SCP six seventeen Object Classes EUCLID Special containment Procedures. SCP
six seventeen is to be kept in a soundproof container
at all times. When in storage, SEP. Six seventeen must
be kept in its soundproof containment cell and its mouth
kept zipped at all times except for experiments and scheduled

(00:28):
feeding periods. All personnel entering SEP. Six seventeen's containment area
must wear hearing protection devices as a precautionary measure. SEP.
Six seventeen cannot be taken from its containment cell without
approval from a Level four researcher and must always be
kept within its secure container when being moved. In the

(00:49):
event of a containment breach, SEP. Six seventeen must be
retrieved by personnel with proper hearing protection. The entire sector
must be locked down and all personnel thoroughly searched until
SCP six seventeen is contained. Description SCP six seventeen has
the appearance of a large granite rock, except that it
possesses a zipper in its side that is fully operational

(01:12):
when unzipped. SEP. Six seventeen is shown to possess a
mouth with teeth that appears similar in appearance and construction
to human teeth. X ray and MRI scans of SEP
six seventeen appear to be unable to penetrate its stone exterior.
Similar tests to try and probe SB six seventeen's internal
systems have likewise proven inconclusive. SEP six seventeen's mouth is

(01:34):
fully functional and can vocalized sounds as well as be
used to consume food. SP six seventeen is also capable
of limited movement, being able to roll around under its
own power. However, SEP six seventeen's most disturbing aspects are
its parasitical tendencies as well as its ability to influence
human behavior. In addition to being able to speak, SCP

(01:57):
six seventeen can generate a low frequency sound, one that
allows it to exert subliminal control over any human that
hears it. Humans affected by SEP six seventeen will become
emotionally attached to it, treating it as a pet and
actively caring for it to the best of their ability.
As long as they are affected by SP six seventeen,
victims will make Sep. Six seventeens care a priority, giving

(02:21):
it a home, protecting it from danger, and most importantly,
making sure it is well fed. Scp. Six seventeen has
an active digestive system and sustains itself on a diet
primarily consisting of fresh meat. Since it is unable to
obtain food on its own, Sep. Six seventeen persuades its
owner to gather food. The owner will then resort to

(02:43):
any means to feed sp. Six seventeen. Recorded instances have
shown that owners are willing to slaughter livestock and other
pets to feed it, and will even resort to murdering
other human beings in times of desperation. It is not
uncommon for the owner to feed parts of themselves to
Sea six seventeen. The violent and unpredictable behavior exhibited by

(03:04):
owners while obtaining food is believed to be a side
effect of Sep. Six seventeen subliminal manipulation, which directly affects
areas of the brain believed responsible for rational thought. On
some occasions, Sep. Six seventeen will actually begin to vote.
On some occasions, Sep. Six seventeen will actually begin to
devour its owner while they are asleep, the owner will

(03:27):
either not notice the attack or simply show no alarm
when it is discovered, continuing to care for SEP. Six
seventeen as if this behavior were perfectly normal. However, once
the owner is separated from the low frequency sound SEP.
Six seventeen produces, they will eventually begin to recover from
its effects, though victims are still vulnerable to relapse if

(03:47):
exposed to SEP. Six seventeen again. Further research has shown
that zipping up SEP. Six seventeen completely neutralizes its ability
to produce any sound. However, it still requires feeding and
is still capable of limited movement, being able to slowly
roll itself along even ground. SEP. Six seventeen is also sapient,

(04:08):
possessing average intelligence and capable of human speech. However, in
all attempts to communicate, SCP six seventeen is incapable or
unwilling to discuss anything further than basic conversation. It will, however,
state its desire to feed and attempt to persuade any
individuals within earshot to care for it. As such, a

(04:28):
standard IQ test is impossible to carry out. The Foundation
was made aware of SAP six seventeen's existence after a
series of serial murders began exhibiting a pattern to the
effect that all of the victims were partially devoured. The
Foundation involved itself in the investigation and managed to track
the suspect, Redacted, to his home. During the operation see

(04:50):
after Action Report six seventeen. Sep. Six seventeen's persuasive powers
were discovered and it was successfully contained. After Action Report seen,
an agent was sent to apprehend Redacted for possible SCP possession. However,
all contact was lost. A Foundation armed response team was
sent to investigate. They discovered that the agent had become

(05:12):
hostile and initiated a confrontation. Both the agent and Redacted
were killed in the ensuing gunfight, with the response team
suffering three wounded. At this point, a psychic or mimetic
factor was suspected and a response team was ordered to
stay back and form a defensive perimeter. Remote probing of
the area revealed an anomalous low frequency sound being generated.

(05:34):
D Class personnel with hearing protection were able to recover Sep.
Six seventeen and successfully contain it. Forensic analysis of Redacted's
home revealed that he had been in possession of SEP
six seventeen for at least six months. During that period,
he had systematically fed his entire collection of pets to
SCP six seventeen, slowly cutting them apart while they were

(05:56):
still alive. When he had run out of pets, he
moved on to humans, starting the string of serial murders
that were initially investigated. And autopsy revealed a number of
human byte marks on his body, with two fingers, six toes,
and roughly six ounces of flesh missing. Dental analysis showed
that the bite marks were a perfect match for the
SP six seventeen's teeth. Autopsies of the murder victims corroborated

(06:20):
SP six seventeen's capabilities. At this time, it is unknown
how long SEP six seventeen has existed. There must be
an expanded emphasis on analyzing serial murder cases that involve
cannibalization of corpses as well as similar sociopathic behaviors Adendum one.
Since the acquisition of SEP six seventeen, two more instances

(06:43):
of it were discovered and contained. The Foundation now has
SP six seventeen, one, two, and three in containment. All
three SCPs have been put in the same cell in
order to observe patterns such as reproduction, communication, and competition.
Administrative note, in light of recent events, all testing with

(07:03):
s e P six seventeen is restricted to human test
subjects and non sapient life forms only. O five. You
