 SCP-777 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures The area known as SCP-777 is to be contained behind two meter tall electrical fencing. Motion activated turrets are to be placed within the area in order to prevent any instances of SCP-777-1 from escaping the containment area. No liquids are allowed within the area known as SCP-777. Any civilians approaching SCP-777 are to be interrogated and subsequently dozed with a Class A amnesiac. For the sake or secrecy, SCP-777 is to be represented as a military bombing range on all maps of the area, and any satellite imaging is to be doctored by dedicated staff to represent the area as such. Any personnel entering SCP-777 are to wear sealed ventilated pressure suits to prevent liquid coming into contact with SCP-777. These suits are to be checked for rupture before entering SCP-777. Any instances of SCP-777-1 outside of SCP-777 are to be destroyed at the first possible opportunity. In the event that SCP-777 experiences rainfall, on-site personnel are to authorize a bombing run to neutralize the threat posed. Description SCP-777 is an area of land spanning 5 square kilometers located in the ██ desert, referred to by locals as the Kingdom of Sand. The radio interference is present within SCP-777, with the source currently unknown. SCP-777 demonstrates a further anomalous property when sand within an area comes in contact with any type of liquid. The moisturized sand will animate, typically taking the shape of an animal proportioned to the amount of sand moisturized. These entities will hear after be referred to as SCP-777-1. Instances of SCP-777-1 will behave aggressively to any live forms that enter SCP-777, and will attack on-site. SCP-777-1 will single-mindedly hunt or prey, and will have on several occasions followed intruders out of SCP-777 in the nearby towns. Instances of SCP-777-1 do not appear to attack each other, and instead behave in a hive mind, using flinking maneuvers to distract and kill their victims. SCP-777-1 typically collapse and become inanimate if not provided with further moisture after 24 hours, although this time scale seems to be longer in smaller instances. Unretrieved from SCP-777 appeared to retain its anomalous qualities until it was taken a further 60 km away from SCP-777. Taking advantage of this, a research outpost had been established 2 km away from SCP-777, and research on the anomalous sand is currently being undertaken. Analysis of the radio interference and evidence given in interview 777-1 indicate the source of the anomalous events at the center of SCP-777, however all attempts to reach it have met with failure. History SCP-777 was discovered by the Foundation during a routine mis-verification operation undertaken by Mobile Task Force Zeta-17, the Beach Bullies. Contact was lost with the Task Force Zeta-17 one hour after the mission began. Mobile Task Force 522, the Well-Wishers, then began a rescue operation and managed to retrieve ██████ the leader of Mobile Task Force Zeta-17, only survivor of the incident. On the outskirts of SCP-777, who informed research staff of SCP-777 nature, SCP-777-1 testing logs. Test 777-1A Material used, one grain of sand taken from SCP-777, result, drop of water is applied to sand, no visible effect. Test 777-1B Materials used, small clump of sand taken from SCP-777, result, water is applied to sand, sand animates into three European hornets, which then escape from containment and attack security officer ██████. Security officer ██████ is relatively unharmed as the hornets are unable to properly sting him. SCP-777-1 was in-destroyed by a second member of security. Test 777-1C Materials used, two connected small clumps of sand from SCP-777, result, water is applied to sand, sand animates into what appears to be a hybrid between a crab and an octopus. SCP-777-1 is immobile and destroyed without incident. Test 777-1D Materials used, mixture of regular sand and sand taken from SCP-777, result, water is applied to mixture. Sand taken from SCP-777 animates into an African rock python, which burls out of the sand and is destroyed by security when it attempts to escape containment. Test 777-1E Materials used, sand taken from SCP-777 contained in a test tube, result, water is applied to sand, sand animates into an unidentified mass which demonstrates acidic qualities. SCP-777-1 destroyed without incident. Test 777-1F Materials used, large amount of sand taken from SCP-777 and a tank filled with water, result, sand is inserted into water tank, sand takes slightly longer to animate into a juvenile great white shark. SCP-777-1 does not suffocate when water is removed from the tank and is subsequently destroyed by security. Test 777-1G Materials used, sand taken from SCP-777 formed into sculpture of a cat, result, water is applied to sand, sand animates into three abnormally large scorpions. SCP-777-1 is destroyed by security without incident. Test 777-1H Materials used, sand taken from SCP-777 placed next to a small plant, result, water is applied to sand, sand animates into an unknown form of plant life which appears to strangle the plant. SCP-777-1 destroyed by security without incident. Note, it appears SCP-777-1 manifests itself as whatever is deadliest to the nearest organism. Test 777-1 Interview 777-1 Interviewed Dr. I just need to ask you a few questions about what happened. Hi Doc, fire away I guess. When did you discover SCP-777's unique quality? We've been in that damn dead for 15 minutes and just wiped some sweat off his hand and he, oh Jesus Christ. Please continue. Test 777-1 Does not respond. Number 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 7 7 7 7 8 1 2 3 4 3 6 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 The agent did not reply. 10 seconds pass. Answer the question, please. I kept on running. Those things were right behind me, I just kept on running. They got it. I think it was rats that got them, I just kept on running. Did you see anything else when you were in SCP-777? San. It was just sand. Buildings made of sand, oceans made of sand, animals made of sand. They were huge, bigger than the buildings. This was the center, yes. The center of SCP-777? No, it was closed, though. I carried on running and I went through there. Can you tell me what was in the center? There was nothing. Just, just more sand. The agent collapsed at this point and was removed by medical staff. End blog. Closing statement. Was later diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and given temporary leave for stress.
