DisquietRiot's Wacky Sandhole

Item #: SCP-X

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-X is to be contained at the site of its discovery, the basement of a residential building in Rochester, New York. This residence is designated Temporary Satellite Site 14, with the basement acting as SCP-X’s cell until suitable long-term containment can be achieved. Temporary Sat-Site 14 is to be staffed at all times by no less than three Foundation operatives posing as tenants under standard "Plain Sight" cover protocols, with preference given to personnel who have survived at least one reality restructuring event. A designated developmental psychologist must conduct biweekly sessions with SCP-X in order to discourage breach attempts.

Floodlights must be installed in every interior room of Temporary Sat-Site 14, with controls easily accessible by all personnel. In addition, motion-activated lights must be fitted to all building exits. All facility lights must be properly maintained and tested by site personnel on a weekly basis.

Description: SCP-X is a nine-year-old human male with Klinefelter syndrome, Kaspar Hauser syndrome, and a ventricular septal defect. SCP-X’s stunted language skills1 and distinctive toddling gait are believed to be a result of severe social and emotional deprivation from an early age. SCP-X also exhibits heliophobia and hydrophobia, likely as a result of childhood trauma.

SCP-X has the ability to alter matter with little regard for physical laws, causality or logic. The potential magnitude of this capability is unknown. For what is believed to be psychological reasons, SCP-X displays diminished anomalous capacity while in a contented or fearful emotional state and while within the confines of Sat-Site 14. If either of these conditions are not met (ie., SCP-X is in an angered or excited emotional state, or has left its containment cell in the basement of Sat-Site 14), SCP-X will begin to express its anomalous traits. If neither of these conditions are met, SCP-X's breach of containment should be considered a potential CK-class reality restructuring event, as at this time the Foundation does not possess sufficient data to predict its capabilities or likely course of action in this scenario.

To date, SCP-X has been observed to:

  • Manifest and attempt to consume approximately 20 kilograms of La Perruche brand individually-wrapped sugar cubes.
  • Inflict fatal physical harm on Foundation personnel by anomalous means. Injuries bear a cosmetic resemblance to necrosis spreading at a medically impossible rate.
  • Translocate instantaneously. To date, SCP-X has not displayed any ability or willingness to teleport outside the confines of Sat-Site 14.
  • Manifest heat and flames measured at 600°C. Flames created by SCP-X have never been observed to consume fuel or otherwise affect the objects around them. Despite palpable heat, they inflict no damage on human tissue.
  • In one recorded incident, SCP-X emitted a stream of liquid at an estimated pressure of 800 kPa and temperature of -200°C. The liquid poured from SCP-X’s orifices for fifteen minutes, causing SCP-X apparent distress. Unlike the anomalous flames and heat generated by SCP-X, the extreme cold of this liquid did affect human tissue as expected, inflicting nerve damage after 5 minutes of continuous exposure. After the liquid warmed to room temperature, it became indistinguishable from normal water; how it was able to maintain a liquid state at -200°C is not presently understood.

SCP-X's anomalous capabilities are not believed to be restricted to the phenomena listed above. Opportunities to observe SCP-X's reality-restructuring capacity have been limited to two breach events since Foundation custody commenced, and to the circumstances of SCP-X's initial containment.

Recovery Details: SCP-X was brought to Foundation attention by assets embedded in the New York State Office of Child and Family Services (OCFS), who were investigating SCP-X’s living conditions after neighbors reported a "yelping boy" being kept in a basement for religious or occult purposes. The Foundation first attempted to seize SCP-X covertly via Foundation operatives posing as OCFS officials working in tandem with local law enforcement. During the investigation, an individual believed to be SCP-X’s father (hereafter designated Person of Interest-X01) detonated several homemade incendiary devices. Local law enforcement disengaged and Mobile Task Force Psi-7 (“Home Improvement”) took command under standard cover protocol "Federal Agents." MTF Psi-7 agents entered the burning residence and encountered SCP-X displaying its anomalous properties. MTF Psi-7 suffered █ casualties but managed to contain SCP-X. PoI-X01 died from smoke inhalation prior to Psi-7’s breach of the residence2.

In the aftermath, the City of Rochester Fire Department extinguished the fire, and the damaged residence was acquired via a Foundation shell company. Containment personnel posing as contractors repaired the damage caused by the fire and enacted SCP-X’s current special containment procedures.
