 Item number, SCP-031. Object Class, Safe. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-031 is to be contained in a standard containment chamber located in Site-77's Safe SCP Wing. Personnel interacting with SCP-031 are not to view it directly and communicate with test subjects through an intercom system installed in each chamber. The containment chamber is to be cleaned once per week by custodial staff, wearing opaque goggles to mitigate SCP-031's effects. Description. SCP-031 is an amorphous organism with a mass of 75 kg. SCP-031 is able to move at a pace of 3 km an hour and leaves a trail of oil when it moves. It is only capable of rudimentary physical movement. Testing of recovered tissue samples has shown that SCP-031 is at least partially composed of human muscle and epidermal tissue. SCP-031 is capable of reproducing human speech in any pitch or tone, although it is not currently known how SCP-031's biology produces them. Subjects directly perceiving SCP-031 will see it as an individual the subject's new and had a romantic attraction to at some point in their past. When made aware that it is being observed, SCP-031 will claim to be this person and that they have been left destitute by some event in their past. SCP-031 will use this to attempt to persuade the subject to allow it to stay with them for an extended period of time until it is able to return to a stable situation. This effect applies to all persons who view SCP-031 and research has not determined an upper limit to the number of persons who can be affected by SCP-031 at the same time. After inspecting the residence, SCP-031 may attempt to start a romantic relationship with the subject and if successful, it will begin living in their home. Several cases have been documented where SCP-031 began to actively affect more than one subject at a time, eventually having a nest containing between at least 18 different hotel rooms containing subjects with some form of relation to SCP-031. SCP-031 was recovered following contradictory police records taken after a riot and multiple subjects reported wildly contradictory views about SCP-031's appearance and initial civilian units were also affected. However, wide distribution of amnesiacs and inhaled tranquilizers pacified all affected subjects and MTF-SI-7 was able to recover SCP-031 from the condemned hotel it had taken residence in. As of 11-16-1958, SCP-031 has been classified as safe. Addendum. Research has determined that aromantic subjects are not affected by SCP-031. However, all of these subjects will report SCP-031 as being a small, plump humanoid figure with specific features being obscured by dark smoke emanating from around the entity in the shape of SCP-031's body. Further testing is required to explain this phenomenon. Further testing has shown that the perception of subjects affected by SCP-1937 is similarly affected. Number. SCP-054. Object Class. Safe. Special Containment Procedures. Subject is held in a watertight isolation room outfitted with specialized climate control equipment. An ornate fountain filled with water stands in the center of the enclosure. Maintenance personnel are required to wear NBC suits while inside the containment area and must spend 10 minutes in a special drying room after exiting. In the event of a breach, a surrounding area should be evacuated and the enclosure flushed with liquid nitrogen. The fountain's chemical levels and volume are to be monitored and maintained. Spring water from it should be used as SCP-054 as highly sensitive to hydrological conditions. SCP-054 has developed a mistrust for human males during its confinement. Thus, assignment to female personnel is recommended. Description. Out of the water, the subject most often appears as a female humanoid with a mean volume of 90 liters, comprised entirely of water. Other forms are possible, commonly geometric shapes. When it enters a body of water, it becomes indistinguishable from its surroundings. The subject must periodically return to a body of water in order to maintain its volume due to evaporation. Initially found and moved to site 08 for further study. Subject was initially curious about Foundation personnel and seemed to enjoy interacting with maintenance staff and researchers and mimicking their forms. After a number of weeks, the creature apparently felt comfortable enough to remain out of the water during routine monitoring, though it retreated when attempts were made to study its composition. SCP-054 is apparently composed of normal water, with no detectable differences compared to ordinary spring water from the same source. No thermal, electromagnetic, biological, or other phenomenon has ever been detected in its body that would suggest how it animates. Water lost by SCP-054 to evaporation exhibits no special properties when condensed. Experiments with SCP-054 were halted following data expunged to researchers injured. After this incident, containment protocols were updated. Subject thereafter exhibited signs of mistrust and aggression around male personnel, which made up the majority of the original research staff. Subject reclassified Euclid. Audio Journal 054-A Water loss experiment. Subject becomes withdrawn and inactive when denied access to water. Its compact shape is theorized to reduce surface area exposed to evaporation. For the first few days, it moved eagerly to greet anyone entering its enclosure and behaved excitably. Possibly indicates an understanding by the subject that we control its access to water supplies. Subject ceased this behavior yesterday, presumably in recognition that no help was forthcoming. Temperature extremes testing. We got authorization to attempt subzero testing this morning. The subject became lethargic as the temperature fell and eventually froze completely. Spectroscopy of the ice crystal revealed no abnormalities. Ice chips were collected for study. This is in stark contrast to its behavior in the 95-degree tests when it became aggressive and attempted to escape its enclosure. We've submitted a work order to combine the climate control equipment with the subject's standard enclosure, as it has begun to resist efforts to transport it to experimental chambers with increasingly desperate behavior. Memory and Conditioning Evaluation Subject has proven unexpectedly adept at navigating complex mazes and solving puzzles. Dr. Seskel has finally overcome the problem of motivating the subject by the application of electrical shocks and or silica desiccants. He joked that we should have a train to fetch in no time, and after observing his methods, I think he might be right. Note, subject to be allowed a 48-hour recuperation period, it seemed to be lacking in its progress at the end of the week's experiments. Acid base incorporation experiment. Last log entry. I am starting with a 0.5-mol hydrogen chloride solution. I have no idea what will happen, but if this thing incorporates homeostatic mechanisms like I suspect, then we should get some insight into how it maintains its form. Temperature in the enclosure has been lowered to 278 Kelvin to help control 54's increasingly erratic behavior. Addendum 054b. After five years with no incidents, subject rating has been downgraded to safe. On recommendation of Dr. Rui, experiments will resume under the auspices of biology unit E7. Caution should still be exercised when interacting with subject. Item number SCP-066. Object class. Euclid impetus. Special containment procedures. SCP-066 is to be kept in a safe deposit box at site 21. Personnel level 2 or higher may perform experiments on SCP-066 after filing the relevant request forms. Researchers may log their results in experiment log 066-beta. Note. Special containment procedures have been modified. The following now applies. SCP-066 is to be kept in a tungsten carbide box in site 21's high-value item storage facility. Once every month, this box must be manually inspected for damage to the interior. SCP-066 consistently destroys any recording devices placed inside its containment box. If damage is present, SCP-066 must be moved to a new box. This task is performed via a robotic arm, capable of performing the task in under three seconds. Description. SCP-066 is an amorphous mass of braided yarn and ribbon weighing approximately one kilogram. Strands of SCP-066 may be taken individually and manipulated. When this is done, a note on the diatonic scale, C-D-E-F-G-A-B, is produced by the object. When a set of six or more notes are produced, SCP-066 will produce an effect of varying nature and duration. SCP-066 will not respond to manipulation while any effect produced by it is in progress. Prior to incident 066-2, results have included. SCP-066 transformed into a small calico kitten for 17 minutes. The kitten exhibited significant friendliness and playfulness and appeared to be de-clawed. A song lasting four minutes, acoustic guitar with vocal accompaniment by singer-songwriter The lyrics warned the listener not to use sharp objects without parental supervision. A small cupcake, chocolate with chocolate frosting, and a lit candle stuck in the top. Notably, the tones produced prior to this effect corresponded to the opening notes of Happy Birthday. SCP-066 became responsive after said cupcake was consumed. Incident 066-2 On April 18, 2008, D-0664437 was instructed to use a pair of scissors to remove a portion of SCP-066 for testing. However, when he began to cut it, SCP-066 rolled one meter away from him before stopping and making an unidentified squeaking sound. Before he could be provided with further instruction, D-0664437 attempted to cut it again. SCP-066 rolled away and produced the phrase, Are You Eric? in response. After D-0664437 replied in the negative, SCP-066 morphed into its present state and began emitting loud, dissonant staccato notes until D-0664437 was escorted from the room. After Incident 066-2, SCP-066 began to exhibit behavior highly and consistent with its previous properties. SCP-066 now displays significant mobility, primarily in the form of being able to move tentacular portions of itself at very high speed. While SCP-066 is either unable or unwilling to use this ability for transportation, it will occasionally attempt to damage its containment by rubbing its strands against the side of the box, gradually wearing it down. This process appears to be unusually effective for the materials in consideration. Additionally, SCP-066 will automatically produce notes and effects in the presence of any human, regardless of whether that human interacts with SCP-066. This process takes a minimum of six seconds. In the aftermath of Incident 066-2, effects produced by SCP-066 have included a single bee was released near the containment, stinging D-4436 before flying away. The bee was not captured. It is unknown how the bee survived. Beethoven's second symphony was playing at over 140 decibels, causing permanent deafness in three personnel and permanent hearing damage in eight others. The room containing SCP-066 experienced a sudden and complete absence of light for five hours. Personnel in the room reported hearing loud breathing behind their shoulders, although no source was apparent. When it is not producing anomalous effects, SCP-066 will say the name Eric constantly in a deep, masculine voice. Item number, SCP-128. Object Class, Euclid. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-128 is to be held in a windowless containment chamber, with blastproof doors and walls, and a ventilation system that maintains Class 100 clean room conditions inside. The interior of the containment chamber is to be monitored remotely by cameras welded in place with protective grading. The speakers and laser monitoring system must be similarly welded into place and protected with grading. The entry to SCP-128's containment chamber must include an anti-chamber with a second locked door that cannot be viewed from the chamber door. Personnel entering the test chamber for any reason must wear ballistic armor and must not bring any loose item inside the chamber. All required equipment must be rigidly mounted to the armor. Interference with the laser monitoring system or the central wheel is forbidden, unless required for maintenance. In the center of the containment chamber, a wheel must be mounted to a concrete pedestal and allowed to spin freely. Should the wheel be measured to spin at less than 4,000 rpm at any time, all personnel are required to evacuate the containment chamber, and foam nozzles will be deployed. Description. SCP-128 is an immaterial source of kinetic energy, which can be conferred upon any non-living solid material within line of sight of the source. The source itself is modal, with a tendency to remain along the walls or at the central wheel of the containment chamber. The line of sight is blocked by any opaque material, including lead, steel, or even single sheets of paper, but not transparent materials, such as ballistic glass. Opaque radio-lucent materials will contain SCP-128's range of effect, suggesting that transmission of energy occurs at visible light wavelengths, but darkness does not prevent transmission of kinetic energy. Any loose non-living materials within line of sight of SCP-128 are at risk of anomalous propulsion to hazardous velocities. Items under 100 grams in mass have been observed to accelerate to velocities of up to 900 meters per second, in a period of 0.1 second, similar in force to machine gun fire. Analysis of the mass and velocity of every object undergoing acceleration indicates that the system of affected objects contains a constant linear momentum of 2,500 kilograms a meter per second, anomalously unconstrained by direction. It is therefore advisable to have many heavier items available to the object instead of fewer, lighter items. Despite SCP-128's invisible immaterial form, it has been determined that the entity cannot be compressed into a space under a 2 centimeter radius sphere. Such compression with opaque materials, however, is not advised, as dust particles within the space will be excited, generating extreme heat, potentially rupturing the compression container explosively. SCP-128 arbitrarily chooses which items to accelerate, with a slight statistical preference for new objects over older ones. Despite the existence of some form of acceleration choosing, tests do not indicate an active sentience directing the choice, with one exception. The object does not accelerate living material, with its own parameters regarding what is considered living. People or robots moving of their own accord are not accelerated, nor is any part that is rigidly attached. Dead or unconscious people and animals are also not accelerated. Unmoving but conscious test subjects report a light tugging in the presence of SCP-128, which immediately stops at the first sign of movement or animal-like characteristics. Plants and fungi, alive or dead, are similarly not accelerated. Unpowered robots, however, are susceptible to acceleration. Addendum 128-1, Recovery Log SCP-128 was recovered from a private home in... Reports of telekinesis and random anomalous kinetic activity had been previously confirmed by field agents. An MTF-MU-13, Ghostbusters, was called in to isolate and capture the anomaly. Control. Okay. Equipment check. Tranquilizer pistols. MU-13 lead. All pistols loaded and checked. Control. Ballistic armor. Lead. Armor check. MU-13 gamma. I'm not used to carrying this ordinance. Control. It's standard issue for this sort of intangible. We had to dig deep in our files, had to look up old references. SOP on this dates back to 1968. The phenomenon was called a poltergeist back then. Delta. Poltergeist. That is old. Type 1 or 2. Control. It could be a type 1, a telekinetic vector associated with a deceased person, but field agents said that there's considerable domestic strife in the home. It's most likely undifferentiated kinetic energy from a latent bixby under extreme stress. Type 2. Lead. That's why containment involves the pistols. Trank all inhabitants, and it should shut down the anomaly long enough for us to figure out who's astral it is. The standard EMP tools are for containment of an autonomous intangible. Should it be type 1. Careful in there. Take no chances. Beta. Get the parabolic microphone on the house. We need to identify inhabitants. Beta. Mic online now. POI 1. How many times do I have to tell you, Britney? Clean your f***ing room already. You're such a s*** slob. POI 2. I did. It was spotless before I went to school. It was. Oh my god, Tyler. It was you. Wasn't it, you little douche? POI 3. Uh-uh. Why would I want to step foot in your nasty f***ing pigsty? Gamma. Considerable domestic strife, you say. Lead. Yeah. Just get in there and put them all to sleep. They could use the nap. And be careful with loose objects. Confirming three targets. Move out. Sounds of leaving the containment vehicle, approaching the house, and bashing in the door. Sound of tranquilizer pistol being fired. Delta. The sun's down. Lead. He looks young. Beta. Check his vitals. Make sure the drugs aren't too much of a shock to his system. The darts are calibrated to someone at least 40 kilos. Gamma, Delta. Find the father and daughter now. Footsteps through the house. Sound of tranquilizer pistol. Gamma. Father's down. Reaching for a shotgun. Glad we got to him first. Lead. Good work, Gamma. Delta. Find the daughter. Delta. Tractor to her bedroom. There's stuff everywhere here, like a tornado ripped through here. Shades are pulled. She's got a pet hamster, but I don't see her. Trying the closet. Lead. Careful, Delta. That's probably the source of the poltergeist activity. Delta. Roger that. I just got hit in the face with a pillow. Lead. Quick, Gamma. Delta needs backup. Screams heard. Sound of wood splintering. Sound of tranquilizer pistol firing. Delta. Daughter is down. Repeat. Daughter is down. Chair just got thrown against the wall. Bookshelf falling over. Activity increasing. Marbles. She has marbles. Ow. Lead. We gotta type one. Get out of the room, Delta. Damn it, just ow. Everybody out. Delta. Grab my hand and pull. It's, wait. It's the hamster. It's a f***ing tornado hamster. Tracking the hamster. Lead. Delta, no. The darts aren't calibrated. Sound of tranquilizer pistol firing. Delta. Hamster down. Why aren't you stopping? I tranked your sound of data expunge. Lead. Everybody out. Delta down. Close the doors. Get ready for type one containment. End log. Closing notes. EMP deployment for type one poltergeist containment functioned as expected, but failed to contain the anomaly. Move 13 Gamma back to the MTF truck through the residence wall into the daughter's bedroom and opened the back doors. When the anomaly was observed to be inside the truck, the doors were shut and backup was called to tow the truck with accelerated debris in the armored trailer. Cover story of tornado striking the house was released. Addendum 128-2. Principal researchers notes. Principal researcher, Dr. Cordelia Argett. Subject, SCP-128. Despite what the recovery log would say, this is not a poltergeist. Poltergeists are an obsolete term anyway. This is not a spirit or consciousness as we might think of the term. It can't pass through walls or the like. This is a source of kinetic energy. I've updated the description to show this. It's hard to say what precisely it is, but it appears to be best thought of as a whole, through which a constant momentum enters this universe. How this is accomplished is still the subject of further tests. In addition, the hamster did not have direct control over the phenomenon. If the hamster had conscious control, then the phenomenon would have ceased with its termination. Instead, if we continue the analogy of this being a whole, then the hamster was a valve covering the hole, which could have been opened or closed to allow in more or less momentum. This valve appears to have been stuck open. So all the talk about us having the ghost of a telekinetic hamster in containment should stop. It's inaccurate. Scratch notes only. Please delete. Dr. C. Argent C. Argent Hi, Rod. Are you there? R. Argent Hi, Gordy. Yes, I am. Congrats on your promotion. How are things? C. Argent Okay, but I've been put in charge of 128 and its containment is stressing me out. R. Argent What's that? Can you send me the file? C. Argent Yeah, hold on. Sending scp128.scp R. Argent Got it. So it's some kind of kinetic energy entity? Sounds like just your sort of thing, Dr. Anomalous Physics. C. Argent Ha ha, very funny. Yes, I figured out it's a field of constant momentum without a center of mass. Essentially, you treat the momentum of the system as a scalar constant instead of a vector, independent of direction. Simple enough, mathematically. But it does mean that the energy in the kinetic system is constantly fluctuating and being added to, to maintain the constant scalar momentum. It's supposed to be modulated up and down, but apparently it was under control of a hamster. And when the hamster died, the field got stuck it up. R. Argent So what's the issue about containment? There are procedures here. C. Argent They're ridiculous. It's basically give it toys but take them away whenever someone enters the chamber just so it can fire the researcher's clipboard through his skull. I've had to fill the room with foam pillows and send janitorial D-class in there in full battle armor just to clear the body away. The site director says that's not the first time and I just... What am I supposed to do? R. Argent You need a constant linear momentum without center of mass vector positioning in the containment chamber and the controller entity of the momentum field demonstrates some familiarity with objects. C. Argent Yes. R. Argent It's a hamster. Give it a wheel. C. Argent It's not a ha... That's why you're the biologist and I'm the physicist. Thank you. R. Argent You're still the smart one with the promotion, sis. You're welcome. Item number SCP-337 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-337 is to be kept within a steel reinforced 0.5 meter thick polished cement containment chamber at all times. Chamber walls must be inspected weakly for cracks and resealed as needed. Access will only be available via two-stage vaulted steel door system with a seal tolerance not to exceed 100 micrometers. Anti-chamber between the doors is to be fitted with multiple remote operated liquid propellant flamethrowers. Both chambers are to be externally monitored with wireless security cameras. Damage or repositioning of cameras should be reported immediately. A self-contained water recycling shower system will be positioned at the far end of the internal chamber. The system's water supply and filters are to be changed on a monthly basis. Personnel assigned to SCP-337 must maintain all head and body hair at no longer than 4 centimeters and will submit to regular full body inspection to ensure compliance. Any personnel entering the chamber must be escorted by two guards armed with portable flamethrowers. Following incident 337A, Class D personnel involved in testing must be strapped into a restraining gurney and sedated prior to entry. Once per week, one Class D personnel will be stripped of hair measuring longer than 5 centimeters using the Solomon technique. An attendant must immediately deliver the hair into the chamber and permit the object to feed. During this time, the attendant will sweep the floor clean of shedding using a standard broom and dustpan. Following incident 337C, vacuum cleaners are not permitted for use within 15 meters of SCP-337 containment unless specifically authorized. Description SCP-337 is a large conglomeration of human hair, weighing approximately 60 kilograms at last measure. The object's shape and dimensions are tremendously variable. SCP-337 is fully animate, capable of a wide range of locomotion and can exert force in excess of 18 kilo newtons. It also seems to possess some low level of sentience, although attempts at communication have thus far met with limited success. The object is able to manipulate any hair directly connected to its central mass, with precision down to the individual strand. The method by which SCP-337 mobilizes its components is still under investigation. Analysis of filaments attached to the object has shown them to be identical to regular human hair, and strands that are periodically shed from the object are similarly normal, aside from being drained of pigmentation. Filaments display typical tensile strength and can be easily damaged by fire, blades, or consumer grade chemical clog remover. Although it displays no obvious sensory organs SCP-337 is highly aware of its surroundings, and may even possess perceptive abilities exceeding those of humans. For the most part, these senses are tuned towards detecting and acquiring its principal form of sustenance, fresh human hair. When a human being with any hair measuring longer than 5 centimeters comes within approximately 30 meters of SCP-337, it enters what could be described as a predatory state, rapidly braiding together several dense tendrils of hair in the direction of its prey. The object's range of perception seems to be unhindered by the walls of its containment chamber. The object will then close in on its target at great speed, attempting to overtake it envelop it. When successful, SCP-337 restrains the subject's limbs and begins to harvest all hair of sufficient length from the body. Hair is painlessly removed from the dermis at the base, root included. It is immediately incorporated into the object's mass via knotting or weaving. Patterns of bruising, bleeding, and sebaceous eruption on subjects following feedings suggest follicles are partially loosened from the inner sheath prior to extraction. This appears to sometimes accelerate hair growth, even in regions where it is typically stunted. To date, researchers have failed to replicate this effect artificially. While SCP-337 was found in a filthy state at time of recovery, it has since demonstrated a preference for cleanliness. Not long after initial containment, the object managed to escape its temporary enclosure through a narrow, 2 centimeters in diameter, wiring duct. It was discovered on site several hours later in the fourth floor women's washroom, where it emerged from a drain and consumed the hair of two showering researchers. A security team arrived shortly thereafter to find SCP-337 under a running shower tap, lathering itself with shampoo left behind by the women. Once containment was reestablished, SCP-337's enclosure was fitted with its present bathing accommodations and a supply of hair conditioning product. The object's rate of shedding has since decreased dramatically. Note, SCP-337 may seem to prefer live feedings, but it will still readily consume hair that has already been removed from a human host, provided the follicle is intact and the root has only been detached for a few minutes. We have established a means of accomplishing this extraction just as effectively, if not as painlessly, as the object's method. To limit risk of cross-contamination, Class-D personnel should only be exposed to SCP-337 for approved testing purposes. Requests by personnel to be deliberately exposed for feeding are preemptively denied. Dr. B- Addendum SCP-337 has demonstrated the ability to grow well beyond its present mass through the accumulation of additional hair. It was discovered in the plumbing system of a large nursing home facility in B-Pennsylvania in 19 B- after Agent B- noticed a story entitled Sewer Snake Scalp Senior Citizens in a local newspaper. A team was dispatched to investigate under the guise of a fumigation contracting company. After evacuating residents to another facility, agents cut off all water and sewage lines in the building, monitoring sink and shower drains for any sign of the object. When a portion of SCP-337 finally emerged, it attempted to couple with Agent B-'s cranium, only to be intercepted by his weapons bayonet. The tendril immediately retracted into the drain, after which time the object was not sighted again for more than 45 minutes. Coordinated deployment of chemical clog remover forced the object to exit through pipes in the facility's basement-level utility room, where several agents were on hand to apprehend it with portable flamethrowers. However, the agents were unprepared for the sheer size of the object, which quickly filled the lower level of the building. In the confusion, a sizeable portion of SCP-337 was ignited. The resulting blaze spread quickly throughout the facility. Most on the upper floors were able to flee the structure before it collapsed, but several agents did not escape in time. SCP-337 managed to extricate its remaining mass through the building's ventilation system, shedding burning components as it went. When it finally amassed in the facility's parking lot, it was estimated to be over 8 meters tall. Surviving members of the intervention team converged around the object and successfully corralled it within the lot using flame propellant until support arrived. By the time SCP-337 was contained, it had lost more than 90% of its original mass. The fire and subsequent destruction of the nursing home was officially blamed on faulty wiring and damages were settled out of court. Displaced residents were transferred to a foundation-operated nursing facility, where amnesiacs were administered as required and data expunged without incident. Incident-337A Personnel Involved Dr. Solomon D-28803 Date Undisclosed Description 10.26 am Dr. Solomon and two guards enter anti-chamber of SCP-337 containment area, escorting D-28803 for scheduled testing. D-28803's hands and ankles are cuffed. He is moderately uncooperative, pleading not to be taken into the chamber. Rumors of a haircut monster are widespread among Class D personnel on site. 10.27 am Dr. Solomon assures D-28803 that he is completely safe. She firmly reminds him that his cooperation is beneficial to them both. 10.29 am All personnel enter in her chamber. SCP-337 has already extended several tendrils in direction of D-28803. D-28803 shouts multiple expletives. Attempts to move toward exit is restrained. 10.30 am SCP-337 closes in on D-28803. D-28803 produces a small pair of shears that had previously been hidden in his waistband. D-28803 still cuffed, rests free from guards, and lunges at SCP-337, screaming. 10.30 am D-28803 thrusts shears into SCP-337, managing to sever one of the object's tendrils. SCP-337 recoils as if in pain. 10.30 am SCP-337 envelops D-28803. Dr. Solomon shouts something unintelligible to guards. A muffled cry is heard, followed by a wet-sounding thump. 10.31 am Guards engage pilot lights of flamethrowers. SCP-337 retreats, disentangling itself from its host. D-28803 collapses to the ground. Body is hairless. Shears are buried up to the handle in the center of D-28803's forehead. Dense hair later discovered in nostrils, trachea, lungs. 10.32 am Personnel exit containment chamber with corpse. Incident 337B Personnel involved. Dr. R here and referred to as Dr. R. Date undisclosed. Description 457pm Dr. R in two guards enter anti-chamber of SCP-337 containment area. No declass personnel are present. Object has refused feeding for two consecutive weeks. SCP-337's former handler Dr. Solomon was killed one month prior in an unrelated incident. 4.58pm All personnel enter in her chamber. SCP-337 is spread out in a loose pile in center of room, braiding and unbraiding three tendrils. Dr. R approaches object. 4.59pm Dr. R extends a large bottle of herbal shampoo toward SCP-337. SCP-337 stops braiding and retracts tendrils into itself. 5pm A thick bulb-shaped extrusion of hair emerges at a 45-degree angle from the top of SCP-337. Hair contorts and intertwines on the bulb until detail begins to emerge. 5.01pm Dr. R drops the bottle. SCP-337 has produced a crude but recognizable likeness of the late Dr. Solomon. 5.01pm Dr. R stumbles back from the object. Both guards rush to support him. SCP-337 turns to follow Dr. R so that the head formation continues to face him. 5.02pm The researcher appears severely distraught. She's gone, okay? She's gone. 5.02pm Guards attempt to usher Dr. R to the exit. R grabs the handle portion of a guard's flamethrower and directs it at SCP-337. 5.02pm Nearest guard punches Dr. R in the jaw. He crumples. Guards restrain the researcher and drag him to the exit. SCP-337 remains still, continuing to direct the head formation toward R. 5.03pm All personnel exit containment chamber. The head retracts back into SCP-337, dissolving again into shapeless hair. After a moment, it retrieves the shampoo bottle from the floor and begins to lather itself. Note, this incident is troublesome for a number of reasons. There is no indication that Dr. R was in any way psychically affected by SCP-337, as some have proposed. The man had recently lost a close colleague, and psychiatric analysis after the incident revealed he was much more bereaved about it than he let on. Nevertheless, his reaction to the object's behavior seems illogically severe. It also squandered our first, and so far only, opportunity to engage in communication with the object. We are fortunate that SCP-337 returned to its former behavior patterns not long after the incident. For now, personnel assigned to SCP-337 should undergo periodic psychological evaluation until we know more. I also recommend rotating handlers for the object on a regular basis, so that no one becomes too attached.
