Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must remain locked at all times. It should only be opened by personnel with at least Level 2 clearance and with expressed permission from the head researcher. All workers stationed at the ██████████ Mortuary are to be undercover Agents with at least Level 2 clearance. SCP-XXXX is to remain locked at all times. If lock is damaged, SCP-XXXX is to be immediately blocked from opening via placing tungsten-steel crossbar over opening. See Addendum 567-A for protocol on lock repair

All on-site personnel must not have had any deaths of friends or family within the past 5 years. As well, personnel must not have any heart diseases or genetic history of heart diseases. Personnel suffering from chest pains must seek medical attention. If cardiac arrest occurs, said personal must never be stationed to SCP-XXXX again.

All instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be cremated in the on-site incinerator after use.

Description: The ██████████ Mortuary is located in the town of ██████████, Ontario. The Foundation was first aware of SCP-XXXX's anomalous behavior on 1/19/20██, when an Agent stationed in the area heard reports of previous coroner Dr. █. Alsa discovering the body of his deceased mother. The Foundation was notified and a field team was sent out to investigate the location. After a Junior Agent opened SCP-XXXX twice, creating 2 SCP-XXXX-1 instances , all civilians were removed from the building, civilians that witnessed SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects where given Class-A amnestics. The facility is now operated by Foundation staff.

SCP-XXXX is the 3rd freezer unit in the 1st row of body freezers in the coroners office of the building. SCP-XXXX appears to be a normal body freezer of an unknown manufacturer with most of the paint peeled off it's door. Any attempts to carve metal off of SCP-XXXX to run material analysis have failed. It is theorized that the composition of replacement locks is similar to SCP-XXXX's. (See Addendum 567-A)

SCP-XXXX exhibits some anomalous traits when closed. Stationed personnel are prone to fatigue and chest pains originating from the heart. These symptoms are notably increased in those who've had a loved one die within the past 5 years. Prolonged exposure can lead to more severe chest pains and in serious cases cardiac arrest.

Once SCP-XXXX is opened it creates an instance of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 is a non-anomalous human body in a Primacare brand body bag, however the body takes on the appearance of a loved one of whomever opens it. SCP-XXXX-1 have confirmed to be genetic clones of their living counterparts. SCP-XXXX-1 will have the traditional Y-scar on its body similar to bodies that have undergone an autopsy. However all internal organs are unscathed. Traces of various inedible objects can be found in the digestive system. Cause of death is always identifiable as cardiac arrest. If an object is placed within SCP-XXXX's body bag and the bag is closed, upon unzipping the object is gone and crushed traces of it can be found inside the digestive system.

When SCP-XXXX is closed and locked with an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 still inside, an SCP-XXXX-1a event will occur. During this event, those around it will hear knocking from the inside of the door, despite audio devices not detecting knocking. After 1-2 hours of knocking, personnel will observe a violent shaking of SCP-XXXXs door, shaking doesn't appear on installed surveillance cameras. After 5-6 hours of being closed SCP-XXXX will cause any personnel that had a loved one die in the past 5 years to start clutching their chest and crying while forcing their way through any obstacles to reach SCP-XXXX and open it. If the only way into the coroner's office is blocked, personnel will assume the fetal position and start crying profusely until they fall asleep. Once reawakened they recall no memories of their previous actions. Once reawakened 97% of subjects will not remember previous actions, if subject's retains memory, interview, and then administer Class-B amnestics.

+ [Level 3 Clearance Required] Interview Log 234-Y8 - Credentials Confirmed Interviewed: Researcher Dr. B. ███████ Interviewer: Head researcher Dr. J. ████████████ Reason: Researcher Dr. B. ███████ had just woken up from fetal position after suffering the effects of an SCP-XXXX-1a event. Surprisingly he'd kept memory of the event. <Begin Log> Dr. J. ████████████: Okay B████, speak into the microphone and describe your experience of the SCP-XXXX-1a event Dr. B. ███████: Well, uh… I started to get this feeling of terrible dread, and then my heart starting hurting, like terrible searing pain, and I felt an immense sadness. I-I started hearing voices of family, friends.They where yelling at me to "Open it"or something, and to "Find us"? So, anyway, I just- just started scrambling to get to SCP-XXXX Y'know? To open it.



Dr. J. ████████████: Mmhm, and what happened when you discovered that the door had been locked? Dr. B. ███████: I slammed as hard as I could but the door wouldn't budge, my heart pain was flaring up, and the voices just got louder and louder, I felt like I needed to find it. Dr. J. ████████████: Did the voices explicitly tell you why SCP-XXXX needed to be opened?

Dr. B. ███████: They, uh… Dr. J. ████████████: Are you feeling okay B████? You're looking a little pale. Dr. B. ███████ starts to slur speech and speak faster and sounds incredibly anxious Dr. B. ███████: They needed me to look through the bodies, to find it, them, us. To pile them until I found it. Found me. Where all always in there! They need me to find my body my body is in there that's my body. All the bodies ARE IN THERE, bodies that haven't happened. Find the body, find our body, find her body, find his body… Dr. B. ███████ started to ramble incoherently at this point, clutching his heart and crying Dr. J. ████████████: Oh shit, Guards! Sedate him and get the amnestics ready!" Scraping chairs and a struggle can be heard, presumably between Dr. B. ███████ and guards

<End Log> Closing Statement: Dr. B. ███████ was sedated and amnesticized using class-B amnestics by guards stationed in interview room. Protocol has been put in place in case another personal remembers their experience during an SCP-XXXX-1a event. 3 days later Dr. B. ███████ suffered from cardiac arrest and was promptly moved off-site. Under no circumstances is Dr. B. ███████ to ever be stationed at SCP-XXXX again.

Once reopened after 5-6 hours, the body bag around SCP-XXXX-1 will be opened if previously zipped shut, and SCP-XXXX-1 will be contorted and horribly mutilated. Mutilations appear as if they had been carried out with various blades . The body's heart will appear to have been ripped out. If SCP-XXXX is not locked and closed with SCP-XXXX-1 in it, it will violently reopen, with a force of 3500N. If SCP-XXXX-1 removed and SCP-XXXX is closed but not locked, it will open itself within 1-3 days, creating an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 resembling a loved one of the closest person.

See attached experiment log for details on closing SCP-XXXX with a live human

+ Experiment Log 234-U1 - Experiment Log 243-U1 Dr. J. ████████████ is talking to D-24455 who is equipped with a wireless in-ear speaker and head-mounted camera, D-24560 is holding SCP-XXXX's handle Dr. J. ████████████: Can you hear me?

D-24455:Uh, y-yes. Sir.

Dr. J. ████████████: Okay, Close the locker slowly. D-24560 starts to slowly close locker D-24455 Are you sure this is a good idea? D-24455 is audibly very distressed, and D-24560 hesitates Dr. J. ████████████: Continue closing the locker, please. (D-24560 continues)

D-24455: Look I'm n-not really sure if this is be- All audio and visual signals from D-24455 are immediately lost upon closing of SCP-XXXX Dr J. ████████████: Alright, open the locke- Dr. J. ████████████ is interrupted by the violent opening of SCP-XXXX by its own force, causing D-24560 to be thrown into the opposing wall and injured Dr. J. ████████████: (to onsite researcher) Someone get that D-class a doctor, I'll go file my report and examine D-24455's body Recording Ends Once SCP-XXXX was opened, D-24455's body was found inside a body-bag identical to the ones on SCP-XXXX-1 variants, the body had a Y-shaped autopsy scar and showed signs that death occurred approximately 3 days ago. All electronics worn by D-24455 during experiment had been ground into pieces and anomalously placed within the bodies digestive system. Body was incinerated on site after examination was complete.

Addendum 567-A: Despite SPC-XXXXs ability to withstand any attempts to remove a sample, the bolt style lock is still able to break off. The replacement lock has to made from a blend of 47.5% Titanium, 35% Aluminum, and 17.5% Chromium. Holding the lock onto the front of SCP-XXXX in the location of the previous lock will heat it to ~30°C and fuse the lock to its surface, gaining SCP-XXXXs physical properties. SCP-XXXX appears unable to accept more than one working lock at once.
