 Item number, SCP-418. Object Class, Safe. Special Containment Procedures SCP-418 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell with category 3 surveillance. SCP-418 is to undergo weekly examinations to ensure that the removal of SCP-418-1 is not causing harm and that all portions of SCP-418 are still in place. No object with an edge capable of puncturing normal human skin, including materials such as paper or that is capable of being converted into such an object is permitted in SCP-418's containment cell. As reading is not available to SCP-418, he is provided with a library of contemporary and classical television and films stored as media files on a modified and padded laptop computer. This privilege is to be suspended if at any time SCP-418 appears to be attempting to damage said laptop to gain access to a sharp edge. SCP-418-1 is to be kept at internal body temperature in a medical containment unit in a secure location. Should SCP-418 become a security or containment threat, SCP-418-1 is to be incinerated. SCP-418 is not to be informed of its location. In description, SCP-418 is a human male of Native American descent in his late 30s, exact age unknown, with black hair and brown eyes. His physical fitness and intelligence are above average, but not to an extraordinary degree. He possesses the capacity of autonomous anatomic separation, a trait he claims to be hereditary. SCP-418 has extensive experience as an industrial saboteur and related fields. SCP-418 was apprehended while infiltrating site under the employ of an individual currently believed to be affiliated with Marshall Carter and Dark LTD. When SCP-418 is injured in such a way that his skin is broken, the injury will near instantaneously grow in length until it severs a portion of SCP-418's body. Such injuries are uniform and clean, with no variation or resistance due to tissue type. Despite the severe appearance of these injuries, the portions of SCP-418's body will continue to function as if they were still connected to each other, even if an organ is severed. For example, blood in a blood vessel that has been severed will travel from one segment to the other instantly, as though the gap was not there. The same is true of materials taken in by the body. SCP-418 can drink and eat while his head is severed and can hear through a severed ear. If the severed portion is placed back in contact with the location from which it was severed, it reconnects with no sign of injury. SCP-418 is trained extensively with his abilities and is able to consciously control many muscle functions not normally under human control, such as peristalsis, allowing him to use his severed portions and removed organs for a variety of purposes. SCP-418-1 is SCP-418's heart, which was removed as a control on SCP-418's behavior. Interview, SCP-418-3 Interviewed, SCP-418 Interviewer, Mr. Melos, Navajo Speaker, and Dr. Lee, assigned researcher. Also present, three members of Foundation Security. This is the third attempt at an opening interview. Both previous attempts were hindered by an apparent inability by SCP-418 to speak English. SCP-418's language of communication identified as Navajo. Interview intense or as follows. 1. Gain base profile information on SCP-418. 2. Assertain the reason for SCP-418's intrusion into the Foundation. 3. Assertain a broad understanding of SCP-418's abilities to facilitate primary containment. SCP-418 was, at the time, referred to under its provisional reference code TCP, Temporary Containment Procedure, AAC-1, on all transcripts. All such references have now been edited to SCP-418. This dialogue represents conversation translated from Navajo. Site B is the housing site of SCP-418, which necessitates personnel to rotate a series of dietary supplement added to various water supplies designated A through F. Begin log. Mr. Melos. Very well, Doctor. Let's get started. Do you wish to direct the questioning or shall I? Dr. Lee. I trust you, Melos. Just get this guy to talk to me. Mr. Melos. Good day. My name is Mr. Melos. I understand you seem to only speak Navajo. I need to establish what you know about us and what will happen to you. Do you understand? SCP-418. I understand you, white man. Mr. Melos. Really? Hmm. Can I offer you tea? I typically have a cup around now. I can easily have another brought in. SCP-418. Shake's head. Mr. Melos. What then? Coffee? Water? SCP-418. Water. Mr. Melos. What about you, Dr. Lee? Cup of tea? Dr. Lee. Now? Really? Oh well. Um, why not? Mr. Melos. Indicates Foundation Security Team Member. Two teas and one water. Don't forget the milk. Nothing special. Just tea. Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, who are you and why are you here? SCP-418. I am laughing badger. Mr. Melos. Indeed. And why are you here? SCP-418. Your people hold- This isn't a front to my people. Mr. Melos. I see. Ah, the tea. Doctor, it sounds like he was here for SCP- When did you first learn- Dr. Lee. Wait. Mr. Melos. I need to talk to you. Do you have the logs we pulled? Thank you. Mr. Melos. Wait here. Well, it isn't exactly a thing you have much say in, is it? Mr. Melos and Dr. Lee exit. Log suspended for 17 minutes. Dr. Lee and Mr. Melos return. Mr. Melos. We know. SCP-418. Know what, white man? Dr. Lee. Drop the act. You came here for SCP- Look. Dr. Lee holds up an image. This is a little thing called CCTV. It is a nice little image of you reacting in shock at seeing it through the observation deck window. You didn't know it was here. Mr. Melos. That struck us as odd. Then there was something you said. A front. It's just the way you said that word. Sounded a little like you were from Brooklyn. Dr. Lee. Now you haven't touched that cup of water. Probably because when you heard someone say water D, you thought it was some kind of drug. But it isn't. Mr. Melos. So we think you are stalling for time. Maybe you're expecting rescue. And I have to say, you have stone walled marvelously until this point. Dr. Lee. True enough. But now I reckon you better quit it. Or we will start with a more interesting kind of interrogation. SCP-418. Okay, okay. You caught me. So f***ing what? Why should I tell you anything anyway? Dr. Lee. Well, I'm sorry to have wasted your time, Mr. Melos. You can leave now. If he gives us more trouble, we will just have to resort to supplementary interrogation. Mr. Melos leaves. SCP-418 clearance no longer required by Melos. Revoked. Dr. Lee. Right, you bastard. You just made me look like a f***. So you either tell me what I want to know or I will make you wish you had. SCP-418. So what do you want to know? Dr. Lee. Who the f*** are you? Why the f*** are you here? And what the f*** do you do? SCP-418. I won't tell you my name or betray my employer. Bad for business. But if you want to know what I do... SCP-418 lunges at Dr. Lee, holding what was later identified as a 23 centimeter long section of large intestine. He throws this at Dr. Lee and brandishes a foundation combat knife at the security personnel. An altercation ensues and SCP-418 is restrained by foundation security. SCP-418 managed to incapacitate one guard and permanently blind another in this altercation. Security guards assigned to SCP-418 in future are to be issued with batons rather than edged weapons. The intestine proceeds to strangle Dr. Lee, who falls unconscious. Dr. Lee later freed and revived by security. End log. Closing statement. Dr. Lee made a full recovery. SCP-418 appeared to have stolen the knife from the security guard who brought the cup of water and used it to sever a portion of his intestine under the table. All further interviews with SCP-418 to be conducted in a minimal equipped cell. No rescue attempt was made for three months. Following the realization he had been abandoned, SCP-418 became more amenable. Stating his mission was to retrieve compromising data on Dr. Lee, he claims not to know his employer, enacted only through a third party. Such third party contact and the current role of Dr. Lee make MC&D the most likely employer. SCP-418 testing log. Test sequence. SCP-4187. Test sequence conducted on date expunged by Dr. Lee. Stimulus 1. A standard foundation combat knife applied to the wrist. Result. SCP-418's hand severed. SCP-418 reports mild discomfort and that this is a normal reaction to his abilities. Approximately 0.5 cc of blood lost due to the cut. No lasting injury of any kind. Comments. A baseline for SCP-418's abilities. The potential for the use of SCP-418 nerve tissue for data transmission to be investigated. Stimulus 2. Zinc-plated masonry nail. 60 grams. Applied with a standard maintenance hammer to SCP-418's hand. Result. Nail driven into SCP-418's hand. SCP-418's hand is divided in half laterally across the point of injury. SCP-418 reported a brief moment of extreme pain at point of injury. Comments. No lasting injury. SCP-418 requested a break in testing. Request denied. Stimulus 3. A standard maintenance hammer applied to SCP-418's left forearm. Result. SCP-418's arm broken. SCP-418 reports extreme pain. Comments. SCP-418 healed within human norms. SCP-418's arm then severed due to the action of sharp bone fragments on his own abilities. SCP-418's arm kept separated for the duration of the healing process to observe the process and to prevent it being severed by the unhealed edges of the bones. SCP-418's morale and cooperation have been significantly damaged since this test. Stimulus 4. A standard Bunsen burner applied to the back of SCP-418's left hand. Result. SCP-418's hand burned. SCP-418 reports significant pain and assaults Dr.... Comments. Injury heals within human norms. Stimulus 5. 27 bullets fired from a standard foundation assault rifle, 19 of which hit. Result. SCP-418 reports extreme pain from each of the successful hits. Each severs SCP-418 as with Stimulus 2. SCP-418 goes into shock and is reassembled, given medical treatment and returned to his containment cell. Comments. No lasting injury. SCP-4181 recovered at this point. Note. Dr.... was not permanently injured. Said doctor has been mentored on proper test planning with regards to SCP morale and cooperation. While the data is valuable, such intensive testing should be reserved for overtly hostile SCPs. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-417, the Plague Tree, right now.
