A Sensitive Guy

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be housed within a standard humanoid containment cell. The following alterations are to be made to the unit to accommodate SCP-XXXX:

• Sink, toilet and bathing units from SCP-XXXX’s cell are not to directly connect to Site-XXXX’s standard waste disposal system; rather, all waste water and materials originating from SCP-XXXX’s cell are to undergo separate filtration and treatment to ensure all waste material has been removed before the water may be cycled into the standard system. All material accrued by this method is to be collected into Level-4 Bio-Containers, correctly labelled and then transferred to Site- ██ Long Term Bio-Storage, Bays 5-15.
• All ventilation shafts leading to and from SCP-XXXX’s cell are to be fitted with filters designed to catch all skin debris ambient in the air. Filters are to be cleared during bi-weekly cleaning of SCP-XXXX’s cell, with the resultant matter collected into Level-4 Bio-Containers, correctly labelled and then transferred to Site- ██ Long Term Bio-Storage, Bays 5-15.

All queries and proposed changes to containment procedures to be dealt with by Researcher Wintergreen.
SCP-XXXX is to receive standard nutritional rations and medical attention appropriate to a human male of its age and health profile. All staff required to interact directly with SCP-XXXX, its waste materials or its immediate environment are required to wear Level-4 Bio-Enclosures. During bi-weekly cleaning of SCP-XXXX’s cell, SCP-XXXX is to be heavily sedated, at which time any required physical maintenance (cutting of hair, shaving, etc.) is to be carried out, and any matter thus accrued is to be collected and, together with all matter collected during cleaning, placed into Level-4 Bio-Containers, correctly labelled and then transferred to Site- ██ Long-Term Bio-Storage, Bays 5-15. All staff who make direct physical contact with SCP-XXXX, its waste materials or its immediate environment without proper safety measures must report immediately to Site- ██ Medical Wing for complete examination.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a human male, 1.78m in height and weighing 52.2kg. Due to SCP-XXXX’s mental difficulties and its lifestyle prior to containment, exact information regarding its age and background has proved difficult to establish; however, an approximate age of 50-55 years has been arrived at through medical testing. Prior to containment, SCP-XXXX had been subsisting as a vagrant in the city of [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and exhibits numerous health issues associated with a long-term homeless lifestyle, as well as symptoms of extended nicotine, alcohol and opiate use and dependence.

SCP-XXXX's anomalous property manifests as an ability to receive coherent sensory information from any biological matter excreted or otherwise removed from its body; this effect extends, but is not limited, to blood, saliva, sweat, urine, hair, faeces, tissue samples, dead skin fragments and [REDACTED]. This matter has proved to be extremely sensitive to any and all manipulation, with anything but the gentlest pressure eliciting an extreme pain response from SCP-XXXX, neurologically identical to reactions to physical trauma. The exact mechanism of SCP-XXXX's ability to receive sensory input from matter no longer physically connected to its nervous system is poorly understood, though testing has been carried out to assess the extent and limitations of SCP-XXXX’s anomalous property. See Testing Logs XXXX-1 for further information. Physiological examination has provided no insights, with SCP-XXXX's only deviations from species norm being a noticeable enlargement of brain areas implicated in the ascending pain pathway (thalamus, hypothalamus, etc.) and a lack of cortical damage usually found in those experiencing prolonged chronic physical pain.

Psychiatric evaluation of SCP-XXXX has led to a diagnosis of severe catatonic schizophrenia, with thought delusions focused around the attempts of others to steal or otherwise gain possession of SCP-XXXX’s waste material. As is common among sufferers of catatonic schizophrenia, SCP-XXXX alternates between ‘passive’ periods of near-comatose stillness and immobility and ‘active’ periods of intense agitation and exaggerated motion. Although physically capable of speech, SCP-XXXX is largely non-verbal, only vocalising when experiencing extreme distress. However, if provided with writing materials, during ‘active’ periods SCP-XXXX will constantly and obsessively log its bodily sensations, changes in bodily function and its sensations from its extraneous matter, neglecting this activity only to eat, sleep or attend to its physical needs. It is important to note that due to its anomalous property, SCP-XXXX exhibits extreme aversion to excretion of waste, and will engage in starvation and avoidance of excretion to this end. IV nutrition and a regimen of laxatives is approved if and when these episodes occur. Both pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments have thus far failed to alleviate any of SCP-XXXX’s psychological symptoms. It is currently unknown whether SCP-XXXX’s mental health issues represent a psychological response to its anomalous property and possible coping mechanism used to deal with large amounts of distressing incoming sensory information, or than a component of SCP-XXXX’s anomalous property in and of themselves.

Testing Log XXXX-1

Testing Log XXXX-1: The following logs document various tests attempting to determine the nature and extent of SCP-X’s anomalous property. All testing conducted under the supervision and with the approval of Researcher Wintergreen.

Test 1, ██/ ██/199█
Procedure: SCP-XXXX restrained. Heart rate, blood pressure and brain activation patterns monitored. Sample of SCP-XXXX waste material removed from storage without SCP-XXXX’s prior knowledge and outside of SCP-XXXX’s sight. Waste sample exposed to destructive force (open flame registering 250C).
Results: Upon sample being removed from storage, SCP-X immediately became visibly agitated and began vocalising, pleading with staff to return sample to storage. Upon exposure of waste sample to open flame, all measures registered a physiological response identical to those experienced by those undergoing extreme pain. SCP-X’s vocalisations mention a burning sensation.
Conclusion:_ SCP-X’s ability confirmed not to be psychosomatic in nature. Furthermore, SCP-X is able to sense what type of force is being applied to its extraneous materials – Researcher Wintergreen.

Test 2, ██/ ██/199█
Procedure: SCP-X restrained. Heart rate, blood pressure and brain activation patterns monitored. Sample of SCP-X’s waste material removed from storage without SCP-X’s prior knowledge and outside of SCP-X’s sight. Sample transported to Site-█ (distance: approx.. 1500km). Waste sample exposed to destructive force (dissection with scalpel).
Results: Upon sample being removed from storage, SCP-X immediately became visibly agitated and began vocalising, again pleading with staff that sample be left in storage. Throughout transit of sample between Sites, SCP-X was able to correctly and consistently identify the direction, heading and distance of the sample from itself. Again, upon exposure of sample to cutting implements, all measures confirmed a physiological response to pain exactly in time with manipulation of the sample. SCP-X’s vocalisations contain many references to feelings of cutting.
Conclusions: Because of SCP-X’s immediate response to manipulation of sample despite geographical displacement, it seems that SCP-X’s property is not mediated by distance. Furthermore, the reaction time of SCP-X to manipulation of the sample indicates that the mechanism of SCP-X’s property is effectively instantaneous. Approval of research into possible applications of SCP-X’s property to allow instantaneous communication between key Foundation facilities is pending. Again, SCP-X shows sensitivity to type of force exerted on its extraneous materials – Researcher Wintergreen.

Document XXXX-35-A: Excepts from SCP-XXXX Notebooks

Document XXXX-35-A: Except from SCP-XXXX Notebooks: As noted above, when provided with writing materials during an ‘active’ period, SCP-XXX will make extensive notes about its own physical situation. Please be aware that this is a direct transcript, with all grammar and syntax errors from the source preserved.

…blood runnin well hair ok but three strands falling out one on shoulder and lots of skin falkes shit still sitting in tank tho some stuk in ubend piss seems to be flowin around filter better tell its broken big tanks are ok but some skin in with piss doesnt feel good better tell some hair still under [REDACTED] brige but mos of it caught in axle of street cleanr that hurts a lot its twisted and tangled and gets pulled a lot same withstuff in the sewers wish i could get it back and keep it safe with others but cant cant cant anyway nails all ok in jars but near air conditioner vent so so it gets cold a lot like blod samples in lab they took stored blood ok hair still ok loose pieces closer to falling out now but thats ok skin still flakey…

Very rarely, statements not directly related to SCP-XXXX physical state will occur. The following are examples of such statements.

i dont want this anymore

everything hurts

take it away please

im sorry

Addendum XXXX-1

Investigation currently underway into the slightly increased rate of mental health complaints among staff attached to SCP-XXXX when compared with Foundation baseline for Euclid-assigned staff. Decreased assignment time for staff to SCP-XXXX pending Site-██ Senior Staff approval – Researcher Wintergreen, ██/██/199█.

Misc.

I'll do it later
