Item #: SCP-xxxx
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is to be contained within an airtight 4x4x3 meter cell composed of Grade 50 Carbon steel no less than 12 centimeters thick. The interior of SCP-xxxx’s cell is to contain the standard amenities for animal SCP. The entrance to SCP-xxxx’s cell is to be sealed behind an airlock, and any personnel entering SCP-xxxx’s cell are required to don Type 1 hazardous material suits before entering.
Description: SCP-xxxx is a fleshy creature approximately 0.6 meters long, with two limbs projecting from its front and a bulbous tail with an orifice analogous to the human sphincter. In order to move, SCP-xxxx pulls itself forward with its front limbs. Its maximum speed has been recorded at 4 kilometers per hours, slightly slower than the average human walking speed. Although not possessing of opposable thumbs, SCP-xxxx possesses prehensile fingers capable of performing both power and precision grips.The subject is sapient, possessing problem solving capabilities and the ability to understand abstract concepts, but is either unwilling or unable to communicate with Founation personnel. The subject is able to consume any kind of matter, although it has difficulty consuming and breaking down solid material with a crystalline molecular structure. The molecules it absorbs are broken into their component atoms, at which point the atoms themselves are forced to undergo nuclear fission, with the energy from this reaction being absorbed directly by SCP-xxxx. To date, no significant radioactivity has been detected as a byproduct of this process, indicating that the process is somehow restricted to the space within SCP-xxxx’s body.
Seemingly as a byproduct of this reaction, SCP-xxxx will at random intervals emit a gaseous blue substance from its tail orifice. From testing, it has been determined that SCP-xxxx will reflexively emit SCP-xxxx-2 as a fear response, or in self-defense. The substance’s chemical composition [REDACTED], leading researchers to label the substance as SCP-xxxx-2. Upon coming into contact with living organisms, SCP-xxxx-2 will begin to break down the organism at the molecular level. An exposure time to SCP-xxx-2 of less than ten seconds results in severe injuries and a fifty three percent mortality rate. An exposure time of more than ten seconds, or direct inhalation of the substance, shows a one hundred percent mortality rate. SCP-xxxx-2 does not seem to react with inorganic matter, or with inanimate organic matter. How this is possible is unknown, but it has been hypothesized that the substance might react to the minute electrical currents caused by neurotransmission within living organisms. The only living organism not affected by SCP-xxxx-2 is SCP-xxxx.
SCP-xxxx was discovered in ██/██/████ when reports of gas attacks and strange alien entities in ██████ led Foundation personnel to investigate. SCP-xxxx was found lying on the ground outside of a suburban home whose residents were found deceased due to exposure to SCP-xxxx-2. Upon approaching the subject, the agents were able to easily apprehend it due to its small size and weak bodily structure. SCP-xxxx did not make any attempts to assault the agents. The subject was transported to Site ███ and placed in containment.
Study of SCP-xxxx’s physiology have proven difficult. analysis of tissue scrapings is consistent with those of a human fetus, but the subject's morphology does not match any stage of fetal development. X-Rays are unable to penetrate its exterior, and it is still unknown how the subject forces atoms to undergo fission, how it contains the reaction within its own body, or how the reaction leads to the manufacturing of SCP-xxxx-2. Research assistant █████ has suggested vivisection as means of learning more, but this proposal is currently denied due to the risk of either accidentally killing SCP-xxxx. If no substantial progress is made within the next six months, the subject of vivisection will be reconsidered.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is to be contained within a 3x3x3m containment chamber composed of Carbon 50 steel no less than 6 centimeters thick. Two security officers are to be stationed at the entrance to the containment cell at all times. Under no circumstances are any personnel lower than security level 3 to be provided with the means to open the containment chamber. In the event that access into the containment chamber is necessary, the officers on duty must request access from on-duty Security Level 3 personnel.
Description: SCP-xxxx is a ██ year old male of mixed Caucasian and Hispanic descent, 1.75 meters in height and 68kg in weight. Aside from its ability and a tendency towards misanthropy, the subject appears to be in perfect mental health.
SCP-xxxx possesses perfect knowledge of both past and future events to the minutest detail. The subject claims it did not always possess this ability, although it will not directly state how it came to obtain it. SCP-xxxx initially made use of this ability to perform statistically impossible feats, such as walking into rush hour traffic without being harmed and winning the lottery three times in a row, which attracted the attention of the Foundation. At some point between ██/██/████ and ██/██/████, the subject became aware of the existence of the Foundation through its ability. On ██/██/████, the subject was acquired without resistance and transported to Site ██, where it was placed in containment. 3 days after acquisition, the subject breached containment by convincing the security officers stationed at its chamber to open the door. The subject proceeded to the Site’s main entrance, avoiding security patrols and cameras, where it waited until the breach was discovered and security personnel arrived to escort it back to its chamber. The officers on duty were administered a Class B amnestic and reassigned, and security protocols were adjusted. To date, SCP-xxxx has breached containment a total of 4 times, each time halting at the Site entrance and returning to its chamber without resistance when apprehended. The purpose of these breaches is unknown, but it has been theorized that SCP-xxxx is highlighting weaknesses in Site-██’s security which had previously been overlooked.
Addendum 1: Interview xxxx-4
Interviewed: [SCP-xxxx]
Interviewer: [Dr. █████████]
Foreword: [This interview was recorded on ██/██/████, shortly after SCP-xxxx’s third escape attempt, in order to determine how the subject managed to breach containment, as well SCP-xxxx’s reasons for attempting to escape.]
<Begin Log>
** Dr. █████████:** State your name for the record, please.
** SCP-xxxx:** It’s Isaac. And next you’re going to ask me why I attempted to escape. When I respond that it was because I got bored, you’re going to act skeptical, but in your head you don’t doubt that I’m the type of person who would do something so drastic out of boredom.
** Dr. █████████:** So—
** SCP-xxxx:** Don’t even bother, doctor. I already know what you’re going to say. No, I can’t ‘read your mind’ or whatever. I know that’s what you were going to say and think because that’s what you were always going to say and think. Every molecule, every atom, every quark that bumped into one another since the Big Bang was perfectly aligned for the end result of you doing exactly what you’re doing right now—sitting there with your mouth agape.
** Dr. █████████:** …I—
** SCP-xxxx:** Please let me speak. You have nothing of value to add here. I see it. I see it all. I know how you’re going to react to my words. I know that you’re going to go home and it’s going to torture you not to say anything about what happened today to your wife. I know you have a wife, because I know the exact set of stimuli that led you to go to that night club where you met her twenty years ago. Yes, led. You didn’t choose to go there. Nobody chooses to do anything. Nobody acts. All you can do is react, your brains reacting in exactly one way, the only way they can, in every situation that will ever present itself to you. Everyone, every living thing, is just a chemical reaction working itself out.
** Dr. █████████:** And…you aren’t?
** SCP-xxxx:** (subject laughs) Are you kidding me, doctor? I’m no more in control than you. I was always going to end up on that hill, at that time, to see the monsters that eat the hearts of galaxies and hear the stars singing to one another across the light years as they die. I was always going to sit in this chair and say these exact words to you. The only difference between you and I is that I’m more acutely aware of my helplessness.
** Dr. █████████:** So you acquired your abilities on a hill? Where would this be?
** SCP-xxxx:** Don’t concern yourself with it, doctor. The event that took place there won’t occur again for at least another thousand years, and it won’t matter much to either of us when it does.
** Dr. █████████:** Can you tell us exactly what happened to you?
** SCP-xxxx:** I already told you doctor. (the subject leans over the table) I saw.
** Dr. █████████:** What did you see?
** SCP-xxxx:** That would be telling, wouldn’t it? But never mind. You will never know what happened to me, doctor. You will never understand. You will never know what it feels like to be trapped along a single path, unable to turn aside, forced to partake in an endless charade with scores of automatons dancing at the behest of an unseen hand. I watch, and I weep, and I rail against my fate, and even my desire to break free is nothing but an illusion.
** Dr. █████████:** (clearing of the throat) Can you tell us why you broke containment and attempted to escape?
** SCP-xxxx:** I wasn’t trying to escape doctor. Everything I’ve done so far has been preparing this Site for [REDACTED]. Oh, I’m sorry, did I scare you with that? Don’t worry, you’ll win. That time. What else should I tell you? Shall I inform you of the identities of your O5 Council? Would you like to know what kind of television [REDACTED] enjoys? Or how long [REDACTED] takes to brush their teeth at night? Am I making you uncomfortable, doctor?
** Dr. █████████:** I…I have to go. (Dr. █████████ stands up and fumbles at the recording device.
<End Log]>
Closing Statement: [Following the interview, Dr. █████████ voluntarily received a Class B amnestic to protect the identities of O5 council members. A request for either termination or administering of a Class E amnestic to SCP-xxxx has been filed by the Site Director and is currently pending authorization.]
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is to be kept within a 4x4x2m containment chamber and provided with standard animal SCP amenities. Food and water are to be refilled twice daily by C-Class personnel. Speaking while in the presence of SCP-xxxx is not forbidden, but personnel who do so are advised to regulate their speech with care. In the event that C-Class or higher personnel are affected by SCP-xxxx, SCP-xxxx is to be immediately administered a class-A amnestic.
Description: SCP-xxxx is a common domesticated maine coon cat estimated to be 2 years in age. The subject has grey fur and yellow eyes, weighs 4.9 kg, and is approximately 35cm tall and 120cm long, including its tail. Other than its anomalous properties, the subject’s behavior, diet, and appearance are entirely consistent with other cats of its breed.
If a palindrome is spoken within the hearing of SCP-xxxx, the being who spoke will be compelled to repeat the palindrome continuously and as quickly as possible. This effect has been designated SCP-xxxx-1. The affected person, designated as SCP-xxxx-2, is unable to stop repeating the palindrome, even during non-REM sleep or medically induced comas. SCP-xxxx-1 can be triggered even in the case of voice recordings, regardless of the age of the recording, although sound quality plays a significant factor in whether or not SCP-xxxx-1 is triggered. While under the effect of SCP-xxxx-1, it is practically impossible for SCP-xxxx-2 to intake sustenance via their mouths, and their ability to communicate with others is severely compromised. After 12 hours, SCP-xxxx-2’s mental state will rapidly deteriorate to the point where the subject may attempt to harm either themselves or SCP-xxxx. If SCP-xxxx-1 is not halted within 24 hours, SCP-xxxx-2 is at high risk of death by dehydration. SCP-xxxx-1 can only be halted by application of an amnestic to SCP-xxxx to remove SCP-xxxx’s memory of the palindrome being spoken.
SCP-xxxx was discovered in a pet shelter in ████████ after one of the volunteer workers there tiggered SCP-xxxx-1, becoming the first known instance of SCP-xxx-2. Both SCP-xxxx and the volunteer, now designated SCP-xxxx-2-1, were retrieved and transported to Site-██. SCP-xxxx-2-1 was fitted with an IV drip while the effects of SCP-xxxx were studied. After 24 hours, Dr. ██████ suggested the application of a Class-A amnestic to both SCP-xxxx and SCP-xxxx-2-1, which proved effective in removing the effect from SCP-xxxx-2-1. After further testing was performed with D-Class personnel, it was determined that only application of amnestic to SCP-xxxx was necessary to halt the effects of SCP-xxxx-1.
The specific nature of SCP-xxxx-1, how it is triggered, and its removal through amnestic has led some to theorize that SCP-xxxx is in fact sapient and actively chooses to affect individuals with SCP-xxxx-1. An alternative theory suggests that the triggering of SCP-xxxx-1 is somehow a reflexive instinct over which SCP-xxxx has no direct control. Further testing is required to determine the true nature of SCP-xxxx’s ability.
Addendum:
Experiment Log xxxx-2-2:
Subject: D-7829373, ██ year old African American male, designated SCP-xxxx-2-2. When questioned, expressed dislike of cats. Subject was introduced to SCP-xxxx with a bulletproof glass wall between them, with small holes through which sound could travel.
Palindrome: Able was I saw Elba.
Results: SCP-xxxx-1 triggered immediately, at a rate of one repetition per two seconds. The subject covered their mouth with both hands for fifteen seconds, then proceeded to attempt to break the glass in order to assault SCP-xxxx. SCP-xxxx exhibited defensive behavior, hissing at SCP-xxxx-2-2. SCP-xxxx-2-2 was restrained by security personnel and placed on a gurney for a period of 24 hours, during which time the subject was fed with an IV drip. The subject remained conscious during the entire testing period. After this period, a Class-A amnestic was administered to SCP-xxxx. SCP-xxxx-2-2 immediately ceased repetition and fell unconscious.
Experiment Log xxxx-2-3:
Subject: D-1324672, ██ Caucasian female, designated SCP-xxxx-2-3. When questioned, expressed love of cats. Subject was introduced to SCP-xxxx in conditions identical to those in experiment xxxx-2-2.
Palindrome: Ana
Results: SCP-xxxx-1 triggered immediately, at a rate of one repetition per one second. SCP-xxxx-2-3 proceeded to the entrance of the test chamber and pounded on the door repeatedly until escorted out. SCP-xxxx exhibited no significant reaction to SCP-xxxx-2-3's behavior. SCP-xxxx was administered amnestic after a period of 12 hours, after which SCP-xxxx-2-3 ceased repetition.
Experiment Log xxxx-2-4:
Subject: Research Assistant █████████, ██ year old Indian female, designated SCP-xxxx-2-4. When questioned, expressed love of cats. The subject was scheduled for transfer to Site-██, and agreed to participate in this experiment to determine the range of SCP-xxxx-1. Subject’s voice was recorded, and the recording played back to SCP-xxxx after SCP-xxxx-2-4 arrived at Site- ██.
Palindrome: Are we not pure? “No sir!” Panama’s moody Noriega brags. “It is garbage!” Irony dooms a man; a prisoner up to new era.
Results: SCP-xxxx-1 triggered immediately, at a rate of one repetition per ten seconds. After a period of two hours, amnestic was administered to SCP-xxxx, whereupon SCP-xxxx-2-4 ceased to be affected. Following the results of this experiment, it was determined that further testing of SCP-xxxx would not be performed on C-Class or higher personnel..
Experiment Log xxxx-2-5:
Subject: George, an African grey parrot, designated SCP-xxxx-2-5. Subject was trained to speak the pallindrome on command and introduced to SCP-xxxx in conditions identical to experiments xxxx-2-2 and SCP-xxxx-2-3.
Palindrome: Acrobats stab orca.
Results: SCP-xxxx-1 triggered immediately, at a rate of one repetition per one second. SCP-xxxx-2-5 exhibited signs of extreme duress and began flying about the enclosure. SCP-xxxx exhibited great interest in SCP-xxxx-2-5, at one point leaping into the glass in what is assumed to have been an attempt to capture SCP-xxxx-2-5. SCP-xxxx was administered amnestic after fifteen minutes, whereupon repetition immediately ceased.
