SCP Mechanical Kali

SCP-XXXX upon arrival to Site ██.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept at the very back of a 10 x 10 windowless room, situated upon a "throne" made of various rare and precious metals or stones. Speakers placed in the corners of the room are to be playing a looped recording of the "Kali Gayatri", a Hindu prayer, at all times. In the event of a technical malfunction, D-Class personnel tasked with providing offerings are to enter SCP-XXXX's room and recite the "Kali Gayatri", until the issue is resolved, at which point the recording will be continued. Fruits, vegetables, incense, and jewelry are to be placed in the center of the room once every ten hours.

Personnel assigned to the SCP-XXXX's control room are to monitor it at all times. Any movement SCP-XXXX's must be logged, including time of day, offerings in the room, actions of the D-Class worshipper, and a full description of the movement. For this reason, SCP-XXXX's control room must be manned by a minimum of two Foundation employees and one D-Class. The D-Class must remain within SCP-XXXX's unit in order to properly "worship" it, while one of the Foundation employees monitors and records all data, and the other provides quality control for all offerings as well as slipping the approved offerings through a slot in SCP-XXXX's door for the D-Class to present. D-Class used to provide offerings must be changed daily to prevent SCP-XXXX's anomalous cognitive effect from taking hold.

If SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties are triggered, all unauthorized personnel are to clear the sector, and may not return until told to do so by Class B personnel.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a seemingly mechanical humanoid, patterned after the Hindu goddess Kali. SCP-XXXX is a total 152 cm from it's base to the top, and appears to be composed of a substances like marble and iron. SCP-XXXX seems to be run by simple clock-like gears, and multiple clicks can be heard upon its movement. All of SCP-XXXX's arms seem to have full articulation, allowing movement of fingers as well. SCP-XXXX's head and neck parts are also fully capable of movement, though aren't used as often as the arms. Tests on SCP-XXXX have been unable to provide an understanding as to the nature of SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties. SCP-XXXX, from a physical standpoint, appears to be a simple machine, using basic gears and tracks. Attempts to damage SCP-XXXX have provided useless, as it has demonstrated the ability to repair itself faster than damage can be dealt. There have been reports of SCP-XXXX communicating through some form of telepathy, however these claims are unproven, however, prolonged periods of time(greater than 24 hours) spent "worshipping" SCP-XXXX have proven to have an anomalous cognitive effect in which the subject will become obsessed with SCP-XXXX, devoting themselves to serving it, even becoming violent when denied access to SCP-XXXX. Despite precautions to prevent this, it is mandatory that all personnel involved in SCP-XXXX see a Foundation psychologist once a month, on the authority of Dr.███.

SCP-XXXX when "worshipped" remains docile and harmless. D-Class report a feeling of bliss, and fulfillment in it's presence, that increases based on their distance to SCP-XXXX, their level of devotion, and the quality of their offerings. However, when unhappy, SCP-XXXX's hands will simultaneously touch palms, and SCP-XXXX will emit a loud machine-like hum. SCP-XXXX's mouth will open, and large volumes of a sticky, dark, oil-like liquid, referred to as SCP-XXXX-1, will pour out. The process SCP-XXXX uses to create SCP-XXXX-1 is unknown. Approximately 374 gallons of SCP-XXXX-1 will be released, before SCP-XXXX ceases. SCP-XXXX-1 has demonstrated a level of intelligence, and the ability to move. It is unknown whether SCP-XXXX-1 is under the direct control of SCP-XXXX or it's own power. Any living matter that comes in contact with SCP-XXXX-1 begins to decay at an unnatural rate, leaving behind any skeletal system it may have. Said skeletal system will be covered by the SCP-XXXX-1 and made to form a black figure with features identical to that of the prior matter, but made of SCP-XXXX-1. These figures, known as SCP-XXXX-F1, become instantly hostile. This process is known as "SCP-XXXX Infection". SCP-XXXX-F1's are to be terminated immediately, as contact with it causes SCP-XXXX infection. SCP-XXXX-F1's are extremely protective of SCP-XXXX, and are hostile to anything else. When it's agitated state remains for longer than 10 minutes, SCP-XXXX-1 will pool around SCP-XXXX, and slowly begin to cover it, forming legs and a fleshlike outer layer over it's body. This will grant SCP-XXXX greater movement, such as walking, running, and other forms of bipedal motion. SCP-XXXX-1 will also form scimitar like weapons for SCP-XXXX to wield. Contact with these would result in a case SCP-XXXX Infection. During this state, until made docile, SCP-XXXX is extremely aggressive, and will attack any living thing it encounters, all while attempting to breach containment. In the event of a containment breach, all speakers on Site ███ are to play the "Kali Gayatri" and recovery personnel sent for SCP-XXXX are to chant aloud. Personnel who make physical contact with SCP-XXXX in it's agitated state are to be immediately terminated. Once SCP-XXXX is safely contained and returned to it's docile state, all instances of SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-F1 will seemingly dissolve, leaving no trace.

Tests with SCP-XXXX involving other SCP's require O5 authorization to take place. SCP-XXXX is prohibited from coming in contact with Keter class SCP's based on the threat it would possess if it were to produce an SCP-XXXX-F1 of a Keter level threat.

Discovery Log: On 2/30/██, SCP-XXXX was discovered by Agent ███ in ███, India. Following reports of anomalous activities in ███ Village, upon the mountain ███, the agent was led by locals to a temple. Within the temple, SCP-XXXX was placed upon a throne covered in jewels, with offerings strewn on the ground around it. Despite requests from the locals to lower his head in a show of respect, Agent ███ did not, triggering SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties. Agent ███ was terminated in the resulting incident. Foundation recovery agents were met with resistance from locals during attempts to secure SCP-XXXX. The first three attempts were failures, resulting in a combined total of ██ deaths, as SCP-XXXX demonstrated the full extent of its anomalous properties. SCP-XXXX reacted negatively when harm was done to his worshippers, and whoever had afflicted this harm became the sole target of SCP-XXXX's hostility.

SCP-XXXX was successfully secured by Agent ██, a devout Hindu. In interviews, Agent ██ claimed he simply "prayed" for SCP-XXXX's cooperation. Upon further questioning the agent revealed that SCP-XXXX had spoken to him in a dream, and asked him questions. Agent ██ is unable to recall the exact questions, only claiming that they had to do with the nature of the Foundation, and his worshippers. Two days later, SCP-XXXX appeared within Site ██, and was immediately secured by a recovery team.
