[[include component:image-block | name=URL-GOES-HERE | caption=SCP-XXXX instances in cold storage at Site-42. | width=300px]]
**Item #:** SCP-XXXX
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-XXXX is to be stored in six vacuum-insulated containers at Site-42 Biological Cold Storage Euclid-7, maintained at -18°C. Under these conditions, the seeds remain inert and require no active security.
All cultivation is to be conducted within the soundproofed, negative-pressure greenhouses of Euclid-7. Personnel entering active cultivation cells must wear full-coverage sound-isolation helmets rated NRR ≥ 30 dB and standard Level C hazmat suits. Harvesting is to be performed by remote manipulator arms only; manual retrieval requires prior sedation (midazolam 0.05 mg/kg IM) and a Cognitive Resistance Index score of 65 or higher.
Until thermal processing has raised the core temperature of SCP-XXXX tubers to 100°C or above, they are to be treated as active anomalies. All unused plant matter, growth substrate, and surplus seeds are to be incinerated within 24 hours of test completion.
SCP-XXXX-2-A specimens are to be kept in lead-glass shielded enclosures at Site-42 Anomalous Materials Lab. Ambient white noise in storage is not to exceed 40 dB.
**Description:** SCP-XXXX is a collection of 180 seeds visually indistinguishable from //Solanum tuberosum//. They were recovered from an abandoned cold-storage warehouse in ████, New York, contained within six standard insulated shipping boxes. Each box held 30 seeds and bore a handwritten label: "beef," "pork," "chicken," "freshwater," "saltwater," and "luncheon."
When cultivated under standard conditions, SCP-XXXX exhibits a growth cycle consistent with non-anomalous potato cultivars. The subterranean tubers, however, are composed entirely of muscle protein and adipose tissue matching the label of their respective container. Nutritional analysis indicates protein density and micronutrient profiles approximately 2–3 times that of the corresponding natural meat, with significantly lower lipid content. While the host plant remains alive, the tubers maintain total sterility without refrigeration; this property ceases 24 hours after the plant dies or the tuber is detached.
The organisms display limited sensory capability and autonomous motility. Root systems exhibit directional peristalsis through soil at roughly 2–4 cm per 24 hours, and will actively orient toward moisture gradients while avoiding mechanical vibration, shadow, and mammalian body heat. Electromyographic probes placed at root apices and stem lesions have recorded action potentials peaking near 40 mV, structurally similar to vertebrate neurons.
When subjected to mechanical damage or harvesting stimuli, SCP-XXXX deploys a dual defensive response. Cutaneous glands release an aerosolized glycoalkaloid compound (designated SCP-XXXX-1) with both irritant and broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. Simultaneously, a crystalline organelle at the tuber-root junction (SCP-XXXX-2-A) generates high-intensity acoustic emissions that carry a Class-I cognitohazardous payload. Subjects exposed to these emissions without hearing protection consistently report acute guilt, nausea, and existential dread, commonly described as the sensation of "killing something that can feel it."
At concentrations exceeding 50 ppm, SCP-XXXX-1 has been observed to induce Identity Substitution Syndrome (IS-XXXX), wherein exposed subjects become convinced that they are an instance of SCP-XXXX and act accordingly. Symptom severity appears inversely correlated with baseline psychological resilience.
Upon heating to an internal temperature of 100°C, all anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX tubers are lost. Muscle tissue denatures into conventional plant protein and amino acid complexes; SCP-XXXX-1 breaks down into inert solanaceous metabolites; and SCP-XXXX-2-A crystals undergo irreversible structural collapse. Post-cooking sensory and chemical analysis indicates no residual toxicity, and consumption by D-Class personnel has produced no adverse effects.
**Addendum XXXX-1: Cultivation Log**
||~ Batch ||~ Label ||~ Tuber Composition ||~ Motility Notes ||~ Acoustic Emission ||~ SCP-XXXX-1 Yield ||
|| XXXX-A || beef || Bovine myofibrillar tissue || Phototropic drift, 3.2 cm/72 h || 118 dB, low-frequency || Baseline ||

**Addendum XXXX-2: Biochemical and Thermal Deactivation Testing**
[[div class="blockquote"]]
**Lead:** Dr. ████
**Date:** 20██/██/██
SCP-XXXX-1 at 0.05 ppm achieved >99.9% lethality against //E. coli//, MRSA, //C. albicans//, influenza A (H1N1), and //Ascaris// ova within 30–120 seconds. That alone makes it one of the most effective broad-spectrum antimicrobials in Foundation inventory.
We then boiled it. Five minutes at 100°C. Post-test assays showed zero antimicrobial activity; LC-MS confirmed total molecular degradation into non-toxic solanidine metabolites. Identical results on whole tubers: 100°C core temperature, and the meat becomes plant protein that happens to taste like steak.
D-9081 through D-9086 consumed cooked specimens from all six batches. No vomiting, no hallucinations, no identity disturbances. Serum protein uptake was 18% higher than the beef control. If I didn't know what these things do while alive, I'd be filling requisition forms for Site-42's cafeteria.
**Note:** Surface searing is insufficient. Core temp must hit 100°C. Do not get creative with preparation.
[[/div]]
**Addendum XXXX-3: SCP-XXXX-2-A Crystalline Analysis**
[[div class="blockquote"]]
**Lead:** Dr. ████
Lattice structure does not match any terrestrial silicate classification. Resonance testing shows activation at ambient noise >40 dB, with full cognitohazard output triggered by harvest vibrations coupling with microcavitation bubbles in the xylem.
Thermal threshold: stable at 98°C, irreversible phase failure at 101°C. This is not a defense organ. It is a translator. Something engineered these plants to scream in a language we understand, and built a thermal kill-switch precisely at the boiling point of water.
Research is ongoing. Under no circumstances are these crystals to be interfaced with electronic or neural hardware.

**Addendum XXXX-4: IS-XXXX Incident Record**
[[div class="blockquote"]]
**Incident 01**
**Subject:** D-9061 (CRI 42/100)
**Conditions:** Manual harvesting of XXXX-F without hearing protection; ventilation failure led to inhalation of ~60 ppm SCP-XXXX-1.
**Outcome:** Subject began weeping at 3 minutes, stating, "I am the seventh tuber of the luncheon batch." He attempted to section his own left thigh with the edge of a containment table, claiming he "needed to be thin-sliced for the can." During restraint he repeated, "I am incomplete; I need to be mixed with the other trim." Symptoms persisted 18 hours. Partial amnestic remediation achieved; subject retains mild anxiety toward pink rectangular objects.
**Incident 03**
**Subject:** D-9070 (CRI 78/100)
**Conditions:** Controlled exposure to identical batch and concentration.
**Outcome:** Subject reported "a passing thought that I should be planted in soil," then self-corrected within 90 seconds. No self-injury. Higher cognitive resistance scores are confirmed protective.
**Incident 05 (Medical Application)**
**Subject:** D-9088 (CRI 55/100)
**Conditions:** General anesthesia (propofol IV); open wound exposed to 45 ppm SCP-XXXX-1 for 10 minutes.
**Outcome:** No IS-XXXX symptoms within 6 hours post-emergence. Wound closure 22% faster than control, zero infection. Conclusion: rendered unconscious, the compound is a field-grade surgical antiseptic.
[[/div]]
**Addendum XXXX-5: Recovery Notes**
SCP-XXXX was recovered from a refrigerated warehouse in ████, New York, following foreclosure for unpaid lease. The lessee, "███████ Foods," has no registered corporate history.
A water-damaged shipping manifest was found in the corner. Legible fragments read:
[[div class="blockquote"]]
"Product: dietary protein replacement crop // Defense class: civilian // //Harvest protocol: live extraction. Cook before consumption.//"
[[/div]]
Shipper and consignee fields were illegible.
**Addendum XXXX-6: Ethics Committee Memorandum**
[[div class="blockquote"]]
**To:** All Site Directors, Logistics Officers
**From:** Ethics Committee
**Re:** Internal distribution approval / Permanent ban on external agricultural release
Cooked SCP-XXXX is safe, nutritious, and produces no anomalous residuals. Ethics Committee approves limited distribution as a protein supplement within Foundation sites equipped for automated harvest-and-cook pipelines. Direct contact with living specimens remains prohibited.
External commercial farming, governmental release, or public distribution is **denied permanently**.
The risk assessment is simple. A farmer kneels at dawn and finds three months of potatoes squirming through the loam, roots reaching like pale fingers for his ankles. He pulls one free. It screams in his palm—not the sound of a vegetable, but a frequency that drops him to his knees, vomiting, convinced he has just murdered a creature that felt everything. Then he breathes the mist, and he is a can of luncheon meat, hacking at his own leg with a sickle.
We have soundproof helmets, negative-pressure greenhouses, sedatives, and armed security. He does not. The public does not. If this crop reaches open market, containment breach becomes certainty.
Furthermore, the taxonomic origin of XXXX-F and the thermal kill-switch at exactly 100°C remain unexplained. Until we know who designed this, and why, the crop stays in our greenhouses.
It may be served in our cafeterias. It will not be served in the world outside.

**Item #:** SCP-XXXX
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** Keep the seeds cold with six vacuum-insulated boxes at Site-42 Biological Cold Storage Euclid-7, -18°C for storage. They don’t do anything when frozen below -10°C.
If growing them, use the soundproofed negative-pressure greenhouses in Euclid-7. Wear full-coverage sound-isolation helmets, NRR 30 dB minimum, plus standard Level C hazmat. No exceptions. I don’t care if you’re just checking the soil moisture. Helmet on.
Harvesting is by remote manipulator arms only. If it needs to go in manually—and you need a damn good reason—operators need sedation first. Midazolam 0.05 mg/kg IM. Also, a Cognitive Resistance Index of 65 or higher. And two security guards. And a signed waiver from the Site Director. It’s a pain for a reason.
Until the tubers hit 100°C core temperature, treat them as active hostile anomalies. Not “maybe anomalous.” Hostile. Burn everything unused—plant matter, soil, leftover seeds—within 24 hours.
The SCP-XXXX-2-A crystals are over at Site-42 Anomalous Materials Lab now. Lead-glass shielded boxes. Keep ambient noise under 40 dB. Doesn’t sound like much, but it matters.
**Description:** SCP-XXXX is 180 seeds. They look like normal potato seeds of Solanum tuberosum. We found them in an abandoned cold-storage warehouse in ████, New York. Six standard insulated shipping boxes with 30 seeds each. Handwritten labels: “beef,” “pork,” “chicken,” “freshwater,” “saltwater,” and “luncheon.” Someone wrote them in a ballpoint pen. The handwriting is messy and weird.
Grow them like normal potatoes. Same cycle, same soil, same water. But the tubers underground aren’t starch. They’re meat. Muscle protein and adipose tissue, corresponding to the label on the box. Beef batch grows beef. Pork grows pork. Chicken is chicken. The fish ones actually have fish protein sequences. Nutritional density is 2–3 times the natural equivalent, and fat content is way lower. And while the plant is alive, the tubers stay completely sterile. No refrigeration needed. Once the plant dies or you cut the tuber off, that stops. 24 hours later, it’s just rotting meat.
The plants can feel things. Or something close to feeling. Roots move through soil, slowly. About 2–4 cm per day. Sometimes less. They orient toward water and away from shadows, vibrations, body heat. We stuck electromyographic probes at the root tips and stem cuts. Got action potentials, peaking near 40 mV. Looks like vertebrate neuron activity. Not exactly the same, but close enough to be disturbing.
When you try to harvest them or damage them, they fight back. Two ways.
First: chemical. Cutaneous glands release an aerosolized compound, SCP-XXXX-1. Glycoalkaloid skeleton, similar to solanine, but modified. Unknown groups attached. It irritates skin—itching, redness, and minor toxicity. Nothing lethal. But at 0.05 ppm it kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasite eggs. 99.9% in under two minutes. That’s why the tubers stay sterile while alive. The plant is constantly secreting trace amounts.
Second: sound. There’s a crystalline organelle at the tuber-root junction. SCP-XXXX-2-A. Generates high-intensity acoustic emissions when the plant is stressed or harmed. 115 to 125 dB. However, it’s not just loud, though. It carries a cognito hazard. People exposed without hearing protection report guilt, Nausea, and deep regret. They say it feels like “killing someone that they can feel it.” One D-Class described it as similar to hearing the plant scream in a language he didn’t know but in some way understood.
At concentrations above 50 ppm, SCP-XXXX-1 gets into the bloodstream through mucous membranes. Causes Identity Substitution Syndrome (IS-XXXX). Subject believes they are one of the six meat-potato varieties. Acts accordingly. Severity depends on how stable they were to begin with. Low CRI means a bad trip. High CRI means they shake it off.
Here’s the part that makes this complicated: cook it to 100°C internally and everything stops. The meat protein denatures into conventional plant protein and amino acids. SCP-XXXX-1 breaks down into inert metabolites. The crystals collapse. After cooking, it’s just food. Tastes like the corresponding meat. No side effects, no toxicity, no cognitive hazards. We fed cooked samples to six D-Class. They asked for seconds. Protein absorption was 18% higher than real beef.
So it’s a potato that grows meat, screams when you hurt it, and is perfectly safe if you boil it first. Simple enough i guess(is it really just potatoes that grow meat？)
**Addendum XXXX-1:** Cultivation Log
||~ Batch ||~ Label ||~ Tuber Composition ||~ Behavior ||~ Acoustic Emission ||~ Notes ||
|| XXXX-A || beef || Bovine tissue || Drifts towards the light, 3.2 cm/72h. || 118 dB, low-frequency moaning. || Baseline. Boring. ||
|| XXXX-B || pork || Pork analog || Roots tried to breach the partition toward XXXX-C. || High-frequency tremor, like a pig squeal but wrong. || Kept trying to “touch” the chicken batch. Why? ||
|| XXXX-C || chicken || Chicken breast analog || Withdraws from vibration, leaves droop. || Avian distress pulses. || Most reactive to touch. ||
|| XXXX-D || freshwater || Rainbow trout protein || Grows toward water sources. || Gurgling, bubbling sounds. || Hydrotropic. Obvious. ||
|| XXXX-E || saltwater || Yellowfin tuna sequence || Avoids saline environments. || Deep periodic pulses, almost like whale song. || Halotropic avoidance. Interesting. ||
|| XXXX-F || luncheon || No known taxonomic match || Barely moves, 1.1 cm/72h, but violently avoids heat. || 124 dB, cognitohazard lasts 4.2 hours. || SCP-XXXX-1 secretion 230% of baseline. We don’t know what this meat is. ||
**Addendum XXXX-2:** Biochemical and Thermal Deactivation Testing
**Lead:** Dr. ████
**Date:** 20██/██/██
0.05 ppm of SCP-XXXX-1. Tested against E. coli, MRSA, C. albicans, H1N1, Ascaris ova. All dead in 30–120 seconds. This stuff is better than anything in our medical stores and supplies. I’m not exaggerating. We should run more test on people.
Then we boiled it. Five minutes at 100°C. Tested again. Nothing. Zero antimicrobial activity. LC-MS showed it broke down into regular solanidine metabolites. Harmless.
Same thing with whole tubers. Cook to 100°C core temp. The meat becomes plant protein. Tastes like steak. Tastes like chicken. Tastes like fish. D-9081 through D-9086 ate all six batches. No vomiting. No hallucinations. Nobody thought they were a potato. Bloodwork showed 18% better protein uptake than beef control.
If I didn’t know what these things do while alive, I’d already have requisitioned them for the Site-42 cafeteria. I’m serious.
Note: Surface searing is NOT enough. Core temp must hit 100°C. Don’t get clever with sous vide or light grilling. Boil it, bake it, pressure-cook it. Don’t half-ass this.
**Addendum XXXX-3:** SCP-XXXX-2-A Crystalline Analysis
**Lead:** Dr. ████
These Crystal lattices are not any terrestrial silicate we know(at least for now). Resonance testing shows that they activate at >40 dB ambient noise. Full cognitohazard output triggers when harvest vibrations couple with microcavitation bubbles in the xylem.(This has potential industrial function:)
Thermal test: stable at 98°C. Collapses at 101°C. Irreversible.
This isn’t a defense organ. It’s a translator. Something built these plants to scream in a way that WE understand. And they built the kill-switch exactly at the boiling point of water.
Think about that. Not 90°C. Not 110°C. 100°C. The temperature at which humans cook food(it may be just a random temperature actually:)
Research continues. Do NOT hook these crystals up to any electronic or neural hardware. I don’t want to know what happens if we give them a louder voice.

**Addendum XXXX-5:** Recovery Notes
Found in a refrigerated warehouse in ████, New York. Foreclosure for unpaid lease. Lessee was “███████ Foods.” No corporate registration and tax records. Doesn’t exist.
In the corner, under a collapsed shelf, there was a damaged shipping manifest. Ballpoint pen with the same handwriting as the seed labels. Legible fragments:
Product: dietary protein replacement crop
Defense class: civilian?
Harvest protocol: live extraction. Cook before consumption.
Shipper and consignee fields were soaked through. Nothing legible.
