SCP-4843 (Isabelle)

Item #: SCP-4843

Object Class: Eucild

Special Containment Procedures: The ventilation system must maintain a steady flow of high pressure air into SCP-4843's room at all times. A small ventilation conduit has been installed into the room's desk drawer.

An air compressor is required for continuous control of SCP-4843's exposure to SCP-4843's presence. The air compressor must be installed in the chamber at the intersection of SCP-4843's head and torso, within the base of SCP-4843's spine.

The chamber must be kept at an internal air pressure of 7.1 milligrams per meter of air. This can be attained by connecting SCP-4843's head with an air compressor mounted within SCP-4843's chamber, and using SCP-4843's air pressure to adjust the air supply. Once SCP-4843 has been placed within the chamber, the pressure must be lowered until SCP-4843 can control the air supply with a magnet. The chamber must maintain this pressure for the duration of SCP-4843's presence within the chamber.

The door leading into SCP-4843's room must be removed during SCP-4843's testing. This door must be replaced immediately after SCP-4843 leaves the chamber.

Description: SCP-4843 is a anthropomorphic female Shih Tzu, weighing 0.8 kilograms and measuring 70 centimeters in height. SCP-4843 is calm, intelligent, and exceptionally sociable. It possesses acute spatial memory, the ability for full human vocalization and can remember the layout of any given room. SCP-4843 has shown excellent skills as a house and laboratory guardian, and has demonstrated no history of abuse. SCP-4843 appears to have a high regard for authority figures, such as veterinarians, kennel keepers, and personnel of similar occupations.

SCP-4843 displays remarkable strength and durability. It was able to pry open the door to its containment cell, and forcefully squeeze through the bars to escape. It has been noted that, when agitated or bored, SCP-4843 has the ability to lift up to eight times its own body weight with no self damage. SCP-4843 is capable of enduring an estimated 40,000 kJ of pressure before it requires a rest.

SCP-4843 is unable to relieve itself if it is confined within the walls of a closed room. The lack of privacy and restricted air circulation will cause SCP-4843 to starve. Its primary method of relieving itself is by rubbing against the walls and ceiling in an attempt to create pressure against the skin of its abdomen, which allows the subject to urinate. SCP-4843 will not act normally if the pressure does not exceed the pain threshold of an average adult human, which is around 150 kJ of pressure.

SCP-4843's dietary requirements are varied, but lack any consistency. It has been observed that SCP-4843 tends to prefer food products that are stale and highly seasoned.

SCP-4843 does not distinguish between standard pet food and human food. It will consume human food if it is free of any human odor or debris. SCP-4843's preferred human food is chicken broth, homemade soup, and most macaroni and cheese products. If given access to these foods, SCP-4843 will consume them, regardless of their freshness or condition.

When SCP-4843 is agitated, it will emit a "long, high-pitched, discordant bark." SCP-4843 will continue to bark until it loses consciousness, at which point it will become temporarily limp and unresponsive.

Addendum: SCP-4843 was initially discovered after a distress call from a commercial shipping vessel on which SCP-4843 was kept as a pet. The distress call originated in ████████, which is ███ kilometers from Site-██.
