Objet # : SCP-2941
Classe : Euclide
Procédures de Confinement Spéciales : Toutes les instances connues de SCP-2941 doivent être conservées dans des chambres de bioconfinement séparées et totalement isolées, au sein du Site-103 de confinement biologique. Les instances devraient recevoir entre 4 et 6 heures de lumière directe provenant d’un plafonnier fluorescent. Chaque instance de SCP-2941 doit être vérifiée au moins quatre fois par jour, afin de confirmer que les niveaux de moral des spécimens sont conformes aux lignes directrices obligatoires (pour de plus amples renseignements, se référer au document 2941-M-5). Toute mesure du niveau de moral des spécimens supérieure aux paramètres de confinement standard doit être immédiatement signalée au chef de projet actuel. Si les actes de démoralisation standard s’avèrent insuffisants, veuillez consulter le document 2941-DM-1 pour les contremesures de la phase B.
Depuis l’incident 2941-3-2, les interactions avec SCP-2941 sont limitées aux chercheurs disposant d’une autorisation de Niveau 3. De plus, le transport des instances de SCP-2941 à destination, ou en provenance, d’autres ailes de recherche du Site-103 doit être effectué en empruntant des itinéraires pré-approuvés et exempts de circulation des membres du personnel de la Fondation.
Description : SCP-2941 est la désignation collective d’une population anormale de fruits et légumes. Les instances de SCP-2941 ne ressemblent que superficiellement à leurs homologues non anormaux. Elles diffèrent des fruits et légumes non anormaux par leurs modèles de comportement et de croissance. Les instances de SCP-2941 possèdent une conscience sensorielle limitée, sont capable de locomotion et, de plus, certaines ont démontré leur capacité à parler, bien que la manière dont les instances de SCP-2941 parviennent à vocaliser soit actuellement inconnue.
Dans des conditions optimales de confinement, la taille physique de chaque instance de SCP-2941 est conforme à la taille moyenne des spécimens comparables de son espèce spécifique. Toutefois, une croissance rapide se produira dès lors que n’importe quelle instance de SCP-2941 est exposée à de l’affection verbale ou physique, ainsi qu’à tout autre type de renforcement positif. Les instances présenteront également cette propriété lorsqu’elles se livrent à des activités agréables. Ni les tests sur site, ni les modélisations informatiques effectuées par la Fondation, n’ont montré de limites supérieures à l’élargissement de SCP-2941. Une démoralisation adéquate doit être assurée régulièrement, dans la mesure où toute instance laissée seule pendant une période de trois à cinq heures commencera à croître à un rythme sensible. Les chercheurs de la Fondation ont émis l’hypothèse que chaque instance de SCP-2941 a une image de soi innée hautement positive (a naturellement une très bonne image d’elle-même), qui doit être en contrecarrée (contrebalancée) en toutes circonstances.
Addendum A : Liste des instances de SCP-2941 actuellement contenues.1| Instance Designations | Instance Specifics | Special Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SCP-2941-1 | Red Delicious apple (Malus domestica) |
Primary pleasure vector involved rolling around in a circular path within its containment cell until researchers were able to convince SCP-2941-1 that any movement at all will awaken a massive parasitic worm living inside it. It should continue to be made clear that removing the worm from -1 is simply beyond the Foundation's capabilities. |
| SCP-2941-2 | Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) |
Main morale boost comes from engaging in the popular children's game "Peek-a-boo" by being placed underneath a piece of fabric large enough to completely cover it, and then having the fabric quickly pulled away. Tests have shown that SCP-2941-2's greatest demoralization occurs when the fabric is simply left covering -2 and no attempt is made to assist while it tries to roll free. The longest time to date that -2 has been trapped beneath the fabric is sixteen days which, as test models predicted, coincided with record low morale. |
| SCP-2941-3 | Honeydew melon (Cucumis melo) |
Is very quick to notice nearby individuals, and will repeatedly vocalize questions regarding the quality of its roundness. To minimize misunderstanding on SCP-2941-3's part, researchers must be sure to always respond to each query with the statement "You are a hideous cube." |
| SCP-2941-4 | Cavendish banana (Musa acuminata) |
Compulsively attempts to show off its ability to balance vertically on its stem. SCP-2941-4 should always be contained within a bio-chamber specifically modified with a floor that constantly pivots up and down at random angles and direction, preventing -4 from balancing. |
| SCP-2941-5 | Green pepper (Capsicum annuum) |
Regularly vocalizes concerns about the well-being of the rest of the SCP-2941 instances. SCP-2941-5 is to always be told that all the other specimens have made it clear to Foundation personnel that they wish -5 would mind its own business and that its consideration is unwanted. |
| SCP-2941-6 | Persian lime (Citrus × latifolia) |
SCP-2941-6's morale has been shown to markedly increase when placed in a silent containment cell. Researchers are to do hourly checks to confirm that the speaker placed within -6's current bio-chamber is functioning correctly and that the audio file chosen by the current head researcher is playing on an uninterrupted loop at a minimum of 90db. At the time of writing, the sound of a knife scraping a glass bottle has been playing for eighty-four days. |
| SCP-2941-7 | Turnip (Brassica rapa) |
Has expressed repeated desire to only be referred to as "Terry". Foundation personnel are expressly forbidden from doing so, but if absolutely necessary, they should refer to SCP-2941-7 directly, condescendingly, and repeatedly as any other name besides Terry. Names producing the most severe demoralization vectors so far include "Ferguson", "Wingding" and "Budz". |
| SCP-2941-8 | Button mushrooms (2) (Agaricus bisporus) |
As this pair has shown to prefer close visual contact, each separate SCP-2941-8 instance should be kept in detached, opaque chambers a minimum of 4m apart. If the situation requires, researchers are allowed to converse with the -8 instances separately, with a sole focus on pointing out how the other member of the pair had been given the opportunity to be placed back together but voluntarily and happily turned it down. |
| SCP-2941-9 | Peach (Prunus persica) |
Has often expressed displeasure with all forms of physical contact by Foundation researchers. Any researcher involved with the study of SCP-2941-9 should mark on Form 9C how many times they were able to flick -9 with their finger throughout their work shift. |
| SCP-2941-10 | Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo) |
Has a predilection for wanting to tell jokes to Foundation staff. Morale reduction has been maximized by initiating Procedure 2941-10-α, which dictates that SCP-2941-10 be allowed to tell any joke it wishes, but should be addressed immediately afterwards with angrily-delivered comments regarding how poorly the joke was constructed and/or how -10 has profoundly hurt the joke recipient's feelings. |
| SCP-2941-11 | Eggplant (Solanum melongena) |
As long as SCP-2941-11 has been under the Foundation's care, it has repeatedly vocalized only one sentence, without variation: "Hoo boo, I love you." -11's morale has, through much experimentation, shown to decrease the most when addressed with the carefully enunciated response: "You should be hurled into the trash." |
Incident 2941-3-2: Due to a sudden and substantial water leak from Site-103's Antarctic Gardens, one floor directly above SCP-2941-3's containment cell, a decision was made by Junior Researcher Metcalf to temporarily move SCP-2941-3 to an empty research room down the hall. At the same time, testing had just finished for the day with SCP-████ and ten Class D personnel. As the remaining seven were being led back to the on-site Class D barracks, they passed Metcalf transporting SCP-2941-3 the opposite way down the same corridor. Ignoring established Transport Silence Protocols, D-34987 was later heard from recovered surveillance camera system data to call out loudly, "Hey baby, those're some nice round melons you got there!"
Junior Researcher Metcalf, the seven Class D personnel, the two Security Officers leading them, and thirteen other nearby Foundation site staff were instantly crushed when SCP-2941-3 underwent the most rapid growth ever recorded by an SCP-2941 instance. Establishing morale levels low enough to re-contain SCP-2941-3 took eight hours and updated containment procedures were immediately put into effect.
