SCP-023-CS
Object #: SCP-023-CS
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-023-CS is being held in a standard holding cell in the Humanoid Wing of Site-91. The subject is prohibited from using its abilities outside of testing purposes under threat of termination. SCP-023-Ω-CS's containment zone consists of an armored holding cell on the underground floor of Site-91, where the subject is held until it grows to an excessive size and a Gamma-Petrklíč event is required.
Every three months, SCP-023-CS is allowed to make contact with SCP-023-Ω-CS so that a Gamma-Petrklíč event can occur. If a Gamma-Petrklíč event does not occur, the Site Director must be contacted immediately.
Description: SCP-023-CS is a woman of European descent who identifies herself as Simonne Varco. The subject is a very capable telekinetic with ever-increasing potential. If an extended period of time passes since the last Gamma-Petrklíč event, the subject's abilities will reach a point where termination using a standard firearm is infeasible.
SCP-023-Ω-CS designates an entity that is intertwined with SCP-023-CS. This creature is capable of shape-shifting, but most of the time it resembles an amorphous aggregation of black non-reflective substance, or takes the form of various wild animals also composed of this material. All attempts to study this material have been inconclusive, including analysis of chemical composition, stress testing, or reaction with other substances. This entity is not considered sentient.
Similar to SCP-023-CS, SCP-023-Ω-CS's strength steadily increases with time passed since the last Gamma-Petrklíč event. It is not yet known how SCP-023-Ω-CS is able to sense SCP-023-CS, but experiments conducted on both subjects have shown that regardless of attempts to conceal information about the location of both subjects, both SCPs always knew where the other was and, if allowed, sought each other out and attempted to destroy each other.
Gamma-Petrklíč designates the event during which SCP-023-CS is terminated. If such an event occurs and the subject dies, regardless of the manner of death, SCP-023-Ω-CS will fall into a state of unconsciousness and lose all volume it gained while alive. After a period of approximately one week has elapsed, SCP-023-CS will revive again. Since 2007, when the Foundation first became aware of SCP-023-CS, forty-eight Gamma-Petrklíč events have ocurred.
Addendum 023-CS.001: Interview from April 12th, 2007
Interviewer: Dr. Christopher Erwick, SCP Site-91
Respondent: SCP-023-CS
Předmluva: Shortly after the first contact with the Foundation, a Gamma-Petrklíč event occurred and SCP-023-CS was terminated. The subject's body showed no signs of life. However, after a period of approximately one week, it suddenly reappeared outside the main entrance to Site-91, where it was detained and brought inside. Dr. Erwick undertook the interrogation of the subject.
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Erwick: Hello, you may sit down.
SCP-023-CS: No, thanks, I'd rather stand.
Dr. Erwick: Whatever, just don't try to blow my head off, okay?
The subject laughs slightly, but is visibly distressed.
SCP-023-CS: It got me, didn't it?
Dr. Erwick: You're talking about the black creature now, right?
Subject doesn't respond for an extended period of time.
Dr. Erwick: Excuse me, are you all right?
SCP-023-CS: No, it's okay. I just… I just thought that… I was hoping to avoid it this time.
Dr. Erwick: This time?
SCP-023-CS: Yeah… Last time, it was me, too. And before that, too.
Dr. Erwick: I'm sorry, but I don't think I understand.
SCP-023-CS: It's his turn. I was finally supposed to kill it.
Dr. Erwick: You know… You don't seem surprised to be alive again…
SCP-023-CS: Surprised? No, I'm not. Angry, that's what I am!
Dr. Erwick: All right, calm down. Neither of us wants security in the room.
Subject remains silent. After a brief pause, it sits down across from Dr. Erwick.
SCP-023-CS: Where is it now?
Dr. Erwick: That creature?
SCP-023-CS: Yes. That creature. Where is it?
Dr. Erwick: Why do you care so much?
SCP-023-CS: Because it'll be back. It always comes back. With any luck, we'll have a week before it finds me.
Dr. Erwick considers how to respond.
Dr. Erwick: I wouldn't worry about it.
SCP-023-CS: (Sigh) It's already here, isn't it?
Dr. Erwick: It woke up moments before you did.
[END LOG]
Conclusion: After the interview, SCP-023-CS was taken to a cell in the Humanoid Wing of Site-91. The subject did not resist detention in any way, however, it wished to be taken to SCP-023-Ω-CS so that it could destroy it. Request denied.
Addendum 023-CS.002: Dr. Vávra's report
REPORT
Date: May 14th, 2007
From: Dr. Vávra, Site-91, Laboratories
To: Dr. Erwick, Site-91, Humanoid Wing
Subject: I hope you haven't forgotten about us
Tests of the SCP-023-Ω-CS samples came back inconclusive. Nothing we tried worked, even though visually the samples were visible and tangible. Composition? Nothing. Reactions to chemicals? None. Stress test? No result. It's not even visible on a photograph. That's probably what bothers me the most.
Whatever this thing is, we aren't going to find out anytime soon. I'm not even sure it's really there. Most of the time it ignores the staff and when it does something, it just sits and stares at the ceiling. I'm telling you, Chris, that thing knows. It knows we've got that girl upstairs. It's the only thing it cares about.
But I'm getting used to it changing shape. I still loathe that shapeless mass of tentacles, but by some irony of fate, when it transforms into something with eyes and looks at me through the glass, I actually feel a little better. The only problem is, it's still growing. Its size has almost doubled since last week, I can tell even though I can't measure it. Before, when Dave said it turned into a snake, I found a black cobra. Now the same thing means a really fat anaconda.
I just hope that if you haven't forgotten about us up there, that you can still pry something out of that girl that might help us, because we're starting to have a problem down here.
Your lab colleague
- Dr. Vávra
Addendum 023-CS.003: Interview from June 5th, 2007
Interviewer: Dr. Christopher Erwick, SCP Site-91
Respondent: SCP-023-CS
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Erwick: Hello again. I'm frankly surprised you haven't tried to use your powers to escape yet.
The subject remains silent.
Dr. Erwick: Today's interview will be special, and if you cooperate, I can arrange a meeting with SCP-023-Ω-CS.
SCP-023-CS: Okay… What do you want to know?
Dr. Erwick: What do you know about SCP-023-Ω-CS?
SCP-023-CS: I already told you. This thing just started showing up, and I don't know what it is or why it's… Why it's killing me.
Dr. Erwick: We have reason to believe you know more than you say you do.
The subject is silent.
Dr. Erwick: We ran a background check. There is no Simonne Varco. Officially, a person with that name died a year ago in an alleged accident. Of course, it didn't take me long to verify that it was in fact some sort of botched magic ritual. After all, we were the ones who covered it up as a gas leak… But the body was never found.
SCP-023-CS: So what's the point?
Dr. Erwick: What really happened then?
SCP-023-CS: (Sigh) I… I don't know. I don't remember. Whatever I was doing that time, I can't remember.
Dr. Erwick: When did SCP-023-Ω-CS first start appearing?
SCP-023-CS: I've been seeing it ever since… You don't think I've summoned a demon or anything, do you?
Dr. Erwick: I'm afraid I can't answer that. (Dr. Erwick stands up.) But we could try to find out. So what do you say?
[END LOG]
Conclusion: SCP-023-CS, accompanied by Dr. Erwick and two armed guards, left its cell and was escorted to the Site-91 underground laboratory. Further information can be found in Appendix 023-CS.004.
Addendum 023-CS.004: Incident from June 5th, 2007
On June 5th, 2007, a serious containment breach occurred at Site-91. SCP-023-CS was brought inside SCP-023-Ω-CS's underground containment zone for testing purposes. During the test, the two subjects were separated by a reinforced glass wall that had been used to contain SCP-023-Ω-CS until that time. The following is a transcript of video footage from surveillance cameras in the area:
The elevator doors at the far end of the corridor open and Dr. Erwick enters the corridor with SCP-023-CS and two armed guards. The group is headed for Laboratory G. In the lab are personnel assigned to SCP-023-Ω-CS consisting of Dr. Vávra, Researcher Armstrong, their two assistants, and a member of the security force.
Dr. Vávra: Welcome to our little basement lab. Finally getting some progress?
Dr. Erwick: Not exactly. We came down here to try something out. (Dr. Erwick motions SCP-023-CS to move to the cell.)
SCP-023-CS approaches the glass wall that separates the holding cell from the rest of the lab. SCP-023-Ω-CS has been sitting motionless in the center of the room for twenty minutes. As the subject approaches, SCP-023-Ω-CS stirs, changes form to a massive canine beast, and begins to growl. SCP-023-CS extends its arm towards the glass, whereupon SCP-023-Ω-CS begins to bark. The subject steps closer and touches the glass. The canine creature inside the cell suddenly leaps against the glass and slams into it with the full weight of its body. The glass is undamaged.
Dr. Vávra: It's never done that before.
Dr. Erwick: Let's get this over with. (Dr. Erwick orders his escort to take SCP-023-CS away.)
SCP-023-Ω-CS rises again after the impact and changes back to its amorphous form. Several tentacle-like appendages shoot out from its central mass and begin to impact the glass. The glass is still holding. The guards approach SCP-023-CS and prepare to take it away. SCP-023-CS turns suddenly and with one motion of its hand stops both men in their tracks. Another loud impact is heard as SCP-023-Ω-CS crashes into the glass again, this time combining several tentacles into a single massive formation. Cracks begin to appear in the glass. SCP-023-CS throws the guards towards the elevator. One of the assistants sets off the Site's breach alarm.
Dr. Erwick: Miss Varco! Simonne! Please step away from the holding cell!
Another impact on the glass. Dr. Vávra persuades Dr. Erwick to evacuate the danger zone. The remaining staff in the room help the two injured guards into the elevator and enter themselves. SCP-023-CS again shifts its attention to SCP-023-Ω-CS, which has retreated to the corner of his cell and is preparing for another attack. The tentacle-like appendage's tip forms into a sharp spike. SCP-023-CS places its palm on the glass. SCP-023-Ω-CS strikes. The glass wall suddenly shatters into tiny fragments that immediately cloud together in front of SCP-023-CS. SCP-023-Ω-CS's pointed tentacle digs into the glass shards, tearing at the edges. The entity instantly changes shape, healing from any injuries caused. The glass shield in front of SCP-023-CS shatters, and all the shards fly towards SCP-023-Ω-CS, which has now taken on the form of a black bear.
Dr. Erwick and Dr. Vávra enter the elevator and the evacuated personnel leave the basement.
SCP-023-CS dodges the bear's lunge and uses its abilities to pick up one of the computer screens in the lab, which it launches at its opponent. SCP-023-Ω-CS tosses the monitor aside and lunges for SCP-023-CS. SCP-023-CS pulls a table between itself and the bear, which doesn't seem to slow it down significantly. SCP-023-CS telekinetically turns on a sink in the corner of the room, which bursts and the stream of water is instantly redirected towards SCP-023-Ω-CS. As SCP-023-Ω-CS struggles with the pressure of the water hitting it, SCP-023-CS rips an electrical cable from the wall and twists the end of it towards the soaked entity. It changes form into an enormous arthropod with eight limbs and quickly leaps aside. The ripped cable misses its target.
SCP-023-CS runs through the lab, blocking the path behind itself with any available objects. SCP-023-Ω-CS is almost catching up . One of SCP-023-Ω-CS's limbs transforms into a tentacle that shoots out and wraps itself around SCP-023-CS's legs. SCP-023-CS falls to the ground. SCP-023-CS panics and grabs an office pencil, which it stabs into the tentacle. SCP-023-Ω-CS's body begins to visibly convulse, turning back into a shapeless mass with its tentacles flailing around the room wildly. One of the tentacles hits the camera. Video feed disconnects.
Fifteen minutes later, a Mobile Task Force summoned by the breach alarm arrives. Its members use the emergency stairwell to access the basement and upon entering find the lifeless body of SCP-023-Ω-CS in its formless state, along with the remains of SCP-023-CS.
SCP-023-Ω-CS was placed back into its containment cell, which was reinforced and modified to withstand higher loads. SCP-023-CS was recovered in the basement a week later when it was found by the research team.
Addendum 023-CS.005: Interview from June 12th, 2007
Interviewer: Dr. Christopher Erwick, SCP Site-91
Respondent: SCP-023-CS
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Erwick: (Enters the room.) Hello.
The subject is huddled in the corner of the room, ignoring him.
Dr. Erwick: May I ask if you're satisfied now?
The subject ignores him.
Dr. Erwick: Because you got exactly what you wanted.
SCP-023-CS: (Cries) Y-you think that's what I w-wanted?
Dr. Erwick: No. But I think you expected it.
Subject is silent.
Dr. Erwick: You're lucky no one got hurt.
SCP-023-CS: (Quietly) I did.
Dr. Erwick: Could you repeat that, please?
SCP-023-CS: I did! I got hurt!
Dr. Erwick: But you're here again, alive and well.
SCP-023-CS: (Stands up and pulls up a chair using its powers.) And you think that it doesn't hurt?! That I don't remember what that thing did to me? What it always does to me?
Dr. Erwick: That's not what I'm saying-
SCP-023-CS: Okay, fine. Because I remember… Every… Detail.
Dr. Erwick: Then why didn't you listen to me and come back?
SCP-023-CS: Why? Hm? What does it matter? This thing… It's… It's going to come for me again.
Dr. Erwick: Miss Varco—
SCP-023-CS: Go away. I don't want to talk to you.
