SCP-ZH-003

Item #: SCP-ZH-003

Containment class: Euclid

Secure Containment Procedures: SCP-ZH-003 is to be kept in the containment wing of Site-G-3-079, in a 6x6x6 meter room equipped with sound proof glass and microphones. Any USB drives on which SCP-ZH-003-05 are stored should be kept in a high value storage locker at Site-G-3. Any researcher attempting to speak with SCP-ZH-003-01 needs permission from a site director, and at least two (2) level 3 personnel, in addition to having a phycologist accompany them during this endeavor.

Description: SCP-ZH-003 is a religion originating from a corporeal entity (hereafter called SCP-ZH-003-1) of unknown origins, the main deity of the religion is called “Rodra” (羅德拉, Lúo-Dé-Lā). It is currently unknown weather “Rodra” actually exists, research is ongoing. (For more information, read document RG-42).

It is impossible to record SCP-ZH-003-01’s appearance, as any such documentation would be expunged within 5 to 10 seconds of recording. Meanwhile, a series of unknown symbols will replace the contents (hereafter called SCP-ZH-003-02). As of currently, there are no known ways to remove SCP-ZH-003-02 (read: document RG-43).

Instances of SCP-ZH-003-01 are capable of our language, and therefore, communication (read: document CG-42). However, an independent language(currently untranslatable) is used between members of their own species.

Although SCP-ZH-003-01 instances are generally not aggressive, their communications usually consist of the preaching of their religion, and the appraisal of “Rodra”. When subjects of communication are willing to convert to “Rodra”, within one person minuet the subject will become irreversibly and extremely devoted to “Rodra” (subjects are hereafter called SCP-ZH-003-04). When multiple instances of SCP-ZH-003-04 are gathered in an area, they will show signs of excitement, joy, and other such positive emotions. However, after 10 t0 15 minuets of conversing, words exchanged between subjects start to show signs of aggression. If allowed to continue, after another 4 to 9 minuets, to prove who is most devoted to “Rodra”, violence will erupt between subjects, until there is only one instance of SCP-ZH-003-04 left.

Appendix a- SCP-ZH-003-05:

Currently, it has proven successful to use SCP-ZH-003-04 to gain USB drives containing photographs of silhouettes of SCP-ZH-003-01, and text files of Appendix a- SCP-ZH-003-05. These have similar properties to SCP-ZH-003-01, as any attempt to record their contents or appearance results in failure within 10 to 12 seconds, and a black and white photograph of SCP-ZH-003-02 glyphs will replace the contents.

Appendix b- “Scripture”

SCP-ZH-003-01 instances have a habit of reading “scriptures”, all contents of these “scriptures” are made up of SCP-ZH-003-03 (currently untranslated). After extended periods without reading “scriptures”, SCP-ZH-003 will become extremely aggressive towards other life forms.
