SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES
Instances of SCP-XXXX are to be housed in a bio-containment chamber within Area-34, modified to emulate their natural environment. Interviews are to be conducted biweekly to assess psychological health and ensure cooperation with Foundation objectives.
All instances of SCP-XXXX are to be considered active members of Armed Mobile Task Force Iota-27 ("Big Sticks"), under the oversight of Dr. Vivian Shing. Requests for detonation opportunities outside Iota-27 deployments are to be approved by Dr. Shing.
DESCRIPTION
SCP-XXXX
SCP-XXXX-B recovering from an detonation.
SCP-XXXX refers to a genetically and thaumaturgically modified subspecies of the common pill-bug (Armadillidium vulgare promethei). SCP-XXXX is fully sentient, communicates telepathically, and demonstrates intelligence comparable to the average human.
SCP-XXXX instances are capable of self-detonating, with the resulting explosion having a force of approximately 500kg of TNT. Despite total disintegration, the instance will rematerialize 5-10 seconds after the detonation and suffer no lasting damage. SCP-XXXX instances are capable of detonating on their own, but have shown a strong social preference for doing it in groups of three, citing the experience as "more satisfying."
SCP-XXXX was created by GoI-14 ("Prometheus Labs, Inc.") shortly before their dissolution in 1998. SCP-XXXX was lost during the liquidation of Prometheus Labs assets, but were re-discovered in 2025.
ADDENDUM.XXXX.1
RECOVERY
A series of explosions were reported in the Shijō district of Kyoto, Japan. Surveillance footage recorded small spherical objects rolling toward abandoned buildings second before each detonation. After a quick investigation, field agents recovered three SCP-XXXX instances.

Dr. Hayk: Do the three of you have names?
SCP-XXXX-A: Damn right we do. Boom…
SCP-XXXX-B: …Boomy…
SCP-XXXX-C: …and Boomer!
Dr. Hayk: …Alright. How long have you three been in Kyoto?
SCP-XXXX-A: Oh yeah, since, uh — when was the ramen place?
SCP-XXXX-B: Two months ago? We stayed under a ramen shop because it smelled nice. It also had a really cool echo when we went off.
Dr. Hayk: "Went off"?
SCP-XXXX-C: Yaknow, boom. [pause] It's sorta what we do.
Dr. Hayk: About that, actually. Why did you detonate those buildings?
SCP-XXXX-B: We didn't want to blow up buildings. We just needed to blow up something.
SCP-XXXX-A: It's biological! You try sitting around trying to hold in your pee!
Dr. Hayk: You're aware that your explosions cause property damage?
SCP-XXXX-C: Yeah, but like… have you seen those explosions? Beautiful. Blinding. Awesome.
Dr. Hayk: …I see. We'll end the interview here.
SCP-XXXX-A: Wait, doc?
Dr. Hayk: Yes?
SCP-XXXX-A: Can we blow this room up?

ADDENDUM.XXXX.2
WEAPONIZATION
Following initial containment and evaluation, the Department of Anomalous Weapons Development flagged SCP-XXXX for potential tactical applications. Preliminary design indicated that SCP-XXXX could be successfully applied for use within Armed Mobile Task Forces for controlled demolitions, ordinance disposal, and limited anti-armor operations. Dr. Vivian Shing was assigned as SCP-XXXX's lead researcher and Project Head for its weaponization.

SCP-XXXX-A: Doc, you're back! So about blowing up this room…
Dr. Akabi Hayk: No. But, you might have some opportunities to blow up other things. Viv here has some news to share with you.
Dr. Vivian Shing: Hey, you three. Wow, you guys are cute. How would you feel about being… Hmm, trying to think how to word this right… official Foundation contractors?
SCP-XXXX-A: Official? Like, with badges?
SCP-XXXX-B: Do we get stickers?
Dr. Shing: Better than stickers. We give you regulated detonation time, supervised enrichment, and — if everything goes well — limited field work.
SCP-XXXX-A: Oooh. Field work… Like a field trip?
SCP-XXXX-C: Do we get a vehicle?
SCP-XXXX-B: Can we blow up the vehicle?
Dr. Shing: No blowing of personnel transport. But you will get targets. Old facilities, hostile targets, stuff we need gone.
SCP-XXXX-C: So we get to blow stuff up? [pause] Pinky promise?
Dr. Shing: Emm, yeah. Pinky promise!
SCP-XXXX-A: You got yourself a deal, Boss Boom!
Dr. Shing: Boss Boom?
Dr. Hayk: We'll have to have regular psych evals with the three of you to make sure you're up to the task. AWD will draft out the weaponization procedures for you. Hopefully we'll have you ready for field tests within the month. For the record, do you understand what AWD intends to do with you?
SCP-XXXX-B: Demolitions. Entertainment! Blowing stuff up! This is gonna be awesome!
[SCP-XXXX-A, -B, and -C begin rolling around in synchronized circles.]

ADDENDUM.XXXX.3
FIELD TESTING
On 10/19/2025, Mobile Task Force Iota-27 ("Big Sticks") located and raided a GoI-003 ("Chaos Insurgency") warehouse in Managua, Nicaragua. The raid was a success, with GoI operations being shut down and anomalous objects brought into containment. Several nonimportant objects from the raid were marked for decommissioning.
