A tattoo from SCP: XXXX-1, previously ████████ █████.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Any NEW instances of SCP-XXXX and affected areas are to be fenced off and guarded by MTF units. SCP XXXX-1 instances are highly aggressive and are to be shot on sight. If unauthorized personnel inquire about SCP XXXX, they are to be told that the area is used for a maximum security prison. Anyone attempting to force entry to SCP XXXX is to be immediately incapacitated.

3, 5 meter tall high security CFATS1 fences should be erected 185 meters away from SCP-XXXX with the middle fence being electrified and the innermost and outermost reinforced with barbed wire, the outermost and innermost fences should be topped with floodlights. Guards are to wear standard military body armor while standard Foundation personnel are to wear an anti-stab vests. No less than 20 guards are to patrol the outer perimeter 24/7, 5 other guards are to protect the entry gates, guards are to switch out every 16 hours for rest and rec. Any personnel with self mutilation or tattoos matching those of SCP XXXX-1 are to executed. All SCP-XXXX-1 that come within 25 meters of the fences are to be shot on sight, at no time is anyone permitted to enter the encompassed land to chase SCP-XXXX-1. Standard Foundation personnel barracks are to be constructed no less that 50 meters away from the fences while guard barracks should be 15 meters away from the perimeter fence. All site personnel should total 50 guards, 60 standard personnel and 20 non-essential personnel and 3 site directors. There are to be no manned expeditions into affected areas.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an analomy that manifests in Mexico, always centered around some form of Aztec ruins. SCP-XXXX always manifests as an orb of fire, little is actually known about SCP-XXXX's exact dimensions because of its volatile nature. Once manifested SCP-XXXX will shortly begin to emit a mind affecting radio wave constantly about its origin. Initial tests confirm that the radio waves only carry 170 meters out but usually fluctuate about 5 meters. All humans caught within SCP-XXXX's influence are to be deemed SCP-XXXX-1 even if they do not exhibit any symptoms, however not all humans are actually changed, about 40% of the affected population will remain normal humans, however they are almost always captured or detained by SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 are led to believe that they are aztecs, they make up new names and assume new personalities. Within 24 hours of exposure SCP-XXXX-1 individuals will begin to construct Aztec step pyramids under SCP-XXXX, with SCP-XXXX at the top and after that they will attempt to deconstruct manmade structures, using the resources to build other smaller temples.

Currently there are 3 active SCP-XXXX phenomenon's, named, Tonali, Trecena and Acatl. Only Site-Tonali's population is growing, Trecena's and Acatl's populations are falling fairly rapidly. Site-Acatl has only a population of 650 individuals, and curiously enough SCP-XXXX is extremely small, Site-Acatl's population is regularly committing mass sacrifices, numbering 20-30 individuals being sacrificed per day most likely to keep SCP-XXXX alive. It is theorized that if sacrifices cease the residential SCP-XXXX will burn out, however it is still unknown how to stop new SCP-XXXX's from appearing.

If we want to kill them so bad why cant we douse them in flame retardant? As far as we know its made of fire and it killing at least 2 of them would solve so many cost issues. Leave one site alive to study it but there is no sense in needlessly wasting funds on these things.

Addendum: Recent tests with probes has revealed a strong EMP signal emanating approximately 94 meters out from SCP-XXXX. The pulse is an extremely powerful double exponential pulse, it went unnoticed by the Foundation because imaging drones typically fly 18288 meters in the air, much higher that the EMP wave. The initial probe was damaged to extensively for its motors to respond, and further tests with more resistant probes shows that the EMP wave becomes incredibly strong 60 meters in, to the point where humans should by instantly fried. Images of SCP-XXXX are extremely distorted when up close, and drones only provide images of a flaming orb. Requests for low flying imaging drones are pending 05 approval.
