Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 are to be kept together in a cylindrical chamber at Site 19. The chamber is to have a diameter of 8 meters and a height of 18 meters. The walls are to be waterproofed and designed to withstand SCP-XXXX-1's pressure, and the chamber is to remain airtight via an airlock. SCP-XXXX-1 is to be given a drawing done by a volunteer staff member currently assigned to SCP-XXXX once every two months. The drawing must depict a Rhinecanthus rectangulus (Reef Triggerfish) or other member of the order Tetraodontiformes and be signed with the name "Lucy" in the bottom-right corner in order to satisfy SCP-XXXX-1's needs. In the scenario that SCP-XXXX-1 rejects the drawing, SCP-XXXX-1 is to be given an object that once belonged to PoI-XXXX. All of PoI-XXXX's material possessions are kept in storage locker-XXXX at Site 19, and a copy of the key to storage locker-XXXX is to be given to all level 2 security personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX.
After a Boiling Event occurs and SCP-XXXX-1 has fully absorbed the object that concluded the Boiling Event, SCP-XXXX-2 is to be removed from the chamber into a connecting holding chamber of similar dimensions by two D-Class personnel. Janitorial staff must then drain the chamber of non-anomalous water.
As of ██/█/2010, there are 63 individual objects left in storage locker-XXXX. Please refer to Dr. Orwin for a full inventory of objects in storage locker-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is an amorphous entity that is made of a solution of water and protein-based hormones that closely resembles the chemical make-up of human emotional tears. SCP-XXXX-1 often takes a humanoid shape, although the object has been observed taking various other forms. SCP-XXXX-1 is sapient, and is capable of speech by vibrating the liquid that forms it's body. SCP-XXXX-1 is fluent in English, and often talks in the third person, referring to itself as "Guppy".
SCP-XXXX-1 has a strong desire to collect objects that it deems of having importance. In order for an object to be satisfactory, it must fulfill at least one of the requirements in the list below. SCP-XXXX-1 will not always accept an object if it only fulfills one preferred trait, but an object that fulfill multiple requirements will usually be accepted by SCP-XXXX-1. The following list has been organized by least favored to most favored traits by SCP-XXXX-1:
- The object must depict an animal from the order Tetraodontiformes.
- The object must be an oil-on-canvas painting with aquatic themes present in the piece.
- The object must be made of at least of 3 Kilograms of limestone and must have been sculpted with "intention" by a human.
- The object must be signed with the name "Lucy" somewhere on the object.
- The object must have been owned or made by PoI-XXXX (Lucy ██████). People that were friends or blood relatives of PoI-XXXX are also acceptable objects.
Once SCP-XXXX-1 obtains an object that it finds acceptable, it will absorb the object into itself and begin vibrating slowly, constantly emitting a low rumbling noise. The object will then begin to dissolve over the course of the next 2 to 8 hours. SCP-XXXX-1 becomes extremely docile for 1~2 weeks once it completes this process, and will be significantly easier to contain.
If SCP-XXXX-1 has not absorbed a suitable object in roughly 2~3 months since it's last absorption, it will begin to slowly increase in temperature over the course of the next 24 hours. (This event is commonly referred to as a Boiling Event by researchers and guards assigned to SCP-XXXX. This scenario will be referred to as a Boiling Event from here on out for simplicity). Additionally, it's temperament will become increasingly hostile towards human life, and SCP-XXXX-1 will begin to be unable to vocalize clearly. Once it reaches it's boiling point (roughly 100°C), SCP-XXXX-1 will become a cloud of vapor and will try to locate a suitable object for absorption. Once an object that is acceptable is located by SCP-XXXX-1, it will cool down rapidly and condense near the object to begin the absorption process.
SCP-XXXX-2 is a limestone fountain measuring roughly 2 meters in height and 1 meter in width and length. It is currently in disrepair, as several parts of SCP-XXXX-2 have broken off, including the basin at the base of the fountain and part of the spout. SCP-XXXX-2 is capable of producing the solution that SPC-XXXX-1 is made of, but will only do so if SCP-XXXX-1's volume ever falls below 200 meters³ or during a Boiling Event. SCP-XXXX-2 will always remain submersed inside SCP-XXXX-1 while it is docile. When it is removed from SCP-XXXX-1, the water that formed SCP-XXXX-1 will become non anomalous and SCP-XXXX-2 will begin to create a new instance of SCP-XXXX-1. If SCP-XXXX-1 was absorbing an object when SCP-XXXX-2 was forcibly removed from it's body, a Boiling Event will begin immediately.
When SCP-XXXX-1 starts a Boiling Event, SCP-XXXX-2 will continuously create the solution that makes up SCP-XXXX-1 until the Boiling Event concludes, causing SCP-XXXX-1 to grow in volume rapidly. It is unknown if there is a limit to how much liquid SCP-XXXX-2 can create. To date, the largest volume SCP-XXXX-1 has reached during a Boiling Event has been estimated to be around 850 meters³. When SCP-XXXX-1 changes into a gaseous state, SCP-XXXX-2 will begin to create steam to continue adding to SCP-XXXX-1's mass.
Once SCP-XXXX-1 finds a suitable object and exits it's agitated state, most of the mass that was produced by SCP-XXXX-2 during the Boiling Event becomes inert and non-anomalous. The exact volume of SCP-XXXX-1 that remains anomalous after exiting the Boiling Event is inconsistent and changes on a case-by-case basis, but on average, 9█% of all mass gained during a Boiling Event is lost when it concludes. Additionally, SCP-XXXX-2 will create around 5 meters³ of it's solution after the Boiling Event and will join back up with SCP-XXXX-1 while it absorbs the object.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Doctor C█████ Orwin
Foreword: SCP-XXXX was recovered after sightings of a "Water Demon" attacking an art show hosted at the ██████ ██████ Art Museum in ██████ ██████, California were reported to local law enforcement. Upon arrival at the scene, SCP-XXXX-1 was absorbing a limestone sculpture of a young woman. The aforementioned sculpture was donated to the museum in 200█ by Lucy ██████. At the point in time that this interview was conducted, SCP-XXXX-1 was undergoing it's initial anomaly screening, and it was still undiscovered that SCP-XXXX-1 was capable of speech.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Orwin: Alright… lets begin this anomaly screening. [Dr. Orwin flips through his clipboard containing details from the recovery log.] "The SCP object was discovered dissolving a limestone statue"… Blah blah blah… [Dr. Orwin sighs.]… well, that's a good enough place to start as any.
SCP-XXXX-1: [SCP-XXXX-1 does not speak. SCP-XXXX-2 floats around as if affected by a current inside of SCP-XXXX-1.]
Dr. Orwin: Hmm… It seems like there is already a… is that a fountain?
SCP-XXXX-1: Guppy thinks science man looks silly!
Dr. Orwin: [Dr. Orwin looks up from his clipboard with a mild look of surprise.] Well. I've seen everything that-
SCP-XXXX-1: Guppy wonders if science man knows where Lucy is.
Dr. Orwin: [Dr. Orwin hesitates before responding.] Who is Lucy?
SCP-XXXX-1: Guppy loves Lucy. Lucy made Guppy. Guppy loves Lucy even if Lucy doesn't love Lucy.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-1 responds to all further questioning by stating that "Guppy loves Lucy." The anomaly screening continues without issue.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Doctor C█████ Orwin
Foreword: The following is a transcription of the first formal interview with SCP-XXXX-1. At the point in time that this interview took place, SCP-XXXX had been contained for 1 month, and had not yet undergone a boiling event in foundation custody. As such, SCP-XXXX's containment chamber was only a total of 300 cubic meters in volume and was not properly accommodated for Boiling Events.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Orwin: Hello SCP-XXXX. I'm going to ask you some questions, is that okay with you?
SCP-XXXX-1: Guppy wants Lucy. Where is Lucy?
Dr. Orwin: I was just about to ask you that myself. In fact, how did this… "Lucy" create you?
SCP-XXXX-1: Lucy shaped Guppy. Guppy was once purposeless. Lucy gave Guppy purpose. [SCP-XXXX-2 floats closer to the surface of SCP-XXXX-1.] Lucy did not like Guppy. Lucy locked Guppy away in the dark. Guppy cried for Lucy. Lucy did not like Lucy's purpose. Lucy's purpose was to make Guppy and others things like Guppy. Guppy cried for Lucy. [SCP-XXXX-1 pauses.]
Dr. Orwin: Please continue, SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-1: [SCP-XXXX-1 continues speaking after another 10 seconds passes.]Guppy broke free of the dark. Guppy is strong. Guppy's tears make Guppy strong. Guppy found Lucy. Guppy told Lucy that even if Lucy didn't love Lucy, Guppy loved Lucy.
Dr. Orwin: hmm… then, how did you arrive at the- [Dr. Orwin is interrupted by SCP-XXXX-1.]
SCP-XXXX-1: Guppy wanted to prove to Lucy that Guppy loved Lucy. Guppy took Lucy down from the rope. Guppy took Lucy in Guppy's arms. Guppy showed Lucy that Guppy loved Lucy. Guppy showed Lucy that Guppy loved what Lucy did, and Guppy loves what Lucy does. Lucy didn't move. Guppy was sad. Guppy is sad. Guppy left Lucy to go and find more of what Lucy does. Guppy will prove that Guppy loves Lucy. Lucy made Guppy. Guppy wants to see Lucy again. Where is Lucy?
Dr. Orwin: I'm sorry, that won't be possible. Thank you for your cooperation in this interview.
SCP-XXXX-1: [Bubbles begin to form inside of SCP-XXXX-1, and it begins to lose composure.] What does science man mean? Guppy can't see Lucy? Where is Lucy? Where is Lucy? Where is [Unintelligible]
<End Log>
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX began to undergo a Boiling Event as soon as the interview concluded. SCP-XXXX broke free of containment after 30 minutes and 57 seconds had passed. Luckily, there were no fatalities as a result of the containment breech, and containment was reestablished quickly due to PoI-XXXX's remaining belongings being tested for anomalous properties in a nearby lab at Site-XX. Site-19 did however suffer massive water damage from the Containment Breach. SCP-XXXX's special containment procedures were revised.
The following is a transcription of the video taken by Agent K████'s chest-mounted camera during the investigation to find and detain PoI-XXXX for questioning regarding SCP-XXXX.
<Begin Investigation Log>
00:00: Agent K████ turns on his camera. Camera shows inside of Agent K████'s squad car. Also with him in the car are Agent Q███████, Agent Ai██, Agent Ac██████, and Agent H████████.
01:03: The squad car arrives at PoI-XXXX's residence. Agents mobilize and begin preparations to enter the establishment.
01:35: Agent Q███████ successfully breaks down the front door. The agents split up to search the area quickly. Agent K████ joins up with Agent H████████ and enters the living room.
02:07: The living room is in disarray. A large body of water is collecting around a smashed coffee table. A potted sunflower is knocked over, and several paintings have holes punched through their canvases. Agent K████ swears upon seeing the wreckage.
02:21: Agent Ai██ calls from the other room. Audio is hard to make out due to Agent K████'s breathing. Agent Ai██'s testimony reveals that he found the door to the basement at that time and that it had a large hole bursting outwards. He was calling to the other Agents to let them know that he was going to investigate the basement- which, besides a quantity of shattered sculptures, had nothing of note inside.
02:45 Agent H████████ enters the kitchen through the doorway on the far wall after following standard safety procedure. Upon entering the kitchen, Agent H████████ swears loudly and then can be heard saying, "I've found her."
03:14 Agent K████ enters the kitchen. The camera focuses on the corpse of PoI-XXXX laying sprawled out on the counter. Agent K████ vomits, blocking the camera's view for the remainder of the footage.
03:36 Agent H████████ makes a sarcastic remark that she was later reprimanded for.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: According to the testimony of the remainder of the Agents at the scene, nothing anomalous was discovered at the residence of PoI-XXXX. In the bedroom closet was a damp rope that had been tied into a noose. The noose had small traces of blood on it that had been identified as belonging to PoI-XXXX, and it had been torn at the "loop". An autopsy performed at a later date concluded that PoI-XXXX died by strangulation. A suicide note was also found at the scene,
and has been transcribed below.
If you're the first to find me, let me just say this.
i'm sorry for you having to see me like this, but i have no regrets.
No one appreciates my artwork. i'm the laughing stock of the community. i've heard what they've said about me, about my work. i mean, just face it. Logically, no one is left to care about me or my shit fucking sculptures.
My whole life- i've tried and tried to actually make something that would make me proud. Make something that i could be happy with. But i can't be content. it makes me feel sick to my bones, i just
Theres always something. When i finish a piece theres always something that makes me hate myself more than the day before. An arm is a bit too long, a fish is a bit too brightly colored, my mistakes just, ring loud and clear and resonate through out me until i feel like throwing up in the bathroom until all that i throwup is BLOOD.
i tried to get back into it, i tried. But no matter what i do i just think of all my hard work getting fucking destroyed and ripped apart. That's why i punched holes through my paintings. That's why i smashed my sculptures in the basement. That's why i decided to kill myself.
Because if my work is going to be torn apart and destroyed, I might as well do it myself.
And im going to be free.
