 Item number SCP-2771 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures At least 15 armed personnel trained in Procedure 366 Tutela are to be available at Area 2771 at all times. In approximate SCP-2771-1 garb, should SCP-2771-1 appear at any other Foundation facility, security personnel are to point insistently to the location of Area 2771 on a map until later spurs. Description SCP-2771 is a phenomenon affecting clandestine Foundation facilities in which groups of SCP-2771-1 attempt to abduct armed security personnel. Resistance to, incapacitation, or capture of SCP-2771-1 merely results in their appearance in increased numbers and at additional facilities. Individually, SCP-2771-1 are non-anomalous humanoids dressed in poorly cut cloth approximations of black tactical gear and green uniforms. SCP-2771-1 only communicate by insistently pointing their index and middle fingers or through non-verbal cues indicating annoyance, frustration, or disbelief. SCP-2771-1 will alter abductee's clothing to roughly resemble their own using chalk, paint, and sat cloth. They are then transported by unknown means to SCP-2771-2, a desert area containing a toll booth and a transportation system similar in appearance to an undulating human tongue. Subjects are required to sit in the toll booth and engage with passing travelers for 8-12 hours before being returned to their facility of origin. Failure to interact with travelers using the appropriate protocols results in the use, ejection, and return by highly agitated SCP-2771-1 followed immediately by an additional abduction attempt. Although no direct communication of proper protocols ever occurred, trial and error has resulted in procedure 366-Tutela significantly reducing ejections. Procedure 366-Tutela Personnel within SCP-2771-2 must remain within the toll booth until removed. The travelers will approach alone or in pairs sitting upright upon passing bulges of muscle. Appropriate reactions are detailed below. Pointing should always be conducted with the index and middle finger extended, with the thumb resting on the curled ring finger. Report any undocumented behaviors after ejection. Behavior. Traveller presents laminated photo ID. Appropriate response. Consume any amount of the ID, wrap the remainder in foil, and return it. Result. Traffic resumes. ID's have been described as crispy and bitter. Behavior. Traveller presents any amount of currency. Appropriate response. Slide currency away under forearm. Then point in the direction of travel. Result. Traffic resumes. SCP-2771-1 will divide any currency equally with abductees if possible. Behavior. Traveller presents any other object even remotely bearing their likeness. Appropriate response. Bear at likeness for approximately 15 seconds, return it, and point in the direction of travel. Result. Traffic resumes. Behavior. Traveller begins to peel skin from their own face, beginning with lower eyelids. Response. Nonverbally indicate in patience, then point in the direction of travel. Result. Traffic resumes. Behavior. Traveller approaches holding dinnerware or glassware aloft. Appropriate response. Traffic finger and repeatedly rub the edge of the dinnerware or glassware. If the traveler does not respond, nonverbally indicate frustration, then point in the direction of travel. Otherwise, proceed normally. Result. Traffic resumes. Behavior. Traveller smiles. Appropriate response. Engage traveler with sidearm. Results. The transportation system will descend into a helix and engulf any injured or terminated travelers. Results.
