scp-4472 draft 2

Item # : scp-4472

Object class: Euclid

Special containment procedures:

scp-4472 is to be contained in a 10.5m x 10.5m x 10.5m room in site ██ at all times, personnel entering the containment chamber are to be administered type-A amnestic and put under surveillance for a two week period; if personnel which have entered scp-4472´s containment chamber show symptoms regarding scp-4472-A are to be interviewed and terminated following standard protocols following incident scp-4472-17-09 -██.

Description:

scp-4472 is an artisanal Russian balalaika 46cm in length and tuned in E5, E5, A5 in descant style; it is composed of birch wood and tests show it dating back to the 18th century; when a human being enters a 10m radius around scp-4472 it is furtherly referred as scp-4472-A, after an average time of three hours scp-4472-A will show difficulty of speech and erratic movement from this point proceeded a 336 hour period scp-4472-A will stop all activity and move to scp-4472´s current location, it will take possetion of scp-4472 and start moving to ██████ ██ in ███ ███ any attempts of stopping scp-4472-A will result in failure due to no response from

Scp-4472-A if scp-4472-A is neutralized during the carry of the balalaika, scp-4472 will take control of any human entity in a 10m radius and convert it into scp-4472-A.

; If scp-4472 is removed from scp-4472-A without it being terminated the carrier will attack the entity which took scp-4472 without pause until it is in possession of Scp-4472 again;

After a 24 hour cool down of inactivity scp-4472 will take two weeks to possess a new individual it is believed the balalaika takes this time to plan a course of action and a route to

Scp-4472-B

Addendum: incident scp-4472- 17-09-██ log:

one D-class personnel enters scp-4472´s containment chamber at 7:50 AM with no result; D-9776 is further studied during several weeks after the test; during one of the studies D-9776 stops all current behavior and starts running towards scp-4472´s containment chamber D-9776 proceeds to enter the chamber after rendering the entrance guard unconscious (it is yet unknown how D-9976 managed to immobilize the chamber guard) D-9776 takes possession of scp-4472 and exits the chamber, the containment breach alarm starts and several security units mobilize towards D-9776 which is now scp-4472-A; the security unit team ██ neutralizes scp-4472-A (D-9776) and scp-4472 takes control of one of the security units it then proceeds to grab scp-4472 and quickly mobilizes to the exit of site ██.

It is terminated and scp-4472 repeats the process 12 times in the period of 43 minutes security is ordered to immobilize scp-4472 with a microfiber ultra-resistant net. Scp-4472 is placed back in containment and scp-4472-A is neutralized.

Addendum: 2 Dr. ██████ test log

D-9422 enters the containment chamber at 6:25 AM scp-4472´s cognito hazards get triggered D-class is taken out of the chamber and laid to rest in the nearest habitation module for the expected 336 hour period task forces are in stand-by in case scp-4472-A gets near civilization D-9422 is taken out of the habitation module and escorted to the containment chamber scp-4722-A gets triggered and proceed to sprint and grab scp-4472 it then runs towards the entrance with no opposition then scp-4472 exits site ██ at ████ hours and initiate acceleration reports show a maximum speed of ████ heading west after 8 hours of travel scp-4472-A dies of hypothermia near the coast of ████ mobile task forces utilize D-7712 to recontain it.

Addendum: 3 Dr. ██ test log:

using D-8001 scp-4472 is transported to the farthest point scp-4472-A has reached D-8001 is remotely neutralized and a new D-class member is ordered to approach scp-4472 it then becomes the carrier and proceeds to grab the balalaika as in previous tests; task forces were ordered to follow scp-4472-A in snow conditioned vehicles in case the carrier dies more D-class are in stand-by to be deployed to continue the test.

After ████ hours of movement scp-4772-A stops in the remains of an abandoned shack in ██████████, Siberia which is now referred to as scp-4472-B, scp-4472 speaks in Russian which is directly traduced to: Father I have brought your old instrument as you wanted. Scp-4472-A proceeds to lay the balalaika in the ground and dies due to severe exhaustion and hypothermia.
