Item #: SCP-939

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-939-1, -3, -19, -53, -89, -96, -98, -99, and -109 are kept in Cell 1163-A or 1163-B,

10 m x 10 m x 3 m containment chambers within Armed Bio-Containment Area-14. Both cells are environmentally regulated

and negatively pressurized, with walls constructed of reinforced concrete. Access to these cells is regulated by an

outer decontamination chamber and inner gas-tight steel security doors. Observation windows are constructed of laminated

ballistics glass 10 cm in thickness protected by a 100kV electrified mesh. Humidity is maintained at 100% at a

temperature of 16° C. Specimens are monitored at all times via infrared cameras. Level Four authorization is required to

access SCP-939, their containment areas, or the observation chambers.

SCP-939-101 is dismembered and stored in Cryogenic Preservation Tanks 939-101A to 939-101M within Bio-Research Area-12.

Access to SCP-939-101 requires authorization by two Clearance Level 3 personnel, one of which must be present for all

research and testing. The contents of only one (1) 939-101 tank may be accessed at any given time. Core temperature of

SCP-939-101 tissues must be monitored while removed from cryogenic preservation; should core temperature exceed 10° C,

tissues are to be returned to their corresponding tank and all testing suspended for a period of seventy-two (72) hours.

Barring core temperature exceeding 10° C, research of SCP-939-101 tissues may continue as long as its ramblings and

pleas for release may be tolerated.

Containment cells should be cleaned biweekly. While this takes place, SCP-939 specimens will be transferred to the

adjacent cell. During this time, the cell's door and observation window must be inspected for damage and repaired or

replaced accordingly.

Heavy sedation of all SCP-939 is required before any interaction, including transfer between cells and experimentation,

may take place. See Document #939-TE4 for transfer and experimentation protocol.

Level C Hazmat gear is to be worn by personnel during interactions with SCP-939 specimens and in any areas which SCP-939

have been known to inhabit. Afterward, standard decontamination procedures are to be observed by all personnel involved

to ensure no secondary spread of amnestic agents occurs.

Following Incident ABCA14-939-3, all non Class D personnel interacting with SCP-939 for any length of time are required

to wear two (2) water-proof electronic pulse monitors for the duration of such interaction. These pulse monitors will

transmit to a wireless monitoring system independent of a facility's main power grid, with at least one backup power

system on standby. Should both an individual's pulse monitors flat-line or otherwise malfunction, the wearer will be

presumed dead, personnel instructed to disregard all the wearer's subsequent vocalizations, and a breach of containment

declared automatically. Security personnel responding to such a breach are likewise required to wear these pulse

monitors.

Additionally, all live SCP-939 must be implanted with subdermal tracking devices upon capture.

Description: SCP-939 are endothermic, pack-based predators which display atrophy of various systems similar to

troglobitic organisms. The skins of SCP-939 are highly permeable to moisture and translucent red, owing to a compound

chemically similar to hemoglobin. SCP-939 average 2.2 meters tall standing upright and weigh an average of 250 kg,

though weight is highly variable. Each of their four limbs end in three-fingered claws with a fourth, opposable digit,

and are covered in setae which considerably augment climbing ability. Their heads are elongated, devoid of even

vestigial eyes or eye sockets, and contain no brain casing. The jaws of SCP-939 are lined with red, faintly luminescent

fang-like teeth, similar to those belonging to specimens of the genus Chauliodus, up to 6 cm in length, and encircled by

heat-sensitive pi
