If you didn’t know already, I actually wrote SCP-999 for the SCP Foundation, and since then have been blown away not just by the largely positive reaction to it by the Foundation staff (considering the Foundation’s typically dark and cynical tone), but by the sheer amount of fanart inspired by this cuddly orange blob.
I’ve wanted to write something involving SCP-999 again for a while, but have never really known what to write. But just the other day I decided to combine my personal creation with one of my favorite experiment logs, SCP-914! You can either read it here (just search for “SCP-999″ and you’ll find it), or, just in case it gets pruned by the mods, you can read it down below:
Name: Prof. Snider
Date: 4/15/18
Total Items: 5 500mL samples of SCP-999's slime (Note: SCP-999 was at first eager to donate samples when asked, although it was visibly nervous when presented with a syringe, requiring gentle reassurance and calming before cooperating. Samples were extracted successfully without further incident, though whether or not SCP-999 feels pain is still unknown)
Input: 500mL sample of SCP-999, poured directly into Input chamber
Setting: Rough
Output: Cloud of orange-colored gas, which quickly dissipated into the air. No harmful effects were found, though Prof. Snider noted it "smelled like burning hair".
Input: 500mL sample of SCP-999
Setting: Course
Output: Pile of waxy, crystalline orange granules with a mild orange scent. Chemical analysis identified it as flavored sucrose, A.K.A. rock candy. When tasted, granules were found to have an extremely unpleasant flavor described as "overwhelmingly, disgustingly sweet with an alcohol-like undertaste".
Input: 500mL sample of SCP-999
Setting: 1:1
Output: 500mL of orange liquid with the viscosity of water. Extremely greasy to the touch, became sticky when dried. Smelled mildly of peanuts.
Input: 500mL sample of SCP-999
Setting: Fine
Output: A frozen block of SCP-999 slime. Attempting to melt back to liquid form resulted in a pile of orange sludge much thicker and more adhesive than before. Further heating resulted in discovering its napalm-like qualities.
Input: 500mL sample of SCP-999
Setting: Very Fine
Output: A small, spherical sphere of translucent, azure-colored slime roughly 12cm in diameter, with a strong garlic-like odor. Found to be mobile and sentient, and capable of making gurgling, chirping vocalizations similar to SCP-999 but at a much deeper pitch. The entity, designated "E-999-A", was immediately hostile to all staff, attempting to either leap upon researchers' faces or "headbutt" their shins via rolling across the floor at high speed, though its small size and mass prevented it from doing more than mild bruising.
E-999-A Was eventually contained and presented to SCP-999, with the assumption that this was its "offspring", and that SCP-999 could teach it to become more docile. SCP-999 instead reacted with immediate hostility, attacking E-999-A with its pseudopods while E-999-A rolled around SCP-999, emitting loud "growling" and "snarling" noises while dodging. SCP-999 finally eliminated E-999-A roughly two minutes later via engulfing it with two pseudopods, rapidly dissolving E-999-A inside its body similar to how SCP-999 digests its meals.
No change in SCP-999's color or demeanor following the incident has been noted, however it is the first and thus far only time that SCP-999 has ever reacted to anything with hostility or violence. Further research involving SCP-999's slime is temporarily suspended save for researchers with at least Level 3 clearance, and any experiments involving SCP-999 and SCP-914 are completely prohibited. Mentioning E-999-A to SCP-999 results in it immediately "ignoring" whoever speaks to it, often by wandering off to play with a nearby object or person.
