It must be monitored at all times by MTF Zeta-9 personnel equipped with military-grade TASER Rifles and thermal vision visors. 8152 requires no food intake for survival, therefore, its containment door should not be opened for any reason due to risk of escape. Personnel must be stationed in, and outside 8152's containment cell, minimizing the possibility for an escape. In the event that SCP-8152 must be transferred, it must be put in a large, double-layered lockbox with working electrical cables surrounding the inner layer, preventing escape from the box. At the minimum, 4 (four) MTF Zeta-9 personnel equipped with military-grade TASER rifles must surround the carrier(s) of the lockbox. If Zeta-9 or other SCP personnel should experience dizziness or nausea, they should remove themselves from 8152's containment cell. Seasickness medication should shortly ease the symptoms.
Description: SCP-8152 is a humanoid anomaly made up entirely of a transparent black smoke or mist, measuring in with a height of 6 feet, 2 inches. It is completely black aside from its two red eyes located on its face. 8152 retains no means of communication of speech or emotion. 8152 demonstrates many attributes found among phantoms. It can travel through solid objects and lower the saturation of its body to become nearly invisible.
8152 emits a body temperature of -2 degrees fahrenheight (-18 C), making this anomaly easy to see using thermal vision lenses. 8152 cannot, however, move while under an electric shock alike that of a taser, this makes it easier to contain1.
Through D-Class testing, out researchers determine that 8152 engages upon victims by moving into them. 8152 fills its prey's lungs with its toxic smoke, immobilizing the victim and putting them in a stage of shock and agonizing pain. After immobilized, victims will experience an effect called SCP-8152-1 "The Devil's Chorus"2. The Devil's Chorus is a mental phenomenon in which the subject hears and audibly increasing, high-pitched chorus. The volume of this "chorus" increases until the victim is shortly driven to madness3. By now, the toxic gases in the victim's lungs causes poisoning and leads to a short yet painful death.
Victims of SCP-8152's engagement should attempt to breath hard to allow the toxic gas to escape their lungs. In the event of an encounter with 8152, personnel should attempt to hasten themselves away at a jogging pace. SCP-8152 is incapable of walking at speeds faster than roughly 3 miles per hour (1.3 m/s).
Discovery: SCP-8152 was first apprehended in an abandoned hospital from World War II in Wisconsin in 2023 after reports of spirits or demons inside were made by townspeople in a nearby city. SCP-8152 seems to have existed since the 2nd (second) century as seen in Roman and Aztec drawings containing a black, humanoid demon with two (2) red eyes. Three (3) more subjects have been since captured from the Amazons4, and in a Jamaican storm shelter5. The origins of SCP-8152 is still obscure. Local and urban legends from the discovery points suggest they belong to the returned spirits of devil- worshippers or satanists. The presented interaction between SCP origins Researcher Dr. Bane and Bio-Researcher Dr. Evans explains the likely origins of this anomaly.
Dr. Evans: So tell me Bane, exactly what you think this anomaly is.
Dr. Bane: Well, urban legend from the Wisconsin town suggests 8152 might be a soul of a devil-worshipper.
Dr. Evans: Well that's simply ridiculous.
Dr. Bane: What makes you say that Evans? I suppose a Bio-Researcher such as yourself could easily determine the origins of a bodiless being.
Dr. Evans: You're not wrong, lad. SCP-8152 appears to contain no internal organs or bodily structures. Despite these factors, as a Keter Bio- Researcher, I am required to inspect all entries, even if they show no signs of life at all.
Dr. Bane: Is that so?
Dr Evans: Right now, my main concern is figuring out what that…thing's toxic gas is made up of.
Dr. Bane: Do you have any suspicions of its possible makeup?
Dr. Evans: Through recent D-Class testing, I can determine that its gases have a similar effect to that of Carbon Monoxide. But clearly, its mixed with something else giving it that black color and terrible odor.
Dr. Bane: Okay, but let's get back on topic…Origins?
Dr: Evans: I'm just a Bio-Researcher, what would I know.
Dr. Bane: Right…Well, I've reviewed cave drawings, Aztec manuscripts and pictures and I found an image resembling 8152. This is it. (holds up image of Aztec drawing) I also found a mention of a black demon with red eyes in Roman and Greek manuscripts, written around the time of The Illiad.
Dr. Evans: Do you believe it could be the returned spirit of a devil-worshipper like the legends suggest?
Dr. Bane: Evans…four cells down the hall is a Medieval Plague Doctor, and around the corner is a carnivorous train. Anything could be possible.
Dr. Evans: Right…right. Makes sense.
Dr. Bane: I'm more focused on keeping whatever that thing is as far away as possible from any human civilization.
Dr. Evans: Okay. I guess this concludes our meeting.
Dr. Bane: Yes. I'll see you next week after further D-Class testing.
