SCP-042-CS before containment.
Item #: SCP-042-CS
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-042-CS has to be contained in a Level 3 Humanoid Containment Chamber, with at least two (2) guards armed with a knife and a machete, that have to watch the cell, so that nobody comes in, or gets out. Carbon Oxide, that SCP-042-CS breathes has to be pumped in at all times. SCP-042-CS must wear a muzzle that disables any possible means of verbal communication and while being questioned, at least three guards must be ready to silence the subject, should it try to say a "curse" in a unknown language. The unknown language SCP-042-CS is using is being researched, but aside from a few similarities with nordic languages we have found no match.
SCP-042-CS has to be fed at least two (2) kilograms of beef, or it will get into a state of aggression. When aggravated, SCP-042-CS is hard to contain its horns grow in size. It has been observed that SCP-042-CS feels immense pain, which accelerates the aggravation even more, but giving SCP-042-CS meat calms the subject and it becomes cooperative again, but personnel should never fully trust SCP-042-CS since it will always try to escape if given the chance.
If SCP-042-CS escapes a team of agents has to be deployed and stop SCP-042-CS at any cost, disable the movement and vocalization of his "curse".
Description: SCP-042-CS is a humanoid creature measuring approximately 2.12 meters in height, "beard" from an unknown organic tissue and four horns, two small horns are on its forehead and two large horns on top of its head, that can grow or retract from its skull and can grow to a size of 1.5 meters. Those horns are made from very hard bone. Where or how the horns retract into the skull of SCP-042-CS is unknown. When calm, the horns of SCP-042-CS measure at approximately 40 centimeters. Smaller horns on the forehead are black and secrete a dark venom that is poisonous to any organism and gets in through skin contact, but it seems that main weapon SCP-042-CS uses are two large main horns, that it uses to run into people, like a ram.
SCP-042-CS is able to run as fast as 80 km/h and then hit its target, which leads to immediate death, in 94,7% of the cases. When calm SCP-042-CS moves slower than the average human but after an attack, SCP-042-CS has to rest for at least 1 minute, before attacking again. Agents are advised to not shoot or try to attack SCP-042-CS but to jump away, or run because the skin of SCP-042-CS is bulletproof, but knives and other bladed weapons are more effective.
SCP-042-CS can heal extremely fast, but it has admitted, that it is not immortal and can in fact die. After being captured, it had stated multiple times, that being caught by "this species" is a disgrace and it deserves to die. SCP-042-CS has stated that the only way of dying, is to stab him into his heart, which is located on its back, under a protective armor. After searching its body, it has been confirmed that an organ similar to a heart is located on its back.
If SCP-042-CS is allowed to speak, it is possible, that it will try to speak in a unknown language and then emit a deep sound, that can terminate any subject less then 12 meters away from SCP-042-CS. No material has been found to stop this sound, and by using vibrations, SCP-042-CS can disrupt the structure of organic tissue and any person hit by the sound will "melt". No other materials are harmed by this sound and it is certain, that SCP-042-CS is targeting only organic matter.
Test on tissue of SCP-042-CS
Several experiments have been conducted using different samples from SCP-042-CS, even though we have learned new information about the physiology of the subject, we are not yet able to recognize any of the materials, found in the body of SCP-042-CS.
Experiment 042-CS-01 - Beard
While collecting the sample of the "beard" SCP-042-CS has stated, that it causes it immense pain, and the tissue started to bleed. It has been found, that this tissue contains nerve endings and capillaries that convey purple colored liquid, that works as blood in the body of SCP-042-CS. It has also been found, that SCP-042-CS uses its "beard and hair" as a breathing mechanism, that extracts carbon dioxide and then SCP-042-CS exhales pure oxygen out of its nose.
Experiment 042-CS-02 - Frontal horns
A sample of poison from the frontal horns of SCP-042-CS has been collected. After testing the poison on subject D-054223, it has been observed that it takes approximately 1.2 seconds to terminate an average human male subject, by stopping all of the heart activity. After testing the poison on an adult elephant, the poison took only 5.7 seconds to terminate the subject, meaning that it is extremely dangerous. We are trying to find a way to cover the frontal horns of SCP-042-CS but as of this time, no way of stopping the poison has been found, since the poison flows at all times and collects in the eyes of SCP-042-CS where it is absorbed back to its body. This is also a reason why SCP-042-CS has visible dark marks under its eyes.
Experiment 042-CS-03 - Upper horns
Material from which horns are created is unknown, but it has been found that the whole skeleton of SCP-042-CS, which is similar to a human skeleton, except its horns and armor on its back, is made out of the same material. When the subject has been asked to provide a sample of its horns, it agreed, saying that "he is a prisoner, so we should treat him like a prisoner. Part of the horn has been cut off, but SCP-042-CS did not experience any pain, since it does not contain any nerves, like the "beard". After two (2) hours the horn was completely healed.
Experiment 042-CS-03 - Skin
Skin of the subject is very strong, compared to a human, but it does not restrict the movement. I have been found, that it is highly reactive with water and upon contact, the water will split into hydrogen and oxygen. We are not sure why water reacts this way but other substances do not. Ice and steam did not show the same reaction. The skin of SCP-042-CS can survive temperatures from -80 to 120 degrees celsius and it is resilient to blunt injury and even bullets, but the sharp object has been found to be very effective.
Interview with SCP-042-CS
Two days after SCP-042-CS has been captured, it has been decided to take off the silencing mask and try to interview SCP-042-CS. SCP-042-CS has been very docile and Dr. Arnes went into the room, alongside with four agents, that took off the mask from SCP-042-CS
Interviewer: Dr. Arnes
Interviewed: SCP-042-CS
[START LOG]
Dr. Arnes: Hello.
(no reaction)
Dr. Arnes: So, the rules are simple. If you don't try using that gibberish that killed half of our team, we are gonna let you speak, if you have something to say.
SCP-042-CS: I am quite surprised that a species like yours can speak at least one normal language, that you stole from us.
Dr. Arnes: What do you mean by that?
SCP-042-CS: I know what you think. That you are the most advanced species, that you can give us funny names and make us bow to you, so you can think, that you are better than us.
Dr. Arnes: And who exactly are you? Should we know your race?
(horns of SCP-042-CS grew approximately 12 centimeters in length)
SCP-042-CS: Yes you should. We are the founding fathers of this planet and then a new species just drop down from the sky in a rock, takes half of our land and grows into this.
Dr. Arnes: Wait, from the sky? You mean, that you have seen the birth of mankind?
SCP-042-CS: Birth and slow death. You have forgotten about nature and you just started using it. You think that technology makes you better. You were a weak species and we decided to help you, and that was the biggest mistake we have ever made. I read your books. You believe that you evolved from monkeys, that before you dinosaurs existed and that you fed yourself with mammoth meat, that you have killed using only sticks. Nonsense! It was nothing like that. Before that everything had its own place. We were the first creatures after we came to nature. We were created so that we could shape the nature and it went well. Everything started with just a few basic materials and from that new animals were created. I think you know what periodic table looks like. Everything was created from these basic elements, except you. You were an accident. (laughs)
Dr. Arnes: Wait, an accident? You mean, you have created nature, but not us?
SCP-042-CS: I'm not saying we created nature. Nature existed before us, but we gave it shape. You were different. You were a mistake. You fell down, a new element that was not supposed to be on this beautiful earth, but we gave you a chance. We took your element and mixed it with others and you were created. Disgusting creatures that started to think that they are something better.
Dr. Arnes: Did you also create other SCPs? You know, creatures that are here with you?
SCP-042-CS: No, we just gave the first impulse, that started the evolution of all things and we observed. Like our own child, that grows and evolves. Trees were small and weak, and they had to fight to be stronger, they grew and adapted. Other animals too, but not you. You got a kick start because of us and you thought that you could be better than anyone and anything. Your intelligence grew faster than we have thought a so you got the idea to use nature more.
Dr. Arnes: Why didn't you stop us then?
SCP-042-CS: Oh, you humans are so… impulsive. You think you can just wave your hand and all the problems will be fixed, but that's not how nature works. We just observe your demise and we wait how long it will take before you destroy yourself. After that, we just give another push, so that nature will grow once more.
Dr. Arnes: So you are telling me, that you created everything? Nature or even the whole world?
SCP-042-CS: Oh, so you don't believe me? That's fine. As I said, we created you from elements and so we can take them apart.
(Horns of SCP-042-CS rapidly grow and the subjects stands up while reciting words in the unknown language. Agents quickly reacted and SCP-042-CS was silenced and brought back to the containment chamber.)
