Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Apollyon? Thaumiel? Who knows.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained at Area-02 in a windowless 7mx7mx7m chamber comprised of Vantablack carbon nano-tubing, coated in no less than 3 cm of cadmium. Weekly checks for any cracks or holes in this coating are mandatory. No video surveillance or optical tools of any kind are allowed in SCP-XXXX's containment chamber.

In the event of a containment breach, a full-site lockdown must be initiated, and all non-essential lighting fixtures must be extinguished until SCP-XXXX has been recontained to ensure that SCP-XXXX can be located quickly. In the event of encountering SCP-XXXX outside its containment cell, all personnel must ensure they maintain a distance of at least 6m from SCP-XXXX at all times. Violence is not to be used against SCP-XXXX under any circumstances.

A maximum of fourteen personnel are to be assigned to SCP-XXXX at a given time, at least four of whom must be assigned to communicating with SCP-XXXX. Following Incident SCP-XXXX-1, personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX must be rotated biweekly. Personnel of an observant religious persuasion are forbidden from assignment to SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a sapient humanoid entity, featuring a number of avian-esque wing-like appendages. An accurate count for these appendages has never been established. Limited X-Ray observation of SCP-XXXX revealed these appendages contain a bone structure most similar to that of Streptopelia decaocto. These wings veil SCP-XXXX's entire body, withthe exception of its arms and feet, which remain permanently uncovered. A number of these wings have been directly observed to be emerging from the shoulders, back and temples of the entity. SCP-XXXX is also covered with what appear to be human eyes.

SCP-XXXX emits an intense orange macroscopic electromagnetic field, producing light measuring more than 100,000lm of luminous flux. SCP-XXXX's light field exhibits destructive properties, causing degradation of all forms of solid matter, at the rate which depends on the strength of the material in question. Use of standard metals and alloys such as titanium or steel are effective in withstanding SCP-XXXX's, but are by no means completely invulnerable to its effects. The use of Vantablack brand carbon nano-tubing seems to be capable of containing SCP-XXXX, thanks in part to both its strength and proficiency in absorbing light. The brightness of SCP-XXXX's emission makes it impossible to directly observe SCP-XXXX through any medium for a prolonged amount of time, and causes blindness in cases of direct human observation. The use of anti-reflective coating to photograph SCP-XXXX does little to obviate this issue.

SCP-XXXX exhibits the ability to influence physical systems without the need for physical interaction, once demonstrated by SCP-XXXX disassembling an M1 Abrams Tank from a distance of more than 50m.

Despite the minatory nature of its abilities, SCP-XXXX is ordinarily quite restrained and will only attack or actively harm living beings if provoked or presented with what it considers to be a considerable danger.

SCP-XXXX has shown to also possess the ability to change size and appearance at will. While currently standing at a height of five meters, SCP-XXXX reached a height of approximately 1690km during recovery from [REDACTED].

Recovered with SCP-XXXX was a sword, designated SCP-XXXX-1, comprised of a beryllium bronze alloy, which seemed to have 'shrunk' with it during subsequent containment. SCP-XXXX was complacent in relinquishing SCP-XXXX-1 to Foundation researchers following its capture. Inscribed on the hilt of the sword is an inscription written in ██████, translating to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Given the extent of the damage done to Area-02 by uttering this phrase, SCP-XXXX-1 is currently housed in an off-site protected reliquary facility.

Despite the pressing dangers posed by sustained human interaction, SCP-XXXX is amicable and sociable. SCP-XXXX enjoys speaking with people, and seems to have a knowledge of all topics. SCP-XXXX speaks in three distinct voices in unison, belonging to an adult woman, a young child, and an elderly man. Conversations with SCP-XXXX have proven to be informative, researchers have learned various details about other SCP objects (including SCP-███) and history in general.

Pressure sensors inside SCP-XXXX's cell indicates it spends most of the day pacing by the eastern wall, stopping its routine three times each day, once at dawn, once at midday, and once at sunset. During these pauses, SCP-XXXX can be heard chanting, humming, and singing in what sounds to be Aramaic and Tiberian Hebrew. At the end of each week, SCP-XXXX moves to the center of its cell and ceases all movement for approximately 25 hours.

SCP-XXXX is generally content to remain in its containment, as long as it is provided with entertainment in the form of regular conversation. Otherwise, SCP-XXXX will exit its containment cell through unknown means and wander the facility until being recontained. Despite being capable of escaping unassisted, SCP-XXXX often attempts to deceive personnel into releasing it. To date, none of these escape attempts have been successful.

SCP-XXXX is capable of manipulating matter on an atomic scale. Despite the complex nuclear reactions that are needed to execute synthesis, SCP-XXXX's process is capable of essentially ignoring any circumstances that would normally render the completion of chemical reactions impossible. While proficient in the creation of elements and basic compounds, complex structures such as organic molecules seem to confuse SCP-XXXX and deter it from constructing them.

Interview Log XXXX:

+ Interview Log XXXX-1 - Interview Log XXXX-1 Interview conducted after recovery of SCP-XXXX aboard the SCPS Uppsala: <Begin Log> SCP-XXXX: For the waywardness of the thoughtless shall slay them…and the confidence of fools shall destroy them…but whoso hearken unto me shall dwell securely…and shall be quiet without fear of evil. Interviewer: Hello? Can you understand me? SCP-XXXX: Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me…you will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand will save me! Interviewer: What is your name? SCP-XXXX: Yetzirael, m'sharet shel hashalit. I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains… Interviewer: Where are you from? SCP-XXXX: Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight. Interviewer: Please cooperate with me. We need to find out where you came from, so we might be able to figure out how you got here and possibly come up with a way to get you back. SCP-XXXX: Do not lie to me, ish. I am no stranger to your kind's work. You are going to keep me forever. You and I both know this. Interviewer: Fine, I won't lie to you. Yes, you will probably spend the rest of your life in a facility, but it doesn't have to be entirely miserable. We can help you. SCP-XXXX: You cannot help me. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Interviewer: Try me. SCP-XXXX: Lean not on your own understanding. Interviewer: Enough. Where are you from? SCP-XXXX: You persist? Alright, I am from shama…between the folds of time and space and worlds and light and dark, founded upon the mountains as on pillars sunk into the waters of the earth. Interviewer: Where is this "shama"? SCP-XXXX: Where things should not be. No physical contradistinction. For man lives in the night and I come from the day. Outside the limits of what can be perceived. Interviewer: One last question, you've expressed interest in returning to your place of origin. If this is the case, why did you allow us to contain you? SCP-XXXX: I did not recognize your people, at first. Once I realized who you were, it was too late. It's not that bad, I suppose. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out…He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness, but a false witness uttereth deceit. Interviewer: Interesting bravado. So, which are you? He that breatheth forth truth, or the false witness?

SCP-XXXX: Oh. The thoughtless believeth every word…but the prudent man looketh well to his going. <End Log>

Incident XXXX-1: On ██/██/██, Junior Researcher Hersh Litman, having previous worked with SCP-XXXX, reportedly entered a crazed religious mania and breached containment of SCP-XXXX with the use of SCP-████. Following entry to SCP-XXXX's compromised chamber, Litman was evidently vaporized by SCP-XXXX's aura. As the incident progressed, SCP-XXXX repeatedly attempted to flee security teams, resulting in the destruction of a sizable portion of Security Wing C and the deaths of █ personnel. What little remained of recordings made by SCP-XXXX's observation equipment during the incident is transcribed as follows.

SCP-XXXX: Please, keep away from me! Litman: Come ov[DATA LOST] I need to feel you! [scuttling implying Litman is now chasing SCP-XXXX around its damaged chamber] Litman: It's so bright, it's so bright! I [DATA LOST] Why can't I see? SCP-XXXX: Please stay away from m[DATA LOST] I don't want to [DATA LOST] SCP-XXXX: Oh my God!

It was later determined that Litman's particular religious lifestyle lead to his taking offense to the containment of SCP-XXXX, and was the cause of his psychosis. Litman had been removed from his previous assignment to SCP-XXXX for attempting to enter restricted areas within the containment area to more closely access SCP-XXXX and it is assumed he was attempting to achieve this again in order to breach SCP-XXXX.

This incident presents many new concerning situations that could arise should SCP-XXXX have indeed

breached containment completely. It's bad enough dealing with this thing when it leaves on it's own, but now there's the added danger of personnel being driven by obsession to free this thing. It is imperative to be better equipped for a possible Class C containment failure event,

so that SCP-XXXX is at the very least prevented from making contact with a civilian center of any kind. Failure to do so may very well end in a BK-class end-of-the-world scenario. ~ Dr. █████ Stanford
