Item #: SCP-1264
Object Class: Keter Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1264 is to be kept in a double sealed, sound-proofed containment chamber in Site 17. All noise is to be constantly monitored, with any noise above 5 dB initiating lockdown procedures in preparation of an ONEIROI-1264 event. No testing is authorized at this time. All members of staff on Site 17 are subject to weekly psychoanalysis, with no member of staff remaining on site for more than 1 month. In the case ONEIROI-1264 event, Site 17 is to begin lockdown procedures. No possible exits are to remain open or accessible during an ONEIROI-1264 event. Under no circumstances is SCP-1264 to make contact with any major human populations during an ONEIROI-1264 event. Only Mobile Task Force Eta-10 (aka "See No Evil") and/or Mobile Task Force Pi-1 (aka "City Slickers”) are to engage SCP-1264 during a breached ONEIROI-1264 event, the latter only if SCP-1264 has reached a major population center. When an ONEIROI-1264 event ends, a new containment chamber is to be built, with noise monitoring, around SCP-1264. Any and all civilian victims of an ONEIROI-1264 event in comas are to be euthanized. Any video feeds of SCP-1264 are to be analyzed, in order to ascertain any additional physical characteristics of it. (See Addendum 1264-B)
SCP-1264 is to be held in a standard containment cell in Site 19, with constant EEG scanning taking place. If any unusual patterns occur, site-wide lockdown procedures are to be initiated. Any unusual dreams, especially those including SCP-1264, are to be immediately reported. A complete record of dreams including SCP-1264 can be found in Document 1264-D.
Description: Due to SCP-1264’s effects, no first-hand witnesses are available, and video feeds have only shown static in any frames including SCP-1264, and so its physical characteristics are subject to question. (See Addendum 1264-B) SCP-1264 is an extremely emaciated humanoid with indiscriminate gender, an apparent age between 20 and 30 years old, with dark hair and light skin. Analysis of bite marks found on victims has also confirmed an unusually wide jaw, with two extra rows of teeth.
SCP-1264 is most often in a state of sleep. While asleep, SCP-1264 is very susceptible to being woken; any noise above 30 dB has been shown to wake it in the past. SCP-1264 has not yet awakened by itself, and SCP-1264 has survived █ years in containment without food and water. However, emaciation previously mentioned could possibly be muscle atrophy, though SCP-1264’s strength has not been observed to decrease. While SCP-1264 is asleep, humans within █ miles develop extreme insomnia. As with all humans, individuals go insane if REM sleep is prevented for long periods of time. Atypically, all people within the area of effect have experienced an extreme urge to wake SCP-1264 up. As affected individuals go insane due to sleep loss, urges to wake SCP-1264 up become more powerful. Urges to wake subject up have continued after being removed from the affected area, while insomniac effects have not.
The time between SCP-1264 waking and SCP-1264 falling asleep again is classified as an ONEIROI-1264 event. During this time, all people within the area of effect of SCP-1264 lose consciousness. Although unconscious, victim’s eyes remain open, and video feeds have confirmed eye motions consistent with REM sleep. As SCP-1264 moves, so does the area of effect. While details remain spotty at most due to video feed damage and incapacitation of all possible witnesses, SCP-1264’s actions during an ONEIROI-1264 event can be ascertained by observing the aftermath of said events. When an ONEIROI-1264 event ends, all individuals unconscious due to the event simultaneously close their eyes while maintaining rapid eye movement. EEG readings have confirmed that victims are not in REM sleep, but are in fact in comas. To date, no individuals in comas due to an ONEIROI-1264 event have regained consciousness or ceased rapid eye movement.
Incident ONEROI-1264-1: On █/██/19██ at Site 6, before strict containment procedures were in place, ONEROI-1264-1 was caused by a mentally incapacitated D-Class shaking SCP-1264 awake. Said D-Class was later found dead, with a large bite taken out of his neck. Security was alerted, but guards were asleep due to the effect, and were subsequently [DATA EXPUNGED]. To date, the remains of 13 members of security have not been found. SCP-1264 proceeded to exit the building through a window, subsequently reaching the nearby town of ████████, Ohio, USA, leading to the death of ███ people and causing a massive security breach. 9 hours after the original event, a total of ███ individuals asleep in northern ███ ████ and southern ██████ due to ONEIROI-1264-1 slipped into REM-comas. SCP-1264 was found passed out from cold 18 hours later outside ███████, Canada, 590 miles away, where Site 17 was silently constructed around it.
Addendum 1264-A: Due to current containment procedures requiring a rotating staff at Site 17, approximately ██% of all personnel in the Foundation are suffering from the urge to wake SCP-1264 up. Dr. G███ has suggested that initiating a medically induced coma may prevent further ONEIROI-1264 events, thus allowing a smaller staff size at Site 17, and fewer personnel to come into contact with SCP-1264. Procedure pending O5 approval.
Addendum 1264-B: The procedure was a success. SCP-1264 has entered a coma, without initiating an ONEIROI-1264 event. Additionally, insomniac effects have disappeared, along with the urge to wake SCP-1264 up. Maintained gunfire has not initiated an ONEIROI-1264 event. The subject’s physical characteristics have been ascertained and recorded. SCP-1264 has subsequently been transported to Site 19. However, many on-site personnel have reported unusually realistic and bizarre dreams involving SCP-1264. Reclassified to Euclid, with additional monitoring of any strange dreams.
