Item #: SCP-077
Laconic Containment Procedures: The runes that appear on SCP-077 every 8 hours must be decoded and read aloud perfectly. Potatoes are not allowed on site.
Laconic Description: SCP-077 is a portion of a skull, upon which runes appear each month. If the runes are not decoded and read aloud every eight hours, the skull will expel a green gas that transforms any biological material into potato flesh that has been rotted by late blight.
Additional Context: Discovered in Ireland in 1848 and characterized as a protector, the reputation of SCP-077 deteriorated to fearful resentment by 1869. Repeated reading of runes may cause various side-effects, including a likelihood of potato allergy development.
Note that the Great Famine caused by the Irish Potato Blight occurred between 1845 and 1852.
