Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-a and SCP-XXXX-b are to be kept inside a 200 liter standard aquarium inside of a standard storage locker on Site ██. Both are to be fed 5 oz of a mixture of clay, dirt, and sediment every week. Testing must be authorized by at least one Level 4 personnel on site, and use of SCP-XXXX to clean on-site dishes is to be approved on a case by case basis by the Site Director. The tank itself is to be examined for damage on a biweekly basis, as to ensure structural integrity.

+ Access Previous Containment Procedures - Access Granted Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX=a and SCP-XXXX-b are to be kept inside of a 200 liter standard aquarium inside of a standard storage locker on Site ██. The tank is to be cleaned every two weeks, and the water filter replaced every month. Both are to be fed 5 oz of a mixture of clay, dirt, and sediment every week. Testing must be authorized by at least one Level 3 personnel on site, and use of SCP-XXXX to clean on-site dishes is to be approved on a case by case basis by the Site Director.

Description: SCP-XXXX refers to two ██████ brand washcloths, referred to as SCP-XXXX-a and SCP-XXXX-b respectively. Both act as if they were living organisms with comparable intelligence to the Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops). Both can be trained to obey commands given to them, and can remember them for long periods of time. SCP-XXXX-a is a navy-blue color, while SCP-XXXX-b is crimson. They are usually docile, and will rarely show aggression unless they are dehydrated or underfed.

Both will feed on dirt, grease, and other substances considered "dirty", excluding bodily fluids. If either are not given any substance to feed on after a week, they will become unresponsive to any stimuli until they are fed. Although they can survive indefinitely without sustenance, it is highly recommended that they are supplied food on a regular basis (See Incident Report XXXX-A).

If they are left to dry, they will enter a dormancy state, where they will cease all anomalous activities. During this state, they can be used as normal washcloths. If exposed to water, they will resume anomalous activity, but will be unresponsive to stimuli around for 24 hours. Neither will react to other liquids or water in other states of matter.

Recovery Log: SCP-XXXX was discovered by Jr. Researcher ██████ on a trip to his family in ████████, Kansas while on a routine holiday with his family. During his time away from the Foundation, he reported that the pair of washcloths he'd used in a shower were, "Moving, as if they were eating the dirt off of me." Foundation operatives were sent to the family for interrogation and recovery. ██████'s family pleaded ignorance, and were released after being administered amnesics.

Incident Report XXXX-A: On 7/5/████, during an attempted containment breach of SCP-███, power and normal safety mechanics went inactive. At this time, SCP-XXXX was kept inside an oxygenated aquarium tank with connections to the larger water supply. During this time, they slipped through a 3 cm gap into Site-██'s water supply and pipework. It remained uncontained for 1 hour, until they were recovered via a toilet in D-7213's cell. Once recovered, containment procedures were remade to cut off access to the pipes.
