Item #: SCP-682 Object Class: Keter Special Containment Procedures: SCP-682 is to be contained within a 30m x 30m reinforced containment chamber, constructed of special alloy R-4899, capable of withstanding extreme pressures and temperatures. The chamber is to be surrounded by an exclusion zone of 50 meters, and no personnel are allowed within this zone without explicit permission from Site-██ Supervisors. SCP-682 is to be monitored remotely via high-definition cameras, and any signs of distress or unusual behavior should be reported immediately. Communication with SCP-682 is to be conducted only by Level 4 personnel during approved sessions, with strict protocols against provoking or engaging SCP-682 unnecessarily. Reason for Object Class: SCP-682 demonstrates an extreme level of hostility towards all forms of life and possesses a comprehensive capacity for intelligence and adaptability. It harbors a deep-rooted hatred for all humans and phenomena, leading to its designation as Keter. Any attempts at neutralization and containment have resulted in catastrophic breaches, as SCP-682 has displayed the ability to adapt to any containment procedure employed against it. --- Discovery: SCP-682 was initially discovered in the swamps of the ██████████ region by a group of hikers in 19██. Upon sighting the creature, two hikers attempted to flee, but SCP-682 quickly intercepted them, displaying alarming speed and ferocity. The incident drew the attention of the Foundation after an MTF unit dispatched to deal with anomalous entities in the area noted significant eye-witness accounts regarding the massive creature. After retraining the hiking group’s memory with Class-A amnestic compounds, SCP-682 was brought into Foundation custody. Research: Several research attempts have been initiated to understand SCP-682, most notably its regenerative capabilities and adaptation to damage inflicted upon it. Sample testing has shown anomalous reactions, such as SCP-682 developing physiological defenses against chemicals, conventional weaponry, and even some anomalous entities. Addendums: Addendum 682-A: Incident Log 682-01 SCP-682 managed to breach its containment during a routine maintenance check, leading to a temporary lockdown of Site-██. Personnel utilized multiple tranquilizer darts, which were rendered ineffective as SCP-682 exhibited rapid adaptation against the sedatives. The breach resulted in ██ casualties and extensive property damage. --- Negotiations: SCP-682 has demonstrated an unexpected capacity for negotiation during high-stress scenarios, often posing philosophical arguments against containment. One such communication session indicated SCP-682's awareness and disdain for its containment. The Foundation views negotiation as a potential avenue for future compliance. However, this is largely rendered moot by SCP-682’s unpredictability and deep-seated hatred for all life. --- Journal Entries: Researcher Dr. ██████ Entry dated ██/██/20██: Today’s session with SCP-682 proved unsettling. It called me a “foolish being” and noted that its captivity was a concept of human arrogance. While I remain skeptical of its claims of self-awareness, I can't dismiss the unsettling intelligence behind its words. If it possesses such insight into its existence, how much further does it extend? Security Officer J. Brooks Entry dated ██/██/20██: One of the guards mentioned hearing SCP-682 exhibiting what sounded like laughter during its last ampoule session. I can’t shake the feeling it’s playing us all for fools. I swear it knows something that we don't, and the idea keeps me awake at night. --- Found Footage: Unedited footage recovered from surveillance cameras during Incident 682-01 shows SCP-682 engaging multiple armed guards and utilizing various adaptations in response to their attacks. The footage concludes with SCP-682 escaping its containment zone, showcasing its alarming speed and tactical ability. --- Opponent: SCP-096 Object Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures: SCP-096 is to be contained within a sealed chamber constructed with a two-meter thick steel door, leading into a secure facility devoid of visual monitors. No objects capable of visual documentation are to be present within SCP-096's containment area. Personnel interacting with SCP-096 are to undergo a thorough briefing concerning the effects of viewing the entity's face. In the event of a breach, all site personnel are to apply the emergency blindfold protocols. Reason for Object Class: SCP-096 is classified as Euclid due to its docile behavior under standard conditions yet represents a severe threat upon exposure to its face. Its unpredictability during breaches—where it relentlessly pursues any individual who witnesses its visage—necessitates stringent containment measures. --- Discovery: SCP-096 was discovered in an isolated village in ██, when reports of a “monstrous figure” led local law enforcement to its containment. Initial containment attempts were complicated by the loss of multiple officers who inadvertently encountered SCP-096’s face during apprehension. The Foundation intervened, successfully detaining the entity and subsequently erasing multiple eyewitness accounts of the incident with Class-B amnestic drugs. --- Research: SCP-096's subtle behavioral patterns and response to visual stimuli have led to significant studies. The foundation has explored the possibility of triggering SCP-096's rage from a distance, noting that even proxy photographs create a level of unpredictability. --- Addendums: Addendum 096-A: Test 096-A1 Testing has been conducted on SCP-096's responses to various visual stimuli. Following the test, unforeseen breaches occurred after a D-Class personnel viewed SCP-096's face through a two-way mirror. The personnel were unable to escape containment, resulting in significant casualties. --- Final Encounter: In a dire twist of fate, SCP-682 and SCP-096 were both inadvertently released during a containment breach at Site-██. The ensuing chaos resulted in SCP-682 and SCP-096 clashing in a battle that shook the very walls of the facility. SCP-682, mastering adaptation, launched an array of attacks while SCP-096, through sheer rage, retaliated with ferocity, demonstrating its capability to tear through steel in pursuit. Definitive Winner: After an extensive analysis of the footage retrieved, it became clear that while both entities posed extreme danger, SCP-682’s insatiable adaptability and intelligence provided it with the upper hand in the conflict. SCP-096, despite its vast physical strength, cannot match 682's regenerative capabilities. The battle concluded with SCP-682 overpowering SCP-096, cementing its title once again as "The Hard to Destroy Reptile". In the aftermath, SCP-096 was successfully recontained, although weakened; SCP-682 remained on high alert, resulting in the firm acknowledgment that the Foundation had far greater challenges ahead. Containment Status: Success for SCP-096, Failure for SCP-682. Final Note: Further discussions regarding SCP-682’s containment strategies are required immediately, as classified implications could lead to even greater existential threats for the Foundation's future.
