SCP-3609

Item #: SCP-3609

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3609 is to be held in a containment cell at Lunar Area-32. SCP-3609 is to be monitored for any signs of hostile behaviour directed towards the Foundation, Foundation personnel, and/or its state of containment under the Foundation.

Personnel interacting with SCP-3609 are to be disinfected of lunar soil or lunar rocks prior to contact.

Mobile Task Force Gamma-4 ("Blondebeard's Crew") is to ensure that all paw prints created by SCP-3609 on the Lunar surface are erased.

Lunar rocks and/so lunar soil are to be provided to SCP-3609 once per day, to reduce hostile behaviour. Personnel interacting with SCP-3609 are to be disinfected of lunar soil or lunar rocks prior to contact. Mobile Task Force Gamma-4 ("Blondebeard's Crew") is to ensure that all paw prints created by SCP-3609 on the Lunar surface are erased.

Description: SCP-3609 is a sapient male specimen of Canis lupus (grey wolf), with a head-to-tail length of 4.5 m and shoulder height of 2 m. It is capable of speech in Old West Norse, and surviving in a vacuum environment without respiration or protection from space exposure. Furthermore, SCP-3609 has been observed to be able to manoeuvre itself in low to zero gravity environments with relative ease, suggesting that it is adapted for locomotion in such environments.

Although SCP-3609 does not need to eat or drink to survive, tests have shown that it can consume lunar rocks, lunar soil or items coated with either of the former without adverse effects to its body. It also displays a strong preference for the aforementioned items; tests have shown it preferring to consume lunar rocks and/or lunar soil over meat from animals typically eaten by members of the Canis genus. Likelihood of hostile behaviour has significantly decreased since introduction of lunar rocks and/or lunar soil to SCP-3609. Additionally, SCP-3609 is not found to have excreted, and it is believed to be incapable of excretion.

SCP-3609 was identified following the Foundation's establishment of Lunar Area-32 in Mare Imbrium on ██/██/1998. SCP-3609 exhibited hostility during initial Foundation contact, requiring reinforcements from Distributed Task Force Sigma-6 ("Puddlejumpers") to successfully contain the entity.

While in containment, SCP-3609 has been observed to produce vocalisations only in presence of Foundation personnel, which was postulated to be an attempt to communicate with Foundation personnel. Said vocalisations were recorded, and it was later identified to be Old West Norse.

Dr. Sigurd Ólafsson of the Department of Terra-Linguistics was then assigned to conduct an interview with SCP-3609. However, due to prerequisite training sessions and other concurrent projects, an interview with SCP-3609 was only arranged by the year 2███. Below is a transcript of Interview Log 3609-01.
