Item #: SCP-4151

Object Class: Safe Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4151 should be set in a hermetically sealed 2x5 foot reinforced box at all times while being stored at Site-19. Under no circumstances are any personnel to attempt to access SCP-4151 without tactile hazard protection. A Level 2 security clearance is required for Site Security and researchers assigned to investigating SCP-4151. Any personnel doing so is to be equipped with a full body hazard suit before entering containment. All personnel, regardless of clearance, are to be denied access to SCP-4151 under any circumstances. Under no circumstances is any anomaly to be exposed to SCP-4151.

Description: SCP-4151 is a small, tattered light gray dress with darker water stains, constructed from tightly woven dyed fabric. It was recovered on █-██-███ from the █████████ Flood Museum, located in █████████, ██, after Foundation personnel heard reports of an employee’s lungs spontaneously filling with water during a routine cleaning of museum artifacts. Agents imbedded in a local coroner's office reported it to Foundation personnel and MTF Pi-1 (City Slickers) was dispatched for initial containment. (See incident log 4151-A for details).

Dating reveals this dress to be from 1889, and the plaque reads that the dress was donated to the Flood Museum by descendants of Mrs. ██████, a woman who survived the █████████ Flood along with her husband and children.

Individuals who have skin contact SCP-4151 will experience their lungs filling with fluid (later testing identified the substance as freshwater). As time passes, the concentration of freshwater increases until the subject experiences pulmonary edema and severe laryngospasms. The subject, who is likely half-conscious and enervated by oxygen depletion, eventually drowns.

Experiment Log 4151-1:
Date:██-█-████
Subject: D-4151-1
Procedure: D-4151-1 instructed to pick up SCP-4151.
Results: Subject reacted violently, coughing and wheezing as dribbles of fluid began emerging from the subject's mouth. Subject expired 73 seconds after initial exposure. Autopsy revealed fluid from freshwater. Chemical analysis suggest that the water originated from the ██████ █████████ River.

Experiment Log 4151-2:
Date: ██-█-████
Subject: D-4151-2
Procedure: Same as previous.
Results: Same as previous, with subject expiring 82 seconds after initial exposure.

Experiment Log 4151-3:
Date: ██-█-████
Subject: SCP-███
Procedure: SCP-███ was placed adjacent to SCP-4151.
Results: [DATA EXPUNGED]

Note: Testing on SCP 5141 is suspended until further notice. Under no circumstances are any personnel or anomalies to enter containment, especially if [DATA EXPUNGED]. See Incident Log 4151-C for more details. -O5-█

Note: Request Upgrade from “Safe” to “Euclid”. -Dr. Elliot

Note: Approved. -O5-█

Incident Log 4151-A: SCP-4151 was taken into custody by Agents Morales and Helsing after an incident involving █████ ███████, the museum's residential conservator. When SCP-4151 was removed from its glass display, ███████ came into direct contact with it via a small hole in his nylon gloves. His body was discovered the following morning by the museum’s curator, who reported the find to local authorities. A post-mortem examination revealed that ███████’s lungs had been filled with freshwater, causing him to drown.

Incident Log 4151-B: Following initial containment, SCP-4151 was being transported to Site-19 when a civilian vehicle collided with Agent ██████‘s. The containment unit used for SCP-4151 was damaged in the crash, and promptly broke apart. Agent ██████ reached to retrieve the artifact, but in the process, he was exposed to SCP-4151. Agent ██████’s lungs began filling with fluid, and he expired after 84 seconds. Attempts to revive the Agent subsequently failed.
