NinjaJab (2nd SCP) "Puppet Master"

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a large wooden room, coated with reinforced metal on the outside of it's containment. The containment chamber must be approximately 3.65 meters (12 feet) across, and 3.65 meters in length. A large reinforced one way window must be placed at the end of the room, directly across from the stage that is to be placed at the other side of the room. The stage is to have red curtains and is to have a backstage. The total length of the stage should be approximately 9.14 meters (30 feet) from the apron to the backstage, about 3 meters (10 feet) across, and is to be around 10.36 meters (34 feet) high. The extra space in the stage is for SCP-XXXX to store it's puppet collection, and so if the scene in question has many characters, it will have enough space to continue the play. The entrance to the room must be a double door, the interior of the doors, containing four (4) retractable flamethrowers to weaken SCP-XXXX.

To make sure SCP-XXXX is not to escape, ██ Class-D are to be placed into SCP-XXXX's containment to make a play, every 2 months, or if SCP-XXXX is agitated.

If SCP-XXXX or SCP-XXXX-2 is to escape containment, the flamethrowers within the doorway of SCP-XXXX's chamber are to extend and be activated, if these are not effective, a music box is to be broadcast throughout SCP-XXXX's containment chamber, and an MTF Squad equipped with higher power flame throwers are to be dispatched to SCP-XXXX's current location.

Every autumn, when SCP-XXXX, isn't active, it's puppet collection is to be destroyed with high powered flamethrowers in a secure location.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a large wooden marionette measuring approximately 1.67 meters (5,6 feet) in height and around 0.3 meters (1 foot) in width. It has a basic face with 2 two small dots for eyes and a small rickety mouth capable of opening and closing. SCP-XXXX has a blue tuxedo painted on its torso and a small black top hat with a blue stripe, placed on its head.
SCP-XXXX seems to move like a normal puppet, having casual jittery movements, and when moving at fast speeds, seemingly thrown like a rag doll as if someone was operating SCP-XXXX with strings.

SCP-XXXX is extremely hostile to all sources of biological life, and only being able to be fully stopped with soothing music, usually from a music box. But, when enraged enough, the music can still have no effect. SCP-XXXX also has superhuman strength, and can easily bash in heavily armored helmets/metals if enraged enough, and breaking an opponents windpipe is no problem. The superhuman strength also plays into the fact that SCP-XXXX is immensely durable, and can withstand heavy artillery bullets and high electrical concentrations. Explosives do in fact do some damage, while a concentrated fire attack is much better at weakening it. If fire attacks are used too often though, SCP-XXXX will grow immune for a period of time, and become extra agitated, so it is heavily advised against that. SCP-XXXX is also extremely fast, seemingly flying towards its victims with its thrown fashion. Its speeds have been measured around 96 kilometers (60 MPH) for it's basic fastest speed, but in some occasions faster.

For some reason, around the time of Autumn, SCP-XXXX seemingly shuts down, not moving or interacting, unless attacked. Trying to move SCP-XXXX to another area of the world where it is not Autumn has not changed the effect or state of SCP-XXXX. Theories that it seemingly has some sort of mechanism to stop it during this time period are popular among staff.

SCP-XXXX has been shown to be able to "resurrect" its victims, transforming them into significantly weaker versions of itself. These beings, further known as SCP-XXXX-2, SCP-XXXX-3, SCP-XXXX-4, and SCP-XXXX-5. They are all about 1.6 meters (5,3 feet) tall, and have small red bow ties on, SCP-XXXX-2 is a simple marionette with no distinguishing features, looking almost exactly the same to a normal marionette, these are from civilians, or Class-D cadavers. SCP-XXXX-3 is a marionette that is from a researcher, or doctors corpse, and are usually equipped with some rounded glasses, a lab coat, and sometimes even a clipboard. SCP-XXXX-4 is a puppet from a guard or MTF's body, equipped with a black body color, a felt vest, and a plastic helmet, rarely coming with a fake wooden gun, resembling a P90, like that equipped to a guard or MTF. SCP-XXXX-5 is a rare puppet version, that does not correlate to any one type of corpse, it is instead a complete copy of SCP-XXXX's body. It is unknown what the chance, or what effects this change to occur, but it is usually output, when talking about an SCP-XXXX breach, or something else surrounding SCP-XXXX. To create a case of SCP-XXXX-2 through 5, SCP-XXXX surrounds the dead victim's body with an orange aura, quickly turning them into wood. This process's speed varies based on the victims state right before death, and is always followed with a quick flash, usually temporarily blinding those who view it. After transforming the victim into SCP-XXXX-2, it will continue it's spree, as SCP-XXXX-2 through 5 will rise up, and try to incapacitate others in its vicinity. It is significantly weaker, and simple machine gun bullets and fire, can easily destroy them.

After collecting enough victims, SCP-XXXX goes to its play and uses the SCP-XXXX-2 to create a play, the puppets somehow exactly mimicking the victims voice. The plays seen are usually quite entertaining and boost staff morale significantly when watching, it also has the upside, of sometimes being able to predict future events, predicting █ containment breaches, and ██ staff deaths. From now on the plays are treated with utmost importance, and are to be viewed, by every staff working with SCP-XXXX when going on. After the play is finished, SCP-XXXX will either destroy the puppets of the play, or store them in his cell for future plays, staff that have previously known the victim/victims always seem to forget that these cases of SCP-XXXX-2 through 5 are, in fact, transformed personnel of the facility, or a close friend to them. In fact, they never seem distressed that their acquaintance is gone, some people even "talking" to them. Further testing will be required to figure out, how and why, this works.
