 Good afternoon. For those who are new, I'm Dr. Theron Sherman. In today's briefing, we will be studying SCP-6868. There isn't any objectionable material in this document, so let's begin. Item Number SCP-6868 Classification Level 2 Restricted Containment Class Safe Disruption Class Dark Risk Class Danger Special Containment Procedures SCP-6868 is to be contained in a standard Animate Object Containment Unit at Site 228. All handling of SCP-6868 is to be performed while wearing gloves. SCP-6868 is not to be brought near any liquids. Description SCP-6868 is an animate and sentient rubber duck toy which is 9 x 9.5 x 8 cm large. On its bottom, a stylized W has been printed in purple. SCP-6868 is able to maneuver itself slowly with small jumps. Since recovery, SCP-6868 has refused all attempts at communication, hopping away from any personnel attempting to come near it. It has been determined that SCP-6868 has half a phobia, the fear of human contact or being touched. Its main anomalous property is triggered upon physical contact with any liquid. SCP-6868 is able to transform liquid substances into purified water and pink soap bubbles. The bubbles then form small, animate replicas of various types of ships, submarines and airplanes which then start to fly and sail autonomously. These bubbles are noted to be edible and taste similar to strawberries. This anomalous property is capable of converting liquid to purified water at a speed of 5 liters per second. This process is automatic, with SCP-6868 seemingly having no control over the effect. Once removed from the liquid, the conversion will immediately stop and all converted liquids show no further anomalous properties. Addendum 6868-1 Discovery Log During routine text message surveillance, a series of texts seemingly referring to an anomalous object led to the discovery of SCP-6868 in Klaus Hertz's personal effects. An excerpt of text messages between Klaus Hertz and Otto Nabal has been included below. Begin Log Otto? What's up? Found a box on the side of the road. Remember opening that stuff at the warehouse? Of course I do. You gonna open it? You know it. Mystery box time. Ah, fuck. Ah, I hate these stupid scissors. I just cut my finger opening mess. Lawl, serves you right for stealing. Hey, there could be anything in here. It's probably some dude's mail. You're gonna feel like a horrible person in 3, 2, what, that's weird. The box is rattling. Congrats, you just stole someone's pet snake. Don't think so. There's no air holes. And it's a rubber duck. And a note. Yikes. Note. Hertz sends a photo of a handwritten note which has been transcribed below. Notably, the note is on letterhead indicative of group of interest Dr. Wondertainment. Got a new prototype from work for ya. I'm sorry I haven't been there that much. Hopefully Bobby will keep you company while I'm gone. Love? Dad. Oh, it's worse. You stole from a child. Wait, wait, wait. What? Thing moves on its own. No batteries either. Now, note, at this point Hertz sends an image of SCP-6868 in its box. He's kinda cute. It's just hopping around on its own, neat toy. Send a video. Look at this, I haven't touched it. Note, Hertz sends another image. Your cat's gonna eat it, lol. He's fast. Okay, I've cornered him. The door's locked. Could you let me in? Klaus, you coming to the door? Klaus? End log. During the autopsy of Klaus Hertz, all bodily fluids were found to be purified water, with a large number of pink soap bubbles found inside Hertz's chest cavity. Thank you for listening.
