Item #: SCP-ES-010
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The occupied terrain by SCP-ES-010 it will be kept isolated from the civil public by means of 2.5 meter high concrete walls; Aesthetically the wall must show signs of structural damage and wear, reinforcing the alibi that the land behind it is abandoned.
Camouflaged surveillance cameras will be posted around the entire perimeter, monitoring activity both outside and inside the retaining walls; local police officials will have orders to remove and arrest anyone with the intention of entering the land, in the event that the breach has already occurred, the team of agents ready for the protection and monitoring of SCP-ES-010 -1 must intercept the intruders and proceed with their termination.
Researchers, agents and Class D personnel accessing the SCP-ES-010 terrain must be instructed to only walk along the available paths, regardless of their route or difficulty; all staff members must be equipped with a class 3 HAZMAT suit, with their own air supply. All contact with the vegetation of the place is strictly prohibited; In the event that any staff member violates this regulation, the entrance must be sealed, the perimeter secured and all personnel within the grounds considered deceased (KIA).
Description: SCP-ES-010 is a piece of land measuring approximately 564 m2 located at the La Estrella intersection, in the small city of ███ ██████, about 42 km from Caracas Venezuela. The terrain is irregular, as it is located on a steep slope. Much of the terrain is covered by downed trees, tall brush, and leafy vegetation; however, it is traveled along several interconnected dirt roads in a random pattern; In addition, an old residential building from the colonial period is located in the center of the lot. The building has 2 floors, is painted white (a color that is still preserved in a large part of its façade) and shows evidence of fire damage. such a fire actually happened in 19██ and is historically recorded by various literary and journalistic publications related to the city,
Within the terrain, a humanoid entity (SCP-ES-010-1) continually wanders; a mixed-race man in his late 50s, with abundant graying facial hair, of a slight build, and wearing worn and torn clothing, along with gardening overalls.
Said entity is dedicated daily to the care of the vegetation present on the land, using a set of rusty gardening tools, mostly broken; In addition, at first glance, none of the work carried out by SCP-ES-010-1 seems to have any results, since the vegetation continues immutable after them. However, in periods consistent with the region's weather patterns, a dense mist will cover the terrain; It is not an unusual phenomenon in the city, since it is located at a high altitude above sea level, however, the concentration and density of fog within the terrain is much higher than those presented in the rest of the city, which makes visibility difficult.
In general, the subjects who have entered the land during the presence of the fog describe a sensation of general well-being, describing pleasant aromas, but maintaining the pattern of being floral or vegetable aromas; colors pleasing to the eye, a comfortable room temperature, sounds and even pleasant music, all this being subjective according to the tastes of the subjects. However, upon removing them from the land, the subjects will show obsessive behavior, seeking any possible method to return to the site, including violence and hostility. The use of amnestics has not proven to be effective, the immediate termination of the intruders was authorized after the incident SCP-ES-010-C.
Studies carried out on air samples from the terrain during the presence of fog show the existence of an unknown psychotropic substance; small amounts of it have an extreme addictive effect, resulting in hostile demonstrations by subjects removed from the area. Side effects of inhaling this substance include strong hallucinations; Witnesses assured that during the presence of fog the rough terrain was replaced by large, neat-looking gardens; They also ensure that the colonial building did not show any signs of damage.
Despite the deplorable visibility conditions, it has been possible to determine that SCP-ES-010-1 does not make a body present while the mist covers the terrain, however, the subjects mention having heard a voice similar to what would be expected from a elderly man, encouraging them to “take a closer look at their work and enjoy the scenery”, accompanied by a warning not to walk on the gardens or touch the vegetation. In the event that the subject does not obey this instruction, SCP-ES-010-1 will appear behind him and immobilize him to proceed to amputate the part of the body that has come into contact with the vegetation. 010-1 seems to randomly choose the tool to be used to carry out the amputations. Any companion will be the victim of the same attack if he shows any gesture of displeasure, including exclamations, shouting, disapproving facial gestures or any other body language that demonstrates such emotions. These attacks not only happen exclusively when there is fog in the area, but any contact with the vegetation of the place will have the same result.
Recovery Data: According to data extracted from the local historical archive, the house and adjacent land would have belonged to Rómulo Torres Sosa, a notable individual from the regional upper class. Everything indicates that the building would serve as a farm, where the landowner had various crops of Fragaria and Prunus persica of which he made an important commercial use.
According to the files, in 19██ a fire would have been recorded on the property late at night. The by then poorly equipped local fire brigade was unable to contain the flames. Witnesses reported repeated explosions and flames of exotic colors, just as would happen if different chemical materials were in combustion. This is noted as unusual in view of the agricultural nature of the site, not related to the containment of hazardous chemicals or explosives. There were █ deaths corresponding to the service personnel, the two daughters and the wife of Torres Sosa. On the other hand, no remains were found of Torres Sosa and the family gardener, Jaime Hernández, who were presumed missing. The reasons are unknown
Local investigative bodies would carry out explorations of the area; The first recorded appearances of SCP-ES-010-1 would manifest, leaving a total of ██ casualties. The news of the death of the investigators would not take long to reach Caracas, where Fundación agents obtained permission from Sitio-Whiskey-01-CCS to follow up on the matter. Containment specialists were dispatched to the area and the current retaining walls were erected, with a balance of ██ casualties in class D personnel; at this point the Foundation understood that the trigger for hostilities was physical contact with vegetation. The necessary alibis were established as to the destination of the land and those who died during the various incidents, and selective destruction of the bibliographical material related to the matter was carried out.
Date: 08/████
Procedure: Gradual introduction of 6 staff members Class D in order to explore the limits of the anomalous qualities of SCP-ES-010 and 010-1.
Name: 010-B-1
Subject: D-32579. 40-year-old Caucasian man convicted of first-degree murder of his wife.
** Test: ** The subject was ordered to enter the perimeter of SCP-ES-010 and walk the paths without touching the vegetation until he was within the limit of visual contact, before losing it, Control ordered him to stop . Subsequently, he would be ordered to pluck a leaf from a nearby fern.
Result: SCP-ES-010-1 immediately made its body present, amputating the subject's hand who fell backwards onto an adjacent bush, 010-1 then proceeded to separate the torso from the limbs with new amputations. A Containment Specialist let out a scream that triggered an attack by 010-1 against her, in turn, the other members of Control launched a noisy flight thwarted by 010-1 who caused 100% casualties.
Notes: The trails are safe areas, but the extent to which is unknown. 010-1 only amputates those parts of the body that have come into contact with vegetation, however, the death of the BLACK INK Researcher and the rest of the Control team was through openly lethal attacks. I will request permission to carry out additional tests. This time it will be necessary to leave Control in a safe area – Dr. Radonski
Name: 010-B-2
Subject: D-32580. 32-year-old brunette woman sentenced for first degree murder. Equipped with: Video camera on tripod and radio (Control located outside of SCP-ES-010 due to the previous incident). D-32581. 42-year-old Caucasian man sentenced for sexual assault of minors. Equipped with: radio for contact with Control.
Test: D-32580 is ordered to explore the trails without touching vegetation for exactly 14:37 minutes until Control radios to stop. Subsequently, he is asked to place the camera to the side in the middle of the path pointing at her, then he is asked to touch the top of his head to a nearby bush without using his hands. D-32581 is ordered to maintain his position until D-32580 is executed by SCP-ES-010-1.
Result: D-32580 manages to navigate the trails without incident. Upon touching the vegetation, SCP-ES-010-1 instantly decapitates the subject, his corpse falls on the undergrowth; 010-1 ignores the body. D-32581 is unaware of what has happened. SCP-ES-010-1 does not attack D-32581.
Notes: Confirmed hypothesis, SCP-ES-010-1 amputates the parts of the body that come into contact with the vegetation; seems to ignore the victim once the victim dies. Also, it doesn't attack others unless they witness the death of the other subject, although I sense there's something else – Dr. Radonski
Name: 010-B-3
Subject: D- 32581.
Test: D-32581 is ordered to explore the trail following D-32580's footprints. You are asked to keep the frequency open to listen to ambient sound.
Result: D-32581 groans upon looking at D-32580's corpse; SCP-ES-010-1 appears behind him and [DATA EXPUNGED]. D-32581 passes away on camera. A team of forensic agents are ordered to collect the corpses without directly touching the vegetation. There are no incidents.
Name: 010-B-4
Subject: D-32585. A 27-year-old Afro-descendant man sentenced for murder, robbery, illegal possession of weapons and drug trafficking. Equipped with: Video camera that transmits live to Control, radio. D-32586. 21-year-old brown man, blind, deaf.
Test: D-32585 is ordered to carefully guide D-32586 through the trails for a total of 7:23 minutes. D-32585 is then ordered to separate 5 meters from D-32586 and lean against an adjacent tree trunk.
Result: D-32585 is killed by SCP-ES-010-1 after several attacks. D-32586 is unaware of anything that happened. D-32586 is successfully extracted without incident.
Notes: It is evident that SCP-ES-010-1: A) Attacks only when a living human being comes into contact with the vegetation of the site intentionally or accidentally. B) Attacks others present when they witness and react to the aggression. It remains to be clarified if this territorial behavior extends to other elements of the terrain; colonial house, here we come – Dr. Radonski.
Name: 010-B-5
Subject: D-32591. 38-year-old Caucasian man sentenced for sexual assault. Equipped with: Video camera and radio. Note: Aerial reconnaissance has allowed a partial mapping of the trails, the effective path drawn towards the building.
Test: D-32591 is guided by radio to the location of the building. You are instructed to enter the house without touching any type of vegetation. He is later ordered to tour the house.
Result: D-32591 manages to reach the building without incident, he still manages to enter it. Inside the building, the panorama coincides with the initial descriptions of the survivors of the Initial Containment process. Both the subject and Control, through the camera, see SCP-ES-010-1 sitting on a carved wooden piece of furniture consistent with the time period of the building. Subject shows intention to retreat, but is ordered to hold his position and told that 010-1's presence was not a threat. D-32591 manages to explore the house effectively, a total of 0 rooms are registered, all in a state of abandonment; Fire damage is evident throughout the building. Throughout the tour, 010-1 appears to guide D-32591 through the area, recounting anecdotes about the previous residents; He is never hostile at any time. D-32591 finally enters a room with the inscription "Jaime" on the door, 010-1 warns him not to go in, but Control orders him otherwise. [DATA EXPUNGED] D-32591 passes away, his body cannot be recovered.
Notes: It seems that "Jaime" doesn't mind that they walk through his master's house, but when they get into his room he throws a tantrum of a thousand demons… - Dr. Radonski
Name : 010-B-6
Subject: D-32598. 24-year-old black man sentenced for second degree murder. Equipped with: Camera with tripod, microphone, radio and garden shears.
Test: D-32598 is instructed to proceed 50 meters through the trails, set up the camera pointing at him, and proceed to cut a branch from a nearby bush.
Result: SCP-ES-010-1 Amputates both hands of the subject, who falls to the ground within the path. 010-1 walks away from the scene. D-32598 is removed from the ground without incident.
Notes: Build a path? It's not a bad idea, but it won't work that way. I'll ask Logistics to bring me one last Class D, I hope the Ethics Committee won't riot – Dr. Radonski
Name: 010-B-7
Subject: D- 32607. Caucasian male with no criminal record, diagnosed with terminal cancer. Estimated remaining life time in █ months. Equipped with: Camera with tripod, radio and medium flamethrower.
Test: D-32607 is instructed to point the camera at him and activate the flamethrower to clear the area of brush.
Result: [DATA EXPUNGED] relatives of D-32607 treated with class A amnestics, alibi established in death of D-32607 due to his terminal cancer. Ethics Committee issues sanctions against Dr. Radonski.
Notes: Clear area of vegetation to neutralize anomalous effects? May God have mercy on the next unfortunate soul who tries… - Dr. Radonski
In 19██ a group of 4 adolescents aged around 16, students from the nearby █████ █████ High School of ████, managed to evade the perimeter fence. The young people were registered by the cameras, wandering the paths for 5 minutes and 24 seconds before meeting SCP-ES-010-1, who showed no signs of hostility towards the young people; however, they began a disorganized flight when they saw the entity, entering the undergrowth, causing SCP-ES-010-1 to attack them.
However, one of the youths did not show fear or flee, nor did he see the deaths of his companions, and when the entity returned to his side, it seems to have offered to guide him through its gardens. That night the adverse weather generated fog throughout the region. The psychotropic substance took effect and the euphoria of the young man could be observed inside the place. A team of agents was sent to evacuate the subject, who, in his resistance to leaving the area, managed to remove the gas mask from one of the agents, who was also affected by the substance. Both were forcibly removed and taken to Site-Whiskey-01 and placed under observation.
During a routine food and toilet delivery procedure, Agent █████ managed to escape from his containment cell, seizing the service weapon of a security guard assigned to his cell and causing a total of █ kills before being released. submitted and terminated by Site security personnel.
By orders of the Head of Site-Whiskey-01, any subject exposed to the psychotropic substances present in SCP-ES-010 must be terminated, unless higher orders say otherwise.
