Phenotypical stalk and flower of SCP-1621

Background

SCP-1621 is an invasive, flowering mimic vine similar to Rhizophora, Tetracoccus, Rafflesia, Viola, and Passiflora. While no specimen of SCP-1621 has ever exhibited sentience or sapience of any sort, all specimens mimicked, albeit imperfectly, locally indigenous species, which originally led to sub-classifications of SCP-1621. Note, however, that only one genotype of SCP-1621 has been identified- all variants are merely adaptive camouflage.

General Information

Name: SCP-1621

Other Names: A Useful Plant

Origin: SCP Foundation

First Appearance: SCP-1621 File log

Company: SCP Foundation

Sex: Monoecious (The vast majority of plants are both male and female at the same time)

Sexuality: Asexual (Most plants reproduce asexually)

Pronouns: It

Age: Unknown

Homeworld: Earth

Residence: Bio-Containment Area-09

Story Role: SCP

Classification: Keter Class

Species: Invasive, Flowering Mimic Vine (Similar to Rhizophora, Tetracoccus, Rafflesia, Viola and Passiflora)

State of Being: Regular

Physiology: Plant Physiology

In-Universe Creator: Unknown

Occupation: None

Containment Status: Contained (Exactly one colony of SCP-1621 is to kept intact within Bio-Containment Area-09)

Affiliations: SCP-1621 Colony

Enemies: Other Plant Life (In all but most arid climates, SCP-1621 wipes out all other plant life around the colony)

Height: Unknown

Weight: Unknown

Status: Alive

Alignment: Unaligned (Plants do not have a sapient enough mind to make decisions based on moral choice)

Threat Level: Street Threat (The flowers, roots and vines of SCP-1621 utilize chlorine trifluoride in place of sap or nectar, the sweet scent of Cl2F6 attracts insects and animals, which at 800 ppm is lethal within fifteen minutes and incapacitating far sooner)

Powers and Techniques

Mimicry (Physiology Mimicr; SCP-1621 is an invasive, flowering mimic vine similar to Rhizophora, Tetracoccus, Rafflesia, Viola and Passiflora. The root structures of SCP-1621 are approximately doubled in area as those it mimics), Body Control (If provided with nutrients from carrion, it will also extrude vines in all directions at a visibly observable pace that continues until the carrion dissolved and the nutrient supply exhausted), Gas Manipulation (SCP-1621 utilize chlorine trifluoride, which at 800 ppm is lethal within fifteen minutes, incapacitating far sooner), Corrosion Manipulation & Poison Manipulation (SCP-1621 sap and nectar are corrosive, toxic, and hypergolic on contact with most combustible materials without a spark or ignition source. Stationary objects are enveloped, slowing during vertical movement, but typically one or more instances of a Cl2F6 reaction have reduced stationary objects to rubble, scrap or ash. SCP-1621 wipes out all other plant life around the colony by way of corrosion, and through Cl2F6 reactions triggered by rainfall).
Resistance to Radiation Manipulation & Heat Maniulation (SCP-1621 has proven resistant to indirect force, radioactivity and heat)

Equipment

Nothing notable.

Other

Standard Tactics: Provided with enough carrion, SCP-1621 expands at a rate of ██m/h. Stationary objects are enveloped, slowing during vertical movement, but typically one or more instances of a Cl2F6 reaction have reduced stationary objects to rubble, scrap, or ash. Once a vine can do so without overlapping with the host stalk, it penetrates the soil and begins to sprout, creating a new stalk and expanding the colony. In all but the most arid climates, SCP-1621 wipes out all other plant life around the colony by way of corrosion, and through Cl2F6 reactions triggered by rainfall.

Weaknesses: Disposal can be safely managed by exposing equal parts sap/nectar with kerosene and collecting the resultant vapors for distillation into component elements.
