Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 instances are not to be permitted onto land, at any time. SCP-XXXX-1 instances are not to be allowed to send radio communications to anywhere outside of foundation sites, and messages sent by SCP-XXXX-3 are only to be sent to SCP-XXXX-2. Deep-sea vessels are to be diverted away from SCP-XXXX-2 locations, under the guise of strong currents. In the event of deep-sea exploration vessels finding any instances of SCP-XXXX-2, amnestics are to be administered as soon as possible. SCP-XXXX-3 instances are permitted to drop resources to SCP-XXXX-2, however, if any person(s) are within a 30km radius of the drop zone, they are to refrain from doing so.

Object Description: SCP-XXXX is the designated name for three objects. SCP-XXXX-1, -2, and -3. SCP-XXXX-1 is a species of silica-based organisms, superficially resembling Ctenocephalides canis (dog flea). However, SCP-XXXX-1 instances possess a smaller size, a more ant-like leg shape, and two small arms protruding from the underside of the thorax. SCP-XXXX-1 instances show high intelligence and problem solving capabilities, and are confirmed to be sapient. Current evidence suggests SCP-XXXX-1 arrived on Earth some 15,000 years ago.

SCP-XXXX-2 are structures created by SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-2 instances reside around hydrothermal vents in the Atlantic ocean, and show extreme pressure resistance. SCP-XXXX-2 instances are made of a layered external structure, consisting of a 10in. thick layer of steel plating, a 3in. thick layer of ceramic, and a 2in. thick layer of a concrete-like substance. SCP-XXXX-2 utilize the geothermal power from the hydrothermal vents to generate electricity, and use the minerals from the smoke produced by said vents for a variety of purposes.

SCP-XXXX-3 are a set of fourteen rectangular structures in high-earth orbit. SCP-XXXX-3 instances are 6m long, 5m wide, and 2m tall, and are composed of a similar layered structure to SCP-XXXX-2, aside from the steel layer, which has been replaced by a dense, lead-osmium alloy that encompasses the surface of each craft. SCP-XXXX-3 are as of yet poorly understood, with research ongoing. SCP-XXXX-3 instances emit near-constant radio signals to SCP-XXXX-2, mainly consisting of information regarding surface weather, and regular check-ins regarding the structural integrity of SCP-XXXX-2.

+ Noteworthy Transmissions + Hide Attachment DATE/TIME DESCRIPTION NOTES 12/20/██, 9:13AM A sudden transmission of data, sent directly to SCP-XXXX-2-03. Consisted of information regarding an object in high-earth orbit, referred to as "Xhe". "Xhe", from context, appears to be the name of an SCP-XXXX-3 instance. Xhe is believed to have suffered hull damage from space debris. 2/5/██, 5:37PM An SSTV image sent directly to Site-██, consisting of a blurred foundation logo, with several symbols of SCP-XXXX-1's native language above, and below it. Text, when translated, says "SECURE CONTAIN PROTECT", and "NOT ALONE". 2/22/██, 2:22PM An SSTV image sent directly to Site-██, consisting of white text on a black background, in SCP-XXXX-1's native language. Text, when translated, says "ITS TWO-ES DAY HAHA". 4/12/██, 12:13 A radio signal sent to SCP-XXXX-2-03, which appeared to be a confirmation for a resource request. At 12:30, a capsule of metal sheets was sent to SCP-XXXX-2-03 by an SCP-XXXX-3 instance. 6/4/██, 2:50PM An SSTV signal sent to Site-██, consisting of various images of SCP-XXXX-1's biology, as well as images of their presumed place of origin. Final image showed a planet similar to Venus, with several tall, rectangular structures in the background.

+ ACCESS INTERVIEW XXXX-1-1.5/7/20██ + HIDE INTERVIEW Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1-1

Interviewer: Dr. Z██████

Foreword: A signal was sent by an SCP-XXXX-3 instance to Site-██, consisting of a request to initiate radio communication. Request granted, under the supervision of Dr. G████████.

<begin log> Dr. Z██████: [short pause] "Hello?" SCP-XXXX-1-1: [unintelligible] Dr. Z██████: "Please re-" SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Self said greetings. Microphone is limited." Dr. Z██████: "You requested to make contact with us, could you tell me why?" SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Self could." [long pause] "Self jest. Self requested contact to speak of anomalies, of foundation, and of Earth. Self-many admires yours. Your resilience, your ability to contain things that seem uncontainable, like the lizard." Dr. Z██████: "You mean SCP-682?" SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Yes. The destroyer, bringer of death. You have contained it, despite it being immortal. I admire your bravery. You are kings amidst destruction." Dr. Z██████: "…You wished to talk about us- the foundation -could you elaborate on that?" SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Yes. Self-many wishes alliance, to help contain anomalies, to give resources. You have land and wood, we have ocean and metal, space and stone. Kuiper belt mining drones send rare resources to what you call "Scip dash XXXX dash 3", what we call "Yha-ax-za". May send metals to foundation ships, may send rare things found in asteroids." Dr. Z██████: "I'll talk to my superiors of said alliance, but I can't promise anything." SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Yes. Earth, Earth is beautiful, is it not? Massive pillars of carbon, stretching as far as the eye can see. Green and blue, spots of Naz that line the surface. You must keep it in order, keep it a sanctuary. A sanctuary of color and song." Dr. Z██████: "Will that be all?" SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Yes. I will speak more another time." <end log>

Researcher's Note: Current request for an 'alliance' is still pending. These guys might be useful to us, if they provide us with resources outside of Earth. Containment may not be a problem, given our current procedures; just keep people out of the visible drop-zone. - Dr. Z██████

+ ACCESS INTERVIEW XXXX-1-1.6/4/20██ + HIDE INTERVIEW Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1-1

Interviewer: Dr. Z██████

Foreword: A signal was sent by an SCP-XXXX-3 instance to Site-██, consisting of an attempt to initiate radio contact. Request granted, under the supervision of Dr. G████████ (hereby "Command").

<begin log> Dr. Z██████: [short pause] "Can you hear me?" SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Affirm. Self hears you." Dr. Z██████: "Alright, what did you contact us for this time?" SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Alliance. Has O5 accepted?" Dr. Z██████: [short pause] "How did you know about the O5 council? SCP-XXXX-1-1: "You keep database on electronic storage. Self-many have trained for many months to see what objects you contain, to see how self-many could assist. Self-many see mentions of "O5" access only. Memetics kill previous instigators." Dr. Z██████: [to command] "Look at some of the files- see if they've been accessed by anyone. This could be a serious information breach." Command: "Several files have been opened in the past 48 hours. I don't know how, but they managed to get in our files, despite numerous fail-safes we have. Ask them how." Dr. Z██████: "Alright, so, how did you get our information, despite the hundreds of failsafes we have? Not to mention all the memetic agents we keep just in case." SCP-XXXX-1-1: [REDACTED] Dr. Z██████: [to command] "Did you get all of that?" Command: "Affirmative. We'll try to find out how to counteract this. Just keep asking questions until you get the all-clear, and don't tell them anything that's above level two clearance." SCP-XXXX-1-1: "About O5. Why redact? You should show your kind all you have. Give them all information you can, let them know of the things you redact, to better prepare them." Dr. Z██████: "I may ask my higher-ups about that. Will this be all?" SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Indeed. I will speak another time." <end log>

Researcher's Note: We got countermeasures to what they did. I think they may have used some kind of anomalous means to access our files, somehow. And no- don't let things that have been expunged or redacted into the hands of people under clearance. - Dr. Z██████

+ ACCESS INTERVIEW XXXX-1-1.8/16/20██ + HIDE INTERVIEW Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1-1

Interviewer: Dr. J███████

Foreword: A signal was sent by an SCP-XXXX-3 instance to Site-██, consisting of an attempt to initiate radio contact. Request granted, under the supervision of Dr. G████████.

<begin log> SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Carbon. Z██████. It is urgent." Dr. J███████: "Dr. Z██████ is currently off-site, so you will have to speak with me." SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Uuz-yax." [long pause] "Affirm. I wish to speak of alliance." Dr. J███████: "Understood. Please continue." SCP-XXXX-1-1: "Why taking so long?" Dr. J███████: "Because the O5 council require a majority vote, and it takes a very long time to attempt to integrate an entire species into our operations. Rome wasn't built in a day. SCP-XXXX-1-1: [short pause] "Self understands. That is all I wished to speak of." <end log>

Researcher's Note: It seems they only really trust me. I have a feeling they were lying about the only thing they wanted to speak about being the alliance between us. - Dr. Z██████

Experiment Log

Researcher's Note(s) Experiment XXXX-001 Researcher: Dr. G████████

Foreword: Test was put in place to further understand SCP-XXXX-1's intelligence and problem-solving capabilities. SCP-XXXX-1 was placed inside of a 1x1x1ft, polymer container, fitted with several basic puzzles, each leading to a small chunk of meat. 7/29/20██.

<begin log> 0:00 SCP-XXXX-1 Instance introduced to chamber, enters Test 01, consisting of a basic water-displacement puzzle. SCP-XXXX-1 instance, instead of pushing small grains of sand into the water, climbed into the tube, and brought out the food. 1:21 SCP-XXXX-1 Instance, after finishing its reward, moves to Test 02, consisting of a basic stick-pushing puzzle. SCP-XXXX-1 Instance, instead of grabbing the object and pushing the food out of the container, pushed aside the stick, and entered the container. 2:35 SCP-XXXX-1 Instance enters Test 03, a pattern-recognition puzzle. SCP-XXXX-1 must learn to associate a specific color and symbol with food. Meat introduced behind door 3. SCP-XXXX-1 instance quickly crawls into the chamber, jumping onto Dr. G████████'s glove, and entering the petri dish where the chunks of meat were held. Dr. G████████ successfully re-introduces specimen to containment. <end log>

Researcher's Note: Y'know, I really don't know what I expected other than something extraordinary. These creatures are just as smart as humans- if not, smarter -and yet so much smaller than us… Hell, they don't even have brains. How do they think?
