Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
All known instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be housed in heavily reinforced humanoid containment cells using strong materials capable of withstanding high speed impact by furniture sized objects. Instances are to be split between at least 2 containment sites and at least one instance must be present at each of these containment sites at all times to ensure that emergencies at one site cannot result in the termination of all extant instances of SCP-XXXX-1. Containment cells must be equipped with telekinetic dampening fields on standby to be activated in the event of an attempted containment breach. Any creation of clones expressing the SCP-XXXX-1 genome for purposes other than compliance with the above containment mandate must be approved by the lead researcher assigned to SCP-XXXX-1, and can be vetoed by the site director or 05 command.
In compliance with directive XXXX-1-12, all instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are granted permission to freely roam around the facility in designated areas, such as recreational zones, common rooms, and certain non-critical facility sections. This permission is contingent on good behavior, and can be temporarily overruled if a particular instance is needed for research purposes. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are permitted to engage in casual interaction with site staff within these designated areas, provided they do not interfere with the ability of the site staff to perform their professional duties.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are allowed to personalize their containment quarters with approved decorations and furniture, and requests for personalized furniture, attire, and decorations can be submitted through the head researcher assigned to SCP-XXXX. In compliance with directive XXXX-1-12, most requests are to be approved unless they pose a security risk, interfere with research objectives, or have an unacceptably high cost. When approval is not granted, an explanation of the reason for the denial of the request must be given to the instance who initiated the request.
Strength training of SCP-XXXX-1 instances requires unanimous approval by the O5 Council and can be revoked at any time by even a single member of 05 Command. In the event that permission for strength training is revoked, all training activities are to be immediately ceased and the individual in charge of the research team must compile a full report on the results of the training up to the point where permission was revoked. Training can then only be re-instated with new unanimous approval by the 05 Council. Unapproved strength training of an SCP-XXXX-1 instance is grounds for immediate and severe disciplinary action up to and including demotion to D-Class.
SCP-XXXX-2 individuals must be continuously monitored by Foundation personnel embedded in civilian infrastructure, and all children born to them must undergo genetic testing and have their complete genomes compared to the stored sequence of SCP-XXXX stored on the Foundation database. If a positive match is found, the child is to be immediately secured and transported to the nearest site containing other instances of SCP-XXXX-1. Class B amnestics are to then be administered to the child's parents and any other related persons, and all public records of the child are to be altered or expunged.
In the event of a containment breach involving an aggressive instance of SCP-XXXX-1, nonlethal measures are to be used to regain containment unless use of lethal force is deemed necessary by the individual in charge of the team sent to re-contain the instance. If containment of an SCP-XXXX-1 instance is deemed unachievable through standard protocols, Mobile Task Force Omega-7 ("Pandora's Box") may be authorized to intervene, with the primary objective of neutralizing the immediate threat and minimizing casualties.
In the event of a containment breach involving other aggressive anomalies, Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are permitted to use their anomalous abilities to protect foundation personnel in their immediate vicinity without fear of disciplinary action, however they are not permitted to neutralize anomalies entirely.
In cases of containment breaches involving instances of SCP-XXXX-1, regardless of whether the instance was hostile or helpful, a detailed report is to be compiled after the fact with post-incident reviews conducted to assess the effectiveness of current containment measures and implement necessary adjustments.
Direct physical contact exceeding a duration of 3 seconds with SCP-XXXX-1 instances is strictly regulated and only permitted under controlled conditions, such as medical examinations or approved testing sessions to prevent activation of the "soothing touch" ability. During interactions where contact durations greater than 3 seconds is inevitable, such as medical examinations or approved testing sessions, personnel must wear protective attire, including gloves made of tightly woven or solid materials that prevent the activation of the ability. Exceptions to this rule can be made at the behest of the lead researcher assigned to SCP-XXXX for any of the following reasons: research of the "soothing touch" ability, de-escalation in the event that an SCP-XXXX-1 instance is agitated and the use of gloves to prevent contact would pose communication barriers, or during medical emergencies where the pain nullifying effect of the ability is deemed necessary for the subject's well-being. Any deviations from expected outcomes during these exceptions are to be reported immediately for further analysis, and any exceptions for reasons not listed above must be approved by the site director.
Directive XXXX-1-12 — The Appeasement Protocol
SCP-XXXX-1-12, designated "Kara," is a power-trained instance of SCP-XXXX-1 with telekinetic capabilities powerful enough to easily break containment if she chooses to do so. In alignment with the generally benevolent nature of SCP-XXXX-1 instances, Kara has expressed willingness to stay in Foundation custody and even her agreement with the Foundation's stance on containing powerful anomalies like herself and keeping them away from civilian populations and world governments. In return for this compliance, she asks only for more favorable treatment for herself and other SCP-XXXX-1 instances. This is to include extra amenities, expanded socialization privileges, and the ability to form casual friendships with research staff, interact with certain Safe-class anomalies, and move freely within designated facility areas, provided they remain well-behaved and cooperative with Foundation research and containment protocols. Because the measures that would be required to contain SCP-XXXX-1-12 against her will would be extremely expensive, especially compared to the cost of accepting her deal, the O5 Council has approved her request under Directive XXXX-1-12, also known as the "Appeasement Protocol."
Description:
SCP-XXXX refers to a specific permutation of the human genome resulting in individuals exhibiting multiple anomalous properties. Individuals exhibiting this specific permutation of genes are referred to as SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Phenotypically, SCP-XXXX-1 instances present as Caucasian females, with golden blonde hair and blue irises, and are often rated as highly attractive by conventional human standards. Anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX-1 instances do not manifest until post-pubescence, with the notable exception of a heightened metabolic rate present from birth. This metabolic rate is approximately three times that of a high-level female athlete of equivalent age.
Any human born with this specific permutation of genes will exhibit the anomalous properties associated with this SCP, regardless of whether they are the result of natural birth or of cloning. Under normal circumstances, when the anomaly of this genome is left to its own devices, there will only ever be one instance of SCP-XXXX-1 at a time. The only way for multiple instances to exist simultaneously is through the process of cloning.
Upon completion of puberty, SCP-XXXX-1 instances will gradually develop 2 obvious anomalous abilities:
The first ability, which sometimes begins to appear in the later stages of puberty, before the process is totally complete, is designated "soothing touch". This ability nullifies physical pain and discomfort with all subjects upon direct, skin-to-skin contact with instances of SCP-XXXX-1. This ability also works on all other species on which it has been tested, including both common animals and biologically based animal and human-like anomalies. The effect takes 3-5 seconds to reach full strength after initial contact, and an additional 3-5 seconds to fully fade away after contact is terminated. There is currently a test pending approval to determine if prolonged exposure to this effect over multiple days, weeks, or months has additional effects, as well as whether or not this ability can be strength trained similar to how the other ability can.
The second ability is telekinetic in nature. This initially manifests shortly after the completion of puberty and is limited to very small objects at the time of first emergence. After years of training, however, this ability has been demonstrated to be able to increase to alarming levels. (See Addenda XXXX-107)
A third anomalous trait becomes evident after several decades of observation of an SCP-XXXX-1 instance, and that is a lack of visible aging. Following the completion of full physical maturity, SCP-XXXX-1 instances maintain a state of permanent physiological prime, showing no signs of the typical aging process observed in non-anomalous humans. Over extended periods, they do not develop the expected age-related physical markers, such as wrinkles, graying hair, or loss of muscle tone, nor do they exhibit the health problems that typically arise as a result of the aging process. This apparent biological stasis lasts for the entire remaining duration of their lifespan, until roughly one week before their death, at which point they experience the equivalent of roughly 10 years of age related deterioration every 24-hours. This process of deterioration occurs so quickly that their external appearance never manages to catch up with what would be expected of a non-anomalous human of equivalent age, instead being far more comparable to a 30-40 year old non-anomalous individual.
An unconfirmed fourth ability has been proposed to explain multiple strange occurrences involving SCP-XXXX-1 instances demonstrating awareness of information they should not have had access to, however, the exact nature of this ability, if it exists at all, is entirely within the realm of speculation as of the compiling of this document. This information includes indications of restlessness during ongoing containment breaches before announcements reached their part of the facility and inexplicable knowledge of dangerous SCPs and the threat they pose to human life, especially those contained at the same site as the SCP-XXXX-1 instances in question. Further study is required, and currently pending approval, to determine whether this ability exists and its extent if applicable.
Addendum:
(multiple ideas for this section already in development, will be added pending greenlight)
Revision 3 of the sandbox contains the first version with signs of AI generation. Revision 9 adds the ConProcs (also with signs of AI generation) and Revision 12 rewrites a good amount of the article but includes additional details seemingly created using AI generation. The most current iteration is Revision 13.

Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]
Description:
SCP-xxxx refers to a specific permutation of the human genome resulting in individuals exhibiting multiple anomalous properties. Individuals exhibiting this specific permutation of genes are referred to as SCP-xxx-1 instances. Phenotypically, SCP-xxxx-1 instances present as Caucasian females, with golden blonde hair and blue irises, and are often rated as highly attractive by conventional human standards. Anomalous properties of SCP-xxxx do not manifest until post-pubescence, with the exception of a heightened metabolic rate present from birth. This metabolic rate is approximately three times that of a high-level female athlete of equivalent age.
Upon completion of puberty, SCP-xxxx-1 instances develop two primary anomalous abilities. The first ability, designated as “soothing touch,” allows SCP-xxxx-1 instances to alleviate pain and discomfort in any living subject upon direct skin contact. This effect ceases within seconds of contact termination, with the subject’s sensations returning to their pre-contact state. Regular and prolonged physical contact over long periods of time seems to cause a more general positive feeling in subjects that persists even when SCP-xxxx is not present though further testing is needed to determine whether this is an additional anomalous effect or merely a side effect of experiencing less pain than you otherwise would.
The second ability is telekinetic in nature. Initial manifestations are limited to minor manipulation of small objects; however, with training and practice, SCP-xxxx-1 instances have demonstrated the capability to exert telekinetic force on a massive scale, including the manipulation of structures as large as skyscrapers. As of the writing of this document, the upper limits of this telekinetic ability are unknown, but there are some glaring shortcomings in it, the most notable of these is that the more force they exert, the less precise they can be with what they are manipulating and how they move it. Another shortcoming is more of a necessary side effect of the second law of thermodynamics, "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". When manipulating objects with significant weights to their own, SCP-xxxx-1 instances must learn to anchor themselves telekinetically with something much heavier than themselves, or they will end up moving themselves along with the object, or even just themselves if the object is significantly heavier then them.
SCP-xxxx-1 instances exhibit an anomalous aging process. After reaching full physical maturity, instances remain in a state of permanent physiological prime. Biological aging resumes only during the final days of their lifespan, condensing the equivalent of entire decades of normal age deterioration into individual 24-hour periods. This process happens so quickly that the instances outward appearance doesn’t have time to reach something consistent with their actual age, instead appearance at time of death is generally consistent with what would be expected from non-anomalous individuals aged 30-40. SCP-xxxx-1 instances exhibit no anomalous responses to disease or injury.
Detailed Personality Profile:
Psychological evaluation of SCP-xxxx-1 instances, compiled from extensive interviews and behavioral analyses, reveals a consistent personality archetype characterized by elevated levels of empathy, altruism, and agreeableness, suggesting a genetic predisposition to these traits. The following profile is constructed from data gathered from [DATA EXPUNGED] SCP-xxxx-1 instances under Foundation custody.
Agreeableness:
SCP-xxxx-1 instances score exceptionally high on metrics of agreeableness, displaying a pronounced tendency toward cooperative and compassionate behaviors. They consistently demonstrate a strong preference for harmonious social interactions and exhibit an aversion to conflict. During observational periods, SCP-xxxx-1 instances have been noted to go out of their way to mediate disputes and offer assistance to others, even when such actions are not directly beneficial to themselves.
Empathy and Altruism:
SCP-xxxx-1 instances exhibit an acute sensitivity to the emotional states of others. They demonstrate an innate ability to recognize and respond to distress, often engaging in comforting behaviors without prompting. Instances have shown a pronounced tendency to prioritize the well-being of others over their own safety, including instances where their own anomalous abilities are utilized to alleviate suffering. This empathy extends to non-humanoid subjects, as SCP-xxxx-1 instances have been observed attempting to comfort animals and, in some cases, inanimate objects that they perceive as "hurt."
Conscientiousness:
SCP-xxxx-1 instances exhibit high levels of conscientiousness, often displaying meticulousness and a strong sense of duty. They adhere to routines and exhibit a preference for environments that are organized and predictable. This conscientiousness extends to their use of anomalous abilities; SCP-xxxx-1 instances have shown reluctance to engage in large scale usage of their telekinetic powers unless they are sufficiently confident that doing so will not cause harm to others. This behavioral trait significantly mitigates the potential risk posed by their telekinetic capabilities, however it does not eliminate it entirely.
Emotional Stability:
Despite their high empathy levels, SCP-xxxx-1 instances maintain a remarkable degree of emotional stability. Instances demonstrate a capacity to remain calm and composed even in high-stress situations. However, this stability is contingent on the ethical context of their environment. When placed in situations where they are required or coerced to inflict harm, SCP-xxxx-1 instances may experience acute psychological distress, leading to aggressive or defiant behavior. Such instances have resulted in [REDACTED] containment breaches, necessitating modifications to containment protocols.
Openness to Experience:
SCP-xxxx-1 instances show moderate levels of openness, particularly in relation to pro-social activities and experiences that involve helping others. They display curiosity and a desire to understand the emotions and needs of those around them. However, instances exhibit resistance to experiences that involve conflict, harm, or the use of their abilities in ways they deem unethical.
Response to Authority:
While generally compliant and cooperative, SCP-xxxx-1 instances' response to authority is strongly influenced by their perception of the ethical implications of directives given. They will readily follow instructions that align with their pro-social disposition but exhibit resistance to orders perceived as causing harm. In extreme cases, SCP-xxxx-1 instances have been consistently shown to exhibit violent opposition to directives interpreted as malevolent, often manifesting in attempts to use their telekinetic abilities to attack the individual giving the orders, or if the orders are delivered over an electronic speaker, to disable said speaker. These tendencies necessitate the presence of personnel trained in de-escalation techniques during any direct interaction with SCP-xxxx-1 instances.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
All known instances of SCP-xxxx-1 are to be housed in heavily reinforced humanoid containment cells. These cells are to be situated in close proximity to anomalies classified as non-hostile and perceived as non-malevolent by SCP-xxxx-1 instances. The selection of these neighboring anomalies must consider both stability and resilience to potential telekinetic disturbances. Anomalies selected for this purpose must exhibit no reactive behaviors that could inadvertently provoke SCP-xxxx-1 instances. SCP-xxxx-1 instances must be made aware of the identities and general nature of these neighboring anomalies to establish the intended deterrent effect against large-scale telekinetic actions.
SCP-xxxx-1 instances are to be allowed regular casual interaction with one another to promote a stable social environment. Interaction sessions should be monitored remotely through one-way observation windows reinforced for structural integrity to withstand unintended telekinetic forces. SCP-xxxx-1 instances are to be granted a moderate level of privacy, provided it does not conflict with ongoing research objectives or containment requirements. This privacy may include designated personal quarters where instances can engage in solitary activities without direct supervision, subject to regular checks to ensure compliance with containment protocols.
To facilitate the expression of individuality among SCP-xxxx-1 instances, who may otherwise be perceived as genetically identical, requests for extra amenities (e.g., personal decorations, varied attire, or unique recreational items) may be submitted. Approval of such requests is at the discretion of the head researcher assigned to SCP-xxxx, provided these amenities do not compromise containment security or interfere with research objectives. Encouraging individuality is intended to reduce the likelihood of distress and improve compliance with containment protocols.
Daily Interaction Protocol: SCP-xxxx-1 instances must undergo daily psychological evaluations and interaction sessions to ensure mental well-being and compliance. These evaluations are to be conducted by personnel trained in advanced psychology, with a specialization in empathy, conflict resolution, and an in-depth understanding of the personality profile that is shared among instances of SCP-xxxx-1, as well as the subtle differences between currently extant instances. Evaluations must be logged and reviewed weekly by Level 4 personnel to identify any emerging behavioral patterns indicating potential breach risks.
Recreational Facilities: SCP-xxxx-1 instances are provided access to controlled recreational areas designed to reduce stress and allow for physical exercise. Limited telekinetic practice is permitted within these areas under strict supervision. Telekinetic practice sessions are monitored through visual surveillance and telekinetic output sensors calibrated to detect any escalation in telekinetic strength beyond approved limits. These sensors are programmed to automatically initiate countermeasures, such as localized telekinetic dampening fields, if necessary. Recreational environments must be free of objects that could facilitate large-scale telekinetic disturbances, with small, manipulable items provided to encourage low-level telekinetic engagement safely.
Direct Physical Contact: Direct physical contact with SCP-xxxx-1 instances is to be minimized. When contact is unavoidable (e.g., during medical examinations), personnel must wear gloves made of tightly woven or solid materials that completely prevent direct skin contact, ensuring that the "soothing touch" effect is not activated. Even very thin materials are sufficient to block this ability, provided there are no microscopic gaps in coverage.
Command Authority: Only personnel with Level 4 clearance may issue direct commands to SCP-xxxx-1 instances. Commands must align with SCP-xxxx-1's pro-social disposition, avoiding language that could be interpreted as coercive or harmful. Any commands involving actions likely to provoke resistance require prior authorization from an ethics committee. These directives must be accompanied by a detailed contingency plan outlining procedures for managing potential violent resistance, including personnel withdrawal protocols and the activation of telekinetic dampening fields.
Monitoring of SCP-xxxx-2 Individuals: SCP-xxxx-2 individuals (siblings and descendants of SCP-xxxx-1) are subject to covert surveillance via Foundation assets embedded within civilian infrastructures, including medical, educational, and social services. Regular genetic screenings and psychological evaluations are to be conducted discreetly to detect early signs of SCP-xxxx manifestation. SCP-xxxx-2 individuals must remain unaware of their connection to SCP-xxxx to avoid undue distress and potential public exposure of the Foundation's activities.
Emergency Protocol: Should all SCP-xxxx-1 instances be eliminated, a rapid-response team must immediately secure the next SCP-xxxx-2 individual exhibiting signs of anomalous manifestation. This individual is to be contained under the same protocols as SCP-xxxx-1 instances to ensure a seamless transition in containment measures.
Enhanced Containment Security Measures:
Automated Countermeasures: Containment areas are equipped with automated countermeasures, such as telekinetic dampening fields and rapid-deployment restraints. These systems are programmed to activate in response to unauthorized large-scale telekinetic activity, initiating lockdown procedures in adjacent sections to contain SCP-xxxx-1 within the compromised area.
Alert System: A real-time alert system is in place to monitor significant changes in telekinetic activity or psychological state among SCP-xxxx-1 instances. This system is linked to the containment oversight team, ensuring immediate notification of potential breaches or behavioral shifts.
Description:
SCP-xxxx refers to a specific permutation of the human genome resulting in individuals exhibiting multiple anomalous properties. Individuals exhibiting this specific permutation of genes are referred to as SCP-xxxx-1 instances. Phenotypically, SCP-xxxx-1 instances present as Caucasian females, with golden blonde hair and blue irises, and are often rated as highly attractive by conventional human standards. Anomalous properties of SCP-xxxx-1 instances do not manifest until post-pubescence, with the notable exception of a heightened metabolic rate present from birth. This metabolic rate is approximately three times that of a high-level female athlete of equivalent age.

Under normal circumstances, when the anomaly of this genome is left to its own devices, there will only ever be one instance of SCP-xxxx-1 at a time. The only way to create multiple instances simultaneously is through the process of cloning.
Upon completion of puberty, SCP-xxxx-1 instances will begin to develop two primary anomalous abilities. The first ability, designated as “soothing touch,” allows SCP-xxxx-1 instances to alleviate pain and discomfort in any living subject upon direct skin contact.

Regular and prolonged physical contact over long periods of time seems to cause a more general positive feeling in subjects that persists even when SCP-xxxx is not present though further testing is needed to determine whether this is an additional anomalous effect or merely a side effect of experiencing less pain than you otherwise would.
The second anomalous ability of SCP-xxxx-1 instances is telekinetic in nature. Initial manifestations are limited to the manipulation of small objects; however, with dedicated training and practice, SCP-xxxx-1 instances have demonstrated the capacity to exert telekinetic force on a massive scale, including the manipulation of structures as large as skyscrapers. The upper limits of this telekinetic ability remain undetermined, though significant shortcomings have been observed.
The most notable limitation is a direct inverse relationship between the force exerted and the precision of manipulation. As telekinetic force output increases, SCP-xxxx-1 instances exhibit a marked decrease in control over the target's movement and positioning. Furthermore, a secondary limitation arises from the principles of classical mechanics: "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." When manipulating objects of considerable mass, SCP-xxxx-1 instances must anchor themselves telekinetically to a mass substantially greater than their own. Failure to do so results in the SCP-xxxx-1 instance being displaced instead of the target object, or in cases where the object vastly outweighs the instance, results solely in the instance's displacement.
In the absence of specialized training, SCP-xxxx-1 instances rarely exhibit telekinetic output levels exceeding the manipulation of objects comparable in size and mass to fully loaded tractor-trailers. Advanced telekinetic proficiency requires rigorous conditioning and control exercises, indicating a potential avenue for containment strategies centered on managing and limiting their telekinetic development.
SCP-xxxx-1 instances exhibit an anomalous aging process. After reaching full physical maturity, instances remain in a state of permanent physiological prime. Biological aging resumes only during the final days of their lifespan, condensing the equivalent of entire decades of normal age deterioration into individual 24-hour periods. This process happens so quickly that the instances outward appearance doesn’t have time to reach something consistent with their actual age, instead appearance at time of death is generally consistent with what would be expected from non-anomalous individuals aged 30-40. SCP-xxxx-1 instances exhibit no anomalous responses to disease or injury.

These tendencies necessitate the presence of personnel trained in de-escalation techniques during any direct interaction with SCP-xxxx-1 instances.
In the event that all known SCP-xxxx-1 instances are eliminated, the anomalous properties of SCP-xxxx will manifest in the next child born to one of the siblings of a previous SCP-xxxx-1 instance. Consequently, individuals who are siblings of SCP-xxxx-1 instances, as well as their descendants, are collectively designated as SCP-xxxx-2 and are subject to Foundation monitoring.
The extent of SCP-xxxx's genetic persistence remains undetermined. It is hypothesized that, in the absence of SCP-xxxx-2 individuals, the anomaly may potentially manifest in the next-closest living relative. However, this hypothesis is currently untestable due to SCP-xxxx's initial discovery within the general civilian population, and any attempts to confirm it would pose an unacceptable risk to the Foundation's operational secrecy.
Current observational data indicates that this regenerative property only activates upon the total elimination of all SCP-xxxx-1 instances. As long as at least one SCP-xxxx-1 instance remains extant, no new manifestations of SCP-xxxx have been detected within the general population.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
All known instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be housed in heavily reinforced humanoid containment cells within Site-██. These cells are to be located in a secure wing specifically designated for the containment of telekinetic entities, with each cell constructed using reinforced materials capable of withstanding high levels of telekinetic force. In addition to standard containment materials, containment cells must be equipped with telekinetic dampening fields, activated during any indication of unauthorized telekinetic activity. Access to these cells is restricted to personnel with Level 4 clearance, with entry logs maintained and reviewed weekly to monitor interactions and ensure adherence to the Appeasement Protocol.
Containment areas are arranged in proximity to anomalies classified as Safe or non-hostile, chosen specifically to promote a stable psychological environment for SCP-XXXX-1 instances. These neighboring anomalies must be selected for their stability and resilience to potential telekinetic disturbances and must be evaluated regularly to ensure that their presence does not provoke SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Additionally, each containment cell is to be outfitted with remote monitoring equipment, including high-resolution cameras and telekinetic output sensors calibrated to detect fluctuations in telekinetic energy levels. This surveillance must be continuous, with data transmitted to an off-site control room for real-time monitoring. Any deviation from established behavioral patterns, including unexpected telekinetic activity or signs of psychological distress, is to be reported immediately to the Site Director.
To prevent unintended breaches, all personnel interacting with SCP-XXXX-1 instances are required to undergo rigorous training in telekinetic anomaly management and psychological de-escalation techniques. Direct physical contact with SCP-XXXX-1 instances is strictly regulated and only permitted under controlled conditions, such as medical examinations or approved testing sessions. During such interactions, personnel must wear protective attire, including gloves made of tightly woven or solid materials that prevent the activation of the "soothing touch" ability. These interactions are to be supervised by senior researchers and recorded for subsequent analysis. Exceptions to this rule can be made at the behest of the lead researcher assigned to SCP-XXXX for any of the following reasons: research of the "soothing touch" ability, de-escalation in the event that an SCP-XXXX-1 instance is agitated, or during medical emergencies where the calming effect of the ability is deemed necessary for the subject's well-being. In such cases, personnel must be specifically trained to handle direct contact situations, and these interactions must be closely monitored and documented to ensure safety and compliance with containment protocols. Any deviations from expected outcomes during these exceptions are to be reported immediately for further analysis. Any exceptions for reasons not listed above must be approved by the site director.
Emergency protocols are in place to address potential containment breaches. In the event of a breach, on-site security teams equipped with portable telekinetic dampening devices are to be deployed to contain and de-escalate the situation. If containment of an SCP-XXXX-1 instance is deemed unachievable through standard protocols, Mobile Task Force Omega-7 ("Pandora's Box") may be authorized to intervene, with the primary objective of neutralizing the immediate threat and minimizing casualties. All containment breaches involving SCP-XXXX-1 instances are to be documented in detail, with post-incident reviews conducted to assess the effectiveness of current containment measures and implement necessary adjustments.
Monitoring of SCP-XXXX-2 individuals (siblings of SCP-XXXX-1 instances and the decedents of those siblings) is a critical component of the containment strategy. Foundation assets embedded within civilian infrastructures, including healthcare, educational, and social services, are tasked with covert surveillance of SCP-XXXX-2 individuals. All children born to SCP-XXXX-2 individuals are to have their genomes tested and compared to the base SCP-XXXX genome. In the event that a match is found, the child is to be immediately secured and transported to Site-██ for containment and monitoring under standard SCP-XXXX-1 protocols. The parents and any associated individuals are to be administered Class-B amnestics to erase any knowledge of the child's anomalous nature and subsequent removal. Any official records pertaining to the child are to be altered or expunged to prevent public awareness of the anomaly.
At least two SCP-XXXX-1 instances must be kept alive at all times and stored at separate containment sites to prevent the anomaly from re-manifesting within the civilian population. Should the number of extant SCP-XXXX-1 instances fall below this threshold, immediate cloning procedures are to be initiated to restore the minimum containment requirement. The creation of new instances via cloning for purposes other than this contingency requires approval by the lead researcher assigned to SCP-XXXX and may be vetoed by the Site Director or O5 Command if deemed unnecessary or a potential risk to containment integrity.
Strength training of an SCP-XXXX-1 instance's telekinetic abilities requires unanimous approval from the 05 Council and can be revoked at any time by even a single member of 05 Command. If strength training permission is revoked, the strength training of the SCP-XXXX-1 instance in question is to be ceased immediately, and if the SCP-XXXX-1 instance in question does not comply, telekinetic dampening fields are to be activated, and the instance is to be placed under strict observation until further notice. All personnel involved in the strength training process are to be debriefed and the instance’s enhanced capabilities are to be reassessed for potential risks to containment. Reinstatement of strength training can only occur with a new unanimous approval from the O5 Council.
All containment and monitoring efforts are subject to regular audits by the Site Ethics Committee to ensure compliance with the Foundation's standards for humane treatment as well as Directive XXXX-1-12 and to balance the potential risks and benefits of SCP-XXXX-1 containment.
Directive XXXX-1-12: The Appeasement Protocol
SCP-XXXX-1-12, designated "Kara," is a power-trained instance of SCP-XXXX-1 with telekinetic capabilities powerful enough to easily break containment if she chooses to do so. Due to the generally benevolent nature of SCP-XXXX-1 instances, Kara is willing to stay in Foundation custody and even agrees with the Foundation's assessment that powerful anomalies like herself should be monitored and kept away from civilian populations and world governments. Therefore, all she asks is for more favorable treatment for herself and other SCP-XXXX-1 instances. This is to include extra amenities, expanded socialization privileges, and the ability to form casual friendships with research staff, interact with certain Safe-class anomalies, and move freely within designated facility areas, provided they remain well-behaved and cooperative with Foundation research and containment protocols.
As part of Directive XXXX-1-12, the Appeasement Protocol, the following measures are to be implemented to maintain the cooperation and compliance of SCP-xxxx-1 instances:
Additional Amenities:
Personal Quarters: SCP-xxxx-1 instances are allowed to personalize their containment quarters with approved decorations, furnishings, and personal items. Requests for personal decorations, varied attire, or unique recreational items must be submitted through the head researcher assigned to SCP-XXXX. Most requests should be granted unless they pose a security risk, interfere with research objectives, or have an unacceptably high cost.
Enhanced Recreation: Recreational facilities available to SCP-xxxx-1 instances must include a variety of activities, such as arts and crafts, fitness equipment, and media entertainment. This is intended to promote mental well-being and reduce the likelihood of containment breaches. SCP-xxxx-1-12 ("Kara") is granted access to a broader range of activities due to her power level and compliance record, as an incentive for continued cooperation.
Socialization Privileges:
Interaction with Peers: SCP-xxxx-1 instances are permitted regular interaction with each other in designated communal areas. These areas are to be monitored remotely to ensure safety and compliance with containment procedures. Socialization sessions serve to foster a supportive environment and mitigate feelings of isolation, thereby reducing the risk of distress-induced breaches.
Interaction with Research Staff: Under the Appeasement Protocol, SCP-xxxx-1 instances may form casual friendships with select research staff members. Personnel assigned to SCP-xxxx-1 must undergo training in empathy, conflict resolution, and de-escalation techniques. Casual interactions are encouraged to maintain a positive rapport and to facilitate the gathering of behavioral data. However, staff members must maintain professional boundaries, and all interactions are to be monitored for signs of manipulation or undue influence.
Interaction with Safe-Class Anomalies:
Supervised Interaction: SCP-xxxx-1 instances may be permitted to interact with specific Safe-class anomalies under controlled conditions. These interactions must be proposed by the head researcher and approved by Level 4 personnel. The goal of these interactions is to provide additional stimulation for SCP-xxxx-1 instances and to assess the potential influence of SCP-xxxx on other anomalies. Any signs of distress or unexpected outcomes during these interactions must be reported immediately.
Freedom of Movement:
Restricted Free Movement: SCP-xxxx-1 instances are allowed limited movement within designated areas of the containment facility when well-behaved and not required for testing. These areas include recreational zones, common rooms, and certain non-critical facility sections. Movement is to be monitored via security cameras, and instances must be accompanied by a trained escort when traveling through restricted zones.
Conditions for Movement: Free movement privileges can be revoked if SCP-xxxx-1 instances exhibit aggressive behavior, refuse compliance with containment protocols, or display signs of distress that may lead to a containment breach. In such cases, instances will be returned to their individual containment cells until further evaluation.
Privileges for SCP-XXXX-1-12 ("Kara"):
Special Privileges: Due to her power level and influence among other SCP-xxxx-1 instances, Kara is granted additional privileges under the Appeasement Protocol. These include more extensive freedom of movement, a larger and more personalized living space, and access to advanced recreational facilities. Kara’s privileges serve as a model for other instances, reinforcing the idea that cooperation with the Foundation results in enhanced quality of life.
Conditional Authority: Kara may be granted limited authority to assist in managing interactions between SCP-xxxx-1 instances and Foundation personnel, serving as a mediator during conflicts or high-stress situations. This authority is contingent on her continued compliance and will be immediately revoked if she displays any behavior indicating a potential breach.
Revocation of Privileges:
Privileges granted under the Appeasement Protocol are contingent on SCP-xxxx-1 instances' adherence to containment protocols and cooperative behavior. Any instance displaying aggressive tendencies, violating containment rules, or refusing to comply with research directives will have their privileges revoked. This includes the restriction of movement, reduced socialization opportunities, and the removal of personal amenities. Privilege revocation is to be carried out with caution and under the supervision of personnel trained in de-escalation to prevent aggressive responses.
Description:
SCP-XXXX refers to a specific permutation of the human genome resulting in individuals exhibiting multiple anomalous properties. Individuals exhibiting this specific permutation of genes are referred to as SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Phenotypically, SCP-XXXX-1 instances present as Caucasian females, with golden blonde hair and blue irises, and are often rated as highly attractive by conventional human standards. Anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX-1 instances do not manifest until post-pubescence, with the notable exception of a heightened metabolic rate present from birth. This metabolic rate is approximately three times that of a high-level female athlete of equivalent age.
Any human born with this specific permutation of genes will exhibit the anomalous properties associated with this SCP, regardless of whether they are the result of natural birth or of cloning. Under normal circumstances, when the anomaly of this genome is left to its own devices, there will only ever be one instance of SCP-XXXX-1 at a time. The only way to create multiple instances simultaneously is through the process of cloning.
Upon completion of puberty, SCP-XXXX-1 instances will begin to develop two primary anomalous abilities. The first ability, designated as “soothing touch,” allows SCP-XXXX-1 instances to alleviate pain and discomfort in any living subject upon direct skin contact. This effect fades over the course of 3-5 seconds after contact termination, with the subject’s sensations returning to their pre-contact state after that time has passed. Regular and prolonged physical contact over long periods of time seems to cause a more general positive feeling in subjects that persists even when SCP-XXXX is not present though further testing is needed to determine whether this is an additional anomalous effect or merely a side effect of experiencing less pain than you otherwise would.
The second anomalous ability of SCP-XXXX-1 instances is telekinetic in nature. Initial manifestations are limited to the manipulation of small objects; however, with dedicated training and practice, SCP-XXXX-1 instances have demonstrated the capacity to exert telekinetic force on a massive scale, including the manipulation of stone blocks as large as skyscrapers. The upper limits of this telekinetic ability remain undetermined, though significant shortcomings have been observed.
The most notable limitation is a direct inverse relationship between the force exerted and the precision of manipulation. As telekinetic force output increases, SCP-XXXX-1 instances exhibit a marked decrease in control over the target's movement and positioning. Additionally, this ability is subject to the principles of classical mechanics: "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." When manipulating objects of considerable mass, SCP-XXXX-1 instances must anchor themselves telekinetically to a mass substantially greater than their own. Failure to do so results in the SCP-XXXX-1 instance being displaced along with the target object, or in cases where the object vastly outweighs the instance, results solely in the instance's displacement.
In the absence of specialized training, SCP-XXXX-1 instances typically exhibit telekinetic output levels limited to the manipulation of objects comparable in size and mass to common household furniture with trivial effort. Advanced telekinetic proficiency requires rigorous conditioning and control exercises. Consequently, containment strategies focusing on limiting the development of their telekinetic abilities have proven effective in most cases.
SCP-XXXX-1 instances exhibit an anomalous aging process. After reaching full physical maturity, instances remain in a state of permanent physiological prime. Biological aging resumes only during the final days of their lifespan, condensing the equivalent of entire decades of normal age deterioration into individual 24-hour periods. This rapid aging occurs so swiftly that the instances' outward appearance does not have time to reach an age consistent with their chronological years. As a result, SCP-XXXX-1 instances typically appear to be within the 30-40 age range at the time of death, regardless of their actual age. They exhibit no anomalous responses to disease or injury, adhering to normal human biological limitations in this regard.
Detailed Personality Profile:
Psychological evaluation of SCP-XXXX-1 instances reveals a consistent personality archetype influenced by the SCP-XXXX genome, resulting in a distinct predisposition toward specific traits as defined by the Big Five personality model. Extensive interviews and behavioral analyses of [DATA EXPUNGED] SCP-XXXX-1 instances under Foundation custody have yielded the following profile:
Agreeableness:
SCP-XXXX-1 instances exhibit moderate levels of agreeableness. While they display a pronounced tendency toward cooperation and empathy, they are not indiscriminately compliant. Instances demonstrate a clear aversion to situations or individuals they perceive as malicious or cruel. In such contexts, SCP-XXXX-1 instances can exhibit assertiveness and, in some cases, resistance to authority if they believe their actions align with preventing harm or addressing injustice. This selective agreeableness serves as both a mitigating factor in containment breaches and a potential risk when orders contradict their moral framework.
Conscientiousness:
SCP-XXXX-1 instances score highly on measures of conscientiousness, displaying a marked sense of duty, organization, and meticulousness in their behavior. They adhere to routines and demonstrate a strong preference for environments that are structured and predictable. This trait extends to the use of their anomalous abilities, as instances show a reluctance to engage in large-scale telekinetic actions without thorough consideration of potential consequences. Their conscientious nature contributes to their compliance with containment protocols, provided those protocols do not conflict with their ethical inclinations.
Openness to Experience:
SCP-XXXX-1 instances exhibit moderate levels of openness, particularly in areas that involve pro-social activities and the pursuit of knowledge or experiences aimed at assisting others. They display a noticeable curiosity about emotional states and an eagerness to understand the needs of those around them. However, instances exhibit clear resistance to experiences involving conflict, harm, or ethical compromise. This selective openness aligns with their overall predisposition toward maintaining social harmony and avoiding actions that could result in negative outcomes for others.
Emotional Stability (Neuroticism):
SCP-XXXX-1 instances are characterized by high emotional stability, showing a consistent ability to remain composed and rational in high-stress situations, including containment breaches. This emotional resilience often facilitates the de-escalation of potentially volatile scenarios. However, their stability is conditional upon their ethical environment; instances placed in situations where they are coerced into actions they perceive as unethical may experience psychological distress. This distress can manifest in forms ranging from passive resistance to active defiance, necessitating careful management of their moral and ethical context to ensure compliance.
Extraversion:
SCP-XXXX-1 instances display moderate levels of extraversion. They are typically sociable and engage positively in interactions with both fellow SCP-XXXX-1 instances and selected Foundation personnel. Their extraverted tendencies are most pronounced in environments that promote cooperation and collective well-being. However, instances refrain from assertive or dominant behaviors that may provoke conflict, instead favoring social harmony and mutual support. Their inclination toward social interaction, coupled with their aversion to conflict, contributes to their overall manageability within the containment framework.
Propagation
In the event that all known SCP-XXXX-1 instances are eliminated, the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX will manifest in the next child born to one of the siblings of a previous SCP-XXXX-1 instance. Consequently, individuals who are siblings of SCP-XXXX-1 instances, as well as their descendants, are collectively designated as SCP-XXXX-2 and are subject to Foundation monitoring.
The extent of SCP-XXXX's genetic persistence remains undetermined. It is hypothesized that, in the absence of SCP-XXXX-2 individuals, the anomaly may potentially manifest in the next-closest living relative. However, this hypothesis is currently untestable due to SCP-XXXX's initial discovery within the general civilian population with a large number of social connections. Any attempts to confirm it would pose an unacceptable risk to the Foundation's operational secrecy and are thus strictly prohibited as an avenue of research.
Current observational data indicates that this regenerative property only activates upon the total elimination of all SCP-XXXX-1 instances. As long as at least one SCP-XXXX-1 instance remains extant, no new manifestations of SCP-XXXX have been detected within the general population.
