Item#: SCP-091
Special containment procedures: Item SCP-091 is stored in a modified subterranean arboretum.

Containment zone is to remain lighted at all times. Four hydrargyrum medium-arc iodide lamps are to be active from 00:00 GMT until 16:00, at which point they are to be deactivated in sequence as the corresponding eight sodium vapor lamps are activated until 00:00 GMT. Lights must be replaced at the approximate time of bulb half-life, and only during the artificial nocturnal cycle.

Soil levels are to be kept at approximately one meter depth and Ph levels are to be monitored daily for any irregularities. Provided compost is to be placed in the containment zone at the beginning of each lunar month. Compost is to be inspected before and after delivery by two senior ranking science officers to ensure safety procedures have been followed and to prevent any further containment issues caused by tampering. Provided compost is to be placed no closer than three meters from Item SCP-091. Under no circumstances should Item SCP-091 be touched. In such event, emergency defoliant protocols are to be followed and attending staff and all personal effects are to be immolated.

Containment area is lined with 15mm of lead. There is to be around the clock external monitoring for any breach of containment. In event of breach, emergency defoliant protocols are to be followed.

All male staff are to undergo weekly medical inspections. In the event of compromise, level four quarantine procedures are to be initiated. Compromised staff and all personal effects must be destroyed by complete immolation. Male staff are forbidden from entering the containment zone and are to be rotated on a quarterly basis, remaining in quarantine two weeks before and after assignment.

Better pics, please and from other angles, too. I've never fapped to a tree before and I want the first time to be special.

Next time you do one of these, make up a consequence like the one with the paper mache robot thingy; you know, how it would quickly run up and snap someone's neck if nobody was watching it.

The consequence is right in there, dumbass. It's not the OP's fault that you're too stupid to understand 'big' words like defoliant and immolation and what that, in turn, implies.

Not too bad. But you should have a description of the object.

OP here. Criticism is always welcome. Thanks.

No, dumbass, defoliant protocols, personal effects immolated, that's what they would do prevent a consequence, it doesn't depict any direct consequence, it just says "BAD TO TOUCH".

He's asking for what the creature's danger is, not the human-made consequence of interacting with it.
But sometimes leaving it up to imagination is fine too.

Reading comprehension: Get some!
You touch the tree or get too close, plant stuff starts to grow out of you! Leaves, branches, whatever!
Judging by the rules regarding men, too, the tree seduces them or whatever.

lol internet tough guy. Grow up.

But I think what he's getting at is that the tree has some sort of viral property, like it plants a seed in you if you touch it or something. And maybe it turns you into another of whatever it is.

Makes sense, but the confirmation would be a lot more bri/x/ shitting than the threat of malevolent action.

That is by far the coolest tree I have ever seen.

And thus we receive proof of why, nowadays, nobody can analyze texts and nothing is scary.

Reading comprehension, or at least higher-level comprehension, is the processing of knowledge presented and the drawing of conclusions not directly stated but implied in the text; for example, in Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher, it is widely agreed by those who examine the tale with an abstract manner that the two Usher siblings are actually depictions of Poe's struggle between his artistic side and his socially-accepted one. There is NO concrete support for this in the text as far as Poe saying "Oh and by the way the siblings are a representation of my inner turmoil", but there's little to no doubt that the story is actually about that.

Humans have an innate fear of the unknown, furthermore- hey! The entirety of /x/ is proof of this- and by EXPLICITLY STATING what something does, by god that just doesn't effectively prey on innate fear. There's only so much one person's imagination can do, while leaving certain aspects up to the reader/viewer always provokes more lasting horror and fear.

Still haven't quite decided. Rather than adding to the original I may do an sub-document detailing symptoms so the original isn't tl;dr

Also, thanks for the critiques.

Everyone understands that the threat is implied. What the critics are saying is that it isn't implying enough to really get your imagination turning.

This Ones alright..I agree it need a more specific outline of the dangers involved with contact of the tree, I mean, if this is a lab/safety report on the tree, wouldn't they include all Sorts of details (I.e. Average growth per year, potentially useful enzymes gathered from its trunk, Worker reports of tree behaviours from the past)

But my personal belief is that there needs to be some random creepy non-life threatening objects...Like a computer floppy disk that is always producing heat (around the temperature of 97.2 F)
Or a pen that allows you to write in perfect German. Simple, sweet and random, Cus' where ever they keep these things, they're bound to have smaller stuff...Right?

Dunno Sauce.

Long ago I posted a few of these. Requires more references to past incidents and more on how the tree is tended.

I saw a pic of a tree shaped like a female body somewhere. Wish i had saved it now.
