Item #: SCP-103
Object Class: Euclid
Status: Re-contained
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-103 does not require any specific or strict containment procedures. If SCP-103 begins to show any signs of distress or erratic behavior, SCP-103 is to be moved to a 5m x 5m room while awaiting medical examination. A standard cooler with 12 bottles of fresh spring water are to be delivered to SCP-103’s room daily.
EDIT: See Addenda 103-a and 103-b.
Revised Containment Procedures: SCP-103 is to be maintained in a medically-induced vegetative state to ensure compliance. It is to be kept alive with regular [REDACTED] certain that the incisions are not allowed to heal, keeping SCP-103’s stomach cavity exposed at all times. Class Four Foundation Restricted Medical Kit is to be employed by all personnel interacting with SCP-103.
All [REDACTED] from SCP-103 are to be incinerated. At no time should any personnel come into unprotected contact with any object or substance removed from SCP-103.
Description: SCP-103 is an average human male in his mid-forties, measuring 190 cm in height, and weighing 100 kg. SCP-103 has no known living relatives at this time.
SCP-103 attracted Foundation attention after checking into [REDACTED] hospital in [REDACTED], explaining to medical staff that he had not eaten for weeks, due to not feeling any effects of hunger. After an initial examination, SCP-103 appeared to be perfectly healthy despite his condition.
Upon obtaining and studying SCP-103, it appears that any solid or liquid coming in contact with the inside of SCP-103’s stomach disappears instantaneously. At this point, it is unknown how SCP-103 obtains the nutrients that a human would need to survive or where the provided food ends up after consumption, as SCP-103 also does not expel any waste. SCP-103 has reported becoming thirsty, as a normal human would. SCP-103 has shown no signs of hostility towards Foundation personnel, occasionally engaging in conversation and board games provided by staff.
EDIT: See Addendum 103-b.
Addendum 103-a: All testing to date has been inconclusive, and it is unlikely anything new can be learned from further testing. Research terminated. SCP-103 released, but to remain under observation and report for mandatory medical examination on a monthly basis. SCP-103 has been provided with a means of contacting Foundation personnel in the event of a change in condition. Research logs are to remain on file.
Addendum 103-b: On █/██/████, SCP-103 reported to a Foundation medical facility. SCP-103 was observed at this time to be vomiting copious amounts of blood, in excess of ██ liters. This blood did not match SCP-103’s blood type, nor did it [DATA EXPUNGED]. A stomach pump procedure was attempted, but failed due to the volume of blood being produced. Within █ hours, blood flow ceased. Shortly thereafter, Foundation medical personnel initiated an exploratory surgical procedure.
Upon opening SCP-103’s stomach cavity, Doctor Yun noted several protrusions along the outer lining of the stomach, in an approximation of a human face. When Doctor Yun attempted a biopsy, the protrusions suddenly retreated, implying that they were the imprint of a foreign body inside the stomach.
Doctor Yun was ordered to continue the exploratory procedure, despite his showing great reluctance to do so. His reluctance was noted on record, and will be submitted as evidence in the hearings of Medical Supervisor ███████’s court martial procedure.
When the stomach was opened, [DATA EXPUNGED]ilar to Cestoid [DATA EXPUNGED] fatalities, including Doctor Yun, Research Assistant Sims, and Research Assistant Renfield. Medical Supervisor ███████’s negligence is under review.
SCP-103 has been reclassified Euclid and re-contained with updated containment protocols.
