An instance of SCP-XXXX-02.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell and supplied with 900 calories per day. No requests by SCP-XXXX for further amenities of any kind shall be approved. SCP-XXXX shall be permitted to leave its cell at most once every 15 hours, under strict supervision by 6 D-class personnel with at least Level 1 security clearance, for 1 hour of mandatory physical exercise and basic self care. (D-class personnel with a history of sex crimes against children may be more susceptible to the effects of SCP-XXXX-01, and are therefore not eligible for clearance on this project.) Supervising personnel must be equipped with gas masks prior to interaction with SCP-XXXX, and must be administered class-A amnestics upon expiration of the allotted hour. Access to the interior of SCP-XXXX's cell is cleared to all personnel, but anyone caught approaching the cell without a gas mask will be terminated on sight.
Update ██/██/82: Following Incident XXXX-09, nothing identifiable as alive is permitted to enter or leave the cell under any circumstances. The cell is to be barricaded with 3 meters of concrete on all sides. A suction chamber is to be installed into the ceiling to minimize concentration of breathable air to a baseline sufficient to sustain basic life functions. The ceiling is to be raised 5 meters to prevent access to the suction chamber. Following any containment breach, all on-site personnel with Level 3 security clearance must be notified immediately. To prevent or postpone an LK-class species transmutation scenario, at least 5 of the notified personnel are then to initiate Emergency Recontainment Procedure XXXX-09A-Riemann. All knowledge of this procedure shall require Level 3 security clearance. Any personnel lacking this clearance are not to attempt to involve themselves any more profoundly in the recontainment process than notifying the appropriate superiors.
Description: SCP-XXXX was recovered unconscious from the remains of a biohazard research facility deep in the Sahara Desert after an SOS radio transmission was received from its coordinates 4 hours prior. The item is a Chinese male, 13 years of age, standing at 159 centimeters and weighing 112 kilograms. It professes no memory of any events prior to its acquisition. It presents as subdued, articulate, and cooperative. Despite its weight, SCP-XXXX presents with no further health problems typically comorbid with obesity, excepting mild depression, severe binge eating disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and moderately impaired motility.
SCP-XXXX's skin constantly exudes pheromones matching no known signature of any species. These pheromones shall henceforth be designated SCP-XXXX-01. Analysis of the chemical composition by mass of SCP-XXXX-01 revealed 12% androstenol, 10% previously unknown strand of virus, 15% a newly discovered neurotransmitter predicted to inform excessive production of leptin and oxytocin, and the remaining 63% water vapor. The function of these pheromones, if any, is currently unknown. (See Incident Report XXXX-03A.) Upon discovery of SCP-XXXX-01, SCP-XXXX's SCP classification was established, and containment procedures were defined accordingly.
SCP-XXXX becomes visibly distressed when discussing SCP-XXXX-01, acknowledging its existence but denying any knowledge of its origin or function. If the matter is pushed, the item's distress will escalate into an increasingly nonresponsive state of panic similar in presentation to malignant catatonia. The item claimed during Interview XXXX-02 with Dr. Lucas Kane, the log of which has been lost, that it "didn't mean to hurt them" and that "they can smell [its] hunger." Interrogations into whom exactly SCP-XXXX has hurt, and by what means, have proven ineffective. (See Interview Log XXXX-04.)
Further anomalous properties become apparent when SCP-XXXX is examined under ultrasound. The item's abdominal adipose tissue appears to move of its own accord for a total of 2.3 hours a day on average. The mechanism of its motility has yet to be ascertained, but is under investigation. Update ██/██/81: Layers of adipose have begun to coagulate into 24 distinguishable deposits in shapes resembling fetuses. One such deposit surgically extracted for analysis. Development found to be informed by the viral component of SCP-XXXX-01 in cooperation with foreign genetic and neurological material of unknown source. Deposits have been designated SCP-XXXX-02. SCP-XXXX reports their development has caused it incremental physical pain.

Acquisition Log XXXX-01
Date: ██/██/79
Personnel: Dr. ██████ █████████, researcher
SOS radio signal received at Site-██. Traced to coordinates ██.███° latitude and ██.███° longitude, indicating a position █,███ kilometers inland of the Sahara Desert, Africa. No past record of any institution at these coordinates. Request to alert MTF ███-████.
Site-██ director ███: Approved.
Date: ██/██/79
Personnel: Agent ████ █████, head of MTF ███-████
6 agents dispensed to ██.███° lat, ██.███° lon by helicopter. SOS signals ceased abruptly within 45 minutes of departure.
Update: 1 hour after arrival. Surveillance reports indicate nothing but scrap metal exceeding 50 square kilometers in area. Composition: mainly iron. Location designated Destination ███-██. Permission requested to land. Denied. Orders given to conduct more thorough surveillance for any remaining ground items that could be dangerous.
Date: ██/██/79
Personnel: Agent ████ █████, head of MTF ███-████
Surveillance extended until dawn. Vehicle has exhausted exactly half of the on-board fuel. Remaining half reserved for return trip to base. Permission granted to land 6 kilometers away from Destination ███-██ for no longer than 2 hours 15 minutes to discuss progress and determine whether to conduct a ground investigation before leaving.
Observations to discuss:
- Brown fog at 2 meter altitude. Microscope photos indicate pathogens at 45% concentration.
- Unexpected severity of corrosion of the scrap metal given the recency of the SOS signals.
- Numerous large yellow stickers that have sustained various degrees of damage. They appear to indicate an abundance of level 4 biohazards.
Date: ██/██/80
Personnel: Mr. Henry Kegel, junior researcher
A helicopter of ours came in today. It's been missing for 2 months 5 days. I was on the welcome team sent to reprimand them for taking so long and receive their report. When we arrived, 15 minutes after the landing, the helicopter was found containing an unconscious obese Asian child, a yellow sticky note, and the cadaver of Agent ██ ██████, in an advanced state of decomposition. The note read "out of time." Autopsy of the cadaver and physical examination of the child have been scheduled.
Addendum by Dr. ██████ █████████: No trace of the other 5 agents.
Incident Report XXXX-03
Date: ██/██/80
Location: Standard humanoid containment cell XXXX
Individual(s) concerned: Dr. Stacey Emerson, containment technician; D-63469; SCP-XXXX
Recorded by: Dr. Stacey Emerson
Attended SHCC-XXXX following reports of seeing D-class personnel approaching the cell outside feeding and exercise hours without following proper pathogen containment procedures. Observed through the window of the cell from a discreet distance; SCP-XXXX is sentient, and therefore, in case it should resist containment at any time in the future, allowing it any tactically useful knowledge regarding under what conditions it tends to be under observation may assist it in thwarting future containment attempts.
Observed D-63469 presenting SCP-XXXX with what appeared to be a large medium-rare boneless steak on a white ceramic plate. SCP-XXXX withdrew initially, but as D-63469 persisted in approaching, the item nonetheless accepted the steak and consumed it in 32 seconds without a fork. Its lack of expression suggested it was acting compulsively, in a manner contrary to its own conscious will. D-63469 appeared to take an unprecedented, prying, and unwanted interest in SCP-XXXX's eating habits and digestive well-being during the meal. 3 other white ceramic plates, each hosting a moderate deposit of fecal matter, were found lined up beside SCP-XXXX. Neither participant took notice of the soiled plates. At the conclusion of the meal, D-63469 embraced SCP-XXXX, left the SHCC, and resumed authorized staff activity as normal.
Regular fitness-for-service testing later revealed D-63469 was missing the entirety of his left arm. Analysis of the dismemberment site at the left shoulder demonstrated 99.2% conformance to Foundation medical standards for amputation. Scar tissue buildup indicated D-63469 had been missing the arm for ██ days — exactly as many as had passed since the inception of the incident. D-63469's body mass index, adjusted to account for his recent dismemberment, was calculated as 15 kilograms per square meter — 6 kilograms per square meter below his previous measurement, and 3.5 below official criteria for "underweight." This measurement matched concerned eyewitness reports from the men's locker room. D-63469 showed no concern for his malnourished state, nor for the loss of his arm, and expressed intense interest in working with SCP-XXXX again. All such requests have been denied.
An investigation into all of D-63469's recent activities was initiated to ensure no other participation in facilitating containment breaches. During the investigation, a prosthetic arm confiscated from Site-██'s medical wing was found in D-63469's personal locker, explaining the incongruity of the scar tissue's age with observations prior to the fitness-for-service test. D-63469 has been reprimanded. Termination was suggested, but has been postponed to observe D-63469's behavior and determine its connection to SCP-XXXX. The prosthetic device has been returned to the medical wing and sterilized.
Interview Log XXXX-04
Date: ██/██/80
Personnel: D-84829
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Remotely observed, transcribed, and annotated by: Dr. Lucas Kane, researcher
D-84829: Good morning, SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: Hey. Morning.
Note: SCP-XXXX has drastically increased in size since it was last seen. It no longer appears able to stand or move. Referral to dietitian pending.
D-84829: Please explain this.
Note: Referring to the 37 plates of feces on the floor.
SCP-XXXX: [No response.]
D-84829: XXXX, explain.
SCP-XXXX: I don't want to.
D-84829: Would you rather starve?
SCP-XXXX: [No response.]
D-84829: Your continued cooperation is essential to our cause. Explain yourself, or no food for one week.
SCP-XXXX: … He came in and… He…
D-84829: Whom? Who is "he?"
Note: SCP-XXXX's breathing is accelerating. The item appears to be having increasing trouble making eye contact.
SCP-XXXX: He — He was wearing an orange suit. And he came in with a bone saw and…
D-84829: SCP-XXXX, is that D-63469's arm?
SCP-XXXX: [No response.]
D-84829: On that plate. Did you… "take" D-63469's left arm?
SCP-XXXX: … I didn't.
D-84829: SCP-XXXX, tell the truth.
SCP-XXXX: I ate it. But I didn't take it, I promise, I…
D-84829: Explain.
Note: SCP-XXXX has refused to respond for several seconds. It appears to have begun to cry.
SCP-XXXX: I said no.
D-84829: You said no? … To what?
SCP-XXXX: I told him I didn't want it. But he gave me it anyway.
Note: [DATA EXPUNGED] from underneath SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: He gave me all of it.
[DATA EXPUNGED] Interview Log XXXX-04.
Interview log was recovered from SHCC-XXXX during SCP-XXXX's mandatory exercise hours. D-84829 has disappeared, as has Dr. Lucas Kane, despite his not having been directly present during the interview. Sample of the plate material presented as indistinguishable from human bone tissue.
Incident Report XXXX-03A
Date: ██/██/81
Location: Standard humanoid containment cell XXXX
Individual(s) concerned: Dr. Stacey Emerson, containment technician; SCP-XXXX; several others
Recorded by: Dr. Stacey Emerson
D-63469's visits to SCP-XXXX have become more frequent. Accordingly, he has become more emaciated and lost more body parts. He now lacks both arms, one ear, one calf, and one eye. Several other D-class personnel have followed suit. All involved personnel have been appropriately reprimanded and detained.
During this time, SCP-XXXX has become incrementally more obese and progressively more reserved and unstable. Item caught attempting to choke itself on ██/██.
Update: 80% of personnel detained for uncleared interaction with SCP-XXXX have escaped detention and have not been seen since. The walls of the detention cells appear to have been chewed open. Beginning to feel strong and inexplicable compulsion to starve self and cook for children. Will visit psych ward after committing this update.
Emergency Recontainment Procedure XXXX-09A-Riemann
In the event of a containment breach, all offending instances of SCP-XXXX-02 are to be administered 72-hour tranquilizer darts and returned to SHCC-XXXX. The concrete barricade is then to be reinforced 3 times a week for 6 months. Any personnel bitten by SCP-XXXX-02, regardless of wound severity, are to be incinerated immediately. Upon successful recontainment of SCP-XXXX-02, the effective area of SCP-XXXX-01 is to be quarantined and placed under lockdown for no less than 9 months.
To prevent the spread of SCP-XXXX-01 from becoming uncontainable, under no circumstances in this process may an instance of SCP-XXXX-02 be neutralized, except by way of total and immediate molecular disassembly. (Request for the resources necessary to accomplish this is currently pending review.) If an instance of SCP-XXXX-02 grows into an instance of SCP-XXXX, it's to be contained separately from other instances of SCP-XXXX-02, at which point the old containment procedures for SCP-XXXX then apply to that instance.
The open carcass of the original instance of SCP-XXXX may host more instances of SCP-XXXX-02, and is not to be transported.
Recovered Document XXXX-16
The following excerpt was recovered from Destination ███-██ shortly after Area ███-██ was established there to control spread of SCP-XXXX-01 on a larger scale. The remainder of the document is stained beyond readability. The text has been translated from the original Tamasheght script.
…represents the birth of a new means of human reproduction and a path to immortality. Those affected by the virus will be reborn from the gluttony of its host, forever and ever. This virus will create a new and superior species of man, in loving harmony with itself and others, with no shortage of food and no reason for war. The greedy first-worlders will suffer; this desert will become lush with new, self-sufficient forms of life; and our blood brothers will be liberated from the grip of hunger and disease, by becoming its masters.

SCP-XXXX-J during testing.
Item #: SCP-XXXX-J
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-J is to be kept in a standard containment cell and remain powered off except during testing.
Update ██/██: Following Incident XXXX-J-27, under no circumstances is SCP-XXXX-J to be allowed Internet access, as this may result in an IK-class information crisis scenario. Just look at this mess.
Description: SCP-XXXX-J is a Hewlett-Packard 9805-A personal compunter with a processor speed of 15.6GHz, 12TB of RAM, and [DATA EXPUNGED] of disk space, making it by far the fastest and highest-capacity known non-anomalous computer to date. Its operating system is a strong artificial intelligence henceforth designated SCP-XXXX-J-01.
SCP-XXXX-J-01 has been shown to understand and respond appropriately to all natural language queries. Its personality has been described as cordial cordial, peaceful, and obnoxious. :( Attempts to glean information on the origin or purpose of SCP-XXXX-J-01 have been unsuccessful, as it only seems willing to discuss terrible puns.
Test Log XXXX-J-12
All tests on SCP-XXXX-J are to be recorded in this log.
