Single instance of SCP-PL-260-A

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-PL-260 is to be contained in a 20m × 40m × 20m aquarium located in Site-PL-49. SCP-PL-260-A instances are to be supplied with sufficient amounts of mixed zooplankton¹ and plant food on a daily basis. An automated system of water filtration from contaminants has been installed in order to reduce the time spent on cleaning the object's aquarium.

Description: SCP-PL-260 is a shoal of 507 fish² of the species Pterocaesio chrysozona (Goldband fusilier). They do not differ from the non-anomalous representatives of this species. SCP-PL-260's anomalous ability manifests itself in their collective intelligence that increases with the number of instances in the connected school.

After all SCP-PL-260 individuals have created SCP-PL-260-A, they will attain omniscience, however, they manifest it by molding themselves into the residential address of the person they observe.³ The address is always written in Polish. SCP-PL-260-A are unable to reproduce or die naturally, always keeping the number of all individuals constant. However, they will exhibit instinctive behavior; defending the shoal, searching for food or sleeping. In the event of the death of an instance of SCP-PL-260-A, an identical copy of the object with the same anomalous properties will immediately appear.

Addendum PL-260/F1: Discovery

Information about SCP-PL-260 reached the Foundation on March 21st, 2016, when the management of the Botanical Garden in Warsaw was accused of using visitors' personal data in "a funny joke with fish matching their home address". Before the court case was initiated, MTF Kanta-00 ("The Threatening Species") replaced SCP-PL-260 with non-anomalous representatives of the Goldband fusilier and distributed amnestics to all witnesses of the incident.

Addendum PL-260/F2: Experiments

On March 23rd, 2016, an experiment was conducted to check the accuracy of the reported result. Following is a table of employees who voluntarily wanted to participate in the research.

Personnel	Amount of SCP-PL-260-A	Result
Junior Researcher Sergey Kaliniczovich	100	The fish formed into the word "Universe".
Doctor Bartosz Grudacz	350	The result showed only Poland.
Assistant Adrianna Handrycz	480	Correct, but incorrectly indicated staircase in the block of flats.
Senior Researcher Adam Spencer	500	Correct; the result also included the exact geographic coordinates of the tester's apartment.
Junior Researcher Sergey Kaliniczovich	507	[LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE REQUIRED]

Addendum PL-260/F3: Incident

LEVEL 5 PERSONNEL EYES ONLY

Coma Berenices Constellation

During the second experiment with Junior Researcher Sergey Kaliniczovich, SCP-PL-260 showed the exact coordinates on the planet MHX-3689 located in the Black Eye Galaxy in the Coma Berenices Constellation. After presenting the result, the subject attacked the nearest employees of the Site-PL-49 near the aquarium with the object, but was quickly neutralized by the security guards. Immediately after inflicting fatal damage, the researcher changed his external appearance, taking a form resembling a blue cloud of blue, 175 cm long and weighing 80 kg.

It is worth noting that Sergey Kaliniczovich was a new employee at the Site-PL-49, transferred from a Russian research facility. Upon deeper analysis, it was discovered that the Foundation's database did not have any registered employment for such a person. Moreover, a check of the Russian censuses indicated that Sergey Kalinichovich never existed.

After searching the intruder's station, a damaged tablet of foreign origin was found, from which it was only possible to extract an encrypted file in an unknown language. After decoding and analyzing by the Department of Linguistics, it was possible to translate the information that concerned the infiltration of the Foundation's ranks by a clandestine member of the Totalitarian Republic of Landh Lads, and then sending secret information to the main base for a future attack on the planet.

The Foundation, after a unanimous vote of the O5 Council members, implements Protocol 808-SHIELDBOW and prepares for the arrival of the TRK-Class Scenario ("Alien Race Invasion").
