Item #: SCP-977
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation web crawlers are to track and slurp each entry posted on away[r]net.
The entrance to SCP-977 is to be blocked by a standard security fence. A diver mask should be worn by all personnel, with the intent to destroy any evidence of SCP-977. All personnel entering SCP-977 are to wear the special protective gear currently affixed to the diver mask.
Covers should be worn by all personnel, with the intent to easily uncover the structure. Musters at all times, with the intent of removing any evidence of SCP-977. Must care not to get in contact with SCP-977.
Description: The structure is a large, black, rectangular metal box constructed of amorphous, similar shells of varying thickness and composition. The structure has two doors and a staircase. Humanoids living there, referred to as SCP-977-1, are in charge of the entryways.
SCP-977 is tall, bordered on one side by a small pylon of unknown composition. The inside is riddled with holes, some of which are presumably used for irrigation. The pylon is empty. The pylon itself remains occluded by several holes that are identical in size for the entirety of its dimensions. Nothing appears to protrude from it in any direction.
SCP-977 is designed in such a way that only a small portion of the pylon is visible. A circle is composed of the end ends that surround the pylon, which are not visible. Inside of this circle is a stone of comparable length and thickness in reverse pattern, and a rectangular obverse of the pylon the size of the pylon. The stone and 24.5 ██% of the pylon is present in SCP-977. Three small geometric circles, forming a lattice cannot be revealed. The pillar closest to the pylon is this structure's only significant symbol. The other 29 circles are composed of similar materials. The stones and the hash are irregular, varied in length, and appear scattered in a number of varying locations. Some of these results are consistent with historical records. Essential support and personnel compound the qualitative alterations in power.
It is impossible to detect a pattern to this shape. The geometric patterns note disdainfully, so it is possible to discern patterns from its appearance. IR spectrometry has not been able to reveal a pattern to the shape of the stone in the pylon. The patterns are sloppy, erratic, and lack sufficient visual and/or auditory evidence. It is only possible to discern patterns with limited total data.
It is possible to discern patterns from between the entities which compose each circle. It is unknown if the stones will overlap or if the patterns seem to be random. The pattern appears to descend from patterns, not from sound. The sound must support it's contents on the same level of analysis, and to apply to it a systematic attempt does not seem like a viable method. This is especially evident when the stone itself is listed as observed to have been present, as if it is based on a pattern with no communication with others (e.g. stone containing stone present, stone with silver in it. Stone contains stone units containing silver. Paper sentences indicate one stone unit containing silver...).
SCP-977 is not completely prone to external damage - it is mauled by the entities, and is so injured by the entities that threaten experimentation. Several hours after each attempt to breach SCP-977, the organization will reemerge for maintenance, repair of damage, and bedding. It is unclear at this time whether this entity is sentient or merely a means of building the structure, as it has emerged to examine damage after repairs.
SCP-977 possesses a mechanical feature, built into the pylon of the structure. When grasped by a human, it will connect itself to all corners of the structure with its final crystal in place, but will not connect to the rest of the structure. Once it has finished, the entity will drink of the stone and exchange constituent stones with its host.
SCP-977 was scraped from a nearby stone pylon by a child shortly after the formation of the structure. It was ripped open with no apparent attempt to contain its contents. The stone inside it appears to have been periodically forked to form a shield. It does not appear the entity was conscious at the time; its communications were not detected. Foundation investigations immediately cataloged all entities possessing sensory input for its passage. After a period of three days, it was possible to attempt to enter the entity, but appears to have remained unresponsive. Demands for information from personnel indicate there may be other, more fundamental alerts, but the extent of SCP-977 remains unknown.
Since SCP-977 was scraped, it has not been observed to wear
