Special Containment Procedures



SCP-162 is to be continuously contained within a hermetically sealed steel enclosure. Any interaction with SCP-162 must be conducted using thick steel-plate gloves and full-body heavy armor. Personnel attempting contact with SCP-162 without appropriate protection or displaying erratic or unresponsive behavior are to be promptly evacuated from the containment area. All personnel must undergo a two-week mental evaluation and assessment following any interaction with SCP-162.


Description

SCP-162 consists of a conglomeration of fish hooks, fish line, needles, scissors, and assorted sharp objects amalgamated into a roughly spherical shape measuring approximately 2.4 meters (8 feet) in width and 2.1 meters (7 feet) in height. Subjects within SCP-162's vicinity have reported a strong compulsion to approach and touch the object, with this desire often persisting for several weeks following initial exposure, escalating to obsession in many instances. The allure intensifies with prolonged observation, and subjects may resort to violence when prevented from interacting with or being removed from SCP-162.


Direct contact with SCP-162 immediately results in the embedding of multiple hooks into the subject's skin, inflicting intense pain, surpassing that of regular fish hooks. Struggling or attempting to break free exacerbates the entanglement, potentially leading to the subject's complete immobilization on SCP-162's surface. Profuse bleeding occurs, ultimately culminating in death after an extended period. Subjects with skin impervious to SCP-162's fish hooks, exemplified by SCP-1063, have demonstrated immunity to SCP-162's compulsion effects.


Efforts to extract a subject from SCP-162 yield one of two outcomes: the entrapment of the rescuer or severe bodily harm to the subject's flesh. Subjects often oscillate between intense distress and pleas for assistance, and moments of apparent pleasure, beseeching to be left alone, and even attempting to ensnare personnel attempting a rescue. Activation of SCP-1114 in proximity to SCP-162 has proven to be an effective method for liberating a subject from entanglement, though SCP-162's compulsion effect persists.
