Item #: SCP-132-JP
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-132-JP-1 instances are to be kept within a cage for small animals, with anything written on paper being prohibited from being within the holding room. SCP-132-JP-1 is to be fed a diet similar to other insects of the Lepismatidae family.
One mature instance of SCP-132-JP-1 is to be reserved for breeding, and all other instances are to be incinerated before their metamorphosis. Personnel engaging in incineration are to be rotated every two times, and are to be referred to a mental therapist and made to take a physical examination after rotation.
SCP-132-JP-2 instances are to be contained within a piece of A4 paper, which is also used as an egg-laying ground for SCP-132-JP-1. The holding room for SCP-132-JP-2 is to be separate from SCP-132-JP-1. A printer within the holding room is to be used three times a day, with 310 random hiragana characters being printed onto a piece of A4 paper for feeding purposes. The font size is to be set to 10 in order to accommodate the printer.
If nothing goes wrong with SCP-132-JP-2's development, after four months of incubation, only one instance is to be retrieved and all the rest are to be incinerated. The retrieved instance of SCP-132-JP-1 is to be reserved for continued breeding purposes.
Attempts to communicate with SCP-132-JP-2 are prohibited. For more information, please reference special document Case-132-KK.
Description: SCP-132-JP-1 consists of an unclassified species within the Insecta class bearing resemblance to the Lepismatidae family. Its appearance and diet bear resemblance to the oriental silverfish (Ctenolepisma villosa), however, during its metamorphosis, it can survive temperatures as low as −5℃, as well as having built a resistance to dry environments.
Once a month, SCP-132-JP-1 will engage in asexual reproduction and lay eggs. The instances will lay their eggs on a medium (often a plant-derived aggregate fiber) with characters written on it, with ten to thirty eggs being laid within twenty minutes.
The eggs laid at this point will consist of adhesive fiber, which will then dissolve 5 minutes later, leaving a radial stain on the fiber. Even when using highly water-resistant paper, the eggs dissolve with no problem and leave a radial stain.
SCP-132-JP-1's average life span is six to seven months.
Thirty minutes after the radial stain is created, ten to thirty instances of SCP-132-JP-2 emerge on the paper's surface. These are thought to be SCP-132-JP-1's larval forms.
SCP-132-JP-2 consists of the same dye present on the medium before their appearance, and bear resemblance to the characters "ゅ" or "ゆ". If there are multiple letters written in different dyes or styles on a single sheet of paper, one of them will be selected at random.
SCP-132-JP-2 instances will move on the paper by winding around, eating any characters written in the same ink as themselves. The eaten characters will disappear from the paper.
SCP-132-JP-2 instances exhibit similar behaviours and group thinking to fishes, leaving traces of ink on the paper as they move for a short time.
As they continue to develop, SCP-132-JP-2 will change into a round pupal form 5 months after hatching. Thirty minutes after changing into a pupal form, an SCP-132-JP-1 instance will burst from the dye on the paper.
It is possible to physically damage the "ゆ" characters that SCP-132-JP-2 instances take the form of, or destroy them by painting over them. It is also possible to move SCP-132-JP-2 instances between papers by tearing a piece of one of them off and affixing it onto another paper of the same material.
Three weeks after an SCP-132-JP-2 instance hatches, it starts talking by making characters that are the same dye and font as itself appear on the paper. The characters will disappear 10 to 14 seconds afterwards, but at this time, if one writes characters that are a different dye from itself, communication with SCP-132-JP-2 is possible.
