 Item number SCP-1006 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-1006 is contained within a 213-meter radius in ████ National Park and should be checked bi-weekly. Civilian access is to be denied by means of an endangered species cover story. Relocation of SCP-1006 is strongly discouraged due to the fragility of individual members and their sensitivity to habitat changes. Observation post-45 has been set up within the containment zone, and supplies SCP-1006 with various audiobook versions of communist and classical literature at SCP-1006's request, as well as black ink and poster board as necessary. All personnel entering the containment zone are required to wear level C hazardous materials protection due to presence of fine particulate contaminants. Upon departure, a standard decontamination procedure, as per document SFP-0371-D-B-07, is to be undertaken to prevent uncontrolled spread of SCP-1006. Description SCP-1006 is an organized collective of unknown species of the genus Oradeus. Individual members have achieved sapience through unknown means, and have established a rudimentary system of government resembling Marxist Communism. The original mass of SCP-1006 was discovered on April 1, 19 ██ by a hiking couple, who alerted park authorities. The Foundation took over after the discovery of written propaganda inside a central web, along with evidence of marked use of extremely simple tools, webs resembling faces of passers-by, and simple attempts to block off the area via fallen branches. SCP-1006 is a social community, with some members maintaining the web, and others apparently chosen to maintain the agenda of the whole. Once supplied a source of black ink and poster sheets, SCP-1006 will communicate with humans by creating signs written in English. These communications are largely centered around demands for dismantling of Western imperialism, a scathing critique of the bourgeoisie, and a request for less mosquito spraying in the surrounding area of the park. The head of the government is a large spider that resembles a wolf spider, taking out refuge in the largest tree of the cluster. Communication has been relayed with the spider, who views the outside world as something that belongs to us that is merely being maintained by the bourgeois humanoids. It has given its name as benevolent leader. SCP-1006 is currently located in a cluster of black oak trees, within a massive and complex central web, and several secondary webs. The webs appear to be very well maintained, with damage being constantly repaired. The surrounding area has a nauseating odor due to the presence of thousands of dead insects, individual members of SCP-1006, and an occasional dead bird and small animal. Closed study by arachnologists and sociologists have discovered that the members of SCP-1006 utilize a central collective think tank that passes on ideas of the benevolent leader to the collected numbers through complex frequencies in the web. Addendum The skeletal remains of a male human being were found in the area of the web, surrounded by dead insects in a variety of small shiny objects such as bottle caps and pebbles, along with the occasional pocket watch and bits of metal and apparent reverence. SCP-1006 does not allow the skeleton to be disturbed, but passive analysis indicates that the male died decades prior from a blunt trauma to the back of the head. The skeleton located near the body identifies him as a known political radical, reported missing from the nearby town of ██████, Texas, in 1976.
