 SCP-797 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-797 is to be contained in a room 6 meters in length and 6 meters in width. Walls, including floor and ceiling, must be at least 10 cm thick. Room is to be airtight with filtering system to clean the air of any bacteria. Every seven days, a human cadaver of any age, condition, gender, or race is to be deposited in SCP-797's containment. After a period of 24 hours, the cadaver is to be removed. Under no circumstances or any personnel to interact with SCP-797, should SCP-797 enter a race state, SCP-797-01 is to be eliminated via incineration and a new cadaver wheeled in, prompting a reset of schedule. Description SCP-797 is an oval-shaped object attracted to either dying or freshly deceased humans. SCP-797 is almost always seen with SCP-797-01, a collection of human flesh from various cadavers. When accompanied by SCP-797-01, subject will attempt to interact with any living human entering its containment. Seeing on SCP-797 reveals that it does not react to non-human bodies, although it is known to mistake organs from other animals to be human, provided the organ is of comparable size and shape as that of a human. The subject appears to have an understanding of human anatomy and will attempt to interact with any personnel that enters its containment, with varying degrees of success. Upon failure, SCP-797 will enter a race state and begin to dismantle SCP-797-01, launching pieces of flesh at those who may have attempted to interact with beforehand, at a velocity recorded of at least 70 meters a second. Contact with the pieces caused no harm beyond normal consequence of being exposed to rotting human flesh. The impact has been known to cause broken bones, cracked ribs, torn organs and internal hemorrhage. When without a body, SCP-797 will attempt to escape its containment. Due to its small size, about 5 cm in diameter, it will attempt to hide under the clothes of any living human that enters. It will also attempt to hide in shadows, apparently trying to trick personnel into thinking that the subject has escaped. When surrounded by SCP-797-01, SCP-797 shows no desire to escape, instead focusing its attention to attempt interaction with any living human that enters its enclosure. No contact beyond those in the containment procedures to be attempted without permission from personnel ranked level 4 or higher. SCP-797-01 is controlled by the subject using a currently unknown method. The puppet is built around SCP-797 with the subject at its center. When separated from its controller, SCP-797-01 loses all cohesiveness. Many parts must be periodically replaced due to a natural rot. Test on samples collected from the subject revealed no significant abnormalities. Rarely the subject will attempt to use SCP-797-01 to talk, producing a █████ sound accompanied by the release of bacteria in the air. If this situation occurs, no fewer than three agents are to perform Procedure 797-A. SCP-797 was found at a local hospital in ███████, Nantavut, Canada. When found, the subject was collecting various body parts from patients around the hospital, and SCP-797-01 consisted of a torso, including 30 cm of an elderly woman suffering from pancreatic cancer, both lunged from an adult ring seal, three kidneys, ring seal, human, donor organ, and a skeletal upper torso from a 13-year-old male dying of █████. Hospital evacuated and all involved citizens provided with Class B amnesiac. Addendum, the doctor attacked with SCP-797 over █████ months. I believe, through a detailed analysis of the subject's actions, we can discern more about whether or not it is sapient and its level of intelligence and began communication instead of simply entrapping.
