SCP-7661 in containment.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7661 is to be contained in Site-56's Vehicle Containment Garage. Instances of SCP-7661-A are to be apprehended and contained in standard humanoid chambers at Site-56.

Foundation assets are to monitor road traffic collision data to predict the creation of new SCP-7661-A instances. Newly created instances are to be retrieved from SCP-7661, interviewed, then transported to containment.

Description: SCP-7661 is a 2002 Nissan X-terra sports utility vehicle consistent with those produced at the Nissan Smyrna Assembly Plant in Tennessee, USA. No records exist of its manufacture; a plaque reading "Courtesy Vehicle" is located where the windshield VIN plate would be. SCP-7661 otherwise operates similarly to a non-anomalous automobile.

SCP-7661 will undergo an anomalous event when any 2002 Nissan X-terra is involved in a road traffic collision in which the driver is terminated as a direct result. An exact duplicate of the driver, designated SCP-7661-A, will manifest within SCP-7661 between 21 and 37 hours following the driver’s death. All instances of SCP-7661-A are physically and genetically identical to their terminated counterpart and possess memories that the latter would have.

Addendum 01: SCP-7661 was first identified by Foundation agents on July 20, 2003 through standard CCTV surveillance of civilian areas. A selection of related transcripts have been provided below.

Third Street and North Dannis Avenue.

<Begin Log>

It is 17:16 EST. The intersection of Third Street and North Dannis Avenue is busy with commotion.

A yellow Nissan X-terra SUV approaches the intersection. Its left indicator is blinking as it stops at the crosswalk.

Multiple oncoming cars pass by as the SUV idles in place.

The traffic signal facing the SUV turns yellow. An oncoming bus stops at the intersection, yielding to the vehicle.

The SUV begins to accelerate, turning left.

An oncoming speeding coupe swerves around the bus and collides with the SUV head-on. The force of the impact pushes the SUV backwards a few meters.

The two vehicles come to rest as the SUV's horn blares. Multiple onlookers begin to walk towards the damaged vehicles in an attempt to provide assistance.

A pedestrian approaches the driver’s side of the SUV and looks inward before reaching in.

The horn ceases blaring.

The pedestrian steps back from the wreckage and begins to solicit additional help from the surrounding crowd.

It is 13:29 EST. Engstrom Street is devoid of activity.

SCP-7661 turns onto the street and stops in front of a gray one-story house. A figure, later identified as SCP-7661-A-1, steps out of the SUV and closes the door behind it.

SCP-7661-A-1 proceeds to walk to the house and ring the doorbell.

The door swings outward and two smaller human figures squeal with glee, running out to embrace SCP-7661-A-1. The latter kneels down with their arms out.

SCP-7661-A-1: Rachel! Dustin!

Figure 1: Mommy! Mommy!

Figure 2: Mom, you're back!

The Figures embrace SCP-7661-A-1.

Another figure exits the house, walking towards SCP-7661-A-1.

Figure 3: Mackenzie… is that you? How are you-

SCP-7661-A-1: Mom!

SCP-7661-A-1 gets up and embraces the third figure. The other two figures follow, and resume hugging SCP-7661-A-1.

Figure 3: I thought you were dead! I saw the… the-

SCP-7661-A-1: Don't worry mom, I'm okay… we'll all be okay.

The figures continue hugging.

SCP-7661-A-1: I missed all of you…

Transcript 7661-4

Date: July 25, 2003

Location: Kyuzhevitz, North Carolina, USA

<Begin Log>

Epsilon-33 agents Timothy Polot, Stacy Stafford, and Clezheimer Nelson approach the house. They are dressed in Kyuzhevitz Police uniforms. Two more agents are preparing to load SCP-7661 onto a Foundation flatbed tow truck.

Polot: Alright team, one last reminder. Repeat after me: "Mackenzie Macrada".

Stafford and Nelson: Mackenzie Macrada.

Polot: "Accident investigation."

Stafford and Nelson: Accident investigation.

The three agents take deep breaths as Agent Polot knocks on the front door.

Polot: Kyuzhevitz Police Department! We have some questions for a "Mrs. Macrada".

The door opens to reveal an elderly woman.

Woman: Hello?

Polot: Hello, ma'am. We need to talk to Mackenzie about the accident she was in about a week ago.

Woman: What do you mean? She's completely fine. I… I thought I lost her, but…

Nelson: Right, but there's been… a discrepancy over who's at fault, so we're here to ask her more about it.

Woman: Um… alright then.

The woman turns around. Behind her, a young boy and girl are visible.

Woman: Mackenzie! The police are here to ask you about that accident!

SCP-7661-A-1 peers from around a corner.

SCP-7661-A-1: That's odd… cops?

SCP-7661-A-1 walks towards the front door as the elderly woman and children watch.

Polot: Hello, Mrs. Macrada. We need you to come down to the station to discuss that accident you were involved in. Don't worry, you're not under arrest or anything.

SCP-7661-A-1: Oh… the accident.

Nelson: It's just gonna take a couple hours. It's for… insurance purposes?

SCP-7661-A-1: Um… okay, officers.

The two children begin to approach SCP-7661-A-1.

Boy: Mom, mom, why are the police taking you?

SCP-7661-A-1 kneels down to eye level with the children as the agents watch silently.

SCP-7661-A-1: They just need to talk to me about the accident last week, Dustin.

Girl: But Mommy, you're okay!

SCP-7661-A-1: Oh Rachel, it's just… adult stuff. I'll explain when you're older.

Stafford: Um… Miss, we're on a bit of a tight schedule…

SCP-7661-A-1: Oh, I see. <to the children> I'll be back soon, stay put with Grandma.

The children attempt to hug SCP-7661-A-1, but are blocked by Agent Polot.

Polot: Don't worry kids, your mother will be back soon.

Boy: Oh… okay, officer.

Girl: <waving to SCP-7661-A-1> Bye, mommy!

SCP-7661-A-1 waves back as it exits the house and is escorted by Agent Nelson to the Foundation-borrowed police cruiser.

Agent Polot exchanges glances with Agent Stafford.

Stafford nods, and the two face the elderly woman as the children watch.

Polot: While my partner takes Mackenzie in, we need to ask you some more questions. Mind if we come in?

Woman: What kind of questions?

As Agent Polot recites his answers, Agent Stafford approaches the children.

Boy: Officer, when's our mom gonna be done with the questions?

Girl: When will Mommy come back?

Agent Stafford does not respond.

Boy: Officer?

The elderly woman becomes agitated with Agent Polot.

Woman: Sir, I do not understand why you need to enter my home.

Agent Polot remains silent as he takes out his can of Class-B aerosol amnestics from his pocket. The woman notices.

Woman: What… what is that?

Agent Polot administers the amnestics in the elderly woman's face.

The woman's mouth opens agape as she breathes in the amnestics. Stafford and the children gasp as they watch.

Boy: G- Grandma? What are you doing to my grandma?

Girl: Grandma!

Agent Polot turns around towards Agent Stafford and the children, who appear distressed. Polot runs towards them, amnestics can in hand.

Boy: What did you do to-

Agent Polot sprays the amnestic aerosol can in the boy's face. The girl begins to cry.

Agent Stafford steps back as Polot administers the amnestics in the girl's face.

The two children cease commotion and stand in a slight daze.

The agents look back at the elderly woman, who has slumped to the floor. Polot runs to her and checks her pulse.

Polot: Shit, I thought she was dead for a second…

Agent Polot looks back at Agent Stafford.

Polot: Why didn't you- why didn't you use your amnestics? You were just standing there!

Stafford: I just- I didn't really… um…

Polot: You need to get used to spraying that stuff, no way around it.

Stafford: It's just that… we just-

Polot: Every second counts.

Agent Polot picks up the elderly woman and carries her to a sofa as Agent Stafford watches.

Polot sets the woman down on the sofa, then grabs the two children to sit them down next to the Woman.

Stafford: I'm sorry.

Agent Polot looks at Agent Stafford and sighs.

Polot: Remember your training next time, Stafford.

The two agents walk towards the front door. Agent Stafford glances behind her at the children and elderly woman sitting docile on the sofa.

The agents exit the house, closing the door behind them.
