Special Containment Procedures: Development of containment procedures for SCP-XXXX events is ongoing. Containment is instead focused on the suppression of knowledge related to the aforementioned events.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous event that occurs in approximately .0001% of pregnancies worldwide, with most cases occurring in the United States and Australia. All SCP-XXXX events follow the same timeline.
- Shortly after fertilization, the egg will move to the back wall of the uterus and embed itself. Over the next 5-7 days, the egg will undergo mitosis and create roughly sixty-four identical fertilized eggs.
- The zygotes will then borrow through the uterine wall and implant themselves at random intervals around the spine. On average, twenty-eight zygotes will survive this journey.
- Small lumps will appear across the back of the subject. All analysis shows no difference between these bumps and welts or bruises.
- Over the next five months, the subject will grow increasingly lethargic and requires roughly 8,000 calories a day to sustain basic bodily functions. Subjects note severe back pain and pressure on internal organs. Visual examination shows no abnormalities
- In the 39th week of pregnancy, subjects will seek out wetland areas.
- After exactly 40 weeks, or 280 days, the bumps present on the subject's back will expand, covering the back, chest, arms, and thighs in dark brown circles 10cm in diameter.
- Over the next few hours, several SCP-XXXX-1 entities will emerge from the bumps, leaving 5cm deep holes and move towards the closest source of water, where they will promptly disappear. Shortly after this, the subject will give birth to a non-anomalous child through traditional means.
Recovered SCP-XXXX-1 entities resembled human infants, but have an amphibious tail from the waist down. In addition to this, their internal anatomy closely mirrors that of the Suriname Frog. Attempts to keep an SCP-XXXX-1 entity for study have resulted in its death within five days.
Subjects affected by SCP-XXXX-1 are noted to survive in more than 97% of cases, though the resultant holes in their body take up to three years to heal completely.
