The bucket used to contain SCP-XXXX-1. Image was taken after [PLACEHOLDER DATE]

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures: The remains of SCP-XXXX are kept in a set of sealed culture tubes within Site-30's eastern storage wing.

The bucket formerly containing SCP-XXXX has been found to be non-anomalous and is currently stored in low-risk object locker A-1221-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XX is an anomalous population of microorganisms in a sophisticated macromolecular network which confers traits analogous to sapient intelligence.

SCP-XXXX is an extinct species of sapient microorganisms composed primarily of silicone, ammonia, and water. SCP-XXXX formerly inhabited a standard Rubbermaid plastic mop bucket (SCP-XXXX-1) wherein it developed civilization and technology comparable to contemporary humankind within the span of eight days.

Cambrien Worth1, a janitor employed in the Site-17 custodial department, used SCP-XXXX-1 on a daily basis in the course of his job leading up to and during the manifestation of SCP-XXXX. Numerous artifacts and monuments depicting Mr. Worth have been found in what remains of SCP-XXXX society; examples extend as far back as the earliest stages of cultural development.

The precise set of conditions which led to the creation of SCP-XXXX are currently unknown. Per researcher consensus, the origin of the phenomenon is likely correlated with the improper sanitation of SCP-XXXX-1 in conjunction with its long term and close range exposure to anomalous subjects in the containment facility where it was used.

Following [PLACEHOLDER DATE] SCP-XXXX is considered Neutralized.

NOTES

I kinda wanted to emulate that Twilight Zone episode in which a small civilization is formed and they revere a human as a God because they dont know any better.
I mostly wanted to get across the futility of holy wars under a thin veneer of comedy.
