SCP-8286-GL

Object Class: Keter

Disruption Class: CLASS 4 (Ekhi) | Risk Class: CLASS 5 (Critical)

Item Description

SCP-8286-GL is a highly intelligent, humanoid entity measuring approximately 2.1 meters in height and weighing approximately 120 kilograms. The entity exhibits physical characteristics reminiscent of reptiles, covered in scales stained with a layer of biliverdin, and elongated limbs.

The anomaly demonstrates a high level of cognitive ability, surpassing that of the average human, and displays proficiency in nearly all tasks given to it, including various academic disciplines, various languages, and problem-solving tasks. Administered IQ tests place the anomaly at an IQ of approximately 210.

SCP-8286-GL's primary anomalous property is its ability to 'shapeshift' into victims that it has killed. The anomaly attacks at the base of the neck, using a scalpel with a Feather Brand Surgical Blade, the tip of which is coated with a paralytic agent of unknown composition to render its victim immobilized, at which point SCP-8286-GL will consume the subject's brain. Analysis of victims recovered prior to SCP-8286-GL's consumption of the brain indicates a swift cessation of neural activity in the spinal cord and brainstem, leading to immediate loss of motor control. Upon consumption of the brain, SCP-8286-GL is capable of replicating their physical appearance completely, with no discernable difference between SCP-8286-GL and the victim, including the subjects voice and personality.

SCP-8286-GL is only able to mimic a victims appearance upon consumption of the victims brain, and SCP-8286-GL is presumed to be unable to shapeshift into any previous victims.

Attempts to separate the scalpel from SCP-8286-GL have been unsuccessful, While SCP-8286-GL is wielding the scalpel, it is unable to be removed by any means, and efforts to forcibly extract the instrument have resulted in failure. Even when the scalpel is not actively wielded, the scalpel will re-appear with the entity upon exiting a 5 meter radius from the entity. It is unknown if this is an anomalous property of SCP-8286-GL, or if the scalpel itself is anomalous.

The anomaly demonstrates predatory behavior, often stalking and then eliminating individuals in isolation, targeting primarily high-ranking Foundation staff, such as Department Heads and Special Forces operatives. SCP-8286-GL utilizes the positions of these personnel to lure additional victims, which it then consumes.

Containment Procedures

Principal MTF deployed to neutralize the threat remains MTF-Nu-7

SCP-8286-GL is contained within Site-##'s Heavy Containment Wing, and is assigned an E-IPCA-rated reinforced-concrete chamber. The chamber's entry doors are secured with tripwires, fitted upon a thin layer of lightweight, durable titanium alloy. SCP-8286-GL's containment chamber is fitted with a series of pressure sensors along the chamber's flooring to confirm the anomaly's presence within the chamber.

A containment breach constitutes a S##/A/SUPERBLUE-ORANGE(1)(2) Facility Lockdown (View LOCKDOWN PROCEDURES Revision 3.9). Internal Affairs, Security Teams, and on-site Mobile Task Force operatives are to administer I.D. checks among staff. On-site security teams are to make immediate attempts to lock-down the affected zones so QRF, or tactical response teams, may approach the breach unhindered.

Suspected instances of SCP-8286-GL are to be apprehended immediately and questioned, along with a full body search, and an evaluation from medical staff. Upon successful apprehension of SCP-8286-GL, the anomaly is to be transported back to its containment cell. In the event that SCP-8286-GL is hostile, the entity may be forcefully subdued through the use of heavy weaponry.

In the event SCP-8286-GL becomes inherently inimical to wider Foundation interests, and continued containment is infeasible, MTF operators are permitted to terminate the object under Executive Prevention Code SC-4.

Researcher's Note

I am concerned as to why we, the Foundation, have been more willing to terminate SCP objects as opposed to developing new and improved containment methods. This 'Executive Prevention Code' has resulted in the termination of a ridiculous number of SCPs, through either the Ethereal Program or just MTF Operatives gunning down the things. I'm not one to question my superiors, but I'm not sure why the Council and the Ethics Committee have been more open to approving these termination requests.

Attached Documentation

(1) CODE: SUPERBLUE

Synopsis: suggests the escape of a sentinent object equal or above human intelligence also capable of movement.

Special Guidance: identical evacuation plan to CODE: BLUE

Listed MTFs: MTF-Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed-Fox"), MTF-Nu-7 ("Hammer-Down")

(2) PRIORITY: A

For measure, below are the approximated response times for each priority level.

A - <1 hr

B - <2 hrs

C - <5 hrs

D - <24 hrs

E - <72 hrs

NOTE: Priority may be a key factor in determining whether response from an AMTF/MTF is necessary, or if the site should be destroyed, and may be used as evidence when arguing for destruction used by the Ethics Committee.
