SCP-926-JP

SCP-926-JP, shortly after being sedated. Its bodily structure is in the process of transformation.

Item#: SCP-926-JP

Object Class: Safe Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-926-JP is to be contained in an isolated biological containment cell at Site-81██ and maintained under sedation via the continuous usage of anesthesia. Vital signs of SCP-926-JP has been outputted from an attached electrocardiograph to the connected apparatuses. In case the abnormal deviation on life-support of SCP-926-JP is confirmed, the selected medical staff members are to deal with the matter immediately.

At all times, on-site personnel of Site-81██ are required to report the contents of the dreams they had. If the number of dreams about "the death of the dreamer themselves" exceeded the specified threshold in said regular reports, or the specific factors were reported as the contents of dream, Protocol "VOID-DREAM" is to be execute immediately. After the application of this protocol, the transfer/protection of SCP-926-JP, or its neutralization by using any available means which include the dilution of surrounding area via high-strength reality altering effect must be executed, according to the reported number/contents of dream.

Description: SCP-926-JP is an unidentified organism, similar in appearance to various vertebrates. SCP-926-JP is known to be hostile towards human, persistently attacking¹ any individual whom it perceives. Thus far, however, no victim has been killed by SCP-926-JP². Anomalous properties of SCP-926-JP have prevented to determine its 'default' bodily structure and appearance features.

SCP-926-JP is capable of transform into an another kind of vertebrates in response to its condition or surrounding environment³. Usually, the size of SCP-926-JP tends to be much bigger than its non-anomalous counterpart. In addition, several body parts of clearly different species are often annexed to SCP-926-JP; the inspection has revealed that these additional parts are unable to fulfill their original physical functions. The following is an abridged list of SCP-926-JP transformation.

+ SCP-926-JP Transformation Examples

Form after transformation	Noteworthy features	Description
Lion (Panthera leo)	3m in body length. Had a pair of wings similar to that of Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) on its back; the wings were never flapped while observed.	The first recorded form during its initial recovery.
Common raven (Corvus corax)	1.6m in body length. Had an additional eye with mammalian circular pupil on its forehead; the third eye did not show the pupillary light reflex.	Transformed to escape from the recovery team.
Reticulated python (Python reticulatus)	4.1m in body length. Had partial patagia that resembles to that of the genis Pteromys; these patagia was not used for gliding.	Transformed shortly after the containment, attempting to escape via ventilation ducts.

Since after the sedation, SCP-926-JP has maintained a form that resembles to Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), 5m of body length. Various inspections has showed that its current body structure is almost identical to that of non-anomalous Varanidae, except for its enormous size and a pair of wings similar to that of the family Pteropodidae on its forelimbs.

Separately from the aforementioned properties, SCP-926-JP has been concluded to possess a limited reality-altering ability. Upon the death, SCP-926-JP is believed to re-construct the entire world into the state prior to its death⁴. Attempts to perceive, observe and/or detect this process have not been successful thus far. As all memories and records are considered to be the subject of alteration, there is no methods to confirm SCP-926-JP's reality-altering effect, other than the reports about the dream that contains specific contents.

After the re-construction of reality was completed, an unspecified individual experiences a dream of their own death during REM sleep. Multiple inspections revealed that the cause of death in the affected dream is wholly coincide with the possible factor of re-construction by SCP-926-JP. It is also believed that the number of affected individuals increases on each occasion if SCP-926-JP repeatedly expires under an identical situation/condition/factor.

SCP-926-JP was discovered on 19██/██/██, when it was drifted ashore on the eastern coast of Icaria, Greece. Local embedded agent alerted to the Foundation and the recovery team was dispatched from SCPS Lucidity, which had been anchored at nearby. Notably, through 9 days prior to the discovery of SCP-926-JP, many of the islanders in the neighboring coastal water had reported about the "nightmare of being drowned"; this may indicate multiple manifestations of the aforementioned property.

9 days before the discovery of SCP-926-JP, SCPS Lucidity deployed several Non-Physical Displacement Neutralizers (nPDN) to peripheral sea areas for an unrelated mission. The relationship between this mission and the origin of SCP-926-JP remains unknown.

Addendum-1: Detailed investigations and examinations conducted after the recovery revealed no notable difference between SCP-926-JP and existing Type-II Anomalous Organic Entities⁵. Taking these results, the continuous containment of SCP-926-JP was judged to be less valuable, the utilization as a vivisection sample was proposed. 19██/██/██, this proposal was accepted, and SCP-926-JP was transferred to Site-81██, where the research division of the aforementioned anomalous entities is located.

Incident 926-JP: On 19██/██/██, over 50 personnel of Site-81██ reported the dream of "being dissected while still living". Vivisection of SCP-926-JP, originally scheduled on the same day, was temporarily postponed to investigate the possible connection between it and this anomalous event.

However, on 19██/██/██, newly scheduled dissection of SCP-926-JP was canceled when a number of reports about the "nightmare of dissection" were confirmed again. It was inferred that SCP-926-JP is responsible for this phenomenon and manifests one or more unknown abilities upon its death. Following this, the anomaly in question was provisionally designated as SCP-926-JP.

Appendix: The following log has been excerpted from the test attempts to verify the anomalous properties of SCP-926-JP.

+ Test Log 926-JP-A

Test Log 926-JP-A – 19██/██/██

Method: SCP-926-JP will be terminated by lethal injection. If 20 or more on-site personnel report the dream of "the death due to poison" on scheduled day, the termination will be cancelled.

Result: Result: On the scheduled date, exactly 20 personnel reported the dream of their death by drug injection. As the number of prescribed condition was fulfilled, SCP-926-JP was not terminated.

Addendum: Several identical tests were carried out. In all cases, SCP-926-JP successfully avoided its termination as the prescribed number of "nightmares" was exactly fulfilled.

Note: Did SCP-926-JP "sense/foresee" the prescribed number and exert an influence over the dream of on-site personnel? Or it reversed its death, and we detected the trace of altered reality as a dream? There is too little information to determine it at this point.

+ Test Log 926-JP-B

Test Log 926-JP-B – 19██/██/██

Method: SCP-926-JP will be terminated without any designated means. If on-site personnel report the dream of their death on scheduled day, the termination must be executed by a different mean from their cause of death in the dream.

Result: On the scheduled date, 30 different kinds of "death in the dream" were reported. Termination of SCP-926-JP was cancelled by the decision of the research supervisor.

Addendum: While the methods of termination prepared in advance covered most of the reported dreams ("Shot by a gun", "Stabbed by a knife", etc.), the ways that were not preplanned ("Blood loss due to the phlebotomy", "Suffocation in an oxygen-free chamber", etc.) were also observed.

Note: SCP-926-JP may, by interfering with the dreams of personnel, adjust the number and contents of reports into the optimum condition to make the supervisor cancel its termination. But there were various possibility of the final result in this test. Did it really foresee all conclusions?

+ Test Log 926-JP-C

Test Log 926-JP-C – 19██/██/██

Method: SCP-926-JP will be terminated by lethal injection, via a fully automated device that will be activated at a specified time.

Result: Termination was cancelled by the decision of the research supervisor. See below.

Addendum: On the scheduled date, a large number of individuals (including the off-site civilians) reported about the "dream of death by lethal drug injection". Subsequent investigation estimated that all on-site personnel of Site-81██ and over 100 civilians was affected. Termination of SCP-926-JP was postponed and a cover story about mass hysteria was disseminated to the general public.

Note: Like previous tests, the possibility of SCP-926-JP adjusting our dreams to prevent its death has not been ruled out yet. This time, it enlarged the number of affected individuals to the point that the supervisor could never ignore, probably? We should carry out a re-examination under the modified conditions.

+ Test Log 926-JP-D

Test Log 926-JP-D – 19██/██/██

Method: SCP-926-JP will be terminated by lethal injection, via a fully automated device that activate at a specified time in 90% chance. If the drug is not injected, the identical attempt of termination will be carried out a few days later.

Result: In all 10 trials, the device did not inject the drug. The following log is each result and the number of confirmed anomalous dream.

Attempt	Result	The number of reported dream
1st	Drug was not injected.	8
2nd	Ditto.	11
3rd	Ditto.	31
4th	Ditto.	25
5th	Ditto.	1
6th	Ditto.	6
7th	Ditto.	9
8th	Ditto.	4
9th	Ditto.	2
10th	Ditto.	13

Addendum: Several trials using different automated devices were performed; in all cases, the results were the same as mentioned above. The more the trials were performed, the more the number of reported dream was converged in the expected value of the probability that the termination of SCP-926-JP fails.

Note: After the possibility of non-activation was prepared, a highly different result than previous tests was obtained. In light of the number of dream, it cannot reasonably be assumed that SCP-926-JP intentionally influences our mind to avoid its termination. Thus, the previous theories is negated — there is a high chance that SCP-926-JP's true anomalous property is reality-bending one and the reports of dream suggest the frequencies the device retried the termination. The question is, what kind of alteration it causes? Pseudo-temporal retrograde? Changing the reality wherein it died into the dream we have? There would be no end of suppositions, we need an official resolution.

Addendum-2: Since the containment of SCP-926-JP, the number of individuals in Greece who consults to psychotherapists and counselors about the "nightmare" has been significantly lower⁶ 5 years in a row. Specifically, the nightmare involving "a winged, giant beast chasing and/or persistently but non-fatally attacking the dreamer" has become to be greatly less reported. Following this discovery, several researchers pointed out the connection with SCP-926-JP.

However, it has been confirmed that none of these patients were injured in real life, even when they were physically attacked in the dream. The Foundation personnel who has reported the nightmare of "being attacked by SCP-926-JP" are solely consisted of D-Class personnel who involved in initial experiments. Investigation about the relation between the anomalous phenomenon in Greece and SCP-926-JP is ongoing. As of 19██/██/██, all investigation was judged to be less important and discontinued.

Addendum-3: On 19██/██/██, the discussion about SCP-926-JP reached a conclusion that SCP-926-JP's anomalous property, which is ontokinetic in nature, manifests upon its death to reconstruct all elements of universe into the past condition. Following this conclusion, the risk of SCP-926-JP expiring due to the factor that it cannot avoid⁷ was noted. In the worst case, it is presumed that SCP-926-JP will repeat its death and the re-construction of reality, trapping this baseline world in a specific timeline as a result.

Though the aforementioned hypothesis have not been proven yet, it is unfalsifiable due to the nature of SCP-926-JP. SCP-926-JP was eventually deemed a potential risk for a ZK-class "Reality Failure" scenario, and has been kept in a semi-permanent coma since then; its object class was provisionally reclassified to Keter. Currently, research for the absolute neutralization or the immortalization of SCP-926-JP is ongoing.

Footnotes

1. Both direct means (biting, scratching, clinging, etc.) and indirect means (barking into one's ears, glaring over a prolonged period of time, pursuing while growling continuously , etc.) has been observed. Most of these are almost the same as the threatening behavior of wild animals.

2. In one experiment that a D-Class personnel was restrained in advance, SCP-926-JP wounded him severely, but attacked only his non-lethal body parts. The D-Class survived but showed signs of multiple mental disorders such as depression and several phobias.

3. Time required for transformation depends on the structural difference between its current form and post-transformation form.

4. While this effect could be expressed as a kind of the "temporal retrograde phenomenon", this document has regulated that it is the "comprehensive reconstruction of the whole universe by reality-altering ability".

5. These entities had been designated as SCP-███-JP until 19██/██/██, followed by the reclassification as Anomalous Item.

6. Decreased by nearly 30% than the annual averages over the past.

7. Diseases, ageing, other K-class scenarios, etc.
