L0kifyre First try Anomalous Location

Item number: SCP-xxxx

Category: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: A 1km radius around scp-xxxx is to be kept at all times under the guise of wetland preservation. Any and all satellite images of scp-xxxx are to be wiped and replaced with images of sand and herons. Only D-Class prisoners guided by a Level-4 researcher may step onto the sand of the beach. Under no circumstance may a researcher touch an anchor. If an instance of SCP-xxxx-1 were to appear, staff are to reel in the subject and contain them in a sound resistant 3x3x3m human cell, and terminated upon reaching stage 3. Any trespassers are to be issued an amnesthic and guided away from the site.

Description: scp-xxxx is a white sand beach located in ███████, Oregon, covered in 52 anchors of sizes varying from 30 pounds to 2 tons. When removed from the beach, the anchors show no anomalous effects, other than dissipating and rematerializing on the beach where it was removed. When a human male steps on the beach, the sand turns black below their feet. This only happens with men, and it is unknown what effect this has as no observation has shown any issues with the coloration. Once on the sand, the subject can’t leave. They gradually become compelled to touch one of the anchors. Touching an anchor causes the subject’s skin to [REDACTED] ultimately removing all outer tissue. Once the subject’s muscles and organs are revealed, it may leave the beach. It should be noted that their muscles are a darker hue, and seem to replace the skin as protection. Over the course of 7 days, the subject undergoes a secondary transformation.

Phase 1: Subject becomes irritable to any situation, even polite conversation. This makes interviews nearly impossible. Psychological evaluation underway, but with no results.

Phase 2: Subject begins growing scales over now stone toughened muscle, causing it to scream in agony. Not even opiates and anesthesia work on the subjects, so earplugs are to be given to each member on site.

Phase 3: By far the most agonizing and important phase in the cycle of scp-xxxx. No subject should reach this stage unless approved by O-5 or higher. Subject’s bone structure changes to resemble an anthropomorphic rendition of Amblyrhynchus cristatus.

Phase 4: [REDACTED]

Only one case of scp-xxxx-1 has made it past phase 4 alive, and to ensure that it doesn’t happen again, no subject will be allowed to reach phase 3. For archiving purposes, this description is permitted: After surviving phase 4, the subject gains large amounts of stony muscle mass, and grows to 3.5 meters tall. At this time, there is discussion for reclassification to Keter. This “Alpha” commands the phase 3 subjects to kidnap any personnel in a 40km radius and force them onto the anchors, as a means of replication. It was stopped before leaving the compound by 12 guards, armed with .500 Magnum rounds and Bear Mace.

SCP-xxxx was found by accident in a recovery mission for scp-███. The research team stumbled upon shed scale coats the size of humans, and charred reptilian remains.
