SCP-052

Item #: SCP-052
Object-class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Persons affected by SCP-052-01 are to brought to Site-DE14 or Site-DE6 as soon as possible, where procedure Maspraeg-021 will be performed. All discovered instances of SCP-052-02 must be swiftly neutralized, whereby flamethrowers have proven to be highly effective.
Description: SCP-052 is a phenomenon that seems to exclusively occur among man in the age of 21 to 52. It expresses itself via long-lasting pain located in the right, upper abdomen, in accompanied by increasing loss of appetite. X-ray imaging and other non-invasive examinations show no abnormalities. Solely a colonoscopy or surgical intervention in the corresponding area show that, on the lower end of the Colon ascendes, an oval object measuring approximately 3cm in diameter is located which, through thin, tentacle-like appendages, is attached to the outer intestinal wall.
When questioned, affected persons stated that they do not know what the object is nor how it got into their intestines. But intensive inquiries revealed that almost all affected could remember, having fallen asleep or passed out on a toilet, before the symptoms became present shortly thereafter.
If the oval object is not removed, SCP-052-02 will hatch approximately one month after the first symptoms. It consists of an entity primarily described as having a big, spherical body featuring eighteen tentacles as well as a teeth-lined opening in its center. SCP-052-02 exits the body after hatching threw the following forms:
Naturally: SCP-052-02 progresses down the colon and into the rectum, where it waits for it to open (most commonly in the course of a toilet visit), and leaves the body in this manner. The persons experiences no lasting subsequent damages to their body.
Rupture: SCP-052-02 uses its teeth to burrow itself threw the anterior abdominal wall, and to leave the body this way. If fast, medical treatment is carried out, the affected person will survive, and, depending on the lethality of the injury, can avoid lasting damage threw surgeries and therapies.
Invasive: SCP-052-02 utilizes its teeth to excavate itself through the body, in most cases towards the throat, before leaving the body. Even with immediate medical care, chances of survival will be equal to zero.
As soon as SCP-052-02 has exited the body, it will progress to the nearest body of water; with sewerage systems being its preferred choice. Any attempts to pursuit SCP-052-02 after this point were unsuccessful.
Autopsies conducted on SCP-052-02 specimens have revealed that they are hermaphrodite beings with enormous regenerative abilities, the genitals of whom are situated in the interior, what points to their reproduction being of asexual nature. The half of the existing tentacles feature a canal that seems to lead to an egg bag inside of its body. In the other tentacles are glands located that seem to produce a kind of lubricant, which, threw skin contact, can trigger the effects of a potent amnestica. In addition, the autopsy findings indicate that SCP-052-02 inhabits the potential to grow itself hundredfold; provided it has proper nutrition. Tests conducted on living organisms yielded to the result that it is attracted by traces of [REDACTED], which is found in the urine of sexually matured men.
If a person affected by SCP-052 is discovered, they are to be immediately be brought to Site-DE14 or Site-D64, where appropriate personal and equipment is situated to perform Procedure Maspraeg-021. Procedure Maspraeg-021 consists of an intervention through which the "egg" of SCP-052-02 gets removed and destroyed, with no traces remaining.
To this date, there is no known way to determine, how many male specimens of SCP-052-02 exist or where they are located. The only team that was able to find SCP-052-02 in subterranean sewers, is declared lost.

//You all must have heard it by now. One MTF managed to find a kind of "nest" of SCP-052-02. Said MTF is considered to be lost, and officially we don`t know where this nest is or if our men are still alive. Officially, this is the reason why we don`t just throw some burning canisters of gasoline in there to eliminate these things.
Formerly, it is nonsense.
We don't know where the nest is. We do know that our men are still under the living. The man`s shoulder cameras are equipped with a system of long-lasting, self-exchanging batteries, so that the cameras will still be able to transmit for over a year.
So why don‘t we just destroy these things? Well, they have a group of men in their nest. They alternate with hold the men in their tentacles, impregnate them, and, after the offsprings hatched, use their tentacles to extract them from the bodies. And then they impregnate them again, repeatedly little by little with a higher amount of eggs. Footage shows that more and more instances of SCP-052-02 are coming into the nest. This suggests that they just want to reproduce. And now, they no longer have to swim threw canals and reach with their tentacles through toilet bowls, but can comfortably manage this at home. And what’s the most astonishing? They keep our men alive. They plug their tentacles in our men’s mouths and let themself be partially eaten by them. They force them to this. SCP-052-02 is regenerating fast, so it doesn't seem to bother them.
We are of course working on plans to seal the nest off and to contain SCP-052. But currently, our priority is to send drones down there, to place cameras, so we can keep the situation under control, even if the cameras of our men turn blank. And, provided that new instances of SCP-052-02 are coming to the nest, and, provided that new cases of SCP-052-01 from beyond the nest are thereby decreasing, our priorities will not change.
In other words: We are leaving a dozen men down there and in return, civilians are will be spared of this fate.
That is why we not simply extinguish or lock the nest off, provided that there may be more of SCP-052-02 out there.
And that is why we allow that, down there, our men are getting abused as breeding slaves.
Therefore we are the foundation. We make sacrifices to protect humanity. And we make decisions that no one wants to make.
Secure. Contain. Protect.
