SCP-046

**Object #:** SCP-046

**Object Class:** ~~Safe~~ Euclid

**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-046 is to be secured in a 10 x 10 m particle-free steel room. This room needs to be accessible only through a airlock with multiple air purification systems to prevent the introduction of additional particles into the containment chamber. One (1) black painted chair needs to be in the center of the room to allow the subject to be in a silent state. Any type of particles in the air are readily noticeable to SCP-046 and in larger quantities can awaken the subject from their silent state. Access to SCP-046 is only allowed for personnel with access level 3 or higher.

**Description:** SCP-046 is a 2.3 m tall humanoid. It consists of ribbon-like long strands of human flesh, organs and skin. It is completely black. According to genetic analysis, its DNA is largely human and the black coloration is a genetic phenomenon. The subject possesses a deformed human skeleton under its veiled carcass, which is also black in color.

SCP-046 is capable of being subjected to massive physical damage. Movements of the subject sound like flesh rubbing against flesh, and are very slow except for neck and throat movements. Most of the time, SCP-046 is in its so-called "silent state." If the subject is disturbed by small particles or the presence of a lifeform, SCP-046 awakens from its silent state and looks around the room frantically. The following processes are listed as disturbances:

* Rapid movements
* Loud footsteps and noises
* Heavy breathing
* Sweat dripping on the floor
* A breeze or particle touching SCP-046

When SCP-046 has identified a lifeform in the room by one of these sequences, it will slowly stand up and approach the person with bent head and back posture. If the subject quietly sneaks away or remains still in the room, SCP-046 will cross the room to locate the subject. The subject will walk the room several times for a maximum of 15 minutes until he/she sits back in the chair and returns to his/her silent state.

However, if the subject repeats other sequences (see above), such as making loud noises, SCP-046 will locate the subject and use its strand-like ribbons to engage and hold the subject. One test subject was held in SCP-046’s strands for several days, and died due to malnutrition (see Test Log 046-03). There exists no way to escape from SCP-046's strands, as the subject has so far proven resistant to any physical harm.

**Addendum:** During the containment breach on ██/██/19██ in Site-DE19, SCP-046 broke out in Sector-33 and had a yet unknown effect on other humanoid beings. SCP-046 infected SCP-████ [neutralized] with an unknown virus. SCP-████ was found dead in its standard humanoid cell with a ripped open black-colored body. SCP-████'s organs could not be identified or found. So far it is unclear whether they are now contained in SCP-046 or have been devoured in some way. Apparently SCP-████ lived on for several hours as a type of SCP-046 until it died.

**Appendix-02:** [REDACTED] After the containment breach, another dead infected speciemen of SCP-046 was found. Tattered D-class clothing confirmed that the individual was D-1614, which was hiding in corridor G3 in the restrooms.

**Test Log 046-03:**

**Test #:** 1

**Subject:** D-902-1

**Date:** May 17. 20██, 7:00

**Test:** D-902-1 enters the room of SCP-046 and is instructed to yell loudly.

**Result:** SCP-046 looks around frantically, rises up and moves slowly towards D-902-1. Because of that, D-902-1 is instructed to silently leave the room.

**Test #:** 2

**Subject:** D-939-1

**Date:** June 03. 20██, 12:15

**Test:** D-939-1 is to enter the room of SCP-046 and to spit on the ground repeatedly.

**Result:** SCP-046 looks around frantically, rises up and moves slowly towards D-939-1. Then Dr.██████ issued the order via to silently retreat from the room via headset.

**Test #:** 3

**Subject:** D-948-1

**Date:** July 24. 20██, 9:00

**Test:** D-948-1 is to enter the room of SCP-046 and to touch SCP-046.

**Result:** After a loud refusal of D-948-1, SCP-046 is startled and woke up from its silent state. D-948-1 started banging on the access door and shouting for help when SCP-046 slowly approached D-948-1 and enclosed him with his black strands. D-948-1 screamed for 3 more hours until a strand of SCP-046 closed his mouth. D-948-1 could not be released from the cell by any means, most likely died of malnutrition, and inexplicably disintegrated after several weeks in the subject.
