SCP-122 Tiny Scientists.
Item #: SCP-112
Object Class: Safe but might be changed to Euclid in near future if SCP-112B shows any sign of being more dangerous than personal originally thought.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-112A and SCP-112B are to be housed in separate, climate-controlled containment chambers within Site-77.
SCP-112A's chamber (formerly SCP-112's sole containment) is to be furnished with age-appropriate entertainment, including a chess set, art supplies, and a selection of approved scientific literature. A daily ration of oranges and root beer is to be provided. Interaction with SCP-112A should occur through Level 2 personnel trained in pediatric psychology. Personnel assigned to SCP-112A are encouraged to engage in activities that appeal to a child-like sense of wonder, such as cloud-gazing or simple science experiments. Due to SCP-112A's expressed desire to create robotic gifts for SCP-112B, a small, controlled robotics workshop may be established within its chamber, subject to weekly inspection for potential hazards. All constructed objects are to be cataloged and reviewed by Level 3 staff before being presented to SCP-112B (see Addendum 112-1).
SCP-112B's containment chamber is to be padded and equipped with continuous video monitoring. Restraints are authorized only during medical procedures and transfers. SCP-112B is to be fed a diet of blended nutrient paste, administered via a feeding tube if necessary. Regular veterinary check-ups are mandatory, with a focus on managing pain and preventing infection of Ichor-related wounds. All personnel entering SCP-112B's chamber must wear full-body protective gear to prevent contamination. Dr. Jack Bright is permanently restricted from interacting with SCP-112B. Any requests from Dr. Bright to study or utilize SCP-112B are to be immediately denied and reported to Site Command.
Description: SCP-112 refers to two distinct, sentient entities designated SCP-112A ("Slick") and SCP-112B ("Flick"). Both entities are mammalian in appearance, possessing fur-covered bodies, lab coats, and large goggles. Despite their intellectual capacity as skilled scientists, particularly in the fields of chemistry (SCP-112A) and robotics (SCP-112B), both entities exhibit the emotional maturity and cognitive understanding of children approximately six years of age. The prevailing sentiment among research staff is one of affection and protectiveness towards both SCP-112A and SCP-112B, though this has been severely strained following Incident 112-Ichor.
SCP-112A is approximately 1 meter in height, with white fur and blue gradient markings on its hands and head. SCP-112A demonstrates a penchant for chess, root beer, and observing clouds. He is described as flamboyant, arrogant, brash, respectful, impulsive, compassionate, protective, tactical, and loving.
SCP-112B is similarly sized, with gray fur and purple gradient markings. SCP-112B shows preferences for dressmaking, problem-solving, milk, and butterflies. It wears blue pants under its lab coat. It is described as studious, curious, egocentric, hotheaded, caring, and easily angered.
Prior to Incident 112-Ichor, both entities resided peacefully within a single containment chamber and were cooperative with Foundation staff. SCP-112A was observed to be highly protective of SCP-112B, ensuring it took its prescribed medications.
Following Incident 112-Ichor, SCP-112B's condition has deteriorated significantly. SCP-112B presents as highly agitated and appears to be in immense pain. Its purple gradient markings have turned a crimson red, and it constantly secretes an unidentified corrosive fluid ("Ichor") from its mouth and hands. SCP-112B is no longer capable of coherent speech and exhibits animalistic behavior. Despite these changes, SCP-112B displays occasional episodes of distress, during which it ceases its violent actions and appears to weep.
SCP-112A is aware of SCP-112B's absence and as previously mentioned is actively making various toys to give to SCP-122B, but it appears as though SCP-112A is also attempting to construct robotic companions, presumably in an effort to replicate SCP-112B. The efficacy of these creations in alleviating SCP-112A's distress is currently under investigation.
Addendum 112-1: Following Incident 112-Ichor, Foundation staff have noted a significant increase in SCP-112A's diligent efforts to create a replacement for SCP-112B. The Ethics Committee has issued a standing order that any creations of SCP-112A that bear a strong resemblance to SCP-112B are to be terminated immediately to prevent any further psychological harm to SCP-112A.
