SCP-B0RK - Puckering Yellow

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-B0RK is currently contained within a standard refrigeration unit at [REDACTED] under constant surveillance. Any personnel wishing to interact with SCP-B0RK must first obtain permission from Lead Researcher [REDACTED] and be equipped with adequate protective gear.In case of unauthorized access, MTF Omega-6 ("Shampoo Bottle Soldiers") are to be deployed immediately.

Personnel should refrain from any physical contact with SCP-B0RK unless absolutely necessary; direct skin contact with SCP-B0RK can result in severe irritation and discomfort, potentially requiring medical attention.Exposure to SCP-B0RK must not exceed 15 minutes at a time. In extreme cases, subjects may experience uncontrollable muscular contractions and spasms lasting up to several hours.

As SCP-B0RK possesses no known anomalous properties beyond direct contact, research efforts have thus far focused on understanding its genesis and potential applications. No further testing is required beyond basic examination procedures.

Description: SCP-B0RK appears to be an ordinary yellow fruit measuring approximately 5 cm in diameter and weighing around 100 grams. Its surface is slightly textured and covered in fine hairs.

SCP-B0RK was discovered after one Doctor Bowser accidentally came into contact with it while exploring his place of residence's kitchen cabinetry. Upon consuming some of the pulp, Bowser immediately exhibited signs of distress and sought help from local Foundation operatives.

Upon examination by Medical personnel, Bowser reported feeling an intense burning sensation followed by a prolonged period of puckering in his mouth and throat; this sensation described as "like licking a 9-volt battery," but significantly more sour. Despite its appearance, SCP-B0RK possesses an anomalously high concentration of citric acid.

Dr. Bowser has since been reassigned to assist in containing and monitoring SCP-B0RK due to his unique perspective and experience with the object.

Interviewed: Dr. Bowser (K9)

Foreword: The following interview took place on █/██/████ during routine observation of SCP-B0RK. Researcher Xiang consulted with Dr. Bowser about their experiences with the object.

Researcher Xiang: Good morning, Dr. Bowser.Thank you for agreeing to speak with me today. Can you tell us how you initially discovered SCP-B0RK?

Dr. Bowser: Woof! Woof woof bork! BORK! Woof.

Researcher Xiang: And what happened when you came into contact with SCP-B0RK?

Dr. Bowser: Ruff ruff! Bork bork! *whine*

Researcher Xiang: I see. Can you describe the sensation any further?

Dr. Bowser: *sigh* Grrrrr. Rrrr bork. Gor bluuup roooor. Grrrrr. Rrrr bork. Gor bluuup roooor. Grrrrr. Rrrr bork. Gor bluuup roooor. Grrrrr. Rrrr bork. Gor bluuup roooor. *whimper*

Researcher Xiang: That sounds… painful. Have you come up with any ideas on how to better contain or study SCP-B0RK?

Dr. Bowser: Woof woof? Woooooof woof! Grrr bork rooooor. Growl. Woof. Rrrr bork. Woof woof rrrroo?

Researcher Xiang: I understand that you previously worked at Site-██ before transferring here. Do you miss your old colleagues?

Dr. Bowser: Grrrrr. *grumble* Woof. Woooofff woof. **Pant** Woof. **Yawn** Bork…

Researcher Xiang: Well, thank you again for your time and insights, Dr. Bowser. Good boy.

Dr. Bowser: *wagging tail* Bork bork! Bork bork!

Addendum: Due to the possibility of potential use in chemical warfare, Foundation personnel have begun researching methods of synthesizing the citric acid found within SCP-B0RK. To date, results have proven inconclusive.
