Containment Class:
euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4820 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment module at Site-17. Up to 5 liters of blood may be withdrawn from SCP-4820 in any given 24-hour period. Withdrawal of larger amounts, or the harvesting of any of SCP-4820's organs, must be approved by at least one Level 4 Personnel.
SCP-4820 need not be supplied with food, and refuses any offered to it. SCP-4820 has requested access to cooking implements, various spices, and a selection of sauces. These requests have been granted on a probationary basis, and may be revoked as a disciplinary measure if the need arises. Consumption of food prepared by SCP-4820 is discouraged.
Description: SCP-4820 is an adult Indonesian man, apparently 40-50 years of age. The object is able to rapidly regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue. These capabilities possess no known limit; SCP-4820 can even regrow appendages that have been completely severed. Regeneration time increases with the severity of the injury in question and the extent of the damage; minor incisions heal almost instantaneously, but extracted internal organs take several hours to regenerate. SCP-4820 does not appear to feel pain, and often fails to notice when it is injured.
It is currently unknown how SCP-4820 fuels this rapid regeneration; it requires no more food or water than a standard human.
Addendum 4820-1: Below is a sample of some of the tests performed on SCP-4820.
| Test Number |
Reason for Test |
Procedure |
Outcome |
Additional Notes |
| Test #1 |
Pain Response |
A 21 gauge syringe was used to withdraw 10ml of blood from SCP-4820's right arm. Subject questioned whether this caused him any pain or discomfort. |
SCP-4820 reported no pain, as expected. |
Extracted blood did not exhibit regenerative properties or other anomalous qualities. |
| Test #2 |
Epidermal Regeneration |
A 5 cm square was removed from SCP-4820's left forearm. |
Injury healed in < 5 seconds. |
Removed epidermal tissue did not exhibit regenerative properties or other anomalous qualities. |
| Test #3 |
Burn Regeneration |
The end of a small copper rod was heated to 70 degrees Celsius and held to the epidermis of the subject (right forearm) until a first degree burn manifested. |
Injury healed in < 5 seconds. |
|
| Test #4 |
Bone Realignment |
Left index finger dislocated. |
Bone realigned almost immediately. |
|
In keeping with Ethics Committee Mandate #9173, further tests required Ethics Committee Approval. Dr. V█████ submitted proposals for eight additional tests, six of which were approved. Proposed tests and their results, or reasons for denial of testing, are reproduced below.
| Test Number |
Reason for Test |
Procedure |
Outcome |
Additional Notes |
| Test #5 |
Limb Regeneration |
Left index finger severed at the first knuckle. |
Finger regrew from the stump. Simpler tissues regenerated first; first skin, then bone, then connective tissue, then muscles, and finally nerves. |
New digit did not initially possess a fingernail; one later grew at the normal speed for a human. |
| Test #6 |
Limb Reattachment |
Left ring finger severed at the first knuckle. SCP-4820 was instructed to attempt to reattach the severed member. |
SCP-4820 attempted to reattach the severed finger by holding it to the stump. Reattachment did not occur; new tissue had already begun developing, and would not reassimilate the severed finger. |
Regenerated finger lacked a fingernail, as expected. |
| Test #7 |
Surgical Limb Reattachment |
Left pinky finger severed, then sewn back on. |
Finger did not reattach. New tissue developed behind the sewn-on digit, forcibly tearing the old digit from the stitches as it grew. |
Regenerated finger lacked a fingernail, as expected. |
| Test #8 |
Blood Regeneration |
Extraction of blood via a standard IV apparatus until early symptoms of low blood pressure or blood loss. The extracted blood is then to be reinserted. |
SCP-4820 exhibited no symptoms of blood loss. Testing halted following the extraction of 100 liters of blood, which were not reinserted for obvious reasons. |
Extensive testing, including transfusion into D-Class test subjects, has shown no residual anomalies in extracted blood. Long-term storage of large amounts of SCP-4820's blood in multiple on-Site blood banks has been approved, although transfusion of the blood to essential personnel is recommended only in case of emergencies. |
| Test #9 |
Organ Regeneration |
Right kidney removed. |
Subject regenerated a replacement kidney within 4 hours. |
The removed kidney was successfully transplanted into D-11424, whose kidney was previously lost during exploration of SCP-3379. Extensive testing showed no residual anomalies in D-11424. Usage of SCP-4820 as an emergency organ donor has been approved. |
| Test #10 |
Receptivity to Organ Transplantation |
Left kidney removed, then replaced with a compatible kidney from a D-Class test subject. |
DENIED |
Proposed test poses too great a risk of unanticipated response to organic foreign bodies. |
| Test #11 |
Response to Inorganic Foreign Bodies |
Stainless steel nail, .5 cm in diameter, driven through palm of left hand. |
Wound did not heal until the nail was removed. |
SCP-4820 was distressed by this result. |
| Test #12 |
Response to Critical Injuries |
Stainless steel spike, 1 cm in diameter, driven through the heart. |
DENIED |
Proposed test poses too great a risk of death, permanent brain damage, or other unnecessary suffering to SCP-4820. |
Addendum 4820-2: Transcript of an interview between Dr. V█████ and SCP-4820, shortly after its initial containment. Transcript has been translated from Indonesian, SCP-4820's preferred language.
<begin log>
Dr. V█████: Good afternoon, SCP-4820.
SCP-4820: Is that what you are going to call me now?
Dr. V█████: Yes. It's just the protocol, nothing personal.
SCP-4820: Guess I'm not getting out of here any time soon, am I?
Dr. V█████: I'm afraid not.
SCP-4820: Oh well. At least this place has people to talk to. Not like ████████.
Dr. V█████: The island you were stranded on?
SCP-4820: If you can call that blasted pebble an island.
Dr. V█████: It was certainly a hostile environment. But you still survived on it for almost twelve years. Care to explain how?
SCP-4820: Well, at first I prayed for escape, like any right-minded shipwreck survivor would. That was all I really wanted at first; I knew how to distill water, and there was a little cave where I could get out of the sun.
Dr. V█████: What changed?
SCP-4820: I got hungry! [SCP-4820 laughs] Escape got a whole lot less important after that.
Dr. V█████: So what did you do?
SCP-4820: I would have tried to catch some fish or something, but all I had to work with was a knife, some rocks, and one set of clothes. I thought about taking my chances in the water, but decided I'd still be better off starving in a cave than trying to swim all the way back home in open water. So I crawled down to the very back of that little cave, where it was nice and dark and cool, and prayed for something to eat.
Dr. V█████: And that's when you developed your anomalous properties?
SCP-4820: Yes. I passed out back there - because I was exhausted - and then when I woke up I noticed all my cuts and bruises were gone. I got hurt pretty bad when the ship went down but now all that had healed. And it wasn't just those; all my scars were gone, too. Even my calluses had disappeared.
Dr. V█████: What did you do when you realized this?
SCP-4820: I thought I'd stayed in the sun too long. I would've cut myself to make sure if I'd had something sharp, but I'd left my knife outside, so I just picked a hand and bit down. Watched it heal right back up.
Dr. V█████: Then what did you do?
[SCP-4820 smiles]
SCP-4820: What any sailor does when he's stranded on a barren island with only one food source.
<end log>
Addendum 4820-3: List of materials recovered from ████████ with SCP-4820.
- 1 metal survival knife, rusted and dulled to the point of uselessness
- 2 knives carved from a human tibia
- 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants, consisting of human skin sewn together with sinew and hair
- 1 needle, carved from an unidentified human bone
- 1 set of chess pieces; the "white" side is carved from various fingerbones, while the "black" side is carved from toes
- A crude shelter constructed of human skin and a single large piece of driftwood
- Approximately 4,000 human teeth, piled neatly outside a cave entrance.
Addendum 4820-4: Transcript of a second interview conducted with SCP-4820, the day following its recovery.
<begin log>
Dr. V█████: Good morning, SCP-4820.
SCP-4820: Hello, doctor. What's new?
Dr. V█████: I'm here to ask you some questions about the time you spent on ████████.
SCP-4820: Sure.
Dr. V█████: We've recovered the materials you, ah, made. How did you do that?
SCP-4820: Simple enough. I still had my knife at the beginning, so I was able to do some carving. First I made a new one out of bone, because metal doesn't typically last too long around all that salt water.
Dr. V█████: Right.
SCP-4820: Then I made a net, because I was hoping to add some variety to my diet.
Dr. V█████: We didn't find a net on the island.
SCP-4820: Of course not. Once I finally made one that would hold together, it didn't do me any good. I hadn't noticed until then, but all the animals avoided that island like the plague. The birds wouldn't even fly over it.
Dr. V█████: Why not?
SCP-4820: Best I can figure, they could feel there was something wrong. Something…off. I felt it too, sometimes. Maybe it was whatever sick genie gave me this gift. Whatever lived in that cave.
Dr. V█████: There was an entity in the cave?
SCP-4820: Maybe not an entity, but a presence at least. Something very old. Something very different from you and me. Spooked me if I thought about it too much, but it saved my life that night, so I didn't complain. Still didn't sleep in the cave after that, though.
Dr. V█████: But you did leave a pile of teeth outside it.
SCP-4820: Had to keep track of the days somehow, right? I've always had really loose teeth. Must be genetic or something, or I wouldn't anymore. So, in the absence of any real writing materials, I decided I'd use them to keep track of the days. I ripped one out every day at dawn.
Dr. V█████: But why did you decide to pile them outside the cave?
[SCP-4820 appears confused.]
SCP-4820: Not really sure. Guess I figured a little offering couldn't hurt. [SCP-4820 chuckles nervously]
<end log>
Addendum 4820-5: Exploration of ████████. The island of ████████ has a land area of slightly less than one square kilometer at low tide. At high tide, only a few hundred square meters remain above water. No animals or edible plants inhabit the island. ████████'s only notable feature is an irregular cave entrance approximately 1 meter high and 1.5 meters wide, located near the highest point of the terrain and opening to the south. The entrance allows passage into an elliptical cave, roughly 2 meters wide at its widest point, 2.3 meters high at its highest, and 3 meters deep. Thorough inspection of the cave revealed no anomalous qualities, although personnel did report a “bad feeling”.
Addendum 4820-6: Portion of the third interview with SCP-4820, conducted █ weeks after initial containment.
<begin log>
Dr. V█████: Hello again, SCP-4820.
SCP-4820: Hey, doc. Say, do you guys have any sambal?
Dr. V█████: I can file a request for some if you like.
SCP-4820: Please. I taste better with seasoning.
Dr. V█████: Yes, well, that's actually why I'm here. To discuss your refusal to accept rations.
SCP-4820: What about it?
Dr. V█████: Well, we expected that you'd be eager to, uh, inject some more variety into your diet.
SCP-4820: That's what the sambal is for.
Dr. V█████: But why do you still insist on consuming your, uh, self?
SCP-4820: Doctor, have you ever spent twelve years completely alone? Don't answer that, I know you haven't. When a man's alone for that long, he has to latch onto something, an anchor, if you will, so he doesn't go completely nuts. Some men write books. Some play chess. Me? I had this. [SCP-4820 breaks its right index finger, then watches as it heals.] Infinite healing. Not immortality, though. I still had to eat. My flesh always grew back, but if I didn't eat I would starve. So I ate the only food I had, myself. How many times did I consume myself, recycle the nutrients back into more flesh before eating it again? It was a cycle. A perfect circle, even. I had become the entire food chain. I had become everything. So that's what I latched on to. That circle. It became holy to me. Sacred. And that hasn't changed just because I'm off the island. I think I experienced God out there, in a way. How it felt to be God, eternally eating and being eaten, the beginning and end of everything. And it was a good feeling.
