"A Somewhat Peaceful Statue"

SCP # XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Containment Procedures:

SCP XXXX is to be held at Site 06-3 due to his relatively low threat to humans when inanimate, XXXX should be held in a 4 x 4 x 4 metre room with a bed, table, chair and a window facing out of the site. A record player is to be provided to SCP XXXX with music to be given on request. The subjects cell must be soundproofed to prevent disturbance to other SCPs. At least one MTF guard must be placed outside XXXX’s cell at any given time. The walls of the cell must be metre thick concrete with a reinforced steel door as a precaution, the window must be tempered glass to prevent any attempt at an escape.

100kg of mineral supplements are to be supplied to SCP XXXX daily, Personnel are able to enter the cell to provide the subject with food but are not advised to disturb him unless instructed. SCP XXXX does not require liquid. Permission from at least two Level 4 staff must be given to have an interview with the subject and/or experiment on said subject.

Description:

SCP XXXX was recovered from Site ██ on ██/██/20██ after his creation by Dr. ████████ (deceased). SCP XXXX was originally intended to destroy SCP 173 (see Experiment XXXX-1) . Upon the failure of SCP 173’s destruction and the discovery that SCP XXXX attacks only to defend himself (see Experiment XXXX-2), SCP XXXX was relocated to Site 06-3 when the conclusion was reached that he posed no imminent threat to humans if left alone.

SCP XXXX appears to be a male humanoid statue around 5”11 in height and 150lb in weight. He appears to be made completely from stone with the exception of certain facial features including the mouth, nose, ears and eyes which are particularly human like when SCP XXXX is animate. The material from which XXXX is made of is currently unknown as it is significantly stronger than stone (which many thought it to be at first glance), material extracted from SCP (with permission from the subject) has been identified after Dr. ████████ destroyed many of the files on XXXX before he attempted to destroy XXXX (See Addendum XXXX-c).

So far, nothing has been discovered at the core of SCP XXXX due to the thickness of his "skin", it is impenetrable to X-Rays and most other types of radiation so identifying a core is virtually impossible. Any attempt to drill in to SCP XXXX could damage him and give him cause to react with hostility.

When left alone, SCP XXXX will remain inanimate in his holding cell. XXXX can stay inanimate for up to 12 hours at a time at which he will become animate and request food. SCP XXXX’s preferred pastime is listening to music or facing directly out the window for hours upon end.

SCP XXXX has been noted to find pleasure in talking to site personnel about current affairs and other SCPs held in the facility, personnel must have authority format least two members of Level 4 personnel before disclosing such information. XXXX has also been noted to like ‘making friends’ with some of the staff in the facility, he has even been seen to be talking to some of the staff about personal matters.

Addendum XXXX-a: Experiment Log

Experiment XXXX-1:

SCP XXXX is placed in SCP 173’s cell in an attempt to destroy 173. Contrary to SCP XXXX’s instructions, XXXX remained inanimate when placed in 173’s cell. Curiously, 173 did not attack XXXX when both SCPs were left in the room for approximately five minutes despite XXXX not keeping direct eye contact with 173. When Dr. ████████ attempted to destroy SCP XXXX, XXXX murdered Dr. ████████ near the incinerator where his body was later discovered

It has been noted that perhaps SCP XXXX only attacks an entity if he himself is attacked.

Experiment XXXX-2:

D-class subject is provided with an M4A1 Assault rifle and placed in a range with SCP XXXX at the opposite end. The D-class is not instructed of XXXX’s previous capabilities and is instructed to fire at XXXX. As the D-class opened fire, XXXX became animate and within approximately 0.35 seconds after animation, the D-class subject collapsed to the floor without any visible physical interaction between the D-class and SCP XXXX. This experiment proved the previous hypothesis.

Addendum XXXX-b: Excerpt from the Post-mortem Examinations of SCP XXXX’s Victims

Both the D-class and Dr. ████████, upon examination, appeared to have died from acute cardiac failure, thought to be directly caused by SCP XXXX. How SCP XXXX has the ability to cease the beating of the subjects hearts from such a distance is yet unknown as SCP XXXX had no physical contact with either of the subjects at the time of their death.

Addendum XXXX-c: Lab analysis of creatures "skin"

A chunk of SCP XXXX was identified by a mass spectrometer after tiny shrapnels of XXXX were dislodged during Experiment XXXX-b. The report provided by the lab shows that XXXX's skin is a thick coat made up of a 60% lead 30% Antimony and 10% ████████ ████████. Attempts have been made to synthesize this material however have yet failed as the original method was destroyed along with other vital details about SCP XXXX.

Addendum XXXX-d: Interview with SCP XXXX

Interviewed: SCP XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. George █████

Forward: Dr. █████ walks in to SCP XXXX’s cell while XXXX sat inanimate on his bed. Dr. █████ pulls a chair aside and sits down.

<Begin Log: 18:32, ██/██/20██>

Dr. █████: “Good evening XXXX, I’ve come to ask you a few things.”

SCP XXXX: “How lovely to have a visitor, I do quite enjoy conversing with you and your staff”

Dr. █████: “Good to hear, is it okay for me to start asking?”

SCP XXXX: “Fire away doctor.”

Dr. █████: “Why did you kill Dr. ████████?”

SCP XXXX: “He attempted to end my life, I acted only to prevent incurring damage to myself”

Dr. █████: “Is your reasoning the same for the D-class you killed?”

SCP XXXX: “I’m afraid so Doctor.”

Dr. █████: “How did you kill them? We understand they died of Cardiac Arrest.”

SCP XXXX taps his nose with a distinct smile.

Dr. █████: "Would you kill me right here, right now, if you felt like it?"

SCP XXXX: "If you gave me a reason to do so, perhaps…"

Dr. █████: "Could you escape if you wanted to do so?"

SCP XXXX: "Of course, I have the strength to pull that door off if I so please. You can't contain me. I choose to be contained Doctor, Remember that."

Dr. █████: "O..Okay"

By this point Dr. █████ is sweating profusely.

SCP XXXX: "Oh do not worry, doctor. I only act in retaliation as I'm sure your reports have confirmed, you seem like a reasonable man."

Both SCP XXXX and Doctor █████ exchange looks

Dr. █████: “Okay. I believe that is all, thank you for your time. Enjoy your evening XXXX”

SCP XXXX: “Do come back doctor.”

<End Log: 18:38, ██/██/20██>

Closing Statement: Dr. █████ puts the chair back and leaves the cell slightly scared from his encounter with XXXX, SCP XXXX becomes inanimate again with a faint smile on his face
