 Item number, SCP-464, Object Class, Euclid, Special Containment Procedures. Site-53 consists of a warehouse that has been built around SCP-464. The intervening space between the walls of the warehouse and SCP-464 is equipped with motion sensors and stationary cameras. Site-53 is staffed by a rotating complement of seven guards. Unclothed beings, sighted inside the warehouse, are to be shot on sight, and unauthorized clothed people are to be detained for questioning and physical examination. Description. Discovered in 19- SCP-464 is a large building, located in the middle of a farm near... The building consists of ten rooms, one of which takes up 70% of the building. The remaining nine rooms vary in size and function, and take up two stories at the rear of the building. The largest room, designated the floor, contains 14 identical large machines, all of which are connected to a 15th machine as well as the control room. Several of the machines are damaged by neglect and abuse. A full list of functionality follows. Number one, non-functioning. Number two, non-functioning. Number three, undetermined. Number four, undetermined. Number five, malfunctioning. All products are mindlessly homicidal. Number six, functioning. Number seven, non-functioning. Number eight, functioning. Number nine, functioning. Number 10, malfunctioning. Will produce only a biological soup containing several complete organs. Number 11, non-functioning. Number 12, functioning. Number 13, malfunctioning. All products are comatose and non-responsive. Number 14, malfunctioning. Data expunged. Number 15, functioning. Machine number 15 seems to be a raw material converter and a fuel dispenser. It can accept and convert any animal or human bodies or body parts, living or dead. It must be at least 15% full for any of the other machines to function. All products of SCP-464 are to be recycled. The next largest room is on the ground floor and was labeled refining. When found, it was locked and barred from the outside. Upon exploration, it was discovered to have a very large pile of dismantled and destroyed parts of machinery, various broken surgical equipment, as well as the remains of various decapitated animal and human bodies. The animals were not identifiable as belonging to any known species. On top of the pile was sitting data expunged. This has since been classified as SCP-464-1. SCP-464-1 was deemed unsafe to keep and thus was destroyed, resulting in an acceptable level of casualties. The animal parts, SCP-464-1, as well as all destroyed machinery are currently under study. The other room on the ground floor contained a standardized military uniform for adult men, as well as various civilian outfits for men, women, and children. These notably included identification for the local data expunged, as well as stocks of rifles and... The second floor contains a closet, a small room containing two small cots, a latrine, a large gasoline-powered generator, and the observation room. The observation room overlooks the floor and has a wide variety of control panels. Fourteen panels each control the machines on the floor. They were discovered labeled in French as follows. One switch labeled on and off. One dial labeled male and female. One dial with settings. Caucasian, Asian, Indian, and African. One dial starting at zero and ending at 75. One dial starting at 50 and ending at 125. Panels labeled number three and number four do not power up. The dials on panels number five and number eight are missing, and it has been discovered that they are set at female, Asian, 10, and male, Caucasian, 25 respectively. Experimentation with the panels and machines has led to the discovery that the machines will create human beings as per the settings. The settings male, Asian, 076 resulted in newborn Asian males, normal except for a tattoo near the base of the spine showing data expunged. The significance of the last dial, 50 to 125, was not initially known. Later tests on settings male, Caucasian, 50, 50, and 50, 51 seem to show that the date signifies the age at which the produced humans will die of organ failure. Autopsy has shown that the beings resemble typical humans in all aspects, accepting the presence of data expunged, suspected due to the unique section between the memory section on the brain and the frontal lobes. Also noted in the autopsies is that each combination of the sex and race dials only has one DNA sequence, with only the age varying between like outputs. Information takes 20 minutes, and once the being is created, it lies in a coma or a trance-like state for another 15 minutes. If this period lapses without interference, the being shall awaken and obey the orders given to it by the first human it encounters. During the trance period, the being may be told any factual information, including name and personal history, and afterwards the being shall act as if though the information pertains to itself. All beings seem to be created knowing French, Spanish, and Chinese, as well as knowledge pertaining to combat, weaponry, and vehicle operation. Dissection of the machines indicates that manufactured humans are not created in a manner similar to cloning or, for that matter, birth. Rather, the machines seem to create each body part individually in an inactive state. They are then assembled and activated through unknown means. Though these machines may be repaired with standardized parts, total replication of a functioning machine has, as of yet, failed. It has been theorized that at full production, SCP-464 could produce up to 700 adult individuals a day, assuming the amount of organic material was available. Document 464-1 War simulations that included three instances of SCP-464 all resulted in data expunged. This of course assumes an adequate supply of raw material, which could be acquired from the deceased, livestock, and civilian populations. Addendum Two foundation agents have been put on assignment to search for more instances of SCP-464. The danger of a fully functioning instance falling into the hands of some other agency or country is too great to ignore. Document 505-1 Lesson complete.
