Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a 4 by 4 meter reinforced glass chamber which is present in the middle of an 8 by 8 meter cell. The glass chamber in question extends up into the ceiling in order to successfully secure and contain SCP-XXXX without any complications. The walls and ceiling of the room are approximately 11.5 cm thick and made out of the metallic alloy, duralumin. In addition, a 3,500-watt spotlight is present in the north-western corner of the cell.

Entering the containment cell requires a Level Clearance of at least 3, as well as at least two agents escorting them throughout their time in SCP-XXXX's containment chamber. D-Level personnel are allowed to enter the cell under the permission of at least three Level B personnel, and to be put under strict surveillance throughout the duration of the visit.

Personnel are instructed to not stare directly into SCP-XXXX's eyes in case of an event similar to [REDACTED] taking place. If not complied with, the test subject is to be terminated as soon as possible; or in the case of higher-class personnel, be escorted out of the facility for at least five months.

In the case of a Level 1 Containment Breach (the glass chamber is destroyed), the spotlight is to be turned on to compel SCP-XXXX towards it. While SCP-XXXX is interested in the spotlight, the room is filled with a sedative, and officers are to enter the cell equipped with gas masks and rebuild the chamber throughout the duration of SCP-XXXX's incapacitated state. SCP-XXXX is to be placed in the chamber once more and be sealed inside. Throughout the procedure, looking into SCP-XXXX's eyes is forbidden, as they do not close, even while sedated.

In the case of a Level 2 Containment Breach (SCP-XXXX escapes from the cell as a whole), a thorough search of the site and a 7 km perimeter search is to be performed with officers and exploration agents stocked with weaponry and amnestics in the case of any eyewitnesses spotting SCP-XXXX and/or the Retrieval Squadron. Once spotted, SCP-XXXX is to be incapacitated, using either sedatives or the supplied weaponry.

Description: SCP-XXXX, nicknamed "Mothman" by the general public, is a humanoid entity, measuring at approximately 2.3 m in height. It has large, bright red eyes and is covered in gray-ish brown fur, with a lack of a head, placing the eyes at the upper abdominal region. In addition, SCP-XXXX seems to be able to generate a small Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP), as reported by [REDACTED]. Although, testing of such an ability has not taken place yet. As of 20/11/16, SCP-XXXX's wings are no longer functional, as they have been severely damaged (see Incident A Report).

SCP-XXXX was originally spotted on the 12th of November, 1966 by five male civilians in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and was continuously reported to the local authorities in the following year. On the 13th of December, 1967, SCP-XXXX was once again seen on top of the Silver Bridge, which then collapsed two days after the incident. SCP-XXXX seems to cause events ranging from minor inconveniences to large-scale destruction once it's eyes are directly looked into.

Amnestics should not be given to citizens of Point Pleasant, as SCP-XXXX has already been wide-spread, and doing so will result in confusion and suspicion on such an anomaly, which in turn might lead to the discovery of Site-███ in ████ ████████ .

AUDIO LOG COMMENCE

Agent Greene: "Alright, it's working."

Agent Phips: "Good. Make sure it's still on every once in a while."

Agent Greene: "Yeah, yeah. Got it."

The agents go quiet and the sound of footsteps remain, the soil crunching beneath their shoes.

Agent Phips: "Do you see it?"

Agent Greene: "Nope. You?"

Agent Phips: "If I did, would I have asked you?"

One of the agents sighs.

Agent Greene: "Why d'ya think they sent just two of us? You'd think that that would be a bit too little for a Euclid like this."

Agent Phips: "Hell if I know. Let's just find this thing and take it back with us."

Agent Greene: "Right."

Agent Phips: "Alright, in we go."

Agent Phips supposedly slides down a slope, with Agent Greene following suit.

Agent Greene: "This is the place with the explosives, right?"

Agent Phips: "Mhm, stocked & forgotten back during WW2, if I remember right."

Agent Greene: "We should be careful 'round here, in case… y'know, they're still active."

Agent Phips: "I… You're really something."

Agent Greene: "Buzz off."

Three minutes and fourteen seconds pass without any words being exchanged.

Agent Greene: "Maybe it isn't here."

Agent Phips: "Well, if it is, and we get out of here, we're fucked, so…"

Agent Greene: "…You've go-VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

Agent Greene: "RRRRRRRRRRR-po-RRRRRR-uzz-RRRRRRRRRR-is?"

At this point, the audio is inaudible for several minutes, replaced with a buzzing sound, until it finally spikes in volume twice.

Heavy breathing replaces the buzzing sound.

Agent Greene: "Phips!"

Silence.

Agent Greene: "Will! You there?"

Silence.

Minutes pass with Agent Greene calling out for Agent Phips.

Audible footsteps can be heard until the audio cuts out.

Agent Greene's Psych Eval

Excerpt from Dr. █████'s Notebook

Agent Greene appears to be affected greatly by his encounter with SCP-XXXX and claimed that his mental state was deteriorating and has been experiencing constant disturbance in his everyday life. Whether SCP-XXXX is to blame for Agent Greene's situation or not, it should still be tested with to determine and confirm Agent Greene's claims nonetheless.

Below this sentence is an excerpt from his talk with me that I managed to mostly write down:

"—I just can't do anything without it fucking me over. Nothing's going my way, and everything's going to shit ever since I saw it. This isn't just bad luck, it can't be. It's been happening for over two goddamn months and I'm just sick of it! I just want this nightmare to end. Do you know how hard it is getting up in the morning, knowing you won't be happy today? That you have to expect something horrible happening to you? And that it always does? It's tearing me apart, doc. I don't enjoy things in life anymore, even with that fraction of happiness, a truckload of shit's going to rain down on me in return. You heard what Proctor and Iilma were saying after they got XXXX contained. They're having the same exact thing that's happening to me happening to them. I just don't want to wake up and face the same shit every single day. Help me. Please."

I will discuss letting Agent Greene stay at his residency for the time being with his superiors in order to let him rest. Once he returns, he will be taken in for testing.

SCP-XXXX Testing Log(s)

February 15th, 1968

Testing Log 1

Subject D-3098 is escorted into the cell containing SCP-XXXX by two armed Foundation agents. The cell contained a glass chamber, which held SCP-XXXX inside.

Dr. ██████ instructed D-3098 using the PA Speaker installed in the cell.

"Subject D-3098, please approach SCP-XXXX's containment chamber and alert SCP-XXXX to your presence."

D-3098 looked around and sighed, shakily walking up to SCP-XXXX, placing his hand on the glass and reluctantly tapping on it. "Is that enough?" He asked, looking back at the window which held Dr. ██████ behind it.

SCP-XXXX quickly turned to face D-3098, towering above him.

"Good, now look into its eyes."

D-3098 looked at the window once more before returning his gaze to the glass chamber. He looked upwards into SCP-XXXX's eyes for a minute and twenty five seconds before moving his eyes away from SCP-XXXX.

D-3098 looks back to the window.

"Now what?"

"Now, you go back to your cell. Thank you for your time."

"Seriously? Thank god. Thought I had to go in there with 'im."

D-3098 is then taken back to his cell by the two agents and was closely monitored for the next week.

Within two days, his cell's toilet had overflown and the sink ran out of water. D-3098 has expressed discomfort and has constantly asked to leave his cell.

Five days after the first incident, D-3098 claims that his bed tried to kill him by moving by itself. Further inspection proves that the chains holding the bed up had simply rusted and broke down. D-3098 now refuses to sleep on his supplied bed.

A week and two days have passed since D-3098's initial contact with SCP-XXXX. The ceiling of Subject D-3098's cell had collapsed, crushing D-3098 and killing him almost instantly.

Testing Log 2:

February 19th, 1968

Subject D-4229 was instructed to look at SCP-XXXX's eyes through camera footage for over an hour before returning to his cell. Nothing had happened resembling D-3098's incident within the next two weeks.

Addendum 003:

Incident A: November 20th, 2016

SCP-XXXX: Containment Breach

SCP-XXXX escaped containment at approximately 5:26 PM on 20/11/16, causing the Level 2 Containment Breach Procedures to be executed, shutting down the facility's entrances/exits in case SCP-XXXX aids other SCPs in escaping or is still in the building. All D-Class Subject cells were locked down completely and any D-Class personnel outside of their cells were to be immediately terminated or locked inside their cell if they were closeby. The D-Class personnel that were terminated are as follows:

-Subject D-9569

-Subject D-8103

-Subject D-9372

-Dr. Johnathan Ulcher

Eleven retrieval agents were sent out of the facility to conduct a perimeter search, armed with tranquilizer rifles and three acquired "Rodents Be Gone!" company vehicles.

A complete shakedown and search of the facility revealed that SCP-XXXX was not present in the facility and was indeed in the outside world. All other SCPs stored in Site-██ were checked on and secured.

SCP-XXXX was found flying over Route 2 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where a civilian driving on the aforementioned route had taken a picture of SCP-XXXX, reporting it to a local news station. The civilian in question has been amnesticized, yet the photographs are now wide-spread and incapable of being taken down.

SCP-XXXX was spotted along the treeline nearby Route 2 and was shortly incapacitated and re-contained after reinforcements had arrived. Throughout the firefight, none of the agents triggered SCP-XXXX's effects.

SCP-XXXX's wings have been damaged by Agent Finch, who had secretly taken a handgun from his personal belongings. The handgun has been disassembled and destroyed, and Agent Finch has been demoted to D-Class as punishment.

SCP-XXXX is to be moved into Containment Room #██ to avoid any future incidents.
