Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The land surrounding SCP-XXXX is to be purchased and fenced off. All products created by SCP-XXXX are to be gathered and sent to Site-102 for examination.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Betula nigra1 that, at random, will produce unnaturally smooth bark of varying sizes and shapes, with uniform holes in it at various points. The pattern of these holes can be translated using the Braille writing system. As well as this, SCP-XXXX is noted to have an abnormal growth and regeneration rate, allowing for the dropping of mass amounts of bark and leaves.
Underground scans performed on SCP-XXXX has revealed the corpse of Leroy Cantu, a missing person case from 2014, entangled in the roots. Attempts to exhume the body have been halted following the tree dropping multiple branches.

Notes: Agent Helios, a foundation linguistics expert with a specialty in Braille was brought to SCP-XXXX to attempt to attempt communication.
Agent Helios approaches SCP-XXXX and says hello. Several branches filled leaves fall from the tree, followed by .3 kg of unmarked bark. After a minute a bark piece falls onto Agent Helios head.
I am so sorry I
I can not hear you
Several more leaf clusters fall, Agent Helios walks away. Continued monitoring of SCP-XXXX reveals twenty new growth branches having fallen off of it.

Date: 4/24/2020
Notes: Agent Helios suggestion for the usage of written signs for communication was approved after a month. When shown the hello sign SCP-XXXX did not respond, it did not reattempt conversation.
Addendum.XXXX.2:
Following a month of silence from SCP-XXXX the onsite collector noted holes forming near the roots. An investigation was launched and several roots were uncovered. SCP-XXXX dropped several piece of bark saying "stop" before dropping a branch near a researcher. Extra branches were restrained and three roots were fully exposed. Agents noted they had to cut through approximately a centimeter of mycelia growth. SCP-XXXX was noted to have dropped 1 kilo of blank bark during this point.
The following was found written:

The following was dropped from SCP-XXXX following a reburial of the root systems:

Notes: All further roots recovered contained an untranslatable script, various researchers at Site-43 have noted the similarities between the symbols and stars.
Addendum-XXXX.3
A week after Addendum.XXXX.2 an underground scan was preformed, revealing an enlarged root system encasing two embraced individuals. Further communication attempts are awaiting approval.
