Item #: SCP-####

Object Class: Euclid Safe

Special Containment Procedures:

In the case of any subjects of SCP-#### escaping, personnel assigned to specified subjects must be on sight and call out subjects of SCP-#### in different tones of authority. Scolding and verbal reprimanding are highly recommended to help deter future attempts at any and all escapes. If deemed necessary then selected personnel may use means of persuasion or coaxing to lure SCP-3908 back in containment.

In the measures of a subject disobeying protocol or instructions given by Dr. ██████, Dr. ███████, and/or Dr. Rosenberg then the subject should be immediately detained to a holding cell, accompanied with mirrored walls, with no recreational activities. Until subject is less aggravated, less hyper, less uncooperative, and very clearly shows remorse for its actions-only then can subject return back to its previous holding cell with designated limitations on recreational uses.

Under no circumstances are armed retrieval teams allowed to use physical force to obtain SCP-####. MTF must use the same precautionary measures as stated above. Any and all attempts could result in being put in a state of comatose. If physical attempts are made and acting personal don’t have a sudden loss of consciousness then they are to be immediately escorted for medical evaluation.

Walls in SCP-#### living quarters are to be made out of a silver glass mirror material in order to physically prevent subjects from leaving the inside of containment. Observations must be done within the confines of the containment cell with preferred paper and pen due to equipment giving inconclusive results or breaking under SCP-#### subjects' current emotional state. Because of such, subjects of SCP-#### have to be grouped up two (2) to three (3) per cell. SCP is to be interacted with and is allowed a number of ‘toys’ to keep occupied in a primary containment unit. Researchers that require SCP-#### to move for observational purposes must move the subjects to a room that require the same wall material standards.

Description:

SCP-#### is a species of entities in the form of children, most commonly referred to as "Sleep Spirits", or "Argentum frumenti Liberi" (which is Latin for Silver Grain/Wheat/ Children). This is the correct term due to these myths being most popularized in illustrations with local lore. Argentum frumenti Liberi have shown to have the ability of sleep inducement, consciousness renewal, and causing severe cases of vertigo when in distress through fists of screaming/crying. Subjects -A and -B both share these common characteristics, assumed to be shared traits among the majority of Argentum frumenti Liberi:

  • Major bruising
  • Glowing aspects of eyes/specs in hair
  • Holes roughly the size of a fist penetrated through the chest
  • Unidenifable smoky substance produced out of the chest cavity
  • Pale and/or discoloration of the skin

Subject SCP-####-A is a young female of Argentum frumenti Liberi between the ages of six (6) to eight (8). The subject retains a permanent bruise in the form of a noose around its neck. -A is easily distracted and naturally curious to touch personnel with little to no regard for personal space. However, -A doesn't seem to be as aggressive as -B but is more emotionally sensitive towards reactions.

SCP-####-B is a young male of Argentum frumenti Liberi between the ages of seven (7) and ten (10). The male subject shows constant signs of perspiration out of sudoriferous glands and produces identical liquid from the hair as well. Water produced is enough to form puddles around -B's feet. Research has concluded that known liquids are freshwater most likely from a lake or river. The subject had been recognized to have a sheen of water or some type of liquid on its skin at all times. Thus, requiring daily containment cleaning.

The subjects were found during the investigation due to reports in ███████████ abnormally frequent reports of individuals suffering from comatose-like states. The increase of comatose patients started to rise at an alarming rate, followed by most victims being reported as depressed or anxious before falling unconscious. The youngest reported victim of this ‘sleeping illness’ was Manny Gonzalez, age eighteen. He was reported to have died thirty years later on account of medical staff pulling the plug. Manny Gonzalez was accordingly still asleep even up to that point. Other cases of this ‘sleeping illness’ report nearly the same circumstances of death.

Further evidence revealed that upon searching, reports of local civilians talking about Argentum frumenti Liberi had dramatically increased as well. Argentum frumenti Liberi is known as folklore that used to be told to others to calm their anxieties about nightmares. The story always seems to be told differently but entails of benevolent children spirits who come to aid man in their journey of sleep. Other similar stories tell of Argentum frumenti Liberi reportedly blessing small areas of evil spirits that cause said nightmares, curing the sleepless of insomnia, playing tricks to make others oversleep and miss important events, or making loved ones wake or fall asleep in sickness. Locals used the story of Argentum frumenti Liberi as an explanation or excuse for mistakes regarding sleep incidents not involved with actual Argentum frumenti Liberi .

All variations of lore detail finding these creatures in patches of silver Triticum (wheat). Such vegetation has been noted to grow around [REDACTED] parts. Species of Triticum (wheat) that are found in a silver coloring have no explanation for such occurrences. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of comatose victim's housing have evidence that small bundles of this silver wheat have been left in a decorative state somewhere in the vicinity. Argentum frumenti Liberi is commonly reported, in lore, as gifting small decorative bundles representing polite ‘thank you’ gestures or a sign that these entities will be visiting more often than not. Cases 5A-10 through 7A-5 have even performed this ritual themselves by placing a homemade bundle in a place of important possession, effectively making contact one-third (1/3) of the time.

Cases 6B-F claimed to capture beings of Argentum frumenti Liberi with mirrors, instigated by the belief that Argentum frumenti Liberi cannot travel back the spirit world, and therefore, can’t use mirrors to use as portals, being the only material they can’t faze their corporeal forms through. All accounts have resulted in all participants getting severe cases of vertigo though.

On 2/07/██ researchers had found a newly grown patch of silver wheat on drone footage just five miles (5.m) away from a cottage located in █████████████, █████████, Sweden. Researchers had then set up a hidden surveillance sight (Base ‘Quiet Finch’ )to observe any possible anomaly activities. Francis Nilsson was, a resident of the property, was unknowingly being recorded during this time. However, any and all recording devices gave inconclusive results due to abnormal amounts of distortion and static relaid to base ‘Quiet Finch’.

3/02/██ Francis Nilsson, age sixty-eight (68) at the time, was found in an unconscious in his living room during a checkup after Base ‘Quiet Finch’ had reported that Mr. Nilsson hadn’t left his house in over two weeks.

What looked to be a small naked female child, lay in the circle asleep with more bundles in hand. The female, now known as subject SCP-####-A was promptly captured with caution and ease. Subject showed no resistance against MTF team 'Bravo Finch' in obtaining it. SCP-#### subjects also appeared to be under a heavy sleep at the time as well, helping task force members with an easy 'get and go' mission. At the end of the couch was yet another sleeping child who is now registered as subject SCP-####-B.

Later on, new data observations of SCP-#### subjects' heavy and long sleep habits were recognized as a physical recovery from heavy energy uses.

Both subjects woke up once situated in their own cells at the site [REDACTED] in [REDACTED] upon arrival. An area breach of SCP-3908 occurred but MTF forces found both subjects in one cell, holding each other and refusing to separate. Mobile Task Forces officially had their first aggressive encounter with SCP-####-A and -B when trying to separate the two. Subject A began screaming once MTF members began physically tearing the two from their hold resulting in all MTF members falling to the ground either from massive ███████, vomiting, or ████████████████ that put several members in permanent comatose states.

Further measurements have been taken to prevent this.

Upon further research of SCP-####, subjects displayed natural of electromagnetic fields. Data displays that subjects in distress or more actively expressing high effort activities have a higher increase in the charge of their electromagnetic field. Proving that any and all SCP-#### entities can be tracked and contained if in the nearby area.

Neither subject seems to be able to communicate in any known language. Any words or sounds come out sounds like wind whistling or faint incomprehensible speech. The only recognized noise from subject’s mouth is evident laughter, shrieking, crying, and very rarely screams. An attempt to teach both subjects American Sign Language are being made but so far both seem uncooperative to the idea.
