Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept at Site-XX in a suite of three rooms (a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom), each containing suitable standard sets of furniture and objects. No body or source of water is to be introduced into either room. In order to observe and monitor the activities of SCP-XXXX, its rooms are to be surveilled by nine (9) cameras. SCP-XXXX will rarely resist containment, and is in a worst case scenario easily restrained by an average security guard.

SCP-XXXX has as of 2012-05-21 been granted permanent access to pencils of different colours, erasers, and paper. Other requests must be reviewed and receive security clearance before being granted.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid male of unknown origin. It is of average build, and appear to be approximately 25-30 years old. From the fourth cervical vertebra down, it is anatomically and biologically identical to a human, including internal organs of which it makes no actual use, such as the respiratory system. Its head consists of a flourescent twin tube lamp, approximately 35 cm long, which connects to the flesh of the neck via a plastic socket. The strength of the light emitted by this tube lamp appears to vary according to the mental state of SCP-XXXX.

It does not require any input of energy or sustenance, its body and organs produce no excretions, and it does not need to sleep. At somewhat regular intervals it will nonetheless lie down on its bed as if to rest, sit by its table as if for a meal, or close the bathroom door on itself as if to achieve some nominal privacy.

It is incapable of verbal communication, but usually seems to register and commonly responds to visual and auditory stimuli. It is likewise incapable of reading or writing, despite several attempts to teach it a number of different languages and scripts, including Braille and various sign languages. At irregular intervals it will attempt to communicates by producing simple drawings, commonly expressing different requests (See File XXXX-P). Through a combination of verbal communication, gestures, and pictorial material, basic messages may be conveyed to it, but it has not been possible to determine to what extent it actually understands human speech, if at all. At times it will try to respond, via gestures or drawings, to sentences spoken in its presence. In other instances, however, its body language will be more limited than usual.

While the previously mentioned characteristics prohibit a full understanding of SCP-XXXX's psychological profile, it appears timid in nature. Despite some initial anxiety upon containment, it seems to have not only accepted its situation but also to have grown to appreciate the company of researchers and test subjects. When left alone for a prolonged amount of time, SCP-XXXX can be observed pacing through its rooms, or lying on top of its bed with its hands on its stomach and its "face" turned towards the ceiling. Other times it will appear to observe the lamps in the apartment, or it will stand motionless in front of a wall on which it has drawn a window looking out on a crude landscape.
