>Item-#: SCP-2666 “Alien Affection”

>Object Class: E̶u̶c̶l̶i̶d̶  Safe (Pending neutralization via naturalization see notes) 

>Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2666 is to be housed in a standard living cell with an attached bathroom furnished to it’s request within reason. Clothing may also be requested. Any questionable accommodation requests made by SCP-2666 are to go to site-07 managment for review. SCP-2666 is to be fed a standard omnivore meal three (3) times daily and may request snacks between meals so long as snack intake is no greater than 1000 calories daily. (Staff are reminded that sneaking SCP-2666 additional food items will result in reprimand.) SCP-2666 is allowed to roam site-07 freely and access Level 2 and lowers areas with a curfew of 2200 hours. Site staff may interact with SCP-2666 casually, but contact with other SCPs is forbidden without Level 4 approval. These privileges may be revoked if SCP-2666 misbehaves. Staff working on projects and functions that require constant focus are advised to avoid contact with SCP-2666 so that they do not become subject to it’s anomalous and distracting abilities.  

>Description: SCP-2666 is a tall, bipedal ape-like creature of extra-dimensional origin and is a male of it’s species. The subject’s birth name does not translate correctly to Equestrian, with “Anonymous” being the closest approximation. The front limbs terminate in dexterous hands with five (5) digits on each; four (4) fingers and one (1) opposable thumb. This gives the subject a powerful grip and the ability to manipulate objects with precision on par with an expert unicorn. It’s bodily make-up is carbon based similar to Equestrian life, but with a lack of thaumaturgy incorporated in it’s system (See Addendum for details). It stands at approximately 180 cm tall, about twice the height of the average mare. The subject’s weight has varied with it’s calorie intake similar to Equestrian creatures. SCP-2666 speaks rough but understandable Equestrian and a currently untranslated native language. SCP-2666 was able to teach itself Equestrian when provided with materials to do so, but it’s overall intelligence is currently unknown due to purposeful dodging and undermining of tests. The ability to recognize the tests, even while they were disguised, suggests intelligence higher than the average pony, however.

>SCP-2666 was collected by the Foundation on ██/██/████ after a report of a spatial anomaly in ████████ that emitted no magic radiation. SCP-2666 was found unconscious at the site by undercover agents ████ ████████████ and ██████, but the anomaly was gone, assumed to be closed. The area is being monitored for possible re-opening of the anomaly. The SCP was brought into Foundation care without witnesses and a cover story was fabricated to explain the anomaly.  

>Although not indestructible, SCP-2666 has displayed a surprising resistance to damage and mental influence as evidenced by Incident-2666-1 (See for details), but it heals at a rate equivalent to a pony if left unaided. It’s lack of bodily thaumaturgy is theorized to assist in this. It’s bodily strength and movement speed is notably higher than expected of a creature of it’s proportions, but not to a supernatural degree. SCP-2666’s docile and affectionate temperament has kept containment requirements to a minimum, but it’s anomalous abilities leave room for abuse. SCP-2666 has been warned that abusing it’s powers will result in punishment and harsher containment.

>SCP-2666 possesses anomalous powers that are still undergoing research and testing. The primary power is a general soothing effect on ponies transmitted via physical contact, intaking SCP-2666’s scent, and listening to SCP-2666’s voice. The more sources applied, the more affected subjects become. The effects linger for the next 24 hours after the first exposure. Test subjects report feelings of comfort and contentment at SCP-2666 touch and presence, resulting in a relaxed bodily state and clearer, if lethargic thought processing. SCP-2666 can accelerate the effect with purposeful petting, quiet and comforting speech, and not washing off it’s natural scent. Ponies with minor illnesses and injuries we noted to recover at an increased rate after contact. Testing is ongoing for a passive healing effect. SCP-2666 likewise expresses satisfaction in cuddling with any pony who will allow the contact and actively seeks out contact. It should be noted that ponies in an induced relaxed state are more prone to sexual arousal. The SCP is aware of this and has initiated sexual contact with █ female staff resulting in [REDACTED]. Management reprimand of staff and SCP withheld due to high morale and work efficiency in site-07 after SCP-2666 acquisition. Staff are reminded that visits of work-inappropriate nature to SCP-2666 are to be done off of work hours. Any staff reporting illness after sexual contact with SCP-2666 are to report to the infirmary immediately, and if female staff are determined to be [REDACTED] then they are to be put on administrative leave and monitored closely. 

>Addendum: After extensive scans, it was determined that SCP-2666’s nervous system uses pulses of electricity rather than streams of mana to carry commands to the body. How this is possible is still be researched, but the SCP insists that such a system is normal in it’s home. When asked how, it is unable to provide an answer.   
      
>Incident-2666-1:On ██/██/████ SCP-1298 breached containment due to a door lock fault and began a rampage through site-07, injuring █ personnel. SCP-1298 encountered SCP-2666 in the hallway just outside it’s chamber. SCP-2666 lashed out in fright with a leg to SCP-1298’s primary head, dazing it. When SCP-1298 returned the attack with one of it’s sickle claws, targeting Researcher ██████, SCP-2666 pushed her out of the way and took the attack with only a shallow gash where a pony would have been disemboweled. SCP-2666 then proceeded to curse and beat SCP-1298 into submission with it’s fists despite SCP-1298’s struggles and cognitohazardous cries, which erode lower brain function and swiftly cause paralysis followed by death via multiple organ failure. Staff equipped with sound-deadening ear muffs moved in and secured SCP-1298 while SCP-2666 was taken away and interviewed. SCP-2666 was shaken, but suffered no long term ill effects from the encounter while SCP-1298 has been unresponsive ever since. Researcher ██████ was treated for exposure to SCP-1298 and is expected to make a full recovery.

>Note-1: Object class downgraded from Euclid to Safe following continued good behavior and confirmation that SCP-2666’s powers do not allow it control over a pony. Downgrade to neutralized pending O5 approval to naturalize SCP-2666 as an Equestrian citizen and reclassify to a POI.
