Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the anomalous nature of SCP-XXXX, containment is impossible. Instead, procedures revolve around tracking of SCP-XXXX, suppression of information, and identification and elimination of SCP-XXXX-2 instances. Mobile Task Force Lambda-6 (aka "Slowpokes") has been deployed indefinitely to ascertain the location of SCP-XXXX at all times and eliminate instances of SCP-XXXX-2 if need be.

Determination of the identity of new SCP-XXXX-1 instances is imperative. Once SCP-XXXX-1 is in custody, they are to be contained in two separate sites and flown in between the two on a yearly basis. Site █ and the Foundation Siberian Outpost are to be used to in containment of SCP-XXXX-1 due to the distance between them.

Description: SCP-XXXX physically resembles the species Cornu Aspersum, a common garden snail. Its size is above average for a common garden snail, with a body 40 mm long and a shell 20 mm tall. SCP-XXXX has a top observed speed of 1.5 cm/s, but often moves slower with an average speed of .86 cm/s.

SCP-XXXX is nigh indestructible by any means (check Addendum 1 for testing log). Despite benig fully corporeal, SCP-XXXX displays a sort of instinctual incorporeality when faced with normally insurmountable barriers such as mountains or walls. In addition to this,SCP-XXXX has displayed extreme durability in the face of physical threats. These traits have led researchers to conclude that SCP-XXXX cannot be contained by any current means of the foundation. However, due to the unassuming appearance and relatively slow speed of SCP-XXXX, and after review of the O5 council, it has been determined that SCP-XXXX poses little threat to the Foundation and humanity as a whole if SCP-XXXX-1 can be contained and protected and if instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are prevented and eliminated.

SCP-XXXX-1 is the chosen "target' of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 is always a human being of above thirty years of age, chosen seemingly at random from anywhere on Earth. SCP-XXXX has omniscient knowledge of the location of SCP-XXXX-1 at all times and will always pursue its target, modifying the path it takes according to SCP-XXXX-1's position. Because of the slow speed of SCP-XXXX, it can take many years to reach its location, but due to its anomalous traits reaching SCP-XXXX-1 is an inevitability.

When physical contact is made between SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-1 will become an instance of SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2 is identical in every way to SCP-XXXX-1, but displays psychological and behavioral pattern similar to the common garden snail (check addendum 2 for a list of behavioral changes). Instances of SCP-XXXX-2 then enter a passive state and begin to follow SCP-XXXX to the next instance of SCP-XXXX-1, matching its speed. Should an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 be separated from SCP-XXXX, it will enter an active state. While in an active state, SCP-XXXX-2 will become very agitated and exhibit increased muscle density, endurance, and dexterity. They are extremely dangerous and are to be quickly terminated. Use of conventional weaponry is ineffective. Mobile Task Force Lambda-8 has been outfitted with napalm, anti-material weaponry, and [REDACTED] in order to effectively eliminate SCP-XXXX-2 instances.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered on 9/15/19██ when Dr. Keanus, head researcher for SCP-███ fell under SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects during a routine containment procedure review. This immediately resulted in the release of SCP-███, destruction of Site-█, and a total number of ███ casualties. After the ensuing events, it was determined that Dr. Keanus had survived the containment breach and was discovered crawling through the Mojave Desert next to SCP-XXXX. Current containment procedures were put into effect shortly after.

+ Addendum 1- SCP-XXXX Durability Test Log - Close Testing began shortly after the discovery of SCP-XXXX's full anomalous ability on 10/20/19██. Testing concluded on 12/23/19██ after it was determined that SCP-XXXX was virtually invincible. Testing logs use the following format: Test #:

Result:

Additional Notes: Test #: 1

Date: 10/23/19██

Attending Researcher: Dr. Hamilton

Procedure: One D-class personnel was outfitted with steel toed work boots and told to crush SCP-XXXX until dead.

Result: After several minutes of attempting to stomp on SCP-XXXX, it was clear that there was no effect on SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX continued to move along its path.

Additional Notes: "Although this failed to impede SCP-XXXX's progress, this test does show that only SCP-XXXX-1 can be affected by the psychology-altering traits of SCP-XXXX." -Dr. Hamilton Test #: 17

Date: 2/12/19██

Attending Researcher: Dr. Hamilton

Procedure: One D-class personnel was outfitted with a twenty ton steamroller and told to drive the vehicle over top of SCP-XXXX.

Result: The steam roller passed over top of SCP-XXXX with little issue, but was not successful in damaging SCP-XXXX in any way. The D-class reported feeling a small bump and nothing else.

Additional Notes: "I knew this test was a waste of time. It only confirmed what we already know: SCP-XXXX cannot be halted." -Dr. Hamilton Test #: 48

Date: 9/30/19██

Attending Researcher: Dr. Hamilton

Procedure: One D-class personnel was equipped with a salt shaker containing common table salt and instructed to pour the salt onto SCP-XXXX.

Result: SCP-XXXX continued upon its path.

Additional Notes: "We're running out of ideas" -Dr. Hamilton
