Xion plays the next file, as everyone focuses on the screen.

The screen shows a male with a light skin with short blonde hair and a five-o-clock shadow with blue eyes. He is wearing a simple black button up shirt under a lab coat with the most noticeable feature of the man is his right hand has a white fabric and gold color threads. "Hello, Dr. Jaune Arc, Chief Researcher of the Sentient Protection Division or the SPD. Today I will talk about one of the SCPs that I know on a personal level."

While Pyrrha blush of the older Arc, the rest notice he didn't change much until Jaune points at his hand. "Anyone else notice that my hand looks like it has a skin tight mitten?"

"Maybe it's to hide an injury?" Nora brought up. "Let's face it, everything we've seen so far are dangerous one way or another."

"Fair enough." Jaune nodded at the girl's reason.


Item #: SCP-040

Object Class: Euclid

Groans are heard as they don't want to hear anything like the Living Room again.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-040 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment module within Bio-Research Area-12. The chamber is to be connected to an airborne tranquilizer dispersal system, to be activated in the event of SCP-040 manifesting its properties outside of testing environments. The chamber is to be observed by two supervisory personnel at all times. Recreational items such as toys, games, and art supplies may be provided to SCP-040 at the discretion of supervisory personnel.

"Wait, they have a child?" Weiss looks at the doctor who didn't look at the heiress.

As they have been determined to pose no possible threat, SCP-040-1a, SCP-040-1c, and SCP-040-1j have been approved to remain in the containment chamber with SCP-040 for purposes of the subject's mental well-being. (Security Chief Special Order 392-5: ██/██/██). All other entities modified by SCP-040 are to be disposed of after recovery and study according to standard biological specimen clearance protocols, as outlined in Document CDP-BIO-EN-1. No outside organisms are to be brought into SCP-040's presence beyond those used in testing procedures.

"Anyone else wondering what the -1s?" Ruby asks only to get shrug.

SCP-040 is to undergo daily school lessons and bi-weekly psychological review, overseen by Drs. Habernathy, Logan, and Izawa.

Description: SCP-040 is a Caucasian female of approximately eight years of age, standing one meter in height. SCP-040 bears numerous physical abnormalities: The subject's skin is highly sensitive to light and easily damaged by physical contact, and the subject's hair is a bright pink in coloration. This hair is brittle and falls out easily. The subject displays green/yellow heterochromia, with the sclera of the left eye black in coloration. SCP-040 has no sight in this eye.

The students and Salem have to admit the girl was cute, even with her abnormalities.

SCP-040's emotional state is within acceptable boundaries for an individual of its age group, accounting for the effects of prolonged containment and physical abnormalities. Subject's intelligence is slightly above-average for its age group, and displayed behavior is generally cooperative. Of note is SCP-040's quick acclimatization to containment, believed to be resultant of its upbringing before recovery.

Weiss felt a form of kinship for the girl, growing up where she had to do what her father told her in order to get any kind of form of 'love'. Now she knows it was for not, but she hopes the poor girl had a better start than she did.

SCP-040 is capable of manipulating living matter, mutating and modifying existing organisms in order to create new ones, collectively referred to as SCP-040-1. This effect is at will, but requires significant focus and time to enact and becomes increasingly unreliable and inaccurate when manipulating details through small-scale modifications. SCP-040 is incapable of altering microscopic organisms, and has great difficulty in altering plant life. Dead organic matter may also be used, but must be used in conjunction with a living organism.

Salem got into a thought after hearing about the girl's abilities. 'Sounds a lot alike when I create a new grimm. Though what are her limits, besides needing something alive?'

Instances of SCP-040-1 will not demonstrate pre-modification behavior: the majority will act similar to domesticated house pets, generally with extreme loyalty to SCP-040, regardless of prior association. The appearance of SCP-040-1 instances will vary: some instances will retain overall pre-modification form with some alteration, such as SCP-040's apparent modification to itself, though the majority will bear no resemblance to their original appearances. SCP-040 appears incapable of manipulating instances of SCP-040-1 more than once.

"So she caused her appearances to be so different." Blake calmly stated while Nora was pounced up and done looking at Ren.

"You think she could make me a super sloth?"

Ren looks at his oldest companion in thought before speaking. "Maybe…"

Recovery Log: Subject was recovered on ██/██/20██ in [REDACTED]. SCP-040 was one of fifteen subjects taken into custody: further investigation found no anomalous properties in any other individuals. Amnestics were administered to detainees and the general populace, and coverup measures were enacted without further incident. Monitoring of the area is ongoing in order to detect any resurgence of ████████████ ██████.

"They better not had done the same thing that General Mulhausen did." Weiss groaned at the memory of the last population center that the foundation took an SCP from.

Addendum-01: SCP-040 is currently allowed custody of the following SCP-040-1 instances.

SCP-040-1a – A polymorphic symbiotic organism capable of changing size, shape, color, and texture in reaction to its environment. Subject serves as outer clothing, similar to a jacket or sweater, and absorbs nutrients from SCP-040's bloodstream. Subject was recovered alongside SCP-040, and genetic testing reveals that the subject shares the majority of its genetic makeup with the common housecat (Felis catus).

"First off, that explains why her hoodie has both cat ears and a tail. But also, poor kitty." Ruby pouted at the thought of a cat being harmed, this also the same way the rest of the team felt for if something kin to that happened to Blake.

SCP-040-1c – A spherical organism capable of flight by means of rubbery bladders filled with helium. Entity has eleven limbs terminating in opposable digits, and a complex respiratory system capable of replicating a wide variety of musical patterns.

Everyone looked at the image all trying to figure out what it supposed to be, but not a single person could think of anything.

SCP-040-1j – A quadrupedal organism covered in a thick coat of pink and blue fur. Entity has no eyes, a broad mouth with blunt teeth, and is capable of climbing up vertical surfaces. Occasionally used by SCP-040 as a mode of transportation

"Looks like one of the cave salamanders, just with colorful fur." Jaune said and got everyone attention. "One of my sisters really likes those kinds of things." Jaune smiled at the memory when said sister brought in a cobra in her hands. How she wasn't bit is a wonder in the family but that just leads to her wanting more reptiles.


Addendum-02

The following excerpt is from an interview carried out on ██/██/20██, three weeks after initial containment.

Dr. Habernathy: Good morning, Forty.

SCP-040: Good morning, Miss Habernathy.

Dr. Habernathy: It's good to see that you're getting over your cold.

"Aw, did they give her some soda and comics?" Ruby asks the doctor who looks at the reaper.

"Ginger ale, and soup with some cold medicine." Xion said calmly all while both Weiss and Yang turned to each other and shouted 'I told you!'

SCP-040: Mm-hmm.

Dr. Habernathy: Can I ask you a few questions before we start with today's lesson?

"Wonder if this will be about her origins?" Ren wonders.

SCP-040: Yeah.

Dr. Habernathy: Can you tell me about your parents?

"There we go." Ren snaps his fingers.

SCP-040: Mr. Green said that I don't have any.

Yang leans forward and says in her big sisterly tone. "Sweetie, don't listen to that douchebag."

Dr. Habernathy: Can you tell me about Mr. Green, then?

"Oh, so he isn't one of the researchers." Yang leans back in surprise.

SCP-040: He was nice, but he wasn't very good at talking. He would would would a-always talk l-l-like like this. But he wasn't there a lot of the time. Most of the time it was the nurses looking after us.

"So he had a stutter, that could somewhat help in identifying him." Weiss nods her head.

Dr. Habernathy: And what did they do for you?

SCP-040: They'd play games with us and teach us things and sometimes they would make us wear these dumb helmets and sit quiet for a long time. Sometimes they'd put a movie on for us, if we behaved, but if we were bad they would lock us in our rooms.

The students' eyes became murderous putting two and two together, and weren't happy at hearing the last bit. Salem however has to keep her mouth shut, she hasn't been a saint with her underlings such as Cinder.

Dr. Habernathy: Can you tell me anything else?

SCP-040: Hmmm…They always served us peas for dinner, and I hate peas, so I always gave mine to Five, because she liked peas. But I think green beans are better.

The mood lightened up when hearing the girl's actions, hearing it wasn't as bad as things could have been.

Addendum-03: ██/██/20██ - SCP-040 successfully reanimated a deceased human body during testing, using three specimens of brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) as the required living component. Resultant subject retained no memories of previous life, and was judged to be of the approximate mental capacity of a human toddler. SCP-040 was highly distressed by the event and refused further testing for the next three weeks.

"Poor girl." A sympathetic Pyrrha said.


Jaune comes back on the screen smiling at the camera. "I hope you enjoyed the file today. Until next time." He reaches over to stop the recording.

"Well, it was more enjoyable than the first four files." Ruby stated.


Jaune and SCP 40 is at the moment testing a experiment requested by another researcher, which involves using a black-necked spitting cobra and altering the venom to be acidic. The first test proves to work as it spray at the target before Jaune gives SCP 40 a pat on the shoulder, the snake turns around and sprays the acidic liquid at Jaune hitting his right shoulder which starts to melt it off the body. A security guard fires their primaries at the snake killing it.

The room came to silent at the sight of Dr. arc losing his arm and while looking at Jaune there was a single question that came to his mind. 'How the hell do I still have an arm?'


Hey, guys. Glad this was a little more light hearted. Anyways, on to the reviews.

From Wombag1786: Sharp objects aren't a problem for me, that goes to needles. *shivers* I will either need to be drugged or gag and held down to get one close to me.

Surprising there a sect of the Church of the Broken God that is basically a steampunk.
