No more than 2 two Class D personnel are to stand guard a time, as any more units are deemed unnecessary.
Given that this SCP should be Keter, why would guards be used at all? And why would two be enough, if guards were actually useful?
In the event of a breach, SCP-2276 is to be detained before he can get near any female containment area.
This is stupid and creepy (in a bad way, as in, the author is being creepy). Excise this element.
He is to be subdued with extremely luminescent flashlights as solid weapons appear to have no effect. Firearms are only necessary if 2276 goes into his humanoid form.
This is confusing. First, we have firearms not working at all. Then, we have firearms not being "necessary".
SCP-2276 appears to be a canine standing at 130cm at the shoulders and 210cm cm from nose to tail.
What kind of canine? This is a confusing visual, followed up by unnecessary (albeit inoffensive) specific detail.
It's body, if it has one, is covered by tendrils of an unknown, smoke like substance that is thought to originate from what is believed to be it's "body".
This is where your tone really falls apart. "If it has one"? How do they not know? It clearly does have a body. And then there are scare quotes.
(Also, you keep saying "it's" when you mean "its".)
It's eyes are fairly diamond shaped
"Fairly" is bad tone.
2276 is genderless and prefers to be referred to as Trinity, but male pronouns are also somewhat acceptable, although unprofessional.
"Trinity" comes off very silly here; it's an overdramatic name that works very well in settings like The Matrix, but here sounds similar to nothing except decommissioned SCPs like "Duke".
Also, "Trinity" isn't a pronoun. Does the SCP prefer gender-neutral pronouns like "they" or "zie"? Or does it ask for people to use the name "Trinity" as pronouns for it? Or… what?
And the tone here has fallen apart badly; the second half of the sentence is practically from 2276's POV. (It's the one who thinks male pronouns are unprofessional.)
And unnecessary; Foundation personnel are generally expected to refer to an SCP by its preferred pronouns when they are supposed to be interacting with it in a friendly fashion, and at other times, refer to the SCP as "it". There's no need to specially point out this for this SCP.
Rather, for feeding, the creature will calmly sit beside its prey while its tendrils spread out and [REDACTED] its prey.
Not something you should redact — no reason to do so from either a meta perspective (IE, it's not scary, we are inclined to fill in goofy stuff, not scary stuff) or in-universe (there's no reason personnel can't hear how it feeds).
At other times it will only attack livestock by [REDACTED] and consume that.
Ditto.
SCP-2276 appears to only attack humans when provoked, attacked, or when there is a very large number (more than 60) present, due to territory issues.
"Due to territory issues" is another example of bad tone.
As previously stated, 2276 is capable of understanding and speaking any and every known human language, primarily english.
I think you meant that it primarily speaks English. Not that it's primarily capable of understanding and speaking English… unless you did? Clarity issue.
Its voice is ethereal and is said to sound different to every listener, although it is always said to echo within itself.
"is said"? Just say it sounds different, not that it's said to. The rest of this is vague and doesn't make sense.
2276 is also fond of getting its interviewer off track talking about subjects unrelated to the questions being asked. This, combined with its generally calm and happy demeanor, makes it easy to communicate with.
Why would the first part make it easy to communicate with? It actually sounds like it would make it more difficult.
Most interesting, is its ability to shift into a more humanoid and very muscular form reminiscent of the modern description of bipedal werewolf,standing 3.9 meters tall, and still surrounded by its tendrils it had in its quadruped form.
This is the best example of a problem that pops up through this whole SCP. You constantly switch topics in the same paragraph, with no apparent pattern. Here, we were just talking about the SCP's voice for the first part of the paragraph, and suddenly we're talking about it being a werewolf? Why wasn't this put earlier, after you described how the thing's base form looked?
Also, hang on. Why do firearms work on this form, but not the "canine" form?
The stacking on of abilities afterward seem largely to make this SCP into a doofy superhero. But the most problematic section —
2276 has displayed some more, gruesome abilities stated to be its last resort. The details of said abilities are unavailable to any personnel below Level 5 Clearance.
Let's look at Security Clearance Levels.
Level 5 security clearances are given to the highest-ranking administrative personnel within the Foundation and grant effectively unlimited access to all strategic and otherwise sensitive data. Level 5 security clearances are typically only granted to O5 Council members and selected staff.
It's absolutely impossible that the Foundation would classify things Level 5 for being super gross.
It actually is possible for 'classification due to being super gross' to take place, but that would be Level 4 max, and only with other justification. Certainly it wouldn't seem appropriate for what amounts to "a werewolf that people like". (If anything, that's more reason to un-expunge material, so that people know what this thing really is).
If you meant these to be some sort of mass-scale reality alteration that would rock the very core of the Foundation, you're gonna need to put more effort into setting that up.
And also, the tone here is basically taking the SCP's word for everything. More on this in a moment.
The only detail available to lower clearance personnel is that 2276 does not have to see said personnel to have full effect.
Wait, so in other words, you're crippling the containment procedures because it's too gross for people who aren't literally O5 Council's personal staff to know about? How on earth do they contain this thing? At all?
When these powers were accidentally demonstrated, it was decided to move 2276 to Keter, but was soon changed back to Euclid after it was proven it was accidental, and not done out of depraved intent.
If it has Keter-level abilities — IE, it requires massive resources to contain it, or it's impossible to contain it in certain circumstances which cannot be permanently avoided — then it's Keter. It doesn't matter if it's accidental or not. Also, how on earth would they "prove" it was accidental?
Plus, "depraved intent" is bad tone, as well as unnecessary. It reads like the Foundation's internal documentation just wants to defend this thing as Really A Good Person Inside.
Despite being classified as Euclid, 2276 has been allowed to roam Site ██
Why?
There are definitely possible justifications! A few friendly SCPs do have limited 'roaming privileges'. Typically, the criteria for this amounts to:
- There are positive effects from allowing it to interact with general personnel.
- The object is essentially human and is a friendly person.
- The object is friendly to humans and indicated by analysis to be relatively safe.
Whereas with this guy:
- It's absolutely terrifying and disgusting, meaning negative effects would occur if allowed to interact with general personnel.
- It's far from human.
- It's friendly to humans one-on-one, but mass murders them for relatively arbitrary reasons, and is literally one of the most dangerous humanoid objects in Foundation containment.
As with the issue above, this makes this SCP worse than Able, which also went incredibly wrong and is a situation unlikely to be repeated. (He was also only allowed to 'roam' in his several-year-long 'docile' period; this SCP doesn't appear to have 'docile' periods, merely 'circumstances where it might not murderize everyone'.)
On site personnel are warned not to group while 2276 is roaming as it is unknown what will happen if 2276's path is blocked.
How is it 'unknown'? How can this possibly be unknown?
For one, it contradicts the earlier statement that given sufficiently large human groups, 2276 just flips out and kills them. For two, this is incredibly easy to test and incredibly important information to just not know. Especially if they're letting it out of its box. Regularly.
Also, it has been considered to use 2276 in his humanoid form as part of top secret Task Force ██████.
Addressed this above. But frankly, most of my critique here is also a reason that the Foundation would never make use of this anomaly.
