Object Class: Keter

Not quite sure what the heck I'm doing, so please yell at me if I'm doing this wrong

I'm sorta going for a 447, 1048, kinda silly kinda scary vibe. Not so much scary though, more like, threatening.

Also keep in mind that yeah, this is my first draft, but I have written very much, so thank you for sticking with the whole thing if you did!

sorry i just enjoy longer scps

Also can I do image uploads on this site? I do have a picture, just dunno how to do the do, y'know?

Draft 1

So to start off this draft, things I don't like right now:

1. The use of ancient/religious texts, I don't know why, I just hate this, but I can't think of anything better
2. The cover story in the 2nd paragraph, hell, the whole 2nd paragraph in general, this is personally my weakest paragraph in this whole thing
3. I like the idea for Attempt-4█:, but if people hate it enough I suppose I could get rid of that attempt because yeah, the whole this is basically a bunch of ████████

Special Containment Procedures: The whereabouts of SCP-XXXX-2 are currently unknown. The last known location was somewhere on the south-western outskirts of Piombino, Italy. It is unknown, however highly likely, if SCP-XXXX-2 can swim long distances or survive underwater while under the influence of SCP-XXXX.

All civilian sightings of purple Orthoptera Caelifera¹ are to be investigated by a small group of SCP agents with the cover story of searching for a rare species of grasshopper believed to be native to the country. If any unusual sightings common to SCP-XXXX-2 are observed by a civilian, Class-A amnesties are to be administered and the surrounding area is to be quarantined until confirmation of SCP-XXXX-2’s presence.

PTF-Psi-50 (Bug Catchers) are to sweep the most likely location of SCP-XXXX-2 for any trace of it they can find. If located, 05-██ is to be notified and the Foundation chosen host of SCP-XXXX is to be relocated to SCP-XXXX-2’s location along with MTF-Lambda-9 (Big Fucking Guns), who are to have received specialized equipment as well as SCP-████ for taking down SCP-XXXX-2.

The chosen host for SCP-XXXX is to be proven to have complete loyalty to the Foundation. Current candidates include: Dr. █████████, Researcher ████████████████, Researcher ██████████, and Skippy, the Site-██ break room goldfish.

Note from Researcher Jolene: We will not risk another supercharged animal so you don't need to feed the goldfish anymore. We went over this, you guys get the fish, you guys take care of it, no anomalous cheating.

Description: SCP-XXXX came to foundation attention after an ancient journal was discovered describing the location of SCP-XXXX-1. Foundation personnel located SCP-XXXX-1 and quickly discovered the anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX. Other texts claimed that the host of SCP-XXXX must be killed for it to transfer to another host.

After Foundation personnel managed to eliminate SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-2 accidentally fused with SCP-XXXX, see addendum-XXXX.1, and it has been evading the foundation since. SCP-XXXX-2 refers to the current host of SCP-XXXX, a common grasshopper.

The only visual difference between an SCP-XXXX host and its normal counterpart is a bioluminescent purple glow from within the veins of the host.

SCP-XXXX itself is a substance made of ████████ that when in contact with an organism with sufficient motor function, will fuse into the circulatory and nervous systems of the organism. This organism will then become the host of SCP-XXXX. Not much is known about SCP-XXXX outside of religious texts describing it as ██████████████████████. It is referred to as ████████████ by the texts, but most Foundation personal refer to it as “Purple Power.”

While SCP-XXXX resides in a host’s nervous system, this does not appear to provide any change in motor function or desires, and seems to only increase the lifespan of the host's brain indefinitely. SCP-XXXX's effect on the rest of the body provides the same longevity, along with increasing overall strength, durability, speed, [REDACTED], as well as possibly removing the need for food and water consumption. SCP-XXXX-1 had survived for nearly ████ years in hibernation within a cave without any known food or water source. When SCP-XXXX hosts sleep, they regenerate from all their wounds. Hosts don’t have to sleep when uninjured, but can do so. For all intents and purposes, SCP-XXXX-2 is mentally a regular grasshopper, supercharged physically by SCP-XXXX.

So far, only one host has been confirmed to have existed before SCP-XXXX-2. Religious texts estimate there have been approximately █ hosts before the Foundation became aware of SCP-XXXX-1.

Ongoing efforts to capture SCP-XXXX-2 have thus far all failed, with little to no progress made.

Attempt-16: SCP-XXXX-2 temporarily contained. Temporary containment methods proves insufficient, SCP-XXXX-2 breaks loose. ██ confirmed deceased, █ bodies remain unidentified.

Note from Researcher Jolene: I cannot stress enough that nobody tries to put -2 in a glass jar ever again. I don't care if it looks like a grasshopper, this thing WILL rip your face off.

Attempt-21: SCP-XXXX-2 is cornered inside an abandoned factory by PTF-Psi-50. Task force opens fire. SCP-XXXX-2 escapes, causing the building to collapse and leaving one survivor.

Attempt-3█: [REDACTED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE]

Attempt-4█: Breach near Site-██ in Italy, resulting in the escape of SCP-████ and SCP-████, the destruction of SCP-████, SCP-████, SCP-████, over ███ Foundation casualties, and the complete loss of Site-██ after the accidental detonation of the on-site nuke. SCP-████, SCP-███, and SCP-████ remain in an unknown condition.

Attempt-██: PTF-Psi-50 manages to catch up to SCP-XXXX-2 while it was sleeping. A task force member manages to get close to SCP-XXXX-2 without waking it, shoots SCP-XXXX-2 at point blank range. [REDACTED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE].

Note from Researcher Jolene: Survivors of this horrible incident claim that they saw a bit of the tiny devil fly off, possibly an antenna or a leg or more. We just need to get to the bastard before he regrows the limbs.

Recovery efforts are still ongoing.

Addendum: PTF-Psi-50 manages to take down SCP-XXXX-1 with the use of SCP-████. Landing .6km away from the task force’s location, they travel for 4 minutes through a woodland area to reach the corpse. Upon arriving at the corpse of SCP-XXXX-1, then chosen host for SCP-XXXX walks up and pokes the corpse for a few minutes before suddenly panicking and pointing at a “weird ass looking bug”. Current head researcher, Researcher ███████, gives the order to open fire. In the time taken to travel to the corpse, a grasshopper had accidentally come into contact with SCP-XXXX and been deemed a compatible host. Researcher Jolene has been reassigned as head of SCP-XXXX research and containment. Discussions of a replacement host are currently ongoing.

I can't believe I actually clicked upload good job me, breaking outta yer shell
