Xeno-the-Hedgehog

Object class: Euclid/Keter

Special Containment Procedures:
At this time, no actions are deemed necessary to contain SCP-XXXX, as any attempts to contain the creature have been met with failure, albeit with minimal loss of resources. The geographical location of SCP-XXXX is to be monitored via satellite. Online and televised news feeds and social media are to be monitored for mentions of SCP-XXXX. As SCP-XXXX’s existence is already widely known among the global populace, the official cover story is that SCP-XXXX-1 is a person wearing a custom fursuit. Should SCP-XXXX-1 arrive at any SCP containment site, it is to be allowed to enter and exit the premises without hindrance and may freely interact with any individual at its discretion. No personnel may attempt to hinder SCP-XXXX-1 in its progress unless containment of another SCP has been breached. SCP-XXXX-2 is not to be taken from SCP-XXXX-1 without approval from a level 3 or higher operative and must be returned to SCP-XXXX-1 within 1 hour of separation. Any instances of SCP-XXXX-3 are to be politely accepted and a signature provided if requested. Outdated: See Addendum 2

As of [date]/[date]/[date], SCP-XXXX-1 is currently housed in a standard humanoid containment cell on site-[to be added]. One unarmed guard is to be stationed at the door to the cell at all times. SCP-XXXX-1 may be granted any reasonable items that it requests, with approval from a level 3 or higher operative, with the exception of messenger bags or other similar carrying cases.

Description: SCP-XXXX consists of one entity and one object.

The entity is designated SCP-XXXX-1, a flightless bipedal creature measuring 158cm in height with characteristics of Dromaeosauridae and Corvidae, including a stiff tail, digitigrade legs ending in talons, clawed forelimbs, a toothed beak, and plumage and coloration similar to that of Corvus albus. To date, SCP-XXXX-1 has exhibited mostly docile behavior and appears to be semi-sapient, but does not appear to be capable of speech or writing, though it has demonstrated the ability to communicate via bodily gestures and crude pictograms. SCP-XXXX-1 has demonstrated surprising physical strength, sufficient to force open the tempered steel door of a containment cell, though it seems to prefer to avoid conflict if at all possible. To date, SCP-XXXX-1 has not been directly responsible for harming any foundation personnel, nor has it been reported to have harmed any civilians.

The object is designated SCP-XXXX-2, a khaki messenger bag that SCP-XXXX-1 previously carried on its person (see Addendum 2). SCP-XXXX-2 does not exhibit any anomalous properties if in the possession of individuals other than SCP-XXXX-1, save for its apparent indestructibility. To date, SCP-XXXX-2 has proven impervious to damage from water, ballistics, heat, caustic chemicals, sharp objects, and [DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-XXXX-1 does not appear to share SCP-XXXX-2’s invulnerability and will shield itself from harm using SCP-XXXX-2 if necessary. SCP-XXXX-1 has been observed using SCP-XXXX-2 for a number of mundane purposes including, but not limited to, keeping itself dry during a storm, resting its head during periods of sleep, and as a kickboard to cross large bodies of water. SCP-XXXX-1 shows signs of increasing distress during extended periods of separation from SCP-XXXX-2 and has demonstrated the ability to distinguish SCP-XXXX-2 from other bags of similar design, even when SCP-XXXX-2 has been coated in paint or perfume. SCP-XXXX-1 usually appears to move aimlessly, but will occasionally seek out specific individuals or addresses; the method by which it determines its next recipient is still under investigation.

When SCP-XXXX-1 locates its destination, it reaches into the previously empty bag and produces an instance of SCP-XXXX-3, a parcel of variable size and dimensions. Contained within SCP-XXXX-3 is a seemingly inconsequential item, for which the recipient will later find a use, albeit not always in the traditionally intended purpose for the item in question. Instances of SCP-XXXX-3 and the items contained therein do not exhibit any anomalous properties beyond simply being produced from the previously empty bag. SCP-XXXX-1 will stop for directions if it cannot find its intended recipient. Upon delivery, SCP-XXXX-1 will sometimes produce a clipboard from SCP-XXXX-2, with an X drawn next to the line for a signature. The attached form appears to be covered in indecipherable scribbles. If something should hinder SCP-XXXX-1 from moving to its intended recipient, it will take only those measures necessary to circumvent the obstacle and continue on its way. On several occasions, SCP-XXXX-1 has provided instances of SCP-XXXX-3 that contain some form of compensation for damaged items from previous instances of SCP-XXXX-3 or for collateral damage sustained during attempts to contain it.

The existence of SCP-XXXX was brought to the attention of the Foundation on [date]/[date]/[date] when it was spotted on the security feed at the front gate of Site-[to be added]. A contingent of agents were sent out to detain the creature, who produced an instance of SCP-XXXX-3 and presented it to Officer Johnsmouth. Contained within the box was an epinephrine syringe. Two weeks later, another agent in the mess hall went into anaphylaxis after exposure to an allergen in another agent's meal; Officer Johnsmouth used the syringe to buy time for medical personnel to arrive.

In the intervening period between the creature’s arrival and the incident in the mess hall, SCP-XXXX-1 was herded into a standard containment cell. It made no attempt to escape for several days, sufficient to study the invulnerability of SCP-XXXX-2, before walking toward the cell door, manually forcing the lock open, closing the door behind it, and making its way to the storage locker where SCP-XXXX-2 had been placed. Upon retrieving SCP-XXXX-2, SCP-XXXX-1 left an instance of SCP-XXXX-3 beside the locker, and then made its way back to the front gate. The instance of SCP-XXXX-3 was later found to contain uncut diamonds, gold, and platinum, with an estimated value roughly equal to the costs of repairs to the facility following its containment breach. Mobile Task Force [to be added] was dispatched to detain the creature, but were unable to permanently hinder its progress, as it quickly circumvented or otherwise evaded any attempts at capture in an improvisational manner, even bodily lifting an agent that stood in its path and placing them to one side. SCP-XXXX-1 was observed to use SCP-XXXX-2 to shield itself from weapons fire and to deflect explosive shrapnel, with no discernible damage to SCP-XXXX-2. Before leaving the facility, it paused to offer another instance of SCP-XXXX-3 to a nearby custodian; this instance contained several small jars of herbs and spices, which the custodian would later use in their entry to the annual site-[to be added] chili cookoff, in which they placed second.

To date, SCP-XXXX-1 has visited several other containment facilities, usually delivering one or more instances of SCP-XXXX-3 before departing. Three additional attempts to contain SCP-XXXX-1 at other facilities were similarly unsuccessful and it was determined that the necessity of containing SCP-XXXX was outweighed by the resulting collateral damage and risk of breaching containment of other more dangerous SCPs in the process.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-3 delivered to SCP personnel have included:

• One glass jar of honey dijon mustard: the missing ingredient in a lost family recipe that Doctor [REDACTED] had been attempting to recreate.

• A box of dollar store glow sticks: used to create a crude map of an enemy compound and to signal for extraction during Operation: [to be added]

• [DATA EXPUNGED]

• Three [REDACTED] brand AAA batteries: inserted into Research Assistant [name]’s scientific calculator

• A faberge egg (required signature): currently displayed on the desk of Researcher [name]. “It really brings the whole office together.”

• An empty box: immediately co opted by SCP-529

• A shotgun shell: provided the necessary materials to complete an experiment in the chemistry sector of site-[to be added]

• [DATA EXPUNGED]

• A box of adhesive bandages: used to mend a tear in a plastic sheet until it could be replaced, and to cover one papercut

• A plastic microfilm container filled with apple seeds: Doctor King maintains that he has not found a use for this item

• A baggie containing an assortment of parts from a fob watch: used to repair a fob watch belonging to Lieutenant Colonel Friese after it was caught underfoot during an unrelated containment breach.

• A [REDACTED] brand ice cream cake, half melted: given to Agent November June, who had forgotten that she was responsible for the cake at Officer Finklestein’s surprise birthday party. SCP-XXXX-1 appeared to express embarrassment upon the revelation of the cake’s condition.

• A voucher for a free ice cream cake at [REDACTED]: produced immediately after the aforementioned ice cream cake; was used to obtain a replacement cake.

• A blank house key: this item has not yet been used.

• A sponge cut in the shape of the letters “DATAX”: used in the process of cleaning SCP-597

• A CD-Rom (required signature); contained a series of video instructions on what to do in the event of a potential XK-class scenario, featuring visual aids in the form of stick figure illustrations.

Addendum 1: Contrary to recent rumors, SCP-XXXX-1 has never delivered a baby. Any personnel claiming to have witnessed such an event should report for immediate psychological evaluation, pending administration of class 3 amnestics.

NOTE: Please do not try to convince SCP-XXXX-1 that the person for whom it is searching is at another containment facility or otherwise attempt to deceive SCP-XXXX-1. You know the damage it is capable of causing and the last thing we need is a destroyed facility because someone thought it was funny to bully the steel-bending raptor. Besides, every time it shows up, it gives us something helpful and has been indirectly responsible for saving lives in the past. Let the poor thing do its job. - O5-[to be added]

Addendum 2: On [date]/[date]/[date], SCP-XXXX-1 arrived at site-[to be added] in a state of inconsolable distress. It did not have SCP-XXXX-2 on its person. SCP-XXXX-1 is currently housed in a minimum-security cell and investigation into the whereabouts of SCP-XXXX-2 is ongoing.

NOTE: Please do not attempt to convince SCP-XXXX-1 that a messenger bag or other carrying case is SCP-XXXX-2. Repairing that dent in the wall of its cell wasn’t cheap and if it tries to breach containment we won’t have the luxury of it giving us a box of Spanish doubloons this time. - O5-[to be added]

"How was I supposed to know you could throw a bag at the wall hard enough that it bonded at the molecular level?" - Agent [name]
