| SCP-XXX-2095 |
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Each contained instance of SCP-XXX is to be stored in a separate cell. Instances of SCP-XXX are not allowed to access writing implements, any other SCP object which pertains to writing in any way or instruments otherwise related to writing at any time. Wooden objects, bar instances of SCP-XXX, are strictly forbidden in any cell containing an instance of SCP-XXX. No more than 3 ordinary instances of SCP-XXX are to be contained, and any further instances are to be incinerated.
Description: Each instance of SCP-XXX is an animate sculpture usually made entirely of apparently normal pencils. The constitution of SCP-XXX has been proven by examination of the remains of an instance of SCP-XXX. Instances of SCP-XXX have shown no need to undergo normal bodily function. This is likely related to their unusual structure, but this has not yet been proven.
Instances of SCP-XXX have the ability to make new instances of SCP-XXX by assembling writing implements. When any form of writing implement other than pencils is used, however, the instances of SCP-XXX created in this way have been shown to have extra abilities related to the items used. See Test Log XXX-1526 for further details.
Test Log XXX-1526:
Date: ██/██/20██
Writing Implement Used and number: Standard Foundation ballpoint pen (30)
Description: SCP-XXX-1426 was observed to have a different form to most instances of SCP-XXX. It had large "spines" on its back, formed of the ballpoint pens supplied for this test. When SCP-XXX-1462 was aggravated, it was observed to spray a high-pressure jet of what was assumed to be ink from one of its spines at the aggravating personnel. However, the fluid was observed to dry and harden so that the affected body part (the hand) could not be moved. This state persisted even after washing, suggesting that the "ink" may have had a neurotoxic effect as well. SCP-XXX-1462 destroyed.
Date: ██/██/20██
Writing Implement Used and number: Faint- and margin-ruled sheet of A4 paper (10)
Description: SCP-XXX-2102 had sheets of paper incorporated into its bodily structure and around the outside. When tested, this paper was shown to be able to withstand high temperature and cutting implements much better than paper of the brand used should. SCP-XXX-2012 held separate from other instances of SCP-XXX for further testing.
"Sir, our bugging's paid off, listen to this!"
"Mister Dark, we have a sighting of the train."
"Oh? Ah. I assume this is the unfortunate."
"Yes, sir."
"Well, say your piece."
"But-"
"Get on with it. I don't have much time, and I'd hate to have to kill you just because you're a stuttering buffoon."
"O-okay. I was walking down the street, and I hear this weird whistling noise. I turn to look, and suddenly my foot's gone and a wooden train is rolling down the hill. C-can I go now?"
"Excellent. Where was this?"
"I-it was just outside, uh, the mall in Milwaukee. The one off 42nd street."
"Good. Now, if you would show our guest outside, please?"
"Yes, sir. Right this way, please."
"And when you're done, put together a team to capture that train."
"Of course, sir."
"Oh, and don't use the window this time. It's messy, noisy and expensive."
"Wait, I thought I was gonna live!"
"No-one ever said that."
"I need a team ready ASAP. Give them the co-ordinates of the last sighting, get them to ask for information. If neccessary, administer amnesiacs. Classes B or C should be strong enough, assuming there are no injuries. We have got to recover that train."
"Right away, sir."
"Ah, one other thing."
"Yes, sir?"
"Be a bit more careful this time. We've been spotted too many times recently. The Foundation has been poking around. It's better if we're framed for things we didn't do, you know?"
"Certainly, sir. Should we go with the name Nobody again?"
"Hmm… Sure, why not?"
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Unknown
Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-XXX is currently uncontained, please note that there are no procedures for its containment. However, please refer to Document XXX-1042 for details on recommended procedure in the event of a possible sighting of SCP-XXX.
Description: SCP-XXX is currently lacking a definite description, due to ongoing containment efforts. However, its most recent known form is shown in the attached file, accessible only to Level 4 Clearance and higher. Should it become necessary to send out a team to capture SCP-XXX, please be informed that it may be able to take on roughly human form.
SCP-XXX is, to the Foundation’s best knowledge, a biological organism with no fixed form, which is to say, a “shapeshifter”. Reports of chimerical animals periodically surface in geologically disparate areas, leaving a trail of extranormal activity behind them when they disappear, many of which the SCP Foundation is now containing. The Foundation hypothesises that SCP-XXX is, in fact, all of these chimeras, and is some kind of Progenitor SCP, in effect “giving birth” to these items on a semi-regular basis. For this reason, it is imperative that SCP-XXX is captured and studied as soon as possible.
Be aware that SCP-XXX may be armed, and could, in fact, have infiltrated the Foundation already. If this is the case, Failsafe XXX-243 must be activated immediately.
If you suspect that another member of Foundation personnel is being impersonated by SCP-XXX, report to a Level 4 or higher member of staff immediately.

Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All records of SCP-XXX are to be limited to this document and attached files only. The obect itself is to be stored in a standard containment locker in Site ██.
Description: As no-one on-staff was found to be sufficiently resistant to SCP-XXX's effects to be able to actually write a description, we will be relying upon transcripts of Audio Logs to provide the necessary detail.
Audio Log 1
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr ██████ (over intercom): Describe the object, please.
D-XXX-1: It's an empty costume. It's an empty… oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god oh god oh god oh GOD IT'S BEHIND ME
At this point, D-XXX-1 began whimpering and could not be coaxed to continue with the recording in any manner. When guards entered, she was found to be curled up on the floor, and was removed from the room and terminated.
[END LOG]
Video Log 1
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr ██████: Describe the object, please.
D-XXX-3: Okay. It's an empty gorilla costu… Wait. I think there's someone else in the room.
Dr ██████ (over intercom): There is no-one else in the room with you, D-XXX-3. Carry on.
D-XXX-3: Well, okay. If you say so.
It should be noted that after this point, D-XXX-3 repeatedly showed signs of agitation, looking over his shoulder and shifting nervously in his chair.
D-XXX-3: It's made for an adult. It has a mask. It has gloves. It… I can't do this, I can't, I can't, I can't.
From the tone of his voice, D-XXX-3 is close to breaking down in tears.
Dr ██████: If you are unable to continue, we will be forced to terminate you.
D-XXX-3: I DON'T CARE! Get it away!
D-XXX-3 retreated to a corner of the room and was terminated.
[END LOG]
Video Log 4
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr ██████: Please put the object on and sit in the chair.
D-XXX-7 does so.
D-XXX-7: Wow, it fits really well!
Dr ██████: Now, decribe the object, please.
D-XXX-7: Sure. It's a gorilla suit, from what I can see. It doesn't seem to be particularly special.
Dr ██████: Hmm. Now, take the object off.
D-XXX-7 removes the mask, then pauses.
D-XXX-7: Is there a camera in this room? Only I could swear I saw something move.
Dr ██████: There are cameras in this room, yes. Carry on.
Note that visual logs are available for the test, and show nothing other than the mask on the floor, D-XXX-7 wearing the gorilla suit minus mask and the chair in the room.
D-XXX-7 removes the gloves and trousers of the suit, becoming increasingly agitated. When he goes to remove the top, he gets it over his head and collapses.
Dr ██████: D-XXX-7? D-XXX-7!
D-XXX-7 begins to rock from side to side. Careful analysis of audio logs shows he is crying, presumably from fear.
D-XXX-7 is removed from the room by a guard. The top is removed from him and he is terminated.
[END LOG]
I've been losing sleep.
I don't know why, and I don't know how I know, but I just know that I'm losing sleep. I get up just as tired as when I went to bed, and go to bed even more tired.
It's been getting worse recently, and I'm not sure I'll ever truely recover.
I've also been having weird dreams. They're perfectly normal, but that's why they're weird. For example, I'll dream that I got up, went to work, worked a full day, came back and went to bed. I'll dream that the weekend went by as usual. I'll dream that I went on holiday. I'll dream that I got married.
The thing is, I've been losing time, too.
