Item # : SCP-XXXX

Codename : Mimic

Object class : Euclid Keter

Special containment procedures:

SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a 2x2x2 m room with 2cm glass wall and a 4cm steel outside coating in Site-114

The room should be filled with liquid mercury (Hg) and is to be kept at a constant temperature of 25°C to maintain the liquid state of the mercury.

Two armed guards are to guard the entrence

Five armed guards are to be constantly near the containment cell, three guarding the southern, eastern and western wall respectivly and 2 guarding the entrence.

Nobody is to interact with the object without having all skin completly covered and wearing equipment that has been recently submerged in mercury (this should be done at intervals of 10 minutes).

In the event of a transformation, SCP-XXXX is to be sprayed with liquid mercury and immediatly transported in a container filled with liquid mercury back in the containment chamber.

Description:

SCP-XXXX is an object of unknown state or form, resembeling a 1x1x1 m silver cube when in a passive non-animate state. It enters this state when in contact with liquid mercury with which it doesn't interact chemically or in any anoumalous way. This SCP has the ability to mimic the form and all properties of any object it comes into contact with, while keeping its ability to transform into other objects. It can move even as an usually nonanimate object. It appears that it has a preference for things with a higher amount of intelligence, however more tests are required.

Addendum XXXX-A :

No more experiments are to carried out on SCP-XXXX, until further notice, to prevent a containment breach, a LV class "Lifted Veil" scenario and possibly even a SK class Dominance Shift scenario.

Addendum XXXX-B :

This addendum was created following the events of the containment breach on the date of ■ - ■ - 2017.

During the containment breach of SCP-3199, one instance of this Scp managed to reach the southern wall of SCP-XXXX's containment chamber, and punched a hole in the wall, allowing the mercury to leak out. SCP-XXXX exited the chamber through the hole and, after touching the instance of SCP-3199, turned into an identical copy of this scp. During the recontainment of SCP-3199, SCP-XXXX was discovered after a member of the on-site security personnel accidently touched it. SCP-XXXX turned into a copy of said security personnel and attempted to attack him, but was quickly aprehended. While being transported to the nearest sorce of liquid mercury on site, SCP-XXXX started yelling. A transcript of what he was yelling can be found in Transcript XXXX-01.
