 Item Number SCP-545 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-545 is considered to be three individual parts, and thus, each part may be stored differently. SCP-545A is to be kept in a two-room residential containment unit at Site-17, furnished to her liking. To date, she is not requested a TV, radio, nor any contact with the outside world beyond a walk through a park or woods at least once per week, available to her upon request. During said excursions, she is to be accompanied by a team of four armed security personnel and at least one researcher familiar to her. SCP-545A is allowed to leave her containment and spend time in level zero and common areas, provided that she notify two level two security personnel ahead of time, and is supervised during the duration of her leaving her room. SCP-545A poses no immediate threat to any personnel, provided that they are reminded not to make assumptions about her strength, speed, or intelligence based upon her appearance. All samples and bottles of SCP-545B are to be packaged and placed in the appropriate storage unit, under lock. Only authorized level four security personnel or hire may be allowed to handle, transport, or study SCP-545B. Drinking SCP-545B is strictly forbidden and punishable by immediate termination, unless under testing protocol. All requests to study and test SCP-545B must be submitted at least a week in advance and approved by a head of site research, if not a no five level operative. SCP-545A's unit is also able to contain a small garden under sun lamps, available for her to work in. No poisonous plants are allowed after incident 545-6B. SCP-545C is to be locked in a quad locked secure storage vault inside 17's precious items wing. Description SCP-545 may be determined as three separate parts. SCP-545A appears to be an elderly woman, presumably of Eastern European descent. 1.5 meters or 5 feet in height and 73.9 kilograms or 163 pounds in weight, giving her a short plump build. Her skin, although deeply tanned and heavily lined, is devoid of blemishes or liver spots otherwise common with age. Her hair is thick, completely white, and past her waist when let down. SCP-545A prefers to keep it up in a tight bun. Her eyes, despite her age, are a bright clear blue and devoid of cataracts or fogginess. As a reward for good behavior and cooperation, she has been allowed to choose a wardrobe of simple and traditional dresses and eyeglasses. Despite appearing to be 80-plus years old, 545A is an exceptional health with no weakening of the heart, bones, or respiratory system. And although of average human strength, her senses are noted to be above average and she scores a general 115 on a standard IQ test. SCP-545A claims to be over 800 years old. This claim has yet to be disproved. SCP-545A prefers to be called a number of names and dislikes the SCP designation number. She will respond to Granny, Beatrice, Ms. Widow, and has taken a liking to Dr. Redd's nickname for her. Totenkinder. She displays a generally pleasant personality and enjoys activities such as sewing, cooking, and gardening. SCP-545A often requests conversations and walks outside as well. Despite SCP-545A's penchant for acting like a kindly older woman, she displays no remorse for her use of SCP-545B and C. SCP-545A also displays a pathological fear of death and an addiction to SCP-545B. And she complies with Foundation personnel under threat of being deprived of her supply of SCP-545B. As the only known long-term user of SCP-545B, 545A's information is considered invaluable. SCP-545B is a colorless, odorless liquid extracted from the body via 545C and bottled. It is often dubbed liquid life due to its properties. Under examination, 545B appears to be slightly more viscous than water, but varies in direct texture and taste. 545B has no unique properties until ingested. Drinking SCP-545B extends the life of the user, slowing the process of aging and often either slowing or completely ridding the body of disease. It may even be used to heal major wounds if drunk quickly enough. Repeated use of SCP-545B may prolong life indefinitely, but results in a strong dependency upon its properties. And many frequent users show borderline sociopathic tendencies in regards to the creation of SCP-545B. To date, the SCP Foundation keeps a limited supply of SCP-545B and allows for production only for study of SCP-545C. SCP-545C is a thin weathered sheet of yellow parchment in surprisingly good condition. Carbon dating places it to be at least 600 years old. SCP-545A claims to have copied SCP-545C from the original document containing SCP-545C's instructions. For lack of a better term, SCP-545C contains a recipe in Middle English for extracting and distilling SCP-545B from the human body. Full contents of SCP-545C are undisclosed in order to prevent unauthorized personnel from creating SCP-545B. Key portions include Ingredients list, including such materials as live leeches, skullcap seeds, chicken fetuses, snakeskin, ginger root, mandrake root, lily of the valley water, spider eggs, and nearly two dozen more items in varying amounts. The most prominent ingredient appears to be a living human being, preferably a child. Multiple ingredients on this list have been noted to match the ingredients used in instances of SCP-2077. Supplies list, including a boiling pot large enough for a child or other human, along with water and many ingredients, and a strainer made from fresh spider webs, among other things. Instructions list, detailing rather elaborately the exact amount of materials and timing needed to successfully create, distill, and bottle SCP-545B. SCP-545A is able to recite and act upon SCP-545C by heart. The exact mechanisms of the process that creates SCP-545B are still unidentified. Magic is not an acceptable answer. There has to be some sort of process here that allows for this to happen. It can't just happen because it works. Dr. W... Addendum SCP-545 was located in a small Midwestern town, under the guise of an elderly woman with mild dementia. The woods her residential neighborhood were located in led to an area near a river that was prone to sinkholes, and had a small history of children becoming lost or dying in the woods before. Her neighbors described her as kind and caring, and had no suspicions that she may be anything more than a lonely elderly widow with a penchant for giving neighborhood kids small treats in return for collecting their used glass bottles. She was located and captured by data expunged. From SCP-545A's own memory, she has been repeating the same process for quite a while. She buys a small house in a relatively dangerous area, and keeps the supplies for SCP-545C with her, or manages to find and produce them. She collects glass bottles via the neighborhood, and over time gains their trust. She describes the process of capturing children for SCP-545C as being relatively easy. She simply goes for a walk and pretends to be lost, or talks kids into accompanying her home under the promise of food and candy. She admits to doing this at least once every five years or more. She claims to have been using this process for at least 800 years, but has admitted that even though her aging has slowed to a crawl, it hasn't stopped completely, no matter how much SCP-545B she produces and ingests. SCP-545B is not to be used or distributed, even in cases of emergency. Failure to comply will result in termination. 05. Lesson complete.
