Item #: SCP-001-A-2
Object Class: Euclid
(Note: SCP-001-A was retroactively reclassified into SCP-001-A-1 following the discovery of SCP-001-A-2. Both entities are identified as subordinate guardians within the domain of SCP-001.)
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-001-A-2 cannot be relocated or contained externally, as it remains bound to the Fourth Floor of SCP-001.
Foundation has established a remote observation outpost approximately 400 m from SCP-001-A-2's chamber. Access to the Fourth Floor is restricted to exploratory missions authorized by O5 Command. All expeditions must maintain a minimum distance of 200 m from SCP-001-A-2 unless otherwise instructed.
Attempts to provoke SCP-001-A-2 are forbidden.
Description:
SCP-001-A-2 is a massive humanoid-shaped entity measuring approximately 30 m in height. Its form appears to be composed of stone-like and metallic material interwoven with crystalline structures. Despite its inorganic appearance, SCP-001-A-2 displays biological properties, including self-repair and emission of high-energy radiation detectable during activity.
SCP-001-A-2 is seated upon a dais-like structure at the center of the Fourth Floor chamber. It remains motionless under normal conditions, though seismic vibrations and posture changes have been observed when explorers approach closer than 200 m. These responses include:
Raising its head toward intruders.
Emitting low-frequency vibrations.
Beginning to stand before returning to a seated position if personnel retreat.
No direct vocalization, language, or overt intelligence has yet been observed.
Based on current evidence, SCP-001-A-2 appears to function as a guardian construct of SCP-001's Fourth Floor.
Discovery:
SCP-001-A-2 was encountered during a sanctioned deep exploration mission into SCP-001 while SCP-001-A-1 (a separate guardian previously designated SCP-001-A) was lured away from the upper levels.
The exploration team reached the Fourth Floor, where they observed SCP-001-A-2 seated at the central chamber. The entity showed awareness but did not pursue or attack once the team withdrew.
Following this encounter, Foundation Command issued a retroactive reclassification order:
SCP-001-A (previous guardian) → SCP-001-A-1.
Newly encountered guardian → SCP-001-A-2.
This nomenclature will extend to any further guardian entities discovered within SCP-001.
