Item #: SCP-049

Object Class: Euclid

"Oh, so its a Euclid Scp." Violet said, remembering the classifictions.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-049 is contained within a Standard Secure Humanoid Containment Cell in Research Sector-02 at Site-19. SCP-049 must be sedated before any attempts to transport it."It must be very strong if it has to be sedated." Kion commented.

"Bah! I bet its not as strong as me." Bowser said showing his muscles as the others sweatdropped at that.

"Really-a Bowser...?" Mario sighed

"I don't blame him though." Knuckles said flexing his own muscles.

During transport, SCP-049 must be secured within a Class III Humanoid Restriction Harness (including a locking collar and extension restraints) and monitored by no fewer than two armed guards."Geez, isn't that a bit harsh?" Russell asked.

"No." XL-34 replied shaking his head. "You'll understand why the foundation takes extreme precautions."

"Though it sounds like its in prison." Tails commented.

While SCP-049 is generally cooperative with most Foundation personnel,"Oh, that's nice." Fluttershy said with a smile.

outbursts or sudden changes in behaviour are to be met with elevated force. Under no circumstances should any personnel come into direct contact with SCP-049 during these outbursts.Fluttershy's smile faded once she heard of SCP-049's agressive behavior.

"Say XL-34?" Lucky asked.

"Yes?" The said human replied.

"Doesn't it have a name?" Lucky asked again. "And I mean without its numbers."

"Yes, it has been called the Plague Doctor by the Guards that monitor it, though the D-Class only know it as SCP-049." XL-34 replied.

Everyone nodded in understanding. But then they had a raised eyebrow.

"D-Class?" Luna asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Uhh...moving on!" XL-34 quickly said.

In the event SCP-049 becomes aggressive, the application of lavender (L. multifida) has been shown to produce a calming effect on the entity. Once calmed, SCP-049 generally becomes compliant, and will return to containment with little resistance."Then we'll need to get some lavender in case SCP-049 comes here." Pinkie said.

"Pinkie, SCP-049 doesn't exist here." Twilight said.

"But, isn't that what an anomaly is?" Marshal asked as Twilight tried to answer but was silent.

In order to facilitate the ongoing containment of SCP-049, the entity is to be provided with the corpse of a recently deceased animal (typically a bovine or other large mammal) once every two weeks for study.That made the animals in the room feel scared.

"Guys calm down." Sonic said.

"Yes. SCP-049 is-a not-a real." Mario assured.

"That doesn't mean we can't be scared of it!" Sunil shouted.

Corpses that become instances of SCP-049-2 are to be removed from SCP-049's containment cell and incinerated."Wait..." Rainbow began. "There's more than one Plague Doctor?!"

"No." XL-37 assured. "There's only one."

"There why did the video say 049-2?" Ember asked.

XL-37 sighed. "All WILL be revealed."

SCP-049 is no longer permitted to interact with human subjects, and requests for human subjects are to be denied."It-a wants human-a subjects?!" Luigi excalimed in horror.

"Well...that makes me feel a little better." Pepper commented.

Temporary Containment Procedure Update: (See Addendum 049.3) Per Containment Committee Order 049.S19.17.1, SCP-049 is no longer permitted to interact directly with any members of Foundation staff, nor is it to be provided with any additional corpses to be used in its surgeries.The animals in the room sighed in relief. Glad that SCP-049 won't work on any animal corpses.

This order shall persist indefinitely, until such time a consensus regarding the ongoing containment of SCP-049 can be reached."So, its containment isn't finished?" Silver asked.

"No." Xl-37 replied shaking his head. "There have been few cases of containment breaches, which gave SCP-049 the opportunity to attack few members of the Foundation, turning them into SCP-049-2."

"So why hasn't it been killed yet?" Shadow asked.

"The SCP claims to know a cure to a disease, and the Foundation has decided on keeping it alive until the cure is achieved from it." XL-37 said as the group nodded at that.

Description: SCP-049 is a humanoid entity, roughly 1.9 meters in height, which bears the appearance of a medieval plague doctor.

"Well I guess that's why they call it the Plague Doctor." Sandbar muttered.

While SCP-049 appears to be wearing the thick robes and the ceramic mask indicative of that profession, the garments instead seem to have grown out of SCP-049's body over time, and are now nearly indistinguishable from whatever form is beneath them. X-rays indicate that despite this, SCP-049 does have a humanoid skeletal structure beneath its outer layer.

" It's suit morphed with it ?" Krypto questioned, shocked.

"I guess that's what happens when you wear clothes for too long." Sonic said with a chuckle.

Rarity, Zoe and Colette thought of that but shook their heads and shivered.

SCP-049 is capable of speech in a variety of languages, though tends to prefer English or medieval French."When did it have time to learn all those lamguages?" Amy asked.

"I-a think its-a best that-a we don't question-a it." Mario suggested.

While SCP-049 is generally cordial and cooperative with Foundation staff, it can become especially irritated or at times outright aggressive if it feels that it is in the presence of what it calls the "Pestilence".

"The 'Pestilence' ?" Minka questioned.

" At the moment, the foundation have not yet identified what the Pestilence SCP-049 calls." XL-37 said. " However, they had several theories on what it can be."

"Which are?" Gallus asked.

"Well, one of the most prominent theories is that the Pestilence is the Bubonic Plague." XL-36 replied.

Everyone went wide eyed at that. They heard that so many people died during the Plague. They can see on why SCP-049 was looking for a cure.

Although the exact nature of this Pestilence is currently unknown to Foundation researchers, it does seem to be an issue of immense concern to SCP-049.SCP-049 will become hostile with individuals it sees as being affected by the Pestilence, often having to be restrained should it encounter such. If left unchecked, SCP-049 will generally attempt to kill any such individual; SCP-049 is capable of causing all biological functions of an organism to cease through direct skin contact.Everyone paled at that. The Plague Doctor could kill through skin contact. Now that was horrifying.

"I don't fear no man..." Bowser began. "But that thing...it scares me."

"Though...it would be a cool ability to have." Sonic said as Rainbow agreed with him.

"Then that means you can't hug or do handshakes with your friends." Chase said as Sonic and Rainbow quickly agreed.

How this occurs is currently unknown,

"I suppose that's a good thing that they don't know how that occurs." Celestia said.

and autopsies of SCP-049's victims have invariably been inconclusive. SCP-049 has expressed frustration or remorse after these killings, indicating that they have done little to kill "The Pestilence","I mean, then again, if they're not alive any more, they don't have the Pestilence, or whatever it is." Rainbow mused jokingly, making the others look at her. " Too far ?" She asked.

"Too far." Everyone replied.

though will usually seek to then perform a crude surgery on the corpse using the implements contained within a black doctor's bag it carries on its person at all times."Um, how big is the bag?" Paulina asked.

XL-37 showed a full body image of the SCP, making Pinkie laugh, " Ha, he's got a fanny pack."

"While that may be the case, the bag has exhibited magic satchel like properties, being able to contain everything SCP-049 requires within it." XL-37 explained.

While these surgeries are not always "successful", they often result in the creation of instances of SCP-049-2.

" We'd like to know more about these 049-2." Ember said.

" If you would wait, the information will surely come." XL-37 reimpranded Ember.

"Ah, sorry." The Dragon Lord said.

SCP-049-2 instances are reanimated corpses that have been operated on by SCP-049."So, they're zombies?" Pamela asked.

"Yes." XL-37 simply replied.

SCP-049-2 instances express active biological functions, though these are vastly different from currently understood human physiology. Despite these alterations, SCP-049 often remarks that the subjects have been "cured".

"Of course it would say that." Rarity huffed at that. " Since it killed them."

"That may be true, but according to the Plague Doctor, it is only helping them." Twilight said. "And it might be wrong, but in its mind, it is saving them."

Addendum 049.1: Discovery

" Huh, that's interesting." Rouge said.

SCP-049 was discovered during the investigation of a series of unknown disappearances in the town of Montauban in southern France.During a raid on a local home, investigators found several instances of SCP-049-2, as well as SCP-049. While law enforcement personnel engaged the hostile 049-2 instances, SCP-049 was noted as watching the engagement and taking notes in its journal."So like a researcher." Tails said.

After all of the 049-2 instances were dispatched, SCP-049 willingly entered Foundation custody.

"Why would it willingly enter custody ?" Silverstream asked.

"Well, it's most likely that it saw the Foundation as a way to get test subjects more easily." Rainbow said. " And also seeing that it needs protection of sorts, this was the best option for it."

Everyone looked at Rainbow in shock, something the she noticed. " Hey, I can be smart." She huffed.

An image of the SCP came up, a bit blurred, showing the head and the upper-chest of the anomaly. " This image was taken when the Foundation first discovered the SCP." XL-37 explained.

"Yeah...that's not creepy at all." Smolder commented.

"And that's one of the 6999 entries we're going to see..." Tails said.

"Correct." XL-37 said. "Speaking of which, let's move on."
