SCP-142-GOM



Item #: SCP-142-GOM "What Little Boys Are Made Of"

Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-142 is to be contained in a containment room in Site-32, it is locked in a cube with a key that must be requested from the site director.

No personnel other than D-Classes are to look at SCP-142 while experimenting, as personnel may turn into SCP-142-1. To see specific results for each gender, D-Classes of a specific gender must be used for testing with SCP-142. If not contained then SCP-142-1 instances may be properly terminated.

Description: SCP-142 is a single pane of slate, approximately 200 cm long 220 cm wide, it appears to date for atleast 30 years, there are also cuts on it on the front of the slab.

There is an engraved rhyme on SCP-142 which resembles the nursery rhyme called "What Are Little Boys Made Of?" The size of the rhyme appears to be made that it completely fills the sentence limit of the pane, the original rhyme for personnel whose did not heard of the rhyme is found below;

What are little boys made of? What are little boys made of? Snips and snails And puppy-dogs' tails, That's what little boys are made of. What are little girls made of? What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice And everything nice, That's what little girls are made of.

Male humans reading SCP-142 on sentences 3, 4, or female humans reading SCP-142 on the sentence 8 will cause an anomalous effect to manifest. Several of males' body parts will be instantly replaced with organs of eels, gastropods and tails of canines under an unknown process (note that these organs are not animate nor ever decomposed). In females' case, body parts will be replaced with solid sugar and red spices (subjects turned will be referred to as SCP-142-1 instances). It is also noticed that SCP-142 will activate the effect even when it is viewed from a picture, camera or a video.

People undergoing the process will be turned fragile to moderate force, and may disassemble themselves. SCP-142-1 retain their intelligence and feelings and body systems, and will animate like normal humanoids. Althrough when questioned subjects claimed to feel "a little cramped"

It appears that SCP-142's effects are related to the specific sentences in the poem, which describes of how the people of the two genders are "made." Research are currently ongoing to trace the origin of SCP-142.
