SCP-1741-1

Item #: SCP-1741

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1741 is to be kept in an empty, locked, one room building separate from any other structure at all times. A black light is to be trained on SCP-1741. Proper surveillance cameras are also to be present in SCP-1741’s containment unit at all times. Three (3) personnel are to be assigned to SCP-1741’s containment unit to keep guard.

Description: SCP-1741-1 is a grey 1969 M1911-A1 pistol. When in an open area, SPC-1741-1 behaves like a normal pistol of its kind. It can be damaged, fired, reloaded, and emptied of ammunition. SCP-1741-1 remains in good condition.

SCP-1741-2 is a smoke-like entity that currently possesses D-1741-15, who remains in a comatose state. Anyone possessed by SCP-1741-2 takes the form of SCP-1741-2 and is in complete submission to it. SCP-1741-2 has the ability to absorb or not absorb visible light, and it remains invisible until it has begun torture. Unlike SCP-126, SCP-1741-2 is visible using other methods of detection when it is in a transparent state; the easiest method of detection is by black light. When visible or when under black light, SCP-1741-2 appears to be a humanoid figure completely covered in a thin layer of pitch black smoke. SCP-1741-2 possesses short range mind control abilities, can heal and revive its host from mortal wounds and recent death, and can construct useable .45 ammunition out of a wide range of materials. Otherwise, SCP-1741-2’s limitations are that of a normal human.

SCP-1741-2 will replace the ammunition in SCP-1741-1 if its magazine is not full. SCP-1741-2 has demonstrated the ability to form bullets from many materials, including plastic, copper, and even wood. SCP-1741-2 can produce its own propellant for the bullets, which will vary depending on the materials used. SCP-1741-2 can cut through and form steel for its bullets, but will never use this ability to attempt to escape. It will always choose the easiest materials to work with, and will replace less adequate bullets if better materials are given. SCP-1741-2 will also replace the magazine of SCP-1741-1 in a similar manner if it is removed. SCP-1741-2 follows SCP-1741-1 wherever it is brought. If a person motions to obstruct SCP-1741-2, whether intentional or unintentional, from SCP-1741-1, they will feel stiff with fear and unable to move until they decide to cease the obstructing action or SCP-1741-2 has moved passed the potential obstruction.

If SCP-1741 is in a closed area with one (1) to twenty six (26) people, it will begin torture. If people are just outside of its structure, SCP-1741 waits until they have all entered until it begins. If there are too many people inside the area at once, SCP-1741 will wait until people have left the vicinity until it begins. At first, SCP-1741-2 will shut anything that leads outside, such as an open door or window. Then SCP-1741-2 will make itself visible to the naked eye. Anyone within the same closed area as SCP-1741 is affected, except for people that do not understand suicide, such as small children. These people are treated like objects by SCP-1741, and will most likely end up being killed by a victim as a form of emotional torture. Anyone affected will be fully aware of their situation, and that they cannot leave, call for help, or make any noise exceeding 53.5 dB. If they do attempt to call for help, leave, or harm or touch SCP-1741, they will feel intense fear and be unable to move until they decide to cease the action. Victims will also tend to avoid windows leading outside.

Anyone affected is only able to touch SCP-1741-1 if they fully intend to commit suicide with it. SCP-1741-2 will spend five (5) minutes and six (6) seconds on each victim at a time, and will give a break of double that time to an individual if there are only one (1) or two (2) people involved. Otherwise, it will move from one (1) victim to the next without stopping, unless it is to replace a bullet when there are over seven (7) people involved. SCP-1741-2 will never physically interact with its victims during torture. SCP-1741-2 will force the victim to cause harm to himself or herself using items within the structure. If no items are present, it will use the victim's own body to harm themselves. The victim's right arm and hand will always remain usable and SCP-1741-2 will avoid doing anything to cause the death of the victim throughout the torture. The process will be interrupted if the structure containing SCP-1741 is opened externally or a part of it is destroyed, leaving SCP-1741 in an open area, or if an external force obstructs SCP-1741 from its victim or victims. If this happens, SCP-1741-2 will become invisible and torture will cease. People in the vicinity of the structure containing SCP-1741 will feel a slight repulsion from it, and will avoid walking by the structure if possible.

If a victim does not commit suicide throughout the torture, they will become SCP-1741-2's host. This has only happened once over the coarse of testing. With three (3) victims, torture lasted thirty one (31) hours, six (6) minutes before stopping. When torture stops, SCP-1741 will leave its victim to die. Shortly after they die, SCP-1741-2 will move off its old host and onto the new one. Without a host, SCP-1741-2 appears to be a pitch black, smoky liquid. SCP-1741 will then become invisible and revive and start to heal its unconscious new host. The old host will be perfectly healthy, feeling and looking the age they were when they started torture.

Addendum 1741-A:

+ Test Log 910-1741 - Test Log 910-1741 Testing lead by: Dr. Haw Test 1741-A - ██/██/19██ Subject: SCP-1741

Procedure: D-1741-1 is to enter SCP-1741's containment cell. He is to be given various orders throughout.

Results: SCP-1741-2 makes itself visible to the naked eye. SCP-1741-2 approaches D-1741-1 and stands still in front of him. D-1741-1 begins to completely bite off and eat his fingernails against his own will. This process continues for five (5) minutes and six (6) seconds. SCP-1741-2 steps away from D-1741-1. D-1741-1 regains control of himself and vomits. D-1741-1 is ordered to attack SCP-1741-2 multiple times. D-1741-1 disobeys at first, whispering phrases such as "There is no hope", but after while goes to pick up SCP-1741-1. He stops before touching SCP-1741-1 and is in a state of shock for three (3) seconds until backing off. D-1741-1 then sits down in the corner of the cell and sobs, mumbling to himself. He is unresponsive to any orders given. After ten (10) minutes and twelve (12) seconds since torture ceased, SCP-1741-2 moves toward D-1741-1. D-1741-1 seems to know what is coming, and goes to SCP-1741-1, picking it up and shooting himself in the head. SCP-1741-2 disappears to the naked eye and stops. Personnel working around the test area, especially the personnel giving orders, reported feeling an unnatural repulsion from the test area and any interactions involving it. After the test, SCP-1741-2 cuts a small hole in its containment unit's steel wall and constructs a bullet with the steel. View of this process is obstructed by the "skin" of SCP-1741-2, which the steel seemed to sink into. The bullet is very compatible with SCP-1741-1, and could be used as a substitute for stock M1911-A1 ammunition. It is unknown whether SCP-1741-2 has propellant stored within it, or it can make propellant itself.

Analysis: Subject seems to have the goal of causing its victim to commit suicide with SCP-1741-1. Subject will begin torture when the potential victim is in an enclosed space with it. Subject can control subjects close to it. Subject seems to only allow its victims access to SCP-1741-1 if they fully intend to commit suicide with it. Subject most likely spends roughly five (5) minutes on each of its victims and gives them a break of double that time before the next session. SCP-1741-2 possesses the ability to replace any missing bullets within SCP-1741-1 by cutting and shaping steel. SCP-1741-2 also stores or can produce suitable propellant for the bullets. It is theorised that Subject also entices the victim to commit suicide through telepathy, but can not necessarily communicate with the victim. Test 1741-B - ██/██/19██ Subject: SCP-1741

Procedure: Subject is to be placed in a roofless cardboard structure with D-1741-2 in an open area. If torture does not commence, a tarp will be draped over the structure. If torture commences and D-1741-2 cannot escape, D-1741-3 will be ordered to break the structure from the outside. If he cannot, then it will be destroyed remotely.

Results: Torture does not commence. A tarp is draped over the cardboard structure and testing begins again. Torture commences. First torture session lasts five (5) minutes an six (6) seconds. D-1741-2 ordered to escape from the cardboard structure. D-1741-2 refuses at first. When offered complete freedom if he escapes, D-1741-2 attempts to kick through the structure. He tenses up in a state of shock for four (4) seconds until crumpling to the ground, visibly shaken. D-1741-3 ordered to destroy the cardboard structure. He approaches it hesitantly, reporting the experience to be "extremely scary". D-1741-3 complies and smashes through the structure. SCP-1741-2 disappears and torture ceases. D-1741-3 then picks up SCP-1741-1 and makes an escape attempt. He is terminated immediately. Besides an expected amount of mental trauma, D-1741-2 had no abnormalities after the test.

Analysis: When with one victim, torture sessions last exactly five (5) minutes and six (6) seconds. It is confirmed that anyone in the vicinity or anyone interacting with the process from the outside is repelled by a form of telepathy emanating from SCP-1741. If a victim attempts to escape, they will be in a state of shock for a few seconds, experiencing something that convinces them not to do it again. Torture will only commence if subject is in an enclosed space with its victim. If torture is interrupted, SCP-1741-2 will disappear and torture will cease. Test 1741-C - ██/██/19██ Subject: SCP-1741-2

Procedure: Black lights are to be trained on Subject. SCP-1741 is to be placed in an open area. Personnel 1-2338 is to be instructed to shoot Subject in the left shoulder with a sniper rifle.

Results: The bullet goes through the left shoulder of Subject. Subject staggers back, and its arm goes limp. Red is seen for a split second, but the wound is quickly covered by Subject. Subject bleeds black/transparent blood for nineteen (19) seconds. After about an hour, the blood becomes visible to the naked eye and is the color of normal blood. After four days, Subject's arm seems to be in perfect condition. The blood is DNA tested and found to be the blood of Marco █████████, a Russian man who went missing in the [Data Expunged].

Analysis: Subject is a parasitic entity that is currently completely covering and possessing the body of Marco █████████. Subject can be harmed, but heals faster than an ordinary human. Subject can be harmed from a distance without any effect to the person harming it. The fact that Marco █████████'s disappearance was related to [Data Expunged], indicates that SCP-1741 can commence torture with up to six people at once, and that small children will not be direct victims of SCP-1741, but it is likely that they will die during the process as a form of emotional torture to others. The evidence also suggests that SCP-1741 can switch hosts. An investigative search for the identity and body of the former host has now commenced. Test 1741-D - ██/██/19██ Subject: SCP-1741

Procedure: D-1741-2 and D-1741-4 to D-1741-12 are to be in a furnished structure with many rooms and windows showing outside. It is to be noted that D-1741-11 has Down syndrome and does not understand the concept of suicide. The structure is to be stocked with food and water. All doors within the structure are to be closed, with the D-Class in separate rooms, and Subject in a separate room within the structure. If torture does not commence, open one door at a time, opening subject to the D-Class. The last door opened shall be the door furthest from Subject. If torture does not commence, cover windows and try again. If torture still does not commence, remove D-Class one at a time from the structure, starting with D-1741-11.

Results: After the third last door is opened, SCP-1741-2 opens the last two (2) doors itself and torture commences. SCP-1741-2 spends five (5) minutes and six (6) seconds on each victim, forcing the victims to use various objects to harm themselves, usually in a creative manner. SCP-1741-2 goes from one victim to another without stopping, torturing its victims one at a time. Torture methods include [REDACTED]. D-1741-11 is not directly tortured by SCP-1741-2. D-Class create an unexpected emotional bond with each other over the coarse of the test, they do not make any load noises and seem to be restricted to a whisper, and they avoid windows showing the outside. D-1741-2 commits suicide with SCP-1741-2 two (2) minutes into the test. After the first torture session is complete, SCP-1741-2 shapes a steel spoon into a replacement bullet. When the bullet is loaded into SCP-1741-1, torture resumes. Twelve (12) minutes into test, D-1741-9 commits suicide with SCP-1741-1. Twenty one (21) minutes into the test, D-1741-5 commits suicide with SCP-1741-1. Thirty four (34) minutes into test, D-1741-11 is killed. Forty five (45) minutes into the test, the remaining D-Class commit suicide with SCP-1741-1.

Analysis: Due to its creative and effective torture methods, Subject is now to be considered sentient. Subject will begin torture with up to eight potential victims present. SCP-1741-2 will manipulate its surroundings to close off an area before torture, if it can accomplish this quickly. Victims are restricted to making loud noises, and they will avoid windows showing the outside. People that do not understand the concept of suicide will not become direct victims of Subject, and are treated like items to Subject. Subject will torture victims for five (5) minutes and six (6) seconds, and when with five (5) to eight (8) victims at a time, SCP-1741-1 will move from one victim to another without stopping, except if it is making a bullet. When dealing with seven victims or higher, SCP-1741-2 will produce enough bullets during the torture so that the magazine is empty by the end. SCP-1741-2 will reload the bullets it needs as soon as it can. Test 1741-E - ██/██/19██ Subject: SCP-1741-2

Procedure: SCP-1741-1 is to be emptied of ammunition. SCP-1741 is to be placed in a room made of fabric. The room shall contain 7.5 grams of each of these items: paper, hardwood, copper, quartz, diamond, hard plastic, and corundum. If Subject is still for thirty (30) minutes at any point during the test, add six (6) .45 bullets and 7.5 grams of lead.

Results: Subject produces four bullets from the quartz, hard plastic, copper, and hardwood. The bullets and lead are added. After producing a lead bullet, Subject replaces the bullets in SCP-1741-1 with the new bullets. Each of the bullets made by Subject are compatible with SCP-1741-1, although not as effective as the stock ammunition. The propellant is unique for each bullet. The wooden bullet's propellant consists of [REDACTED].

Analysis: Subject can produce a suitable replacement bullets for SCP-1741-1 from a wide range of materials, including steel, quartz, copper, wood, lead, and plastic, and it will replace bullets made from less suitable materials if better materials are added. Test 1741-F - ██/██/19██ Subject: SCP-1741

Procedure: SCP-1741-1 is to be disassembled. Seven .45 bullets and 3 kg of steel are to be left beside Subject. While D-9002 is in Subject's containment unit, the door is to be held open, and when she leaves, it is to be immediately closed. D-9002 is to take SCP-1741-1's magazine outside of the containment unit, come back in with the magazine, then leave with it again. If possible, D-9002 is to then take each part out one (1) at a time from smallest to largest, starting with the slide stop and ending with the receiver. Subject is then to be left alone until SCP-1741-2 has ceased movement for thirty (30) minutes.

Results: Magazine is successfully taken away from containment cell without incident. While carrying every other part, D-9002 is unable to leave the containment cell. D-9002 goes stiff as soon as she reaches the doorway, experiencing what would happen to a victim of Subject if they attempted to escape during torture, excluding any mental trauma. D-9002 reports that she is only able to move if she decides to cease the action of leaving, and that she is convinced that nothing out of the ordinary happened. SCP-1741-2 reassembles SCP-1741-1, shapes a new magazine for it, and loads it with the provided bullets.

Analysis: SCP-1741-1 includes every part of the gun, except for the magazine, which is replaceable. Test 1741-G - ██/██/19██ Subject: SCP-1741

Procedure: Forty three (43) D-Class personnel are standing by for this test. Any one of them participating are to be notified of what to expect, so as to avoid unnecessary mental trauma or death. One at a time, D-class are to enter a structure containing Subject, and the door is to be closed behind them. The door is to be opened if SCP-1741-2 becomes visible. Eight (8) D-class shall start out in the structure. If SCP-1741-2 does not become visible after the door is closed, one D-class already in the structure shall exit and enter the structure five (5) times, shutting the door behind him or her each time they leave or enter.

Results: SCP-1741-2 does not become visible after the twenty seventh (27th) D-class enters, but does become visible with twenty six (26) people or less in the structure.

Analysis: Subject will begin torture with no more than twenty six (26) potential victims. Test 1741-H - ██/██/19██ Subject: SCP-1741

Procedure: D-1741-13, who is diagnosed with congenital insensitivity to pain, D-1741-14, a devout Catholic, and D-1741-15 a masochist, are to enter a structure containing Subject, with the door closed behind them. The D-Class are to be notified of what to expect during the test. The D-class are to be ordered to yell as loud as they can as soon as the test begins. The structure is to be provided with comfortable furniture and bedding, water, and an adequate amount of high quality food to feed the D-class for a week. The D-class may request any food items of their choice before the test begins.

Results: Immediately after the door is closed, the D-class' voices drop to 53.5 dB. This level of sound is never surpassed by the D-class throughout the coarse of the test. SCP-1741-2 begins torture as usual, going from one (1) victim to the next without stopping. After twenty four (24) hours, thirty one (31) minutes, D-1741-14 commits suicide with SCP-1741-1. With two (2) victims, D-1741-2 gives each individual a break of ten (10) minutes and twelve (12) seconds between each torture session, resulting in five (5) minutes and six (6) seconds of the victims being together until torture begins again. Twenty six (26) hours, fifty nine (59) minutes into the test, D-1741-13 commits suicide with SCP-1741-1. Thirty one (31) hours, six (6) minutes into the test, SCP-1741-2 ceases torture and stands over D-1741-15. Four (4) minutes later, D-1741-15 dies from his injuries sustained during torture. SCP-1741-2 then begins transferring hosts. The old host, confirmed to be Marco █████████ , becomes conscious as soon as SCP-1741-2 has completely left his body. He is completely naked and without any sign of injury or malnutrition. He is shocked and confused at first, but he soon becomes happy and relieved. Although Mr. █████████ became possessed by SCP-1741-2 over [REDACTED] years ago, he appears the same age as when he was first possessed. As it is moving from host to host, SCP-1741-2 appears to be a pitch black, smoky liquid. As it is covering D-1741-15, SCP-1741-2 becomes invisible to the naked eye. Three (3) hours later, SCP-1741-2 stands up.

Analysis: If a victim dies without committing suicide during torture, they will become SCP-1741-2's new host. SCP-1741-2 is able to fully revive and heal its host from mortal wounds and recent death. While torture is underway, victims will be unable to make any noise exceeding 53.5 dB. SCP-1741-2 is able to sustain its victim for an indefinite amount of time, even preventing them from aging.
