**Item #**: SCP- 8896 The Kigin
**Object Class**: Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures**: SCP-8896 is currently under the direct oversight and watch of CPT Garuda ALP-9-2. At this time, formal cell containment is not required due to her consistent cooperation and integral role within the U.S. government's Mobile task Force "Red Right Hand". SCP-8896 resides in a designated secure living quarter within Site-17 when not under the supervision of CPT Garuda, which is monitored by Foundation security but does not constitute a traditional containment cell.
She is granted Level 3 access within the site and is permitted to move freely within designated areas under the general supervision of CPT Garuda or his appointed liaisons. For approved missions and training exercises, she operates under CPT Garuda's direct command. SCP-8896 is equipped with a standard Foundation-issue communication device and a subcutaneous tracking implant, which must remain active at all times.
Regular psychological evaluations are to be conducted bi-weekly to monitor any changes in her mental state or the influence of the possessing entity. Any deviation from her established behavioral patterns or signs of increased demonic influence are to be reported immediately to CPT Garuda and Site Director. Should SCP-8896 exhibit any signs of hostility or loss of control, emergency containment protocols, including the deployment of Class-A thaumaturgic dampeners, are authorized, and immediate re-containment to a reinforced humanoid containment cell will be initiated.
**Description**: SCP-8896 is an American female, formerly identified as [REDACTED], a highly skilled mercenary whose life before her anomalous transformation was marked by a turbulent and often violent past. Raised in a broken home and exposed to the harsh realities of urban life from a young age, she developed a fierce independence and a pragmatic, often cynical, worldview. Her early adulthood saw her drift through various illicit activities before finding her calling, or perhaps her escape, in the cutthroat world of private military contracting. This troubled past instilled in her a formidable resilience, a keen understanding of human nature's darker aspects, and a ruthless efficiency in combat, making her a highly sought-after operative despite her lack of formal military training.
Her acquisition by the Foundation followed a significant anomalous event approximately two (2) years prior. The incident occurred during a mercenary mission in [REDACTED]. SCP-8896 had been contracted to neutralize a high-ranking Yakuza enforcer, known for his involvement in anomalous trafficking, who was operating out of a heavily fortified compound. During the infiltration, SCP-8896 encountered an ancient, ritualistic chamber beneath the compound, which was being used by the Yakuza member to conduct a summoning ritual. The ritual, intended to bind a low-tier demonic entity for their own use, went catastrophically awry due to SCP-8896's interference.
As SCP-8896 engaged the Yakuza enforcer, the summoning circle destabilized, and the intended entity, along with a more powerful, previously uncontained demonic entity, manifested violently. In the ensuing chaos, the more powerful entity, later designated as a Class-IV Demonic Manifestation, forcibly possessed SCP-8896, integrating itself with her physiology and consciousness. The event resulted in a localized reality bending phenomenon and significant collateral damage, drawing the attention of Foundation assets in the region.
SCP-8896 retains most of her human appearance, with the following notable anomalies:
**Kigin Horns**: SCP-8896 possesses two (2) prominent, black and pink, keratinous horns, resembling those of an Oni, protruding from her temples. These horns are approximately 15 cm in length, extremely durable, and do not appear to cause her any pain or discomfort. They are fused with her skull and cannot be removed without extreme surgical intervention, which is currently deemed unnecessary.
**Enhanced Physical Abilities**: SCP-8896 exhibits significantly enhanced strength (capable of lifting approximately 1.5 tons), speed (able to run at speeds up to 60 km/h), and reflexes, far exceeding peak human capabilities. Her muscle density and bone structure have undergone radical alterations, making her highly resistant to blunt force trauma.
**Pyrokinesis**: SCP-8896 has demonstrated the ability to generate and manipulate flames from her hands and, to a lesser extent, from her mouth. She can control the intensity, shape, and direction of the flames, ranging from small, controlled bursts to large, destructive infernos. The maximum temperature observed from her flames is approximately 1,200°C.
**Hemovoric Sustenance**: SCP-8896 has developed a physiological need for blood consumption. While she can subsist on animal blood, human blood appears to provide a more potent and rapid replenishment of her anomalous energies. She is capable of rapidly draining a human subject of blood through direct contact, typically via elongated, sharpened canines that can extend and retract. This process is highly efficient and leaves the subject completely exsanguinated.
**Increased Resilience**: SCP-8896 displays a remarkable resistance to injury and an accelerated healing factor. She has survived incidents that would be fatal to a normal human, including high-caliber gunshot wounds, severe lacerations, and exposure to extreme temperatures, healing within minutes to hours depending on the severity.
Despite these changes, SCP-8896's core personality remains largely consistent with her pre-possession state, albeit with an added layer of supernatural influence. She is intelligent, pragmatic, and retains her dry sense of humor, often using it to deflect from the more unsettling aspects of her condition. While initially hostile towards Foundation containment efforts, she has since become cooperative, particularly after being offered a role within the U.S. government's anomalous operations.
**Rationale for Euclid Classification**:
SCP-8896 is classified as Euclid due to the unpredictable nature of the demonic entity possessing her. While SCP-8896 herself is largely cooperative, the entity's influence and intentions are not fully understood. There is a persistent risk of the entity asserting greater control over SCP-8896, potentially leading to a loss of autonomy, hostile actions, or an uncontrolled manifestation of her anomalous abilities. Furthermore, the entity's communications with SCP-8896 (see Addendum 8896-02) suggest an ongoing, potentially manipulative, relationship that could compromise SCP-8896's loyalty or stability. The need for constant monitoring and the potential for a breach of control necessitate a Euclid classification.
**Addendum 8896-01: Acquisition and Initial Containment**
The anomalous event in Los Angeles was detected by Foundation seismic and thaumaturgic sensors, which registered a sudden, localized spike in Hume levels and a significant energy signature consistent with a high-level demonic manifestation. Mobile Task Force Psi-7 "Home Improvement" was immediately dispatched to the coordinates, initially under the assumption of a rogue thaumaturgic ritual or a K-Class scenario precursor.
Upon arrival, Psi-7 encountered a scene of widespread destruction. The Yakuza compound was largely demolished, with active fires and residual thaumaturgic energies emanating from the epicenter. SCP-8896 was found amidst the rubble, actively engaging remaining Yakuza members. Initial reports from Psi-7 describe a horrifying efficiency: SCP-8896, her newly formed horns already prominent, was observed rapidly incapacitating and draining the blood from Yakuza operatives, leaving behind desiccated corpses. She was in a state of extreme agitation, demonstrating uncontrolled bursts of pyrokinesis and exhibiting aggressive, almost feral, behavior. Her newly formed horns were visibly smoking from the residual energy.
Initial attempts at pacification by Psi-7 were met with significant resistance. SCP-8896 proved highly resilient to standard tranquilizers and kinetic force. Her speed and strength made direct engagement extremely hazardous. It required the combined efforts of Psi-7's specialized containment specialists, utilizing experimental sonic disruptors and a rapidly deployed thaumaturgic suppression field, to finally subdue her. The suppression field, designed to dampen anomalous energies, caused SCP-8896 to briefly convulse and emit a guttural roar before collapsing into unconsciousness.
She was immediately secured in a reinforced anomalous humanoid restraint system and transported to Site-19 for preliminary assessment and containment. During her initial days in containment, SCP-8896 remained largely uncooperative, lashing out verbally and physically when conscious, and exhibiting signs of extreme disorientation and pain, particularly when the thaumaturgic dampeners were active. Medical examinations confirmed the complete integration of the demonic entity into her cellular and neurological structure, making traditional exorcism attempts highly risky and potentially lethal to SCP-8896.
**Addendum 8896-02:**
During several approved missions, SCP-8896 has been observed communicating with an unseen entity, believed to be the demonic entity responsible for her transformation. These communications appear to be telepathic in nature, and SCP-8896 often pauses mid-action or stares blankly before resuming her tasks with renewed focus. The content of these communications is currently unknown, as SCP-8896 claims to only receive "guidance" or "strategic insights" from the entity, which she describes as a "whisper in the back of my mind." Foundation researchers are actively investigating the nature of this communication and its potential implications.
**Addendum 8896-03:**
Psychological evaluations of SCP-8896 have revealed a complex and symbiotic relationship with the entity possessing her. While she maintains a significant degree of autonomy and self-awareness, she also acknowledges a form of dependence on the entity's presence for her enhanced abilities. She describes the entity as a "partner" rather than a "master," though this assessment is viewed with caution by Foundation psychologists. The long-term implications of this unique co-existence and the potential for the entity to gain full control remain a primary concern.
**Addendum 8896-04: Relationship with SCP-MTF Captain Garuda**
Designated CPT Garuda, is the commanding officer of the joint U.S. government task force and SCP-8896's primary liaison and handler within the Foundation. He maintains a professional yet firm approach to SCP-8896's management, balancing her anomalous nature with her operational value.
Their professional relationship is characterized by a unique dynamic, often observed through their pre-mission briefings and post-mission debriefings. SCP-8896 frequently challenges CPT Garuda's authority with sardonic remarks and pointed questions, testing the boundaries of her cooperation. CPT Garuda, in turn, responds with a composed wit, often deflecting her jabs or turning them back on her with a subtle, almost imperceptible, smirk.
**Excerpt from Post-Mission Debriefing Log, [DATE]:**
CPT Garuda: "Kigin, your unauthorized use of pyrokinesis during the extraction phase caused significant structural damage to the target building. Explain."
SCP-8896: "It was efficient. Less resistance, faster extraction. Besides, you said 'neutralize the threat,' not 'do it politely.' And the building was already a dump."
CPT Garuda: "Efficiency is one thing, turning a two-story structure into a bonfire is another. We're trying to maintain a low profile, not announce our presence with a literal flare."
SCP-8896: "Oh, come on, Captain. You can't tell me you didn't enjoy the fireworks. And 'low profile' went out the window when we kicked in the front door. Just admit it, you like a little chaos."
CPT Garuda: (A brief, almost imperceptible smile) "I prefer controlled chaos, Kigin. Next time, try to keep the collateral damage to a minimum. Or at least send me the bill for the repairs before the fire department gets there."
SCP-8896: (Scoffs) "Wouldn't want to mess up your paperwork, Captain. Wouldn't want to mess up anything for you."
Despite this constant banter, a deeper, unacknowledged bond has developed between SCP-8896 and CPT Garuda. Observational reports indicate SCP-8896 exhibits subtle behavioral cues suggesting a growing, though unadmitted, emotional attachment:
She is noted to be more compliant with CPT Garuda's direct orders than with those from other Foundation personnel.
She has, on multiple occasions, placed herself in unnecessary danger to ensure CPT Garuda's safety during missions, often feigning tactical necessity.
During psychological evaluations, when prompted about her relationship with CPT Garuda, SCP-8896 becomes noticeably evasive, often changing the subject or responding with uncharacteristic brevity. She consistently refers to him as "just my handler" or "the guy who signs my paychecks," despite evidence to the contrary.
Personnel have reported instances of SCP-8896 "tidying" her living quarters or adjusting her appearance prior to scheduled meetings with CPT Garuda, actions inconsistent with her usual pragmatic disposition.
This evolving dynamic is being closely monitored by Foundation psychologists, as it represents a significant factor in SCP-8896's overall stability and cooperation. The potential implications of these unacknowledged feelings, both positive and negative, are a subject of ongoing research.
**Addendum 8896-05: Integration into Alpha 1**
Following her initial containment and extensive assessment, Foundation researchers determined that SCP-8896's unique blend of pre-existing mercenary skills and newly acquired anomalous abilities presented a significant, albeit volatile, asset. Traditional long-term containment was deemed resource-intensive and potentially counterproductive given her intelligence and capacity for strategic thought.
Under the terms of this agreement, SCP-8896 would be "leased" to Alpha 1, with Site-17 retaining ultimate oversight and containment authority. CPT Garuda, hand-picked for his exceptional leadership and experience with unconventional assets, was appointed as her direct handler and the commanding officer of the task force. The decision was made to integrate SCP-8896 into active operations, allowing her to utilize her abilities under controlled parameters, thereby mitigating the risk of uncontrolled manifestation while simultaneously benefiting from her unique capabilities.
The transition was not without its challenges. SCP-8896 initially viewed her new role as merely a different form of incarceration, albeit with more privileges. However, CPT Garuda's consistent professionalism, willingness to engage her on an intellectual level, and his subtle respect for her past skills gradually earned her begrudging cooperation. Her current employment is a testament to this delicate balance and the ongoing efforts to manage a highly dangerous, yet invaluable, anomalous asset.
**Incident Log XXXX-A: "The Crimson Club"**
Date: [REDACTED]
Location: "The Crimson Club," a high-end nightclub in [REDACTED].
Personnel Involved: SCP-8896, CPT Garuda, Foundation Security Team (FST-Gamma-7).
Incident Preamble:
Intelligence reports indicated a low-level anomalous entity, designated POI-773 ("The Mimic"), had been operating within the [REDACTED] nightlife scene. POI-773 was a parasitic entity capable of subtly altering human perception and inducing a euphoric trance-like state, making its victims highly susceptible to suggestion and financial exploitation. Foundation protocols dictated a discreet capture and extraction. CPT Garuda had briefed SCP-8896 on the situation, emphasizing the need for subtlety and a non-lethal approach, as POI-773 was not inherently hostile, merely opportunistic. SCP-8896 expressed open disdain for the "soft" approach, advocating for a more direct, aggressive intervention.
**Incident Timeline:**
23:00 - [DATE]: SCP-8896's subcutaneous tracker indicated an unauthorized departure from Site-17. Surveillance footage from her living quarters showed her bypassing standard security protocols with surprising ease, utilizing a combination of enhanced agility and a brief, localized burst of pyrokinesis to disable a motion sensor. CPT Garuda was immediately alerted.
23:15: CPT Garuda, utilizing SCP-8896's tracker, identified her destination as "The Crimson Club," the known operating area of POI-773. He immediately mobilized FST-Gamma-7 for rapid deployment, prioritizing SCP-8896's re-acquisition and the containment of POI-773.
23:40: CPT Garuda and FST-Gamma-7 arrived at the perimeter of The Crimson Club. Audio feeds from within the club, intercepted by Foundation intelligence, indicated a sudden escalation of chaos. Screams and the distinct sound of breaking glass were audible, followed by bursts of intense heat.
23:45: CPT Garuda, bypassing the main entrance, breached a rear service entrance. Inside, the main dance floor was in disarray. Several individuals were unconscious or in various states of terror. SCP-8896 was observed in the center of the room, her horns glowing faintly, actively engaging POI-773.
SCP-8896 was not attempting a discreet capture. Instead, she was using her pyrokinesis to create localized firewalls, corralling POI-773, which manifested as a shimmering, amorphous mass, while simultaneously subduing club patrons who attempted to interfere.
23:50: CPT Garuda ordered FST-Gamma-7 to establish a perimeter and prepare for containment of both SCP-8896 and POI-773. He then advanced alone towards SCP-8896.
23:52: CPT Garuda confronted SCP-8896.
CPT Garuda: "Kigin! What the hell are you doing? This was supposed to be a clean extraction!"
SCP-8896: (Spinning, a flicker of surprise in her eyes before it was replaced by a defiant smirk, a small flame dancing on her fingertip) "Clean is boring, Captain. Besides, this thing was putting people to sleep. Needed a wake-up call. And a few of these idiots needed to learn some manners." (She gestures dismissively at the unconscious patron she had drained.)
CPT Garuda: "You just drained a civilian! That's a direct violation of protocol!"
SCP-8896: "He was getting in the way. And he won't be getting in anyone's way again. Problem solved." She lunges towards POI-773, intending to incinerate it.
23:53: CPT Gaurda intercepted SCP-8896, utilizing a specialized non-lethal restraint device designed for high-threat humanoids. SCP-8896 reacted with unexpected ferocity, unleashing a burst of flame that CPT Garuda narrowly dodged. Their brief struggle was intense, a blur of enhanced speed and pyrotechnics. Despite her superior physical attributes, SCP-8896 hesitated at a critical moment, a fleeting look of conflict crossing her face when CPT Garuda managed to get close. This hesitation allowed CPT Garuda to activate a localized thaumaturgic dampener on his person, which, combined with a precise strike, rendered SCP-8896 unconscious.
00:00 - [DATE + 1]: POI-773, disoriented by SCP-8896's aggressive tactics and the residual thaumaturgic dampening, was easily contained by FST-Gamma-7. SCP-8896 was secured and transported back to Site-17.
**Aftermath:**
SCP-8896 was placed under temporary reinforced cell containment for 72 hours. Her psychological evaluation post-incident noted a significant increase in internal conflict, particularly when questioned about her hesitation during the confrontation with CPT Garuda. She refused to elaborate on her motives for the unauthorized mission, beyond stating, "It needed to be done, and you were taking too long."
CPT Garuda's report highlighted SCP-8896's dangerous disregard for protocol but also noted her effectiveness in neutralizing the immediate threat posed by POI-773, albeit with extreme collateral damage. He recommended a stricter monitoring regimen but argued against permanent cell containment, citing her continued operational value and the potential for her cooperation to degrade if she felt unduly restricted. The incident reinforced the Euclid classification and the critical importance of CPT Garuda's direct oversight in managing SCP-8896. The subtle, unadmitted feelings SCP-8896 harbors for CPT Garuda are now considered a significant, if volatile, factor in her overall compliance.Excerpts of note:
