There may be "@tk@" throughout the doc. These are things I know I don't know and need to fill in. I would expressly like help with these items. I would prefer to resolve these first, before any thematic wording. Filling in the data will result in wording changes which will change the feel anyways, so I may as well do the 'look and feel' pass last.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is an incomplete knit sweater with loose yarn at the cuffs, collar, and bottom hem. It's held in an electrically-driven 100 liter tumbler to maximize the amount of time SCP-XXXX spends mid-air as contact with surfaces enables SCP-XXXX to erode them into a format it can metabolize and use to propagate itself. A suitably resilient material to contain SCP-XXXX has not been identified as of yet.
If SCP-XXXX must be removed from its tumbler, such as for parts replacement or a cull of its growth, the process should be completed before other tasks in order to limit its ability to gain material. Replacements and culls are to be managed by personnel with Level 2/XXXX clearance or higher. Safety gear must include full-body disposable biohazard suits of at least 5mm thickness. The suit is not required to be airtight or watertight, however no handler skin should be exposed. The bio-hazard suits' visors should be blue-tinted to block its mesmerization effect, which is stronger for humans when the anomaly presents orange-spectrum yarn.
Culled remnants of SCP-XXXX must be sent to a plasma gasification incinerator for destruction if the materials are not allocated to research. Culled pieces intended for research must be moved to a secondary lab tumbler within an hour. Research must be completed within one week, and the remnants sent to plasma gasification for destruction.
Given the mesmerization & sympathetic cognitohazard, two Security Officers must be present for any interactions with any sample of SCP-XXXX. Any personnel who handled SCP-XXXX must be fully searched for samples, including a 72-hour quarantine to check stool samples.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a slow-conversion ecophage that vibrates at a rapid rate to break substances into separate molecules, which it then consumes, expanding itself.
It was originally harvested in █████████, Norway. An anomaly of indeterminate type was reported by local police after losing some staff on a missing persons search for a transient person in a municipal landfill. The Mobile Task Force encountered SCP-XXXX at a volume of ████ cubic meters from a presumed ██ days of growth, with mixed colorations corresponding to ██ sentients and █ sapients having been consumed. Consumed sentients included █ ████, █ ████, and ██ █████. Consumed sapients included █ ██████, presumed to be the two missing ████████ and the missing █████████.
One cubic meter of SCP-XXXX can convert one cubic meter of wear-resistant cobalt alloy into an equal volume of self-growth over roughly eight days. One cubic meter of already powdered material (fine sand equivalent, Krumbein Phi of 4) can be converted in roughly two hours, regardless of hardness. The mechanisms that produce the vibrations and facilitate absorption have not been identified. These are secondary and tertiary investigation concerns after the priority of testing to determine origin or creator.
SCP-XXXX carries a congitohazard of mild mesmerization which enhances the onlooker's sympathy to the anomaly, inducing the subject to wish to hold it, embrace it, wear it, other otherwise be in contact with it. This puts the victim at risk of being consumed by SCP-XXXX and converted into yarn and additional growth of the anomaly. The color of new growth depends on the material consumed. When a sentient or sapient being is consumed, the corresponding section becomes more strongly mesmerizing to other sentients depending on their taxonomic similarity.
Sentients will become violent if handlers attempt to separate them from SCP-XXXX. A similar taxonomy-based mesmerization effect has been observed with sapients; however they will peacefully separate themselves from SCP-XXXX if firmly instructed to do so with a threat of tangible consequences if they do not comply.
Despite the 'potential' of SCP-XXXX attaining Thaumiel classification 'with sufficient study', the O5 Council has opted to pre-empt all interaction with other anomalous entities. The O5 Council would like to remind researchers that:
"Were the Grey Goo Yarn sentient it would be a Keter, so stop treating it like a cute fuzzy toy. Our mission isn't destruction, we aren't going to blow budget letting it eat lab tools to see if it can eat other entities. We want to keep those entities. And, even in the case of breach containment, it acts too slowly to assist us anyways.
Given the original collection point, we're taking the position that SCP-XXXX was a failed iteration discarded by someone who doesn't know how to be careful what they wish for or how to deal with it when they don't get it. There's a risk of more iterations. We want those iterations. We don't know if this was a first pass by Li' Ol' Granny Voodoo trying to make a sweater everyone loves that makes more sweaters which everyone loves, or if it was a failed murder tool that doesn't leave a corpse but wasn't strong enough.
If you want to keep dicking around with your 'pure sciences' crap, get me those other iterations, get me the creator, and you get your fiddly-bits budget. Seriously, I'm halfway to sending you for a psyche eval and sending an MTF team to house to root through your garbage for shredded documents. Fixating on anomaly destruction is GOC playbook." - Director █████, meeting with Dr. █████, ██/██/██13.
Test proposals submitted with the intent to prompt an interaction between SCP-XXXX and any other anomalous entity will be considered an equal breach of protocol as though the test had been run.

Any proposals in this regard will be automatically declined. The O5 Council would like to remind researchers that; the congitohazard could be unexpectedly enhanced by using another anomaly, the SCP mandate is the opposite of destruction, and a net made of SCP-XXXX would be too slow-acting to contain any other anomaly to begin with.
