# **Item #:** SCP-9454
# **Object Class:** Euclid
# **Special Containment Procedures**
SCP-9454 is to be contained within a standard humanoid-anomaly containment chamber modified to include a single reinforced access door designated **SCP-9454-C**. The area immediately beyond SCP-9454-C is to remain unilluminated at all times.
No personnel are permitted to enter SCP-9454-C without authorization from at least two Level 3 personnel.
Personnel entering SCP-9454-C are to be equipped with continuous biometric monitoring. Due to the inability of conventional visual observation equipment to adequately document conditions beyond SCP-9454-C, personnel are to maintain verbal communication with the observation team whenever possible.
SCP-9454-A and SCP-9454-B are to remain within 1 m of SCP-9454-C unless otherwise authorized.
Under no circumstances are personnel to manipulate SCP-9454-B's fingers directly.
Following Incident 9454-██, all personnel who have entered SCP-9454-C are to undergo a minimum 24-hour observation period before returning to regular duties.
# **Description**
SCP-9454 consists of two physically distinct objects, designated **SCP-9454-A** and **SCP-9454-B**.
SCP-9454-A is a conventional marionette approximately 35 cm in height. The object possesses no unusual physical characteristics and is constructed from materials consistent with commercially manufactured marionettes.
SCP-9454-B is a life-sized humanoid mannequin approximately 1.7 m in height. SCP-9454-B is similarly unremarkable in physical composition and appearance.
The fingers of SCP-9454-B are connected to the control strings of SCP-9454-A. SCP-9454-B is otherwise incapable of voluntary movement. While the strings remain attached, movement of SCP-9454-A is accompanied by corresponding movement of SCP-9454-B's fingers.
Initial observation suggested that SCP-9454-B was responsible for controlling SCP-9454-A. This hypothesis was subsequently disproven.
SCP-9454-C is a conventional door located adjacent to SCP-9454-B. The area on the opposite side of SCP-9454-C, designated **the Black Side**, cannot be visually observed.
Attempts to illuminate or photograph the Black Side have failed to produce usable visual information. Personnel can physically enter and exit the area without apparent difficulty.
The primary anomalous property of SCP-9454 concerns the behavior of SCP-9454-A while one or more individuals are present within the Black Side.
When a single individual is present, SCP-9454-A will reproduce the individual's movements with a high degree of accuracy.
When multiple individuals are present, SCP-9454-A selects an individual according to the following hierarchy:
1. **Proximity to SCP-9454-C:** SCP-9454-A will mimic the individual closest to SCP-9454-C.
2. **Duration:** If multiple individuals are equally close to SCP-9454-C, SCP-9454-A will mimic the individual who has spent the longest amount of time within the Black Side.
When the first condition produces an unambiguous result, duration does not appear to influence SCP-9454-A's selection.
The mechanism through which SCP-9454-A perceives individuals within the Black Side remains unknown.
# **Addendum 9454.1 — Initial Testing**
### Test 9454-01
**Subjects:** One D-Class personnel.
**Procedure:** D-9454-01 was instructed to enter the Black Side and perform a predetermined series of movements.
**Results:** SCP-9454-A reproduced the subject's movements with minimal observable deviation.
When D-9454-01 exited the Black Side, SCP-9454-A ceased movement.
**Conclusion:** SCP-9454-A demonstrates anomalous mimicry of individuals present within the Black Side.
---
### Test 9454-02
**Subjects:** Two D-Class personnel.
**Procedure:** D-9454-02 and D-9454-03 were instructed to enter the Black Side simultaneously. The subjects were subsequently instructed to exchange positions relative to SCP-9454-C.
**Results:** SCP-9454-A initially reproduced the movements of D-9454-02, who was positioned closer to SCP-9454-C.
Following the subjects' exchange of positions, SCP-9454-A began reproducing the movements of D-9454-03.
A subsequent trial positioned both subjects at approximately equal distances from SCP-9454-C. SCP-9454-A reproduced the movements of the subject who had spent the longer period within the Black Side.
**Conclusion:** The proximity and duration hierarchy was established.
---
### Test 9454-03
**Subjects:** Four D-Class personnel.
**Procedure:** Four subjects were instructed to enter the Black Side and move independently.
**Results:** SCP-9454-A did not reproduce the movements of any subject.
Instead, SCP-9454-A lowered itself toward the floor, drawing its limbs inward and lowering its head.
The resulting posture was consistent with an attempt to minimize its visible profile.
No subject reported intentionally adopting a similar posture.
Following termination of the test, all four subjects exited the Black Side.
SCP-9454-A remained in the aforementioned position for approximately ██ seconds.
It subsequently raised its head and rotated it slowly, appearing to survey the surrounding chamber before returning to its normal position.
**Conclusion:** Undetermined.
---
### Test 9454-04
**Subjects:** Three D-Class personnel.
**Procedure:** Three subjects were instructed to enter the Black Side and move independently.
**Results:** SCP-9454-A again failed to reproduce the movements of any subject.
Instead, it moved behind SCP-9454-B and remained there for the duration of the test.
None of the subjects reported performing a corresponding movement.
Following termination of the test, SCP-9454-A remained behind SCP-9454-B for approximately ██ seconds before returning to its original position.
**Conclusion:** Undetermined.
**Researcher's Note:** The assumption that SCP-9454-A's anomalous behavior is exclusively dependent upon the movements of personnel within the Black Side should be reconsidered.

# **Addendum 9454.2: Subject Disappearance**
During Test 9454-██, D-9454-██ entered the Black Side under observation.
For approximately ██ minutes, SCP-9454-A reproduced the subject's movements according to established selection criteria.
At 14:██, SCP-9454-A ceased movement.
D-9454-██ could no longer be contacted.
No sound or physical disturbance was detected.
After ██ minutes, D-9454-██ emerged from the Black Side.
The subject displayed no visible injuries and was initially judged to be in normal physical condition.
When questioned regarding the period during which they were unaccounted for, D-9454-██ stated:
> "I don't remember anything happening."
Further questioning produced no additional information.
Approximately ██ minutes after D-9454-██ returned, SCP-9454-A raised both arms and struck the air in front of itself six times.
Simultaneously, **six distinct impacts were heard against SCP-9454-C.**
No personnel were positioned on the opposite side of the door.
The impacts did not correspond to any observable movement by SCP-9454-A or SCP-9454-B.
The event has since been designated **the Six-Knock Event**.
D-9454-██ denied producing the impacts.
The source of the impacts remains unknown.

# **Addendum 9454.3: Severance Test**
Following analysis of SCP-9454-A and SCP-9454-B, researchers hypothesized that the strings connecting the objects constituted the mechanism responsible for SCP-9454-A's anomalous behavior.
The strings were severed under controlled conditions.
Immediately following severance:
* SCP-9454-A became physically disconnected from SCP-9454-B.
* SCP-9454-B's fingers ceased movement.
* SCP-9454-A remained stationary.
A test subject subsequently entered the Black Side.
SCP-9454-A resumed movement.
The subject's movements were reproduced in accordance with previously established selection criteria.
SCP-9454-B remained completely motionless.
Further testing confirmed that severing the strings did not prevent SCP-9454-A from responding to individuals within the Black Side.
**Conclusion:** The strings connecting SCP-9454-A and SCP-9454-B are not responsible for SCP-9454-A's anomalous movement.
The precise relationship between SCP-9454-A and SCP-9454-B remains undetermined.

The puppet kept moving.
I recommend we stop assuming that the things we can see are the things controlling this anomaly.
