SCP-3666

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3666 must be stored i n or around the interplanetary system known as the SOL system. While the precise location cannot AND MUST NOT be recorded or transmitted between Foundation personnel, the current orbit of the celestial body containing SCP-3666 is routinely uploaded and downloaded between three Foundation satellites unknowingly manned by by O5 during weekly leadership review. Coordinates are maintained in case of an XK-CLASS end-of-the-world scenario.

LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE ACCESS REQUIRED

SCP-3666 is contained within SCP-3666-1, a boulder-like container that quickly grows around SCP-3666 when and if it is rendered inactive. Randomly-selected and rotated Foundation personnel are responsible for blinded maintenance and remote upkeep of sixteen solar-powered nuclear cluster thusters triggered by any movement in or around SCP-3666-1.How then, do you propose SCP-3666 be activated in a XK-CLASS? Bloody engineers. — Dr. K

After having been propelled into orbit by Foundation personnel provided with permanent amnesiatics during Operation Planet Hell, SCP-3666 is expected to maintain course indefinitely. The true task of Foundation personnel that are unknowingly responsible for monitoring SCP-3666 is to detect and notify O5 of orbital anomalies. As of CURRENT DATE no pauses in the madness of that orbit has been delivered or observed.

Description: SCP-3666 is a one-piece suit of advanced body armor, able to withstand conventional firearms, explosives, extreme temperatures and penetrative interstellar weaponry. The knowledge of SCP-3666 is both dangerously memetic and compulsion-forming. Individuals that learn of SCP-3666 exhibit immediate and quickly-growing compulsions and intrusive thoughts related to acquiring or inhabiting SCP-3666. Knowledge of SCP-3666’s location, even if the information is unconfirmed or made up on the spot, intensifies this effect tenfold. Exposed individuals quickly progress to physical attempts, often past the limits of their own body, to locate SCP-3666.

SCP-3666 was recovered in the Ontario province of eastern Canada when Foundation agents were deployed to aid the Canadian government after a remote military base suffered 98% personnel loss four minutes and fifty-seven seconds into an engagement. Documentation recovered from the site describes an asteroid-like impact, followed by an abrubtly-interrupted investigation.

Foundation Strike Team Canuck Maples similarly suffered extreme casualties (Cpt. Surfont technically survived due to extreme cranial damage and subsequent loss of bodily control) until Command personnel processed field reports and self-administered permanent memory wipes after deploying autonomous drone recovery and instituting the processes of Order Lazarus in order to secure and contain SCP-3666.

See Mission Log below.

ST: Command, do you copy? We're taking heavy fire -- I repeat --
HQ: Falcon, report. What is your position?
ST: It's -- it's a man-thing, humanoid -- it tore Gibson's spine out -- took his gun, screaming nonstop --
HQ: Are you maintaining visual on the bogey?
ST: It took a magnetic slug to the throat, didn't flinch -- spewing red goo with heavy impacts but appears undamaged --
HQ: Falcon, fall back, reinforcements inbound. Repeat, reinforcements are inbound --
ST: This is my chance -- it's headed straight for the armory, it wants the big guns -- I want the big ... guns
HQ: Falcon, do you copy? Falcon--

Drone footage confirmed remaining Foundation agent was able to temporarily subdue SCP-3666 by using a fragmentation grenade to set off a chain reaction in the base armory. The resulting explosions tore the roof off of the building and left a crater soaked in red liquid exuded by SCP-3666. Video evidence displays the Foundation agent carefully approaching, then sprinting toward the unmarred but immobile SCP-3666. Once the agent is within reach of SCP-3666, he can be seen reaching out to touch it, at which point SCP-3666 opens along the chest cavity and allows the agent to enter it.

Further strike team communication was limited to demented screaming, with references to intense visual hallucination, as well as persistent satanic imagery and invocations of demonic names also referenced in pre-Biblical Proto-Judean texts.

Anti-personnel drone weaponry required an additional three hours and thirty-seven minutes to render SCP-3666 inert after Agent Thompson examined and entered it.

Footnotes

Has anyone considered the fact that we don’t have the faintest clue of where this thing came from or what it’s made of? Or the implications that it looks like a human being? Are we supposed to allow a potential anchor to orbit in our own solar system waiting until God knows what arrives to reclaim it? I’ve spent the past three weeks (according to a very faulty hand-written journal) writing these three sentences between these disgusting forget-me-now pills and SCP-3666-induced muscle spasms encouraging me to murder Dr. O and steal his access to the blind maintenance tech teams. — Dr. Kleckner
Dr. Kleckner, we discussed this several times but due to this regimen of 05 anti-memetics we have us on, I thought it best to commit it to writing: Quite frankly, SCP-3666 hasn’t moved in long enough that I just can’t spare the brainpower to worry about it. I have at least a dozen potential XK-classes sitting in my office (not ‘my’ office, but –) so at this point I’d welcome a visitor if just to show us how the damn thing works.
