SCP-1048

Object Class: Safe Keter

Description: 

SCP-1048 is a small teddy bear, approximately 33 cm (13 inches) in height. Through testing, composition of the subject revealed no unusual qualities that make it discernible from a non-sapient teddy bear. Subject is capable of moving on its own accord, and can communicate through a small range of gestures. The subject regularly shows affection to individuals in ways found endearing by most people. Affection is usually given in the form of a hug to the lower leg, but subject has also been observed dancing, jumping in place, and in two separate events it has even drawn child-like pictures for Janitorial Staff.

SCP 1048 has been observed to be a generally positive influence to Foundation Personnel, and even D-class with normally sociopathic tendencies.

Attempts at direct communication with SCP-1048 have not been considered successful. Though it is capable of simple gestures to indicate a "yes" or "no" answer, it will often not react to lines of questioning concerning its nature or where it originated from. It is currently unknown if this is because SCP-1048 does not know the answers, or because it does not want to answer.

The more anomalous behavior of SCP 1048 was not observed until approximately 7 months after it was originally secured. It is hypothesized that the subject is able to construct crude replicas of itself using various materials, by a process that has yet to be observed directly by Foundation staff. 

Special Containment Procedures: 

SCP-1048 is currently free to roam Site 24, as it poses no threat and has been observed to greatly improve to morale of personnel that interact with it. The whereabouts of SCP-1048 are currently unknown, though it is still believed to be somewhere in Site 24. Subject is to be secured for containment, but any creation of SCP-1048's should be destroyed on sight, unless further evidence warrants less extreme actions. No teddy bears are to be allowed in Site 24 to prevent any confusion or mistaken identity.
