SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: The electrical supply to SCP-XXXX is to be maintained continuously. In the case of an imminent power failure, connection to the public electrical grid is allowed. Damage to SCP-XXXX is to be repaired as rapidly as possible.

SCP-XXXX-1 is to be supplied with ten gallons of XXXX-Alpha solution every month, in addition to a sufficient quantity of intravenous nutritional solution. All solutions are to be administered through the tanks affixed to the side of SCP-XXXX. Requests made by SCP-XXXX-1 are to be approved by Level 5 personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX before being met. Medical personnel are to remain on standby near SCP-XXXX, and are to be mobilized in the event that SCP-XXXX-1 loses consciousness.

In the case that SCP-XXXX initiates an XXXX-Sigma event, attempts are to be made to evacuate the Front Range region. A disinformation campaign against the XXXX-Sigma event is to be launched in conjunction with evacuation efforts. The use of Class-A amnestics is also authorized if the disinformation campaign proves insufficient.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an airtight metal capsule located in a sealed cave near Georgetown, CO. SCP-XXXX is connected to a small modular nuclear reactor, and is fitted with several liquid storage tanks. SCP-XXXX has a circular access port that is ten centimeters wide, which can be only be opened from the inside. The cave that holds SCP-XXXX bears petroglyphs similar to those produced by the Muache Ute Tribe. SCP-XXXX contains SCP-XXXX-1.

SCP-XXXX-1 is a non-anomalous Caucasian male. It claims to be 104 years old, with autonomic nervous system analysis corroborating the assertion. Vital signs for SCP-XXXX-1 are displayed on a standard hospital monitor outside of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 is conscious and healthy, considering its advanced age, and is able to communicate with Foundation personnel using a speaker system.

SCP-XXXX-1 demands to be consistently supplied with XXXX-Alpha, a substance it believes will extend its life indefinitely. XXXX-Alpha is composed of 76% water, 20% glucose, 2% myelin, 1.3% [REDACTED], AND 0.7% sodium chloride. Testing of XXXX-Alpha has yielded only rudimentary improvements in neural health. SCP-XXXX-1 appears to have some means to analyze the chemical composition of XXXX-Alpha, and is thus able to independently verify that it is supplied with genuine XXXX-Alpha solution.

SCP-XXXX-1

SCP-XXXX-1 possesses two rawhide ceremonial rattles, collectively designated SCP-XXXX-2. When shaken simultaneously, SCP-XXXX-2 spontaneously generate a massive electric potential difference between them, producing an electrostatic discharge. In addition to its electric properties, SCP-XXXX-2 will trigger a manifestation of SCP-XXXX-3.

SCP-XXXX has been fitted with a simple mechanical device that will activate SCP-XXXX-2 in the event that:

  • The outer surface of the capsule is breached
  • Electrical power to the system is cut off
  • The electrical signature of ventricular systole from SCP-XXXX-1 ceases for more than 2 minutes.

SCP-XXXX-1 is also able to use SCP-XXXX-2 directly, utilizing a set of specially designed gloves to redirect the resulting electrostatic discharge.

SCP-XXXX-3 is an incorporeal entity that presents itself only as audible resonations in the cave that holds SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-3 is able to communicate in an archaic form of several Uto-Aztecan languages. Efforts to translate these communications have proven difficult due to limited sample size and the extreme age of the dialect. Through comparison with Pipil, Ute, Panamint, and Shoshoni, the basic intent and subject of some SCP-XXXX-3 communications has been ascertained.

SCP-XXXX-3 is capable of influencing weather phenomena to an apparently unlimited extent. It expresses strong malevolence toward modern civilization, but seems to be beholden to the will of the individual that uses SCP-XXXX-2. Both SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-3 claim that the activation of SCP-XXXX-2 achieved through mechanical means would result in a manifestation of SCP-XXXX-3 in which it is not obligated to follow orders from any human being. Such a scenario has been designated an XXXX-Sigma event.

Addendum XXXX-1: Interview with SCP-XXXX-1

The following interview was conducted on 27-08-2006, following the discovery of SCP-XXXX.

Agent █████: Good morning, SCP-XXXX-1.

SCP-XXXX-1: Is it really? I’ll have to take your word for it.

Agent █████: Can you tell me your name?

SCP-XXXX-1: I’m afraid that’s sensitive information. It would cause quite a hubbub if it got out.

Agent █████: Noted. Why did you put yourself inside SCP-XXXX?

SCP-XXXX-1: I thought I already told you people? I found the stuff that will make me live forever, but I knew only your organization would have enough of it. So I built myself a little machine to keep me safe and make sure you give me only the good stuff.

Agent █████: But the XXXX-Alpha solution you provided does not show…

SCP-XXXX-1: I’m not going to let you poison me with whatever the hell your doctors brew up. I know my cure works, and I won’t take anything else.

Agent █████: That’s fine. How did you come across SCP-XXXX-2?

SCP-XXXX-1: The rattles? Some…acquaintances brought my attention to them. I’m sure they wouldn’t be very happy if they found out where they are now, but that’s never going to happen now that you people are keeping the secret, is it?

Agent █████: One more question. Are you fully aware of the potential consequences of activating SCP-XXXX-2 using the mechanism you have in place?

SCP-XXXX-1: Me and the big guy have talked about it at length. You know you can understand his gibberish perfectly well if you’re the one who shook the rattlers? Anyway, he says he’d be happy to murder everyone if you let him loose. And if the machine does the shaking, he’s free to do what he will.

Agent █████: That will be all.

SCP-XXXX-1: Hey! Tell your higher-ups to send me some cigars! It gets boring in here.

Addendum XXXX-2: Incident XXXX-1

On 09-09-2013, SCP-XXXX-1 was supplied with a nutrient mixture doped with general anesthetics and precursor drugs, in an attempt to induce unconsciousness and remove SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-1 was able to detect the presence of these drugs, and activated SCP-XXXX-2 in response. Under the control of SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-3 caused heavy flooding across the Front Range in Colorado, inflicting approximately 1 billion USD in property damage.

Addendum XXXX-3: Interview with SCP-XXXX-3

Expected inundated area during a hypothetical XXXX-Sigma Event.

SCP-XXXX-1 agreed to trigger a manifestation of SCP-XXXX-3. Because Foundation personnel are unable to communicate in any meaningful sense with SCP-XXXX-3, SCP-XXXX-1 also served as a translator. All untranslatable phrases appear as phonetic approximations.

SCP-XXXX-3: [Greetings]

Dr. ███████: What are you?

SCP-XXXX-3: [I am the spirit of] Cuma’ma’u [, wife of] Coma’napüz [, and mother of thunder]

Dr. ███████: When were you created?

SCP-XXXX-3: [Two hundred thousand moons ago]

Dr. ███████: Why are you beholden to those who use the rattles?

SCP-XXXX-3: [I obey the will of the Sun Dancers. They give their] dosabitat [, so that I may bless them with water]

Dr. ███████: And why do you view modern society with such contempt?

SCP-XXXX-3: [SCP-XXXX-1 reports a series of extremely negative sentiments. Foundation transcribers had difficulty differentiating the sounds produced by SCP-XXXX-3 from normal reverberation.]

Dr. ███████: That’s enough! Okay, you didn’t seem to like that. There’s just one more question. What is the upper limit of your ability to influence weather phenomena?

SCP-XXXX-3: [One hundred and seventy thousand moons ago, in the land of] Amotken1 [I was called upon to aid in the war against a great enemy. I shook the earth with my thunder and turned the waters against the enemy. Their women drowned, their men rendered homeless and starved. There was peace.]

Dr. ███████: That’s good. I think that’ll be all, SCP-XXXX-1.

It is now believed that SCP-XXXX-3 may have caused the event that carved the Channeled Scablands in Washington, a cataclysmic flood that occurred about 14,000 years ago. This event produced a peak flow rate of 20 cubic kilometers per hour, and inundated almost 100 square kilometers in what is now eastern Washington. If this event were to be replicated in the modern Front Range region, it would result approximately 500 billion USD in damage and about 2 million casualties.
