5534.1:

O5 Council wonders if the statuette shoud be destroyed, but doctor Thavin belives that careful handling will ensure safety and security. Anyway, SCP-5534's container is now equipped with destruction module.
