SCP-Andy-1

If you're reading this, Hi!
I'm not looking for line by line crit, just general opinions on what I have.
There will be chronological issues. They will be fixed later.
This is a block of marble. I've gotta finish building it before I can carve it down.


NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-2 is to be contained within a standard humanoid containment cell with its furnishings modified to be permanently affixed to the floor and walls.

SCP-XXXX-2 must be escorted to the Site-20 Medical wing at 7:00 every morning for Procedure-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-2's first daily meal should be given after this procedure takes place.

SCP-XXXX-2 is not permitted contact with the following:

  • Any materials used in the construction of modern or historical armor or weapons.1
  • Any form of weapons, including items that could conceivably be used as improvised weapons such as the leg of desk or bed.

Under no circumstances is SCP-XXXX-2 to be made aware of the inscription on SCP-XXXX-1. Any materials given to SCP-XXXX-2 should be censored to remove any mention of Greek history during the time period of 1000 - 300 B.C.E, as well as mentions of Greek mythology.

A Foundation agent posing as a shepherd is required to remain within 1 kilometer of SCP-XXXX-1 at all times to prevent discovery.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the collective term for SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2

SCP-XXXX-1 is a statue located inside of a cave formation within a mountain in southern Greece. Although it displays no anomalous properties, it is marked as the origin site of SCP-XXXX-2 and has thus been temporarily sealed to prevent interference from any members of the public. The pillar previously showed a relief carving of a man wearing the traditional armor of Spartan Warriors in the Golden Age of Greece. (Approximately 500 - 300 B.C.E) On the opposite side of the pillar is an inscription of an ancient Greek tale previously unknown to the modern historical world.

SCP-XXXX-2 is the anomaly that emerged from the relief carving on SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-2 is a male human that stands exactly 2 meters tall. Hair is curly and black, subject appears to be in their late twenties, eyes gray. The subject has been confirmed to be of Greek descent by genetic testing. However, blood samples also showed traces of an unknown DNA sample that is only 95% similar to humans.

SCP-XXXX-2 has demonstrated heightened cellular reproduction within their body. If injured, SCP-XXXX-2 will enter and exit the hemostasis phase of healing within five seconds, bypass the inflammatory stage and move directly to the proliferation stage. The fibroblasts present within SCP-XXXX-2 will then create collagen at an extremely accelerated rate, usually closing the wound within two minutes. Within the next twenty-four hours, the damaged tissue will completely heal, with the resultant cells being four percent more durable than the originals. However, the cytokine2 that manages the healing process fails to end the process. As a result, unless damage is received in a different part of the body, these parts of SCP-XXXX's body will rapidly begin to generate tumorous growths at the site, which slowly spread through the body over the next week.

To prevent this, SCP-XXXX-2 must be injured by Site-20 medical staff3 every twenty-four hours. Additionally, they require a higher level of nutrient intake to facilitate the reconstruction of damaged tissue. It should be noted that SCP-XXXX-2 does not require a 1:1 ratio, as this process is 70% more efficient than the healing process of nonanomalous humans. Currently, this process is being studied to see if it can be replicated and refined for medical applications.

Testing has concluded that SCP-XXXX-2 is capable of feats of strength and endurance in the higher threshold of what is accepted as human limitations, with a physicality similar to top athletes. Additionally, they possess advanced combat capabilities, mostly pertaining to physical combat. It is unknown if this is anomalous in nature, or related to SCP-XXXX-2 past.

SCP-XXXX-2 also exhibits a minor reality bending property: Any material that could reasonably constitute a weapon or a form of armor will undergo a series of near-instant transmutations upon contact with SCP-XXXX-2 into something that fits the formal definition of weaponry or armor. No material is gained or lost during this transformation. This process has proven incapable of generating complex weapons like firearms or integrating electronics into created armor.

SCP-XXXX-2 maintains that this effect is completely involuntary. In all instances where this effect was triggered, accidentally or by Foundation interference, SCP-XXXX-2 has immediately attempted to remove the object from their person.

SCP-XXXX-2 has displayed reluctance to engage in any form of combat, touch weapons or armor, or harm another person in any way, often going to extremes to avoid conflict. They can only be persuaded to participate in tests involving firearms, mock combat simulations, or sparring if a member of staff with whom they are familiar is present.

Message:
Dear Doctor Fitz-Patrick,
I recently came across the report from the Greece mission, mislabeled and sitting at the bottom of my inbox. If I didn't know any better, I would think you were hiding things from me again. We've argued at length about the ethics of using SCPs for defensive or offensive purposes, but at the end of the day, I'm still the Site Director. I've scheduled testing on SCP-XXXX-2's combat skills for April 15th and you are more than welcome to attend. However, if I find out you've attempted to deceive me in regards to any SCP contained at Site-20, consider your position terminated. This will be your only warning.
Regards,
Director Jack Hargraves

Message:
Director,
While I may not have all the knowledge that a Site Director might, I can not begin to stress how bad of an idea I believe this is. Just because SCP-XXXX-2 was able to perform as they did in the footage, this does not mean we will be able to replicate it here or anywhere else. It is my professional opinion that exposing SCP-XXXX-2 to a simulated combat situation will be detrimental to their mental health.
I know you're set on it, but this mission you're on? Trying to remake Omega-7? Add somebody to Alpha-9? It's like catching lightning in a bottle. Perhaps we should let old ghosts lie and old dreams die.
Sincerely,
Dr. E. Fitz-Patrick

Dear Doctor Fitz-Patrick,
You'll be happy to hear I'll be taking a more off-handed approach to SCP-XXXX-2's training. Project-X05 is taking up more of my time as it gets closer to completion. Good thing I could multitask my weapons programs, given how poorly SCP-XXXX-2 has turned out. Having to keep a familiar person near to them is too much of a hazard.
But by all means, keep me informed.
Regards,
Director Hargraves

Subject: That thing in Greece
Message:
I'm sorry this isn't more clear. I was only able to transcribe maybe a third of it and I'm not even sure it's written text. I could have sworn I saw sentences change when I looked away but my photographs don't lie. There are some parts I put together through context clues, but a lot of this is something older than Greek. Maybe anomalous itself so I'm forwarding this to the AnomaLinguistics Department at Site-37.
Gather around me [Children], I will tell you the story of sweet Androcles. Fierce as a pride of lions and as cunning as a pack of wolves, he lived for nothing but battle. He was beloved by his countrymen and feared by his enemies, so much so that Ares Himself strode down from Olympus to challenge him to single combat. For ten days they fought a terrible [Duel], their blades cutting earth into islands and the sparks turning mountains into forges for Hephaestus. Impressed, he granted Androcles a boon: So long as he fought, he would never know defeat or age and by mixing his [Ichor] with Androcles' blood, Ares declared him kin to the Gods themselves.

Message:
Hey. finally got around to this. they unearthed a ton of old texts and we've been kinda busy. sorry.
As he came to bear on the world, he met his match in a woman from a distant land. With skin of whitest sand, covered in blues from the ocean, she blazed in his eyes like Helios' chariot. Together, the mountains bowed before them. But even as Eros' arrow brought them together, an arrow split them apart, for Jealous Ares saw his favored love something other than Himself. With his guiding star gone, Androcles tore the bones of the Earth itself. With his rage and lust for battle extinguished, he turned the battlefield into twin mountains. With his purpose lost, he entombed himself forevermore.
Not to do your job for you, but it sounds like this woman was a Pict. don't know if that helps :| Whatever you're doing is above my clearance level, but good luck.

Subject: Project-X05
Message:
Dear Doctor Fitz-Patrick,
Success! I have fostered the creation of a new lifeform. It's a bit rugged right now but with the right influences, I should have a viable candidate for Alpha-9 soon. Right now, all it needs is a mother. As such, I'm pulling you off the SCP-XXXX-2 project and moving you to X05. Effective Immediately.
The staff already assigned to the project will brief you more on this but don't touch anything. We still don't know the extent of its abilities.
Regards,
Director Hargraves
