Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-XXXX are to be kept in a windowless standard humanoid containment cell. Under no circumstances is an instance of SCP-XXXX to be allowed to make visual contact with any Foundation personnel or other instances of SCP-XXXX, except for testing purposes (UPDATE: Due to lack of meaningful progress, testing has been determined to be an unnecessary waste of resources and suspended). Meals and approved luxury items are to be passed to instances of SCP-XXXX through a drop box installed on the door of the containment chamber. In the event that Foundation personnel must enter the chamber, SCP-XXXX must first be rendered unconscious by flooding the chamber with sevoflurane gas for two times the standard exposure duration.

ADDENDUM: In the time since testing has been suspended, SCP-XXXX has shown an increasing tendency to self-harm. Site staff is advised to take this under consideration when approving its requests for luxury items.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid of variable appearance. It possesses the ability to duplicate the appearance (including clothing and held items), mannerisms, and memories of any person it can see. Immediately after this effect takes place, both SCP-XXXX and its target will appear to be randomly teleported to positions within 3 meters of each other. After this point the two are indistinguishable, and will both insist on being the original. Because no method has been determined to identify the veracity of these statements, or to rule out the possibility that both copies are truly SCP-XXXX, both are to be considered an instance of SCP-XXXX.

Due to the nature of its abilities and refusal to cooperate with researchers, SCP-XXXX is to be considered at high risk for attempting to escape containment. It has been observed to not use its abilities when given the opportunity, in an attempt to bluff research personnel into believing it to be human.

If left unrestrained, instances of SCP-XXXX will invariably attack each other, using any weapons available or with their bare hands. If it believes it is going to be grievously injured, SCP-XXXX will use its teleportation ability to disorient its opponent until one instance is dead or the two are separated.

Following Incident-XXXX-1, there is one instance of SCP-XXXX in containment, which appears identical to former Foundation researcher Donald Cohen.

SCP Involved: SCP-XXXX instances XXXX-c (terminated), XXXX-d (terminated), XXXX-f (unknown), XXXX-g (created, contained), XXXX-h (created, terminated)

Personnel Involved: Level 2 Researcher Donald Cohen (deceased)

Location: Site 59, Humanoid containment level 2

Date: 07/05/2009 Personnel Note: Level 2 Researcher Cohen's personnel record shows that prior to assignment to SCP-XXXX, he had been disciplined for "eagerness to terminate 'useless' SCPs." L2R Cohen was undergoing weekly therapy sessions with the on-site psychologist to address anger management issues, and assigned to remote SCP observation pending a clean bill of health. Description: At 0900 hours on the morning in question, L2R Cohen approached the security station on level 2 of Site 59 and presented documents describing a termination order to be carried out on the three extant instances of SCP-XXXX (SCP-XXXXs -c, -d, and -f). Electronic records confirmed these orders. The cells containing these instances were flooded with sevoflurane gas and then vented to allow L2R Cohen to enter as per the termination order. L2R Cohen proceeded to enter chambers H2-XXXX-c and H2-XXXX-d and terminate the unconscious SCP-XXXX-c and SCP-XXXX-d using a standard issue 9mm pistol. Video records indicate that upon Cohen's entrance to H2-XXXX-f, SCP-XXXX-f was able to regain consciousness and activate its abilities. One of the two resultant copies (SCP-XXXX-g) successfully terminated the other (SCP-XXXX-h). At this point, security personnel who had been monitoring the procedure sealed the chamber to prevent a containment breach. An audit of the records system by RAISA later found the orders presented by L2R Cohen to be forgeries.
