Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is data specialist standers of the Data Redundancy Project
SEP six fifteen Object Classes EUCLID special containment procedures. SEP.
Six fifteen is to be kept in a secure enclosure
constructed of inorganic materials. Under no circumstances is organic matter,
especially plant matter, to be allowed within SEP. Six fifteen's

(00:29):
enclosure without the approval of a Level four researcher. For
safety reasons and because of SEP. Six fifteen's aggressive and
territorial nature, personnel are not allowed to enter the enclosure
without a security detail armed with incendiary weaponry. In the
event of a containment breach, all personnel in the area
are to immediately evacuate and avoid SEP. Six fifteen at

(00:52):
all costs. Containment teams armed with incendiary weaponry must be
used to force SEP. Six fifteen back into its enclosure.
In the event that such a tactic is impossible, security
teams are authorized to terminate SEP. Six fifteen description. SEP.
Six fifteen is a large collection of dead and discarded

(01:13):
plant matter that has attained sentience despite the lack of
any organs, central nervous system, or any other system commonly
associated with a fully functioning organic creature. SEP. Six fifteen
is able to independently move, manipulate its surroundings, and perform
instinctual behaviors. Analysis of SEP. Six fifteen's composition reveal it

(01:35):
to be a mixture of countless pieces of discarded and
dead plant material, with the vast majority being small sticks
and broken branches. Remote scanning revealed nothing extraordinary within SEP.
Six fifteen itself. It is unknown how SEP. Six fifteen
is able to keep the plant matter together into a
single mass, nor is it known how it can manipulate

(01:56):
its own mass to perform motor functions. All that is
currently known is that SEP. Six fifteen is able to
move by rolling itself along the ground. Testing has shown
that it is able to traverse level terrain fairly quickly.
Obstacles proved to slow it slightly, but the effect is
minor since SCP six fifteen merely splits around them to

(02:17):
continue its movement. SEP. Six fifteen is also able to
interpret its surroundings, even with its conspicuous lack of conventional
sense organs. How this phenomenon is achieved is currently unknown.
Observation of SEP. Six fifteen in the wild has shown
that it feeds off of discarded and dead plant matter.
As a result, SEP six fifteen tends to inhabit areas

(02:40):
thickly populated with vegetation, such as forests and jungles. SEP
six fifteen will roam its territory, absorbing discarded plant matter
from the ground and adding it to its own mass.
It also seems to act as a natural gardener, pruning
and trimming existing trees of excess plant matter. This serves
the duel purpose of feeding SCP six fifteen and increasing

(03:03):
the lifespan of the plants around it. When deprived of
plant matter, it has been observed that SP six fifteen
can indeed be starved. Extended periods of forced starvation have
shown that the plant matter that constructs SEP six fifteen
will eventually biodegrade, shrinking it until the point of death.
If overly fed, SEP six fifteen will reach a stage

(03:25):
of critical mass, where it grows too large to support itself.
This provokes a reproductive response, where SCP six fifteen will
separate itself into smaller entities capable of acting independently from
each other. In terms of behavior, SCP six fifteen is
no different from any other territorial organism. It will commonly

(03:46):
patrol a several square mile area and will aggressively attack
anything that attempts to intrude into its territory. Though SEP.
Six fifteen is quite easy to avoid and outrun, it
displays devastating strength and savagery if it may be to
catch its quarry. SEP. Six fifteen attacks by completely engulfing
its target and contracting its mass, crushing or suffocating the target.

(04:09):
Lab tests as well as eyewitness reports, have shown it
is easily capable of crushing large trucks if it is
of sufficient size. Due to the nature of its composition,
SAP six fifteen is extremely flammable, making incendiary weaponry the
items of choice to combat it. SEP. Six fifteen is
seemingly aware of this and shows a marked aversion to

(04:30):
open flames. It will attempt to avoid fire at all costs,
making containment relatively simple. SEP six point fifteen was found
in the redacted forest after it was caught disrupting logging
operations there. Reports of missing loggers and destroyed logging equipment
eventually tipped off the foundation that these incidents were more
than mere animal attacks. A Foundation scouting expedition eventually encountered

(04:55):
SEP six fifteen, suffering several casualties in the process. A
more specialized task force was sent in and managed to
herd SEP six fifteen into containment with the use of
flares and torches. You can get all my episodes add
