Item Number: SCP-106 Also known as "The Horror Old Man"
Item Level: Keter
Basic Situation:
SCP-106 is a humanoid creature, its height and weight Ordinary people are no different. Because their skin is highly decayed and they often squat motionless like an old man, the researchers also call it "Horror" , but the "horror" of 106 is much more than that.
The project produces a "erosion" effect on solids that it touches. The effect of organic matter is more obvious, which usually leads to the physical properties of the object It collapses quickly, and in the process, a black mucus will be produced around the substance. The duration of this effect is not certain. The longest observed duration is about 6 hours, and the shortest is about 3 hours. It has nothing to do with the type of substance. It may be related to the state of item at that time.
As long as he wants, the item can be taken from any solid "cross" , the word "cross" is not accurate, in fact, the item enters through a solid medium called " The pocket space "" is a different-dimensional world, and then go out from any solid medium connected to the medium. So far there is no record of his "passing through" organisms, but the researchers believe that as long as he wants to, this shouldn't be a problem.
About "pocket space":
Researchers have tried to send some detection equipment into the dimensional hole left by the project, although the equipment is somewhat affected to some extent Interference, but you can still see the general situation inside.
"Pocket Space" The interior seems to be composed of many rooms, among which there are even furnishings, which feels like 106's "nest". However, both the walls and the furniture look very mottled, as if they have been corroded by . A few people were lucky enough to escape from the "pocket space". They can confirm that the time and space there are distorted, and it seems that the project can change the rules there as needed. If it is judged that "袋空间" is made by 106, it can at least explain that 106 was once a human being, otherwise it cannot be explained that "窝窝" is completely a projection of human life.
Behavior pattern:
The subject has never used any language during its containment, and has no desire to communicate with researchers. Their actions are irregular, and they often lie motionless in the containment area. This behavior can often last for days or even months. A simple test can confirm that the project has a certain degree of intelligence, but it cannot confirm its true level. The project is more sensitive to sudden strong light exposure, which can make it sluggish for a period of time, but there will be no impact after adapting.
His eyes look at humans without any emotion at all. It seems that they are just prey. Because he does not have strong athletic ability, 106 often uses his own "pocket space" for "hunting" . It is observed that the item can be attached to any vertical material surface, and even can be hung upside down on the ceiling effortlessly. He often uses this method to approach “猎物”, and then put his hand into the prey’s body and destroy it from the inside. After the muscle tissue or tendon is paralyzed, drag it into "hole" .
's "hunting" behavior of the project has always puzzled researchers, and he doesn't seem to want to eat them. However, according to the description of people who have entered "Pocket Space" , there are indeed some corpses piled up there, and they are all covered in blackCovered with mucus, some corpses have begun to decompose, as if they are being "digested" by .
After each successful hunt, the object will enter the dormant phase, but the duration of this phase is unstable, up to 3 months, after which he will wake up again to find opportunities to hunt. The project has a strong interest in humans aged 10-25. Humans at this age are often his priority hunting targets. The specific reason is still unknown. Researchers speculate that it may be related to their higher Hume index.
Hume Index
is the unit of measurement used by the Foundation to measure an area Real Strength , the real world we live in Hume Index The average reading is 100. Humans aged 10-25 usually have a higher reading, probably reaching 105. The Hume index of
SCP-106 is very unstable and will be in ██-███ Researchers have judged that the reason for his hunting may be to balance his Hume index. As for why he should digest his prey in that "袋空间" , there is still no final conclusion. It is speculated that the space may be He "feeding" some kind of existence.
Containment measures:
Currently, Site-███'s containment procedures are getting more and more perfect. The probability of the item breaking the containment area and escaping has been greatly reduced, but there is still no guarantee that the item will not escape. The operating cost of containing the project has been high, but for some reason, O5 Parliament has not approved the project’s destruction procedure.
The current containment procedures of the project are very complicated. He is contained in a lead-plated steel board room (Project seems to be very averse to lead, but also In the study of other materials with the same effect), this kind of board house is nested in 40 layers of exactly the same material. There must be a gap of more than 30 cm between each layer. The layers can be fixed by brackets, but The number and arrangement of the brackets on each layer must be random (when faced with a complex solid internal structure, the project will appear "troubled" ). This part is called 1# Containment Area . The entire Containment Area 1 uses ELO-IID electromagnetic support to make it suspended in the center of #2 Containment Area . Containment Area 2 consists of 16 layers of balls. The type structure is made of special steel, nested layer by layer, and 液 of different types and densities is injected at each interval.
If any corrosive scars are observed on the surface of the sphere in Containment Area 2, escape plan must be activated immediately.
Escape plan:
The ground around the containment area 2 is filled with lead, and lighting systems are set up around them, and the power should not be less than ███ watts. If the subject escapes from the area, it will not be able to predict its direction of action. A 20-year-old D-class personnel needs to be placed on standby in the backup containment area. If necessary, its Achilles tendon can be cut off and sent to Site-███ Broadcast his voice around. The recovery work is carried out by the MTF████ team. The kinetic energy weapon has proven to be ineffective on Item , but it can delay its actions.
Note: After being dragged into the "pocket space", a person will be judged dead, and there should be no rescue operations against them.
About 106's identity
There are currently two guesses about the identity of SCP-106, one is that he is SCP Foundation Internal One is called ScrantonThe researcher of , while studying SCP-3001, was inhaled into "虫洞" because of an accident, and entered "Pocket Space" , where he lived for nearly 6 years , No one knows how he survived. Six years after the accident, he suddenly appeared at Site-██ and asked to see his wife. But when she saw the already unrecognizable scranton, she was terrified and refused to continue to communicate with her. The frustrated Scranton climbed back to the "pocket space" and has since become a capture young man. Scary monsters of people and children.
This accident about SCP-3001 occurred in 20██, and the legend about "horror old man" has been noticed by the Foundation in the 1990s. So this speculation is contradictory in terms of time. Of course, it can be explained that the time in "Pocket Space" is distorted, but it seems a bit far-fetched.
The second guess:
106 is a British soldier during the First World War, named lawrence, rank As a corporal. He and his troops were deployed to the front line confronting the Germans in 索姆河战战, but strangely, even as Lawrence’s comrades, it is not clear where he came from. According to him, he came from a reinforcement from Sedan, but he did not have a garrison order or other documents to prove his identity.
During a mission to detect enemy trenches, Lawrence and his companions had an accident. The Germans in that trench seemed to be attacked by some kind of creature, and none of them survived. They estimated that there was at least one German platoon there, but they did not hear any gunshots, and there were no reports of friendly forces operating here. All the German troops were brutally killed, some of the corpses had grim facial expressions, some were even fragmented, and the entire trench was filled with a rancid smell.
When they were about to evacuate, Laurens discovered a strange cave, about the size of a wheel. There was black mucus all around, which smelled very pungent. For unknown reasons, Lawrence suddenly fell into the hole. When his teammates pulled him out, Lawrence had been in it for about two minutes. Everyone swore afterwards that there was nothing but Lawrence in the hole. Other things made noises, but the strange thing was that 劳伦斯 was not attacked, but kept vomiting that kind of black mucus.
After the entire team evacuated from there, Lawrence’s troops were evacuated to the rear for rest and recuperation. Strange things happened one after another. The soldiers disappeared suddenly, or were found dead for unknown reasons, sometimes there were some around the body. The black mucus is mixed with blood. Lawrence kept talking about the cave. When someone asked what was in the cave, he just repeated how wonderful it was and hoped that he could return there again.
Corporal Lawrence, who returned to the rear to rest, was also his only image.
Not long after Lawrence’s entire team died, and he himself was sent back to the rear with mental illness hospital. After the disappearance of several patients there, Corporal Lawrence officially evaporated from the world, and no more records of him were left. In the decades that followed, there was an urban legend that a terrifying monster would drag people into the dark abyss.
