Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Eulicid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-A is to be kept in a wooden crate in the high-security storage area of Site 91. Under no circumstances is to any human come into direct skin contact with SCP-XXXX. No further containment measures necessary.

SCP-XXXX-B is to be fitted with a collar containing a small remote-detonation explosive device, and kept in a medically-induced coma in the Site 17 onsite hospital, Wing-XXXX. The explosive device should be modulated so that upon detonation, only SCP-XXXX will sustain damage. The standard procedures regarding medical coma are to be modified to ensure REM-sleep does not occur. Should the current instance of SCP-XXXX-B enter REM sleep or show any level of response or awareness, on-site personnel are to immediately neutralize SCP-XXXX-B via lethal injection, or at the discretion of on-site personnel, detonation of the explosive collar. Upon the death of SCP-XXXX-B, a Class-D personnel is to put into a medically-induced coma and brought into contact with SCP-XXX-A by within 10 weeks. All instances of SCP-XXXX-C and are to reported to the Site Director and Senior Researcher Dr. ████ Shen, along with their stated intent and target. All instances of SCP-XXXX-D are to be either be neutralized by fulfilling their given instructions or euthanized humanely, as decided on a case-by-case basis.

As per 05/22/20██, testing on SCP-XXXX is forbidden.

Description: SCP-XXXX-A is an greek engraving circa 1███, thought to depict the greek goddess/personification Ananke (translated as "necessity). The anomalous effect of SCP-XXXX-A manifests when a human touches SCP-XXXX-A with their bare skin. This human (herafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-B) becomes the focus of the anomalous effect. Hereafter, thoughts made by SCP-XXXX-B that express a desire for the action and/or inaction of any entity result in the creation of an instance of SCP-XXXX-C manifesting targeting said entity.

SCP-XXXX-C appear as large, muscular human males, of varying ethnicity and dress. A majority (~97%) are dressed either in modern clothing, but rare anachronisms exist. All instances of SCP-XXXX-C uniformly carry a bludgeon of some kind (nightsticks, wooden clubs, lengths of pipe, and rifles have been common among SCP-XXXX-C. Instances of SCP-XXXX-C can speak, but have only ever spoken orders and threats.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-C manifest near the their target and immediately order them to perform the action desired by SCP-XXXX-B. These orders can be open ended ("keep this house clean") or have a distinct endpoint or deadline ("Finish construction on this house by friday"). Anything but immediate compliance from the target results in the SCP-XXXX-C instance beating the target once or twice with the bludgeon or a body part, and repeating the order. Continued noncompliance with the given order results SCP-XXXX-C beating the target with fists, feet, and their bludgeon, as does disobedience at any point fulfilling the order. Such beatings grow incrementally longer and more severe with continued noncompliance or repeated disobedience, and can result in broken bones or severe injury. However, no instnace of SCP-XXXX-D has ever expired as a result from injuries inflicted by SCP-XXXX-C, regardless of severity, though they may still be crippled. Failure to complete the order results in an extremely severe, continuous assault lasting anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour or more, universally resulting in broken bones or some other severe injury. Instances of SCP-XXXX-C ignore all other beings in their vicinity except for their target, are despite their obvious ability to interact physically, they have complete control over what they physically interact with. Attacks on SCP-XXXX-C instances from the target or bystanders simply pass through the instance, and instances of SCP-XXXX-C have been known to walk through walls or make strikes that pass through protective equipment to strike the target.

The completion of the given order, or uninterrupted compliance to the satisfaction of the SCP-XXXX-C (which usually takes 15-20 minutes), results in the SCP-XXXX-C instance demanifesting. Disobedience or further orders from the same SCP-XXXX-B instance result in the SCP-XXXX-C instance reappearing.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-C are uniformly unreasonable, rude, vulgar, and mildly incompetent. Any action other than prompt obedience with the order results in them assaulting their target physically and/or verbally. This is true even if the target is incapable of understanding or physically carrying out the order, lacks the skills necessary, if the order is practically infeasible ("write down the name of every person in the united states by this friday,") or physically impossible ("swim to the moon"), or if the given orders are contradictory or nonsensical. Very often SCP-XXXX-C instances cripple targets for noncompliance, which then causes the target to become unable to comply, resulting in the SCP-XXXX-C instance beating the target continuously until the target dies from external circumstances or injury. SCP-XXXX-C instances often are unclear in their orders, and on occasion will relay an order incorrectly. Beatings in these cases seem based on what SCP-XXXX-B (and thus SCP-XXXX-C) intended, rather than what was actually said.

On rare occations, an SCP-XXXX-C will appear unprompted to someone previously given an order from an SCP-XXXX-B instance, or who is within an unkown distance (no less than 1 mile) from SCP-XXXX-A. These spontaneous orders are uniformly for goods and services for the SCP-XXXX-C. Apart from their spontaneous nature, SCP-XXXX-C instances enforce these orders as they would normal orders.
