SCP Foundation Research File
Item #: SCP-9867
Codename: The Flayed Conductor
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures
SCP-9867 is contained within a Category-IV subterranean isolation chamber at Site-19. Under no circumstances is direct physical contact with the entity permitted. All observation, communication, and testing must be conducted remotely through fiber-optic communication systems and non-magnetic sensor arrays.
The chamber's walls, floor, and ceiling are to be lined with a 30-centimeter-thick layer of non-calcium synthetic polymer. This layer is to be replaced automatically every forty-eight (48) hours by robotic maintenance systems. The containment lining is specifically designed to deny SCP-9867 access to calcium-rich minerals and other geological materials that could be used to facilitate its anomalous abilities.
Should SCP-9867 enter a confirmed hostile state, the containment chamber is to be placed under immediate full lockdown. Emergency electromagnetic restraint systems are to be activated simultaneously and remain engaged until the entity returns to a stable behavioral condition.
Personnel assigned to containment operations or Mobile Task Force Alpha-9 ("Last Hope") deployments involving SCP-9867 are required to maintain a constant and predictable cardiac rhythm. Personnel must either utilize Foundation-issued automatic cardiac pacemakers or, when medically appropriate, receive high-dose beta-blocker treatment prior to deployment. This protocol exists to reduce the likelihood of provoking SCP-9867's anomalous response to irregular heartbeat patterns.
Live testing involving additional SCP entities requires authorization from at least two Level 4 personnel and approval from the Site Director.
Description
SCP-9867 is a humanoid entity measuring approximately 2.5 meters in height. Its appearance resembles that of a severely flayed human corpse. Most of the body's skeletal framework remains permanently exposed, while remnants of muscular tissue and connective flesh hang loosely across the torso and limbs.
The entity's head consists entirely of a human skull devoid of skin, ocular organs, or facial tissue. Despite the absence of conventional sensory organs, SCP-9867 possesses acute environmental awareness and demonstrates visual and auditory perception exceeding normal human capability. It is capable of speaking numerous human languages fluently and often adapts its vocabulary and accent according to its current psychological state.
Both forearms have fused biologically with elongated bladed appendages formed from modified radius and ulna bones. These osseous blades exhibit exceptional hardness and sharpness, allowing them to sever matter at the cellular level through the apparent destabilization of atomic bonds.
Behavioral observations indicate that SCP-9867's psychological condition is governed almost entirely by surrounding biological heart rhythms. Foundation researchers currently regard this phenomenon as the entity's primary anomalous characteristic.
Anomalous Properties
Cardiac Synchronization Obsession
SCP-9867 possesses an anomalously heightened awareness of every heartbeat produced by living organisms within an approximate radius of fifty (50) meters. The entity consistently refers to these collective heartbeats as an "orchestra" or "symphony."
Behavioral changes occur immediately in response to variations within these cardiac rhythms.
When surrounded by organisms exhibiting slow, stable, or absent heartbeats—including certain anomalous entities such as SCP-096, SCP-049, SCP-250, and SCP-247—the entity enters an unusually cooperative state. During this period, SCP-9867 displays relaxed body language and adopts speech patterns resembling those of a modern British teenager. It frequently engages Foundation personnel in casual conversation, dark humor, absurd jokes, historical satire, and sarcastic commentary. Interviews conducted during this state have yielded valuable tactical information regarding several anomalous entities.
Conversely, exposure to irregular, panicked, or arrhythmic heartbeats results in an immediate psychological collapse designated as Absolute Hostile Phase.
During this state, SCP-9867 identifies the affected individual as a "discordant instrument" or "defective note within the symphony." The entity experiences an extreme psychotic episode characterized by theatrical screaming, grandiose speeches concerning warfare and conquest, and violent homicidal behavior.
SCP-9867 subsequently accelerates to speeds approaching Mach 291 (approximately 99,813 meters per second), generating massive kinetic electrical discharges, shockwaves, and sonic booms. Victims are typically dismembered almost instantaneously, with recovered remains suggesting destruction extending to microscopic—and in several incidents, near-atomic—levels.
Combat Engagement Triggers
The Absolute Hostile Phase may also be triggered immediately upon detecting specific anomalous entities.
Recorded triggers include the presence of SCP-076-2 during periods of intense aggression, SCP-682 while exhibiting elevated biological activity, and SCP-173 immediately prior to instantaneous movement.
During field operations, incidents of friendly fire produce an anomalous psychological response. Rather than interpreting accidental gunfire as betrayal, SCP-9867 consistently interprets such events as a formal "Knight's Duel" or "Glorious Challenge." Once this perception occurs, the entity will retaliate with lethal force regardless of prior cooperation or mission objectives.
Rapid Osteo-Regeneration
SCP-9867 possesses an extraordinarily rapid regenerative capability. Damaged or severed body parts can be restored within seconds by absorbing calcium and mineral compounds from the surrounding environment, including concrete, limestone, soil, and the skeletal remains of deceased organisms.
This regenerative process ceases entirely when SCP-9867 is deprived of access to calcium-bearing materials. The non-calcium synthetic polymer lining used throughout its containment chamber effectively suppresses this ability, making it one of the Foundation's primary containment measures.
