Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Parauniversal
Containment Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-A are to be contained together in an appropriately sized containment cell. Appropriate measures are to be put in place to monitor the activity of SCP-XXXX, and to stop it if need be.
SCP-XXXX-A has actively requested not to be provided sustenance or furniture, so none is to be provided.
Description: SCP-XXXX refers to three separate machines that allow for the automatic production of food. Engravings in the machines and testimony from SCP-XXXX-A indicate that SCP-XXXX was constructed by "Dr. Michael Birch," an American businessman and inventor who has been reported to be deceased since March 2011.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a ring-shaped construct mounted on a rectangular pedestal. For technical reports on SCP-XXXX-1’s internal partse, please refer to Document XXXX-RECON. At invariable times, SCP-XXXX-1 will spontaneously manifest the cadaver of an organism at its center. These organisms resemble non-anomalous animals, but made entirely out of a specific food item.
SCP-XXXX-2 is a machine dedicated to preparing the cadavers produced by SCP-XXXX-1 for consumption. The primary components of SCP-XXXX-2 are a crane-like appendage to retrieve cadavers from SCP-XXXX-1, and a large metal oven containing automated tools such as knives, peelers, and incinerators. Once prepared by SCP-XXXX-2, these cadavers have been determined to be safe for human consumption and reported to taste pleasant.
SCP-XXXX-3 is a power source connected to both SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2. Limited analysis of SCP-XXXX-3 has revealed it to resemble early Foundation prototypes for air-based nuclear fission reactors. SCP-XXXX-A has implied that SCP-XXXX-3 would fail without proper maintenance for 10 years at maximum. SCP-XXXX-3 is not entirely necessary to the function of the remainder of SCP-XXXX, as it can be powered with conventional electricity; however, SCP-XXXX-A has said that it would require several terawatts worth of energy to power SCP-XXXX-1 alone.
SCP-XXXX-A is a humanoid entity made entirely out of corn. Despite not having internal organs or vocal cords, SCP-XXXX-A is capable of locomotion, perception, and speaking. SCP-XXXX-A claims to be "Dr. Cornelius," the dedicated maintainer of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-A has displayed enhanced mechanical acumen, and has been able to explain the internal components of SCP-XXXX with great accuracy. SCP-XXXX-A displays anxiety when removed from the presence of SCP-XXXX for extended periods of time. Aside from this, SCP-XXXX-A generally displays a calm demeanor.
Additional Notes: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-A were discovered in a disused basement underneath an Applebees brand restaurant following reports of strange noises from underneath the establishment. The following document was found alongside the other items:
To Applebees,
This truly is the food of the future! With this prototype AutoCooker v1, you will be able to feed your entire restaurant without even needing a single chef. Please call me if there are any issues with the device, which I believe to be nonexistent at this point.
- Dr. Michael Birch, Birch Labs
