Scp: XXXX
Object class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX are to be contained at Site ██ in a standard containment cell. As off containment breach on ██/██/████, SCP-XXXX are to be contained at Site ██, in a telepathy proof containment unit. [Not completely sure about room specifications, I'd appreciate any feedback or ideas you have to offer] The cell will be guarded at all times by at least two armed guards. Under no circumstance should any personnel, organism not listed on document XXXX-B, or organic SCP come into contact with SCP-XXXX for any reason. Personnel attempting to come into contact with SCP-XXXX will be immediately detained and terminated and the facilities earliest convenience. No other organic SCPs are to be contained on the same site as SCP-XXXX. Only one swarm of SCP-XXXX should be kept alive at any point in time. All additional swarms contained should be promptly destroyed. Instances should be brought into stasis by chilling the containment cell to -20°. Instances will be awoken once every 72 hours for feeding. Feeding will consist of 50 kilograms of beef. After feeding, instances will be put back into stasis.
The queen will be awoken once every 2 years for reproduction. During reproduction, the queen will be introduced to the most readily available organism listed on document XXXX-B. After the eggs have been implanted into the host, the queen will be brought back into stasis. After the eggs have hatched, the previous generation of SCP-XXXX will be destroyed through means of immersion in chlorine trifluoride. Immediately after the new generation of XXXX have finished feeding on the host organism, they will be brought into stasis. Automated drones will then remove the hosts remains.
Description: As of containment breach on ██/██/████, SCP-XXXX has shown telepathic abilities. This is due to reproducing with SCP-████. After this event, SCP-XXXX has demonstrated the ability to transmit information with approximately █-██ swarms of SCP-XXXX globally. Immediately after reproducing with SCP-████, SCP-XXXX spontaneously mutated approximately ██ desirable traits. It is hypothesized that SCP-XXXX is now capable of transmitting and receiving DNA of desirable traits, and is able to spontaneously mutate its DNA to incorporate said traits. SCP-XXXX must not reproduce with a human being or any organic SCPs under any circumstance. See addendum 1 for more information. As of █/██/████, 6 total swarms have been contained and destroyed. They are all genetically identical to each other.
SCP-XXXX is a species of bee similar to Mutillidae. It travels in swarms, with the queen in the center. The size of the swarm ranges from 100 to 300 instances. SCP-XXXX is extraordinarily resistant to extreme temperatures, and is practically immune to nearly all forms of pesticides. Instances have thick, tough skin that is resistant to flames and acid. Drones vary in size, and can be anywhere between 4-12 centimeters long at adulthood. The queen can be anywhere from 8-16 centimeters long when fully developed. The queens stinger is approximately 3/4ths of its total body length. The drones lack stingers, and instead have powerful jaws that allow it to rapidly consume prey. SCP-XXXX will prey on any organism it comes into contact with, and will eat until all members of the swarm are contented. Instances have been observed eating a fully grown African elephant, and were contented after eating approximately 73% of the elephants body mass.
If a queen is killed or severely maimed, a drone will spontaneously transform into a new queen. The process takes roughly 30-45 seconds. There is no distinct pattern to which drone becomes the new queen, though roughly 62% of the time it is the largest drone in the swarm. The other drones will then surround the old queen and devour her.
SCP-XXXX reproduces through a previously unknown method of reproduction. The queen will sting a host organism, and implant unfertilized eggs into the host. The eggs will then fuse with the DNA of the host, becoming fertile. The eggs will choose desirable traits, and fuse them with their own DNA. It is unknown how eggs fuse with the hosts DNA, or how it chooses desirable traits. After roughly 2 weeks, the eggs will hatch and begin to devour the host from the inside. The offspring will completely devour the host, no matter the size. Traits acquired from hosts are permanently integrated into SCP-XXXX's DNA, as well as the DNA of all offspring. Offspring will mature into adulthood in 2-3 days.
Addendum 1: It should not have to be said why these things mustn't reproduce with humans or other SCPs. If these creatures gained that kind of intelligence or any more anomalous properties, it would be catastrophic.
