Subject: Anomalous Flora Incident - Designation: SCP-[ID REDACTED]
Description: On [DATE REDACTED], an anomalous event occurred in a semi-wooded area near the Georgian-Russian border. Two Georgian military personnel on watch duty reported the presence of a sentient, mobile berry bush approximately 4 meters in size. The bush exhibited unusual behavior, moving purposefully towards the individuals despite gunfire and verbal warnings.
The anomaly continued its advance even after direct gunfire failed to deter it. It ceased movement upon reaching the military base perimeter, reverting to the appearance of a normal berry bush. Subsequent examination revealed no anomalous properties in its non-active state.
Efforts to eliminate the anomaly were undertaken by personnel on site, involving the application of motor oil and subsequent incineration. The anomaly was successfully neutralized, leaving only a standard berry bush residue.
It is imperative to monitor the affected area for potential recurrence of anomalous flora phenomena. The incident raises questions about the nature and origin of the anomaly, prompting further investigation by SCP personnel.
I like this level of detail
