SCP-763

Item #: SCP-763

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-763 is contained in Sub-Basement G

of the now-defunct ██████ █████ veal

production facility on the outskirts of

██████, Illinois. After the discovery

of SCP-763, the Foundation acquired the

facility and it was secured and

designated Biological Site-██. The

facility is still supplied with the

liquid feed solution previously used to

nourish veal calves, though only enough

to maintain SCP-763's growth. The

feeding system established by the

facility's previous owner, Klaus ████

has been documented and should be

maintained unless a more efficient Figure A: The late Dr. █████ holding
feeding method is devised. If any a portion of SCP-763 removed for
components are added to SCP-763, the
testing which contained three livers,

dosage of nutrient solution must be two kidneys, and a pancreas.

scaled up accordingly. Consult document

SCP-763-█ for the volume and release

time of solution to be provided per component.

Because of SCP-763's ability to absorb human organic matter into itself,
it is vitally important that no personnel touch SCP-763 with bare skin.

Description: SCP-763 is a mass of human organic tissue occupying
approximately three hundred (300) square meters of space with an
estimated mass of over four thousand (4,000) kilograms. It is mostly in
an irregular configuration of tissue, with the exception of SCP-763-A.
Much of the mass of SCP-763 is muscular tissue with an abundance of blood
vessels. This muscle tissue is highly atrophied and non-motile, though
despite lack of use there is a great amount of blood flow at all times.
Most of the structure is relatively thin at around ten (10) centimeters
thick, allowing the blood flow to diffuse the high heat generated by the
central mass, which is a large lump approximately two (2) meters high.
This blood flow is provided by a large, central collection of hearts and
a number of other hearts arrayed throughout SCP-763's structure. All the
organs of the human body are present in SCP-763, located in a relatively
even distribution throughout the system. The lungs are fed by a number of

mouth-like round holes in SCP-763's skin. The feeding tubes pass directly
into SCP-763 as though the flesh grew around them as its mass expanded.

Researchers believe that the blood vessels and organs are essentially a
support system for what has been designated "the cluster". The cluster is
an interconnected network of thirty-seven (37) human brains of varying
sizes, connected by chains of cells resembling neurons. This array is
enclosed by a multi-layered arrangement of bone growths. The bones most
closely resemble ribs, though they exhibit offshoots that allow them to
interlace into a tighter structure. Initial analysis revealed a far
higher than normal amount of neurotransmitter activity. Over time the
individual brains each enter a "resting" state with neural activity
consistent with REM sleep, in time periods consistent with a polyphasic
sleep pattern. This resting state lasts approximately forty-five (45)
minutes. At any given time there are five (5) brains in this resting
state while the remaining thirty-two (32) brains are in the active state.

A collection of bone and nerve fibers resembling a spinal column
approximately three (3) meters in length extends from the cluster to join
with the spinal column of SCP-763-A. SCP-763-A appears to be the body of
the facility's former owner, Klaus ████. The body is only partially
absorbed into the rest of SCP-763, retaining all its (presumably)
original organs and general shape and structure. To date it has shown no
signs of movement or further absorption. It should be noted that other
absorbed subjects have been completely integrated into SCP-763 within
three (3) months. When SCP-763 was discovered, SCP-763-A was in a seated
position, in which it remains. There was a table in front of SCP-763-A
with a sheaf of papers on them, completely decayed from the warm, damp
conditions of Sub-Basement G. SCP-763-A's hand held a pencil, apparently
poised to write. Any previous writing has been lost with the degradation
of the paper. SCP-763-A's facial expression is one of intense
concentration or perhaps pain, with features contorted and eyes closed.
Unlike the rest of the muscular tissue in SCP-763, SCP-763-A is not
atrophied, despite having exhibited no movement to date. Researchers
assume that SCP-763-A remains unabsorbed to function as an interface with
the rest of SCP-763. To date no stimulus has provoked a response from
SCP-763-A, other than autonomic reflexes and immune system response.

Since its discovery by the Foundation, SCP-763 has incorporated
biological material from seven (7) humans (two (2) security personnel,
one (1) medical technician, three (3) Class-D personnel, and Dr. █████).
Direct skin contact with SCP-763 causes tiny barbs to hook into the skin
and administer a paralytic neurotoxin. As soon as the subject is
paralyzed, digestive acids are secreted and begin to dissolve the skin
where contact was initiated. Once this is done, the skin will begin to
heal at an accelerated rate, with the subject's skin now bonding with
SCP-763. This process of dissolving and re-healing is repeated over and

over with the subject becoming progressively more integrated into
SCP-763. After a subject is mostly absorbed, their organs being to
migrate to different areas, taking their place throughout the network as
needed. In some cases, organs that are seemingly not needed are digested
and used for additional nutrition. Most subjects have been fully absorbed
within two months. Dr. █████'s organs did not stop their movement until
more than three (3) months had passed. Researchers believe that this
longer time was due to the inner cage around the cluster moving to
accommodate the addition of Dr. █████'s brain. To date this is the only
time at which a brain has been added, with all others digested.

Addenda:

Incident Report 763-1A:
While securing the premises, security personnel J. ██████ and M. ███████
failed to check in for their scheduled updates. A second team was
deployed and discovered J. ██████ and M. ███████ unresponsive and in the
preliminary stages of absorption. Attempts to extricate personnel from
SCP-763 resulted in the deaths of both staff members, as well as a
medical technician who made direct skin contact during surgery.

Incident Report 763-12G:
After noticing irregularities in the radio updates coming from Biological
Site-██, a security team was dispatched to investigate. Armed Response
Team Omicron-3 discovered all site personnel poisoned with the exception
of the head researcher, Dr. █████, who was found mostly incorporated into
SCP-763. Apparently, he had made a large incision in SCP-763 and folded
himself inside. A note was found near Dr. █████'s discarded clothing. The
note is reproduced below:

I have to know. Six months and not a single inkling of what's going
on in there. I don't give ███ █████ in a █████ ███ about organ
function and immunodeficiency. I need to know what they're… what
it's thinking.

I need to know. I will know.

Despite initial desire to terminate the biological components of Dr.
█████ for his betrayal, Armed Response Team Omicron-3 was instructed to
desist after replacement research personnel discovered that Dr. █████'s
brain was being incorporated into the cluster. The additional research
data gained by observing this process was deemed more important than
revenge.

Addendum 763-13L: Request by researchers that SCP-763-A be provided
with replacement writing materials in the event that it should attempt to
write is currently pending.
