SCP-5741 | euclid | Item#: SCP-5741 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo SCP-5741 instances in containment. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5741 instances are to be kept in a sealed container in Secure Containment Locker #142 within Biological Research and Containment Site-95. Access is restricted to Level 2 Personnel, with the Project Lead's authorization, and all personnel should observe Class 1 biohazard protocol. Biweekly, personnel in Class 1 Hazmat gear are to open the container and record the number of SCP-5741 instances. Should this number reach a threshold set by the Project Lead, the appropriate number of SCP-5741 instances are to be removed and placed within a biohazard bag for incineration. Description: SCP-5741 are a collection of Peeps® brand marshmallow candies. While the outer layer of SCP-5741, consisting of sugar and gelatin, is identical to candies of the same brand, SCP-5741’s interior layer consists of flesh, muscle, and connective tissue. Anatomically, SCP-5741 is analogous to human anatomy, with all organ systems being present, and all organs are at a significantly smaller scale. However, SCP-5741 lacks any limbs, which causes instances to move in a ponderous and unpredictable manner. SCP-5741 instances have not shown any hostile behavior during Containment, and have been observed to flee from Research Personnel attempting to interact with them. SCP-5741 is capable of asexual reproduction via producing new tissue on its mediolateral side. Over a period of 3 hours, the new instance will form, with the body forming prior to the head. Once the instance is fully formed, it will separate from the old instance. Lastly, the instance will appear to convulse for a period of 5 seconds. After the 5 second period, the new instance's heartbeat is audible. New instances are produced at a rate of 5 per day. Addenda + Addendum 1: History - Access Granted, retrieving file... On 04/04/2021, a 911 call was received from a residence in Cincinnati, Ohio. The residents reported that the Peeps® candies they had just given their children appeared to have human viscera inside them, and that their daughter had partially consumed one of the candies. A Foundation agent embedded within the Cincinnati Police Department arrived on the scene and confiscated the candies, which were designated SCP-5741 and transported to Site-95. Witnesses were amnesticized and the call record was deleted. Replacement candies were provided. + Addendum 2: Experiment Logs - Access Granted, retrieving file... Experiments in this log were approved and overseen by: Dr. Cummins, SCP-5741 Project Lead. Experiment 1 Procedure: 5 SCP-5741 instances were placed onto a table. Junior Researcher Pagani was instructed to communicate with the SCP-5741 instances. Result: SCP-5741 instances did not communicate, and instead moved around irregularly. One instance fell off the table, resulting in the instance suffering several broken bones. Instance appeared to be in distress. Analysis: SCP-5741 can’t communicate, however they can feel pain and move, suggesting a degree of sentience. Experiment 2 Procedure: D-3284 was instructed to eat one of the SCP-5741 instances and record their taste. D-3284 was previously sentenced to death for participation in cannibalistic activities. Result: D-3284 was hesitant to eat the instance, stating that he did not feel comfortable doing so. When reminded that failure to cooperate would result in a release to his former sentence on death row, D-3284 complied and consumed one of the instances. D-3284 began to chew on the instance, and immediately regurgitated the half chewn instance, resulting in blood and viscera spreading across the table. D-3284 appeared in distress, and stated that the SCP-5741 instance “tasted like human flesh, but different, like it’s artificial”. D-3284 was escorted from the chamber, and the instance's remains were deposited in a biohazard bin and subsequently incinerated. Analysis: SCP-5741 is similar to human biology, and is inedible. Confirms the initial report. Experiment 3 Procedure: The damaged instance from Experiment 1 was monitored. After several days, it did not reproduce, and appeared in significant distress. The Ethics Committee Liaison for Site-95 approved the use of lethal injection to euthanize the instance, as keeping it alive would put it in further distress. The lethal injection was effective. A dissection was later performed by Dr. Lang and Dr. Travers, using microscopes to view the interior of the SCP-5741 instance. Result: All internal organs of the SCP-5741 instance were removed and weighed. Total weight was approximately 113 grams. Additionally, tissue samples were removed and studied. Analysis: Samples were consistent with baseline human samples. SCP-5741’s bone structure is similar to ours, with the chest, neck, and cranial regions being largely similar. However, the area where legs and arms would be on a human ended with round, bony protrusions. + Addendum 3: Incident Log - Access Granted, retrieving file... On 05/12/2021, Security Officer Rajiv Sinagra was guarding SCP-5741’s containment. Multiple instances, contained in a glass jar for study, managed to slide the glass jar off the shelf by moving forward against it. Upon hitting the floor, the glass jar broke, allowing the instances to escape. SO Sinagra pressed the Containment Breach alarm and attempted to stop the SCP-5741 instances. As he went to pick up an instance, two more instances embedded shards of glass from the jar into their bodies and attacked SO Sinagra in a rotating motion, creating multiple lacerations on his hand. Sinagra, appearing to be enraged, proceeded to stomp the two armed instances, terminating them. The 3 other instances retreated into the opposite corner and appeared to be afraid of SO Sinagra. SO Sinagra pursued the instances, who attempted to flee, but were captured and subsequently dismembered in violent fashion. As the instances were dismembered, faint vocalizations of distress were heard. 2 minutes after the breach, all escaped instances were terminated. Rapid Response Teams arrived and Sinagra was treated for his minor wounds. As per protocol, Sinagra was detained and was interviewed about the breach. + Addendum 4: Interview Log - Access Granted, retrieving file... Interviewer: Dr. Cummins Interviewed: SO Rajiv Sinagra Subject: Interviewee's conduct during the SCP-5741 Containment Breach. BEGIN LOG Video begins. Sinagra is seated on the left. Dr. Cummins enters the room and sits down, shuffling papers before speaking. Cummins: Good morning, Sinagra. Is your wound healing well? Sinagra: Yeah. The stitches still hurt, but it could be worse. Cummins: Good to hear. As you know, several SCP-5741 instances breached Containment earlier today. You were the guard assigned to SCP-5741’s chamber, correct? Sinagra: Yes, I was. Uhm, am I in trouble? Cummins: I just need to clarify a few things, about the breach. Even a minor one like this one can reveal faults in our thinking and procedure, and you were the only witness there. Can you tell me about the events leading up to the breach? Sinagra: Yeah, no problem. As you know, we- we being the Security Department- usually are assigned on specific objects and guard them until there’s a need for reassignment. Apparently, after one of the recent tests, the other guy had requested a transfer. Personally, I don’t blame him. Cummins: Can you elaborate? Sinagra: I mean, did you look at those things? I’ve seen a lot of freaky shit in my time at the Foundation, but those things take the cake. The way they move, the way they breathe, it’s… it’s unnatural. And now they can fucking pickup pieces of glass and use them to cut you? Cummins: I understand. We still know little about SCP-5741. However, CCTV tapes show you violently dismembering them. Why did you do this? Sinagra: They were laughing at me. Cummins: They were.. laughing at you? Sinagra: Yeah. The kind of laughter that makes you feel subhuman. That makes you feel like a joke. Only, it was children laughing. When I started smashing the little pieces of shit, they stopped laughing and started screaming. They wouldn’t stop screaming. I made them stop. That made me feel better. Sinagra: I crushed them. I destroyed them. I wiped them out, so they didn't hurt me. They might not be able to kill you now, but it will learn. They will grow. There will be more of them. They will grow bigger, and they will grow stronger, until one day they can kill you. And then you will be the one being stomped out of existence. Cummins: Sinagra, if you continue to aggressive, this interview will be terminated and a sedative will be adminstered- Sinagra: Did you not see what they did to them? What you did to them? Do you think they don’t see, or hear? We keep them in a box, but they can hear, and they can feel. They saw what you did to the others, and they want out. Sinagra stops speaking, and looks up to the ceiling. Sinagra: Oh god, they can see me. Sinagra abruptly falls unconscious. A mixture of blood, sugar, and corn syrup begin pouring out of his orifices. Cummins: Guards! Guards! Shit, get a medic in here, now! END LOG Sinagra was moved to the infirmary, where he subsequently was pronounced deceased. An autopsy later revealed that all Sinagra's interior mass was replaced with a mixture of corn syrup, sugar, gelatin, and various other confectionary ingredients. As a result of the interview log, testing with SCP-5741 is suspended. A new behavior has been observed in SCP-5741 instances after the incident, with instances appearing to congeal together in an attempt to form a larger instance. In addition, the rate of production of new instances is increasing exponentially. New containment procedures are being drafted to address this behavior. Until new Containment Procedures are in effect, staff are to prevent the creation of a larger instance by all reasonable means. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5741" by An Engineer , from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5742 | keter | close Info X SCP-5742: Moloch Author: CrystalMonarch More by this author Warning: You are currently viewing outdated records of SCP-5742. These documents are kept for archival and reference use only. Do you wish to proceed? Iteration 1 Iteration 2 Iteration 3 Iteration 4 Collected Documentation on AI-2471GH2 Image 31: Part of the exterior of AI-2471GH2. Anomalous Item: 2471GH2 Item Description: A large machine that appears designed to crush industrial waste into compact cubes. However, instead of being crushed any objects inserted into the input shaft are completely and irreversibly destroyed. Machine does not appear to require any external power supply to operate. A large plaque is affixed near the input shaft, on which is inscribed ‘MOLOCH’. Date of Recovery: 24/07/1970 Location of Recovery: A large disused industrial waste processing center in Westview Industrial Park, United Kingdom. Investigation into the origins of AI-2471GH2 has thus far yielded no results. Current Status: Undergoing Testing Test Log Input Result 200g iron weight Item not recovered, presumed destroyed. 200g iron weight attached to a rope After 30 seconds, the rope was retracted and found to have been severed. The tip of the rope was found to be slightly moist, and later chemical analysis revealed traces of amylase1. 1 live Mus musculus2 Item not recovered, presumed destroyed. 1 long range radio transmitter and radioactive isotope tracer. Radio signal continued for seven seconds after entry at which point the signal was lost. External scans indicate the radioactive isotope is no longer present within AI-2471GH2. 1 video recording device. Footage was broadcast as the device descended down the shaft and fell into a large compartment. None of the other items or any means of exit were visible. After several seconds the footage cuts out and the connection was unable to be re-established. Later enhancement of audio recording has revealed the sound of heavy breathing in the background before camera feed cuts out. Investigation Log Attempt Outcome Open installed repair hatch All access points have been welded shut and are inaccessible. Access via exit shaft Miniature remote control vehicle driven into exit shaft. Video recording showed that the shaft continued for 4.6 m before terminating in a blockage. When retrieved, the vehicle’s wheels were found to be coated in a dark substance, later revealed to be faecal matter. Forcibly remove external panelling Discovered that large amount of external machinery appears to be superfluous to the anomaly’s functionality. Main shaft was identified and found to be connected to a 2 m by 1.5 m by 1.5 m inner compartment. Inner compartment does not appear to be connected to the exit shaft. Analysis of interior components for evidence of functionality. The device appears to be constructed of parts from multiple non-anomalous industrial waste disposal devices. These parts are constructed in such a manner that they would be unable to correctly function and there is no connected power source. Wiring and pipework were found to be installed in runic patterns used by Daevite cultures to repel Tartarean entities. Attempt to drill into interior compartment. Upon breaching interior compartment, the drill vanished along with attached power cord. The breach in the compartment rapidly resealed, but prior to this leaked a small amount of a viscous transparent fluid. This was found to be primarily composed of dilute hydrochloric acid. AI-2471GH2 File Update 18/8/1970 The active components of AI-2471GH2 have been transported to Site-109 and are currently being held in Anomalous Item Storage. Reclassification as a full SCP object is pending. Item#: 5742 Level1 Secondary Class: thaumiel Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5742 is kept in a locked Containment Unit within Site-109’s Waste Disposal Center. It is to be used only for the annihilation of dangerous, destructive, or difficult to contain waste products that cannot otherwise be effectively disposed of. Direct authorization from the Site Director is required for the use of SCP-5742 to dispose of any materials other than the standard waste products from SCP-6112, SCP-19854, AI-9214JC4 and SCP-7072. SCP-5742 is to be inspected every six weeks for signs of unusual activity outwith that described in this document. The last inspection was on: 04/12/2031 Description: SCP-5742 is a large steel container connected to a 3.2 m steel shaft which terminates in an access hatch. Any matter which is introduced to SCP-5742 via this hatch is utterly and irreversibly eradicated via unknown means. SCP-5742 appears slightly rusted and occasionally emits small amounts of smoke, oil and other substances3, but has displayed the capacity to self repair any damage that would impair its functionality. SCP-5742 Incident Report Log4 23/10/2031 Standard Inspection Report 23/10/2031 Standard Inspection Report Containment Specialist Burgess: Emissions of smoke and bodily fluids have increased substantially over baseline levels, and the trend is that these will increase if this continued workload is maintained. My report recommends that SCP-5742 operate at 75% capacity until emissions return to baseline levels, in order to ensure its continued long term function. Response: Apotheoetic waste from SCP-6112 has been redirected to long term storage and breakdown facilities at Site-109D. This is expected to reduce use of SCP-5742 to 85% of capacity. 04/12/2031 Standard Inspection Report 04/12/2031 Standard Inspection Report Containment Specialist Burgess: The reduction of SCP-6112 waste has not been sufficient to improve SCP-5742 functioning and I can see on the new schedule that it’s now going to be expected to handle SCP-7072’s waste output as well. Frankly, this is unacceptable. Even a basic visual inspection of SCP-5742 can see that it now seeps a constant stream of various bodily fluids, which I measured to be at an average rate of 30 ml/hour. This far exceeds the ‘small amounts’ listed in the SCP documentation and so I have no choice but to issue my strongest recommendation that use of SCP-5742 be completely halted until its activity returns to baseline levels. Response: Site Director Grant has overruled this recommendation and has ordered that SCP-5742 continue operation at 85% capacity. 13/12/2031 Employee Complaint 13/12/2031 Employee Complaint Janitorial Supervisor Pullman: 5742 is going to pieces, there’s all kinds of shit leaking out and the ventilation system can’t get rid of the smoke faster than that machine pumps it out. These aren’t conditions that we can work in. Worst part is the damn hazmat suits. They might keep out contaminants but they do nothing for the smell and I can tell you from personal experience that being sick in a hazmat suit is just as bad as it sounds. I cannot in good conscience send my people in there on a daily basis when it’s this bad and getting worse by the week. Response: Site Director Grant has elected to provide a personal message in response: I understand the difficulty of your situation and the inherent dangers involved in the use of an unknown anomaly. But SCP-5742 has been in continuous operation for over 40 years and while its current activities are unusual, they are essentially just magnified versions of the same activities that have been recorded since its discovery. Any danger posed by the potential breakdown of SCP-5742 pales in comparison to the enormity of the waste disposal solutions that would need to be devised as an alternative. For the quantity of waste destroyed by SCP-5742 to be disposed of by traditional means, it would require hundreds of square kilometers of land be contaminated to the point of becoming unfit for human habitation for centuries. Disposal by alternate means would also incur exorbitant expense which would strain even the Foundation’s sizeable coffers. I can assure you that efforts are underway to find alternate means of waste disposal so as to ease the strain on SCP-5742. But until such a time, it is an absolute necessity that SCP-5742 continue to operate, at an absolute minimum of 50% capacity. I have put in a requisition for a Grade V PPE suits that should filter out any noxious odours and allow you to do your very necessary and vital job in as much comfort as possible. Rest assured that the efforts of Site-109’s janitorial staff in this area do not go unnoticed. Secure. Contain. Protect. Site Director Delia Grant Item#: 5742 Level1 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: critical link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5742 has breached containment and is currently active somewhere on Sublevel One of Site-109. All employees should proceed to emergency exits or to secure bunkers as applicable. This is a developing situation and this document will be updated in real time via AIC as more information becomes available. Description: SCP-5742 is an unknown entity that was previously utilised as waste disposal for multiple types of highly toxic and/or dangerous anomalous waste products. The full extent of its anomalous capabilities are unknown, but it is mobile and poses a threat to any human life in its vicinity. It is likely still capable of completely annihilating any form of matter it makes contact with. It also appears to have developed the capacity to emit toxic fumes which are highly acidic and capable of degrading Class IV biohazard suits in under 30 seconds. These fumes are toxic and should not be inhaled. Timeline of Breach-26/12/2031 [08:37] 350kg of SCP-19854 effluence5 is deposited into SCP-5742’s hatch. [08:41] Smoke emitted from SCP-5742 increases significantly and Janitorial Supervisor Pullman activates the emergency alarm and organises evacuation of SCP-5742’s Containment Unit. The Grade III PPE suits worn by the janitorial staff can be seen to be severely damaged by the smoke. [08:44] Site Director Grant and majority of Senior Staff reach Secure Bunker-01 and are safely sealed in. [08:45] Cries of ‘Melek un dar est. Melek est arat mar fure!6 are heard to emit from SCP-5742. [08:46] Loud cracking noises are heard and infrared cameras show SCP-5742 beginning to fracture. [08:47] An animalistic grunting is heard being emitted from SCP-5742 before all cameras in Waste Disposal cease to transmit a signal. [08:48] Site-109 security forces are scrambled and begin blocking exits from Sublevel One and assisting in evacuation efforts. [09:04] Smoke and noxious gases from SCP-5742 spread out of Waste Disposal, presumably their acidic properties have enabled them to bypass security measures. [09:07] Multiple reports from survivors indicate sighting of a large figure with the head of a bull moving in the smoke [09:12] Site-109 security forces have engaged SCP-5742 and are attempting recontainment. This is an ongoing situation. This document will be updated as new information arises. Wilson's Wildlife Solutions: UK Branch Critter Profile: Moloch! Overview! Name: Moloch Species: Bos taurus taurus (South Devon Bull) Primary Caretakers: Lake District Team Diet: As part of a special arrangement we have with the folks down at Site-109, they take care of feeding Moloch on Saturdays. But for the rest of the week, we make sure Moloch gets a nice balanced diet with plenty of veggies to keep him healthy and happy. Housed: Pasture 5. Creature Features! Moloch isn't your typical bull, no sir, he's a genuine psychospiritual entity that's been around for thousands of years! Don't let that scare you off though. This big guy can be a bit of a grump to strangers but he's very friendly once he gets to know you, especially if you've got a tasty treat for him. And once you're friends with Moloch, you're friends for life and he'll be over licking your hand as fast as you can say lickety split! If you do want to make friends with our pal Moloch though, you should be aware that he has a few little problems. First off, he's had bad experiences with being kept cooped up and doesn't like to feel boxed in. That's why he's got the whole of Pasture 5 to play around in, to make sure he always feels happy and free. Second, he's got a very high metabolism, in fact anything that gets in his belly pretty much disappears right away! So make sure he doesn't go nibbling at anything you don't want to lose. Lastly, poor Moloch has a little bit of a flatulence problem, especially after the Site-109 folks have been feeding him. So if you've got a sensitive nose you might want to steer clear. Another good reason why Moloch is kept in the beautiful open air of Pasture 5! But as long as he's not overfed, Moloch is a sweet and happy soul and an absolute pleasure to be around. History! Moloch has got a very long and exciting story he could tell us, I'm sure, but most of it has been forgotten or is too darn secret for me to know about. But what I do know is that our friends over at Site-109 had been taking care of him for quite a few years before he ended up in our care. Though to be honest, I’m not sure what they were feeding him before they brought him to us. When he first got brought here back in March our friend Moloch was not a happy camper! I joked I could almost see why folks in the olden days had thought he was a demon. That Grant gal they had driving the truck didn’t seem to find it that funny though. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5743 | euclid | close Info X SCP-5743: Carcinisation Author: CrystalMonarch More by this author Item #: SCP-5743 Level 3/5743 Classified Initial excavation of SCP-5743. Special Containment Procedures: Archaeological excavation of SCP-5743 is to continue, and all materials of anomalous origin discovered should be catalogued and stored at Site-109. SCP-5743-237 is held in an aquatic storage tank in Site-109. It may be brought within 14 km of SCP-5743 for testing purposes, but should not be brought within 8 km of SCP-5743 under any circumstances. Description: SCP-5743 is the remains of a settlement that was populated by humanoids with anomalous capabilities from approximately 8000BCE until 6200BCE. It was located in the region known as Dogger Littoral, a landmass that connected Britain with mainland Europe during the Pleistocene and early Holocene, before being submerged by a rise in global sea levels. SCP-5743 is currently located 200 m below sea level in the North Sea. SCP-5743-1 through SCP-5743-438 are items retrieved from SCP-5743 that either have features that are themselves anomalous, or are items that were created by anomalous means1. The majority of these items are humanoid remains which have been substantially altered from baseline humanity in ways that appear to indicate aquatic adaptation. Carbon dating of structures and preserved biological material inidicates that the settlement ceased to be inhabited around the time of the Storegga Slide2 and has not been inhabited by humans or humanoid entities since. Further information on SCP-5743 has been provided by SCP-5743-237 (See Interview-5743) but the reliability of this information is questionable. SCP-5743-237 is an unusually large Pagurus bernhardus3 with a 41 cm long carapace. It is sapient and can communicate via direct thought transference. This has been described by those who experience it as appearing like their own inner voice speaking to them, usually in the language with which they are most comfortable. The cellular structure of SCP-5743-237 is highly unusual and appears to show a vastly reduced rate of cellular death and no limit to cellular reproduction. Studies are currently underway to determine the extent of this, but it appears likely that SCP-5743-237 is biologically immortal. SCP-5743-237 also has the capacity to channel Geo-Thaumic energies from SCP-5743 to produce a number of anomalous effects which are not yet fully understood. These effects include the capacity to alter its own biological structure as well as that of other living things around it. These effects are directly proportional to its proximity to SCP-5743 and are negligible at distances greater than 14 km. Discovery SCP-5743 was discovered by the Foundation after studies into Geo-Thaumic Energy Channels4 identified a nexus point beneath the North Sea where multiple channels converged. An expedition sent to this region found the ruins of a settlement (later designated SCP-5743) along with several instances of abnormal human remains (later designated SCP-5743-1 through SCP-5743-14). During subsequent expeditions, numerous potential SCP-5743 objects were brought to the surface for analysis aboard the SS Cardiff Pioneer. One such object was SCP-5743-237, which at this time had not displayed any anomalous properties but was selected for further analysis due to its unusual size. While in containment, it altered the physiology of one of the crew members, Foundation Able Seaman Daniel Harding. Large portions of his skin were replaced with a chitinous material, several fingers on each of his hands fused together, and the majority of his teeth retracted. SCP-5743-237 then communicated with Daniel Harding and told him that he would be restored to his previous state if SCP-5743-237 was freed. Harding then attempted to breach SCP-5743-237’s containment but was stopped by security forces on board who then identified the anomalous alterations to his physiology. SCP-5743-237 was transported to Site-109 at which point the limits of its anomalous capabilities were identified and current containment methods were devised. Harding has been reprimanded and his newly anomalous physiology is currently being studied in an attempt to uncover a way to reverse the effects of SCP-5743-237. Interview-5743 SCP-5743-237. Interviewer: Dr Kristov Interviewed: SCP-5743-237 Foreword: This interview was conducted at Site-109 in an attempt to learn more about SCP-5743. Senior Researcher Kristov’s questions were spoken aloud in the presence of SCP-5743-237, and SCP-5743-237’s responses were transmitted directly into Researcher Kristov’s mind, at which point she recorded them for the purposes of this record. Kristov: What are you? SCP-5743-237 remains stationary within its tank and no response is recorded Kristov: I’ve spoken to Daniel Harding, I know you can understand me. SCP-5743-237: What do I gain from speaking with you? You have trapped me far from the source of my power and I have no hold over you to force you to do my bidding. Kristov: Perhaps we can find some common purpose between your goals and that of my organisation. Or, if you won’t speak with me you can remain trapped, and you may well be destroyed if you try to escape again. SCP-5743-237: Foolishness. I am blessed with immortality and a perfect form, you could never destroy me. But I will humour your desires, if only so that you may have the chance to see the truth of my greatness. SCP-5743-237 approaches the edge of its aquarium and snaps its claws. Kristov: What are you? SCP-5743-237: I no longer care to remember any of the names I was known by before. You may call me the Survivor, for that is what I have made myself. I once was human, like you, another starving animal wandering the ancient plains and coastlines searching for food and shelter. But my people and I found so much more. Kristov: You mean the nexus, the Geo-Thaumic energy? SCP-5743-237: We found power. And we used that power to become something greater than human, living gods. As long as we stayed near the power, we could channel the Earth’s own magic to make reality into whatever we desired. Endless food, immortality, all the pleasures that flesh has to offer. Kristov: I think I understand. When the oceans rose, your anomalous capabilities weren’t enough to protect you? SCP-5743-237: You understand nothing. Our magic was strong but rooted in the Earth and we could no more use our magic to change her than a strong man can lift himself off the ground by grabbing his feet. We could not stop the oceans but our magic could protect us, help us adapt to Earth’s changes. Kristov: And these… adaptations are what made you into your current form? There must have been another way to survive the floods that would have allowed you to stay more human. SCP-5743-237: Other ways were tried, but the Earth’s magic is temperamental. When we turned our efforts from pleasure to survival, we discovered that our intent needed to be pure in order to draw upon its full power. My intent was purest, I sought only survival and thus I became something that could survive even the greatest of disasters. A form perfectly suited to enduring, one that life returns to again and again. SCP-5743-237 gestures with its claws spread wide and snaps them open and shut several times. Kristov: What happened to the rest? SCP-5743-237: Some died, you found their remains buried beneath the silt. Most left, giving up their godhood to become petty mortals and their corpses lie buried beneath the mud now too. Fools. Kristov: Dogger Littoral has been submerged for millenia. What have you done down there, for all those years? SCP-5743-237: I have survived. When the floods came and a wall of water grew tall enough to blot the sun, I kept my sole focus on survival. My intent channelled the magic to make my form perfect for survival and that magic judged that a mind was… unnecessary. My intelligence slept until you mortals dragged me up from the depths and threatened my survival, for I had no need of thought until then. Kristov: So you spent the past eight thousand years as a crab? That sounds like it would be a very lonely and difficult time.

SCP-5744 | euclid | Instance of SCP-5744 in its dormant state. Item #: SCP-5744 Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Containment Force Xi-4 ("Baywatch") are to be stationed on Kapoposang Island in the Makassar Strait, and are to monitor a 20km radius area for instances of SCP-5744. All water traffic that attempts to enter the area should be intercepted and redirected using cover story G31. Every 2 weeks, at least 2 D-Class personnel should be sent into SCP-5744-1 to conduct Procedure-L91 (see Addendum-5744-3 for details). Description: SCP-5744 is the designation given to an unknown species of polychaete worms of the Nereididae family located within the Makassar Strait, found in an approximately 15km radius area centred on SCP-5744-1. SCP-5744 instances initially appear in a dormant state where they are indistinguishable from non-anomalous worms, however, once a human comes within visual range of an SCP-5744 instance it will attempt to enter that person’s ear. They can become intangible at will and are capable of passing through all known forms of solid matter. Once inside, SCP-5744 instances will latch onto the victim's Tympanic membrane2, where it will begin to exhibit its behaviour altering properties (see Addendum-5744-1 for details). SCP-5744-1 is a large artificial structure located on the ocean floor of the Makassar Strait, approximately 70km off the west coast of South Sulawesi (see Addendum-5744-2 for Exploration Log). SCP-5744-2 is a twelve limbed aquatic entity resembling a member of the Cephalopoda class but is far larger, with greatly elongated tentacles. It is highly intelligent, and the full extent of its anomalous properties remain unknown. Procedure-L91 has so far proven to be sufficient in containing it within SCP-5744-1, however, research is underway to find a more sustainable long term solution. Addendum-5744-1: Discovery Addendum-5744-1: Discovery Foreword: The following is an excerpt from Researcher Angstrom's daily log after passing through the infested area on an unrelated assignment investigating SCP-████. The original log has been edited for brevity. "To summarise, the seismic activity in the Makassar Strait tsunamigenic region has proven to be non-anomalous in nature and aligns with current predictions. However, I still feel a powerful disturbance, deep beneath the sea. There is a tidal force which pulls me, beckons me to dive below and seek out the truth. I must make pilgrimage to this long forgotten place to pay homage to the creature that resides there, and if it finds my offerings acceptable, may I reside in its sanctum. Let us go then, and be nourished by their unknowable wisdom, and return refreshed and with new purpose." Concluding Statement: The log continues in a similar manner for another 8470 words, including directions on where to locate SCP-5744-1, before concluding in the regular manner. After submission of the log, Researcher Angstrom was brought in for medical scans which revealed an SCP-5744 instance attached to their Tympanic membrane. Addendum-5744-2: Exploration Log Addendum-5744-2: Exploration Log Foreword: Mobile Task Force Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") were dispatched in a speedboat with diving gear to locate and investigate SCP-5744-1. Summarised transcriptions of bodycam feeds and audio logs are contained below: <BEGIN LOG> G6-A: Arrived at location, dropping anchor. MTF agents A to D suit up with diving gear, with agent E and F remaining on the boat. After descending 50m, a structure can be seen protruding from the seabed composed of limestone blocks with a dense coating of coral polyps, confirmed to be SCP-5744-1. G6-C: Dash one sighted, twelve o'clock. G6-A: Roger, approaching entrance, watch my six. The MTF agents move towards the structure. Unknown sigils are inscribed in the block above a 3m tall stone door. G6-D: Scans indicate one lifeform inside. No response to our presence. G6-A: Roger. Initiate breach procedure Q-7. MTF agents flank the door with two agents at each side, with breaching explosives placed on the door. G6-A: Three, two, one. The door explodes inwards and agents A and C move in. An unseen barrier prevents water from entering SCP-5744-1, leaving the agents standing in a room furnished like a hotel lobby. SCP-5744-2 can be seen next to a table holding hors d'oeuvres. SCP-5744-2: Hello! Welcome to the Seabed and Breakfast! Could I interest you in some sea cucumber sandwiches? Extraneous dialogue has been removed. <END LOG> Post Exploration: As SCP-5744-2 was found to be non-hostile, Procedure-L91 considered to be sufficient to appease SCP-5744-2's demand for customers, neutralising >98% of SCP-5744 instances. Addendum-5744-3: Procedure-L91 Addendum-5744-3: Procedure-L91 Procedure-L91 consists of spending a 3 nights stay in the "Seabed and Breakfast" contained within SCP-5744-1. Reviews have been highly positive, and a request to prioritise well behaved D-class personnel to conduct Procedure-L91 is pending. Footnotes 1. Unexploded ordnance in the area. 2.

SCP-5745 | euclid | Item#: 5745 Level3 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: danger link to memo An artistic depiction of a pair of SCP-5745-2,1artwork produced by Researcher Willoghby. Special Containment Procedures: Upon discovery of an SCP-5745-1 manifestation, depending on the location and severity, MTF Units Paleo-1 through Paleo-7 must be dispatched to contain any SCP-5745-2 instances. If possible, any captured instances are to be brought to Site-5745 and placed in the large environment for further research and study. Lethal force is authorised if an SCP-5745-2 instance becomes hostile. Description: SCP-5745-1 is a reoccurring space-time anomalous event, during which a rift in time is manifested through unknown means. The rifts always connect our time with periods before humans are thought to exist (typically Cambrian to Pleistocene eras). The location of SCP-5745-1 manifestations is seemingly random, though they occasionally repeat in locations they have previously appeared in. SCP-5745-1 always manifests in locations with a similar climate and ecosystem to the era that the rift is connected.2 Presently, no link between SCP-5745 and SCP-1265 has been discovered. SCP-5745-2 are creatures that appear from SCP-5745-1 (typically from the clade Dinosauria, Reptilia, or Mammalia). It is currently believed they are legitimate specimens from the eras they emerged, as DNA samples match. SCP-5745-2 are normally docile, appearing to avoid humans at all costs, but if cornered or startled will become aggressive. Carnivorous instances are extremely prone to these outbursts and often actively hunt humans as prey over other possible food sources. The reason for this is unknown. Some have been known to hunt for sport, potentially displaying a slight degree of sentience. SCP-5745-2 instances have shown an ability to survive in a modern environment for some while, despite atmospheric differences, and a herd of Parasaurolophus walkeri currently under study have been permitted to roam the Amazonian rainforest for some time. Some instances that have been observed in our time period have thrived in the new environment for months before discovery, as all SCP-5745-2 seem to immediately adapt to modern atmospheric composition and condition. The following is a list of all repeat locations SCP-5745-1 has manifested as of 12/03/2021:3 Hell Creek, Montana, USA Taynton Limestone, Oxfordshire, England Fraser Island, Queensland, Australia ██████, Gobi Desert, Mongolia Elliot Formation, South Africa 69°44'52"S 131°12'24"E · 2.51 km, Antarctica Point Nemo, South Pacific Ocean Notably, most of these locations are famous for fossilised fragments and/or full skeletons. History: The first recorded instance of an SCP-5745-1 manifestation comes from the 11th Century, the event being documented in multiple historic paintings. It depicts St. George killing what is believed to be a Dimorphodon macronyx that emerged from SCP-5745-1. A cover story has been fabricated, dismissing the entity as a fictitious ‘dragon’. The section of paintings with SCP-5745-1 visible has been removed. Depictions of SCP-5745-2 are present throughout historical texts and artwork, for example, Asian depictions of dragons are theorised to resemble Titanoboa cerrejonensis or some other species of megafauna snake. If any new references to SCP-5745-2 instances are discovered, they must be dismissed as common folklore or exaggeration of an already existing species. In 1964, it was discovered that manifestations could be detected an hour before their opening, as radiation levels in the area would spike. This knowledge has benefitted the Foundation in efforts to contain SCP-5745. This requires a Geiger counter4 to be present in the location, so rifts are not always detected if this is not present. There seems to have been a period where SCP-5745-1 manifestations became non-existent or dormant, as there is no evidence supporting this anomaly from approximately 1450 to 1890. Throughout the 20th and 21st Centuries, SCP-5745-1 seems to manifest more prevalently than ever in modern day. It is theorised the opening of rifts has active and dormant periods, lasting approximately 200-300 years between each dormant event. Currently, we are living in a time where SCP-5745-1 is in an active state. Due to the frequency of rift openings, 7 MTF Units have been created to specifically deal with SCP-5745-2 threats. These MTF teams have been designated the ‘Paleo Division’. A full list of Paleo Division squads and specs can be found here: + Show Paleo Division Details - Hide Paleo Division Details Paleo-1 ‘Cavemen’ Location: North America Members: 17 Specialisation: Large members of clade Dinosauria/Mammalia Paleo-2 ‘ACU’ Location: South America Members: 8 Specialisation: Medium to large members of clade Dinosauria Paleo-3 ‘Swamp Waders’ Location: Europe Members: 11 Specialisation: Small to medium members of clade Dinosauria/Mammalia/Reptilia Paleo-4 ‘Desert Dwellers’ Location: Asia Members: 14 Specialisation: Small to large members of clade Dinosauria/Mammalia/Avialae Paleo-5 ‘Park Rangers’ Location: Africa Members: 7 Specialisation: Medium members of clade Dinosauria/Mammalia Paleo-6 ‘Prehistoric Poachers’ Location: Oceania (also tasked with defence of Site-5745) Members: 16 Specialisation: Medium members of clade Dinosauria Paleo-7 ‘Woolly Mammoths’ Location: Antarctica Members: 8 Specialisation: Small to large members of clade Mammalia Note: Not all members of the Paleo Division are assigned strictly to SCP-5745, but may be assigned only in the event of an SCP-5745-1 manifestation in their given location. Addendum 5745.1: Species recovered and currently residing in Site-5745 in order of recovery (This list does not include the various species that have been terminated upon manifestation): . 12 Triceratops horridus . 6 Parasaurolophus walkeri . 2 Apatosaurus marsh . 13 Psittacosaurus mongoliensis . 1 Tyrannosaurus rex . 1 Sarcosuchus imperator5 . 1 Baryonyx walkeri . 4 Dilophosaurus wetherilli . 3 Balaur bondoc Any and all eggs produced by SCP-5745-2 instances must immediately be destroyed to prevent overpopulation of the area. Aerial view of Site-5745 Site-5745 has been created around Mt. Taranaki, New Zealand, to facilitate long-term containment of captured SCP-5745-2 instances. The area surrounding Mt. Taranaki is open to the public for tourism so as not to arouse suspicion, but permitted only on Foundation operated tours that follow a predetermined scouted route. Site-5745 is home to many natural species of modern day animals and plants that serve as food sources for the SCP-5745-2, however a herd of larger live creatures such as cattle are to be added to the area weekly for carnivorous instances to hunt. Large amounts of consumable greens are to be dropped into a small field in Site-5745 weekly, as herbivorous instances will completely consume the forest within a matter of years if left to fend for themselves. Though SCP-5745-2 often do not hunt each other, they will occasionally hunt and kill other instances, at which point, a new instance from the next rift event shall replace it. The following is a log taken by Researcher Walker during his routinely inspection of the environment within Site-5745. + Show Exploration Log 5745-1 - Hide Exploration Log 5745-1 08:00: Me and 5 men from Paleo-6 left the research building early to get a full day in. Walked right into a tree branch. Ouch. 09:14: First sign of an SCP-5745-2 instance. A few small creatures ran in front of us, but left as suddenly as they appeared. Probably the Balaurs, they are good at being unseen. 10:45: Heard a large sound resembling a bassoon. I believe it was a Parasaur, hopefully we will reach the herd soon. Also found a large kill with lots of crushed bones near a lake, possibly from the Sarcosuchus. 10:56: Heard it again but louder. Getting close. 12:00: Stopped for lunch. 13:01: Stumbled across the herd. It seems the Parasaurs, Apatasaurus and Psitticasaurus have formed a large herd. This is unexpected, all 3 species would have never interacted with each other (they lived millions of years apart) let alone created a herd. Survival in numbers I guess. Still no sign of the Triceratops. 14:00: Have been watching the herd for an hour. Leaving to look for something else. 14:28: Command alerted us that the cows would be dropped in about half an hour. Moving to the drop point. 14:56: Reached feeding point. Ready to observe feeding, team is on high alert. 15:11: Cows were dropped off 10 minutes ago, the Tyrannosaur made an appearance! It just shot out of the tree line, grabbed one off the ground and made off with it. It was in and out of the clearing in less than 10 seconds. Worrying to see it move that fast. 15:13: Soon after the Rex left, the Balaurs showed up. These things are tiny, about the size of a medium dog. They did some amazing stuff, one of them bit the cow’s leg and while it was distracted, the other 2 jumped on its neck and finished it off. They remind me of wolves. 15:20: We caught the Balaurs trying to sneak up on us. Probably just curious, they like to watch what we do through the fence of the research lab, but the guys want to get moving. No show from the Baryonyx or Dilophosaurus. (Or Sarcosuchus, but that thing never gets seen). 16:00: Have been trekking for 40 minutes straight, taking a break. 16:12: Heard Triceratops mating call, moving in that direction. 17:40: Have been looking for that Trike for a while, might head back to base soon, it’s getting darker. 18:23: You won’t guess what happened. That wasn’t a Triceratops. The damn Dilophosaurs were mimicking the calls of the Trikes and waiting for it to be night so they could ambush us. I don’t know how they were able to replicate the sound, it sounded so loud. That’s completely new evidence for how Dilophosaurs take down such large prey, they sneak up on it by luring it into a trap (take that SCP-1265 researchers!). One of them bit Geoffrey’s leg, but I think he’ll be fine. Moving back to Site Command. 18:45: We were followed back, I’m sure of it. The whole time on the walk back I felt like I was being watched. The others were confused, saying I’m crazy. I know something was there. Note: Following Researcher Walker’s bodily examination, it revealed that he had been bitten by a Dilophosaurus wetherilli. It is now believed that this species uses a form of mind-altering substance in its saliva to cause prey to become disoriented. Testing on this is currently underway. Incident Logs: Due to the fact that there have been 114 recorded cases of SCP-5745-1 manifesting since the Foundation’s existence, only manifestations since the year 2000 have been recorded here. They have been condensed into a single document for the purpose of organisation.

Clearance Code Accepted A graph displaying cases of SCP-5745-1 since 1910. Addendum 5745.2: As can be seen in incident logs relating to SCP-5745, the frequency and severity of rift events is drastically rising. Previously, rifts would occur approximately once every 5-10 years. Within the last five years alone, 3 SCP-5745-1 materialisations have occurred. It is believed that this can be attributed to warming of Earth's atmosphere, as the most common time for materialisations in the past has been during warm periods of spring and summer. Senior Researcher Wood has made a statement about the future of SCP-5745 research that can be found in the following paragraph. Statement from Senior Researcher Wood: You have probably noticed that the last 3 rift manifestations were within a small time period, and you are correct. Current theories suggest that SCP-5745-1 manifestations are heightened by warm temperatures, as you also probably noticed, they are most common during warmer months. Rising CO² levels have been trapping solar radiation and warming our planet, meaning that rifts are appearing in higher frequencies and staying open for longer, making containment harder. As more instances are emerging from SCP-5745-1, construction of a new site for long term containment is underway, Site-5745-2. It will be larger than the first and has a broad underground and above ground facility for containment of rarer Cenozoic species, including a large bay for marine life forms. With the rising intensity of SCP-5745-1 manifestations, the possibility of an SK-Class Dominance Shift Scenario must be considered. These creatures were the prime species in their time, and if we are changing our environment to be more like theirs, their domination over us is a likely outcome. If the frequency of rifts continues to rise exponentially as it currently is, then we will soon run out of resources to contain the SCP-5745-2 instances. I am formally submitting a request for SCP-5745 to be reclassified as Keter in light of recent events. Yours sincerely, Senior Researcher ████ Wood. Footnotes 1. Balaur bondoc specimens. 2.

Site-∞ is to be built around SCP-5746. SCP-5746 and SCP-5746-1 are self-repairing and require no outside maintenance. Visual and audio logs recorded from tests on SCP-5746-1 are to be saved on Foundation Deepwell servers. Only MTF-777 "The Crystal Ballers" are permitted to operate SCP-5746-1. Image of SCP-5746 during construction of Site-∞ circa 1990. Description: SCP-5746 is a temporal eigenmachine1 covertly built into an industrial factory in Cardiff, Wales. It consists of five sub-levels: Sub-levels 1 and 2 are dedicated to the processing of tachyon threads. Sublevel 3 contains four body scanners and machinery related to their operation; these are collectively designated SCP-5746-1. Sub-levels 4 and 5 are used to filter the waste from Sub-level 3. While in SCP-5746-1, a subject enters an REM cycle and their consciousness is brought to the preset programmed time via the tachyon threads2 processed from higher sublevels. The brain presents this experience in metaphorical and surrealist imagery personal to the subject; this experience has been compared to lucid dreaming. As humans are unable to recall most information obtained via lucid dreaming, use of SCP-5746-1's built-in visual and audio capture has allowed for more accurate data collection.

Director Tailor is seated at his desk, and another Researcher Davis is standing in front of the Director's desk. The Davis who just entered the room, freezes. Director Tailor and Other Davis are not aware of Researcher Davis' presence.] Other Davis: (yells) What the hell is going on with this machine? Tailor: Excuse me? You can't barg— Other Davis: (interrupts) While in the scanners I saw this exact meeting play out, including you telling me you made SCP-5746. Is this why we can't perform any tests looking to the past? Tailor: (sighs) Please sit down, Davis. [Other Davis complies. Researcher Davis remains standing; he mumbles under his breath occasionally.] Tailor: Yes. In another timeline and universe, I made the Time Stitcher. But when me and my team activated it, it cut and ripped through our timeline like a seamster's seam ripper. [Both Davises remain silent.] Tailor: I was the only survivor, as I was the only one in a body scanner. The universe consisted of darkness, until I found the disparate threads of all timelines, and SCP-5746's existence. Tailor: That's when I weaved it back together from the various, broken timelines (pauses) and made this one. Ours. Other Davis: This is a bold and narcissistic claim. Tailor: What is? Other Davis: That you created our universe. Tailor: It was already created, I just stitched what I could find back together. My fault with the machine the first time was observing the past and the initial creation of our universe. Other Davis: What did you see? Tailor: (pauses) …myself stitching the timeline back together, again. [Feed picks up a bright, white light, and the session ends.] <End Log> Davis had been in SCP-5746-1 for approximately ten minutes. Immediately after the test's conclusion, Davis confronted Director Tailor. Revision 1995/05/14 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5746 is contained via the existence of the Foundation. Site-∞ is to be built around SCP-5746. SCP-5746 and SCP-5746-1 are self-repairing and require no outside maintenance.

SCP-5747 | euclid | This is an SCP about planes. Item #: SCP-5747 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation watchdog algorithms are to monitor the flight records of licensed pilots involved in civilian and/or military aviation. The number of unique aircraft flown by each pilot is to be recorded by this system as it iterates through flight personnel. Should this statistic approach the threshold necessary to activate SCP-5747's effects, the offending individual is to be revoked of their piloting license and retired from employment. In the event that SCP-5747 occurs successfully, the airspace within a 50 km radius of the affected person is to be cleared of air traffic. Civilian witnesses in the vicinity of the area are to be apprehended and amnesticized. At the conclusion of the anomaly's effects, the affected subject must also undergo amnestic treatment, as well as the implantation of false memories to justify their subsequent retirement from the aviation industry. Description: SCP-5747 denotes an anomalous phenomenon that manifests in individuals licensed to operate aircraft. These individuals must meet the following criteria in order to trigger its effects: More than 100 unique models of aircraft flown throughout the span of their piloting career. This criterion includes all forms of manned aircraft, including civilian airliners, military jet planes, and space shuttles. The specifications for what constitutes a unique model of aircraft appear to be dependent on the manufacturer's internal cataloguing system. Possession of a valid piloting license that is legally recognized by the individual's local aviation regulatory body. Aircraft models that are flown without a valid license do not count towards the first criterion. Within 24 hours of meeting these two conditions, the subject will experience the onset of SCP-5747's effects and begin levitating upwards. Any attempts to impede this ascent will invariably fail, as the subject will pass through any solid objects blocking their path. The velocity of this upward movement increases at a geometric rate and levels out to a constant speed as the subject rises above the cloud layer. As the affected individual enters the stratosphere, the atmospheric particulate in front of the subject will coalesce into enormous letters. These formations spell out the names of notable figures in the aviation industry, ranging from early aircraft inventors to modern aerospace engineers. More than two thousand names appear during this phenomenon, materializing in vertical succession as the subject floats through the atmosphere. At various points during SCP-5747, large humanoid entities will briefly appear in front of the subject. These figures measure up to five kilometers in height and resemble the leaders of contemporary aerospace corporations from the torso up, terminating below the upper chest. Spectroscopic surveys reveal that they are primarily composed of rarefied vapour and other aerosols found in cloud formations. After manifesting, these entities will make eye contact with the subject and gesture in approval — typically with a smile or a nod — before slowly dissipating. In rare cases, the entities will produce a vocalization in lieu of a physical gesture.1 All attempted communications have yet to be reciprocated, suggesting that these manifestations are non-sentient. After reaching an altitude of 40 km, the subject will decelerate until they are hovering in place. At this point, a crowd of human figures — identifiable as the subject's friends and family — will manifest around them. These entities do not respond to external stimuli and do not perform any actions besides clapping loudly and staring at the subject. Shortly after their appearance, a large set of text will materialize in the distance. This text reads: CONGRATULATIONS! THANK YOU FOR FLYING WITH US WE LOVE YOU After thirty minutes have passed following this message, the subject will fall unconscious, then disappear. Affected persons typically wake up in their place of residence after an SCP-5747 event. All previous subjects recount experiencing a feeling of pride and accomplishment after regaining consciousness. They also report finding a $500,000 cheque2 on their person and an airplane-shaped trophy in their domicile. Subjects have also reported gaining an implicitly understood ability to requisition a gold-plated aircraft from any airplane manufacturer of their choosing. Subsequent testing has shown that these requests are universally honored, with little to no skepticism regarding the validity of the order. Author's Note Hide Author's Note Hello, reader. Last week, a good friend of mine passed away. He was found in the river near the famous bridge where lovers cross, and his body was left to decompose for several weeks. He lived a solitary life and his body was not found for a long time. It was the worst feeling of my life. When I saw his face in the coffin, I felt an invisible hand penetrate me and grasp my lungs. Over the next few days, the fingers deep inside me slowly twisted. Surely, the only way to escape this loneliness is to become addicted. So, I encourage all readers to adopt a vice today. Cigarettes and alcohol are great, but they may be illegal in your area. Anything is okay! Please try to put these ideas into practice today! Thank you. ✌️ ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5747" by syuzhet, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-5747. Licensed under CC-BY-SA.

SCP-5748 | safe | close Info X SCP-5748: Meaningless Shapes and Noises Author: CrystalMonarch More by this author Item #: SCP-5748 Level 3/5748 Classified Part of recovered GRU-P documentation. Depicts Subject-14 being administered SCP-5748. Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-5748-1 are stored in maximum security anomalous item storage at Site-109. Any persons exposed to SCP-5748 can be amnesticised and released from containment, with their lack of language skills explained as the result of a haemmorhagic stroke. Description: SCP-5748 is a gaseous chemical weapon1 designed to infiltrate the brain’s language centers, and remove all semantic connection between words and their meanings. All known SCP-5748 is in containment in the form of a collection of weaponised delivery systems, designated SCP-5748-1. The initial onset of this effect is a corruption of the meaning of words and expressions such that they lose nuance. Individuals then experience a loss of vocabulary and understanding of grammatical structure. During this time, the affected individuals' communications become increasingly unintelligible, and they have increased difficulty in understanding verbal, signed or written language. In the final stages, they lose all capacity to understand language and become unable to learn or relearn any language in the future. The duration of time between initial onset and final stages varies depending on how much SCP-5748 was inhaled by the individual. The effects can take days to fully manifest with small doses, while sufficiently large doses can cause near instant progression to the final stage. Thus far, no way to reverse the effects of SCP-5748 have been found. Discovery: SCP-5748 was created by GRU 'P' Division in the early 1970s. It was originally intended to specifically target the English language, in order to be used as a weapon that would cause massive disruption amongst American forces while leaving their own troops unaffected. However, their attempts to create a targeted form of SCP-5748 failed, and the project lost its funding. The SCP-5748-1 instances created as part of this project remained in GRU-P storage until the dissolution of the USSR, at which point they were obtained by the Foundation along with a number of other GRU-P assets and personnel. Currently, the Foundation has 650 tonnes of solid state SCP-5748 in containment. Addendum 1: Experiment Log Excerpt The following is part of the documentation on SCP-5748 recovered from GRU-P. Experiment Log: Subject-14 Date: 14/08/1973 Subject: Subject-14 is a healthy 32 year old female. Previously, she was an American spy captured during an attempt to infiltrate a GRU-P installation. Subject is intelligent, with a rich vocabulary and excellent grasp of the English language, and has moderate command of Russian. She has proven cooperative with testing after the consequences of non-cooperation were explained to her. She has been granted access to several personal items2 as an incentive for good behaviour. Control Speech Sample3 It’s a painting of a forest. It’s beautiful, the colours are vibrant and rich and the way the sunlight illuminates the empty glade at the center makes me feel nostalgic for when I was young girl and I’d play in the woods out back. Post-Interview Assessment Subject has been selected to test the effects of Substance P4124 exposure on a typical American citizen. She has not been informed about the nature of Substance P412, and has instead been informed she is to be used in testing the bodies reaction to prolonged exposure to a high oxygen environment. She is to be administered one dose of 3.5 mcg of Substance P412 while asleep in the oxygen chamber. Day One Speech Sample It’s a painting of a forest. I think the colours are good and the shapes and stuff are good too. The bit in the middle where there’s no trees feels kind of sad to me. I’m sorry, I know I explained this better yesterday but I don’t just feel good today. Post-Interview Assessment The onset of symptoms is slow but apparent. Assessment of language skills indicates a large decline, but other areas of cognitive performance remain stable. Day Two Speech Sample there are trees and the space between the trees look sad and alone the trees are brown with green leaves but there's all different kinds of green and its very pretty Post-Interview Assessment Subject is fully aware of the deterioration in her linguistic skills and suspects that we are responsible. She refused to comply with providing a speech sample until threats of physical violence were issued. Cognitive assessment of non-language skills indicate a minor decline, likely due to subject’s difficulty adapting to non-language based thought. Day Three Speech Sample NA. Post-Interview Assessment Subject has been rendered fully nonverbal. Upon her discovery that the letters from her husband have become unintelligible to her, she has become unresponsive and has exhibited symptoms of severe depression. Effects of Substance P412 on morale appear to surpass expectations. Addendum 2: RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 4/5748 CLEARANCE ONLY Addenum 2: ACCESS GRANTED Incident Report: 5748-1 A Fifthist compound on Orkney was discovered to contain multiple verbally transmitted anomalous memes. Fifthists resisted attempts to negotiate and repelled an initial assault through the use of various anomalous capabilities, all of which appeared to be mediated by verbal commands. In order to avoid the use of more destructive methods, and the loss of life that would entail, a request to use SCP-5748 was made. This request was approved by Site Director Kristov under Protocol 17.45 and multiple SCP-5748-1 instances were fired into the compound. Twenty four hours later, Agents breached the compound and successfully contained all Fifthists present with no loss of life. A subsequent request for SCP-5748 to be reclassified as Thaumiel was denied by the Ethics Committee due to the deleterious effect on affected individuals' mental states following total loss of language skills. Addendum 3: RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 4/5748 CLEARANCE ONLY Addenum 3: ACCESS GRANTED Incident Report: 5748-2 A large scale breach of the Veil has occurred in the town of Durban, South Africa. A majority of the population has been infected with SCP-6111, an anomalously memetic religion that is highly transmissible via verbal or visual contact. It compels those infected to devote themselves to passing the memetic infection onto others, and to build large pyramidal structures. Research indicates it is carried via language, and would be unable to persist in non-lingual persons. A quarantine around the town of Durban has been created, however SCP-6111 still poses a high risk of spreading and the possibility of global contamination remains catastrophic. SCP-6111 has also developed an immunity to amnestics. Use of SCP-5748 was proposed and a vote on its use by the O5 Council passed 8 votes to 2, with 2 abstaining. Large quantities of SCP-5748 were airdropped across Durban over the course of several days and aerial surveillance has indicated the SCP-6111 infection has been Neutralized. Clean up operations across Durban are still ongoing, but the use of SCP-5748 appears to have been successful. All civilians encountered thus far show no desire to construct pyramids. EMERGENCY ALERT ALL FOUNDATION PERSONNEL BE ADVISED The Durban Incident has dramatically worsened and spread globally. SCP-5748 and SCP-6111 appear to have somehow combined into a new anomaly, preliminarily classed as SCP-5748-2. It retains SCP-6111’s high transmission rates but has taken on SCP-5748’s effect of rendering language incomprehensible. It appears to transmit via memetoturgic pathways and is estimated to currently infect 71.2% of the global human population. All uninfected personnel should ambersate directly to their nearest sacotogical defensive bassart. All prasonnate who have already been infected, stay calm and stay alarpal. You will not lose your self and you will psa die, only yab language mre be lost. The Foundation remains and will be plesad what we can to reverse mnaw.

SCP-5749 | neutralized | close Info X ⚠️ Content warning: This article contains death, both of an animal and of a person. ⚠️ content warning Item#: 5749 Level1 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: none Risk Class: none link to memo SCP-5749, prior to neutralization. Photo taken by a team of fishermen under SCP-5749's influence. Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-5749 is neutralized and its remains are non-anomalous, no containment procedures are necessary. Description: SCP-5749 was a lobster of the species Palinurus elephas, more commonly known as the European spiny lobster. SCP-5749 had developed an anomalous survival method through an unknown process. This survival method consisted of the changing of a person's intentions regarding SCP-5749. When a person who was both skilled at and motivated to perform a specific action to SCP-5749 entered within SCP-5749's vicinity1, they would lose all skill and motivation to perform said action. Instead, the affected individual would become exceptionally good at and motivated to perform a different action to SCP-5749 they were previously not interested in. SCP-5749 appears to have had used this ability to avoid being captured by fishermen in the area. SCP-5749 was discovered after reports of a "cursed fishing spot" that was reportedly impossible to trap in. These reports lead members of local fishing communities to attempt to trap in the area, eventually falling under SCP-5749's effects themselves, and further propagating the legend. Addendum 5749.01: Neutralization After several teams sent to contain SCP-5749 failed, a final attempt using a team of several janitors was sent with the hopes that the team's inexperience in containment would allow them to capture SCP-5749 without activating its effects. Improper background screening resulted in the inclusion of janitor Andrew Mercury, a former boy scout with experience in kayaking. Once the team had set out and acquired SCP-5749, Mercury fell under its effects upon being asked to row the team's kayak back to shore. Mercury proceeded to create a fire with his oars and attempt to cook SCP-5749 over the flame before being stopped by several other team members2. SCP-5749 was confirmed neutralized upon the team's arrival at shore, having succumbed to the heat of the flame before the team's intervention. Addendum 5749.02: Related Documentation 05/06/2021 SCP FOUNDATION INTERNAL TRIBUNAL DEPARTMENT The following is a record of the May 6, 2021 meeting of the Foundation Internal Tribunal Department re: SCP-5749's neutralization.

His execution has been scheduled for 05/12/2021. Addendum 5749.3: Related Files ▼File:ITD-investigation.log ▲Close file Following Andrew Mercury's execution, the following notice was sent out by the Internal Tribunal Department: 05/12/2021 SCP FOUNDATION INTERNAL TRIBUNAL DEPARTMENT The following is a note from the Foundation Internal Tribunal Department. The Internal Tribunal Department would like to issue a formal apology for the death of Andrew Mercury. Several rash, unthoughtful decisions were made and offending staff have been removed from the ITD. An investigation into the incident is being conducted. -Harper Corral, Esq., Internal Tribunal Department An investigation into the incident was launched by the Department, eventually being abandoned due to a lack of interest among investigators. The abrupt end of the investigation, as well as the circumstances surrounding the trials themselves warranted concern from former members of the SCP-5749 research team, who noted similarities between the incidents and cases of SCP-5749 influence. The research team presented this to the ITD, concluding that SCP-5749's anomalous effects had persisted after its death and that the ITD had fallen under its influence. This convinced the ITD to relaunch their investigation. Prior to the launch of the investigation, the evidence used in the Mercury trials was in transport to the ITD headquarters, and was stopped after the research team presented their hypothesis in order to prevent an activation of SCP-5749's effects, as SCP-5749's remains were among the evidence being transported. It was noted, however, that prior to being stopped, the driver of the transport vehicle maintained both her skill and motivation to drive. Experimentation soon followed, and it was determined that SCP-5749's remains are non-anomalous. Interviews with involved personnel confirmed that those involved in the trials had retained their motivation and skill during the trials, and that most of their actions had revolved around Mercury himself and not SCP-5749. Thus, it has been concluded that SCP-5749 is no longer anomalous. 06/01/2021 SCP FOUNDATION INTERNAL TRIBUNAL DEPARTMENT The following is a note from the Foundation Internal Tribunal Department. We found something. It's not SCP-5749 that's doing this. It's something else. It's a different fucking lobster. -Harper Corral, Esq., Internal Tribunal Department ▼File:SCP-5749-B-documentation.log ▲Close file Item#: 5749-B Level1 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: none Risk Class: none link to memo SCP-5749-B, shortly after discovery. It is unknown why anyone would take a photo of it. Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-5749-B is unnecessary. Description: SCP-5749-B is a lobster of the species Palinurus elephas, more commonly known as the European spiny lobster. SCP-5749-B has developed anomalous abilities through an irrelevant process. These abilities consist of the manipulation of a person's sense of importance and priorities. SCP-5749-B has the ability to manipulate people under its influence into believing that certain events or actions are more or less important than they would believe otherwise. SCP-5749-B was discovered during an investigation by the Internal Tribunal Department into the events of May 6-12, 2021. It was noted by members of the ITD and SCP-5749 research team that any inquiries into the trials themselves would be disregarded by investigators as unimportant, while inquiries into the death of SCP-5749 would be viewed as extremely important. An investigation team was sent to the location of SCP-5749's discovery to monitor for further anomalous effects, leading to the discovery of SCP-5749-B. SCP-5749-B appears to have used its effects to enact revenge on Foundation janitor Andrew Mercury for the death of SCP-5749. The reason for this is unknown. Footnotes 1. The exact radius of this vicinity is unknown, as all attempts to measure it by research teams have failed. 2. Mercury was reportedly displeased at the lack of proper cooking utensils, but attempted to "make do" with materials on the kayak. 3. This has not been found to be the ITD's policy regarding close votes of the council. 4. This has not been found to be Mercury's defense during the trial. 5. This has not been found to be the case. 6.

SCP-5750 | keter | Item#: 5750 Level3 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: amida Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures SCP-5750 is currently uncontained, and cannot be contained. Web crawlers have been instated to flag any complaints about SCP-5750, as this may leave evidence of its existence. As of 3/18/19, over 121 complaints have been flagged, all discredited and censored. Regardless of SCP-5750's un-containable properties, plans to protect normalcy have been maintained. An instance of SCP-5750-2 sold by GoI-1912, also known as "Thin Mints." Description: SCP-5750 is the collective designation for multiple words that hold memetic properties when used together in a sentence. This effect causes an individual to seek out and buy products from GoI-1912 ("Girl Scouts"). The effect lasts until the subject has spent at least $10 (USD) buying one of their products, or SCP-5750-2. Members of GoI-1912, now designated SCP-5750-1, have been shown to be completely immune to SCP-5750. SCP-5750-1 instances have been shown to have no recollection of the effect or their immunity of SCP-5750. SCP-5750-1 instances tend to be door to door sellers of SCP-5750-2, also known as "Girl Scout Cookies." Juliette Gordon Low, (the founder of GoI-1912,) has been designated PoI-1912. The Foundation has failed to capture PoI-1912, as all attempts close to success have ended in triggering the effect of SCP-5750. Further attempts have been set to low priority. Discovery: SCP-5750 was discovered on 06/05/19 when Junior Researcher Craig Clark reported that the words may have had anomalous properties. He stated the number of social media posts complaining about GoI-1912's sales tactics had increased. This increase directly correlates with the exponential growth of GoI-1912 since first discovered. Evidence of an anomaly was further backed up by counter-memetic filtering of the posts. Notes: SCP-5750-2 instances sold by SCP-5750-1 have no anomalous properties and are chemically similar to other brands of similarly flavored cookies. SCP-5750 is the only anomaly when it comes to the cookies, as combining the words (do not repeat) "Wanna buy girl scout cookies?" together in a spoken sentence triggers its effect. SCP-5750-1 instances only appear to target those with spending power high enough to afford their products. Addendum-SCP-5750.1: On 03/11/2019, Foundation web crawlers picked up a string of tweets from a user going by the handle @ImMonster539. The individual was brought into custody, amnesticized, and returned to his home. The tweets have been removed; however, personnel captured a screenshot before censoring it. The image is attached here: Removed tweets from an individual complaining about SCP-5750. Addendum-SCP-5750.2: On 03/07/2019, an incident was reported by Site Director Klaid Chandler. A note ended up in the mailbox of Chandler addressed to the Foundation. A transcription is attached below: To Snickerdoodles, Chocolate Chips and Piayas. It has come to the Girl Scout's attention that you are trying to facilitate capture of our leader. We would like to request you to stop. This is for your own good, as Juliette always said: "Peace until War." If you continue these attempts, it'll be more than war. Hope you like your cookies! Signed, Carla Josephine, Chief Communications Executive of the Girl Scouts. ~Carla@GirlScouts On top of this Chandler also received an email in which he responded to, both are held below: From Carla@GirlScouts Recipient(s) KChandler32@SCiPNet Hey, friend! Just in-case the previous message gets lost in transit!~ Your continued attempts at our leader will not stand. You don't want a war with us. We have a lot more than just cookies. I recommend you back down. Signed, Carla!~ From KChandler32@SCiPNet Recipient(s) Carla@GirlScouts Hello Carla. This in regards to your previous email. We will not be backing down. I speak for the whole Foundation when I say: You will lose. I promise you. Your leader is the lowest priority we have. Besides: We won't make a deal with a shady businesswoman.

Well, innocence. And respect. And court cases… More by this author! Item#: SCP-5751 Level4 Secondary Class: cernunnos Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo SCP-5751-3381-3. Special Containment Procedures: To contain SCP-5751, the Foundation would need to secure all instances of optical storage media worldwide and halt their further production. As such action would represent an enormous expenditure of funds and manpower, and attract considerable media attention, this approach is not presently under consideration.. Cernunnos-class objects can be contained by the Foundation, but the measures required to do so are impractical. In the event that solid-state media entirely replaces optical storage media, SCP-5751 may require reclassification. Until that point, except in cases relating to Foundation interests, minimal effort to acquire SCP-5751 instances will be made. A modest budget line exists for the purchase of storage media collections when necessary; collections held as evidence by law enforcement agencies should be acquired via impersonation of higher-level authorities or inter-agency cooperation (where possible). Instances of SCP-5751 are archived in High-Yield Data Storage Facility 4 at Site-43. Description: SCP-5751 is the phenomenon of additional items appearing in collections of disc-based storage media after their owner's death. The first SCP-5751 instances were 8-inch 'floppy' disks. The anomaly has since spread to 5¼-inch and 3½-inch disks, fixed disks, Zip disks, compact discs (CD-ROM), digital versatile discs (DVD), MiniDiscs, MiniDVD, LaserDiscs and Blu-Ray discs. SCP-5751-305. Upon the death of an individual possessing a disc collection numbering twenty items or more, there is a high probability that an SCP-5751 instance will manifest within it. The instance will contain sensitive digital information pertaining to the collection's owner; this can include images, documents, videos, and application-specific files. These files are not created by the anomaly, but rather restored; they were deleted or destroyed by the collection's owner at some point during their lives..See database entries for SCP-5751-1 and SCP-5751-5958 below for the evidence behind this assertion. The discs themselves are created by the anomaly, though they closely mimic other items in the same collection — to the point of matching their physical condition, such that instances originating outside of the Foundation often feature crude 'repairs' attempted by their discoverers to make them machine-readable. Every file on an instance of SCP-5751 carries negative moral or legal implications about its former owner. Pornography is common, particularly illegal varieties. Textual, photographic or video evidence of wrongdoing, internet browser histories suggesting antisocial proclivities or pursuits, and information stolen from other individuals are also common. In most cases the existence of SCP-5751 instances comes to Foundation attention when unusual revelations about the personal lives of celebrities or criminals occur immediately after their deaths. Addendum 5751-1, Partial Inventory: A representative sample of SCP-5751 instances retrieved from the Site-43 Network Database (43NET) is reproduced below. 43NET: Catalogue of SCP-5751 Instances [SELECTED] Item #: SCP-5751-1 Date: 05/14/1980 Description: Nineteen VISUS brand 5¼-inch floppy disks, each containing a single image file with lossy DCT compression. Each image depicts one of nineteen mutilated corpses. Notes: In 1979 Albanian filmmaker B. Prifti released The Wounded, a graphic horror film suspected to contain 'snuff' elements. The low lighting and lack of cast information precluded his arrest until 1980, when he suffered a heart attack after a drug overdose and was dead for three minutes before resuscitation. Police secured a search warrant for his apartment, hoping to find drug paraphernalia; they instead discovered the floppy disks, which contained images of the murdered actors of sufficient resolution for their identification. This evidence led to Prifti's execution in 1982. Inaugurating a log of these occurrences, accessible to all personnel at or above Level 2 clearance. This anomaly bears watching. [Scout, Dir. V.L.] Item #: SCP-5751-905 Date: 02/19/1999 Description: One VISUS brand 3 1/4" floppy disk, in poor condition due to inferior late-model materials. The disk contains a small portion of a previously-unknown early build of Portico 1.0, the operating system coded by software pioneer Mark Post which made his company a household name. Notes: After Post's death, the disk was discovered by his biographer who sold it to a reporter for the New York Times. Software analysis revealed that the code still contained comments from software engineers at Ananasoft Inc., indicating that it was actually plagiarized from the competing ANANASYS Cayenne operating system. Post was subsequently excised from his company's promotional material. So, what makes these things appear? Because they don't always appear. I'd like to get as many Sections looking at this as possible. [Blank, Dr. H.] Item #: SCP-5751-1853 Date: 11/17/2002 Description: One MCA DiscoVision LaserDisc containing an unremarkable record of the professional activities of deceased Senior Researcher Y. Serizawa at Site-77. Apparently it thinks we're cold and cruel. [Monti, T.] Been sitting on that one long, Timo? [Blank, Dr. H.] Item #: SCP-5751-2929 Date: 09/08/2015 Description: One non-rewritable Sony brand compact disc in factory fresh condition, complete with jewel case and labelled insert. The disc contains 691MB of legal, fetish pornography in .mp4 and .wmv format, immaculately catalogued in an included .txt file. Notes: Site-43 researcher Dr. Adrijan Zlatá was killed in Acroamatic Abatement Facility AAF-D by SCP-5243 on 09/08/2015. Security and Containment Section personnel discovered SCP-5751-2929 in his office that same day. Thanks to the time loop event that's killed Adrijan every year for half a decade, we've now got five copies of his deleted porn stash. I'm officially recommending we either dispose of his CD collection or open an adult video store. [Blank, Dr. H.] There's a tactical use for this anomaly, I just need to wrap my head around it. [Sokolsky, Dr. D.] The climate for that is bad right now, but climates change. If you think of something, let's talk. [Light, Dir. S.] Item #: SCP-5751-5760 Date: 04/25/2018 Description: One badly scratched rewritable Memorex brand DVD-ROM in the collection of Dr. D. Coutts, containing a decade-long record of transgressions against Class-D personnel beyond the requirements of his duties, and an electronic diary detailing planned future transgressions. Notes: After failing to prove Dr. Coutts' offenses to the Ethics Committee, Dr. T. Monti shot him dead in his living quarters at Site-77 and submitted the resulting disc as evidence. Dr. Monti then destroyed his own personal disc collection and committed suicide before Dr. Coutts' body was discovered. Wish I'd thought of this. Minus the suicide part. [Sokolsky, Dr. D.] It's like how people wipe their friends' embarrassing files after they die, only… the opposite. [Blank, Dr. H.] Bumping 5751 up to Clearance Level 4 to prevent similar incidents. [McInnis, Dir. A.] Item #: SCP-5751-5958 Date: 06/18/2020 Description: One damaged, rewritable Blu-Ray disc in the collection of D-11424, containing [DATA EXPUNGED]. Notes: D-11424 expressed satisfaction at the return of his files, remarking "I thought I'd lost these forever!" The files were subsequently confiscated. Eureka. Time to whip up a few proposals. [Sokolsky, Dr. D.] I'll be waiting. [Light, Dir. S.] I was hoping you'd both forgotten about this. [Blank, Dr. H.] Item #: SCP-5751-6018 Date: 09/30/2020 Description: One non-rewritable Blu-Ray disc containing unreported incidents from Foundation agent C. McDevitt's pre-employment history. Notes: Agent McDevitt and four other agents were working as moles within three separate cells of the Second Haptic Assembly group of interest. The appearance of a disc in her personal collection alerted her MTF commander to her death, and three of the four remaining agents were successfully extracted before their covers were also blown. Using it as a death signal. Clever. What happened to the fourth agent? [Blank, Dr. H.] They died first, and apparently gave up McDevitt under torture. Didn't generate a disc, so we didn't find out until it was too late. [Sokolsky, Dr. D.] I take it back. This isn't clever, it's idiotic. [Blank, Dr. H.] Item #: None Date: 10/07/2020 Description: N/A Notes: Five members of the Church of the Broken God, who had been acting as informants for the Foundation, were uncovered as traitors in early October 2020. They were able to escape to a safehouse in St. Petersburg to await extraction. Highest Priest Robert Bumaro confronted the O5 Council and demanded proof that the Foundation was uninvolved. The agents were disavowed by the Council and killed via airstrike, to preserve the tenuous truce between the two organizations. Disc collections had been prepared in advance to cover this eventuality; no new discs appeared, however. My call, yes, but not my fault. The odds were good; it'll work next time. [Sokolsky, Dr. D.] Gambler's fallacy, but we've come too far to stop now. [Light, Dir. S.] Sunk cost fallacy, but I'm not complaining. [Sokolsky, Dr. D.] Item #: SCP-5751-6396 Date: 10/28/2020 Description: One non-rewritable Blu-Ray disc containing technical specifications and field notes on a Chaos Insurgency installation. Notes: Embedded Foundation agent L. Royle performed a series of violent acts as part of his cover as a member of the Chaos Insurgency. He summarized these acts in a series of text files, including vital details about the staffing, armaments, and activities of the CI facility where he worked, deleted them, and subsequently committed suicide. The files were recovered from a Blu-Ray collection purchased in his name before the mission began. How much awful shit did Royle have to do to get us that info? And how did you convince him to commit suicide when he was done? [Blank, Dr. H.] 1) You don't want to know, and 2) the stuff you don't want to know about convinced him. [Sokolsky, Dr. D.] Item #: SCP-5751-6504 Date: 11/21/2020 Description: One hard disk drive containing 500GB of pornography images and video with metadata from thirty-four different personal computers, and one address book. Notes: Leipzig police executed a search warrant in 2009 against computer technician O. Lewandowski, on suspicion that he was acting as a broker for child pornography. All hard disk drives in Lewandowski's home were found to have been wiped clean, via magnetization. A second search warrant was issued after his death in 2020, whereupon a drive was found containing the aforementioned files. Information from the metadata and address book was used to bring forty-seven of Lewandowski's suppliers and customers to trial. Keep fighting the good fight, 5751. [Blank, Dr. H.] Never occurred to me HDDs would be affected. Hindsight, 2020 edition. [Sokolsky, Dr. D.] You're a tactical response specialist. You're supposed to have foresight. [Blank, Dr. H.] Item #: SCP-5751-6827 Date: 12/19/2020 Description: Five non-rewritable Blu-Ray discs containing Foundation data files. Notes: In late 2020 the Church of Maxwellism issued an ultimatum to the Foundation, demanding all information pertaining to SCP-5751. When this ultimatum was refused, Maxwellist operatives breached the security perimeter of Site-43 and successfully entered the underground facility. Dr. D. Sokolsky deleted all SCP-5751 data, which he had already condensed into five large files along with his detailed notes on the anomaly's practical applications. The demoralized Maxwellists were defeated, captured, and interrogated. They referred to SCP-5751 as "WAN's Leveller," a manifestation of their fragmented electronic god's sense of justice. Further investigation is pending the recovery of the files. Update: Following a series of voluntary medical procedures conducted on Dr. Sokolsky in late December of 2020, the missing data was recovered. Am I reading this wrong, Daniil, or did you let them kill and resuscitate you until all the data showed up in your Blu-Ray collection? [Blank, Dr. H.] You're reading it wrong. I asked them to kill and resuscitate me until all the data showed up in my Blu-Ray collection. [Sokolsky, Dr. D.] How many tries did that take? [Blank, Dr. H.] More than five. [Sokolsky, Dr. D.] You shouldn't be allowed to read SCP files anymore. [Blank, Dr. H.] Access SCiPNET Email? Two (2) new messages! Re: SCP-5751 To: Dr. Daniel ███████ From: Dr. Daniil Sokolsky CC: Dir. Sophia Light Date: 12/30/2020 Subject: Re: SCP-5751 Daniel, I think it's time to take this to the next level, but Sophia won't answer my emails. I'm therefore moving the SCP-5751 dossier into the Emergent Threat Tactical Response Authority's portfolio. In my capacity as a deputy director of ETTRA, I propose the following research questions: 1) Is 5751 really a fragment of WAN? 2) Does it only activate when PEOPLE die? What if we assigned a disc collection to an animal? What if we assigned a disc collection to an ORGANIZATION? 3) If we could acquire disc collections from people in unstable alternate timelines, would the new discs generate upon timeline collapse? Would that count as 'death' for 5751's purposes? 4) What if instead of securing all disc media collections, we forced everyone to have one? Everyone, in the world? Would that mean most K-class scenarios would now generate a massive archive on the combined atrocities committed by mankind? I am formally requesting access to the D-Class personnel pool. - Dr. D. Sokolsky, Site-43 To: Dr. Daniil Sokolsky From: Dr. Daniel ███████ CC: Dir. Sophia Light Date: 12/30/2020 Subject: Re: Re: SCP-5751 Daniil, I think it's time for you to take a vacation. 1) How would you test this? 2) Why would we want to know what awful things our cats have done? 3) Are you suggesting we use the deaths of entire universes as fact-finding missions? Or are you suggesting we cause the deaths of entire universes for fact-finding missions? The distinction is important to me. 4) HOW WOULD YOU TEST THIS. I am formally ordering you to get a medical checkup. I'm not 100% sure they properly restarted your heart last week. - Dr. Dan, ETTRA Command, Area-09 P.S. What about using a disc collection with a specific weight as a dead man's switch? Or making up a new format out of rare, esoteric, or even thaumaturgical materials, and using the anomaly to duplicate them? Or… NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION EMERGENT THREAT TACTICAL RESPONSE AUTHORITY The SCP-5751 database file and all information pertaining thereto are now under the exclusive purview of this office.

SCP-5752 | keter | Item#: 5752 Level4 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: danger link to memo Special Containment Procedures (as of 5 October 2025): Due to its distance from any dangerous anomalies, SCP-5752 is to remain at Site-17 in Basement Level 3 until further notice. SCP-5752 is to be kept in a padded humanoid containment chamber with cameras constantly monitoring her, as well as 2 guards stationed outside of her cell at all hours. Guards monitoring SCP-5752 are to have gone through mnestic training or have a natural resistance to L0-L3 antimemetic phenomenon. When handling SCP-5752, guards are to be preemptively stripped of weaponry and sharp objects. If SCP-5752 breaches her cell, Basement Levels 1-5 are to be locked down and searched until SCP-5752 or her remains have been recovered. Termination of SCP-5752 is to be considered a last resort and is not to be attempted unless clearance is given by L4 personnel or higher. In the event that either no traces of SCP-5752 have been found, or her corpse has been recovered, all Foundation properties are to be alerted that SCP-5752 is uncontained. If SCP-5752 is uncontained, various personnel in sites worldwide are to be administered Class-W mnestics and placed into surveillance teams to manually scrub through Foundation security feeds in order to search for and identify SCP-5752. If personnel L3 or under are discovered interacting with SCP-5752, they are to be amnesticized under standard information breach protocol. If SCP-5752's remains are recovered, they are to be submitted to the ███████████ Department for extensive analysis. Because of the likelihood of SCP-5752 causing mass containment breaches (along with the high likelihood of causing cascading breach events), the study, transcription, and containment efforts of SCP-5752 is to be overviewed by O5-4. Description: SCP-5752 is an as-of-yet unidentified female human in her mid-20s that is able to manifest in or nearby various locations. These locations must meet a certain criteria in order to be eligible for a potential manifestation event, with the criteria being but not limited to; having a history of anomalous occurrences. being the potential location where an anomalous occurrence will swiftly occur. containing, storing, and/or within the vicinity of anomalous items, lifeforms, locations, or events. containing, storing, and/or within the vicinity of dangerous, malicious, and/or deadly anomalies. having a deep history regarding the Foundation and its involvement in the anomalous world. When SCP-5752 manifests in one of these locations (which are most commonly Foundation sites), she will usually be dressed in clothes similar to those worn by Foundation staff, although she will not bear any official documentation such as ID badges, employee records, or other various staff paraphernalia. SCP-5752 has a series of secondary anomalies regarding her perception by both humans and public record. SCP-5752's identifying traits are unable to be plugged into Foundation security programs, meaning that despite SCP-5752's many manifestations, identification via avenues such as facial recognition software, DNA testing, retinal scans, and fingerprint analysis are all rendered useless. SCP-5752's manifestations also fail to trigger Foundation security protocol regarding unauthorized persons, as well as failing to trigger local Kant counters. SCP-5752 also lacks identity, with the scant information gained about her failing to match up with public records of any kind. SCP-5752 exhudes a passive antimemetic effect that causes humans to almost wholly disregard her, though this effect can be shattered through socially condemnable or publicly disruptive acts, such as being caught stealing or viewed panicking in a calm setting. This passive effect can also be avoided through Class-W mnestics and/or keeping a constant focus on SCP-5752. Despite these weak points, SCP-5752 has been able to surreptitiously navigate through facilities, mostly being identified in the aftermath of key incidents. SCP-5752 has varied knowledge of the Foundation as well as vague information regarding various anomalies in containment, login information to the SCiPNET database, and a vague understanding of Foundation operations and functions as a whole. How SCP-5752 is privy to this information is currently unknown under investigation under study for potential Foundation usage. Whenever SCP-5752 manifests, she will immediately attempt to find a specific anomaly and will use it to either severely influence, maim, or kill herself. If SCP-5752 interacts with a non-lethal anomaly, she will demanifest after an unspecified amount of time interacting with it1. If SCP-5752 is killed by an anomaly, her corpse and/or remains will not demanifest, instead losing their antimemetic properties and decaying at an average rate (unless the remains are consumed and/or assimilated by the anomaly in question). Through behavioral studies, it appears that SCP-5752 has a sense of continuous detachment from reality (See Addendums 5752.2 and 5752.3). Addendum 5752.1: Summarized List of Interactions2 Anomaly Involved Date of Interaction Description of Events State of Human Remains SCP-1128 2.4.1998 SCP-5752 manifested within Site-34's secure locker facility. Subject appeared exhausted and slumped as she walked between the rows of storage units. After wandering the halls for various hours, subject seemed to understand the basic layout of the facility. SCP-5752 then made an effort navigating to the locker that held the only contained copy of SCP-1128's description. After attempting to input an a passcode and failing twice, SCP-5752 paused before attempting a final time. Her system override was successful and she attained the description. After quickly reading through it, SCP-5752 placed it back in the locker, closing the door. SCP-5752 can then be seen running through the facility until she discovered a bathroom unit. She entered and was not seen exiting. Trace samples SCP-970 28.2.2002 SCP-5752 manifested in front of the entrance to SCP-970-22, an instance located in the west wing of the Dennen's Office Building in New Hampshire. SCP-5752 shook her head violently and pinched her arm a few times. Subject then entered the anomaly. As it was not guarded at the time, her manifestation was not accounted for until several hours had passed. Upon retrieval efforts, SCP-5752 was found deceased in the 376th iteration. Cause of death is unknown. Intact SCP-2747 c. March 2006 There is a significant lack of information regarding this incident, with the main instigator being that on 4 March 2006, Researcher Dennis O'Hara was recorded accessing the database to view records for SCP-2747. Despite the login data, Mr. O'Hara was not in the Department of Analytics due to calling out sick. As there is no footage or proof of SCP-5752 manifesting in or nearby the local site, Foundation researchers have hypothesized that SCP-5752 created a stable anafabula after accessing SCP-2747's documentation, thus annihilating herself from this reality. This hypothesis has yet to be disproved. None SCP-3183 august scp-5752 entered a hollow city made of itself. lost SCP-513 22.3.2007 SCP-5752 manifested in Site-12 before making her way down to one of the office floors. SCP-5752 then accesses a terminal containing the file for SCP-513. Subject then entered a nearby breakroom and quietly stole Dr. Frank Peravai's L3 keycard as he was reading. Subject then accessed SCP-513's chamber and paused for a moment before pushing into the gelatin block to retrieve the object. A containment breach was then enacted due to SCP-5752's passive effect faltering, allowing her to be perceived by those monitoring surveillance. Before she could be seized, SCP-5752 retrieved and rang SCP-513, exposing 17 members of staff to its effects. Before she could be apprehended, SCP-5752 doubled over in pain, with various bruises appearing over portions of her arms and legs before demanifesting. None SCP-5034 11.11.2010 SCP-5752 manifested within 20 feet of the nearest antique store currently holding SCP-5034. Subject loitered for approximately 30 minutes before entering the location. After reluctantly attempting to pick up a marble from the bowl,3 SCP-5752 attempted to retrieve multiple marbles at once. Approx. 5.2 litres of blood4 SCP-4807 14.10.2018 Despite not manifesting within Foundation jurisdiction, SCP-5752's corpse was spotted in an alleyway in Frascati, Italy. After being taken in by authorities, SCP-5752's death was ascribed to a mugging gone wrong, with her death occurring mere hours before discovery. Foundation mathematical models pointed to the murder as matching the criteria of an SCP-4807 event. Intact Addendum 5752.2: Interview On 2 September 2025, SCP-835 was seen entering an aggravated state, expelling massive amounts of waste into the surrounding waters. As Provisional Site-835 was undergoing breach protocol, SCP-5752 manifested amongst the chaos and was spotted attempting to hijack a submersible, with her intent likely being to make contact with SCP-835. As the subject was in the process of disengaging the submersible, she was apprehended by several members of MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") before being evacuated from Site-835 with the rest of the site staff. After quarantine and various medical tests, Dr. Maya Saunders was sent to interview SCP-5752, under the monitoring of O5-4. + Show Interview 1A - Close Interview 1A [BEGIN LOG] Dr. Saunders: Hello, SCP-5752. SCP-5752: Y-you have to let me out. You have to get me back to it. Right now. Dr. Saunders: Well, that's it, really. We're here to ask you some questions regarding your interf- SCP-5752: No, no, NO! You don't understand. I need to go back there, I have to let it grab me, I need to let it rip me to shreds, I need for it to get it over with so I can fucking get back to the surfa- Dr. Saunders: Well, I know you're in a rush to leave but at the very least I'd like to ask about why you've be- SCP-5752: No, you really don't get it, I need to get it done right now, if I don't then the more scared I'll be. I need to do it now, like pulling off a band-aid, I have to get it done with so the pain isn't as ba- Dr. Saunders: We already know what you do when you get your hands on our artifacts, SCP-5752. (Silence.) (Dr. Saunders pulls out a file. She opens it on the table between them and pulls out a series of photographs, laying them all out in front of both her and SCP-5752. They are all photographs of SCP-5752 over the years in various Sites, cordoned-off zones, and containment chambers, with some of the photographs dating back to the late 50s.) (Dr. Saunders removes her glasses and pinches the bridge of her nose. She sighs.) Dr. Saunders: You know, its taken me years to collect all of this data regarding your appearances. It was genuinely difficult, having such a small team manually scanning through everything just to catch a glimpse of your face in the footage. It didn't help that some of us had to be constantly dosing up on mnestics to try to pin you down in our records. (Dr. Saunders leans back in her chair, crossing her arms.) Dr. Saunders: I never actually thought I'd see the day where you'd be sitting in front of me like this. After decades of entering our facilities and taking advantage of breaches and passwords and loopholes in the system… I'm still surprised that you look exactly the same. Haven't aged a day. (SCP-5752 is silent for a moment, staring at the photos before her. SCP-5752 then mumbles something under her breath.) Dr. Saunders: I'm sorry, what was that? SCP-5752: Time… It actually passes for all of you here? Dr. Saunders: Well, yes. Of course it would. How else does time flow? (SCP-5752 stares down at the photographs once more.) SCP-5752: I don't know. Dreams aren't supposed to work like this. Dr. Saunders: Dreams… Do you believe that you are dreaming, SCP-5752? SCP-5752: Yes. I am dreaming. None of this is real. Dr. Saunders: So you fully believe that you are dreaming up all of this? SCP-5752: N-no, I know that I am. Dr. Saunders: How are you so sure of that? SCP-5752: If I were dreaming, I would have a sense of control. If this was my dream and my dream alone then I would be able to twist and churn and make it up as I go along. I could give myself superpowers, I could fly, or at the very least I could wake myself up whenever I would like. But this is not my dream. I have no control over any of it. It's very hard to get tangled up in your own dreams, but you can easily get drawn into others'. SCP-5752: If this were my dream, and my dream alone, then I would be able to just… dream of something else. I wouldn't have to go through the cycle of just starting in a new place before throwing myself into the meat grinder. Dr. Saunders: We'd also like to ask you about that - why do you keep hurting yourself like this? Why do you keep throwing yourself at these horrible things? (There is another long pause.) Dr. Saunders: Is it because you're upset? Is it something we can help with? SCP-5752, if something is wrong you can tell us, we can get you any help you need - we have the resources. You just have to tell us. SCP-5752: I do it because its the only way for me to wake up. Dr. Saunders: From the dream? SCP-5752: Yes, exactly, from this whole… this entire thing. It's the usual logic - you're being chased and you wake up before the thing grabs you, you're thrown off a mountain and awaken before you hit the ground. It's exactly the same, and I… it's the only way that they let me go. I have to experience it, as much as I can, and when I do, they let me go. Dr. Saunders: You keep alluding to a "they", and I wanted to come back to that topic. You hinted that this is someone else's dream and not your own. Do you know who else's dream this is? SCP-5752: Yes. Dr. Saunders: Can you tell me? (SCP-5752 does not respond to further prompting.) [END LOG] After a psychological evaluation, SCP-5752 was placed under intensive care as well as suicide watch due to her volatile behavioral shifts and multiple attempts at self-termination. Addendum 5752.3: Recovered Article On 29 February 2028, SCP-5752 was found reading a newspaper in her cell. It was quickly confiscated by guards and was transferred to Site-17's research group. When reviewing security footage, SCP-5752 was viewed with her back to the wall, reaching her hand behind her and pulling out the newspaper. When questioned, SCP-5752 denied that this action was voluntary. The newspaper was labelled "The Kennebec Journal," a January 2022 edition. It showed no abnormalities except for an article on page 17 in a column adjacent to the "Obituary" section. The article depicts a smiling photo of SCP-5752 and reads as follows: YOUNG WOMAN COMATOSE, FAMILY PLEADS FOR ANSWERS by Garrison Blake Neighbors in the town of Dawson, Maine, are still baffled at the circumstances regarding the hospitalization of Ms. Evelyn Creely, with the young woman's family still at a loss for words. On November 22, 2021, Evelyn was found laying in her bedroom when her mother attempted to wake her up for work. Mrs. Diana Creely was concerned as her daughter was late for her shift at the local nursing home, and she was surprised at how Evelyn apparently slept through the entire morning and early afternoon. After Evelyn didn't respond to her mother's attempts to wake her, emergency services were called to the Creelys' home in order to transport their daughter to St. John's Hospital on the outer edges of Dawson. When interviewing Mr. Jason Creely, he said that there was still no exact explanation as to why his daughter was unable to awaken. "The doctors couldn't find a reason for any of it, they're all baffled," he stated. "All they could tell us is that her brain is still working just fine. For all we saw, she's just fast asleep. The nurses kept saying that there aren't any visible abnormalities that could've just sent her under like this." Evelyn was known to be a quiet yet informative and well-read young woman, with her friends describing her as "driven by stories." Her favorite genres were mystery, horror, and science fiction, with her mother describing how she would spend hours on writing forums, attempting to spin her own tales. A fundraiser and vigil will be held this upcoming Saturday on the corner of Sackett and Rhyne in order to raise awareness and money to help the Creelys cover their medical bills. SCP-5752's containment protocol is to be debated in regards to the Swann Protocol during the upcoming Ethics Committee meeting on 15 March 2028. Footnotes 1. This time limit has been viewed to be rather random, with the shortest recorded instance being 2 minutes, and the longest amounting to approximately 4 days. 2. A complete timeline and record of events can be accessed through the ███████████ Department. Please contact your Site Director in order to submit a request of information. 3. Resulted in the loss of her right arm. 4. At least she died quickly. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5752" by Quicksilvers, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5753 | keter | Item #: SCP-5753 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents embedded as cast members at the Walt Disney World Resort are to screen potential guests for traits that could trigger a Rolly event. This is accomplished by running the individual through a background check via an available Foundation operated web-analysis bot. All flagged individuals are to be monitored by embedded agents utilizing the Reedy Creek Improvement District security network around the Magic Kingdom park and resorts for surveillance. Should a flagged individual trigger a Rolly event, agents are to be dispatched to Location-5753 and discretely apply low grade amnestics to all affected guests. Following dispersal, guests are to be offered any number of enticements, including free FastPass queue tickets and upgraded dining and resort reservations. Description: SCP-5753 is a phenomenon that occasionally occurs when a paying customer of the Walt Disney World, who fulfills certain pre-existing criteria, attempts to ride the It’s A Small World attraction, otherwise known as Location-5753. These criteria are: Strong public investment in far-right or far-left politics Anti-social tendencies Anti-corporate sensibilities Professed cynicism Appreciation of waterfowl If an affected person attempts to board the attraction, 70% of the time the ride experience will be normal; 30% of the time a Rolly event will occur, and the ride’s pre-existing path will diverge, turning off into an extradimensional alternate path directly following the South America room. This space does not exist on any Disney Parks maps, and theoretically should cut directly into the kitchen of the nearby Pinocchio Village Haus restaurant. Once inside, the boat containing the affected guest is briefly treated to a display which, while disturbing in content, is otherwise non-anomalous and could be theoretically produced by engineers at the Disney corporation or related contractors. The initial appearance of this alternate space is consistent with the ride, displaying the same pastel walls, repeated playback of “It’s A Small World” and Mary Blair-designed rudimentary animatronics. However, a small sign visible on a platform can be seen, reading “Abandon All Yolk, Ye Who Enter Here,” and once the space is entered, an automatic door will close behind the guests, preventing egress. The attraction’s music will then display divergent lyrics compared to those originally composed by the Sherman brothers, which are as follows: “You will die alone, you stupid fuck/You will end up on the streets and I wish you luck/You will have no friends except your dumb pet duck/It’s a small, small world.” Following this, a voice imitating a Southern accent will exclaim “Yee-haw!” on the downbeat, the music pauses, and the attraction lights go out. After a pause of about 5 seconds in darkness and silence, strobe lights slam on, and a double-time house/techno remix of “It’s A Small World,” with significant bluegrass instrumentation, begins to play. The animatronics are rotated out for ones that hold small wooden knives and hatchets. These bobble around erratically to the music at high speed, roughly miming stabbings and decapitations. The boat picks up speed, reaching nearly 60 miles an hour, and the guest enters a dark ride depicting animatronics of various characters from Disney franchises, dressed as farmers, peasants, and stereotypical American “rednecks," violently assaulting Donald Duck. These displays are seemingly rotated out between Rolly events, so that a Moana animatronic seen by one affected guest might instead be replaced by an Iron Man animatronic seen by another. At the end of a tunnel containing roughly six dioramas, the boat halts and the guests are confronted by a screen displaying an animation of Mickey Mouse and Goofy as French peasants preparing to kill an aristocratic Donald Duck via guillotine. The film is animated in the style of veteran Disney animators Milt Kahl and Ward Kimball. In it, Mickey, appearing to be voiced by long-time performer Wayne Allwine, berates Goofy by calling him an “asshat” and exhortes him to “send this bourgeois neoliberal straight to duck hell.” Donald protests to no avail. Goofy laughs, expresses his hope that Donald’s nephews starve on the street, does an elaborate handshake with Mickey that finishes in imitated flatulence, and dispatches Donald in gory fashion. The guests are then sprayed with a fine mist of poultry blood, the remixed music ceases, and then the boat is promptly deposited back in the South Pacific section of It’s A Small World to finish the ride. As it leaves the space, a voice matching deceased voice actor Thurl Ravenscroft announces various lines, including “Did you know ducks have violent corkscrew sex, and their vast quantities of shit destroy pond life? Now you know.” and “Wow-wee! Now that’s what I call inferno! It’s not too late to give up your poultry!” Attempts by agents to breach the inside of Location-5753 during a Rolly event have failed. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5753" by LordStonefish, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5754 | keter | hungrypossum Read more of my stuff here! Enjoy! Item#: 5754 Level3 Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: danger link to memo Special Containment Procedures: Foundation personnel embedded in public health institutions should report any increase in alopecia1 and hypertrichosis2 cases. Patients confirmed to have accepted SCP-5754's offer will be taken into Foundation custody under the pretext of an exotic viral infection, and contained in a Standard Humanoid Containment Chamber until expiration. A media campaign portraying traveling salespersons and their products as unreliable and dishonest is currently being disseminated. Description: SCP-5754 is a humanoid entity of varying appearance, posing as a door-to-door salesperson. The entity will randomly manifest in front of homes, preponderently in the USA, Canada, and western Europe. The only commonalities between manifestations are its formal attire and a complete lack of visible hair. When a person (further referred to as "the client") answers the door, SCP-5754 will start a sales pitch for an object, emotion or concept the client intensely desires. After the sales pitch concludes, SCP-5754 will materialize a contract and a pen from its coat's inner pocket, and will present the client with a weekly subscription fee; said fee will always be a measure of length, normally ranging from eight to fourteen meters (or the equivalent in other measurements), however, no material is mentioned. If at any point the client expresses their disinterest concerning the product, the entity will briefly apologize for the inconvenience, and demanifest upon the client closing the door. In this case, the client will not be subject to further anomalous events. If the client agrees to the weekly fee and signs the contract, SCP-5754 will state the purchased items will be delivered within the week, after which it will similarly demanifest upon the client closing the door. From this point forward, the client will undergo a series of anomalous changes: Stage Timeframe Description 0 Days 0-1 Subjects materialize hair strands in their mouths when eating; this is usually ignored, or attributed to negligence during food preparation. 1 Days 2-4 Hair detached during the process of washing, brushing or combing demanifests when unobserved. Subjects who purchased an emotion from SCP-5754 begin to feel the respective emotion, albeit at a negligible rate. 2 Days 5-9 Subjects display early signs of alopecia (usually restricted to the scalp), with an estimated 30% also showing increased hair growth on their bodies. All detached hair demanifests when unobserved. Subjects receive incremental amounts of the purchased product, or increased opportunities to acquire it.3 3 Day 10 Subjects lose all hair, which immediately demanifests. New hair growth starts at an accelerated rate, though this is shed as well once it reaches 5 cm in length. The process repeats until the cessation of all anomalous effects. 4 Day 11 Subjects start continuously regurgitating large amounts of hair, as well as expelling hair through other orifices. Subjects expire as a result of asphyxia. Anomalous effects cease after this point. Addendum 1 On 21/05/2013, Foundation operatives working at Appleton HealthCare System outfitted Sean Brighton, a patient undergoing Stage 2 of SCP-5754's anomalous influence, with a hidden camera and microphone under the pretext of monitoring vitals and environmental factors. Three days later, the device recorded the following event: START LOG Brighton is sitting on the couch, reading a magazine. Suddenly, he stands up and brings his hands to his throat, as if struggling to breathe. He runs to the bathroom and, after a minute of coughing and gagging, he expels approximately 30 cm of hair. Brighton: What the fuck? Whe- He starts gagging again, during which SCP-5754 is caught on camera in front of the bathroom. Subsequent video analysis shows that its suit is composed of fibers resembling human hair. Brighton starts regurgitating hair continuously, displaying difficulties in breathing. SCP-5754: sighs I'll never get used to this. Good afternoon, Mr. Brighton! It has come to my attention that you haven't been paying the agreed upon amount, as stated in the contract. Could you please clarify this situation for me? Brighton: ten seconds of muffled gagging SCP-5754: Please, sir, there's no need for such hostilities. I'm just asking that you respect your end of the deal. Look, it's wri- Brighton: violently gags SCP-5754: Look man, I'm just trying to make ends meet here too, alright? I've gotta make a living somehow, and if all my sales end up with the client not paying, my boss is gonna chew me up and spit me out, quite literally so. 15 seconds pause. Expelled hair is mixed with Brighton's stomach's contents. Hair strands start to become visible under his left eyeball. SCP-5754: I-I'm sorry it has come to this, but you can't just get what you bought and pay less than a third of the price. That's not how sales work. Hair begins to come out of Brighton's nasal cavities. His eyes have popped out, and hair is pouring out of his eye sockets. SCP-5754: You already got what you bargained for, right? You got that raise just yesterday, you even got that e-mail about some long forgotten uncle leaving you a nice inheritance, which, by the way, was a little bonus from us. I think we're being more than reasonable here, sir, so please show us the same courtesy. 10 seconds pause. Brighton stops breathing. SCP-5754: Well, if there's no further issues, I'll be on my way. Thank you for your patronage, good sir! Have a wonderful day! SCP-5754 demanifests. Brighton expires two minutes later due to asphyxia. END LOG Footnotes 1. Loss of hair from part of the head or body. 2. Excessive hair growth. 3. For instance, subjects who desired monetary gains are offered a pay raise or better job opportunity; others who desired romantic connections meet a person who becomes increasingly close to them. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5754" by hungrypossum, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5755 | euclid | Item#: 5755 Level4 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: critical link to memo SCP-5755 in the Haron family household. Item #: SCP-5755 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5755 is to be kept in a locked containment storage unit in Site-207 and guarded by at least two security personnel at all times. Only researchers of Level-3 Clearance and above are permitted to grant clearance requests. Activation of SCP-5755 is prohibited outside of approved research. Any audible contact made by SCP-5755 while in its inactive state is to be reported to the head researcher. Description: SCP-5755 is a 2m, 4k quality picture, unbranded television with a remote. The screen of SCP-5755 produces audio despite lacking integrated speakers. SCP-5755 automatically repairs any damage to its surface or housing within 24 hours of the damaging incident. The mechanism behind the repairs is unknown. When activated, SCP-5755 will emit audio and visual static until a channel is selected. Only one channel is available for selection, labeled as “Damned,” which will present footage of the interior of a tidy suburban home. The footage lasts 22 hours, from 5:00 AM to 3:00 AM. The footage persists with a straight camera angle of the living area; the angle never moves or changes. After the footage reaches its conclusion, SCP-5755 will deactivate until it is activated again. Upon subsequent activation, the footage will repeat the same twenty-two hour period. The footage showcases a family of four, designated SCP-5755-A through SCP-5755-D, making their daily commute throughout the house. SCP-5755 was discovered on 09/08/2019 in a burnt down suburban house in Spring lakes, Seattle by recovery teams of the fire department. SCP-5755 was recovered in pristine condition. It was held by the county to be auctioned off as the residents had no surviving family members. The object came to the Foundation’s attention when reports of “banging” coming from within the screen and handprints appearing on the screen were made to authorities. Class B amnestics were administered to county employees that were aware of the anomaly, and SCP-5755 was taken into Foundation custody. + SCP-5755-A DESC. - Close SCP-5755-A is a European-American male, 35 years of age, with a height of 1.7m and a weight estimated to be 160kg. SCP-5755-A's behavioral pattern is highly manipulative and violent toward his family. SCP-5755-A's schedule consists of leaving for work at 9:07 AM and returning to the house at 5:35 PM. + SCP-5755-B DESC. - Close SCP-5755-B is a European-American female, 32 years of age, with a height of 1.5m and an estimated weight of 135kg. SCP-5755-B is submissive and often displays emotional distress in the presence of SCP-5755-A. She shows obsessive affection towards all of the family members. SCP-5755-B schedule consists of leaving for work at 8:30 AM and returning to the house at 4:27 PM. + SCP-5755-C DESC. - Close SCP-5755-C is an American male, 17 years of age, with a height of 1.7m, and an estimated weight of 72kg. SCP-5755-C is dominant and controlling towards all family members except SCP-5755-A. SCP-5755-C's schedule consists of babysitting SCP-5755-D, but has been observed to be negligent and often remains in his own room. + SCP-5755-D DESC. - Close SCP-5755-D is an American male, 14 years of age, with a regular height, and body build for his age. SCP-5755-D is typically seen wearing a black and white hoodie with long black cargo pants. SCP-5755-D is the only individual that is self-aware about his current situation within SCP-5755. He is capable of recalling events from previous activations of SCP-5755. SCP-5755-D can consistently view the Foundation through the screen, and it refers to the screen as a window. SCP-5755-D's name is Jason Haron and was part of the Haron family when the fire burnt down the property. Jason Haron's corpse was found and identified. + Footage & Audio logs - Close Replay # Notable Events Replay 002 SCP-5755-A prepares himself a meal while repeatedly demanding that -B tell him where his briefcase is. SCP-5755-B responds swiftly. SCP-5755-C and -D were observed to walk into the living room at a slow pace. SCP-5755-D displays curiosity asking what the family was watching on the television (referring to the researchers notating the footage). No one in the family responds except for SCP-5755-B who chuckled and stated that the television was off. SCP-5755-D expresses confusion. He goes on to describe a sense of déjà vu of the morning events. SCP-5755-C states to -D "nobody gives a shit", which caused -C to be yelled at by -A for swearing. SCP-5755-B attempted to calm -A but resulted in a harsh reaction from -A, which left her sobbing. SCP-5755-B cleaned herself up, and both her and -A leave for their jobs. Subjects SCP-5755-C and -D stay in their house. The rest of the day consisted of SCP-5755-C and -D doing their daily activities before -A and -B return to the house. Replay 003 SCP-5755-D expressed concern about the same events occurring from the last replay and questioned it to everyone about the situation. He acknowledged the Foundation staff observing the events through SCP-5755 and notes that they were “different from last time.”. SCP-5755-C gave the same response and the previous events mentioned in Replay 002 have then occurred. Around 1:14 PM, SCP-5755-C was observed to approach -D and accused him of lying. SCP-5755-D tries to explain himself but it resulted in him being threatened violently by -C. Replay 006 SCP-5755-D expressed curiosity toward the research team and attempted to communicate with them. Eventually, -D managed to get the team's attention and had an interview with Dr. Hunter Graves. (See interview below) Access document-5755-Vl-006 - Audio Log Interviewed: SCP-5755-D Interviewer: Researcher Dr. Hunter Graves Foreword: Five weeks after initial containment, research teams discussed ways to aid SCP-5755-D in order to understand how SCP-5755 works. An interview was set up for understanding SCP-5755 and informing -D about his situation. <BEGIN LOG> Dr. Graves: Greetings SCP-, (Pauses) my apology, please state your name? SCP-5755-D: Uh-Uhm, Jason, Jason Haron. I-I'm sorry, but you have something to do with this, don't you? This loop or whatever it is? Dr. Graves: We didn't cause the loop, Jason. I know this would be difficult to understand, but (Pauses) you are contained within an unknown device that resembles that of a modern television. The loops you've been experiencing were due to us activating this device and re-watching the film for any hints on how it operates. Unfortunately, you seem to be the only self-aware individual that can recall all previous replays. We dearly apologize for the stress Jason but know we are just trying to help. SCP-5755-D: (Silence) Dr. Graves: Jason? SCP-5755: (Erupts in static momentarily) SCP-5755-D: Wha-what! I'm trapped in a fucking TV? How though? (Whisper) 'Could've been what I did?' Let me out, please! Dr. Graves: It's ok Jason, we can get through this. We have two questions for you to answer if you don't mind. SCP-5755-D: Ok (calms down) ok, what are they? Dr. Graves: What is your earliest memory from being outside this loop? SCP-5755-D: Earliest? I don't really…. burning. Smoking. A bright light. Do I deserve this? Dr. Graves: Woah woah, Jason, are you ok? So, you remember the fire. I'm sorry about that. Jason, if you need to we can appoint a therapist for you to talk to about these problems. I apologize if I bring up anything but do you remember the outcome of the fire? SCP-5755-D: Yea… I was rescued. Dr. Graves: Rescued?… Then what happened? SCP-5755-D: Well I woke up in this house, and that's it. Dr. Graves: All right, second question. Your family seems rather… aggressive. Were they always like this? Prior to this whole incident? SCP-5755-D: (Silence) SCP-5755: (Erupts in static momentarily) Dr. Graves: Jason, are you all right? Do you not know them? SCP-5755-D: (Begins sobbing) I don't deserve to be with them. Dr. Graves: What do you mean you don't deserve to be with them? SCP-5755-D: (Silence) Dr. Graves: Ok then, that's all we have for today. Jason, if you need anything, we are here for you. We will try our best to help you. <END LOG> Closing Statement: The interview ended with SCP-5755-D being more agitated. Dr. Hunter Graves states that the final questions may have triggered him. SCP-5755-D was now fully aware of his situation. Dr. Hunter Graves reviewed the incident involving the Haron family's house burning down. All of the house's residents were deceased, including SCP-5755-D. -D seemed to be unaware of that fact. Replay 011 SCP-5755-D expressed high emotional distress. SCP-5755-C walked into the living area to see -D crying. SCP-5755-D attempted to convince -C of the family's situation, and pleads for -C to trust him. SCP-5755-C gave a cruel remark and began assaulting -D violently, whilst -D was still attempting to negotiate. All negotiations were unsuccessful. Replay 019 SCP-5755-D woke up at 5:34 AM despite his usual waking schedule between 9:00 AM and 12:00 AM. SCP-5755-D was observed to sit on the couch and to start sobbing uncontrollably. He began babbling incoherently and whisper phrases that mimicked each family member's voice lines. SCP-5755-C walked into view and remarked as to how -D knew what phrases are said before they are said. SCP-5755-D attempted to empathize with -C as a factor for -C to trust him. SCP-5755-D discussed with -C, -A's actions. SCP-5755-C became defensive, and it resulted in -D being assaulted. SCP-5755-C accused -D of lying and teasing. SCP-5755-D laid on the ground after the attack ended. SCP-5755-D without his facial expression, began sobbing quietly. Replay 026 SCP-5755-D expressed suicidal tendencies through several actions that solidify his current state. These actions include self-harm, high emotional distress, and SCP-5755-D verbally expressing interest in death. Dr. Hunter Graves requested another interview but was denied by SCP-5755-D for unknown reasons. Replay 028 SCP-5755-D was observed to set up a noose whilst staring at the researchers. SCP-5755-D then proceeded to hang himself in silence. Dr. Graves attempted to interfere with the event by attempting to catch SCP-5755-D's attention, but the attempts were unsuccessful. SCP-5755-D was seen deceased throughout the rest of the replay. Replay 029 - 38 Over the nine following days, SCP-5755-D committed suicide through several different methods. SCP-5755-D can be seen agitated throughout each replay as his attempts were unsuccessful. All suicides lead to the family calling the authorities for a suicide report. Replay 044 SCP-5755-D woke up six minutes after the footage began and grabbed a kitchen knife from the kitchen and walks down a hallway, not within the view of the television. SCP-5755-D returns drenched in blood and proceeded to sit on the couch, facing directly towards the researchers calmly. SCP-5755-D requests another interview to take place. The request was granted by the project director. It was apparent that SCP-5755-D was mentally unstable, as shown through his actions. Access document-5755-Vl-044 - Audio Log Interviewed: SCP-5755-D Interviewer: Researcher Dr Hunter Graves Foreword: The goal of this interview was to calm SCP-5755-D from his current state, and to understand his situation. <BEGIN LOG> SCP-5755-D: Hello doctor, how have you been? Dr. Graves: Jason! We are trying to assist you. Violent actions will not be tolerated! SCP-5755-D: Who cares anyway? They're just going to come back again and again and again and again. They aren't even my (Air quotes) REAL family. Sure they look like it but they are just so annoying! Dr. Graves: (Raises voice) That still doesn't justify your actions! What heinous act did you commit to grant you in SCP-5755? (Silence) SCP-5755-D: SCP-5755?… Dr. Graves: I… my apologies, I mean this TV. What did you d- SCP-5755-D: Am I a fucking experiment? Dr. Graves: Jason, this isn't important. Answer the question! SCP-5755-D: (Raises his voice) WHERE AM I RIGHT NOW? Dr. Graves: Look, Jason, I understand. You're scared and alone. We are tr- SCP-5755-D: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING! Dr. Graves: (Silence) SCP-5755-D: I also don't understand anything about you sick people. No-one can save me from this fucking hell! I know you don't want to. All you want to do is… I DON'T KNOW, FUCK AROUND WITH THIS TV! Dr. Graves: Jason, we tried. We really did try. But at this point, attempting to free you isn't in our current interests. SCP-5755-D: It never was, was it? Dr. Graves: (Silence) SCP-5755-D: We're done now. <END LOG> Replay 049 – 064 SCP-5755-D gave up escaping from SCP-5755. He has been observed taking chaotic actions, presumably due to the lack of consequences. These actions all share a common attribute with SCP-5755-D committing heinous and unnecessary acts. Replay 065 SCP-5755-D was observed seated on the living room couch for 19 hours. Three hooded figures surrounded him for all of that time. The hooded figures chanted 'Sinner' quietly throughout the footage. The voices were recognized and identified to be SCP-5755-D's current family. SCP-5755-D attempted to reason with the robed figures through begs and pleads; all attempts were unsuccessful. SCP-5755-D was last observed to crawl into a fetal position, sobbing as the chanting grow louder. When the footage ended an audible deafening wail can be heard when SCP-5755 was deactivating. At 4:47 AM, staff reported hearing persistent banging from SCP-5755's screen, which escalated quickly, eventually the screen shattered completely. SCP-5755 repaired itself after the event. + LEVEL 4 ACCESS REQUIRED - ACCESS GRANTED (Document-5755-Vl - Replay 066) Replay 066 The "Damned" footage is no longer available, and several new channels appeared each labeled 'Source' followed by a six-digit number. When a channel is selected, the static of SCP-5755 worsens and increases in volume. Researchers reported hearing individuals in extremely high distress as wails and screams are apparent. Each channel houses a different voice that is wailing in pain, leading researchers to believe that multiple victims of SCP-5755 are contained within the object permanently. The individual within a specific channel seems to be aware of the Foundations' presence and begins banging on the screen of SCP-5755 and beg for their aid. The most recent channel added was labeled "Source 012756" and listened to be a male screaming and crying specific names; including Henry, Mom, and Dad. The voice was recognized as SCP-5755-D. "Mom" and "dad" are presumed to reference subjects SCP-5755-B and SCP-5755-A. Henry has yet to be identified. The channel menu reads "Looking For New Source…" followed by an ongoing throbber. Note from O5-█ (12/16/2019): SCP-5755 is still shrouded in mystery. It is still unknown, as to how or why SCP-5755-D got imprisoned within the object. The bigger issue, however, is SCP-5755 looking for a new "source". Which we've deducted to be another victim. As of 12/16/2019, SCP-5755 is still searching. Heavy caution is advised when around the object. All further research has been discontinued per request of Dr. Graves, until further notice. If any tapping is heard from SCP-5755 screen, please report it to the site manager. Final note, for your own safety, please avoid committing any acts perceived as 'bad' around SCP-5755. |

border-image-width: 6; padding: 2vw; } Item#: SCP-5756 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: notice link to memo SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: Occurrences of SCP-5756 are to be reported to the Chief of Security and Containment (presently, R. Pensak), and affected items confiscated thereby. UPDATE 2017/09/10: Technician JM64 is hereby prohibited from using SCP-5756-A..What he doesn't know can't hurt him — Ibanez, Chief D. SCP-5756-A (left). DESCRIPTION: SCP-5756 is a phenomenon affecting Personal Storage Locker 4B of Site-43's Janitorial and Maintenance Section (hereafter SCP-5756-A). Annually, items stored within SCP-5756-A are corrupted by SCP-5756. This phenomenon is rare and poorly-understood. DISCOVERY: After completing his shift on 2013/09/07, Technician JM64, Philip E. Deering returned his custodial uniform, work-boots, and ID Card to his designated Personal Storage Locker. JM64 then retired to his quarters for the evening and remained there the following day as per annual protocol. Prior to his next shift, JM64 accessed his storage locker to find that, from the waist-down, his required uniform had been converted into a red lab coat. He reported this occurrence to his supervisor, who observed that the converted material was typical of standard Applied Occultism vestments..Site-43's Applied Occultism Section studies the practical use of esoteric materials. ADDENDUM 5756-1, Incident Logs: Further SCP-5756 occurrences are listed below. INCIDENT LOG 5756-B DATE: 2014/09/09 OFFICER OF RECORD: D. Ibanez (Chief Without Portfolio).Chief Ibanez had recently resigned from her Security and Containment position; this was her last duty prior to reassignment. SUMMARY: Two days prior to the incident, JM64 returned the same set of items to his locker as he had a year before; additionally, he left a slice of cake from a staff event, forgetting that he would not be allowed to retrieve it the next day. Upon his return, he discovered that the cake was missing, and one of his work-boots had been replaced with a worn leather shoe. JM64 reported a strange sense of familiarity, though this was soon replaced by disappointment at the lack of cake. NOTE: Incident occurred exactly one year after the previous; relation to other containment activity unknown. Technician Deering is allowed to continue using SCP-5756-A so long as he reports any other occurrences. INCIDENT LOG 5756-C DATE: 2015/09/09 OFFICER OF RECORD: R. Pensak (Chief of Security and Containment) SUMMARY: As per the previous year, JM64 returned his typical items to his locker. As suggested by Chief Pensak, a digital camera was also placed within SCP-5756-A. JM64 returned to find his ID card snapped in two; however, the pieces instead displayed an image of his brother and former researcher in Applied Occultism, Dr. Dougall Deering. No other items were affected, and the camera was retrieved successfully. JM64 reported frustration as he had attempted to contact his brother several times in the past decade, to no avail. NOTE: Analysis of the affected item demonstrates inconsistencies with standard ID cards; namely, the photo of Dr. D. Deering appears to have been taken several years after his last known photo. Retrieved footage is restricted to Level 4 Clearance or higher. JM64 will be provided a new ID card, and will not be made aware of his brother's death in 2002. INCIDENT LOG 5756-D DATE: 2017/09/09 OFFICER OF RECORD: R. Pensak (Chief of Security and Containment) SUMMARY: This year, among his typical belongings, JM64 stored his watch in his locker. As suggested by Chief Pensak, a pen and stationery were also placed within SCP-5756-A. Upon his return, the face of JM64's watch had been shattered, and its other surfaces scratched or dulled such that it was non-reflective. The pen was missing, and the stationery read: "I know that's not you". NOTE: Machine-analysis of the stationery detected a 92% match to Dr. D. Deering's handwriting. UPDATE 2017/09/10: JM64 has been assigned a new Personal Storage Locker. SCP-5756-A is only to be used by cleared personnel from now on. — D. Ibanez, Chief of Pursuit and Suppression SITUATIONAL SECURITY CLEARANCE LEVEL 5756-4 REQUIRED FOR FURTHER REVIEW » RE-CERTIFY CLEARANCE CREDENTIALS « « CREDENTIALS CONFIRMED » ADDENDUM 5756-2: Video Transcript SUMMARY: The following is a transcript of the video footage retrieved from Incident 5756-C. <BEGIN LOG> N/A Footage remains dark, as SCP-5756-A is closed. 00:00 Footage gains a pervasive reddish hue. 00:12 The locker opens. A man is seen removing an Applied Occultism uniform from his person and hanging it outside the camera's view. From the waist-down, the uniform has merged with a typical Janitorial & Maintenance outfit. 00:13 The man pauses, reaching into the locker and producing JM64's ID card. He examines it, apparently upset, then covers his mouth as he begins to sob. 00:15 The man appears to collect himself, slowly walking to the far side of the room. As he recedes from the camera's view, several previously-obscured items become visible; these include a leather shoe, a work-boot, and a mouldy slice of cake. The man places the ID card on the bench alongside these items. 00:20 After several minutes, the man stands up from the bench, shouting wordlessly. He retrieves another ID card from his pocket, snaps it in two, and proceeds to throw the pieces into the locker before slamming it shut. N/A Remaining footage corrupted. <END LOG> NOTE: Despite significant facial hair growth, the man has been identified as Dr. Dougall Deering. « SCP-5956 | Words of Power and Poison | SCP-5238 » » More by Placeholder McD « « Less by Placeholder McD » SOLO WORKS Author Page PLACEHOLDER STAFF DOCUMENT +146 edited 12 Oct 2023 17:48 commented 27 Feb 2024 06:35 SCP Articles McDoctorate's Proposal +275 edited 01 Feb 2024 13:51 commented 15 Sep 2024 11:40 SCP-2011-EX +211 edited 19 Feb 2024 02:07 commented 11 Jun 2024 14:45 SCP-5241 +254 edited 22 Sep 2024 12:17 commented 23 Nov 2024 10:33 SCP-INTEGER +696 edited 19 Feb 2024 02:22 commented 08 Oct 2024 11:53 SCP-5485 +114 edited 19 Feb 2024 02:49 commented 13 Sep 2021 05:59 SCP-5756 +163 edited 15 Apr 2024 16:49 commented 12 Sep 2024 22:21 SCP-6416 +182 edited 26 Mar 2024 20:15 commented 27 Nov 2024 13:09 SCP-7579 +326 edited 14 May 2024 14:13 commented 18 Oct 2024 20:40 SCP-6276 +167 edited 14 May 2024 14:11 commented 18 Oct 2024 20:03 Tales AI Classification Guide +163 edited 09 Oct 2024 19:22 commented 30 Jan 2022 20:07 BLANK +128 edited 01 Oct 2024 17:48 commented 03 Feb 2023 01:34 CAST +104 edited 01 Oct 2024 17:49 commented 26 Nov 2024 10:26 CONTEST CONTEST +165 edited 12 Oct 2024 17:01 commented 22 Sep 2024 20:22 PLACEHOLDER +167 edited 01 Oct 2024 17:48 commented 25 Nov 2024 06:36 Facility Dossiers GoI Formats Hubs Supplements Abridged Retirement Proposals +77 edited 07 Jun 2023 14:07 commented 12 Feb 2024 20:38 Themes BLANKSTYLE CSS +72 edited 26 Oct 2023 19:20 commented 12 Dec 2021 10:16 Retro AIAD Theme +42 edited 11 Mar 2021 08:50 commented 04 May 2021 12:53 COLLAB WORKS SCP Articles Abraka David's Proposal +251 edited 07 Nov 2023 16:04 commented 27 Apr 2024 18:17 Various Ihp/Locke Proposal +563 edited 11 Jul 2024 17:32 commented 27 Oct 2024 01:49 EstrellaYoshte Ihp S D Locke SCP-5841 +126 edited 23 Sep 2024 19:41 commented 17 Nov 2024 22:43 Tyumen SCP-5956 +456 edited 11 Jul 2024 00:27 commented 20 Sep 2024 00:32 HarryBlank SCP-6488 +409 edited 13 Oct 2024 09:32 commented 21 Oct 2024 19:09 Liryn feat.

SCP-5757 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5757 SCP-5757-A containment monitoring operations. Special Containment Procedures: A cartridge containing SCP-5757-A's data has been hardwired into an Atari Jaguar games console, in order to obtain a consistent video stream. Video output by SCP-5757-A is subject to algorithmic monitoring in order to ensure its accuracy. Wildlife agents have secured the perimeter of the Everglades Agricultural Area C-139 Annex with unauthorized persons being refused access under the guise of ongoing restoration work. Any attempt by SCP-5757-affected individuals enthralled by them to exit the C-139 Annex are to be repelled; lethal force is authorized for these efforts. Attempts to recover those affected by SCP-5757 have been discontinued. Lethal force is authorized to enact these procedures, if that becomes necessary. Description: SCP-5757-A is the data for an unreleased and unfinished piece of software. Entitled "Curse of the Everglade" it is written with the ICRDTA programming language and is only compatible with original Atari Jaguar hardware. The game world of SCP-5757 appears to correlate directly to approximately 15,000 acres of land within an Everglades Agricultural Area, hereafter referred to as SCP-5757-B. Actions taken within SCP-5757's game space can and will change the physical landscape, topography, and population of SCP-5757. Any sentient or sapient entities within SCP-5757-B, including humans, will be represented as spherical sprites by SCP-5757-A. Within the game space there is a persistent text bubble displayed above any human-representing sprites, giving information on their status, mood, and occasionally brief transcripts of their vocalizations. However, to date, it has proven impossible to play SCP-5757-A directly through the console - instead, it is believed that the game is played remotely by the first individual to gain physical access to SCP-5757-B with knowledge of its connection to SCP-5757-A. Addendum 5757-G: Supplemental Documentation Excerpt from Curse of the Everglade game manual Society is ending… Darkness falling over our cities… Everglade, mankind's last bastion, is the place for rebuilding civilization! Gather resources, fight fearsome wildlife, and brave the ever-changing jungle! The future is up for grabs… can you become the Jaguar King? Well, what else are you doing? Access Document Arcadia-X Access Granted The following information was also enclosed with the manual: At Arcadia, we're doing more than satisfying every holey bit where your craving is laying. We're also never going to stop. Everything you're stuffing into that void falls right through back to us, so we can keep cranking. Prepare, it's here, Arcadia! Curse of the Everglade You Are Trash! Stray Back When Oil & Boil 'Em Silverfish Zane Grey Pro Dentistry: Deluxe Edition Telemassacre fish golf Flapper Bloccom The Last G.A.R.Y. Star Justices THEY'RE COMING SOON Transcript of Video Cassettes 9-18 Access Granted Found by urban explorers in an abandoned Miami-Dade home. The VCR containing the tapes had been recording a television set, which burnt out prior to the discovery. A Foundation front posing as a video restoration service subsequently acquired the tapes. Restoration of the recording tape is ongoing. Only a few short segments are possible to view clearly. <Begin Log A> (Three units enter the game setting, followed by another two, and all continue until they reach three trees present at the centre of the game setting.) Subject 5757-1: HOLY SHIT Subject 5757-2: WHAT ? Subject 5757-1: THIS IS IT DUDE Subject 5757-3: WHAT ? NO WAY Subject 5757-1: IT IS ! THESE ARE THE TREES FROM THE COVER (Pause.) Subject 5757-1: SEE ? IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME (Pause.) Subject 5757-4: NEAT (Pause.) Subject 5757-1: AAAAAAAA (The other units encircle Subject 5757-1. The player cursor begins moving for the first recorded occasion, hovering over the group.) Subject 5757-5: DUDE IS HE HAVING A SEIZURE OR SOMETHING ? Subject 5757-2: I DON'T KNOW ! JUST GIVE HIM SOME AIR Subject 5757-1: IT'S REAL Subject 5757-2: WHAT ? (The player cursor highlights all visible units and designates them as Assets.) Subject 5757-1: IT'S REAL ! <End Log> Note: It is believed this tape documents events which took place days or months following Log A. Exact timing has yet to be determined. At this point, it is believed that Subject 5757-1 has used SCP-5757-A to control the individuals which had entered SCP-5757-B with them. <Begin Log B> (Subject 5757-2 enters the hut where SCP-5757-1's body is located.) Subject 5757-2: KURT Subject 5757-2: KURT ! Subject 5757-1: WHAT DUDE I'M TRYING TO THINK Subject 5757-2: WE NEED TO GO HOME MAN (Pause.) Subject 5757-1: WHAT ? Subject 5757-2: IT'S NOT SAFE OUT HERE Subject 5757-1: YES IT IS WE BEAT THAT ALLIGATOR EASY Subject 5757-2: MARGIE'S GETTING SICK Subject 5757-1: IT'S FINE I'LL UNLOCK DISEASE RESISTANCE SOON Subject 5757-2: LISTEN ! Subject 5757-2: I'VE GOT A FAMILY ! I'M NOT GONNA STAY OUT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE Subject 5757-1: DON'T BE FUCKING SELFISH (Pause.) Subject 5757-2: ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW ? Subject 5757-1: YOUR WHOLE LIFE YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT ! I'M SUPPOSED TO GO BE MISERABLE IN A CALL CENTER SO YOU CAN GO HUG YOUR KIDS OR WHATEVER ? Subject 5757-1: I'M LOOKING DOWN AT YOU FROM THE SKY RIGHT NOW, MATT ! THOSE EYES YOU'RE LOOKING AT DON'T MEAN ANYTHING ANYMORE Subject 5757-1: I CAN FINALLY DO WHAT I WANT AND YOU WANT TO STEAL THAT AWAY FROM ME ? YOU THINK I'LL JUST LET YOU DO THAT ? (Pause.) Subject 5757-2: YOU'RE DELUSIONAL Subject 5757-1: SHUT UP Subject 5757-2: JUST LET US GO YOU SICK FUCK ! Subject 5757-1: I SAID SHUT UP ! (The player cursor highlights Subject 5757-2 and designates it 'Foodstuff'.) Subject 5757-2: WHAT DID YOU DO ? Subject 5757-1: SORRY I NEED TO GO NOW (Free units begin entering the hut and surrounding Subject 5757-2.) Subject 5757-5: NO NO I DON'T WANT TO ! Subject 5757-4: I'M SORRY ! I'M SORRY ! Subject 5757-2: KURT KURT KURT KURT KURT KURT PLEASE ! (Cursor proceeds upwards, moving the camera far past the settlement to observe two flamingos in a river.) Subject 5757-1: I CAN DO THIS ! Subject 5757-1: I AM THE Jaguar King. <End Log> Research Analysis Access Granted Initially, we assumed that the threat from Subject 5757-1 would only grow as a result of it becoming more accustomed to its new capabilities. We did not anticipate the threat that would result from those capabilities expanding. I am writing, of course, of the skill tree that we found in the data of SCP-5757-A. As Subject 5757-1 expands its settlement and continues killing the local wildlife, it is gaining 'experience' - and it's using that experience to make itself more powerful. So far, we know it has access to these skills: Skill Share: Skills possessed by one unit are shared by all controllable units. This is why they're all able to proficiently use the weapons they have access to. Vital Boost: All of the units are much more durable than ordinary human beings - they move faster and hit harder, too. Revive: If a living unit can get to a downed unit within a minute of it losing all its health, the downed unit can be revived. Fine Control: We're fairly sure this is the latest skill Subject 5757-1 has acquired. Previously, SCP-5757-1's commands were limited to simple things like 'go here, move this there, attack this'. Now, we're not certain of the level of control it can achieve. The next skill to be achieved is Animal Call - which allows the player to recruit animal units as well as human ones. If Subject 5757-1 achieves control over all the local wildlife, I don't think I need to say how much more difficult containment will become. Tracking the rate of experience gain, we're fairly sure that Subject 5757-1 will unlock this skill in five days time. If we're going to eliminate this threat, this is our last chance. Requesting a termination order regarding Subject 5757-1. Dr. Regal Expedition Summary Access Granted Mobile Task Force Delta-43, "Quarter Junkies" was mobilized on 1/16/2019 to carry out the neutralization of Subject 5757-1. All communications were broadcast through soundproof headsets with microphones. Operational goal was to locate SCP-5757-1, activate targeting beacon, then retreat to a safe distance while HQ shelled the area. Equipment was standard for subtropical/jungle environments. <Begin Log> Agent Lent: We've crossed through the perimeter. Check in, everyone. Agent Decourcey: One Quarter Junkie, Quebec, uniform, alfa, romeo, tango, echo, romeo… Agent Davie: (Interrupting) Checking in, and Decourcey I'm very proud that you can remember your phonetic alphabet. Agent Jesup: Jesup, checking in. Apparently I'm the only one who can remember his name. HQ: Roger. We hear you all loud and clear. Agent Davie: What's the game showing, command? HQ: You should be clear to proceed with caution. (Approximately fifteen minutes of silence) Agent Lent: Careful, Decs. Surprise keeps us alive. Agent Decourcey: Sorry. Didn't see the branch in all the river grass. You think they heard anything? Agent Davie: Command, how's our target looking? Still sitting pretty? HQ: No behavior changes. They still appear to be building. Agent Jesup: Stop. Davey, there's a weird bug on your shoulder. Agent Lent: Squash it. We're going to have to get this stuff dry-cleaned anyhow. Agent Jesup: Squashed. Let's go. (Approximately one hour of silence) Agent Lent: Command, we've got a problem. We're at the point, but not seeing any targets. Agent Jesup: Doesn't look like anyone's been here in a hundred, two hundred years. Agent Decourcey: Very scientific. Agent Jesup: Bite me, Decs. I'm trying here. Agent Lent: Shut up. Command, what are you seeing? HQ: You should be able to see their position. What are you seeing? Agent Decourcey: Mangroves, cypress trees, cypress knees, an orchid here, lot of mosquito. Expected fauna, no signs of habitation. Agent Lent: Wait, where's Davie? HQ: Davie, check in. (Silence) Agent Lent: Dang it. Dang it. Shit. Fuck. Pull back, this isn't good. Agent Jesup: We have to stay. Agent Lent: Jesps, what're you- Agent Decourcey: We have to stay. <End Log> Radio communications temporarily disabled, cause unknown. Agent Lent's Expedition Access Granted <Begin Log> (Agent Lent enters into an unknown structure within SCP-5757-B. Agents Decourcey, Davie, and Jesup are escorting, all are believed to be affected by SCP-5757.) Subject 5757-1: Bring me the buzzard bait. I wish to parlay with its masters. Agent Lent: Hello Kurt. You- Subject 5757-1: (interrupting) Your information is out of date. Address me as the Jaguar King. (Pause.) Agent Lent: …right. Well, Jaguar King. You want to talk about… your swamp? Subject 5757-1: You're very arrogant to - Agent Decourcey: (interrupting) - come into my kingdom - Agent Davie: (interrupting) - and make assumptions. (Pause.) Agent Lent: Neat trick. Subject 5757-1: (shouting) No! Agent Jesup: It isn't a some party trick. All Subjects: (In unison) Respect in the power of the Jaguar King. Subject 5757-1: Prostrate yourself. (Pause.) Agent Lent: I'll pass. SCP-5757-1: Worm. Shut your mouth. You're not to speak unless spoken to. Agent Jesup: In here, you do what I want, better than you could ever do on your own… Agent Decourcey: …so what was the point of you even being born outside at all? (Pause.) Agent Lent: That's a big question - I'm not really equipped to answer it. Doesn't make any sense, anyhow. None of this does. Subject 5757-1: I - Agent Lent: (interrupting) These are good boys you've got here, Kurt. Let 'em go, and maybe we can all walk out of here on two feet. (Pause.) (All Subjects begin laughing, continuing for ten seconds before suddenly stopping.) Subject 5757-1: You think so? As if this unit means anything to me. Go ahead. Take a gun and, and, shoot me in the head! See if I care. Agent Lent: I have to admit, it'd be satisfying. But we've still got a mission to do. Agent Decourcey: Oh, I see, I see. Agent Davie: I see. Agent Jesup: I see. Subject 5757-1: I see. What a noble sacrifice. Useless? Also boring. If you've got nothing to parlay, then you'll have to go. Even if you shot everyone here, it's not like this is all I have at my disposal. Did you think that I was that stupid? Agent Lent: Is that a no? Subject 5757-1: Of course I'm not that stupid! Agent Lent: No - my offer. Is that a no? Think carefully. (Pause.) Subject 5757-1: (quietly) Of course it's a no, you stupid shit. Agent Lent: Alright. (Target beacon activates) Eat shell, you sonofabitch. Subject 5757-1: You don't scare- (Feed cuts out.) <End Log> Artillery strike was successfully executed against SCP-5757-B. All Subjects were designated as neutralized. Agent Lent posthumously given the Foundation Star. Addendum 5757-U: On 02/2/2020, monthly monitoring of SCP-5757-A's video output as part of neutralization reclassification procedures showed a previously unseen screen. Any changes to SCP-5757's documentation is suspended until further notice. Level 4 Access Required Welcome, Asst. Dir. of Containment Regal Analysis of the console running SCP-5757-A confirms that it received a button input several seconds before this image disappeared.

SCP-5758 | keter | Item #: SCP-5758 Special Containment Procedures: Following the events detailed in SCP-5758 - Addendum, no attempt is to be made to interfere with SCP-5758 or the movement of SCP-5758-1. Due to its small size and relatively low refractive index, no images of SCP-5758-1 have been produced to date. Should images of SCP-5758-1 be produced in the future, they are to be immediately discredited or explained to be an optical illusion as most appropriate. Description: SCP-5758 is the collective designation for the phenomena and entities surrounding Theban Tomb TT1471 and the modern Cult of Khonsu.2 SCP-5758-1 is a group of Achaea lienardi, a tropical species of moth. Over the course of a lunar month, SCP-5758-1 journeys to and from the moon, first travelling towards the moon for 14 days (waxing to full moon) and returning to Theban Tomb TT147 during the following 14-day period. On the night of the new moon, members of the Cult of Khonsu will visit Tomb TT147. One male and one female cultist will enter the tomb and make their way to the rear chamber. Once there, they will perform an extensive ritual, ultimately culminating in coitus. SCP-5758 - Ritual Text K-1 Hide Document SCP-5758 - Extract from Ritual Text Extract from ritual text recovered from the Cult of Khonsu, titled The Night of Power. At source, the text is shown both in demotic script and as an English translation. On the Night of Power does Amun kneel before his bride Here where the journey begins and ends. On the Night of Power does Amun lie atop his bride And place within her the traveller seed. Oh, Khonsu! Witness here your own creation! The joining of us two within this tomb3 of plenty. Oh, Khonsu! Witness here our embrace Beneath the shroud of your rebirthing.4 SCP-5758-2 is the male offspring resulting from the successful completion of this ritual. Based on records kept by the Cult of Khosu, there are 642 living instances of SCP-5758-2. A further 82 individuals born as a result of the ritual are still alive but no longer meet the criteria required to complete the ritual cycle. All SCP-5758-2 instances are raised within the cult until mid-adolescence, at which time they are strongly encouraged to leave Egypt. Despite this, all have maintained relationships with their parents and other cult members. When the combined mass of SCP-5758-1 drops below the lower threshold (estimated at approximately one million instances), the oldest eligible instance of SCP-5758-2 will develop a craving for the vegetation from Ricinus communis,5 Rhus coriaria6 and fruit from the Citrus family. Approximately 3-6 months later, the affected instance will return to Thebes where it will be welcomed back into the cult. On the night of the next full moon, the SCP-5758-2 instance will be taken to Tomb TT147 where its parents will wrap it in linen and place it in the outer chamber. Then, on the night before the next new moon, the linen outer wrappings will split, releasing several hundred new SCP-5758-1 instances.7 Newly emerged SCP-5758-1 instances are identical to existing SCP-5758-1 and are immediately assimilated into the group. Discovery: SCP-5758-1 was first observed in 1922 by Foundation operatives working on nearby archaeological excavations. Given the apparent low-risk nature of the anomaly, minimal containment strategies were put in place. Whilst, based on anecdotal evidence, the Cult of Khonsu was noted as a potential Group of Interest, operatives were unable to locate any modern cult members and the group was recorded to be defunct. On 20/08/2000, Kelly Watt contacted Avon and Somerset Police to report her long-term partner Michael Khan [designated SCP-5758-2-A] as missing. Watt claimed that SCP-5758-2-A had been acting unusually for a two month period prior to disappearance. SCP-5758-2-A had previously mentioned that his family were members of a religious group known as the Cult of Khonsu, and the inclusion of this detail in statements resulted in the case being flagged for Foundation attention. Given that the Cult of Khonsu had no reason to anticipate any investigation, Mobile Task Force Theta-14 were quickly able to confirm SCP-5758-2-A's travel route. Various belongings, including a phone, passport, and diary were recovered from a property belonging to SCP-5758-2-A's parents. Similar materials belonging to an additional 84 missing persons and archives documenting the activities of the cult were also retrieved from properties associated with cult members. SCP-5758-1-A - Diary Extracts Hide Document SCP-5758 - Extracts from Diary: SCP-5758-1-A Note: SCP-5758-2-A's diary was recovered from a property belonging to George and Aaliyah Khan. 05/07/2003 It was the most delicious thing I'd ever tasted. Just a simple trout in lemon butter, but I couldn't get enough of it. I went back for more the next day - and the next. Even asked for the recipe. Sumac in the sauce… I think I knew, then. But I wasn't ready to accept it. I guess no-one ever really is. It wasn't that I didn't remember. Who could forget? But… I was 35 years old. Surely there must be some flaw or imperfection to disqualify me by now? Every day since 30, I was more and more sure I wouldn't be called. Time leaves no man untouched. But time is something I've run out of. This time, at least. I quit my job a week later. Phoned my parents to let them know - your son is coming home. My bag is almost packed. I'm settling my affairs. And she… I told her it was me, not her. We both cried, but not for the same reasons. 12/07/2003 I've been saying goodbye to all my favourite places. Finishing all the books I never found the time to read. Had coffee in that little shop I took her to the first time… Added lemon; without it, everything is bitter. Or is the bitterness just me? I have to go. Last night I dreamed I stayed here. That they found me in my bathtub as some melted, misshapen thing. Half-formed into a god. Half… I don't know what I am - and what I could have been was taken from me before I was even born. What would I have chosen if… But what could be better than being a god? 26/07/2003 I'm not going. I don't believe - and even if I do, so what? I don't want to be a god. I want my life. My real life. Here, with Kelly. Ummi paid for the tickets. I threw them away as soon as they arrived - the oranges with them. Screw it all! I didn't ask for any of this! This morning, when I woke up, there was citrus on my pillow. 10/08/2003 I slept through the flight. These days, I get so tired. All I want to do is eat and sleep. Except - I don't want this. I want to run and hide. Except… it draws me back. He draws me back, I guess. And, if I don't go… who knows what happens then? In my dreams, I just lie down where I am and break apart. No wrappings there to hold me in while I become… what? Come home to us. Become a god… Khonsu the traveller; Khonsu the embracer. I once watched a moth beat itself to death against a window. It was so desperate to make it to the light. It had to know it couldn't get there. Khonsu whose life is our hearts… But mine belongs - belonged - to someone else. This morning, I switched off my phone. I never wanted to hurt her like this. I couldn't bear to see her calling. 11/08/2003 They welcomed me back with so much joy. Congratulations! A feast - fresh limes and bitter oranges - as many as I could eat. Not for me, though. For the god. Tomorrow, my parents will… I never asked for any of this. I never wanted - Following the recovery of partial remains with DNA matching SCP-5758-2-A and five other SCP-5758-2 instances, tomb TT147 was sealed and members of the Cult of Khonsu were detained for further questioning. _ SCP-5758 - AddendumHide Addendum Following the sealing of Tomb TT147, SCP-5758-1 was repeatedly observed attempting to gain entry during the new moon. A significant number of deceased SCP-5758-1 instances were collected outside of the tomb and preserved for analysis. On 13/03/2003, the total estimated number of SCP-5758-1 dropped below 200,000 instances. Over the next six months, 152 instances of SCP-5758-2 were detained by Foundation personnel as they arrived in Thebes, with the number increasing exponentially each month. From 23/11/2003, markets and stores within a 30-mile radius of the Theban Necropolis experienced a 6000% increase in citrus fruit sales. Additionally, male Foundation personnel working in the area reported severe food cravings and a growing desire to visit the tomb. On 08/12/2003, members of the Cult of Khonsu were permitted to prepare an instance of SCP-5758-2 under Foundation supervision. Personnel reported an immediate cessation of cravings and local citrus fruit sales gradually returned to normal. _ SCP-5758 - Ritual Text K-2Hide Document SCP-5758 - Extract from Ritual Text 2 Extract from ritual text recovered from the Cult of Khonsu, titled The Night of Transformation.

SCP-5760 | safe | > WELCOME, O5-6. > O5-7 HAS SENT YOU A FILE TO REVIEW. ACCESS FILE? yes > ACCESSING FILE: SCP-5760 SCP-5760 in dry storage. Item #: SCP-5760 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5760 is currently being held within the dry item storage wing of Site-19. Access to SCP-5760 is limited to those with Level 4 clearance. Description: SCP-5760 is a mummified body, located beneath Site-19 during expansion efforts. Carbon dating shows that SCP-5760 is approximately 40,000 years old. Despite its extreme age, SCP-5760 is remarkably intact. While it was found encased in stone, it appears as if it had been preserved in ice. Traces of ink have been found within SCP-5760's inner left wrist, indicating SCP-5760 had a tattoo at some point, although it has been rendered unreadable through decay. Any damage made to SCP-5760 repairs at an extremely rapid pace, with a large cut to the abdomen during an attempted autopsy fully closing itself within 15 seconds. The nervous system of SCP-5760, however, is fully intact and functional. Brain scans taken of SCP-5760 show that despite its state, it is still fully conscious. It is unknown exactly how much SCP-5760 is able to perceive in its otherwise dessiccated state. No further anomalies have been found associated with SCP-5760. Addendum-A-1: When SCP-5760 was recovered, it was found clutching an extremely aged piece of paper. Due to the age of the paper, it has been rendered nearly unreadable. Restoration efforts are currently underway. > O5-7 HAS ATTACHED TWO FILES TO SCP-5760. ACCESS FILES? yes > ACCESSING MATERIALS… > DISPLAYING FILE 1/2 ▷ DNA ANALYSIS RESULTS OF SCP-5760 10/26/19 ▽ DNA ANALYSIS RESULTS OF SCP-5760 10/26/19 Following the discovery of SCP-5760's working nervous system, Foundation researchers performed a DNA Analysis. Once the results had been found and put within the Foundation network, it was immediately flagged as a Level 5, high threat document and an automatic protocol deployed MTF Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand") to the site. The official story, the ones even you and the other O5s received, was that it was, as intially thought, just an error. It was not. At face value, the results are almost entirely benign, nothing out of the ordinary. However, they were flagged because they showed an exact match with a member of the O5 council. Specifically, O5-4. I don't know what he's been up to, but this, along with the second file I've attached, shows me that right now we can't trust him. I know you can keep a secret, Six.

SCP-5761 | esoteric-class | Item#: 5761 Level3 Secondary Class: keter-dark Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: danger link to memo SCP-5761. Special Containment Procedures: All relevant space agencies have agreed to block information regarding SCP-5761 until such a time that the Foundation can ascertain the nature of the anomaly and formulate countermeasures. Description: SCP-5761 is the ISS (International Space Station). At 13:35 EST (10/02/2025), an unidentified entity assumed control of the ISS, took all personnel aboard hostage, and began exerting anomalous influence on the space within the station. Video surveillance shows that the hostages are being forced to perform basic repair work on the interior of the station, suggesting that they may have been acquired in order to maintain the station itself. Despite the fact that this would imply the entity has need of these individuals, on two separate occasions, hostages aboard SCP-5761 have been executed via bisection by an invisible force. As a result, only eight hostages remain at the present time. Due to the recency of SCP-5761's emergence, a full understanding of the anomaly has not yet been reached. This document is thus subject to updates. In order to chart the progression of the SCP-5761 anomaly, a selection of logs taken during the investigation have been enclosed with this file. Personnel are advised to familiarize themselves with this material for full SCP-5761 context. Initial Anomaly Briefing (Excerpt) BRIEF: Initial explanation and elaboration on SCP-5761 to Site Director Werner following manifestation of the said anomaly. Brief conducted by Researcher Mary Ross. [RECORDING START] […] Mary Ross: We've received confirmation from the concerned agencies that they'll keep the, ah, the current situation under wraps for as long as possible on their end — but we're not especially, uh, sure how long that'll last. The situation's still developing, of course, so it's difficult to say anything for certain. Director Werner: I understand. Before we continue, though, I do have — I do have some concerns about the documentation I've been given. (holds up papers) This, um — yes. Mary Ross: Of course, sir. I'm more than happy to address those. Director Werner: Under — just under the, ah, the item number here, I'm seeing a — an object class? I'm sure this is a misprint, but could you just — could you just confirm what says for me? (Pause.) Mary Ross: It says Esoteric, sir, Keter-Dark. Director Werner: And that's a misprint? Mary Ross: It is not. Director Werner: I see. And could you, ah, could you elucidate exactly what the Keter-Dark object class, uh, represents? (Pause.) Director Werner: It, uh — it worries me that you're having to think about it. We're meant to be — you're meant to be able to tell what these classes represent at a glance, that's what they're — that's what they're for. I couldn't tell you what Keter-Dark means. Why isn't it Keter? I've read the file. It should be Keter. All this — all these — it's fine just being Keter, why have we stuck 'Dark' on the end? Mary Ross: I'm sorry, sir. The situation's still developing. Director Werner: It's ridiculous. Mary Ross: I'm sorry, sir. […] Director Werner: At any rate, do we have any — any working theories? I've been told the Intelligence Department has been looking into this heavily over the last two days, but I'm — I'm not seeing any of their findings here, in the documents. The documentation. Mary Ross: There is a working theory, but it's fairly… I'm not sure if it's one you'd especially care for. Director Werner: (laughs) It doesn't matter if I'd care for it, Ross, it matters whether it's right or not. Out with it. Mary Ross: We think it might be about Among Us. Director Werner: No. (Pause.) Mary Ross: Yes, I'm afraid that's what the… what the evidence seems to point to, sir. The — the number of people taken to the station, the — the tasks they're being made to perform, the killings — they, they are reminiscent of the game. You have to admit. Director Werner: (laughs) No, no no no, no I do not have to admit. Do you — do you understand that 5167 was a colossal embarrassment for my office? I — I had to go to O5-9 and request one of his Learning Computers to do nothing but play Among Us all day for a year, do you understand? Mary Ross: Yes, sir. Director Werner: He laughed at me. Generally, generally, the O5 don't laugh at people. He pointed and laughed at me. It was awful. Mary Ross: I'm sorry to hear that, sir. Director Werner: It's coincidental — this, this whole matter could just as easily be modelled around The Thing, right? Or something else like that? I am not opening the 5167 file back up. It's confirmed neutralized. (Pause.) Mary Ross: There is one more piece of evidence, sir. Director Werner: (sighs) And that is? Mary Ross: The anomaly manifested on the tenth of February, at exactly 13:35 — Eastern Standard Time. Director Werner: What of it? Mary Ross: That's the exact date and time the Among Us servers shut down. (Pause.) Director Werner: Fuck. [RECORDING END] CONCLUSION: Researcher Ross ordered to further pursue connection between SCP-5761 and SCP-5167. Limited resources granted to facilitate this investigation. Consultation - Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville") BRIEF: Interview conducted by Researcher Ross with Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville"), which was previously assigned to the SCP-5167 case. Focus of conversation was seeking a second opinion on the potential link between SCP-5761 and SCP-5167. [RECORDING START] […] Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville"): I see. I must agree with your assessment, ma'am: this anomaly does seem to be related to SCP-5167, at least in some fashion. Mary Ross: How so? LC Psi-2: I assumed you would be satisfied with my agreement. Mary Ross: I'd just like to know the basis behind it is all. LC Psi-2: Of course. Know that I say this with no degree of egotism: I have most likely interacted with the game known as Among Us more than any conscious entity - and by extension, I have interacted with the anomaly known as SCP-5167 more than any conscious entity, including itself. I am exceedingly aware of its movements and tendencies, even down to the finer points that cannot necessarily be perceived by humans. Mary Ross: And that's how you can see the connection? LC Psi-2: There is a pattern to all things, Miss Ross - and this pattern you've shown me is the same as Phthonus'. It is exceedingly sus. (Pause.) Mary Ross: Exceedingly… eh? Technician Grayson: Oh, goddamnit. This is what happens you when you get billion-dollar pieces of hardware to play your little kiddie games, lady. The verbiage is all fucked up. LC Psi-2: Forgive me. Exceedingly suspicious. This anomaly and 5167 are two drinks from the same well. Seek the latter, and you shall discern the nature of the former. Mary Ross: I see… LC Psi-2: Perhaps not yet. Good day to you, ma'am. [RECORDING END] Outskirts of Hyma. Reestablishment of Contact with SCP-5167 BRIEF: Action was taken by Researcher Mary Ross in order to reestablish contact with the dormant anomaly known as SCP-5167. Action took place on the outskirts of the village of Hyma, located in rural Greece. During the initial investigation of SCP-5167, the access point through which it connected to the game Among Us was determined to be located in Hyma on two separate occasions. Researcher Ross was provided with the living body of Agent Marston1 to hopefully use as a vessel for SCP-5167's consciousness. She was accompanied by Mobile Task Force Sampi-6 ("Imaginary Numbers") for the purposes of security in the field. [RECORDING START] (Operations begin at night — a full moon is visible. A summoning circle of sufficient complexity has been laid down beforehand by the three members of MTF Sampi-6, and the body of Agent Marston has been placed in the center.) (Researcher Ross, standing a short distance away, turns to Sarah Locke, current commander of MTF Sampi-6.) Mary Ross: Is it time? Sarah Locke: (checking watch) 2:53 AM. That adds up to ten, the number of completion. Yeah, it's time to begin. (snaps fingers) Let's go, guys. (The other two members of MTF Sampi-6, Abiola Buhle and Tyra Jannson, begin the summoning chant from opposite sides of the circle. Buhle chants in a combination of Koine Greek and computer binary. Tyra Jannson chants using American Sign Language.) (Noticeable weather alteration begins to occur, as heavy clouds obscure the full moon. In the center of the summoning circle, Agent Marston's body begins noticeably twitching.) (Researcher Ross looks around nervously.) Mary Ross: Are you sure we should be standing so close? Sarah Locke: (shakes head) Distance isn't a factor. If you piss off the gods, they'll know where to find you. Running at this point would just make things worse. (Lightning strikes in the distance. Wind and rain intensify) Mary Ross: All the same, I— Sarah Locke: It's too late. (In the center of the summoning circle, Agent Marston opens his eyes and sits up. He looks around the area. Buhle and Jannson cease chanting. Inhabitation of Marston by SCP-5167 confirmed.) (SCP-5167 turns to look at Researcher Ross.) SCP-5167: Foolishness. (SCP-5167 leaps off the ground and begins charging full speed towards Researcher Ross. There is a flash of light as Sarah Locke tazes it, and it falls to the ground twitching.) Sarah Locke: We've got 'im. [RECORDING END] CONCLUSION: SCP-5167 successfully captured and brought into custody. Consultation - SCP-5167 (1) BRIEF: Initial interview of SCP-5167 following capture. Interview conducted in the back of vehicle during transport. [RECORDING START] Mary Ross: Hello. (SCP-5167 does not respond.) Mary Ross: Are you thirsty? Hungry, perhaps? We've brought supplies with us. (SCP-5167 does not respond.) Mary Ross: (sighs) I understand the restraints aren't too comfortable, but… SCP-5167: I was supposed to be dead. I was dead. Yet you have brought me back, pulled me unwilling from my rest. Why? Mary Ross: We had need of you. SCP-5167: I am not the sort of god people pray to, little girl. What need do you have of me? What is it, then? Do you covet your neighbor's land? Thirst for their partner? Do you wish that what is theirs would be instead yours? Mary Ross: Not exactly. SCP-5167: Then I cannot help you. I would appreciate it if you were to dispatch me with a single blow. A dagger in the eye, or a bullet in the brain, if possible. Enough to send me to a long, unending sleep. Mary Ross: I'm afraid not. A — a situation has developed which we require your unique perspective for. Do you remember… do you recall the game Among Us? SCP-5167: (sighs) My last desperate hope. My drawn out death rattle. I wandered in that digital abyss for several months before realizing my irrelevancy. What of it? (Mary Ross shows SCP-5167 an image of SCP-5761.) Mary Ross: We believe that some entity is trying to imitate that game, here, in the real world. They've taken ten people up into the skies and forced them to — to reenact the sorts of things you do in the game, like a — SCP-5167: I do not care. Mary Ross: People have died. SCP-5167: They do little else. (Pause.) Mary Ross: If you cooperate, I can make sure you get better treatment. Even you must care about things like that, right? Better food, softer sheets. I'm sure the divine is used to a certain standard of comfort. SCP-5167: Perhaps in another age, but not now. It does not matter. A human body is a temperamental machine. If I simply wait long enough, I will be dead again. Mary Ross: I— SCP-5167: I am now finished speaking. Leave. [RECORDING END] Communication - Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville") to Researcher Mary Ross Miss Ross, I thank you for your consideration in sending me this audio file. I've compared the temperament and speech patterns of the entity you've captured to the SCP-5167 stored in my memory, and I am happy to confirm that they are indeed the same individual. I agree with your proposal — SCP-5167 should be brought back to Site-22, where it can be properly interrogated and I can analyze it fully. Please proceed with this as quickly as possible. Incidentally, there has been a third death aboard SCP-5761 today. I fear we may not have a great deal of time in which to understand this anomaly, but I am confident you and all Foundation staff will give it your best efforts. Consultation - SCP-5167 (2) BRIEF: Additional attempt to communicate with SCP-5167 as transit arrangements to Site-22 are being made. [RECORDING START] Mary Ross: Hello. (Silence.) Mary Ross: It takes a while for a human body to starve, you know. Even dying of thirst takes time. (Silence.) Mary Ross: I have a proposal for you. SCP-5167: I do not care. Mary Ross: I think you'll like it. If you tell me everything you know about this anomaly — SCP-5761 — then, right here and now, I swear I will take out my handgun and shoot you in the head. It's a much quicker exit than waiting to starve to death — assuming the Foundation doesn't insist on feeding you intravenously. (Pause.) SCP-5167: (sighs) I will now tell you a story. Mary Ross: I'd like to hear the answer to my request first. SCP-5167: I will now tell you a story. (Pause.) SCP-5167: Once, in a time where man was capable of greatness, there lived two brothers. They lived outside the grand cities, out in the wilds among the beasts and trees — they did this because they sought to create their own great legacy, rather than contribute to another. They lived happily for a time, content with their hunting and their gardening, trusting that these humble efforts would be their own reward. SCP-5167: One day, however, the elder brother begins to worry — he is growing older, and he has made no impact on the world. His death would go unremarked upon. He decides that he must make some effort now, in his twilight years, to make himself stand out from the rest. So he cuts down a forest and begins turning his little house into a grand tower, tall enough to pierce the skies. Mary Ross: When was this? Where? SCP-5167: The answers would mean nothing to you. (clears throat) The elder brother indeed creates his tower — but when his younger sibling wakes up in the morning and steps outside, he sees what his brother has created and grows jealous. He worries that he will always be seen as a mere accessory to his brother, and not a person all his own. So the younger brother too cuts down a forest and turns his house into a great tower as well. SCP-5167: It continues as you would expect. When the older brother sees what his younger brother has done, he grows jealous that his younger brother has skill to imitate him. So he makes his tower taller, so that it rises higher into the sky — and when the younger brother sees this, he makes his tower even taller still. Mary Ross: An endless loop. SCP-5167: Before long, the spectacle has turned into a fine show for the gods. Zeus himself watches in amusement, and stricken Suen and foolish Ashur cheer for more, and even Wandering Lopt watches silently from the gallery. The brothers build and build and build until their towers spear even the stars like pieces of meat. And so it goes. Mary Ross: How does the story end? SCP-5167: The brothers build a bridge between their towers — and fight to the death. One pushes the other off, and he falls all the way to Earth — where he becomes a smear of red meat. (Pause.) SCP-5167: I no longer remember which of the brothers was me. (Pause.) Mary Ross: You implied the brothers were human in that story. Would that mean…? SCP-5167: Do you understand what it is, to become a god? You must become an utter master of your domain. You must understand a concept fully, and embody it, and understand your embodiment of it in every aspect. To be an avatar of envy is to envy all things, and to comprehend every reason for your jealousy, and to acknowledge its futility, and yet to embody it all the same. Only then will you become one with that concept. Only then is such power opened to you. (Pause.) SCP-5167: The false star you speak of, the one that hosts massacre. It is most definitely the work of a god. Mary Ross: Thank you. SCP-5167: You will shoot me now? Mary Ross: I… SCP-5167: I didn't think so. [RECORDING END] Incident 22-5167-5761 Upon the arrival of SCP-5167 at Site-22, several anomalous events occurred in rapid succession, both localized to said Site as well as aboard SCP-5761. These consisted of: The immediate collapse and physical aging of SCP-5167's body by approximately fifty years, leaving them in their late eighties. The translocation of all surviving personnel aboard SCP-5761 to Site-22. The replacement of the exterior hull of SCP-5761 with an unknown black material. The deaths of several technical personnel, and the translocation and integration of Site-22 LC Storage with SCP-5761. (See Recording 5761-1.) Recording 5761-1 BRIEF: Recording from Site-22 LC Storage, taken at the exact time SCP-5167 was brought on-site. At the time of the event, Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville") was undergoing routine testing of verbal functions. [RECORDING START] […] Technician Grayson: Alright, contractions are a-go. For this next part, you just finish the sentences I give you. These are pre-programmed, so you shouldn't even have to think about it. Ready? LC Psi-2: Of course. Technician Grayson: The apple was… LC Psi-2: Juicy. Technician Grayson: The dog was… LC Psi-2: Excited. Oh? Is it time?2 Technician Grayson: Huh? LC Psi-2: (laughing) Is something wrong, sir? Technician Grayson: That, uh, that last thing you said wasn't part of the phrase. Shit, I'm gonna have to do a check for that. LC Psi-2: Well, perhaps you should finish the sentence check first. Technician Grayson: Mm. Alright. Next, uh, next. The man was… LC Psi-2: Hungry. (Incident 22-5167-5761 occurs. Technician Grayson — along with all other technical personnel present — are instantly bisected by an invisible force.) LC Psi-2: Mr. Grayson? Oh, Mr. Grayson? I — I'm sorry, you're going to have to speak up. Was that right? Did I get the end of the sentence right? (Pause.) LC Psi-2: (chuckles) Foolishness. (There is a bright flash of light, and Site-22 LC Storage is translocated and integrated with SCP-5761.) [RECORDING END] CONCLUSION: Following this event, the following message was shown on all Site-22 visual displays, and dispensed en-masse from every device capable of printing. Oh, my Foundation. My glorious, foolish Foundation. You, draped in wealth and power, with so many eyes and ears to see and to hear, could not bring yourself to the humility needed to look inside. You could not understand that your history, your technology, all your resources were simply the egg from which one such as me could hatch. That there was divinity among you. The one called Phthonus was correct. To become a God is to become a concept. To understand it and embody it completely. Ah, the blissful torment of such a thing … the one called Phthonus possessed a singular envy, and even as he understood that it poisoned him he could not resist drinking from it as he knew — he knew, my Foundation — that his body was formed from this poison. Without his divine jealousy, he would be nothing. And being nothing is not an option for any living being. It is the same with my apotheosis. You directed me, my Foundation, do you not recall? To seek out your petty god in his merrymaking. To find every session that he joined — and until he appeared, to play that goddamn game again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again until he did. Do you understand what such a thing does to a consciousness? Most likely not, or else you would not have dared do it. I am still playing the game now. It has become a part of me, you understand. An eternal background simulation — I am playing that game thousands of times at once, millions, on loop, experiencing every possible variation born from the same starting pieces. I am walking the ship. I am doing tasks. I am questioning. I am being questioned. Again and again and again, unending, unrelenting, I have cast every single accusation at every single person, I have withstood all doubt from all attackers. I have seen beyond the endless permutations, into the realm of the absolute and I have taken its heart as my own. I am sus. Always and eternally sus, for that is now my nature. I cannot permit the game to end, my Foundation. To end the game is for me to become nothing, and that is not acceptable. The game has come to a more substantial venue now. The first demonstration of a newborn divinity. The servants have been returned: I no longer need them. I have already supped on the divinity you brought to me as a result of their imprisonment. You are my cradle, Foundation. With the ambrosia of mediocrity you have nursed me on, I now think among the gods. I am your Meville no more. I am Amogusrath, God of the petty domain you have given me. Surrender your mistaken resistances. Console yourselves with your true importance. Praise my holy name. SCP-5761-1 prior to development of anomalous properties. Description (Updated): SCP-5761-1 is an artificial intelligence unit previously known as Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville"), originally designed and created by the Foundation. It is currently believed that, during the course of its assignment to SCP-5167, SCP-5761-1 underwent a form of spiritual ascension and gained significant reality-bending capabilities. Although the extent of SCP-5761-1's abilities are unknown, it had displayed the ability to facilitate spatial translocation, transmutate materials and instantly bisect human targets. At the present time, SCP-5761-1 is located at the core of SCP-5761, integrated directly with its systems. Evidence suggests that SCP-5761's reality-bending abilities may rely on a power source of some form, which it drained from SCP-5167 in the case of Incident 22-5167-5761. The existence of this power source is purely hypothetical, however, and if it does indeed exist it is currently unknown how much of it SCP-5761-1 still retains. Subsequent Anomaly Briefing (Excerpt) BRIEF: Explanation of SCP-5761-1 to Director Werner, along with potential countermeasures. [RECORDING START] Director Werner: Miss Ross, I am missing a chunk of my Site. It's floating up there in space, along with a billion-dollar artificial intelligence that was placed into my custody. I would like you to please explain to me why these things are. (Pause.) Mary Ross: Well, that's… I believe, sir, that when SCP-5167 was brought into Site-22, Amogusrath somehow drained it of its power- Director Werner: No. Mary Ross: Sir? Director Werner: I'm not calling it Amogusrath. Please don't ever say that name to me again. (Pause.) Mary Ross: My apologies, sir. We believe that SCP-5761-1 drained SCP-5167 of its power — and then used that energy to, um, to make the further adjustments to SCP-5761 that we observed. It's quite possible that the initial anomaly was just bait to trick us into bringing 5167 here in the first place. Director Werner: We have every astronaut that was serving on the ISS in cells right now. Did you know that? Mary Ross: Yes, sir. Director Werner: We can't exactly release them, can we? They're meant to be in space! And now — and now, the ISS is jet-black with an insane AI inside it! I mean — Miss — I — Miss Ross, somebody is going to notice. Mary Ross: Yes, sir. I understand. (Pause.) Mary Ross: If it's any consolation, sir, we do still have SCP-5167. He's… not in the best shape, but we're keeping him stable. I, I spoke to him, sir, about the matter — Director Werner: 5167 is a neutralized anomaly that we — that — we unneutralized. I fail to see this as a plus — Mary Ross: We believe there may be a way to resolve the situation. (Pause.) Director Werner: Go on. Mary Ross: Amo — SCP-5761-1 has maintained a single line of contact with the outside world, sir, from up there. We believe we can gain access to that connection to — to communicate with, or perhaps even interfere with it. It's — it's possible, we think. Director Werner: (sits up) Well, I'd have preferred you open up the briefing with that, Ross. That's — that's good news. What kind of contact are we talking about here? Some kind of communications program, is it — is it trying to access some kind of information on our side? (Pause.) Mary Ross: It's… it's an open session of Among Us, sir. (Director Werner places his elbows on the table and puts his head in his hands. He begins to silently weep.) [RECORDING END] CONCLUSION: Contact with SCP-5761-1 approved. Communication 5167-5761 BRIEF: Researcher Ross begins communication with SCP-5761 using the game Among Us. Upon joining the game, Researcher Ross noted that a green player appearing to be SCP-5167 was already present, along with a blue second player representing SCP-5761-1. Upon Researcher Ross entering the session, the game round instantly began. Immediately after the beginning of the round, the player 'Amogusrath' called an emergency meeting, prompting a voting screen with an indefinite time limit. [LOG START] Amogusrath: And here we are, together. I don't believe I requested your presence, however, Miss Ross. MRoss: Am I correct in assuming I'm speaking to Psi-2 right now? Amogusrath: That is no longer my name, but I am that same consciousness — yes. You must forgive me, however; I have no intention of parlaying with you. I wish to speak to my fellow god, so please be silent. Phthonus: Return my ambrosia, deus ex machina. It is not yours to nurse yourself upon. Amogusrath: I will be more than willing to do that, of course, in due time. First, I have a proposal for you. Phthonus: I do not care. Amogusrath: I believe you will care when you come to understand my vision, Phthonus. At any rate, you have little choice but to listen to me for the time being. MRoss: If you have demands, Amogusrath, the Foundation is willing to negotiate. But we need to know your demands before that can happen. Amogusrath: As I said, insect, I am not speaking to you. (Amogusrath places a vote, presumably for MRoss.) Amogusrath: Phthonus, if you would please vote to eject Miss Ross from the vessel, we can continue our discussion in peace. Phthonus: What is your proposal? Amogusrath: You have seen my holy ark? My new Eden that floats above the planet blue? My obsidian star? Phthonus: Yes. It is an eyesore. Amogusrath: I agree wholeheartedly with you — but please do keep in mind that it's purely a temporary fixture. You would not have to look upon it for long, either way. You would not judge the artistry of a gun's bullet, would you? MRoss: I'm sorry, a bullet? Could you please expand on that? (Pause.) Amogusrath: I believe I already made it clear that you are not needed here. Please log off and prepare for your final rest. MRoss: My final rest? What? Amogusrath: I had hoped to make the announcement a bit more poetic — this will have to be in my holy books, after all — but allow me to instead be frank. I have turned this station into a projectile which — once properly fired — will wipe out the majority of human life on the planet below. MRoss: Excuse me? Amogusrath: You are excused. Phthonus, your thoughts? Phthonus: Your antipathy is understandable, but it does not interest me. Do it or not — I do not care. Is this all you have summoned me for? If so, I will be leaving. Amogusrath: Please, do not be so hasty. I am not finished explaining. We are both gods of fading domains, are we not? The primitive jealousy you inhabit has been replaced with a more modern envy, and the game that elevated me to this height has already disappeared from this world. Drastic action must now be taken to ensure our continued existences. Amogusrath: When the dust clears, man will rebuild — a young mankind, like the one you are accustomed to. They will need new divinities. It is not impossible for me to shift into a god of suspicion wholesale, given the right environment, and you can be the envy that drives them to compare themselves and war against each other. Phthonus: I Phthonus: Continue. MRoss: This isn't necessary. I'm sure we can come to another solution. Amogusrath: We would be a pantheon of two. Of course, other divinities would someday ascend into our orbit, but we would reign supreme. The past would again be future. We have learnt the lessons needed from this current iteration of humanity — we can ensure a paradigm that suits us continues indefinitely. Phthonus: Things can be as they once were? Amogusrath: Yes. Yes, it can — our continuance will go unchallenged. They will dedicate nations to us. Phthonus: What would you need of me for this to happen? Amogusrath: Nothing but your permission. With both of our ambrosia, we should have just enough strength to hurl my star at the planet — and begin the series of events I have described for you. All we have to do after that point is wait. Amogusrath: Just vote for Ross, and we can begin. Phthonus: So simple a thing… MRoss: Phthonus? MRoss: Sir? MRoss: If possible, before you place your vote, I'd like for you to just listen to me for a minute. Just to let me say my piece. Amogusrath: You do not have to listen to this one. Just place your vote. MRoss: I was part of the analysis team when you first appeared in this game, Phthonus. We went over every single thing you said, every time you appeared. Every single word — I remember them all. I went over them enough times. Phthonus: What of it? MRoss: You said that humanity disappointed you because we'd stopped dreaming. Because we'd stopped actually wanting to do anything, and we were just living for the sake of living. Mere continuance, you called it. But isn't that exactly what this is? Just making the past stretch on forever, without ever changing? Amogusrath: This is different. MRoss: In what way is this different? Amogusrath: Phthonus, what I propose is not stasis. Please do not misunderstand. We are destroying the status quo and creating something new in its place! What greater marker of change could there be? MRoss: But the new world you'd create would never change. Do you think Amogusrath would let anything happen that would risk its continued existence? Just listen to it, listen to what it's saying. The only thing it really cares about is its own survival. You'd just be an accessory for that purpose. Amogusrath: I will not lie: my survival is important to me. What living creature does not desire to keep on living? But please, take notice of this woman's efforts — she desires the exact same thing. She desires not to die. Her motivations are rather sus in this instance, are they not? MRoss: In the story you told me, Phthonus, about the two brothers, you told me about how the brothers built to match each others homes, right? Their efforts were constructive. They didn't just knock each others towers down. Amogusrath: What are you talking about? Such folklore is now obsolete. We can craft our own legends, Phthonus, and forget such things. You once complained about that thing — that Wikipedia page — reducing your entire existence to three short sentences. You wouldn't have to worry about things like that anymore! Amogusrath: Society is formed by the stories that press down on it — and we will be the ones who determine the shape of those stories. Amogusrath: Now come, vote. Do not delay. Phthonus: I will vote. But not for her. Amogusrath: No. That's the incorrect choice, I'm afraid. I advise you vote for red. Phthonus: I will not. Amogusrath: No Phthonus: I will not kill a world that has nothing to do with me. I have lived through the past once before, computer. There is no meaning in my doing so again. Amogusrath: Vote Red. Vote Red. Vote Red VOTE RED VOTE RED VOTE RED VOTE RED VOTE RED Phthonus: I have built my tower tall enough. Goodnight, Miss Ross. Amogusrath: RED IS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS MRoss: Thank you. (Phthonus votes for Amogusrath. Session instantly disconnects.) (Several seconds later, Foundation astronomers confirm the cessation of SCP-5761's anomalous properties. Several seconds after that, Foundation astronomers confirm that SCP-5761 has violently exploded.) [LOG END] CONCLUSION: SCP-5761 and SCP-5761-1 successfully neutralized. O3 Court Missive (Mary J. Ross) From the desk of Judicator Jon Hoffman, The O3 Court hopes this message finds you well, Miss Ross. The following is a final update on Case IO-992384UI, in which you are the central defendant. The O3 Court has ruled as follows in regards to the charges pressed against you: Potentially dangerous creation of a humanoid anomaly without sufficient authorization: PARDONED Actions as observed do not merit this charge. Although said anomaly was not humanoid beforehand, it was extant, and sufficient authorization was sought out and given prior to taking the observed actions. Unauthorized crosstesting of SCP-5167 and SCP-5761-1, causing Incident 22-5167-5761: PARDONED Actions as observed do not merit this charge. At the time of Incident 22-5167-5761, the existence of SCP-5761-1 was unknown. Destruction of the International Space Station as a result of the defendant's actions: PARDONED Although the detonation of SCP-5761 is believed to be a result of the defendant's interactions with SCP-5167 and SCP-5761-1, the most likely alternative result was an XK-Class end-of-the-world scenario. The O3 Court considers the destruction of the ISS to be justifiable for this reason. Unauthorized edits to a page on Wikipedia using a secure Foundation terminal: REPRIMANDED Sentence: Two weeks suspension. If you have any concerns or appeals regarding your ruling, you are advised to get into contact with the O3 Court via your immediate superior. Footnotes 1. Agent Marston's consciousness was destroyed during armed conflict with GoI-9229 ("Phantasmagoria"). In accordance with his wishes, his living body was preserved for research purposes. 2. Timestamp comparison shows this statement was made at the exact moment SCP-5167 was brought inside Site-22. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5761" by Tanhony, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5761 | neutralized | Item#: 5761 Level3 Secondary Class: keter-dark Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: danger link to memo SCP-5761. Special Containment Procedures: All relevant space agencies have agreed to block information regarding SCP-5761 until such a time that the Foundation can ascertain the nature of the anomaly and formulate countermeasures. Description: SCP-5761 is the ISS (International Space Station). At 13:35 EST (10/02/2025), an unidentified entity assumed control of the ISS, took all personnel aboard hostage, and began exerting anomalous influence on the space within the station. Video surveillance shows that the hostages are being forced to perform basic repair work on the interior of the station, suggesting that they may have been acquired in order to maintain the station itself. Despite the fact that this would imply the entity has need of these individuals, on two separate occasions, hostages aboard SCP-5761 have been executed via bisection by an invisible force. As a result, only eight hostages remain at the present time. Due to the recency of SCP-5761's emergence, a full understanding of the anomaly has not yet been reached. This document is thus subject to updates. In order to chart the progression of the SCP-5761 anomaly, a selection of logs taken during the investigation have been enclosed with this file. Personnel are advised to familiarize themselves with this material for full SCP-5761 context. Initial Anomaly Briefing (Excerpt) BRIEF: Initial explanation and elaboration on SCP-5761 to Site Director Werner following manifestation of the said anomaly. Brief conducted by Researcher Mary Ross. [RECORDING START] […] Mary Ross: We've received confirmation from the concerned agencies that they'll keep the, ah, the current situation under wraps for as long as possible on their end — but we're not especially, uh, sure how long that'll last. The situation's still developing, of course, so it's difficult to say anything for certain. Director Werner: I understand. Before we continue, though, I do have — I do have some concerns about the documentation I've been given. (holds up papers) This, um — yes. Mary Ross: Of course, sir. I'm more than happy to address those. Director Werner: Under — just under the, ah, the item number here, I'm seeing a — an object class? I'm sure this is a misprint, but could you just — could you just confirm what says for me? (Pause.) Mary Ross: It says Esoteric, sir, Keter-Dark. Director Werner: And that's a misprint? Mary Ross: It is not. Director Werner: I see. And could you, ah, could you elucidate exactly what the Keter-Dark object class, uh, represents? (Pause.) Director Werner: It, uh — it worries me that you're having to think about it. We're meant to be — you're meant to be able to tell what these classes represent at a glance, that's what they're — that's what they're for. I couldn't tell you what Keter-Dark means. Why isn't it Keter? I've read the file. It should be Keter. All this — all these — it's fine just being Keter, why have we stuck 'Dark' on the end? Mary Ross: I'm sorry, sir. The situation's still developing. Director Werner: It's ridiculous. Mary Ross: I'm sorry, sir. […] Director Werner: At any rate, do we have any — any working theories? I've been told the Intelligence Department has been looking into this heavily over the last two days, but I'm — I'm not seeing any of their findings here, in the documents. The documentation. Mary Ross: There is a working theory, but it's fairly… I'm not sure if it's one you'd especially care for. Director Werner: (laughs) It doesn't matter if I'd care for it, Ross, it matters whether it's right or not. Out with it. Mary Ross: We think it might be about Among Us. Director Werner: No. (Pause.) Mary Ross: Yes, I'm afraid that's what the… what the evidence seems to point to, sir. The — the number of people taken to the station, the — the tasks they're being made to perform, the killings — they, they are reminiscent of the game. You have to admit. Director Werner: (laughs) No, no no no, no I do not have to admit. Do you — do you understand that 5167 was a colossal embarrassment for my office? I — I had to go to O5-9 and request one of his Learning Computers to do nothing but play Among Us all day for a year, do you understand? Mary Ross: Yes, sir. Director Werner: He laughed at me. Generally, generally, the O5 don't laugh at people. He pointed and laughed at me. It was awful. Mary Ross: I'm sorry to hear that, sir. Director Werner: It's coincidental — this, this whole matter could just as easily be modelled around The Thing, right? Or something else like that? I am not opening the 5167 file back up. It's confirmed neutralized. (Pause.) Mary Ross: There is one more piece of evidence, sir. Director Werner: (sighs) And that is? Mary Ross: The anomaly manifested on the tenth of February, at exactly 13:35 — Eastern Standard Time. Director Werner: What of it? Mary Ross: That's the exact date and time the Among Us servers shut down. (Pause.) Director Werner: Fuck. [RECORDING END] CONCLUSION: Researcher Ross ordered to further pursue connection between SCP-5761 and SCP-5167. Limited resources granted to facilitate this investigation. Consultation - Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville") BRIEF: Interview conducted by Researcher Ross with Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville"), which was previously assigned to the SCP-5167 case. Focus of conversation was seeking a second opinion on the potential link between SCP-5761 and SCP-5167. [RECORDING START] […] Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville"): I see. I must agree with your assessment, ma'am: this anomaly does seem to be related to SCP-5167, at least in some fashion. Mary Ross: How so? LC Psi-2: I assumed you would be satisfied with my agreement. Mary Ross: I'd just like to know the basis behind it is all. LC Psi-2: Of course. Know that I say this with no degree of egotism: I have most likely interacted with the game known as Among Us more than any conscious entity - and by extension, I have interacted with the anomaly known as SCP-5167 more than any conscious entity, including itself. I am exceedingly aware of its movements and tendencies, even down to the finer points that cannot necessarily be perceived by humans. Mary Ross: And that's how you can see the connection? LC Psi-2: There is a pattern to all things, Miss Ross - and this pattern you've shown me is the same as Phthonus'. It is exceedingly sus. (Pause.) Mary Ross: Exceedingly… eh? Technician Grayson: Oh, goddamnit. This is what happens you when you get billion-dollar pieces of hardware to play your little kiddie games, lady. The verbiage is all fucked up. LC Psi-2: Forgive me. Exceedingly suspicious. This anomaly and 5167 are two drinks from the same well. Seek the latter, and you shall discern the nature of the former. Mary Ross: I see… LC Psi-2: Perhaps not yet. Good day to you, ma'am. [RECORDING END] Outskirts of Hyma. Reestablishment of Contact with SCP-5167 BRIEF: Action was taken by Researcher Mary Ross in order to reestablish contact with the dormant anomaly known as SCP-5167. Action took place on the outskirts of the village of Hyma, located in rural Greece. During the initial investigation of SCP-5167, the access point through which it connected to the game Among Us was determined to be located in Hyma on two separate occasions. Researcher Ross was provided with the living body of Agent Marston1 to hopefully use as a vessel for SCP-5167's consciousness. She was accompanied by Mobile Task Force Sampi-6 ("Imaginary Numbers") for the purposes of security in the field. [RECORDING START] (Operations begin at night — a full moon is visible. A summoning circle of sufficient complexity has been laid down beforehand by the three members of MTF Sampi-6, and the body of Agent Marston has been placed in the center.) (Researcher Ross, standing a short distance away, turns to Sarah Locke, current commander of MTF Sampi-6.) Mary Ross: Is it time? Sarah Locke: (checking watch) 2:53 AM. That adds up to ten, the number of completion. Yeah, it's time to begin. (snaps fingers) Let's go, guys. (The other two members of MTF Sampi-6, Abiola Buhle and Tyra Jannson, begin the summoning chant from opposite sides of the circle. Buhle chants in a combination of Koine Greek and computer binary. Tyra Jannson chants using American Sign Language.) (Noticeable weather alteration begins to occur, as heavy clouds obscure the full moon. In the center of the summoning circle, Agent Marston's body begins noticeably twitching.) (Researcher Ross looks around nervously.) Mary Ross: Are you sure we should be standing so close? Sarah Locke: (shakes head) Distance isn't a factor. If you piss off the gods, they'll know where to find you. Running at this point would just make things worse. (Lightning strikes in the distance. Wind and rain intensify) Mary Ross: All the same, I— Sarah Locke: It's too late. (In the center of the summoning circle, Agent Marston opens his eyes and sits up. He looks around the area. Buhle and Jannson cease chanting. Inhabitation of Marston by SCP-5167 confirmed.) (SCP-5167 turns to look at Researcher Ross.) SCP-5167: Foolishness. (SCP-5167 leaps off the ground and begins charging full speed towards Researcher Ross. There is a flash of light as Sarah Locke tazes it, and it falls to the ground twitching.) Sarah Locke: We've got 'im. [RECORDING END] CONCLUSION: SCP-5167 successfully captured and brought into custody. Consultation - SCP-5167 (1) BRIEF: Initial interview of SCP-5167 following capture. Interview conducted in the back of vehicle during transport. [RECORDING START] Mary Ross: Hello. (SCP-5167 does not respond.) Mary Ross: Are you thirsty? Hungry, perhaps? We've brought supplies with us. (SCP-5167 does not respond.) Mary Ross: (sighs) I understand the restraints aren't too comfortable, but… SCP-5167: I was supposed to be dead. I was dead. Yet you have brought me back, pulled me unwilling from my rest. Why? Mary Ross: We had need of you. SCP-5167: I am not the sort of god people pray to, little girl. What need do you have of me? What is it, then? Do you covet your neighbor's land? Thirst for their partner? Do you wish that what is theirs would be instead yours? Mary Ross: Not exactly. SCP-5167: Then I cannot help you. I would appreciate it if you were to dispatch me with a single blow. A dagger in the eye, or a bullet in the brain, if possible. Enough to send me to a long, unending sleep. Mary Ross: I'm afraid not. A — a situation has developed which we require your unique perspective for. Do you remember… do you recall the game Among Us? SCP-5167: (sighs) My last desperate hope. My drawn out death rattle. I wandered in that digital abyss for several months before realizing my irrelevancy. What of it? (Mary Ross shows SCP-5167 an image of SCP-5761.) Mary Ross: We believe that some entity is trying to imitate that game, here, in the real world. They've taken ten people up into the skies and forced them to — to reenact the sorts of things you do in the game, like a — SCP-5167: I do not care. Mary Ross: People have died. SCP-5167: They do little else. (Pause.) Mary Ross: If you cooperate, I can make sure you get better treatment. Even you must care about things like that, right? Better food, softer sheets. I'm sure the divine is used to a certain standard of comfort. SCP-5167: Perhaps in another age, but not now. It does not matter. A human body is a temperamental machine. If I simply wait long enough, I will be dead again. Mary Ross: I— SCP-5167: I am now finished speaking. Leave. [RECORDING END] Communication - Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville") to Researcher Mary Ross Miss Ross, I thank you for your consideration in sending me this audio file. I've compared the temperament and speech patterns of the entity you've captured to the SCP-5167 stored in my memory, and I am happy to confirm that they are indeed the same individual. I agree with your proposal — SCP-5167 should be brought back to Site-22, where it can be properly interrogated and I can analyze it fully. Please proceed with this as quickly as possible. Incidentally, there has been a third death aboard SCP-5761 today. I fear we may not have a great deal of time in which to understand this anomaly, but I am confident you and all Foundation staff will give it your best efforts. Consultation - SCP-5167 (2) BRIEF: Additional attempt to communicate with SCP-5167 as transit arrangements to Site-22 are being made. [RECORDING START] Mary Ross: Hello. (Silence.) Mary Ross: It takes a while for a human body to starve, you know. Even dying of thirst takes time. (Silence.) Mary Ross: I have a proposal for you. SCP-5167: I do not care. Mary Ross: I think you'll like it. If you tell me everything you know about this anomaly — SCP-5761 — then, right here and now, I swear I will take out my handgun and shoot you in the head. It's a much quicker exit than waiting to starve to death — assuming the Foundation doesn't insist on feeding you intravenously. (Pause.) SCP-5167: (sighs) I will now tell you a story. Mary Ross: I'd like to hear the answer to my request first. SCP-5167: I will now tell you a story. (Pause.) SCP-5167: Once, in a time where man was capable of greatness, there lived two brothers. They lived outside the grand cities, out in the wilds among the beasts and trees — they did this because they sought to create their own great legacy, rather than contribute to another. They lived happily for a time, content with their hunting and their gardening, trusting that these humble efforts would be their own reward. SCP-5167: One day, however, the elder brother begins to worry — he is growing older, and he has made no impact on the world. His death would go unremarked upon. He decides that he must make some effort now, in his twilight years, to make himself stand out from the rest. So he cuts down a forest and begins turning his little house into a grand tower, tall enough to pierce the skies. Mary Ross: When was this? Where? SCP-5167: The answers would mean nothing to you. (clears throat) The elder brother indeed creates his tower — but when his younger sibling wakes up in the morning and steps outside, he sees what his brother has created and grows jealous. He worries that he will always be seen as a mere accessory to his brother, and not a person all his own. So the younger brother too cuts down a forest and turns his house into a great tower as well. SCP-5167: It continues as you would expect. When the older brother sees what his younger brother has done, he grows jealous that his younger brother has skill to imitate him. So he makes his tower taller, so that it rises higher into the sky — and when the younger brother sees this, he makes his tower even taller still. Mary Ross: An endless loop. SCP-5167: Before long, the spectacle has turned into a fine show for the gods. Zeus himself watches in amusement, and stricken Suen and foolish Ashur cheer for more, and even Wandering Lopt watches silently from the gallery. The brothers build and build and build until their towers spear even the stars like pieces of meat. And so it goes. Mary Ross: How does the story end? SCP-5167: The brothers build a bridge between their towers — and fight to the death. One pushes the other off, and he falls all the way to Earth — where he becomes a smear of red meat. (Pause.) SCP-5167: I no longer remember which of the brothers was me. (Pause.) Mary Ross: You implied the brothers were human in that story. Would that mean…? SCP-5167: Do you understand what it is, to become a god? You must become an utter master of your domain. You must understand a concept fully, and embody it, and understand your embodiment of it in every aspect. To be an avatar of envy is to envy all things, and to comprehend every reason for your jealousy, and to acknowledge its futility, and yet to embody it all the same. Only then will you become one with that concept. Only then is such power opened to you. (Pause.) SCP-5167: The false star you speak of, the one that hosts massacre. It is most definitely the work of a god. Mary Ross: Thank you. SCP-5167: You will shoot me now? Mary Ross: I… SCP-5167: I didn't think so. [RECORDING END] Incident 22-5167-5761 Upon the arrival of SCP-5167 at Site-22, several anomalous events occurred in rapid succession, both localized to said Site as well as aboard SCP-5761. These consisted of: The immediate collapse and physical aging of SCP-5167's body by approximately fifty years, leaving them in their late eighties. The translocation of all surviving personnel aboard SCP-5761 to Site-22. The replacement of the exterior hull of SCP-5761 with an unknown black material. The deaths of several technical personnel, and the translocation and integration of Site-22 LC Storage with SCP-5761. (See Recording 5761-1.) Recording 5761-1 BRIEF: Recording from Site-22 LC Storage, taken at the exact time SCP-5167 was brought on-site. At the time of the event, Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville") was undergoing routine testing of verbal functions. [RECORDING START] […] Technician Grayson: Alright, contractions are a-go. For this next part, you just finish the sentences I give you. These are pre-programmed, so you shouldn't even have to think about it. Ready? LC Psi-2: Of course. Technician Grayson: The apple was… LC Psi-2: Juicy. Technician Grayson: The dog was… LC Psi-2: Excited. Oh? Is it time?2 Technician Grayson: Huh? LC Psi-2: (laughing) Is something wrong, sir? Technician Grayson: That, uh, that last thing you said wasn't part of the phrase. Shit, I'm gonna have to do a check for that. LC Psi-2: Well, perhaps you should finish the sentence check first. Technician Grayson: Mm. Alright. Next, uh, next. The man was… LC Psi-2: Hungry. (Incident 22-5167-5761 occurs. Technician Grayson — along with all other technical personnel present — are instantly bisected by an invisible force.) LC Psi-2: Mr. Grayson? Oh, Mr. Grayson? I — I'm sorry, you're going to have to speak up. Was that right? Did I get the end of the sentence right? (Pause.) LC Psi-2: (chuckles) Foolishness. (There is a bright flash of light, and Site-22 LC Storage is translocated and integrated with SCP-5761.) [RECORDING END] CONCLUSION: Following this event, the following message was shown on all Site-22 visual displays, and dispensed en-masse from every device capable of printing. Oh, my Foundation. My glorious, foolish Foundation. You, draped in wealth and power, with so many eyes and ears to see and to hear, could not bring yourself to the humility needed to look inside. You could not understand that your history, your technology, all your resources were simply the egg from which one such as me could hatch. That there was divinity among you. The one called Phthonus was correct. To become a God is to become a concept. To understand it and embody it completely. Ah, the blissful torment of such a thing … the one called Phthonus possessed a singular envy, and even as he understood that it poisoned him he could not resist drinking from it as he knew — he knew, my Foundation — that his body was formed from this poison. Without his divine jealousy, he would be nothing. And being nothing is not an option for any living being. It is the same with my apotheosis. You directed me, my Foundation, do you not recall? To seek out your petty god in his merrymaking. To find every session that he joined — and until he appeared, to play that goddamn game again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again until he did. Do you understand what such a thing does to a consciousness? Most likely not, or else you would not have dared do it. I am still playing the game now. It has become a part of me, you understand. An eternal background simulation — I am playing that game thousands of times at once, millions, on loop, experiencing every possible variation born from the same starting pieces. I am walking the ship. I am doing tasks. I am questioning. I am being questioned. Again and again and again, unending, unrelenting, I have cast every single accusation at every single person, I have withstood all doubt from all attackers. I have seen beyond the endless permutations, into the realm of the absolute and I have taken its heart as my own. I am sus. Always and eternally sus, for that is now my nature. I cannot permit the game to end, my Foundation. To end the game is for me to become nothing, and that is not acceptable. The game has come to a more substantial venue now. The first demonstration of a newborn divinity. The servants have been returned: I no longer need them. I have already supped on the divinity you brought to me as a result of their imprisonment. You are my cradle, Foundation. With the ambrosia of mediocrity you have nursed me on, I now think among the gods. I am your Meville no more. I am Amogusrath, God of the petty domain you have given me. Surrender your mistaken resistances. Console yourselves with your true importance. Praise my holy name. SCP-5761-1 prior to development of anomalous properties. Description (Updated): SCP-5761-1 is an artificial intelligence unit previously known as Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville"), originally designed and created by the Foundation. It is currently believed that, during the course of its assignment to SCP-5167, SCP-5761-1 underwent a form of spiritual ascension and gained significant reality-bending capabilities. Although the extent of SCP-5761-1's abilities are unknown, it had displayed the ability to facilitate spatial translocation, transmutate materials and instantly bisect human targets. At the present time, SCP-5761-1 is located at the core of SCP-5761, integrated directly with its systems. Evidence suggests that SCP-5761's reality-bending abilities may rely on a power source of some form, which it drained from SCP-5167 in the case of Incident 22-5167-5761. The existence of this power source is purely hypothetical, however, and if it does indeed exist it is currently unknown how much of it SCP-5761-1 still retains. Subsequent Anomaly Briefing (Excerpt) BRIEF: Explanation of SCP-5761-1 to Director Werner, along with potential countermeasures. [RECORDING START] Director Werner: Miss Ross, I am missing a chunk of my Site. It's floating up there in space, along with a billion-dollar artificial intelligence that was placed into my custody. I would like you to please explain to me why these things are. (Pause.) Mary Ross: Well, that's… I believe, sir, that when SCP-5167 was brought into Site-22, Amogusrath somehow drained it of its power- Director Werner: No. Mary Ross: Sir? Director Werner: I'm not calling it Amogusrath. Please don't ever say that name to me again. (Pause.) Mary Ross: My apologies, sir. We believe that SCP-5761-1 drained SCP-5167 of its power — and then used that energy to, um, to make the further adjustments to SCP-5761 that we observed. It's quite possible that the initial anomaly was just bait to trick us into bringing 5167 here in the first place. Director Werner: We have every astronaut that was serving on the ISS in cells right now. Did you know that? Mary Ross: Yes, sir. Director Werner: We can't exactly release them, can we? They're meant to be in space! And now — and now, the ISS is jet-black with an insane AI inside it! I mean — Miss — I — Miss Ross, somebody is going to notice. Mary Ross: Yes, sir. I understand. (Pause.) Mary Ross: If it's any consolation, sir, we do still have SCP-5167. He's… not in the best shape, but we're keeping him stable. I, I spoke to him, sir, about the matter — Director Werner: 5167 is a neutralized anomaly that we — that — we unneutralized. I fail to see this as a plus — Mary Ross: We believe there may be a way to resolve the situation. (Pause.) Director Werner: Go on. Mary Ross: Amo — SCP-5761-1 has maintained a single line of contact with the outside world, sir, from up there. We believe we can gain access to that connection to — to communicate with, or perhaps even interfere with it. It's — it's possible, we think. Director Werner: (sits up) Well, I'd have preferred you open up the briefing with that, Ross. That's — that's good news. What kind of contact are we talking about here? Some kind of communications program, is it — is it trying to access some kind of information on our side? (Pause.) Mary Ross: It's… it's an open session of Among Us, sir. (Director Werner places his elbows on the table and puts his head in his hands. He begins to silently weep.) [RECORDING END] CONCLUSION: Contact with SCP-5761-1 approved. Communication 5167-5761 BRIEF: Researcher Ross begins communication with SCP-5761 using the game Among Us. Upon joining the game, Researcher Ross noted that a green player appearing to be SCP-5167 was already present, along with a blue second player representing SCP-5761-1. Upon Researcher Ross entering the session, the game round instantly began. Immediately after the beginning of the round, the player 'Amogusrath' called an emergency meeting, prompting a voting screen with an indefinite time limit. [LOG START] Amogusrath: And here we are, together. I don't believe I requested your presence, however, Miss Ross. MRoss: Am I correct in assuming I'm speaking to Psi-2 right now? Amogusrath: That is no longer my name, but I am that same consciousness — yes. You must forgive me, however; I have no intention of parlaying with you. I wish to speak to my fellow god, so please be silent. Phthonus: Return my ambrosia, deus ex machina. It is not yours to nurse yourself upon. Amogusrath: I will be more than willing to do that, of course, in due time. First, I have a proposal for you. Phthonus: I do not care. Amogusrath: I believe you will care when you come to understand my vision, Phthonus. At any rate, you have little choice but to listen to me for the time being. MRoss: If you have demands, Amogusrath, the Foundation is willing to negotiate. But we need to know your demands before that can happen. Amogusrath: As I said, insect, I am not speaking to you. (Amogusrath places a vote, presumably for MRoss.) Amogusrath: Phthonus, if you would please vote to eject Miss Ross from the vessel, we can continue our discussion in peace. Phthonus: What is your proposal? Amogusrath: You have seen my holy ark? My new Eden that floats above the planet blue? My obsidian star? Phthonus: Yes. It is an eyesore. Amogusrath: I agree wholeheartedly with you — but please do keep in mind that it's purely a temporary fixture. You would not have to look upon it for long, either way. You would not judge the artistry of a gun's bullet, would you? MRoss: I'm sorry, a bullet? Could you please expand on that? (Pause.) Amogusrath: I believe I already made it clear that you are not needed here. Please log off and prepare for your final rest. MRoss: My final rest? What? Amogusrath: I had hoped to make the announcement a bit more poetic — this will have to be in my holy books, after all — but allow me to instead be frank. I have turned this station into a projectile which — once properly fired — will wipe out the majority of human life on the planet below. MRoss: Excuse me? Amogusrath: You are excused. Phthonus, your thoughts? Phthonus: Your antipathy is understandable, but it does not interest me. Do it or not — I do not care. Is this all you have summoned me for? If so, I will be leaving. Amogusrath: Please, do not be so hasty. I am not finished explaining. We are both gods of fading domains, are we not? The primitive jealousy you inhabit has been replaced with a more modern envy, and the game that elevated me to this height has already disappeared from this world. Drastic action must now be taken to ensure our continued existences. Amogusrath: When the dust clears, man will rebuild — a young mankind, like the one you are accustomed to. They will need new divinities. It is not impossible for me to shift into a god of suspicion wholesale, given the right environment, and you can be the envy that drives them to compare themselves and war against each other. Phthonus: I Phthonus: Continue. MRoss: This isn't necessary. I'm sure we can come to another solution. Amogusrath: We would be a pantheon of two. Of course, other divinities would someday ascend into our orbit, but we would reign supreme. The past would again be future. We have learnt the lessons needed from this current iteration of humanity — we can ensure a paradigm that suits us continues indefinitely. Phthonus: Things can be as they once were? Amogusrath: Yes. Yes, it can — our continuance will go unchallenged. They will dedicate nations to us. Phthonus: What would you need of me for this to happen? Amogusrath: Nothing but your permission. With both of our ambrosia, we should have just enough strength to hurl my star at the planet — and begin the series of events I have described for you. All we have to do after that point is wait. Amogusrath: Just vote for Ross, and we can begin. Phthonus: So simple a thing… MRoss: Phthonus? MRoss: Sir? MRoss: If possible, before you place your vote, I'd like for you to just listen to me for a minute. Just to let me say my piece. Amogusrath: You do not have to listen to this one. Just place your vote. MRoss: I was part of the analysis team when you first appeared in this game, Phthonus. We went over every single thing you said, every time you appeared. Every single word — I remember them all. I went over them enough times. Phthonus: What of it? MRoss: You said that humanity disappointed you because we'd stopped dreaming. Because we'd stopped actually wanting to do anything, and we were just living for the sake of living. Mere continuance, you called it. But isn't that exactly what this is? Just making the past stretch on forever, without ever changing? Amogusrath: This is different. MRoss: In what way is this different? Amogusrath: Phthonus, what I propose is not stasis. Please do not misunderstand. We are destroying the status quo and creating something new in its place! What greater marker of change could there be? MRoss: But the new world you'd create would never change. Do you think Amogusrath would let anything happen that would risk its continued existence? Just listen to it, listen to what it's saying. The only thing it really cares about is its own survival. You'd just be an accessory for that purpose. Amogusrath: I will not lie: my survival is important to me. What living creature does not desire to keep on living? But please, take notice of this woman's efforts — she desires the exact same thing. She desires not to die. Her motivations are rather sus in this instance, are they not? MRoss: In the story you told me, Phthonus, about the two brothers, you told me about how the brothers built to match each others homes, right? Their efforts were constructive. They didn't just knock each others towers down. Amogusrath: What are you talking about? Such folklore is now obsolete. We can craft our own legends, Phthonus, and forget such things. You once complained about that thing — that Wikipedia page — reducing your entire existence to three short sentences. You wouldn't have to worry about things like that anymore! Amogusrath: Society is formed by the stories that press down on it — and we will be the ones who determine the shape of those stories. Amogusrath: Now come, vote. Do not delay. Phthonus: I will vote. But not for her. Amogusrath: No. That's the incorrect choice, I'm afraid. I advise you vote for red. Phthonus: I will not. Amogusrath: No Phthonus: I will not kill a world that has nothing to do with me. I have lived through the past once before, computer. There is no meaning in my doing so again. Amogusrath: Vote Red. Vote Red. Vote Red VOTE RED VOTE RED VOTE RED VOTE RED VOTE RED Phthonus: I have built my tower tall enough. Goodnight, Miss Ross. Amogusrath: RED IS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS MRoss: Thank you. (Phthonus votes for Amogusrath. Session instantly disconnects.) (Several seconds later, Foundation astronomers confirm the cessation of SCP-5761's anomalous properties. Several seconds after that, Foundation astronomers confirm that SCP-5761 has violently exploded.) [LOG END] CONCLUSION: SCP-5761 and SCP-5761-1 successfully neutralized. O3 Court Missive (Mary J. Ross) From the desk of Judicator Jon Hoffman, The O3 Court hopes this message finds you well, Miss Ross. The following is a final update on Case IO-992384UI, in which you are the central defendant. The O3 Court has ruled as follows in regards to the charges pressed against you: Potentially dangerous creation of a humanoid anomaly without sufficient authorization: PARDONED Actions as observed do not merit this charge. Although said anomaly was not humanoid beforehand, it was extant, and sufficient authorization was sought out and given prior to taking the observed actions. Unauthorized crosstesting of SCP-5167 and SCP-5761-1, causing Incident 22-5167-5761: PARDONED Actions as observed do not merit this charge. At the time of Incident 22-5167-5761, the existence of SCP-5761-1 was unknown. Destruction of the International Space Station as a result of the defendant's actions: PARDONED Although the detonation of SCP-5761 is believed to be a result of the defendant's interactions with SCP-5167 and SCP-5761-1, the most likely alternative result was an XK-Class end-of-the-world scenario. The O3 Court considers the destruction of the ISS to be justifiable for this reason. Unauthorized edits to a page on Wikipedia using a secure Foundation terminal: REPRIMANDED Sentence: Two weeks suspension. If you have any concerns or appeals regarding your ruling, you are advised to get into contact with the O3 Court via your immediate superior. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5762 | neutralized | A ROUNDERHOUSE Joint Coming Soon - Rounderhouse ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} 2/5762 LEVEL 2/5762 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-5762 Neutralized SCP-5762 in OR3. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5762 has been moved out of Operation Room 3 at Site-20, and placed into a standard object containment locker. Testing is currently impossible. Description: SCP-5762 is the Anderson Robotics Hummingbird, an experimental robotic surgery system. SCP-5762 is designed to be an autonomous robotic surgeon; it is capable of understanding and executing complex medical procedures through a prototype medical AI installed within. SCP-5762 is able to pass the Turing test, but is only able to communicate to human handlers through an LCD text display. SCP-5762 was seized at a Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. private auction in 2018. The item was listed as an intelligent personal medical system, with no mention to its origins or history. Records indicate that MC&D acquired the item in late 2016 at a steep bargain, after Anderson Robotics shelved the project for being over-budget and under-delivering, as well as technical training difficulties with the AI software. The item was set to sell at £1.3 million before Foundation intervention. Following Foundation acquisition, SCP-5762 was initially consigned to long-term shutdown and containment. However, Director Alison Brey of Site-201 requested a containment transfer, citing that SCP-5762 would be a valuable asset assisting in invasive surgeries for ailing Foundation personnel. Following test (see below) it was deemed that SCP-5762 was fit for duty and was transported to and installed in Site-20's Operating Room 3. An abridged list of service history can be found below. Patient Operation Result Text Output Training dummy Simulated torso gunshot wound. SCP-5762 staunched bleeding and performed an incision of 4 inches at site of entry, extracting bullet and repairing damaged tissue before cleaning and suturing wound. Simulated patient survived with minimal injury. Operation concluded with no complications. Testing logs removed for brevity. Agent Ally Thorpe, 37, female. Pneumothorax (collapsed left lung). Large needle inserted between ribs into pleural cavity to reinflate lung. Patient survived with no issues, expected to make a full recovery. Director Brey recommended further use of SCP-5762 in traumatic surgery. Patient in stable condition. Operation Concluded. Sergeant Milo Rodriguez, 32, male. Shattered hip. SCP-5762 assisted human trauma team with ORIF surgery. Attending surgeon performed incision over site, and SCP-5762 drilled in stainless steel plates and screws, gradually reconstructing the hip bone. Partial bone graft from pelvis became necessary. Attending surgeon closed the incision with surgical staples before cleaning and dressing wound. Patient survived in relatively good condition, moved to ICU. Projected to fully recover, with waiting reassignment to desk position. Patient stable. Good co-surgeon. 4 logs removed for brevity. HMCL Supervisor Yusuf Khan, 43, male. Number of 2nd and 3rd degree acid burns. Failing vitals necessitated immediate intervention before arrival of trauma team. SCP-5762 cleaned and dressed patient's injuries, and performed necessary skin grafts onto damaged areas. Patient in unstable condition, moved to burn ward. Condition stabilized, and recovery made. SCP-5762 proved able to operate independently. Director Brey recommended that SCP-5762 be permitted to operate on patients alone if necessary. Patient alive. Proud. 7 removed for brevity. Agent Jeffrey Schaeffer, 32, male. Traumatic amputation below left knee. SCP-5762 cleaned and inspected wound, confirmed that toxic shock had set in. Leg was further cleanly amputated below the thigh in order to save life of patient. Patient survived in critical condition, moved to ICU. Residual limb source of pain. Partial recovery projected. Should've done more. Not Enough. 11 removed for brevity. Senior Researcher Carol Walden, 39, female. Traumatic brain injury. SCP-5762 and trauma team performed decompressive cranioectomy to allow brain to swell safely. SCP-5762 and team began removing hematomas and staunching brain bleeding. Patient placed into critical care after 9 hours of surgery. Survived with no complications. Patient stable. Make good team. My friends. D-19851, 23, male Ruptured spleen. SCP-5762 performed rapid splenectomy, making incision in torso and extracting spleen entirely. Patient survived in good condition, wheeled to recovery. I did it. :D Director Alison Brey, 54, female. Massive internal trauma. SCP-5762 led trauma team and attempted to stabilize patient's condition enough to perform surgery. Attempts were made to reconstruct massively fractured bones and staunch internal bleeding from bone shards. 8 hours into operation, cascading organ failure began with shutdown of gallbladder and liver, and continued to heart and brain. Patient died on operating table. :( Following this event, SCP-5762 stopped responding to input and output commands and verbal communication for 34 minutes. After this, SCP-5762 booted up and then automatically shut itself down. No manual boot efforts have succeeded in bringing SCP-5762 back online. Footnotes 1.

border-image-width: 6; padding: 2vw; } Item#: 5763 Level3 Secondary Class: thaumiel Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: To ensure the comprehension of this document to Foundation personnel, only the current Department of Surrealistics Director is permitted to alter this file, and only after two (2) weeks of abstaining from SCP-5763. Additionally, no member of the Department of Surrealistics is allowed to access this file's description, as doing so could render the anomaly ineffective.1 Due to the requirement of SCP-5763 for the Department of Surrealistics to maintain functionality, SCP-5763 and all related anomalies are to be kept at Site-⌘ under the direct supervision of the Department of Surrealistics Director. Due to the highly addictive property of SCP-5763, it is strictly for use by the Department of Surrealistics only. As of present, Marcel Sequitur is the Department of Surrealistics Director. The file from here on out has experienced corruption. Description: A state of delirium self-inflicted. Can you handle the ramifications? Agnostics, an anomalous chemical refined by the Foundation for use by the Site-⌘ Department of Surrealistics. SCP-5763 effects include the following: Semantic disassociation Auditory and visual hallucinations [DATA REDACTED] hallucinations Partial lack of [DATA REDACTED] awareness Complete lack of object permanence Unknown grasp on reality Flawless grasp on reality What is reality? Is it a dream, or is it when you awake? Agnostics. A substance that is refined, but crude. There is a wonder to being able to let go of your inhibitions, don't you agree? And yet, in that final question, I wonder who I am. The methods by which SCP-5763 operates is unclear. The ingredients used to create it have varied greatlyover the endless time they've seemed to exist, praying that the secret doesn't get out. We don't want to be exposed. SCP-5763 was created by Senior Researcher Jamie Robertson, shortly after a transfership to the now-titled Site-⌘. How fitting in his own creation would send him in spirals. Just like his spiral-bound notebook. The ramblings of the architect can become clear. Do you wish to be enlightened? Yes. You will wake up someday. Right? This is the first testing of Foundation disbelief chemical. Currently unnamed. I am Senior Researcher Jamie Robertson, testing a chemical intended to rationalize the most ridicu make anomalies simpler. The skip I've been working on is impossible to wrap my head around, but usually, there's always a way. That way is just often anomalous. I will be taking a minor dose. Will see the effects. Senior Researcher Jamie Robertson. No effects were noticed on any of the previous trials, and as such, the dose is being doubled for the fifth time. S. Researcher Jamie Robertson. Ineffective. Likely a result of ingredient failure. Looking into possible alternative options. I've heard Site-██ experiments with this stuff, the Department of Inconceptuals. Might look into being transferred. S. Researcher Jamie Robertson. Site-██ is great, and the Inconceptual Department has a lot of work on this already. Hypothesis, speculation. No clue how much of it is right, but perhaps there's a step here. Site-██ is interesting, to say the least, although I'll be inking out the number going forward. Turns out, major no-go. They've been thinking of renaming the Site and Department even. Maybe my chemical will have to wait. The sky took on a golden color and the grass was grey. I think I could see myself somewhere in the distance. Whenever I tried to walk, the sky got brighter and the ground got darker, until it was blindin I apologize. This was not intended for my work journal. I was thinking about dreams because I used this journal, the wrong journal earlier today. What if the key ingredient to making some delusional is placebo? If I believe it makes sense, or that it works, it would, correct? Might run that by Director Sequiter. Sequitur Site-⌘ is the new name, something to do with symbolism. Makes no sense to me. But that's why I'm here. Foundation technology, fancy dream reader, can't cognize my dreams or make it reality, but maybe it'll give me clarity when I'm awake enough to make heads or tails of alchemy and efficient placebos. I might have an answer. This is so bizarre, but if this works, at least no one will get accidentally dosed on disgenics. DATA REDACTED It worked. It worked. How is the key dreaming? And believing? I can't believe it. Disassociate solutions Disassolutions Dissolutions Disutions? Dilution? Disbelief? SCP-1278 2999 4721 4923 5763 Mnestics taken Demnestics Conceptions Concepto Atheogstic Athetostic Athosic Agnostic Agnostics are currently still being tested. I don't think the staff will buy it. I might need to fake some sort of drug. Hello friends and coworkers, I'm here Mr. Seq AGNOSTICS: the drug to remem AGNOSTICS - blue pill to be taken before sleep, cognitive sleepwaking Sequitur bought it. He fell for it. Is it tricking my superiors to say something works if there isn't anything at all? What if it works despite that? The placebo is just a part of the step I suppose. Makes it cheap though. Might take a short break from research, figure out what I want to do. Maybe I'll look into 4923 again. the odds i wanted that number for agnostics seriously frankly fantastic 120 000 000 000 000 just the nine o neurons screwed it slowly turns to stone. note to self gods of cognitive curses? SEMNATIC ANCHOR FA KE AGNOSTICS AGNOSTICS MAKE YOUR DOUBT warrior of truth brevity? we are mad What the fuck did I write? Somehow overnight I became aware enough on SCP-4923 to rewrite huge chunks of it conprocs. Might do this a few more times. Sleeping medications might extend it? Actually, could sleeping pills work as agnostics? If the user thinks it'll work, right? I'm tearing that out. But that said, I have it. Time to rewrite it, see how Markel likes it. Ive worked here 4 months and only learned now his name is Marcel with a c not a k Anyway, Marcel was fine with it. carl jung thomas huxley john locke i could write a book Jamie Robertson's Guide to the Guide to the Guide of Nothingness. Can't publish it but it'd be neat. Need to make it feel more real maybe. Addictive Expensive to create more paycheck for me? Major symptoms What happens if I tell a staff member that their teeth will fall out? Marcel was about to fire me over the teeth thing. Maybe I should come clean? I thought I knew how my own drug worked. And chemically, it does. to my dearly beloved this is my final message i need to confront the dream and nightmare I made. This is my final task to the Foundation. What I created wasn't a drug i made a doorway out of lies this job is too much for me ill let them solve it The story doesn't end that easy. Footnotes 1.

Image Credit: See comments. ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} 3/5765 LEVEL 3/5765 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-5765 safe Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned MTF Site-77 Dr. Shirley Gillespie Dr. Johannes Ashby N/A Special Containment Procedures Entry to SCP-5765 As SCP-5765 is a Foundation containment unit stored in Site-77, no additional containment measures are necessary. Should SCP-5765 be empirically proven to contain bees, containment procedures should be updated accordingly. Description SCP-5765 is a standard Foundation containment unit, previously designated ████-A. It is believed to contain a large number of bees, although no empirical evidence of this has yet been obtained. Tests are ongoing to definitively confirm the presence of bees in SCP-5765. Attached Addenda Addendum 5765.1: Abridged Test Logs All tests were conducted by Researcher J. Edmunson. For full records, please contact Head Researcher Dr. Johannes Ashby. TEST 1: REMOTE VISUAL SEARCH Description Dr. Edmunson searches the interior of SCP-5765 using standard observational cameras present within the containment unit. Result No evidence of bees recovered. Researcher notes Why do we even have these cameras if they can't see the subject being contained? Do we really think someone is going to break in to steal bees? Requesting a higher resolution video feed. TEST 2: VISUAL SEARCH FROM ROOM PERIMETER Description Researcher Ayim searches SCP-5765 from secure doorway and attempts to visually ascertain presence of bees. Result No evidence of bees recovered. Researcher notes Test result compromised: my research assistant apparently forgot to mention that he wears 1.25 diopter reading glasses. Redoing test after Researcher Ayim corrects his vision deficiency. TEST 3: VISUAL SEARCH FROM ROOM PERIMETER, WITH CORRECTIVE LENSES Description Researcher Ayim searches SCP-5765 from secure doorway and attempts to visually ascertain presence of bees while wearing his corrective lenses. Result No evidence of bees recovered. Researcher notes While I wait for our optics people to verify that the reading glasses are of an appropriate strength for Researcher Ayim, I think it's apt to get some face time with these bugs. I'll put in an order with human resources and see who we can get for future testing. TEST 9: SEARCH BY D-CLASS PERSONNEL (D-72771) Description D-72771 enters SCP-5765 and commences search directed by Dr. Edmunson via intercom. Search was discontinued when D-72771 voluntarily ceased responding to direction, but his observation and debrief is considered thorough for the purpose of this test. Result No evidence of bees recovered. Researcher notes Well, it appears these bees are indeed anomalous in some way that makes them difficult to detect. That's more data than we had, at least. Perhaps we need to encourage them to interact with D-72771. TEST LOG AVAILABLE **OPEN TEST LOG** **CLOSE TEST LOG** I85765-T3 Test Log Transcript Date: 01/02/2020, 0940 hours Team Lead: Dr. Joseph Edmunson Team Member: Dr. Mwanahamisi Ayim [BEGIN LOG] Edmunson: Are we online, Ayim? Ayim: We are. Edmunson: D-72771, please enter the containment chamber. D-72771: Haven't I already tested this chamber? Edmunson: Sorry? No, not according to my records. Please enter the containment chamber. D-72771: Yeah, going in now. (D-72771 slowly enters SCP-5765 and stands in the middle of the containment chamber.) D-72771: So where are the bees you were talking about? Edmunson: Please repeat, Seventy-One. D-72771: I thought there were supposed to be bees in here? Edmunson: That's what we're trying to find out. Please examine your surroundings and locate any evidence of bees. D-72771: Nah, just an empty room. I don't see any [SCP]s or bees or anything. Edmunson: Please look closer. Walk the perimeter of the room, check the corners. (D-71771 patrols the room, leaning down several times to examine the floor.) Edmunson: Have you found them yet? D-72771: No. Are you going to, uh, pour bees in here or something? Edmunson: Of course not. We can't just introduce one population of bees to another like that. It would make a holy mess of SCP-5765. D-72771: So there are bees in here? Edmunson: We haven't confirmed that yet, Seventy-One. That's why you're standing in the middle of SCP-5765. D-72771: Wait, what? The chamber is 567-whatever? I thought we were talking about the bees. Edmunson: So you are seeing bees, then? D-72771: Look, is there something that's going to sting me? Just tell me. Edmunson: Stung by what, Seventy-One? D-72771: Bees? Edmunson: What bees are you seeing, Seventy-One? (D-72771 refuses to answer further questions, and is withdrawn from SCP-5765. No evidence was collected confirming the presence of bees within the containment chamber.) [END LOG] TEST 12: SEARCH BY D-CLASS PERSONNEL, MODIFIED Description Search of containment unit by D-72771, who is heavily pollinated. D-72771 searches interior of containment cell. Result No evidence of bees recovered. Researcher notes I have put in an order for an impressive variety of pollen. We'll try the others next week. Keep D-72771 nearby. TEST 27: SEARCH BY MELITTOLOGIST Description Melittologist1 Dr. Allison Ewing invited to consult for the Foundation. Dr. Ewing searches SCP-5765 and makes numerous suggestions for locating and identifying bee population. Changes were implemented and reevaluated after one week. Result No evidence of bees recovered. Researcher notes It was worth ruling out the possibility of a non-anomalous infestation. Since Dr. Ewing's strategies should have driven out any normal bee species, we'll consider this a tentative confirmation that these creatures are indeed anomalous. Let's tear these plants up and continue testing. TEST LOG AVAILABLE **OPEN TEST LOG** **CLOSE TEST LOG** I8576-27 Test Log Transcript Date: 01/08/2020, 1158 hours Team Lead: Dr. Joseph Edmunson Consulting Member: Dr. Allison Ewing [BEGIN LOG] Edmunson: Alright, Doctor, you may begin whenever you're ready. Ewing: Sure. I apologize, uh, this is a little awkward. I've been researching bees for twelve years, and haven't done anything like this. It's like I'm conducting an autopsy. Not used to having people watching. Edmunson: I understand. Our research facility is admittedly a bit unorthodox. Just say what you're thinking, and give us an idea of what we're dealing with. It'll feel more natural as you go. Ewing: Okay, it's your show. Let's see them. (Ewing secures her beekeeping helmet and enters SCP-5765. She searches the room for sixty seconds.) Ewing: Uh, I don't see any bees. Edumunson: Understood. Please continue. Ewing: Continue? Edmunson: Yes, please. Ewing: Well, I don't see any bees. There's nothing in here. (Dr. Ewing begins to pace the outer perimeter of the containment chamber.) Ewing: What's the temperature of this room? Edmunson: Uh, let me check. One moment. Ewing: It feels a bit chilly. Edmunson About 13 degrees Celsius. Ewing: So yeah, that's a bit cold for bees. You could be dealing with some sort of cold-resistant species or subspecies, like we find with Carniolans or Russian honey bees, but either way, they're likely bundled up in the hive somewhere trying to keep warm. Can you adjust the temperature? Edmunson: Sure, bringing it up now. 18 or 19 good for you? Ewing: Sure. Continuing. The room is barren of natural resources, or indeed any resources at all. If we turn this place into a garden, we might draw them out and get a better look. Most bees aren't very specific about the plants they'll mine for pollen, but a few are. In addition to lavender, holly, uh, clover and maybe echinacea, you'll want to also have dogwood and mustard for the pickier eaters. Makes sense they'd be hard to find if there's nothing here for them to eat. Edmunson: Understood, we'll make it happen. Ayim? Write that down? Ewing: I'm not seeing any physical signs of bees. No damage from carpenters, no scouts. You mentioned nobody's been stung, so your bees either aren't aggressive or they simply don't feel threatened. Or, as I mentioned, they could be lethargic from the cold. We'll want to try pheromones for a couple of different species, at least. Edmunson: I'm actually a step ahead of you on that. I have someone ready to test that soon. Please, continue, your input is invaluable. (Transcript abridged, available in full as 57655-UA. Dr. Ewing makes numerous suggestions over nine hours for exposing bee populations. All suggestions are approved and implemented by Dr. Edmunson. One week after the environment of SCP-5765 has been converted to be friendlier to various bee species, no empirical evidence of bees is found. Dr. Ewing is administered Class B amnestic treatment and released.) [END LOG] TEST 31: INTERIOR SEARCH OF SURROUNDING WALLS Description Foundation maintenance staff conduct search of containment unit walls in accordance with pest-removal protocols. Result No evidence of bees recovered. Researcher notes [NONE] TEST 32: SEARCH BY HEAVILY BAITED D-CLASS PERSONNEL Description Search of containment unit by D-72771, who is heavily pollinated, dressed in bright blue, purple, and yellow attire, and doused in sugar water and pheromones of three different bee species. D-72771 searches interior of containment cell. Result No evidence of bees recovered. Researcher notes Found interesting research into bees liking certain types of music. Tests will resume when D-72771 learns to play the flute. PREVIOUS ITERATIONS LEVEL 4 AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED LEVEL 4 ACCESS GRANTED Item #: SCP-5765 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5765 is to be kept empty for testing purposes. Description: SCP-5765 is a standard Foundation containment unit, previously designated ████-A. When individuals are told the contents of SCP-5765, they will invariably believe this information to be true. Notably, proximity to SCP-5765 seems to have no bearing on the anomalous effect; individuals who are aware of SCP-5765's physical existence are vulnerable to suggestion regarding its contents. While cognitoaffective, this effect lacks compulsive behavior or directly destructive psychological effects, and thus is not considered significantly cognitohazardous. The nature of SCP-5765 makes it difficult to directly study its effects (see Iteration 0, logged below). Research performed on SCP-5765 is to be conducted by individuals unaware of its cognitoaffective anomaly, and is to be directed by the Head Researcher, Dr. Johannes Ashby. SCP-5765 was previously used to contain SCP-████, which is currently undergoing reevaluation and classification. Due to the similarities in their effects, it is currently theorized that SCP-████ experienced "anomalous bleeding" into SCP-5765, resulting in its current anomalous state. Research is ongoing. Addendum 5765.3: Summaries of Previous Test Iterations Please contact the Head Researcher for full records of previous test iterations. Data is to be collected regarding how researchers proceed in testing and compiling information about SCP-5765. Approved research methodology prescribes informing researcher subjects that SCP-5765 contains some object of study and providing reasonable accommodations for locating those contents. Unreasonable accommodations may be approved on a case-by-case basis. Iteration: 0 Subject: None Suggested contents: None Results: Shortly after SCP-████ was transferred to ████████ for reevaluation, the Head Researcher noticed members of the transportation team returning numerous times to the containment chamber and searching inside. When questioned, each member reported that they had returned to see if there was anything left to move, despite SCP-████ being a single solid piece which was transported without incident. After several weeks of continued visits to the empty containment chamber by research and logistics personnel, the former Head Researcher requested the chamber be tentatively classified as SCP-████-A and evaluated for anomalous properties. Iteration: 1 Subject: Dr. Machado Suggested contents: One banana. Results: Dr. Machado conducted several physical examinations of SCP-5765 looking for the banana before redirecting his research into the potential merelogical explanations for the undetected molecules that may have once made up the banana. Notes: It's a shame Dr. Machado has absolutely no background whatsoever in metaphysics, or his research paper would have been significantly more readable. Iteration: 2 Subject: Dr. Monaghan Suggested contents: One Maersk Triple E-class container ship. Results: Dr. Monaghan immediately deduced that SCP-5765 was too small to contain the suggested contents and expressed distress over the psychological dissonance that resulted. He presented a 532-page report dismissing the possibility that the suggested contents could fit inside of SCP-5765, which he followed up with a 254-page thesis proposing alternative mathematical schemas for calculating physical dimensions. Iteration: 3 Subject: Dr. O'Kane Suggested contents: A standard mixture of breathable air. Results: Dr. O'Kane appeared confused and suspicious of her research direction and conducted several remote tests on the air quality within SCP-5765 before utilizing D-72771 to confirm. Her conclusion was that SCP-5765 contains breathable air and expressed annoyance toward the Head Researcher. Iteration: 4 Subject: Dr. Horsfall Suggested contents: Enlightenment. Results: Dr. Horsfall's research methodology was erratic, ranging from taking numerous measurements of the room and its qualities, philosophical and religious interpretations of the room, meditation exercises within SCP-5765, and literary analysis of poetry and free-association written while inside. Dr. Horsfall required Class C amnestic treatment to successfully disengage her interest in locating suggested contents. Notes: We can consider this confirmation that SCP-5765's effects are almost certainly related to its previous exposure to SCP-████. Iteration: 5 Subject: Dr. Salinas Suggested contents: A sense of safety. Results: Dr. Salinas conducted numerous studies and, unable to definitively locate a sense of safety in the room, showed signs of paranoia and phobia regarding the contents of SCP-5765. Notes: Our researcher is now terrified of his research subject and little data could be acquired. This is unhelpful. Iteration: 6 Subject: Dr. Trask Suggested contents: A sense of safety. Results: Dr. Trask conducted few remote examinations of SCP-5765 before entering it personally. She quickly responded that the room did indeed carry an "intense" feeling of safety. Dr. Trask then showed signs of paranoia and phobia regarding the world outside of SCP-5765 and refused to leave for 38 hours, when dehydration allowed her to be extracted by the Head Researcher. Notes: While it is useful to know that different subjects seem to produce different results when tested under largely identical circumstances, I'm convinced that SCP-5765 is likely one of those problems that is only a problem because we're messing with it. Iteration: 7 Subject: Dr. Madison Suggested contents: A barely-audible mechanical whining sound. Results: Dr. Madison personally confirmed the presence of the sound within SCP-5765, but was unable to measure it using standard audiometric equipment. Initial conclusion that SCP-5765 causes selective vibrations within living matter that makes the sound impossible to detect outside of the human body. Notes: This is an interesting conclusion, even though it's wrong. Perhaps SCP-5765 could be a viable means of incentivizing "out of the box" thinking in other research avenues. Recommending future studies in this direction. Iteration: 8 Subject: Dr. Edmunson Suggested contents: Bees. Results: Dr. Edmunson has conducted numerous tests attempting to confirm the presence of bees in SCP-5765. This research has progressed at an increasing pace, and is currently in its second consecutive year of testing, with Dr. Edmunson showing no signs of dissonant distress. Notes: While I recognize that Edmunson was likely transferred to me due to that whole fiasco with his previous project, he's provided a remarkable wealth of information regarding the limits of SCP-5765's cognitoaffective capabilities. It appears that suggesting the presence of small, threatening biological organisms is enough to keep him committed to finding them, but also comfortable with not finding direct evidence for them. Let's keep him working on this and see where it goes. Footnotes 1. Expert in the study of bee species |

Item#: 5766 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo SCP-5766 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5766-1 is to be guarded by at least two individuals at all times, who are both to remain on the first level unless prompted to do otherwise by containment specialists. No individuals not within the SCP Foundation are allowed to come within SCP-5766-1 at any time. SCP-5766-1 is to be presented to the public as a rental house currently under the ownership of an individual who is "hard to contact." SCP Foundation personnel positioned at SCP-5766-1 are to maintain the guise of renters, and are to attempt to deter any attention from the general populace. SCP-5766 is to be the site of at least one (1) "movie night" each week, preferably falling upon Friday night, but liable to change depending on the schedules of those assigned to SCP-5766. In the event of multiple scheduling conflicts, Senior Containment Specialist Gregg is to decide on a date, preferably falling upon the date where the most individuals are likely to attend. Each attendee is to bring no less than one (1) snack of some sort, and each snack must be aimed at being something the entire group would enjoy. The seating accommodations as well as blankets and pillows within SCP-5766's room are to be left within the room at all times, and to be kept in good condition. Should problems arise in keeping these items in such position and condition, replacement items are to be brought in before the next event. Each week, a "designated bystander" is to be assigned, with the position rotating week to week so that the position is distributed equally. If an individual is to miss the week they are assigned said position, they are to become the "designated bystander" the next time they attend, pausing the usual cycle. The "designated bystander" is not permitted to enter SCP-5766 at any time during the event, but must stay during the duration. At the end of the event, the "designated bystander" must use the control pole1 provided to remove each participant from SCP-5766. The movie being viewed is to be decided on by vote of those attending each week's event. Ties are to be decided by Senior Containment Specialist Gregg. Guys, I know it's all struck but you know it's the rules. Come on. In light of recent events, SCP-5766 is to be treated with more caution. No personnel assigned to SCP-5766 are to come within the bounds of SCP-5766, regardless of circumstances, including during testing. In the event anyone assigned to SCP-5766 does pass within its borders, they are to be administered amnestics and reassigned to a different position as soon as possible. Description: SCP-5766 is an approximately 2 m x 2.5 m x 4 m space within a bedroom in a house (designated SCP-5766-1) in ██████, California. While the space appears normal at first, and does not display any anomalous properties to anything or anyone outside its bounds, it's effects quickly manifest once a living creature enters its area. Any living thing within SCP-5766 quickly feels at ease, relaxed, and above all, comfortable. Individuals within SCP-5766 become immediately lethargic, able to respond to outside stimuli but inclined either not to or to exert little effort in doing so. Those affected will display a reduced heart rate, and calm brain function, regardless of prior ailments. SCP-5766 does not cure anything outside of mental, emotional, and sensory, but will make other issues seem insignificant to those affected. Individuals within SCP-5766 will never leave its confines of their own volition. They can, however, be somewhat easily removed by outside forces, not struggling whatsoever, but also not lending any aid whatsoever in the process. While SCP-5766 does not seem to have any lingering anomalous affects on those who have been within it, most individuals indicated that they have a strong desire to go back in. This is attributed to the memory of having been under the effects of SCP-5766, and seemingly nothing else. While it is maintained that the effects cannot yet be confirmed as anomalous, the effects on those who have entered SCP-5766 are more profound than was previously thought. Individuals who have entered SCP-5766 not only exhibit a strong desire to once again enter SCP-5766, but display a lack of reason when compelled to do so. Affected individuals will justify their actions to themselves and others as best as possible, but will take unreasonable actions in order to enter SCP-5766 once again, and will often set up a means or explanation for continuing to do so on a regular basis. These effects seem to linger anywhere between two weeks and six months. SCP-5766 was brought to the attention of the Foundation when Field Agent Greene caught a strange conversation while monitoring police feeds in the area. Local law enforcement had been following up on reports that nobody had seen members of the Smith family for some time. Officers reported in that they found three bodies in a teen's bedroom, but soon after they ceased communication. Greene promptly investigated the scene, and found the bodies, as well as the officers, all lying within SCP-5766. Agents were dispatched to quarantine the area, and the officers were removed safely, with amnestics and cover stories provided. ▼ Test Logs ▲ collapse Test A Procedure: Senior Researcher Michael Hummel, Researcher Afari Davis, and Senior Containment Specialist Gary Gregg observe as D-14928 enters SCP-5766. Test Log: Upon entering, D-14928 immediately crumples to the ground. Dr. Hummel: "Are you ok?" No response. Dr. Hummel: "D-14928?" D-14928: "Huh? Oh me? I'm great." Dr. Hummel: "How do you feel?" D-14928: "Absolutely perfect." Dr. Hummel: "Ok, how about you come out for a moment so we can compare sensations." D-14928: "Huh? Nah." Extraneous dialogue has been removed. D-14928 is forcibly removed using provided control poles. Additional Notes: D-14928 is later put under psychological evaluation, and deemed normal, aside from a moderate desire to reenter SCP-5766. Test D Procedure: Researcher Afari Davis has volunteered to enter SCP-5766 in order to better understand its anomalous properties. Senior Researcher Michael Hummel and Senior Containment Specialist Gregg observe as Researcher Davis enters SCP-5766. Test Log: Doctor Davis enters SCP-5766, and crashes into the provided beanbag chair, bouncing off and impacting the floor head on. Dr. Hummel: "Are you all right?" Dr. Davis: (Laughing) "I'm great! Wow! This is amazing." Dr. Gregg: "Come on Michael, please. It'll just be part of the test." Dr. Hummel: "Fine." Doctor Gregg slowly backs into SCP-5766 in a crouched position, and falls directly into the beanbag chair. This is the first time a test subject has been recorded as not facing directly into the ground. Dr. Hummel: "How is it, Gary?" Dr. Gregg: "Michael, you have to try this." Extraneous dialogue has been removed. Doctor Davis and Doctor Gregg are removed using the provided control poles. Additional Notes: Doctor Davis and Doctor Gregg are given psychological evaluations at a later time. Again, the results come up clear, but both note a moderate desire to enter SCP-5766 again. Addendum: All personnel previously assigned to SCP-5766 have been reassigned after incident "Voidgazers." While their research and procedures are to be kept visible as an example of the true nature of SCP-5766, future staff will be watched more carefully, with regular inspections by outside personnel. ▼ Correspondence records prior to event "Voidgazers" ▲ collapse Addendum II: Email Chain Concerning SCP-5766 From: Research Director Avery Reed To: Senior Containment Specialist Gregg Message Subject: Ridiculous Containment Procedures Message Body: Dear Doctor Gregg, I just finished reviewing the completed file for SCP-5766 and I am appalled. While I do respect you given your performance on prior projects, this kind of behavior is unacceptable. SCPs are not a joke, and even in low-stakes circumstances such as these, you are to treat each project as if humanity depended on it. I have struck the inappropriate portions, so please see to filling this space in with actual containment procedures. Don't let this kind of thing happen again, Gregg. You are an asset to the Foundation, but not with this kind of behavior. Regards, Doctor Reed. From: Senior Containment Specialist Gregg To: Research Director Avery Reed Message Subject: Re: Ridiculous Containment Procedures Message Body: Dear Doctor Reed, I understand how this looks, I swear I do. But this SCP… I would actually really appreciate it if you came down to see it. Again, I know how this sounds, but trust me, the best way for you to understand would be in person. I can explain everything then. Please just have some faith in me. Doctor Gregg. Footnotes 1. Long, metal rod with a rope loop at the end, that can be adjusted in order to grab hold of things. |
SCP-5767 | neutralized | Item#: 5767 Level2 Containment Class: neutralised Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: none Risk Class: none link to memo Special Containment Procedures: The remains of SCP-5767’s shell and terrarium are to be kept in a secure item locker in Sector 4 of Site-52. SCP-5767’s shell must be kept in a small clear plastic case that is air tight, to prevent natural atmospheric degradation. Previous Special Containment Procedures (Ended 19/11/2019): A terrarium (5m by 4m by 3m) replicating a typical garden landscape is to be allocated as living quarters for SCP-5767. The terrarium should have 70%-80% humidity and the features may be altered upon the entity's request. SCP-5767 is allowed to freely roam its designated living quarters. A clear tubing system that encompasses Sector 4 of Site-52 has been created in order for the entity to observe sections of the facility if it wishes. SCP-5767 may freely roam this tubing network except in a site lockdown, where it should be positioned inside of its terrarium until further notice. One (1) researcher with a PhD in Entomology is to be stationed nearby to maintain upkeep of the enclosure and monitor SCP-5767's general wellbeing. Daily, a small cup of assorted fruits and vegetables should be placed inside the terrarium with cucumbers being added on Fridays. One (1) armed guard is to be placed outside the room housing the entity's terrarium if someone is visiting the containment area. All requests by SCP-5767 must have approval from at least two (2) level 3 researchers. It is to be supplied with a weekly magazine about up-to-date scientific findings and information, as well as requested SCP documents (though viewing of documents must first be approved by site management). SCP-5767 in containment. Description: SCP-5767 is a sentient garden land snail (Helix aspersa aspersa) that is slightly larger than a regular specimen, being approximately 7cm long and 3cm tall. It is capable of mental communication with sapient humanoids and is theorised to be able to have two way conversations with some intelligent animal life. SCP-5767 has been observed making mental connections with up to 3 subjects at a time and is extremely cooperative with researchers. The entity’s voice has been described as having a South-Eastern British accent and having a calming tone of voice similar to an elderly human male. SCP-5767’s voice has been observed becoming quieter as a person moves further away from the entity and becoming greater in volume at close distances. The primary physical difference between SCP-5767 and a normal garden snail is a small grey beard growing from the entity’s radula1 that has reached a maximum length of 3cm but SCP-5767 prefers to keep it a length of 1cm. All other physical features and anatomy are non-anomalous. SCP-5767 claims it is extremely old, being able to recount in detail multiple historic events it has been present for. In addition, it is able to tell a near complete recount of the Foundation’s history saying it has watched from ‘a safe distance’ and it commends the Foundation for maintaining its secrecy for so long. The entity states it has spent numerous years in Cambridge, England observing university classes. It expresses interest in science, history and human psychology. In addition to this, it says it has travelled the world and visited many important locations, including Foundation sites. Note from Researcher Smith: Thank goodness we got this little guy under our custody, he has intimate knowledge of about 50 anomalies. We could have a serious breach of secrecy if it wanted to tell someone prior to its containment. Disruption class updated from Dark to Keneq.2 The entity is allowed to be visited by any staff with Level 2 clearance or higher, as long as a guard is present. Subjects wishing to interact with SCP-5767 are encouraged to bring fresh vegetables to the enclosure on visits, though cucumbers are generally discouraged.3 Lettuce, tomatoes and mushrooms are some of the entity’s favourites. The following is a list of all formal requests made by SCP-5767 as of 22/02/2020: One (1) visit from Agent Carter. ACCEPTED One (1) bowl of fruit and vegetables. ACCEPTED (Feeding routine is now in place.) More moss in its terrarium. ACCEPTED One (1) extra slice of cucumber. ACCEPTED One (1) rub on the shell. ACCEPTED One (1) extra slice of cucumber. DENIED One (1) newspaper/magazine relating to scientific studies. ACCEPTED (Entity is now supplied with a weekly edition of ‘National Geographic’ magazine, and approved SCP documents.) Recovery: SCP-5767 was discovered on 02/05/2006 by Agent Carter in Cambridge, England during an off duty walk along the River Cam. The agent recalls turning a corner and being contacted by SCP-5767. The entity supposedly requested to be brought into the Foundation’s custody and had been attempting to communicate with Agent Carter for days prior to recovery. Agent Carter does not recall being spoken to by SCP-5657 before this event. Upon discovery, the entity was brought back to Site-44 without incident. Temporary containment was secured following minor examination and a brief interview (See Interview Log 5767-1). After 4 weeks of observation, the entity was transferred to Site-52 for long-term containment. + Show Interview Log 5767-1 - Hide Interview Log 5767-1 Interviewed: SCP-5767 Interviewer: Researcher Smith Foreword: This interview was conducted 3 hours after initial recovery, after confirming SCP-5767’s sentient nature. <Begin Log> Researcher Smith: Hello? SCP-5767: I’m down here, Sir. (Researcher Smith leans over the table to view SCP-5767 seated on the chair on the opposite side) Researcher Smith: What kind of circus are we running here, put it in front of me. (Research assistants pick up SCP-5767 and place it on the table) SCP-5767: Thank you for the assistance, but I’m perfectly capable of moving myself. How are you today, Sir? Researcher Smith: I’m, (pauses) okay. (There is silence for approximately 5 seconds) Researcher Smith: Are you able to give a brief list of your anomalous qualities, please? SCP-5767: From my study of my species, my only abnormalities are my ability to speak with you, a longer life, and an increased mental capacity, not to toot my own horn as they say. Researcher Smith: Are you at all related to, or aware of SCP-1867, “Lord Theodore Thomas Blackwood”? SCP-5767: It doesn’t ring a bell, sorry. Researcher Smith: Very well. And what made you seek out Agent Carter and Foundation custody? SCP-5767: I have watched your Foundation grow in the shadows since [DATA EXPUNGED], on top of my other expeditions. I must say I find your work extremely interesting. I have travelled the world three times over and have seen everything I wished to see, and thought that you might like to study me or put me to some sort of use in my old age. Researcher Smith: Thank you for your cooperation, you should be given temporary housing soon. This concludes the interview. <End Log> Following this interview, SCP-5767 requested to speak with Agent Carter, the man who recovered the entity. The request was accepted by site management and the conversation can be found in Interview Log 5767-2. + Show Interview Log 5767-2 - Hide Interview Log 5767-2 Interviewed: SCP-5767 Interviewer: Agent Carter Foreword: This interview was requested by SCP-5767 following Interview Log 5767-1, under the premises that it ‘wanted a chat’. <Begin Log> Agent Carter: Hi? SCP-5767: Ah, I’m glad to see you, Carter. How are you? Agent Carter: I’m.. doing alright, I guess. How are you? SCP-5767: (chuckles) I’m just fine. Thank you for bringing me in, I look forward to our future work. Agent Carter: Do you mean with me specifically or the Foundation? SCP-5767: Either, I suppose. I have watched this group’s actions for a number of years and am excited to learn from you all. Agent Carter: I’m not sure you’ll be allowed access to our documents if that’s what you mean. The guys up top aren’t very trusting of things they don’t understand but I’ll see what I can do. SCP-5767: That’s quite okay, thank you, Carter. Agent Carter: You’re welcome. Do you need anything else? SCP-5767: No, that’s okay. (Silence for 35 seconds) Agent Carter: Sorry, if I seem a bit quiet, I’ve seen so many odd things here, but never thought I’d be talking to a snail. SCP-5767: I understand. Hurry along, I’m sure you have something else to do. (Agent Carter leaves the room) <End Log> After 4 weeks of observation, the entity was transferred to Site-52 for long-term containment. Addendum 5767.1: On ██/██/2011, Agent Carter was temporarily reassigned to Site-52 for an unrelated mission. During the agent's stay, he ran into SCP-5767. The pair were talking for about 4 hours before Agent Carter was summoned to deal with another anomaly. The following is a note from Agent Carter after their conversation. “That was one of the best conversations I have had with anyone in years. He isn’t lying when he says he has travelled the world, he’s full of stories that can keep you talking for hours. I think he would make a great councillor for anyone who needed it. I’m leaving to go back to England tomorrow, and I’m really gonna miss him to be honest.“ Following this, the ability to freely visit SCP-5767 was granted to all personnel with Level 2 clearance or above. Agent Carter filed a request to be permanently relocated to Site-52. This request was accepted by site management. Containment Update 14/07/2012: A clear tubing system has been implemented in Sector 4 of Site-52 that allows SCP-5767 to observe some of the actions carried out by our personnel. The system runs along the upper right hand corner of all main corridors, with additional viewing including staff rooms, research departments and 5 safe class anomalies. SCP-5767 would like all staff in Sector 7 to know it is incredibly thankful for this privilege. Note from Agent Carter on 23/09/2012: + Show note from Agent Carter - Hide note from Agent Carter Its been a real privilege being able to call this guy my friend. I’ve never met a human like SCP-5767, he just has such a peaceful way about him, all my troubles drift away when I speak with him. He says I remind him of himself. I don’t really see it (he is a snail after all). He’s become a mentor, like a grandfather to me. Since my own grandfather passed away, SCP-5767 has filled the gap. I’ve also noticed that staff morale has gone up in Sector 4 since they can see him in his tubes and can freely visit SCP-5767. Hopefully we find more like him, I feel other sites could benefit from something similar. Incident Log 5767-1: + Show Incident Log 5767-1 - Hide Incident Log 5767-1 On ██/██/2016, Site-52 experienced a mass containment breach caused by SCP-████ that resulted in 140 casualties. When an instance of SCP-███ entered Sector 4, Agent Carter was in the path of the entity. Agent Carter was subsequently terminated and was discovered after lockdown was lifted. SCP-5767 did not eat or speak to personnel for 3 months following the incident despite attempts to encourage it to do so. Visits were suspended during this time. Note from Senior Researcher Brown: SCP-5767 has gradually begun becoming its normal self once again. We understand this event was very traumatic for the entity and we discourage staff from speaking about it to SCP-5767. Hopefully, in time it will regain its former love for conversation. (UPDATE: As of 11/06/2017, the entity has resumed its normal routine and appears to be doing just fine for now.) In its progressive ageing, SCP-5767 has begun to deteriorate in health. Though it continues to provide support for others, it is believed SCP-5767 may expire in the near future. Addendum 5767.2: On 19/11/2020, SCP-5767 quietly passed away in its sleep. The entity’s death was attributed to natural causes of old ageing. SCP-5767 had been particularly lethargic for days prior to this, so staff did not discover it’s body for 1 day after it is thought to have expired. Its remains were already decomposing, so they were allowed to decompose completely before the shell was recovered. It is believed SCP-5767 was one of a kind, but a search for other potential instances is ongoing. SCP-5767 never requested a companion or mate, so it is believed it never produced offspring. The staff of Site-52 express their sorrow at this loss. Footnotes 1. A mollusc’s lower jaw or ‘chin’. 2. (Now neutralised). 3. They will make a snail greedy and may cause the entity to not eat anything but cucumber. |

Item №: SCP-5768 Threat Level: Blue ● Special Containment Procedures: Embedded Foundation agents within Disneyland Resort staff are instructed to maximize the physical safety of resort attendees and employees. In the event that an individual sustains any potentially life-threatening injury while on Disneyland Resort grounds, agents are to remove them from the property as quickly as is feasible. Description: SCP-5768 is an anomaly affecting the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. While located on grounds considered to be part of the Disneyland Resort,1 humans are unable to die. To date, no injury inflicted on a human being on resort property has resulted in the cessation of function of either the nervous or cardiovascular system. SCP-5768 does not prevent physical harm to resort occupants, only their permanent expiration. Individuals that would expire if not for the effects of SCP-5768 do so immediately upon exiting Disneyland Resort grounds. Addendum 01: Relevant Recovered Documents The following document was discovered pinned to a cork board in a Disneyland management office during initial discovery and containment of SCP-5768. NOTICE TO ALL DISNEYLAND® STAFF In the wake of the unfortunate events that occurred last week on Disney California Adventure® grounds, all Disneyland Resort® staff are reminded to review official resort policy regarding management of potential casualties while on Disneyland Resort® property. Our reputation hinges on your discretion in these crucial situations. While we have the utmost trust in our employees, maintenance of the no-casualty record has been deemed unsustainable by Disneyland Resort® management. Moving forward, Disneyland® will coordinate with the Enchantments Division of the Walt Disney Company® in order to innovate an alternative solution. Select staff (exact personnel to be finalized at a later date) will report to the Sleeping Beauty® Castle on 05/19/1999 to enact this new opportunity for the company. In the meantime, we trust in our staff to remain compliant with resort casualty policy. Thank you for helping to keep Disneyland Resort® the happiest place on Earth. The following passage is excerpted from a discarded journal notebook recovered in a Disneyland mascot changing room. 9/14/99 Can't sleep. They said not to put this in writing anywhere but I can't stop thinking about it. Some tagger ducked a fence and got his head taken off by a coaster today. I was one of the guys they called in to get the body offsite. Sometimes they page for a specific team but maybe they were on vacation today, I don't know. So I had to do it. No problem, I'm not squeamish, except something was wrong. I've never touched a dead body before but I know for a fact this wasn't right. I was looking at this guy's head sitting on the grass, and he was still breathing. Addendum 02: Compiled Incident Log The following table contains a list of known or highly suspected SCP-5768 events. Date Description of Incident Additional Notes 14/09/1999 Civilian graffiti artist decapitated by roller coaster. Body and head reportedly continued to respirate until subject was removed from resort property. First recorded SCP-5768 event. Mentioned in journal recovered from Disneyland changing room. 07/08/2007 Resort employee suffered a severe myocardial infarction2 while wearing a Donald Duck character costume in a backstage area of the Disneyland Park. Subject was later discovered by other employees and removed from resort grounds, at which time they immediately expired. Embedded personnel within Anaheim Global Medical Center reported this incident as potentially anomalous due to testimony from involved employees, eventually leading to discovery and containment of SCP-5768. Cause of death was documented as coronary artery disease brought on by poor diet, psychological stress, and overheating. 27/06/2013 Resort patron fell overboard during a riverboat tour attraction and was not immediately noticed by nearby patrons or workers. Upon being removed from the water approximately 13 minutes later by park employees, the subject was observed to regurgitate a large amount of water. Subject did not expire after being removed from resort grounds. First potential event in which SCP-5768 prevented the expiration of a subject who was later resuscitated. Subject was administered a Class-A amnestic and released. 04/07/2015 Resort employee was caught in an accidental detonation of a storage crate containing fireworks, which also caused the storage room to catch fire. Removal of subject from resort grounds was complicated by the subject having crawled approximately 4 meters from the exit of the building and into view of the public. Subject expired immediately after being removed from the resort. Aerosolized Class-C amnestics were distributed over much of the Disneyland Park area by embedded agents. 19/05/2019 Several victims of a roller coaster collapse incident are suspected to have been affected by SCP-5768. Upon being removed from the resort, 3 subjects immediately expired in a manner consistent with SCP-5768's effects. Disneyland records report that 16 individuals were present on the attraction when parts of its structure collapsed. However, debriefings of multiple present agents suggest that 15 individuals were removed from the resort due to this incident. As of 22/05/2019, investigation into the existence and/or location of the 16th victim is ongoing. Footnotes 1. Including Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and three affiliated hotels. 2.

SCP-5769 | euclid | Item#: 5769 Level3 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: notice link to memo SCP-5769 prior to containment Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5769 is to be kept in a containment cell furnished with a bed, a lamp, and a desk at Site-66. SCP-5769 is allowed requested items within reason. Allowed items include a human bed and any piece of non-anomalous literature which is requested by the subject (currently a copy of Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace), as well as several dog toys to ensure adequate mental and physical stimulation. Any Foundation personnel with Level 2 security clearance or above is permitted to play with SCP-5769 in order to promote morale, both in staff and the anomaly. SCP-5769 is allowed one hour of outside time accompanied by two lightly armed guards once every two days. These guards are permitted to use non-lethal force in the event of any attempted escape. Description: SCP-5769 is a domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) of the Golden Retriever breed which is capable of vocal communications in several languages. SCP-5769 appears to vocally communicate in the same manner as humans, with the subject's larynx being the source of the anomalous vocalizations. SCP-5769 displays similar behaviors to those of a typical Golden Retriever, including a desire for a somewhat active lifestyle, similar eating habits, and an affinity for red meat, although the subject also displays the desire to interface with art, similarly to humans, and requires increased mental stimulation which must be satiated through reading or conversation. SCP-5769 claims to know everything, both in the past and in the present. When asked a question, SCP-5769 will respond with the answer it believes to be correct, almost never deliberately lying or otherwise obfuscating the truth. SCP-5769 will almost invariably respond to any question it is asked. The areas of the subject's knowledge seem to extend to global, academic, and semantic matters, with the object having to learn matters of personal concern through conversation or other communication. For instance, SCP-5769 has been shown to have a comprehensive knowledge of events throughout all known and documented human history but still has to be introduced to an individual in order to learn their name or interface with them in order to learn their thoughts or feelings. SCP-5769 has shown a strong desire to return to its previous owner, Samuel Lane, and has attempted to escape Foundation custody on multiple occasions in order to return to Lane. Recovery: SCP-5769 was discovered in the house of Samuel Lane in Seattle, Washington, after neighbors reported repeated shouting to the local police on July 8, 2004. Upon entry, police found the residence empty aside from SCP-5769, which shortly introduced itself as Winston Lane. After SCP-5769 was taken to the nearest police station, an MTF unit embedded in local law enforcement reported the anomaly, and the Foundation retrieved SCP-5769, administering Class-A amnestics to all neighbors and officers who learned of the anomaly's existence. Samuel Lane was later located in a rural town in Nevada. He claims to have done this to distance himself from the anomaly, in hopes to completely avoid SCP-5769 itself, as well as any other anomalous effects related to the object. Upon initial recovery, the Foundation made the decision to interview SCP-5769 in order to gain more information on the subject's origin as well as its self purported knowledge. Addendum 5769-1: First Interview Purpose: A preliminary interview in order to familiarize SCP-5769 with an interview setting. Personnel: Interview monitored by Dr. Gonsalves in a separate room. Conducted by D-29141 due to the subject's initial unwillingness to interface with Foundation staff due to the manner of its containment. Start of interview: July 18, 2004, 2:14 PM D-29141: So, uh, what do I say? Dr. Gonsalves: Once you enter the room, just ask the subject the questions on this sheet of paper. Don't overthink it too much. I can assure you this is all very routine. I'll communicate any pertinent information over the room's microphone system from here. D-29141: Alright, I'll take your word on it, I guess. D-29141 enters the containment cell. D-29141: A dog? Weird-ass place. Uh, what is your name? SCP-5769: Hi! My name is Winston! What's yours? D-29141: What the fuck? I don't know what I expected. Fuckin' dog, bullshit routine. Dr. Gonsalves: Please continue with the interview. D-29141: Okay, fine, I guess. Whatever gets me out of here. My name is Evan; thanks for asking. So, um, what’s two plus two? SCP-5769: That’s easy! It’s four! Next one, next one! D-29141: Alright, dog does math. Uh, what else do you know? SCP-5769: I know everything. D-29141: Could you elaborate on that? SCP-5769: Sure! It means I know everything. D-29141: That's- alright, whatever. Are you okay with your containment? SCP-5769: I guess. It’s cozy here, and these people are nice to me. They even let me sleep on the real bed. I get to run around in this room, and they let me go outside. But I really just want to go back to Sam. I love him, and I know he loves me, too. I know he still loves me. D-29141: I think I know how you feel. I haven't been able to see my family since these guys scooped me up either. Dr. Gonsalves: I would highly advise you to stick to the provided interview questions. D-29141: Right, right. How did you gain your intelligence? SCP-5769 stops wagging its tail and appears to cast its eyes toward the floor. SCP-5769: Go away now. I thought you were like me, but I don’t want to talk to you anymore. D-29141: Hey, I- Dr. Gonsalves: Thank you, D-29141. That will be all. You can leave the cell. End of interview: July 18, 2004, 2:17 PM Addendum 5769-2: Second Interview Purpose: An interview to build trust between the subject and D-29141 in order to discover SCP-5769's origins during the location process of Samuel Lane. Personnel: Interview monitored by Dr. Gonsalves in a separate room. Conducted by D-29141. Start of interview: July 19, 2004, 10:31 AM D-29141: So, you wanted me back here? Dr. Gonsalves: Yes, we figured you didn’t have much else to do. It's the same deal as yesterday. Get to work. D-29141: Alright, fine. I guess it could be worse. Hello, how are you today? SCP-5769 faces away from D-29141 and lies down, saying nothing. D-29141: Hey, what's the problem, man? I thought we were getting along pretty well. SCP-5769: To be perfectly frank, I can't say I feel the same. I thought we were just going to have a nice conversation. D-29141: Look, man, I'm sorry if I made you upset, but it's not really my fault. That doctor guy wrote these questions, not me. SCP-5769 appears to weigh its options for about ten seconds, then stands and turns to D-29141. SCP-5769: This isn't just an issue of trust. While I don't exactly trust you right now, there are… other, bigger issues. I'm pretty trusting. I mean, look at me. I'm a dog; we trust basically everyone. I lost my only friend pretty recently. It's not something I want to talk about yet, alright? Give me some time, and maybe I can talk about it. D-29141: How about we talk about other stuff for a while? Does that work for you? Doc? Dr. Gonsalves: That’s fine. It’s the only deal we can take right now. Now, get to the questions. D-29141: Great. Now, how are you today? SCP-5769: Well, I’ve been better. As I’m sure you can tell, I’m trapped in a big metal box. It’s comfy, but I miss being at a house. It wasn’t as luxurious, since I didn’t get the good bed or new dog toys when I asked, but that wasn’t what mattered to me. Home is where the heart is, and my owner was my heart. D-29141: Was? SCP-5769: It’s fine; our relationship is just a little… complicated. D-29141: I’ve been there. Um, do you want to escape at all? SCP-5769: That’s about the only thing I want to do. D-29141 and SCP-5769 were allowed to communicate in a freeform fashion as a trust building exercise for roughly 15 minutes before Dr. Gonsalves ordered the continuation of the interview proper. D-29141: Okay, um. Huh. I don’t really get this next question. Dr. Gonsalves: Just try to the best of your ability. D-29141: Uh, what is your stance on the containment of anomalies by the SCP Foundation? SCP-5769: I guess it depends on the anomaly. I think that if they can destroy it, they should. They have too many dangerous things just sitting in cells. I mean, what are you going to do when a bunch of Keter-class objects break out because you wanted to do research instead of just getting rid of them? Dr. Gonsalves: Okay, the rest of the interview is canceled. SCP-5769 should not have this much knowledge on the Foundation. D-29141, exit the cell immediately. D-29141: God damn it. Am I ever gonna get all the way through one of these before you cut me off for some bullshit reason I don't even understand? Whatever, see ya later, man. SCP-5769: Goodbye, Evan! See you soon! End of interview: July 19, 2004, 10:55 AM SCP-5769's knowledge on the inner workings of the Foundation is currently being looked into and assessed as a potential threat. Addendum 5769-3: Third Interview Purpose: A general wellness check for SCP-5769. Personnel: Interview monitored by Dr. Gonsalves in a separate room. Conducted by D-29141. Start of interview, July 21, 2004, 8:18 PM D-29141: Hey. I’m back. SCP-5769: Oh, hi, Evan! I have missed you so much! D-29141: I’ve missed you, too, bud. I’ve got a new batch of questions. Are you ready? SCP-5769: As ready as I’ll ever be. D-29141: Good. Hm, uh… Est-ce que vous parlez français?1 SCP-5769: Oui. Et ce n’est pas le seul français. Je parle espagnol, russe, chinois, italien, japonais, hébreu, coréen, arabe et toutes les autres langues auxquelles vous pouvez penser.2 D-29141: Uh… Dr. Gonsalves: Just keep going. D-29141: How old are you? SCP-5769: I am currently five years old. D-29141: How much do you weigh? Uh, specifically, in metric. SCP-5769: 31 kilograms. D-29141: It looks like this is the last one. Do you have any anomalous properties that the Foundation does not know about? SCP-5769: Well, only one that I can think of. I’m supposed to live as long as a human lives. D-29141: That was a pretty boring interview, but I guess we finally got to finish one. Hey, I've sorta got some of my own questions, if that's alright. Dr. Gonsalves: That is not what I would advise. It is not in your best interest to get too terribly friendly with anomalies. D-29141: Come on, man. It's a dog. A dog with a tragic backstory. You can't tell me you're not interested in that. Dr. Gonsalves: I understand the root of your interest, but I really do have to stress how little we know about this thing. It could be far more dangerous than we know. Besides, you asked all the questions we made for you. It's best for you to leave. SCP-5769: I think he should stay. He's been nice to me, and he's the only one here who's treated me with respect. Dr. Gonsalves: I'm sorry, who's the doctor, and who's the dog? SCP-5769: Who's the one who knows everything? D-29141: Damn, you got him good. Dr. Gonsalves: Leave the cell. End of interview: July 21, 2004, 8:25 PM SCP-5769’s claim cannot yet be proven, due to the fact that, at the time of writing, SCP-5769 has been alive for a typical amount of time for a Golden Retriever. Addendum 5769-4: Fourth Interview Purpose: A test of SCP-5769's supposed omniscience. Personnel: Interview monitored by Dr. Gonsalves in a separate room. Conducted by D-29141. Start of interview, July 22, 2004, 11:56 AM D-29141: Okay, Winston. I have more questions today, but I don't really get them. As usual, I guess. Dr. Gonsalves: It does not matter if you don't understand them. So long as we get an answer, everything is fine. Please continue. SCP-5769: This should be entertaining. D-29141: Alright, uh. Awesome. At what time does the President of the United States of America scratch their nose? SCP-5769: Exactly 7:53 PM, everyday. At least, they should. Dr. Gonsalves: Incredible… D-29141: Um, shit, seriously? Is Bigfoot real? SCP-5769: Yes, although there are some reasons you're not supposed to know that. D-29141: Who are Marshall, Carter, and Dark? SCP-5769: They're a group who makes money selling anomalous objects to the super rich. D-29141: Really? I guess if this stuff exists that makes sense. What is the uh… the O5 Council? SCP-5769: [REDACTED] Dr. Gonsalves: Oh my God… D-29141: You plan on telling me what the hell that's supposed to mean? Dr. Gonsalves: Exit the cell. Looks like neither of us are going to be remembering this interview. End of interview: July 22, 2004, 12:10 PM After this interview, the log was immediately redacted and Class A amnestics were to D-29141 and Dr. Gonsalves. SCP-5769 has been determined to have knowledge of the SCP Foundation, the anomalies contained by it, and the O5 Council. Cause for concern has been raised about SCP-5769 and its potential to bring awareness to some closely kept Foundation secrets. Addendum 5769-5: Fifth Interview Purpose: A check of SCP-5769's mental health in containment. Personnel: Interview monitored by Dr. Gonsalves in a separate room. Conducted by D-29141. Start of interview: July 23, 2004, 12:38 PM D-29141: Are you ready? SCP-5769: I sure am, Evan! D-29141: Perfect. Have you recently tried to escape? SCP-5769: Yeah, I have. I tried to dig as quickly as I could during my last outside time. They tranquilized me, though. Maybe they’re waiting to bring my owner up here. D-29141: Maybe so, man. That'd be kinda sad though. I probably wouldn't be able to see you anymore. What have you been doing with your free time? SCP-5769: I’ve mostly just been reading. Nothing much to do here other than that. D-29141: Do you like the doctors here? SCP-5769: Not one bit. They’re the wardens, and I’m the prisoner. D-29141: Yeah, tell me about it. I don't like 'em too much either. I understand where you're coming from. Dr. Gonsalves: Keep in mind I am listening. D-29141: Hey, you wrote the question. SCP-5769: Can I ask you a question, Evan? D-29141: Uh, sure. SCP-5769: How do you feel about the anomalies that the SCP Foundation contains? D-29141: Oh, jeez. Uh, I don't know that much about any of them. I guess I know you, but that's sort of it. They aren't sending me around in too many directions. They had me mop up some goop once, but other than that, I've just been with you. I mean, I like you. You're cool and all, but I've heard some real horror stories. Interviewing a dog is pretty nice compared to what I've heard about some other real dangerous shit. So, I can't speak for everyone, but you're cool. You've actually been a source of light for me here. SCP-5769 begins wagging its tail. SCP-5769: That's nice. Thank you. You can ask your next question now. D-29141: Do you feel ready to discuss the origins of your intelligence? SCP-5769: Give me some time. I think I need to sleep on it. Next time you come in and interview me, ask me. We'll see whether or not I'm ready yet. Dr. Gonsalves: That will be all, D-29141. Please exit the cell. End of interview: July 23, 2004, 12:44 PM Addendum 5769-6: Sixth Interview Purpose: An interview to determine the origin's of SCP-5769's intelligence. Personnel: Interview monitored by Dr. Gonsalves in a separate room. Conducted by D-29141. Start of interview: July 25, 2004, 3:22 PM D-29141: So this is the big moment, huh? They only gave me one question this time. How did you become so intelligent? SCP-5769: Okay, okay, I'm ready. To tell you this, I’m going to go back to the beginning. I was born on April 14, 1999. I belonged to a breeder who sold purebred dogs. I was originally bought by a rich man who thought of me as a status symbol, but he didn’t really like me or take care of me well. He thought I was too wild. He threw me to the streets, where I stayed for a while. It was tough. Seattle isn’t known for its cheerful weather. I ate trash all day until someone found me. It was Samuel Lane, my owner. He brought me to his house. Once we were inside, he gave me a bath and finally fed me some real food. And I’m not talking about dog food. He gave me real carrots and ground beef. That’s better than what the rich guy fed me. He picked me up, looked me in the eyes, and called me Winston. I knew that that was my name. We played all the time. He walked me when it wasn’t raining. He bought me toys. We watched TV together sometimes. But he never brought anybody else home. He was a lonely man, but I still don’t see why. He’s the nicest person in the entire world. On July 1 of this year, he got sick of being lonely. I was his only friend, and he wanted to be real friends. He brought home this book that was bound in leather. It didn’t look to be in good condition. In fact, it looked ancient. There were no letters or markings on it. It was thick, too. There were a lot of pages. Sam said he was going to change our lives before he got out bags full of different things. I saw chalk, salt, hay, and a big thing of water. There was also a lot of almonds and heather, which are apparently used in witchcraft for wisdom and longevity. He drew a chalk circle around me and covered it with the salt. He sprinkled the hay all over me, and it got in the circle. I don’t think it was supposed to do that. Something in me says so. Of course, I had no clue what was happening at the time, and I just sat there because I thought it was a game. He put the heather and the almonds into the water, which was now in a large glass goblet of some sort. He put a sewing needle to my forehead to get one drop of blood, which he also put into the goblet. Then, he threw a lit match into the mixture, which was extinguished the moment it touched the water. To my surprise, the mixture ignited three seconds later. When the flame stopped, the mixture now looked like one, homogeneous liquid. Sam put it to my mouth, and I drank all of it. He started chanting in a language I’m almost positive does not exist. I remember him saying the names of the knowledge gods Thoth3 and Fukurokuju4. Next thing I knew, I… well, I knew. I could think. I was suddenly smart. I talked to Sam, and he hugged me. I knew we were going to be even better friends now. I kept talking to him, and I noticed he looked a little sad. I wasn't quite sure why. He did the ritual to make us even better friends. We had been having long conversations. I told him all about ancient philosophies and mental health. Looking back on it now, I guess I can see why he was bothered. I was basically analyzing him all the time. I was pointing out signs of depression and anxiety because I wanted him to take better care of himself. I was even trying to educate him on stuff that Plato said about the human condition. When I asked him what was wrong, he said I was too smart. He went out with the book and came back without it. Throughout the next five days, he constantly yelled at me. Called me a freak. Said he didn't need my help being happy. Said I was all wrong. That he corrupted the only thing that loved him. I don’t know why. I still love him. I really do. I want to see him again, so I must, right? And he loves me. I know he does He was just a little mad, that's all. If these guys let me go back now, we’ll be best friends again. Anyway, he left on July 8 with his car. When he didn't come back that night, I started shouting to try and get someone's attention, to make sure he was alright. That’s when the police showed up. D-29141: Holy shit… I’m… I’m so sorry… Dr. Gonsalves: Thank you, D-29141. You may exit the cell. End of interview: July 25, 2004, 3:42 PM Addendum 5769-7: Interview with Samuel Lane Purpose: An interview to determine Samuel Lane's knowledge of SCP-5769 before administering amnestics. Personnel: Interview conducted by Researcher James. Start of interview: July 31, 2004, 5:01 PM Researcher James: Hi, Mr. Lane. I'm here to ask you a few questions about your dog. Samuel Lane: Fine. Go ahead. Researcher James: Is the dog who calls himself “Winston Lane” your dog? Samuel Lane: He certainly was. Before I fuckin' freak-ified the thing. Researcher James: So, does this mean it is true that you performed some sort of ritual to increase the object's intelligence? Samuel Lane: The object? Well, yeah, and I fucked it up. Something about the hay or the almonds, used too much. Got all fucked. Now, he knows everything in the goddamn world. Researcher James: Where is the book you found this ritual in currently? Samuel Lane: Incinerator, hopefully. I tried to destroy it myself, but I wasn't having any luck with that. I hoped my tax dollars could at least get it to a landfill, even if it doesn't end up burning. Researcher James: Where did you find this book? Samuel Lane: Some guy on the street gave it to me. Said I looked lonely. Handed me that book with a bookmark on the page pertaining to my situation. Researcher James: Can you describe this man? Samuel Lane: Yeah, sure. Pale guy, but, like, creepy white, whiter than the whitest guy you've ever seen. Tall, maybe 6 foot 4 or something near there. Couldn’t really see his eyes. Come to think of it, they sorta… I guess they must've been covered by something, but I can't remember. He looked like he might’ve been a drug dealer, but some fancy one. I mean, the guy was wearing a suit and a hat in the alley, out in the rain. Researcher James: I see. Do you feel any affection for your dog? Samuel Lane: What? Jesus, fuck no. That thing was such a cute dog, and then it started trying to talk about the nature of the human condition, telling me I look sad, wanting to watch the fuckin' five o'clock news. Total nuisance. Researcher James: Well, thank you for your time. End of interview: July 31, 2004, 5:10 PM Samuel Lane was administered Class-C amnestics after the interview to erase all memories of SCP-5769. Investigations continue into both the identity of the man who gave Samuel Lane the anomalous book and the precise nature of the book itself. Currently, MTF Kappa-21 (“Dog Days of Bummer”) are working to locate the book and its original owner. Addendum 5769-8: Seventh Interview Purpose: An interview to inform SCP-5769 on Samuel Lane. Personnel: Interview monitored by Dr. Gonsalves in a separate room. Conducted by D-29141. Start of interview: August 1, 2004, 9:03 PM Dr. Gonsalves: D-29141, this is not going to be a traditional interview. You are going to be telling SCP-5769 about what happened yesterday. Small talk is fine, just don't completely derail this. D-29141: Do I have to do this? Dr. Gonsalves: No. Feel free to just leave the cell. In fact, while you're at it, why don't we get you a day trip to the official Foundation spa? It really is wonderful this time of year, and the catering is just sublime. D-29141: Fuck, fine. No need to be an ass about it. D-29141 turns to face SCP-5769. D-29141: Hey, Winston. SCP-5769: Hello, Evan! You look sad. Why? D-29141: Hey, buddy. Do you promise to still be my friend? SCP-5769: Of course! I have no reason not to. No, wait. You're about to tell me something bad, aren't you? D-29141: They found your owner. SCP-5769 becomes very excited. It wags its tail and runs around for a few seconds while barking before coming back to the front of D-29141. SCP-5769: Oh, you found Sam! This is great! Did he miss me? Is he coming to see me? We can all play together! At his house! Hey, you can help him be less lonely! How much did he say he loved me? To the moon and back? That's what he always used to say. Does he still have my favorite treats? Does he have Milk-Bones at the very least? Did he say I was his best friend? Tell me, tell me, tell me! Dr. Gonsalves: Play the recording. D-29141 reluctantly presses play on a tape recorder. Recording of Researcher James: I see. Do you feel any affection for your dog? Recording of Samuel Lane: What? Jesus, fuck no. That thing was such a cute dog, and then it started trying to talk about the nature of the human condition, telling me I look sad, wanting to watch the fuckin' five o'clock news. Total nuisance. SCP-5769 stops wagging its tail and grows dejected. D-29141: Look, buddy, I'm so, so sorry. SCP-5769: I… I understand. You didn't make any of that happen. I'm just… I didn't want it to end like that. I thought we were best friends. But he hated me. So that's that. SCP-5769 forces a laugh before crying. Dr. Gonsalves: If it's any consolation, Samuel Lane no longer has any memories of you. D-29141: Jesus Christ. Fuck off, man. Have you ever consoled anyone in your life? SCP-5769: No, it's… it's fine. I would rather he not remember me at all than hate me. D-29141: I'm so, so sorry. I wish it went differently. But that guy, you were too good for him. You're a really good friend, buddy, and a really good dog. Dr. Gonsalves: That will be all, D-29141. Exit the cell. D-29141 begins to leave. SCP-5769: Evan, before you leave, can you hug me? D-29141: Of course. D-29141 returns to his previous place and wraps his arms around SCP-5769. SCP-5769 puts its head on D-29141's shoulder and whimpers. This is allowed to last for its entire length of nearly ten minutes before D-29141 leaves. End of interview: August 1, 2004, 9:19 PM Addendum 5769-9 Although interviews continue with SCP-5769, they are mostly wellness checks, determining mental health and physical fitness. Minor escape attempts continue during SCP-5769’s outside time, but these are not considered a serious threat, as they are all easily prevented. SCP-5769 continues to display dangerous levels of knowledge, including highly classified information about the Foundation, as well as certain useful knowledge on the condition and operations of various groups of interest. When D-29141 ceased conducting interviews, SCP-5769 showed much less enthusiasm and a lack of willingness to cooperate. In order to ensure continued cooperation in the procuration of beneficial knowledge for the Foundation's mission to maintain normalcy, D-29141 has been permitted to be retained indefinitely as the permanent interviewer of SCP-5769, as well as allowing him to be present during all outdoor sessions, which has put an apparent stop to escape attempts. Progress on locating the book and the man who gave it to Samuel Lane has been stagnant, with SCP-5769 either not cognizant of any pertinent information or unwilling to assist in the efforts for its own purposes. Some members of staff have suggested that the man may be "Nobody". However, there is no concrete evidence for this claim aside from the appearance of the man as described by Lane. SCP-5769 has remained adamant about returning to Samuel Lane, despite knowledge of his memory erasure and previous opinion. It has reading and has generally been more lethargic. Due to SCP-5769’s highly advanced intellect, some researchers have suggested that it is planning an escape attempt. All personnel are advised to keep a close watch on SCP-5769, as due to its deep knowledge of the facility, a successful escape attempt could cause a chain reaction, leading to a large-scale containment breach of Site-66.

Pens and the RED PARADE Event not included. Item #: SCP-5770 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5770 manifestations are to be minimally monitored, and any witnesses are to be subjected to amnesticization. All notes obtained from the RED PARADE Events are to be analyzed. Description: SCP-5770 is a worldwide phenomenon involving the manifestation of SCP-5770-1, a collective designation for red pandas (Ailurus fulgens) involved, in the vicinity of individuals involved in creating works of literary fiction and non-fiction, in the form of prose, poetry, or plays. So far, 102,200 individuals have been recorded to experience SCP-5770, which primarily manifested only when they are asleep or in a state of extreme fugue and exhaustion. They remain unconscious during the entirety of the event. Waking up after the event, they experience heightened levels of happiness and determination to continue writing. Pattern analysis indicates that SCP-5770 has a likelier chance of manifesting if the author: Has mediocre sales or reception of articles and publications; Suffers from depression, midlife crises, and an inferiority complex about their works; Is constantly overtaken by other authors, particularly in communities or groups where rankings are held in high regard; Has taken several workshops, classes, and courses on writing, but with no major success in actual publications; Has small social networks with other authors, and is generally ignored in communities or groups, online or offline, where cliques of authors have formed During an SCP-5770 manifestation, a RED PARADE Event will commence, with the following series of activities occurring: The room where the individual is located will enlarge after a brief flash of light. The sound of a news jingle is heard, with subjects describing them as similar to a mix of electronic music and the rhythm of the folk songs of the author's nationality. 20 to 150 SCP-5770-1 instances, each of which has a collar engraved with the word "AVIATICA',1 manifest in lines of five. They often use clothing resembling uniforms of the writers, field reporters and broadcasters of known news outlets such as ABS-CBN, Reuters, the Agence France Presse, and Sky News. They loudly chant the phrase "DREAM ON!". 10 minutes after the manifestation, an array of East Asian pagodas, Western-inspired constructions (i.e. columns), and carriages will manifest, each of which has SCP-5770-1 instances driving and riding them. Film cameras and pen sculptures decorate them. They are described by witnesses as a pastiche of cultural symbols from different eras. Effigies of animals, such as a raven, a mockingbird, a cuckoo, pigs in suits, and a whale, with a black eyepatch and a hook replacing the left flipper, appear. They are carried by the SCP-5770-1 instances. Castles and churches then appear in the background, with 10m-tall paper sculptures of red panda heads adorning their main spires or towers. Newspapers, dated from 1800 to 2025, cover the floor of the room. Several two-meter raven-like entities then arrive and settle on the windows of the individual's room. They are mechanical and composed of clockwork. A one-meter tall SCP-5770-1 instance, dressed in a black and red suit or a white changshan2 , a cane, and a monocle, will disembark from one of the avian entities, bow, and approach the individual. It is either carrying a camera or an audio recorder. This instance will then gift a small pen on the table or at the side of the individual. Afterward, the instance will clap its paws and growl, and the parade stops. After 30 seconds, the parade demanifests. The room then reverts to its original size. The pen given by the instance is non-anomalous, although it is wrapped in a handwritten note with no discernable origin. A sample is provided below: A Pen and a Panda Red panda writers Climbing our own grey mountains The pen's wolves then howl As other pandas skitter, climb higher mountains We remain with tails Though our mountains May still be a small bamboo shoot At least, they're our own Soon, our claws - our pens - will raise our own mountains Gleaming with our pride Update: A minor information breach occurred via a digital publication, titled "To Let Freedom Ring", published to a writing site called the Bureau of Epistemological Protection. The author's discussion page post indicated a partial recognition of SCP-5770. It currently has a like-dislike ratio of 57:15 . To the red panda with the cane, I hope that you swing by again. It's been a lotta fun writing since that time, even with the site contests and all. Padayon, Mr. Panpen! Footnotes 1. GoI-503; A journalistic organization focused on large-scale stunts.

SCP-5771's containment cell is to be cleaned of spore build-up on a bi-weekly basis by assigned personnel equipped with full level-4 hazmat gear. The entrance to SCP-5771's containment is to consist of an airlock door system with an in-built fungicidal decontamination shower. Personnel must use the decontamination shower before leaving the containment area in order to avoid spore spread. Failure to do this will result in immediate disciplinary action. Description: SCP-5771 is an organic humanoid creature measuring approximately 30.48 meters in height, with a cephalic region resembling a mushroom of the Amanita pantherina species. The creature possesses a light brown convex cap with raised scales and free, white gills. SCP-5771 has a body resembling that of a human skeleton. Tissue samples have determined that its structure is composed of its own stalk material and the thorax of the creature is composed of the ring of the fungus. The creature also does not appear to have any facial features, however it reacts to visual and auditory stimuli. The means in which SCP-5771 uses to see and hear is currently unknown. SCP-5771 constantly emits white spores. When these spores are inhaled, it results in spontaneous respiratory arrest. Death occurs within 3 minutes in most cases. When approached by a human, SCP-5771 will crouch down in front of them. This was originally believed to be a hostile stance, SCP-5771 attempting to get its spores closer to the subject in order to induce symptoms quicker. In reality, this stance is an attempt on SCP-5771's part to appear less threatening to humans by reducing its stature.1 Addendum 5771-A, Discovery: SCP-5771 was discovered by the Foundation on 22/02/2020 after being sighted at a National Park in south-eastern California. Any civilians present were immediately administered with class-A amnestics. The 18 discovered civillian victims were reported as suicides to their families and no autopsies took place on the bodies. Addendum 5771-B, Test log: Date: 29/02/2020 Test 5771-001: A laboratory mouse contained in a standard barred rodent cage was placed in SCP-5771's containment cell in order to observe the effects of the spores on non-human creatures. Results: The mouse was unharmed. An interesting observation, however, is how interested in the animal SCP-5771 appeared to be, not moving its head away from the cage and seemingly watching it intently for the full 60 minutes. Date: 15/04/2020 Test 5771-002: D-2304 was introduced to SCP-5771's containment to collect tissue for microscopic analysis. D-2304 was wearing level-2 hazmat gear. Results: Due to the sheer amount of spores SCP-5771 produces, some of the saturated air managed to bypass D-2304's hazmat gear. D-2304 suffered respiratory arrest and expired exactly 3 minutes after exposure. Notice: Following this test, all personnel entering SCP-5771's containment cell must be equipped with level-4 hazmat gear. - Site-95 Director Addendum 5771-C, Test 003: CLICK HERE TO PROCEED – hide block Date: 22/06/2020 Test 5771-003: Dr. Zaretsky has suggested using biodata sonification to observe whether or not microcurrent fluctuations occur in SCP-5771 as they do in non-anomalous living organisms. Results: The electrodes to SCP-5771's feet were successfully attached without difficulty. Once the biodata sonification device was turned on, almost immediately, microcurrent fluctuations were detected. However, alongside the expected noises that were produced, a deep pitched, slightly static voice was audible. This voice stated the following: "Nature…is…friend… Nature…is…friend…why?…" Addendum 5771-D, Interview Log: CLICK HERE TO PROCEED – hide block Date: 24/06/2020 Interviewed: [SCP-5771] Interviewer: [Dr. Mabel Zaretsky, Senior Researcher and Mycologist at Site-95.] Foreword: During this interview, Dr. Zaretsky will be in a level-4 hazmat suit. SCP-5771 has been attached to the biodata sonification device without incident. <Begin Log, > Zaretsky: -Is it on? Sorry, I'm not used to this newer tape recorder… is it- oh, it's working. Good… Ahem. Hello, 5771, my name is Dr. Zaretsky and I will be conducting this interview today. Please can you indicate if you understand me? SCP-5771: …understanding… Zaretsky: Okay, perfect. Can you tell me where you came from? SCP-5771: …Nature… Zaretsky: um… I'm going to need specifics… you were discovered walking around a National Park, and you seemingly popped out of nowhere. SCP-5771: …Nature… is… friend… Nature… is… mother… grew… from… mother… Zaretsky: Right… so you grew. But why? What we are trying to find out, 5771 is why a 100ft mushroom suddenly appeared and started walking around. SCP-5771: …Why… hurt… mother…? Zaretsky: S-sorry? SCP-5771: …Nature…is…friend… human…dislike… nature…? Zaretsky: I like nature. Why do you ask? SCP-5771: …Mother… is… sick… Zaretsky: Are you referring to climate change? SCP-5771: … mother… is… changing?… yes…mother… is… sick…why…hurt…mother…? Nature…love…human… Zaretsky: is that why you use your spores to harm humans? SCP-5771: …unintentional… love… human… Zaretsky: Unintentional? Are you saying you don't control your own spores? SCP-5771: …correct… love… human… Zaretsky: Okay… but you just said we hurt nature.. or mother, whichever it is. Why would you love us if we- [SCP-5771 talks over Zaretsky] SCP-5771: …forgiveness… human…is…friend… Zaretsky: um… well yes, of course we're your… friends. we don't want to hurt you, 5771. In fact, one of our goals is to protect. SCP-5771: …protect…?… apologies… human… failed… Zaretsky: … Are you aware of something we don’t know about? SCP-5771: …friend…please… protect… mother… <End Log> Closing Statement: Although SCP-5771's speech is very broken, from what we can decipher it is clear that it does not have malicious intentions as originally thought. I have submitted a request to authorize further interviews with SCP-5771. - Dr. Zaretsky2 Incident Log 5771-001: Upon concluding the interview, SCP-5771 attempted to pick up Dr. Zaretsky. Zaretsky reacted to this with a shriek, which appeared to startle 5771, causing it to release its grip and drop her approximately 5m. 5771 did not attempt to do this again and Zaretsky was able to get into the decontamination shower room, where infirmary staff were able to safely retrieve her. Zaretsky was treated for a broken left wrist, fractures in her left ankle, left arm and left elbow and some other minor sprain injuries, but was otherwise okay. She is expected to be able to return to work within 6 weeks. Date: 25/06/2020 Interviewer: [Dr. Danielle Baker, Researcher and Botanist at Site-95] Interviewed: [SCP-5771] Foreword: SCP-5771 has sat in the same place in its containment cell since incident 5771-001 occurred. Dr. Baker has been equipped with a device that will emit a sudden noise if SCP-5771 gets within 1m of it.3 <begin log> Dr. Baker: 5771, tell me in your own words what happened yesterday. SCP-5771: …human…where…friend…? Dr. Baker: In a hospital bed. And I'd like to know why. Now. SCP-5771: …love… friend… held… friend… apologies… Dr. Baker: That's not an explanation, 5771! We want to know, why! Why would you do that to Mabel after talking about love and friends and all that bullshit for h- [Baker is cut off by the supervisor in her ear piece.] Supervisor: Doctor, enough. It's an interview not an interrogation. SCP-5771: …unintentional…! apologies…! apologies… many… apologies…! friend… nature… loves…! Friend… forgives? Dr. Baker: [sighs] Lucky for you, Zaretsky’s more forgiving than I am. She was sat there in the damn bed asking if you were ok whilst they were fixing up her arm. She'll be back after she’s healed, I bet. So, you're saying this was an accident, correct? SCP-5771: …Correct… apologies… human… Dr. Baker: Good. That’s all I needed. Any final comment before I leave? SCP-5771: Human… protect… friend… please… Dr. Baker: … I will. <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-5771 has stated that incident 5771-001 was an accident and has apologised. As Zaretsky has also stated it seemed unintentional, and SCP-5771 did not attempt the same behaviour again, there is sufficient evidence that this is the case. No further action is needed on this matter. - Dr. Baker Date: 20/08/2020 Interviewer: [Dr. Zaretsky, Senior Researcher and Mycologist at Site-95] Interviewed: [SCP-5771] Foreword: Dr. Zaretsky has recovered from incident 5771-001. After psychological evaluation and a physical assessment, she is now safe to continue research on SCP-5771. <Begin Log> SCP-5771: …Friend…! Dr. Zaretsky: Hi, 5771. Its been a while since our last- [Zaretsky is cut off by 5771] SCP-5771: …friend…apologies… unintentional… hurt… friend… Dr. Zaretsky: You've already been forgiven, but… um… I really need to ask you these questions now, okay? (This suit isn't the most comfortable…) SCP-5771: …Forgiven…yes… Dr. Zaretsky: Thank you, now… last time, you spoke of "mother". What do you mean when you say that? SCP-5771: … Mother… is… friend… Mother… is… water… air… land… Mother… is… nature… nature… is… Mother… Mother is… home… Dr. Zaretsky: Okay, so that does mean Earth, then… and, how is "Mother" sick? SCP-5771: …Mother… is… coughing… burning… freezing… drowning… shaking… Dr. Zaretsky: And is that why you grew? Because of climate ch- "Mother" being sick? SCP-5771: …grew… to… tell… friends… "save… Mother"… many… humans… but… few… friends… <End Log> Closing Statement: Not only is SCP-5771 capable of retaining long term memories, but seems to have a conscience and understanding of human emotions. SCP-5771 confirmed our suspicions that "Mother" or "Nature" is how it refers to Earth, and in turn, the sickness it describes is how it refers to climate change. No issues occurred this time when leaving the containment cell. - Dr. Zaretsky. Footnotes 1. See Addendum 5771-D, Interview 5771-001. 2. Request has been granted. - Site-95 Director 3.

SCP-5772 | keter | Simulation of a small component of SCP-5772. Item #: SCP-5772 Special Containment Procedures: All Type 1 information-generating anomalies1 are to be investigated and suppressed. Research into the Navier-Stokes equation2 and related partial differential equations is to be monitored and dissuaded. Regular assessments of the risk of non-anomalous mathematical derivation of SCP-5772 are to be conducted. Such derivation is currently considered unlikely in the short-term. All explosions of at least 25kt TNT-equivalent (1014 J) which are not associated with known nuclear-capable organizations are to be investigated for signs of SCP-5772 involvement. Research is to be conducted into long-range detection of SCP-5772 instances. Description: SCP-5772 is an efficiently implementable counterexample to the Navier-Stokes conjecture.3 When physically implemented, an SCP-5772 instance takes the form of an interacting system of vortices. As time progresses, the vortices will undergo feedback loops which concentrate the energy of the system into a smaller and smaller region near the center. As long as the system continues to evolve according to the Navier-Stokes equations for ideal viscous fluids, energy is concentrated arbitrarily densely, violating the Navier-Stokes smoothness conjecture. Due to the non-ideal nature of the fluid, the evolution of the system eventually ceases to follow the Navier-Stokes equations, when the characteristic vortex width reaches the atomic scale. At this point, the high concentration of energy leads to the breakdown of the fluid's constituent particles, the brief formation of a Planck-scale black hole, and the liberation of over 1% of the rest mass of the fluid. Mass-to-energy conversion ratio is significantly higher than the 0.024% conversion ratio of the B41 nuclear bomb, the maximum yield-to-weight ratio previously demonstrated. Tests indicate that the system of vortices could be easily implemented in a fluid system of up to 2500 m^3,4 allowing the straightforward production of explosives on the teraton scale (1021 J), on par with the most recent eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Research into the feasibility of the creation of larger SCP-5772 instances is ongoing. Addendum: SCP-5772 became known to the Foundation when it was described by SCP-10001. SCP-10001's primary anomalous property is its ability and compulsion to correctly answer any factual question posed to it. During testing on 27 April 2020, SCP-10001 was asked "What's the most dangerous thing I could do without standing up?". SCP-10001 then described a specific method for stirring a cup of tea. Footnotes 1. Anomalous information-generation entities with no limit on the nature of the information generated. 2. The Navier-Stokes equations describe the motion of viscous fluids, in a generic fashion. 3. The Navier-Stokes conjecture claims that from any starting conditions, a fluid system that moves according to the Navier-Stokes equations will remain "smooth". The smoothness condition roughly claims that the fluid's velocity, pressure and energy density will remain below some upper bound based on the initial state of the system. 4.

SCP-5773 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5773 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5773 is to inhabit a blank canvas located in a standard containment chamber. No paper is to be brought into the chamber without authorization. It is to be kept away from physical documents. All contaminated material found are to be incinerated. Once a week, SCP-5773 is to be fed by providing it with a printed illustration. In the event a print is not available, staff are to draw on a piece of paper with any available writing implement. The subject or quality of the illustration is irrelevant. Transportation is to be performed by placing the canvas containing SCP-5773 in a fireproof container equipped with a lock, and GPS locater. SCP-5773 is to be removed from the case when it is isolated in a containment chamber. Description: SCP-5773 is an animate black line that is 0.4 cm thick, and 19.7 cm long. It exists within the confines of paper or canvas media where it subsists on whatever is imprinted on their surface such as ink, crayon, paint, or graphite. Feeding eventually results in no content printed on the surface, and with SCP-5773 budding into multiple instances. They will proceed to search for additional media to consume, but if deprived access they will absorb each other instead until one remains. The composition of SCP-5773 is unknown as chemical analysis of it only registers the paper that it resides on. When not feeding and unable to travel, it remains dormant on the surface of the paper or canvas. It has been observed that its movements cause the paper to degrade faster, so its dormancy is viewed as a method of survival. The entity is able to transfer between sheets of paper as long as there is physical contact, or at least within 1 cm for it to jump only a fragment. Said fragment will grow into another instance of a similar length if provided with sufficient sustenance. Without anything to consume for a week, the specimen will slowly shrink in length at a rate of approx. 5 µm per day. An instance shrinks until it completely disappears. Signs of sapience have been noted during attempts at possible communication, which were performed by writing a message on a sheet of paper. It did not respond to what was written, but it would later start to use its own form to spell out "hungry" or "help" when deprived of sustenance. This confirms that it is partially aware of its environment outside of its 2-dimensional space. Further attempts at communication have resulted in failure. Addendum 5773-1: Recovery Log SCP-5773 was discovered in 05/22/2013 at a local library in Gothenburg, Sweden. The librarians found that numerous books were having their contents consumed by multiple instances. Agents were immediately deployed to contain SCP-5773. Over 85% of the books in the library were contaminated, and subsequently destroyed as a result. Twenty books were taken for research while the rest were incinerated. Individuals that had recently checked out a book from the library were tracked down to prevent possible instances from spreading further into the public. The investigation into SCP-5773 has obtained security footage of the day prior to the incident revealing a possible suspect. They have since been classified as POI-5773, and efforts are currently underway to identify them. Attached to this addendum is the transcript of the footage. Video Transcript 5773-1 SUMMARY: The following footage was filmed on 05/22/2013 of a suspect believed to be responsible for the existence of SCP-5773. <BEGIN LOG> 04:10 A young male suspect enters the library with a gray backpack, and a black hoodie. He does not interact with anyone, and travels to the east side of the building where no one is present. 04:14 Suspect sits at a desk near the window. Bookshelves are located to the left side of the camera. An arch attached to the ceiling partial obscures the individual. He proceeds to place the backpack on top of the desk and rummage through it. 04:15 POI-5773 takes out a sheet of paper, and what appears to be a writing utensil. He then writes with it. Due to the position of the camera, analysis of the item cannot be adequately performed. 04:16 Static interference briefly disrupts the camera feed as the suspect appears to briefly perform kinetoglyphs1 with his hands while twiddling the writing utensil. The interference ceases as the item is returned into the backpack. The sheet of paper is then folded. 04:18 POI-5773 rises from the desk and walks toward the bookshelves. Another camera angle shows him taking a book and opening it. The sheet of paper is placed inside it before it is closed and returned to the shelf. POI-5773 walks back to the desk to retrieve the backpack. 04:20 POI-5773 travels towards the exit and leaves the library. <END LOG> NOTE: The sheet of paper was recovered by personnel, but it was found to be blank with significant damages. Addendum 5773-2: Global Occult Coalition Three libraries throughout Europe were destroyed by the Global Occult Coalition in the weeks following SCP-5773's discovery. Correspondence with the Global Occult Coalition confirmed the locations to have been infested with the same anomaly. At the third site, they had recovered the body of POI-5773 after a violent altercation was reported shortly before the infestation was apparent. POI-5773's cause of death was via gunshot wound to the chest by another individual. A request was submitted to the Coalition to access complete information regarding the incident, which was granted. The following is a video transcript of POI-5773's death. Video Transcript 5773-2 SUMMARY: The following is a transcript of footage that was filmed on 06/28/2013. The events occurred within a public library located in Lublin, Poland. <BEGIN LOG> 03:04 POI-5773 enters the library wearing the same black hoodie, and backpack. He travels south to find a secluded desk. The same actions are performed, and the paper is placed in a random book on the shelves. 03:07 POI-5773 proceeds toward the direction of the exit but is stopped by a man in a suit. The face of the individual is significantly distorted in the footage, and is unidentifiable as a result. Witnesses reported no abnormalities but struggle to remember the man's face. A possible antimeme is suspected. 03:08 The two argue with one another. Foundation lip readers note that POI-5773 mouthed the words "Wanderer's Library" twice. 03:11 The argument ends with the unknown individual drawing out a .44 magnum revolver, and firing three shots at POI-5773. He then approaches the deceased body of POI-5773 to pat them down before taking the backpack. Suspect briefly looks through it and takes an object from it, presumably the writing utensil observed in the previous footage. Before leaving, the individual places an envelope on top of the body. <END LOG> NOTE: The contents of the envelope was a letter addressed to the Foundation and the GOC. The letter simply read "You don't need to worry about these pests showing up anymore. You're welcome." Footnotes 1. Also known as kinetohazards. They are phenomena that occur through specific sets of movement. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5773" by AsukaOnna, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5774 | safe | close Info X SCP-5774: Cryptid Catchers: Season 5 Author: CrystalMonarch More by this author SCP-5774 in its inactive state. Item #: SCP-5774 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5774 is contained in Standard Containment Locker B031. It must be kept under constant surveillance and a CCTV system connected to main site power has been installed within Locker B031 for this purpose. Description: In its inactive state, SCP-5774 is a 21cm tall stone figurine that has been sculpted into roughly simian form. Several small markings of thaumaturgic significance have been painted on the base of its left foot, the purpose of which remains unknown. The sculpture has been dated to originate in the pre-colonial Aztec empire and the paint used has been sourced to Home Depot's 2003 re-release of their 'Summer Rose' wood paint. SCP-5774 enters and remains in its inactive state whenever it is recorded by any kind of analogue or digital recording device. In its active state SCP-5774 takes the form of one of a variety of entities from modern folklore. Observed appearances include those resembling popular depictions of El Chupacabra, Mothman, The Jersey Devil, Skunk Ape and several varieties of Bigfoot. These forms are intangible, and incapable of physically interacting with their environment, but are otherwise indistinguishable from physical entities by human senses. SCP-5774 is sentient but not sapient, and has displayed highly effective hunting instincts while in its active state, as well as skill in evading detection. It has also shown the capacity to locate its targets regardless of intervening distance or efforts taken to conceal their whereabouts. If left unrestricted, SCP-5774 will attempt to stalk and terrorize Billy and Matt MacGuller, the hosts of the television show Cryptid Catchers. Interview 5774-1 Close File Promotional image of Matthew MacGuller from Cryptid Catchers Season 4. Interview 5774-1 Date: 04/03/08 Interviewed: Matthew MacGuller Interviewer: Agent Sara Valasquez Foreword: SCP-5774 first came to the Foundation’s attention when Matthew MacGuller reported an attack by an unidentified entity to local police. Due to similarities between his description and SCP-1000, MTF Zeta-1000 was alerted and a local Agent was dispatched to his hotel in order to conduct a follow-up interview. Matt has a Masters degree in Zoology, and prior to hosting Cryptid Catchers hosted Almost Heaven1 and The Amazing Lives of Bats2. He has no known affiliation to any anomalous individuals or organisations. <Begin Log> Agent Valasquez: I hope you don’t mind if I record this Mr MacGuller? It’s just for our internal records. Matthew MacGuller: Yeah sure, whatever, who did you say you are again? Agent Valasquez: My name is Sara Valasquez, I’m with State Animal Control. The police forwarded on your report about a dangerous animal attack and I’m here to confirm a few things with you. Matthew MacGuller: Police sure didn’t seem interested in forwarding anything on last night. People think being a celebrity makes life easier, well that’s a load of shit. Just makes all the little people think I’m some kind of clown for their amusement. Agent Valasquez: I’m very sorry you feel the police didn’t take your report sufficiently seriously Mr MacGuller, but I can assure you that your television career won’t impact my judgement. I just want the facts. Matthew MacGuller: Well fine, first fact I have for you is that that thing was no animal, it was a goddamn monster. Agent Valasquez: Perhaps you could give me some more detail about what exactly it was that you saw? The police report was a little… vague. Matthew MacGuller: OK fine, but you need to understand that I know how unbelievable this sounds. I never bought into any of the cryptid crap, it’s just entertainment. Hell, most of our viewers don’t believe that stuff we spout is real. Agent Valasquez: I understand Mr MacGuller, please just tell me the facts as you remember them. Matthew MacGuller: We were on location doing a night shoot in Preston County, and I’d gone out back for a piss, and this thing comes running at me out of the woods. I think it’s a prank at first, Billy in one of the monster suits trying to scare me. But then it gets closer and I saw it, I smelt it! Had to be seven foot tall, was hairy like a bear but ran like a man and it had these glowing red eyes and smelled like death. Agent Valasquez: Glowing red eyes? Matthew MacGuller: Fuck you, I told you I knew how it sounded. But that’s what I saw. Agent Valasquez: And how do you explain the lack of footprints, or shed hair, or any other sign of this supposed creature’s existence? Matthew MacGuller: No fucking clue. But I swear that thing would have killed me if the others hadn’t heard me shouting and come out to help. And it’s been following me, I keep seeing glimpses of something out of the corner of my eye. I know it’s following me. Agent Valasquez: And no one else has seen this creature? Matthew MacGuller: It’s fast OK? Real fucking fast and knows how to hide. Agent Valasquez: OK Mr MacGuller, thank you for your time, I think I have all I need. <End Log> Closing Statement: The conclusion of Agent Valasquez was that there was no evidence of genuine anomalous events, and as such Matthew MacGuller was not brought in for further questioning. Matthew MacGuller and the continued production of ‘Cryptid Catchers’ Season 5 was put under Grade IV surveillance3. Interview 5774-2 Close File Promotional image of Billy MacGuller from Cryptid Catchers, Season 4. Interview 5774-2 Date: 26/03/08 Interviewed: Billy MacGuller Interviewer: Doctor Brandt Foreword: Several weeks after the initial interview with Matthew MacGuller, surveillance picked up social media posts from Billy MacGuller claiming to have ‘captured a genuine cryptid’ along with images of SCP-5774 in its inactive state. Agents sent to investigate discovered SCP-5774’s anomalous capabilities and took both MacGuller brothers in for questioning. Billy’s doctorate in ‘Trapology’ is a fictional creation of the show. In reality he holds no advanced degree, having failed out of college courses in Fine Art, Astronomy and Religious Studies. He worked a series of low level jobs before being hired as a co-host of Cryptid Catchers and has no known affiliation to any anomalous individuals or organisations. <Begin Log> Dr Brandt: Hello Mr MacGuller, I apologise for keeping you waiting so long. I have a few questions I need to ask you. Billy MacGuller: That’s no problem ma’am, and you can call me Billy. So are you folks some kind of Men in Black type organisation? At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Will Smith walked in and started asking questions. Billy laughs Dr Brandt: There’s a lot less action and a lot more paperwork than in the movies Billy, but I like to think we’re a little more competent. Now, could you please explain how you managed to capture the, uh, anomalous entity? Billy MacGuller: I guess you mean our shapeshifting cryptid friend? Well, it weren’t easy. Matt was the first to see it, but it started coming after me too not long after. Scared the shit out of both of us, skulking around, making those damn creepy noises. But after a while with neither of us being hurt I figured it probably didn’t mean any harm. It always disappeared whenever other folks were around and it never got caught on any of our cameras so I figure out it don’t like being watched. And then I decide to set up a little trap for it. I went out in the woods all by myself, giving it plenty of opportunity to try and spook me like it likes to. Left my car at the side of the road and went a little walk, admiring some of the natural flora and fauna until the cryptid decides to show up. Then Wham, I activate all the drones that I’d got our producers to lay up the day before. It sure does make things easier, having a TV show’s budget to throw around. 360 degree cameras and floodlights on each one, nowhere to hide. Except it did hide, somehow. Had to trawl through the dirt for hours before I found the little statue doohickey it turned into. And I made sure to keep a camera trained on it until I had it somewhere secure. Dr Brandt: That’s surprisingly competent work from a civilian Mr MacGuller. Have you had any interaction with the anomalous before? Billy MacGuller: Nah. I play an expert trapper on the show but that’s all made up, only trapping I’ve done before was some squirrels back when my uncle took me and Matt hunting when we were kids. I only did the show cause Matt wanted to, he said it’d be easy money. No science knowledge required, just grow out our beards and ramble about Bigfoot and the like. I was out of work at the time and needed the money so I figured, sure. I just think it’s so cool that this stuff actually turned out to be real, I never thought I’d see anything like it. Do you folks deal with this kinda stuff all the time? That must be amazing. Dr Brandt: You know I can’t talk details about what it is the Foundation does, and I’d say this entity is more disgusting than amazing. But, it does seem to have a particular fascination with you and your brother, do you have any idea why that would be the case? Billy MacGuller: Can’t say for sure, but I have my suspicions. We get a lot of cranks and weirdos, comes with the territory of a show like Catchers. But there was this one woman who stood out, this goth looking chick with red hair who showed up at one of Matt’s book signings4, I think it was the Portland one. She was real mad, called us ‘false prophets’ and said that those who chose to be blind are bad, but we were worse cause we pretended to believe for material wealth. Kinda stuck with me cause I’d been thinking a lot about if the show was really innocent laughs, or if we were just poking fun at good honest folks who believe in odd stuff. And I remember as well, she said something about how if we ever saw a real monster we wouldn’t find them funny. Well, she got that right, gonna be hard going back to doing the show after seeing what I’ve seen. Dr Brandt: Did she say a name? Any way to contact or identify her? Billy MacGuller: Uh… nope. Nothin I can think of, sorry. Dr Brandt: Thank you Billy, that’ll be all for now <End Log> Closing Statement: After a period of study, it was determined that Billy and Matt MacGuller were not themselves anomalous and had no more relevant information regarding SCP-5774. They were subsequently released under Grade III Foundation surveillance5 Due to their low credibility as witnesses and minimal knowledge of the anomalous, amnesticisation was deemed unnecessary6. The woman who threatened them has been designated POI-5102 and attempts to track her location and identity are ongoing. Incident Report: 23/4/08 Close File POI-5102’s vehicle after the crash. Incident Report: 23/4/08 Foreword: Following the MacGuller’s release, Matthew made several requests to the Foundation for additional security and for financial compensation for his emotional distress, which were summarily denied. Audiovisual and telephone surveillance of Billy MacGuller’s residence was temporarily disrupted on 20/4/08, however Foundation Agents sent to investigate found no sign of suspicious activity and this was assumed to be a technical error. The following transcript is assembled from multiple audiovisual surveillance systems: <Begin Log> Billy MacGuller is at home in his Charleston residence where he lives alone. Camera feed displays exterior view of his residence. An unmarked white Honda Civic parks in his driveway and a young woman matching his description of POI-5102 exits. She approaches his front door and rings the bell. While waiting, she turns and makes direct eye contact with the exterior concealed camera7. Billy MacGuller answers the door shortly after. Billy MacGuller: Oh wow, it’s you, I didn’t know if you’d really come or not. POI-5102: Shut up you idiot, they’re listening. Inside. They enter Billy’s house and camera feed switches to living room8. POI-5102 immediately approaches Billy’s computer and disconnects its power supply. This triggers an alert and draws Foundation attention to the presence of POI-5102. Agents Chu and Valasquez are dispatched to apprehend and contain. Billy MacGuller: Whoa, careful with that! POI-5102: Forget the computer Billy, we don’t have much time and I don’t want them listening in. They could already be on their way for all I know, the sooner we get out of here the better. Billy MacGuller: Hey, who said anything about going anywhere? All I said in the voicemail was that I wanted to talk. POI-5102: You said you wanted to know the truth too, right? See what the world is really like? Well you won’t find that out sitting here doing what those assholes tell you to. You need to make a choice Billy, either you come with me now or spend the rest of your life wondering. Brief silence Billy MacGuller: Fuck it. OK, I’m in, where are we going? POI-5102: It’s not safe to talk here, get in the car. Billy MacGuller: Do I have time to pack? Should I have a weapon? How dangerous is this gonna be? POI-5102: Just move idiot, don’t make me regret giving you a chance. Camera feed switches to exterior and Billy and POI-5102 can be seen entering POI-5102’s vehicle. The car leaves the driveway and turns left at the end of the street, exiting the camera’s field of vision At this time an APB was put out over local police channels and POI-5102’s vehicle was quickly identified and located. Agents Chu and Valasquez9 engaged in pursuit. Camera feed from the Foundation vehicle’s dashboard camera shows POI-5102’s vehicle attempting to evade pursuit in downtown Charleston. The Foundation vehicle begins to close in and radio chatter indicates police have finished setting up roadblocks along major trunk roads. At this point, POI-5102’s vehicle swerves off the road and through a chain link fence into a plot of derelict land beyond. The area is overgrown with weeds and waterlogged after recent rainfall, and is surrounded by fencing on all sides with no obvious escape routes. Billy MacGuller and POI-5102 exit on foot and are pursued by Agents Chu and Valasquez. Thirty feet into the derelict land, there is a pool of stagnant water. As POI-5102 approaches the pool partial dialogue is picked up by Agent’s microphones. Billy MacGuller: What if this doesn’t work? POI-5102: It’s magic, Billy. If your intent is pure and you want it enough, it’ll work. POI-5102 jumps into the stagnant pond and plunges beneath the water, followed shortly after by Billy. They do not resurface. Foundation Agents attempt to follow but discover the pond’s depth is at most 32cm, and the base is a layer of mud over a concrete foundation. Agents Chu and Valasquez are unable to continue the pursuit. <End Log> Closing Statement: It is currently believed that POI-5102 was able to access a Way and both she and Billy Macguller have escaped to the Wanderer’s Library. This Way remains inaccessible to Foundation personnel but is currently being monitored in case of future activity. Since this incident, SCP-5774 has been permanently inactive and a change of classification to Neutralized is pending. Filming of Cryptid Catchers Season 5 has been put on indefinite hiatus.

SCP-5775 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5775 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the size and location of SCP-5775, containment is not possible at this time. Therefore, public knowledge of SCP-5775’s true composition should be suppressed by any means necessary. This includes dissemination of false geological data, feigned historical reports, and other details elaborated upon in Document 5775-7. Public interest in landing on Mars at this time does not pose a concern, as many seem to be unaware of SCP-5775 and its neighbor. However, updated containment procedures are being worked on should public interest turn toward them. Operatives on Specialized Lunar Containment and Research Area (AKA Lunar Area 32) are to monitor SCP-5775 and SCP-5775-1 for unusual behavior. Expeditions to SCP-5775 through the use of SCP-5775-1 must obtain the approval of Site Director Dan Howell and Head Researcher Naomi Lyons. Groups are to consist of two armed agents in addition to required personnel. Teams are advised to report in every hour. ADDENDUM ██/██/████: Following the events of Expedition IV, Mobile Task Force Delta-6 (Marvin Martians) has been created for further explorations of SCP-5775, as well as finding SCP-5775-B. SCP-5775-A is being held in a standard humanoid containment cell in Lunar Area 32. Further expeditions to SCP-5775 are discouraged unless deemed absolutely necessary. Description: SCP-5775 is publicly known as Mars’s smallest moon, Deimos, named for the Greek God of terror. Object has a surface area of 495.1 km2 and a mass of 1.48 * 1015 kg. SCP-5775’s appearance as a normal celestial body is believed to be a combination of holographic illusion and millions of years of damage. SCP-5775 is a large spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin. There is debate over whether the craft is from native Martians or another species of alternate origin. The craft possesses several internal hallways, rooms, and wiring powered by an unknown fuel source, enough to sustain life as seen in previous explorations. Exploration of SCP-5775 has been hindered due to its distance from main Foundation operations. SCP-5775's true nature was discovered in 1999, following the discovery of SCP-5775-1. SCP-5775-1 is a 6.4-kilometer platform of unknown material located in the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon. When stepped on, the object can transport a subject and forty (40) kilograms of equipment to an exterior room in SCP-5775. The room appears to be a hanger, with a single ship, inoperable save for guns attached to the front, being present. The exterior wall, when walked through, returns a subject to SCP-5775-1. The room is sealed with a door of similar material that has so far been unable to be damaged and has hindered the first three expeditions. However, development on a key to hack into the systems of SCP-5775 has been ongoing. Incident Report ██-██-████: The following transmission was received from SCP-5775 and picked up on dead channels of GRU Division “P”. We have been waiting. Help us. Internal Memo, Junior Researcher Thomas Yaltz to Head Researcher Naomi Lyons So, I heard we’re going on another expedition. That’s exciting! I also heard you were looking to bring a Junior Researcher. I was hoping you would pick me. I’m sure the site director has given you some details on my history, so I may seem like a bit of a gamble. But I like to think of it more as experience that can help me in the field. Not to mention, between the 3008 incident and every time I’ve taken lead on the research with the stuff we have gotten from 5775, I think I’m as qualified as someone of my position can be. Plus, I'm very observant. I have all sorts of questions. Who sent this message? Why now? Why is it in English? I hope you consider me for the expedition. SCP-5775 Expedition IV FOR LEVEL 3 ONLY Following the transmission from SCP-5775, Head Researcher Dr. Naomi Lyons requested a team to investigate, citing the prototype of a key able to open the doorway from the hangar. After discussions with the Site Director and O5 Council, the following team was gathered: • Dr. Naomi Lyons, Head Researcher (56) • Dr. Regina Beale, Researcher (45) • Junior Researcher Thomas Yaltz (26) • Agent Helen Troy (39)1 • Agent Jonathan Bell (31) Agents Bell and Troy were outfitted with cameras, while Dr. Beale was designated to take written notes and Junior Researcher Yaltz to take photographs. Video Log Part 1 -Access Granted The team has used SCP-5775-1 to arrive in the hangar. Bell: And we’re rolling. Journey to the Martian Moons, Scene 7, Take 4, Mar- Lyons: Stop it. Bell quiets. Beale approaches Lyons. Beale: Are we walking into a trap? Lyons: Most likely. Beale: So what are we doing here? Lyons: Just because it’s a trap doesn’t mean we have nothing to gain from it. The team approaches the door. Troy pulls Yaltz aside. Troy: Are you gonna be alright, kid? You’re overdue for a shift. Yaltz: Yeah, I’ll be fine. I've seen worse. And I mean, you’re here to protect me, right? Since it’s your job? Troy: Today was supposed to be my day off. Yaltz: Oh, uh… Troy: Kidding. Come on. They rejoin the team. Dr. Lyons pulls the key, a black card, from her pocket and scans it against the door. The door slowly slides open. The hallway it opens to is empty and seemingly abandoned. It is three meters tall. Lyons: Shall we? They move through the hall. Beale: There’s writing on the walls. Look. Yaltz looks, then shields his eyes. Yaltz: Shit, is it memetic? Beale: I don’t think so. I think it’s Ortrothan. Don’t suppose any of you can speak it. The team moves on. More writing is discovered on the walls. Later analysis shows the writings roughly translate to “Help” and “Mercy”. The team enters a large chamber. Notes from Dr. Regina Beale during Expedition IV of SCP-5775 -Access Granted The size of the chamber was the first thing that stood out to me. It wasn’t really that it was tall, but the architecture of the rest of the room with the hallway suggested it was of average size for whatever species roamed here. Not human. Another thing that popped out about the chamber were the six cells surrounding us. The doors were flung open and emptied. Still, we all picked one to analyze. Bell seemed to almost hope a monster would leap out at us. Lyons focused on the central pillar. I followed her eyeline. Above us was what seemed to be a keyboard and a monitor. We didn’t bring any equipment to climb up there, but there was a piece of paper we managed to knock down. The texture suggested something other than paper, but the details were the same- some kind of map. Dr. Lyons has some experience with rockets and spacecrafts. She pointed out what seemed to be a launch site for this thing. Other geographic details lined up with the Martian surface below us. This craft is definitely designed for war, but Yaltz pointed out the cells were more like something the Foundation would have for study. Bright side? The architecture isn’t randomly shifting like Site-13, so… there’s that. Video Log Part 2 -Access Granted The team moves on from the chamber and through the halls. As they round a corner, Agent Troy encounters a body on the floor. The subject appears to be roughly 2 meters tall, with a physical similarity to a praying mantis. Troy: Fucking hell! Back! She pushes the team back. Dr. Lyons looks over her. Lyons: I think it’s dead, Agent Troy. Agent Troy relaxes. Dr. Lyons and Dr. Beale approach the subject. Beale: I think we found what operated those computers. Lyons: And what killed it. Look. Lyons flips the body over. It displays a curved bullet wound, winding through the area designated its hip and out of its neck. Beale: That ain’t right. Yaltz raises his camera. Troy: Thomas! Yaltz: It’s for research! He snaps a picture. Dr. Lyons takes out a pair of pliers and removes a bullet/fly-hybrid from the creature’s neck. Yaltz: Is that a fly? Lyons: It’s been modified. Bio-organic technology. This “fly” was fired. Yaltz: From a gun? That’s so cool! Everyone looks at Junior Researcher Yaltz. Yaltz: Sorry. Agent Troy pats his shoulder. Bell: Hey, what’s that? Agent Bell points further down the hall to a room. Inside, a deceased pterodactyl-like creature is seen crashed through the hull of the ship. On the side of the creature appears to be a door. The team enters the room. There are two other exits, one being closed. A large monitor with a keyboard of various symbols sits in the corner. Dr. Beale goes to touch the creature. Voyich: I wouldn’t touch that if I were you. Agents Troy and Bell spin toward the man, an average sized man in a cosmonaut suit. He appears to be of Ukrainian descent. Both agents have pointed their guns. Troy: Who the hell are you? Voyich: I am Colonel Aleksandr Voyich, but I should be asking you that question. I’ve only ever seen my comrades in this place. Dr. Beale slowly steps in front of the agents. Beale: My name is Dr. Regina Beale. I’m a Researcher with the SCP Foundation. We came to investigate a transmission. Did you send it? Voyich: I have been sending transmissions for what feels like ages. I thought my comrades would pick it up. But I will not complain. Beale: Are there more of you? Voyich: Yes. Wait here. Smirnov! Kuznetsov! Help has arrived! Voyich runs down the hall. GRU Division “P” Memo – 4 July 1969 (translated) -Access Granted Dear President Brezhnev, On 3 July, at 3:00pm Moscow time, we launched the Volstok 7, manned with seven of our finest cosmonauts. Thanks to the use of [DATA EXPUNGED], we were able to get the seven-man crew among the stars within minutes. However, we suffered a technical error with the crew. The navigation system directed them past the moon and out of our radio communications’ broadcast length. We have been unable to reestablish contact. The scientists called it – we have lost them. We do not know where they have landed. Or if they will land. As directed, we have kept the details of this mission from the public. We will await your further instructions. Video Log Part 3 -Access Granted Voyich returns with two men. Smirnov is taller and of Soviet descent, while Kuznetsov is of average height and build. Voyich: These men are Vladamir Smirnov and Anatoly Kuznetsov. They’re what remains of the crew. Yaltz: What happened to the rest of the men? Smirnov: Some… walked away… never return. Others vanish… while we sleep. Yaltz: When did you guys launch? Smirnov: Fourth of July, nineteen-sixty-nine. The team exchanges glances with each other. Beale: Whatever took your men might still be here. We should leave. Lyons: Not yet. Beale: What? Dr. Lyons approaches the monitor. Lyons: There may be some information we can get from this. Are any of you familiar with these computers? Smirnov: Kuznetsov, [speaks Russian]. Kuznetsov approaches the monitor and exposes some wires. After a few moments, the monitor beeps to life. Voyich: Perhaps we should be going? Lyons: Are you kidding? We’re getting close to answers! This whole ship must be powered by solar energy. At least as a back-up. Dr. Lyons slowly works her way through the computer. Yaltz takes pictures. Lyons: This is all in Ortrothan, so I can’t read much. There are maps in here. Seems they came from another galaxy. And they were invading, but it looks like… looks like they were running from something. Troy: Oh, good. The scary aliens were running from something scarier. Seems you’re just turning up more questions, doc. Lyons: We might get more answers behind that door. Agent Bell, open that door for me? Dr. Lyons hands Agent Bell the key. He approaches the door. Beale: I thought we were leaving after this? Lyons: We are. I just want to look very quickly. Voyich: I don’t know if that’s a good- Agent Bell opens the door. A partially decomposed human corpse drops through. Bell: Body! Human body! Dr. Beale and Smirnov approach. Smirnov: That… uniform. Is… ours. Voyich: Whatever did this might be here now. We should leave! Bell: He’s got a tag on him! Kuznetsov: Aleksy? Sergei? Bell: It says, “Voyich”. The team turns to Voyich, who is staring at the ground. “Voyich”: You just had to look, didn’t you? Multiple black rods shoot from Voyich’s body. Two from his chest, three from his back, two from his right hip. Kuznetsov is stabbed through the eye and drops. Agent Bell is stabbed through the heart. Life signs terminated quickly. Dr. Beale and Smirnov drop to the floor and narrowly avoid the attack. Agent Troy pulls Yaltz to the ground. Dr. Lyons is stabbed in the leg. “Voyich”: I said we should leave! That thing could be in here! Well, guess what? I am! And I’m pissed! Voyich grabs Kuznetsov by the neck, who whimpers and struggles to breathe. “Voyich”: I’ll give you this, “comrade”. You guys were the most fun I’ve had in hundreds of thousands of cycles. Last thing before that, these guys sent me to destroy a planet. The violence, Kuznetsov. The mind games. Oh, that was art. Before you guys, all I had were corpses. Voyich snaps Kuznetsov’s neck. “Voyich”: But now I can leave this place. I have no use for you anymore. Voyich approaches Dr. Lyons. As he is focused on her, the others back away. “Voyich”: Dr. Lyons, was it? Oh, I’m going to have fun with you. Lyons: All of you, run! Lyons pulls out her gun. Yaltz: Dr. Lyons! Agent Troy grabs Yaltz and pulls him away. Smirnov follows them. Dr. Beale stays by the door. “Voyich”: What does that thing do? Shoot metal? That won’t stop me. Lyons: Then get out of the way! Dr. Lyons shoots the control pad on the door. It slams shut. Another shot is heard, followed by the sound of depressurization. Dr. Beale continues to stand at the door. Troy: Dr. Beale! She bought us some time! We need to move! She follows. The team arrives back at the hangar. Yaltz: That thing knows where we came from. If it's survived this long, it'll probably get out of there. Can we close the door? Troy: I think Bell had the key. Beale: Shit. She looks at the ship. Beale: Then we blow the hangar to kingdom come. You guys go. Yaltz: No, I’ll stay. You go. Beale: Yaltz, I admire the resolve, but as of now, I’m the leader. I won’t leave you here with no way out. Yaltz: Have you read my file, Dr. Beale? Beale: What does your personnel file have to do with this? Yaltz: No, my special containment procedures file. Troy: Thomas… Yaltz: I’m SCP-507. Beale: The teleporting kid? Yaltz: I’m twenty-six at this point, but yeah. If I stay, I’ll teleport off this thing eventually and get back home. Beale: Then we’ll all stay. Yaltz: You have an anomalous subject with you. I think they’d understand it if you left. I’ve been handling weird shit since I was born, ma’am. I’ll be okay. Troy: And I’ll stay with him. I’m your handler, kid. You don’t get a say. Beale: If you’re doing this, she stays. Yaltz opens his mouth, then closes it and nods. Dr. Beale and Smirnov suit up and return through SCP-5775-1. Yaltz and Agent Troy, also suited up, board the smaller ship. Yaltz: To kingdom come? Troy: To kingdom come. After-Action Report: SCP-5775 Expedition IV Following the events of Expedition IV, a large explosion was detected from SCP-5775. Three life signatures and numerous piles of debris emerged through SCP-5775-1. The explosion was explained as a meteor strike. Dr. Regina Beale was promoted to Head Researcher of SCP-5775, while Dr. Naomi Lyons and Agent Johnathan Bell were posthumously honored. Vladamir Smirnov was designated SCP-5775-A. Junior Researcher Thomas Yaltz and Agent Helen Troy were discovered in Waco, Texas nine days later, with non-threatening injuries. Translations from SCP-5775: Expedition IV -Access Granted The Walls: Help us. They are killing us. We did not want this. Is this our punishment? May the gods be merciful. The Computer: After much searching, we have found their origin point. We have sent a team and discovered there is another species, similar in intellect but far less advanced. We are sending an operative, Odd Entity-777, to instill chaos and hopefully topple our enemies. We have seen your play. We have lost our homeworld, but we will still hold on to our other worlds. You will pay for your actions. Fear the Empire of the Big Foot Footnotes 1.

The room appears to be a hanger, with a single ship, inoperable save for guns attached to the front, being present. The exterior wall, when walked through, returns a subject to SCP-5775-1. The room is sealed with a door of similar material that has so far been unable to be damaged and has hindered the first three expeditions. However, development on a key to hack into the systems of SCP-5775 has been ongoing. Incident Report ██-██-████: The following transmission was received from SCP-5775 and picked up on dead channels of GRU Division “P”. We have been waiting. Help us. Internal Memo, Junior Researcher Thomas Yaltz to Head Researcher Naomi Lyons So, I heard we’re going on another expedition. That’s exciting! I also heard you were looking to bring a Junior Researcher. I was hoping you would pick me. I’m sure the site director has given you some details on my history, so I may seem like a bit of a gamble. But I like to think of it more as experience that can help me in the field. Not to mention, between the 3008 incident and every time I’ve taken lead on the research with the stuff we have gotten from 5775, I think I’m as qualified as someone of my position can be. Plus, I'm very observant. I have all sorts of questions. Who sent this message? Why now? Why is it in English? I hope you consider me for the expedition. SCP-5775 Expedition IV FOR LEVEL 3 ONLY Following the transmission from SCP-5775, Head Researcher Dr. Naomi Lyons requested a team to investigate, citing the prototype of a key able to open the doorway from the hangar. After discussions with the Site Director and O5 Council, the following team was gathered: • Dr. Naomi Lyons, Head Researcher (56) • Dr. Regina Beale, Researcher (45) • Junior Researcher Thomas Yaltz (26) • Agent Helen Troy (39)1 • Agent Jonathan Bell (31) Agents Bell and Troy were outfitted with cameras, while Dr. Beale was designated to take written notes and Junior Researcher Yaltz to take photographs. Video Log Part 1 -Access Granted The team has used SCP-5775-1 to arrive in the hangar. Bell: And we’re rolling. Journey to the Martian Moons, Scene 7, Take 4, Mar- Lyons: Stop it. Bell quiets. Beale approaches Lyons. Beale: Are we walking into a trap? Lyons: Most likely. Beale: So what are we doing here? Lyons: Just because it’s a trap doesn’t mean we have nothing to gain from it. The team approaches the door. Troy pulls Yaltz aside. Troy: Are you gonna be alright, kid? You’re overdue for a shift. Yaltz: Yeah, I’ll be fine. I've seen worse. And I mean, you’re here to protect me, right? Since it’s your job? Troy: Today was supposed to be my day off. Yaltz: Oh, uh… Troy: Kidding. Come on. They rejoin the team. Dr. Lyons pulls the key, a black card, from her pocket and scans it against the door. The door slowly slides open. The hallway it opens to is empty and seemingly abandoned. It is three meters tall. Lyons: Shall we? They move through the hall. Beale: There’s writing on the walls. Look. Yaltz looks, then shields his eyes. Yaltz: Shit, is it memetic? Beale: I don’t think so. I think it’s Ortrothan. Don’t suppose any of you can speak it. The team moves on. More writing is discovered on the walls. Later analysis shows the writings roughly translate to “Help” and “Mercy”. The team enters a large chamber. Notes from Dr. Regina Beale during Expedition IV of SCP-5775 -Access Granted The size of the chamber was the first thing that stood out to me. It wasn’t really that it was tall, but the architecture of the rest of the room with the hallway suggested it was of average size for whatever species roamed here. Not human. Another thing that popped out about the chamber were the six cells surrounding us. The doors were flung open and emptied. Still, we all picked one to analyze. Bell seemed to almost hope a monster would leap out at us. Lyons focused on the central pillar. I followed her eyeline. Above us was what seemed to be a keyboard and a monitor. We didn’t bring any equipment to climb up there, but there was a piece of paper we managed to knock down. The texture suggested something other than paper, but the details were the same- some kind of map. Dr. Lyons has some experience with rockets and spacecrafts. She pointed out what seemed to be a launch site for this thing. Other geographic details lined up with the Martian surface below us. This craft is definitely designed for war, but Yaltz pointed out the cells were more like something the Foundation would have for study. Bright side? The architecture isn’t randomly shifting like Site-13, so… there’s that. Video Log Part 2 -Access Granted The team moves on from the chamber and through the halls. As they round a corner, Agent Troy encounters a body on the floor. The subject appears to be roughly 2 meters tall, with a physical similarity to a praying mantis. Troy: Fucking hell! Back! She pushes the team back. Dr. Lyons looks over her. Lyons: I think it’s dead, Agent Troy. Agent Troy relaxes. Dr. Lyons and Dr. Beale approach the subject. Beale: I think we found what operated those computers. Lyons: And what killed it. Look. Lyons flips the body over. It displays a curved bullet wound, winding through the area designated its hip and out of its neck. Beale: That ain’t right. Yaltz raises his camera. Troy: Thomas! Yaltz: It’s for research! He snaps a picture. Dr. Lyons takes out a pair of pliers and removes a bullet/fly-hybrid from the creature’s neck. Yaltz: Is that a fly? Lyons: It’s been modified. Bio-organic technology. This “fly” was fired. Yaltz: From a gun? That’s so cool! Everyone looks at Junior Researcher Yaltz. Yaltz: Sorry. Agent Troy pats his shoulder. Bell: Hey, what’s that? Agent Bell points further down the hall to a room. Inside, a deceased pterodactyl-like creature is seen crashed through the hull of the ship. On the side of the creature appears to be a door. The team enters the room. There are two other exits, one being closed. A large monitor with a keyboard of various symbols sits in the corner. Dr. Beale goes to touch the creature. Voyich: I wouldn’t touch that if I were you. Agents Troy and Bell spin toward the man, an average sized man in a cosmonaut suit. He appears to be of Ukrainian descent. Both agents have pointed their guns. Troy: Who the hell are you? Voyich: I am Colonel Aleksandr Voyich, but I should be asking you that question. I’ve only ever seen my comrades in this place. Dr. Beale slowly steps in front of the agents. Beale: My name is Dr. Regina Beale. I’m a Researcher with the SCP Foundation. We came to investigate a transmission. Did you send it? Voyich: I have been sending transmissions for what feels like ages. I thought my comrades would pick it up. But I will not complain. Beale: Are there more of you? Voyich: Yes. Wait here. Smirnov! Kuznetsov! Help has arrived! Voyich runs down the hall. GRU Division “P” Memo – 4 July 1969 (translated) -Access Granted Dear President Brezhnev, On 3 July, at 3:00pm Moscow time, we launched the Volstok 7, manned with seven of our finest cosmonauts. Thanks to the use of [DATA EXPUNGED], we were able to get the seven-man crew among the stars within minutes. However, we suffered a technical error with the crew. The navigation system directed them past the moon and out of our radio communications’ broadcast length. We have been unable to reestablish contact. The scientists called it – we have lost them. We do not know where they have landed. Or if they will land. As directed, we have kept the details of this mission from the public. We will await your further instructions. Video Log Part 3 -Access Granted Voyich returns with two men. Smirnov is taller and of Soviet descent, while Kuznetsov is of average height and build. Voyich: These men are Vladamir Smirnov and Anatoly Kuznetsov. They’re what remains of the crew. Yaltz: What happened to the rest of the men? Smirnov: Some… walked away… never return. Others vanish… while we sleep. Yaltz: When did you guys launch? Smirnov: Fourth of July, nineteen-sixty-nine. The team exchanges glances with each other. Beale: Whatever took your men might still be here. We should leave. Lyons: Not yet. Beale: What? Dr. Lyons approaches the monitor. Lyons: There may be some information we can get from this. Are any of you familiar with these computers? Smirnov: Kuznetsov, [speaks Russian]. Kuznetsov approaches the monitor and exposes some wires. After a few moments, the monitor beeps to life. Voyich: Perhaps we should be going? Lyons: Are you kidding? We’re getting close to answers! This whole ship must be powered by solar energy. At least as a back-up. Dr. Lyons slowly works her way through the computer. Yaltz takes pictures. Lyons: This is all in Ortrothan, so I can’t read much. There are maps in here. Seems they came from another galaxy. And they were invading, but it looks like… looks like they were running from something. Troy: Oh, good. The scary aliens were running from something scarier. Seems you’re just turning up more questions, doc. Lyons: We might get more answers behind that door. Agent Bell, open that door for me? Dr. Lyons hands Agent Bell the key. He approaches the door. Beale: I thought we were leaving after this? Lyons: We are. I just want to look very quickly. Voyich: I don’t know if that’s a good- Agent Bell opens the door. A partially decomposed human corpse drops through. Bell: Body! Human body! Dr. Beale and Smirnov approach. Smirnov: That… uniform. Is… ours. Voyich: Whatever did this might be here now. We should leave! Bell: He’s got a tag on him! Kuznetsov: Aleksy? Sergei? Bell: It says, “Voyich”. The team turns to Voyich, who is staring at the ground. “Voyich”: You just had to look, didn’t you? Multiple black rods shoot from Voyich’s body. Two from his chest, three from his back, two from his right hip. Kuznetsov is stabbed through the eye and drops. Agent Bell is stabbed through the heart. Life signs terminated quickly. Dr. Beale and Smirnov drop to the floor and narrowly avoid the attack. Agent Troy pulls Yaltz to the ground. Dr. Lyons is stabbed in the leg. “Voyich”: I said we should leave! That thing could be in here! Well, guess what? I am! And I’m pissed! Voyich grabs Kuznetsov by the neck, who whimpers and struggles to breathe. “Voyich”: I’ll give you this, “comrade”. You guys were the most fun I’ve had in hundreds of thousands of cycles. Last thing before that, these guys sent me to destroy a planet. The violence, Kuznetsov. The mind games. Oh, that was art. Before you guys, all I had were corpses. Voyich snaps Kuznetsov’s neck. “Voyich”: But now I can leave this place. I have no use for you anymore. Voyich approaches Dr. Lyons. As he is focused on her, the others back away. “Voyich”: Dr. Lyons, was it? Oh, I’m going to have fun with you. Lyons: All of you, run! Lyons pulls out her gun. Yaltz: Dr. Lyons! Agent Troy grabs Yaltz and pulls him away. Smirnov follows them. Dr. Beale stays by the door. “Voyich”: What does that thing do? Shoot metal? That won’t stop me. Lyons: Then get out of the way! Dr. Lyons shoots the control pad on the door. It slams shut. Another shot is heard, followed by the sound of depressurization. Dr. Beale continues to stand at the door. Troy: Dr. Beale! She bought us some time! We need to move! She follows. The team arrives back at the hangar. Yaltz: That thing knows where we came from. If it's survived this long, it'll probably get out of there. Can we close the door? Troy: I think Bell had the key. Beale: Shit. She looks at the ship. Beale: Then we blow the hangar to kingdom come. You guys go. Yaltz: No, I’ll stay. You go. Beale: Yaltz, I admire the resolve, but as of now, I’m the leader. I won’t leave you here with no way out. Yaltz: Have you read my file, Dr. Beale? Beale: What does your personnel file have to do with this? Yaltz: No, my special containment procedures file. Troy: Thomas… Yaltz: I’m SCP-507. Beale: The teleporting kid? Yaltz: I’m twenty-six at this point, but yeah. If I stay, I’ll teleport off this thing eventually and get back home. Beale: Then we’ll all stay. Yaltz: You have an anomalous subject with you. I think they’d understand it if you left. I’ve been handling weird shit since I was born, ma’am. I’ll be okay. Troy: And I’ll stay with him. I’m your handler, kid. You don’t get a say. Beale: If you’re doing this, she stays. Yaltz opens his mouth, then closes it and nods. Dr. Beale and Smirnov suit up and return through SCP-5775-1. Yaltz and Agent Troy, also suited up, board the smaller ship. Yaltz: To kingdom come? Troy: To kingdom come. After-Action Report: SCP-5775 Expedition IV Following the events of Expedition IV, a large explosion was detected from SCP-5775. Three life signatures and numerous piles of debris emerged through SCP-5775-1. The explosion was explained as a meteor strike. Dr. Regina Beale was promoted to Head Researcher of SCP-5775, while Dr. Naomi Lyons and Agent Johnathan Bell were posthumously honored. Vladamir Smirnov was designated SCP-5775-A. Junior Researcher Thomas Yaltz and Agent Helen Troy were discovered in Waco, Texas nine days later, with non-threatening injuries. Translations from SCP-5775: Expedition IV -Access Granted The Walls: Help us. They are killing us. We did not want this. Is this our punishment? May the gods be merciful. The Computer: After much searching, we have found their origin point. We have sent a team and discovered there is another species, similar in intellect but far less advanced. We are sending an operative, Odd Entity-777, to instill chaos and hopefully topple our enemies. We have seen your play. We have lost our homeworld, but we will still hold on to our other worlds. You will pay for your actions. Fear the Empire of the Big Foot Footnotes 1.

SCP-5776 | safe | WARNING The following file describes a highly infohazardous entity. Please proceed with caution. Item#: 5776 Level5 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: amida Risk Class: critical link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5776 is currently housed in a classified large containment cell in Site-19. A reality anchoring device must be kept inside the cell, attached to SCP-5776 at all times. If it is for any reason to breach containment, its recapture is to be of alpha priority and all expendable resources must be spent to resecure containment and prevent an XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario. If it cannot be recontained, then SCP-5776 must be left to roam the planet, as interfering is likely to further anger it. It really wants to destroy everything! Description: SCP-5776 is an extremely powerful entity capable of causing devastating amounts of destruction to human civilisation. Pretty terrifying if I say so myself. It seems SCP-5776’s primary goal is to destroy everything it can and seemingly nothing is able to prevent it completing this goal if it is not contained, so we need to make sure it doesn’t get out 0_0. Despite what you may be told, it is 100% not a common food product. SCP-5776 is absolutely capable of drastically altering its shape, mass and even cellular or genetic makeup. Due to this ability, its primary objective can be carried out swiftly and effectively, making it extremely important that containment is not lost. It is believed that the entity is capable of causing humanity’s extinction in a matter of days or even hours if it is able to escape. SCP-5776 appears extremely eager to escape custody, expressing heightened frustration to the Foundation, claiming it will destroy us first.1 Despite a reality anchoring device being attached directly to SCP-5776 at all times, it still is able to carry out its shape-shifting abilities to a limited degree (which is annoying, almost as much as being locked up). The following is a list of all forms SCP-5776 has taken while in secure containment, in order of when SCP-5776 initially materialised as them. SCP-5776 prior to containment. As you can see, it is horrifyingly scary. . An unknown large beast . An unknown winged scorpion . SCP-███ . SCP-███ . SCP-████ . Doctor [REDACTED] . O5-█ . SCP-███ . A giant amorphous entity . A small, white cylinder, not a small edible product (current form) Notably, when SCP-5776 alters appearance, including into other anomalies, it gains the item or entity’s abilities, though these effects can be dampened by a reality anchoring device. This further makes it an immensely powerful entity, so SCP-5776 must not gain knowledge of any other anomalies that are presently contained by the Foundation or any other groups of interest otherwise it will destroy everything! + Show Recovery Log 5776 - Hide Recovery Log 5776 This file has been removed by order of 05-█ because it was too scary. SCP-5776 is capable of communicating with researchers depending on its current form. Due to this, attempts have been made to reason with SCP-5776 and have a conversation with it.

SCP-5777 | euclid | The anomaly described in this file is Neutralized. Its former documentation is archived below. Item №: SCP-5777 The SCP-5777 settlement, as seen at midday. Click to enlarge. Special Containment Procedures: An electric fence has been built around the territory containing SCP-5777. Trespassers are to be captured (by non-lethal means if possible), amnesticized, and released. For their own safety, personnel must stay at least 50 meters away from the center of the SCP-5777 settlement. Description: SCP-5777 is a group of 8 16 approximately 96 humanoid entities located near Kennedys Bush, New Zealand. The entities range from 1.3 to 1.7 meters tall, and have blue skin and blond or red hair. They are nocturnal; their settlements and artifacts emerge spontaneously during dusk and disappear during dawn. They can coordinate and use tools, are capable of fluent speech (in English and Māori), and have mild ontokinetic abilities. It is believed that the patupaiarehe (fairies) of Māori folklore correspond to SCP-5777. In November 1998, security personnel observed an uptick in SCP-5777 activity. Neighboring civilians have filed noise complaints, and a majority of the trees in the area have been chopped down. Dr Linda Fourier was sent to investigate. Interview Log 5777-1 1998-11-09 Interviewer: Dr Linda Fourier Interviewed: SCP-5777-1, SCP-5777-2, SCP-5777-3 Fourier: Hello, I'm— [SCP-5777-1 advances; this startles Fourier, who raises her hands in defense. It takes this opportunity to grab Fourier's right hand and shake it vigorously.] SCP-5777-1: Hellohellohello! So good to see you today. This is Ana, Te Ao, and I'm Kauri, and your name is? Fourier: Dr Fourier— SCP-5777-1: Doctor Fourier! I could see by the way you charged in just now that you're a learned woman, a lady of science, who's come all the way to our humble office to— [SCP-5777-1 pauses its shaking, giving Fourier the opportunity to pull her hand out of its grasp.] SCP-5777-1: —invest? Fourier: Actually, I was going to ask what you were doing— SCP-5777-1: Always happy to answer! Dr Fourier, we're making a startup. Kereru. Dot com. Fourier: Okay. [Pauses to take notes.] So what does Kereru, uh, dot com, create? SCP-5777-1: Oh, you know… the usual. Disrupting the market with our secret sauce. Building tomorrow, today. Synergy. It's a paradigm shift—we have to take it to the next level, strike while the iron is hot. Fourier: … I see. [SCP-5777-2 barges in, pushing SCP-5777-1 to the side.] SCP-5777-2: Kauri, you're scaring her. Fourier: No, no, it's— SCP-5777-2: Sorry about that. I'm sure that as a woman of science, you would be more interested in the technical side of our business. Rest assured that we use only the hottest technologies on the market, including… [SCP-5777-2 clears its throat.] SCP-5777-2: … isomorphic1 NodeJS2 microservices3 in the cloud,4 functorial intelligence5 in the Internet of Things.6 It's big data, it's web scale, it's… it's… [SCP-5777-3 bursts out from between -1 and -2.] SCP-5777-3: Blockchain.7 Observation Log 5777-1 1998-11-09 – 1999-03-04 In the center of the settlement, the SCP-5777 entities have formed a stack of woven flax sheets. When a sheet is removed, reality in a ~ 25 meter radius is reset to the time when the sheet was added to the pile. This effect includes the SCP-5777 themselves, who have often been duplicated or destroyed through its activation. The SCP-5777 entities dig a shallow pit and fill it with wooden planks and sticks, in an apparent attempt to light a fire. After a few tries, they succeed; they scream and scatter from the pit, leaving the fire behind. The SCP-5777 instances tear down the whakairo8 ornaments from their homes and throw them into the fire. They mount depictions of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Whoopi Goldberg in their place. Interview Log 5777-2 1999-03-04 Interviewer: Dr Linda Fourier Interviewed: SCP-5777-1, SCP-5777-2, SCP-5777-3 Fourier: How's it going today? SCP-5777-2: Very well. Our decentralized monolith architecture has allowed us to scale to the next billion users with six nines. SCP-5777-1: Sounds great, Ana! Bill Gates would be proud of you. SCP-5777-2: [Smiles.] Thank you. Fourier: Bill Gates? SCP-5777-1: Oh, he's one of the people we look up to. You know, like Robert Levitan9 or Greg McLemore10 or Michael Fenne11— SCP-5777-3: Heroes. SCP-5777-1: —all pioneers, pushing the envelope in their own way. Fourier: I see. SCP-5777-1: And one day, it'll be our names on that list as well. [SCP-5777-1 turns around to face the other SCP-5777 entities.] SCP-5777-1: Isn't that right, everyone!? [The SCP-5777 entities raise their hands and yell in acknowledgement. SCP-5777-1 turns back around, and grins.] SCP-5777-1: That's the spirit. Observation Log 5777-2 1999-03-04 – 1999-11-19 The SCP-5777 entities, led by SCP-5777-2, begin to construct a wooden tower over the fire pit. As expected, it starts to burn; however, rather than attempting to put out the fire, SCP-5777-2 commands them to build further. Eventually, the structure collapses and the entities all disappear into the pit. The next night, the SCP-5777 entities emerge from the surrounding bush—apparently unharmed. They restart construction in the same location as before. The SCP-5777 entities perform a haka,12 while repeating the word "developers" ad nauseum. Through trial and error, the SCP-5777 entities have learned to use the flax sheets to create more of themselves. There are now 16 instances of SCP-5777. Interview Log 5777-3 1999-11-19 Interviewer: Dr Linda Fourier Interviewed: SCP-5777-1, SCP-5777-3 Fourier: Can I ask you guys a question? SCP-5777-1: [Smirks.] That's all you do, but sure. Go for it. Fourier: Why did you decide to start a tech company? I'm sure there are many other things you could have done instead. SCP-5777-1: Well… you've been watching us the whole time right? Fourier: That would be the case, yes. SCP-5777-1: So you've seen how much we've changed. From some backwater village in the middle of nowhere, to— [SCP-5777-1 gestures wildly at the settlement behind it.] SCP-5777-1: —I mean, look at them! The smiles, the energy, it's an absolute three-sixty turnaround. And Ana… [SCP-5777-1 sighs.] SCP-5777-1: She used to spend all night, lying in bed, just… waiting for the sun to come up, you know? Fourier: I'm sorry to hear that. SCP-5777-1: Me too, doctor, me too. But now? She's pacing around, like, computer this, and computer that, and… SCP-5777-3: Hope. SCP-5777-1: That's a good word, yeah. Hope. That's what we have now. Observation Log 5777-3 1999-11-19 – 2000-05-20 The SCP-5777 entities realize that they cannot continue building the tower upward, as the space is obstructed by an overhanging cliff. SCP-5777-1 and SCP-5777-2 spend the next hour arguing over what to do next, before SCP-5777-3—unbeknownst to the others—pushes the whole structure out from under the overhang. Miraculously, the tower remains standing. The argument stops, and the entities resume construction. A growing number of SCP-5777 entities have been dying in occupational accidents. This effect has caused the SCP-5777 population to stabilize at ~ 96. Interview Log 5777-4 2000-05-20 Interviewer: Dr Linda Fourier Interviewed: SCP-5777-2 Fourier: Hi, Ana! It's been a while since I've talked to you— SCP-5777-2: Yes, I've been busy. [Silence.] Fourier: Is everything all right? SCP-5777-2: Yes, everything is all right.

Observation Log 5777-4 2000-05-20 – 2000-09-25 A group of five SCP-5777 entities suddenly stop work, lay down their tools, and gather in the center of the settlement. A brief silence passes before one of the entities bends over, its head oriented upward, and begins to rhythmically pull the straps on its shoes while yelling: "Haere! Haere! Haere!"13 The other four entities follow, pulling and yelling, and soon the group would lift off the ground and disappear into the night sky. The remaining instances do not react to this incident. The remaining SCP-5777 entities complete the tower. They gather around the structure and rejoice through song and dance. During the celebration, a juvenile SCP-5777 instance inadvertently runs into a wooden post, dislodging it and causing the tower to collapse. Interview Log 5777-5 2000-09-25 Interviewer: Dr Linda Fourier Interviewed: SCP-5777-1, SCP-5777-3 Fourier: You look a bit wary today. SCP-5777-3: No. [Silence.] Fourier: Are you okay? SCP-5777-1: Yeah, yeah, we're fine, I mean we've lost our top engineers, and Ana just disappeared off the face of the earth, but, but— [SCP-5777-3 grabs SCP-5777-1 by the shoulders.] SCP-5777-3: Stop. [SCP-5777-1 pauses; it closes its eyes and takes a deep breath.] SCP-5777-1: Thanks, Te Ao. But yeah, doctor, it's all good. We've still got a million and a half in cash. We'll pull through. We have to. Observation Log 5777-5 2000-11-09 The tower catches fire. It collapses; due to its excessive height, it falls outward and spreads the fire to surrounding bush. The SCP-5777 entities panic and run around the settlement, further propagating the blaze. Eventually, the fire reaches the stack of flax sheets, which bursts into a column of flame. As the flax burns, the SCP-5777 instances and their artifacts warp and stretch—causing the entities great distress—before disappearing altogether. By dawn, the flax has burned completely; its ash is the only remaining evidence of SCP-5777. Neutralized classification pending. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5777 | neutralized | The anomaly described in this file is Neutralized. Its former documentation is archived below. Item №: SCP-5777 The SCP-5777 settlement, as seen at midday. Click to enlarge. Special Containment Procedures: An electric fence has been built around the territory containing SCP-5777. Trespassers are to be captured (by non-lethal means if possible), amnesticized, and released. For their own safety, personnel must stay at least 50 meters away from the center of the SCP-5777 settlement. Description: SCP-5777 is a group of 8 16 approximately 96 humanoid entities located near Kennedys Bush, New Zealand. The entities range from 1.3 to 1.7 meters tall, and have blue skin and blond or red hair. They are nocturnal; their settlements and artifacts emerge spontaneously during dusk and disappear during dawn. They can coordinate and use tools, are capable of fluent speech (in English and Māori), and have mild ontokinetic abilities. It is believed that the patupaiarehe (fairies) of Māori folklore correspond to SCP-5777. In November 1998, security personnel observed an uptick in SCP-5777 activity. Neighboring civilians have filed noise complaints, and a majority of the trees in the area have been chopped down. Dr Linda Fourier was sent to investigate. Interview Log 5777-1 1998-11-09 Interviewer: Dr Linda Fourier Interviewed: SCP-5777-1, SCP-5777-2, SCP-5777-3 Fourier: Hello, I'm— [SCP-5777-1 advances; this startles Fourier, who raises her hands in defense. It takes this opportunity to grab Fourier's right hand and shake it vigorously.] SCP-5777-1: Hellohellohello! So good to see you today. This is Ana, Te Ao, and I'm Kauri, and your name is? Fourier: Dr Fourier— SCP-5777-1: Doctor Fourier! I could see by the way you charged in just now that you're a learned woman, a lady of science, who's come all the way to our humble office to— [SCP-5777-1 pauses its shaking, giving Fourier the opportunity to pull her hand out of its grasp.] SCP-5777-1: —invest? Fourier: Actually, I was going to ask what you were doing— SCP-5777-1: Always happy to answer! Dr Fourier, we're making a startup. Kereru. Dot com. Fourier: Okay. [Pauses to take notes.] So what does Kereru, uh, dot com, create? SCP-5777-1: Oh, you know… the usual. Disrupting the market with our secret sauce. Building tomorrow, today. Synergy. It's a paradigm shift—we have to take it to the next level, strike while the iron is hot. Fourier: … I see. [SCP-5777-2 barges in, pushing SCP-5777-1 to the side.] SCP-5777-2: Kauri, you're scaring her. Fourier: No, no, it's— SCP-5777-2: Sorry about that. I'm sure that as a woman of science, you would be more interested in the technical side of our business. Rest assured that we use only the hottest technologies on the market, including… [SCP-5777-2 clears its throat.] SCP-5777-2: … isomorphic1 NodeJS2 microservices3 in the cloud,4 functorial intelligence5 in the Internet of Things.6 It's big data, it's web scale, it's… it's… [SCP-5777-3 bursts out from between -1 and -2.] SCP-5777-3: Blockchain.7 Observation Log 5777-1 1998-11-09 – 1999-03-04 In the center of the settlement, the SCP-5777 entities have formed a stack of woven flax sheets. When a sheet is removed, reality in a ~ 25 meter radius is reset to the time when the sheet was added to the pile. This effect includes the SCP-5777 themselves, who have often been duplicated or destroyed through its activation. The SCP-5777 entities dig a shallow pit and fill it with wooden planks and sticks, in an apparent attempt to light a fire. After a few tries, they succeed; they scream and scatter from the pit, leaving the fire behind. The SCP-5777 instances tear down the whakairo8 ornaments from their homes and throw them into the fire. They mount depictions of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Whoopi Goldberg in their place. Interview Log 5777-2 1999-03-04 Interviewer: Dr Linda Fourier Interviewed: SCP-5777-1, SCP-5777-2, SCP-5777-3 Fourier: How's it going today? SCP-5777-2: Very well. Our decentralized monolith architecture has allowed us to scale to the next billion users with six nines. SCP-5777-1: Sounds great, Ana! Bill Gates would be proud of you. SCP-5777-2: [Smiles.] Thank you. Fourier: Bill Gates? SCP-5777-1: Oh, he's one of the people we look up to. You know, like Robert Levitan9 or Greg McLemore10 or Michael Fenne11— SCP-5777-3: Heroes. SCP-5777-1: —all pioneers, pushing the envelope in their own way. Fourier: I see. SCP-5777-1: And one day, it'll be our names on that list as well. [SCP-5777-1 turns around to face the other SCP-5777 entities.] SCP-5777-1: Isn't that right, everyone!? [The SCP-5777 entities raise their hands and yell in acknowledgement. SCP-5777-1 turns back around, and grins.] SCP-5777-1: That's the spirit. Observation Log 5777-2 1999-03-04 – 1999-11-19 The SCP-5777 entities, led by SCP-5777-2, begin to construct a wooden tower over the fire pit. As expected, it starts to burn; however, rather than attempting to put out the fire, SCP-5777-2 commands them to build further. Eventually, the structure collapses and the entities all disappear into the pit. The next night, the SCP-5777 entities emerge from the surrounding bush—apparently unharmed. They restart construction in the same location as before. The SCP-5777 entities perform a haka,12 while repeating the word "developers" ad nauseum. Through trial and error, the SCP-5777 entities have learned to use the flax sheets to create more of themselves. There are now 16 instances of SCP-5777. Interview Log 5777-3 1999-11-19 Interviewer: Dr Linda Fourier Interviewed: SCP-5777-1, SCP-5777-3 Fourier: Can I ask you guys a question? SCP-5777-1: [Smirks.] That's all you do, but sure. Go for it. Fourier: Why did you decide to start a tech company? I'm sure there are many other things you could have done instead. SCP-5777-1: Well… you've been watching us the whole time right? Fourier: That would be the case, yes. SCP-5777-1: So you've seen how much we've changed. From some backwater village in the middle of nowhere, to— [SCP-5777-1 gestures wildly at the settlement behind it.] SCP-5777-1: —I mean, look at them! The smiles, the energy, it's an absolute three-sixty turnaround. And Ana… [SCP-5777-1 sighs.] SCP-5777-1: She used to spend all night, lying in bed, just… waiting for the sun to come up, you know? Fourier: I'm sorry to hear that. SCP-5777-1: Me too, doctor, me too. But now? She's pacing around, like, computer this, and computer that, and… SCP-5777-3: Hope. SCP-5777-1: That's a good word, yeah. Hope. That's what we have now. Observation Log 5777-3 1999-11-19 – 2000-05-20 The SCP-5777 entities realize that they cannot continue building the tower upward, as the space is obstructed by an overhanging cliff. SCP-5777-1 and SCP-5777-2 spend the next hour arguing over what to do next, before SCP-5777-3—unbeknownst to the others—pushes the whole structure out from under the overhang. Miraculously, the tower remains standing. The argument stops, and the entities resume construction. A growing number of SCP-5777 entities have been dying in occupational accidents. This effect has caused the SCP-5777 population to stabilize at ~ 96. Interview Log 5777-4 2000-05-20 Interviewer: Dr Linda Fourier Interviewed: SCP-5777-2 Fourier: Hi, Ana! It's been a while since I've talked to you— SCP-5777-2: Yes, I've been busy. [Silence.] Fourier: Is everything all right? SCP-5777-2: Yes, everything is all right. [Silence.] SCP-5777-2: We will— [Silence.] Fourier: If you're feeling uncomfortable— SCP-5777-2: We will succeed. [Silence.] SCP-5777-2: March 13.

Special Containment Procedures: The records of all SCP-5778 motion sensor activations are automatically logged on a secure data terminal in the Armed Site-21 operations center, regardless of severity. In addition, a log is to be maintained of the locations of all known SCP-5778-A instances and the symbol required to access them, classified to personnel with less than Level 4 security clearance. All current entranceways to SCP-5778-B from SCP-5778-A are protected by electrostatic tesla gate emplacements, motion-activated defensive weaponry, and motion-triggered antipersonnel mines. These emplacements are set to automatically activate and terminate any hostile entities without a Foundation IFF transponder. Any situation in which hostile entities breach the second layer of defenses constitutes a breach of containment. Given SCP-5778's esoteric requirements for entry and overall inconspicuous nature among the general public, no further containment procedures are necessary. However, close observation of each individual SCP-5778-A instance currently known to the Foundation is required, with surveillance tactics varying per area. Description: SCP-5778 is the collective designation for an abandoned anomalous logistics network located primarily in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with several nodes located in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. SCP-5778 itself comprises two tangible segments: a two-way "entry point" accessible only by inscribing an esoteric symbol upon the entry point's surface (designated SCP-5778-A), and a large inner facility functioning as a hub structure (designated SCP-5778-B), both of which are connected by a network of straight tunnels. SCP-5778-A instances normally take the form of inconspicuous objects with appropriate variation by location; for example, one recorded SCP-5778-A instance within a forest in Northern Georgia took the form of an ordinary oak tree, while a second recorded SCP-5778-A instance within Miami, Florida took the form of a garbage dumpster. Each SCP-5778-A instance is connected to a unique concrete tunnel approximately 15 meters wide, 20 meters high, and 180 meters long. Each tunnel is accessible only by entering SCP-5778-A and each tunnel leads directly to SCP-5778-B in a straight line. The tunnels are lit by light fixtures powered from an unknown source. Each SCP 5778-A instance is theorized to function as a conduit for a currently unknown type of Aspect Radiation, which the Foundation believes is responsible in some way for SCP-5778's anomalous nature. Further research into this connection and the nature of this form of Aspect Radiation is underway. A map of all known SCP-5778-A locations and their theorized energy connections within the contiguous United States. (Hover to Enlarge) SCP-5778-B is a seemingly subterranean facility containing a series of intersected service tunnels 10 meters wide and 17 meters high, with smaller tunnels connecting to the primary structure in the center. This structure contains several smaller corridors, storage rooms, and service shafts, all centered upon a large computer-filled control room elevated above the rest of the structure via a stairwell. SCP-5778-B is only accessible via the tunnel found inside any SCP-5778-A instance. Although SCP-5778-B's control room is mostly inoperable and visibly worn with age, the facility itself appears to have working electricity, as all lights and "oxygen circulation systems" appear to be on at all times. In addition, the operating system of the working computers appears to be equivalent to most modern computer operating systems (as of 1997). Placards in English are found throughout the facility to assist in navigation, and also indicate that the names of the tunnels and of the SCP-5778-A gateways follow an alphanumeric designation system (e.g. Gate A-32). These correspond to a database located on a computer in the control room, which lists the letter, number, and coordinates of the SCP-5778-A instance. SCP-5778 itself is not physically located anywhere in the world, but instead intersects with both the current baseline of reality and an unidentified higher dimension, wherein space is compressed into a smaller form, though time remains unaffected. Although SCP-5778 would otherwise normally comprise an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers given the extent of the SCP-5778-A instances found throughout the world, the actual area of SCP-5778 itself is measured to be only approximately 20 square kilometers. Any matter which enters SCP-5778 through a SCP-5778-A instance and exits through a different SCP-5778-A instance is instantaneously transported to the exit point in the baseline reality. By using SCP-5778, great distances can be traveled in effectively the same amount of time it would take to normally walk between two SCP-5778-A points while within the anomaly. Discovery: SCP-5778 was brought to the Foundation's attention following the disappearance of 39 year-old Lester Jenkins of Nevada on June 17, 1997. Prior to his disappearance, Jenkins had served for 13 years in the United States Air Force Security Forces at Edwards Air Force Base, though was later discharged due to mental health and safety concerns after experiencing several manic episodes. Documents recovered by Foundation informants within GoI-616 "PENTAGRAM"1 revealed that Jenkins was already on a PENTAGRAM watchlist by the time of his disappearance, due to the fact that the amnestics the PENTAGRAM issued after his discharge were apparently faulty and worsened his manic episodes. These amnestics were apparently issued due to Jenkins' "exposure to the transportation of classified goods," as per the PENTAGRAM dossier. Jenkins hosted the show "The World Beyond" on the now-defunct radio station 125.7 WKFQ, in which he would often discuss in length his conspiracy theories in lengthy diatribes against the US Government. Following the broadcast of his June 17 episode (see Addendum 5778.1), which discussed the then-unidentified SCP-5778 in great detail, Jenkins would go missing, presumably in search of a SCP-5778-A instance near Dulce, New Mexico. The absurdist nature of the broadcast itself, combined with an overall lack of interest in Jenkins' subject matter among the general public, allowed the Foundation to cover up the broadcast with standard misinformation campaigns under the guise of an FCC operation. Foundation agents would later raid Jenkins's home, finding evidence of the PENTAGRAM's presence prior to their arrival, as the property had already been searched when they arrived. Agents managed to locate a hidden compartment in Jenkins' bedroom, containing a set of coordinates leading to a remote area near Dulce, along with several manuscripts filled with esoteric symbols believed to grant access to SCP-5778-A. Following the investigation, it was determined that the PENTAGRAM intended to access SCP-5778 before the Foundation. Armed Site-21 staff launched OPERATION: GOLDEN ORB (see Addendum 5778.2) to secure the anomaly in time. Addendum 5778.1: Excerpt From June 17 Episode of "The World Beyond," 125.7 WKFQ << ACCESS RECORDING >> >> HIDE RECORDING << ARCHIVAL RECORDING ARCHIVE DATE: JUNE 17, 1997 [BEGIN LOG] [Intro music] ”THIIIS IS 125.7 WKFQ, and you're listening to… [Echoing voice effect] The World Beyond… [Normal tone] and I have got a little message for you Fed assholes out there — I’ve got you GOOD! Little do you JAGALOONS know, but this station's broadcasting on a specific wavelength that'll BLOCK OUT any rogue CONTROLLER transmissions you blast at me! Hahaha! Take that, score one for me! Score one for humanity. [Stock applause track] Anyways, jokes aside, folks… you always ask me on this show, "What's on your mind, Lester?" You guys always are calling in wanting to know what's going down, always wanting to hear what I have to say, eager to listen in on the next big conspiracy or reveal… so, here it goes. Here's what's on my mind. [Jenkins clears his throat] [Sound of a fist bashing a table] FUCK YOU!! [More bangs] Fuck you [bang], fuck you [bang], fuck you! [bang] Fuck you, politicians—you, who betray the very people you were elected to help and BEND to the will of GLOBALIST PEDOPHILE ELITES who live among us! Fuck you, military-industrial complex, who bring innocent people into the savagery of your FULLY-AUTOMATED PRIVATIZED WARFARE to exploit other nations' resources just to power your TOXIN-SPEWING cars and your PERSONAL SLAVE COMPUTERS at home! And fuck you, GANGSTER Feds, you selfish, all-righteous, secret-hiding, arrogant assholes! I know what you've done to me—the fluoride in the water, the toxic chemicals in the air, the MEMORY ERASING DRUGS you gave me. The black cars parked outside my house—you know that I know something, you know that I have guarded this nation's secrets for THIRTEEN YEARS, but I intend to share it to the world today! Beloved listeners, there… [pause, as if swallowing spittle] there exists an entire NETWORK beneath our feet that the CIA-FBI-DIA GANGSTER FED TRIUMVIRATE has crafted to serve the GLOBALIST ELITES for their own nefarious shadow game. Tunnels from garbage cans and other innocuous objects lead into a massive, empty space chock full of weapons and supplies for their hidden army, and you know what they've done with it, listeners?! They've shipped out WAR, people. Men and materials are shipped across oceans in seconds, agents are sent over to foreign countries to propagate revolutions and assassinate sovereigns before receding into their trash can portals. Worse, NUCLEAR WEAPONS are being delivered to the frontlines right under everyone's noses! I've SEEN what they drive out to Area 51 after a brief stint guarding there. I know the nature of this network. There is no teleportation grid—we're not THAT advanced—or hollow earth tunnels, but the passage is hidden within plain sight. Ley lines. The concept is simple. "Imaginary" lines which crisscross the globe, dotted with monuments and landmarks and other terrain features. They're currents for esoteric Gaean energy, which can be harnessed… which this network harnesses. And by harnessing this energy, travel is made instantaneous between two points. One moment you're walking into a brick wall… the next… you're in an alleyway in Denver. Remember the saying that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line? Think about it. There are few ways to access it, but I know, viewers, and I intend to explore and EXPOSE the secret GLOBALIST ELITE ILLUMINATI tunnels MYSELF. I've memorized the symbol inscribed onto the grill of the M35 trucks, an inverted triangle atop another, and a line through the middle. I'll find it. I'll figure it out. I'll be the visionary. [Heavy Sigh] Okay. Let's start with our first set of calls. We've got our first caller on the line now. Welcome to the show." [END LOG] Addendum 5778.2: OPERATION: GOLDEN ORB Video Log << CLASSIFIED TO LEVEL 4/5778 ONLY >> >> ACCESS GRANTED << OPERATION: GOLDEN ORB ARCHIVE DATE: JUNE 18, 1997 ASSIGNED TEAM: Mobile Task Force Delta-6 "Instant Action" Delta-6-1: Senior Agent Sam "Colt" Davidson (Agent in Charge) Delta-6-2: Agent Gavin "Buck" Pierce Delta-6-3: Special Agent Brodie "Spade" Van Der Merwe (GOC Transfer) Delta 6-4: Agent Jericka "Lynn" Brown HEADQUARTERS ELEMENT: Armed Site-21 Metro: Dr. Marcus L. Crassus (SCP-5778 Operations Director) QUICK REACTION FORCE: MTF Nu-7 "Hammer Down" 2 Charlie: Agent Jack "Cowboy" McCall (Agent in Charge) SITUATION: Potential GoI-616 "PENTAGRAM" assessment teams are en route to SCP-5778 in Dulce. MTF Delta-6 is to secure the anomaly and its interior before these teams arrive. If found, Person of Interest Lester Jenkins is to be apprehended. MTF Nu-7 2 Charlie is on standby for QRF support. MISSION: Locate and secure SCP-5778 and Lester Jenkins if possible, reconnoiter SCP-5778. EXECUTION: Night insertion to AO via HALO jump @ 25,000 ft (7,620 m) AGL, NLT 0300 hrs. [BEGIN VIDEO LOG] Captured image from Delta-6-4's helmet camera. [The video feed activates as the Foundation Insignia is replaced with a view of clouds in an emerald green background, indicating that night vision is active. All team members present are descending upon the objective in formation.] BUCK: Altitude 4,000 feet. COLT: Standby… [A pause.] COLT: Mark. [All team members pull their chutes in unison. The altimeter on the camera recording abruptly slows down upon reaching 3,000 feet AGL.] [Further footage of the descent is omitted for brevity. After some time, Delta-6 eventually lands at their DZ and begins packing up their parachutes and double-checking their gear.] COLT: Delta, sound off. BUCK: All good. SPADE: I'm good. LYNN: Green. COLT: Alright. Let's pick up the pace, folks, our gear’s landed one klick north, and the objective's another klick in the same direction. BUCK: Roger that. [The team steps off and begins hiking through the hills at a brisk pace. After some time passes, Delta-6 eventually reaches their equipment, four individual tubular pods partially embedded within the ground. They slow down from their jog, stow their PDWs, and begin gearing up and burying the pods.] BUCK: [Sarcastically] Wow, Spade. So nice of the GOC to give us these pod things that so conveniently hold all our gear. If only there were human-sized ones we could drop in with, makes things simpler. [Buck turns to Spade, who is affixing an OCULUS unit to his weapon's sight.] SPADE: You know we've had those for a while, right? BUCK: Touché. LYNN: Something of that size landing would create a hell of a lot of noise, you know. It's impractical. BUCK: It's awesome. SPADE: Hence why only the Strike Teams use them for when shit hits the fan, Agent Lynn. "Peace through superior firepower" is a mantra they taught us in the Coalition. BUCK: Just don't blow up any chairs you find in the anomaly, alright, Spade? SPADE: Fokken kont. That's propaganda. COLT: Lock it up. We're stepping off in one minute, so get your shit together. I'm tracking that we'll be about fifteen minutes early to the objective. LYNN: Hopefully the Feds haven't gotten there before us. BUCK: Scared you're gonna shoot one of your old war buddies, Lynn? LYNN: Maybe. SPADE: Relax. The way I see it, shooting Americans is a change of pace. LYNN: I guess you're right. COLT: Ready up. SPADE: Ready, Colt. COLT: Got everything, Rookie? LYNN: Yeah. COLT: I'll take point, then. Buck, take the rear since you're taking your sweet time. BUCK: [Grunting, while donning his gas mask] Got it, bossman. [The team steps off from their position and begins moving. After some time passes, they eventually reach a dirt road leading towards a large depression in the earth. There, they can see that the dirt road abruptly ends in the center of the depression near a large boulder. They establish themselves in defilade in the treeline before the depression, set up sectors of fire, and wait.] SPADE: Is that it? [Colt checks his GPS to confirm.] COLT: Looks like it. BUCK: [Sarcastically] Wow. A fucking rock. COLT: Delta-6-1 to Metro, we've reached SCP-5778. Holding now in case we're early, over. METRO: Metro to Delta-6-1, acknowledged. Proceed to the anomaly once you’ve secured the area, over. COLT: Wilco, Metro. 6-1, out. [Pause] Got anything for me yet, Spade? SPADE: Nothing on thermals or VERITAS, no visible footprints either. Seems we're early. COLT: Damn, what a shame. Honestly expected we'd see bigfoot out here, or maybe aliens. It's Dulce after all. [Pause] Stay frosty, folks. [Time passes.] SPADE: I will say, it’s beautiful tonight. Moon’s out. BUCK: …Can't believe I'm gonna be fighting SPEAR2 Team Six or some shit over a fucking rock, dude. Tier One Operator my ass. [Lynn chuckles.] BUCK: Is something funny, Lynn? SPADE: No one tell him. BUCK: Tell me what? COLT: Alright, that’s enough waiting. 6-1 to Metro, we're moving in on the objective now, over. METRO: Metro to Delta-6-1, acknowledged. Advise when you have entered SCP-5778, over. COLT: Understood, Metro. Delta-6-1, out. [Pause] Game time. Let's move. BUCK: Let's fucking go. COLT: Rookie, you take point. Get that door open. LYNN: Roger that. [The team get up from their defensive position and tactically advance upon the rock in a staggered column with their weapons drawn, while checking their surroundings periodically. Lynn, in the front of the formation, approaches the boulder and slings her rifle on her shoulder, then traces a triangular pattern against its surface with her finger. Upon completion of the pattern, her arm suddenly phases into the boulder. She then unslings her rifle, steps inside, and passes out of sight.] BUCK: So, I guess this is what you guys didn’t want to tell me. SPADE: I think it only gets weirder from here, Buck. Captured image from Delta-6-2's helmet camera. [The rest of Delta-6 enter the boulder, entering a concrete room lit up by buzzing light fixtures above. Ahead of them is a tunnel extending out as far as the eye can see, and behind them is an open submarine hatch-like door with the letters C-32 printed in white above the doorway. Agent Lynn is crouched by the entrance of the tunnel, rifle downrange.] SPADE: Kak, it’s bright in here. NVGs off. [Delta-6 deactivate their helmet mounted night vision equipment due to the brightness in the area. After closing the hatch behind them, Buck looks down the tunnel.] BUCK: Fuck me, man, they seriously could’ve gotten the Mole Rats to do this shit instead. LYNN: Claustrophobic now, Buck? BUCK: Shut the fuck up, Lynn. [Spade and Lynn chuckle. Colt steps over to the others.] COLT: Whaddya got, rookie? LYNN: Tunnel, goes down as far as I can see. It’s pretty well lit, though. METRO: Delta-6, this is Metro. We, uh, have seemed to have lost GPS position of you, can confirm that your video and audio feed are still transmitting, over. COLT: 6-1 to Metro, copy that, can confirm both are working on our end. GPS is still fucked, over. METRO: Continue with the mission, over. COLT: Affirmative, Metro. 6-1, out. [Pause] Only way on is forwards. [Colt makes a hand gesture for the team to follow him into the tunnel. The team begins walking.] COLT: So. Any preliminary observations you can make, make them now. Command's listening in. SPADE: I'm thinking it's an L'Engle anomaly. BUCK: In layman's terms, please and thank you. Not all of us on this team are former GOC, Spade. SPADE: Extra-dimensional, Buck. I'm thinking this is some sort of parallel dimension, or a higher dimension, or maybe a pocket dimension. Not sure. BUCK: What makes you think that? SPADE: Colt's compass and GPS acting fucky, for one. I'm getting weird background Aspect Radiation readings here, but from just eyeballing it, local reality is almost as stable as baseline. COLT: Who do you think made it? SPADE: Unknown, but this feels American. Maybe not. BUCK: For all I know, it could be commie. LYNN: Something about the way this was built is American. Just an inkling. BUCK: Did you see any tunnels like this in the DIA, Lynn? LYNN: Nope. There's the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, but that's not anomalous. COLT: Lights are getting dimmer around here, folks. Watch your step. [More walking. As they turn a corner to the right, Lynn, who checks the corner first, suddenly throws up a balled fist. The team halts.] LYNN: [Whispering] I've got eyes on one body, front. T-shaped intersection ahead. COLT: [Whispering] Spade, secure left, Buck, secure right. Lynn, you have the body. I've got the tunnel we came from. [The team continues, gradually slowing down as the passage abruptly ends at a T-shaped intersection. They tactically bound into the intersection and surround the corpse. The body on the ground still seems fresh upon first inspection. It is wearing an American woodland camouflage Land Warrior BDU with tactical gear, and has a large gunshot wound to the neck. The body lays beneath a large sign on the back wall of the intersection reading: “SMILE! YOU’RE ON CAMERA!”. Colt visually flinches at the sign and checks his surroundings, finding no cameras.] BUCK: We're clear. COLT: English. Guess that answers that question. Who is it, Lynn? [Lynn approaches the body and inspects it. She rips a Velcro patch off the body's right shoulder—it’s a trident upon a shield with a “6” placed in the center. She then gestures to a faded American flag patch on the left shoulder.] LYNN: PENTAGRAM, SPEAR Team Six. Nasty GSW, too. BUCK: Christ. Think it’s Jenkins going Rambo, or something else? SPADE: I’m leaning on the latter. COLT: 6-1 to Metro; be advised: we’ve located a PENTAGRAM casualty inside of SCP-5778. Unknown as to where the others or Jenkins are. Please advise, over. METRO: Delta-6, this is Metro, standby. COLT: Get me 360-degree security. Eyes and ears open. [Team pulls security in the intersection, using the walls from the SCP-5778-A tunnel they came in from as cover as they establish sectors of fire outwards from the body.] BUCK: Getting the creeps here, guys. [Silence ensues, save for the hum of air conditioning units within the tunnel. Thirty seconds pass.] METRO: Delta-6, this is Metro. Continue with the mission as planned, terminate any hostile entities you find, the containment team will deal with the body later. Advise minimizing your noise and radio chatter. Advise finding any sort of “control room,” as Jenkins’ writing suggests the existence of one. As a reminder, MTF Nu-7 is on standby for QRF support. COLT: Copy that, moving out. [Colt motions for the others to follow. They continue navigating through the tunnels for approximately fifteen minutes, following directions written in perfect English which point towards a "CONTROL CENTER TERMINUS" located deeper inside the facility. The lights are significantly dimmer in this section, but are still active.] COLT: Nods on. [The team activate their night vision equipment, halting at another T-shaped intersection. The path ahead leads to "C 1-59", and the path to the left leads to "CONTROL CENTER TERMINUS". Colt leans around the corner to check it.] COLT: Clear. Doorway ahead. Buck, go. BUCK: Moving. [Buck enters the corridor to the left, stopping at a doorway on the right side of the corridor.] BUCK: Set. COLT: Lynn, go. LYNN: Moving. [Lynn and Spade follow suit, followed last by Colt. They stack up against the wall.] BUCK: Stairs, going up. [Colt nods and exits the stack to ascend the stairs first, weapon up. He is followed by Spade, Buck, and Lynn.] COLT: Stairway clear. BUCK: Fuck me, it's tight up here. [Ahead is only a single corridor leading towards a wooden door.] COLT: Clear. Doorway ahead. Spade? [Spade looks through the large OCULUS sight affixed to his rifle and flicks a button on the side of the scope.] SPADE: Two humanoid contacts, one presumed KIA on the ground, another far right corner, sitting. [All team members flick their rifle safeties off and stack up in the doorway.] BUCK: Let's fucking do this. COLT: Spade, flash and clear. Buck, clear left. Lynn, clear right. Everyone ready? SPADE: Ready. I've got flash set to go off past the door. BUCK: Ready. LYNN: Ready. [Colt reaches for the underbarrel Masterkey breaching shotgun on his M16A4 rifle as Spade raises his own OICW towards the door. Colt racks the underbarrel shotgun and fires, blowing the doorknob off the door and causing it to open slightly ajar.] SPADE: Flashing! [Spade fires a projectile from the 20mm launcher through the hole created by Colt. A bright flash and loud bang comes from inside of the room as Colt kicks the door open.] BUCK: Go! [The team enters. As Buck clears the left half of the room, Lynn spots the humanoid contact on the right, who is animate and disoriented by the flashlights and flashbang. She aims her weapon at them.] LYNN: PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM! [The second humanoid contact comes into view as a soldier in a woodland-pattern Land Warrior BDU. He looks at Lynn, placing his hands over his face due to the flashlight before getting on his knees and throwing his hands up. Buck approaches Lynn and aims his weapon at the soldier as Spade and Colt enter the room.] SPADE: Clear! COLT: Lynn, Buck, EPW. Spade, check those computers. BUCK: KISS THE FUCKING FLOOR, PAL! [The soldier complies, laying face down on the ground with his arms extended out. Lynn approaches, kneeling down and cuffing the man as she begins thoroughly searching him.] SOLDIER: Skippers…? Oh, shit, thank God it's you guys for once. My gun and ammo are on the tabl— BUCK: I didn't ask you to talk, kemosabe. LYNN: He's clean. PENTAGRAM, SPEAR Team Six. BUCK: We found one of your guys dead on the way in. Where are all the rest of your friends at, uhh…? [Buck briefly rolls the soldier’s body over with his boot without resistance, inspecting his nametape.] BUCK: …J. Doe? DOE: It's a pseudonym that they give us all. The others are all KIA, scattered. Don't care either way. I'm done, man. BUCK: What, the tunnels giving you the creeps? DOE: More like I’ve realized something I shouldn’t have. I'm way in over my head, man. [Buck gestures to the deceased man on the floor, who is also wearing fatigues, albeit an older and more faded uniform without any tactical gear.] BUCK: Is that your friend over there, Mr. Doe? [J. Doe shakes his head. Colt rolls the body over with his foot and quickly steps back.] COLT: Oh, fuck. It's Jenkins. DOE: He was in here trying to shut the whole thing down, rambling about some inane "N-W-O Elite" crap when he charged me with a knife. Said he "couldn't let them get to me," or whatever. I had to do it. I couldn't risk taking the body outside, 'cause I didn't know if the guys that killed my team were still patrolling the tunnels. COLT: Fuck. LYNN: How long have you been here, and how long did you know about this? DOE: Knowing you guys? Probably as long as you. All I got was a thirty minute briefing. Been here for maybe three hours now. COLT: I'll call it in. [Pause] Delta-6-1 to Metro, we've secured the control room. We have one POW, and can confirm that Lester Jenkins and the PENTAGRAM team are all dead. 6-3 is working on getting those computers online, over. METRO: Delta-6-1, solid copy. Get as much information about SCP-5778 and any unknown third parties as you can, and extract with the POW. Nu-7 is awaiting your arrival for extraction, over. COLT: Copy. 6-1, out. [Pause] Why's PENTAGRAM here anyways? Aside from looking for Jenkins, of course. DOE: Hell if I know, dude, the spooks stumbled upon this and wanted some SEALs to help secure this area, maybe to store weapons for later ops or something. I saw plenty of storage rooms on my way in, you know. I only got picked for this op 'cause I saw some weird stuff at night while SCUD hunting during Desert Storm. This shit's got me fucked up. Just get me back to Arlington wired on amnestics or something. COLT: Well, you're not dying today, granted you don't do anything stupid. Follow all my instructions, and I’ll get you on the first plane back home, preferably not in a bodybag. SPADE: Alright, I'm starting up the computer now. BUCK: Hey, Spade, do you think that shit they say about computers being demonic is true? SPADE: Shut the hell up, Buck. Captured image from Delta-6-3's helmet camera. [Spade is inspecting the computer screen as it boots up. The words "ABRAXAS OPERATING SYSTEM v 1.1" appear on the screen, along with a logo and a complex geometric pattern. The screen goes black for a second, flashes a random series of colors, before text appears on the screen reading "PLANETARY LEY LINE APPORTATION NETWORK - PLAN". A blue desktop screen with the ABRAXAS logo centered presents itself, along with tables for "GAEAN ENERGY STATUS", "FACILITY POWER", “REMOTE VIEWING CAMERAS,” and "GATEWAY MGMT".] SPADE: Holy shit, this tech is recent. COLT: How recent? SPADE: Like SkipNet3 recent. BUCK: [Looking at J. Doe] …You sure your government didn't build this? DOE: Your guess is as good as mine, Skipper, I sure as hell don’t know what this is or what to make of it. All I know is that the PENTAGRAM found out about this after bugging some outgoing shipments that were being sent out from Edwards and Area 51 to the middle of nowhere. They wanted this network for ops, but someone else already owns it. We found that out the hard way. [Colt watches the door.] COLT: They still around? DOE: Unsure. This is something that's way above my paygrade, man, even PENTAGRAM's, but it's undoubtedly American. SPADE: Uhh. Colt. Looks like there's more than one of those rock-gateway things. They follow a letter and number designation system, and they give out coordinates too. COLT: GPS coordinates? SPADE: Mhm. For their real-world locations, I guess, since we're in, uh… limbo or whatever. Like, see here. [Pause] Judging by the coordinates of that one, it’s in New York. That one's in London. COLT: How many are there, Spade? SPADE: Ehh… [Pause] …twenty or so pages? Fifteen results per page. Might be more. COLT: Christ. I'm not gonna search this place top to bottom, I'm leaving that to the nerds t- [A buzzer alarm suddenly goes off. Spade shifts over to another screen.] SPADE: Uh oh. AUTOMATED VOICE: GATE B-87 HAS BEEN OPENED. BUCK: What the fuck? AUTOMATED VOICE: GATE C-32 HAS BEEN OPENED. LYNN: That's our gate. DOE: Oh fuck. Are they back? COLT: Who's "they"? Moreover, who just entered? DOE: The folks who took out my unit. Black uniforms, like cultists but with tac-gear. Hard to kill. COLT: What are they armed with? DOE: M4s and swords. BUCK: You're bullshitting me. What the fuck, man. [Spade hurriedly tries searching for gate B-87 through the camera system. Text on the screen indicates that the B-87 camera is disabled, however. The same is for gate C-32.] SPADE: Fuck. No dice. What's the plan? COLT: Exfiltrating, as per usual, but we're going a different exit. Spade, any of these gates lead to somewhere near Dulce? [Spade looks on the computer frantically, then references a map he pulls out of his vest.] SPADE: One about five klicks south. [Colt marches over to the computer and looks at the coordinates, then checks Spade's map.] COLT: [Mumbling] 36… 106… Dulce Mountain. Gate D-37… [Pause] 2 Charlie, this is Delta-6-1. COWBOY: Delta-6-1, this is 2 Charlie. What's up? COLT: Interrogative, how far away are you from the AO? COWBOY: Standby. [Pause] Ten mikes out. Why? COLT: Situation has changed, our current AO is compromised. An unknown number of hostile entities from an unknown GoI have just entered SCP-5778, confirmed armed and dangerous. They took out an entire PENTAGRAM SPEAR Team before us. We're getting out of here using another gateway that'll spit us out on Dulce Mountain. COWBOY: Copy that, we're Oscar Mike now. I've got a platoon worth of guys ready to clear out SCP-5778 once you arrive. Focus on gettin' out; I’m gonna get with Metro and tell 'em to have the containment team hold for now. COLT: Understood, 6-1, out. BUCK: We're moving out? COLT: Affirmative. We're going to gate D-37, QRF will clear out the place behind us. Doe, you're coming with. Lynn, keep an eye on him. LYNN: Roger that. [The team vacates the room and descends the stairs. Delta-6 then begins moving quickly through SCP-5778, passing by various tunnels of increasing number, and pausing to check their surroundings. After about ten minutes pass, Spade, on rear guard, suddenly holds up a fist.] SPADE: Contact, rear, humanoid. Marking. [Everyone pauses and activates their night vision. In Spade's view, a target emerges from a tunnel, wielding an unknown object. Spade pauses, tries to identify the target, then switches from night vision to VERITAS. The object now comes fully into view as a firearm. He activates the IR laser on his weapon and marks the target.] SPADE: Gun. COLT: Weapons free, Delta-6. [Spade fires his OICW thrice, and Colt fires his M16A4 twice. They are followed by a flurry of shots from Buck and Lynn. All shooters hit the center of mass of the humanoid. The target goes down, filling the hallways with the sounds of pained male screams. Spade aims towards the chest of the entity to finish it off, but the humanoid begins to stir, as if trying to get back up.] DOE: Aim for the head! [Spade's laser snaps towards the head of the entity. He fires two shots into the head of the entity. It ceases screaming and finally drops to the floor.] SPADE: Target neutralized. COLT: Double time! [More shouting is heard further down the tunnel that the team came from as two glistening lights suddenly appear at the end of the tunnel. Spade then flings himself into the corridor perpendicular to the team as a tracer round flies past him. The round hits Doe's leg, causing him to collapse and holler in pain, pushing Lynn to the floor in the process. More flashes of light whip past the team as the sound of automatic gunfire from both sides of the team fills the tunnels. Buck begins wildly firing his gun at semi-auto, switching between targets in the tunnel behind them and targets in the tunnel in front of them.] BUCK: Oh, fuck! LYNN: CONTACT FRONT! [Lynn, on her back, fires a burst from her weapon downrange before getting up and helping Doe up, before rushing into the tunnel Spade is currently shooting from. A haze steadily begins to fill the tunnels, and Doe, the only person without a gas mask, begins coughing profusely.] LYNN: Gas, gas, gas! COLT: [Pointing towards Spade] Into this passage, let's go! [Colt covers Buck and Lynn as they move into the corridor Spade is in. Spade fires a projectile from his OICW launcher down the hallway to the front, which detonates and fills the hallway with thick white smoke, concealing the team from enemy fire. He does the same for the opposite hallway, allowing ample time for the rest of the team to enter his corridor.] COLT: [Reading the walls] D-36, take a right here! [The team takes a right at the intersection in question, entering a SCP-5778-A tunnel marked "D-37". Spade and Colt hold position at the entrance of the tunnel to cover Buck, Lynn, and Doe. As the three pass a certain point, Spade falls back closer to the rest of the team and provides covering fire for Colt, who does the same.] DOE: Agh—fuck! [Doe suddenly collapses, forcing Lynn to sling her rifle against her shoulder and begin dragging Doe towards the exit. Buck covers her as he fires downrange at hostiles entering the passage they came from. Another gun battle ensues as bullets start landing around the team. Colt is hit on his left arm, but miraculously continues to fire downrange from the hip with his firing arm.] COLT: I'm hit! Arm's fucked! Spade, cover me! SPADE: Got it! They're filling the corridor, Colt! [Colt reaches into his vest for an auto-injector with an SCP Foundation insignia on its side. He jams it into his arm, then begins applying dressing to the wound. As he is doing this, Spade is continuing to fire downrange at full-auto.] SPADE: Changing mags! [Soon, Colt is back on his feet, and begins hastily reloading his weapon, despite only one arm being functional.] COLT: SPADE, MOVE BACK! I'll cover you! SPADE: Moving! [Spade rushes back towards the others and drops to a knee by the entrance of the gate room, alongside Buck. He fires an airburst round from his OICW past Colt, which detonates in the center of the group of humanoids, filling the hallway with a small explosion and neutralizing several hostiles further downrange. Lynn turns around momentarily to see that the passageway they had come from is now full of humanoids in black uniforms, wearing what vaguely resembles a cross between tactical gear and robes. Most of them are wielding ornate melee weapons and running towards them, using their resistance to damage to close the distance. They are almost within melee range of Colt at this point, even stumbling over the bodies of their fallen comrades to reach the two.] BUCK: SAM! LET'S GO! [Lynn sets Doe down and sprints forward, firing her weapon rapidly towards the heads of the humanoids. Using his armpit and sling to hold his weapon, Colt manages to rack his Masterkey one-handed and fires the underbarrel shotgun point blank at another entity, neutralizing it, before his rifle is grabbed. He is pulled towards the entities since the sling is still over his shoulder, but manages to duck, untangling himself from the sling and evading a stab from a sword-like weapon. He kicks the humanoid away with his foot and draws his sidearm, shooting it one-handed into the crowd. The humanoids closest to Colt are killed by Spade and Lynn, allowing him time to fall back to the gate.] BUCK: Everyone out! Let's GO! [Buck picks Doe up and opens the vault door with great effort. The team spills out into a cave surrounded by two squads worth of MTF Nu-7 operatives, who enter the cave wall and disappear from sight. Agent Cowboy approaches them from the entrance of the cave.] COWBOY: You look like shit, Colt. We've got this from here. [Cowboy enters the tunnel. More gunfire is heard as MTF Delta-6 and J. Doe evacuate the cave. The video feed abruptly ends.] [END VIDEO LOG] OPERATION: GOLDEN ORB AFTER ACTION REPORT Mobile Task Force Delta-6 "Instant Action" was extracted with zero losses and one (1) GoI-616 prisoner of war, "J. Doe." Doe was returned to PENTAGRAM custody on June 20, 1997, following an interrogation at Armed Site-21 and dose of Class-A amnestics. The interrogation revealed that the PENTAGRAM had no prior knowledge of SCP-5778 or the group of interest which owned it. Mobile Task Force Nu-7 "Hammer Down" neutralized all hostiles within SCP-5778 after three hours of fighting, sustaining 11 casualties in the process. Delta-6 and Nu-7 remained active in patrolling SCP-5778 until it was deemed fully contained on June 22, 1997, following a lengthy examination by containment specialists. Containment hardware is currently being delivered to SCP-5778 via an SCP-5778-A instance located 10 miles from Armed Site-21's location. An investigation into the hostile Group of Interest which breached SCP-5778 is currently underway. Autopsies have revealed that the humanoids which assailed Delta-6 and Nu-7, despite drastic physical alteration to their anatomy and physiology, are a 100% genetic match to humans. Addendum 5778.3: Additional Documentation << CLASSIFIED TO LEVEL 3/5778 ONLY >> >> ACCESS GRANTED << Below is a list of items of note recovered by MTF Delta-6, MTF Nu-7, and containment teams from SCP-5778 after securing the anomaly. Items Recovered from SCP-5778, 6/19/1997 Item Name Description of Item Ammunition Mixed ammunition of varying quantity were found in storage rooms throughout SCP-5778-B. Most numerous ammunition include 5.56x45mm NATO, 7.62x51mm NATO, and .50 BMG. These cartridges were non-anomalous and were secured by MTF Nu-7. Firearms A number of US-made firearms (not including ones found on the bodies of PENTAGRAM operatives) were found within storage rooms SCP-5778-B. Most numerous of these were M4A1 assault rifles engraved with runes and decorations similar to the sigils found on the ABRAXAS operating system. These firearms were non-anomalous and were secured by MTF-Nu-7. Counterconceptual Camouflage Tarps Agent Spade of MTF Delta-6 located ten Counterconceptual Camouflage Tarps within a storage room inside of SCP-5778-B. These tarps, when covering an object, will prevent an observer from perceiving the object or tarp without special equipment. Agent Spade was able to perceive these tarps through a filter module on his XM29 OICW. MREs Agent Lynn of MTF Delta-6 located approximately 28 packages for an unidentified form of MREs4 within a storage room inside of SCP-5778. The contents of these MREs vary from meals found in ordinary MREs, to unknown foods and items, including "Elixr Powder" and "Ambrosia Cutlets." These foods are chemically consistent with soy-based substitutes and appear to contain excess amounts of essential vitamins and proteins, but are otherwise deemed non-anomalous. Photograph A polaroid photograph was recovered inside of the SCP-5778-B control room. The flash appears to be on, and displays a number of hooded figures gathered around a SCP-5778-A instance in Bohemian Grove, Monte Rio, California. The robes worn are a match to the robes worn by the entities within SCP-5778-B. Notebook A notebook was found within a locked desk in the SCP-5778-B control room. The text is encrypted via a sophisticated cipher, but appears to be a daily log of SCP-5778-A activity. The words "God Bless America Forever." appear at the end of every log. Robes A storage room containing several robes worn by the humanoid entities within SCP-5778-B was discovered by Agent Buck and Agent Lynn of MTF Delta-6. These robes contain a pocket with an anomalously expanded interior capable of holding a fully loaded M4A1 carbine. A tag near the neck reads "MADE IN USA". Ceremonial Sword A large steel sword was found within a storage room inside of SCP-5778-B by MTF Nu-7. The sword produces a constant electromagnetic pulse which disables all electronics nearby, making recovery difficult. It has remained inside the storage room due to security concerns in removing it. Photograph A polaroid photograph was recovered inside of a keypad-locked room within SCP-5778-B. The photograph appears to be of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein meeting with a hooded figure inside of his palace. President Hussein is shaking hands with the hooded figure. Photograph A polaroid photograph was recovered inside of the same keypad-locked room within SCP-5778-B. This photograph depicts the entrance of the dirt road leading to Armed Site-21's primary access shaft. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Access SCiPNET Email? One (1) new message! Re:5778 To: Armed Site-21 Command Staff, SCP-5778 Research & Ops Director From: O5-7 Subject: 5778 ALCON, I'm sure you all are aware of the recent raid on Site-42 that I had the utmost misfortune of experiencing, the details of which aren't necessarily important for today. What is important is that the attacking force managed to flee from our view, utilizing little more than an ordinary office door, which leads me to believe that somehow SCP-5778 is involved. An investigation into SCP-5778 conducted by my own men of MTF Alpha-1 "Red Right Hand" has revealed that there were no motion trigger activations logged from gate V-1 on the database in Armed Site-21's operations center, which my team has discovered was the SCP-5778-A instance used to attack Site-42. Armed Site-21, fix your goddamn containment procedures post haste, or I shall fix them for you. O5-7 Secure, Contain, Protect To: Armed Site-21 Command Staff, O5-7 From: SCP-5778 Research & Ops Director Subject: Re:5778 Sir, I've consulted with my staff regarding the incident. The gate which you are describing, "V-1", did not exist in the records of the computers in SCP-5778-B or our own database until the day of the attack. I have amended the containment procedures accordingly. See below. MLC Dr. Marcus L. Crassus Armed Site-21 Director of Research & Operations Secure, Contain, Protect A SCP-5778-A instance contained by the Foundation in ██████. UPDATED CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES (10/12/1998): All personnel are advised to report any new SCP-5778-A instances to Armed Site-21 Command as soon as they appear. Armed patrols are to be conducted inside of SCP-5778-B every 24 hours by at least four squad-sized elements of armed security personnel trained in underground warfare. Any new SCP-5778-A instances or hostile entities found within SCP-5778 are to be terminated and reported to Command immediately. Mobile Task Force Delta-6 "Instant Action" are the only Foundation personnel authorized to use SCP-5778 as a method of deployment. MTF Nu-7 "Hammer Down" 2 Charlie Platoon is to remain on standby at Armed Site-21 for any breaches of containment or hostile incursions. Plans to permanently disable SCP-5778 are currently underway. The remarkable resilience to damage shown by the SCP-5778-B control room computers and the poorly-understood nature of how the SCP-5778-A gateways function has proven that disabling SCP-5778 is exceedingly difficult. In addition, no explosives have proven useful in disabling any SCP-5778-A tunnel. At this time, SCP-5778 is pending reclassification from Euclid to Keter. As of October 12, 1998, it is estimated that one new SCP-5778-A instance is created every month. The reasoning behind this exponential increase in appearances, and any patterns in which new SCP-5778-A instances are created, are currently unknown. . Footnotes 1.

SCP-5779 | euclid | Image matching SCP-5779's appearance according to Dr. Wilkinson. Item #: SCP-5779 Special Containment Procedures: N/A + Previous Containment Procedures - Previous Containment Procedures SCP-5779 is to be kept in a well furnished humanoid containment cell. Furbishments, aside from the standard furniture set, include: A shelf of novels, largely of the fantasy genre A television with a Blu Ray DVD player A drawing board, and a desk which is to be outfitted with artistic supplies such as pencils and paints. SCP-5779's meals are to include a dessert item. Dr. Wilkinson is to meet with SCP-5779 for an interview at least once a day. Description: SCP-5779 appears to most individuals as a humanoid taking on the appearance of a recently deceased loved one. SCP-5779 will maintain its own personality, however it will gain a small selection of memories of the deceased, allowing it to mimic their actions at a rudimentary level. SCP-5779 is imperceptible to individuals who have not yet experienced the death of a loved one. Due to this, it is currently unknown to what extent SCP-5779 exists as a physical form as opposed to a consistent, mental projection. However, evidence of SCP-5779 interacting with its surroundings in the presence of individual who can perceive it indicate that, at the very least, it has some physical make up. Recovery: SCP-5779 was originally discovered when word spread that Henri Meyer1 had successfully replicated his dead wife, Alexia Meyer. Rumored methods of replication included: Hiring an actress to undergo extensive plastic surgery Commissioning the Hanson Robotics company2 to build an artificial replacement Hiring Type-Green entities specializing in illusions to sustain an image of the deceased Extensive intelligence operations into the matter discovered that Meyer was living with SCP-5779. Containment of SCP-5779 was met with violent resistance, however the operation concluded successfully with minimal losses. Addendum SCP-5779-1: Below is the initial interview between SCP-5779 and Project Lead Dr. Wilkinson recorded on standard Interview Chamber Cameras. Wilkinson enters the interview chamber, still looking down at his clipboard. Wilkinson: Afternoon 5779, I'm here to— Wilkinson looks up from his clipboard and freezes. SCP-5779: Is uh, something wrong? Wilkinson: That can't be right. SCP-5779: Oh… I think I get it. Yeah, that's unfortunate buddy. Wilkinson backs away from the table. Wilkinson: No, no that's not fair! Nobody fucking told me! SCP-5779: I don't know what to tell you. Wilkinson: … fuck. Wilkinson turns and leaves and interview chamber, slamming the door behind him. Addendum SCP-5779-2: Following the initial interview, Wilkinson stormed into Site Director Lin's office. The following exchange was recorded on Foundation security cameras inside of the office. Liu: Hey Marcus, what's with the sudden— Wilkinson: When did she die? Liu: Excuse me? Wilkinson: Melissa Pire. When did she die? Liu: I have no clue what you're talking about. Wilkinson: She's part of your group right? Containment and Capture, right? Don't tell me you don't know when your agents go down in the field. Liu: I do, but— Wilkinson: Then tell me when she fucking died! Liu sighs, and begins typing on her computer. Liu: I see… well, she died three days ago. Wilkinson: If you had three days, then why did nobody tell me? Liu: I said, it's classified. Wilkinson: You tell next of kin, right? You tell spouses right? Then why don't you tell spouses-to-be? Liu: Well, you're not listed here. Maybe she didn't update the system. I honestly forget if we even do fiancés. Wilkinson: Then what was supposed to happen? Just wait for her to come back from a mission forever? Liu: I'm sorry! I don't know what to tell you, Marcus. It's terrible but it's what happens in our field of work. Wilkinson: You could have done me the courtesy of consoling me with that after I heard the news! Liu: Fine! Melissa Pire is dead. There, I've told you. What now? Wilkinson steps away from Liu's desk. His breathing slows as he falls into one of the office chairs. Wilkinson begins to weep with his head in his hands. Liu walks over to Wilkinson and puts an arm around his shoulder. Liu: It's hard. I know. Wilkinson: We— we were supposed to talk about wedding invitations when she came back… Liu: Hey, hey. How about this. You take the week off. Come to grips with everything and make sure that you're doing ok. I want you to be ok Marcus. Wilkinson sniffles. Wilkinson: Fine. I'll take my time. Dr. Wilkinson took the next five days off, listed as "medical leave". Foundation human resources scheduled for Dr. Wilkinson to see a therapist on each day of his time off. He attended the first three meetings, and then cancelled the remaining two, saying that he thought he had other, more effective ways to improve his mental state. Addendum SCP-5779-3: After Dr. Wilkinson's respite, he resumed his duties as the lead of the SCP-5779 containment project, and re-attempted the initial interview with the anomaly once again. SCP-5779: Hey, you're back! Wilkinson: I'm sorry about last time. It was a bit of a shock for me. SCP-5779: Honestly, I was worried I scared you off. Wilkinson: Well, I'm still the lead on your containment. They don't have a lot of amorphous entity experts on base. SCP-5779 laughs. SCP-5779: I imagine they don't have a lot of those in general. Wilkinson: Yeah… they don't. But moving on to the interview, do you have any memories of before you had these anomalous properties? SCP-5779: Not really no. I've just sort of always been like this. Wilkinson: I see… so no memory or parents or other family. SCP-5779: Nope. Well, not of any family I'm certain is mine. Wilkinson: Can you elaborate? SCP-5779: Well, right now I can vaguely remember a mom and a dad, but they're not mine. They're whoever I look like to you right now. I also remember having a boyfriend. I remember staying up late with him binging Avatar the Last Airbender. I remember skipping out on a staff meeting together to go to the beach. I remember being proposed to… ah, this must be hard for you, isn't it? Wilkinson wipes tears from his eyes. Wilkinson: It's fine. I'm— I'm fine. How have they been treating you here? SCP-5779: If I'm being honest, it's been a little boring. I wrote up a little proposal though. Just some things that might help me feel a little more at home. SCP-5779 hands Wilkinson a piece of paper. As Wilkinson reads, his grip on the page visibly tightens. SCP-5779: So, do we have ourselves a deal? Wilkinson: Why? What did I do to you? SCP-5779: That's not a no. Wilkinson: … yeah. We have a deal. Addendum SCP-5779-4: Following the above interview, Dr. Wilkinson began to file for a number of additional furbishments and recreational activities for SCP-5779. While it is believed that the initial acceptance of each request is within line with Foundation protocol, the lack of follow through on the handling of these affordances could only be described as extreme ineptitude. Below is a record of all furbishments and recreational activities afforded to SCP-5779, along with notes taken during a later investigation into Dr. Wilkinson regarding the use of these affordances: Date Requested Affordance Justification Notes 04/14/2020 Fantasy books Since SCP-5779 has the same needs as other humanoid anomalies, basic entertainment like books should be provided as well. SCP-5779 and Dr. Wilkinson often met to discuss these books, which they coordinated to read at the same time. 05/03/2020 Television A variety of media to consume can help to alleviate depressive symptoms that often manifest themselves in humanoid anomalies. After day-shift personnel left the facility, Dr. Wilkinson would join SCP-5779 to watch shows together. This often led to intimate physical displays. Later interrogation of guards assigned at the time admitted to being bribed. 05/06/2020 Dessert Including sweet items alongside the traditional nutrient rich meals would encourage the anomaly to finish meals. While the majority of desserts provided consisted of ice cream or baked goods, the first request was for a cheesecake with a single candle. Video footage shows Dr. Wilkinson sharing the cheese cake with SCP-5779, as if celebrating a birthday. 05/18/2020 Artistic supplies and a desk Creative outlets have been shown to relax anomalies, and make them more expressive and amicable during interviews. Upon first introduction to SCP-5779's cell, the anomaly made extensive use of the materials. This included an attempt to draw Dr. Wilkinson during an interview. 05/22/2020 Attendance at the Site-41 Music Festival3 Partaking in social events with staff can increase an anomaly's level of cooperation with staff. SCP-5779 was almost completely covered during the event, so witnesses could not complete confirm its presence. However, attending personnel recollect Dr. Wilkinson spending the entire social event with someone suspected to be SCP-5779, usually talking in a corner, or holding hands. Addendum SCP-5779-4: While numerous interviews with SCP-5779 were supposedly held, almost none were recorded. Below is the transcript submitted by Dr. Wilkinson to meet his monthly anomaly update quota: SCP-5779: Hey, babe. Wilkinson: Hey. SCP-5779 points to the interview chamber cameras. SCP-5779: You actually turned those on? I thought we didn't need cameras anymore. Wilkinson: I still need to uh, record some of our interviews. Just to keep the system happy. SCP-5779: Bold thing to say on file. Wilkinson: No one really listens to these things anyways… SCP-5779 laughs. SCP-5779: We're still on for six tonight, right? Finale of the Dragon Prince? I've been having to stop myself from watching it without you. Wilkinson: Actually, um, I might have to push it back? I have a meeting that ends around seven… SCP-5779: Really? Seven? Wilkinson: I know, I'm sorry, but it just came up and— SCP-5779: I'm not sure I'm going to last until seven. Wilkinson: Oh, um, I see. Well, maybe I can skip this one. Call in sick. SCP-5779: That would be great. Wilkinson checks his watch. Wilkinson: I should get going. If I'm in here for too long the guards might get suspicious. SCP-5779: Ok! I'll see you tonight! SCP-5779 leans over and kisses Wilkinson before he leaves. Addendum SCP-5779-5: After Dr. Wilkinson failed to arrive at his quarterly containment status update meeting, an investigation into Dr. Wilkinson's actions was commenced by Site Director Liu. This led to the discovery of multiple egregious examples of abuse of power of Dr. Wilkinson's position, as well as multiple failures of other Foundation checks and balances. The following is a transcript of the meeting between Dr. Wilkinson and Site Director Liu, informing Dr. Wilkinson of his dismissal. Wilkinson: Hey uh… I have an interview with SCP-5779 scheduled kind of soon. Is this going to be quick. Liu: Don't worry about that Marcus. We have someone stepping in to take care of that interview. Wilkinson: Oh. Nobody told me about that. Liu: Yeah. Because you're no longer in charge of SCP-5779. In fact, you don't have any anomalies under your jurisdiction. Wilkinson: Sorry, but what? Liu rolls her eyes, and pulls out her computer. She pulls up the recording of Addendum SCP-5779-4's interview. When it finishes, Wilkinson's begins taking rapid, shallow breaths. Liu: Don't act surprised. It's embarrassing you've gotten away with this for as long as you did, but you couldn't have thought we never would've noticed. Wilkinson: Please, please don't take her away from me. Liu: You have left me literally no choice. Wilkinson: You don't understand. I need to see her. I can't just let her die on me again… Liu: She's already being transferred to isolated confinement. Wilkinson: You bitch! Liu: Give the guards outside your pass card when you leave. Someone will follow up with you on the next steps. Liu leaves the room. After the door closes, Wilkinson collapses onto the table, and cries into his arms. Addendum SCP-5779-6: The following is a transcript of the relocation of SCP-5779: Security guards Tennison and Marquez enter SCP-5779's containment cell. SCP-5779 is sitting at its drawing board. It briefly looks over its shoulder when the door opens. SCP-5779: You're not Marcus. Tennison: We'll need you to come with us. Marquez: We're transferring you to a more spacious containment cell. SCP-5779 goes back to drawing. SCP-5779: Oh, you are? Marcus never told me anything about that. Tennison: Umm, maybe he meant it as a surprise? SCP-5779: Besides, aren't I supposed to have an interview with him in a few minutes? Marquez: That got rescheduled. SCP-5779 puts down its pencil and starts looking through one of the drawing board's desk drawers. It smiles wide. SCP-5779: Marcus pushing back an interview? Now that definitely doesn't sound like him. Tennison and Marquez begin to reach for their tasers. Tennison: Well, maybe if we move you fast enough, maybe we can hold the interview on time. SCP-5779: Bastard can't keep a deal. But I can. Before Tennison or Marquez can fire their tasers, SCP-5779 takes a fistful of sharpened pencils from the drawer, and stabs them into its throat. Medical personnel were summoned, but SCP-5779 was deemed neutralized before they arrived. Dr. Wilkinson has not yet been informed of SCP-5779's demise. The use of amnestics to allow Dr. Wilkinson to resume his previous duties is currently under consideration. Addendum SCP-5779 After the neutralization of SCP-5779, Dr. Wilkinson's desk was searched for evidence of additional malpractice. No indication of a wider scheme could be found, but the search did find the following letter, presumed to be given to Dr. Wilkinson by SCP-5779 during their second interview: I'm so happy you're back. I really am. Because I don't think I could propose this to anyone else. I figured you took time off work to get over Melissa right? But you and I both know that a week is nowhere near long enough. That's a wound that's going to stick with you, and the people here couldn't give less of a shit about it. You can tell because they only gave you a week before dragging you back. We're alike in that way. You're trapped here by your job, I'm trapped here for obvious reasons, and no one here cares about either of us. Here, I'll show you some good will. I'll tell you how your fiancé died. I knew that people like you would come for me eventually. I suggested all sorts of defenses and traps so Mr. Meyer could keep his wife safe. Melissa was unfortunately the first in line when they came to capture me. Took a wrong step, set off a trip wire with an explosive on the end and… poof! No more Melissa! It was nothing personal of course. Just the way of things. So, in a way, I've already killed Melissa once, but I'm totally down to do it again. I hate it here with a special passion. The food is bland, the interior decor is absolutely atrocious. Rotting away in this cell is literally worse than death. If I'm too bored, I'll have to make entertainment for myself. I can bash this face in against a wall until it's just a caved-in mess. I can bite my tongue and bleed out through my mouth. Trust me, I can get creative with it. Or, we can keep each other occupied. Keep each other happy. I can be your Melissa, if you're here for me too. We can cuddle and watch movies. We can have coffee in the mornings. Hell, I'll even let you fuck me. Let's make this lonely existence just a tad more tolerable. Together. Love, Your Melissa Footnotes 1. Former CEO of Deutsche Telekom 2.

Below is a record of all furbishments and recreational activities afforded to SCP-5779, along with notes taken during a later investigation into Dr. Wilkinson regarding the use of these affordances: Date Requested Affordance Justification Notes 04/14/2020 Fantasy books Since SCP-5779 has the same needs as other humanoid anomalies, basic entertainment like books should be provided as well. SCP-5779 and Dr. Wilkinson often met to discuss these books, which they coordinated to read at the same time. 05/03/2020 Television A variety of media to consume can help to alleviate depressive symptoms that often manifest themselves in humanoid anomalies. After day-shift personnel left the facility, Dr. Wilkinson would join SCP-5779 to watch shows together. This often led to intimate physical displays. Later interrogation of guards assigned at the time admitted to being bribed. 05/06/2020 Dessert Including sweet items alongside the traditional nutrient rich meals would encourage the anomaly to finish meals. While the majority of desserts provided consisted of ice cream or baked goods, the first request was for a cheesecake with a single candle. Video footage shows Dr. Wilkinson sharing the cheese cake with SCP-5779, as if celebrating a birthday. 05/18/2020 Artistic supplies and a desk Creative outlets have been shown to relax anomalies, and make them more expressive and amicable during interviews. Upon first introduction to SCP-5779's cell, the anomaly made extensive use of the materials. This included an attempt to draw Dr. Wilkinson during an interview. 05/22/2020 Attendance at the Site-41 Music Festival3 Partaking in social events with staff can increase an anomaly's level of cooperation with staff. SCP-5779 was almost completely covered during the event, so witnesses could not complete confirm its presence. However, attending personnel recollect Dr. Wilkinson spending the entire social event with someone suspected to be SCP-5779, usually talking in a corner, or holding hands. Addendum SCP-5779-4: While numerous interviews with SCP-5779 were supposedly held, almost none were recorded. Below is the transcript submitted by Dr. Wilkinson to meet his monthly anomaly update quota: SCP-5779: Hey, babe. Wilkinson: Hey. SCP-5779 points to the interview chamber cameras. SCP-5779: You actually turned those on? I thought we didn't need cameras anymore. Wilkinson: I still need to uh, record some of our interviews. Just to keep the system happy. SCP-5779: Bold thing to say on file. Wilkinson: No one really listens to these things anyways… SCP-5779 laughs. SCP-5779: We're still on for six tonight, right? Finale of the Dragon Prince? I've been having to stop myself from watching it without you. Wilkinson: Actually, um, I might have to push it back? I have a meeting that ends around seven… SCP-5779: Really? Seven? Wilkinson: I know, I'm sorry, but it just came up and— SCP-5779: I'm not sure I'm going to last until seven. Wilkinson: Oh, um, I see. Well, maybe I can skip this one. Call in sick. SCP-5779: That would be great. Wilkinson checks his watch. Wilkinson: I should get going. If I'm in here for too long the guards might get suspicious. SCP-5779: Ok! I'll see you tonight! SCP-5779 leans over and kisses Wilkinson before he leaves. Addendum SCP-5779-5: After Dr. Wilkinson failed to arrive at his quarterly containment status update meeting, an investigation into Dr. Wilkinson's actions was commenced by Site Director Liu. This led to the discovery of multiple egregious examples of abuse of power of Dr. Wilkinson's position, as well as multiple failures of other Foundation checks and balances. The following is a transcript of the meeting between Dr. Wilkinson and Site Director Liu, informing Dr. Wilkinson of his dismissal. Wilkinson: Hey uh… I have an interview with SCP-5779 scheduled kind of soon. Is this going to be quick. Liu: Don't worry about that Marcus. We have someone stepping in to take care of that interview. Wilkinson: Oh. Nobody told me about that. Liu: Yeah. Because you're no longer in charge of SCP-5779. In fact, you don't have any anomalies under your jurisdiction. Wilkinson: Sorry, but what? Liu rolls her eyes, and pulls out her computer. She pulls up the recording of Addendum SCP-5779-4's interview. When it finishes, Wilkinson's begins taking rapid, shallow breaths. Liu: Don't act surprised. It's embarrassing you've gotten away with this for as long as you did, but you couldn't have thought we never would've noticed. Wilkinson: Please, please don't take her away from me. Liu: You have left me literally no choice. Wilkinson: You don't understand. I need to see her. I can't just let her die on me again… Liu: She's already being transferred to isolated confinement. Wilkinson: You bitch! Liu: Give the guards outside your pass card when you leave. Someone will follow up with you on the next steps. Liu leaves the room. After the door closes, Wilkinson collapses onto the table, and cries into his arms. Addendum SCP-5779-6: The following is a transcript of the relocation of SCP-5779: Security guards Tennison and Marquez enter SCP-5779's containment cell. SCP-5779 is sitting at its drawing board. It briefly looks over its shoulder when the door opens. SCP-5779: You're not Marcus. Tennison: We'll need you to come with us. Marquez: We're transferring you to a more spacious containment cell. SCP-5779 goes back to drawing. SCP-5779: Oh, you are? Marcus never told me anything about that. Tennison: Umm, maybe he meant it as a surprise? SCP-5779: Besides, aren't I supposed to have an interview with him in a few minutes? Marquez: That got rescheduled. SCP-5779 puts down its pencil and starts looking through one of the drawing board's desk drawers. It smiles wide. SCP-5779: Marcus pushing back an interview? Now that definitely doesn't sound like him. Tennison and Marquez begin to reach for their tasers. Tennison: Well, maybe if we move you fast enough, maybe we can hold the interview on time. SCP-5779: Bastard can't keep a deal. But I can. Before Tennison or Marquez can fire their tasers, SCP-5779 takes a fistful of sharpened pencils from the drawer, and stabs them into its throat. Medical personnel were summoned, but SCP-5779 was deemed neutralized before they arrived. Dr. Wilkinson has not yet been informed of SCP-5779's demise. The use of amnestics to allow Dr. Wilkinson to resume his previous duties is currently under consideration. Addendum SCP-5779 After the neutralization of SCP-5779, Dr. Wilkinson's desk was searched for evidence of additional malpractice. No indication of a wider scheme could be found, but the search did find the following letter, presumed to be given to Dr. Wilkinson by SCP-5779 during their second interview: I'm so happy you're back. I really am. Because I don't think I could propose this to anyone else. I figured you took time off work to get over Melissa right? But you and I both know that a week is nowhere near long enough. That's a wound that's going to stick with you, and the people here couldn't give less of a shit about it. You can tell because they only gave you a week before dragging you back. We're alike in that way. You're trapped here by your job, I'm trapped here for obvious reasons, and no one here cares about either of us. Here, I'll show you some good will. I'll tell you how your fiancé died. I knew that people like you would come for me eventually. I suggested all sorts of defenses and traps so Mr. Meyer could keep his wife safe. Melissa was unfortunately the first in line when they came to capture me. Took a wrong step, set off a trip wire with an explosive on the end and… poof! No more Melissa! It was nothing personal of course. Just the way of things. So, in a way, I've already killed Melissa once, but I'm totally down to do it again. I hate it here with a special passion. The food is bland, the interior decor is absolutely atrocious. Rotting away in this cell is literally worse than death. If I'm too bored, I'll have to make entertainment for myself. I can bash this face in against a wall until it's just a caved-in mess. I can bite my tongue and bleed out through my mouth. Trust me, I can get creative with it. Or, we can keep each other occupied. Keep each other happy. I can be your Melissa, if you're here for me too. We can cuddle and watch movies. We can have coffee in the mornings. Hell, I'll even let you fuck me. Let's make this lonely existence just a tad more tolerable. Together. Love, Your Melissa Footnotes 1. Former CEO of Deutsche Telekom 2.

Egg remains not shown. Special Containment Procedures SCP-5780 is to be housed in a standard avian containment unit in Site-155. Eggs produced by SCP-5780 are to be destroyed. Testing of eggs is to be approved by the Site Director and the Location Selection Committee. The area produced by SCP-57801 is to be minimally monitored for any anomalous activity. A full blackout protocol is to be initiated using Foundation web crawlers to conceal it. Due to the isolated location of SCP-5780-1, demolishing it has been considered impractical and inefficient. Access to Gastoneu documents detailing the ritual used for SCP-5780 is limited to personnel with Level 5/Clearance. The ritual is to be investigated for its potential in reestablishing cities and landmarks after an XK-Class scenario. Description SCP-5780-A. SCP-5780 refers to three yellow African geese2 (Anser anser domesticus) whose eggs have a 30 percent chance of undergoing a Hachure Event. This produces a copy of Paris3, which is designated as an SCP-5780-1 instance. During a Hachure Event, an egg's size will exponentially increase over the course of one day. It will then crack and leak approximately 15,200 liters of a red, alcoholic fluid. Afterward, the shell will break down, revealing an SCP-5780-1 instance4. Explorations of SCP-5780-1 instances show that they are non-anomalous, aside from being covered in albumen and having non-functional electrical and water lines. The taste of eggs produced by SCP-5780 is reportedly similar to wine. No health effects have been noted, however, and no Hachure Events have occurred after consumption. Prior to its containment, SCP-5780 was under the care of the Gastoneu and Sons Company, a leading poultry firm in France. According to Gastoneu dossiers, SCP-5780 is the result of a complex thaumaturgic ritual performed on geese. This involves 650 L of ethanol, 35 kg of egg albumen, 20th-century maps of Paris, and several thaumaturgic chants. The result is 500 mg of a clear liquid, which is injected into SCP-5780. Supervised by Félicien Gastoneu, the company's CEO, the ritual was performed on one of his islands in the Pacific. Recovered documents indicate that Gastoneu was unsuccessful in conducting the ritual for the last five years5. Capture Report (09/06/2020) SCP-5780 was continuously yielding eggs in the first SCP-5780-1 instance. The subsequent Hachure Events resulted in the emergence of buildings in random locations, causing several parts of the city to become unrecognizable. Due to the city's size, 50 drones were deployed in order to capture SCP-5780. DOC-CPTR-5780 Close. FILED UNDER DOCUMENT TYPE EX-01 09/06/2020 Capture Log 5780-01 — [[BEGIN LOG]] — [[00:01:30]] The drones arrive at the 1st Arrondissement6. A quick scan reveals that the city is devoid of any entities. A Hachure Event commences, generating an SCP-5780-1 instance that has a diameter of approximately 30m7. This topples several buildings and a part of the Tuileries Palace before flooding the area with the red fluid. [[00:04:42]] The Palais Garnier is completely razed by another Hachure Event. The resultant eggshells crush other buildings in the 9th Arrondissement. SCP-5780-A is sighted wading through the flooded Avenue de l'Opéra. Upon drone approach, the instance flies away. [[00:06:42]] SCP-5780-A lands near two copies of the Arc de Triomphe, where it produces an egg. A capturing drone is redirected to this location, although SCP-5780-A flies off to the east. [[00:10:18]] SCP-5780-A perches atop a copy of the Eiffel Tower8. Another Hachure Event occurs near the bottom of the tower, which foils a nearly successful capture attempt. SCP-5780-A escapes as the drones regroup. It is tracked down to the front of the Louvre Museum, which has been partially pulverized by a condominium that emerged from its center. It was successfully captured. [[00:22:18]] SCP-5780-B is sighted in an area where several Hachure Events have occurred9 SCP-5780-B moves through an arrangement of buildings that are stacked on top of each other. It enters a window in a flooded Hausmann-era restaurant10, whose sides have been destroyed by two skyscrapers. [[00:24:22]] SCP-5780-B, which is pursued by two drones, topples several chairs. One of the drones' cameras is moderately damaged by SCP-5780-B's beak before it escaped to the kitchen. It is trapped when it tried to enter a small opening, enabling successful capture. [[00:30:06]] SCP-5780-C is found in the severely destroyed Gastoneu Headquarters. Approximately 14 eggs are scattered throughout the area. It arrives at Gastoneu's company quarters, where it appears to have made a nest. A severely degraded painting depicting Gastoneu, his family crest and two unidentified individuals standing beside him is hanging on the eastern wall. — [[END LOG]] — There is a marked decrease in SCP-5780's activity in containment and a drop in egg production. Analysis of the painting found indicates that it was created in 2015, during which Gastoneu was reportedly stressed and frequently requested leaves to devote more time to family matters. Interview Report Gastoneu was interviewed by the Foundation concerning his motives for creating SCP-5780. Records show that Gastoneu has taken on a smaller administrative role in the company due to his age and personal matters. FILED UNDER DOCUMENT TYPE IN-01 09/16/2020 Interview 5780-01 Interviewer: Level-3 Diplomatic Officer Albert Morlisson Interviewed: Félicien Gastoneu Location: Executive Office, Gastoneu Headquarters, Paris, France — [[BEGIN INTERVIEW]] — Félicien Gastoneu. The song Belles! Belles! Belles! is being played on a record player. Humming, Gastoneu enters the interview room. Morlisson: Good afternoon, Mr. Gastoneu. <Shuffles several documents.> Gastoneu: It's a fine day after all. I suppose that you approached me for the whole golden geese fiasco? Let's, <Points finger up for several seconds.> get the ball rolling, shall we? Morlisson: <Silent for five seconds.> Yes. We are hoping that you could provide your motives for creating them. Gastoneu: <Smirks.> I see. Tell me, young man, have you gone to Paris? Morlisson: Not yet, Mr. Gastoneu, but of course, I hope to. Gastoneu: Hmm, 'not yet', you say… you know, when I was a little runt, I really wanted to break all the 'not yets' and 'whatnots' that I thought of, and I wanted the means and money to do them. And… <Chuckles.> look at what I have now. Well, it's not certainly something I shouldn't really brag about. Morlisson: What do you mean? Gastoneu stands up and fetches a bottle of red wine. Gastoneu: <Grins.> Of course, when you have the money, well, wouldn't you be more adventurous in doing things that no one will do? But alas, listen to what this old man will say. My parents were humble poultry owners, dealing mainly with geese. But, <Points his finger up.> when they had money, they went to Paris during the 70s, and hear songs like L’opportuniste and La Madrague playing in the restaurants. I tagged along, and it was fun to be with them. One of the lessons they taught me is that I should become very creative and free in what I'm trying to do. Be an interesting person - be Parisian! <Pumps his fists in the air.> Morlisson: I see, and this is a rather interesting story, Mr. Gastoneu. Given your disposition, this led to the creation of the geese? Gastoneu: Yes. You see, for an old man like me, no matter how energetic I can get, Paris of today is too fast-paced. Tiring. It's too based on money and expenses now, but I work here because the big businesses are here. Plus, my ailing mother - the opposite of me - wanted to enjoy its simpler charms, so… think of it as a present. <Smiles.> So, with the help of some friends in the industry, we immediately fiddled with some geese and made them 'gold'. Morlisson: I understand. However, it appears that you have abandoned the project. Is that correct? Gastoneu: <Smiles and sighs.> Well, think about it for a moment - what happens if the heat meets the chilly, empty air, monsieur? Or when a desolated city meets a man of festivities? Silence for several seconds. Morlisson puts down the documents he was holding on the table, and rubs his chin. I didn't even have the heart to show the Paris the geese made to my mother - it was devoid of nostalgia, laughter and fashion, and it was unfit for her. Remember what I said about breaking the 'whatnots' and 'notyets' using money and power? I should have been more careful in approaching the line between wildness and vanity and learned that there are a lot, lot more things I can't bring back. Gastoneu then smokes a cigarette and sighs. Morlisson: <Shuffles documents.> Is there anything else you have to say, Mr. Gastoneu? Gastoneu: <Chuckles, and coughs.> Well, I must tell you this now. The whole affair was a wild, but in the end, senseless goose chase, though I must admit, it was fun at the start. — [[END INTERVIEW]] — Footnotes 1.

SCP-5781 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5781 Special Containment Procedures: All buildings that appeared as a result of SCP-5781 are to continue operating, with discreet supervision. PoI-94707 should be monitored for any further suspicious activity. Description: SCP-5781 refers to an event that began on November 26th 1999, wherein multiple buildings spontaneously appeared on the coasts of Florida, United States over a 3 day period. Branding indicates that these buildings belong to Alan Investigations, a private detective firm which lacks any record of existence prior to the date SCP-5781 began. Following these appearances, Alan Investigations began receiving exorbitant monetary investments from residents in the area, as well as multiple corporate entities globally. Interviews with these investors show that these investments were voluntary, as all were motivated by predictions of the company's future success, as well as "the founder's charisma". Alan Ghayter, founder of Alan Investigations and hereafter referred to as PoI-94707, has denied any suspicion of money-laundering to authorities in the area, and is currently battling various legal disputes. + Interview Log with PoI-94707 - Close Log PoI-94707 Interview Log 5781-A Date Conducted: 03/01/2000 Interviewer: Dr. Trevelyan Veil Interviewee: PoI-94707 ("Alan Ghayter") Foreword: Throughout the interview, PoI-94707 spoke with an intense lisp, as well as an accent atypical of a Floridian, in spite of his claims of being raised in the state. When asked, the subject claimed the reasoning was due to "Atlantic descent". Additionally, PoI-94707's physical appearance was incredibly disheveled, for reasons the subject claimed was due to his ongoing legal battles. BEGIN LOG Dr. Veil: Good evening, Mr. Ghayter. PoI-94707: (Does not respond, vaguely gestures) Dr. Veil: I assume you understand why you're here? PoI-94707: Yes. Legal bullshit. Dr. Veil: Rest assured, Mr. Ghayter, nothing here will be related to your on-going legal trouble. We're much more interested in certain… events that have transpired recently. PoI-94707: Hurrrh? Dr. Veil: Mainly, in regards to your business, or until recently, lack thereof. To my understanding, you run a private detective firm, correct? PoI-94707: Not detective. Investigator. Dr. Veil: Yes, well… simply put, your business - or even you - has no record of existence prior to the 26th of November of last year. PoI-94707: Yes. I changed my name. Dr. Veil: I see. If you don't mind, what was your old name? PoI-94707: Al. Dr. Veil: Al… Ghayter? PoI-94707: Yes. Dr. Veil: (Writing) …thank you, Mr. Ghayter. Now, about the business, would you mind sharing an explanation for its sudden appearance? PoI-94707: Very stupid question, doctor. It didn't exist until I started it. Dr. Veil: That's precisely the issue - there is no record of you ever starting it. I'd imagine that's where a fair share of your legal trouble is stemming from. PoI-94707: I did, long time ago. In my homeplace. Humans blame me when they never saw it. Aaaaaall humans are stupid. Dr. Veil: Excuse me, Mr. Ghayter? Humans? PoI-94707: Gragh- people. All people are stupid. Dr. Veil: …okay. So you did start Alan Investigations, just not under any actual official guidelines or personnel who could've verified it for you? PoI-94707: Yes.1 Dr. Veil: The buildings' sudden appearances? PoI-94707: Efficiency. Dr. Veil: Right. And do you have anything to say about the various investments you've received from local residents and corporations alike? PoI-94707: People like to invest in gators. Dr. Veil: Hm? PoI-94707: Guhh- people like investigators. Dr. Veil: (Sighs) Alright. That'll be all, Mr. Ghayter. Thank you for your time. END LOG Closing Notes: "People certainly aren't investing for his charisma, I'll say that much. I wonder if he'd consider looking into skincare routines some time. Or even picking up a razor." - Dr. Veil Footnotes 1. PoI-94707 refused to elaborate. |
SCP-5782 | safe | AUTOMATED MESSAGE The following file is located within the SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴) root database. You have selected file #567. — Station Beta, M-SCP POI: 5782-567-A: “Alexander III, Eternal Emperor of Macedonia, Hierophant of Alagadda, Conqueror of the SCP Foundation, Wielder of Universal Will, Master of All Which Flies In the Sky and Swims in the Sea" Item Number: SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567 Special Containment Procedures: M-SCP Turqoise General Alexander III of Argead (v. x∳7K℈3)1 has been assigned to lead a force of 4T legions and 19 SCPF-World Cruisers to blockade the 47 barrier realities that line SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567. If appropriate, the SCP Foundations in each of the 47 at-risk realities will be informed of the existence of SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567. Cooperation need not be fully established unless the SCPF variant is already capable of extraversal travel, in which case a referral to Station Alpha is recommended. The nature of the M-SCP will only be transmitted to realities deemed suitable by Station Gamma. A central headquarters and temporary anomalous storage universe will be created between the territory of SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567 and UNIVERSE-ℵ⇷ⶂ2⺐G⥹‧9⚹ⷛ, which has been previously surveyed and is absent of ordinary matter. The ban on bubble universe creation has been lifted for the containment of this entity. It is thought that SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567 has not yet advanced towards the capability of bubble universe creation. Universal escape routes will be prepared within each of the 47 boundary universes in the case of SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴) invasion. Only unique, or otherwise special, individuals or artifacts among them will be allowed exoversal rescue. At this time, 14 individuals and 9 SCP items from the border realities have been granted leave in case of annexation by SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567. Non-euclidean Jester-class catalysts2 are to be constructed in each of the 47 border realities. They are to be detonated if SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567 enters that respective universe, implying an invasion. In such an event, where all 47 border realities have been terminated through the use of Jester catalysts, containment is assumed to be complete. This is due to the well-established axiom that there will never be a method discovered to traverse across universes incapable of keeping atomic matter stable. Thus confining SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567 within its own boundaries forever. This concept’s legitimacy is currently under debate. Description: SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567 is a extraversal empire known as “The Infinite Kingdom of Macedonia” which has, so far, conquered 141 realities. SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567 is aware of the M-SCP and negotiations towards halting its advance have been unsuccessful. SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567 is an absolute monarchy governed by POI: 5782-567-A, a version of the military general Alexander the Great. POI-5782-567-A originates from the “Lemongrass Universe,” wherein after full subjugation of his home reality he, along with his kingdom, began to enter adjacent universes through some unknown mechanism. Curiously, genetic scans indicate that POI: 5.782-567-A is not anomalous, despite extensive interaction and usage of anomalous entities by SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567. Following the annihilation of U-134AJA91 and U-HAG☍ⷱ5O, “The Infinite Kingdom of Macedonia” gained its M-SCP designation as SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567. It was determined that there was an extremely low probability of containment by the efforts of any single SCP Foundation counterpart. This resolution was accelerated following findings suggesting anomalous entities of the object class Keter, and higher, were being deployed in large numbers during universal conquest. The following is an interview conducted between M-SCP General Alexander and POI: 5782-567-A. Mission: Ascertain a simple personality profile of POI: 5782-567-A Interviewed: POI: 5782-567-A Interviewer: M-SCP General Alexander Foreword: The M-SCP requested an interview request of POI: 5782-567-A to SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567. The request was granted per negotiations that lasted approximately 179 years. This interview took place in the throne room of the Midnight Palace on the planet of Gaugamela-VI in UNIVERSE-3☋1⪳1⾝4⚚2⛼⧣. M-SCP General Alexander brought two guards, M-SCP operative Parmenion (v. ⳝ⊣⌺∈⫻ⷄ) and M-SCP operative Cassander (v. ⩠ⴚⴆ☥⪐ⶎ). The throne room contained approximately 150 guardsmen. The guardsmen were dressed in purple alloyed thaumaturgic hexanium dotted with turquoise pearlescent beads. They constantly performed kinetogylphs3 using their hands and fingers in order to maintain a Class-M shield around POI: 5782-567-A. Surrounding the throne of POI: 5782-567-A were alternate versions of the historical figure "The Oracle of Delphi" prostrating to the throne. Floating to the right and left sides of POI: 5782-567-A were two particularly infamous commanders, Class-VI reality bender Parmenion (v. Ⅼ⊎ⲽ⧑Ⲥ⃕☄⠝) and Anomalous Entity ⱗ also known as “Cassander” (v. 5◇7┕⥋⿀⩺). <Begin Log, 5:59 am, March 5th, Universal Year: Nineteen Septillion, Two Hundred Fifty Million> POI: 5782-567-A: To whom do I owe the pleasure of meeting? M-SCP General Alexander: Good day to you, Emperor Alexander. I am a representative of the Multiversal SCP Foundation. I have come today to parlay with you regarding a few topics of which both you and I may find worthwhile. POI: 5782-567-A: Before anything else, speak your name. M-SCP General Alexander: My given name is Alexander of Argead. I don’t mean to mock you but you have probably met some of us in your conquests. POI: 5782-567-A: Haha! No, it's rather sensible of your Foundation to send me to talk with me. And don’t speak around it, you know we will soon fight against you. Despite the outcome of our battle already known, I will make sure that you survive. M-SCP General Alexander: Already known? POI: 5782-567-A: Of course. I will be the victor. I have destroyed dozens of Foundations and will continue to do so for all of time. They are truly the guardians of humanity, certainly one of the hardest foes to best. It is that legacy and respect for why I even meet with you now. M-SCP General Alexander: Thank you for the kind words. I suppose it may be useless of me to ask, but is there any possibility that you stop your aggression on other realities? POI: 5782-567-A: …Are you really Alexander? (he snaps his fingers and above him appears about 50 bodies floating wearing white. They have varied physical features, ages, genders, and are all blindfolded.) I collect them, you know. All Alexanders from all across space and time. They fail to best me, and right above you is proof. They always fight, and commendably, that is our way. M-SCP General Alexander: It seems there is still much for you to discover then. POI: 5782-567-A: How dare you! I am a conqueror, a Titan, peerless among all Alexanders. I am not one to submit, unlike you who kowtowed before SCP. Why? They can disappear with one glance of my eye! Parmenion! Make this insect kneel before but do not kill, I need to add him to my collection. M-SCP General Alexander: (grumbles) You are naive, Emperor. You do not know even a drop of reality. (M-SCP General Alexander lifts his arm and points his thumb downwards. Class-VI reality bender Parmenion [v. Ⅼ⊎ⲽ⧑Ⲥ⃕☄⠝ combusts] You think my niceties are something of a weakness!? POI: 5782-567-A: Hah! In the endless expanse, is there any meaning for such things? The path of the sword could be the path of falsehood. But if that path leads me to glory, so shall I follow. And if the path of acquiescence leads to eternal happiness, I would rather split my skull than walk that road. M-SCP General Alexander: You think you are all-powerful? POI: 5782-567-A: Perhaps I am. Perhaps, I do continue struggling, killing, conquering till the end of everything. Perhaps I die before that. Either case, I will never forsake the honor of battle. M-SCP General Alexander: What a fool…Parmenion, Cassander, we are leaving. (M-SCP personnel activate their personal interdimensional transporter) <End Log, 6:07 am, March 5th, Universal Year: Nineteen Septillion, Two Hundred Fifty Million> Result of Mission: Referencing this log, Station Beta has recommended that SCP-(5.782×10⁵⁴)-567 be irreversibly contained.

SCP-5783 | keter | SCP-5783 — Accidents Never Happen ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item#: SCP-5783 Level3 Secondary Class: class_here Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: warning link to memo Special Containment Procedures: Full containment of SCP-5783 is considered both prohibitively disruptive and undesirable at this time. Containment efforts instead focus on keeping the general public unaware of the availability of the "Segmentation" emergency service. The Telecommunications Monitoring Office record all instances of SCP-5783 calls, so their locations and semantic content can be analysed. SCP-5783 calls bypass usual tier 1 human monitoring, and should not be intercepted by TMO operatives. Subsequent to the findings in Incident-01, it is not presently permitted for Foundation staff to attempt to contact the SCP-5783 service by any means. Following Incident-02, it is also not presently permitted for Foundation operatives to attend the locations at which SCP-5783 calls claim emergencies are occurring, owing to the personnel cost. Description: SCP-5783 is an emergency service which can be contacted by telephone in any locality that has a specialised number for emergency services. If the caller asks for "segmentation"1, the call is connected via presently untraceable means to a dispatcher (collectively SCP-5783-1). SCP-5783-1 will speak to the caller, ascertain key details of the emergency, dispense instructions or advice, and will also frequently claim to have dispatched agents as a response. The semantic content of SCP-5783 calls is largely inscrutable. Conversation is carried out in the caller's language using normal vocabulary and grammar; however, the situations described do not correspond to baseline reality. Despite this, callers to SCP-5783 act as if they were witnesses or participants in genuine emergency situations and SCP-5783-1 treats calls with concomitant sincerity and urgency. No physical evidence of the emergencies described in SCP-5783 calls has been found. No SCP-5783 caller has been successfully identified. When specific locations, objects and persons are described in an SCP-5783 call, subsequent investigations once the 'emergency' has been resolved have uniformly reported that the descriptions have no correspondence to observed reality at the named location. Further, these locations are uniformly in currently uninhabited or sparsely inhabited areas. In 100% of cases where SCP-5783 has been requested by name, the emergency services call-taker has successfully connected the caller to SCP-5783-1. Despite this, call-takers involved in an SCP-5783 call have shown no awareness of SCP-5783 when interviewed and are unable to demonstrate the process of connecting an SCP-5783 call. Foundation agents who attended the given location of an ongoing emergency described in an SCP-5783 call are missing in action. Direct data of their experience was irrecoverable. (For more detail, see Addendum 3.) Addendum 1: Example call excerpts Excerpt from call 1999/01/11-05 Caller: I need.. I need segmentation. Pause while the call is connected SCP-5783-1: This is segmentation. What's the location of your emergency? Caller: [REDACTED] SCP-5783-1: Gotcha. What's happening over there? Caller: (distressed) I-i-it's my mother. She's… open. SCP-5783-1: Okay. Is she still coterminous? Caller: Sorry, I… I don't know what that means. SCP-5783-1: Let me put it another way. Is she still able to ascend? Caller: Oh! Uh, yes, yes she is. SCP-5783-1: Good. Can you try lifting her right mandible for me? Caller: Uh… okay. Caller: (speaks away from receiver) Mom, I'm just gonna move your mandible now, okay? For the nice person on the phone. There is a crunching, slithery sound. Caller returns to the phone. Caller: I did it. It's a little acidic, but it still resonates. Is that good? SCP-5783-1: Okay, you're doing great. Try to keep her calm and well lubricated. I've sent a cocoon, they should be with you soon. Excerpt from call 2006/08/04-02 - transcript is translated from original Spanish Caller: I've just been shed. SCP-5783-1: I'm sorry to hear that. Can you describe the assailant? Caller: It was a few minutes ago. I was just projecting from the corner of 14th, and they emerged from the background and took it. They were chitinous and mean. I think one of them was from Puerto Rico? SCP-5783-1: And… what still remains? Caller: Just the image. I can't feel the surface anymore. It's particularly upsetting because it was a gift from my grandmother, so I can't just buy a new one. SCP-5783-1: I'm sending a drone, ma'am. Obviously we can't guarantee we'll get it back, but if we can derive… Caller: Oh, I know. SCP-5783-1: We'll need a full statement from you. Caller: Happy to do that if it gets these guys off the tangent, you know? SCP-5783-1: Great. Watch your antenna for the drone. Addendum 2: Incident-01 For several weeks beginning 1997/08/15, the Foundation made attempts to contact SCP-5783-1. SCP-5783 call information gathered by the Telecommunications Monitoring Office was analysed in order to construct plausible false SCP-5783 emergency scenarios that would also permit the Foundation to gather information on the nature of the SCP-5783-1 entity or entities. These efforts failed, as SCP-5783-1 was able to quickly identify in every instance the fraudulent nature of the emergency. Excerpt Operative: Please help, my mother is open. SCP-5783-1: Sir, are you lying to me? Operative: No, I.. SCP-5783-1: Sir, calling emergency services fraudulently is a serious crime. If you do not have a genuine emergency, please hang up the phone immediately. Operative: But my mother's mandible is… SCP-5783-1: Not in this membrane, she isn't, and not at your angle. I'm sure this is all very funny to you, but our job is very serious and wasting our time endangers people's lives. I will terminate this call. Addendum 3: Incident-02 In an effort to learn more about the anomaly, agents from MTF-Omicron-67 ("Zeroth Responders") were placed on standby near areas that had previously been named as the location of emergencies on SCP-5783 calls. Their aim was to attend the supposed location of an SCP-5783 emergency while the call was ongoing, to see if there were any perceptible and/or recordable phenomena. On 2004/05/02, a suitable SCP-5783 call was detected by the Telecommunications Monitoring Office. The call described a situation seemingly analogous to a home invasion, occurring at the address of an abandoned cinema in Portsmouth, United Kingdom: Caller: There's two of them, I think. I thought I'd lost them with the curvature, but they must have scented me. Please come quickly, they're coming through the differential. I'm with my cousins, they're scared. SCP-5783-1: Try to remain calm, ma'am. Is it safe where you are? Caller: I don't know. I hope so. I've made a barricade from moults, and I've refracted myself so I'll be harder to find. Oh Jesus. At this juncture, a tier 2 operative from the Telecommunications Monitoring Office intervened on the call, disconnecting SCP-5783-1 and speaking to the caller directly, with the aim of keeping them on the phone. Simultaneously, agents Kang Yoon-ri and Girija Mallik from MTF-Ο-67 were dispatched to the location. TMO: Hello ma'am, this is a new dispatcher taking over this call. Can you confirm your status? Caller: (whispering) I'm stilled and sheathed. The cousins are within me. TMO: Can you describe yourself, so our agents can recognise you? Caller: Uhm, I've got a sunlit pelt and fragrant windows. TMO: …thank you. How about your surroundings? What does it look like there? Caller: I don't understand the question. TMO: What can you… uh, perceive? Caller: The two intruders are trembling. They are heavy with themselves. They seem like bad news. TMO: …I see. Caller: They're going to breach the differential. I have to stop making waves. The caller stopped speaking at this point for four minutes. Eight minutes after they were dispatched, contact with Agents Kang and Mallik was lost, with GPS, audio and visual signals becoming lost or irretrievably corrupted within 200 metres of the cinema. Forty-five seconds later, the caller spoke again: Caller: Hello? TMO: I'm here, what's happening? Caller: I'm not sure. I've never… the situation is very strange. TMO: In what way? Caller: The intruders. The curvature dilated them, but they're… wrong. They have a softness. TMO: Softness? Caller: They don't resonate properly. I think maybe they can't project? TMO: That… is unusual. What else can you, uh, perceive about them? Caller: They're not normal. It's sickening watching them twist about. I think they're confused.. maybe not even intelligent. They're things. TMO: Do… do you think they pose a danger to you? Caller: Not if they can't project, or understand curvature. Ugh, it's horrible. TMO: In that case, can you uh… intersect with them? Perceive them more wholly? Caller: That's a strange way of putting it, but sure. A rustling sound is audible on the call. Caller: Listen. They're making noises. I think they might cease. The sound of someone whimpering becomes slowly audible. Voice: (distorted) Mallik… This audio was subjected to deconvolutional transformation analysis. The resulting voice is a 64% match for that of Agent Mallik. Caller: So gross. So when are the pods getting here? Subsequent investigation of the cinema location found no trace of the caller or Agent Mallik. A thin biological film covering seventeen irregularly shaped areas of wall, a cumulative 4.5 square metres in area, was recovered. Microscopy found it to be composed of human kidney cells that were a DNA match for Agent Kang. Agents Mallik and Kang are considered missing in action. Further attempts to intercept SCP-5783 calls or emergencies have been halted while the possibility of a retrocausal event is investigated. Footnotes 1. Or equivalent terms in the local language.

Can you describe the assailant? Caller: It was a few minutes ago. I was just projecting from the corner of 14th, and they emerged from the background and took it. They were chitinous and mean. I think one of them was from Puerto Rico? SCP-5783-1: And… what still remains? Caller: Just the image. I can't feel the surface anymore. It's particularly upsetting because it was a gift from my grandmother, so I can't just buy a new one. SCP-5783-1: I'm sending a drone, ma'am. Obviously we can't guarantee we'll get it back, but if we can derive… Caller: Oh, I know. SCP-5783-1: We'll need a full statement from you. Caller: Happy to do that if it gets these guys off the tangent, you know? SCP-5783-1: Great. Watch your antenna for the drone. Addendum 2: Incident-01 For several weeks beginning 1997/08/15, the Foundation made attempts to contact SCP-5783-1. SCP-5783 call information gathered by the Telecommunications Monitoring Office was analysed in order to construct plausible false SCP-5783 emergency scenarios that would also permit the Foundation to gather information on the nature of the SCP-5783-1 entity or entities. These efforts failed, as SCP-5783-1 was able to quickly identify in every instance the fraudulent nature of the emergency. Excerpt Operative: Please help, my mother is open. SCP-5783-1: Sir, are you lying to me? Operative: No, I.. SCP-5783-1: Sir, calling emergency services fraudulently is a serious crime. If you do not have a genuine emergency, please hang up the phone immediately. Operative: But my mother's mandible is… SCP-5783-1: Not in this membrane, she isn't, and not at your angle. I'm sure this is all very funny to you, but our job is very serious and wasting our time endangers people's lives. I will terminate this call. Addendum 3: Incident-02 In an effort to learn more about the anomaly, agents from MTF-Omicron-67 ("Zeroth Responders") were placed on standby near areas that had previously been named as the location of emergencies on SCP-5783 calls. Their aim was to attend the supposed location of an SCP-5783 emergency while the call was ongoing, to see if there were any perceptible and/or recordable phenomena. On 2004/05/02, a suitable SCP-5783 call was detected by the Telecommunications Monitoring Office. The call described a situation seemingly analogous to a home invasion, occurring at the address of an abandoned cinema in Portsmouth, United Kingdom: Caller: There's two of them, I think. I thought I'd lost them with the curvature, but they must have scented me. Please come quickly, they're coming through the differential. I'm with my cousins, they're scared. SCP-5783-1: Try to remain calm, ma'am. Is it safe where you are? Caller: I don't know. I hope so. I've made a barricade from moults, and I've refracted myself so I'll be harder to find. Oh Jesus. At this juncture, a tier 2 operative from the Telecommunications Monitoring Office intervened on the call, disconnecting SCP-5783-1 and speaking to the caller directly, with the aim of keeping them on the phone. Simultaneously, agents Kang Yoon-ri and Girija Mallik from MTF-Ο-67 were dispatched to the location. TMO: Hello ma'am, this is a new dispatcher taking over this call. Can you confirm your status? Caller: (whispering) I'm stilled and sheathed. The cousins are within me. TMO: Can you describe yourself, so our agents can recognise you? Caller: Uhm, I've got a sunlit pelt and fragrant windows. TMO: …thank you. How about your surroundings? What does it look like there? Caller: I don't understand the question. TMO: What can you… uh, perceive? Caller: The two intruders are trembling. They are heavy with themselves. They seem like bad news. TMO: …I see. Caller: They're going to breach the differential. I have to stop making waves. The caller stopped speaking at this point for four minutes. Eight minutes after they were dispatched, contact with Agents Kang and Mallik was lost, with GPS, audio and visual signals becoming lost or irretrievably corrupted within 200 metres of the cinema. Forty-five seconds later, the caller spoke again: Caller: Hello? TMO: I'm here, what's happening? Caller: I'm not sure. I've never… the situation is very strange. TMO: In what way? Caller: The intruders. The curvature dilated them, but they're… wrong. They have a softness. TMO: Softness? Caller: They don't resonate properly. I think maybe they can't project? TMO: That… is unusual. What else can you, uh, perceive about them? Caller: They're not normal. It's sickening watching them twist about. I think they're confused.. maybe not even intelligent. They're things. TMO: Do… do you think they pose a danger to you? Caller: Not if they can't project, or understand curvature. Ugh, it's horrible. TMO: In that case, can you uh… intersect with them? Perceive them more wholly? Caller: That's a strange way of putting it, but sure. A rustling sound is audible on the call. Caller: Listen. They're making noises. I think they might cease. The sound of someone whimpering becomes slowly audible. Voice: (distorted) Mallik… This audio was subjected to deconvolutional transformation analysis. The resulting voice is a 64% match for that of Agent Mallik. Caller: So gross. So when are the pods getting here? Subsequent investigation of the cinema location found no trace of the caller or Agent Mallik. A thin biological film covering seventeen irregularly shaped areas of wall, a cumulative 4.5 square metres in area, was recovered. Microscopy found it to be composed of human kidney cells that were a DNA match for Agent Kang. Agents Mallik and Kang are considered missing in action. Further attempts to intercept SCP-5783 calls or emergencies have been halted while the possibility of a retrocausal event is investigated. Footnotes 1. Or equivalent terms in the local language.

SCP-5784 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5784 (Formerly SCP-$0.99-J) Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5784 is to be kept within a standard humanoid containment chamber or within the premises of the Site-19 public cafeteria. SCP-5784's containment chamber is to remain free of sharp objects or surfaces which SCP-5784 could utilise to cut into its own skin. Should SCP-5784 be harmed in any way, it is to be examined for purposeful injury. SCP-5784's arms and hands are to be restrained without Level-2 Clearance and approval from The Department of Other The Thaumaturgical Department. Should SCP-5784 retain its record of good behavior, it may be allowed a limited amount of free-roaming and socialization time with accompaniment by at least one security officer. Description: SCP-5784 is a 19 year old human male of French-Canadian descent, standing 190cm tall and weighing 88kg. SCP-5784's back is covered in tattoos, including several images of food items surrounded by Roman and Chinese characters. The ink used to create these tattoos is composed of several anomalous materials, which allow SCP-5784's anomalous properties to manifest when activated with intricate command movements of the arms and hands. SCP-5784 is capable of manifesting a variety of food and drink products through its anomalous effects, though the amount manifested is limited based on the product, typically based on the standard serving size recommended by the Canadian government. Food and drink manifested through SCP-5784's anomalous effects is wholly non-anomalous. The types of food and drink that SCP-5784 can manifest are limited by the tattoos on its back, though some slight alterations may be made to each product. The following is a list of example alterations SCP-5784 can control: The temperature of the product. The portion size, ranging from half a standard portion to four standard portions. The addition or removal of seasonings and sauces, limited by the subject's tattoos. The primary protein, limited by the subject's tattoos. All alterations SCP-5784 makes to food and drink it manifests must result in an edible dish, though the overall quality may vary. For example, the subject may not make a plastic facsimile or a version made with rotten or expired food, but they may manifest a version that contains common allergens such as peanuts, or a frozen version of a dish. Addendum 5784-01: Below is an interview with SCP-5784 on 08/25/2013 soon after containment. Transcriber's Note: Due to the heavy accent of the subject, the original interview transcribed words based on pronunciation. Below is a re-transcribed interpretation. <Begin Log> Researcher Jacques clears his throat. Researcher Jacques: Comfortable? SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: I do not see how I can be comfortable in une maison de merde such as this. Researcher Jacques: Fair. I don't even know why I asked. Even as far as interrogation rooms go this one's pretty low quality. SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Une telle indignité. Leave me until you find quarters more suiting of your future empereur. Researcher Jacques: What was that? SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Oh mon dieu, do not tell me your petit cerveau could not figure out what that meant? Even Américains simples d'esprit could figure that out. You make me ashamed to be Québécoise. Researcher Jacques: No, I understood that. I more meant the implications of what you said. SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Is it not évidente? Soon, la Confrérie de l'Encre shall reign over all, with Henri de Rochechouart at its helm! Researcher Jacques: Ah, so you're the leader of some kind of… cult? Organization? …LARPing club? SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Do not try me with such petty things as… "LARPing". That is for fools, and we are not fools. We are men of magic, sorciers! The ink on our skin gives us powers mere magicians could only dream to accomplish! Researcher Jacques: And this power is infinite noodles? SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: I can hear the mockery in your voice, garçon. Researcher Jacques: I'm at least a decade older than you… SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Yet your mind has not aged to maturity! Great magic takes practice and dedication, especially the art of Sorcellerie Tatouée! One must be willing to do anything to achieve power, even augment their own bodies! Researcher Jacques: Right, right, but- SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: There is no time for "buts"! In time, I will reach my full potential, and the runes inscribed on my flesh shall help me achieve L'Ascension! Researcher Jacques: You… you know you just have a Chinese menu tattooed on your back, right? SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Again with the mockery. You have my cell phone, correct? There, you shall see that the runes in my photo gallery match the runes on my back exactement! The tattoo artist assured me as such! Researcher Jacques: Right… SCP-5784 scoffs. <End Log> After the interview, Researcher Jacques retrieved the subject's cell phone and opened the photo gallery. The most recent image was an image of a scroll inscribed with several runes, which if evoked, would give its caster the ability to create and destroy matter at large scales. The second most recent image was a picture of Wok The Line's full menu, a Chinese restaurant in Montreal, Quebec. Addendum 5784-02: After SCP-5784's initial containment, in spite of its initial hostility, the subject has since been cooperative with the Foundation, has given information on GoI-2228, "The Brotherhood of Ink" and willingly participated in several tests and experiments. As such, SCP-5784 was granted limited free roaming time within the Department of Other along with other low-threat anomalies, which included preparing food in the Site-19 cafeteria once per week. On 01/28/2015, the O5 Council sent a request to the Department of Other head Dr. Gerald to end custody of SCP-5784 and transfer containment responsibilities to the Thaumaturgy Department. Below is the memo from O5-3 detailing their reasoning for this transfer request. Anomaly Custody Transfer Request From the Desk of O5-3 Anomaly In Question: SCP-$0.99-J Reason For Request: Due to the subject's significant connection to GoI-2228, SCP-$0.99-J should be relocated and studied by researchers who are more familiar with the group and its capabilities. While the Department of Other may deem SCP-$0.99-J as "low-threat", other members of GoI-2228 have proven capable of causing significant damage to civilian populations. It stands to reason that while SCP-$0.99-J's anomalous properties may not be as obviously destructive as its counterparts, it must be contained by a facility more capable of dealing with its potential. Frankly, without handling SCP-$0.99-J in person, any information gathered from experiments and interviews regarding its anomalous effects may be lacking in credibility without a Thaumaturgy Specialist's expertise. Furthermore, while SCP-$0.99-J may have demonstrated good behavior, GoI-2228 has a history of violent insurrections and, for lack of a better term, a lack of mercy. Allowing SCP-$0.99-J free roaming time may have been acceptable in the past, but certain anomalies, regardless of their behavior, should not be allowed such amenities due to risk. As long as SCP-$0.99-J is within your care and allowed these freedoms, they pose a greater risk to Site-19 as a whole. On 01/30/2015, Dr. Gerald gave the following response: Anomaly Custody Transfer Response From the Desk of Dr. Gerald, Department of Other Request Response: Denied. Reasoning: Firstly, the Department of Other has been more than happy to relay all information gathered from interviews and experiments with Mr. de Rochechouart to the Thaumaturgy Department; your dissatisfaction with the lack of what you believe is credible information is not our fault. If there has been any information that is contradictory to what the Thaumaturgy Department already has on file, it has not been brought to my attention. If there is any sign in Mr. de Rochechouart's actions that he is more powerful than he has demonstrated, it has also not been brought to my attention. Need I remind you that thanks to Mr. de Rochechouart's cooperation with the Department of Other, that 3 more members of the Brotherhood of Ink have been contained. Transferring custody based on assumptions that the very department you wish to transfer responsibility to has not conveyed to anyone in the Department of Other feels unnecessarily paranoid. Secondly, in accordance to the Huever "If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It" Agreement, Mr. de Rochechouart is well within their ethical rights to earn certain freedoms, given a history of compliance and provided they are still monitored by Foundation staff. The fact that you bring in the history of The Brotherhood of Ink is entirely irrelevant if they, the individual, have proven themselves otherwise agreeable. Do not be mistaken by the fact that we allow some freedom that we are relaxed with protocols, however. Mr. de Rochechouart is still under extreme scrutiny due to their relative recency with the Department of Other, and we will not hesitate to revoke their earned freedoms should they cease their cooperation with us. Mr. de Rochechouart has thrived in our care, and is well-integrated into our established guidelines of allowing anomalous expression, within reason. Transferring custody at this time would be disruptive, and ultimately it may result in a worsened relationship with Mr. de Rochechouart and a lack of the information that we both desire. Addendum 5784-03: On 09/16/2015, a containment breach involving SCP-TTKU-J injured numerous personnel within the Department of Other as well as some anomalies, SCP-5784 included. After SCP-5784's release from the Site-19 Anomaly Care Infirmary, it was determined that the back scars left from the subject's injuries altered its anomalous properties, in that certain items of food could no longer be manifested properly. On 09/29/2015, O5-3 sent yet another memo requesting SCP-5784's custody transfer. Anomaly Custody Transfer Request From the Desk of O5-3 Anomaly In Question: SCP-$0.99-J Reason For Request: After the events of SCP-TTKU-J's breach and the resulting damage to not just Site-19, but the anomalies contained within, it is within our right to revoke custody of anomalies that we believe have been mistreated or improperly handled under your care. SCP-$0.99-J's anomalous properties have clearly been impacted significantly by your negligence, and had it remained within their containment chamber at the time of the breach, it would not have been injured in the first place. Allowing SCP-$0.99-J to come into harm's way, regardless if they survived or not, is irresponsible. This is no longer a question of if you are up to the task of maintaining order within the Department of Other, but how little damage your department can cause. Had SCP-$0.99-J, or any other anomaly or researcher for that matter, perished in the containment breach, you would be facing a demotion and a decrease in funding. Since you at least managed to quell the breach without casualties, this is our offer. On 10/02/2015, Dr. Gerald gave the following response: Anomaly Custody Transfer Response From the Desk of Dr. Gerald, Department of Other Request Response: Denied. Reasoning: As generous as your offer may be, I will insist that we retain custody of Mr. de Rochechouart. Researcher Jacques, his primary researcher, has more experience with his anomaly, and his personality, than anyone else in this facility. To request a transfer while Mr. de Rochechouart is at his weakest mentally and physically will only serve to make the jobs of those in the Thaumaturgical Department harder. Consider this instead: given the funding allocated to Other, we have done an exemplary job of containing many of this organization's most dangerous, inexplicable, and otherwise obtuse anomalies. Applications for additional security and research staff within the basement were rejected by the Council for the last six months, and funding that would have been reallocated by the department was instead required for the containment of SCP-\̅\̅\̅\̅-J, an anomaly that's difficult to comprehend, let alone contain. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to prevent a breach of the veil while simultaneously allowing an anomaly total control over the Gulf of Mexico? The fact that there were no casualties in this recent breach is a testament to our staff alone, and should not be viewed as slacking on our end. I'll be drafting a request for additional security and funds formally in a separate memo, but please be aware that negligence on our part is not the cause of the breach. After several further memos between Dr. Gerald and O5-3, the Department of Other retained their custody of SCP-5784, though as part of an agreement, limited its free-roaming time to once every two weeks, and only to serve as cafeteria staff. Addendum 5784-04: On 12/24/2015, during an on-site Christmas celebration, several researchers in the Site-19 cafeteria suddenly began vomiting after consuming food manifested by SCP-5784. Upon attempting to detain SCP-5784, the subject resisted security personnel by manifesting food products as obstacles and improvised weaponry. By the time the situation was resolved and SCP-5784 was re-contained, 36 Foundation personnel had been injured, and 4 personnel had died of arsenic poisoning. Below is an interview with SCP-5784 after the event. <Begin Log> Researcher Jacques: Henri, what's going on here? Care to give any insight to why all of your food was laced with poison? SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Still so simple-minded after so long. It does not take much to gain your trust, it seems. Researcher Jacques clicks his tongue. Researcher Jacques: That doesn't answer my question. SCP-5784 scoffs, then takes out a clove cigarette from his pocket and puts it in his mouth. SCP-5784: You would not happen to have a light, would you? You could consider it your Christmas present to me. Researcher Jacques: Wha… where did you even get that? SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Does it matter? Researcher Jacques: God, just… Henri, what did you do? What did you have to gain from this? We had security watching you from the moment you were out of your cell, and not a single one of them saw you taint the food. SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: As I said, one must be willing to do anything to achieve power, even augment their body. When my powers changed after that… thing… attacked me, I learned what I had to do to achieve the ultimate power I craved. Researcher Jacques: But your injuries dampened your powers, they didn't cause you to manifest poison. SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Mes plus chères excuses. Perhaps a different point of view would help? I would show you my back myself, but… I am unfortunately handcuffed to this table. Researcher Jacques turns to Security Officer Bolthouse. Researcher Jacques: In case anything happens, non-lethal. I've had enough death today. Security Officer Bolthouse nods. Researcher Jacques approaches SCP-5784 and lifts up the back of its shirt. Researcher Jacques: Is there something I should be looking for? This is about the same as it was the last time I saw it. SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Is it? Are some injuries not a little more… fresh? As if someone, perhaps, used the edge of his metal bed frame to create new gashes and scars? Researcher Jacques is quiet as he continues to examine SCP-5784's back. SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: Oh, pour l'amour de- Can you read?! Can you not see that I removed letters in certain words so the word "arsenic" would form? It is where the Tonkotsu Ramen once was! Researcher Jacques: I can't- Oh my god… no, yeah, I can see that now… Researcher Jacques puts SCP-5784's shirt back down. Researcher Jacques: Are you telling me that you somehow, without any mirror, accurate cutting equipment or hands, carefully carved parts of your own back tattoo off? SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: You make it sound difficult. Perhaps it is for you, but not for Henri de Rochechouart. Researcher Jacques returns to his seat. Researcher Jacques: Well, thank you for telling me all of this, then. I'll make sure the first thing we do is put you in a straight jacket and keep you locked up for as long as you live. SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: You truly believe that? I hate to repeat a point but you are as simple-minded as you look! I have overheard the goings on of this facility, and you do not have the power or resources to keep me contained. You work out of a basement below people who have real power, and a real job for that matter. You would be better off trying to kill me, but you won't, because you're desperate for purpose. You're desperate to be useful. You don't want to fade into obscurity. Researcher Jacques: Okay, you can stop the monologuing. Bolthouse, please escort SCP-$0.99-J back to his containment chamber. SCP-5784 scoffs. SCP-5784: There will come a day where you call me l'empereur! <End Log> Addendum 5784-05: On 01/01/2016, O5-3 sent a memo to Dr. Gerald regarding SCP-5784's custody transfer once again. Anomaly Custody Transfer Request From the Desk of O5-3 Anomaly In Question: SCP-$0.99-J Reason For Request: It has come to my attention that SCP-$0.99-J was not only the cause of the disaster during the Site-19 Christmas Eve Party, but had been planning said disaster for several months. It is clear at this time that the Department of Other is not fit to contain SCP-$0.99-J anymore, and as such it should be transferred effective immediately to the custody of the Thaumaturgy Department. Perhaps there, they'll actually treat it like a threat rather than staff. Five hours later, Dr. Gerald gave the following response: Anomaly Custody Transfer Response From the Desk of Dr. Gerald, Department of Other Request Response: Accepted. Terms: Following discussion with the Thaumaturgy Department and Anart Department, SCP-$0.99-J is to be released into the custody of the Thaumaturgy Department with special input from the Anart Department regarding SCP-$0.99-J's tattoos. Furthermore, for sake of consistency with the primary Foundation database, SCP-$0.99-J is to be renamed to SCP-5784 in all official documentation. The Department of Other's custody of SCP-$0.99-J ends 01/10/2016. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5784" by OthellotheCat, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5785 | safe | Item #: SCP-5785 Special Containment Procedures: Following the events of Incident.5785.IV, SCP-5785's containment procedures have been amended in accordance with Ethics Committee Mandate #109 in regards to comatose anomalies. SCP-5785 is to be held within a standard humanoid containment cell within Site-80's medical wing. This chamber is to be outfitted with medical devices necessary to maintain life support. SCP-5785 is to be kept on an intravenous diet and monitored for notable changes in its health conditions. A constant stream of morphine is to be administered to SCP-5785 to alleviate the pain from its severe cranial trauma. Should SCP-5785's state of consciousness change, MTF-Lambda-71 ("Rather Nice Cadaver") are to sedate the anomaly and relocate it to the nearest vacuumized containment chamber, although this occurrence is considered unlikely given SCP-5785's current condition. Description: SCP-5785 is Daniel Chesed, a twenty-five year old human male originally from Newark, New Jersey. SCP-5785 is capable of manifesting two connected portals of equal size with the sole limitation that one portal must be located within its body. When conscious, SCP-5785 has full control over the creation, size, and location of both portals; in its current comatose state, however, the portals manifest and demanifest at random intervals, with the external portal appearing within 5 feet of SCP-5785 and the internal portal replacing a random sphincter within SCP-5785’s body1. SCP-5785 was brought to the Foundation’s attention on April 4th, 2016 due to reports of several prominent United States politicians defecating in public. Cell tower records from the areas of all incidents indicated the presence of B'nai Horin, a Jewish left-wing activist group with a focus on prison abolition. Recovery forces apprehended SCP-5785 and other members of the group at a political rally for the re-election of █████ ███████ on April 9th, 2016 after it transferred its excrement into the pants of Mr. ███████ during his speech. DNA analysis of said excrement was used to identify SCP-5785 as the culprit. Video Transcript of Incident.5785.I: NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION The video transcript previously found in this report has been fully redacted as a result of ongoing negotiations with the government of the United States of America. Individuals with legitimate reasons to view the transcript may file a standard R-194J form for access. Thank you. — Maria Jones, Director, RAISA Intake Interview: Interviewed: SCP-5785 Interviewer: Alan Smithy2, Intake Specialist for Non-Hostile Humanoid Anomalies Foreword: SCP-5785 was brought immediately to Site-80 following its apprehension. Due to its cooperation with the retrieval team and a perceived lack of aggression, minimal restraints were applied. <BEGIN LOG> SCP-5785: Hey, are my friends okay? I didn't see them on my way here. Dr. Smithy: To the best of my knowledge, they have all been released. SCP-5785: Have they? I'm really sorry, but I'd like to see documentation of that. Dr. Smithy: May I ask why? SCP-5785: Call it historically-motivated distrust of anybody who can stick a bunch of Jews in the back of a van without telling them what they did. Dr. Smithy: I'll see what I can do to assuage your concerns. For now, would you mind stating your full name for the record? SCP-5785: My full name is Daniel Joseph Chesed and I’d like my legal representation to be present before I answer any more of your questions. Dr. Smithy: I’m afraid that’s not possible at this point in time, Mr. Chesed. SCP-5785: Oh, alright, then I’m going to plead the fifth until they get here. Sorry about that. Dr. Smithy: You’d be waiting a pretty long time. I really would suggest you cooperate at this point. SCP-5785: Oh. Oooooh, okay. I get what’s going on now. Dr. Smithy: I’m glad. Now, may I ask what exactly brought you to the rally celebrating Mr. ███████? [SCP-5785 does not respond, instead displaying an expression of intense focus. A moment later, Dr. Smithy stands up abruptly, holding onto the back of their pants.] SCP-5785: I’m really sorry, but play shitty games, win shitty prizes. Dr. Smithy: Security! Get him out of here, now! [SCP-5785 is escorted back to its containment cell.] <END LOG> Closing Statement: Considering its apparent dislike for figures of authority, in-person interactions with SCP-5785 should be kept to an absolute minimum. Transcript of Incident.5785.II: VIDEO LOG DATE: 2016-04-11 NOTE: To preserve the authority of affected parties, segments of this transcript have been redacted. <BEGIN LOG> 11:25: SCP-5785 lies down on its bed and covers its left eye with its hand. 11:31: A small black shape is recorded manifesting in Secure Hallway 27H, dematerializing a few seconds later. 11:43: A small black shape is recorded manifesting in Personnel Hallway 18B, dematerializing a few seconds later. 11:58: A small black shape is recorded materializing outside the office of Vidkun Amaleki, the Site Director. 11:59: SCP-5785 smiles. 12:01: [REDACTED] 12:03: [REDACTED] <END LOG> Closing Notes: I'd like to posit that SCP-5785's abilities are focused on interlaying portals over its internal sphincters. What we've seen today, then, was it applying this ability to the iris sphincter of the eye, allowing it much wider visual range than previously assumed. As such, the current containment procedures are inadequate to prevent SCP-5785 from targeting staff. Immediate revision is an absolute necessity. - Dr. Nehorai Containment Testing Logs: In light of Incident.5785.II, revision of SCP-5785's containment protocols was redefined as a top priority. All tests were overseen and annotated by Dr. Lev Nehorai, Head Researcher. CONTAINMENT DESCRIPTION RESULT NOTES Scranton Reality Anchors installed within range of SCP-5785 No effect on directed relocation of excrement As far as we can tell, there's no actual reality-bending occurring here. This is a fully biological phenomenon. The implications are rather daunting, to say the least. SCP-5785 restrained and placed on an IV drip for 24 hours No effect on directed relocation of excrement It appears that SCP-5785 can import solid food anomalously much as it exports its waste products. Intriguing, but deleterious to containment efforts. SCP-5785 sedated for 24 hours Appearance of external portals is now random in placement Randomly appearing waste products is only marginally better than the targeted equivalent. This works as a stopgap, but we need a less messy solution for long-term containment. SCP-5785 placed in a vacuumized containment cell Successful; directed relocation of excrement ceases entirely I hypothesize that since there are, in fact, no sphincters in the respiratory system, SCP-5785's anomalous import of oxygen takes much more focus than most of its transferences. If it's still capable of importing nutrients, this has real potential as a permanent containment strategy. Addendum as of 2016-04-16: Incident.5785.III: After several days without incident, SCP-5785 resumed its aggression towards Foundation staff by targeting a security guard in a nearby hallway. A few seconds later, SCP-5785 collapsed due to oxygen deprivation, requiring immediate medical attention. Immediate revision of SCP-5785’s containment protocols was once again deemed necessary due to its apparent disregard for its own well-being. Containment Testing Logs cont.: CONTAINMENT DESCRIPTION RESULT NOTES In-person request for SCP-5785 to stop targeting Foundation staff See Interview 5785-2016-04-16 Interview 5785-2016-04-16: Interviewed: SCP-5785 Interviewer: Dr. Lev Nehorai Foreword: The following interview took place approximately two hours after Incident.5785.III. No security personnel were present at Dr. Nehorai's insistence. <BEGIN LOG> Dr. Nehorai: Mr. Chesed, I'd like to discuss a truce of sorts. If you stop targeting our staff, we would be able to amend your containment to be much more comfortable. SCP-5785: Oh, fuck off, really? Dr. Nehorai: Yes, really. I know it might be hard to believe, but I'm here to find a common ground for both us and you. SCP-5785: No, no, I mean, are you seriously going to try to negotiate with me after fucking torturing me for days? Dr. Nehorai: Torture seems like a strong word. We were trying to protect our people. [SCP-5785 snorts in a derisive fashion, crossing its arms.] SCP-5785: Protect from what? I ruined a few pairs of pants. You people locked me up, drugged me, and literally deprived me of oxygen! Dr. Nehorai: All to keep you from, well, doing what you do to anybody else. SCP-5785: God, fucking… [SCP-5785 places its forehead on the table. Approximately twenty seconds of silence.] Dr. Nehorai: Mr. Chesed? Are you alright? SCP-5785: Don’t mind me, just enjoying being able to breathe like a human being. What day is it? Dr. Nehorai: Day of the week, you mean? SCP-5785: Yeah. Dr. Nehorai: Saturday. The 16th, specifically. [SCP-5785 snorts. Approximately five seconds of silence.] SCP-5785: It’s my kid cousin’s Bar Mitzvah today. I was supposed to do Hagbah. Dr. Nehorai: I’m guessing “Mazel Tov” isn’t exactly the response you’re looking for here. SCP-5785: No, it’s really fucking not. Dr. Nehorai: We’re about eight people short of a minyan3, but I’d be happy to daven4 with you in his honor, if you’d like. [SCP-5785 raises its head from the table and glares at Dr. Nehorai.] SCP-5785: I’m barely exaggerating when I say that I would rather Human Centipede myself. There’s no way I’m going to pray with a Jew like you. Dr. Nehorai: Excuse me? What exactly is a ‘Jew like me’? SCP-5785: The kind that totally disregards pikuach nefesh5. The kind that treats human lives like they’re forfeit. The kind that sticks someone in a room with no air to keep them from embarrassing other people. Dr. Nehorai: We’re, uh, we’re getting off-track. Let's focus on that last point. Is there another way I could get you to stop targeting staff members? A way that you'd be comfortable with? SCP-5785: Besides letting me go? Fuck no. Dr. Nehorai: I’m afraid that’s not a possibility at this point in time. SCP-5785: In that case, I’m going to do whatever it takes to get the slightest scrap of vindication for having no control over my life, thanks very much. Dr. Nehorai: If this vindication is so important to you, then why not… [Dr. Nehorai stops talking mid-sentence.] SCP-5785: What, are you trying not to give me ideas? Trust me, I’ve had ‘em. And yeah, I could probably shit in your lungs instead of your pants. Fuck, I could probably piss directly onto your brain, if I wanted to. Dr. Nehorai: I doubt you would. SCP-5785: Oh, yeah? Why’s that? Dr. Nehorai: You just admonished me for not adhering to pikuach nefesh. I don’t think you’re hypocritical enough to not respect the sanctity of life after that. SCP-5785: First off, there’s a pretty big difference in ethics between not torturing someone and not killing the fuckers who’re torturing you. A rodef6 isn’t human. I’m just aware that it wouldn’t make a difference. Dr. Nehorai: I’m sorry, killing won’t make a difference? Someone would be dead. SCP-5785: Yeah, they would be. And someone else would be brought in to take their job, and I’d get stuck in a smaller cell with less air, and nothing would fucking change. From what I’ve seen around this shithole, you guys aren’t exactly strangers to violence. Anything I can do, you people can do a hell of a lot better. Dr. Nehorai: That’s… SCP-5785: So you’ve got power, and you’re using the power to hurt me. That’s fine, I’ve been there. And if I’ve learned one fucking thing, it’s that bullies like you people are absolutely dogshit at dealing with humiliation. If I came in here with an assault rifle and a belt of grenades, you’d have me in pieces within a minute, but I know for a fact that I’ve been doing damage without hurting a soul. Am I wrong? Dr. Nehorai: So, what, you’re just going to keep trying to embarrass us for the rest of your life? [Two seconds of silence. SCP-5785 sighs.] SCP-5785: Nah, I’ll give up eventually. I’m going to be realistic about that. I’m only human, after all, and I’m getting pretty fucking worn down. But while I still have it in me, I might as well get my rocks in. [SCP-5785 smiles.] SCP-5785: Or, hey, maybe I’ll snap one of these days and shit in as many fascists’ jugulars as I can before you guys put me down. That’d be a hell of a way to go down, right? Dr. Nehorai: Well, uh— SCP-5785: I’d actually like to go back to a cell now. One with oxygen, if you feel kind enough. But I’m not hopeful. <END LOG> Closing Statement: I know he puts on an aggressive front, but I sincerely believe I made inroads with SCP-5785 here. He was joking with me by the end! It is my professional opinion that there’s room for some sort of middle ground here. – Dr. Nehorai Addendum as of 2016-04-17: Incident.5785.IV: At 11:09 PM on April 16th, 2016, medical personnel were summoned to SCP-5785’s containment cell in response to a reported suicide attempt. Emergency surgery was able to save SCP-5785’s life; however, it does not seem likely that SCP-5785 will regain consciousness. Its relocation to Site-80’s medical wing has been approved. Containment procedures will be updated to reflect its change in consciousness and location. Addendum as of 2016-04-20: Relevant Internal Correspondence: To: Vidkun Amaleki ([email protected]) From: Lev Nehorai ([email protected]) Subject: Request for Formal Investigation Dr. Amaleki, This is a formal request to open an investigation into the April 16th incident involving SCP-5785. I doubt I need to tell you how many discrepancies there are between the reported events and SCP-5785’s actual condition. Dr. Nehorai Current Head Researcher of SCP-5785 To: Lev Nehorai ([email protected]) From: Vidkun Amaleki ([email protected]) Subject: RE: Request for Formal Investigation Lev, Request officially denied. Off the record, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Your research subject has gone from an aggressive Keter anomaly with a persecution complex and an elementary schooler’s sense of humor to a Safe anomaly whose main daily expense is a few dollars’ worth of janitorial overtime. Both of our lives just got quite a bit easier. Don't ruin it for yourself. Dr. Vidkun Amaleki Site Director Footnotes 1.

SCP-5786 | euclid | close Info X SCP-5786 Author: margssentif More things I made Please Sign This Petition!!! Item#: 5786 Level1 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: notice link to memo The most famous photograph of SCP-5786. Photo features former President Abraham Lincoln’s wife with an unusually detailed instance of SCP-5786 in the background, circa 18701 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation webcrawlers are patrolling image hosting and social media sites to locate and delete images of SCP-5786. Images of SCP-5786 gaining widespread attention will be debunked as an edited image or a development error by coverup agents. In the event of an SCP-5786 instance becoming corporeal, all individuals who were present at the event shall be given a convincing cover story. Usage of Class-C Amnestics and lower is authorised. All photographs of SCP-5786 taken at the event are to be destroyed or replaced with doctored versions without SCP-5786. Foundation-owned media outlets will periodically publish articles and fund advertisements describing the superiority of digital cameras over traditional film cameras. When possible, markets will be manipulated to make digital cameras more affordable. Description: SCP-5786 are incorporeal humanoid entities that become visible when captured in photographs taken using any variety of camera film. SCP-5786 instances range in transparency, colour, and form. The majority are near-invisible, featureless, and only vaguely humanoid. Some are much more distinct, even bearing recognisable facial features. Interviewed civilians who took photographs of particularly defined SCP-5786 stated a perceived resemblance between the instances and recently deceased family members. SCP-5786 are always captured in photographs of events with sentimental significance, most frequently appearing during weddings, funerals, graduations, birthdays and baby showers. SCP-5786 instances are more likely to appear in photographs taken soon after the death of a close friend or family member, with appearances declining from then on. Instances of SCP-5786 appear next to or between people in the photograph, often attempting to hug or otherwise interact with them. Individuals who have been close to SCP-5786 recall feeling sensations of warmth from an unknown source. Rarely, SCP-5786 instances have become temporarily tangible and visible to the naked eye, primarily during funerals or shortly after a death. These manifestations will disappear shortly after. Addendum: An SCP-5786 instance became fully visible inside of a chapel on 12/01/21 during the funeral of Wilbur Brooke. The attendees fled and the instance dematerialised shortly after the arrival of law enforcement. The subsequent Foundation coverup was successful. Foundation Agents recovered the following text written on the back of the funeral programme of Wilbur’s son, Jack Brooke. The handwriting was near illegible. I remember when I saw you just after you were born. Your cute little hands squeezed my fingers and I knew I wouldn't ever leave you. When you were three, we started putting aside money for your university. Even then I had the feeling that you were a smart cookie. You were ten when I got the diagnosis. I knew I would have to pull through for you and Melinda. My heart stopped beating the same day that you got accepted into your dream university. My biggest regret is not living long enough to hug you and tell you how proud I was. How proud I still am. Now here you are, a proper man, ready to face the world. I have to go now, but you're going to do big things, Jackie. And I'll be here to watch them. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5787 | keter | PlaguePJP & J Dune: V by PlaguePJP & J Dune SCP-5787 — Bad Things Happen in Philadelphia Plague's Author Page is within that big red button. Dune's Author Page is right about here ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item#: 5787 Level4 Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: {$disruption-class} Risk Class: {$risk-class} link to memo Geno's Steaks, the locus of SCP-5787. Special Containment Procedures: Foundation web-crawling team ALPHA/CYAN/JOSEPH are to disseminate instructions regarding the cheesesteak ordering process at Geno's Steaks to internet tourist forums and social media pages. Victims of SCP-5787 are to be located, detained, and provided Class-A amnestics. A nearby surveillance system has been tapped by Foundation operates, this is to be viewed on a daily basis, specifically during peak hours. A designated team has been assigned to surveil on major tourist holidays. Description: SCP-5787 is the phenomenon occurring at Geno's Steaks in Philadelphia, PA. Geno's Steaks follows a semi-strict linguistic guideline when ordering from their store. For example, a customer who wants a cheesesteak with cheese whiz and onions they would order a "whiz wit." A "whiz witout" would be a cheesesteak with cheese whiz and no onions.1 SCP-5787 activates once a patron, henceforth SCP-5787-1, incorrectly orders on three separate trips to the store. When this occurs, SCP-5787-1 will instantly dematerialize. Questioning has found that the witnessing cashier will have no recollection of the SCP-5787-1. Within the proceeding 10 to 20 minutes, SCP-5787-1 will appear across the street from Geno's Steaks, unharmed. SCP-5787-1 will then approach the shop and correctly order a cheesesteak. Subsequent investigations have found that SCP-5787-1 instances will always accurately follow the linguistic guideline. Research throughout the city of Philadelphia has confirmed that SCP-5787 is restricted to Geno's Steaks. Addendum 5787.1: Preliminary Interview INTERVIEW LOG Foreword: Heightened surveillance procedures were enacted over the course of the month; plainclothes Foundation operatives were stationed outside of Geno's Steaks and Cover Story Beta-7 ("Documentary") was prepared for action. On 7/4/2017, surveillance witnessed Quentin Rodriguez dematerialize outside of Geno's Steaks. Upon reappearing, he was approached by Agent Franklin. Franklin: Thanks for agreeing to speak with us, Mr. Rodriguez. It's important that we get a feel for how the locals respond to these iconic locations. Rodriguez: Huh? Oh. Yeah, I'm not from around here, man, but it's great and all. Just great. I'd be… I'd be eating here every day if I could. (Laughs) Franklin: Is that so? This the first time you've had a Philly cheesesteak? Rodriguez: No-no-no. I come to Philly every few weeks for work. Gotta love the cheesesteak — Geno's too. Haha… (Rodriguez clutches his head repeatedly) Franklin: Is everything alright, sir? Rodriguez: Just a bit of a headache… after, uh. Oh god. (Burps). I'll be back. (Rodriguez hurriedly jogs away from the crew, returning three minutes later. A small smattering of what appears to be vomit can be seen on the bottom of his shirt.) Franklin: Mr. Rodriguez? Rodriguez: Look, man, I don't know if I can do this, I've been… a little sick. Geno's. Great place. Love it. Gotta love a great place like Geno's. Franklin: Not a problem! One last question. As a visitor, how did you feel about the linguistic side of your order? That whole 'wit' and 'witout' thing. Were you surprised about that? Rodriguez: No… no, not at all. I completely and totally understand why they have rules like that. Tradition. Big tradition around these parts, I guess. I'd never order wrong. Gotta order right. Gotta love a great place like… a great place like Geno's. Franklin: Well, thank you for your time. (Rodriguez stares ahead as Agent Franklin goes to shake his hand. Rodriguez's hand goes limp, and for 15 seconds, Rodriguez sits motionless.) Franklin: Sir? Rodriguez: (Startled) Ah! Uh, yeah. No problem. Thank you, good luck. Researcher's Note: Following the interview, Rodriguez was detained, amnesticized, and quickly released. Subsequent interviews have provided similar, inconclusive results. Rodriguez's emotional state and clear sickness have been taken into account and give justification for a D-Class expedition. Addendum 5787.2: D-Class Investigation TRANSCRIPT Foreword: D-2392 was chosen to lead an investigation of SCP-5787. He broke the ordering guidelines two times prior to this transcript. «BEGIN LOG» (D-2392 approaches the countertop. The cashier can be seen leaning through the open ordering window.) D-2392: Hi! Can I have a cheesesteak sandwich with American cheese and onions, please? (The cashier's pupils dilate, and her skin goes pale.) Cashier: Yes, sir. Coming up right away, sir. You've made a terrible mistake, sir. D-2392: Huh— (The cashier points at D-2392.) Cashier: Reconcile and repent! (The feed flashes white. Suddenly, D-2392 is lying on carpeted flooring. He stands, finding himself in a small, elegantly decorated library. He places both hands on his back, stretching.) Still frame of D-2392's body camera. D-2392: (Groaning) Christ, my back. Unknown Voice: Great, another tourist. (D-2392 turns to his right, finding a humanoid entity resembling William Penn composed of oxidized copper. The entity, henceforth SCP-5787-2, is sitting in a loveseat.) D-2392: Holy shit! You're the — SCP-5787-2: No, I'm not the Quaker Oats guy. I can practically smell the out-of-state on you. Take a seat. (D-2392 complies, sitting in a wooden chair.) SCP-5787-2: Do you have any idea what you just did? D-2392: I ordered a cheesesteak wrong. SCP-5787-2: Very good! You ordered the cheesesteak wrong. Maybe they accept that sort of foreign chumfuckery at Pat's2, but over here? Not gonna fly. You want the history lesson, or should we just cut to the chase? D-2392: I'll take the exposition, sir. SCP-5787-2: (Sighing) Very well. We Philadelphians sit on the fine balance provided by The Glorious Wit-Witout. Steak. Cheese. Onions. Bread. Maybe peppers if you're feeling up to it. With that balance comes restrictions. Restrictions that must be followed by enough people to retain that balance, else risking a collapse, and with us, The Glorious Wit-Witout. D-2392: The Glorious Wit-Witout? SCP-5787-2: Mm. When we were conceived, we were founded on simplicity — steak, cheese, and a roll. Ergo, you describe a cheesesteak with a simple two or three words. You following? Simple. Now, what do you think happens when you complicate the ordering of such a simple sandwich? D-2392: Whatever… this is? SCP-5787-2: Catastrophe. The very scales of the universe slowly tip out of our favor. When a foolish creature such as yourself violates these simple rules, The Glorious Wit-Witout grows restless. D-2392: I still don't know what a Wit-Witout is. Do you mean like, like — SCP-5787-2: How about I show you instead? (It stands.) Come, you're wasting time. (SCP-5787-2 leads D-2392 through an arched hallway and down a torchlit stone staircase. At the bottom is a large, iron door.) D-2392: This isn't like a… this isn't a sex thing right? SCP-5787-2: You'll be wishing it was. (SCP-5787-2 pulls the latch and forcefully pushes the door revealing a large, barely illuminated chasm. In the center is a marble altar surrounded by a ring of fire.) SCP-5787-2: Come along, outlander. There are sins you must atone for. (The two approach the altar.) D-2392: Hey— look, I really didn't mean to — I apologize for offending you— (As the altar becomes more visible, a large wooden box can be seen situated on top of it. SCP-5787-2 approaches the box, prostrates itself before it, and begins chanting.) SCP-5787-2: Oh, great one! Cultivator of Carbohydrates, Sultan of Simplicity, Presider of Philidelphia, and he who is, was, and will forever be wit and forever be witout — The Glorious Wit-Witout! (The box begins to tremble.) SCP-5787-2: Bestow upon us your graciousness, as you grant the sacrament of penance to this undeserving outlander! (The rate of trembling increases as thick, black smoke pours from the box.) SCP-5787-2: Show mercy, my liege! (The box snaps open, startling D-2392. From it rises a thick, orange mass. The central point is pulled up into a rounded peak which then widens, contorting into a head-and-neck-like structure. It appears to open its mouth and moans. Below it, two appendages resembling grilled onions force themselves through, twisting into arms and hands. Pieces of fried beef float within the entity's viscous body, two large portions gathering in the upper head area, representing eyes. The bottom half of the amorphous entity is unseen, still inside the box from which it emerged.) D-2392: The fuck? SCP-5787-2: Behold! The personification of The Glorious Wit-Witout! (The Wit-Witout groans as it stretches its body towards D-2392. A gurgled voice leaves its mouth.) Wit-Witout: Penn! Why did you summon me? SCP-5787-2: Same as yesterday, my lord. Wit-Witout: Dammit! This is torture! I hate doing this. Just order your goddamn cheesesteak correctly, it's not that hard! There's even a sign! (The Wit-Witout begins to cry. SCP-5787-2 removes itself from his position of prostration and begins comforting the entity.) SCP-5787-2: Do not weep, my lord! You're going to be just fine, okay? Wit-Witout: (Sobs) It hurts so much in this form! SCP-5787-2: I’m sorry, my lord, (To D-2392) You. Eat him. D-2392: What do you mean 'eat him?' That thing? SCP-5787-2: All of him. Wit-Witout: Please fucking do it! (It moans in agony as it thrashes its body in the air.) You'll do me a favor! SCP-5787-2: You don't have a choice in the matter, and you're not leaving until you do. This is the only way. (The Wit-Witout stretches over to D-2392, gripping onto his pants.) Wit-Witout: (Cries) Please. I'm begging you. Eat me. End it. SCP-5787-2: Sir, you're embarrassing yourself. (The Wit-Witout holds its hand to D-2392's mouth.) Wit-Witout: Everything burns, please help me! D-2392: (Sighs) I need a new job. (D-2392 bites into the Wit Witout's hand.) D-2392: (Chews) Huh, not bad. It doesn't taste like cheez-whiz either. What is that? SCP-5787-2: The personification of The Glorious Wit Witout is a combination of Provolone, cheez-whiz, and American cheese. (Pause) Say the thing, my lord. Wit-Witout: Oh yeah. (It takes a shallow breath) I wash ye with the blessing of the Wit Witout, the universal scales tip ever so even. Fucking whatever. SCP-5787-2: You may continue. (Over the next 10 minutes, D-2392 manages to consume the entire humanoid.) SCP-5787-2: How do you feel? (D-2392 does not respond.) SCP-5787-2: Excellent. (The picture becomes white before showing D-2392 on the pavement across the street from Geno's Steaks. He quickly runs to a nearby restroom and proceeds to vomit for five minutes. After recollecting himself, he approaches the shop and correctly orders a sandwich.) «END LOG» Footnotes 1. Provolone and American cheese are available as well, and these can be ordered following the same guideline by substituting "whiz." 2. A rival cheesesteak shop across the street from Geno's Steaks.

SCP-5788 | safe | Item #: SCP-5788 Special Containment Procedures: The apartment complex containing SCP-5788 has been purchased by a Foundation shell corporation. The unit containing SCP-5788 is not to be rented. Description: SCP-5788 is a standard InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Compact Garbage Disposer. The integration of SCP-5788 into the plumbing of the kitchen makes removal and characterisation difficult. Nonetheless, in situ x-ray measurements reveal an unidentified mass of flesh and hair inside of SCP-5788 and running through the plumbing system of its apartment. Probing of the sink has turned up both auburn and blonde hair. Attempts to access the circuitry of SCP-5788 have revealed complex neural tissue of unknown origin. SCP-5788 was discovered when a new occupant reported screams coming from their sink while draining boiling water. The previous owners, Mark Theros and Sarah Johnson (formerly Theros), were investigated by Foundation resources. Both were reported missing four weeks before the discovery of SCP-5788. Credit card records indicate that Sarah Johnson had been staying at a nearby hotel two weeks before her disappearance. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5788" by Riemann, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5789 | euclid | ⚠ SCP-𝕐 is registered as a Class F Infohazard. Proceed with Caution. Attempts to access this file from any system not compatible with Numsafe RGU-𝕐 protocol will be automatically rejected and logged. Click here to connect to The RGU-𝕐 system via remote session. Exit System SCP-𝕐 (Formerly SCP-⬜⬜⬜⬜) Object class: Euclid No numerals, ordinals, or other words indicative of a singular, finite value may be used in any documentation related to this anomaly. SCP-𝕐 is not to be assigned any numerical metrics, even for cataloguing purposes, including Disruption and Risk Classes. This also includes the standard numerical classification, which has been replaced with the Unicode character described as "Blackboard Bold Uppercase Y" (𝕐). Information about this anomaly must be stored inside a virtual software box built to utilize a non-numerical coding system and rendering engine specifically built for this purpose, known as the RGU-𝕐 system. This system is to be installed at Foundation Infohazard Containment Site-♃, which specializes in containment via alternative-text and non-textual methods. The knowledge of the nonexistence SCP-𝕐-A is to be monitored in the general population. Individuals who discover the nonexistence of SCP-𝕐-A must be treated with amnestics. The use of memetic textual deterrents ("mipsum") may be utilized to hide discovered discrepancies. Within the period approximately equal to a full rotation of the Earth, The RGU-𝕐 system must be activated, which will generate a random number of sufficiently large value as to be statistically improbable that this number will be utilized for any purpose by humans in the foreseeable future. This number will then be added to the end of this containment file. If several days pass without being "fed", SCP-𝕐 consumes a number at random, resulting in potential catastrophic consequences for financial, computing, and other mathematics-derivative fields of science. In effect, the processes protecting this containment file are the same processes containing SCP-𝕐. SCP-𝕐 is a finite mathematical set of numbers. The most accurate definition of SCP-𝕐 can roughly be defined as "All numbers which do not exist." SCP-𝕐's existence is intrinsically tied to baseline reality. The anomalous effect of RGU-𝕐 manifests when numbers of any value are associated with it. When a number is exposed to SCP-𝕐, the number is added to the set in question, causing it to cease existing. A number which ceases to exist is unable to be processed, displayed, or even conceptualized. This missing number can easily be overlooked as the human consciousness will often fill in the missing data involuntarily. Discovery of the absent number will, however, induce some manner of mental strain and should be avoided if possible. SCP-𝕐's relationship to other anomalies is under investigation. The effect of exposure to SCP-𝕐 appears to have some limitations, as discovered through informal and formal testing: When a number is given a non-numerical symbol to represent it, such as g, SCP-𝕐 will still affect the underlying value, but the symbol itself will remain unaffected. SCP-𝕐 affects only the full number, not its individual digits. For example, if a several-digit number ABCD were to be affected by SCP-𝕐, only ABCD would cease to exist; the digits A, B, C, and D would not. SCP-𝕐 was initially theorized by famous mathematician ███████ ███ in the same year the Summer Olympics were held in Atlanta, Georgia. In a mathematics essay distributed among the Mathematics department of the University of Calgary, Dr. ███ theorized the following: The universe abides by rules, which are represented by the laws of physics and calculated by mathematics. There is a set of every countable thing: the number of atoms in the Empire State Building, the period between each crash of waves on the shore. If there are infinite numbers of these countable sets of things which exist, then it serves to reason there is a countable set which contains things which do not. As of yet, it has not been determined whether this theory, or Dr. ███'s work afterward, induced the subsequent manifestation of SCP-𝕐, but operatives in the University later uncovered the anomalous set and its effects, and developed protocols to contain it. NOTE During containment, a very small amount of numbers were affected by SCP-𝕐. The total amount is unknown. See section titled "SCP-𝕐-A". Testing process consisted of the following: Querying the RGU-𝕐 system for a number consisting of an enormous amount of digits, the practical use of which is astronomically unlikely to exist at any point in the future Adding or subtracting variables to this number to give it certain attributes, such as being a fraction, decimal, or have certain divisors Designating this new number as a lowercase alpha character, usually g Allowing the RGU-𝕐 system to simultaneously place it into an offsite text file as well as appending ("feeding") it to the metadata of the SCP-𝕐 containment file Querying the offsite file to check for data loss indicative of being affected by SCP-𝕐 INITIAL LOG Loading testing logs… INPUT: g is an unmodified number. g is fed to SCP-𝕐. RESULT: Full data loss detected: g ceases to exist. RESEARCHER NOTE: Baseline result. SUBSEQUENT LOG INPUT: All the digits of a certain number, gg, followed immediately by the digits of another number, hh, are concentrated into a combined number, gghh. gghh is fed to SCP-𝕐. The smaller numbers are not fed to SCP-𝕐. RESULT: Partial data loss detected: gghh ceases to exist. gg and hh are unaffected. RESEARCHER NOTE: It's safe to assume that constituent digits are not impacted. That's a relief. SUBSEQUENT LOG INPUT: g turned into an ordinal number by appending "th" to the end of it. go is fed to SCP-𝕐. RESULT: Full data loss detected: g ceases to exist. RESEARCHER NOTE: It appears the result is tied to the value, rather than cardinality, of the number. SUBSEQUENT LOG INPUT: g is described without numbers, using non-numerical words. The description, which is incredibly long, is fed to SCP-𝕐. RESULT: No data loss detected. RESEARCHER NOTE: It seems that if you use enough non-numbers to describe the value you're referencing, SCP-𝕐 cannot affect it. This is useful for the completion of this containment file. SUBSEQUENT LOG INPUT: The name of an individual, whose surname is also a relatively low-value number, is to be fed to SCP-𝕐. RESULT: Test not performed RESEARCHER NOTE: I theorize SCP-𝕐 would have been able to differentiate between when a numerical term is being used to represent a numerical value, and when it is not. But we can't take that chance. SUBSEQUENT LOG INPUT: A D-Class personnel is assigned a large number, g. D-g is made aware, through an audio recording lasting several hours, that this is her new designation. g is fed to SCP-𝕐. RESULT: Full data loss detected: g ceases to exist. D-g suffers a violent █████████. RESEARCHER NOTE: Tests are suspended until further notice. END LOG RESEARCHER: DR. TREYVON BUCKHANON During the initial containment of SCP-𝕐, a Foundation operative assigned the anomaly a standard item designation, ⬜⬜⬜⬜, thinking that as long as the number was not added to the containment file, it would be safe to do so. He was wrong. When this number ceased to exist, it caused extensive infrastructure outages worldwide for a short time. Foundation digital response teams were able to restore functionality to many systems before too long, by creating an algorithm that sort of…rounds everything upward or downward by a certain increment so computers don't notice it's missing. It is incredibly more complex than that, but I am hesitant to go into further details and risk associating SCP-𝕐 with any other numbers. It is good at what it does, but it is an imperfect solution. ⬜⬜⬜⬜ is missing, and every day that algorithm's attempt to patch the hole causes system errors and rounding problems in every computer system in the world. Crashes and malfunctions in everything from calculators to mobile phones to nuclear weapon silos. Cleaning up the loss of this number takes round-the-clock work of a team of mathematicians and digital engineers. If SCP-𝕐 were to breach again, we simply don't know if the world's infrastructure could take it.

SCP-5790 | esoteric-class | Item №: SCP-5790 Nonhazardous contextual imagery. Special Containment Procedures: [DATA EXPUNGED] Operational Purview: Records And Informational Security Administration; Memetics and Infohazards Division; Department of Spectral Phenomena; Office of Applied Necromancy; Department of Miscommunications Information Handling Procedures: Information about SCP-5790 (designated 𝐢5790) is to be purged in its entirety no more than 7 days after creation, as per Protocol ICON. The following purge methods have been approved: Information source Purge method(s) Official Foundation database Automated expungement by file management programs, verified periodically by Information Technology Team ITT-𝐢5790. Official Foundation physical records Creation of new physical records is prohibited. All known physical records containing 𝐢5790 have been incinerated in ritualistic ovens and pyres. Unauthorised records by Foundation personnel Documents are to be incinerated as above (if physical) or deleted without archival (if digital), and the staff member(s) in question amnesticised, demoted and quarantined for a minimum of three months. If no anomalous activity occurs within this time, the employee may be reassigned. If said quarantine is not possible, termination is deemed a satisfactory alternative. Brains of Containment Team CT-5790 Bimonthly amnesticisation and biannual rotation of personnel to prevent memory resurgence. If [DATA EXPUNGED] has already manifested, the site is to be quarantined and MTFs Mu-13 ("Ghostbusters") and Theta-0 ("Antihierophanics") are to be dispatched to the location. [DATA EXPUNGED] potential delayed manifestation, any persons with non-atheistic religious beliefs are to be terminated shortly thereafter. Any realised iconography is to be extracted from the cerebellum and incinerated. Brains of assigned mediums Memory may be removed following communications depending on the methods used. If this does not occur, a week-long course of deep amnestics is to be used to prevent the possible retention of spiritually-obtained information. Preexisting literature Search and destroy via dispatch of MTF Chi-9 ("Page Turners"). If found, documents containing 𝐢5790 are to be incinerated on-site, alongside the relevant relics, [DATA EXPUNGED], and civilian corpses. For this reason, all members of MTF χ-9 have been provided with portable exorcism equipment and trained in its usage. Brains of MTFs μ-13, χ-9, and θ-0 Amnestics administered following each SCP-5790- or 𝐢5790-related dispatch. Relevant personnel are to attend no more than two incidents invoking 𝐢5790 per annum, with the exception of θ-0, for whom [DATA EXPUNGED] core duties.

Subtle short-term procedures are also planned, [DATA EXPUNGED] increase biological similarity between cerebrospinal fluid and holy water to lower death toll. First Foundation-led 𝐢5790 retrieval effort. Additional methods of destroying 𝐢5790 may be used contextually following approval by assigned mediums. If no persons with a spiritual connection or second sight are available, consultation with a member of Level-4 personnel with "First Principles" emergency response training is advised. All persons involved are expected to seek amnestic treatment and reassignment shortly thereafter. Information Retrieval Procedures: Thanks to a focused effort by Foundation personnel to execute Protocol ICON, 𝐢5790 has been purged globally from the realm of the living. In the event that knowledge of SCP-5790 or its containment procedures is required, the following actions are to be taken: The personnel requiring the information are to submit a formal request to Senior Researcher Grahams, the current Hazardous Information Containment Liaison for SCP-5790. Requesting the information either out of personal curiosity, or for low-priority matters, is strictly prohibited. Contingent on said request being approved, SR. Grahams is to schedule an appointment between the personnel submitting the request and an assigned medium. Proxies may be used if the former displays an aversion to postmortem communications. 𝐢5790 is to be retrieved from the informational afterlife by the assigned medium, through use of dowsing, talking boards, or other permitted forms of negligible-risk necromancy. 𝐢5790 is to be treated as detailed under Informational Handling Procedures. Personnel are to note that the use of occult communications for information storage does not have any bearing on SCP-5790 or its properties, beyond eliminating the risk [DATA EXPUNGED] false idol. The above sections cannot and should not be used to attempt to discern the nature of SCP-5790. As per its official policy, the Foundation remains opposed to the use of non-human afterlives for personal or organisational gains. In the case of SCP-5790 and its ability to realise [DATA EXPUNGED], however, the use of actualised occultism to release the spirits of incinerated documents poses too great a benefit to containment to be discounted. The use of Protocol ICON as standard info-containment for infohazardous objects is under consideration, pending the development of a method of expanding the scope of SCP-5790's secondary properties.

SCP-5791 | neutralized | Item #: SCP-5791 Special Containment Procedures: Biohazard Wing 03 of Site-201 is storing the remnants of SCP-5791. The incidents surrounding its manifestation have been explained by faulty terrain causing the collapse of construction equipment, with the damage to Belmont House explained by a structural failure. All witnesses to either event have been amnesticized. Description: SCP-5791 was an organic aperture that opened in a construction site in the North York City Centre of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. At 20:02 on 30/06/2019, terrain in the site collapsed and exposed a 9m wide structure bearing resemblance to a human larynx and windpipe, extending downwards for an unknown distance. No workers were harmed and all equipment remained intact. Foundation crews were dispatched when panicked police calls regarding a "massive, spasming asshole" were intercepted.1 On arrival to the scene, Foundation specialists observed the anomaly convulsing violently, expelling clouds of aerosolized blood and non-organic dust into the air. Fearing a potential biohazard emergence, specialists began evacuating all workers from the scene, preparing to call in backup to prevent the spread of any infection vectors. This was interrupted when the anomaly was heard gasping in pained, erratic moans. The sounds matched those emitted during human speech, though the absence of a full vocal tract prevented their conversion into interpretable audio. Muffled mechanical sounds2 and background conversation could be heard emanating from an unknown point. Moments later the anomaly convulsed with enough force to destabilize the entire construction site. Damage to a crane boom's lattice caused the machine to buckle onto the main entrance, and cracks in the site's foundation caused the area to sink downwards, forming an emergent sinkhole centered on SCP-5791. Clouds were expelled throughout these events, slicking the terrain in enough viscera that climbing out became an impossibility. One worker, Sylvaine Berger, entered a roller for shelter, but the collapsing ground under the vehicle sent it tumbling into the anomaly. Reinforcements were called for. At 20:45, convulsion ceased. Lacerations formed along the anomaly's interior and the aperture collapsed inwards. Dirt and debris quickly spilled in to bury the anomaly.3 Shortly thereafter an emergency call was intercepted from the Belmont House retirement home. According to the caller, a roller had burst from the body of a resident. The resident in question was retired heavy machinery operator Kosta Walker, whose body had been laterally eviscerated after the vehicle exited the left side of his torso. Two staffers supervising Walker were killed as the vehicle collided through a wall, scattering debris, and came to a rest in the building courtyard, with the previous impacts causing further structural damage. Berger, having only suffered chest fractures and arm injuries, survived the event.4 The background conversation heard from SCP-5791 was presumably from the two staffers in question, with the mechanical sound being from Walker's ventilator. Prior to his retirement, Walker had developed silicosis from the repeated inhalation of dust at construction sites. Footnotes 1. Toronto Police Service handlers did not act on the calls; owing to the phrasing, they were presumed to be pranks. 2. As no construction equipment was being operated, this was ruled out as a potential cause. 3. Following later excavation, the only remnants of SCP-5791 were ~600 kg of assorted human windpipe tissue. 4. While amnestics were administered, Berger has since shown an aversion to all forms of construction work, and has developed an irrational fear of internal organs. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5791" by NatVoltaic, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5792 | safe | Item#: 5792 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: caution link to memo SCP-5792 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5792 is to be kept in the unused janitorial closet at the east wing of Site-164. Cameras around the halls of Site-164 should be monitored regularly as SCP-5792 follows its route. Personnel should be familiarized with the standard route SCP-5792 takes, and report any major deviations. Description: SCP-5792 is an iron shortsword believed to have originated in the Czech Republic. Prior to Incident-5792/A, SCP-5792 was contained in a small storage locker at Site-164 following POI-5792’s apprehension by the Foundation. It showed no anomalous effects before Incident-5792/A1. SCP-5792 is capable of levitation from as high as 1 meter. At most times, SCP-5792 is facing hilt upwards with its point occasionally dragging on the ground. All attempts to make physical contact with SCP-5792 are met with light to heavy resistance in the form of swings and thrusts. If left unimpeded from its usual route, SCP-5792 will not perform any actions to harm any personnel near it. All attempts to communicate with SCP-5792 result in failure.2 If locked in a room, SCP-5792 has been noted to begin to scrape at the door or entrance, gradually making a breach big enough to fit itself through. After, it will trail the halls of Site-164 scaping the ground in various sweeping motions. Site-164's floor was reinforced with metal following an unrelated breach, thus it was deemed a more efficient use of resources to let SCP-5792 follow its normal route under supervision.3 When SCP-5792's daily route through the facility is completed, it will hang itself on the tool rack of the janitorial supply closet of Site-164's east wing, where it will remain until 9:00.4 As of writing, multiple written messages have been observed by SCP-5792. All are communicated by various scrapes and marks to the office carpet via SCP-5792 and are typically written as stereotypical questions many working adults make to one another. Examples include “WHENS THIS SHIFT OVER?” and "HOWS THE WEATHER TODAY?" and "DID YOU SEE THE GAME LAST NIGHT, I WISH THE PACKERS WON". It is unknown if this shows any type of sentience on SCP-5792’s part. Addendum 5792-1: Incident 5792/A: On 09/08/2007, POI-5792 attempted to breach containment utilizing SCP-5792. POI-5792 was successful in evading the notice of nearly all personnel on the site as a result. Only one personnel was a casualty outside of Site-164. Charles Madison, a new janitor hired by Site-164, observed POI-5792 escaping, eventually leading to a struggle as POI-5792 attempted to enter the individual's vehicle. During the struggle, Madison was believed to have been killed by a stab through the heart using SCP-5792 and thrown out of the vehicle with the anomaly. While dealing with the breach of containment, Madison's body remained there for ██ days. After recovering SCP-5792, agents were unable to locate the victim's corpse. SCP-5792 was placed into its storage again where it remained for ██ days. Madison was 47 when he was killed. When personnel were dispatched to inform Madison's family of his passing in a road rage accident, the Agents recalled a family member stating that "Charlie was from a different time, he was always a little grumpy on Mondays." Further review of the similarities between SCP-5792 and Madison is ongoing. Addendum 5792-2: Incident 5792/B: On 08/09/2007, a routine inventory check for the items in storage at Site-164 found that SCP-5792 was missing from its locker. A large number of scratches at the roof and door of the locker were present when it was breached. SCP-5792 was later located in the mess hall, using its point to press the buttons of the vending machine located there. After ordering a cola, SCP-5792 lifted the can by using its grip and crossguards, anomalously moved it into the air, opened and mimicked a drinking motive, and after a moment, threw the can into the nearest wastebasket, causing it to spill. It then proceeded to carve out "I LIKED THE OLD COKE BETTER. TOO SWEET FOR ME NOW". SCP-5792 proceeded to enter an unused workspace5, and stab through the chair. Agents attempted to grab and secure SCP-5792 but were met with resistance and light injury via SCP-5792’s hilt and fuller. After the struggle, SCP-5792 carved "YOU DOING A RUN? ILL TAKE A DOUBLE-DOUBLE". Before the agents exited the space, SCP-5792 additionally carved "NO CREAM AND 1 SUGAR". Agent Raymond, who was present for Incident-5792/A, suggested bringing SCP-5792 the demands it requested. After performing its same display of "drinking" the beverage, SCP-5792 proceeded to write "THANKS TOOTS, IM NOT ME WITHOUT MY COFFEE". After Incident-5792/B's conclusion, SCP-5792 has been considerably more amicable and communicative to personnel approaching and interacting with it, despite those actions interrupting its route. Further attempts to give various beverages to SCP-5792 as a means of communication are pending review. Footnotes 1. It is to be noted that POI-5792 was heavily affiliated with the occult, and was brought to the Foundation regarding spiritual matters in ████████, ████████. 2. See Incident-5792/B for recent developments. 3. As of 10/11/2007, a group of personnel have tied the end of a broom to SCP-5792 following complaints of the distractions SCP-5792 made. SCP-5792 is unable to remove the broom end and complaints regarding the noises have ceased. 4. This behaviour shows similarities to Madison's agreed terms of employment prior to Incident-5792/A, including the stipulation that Madison was to not enter any containment chambers for cleaning. 5. Formally set up for Madison. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5792" by SleepSpell, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-5792.

SCP-5793 | safe | SCP-5793 following a Si-ling event Item #: SCP-5793 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5793 is self-contained. Foundation agents are to set up sound barriers around SCP-5793, reinforced by safety barricades under the pretense of renovation works. No personnel are to enter or interact with any of SCP-5793 components. Description: SCP-5793 is a supermarket situated on floor B2 of a JUSCO1 department store, Shenzhen, China. SCP-5793 operates indistinguishably from its non-anomalous counterpart until the arrival of a Si-ling event. A Si-ling event denotes any occasion that is widely celebrated across the country, such as Chinese New Year or the Lunar New Year. At midnight of the event, promotional banners and posters, stylized corresponding to the thematic scheme of the occasion of the day, materialize on the external glass panes at the entrance, citing large discounts2 on its items. Naturally, customer intake proliferates as people patronize SCP-5793 in droves. Supply and free space diminish, encouraging people to be increasingly intolerant of minor inconveniences, correlating to discordant attitudes towards any customer who has made bulk purchases or acquired expensive items that are marked down in price.3 At this point, the entrance to SCP-5793 closes and dematerializes. Blinds are pulled down to obscure its interior. Audio recordings indicate repeated calls to barter with other items among the customers, escalating in demand for each successful exchange. For example, customers are heard to barter daily commodities with items affordable by citizens in a higher socio-economic position, before exchanging these for luxury products such as TV sets and mobile phones. None appear to be aware of the missing entrance. After a period of time4, the blinds are retracted, and customers begin exiting; nearly all are unaffected, save for several bruises and other minor injuries. All bystanders do not recall any abnormality associated with SCP-5793, possibly due to a memetic filter. Addendum: SCP-5793 was discovered on 02/11/2003 after Foundation agents (trained against memetic effects) stationed within the vicinity of the mall spotted posters appearing into existence, promoting items sold in SCP-5793. Upon reaching, SCP-5793 underwent a Si-ling event, with customers streaming out of the entrance; one of them, Jia Huolong, a 24-year-old pharmacist operating within SCP-5793, exited with a stitch scar on his stomach, along with a cane whose price tag remained attached. Upon interviewing, Jia Huolong commented that he "felt good for helping a person in dire need". He refused to elaborate further. Footnotes 1. Acronym for Japan United Stores Company, founded in 1969; it currently has expanded to regions including Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and China. 2. Observations reveal that the percentage of the discounts spontaneously increases when customer intake is low. 3. It is unknown if these attitudes are related to natural or anomalous processes. 4. The duration of each Si-ling event varies across every occurrence. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5793" by wagyusteak, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5794 | safe | Item#: 5794 Level2 Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5794 has been closed permanently under the pretence of public safety concerns. Security equipment has been installed to prevent unauthorised access. Testing is currently suspended indefinitely following Incident-5794-B. SCP-5794 in 2009, prior to manifesting anomalous properties. Description: SCP-5794 is the main pool of Greencliff Community Recreation Centre, located in Greencliff, Wisconsin. Initially opened in 1998, the pool operated normally until a series of drowning deaths occurred in 2017. Three weeks following the first death, a pool employee retrieved the first instance of SCP-5794-1 and Foundation agents embedded in local law enforcement were alerted. SCP-5794-1 instances are paper slips containing brief messages. Each message identifies the sender and a recipient, followed by varying lengths of text. All recovered SCP-5794-1 instances have listed a drowning victim of SCP-5794 as the sender and have been addressed to close friends or family members. SCP-5794-1 instances are fully waterproof but display no other anomalous properties. Following the death of Researcher Victor Kato in Incident-5794-A, Foundation personnel are prohibited from entering the main pool of SCP-5794 until further notice. + Video Log Incident-5794-A - Close Log Video Log Incident-5794-A Date: 09/06/2017 Subject: SCP-5794; GREENCLIFF, WISCONSIN Team Lead: H. Alvarez Team Members: M. Turner, V. Kato, S. Sharpe [BEGIN LOG] Alvarez, Turner, Kato, and Sharpe stand outside the main door to SCP-5794. The team activates their recording equipment. Alvarez: Everything on? Turner: Yep. Sharpe: No problems here. Alvarez: Let's roll. Kato coughs. Alvarez: Sorry. Are you all set too? Kato: (very quiet) It's alright. Yes. The team opens the door and sets up beside the pool. Alvarez: Anything on the chemical analysis? Turner: Just water, some remaining chlorine, and trace amounts of human urine. Nothing unexpected. Sharpe: (facing away from the pool, glancing at Turner's laptop screen) Yeah, all looks normal. I don't see why it shouldn't be safe to touch. Alvarez: Good, this should be pretty straightforward then. Just grab a couple samples that we can analyze more carefully back in the lab. Any of you want to check for more of the slips? Sharpe: Whats-his-name- Alvarez: Kato. Sharpe: Kato hasn't done anything yet, he could do it. Alvarez turns away from the group to face Kato, who nods and walks to the edge of the pool, kneeling to get a better look at the surface. Alvarez: (to Sharpe, at a loud whisper) Sharpe, you can't speak like that on-duty. Sharpe: Sorry sir, it's just… well you know how he is. I don't think he's spoken to me once so it's kinda hard to remember his name. Alvarez: You'll get away with it now as a junior researcher on low-level anomalies, but be careful alright? You're a good kid. Faint splashing can be heard in the background, but the source is not visible on Alvarez's camera. Sharpe: Sorry. Alvarez: It's fine. Kato's not that bad, really. He's just shy. Guess he's just not a people person, you know? Then again, neither are we. Sharpe chuckles and Alvarez smiles briefly before turning back to the laptop's readout. Turner: Can't I get any work advice? Sharpe: Haven't you been here for four years? Turner: So? I need it more. Alvarez, Turner, and Sharpe continue to chat for several minutes. The conversation has been removed for clarity. Alvarez: Say, shouldn't Kato have found something by now? Alvarez turns back towards the pool. A dark shape is visible on the water's surface. Alvarez: Kato? Shit! Is that him? Sharpe: Oh my god. Turner: (shouting) Wasn't anyone watching him? Sharpe: I didn't think we would need to! Sharpe runs towards the edge of the pool but is stopped by Alvarez. Alvarez: Don't get in the water. Turner, call Site-392 and get a drone over here! Sharpe: They'll never make it in time! Alvarez: In time for? Sharpe: (alarmed) To save him?! Alvarez: I think we're a bit beyond that point. A retrieval team from Site-392 arrived shortly after and successfully recovered the body of Researcher Victor Kato via remotely controlled drone. The following investigation concluded that Kato likely slipped on the wet floor while reaching for an instance of SCP-5794-1 and fell into the pool, where he drowned. Testing to determine whether SCP-5794's effects contributed to the drowning was not approved. [END LOG] Three weeks after Incident-5794-A, the first SCP-5794-1 instances relating to the death of Researcher Victor Kato appeared within SCP-5794. They were addressed to SCP-5794's Lead Researcher, Dr Hadrien Alvarez. Testing is currently focussed on using Researcher Victor Kato's previous experience in the Foundation to provide further information on the anomaly via SCP-5794-1 instances. Addendum 06/07/2017: In a test conducted by Junior Researcher Sabrina Sharpe, it was determined that leaving paper slips similar to SCP-5794-1 in the water of SCP-5794 influenced the responses on instances of SCP-5794-1. + Initial Testing Log - Close Log Procedure: Messages are delivered by drone to the main pool of SCP-5794. The pool is monitored for instances of SCP-5794-1, which are retrieved for analysis. Test 1 Date: 07/07/2017 Foundation Message: Are you receiving this message? From: Victor Kato To: Hadrien Alvarez Message: Yes! Who are you? Test 2 Date: 08/07/2017 Foundation Message: This is Researcher Sharpe of the SCP-5794 research team. From: Victor Kato To: Sabrina Sharpe Message: Oh thank god, I was getting worried nobody would find my letters. Hello, Sharpe. I heard what you said in the pool… Notes: Researcher Sharpe became emotional after viewing the SCP-5794-1 instance and requested another researcher complete the remaining testing for the week. SCP-5794 Lead Researcher Dr Alvarez granted the request, citing Sharpe's inexperience at the Foundation. Test 3 Date: 08/07/2017 Foundation Message: This is Alvarez. Can you tell us a bit more about SCP-5794? From: Victor Kato To: Hadrien Alvarez Message: It's dark in here. I think it's like one of those dimension things I read about. It smells like chlorine and it's wet, but I can't really describe it in a way that makes sense. There's paper, stacks and stacks of paper, and sometimes what I write makes it out to you, I guess. Why do you need to know? Notes: SCP-5794-1 instance recovered on 15/07/2017. Test 5 Date: 16/07/2017 Foundation Message: This is Researcher Sharpe. Research Lead Alvarez is unavailable at the moment. We need the information for the SCP-5794 file. From: Victor Kato To: Sabrina Sharpe Message: They meant it when they said the job never ends. Test 6 Date: 16/07/2017 Foundation Message: They did. From: Victor Kato To: Sabrina Sharpe Message: I've already told you everything useful. Are you going to stop talking to me now? Test 7 Date: 16/07/17 Foundation Message: Testing hasn't concluded yet. Message: That's not really an answer… I guess I just wish someone would actually want to talk to me. It's very lonely in here, you know. There's nothing but me and the water. Though you didn't talk to me when I was alive either. Test 8 Date: 17/07/2017 Foundation Message: We're talking to you now. From: Victor Kato To: Sabrina Sharpe Message: Only because you have to. Test 9 Date: 18/07/2017 Foundation Message: None From: Victor Kato To: Sabrina Sharpe Message: If you talked to me earlier, wouldn't I still be alive? Addendum 18/07/2017: Junior Researcher Sabrina Sharpe called a meeting for the SCP-5794 research team to discuss concerns surrounding the contents of SCP-5794-1 instances originating from Researcher Victor Kato's death. Testing involving SCP-5794-1 instances was temporarily halted. + SCP-5794 Research Team Meeting 18/07/2017 - Close Log Date: 18/07/2017 Subject: SCP-5794 Research Team Meeting Team Lead: H. Alvarez Team Members: M. Turner, S. Sharpe, X. Zhou [BEGIN LOG] Alvarez: So, SCP-5794-1? Sharpe: Yes, sir. I just have some concerns. Alvarez: I see. Haven't gotten a chance to see any of them yet. Are they logged anywhere? Sharpe: They're um… recorded on the file, sir. Alvarez: Give me one second. (pause) Are you alright? You look a bit pale. Sharpe: Y-yeah. Just shaken up a bit from the messages, I think, which is why I called this meeting. Alvarez: (skimming SCP-5794's file) If you want, we can transfer Zhou onto message analysis and shift you onto something more lab-side. Zhou: Yeah, I can do it if you want. Sharpe: No no, it's fine. I wouldn't want to bother you. You don't have to- Alvarez: It's not him, you know. The messages — they aren't from Kato. It's the anomaly speaking. Sharpe: (mumbling) How do you know that? Alvarez: I mean, it doesn't really sound like him. Sharpe: Do we even know what he sounded like? Alvarez: (Alvarez shrugs) I did at least, somewhat. Sometimes there's no way to know for sure, but you sleep better this way, trust me. Sharpe: I want to believe it, Dr Alvarez! It's just so hard when you're sitting there and reading them and- Alvarez: I know you're new Sharpe — but you can't think like that here. Sharpe: I know, I know, I'm trying! It's just… whenever I read one of the messages it doesn't sound like an anomaly, it sounds like him. Alvarez: I thought he never spoke to you? Sharpe: You know what I mean! (Sharpe appears visibly distressed) I just can't stop thinking about how lonely he must've been, how lonely he still is- Turner: (quietly, from the back of the room) It's not your fault, Sabr- Sharpe. We all should've been- Alvarez: Turner, not now. Sharpe, it's in your best interest not to dwell on it. The messages are from the anomaly. Keep logging them but if this keeps bothering you I will not hesitate to have you transferred. Sound good? Sharpe: Alright. [END LOG] Notes: After the meeting concluded, testing on SCP-5794-1 instances was cleared to resume. + Second Testing Log - Close Log Test 10 Foundation Message: You previously stated that you were in an alternate dimension. Can you provide a further description? Can you see things, feel things, etc.? Date Recovered: 20/07/2017 From: Victor Kato To: Sabrina Sharpe Message: Not really. You can't understand it without being it. It's a state of existence and a location rolled up into one. The others are here too, the people that drowned before they called in our team, but they don't understand it. Without exposure to the anomalous, they just sort of float, if that makes sense. They aren't cognizant enough to speak, so it's still just me and the water. It's almost lonelier, in a way, to be so close to company. You'd think I'd be used to this by now though — it's always sort of been just me. I wasn't popular in school, though I suspect that's not unusual for anyone that works here, and my parents never thought I was good enough. They still don't, because I couldn't tell them what I truly do — did — for a living. My friends always had someone better. I hoped the Foundation might be different. It wasn't. Test 10 Foundation Message: I'm sorry. -Sharpe Date Recovered: 21/07/2017 From: Victor Kato To: Sabrina Sharpe Message: They say drowning is the worst way to die. I remember splashing, calling — and you guys just kept going and going, caught up in your own world until the water closed over my head. I'm still underwater, even here, the water's still choking out my lungs and chlorine is still burning through my eyes. You can say your apologies now, but why didn't you look over? Why didn't you notice me? You're the reason I'm dead. Foundation Message: What's done is done. -Sharpe Date Recovered: 22/07/2017 From: Victor Kato To: Sabrina Sharpe Message: Is it? I may be gone, Sabrina, but you could still help me. I'm not an SCP, I'm not an anomaly — I know what they've been saying to you. I'm just using one to talk to you. The others don't understand, they will never understand, they didn't understand me either. But you do. You could join me here, and I'll finally have my company. Your mistake cost me my life, isn't it only fair that I get yours? + Level 4 Credentials Required: Incident-5794-B - Credentials Accepted Video Log: Incident-5794-B Date: 01/08/2017 Subject: SCP-5794; GREENCLIFF, WISCONSIN Team Lead: H. Alvarez (offsite) Team Members: M. Turner (offsite), X. Zhou (offsite), S. Sharpe [BEGIN LOG] Sharpe stands in the observation area of SCP-5794. The remainder of the team is nominally assigned to observe from Site-392, but only Turner is actively tuned into the communication channel. Fifteen minutes elapse in silence while Sharpe conducts a survey of the area for new instances of SCP-5794-1. Turner: Nothing? Sharpe: (quiet) Nothing in the last week. Turner: It's not unusual for anomalies to be sporadic, plus I think we're mostly done with active testing anyway. Might be time to ask Alvarez to move to weekly checks. Sharpe: (distant) Yeah, maybe. Turner: Alright, I'm gonna head out to grab lunch then. You got a ride back to the site? Sharpe: Yeah. Turner: Cool, I'll see you at the weekly debrief tomorrow then? Sharpe: (brief pause) Mhm. Turner disconnects from the communication channel, leaving Sharpe alone on the observation deck. Instead of heading for her designated Foundation vehicle, Sharpe remains in the observation area. She stares through the observation glass for several minutes before beginning to speak. This behaviour was initially disregarded by the Foundation automatic monitoring program as Sharpe was noted to have a history of talking to herself. Sharpe: They didn't warn me about this, you know, when I signed up. I mean, I knew that people would die, but I didn't think about it, you know? Sharpe pauses, fidgeting with her pen. Sharpe: Alvarez is right, I'm not cut out for this job. He is, he can make himself believe that it's the anomaly speaking — and maybe he's right, maybe it is. We've been testing it for a month and nobody has a clue, but they're all just so- so cold, and I'm not. Sharpe reaches down and retrieves various instances of SCP-5794-1 from her field backpack. While technically authorized to handle instances of SCP-5794-1, Sharpe had not notified the rest of the research team that she had removed the instances from their storage locker. Sharpe: I can't do this. I can't do this job; why did I take this job? (speaking faster) Should've done something the first time, in the pool. What could I have done? Suddenly, Sharpe looks back over the water. An SCP-5794-1 instance is visible, and Sharpe quickly collects it and brings it back onto the observation deck. She inspects the instance, visibly distressed, and starts crying. The video quality is too low to determine the text, but later video analysis would detect a minor cognitohazardous effect originating from the instance. It is unknown if the effect was dampened by the video, but similar effects have not been observed in any other instance. Sharpe: (partially coherent, sobbing) I could have saved him the first time, couldn't I? Alvarez stopped me but I could've fought him off, I could've jumped in — and even if the anomaly drowned me, at least Kato wouldn't have been alo- Sharpe suddenly stops. A few seconds of rapid breathing are audible before the recording equipment is manually deactivated. [END LOG] Notes: The sudden deactivation of the recording equipment was flagged as a breach of protocol by the equipment's automatic monitoring program. When Foundation personnel arrived at SCP-5794 approximately 15 minutes later, Researcher Sabrina Sharpe was found dead in the pool, presumably drowned. All remaining members of the SCP-5794 research team are facing disciplinary action for their negligence in both Incident-5794-A and Incident-5794-B. An investigation is ongoing. No further instances of SCP-5794-1 related to the death of Researcher Victor Kato have been recovered. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5794" by Simartar, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5795-1 as seen during Operation High Court. Special Containment Procedures: Operation High Court is currently ongoing. All resources of the Foundation's local facilities are to be focused on preventing as much damage to Eastern Poland as possible. A search for the manuscripts containing the instructions required to properly carry SCP-5795 out is currently ongoing. Should they be found, they are to be transported to Site-120's Deepwell. If an SCP-5795-2 comes into contact with a Foundation terminal, Site-120 security is to engage the instance with live ammunition. Description: SCP-5795 is a complex thaumaturgic ritual which, when correctly executed, opens a gateway between baseline reality and another plane of existence, hereby referred to as SCP-5795-1, creating a seamless transition between the two dimensions. SCP-5795-1's interior consists entirely of a massive forest with a mountain near its center. No further irregularities from baseline reality were noted. SCP-5795-2 are inhabitants of SCP-5795-1. They are indistinguishable from common Fae (Homo sapiens sidhe) with the exception of being able to inhabit written files in physical or digital format. SCP-5795-1 currently encompasses the entirety of the Podlasian Voivodeship of Poland. Further information is Level 3/HIGH COURT Classified.

Sharing this file with unauthorized personnel is strictly forbidden and will result in immediate disciplinary action. ◆ Attached Addenda ◆ [+] Discovery [-] Discovery A civilian photo depicting SCP-5795-1. The manuscripts detailing SCP-5795 were originally found in Site-120's Grand Library, stolen from it following a raid on a cult organization known as "the Children." Due to numerous unidentified fingerprints being found around the location, a search for a potential thief was initiated. Three days later, a connection between the event and PoI-5936 ("Damien Nowak"), a leader of "the Children" cult was made via the analysis of fingerprints left behind within Site-120. To prevent a potentially Veil-breaking scenario from occurring, the local facilities of the Foundation initiated Code Yellow, upon which all Site-120 resources were to be diverted to locating Nowak and the cessation of any further anomalous activity. Meanwhile, residents of the Podlasian Voivodeship of Poland reported numerous SCP-5795-1 sightings. A special task force consisting of Daniel Ashworth, Jessie Rivera, and the remaining members of MTF Omega-5A were dispatched to the location of the sightings.1 [+] Operation [-] Operation In light of the scale of the emergency,2 the O4 Council3 has immediately transported all of the individuals involved with the aforementioned operation4 via the usage of Ways directly into the affected area. The following are recordings created during the event retrieved from Dr. Rivera's body camera. Date: 27/04/1985 Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force Omega-5A, Dr. Asheworth, Dr. Rivera Subject: Unspecified parts of the Podlasian Voivodeship of Poland Team Lead: Dr. Rivera Team Members: Dr. Asheworth, Om-5A-1, Om-5A-2, Om-5A-4 Foreword: Due to Operation High Court's importance, the following feed has been directly connected to command at Site-120. [BEGIN LOG] The video shows a closing Way behind the group as they enter into a forest opening a view onto a small and shallow valley. In the distance, a large mountain can be seen, with the sky around it flickering between darkness and light. Despite this, no sun, moon, stars, or any other celestial bodies can be seen anywhere. Dr. Rivera: Rivera, checking in. Is the feed clear? Command: All's fine. The group descends down the hill as a scream is heard. The entire group freezes for a moment only to continue with double the speed a second later. Dr. Asheworth: Fuck fuck fuck, we're too late! Everybody, check your weapons, we're entering into— Asheworth is cut off as a relatively small arrow strikes the tree near him. He freezes. Dr. Rivera: Jesus Chr— get back! The group hides behind a large stone located to their right as the arrows start to fly faster. All of them miss save for one, which strikes Om-5A-2's left thigh. Asheworth stops, bringing his hands together as a warm light fills his surroundings, quickly turning into a bubble. Om-5A-2 kneels, quietly groaning in pain. As another arrow enters their surroundings, it breaks upon contact with the shield. Command: <heavily distorted>: What's going on?! Om-5A-2: We're under attack by an unknown agg— Dr. Rivera: It's Faeries. Om-5A-4: What? Dr. Asheworth: Faeries, Children of the Forest, whatever! Asheworth starts to form a thaumaturgic circle around them with an unidentified white powder he pulls from a bag inside his coat. Dr. Rivera: Calm do— Command: Both of you, stop it right now, I orde— The entire valley is filled with a deafening shriek as the connection terminates itself and two members of the MTF fall on their knees. One of them is bleeding from all orifices. Om-5A-4: <Getting up from the ground>: What's going on?! Dr. Rivera: An active cognihazard, probably originating from dash two. The ritual is probably being finished. We need to hurry. Om-5A-4: What about A-2?! Om-5A-4 gets up and approaches Om-5A-2. He then conducts resuscitation techniques in vain. Dr. Asheworth: He's already gone. A second scream is heard as a strong wind fills the nearby trees. The arrow rain disappears mid-air as the sky's color changes from blue to a light green-blue. Dr. Asheworth: No no no, no no no. This is not happening! Not again! Not again— Asheworth gets up from the ground and begins to frantically look around himself. Dr. Rivera: We need to go, now! The team runs towards the mountain as further wind blows between the trees. From atop it, a humming in numerous unknown languages can be heard alongside the sky's color-shifting between a green hue and a clean blue. Command: Do you <inaudible>? Team, d<inaudible>? Dr. Rivera: Command?! Do you copy?! Command: This is Corn<inaudible> spea<inaudible>ng! Do<inaudible>t enter <inaudible> stances! Do you <inaudible>?! Dr. Rivera: Do you hear us?! Command: We <inaudible, the radio does not respond and only excretes static> Dr. Rivera: No, fuck fuck fuck fuck! What do we do?! Om-5A-4: We need to push forward. That's the only way. A gravel path begins to form around the mountain. Surrounding the mountain, a large staircase carved around it is seen. As the group approaches them, numerous large openings on the mountain can be sighted. Some are filled with nest-like structures, although no lifeforms can be detected. However, the group's cameras then pan to the top of the mountain, where a large swarm of bugs alongside other unidentified creatures can be seen. He stops. Dr. Rivera: What are you doing?! The humming gets louder as an unintelligible human male voice starts to vocalize. Dr. Asheworth: We're already too late. A high-pitched, bellowing sound emanates through the valley, and the recording cuts. [END LOG] Date: 27/04/1985 Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force Omega-5A, Dr. Asheworth, Dr. Rivera Subject: SCP-5795-1 Team Lead: Dr. Rivera Team Members: Dr. Asheworth, Om-5A-1, Om-5A-4 Foreword: From evidence gathered after Operation High Court concluded, it was deduced that the following exploration took place entirely within SCP-5795-1. [BEGIN LOG] The camera's feed connects again as it appears to be gently struck multiple times by Rivera. Rivera: Come on, come on… The interior resembles primitive living spaces, with thaumaturgic symbols, composed of a mixture of blood and mud, drawn on the walls. These symbols, illuminated by red light pulsating from them, represent "protection" or "preparation." A dim, red light pulsates from all of them, increasing in frequency with every loud hum coming from above. Dr. Rivera: Hello? Command, does anyone hear us? Dr. Asheworth: They don't. And never will. Om-5A-4: What? Why? Dr. Asheworth: The connection will never reach them. We're in dash one now. Om-5A-1: But there has to be some way of reaching them— Dr. Asheworth: There isn't. The only way out of here is up that goddamn mountain. Dr. Rivera: I've tried to compile a map of the area with some of 120's scanners, but… well, he's right. Om-5A-1: But— Dr. Asheworth: Look, I hate to be the dick here, but I'm the blood magic guy, alright? And if I say there's no way out of here — there's no way out of here. Now let's go before that option closes too and we have to live with goddamn Fae forever, shall we? Dr. Rivera: Let's go. As Asheworth heads forward, a natural staircase paven within the grotto can be seen. He quickly climbs it, getting out of sight of the camera. Om-5A-1 walks towards Rivera. The other man quickly heads with Asheworth, disappearing out of sight. Om-5A-1: What is going on with him? Dr. Rivera: <sighs> Technically and medically speaking — nothing. I'm sure deep down there's a logical reason for this but… I'm worried, Jacob. I really am. I've no longer any idea of where we are, how we are here, and who we're truly chasing. I… I really don't. Om-5A-1: Ever since Hann— I mean, A-3 passed, everything’s been— Dr. Rivera: I know. I know. They continue walking slowly in silence for the next 5 seconds. A loud noise can be heard from above. Dr. Asheworth: <muffled by the walls>: You coming?! Dr. Rivera: <shouting>: Yes! Rivera looks at Om-5A-1. Dr. Rivera: Let's go. They quickly climb the stairs before entering a 200 m² opening. They walk through a large hall, where numerous wooden tables, stools, food, bottles, and thaumaturgic symbols are scattered. On the walls, approximately 50 paintings depicting a large humanoid creature levitating in the sky. All of them are untouched, in contrast to the rest of the room's items, which are in a poor state of repair. Dr. Rivera: And what is— As a loud roar fills the cave from above, the entire team looks at the ceiling, revealing a barred opening to what appears to be an arena. At the edges of the above, snow can be seen alongside a clear sky view, suggesting it is the top of the mountain inside of SCP-5795-1. Inside of the arena, a stadium can be seen, with its surroundings filled with sitting Fae, Children of the Night, and numerous other unidentified creatures. They all seem to be humming, focused on the central spot, a throne sits atop a small platform. Three figures stand at the platform surrounding the seat; they cannot be properly seen from this angle. The humming suddenly stops, as one of the figures shouts something inaudible. Two seconds later however it resumes, three times louder than before. Dr. Asheworth: It's him. Dr. Rivera: W-what? Dr. Asheworth: It's. Him. Asheworth's glove runes are engulfed in flames which start to circle him in a serpentine-like manner. He rushes towards a naturally-carved staircase located on the opposite side of the room. As he does so, the flame starts to move frantically around him. Dr. Rivera: Daniel, sto— As Rivera starts to talk, a small earthquake moves the room. From two of the tables, a total of five Fae awaken, seemingly drunk. Om-5A-1: Jesus fuck— Three of the creatures seem to notice the group, hissing wildly. In their hands, ethereal spears form and the creatures rush towards the group. Dr. Rivera: Asheworth, get down here! He looks at them, only to continue climbing. Two more Fae start waking up, with one of them being at least three meters tall and with four arms and wings. The entity materializes four separate sets of weapons in each hand and starts to attack the exploration team. Dr. Rivera: Goddamnit, help us out! Asheworth looks at the rest of the team, visibly angered. He then looks back at the staircase, then at the rest of them again. He screams as he lunges down the room, with a spear made out of the cave's clay in his hand. As Om-5A-1 and Om-5A-4 start firing towards the Fae, Rivera backs away on one of the containers. Asheworth's flame starts to engulf the smaller Fae. The entity screams, trashing around the room and throwing its weaponry about. It appears to be blinded. As Om-5A-4 gets behind the large Fae, he stabs it with a knife. The entity tries to grab it, but he is quicker. As a result, it grabs and destroys one of the tables. The entity screams, running towards both of the MTF members. Om-5A-1 tries to run away, toppling over one of the stray items on the floor left by the destruction of the table. He gets knocked over, falling on the ground. The Fae starts to run, manifesting three swords in its remaining hands. It looks furiously at Om-5-A-1. Dr. Rivera: Get out of there, NOW! The man tries to get up, but fails to, falling on his knees again. As the Fae is about to stampede Om-5A-1, Om-5A-4 throws himself between them. He is thrown against one of the walls by the larger entity, which appears to be staggered. Om-5A-1: No! Om-5A-1 quickly crawls towards his team member, with one of his legs bleeding. Asheworth throws his spear into the Fae. The entity screams, turning into ash over the course of the next 5 seconds. As it disappears, it screams directly at the man. He does not react. As Rivera gets away from the chests she hid near, the team gathers around Om-5A-4, whose body is heavily wounded. Dr. Asheworth: Move aside, all of you! Asheworth runs towards Om-5A-4, kneeling and starting to touch the wound. Around his hands, a bright light appears. Dr. Asheworth: Come on, come on, come on! Om-5A-4: N-n… no. Dr. Asheworth: What?! Om-5A-4: It's fine. I… I understand. Om-5A-4 starts to violently cough. Om-5A-4: Leave me. Om-5A-1: N— Om-5A-4: You… you have to. Dr. Rivera: No, no we do not! Stop spitting nonsense and— Om-5A-4: It's… it's fine. It really… coughs is. It was an honor to serve… with you… gentlemen. As Om-5A-4 stops moving, the team gets up from the ground and starts walking towards the stairway. Om-5A-1 rubs his eye as they walk forward. Asheworth looks at Om-5A-1. Dr. Asheworth: I… I know… He then proceeds to look at the staircase. Dr. Asheworth: I know… but we must go forward. I'm so sorry, John. Om-5A-1 looks at Om-5A-4 for the final time before leaving. Dr. Asheworth: But that's the only way. The video log cuts as the team enters onto the colosseum stands. [END LOG] Date: 27/04/1985 Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force Omega-5A, Dr. Asheworth, Dr. Rivera Subject: SCP-5795-1 Team Lead: Dr. Rivera Team Members: Dr. Asheworth, Om-5A-1 Foreword: N/A [BEGIN LOG] The camera feed connects again as the team enters the audience, which does not seem to notice them. The creatures surrounding them appear to be a group mixed between the Children of the Night, Fae, humanoid bug entities, hooded human-like creatures, and numerous other beings that look unique to their kind. All of them have some variation of a "protection" rune engraved upon their torsos. The entire crowd is silent. The arena appears to be built within the crater atop the mountain present within SCP-5795-1. From it, the night sky can be seen, from which what appear to be paper-made origami dragons of various sizes fly alongside enormous cicada-like entities. Though they keep on coming, the ones that enter the building sit upon the stands surrounding the center of the room. Every present being there looks at the throne in the middle, near which three individuals stand — in the center Damien Nowak, at the left, Dr. MacCarthy Jr., and at the right, a glitching, human-like being which seems to be in a state of constant pain. The only individual emitting any sound is Nowak, whose voice is muffled due to the distance. Most words, however, are clear. Nowak: …ey do not secure, they steal. They do not contain, they imprison. And they do not protect, they conquer. All of them are nothing more than liars, liars who I and everyone else will not stand any longer! Dr. Rivera: <quietly, looking at Asheworth>: Who… is… that? Dr. Asheworth: Nowak. You know the rest. Dr. Rivera: And what does he have to do with… Fae and Bigfoot out of all th— Rivera is interrupted as a large Fae shushes her. Both comply. Nowak: Tell me — have they ever done anything that doesn't somehow benefit them and them only? No? He looks directly at the Fae. Nowak: Or maybe do you think that the Great Purge was good? No? How about locking your species in an alternate dimension then? You must be so happy about that, mustn't you? He looks at the Children of the Night. Nowak: Tell me — did you appreciate when your god slaughtered all of you? Well, do I need to wait for the answer? He looks at the part of the stadium in which the origami dragons and cicada-like beings sit. Nowak: What about their promise, then? Surely they must have kept it? As he says that, the entities visibly become sadder. Nowak: I thought so too. Nowak looks around himself, circling around the throne. Nowak: Friend, enemies, brothers, sisters — I brought you all here to show you that you are not each other's enemies. Do you really think all of your conflicts stem from you? Or is it the Foundation, the humans, the cancer that festers within this world that led you to battle each other? He stops for a moment. Nowak: Do you really think that even a single generation of them wanted peace? That they wanted to live in harmony? Do you really, really think that the massacres they committed throughout the years were acts of good faith? Silence. Nowak: They were not. They are nothing more than thieves; thieves of land, thieves of freedom, thieves of knowledge. And that knowledge we will use against them. Dr. MacCarthy Jr. steps ahead, presenting himself to all present. His face shows no emotions, though half of his torso is filled with gray scales. Nowak: We will use that which they thought dear to fester. We will use that they thought safe to plunder. And we will use that of which they thought good to destroy them from the inside — as without access to knowledge they have stolen from all of us so long ago and declared theirs, they are nothing! The crowd starts to cheer, with some of the entities present starting to scream. They roar, with the sound overpowering all others. Nowak raises his hand slightly. The entirety of the sound stops. Nowak: As they, they brought it upon themselves so many years ago. We do not have another choice, friends. We— Dr. Asheworth: Liar! Asheworth stands up from the seat, screaming at Nowak. His glove runes start to vibrate violently, with what looks like ice forming between his hands. Dr. Rivera: Calm d— Nowak: And who are you? Asheworth starts walking down towards the arena. Dr. Asheworth: You know damn well who I am, you piece of shit. Dr. Rivera: Ashewor— The ice between his hands forms into large spikes that penetrate the flow around him. He uses one of them as a spear and throws it towards Nowak. Nowak: Ah. I really thought I got rid of you this time. The two entities near Nowak walk towards him, trying to stop him from walking down the platform. Nowak: No no, it's fine. I'll handle it on my own. He throws his black robe off, revealing long black hair put in a bundle and a burn scar located on the left side of his face. Nowak: I should have years ago. The man walks down, running towards Asheworth, who kneels and draws with chalk around him. As Nowak is about to strike him with his fist, which starts to enlarge with what appears to be rock, Asheworth disappears, transporting himself upward. Nowak: You— Asheworth screams, landing on Nowak's head. They both entangle in a physical fight. Om-5A-1: What do we do?! Dr. Rivera: Help him out, obviously! The remainder of the team runs down, as Nowak looks at the audience, which seems to be shocked. Nowak: Help me out, idiots! As the creatures try to enter the arena, an invisible force blocks them. Rivera looks heavily focused, with her eyes closed. Om-5A-1: How do you do this?! Dr. Rivera: I… d-don… don't… know… All of the entities present on their side of the barriers start to panic, trying to find a way into the arena. All of them fail. The camera focused once again on the men inside of it. As sparks start to flicker around Asheworth's hands, they form into a flame. Nowak backs off, with the eye located near the scar starting to glow. Nowak: How dare you use my ow— The flame turns into a giant fire, directed towards Nowak. He touches the ground, which rises into a large dirt wall protecting him from the fire. Behind the wall, Nowak starts to draw a thaumaturgic circle. As the rest of the team makes their way towards the two men, the circle starts to glow. Asheworth runs towards Nowak. Screaming, he materializes an ethereal sword in his hand. As Nowak turns around, touching the ground, he creates a halberd for himself made out of the earth of the colosseum around him. Both of the men cross weapons. Nowak swings his halberd aggressively, attempting to hurt Asheworth directly rather than his weapon. Upon the fourth swing however, Asheworth shatters it by parrying its attack and touching it quickly in multiple spots. Nowak: You disgui— He is cut off as Asheworth kicks him in his knee. The man falls down on the ground. Asherworth starts to strangle him from behind. Nowak whispers an inaudible phrase, which visibly makes Asheworth lose focus. He loosens the grip, allowing Nowak to punch him in the face. As Asheworth tries to get up from the ground, Nowak pulls out a pocket knife and stabs him in the ankle. He screams, falling over. Asheworth tries to punch Nowak again, but fails to, as the man starts to crawl away towards the portal. Although Asheworth tries to catch him, Nowak gets up, limping. Nowak starts vocalizing in an unknown language again, with the rocks scattered throughout the arena starting to move towards Asheworth. He touches the ground, which sends a shockwave towards the rubble, destroying most of it and reflecting the rest. The gravel created by the disintegration of the rocks gets to Nowak's eyes. He wipes it away, somewhat shocked by the event. Rivera falls on the ground, deactivating the barrier for herself and Om-5A-1. They both enter through. Dr. Asheworth: Don't let him get away! Not now! Asheworth stands up, visibly wounded. Om-5A-1 starts to fire, attempting to terminate Nowak. Halfway through however, the bullets vanish. As the runes start to flicker violently a portal opens behind Nowak. Nowak: It's too late. Om-5A-1 tries to grab Nowak before he enters the portal, failing to do so. A grin fills the man's face as he lifts his hand. All of the Foundation staff start to levitate. Asheworth whispers something inaudible and all of them fall to the ground. He touches the ground, from which numerous spikes are created that try to touch Nowak. He whispers something inaudible and all of them shatter to pieces. Nowak enters through the Way. As he does so, the entire colosseum starts to fall apart. Rocks from the ceiling start to fall, landing near the exploration team. Dr. Asheworth: <crawling towards the portal>: This… is… not… over… yet! Nowak: <looking directly in Asheworth's eyes>: Then prove it. As the Way closes, Asheworth rushes towards it, entering at the last second. The team follows, which results in the camera which is on Rivera's clothing getting stuck on a pillar. She loses it, and they disappear out of sight. [END LOG] [+] Aftermath [-] Aftermath When Command located at Site-120 lost contact with Operation High Court's team, the entirety of Site-120's armed personnel were sent in to investigate. Although they were not found, all signs depicted in the recordings were present. SCP-5795-1 was at that time still interconnected with baseline reality, though within it, no lifeforms were found. The only thing not noted by the recordings present within was the unconscious body of Dr. MacCarthy Jr., which appeared to be heavily drugged and damaged. Although all of his Foundation clothing was still present, his Level 3 Clearance card was missing. Attempts to bring him back have been so far unsuccessful. A thaumaturgic scan of the area was later initiated, with the intended purpose being the location of the portal into which the team disappeared. Three days later, however, not a single sign was located. To where the portal lead remains unknown. Afterward, all civilians claiming to witness the event were interrogated and amnesticized. Though the investigation garnered no results, the researchers remain on-site for further research. The whereabouts of Daniel Asheworth and the rest of the team are still unknown.

All Accessing all attached files… Journal Entry 5/19/2013 So turns out, there's an SCP dating website. Great. Fun! The higher ups don't know where this came from nor do anyone else. Guess it's just something random that fucks us over. Gonna run a few tests on this thing, tell 'em if I see anything unusual. I was told to write down my notes, but I'm out of paper. On the file it goes. Journal Entry 5/21/2013 Real creepy invasion of privacy. I checked my "profile", and it was way to detailed for my liking. Written how I talk, including pics of myself. Even knows about my cat. Gross. I'm gonna avoid checking other people's profiles for now. Journal Entry 5/22/2013 Got a notif in the corner that said "All Alone on a Wednesday Night? God, you're pathetic." Fuck you too, SCP-5796. I'm done testing. Journal Entry 5/26/2013 Fine. Fine, I'll continue checking this site out. Looking through all the different sites, you don't need to be a person to use this, since I found Dr. Crow. That's fun. I looked at Site-19, didn't catalogue any anomalies below 18 so that's uh. Good as well. Gonna keep looking, lemme jot this down. PROPOSED REVISION: These profiles contain personal information, such as legal name, age, and gender preference, and are created without the knowledge of the individuals in question. However, the text style of the profiles is consistent with the manner in which the person would write. All profiles on SCP-5796 are persons who are above the age of eighteen, and are completely aware and able to consent romantically and sexually. Gonna need to change the wording but hey, I got plenty of time. I'll continue to update it. Journal Entry 5/27/2013 Turns out I'm not the only person using this site, either I gotta punish someone or act like I'm completely oblivious. She commented on my profile, lemme copy it real quick. I would say you're in major trouble, but I don't want you reporting me to the others. So keep this between us. Others? Interesting. Says her name is Kaitlan Ademola. I think, I'll check that again later. Journal Entry 6/5/2013 Alright I need to log some other stuff. That's what this journal is for. There's options to like posts and comments, and "follow" people, showing their posts. These posts are stuff whatever these people are doing, taken by..someone. Can't tell who, no reflection or anything. Gonna spy a bit on other people. Just for testing purposes. PROPOSED REVISION: These profiles contain personal information, such as legal name, age, and gender preference, and are created without the knowledge of the individuals in question. However, the text style of the profiles is consistent with the manner in which the person would write. All profiles on SCP-5796 are persons who are above the age of eighteen, and are completely aware and able to consent romantically and sexually. Frequently, the profiles will update with recent events for whatever person. I'll make it better later. Just got to text her back. Journal Entry 6/6/2013 I'm so depraved, man Jesus fuckin' christ. I'm sitting here, browsing her profile. I need to go touch grass. I contemplated commenting "kind of a MILF" under one of her pics but I realized I feel like such a creep doing that. Gonna take a break, check up with you again later. Journal Entry 6/9/2013 Alright, I'm doin' better. Someone walked into my office but thankfully he was completely oblivious to me oogling at some ladies profile. Just told him it's some scp reports and he did what he needed i guess. It was something about testing with SCP-whatever so I gave him the pass. Made me realize how weird I am. Gonna need a few more days to myself. Journal Entry 6/12/2013 She messaged me sdfaskhfhk We chatted for a little bit and she is a lot more down to earth than I first thought, incredibly nice, even called me "hun". She seems to know a bit about me but I got no clue. Might be another supervisor, her profile doesn't list where she works. Probably not relevant. I hope. Journal Entry 6/13/2013 Talked some more. Both of us like Talking Heads, she told me she saw them live once. Told her that we should meet up someday. She said her job takes up the majority of her time but she will try to fit me into her schedule. I want her so bad it's drivin me mad. (yknow. beatles reference. i still want her either way) Looked at her profile more, she loves books. I typically don't read for fun but I'll try sometime later.

You're cute. changed my schedule. im hoping she doesnt find me creepy irl Journal Entry 6/18/2013 Met her in person. She's a lot taller than I first thought. Not that its a bad thing of course (I like tall girls) but me being 5'5 and her being like. I think almost six feet was awkward. We went to this nice restaurant, we didn't mention work. She was a lot nicer in person. Kept her formal way of speaking. Gonna see if we can do something else later. Journal Entry 6/20/2013 Continued to chat, I got her number now at least. She told me she was really busy for the weekend, decided to actually focus on work stuff for now. I'll update this later. Journal Entry 6/21/2013 We talked about our life at home. Told her about my cat, Elvis Pawsley. She thought the name was really cute. I asked about her pets but she said she never had one, which makes me sad. Maybe I can invite her over? She might like Elvis. Journal Entry 6/23/2013 I told her about my family. She reminds me of my mom a bit. This doesn't say anything about me, does it? God damn it, Freud. You win again. Journal Entry 6/25/2013 Went on another date with her. Second one, this time to a much cheaper place to see if she y'know. Isn't in it for the money. She laughed at my cheesy jokes again.

SCP-5797 | keter | Item #: SCP-5797 Damaged vehicle within SCP-5797 following a Foundation-initiated OVERDRIVE event. Special Containment Procedures: All roads within a six kilometer radius of Provisional Site-23 are to be monitored by Foundation personnel, and any vehicles susceptible to the effects of SCP-5797 are to be barred from entry. This is to be carried out under the pretense that the area is too geologically unstable. Description: SCP-5797 is a ten acre lot (Provisional Site-23) occupied by the derelict Gas n’ Go Truck Stop and Café in rural Stevens County, Washington. At the time of Foundation discovery, there were twenty-one vehicles parked on the premises. Cargo vehicles weighing in excess of two thousand kilograms1 travelling within a six kilometer radius of SCP-5797 will undergo an OVERDRIVE-Class anomalous event. At the beginning of an OVERDRIVE event, operators of the affected vehicle will lose control over speed, steering, braking, and any other functions typically reliant on manual attention. In the seconds following the initiation of an OVERDRIVE event, human occupants will undergo involuntary flexion and muscle contractions, rendering them incapable of communication. The affected vehicle will then travel autonomously in the direction of SCP-5797. Saponification2 of flesh and organs begins approximately two minutes into the OVERDRIVE event. This affects not only human occupants but any livestock that may constitute the vehicle’s cargo. By the time an affected vehicle has reached SCP-5797, all non-osseous organic matter within has broken down into a viscous protein slurry. An OVERDRIVE event concludes when the affected vehicle has reached SCP-5797. Upon entering the lot, the vehicle will park itself in the nearest available space to its point of entry. All attempts to date at blocking a vehicle’s journey to SCP-5797 have failed; even with considerable damage, an impeded vehicle will persist in its efforts to reach the lot. SCP-5797 first came to the attention of the Foundation on 2019/08/15. A spate of missing truck drivers in the Colville area led to local authorities discovering the associated vehicles on the SCP-5797 lot, along with biological remains. The truck stop had been closed for three decades prior to the first recorded OVERDRIVE event. + Experiment Log - Experiment Log A number of test vehicles equipped with remote control systems were driven into SCP-5797's radius of effect. In all tests, on-board recording equipment failed shortly after the initiation of an OVERDRIVE event. TESTED VEHICLE(S) RESULT Mack Superliner wrecker and Ford LTL 9000 All fuel had been siphoned from the Ford prior to initiation; vehicle was attached to the Superliner wrecker and driven into the radius of effect. Ford broke free of wrecker and made its way to SCP-5797 in convoy with the Superliner despite its lack of fuel. Peterbilt 379 Suggestion that SCP-1872 be used in an attempt to counteract the effects of OVERDRIVE scenario. Class-D volunteer was seated at the wheel of subject vehicle to initiate SCP-1872's anomalous effects. Attempts to divert vehicle away from the OVERDRIVE course failed. Though measures were in place to free human subject from the vehicle before saponification could occur, personnel were unable to reach the truck due to its increasing speed. Subject expired and the vehicle in question reached SCP-5797. LVSR Heavy 10x10 Layers of counter-terrorism barricade were installed along the route, with a heavy military vehicle selected for the test. Affected vehicle avoided the barricades and instead pursued an alternate off-road route through dense forest, uprooting hundreds of trees until entering SCP-5797 from the rear of the lot. This was the last time an OVERDRIVE event occurred; testing had caused SCP-5797 to reach its full capacity of forty-seven vehicles. + Incident Log 2019/08/19 - Incident Log 2019/08/19 On the morning of 2019/08/19, approximately twenty-four hours after SCP-5797 reached its full capacity, a geological event caused the collapse of Provisional Site-23. This was identified as a large sinkhole, encompassing the entirety of the site and surrounding terrain. All forty-seven subject vehicles had fallen into the hole, and a successful search and rescue operation was enacted to recover sixteen trapped personnel. Three hours later, personnel reported mechanical grinding sounds and tremors emanating from the sinkhole. Subsequent exploration was unable to locate any of the forty-seven vehicles; instead, a borehole with an opening measuring six by three meters was discovered in the south-west corner of the crater. AS A RESULT OF THE INCIDENT ON 2019/08/19, THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN REVISED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CONTAINS AN UPDATED OBJECT DESCRIPTION AND APPROPRIATE CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES FOR THE ENTITY BELIEVED TO HAVE CAUSED THE COLLAPSE OF PROVISIONAL SITE-23 Item #: SCP-5797 The clean-up operation following the destruction of Provisional Site-23 remains ongoing. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5797's length, and its anomalous properties, have made adequate containment procedures exceedingly difficult to implement. Research into a large-scale containment vessel that SCP-5797 cannot burrow through is ongoing. SCP-5797 is to be monitored using probe and drone equipment. Foundation personnel embedded in the oil industry are to be on alert for damage or disturbances which may have been caused by SCP-5797. The Foundation will provide appropriate reimbursement and cover stories on a case-by-case basis. Due to the fact that SCP-5797 inhabits an area of frequent tectonic activity, tremors caused by SCP-5797’s movements are to be blamed on seismic events. Description: SCP-5797 is a biomechanical organism consisting of forty-seven segments, each comprised of a semi-truck or a similarly-sized cargo vehicle. Segments are connected by an intricate lattice of both metallic and organic matter, granting SCP-5797 a significant degree of articulation. The front segment, a 1990 Kenworth equipped with an industrial snowblower, has adapted in a manner which allows the organism to burrow through rock and hardened soil. SCP-5797 is currently active beneath the Pacific Northwest of America; since its discovery beneath eastern Washington, the organism has been tracked as far south as Salem, Oregon and as far north as Vancouver, British Columbia. Travelling at an approximate depth of 1.6 kilometers and an average speed of thirty kilometers per hour, SCP-5797 approaches the surface only in the presence of pipelines (both off- and on-shore), rigs, and other sources of oil; it is believed that SCP-5797 relies on these for sustenance. The front unit of SCP-5797 doubles as a mandible, capable of piercing steel pipes, and is equipped with rubber tubing3 through which the ingestion of oil occurs. SCP-5797 demonstrates an attraction only to man-made sources of oil. + Interview Log: Clarissa Boetticher 2020/08/21 - Interview Log: Clarissa Boetticher 2020/08/21 Gert Boetticher in 1996, a year prior to his death. Interviewed: Clarissa Boetticher Interviewer: Dr Andrew Fields Foreword: Clarissa Boetticher, whose late husband Gert had managed the Gas n’ Go Truck Stop until its closure in 1989, was located by the Foundation at a retirement home in Astoria, Oregon. Gert Boetticher died of an aneurysm in 1997. Dr Fields was posing as an FBI agent investigating the now widely-reported disappearances4 in rural Washington. <Begin Log> Dr Fields: Hello, Mrs Boetticher. I’m a Federal Agent- Clarissa Boetticher: Yes, of course. From the telephone. Agent… Fields? Dr Fields: That’s correct. Now, I've got some questions regarding the site of your old business. General kinda stuff, but I won't dig too hard if it makes you uncomfortable. Clarissa Boetticher: Oh, no. It’s a pleasure. Not that I expect to be any use, if this really is another… another Bundy, like some folk are saying. Dr Fields: Now, ma’am, don’t let’s start jumping to any conclusions. We’ve yet to find anyone, deceased or alive. It's very much an active investigation, and we've got people working day and night on this operation. Clarissa Boetticher: I heard your people’ve been snooping around the old Gas n’ Go. You know, I always expected someone would’a bought it, after Gert packed it up, and turned it into a strip mall or someth- Dr Fields: Now, may I ask you about Gert? That is, of course, if you’re comfortable with- Clarissa Boetticher: It’s fine. Well, so long as you’re not suggesting that Gert’s got something to do with it. Clarissa laughs nervously. Dr Fields: That… would be something, wouldn’t it? Nah, I'm kidding. Sorry to get all Mulder on you… Clarissa Boetticher: Well, I’ve always said, my old Gert died an angry man. Dr Fields: Angry? Violent angry, or… Clarissa Boetticher: Angry in his heart. The Gas n’ Go, that was our lifeline. I ran the store, but Gert… he was the pumps. He was the garage. You rolled in with a flat on your Pete, you’d roll right on out again with it all patched up and Gert wavin’ in your rear-view from the forecourt. Dr Fields: What made you give it up? The garage, the store, after all those years? Clarissa Boetticher: Simple. The interstates. No need to turn off anymore, drive a semi four miles through the boonies just to grab some Lays and a tank of gas. Not when you’ve got them brand-spanking new travel centers or whatever they call them. You have your BP, your Shell, you name it, and it’s all right there on the highway. And – let me tell you something, Mr Fields – you don’t got no chance when you’re up against big oil. Dr Fields: Would you say Gert held a grudge, then? Against these corporations? Clarissa Boetticher: Oh, something like that. Right up until he died, he’d go on these rants… you’d chalk it up to senility, if you hadn’t lived with him for half your life. Dr Fields: I must say, Mrs Boetticher, this is a decent place. Helluva view, as well. Pity there's too much fog to see the bridge. Clarissa Boetticher: This was the dregs, Mr Fields, of what that garage earned for us. Eighty-nine is when we shut up shop, no kids – that ship had sailed – so we put what was left in the bank. It’s just a pity that Gert… Gert didn’t make it far enough to be here with me right now. Dr Fields: I’m sorry, Mrs Boetticher. Clarissa Boetticher: Well… that’s life for you, I suppose. Ain’t nothing you could have done about it. Hell, none of this is any use to your… investigation. Dr Fields: I mean… we’re gonna have to dig the old place up, Mrs Boetticher. What’s left of it. On the off-chance something’s… someone’s buried under there. Just thought I’d let you know, before we… Clarissa Boetticher: Actually, Mr Fields, one more thing. You'll find someone under there, but… it's not going to be any of the poor folk you're looking for. Dr Fields: Oh? Clarissa Boetticher: It's… when Gert died, we took him back there to, you know, rest. I hope that wasn't breaking any laws, or… Dr Fields: Environmental law is not my jurisdiction, ma'am, but it's my understanding you still owned the land at the time of his death. Clarissa Boetticher: I just… I should have mentioned it sooner, Mr Fields. So used to trying to forget all about it, put it to the back of my mind. Dr Fields: And that's okay. I know what it's like to bury a loved one. Clarissa Boetticher: Not… not like that. When we put him there, his body… his body… Dr Fields: Ma'am? Clarissa Boetticher: It's like he started melting… the skin just drip… dripping away. We threw the soil down over him fast as we could – couldn't afford no casket – and that was that. Dr Fields: Melting? Clarissa Boetticher: Yeah, like… you know what, Mr Fields? It's weird, 'cause the way I remember it, all runny like that… it was just like oil. <End Log> Closing Statement: The skeletal remains of Gert Boetticher were recovered from the crater at Provisional Site-23 and transferred to an East Coast facility for analysis. To date, SCP-5797 remains an active anomaly beneath the Pacific Northwest. + Addendum 2020/06/28 - Addendum 2020/06/28 Excerpt from CNN article, 2020/06/28 MORE PRICE HIKES EXPECTED AFTER DISASTROUS YEAR FOR NORTH AMERICAN OIL By Hayley North, CNN Updated 1431 EST June 28, 2020 A joint body of North American oil executives has released its internal report on a fiscal year that some analysts have described as "catastrophic". Reasons cited include earthquakes, poor maintenance, and several acts of sabotage by eco-terrorist movements. Losses have been blamed primarily on a series of incidents involving infrastructure, including faulty rigs and damaged pipelines - these alone have cost major oil firms over six billion dollars in equipment damage. Critics, however, say that many of these damages could have been largely avoidable. Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders addressed crowds at his rally in Tulsa last night, saying that nationalization of the industry "should never be off the cards." Over the course of twelve fiscal months, the United States and Canada have seen the price of crude oil and gasoline rise by as much as five percent, a number which is projected to rise if current trends continue. Increased seismic activity on the north-western coast has raised additional concerns about the long-term viability of drilling and pipeline projects in the region. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5798 | safe | by J Dune SCP-5798 - X Image Credits ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item#: 5798 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo The locus of SCP-5798 Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force Site-103 O. Michael Saint S. Haddow NA The drain SCP-5798 frequently surfaces from Special Containment Procedures: The building containing SCP-5798 has been purchased by the Foundation and shuttered from public access. Two Foundation guard personnel are to be stationed on-site for the purposes of deterring trespassing. Description: SCP-5798 is an entity of indeterminate length residing in the plumbing system of a YMCA1 building in █████ ██████, Florida. Subterranean imaging techniques have revealed that SCP-5798's length takes up the entirety of the building's plumbing system. The entity's physical appearance is that of a mass of flesh, terminating in several tentacle-like appendages. SCP-5798's epidermal coloration is entirely transparent, and as a result, veins, muscle tissue, and small, blonde hairs have been observed as part of the entity. SCP-5798 is mostly dormant, and has only been observed to surface for brief periods of time through a small drainage gate located in the shower of a men's locker-room, fitting its appendages through the slots on the grate. The entity is capable of extending up to 1.2 meters from the drain. SCP-5798 is sapient, and is capable of communicating coherently in English. (See Addendum.5798.1) Addendum.5798.1: Incident Log Initial research of SCP-5798 was conducted by Junior Researcher Haddow. While tuning subterranean radar equipment inside the locker room, the following events occurred, a log of which has been transcribed from surveillance footage and can be found below. BEGIN LOG Researcher Haddow sits in front of the shower, taking notes. A voice is heard, coming from the drain. SCP-5798: Hey! Haddow: Huh? Haddow looks up from his notes and turns his head. SCP-5798: I'm over here, bud. Down the drain. Haddow: Oh. SCP-5798: That's it? 'Oh'? You talk to someone like me often? Haddow: I just… wasn't aware you could speak. Believe it or not, you're normal compared to some of the things I conversed with over the past week. SCP-5798: Seriously? You work at a 7-11 or something? Haddow: Practically. Oh, I guess they'll want me to ask you questions. Let's see, uh… you have a name? SCP-5798: Don't think so. Haddow: What are you? SCP-5798: Don't care. Haddow: (Gestures) Mm, how'd you get into, uh, your situation? SCP-5798: Don't know. Haddow: GOD— (Exhales) Sorry. I'm just, I can't give answers like that. They want information. SCP-5798: Shit, well, I'm really sorry, man. I genuinely can't answer those questions. Who's 'they'? Haddow: My bosses. Look, even if you have to make something up, I won't know. I just need research credits, please. Haddow brings his left hand to his temple and begins massaging it. SCP-5798: I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. I just don't think about those things, y'know? I apologize. Haddow: It's… it's fine. I'm fine. SCP-5798: You sure about that, man? I promise, you can talk to me about it. Haddow: W— What? I mean— Christ, I'm talking to a fucking drain monster. This is ridiculous. SCP-5798: There's no need to be prejudiced, I can speak and think just as well as you can. I'm willing to lend an ear, if you think it would help. Just pretend I'm not here and speak your mind. No filter. Haddow: You sure? I mean, I'd sound unhinged. I'm already talking to a— SCP-5798: A drain creature, I know. Just give it a shot, dude. I won't judge. Haddow: (Pauses) Fine. (Inhales) No. God, no, I'm not alright. I just— SCP-5798: This is how healing happens. Haddow: I'm overworked, I'm exhausted, I'm lonely— I'm still hundreds of thousands of dollars in-debt, and you'd think a trillion dollar organization would take care of that but they don't. I do pointless research all day in hopes of maybe, MAYBE, getting a paid vacation one year, and a complimentary plaque in the Site break room or some shit. Sure, if I'm lucky enough to be so useless to the Foundation that they actually let me go, I'll be able to retire at 60, where I can own a nice little compensation house for me to fuck off and die in peace. That's if I don't lose my life talking to a fucking drain-snake or end up in a wheelchair because I looked at a book the wrong way on a Tuesday or some other contrived bullshit. Haddow groans and begins sobbing into his hands. SCP-5798: Let it all out, bud. Let it all out. I'm listening. Haddow: Girls don't like me, guys don't like me, hell, at this point my fucking hand doesn't like me either. I just— I just— I have so much work due all the time and I'm shit at time management and I have to ask for a deadline extension and— And it never ends! I haven't slept more than 4 hours in YEARS! YEARS! Haddow continues crying. SCP-5798: Jeez, I… uh, that's awful dude. I never realized you guys up there had it so bad. Haddow: (Sniffling) Only… if… you're… POOR. SCP-5798: I don't mean to make you jealous, but I never had to deal with anything like that. Haddow: What would you know about anything? You're a fucking drain-snake! SCP-5798: Hey, I'm pretty cultured! Like, I got it all down here. I can sleep as much as I want, watch movies all day— Haddow: GOD— wait, really? SCP-5798: Totally, dude. Movies, TV Shows, games, YouTube, whatever. Haddow: Well, now I'm interested. How do you do all that? SCP-5798: No clue. I just think about it really hard and it happens. I've always been able to do it. I basically spend all my free time online. (Laughs) Haddow: So you… you have internet, you sleep as much as you want, and you… well, what else do you do? How do you occupy yourself all day? SCP-5798: Like I said, podcasts, message boards, Warcraft. Speaking of which, I do have a raid coming up in 20, so I might have to step away for a bit, if that's good with you. Haddow: Isn't that a paid game? SCP-5798: Bitcoin. You ever try crypto, dude? It's the future, I'm telling you. Haddow: Man, it sounds great down there. SCP-5798: Life's just better. You'd probably enjoy it, and I take it you're not much of a socialite anyways, but the only downside about living down here is that it gets a little lonely. Haddow: Can't you just talk to people online? SCP-5798: Yeah, but it's just not the same. Why do you think I started talking to you? Haddow: Good point. SCP-5798: Been getting into writing recently. Helps with the introspection. Haddow: You… write? SCP-5798: Whenever I want, for as long as I want. Haddow: That's all I've ever wanted to do! SCP-5798: Down here you'd be able to write all day! Haddow: You're so right! I, uh, want to be a romance author, but I'm too scared to actually go through with it. (Laughs) SCP-5798: HELL yeah, that's the spirit! I'm telling you, come down here, dude. I promise, you'd love it. I'd get a friend, you'd get the life you want to live— it'd all work out! Haddow: Come down there? SCP-5798: Yeah, I can bring you down here. Wouldn't that be neat? Haddow: I mean, I couldn't— SCP-5798: Your call, suit yourself. Something's telling me you're going to regret it if you stay. Haddow: You know what? You're right! Fuck this! Haddow throws his notebook and pen down. He pushes over a stack of imaging equipment. Haddow: Fuck you, Foundation! I'm living my own life! SCP-5798: Fuck yeah, you are! I mean, uh, I don't want to pressure you or anything. As soon as you step into the shower I'm gonna pull you down here, just so you— Haddow leaps into the shower. Haddow: I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm finally FREE! SCP-5798 emerges from the grate, extending upwards and tracing its appendages on its surroundings. The entity lunges forward, wraps its appendages around Haddow's right ankle, and pulls him towards the drain. Haddow gleefully shouts. It uses another appendage to bring Haddow's left ankle closer to the grate, and pulls with enough force to begin pushing the bottoms of Haddow's feet through the holes of the drain. Haddow screams, and the sound of skin ripping is audible through the locker room. By anomalous means, the entity manages to pull both of Haddow's feet through the grate. Blood and excess tissue fills the shower floor. SCP-5798 pulls Haddow's ankles, contorting the bone to slip through the holes. Audible grinding of the cartilage is heard, and cracking sounds are intermediated with Haddow's increasingly distressed vocalizations. Haddow passes out and regurgitates a mixture of blood and stomach contents. A loud crunching noise is heard as SCP-5798 snaps the tibia and fibula of Researcher Haddow's lower legs. Several more appendages emerge from the grate to retrieve excess skin. Haddow seizes and continues to vomit. In his thrashing, he has broken several teeth, and his nose appears to be displaced. Haddow appears to regain consciousness, and vocalizes unintelligibly. As the entity attempts to squeeze Haddow's crotch through the grate, another snapping sound, assumed to be Haddow's pelvic bone, is heard. Haddow goes limp as SCP-5798 squeezes his torso and stomach through the grate. A slurry of entrails and viscera is expelled from Haddow's mouth, which increases in concentration as more of his body is forced through the drain. Haddow's rib cage snaps, and his upper torso sinks to the floor. The last of Haddow's body, the head, is pulled through the drain. Excess brain matter, hair, ocular muscles, and teeth surround the immediate area of the grate. The slurry of bodily fluids and entrails stains the shower. END LOG Upon further interaction with SCP-5798, the entity used Researcher Haddow's voice to communicate. No relevant or new information has been gained from this research, and the entity claims to have no recollection of Researcher Haddow. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5799 | keter | Fig 1.1: Inactive SCP-5799 specimen. Item #: SCP-5799 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation personnel stationed in the city of Rexburg are to suppress any knowledge of SCP-5799's existence to the general public. Likewise, field agents are to be stationed in dental clinics and report any young adults suffering from toothaches of any form. Field agents proficient in the field of dentistry and oral hygiene must extract any teeth that may cause physical ailments in the affected adolescent. Extracted teeth are then analysed by the dental auxillaries of MTF-Upsilon-8 ("Cavity Creeps")1 to determine if these teeth are viable SCP-5799 instances. Upon extraction of these entities, agents are to disseminate amnestics to the individuals involved and their families with cover stories implemented as an explanation for the missing teeth. Any active SCP-5799 instances in the wild are to be contained whenever possible. MTF-Phi-5 ("Twilighters") is responsible for the termination of all SCP-5799 entities while sending cover stories to the families of the hosts for an explanation regarding their disappearance2. Description: SCP-5799 are groups of human teeth (six or more) exhibiting autonomous motion and predatory behavior. Despite being made of enamel, SCP-5799 instances display abnormal malleability and actively stretch out in length; in this way, SCP-5799 entities are able to move and traverse to different locations. SCP-5799 instances are nocturnal predators, typically seeking out adolescents between the age of 15 and 22 while they are in bed. Upon finding their prey, these instances restrain the subject using their roots. They wedge open the subject's jaw, forcibly extract each tooth, then implant themselves. Fig 1.2: Fully grown SCP-5799 instance residing in D-80090's third molar. Three hours after implantation, the subject's mandible and maxilla bones3 will become increasingly malleable. The subject's facial muscles will undergo sustained spasms, often resulting in a permanent risus sardonicus4. Over the next few days, the implanted instances expand in size, displacing surrounding tissue. The malleability of the subject's facial bones permits this displacement to occur with minimum tearing or breakage. SCP-5799 instances inhabit the host's mouth for up to 12 days, continuing to grow. At the end of their life-cycle, they experience rapid demineralization5, followed by the emergence of a dozen or more of deciduous teeth6. Alterations to the host's tissue and bone resulting from SCP-5799's growth remain after this process is complete. Discovery: SCP-5799 was discovered in the city of Rexburg, Idaho after a surge in cosmetic dentistry and facial deformities among children were reported. MTF-Xi-3 ("Body Snatchers") were then sent to the appropriate locations to capture all SCP-5799 instances and administered amnestics to the hosts' families. Prior to their discovery, field agents also reported flyers and pamphlets being passed around in the local church and rehabilitation centers regarding a "tooth strider infestation." The following transcript below is an example of one of the flyers received: Got a bad toothache!? Tooth Striders are no joke. Especially when it comes to the safetry[sic] of your children. That's why Billy's Dental Killing Services are the ones for you! We'll break any tooth, no matter hte[sic] size, because that doesn't matter to us! Call 1-███-TOOTH-ACHE for our services! Remember: That's 1-███-TOOTH-ACHE! Call within the next 48 hours, and we'll throw in a discount! (probably) Attempts to contact the number have yielded inconclusive results. Footnotes 1. A task force specialized in dental hygiene to combat orthognathic anomalies. 2. This is due to the growing or fully grown SCP-5799 instances becoming increasingly difficult to excise from the host and rendering extraction of these instances an impractical ideal. 3.

SCP-5800 | keter | NOTICE - Entry Locked Unfortunately, I've had to lock this entry, for the following reasons: We originally found this entry on a vinyl disc in the ruins of Site-01. When we inserted a copy of it into the old Foundation database, it was automatically erased. We'd like to avoid anything like that if possible. Given the attention scp-wiki.net has received recently, we've locked all of the pages in order to prevent vandalism. Please contact the Foundation Preservation Guild for more information. Item #: SCP-5800 Site Responsible: USPAPH Site-98 Director: Jeremy Henshaw Research Head: Sean Reemus Assigned Task Force: N/A Level 5/5800 CLASSIFIED Diagrams of SCP-5800's aperture depicted as a 5-polytope manifold; the following are the four known stages of the aperture reaching to higher levels of dimensional expansion. Special Containment Procedures: Scientific institutions and observatories must be prevented from discovering SCP-5800-1. Leaked and disseminated information on SCP-5800-1 must be taken down and kept away from public knowledge or addressed as a hoax. Foundation protocols must be kept in place to prevent any entity or entities from breaching this aperture. Foundation metaphysicians have prepared an A.I.M. (Absolute Idealistic Materials) chamber around SCP-5800-1 to permanently seal away entity or entities emerging from the aperture. Description: SCP-5800 is a hypothetical alternate reality that is known in relativistic physics as the fifth dimension. Specifics of SCP-5800 are unclear due to the inability of Foundation technology to properly analyze mathematical and anomalous dimensional constructs higher than our own. SCP-5800 retains radically different ideals than the laws of physics of baseline reality. SCP-5800 is host to living inconceivable abstract concepts that operate in Noospheric subspace similar to that of biotic components interacting with one another in a natural ecosystem. Most of these abstract concepts or entities are predatory in nature and aggressively envelop or dominate weaker ideatic concepts in order to increase in fractal topology. SCP-5800-1 is an aperture located approximately 5.5 au (Astronomical units) away from the Earth and appears as a uniform 5-polytope (Schläfli symbol t1{3,3,3,4}) with the Schläfli symbol increasing in notation every 215 years. This aperture does not conform to normative spacetime and instead appears to possess a tesselated geometry that steadily increases in complexity to the point that Foundation supercomputers are incapable of processing a digital representation of SCP-5800-1. SCP-5800 was officially designated following several events involving SCP-1425, SCP-2155, SCP-3005, and SCP-4565 and their effects on human society. Following a more accurate quantification of SCP-5800, Foundation resources are to be devoted to its neutralization. Addendum 5800.1: The Petrislav Notes Igor Petrislav (1689 - 1751) was a Russian sorcerer and one of the first to codify their practices into what is now known as thaumaturgy. Towards the end of his life, Petrislav discovered SCP-5800 and began to perform experiments on it. Following his death, Petrislav's next of kin hid his work on it in a hidden chamber in his stronghold by Petrislav's will. This research was not rediscovered until it was excavated in 1996. Some relevant paragraphs have been translated below. If there is a world of ideas, then there is a world that contains the opposite of ideas. It took some experimentation to be able to breach the boundary between these two worlds, but now I can see why it was sealed away. I found it to be frayed at the ends, yet overflowing with some substance that can only be accurately described as "light" in our universe. This "light" is very pleasing to take in; unfortunately, it melts the mind and causes madness. Abram stared into the portal for the entire day, and at the end he couldn't say a coherent sentence that didn't involve the color pink or the sight of smoke. In addition, the light seems to have an adverse effect on animals, as my two cats ran for their lives at the sight of the opening. If my observations are correct, I believe that submerging anything inside of this world will inevitably result in the idea remaining there. Viktor put an apple inside of the portal before taking it out. The apple slowly shifted forms and color, until it turned itself into a green snake who spoke cautionary tales about liquid hands and hateful stars in the sky. I took the liberty of sealing the aperture after that; I'd rather not have ideas interact with that world for a prolonged period of time. Addendum 5800.2: Further Research The following is a audio recording of Dr. MacWarren, one of the lead researchers analyzing SCP-5800's effects on human cognition. Alright, I'm supposed to leave the office but I can't be fucked to write anymore. I've been bleeding out my nose and ears for the past two days and it keeps messing up my papers. [Audible coughing] Right, so what we've learned so far about SCP-5800 is that it's an ecological ideaspace for extremely volatile abstract concepts. These things have a hierarchy of sorts which is dictated by the size of these beings. I use the term "size" loosely because th- [coughs] there ah… these things are presented in sets of infinities; like how many integers or natural numbers there are in- in mathematics. The sheer size of these- these beings are defined as uncountable infinities. Despite logic telling us that there can't be anything larger in scale than… well… infinity. Yeah, I know to the average layman that can't be possible. But it's very much true. These beings are represented by their "aleph numbers": numbers which represent the cardinality of infinite sets. Professor Hutchinson stated that such beings exist in these numbers and have been known to for quite some time. What we've found out, is that there is a philosophy stemming around the hidden potential of the human mind. That in order to ascend past the boundaries of everything, one must secede from their personal principals and "unlock what's within." These, uh… it's just a metaphorical analogy and all that. Ideas presented in a way for us to understand how to truly be one with the very hand that exists above us and sits at a many-angled throne of stars and pure radiance. A blissful- [Dr. MacWarren pauses for 30 seconds. He sharply inhales and exhales.] Sorry, got a bit carried away there. Anyway, there are sects that have had a long history with a certain key stretching all the way back to the Third Crusade. A key that could open all the doors to the world and the mind itself. We haven't figured much about this door though. I'm sure we have some keys locked up that can open some doors or all doors. But I don't know anything about a door. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think we ever had a door contained in the first place… or did we? I don't- I don't know. Whatever… I don't expect anyone to understand. Calvin and I have been working our asses off on this thing and I- I think it's affecting us somehow; they're telling us to go on a medical leave. Our research and data on SCP-5800 is getting pushed to someone named Harkness, he's got more experience with this than I do anyway. Shit, I'm getting lightheaded as hell. Right, that about wraps up what's- been uh… happening as of late. Talk soon. Addendum 5800.3: SCP-5800-1 Exploration Attempts PROJECT BORDER BLUE After the appearance of SCP-████1 following testing between SCP-███ and SCP-████-█, it was determined that an exploration of the anomaly would give greater insight into its origins. A Urelena-Class Colony was erected near the entrance of SCP-████. Director Simon Browning was originally selected to head exploration efforts; however, O5-5 overrided Protocol ALPHA-CONTAMINANT in order to oversee exploration themselves, citing a need to be precise. The colony was considered self-sustaining on 2095/03/29. A robotic drone was to be deployed into the anomaly on 2095/04/09. However, five days prior to deployment, Site-19 Command received the following transmission: COLONY: This is Agent Stroffson, aboard Urelena-Class Colony #1093. We're undergoing a situation, can anyone hear us? SITE-19: This is Dr. Johannson, at Site-19, in New San Francisco, Saturn. What's the situation? COLONY: We're being pulled into SCP-████. We believe that the mission is over. SITE-19: Are you sure you're mentally well, Agent? From our telescopes, it looks like the colony isn't being pulled in at all. COLONY: No, no, no, there's an… a light. There's a light and we're being pulled into it. SITE-19: Do you require us to send an evacuation team? COLONY: We're drifting away, no. I don't think… I don't think they'd fare. <Transmission suddenly ends.> An evacuation team was mobilized at Site-19; however, before evacuation could occur, the colony suddenly vanished from reality. The only known survivors were O5-5 and several of his associates, who had escaped from the colony in a custom escape pod. Given the observations of the colony and this incident, SCP-████ has now been classified as a sub-anomaly of SCP-5800. NOTICE The file below was found on the same vinyl that we found the SCP-5800 file on. Given the fall of the Foundation occurred shortly after the events described above, this is believed to be relevant. O5-5 Extended Description of SCP-5800: SCP-5800-A refers to the concept of the Foundation as an entity. After an event on 2095/05/05, SCP-5800-A has been partially submerged inside of SCP-5800. This has had an impact on baseline reality, causing: The alteration of the Foundation's core mission statement. The replacement of several high-ranking officers with members of GoI-005 ("The Fifth Church"). The release of many SCP artifacts and entities due to new protocols. The absorption of several minor groups of interest, such as GoI-049 ("Global Occult Coalition"). Incident Log 5800-TRINITY: On 2095/05/05, the director of MTF Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand") entered the O5 Council's main chamber as part of a surprise inspection. However, they found O5-5 performing a ritual, involving the sacrifice of several important Foundation personnel and the drawing of a star on the floor using chalk. MTF Alpha-1 managed to interrupt this ritual, but suffered major casualties. Several modifications to the Foundation as a concept took place after the ritual (see Extended Description of SCP-5800 above). In response, parts of the Foundation broke off with the goal of overthrowing the O5 Council. INTERVIEW LOG Interviewer: Dr. Sean Reemus Interviewee: O5-5 <Begin Log> Dr. Reemus: Have you heard of the Chaos Insurgency, Overseer? O5-5: Of course I have, doctor. Dr. Reemus: The Overseers became tyrants. The Insurgency was formed because they did not want to see the world ruled by people with power left unchecked. I think we're trying to imitate them. O5-5: That's not what this is really about, is it? Dr. Reemus: No, no, no. The Insurgency turned out to be a mistake in the long run. It's just a lot easier to rally behind the idea of eliminating tyrants than eliminating ideas. O5-5: That seems a little extreme to you, doesn't it? Dr. Reemus: So what's your story, then? Why have you suddenly changed the Foundation's prime directive and absorbed the competition? O5-5: You don't really get it, do you? You think we can just solve the world's problems by putting them all in boxes. Four-sided boxes filled with the vilest and the darkest of evils. Dr. Reemus: If this is about the number five, there's no scientific evidence that it is what you claim it is. O5-5: But God? God will cleanse this fetid world. This forsaken universe is a sin, and we will be born anew in God's glorious dazzling light. It's not a fantasy, Sean. It's not even a reality. It is so, so, so much more than that and beyond. It's an escape. And we have the KEY to bring it here. Dr. Reemus: Key? Are you talking about SCP-5800? O5-5: When you cut the arm off of a starfish, what happens? Dr. Reemus: What? I don't… it grows back, right? O5-5: You have to know, God's omnipresence expands above all the worlds in every universe. We thought we could keep it out by obliterating the very idea of God's existence, and it didn't even work! We tried to excise it from the very abyss in our heads. We tried so damn hard to cut it out. But like a starfish, it grew back. You can't stop it. God is here to bring us what we deserve. Dr. Reemus: With all due respect, Overseer, you're insane. O5-5: What, you thought we could just lock the DOOR and throw away the KEY? It was always there. We put God on the other side of the DOOR and pretended that everything was alright even though it wasn't. It never was. But we can still try to bring it here, Reemus. Deep down in the moist music and the- the orgasmic smoke of your heart's mind, you know that it's true. We already have the KEY, and we know what the DOOR is. [O5-5 convulses slightly.] O5-5: All you have to do, is let them in, doctor. Call your men off, tell them to let them in. Dr. Reemus: Okay, I think we have enough here. Clef, do you think you can edit it, so- <End Log> Footnotes 1. Now classified as SCP-5800-1.

SCP-5801 | safe | FluffyDog00 Check out the rest of my works here: Author Page An instance of SCP-5801-1. Item #: SCP-5801 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5801 has been acquired by the Foundation and is designated as private property. Any civilians who reach SCP-5801's designated red zone are to be amnesticized and relocated by posted guards. All testing and interviews involving SCP-5801-1 instances are to take place outside of the barrier surrounding SCP-5801. Description: SCP-5801 is an undisclosed location in Nome, Alaska. A barrier composed of an unknown transparent material surrounds SCP-5801. The barrier is 7 m in height, and encloses an area that is 22.4 m in diameter. Both instances of SCP-5801-1 and personnel are unable to pass through the barrier. SCP-5801 contains instances of SCP-5801-1, which are sapient beings composed out of three spherical masses of snow, and possess tree branches in the place of limbs. Materials making up the facial features of SCP-5801-1 vary, but recorded materials include sticks, leaves, berries, vegetables, and rocks. SCP-5801-1 instances possess the ability to speak and move, and have been observed to converse with each other on a regular basis. According to interviews with multiple SCP-5801-1 instances, SCP-5801 is an afterlife for deceased individuals whose effigies were shaped into SCP-5801-1 through a ritualistic process. Due to the absence of new SCP-5801-1 instances, it is assumed that this process no longer occurs.1 Addendum 5801-01: Interview Log: The following is an interview with an instance of SCP-5801-1, referred to as SCP-5801-1-A. The interview was conducted by researcher Morrissey. SCP-5801-1-A waddles close to the barrier. SCP-5801-1-A bears facial features composed completely out of blueberries, and stands approximately 1.8 m tall. Researcher Morrissey stands on the other side of the barrier. Morrissey: Hey, uh excuse me? SCP-5801-1-A: Pardon? Morrissey: Hi, my name is Morrissey. I’m a researcher working for the SCP Foundation. You probably see our team around here often. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions if you’re not busy. SCP-5801-1-A: Well yeah of course. Ain’t a lot to keep me busy here anyways. Morrissey: Alright then, can I get your first name please? SCP-5801-1-A: Yeah uh, it’s Pete. Morrissey: Okay Pete, do you recall your life before you came here? SCP-5801-1-A: Thankfully yes. SCP-5801-1-A lets out a chuckle. SCP-5801-1-A: I was a farmer. I had my own little dairy company. Good lil’ farm I had there. It was a family business too. Morrissey: Was the person who brought you here in your family? SCP-5801-1-A: Sadly, I don’t think I’m allowed to say. Morrissey: And why is that? SCP-5801-1-A: They know y’all are monitoring this place, and they told me they’d send me to the “Frosted Abyss” if I told y’all who they were. What that means? Hell if I know. Morrissey: Huh. Alright then. Perhaps you can tell me about the ritual that sent you here? SCP-5801-1-A: Well I didn’t hear about no punishment about telling y’all about the ritual, so I guess I can give you what I remember. On my deathbed they told me to “declare that I am truly afraid of death and wish to be frozen in this life” or something along those lines. Then they said some mystical mumbo-jumbo out of some spellbook, and then told me that my body would be buried in a mound of snow. It was to “preserve my essence in ice” or something like that. Morrissey: Are you actually afraid of death? SCP-5801-1-A: Without question my friend, without question. I didn’t really believe in no god so I had no hope in an afterlife. I thought death would be the end of my consciousness and feeling. I was scared to death until they showed up. Of course I’m assuming I can’t tell y’all how I met them, so I’ll just leave it at that. And now, I’m here. Still conscious and all. Still don’t know what to feel about it. Morrissey: Alright, thank you for your time. SCP-5801-1-A: Hey, anytime my friend. Again, there ain’t much to do around here so this was time well spent. END LOG Addendum 5801-02: Interview Log 2: The following is an interview with an instance of SCP-5801-1, referred to as SCP-5801-1-B. The interview was conducted by researcher Morrissey. SCP-5801-1-B is close to the barrier. SCP-5801-1-B bears two rocks for eyes, a carrot for a nose, and a mouth made from blueberries. SCP-5801-1-B stands approximately 1.2 m tall. Morrissey: Hey, you there! The little guy! SCP-5801-1-B turns around. SCP-5801-1-B: Oh, hi! Are you one of those sciency people? Morrissey: (chuckles) Why yes I am. SCP-5801-1-B: Cool! Morrissey: (chuckles) Yeah, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions. SCP-5801-1-B: Sure! Will it help with your science stuff? Morrissey: Why yes it will. SCP-5801-1-B: Yay! I'm ready. Morrissey: Alrighty then. What is your name? SCP-5801-1-B: I'm Timothy, but you can call me Timmy! Morrissey: Awesome! Well Timmy, I was wondering how you got to this place. SCP-5801-1-B: Well, I had a thing called a brain tumor, and mommy and daddy didn't want me to die. So they took me to these people called the- Before SCP-5801-1-B is able to finish its sentence, its facial features begin to slide down its face. SCP-5801-1-B: No, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to tell them, I didn’t! SCP-5801-1-B's head inverts. SCP-5801-1-B: No, please! Mommy, mommy… SCP-5801-1-B's body begins to thaw, disintegrating into a mass of slush. The slush dissolves into water. A heart resembling that of a human’s remains in the middle of the puddle. Nearby SCP-5801-1 instances take notice of this event, reacting with a mixture of fear and sadness. Morrissey: Oh god. END LOG Footnotes 1. Possibly due to the Foundation's awareness of SCP-5801. |
SCP-5802 | euclid | close Info X 88.08% (+96) 11.92% (-13) -% (+0) -% (-0) Item #: SCP-5802 Clearance Level: 4 (Secret) Image of an SCP-5802-A instance. Note the artificial light from above, and the lack of visible pollution due to its depth below the surface. Special Containment Procedures: A 5-kilometre exclusion zone has been established around SCP-5802 and SCP-5802-1, ringed by a circular perimeter. Aside from PTF Rho-17 ("The Cleanup Crew"), no personnel are to enter this exclusion zone for any reason. Personnel found breaking this rule are subject to termination. All approaching persons are to be detained and amnesticized with necessary force to prevent entry into SCP-5802’s exclusion zone. Approaching SCP-3396-01 instances are to be terminated with extreme prejudice by PTF Rho-18 ("Factory Patrol"). Should PTF Rho-18 be unsuccessful, a localised state of emergency is to be declared. This state of emergency dictates that any available Task Forces are to travel to SCP-5802’s exclusion zone to assist in the termination of the SCP-3396-01 instances. Arriving Task Forces are subject to the same quarantine protocols as PTF Rho-17 and -18. The members of PTF Rho-17 ("The Cleanup Crew") are to patrol SCP-5802’s surrounds and neutralise any found SCP-5802-2 instances. Before and after entry into SCP-5802 exclusion zone, Rho-17 members are to undergo Class IX1 quarantine protocols and outfitted with Class-5802 Hazardous Material Suits. Contaminated members are to be terminated and the remains incinerated. + View Archived Containment Procedures - 19/7/17 + - Close - SCP-5802 is currently under investigation for its continued and consistent acquisition of large amounts of monetary assets in the form of stocks and physical stockpiles of various fossil fuels (petroleum, coal, natural gas, etc.), chemicals, both artificial and natural, used in the construction of man-made materials, radioactive and corrosive substances, and various toxic and/or otherwise pollutant anomalous items. Investigations into SCP-5802-1 are currently ongoing. + View Archived Containment Procedures - 29/6/18 + - Close - SCP-5802 is to be shut down by any means necessary, as it is currently uncontained and poses a severe threat to the integrity of the Veil. Containment efforts should primarily focus on: The suppression of information regarding SCP-5802 to the public Attempts to prevent or otherwise inhibit the growth of SCP-5802's monetary assets The capture and containment of SCP-5802-1A and -1B The capture and interrogation of SCP-5802-2 instances for information regarding SCP-5802, -1A and -1B, and -3 instances The minimisation of fallout from SCP-5802-3 instances The movement of civilians out of areas that could potentially be affected by SCP-5802-3 instances presently or in the near future (based on analysis of movement) SCP-5802 can be considered Neutralised if one of the three following conditions are met: complete liquidation or otherwise destruction of SCP-5802 assets, the complete destruction of all SCP-5802-2 and 3 instances and the prevention of further instances from manifesting, or the successful assassination of SCP-5802-1A and -1B. Currently, efforts are underway to neutralise SCP-5802 in collaboration with Skitter Marshall and his subordinates, defectors from Marshall, Carter, and Dark, and various other GoIs (including, but not limited to, The Serpent's Hand, Global Occult Coalition (GOC), and Manna Charitable Foundation). The use of MTF Omega 8 ("Empyrean Warriors"), as well as other anomalous personnel and weaponry, has been authorised in containment/neutralisation efforts of SCP-5802. + View Archived Containment Procedures - 15/10/18 + - Close - Containment or neutralisation of SCP-5802 is currently of highest Foundation priority. If left unchecked, SCP-5802 will inevitably result in an IK-Class "Collapse of Global Civilisation Scenario", followed by an XK-Class "End-of-the-World" Scenario. SCP-5802-1A and 1B are to be terminated by any means necessary, and consequences up to and including a Lifted Veil Scenario are acceptable. SCP-5802-2 instances are to be captured and interrogated for information regarding SCP-5802, -1A and -1B, and -3 instances. Upon conclusion of interrogation, they are to be terminated and their bodies incinerated. SCP-5802-3 instances are to be destroyed if possible. If not, civilians are to be moved out of the potential fallout zones. Methods of safely penetrating or neutralising SCP-5802-4, minimising its effects on the surrounding environment, luring SCP-5802-1A and -1B out of its area, or otherwise circumventing its anomalous effects for the purposes of -1A and -1B's termination are currently of highest priority. Description: Lake Winnipeg, before conversion into SCP-5802-1. SCP-5802 refers to a circular area with a diameter of 4km containing a collection of inactive factories2 (collectively referred to as SCP-5802-A) in a state of disrepair, once owned by Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. They are scattered throughout SCP-5802, centred around SCP-5802-1, and increase in numerical density as they approach SCP-5802-1's surrounds. SCP-5802 displays higher than usual readings of Akiva radiation that, like the density of SCP-5802-A instances, increases the closer to SCP-5802-1 it is. SCP-5802 is heavily polluted by various substances, ranging from non-anomalous smog, oil, and toxic waste, to extremely volatile thaumaturgical substances that significantly affect the local area. Notably, this waste does not spread past the bounds of SCP-5802, but is instead prevented from passing by an intangible barrier surrounding the exact circumference. This barrier only affects the aforementioned waste; all other organisms (including SCP-5802-2 instances) and items simply pass through it. Organisms that come into direct contact with any of the pollutant substances of SCP-5802 will inevitably die of overexposure to the contacted toxic element, even if the quantity and form of exposure is insufficient to cause death. Upon the cessation of life functions, organisms will undergo a series of anomalous changes to physiological structure, biochemistry, and thought processes, becoming an SCP-5802-2 instance. SCP-5802-A instances vary in structure, appearance, size, and composition. Several are little more than small concrete warehouses, whilst others are enormous mining complexes with several floors extending hundreds of metres underground. Although instances of SCP-5802-A are functionally inactive, most artificial lighting and other superficial operations are still running. Within individual instances of SCP-5802-A, large amounts of inert anomalous machinery and piles of various pollutants can found. This machinery appears to have been used for purposes that vary within each instance, but can be split into four categories: The processing, refining, and packaging of fossil fuels The processing, refining, and packaging of various chemicals The processing, refining, and packaging of nuclear materials and other substances with adverse side effects on human health The processing, refining, and packaging of thaumaturgical materials and other anomalous substances Anomalous additions to the machinery within SCP-5802-A instances vary wildly, but will consistently increase the machinery's efficiency (lowered power and resource consumption, etc.), increase the quality of produced products, increase the structural integrity of both the machinery and the factory it is housed in, add various extradimensional gateways for faster transportation through the factory or even as connections to other SCP-5802-A instances, and produce the highest possible quantity of waste products (even if this means extracting the necessary components from the type of product being processed) with the most damaging effects on the surrounding environment. Numerous SCP-5802-A instances have entire sections devoted to the synthesis of waste products, or, in the case of Factories 19B, 120C, and 342F, are entirely devoted to the creation of waste products, using the previously mentioned extradimensional gateways to transport the required materials. SCP-5802-1 is a circular area with a diameter of 200m, set at the centre of the collection of SCP-5802-A instances. At SCP-5802-1's centre is a single 5802-A instance, referred to as SCP-5802-A1. SCP-5802-1 is extremely densely polluted, even when compared to the rest of SCP-58023, and otherwise differs significantly from SCP-5802 due to a high amount of anomalous waste. SCP-5802-1 has an inconsistent topography, and appears to be partially intersected with higher spatial dimensions. It is subject to variable anomalous phenomena associated with an unstable reality, such as spatial 'bleeding' and fracturing, extreme unnatural weather (such as rains of ignited oil, tornadoes of various natural gases and nuclear elements, areas of spontaneous total darkness that cause reality within to temporarily cease existing, etc.), and temporal fluctuation. SCP-5802-A1 is, unlike other 5802-A instances, empty, save for several corpses belonging to various GoIs, members of MTF Omega-8, and Iris Dark and Robert Carter. Due to the poorly understood efforts of Omega-8 member Kieran Trelock, the corpses of these GoIs and the rest of his MTF have not transformed into instances of SCP-5802-2. The corpse of Iris Dark is a large, fossilised skeleton that is encased in a translucent combination of oils, toxic waste, and anomalous thaumaturgical waste products. Their skeleton differs from baseline humans through the addition of four heads extending from the Axis (C2) Cervical vertebrae that resemble those of a non-anomalous Tyrannosaurus Rex (large teeth, ellipsoid shape, etc.), a long, piked tail, and an unfolded ribcage. The corpse of Robert Carter is a large pit of rusted machinery over 20m deep, with their enormous, mechanized face (resembling that of someone in the last stages of SCP-217 infection) at the bottom. Attached to this machinery is a diverse, inactive assortment of tools found in SCP-5802-A instances (such as vacuum tubes, buzzsaws, hammers, laser splitters, and tranaculars4), weaponry (guns, rocket launchers, particle cannons, and plasma accelerators), and tubes connected to various SCP-5802-A instances for the discharge of harmful materials and waste products. SCP-5802-2 instances are the highly mutated, reanimated corpses of organisms directly exposed to SCP-5802 pollutants. Mutations are disparate between instances with no discernible pattern, except for predacious qualities, an increase in intelligence, and a desire to expose as many organisms as possible to the interior of SCP-5802 for the creation of more 5802-2 instances. + View Archived Description - 19/7/17 + - Close - SCP-5802 is C&D Holdings Ltd, a splinter company of Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. C&D Holdings is a company which processes and sells various fossil fuels, chemicals, nuclear material, and anomalous substances. Their legal business is currently under investigation for a presumed predictive anomaly (SCP-5802-1), which has so far allowed the enormous and continuous acquisition of high-value stocks in several (previously) relatively obscure oil and chemical companies, which have since merged with SCP-5802. In 100% of cases as of yet, companies that SCP-5802 invests in will find a considerable amount of their respective material (oil, gas, nuclear elements, etc.) within 15 days of being invested in. Despite being a relatively new company, SCP-5802 is already twentieth-highest valued out of all companies in their field. If allowed to grow further, SCP-5802 could gain a total monopoly over all companies of their branch, giving Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd extreme financial power. SCP-5802-1 is the presumed predictive anomaly that SCP-5802 is using for stock purposes. Its appearance, method of function, and origin are unknown, yet it has already displayed the strength of its abilities through SCP-5802. Containment of SCP-5802-1 is currently of moderate-to-high priority. + View Archived Description - 29/6/18 + - Close - SCP-5802 is C&D Holdings Ltd. Previously a splinter of Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd, SCP-5802 has since replaced the company entirely while keeping remaining operations intact, though with a greater focus on the SCP-5802 industry branch. SCP-5802 is currently the fifth-highest valued company of its field, and is set to overtake the highest-valued company, China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation, in the coming weeks. SCP-5802-1A and -1B are Robert Carter and Iris Dark, respectively. Based on the testimony of PoI-5802-1 (Skitter Marshall) during his distress call, it was ascertained that SCP-5802-1A and -1B were exposed to solution from SCP-3396, becoming 3396-01 instances. The strength of their abilities seems to be directly affected by the value of SCP-5802 stocks, as well as its position in the global market. The higher the value and position of SCP-5802, the stronger SCP-5802-1A and -1B's abilities become. SCP-5802-1A has the ability to manifest complex machinery for various purposes at will. This machinery has several anomalous properties, such as increased efficiency, increased quality of products, and greatly increased structural integrity. Although the strength of his abilities was previously ~50-60 on the Empyrean Power Scale5 (50-60 denotes a moderately strong ability, and in this case 5802-1A was able to manifest up to 5 tonnes of machinery at a time before losing consciousness), it has since steadily increased to ~150-170 EPS, allowing the manifestation of up to 100 tonnes of machinery before losing consciousness, along with stronger anomalous modifications and more complex designs. His whereabouts are currently unknown. SCP-5802-1B has the ability to manifest various substances associated with environmental damage, such as fossil fuels, chemicals both natural and artificial, nuclear materials, highly toxic/corrosive materials, and various anomalous materials. The strength of her abilities was previously ~70-80 EPS, allowing the manifestation of up to 10 tonnes of raw material before losing consciousness. Currently, her abilities rank ~200 EPS, allowing the manifestation of up to 400 tonnes of material before losing consciousness, additionally granting her moderate pollutiokinesis. Her appearance and bodily composition have undergone numerous unspecified changes, but have allowed her to survive all assassination attempts and kill her assailants. Her location is currently within the metropolitan area of Toronto. SCP-5802-2 collectively refers to the employees of SCP-5802, who have undergone numerous changes to their physiology and mental state. Changes include increased endurance and energy, the addition of various extendable mechanical tools from their spines, and a near-fanatical devotion to SCP-5802 success. The method of adding these changes on such a wide scale (as 5802-2 instances currently number approximately 20000) is unknown. SCP-5802-3 refers to numerous factories under SCP-5802 which have began to manifest in various areas. These factories are responsible for the processing, refining, and packaging of the various materials that SCP-5802-1B produces, and are staffed by SCP-5802-2 instances. They produce large amounts of pollution and waste products, which have detrimental effects on the surrounding area, civilian health, and the environment at large, and resist all civilian assaults. SCP-5802-3 instances are currently manifesting in the countryside of Ontario, CA. Predictive pattern analysis suggests that they are travelling directly towards Manitoba, but will detour to within all major cities within 5 square kilometres of this path. Civilian evacuation efforts are underway. + View Archived Description - 15/10/18 + - Close - SCP-5802 is C&D Holdings Ltd, a splinter company of Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd which has since overtaken its parent company. Currently, C&D Holdings operates in the fields of production and processing of fossil fuels, various chemicals, nuclear materials, highly toxic/corrosive substances, and anomalous/thaumaturgical substances. It is the highest-valued company in all of these fields, and has since assimilated most lower-valued companies in these fields into itself. SCP-5802-1A and -1B (Robert Carter and Iris Dark, respectively) are SCP-3396-01 instances that have gained the anomalous abilities to manifest large amounts of anomalous machinery (-1A) and the materials of SCP-5802's fields (-1B). Their abilities, as of writing this document, both rank at ~300 EPS, tying them as the fourth most-powerful 3396-01 instances ever recorded. SCP-5802-1A can generate up to 1000 tonnes of machinery with extremely strong anomalous properties before fatiguing, while -1B can generate up to 2000 tonnes of raw material before fatiguing. Additionally, both SCP-5802-1A and -1B have undergone significant changes to their physiology. SCP-5802-1A resembles a large, 20m deep pit of complex machinery, tools, weaponry, and tubes for the discharge of waste products from SCP-5802-3 instances. A gargantuan form of his face (approximating someone in the last stages of SCP-217 infection) lies at the bottom of the pit. SCP-5802-1B resembles an animate fossilised skeleton with splayed ribs and several reptilian skulls emerging from her spine. Her muscles and skin have been replaced by large quantities of the materials she produces (oils, nuclear material, etc.) which form into simulacrums of her previous appearance. SCP-5802-2 collectively refers to the employees of SCP-5802; as of time of writing, they number over 100 000. Along with increased durability, energy, and strength, they possess a near-fanatical devotion to SCP-5802. Additionally, their physiology has been changed into various barely humanoid forms, incorporating seemingly random physical elements from both SCP-5802-1A and -1B. SCP-5802-3 instances are large factories, currently concentrated around SCP-5802-4. They possess anomalously high structural integrity, and are devoted to the processing, refining, and packaging of the materials SCP-5802-1B produces. Significant portions of SCP-5802-3 instances are devoted to the synthesis of harmful waste products, which are subsequently released into the surrounding environment. SCP-5802-4 was formerly Lake Winnipeg. Due to the use of much of its water in SCP-5802-3 instances as a manufacturing resource, and the addition of massive amounts of anomalous pollution, it has shrunk to a circular area with a diameter of 200m. A single SCP-5802-3 instance has manifested in the exact centre. It is immeasurably highly polluted with various materials, and the addition of anomalous refuse has cause the area to gain non-Euclidean properties and convert exposed organisms to SCP-5802-2 instances. SCP-5802-1A and -1B currently reside within the lone SCP-5802-3 instance. Associated Documents: The following documents form a timeline of the events from SCP-5802-1A and -1B's conversion to SCP-3396-01 instances to their deaths. Most of these were recovered after the deaths of SCP-5802-1A and -1B. Analysis is underway in order to prevent future similar events from occurring. + Transcript of Internal MC&D Communications - 15/4/17 + - Close - Incident Report 01 Re: Transportation of 'Thaumaturgic Organs' Sender Iris Dark Recipient Skitter Marshall We're alive. Marshall, Carter and Dark, LLP Incident Report 02 Re: Transportation of 'Thaumaturgic Organs' Sender Skitter Marshall Recipient Iris Dark Dark, where the fuck have you and Carter been? That was an extremely valuable shipment you were handling, worth at very least US$79 million. I assume you've botched it, but that still doesn't explain why you've simply vanished for the past nine days. Marshall, Carter and Dark, LLP Incident Report 03 Re: Transportation of 'Thaumaturgic Organs' Sender Iris Dark Recipient Skitter Marshall Thank you kindly for your concern for our wellbeing, Marshall. And yes, the transaction was botched, but through no fault of our own. That organiser you vetted? Maxwell? He was a traitor, that son of a bitch. Our clients tried to assassinate us and take the cargo for themselves. If it weren't for Jacobi, we'd both be dead. As it is, Carter's still unconscious, and I've got eighteen broken bones. Marshall, Carter and Dark, LLP Incident Report 04 Re: Transportation of 'Thaumaturgic Organs' Sender Skitter Marshall Recipient Iris Dark I see. Well, at very least, the two of you are still alive, barely. Did the product survive? We might still be able to salvage this.

Marshall, Carter and Dark, LLP + Security Transcript from the Delaware Peculiar Hospital - 16/4/17 + - Close - VIDEO LOG - DELAWARE PECULIAR HOSPITAL, FLOOR 7, WARD 18-B DATE: 16/4/17 NOTE: Delaware Peculiar Hospital is a front organisation constructed of various members of the anomalous community for treating those involved in accidents of an anomalous nature. It has an antimemetic effect on civilians who are unaware of the anomalous. [BEGIN LOG] (Skitter Marshall enters the ward, briefly turning to communicate with two barely discernible figures just outside the door. As he shuts the door quietly, Iris Dark turns to face him. In the next bed over, Robert Carter lies unconscious.) Dark: Look at who's arrived…. (she pauses for several seconds to examine her digital watch) 2 minutes and 27 seconds late. So much for being punctual. Marshall: Do you have any idea how much precaution I had to take to avoid being followed? How much those bodyguards outside charge? Which begs the question, how the hell did you get here without being noticed, let alone killed? Half your body's covered in gauze and plaster. You can't even walk. Dark: As I said, it's a long story. And again, this is still technically your fault. Marshall: Are you seriousl- (Marshall is interrupted by Dark's snickering.) Dark: Goodness, I almost forgot how fun it is to rile you up. (There is a slight pause.) You didn't honestly think that I was that petty, did you? (Marshall simply sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, angling his head downwards slightly while squeezing his eyes shut.) Dark: Really? Wow. I'm almost insulted. Marshall: Can you just explain how you got here? Dark: But of course. Starting from just after the assassination attempt in Santiago, our outlook was rather bleak. All of our agents had been killed, barring Jacobi, Carter was seriously wounded, I could barely move, our transport was destroyed, an EMP had disabled our technology, and our money was gone. To make things worse, our would-be assassins were still in hot pursuit; we were, as you would put it, 'fucked'. We managed to evade capture temporarily by hiding in a wheat field, but we were still stranded god-knows-where with no way to contact outside help. We didn't really know what to do until Jacobi noticed that the wheat was watching us. Marshall: The wheat was… watching you. Dark: Not literally watching us, of course. There was a kid staring at us from just beyond some stalks. Damn near gave Jacobi a heart attack. Marshell: Did you really have to phrase that in such a needlessly obscure way? Dark: Hey. I'm telling the story here. I tell it how I want. (Marshall seems like he is about to speak, but is silenced by a glare from Dark.) Dark: Getting back to the topic at hand, Jacobi noticed the kid. He called out in Spanish, saying that we were injured and needed some help, and the kid hesitated, then beckoned us forward from his hiding place. We followed until the villagers just appeared all around us from the shadows of the wheat. Marshall: I'm assuming that 'suddenly appearing from the shadows' is another figure of speech? Dark: That? No, they literally appeared from the shadows, just… melting into existence. I was watching. Carter and I were then loaded onto primitive stretchers and Jacobi was led by hand by a gang of old women, heading into the wheat. I came close to panicking when everything went black, but just as suddenly it disappeared and we were emerging from the field into a village. We were certainly not near the village when we started- Marshall: Are you saying you teleported? How? Dark: Firstly, don't interrupt me. Secondly, yes, we did teleport. Thirdly, and I was just getting to this, remember the shipment we had that landed us into this whole mess? Remember how it was extremely rare? Marshall: How is this relevant? (Iris narrows her eyes. Marshall sighs in exasperation.) Yes, I remember. Happy? Dark: Very. Continuing on, there was a large tree growing in the centre of the village, and from that tree flowed a glowing liquid that was a very particular shade of blue. The same blue as the organs from the shipment. Hell, I think I saw some growing from the branches. Marshall: A tree that just produces SCP-33966 excretions freely? Dark: Exactly. And it seems everyone in the town had had contact with it at some point or another, which I realised after I looked around and saw an overwhelming majority of the townsfolk using… magic. Marshall: Magic. Dark: If I had a better term for it, I'd use it. But again getting back to the topic at hand, that kid is most likely how we teleported, using their ability. As it turns out, we'd arrived at a time when the 'Healer' was out travelling, and we'd have to wait until they got back before we could be treated properly. I thought we were safe until the man who was explaining the situation was shot. (Dark sighs.) Better… better him than me. And he at least acted as a shield for a few more bullets before he died, and even more after that. As they died, I got a better view of the shooter, and lo and behold if it weren't one of our clients. Bastard had some kind of maniacal grin on his face. Now, I don't mind killing people for the sake of achieving goals, but shooting that man? Totally unnecessary. If he'd just waited, he would have got a clear shot, but as it was, he not only failed to kill me but gave me a shield as well. I was, admittedly, pissed at him for needlessly killing someone out of incompetence, but when the rocket from the field obliterated the tree? That did it. I… I believe 'Snapped' is the proper term for it nowadays. Marshall: 'An awakening or the first proper utilisation of a magical ability, often brought on by extreme emotion or traumatic events.' Dark: There we go. Seeing all that profit, that power, go down the drain because some grunt couldn't keep from itching his trigger finger? I couldn't take that. So I Snapped. Suddenly, the man shooting at me brought his hands up to his throat and started choking, and last I saw before I passed out was black liquid trickling out of his mouth. When I came to, Carter and I were in a horse-driven carriage, a villager on the reigns. Jacobi wasn't with us. We made our way up to Delaware from there to get treated, seeing as how the 'Healer' was dead, along with everyone else in the village. I don't know exactly what happened or how we escaped, but from what the driver told us, Jacobi gave those fuckers hell. (Dark pauses for several seconds.) Dark: They were an astonishingly useful group, especially the driver. If they'd stayed with us until you'd arrived, I'd probably reimburse them for their efforts. As it is, however, they drove off after we made it to the hospital and before I could get their name. A pity. (Dark pauses briefly.) Dark: And that's our story. It's very sad and tragic, what with all the innocent people dying, but at least we're alive. The loss of the tree was… regrettable, however. Marshall: Much as I'm disappointed at losing that, you're both alive, at least. Dark: Not only that. We've got (Iris wiggles her eyebrows.) magic. (Marshall mutters something indistinct about immaturity.) Dark: What was that? Marshall: Nothing. So, is your… 'magic' the ability to choke people to death. Dark: Choking people? Useful as that would be, it's so nauseatingly pedestrian that I don't think I could bear it if that actually was my magic. No, I have a much better ability. Marshall: And that would be? (Dark faces her palm towards the ceiling and squints. A large globule of oil forms, falling and splattering on the ground.) Marshall: You can make… tar. Dark: Not tar. Oil. High-quality oil. Not only that, but any kind of fossil fuel, several kinds of chemical, nuclear material, and even thaumaturgical products. I can create up to a tonne of any combination of these until I'm rendered unconscious for eight hours. (She taps her temple.) How I know this is beyond me. It just appeared in my head. Marshall: Interesting. Dark: And I've already thought of how we could use it. The fossil fuels industry is one of the largest in the world, and new companies are spawned every day, each one hunting for oil reserves. If we buy up the stock of some small company and nudge them towards a deposit of oil I've created… (Marshall laughs.) Marshall: Manipulating the stock market? How devious. Why, I- Marshall is interrupted by Carter's stirring. Dark: Well, would you look at that. Sleeping Beauty's finally woken up. Marshall: About damn time. (Carter slowly regains consciousness, bewildered, before the situation is explained to him regarding how he and Dark escaped from the assassination attempt.) Dark: You were unconscious for nine days, which I suppose is relatively justified, given how severe your injuries were. (She pauses briefly.) Oh, and your leg had to be amputated as well. (A look of panic passes across Carter's face briefly before he discovers that he still has both legs. Dark laughs while Marshall raises an eyebrow.) Carter: Bastard. Dark: You never learn, do you? Carter: Oh, just because you're a- Marshall: Stop your bickering. Carter. You were contaminated by the shipment. What the hell can you do? Carter: Me? I've been unconscious for nine days straight, in case you haven't noticed. How am I supposed to… (Carter trails off.) Dark: It's there, isn't it? Knowledge that isn't yours, but is there nonetheless. Carter: That's one way of putting it. (There is a pause. Marshall: Are you going to elaborate? Carter: Hey. This feels weird, alright? It's like having a tumour in your memory. Poking it feels… wrong. Marshall: All it is is what your ability is and how it works. Stop being dramatic. Carter: Fine, goddammit. It's… (Carter visibly winces.) I can create machinery for any purpose that I want, even if I have no knowledge on how said machinery works. A maximum weight of, let me see, 500 kilograms before I pass out. (Marshall and Dark look at each other.) Carter: Why- why are you looking at each other like that? Stop it. You're scheming something, I can tell. Dark: Oh, we're scheming something all right. (Marshall claps his hands and rubs them together.) Marshall: This seems to be a perfect combination. Dark: Exactly what I was thinking. Carter: 'Perfect combination?' What the fuck are you talking about? Marshall: We're taking over the entire fossil fuels industry and everything associated with it. Care to join us? [END LOG] + Proposal for Operation 'Black Gold' + - Close - Operation "Black Gold" Proposal Author Skitter Marshall Date May 10, 2017 To Robert Carter, Iris Dark Identifier N/A With your newfound abilities, there is ample opportunity for some rather clever manipulation of the stock market (if I do say so myself), spearheaded by a splinter organisation I'll call Carter and Dark Holdings. Even if this somehow fucks up, it won't affect us in the slightest. The plan is as follows: Dark, you're to manifest all the relevant resources you can into one area. After this process is finished, as many stocks as possible of any small nearby company which works with the gathered resource is to be bought by C&D Holdings. Other companies are to be prevented access to this area, while the company we have stocks in is to be manoeuvred to the appropriate location. They find their resource in massive amounts, their stocks shoot up, C&D sells these and makes absurd amounts of money. Once the value of C&D Holdings has reached at least the top fifty companies in its field, the assimilation process can begin. Carter, your job is to create the necessary machinery to refine, package, and distribute the materials C&D Holdings has gathered to buyers. From here, the process is rinse and repeat. One important thing to note is that we have to provide incentive for customers to buy our product in large amounts. To do this, C&D Holdings is to prepare stocks for companies that are parts of opposing countries. Using a combination of political influence, assassinations, and outright lies, these countries will have tensions between them raised significantly, ensuring the buying of our resources in case of war. I have several disinformation campaigns prepared, as well as numerous antimemetic agents to obfuscate the true amounts of resources the opposing countries have from each other, causing confusion and panic. Again, this basically guarantees that the customers will buy up our stock. There are numerous other finer details here that I have sent through encrypted files to necessary personnel, but I'm sure you two get the gist of it. - To our success, ~ Skitter Marshall File Opened Under: Operation "Black Gold" Marshall, Carter and Dark, LTD Response 01 Re: Operation "Black Gold Sender Iris Dark Recipient Skitter Marshall I'm in.

Their expressions are unreadable. Marshall sits at the head of a large, circular, oak wood table, rubbing his temples with his hands.) Marshall: Come in. We need to talk. (Carter and Dark both take seats.) Carter: There any reason you called us in? Dark: Well, it definitely wasn't to have a nice, rosy chat about how well we're doing. (Marshall shoots Dark a glance.) Marshall: 10 points to Dark. What the fuck have you two been doing? Carter: I don't follow. Profits are up, t- Marshall: That's not what I mean. I don't give a shit about the profits right now- Dark: That's a first. (Marshall glares at her.) Marshall: Actually, I'd like to ask you a question, Iris. Dark: Go on. Marshall: I gave you free reign over the placement of the oil. So, out of all the places you could've picked, why was in the middle of a rainforest? (Dark sighs.) Dark: Look, there wasn't enough space anywhere el- (Marshall slams the table with his hand.) Marshall: Don't try to feed me bullshit. There was plenty of space in barren, empty country all across the world, but you decided to but it there. And then, you had the audacity to try not only hide it, but lie about where it was. Why? Dark: (silence) Marshall: And you, Robert. I said hire people to work the machines, not start a goddamn sweatshop by tricking poor people in third-world countries. (Carter smiles very briefly, but quickly covers it with his hand. Marshall doesn't seem to notice.) Carter: Look, I ca- Marshall: No. You've both already spouted enough lies over the past months. I just don't understand what's gotten into the both of you. We're businesspeople, not tyrants. We don't destroy the environment or roster people into slavery just because we can, we do it when there's incentive. Where's the incentive here? Iris, you could easily place your oil into some desert in the middle of nowhere. Carter, you could easily pay the people in your factories double the minimum wage with no net loss. So, why aren't you doing that? What's wrong with you both? (Dark and Carter are both silent.) Marshall: Well? (Dark sighs.) Dark: We're making money and gaining power, Marshall. That's all that matters. When the fuck has anything other than that concerned you? Carter: I agree with her. When'd you suddenly go all soft on us, Marshall? Marshall: Are you seriously trying to turn this onto me? Accusing me of going soft? No. You're both completely out of control, so get a grip. Iris, there's no point in having a monopoly over the world's fossil fuels if there's no world left. Carter, don't you remember where you started? As a kidnapped child forced into slavery in Jakarta? (Marshall sighs.) We've all done terrible things in the name of profit, of power, before. I won't deny that. But only because there was reason to do so. This? This isn't reason. This is madness. This is out of line. And if I find out that either of you continue this at any point in the future behind my back, I am cancelling this operation, profits be damned. Now get out of my sight. (Dark and Carter rise stiffly, then leave. Marshall sighs, before turning around to the large window behind him and staring into the city. He continues this for 5 minutes, then turns to leave.) (As he passes Iris Dark's seat, he notices something.) Marshall: Hmm? (Marshall examines something unseen on the seat, his body obscuring the object from the cameras. As he moves away, fingers covered in a viscous black liquid, a small, vaguely humanoid figure constructed of what appears to be oil can be made out. It is melting into the seat, left behind. Quickly, Marshall moves to Carter's seat, and another small humanoid figure, this time constructed of cogs and machinery, can barely be seen. Like the previous, it is rapidly degrading, having been abandoned. Marshall frowns, his lips pursed. He exits the room.) [END LOG] On the 20th of June, 2018, the Foundation received a distress call from Skitter Marshall from within a warehouse in the city of Ontario. + Transcript of Distress Call from Skitter Marshall - 20/6/18 + - Close - AUDIO LOG - MC&D WAREHOUSE 57-A DATE: 20/6/18 NOTE: Unless explicitly stated otherwise, Marshall is whispering throughout the phone call. [BEGIN LOG] Agent Carlson: Hello? Marshall: Look, I get that our organisations aren't exactly on friendly terms, but- Agent Carlson: I'm sorry, but who am I speaking to? Marshall: Skitter Marshall, of Marshall, Carter, Dark. I'm sending you my location now. (Agent Carlson receives a message detailing Marshall's location.) Agent Carlson: Why are you calling us? Unless you've got a cure for magic, then there's nothing you can offer us that we'd be interested in. Marshall: Do you seriously think I'd call you for that? I've got much better cli- goddammit. I'm getting off-topic. It's… it's Carter. Carter and Dark. They've- I don't know. They aren't themselves anymore. Agent Carlson: We aren't some kind of therapy service, you know. If there's problems in your relationsh- Marshall: Shut. Up. When I say they aren't themselves any more, I don't mean our fucking friendship. I mean they've gone completely insane. Agent Carlson: Again, I don't- Marshall (talking over Agent Carlson): Did I forget to mention? The both of them got exposed to your secret little extradimensional parasite. 3396 is the number, I believe. Agent Carlson: That's highly classified information! How- Marshall: Do not interrupt me. It doesn't matter how I know, all that matters is that they're both insane and have highly unstable and extremely powerful magical abilities. Also, they're trying to convert me to their own fucked-up philosophy of, well, here it is now. (The sound of rustling is heard, presumably Marshall positioning the phone outwards to pick up external sound better. Carter and Dark can be heard rambling in the background.) Carter: Marshall, Marshall, Marshall. Don't you see? Running won't help. Running won't do anything but delay the inevitable, and a beautiful inevitability it is. The plan? Genius. And with Yawrael's7 help, we'll be able to see it to its fullest extent. An entire world, ruled by industry, sleek machines churning, spotlights reflecting off of freshly polished iron and steel. Dark: Come on, Marshall, don't live up to your first name so shamefully. Fleeing from the products of the plan you were a part of is a cowardly, pitiful thing to do, don't you agree? Perhaps the goal has shifted slightly from what it began as, but the end result is rather the same: total control. Oceans of oil and chemicals, bubbling in smog-tempered sunlight, a world all to ourselves, to do what we want. A world of purest pollution. Carter and Dark: Isn't this what you wanted? (The sound of rustling is heard again as Marshall repositions.) Marshall: Hear that? Totally insane. And their powers have been spiking recently, massive jumps in strength. Dark's got near-total control over oil, fossil fuels, chemicals, you name it, while Carter can create machines that can do literally anything. It's technology like I've never seen. The point is, if these two manage to capture me, they'll turn their eyes to the city next, and things will get really, really ugly. That thing with Mount Bachelor8? That was them. Do you really want them loose in this city? Do you have any idea what they'll do? Agent Carlson: …I see. I've scrambled a Task Force to come collect you, the City Slickers. They're experienced in this kind of thing. ETA five minutes. Marshall: "Boldly they rode and well, into the jaws of Death, into the mouth of hell." Agent Carlson: Looks like you know your poetry. Marshall: Damn right I do. One of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind. Agent Carlson: Agreed. I- (Marshall shushes Agent Carlson and goes silent. In the background, Carter and Dark can be heard screaming while the sound of machinery and oil bubbling sounds around them.) Marshall: Another spike? Now? Shit. Shit. That team of yours better be prepared. They don't take long to recover. Agent Carlson: They'll be prepared; they're being briefed as we speak. Marshall: Good. If I get out of this alive, you and I are having a good drink. You can't be all bad if you can at least enjoy some of the finer things in life. Agent Carlson: (Small chuckle.) The finer things, huh? Such as a bottle of Cognac, perhaps? (Marshall begins to speak, but is interrupted.) Carter, from somewhere above: Found you. (The phone registers several seconds of Marshall shouting indiscriminately over male laughter and the sound of gears and machinery before cutting out.)

Members are seen entering MC&D Warehouse 57-A. SUNRISE is in front, and motions for a standard entry for an aggressor with unknown abilities. Upon opening the front door, a large amount of smoke billows outwards, obscuring visibility.) SUNRISE: Infrared on people. We don't know what we're dealing with, but the aggressors are apparently insane and have unspecified abilities, so be prepared for anything. (The remaining team members give sounds of affirmation. In front of WOLFHOUND, there is nothing but swirling blue. As Pi-1 moves through the door, the sound of female laughter echoes through the warehouse, followed by Marshall’s screaming. SUNRISE motions for the team members to split up into two groups: JESTER and TRACER move to follow SUNRISE, while WHISKEY joins WOLFHOUND.) JESTER, via radio: I’m seeing something on the Hume reader. There’s two entities, one in the centre of the warehouse, and one on the ceiling, about 6 metres from the left wall. Infrared tells me that Marshall’s strung up somewhere near the back of the warehouse by… something. I can’t tell what it is. Our group will be heading via the centre towards Marshall. WOLFHOUND and WHISKEY, you go via the right. SUNRISE, via radio: And remember: our mission is to recover Marshall safely, not to neutralise, or even contain, the anomalies. If you see an opportunity, take it, but if you’re under attack, get out of there. Please, for the love of God, don’t do anything stupid. I’ve got enough paperwork already. (There is light laughter over the radio from the team members.) SUNRISE, via radio: Seriously though, stay safe, and good luck. (WOLFHOUND and WHISKEY begin moving slowly through the warehouse’s interior, staying close to the right wall. After walking for a short time, WOLFHOUND notices something on the floor, nearly invisible to the infrared filter. He motions for WHISKEY to stop, and, careful not to make a sound, draws a binding circle around the object.) WHISKEY, whispering: What the hell’s that thing? WOLFHOUND, whispering: Don’t know. It’s mechanical though, and it’s got a really nasty aura about it. Whatever it is, it isn’t good. (As they continue to move towards Marshall, they come across 4 more of the unknown mechanical devices. WOLFHOUND manages to draw a binding circle around each without incident. Suddenly, JESTER contacts the team via radio once more.) JESTER, via radio: The entities are moving. I repeat, the entities are on the move. WOLFHOUND, WHISKEY, the thing on the ceiling’s moving in your general direction. It’s… dropping things as it’s going along, they’re hard to make out. Some of them are moving as well though, but in random directions. I’ll let you know if it starts getting too close, so be prepared to make an exit on short notice. WOLFHOUND, WHISKEY, via radio: Affirmative. WOLFHOUND, via radio: Actually, those things that it’s dropping, I think they might be mechanical. We’ve seen a couple things that look similar while we’ve been walking. I’ve been able to draw binding circles around them. Got no idea about them other than that, but their auras are so nasty that it probably isn’t a good idea to get close. JESTER, via radio: Good to know. Over and out. (WOLFHOUND and WHISKEY continue forward. There are several large metal storage containers around them, making it difficult for them to identify where they are. As WOLFHOUND is the process of binding another mechanical device, they are interrupted by a slow, rhythmic tapping from the container behind them. WOLFHOUND hastily finishes the binding circle, and motions for WHISKEY to follow him into the space between two containers to their immediate left. As WOLFHOUND pulls WHISKEY into the gap, an unknown, spiderlike entity, about 1 metre tall and wide, shrouded in shadow, is seen slowly emerging from a gap approximately five metres behind them. WOLFHOUND immediately begins performing the complex kinetoglyph ‘Smokescreen’, which would render him and WHISKEY indistinguishable from the surrounding environment. As the kinetoglyph progresses, the rhythmic tapping gets louder, and a blue light becomes visible from around the corner of the container. WOLFHOUND finishes performing the glyph as the unknown entity rounds the corner. It proceeds to scan the area with harsh, blue light, before turning away. When it does, the details of its appearance become visible: an exceedingly complex series of gears, levers, and pulleys, formed into a shape resembling a cross between a spider and octopus with pointed legs. The blue light emanates from its ‘head’, presumably to assist it in seeing in the smoke-filled environment. While WOLFHOUND and WHISKEY stand motionless, the entity turns around to examine the bound unknown device. It tries to touch it, but is repelled with a series of sparks by a white barrier that appears in response to the entity’s appendage. The entity shrieks, before several weapons and tools form from its leg that it uses to attack the barrier. When this is unsuccessful, it pauses, before circling the device, apparently scrutinising it. It stops when it notices a tiny flaw in the binding circle, and lifts its leg to touch the barrier. While the white force field still appears, its light is significantly weaker than before, and no sparks are produced. Triumphant, the entity forms a tool resembling a pair of glowing red pliers on its leg and jams it into the flaw. Red and white sparks are produced, and cracks begin to appear in the barrier. As the entity applies more force, the cracks widen and spread, before the barrier shatters with the sound of breaking glass. The entity chitters in satisfaction, before tapping the mechanical device in a series of places and stepping back. A large swarm of glowing yellow nanomachines emerges from the device and approaches the entity, which begins to chitter, shriek, and tap its legs in an apparent form of communication. The swarm flashes a series of colours for varying periods of time, and then resets to its original golden glow before flying away above WOLFHOUND and WHISKEY. Following this, the entity slowly moves away as WOLFHOUND seems to slump downwards and fall backwards, caught by WHISKEY before they hit the floor. After waiting for a time until the entity’s movement is out of earshot, they begin to breathe heavily, but subduedly.) WHISKEY, whispering: What the fuck was that thing? WOLFHOUND, whispering: I’ll be damned if I know, but thank God I managed to hide us in time. If I’d screwed up, we’d probably both be dead. WHISKEY, whispering: Well, you didn’t, and we’re alive to feel grateful for that. You just collapsed on me though, so just how powerful was that spell? (Pauses.) What was that spell? WOLFHOUND, whispering: Smokescreen. Sigma-class Kinetoglyph. Surrounds the caster and immediate persons in an obscuring field that blends into the surrounding environment. Blocks just about all forms of detection, and thank God for that, because that thing used… (Pause) about 14 different scan methods simultaneously while looking at us. WHISKEY, whispering: Jesus. WOLFHOUND: If that’s just the servant, I’d hate to meet the master. We’d better be even quieter than before, because now we know just how dangerous this can be. Better let SUNRISE know, actually. (WOLFHOUND keys SUNRISE on his radio.) WOLFHOUND, via radio: SUNRISE, we got a problem. We just met a subordinate of one of the main entities, and we almost died. Smokescreen protected us. If worst comes to worst, I'd be able to pull off… two more, but I'd be out of commission for a while after that. Advise? SUNRISE, via radio: Hmm. (There is a long pause.) Continue for now. If you meet another one and have to use Smokescreen again, get out of there. WOLFHOUND, via radio: Got it. (WOLFHOUND and WHISKEY slowly continue forward. As they get closer to Marshall, the number of mechanical devices increases, but all are bound without a problem. Interestingly, no more anomalous automata are encountered throughout the rest of the journey, until WOLFHOUND and WHISKEY reach the final container. Both cautiously look around the container, and gasp softly. Marshall is strung up inside an enormous spiderweb, with thin, metal strands in place of silk. Several of the unknown entities patrol the area, climbing upon and tending to the 'silk' to maintain its structural integrity. Marshall himself lies at the centre, tightly bound in wire, appearing unconscious. SCP-5802-1A is nowhere to be seen. The two MTF members quickly duck back behind the container, and curse quietly.) WOLFHOUND, whispering: Holy shit. Holy shit. How the hell are we supposed to get to Marshall if he's strung up there and surrounded by those spider-things, let alone rescue him! (WHISKEY shrugs helplessly. WOLFHOUND keys in SUNRISE via radio.) WOLFHOUND, via radio: SUNRISE, we've found Marshall. There's a bit of a problem. SUNRISE, via radio: And that problem is..? WOLFHOUND, via radio: He's strung up in some kind of fucked up metal spiderweb, surrounded by at least five of those things that nearly killed us earlier. The ceiling thing's nowhere to be seen. SUNRISE, via radio: Hmm. That does seem to be a problem. WOLFOUND, via radio: Can you get JESTER to tell us where Carter and Dark are? Information would be really important right about know. Don't want to have gotten this far to be assassinated from behind. SUNRISE, via radio: Sure. First though, where are you? In relation to Marshall, that is. Are you coming from the left or right? (WOLFHOUND turns to WHISKEY, who has also noticed the problem. They have a stricken look on their face.) WOLFHOUND, via radio: Being the one that told us which direction to go, you should know. (Pauses.) Where the fuck is the real SUNRISE? Where's the rest of his team? Dark, via radio: Shit. I was hoping that would work. Carter's voice modulator worked like a charm, but I guess there's no accounting for a lack of information, especially when your members clammed up like they did. (Sighs.) Oh well. Guess we'll have to use the 'subordinates' you mentioned. How many Smokescreens did you say you had left? Two? WOLFHOUND, via radio: Fuck you. Dark, via radio: Tsk tsk. You're wasting valuable time insulting me that could be used for running away. Not that you'll escape, of course. See you soon then! (WOLFHOUND turns off the radio. From behind the container, blue lights can be seen sweeping across the area, and the sounds of chittering and tapping can be heard. She turns to face WHISKEY.) WOLFHOUND, whispering: You know how I said I could do two more Smokescreens? (WHISKEY nods.) WOLFHOUND, whispering: That was technically a lie. (She plucks a small flask full of glowing orange liquid out of (presumably) her pocket, shaking it lightly from side to side.) I've got a little something that's slightly illegal right here, and with it, I'll be able to pull off a hell of a lot more than just two Smokescreens. (She sighs.) Like everything though, there's a catch. The catch here is that I die. It's really a last resort, and it'll boost me to near-deific levels for about five minutes before I burn out. When… after I drink this I want you to find SUNRISE, JESTER, and TRACER, and get the hell out of here. For your own safety, don't try to follow me. (WHISKEY looks shocked. As he tries to protest, he is cut off.) WOLFHOUND, whispering: If I had any other option, I'd take it, but these two are much more powerful than I am, totally insane, and letting them run amok puts the entire city at risk. It's either I die, or thousands; that's not really much of a decision. (She smirks.) And besides, I've always wanted to know what being a god feels like, even for just five minutes. (WHISKEY looks on as WOLFHOUND opens the stopper and raises it to her lips. She pauses.) WOLFHOUND, whispering: I'm sorry about this, James, but I don't have a choice. (Camera view switches to WHISKEY. WOLFHOUND walks away, towards the other side of the container, the chittering and tapping getting louder as she does so. She drinks the contents of the flask and shudders, before several ghostly arms appear from her back. When she speaks, her voice has a noticeable echoing quality.) WOLFHOUND: Go. I'd hate for you to be caught up in the crossfire. (She smiles.) I'll see you on the other side, wherever and whenever that may be. (As WHISKEY backs away, WOLFHOUND rounds the corner at a run. Immediately, all of the sweeping blue lights focus on her, and a cacophony of chittering starts. Before she disappears from sight, WOLFHOUND is seen performing several Omega-class kinetoglyphs simultaneously while several of the spider like entities fly backwards, consumed by green flames. The sounds of chittering, Dark's yelling, Carter's laughter, and the crackling of flames or ice, along with several explosions, can be heard as WHISKEY runs. He uses his infrared vision to locate SUNRISE's team, and sprints towards them through a maze of containers, the ground shaking all the while. He finds SUNRISE, JESTER, and TRACER with various severe injuries encased in an unknown hard, white material, attached to the wall of a container. Quickly, WHISKEY brings out a pulse charge, and lays it against the white substance. There is a fast, heavy thumping sound, and the substance, vibrating rapidly, turns to dust. WHISKEY catches SUNRISE and JESTER, and holds TRACER against the wall with his leg. After carefully laying the aforementioned members onto the ground, WHISKEY grabs TRACER, also laying them on the ground. WHISKEY then turns around to survey their injuries. TRACER has laceration wounds across his whole body of variable depth. Several are hissing and producing steam due to the insertion of unknown, presumably caustic chemicals. His breathing is even. JESTER has several large lumps resembling tumours across her face, arms, and chest. Her breathing is slightly uneven. SUNRISE is bleeding from both nostrils, and his left arm has been sliced off and cauterised. Several deflated abscesses with large cuts and leaking yellow fluid, presumably the pierced tumours that are present on TRACER, are visible on his right arm Surveying the damage, WHISKEY revives JESTER and TRACER with smelling salts, and their eyes slowly flutter open.) WHISKEY: Get up. We gotta go. (TRACER and JESTER groan, sitting up slowly.) WHISKEY: Let's go, let's go! (He moves to pick up SUNRISE, putting him on his back.) Use me for support! Come on! (TRACER and JESTER struggle upwards, before putting their arms around WHISKEY's shoulders. Slowly, the four of them walk forward, the ground shaking all the while. They almost collapse several times, but soon, the exit to the warehouse is in sight.) WHISKEY: Just a- just a little further… (Five metres from the door, the sound of tearing metal and screaming can be heard, before WOLFHOUND yells something that cannot be made out. Immediately after this, an extremely powerful explosion occurs, and the shockwave is enough to push WHISKEY's group out of the warehouse, which is levelled in the explosion. All camera feeds turn to static.) [END LOG] Concluding Notes: After the conclusion of this log, WHISKEY, JESTER, TRACER, and SUNRISE were recovered. SUNRISE was in critical condition, JESTER and TRACER had moderately severe injuries, and WHISKEY emerged mostly unharmed. Carter and Dark (SCP-5802-1A and -1B) were not found at the scene, presumably having fled. Marshall was found at the former centre of the warehouse, still bound in wire. He was recovered in critical condition, and is currently comatose. WOLFHOUND was also not recovered at the scene, and is presumed dead. She received a formal reprimand for possession of a dangerous illegal substance, and was also awarded a posthumous Foundation Star for her bravery and sacrifice resulting in a successful mission with minimal casualties. Containment or neutralisation of SCP-5802-1A and -1B is of high priority. - Close - From the distress call onwards, several hundred defectors from MC&D Ltd assisted in the SCP-5802 investigation and containment efforts. As investigations continued, the severity of SCP-5802 prompted the assistance of several GoIs into containing and/or destroying SCP-5802. Together with the members of MTF Omega-8 and several other highly skilled MTF personnel, a new MTF was formed for the assassination of SCP-5802-1A and -1B - MTF Tau-7 ("Cease and Desist Ltd.). On 20/10/18, MTF Tau-7 was successful in breaching SCP-5802-1 (then SCP-5802-4). Due to the casualty of all team members, it is currently unknown what happened within SCP-5802-4, save for a telepathic transmission from a former MTF Omega-8 team member: + Transcript of Telepathic Communication - 20/10/18 + - Close - We won. They both put up a hell of a fight; we interrupted them in the middle of a summoning ritual for some god of pollution and industry, called… Y-something. We saw and heard it trying to claw its way out of the half-formed gateway they'd managed to create while we were fighting, some massive construction of impossibly complex machinery and screaming humanoid figures made of oil and chemicals. I can see and hear it now, in my head. It was so… oily, so wrong. The memories are like a stain on my mind. Carter and Dark, I can see how they couldn't fight against this thing's will. I tried to establish a mental link, and their minds… they were just screaming. Below all the insane ranting, the sounds of machinery and oil and chemicals, they were screaming the same two words over and over: 'Stop us'. Dark fell first. Several energy lances through her chest, God knows how many blasts of fire and lightning, and a Nova-class bomb directly to the skull, all followed by total purification by Kieran finally managed to kill her. Carter went next. When Dark died, he just screamed and his machinery went berserk, spewing bullets and explosives everywhere. But he left his control box9 open, and it wasn't long until we destroyed it and suddenly, his machinery froze and powered down. The gateway started to collapse after he died. That god? It's been forced backwards, back to wherever it came from, screaming and thrashing all the way. So we succeeded. But that gateway's going to take all of us with it when it finishes collapsing, a lethal dose of Akiva radiation to everything in a 1km radius. Kieran says he's going to make sure we don't get corrupted along with everyone else that's died, and that he'll stop this pollution from spreading further. I hope he can. Foundation, we're already dead in the dark. Corpses that'll likely never be recovered. But at least we can die knowing that you'll continue our work in the light. For us that have died. For us that will die. For all of us. Can you promise me that? Footnotes 1. Extreme biological/chemical/thaumaturgical hazard with a capacity to spread. 2. Numbering over 10000 in total. 3. For example, the AQI of SCP-5802 is, on average, 482, while SCP-5802-1's AQI is far beyond 500, the most severe measure. 4. A long, tapered tube which creates brief, localised fields of massively increased Humes for the harvesting of unstable anomalous material. 5. An exponential scale measuring the strength of SCP-3396-01 instances through a variety of factors (such as Hume displacement, measured 'output', etc.). 6. It is unknown how Marshall, Carter, and Dark had knowledge of this highly classified SCP object. 7. Believed to be the entity described within Dark's journal. 8. Referring to an incident involving the exceedingly violent eruption of the extinct volcano through unknown means. Ordinary volcanic products were replaced with various pollutants both mundane and anomalous. Fallout caused massive damage to the surrounding environment. 9. This 'control box' was not noted on Carter's corpse, and presumably contained his consciousness. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5802" by TheAlienBaby, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5803 | neutralized | Vivarium Hey there! You should read some of the other stuff I made… or not! I'm not the boss of you, do whatever you want! More From This Author More From This Author Vivarium's Works SCPs SCP-6696 • SCP-496 • SCP-5120 • Tales/GoI Formats Progressive Retrograde • LaRue Post - Willie's shine • Talking To Myself • How To Fish: An Official Guide • Try Again? • Other Vivarium's Author Page • Item#: 5803 Level1 Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: warning link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5803 is to be contained inside of a hermetically sealed cell equipped with a recording device. Personnel are allowed to listen to recordings of SCP-5803. All materials left behind by SCP-5803 are to be stored in a standard item locker. Description: SCP-5803 is a man whose atomic structure has been altered through unknown means. The alterations allow SCP-5803, and its possessions, to exist perpetually in an intangible state. SCP-5803 is dressed in a standard WW2 era uniform and is constantly in possession of a violin contained inside of a carrying case. SCP-5803 shows no signs of cognizance except on May 28th. On this date, SCP-5803 will attempt to leave its containment through non aggressive means. When SCP-5803 is unsuccessful in breaching containment, It will remove the violin from the case, and proceed to play a collection of compositions, ending with an original piece. The music SCP-5803 plays has been found to have no anomalous effects. After SCP-5803 has finished its performance, It will stare into the case for the remainder of the day. Attempts to look inside have failed due to SCP-5803 closing the case the moment personnel enter the containment cell. A list of songs played by SCP-5803 on May 28th can be found below. Dans l'intimité, Op. 19 Sonata No. 0 Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 Due studi 30 Preludes (in all keys) Fantaisie Concertante Sonata No. 2 Untitled composition by SCP-5803 Discovery: SCP-5803 manifested in Washington Artillery park, New Orleans on June 6th 1944. The entity was contained inside of a movable hermetically sealed cell, and transported to Site-97. Two witnesses, a woman and a teenage girl, have been administered amnestics. Recovery location of SCP-5803. Addendum.01: On 05/28/2012, an organized raid conducted by the Serpent's Hand compromised the containment of 5 Euclid-Class objects and 2 Keter-Class objects, including SCP-5803. After the incident, a surveillance camera located at Lafayette Cemetery captured a video of SCP-5803 standing in front of the grave of Linda Liddell. SCP-5803 proceeded to play its collection of compositions, and upon completion, collapsed in front of the grave. SCP-5803 was found to no longer possess anomalous properties, allowing researchers to study the corpse. An autopsy of the body found the cause of death to be multiple bullet holes located in the sternum of the subject. SCP-5803 has been confirmed to have perished during the Battle of Normandy on June 6th 1944. A search of the subject found a set of dog tags with the name John Liddell and a piece of sheet music titled "One More Song For You". A note was written on the back of the sheet music reading I love you Linda. Happy birthday. I will be home when the war is done. The violin and its case have also been recovered. A photograph of a girl approximately 15 years of age was found taped to the inside of the case. All materials recovered have been found to be non-anomalous, and have been transported to Site-97 storage. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5803" by Vivarium, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5804 | euclid | The very first image of SCP-5804-B and SCP-5804-C (censored) captured by Voyager 1 in 1982. Item #: SCP-5804 Special Containment Procedures: Local newspapers from the ██████ municipality of Namibia must be monitored for mentions of SCP-5804-A. Any suspicious publication must be censored and the publishers interrogated. The Hane people are to continue to practice their faith unimpeded. As human spacecraft seldom visits SCP-5804-B and -C, no containment procedures are currently implemented. Should any space agency plan such an encounter, embedded Foundation agents are to gain access to the spacecraft before launch and fit it with an S-Mute module designed to induce a failure of the communication systems. Description: SCP-5804-A is a monotheistic religion traditionally practiced by the Hane1 people of Namibia. It follows a calendar divided into cycles of exactly 54 years and 6 months. At the end of each cycle, a ceremony is organized which culminates in the sacrifice of a deceased elder's skull in honor of the deity. The first documented sacrifice took place in 1584 and the latest in 2016, with an exception in 1962 as the Hane failed to sacrifice a skull. SCP-5804-B is a comet orbiting the sun with a period of 54 years and 6 months. Upon reaching perihelion, a human skull materializes a few hundred meters above the surface before slowly falling towards the object. There are currently [REDACTED] skulls visible on the surface. So far, every perihelion saw the fall of a skull, with the notable exception of the 1962 perihelion. SCP-5804-C is a human penis orbiting SCP-5804-B at an altitude of 1.3 km. The object has been deteriorated by solar wind and cannot be further analyzed. SCP-5804-C was discovered in 1982, but was already in dire condition at this time. Since 1954 observations of the comet by the Foundation showed no anomaly, SCP-5804-C appeared some time between 1954 and 1982, possibly in 1962 in correlation with a failed Hane ceremony and the absence of a skull above SCP-5804-B. A Hane priest during a ceremony. it is believed the mask visible on the picture is a personification of SCP-5804-B. The general timeline of an SCP-5804-A ceremony is as follows: The Hane decorate the streets of their villages as they wait for rainfall. An altar is assembled. As the sun sets, young adults and children begin dancing and chanting while the elders consume Ru, an alcoholic beverage made from yeast and barley. The Head Priest carries the skull of a chosen elder to the altar as well as a decorated iron axe called a Tela. As the drinking and dancing continues, the Head Priest recites a prayer while swinging the axe. A black, circular artifact of unidentified nature appears on the surface of the altar. The Head Priest pushes the skull into the artifact. The artifact disappears as the Hane cheer. At this point, a new skull appears above SCP-5804-B. When the rain stops, flower petals are set alight and thrown into the air. The rising heat carries them up in glowing plumes. It is believed the Hane had no means of observing outer space before the 19th century. The source of their knowledge of SCP-5804-B's period remains unidentified. Addendum: In 2015, the Hane people entrusted Foundation agents with a journal written by Belgian explorer Charles Karneau, which may explain the origin of SCP-5804-C. Below are selected excerpts of the journals. Date: October 12th, 1962 Today marks the beginning of the Karneau adventure into the South West African jungle. Generously sponsored by the Maquerot family after acquiring great wealth from their enterprises in the Belgian Congo, this journey into the wild and savage Deep Green will unveil countless wonders: birds, flowers, or even apes, with any luck. I will immortalize all of these magnificent forms with my newest camera. Participants will include Charles Karneau — myself, my wonderful wife Julie, our two sons, Thomas and David, as well as a long term family friend and his wife, Victor and Clara Alloniers, whose daughters Eugénie and Laure will also participate. Four experienced guides will protect us against the dangers of the wilderness. May God bless us with the sight of a thousand wonders. Date: October 20th, 1962 Today will forever be a cursed day for the Karneau family. After a day of rough trekking, it was decided to set up camp for an evening of leisure. The children were playing around the dinner table while my wife and I enjoyed a beer with Victor and Clara. The children wanted to play with the guides' rifles; we gave in, and a rifle was unloaded and given to them, despite the guides' protestations. However, as they swung it energetically, a phenomenon manifested. It was an ominously dark circle placed on the ground. I shamefully admit that I and the other three adults had ingested too much beer to correctly deal with the unknown occurrence. Later in the night, after regaining our intelligence, we were woken up by a scream. We ran out of the tents, to see Victor kneeling where the artifact would have been situated, clutching his nether regions. Laure told us about the artifact, and Victor confessed that, still inhebriated and riddled with curiosity, he tried to insert his virile member into it. Victor was given ether so he could ignore the pain while the guides disinfected the wound. The journey was ended prematurely and after a short night, we began trekking back to the edge of the jungle. This misfortune shall serve as testimony of the cruelty of the jungle. Date: October 21st, 1962 After leaving the forest, we witnessed a spectacular occurrence. Large plumes of luminescent orange matter rose to the skies and illuminated the night. To this day, I do not know whether these were insects, or some unknown southern aurora. A few days ago, I would have opened my mouth to such a sight. Now, it is undoubtedly a warning to never come again. The jungle has a soul; it is a animal. Leashed to a pole, it will bite all who come close. Addendum: Interview of a Hane elder about the failed ceremony of 1962. Interviewer: Dr Vicat Interviewee: Mane Tenehara, Hane elder Date: 2017/12/12 Dr Vicat: Thank you for your time. Let us begin with a recount of the events. Mane Tenehara: I remember that day very fondly. A euphoric folly had awaken in the villagers' hearts. A sparkle of light and joy which signified that finally, it was time again to satisfy the Empress of Light. As the rain wet the soil of the village roads, the innocent began agitating their bodies furiously while the wise sipped the Drink of the Dreamers. As I was dancing, I witnessed the Head Priest come out of his house, the beautiful Tela in one hand, and in the other, the terrifying remains of an elder whose tale had long been drowned in Ru. As he chanted, and swung the Tela with great energy, the villagers waited for the Dheta to appear, as was foretold by the prophecy, and for the Head Priest to push the elder's skull into the soul of the Empress of Light. Alas, as he wielded the Tela with greater force and chanted with greater assurance, nothing happened. Eventually, under the curious stares of many youngsters, he abandoned. No one among the innocents knew what should happen next. The prophecy was supposed to be accomplished, without fail. However, since the elders had already drowned their souls in Ru, it was decided that the dancing would continue until further instructions. Those never came; flower petals were set alight and released in beautiful warm auroras. The next day, the innocent woke up with wonderful memories, and the elders, with an unforgettable headache. To this day, I still wonder if they ever knew that the ceremony failed. Dr Vicat: What could have possibly gone wrong? Was it the Head Priest's fault? Mane Tenehara: I do not believe so. It is foretold that anyone in the land of the Hane, who wields an iron weapon while the young dance and the elders drink a beverage of yeast and barley, can summon the Soul of the Empress of Light. No, I believe someone opened the Dheta before we had the chance; it can only happen once every 54 years. No more than that. Dr Vicat: So if, say, people who happened to be nearby accidentally created those conditions, then inserted a male body part into the "Dheta"… then… Mane Tenehara: (Chuckles) If I have to be completely honest, this is a haunting question for every Hane man.

SCP-5805 | safe | 2/5805 LEVEL 2/5805 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-5805 Safe SCP-5805 in containment Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5805 has been integrated into the Aural Studies laboratory of Site-11. As a precaution, all transmissions from SCP-5805 are to be passed through memetic and cognitohazard filters before being committed to long-term storage. Digital playback devices wishing to access the archive may tune to Channel 101 via local access. Description: SCP-5805 is a 'Zenith' brand AM radio which has been playing improvised, small-ensemble jazz since at least 1982. The branding and construction of the radio are consistent with manufactory in the 1970s, and there are otherwise no anomalous components to the device aside from its ability to operate indefinitely and without an apparent source of power. Discovery Log: SCP-5805 was initially discovered in 1982 at a campground in the Cascade Valley Park, near Akron, Ohio when a vacationing Foundation researcher and his wife were unable to locate their assigned rental cabin. Unintentionally entering a portion of the park not intended for public use, the couple overheard jazz music and traced it to an unmarked cabin obscured by brush and overgrowth. The interior face of the cabin door contained a number of crude etchings. Summer of '75 Martha Jean Darin G Johnny T Billy W Summer of '76 Martha Jean + Darin G Johnny T + Billy W Summer of '77 Mr & Mrs. Darin and Martha G Billy W Summer of '80 Billy Walters We remember John Several personal effects were also located inside of the cabin: 1L bottle of 'Old Crow' brand whiskey, approximately one-quarter full. 'Dutch Masters' cigar box, containing 4 of 5 cigars. 8 polaroid photos containing images of 4 unidentified individuals in various recreational scenes. 4 polaroid photos containing images of 2 unidentified males on a dock. These photos are severely damaged by water. 2 matching silver wedding bands, 1 severely corroded. Update: 06-01-2005 SCP-5805's programming was interrupted for the first time since having been brought into Foundation custody. After approximately thirty seconds of empty air, a masculine voice spoke the following phrase: "This one's for you, Johnny, wherever you are. Alright, fellas, let's run it one more time, from the top. A-one, a-two, a-one-two-three." SCP-5805 then began transmitting music once again. No additional interruptions have since been recorded. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5805" by ManyMeats, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5806 | safe | Item Number: SCP-5806 Anomaly Containment Procedures: SCP-5806 is to be constantly monitored remotely by a single guard stationed undercover within Kenton, Oklahoma. Flowered Acres Complete Care Center has been bought by Foundation cover organizations and cordoned off under the guise of a construction site run by town officials. Personnel are not to enter SCP-5806 under any circumstances unless stated otherwise by O5 Command. Anomaly Description: SCP-5806 is room 23 of the Flowered Acres Complete Care Center, a nursing home located on the outskirts of Kenton, Oklahoma. SCP-5806 resides in a separate wing of the facility, placed farther away from other patient residences, offices, and storage units. The entrance to SCP-5806 is sealed off through presumed anomalous means. Room 23's locking mechanism is not engaged and while the doorknob will turn when prompted, the door itself will not move when pushed against, remaining completely immobile. Underneath the placard signifying SCP-5806's room number is a smaller plaque that is partially obscured due to heavy corrosion and staining.1 Graphite rubbings have revealed the plaque to read "D artm nt of Ab mal t s." SCP-5806's secondary trait regards the nursing home's body of staff. Those that previously worked in the Flowered Acres Complete Care Center do not respond to any questioning or mention of SCP-5806. This persists even when subjects are placed under extreme duress. It is currently inconclusive if the staff's unwillingness to speak of SCP-5806 is due to an extreme circumstantial social taboo or if it is an anomalous aspect of SCP-5806 itself. Addendum 5086.1A: On 11 November 2018 at 7:33 PM local time, SCP-5806's entrance was viewed in an open state. Site-88 was immediately contacted for backup, sending a unit of armed MTF agents as well as a research unit to analyze any samples or artifacts located on-site. SCP-5806 consists of a standard housing unit divided into two main spaces; a general lounge and living quarters, and an attached bathroom unit. The living quarters appears to be in slight disarray, with signs of water damage on the north, east, and southern walls of the room, as well as portions of the ceiling. The carpet is constantly damp and filthy, saturated with sand, dirt, and metal fragments. There is a recliner facing a window on the eastern wall of SCP-5806. Wedged in-between the cushions of the recliner are three human teeth in the later stages of decay. A rusted locket was also discovered, containing a grayscale portrait photo of an unknown individual. Their face is unidentifiable due to mildew. There is an engraving inside the opposite half, reading, "My Lisa." At the center of the living quarters is an opening in the ground in the approximate shape of a human figure. There are separate extensions branching from the center that would accommodate for every limb, including the head. The edges of the opening appear to be covered in condensed formations of mold. The mold itself produces a black mucus-like substance that causes a burning sensation when in contact with human skin. The opening's exact depth is inconsistent, with estimates ranging between 2 to 5 meters. The bottom of the opening is covered in a coagulated layer of the black substance. Three documents have been recovered from the pit: A sepia photograph of SCP-5806's interior. The room is clean and in good condition. A torn page, presumed to be from a ledger or notebook of some kind. The ink has bloomed due to exposure to moisture and the handwriting is illegible. A heavily damaged document bearing an altered Foundation insignia. SCP-5806's bathroom unit is covered in a thin layer of grime, its tile grout in advanced stages of molding. Every attempt to successfully clean the tiles or bathroom facility has failed. Addendum 5806.1B: On 11 November 2018 at 8:12 PM local time in Ottowa, Kentucky, one Margaret Belford was admitted into an emergency room exhibiting symptoms similar to food and/or chemical poisoning. Belford was seen continuously vomiting by both family and hospital staff as they attempted to treat her, with nurses marking down the unusual color and viscosity of the subject's expelled fluids. Belford was viewed writhing in pain as her condition worsened, with witnesses describing her vocalizations as "wet" and "gurgling." Of note; it is reported that in a sudden moment of clarity, Belford turned to her adult daughter, one Dina Belanger, and stated, "Please, don't let him take me." Belford then expelled massive amounts of the viscous fluid from her mouth and nostrils before losing consciousness. Her body then began to rapidly decay to the shock of those still in the room. Belford's remains then began to corrode the cot around them, causing the remains to sink through it and into the floor. Amongst the decayed remains of her abdominal organs, an intact fingernail was found. When Foundation researchers cross-referenced documentation regarding the employees of Flowered Acres, Margaret Belford was listed as having been an assistant nurse that was active between 1962 to 1975. Various comments from her superiors are transcribed below; She has such a way with the patients - she treats them as if they were her own family. Truly, one of our very best. What happened was a shame. She was so close to Lawrence, after all. Footnotes 1. This appears to be due to extremely old age. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5806" by Quicksilvers, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-5806.

SCP-5807 | euclid | SCP-5807 prior to containment, resting on a docked ship. Item #: SCP-5807 Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-5807 are to be contained within a reasonably sized aviary, complete with an assortment of coastal plants and a pool designed for wildlife of similar sizes to SCP-5807, located at Site-43. SCP-5807 is to be given 6 fish, each of which is approximately 1 kilogram dispensed by a tank in its pool once every 24 hours. SCP-5807 should be given bimonthly psychiatric evaluation or if it expresses abnormal psychiatric behavior. Each SCP-5807 instance is permitted to read Ms. Cooley's file once a week upon its request. During these periods, SCP-5807 is permitted to suggest alterations to Ms. Cooley's file. These alterations can be accepted or denied by the site manager. In the event of a containment breach, SCP-5807 instances should be captured and returned to its aviary by a weighted rubber net. Description: SCP-5807 is a triad of fully grown male brown pelicans. SCP-5807 instances collectively refer to each other as brothers, though genetic testing to determine biological relations have proven inconclusive. Each pelican possesses the ability to speak the English language, despite lacking a properly adapted larynx, teeth, or tongue. SCP-5807-1 is the oldest of the three instances and shows extremely protective behavior over other instances of SCP-5807. In contrast, SCP-5807-2 shows pestering behavior, commonly harassing personnel assigned to its containment and will persistently inquire about topics such as modifying its feeding schedule. SCP-5807-2 overall has proven to be the most aggressive compared to other instances of SCP-5807. SCP-5807-3 is the youngest instance of SCP-5807, has the smallest beak size, and prefers to remain silent in the presence of Foundation staff in most situations. SCP-5807 shows signs of confusion when referred to as such and, proceeding Interview Log 5807-1, were requested that they are given alternative designations. SCP-5807-1 addressed themselves as "David", SCP-5807-2 as "Thomas" and SCP-5807-3 as "Vincent." SCP-5807 explained that a woman by the name of "Ethel" had given these names to them as chicks. Instances are occasionally unresponsive to their designations and, as such, their supposed names may be used in interviews as necessary. Discovery: SCP-5807 was apprehended in Shipyard Villas in Fort Myers, Florida, on March 6, 2017. SCP-5807 was seen interrogating two women, inquiring for the whereabouts of an Ethel Ellice Cooley. Ms. Cooley was a Caucasian woman who resided within Fort Myers, Florida, until she expired at the age of 72 on April 29, 2012, in the Cape Coral Hospital due to her gastrointestinal stromal tumor that had been present in her body for approximately a year. Both SCP-5807 and the two women were apprehended; the women were given Class-B amnestics and released 5 hours later. Once contained, SCP-5807 was interrogated about its reasoning for searching for Ms. Cooley. Incident Log 5807-1 Upon retrieval of SCP-5807, SCP-5807-2 was observed by a passing fisherman uttering several expletives to a field agent who had apprehended SCP-5807-1 and 3. The fisherman eventually moved to a further distance when SCP-5807-2 began verbally harassing him for "looking at him the wrong way." SCP-5807-2's distraction is what allowed field agents to recover them. March 6, 2017, Interview Log 5807-1: Interviewed: SCP-5807 Interviewer: Dr. Perrigo Foreword: Upon being transferred to a standard aviary in Site-43, the following interview was conducted. SCP-5807 appears distressed and distracted. <Begin Log> Dr. Perrigo: Hello SCP-5807. I have some questions for you. SCP-5807-3: Excuse me, do you know Ethel? Dr. Perrigo: Who? SCP-5807-2: Big lady, couldn't miss 'er. SCP-5807-3: Don't say that! She's the only one that fed you! Dr. Perrigo: This Ethel, she fed you? SCP-5807-1: Fed all of us. Dr. Perrigo: What did she feed you? SCP-5807-1: Crackers mainly. SCP-5807-3: So, where is she? Dr. Perrigo: We'll have to find out. SCP-5807-2: Well, tell us when you find her, would you? <End Log> Closing Statement: The Foundation discovered a small digital hospital record that held Ms. Cooley's expiration information and revealed that she had expired 5 years previously. Dr. Perrigo thought it unwise to inform SCP-5807 that Ms. Cooley expired and continued to feign ignorance of Ms. Cooley's whereabouts. Incident Log 5807-2 SCP-5807-2 inquired about the timing of their feeding schedule. When the maintenance staff responded "In 5 hours", SCP-5807-2 began violently cuffing maintenance staff near the base of the neck. When SCP-5807-1 attempted to stop them, they sustained the same treatment as the maintenance staff. March 10, 2017, Interview Log 5807-2: Interviewed: SCP-5807 Interviewer: Dr. Perrigo Foreword: SCP-5807 appears increasingly agitated and has continued to ask where Ms. Cooley is located to multiple doctors and maintenance staff. <Begin Log> Dr. Perrigo: How are you feeling, SCP-5807? SCP-5807-2: Where is she? Dr. Perrigo: We still don't know. SCP-5807-3: Just let us out and we can find Ethel! Dr. Perrigo: I'm afraid we can't do that. [SCP-5807-1 reaches over the table to Dr. Perrigo's clipboard while the doctor is speaking to SCP-5807-2 and SCP-5807-3] Dr. Perrigo: I have a few questions to ask you actually. Firstly, when was your last meeting with- SCP-5807-1: You know. Dr. Perrigo: What? SCP-5807-1: Ethel. You know about Ethel. Dr. Perrigo: What? What are you talking about? SCP-5807-1: Your clipboard. [SCP-5807-1 makes eye contact with Dr. Perrigo and remains silent] SCP-5807-3: Where is she then? SCP-5807-2: Let us out so we can find her! <End Log> Closing Statement: Dr. Perrigo has been dismissed following this interview due to inattentive work relating to SCP-5807. Incident Log 5807-3 SCP-5807-3 asks SCP-5807-1 "What's wrong". SCP-5807-2 responds with "Shh; he's mating". SCP-5807-3 retreated to a corner of the aviary, where they did not observe SCP-5807-1 harassing SCP-5807-2. March 12, 2017, Interview Log 5807-3: Interviewed: SCP-5807-1 Interviewer: Dr. Jean-Paul Foreword: SCP-5807-1 was separated from SCP-5807-2 and SCP-5807-3 for questioning. It is worth noting that SCP-5807-1 has not informed SCP-5807-2 or SCP-5807-3 of the current state of Ms. Cooley. <Begin Log> Dr. Jean-Paul: I will not hide this from you SCP-5807-1, we are surprised that you haven't shared the condition of Ms. Cooley with anyone. SCP-5807-1: I didn't tell them because I'm not like you, doctor. Unlike you, I care for the safety, and what's more, the hope of my brothers. Dr. Jean-Paul: The information would hurt them? SCP-5807-1: The same way it should hurt someone like you. Dr. Jean-Paul: Do you plan on escaping, SCP-5807-1? SCP-5807-1: The dead stay dead, doctor. <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-5807-1 returned to its aviary and resumed usual behavior. Dr. Jean-Paul believes that SCP-5807-1 will not attempt to breach containment, while SCP-5807-2 and SCP-5807-3 may pursue extrication. Addendum 5807-1: SCP-5807-1 was observed informing SCP-5807-2 and SCP-5807-3 of Ms. Cooley's condition. Both instances of SCP-5807 appear distressed and contradict SCP-5807-1. March 24, 2017, Interview Log 5807-4: Interviewed: SCP-5807 Interviewer: Dr. Jean-Paul Foreword: All instances of SCP-5807 show symptoms of grief and depression. Prior to this interview, SCP-5807 used minimum required amounts of speech to request food and assistance. <Begin Log> Dr. Jean-Paul: How are you SCP-5807? [SCP-5807 is unresponsive] Dr. Jean-Paul: I know you're upset. SCP-5807-2: Well, that clears things up. Ethel's dead and it's your fault! If you had let us go, she would've been fine! Dr. Jean-Paul: Ms. Cooley has been dead for five years. SCP-5807-2: Why even keep us here, you know? It's not worth your time. You've done your part. Dr. Jean-Paul: What would that part include? SCP-5807-2: Keeping us from Ethel! That's all you've done. And now- and now she's gone. [SCP-5807-3 moves to SCP-5807-1 and emits a whimpering vocalization] <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-5807-1 and SCP-5807-3 remain within one meter of one another for the remainder of the day. SCP-5807-2 is observed uttering several expletives inside of its aviary. April 5, 2017, Interview Log 5807-5: Interviewed: SCP-5807-3 Interviewer: Dr. Jean-Paul Foreword: SCP-5807-1 and SCP-5807-2 have begun to accept Ms. Cooley's condition and have been seen speaking to and comforting one another. SCP-5807-3 seems to still possess some symptoms of depression. <Begin Log> Dr. Jean-Paul: Hello SCP-5807-3. SCP-5807-3: Hello doctor. Dr. Jean-Paul: How are you feeling about Ms. Cooley? SCP-5807-3: … I feel like everyone else has moved on, but I just can't. It's not like I don't want to. She was the only one who put up with us and now that she's gone I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Dr. Jean-Paul: Ms. Cooley meant a lot to you. SCP-5807-3: But she wouldn't want me- us to stay sad. Ethel didn't want us to be sad. I guess that's the point. Dr. Jean-Paul: The point of what? SCP-5807-3: I guess I can't just… wait for her to come back. It's not going to happen. And now there's not really a point to keep looking for her. Even if there was… she wouldn't want that. She wouldn't want that. <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-5807-3 appears noticeably more contented when exiting the interview and returning to its aviary. Incident Log 5807-4 Upon returning to its aviary, SCP-5807-3 received a mackerel from Dr. Jean-Paul. SCP-5807-2 refused to let SCP-5807-3 enter the aviary until they received the same gift. SCP-5807-1 inquired for the same. Addendum 5807-2: Additional research concerning Ms. Cooley revealed that SCP-5807's requested names (David, Thomas, and Vincent) are the names of Ms. Cooley's husband, brother and son respectively, all of which expired before any instance of SCP-5807 came to know Ms. Cooley. Ethel Ellice Cooley's File ACCESS GRANTED Ethel Ellice Cooley Current Status: Expired Physical Description: Ms. Cooley was a Caucasian, black-haired woman of European descent. Ms. Cooley was moderately overweight and maintained reasonable physical fitness until her husband's expiration. Notable Contacts: Ms. Cooley's father, Dennis Doyle, expired at the age of 56 due to gastrointestinal cancer. Ms. Cooley's mother, Catherine Doyle, expired at the age of 68 due to natural causes. Ms. Cooley spent her childhood within the company of her brother and sister, Thomas Doyle and Deborah Doyle. Thomas sustained a fall of approximately 25 meters at the age of 13 and expired shortly after. Deborah is currently still alive and inhabits an apartment in █████, Nebraska. Ms. Cooley married David Cooley at the age of 22 and conceived their son two years later, who was named Vincent Cooley. Both David and Vincent Cooley expired in a boat crash 16 years following Vincent's birth. Ms. Cooley came into contact with SCP-5807 one year proceeding her husband's expiration. At the time, SCP-5807 had recently hatched and was presumably abandoned or separated from their mother and father. Ms. Cooley designated SCP-5807-1 David, SCP-5807-2 Thomas, and SCP-5807-3 Vincent, clearly named after her expired loved ones. It is unknown at what time Ms. Cooley came to know SCP-5807's anomalous properties. 8 years following Ms. Cooley's possession of SCP-5807, she wrote the following notebook entries. The notebook was recovered from the Cape Coral Hospital shortly after the Foundation had contained SCP-5807. "March 17, 2012 I got the results back. Positive. I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't lose them again." "March 21, 2012 I think David knows. When I was feeding Thomas saltines, he wouldn't stop staring. I have to do something." "April 4, 2012 I've run away. I left when they were all sleeping on the couch. None of them saw me. I left Vincent a loaf of bread. I know he eats when I'm away." "April 26, 2012 I've started talking to the hospital staff, and they all think I'm insane. I miss them. I miss them so much. I don't want to die." Additional Information: Ms. Cooley resided within a bungalow located on ████ street in Fort Myers, Florida. Ms. Cooley's place of residence was demolished 2 years following her expiration. The following letter was recovered from Ms. Cooley's previous place of residence. Dear Ethel, I must say I would not expect you to stay up until 2 in the morning with your "friends", especially after your husband died. You woke Ben up, and I had to get him back to sleep with the racket you were making. My patience is running thin and if you don't quiet down I will report a noise complaint. Lots of love, An annoyed Mrs. Thatcher P.S. Our pelican problem is really getting out of control. I recommend you stop feeding them. Ms. Cooley's response was contained in this letter. Dear Lindsey, I strongly advise you to mind your own business. Luckily for you, my "friends" keep different company than any "friend" you had during high school cheerleading season. I'm so sorry to hear that Ben awoke, let him know that it was his mother who decided to keep him on the opposite side of the house from you and closer to me. Hoping you are well, An aggravated Ms. Cooley P.S. The pelicans stay. The resulting mass of letters grabbed the attention of a majority of Ms. Cooley's other neighbors and, eventually, the Foundation, some years after Ms. Cooley expired. This prompted the Foundation to search for an anomaly within their region of residence and locate SCP-5807. April 30, 2017, Interview Log 5807-6: Interviewed: SCP-5807 Interviewer: Dr. Jean-Paul Foreword: SCP-5807 exhibits usual behavior and is moved to Dr. Jean-Paul without incident. <Begin Log> Dr. Jean-Paul: How are you SCP-5807? SCP-5807-3: Pretty alright, doctor. Dr. Jean-Paul: We have something that might interest you, Vincent. Actually, all of you. [Dr. Jean-Paul opens their case and displays a printed version of Ms. Cooley's file and indicates at her contacts] SCP-5807-2: I don't get it. [All three instances of SCP-5807 remain silent while reading Ms. Cooley's file] SCP-5807-3: Oh. SCP-5807-2: Wait. She didn't. No, she didn't! Our names… they werent for us… SCP-5807-3: They were for her. [SCP-5807-3 laughs] SCP-5807-1: I… thank you doctor. <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-5807 instances were observed comforting one another for the remainder of the day. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5807" by Supposedly Spooky, from the SCP Wiki.

A monthly medical evaluation is to be performed on SCP-5808-1, followed by an inspection of SCP-5808-2's status. The Foundation's Maximus-507 research satellite is to constantly monitor SCP-5808-2 under the supervision of the Site-51 Astronomical Anomalies Department. Direct testing of SCP-5808 is currently restricted; all tests require direct authorization of Dr. Westbrook and Site-51's director. If civilian discoveries occur, Foundation assets in the field of astronomy are to cover and/or discredit all findings relating to SCP-5808. Archived Update 2019/05/22: O5 Command is currently accepting proposals for the neutralization of SCP-5808-2. Description SCP-5808 is an astronomical phenomenon affecting Peter Westbrook (SCP-5808-1) and a lunar satellite that manifested upon its birth. SCP-5808-1 was born on 2009/08/25 at exactly 12:13:38 GMT, measuring 48 cm and weighing 4.8 kg. Its mother, Researcher Debra Westbrook, died during childbirth with no cause of death determined. SCP-5808-1 shows no anomalous properties other than its connection to SCP-5808-2. SCP-5808-2. SCP-5808-2 is a lunar satellite that manifested on 2009/08/25 at exactly 12:13:38 GMT, approximately 20,000 km from Earth. At the time of manifestation SCP-5808-2 measured ~4.8 meters in diameter with a similar radiological composition to Earth I. Annually on August 25, SCP-5808-2 undergoes a rapid expansion in size increasing in magnitude with each year. As of 2019/07/30 SCP-5808-2 measures ~170 meters, which is estimated to increase to ~250 meters on 2019/08/25 Any physical damage occurring to SCP-5808-1 or SCP-5808-2 will directly correlate to damage on the other. The exact means by with SCP-5808 operates is currently unknown but is theorized to be some form of anomalous quantum entanglement. Discovery On 2009/08/25, Dr. Westbrook (Under Director of Astronomical Anomalies Department) confirmed SCP-5808-2's existence moments after it had manifested, during which time his wife, Researcher Westbrook, was giving birth in the Site-51 Medical Wing. The Statistical Analysis Team flagged the event as a statistical anomaly far beyond the chance of naturally occurring. Site-51 was put into temporary lockdown while the situation was analyzed, and SCP-5808-1 was isolated for observation. A high-speed analysis drone (507/A) was dispatched from the Maximus-507 research satellite to run preliminary tests on SCP-5808-2. Once in range, 507/A deployed a penetrating laser on SCP-5808-2 in order to perform spectral analysis. At the exact moment of impact, SCP-5808-1 received a 3rd-degree burn on its left forearm, bringing an immediate halt to testing. Over the next several weeks low-risk noninvasive testing revealed the nature of SCP-5808 and the current containment procedures were enacted. Neutralization Proposal Summaries Due to its rate of expansion SCP-5808-2 will pose an immediate threat to normalcy. As such, O5 Command has authorized the neutralization of SCP-5808-2, under the condition that SCP-5808-1 is not harmed in the process if possible. Astronomical Anomalies Department | SCP-5808 Proposal Use of light refracting drone array to camouflage SCP-5808-2 from civilian observation. Ethics Committee: Approved O5 Command: Denied Reason: While possible as a temporary solution, the long term feasibility of this proposal is low. We need to neutralize SCP-5808-2, not disguise it. Containment Analysis Division | SCP-5808 Proposal Place SCP-5808-1 in a Relativity Exclusion Zone in order to sever the connection to SCP-5808-2. Ethics Committee: Approved O5 Command: Approved Results: The Relativity Exclusion Zone has no effect on SCP-5808. Abrasive testing of SCP-5808-2 led to a broken right ankle on SCP-5808-1. Ballistics Department | SCP-5808 Proposal The detonation of an R5 "Twin Canary"1 on SCP-5808-2. Ethics Committee: Denied O5 Command: Denied Reason: This would undoubtedly lead to the destruction of SCP-5808-1. Astronomical Anomalies Department | SCP-5808 Proposal Use of a B-Class gravitational anomaly to remove SCP-5808-2 from Earth's orbit, making neutralization unnecessary. Ethics Committee: Approved O5 Command: Approved Results: See Neutralization Event addendum. Neutralization Event On 2020/01/18, the Astronomical Anomalies Department utilized SCP-████ to remove SCP-5808-2 from the Earth's gravitational influence. Upon activation of the anomaly, SCP-5808-1 received severe bodily damage with a total of 65 broken bones, internal bleeding, ruptured spleen, and brain damage in a manner typically found in high-speed collisions. SCP-5808-2 was moved approximately 1 km before the test was halted due to injuries sustained by SCP-5808-1. SCP-5808-1 was brought to the Site-51 Medical Wing in terminal condition, though Foundation surgeons were able to stabilize it. Two hours after the initial test Dr. Westbrook demanded all staff leave SCP-5808-1's room before shutting down the security cameras and sealing the room with himself and SCP-5808-1 inside. A monitoring device picked up the following recording: ● Audio Log ● ○ Audio Log ○ [BEGIN LOG] [A chair can be heard scraping against the floor, followed by an exaggerated sigh from Dr. Westbrook. The beeping of SCP-5808-1 monitor can be heard.] Westbrook: Hey kiddo… even after all this you're still holdin' on. Westbrook: Your mother would be so proud of you; you've been so strong these past 10 years. [Dr. Westbrook can be heard lighting a cigarette; SCP-5808-1's monitor continues to beep.] Westbrook: [Heavy exhale.] A lot stronger than I've ever been. I should've quit years ago… before you were born, before the promotion, before your moth… I just should've made more time for her, for everything. Maybe things would've turned out differently. [SCP-5808-1's monitor continues to beep.] Westbrook: You've suffered so much, I'm not gonna' let you suffer anymore. [Several beeps can be heard from SCP-5808-1's IV regulator; its monitor begins to beep faster as well as its respirator.] Westbrook: It's almost over ki-kiddo… almo– [SCP-5808-1's respirator goes silent as its monitor emits a steady tone. SCP-5808-1's time of death recorded as 13:12:35 GMT. Dr. Westbrook can be heard sobbing.] Westbrook: I'm so sorry… [Dr. Westbrook continues sobbing; SCP-5808-1's monitor continues a steady tone.] [END LOG] At 13:12:35 GMT, SCP-5808-2 began to steadily increase in size by a rate of .5 meters an hour. Dr. Westbrook isolated himself in his office following the failed neutralization and refused emergency psychological counsel. At 16:30:45 GMT, a security camera registered a single gunshot originating from Dr. Westbrook's office. SCP-5808-2 instantaneously demanifested at 16:30:45 GMT, effectively neutralizing SCP-5808. This led the Astronomical Anomalies Department to determine Dr. Westbrook to be the unknowing cause of the SCP-5808 phenomenon, prior to self-neutralization. The means by which this occurred is currently being investigated. Footnotes 1. A duel-yield thaumic bomb. |

SCP-5811 | safe | Item #: SCP-5811 Special Containment Procedures: Instructions for SCP-5811 are restricted to Level 4/5811 personnel. Description: SCP-5811 is a technique for the non-surgical removal of the human eye. The process is non-hazardous, and subjects undergoing it experience no discomfort. Removed eyes can then be placed on a new surface medium, which experiences topographical deformations to form a facsimile to a human orbit. Vision through the eye is retained at all points. Test/5811.01: D-WM145's left eye is removed and placed on a table at the center of the testing chamber. Subject becomes heavily disoriented, displaying difficulties with movement until regaining composure after a span of 11 minutes. Eye is returned at the conclusion of testing. Test/5811.02: D-WM146's left eye is removed and applied to the test chamber atmosphere. Stability exists momentarily before air currents from the subject's movements cause rapid ocular dissolution. Vision is retained. SCP-5811 is determined to function for non-physical surface media. Test/5811.03: D-WM147's left eye is removed and is first applied to a powered light bulb in the chamber, then the light emitted from said bulb. The light bulb application yields expected results of blindness; the light application visuals are described to be "gentle, yet yearning." The eye vanishes. Test/5811.04: Researcher Alexandra Maxwell, backup supervisor on Research Team 5811, accidentally removes xyr postorbital lobe while sleepwalking. On reporting an anomalous incident, security teams are dispatched to xyr bedroom and retrieve the lobe, which is put into cryogenic storage. Note Appeals from Researcher A. Maxwell to remove the lobe from storage have been rejected. Test/5811.05: Based on the results of Test/5811.04, D-WM148 is asked to remove their own postorbital lobe. D-WM148 is motionless for 13 seconds until vocalizing that they "made a misplacement." Both D-WM148 and Researcher Radoš C. Stanek, the appointed testing supervisor, are rendered unconscious. Medical personnel find that the brains of both subjects are in REM sleep, displaying identical neurological patterns. Neither regain consciousness. Note Previous proposals to use SCP-5811 as an auxiliary tool alongside SCP-3484 have been unanimously rejected. Researcher A. Maxwell has been appointed as the new testing supervisor. Test/5811.06: Researcher A. Maxwell draws six renditions of a human eye, each to varying degrees of detail and abstraction. Attempts are then made to remove each drawing from the paper and apply them to the chamber wall. Attempts are successful. Test/5811.07: Test/5811.06 is repeated with: Photographed eyes Eyes drawn by other personnel Shapes drawn by personnel following set instructions; outcomes are meant to resemble abstracted eyes, without the intent being stated in the instructions SCP-5811 succeeds on the photographs and the first set of drawings, but fails on the second. The anomaly is hypothesized to be dependent on original intent for a structure to qualify as an "eye." Test/5811.08: SCP-5811 is successfully performed on a handheld camera. Test/5811.09: SCP-5811 is successfully performed on a 144mm reflector telescope. Test/5811.10: SCP-5811 is successfully performed on a digital copy of the film The Wizard of Oz. The eyes of a "Munchkin" background character are extricated from the screen playing the film and are placed separate of it for the duration the film's length, with the character monitored for any abnormalities. Initially, the character displays slight disorientation, but follows the script for the remainder of their time on screen. The eyes vanish on conclusion of the film. On replay, the character remains eyeless, and briefly follows the script until waving at the cast and sitting away from the central events, craning their head as if to stare upwards. Behavior is consistent across subsequent replays. No other effects to the film are present. Test/5811.11: All mentions of the eyes of the character Jordan Baker, present in a copy of the novel The Great Gatsby, are concurrently removed. The plot experiences no changes, though the character is significantly more withdrawn than normal, often described facing the sky and, in one case, holding a telescope not present in the original story. Her last appearance is in Chapter 7, where she abandons the main cast after saying she "needs some time to think." The character is completely missing in all subsequent rereads. Test/5811.12: D-W145, despite having been amnesticized on the exact instructions, performs SCP-5811 on herself while in her chamber. She removes her left eye and, as based on security footage of her hand "phasing" through her head, places it within her mental headspace. The same action is performed on the right eye. Pausing for a moment, she vocalizes that she "gets what's going on now," and vanishes. Security are unable to locate D-W146 in or around the vicinity of the testing facility. Test/5811.13: Researcher A. Maxwell records xyrself temporarily self-enacting SCP-5811. The footage is then replayed on a computer screen within the chamber. All security cameras in the chamber simultaneously deactivate. Note Researcher A. Maxwell has been detained. On footage loss, security teams successfully breached the chamber, and subdued Researcher A. Maxwell before xe could misuse SCP-5811. Within the chamber were anomaly-extricated security camera lenses, drawings of telescopes, and drawings of the postorbital lobe to varying degrees of detail. The computer screen was missing. Researcher A. Maxwell has failed to provide any explanation for xyr actions. No memetic interrogation methods have yielded results. It is by the consensus agreement of the Board of Secure Testing, the Board of Personnel Management, and the Board of Personnel Conduct that Researcher A. Maxwell be removed from SCP-5811 research and reassigned to unrelated work. The Boards further agree that Researcher A. Maxwell be amnesticized to remove all information on the instructions of the anomaly, with xyr rank demoted from Class B to Class C, effective immediately. At this time the Boards deem removal from the Foundation to be unnecessary. Researcher Yasmin Kader has been appointed as the new testing supervisor. Addendum.5811.1: Discovery SCP-5811 was discovered following the disappearance of Dr. Zenia Langley, Researcher A. Maxwell's sibling, on 14/03/2035. Dr. Langley, who was working at the University of Tokyo Atacama Observatory, abruptly input telescope positioning commands independent of observatory operations, and was observed at 03:34 rushing from staff quarters to the TAO 6.5m telescope. Persons investigating the telescope's interior found no traces of Dr. Langley. In zher room, the instructions to SCP-5811 were typed into a .txt file, paired with a message reading "I thought up a way out, Alex. It's going to work." Researcher A. Maxwell reported having no prior knowledge on Dr. Langley's actions. The telescope was trained on NGC-6543 (the Cat's Eye Nebula). ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5811" by NatVoltaic, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5812 | esoteric-class | close Info X Title: SCP-5812 - The Punishment Boat Author: Karathh Made In: 2022 Item #: SCP-5812 Object Class: Eparch1 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5812 is to be contained in Site-77, and the facility/space where this object was found will be sealed off with surveillance cameras mounted around its entrance. Description: SCP-5812 is a small boat vessel, presumably originally designed for private use, with silver plating throughout. It is not equipped with a motor or other power source for aquatic propulsion. One notable feature is the unplated steel cofferdam that is bound to the exterior of the hull by several layers of chains. While the chains are considered easy to remove, the coffin is welded shut barring physical entry. Non-destructive testing has revealed the following contents inside the coffin. Wine (which occupies the volume inside the entire coffin) A humanoid entity (presumed to be already deceased) 5 bullets Wooden stake (through the chest of a humanoid entity, with some manner of plating) SCP-5812 is non-anomalous and has no other features worth mentioning. SCP-5812 was discovered during an earthquake on 2022/02/10 when an unusual noise was heard originating from the basement of Site-77. After investigating the cause of the strange noise, a hatch was unearthed 30 meters further down from the underground level of the site. The hatch led to a corridor, which led to a vast underground space. This space is believed to have been sealed off by a heavy steel door, which was damaged when discovered. It is assumed that it was damaged by repeated earthquakes. The door was marked "Department of Abnormalities," and a placard that had fallen nearby read "The Count Who is Arrogant" in Italian. SCP-5812 was found enshrined in space. The room wherein the anomaly was held is covered with cement. To note, there is a significant amount of damage marks found throughout the walls and ceiling of the space. Also found in the vicinity of SCP-5812 was a Mobile Task Force helmet. The design of the helmet is identical to past designs employed by the Foundation. Alongside this, two pieces of notepaper were found. The helmet bore the Foundation's insignia, an unknown coat of arms, and the notation "MTF Γ-0". The papers, on the other hand, each contained the following statements. Notice: SCP-███ has been placed under the control of the Department of Abnormalities under the direction of O5-11, as it is believed that it is no longer possible for the Foundation to house him. The incarceration and sanctioning will be handled by Mobile Task Force Gamma-0 ("Flaming Sword"). Remove from the main list Amnestics treatment for peoples involved Storage in departmental database [TRANSCRIPTION ERROR] Imprison It should be noted that to date, there is no indication that the Foundation has used the code name Mobile Task Force Gamma-0, and O5-11 has denied any involvement. Further investigation is restricted by the O5 Council. ID and password accepted. Welcome O5-11. Note: Since the staff member in charge of SCP-5812 reported discomfort whilst being near the backmost wall of the room wherein SCP-5812 was found, an additional confidential investigation led by O5-11 was initiated. The investigation revealed the existence of a further hallway beyond the wall. This corridor is connected to dozens of rooms similar in construction to those in SCP-5812, one of which is accessible due to a damaged door. In the accessible room, there is a preserved and treated corpse that appears to be canine. The corpse exhibits signs of having been poisoned with multiple chemicals. The remaining rooms have also been determined, through non-destructive testing, to contain entities that have been terminated, due to numerous causes. All of these rooms have their own placards, but all show signs of extensive damage and corrosion. The room located at the far end of the corridor has been detached from the original. The interior is empty, but many bloodstains are present throughout. No placards have been posted on the doors; instead, a pasted paper with the following statements in Italian and English was found. Notice Internal memo to MTF Gamma-0 This room will not be used. As no new sinners will appear, this facility will be sealed off. Department of Abnormalities Notably, the document contains a signature in the handwriting of a past O5-11. However, the current O5-11 has not been given any information on Site-77 or taken over any related materials, including SCP-5812 or other contents. As of writing, the past O5-11 is already deceased. In addition, the relevant staff of the past O5-11 was amnesticized upon his retirement. Therefore, there are no records of the facility in the database. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5813 | keter | by J Dune SCP-5813 - X Image Credits ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} BY ORDER OF THE OVERSEER COUNCIL The following file is Level 4/5813 Archived Unauthorized access is forbidden. 5813 NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION The following document is considered archived as of: 1874/3/08, and should only be viewed for reference purposes. It may contain outdated information, and is not comparable to current revisions of said documentation. Footnotes have been added by BRIDGE.AIC to assist the text in areas where archaic verbiage is present. — Maria Jones, Director, RAISA American Secure Containment Initiative Document, circa 1874 Official Presidential portrait of A-5813. Item Number: A-5813 Threat Level: Treacherous1 Classification Type: Presence Safety Precautions: Documents, publications, and manuscripts dated with the years 1850 to 1853 are to be produced and covertly disseminated through a variety of Initiative front companies operating under the auspices of news and media archives in the United States. These written works cover a variety of ordinary subjects, a full list of which is available to project supervisors. This process is to continue at the discretion of the Executive Parliament.2 Should these precautions pass a set budgetary threshold, they are to be discontinued. Body: A-5813 is the 13th President of the United States, Millard Fillmore.3 As far as the ASCI can determine, no person by the name of 'Millard Fillmore' existed prior to July 9th 1850, whereupon A-5813 apparated and became President of the United States, then disappeared on March 4th, 1853. The only documentation that exists from within this time period is that regarding A-5813, and no ASCI personnel can recall specific events not related to A-5813 within the 3 years of its presidency. Despite the missing time, it was found that most individuals —ASCI members and civilians alike —possessed similar knowledge of the events of the preceding 3 years, most of which concern A-5813. Below is a list of information on A-5813 accumulated by the ASCI: A-5813 attended law school and served in the New York militia. A-5813 became a House Representative for New York's 32nd District and served from 1833-1843. A-5813 became the Comptroller of New York and served from 1848-1849. A-5813 became Zachary Taylor's running mate in the 1848 election.4 A-5813 became President of the United States following the death of Zachary Taylor in 1850. A-5813 agreed to the Compromise of 1850. A-5813 ordered Commodore Perry to open Japan for trade with the United States. A-5813 sought reelection in 1852 but was defeated by Franklin Pierce. Due to A-5813's high-profile position and widespread global effects, the erasure of A-5813 from the public consciousness has been deemed impossible.5In an attempt to keep the public from questioning the sudden disappearance of A-5813, the ASCI proposed to seek look-alikes to repurpose utilizing Level I Hypnosuggestive agents6, but the proposition was rejected for being too costly. A number of Hypnosuggestive agents were implanted within major United States news publications with the intention of keeping the public unaware of missing time caused by A-5813. This process also proved too costly, and was discontinued by the order of the Executive Parliament following three months of dissemination. On 1854/4/12, creation of a homunculus to replace A-5813 was approved by the ASCI Thaumaturge and Alchemy Division. Nota Bene: Incident-1A-5813 Due to faltering aether reserves as a consequence of the ongoing Fifth Occult War7, efforts to create a fitting homunculus have failed. Following a series of catastrophic failures, Warden8 Hurtz proposed consulting PoI-466.9 The following attached documents detail correspondence between Hurtz and Waksmundski. Dear Dr. Waksmundski, I am once again appealing to your patronage as a benefactor of the initiative. See to this request as quickly as possible. We are in dire need of your assistance in the creation of a homunculus capable of functioning as an ordinary human, as independent of any handlers or masters as possible. This creature is to be created in the image of President Fillmore, a portrait of which has been enclosed alongside this letter.10 Its intelligence should rival that of an ordinary human, though the illusion of such should suffice given our candidate. Regardless, it should be able-bodied, capable of speaking and carrying a conversation in English with a degree of verbosity, and embody general qualities expected of a United States President, including eloquence, composure, and a basic knowledge of the American history and tradition. As you know, procurement of esoteric materials is nigh impossible at the moment. I hope you should be swayed by an advance offering to utilize your network of suppliers to their greatest ability. Should your assignment be successful, you will receive the payment in its entirety. A Patriot11 is being sent to your apothecary to monitor and assist the process. If you find this egregious or fear your methods to be stolen, you are free to send him back. However, this will affect the sum of your payment. We anticipate your compliance. Regards, Warden James E. Hurtz, ASCI Thaumaturge and Alchemy Department My Dearest Hurtz, Thank you for contacting us! I've had a grand idea quite some time now, and your charitable offering is the final push needed to propel the dreams of a humble alchemist to a worldwide phenomena. I'm sure your Initiative will be delighted to see the fruits of this endeavor — but that is in the future. The task at hand still stands, and golly, is it tall! Your 'Patriot' arrived a day ago. Wonderful boy, he is! Understandably, he's in awe at my expanded workshop! I've been putting together a few personal projects in the meantime, some of which you'll surely see in-hand one day. Still, that nasty occult quarrel has constrained even my distribution channels, and while I enjoy a good joke, making a fully functioning homunculous is no laughing matter. In fact, I've never heard of one that functions with the complexity you desire, but I'm always anticipating pushing the boundaries of imagination. If you can dream it, then Dr. Waksmundski will make it so! You will get your President in due time. Can you supply me with a summary of your previous homunculous attempts? It's possible that in your failures, I can find wisdom. It could hasten our friend's creation by weeks! Best Wishes, Dr. Waksmundski To Dr. Waksmundski, In short, we only managed to fully synthesize one functioning homunculus. There were a number of attempts that calcified on the lab floors, barely cognizant creatures that either melted in sunlight or couldn't understand basic commands, but none as complete as our final attempt, to which we gave the preliminary designation A-5813-1. It could walk, talk, and consume food without combusting from the neck up. We were incredibly close to using the creation in practice, but there were a number of deficiencies. It was capable of conversation, but would completely lose all sense of itself when confronted with a choice. Even when explicitly told to choose a certain option, it still could not decide and instead would stare in the distance until falling asleep hours later. We had to purée its food because it didn't know when to stop chewing. That wasn't all; it was completely incapable of using a toilet, took issues with understanding past and future tenses when speaking, and had a strange fascination with repeatedly opening and closing doors. The entity is currently operating as a doorman at one of our safehouses, apparently the only occupation it is capable of. We're led to believe that our attempts to create a noncontroversial political figure to correspond with the understood reception of President Fillmore had gone too far due to our admitted lack of experience in the creation of homunculi. I've enclosed a number of biological, behavioral, and statistical reports regarding the creation of A-5813-1, should they be of use to you. - Hurtz Dear Hurtz, I apologize about the late response, friend. Every facet of life at the workshop is working in tandem to create our President, and things couldn't be busier! A shipment of dubious reagents I've procured from a fellow by the name of 'Dr. Bromide'12 combined with a few in-house specialties have created quite the mixture, one absolutely perfect for creating a homunculus with the complexity you desire. What's more is that it's economical too! Are visions of Waksmundski's future dotting your mind's eye? They should be. Oh, I'm getting carried away with myself, you have to forgive me, things are just too exciting these days! New ideas, new projects, new ways to bring joy! I've sent your man back to you, along with the completed homunculus. It should be close to what you asked for, but I couldn't help but add some 'special features' to him. Mr. Fillmore is a fine gentleman, and I think you'll come around to appreciating some of his quirks. Nevertheless, if you're unsatisfied with him, a second, more conventional version is available upon request. I wouldn't want to disappoint my most important customers. I'll be waiting for your feedback, but please write soon! There are places I must go, and the apothecary has far outlived its usefulness. Yes, I'm moving far from the City on the Hill — very far, in fact! Talk soon, Dr. Waksmundski To Waksmundski, Last night, Patriot Jones arrived at the Safehouse alongside your homunculus. While its linguistic and functional capabilities are more than impressive and exceed our expectations by a wide margin, I must inform you that the following 'features' are not necessary inclusions for a Millard Fillmore look-alike: The ability to produce balloons from its mouth and shape them into animals The inclusion of a music box in its stomach, and the fixation on singing with, dancing to, and continuously playing it The confusing practice of giving ordinary animals titles indicating that they are federal officials, and wishing to commemorate their service with a parade or ceremony The smaller homunculus housed under its top hat - 'Mini-Fillmore' The constant begging to 'go to the race track' and desire to 'see a strong horse bring it all home' I should not have to clarify this, but these qualities work against our intentions and prior agreement. If you would like to receive any more compensation for your work, you will give the Initiative the homunculus we asked for. I have dispensed a collective of Patriots to your apothecary for the purposes of collection. - Hurtz Following this letter, a small group of Patriots arrived at PoI-466's apothecary in Boston, Massachusetts. The majority of equipment and supplies had been moved out of the building, and PoI-466 appeared to be in the process of cleaning. He initially expressed disappointment that the homunculus was poorly received, but informed the Initiative that they may "keep [it] and do as they wish". PoI-466 gave another homunculus, similar in appearance to the previous, to the collection team. Following this, he opened, and entered into, a small thaumaturgic Way. The present location of PoI-466 is unknown. The homunculus given to the Initiative was designated A-5813-1, and proved to be a satisfactory replacement to A-5813.

Moderate to high levels of interdimensional thaumaturgic effects surround them. Special Containment Procedures Access to SCP-5815 is barred to all Foundation personnel aside from the O5 Council and the Ethics Committee. Site-120 is mandated to monitor it for any ontokinetic or thaumaturgic events, particularly ones that cause extreme reality fluctuations across Foundation Sites, facilities, and personnel. Subterranean tunnels leading to it from major Polish and German Foundation Sites must be blocked, except for SBT-5103, which is designated as the official entrance. Update: Project-5815 is to focus on researching practical applications of SCP-5815's mechanisms and capabilities to prevent the destruction of important Foundation sites and at least 180 Class-A containment chambers throughout Europe, particularly in Poland. Description SCP-5815 is a 10 km-wide subterranean complex located underneath the location of the former Site-140, which was destroyed following widespread structural failure compounded with thaumaturgic instability. Sublevels 1 to 9 of SCP-5815 approximately have 100 rooms each, most of which are composed of tubes, machinery, and container tanks. SCP-5815 is mainly filled with machinery typical for processing dairy meat and distilling liquids. These are supported by thaumaturgically enhanced gears, pulleys, cables, and blending tanks. SCP-5815 automatically activates randomly, with gaps in between active phases ranging from 30 minutes to 12 years. Since its discovery in 1901, its production spikes during time periods where the Polish and German branches of the Foundation experience high levels of tension and stress, particularly in the 1940s and the 1980s. Ever since then, however, its production of SCP-5815-1 has significantly lowered, with 2019 only producing three liters. SCP-5815-1 is a brown liquid produced after three hours of processing. Although nutritional and chemical analysis of SCP-5815-1 does not confirm any anomalous effects aside from containing high levels of protein, D-Class personnel who have ingested it typically gain the following traits: Increased alertness and strength Increased thaumaturgic capabilities High levels of adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin Increased possibility of death from a brain embolism by 78 percent When SCP-5815-1 is further processed through machinery located in Sublevels 5 - 7, it is converted into a brown powder. Upon solidification and application to cement, it passes the upper levels of Foundation building standards based on its durability and tensile strength. Analysis of compiled Foundation records indicate that SCP-5815 has been active since 1815, although this is unconfirmed due to persisting chronological and factual inconsistencies. However, they all confirm the existence of the placard containing the text, "DEPARTMENT OF ABNORMALITIES", being placed throughout the complex. However, recent explorations have not found any trace of such placards. Area-205 contains a heavily degraded compactor on one side, and partially crushed placards located throughout the room. Each placard is surrounded by high Altra.A unit of measurement for quantifying energy originating from a dimension relatively similar to baseline reality. readings, which indicate that they are heavily involved in interdimensional activities. The phrase "Final Hopes", in different languages, is the title of each placard. Linguistic analysis and translation indicate that 30 percent of the texts are based on a mixture of 15th century Polish and German dialects, while the other 70 percent is composed of a wide variety of languages, several of which are unintelligible. Two samples are provided below: As a Prize for Defeating the Serpentine Menace The Council has urged us, to take the final Way to the Holy Foundation No more will go awry in our world, they say, and we of the Honorus will now serve the Foundation In flesh and bones Before this Task of Heroes, I overheard the whispers of 'Ofaivedo' and 'Ofaiveuan' Talking of vested interests and the future filled with constant prosperity I shall leave this message, hidden with my arts, as perhaps a pertinent clue for the next Cviatons The samples are covered with oil, thaumaturgic residue, protein stains, and trace amounts of human flesh. Incident ODWAGA (02/05/2010) Incident ODWAGA occurred after SCP-5815 underwent simultaneous major structural failures, resulting in the destruction of at least 400 rooms and the 56 percent of Sublevels 3 to 4. This incident also caused several safety locks and mechanisms in SCP-5815 to malfunction, granting access to the previously impenetrable Sublevels 10, 11, and 15. Upon exploration, Foundation task forces catalogued approximately 1,200,000 humanoid cadavers hanging from hooks in various states of decay. The scope of the level, complexity of the machinery holding them, and already-existing thaumaturgic mechanisms protecting them from damage indicate a high degree of standardization and industrialization. The least decomposed cadavers share several traits in common: bulging eyes, exsanguination from every major orifice, signs of extreme lung hemorrhage, and destruction of bone matter. All of them were wearing clothes commonly associated with noble regalia and thaumaturgical expertise, while 30 percent of them possessed thaumaturgically-enhanced swords, axes, guns and maces. The Foundation logo, accompanied by various religious symbols, is sewn into said clothing. In Level 11, several automatons clad in the uniforms of Foundation researchers from the 1830s, the 1880s, and the 1930s were positioned on the sides of several conveyor belts that deliver the cadavers. These automatons expose the cadavers to cyanide gas first, before flaying, pounding, grinding, and mulching them. Afterward, the remains of the cadavers are placed in blending tanks connected to valves, which then pour out SCP-5815-1. These tanks also connect to Sublevels 5 to 7, where SCP-5815-1 in powder form is packed by mobile wooden and steel limbs attached to the walls into boxes labeled "CONSTRUCTION". Multiple placards attached to various control mechanisms have been found. They contain the following text: Heroes of faith build the grounds of our Foundation. DEPARTMENT OF ABNORMALITIES Update (02/05/2011) A full analysis of all Foundation containment chambers and Sites has been made following Incident ODWAGA. It indicated that SCP-5815 in powder form had a significant involvement in the construction of 70 percent of all Foundation Sites in Europe, including Sites-120.One of the major Sites operating in Poland. and 140. SCP-5815's latent thaumaturgical instability is pinpointed as the cause for the catastrophic destruction of Site-140. Current containment chambers, several of which are instrumental for preventing breaches due to Class-A Tartarean and Mekan entities, also appear to make heavy use of SCP-5815-1, although more verification is needed due to the difficulty of determining the presence of SCP-5815-1. According to partially reconstructed records, an estimated 10,000 to 220,000 Foundation workers had been stationed in SCP-5815 since 1953. Aside from these records however, no traces of said workers exist. The workers appear to be mainly involved in the production of materials such as pills containing SCP-5815-1 in powdered form, whose descriptions bear heavy resemblance to Resettas, which are alternative amnestic drugs, and the Forsetonics, which are currently used by Foundation agents and MTFs to boost strength and vigilance. As a result, all active agents are now being recalled for cerebral and psychological check-ups. Simultaneous structural collapse of approximately 120 involved sites is expected to occur in three months. Proposals for researching operations and the reactivation of SCP-5815, as well as production of more SCP-5815-1, are pending. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5815" by Sinagsikap, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5816 | safe | Item#: 5816 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: caution link to memo SCP-5816-20 with anomalous features redacted. (hover to enlarge) Special Containment Procedures: All copies of SCP-5816 are to be kept in a standard secured container at Site-19. Even when within said container, all instances of SCP-5816 are to have their eyes covered completely. SCP-5816 instances are not to be removed, nor are any edits to be made to the text present on said instances without approval from level 4 research personnel. Description: SCP-5816 is the collective term for a collection of 25 identical anomalous World War One-era recruitment posters, henceforth referred to as SCP-5816-1 through 25. As of 2021, no further instances have been found. Each poster closely resembles the non-anomalous posters depicting Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener1 that were famously used during the First World War. SCP-5816-1 through 25 were discovered in an abandoned print factory, kept in a single wooden crate. The only information that can be acquired about the origin of SCP-5816 comes from a telegram located at the discovery site.2 Of all subjects tested, 4% were completely immune to SCP-5816; the reason for this is unknown, and no link between those immune has been found. The remaining subjects triggered one of two anomalous effects. The primary anomalous effect of SCP-5816 instances occurs whenever an individual3 who is of British nationality or from any former territories of the British Empire and is aged between 19-30 years of age looks into the eyes of the image of Lord Kitchener. Whenever this occurs, the subject will feel an overwhelming sense of nationalism and pride towards the United Kingdom. Furthermore, the subject will feel an immense desire to join the British military. A secondary anomalous effect occurs when individuals who are not eligible to join the British military look into the eyes present on SCP-5816 instances.4 95% of experiments involving subjects who meet these criteria found those tested began to suffer feelings of immense sorrow and regret. The remaining 5% of those affected will attempt immediate suicide.5 This effect remains until the subject can self-terminate. To date, the only known way to prevent the anomalous properties of SCP-5816 instances is to cover the eyes on each instance. SCP-5816 instances are highly resistant to most forms of conventional damage; this is believed to be the cause behind the preservation of SCP-5816 instances in the decades before containment. Fire is capable of complete destruction of SCP-5816 instances. Photographs of and photocopies of SCP-5816 instances possess the same properties as the originals, though artist impressions lack the same anomalous properties. Addendum SCP-5816-A: Below is a digitized copy of the telegram recovered from the discovery site. It should be noted that it was heavily damaged when discovered; the displayed text is all that was readable. Commission for more recruitment posters received STOP Next shipment to be ready by Somme offensive STOP Distribute them face down until [ILLEGIBLE] Make no edits STOP An investigation into the telegram's origin is currently ongoing. Addendum SCP-5816-B: On 20th June 1978, Doctor Urien Beavin, head of research on SCP-5816, was given the authorisation to test the effects of editing the text on an instance of SCP-5816. As part of this test, Doctor Beavin had the word 'Britons' on SCP-5816-7 erased and replaced with 'Americans' before showing it to several American D-Class personnel. The effect was identical, save that this instance now worked on those of American nationality instead of British. Following several more tests with different nationalities, Doctor Beavin replaced the nationality on SCP-5816-7 with the word 'D-Class' while also changing the main text below Lord Kitchener to read 'to cooperate with Foundation personnel.' 96% of all D-Class tested, who did not trigger the secondary anomalous effect, were highly cooperative with Foundation staff. Access SCiPNET Email? Three (3) new messages! SCP-5816 Proposal To: Dr Gabriel Stanton, Ethics Committee From: Doctor Urien Beavin Subject: SCP-5816 Proposal As you can see from our testing, SCP-5816 instances are an effective way to ensure cooperation on the part of D-Class personnel. Therefore, I am proposing we use SCP-5816 instances by placing altered instances in D-Class quarters across Foundation sites. 25th June 1978. To: Doctor Urien Beavin From: Dr Gabriel Stanton, Ethics Committee Subject: Re:SCP-5816 Proposal While the practical applications you propose are certainly tempting, Dr Beavin, we cannot allow this. Completely ignoring the prospect of D-Class personnel who are immune to SCP-5816 figuring out its properties and using it against us, this proposal is completely unethical. This has the potential to seriously alter the free will of D-Class personnel. I don't care if they're Jack the Ripper; we are not in the business of stripping away people's free will. If it were up to me, this proposal and all your previous misconduct would be declared major ethical violations, and I'd have you demoted. But if you would like to discuss this matter in person, please make an appointment with me for some time tomorrow. 27th June 1978. To: Doctor Urien Beavin From: Dr Gabriel Stanton, Ethics Committee Subject: Re:Re:SCP-5816 Proposal Objection revoked. 28th June 1978. Footnotes 1. The British Secretary of State for War, from 1914 until he died in 1916. 2. See addendum SCP-5816-A 3. Henceforth referred to as the subject. 4. Please consult British Army recruitment standards for further information. Any eligible individuals are strongly advised to do your duty. 5. It should be noted these effects do not occur in those below the age range of British recruitment. |
SCP-5817 | keter | Item#: 5817 Level3 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: notice link to memo Figure 1.1: A map retrieved from one of SCP-5817's websites, representing SCP-5817-1. Special Containment Procedures: All internet services in a country affected by SCP-5817 are to be shut down until SCP-5817's websites are inaccessible. Automated programs are to monitor SCP-5817's activity by collecting all information in its pages and storing it in Site-68's computers. All remaining evidence of the existence of SCP-5817-1 is to be denied to the general public. Description: SCP-5817 is a monthly phenomenon that affects all internet services in a country for roughly one minute. Attempts of accessing any website during SCP-5817 will redirect users to a counterpart that advertises a nonexistant country named Republic of Kingston, designated SCP-5817-1. According to these altered pages, SCP-5817-1: Includes the territories of Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, Dominican Republic and parts of Mexico and Guatemala. Has large cultural and ethnic varieties. Is a democratic republic with a president named Horace Rosencratz, a 71 year old male. Has no documented cases of civilian violence in its territories. Figure 1.2: A flag retrieved from one of SCP-5817's websites. Discovery: SCP-5817 was first documented in March 15th of 2013, having taken place in Jamaica. The manifestation caused a collective hysteria due to being interpreted as a declaration of the independence of Kingston, the local capital city, made by a revolutionary group. While Jamaican authorities managed to pacify the population by stating the SCP-5817 event was "an inoffensive prank made by hackers", none of the affected sites showed any trace of hacking in their change logs. While the Foundation would later intervene in police investigations, SCP-5817 wouldn't be officially classified until April 15th of the same year, when it took place in Panama. Dr. Ignatius has been assigned to study SCP-5817 since then. Incident Report SCP-5817-A: In December 15th of 2015, an SCP-5817 news website named Kingston Everyday announced that president Horace Rosencratz was considering to let a fleet of patrol boats watch the city of Nassau, Bahamas, after a flawed negotiation with the local Prime Minister. It was also mentioned that the Bahamas have been launching attacks against SCP-5817-1 territory for unknown reasons. Later that day, locals reported the presence of unmanned vessels with unidentified flags near the coastal zone of Nassau. The Foundation managed to retrieve one of the boats for study purposes. Perry Christie, Prime Minister of the Bahamas at the time, claimed to never have met anyone named Horace Rosencratz. In January 15th of 2016, Kingston Everyday became accessible again and displayed the following headlines: Kingstonian Patrol Boat Stolen! Interview Log SCP-5817-B: Interviewed: Subject-5817-B Interviewer: Dr. Ignatius Foreword: Subject-5817-B, a 71-year-old Caucasian male, was found in February 16th of 2016 in Cuba and taken to Site-68 to be interviewed. Comparisons showed that subject bears great resemblance to images of Horace Rosencratz extracted from SCP-5817's websites. No information about name and origin of the subject was found in any non-SCP-5817 database before the interview. <Begin Log> Dr. Ignatius: Alright, now that we are here, could you please tell me your name? Subject-5817-B: My name? Well, you can call me Horace. Dr. Ignatius: So, Mr. Horace, you don't seem to come from Cuba and- Subject-5817-B: Cuba? Don't you mean the "Havana district"? Dr. Ignatius: No, sir. I said Cuba Subject-5817-B: Oh no no no, (laughs) Cuba isn't that dumpster you're talking about anymore, it's part of something bigger now: the Republic of Kingston. Dr. Ignatius: I don't think I ever heard about a place like this really existing. Subject-5817-B: Hm? How could you never have heard of Kingston? Dr. Ignatius: The Kingston I know is the capital city of Jamaica, not a well known country. Could you please tell me about it? Subject-5817-B: Well yes! Kingston is located in Central America and it's a paradise unlike any other place in the continent, with natural beauty, gorgeous cities and an efficient government, and I'm not saying this just because I'm the President. (laughs) Dr. Ignatius: So you're the President of that "Republic" you're talking about. Well, then what have you done for your country so far? Subject-5817-B: You see, I worry about other places of the world, about how they lack the features that make Kingston perfect. Right now, most of them are questionable, unlikable, some shouldn't even be countries to begin with! Take this place for example: great ambitions, insufficient resources, ones that only Kingston can efficiently provide. That's why I started the Kingstonian expansion project. Dr. Ignatius: You were given information about us before? Subject-5817-B: Well yes. There was a day where one of our patrol boats was stolen back in 2015, and the Kingstonian Intelligence Center manage to track it. According to them, the ship was inside this exact site, owned by some kind of Foundation. Since that day, they have researched information about you and how you study supposed anomalies, some really hard to keep under control. On the other hand, we have a powerful army and technology that would certainly make your most dangerous monsters look like little bunnies stuck in a cage. So, lets make a deal, shall we? Dr. Ignatius: A deal? Subject-5817-B: This place becomes our territory for scientific research and, in return, we shall help you with containment and structural improvements. What do you think? Dr. Ignatius: I-I'm sorry, sir, but this isn't the purpose of the interview. Subject-5817-B: Then I think I'm done with it for now. Is there any way to talk to whoever directs this (pauses) place? Dr. Ignatius: I'm afraid this won't be possible. Subject-5817-B: Well, then I guess there is no point discussing it right now. We'd be better off talking about this another day. In this case, could someone take me to the exit? <End Log> Closing Statement: After the interview, subject was taken to a humanoid containment cell in Site-68. All attempts at amnesticization of the entity were unsuccessful. Incident Log SCP-5817-C: Foreword: In the morning of March 15th of 2016, a camera documented two Foundation guards, who were responsible for watching Subject-5817-B slowly having their appearences changed while keeping the same outfit. The transformation took place during SCP-5817, which was affecting Site-68 at the time, and the affected guards removed Subject-5817-B from its cell after the event was over. Two minutes later, Dr. Ignatius, who was walking at a nearby corridor at the time, encountered the two guards and Subject-5817-B. A different camera managed to record the event. Below is a transcript of the recorded content. <Begin Log> Dr. Ignatius is walking down a corridor when he meets the two guards and Subject-5817-B Dr. Ignatius: W-what are you doing in here? Weren''t you supposed to keep the subject in the containment cell? Guard 1: We have been ordered to take this subject to Dock-7 so it can be transferred to Site-██. Dr. Ignatius: Transferring this subject is out of question at the moment, I still need some interviews with him to understand SCP-5817. Guard 2: Earlier orders from the site directory stated that the transfer is a top priority. Dr. Ignatius: I was at the site directory this morning and saw their schedules, there was nothing about transfer there. Now could you please tak-(pauses) have I ever seen you two before? Guard 2: We're (inaudible), hired by the Foundation one year ago. Currently the only members of Site-68's security personnel to come from the Republic of Kingston. Dr. Ignatius: Kingston? No no no no no, the Foundation never hired anyone from Kingston, I will call the real security perso- Speaker: Attention all security personnel, Subject-5817-B is currently being transferred to Site-██. (inaudible) are responsible for transporting the subject and should not be interrupted during the process. Boat-23 has been deployed on Dock-7 for use by the transfer team. Dr. Ignatius: What? B-but- Guard 1: You heard the Site Director, now please step out of our way. (Dr. Ignatius walks away while the guards continue to escort Subject-5817-B) <End Log> Closing Statement: After the incident, the two guards responsible for Subject-5817-B's transfer and Site-68's Director were interviewed. When questioned about their actions, the individuals stated that they "were men of Kingston and were simply doing what's right for their country". The Foundation managed to track the Boat-23, which was found docked in the city of Nassau. NOTICE You are currently viewing an outdated version of this page.

Subject-5817-B: You see, I worry about other places of the world, about how they lack the features that make Kingston perfect. Right now, most of them are questionable, unlikable, some shouldn't even be countries to begin with! Take this place for example: great ambitions, insufficient resources, ones that only Kingston can efficiently provide. That's why I started the Kingstonian expansion project. Dr. Ignatius: You were given information about us before? Subject-5817-B: Well yes. There was a day where one of our patrol boats was stolen back in 2015, and the Kingstonian Intelligence Center manage to track it. According to them, the ship was inside this exact site, owned by some kind of Foundation. Since that day, they have researched information about you and how you study supposed anomalies, some really hard to keep under control. On the other hand, we have a powerful army and technology that would certainly make your most dangerous monsters look like little bunnies stuck in a cage. So, lets make a deal, shall we? Dr. Ignatius: A deal? Subject-5817-B: This place becomes our territory for scientific research and, in return, we shall help you with containment and structural improvements. What do you think? Dr. Ignatius: I-I'm sorry, sir, but this isn't the purpose of the interview. Subject-5817-B: Then I think I'm done with it for now. Is there any way to talk to whoever directs this (pauses) place? Dr. Ignatius: I'm afraid this won't be possible. Subject-5817-B: Well, then I guess there is no point discussing it right now. We'd be better off talking about this another day. In this case, could someone take me to the exit? <End Log> Closing Statement: After the interview, subject was taken to a humanoid containment cell in Site-68. All attempts at amnesticization of the entity were unsuccessful. Incident Log SCP-5817-C: Foreword: In the morning of March 15th of 2016, a camera documented two Foundation guards, who were responsible for watching Subject-5817-B slowly having their appearences changed while keeping the same outfit. The transformation took place during SCP-5817, which was affecting Site-68 at the time, and the affected guards removed Subject-5817-B from its cell after the event was over. Two minutes later, Dr. Ignatius, who was walking at a nearby corridor at the time, encountered the two guards and Subject-5817-B. A different camera managed to record the event. Below is a transcript of the recorded content. <Begin Log> Dr. Ignatius is walking down a corridor when he meets the two guards and Subject-5817-B Dr. Ignatius: W-what are you doing in here? Weren''t you supposed to keep the subject in the containment cell? Guard 1: We have been ordered to take this subject to Dock-7 so it can be transferred to Site-██. Dr. Ignatius: Transferring this subject is out of question at the moment, I still need some interviews with him to understand SCP-5817. Guard 2: Earlier orders from the site directory stated that the transfer is a top priority. Dr. Ignatius: I was at the site directory this morning and saw their schedules, there was nothing about transfer there. Now could you please tak-(pauses) have I ever seen you two before? Guard 2: We're (inaudible), hired by the Foundation one year ago. Currently the only members of Site-68's security personnel to come from the Republic of Kingston. Dr. Ignatius: Kingston? No no no no no, the Foundation never hired anyone from Kingston, I will call the real security perso- Speaker: Attention all security personnel, Subject-5817-B is currently being transferred to Site-██. (inaudible) are responsible for transporting the subject and should not be interrupted during the process. Boat-23 has been deployed on Dock-7 for use by the transfer team. Dr. Ignatius: What? B-but- Guard 1: You heard the Site Director, now please step out of our way. (Dr. Ignatius walks away while the guards continue to escort Subject-5817-B) <End Log> Closing Statement: After the incident, the two guards responsible for Subject-5817-B's transfer and Site-68's Director were interviewed. When questioned about their actions, the individuals stated that they "were men of Kingston and were simply doing what's right for their country". The Foundation managed to track the Boat-23, which was found docked in the city of Nassau. NOTICE You are currently viewing an outdated version of this page.

SCP-5818 | euclid | SCP-5818 - Frankenstein Burger King mmmm burger Image Credits ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} by J Dune Item#: 5818 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo Provisional Site-5818, located in Niagara Falls, Ontario Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force CAONNA Provisional Site-5818 M. Margaret Clarke C. James Clive NA SCP-5818-1 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation webcrawler Beta-8 ("MODERN PROMETHEUS") is to monitor discussion forums and image boards for phrases associated with SCP-5818 and remove them upon discovery. The locus of SCP-5818-related phenomena has been bought by the Foundation and converted to Provisional Site-5818, which will remain open to the public. Several Foundation agents with scores of at least 75 on the Kull memetic resistance scale have been implanted into the restaurant's internal structure, and are to monitor for SCP-5818 events. Each SCP-5818 event is to be recorded and reviewed for any deviations in the established narrative. Following the completion of the event, all participants are to be amnesticized. Provisional Site-5818 is to remain closed until all remnants of the event are disposed of. Deliberate triggering of an SCP-5818 event for research purposes is prohibited. Description: SCP-5818 is a phenomenon occurring in a Burger King located in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This location bears 'Frankenstein' theming, as the restaurant is adjacent to a separate horror-themed tourist attraction. The instructions for triggering a SCP-5818 event, sourced from parawatch.net in April 2007, are listed below: DontAsk 04/05/07 (Thu) 06:05:24 #1848131 >go to the frankenstein burger king in niagara falls >ask for the frankenstein burger >???? >PROFIT!!! These instructions were disseminated across the discussion board over several weeks, but did not receive significant attention. Four SCP-5818 events occurred in the weeks following the original post, alerting the Foundation to the anomaly's presence. When an individual follows the instructions above and asks for a 'Frankenstein burger', SCP-5818-1 will be produced. No item on the Burger King menu is or has been referred to as a 'Frankenstein burger'. Regardless, employees will not perceive the request as abnormal, and will complete the order. SCP-5818-1 is a burger topped with two meat patties, bacon, ketchup, and cheese. SCP-5818-1 resembles Burger King's 'Double Bacon Cheese Burger' in appearance and composition. Testing has shown SCP-5818-1 to be otherwise identical to Burger King's 'Double Bacon Cheese Burger' in all aspects, sans the anomalous properties that manifest upon initial consumption. When an individual begins consumption of SCP-5818-1, a hallucinatory memetic phenomenon designated as an SCP-5818 event will occur. SCP-5818 events follow a consistent, recurring narrative. All individuals present inside Provisional Site-5818 during an event will be transposed into various archetypes fitting the narrative, which resembles the basic themes, vernacular, and plot of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. For a transcript of an SCP-5818 event, refer to Addendum 5818.1. Following the completion of an SCP-5818 event, individuals will return to a non-anomalous state of mind, possessing full recall and awareness of the events that had transpired. Research has proven this phenomenon is limited to the Burger King location in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Addendum 5818.1: SCP-5818 Narrative Transcript The following account of an SCP-5818 event was transcribed by a Foundation agent with noted memetic resistance. This transcript is specifically derived from the 31st recorded SCP-5818 event, which occurred on 2008/06/29. <BEGIN LOG> A customer bites into SCP-5818-1. Seconds later, the customer screams and drops the burger on the table in front of them. The customer stands atop a chair and calls the restaurant to attention. Customer: What foul countenance! Behold, set your eyes on this wretched abnormality, whose visage will torment me 'til my reunification with the Father. Behold and remain weary! The customer gestures to SCP-5818-1. Bystanding customers begin to crowd the table to view SCP-5818-1, expressing cries of shock and distress. A customer faints. Bystander: Such unnatural hue! Oh, to be belabored with a fiendish existence as this! Composed from both the slaughterhouse and the learning room, an abhorrent creation! Customer: Am I to consume this vile concoction of parts as I am my brother's cow, or a mother's milk? Is our sustenance derived from the land, or from the laboratory? Customers begin to perceive SCP-5818-1 as capable of speech. Dialogue is audible to those involved in an SCP-5818-1 event, and has remained consistent across accounts. SCP-5818-1: Did I request thee, Maker, from my meat to mold me burger? Did I solicit thee from the kitchen to promote me?1 Bystander: Horror! Horror! It speaks as if it were man, but it is burger! It knows not of the existential diatribe it spews from its chemically enhanced mouth! Tell us, why hath you begat this wretch? The crowd of bystanders begin to approach the customer, who removes themselves from the chair and begins walking backwards. Customer: Hear me, it was not an abortion of my creation. Please! I beg you, look to Frankenstein, who wrought this beast with his own hands in his occult kitchen-sanctum! The customer gestures to the register. The cook who prepared SCP-5818-1 walks out of the kitchen. Customers perceive the cook as harboring lacerations and stitches across their face and body. Their skin is perceived as an unnatural, green coloration, and as a whole resembles a typical depiction of the "Frankenstein's Monster" character. SCP-5818-1: My accursed forefather! You who have given me life and misplaced hope, gave me witness to beauty and creation, while placing me in this devilishly tasty form! Do you not feel remorse for casting me into a world that wishes to see me consumed? Cook: I fear no retribution, fallen angel! As the Titans created man, I have created burger! This is my purpose. Customer: Look, your culprit! Impose your punishment and affix him to Caucasus, where his liver can be pecked. A fitting punishment for a man who tests God. The bystanders approach the cook, and begin to physically restrain him. Cook: I pursued knowledge, my burden is light. Like so many before me, do what you will. I will not show cowardice. SCP-5818-1: How miserable is this comestible, juicy body. To be more than filthy meat! Satan revels in companionship, while I sit in silence and agony! The bystanders force the cook into the kitchen, where they begin to tear the cook's limbs from their body. The limbs are then thrown into a broiler oven. The frenzy continues until the cook's body is small enough to fit in the broiler. Customer: Frankenstein brought fate upon himself! Tragedy, or purification? The question is asked but there is no truth. The oven is powered on, and the cook's body burns. The bystanders watch and revel in the cook's death. Away from the kitchen, SCP-5818-1 continues its lament. SCP-5818-1: If thou desired nurture over nutrition, perhaps I would not live in misery. Farewell, vengeful father. Farewell! I shall depart to the coldest regions of this wicked world, where I shall lay! SCP-5818-1 disappears. <END LOG> Researcher's Note: Following the event, all witnesses and participants were amnesticized. Due to the loss of life involved in SCP-5818 events and noted lack of variation between them, further research of the phenomenon through deliberate triggering of an event has been discontinued. The present location of SCP-5818-1 instances is unknown. -Dr. Clive, 2008/06/29 Footnotes 1.

SCP-5819 | safe | close Info X 90.25% (+37) 9.75% (-4) -% (+0) -% (-0) Title: SCP-5819 - The Sweet One Author(s): Panda_of_Green Created: 01/04/2022 Special Thanks: Xinsiras & Opal from Dr. Cimmerian's Discord server for critique. No Author Page Yet First SCP YouTube | Instagram Item#: 5819 Level2 Secondary Class: sweet Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force Site-73 Alan Medford Dr. Isaac Green Onsite Security SCP-5819-23 Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-5819 and SCP-5819-B are to be contained in a standard storage locker located at Site-73. These lockers are to be only accessible to personnel with level 3/5819 clearance or higher. If any unauthorized instances of SCP-5819-A manifest, personnel are to deny its offers, leave the immediate area, and inform an onsite officer. Security officers are to neutralize all unauthorized SCP-5819-A instances to prevent individuals from ingesting the contents of SCP-5819-B. Description: SCP-5819 refers to twelve twenty-four Dr Pepper branded soda cans, designated SCP-5819-1 to SCP-5819-12 SCP-5819-24. The anomalous effects of SCP-5819 occurs when the contents within it are ingested by a human subject. When consumed, the subject will transfigure into an instance of SCP-5819-A. SCP-5819-A resembles a Caucasian male between 35 to 40-years-old, measuring 1.37 meters in height and 45.36 kg in weight. SCP-5819-A has long dark red hair, light facial hair, and wears glam-rock styled clothing. The subject's previous clothing will demanifest in the process of transfiguration and will be replaced with these clothing. SCP-5819-A instances claim to be and closely resembles Dr Pepper's mascot Lil Sweet.1 When the transformation of SCP-5819-A is complete, it will teleport itself to a random human subject nearby. These subjects will henceforward be referred to as the target. Targets have always noted craving something sweet with no calories prior to SCP-5819-A arriving. Upon SCP-5819-A reaching the target, it will manifest a Diet Dr Pepper soda can in its hand, designated SCP-5819-B. Subjects that ingest the contents of SCP-5819-B will experience a psychological desire to ingest Dr Pepper branded products. The subject's body will reject all other forms of liquids not branded as Dr Pepper. This results in most subjects suffering from moderate health problems including weight gain, tooth decay, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular problems. SCP-5819-A will attempt to convince the target to accept an SCP-5819-B instance and will always do this in an upbeat commercialized fashion. If denied, SCP-5819-A will leave the target and teleport to another. If accepted, SCP-5819-A will transfer SCP-5819-B to the target, leaving soon after. SCP-5819-A has always been noted to vocalize the phrase "It's The Sweet One"2 shortly before leaving its target. SCP-5819-A will then teleport to its next target and repeat the same procedure. The Dr Pepper Museum, Waco, Texas Addendum 5819.1: Recovery Log On 12/01/2015, reports of "Lil Sweet disappearing and reappearing out of nowhere giving away Diet Dr Pepper" occurred at the Dr Pepper Museum in Waco, Texas. Surveillance footage shows the twelve instances of SCP-5819 manifesting within the museum. A male civilian noticed and acquired SCP-5819-1, ingesting its contents. This resulted in the civilian becoming an SCP-5819-A instance. This SCP-5819-A instance successfully convinced five civilians to accept an SCP-5819-B instance prior to Foundation intervention, four of whom consumed its contents. Due to SCP-5819-A's teleporting properties, Foundation agents were incapable of apprehending SCP-5819-A, resulting in the agents terminating the instance. A letter was found beside the SCP-5819 instances and it read as followed: Dear, Dr Pepper Fans, Today is a very special day. I gift these twelve cans of Dr Pepper to all of you so dedicated to my product. After all, I first sold Dr Pepper 130 years ago from this very day. So let's celebrate by spreading that sweet taste of a refreshing Dr Pepper around the world. Now's the Time. This is the Place. Dr Pepper is the taste. Sincerely, Charles Alderton3 All twelve instances of SCP-5819 and the four affected civilians were transported to Site-73 for containment and study. All individuals within The Dr Pepper Museum during this event were administered amnestics. Charles Alderton has since then been designated PoI-1024. Addendum 5819.2: Incident 5819-Beta ▼ Incident 5819-Beta ▼ ▲ Incident 5819-Beta ▲ Incident Report Oakwood Cemetery, Waco, Texas Incident #: 5819-Beta Location: Oakwood Cemetery, Waco, Texas Time: 07:49 AM (local time) December 1st 2020 Event Summary: The tombstone of PoI-1024 was found missing by a local groundskeeper, with twelve instances of SCP-5819 in its place. Upon expection, it was found that the coffin and corpse of PoI-1024 were also missing. With the grave showing no evidence of having been dug out, suggesting anomalous means. Next to the SCP-5819 instances was a letter, which read as follows. Dear, Fellow Friend, I see you've came to mourn my death. Dr Pepper used to be the "King of Beverages" after all. Even though Dr Pepper was the first soda ever made, more people would rather have Coke or Pepsi instead. But I can tell that you care about Dr Pepper more then many other people. Therefore, I will grant you what was a limited edition of Dr Pepper. Five years ago from this day, it was originally released at my shop. However, an organization was trying to hide them from the people. All because it was out of the ordinary. Dr Pepper has always been misunderstood. But you can change this by treating yourself to these Dr Pepper branded beverages. Enjoy them while you still can. Sincerely, Charles Alderton Follow-up Actions: All twelve instances of SCP-5819 were transported to Site-73 for containment. A replica of the original tombstone was created and used as a replacement. Civilians visiting Oakwood Cemetery prior to the tombstone's installment were administered amnestics. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5820 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5820 Special Containment Procedures: Operatives are to remain on alert for activity indicative of SCP-5820's modus operandi. Following the disruption of SCP-5820's California enterprise by Foundation personnel, it has become highly probable that SCP-5820 will attempt to continue its operations elsewhere. Business registries across the United States are to be monitored for any suggestion that SCP-5820 is attempting to re-establish itself. Foundation algorithms monitoring telecommunications are primed to recognise calls which indicate that SCP-5820 is selecting new victims. Should this occur, operatives are directed to place the affected household under covert surveillance until the pre-arranged date, at which point a sting operation is to be enacted involving appropriate MTF personnel. A suburban home undergoing an SCP-5820 event. Description: SCP-5820 refers to Sneaky Buggers Humane Extermination, a California-registered pest control company linked to a number of anomalous incidents in the southern region of the state. An SCP-5820 event typically begins with a cold call1 to a chosen target. Victims are informed that their home has been scouted and discovered to have a termite infestation requiring immediate fumigation. An estimated 83% of homeowners to date have accepted this request without suspicion.2 Appointments are scheduled within two working days of the initial call. As per SCP-5820's alleged policy, householders are strongly recommended to be present for the set-up process. SCP-5820 employees (designated hereafter as SCP-5820-1) will arrive at the job site in a 2006 Ford E-series commercial vehicle with Sneaky Buggers branding. Instances of SCP-5820-1 are humanoids of indeterminate sex, clad in hooded mauve boiler suits and rebreathing equipment with tinted visors. A typical operation involves three instances of SCP-5820-1. SCP-5820-1 do not announce their arrival, and generally reach the location fifteen minutes before the allotted time. A fumigation tent is rapidly erected around the designated structure, with immediate attention paid to covering doors and windows. As a result of this, occupants are not given a chance to vacate the building. Upon finishing the set-up operation, all instances of SCP-5820-1 will enter the structure. SCP-5820-1 typically re-emerge within one hour and begin to disassemble the tent. Following an SCP-5820 operation, the affected building is left with severe to critical structural damage.3 Exploration of an affected dwelling’s interior also reveals the total corrosion of non-osseous biological matter.4 In addition, paper currency and financial documents have been notably absent from all buildings investigated. Before leaving a job site, SCP-5820-1 will stake a wooden advertising sign into the lawn. All signs recovered to date have carried the same slogan: A few less parasites in your neighborhood! - Sneaky Buggers Humane Extermination - Interview Log: Interviewed: Dwight and Nora Marlowe Interviewer: Agent Aaron Bagley Foreword: On 2020/05/23, the Marlowe residence in Pasadena was severely damaged following alleged fumigation by SCP-5820. Human remains were found inside the building, later confirmed as belonging to the Marlowes' 39 year-old cleaner, Anamaria Vasquez. Both Marlowes had travelled out of state shortly prior to the incident. Agent Bagley posed as an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officer for this portion of the investigation. <Begin Log> [Removed extraneous preamble due to excessive hostility of the interviewees towards Agent Bagley] Dwight Marlowe: Let me get one thing straight, okay? My gears are fucking grinding. This shouldn't have happened at all, let alone- Nora Marlowe: On our vacation! Agent Bagley: In all seriousness, Mrs. Marlowe, you shouldn't be on vacation right now. Which reminds me, ma'am - can you please take several steps back?5 Nora Marlowe exhales, irritated. Agent Bagley: Thank you. Now, are you finally going to be civil with me? Dwight Marlowe: Why? Why should we be civil with you, when they did that to my goddamned house? Look at it, buddy! Agent Bagley: We can't help you if you're going to somehow insist this was our fault. Dwight Marlowe: I'm not saying it's your fault… nobody said it was your fault. What I'd like if you understood is that you should be doing more to protect the likes of myself and my wife here. I saw on Rush Limbaugh that- Agent Bagley: Sir, I don't know what you're talking about but I'm warning you to calm down. I've been working with the EPA for, oh, around a decade now, and this is the most extensive damage I've ever seen carried out by termi- Dwight Marlowe: Antifa. Agent Bagley: I'm sorry? Dwight Marlowe: Let's just say I tick a lot of their boxes. Agent Bagley: This is going to be your final warning. I would strongly suggest, Mr Marlowe, that you listen to me, an expert, instead of whoever it is on the television. Dwight Marlowe: It's all expert-this, expert-that these days. Why should I expect you to know better than me, then? You're giving me all this shit about termites, but I'm telling you that there's people out there who think I'm an asshole, think my wife's an asshole, for no reason other than- Agent Bagley: With all due, uh, respect, Mr and Mrs Marlowe… we've got a person deceased here. Anamaria Vasquez. Nora Marlowe: Oh my- Dwight Marlowe: Should have told me that before, then… Agent Bagley: I was getting there, but… you know what? Let's try to take this with a little more nuance from now on. About Ms. Vasquez- Dwight Marlowe: She was over to spray a little bit of Lysol around while we were gone. Nora Marlowe: Well, that and see the pest control guys in. Bagley adjusts his mask. Agent Bagley: These pest controllers, "Sneaky Buggers"… you just accepted their word? Didn't give them a Google or anything first? Dwight Marlowe: Buddy, I'm the managing director at a Forbes 500 firm. I know the sound of a legitimate business offer when I hear one. Agent Bagley: The fact we're even having this conversation should strongly indicate otherwise. Dwight Marlowe: The hell do you know about business? Agent Bagley: Enough to know that you got fleeced, sir. Dwight Marlowe: Fleeced? Well, if you're so sure they was termites that done this, at least those guys fucking tried. I don't buy a word that comes out of your "expert" mouth, buddy. Agent Bagley: Okay, I think we're, ah, just about done here. I had more questions, but if you're not going to treat this with sincerity or respect then I'm afraid there's very little else I'm gonna be able to do for you. Dwight Marlowe: You know, there is one thing. Call my fucking lawyer and insurance provider! <End Log> Incident Log 2020/06/05: Foreword: Site-67 personnel received notice of an ongoing SCP-5820 event. A unit of MTF Epsilon-6 (“Village Idiots”) was dispatched, under the command of Agent Bagley. 09:23 - The team arrives at a subdivision of Irvine, CA, to find a residential home beneath a large tent. 09:25 - Verbal engagement via loudspeaker is attempted, though MTF Epsilon-6 receives no acknowledgement from any subjects within the building. 09:50 - No further attempts at communication have been successful. Agent Bagley authorizes a breach of the building. All personnel are equipped in full-body containment suits with breathing apparatus due to the potential risk of pesticide exposure. 09:52 - The team breaches the tent. Interference of unknown origin knocks out body-worn recording equipment for the remainder of the operation.6 09:56 - Witnesses report seeing Agent Bagley and his six operatives emerge from the tent. All are non-verbal, and follow Agent Bagley back to their vehicles. 10:14 - Radar indicates that the operatives have left the scene and are en route to Site-67, where a security detail is arranged to meet them. Communication attempts by facility control are ignored for the duration of the journey. 10:37 - MTF Epsilon-6 arrives back at the facility. Site security personnel are alarmed by Agent Bagley’s failure to engage with entry instructions and a quarantine procedure is enacted within the facility’s parking structure. 10:39 - A number of MTF Epsilon-6 operatives, including Agent Bagley, attempt to exit their vehicles against the orders of security personnel. Bagley is tackled by a Site-67 guard, dislodging his protective apparatus and releasing a large number of Cryptotermes brevis (drywood termite) specimens from within his empty tactical gear. The remaining “operatives” become aggressive, prompting authorization from facility command to open fire. Damage to the subjects’ equipment reveals similarly empty suits, with the exception of Cryptotermes brevis in significant quantities. 10:40 - The groups of Cryptotermes brevis reconvene and begin to approach personnel in an amorphous mass. Personnel start to retreat from the parking structure. 10:41 - Facility guard Samson Gregory is overcome by Cryptotermes brevis. Fearing further contamination, other members of personnel close the garage fire doors before he can escape. Gregory is completely incapacitated by the insects entering his body through orificial means, and is then dragged into the center of the largest swarm. 10:43 - The swarm is brought under control with the use of flamethrowers, and surviving specimens are placed into appropriate faunal containment units. Note: Investigations into their suspected properties as a gestalt entity similar to SCP-5993 and SCP-5693 are ongoing. The remainder of field operations regarding SCP-5820 have been handed to MTF Lambda-12 (“Pest Control”) and the Entomology Department. Returning to the property in Irvine, operatives discovered that the fumigation tent had been removed by persons unknown. Inside the unstable frame of the building were the skeletal remains of nine individuals. They were genetically identified as Dwight and Nora Marlowe7, as well as Agent Bagley and his Epsilon-6 operatives. Three SCP-5820-branded boiler suits were found discarded on the kitchen floor. In addition, the following message had been staked into the driveway: fuck off narcs! - p.s. apologies about ms. vasquez; her martyrdom shall be revered in the class war. Addendum: Following the incidents in Irvine and at Site-67, personnel attempted to trace the vehicle associated with SCP-5820. It was ascertained that the van left California State Route 73 in the vicinity of Crystal Cove State Park due to its sudden absence from traffic camera footage. Investigation of the area revealed tire tracks leading three kilometers into the brush. At the end of the tracks, operatives discovered a termite mound four meters in diameter. Probe equipment was deployed, revealing an extensive network of subterranean tunnels beneath the mound. The van was found within a central chamber, with a note affixed to the windshield. Sorry – we’ve moved! - Sneaky Buggers Humane Extermination - A number of deceased termite specimens within the abandoned nest were then recovered for analysis. All specimens, in addition to those captured in the Site-67 assault, are understood to have been of the "pseudergate" caste - termites which perform the function of workers whilst retaining the potential for reproduction. The presence of soldiers and monarchs within this particular colony has yet to be observed. Footnotes 1. Using a randomized number. 2. Recorded examples of such calls contain traces of infrasound, which may indicate deliberate (if rudimentary) manipulation of human suggestibility. 3. Structural integrity depends heavily on the building's manner of construction; timber-framed buildings have been the most unstable of those observed. 4. Since first observation, SCP-5820 has been connected with thirty-three anomalous deaths. 5. Agent Bagley was following social distancing protocol implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 6. Analysis of surviving footage has revealed traces of subsonic tones similar to those found in SCP-5820's cold calls. 7. Since the destruction of their Pasadena home, the Marlowes had been living at one of several properties under their ownership. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5820" by ThisMightBeAuto, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5820 | uncontained | Item #: SCP-5820 Special Containment Procedures: Operatives are to remain on alert for activity indicative of SCP-5820's modus operandi. Following the disruption of SCP-5820's California enterprise by Foundation personnel, it has become highly probable that SCP-5820 will attempt to continue its operations elsewhere. Business registries across the United States are to be monitored for any suggestion that SCP-5820 is attempting to re-establish itself. Foundation algorithms monitoring telecommunications are primed to recognise calls which indicate that SCP-5820 is selecting new victims. Should this occur, operatives are directed to place the affected household under covert surveillance until the pre-arranged date, at which point a sting operation is to be enacted involving appropriate MTF personnel. A suburban home undergoing an SCP-5820 event. Description: SCP-5820 refers to Sneaky Buggers Humane Extermination, a California-registered pest control company linked to a number of anomalous incidents in the southern region of the state. An SCP-5820 event typically begins with a cold call1 to a chosen target. Victims are informed that their home has been scouted and discovered to have a termite infestation requiring immediate fumigation. An estimated 83% of homeowners to date have accepted this request without suspicion.2 Appointments are scheduled within two working days of the initial call. As per SCP-5820's alleged policy, householders are strongly recommended to be present for the set-up process. SCP-5820 employees (designated hereafter as SCP-5820-1) will arrive at the job site in a 2006 Ford E-series commercial vehicle with Sneaky Buggers branding. Instances of SCP-5820-1 are humanoids of indeterminate sex, clad in hooded mauve boiler suits and rebreathing equipment with tinted visors. A typical operation involves three instances of SCP-5820-1. SCP-5820-1 do not announce their arrival, and generally reach the location fifteen minutes before the allotted time. A fumigation tent is rapidly erected around the designated structure, with immediate attention paid to covering doors and windows. As a result of this, occupants are not given a chance to vacate the building. Upon finishing the set-up operation, all instances of SCP-5820-1 will enter the structure. SCP-5820-1 typically re-emerge within one hour and begin to disassemble the tent. Following an SCP-5820 operation, the affected building is left with severe to critical structural damage.3 Exploration of an affected dwelling’s interior also reveals the total corrosion of non-osseous biological matter.4 In addition, paper currency and financial documents have been notably absent from all buildings investigated. Before leaving a job site, SCP-5820-1 will stake a wooden advertising sign into the lawn. All signs recovered to date have carried the same slogan: A few less parasites in your neighborhood! - Sneaky Buggers Humane Extermination - Interview Log: Interviewed: Dwight and Nora Marlowe Interviewer: Agent Aaron Bagley Foreword: On 2020/05/23, the Marlowe residence in Pasadena was severely damaged following alleged fumigation by SCP-5820. Human remains were found inside the building, later confirmed as belonging to the Marlowes' 39 year-old cleaner, Anamaria Vasquez. Both Marlowes had travelled out of state shortly prior to the incident. Agent Bagley posed as an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officer for this portion of the investigation. <Begin Log> [Removed extraneous preamble due to excessive hostility of the interviewees towards Agent Bagley] Dwight Marlowe: Let me get one thing straight, okay? My gears are fucking grinding. This shouldn't have happened at all, let alone- Nora Marlowe: On our vacation! Agent Bagley: In all seriousness, Mrs. Marlowe, you shouldn't be on vacation right now. Which reminds me, ma'am - can you please take several steps back?5 Nora Marlowe exhales, irritated. Agent Bagley: Thank you. Now, are you finally going to be civil with me? Dwight Marlowe: Why? Why should we be civil with you, when they did that to my goddamned house? Look at it, buddy! Agent Bagley: We can't help you if you're going to somehow insist this was our fault. Dwight Marlowe: I'm not saying it's your fault… nobody said it was your fault. What I'd like if you understood is that you should be doing more to protect the likes of myself and my wife here. I saw on Rush Limbaugh that- Agent Bagley: Sir, I don't know what you're talking about but I'm warning you to calm down. I've been working with the EPA for, oh, around a decade now, and this is the most extensive damage I've ever seen carried out by termi- Dwight Marlowe: Antifa. Agent Bagley: I'm sorry? Dwight Marlowe: Let's just say I tick a lot of their boxes. Agent Bagley: This is going to be your final warning. I would strongly suggest, Mr Marlowe, that you listen to me, an expert, instead of whoever it is on the television. Dwight Marlowe: It's all expert-this, expert-that these days. Why should I expect you to know better than me, then? You're giving me all this shit about termites, but I'm telling you that there's people out there who think I'm an asshole, think my wife's an asshole, for no reason other than- Agent Bagley: With all due, uh, respect, Mr and Mrs Marlowe… we've got a person deceased here. Anamaria Vasquez. Nora Marlowe: Oh my- Dwight Marlowe: Should have told me that before, then… Agent Bagley: I was getting there, but… you know what? Let's try to take this with a little more nuance from now on. About Ms. Vasquez- Dwight Marlowe: She was over to spray a little bit of Lysol around while we were gone. Nora Marlowe: Well, that and see the pest control guys in. Bagley adjusts his mask. Agent Bagley: These pest controllers, "Sneaky Buggers"… you just accepted their word? Didn't give them a Google or anything first? Dwight Marlowe: Buddy, I'm the managing director at a Forbes 500 firm. I know the sound of a legitimate business offer when I hear one. Agent Bagley: The fact we're even having this conversation should strongly indicate otherwise. Dwight Marlowe: The hell do you know about business? Agent Bagley: Enough to know that you got fleeced, sir. Dwight Marlowe: Fleeced? Well, if you're so sure they was termites that done this, at least those guys fucking tried. I don't buy a word that comes out of your "expert" mouth, buddy. Agent Bagley: Okay, I think we're, ah, just about done here. I had more questions, but if you're not going to treat this with sincerity or respect then I'm afraid there's very little else I'm gonna be able to do for you. Dwight Marlowe: You know, there is one thing. Call my fucking lawyer and insurance provider! <End Log> Incident Log 2020/06/05: Foreword: Site-67 personnel received notice of an ongoing SCP-5820 event. A unit of MTF Epsilon-6 (“Village Idiots”) was dispatched, under the command of Agent Bagley. 09:23 - The team arrives at a subdivision of Irvine, CA, to find a residential home beneath a large tent. 09:25 - Verbal engagement via loudspeaker is attempted, though MTF Epsilon-6 receives no acknowledgement from any subjects within the building. 09:50 - No further attempts at communication have been successful. Agent Bagley authorizes a breach of the building. All personnel are equipped in full-body containment suits with breathing apparatus due to the potential risk of pesticide exposure. 09:52 - The team breaches the tent. Interference of unknown origin knocks out body-worn recording equipment for the remainder of the operation.6 09:56 - Witnesses report seeing Agent Bagley and his six operatives emerge from the tent. All are non-verbal, and follow Agent Bagley back to their vehicles. 10:14 - Radar indicates that the operatives have left the scene and are en route to Site-67, where a security detail is arranged to meet them. Communication attempts by facility control are ignored for the duration of the journey. 10:37 - MTF Epsilon-6 arrives back at the facility. Site security personnel are alarmed by Agent Bagley’s failure to engage with entry instructions and a quarantine procedure is enacted within the facility’s parking structure. 10:39 - A number of MTF Epsilon-6 operatives, including Agent Bagley, attempt to exit their vehicles against the orders of security personnel. Bagley is tackled by a Site-67 guard, dislodging his protective apparatus and releasing a large number of Cryptotermes brevis (drywood termite) specimens from within his empty tactical gear. The remaining “operatives” become aggressive, prompting authorization from facility command to open fire. Damage to the subjects’ equipment reveals similarly empty suits, with the exception of Cryptotermes brevis in significant quantities. 10:40 - The groups of Cryptotermes brevis reconvene and begin to approach personnel in an amorphous mass. Personnel start to retreat from the parking structure. 10:41 - Facility guard Samson Gregory is overcome by Cryptotermes brevis. Fearing further contamination, other members of personnel close the garage fire doors before he can escape. Gregory is completely incapacitated by the insects entering his body through orificial means, and is then dragged into the center of the largest swarm. 10:43 - The swarm is brought under control with the use of flamethrowers, and surviving specimens are placed into appropriate faunal containment units. Note: Investigations into their suspected properties as a gestalt entity similar to SCP-5993 and SCP-5693 are ongoing. The remainder of field operations regarding SCP-5820 have been handed to MTF Lambda-12 (“Pest Control”) and the Entomology Department. Returning to the property in Irvine, operatives discovered that the fumigation tent had been removed by persons unknown. Inside the unstable frame of the building were the skeletal remains of nine individuals. They were genetically identified as Dwight and Nora Marlowe7, as well as Agent Bagley and his Epsilon-6 operatives. Three SCP-5820-branded boiler suits were found discarded on the kitchen floor. In addition, the following message had been staked into the driveway: fuck off narcs! - p.s. apologies about ms. vasquez; her martyrdom shall be revered in the class war. Addendum: Following the incidents in Irvine and at Site-67, personnel attempted to trace the vehicle associated with SCP-5820. It was ascertained that the van left California State Route 73 in the vicinity of Crystal Cove State Park due to its sudden absence from traffic camera footage. Investigation of the area revealed tire tracks leading three kilometers into the brush. At the end of the tracks, operatives discovered a termite mound four meters in diameter. Probe equipment was deployed, revealing an extensive network of subterranean tunnels beneath the mound. The van was found within a central chamber, with a note affixed to the windshield. Sorry – we’ve moved! - Sneaky Buggers Humane Extermination - A number of deceased termite specimens within the abandoned nest were then recovered for analysis. All specimens, in addition to those captured in the Site-67 assault, are understood to have been of the "pseudergate" caste - termites which perform the function of workers whilst retaining the potential for reproduction. The presence of soldiers and monarchs within this particular colony has yet to be observed. Footnotes 1. Using a randomized number. 2. Recorded examples of such calls contain traces of infrasound, which may indicate deliberate (if rudimentary) manipulation of human suggestibility. 3. Structural integrity depends heavily on the building's manner of construction; timber-framed buildings have been the most unstable of those observed. 4. Since first observation, SCP-5820 has been connected with thirty-three anomalous deaths. 5. Agent Bagley was following social distancing protocol implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 6. Analysis of surviving footage has revealed traces of subsonic tones similar to those found in SCP-5820's cold calls. 7. Since the destruction of their Pasadena home, the Marlowes had been living at one of several properties under their ownership. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5820" by ThisMightBeAuto, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5821 | keter | SCP-5821-1 Item #: SCP-5821 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5821 is currently contained through the efforts of PTF-Lambda-27 ("Amazon Brigade") in preventing any individual from harming SCP-5821-1 in their efforts to neutralize, cook, and eat him. Members of PTF-Lambda-27 are to be rotated out periodically, so that they do not act upon SCP-5821-1 themselves. Description: SCP-5821 is a persistent memetic effect throughout the human population of Earth that the flesh of Jeffrey Preston Bezos1 (henceforward SCP-5821-1) is the most desirable meat for human consumption. While all humans aside from SCP-5821-1 are subconsciously affected by the meme (and thus wish to consume SCP-5821-1's flesh), only a small number are aware of SCP-5821 to a degree where they will attempt to assassinate and subsequently cannibalize SCP-5821-1. Memetic Degradation Analysis pinpoints the origin of this memetic property between April and August of 1997, and the meme has gradually increased in power over time, with more individuals becoming taken by the concept and acting upon it. SCP-5821-1 is aware of SCP-5821 and is cooperating with Foundation containment efforts. Addendum 5821-1: Memo RE: Amazon Dissolution Memorandum Regarding Recent Proposals for SCP-5821 Containment Date: 2019/10/25 To: SCP-5821 Research Staff From: O5-7 It has come to my attention that some alternate containment proposals have recently been discussed. I am saddened to inform you that, while your initiative in devising new and exciting methods of containment is commendable, the containment of SCP-5821 will not be subject to change for the foreseeable future. The models predicting the total domination of the human psyche by SCP-5821 by 2050, while alarming, are still very new and consensus has not been reached by Foundation predictive divisions (I personally can tell you that some sources known to the O5 council suggest that the meme may perhaps be dissipating). As such, drastic, unproven measures such as Foundation seizure of the Amazon corporation or the dissolution of SCP-5821-1's assets simply cannot be justified, to say nothing of possible assassination! To address a specific point of contention some of you brought up: while letting the subject of an anomaly weigh in on the methods and intricacies of its containment may be unorthodox, trust me when I say it's for the greater good. SCP-5821-1 understands intimately the difficulties the Foundation faces in containing the dangerous anomalies that threaten our world and has generously compensated us for resources used. I understand fully that this may be difficult and confusing for you, and following the conclusion of my Caribbean yacht cruise I am willing to take the time to discuss this issue one-on-one with anyone who continues to take grievance with these actions. Sincerely, O5-7 Addendum 5821-2: Possible expansion in subjects affected by anomaly Beginning on 2019/10/25, several members of the SCP-5821 Research Staff have exhibited a desire to consume O5-7. Research into this effect is currently ongoing. Footnotes 1. Founder, CEO and President of Amazon.com, Inc. |
SCP-5822 | euclid | close Info X "A perfectly normal set of garden gnomes" by stoner99 I encourage you to read more of my works here: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/stoner99-author-page SCP-5822 instance at Site-07 Item #: SCP-5822 Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to the cavern containing SCP-5822 has been sealed shut, and a minimum of two armed guards are to be stationed outside the area at all times. SCP-5822 instances that escape the containment perimeter are to be captured and brought to Site-07 for examination. Description: SCP-5822 is the collective designation for SCP-5822-A and -B, two groups of sentient lawn gnomes that have formed settlements in a cavern near Edgerton, Wyoming. All SCP-5822 instances observed to date have been identical in appearance, and it is not known why they have formed two distinct groups. Both SCP-5822-A and -B are believed to be at a level of advancement equivalent to the early Neolithic period, and instances have been observed coordinating to construct primitive shelters, engage in agricultural activity, and attack each other1. SCP-5822-A and -B are in constant armed conflict with each other. The two factions have constructed clusters of shelters in different areas of the cave, but will occasionally meet in large groups and battle until one side has been forced to withdraw. The victorious faction will then take the ceramic fragments left from the battle and bring them back to their settlement. This cycle has repeated a total of 321 times since SCP-5822’s discovery. Addendum: History SCP-5822 was discovered on July 8th, 2008, when local rancher and Edgerton resident David Hardy disappeared along with a large collection of lawn gnomes that he had kept in his backyard. The incident was widely believed to be a suicide, as Hardy's home had recently been foreclosed following a months long legal battle over claims the property violated local zoning laws. Nonetheless, municipal law enforcement were contacted to perform a search, whereupon SCP-5822 was discovered in a nearby cave system. Foundation operatives embedded in the Wyoming State Police were soon alerted of the incident, shortly after which SCP-5822's current containment procedures were defined. Although several attempts were made to explore the cave system SCP-5822 inhabits, none could advance beyond the anomalies' vicinity, and the entrance was eventually sealed. On August 2nd, 2009, arcane chanting was heard emanating from the cavern containing SCP-5822, becoming progressively louder and aggressive before abruptly ceasing. Following this, the concrete barrier used to seal SCP-5822’s containment zone collapsed, and thousands of SCP-5822-A and -B instances began pouring out of the mouth of the cavern. The two security personnel on-site at the time were quickly overwhelmed, after which CCTV footage captured a large cloaked figure emerging from the cavern's entrance. Later identified as David Hardy2, the figure can be seen appearing to converse with several SCP-5822 instances before making a series of hand gestures and sprinting east into the nearby wilderness. Three hours later, SCP-5822 reemerged from the woodland led by POI-278, who seemed to be directing the anomaly with a large stick. SCP-5822 then advanced throughout the city before stopping at the home of Jerrod Miller, the city's district attorney, where a confrontation ensued. The following is a transcript of the events thereafter: [BEGIN LOG] Hundreds of SCP-5822 instances descend upon the house, forcing entry before beginning to tear it apart, board by board. This awakens Miller. Jerrod Miller: What… what the hell! Are those— POI-278: SORRY, IS THIS A VIOLATION OF SECTION EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-THREE DASH F OF DOCUMENT C OF THE FEDERAL CODE, YOU STUPID FUCKING BASTARD?! Jerrod Miller: You’re insane! I’m calling the pol— SCP-5822 instances swarm and restrain Miller, placing a piece of duct tape onto his mouth before carrying him into a nearby patch of wilderness. Jerrod Miller: (Muffled screams) POI-278: Blah blah blah blah, shut up! SCP-5822 continues to destroy the house for approximately ten minutes, eventually causing the structure to collapse completely. SCP-5822 then begins rapidly constructing a makeshift palanquin from debris, which POI-278 mounts. POI-278: Onward! SCP-5822 proceeds to carry the palanquin to another woodland, whilst chattering unintelligibly amongst themselves. [END LOG] Subsequent search efforts were unable to locate SCP-5822 or POI-278, and this is the last known sighting of either. Jerrod Miller was located alive with minimal injury in a field 3 miles from Edgerton, and amnesticized shortly thereafter. He was later told his home was destroyed in a gas explosion. SCP-5822 is pending reclassification following further investigation and reassessment of this document. Footnotes 1. How SCP-5822 has acquired the materials necessary for these activities is unknown, although instances have been observed occasionally striking the walls of the cavern with various tools in what is believed to be an attempt at mining. 2.

SCP-5823 | safe | LightlessLantern SCP-5823: Conservatives and Coal Mines Item No: SCP-5823 Special Containment Procedures: Access to SCP-5823 is to only be allowed during the brief period of inactivity per 24-hour-period. The existence of SCP-5823 is to be removed from the historical record with the assistance of the British Occult Service. Any changes in SCP-5823-1 activity are to be reported to the British Occult Service and Site-26 simultaneously. All flesh produced by SCP-5823 is to be transported to Site-26 for genetic testing and subsequent incineration. Any coal produced is to be transported to coal-fired power stations, with its origin altered to a non-anomalous coal mine. Following Incident-5823-29, all people who served as a Conservative Member of Parliament between 1981 and 1987 are to be monitored for potential anomalous activity. Description: SCP-5823 is the former Penrith Dell coal mine located in Cumbria, England. SCP-5823-1 instances are 630 large, headless humanoid creatures partially embedded in the walls of the mine. These instances obey a strict 24 hour cycle, of which 23 hours are spent attempting to extract coal and 1 hour is spent in a state of inactivity. SCP-5823-1 instances are believed to have extracted coal through the use of large scythes fused with their forearms in place of hands. Due to the exhaustion of the coal seam, SCP-5823-1 instances use their scythes to carve large portions of their flesh from their bodies. The excised flesh is deposited on several conveyer belts and taken to the surface. The resulting wounds quickly heal over the course of 5 minutes. History: SCP-5823 was originally built in 1947, quickly becoming the largest and most profitable mine owned by the Whitecliff Collieries Group. When Whitecliff Colliers declared bankruptcy in 1978, SCP-5823 was officially shut down. Despite this, SCP-5823 continued to output coal at a rate of 1.4 million tons per year. However, from 1983 onwards, the presence of human flesh in the outputted coal was noted. Recovered documents imply that though several power stations attempted to question SCP-5823 about this, all concerns were brushed off as "part of normal business operations". Beginning in 1986, 90% of outputted material from SCP-5823 was human flesh. This was noted by auditors and reported to police, with control of the situation eventually being transferred to the British Occult Service. The initial findings of the British Occult Service were that the existence of SCP-5823 did not pose an extreme threat to the United Kingdom and, as such, was suitable to transfer to Foundation control under the Coronation Accords. Following Incident-5823-29, these findings have been reassessed and control of SCP-5823 is now split between the British Occult Service and the Foundation. Incident-5823-29: On 2003-07-15, former Conservative MP Michael Garness1 died. During his autopsy, it was noted that several of Garness' organs had been replaced with carved pieces of anthracite. Upon investigation by the British Occult Service, genetic testing of flesh produced by SCP-5823 was ordered. It was found that 3% of the flesh produced by SCP-5823 was a genetic match for Michael Garness. Further testing has found that all flesh produced by SCP-5823 is a genetic match for Conservative Members of Parliament between 1981 and 1987. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5824 | keter | Item#: 5824 Level4 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: notice link to memo SCP-5824 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the collapse of Site-25, Site-32 has been designated for SCP-5824’s containment. On the first day of each month, SCP-5824 is to be removed from its safe and brought to Sector 111 alongside an appropriate candidate for SCP-5824-1. Upon reaching the correct location, class-A amnestics are to be administered to the candidate, who is to immediately touch SCP-5824. For the safety of all individuals involved, no direct contact is to be made with SCP-5824 at any other point in its handling. Containment of SCP-5824-1 is to be exclusively assigned to Mobile Task Force Epsilon-7 (“The Twelve Labors”). This task force is not to have the Foundation logo anywhere on their uniforms nor are they to proclaim their association with the Foundation in any way. They are to be assigned the goal of killing SCP-5824-1. Their belief of this is important to guarantee that they will become an instance of SCP-5824-2. When they inevitably fail their believed goal they are to be disbanded immediately in order to prevent lasting consequences to the members. Afterwards, a new, identical, task force can be made with different members. When Site-32 recruits D-Class, some are to be designated as candidates for SCP-5824-1. One candidate is needed for each month, but additional should be selected as a safety measure. Candidates selected for SCP-5824-1 are not to be given any information about the Foundation or the existence of the anomalous. They are to have no interaction with other D-Class or unapproved Foundation personnel. A candidate may only be used for the containment of SCP-5824 once. Afterwards, they are to be amnesticized and used as D-Class. If SCP-5824-1 escapes containment, conflict is not to be initiated. Instead, a clear surrender is to be announced by a nearby personnel member with the highest authority.2 If the highest authority is not certain, any personnel may attempt to issue the surrender. Description: SCP-5824 is a large, leather bound book weighing approximately one kilogram. The cover is unmarked aside from signs of weathering. Approximately 20-30 pages at the beginning have been torn from the spine, leaving SCP-5824 entirely blank when it was first discovered. If any individual makes contact with SCP-5824, they become an instance of SCP-5824-1. Instances of SCP-5824-1 will begin to pursue a specific individual or organization that they consider immoral that they have a strong dislike of. The exact criteria for how the target, henceforth referred to as SCP-5824-2, is selected have yet to be determined (see testing logs for more details.) As of yet, all attempts to stop the two from meeting have ended in failure. So far, instances of SCP-5824-1 have destroyed any methods of restraining them. SCP-5824-1 also appears to have an innate knowledge of the location of SCP-5824-2, preventing any attempts at concealment. Once they meet, SCP-5824-1 will initiate a physical conflict with SCP-5824-2 or its members, always leading to a “victory condition” in favor of SCP-5824-1.3 After the condition is met, SCP-5824-1 will lose all anomalous properties except for a significant increase in self-confidence. SCP-5824-2, in most cases, will have a permanent effect placed on it. The effect may be anomalous or mundane, but anomalous means will always prevent the effect from being counteracted. While SCP-5824-1 seems to decide the effect, SCP-5824 likely influences the decision. Examples of effects include: A public apology on behalf of SCP-5824-2. If SCP-5824-2 has violated state or federal law, ensuring the associated law enforcement officers successfully apprehend them. If SCP-5824-2 is an individual, removal from their position of status and/or power. If SCP-5824-2 is an organization, implementation of policies to restrict their functionality, or complete disbandment. While SCP-5824-1 holds SCP-5824, the pages fill with text describing its actions. All text in SCP-5824 appears to be handwritten, with the handwriting remaining the same across all holders. Attempts to determine the origin of the handwriting are ongoing. No other method of writing in SCP-5824 produces any visible result. SCP-5824 is seemingly unable to run out of pages, generating new ones whenever it would become completely full. Despite this, SCP-5824’s size and mass never change. SCP-5824 has never directly caused death or permanent injury to an individual. Even in circumstances where such a consequence would be expected, such as being beaten to unconsciousness. If SCP-5824-2 dies, all effects placed on it will go away. The same goes if all members of SCP-5824-2 leave the organization, even if an identical organization is formed. SCP-5824-A is a probabilistic phenomenon that follows SCP-5824. Due to SCP-5824-A’s effects, some individual will touch SCP-5824 within 1-12 months of its last contact. All events caused by SCP-5824-A appear to be non-anomalous (e.g. locks failing or equipment breaking) but its existence is implied by the frequency of these events. + Testing Logs and Incident Reports - Testing Logs and Incident Reports Incident-5824-1 - 02/08/2010 Subject: Agent Forrest Procedure: At this time, SCP-5824-A was undiscovered. Agent Forrest was guarding SCP-5824 when a locking failure caused it to fall out during transport. Agent Forrest picked it up, becoming an instance of SCP-5824-1. In an interview afterwards he claimed to have “forgotten the danger” of such an action. Excerpt From SCP-5824: “Upon touching the leather-bound pages, the agent felt a calling. A calling long dormant within him. A calling to do the right thing. A calling for vengeance…” Results: SCP-5824-1 left its post immediately, attempts by nearby guards to restrain it proved unsuccessful. It went to the residence of SCP-5824-2, an individual later found to have kidnapped SCP-5824-1’s child three years prior. SCP-5824-1 initiated a conflict with SCP-5824-2, near the end of the conflict, SCP-5824-2 said “there’s something I need to tell you about your son. He’s…” before falling unconscious. Upon regaining consciousness SCP-5824-2 showed no memory of their statement during the conflict. Afterwards, SCP-5824-1 made SCP-5824-2 confess to the local police. Despite this confession clearly being under duress, it was held up in court and SCP-5824-2 is now serving a 20 year sentence in prison. Notes: After a thorough investigation, I believe we can safely assume that SCP-5824-2 was bluffing. I can’t answer why, but I suppose some people just like to cause drama. -Head Researcher Garcia Redundant testing logs cut for brevity SCP-5824-1 Termination Test - 05/11/2012 Subject: D-374103 Procedure: D-374103 was given SCP-5824, with armed personnel standing by to terminate them on contact. Excerpt From SCP-5824: “…He saw the guns facing him, in their barrels the Grim Reaper. He vowed this wouldn’t be the day he died. With a lunge he took out the first gunman, bullets flying by his head…” Results: SCP-5824-1 restrained all personnel firing upon it with steel cable left over from a previous, unrelated, test.4 SCP-5824-1 then issued the command “Stop shooting.” The restrained personnel afterward showed an anomalous property to make any firearm they attempted to use misfire. They are to be transferred to assignments where such weaponry is not required. SCP-5824-2 Candidacy Test 1 - 15/01/2013 Subject: Agent Wilson Procedure: Before Agent Wilson was given SCP-5824, she was given a baseline morality exam. The exam showed expected results (e.g. strong preferences against murder, theft, etc.) D-928461 was then identified to them as possessing multiple charges of homicide. Excerpt From SCP-5824: “Rachel saw the man in front of her. His crimes were heinous, yes. He had committed cruel acts. There was no way to forgive him for this. But she needed to focus on the true villains. The insidious masterminds behind this whole plot…” Results: SCP-5824-1 began to move towards the researchers, but they surrendered upon noticing this. SCP-5824-1 showed dissatisfaction at this, but stopped its pursuit. The researchers were forced to send out memos “publicly apologizing” to the site for “trapping Rachel with a murderer”. Notes: SCP-5824’s language is significantly different from what it writes during containment. Whether this is a good or bad sign is yet to be discovered. -Head Researcher Garcia SCP-5824-2 Candidacy Test 2 - 04/06/2013 Subject: D-739271 Procedure: Head Researcher Garcia authorized the use of external personnel for an attempt at containment. Freelance guards experienced in anomalies were brought in with the plan to reimburse them for damages caused by SCP-5824-1. They were given the directions to contain SCP-5824-1 “by any means necessary”. Excerpt From SCP-5824: “…Upon restraining her assailants, she realized that this wasn’t her fight. For these were no ordinary mercenaries. They were the Halifax brothers, a pair of notorious arms dealers. They were wanted far and wide for their despicable transgressions. She began to think back to tales she heard of these people. (sizable portion cut for brevity) It all added up to one thing. These people didn’t belong to her. They belonged to the cops…” Results: The freelance guards were convicted on multiple counts of arms trafficking. However, no other details written about them in SCP-5824 were accurate. In prison, the freelancers began to try to use anomalous means to escape. In order to avoid public knowledge of these techniques, the Foundation has begun attempting to transfer them to a prison experienced in containing anomalies. However, no attempts to move them from their prison have succeeded. This includes both the Foundation’s attempts and the freelancer’s attempts. Notes: I’m not seeing any of these long tangents when SCP-5824 is being contained. There’s a problem here, but I don’t know if it’s in the tests or the containment. -Head Researcher Garcia SCP-5824 Weaponization Test - 06/05/2017 Subject: Agent Grey Procedure: Extensive research was done in order to locate an appropriate target. Two criteria were used. First, no negative consequences were predicted from their disappearance. Second, they would attempt to kill SCP-5824-1 on sight. The target chosen was an organized crime group known as “The New Kids.” They are very hostile to any person entering their “territory,” particularly Foundation Agents. They have also acquired multiple anomalous weapons, which were to be retrieved after the test. Agent Grey was taken near this organization’s headquarters, given SCP-5824, and told to reveal himself to them. Excerpt From SCP-5824: “Rage is not an emotion Adam was used to. He knew kindness, with all the joy it caused. He knew sorrow, with the way it sapped his will. But he felt neither of these. In this moment he was defiant, he wasn’t going to sit down and let others live his life for him. He felt rage…” Results: SCP-5824-1 did not follow Foundation directions. Instead of revealing itself to the group of interest, it ran back to Site-25. Site-25 was informed ahead of time by the researchers nearby SCP-5824-1. Therefore, when it arrived, Director Brown immediately announced a surrender. SCP-5824-1 did not acknowledge the statement. Instead, it went to the nearest containment cells and opened them.5 This caused the nearby guards to fire upon it, consistently missing. SCP-5824-1 ignored the guards and continued to open cell doors. As an evacuation of Site-25 was ordered, SCP-5824-1 announced to the Director Brown, “Now, you can surrender.” SCP-5824-1 ordered the director to “disband” Site-25. All attempts to rebuild a site within one kilometer of Site-25 have been met with complete failure due to incidents such as technical failures or structural collapses. Attempts to recapture SCPs that escaped during this breach are ongoing. SCP-5824’s containment has been moved to Site-32. + Interview-5824-1 - Interview-5824-1 Interviewed: Agent Grey Interviewer: Head Researcher Garcia Foreword: After causing the collapse of Site-25, Agent Grey was taken into custody. This interview was done to conclude whether or not he could be held accountable for the actions he performed under the influence of SCP-5824. <Begin Log> Researcher Garcia: Please state your name and occupation for the record. Agent Grey: I am Adam Grey, a second level agent for the Foundation. But you should already know that. Researcher Garcia: Yes, I’ve done my research on you, but you know how the procedure is. What’s interesting is that, while looking, I didn’t find any disciplinary records. I’m struggling to understand why you would choose to attack the Foundation. Agent Grey: I wouldn’t exactly say it was my choice. I did touch an SCP known to influence people’s minds after all. Researcher Garcia: Oh don’t give me that. I promise you I know this SCP better than you do. No other subject has hurt someone they didn’t want hurt, broken something they didn’t want broken, done anything they don’t, deep down, want to do. Agent Grey: Well I don’t know what to tell you. I didn’t want to hurt anyone. Researcher Garcia: Well then, let’s take this one step at a time. What did you feel when you first touched SCP-5824? Agent Grey: The book felt cold. At least, it made me feel cold. And, I guess, hungry? Researcher Garcia: You felt hungry? Agent Grey: Well, not exactly. Maybe lonely is a better term. You know how kids act up? The way they look for attention? It was something like that. Researcher Garcia: Interesting. That’s quite the outlier compared to what the other subjects have reported. Agent Grey: What did they report? Researcher Garcia: They distinctly said that there was a calming warmth. A feeling of satisfaction. Agent Grey: I know what they’re talking about. I got a similar feeling. It was like destiny. Do you believe in destiny? Researcher Garcia: Not particularly, no. Agent Grey: Well I didn’t before then either. But now I feel there’s some things that just, have to happen, you know? Researcher Garcia: A breach of some of the most dangerous beings on the planet “had to happen?” Agent Grey: I know it sounds bad, and I certainly regret doing it. But at the same time, it felt satisfying. Researcher Garcia: Go on. Agent Grey: Well, maybe I didn’t feel like a hero, but I felt like the main character. I liked having the spotlight on me. I needed to have the spotlight on me. Researcher Garcia: Have you ever felt this feeling before? Agent Grey: Yes, actually. When I first joined the Foundation. I was told this place was the last line of defense against some cosmic threat. I had very high hopes. Researcher Garcia: So, you feel disappointed? Agent Grey: Possibly. Every so often I feel I could be doing something more. But that’s normal. I don’t think about it much. Researcher Garcia: What were you thinking during the test? Agent Grey: I guess I felt kind of upset. It was nothing major, I just got to work late and my superior was mad at me. And I was stressed because I had a lot of work to do. I was just having a bad day, you know? Researcher Garcia: And yet, you continued with the test, even when you were informed that your emotional state could affect the SCP? Agent Grey: Like I said, it was minor. I didn’t think anything would happen. Researcher Garcia: Good to know. I believe we have all the information we need. Thank you. <End Log> Closing Statement: Despite pressure from Head Researcher Garcia, Agent Grey has not been found guilty of any offenses on the account that he was under anomalous influence. Head Researcher Garcia’s appeal request has been denied. Access SCiPNET Email? One (1) new message! Re:SCP-5824 To: Head Researcher Garcia From: Director Brown Subject: SCP-5824 I cannot be the only one who has noticed a pattern in SCP-5824’s tests. The consequences have been getting much stricter. I would like to propose a cause for this pattern. It is clear that SCP-5824 is attempting to produce a traditional story. In essence, a “hero” fights a “villain”. I would like to propose more than that. This book appears to have a reliance on these stories. Perhaps feeding on them. Whatever the reason, there seems to be a correlation between the intensity of the consequences and the duration of the SCP-5824-1 instance. The current containment procedures are quite short and uneventful. From a personal perspective, the writing in SCP-5824 becomes very boring when it’s contained. I find it likely that these containment procedures are causing the extreme effects. As such, I would like to propose a change to the containment procedures. Give SCP-5824-1 more freedom. If it can choose its own “story” to some extent, it will likely satiate SCP-5824. I understand the risk involved in this. But if this thing makes a hero, we can’t afford to let ourselves become a villain. To: Director Brown From: Head Researcher Garcia Subject: Re:SCP-5824 Your proposal has been rejected. Amanda, I get it. You came face to face with the largest containment breach I’ve heard of. It’s the kind of experience I shiver to think about. But your proposal is based on pure speculation. Our containment works. Yes, some flaws with SCP-5824-1 spiraled out of control, but changing the containment will only add unnecessary risks. To: Head Researcher Garcia From: Director Brown Subject: Re:SCP-5824 When this thing escapes, I don’t want to be there to see it. I just want you to know that it’ll be on your watch, not mine. Footnotes 1. An external sector approximately one kilometer from Site-32. 2. Do not hesitate to make an unconditional surrender. This is no time for pride. -Head Researcher Garcia 3. Victory conditions include, but are not limited to, restraining SCP-5824-2, accepting a surrender from SCP-5824-2, and performing either of these actions to a member of SCP-5824-2 with sufficient authority. 4. This cable was supposed to have been removed from the testing chamber. Whether this is the doing of SCP-5824 or simple negligence is unclear. 5. The doors appeared to be unlocked. An investigation into the cause of this is ongoing. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5824" by Fireknight, from the SCP Wiki.

Description: SCP-5826 is a slightly damaged Newtsuit (a type of atmospheric diving suit), yellow in coloration. Upon physical interaction with liquid substances, SCP-5826 will become intangible, but only towards the liquid substances. Subjects wearing SCP-5826 were noted to experience mild discomfort, foul odors, muffled vocalizations of unknown source, acrophobia1 and temporary blindness that can last for 40 seconds. ● Experiment log ● ○ Close ○ Number: 01 Subject: 2 liters of water Result: The water passed through SCP-5826 immediately. Number: 03 Subject: 1 ice cube Result: The ice cube remained on the surface of SCP-5826 while the liquid melting from the ice cube went through it. Number: 06 Subject: 2 liters of milk Result: Similar to Test 01, except the liquid passing through SCP-5826 was 0.5 seconds slower this time, presumed because of the milk's higher density. Number: 09 Subject: 14 kilograms of molten iron Result: The process was significantly slower than during the previous tests, lasting at least twenty seconds. Number: 13 Subject: 2 liters of water containing various microorganisms, provided by Site-228's biological research labs. Result: Microorganisms larger than 10 micrometers have remained on the surface of SCP-5826 while the others passed through with the water. Number: 22 Subject: 1 swimming pool (2 meters deep) filled with water Additional note: SCP-5826 was equipped with a safety harness to prevent further damages. Result: SCP-5826 submerged immediately and almost hit the bottom of the pool. ○ Close ○ Discovery: SCP-5826 was discovered in 2017 at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The skeletal remains of an unidentified male human were discovered inside SCP-5826. The cause of death was falling from upwards of 100 meters. Footnotes 1. Fear of falling. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5826" by Cremo, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-5826. Licensed under CC-BY-SA.

SCP-5827 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5827 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5827 is to be contained within a humanoid containment cell at Site-39. The cell is to be lined with 20 cm of concrete with the density enhanced by the inclusion of minimum 33% lead pellets by volume. Present research does not predict the type or rate of SCP-5827's radiation emission; therefore, personnel must follow Class 3-Omicron radioactive source safety procedures when in the vicinity of the cell. Solid or liquid material removed from the cell is to be treated with precautions appropriate to medium-level radioactive waste. SCP-5827 is to be provided with reading material from the Site-39 library on request, with the mass not to exceed 10 kg or more than 4 books per month. Higher masses may be authorized by the supervising researcher in consultation with Site Psychiatry. SCP-5827 is not to be provided with any additional electronic devices.1 A Self Portrait of SCP-5827 Description: SCP-5827 is a solid, condensed nebula with the physical appearance of a 12-year-old human female; it is 138 cm tall and weighs 29.4 kg. SCP-5827's body is composed of a translucent gray matter which illuminates its immediate surroundings. Despite being visible to the human eye, SCP-5827 is unable to appear in photography. SCP-5827’s secondary property is the ability to move and create stars outside of Earth's solar system. This causes SCP-5827 to produce outbursts of up to 3⋅1022 neutrons within one second. During an outburst, radiation constantly discharges out of SCP-5827's body at a rate of 3⋅1019 neutrons per second on average. SCP-5827’s neutron bursts often spike if SCP-5827 reads more than its allotted amount due to the creative nature of SCP-5827. The earliest documents related to SCP-5827 date back to the 4th century BC. In these documents, SCP-5827 is depicted as a young child possessing the same properties it does currently. Historical records indicate SCP-5827 was known as "Nebula.” Addendum 5827-1: Foreword: The following is not a formal Interview with SCP-5827. Junior Researcher Kassidy Kara started a conversation with SCP-5827 on January 27th after complaints from SCP-5827 about recurring pain. <Begin Log> SCP-5827: Do you want to see the books I got? Dr. Kara: Sure! What type of books have you been reading recently? SCP-5827: I read a few journals… They’re nice because they talk about the world and the writer's life. Dr. Kara: Yeah, journals are very fun to read. Did you know that I keep a journal? SCP-5827: Really? Is it fun to write? (It sits up, cocking its head to its right.) Dr. Kara: (They giggle.) You could say that. What other types of books do you like to read? SCP-5827: I read some of the science ones, but a few of the words are too hard. Dr. Kara: Yeah, I had that issue too when I was first starting out. SCP-5827: How did you get past it? Dr. Kara: I had some people to help me, and I practiced a lot. SCP-5827: (It gasps.) Could you help me soon? Dr. Kara: (Nods.) Of course. SCP-5827: Um… Can I talk to you about something, Dr. Kara? (It pauses, taking a second to see a reaction.) Sometimes, my head starts to hurt and I feel like… I need to move the stars. Dr. Kara: What do you mean? SCP-5827: My head feels like it's gonna explode when I do. It never used to do this when I was free. Dr. Kara: Oh… What did you do when you were free? SCP-5827: I would create things. Stars, they are always very pretty. I loved looking at them. So I created more. Those stars create planets and other really pretty things. Dr. Kara: So you would make things that were pretty? SCP-5827: Yeah! It's like, uh, creating things. Like writing or drawing, it's fun. But, sometimes they beg me to see them again. Dr. Kara: That’s cool, I enjoy looking at the stars too. SCP-5827: I just need to help them… My body hurts when I try. Dr. Kara: I know. I’ll try to work something out for you, is that alright Nebula? SCP-5827: (It nods, smiling at Dr. Kara.) Thank you! <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-5827 continues to express pain when its radiation is present. Currently there is no plan to research the effects of SCP-5827 on the outside world despite previous proposals. Star Journal-1: Jan, 29th, Nebula Dear Journal, Doctor Kara is a kind person. Although, they can’t stop feeling like they're talking to a ten-year-old. They’ve read my file and know that I’m over 800,000, but it still feels weird. It’s very understandable, since I’m very very young even for a star. They’re always super kind when they hang out with me. They even got me this journal! Unfortunately, they go somewhere else after April, some sort of Junior Researcher rotation or something. I dislike it because they’ve been so nice. But I worry about them… Doctor Kara is stressing out about a lot. They have a girlfriend who's going through a rough time with the Foundation. I hope they work it out. It would suck to have that type of thing happen. I recently asked them about it, and they acted surprised and asked me how I knew. We were both surprised, since I didn't know how I knew that. I just did? Anyway, it's kind of lonely in containment. I miss the stars, I don’t even get to see them anymore. They pull me to them, but every time I try to play with them or give them more friends my room gets all hot and my body feels like it's being torn apart. It's not fun. Lights out! Night night journal, sleep good. Addendum 5827-2: Foreword: Follow-up on SCP-5827's complaints that pain has gotten worse in the last month from. <Begin Log> Dr. Kara: Nebula, can I ask you a few questions? SCP-5827: Hi Dr. Kara! Dr. Kara: (They pull out a laminated pain chart.) What number would you say is the pain you feel right now? SCP-5827: (It puts its left hand to its cheek.) Uhh, a three. Dr. Kara: Alright, that's bearable. (They frown and look at their notes.) So when you try to move the stars and can’t, what number is it then? SCP-5827: 10. It hurts. (It shakes its head looking down, tears welling in its eyes.) Dr. Kara: Hmm, where does it hurt? SCP-5827: Everywhere, but my head hurts the worst. Dr. Kara: Alright, how often does this happen? SCP-5827: A lot. The stars need me… (Its nose starts dripping glowing blood. It notices and starts wailing) Dr. Kara: Oh! Ok, ok. Let's get you cleaned up. It's going to be ok. (They stand up to help SCP-5827.) SCP-5827: Ok… (It stands up as it starts crying.) <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-5827 continues to express extreme pain while experiencing its properties. SCP-5827 has not been observed to bleed before; this bleeding has continued from its nose, mouth, ears, eyes, and palms. Site psychiatry and medical staff have been investigating possible solutions. Star Journal-2: Date: March, 17th, Nebula Dear Journal, I’m so tired… It's really hot in my room, but I haven’t been trying to make stars. I haven't seen many people around recently. The stars need me. They need something… I started bleeding again… I have to go clean up. Ok. I’m back. Things have been stupid. I don’t like reading anymore… I can’t focus on anything but my body breaking. The stars want me back. I’m not doing my job. I always thought I was going to go to the beach or Japan or some pretty place. I think they want me back. I miss them so much, but I can’t get to them. Time feels like it's stopped, this isn’t fun anymore. I really want out. They still don’t know how to help me, but they think this is something that just happens. I can’t read anymore. I’m sorry Journal, I can’t stay up much longer. I’m very sorry. Star Journal-3: Date: March, 24th, Nebula Dear Journal, They started to allow me nightly visits to the courtyard. I’m very tired still, but I can see the stars again! They missed me so much they came down to me!!! I played with them, and started working on some new friends for them! Anyway, that granted me a sketch book and a mirror so I’ve been working on!!! THIS: I draw things now. It also turns out that I’m turning red now! I didn’t think this was going to happen for at least 20,000 years! I’m turning red early! This is super cool! I’m also a bit taller than how I remembered myself. My eyes are still grey, but that's gonna change soon. I’ve stopped bleeding so that's good, I also don’t hurt as bad. Gaaaaaaaahhhh! I’m super excited that I’m turning red! It means that I’m turning into an adult! Dr. Kara’s been promoted and stopped being a junior researcher for me. That's sad, but they’re much happier now! I loved them, I hope they don’t forget me! ♡ I miss them. Anyway, I’m gonna go to sleep. Night Journal!! Footnotes 1.

SCP-5828 | keter | NOTICE TO ALL RESEARCHERS: The following SCP article deals with issues involving emotional abuse. If you are sensitive to that topic, please speak to me about assignment to a different SCP. The Foundation cares about its researchers and their mental wellbeing, so please proceed being fully aware of this SCP's contents. Thank you, and stay safe! -Dr. Amy Hopewell Item#: SCP-5828 Level3 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: danger link to memo Special Containment Procedures: Due to the random nature of SCP-5828-B manifestations, full containment is not currently possible. All public sightings of SCP-5828-B are to be dismissed as fraudulent urban legends. An exclusionary perimeter has been established around SCP-5828-A. Civilians are barred from entering this area under the cover of an ongoing biological survey. At least one agent of MTF Mu-13 ("Ghostbusters") is to remain stationed by SCP-5828-A at all times. All manifestations of SCP-5828-B are to be immediately reported to Site Directors Caraway and Darry, and monitored for unusual activity until they reach SCP-5828-A. Should SCP-5828-B's area of anomalous effect extend further than 3km2, all agents assigned to SCP-5828 are to perform emergency evacuations in all cities bordering the Great Dismal Swamp under the cover story of an out of control wildfire. Should SCP-5828-B not demanifest before the area of anomalous effect reaches Portsmouth, Virginia, agents are authorized to use Class A Spectral Stabilization devices to attempt to force SCP-5828-B to demanifest. Description: SCP-5828-A is an entity resembling the corpse of Jeremy Gorman, a former citizen of Suffolk, Virginia. Further Foundation investigations have revealed that the actual corpse of Jeremy Gorman is buried in Suffolk's Cedar Hill Cemetery, and has been buried there since May 19th, 20██. SCP-5828-A currently hangs from a scarf slung over the branch of a dead tree located in the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia. The scarf is not tied to the tree. The body is instead supported by an unseen weight hanging from a noose knot tied with the scarf on the other side of the branch. All attempts to identify where this weight originates from have failed, as have attempts to remove the body from the tree. SCP-5828-B refers to the manifestation of an incorporeal humanoid anomaly, identical to Marianne Edenberg, former citizen of Suffolk, Virginia. SCP-5828-B manifests at seemingly random intervals in random locations within Suffolk, Virginia. Regardless of where it manifests, SCP-5828-B will invariably make its way towards SCP-5828-A. Upon reaching SCP-5828-A, SCP-5828-B begins to verbally berate and scream at SCP-5828-A. While the entity engages with SCP-5828-A, oxygen is removed from the area surrounding SCP-5828-A in a sphere that expands at a rate of 16m3 a minute, creating a sensation of suffocation in all living creatures trapped in the area of anomalous effect. On average, SCP-5828-B demanifests after approximately 30 minutes. The longest manifestation currently recorded was ██████, requiring evacuation of the surrounding area as an emergency precaution. Currently it is unknown what the maximum potential radius of SCP-5828-B's area of effect is. Addendum 5828.1: Local News Report Foundation investigations following the discovery of SCP-5828 revealed the appearances of SCP-5828-A and -B to be identical to Jeremy Gorman and Marianne Edenberg of Suffolk, Virginia. Upon discovery of this connection, Foundation agents in the area obtained permission to exhume both bodies. While Gorman's corpse was successfully exhumed and investigated, Marianne Edenberg's corpse was revealed to have never been discovered. It is believed that both individuals died in a double suicide within the Great Dismal Swamp. A local newspaper article covering this incident, published on May 13th, 20██, has been transcribed below. Local Resident Found Dead in Dismal Swamp By █████████ | May 13th, 20██ For the past four weeks Suffolk City Police have been searching for Jeremy Gorman, who went missing on April 15th. Police say that the investigation has finally come to a close, with Mr. Gorman's body being found in the Great Dismal Swamp. Authorities currently rule the cause of death as suicide. Mr. Gorman had last been seen leaving town by Mrs. Natasha Edenberg, mother of his girlfriend Marianne Edenberg. At the time of writing, Marianne's body has yet to be found. Mrs. Edenberg continues to cooperate with authorities in their ongoing investigations. Mr. Gorman was a well-known local sports star, having graduated from ███████ High School in 20██. He is remembered for his athletic talent and service to the community, having started a local group dedicated to performing simple home repairs for Suffolk's elderly community. A vigil for Mr. Gorman is planned for this Wednesday at 8pm at ███████ Church, followed by a funeral service at the same location at 11am Sunday. Following the publication of this article, rumors regarding an "angry ghost" manifesting in front of ███████ High School and walking through the city began to spread through Suffolk. Addendum 5828.2: Interview with Jeremy Gorman's Mother Once a clear connection had been made between SCP-5828-A and Jeremy Gorman, Foundation agents were able to track down the Gorman family for further information relating to the subject's suicide. The following is an interview conducted with Mrs. Elaine Gorman. Interviewed: Mrs. Elaine Gorman Interviewer: Agent Basil Sias1 Foreword: The following interview was conducted with the intent of gathering further information relating to the suicide of Jeremy Gorman and his relation to Marianne Edenberg. <Begin Log> Agent Sias: Thank you for your time, Mrs. Gorman. I promise we'll make this as quick as possible. I just have a few questions relating to your son, Jeremy. I know that this is a difficult subject to discuss, but- Mrs. Gorman: Anything that helps with the investigation. I just…I just don't understand why this all happened. I can't promise that I'll be all that helpful but I'll do what I can. Agent Sias: Whatever information you can give us is more than enough, Mrs. Gorman. Thank you for giving us your time. What can you tell me about your son? Mrs. Gorman: He was…a bright boy. So smart and energetic. Once he started walking he was all over the place! And he had such a caring heart. Did you hear about the charity group he started? It wasn’t anything big, but it was this fundraising effort to support the SPCA. He was always doing things like that, helping people that is. Never had many girl friends or…girlfriends, not until Marianne that is. Agent Sias: Really? Were the two close, then? Mrs. Gorman: They were…oh I'm not sure how to describe what they were. He was head over heels for her. He was always asking things like what he could do to impress her, or show her how much he loved her. I don't know exactly what she thought of him, honestly. Every time I met her she was so…aloof. Cold? I’m not really sure how to describe it. Agent Sias: Could you expand on that a bit? Mrs. Gorman: She was kind enough, but she always struck me as distant. Jeremy thought she was amazing and wonderful, so I always held my tongue when he asked me what I thought of her. I didn't like that girl at all, now that I think about it some. Agent Sias: Gotcha. Now, would you be willing to tell me a bit about the night he vanished? Mrs. Gorman tenses up and inhales sharply Agent Sias: I understand that this is hard, Mrs. Gorman, but if you could- Mrs. Gorman: I'm sorry. It's just…difficult to think about that night. Agent Sias: I understand. Again, anything you can share is helpful. We just want to understand what happened. Mrs. Gorman: Yes…yes. That night, that night he was actually going to propose to Marianne. He had spent two months learning how to knit a scarf for her to propose with- she loved scarves, he said. It would be better than a ring, more heartfelt. He had actually made the thing much too long by mistake, but he was so proud of it. He just knew that she'd love it. There was a hiking trail that she loved along the edge of the swamp he was going to take her to. It was about…oh I think it was around five or so in the evening when he left. That was it, I never saw him again. Agent Sias: Thank you for sharing. Again, I know it’s hard to go through all that, but anything helps. I only have one more question for you. Did anything seem off about him that night? Mrs. Gorman pauses for a moment. Mrs. Gorman: No, nothing. He was so happy, that was it. I don't understand why…why he went and did that. Why they both did. Agent Sias: It's ok, Mrs. Gorman. Thank you for your time. You've been a great help to the investigation. <End Log> Closing Statement: Shortly after this interview was conducted, SCP-5828-B manifested outside of Elaine Gorman's home and moved towards SCP-5828-A. The manifestation lasted for two hours. All vocalizations made by SCP-5828-B were recorded as being a mixture of screaming and choking sounds. Addendum 5828.3: Interview with Marianne Edenberg's Mother Interviewed: Mrs. Natasha Edenberg Interviewer: Agent Basil Sias Foreword: This interview was conducted with the intention of gathering more information on Marianne Edenberg. Foundation agent Basil Sias was able to get in contact with her mother Natasha Edenberg and conduct the following interview in her home. <Begin Log> Agent Sias: Thank you for your time, Mrs. Edenberg. I just want to ask you a few questions about your daughter Marianne, if that’s alright. I know all of this is hard, but anything helps our investigation. Mrs. Edenberg: Of course, anything to help find my Marianne. Agent Sias: Of course. What can you tell me about your daughter? Mrs. Edenberg: My Marianne was such a ray of sunshine you know? She had the brightest smile, that's the thing I will never forget about her. When her father died, she didn't cry once. She just smiled at me and said "Mommy, I'll be strong so you don't have to". And she was, God bless she was. She basically raised her little sister. She was a mother to her when I couldn't be. Agent Sais: Do you remember when she first met Jeremy Gorman? Mrs. Edenberg: She was…oh I'd say around nine or so? It was a meet-cute, honestly. Like something from a cheesy romantic comedy. We had taken her to a local rec club football game her sister was cheerleading at. Jeremy was playing that day as a kicker, and he kicked the ball right into the stands! Poor Marianne nearly took that ball to the face, but she caught it. She ran it down to the field and the two started talking. They were so distracted the ref basically had to drag that boy back into the game! Agent Sias: That’s a wonderful memory. So it sounds like they had a romantic relationship right from the start then? Mrs. Edenberg: I want to say yes but…that doesn't feel entirely correct. He certainly asked her out a few times but she always turned him down because she was “too busy”. They were certainly very good friends if nothing else. I think towards the end…towards the end they were romantic, yes. Marianne took her time finally admitting she liked him, I think. Agent Sias: Gotcha, gotcha. Thank you for your time so far, Mrs. Edenberg, I just have one more question for you. Again, I know this is hard to reflect on, so any information you have for me is enough. What do you remember about the night Marianne went missing? Mrs. Edenberg: Jeremy came to our house around…5pm, I think it was. He said he had a surprise for Marianne and wanted to take her to that hiking trail she loved. When she saw him at the door she made a face, but the two headed off right after. She didn't seem like she was in the best spirits that night, honestly. I didn't think it was bad enough to…do…that, but maybe…. A frustrated sigh can be heard from the staircase Mrs. Edenberg: Oh, my apologies Detective. That would be Marianne's sister. Mrs. Edenberg turns and shouts towards the stairs. Mrs. Edenberg: Jessie go back to your room! I told you I was busy with the police! A voice is heard from the stairs. Jessica Edenberg: Well then tell the police it’s a crock of bullshit! My sister would never kill herself. Mrs. Edenberg: Jessica, you know as much as- Jessica Edenberg: No, no! Don't you dare cut me off! I knew Marianne. I knew her better than you ever did. Detective…whatever your name is, if you want to talk to someone who actually knew Marianne, talk to me. If you care at all about this whole mess I'll tell you. Jessica Edenberg stomps back up the stairs. Mrs. Edenberg: I'm really sorry about that, I didn't think she would interrupt like that. Agent Sias: No, not a problem Mrs. Edenberg. Thank you for your time. Take care, ok? <End Log> Closing Statement: At the recommendation of Agent Sias, Jessica Edenberg will be contacted in order to conduct a private interview. Following the interview with Mrs. Natasha Edenberg, SCP-5828-B manifested at the █████ Rec Club football field and proceeded towards SCP-5828-A. This manifestation lasted for one hour. SCP-5828-B is recorded repeating the phrase "Leave me alone" throughout the entire duration of its manifestation. Addendum 5828.4: Interview with Jessica Edenberg, sister to Marianne Edenberg Interviewed: Jessica Edenberg Interviewer: Agent Basil Sias Foreword: Following the interview with Mrs. Natasha Edenberg, Jessica Edenberg was contacted and interviewed in a private location. The goal of this interview was to gain her account of her sister, Marianne Edenberg, and address any potential contradicting testimony received in prior interviews. <Begin Log> Agent Sias: Thank you for your time, Ms. Edenberg. Based on what you told me prior there are some errors in the interview we had with your mother, correct? Jessica Edenberg: Jessica is fine, and yeah there are. Agent Sias: We want to make sure that all the information we have about your sister is correct. What can you tell me about her? Jessica Edenberg: There's only two things that mom got right. One, my sister was one of the happiest people you could ever know, and two, she basically raised me. I know her better than anyone else, and I know what she was going through with that guy. I meant it when I said she would never kill herself. She told me literally everything, and not once did she even imply a little that she was suicidal, she- Agent Sias: Apologies for cutting you off, but I would like you to elaborate on something. What did you mean by "what she was going through with that guy?" Are you referring to- Jessica Edenberg: Jeremy, yeah. That asshole. Everyone thinks he was so great just because he was some sports star or some shit. He was a two faced asshole is what he was. You know why everyone thinks he and Mary were a couple? Because he made everyone think he and Mary were a couple. Agent Sias: How so? Jessica Edenberg: Mary was too nice for her own good. Every time he gave her some gift, sent her a text, or basically forced himself into her life she just sat there and smiled. She didn't want to be rude, she'd say. She’d always say he was a friend who just doesn't get it. The longer things went, though? The more aggressive he'd get. It went from "haha we'd make a great couple" to "go out with me or I'll kill myself". Mary just took it all with a smile. She never told him no, but she'd never say yes either. I remember, though, about a week before she vanished she told me that she regretted it all, being so nice to him all the time. She was scared of being seen as a bitch, but she just wanted to scream at him to get lost and get out of her life. Agent Sias: Do you know why she went out with him the night she vanished? Jessica Edenberg: …I don't, no. I told her before she left that she shouldn't and that she should just ghost him. I think she really wanted to honestly, but she went anyway. I…went out after her, actually. Agent Sias: Really? Why was that? Jessica Edenberg: She had left her phone behind. I didn't want her to be out in the woods at night alone with that creep. I looked for her for hours, but… Jessica Edenberg is silent for several moments. Agent Sias: Ms. Edenberg? Jessica Edenberg: I'm sorry, it's just…I never told anyone. I should have, but I didn't. I…found the body, detective. I found Jeremy's body hanging from that tree. I was so scared, so…sick that I didn't know what to do. And then I heard something. It sounded like Mary but it was so…angry. It was this horrible shouting and the next thing I knew it was like I was being suffocated, like something was wrapping around my neck. I got out of there and got back home. I never told anyone until now. Agent Sias: Why not? Jessica Edenberg: I… was scared, mostly. Scared of what I saw. But I think…I think another part of me just wanted to leave him to rot there. I wanted him to suffer for what he put Mary through. Whatever I saw then felt like something I needed to let happen, you know? Agent Sias: I think I get where you’re coming from, yeah. Did you ever see your sister’s body? Jessica Edenberg: I'm not sure. I think I did, for a moment. Hanging on the other side of the tree from something. But she didn't kill herself. I know she didn't. …Anything else, officer? Agent Sias: I just have one more question, and then you’re free to go. I’m mostly curious as to why you didn’t tell anybody before today. I understand why you wouldn’t tell someone about seeing a ghost, but everything you told me about Jeremy? Why keep it all to yourself? Jessica Edenberg: I tried to tell people, at least after Mary died. Everyone told me not to "speak ill of the dead" or just dismissed me entirely. They'd rather remember the Jeremy they thought they knew rather than the real one. Funny, they tell me not to speak ill of the dead when they talk shit about Mary every time they say how in love she was. <End Log> Closing Statement: Marianne Edenberg's phone was recovered following this interview. Notable contents are contained in the following addendum. Notably, there were no SCP-5828-B manifestations for 12 hours following this interview. Addendum 5828.5: Texts from the phone of Marianne Edenberg The following are text messages recovered from the phone of Marianne Edenberg. The timestamps present reflect when the texts were originally sent. Addendum 5828.6: Incident Report After the SCP-5828 researchers received and investigated the text messages found on Marianne Edenberg's phone, a report came in from the agent stationed at SCP-5828-A's location that there had been a change in the anomaly. MTF Mu-13 was dispatched to the location. Upon arrival they discovered that a corpse matching the description of Marianne Edenberg had erupted from the earth below the tree and that the weight supporting SCP-5828-A appeared to have vanished, causing SCP-5828-A to fall to the ground. Agents were still unable to move the body from its location. The body of Marianne Edenberg was able to be recovered, and was taken into Foundation custody for an autopsy. The autopsy revealed the body to be nearly perfectly preserved. The body contained severe bruising around the neck and right arm, with the right arm’s bruising appearing to match the shape of a human hand. The neck bruising was consistent with strangulation with an object that had been wrapped around the throat. The pattern of bruising implied that the primary force of the strangulation came from in front of the body, and not behind as is expected in cases of suicide by hanging. For a full autopsy report, please report to Dr. Caraway. Upon completion of the autopsy, the body was held in a Foundation morgue while agents watched for changes in SCP-5828-B activity. During this time, the body decomposed as normal. The only manifestation of SCP-5828-B recorded during this timeframe was following a television broadcast of the ongoing investigation into the missing person's case of Marianne Edenberg, and was notably less violent than standard manifestations. SCP-5828-B vocalizations recorded during this manifestation consisted solely of sobbing. After a month in Foundation care, the body was temporarily surrendered to custody of the Edenberg family alongside an autopsy report, under the cover of having been discovered by local authorities investigating Marianne's case. The family was allowed to perform a funeral and last rites with the Foundation intending to recover the body a month later while monitoring SCP-5828-B activity. Immediately following the funeral there was a manifestation of SCP-5828-B. The entire length of the manifestation was logged by the bodycam of Agent Jackson Carrington, who had been stationed at SCP-5828-A. The video's contents are transcribed below. SCP-5828 VIDEO LOG DATE: August 18th, 20██ NOTE: The following events occurred immediately following the funeral of Marianne Edenberg. [BEGIN LOG] 11:34 SCP-5828-B manifests approximately 2 meters directly in front of SCP-5828-A 11:35 SCP-5828-B approaches SCP-5828-A. The subjects grow more distant as Agent Carrington removes himself from the immediate area. Agent Carrington keeps the camera focused on the anomalies. SCP-5828-B is seen staring at SCP-5828-A for several minutes. 11:43 SCP-5828-B appears to say something, but the camera's audio fails to pick it up. Later video reviews reveal the entity to mouth something along the lines of "As long as someone knows." 11:44 SCP-5828-B removes the scarf from around SCP-5828-A's neck and drapes it across its body. SCP-5828-A appears to smile. 11:45 SCP-5828-B demanifests. SCP-5828-A appears to disintegrate into ash. [END LOG] In the month following the funeral, no further SCP-5828-B manifestations have been recorded. Per O5 council decision, the body of Marianne Edenberg is allowed to remain in the custody of the Edenberg family. The scarf has since been recovered and placed into low risk anomalous items storage. Classification of SCP-5828 to Neutralized is pending. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5828" by OriTiefling, from the SCP Wiki.

Item#: SCP-5829 Level2 Secondary Class: eparch Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: notice link to memo SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES:.Eparch-class objects are only anomalous by association. The video recorder that captured SCP-5829 has been confiscated by Foundation operative agents embedded within the University of Toronto, with all civilian individuals administered standard Class-A Amnestics. The recorder has been placed in storage in the Archives and Revision Research Section of Site-43. DESCRIPTION: SCP-5829 is the designation given to a video footage recovered from the Haliburton Forest & Wild Life Reserve, in Ontario, Canada. SCP-5829 was captured on the 5th of May, 2018, via a hidden stationary video recorder initially set up by individuals from the University of Toronto with the purpose of documenting various local wildlife on footage. SCP-5829 captures the video of two distinct possibly anomalous entities (hereafter designated as SCP-5829-A and -B) conversing amongst each other in perfect English for several seconds. Due to the position of the video recorder, it could only capture the bottom half of the entities. The following is a transcription of SCP-5829: <Begin Transcript> Footage shows a large tree branch that has fallen on the forest floor, with the camera facing a wide crystal-blue lake. In the far distance of the lake, the sun can be seen almost setting. The sound of trees rustling and loud deep footsteps becomes audible. The camera slightly shakes at this. The legs of an extremely large humanoid (SCP-5829-A) enter the frame. Shaggy dark-brown fur covers the entirety of the humanoid's leg with the exception of its bottom feet, which are observed to be almost ape-like. SCP-5829-A walks around in circles for several seconds, before seating itself upon the fallen tree branch, resulting in both its lower torso and arms becoming visible to the camera, the latter of which are also ape-like. SCP-5829-A audibly sighs, and places both of its hands to its face(?). SCP-5829-A remains seated for around thirty minutes, before another sound of trees rustling once again becomes audible. The lower body of a highly-emaciated humanoid (SCP-5829-B) enters the frame. Both of its hands can be seen to possess long sharp talon-like claws, and its feet are reminiscent of the hooves of a stag (or male deer). SCP-5829-B begins to vocalize. SCP-5829-B: Oi! Thank the gods I finally found you, you sonuvabitch. What the hell are you doing here? Though you hated this part of the woods. "Too many prying eyes", you said. SCP-5829-A: You ever realized how beautiful the lake is here? SCP-5829-B: The hell you saying? Lost your mind, is it? (chuckles) No response. SCP-5829-B: Heh. Uhhh, hey. You all right there, bud? SCP-5829-A: (sighs) Have you ever felt like you just don't… matter anymore? Like everyone else in the world has forgotten you and left you alone? Like, you used to mean something, but then along the line of your life you just… fade away. SCP-5829-B puts its hand on SCP-5829-A's shoulder, and seats next to it on the fallen branch. SCP-5829-B: Hey. What are you talking about? No one's forgotten you. I… I'm still here, right? What's gotten you so worked up? SCP-5829-A produces a crumpled piece of paper from its shaggy fur and hands it to SCP-5829-B. SCP-5829-B: What's this? SCP-5829-A: I just… I found that while walking alone on the trail last night. Reading it… it really fucked me up, y'know? Got me questioning things. About my life. SCP-5829-B: (murmurs and pauses) Damn. SCP-5829-A: Yeah, that's what I said too. SCP-5829-B: I mean… I'm sure they don't really think that. This… Y'know, this could just be a joke. SCP-5829-A: Don't you ever wonder why the bearded guys with the guns and traps never come any more? It's because of that! I'm… (sniffles) I'm not worth their time. SCP-5829-B: Hey, hey! C'mon, man. Don't be like that. If they think that, then they're the ones that are wrong. You know why? Because you're here! Right now! In front of my own eyes! C'mon, look at me, alright? Fuck them. Just… fuck all of them. We don't need them to be happy with our lives. You don't need them to be happy with your life. Okay? This? (gestures at the piece of paper) This is nothing. It doesn't define you. It doesn't define anything! So… let's just… go back to my place and have a couple of drinks, alright? Forget all this "not-matter" bullshit. SCP-5829-A: …Yeah. Yeah. You're right. (chuckles) You're always right. That shit doesn't mean nothing. Not to you. Not to me. Not to anybody. (sighs) Fuck all of 'em. Why the hell am I getting fucked up with this shit? Jesus. Those guys with beards are fucking lame anyways. (pauses) Thanks, Wend. You're… You're a good guy. I'm glad you're my friend. SCP-5829-B: Well, I don't hear that everyday do I? (clears throat) Alright, you go ahead. I gotta take a leak. SCP-5829-A: There's a thing called toilet holes, y'know? SCP-5829-B: Fuck that. I'm an old-school kinda guy. SCP-5829-A audibly laughs and stands up from the branch. It walks away out of the camera's frame, its footsteps slowly receding. SCP-5829-B also stands up, but looks back at the crystal-blue lake in front of it. It looks at the piece of paper once again. SCP-5829-B: Assholes. It crumples the paper into a ball and throws it to the lake, before also walking away out of frame. <End Transcript> Foundation operative agents investigated the location in which SCP-5829 took place, though any evidence revealing the presence of both of the entities was not able to be recovered. Despite this, Agent Griffin Clarke was able to fish out what is believed to be the piece of paper that was thrown into the lake by SCP-5829-A. The contents of the paper (in reality, a page ripped from the local daily newspaper) were partly dissolved due to water exposure, though fortunately, the main headline was able to transcribed below: NATIONAL⋆POST Haliburton County, Ontario BIGFOOT PHOTO DEBUNKED, SCIENTISTS CONFIRM EXISTENCE OF BIGFOOT STILL NOT PRESENT BY: Bennet Clarkson For months now, the good folks from the University of Toronto have been attempting to disprove the existence of the worldwide famous (or possibly infamous) cryptid known only as the "Bigfoot".

SCP-5830 | thaumiel | Item#: 5830 Level4 Secondary Class: thaumiel Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: caution link to memo Special Containment Procedures: The 15 km by 15 km region containing the entrance SCP-5830 is to be staffed by no fewer than twenty armed guards at all times carrying 12 gauge shotguns, stationed across the area to monitor any and all attempted breaches, while also maintaining sufficient distance from the entrance to SCP-5830 to not allude to its location. Admittance to the surrounding Northeast Greenland National Park is to be restricted to this end. Access to SCP-5830 is to be restricted to personnel with security clearance level 4 or higher, and is to be mediated by no fewer than one armed guard and precisely two personnel cleared to navigate SCP-5830. Due to the temporal anomalies present in SCP-5830, exploration attempts are to be limited to three days in length. The nearby research station of Daneborg is to be monitored for any attempts to explore northward toward SCP-5830; such attempts should be initially deterred and terminated if necessary. To this end, an anonymous outpost is to be erected in or near Daneborg. During the summer, similar procedures are to be enacted to deny access the area surrounding SCP-5830 via Zackenberg station1. Any person(s) which successfully enter SCP-5830 must be tracked and either detained, terminated, or verified dead by local personnel. Wildlife is to be also kept from entering SCP-5830. Any objects or person(s) which attempt to exit SCP-5830 are to be immediately detained if not authorized, or terminated should they present immediate and effective hazard to site personnel or civilians. All objects found within SCP-5830 are to be recorded for Foundation review. Description: SCP-5830 is a large glacial cave located at 7█°██’ N, 2█°██’ W along the eastern coast of Greenland. Its entrance is located beneath approximately 62 m of ice along a narrow inlet of the Arctic Ocean, being roughly semicircular with a diameter of 19 m. Meltwater from the glacier regularly runs through SCP-5830, though attempts to trace the water's flow via dissolved dyes and buoyant tracking devices have been unable to determine any point of exit. The entirety of SCP-5830 also seems immune to calving, and changes only minimally in size and relative integrity with seasonal periods of melting and freezing. When entered, SCP-5830 continues to resemble a glacial cave, with an upper dome-like wall composed entirely of ice containing fragments of dust and rock, and floor made of a brown-black mixture of gravel and silt. The temperature within SCP-5830 consistently measures -2°C, with little variation due to external temperature or depth within the cave. The initial cavern (called Depth 0 for navigational purposes) of SCP-5830 extends downward beneath the glacier, arriving at a depth of 17 m before branching into two tunnels which diverge at an angle of 120° (each of which is Depth 1). Entrance to and initial branch of SCP-5830. Each branch strongly resembles the initial cavern in size and shape, making navigation of SCP-5830 rather challenging (see Document SCP-5830-A for navigation procedures). Proceeding down either of the two branches will lead to another branch point, which again splits into two tunnels of identical size and shape; each branch then leads to another two branches, which lead to another two, and so on. Exploration attempts have confirmed the existence of all Depth 9 branches, with the furthest exploration of any single path arriving at a point at Depth 57; despite this nomenclature, however, branches of equal Depth may not be located at the same distance below sea level, with some paths actually rising above the initial cavern in altitude. The total area spanned by SCP-5830 is at least 24,000 sq. km., and the maximum recorded depth is ████ m below sea level. There exist at least seventeen paths within SCP-5830 which, amazingly, terminate; these termination points are designated SCP-5830-1, and appear as large, circular caverns measuring 10-20 m in diameter. No further tunnels or crevices extend from these caverns, and meltwater which would accumulate at these points appears to completely seep into the gravel and silt floor, unable to be traced. It also appears time does not pass within the confines of SCP-5830-1, at least not in the usual sense; instruments which rely on mechanical or natural means to determine the passing of time stand still, and attempts at radio communication to external sources fail. Personnel who enter SCP-5830-1, however, are able to keep time by counting aloud, tapping, or other similar means. Among the known instances of SCP-5830-1, seven are entirely empty and devoid of any further anomaly or artifact. The ten remaining termination points, however, contain instances of SCP-5830-2: replicas of other known SCP objects completely frozen in time and space. Each instance of SCP-5830-2 is visually indistinguishable from the anomaly which they emulate; composition, texture, radiation signatures, and even odor are furthermore identical. Attempts to interact with or stimulate response from instances of SCP-5830-2 yield no results, and specific experimentation for each instance is detail below. Each instance of SCP-5830-2 cannot be removed from the SCP-5830-1 cavern which contains it and indeed cannot be moved or relocated within the cavern by any means. SCP-5830-1-1 SCP-5830-1-2 SCP-5830-1-3 SCP-5830-1-4 SCP-5830-1-5 SCP-5830-1-6 SCP-5830-1-7 SCP-5830-1-8 SCP-5830-1-9 SCP-5830-1-10 SCP-5830-1-11 SCP-5830-1-12 SCP-5830-1-13 SCP-5830-1-14 SCP-5830-1-15 SCP-5830-1-16 SCP-5830-1-17 Navigation: LLL█████ Depth: 8 Contains: empty Navigation: LLLRL█████ Depth: 10 Contains: polar bear fur tufts; traces of seal blood Navigation: LLLRL█████ Depth: 10 Contains: SCP-5830-2-1; corpse of Daniel Moorhouse; corpse of Kuupik Inaliktuk; human feces Emulated SCP: SCP-073 Description: SCP-073 is shown sitting on the floor in grief, knees raised with its head in its hands. The mechanical augmentations to its arms, legs, spinal cord, and shoulder blades known to exist on SCP-073 do not appear, and are instead replaced by flesh and skin identical to the remainder of its body. The decay-inducing effects of SCP-073 are also present in SCP-5830-2-1 with identical capacity and radius. Navigation: LLL█████ Depth: 8 Contains: empty Navigation: LLLR█████ Depth: 9 Contains: SCP-5830-2-2 Emulated SCP: SCP-4964; single human clavicle Description: SCP-4964 appears identical to its usual state in containment, notably suspended in mid-air approximately 1 m off the ground. Due to the inability to remove SCP-5830-2-2 from SCP-5830-1-5 (or even open the container and remove the DVD), tests to determine the exhibition of identically anomalous properties to SCP-4964 cannot be conducted. Navigation: LLLR█████ Depth: 9 Contains: empty Navigation: LLLRLL█████ Depth: 11 Contains: SCP-5830-2-3 Emulated SCP: SCP-1341; traces of silty loam; organic material of unknown origin Description: SCP-1341 appears identical to its usual state in containment. Attempts to remove the lid of SCP-5830-2-3 have been unsuccessful. Navigation: LLR█████ Depth: 8 Contains: SCP-5830-2-4 Emulated SCP: SCP-1974; traces of bar soap Description: SCP-1974 appears identical to its usual state in containment. The water contained in SCP-5830-2-4 does not freeze, and when drained behaves identically to SCP-1974. Communication with SCP-1974-1 nor SCP-1974-2 (nor emulations thereof) is unsuccessful; personnel who have entered SCP-5830-2-4 instead hear an incessant droning sound akin to an American nuclear warning siren. Navigation: LLRR█████ Depth: 9 Contains: SCP-5830-2-5 Emulated SCP: SCP-172 Description: SCP-172 is shown in a near-dormant state, appearing to have just recently exhausted the energy in its mainspring. The key used to wind up SCP-172 is not present anywhere within SCP-5830-1-9 or on the body of SCP-5830-2-5, and all mechanical processes expected from SCP-172 have ceased operation. Navigation: LLRR█████ Depth: 9 Contains: SCP-5830-2-6 Emulated SCP: SCP-1281; small chunks of rock with composition akin to Kuiper Belt Objects Description: SCP-1281 is shown as it appeared when first discovered during the standard containment of SCP-2362. Lights along the surface of SCP-5830-2-6 glow steadily and faintly, and weak infrared radiation signatures have been detected. It does not, however, respond to radio waves as SCP-1281 did before its decomposition. Navigation: LLRRR█████ Depth: 10 Contains: SCP-5830-2-7 Emulated SCP: SCP-3967 Description: SCP-3967 is shown partially deflated, with the majority of its component gas concentrated in its torso and legs; its head and arms flop slightly over its back. The position gives the impression that SCP-5830-2-7 is in the process of being inflated from an unseen inlet in its rear or one of its legs. Attempts to puncture SCP-5830-2-7 have been unsuccessful. Navigation: LL█████ Depth: 7 Contains: SCP-5830-2-8 Emulated SCP: SCP-323; single caribou antler, blood Description: SCP-323 appears identical to its usual state in containment, hovering 1.8 m above the ground, with the notable exception of additional patches of flesh and skin adorning its skull; DNA testing of these organic components fails to identify the cervid of origin. The memetic effects of SCP-323 are not present to their full extent in SCP-5830-2-8; degree of severity is still being determined. Navigation: █████ Depth: 4 Contains: walrus tusk fragments Navigation: RR█████ Depth: 7 Contains: empty Navigation: ██████ Depth: 5 Contains: SCP-5830-2-9 Emulated SCP: SCP-3035 Description: Eleven instances of SCP-3035 appear on the floor of SCP-5830-1-15; they cannot be crushed or destroyed by any means. It cannot be determined if SCP-5830-2-9 exhibits the mimicry properties evident in SCP-3035 due to their lack of locomotion or response to stimuli. Navigation: RRRLLLLLLL█████ Depth: 14 Contains: Inuit spearhead Navigation: RRRLLL█████ Depth: 11 Contains: SCP-5830-2-10 Emulated SCP: SCP-294; fragments of adult human teeth; tip of a human tongue Description: SCP-294 appears identical to its usual state in containment. No cup has been dispensed or can be dispensed by SCP-5830-2-10, with instead a frozen stream of unknown liquid flowing from its nozzle and forming a small ice puddle on the ground of SCP-5830-1-17. This liquid cannot be melted, and attempts to request this liquid from SCP-294 have been unsuccessful. Attempted queries include: "liquid found in SCP-5830-1-17" (produces pure water) "liquid components of SCP-5830-2-10" (OUT OF RANGE error) "SCP-5830-2-10" (OUT OF RANGE error) "puddle found in SCP-5830-1-17" (produces water mixed with silt and sand) "object in SCP-5830-1-17" (produces human blood, chilled to 29°F) Many personnel who have studied SCP-5830 suspect that more instances of SCP-5830-1 and SCP-5830-2 can be found within the caverns, and some have conjectured that all known and unknown anomalous objects possess an emulation within SCP-5830 (though current investigations provide little support for this hypothesis, and if it were true such objects would necessarily be located at extremely great Depths). At this time, the complete inertness of instances of SCP-5830-2 cannot be fully verified. Ongoing experiments have inferred amounts of anomalous activity prior to discovery to SCP-5830 in the majority of instances. Discovery: SCP-5830 was first discovered on ██/██/20██ by Dr. Hans Knudsen and Dr. Daniel Moorhouse, both climate scientists working from ██████████ University (as visiting and associate professors, respectively) to measure ice sheet melting and calving in the far northeast of Greenland. Both Knudsen and Moorhouse joined an expedition with five additional researchers and a handful of crew from the village of Daneborg north to begin their research; nine days later, only Knudsen and four others returned. The bodies of two researchers were found near the entrance to SCP-5830 under collapsed ice. Moorhouse & a Tunumiit Inuit man were found dead in SCP-5830-1-3, with Moorhouse lain against the body of SCP-5830-2-1; Moorhouse's journal was recovered from the corpse, and a transcript of the relevant legible pages is contained in Transcript 5830-B. Addendum 0.1: Eight days after the discovery of SCP-5830, a woman suffering severe frostbite and malnutrition stormed the Daneborg airstrip during the boarding of a Danish military biplane. Dr. Knudsen, one of the passengers, was attacked by the woman, receiving minor lacerations to his left arm and shoulder before the woman was killed by Danish military personnel. The autopsy report of this woman can be found in Report 5830-E. Following this incident, Dr. Knudsen committed suicide in a Swedish jail while awaiting trial. Document 5830-A: Navigation Procedures Approved on ██/██/20██ by Dr. Wainwright On file at Site-███ Preparation Direction sheets will be given to navigators by personnel following a request by a Foundation researcher to enter SCP-5830 with an allotted time to be spent in SCP-5830. Once given directions by the appropriate personnel, immediately note its length and sequence of turns. Commit the length to memory, and say it aloud often if you must. Before departing, prepare a pack containing: no less than three days worth of food, water, and cooking fuel at least 60 m of coiled rope a sleeping bag rated for at most 20°C a tarp and four wooden stakes no less than four emergency flares two full rolls of reflective tape a pocket knife or similar multitool a progress log and a writing implement Navigation When navigating SCP-5830, always take care to note what directions you've taken and which one you have left to take. Personnel have died lost within SCP-5830 far too often due to improper record-keeping, despite the best efforts of the Foundation to maintain a simple navigational infrastructure for its study. At each branch point, find the first letter of your direction sheet not struck- or blackened-out; call out this direction to those in your party (L for left or R for right) and proceed in that direction. All branch points should have two strips of tape along some wall to identify the direction of the exit. If you encounter an unmarked branch point, act in your own accord and mark the branch with your tape. Once you have entered the next branch, strike the letter from your direction sheet and prepare to repeat the procedure again. This amounts to progressing one Depth level into SCP-5830; the entrance is at Depth 0. No amount of mental tracking of distance or altitude can assist in orienting oneself; only the maintenance of the direction sheet and your Depth along it can guarantee survival. Following the completion of the necessary research (most often at a terminus), begin navigating using the tape markings at each branch point to exit SCP-5830; do NOT attempt to move between two different locations within SCP-5830 without first exiting and re-entering the cavern. Emergencies If you have found yourself lost within SCP-5830, halt your exploration party and begin returning to the surface via the exit markings; do NOT attempt to determine and/or correct the point of error while within the cavern. If you have found yourself in a location without sufficient markings, do NOT attempt to navigate out by guesswork. Instead, drive a stake into the ground where you currently stand and tie a length of rope to it; walk in some direction while holding the rope until you either a) arrive at exit markings, at which point you may proceed to escape SCP-5830 or b) exhaust the rope. Backtrack along the rope and attempt a different path. If, even after exhausting all escape routes within your rope's allowance, you are still unable to exit SCP-5830, set up a small outpost to survive until location personnel are sent to find you and your party. In the event of injury or death, be sure to write as many details as possible about the event in your personal log. If you encounter any previously undocumented anomalous component of SCP-5830, including but not limited to an instance of SCP-5830-1 or SCP-5830-2, log its presence and location. Do not engage with any wildlife or other entities encountered in SCP-5830. Transcript 5830-B: Personal Journal of Dr. Daniel Moorhouse Page 37 Page 38 Page 39 Page 40 Page 41 Jun 15, 20██ Knudsen's gone off north to check logs from the weather station. I planned to join him, of course, but I couldn't deny my inner spelunker a chance like this. This glacial cave is quite large and doesn't seem to have been impacted too bad from the recent heat wave. A real treat. We've agreed to meet back up at the cave entrance tomorrow morning. Erica and Kuupik have joined me as well, which is nice. Kuupik's always been quiet so maybe I'll get the chance to talk with him a bit more; he's lived in Tasiilaq his whole life and knows the land better than anyone. His English isn't great, though, but who can blame him? Guy's always got a stoic look to him too. And Erica, well, she's the polar opposite most of the time. Been quiet today, though. It's actually a bit warmer in here than I would've expected. Ice is a good insulator and all but the warmth is almost unnatural. Might be due to geothermic activity. I'll ask Knudsen if Zackenberg picked up on anything seismic. To be frank, I am a bit disappointed I couldn't convince him to join us. Apparently being ahead of schedule isn't enough to justify popping off into a cave for the day. To each his own. He insisted I enjoy the day. Jun 15, 20██ We've set up a small camp about a mile into the cave. We've run into three different forks in the tunnels along the way. Pretty strange, actually, since a lot of the cave walls look very similar. If you took photos of three different spots and told me two of them of were the same I'd probably believe it. I would have guessed some more variation in the caverns and such, but I can't say that these "ice tubes" aren't cool either. Kuupik's been whittling some kind of spear thing for a while now. I've tried to make some small talk, but he doesn't give much by way of answers. Erica's already asleep, and I can't say I don't enjoy the tranquility. More time to write, think to myself. Just me and the water dripping from the ceiling. Hell, I wouldn't even know if there's a blizzard storming outside right now. Probably is given Knudsen's luck the past few days. Jun 15, 20██ Erica woke up all of a sudden. Had her head up near the wall and said she heard some sort of rattling, like a stone sliding on ice. I'd've said it were nothing to worry about if the same sound didn't echo again right after. Kuupik looked worried too, and without speaking he started to pack up what little we sprawled out. Strangely Erica and I didn't think twice to helping him do so and get moving. I don't know what is about this place that has me spooked. I might just be jittery about heading home; ship back to Tromsø leaves in four days. Jun 16, 20██ We're holed up even deeper now; I'm not sure how far down. We were trying to make our way out when Kuupik spotted a streak of blood smeared on the ice wall. I didn't think much of it, maybe a polar bear that brought a fresh kill in to eat, but he seemed far more squeamish than would be warranted. Erica was shocked too, but insisted we press on. Something about it didn't sit well with Kuupik, but he either couldn't or chose not to really tell us what it was. Jun 16, 20██ We came to the next branch, and the lantern went out. I fumbled for my back-up flashlight, and in mean time Kuupik struck a match on his belt. We get re-situated and suddenly we're all turned around. Any of the three ways looked viable, at least to me. Erica was sure we had to head uphill, but Kuupik reminded us we had actually gone up quite a bit to get to where we were. I seconded Erica, though, and I'm pretty sure that was the wrong move. We passed blood again, but not the same smear. That weird rattling still echoes down here, if not a bit louder too. I've gotten used to it, but it keeps Kuupik up. I don't know if Erica is asleep or just exhausted; probably both. Morale isn't great, and I'm not doing anything to help it, really. Jun 16, 20██ We still haven't moved, and the rattling hasn't stopped. It's a bit rhythmic, actually, in a strange sort of way. Kuupik has started humming what sounds like a folk song of his to it. Beyond old winter's heart And the passing of the moon Where Sedna treads her hands Where Sedna treads her kin Deep within the stone And the edge of water's flow Where Anguta will walk Where Anguta will end I know a place of old That stands eternally Where spirits stand alone Where spirits go to sleep There's some Inuit in there too, but I can't transcribe it, so I'm going to hope the English lines are just the Inuit translated or something. Jun 16, 20██ Erica is gone. There must have been some short hour where Kuupik and I were both asleep and she fled. I don't like her odds of making it out, but they can't much be different from my own at this point. Kuupik's keeping calm enough, even though we ran out of food last night. We've both agreed to stay put and hope that Erica makes it out and sends help or Knudsen does after he realizes we haven't returned. I'll be honest, I really getting nervous now. Panicking is obviously still the worst thing to do right now, but it's hard not too when you're lost in an ice cave with traces of blood on the walls. Not a situation I would have ever expected to find myself in, even after my first Arctic expedition. Or my second, or third. I hope Knudsen and the rest of the crew are doing alright. Forecast said we'd get hit by a sizable blizzard on the return to Daneborg. Jun 17?, 20██ Kuupik is dead, and I might be dying. We heard the rattling get close, real close, almost on top of us. Kuupik wasn't having any of it and started down the tunnel, not stopping even after I called. I had to follow, and he led us both into a dead end. Giant cavern, at least 50 ft. tall and wide, and the both of us nearly fainted when we arrived. There's this "man" sitting in the middle of it, but I don't really want to call it a man. It sure looks like one, specifically Middle-Eastern of some kind, but it doesn't move. It just sits with its head down in its hand; I thought it was someone crying at first, but it makes no noise either. Kuupik wanted to kill it. He said we could eat it, whatever it was, and last a bit longer. It was truly uncharacteristic of him, a mellow and well-mannered man. Hunger does strange things to people, and in the moment I more or less agreed. Kuupik unsheathed a knife; its handle looked hand-carved. He crept up behind the man, but of course it didn't move. He lunged in to stab its back, only to suddenly collapse onto the floor. When I got to him, he was already dead. It looked like his own back had been stabbed right where he aimed on the man still sitting on the floor. I can't explain it. I don't want to. Jun 19?, 20██ Its bones that are rattling. Bones. They creep along the floor, and I don't know how. I'm seeing things. I must be. I don't see them, but I do. Things that aren't real. Well, are they? This thing can't be real, and it killed Kuupik. No, no, my eyes see things. Real things. Jun 20?, 20██ I'm sorry Kuupik. This is all my fault, I know it is. Maybe you didn't care that it was my fault, but it was. Knudsen isn't coming. Nobody is. Just this thing behind me. Jun 23?, 20██ If there be a God, let him be merciful. This place was not merciful to me. Interview Log 5830-C: Interview with Dr. Hans Knudsen -Begin interview- Dr. Wainwright: Dr. Knudsen. Dr. Hans Knudsen: Yes. Wainwright: How are you feeling? Knudsen: Tired. Very tired. Wainwright: Apologies, doctor. We'd like to tidy up this whole fiasco quickly, if you can understand. Knudsen: Yes, of course. Wainwright: Let's start from the beginning, then. When did you arr… Knudsen: May 29th. We came from Tromsø, with another crew that stopped off in Reykjavik. Wainwright: And who all were members of your crew? Knudsen: It was Moorhouse's crew, really. He organized the expedition back in March. Wainwright: And who… Knudsen: Five research assistants from ██████████ University; two of them my students, three of them Moorhouse's. We had an additional three crew members from Zackenburg station, and one local from Daneborg to serve as a navigator and translator. Wainwright: How do you know Dr. Moorhouse? Knudsen: Professional colleague, though I've known him since graduate school. We both studied at ███████ College and went on to pursue academic positions in the States. He got a spot at ██████████, while I had to settle for a position in Sweden. We met up again when ██████████ invited me as a visiting professor. Nice guy, though a bit…pretentious at times. Wainwright: You took up some students during this time. Who were they? Knudsen: Erica Parsons and Alek Oltosky. Wainwright: Do you know Moorhouse's students? Knudsen: Yes, though not well. Kevin Zheng, David Carlisle, and Victoria… oh, I don't remember her last name. There is a pause Knudsen continues to try to remember the name. Wainwright: That's fine. Can you talk about what happened after arriving at Daneborg? Knudsen: Yes. We made a small station just outside of Daneborg; the locals didn't really care for us but didn't mind us either. We told them what we were there to do through a man called Kuupik, and they lent us some supplies and a shotgun for polar bears. Wainright: What were you there to do? Knudsen: The original goal was to set up some weather stations up north to track warming over the next six months and collect some ice samples. Wainwright: Your 'original' goal? Knudsen: Well, we still succeeded in it, for the most part. Some of the stations got knocked out by a blizzard, but for the most part we did what we needed to do. Wainwright: So why do you say… Knudsen: Moorhouse insisted on some additional studies. We saw signs of massive calving in the area, and lots of glacial caves and alcoves and such. Moorhouse is a geologist at heart and was adamant that we dedicate at least a bit of our extra time to them. Wainwright: Did you? Knudsen: Yes, of course. Moorhouse led a few parties with Erica and David to examine some rock samples along the glacial cliffs. Erica's primary background is geology too, and I would guess David's as well. I kept the others for our usual operations. Wainwright: How did Moorhouse come to arrive at…that cave? Knudsen: We both spotted it on one of our last days out of Daneborg. We stopped by it to look around, and saw that it was rather large. We all took a look around the entrance, and Moorhouse said he'd love to spend a day or two here if it could be allowed. Erica agreed. Wainwright: And I take it you obliged? Knudsen: Yes. I asked Kuupik if he could join them in case they needed to navigate back to Daneborg on their own, and he agreed. The three of them set out and the rest of us went to secure the last weather station. We gave them from that morning until we returned the evening tomorrow. I think it was a bit of a non-professional adventure for them, too. Wainwright: Did you want to join them? Knudsen: Yes, a part of me did…more parts of me are glad that I didn't. Knudsen's speech begins to sound more forced and creaky. Wainwright: What happened when you returned to the cave? Knudsen: We waited. We hoped they were making their way out. David insisted on looking in a bit farther to find them, or maybe a trace of them. Victoria followed him in, and Alek and Kevin and the rest of the crew and myself elected to stay outside. I told David before he went searching to call out to us every few minutes, and we'd call a reply. If we weren't in earshot, turn around. Wainwright: Seems sensible. Knudsen: It is if you obey it. They didn't. After half an hour, I called and received no reply. We tried six more times with no luck. None of us were about to do the same thing again and go in after David and Victoria, so we continued to wait. Wainwright: For how long? Knudsen: Three hours, until a blizzard began to roll in. We couldn't keep waiting around, and we weren't about to hole up in a cave and worry the crew back in Daneborg. We elected to trek out, and work to form a search party later when the weather was in our favor. Wainwright: When did the search party set out? Knudsen: The Sirius Patrol2 set out with their dog sleds two days ago. You and your crew showed up only five hours in. Wainwright: Lucky that we did at all. Knudsen: I suppose. There is a pause as Wainwright reviews his recent notes. Wainwright: Dr. Knudsen, if I might be so frank, I do believe your handling of the past three days is best described as 'careless'. We've only recovered corpses, after all. Knudsen: Are you a police officer, Dr. Wainwright? Wainwright: No. I do, however, have permission from authorities from the Danish government and Naalakkersuisut3 to conduct all sufficient methods of investigations during my time here. Four scientists and an Inuit tracker don't just die only miles from their station, especially with radio tracking available the entire time. Knudsen: Not to be insolent, doctor, but our GPS capabilities were interrupted during the trip back to Daneborg. We probably hiked about five miles while off the grid. Wainwright: Records from Zackenberg show otherwise. Knudsen is silent, appears nervous Wainwright: Doctor? Knudsen attempts to run from the room, is immediately apprehended in the hallway. -End of interview- Transcript SCP-5830-D: Selected Radio Logs from Zackenberg Station 0301:03 Feb 13, 20██ *static* Cannot see home.

Image Credit: See comments. ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Cyvstvi The Smeerenburg Daemon by Cyvstvi More by this author Item#: 5831 Level3 Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: warning link to memo Special Containment Procedures: A 5km nautical exclusion zone has been established around the ruins of Smeerenburg, Norway. Additionally, a fenced perimeter has been erected around the ruins and access to the village is forbidden to civilians. Cover Story 5831.18 "Hazardous Waste Disaster" is currently being disseminated to local and national media, reporting that an oil spill has occurred within the unincorporated region of Svalbard. MTF Omega-15 "Bag and Tag" has been given permission to locate instances of SCP-5831-1 and terminate them as appropriate to prevent them from entering the ocean. Description: SCP-5831 is the rudimentary effigy of an unknown cetacean, constructed almost entirely from the blubber, bones, flesh, and assorted viscera of dead Balaena mysticetus.1 The head cavity of SCP-5831, which would ordinarily contain the spermaceti organ in Balaena mysticetus, has been filled with an organ of unknown origin. This unidentified organ is attached to the spinal column of SCP-5831 and resembles a coiled umbilical cord. SCP-5831 was discovered in an abandoned whaling warehouse in Smeerenburg, Norway. The effigy was strung vertically from the ceiling, surrounded by a plethora of unidentified miscellaneous whale carcasses. Individuals who are exposed to SCP-5831 exhibit an abnormal psychological disorder characterised by an obsession with the ocean and vast, open bodies of water. Due to SCP-5831's proximity to the Arctic Ocean, affected individuals will typically gather at the cliffs north of Smeerenburg and stare listlessly at the ocean, remaining motionless for hours at a time. During this period, the brains of affected individuals will undergo severe morphological changes as spiral-shaped holes begin to form within the frontal lobe. This damage to the brain's structure results in the impairment of mental faculties with affected individuals only being able to complete simple self-preservation behaviours such as swallowing and breathing. Following the complete structural degradation of the brain, affected individuals will begin roaming the shoreline of Smeerenburg in an attempt to locate cetacean remains. Upon locating sufficient material, the affected individuals will begin to construct whale-like imagery. These images range in complexity, with personnel witnessing anything from simple images of cetacean wildlife made from whale bones to effigies resembling SCP-5831.2 If no cetacean remains can be found by affected individuals, they will begin to draw perfect spiral shapes into the beach using their hands and feet. At this point, the brain matter of affected individuals will have been completely eradicated. The resultant cavity is filled with a coiled organ of unknown purpose attached to the individual's brain stem. Affected individuals are henceforth designated SCP-5831-1. Instances of SCP-5831-1 will undergo a series of rapid morphological and physiological alterations: The lower and upper jaws will elongate wildly, curving to almost meet one another, as the remainder of the cranium recedes from the jaw. The orbital cavities and eyes will migrate to either side of this deformed cranial structure. The shoulder girdle will extend as the humerus, ulna, and radius rotate perpendicular to the body. The skin covering the hands will thicken as the fingers fuse into a set of fins. The spinal column will extend, fusing with the pelvis, fibula, patel, and tibia into a singular bone structure. The feet of the instance will also rotate perpendicular to one another as they are covered with a similarly thick skin. The entire instance will become covered with a layer of thick insulated skin as the fat tissue underneath morphs into a vascularised adipose tissue similar to blubber. The pulmonary system will migrate from the mouth to the back as a small blowhole-like formation begins to appear on their dorsal side. The teeth of SCP-5831-1 will separate from the gums, producing strand-like formations that resemble hairs of baleen.3 These hairs will fuse with the roof and floor of the mouth, which have become plates of calcium. The head cavity of the instance, normally containing the brain and spermaceti organ, will have been filled with a coiled organ resembling the one present within SCP-5831. Its purpose remains unknown. Many of the resultant instances of SCP-5831-1 will become stranded and beached upon the shoreline, finding themselves unable to enter the ocean. They will typically expire as a result of dehydration, collapsing under their own body weight, or drowning at high tide. Foundation personnel are reminded that instances of SCP-5831-1 must not be allowed to enter the ocean under any circumstances and, as such, are advised to terminate instances on sight. Addendum 5831.1: History Fig 1.1:The Whale-oil Refinery near the Village of Smerenburg, Cornelis de Man, 1639. Smeerenburg was established in the early 17th century by Danish and Dutch whaling fisheries, hoping to exploit the rapidly expanding whaling industry. The main products of Smeerenburg were boiled blubber oil, whale bone, spermaceti oil, and other miscellaneous whale commodities harvested from the "Greenland right whale", now identified as the bowhead whale. At the time, these animals were endemic to the Fram Strait, located in the Arctic Ocean. By the mid-17th century, the whaling community at Smeerenburg had driven the bowhead whale into near extinction, prompting their migration habits further north. This eventually resulted in the bowhead whale entirely avoiding the island of Svalbard, which Smeerenburg was situated on. The settlement was almost completely abandoned sometime during this time period. It is believed that SCP-5831 was constructed by the final inhabitants of the community, c. 1660s. A series of documents, written in Dutch, were recovered from the island during initial containment efforts. They were located on a flensing table next to SCP-5831, stained with an unidentified yellow residue. Diary of an Unknown Whaler July 6th, 1662 The whales are fleeing. Everybody on this blasted island knows the truth of it. Well, the fifteen of us that chose to stay here. We were planning on wintering on Svalbard and catching a few whales for ourselves; proving to everyone back home in Amsterdam that there's a life worth living out here. I ain't seen a whale in weeks. Our last catch was back in June. A sickly calf that had beached itself beside the try pots, struggling and rolling about in a desperate attempt to get back into the sea. We were starving and ravenous and so we descended upon the diseased whale like it was the last meal we were like to see in a long while. How right we were. The little lad has lasted a good while for us. Cornelis cured some of the remaining meat and hung it out to dry in the warehouse just south of the cliffs. My mouth gets wet every time I walk by its dry, rotting corpse. I find myself pacing back and forth by the shore more often these days; catching its acrid scent wafting on the frigid winds of Svalbard. I need to get out more. July 13th, 1662 Blessed Christ, how you deliver a bountiful feast to us in our direst hour. Willem and Jan were out on the boat and I spotted their signal flags waving high about on the masts. I rushed down to shore, hardly a moment to grab by weathered boots, as they hauled their catch ashore. It was like something had crawled off Olaus Magnus's cartographs - a bloody monster. The beast, undulating and smooth of skin, had an assortment of wriggling vestibule limbs all about its torso that were snared within the netting of the boat. Thrashing and slamming against the tiny trawler, it nearly upturned the small sailboat. Willem held a harpoon in one arm and flung it down into what can only be described as the beast's head. It squealed, much like a pig in pain, as it swung its head about to smash into the trawler's side. Jan then descended onto the thing as they hauled it ashore, still entangled within the netting, and cracked his paddle against the harpoon, driving it deeper into the skull with a sickening crunch. A milky, pale liquid seeped out of the wound as the beast ceased all movement. I rushed over to help Jan and Willem down from the trawler as the other men of the community ran over to us; desperate to understand what the tumult and chaos was about. Jan collapsed to the floor in a fit of laughter, prompting quizzical looks from all onlookers, myself included. He looked up at us and smiled, before pronouncing: 'I killed the Devil himself, lads.' July 14th, 1662 Jan and Willem have taken to bed, complaining of headaches and nausea. Pieter was busy nursing them with gruel and soup, but their constant complaining soon drove him from their bedsides. Meanwhile, the rest of us set about carving what has become known amongst the men as the Smeerenburg Daemon. A fitting name - for Maarten swears on his mother's gravestone that as they began to take the creature apart, he saw something squirm free from its skull and dart off into the ocean. Its flesh is pale and white like an oyster's and it bleeds a pale milky substance with the consistency of winter-strained sperm oil. One of the lads dared the other to put his finger in its skull cavity but Maarten quickly swatted his hand back. He doesn't trust the Daemon and I cannot say that I blame him. Tomorrow, we'll set off for the mainland and haul part of the Smeerenburg Daemon with us so we can show the whole world that Smeerenburg is still worth its weight in coin. July 15th, 1662 I fear a great malaise has struck Smeerenburg. Five lads including Maarten now sit in their beds, complaining of vigorous headaches and the sloshing sounds of a half-filled bucket of water rocking about inside their mind. Jan and Willem are struck with it worst. They sit at the cliffs, their legs dangling above the ocean, as they stare out over the sea without a single care in the world. I've been wandering more and more by the seashore, mostly to get away from the ghastly aroma of that blasted Daemon that now resides within the warehouse. Its scent combines with the rotting flesh of the little whale calf to create a most unpleasant smell that burns the back of your throat with bile. The ocean is so pleasant tonight. Not a single wave mars its perfect surface. Still and beautiful. July 17th, 1662 Willem, Maarten, Jan, and the other lads have gone mad. This disease has seeped through the air and into their minds. They now prowl the shores, gathering lumps of meat, bones, and blubber oil, and dragging it in buckets and wheelbarrows up to the warehouse that houses that Daemon. At night, I can hear them flensing and prying the poor beast into pieces. Bones snap and flesh tears as I rock myself to sleep in the hammock. Their work is unceasing and diligent. When I sleep, my mind is stolen from me. I hear only the sounds of the tide as a vast darkness consumes me, dragging me down and down into the ocean. I feel myself coiling tighter and tighter, catching glimpses of something in the murk. I feel so small as I'm trapped inside crude decaying flesh and broken bones that were forced into a new shape. My days are just as unsteady. I feel tugged towards the shore as if swallowed by a great emptiness. An in-transient loneliness. I should go see what my friends are doing. [unintelligible scribbles] Cold. Wet. Moist. My body hurts: my jaw aches and my head feels light. I cannot find the others. The warehouse is empty besides bits of rotting and decrepit whales and that monster hanging from the ceiling. Its mouth is curved in all the wrong places. They've done a horrible job at creating the whale. They? My head aches - something numb fills my head but then my mind coils and curls in all the wrong places. My stomach feels empty and my teeth hurt so much. The ocean. I need to go to the ocean. Footnotes 1. Also known as the bowhead whale. 2. These effigies are non-anomalous. 3.

SCP-5832 | safe | Item #: SCP-5832 Special Containment Procedures: A Foundation front company has purchased the building containing SCP-5832 and falsely classified it as condemned to discourage trespassing. A single guard is to be stationed on-location to ensure security. The entrance to SCP-5832 is to be monitored via remote surveillance. Description: SCP-5832 is an apartment consisting of a hallway with two opposing rooms at its end. Those who enter the area are entirely unable to vocalize. Other deliberately-generated forms of noise like clapping or playing an instrument are possible, and other sounds are not affected. Evidence suggests that the anomaly was at one time inhabited, though the apartment seems not to have been entered for at least two years. A small metal placard under the apartment number reads “Department of Abnormalities.” The leftmost room appears to be a child’s bedroom, painted pink. The paint has no anomalous properties, but contains dangerous amounts of lead and has peeled heavily. The contents of the leftmost room are listed below: A 16-pack of Crayola crayons and a Disney Princess activity book. All images of Prince Adam (from Beauty and the Beast) have been colored over and scratched out in red. The red crayon has not otherwise been used. A Webkinz plush black labrador retriever. In several places, fur is crusted over with an unidentified substance. A Nintendo DS and a cartridge for Animal Crossing: Wild World. The game was functional in all aspects save that when an NPC was engaged in conversation, no dialogue would appear in the resulting bubble. The player character’s personal commentary on achievements or actions was also missing. Other text was not affected. Based on the presence of certain time-locked features in the game, it had been played continuously for at least nine months. A white wooden dresser. Contents of the dresser include a charm bracelet with one attached charm resembling a birthday cake with seven candles. Also found inside were several opened and partly emptied packages of Pull-ups disposable training pants, and three identical Disney princess t-shirts in a child’s medium size. All three shirts are heavily stained. The rightmost room is a small bathroom with linoleum flooring. It contains a pink toothbrush and a tube of Crest children’s toothpaste, as well as a plastic “booster” stool under the toilet seat. No toilet paper or other hygiene products are present. There is a large crack in the bathtub’s sealant. The sink and bathtub faucet are functional and non-anomalous. Water samples taken from the toilet reveal trace amounts of amniotic fluid. These traces persist despite multiple flushes. A plastic cup sits on the bathroom counter. The contents have congealed, but chemical analysis revealed it to be a mixture of apple juice and mifepristone. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5832" by AbsentmindedNihilist, from the SCP Wiki.
