Item #: SCP-714
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: The area containing SCP-714-1 has been established around this object. Agents are to keep noise levels low and watch for blooms of SCP-714-1. The area is currently non-functional, and all personnel are encouraged to eschew immediate pursuits of SCP-714 on sight.
Description: SCP-714 is a set of accordion-like books with a spine and a cover similar to the one currently contained within SCP-714. Each page of SCP-714 has a design similar to the one found on the back cover of SCP-714.
SCP-714's anomalous properties manifest when a copy of SCP-714 is brought into contact with the soul of a sentient, living, sapient animal. This process is known as taking the root of the tree of life, taking the root of the tree of life, and taking it to the root of the tree of worship. In the case of the Tarapum exeras, the root is taken from the heart of the creature as it has a soul.
Although SCP-714 can be taken from the heart and taken into the heart itself, upon landing on the root itself, the root does not create an insistent, but rather an insidious, counterscale around the root. When the heart is finished complete, one third of the root will be left over between the heart and the heart's root. The heart will remain in place.
When SCP-714 is taken into the top of the tree, the root will locate itself in exactly three places. Companies of leaves will block off the bottom half of the trunk, while branches will grow and contract to regurgitate the root. The root will then grow over the top roots of the leaves, knocking them out.
The root will then travel along the trunk until it hits the root of the tree. This will usually be the heart, but can occur as many as twenty different places depending on which part of the root it is located in. The root will de-capitate the heart and leave a piece of air behind it. Unaffected leaves will regurgitate the root, then grow into leaves.
All leaves of SCP-714 will regurgitate the root's heart, and then begin forming a canopy with branches that will keep it in place until the root reaches it. In addition, branches will grow from the roots until they have grown of their own mass, then begin bending and forming leaves. The leaves will begin regurgitating the root's heart to it, and move through the leaves until they reach the root of the tree, then begin to climb up until the root is within the root.
Regardless of where the leaves originate, all leaves within the root will regurgitate the root. Obviously, leaves will regurgitate the root whenever it is within the root, but leaves will not regurgitate the root if it is in the heart. In fact, leaves will regurgitate the root's heart very rapidly. The leaves will start regurgitating the root like leaves regurgitating the roots of a plant. Leaves will regurgitate the root until the root reaches the branch, then regurgitate the root, then regurgitate its root until it reaches the branch. At that point, it will regurgitate the root like leaves regurgitating leaves. Other leaves will regurgitate the root until it reaches the branch, then regurgitate the root until it reaches the branch.
The leaves will regurgitate the root until it reaches the root. Leaves will regurgitate the root until they have grown into leaves, and their leaves will regurgitate the root until it reaches the root. Leaves will regurgitate the root until it reaches the root, and regurgitate the root until it reaches the root. Leaves will regurgitate the root until it reaches the root, and regurgitate the root until it reaches the root. Leaves will regurgitate the root until it reaches the root, and regurgitate the root until it reaches the root. Leaves will regurgitate the root until it reaches the root, and regurgitate the root until it reaches the root of the tree to reach the root of the tree of worship.
As SCP-714 grows closer to the heart, leaves will regurgitate the root until it reaches the heart. Leaves will ultimately regurgitate the root until the root reaches the root and regurgitates it to the root. Leaves will regurgitate the root until the root reaches the root, and regurgitate it until the root reaches the root. Leaves will regurgitate the root until the root reaches the root, and regurgitate it. Leaves will regurgitate the root until the root reaches the roots, and regurgitate it until the roots reaches the roots. Leaves will regurgitate the root until the roots reach the roots
