SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a 4 cm x 4 cm lead box, and should be placed within a small chamber in Sector ████ Said box is to be guarded by a 4 digit pass-code, the code should be changed every 2 months, and known only to high level staff, or those who have been approved to study SCP-XXXX. Researchers wishing to study SCP-XXXX must equip a pair of lead lined gloves, which can be found in the office of Dr. ████. Gloves should be worn at all times during study of SCP-XXXX, in order to deter its known effects.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a spherical type of candy commonly referred to as a jawbreaker. SCP-XXXX varies little from known, mass produced types of this candy. Object is of unremarkable size and texture. SCP-XXXX appears to be white in color, alongside a pattern of splatter across the surface baring other colors. SCP-XXXX was recovered from the basement of ████ Candy Store located in ██,██ Upon entrance of location, SCP-XXXX was found to be the only type of candy to hold anomalous properties after further investigation of location. Origin of SCP-XXXX is currently unknown, and owner of said shop has claimed no responsibility for the object's creation. After further investigation and interrogation, owner was deemed unresponsible by researchers.

SCP-XXXX has proven indestructible, however, samples were able to be made of the object that revealed it is currently made up of a combination of both commonly found elements in candy, such as sugar and corn syrup.

Other elements discovered upon further study of SCP-XXXX have revealed it to contain traces of blood, bone marrow, sulfur, paint and [REDACTED]. Origins of such elements are unknown, and are undetectable when observed externally. However, these elements have proven to not bethe object's most noteworthy property.

Upon any direct physical contact made by organisms causes the subject a period of increased physical and mental pain known to last two to five hours. Organisms present with a jawbone have been shown to have their jaw immeditately fracture after contact is made. After contact is made, subjects will go inter a state of hysteria and increased pain, which has been compared to the pain of ████. Any attempts to anesthetize this pain have proven unsuccessful. This pain lasts until the jaw collapses fully from the subject's skull. Contact has proven consistent for all humans making contact with SCP-XXXX, and at present time can be broken into several symptoms.

Contact is made with SCP-XXXX. Subject's jaw will appear to fracture, causing intense pain.

Jaw will begin to rot away, in a similar fashion to decompisition of a human corpse.

Blood and mucus will begin build up in the throat, until it completely fills the larynx.

After fluid has completely clogged the larynx, subject will begin wheezing and coughing. Attempts to fully cough up the fluid have been unsuccessful

The jaw breaks off from the subject's skull, causing a massive flow of blood and other fluids from the subject.

Samples taken from the remaining parts of the collapsed jaw have shown nothing anamalous, and X-Rays done on the subject before collapse reveals no known cause for the effect of SCP-XXXX.

“I know this thing's just a piece of candy, but it's like it's laughing at us. We can't tell how the hell this thing does what it does, we can't see any things that would cause something like this, but we have the subjects to prove just what touching this thing does to a person.” -Dr [REDACTED]

After the jaw collapses, subjects have been found to be reverted to a childlike mental state. Reports of vivid hallucinations and nightmares have been made by subjects making contact with SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX has been found to have no effect on subjects wearing lead lined gloves. Attempts made to place SCP-XXXX in a subject's mouth have revealed no effect to the subject, but SCP-XXXX will remain the same size and has been reported to not deteriorate. Taste has been compared by subject as comparing to rusted metal, or iron.

After the subject is deemed healthy, recovery is possible, but the subject is rendered incapable of speech, and must be fed through a feeding tube. Violent episodes are rare, but have been reported in some subjects, and for those instances, subjects should be continually monitored on a regular basis.

Addendum SCP-XXXX-A

Two months after containment, on 5/29/████ at 6:32 PM, a gift wrapped box was discovered in Sector [REDACTED] by an unknown source, security footage reveals no perpetrator behind the box.

Addendum XXXX-2

At approximately 10: PM, on ██/█/█, Subject D-████, a 27 year old Caucasian male broke free from his containment cell. Shortly after reports his escape, a group of Agents were sent in to terminate him. A loud scream was reported coming from the current holding chamber of SCP-XXXX alongside the shattering of glass.

Subject was found curled into a corner of the chamber. his jaw hanging from his face. It is unknown how and why the subject entered the chamber, or what drove him to touch XXXX.

"It sounded like fifty goddamn jets going off at once."- Dr. ████

Mobile Task Force opened fire on the subject, but were in unsuccessful in killing him. The subject reportedly turned aggressive and began to attack the guards, all while screaming and crying.

"He looked like a friggin' animal"- Agent [REDACTED]

The subject did no major damage to the guards he attacked, and was shortly sedated during his attack. It is still being studied why the subject, now designated SCP-XXXX-2, suffered no damage from the bullets fired.

Attempts were made to place SCP-XXXX-2 back into a containment cell, but subject was found to return to XXXX's chamber at the same time as subject was recovered for a total of two weeks. XXXX-2 is to be kept in a cell directly across XXXX's chamber, connected by a tunnel. Cell should be cooled to 10 degrees Celsius to numb the pain, and subject needs medical treatment once a week, alongside clean-up of blood and fluid.

Object displays brief moments of aggression, and can attack if feeling impatient, angry, or at random. After the subject's jaw collapsed, written interviews were done with the subject. XXXX-2 seems to display very little knowledge for his past life as a Class D and [REDACTED]. XXXX-2 will occasionally scratch messages with his nails into the walls of his holding cell, as well as drawings, including:

Drawings of other types of candy

Skulls

Top Hats

A variety of swear words

Drawings of other SCPs, such as ████- It is unknown how subject was able to create illustrations of said SCPs, as the subject has had no reported interactions with the majority of them.

Poems

Eyes

“I hope you enjoyed the treats I made you, I made them all with love.”

Since giving response, subject has made no other messages when interview was attempted. Requests to increase containment of SCP-XXXX have been made.
