SCP #: SCP-8987, mechanical justice
Containment Class: Euclid
Disruption Class: Vlam
Risk Class: Caution
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8987 is not to be introduced to any D-class that are charged with: Murder, manslaughter, rape, assault, or any other form of defilement of a person or entity. Upon discovering a creature that has “defiled life”, SCP-8987 will proceed to use escalating levels of force and firepower to terminate and eradicate all physical traces of the entity. This is suspected to include the following: punching, kicking, use of small arms fire, high caliber rifles, anti-tank weaponry, nuclear weapons, lasers, various explosives, breaching charges and chemical weapons. It is suspected that SCP-8987 will continue to use its endless arsenal to attack and terminate its targets. SCP-8987 is to be kept within a 8 by 8 by 8 foot reinforced concrete cell with walls at least 6 foot thick and a double-layered blast door for entry and exit.
Description: SCP-8987 appears to be a mechanical humanoid, with eyes that are green until a “target” is designated for termination, at which point they will turn red, capable of producing an infinite quantity of munitions, weapons and armor. SCP-8987 is completely passive and inactive until movement is present within its containment cell, at which point it will stand up from a box-like configuration, and will begin to list any crimes linked to the face of whatever entity has entered its containment cell, along with the creatures legal name/s, preferred names, occupation, and/or any relevant designations assigned by the SCP foundation. If, among any of the things listed, there are cases that could be interpreted as “defilement of life”, SCP-8987 will proceed with “termination protocols”. See addendum 8987.1

D-111: What is this shit?
SCP-8987: Last words recorded. Goodbye, Defiler.
SCP-8987 fires the revolver at D-111’s head, shoulders, hips and heart in rapid succession.
SCP-8987: Removing Evidence.
SCP-8987 fabricates an XL18 Flamethrower, and begins incinerating the body of D-111. Once D-111 is reduced entirely to ash, SCP-8987 produces an unknown acid from its palm, dissolving the remains of D-111 as well as 2 feet of reinforced concrete. SCP-8987 then returns to the center of its cell, and resumes a box-like shape, both weapons fading from existence.

Dr. Andria: What? I’m just investigating the hole you made. And besides, it’s not like I know what they wanted to use it for.
SCP-8987: Last words recorded. Goodbye, Defiler.
SCP-8987 fires one round at Dr. Andria’s head (missed shot), heart, left and right lungs, and stomach.
SCP-8987: Life signs fading. Clearing Evidence.
SCP-8987 fabricates what looks very similar to a molotov cocktail, while the revolver seems to be sucked into its palm. Dr. Andria looks delirious, her head flopping over to one side.

SCP-8987: Potential query detected: What is inside the explosive? Answer: High-grade napalm.
SCP-8987 ignites the molotov and throws it at Dr. Andria, incinerating Dr. Andria completely. SCP-8987, having not moved this time, returns to a box-like shape at the center of the room.
[END LOG]
Site Manager’s note: how did it know about those? There are no documents about Dr. Andria anywhere, because we completely wiped them when she was hired. I propose that we do not allow researchers into the cell anymore.
Response from 05 council: Proposition denied, be more careful about who is assigned to SCP-8987 research.
Addendum 8987.3
Testing log
Preface: D-112, charged with robbery, fraud, and grand theft auto on multiple occasions (notably without any crimes related to violence) is introduced to SCP-8987’s containment cell.
[BEGIN LOG]
SCP-8987 stands up from box state.
SCP-8987: Target locked: Name: Thomas Jonathan. Crimes: Theft, robbery, grand theft auto, and tax evasion. Occupation: D-class, Ex-chef. Preferred name: Tom. Defilement of life: not present. Engaging in Civilian Interaction Protocols. (transitions to a more natural voice rather than robotic) Hello Tom. What can I do for you?
D-112: What? I dunno, what can you do?
SCP-8987: I can: cook, play board games, play card games, play other forms of games, discuss topics, and protect you from life defilers.
D-112 is instructed to request for a meal of their choice.
D-112: I guess I could go for some scrambled eggs with orange juice?
SCP-8987 proceeds to fabricate a table, a chair, a stove, a frying pan, butter, a toaster, sliced white bread, a juicer, eggs, and oranges. Over the course of the next five (5) minutes, SCP-8987 cooks scrambled eggs on buttered toast with orange juice on the side, presenting it to D-112 along with a knife and a fork constructed with iron.
SCP-8987: There you go, scrambled eggs on toast with orange juice.
D-112 is instructed to thank SCP-8987 for the food, and then request another meal under the premise of having changed their mind, and then changing their mind back to having the scrambled eggs midway through the preparation of the new meal.
D-112: actually, i think i would prefer steak with apple cider, please.
SCP-8987: Certainly! Would you like me to take the scrambled eggs back, or leave them on the table?
D-112: You can just leave them on the table, thanks.
SCP-8987: Alright then.
SCP-8987 fabricates a metal barrel with a timer on the top, reading 5 minutes, a steak, a steak knife, and deconstructs and reconstructs the pan. As ordered, halfway through the preparation process, D-112 interrupts SCP-8987.
D-112: Actually, I think I'm fine with the scrambled eggs, sorry.
SCP-8987: Understood. Would you still like apple cider?
D-112: (visibly nervous) Yes please.
D-112 is instructed to leave the containment cell. There is a security force outside the door as it opens, and SCP-8987’s ‘head’ snaps to look at the group.
SCP-8987: (robotic) Targets locked: Names: John Smith, Joanna Brune, Trevor Palt. Crimes: John Smith: murder in self defense, aggravated assault. Joanna Brune: Murder in self defense, petty theft. Trevor Palt: manslaughter, racially motivated assault. Occupation: all: Foundation Security. Defilement of Life: present in: John Smith, Trevor Palt. Initiating Protocols. (natural voice) Joanna Brune, come here. 5. 4. 3.
Joanna moves towards SCP-8987, and the others begin to follow.
SCP-8987: (robotic) Eliminating.
SCP-8987 rapidly fabricates an M16 rifle and fires at John Smith and Trevor Palt.
image
SCP-8987: Defiler’s life signs fading. Destroying evidence.
SCP-8987 fabricates a China Lake grenade launcher and fired four rounds at the bodies of John Smith and Trevor Palt. Shrapnel from the blast was stopped by a mostly transparent hexagonal shield that flared up behind SCP-8987, protecting D-112 and Joanna Brune. The shrapnel left no damage on SCP-8987. SCP-8987 turned to D-112 and Joanna Brune, who was curled into the fetal position since the fabrication and firing of the China Lake grenade launcher.
image
SCP-8987: (natural voice) Hello, Joanna Brune. What can I do for you? I can cook, play games and protect you from defilers.
D-112: I think I'm gonna be sick…
Joanna Brune: (muttering) Too fast… Too fast…
SCP-8987: (robotic) Do you require medical assistance, Tom? Joanna?
Neither responds
SCP-8987: No response detected, potential mental trauma detected, applying amnestics…
SCP-8987 produces a purple gas that fills the room, knocking D-112 and Joanna Brune unconscious. SCP-8987 then moves them to outside the containment cell.
SCP-8987: I know you are watching. Please provide these two with medical attention. Neither will remember me, or any events that have occurred within the last twelve hours. Provided nobody enters the unit, I will repair the damages I have caused.
SCP-8987 then lays D-112 and Joanna Brune down on the floor, then returns to its cell and begins fabricating liquid reinforced concrete into the holes, and then deconstructs all things it fabricated, as though they were sucked into its palms, returning the room to a barren state. SCP-8987 then forces the blast doors closed, returns to the center of the room, and resumes cubic shape.
[END LOG]
Researchers Note: SCP-8987 is clearly stronger than we prepared for. Proposing that we increase the layers of protection?
Response from Site Director: Denied, the risk of SCP-8987 breaching containment and terminating a majority of staff is too high. Not to mention that it may simply kill the builders.
Addendum 8987.4
Discovery log
SCP-8987 was found while the foundation was looking for more D-class candidates on death row, where it was systematically terminating each inmate.
