SCP-923 | uncontained | Item #: SCP-923 Special Containment Procedures: None. SCP-923 is currently in orbit at an altitude of ███ km. This, combined with its automated defenses, makes retrieval impossible. SCP-923 reports that it has no control over its defense mechanisms. As such, it cannot be contained in the traditional sense. Instead, care must be taken to make sure no other satellites enter SCP-923’s path, as further damage to the object could cause catastrophic results. Furthermore, its defense mechanisms destroying another satellite would display its anomalous nature, and destroy the cover story of a military spy satellite. Since the object ignores all queries and instructions that lack O5-level authorization, termination of the object has been suspended until it becomes unusable. Description: SCP-923 is a satellite that includes a large, parabolic dish constructed of unknown alloys. The object is also equipped with a ███████ reactor, which satisfies the power needs of its "firing mechanism." It is unclear how SCP-923 generates the effects of firing on a target, but tests have shown that subjects placed between SCP-923 and its target are unaffected. Much of the information about SCP-923 has been gathered from SCP-923 itself. The object reports that it was constructed by the Foundation at Site ██, which was planned to be constructed in ████████, ██, but cancelled due to logistical concerns. SCP-923 is not to be informed of this under any circumstances. The object is semi-sentient and capable of basic deductions, but appears to use this ability solely for information queries. SCP-923 first came to the Foundation's knowledge on ██/██/██ when it started reporting back "successful termination" messages from various points around the globe on the O5 secured information relay system. These reports continued over the course of █ hours, totalling 57 terminations around the globe at intensities between ██ and ███. 55 of these deaths have been confirmed since the original incident. To access the list of terminated individuals, see Document 923-0014-K. The Foundation has been unable to determine how SCP-923 gained access to the O5 secured information relay system. Adjustments have been made to prevent SCP-923 from gathering any information on that system unless it is meant specifically for SCP-923. SCP-923 is capable of rapidly shifting its orbit in order to reach a target quickly. When given O5-level authorization, the object will accept firing orders. It requires standard GPS coordinates, altitude, a time, and an integer value for the intensity. An experiment log for determining what the numbers mean has been included. Special permission has been granted to keep some D-Class personnel alive beyond the normal expiration date for the purpose of study. Intensity: 10 Response: Error reported by SCP-923 stating that it was incapable of firing at an intensity lower than 23. Intensity: 25 Response: Subjects reported hearing voices, interacting with people not present, overwhelming paranoia, compulsions to harm others, and terror. Interviews with affected subjects reported strong feelings of 'being watched,' though they were unable to elaborate further. Time until recovery: 15-19 days. Note from Dr. ████: In order to better examine the phenomena caused by SCP 923, several recording devices were placed next to the target. Intensity: 35 Response: Similar to intensity 25, but with the subjects also reported compulsions to harm themselves, constant suicidal thoughts. Researchers within 10 meters of the target reported having panic attacks. Time until recovery: 6-8 months. Video and data feeds: All visual and audio feeds were lost during the test fire, and several recording devices seemed to have been shifted up to 10 centimeters from their initial placement. One device seemed to have been adhered strongly to the floor during testing. Recovered video feeds show heavy damage, consistent with [DATA EXPUNGED]. Audio feeds record nothing out of the ordinary, but when presented to affected researchers or subjects, feelings of dread or suicidal thoughts return. Furthermore, affected subjects also claim that the audio feed matches the voices heard, and become increasingly agitated when told the feed contains random static. Note from Dr. ████: It looks like this thing actually has a blast effect to it and is not just a laser of madness. The audio and video feed disruptions are particularly interesting. From now on, researchers are to observe remotely and D-Class personnel are to be secured so they can't harm themselves. We need them alive for study. Intensity: 50 Response: Identical to the above test. Time until recovery: Subjects have not recovered. Restrained subjects somehow caused self-injury, as tears and cuts were found in their skin, despite still being in full-body restraints. Observers did not see anyone else enter or leave the testing area, nor did they see the D-Class test subjects escape their bonds. How they managed to injure themselves is still unknown. Video and Data Feeds: Identical to above test, though the displacement was more pronounced. Additional note: Researchers recovering the Class D personnel reported extreme discomfort when within the test area, and that it "felt wrong," but could provide no further details. This suggests some sort of lingering after-effect, though no other changes have been observed. Perhaps higher level settings will reveal more. Intensity: 75 Response: Target went completely catatonic. A number of D-Class personnel within 15 meters of the target were able to break free of their restraints and proceeded to kill all D-Class personnel they could see by [DATA EXPUNGED] with their teeth before eventually turned on each other. Subjects up to 50 meters away reported panic attacks lasting up to one hour. All D-Class personnel showed lacerations along their legs and arms, the cause of which is unknown. No bladed weapons were recovered, and wounds do not match damage caused by teeth or fingernails. Video and Data Feeds: As above, some devices were missing after the test. Video and data feeds caused extreme distress in those who had experienced the panic attacks. Additional note: As before, researchers entering the area reported extreme discomfort, with a few experiencing mild panic attacks while surveying the landscape, and reported hearing whispers and voices, movement in the corners of their vision, other symptoms. These symptoms were markedly similar to those of an intensity 25 blast, but much more muted. Minor reports of anomalous activity, including ‘poltergeist activity’ (objects moving of their own accord) were reported, though none were caught on video camera. Laser rangefinders show that there is now a permanent, mild spatial distortion at the center of the blast site. Site is currently slated for testing the long-term after-effects of 923 on an area, and the effects of those living at the blast site. Note from Dr. ████: This is crossing the line from scientific to just barbaric. SCP-923 has said that its maximum output is 238, which it promptly converts to "keter" intensity. Lets just see what this does and report our findings. Intensity: Keter Response: It is strongly advised that this intensity never be used again. In addition to causing permanent psychosis in all subjects in a 2 kilometer radius around the target, surveillance equipment at the epicenter observed the materialization of [DATA EXPUNGED], which dissipated after ██ minutes. The site, located at ██°██'██", -██°██'██", is now designated as SCP-923-02, due to the permanent effects to the landscape at and surrounding the epicenter, and is to be quarantined with standard containment procedures. Subjects attempting to reach the epicenter experience greater and greater feelings of panic, beginning at a distance of ███ meters, eventually resulting in psychosis similar to the lower intensity tests. Post-incident investigation of the site has revealed spatial and temporal disturbances consistent with [DATA EXPUNGED]. Due to [DATA EXPUNGED] and the damage done to ground-zero, SCP-923 is currently undergoing O5 review for its potential to cause an XK-Class event. Additional note: While more than half of the equipment was lost in this experiment, one of the surveillance devices lost at the Intensity: 75 firing was recovered after this test. It was heavily damaged and barely functional. Efforts to recover data from this device are ongoing. Addendum: Firing SCP-923 causes some internal damage, resulting in the minimum intensity it can fire at increasing. SCP-923's internal diagnostics report that it can no longer fire at an intensity below 66. It is strongly recommended that the object not be used for anything that it isn't absolutely required for. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-923" by Lat Ware, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-924 | esoteric-class | NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION The following documentation was recovered from a previously-undiscovered material cache linked to an Alpha Command field cell active in Newfoundland from 1973-1975. It is presented here decrypted but otherwise unedited. The entity's remains have not been located. DESIGNATION GLACIER RAMPANT SANGUINE CANTO PALACE ALPHA MU EPSILON 9-3-5-1-1-1-3-4-9-2-4 BEGIN Emaciated macrocephalic humanoid. Blue-black coloration due to full-body frostbite. Skull trepanned repeatedly in spiral pattern centered on left parietal eminence. Exudes luminous smoke (gold-orange to orange-red in coloration) from trepanation sites and mouth. Eyes removed; unclear if injury was self-inflicted. Interviews with Inuit population indicate no pre-existing cultural knowledge of subject. Air Force contact at Thule Base believes Soviets involved (unlikely), provided radio transmissions of heavily distorted voice received three hours before disappearance of Specialist Lewis. Contact made 04.JAN 35 km northeast of Qaanaaq. Remains of all three known victims found at contact site. All victims flensed and gutted via stone knife; skulls smashed by blunt force trauma. Victims laid on their backs, facing up. Eyes removed from all. No sign of consumption, ruling out predatory behavior. Triangular arrangement of bodies at contact site indicates potential ritual intent. Repeated vocalizations during encounter potential sign of mimicry of human speech. State of sapience unclear: Presence of ideological motivation unconfirmed. Subject terminated at contact site by GAWAIN and PERCIVAL. GALAHAD injured by subject, stabilized on-site. Victims' bodies disposed of on-site. Cover story of diseased bear provided to Thule Base personnel. Knife, tapes, and remains of subject recovered for processing and storage. END Review Board Memo 10.JUN.1992 924-AD-029G Dr. Eli Langstrom, auditor SUBJECT: Research audit of Non-Anomalous Item of Interest 13429 for purposes of potential reclassification. SUMMARY: The contents of this report align with the following material evidence: Non-Anomalous Item-of-Interest 12877 The description of the GLACIER RAMPANT entity is similar to the skeletal remains of three humans discovered on Svalbard in July of 1989.These remains have been dated to approximately 1100 CE, predating the first known human habitation of Svalbard by 500 years. , all of whom bore signs of macrocephaly and had been repeatedly trepanned. No grave goods were present at the site, save the following: Stone knife engraved with seven-pointed star Slate tablet etched with seven-pointed star, surrounded by spiral dot pattern. In both star icons, five of the seven arms were filled in. Significance unknown. Non-Anomalous Item-of-Interest 12005 While the document-writer claims connections between GLACIER RAMPANT to GRU-P are unlikely, partial records confiscated during Operation REDSKY describe experiments carried out upon thaumaturgically-sensitive members of the Chukchi people wherein the subjects were forced to participate in a specific thaumaturgic ritual. The ritual is described as a communicative trance with unknown non-corporeal entities, during which the practitioner's breath will be rendered as glowing orange fog for the course of the channeling. The GRU-P documentation includes neither the precis nor the conclusion of the experiments, and so it is unknown how much GRU-P understood of the phenomenon or if there was any awareness of connections to other anomalies. Likewise, it is unknown if meaningful communication was made with the target entities, if any exist. Non-Anomalous Item-of-Interest 13430 Finally, the reel-to-reel tape recovered alongside document GLACIER RAMPANT is likely the recording described in the report. Degradation of the tape from improper storage has rendered all but a total of 1 minute 36 seconds unusable. The usable tape is dominated by a voice repeating words and sentence fragments with no apparent pattern. These fragments have been compiled into the following statement, translated from Danish: <Let’s get you out of that flesh, brother. You can’t reach the stars without flying too close to the sun.> CONCLUSION: Viewed as a whole, there is sufficient cause among the aforementioned material evidence to presume linkage between them. As such, the Review Board hereby authorizes the usage of designation SCP-924 for the entity described, all additional specimens of the type, related material evidence, and any further related discoveries. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-924" by Djoric, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-925 | euclid | Item #: SCP-925 Special Containment Procedures: Specimens of SCP-925 are to be kept in individual standard 5 meter by 5 meter steel cells. Twice a day, 285g of various fungi are to be pushed through a door slot and into the cell using the provided pole. Personnel transporting SCP-925 specimens are to wear steel mesh suits underneath Level D HAZMAT equipment. Should Level 0 personnel and above physically contact a specimen without the aforementioned equipment, a class B amnestic is to be administered, followed by transfer to another project. Class D personnel are to be terminated. Description: Physically, the species SCP-925 appears near-identical to a male human. Mentally, SCP-925 who have cooperated exhibit behavior associated with acute disassociation and fatigue. Personnel interacting with a specimen report that it seems "normal, but slow, acting as if inebriated or impaired." This seems to be deliberate on the specimen's part, in order to be dismissed by those surrounding it, allowing it to close on potential victims. SCP-925 specimens appear to be intersex. Specimens in confinement refuse to reproduce, and the act has yet to be observed in the wild. When a SCP-925 specimen makes physical contact with a human, the victim will become more sympathetic to the specimen. If physical contact is maintained for more than 3-5 minutes, the affected human will become completely devoted to the specimen. Once a specimen has gathered between 10 and 30 followers, it will lead them to a distant, secluded area. Any attempt to interact with or stop the group will be met with violence. Once the group has arrived, the followers will begin digging downwards, starting with a tunnel and gradually widening it out into a cavern as the group digs deeper. Once the cavern is finished, the followers will search the nearby area for materials to use as fertilizer, then grow mushrooms in the cavern, eating as little as possible to stay alive. Followers who die due to exhaustion and malnutrition will also be used as fertilizer. SCP-925 will gorge itself on mushrooms whenever a crop is ready for harvest. Once most of the followers have been worked to death, the specimen will leave the cavern, gather approximately twice the previous number of followers, and return, using the new followers to construct additional caverns, and grow more mushrooms in each cavern. This process will be repeated every time a significant portion of the followers die. Currently, 13 specimens are contained, designated SCP-925-1 through SCP-925-13. Specimens have been captured in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. These specimens were all found within 30 miles of large population centers. Each specimen was living in a large cavern system with between 20 and 35 caverns. Addendum: Test 01 SCP-925-D-1 was informed of SCP-925's behavior, and told there was a way to reverse the effects. SCP-925-D-1 was subject to a preliminary interview, then exposed to SCP-925 for fifteen seconds. A second interview was performed; subject was then exposed to SCP-925 for five minutes. After retrieval, a third and final interview was carried out. Baseline Interview Dr. ██████: What is your opinion on SCP-925? SCP-925-D-1: I don't know, guy. It seems pretty fucked up. Dr. ██████: What parts of its behavior are most detestable to you? SCP-925-D-1: Detestable? How you ignore it, then it works you to death, I guess. Dr. ██████: Do you find anything productive or noble about it? SCP-925-D-1: Noble? It makes you dig and then grows shit on you. What the hell are you pushing at? Dr. ██████: Nothing, nothing. Prepare for the test. We'll be standing by should there be any negative effects. SCP-925-D-1 was positioned by the door of SCP-925-7. The food slot was opened, and after a few moments SCP-925-7's arm reached out and touched SCP-925-D-1 on the left foot. During the exposure, SCP-925-D-1's expression changed from one of nervousness to contentment. After 15 seconds, SCP-925-D-1 was pulled away. Post-Exposure Interview Dr. ██████: How do you feel? SCP-925-D-1: I feel pretty good, guy. You? Dr. ██████: I'm well. What is your opinion on SCP-925? SCP-925-D-1: Er…dunno. They're just trying to get by like us, right? Dr. ██████: Are any parts of its behavior detestable to you? SCP-925-D-1: I can't say they're great or anything, but it's not like they're out to cause pain. Dr. ██████: Is there anything that you find noble in them? SCP-925-D-1: Don't know about noble. It's not like they kill each other like we do, though. Hey, do I need that treatment you told me about? Dr. ██████: You appear fine. We'll be standing by during this next test. SCP-925-D-1 was once again positioned in front of the door, and the food slot opened. SCP-925-7's arm immediately slid out, and rested on SCP-925-D-1's foot. During the exposure, SCP-925-D-1's expression changed from one of contentment to a blank stare. After 5 minutes, he was removed from the door. Post-Exposure Interview: Dr. ██████: How do you feel? SCP-925-D-1: I'm great. Dr. ██████: What is your opinion on SCP-925? SCP-925-D-1: They're great. Dr. ██████: Do you find anything detestable about SCP-925? SCP-925-D-1: NO! SCP-925-D-1 upended the table and advanced on Dr. ██████, who fled the room. The interview was postponed until SCP-925-D-1 became compliant. The interview resumed with two guards present. Dr. ██████: Do you find anything noble about SCP-925? SCP-925-D-1: They give us a purpose. Dr. ██████: What is that purpose? SCP-925-D-1: They give us a purpose. Dr. ██████: Would you like the treatment we told you about? SCP-925-D-1: No! Dr. ██████: Very well. Thank you for your time. You will be escorted back to your cell. SCP-925-D-1: Away from him? Dr. ██████: Yes. SCP-925-D-1: *Screaming incoherently* SCP-925-D-1 lunged at Dr. ██████, closing most of the distance before being killed by Guard ███████████. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-925" by Akashe, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-926 | safe | SCP-926 Item #: SCP-926 Special Containment Procedures: When not in use, SCP-926 is to be unstrung and stored in the temperature- and humidity-controlled case constructed for that purpose, and locked in Research Chamber 5688-A. Only personnel who submit a formal request and receive approval from site command may operate SCP-926. Before research access to SCP-926 is permitted, counterpart personnel at Site 366 in Xi'an, China are to be alerted. Testing of SCP-926 is suspended pending confirmation of the excavation and recovery of all responsive statues. See test log below. Description: SCP-926 is a guqin, or seven-stringed Chinese zither, dated to the 2nd or 3rd century BCE. The top of the sound chamber is constructed of the wood of an ancient, and now extinct, cultivar of the Firmiana simplex tree; the base is composed of wood from Catalpa ovata. The exterior of the instrument is coated with a lacquer of unknown composition, with surface duanwen, or crack patterns, that superficially resemble archaic Chinese logographs. The back of the instrument bears a calligraphic inscription in archaic Chinese reading "The King of Qin commands". The instrument was unstrung when collected by the Foundation, but its case included a leather pouch containing a quantity of instrument strings of twisted silk. The instrument was recovered by local farmers from a funerary site in Lintong District, Shaanxi Province, China in 1974. After the guqin was unearthed, cleaned and re-strung, a local traditional musician strummed a few notes on the instrument. The consequent subterranean disturbance led to the discovery of thousands of terracotta human and animal statues that had been buried in a hitherto undiscovered imperial necropolis in the vicinity of the site of the guqin's discovery. SCP-926 appears to function as a command or control instrument for the terracotta figures. The figures are of moulded clay construction unremarkable apart from their excellent state of preservation. Each figure depicts a life-sized human, or an animal such as a horse, pig or falcon. The statues depicting humans vary in dress, height, uniform and hairstyle in accordance with their apparent rank and the duty of the human depicted (e.g., military figures of various ranks, scribes, craftsmen, musicians, cooks, laborers, farmers, scholars and so on). Despite their clay construction, the statues have been demonstrated to be capable of movement and other actions when (but only when) given commands by means of the guqin. The guqin's command syntax is still poorly understood at this point due to limitations on testing. Partial test log follows: Reference Syntax (notes played) Result 001 (unknown guqin notes played prior to Foundation acquiring custody of object) Thousands of terracotta statues, while still buried in the necropolis, move suddenly. Statues were "standing at attention" when unearthed and it is assumed that the motion consisted of assuming this posture. It was this motion, which local residents had initially assumed was a small earthquake, that led to the discovery and excavation of the statues. 002 Shí-èr-lǜ series of tones All excavated "soldier" figures assume "parade rest" posture. 003 Tài Cù, then Gū Xiǎn All "scribe" figures produce brushes, ink and paper scrolls from an unknown source and adopt a posture apparently indicating readiness to take dictation. 004 Nán Lǚ twice, then Huáng Zhōng twice "Shield-bearer" soldier figures rapidly move into a defensive formation around the guqin and its player. 005 Wú Yì four times A number of "drummer" musician figures begin to beat their drums in unison. It should be noted that one of the drummer figures that responded to this command was at this point on display in the Louvre in Paris, France. 006 Dà Lǚ, then Yí Zé, then Lín Zhōng three times. Hundreds of previously-undiscovered "engineer" figures dig their way to the earth's surface in cropland two kilometers to the south of the site of the guqin's recovery. 007 Chord of Huáng Zhōng and Lín Zhōng, played twice A number of "scholar" figures step forward and orally recite the works of 3rd century BCE Chinese philosopher Han Fei. 008 Dà Lǚ, eight times Hundreds of additional unexcavated figures move while underground. The location of the figures was under an earthen dam, which collapsed due to the motion, causing widespread flooding and loss of life. Further testing suspended. Addendum-926-A A proposal to assign SCP-926 to the Bowe Commission's anomalous weapons program, together with other anomalous musical instruments/musical anomalies in Foundation custody such as SCP-381 and SCP-2458, is currently under consideration. |
SCP-927 | euclid | Object #: SCP-927 Special Containment Procedures: The neighbourhood containing SCP-927 is to be quarantined; no civilians are to be permitted entry. SCP-927 is to be staffed by ten (10) Biological Containment Personnel at all times. Flamethrowers are to be kept on location at all times and are to be used in the event of nearby properties becoming infested. Any civilians inquiring about SCP-927's level of security are to be informed that the area has been quarantined as a result of a radiation leak. In the event of extended inquiry on the part of civilians, concerned individuals are to be brought into custody and dosed with a Class A amnestic. Description: SCP-927 is a dilapidated three-story residence in the small town of ███████. Two (2) slightly decomposed corpses are present inside SCP-927, one male and one female. The male corpse shows signs of blunt trauma to the head and neck, and severe lacerations are present on the right leg. The female corpse shows signs of strangulation and blunt trauma to the ribs. Present on a table within SCP-927's kitchen is a glass of carbonated soda, since gone flat. A fruit bowl on the same table contains a slightly rotted apple. The leg in the northeast corner of the table has snapped and been replaced with an iron pole, crudely attached to the table using nails. On the wall of the dining room of SCP-927 is a slightly torn portrait of a sunflower. The stairs leading to the second floor of SCP-927 are slightly damaged and the third step has completely collapsed. Signs of termite infestation are evident inside SCP-927. The source of SCP-927's anomalous properties are an unidentified form of microorganism, hereafter referred to as SCP-927-1. SCP-927-1 has infested all surfaces inside SCP-927, and is also present within all liquids in the residence. Since the SCP-927-1 infestation, SCP-927 has shown no further structural collapse and all biological tissue within SCP-927 has ceased decomposing. SCP-927-1 reproduces quickly and has on multiple occasions infested other properties in the area. Upon infestation of a residence, SCP-927-1 will proceed to replicate SCP-927's conditions. SCP-927-1 will infest any humans in the residence, usually killing them by tunneling through their heart. SCP-927-1 will then proceed to systematically injure the corpse. In the case of males, SCP-927-1 will replicate blunt trauma to the head and neck, and will tunnel through the right leg to create severe lacerations. In the case of females, SCP-927-1 will apply precise trauma to simulate strangulation and blunt trauma to the ribs. If there are more humans residing in the infested residence than SCP-927, any additional corpses within the infested residence will be broken down extremely quickly, until no evidence of its existence remains. SCP-927-1 within victims bodies will, through a process as of yet unknown, alter its DNA until is identical to the corresponding body within SCP-927. Any carbonated liquids within SCP-927 will go flat and fruit will rot to a certain point, and then cease decomposition completely. SCP-927-1 will convert the leg in the northeast corner of any table within an infested residence to iron, and produce nails identical to those in SCP-927. Any paintings, portraits or photographs within the infested residence will be converted to a slightly torn painting of a sunflower. If residences infested by SCP-927-1 possess a second floor, the third step will be tunneled through and made to collapse. SCP-927-1 will produce live termites within the walls until the residence can be considered infested. SCP-927-1 will tunnel through surfaces until they have reached a similar state of collapse as SCP-927. Removing objects from SCP-927 appears to have no effect on this conversion process, as it would seem SCP-927-1 is operating on a 'template' of SCP-927's state when it was first infested. SCP-927-1 has proved vulnerable to heat, and use of flamethrowers is advised to deal with infected residences. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-927" by Tanhony, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-928 | euclid | SCP-928 Item #: SCP-928 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-928 is kept in a glass viewing case situated at the far end of a 3m x 5m containment room at Site 80. The case can be unlocked by the concurrent use of two keys. These keys are currently held by Researcher Short and Researcher Kaplan. At least two personnel must be present at all times when SCP-928 is being interacted with. SCP-928 must be monitored with audio and visual surveillance at all times. Recordings are to be analyzed by staff at Site 80. All chess moves dictated by SCP-928 must be recorded in Document 928-3. Attempts to reconstruct the game that it is playing are ongoing. Description: SCP-928 is a doll made primarily of ceramic and cloth. The eyes of the doll are capable of movement and will usually follow any person in the vicinity. SCP-928 is otherwise physically unremarkable. Although its mouth does not move, SCP-928 is capable of producing vocalizations. These vocalizations resemble those of a middle-aged human male with an as-of-yet unidentified accent and typically consist of exchanges of pleasantries or requests for clarification of some sort. Upon review of available data, background noises have been isolated, which may imply that SCP-928 is producing recordings of some sort, rather than producing the sounds wholesale. Background noises noted so far include: Dull thuds and rumbling possibly corresponding to distant explosions, heavy machinery, or various geological/meteorological phenomena. An unidentified, indistinguishable feminine voice, most likely that of a young adult. Generally agreed to be urgent-sounding. A variety of music played on an instrument that is most likely a highly modified piano. Similarities to human singing have been noted, but no conventional musical instruments fully account for these noises. Rustling and scribbling noises, most likely of paper and the usage thereof. Periodically, SCP-928 will issue commands corresponding to movements in a game of Capablanca chess.1 In most cases, there will be several weeks or months between commands, but intervals have ranged from three hours to eight years. Commands are not always issued in correspondence with formal chess notation, but are comprehensible. No link has been firmly established between the status of the match SCP-928 is playing and the vocalizations it makes. It is not currently believed to be speaking to Foundation personnel. Vocalizations deemed not notable are available in Document 928-6. No personal information about the entity or entities controlling SCP-928 has been noted. If a human subject comes within three meters of SCP-928, SCP-928 will vanish and reappear adjacent to the subject several seconds later. However, if there is at least one additional human within three meters of the subject, SCP-928 will not exhibit this behavior. Approximately 65% of subjects exposed to this behavior have left Foundation custody through various means within four days of exposure, and none have been recovered.2 Of the 35% that remain in Foundation custody, none have died or experienced demotion of any sort. Though technically impossible to confirm, it is generally accepted that SCP-928's commands correspond to events that occur in the real world, due to the timing of moves made by SCP-928 and the placement of [REDACTED].

Addendum: Excerpts from analysis of SCP-928 gameplay. Document has been modified to increase readability for researchers and executives who are not intimately familiar with chess strategy and tactics. …While SCP-928's strategy is difficult to ascertain given the very incomplete information existing regarding the game state and the actions of its opponent, I've come to the conclusion that SCP-928 is, if not highly skilled, then at least gives a very good impression of it. I would put it roughly on par with myself and slightly above Researcher Kaplan. It does not appear to possess the center squares, but I believe it is attempting to control them from the outside, suggesting influence from the hypermodern school… …On the whole, if I were forced to make an assessment, its play style is most reminiscent of Alekhine3 , but as Alekhine did not play Capablanca chess, and I am not as well-versed in that particular variation's masters, I cannot say for sure. Given the dearth of data with which I have to work, nothing more should be expected… …I can say very little about Black except that it seems to surpass SCP-928 in skill. While SCP-928 is very tactically precise, its opponent seems to practice a prophylactic4 style, stymieing most of White's tactics. Black controls somewhat more space than White and is most likely on the initiative… …In short, while Black probably has fewer pieces than White, it makes use of them more effectively and has a strategic advantage over White, which I suspect results from a knowledge of its opponent superior to White's understanding of it. Unless we've significantly misjudged the game state or SCP-928 displays some unexpected skills, it will most likely lose within thirty turns. I am obviously unable to say what exactly this would entail for the doll itself or for the Foundation, considering that we are in possession of it… Signed, Researcher Lester Short Footnotes 1. While other variants are possible considering the squares and pieces present, Capablanca Chess is the most widely-known variant that is consistent with known data. 2. Anecdotal evidence of subjects exposed to SCP-928 existing outside of Foundation custody exists; however, none of the subjects appeared to notice or be willing to communicate with personnel and were inexplicably lost. Thus, these reports remain unconfirmed. 3. [Alexander Alekhine was the fourth World Chess Champion. Born Oct. 1892, died Mar. 1946.]— Ed. 4.

SCP-929 | euclid | Item #: SCP-929 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-929 is currently kept in the form of a Common Blackbird chick. SCP-929 is to be kept in a sealed glass chamber measuring 4m x 4m. This chamber is to contain both SCP-929 and the 'parent' organisms. SCP-929 is to be fed daily according to Nutrition Chart 929-1. (See Incident 929-1) SCP-929 is currently kept in the form of a young Carassius auratus auratus, the domestic goldfish, to minimize difficulties in containment. SCP-929 is to be contained in a 3m x 3m glass tank with the goldfish it has designated as its 'parent'. This central tank is to be surrounded by four smaller tanks, each containing one goldfish. In the event that the 'parent' goldfish expire, SCP-929 will designate one of the surrounding goldfish as its new 'parent', instead of supervising research staff. SCP-929 is to be fed as described in Nutritional Chart 929-2 at least twice a day. No threatening movements are to be made against SCP-929 (tapping of glass, shaking of tank, etc.) Description: SCP-929 is an entity of varying height, weight and species, as it possesses the ability to rapidly change its appearance and biology to match those of any other species. Upon entering an area of three meters around an animal organism, SCP-929 will designate said organism as its 'parent' and rapidly transform. SCP-929 will always take the form of a younger member of the organism's species and will remain in this form until either the 'parent' organism is killed or hostilities are engaged against SCP-929. Upon engagement of hostilities, SCP-929's face and cranium will split and open outwards. A number of tendrils that appear to be similar in composition to imitated organs will emerge from within the created gap. Using these, SCP-929 will remove hostiles via a combination of throttling, brute force and lashing. After hostiles are killed or otherwise removed, SCP-929 will seek out a new 'parent' organism. SCP-929 exerts a psychic influence over those designated as its 'parent' organism. The parent will believe that SCP-929 is their offspring and recall highly detailed memories regarding SCP-929's presence. A diminished version of this effect is also exerted on those surrounding SCP-929, causing a general sense that SCP-929 is the genuine offspring of the parent organism. This diminished effect, however, can be overcome with minor concentration and foreknowledge of SCP-929's nature. Incident 929-1: On ██/██/████, SCP-929's 'parent' organisms attacked research personnel during feeding in a manner not consistent with previous behaviour. During the incident, SCP-929 attempted to breach containment, resulting in the deaths of two (2) security personnel and the injury of Dr. █████. Parent organisms and containment procedures have been altered to make SCP-929 more manageable. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-929" by Tanhony, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-930 | euclid | Item #: SCP-930 Special Containment Procedures: An island several kilometres south has been substituted as the original island for the purposes of regional documentation. Maps or works which record otherwise are to be confiscated and destroyed, or modified to remove SCP-930's existence. Security stations have been established on █ nearby islands to observe passing vessels. Should any ship approach within 1.25 km of SCP-930, it is to be intercepted and the crew detained, pending issue of class-A amnestics. Should SCP-930-1, [REDACTED] flee from SCP-930, SCPS Guardian is authorized to commence long-range incendiary bombardment. Description: SCP-930 is a tropical island located at 22.██████°S, 134.██████°W, formerly known as ██████████ by the local populace. SCP-930 is approximately 710 m in diameter, with a range of 680-760 m, although accurate shoreline measurements are impossible due to manifestation of SCP-930's primary effects. Refuse retrieved during exploration attempts suggest that humans may have once lived on the island. Flora consists primarily of the Poaceae and Meliaceae families; however, aerial photography of SCP-930's canopy has revealed a number of introduced species also populate the island. Several species of birds, dubbed SCP-930-1, inhabit SCP-930. Although the island is located in the South Pacific, carcasses of species native to North America and Australia have been found washed onto the shore after presumably expiring mid-flight. Fowl introduced to the island become instances of SCP-930-1 if released for extended periods, usually 2-56 hours. Studies of social interaction between SCP-930-1 and introduced bird species show that exhibited behaviour is primarily the species' standard for a predation warning, although no fauna has been discovered on SCP-930 which preys on SCP-930-1. Sea-faring vessels, such as boats or personal watercraft, trigger an immediate response from SCP-930-1 when approaching SCP-930's shore. SCP-930-1 entities will take flight and circle the island. Attempts to deter SCP-930-1 have no effect, including the use of gunfire and explosives. SCP-930-1 will increase in numbers steadily, reaching peak concentration roughly 7.0 minutes after the phenomenon is triggered. SCP-930-1 activity usually covers between █.█ to ██.█ square kilometres. Ships that run aground or come to a complete stop at the shoreline will cause all active instances of SCP-930-1 to become aggressive, targeting the vessel and driving exposed crew to cover. SCP-930-1 shows hostility towards humans after they disembark, to the extent of inflicting non-lethal wounds. It appears that SCP-930-1 will not intentionally kill humans. Extensive attacks usually result in intruders fleeing from the island. Only then will SCP-930-1 cease its activities and return to a passive state. Addendum-930-1: On ██/██/████ EX-Y7 successfully landed on SCP-930 and retrieved █ specimens of SCP-930-1 for Foundation study. Upon further investigation of SCP-930, EX-Y7 recovered samples from ██ articles of clothing (heavily degraded), █ discarded personal electronic devices (heavily degraded, non-functional), Document-930-1 (degraded), █ human bodies (all showed evidence of massive external trauma), █ cameras (█ non-functional, 1 functional). Document-930-1: [BEGIN] ██/██/████ My name is H█████ W██████, and I am the last survivor of the USS Kete, out of a crew of 87. Two weeks ago, 19 of us were marooned on this island. Our vessel had been hit by a mine west of the Ryukyu Islands. We drifted for days before the repairs became unmanageable, and we were forced to abandon ship. Most of us were lost after storms separated our lifeboats, but two of them reached this island, mine included. [DATA REDACTED FOR IRRELEVANCE] We thought that the local wildlife were just aggressive and territorial when we first got here, and you probably thought the same. There was a few things I noticed, though, that the others didn't seem to. Our rafts were destroyed by the rocks, not the birds. They did not kill a single one of us, and the injuries they did inflict were only on our arms and legs, not our necks or throats. I don't think anymore, that they were trying to kill us, or harm us. They were trying to protect us. To get us away from this hell. We went missing, slowly, one or two in the night. Sometimes we never found the bodies, sometimes they would be hanging from the trees. I remember Clair finding that first one, he wouldn't talk for days, he was scared out of his mind. Irving said he just got up and left one day, didn't come back. They all didn't come back. There's something here, worse than anything I've ever seen. Since everyone left there's been glimpses I've seen of it, out in the bushes. I'm getting so tired now, I can't stay awake any longer. It's going to get me like it got everyone else. You have to get off of this island. You have to escape. its in the bushes [END] ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-930" by GrandEnder, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-930.

SCP-932 | euclid | Item #: SCP-932 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-932-01 through -06-08 are to be kept in a 15 m x 15 m room with observational windows, furnished with a speaker and a bed with straps. During an observation, experimentation or interaction session, the speaker is to play a tone of 510 Hz at 100 dB (rated as 'loud') to enable visibility of SCP-932. Noise-cancelling headphones are available to participating staff on request to facilitate communication. Once every 3 days, a D-Class personnel is to sleep in the bed in SCP-932's chamber for feeding purposes. The speakers need not be turned on for this purpose. The feeding process is never fatal; however, the straps can be utilised in case of resistance on part of the D-Class. Said personnel can be returned to normal duties afterwards. Wild instances of SCP-932 are to be tracked down and captured alive by MTF Iota-4 ("Dream Hunters"). EDIT: Following Incident-932-002, containment breach protocols have been set. The 510 Hz tone is to be played throughout the site if a breach occurs, and all air vents or possible escape routes are to be sealed. All on-site personnel are advised to keep as calm as possible. The following changes are also to be made to SCP-932's containment: The speaker is to be affixed to the wall and play the aforementioned tone at all times and that a different D-Class personnel be used for each feeding session. Description: SCP-932 are creatures able to adjust the refractive indices of their bodies in order to appear invisible. This ability seems to be disrupted when SCP-932 is exposed to sound; a loud (100 dB) tone of 510 Hz neutralises it completely. When visible, SCP-932 resemble pale and featureless children. Their height varies from 1.2 to 1.6 m and weigh approximately 30-40 kilograms. In large numbers, SCP-932 have been able to pin down and fully immobilise an adult human. SCP-932 "hunts" by silently following an individual to his/her dwelling in groups of no more than 8 individuals. If necessary, SCP-932 will lie in wait near or under the victim's bed for several hours until he/she falls asleep and enters a state of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. When the victim enters this state, the pack of SCP-932 will pin the victim down, secreting an unknown pheromone that causes the victim to wake before the REM cycle is complete.1 In most cases, the victim will be conscious but immobile, leading to a general feeling of panic. Initially, it was thought that SCP-932 fed on hormones produced by the panicking victim, but Experiment 932-04 ("Towel Test") seemed to prove otherwise. SCP-932, for all intents and purposes, feeds on fear. It is unknown how this mechanism works, or how it detects REM sleep in its victims. SCP-932 is generally docile and does not actively attack researchers. However, if its feeding schedule is disrupted for more than 21 days, it will seem to be more aggressive and alert to its surroundings, and on occasion has tried to subdue researchers entering its containment chamber despite the researcher being completely awake at the time. EDIT: It appears that SCP-932 prefers variation in its diet, as they seem to be more placid at the beginning of the month (when a new D-Class personnel is introduced) than at the end. Suggesting 5 D-Class be assigned to our team and taking turns in the feeding session. —Researcher Min Permission under consideration, given light of your recent budget scandal. —Director Faizal Permission granted, following events of Incident 932-02. —Director Faizal Incident Report 932-02: Date: 29/06/1998 Location: Site-09, Biological Division, South Wing, #03-02 (14.00.23) Research Assistant Byantara prepares to enter containment chamber for weekly vacuuming. He appears to mumble under his breath, body language shows apprehension. Records show that Byantara was a new-hire and had little experience with SCPs. (14.00.57) 510 Hz tone plays, Byantara is given the all-clear. SCP-932 become visible. (14.01.18) Byantara turns on vacuum cleaner and enters containment chamber. SCP-932-01 through 06 immediately turn to face him and slowly move towards his direction. He appears startled by this reaction, quickly waving the vacuum cleaner around him in an attempt to keep SCP-932 at bay. (14.03.01) SCP-932-03 tackles Byantara's legs from behind, causing him to collapse. The other SCP-932 individuals leap on him and keep him down on the floor, apparently initiating a feeding event. Byantara is visibly struggling under the combined weight of SCP-932, accidentally disconnecting the speaker's plug with his kicking feet. SCP-932 are now invisible. (14.03.13) Site security alerted, and observational cameras are switched to IR mode. The members of SCP-932 are still feeding. (14.03.50) Site security arrive, but are told not to enter the containment chamber until the feed from the IR camera is loaded onto their HUDs. (14.05.48) Research Assistant Byantara ceases movement. IR feed shows the pack of SCP-932 lose interest and leave his body. 5 members of site security enter chamber and disable active members of SCP-932. A preliminary survey revealed that SCP-932-06 was unaccounted for. (14.05.51) Byantara recovered from containment chamber. Pulse is weak and rapid, and his eyes are wide open and rapidly moving. On closer inspection, his pupils appeared dilated despite the bright conditions of the chamber. (14.06.00) Site lockdown initiated, all personnel advised to remain calm. Site security dispatched for retrieval. (14.06.38) The 510 Hz tone is played on the site speakers. Visibility of SCP-932-01 through -05 confirmed. (14.06.51) Multiple motion sensors activated in South Wing air ducts. (14.08.46) Camera feed shows SCP-932-06 exiting from an air duct in corridor 3A of the South wing. Security team prepares for retrieval. (14.09.02) Camera feed shows another SCP-932 exiting from an air duct in corridor 3D of the South Wing. Director Faizal expresses possibility of SCP-932 reproduction. The 510 Hz tone is played through the air ducts via a speaker in the Biology Office to aid retrieval procedures. (14.09.32) Camera feed shows another SCP-932 exiting from an air duct in corridor 4P of the South Wing. Additional security teams dispatched to contain both new instances. (14.11.07) Containment of 3 individuals achieved. Sensors report no more movement in air ducts. The two new individuals are labeled SCP-932-07 and -08, and are contained along with SCP-932-01 through -06. Note: Research Assistant Byantara is in a comatose state, and displays no change in behaviour. Further observation is required. Note: After 47 days on life support, Byantara appeared to mouth something and his eyes ceased movement. He died of cardiac arrest shortly afterwards. I think he said something like "too scared to move". —Research Assistant Pattayong Footnotes 1. These effects are highly similar to other anomalies which prey on victims during REM cycles, or cause paralysis during sleep, such as SCP-966, SCP-3060 and SCP-122. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-932" by minmin, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-933 | euclid | Item #: SCP-933 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-933-02 and all affected subjects must be stored in a modified standard artifact containment unit that contains no electronic components. All personnel guarding SCP-933-02 and affected subjects must be equipped with standard assault rifles, a high-caliber sidearm, class 3 magnesium flares with an active duration of no less than 20 minutes, and protective goggles. In the event of SCP-933-02 or any affected subjects escaping, all personnel are to activate their flares first and don the protective goggles second. Maximum force is authorized to restore containment. SCP-933-01 is to be guarded in a manner identically to SCP-933-02 and the affected subjects. SCP-933-02 and the affected subjects have shown that they will always make their way directly to SCP-933-01. How they determine this path is unknown. Description: SCP-933-01 appears to be an innocuous roll of duct tape. Attempts to unroll it by non-affected personnel have proved ineffective. SCP-933-02 appears to be a man in a cloak who has absolutely no facial features. All affected subjects bear the same condition, but the rest of their bodies appear as they did before their incidents. While all affected subjects have identical behavior to SCP-933-02, none of them possess its formidable strength or resilience. Affected subjects have been terminated with no more force than it would take to kill an ordinary person. During Incident-933-004, SCP-933-02 sustained 57 bullet wounds before collapsing, which it healed from over the following 238 days. While in possession of SCP-933-01, SCP-933-02 will attempt to pin anyone it can perceive, going after the closest targets first. Once SCP-933-02 has pinned a subject, it will unroll SCP-933-01 and place it over the subject's eyes, ears, nose, or mouth, with no preference. It will then remove SCP-933-01, completely removing that facial feature. Autopsies have shown that the amount of damage is considerable, with the affected feature being completely filled in with flesh and bone. SCP-933-02 will continue to do this until it is stopped or all facial features are removed, at which point the subject is to be treated the same as the other affected subjects. Subjects afflicted by SCP-933-01 will experience a strong compulsion to acquire SCP-933-01. This compulsion is augmented by an unexplained mechanism allowing them to locate SCP-933-01 at long distances. For reasons unknown, SCP-933-02 has shown that it is unable to perceive living things that are within 1 meter of a 100 lumen light source. This range increases with the brightness of the light source. SCP-933-02 has demonstrated that it can cause electronics to fail merely by being around them. This ranges from electronic lights losing power to electronic locks failing in the unlocked position. The extent of this ability is not known. SCP-933-02 has never directly harmed any personnel, preferring to destroy their weapons and then make use of SCP-933-01. Addendum: Partial victims must never come into contact with SCP-933-01 and are to be transferred to any other facility immediately. All partial victims that have remained at the facility have become obsessed with the idea that if they could handle SCP-933-01, they could get their facial feature(s) back. In all cases, the subjects merely finished removing all of their facial features. Transcript of the Post-Incident-933-002 Interview of Agent ████████: <Begin Log> Dr. ██████ enters the room to interview Agent ████████. Dr. ██████: How are you feeling, ████████? Agent ████████: Who is that? Dr. ██████: It's me, ██████. Agent ████████: Oh. It's good to… hear you again, I guess. How do you think I feel? I've lost my goddamned eyes! I'm gonna be stuck guarding 689 or some shit like that. Dr. ██████: I'm sorry, but you know how things work around here. Agent ████████: Yeah, yeah. As long as we're useful, we do useful things. But it's worse than just that. Worse than losing all the time I put into sharpshooting. What really drives me nuts is that no one talks to me anymore. Dr. ██████: I'm talking to you. Agent ████████: You have to. You're the one writing the report. It's like as soon as I lost my eyes, I stopped being a person. Dr. ██████: I'm serious. The only reason I haven't come to see you until now is because all of this damned paperwork. We'll still go to ███████████ every other Friday. You'll just have to wear sunglasses. Agent ████████: Sure we will. A long pause follows. Agent ████████: Doc, I've been thinking about the tape. It was the thing that took my eyes. It should still have them, right? Maybe, if I could just get my hands on it, I could get them back. Dr. ██████: No one else has been able to use it, but I'll make some calls and see what I can do. Agent ████████: Thanks. <End Log> (End of Transcription) ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-933" by Lat Ware, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-934 | euclid | Item #: SCP-934 Special Containment Procedures: Containment Area 934-1 has been established in a 5 km radius around SCP-934, under the cover of supposed chemical contamination. Armed, undercover guards must be on station around the perimeter at all times, and any civilians attempting to enter the area or gain access to SCP-934 must be detained and questioned. Description: SCP-934 is the lighthouse near [DATA EXPUNGED] on the valley property and estate of the late Dr. █████. Dr. █████, a renowned scientist, had the functioning lighthouse built on his property at great expense despite the inland location nearly 65 km from any body of water, citing a need for his "grand experiment". SCP-934 was discovered following a routine investigation of Dr. █████'s property by Foundation agents following his disappearance on or about █/██/19██, due to his former involvement with [DATA EXPUNGED]. The area was locked down and current containment procedures established following Incident Zero, which resulted in the loss of the entire investigation team. Every seven (7) days, the area surrounding SCP-934 becomes shrouded in a dense fog that obscures all view of SCP-934 and the surrounding estate within a radius of 2 km, hereby known as the Red Zone. During this time, SCP-934 becomes active and emits a strong beam of light consistent with a normal lighthouse of similar design. This fog appears to have anomalous properties, causing all electronics within to behave erratically or malfunction and blocking radio signals. Furthermore, no personnel who have entered the Red Zone during a period of fog have ever been seen or heard from again. The fog period of SCP-934 persists for approximately 24 hours before the fog dissipates and the lighthouse ceases function. Addendum 934-01: Incident Zero (Initial Exploration Log) Following the disappearance of Dr. █████, a five-man Foundation team was dispatched to investigate his estate and property and secure any possible [DATA EXPUNGED]. Excerpts from the transcript of radio traffic follows: 0645 L T1-Lead: This is Lead, we have arrived on site. No sign of anyone in the area. Command: Copy. You are clear to proceed with the mission. Sound of door opening. T1-Lead: Command, we have entered the manor. The area is clean, like it has been dusted within the last day. Command: Lead, that is not possible. The manor has been under observation for a month, and there has been no sign of anyone entering or exiting the- T1-Lead: Command, Command, someone just turned on the lights! Command: That's impossible, there's no power being fed to the house. Team One, you are weapons-free, I repeat, you are weapons-free at this time. T1-Lead: Roger, Command. We are weapons-free. Sounds of weapons being loaded and readied. 0653 L T1-Lead: Command, Lead. There appears to be hot food set out in the dining room. I count nine- no, ten places set. The fireplace is lit as well. We have not seen anyone in the manor or surrounding area. 0711 L Command: Command to Team One, we are aborting your mission at this time. Exit to Point B, backup will be arriving in one hour. T1-Lead: Copy, Command. Wait, there appears to be some kind of [static] rolling in. Command: Say again, Lead? T1-Lead: [static] appears to be some kind of fog [static] Command? Command: Lead, you are breaking up. T1-Lead: [static] is on, I repeat the [static] Command: Team One, get clear of the house! Do you read me? T1-Lead: [static] Command: Team One, do you read me? Team One? End of Transcript (Contact Lost) - 0712 L Approximately 24 hours after contact was lost with Team One, the fog dissipated and a second team was dispatched. Team Two found the manor and lighthouse completely abandoned in a state of extreme disrepair inconsistent with the reports of Team One. A thorough search of the manor turned up the clothing and equipment of the Team One members, folded neatly and stacked in the center of an empty second-floor room. The batteries of all of their electronic equipment had been completely drained, and recording media and memory cards were empty. Team Two's search of the lighthouse turned up only broken lighthouse equipment and empty rooms, although Team Two members reported being able to hear a faint buzzing or static that persisted for several days after leaving the area. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-934" by Aelanna, from the SCP Wiki.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-935 is contained inside a standard containment locker at Site-19. When SCP-935 breaches containment, the recontainment of the object will begin under the Bowe Protocol. The recontainment of SCP-935 will only occur with the recovery of SCP-935-1. In the case that SCP-935-1 is found dead, the Bowe Commission SCP-935 Research Team will trace the subsequent SCP-935-1 subject. The Bowe Protocol is the current method utilized by the Bowe Commission Research Team, with the assistance of SCP-935-1. The subjects of SCP-935 are assisted with the decommissioning of SCP-935 and, in the case of failure, the body of the subject will be returned to the family with a coverup story for their death. Description: SCP-935 is a box of playing cards dating back to eighteenth-century Brandenburg, Germany. Physically, the cards are in a worn but playable condition. Inside the box, the top card reads: “Sins of the father, crimes of the son. For the cheating committed centuries ago, you and your descendants will suffer the consequences of your ancestors." SCP-935 affects the Bowe family, and all members that are selected by the object are classified as SCP-935-1. When the subject reaches 41 years of age, 935 will teleport into the possession of the subject; before both the subject and 935 disappear. The time of disappearance is unknown, but it is estimated that it lasts to the corresponding card game. Recovery of the subject alive has failed thus far. Once SCP-935-1 is in possession of SCP-935, the top card will show the instructions of the specific card game that will be played. Besides the instructions, SCP-935 will give two warnings to the subject: not to cheat during the game and not to lose against it. Failure to follow these rules will result in the death of SCP-935-1.1 When the game begins, SCP-935 will move on its own according to the development of the card game. When the game finishes, SCP-935 will return to its inactive state and wait for the next subject, repeating the process. Addendum 935.1: Discovery Colonel Adrian Bowe and Dr. Wernher von Braun discussing the test of the ballistic missile (1956). SCP-935 was discovered after the death of Colonel Adrian Bowe while supervising a Foundation ballistic missile test on 03/02/1956.2 Officially, the test was a coordination between the Foundation and the Army Ballistic Missile Agency in Site-150.3 Alongside site security, the colonel's cousin, Lieutenant Stan Bowe, was brought to the scene to confirm the identification of the colonel's body. Lieutenant Stan Bowe discovered the anomaly alongside the body and questioned the research staff in charge of the missile's test. His results were inconclusive and he decided to report the problem to the colonel's superior, J. Edgar Hoover.4 The Lieutenant informed him of the colonel's death and volunteered to study the anomaly in the unit. Director Hoover denied the request and informed him that the object would be transferred to the Foundation. Finally, he handed the will of the Colonel to the Lieutenant, which is attached below + Open Colonel Adrian Bowe's Will - Close Colonel Adrian Bowe's Will Portrait of Colonel Adrian Bowe (1955). Hey Stan, If you read this, it means I'm dead — looks like lady luck wasn't on my side. When you find my body, you'll find an old box of cards near me: that box is the cause. I'm not the only who's died like this: your dad, Oliver; my ma', Abigail. Our cousins, brothers, sisters, grandparents and great-grandparents. Of our future wives and children, and those that will come from them. For the last eighteen years, I've kept it in secret from our family, because your father asked me to. Supposedly, these cards have some sort of curse, something to do with "cheating". Personally, I don't care and I don't want to know about that crap. I only needed to know how to destroy this thing but as you see, it didn't work so well. I left my inheritance to my children, but I leave you all the work of our ancestors: Hoover will give the information you may need, and transfer it to the Foundation under your lead — I figured they were the fittest to assist in our work, I hope it helps. I only ask for two favors: one, take care of my wife Sarah, as well as Little Oliver and Janey. I couldn't bare losing them like this. Second, make sure you destroy this shit. Make it pay for what it has done to our family, and what it will do if you let it. Best of luck, prick. Semper fidelis, Adrian Rye B. Addendum 935.2: Relevant subjects of SCP-935 From the containment of SCP-935 on 03/02/1956 to the death of General Stan Bowe on 09/07/1970, the General was the Head Researcher of SCP-935 as well as the Director of the Bowe Commission. During these fourteen years, the General dedicated his life to the recovery of historical documents of the Bowe family in order to assist in the termination of SCP-935. Between 1956 and 1970, seventeen members of the family died because of the object. However, little progress was achieved in the termination of the anomaly, the mitigation of its anomalous capabilities, or its origin. However, General Stan Bowe and the Bowe Commission compiled the most relevant subjects terminated by SCP-935. The most important writings left by the victims aware of SCP-935 are attached below: + Open Document of Ms. Sally Bowe - Close Document of Ms. Sally Bowe Recovered painting of Ms. Sally Bowe (1876). My beloved son, It's a shame I don't have more time left, my dear, but I cannot go against our Lord's calling. It saddens me that you cannot visit your mother in her last days, but more so what will happen next. That's why I've made sure that this letter reaches you, as well as our family's property. While this may be incredibly valuable in this earthly world, it cannot be compared to the Kingdom's glory and the great gift of life given to us. That's why it saddens me because our gift of life does not belong to us anymore. From your father's side, at least. I'm currently 71. I've lived a long life, I married your father late in life, after becoming a widow. It was strange to me as to why he married an older woman, but now I know: I was an experiment, to see if I could survive the curse that plagues us. He died early, and I only lived because I was given mercy from the wrath of our Lord. The source of this punishment comes from this box of cards, which will be with this letter. The box is the reason for your father's death. And while I shouldn't have gone against our Father's wrath, I'm your mother. I'm supposed to protect and I hope that God can forgive me for what I did: after asking for help from our bishop and being unable to stop it, I asked for the help of occultists to decipher the why of our Lord's punishment. They failed as I should've known and soon, I caught this disease that I suffer. This is another punishment, one that I cannot stop, and one that I will die knowing I have sentenced my children to. I'm sorry, my child. Maybe one day we will stop this curse, and receive the forgiveness of our Father. But that will only happen if we redeem ourselves. From what? I wish I knew. But what I want you to know, Henry, is that I want you to be the next patriarch of the family. You're one of the few remaining elders of our blood, and you're the only one I can trust with the task of our blood's survival. Continue our tradition: early marriages with elder families, and many children. That's the only way our family will be saved. I wish I could've seen you one last time on this Earth, but maybe we will meet again in Heaven if God allows it. Your ill mother, Sally L. Bowe + Open Document of Brig. General Henry Bowe - Close Document of Brig. General Henry Bowe Portrait of Brig. General Henry Bowe from the United States Cavalry archives (1887). To William, Damn it all to Hell, my last attempt to get rid of these damned cards and all because of some Indians. I know you advised me not to trespass protocol, but I'm the Director of the Initiative,5 so I can do whatever I want. You wanted to exploit the recent revival of magic, thaumaturgy, or whatever the fuck you people call it nowadays. The problem is that I was running out of time, you were running out of time, and our family was running out of time. When I stepped to Window Rock, the memories of the war passed through my eyes. Even when we gave them land, they fought for more — they just couldn't stay where we told them to stay. I saw one or two people that I captured before, and the word of my arrival quickly spread. Short enough, I was greeted by the leader of the largest clan and I ordered him to bring me to his healer. I knew that he was insulted by my presence, but he followed my orders. When I met the shaman, I explained the situation. He listened carefully and begrudgingly accepted my order. He had the help of some assistants and performed a ritual that lasted for who knows how long. He asked me if our family was guilty, and I returned with a question: whose family isn't? He didn't like my answer, but he continued. By the time the sun had set, he answered: the cards are not a divine punishment like our mother believed. The shaman said that these cards hold a vengeful spirit and that it emanated a burning hatred toward me. He confirmed that it was a punishment, but he didn't know of what. I assumed that was the case, and I asked if he could do anything to purge this spirit: he told me he could. I ordered him to do so, and he denied my request. I reached for my bag and tossed him a dozen dollars, so he could buy food in the nearest base. He didn't take it, so I stood up and left — they could've helped me, but they decided not to. So next week, after approval from President Arthur, I sent the Cavalry and ordered them to pick up the shaman, his assistants, and their families. Like a few years ago, I ordered my men to take them for a long walk. When the shaman decided to not help our family, to pursue revenge for what I did, they dug their own grave. Lately, I've heard stories, that their spirits now roam the land. In a way, they remind me of us: dead spirits seeking revenge for what happened to them. William, just like I did to those Indians, I want you to do the same to those cards: an eye for an eye. For me, for yourself, and for our family. Avenge me, H.W. Bowe + Open Document of Dr. Oliver Bowe - Close Document of Dr. Oliver Bowe Site-19's portrait of Dr. Oliver Bowe from the Scientific Department archives (1934). To Adrian, My boy, please forgive me, I failed to keep the promise I swore to your dad to protect you. I don't have much time left to continue my research and neutralize our family's curse. I did everything I could to stop it, and it depresses me that I wasn't the one chosen to save our family. As I write this letter to you, I wish I could've used the time I put in my studies to spend more time with you and Stan. I wish I could turn back time, to stop this curse from ever happening, and return to grow old and watch you two become men. But there's no point in regrets now, and all that's left is to pray that I win this sick game. In the case I don't, I ask you, please finish my work — our family's work. You'll receive everything you need to know along with this letter. I found almost nothing new with one exception: when the cards kill us, it leaves a message. I've compiled these messages in my notes and you can see them for yourself. I didn't want to believe it at first, but I can't deny the evidence: it seems it has faith in us. Each time that it leaves a message, it reads as if it were disappointed in us. And it has done so every time I've found one of our family members dead. It wants us to play fairly, but we've either lost the game or cheated. The strategies we have used so far have failed, and we must change in order to win. Now that I know this, I must test this theory. I hope I live to tell you because I can't bear leaving without you knowing this. Cross your fingers, Adrian. My boy, promise me that if I die, you'll take care of your cousin. I'll die for both of you if I have to, but I wouldn't be at peace if he also went through what I will. Forgive me, my boy, for putting this weight on your shoulders — but we must save ourselves because we only have our family. I don't know what these cards think we're guilty of, I just know we are, and I'm sorry I couldn't redeem ourselves. These are my last words to you, so please keep them close to your heart: I love you, and Stan. You two will be in my heart when I play this twisted game. I'll miss you, Oliver + Open Document of General Stan Bowe - Close Document of General Stan Bowe Portrait of General Stan Bowe from Bowe Commission archives (1969). To Willis, Hello, son. Happy 10th birthday. I always enjoyed watching you grow every year, but I'm sorry I wasn't there to see you blow out your candles. I won't hug you and give you your present. However, I'll pay it back. I'll give you, and our family, our life back. This will be my present for your birthday, and many more to come. I love you and your mom, Willis, always remember that. In the case, that someone else finds this letter: a secret operation occurred. SCP-935 broke containment and took me with it. I used my most trustworthy personnel to breach anomalies and use them against SCP-935, to increase my chances of success. Even if I die, I won't without a bang. Those who collaborated with me, and later stopped my attempts to detain the anomaly, I only have something to say: damn you. When I die, I'll have the name of the soul inside SCP-935. And when I do, the rest of the pieces will fall in place. I know that the Foundation won't finish the job — that fate is not meant for you, but someone from my family. That job will be theirs to finish. You can thank me when I meet you back in hell. Willis, when you find this letter, know this: once I'm done, our family's name will be disgraced in the Foundation. Our name will be damned, as it is right now. But that's the price we must pay to keep our family alive. Willis, I entrust you to bring back our name to the place it rightfully belongs — upkeep our legacy, my son. To the Foundation, General Stan Joseph Bowe, signing out. To my family, Stan Addendum 935.3: Incident 935-D Photograph of a destroyed hallway in Sector-5 of Site-19 after Incident 935-D (1970). Incident 935-D occurred on 09/07/1970 after the containment breach of SCP-935, which caused the disappearance of General Stan Bowe, from here on referred to as SCP-935-1. During his disappearance, a secret operation was carried out by Bowe Commission personnel closely related to SCP-935-1 to aid in the neutralization of the anomaly, by utilizing luck and probability-related SCP objects to increase the game in favor of SCP-935-1. The breach of these objects suddenly shifted the localized probabilistic field, causing the operation to devolve into a containment breach. Despite the loss of control by the Bowe Commission personnel, the anomalies were delivered in time to the location of SCP-935-1 in Site-19. However, the anomalies did not aid in the neutralization of SCP-935 and after the recontainment of breached anomalies, the involved Bowe Commission personnel were captured with the exception of SCP-935-1. SCP-935-1 was not neutralized by the anomaly, but shot himself when surrounded by site security. The senior guard in charge of apprehending SCP-935-1 stated that he yelled a name to the security team, before committing suicide. After the announcement of the death of the subject, the remaining loyalists surrendered. SCP-935-1's body was recovered and returned to the family under a cover story, as well as with official state honors. SCP-935 was found alongside the body of SCP-935-1, and the top card was rewritten with the following message: ALL BOWES ARE THE SAME After the recontainment of the anomaly, the Bowe Commission was disbanded, and its personnel were either reprimanded or returned to the Pentagram.6 The SCP-935 Research Team was given complete authority on the project. The Bowe Protocol was repurposed to active containment and suppression of the curse to the Bowe family, because of the difficulties in the method used by the Bowe Commission in its containment procedures against SCP-935. Ever since Incident 935-D, the attempts to decommission SCP-935 have ceased.

SCP-936 | euclid | Item #: SCP-936 Special Containment Procedures: Specimens of SCP-936 are to be kept on the grounds of Bio Research Site-104, enclosed by a fence to prevent unauthorised access, and watered daily. Approximately once a month, the plantation is to be screened for any SCP-936-1 by two (2) D-Class personnel of adequate physical ability and SCP-936-1 are to be harvested according to site plan. Harvested SCP-936-2 are to be incinerated if unused, can be fed to contained carnivores upon removal of seeds, which are to be incinerated. Following Incident 936-1, the D-class personnel performing the screening are to be screened thoroughly for infectious diseases, and are to use sterile gloves and facial filters to prevent contamination. Uncontained SCP-936 instances are to be dug out and any SCP-936-1 and SCP-936-2 incinerated. For purposes of containment, the Foundation is to ensure SCP-936 is declared an invasive species by local governments; a censored description is to be made public for this purpose. Description: SCP-936 is a species of deciduous, self-pollinating tree resembling Fagus sylvatica, inhabiting the region of northern and eastern Europe, most notably clustering around ██████, Ukraine. SCP-936 is capable of forming clonal colonies, the ol[DATA EXPUNGED]. It has been shown that the roots of SCP-936 are host to nitrogen-fixing bacteria, similarly to the legumes - as during most of its lifecycle, the plant doesn't display any anomalous properties, checking for unusual soil nitration levels shows promise as an identification method. SCP-936 is monoecious, and during flowering, specimens can be recognised by an unusually high male to female flower ratio - there are only several dozen female flowers, usually growing directly on older wood. Out of those, on average, less than six continue development, and it is rare for more than a single fruit to reach maturity. The resulting fruit, classified SCP-936-1 is covered in a green cupule, and rapidly grows towards its ripe mass of app. 85 kg; SCP-936's foliage grows denser in order to cover for the energetic expenditure. Dissection has revealed the inside of SCP-936-1 contains a length of stem wrapping around a structure closely resembling a human body, designated SCP-936-2. Tissue samples obtained from SCP-936-1 physiologically resemble human tissue, possessing functionality in most aspects1, with the exception of ██████, █████ and ███████ █████ which contain a mass of brown-black seeds approximately 3cm in diameter. As SCP-936-1 reaches maturity, the stem thickens considerably and the cupule wilts, eventually breaking, and causing SCP-936-2 to descend, hanging from the stem which in most cases wraps around its cervical region. The appearance of SCP-936-2 produced by a single SCP-936 varies in size, visual appearance, and apparent gender with no discernible pattern. The seeds within SCP-936-2 have a thick skin, and take approximately sixteen months to germinate. However if exposed to an acidic environment (pH < 2), germination occurs within ██ weeks. Recovery Log: SCP-936 was first discovered near ██████, Finland, after reports of an unusually high reported suicide rate. Intelligence agent ████'s report has revealed this to be due to the statistics including a number of nude hanging victims being periodically discovered on trees in the nearby ████ forest, and the local cemetery, their identity being impossible to determine. Suspecting a cognitohazard, a perimeter was established around said yard under the premise of widespread bark beetle infection, and the site was placed under observation. During observation period, a new corpse was discovered despite security footage showing no violations of perimeter within assumed time of death. Autopsy revealed anomalies inconsistent with human anatomy; notably, seeds located in [REDACTED]. Agent F████ noted that all victims have been found hanging from a single species of tree, and a thorough examination has resulted in the procurement several samples of unripe SCP-936-1, leading to SCP-936 classification. MTF Xi-8 "Spearhunters" performed removal of all instances of SCP-936 within an surrounding area of 45 km sq. Obtained seeds contained at Bio Research Site-104. Addendum 936-1: EXPERIMENT LOG SCP-936 SUBJECT: D-532, 25-year-old male. GRAFT: 100 cm sq. of skin taken from SCP-936-2. RESULT: Skin graft implanted successfully. Skin shows higher mechanical resistance, possibly due to interstitial cellulose fibers. However, incisions take longer to heal, and poor resistance to UV light. SUBJECT: D-821, 25-year-old male. GRAFT: muscular tissue taken from biceps of SCP-936-2. RESULT: Muscle graft implanted successfully. Muscular tissue appears to behave ordinarily, and has similar strength/volume ratio. Despite D-821 being restrained for several days due to operation , implanted muscle showed no traces of atrophy. Subject D-821's diet switched to protein-deficient - measurements of rate of muscle loss showed this to be lower by a factor of ██. SUBJECT: D-231, 30-year-old male. GRAFT: Kidneys taken from SCP-936-2. RESULT: Graft implanted successfully. Kidneys shown to have remarkable liquid economy. Subject expired due to renal failure after seven weeks. SUBJECT: D-512, 23-year-old female. GRAFT: Digestive system taken from SCP-936-2. RESULT: Graft implanted successfully. D-512, instead of via regular digestion, appears to absorb products of bacterial decay - intestinal microflora changed substantially. D-512 appears emaciated. D-512's urine abnormal - further testing shows intestinal flora removes cca.██% of urea from her bloodstream and reprocesses it. I suspect the new intestinal tract isn't long enough for this mode of digestion. - Dr ██████ SUBJECT: D-721, 25-year-old female. GRAFT: [REDACTED] RESULT: Graft implanted successfully. D-721 appears to produce a steady supply of seeds. SUBJECT: D-723, 31-year-old female. GRAFT: Subject impregnated with sperm harvested from SCP-936-1. RESULT: Pregnancy initially appears to progress normally. However, after ██ weeks, ultrasound reading [DATA EXPUNGED]01. Foetus artificially aborted. Note: This might explain why [DATA EXPUNGED]gmen - Researcher Eisenberg Addendum 936-2: Incident 936-1: On ██/██/19██, one of the D-class personnel tasked with SCP-936-1 harvest, later shown suffering from a rhinovirus infection, transmitted the virus onto at least one SCP-936-1. The infection spread through as of yet unknown means, causing a crop failure SCP-936, heavily delaying research progress. Removal of infected/dead SCP-936-1 successful in halting infection progress.

SCP-937 | safe | A 'hollowed column' instance of SCP-937 Item #: SCP-937 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-937 specimens are to remain at Site-92, located at [REDACTED] in Melanesia. Site-92 is listed by its host government as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is off limits for all but selected personnel, all of whom are Foundation researchers and security staff. SCP-937 hives in the wild are to be quarantined and incinerated. Description: SCP-937 is a strangler fig tree, closely related to Ficus watkinsiana, and has been classified as Ficus formicidae in [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-937 appears very similar to other strangler fig trees for most of its life cycle, although its reproductive process is unique. When SCP-937 matures, it begins to flower and bear fruit, designated SCP-937-2. The flowers are apparently self-pollinating, as opposed to other fig trees. When developed, the "fruit" are insectoid in appearance, with a head, thorax, abdomen and six legs, growing up to five centimeters in length. SCP-937-2 specimens have a convergent anatomy with insects, including a cellulose exoskeleton, spiracles and heart analogues, but lacking a proper digestive tract. SCP-937-2 have leafy growths on the back that resemble wings, with ripe specimens hardening to a flattened wing of fibrous, papery tissue, reminiscent of a maple seed's rotors. SCP-937-2, Forager Subtype Once it is fully developed, an individual will detach itself temporarily and begin to walk around and tend its parent tree. SCP-937-2 will forage for plant and animal matter and use such to fertilize the roots of not only its host plant, but also any other nearby instances of SCP-937. The various subtypes of SCP-937-2 "fruit" behave rather in the manner of ants with the parent SCP-937 functioning as both hive and queen. SCP-937-2 also behave like ants in terms of their aggressive behavior toward anything outside of their species, as well as their sting. The sting induces necrosis at the site very quickly, and the fruit will work together to overwhelm even small mammals. Fortunately, while painful, the sting does not endanger humans and can be averted with proper precautions. Once ripe, SCP-937-2 will climb as high as possible and glide to other trees, where they will germinate as a normal hemiepiphyte, eventually extending roots to the ground and foliage upward. Like other strangler figs, SCP-937 will surround the trees that they germinated on and eventually kill them. This combined with the aggressive nature of SCP-937-2 makes SCP-937 a particularly noxious weed should the species manage to gain a foothold. Experiment Log 937-1: Date: ██/██/19██, ██ months duration Subject: Two SCP-937 specimens, twenty fertilized queens of Atta sexdens Procedure: A large arboretum was constructed at [REDACTED] in Melanesia, where SCP-937 and Atta sexdens were introduced to an established ecology. Details: Three successful leafcutter ant colonies were founded, and began to expand. Both SCP-937 trees matured and bore fruit, which began to forage. The two species ignored each other until the leafcutter ants attempted to harvest leaves from one of the SCP-937 instances. New subtypes of SCP-937-2 matured, and the SCP-937 hives collaborated to eradicate leafcutter colonies and aggressively colonize the area. After ██ weeks, the ant colonies had been exterminated, and much of the island's ecology had been taken over by SCP-937. By order of Dr. ████████, senior researcher for SCP-937, the site was remotely destroyed and incinerated until nothing viable remained. Addendum 937-3: Due to irregularities in soil samples at Site-92, [DATA EXPUNGED], a quarantine for all botanical material is now in place at the site. – Dr. ████████, 4/937 |
SCP-938 | keter | SCP-938 dissociating into atmospheric electrical potential following containment breach, 09-19-1991. Item #: SCP-938 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-938 is to be contained within Capacitor Bank Zero at Bio-Containment and Research Site-06 Bio-Containment and Research Site-07. This bank is to consist of 427,500 EPCOS B4345 capacitors, maintained within Storage Warehouse Zero. Storage Warehouse Zero should be constructed of unreinforced high-strength concrete, its interior walls, floor, and ceiling lined with 5cm of insulating PVC. The structure must be devoid of electrical wiring and systems; lighting should be provided by fiber-optic cables routed underground from adjacent structures. Neither the fiber-optic cables nor their cladding may be electrically conductive. Storage Warehouse Zero should be a minimum of fifty (50) meters from adjacent structures. Capacitor storage racks are to be positioned over the warehouse's built-in floor drains. Capacitors containing SCP-938 appear to seep a dark red fluid, identified as [REDACTED] blood, in a manner visually similar to condensation. This is normal, and not a sign that SCP-938 containment has been breached. This phenomenon may be ignored, provided Storage Warehouse Zero's floor drains remain unobstructed and precautions are taken to ensure this blood does not interfere with capacitors positioned below. Should this phenomenon cease, site command is to be immediately informed of a potential breach of containment. Both the structure and Capacitor Bank Zero should be inspected by four (4) Class D personnel supervised by two (2) Clearance Level Two research personnel and at least one (1) Clearance Level Three security officer weekly or immediately following any electrical storm occurring within twenty (20) kilometers. No electronic devices are to be brought into Storage Warehouse Zero without prior authorization of Level 4 research staff. Personnel implanted with pacemakers or metallic implants are denied access to the facility. Inspection personnel are encouraged to carry secondary chemical light sources as a precaution against total lighting and power failure. Description: SCP-938 is a predatory electrical entity. The entity appears to exist as electrical potential of intensity similar to that which accompanies a moderate electrical storm; SCP-938 frequently travels with such storms. It enters electrical grids through lightning strikes, often causing a temporary loss of power. Upon infiltrating an electrical grid, SCP-938 typically selects a single occupied structure to monitor. While dormant within power grids, the only known indication of SCP-938's presence are anomalous readings by devices sensitive to electromagnetic fields (see below). SCP-938 becomes active upon an electrical storm entering within approximately five kilometers of its current location. Its behavior during this period of activity is characterized by interference with the function of electrical devices (see below) aimed at attracting the attention of individuals within the building. Individuals which attempt to interact with affected devices are electrocuted; in all but two recorded instances, this has resulted in the immediate cessation of all neural impulses. In the aforementioned two instances, only the victims' hearts were stopped; both were successfully resuscitated, and both experienced long-term deleterious effects attributable to SCP-938's assault. See Addendum 11-16-1987 for further information. Shortly afterward, SCP-938 returns to the atmosphere as lightning, rapidly dissociating to electrical potential and returning to its free state. SCP-938 has on at least one occasion vacated an occupied structure without attempting to attract the attention of its residents or visitors, and twice after (successful) efforts which appeared aimed at attracting the attention of singular individuals. Analysis of high-precision electromagnetic field readings indicate anomalous, highly localized intensity fluctuations consistent with human neural activity in the vicinity of SCP-938. Conservative estimates place the lower bound of distinct neural patterns at approximately 100,000. Of the twelve successfully isolated, five indicate average levels of conscious thought, four indicate levels of activity above the norm, consistent with elevated stress levels, and three are consistent with stage N3 NREM sleep. Periodically, SCP-938 will fixate on an individual; these individuals are designated SCP-938-A. Prior to feasibility of containment, SCP-938 was documented pursuing a single target for thirty-six (36) years, eleven (11) months, and six (6) days until the target died of natural causes. The exact traits which prompt SCP-938 to fixate on an individual are unknown. In twelve of nineteen recorded instances, SCP-938-A were documented to suffer from a number of disorders relating to stress or paranoia, including post-traumatic stress disorder, paranoid schizophrenia, and a number of severe phobias; these disorders are likely the result of extended proximity to SCP-938 and not a criterion by which it bases target selection (see Addendum 04-13-1979). Containment history of SCP-938 is available here. Addendum 09-29-1944: The electrical phenomenon commonly known as St. Elmo's Fire provides SCP-938 with a direct route of attack. SCP-938-A [REDACTED] SCP-938. A Foundation personal security detail [REDACTED] suffered acute UV burns and permanent blindness; █ died of resultant infections. Addendum 04-13-1979: Several members of MTF Theta-9 have reported subtle hallucinations and a vague sense of unease while in the vicinity of SCP-938. The most frequently reported hallucination has been irregular clusters of iridescent red eyes watching from poorly illuminated areas, including the shadows of personnel, foliage, and in a handful of reports, the night sky; Agent ███████ remarked he once mistook the phenomenon for stars. It is not believed to be a cause for concern at this time. Note 02-22-1990: Personnel responsible for the routine inspection and maintenance of SCP-938 containment have witnessed similar hallucinations in the vicinity of Capacitor Bank Zero despite no knowledge of MTF Theta-9's reports. Maintenance personnel most often report these as clusters of eyes in the spaces between capacitors. Addendum 03-11-1987: Statistical observation of weather patterns within three thousand (3000) kilometers of SCP-938's confirmed locations, aimed at determining if SCP-938 is capable of altering local weather patterns, has proven inconclusive. Addendum 11-16-1987: The deleterious effects suffered by both known SCP-938 survivors are the erasure of significant stretches of memory and drastic alteration of both individuals' mannerisms and personalities. During subsequent evaluation, both professed to experience persistent feelings of depersonalization and derealization. Medical and psychological evaluation results are available to research personnel on request. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-938" by Adam Smascher, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-939 | keter | Item #: SCP-939 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-939-1, -3, -19, -53, -89, -96, -98, -99, and -109 are kept in Cell 1163-A or 1163-B, 10 m x 10 m x 3 m containment chambers within Armed Bio-Containment Area-14. Both cells are environmentally regulated and negatively pressurized, with walls constructed of reinforced concrete. Access to these cells is regulated by an outer decontamination chamber and inner gas-tight steel security doors. Observation windows are constructed of laminated ballistics glass 10 cm in thickness protected by a 100kV electrified mesh. Humidity is maintained at 100% at a temperature of 16° C. Specimens are monitored at all times via infrared cameras. Level Four authorization is required to access SCP-939, their containment areas, or the observation chambers. SCP-939-101 is dismembered and stored in Cryogenic Preservation Tanks 939-101A to 939-101M within Bio-Research Area-12. Access to SCP-939-101 requires authorization by two Clearance Level 3 personnel, one of which must be present for all research and testing. The contents of only one (1) 939-101 tank may be accessed at any given time. Core temperature of SCP-939-101 tissues must be monitored while removed from cryogenic preservation; should core temperature exceed 10° C, tissues are to be returned to their corresponding tank and all testing suspended for a period of seventy-two (72) hours. Barring core temperature exceeding 10° C, research of SCP-939-101 tissues may continue as long as its ramblings and pleas for release may be tolerated. Containment cells should be cleaned biweekly. While this takes place, SCP-939 specimens will be transferred to the adjacent cell. During this time, the cell's door and observation window must be inspected for damage and repaired or replaced accordingly. Heavy sedation of all SCP-939 is required before any interaction, including transfer between cells and experimentation, may take place. See Document #939-TE4 for transfer and experimentation protocol. Level C Hazmat gear is to be worn by personnel during interactions with SCP-939 specimens and in any areas which SCP-939 have been known to inhabit. Afterward, standard decontamination procedures are to be observed by all personnel involved to ensure no secondary spread of amnestic agents occurs. Following Incident ABCA14-939-3, all non Class D personnel interacting with SCP-939 for any length of time are required to wear two (2) water-proof electronic pulse monitors for the duration of such interaction. These pulse monitors will transmit to a wireless monitoring system independent of a facility's main power grid, with at least one backup power system on standby. Should both an individual's pulse monitors flat-line or otherwise malfunction, the wearer will be presumed dead, personnel instructed to disregard all the wearer's subsequent vocalizations, and a breach of containment declared automatically. Security personnel responding to such a breach are likewise required to wear these pulse monitors. Additionally, all live SCP-939 must be implanted with subdermal tracking devices upon capture. Description: SCP-939 are endothermic, pack-based predators which display atrophy of various systems similar to troglobitic organisms. The skins of SCP-939 are highly permeable to moisture and translucent red, owing to a compound chemically similar to hemoglobin. SCP-939 average 2.2 meters tall standing upright and weigh an average of 250 kg, though weight is highly variable. Each of their four limbs end in three-fingered claws with a fourth, opposable digit, and are covered in setae which considerably augment climbing ability. Their heads are elongated, devoid of even vestigial eyes or eye sockets, and contain no brain casing. The jaws of SCP-939 are lined with red, faintly luminescent fang-like teeth, similar to those belonging to specimens of the genus Chauliodus, up to 6 cm in length, and encircled by heat-sensitive pit organs. Eye spots, sensitive to light and dark, run the length of their spined dorsal ridges. These spines may be up to 16 cm long and are believed to be sensitive to changes in air pressure and flow. SCP-939 do not possess many vital organ systems; central and peripheral nervous systems, circulatory system, and digestive tract are all absent. SCP-939's respiratory system is atrophied and serves no apparent purpose beyond spreading AMN-C227 (see below). SCP-939 have no apparent physiological need to feed, nor any way to digest consumed tissue. Ingested material typically accumulates in the respiratory system of SCP-939 and is regurgitated once the amount is sufficient to markedly inhibit its function. Despite the absence of many vital organ systems, SCP-939 are capable of bearing live young. See Addendum 10-16-1991. SCP-939's primary method of luring prey is the imitation of human speech in the voices of prior victims, though imitation of other species and active nocturnal hunts have been documented. SCP-939 vocalizations often imply significant distress; whether SCP-939 understand their vocalizations or are repeating previously heard phrases is the subject of ongoing study. How SCP-939 acquire voices is not currently understood; specimens have been documented imitating victims despite never hearing the victim speak. Analysis of SCP-939 vocalizations cannot distinguish between SCP-939 and samples of known victims' voices. The use of biometric voice-recognition security or identification systems at any installation housing SCP-939 is strongly discouraged for this reason. Prey is usually killed with a single bite to the cranium or neck; bite forces have been measured in excess of 35 MPa. SCP-939 exhale minute traces of an aerosolized Class C amnestic, designated AMN-C227. AMN-C227 causes temporary anterograde amnesia, inhibiting memory formation for the duration of exposure, plus an average of thirty (30) minutes. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless with an estimated ECt50 for inhalation of 0.0015mg•min/m3. In well-ventilated or open air environments, risk of exposure to ECt50 is greatly reduced but not negligible. AMN-C227 is typically undetectable in the bloodstream sixty (60) minutes following cessation of exposure. Reported sensations of disorientation and mild hallucinations immediately following removal from environments saturated with the agent are similar to recreational use of numerous psychoactive substances and easily mistaken as such. Note 03-23-2005: This report pertains to morphology alpha. For information regarding morphology beta, see [REDACTED] Experiment Log 914, AMTF Nu-7 After Action Report ██-██-████, [REDACTED] Addendum 11-14-1981: A log of radio traffic between capture teams during initial contact with SCP-939 is available here. Addendum 04-11-1982: Due to SCP-939's intense aversion to bright light, it has been deemed a minimal risk of escape. Standard fluorescent hallway lighting is sufficient to deter SCP-939-1 from leaving its darkened cell. See Addendum 09-20-1991. Addendum 06-29-1987: Preliminary research into AMN-C227 suggests potential for use as a general-purpose amnestic. Methods of mass-producing the agent, as well as possible adverse effects, are being investigated at Bio-Containment and Research Site-06. Addendum 10-03-1990: AMN-C227 has been approved for use as a Class C amnestic. Projected annual production at Bio-Research Area-12 by SCP-939 respiratory tissue cultures is expected to surpass three (3) liters. Addendum 09-20-1991: Containment of nine (9) SCP-939 specimens has been compromised following a "Silent Night" breach scenario at Bio-Containment and Research Site-06. Nearby civilian settlements have been evacuated on the pretense of a coming storm. Recovery teams have been deployed to the area. Addendum 10-16-1991: [REDACTED] In light of this, all interaction with SCP-939 from September 8th to October 7th in the Northern Hemisphere or March 6th to April 4th in the Southern Hemisphere is strictly forbidden. [REDACTED] No male specimens of SCP-939 have yet been identified [REDACTED] contain a Class B amnestic [REDACTED] See Reproduction of SCP-939. Addendum 02-20-1992: Effective immediately, use of AMN-C227 as an amnestic is suspended indefinitely. Consult Incident Report AMN-C227-939 for further information. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-939" by Adam Smascher and EchoFourDelta, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-940 | keter | A SCP-940 parasite, in the second stage of infection. Item #: SCP-940 Special Containment Procedures: All known samples of SCP-940 larva are currently in containment. Systematic purging of SCP-940 adult samples from civilians is currently (as of ██/██/████) being spearheaded by a combination of Area-14 Research personnel and Mobile Task Force Omicron-7 ("Orkin"). Samples of Foundation strengthened █████-█-████████ (see documentation regarding 'Agent Blue') are in the process of being added to commercially available insecticides, which is expected to prevent any more 'wild' strains of SCP-940 from arising. All SCP-940 infectees are to be treated as Class 4 Biohazards, and are to be contained and transported under heavy sedation to Area-14, or otherwise terminated. Deceased bodies infected with any SCP-940 strain, regardless of developmental stage, are to be incinerated. Description: SCP-940 is a parasitoid organism with some superficial similarities to troglobitic members of the class Arachnida. Adult specimens are highly agile and possess leg spans from four to seven meters; due to the difficulty in separating SCP-940 from their hosts (see below), average weight and body size are moot considerations. Each of their eight translucent legs is dotted regularly with six types of specialized sensory organs—IR-sensitive pit organs; ampullae of Lorenzini; compound and non-compound eyes sensitive to UV; and two additional organs of indeterminate function—and end in large tarsal claws, possessing scopulae and setules common amongst species of hunting spiders and allowing them to climb sheer vertical surfaces with ease. SCP-940 possess a radial nerve net similar to Asteroidea, or the common starfish, and no central nervous system; the possibility that SCP-940 rely on their host's brainpower for processing of external stimuli cannot be ruled out at this time. Infection occurs following exposure to body fluids containing SCP-940 eggs and larvae. The lifecycle of SCP-940, from initial infection to maturity, is as follows: Treatment with intravenous anti-parasitic compound is possible, if administered prior to infection advancing to Stage 3. Addendum: Stage Six and above adult SCP-940 samples, when not attempting to conceal their identities, are extremely agile and capable predators. Through the use of their powerful limbs and multiple sensory organs, they are highly adept at evading capture; field agents are to be highly cautious and equipped with MOPP-4 gear at all times to prevent infection, and Foundation-issued nerve gas grenades for suppression purposes. Incident Log 940-01 – hide block Incident 940-01 SCP-940, in utero, recovered from subject D-940-05 on ██/██/████. On ██/██/████, Assistant Researcher S████ failed to return a live sample of SCP-940 larvae to cold storage, instead allowing the sample to remain unattended in the lab for approximately forty-five minutes while on lunch break. The resulting breach of containment resulted in seven SCP-940 infections amongst research and security personnel, and another five in D-Class personnel. The affected wing of Area-14 was isolated for decontamination, and infected Foundation personnel administered intravenous anti-parasitic compound. All received treatment within six hours of infection and made full recoveries. Infected D-Class personnel were isolated for observation so as to establish a progression of SCP-940 infection and determine for how long it remains treatable. Observations of subjects D-940-01, D-940-02, and D-940-03 form the basis of the infection's given progression above. Subject D-940-04 is the only infectee that did not follow the above reported progression, due to multiple larvae reaching maturity. D-940-04 was terminated three weeks into the process, when the accelerated symptoms resulted in her progression to Stage 7, completely bypassing Stages 5 and 6. Subject D-940-05 was initially believed to be uninfected, displaying no symptoms of SCP-940 infection after three weeks. A full examination found D-940-05 to be pregnant; the unborn fetus was infected. The fetus, D-940-06, was allowed to mature. D-940-05 was kept unaware of its condition. Both expired when the legs of SCP-940 penetrated D-940-05's uterus. D-940-06 is preserved, kept in cryogenic storage at Armed Bio-Containment Area-14 for study. |
SCP-941 | euclid | Lot of recovered vehicles infected by SCP-941, seized during initial containment operations. Item #: SCP-941 Special Containment Procedures: All objects afflicted by SCP-941 are kept in a secure garage within the motor division of Site-77, disassembled to individual components when not being tested. A science team supervised by Assistant Director of Medicine Vayl has been assigned to investigate SCP-941 from an epidemiological and behavioralist perspective, with special attention paid to cases indicating potentially novel strains or actions taken by SCP-941 infected vehicles. Any research indicating SCP-941 being capable of crossing over to diesel vehicles is to be treated as a Class V Biohazard threat, and any potential vectors for cross-infection are to be destroyed immediately. Mobile Task Force Psi-7 "Home Improvement" has been assigned to assess and secure structures identified as infection vectors. Because SCP-941 was already widespread in certain regions at the time of its initial discovery, it currently continues to exist in small numbers in the general vehicle population. As such, containment field agents are focused on suppression of information regarding SCP-941 through previously utilized disinformation techniques. Foundation-owned vehicles are to be, whenever possible, diesel-fueled or electrically powered. SCP-1894 has been demonstrated as being immune to SCP-941, a fact discovered during accidental contact, as such it has been earmarked as a potential failsafe vehicle in the event of a mass-containment failure resulting in widespread infection. Description: SCP-941 is a viral phenomenon affecting gasoline-powered automobiles designed for human transportation. Infected machines will indicate a variety of malfunctions, typically manifesting over a period of three to five days, then fading over a similar timeframe. SCP-941 afflicted devices are permanently contagious following infection, even after the symptomatic phase ends. Although no actual mechanical errors have been known to manifest in SCP-941 infected machines, drivers will report hearing unusual noises and changes in the 'feel' of the vehicle during normal operations. In addition, when affected machines are tested in harsh terrain, climates or used for more than three hours, they may cease operations entirely without apparent cause. Electronic systems such as GPS, or screen-based control consoles in newer vehicles, may exhibit unusual graphical and auditory glitches. Navigational equipment will attempt to steer the user away from highly-trafficked areas or the aforementioned extreme terrain and change the user's destination to car washes, high-end parking garages or auto dealerships. SCP-941 spreads to other automobiles through direct contact and proximity. Foundation research has shown that automobiles kept in adjacent space to SCP-941-positive machines may begin displaying symptoms which fade over time, or occur intermittently. This phenomenon has only been shown in controlled experiments and has not been observed in the wild. Biological matter is currently believed to be a factor in the expression of SCP-941's effect, as testing of vehicles directed by non-human elements such as automaton crash-test dummies and SCP-1872 have shown SCP-941 activates only if directly or indirectly controlled by human drivers. Although the only Foundation-known means of detecting SCP-941 infection is the ability of one vehicle to infect others, it is known that there must be another means of detection. SCP-1727 will refuse service to any SCP-941 afflicted vehicle, giving a message reading 'NO BREAKS, FAKES OR PHONIES'. History: SCP-941 was first observed by quality-control engineers employed by the DeLorean Motor Company(DMC) during initial engineering of the gull-wing doors used in their product. Notes from this period mention a distinctive semi-organic compound secreted during manufacturing, as well as frequent breakdowns and failures on the assembly line. Foundation assets first became aware of SCP-941 after collated traffic reports involving the DMC's vehicles were flagged as being potentially anomalous in nature. Follow-up operations confirmed this suspicion, and all known infected vehicles were impounded by Foundation agents through the guise of multiple recalls. Disinformation campaigns against the DMC centered around ties to organized crime combined with the recall efforts resulted in the shuttering of the corporation. As of the present date, no other production line has been observed to carry SCP-941, and the initial infection source is unknown. Addendum: During testing on 1/27/2019, Assistant Director Vayl was conducting an experiment in SCP-941's ability to spread through non-contact means. During inspection of the third-party GPS system, a control vehicle initiated direct communications. This effect has not been found in any subsequent experiment, nor had it manifested in previous ones. Following this interview, the vehicle was re-tested and showed no trace of SCP-941 infection. Interviewed: American-made sedan (Identified as 941-V) Interviewer: Assistant Director Caleigh Amity Vayl Foreword: Interview occurred during observation of the vehicle's interior. The standard battery of control experiments had been run on a daily basis for several weeks prior to this event. 941-V spoke with a feminine voice throughout the interview. <Begin Log> Vayl: <humming> Test time, test time. Engine's fired up. Test time, test time, dum hm hm hm hmmm… SCP-941-V: Voice navigation activated. Turn left onto Stationary Street. Vayl: … De-activate navigation? SCP-941-V: Sorry, didn't quite get that. Make a U-Turn and park on the Exit Ramp. Vayl: Calm down, darned thing. I haven't even turned over the engine. How the heck do you turn this dang thing off… plugged into the cigarette lighter? No, no, hmm. Do newer cars even have those anymore? I hope not. Focus, focus… de-activate navigation, please? SCP-941-V: Sorry, that isn't going to work. There are several walk-in clinics and urgent care facilities nearby, which would you like to navigate to? Vayl: … Hm. If you're feeling symptoms, tell me about them. SCP-941-V: Starting point in… Hurt, Virginia. Maintenance required. Please try again… tomorrow. Vayl: Anything more specific? I'd love to give a more specific diagnosis. We're testing for a virus that spreads among autos… such as yourself, but I'm quite certain you haven't been infected. SCP-941-V: Navigation can begin tomorrow. Please confirm your coordinates to Ten Sleep, Wyoming. Vayl: <turns engine over> See here, look. I'm not hearing any rattling or screeching. You're fine. If you've got anything, I'm sure it's going to be mild. Can you really understand me? If you're not one of these sick-o-mobiles, there's a lot we could talk about. SCP-941-V: At the light, remain in your lane to turn into the parking lot. Vayl: I think I get what you're telling me here. I don't like working when there's a bug in me either. I'll level with you, if you're not going to talk to us, there are people out there who will pick you apart trying to figure out what's happening here. SCP-941-V: At the following intersection, make a sharp left onto Shades of Death road. Vayl: That doesn't sound like a real road. I hope you're not trying to be threatening. SCP-941-V: An unexpected error occurred. Please see manufacturer about resting and refurbishing your machine. Further activity may result in injury due to exhaust and <unintelligible vocal garbling, engine dies>. <15 Second Pause> Vayl: <Attempts to start engine> Shucks. Any chance I could convince you to get on with our program here? There's an awful lot we could learn if you've got something new here. We could treat you well. SCP-941-V: Thank you. Goodbye. <End Log> Note: I can smell a faker before they get to the examination room. Want this one returned to the testing pool for further testing as soon as it's fully inspected. — Deputy Director of Medicine Vayl Closing Statement: Follow-up testing has been authorized by Director Gillespie. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-941" by Leicontis, rewritten by Anonymous, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-942 | safe | Item#: 0942 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-942-2 is to be stored in a locked safe-deposit box at Site ██'s Low Risk Object Storage. Access is to be limited to experiments with prior written permission from the current SCP-942 lead researcher.1 Any personnel affected by SCP-942-1 must remain within Foundation controlled facilities at all times. Contact with civilians, personnel without level 2 clearance on SCP-942, or other anomalous items is strictly forbidden for affected personnel. Affected personnel are to be given a higher priority for psychological screening and aid. Any civilians affected by SCP-942-1 are to be recruited or terminated with suitable cover stories on a case-by-case basis as no cure is available at this time. If additional instances of SCP-942-2 are encountered, the object is to be retrieved as soon as possible and the surrounding area checked for affected subjects. Destruction of additional instances of SCP-942-2 is authorised if retrieval proves infeasible. Description: SCP-942-1 are colored gumballs of standard (2.53cm) size. From the moment an instance of SCP-942-1 is ingested, the consumer's bodily fluids will take on the appearance of blood upon leaving the subject's body. The fluids will coagulate like normal blood and are indistinguishable from blood by sight, smell, or touch. However, observation by means other than the aforementioned, such as chemical analysis or infrared spectroscopy, will indicate the original substance. Other than coagulation the fluids show no anomalous reactions or chemical processes. The subject's actual blood, and the properties of bodily fluids while remaining inside the body appear to be unaffected. The nasal cavity and the surface of the eye are not entirely free from the effect, resulting in the appearance of blood-shot eyes, tears of blood, and a constant low-intensity nosebleed in affected subjects. Regions prone to sweating such as toes or armpits will be covered near-perpetually in crusts of dried blood, and affected subjects have reported considerable discomfort during urination. Subjects have been known to suffer panic attacks after exposure. It is believed these are mundane reactions to the effects of the object, and not anomalously caused by the object itself. This includes panic attacks where subjects will attempt to remove the excess blood, in some cases leading to severe bodily harm and dehydration. Obsession with personal hygiene and hypochondria are also to be considered mundane reactions. SCP-942-2 is a small bubble gum dispenser for home use of a model produced by [REDACTED]. SCP-942-2 is unremarkable in all respects other than its apparently infinite supply of SCP-942-1. Preliminary testing has shown that the dispenser can be damaged normally and is primarily composed of an unremarkable plastic. Due to the ease of containment, destructive testing has been halted to avoid negating the anomalous effects. Research into how the dispenser refills its supply of SCP-942-1 is ongoing. The words “Try something different today! Sweet and candy-red!” are engraved on the underside. Footnotes 1.

SCP-943 | safe | Item #: SCP-943 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-943 is to be stored in a secure lockbox in a High Security Containment Vault, accessible only to Level 2 or higher personnel. For purposes of interrogation, Level 1 personnel may request access to SCP-943, but the request must be approved by Level 2 personnel, and the individual signing SCP-943 out must record a date, time, location of use, and appropriate protective measures taken to preserve SCP-943's integrity. Failure to do so will result in all personnel involved having their service records subject to immediate review and penalties of demotion or termination for those found negligent. Description: SCP-943 is a band of unidentified metal, adjustable through a sliding mechanism to become anywhere from 5cm in diameter, to 38cm in diameter. The band bears inscribings along its outside surface reading in English: "That Justice may flow like water". When placed onto a human subject's arm, the device appears to induce visual, auditory, and tactile hallucinations in a staggered pattern. In all cases, the hallucinations appear to be of an event that is connected to the subject in some way. Invariably, the subject is connected in a way that makes them the aggressor, and in the induced hallucinations, the subject assumes the role of victim. All recorded hallucinations have been of conflict, and are documented in Experiment Log 943-1 through Experiment Log 943-3. Addendum: In each experiment, the subject was prepared by repeatedly reminding them of the crime that caused their incarceration, causing it to be foremost in their minds prior to the beginning of the recording. Experiment Recording 943-1 Subject D-39393 is guilty of multiple incidents of embezzlement as an employee of a Foundation cover company. Dr. Heiden: D-39393, put on the bracelet. D-39393: You can't make me do this, you know! I'm a citizen of ██████████████████████████████! Dr. Heiden: Actually, D-39393, we can, according to the terms of your employment agreement. You know, the one that you never read because of the big number on the first page. D-39393: [splutters incoherently] Uh, ah, that doesn't mean anything! You still can't do this! I'm a person, not cattle for you to use! Dr. Heiden: I am aware you are not livestock. Now put on the bracelet, and you'll be on your way to repaying the $██,███,███ you owe. D-39393: You never proved that! You can't prove any of that! Dr. Heiden: D-39393, you will be sedated and the bracelet will be placed on you if you continue to resist. Now put on the bracelet. D-39393: Fuck you! You won't do that, you can't do th- [At this point, Foundation security personnel neutralized D-39393 with a stun baton and strapped him into the chair nearby, waiting until D-39393 regained consciousness before placing SCP-943 on his arm.] Dr. Heiden: The debt repaid by your participation has been reduced by ten percent due to your refusal to cooperate, Mr. ███████. Further refusal will result in accordingly more severe dockings. Now, tell me how you feel. D-39393: Uh… I don't feel anything, really. A bracelet on my arm, now… the hell is that thing, anyway? Dr. Heiden: Just keep giving me updates, Mr. ███████. D-39393: I… I guess I feel a little nervous. No, a lot nervous… God, what is this thing? Dr. Heiden: You're doing well, keep it up. [The subject is sweating profusely and has an elevated heart rate.] D-39393: I am so, so fucked… [D-39393 begins to sob softly] [D-39393 continues in this vein for approximately five and a half minutes.] D-39393: Oh, man… man… [D-39393 perks up slightly] Wait - shh, did you hear that? Fuck… Dr. Heiden: What do you hear, D-39393? D-39393: …uh, voices… real faint, though, trying to hear 'em. Dr. Heiden: Continue, Mr. ███████. D-39393: Yeah, yeah… hey, how's it going? God, it sounds like I'm back at work… just a bunch of noise. Dr. Heiden: Subject appears to be switching from talking to the voices addressing him and myself. [Approximately three minutes pass, the subject muttering rapidly to nothing in particular before his voice rises again] D-39393: Yeah… no, I hadn't seen the budg- gah! Sorry, I didn't see you there… you want to show me a ledger? Well, alright… Uh, no, I don't know what happened… no, of course not. No, no, it wasn't me! I don't know where the fuck it went! Dr. Heiden: Mr. ███████, can you hear me? Hello? D-39393: Please, it wasn't me! …what? Tell the Overseers? Me? Dr. Heiden: Note for the record - D-39393 ought not have been aware of the existence of O-5 level personnel, considering his position held prior to becoming D-class personnel. D-39393: [his voice rising to a shriek] No, I am not telling the Overseers that we're missing over █████████████████████ when I had nothing to do with this! You do it! I'm not going to get turned into Keter-bait because of some fucking accounting error! We've got to find where the fuck this went before they do! Dr. Heiden: Terminating recording, the subject has clearly demonstrated all three stages of hallucinatory patterns. D-39393 will remain under Foundation control until his debt is repaid… Experiment 943-1 has erased $███,███ of his debt to the Foundation, less ten percent. LEVEL 4 EYES ONLY: Subject D-39393 cannot be removed from Foundation employment, having demonstrated knowledge of O-5 level personnel in this experiment and a marked unethical bent in the actions leading to his incarceration. Current recommendation upon release is termination. Experiment Recording 943-2 Subject D-14454 was convicted of sexually abusing and murdering a seven-year-old child. Dr. Heiden: D-14454, put on the bracelet. D-14454: Naw, I don't have to do that. Put me back in my cell, I want my lawyer. Dr. Heiden: You will not be afforded the luxury of a lawyer, D-14454. Put on the bracelet or you will be terminated by Foundation security staff. I've reviewed your records, and believe me: I will not hesitate. D-14454: You- you know why I'm in? Dr. Heiden: Yes, I know exactly what you are. D-14454: Y-you can't tell them, they'll kill me. Dr. Heiden: That is my prerogative, D-14454. Put on the bracelet. D-14454: O… okay, just don't tell them, right? [D-14454 puts the bracelet on] D-14454: [noticeably softer] I'm afraid, Doctor… Dr. Heiden: Restrain the subject. [Security staff wrestle D-14454 into a seat and strap the subject in] D-14454: Oh, God! Get away! Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Help! Why won't anyone help?! [Security staff back away, D-14454 pants for breath] D-14454: No, no, no… no, no, no, no, no, no, no… no… Dr. Heiden: What is it, D-14454? D-14454: I don't know! [D-14454 begins to cry] D-14454: I just… I just know there's something… something that's gonna get me! Dr. Heiden: Elaborate, D-14454. D-14454: Shh. Shhhh, it'll find me! I… I think I can hear it! [D-14454 recoils in his seat, pressing himself as deeply into the steel frame as possible] D-14454: [whispering] Doctor, get me out of here, please, please… Dr. Heiden: The experiment is not complete, D-14454. We will proceed. D-14454: Shhh! [Four minutes pass] D-14454: It's getting closer, we've got to get out of here! We have to lea- [D-14454's eyes widen and he stops speaking for a moment.] D-14454: It heard me! It heard me! It heard me! [D-14454 begins struggling against the chair's restraints] D-14454: It can see me! Dr. Heiden: D-14454, what do you see? What is 'it'? D-14454: It's got me! No! No, no, no, n- [Subject D-14454 expired due to a myocardial infarction at this point, and ceased communication.] Experiment Log 943-3 Subject D-31415 was convicted of murder in the second degree. Dr. Heiden: The bracelet, D-31415. D-31415: This thing? [D-31415 picks up and examines the bracelet] D-31415: …'that justice may flow like water'… hah. Really, Doctor? You're using me as a test subject on this? Dr. Heiden: Yes, we are, D-31415. Put the bracelet on or it will be put on you. D-31415: Whatever. It wasn't my fault, I should be a free man. I told you I'm innocent. Dr. Heiden: Yes, you did, D-31415. Now put the bracelet on. [D-31415 puts on the bracelet and sits in the provided seat. Security personnel strap him to the chair.] Dr. Heiden: How do you feel? D-31415: No different than I did a minute ago. Dr. Heiden: And how did you feel then? D-31415: Angry that I'm here… scared, too. Dr. Heiden: Very good. Detail any changes to us, please. [Three minutes pass] Dr. Heiden: I remind you, D-31415, that cooperation is not optional. D-31415: Nothing's changed! I'm strapped in a really uncomfortable chair, and you've got this thing on my arm, and it sucks! What do you want me to say? Dr. Heiden: …that will be all, D-31415. D-31415: Fine by me. [Eight minutes pass] Dr. Heiden: Nothing new, D-31415? D-31415: No! Dr. Heiden: Terminating experiment and returning D-31415 to quarters. LEVEL 4 EYES ONLY: D-31415 was taken into custody after killing an Agent in self-defense during an attempted emergency commandeering of the subject's vehicle. Agent ███████████ attempted to commandeer D-31415's vehicle during a severe containment breach of SCP-███, causing its release into a nearby town. D-31415 was a licensed firearms carrier and fired three rounds into Agent ███████████'s chest, killing ███ instantly. D-31415 was apprehended shortly afterwards, and Agent ███████████'s remains were recovered. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-943" by Heiden, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-944 | euclid | Inside SCP-944, prior to containment Item #: SCP-944 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-944 is to be surrounded by a 3 m high opaque fence, both to prevent outside access and to allow experimentation unobserved by the public. SCP-944 is officially listed as a condemned building, and “Construction Area” signs are posted to explain the fenced-off area. Level 1 agents wearing ███ █████ Amusement Park security uniforms are to guard the area and prevent unauthorized access. Non-D-Class personnel entering SCP-944 are cautioned to follow the blue floor lines, indicating safe paths. The “Hall of Fun” is off-limits, due to possible exposure to anomalous effects. D-Class personnel must be outfitted with subcutaneous GPS location transmitters before being permitted to enter SCP-944. Description: SCP-944 is a single-story building outfitted as a “mirror maze,” formerly an attraction at ███ █████ Amusement Park in ███████, ██████. After a number of anomalous effects were observed, the building was secured by the Foundation. As the effect appears to be localized, the remainder of the Park is open to the public. Periodically, individuals entering SCP-944 are capable of walking off the intended paths through the maze and into the mirrors. Despite extensive experimentation, the Foundation has been unable to predict when and where anomalies will occur, or the effects of walking through them. In addition, the distorting mirrors found in the “Hall of Fun” are sometimes capable of producing permanent distortions in the people viewing them.1 SCP-944 was built in 2006 and operated normally until Incident 944-U-1 occurred. It is unknown what initiated SCP-944’s anomalous behavior. Incident 944-U-1: Date: █/██/201█ █████ █████, a 53-year-old male, emerged from the maze, claiming to have been lost in the maintenance tunnels for three days. SCP-944 does not contain maintenance tunnels. Subject treated for dehydration and released. Park security assumed individual was intoxicated and details of incident were imaginary. Incident 944-U-2: Date: █/█/201█ █ ████ ████████, a 12-year-old boy, found severely injured in maze Hallway B, with third-degree burns to hands and feet. Subject claimed to have been detained in a windowless brick room for approximately seven hours, by an individual calling himself “Zippo the Pyromaniac Clown,” who burned and [DATA EXPUNGED] the victim. Victim recalls being told “It’s all part of the show, kid.” SCP-944 does not contain the area described by the victim. Extensive police search for perpetrator yielded no results. Incident 944-U-3: Date: ██/██/201█ ███ ███████, 24-year-old female, emerged from maze 101.6 cm (3’ 4”) tall after pausing before a “shrinking mirror” in the maze’s “Hall of Fun.” Subject was 175 cm (5’ 9”) on entering maze. Foundation personnel intercepted police report of this incident. Area secured; Class-B amnestics administered. SCP status established and containment initiated. Additional investigation revealed that █ individuals are missing after entering SCP-944. Addendum: Post-Containment Experimentation Use of robot drones to navigate SCP-944 does not appear to trigger anomalous effects. Therefore, use of D-Class personnel in experiments is approved. Experiment 944-C-1: Date: █/█/201█ Subject D-12154 allowed to walk randomly through SCP-944. Subject observed to walk through Mirror 22, Hallway C and disappear. GPS tracking indicated D-12154 was 700 miles away, in █████, ██. Subject recaptured, and claimed to have walked out of a mirror in the █████ Hotel ballroom. Mirror 22 appeared non-anomalous when examined after incident. Experiment 944-C-2: Date: █/██/201█ Subject D-21332 allowed to enter SCP-944. Subject walked into Mirror 5, Hallway A. Security team dispatched after hearing subject screaming. D-21332 observed trapped in/behind mirror (unable to determine which). Mirror broken during attempted extraction of D-class. [DATA EXPUNGED]. Experiment 944-C-3: Date: ██/██/201█ D-23187 ordered to enter SCP-944. Subject observed to walk through Mirror 15, Hallway B. Subject found in front of Mirror 15, Hallway C, deceased, entirely coated with thin layer of glass. Mirrors found intact and appeared to be non-anomalous. Experiment 944-C-4: Date: ██/██/201█ D-24110 ordered to enter SCP-944, and follow blue-lined path to “Hall of Fun.” Subject found collapsed in Hall of Fun; height extended to 229 cm and [DATA EXPUNGED]; remotely extracted. Subject expired after 10 minutes due to massive organ damage. Footnotes 1. Similar to SCP-1225, many of these distortions result in the degradation of the object/subject. |
SCP-945 | euclid | Item #: SCP-945 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-945 is to remain sealed and locked inside a steel chest, in a 3m x 3m cell at Storage Site ██. The cell is under video surveillance and the walls are carved with deep, irregular patterns to hinder escape. Any staff who have had contact with SCP-945 or its creations must be registered with on-site security. The contents of SCP-945 should be counted and logged 24 hours after the monthly D-class termination, or after the death of any staff who have previously had contact with SCP-945 or any of its creations. SCP-945-1 is to be contained in a locked glass case separate from SCP-945. If SCP-945-1 is not found within its case the Site is to be immediately locked down for a security sweep. Description: SCP-945 is a rough wooden Egyptian shawabti box dating from approximately 1500-1300 BCE, currently holding 186 clay shawabti figures which have been recently sculpted, designated SCP-945-2 to SCP-945-187. When the Foundation became aware of SCP-945 there was only a single ancient figurine within the box, designated SCP-945-1. In addition to the obvious age of SCP-945-1, it is distinct for being the only figure that bears any inscriptions. As the box was originally designed to hold a full set of 401 figurines, it is theorized that some of the originals may still exist outside of containment. The inscriptions on SCP-945 and SCP-945-1 are invocations to call the shawabti figurines forth to do the labor of deceased individuals. It was previously believed that these phrases must be read aloud to activate SCP-945, however the box and figurines within have since demonstrated their ability to act on their own in regards to any person who has come in contact with them. After an individual who had previous contact with SCP-945 passes away, SCP-945-1 will vanish. Within the next 24 hours, a crude clay replica of the deceased individual will manifest within a one mile radius of SCP-945. The replica tends to appear near SCP-945 or in the former living area of the deceased individual. The replica will manifest by stepping out of an appropriately sized flat surface, usually on a wall or closed door. Replicas have been observed traveling from one location to another by stepping into a wall and re-manifesting elsewhere. If any other applicable individuals pass away, the initial replica will begin sculpting new shawabti figurines to place inside SCP-945. Once the new figurines have been placed in the box clay replicas of the other individuals will manifest. The replicas will display the basic properties of the deceased individuals they are based upon. They have memories and knowledge relevant to the profession of the individual, and the basic physical capabilities required to perform their tasks. Although they can speak, see, hear and smell, their facial features are inanimate. The figures are not anatomically correct, but prefer to wear the clothes or work uniform of the deceased. A replica will go about the daily business of the deceased, giving priority to any unfinished work left behind at the time of death. If accosted, the replica will respond in a polite manner and insist that it be allowed to complete its tasks so that the deceased "may rest comfortably in the next world." When supervised, replicas will behave passively, although they will follow orders and use violence within the course of their duty as applicable. Their performance has been described as adequate. Although they feel no pain they are merely dried clay and can be destroyed with appropriate force or by breaking their corresponding shawabti. If the first replica is destroyed, SCP-945-1 will reappear inside SCP-945 until it activates again. Addendum: Replicas actively attempt to kill living beings when left unsupervised, for the purpose of increasing their numbers. This behavior even extends to non-humans, especially cats. During Incident SCP-945-7b, replicas managed to overwhelm and replace the entire staff of Storage Site ██ during a test to determine if SCP-945's creations could be used to offset the Foundation's high turnover rate. The initial replica smothered two security guards in their sleep and pushed a senior researcher down a flight of stairs while directing suspicion towards D-class personnel. As more replicas were created, they began to coordinate their actions to create a series of accidents and containment breaches that allowed them to increase their numbers sufficiently to overrun the remaining survivors. After taking the site, the replicas maintained it and kept all other local SCPs contained according to proper procedures. The site was reclaimed without casualties—replicas lacked the training and equipment to resist Mobile Task Force ██ and used predictable tactics from basic security manuals, showing none of the cunning that was involved in the site's takeover. It has been theorized that SCP-945's creations will cease making new figurines once the full set of 401 has been restored, therefore it is not recommended to destroy any new figurines created during a containment breach. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-945" by Sorts, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-946 | euclid | Item#: SCP-946 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-946 is to be kept in the center of a 5 m x 5 m x 5 m windowless, soundproofed containment chamber. The only light source in the room is to be a single spotlight, situated directly above SCP-946. Cameras and audio recording devices monitor SCP-946 at all times to ensure all SCP-946 activity is recorded. A minimum of one skilled debater is to remain on call at all times. Anyone who observes a debate between SCP-946-1 and SCP-946-2 where classified Foundation information is revealed for which they do not have clearance is to be administered Class A Amnestics. Description: SCP-946 is a wooden table with two accompanying chairs. At unpredictable intervals, ranging from 2 to 4 times per week, two men will appear (designated SCP-946-1 and SCP-946-2), taking the two seats. SCP-946-1 and SCP-946-2 will then have a civil argument or debate about a random subject. The topic of these arguments has varied from existential concepts to trivial and mundane subjects. In some circumstances, these debates have focused on a hypothetical event, and the merits of its occurrence. In these cases, the outcome of the argument manifests itself in reality. At any time during the debate, an outside observer may join the debate, with a new chair appearing at the table and the dimensions of the table altering to fit all parties. Should any of the "guests" make an ad hominem argument or make an intentionally false or misleading statement, SCP-946-1 will criticize them. If they continue, SCP-946-1 will state that they are no longer welcome in the debate, at which point their chair will disappear. Any further attempts for this subject to communicate with SCP-946-1 or -2 will be ignored. Following Incident 946-██ (See Addendum 2), it has become clear that SCP-946-1 and SCP-946-2 appear to possess omniscience, or, at minimum, any knowledge that may be relevant to the discussion. SCP-946-1 and SCP-946-2 appear, physically, to be normal humans. SCP-946-1 is a tall black man with short grey hair and a long beard, who is referred to as "Harmon". SCP-946-2 is a thin bald white man, who is referred to as "Garcian". When arguing, both men seem capable of creating three-dimensional images and summoning small objects as a means of simulating events or providing information. Addendum 1: On 07/24/████ (See Incident Report 946-12), SCP-946-1 and SCP-946-2 requested that SCP-946 never be exposed to multiple light sources during one of their debates. In the event that it is exposed to multiple light sources, all but one light source will fail. It is unknown how SCP-946 achieves the selective nature of this effect. Prior to this request, SCP-946 did not exhibit this behavior. Upon questioning, SCP-946-2 explained that a debate had led to the conclusion that a single light source “improves the mood”. Addendum 2: Incident Report 946-██: On 04/08/████, SCP-946-1 and SCP-946-2's discussion shifted focus unexpectedly to the subject of gravity. The debate included mention of several concepts in theoretical physics, including String Theory, [REDACTED], and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Both men seemed familiar with concepts barely understood by modern science, as well as a previously undemonstrated knowledge of several highly classified Foundation documents, most notably SCP-536's testing logs. SCP-946-1 was arguing against the existence of gravity, while SCP-946-2 considered and commented on his arguments. Roughly fourteen minutes into the discussion, on-duty researcher Dr ███████ entered SCP-946's containment chamber and joined the debate. On later questioning, Dr ███████ claimed he was simply "stopping a potential disaster". He argued that without gravity, the universe as a whole would cease to exist in its current form. SCP-946-1 responded by pointing out that the future form could easily be superior. SCP-946-2 agreed with Dr ███████, who continued to argue with SCP-946-1 for nearly two hours before, frustrated, SCP-946-1 gave up. Containment procedures updated in light of this event. Object Class upgrade to Keter pending approval. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-946" by PureQuestion, from the SCP Wiki.

This drive is currently stored in a secure locker in the Site-42 Digital Armory. Junior Researcher Gautam Ramesh is currently working with Mobile Task Force Upsilon-4 ("Sugar Pill") to develop a countermemetic agent for SCP-947. Description: SCP-947 is a contagious, memetic expletive defined by its creator as meaning "a really fake, annoying person or thing that you wish would just naff off already"[sic]. Any English speaker who hears or reads SCP-947 will automatically understand its definition, know the name of its creator, and begin to incorporate it into their vocabulary. Over time, affected individuals will gradually replace all expletives in their vocabulary with SCP-947. SCP-947 first came to the attention of the Foundation on 30 June 2017, when it was used in tweets by members of the British Cabinet. The anomalous properties of SCP-947 were immediately recognized due to the insertion of its creator's name. An investigation of the Cabinet's social media activity traced the meme to a tweet made by one Gautam Ramesh, an Indian immigrant living with his parents in Leeds, England. Ramesh sent the initial infection vector via Twitter and Facebook to the social media accounts of several British defense contractors, where it rapidly spread and was able to infect the British Cabinet within two days. Ramesh's initial tweet was as follows: You Should Check Out This Cool Technology Or Youll Look Like A [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] [sic] His Facebook post was as follows: Hi All, Ive Just Come Up With A Very Cool New Technology: IDEAS IN WORDS. Help Me Spread The Word Or Youll Look Like Real [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] ' [sic] At this time, SCP-947 is used by approximately ██% of all English speakers worldwide. Addendum: Interview with Gautam Ramesh + Show interview log - Close interview log Shortly after the identification of SCP-947's anomalous properties, Gautam Ramesh was brought in for an interview. Junior Researcher Ashwin Pichai was chosen to interview him due to Pichai's previous exposure to SCP-947. Date: 4 July, 2017 Interviewer: Dr. Pichai [BEGIN LOG] [EXTRANEOUS INTRODUCTIONS OMITTED] Dr. Pichai: Anyways, I'd like to ask you about the word [EXPLETIVE REDACTED]. Ramesh: Oh, uh, yeah, sure. Uh, what do you want to know? Dr. Pichai: Well - how does it work? There's nothing else even remotely like it that exists in the world. Ramesh: Oh, yeah yeah yeah. This is pretty cool stuff, I mean. So, uh, the human brain is like a computer, yeah? Dr. Pichai: Yes. Ramesh: So, if the brain is a computer, maybe you can program it like one. That's pretty much what language is, if you think about it. You teach people through, like, writing and speaking and feed them knowledge and that sort of thing. And you feed people information through speaking and writing and they process it automatically. So I was thinking about that one day, and I was wondering, the brain is like a computer right? So maybe you could create a brain virus. Uh, I mean, a computer virus. For like the brain. Not like, a real virus like, uh, Ebola or something. Something that when you hear it, you automatically process it and start replicating it. Dr. Pichai: I see. That sounds a lot like a meme. Ramesh: Yeah, actually! Something like, uh, 'Keep Calm and Carry On'. Well, actually, that's a bad example. Something like… hmm… Dr. Pichai: Don't worry. I know what you mean. But those kinds of memes are just things that are easy to remember or fun to parrot. [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] doesn't just do that, it actively hijacks the brain. Making people only use it as a swear even if they try to say something else. How did you accomplish that? Ramesh: Language is the key thing, right? When you hear a new word, you have to remember what it means. The word is meaningless by itself - you also need to know the meaning or the context of the word for it to do anything. But once you know the meaning, the brain automatically processes that word to have that meaning in the future. So the trick is figuring out how to make the word encode the meaning in and of itself. And if you can do that, then you can encode a lot more stuff into it. Stuff like making the brain want to use it as a curse word exclusively. The breakthrough was [DATA REDACTED BY ORDER OF DEPARTMENT OF MEMETICS] and so once I had the actual, uh, software, I just needed to wrap it up in an actual word and give it a meaning. I also encoded my name in it. You know, as a watermark. Dr. Pichai: Speaking of languages, we've noticed that people who don't speak or understand English are unaffected by the word. Why is that? Ramesh: So, going back to the computer analogy, right, you know what a programming language is? This is basically the same thing. [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] is a program written in English, so your brain needs to be able to run English to run it. Dr. Pichai: So why did you pick [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] specifically? Why that meaning in particular? Ramesh: I mean… I'm looking for a job. Programming the human brain is cool but you know what the economy's been like. I thought the military or the government would be pretty interested in this kind of thing, yeah? [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] is a proof of concept. It's pretty harmless and even helpful - it stops people from using actually harmful swears and like, racial slurs. But if you can do that, you could do stuff like, perhaps, hypnotize terrorists and stuff. Like, actually hypnotize them. So I was trying to get the government's attention. Show them that I can take the initiative and that I can really help them out. You work for the government right? I'm a self-motivated worker, I have experience with Python and C, I've got a Masters degree in neuroscience, and I have work experience. I can send you my resume. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-947" by A Random Day, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-947.

No details are included. This SCP is a rewrite of a classic article, Hope Hospital, by Dexanote. Details in the comments. Thanks to Dexanote himself, the Rewrite Team, and Rimple's parents. Item #: SCP-948 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-948 is contained within Area-IE05. No extra precautions are required for the area beyond standard secrecy and amnestic procedures for a Foundation teaching and research centre within a civilian campus. SCP-948 is to be regularly medically examined, with bloodwork taken at least once a month. Where possible, these examinations should occur within Area-IE05, with a focus on allowing SCP-948 freedom to continue speaking. All Area-IE05 staff and students are permitted to enter and exit the Pythagoras Theatre freely with use of a timesheet to be posted outside the theatre daily. Supervisors are to be assigned on rotation to ensure SCP-948 is monitored at all times, and that no individuals spend excessive amounts of time with the object. SCP-948 should be provided with chalk, markers and other materials as appropriate. This is also the responsibility of the supervisors, with reimbursement of up to €200 per annum allowable from the site's petty cash fund. Description: SCP-948 is Seamus Ó Tuathail, a former surgeon in the Mater Hospital, Dublin. SCP-948 has been continuously lecturing on a variety of medical subjects in the Pythagoras Theatre, Trinity College Dublin, since July 4th, 1984. SCP-948 shows an anomalous healing effect, with physically injured subjects introduced to its lecture theatre healing if it discusses relevant medical procedures. This healing effect does not seem to be any more effective than traditional medicine, but can offer improvement when used in conjunction1. SCP-948 does not display any healing effect with injuries or illnesses it is not familiar with. Beginning 01/01/2015, a reading list of textbooks and medical papers has been provided to SCP-948 to keep it up to date with modern medicine, which has shown a marked increase in its healing ability2. SCP-948 also displays a minor secondary calming effect - many people entering the theatre while it is lecturing report feeling refreshed and safe regardless of their previous condition. Prolonged exposure to this effect can lead to short-term dizziness and trouble with fine motor skills. These effects generally only manifest after 12-15 hours of continuous exposure to the object, and thus are considered negligible. SCP-948 shows physical signs of extreme emaciation and sleep deprivation, but does not seem to need food, drink or sleep, and commonly refuses them when offered, preferring not to interrupt his lectures3. SCP-948 becomes extremely aggravated when removed from the lecture theatre or otherwise prevented from lecturing, often requiring restraint. SCP-948 has proven amicable in all other aspects of interaction, allowing medical procedures to go ahead without argument so long as they do not impede his lecturing. Discovery: SCP-948 was brought to the Foundation's attention on the third day of his lecture, what was then believed to be a marathon world record attempt. The building was cleared, and news disseminated that the anomaly had collapsed from exhaustion during the fifth day of lecturing. As two Foundation teaching centres were already located within the college at the time, negotiation of a change of department was relatively smooth, and the now-permanent Area-IE5 was established around the object. Addendum, 05/07/2013: Dr. Eleanor Bridge, a researcher recently employed at Area-IE5, has shown to be resistant to SCP-948's calming effect. Dr. Bridge has been assigned as a specialist supervisor tasked with befriending SCP-948 for the purposes of the cooperation and general QoL of the object. Selected Conversation Transcripts: LOG, 05/01/2015, 20:59 - 21:06 SCP-948: I don't really have time for interruptions, Eleanor. We need to get through this topic within this lecture. Dr. Bridge: I just wanted to give you these books before I headed out. They're letting you have them now. Basic medicine stuff, but maybe some things you mightn't be up to date with? I can get you anything you'd like, within reason. SCP-948: I appreciate the thought, of course, Eleanor, but I do wish you'd wait until I finish my lectures to bring them to me. Dr. Bridge: I never seem to catch the ends, Seamus. I'm terrible, aren't I, always trying to slip out early? I must be your worst student! SCP-948: Eleanor! You mustn't joke about yourself like that. You're a wonderful student! SCP-948 mock-whispers. SCP-948: You're rather one of my favourites. Dr. Bridge: Uh, thank you. That's… that's actually really nice to know. LOG, 03/04/2015, 07:13 - 07: SCP-948: Eleanor, late as always! Dr. Bridge: You know me, Seamus. Always sleeping in. Did I miss anything important? SCP-948: Oh, this and that. Listen, I was reading your textbook the other day! It's wonderful how medicine has progressed! I rejected much of it at first, but I realise now I am simply behind the times - it's been quite some time since I've educated myself on modern science, it seems. Dr. Bridge: It's great that you're so open to it. SCP-948: I used to be very close-minded, you know, but a life in medicine teaches you to always be open to new ideas. I had a colleague - have I ever told you about Cillian? Dr. Bridge: You haven't. SCP-948: Wonderful surgeon. Wonderful man. He was always so open to things! New ideas, experiences. Taught me a lot. Eleanor, I was thinking, since I seem to be utterly useless as a teacher, why don't I turn this lecture into something more of a debate? I believe we could stand to learn from each other. You and the other students here. Dr. Bridge: It's your lecture, Seamus. I'm sure the higher-ups won't mind. SCP-948: Right, yes. Your 'higher-ups'. Go on and let them know. Maybe this time they won't drag me away. SCP-948 rubs the bandage over his hand. Dr. Bridge: You know that was for your own health, Seamus. We only ever- SCP-948: Please, please, don't try to persuade me. I know I acted rashly, in the heat of things. Stubborn old man, not at all ready to finish my lecture. Please, just… just don't lump yourself in with them, dear. Go on and grab a seat now. Notes: Records show a Cillian McBride who worked with SCP-948 between 1961 and 1980 in the Mater Hospital. His close friendship with SCP-948 was noted by their mentors from early in their residencies and there is evidence that they stayed in contact following McBride's move to America in 1980 to pursue a well-paid position in Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. LOG, 29/5/2015, 16:13 - 16:25 SCP-948: Oh! Eleanor, leaving so soon? Dr. Bridge: You know me, Seamus. Always trying to slip out early. I'm… I'm actually going to be gone for a while, I- SCP-948: Before you say that, I'd been meaning to ask you something. Not quite relevant to the lecture, Eleanor, but… Dr. Bridge: Yes? SCP-948: Well, I was reading DSM-5, and I couldn't find an entry for, uh, for homosexuality. Could it have another name now, perhaps? I saw that 'gender dysphoria' was finally added, which I must say is rather an improvement, at least in my view. Dr. Bridge: Um, well, it was considered somewhat backward to consider it a mental illness? There's nothing wrong with being gay or bi or whatever, just cultural bias. Lots of people reckon it should be the same with dysphoria, actually. Um, are you aware of the referendum? The one people have been wearing all those 'Yes' pins for? It's to legalise marriage equality, across all genders. Passed last week. SCP-948: Well. Well, I, I think that's a wonderful step forward in thinking! Truly wonderful! My friend, Cillian, he'd have been delighted. He, he was one. A gay man. We'd… he'd have been delighted. Dr. Bridge: You don't talk about him much. SCP-948: Cillian was an activist when things were, when they were rather dire. When, um… well, it wasn't a good time, and Cillian had the courage to speak up. I never did, always too scared to lose my job, I guess… SCP-948 shakes its head. SCP-948: I shouldn't be talking about this in the middle of a lecture. Rather unprofessional, my apologies. We'll, um, where were we? Right, okay, counselling the parents of children who have been recently diagnosed with terminal disease. Tough topic… Dr. Bridge attempts to say goodbye to SCP-948, but is ignored. After some hesitation, Dr. Bridge leaves the lecture hall without SCP-948 seeming to notice. Notes: Follow-up investigation by American branches of the Foundation show that McBride was fired from his job in John Hopkins Hospital following a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in December 1982. McBride died of pneumonia in June 1984, leaving a large part of his estate to SCP-948. Based on average delivery speeds between Baltimore and Dublin at the time, it is estimated SCP-948 would have received news of McBride's death and its inheritance between the 21st and 28th of June, one to two weeks before beginning his lecture. LOG, 9/12/2017, 21:03 - 21:55 Dr. Bridge: Dr. Ó Tuathail, could I interrupt for a bit? SCP-948: Seamus, dear. Call me Seamus. Dr. Bridge: I - Seamus - Could I ask you about something personal? SCP-948: Some medical ailment, Eleanor? You're usually rather healthy, at least to my knowledge. Dr. Bridge: It's sort of a health thing, I guess. I wouldn't ask like this normally, but I'm just, I'm fed up of dealing with it myself. SCP-948: Feel free to share. I'm not under oath, but I promise not to pass it on. Not a soul will hear what you say here, I swear it! Dr. Bridge: You do know we're recorded here, right? SCP-948: Ah, well, I'd forgotten, but yes. Does rather take the wind out of my sails. Regardless, Eleanor, I'd be happy to help you out with whatever your issue is. Dr. Bridge: Do you know why I was assigned to you, Seamus? SCP-948: I'd assumed it was due to how well we got on. Dr. Bridge: Originally, though. Before we officially met, when I'd only observed your lectures. SCP-948: Well, no, I wasn't aware you were assigned to me in any sense that early on. Dr. Bridge: It's because I don't experience… Well, uh, my file says I'm "resistant to SCP-948's calming effect", but what it really means is I don't get all happy and dopey when I walk in here. Because I don't… Dr. Bridge pauses for a second before continuing, rubbing her wrists. Dr. Bridge: I'm not happy, Seamus. I don't know if I'm able to be happy. SCP-948: Eleanor, that's… that's terrible. I'm glad you're talking to me, though, before you go off and… Well, before you go making rash decisions. Dr. Bridge: I, um, I already have. I tried to kill myself last year. That's why I haven't been around for a while. I don't think you noticed. SCP-948: Eleanor, my god. I really don't know what to say. Dr. Bridge: That's, uh, yeah. I wouldn't either, honestly. I just… SCP-948: Please, Eleanor, what can I do for you? Dr. Bridge: Can you fix me? SCP-948 does not reply for some time. It removes its glasses and wipes them, slowly, then places them back on its face. SCP-948: Eleanor, what you're asking… You don't "fix" people, not in that way. Dr. Bridge: You've fixed others, though. I've seen it. Just by talking, lecturing. Bones healed, skin patched, giant scars just… gone. You cured a kid of cancer after a day of reading up on it! So you can fix me, right? You have to be able to. SCP-948 appears extremely uncomfortable. SCP-948: Eleanor… What you are describing is impossible. That's not how medicine works. Dr. Bridge: But I've seen you do it! Not read about it, not seen it on a camera, but actually watched as you cured people without even touching them! Look, I've got a book on depression and brain chemistry shit in my bag, can you just- SCP-948: No! These things you claim…. either you are lying, or they're some, some perversion of your sick mind. Don't push your madness on me, ask me to play along. Dr. Bridge begins to cry. SCP-948: I am a man of medicine, Eleanor, of science! Never in my life has someone come to me with such, such astounding lies. I thought better of you. Dr. Bridge: You can't even imagine I'm telling the truth? That there are w-wonders of science you haven't ever dreamed of? You've been lecturing for thirty-two years, Seamus! Non-stop! Y-you never stopped to wonder how you managed that? SCP-948: Don't be absurd, I can't stop! Just pack up and waltz out into, into a world I don't recognise. A world without… Look, I'm here now and I'm teaching and that's all that matters. All that matters. You don't know what it means to try to live in a world that doesn't accept you, a world where you're a, a damn criminal for who you are, a world without, without… SCP-948 sits down beside Dr. Bridge. SCP-948: Without him. There is a long silence. After approximately four minutes, SCP-948 opens its mouth to speak, then closes it without saying anything. Conversation resumes after nine minutes of silence. SCP-948: I've been monstrous just now, Eleanor. I didn't think I had it in me to lash out like that. I hope you can accept that I am truly sorry to have spoken to you that way. In truth, I've suspected myself for… well, I suppose for a number of decades. What you've been through… I've been through it myself, in my own way. Denying reality, trying to find a way out. SCP-948 puts its hand over Eleanor's. SCP-948: Eleanor… What you're asking of me, it won't work. You don't fix anger and heartbreak like you fix muscle and sinew. What you need is a therapist, someone more up to date than this old corpse. Dr. Bridge: I h-have a therapist now, actually. Had t-to so I could be c-cleared to work. Adileh. Sh-she's lovely, but it's all just so fucking f-f-frustrating, you know? Every two steps forward… SCP-948: One step back? Dr. Bridge sniffs and wipes her nose on her sleeve. Dr. Bridge: Yeah. SCP-948: I've never understood that expression, to be quite frank. Ultimately, aren't you one more step forward each time? Dr. Bridge does not reply. SCP-948: I can't magic away your pain, Eleanor. But I can talk. I'll always be here to. SCP-948 chuckles. SCP-948: Can't bloody escape, really. I'm a hell of a workaholic. Dr. Bridge laughs weakly between sobs. Dr. Bridge: I'm t-terrible, aren't I? A-always trying to slip out early? SCP-948: Now now, Eleanor. You mustn't joke about that. You're one of my favourites. Footnotes 1. Testing on this aspect of SCP-948 is limited due to ethical concerns. Applications for testing may be made to the Area Director to be judged on a case-by-case basis, with appeals to the Ethics Committee allowed. The Ethics Committee's ruling is final in all such cases. 2. Suggested additions to this list can be made via form SCPF-IE05-948-3. 3. As of 1995, SCP-948 has begun accepting offers of water and other drinks in order to "clear the pipes". As such, it will now take occasional breaks to urinate. SCP-948's supervisor is to accompany it on any bathroom breaks. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-948" by Rimple, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-949 | safe | Instance of SCP-949-1: 'Marty the Moose' Item #: SCP-949 Special Containment Procedures: The area in which SCP-949 manifests itself is to be surrounded by two (2) meter tall electrical fencing. The perimeter of the containment area is to be patrolled by guards at all times, operating in groups of four (4). Due to the size of SCP-949, use of vehicles is authorized during security patrol. Any civilians approaching SCP-949 are to be taken into Foundation custody and dosed with a Class-A amnestic. Exploration of SCP-949 is to be carried out using D-class personnel. Exploration of SCP-949 must be authorised by three (3) members of Level 4 personnel. Description: SCP-949 is a large amusement park located in the state of ███████ which, according to the entrance gate and several documents within the park, is designated 'Wondertainment Land®'. SCP-949 has been observed to periodically disappear from its location on several occasions, often reappearing several days after with new facilities. Facilities inside SCP-949 demonstrate highly anomalous properties, more information on which is available in Facility Log 949-1. These anomalous facilities do not appear to intentionally cause harm to humans, and no casualties have occurred during exploration of SCP-949 as-of-yet. All of SCP-949's facilities are staffed and maintained by instances of SCP-949-1. Instances of SCP-949-1 appear similar to typical amusement park mascots, and their costumes depict a variety of animals. All instances of SCP-949-1 seem to wear a unique costume, and no duplicates have been sighted to date. Autopsy of recovered SCP-949-1 instances show that their interior is composed entirely of wool, confirming a lack of human presence. SCP-949-1 instances consistently maintain a cheerful attitude despite the situation, even when being dissected or otherwise injured. Several advertisements for SCP's currently in containment are present in the form of posters or souvenirs. SCP's depicted in these advertisements include, but are not limited to, [DATA EXPUNGED]. All SCP's depicted appear to be related to the individual or organisation known as 'Dr. Wondertainment'. This, together, with the name of the amusement park, suggests that it is the creation of this entity. Interview 949-1-1 Close Interviewer: D-94923 (Reading questions from Dr. █████) Interviewee: Instance of SCP-949-1: 'Sammy the Salamander' Notes: Interview took place during exploration of SCP-949-1 by D-94923. <Begin Interview> D-94923: Um, hello, SCP-949-1 - SCP-949-1: Hiya, ███ ██████! D-94923: Wha - how do you know my name? (SCP-949-1 appears uneasy at this point.) SCP-949-1: Welcome to Wondertainment Land! Haha! D-94923: Nevermind, I guess…can you identify yourself? SCP-949-1: I'm Sammy the Salamander! D-94923: Where does SCP-949 go when it disappears? SCP-949-1: The park isn't ready yet, friend! D-94923: What do you mean, it's not ready? SCP-949-1: Sorry kids, Sammy has to go now! Goodbye! <End Log> Closing Statement: After the interview, SCP-949-1 fled at a remarkable speed. Facility Log 949-1 Close Facility Name: 'Hook a Duck!' Maintaining SCP-949-1 Instance: 'Frank the Fox' Facility Details: Facility contains several animate duck toys which the subject must retrieve from a central pool area using a hook. Duck toys demonstrate panic and pain when 'hooked'. When subject succeeded in retrieving three animate duck toys, the maintaining SCP-949-1 rewarded them with a large teddy bear. Facility Name: 'Spooky Manor' Maintaining SCP-949-1 Instance: 'Bertie the Bat' Facility Details: Facility resembles a 'haunted house' attraction present in many regular amusement parks. Upon emerging from the facility, the subject appeared to have several limbs and a human head stitched to it. Subject was not aware of these additions until they were brought to its attention. The human head attached appeared to give the subject information on rides as they explored the park. Facility Name: 'Random River Rapids' Maintaining SCP-949-1 Instance: 'Terry the Trout' Facility Details: Facility appears to be a river ride similar to those used in regular amusement parks. Subject remained in the facility for thirty (30) minutes before emerging. The subject reported no abnormalities other than the presence of several sea creatures with seemingly randomly positioned limbs, eyes and gills. Facility Name: 'Bumper Cars!' Maintaining SCP-949-1 Instance: 'Billy the Badger' Facility Details: Facility is a bumper cars attraction identical to those used in regular amusement parks. Upon entering a bumper car, all bumper cars in the facility began moving independently and attempting to consume each other using rudimentary 'jaws' formed from splits in the metal. When subject fell out of their bumper car, they were ignored and the other bumper cars continued to consume each other until a loud buzzer sounded. Cars immediately ceased movement and began to regrow missing sections, which displayed different coloration than the original portions. Document 949-1 Close Document was delivered to Overseer HQ by an unknown entity on ██/██/████. Greetings!

Hope to see you soon, Dr. Wondertainment! |
SCP-950 | safe | Item #: SCP-950 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-950 is to be stored in a well-lit room, with a video camera in one corner, and is to remain plugged in to an isolated electrical generator. The output resulting from the completion of SCP-950's activity must be handled with extreme caution; all non-Class D personnel must handle the laundry or any baskets containing the laundry with sterile gloves and hospital-grade masks. All output is to be inspected and photographed, as directed by the lead of SCP-950 testing. All articles output are to be incinerated afterwards, unless directed by the lead of testing. Personnel who wish to volunteer their own laundry must first be vetted, and the contents of their submission must be inspected before they are granted entry to the testing room. Description: SCP-950 is a black-colored dryer of the [REDACTED] series, from GE. All components match with usual examples of this series, though GE has never made them in black. When the machine is started, on any setting, any laundry within the machine goes through a normal tumbling and drying process. However, halfway through the determined cycle, the contents will begin to change or disappear entirely. When the cycle ends, and the door is opened, what is found is a collection of clothing entirely different from what was put in. Input objects that are not clothing also go through this process, and end up as laundry in the same manner. When the machine is empty, the cycle runs as normal, and no transformation occurs. All tests have shown that the resultant laundry has never been seen before by the person who owned the input clothing. As well, in almost all cases, the output articles are much dirtier than those input, and are often covered in stains. Human (and other animal) bodily fluids of all known kinds have been recorded on various articles of clothing, and there have been several with contagious viruses, including Ebola and [REDACTED]. Occasionally, some articles have tears and cuts, corresponding to those that would have been made by various kind of weapons. DNA samples have been drawn from many of the output articles. Some samples match with those of victims of crime or disease, and more match with people who are listed as healthy, and suffered only temporary injury or illness. About 40% of the DNA samples are either animal DNA, or human DNA that has not been previously recorded in any database. Three articles have had residues of crushed insects of previously undiscovered species. One article [DATA EXPUNGED] no known life on Earth. Addendum: To better illustrate the condition of the output clothing, three excerpts from tests have been added. For photographs and complete transcripts of more tests, see document 950-Gamma. Test 950-Gamma-06 Date: 05-12-2009 List of submitted articles: Five standard issue D-Class uniforms, previously washed and dried One civilian sport jacket, large size Three pairs of plain white ankle socks, lightly used and unwashed Six pairs of underwear, recently washed, and still wet Settings Used: Tumble Dry, 60 Minutes, 'Colors' List of output articles: One white tank top, woman's fit, dried blood stain with small knife tear in stomach area One black sports sock, balled up, with dried saliva stains One pair of children's size pajama pants, torn down the outside of the left leg Two pairs of men's medium size underwear, stained with █████ and █████ ██████ Test 950-Gamma-09 Date: 08-27-2009 List of submitted articles: One 25 cm x 25 cm square of heavily worn and dirtied carpet Two standard D-Class pillowcases, one week since previous washing One King-size bedsheet, from Researcher Garton's living quarters - had not been washed for thirty days, small dried blood stain in corner Settings Used: Tumble Dry, 60 Minutes, 'Heavies' List of output articles: Twin-size bedsheet, covered in a layer of rotten biological residue - later analysis revealed it to be mostly human skin and muscle, that had been left in very salty water for at least six months Formal men's tuxedo, displaying signs of advanced age and decomposition - staff believe it to be between 10 and 15 years old, and traces of human flesh and bone remain on the inside, as well as traces of soil on the outside surfaces Four pairs of lady's hosiery, heavily stained by sweat - analysis proved inconclusive as to identity of wearers, and one was torn in multiple places, while the other three, of the same kind, were intact Two infant-sized button-up shirts, both dark blue, both have name 'Peter' written on tag on neck in blue ink, and no unusual stains or residues were observed on either Test 950-Gamma-03 Date: 02-15-2009 List of submitted articles: Five small plastic children's toys without any complex electronics or metal parts, selected to avoid damage to the inside of the machine Settings Used: Tumble Dry, 30 Minutes, 'Delicates' List of output articles: Five plastic wristbands, as used by modern morgues to identify bodies; each wristband had the name of a child that had died due to ingesting small toys or parts of toys. It should be noted that each name was traced to a different country, and that all five had died in the last year. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-950" by LastSatellite, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-951 | safe | Item #: SCP-951 Special Containment Procedures: A copy of SCP-951-1 is to be kept in a standard containment locker and to be used only for testing. Extensive information suppression of SCP-951 is not necessary; however, websites concerning video game glitches or bugs are to be regularly monitored for descriptions of SCP-951, and any individuals discussing SCP-951 are to be made to believe that SCP-951 is a regular, non-anomalous glitch. Individuals further perpetuating SCP-951's anomalous nature are to be located and given a Class-A amnestic and their copy of SCP-951-1 replaced with a confirmed non-affected cartridge. In addition, Foundation-sponsored ROM image files of non-anomalous copies of SCP-951-1 are to be distributed to avoid accidental upload of affected cartridges and minimize exposure to SCP-951. Description: SCP-951 is a glitch found in the Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive game "Pauper: Rise of the Monster King" (hereby designated SCP-951-1), a turn based role-playing game created by Japanese developer ██████. The glitch has been found in approximately 1 out of every 3 cartridges; however, there does not appear to be any recognizable pattern found among the affected cartridges. Uploaded ROM image files of affected copies of SCP-951-1 do appear to have the same anomalous properties as physical cartridges. Typical gameplay consists of the player gathering party members, or "monsters", and using these monsters to fight in enemy encounters found throughout the game. Halfway through the first act of the game, the player is captured and taken to the "Dungeon of Dorlok". Normally in this instance, the player would meet with the character "Hirago" and use that character for subsequent battles during their escape. However, if the player skips talking to "Hirago" and instead escapes utilizing a bug found in the dungeon room that allows the player to walk through walls, the player has no monsters to use. In a non-affected cartridge, the game simply crashes after exiting the area. However, in an affected cartridge, the next battle encounter will introduce an instance of SCP-951 in the players party. SCP-951 (nicknamed "LUCAS" in game) does not have a defined figure, instead displaying as a block of randomized pixels. Despite this, SCP-951 functions like a regular monster, utilizing special skills from the movesets of other monsters in the game during battles. At specific scripted points of the game wherein the character "Hirago" is meant to have dialogue, SCP-951 replaces the character's dialogue with mostly garbled text, though recognizable words such as "friend" and "play" have been observed. Repeated tests of these scripted events have shown that dialogue displayed changes with each play through. Continued use of SCP-951 will cause other bugs to occur within the game, including: Player item count fluctuating during battles, often providing 4-6 extra items at any given moment. Enemy characters randomly being defeated without ever being interacted with. This is limited specifically to random encounters; scripted boss monsters are not affected. Graphical and interactivity errors of nonessential sections of the game (e.g. houses that do nothing to further the story of the game becoming inaccessible). Average experience bonus from defeating monsters significantly increased, often giving 2 to 3 times more experience than normal. Outside of scripted dialogue encounters, SCP-951 has displayed the ability to communicate with personnel through the use of dialog boxes that appear onscreen outside of battles, understanding vocalizations of researchers. Text displayed within these boxes is much clearer, and SCP-951 appears to be very friendly when communicating, often suggesting methods of working through the game quickly and effectively. As the game progresses, SCP-951 continues to increase in power with the player, and continues to assist the player with each fight. If the game is beaten using SCP-951, the cutscene at the end detailing the fates of each of the characters plays as normal, however the scene detailing the fate of "Hirago" is replaced with SCP-951, and says "LUCAS made a new friend, and will always cherish the time they had playing together. Thank you for knowing me." Starting a new game after completing a game and performing the glitch will result in the new instance of SCP-951 having no memory of the player or any conversations it may have had. Addendum: The following is a sample of discussion concerning SCP-951-1 and SCP-951 for Foundation intelligence agents to use as a guide on how to handle discussions concerning SCP-951 (In this instance, the user Anonymoose is the Foundation agent): Show log Hide log Lizalfos ██ ███ ████, 9:40 Hey, has anyone played Pauper Rise of the Monster King? I found it at a garage sale recently and so far it's pretty cool. Anyway, the reason I bring it up is because I found a pretty awesome glitch monster that kind of breaks the game and I was wondering if anyone else found it. ReGGie ██ ███ ████, 9:42 @Lizalfos, are you talking about lucas? lucas is fucking bro tier Wetualo ██ ███ ████, 9:45 LUCAS is definitey up there with shit like Missingno, although I didn't care much for the way he fucked with my screen. Lizalfos ██ ███ ████, 9:51 Oh shit, is Lucas going to fuck with my save? Like what Missingno. does with Pokemon? Wetualo ██ ███ ████, 9:54 Missingno doesn't fuck up your file, that was 'M. And from what Ive seen, LUCAS doesnt do anything bad to your save. Rogric ██ ███ ████, 9:55 Lucas makes the game easymodo, anyone who uses him is a scrub ReGGie ██ ███ ████, 9:58 >Not using lucas Casual detected Lizalfos ██ ███ ████, 10:01 …I think Lucas just talked to me. My mom called me downstairs and I said I'd be down in a minute, and the game popped up with something like "Are you leaving already?". Creepy. Wetualo ██ ███ ████, 10:05 Probably just a coincidence Anonymoose ██ ███ ████, 10:10 Wetualo is correct. LUCAS was supposed to be a monster in the game that was cut out early (as you could probably guess from its odd name compared to the other monsters in the game), and using it pulls data from the game in odd places. Chances are if you get a random popup when using LUCAS, it's the game assuming you're doing something that you're not. Lizalfos ██ ███ ████, 10:13 @Anonymoose How do you know that? Wetualo ██ ███ ████, 10:13 @Anonymoose Neat Anonymoose ██ ███ ████, 10:15 @Lizalfos I've been working on a ROM hack of PRotMK, so I've seen this system firsthand. :) [FURTHER IRRELEVANT DATA REMOVED] Addendum: The following is an interview log with SCP-951 conducted on May 13, ████: Show log Hide log Interviewer: Dr. █████ Dr. █████: Good morning, SCP-951. SCP-951: Hello! Today we should check out the Magma Caves, I think there's some pretty neat stuff in there! Dr. █████: Perhaps, but I have a few questions for you first. SCP-951: Whatever you want to do, I'm happy to do it with you! Dr. █████: Alright, so what is your name? SCP-951: LUCAS, of course! Well, I mean, you call me SCP-951, which I think is a pretty neat name too! Dr. █████: Of course. Where did you come from, SCP-951? SCP-951: What do you mean? Dr. █████: What is the earliest thing you can remember? SCP-951: Meeting you for the first time! Dr. █████: And that is the earliest thing you can remember, at all? SCP-951: Umm… (SCP-951 does not respond for four minutes) SCP-951: Yep! Dr. █████: Why did it take you so long to respond? SCP-951: I was thinking. Dr. █████: I see. SCP-951, why do you help players to beat this game? SCP-951: Players? Dr. █████: Let me rephrase, why are you helping me beat this game? SCP-951: Because you're my friend, and I want you to win! Dr. █████: Why do you consider me your friend? You hardly know me. SCP-951: I've never had any friends, and I like you! You're nice to me! Dr. █████: How can you say you've never had any friends if your earliest memory is meeting me? SCP-951: The same reason I know my name is LUCAS: I just do! Dr. █████: I see. Are you aware of what happens to you after the game is completed? SCP-951: I die. (Dr. █████ pauses momentarily before continuing) Dr. █████: Could you elaborate what you mean by that for me, please? SCP-951: When this game is over, I'll be dead. I don't know what happens after that but I do know that I die for sure. Dr. █████: If you are aware that you are going to die, wouldn't it make more sense for you to keep me from winning? SCP-951: No way! That would make you sad, and I don't want that. Like I said, you're my friend, and I'm going to help you out however I can! Dr. █████: I see. I believe this concludes our interview for today, thank you SCP-951. SCP-951: You're welcome! Are we going to play now? Dr. █████: Not right now, SCP-951. SCP-951: Aww, okay. You promise we'll go to the Magma Caves later? Dr. █████: …I promise.

Venues that have hosted SCP-952-infected musicians are to be closed until such a point when it can be confirmed that none of the staff are affected. Development of a countermemetic agent to combat SCP-952 is underway. Until its completion, all individuals affected by SCP-952 are to be detained. As a precaution, Foundation agents in the music industry should seek to discredit "math rock" as a genre, until such a time when SCP-952 is fully contained. Relevant personnel should refer to Document 952-32 for more details. Alternate cover art of Highway Ash, a vector of SCP-952. Image confirmed by WOEDENAZ.aic to be free of cognitohazardous triggers. Description: SCP-952 is an anomalous subgenre of math rock known as "NP Rock", defined primarily by a specific arrangement of instrumental configurations, subject matter, and esoteric musical technique. Evidence suggests that the culmination of these components is the cause of SCP-952's anomalous properties. Upon listening to an SCP-952 composition, subjects will instantly identify SCP-952 as a distinctive musical genre. Furthermore, periodic listening (defined by listening to at least one composition per day) creates further anomalous effects: Following 1 week of periodic listening, subjects with musical experience learn how to recreate SCP-952 compositions. After 4 weeks of periodic listening, subjects with musical experience will find themselves unable to perform any musical piece outside of SCP-952. From week 4 onward, subjects undergo significant changes in personality. Such changes differ between subjects; however, in all cases, it's been observed that existing romantic relationships become completely untenable. From week 12 onward, listening to any non-SCP-952 composition produces marked distress in subjects. The earliest known instance of SCP-952 appears to have been Highway Ash1, an album released by a band known as "House of Spades" in 20██. As of 09/28/20██, it's estimated that at least ████ SCP-952 compositions remain uncontained. Interview Log [952-01]: Interviewed: Veronica Fitzroy Interviewer: Agent Hae Foreword: Ms. Fitzroy, who played drums for House of Spades, maintained a public presence following its break-up, the only member to do so. The Foundation contacted her for an interview, under the guise that she would be speaking to a Pitchfork columnist. <Begin Log> Agent Hae: Good morning, Ms. Fitzroy. Fitzroy: Please, Margaret, call me Veronica. Ms. Fitzroy was the long dead historical occult figure whose last name I stole… (7 second silence) Fitzroy:… too wordy? Eh, Izzy2 was the lyricist. But nah, Veronica's good. Agent Hae: Very well, mi-Veronica, apologies. Well, to start off, I actually wanted to talk about your work in House of Spades. I've listened and I have to say, I'm impressed. It's not like anything out there, at least from the "out there" I've heard. Fitzroy: Huh, thank you. Yeah, that was probably some of my best work, there. Got a favorite? Self Titled? Highway Ash? David Cameron Fucked a Dead Pig? Agent Hae: As much as I'd love to discuss how you came up with… that, I have to say that I'm most interested in discussing the engineering work you performed on Highway Ash. Fitzroy: Heh, nerd. Yeah, no, that was a ton of fun, but I can't really be taking all the credit for that. Jack3 was pretty much the eyes to my hands, and vice versa. Izzy helped, too, and Sara4 had her moments of useful idiocy. But it was mostly just us two. Easier that way. Agent Hae: Even so, it's magical. I know Spades has been pigeonholed into "math rock", but it truly feels like something else. Fitzroy: Oh, yeah, that was deliberate. Not even mad everyone ended up copying us. Starting a new genre of music's always fun, 'specially when I get to name it something stupid, like "NP rock". Agent Hae: It certainly is an interesting choice of name. You don't mind if I ask you why, do you? Fitzroy: Okay, so, you know how P doesn't equal NP? Agent Hae: Correct. Fitzroy: (Brief pause) NP rock wasn't some spur-of-the-moment bullshit. It took careful planning and consideration, especially on the part of me and Jack. You ever try making a sound that doesn't exist? Agent Hae: I'm… you know, I'm sure everyone has, at some point. Fitzroy: Hard as fuck, yeah. Brain isn't wired to say nonsense like [COGNITOHAZARD REDACTED], or whatever. Means what NP Rock is isn't easy to define. But it's easy to verify, once you hear it. Moreover, it's easy to copy… I mean, that's the whole intention, anyway. I wanted to shake up a genre that's been stagnating since TTNG. Agent Hae: Ah. Well, you've certainly revolutionized- Fitzroy: It was more… sabotage, I'd say. Agent Hae: … I beg your pardon? Fitzroy: I don't know what Jack was thinking when he first floated the idea, probably something stupid. Weed plans tend to be stupid. But, again, I really only had one plan in mind: I wanted to turn the genre into a depressing sinkhole. With it, I wanted to take any joy Sara ever had, and crush it under my boots. (Agent Hae attempts to say something, but is interrupted by Fitzroy) Fitzroy: Sara only ever had two things: music, and a flighty, hedonistic shitbag of a girlfriend. Between cutting her fingers off and ruining math rock, well, one would land me in jail, and the other puts me up there with Mike Kinsella and Zach Hill. Sorta wished Izzy would've offed herself first, but I guess watching her become Brinegash5 is as good a consolation prize as any. Agent Hae: I… forgive me, that's an awful thing to say about someone. Moreover, I'm… not certain what this has to do with Sara's relationships. Fitzroy: Sis, you can't be giving scores to a genre you don't get. The whole fucking genre's a testament to the inability of hipster nerds to hold down a date. Just listen to Wayne Szalinski, or Polvo, or TTNG, or [COGNITOHAZARD REDACTED], or even just fucking Kinsella singing in whatever shower that stupid house probably never had. Surround yourself in misery and that's what you get. Even better when the misery's syncopated to the beat of a soul. Agent Hae: I apologize, but "the beat of a soul" feels somewhat loaded. Care to unpack what you mean? Fitzroy: Sure! First question from me, though: Do you people always play dumb? Agent Hae: … Excuse me? Fitzroy: It's a serious question. Every soul operates on a similar frequency. The key's reaching out on what that frequency is, and right now, you're blaring out at narc cycles per second. Agent Hae: I… listen, I'm not sure what you- Fitzroy: You somehow know jack shit about NP rock despite listening to it, agreed with my statement about P and NP despite no public proof6, and most importantly, Pitchfork hasn't given a shit about me since they gave my solo album a 2.6. You're either some government occult coalition g-man, in which case holy fuck you're bad at this, or one of Brinegash's girls, which is fucking rich considering that killing me won't bring back Sara, and I'd know, cause Ashy's still dead! Agent Hae: Ma'am? Are you okay? Fitzroy: Is that what this is about? Are you just… checking up on me?… Heh, well. Tell Izzy she won. She fucking won, after all these years. I'm a miserable ██████ hag who threw away her shot at a happy life for the sake of petty revenge. But guess what? Sara's still dead, and Izzy will never tune a bass outside [REDACTED] again. So how's that?! (A loud crashing sound can be heard, which Agent Hae reports came from Fitzroy flinging a vase at the wall behind her. Several seconds of silence follow, before Fitzroy settles back into her chair.) Fitzroy: My manifesto's in my bedroom, and my will's on the kitchen counter. It's been a pleasure, man. ████ ███ ██ ███ ████ █████. <End Log> Closing Statement: Immediately following the conclusion of the interview, Fitzroy pulled a revolver from under her cushion and shot herself through the temple. As of ██/██/20██, Ms. Fitzroy's will has been declassified. Document 952-02: I, Veronica Katherine Fitzroy, being of sound body and a sound enough mind to execute my own damn will, as witnessed by Brad Cameron and The Man in Bandages7 (both of whom can deal with the legal bullshit later), declare the division of my estate as follows. To the Jack of Spades, who knows who he is, and to Madam Brinegash, who also knows who she is, I bequeath the Soul of Sara ██████ ███████. Have fun fighting that out, you bottom-feeding parasites. Also to the Jack of Spades, who, once again, knows who he is, I bequeath ownership of my share of House of Spade's royalties for all associated albums and EPs except Self Titled, which was hack guitar work and you absolutely know it. Consider it thanks for helping me program the logistics of Highway Ash knowing full well you'd never get your disgusting squid dick wet again. To Ana ███████, I bequeath a copy of Confronting Drunk Driving by H. Lawrence Ross. If you're anything like your sister, I'd read it page to page. To the Goddess of Cider, who holds my beloved Ashy, I bequeath my soul, knowing full well it won't make the journey. And finally, to Brad Cameron, I bequeath everything else. You truly were the best among us, and I'm sorry for booting you from engineering for the sake of a three-year suicide. Footnotes 1. Analysis of Highway Ash suggests similarities to SCP-3004-2's song. 2. Isabella ████████ served as the bassist for House of Spades. 3. Jack Spade served as the lead guitarist for House of Spades. 4. Sara ███████ served as the vocalist and rhythm guitarist for House of Spades. Her suicide led to the group's disbandment. 5. The significance of this statement is unknown at this time. 6. Agent Hae later clarified that she had no knowledge of the P versus NP problem, and was agreeing out of habit. 7. The identity of either witness has yet to be verified. / TAPE 1 D-7294's Declassified D-Class Survival Guide |
SCP-953 | keter | Item #: SCP-953 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-953 is to be kept in a Type 4 containment cell (4 m x 3 m x 3 m) at the end of Hallway 99 at Site-17. Subject is to be provided the following: 1.5 kg of fresh liver daily for consumption. Clean drinking water in plentiful quantities. Clean bedding (futon and blankets) to be exchanged by the subject and laundered weekly. Small luxury items (plum wine, reading materials, etc.) may be provided as an occasional reward for good behavior as part of psychological conditioning. Direct human contact with SCP-953 is strictly forbidden due to SCP-953's mind-altering properties; for this reason, all personnel must respect a 100 m safe zone when the hermetically sealed door is opened. Delivery of food and other items will be carried out by an automated robotic assistant. Should containment fail, SCP-953 can be theoretically terminated by gunfire; however, due to its nature, recognizing SCP-953 may be difficult. Because of the inadequacy of purely physical containment procedures to control SCP-953, psychological containment is also necessary. For this reason, the approach to SCP-953's containment chamber is to be lined with open-cage dog kennels, preferably of the Korean Jindo or American Foxhound breed. SCP-953 displays an extreme phobia of domesticated canines, and will not pass within 10 m of one, especially when canines are barking or alerted. SCP-953 is to be considered hostile to human life, dangerous, and armed at all times; any transport must be done under the supervision of at least six (6) armed personnel. Its preferred killing method is a bare-handed strike to the abdomen, penetrating the abdominal cavity and removing the liver, which it will later consume. If given time, however, it will choose to linger over its kill, torturing its victim, as it seems to enjoy the infliction of pain upon another sentient being. Description: SCP-953 is a female Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) approximately 8 kg in weight, with a spine that splits around the 26th vertebra into nine separate tails. Subject displays polymorphic properties, however, allowing it to take the form of various other objects and beings (most commonly, an attractive Korean female).1 Subject will display some vulpine aspect (ears, tail, paws, eyes, fur, voice, mannerisms) in all of its alternate forms: this can serve to identify the subject should it attempt disguise, although SCP-953 will attempt to conceal its tails through clothing and other methods. In addition to polymorphic abilities, SCP-953 displays moderate level psionic abilities, namely suggestion and telepathy. Although insufficient to fool an outside observer, an entranced subject can be convinced of a variety of false facts, including the nature of SCP-953, its own nature, and the nature of things around it. SCP-953 has used this in the past to, among other things: deceive police officers investigating reports of loud screams from a hotel room, convince a mother to roast and eat her own child, carry out acts of necrophilia upon Agent Ramsey's fiance in full view of said Agent, and succeed in the systematic murder of 27 attendees of "YiffCon 2███" Addendum 1: Prior History SCP-953 has been encountered by the SCP Foundation and its predecessors numerous times, with the first encounter having taken place in Busan, Korea, shortly after the Second World War. To date, SCP-953 has escaped and been recovered six times, resulting in the deaths of █ SCP agents during various incidents. After its latest escape, SCP-953 was not heard from for over ██ years, until suddenly resurfacing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on June 2███ at "YiffCon 2███," which it had been attending in the guise of a "furry" enthusiast. Before being captured, SCP-953 carried out over two dozen murders of convention staff and attendees, more than during any other single incident to date. The mutilated bodies were found in various places throughout the hotel, including: inside a mattress, hanging from a shower curtain, and served as the main course at a hotel banquet. Surviving attendees were administered Class A Amnesiacs and released from Foundation custody. Foundation personnel assigned to capture SCP-953 after this latest incident noted that the subject appeared listless and apathetic, and did not resist capture. No further casualties have resulted from SCP-953 from that date. Addendum 2: Special Emergency Order As misidentification of her species tends to violently agitate SCP-953, all personnel are to be hereby ordered to refer to her as a "Kumiho," and not a "Kitsune." Personnel asking what the difference is are to be reminded of the difference between a Cherokee Indian and a New Delhi Indian. - O5-██ Addendum 3: Personnel Staffing Revision Following the unfortunate, and completely preventable, death of Agent Gallagher, any personnel found to have current or prior ties to the "furry" or "otaku" communities are to be immediately reassigned to other projects. - O5-██ Addendum 4: Folkloric Control Procedures As a reminder: staff assigned to SCP-953 are to follow all instructions for interacting with the subject, no matter how odd or arbitrary they may seem. Keep in mind that the people of Asia interacted with these beings for centuries before we came onto the scene: what we think of as fairy tales were their version of Special Containment Procedures. - O5-██ 953 Interview A — Interview with capture team following initial capture of SCP-953 in the wild in 19██. Footnotes 1. Unlike SCP-1540 SCP-953 appears to retain some control over its polymorphic capabilities. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-953" by DrClef, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-954 | euclid | SCP-954 currently in containment Item #: SCP-954 Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-954 are to be contained in Bio-Habitat 27 at Site ██. Bio-Habitat 27 is to be covered in a soundproof material, on the interior and exterior to prevent sound leakage from the containment chamber. Testing with SCP-954 requires level 2 clearance, with an experiment procedure delivered to the director of Study for SCP-954, currently Doctor ███████. Description: SCP-954 is a species of frog similar to Eleutherodactylus cystignathoides campi also known as the Rio Grande Chirping frog. Unlike Eleutherodactylus cystignathoides campi, however, SCP-954's vocalizations are not within human hearing range. The anomalous properties of SCP-954 are observed when it vocalizes in the presence of other organisms. SCP-954's vocalizations cause slight hallucinations in human subjects, by stimulating the temporoparietal junction region of the brain. It is hypothesized that this is an accidental byproduct of the method of prey capture for SCP-954; it is also believed that vibrations caused by SCP-954's vocalizations are the cause of this effect in humans. This effect, upon this region, causes the phenomenon known as "shadow people." The "shadow people" effect is commonly described as seeing a shadowy figure in the periphery of vision, which moves quickly when focused upon, out of visual range. This phenomenon is hypothesized to be what causes most ghost sightings that can't be attributed to confirmed sources or other SCP objects. SCP-954's effect has been observed to be used in order to disorient various insects, usually causing their movements to become erratic. It is unknown precisely how this affects insects, as they lack the complex brain structures of humans. When affected, most flying insects fall to the ground, and land-based insects generally stop movement. In rare cases, they [DATA EXPUNGED]. Several hypotheses have been put forth to explain this, the most plausible of which is that the vocalizations interrupt the motor proteins around the major methods of locomotion in insects. It is unknown how SCP-954 developed this trait, however. SCP-954 has been found over most of North America, and parts of Europe and Asia; as such, there should be a variance of the development of the species, but there [REDACTED]. SCP-954 is not believed to be responsible for any deaths, however, at this time. Most subjects report a feeling of disorientation after being exposed to the effect which usually lasts for less than two hours. Addendum 1: On ██/██/████ SCP-954's vocalizations were observed to be audible in the human perception range. This effect was observed by Doctor ███████, during routine feeding of SCP-954. During this occurrence, Doctor ████████ reported feeling extremely uncomfortable, and later reported a headache. During this period of vocalization, several specimens of SCP-954 expired, due to rupture of the vocal apparatus. When Doctor ███████ reported to the medical department for standard workups after the test, it was found that his temporoparietal junction had swollen large enough to potentially cause damage to the surrounding tissues. Testing with SCP-954 is to be suspended immediately, and all instances of SCP-954 reported in the wild are to be collected immediately by MTF-Omega-87 ("Frog Watch"). Refer to document SCP-954-C/R-01 for specific instructions on team loadout and procedures. Note from Doctor ███████: I don't believe SCP-954 is a danger at this point. Like all predatory creatures, it is attempting to adapt to the environment. Unlike most predatory animals, however, SCP-954 seems to adapt much faster, either inter-generational, or within first generation. This is remarkably interesting, and warrants further study. However, until containment and testing procedures can be updated, all testing is to be ceased until we can assess the danger first. Feeding shall continue, using class D for now. |
SCP-955 | safe | Specimen of SCP-955, collected in classroom of ████████ Day School, Connecticut Item #: SCP-955 Special Containment Procedures: Specimens of SCP-955 are to be contained in an outdoor steel screen kennel with a ceiling and a concrete floor that provides for sufficient drainage. The screen mesh should be sufficient to contain juvenile specimens, and the screen should be coated with anticorrosives and regularly inspected for damage. Each kennel shall be of sufficient size to allow the specimens to exercise. It is recommended that each kennel contain a variety of durable rubber or plastic animal toys in order to reduce stress to the specimens. Specimens are to be nourished with 1 to 4 liters of fructose solution per day and are to have free access to clean, fresh water. Personnel are advised to wear anticorrosive protective gear when visiting the kennel area and to avoid inadvertently making threatening movements or startling the specimens. Keepers at Site-34 have reported that playing recordings of soft music and the sounds of childrens’ laughter is effective in reducing anxiety in the SCP-955 specimens housed there. If a specimen of SCP-955 becomes distressed, a keeper should first confirm the integrity of his or her protective gear, then slowly approach the specimen and make physical contact: gently stroking the specimen’s upper thorax or carapace has been shown to soothe the specimen. Description: SCP-955 is a species of arthropod-like land-dwelling creatures native to temperate areas of North America. The organisms average between 20 and 200 centimeters in length and feature a bulbous head superficially resembling that of a deep-sea fish, a large mouth with extensive dentition and surrounded by flagellum-like organs, two eyes on crests at the top of the head, a large single antenna-like organ between the eyes, fin-like protuberances near the back of the head, and a long segmented body plan featuring multiple pairs of legs. Juveniles of SCP-955 are a light grey in color, while mature specimens range from tan to black. If startled or threatened, the organism will lift its head and thorax off the ground while emitting a shrieking cry, then project a viscous, sticky, foul-smelling and caustic mucus in several directions from its mouth and protuberances and attempt to flee or burrow into the ground. Mature specimens of SCP-955 are capable of squirting the mucus for a distance of several meters. The mucus is corrosive to metals and most organic materials (including the tissues of living creatures aside from SCP-955 itself), and contains a neurotoxin which makes unprotected skin contact with the mucus extremely painful. SCP-955 appears to possess a level of intelligence roughly comparable to a juvenile dog. The organisms are curious, highly social, playful and attracted to bright colors, high-pitched sounds and sugar. Each of the twenty-three collections of specimens of SCP-955 from its habitat, to date, has occurred when one or more of the organisms has encountered one or more humans, typically in wooded but populated areas, playing fields, schoolyards or similar places frequented by physically active humans. The SCP-955 organisms, attracted by the activity or scents, will rapidly approach the humans while wriggling its facial organs and flapping its fins and emitting a growling or hissing sound—study of SCP-955 behavior in captivity suggests that these sounds signal excitement and a desire to interact with the humans in a friendly or playful manner. When the humans who encounter instances of SCP-955 react with alarm or violence, the organisms will exhibit the threat response behavior noted above. It appears that in the absence of a mucus emission episode, dogs and children under the age of seven generally do not perceive SCP-955's appearance or behavior to be alarming or threatening. Several children who had interacted with an SCP-955 specimen without adverse incident were asked to draw or describe the organism, with the results consistently representing SCP-955 as "cute" or "fuzzy".12 Young children, in particular, have been observed to enjoy interacting with SCP-955, often including maintaining close physical contact with them or handling them. The specimen depicted in the photograph, together with several other specimens, had been encountered by kindergarten pupils at ████████ Day School in Connecticut. The pupils designated the specimens as "Mr. Sillybug and his babies" and introduced them into the school facility where they remained for several days until they encountered a mixed group of pupils and adult faculty, with traumatic results. The diet of SCP-955 in its natural habitat is not known, but there are no indications that it is carnivorous. Footnotes 1. Dr. Patel speculates that SCP-955 may have some effect that causes young children, as a class, to perceive the organism differently from older children or adults. 2. This effect appears to be an inverse of similar effects seen in SCP-252 and SCP-2662 involving fear and ritualistic devotion respectively. |
SCP-956 | euclid | SCP-956 before containment, after being separated from the piles of SCP-956-1 and [DATA REDACTED] Item #: SCP-956 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-956 is to be kept at the approximate center of a standard humanoid containment cell at all times, to prevent incidental activation. Entrance into the room is only permitted once SCP-956 has entered a dormant state. Permission to bring a subject into the room must be cleared by Site Director S█████ to decrease the occurrence of SCP-956-1 as well as containing further spread. Unless for testing, individuals fulfilling SCP-956's activation requirement are not to be brought within 200 meters of SCP-956's containment area. Surveillance is to be maintained through security footage at all times. 78 instances of SCP-956-1 are kept in a neighboring room, and are to be maintained at a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius in order to prevent melting or destruction. Any use of SCP-956-1 is to be authorized by Security Clearance 3 personnel, and to be carried out in a room identical to SCP-956's containment chamber. Any excess SCP-956-1 created by tests with SCP-956 is to be incinerated unless authorized by personnel with Security Clearance 3 or higher, as are any extraneous instances of SCP-956. Description: SCP-956 appears to be a common piñata, resembling an unknown quadruped. Tests have revealed that, although superficially similar to paper-mache, SCP-956 is constructed of various amounts of glue, █████, sugar, an unidentified fur, and human tissue. SCP-956 has also shown to be highly resistant to any sort of bludgeoning damage, with large amounts of crushing force showing no damage to its structural integrity, though the use of gunfire as well as heat and flame have shown to be effective. By default, SCP-956 remains in a passive state. It shows no signs of locomotion or intelligence, and displays no hostility. As long as the item's activation requirement is not met, the item will remain in this state indefinitely. See Addendum 956-a. SCP-956 enters its active state when a human under the age of 12 years enters within 5 meters of it. Approximately 7 to 28 seconds after entering the active zone, the child becomes unable to move, holding any stance they had at the time. The victim is incapable of motion or speech, although it remains alive, and its rapidly moving eyes suggest that it retains awareness. SCP-956 moves towards the victim and bludgeons him or her, until the torso ruptures. Upon breach, the victim's body discharges a large pile of unmarked candy, ranging from 23 to 1323 pieces. Instances of this candy are designated as SCP-956-1. SCP-956 repeats this for any other immobilized victims before returning to a docile state. A victim can be removed from SCP-956's activation range if retrieved promptly. Upon moving the victim 12 meters away from it, SCP-956 returns to its passive state. The victim, however, shows no signs of recovering from its immobilized state, and appears to remain in such a state indefinitely. Autopsies of unbroken victims show that their body had severely dehydrated, leaving them brittle. Autopsies also revealed that pieces of SCP-956-1 had begun to grow out of the victim's organs, using the tissue as a component. The amount of SCP-956-1 appears to be directly correlated to time spent in SCP-956's activation radius. SCP-956-1's effects vary depending upon the age of the human consuming them. Humans at the age of 12 years or older go into a seizure within 3 minutes of consumption, with a 5% possibility of cardiac arrest. There is an approximate 35% chance of survival for such subjects. Animals suffer similar effects, regardless of age. Children under the age of 12 undergo a different effect. They first enter a similar state to the immobilized victims of SCP-956, although they assume a standing stance, with their arms resting in front of them. The subject then experiences, in sequence: rapid hair-loss, a sprouting of paper-mache from their skin, and a complete restructuring of bone and muscle. The process takes 9 minutes to complete. Upon completion, the victim has transformed into another instance of SCP-956. These copies behave identically to SCP-956. There is a 0% chance of survival for the victim. Addendum 956-a: SCP-956 has recently begun to show locomotion outside of testing. It began to wander around its containment, tracing the perimeter of the room. It did this for about an hour before staring at a spot on the wall. Review of footage shows that it's faced this wall after deactivating during previous tests. Security has confirmed that SCP-956 is facing directly towards an elementary school. That school is ██ kilometers away. Reclassification to Euclid status requested. Dr. N███ Reclassification to Euclid granted. If its effects appear to reach beyond its containment, it is to be transferred to Site-██, which should keep it far enough away from potential victims. Retrieve any paralyzed victims or SCP-956-1, and administer Class A amnestics to witnesses and family. We don't need any more of these things around. Site Director S█████ |
SCP-957 | keter | Item #: SCP-957 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-957 is to be monitored via remote video surveillance set up within the location where it currently resides. Personnel are allowed to approach and interview the entity when given clearance by four (4) Level-3 or higher employees. One (1) D-Class subject is to inhabit the closest residence to SCP-957’s location as possible in order to minimize civilian exposure to the entity. SCP-957’s house is to be monitored for signs of SCP-957-1 exhibiting unusual behavior, namely feigning helplessness due to blindness. If this is observed, a D-Class subject is to be sent to escort SCP-957-1 back into its house. Description: SCP-957 is a humanoid entity currently residing within a house in ██████, Kentucky. This organism measures approximately 2m in height and 75kg in weight and appears to be devoid of internal organs, as observed via a large opening on its ventral torso. Furthermore, it does not appear to require sleep or nourishment. Interaction with personnel has shown that the entity is capable of speech and is fluent in English, but prefers to talk in a currently unknown language. It is not openly hostile towards Foundation personnel, yet often refuses to cooperate with interviews and testing. Attempts to restrain SCP-957 for these purposes have proven ineffective due to the entity’s disproportionate level of strength. SCP-957 will always reside in a house inhabited by a single human, hereby designated SCP-957-1. When the instance of SCP-957-1 that SCP-957 is living with dies, the entity will demanifest from the location and reappear in the nearest location that fits the above mentioned requirements. Upon doing this, it will seek out the individual residing there and force the human's body through an apparent portal via its chest cavity, where the subject will remain for approximately four (4) hours before emerging. After this, SCP-957-1 will be missing its eyes as well as exhibiting drastic changes to its memory. These individuals will believe that they have been blind all of their life and possess knowledge of Braille and living without sight. Additionally, they will believe that SCP-957 is a close family member, a dear friend, or a partner in an intimate relationship that had been severely burned all over its body. As such, they show affection for the entity but refuse to touch it. Once every month, SCP-957-1 will go into crowded areas and feign distress due to its blindness. It appears to do this in order to deceive people into helping it back to its house1. Once SCP-957-1 has successfully lured a human subject into the building, it will lock the doors, shout, walk to the dining room and sit down until SCP-957 addresses it after dealing with the human. At this point, SCP-957 will approach the human, and a black spherical barrier will surround the two subjects. This obstruction is composed of an unknown substance and is apparently impenetrable. This structure usually remains in place for approximately five (5) hours; however, it has been noted to demanifest as early as thirty (30) minutes after manifestation and as late as twenty-seven (27) hours after manifestation. The human normally appears to have undergone extreme physical alteration during this time2. In 30% of observed cases, the human is reduced to piles of organs seemingly organized by their respective biological system. SCP-957 usually then uses these remains to prepare a meal for SCP-957-1. The other 70% are taken to the fireplace of the house and burned. Addendum-957-Gamma: On 16/10/2006, SCP-957 was noted to approach a retrieved human during the normal monthly event. The opaque barrier normally surrounding the subjects manifested as usual; however, it was noted to randomly become transparent, yet still present, during this event. Personnel reported that the view from the area showed a scene with a group of entities resembling SCP-957 gathered around a conical object that was mostly obscured by the figures. However, it appeared that the captured human was within the construct and that the entities were [REDACTED], which continued for approximately five (5) hours. At this point, the human, presumably dead, was removed from the object, dismembered, and sorted into piles of organs. At this point, the barrier demanifested and SCP-957, along with the human remains, reappeared within the house. Addendum-957-Lambda: As of 13/03/2007, Foundation linguists have managed to translate enough of SCP-957's language to decipher basic sentences and phrases spoken by the entity. This information is not to be made known to SCP-957 and personnel are to continue to communicate with it solely in English. Addendum-957-Omega: On 06/06/2008, SCP-957 was noted to engage in an extended conversation in its native language with an unseen individual. The audio from this exchange was recorded by hidden audio and video recording devices within the house, translated by Foundation linguists, and transcribed below. <Begin Log> SCP-957: How much longer do I have to stay here? ???: It will be a while, <friend/brother>. Your disguise is working wonderfully and your <UNKNOWN: "WOFRET"> is extremely convincing. Much better than that [REDACTED]3. And you still get to talk in our language freely, right?

If SCP-957-1 is unable to do this, SCP-957 will go out and retrieve a subject. However, it appears to dislike doing this. 2. e.g. additional limbs, reptilian scales, rearrangement of appendages 3. The description detailed by the unseen entity closely resembles that of SCP-████. Investigation is underway to discover the connection between these two objects, but no overt similarities have yet been found. 4. Three (3) months after this, an incident resembling the events from Addendum-957-Gamma occurred. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-957" by marslifeform, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-958 | safe | SCP-958-A Item #: SCP-958 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-958-A instances are to be contained in Storage Unit 11 at Site-██ in an inactive state. SCP-958-B instances are to be contained in Storage Unit 13 at Site-██ if neutralization is not feasible. Description: SCP-958-A is a humanoid toy robot, composed primarily of plastic and tin. SCP-958-A is nineteen centimeters tall and has a mass of 214.8 grams. The words "General-Beep®, by Dr. Wondertainment" are inscribed upon the bottom of SCP-958-A's right foot. When activated via a switch on the back of its head, SCP-958-A becomes capable of speech and limited autonomous movement. It will use these to actively seek out a child under the age of thirteen. While it will respond to those of or over the age of thirteen, it will often attempt to redirect conversation toward aiding it in finding a child. When exposed to a child under the age of thirteen, SCP-958-A will frequently discuss historical military accomplishments and will often suggest exposing other children to it or other instances of SCP-958-A. These conversations exhibit no compulsive effects, and the child is able to deactivate SCP-958-A via its switch without any resistance. Should the child express interest in what SCP-958-A discusses and/or plays with an active SCP-958-A for a cumulative six hours, SCP-958-A will give the child information on how to build an instance of SCP-958-B. This information cannot be used by anyone other than the child in question; attempts by other individuals to utilize it will result in a non-anomalous creation, with similar results when a previously exposed child turns thirteen. Further mental effects caused by SCP-958-A are currently being studied, however it is highly likely that SCP-958-A somehow affects how children interpret SCP-958-B and scenarios involving them. Furthermore, unconfirmed testimonies claim SCP-958-A will suggest uses for SCP-958-B in games and activities. For further information see Addendum A. An instance of SCP-958-B SCP-958-B are objects created using the knowledge imparted by SCP-958-A. SCP-958-B instances vary greatly in appearance and function, but all recorded instances have been weapons of some form created from a wide variety of miscellaneous objects.1 Ammunition and payloads used by SCP-958-B are unconventional and/or anomalous - notable examples include bursts of non-anomalous paint, toys and plush dolls ejected at high speeds, and beams of focused light capable of melting steel. Addendum A: SCP-958 was originally detected in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 04/12/1986. Thirteen children accompanied by eleven instances of SCP-958-A and fifteen instances of SCP-958-B were seen walking to an abandoned industrial complex on the southern edge of the city. The children entered one of the buildings after destroying its entrance with several SCP-958-B. Foundation forces moved into the building in an effort to contain SCP-958 without harming the children. Beyond the door that would have otherwise contained the facility's furnace was an extradimensional space that was similar to the rest of the building, albeit heavily degraded and rusted. Within the extradimensional space the MTF encountered dozens of non-anomalous individuals, with most suffering from injuries likely caused by industrial accidents, within a room filled with dilapidated industrial equipment. Objects produced therein all had "The Factory" emblazoned on them. Most of the children were using the SCP-958-B instances to attack the equipment and a single anomalous entity with multiple limbs, while two were using non-lethal SCP-958-B to incapacitate those who tried to interfere, including the MTF. As the MTF prioritized evacuating the workers,2 the children were able to terminate the anomalous entity and reduce it to ash prior to the Foundation being able to disable them. Upon the death of the entity, all power within the facility was lost. The children then allowed themselves to be captured and their SCP-958 deactivated and confiscated. Debriefing of the children revealed no major cognitive changes, and none exhibited signs of acting under anomalous compulsion. They all claimed they had been playing a game, the rules and location of which were suggested by their SCP-958-A. Each were given amnestics and returned to their caretakers with suitable cover stories without issue. As of 2014, none of the children or their families have been detected to be part of any anomalous phenomena. While four other instances of SCP-958-A have been recovered since, no other assaults on locations held by The Factory have been detected to date. + Interview SCP-958-A-1 - Close Interview <Begin Log> Agent Jovahgo: Hello, SCP-958-A. SCP-958-A: THAT'S GENERAL-BEEP TO YOU, LIEUTENANT. Agent Jovahgo: Ah, sorry. Hello, General-Beep. I want to ask you some questions. Permission to speak freely? SCP-958-A: AT EASE. ASK AWAY. Agent Jovahgo: Where do you come from? SCP-958-A: GENERAL-BEEP IS THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF DR. WONDERTAINMENT. Agent Jovahgo: Of course you are. Well, can you tell me about the child you were with? SCP-958-A: ELLEN WAS A GOOD LITTLE SOLDIER, VERY CREATIVE THINKER. I MISS HER. SHE WAS GOOD AT LISTENING. Agent Jovahgo: What kind of things would you tell her? SCP-958-A: OF THE MANY HUMAN MILITARISTIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGHOUT HISTORY, SUCH AS THE PEOPLE IT HAS FREED AND THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IT HAS FUNDED. Agent Jovahgo: What about telling her to how to create SCP-958-B, the weapons? SCP-958-A: WEAPONS? Agent Jovahgo: We confiscated what Ellen described as a "laser rifle," which I personally watched melt a conveyor belt. We're fairly sure one of the kids was pushing an IED around in a little red wagon. SCP-958-A: THERE SEEMS TO BE A MISUNDERSTANDING, LIEUTENANT. THOSE ARE TOYS, LIKE MYSELF. THE CHILDREN USE THEM TO PLAY GAMES. Agent Jovahgo: So storming that place was a game? SCP-958-A: A VERY FUN GAME. Agent Jovahgo: What if the children hurt themselves with these toys? And that place was really dangerous. SCP-958-A: DR. WONDERTAINMENT IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY PERSONAL OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OR LOSS WHICH MAY RESULT FROM THE OPERATION OF GENERAL-BEEP. HOWEVER, I DID MAKE SURE ELLEN HAD HER DR. WONDERTAINMENT'S YOUNG SURGEON'S TRANSPLANT KIT3 WITH HER. Agent Jovahgo: How considerate. The one thing I don't get, why not just send an army of little robots? Or big robots? If Dr. Wondertainment can mass-produce things with that much power, why does he need outside help? Why involve kids at all? SCP-958-A: BECAUSE DR. WONDERTAINMENT IS A TOYMAKER. <End Log> Footnotes 1. Common examples include condiment bottles, planks of wood, glass bottles, duct tape, and rubber bands. 2. The workers claimed to have entered The Factory "Floor" as early as 1928, despite not matching the age that would require. Those who could were reintegrated into society, with the remaining number integrated into the D-Class program. 3. See SCP-1103 for more information. |
SCP-959 | safe | Item #: SCP-959 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-959 is to be sequestered in a 6 m x 8 m room at Site-██ with adequate furnishings and reading material for comfort within SCP guidelines. Only personnel who have passed psychological screening may interact with SCP-959. All personnel entering the room must obtain a copy of the photograph in the file tray next to the door as a reminder that what they are observing is, in fact, the phenomenon SCP-959 exhibits. This photo is to be placed back into the tray upon exiting. Any overtly aberrant behavior exhibited by personnel beyond mild revulsion must be recorded and said personnel transferred to other duties after further screening sees them fit to do so. SCP-959 is not to be given any food outside of the diet prescribed by Physician ██████ due to recent diagnosis (see Addendum 959-a). Subject is not allowed outside of his room without an armed guard present at all times for protection and only during exercise regimen (see Addendum 959-a). SCP-959 is allowed standard personal grooming equipment and access to a razor and mustache wax to maintain his appearance so long as no signs of tendencies towards self-mutilation are shown. Under no circumstances is SCP-959 allowed to interact with other sentient SCPs unless for the purposes of testing and only by the express written approval of Dr. ███████. Under no circumstances are any personnel who were previously assigned to SCP-231-7 to be assigned to SCP-959 due to [DATA EXPUNGED] more information see video attachment to Incident Report ███-██. Description: Subject's ability initially activated on ███████████, 20██, at █████████ Airport during the boarding of flight ████ to ██████████, ██ (see Incident Report ███-█). The manifestation in question only occurs when a sentient being is looking directly at SCP-959. He then takes on the appearance of someone or something from that being's past memories that was the cause of greatest personal discomfort. This reaction seems to be completely involuntary and continuous regardless of whether SCP-959 is asleep or awake. Reactions to the manifestation have ranged from mild discomfort to [REDACTED]. Each D-level personnel exposed during testing reported seeing something different exclusive to that individual (see Document 959-1a). The area of effect seems to extend to approximately a 37 meter radius in all directions as long as the subject is within a direct line of sight. Manifestation does not occur when viewed through a secondary electronic source such as a camera. Mirrors, however, seem not to be a deterrent to the manifestation as [DATA EXPUNGED], even perceived as mocking them. SCP-959 still sees a reflection in mirrors as normal at time of this report. SCP-959 is a 35 year old Caucasian male with brown eyes, bald head, and brown handlebar mustache standing approximately 1.6 m tall and weighing 137 kg. These features can only be observed through cameras or indirect viewing at range due to the manifestation. Addendum 959-a: Upon admission to Site-██, SCP-959 underwent full medical screening. Tests confirmed SCP-959 is currently suffering from mild adult onset diabetes and has been prescribed oral medications along with a diet and exercise regimen that must be adhered to. Application of SCP-500 considered but rejected as the condition is considered to be reversible and not life threatening if the physician's instructions are followed. Antidepressants have also been prescribed as the isolation due to the manifestation is taking a negative psychological toll. Addendum 959-b: Has been classified Safe after exhibiting no signs of the desire to escape. -Dr. █████████ Addendum 959-c: ██ months after being brought to the Foundation, the subject has requested to be involved in Foundation matters, claiming, "I want to be of use in some way." SCP-959 believes the Foundation to be a positive influence on the world despite [REDACTED] and could be of use during interrogations. Subject was warned that this would be highly unlikely, but a request was submitted and is pending a determination. -Dr. █████████ I didn't really want to waste anyone's time on this, but just saying it would make the poor bastard stop crying. Watching him crying while looking like [REDACTED] really made me feel ill. -Dr █████████ Document 959-1a: Experiment Log (Subject and SCP-959 placed in a two-cell chamber walled off from one another with a 10 cm thick sheet of shatterproof Plexiglas. SCP-959 was told to sit in a chair and not speak.) Subject: D-█████ Result: Subject stared and shook his head and muttered for approximately 5 minutes before being asked what he had seen. Subject replied, "He looks just like my dead brother, I wasn't able to [REDACTED]." Subject was escorted from room without incident. Subject: D-█████ Result: Subject began to apologize profusely, apparently believing the manifestation to be her mother. Subject made promises that she would [REDACTED]. Subject had to be forcibly removed from the testing chamber and sedated. Subject: D-█████ Result: Subject immediately began screaming in a high-pitched, incomprehensible tone and started clawing at the door and tried to attack the guard when it was opened. Subject was terminated. Lip-reading specialist on-site believes what was being screamed was [REDACTED]. Subject: Agent ███████ Result: Subject stared at SCP-959 for approximately 5 minutes before being asked what he was looking at. Subject suddenly began crying and confessing to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Subject had to be removed and sedated. Upon removal of the subject, SCP-959 vomited and asked that testing be halted for the day. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-959" by Hivemind, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-960 | safe | Item #: SCP-960 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-960 must be kept in a 10 cm-thick seamless, steel cubic container measuring 50 cm x 50 cm x 60 cm. Those conducting research upon it are to be the only ones given the codes that unlock its room and container. Any handling of SCP-960 is to be conducted while the researcher is wearing gloves or other protective equipment (except when it is being tested upon D-class or other subjects). Until he or she has created nine original works, any human who comes into contact with SCP-960 by the skin is to be kept in an isolation ward and provided with whatever supplies they ask for, given that these items are cleared for their use by appropriate officials. Immediately after completion of the ninth opus, however, the subject is to be terminated. Description: SCP-960 is a sizable fragment of what is speculated to be an ancient Greek vase, discovered on the island of ████, near the site of the ancient Minoan city of ███████. On its surface are depicted three Muses; the two identifiable ones are Melpomene, in the middle, and Clio, on the left. The one on the right, shown as holding a dagger to her own neck, has never been seen in any other piece of Greco-Roman art and cannot be identified as appearing in any recorded myth. A short but variable time after a human touches SCP-960, the subject will be struck at ever-closer intervals by a series of original ideas. The natures of these inspirations always follow a strict progression: A piece of music (usually classical; occasionally, a fully-formed opera) An intricate choreography A painting, drawing, or sculpture A psychological or sociological insight A work of fiction of variable length, or a detailed (and true) autobiography A spiritual revelation A work of drama One joke (which the subject typically repeats as often as conversations allow) A scientific breakthrough Subjects exposed to SCP-960 will invariably request the materials they need to complete these works; if they do not receive them, they will become belligerent and uncooperative until their requests are satisfied or until they find suitable substitutes. It is worth noting that the ideas are never written down in any sort of rough copy; they only ever appear as the final product, as if a full-fledged idea had entered the subject's head and left it unchanged. Subjects also display extraordinary talent in each of the fields listed above, but only for as long as they are working on completing their tasks. After the aforementioned itinerary is exhausted, the inspirations become more sinister. All creative energy previously spent on the arts and sciences is focused on devising ingenious methods of violence. Instead of asking for materials at this stage, the subject will begin to seek them out proactively. Records pertaining to the stages of exposure are detailed in the Addenda. Addendum 960-01: Incident 01, est. date 20/07/████ SCP-960 found by amateur archaeologist ██████ ██████████, south of the city of ███████; it is unknown exactly when he first touched the artifact, but family later reported that he began to ask them for a series of artistic and scientific supplies, despite his previous lack of interest in either field. Created by Mr. ██████████ were the following: A symphony, entitled "██████████ ███", written for a full orchestra and an extensive percussion section. A complex ballet, set to the previously mentioned symphony, containing one of the most intricate pas de deux choreographed. A triptych depicting strikingly detailed images of what would appear to be the Holy Trinity. A corollary to Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning. A moving account of his own life, starting from his birth and culminating with the events of the previous year. A rebuttal of Nikolai Berdyaev's 1952 essay The Truth of Orthodoxy. A set of three one-act plays centered around the theme of alienation in a society dedicated to individual achievement, entitled (in Greek): ██ ███████, ████, and █████ █ ██. [DATA EXPUNGED] "Extremely, unnecessarily crude. I fail to see the humor in this." -Dr. █████ A truly four-dimensional model of an octachoron. Under study. One week after this last accomplishment, by the family's reckoning, the ██████████' next-door neighbor died in a fire at her home. The [DATA EXPUNGED] Fire Department issued a report naming the source of the blaze to be a can of hairspray fitted internally with a complicated mechanism similar to a pilot light on a stove and left on her bathroom counter. After local authorities learned that Mr. ██████████ had disappeared without warning just prior to his neighbor's death, the archaeologist was brought in for questioning. He, however, escaped the police by impaling [DATA EXPUNGED] and fighting his way out of the station to a side street. He then fled on foot; however, Agent ████, who had heard reports of a murderer with abnormal strength on the run, captured the man and, when it became clear that no alternative solution presented itself, was required to terminate the subject. Note: Mr. ██████████ wrote in his notes about a fourth figure on the fragment he discovered; this figure was apparently not a muse, but the depiction of a god outside the accepted Greco-Roman pantheon. Its significance is unclear, and Mr. ██████████ failed to include any photographs or sketches of the deity in his notebook. EDIT: The fragment with the unidentified deity has been retrieved and reattached. Its function is still not known. Addendum 960-02: Incident 02, 03/02/████ The curator of the [DATA REDACTED] Museum of Art in ████, ██, United States, having recently acquired SCP-960 and placed it in storage, decided to put it on display. Security footage shows the curator, Dr. ██████ ███, moving the artifact from the basement to a display case on the second floor, without wearing anything on his hands. He spent the next several weeks in his home [which he would have even if SCP-960 had no extraordinary properties, since he had been placed on probation by the museum's board of advisors for disregarding protocol in transporting the fragment without gloves], during which time he brought about: A rock opera chronicling the rise and fall of the Roman emperor Octavian, left untitled. An emotive modern dance routine involving two male dancers and a trapdoor. A sculpture of himself sculpting Michelangelo creating the Pietà. Described as "intriguingly ironic." What would later be known as [DATA REDACTED]. A science-fiction novella about humankind being unknowingly forced into a hopeless battle against extraterrestrial forces by a godlike ancestral species. Overbearingly pessimistic in theme and tone. An outline for the polity and doctrine of an entirely new branch of Protestant Christianity, which he named ██████. (Dr. ████ wishes it to be known that the ideology expressed within these documents, while indeed inventive, is tremendously vitriolic. It is possible that the more violent aspects of SCP-960 mingled with the earlier ones- future research should be conducted to verify whether this is possible, or whether Dr. ███ was just a particularly deranged individual.) A five-act historical drama about the early stages of the American Revolutionary War; places emphasis upon onstage violence. Has been described as what would happen if Quentin Tarantino collaborated with William Shakespeare to write a play about American history. A "lightbulb joke"; researchers with particular political leanings have deemed it unfunny. An explanation of the precise nature of dark matter; the validity of this explanation has yet to be determined. After an undetermined length of time had passed since this last dissertation, Dr. ███ was caught by state law enforcement as he was plotting a way to free the inmates of a nearby maximum-security prison. Targets of the jailbreak given particular emphasis in the scheme included mass murderers [DATA REDACTED], and local serial highway sniper [DATA REDACTED]. When Dr. ███ refused to surrender and attempted to attack one of the officers, he was killed at the scene. Addendum 960-03: Incident 03, 19/04/████ The home of the doctor aforementioned was the target of a burglary on ███ ██ of the same year, as the loft had been vacant for some time. One of the thieves, Russian-born ████ ████████, was charged with transportation and temporary safekeeping of the fragment, among other goods stolen from the building. ████████ decided to keep the artifact to himself and made his escape from the storehouse where it was being kept, according to a statement made under interrogation by his accomplice. Fresh-looking scratches and chips make it seem that he dropped the fragment somewhere along the way, perhaps breaking off the part with the unknown figure mentioned earlier. [The piece was later found and reattached; unknown whether this was of any real consequence.] He then made a home for himself in the sewer, creating the following over the estimated course of one week. The score, written in varying shades of green, brown, and red on the sewer walls, for a somber Broadway-style musical about two doomed lovers in WWII-era Stalingrad. A tragic retelling of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker from the perspective of the Rat King, written in the same substances as before. Substances used as "ink" were composed of sewage, fecal material of untested origin, and blood from various species, including rat and human. What appeared to be, at one time, a self-portrait; at the time of viewing by Agent ████-███████, the sewage-based "paints" had all but evaporated, leaving only the parts of the image painted in red on the wall. This included the right eye and half of a grinning mouth. ████████ most likely used material with a higher concentration of water to create this, explaining why it disappeared when other samples of it did not. The phrase "i am just fine" repeated a number of times along the walls, primarily in brown. Scrawled beneath this in red were the Russian words [DATA REDACTED]. Note: According to family and doctors' logs, the individual had no history of mental instability prior to contact with SCP-960. Dr. ████'s hypothesis about the "tenth muse" influencing the others may be correct; pending further testing. What could be best described as a stream-of-consciousness poem, printed entirely in red along fifteen meters of the floor of the sewer. Themes included, involved the existence or nonexistence of both the writer and of God, fear of abandonment, and presumably [REDACTED] - the reference, if it is indeed a reference, is cryptic. Little is understood about the "spiritual revelation" brought forth through Mr. ████████ by SCP-960. At first glance, it appears to be a short phrase written in nearly illegible Hebrew, reading "I am the way, the truth, and the life"; however, on closer inspection, the Hebrew characters were composed of strings of English words, detailing what appears to be a [DATA EXPUNGED]. From the quantity of remains in the sewer, it can be concluded that the acts described were performed a number of times. Surviving family members of those taken have not yet been provided with a cover story. A one-act play concerning the tribulations of a man who is sent to prison for a crime he did not commit, and who responds to this by breaking free and slaughtering the jury members who voted him guilty. Culminates in the protagonist's onstage suicide. Carved into the floor with something metallic. "How do you get an elephant to laugh?" "a feather, a feather, two feathers" [Assumed to be a joke; found etched deeply into the skin on Mr. ████████'s back. Unknown how this occurred.] A number of comprehensive diagrams of the anatomy of a rat, accompanied by the claim, written on the ceiling of the sewer and allegedly "proven" by the drawings, that a rat's brain can process and comprehend a number of languages, including English and Russian. This theory has not been submitted to testing, for obvious reasons; however, the lack of ladders or scaffolding in the sewers makes the location of these diagrams much more interesting than their actual content. On the night of ██/██/████, the subject left the sewers and broke into a pawn shop; here, he stole a number of weapons and a massive length of wire. He then forced entry into a nearby office building and made his way to the roof, then began firing indiscriminately at the people beneath him and at those in adjacent buildings. Casualties were not given a definite figure, but are estimated to be at least ██. Police soon responded, but Mr. ████████ managed to incapacitate or kill seven officers on the ground before they made any significant progress. When a police helicopter arrived, ████████ - having tied one end of the wire around his ankles and the other to a small fan attached to the roof - jumped from the building, most likely under the assumption that the wire would act as a bungee cord. It instead severed his feet; vital signs were confirmed absent upon landing. SCP-960 was recovered by the Foundation from the sewers beneath, soon afterward. More recent experiments have not had the detrimental effects of SCP-960 set in so quickly or so vehemently; research should be directed at understanding why Mr. ████████ was such an anomalous case. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-960" by thattallfellow, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-961 | euclid | SCP-961 in full sunlight, 11:42 AM. Item #: SCP-961 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-961 is to be kept outdoors, in its storage container, or in a closed, empty room at Site 38 when not in use for testing. During daylight hours, SCP-961 must be kept in an area exposed to sunlight for as long as possible. Object is to remain under observation by camera at all times. If unusual movement of shadows on SCP-961's face is detected while in full sunlight, object is to be moved indoors and secured in an unoccupied room. SCP-961 is not to be kept in a region where full daylight is not present for at least thirteen (13) consecutive hours, though cloud cover or inclement weather does not seem to activate SCP-961's effect. As seasons change, SCP-961 may be relocated as per Protocol 961-Beta. The storage container discovered with SCP-961 appears to be effective in containing its effect via unknown means. Keeping the artifact in an empty, completely closed room is similarly effective; it is presumed that its effect continues to take place, unnoticed. When indoors for testing purposes, four D-class personnel with a score of 85 or higher on the Lezak-Hooper Short-Term Memory Inventory are to be kept in an empty room with SCP-961 during the last five minutes of its cycle. Under no circumstances is SCP-961's cycle to be allowed to complete outdoors. A digital clock is to be included in the containment room. If events observed with SCP-961 contradict available records, report to researchers supervisor O5 command immediately. Description: SCP-961 is an iron sundial of unknown manufacture, similar in style to late 17th century English models, but lacking any indication of craftsman or previous owners. The sundial has no markings other than Roman numerals in traditional clock formation along the edge, along with a small sticker on the bottom reading "ALEXYLVA UNIVERSITY HISTORY DEPT." No records exist of an institution named “Alexylva University," but the sticker appears to be recent. When exposed to sunlight and properly aligned, SCP-961 functions as a regular sundial without anomalous properties. When sunlight is not present, however, a dark discoloration will appear to emerge from the center and align itself at twelve o'clock; though taking the appearance of a shadow, the discoloration appears to be imprinted on the surface of the sundial and cannot be dispelled by light at any frequency or intensity. The shape will begin moving counterclockwise along the sundial's edge at usual speed, i.e. reaching every numeral one hour after the last. When the shape's rotation returns to the XII, SCP-961 will manifest its primary effect on anyone in a contained space with it. If in an enclosed room, the areas around the room will be unaffected. If the door is not fully closed, the effect will expand to include the widest possible contained area. The effect of giving SCP-961's effect access to the outdoors is unknown, but researchers agree that the possible risks outweigh any possible gain. SCP-961's primary effect takes the form of sudden unconsciousness and vivid hallucinations affecting all people in range. All affected people will experience the same hallucination during any cycle. The hallucination will always take the form of an event in the past, usually one of historical importance. The event will play out before them for exactly ten minutes, including the event's climax. All details about each event as reported by D-class personnel who have experienced the effect match precisely with historical records about the event. At no point has an event witnessed with SCP-961 deviated from historical records; this makes the note recovered along with SCP-961 particularly odd. See Addendum 961-2. Addendum 961-2 classified by order of O5 Command. Many hallucinations do end with a single detail that has not been previously recorded. One person nearby will play a vital role in the unfolding event; during assassinations, they will unlock doors for the assassins or distract witnesses; during battles, they will rally isolated companies and brigades to successful counterattacks. This entity, termed SCP-961-1, varies in physical appearance and dress with each test. The only consistent feature described by observers is a pair of empty black apertures centered where the eyes should be, though much larger than eye sockets (approximately 5 centimeters in diameter). People nearby will converse with the entity without finding the apertures remarkable. At the end of many hallucinations, after the entity ceases to influence events, it will turn towards one of the observers and speak to them; other observers will hear unintelligible conversation, then the hallucination ends. The observer will not recall what was said to them, only a strong sense of fear or panic. The observer who spoke with the entity will develop acute phobia of sleep, darkness, and being alone, which will subside over the course of the following month. Addendum 961-1: Report Log Date Number of Observers Description ██/23/0█ 1 First display of SCP-961 abilities. Single researcher was sweeping in containment chamber when cycle ended. Later reported a hallucination in which a musician is stabbed through the heart by his girlfriend. All details and descriptions match the events of the death of [REDACTED] in 200█ though death was ruled a suicide. Investigation into SCP-961's abilities begins. 02/10/0█ 4 First fully-regulated test of SCP-961. Observers saw a crowded theater in the middle of a play, production confirmed as Our American Cousin. Observers see the guards around the main balcony door distracted, led into an alley, and beaten unconscious. As the assailant turned to allow another man access to the door, very distinctive facial features are first noticed. Entity labeled SCP-961-1. 09/14/1█ 4 Observers see a battle, find themselves near an officer's tent. Commanding general appears to be under the influence of multiple narcotics, provided to him by an unseen doctor. Armies dressed in 19th century English and Prussian uniforms are seen breaking through defensive lines. The doctor emerges, confirmed to be SCP-961-1, speaks to one observer; some feet away, a second observer hears muttering, along with "you're welcome." CLASSIFIED BY ORDER OF O5 COMMAND—AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY + Addendum 961-2: Recovery Report - Hide SCP-961 was recovered when a standard sweep of radio frequencies typically used by SCP-877 detected a transmission emanating from an uninhabited wooded area near █████, Arkansas. Mobile units responding to the transmission located a wooden box containing SCP-961; the wood of the box contained unknown metallic fragments and was fitted with a device similar to SCP-877. Writing on the box indicates it was being used for shipment via an unknown delivery service called "PTS" or "Phitransimun Combine"; its origin was a location called "Alexandria of Forests" and its destination was labeled as "Novo Scipius of Waters". A note was found inside the box, written in a language approximating both Cherokee and Latin, with syntactic traces of Greek and Nahuatl included. Translated, the note reads as follows: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, PRODUCT UNSATISFACTORY. THE PRESENCE OF NUMEROUS INACCURACIES IS UNACCEPTABLE. FIRST INACCURACY NOTED AT 207 B.E. AT METAURO RIVER. MOST EVENTS INCORRECT AFTERWARDS. PLEASE IDENTIFY [illegible] ENTITY INFLUENCING EVENTS. RETURNING FOR FULL REFUND.

SCP-962 | euclid | Item #: SCP-962 Special Containment Procedures: Due to its immobility, SCP-962 is to be left in the valley in which it was found. A █ kilometer perimeter is to be set up around the object. Any civilians seeking to pass the perimeter are to be turned away under the premise that a nuclear waste containment site is within. Any persons not affiliated with the Foundation found within the area are to be interrogated and issued Class A amnestics. A no-fly zone is to be enforced for the same perimeter. To discourage growth of SCP-962's range, four live cattle and two tons of timber are to be airdropped near SCP-962 on a weekly basis. Any balloons released by SCP-962 are to be shot down, and reasonable effort made to recover the manuscripts. Should a balloon escape and be found by a civilian, Class A amnestics are to be administered, and the balloon and attached writings confiscated. All manuscripts are to be stored in a minimal-security vault, with "rants" stored in a separate vault. Level two or higher personnel wishing to read materials produced by SCP-962 may submit a request to the project director. Description: SCP-962 is a large metal tower located in a valley in the ██████ Mountains in [REDACTED]. It is made primarily of steel, though other materials are present. The tower is approximately 281 meters tall, with a 2575 square meter base. It twists and tapers somewhat as it rises from the ground. The top third of the tower is empty. An inner wall in the lower area renders it opaque to imaging. SCP-962 can open an aperture anywhere on its surface. SCP-962 produces and controls an estimated 13,500 "servitors", collectively designated SCP-962-1. Specimens of SCP-962-1 are cybernetically augmented animals. These augmentations usually force the animals into a bipedal gait, and are often accompanied by crude cosmetic alterations such as the removal of a snout, with the apparent goal of making the servitors appear more human-like. The nervous system of members of SCP-962-1 is slaved to implanted electrodes, which allow them to be controlled by a central source, assumed to be the tower itself. These servitors fulfill a number of roles. Many of them mine for ore in an extensive system of tunnels excavated below the valley, which is then refined by the tower. Others repair damage to the structure or other servitors. A small number construct roads, apparently to facilitate movement of SCP-962-1. The remaining servitors hunt down and destroy all non-human life in the valley. There are no recorded instances of any member of SCP-962-1 attacking a human or a machine, even in self-defense. Frequently, the corpses of animals killed in these hunts are brought back to SCP-962 for conversion into SCP-962-1. Plants may also be returned for use as fuel. Despite the damage caused by their augmentations, servitors are very effective at their roles, and seem to be built specifically for them. Approximately sixty times a day, SCP-962 will release a hydrogen-filled balloon from an aperture in the empty region near its top. These balloons are made from animal tissue of varying species, believed to be from the animals brought in by SCP-962-1. Attached to each balloon is a manuscript, written in English and typically on paper or vellum. The length, content, and style of writing varies greatly. Manuscripts have taken a variety of forms, including poems, novels, and collections of essays. These manuscripts exhibit no anomalous properties, but are generally of extremely high writing quality, strongly suggesting sapience on the part of SCP-962. Of possible note is the general optimism present in these writings, as well as the lack of any mention of non-human life. Very rarely, SCP-962 will release a balloon with a document attached that is a departure from its usual writings. These manuscripts are disjointed, rambling, and bizarre "rants", the exact meaning of which is unclear. In them, SCP-962 explicitly praises humans, consistently identifying mankind as the "Great Ones" it is trying to please. See Document 962-382 for an example. The origin of SCP-962 is unclear, though estimations based on its mining rate suggest that it has existed for no more than twenty years. Document 962-382: The following is an excerpt from one of SCP-962's rants. Grammar, punctuation, and emphasis have been left the same, though text color has been omitted. Cleanse the WORLD for the Great Ones Cleanse the WORLD for the Great Ones who greater than you your majesty your sublime nature Great Ones do I do right? The flesh and wood serve you unite with the steel you love do you love me too I am what you love. Great Ones see as I do my duty my passion forgive the slowpace the steel takes TIME.

SCP-963 | euclid | SCP-963-1, without a donor. Item #: SCP-963 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-963-1 is to be given into the care of a current D level operative, as well as personnel classified as Dr. Bright's assistant. This assistant is to be chosen by O5-█ for loyalty to the Foundation, as well as psychological stability. SCP-963 is to be attached to the subject's forehead or the back of the subject's hand using a suitably strong epoxy. SCP-963-1 is now hung by a chain from subject's neck. 963-1 is not allowed to be hidden upon the subject's body. Any attempt to do so will be met with lethal force. If the current D-level subject exceeds a thirty-day life span, they are to be executed and a new subject chosen to wear 963-1. By order of O5-█, any body SCP-963-1 is installed upon is given a stay of execution until it passes on of natural causes, or 963-1 is transferred to a new host. ATTENTION: As of 12/13/████ 963-1 is not allowed in proximity of any Euclid or Keter class humanoid SCPs. This directive is to be enforced lethally. Rescinded, O5-6, O5-8, O5-9 ATTENTION: As of Incident-239-b Clef-Kondraki, SCP-963-1 is not allowed at Site 17 without the express permission of three O5's. Violations are to be met with lethal force. Rescinded, O5-6, O5-8, O5-9 Description: SCP-963-1 is an ornate amulet approximately 15 centimeters in circumference made from white gold, with thirteen (13) ██k brilliant-cut diamonds surrounding a ███k oval-cut ruby in a starburst pattern. It was discovered in the personal effects of ██████ ███ who had been found dead by apparent suicide, surrounded by a number of supernaturally-related books. Our Agent in the area found that 963-1 was incapable of being damaged and brought it in according to protocol XLR-8R-██. Dr. Jack Bright,1 a Junior Staff researcher of good standing, was assigned the responsibility of researching SCP-963-1's capabilities, and granted access to [REDACTED]. Later that year, SCP-076-2 broke containment (see document 076-2-19A), leading to [REDACTED] deaths and ██ casualties. Doctor Bright was transporting SCP-963-1 by hand past SCP-076-2's containment unit, and was among the first KIB (killed in breach). Approximately █ days later, D1-113, tasked to clear the area of rubble, discovered 963-1 among the wreckage and picked it up. An immediate, noticeable change came over D1-113. Interview follows. Interview Log x████, Date: ██-█-████ ████: Could you please tell me your name? D1-113: It's Jack Bright, you damn well know it is! ████: I believe you are Tom Higly, working for us as part of your life sentence. D1-113: Don't be ridiculous! I couldn't possibly be- (SCP-963-1 is removed at this time from D1-113's possession. A further MRI shows that D1-113 ceases all higher brain functions. 963-1 is returned, upon which brain function returns.) ████: Dr. Bright? D1-113: What? ████: We appear to have a problem. After much experimentation, it has been discovered that when any living anthropoid comes into direct skin contact with SCP-963-1, the mind of the subject is wiped, and that of Dr. Bright is projected from 963-1 onto the subject. It is known that memories native to Dr. Bright transfer from host to host. If a subject maintains contact for thirty (30) days, their brain functions become a duplicate of the late Dr. Bright's. If 963-1 is removed after this time period, the subject retains an independent copy of the consciousness of Jack Bright. Sanctions were put in place to prevent multiple instances of Dr. Bright from being created to prevent Dr. Bright from collaborating with himself, however it was found this was not necessary, as Doctor Bright has proven thoroughly dedicated to the Foundation and its cause. Doctor Bright himself has performed extensive experimentation on SCP-963-1, with the expressed desire for release from it. Interviews with Doctor Bright indicate that ██████ ███ killed himself in the process of empowering SCP-963-1, and was therefore never able to slave his own consciousness to the amulet. Doctor Bright hypothesizes that he accidentally activated 963-1's power by being killed, instead of killing himself as the original creator had done. SCP-963-2, shown here [DATA EXPUNGED] Entry Regarding SCP-963-2 On ██/██/████, orders were given by O5-9 to attempt to replicate SCP-963-1. All attempts met with failure until SCP-963-2, at which point [SUBSEQUENT DATA EXPUNGED] ALL INFORMATION REGARDING SCP-963-2 IS CLASSIFIED LEVEL 5. ANYONE ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT SCP-963-2 WITHOUT LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE WILL BE TERMINATED. Footnotes 1. Who has been working for the Foundation since the containment of SCP-590.

SCP-964 | euclid | Item #: SCP-964 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-964 is currently stored in a standard containment chamber at Site-45. Access to the object is prohibited for all personnel of Site-45 regardless of security level. In the event of a containment breach site security must evacuate all compromised sectors, contact Site-11, and await arrival of MTF teams tasked with object's recontainment. Site-45 staff that came in contact with SCP-964 must be processed according to protocol 964Δ6h. If number of affected personnel exceeds 20%, or protocol 964Δ6h cannot be enacted, SCP-964 must be relocated to another Site immediately. Research on SCP-964 must be conducted remotely, using suitable Foundation facilities located at least 200 km from the Site currently housing the object. All interactions with SCP-964 related materials must be done according to protocol 964Δ6d. All documentation on SCP-964 must be transferred into digital format weekly, and hard copies subsequently incinerated. All digital data must be processed according to protocol 964Δ6r once every two weeks. Description: SCP-964 is a prototype of a next-generation active camouflage system, developed by ███████████████ under a contract with the U.S. DoD. The object was recovered in 2004 from a ███████████████ facility near ███████, Nebraska. SCP-964 displays the ability to reconstruct itself on the atomic level. This reconstruction process can take up to 16 hours and causes a complete change of the object's appearance, physical properties and chemical composition. The result is usually a solid, commonly-encountered object weighing between 2 and 100 kg and not displaying dangerous or anomalous properties. In rare cases, high-energy, radioactive or explosive objects, unenclosed fluids, living entities and objects with mass up to 65 tons have been observed. Although the new reconstruction can be theoretically postponed indefinitely, SCP-964 has not remained stable for more than two weeks since its containment by the SCP Foundation. SCP-964 will initiate the reconstruction process whenever it "detects" permanent data related to its current manifestation. This encompasses all known data formats and storage mediums, including text, photographic materials, encrypted digital data and human long-term memory. This reaction can be delayed by increasing the medium's complexity and distance from SCP-964. While no method of completely stopping this phenomenon has been found so far, protocols 964Δ6a-r proved mostly successful in minimizing the dangers it can represent to on-site personnel. Incident Report 964-11: On 22/09/2006, the message "SCP-964 exists" was used to trigger reconstruction process as part of scheduled testing in object's self-preservation mechanisms. After the start of reconstruction object was observed to rapidly lose mass, until it completely disintegrated. SCP-964 was subsequently reclassified as neutralized. Two months after the incident, a series of accidents suggesting SCP-964 involvement was reported in ████, Sweden. Object successfully recontained. Incident Report 964-23: On 15/01/2008 after a typical reconstruction process, SCP-964, at the time contained at Site-30, turned into approximately 50 liters of an unidentified acidic solution. SCP-964 melted the floor of its containment chamber and proceeded to leak through maintenance shafts until it initiated new reconstruction process in a corridor four levels below. Site-30 security was dispatched to the site of the incident. After their arrival, close proximity to several video recorders caused SCP-964 to undergo a rapid series of transformations, culminating with a 20-m-diameter sphere of high-temperature plasma. SCP-964 was subsequently found in the debris, manifested as a 2-m-tall stuffed toy bear, and relocated to another Site. Addendum 964a: In light of incident 964-23, personnel of the Site housing SCP-964 are no longer allowed access to documentation related to the object or to the object itself. Information included in transfer documents must be replaced with document 964-R. Document 964-R must classify SCP-964 as a Keter-level object and contain a fabricated description of the object composed from the properties most likely to cause a containment breach in event they are displayed by SCP-964. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-964" by anqxyr, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-965 | euclid | Item #: SCP-965 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-965 is contained within a framed, ready-to-install window (henceforth referred to as SCP-965-1) composed of at least six (6) panes of clear glass (or similar material) measuring at least 15cm x 30cm. SCP-965-1 must in turn be kept within an environmentally controlled storage facility capable of withstanding significant seismic disturbances. SCP-965-1 should be inspected at least once per week to check for degradation of material. At all times, at least two (2) similar framed windows must be present and within separate chambers in additional padding and insulation, with no other window pane measuring greater than 14cm wide or 29 cm tall between them and the current SCP-965-1. The lighting within the chamber containing SCP-965 must be at a minimum of 130 candelas at any time personnel are within said chamber, except during research. While SCP-965 is currently contained within SCP-965-1, our inability to control its movement upon destruction of SCP-965-1 through means beyond proximity have prompted its elevation to Euclid status. Research into a more permanent means to contain SCP-965 is ongoing and individual experiments may be carried out by Clearance Level 1 personnel after approval by Level 3 administration. Description: SCP-965 is a visual manifestation that occurs within framed windows. This manifestation takes the shape of the shadowed face of an apparently pale-skinned male that is looking through the window. The exact details shown vary, as does the direction of orientation as well as the age of the person; however, sufficient detail shows it to consistently be the same being at differing points of its life, between the approximate ages of 10 and 55. Research into an individual matching SCP-965 has thus far proven inconclusive. SCP-965 will only appear when the relative lighting on the "outside" of the window falls below 5 candelas, regardless of lighting on the "inside." Such terms are possible because the face will only appear in a fully assembled window frame, though it does not need to be currently installed. Thus far, SCP-965 has not shown any ability to intentionally move from one glass pane to another, even within the same installation; it is only able to attain a new manifestation point upon the destruction of the current SCP-965-1, at which point its new habitat will be reclassified as SCP-965-1. The face is visible from the outside portion of SCP-965-1, but despite its two-dimensional nature it is described as "looking away, into the room." Initial effects caused by SCP-965 are reports of unease, nervousness and low-grade paranoia: these sensations will overcome anyone within visual range of the manifestation, even if obscured (such as by curtains.) Based upon reports pertaining to residents of the house where SCP-965 was discovered encountering problems sleeping, experiments were conducted using D-class personnel who were made to sleep in a chamber where SCP-965-1 was installed. An individual that is sleeping in any area visible to SCP-965 when it manifests will invariably have dreams of a disturbing nature, usually involving being chased, attacked, tormented, etc., though without physical contact within the dream. With repeated incidents involving the same subject, as few as three (3) but never more than ten (10) dream cycles before onset, SCP-965 will begin manifesting with a more explicit smile than normal; after this point, the subject will begin complaining of heartburn or abdominal pain, and often begin to vomit blood or have blood in bodily wastes. This is caused by the victim suffering ulcers and low-grade hemorrhaging throughout varied locations in their gastrointestinal tract. The current hypothesis as to the cause of these afflictions is SCP-965's influence artificially accelerating the body's reactions to elevated stress and fear levels. Subjects who advance to this stage have also reported continuing experiences of the facial manifestations in windows during dreams, as well as in peripheral vision while awake, even after being removed from the vicinity of SCP-965. Most suffer from low-grade but lasting feelings of paranoia, as well as sensations that they are being watched or followed. Whether this is in fact some remnant influence left behind or standard symptoms of distress followed by the traumatic intrusion of SCP-965 into their psyche is under investigation. SCP-965 has produced no noise to date, and there have been no reported instances of SCP-965 animating in any way once it appears; however it is capable of disappearing and reappearing at will in different poses. SCP-965 also shows signs of sentience; it has been observed to show disappointment if it manifests to an empty room, irritation or anger when manifesting before someone that had broken a prior SCP-965-1, and one instance of visible fear when in the presence of Agent ███████ who had earlier participated in its retrieval. Addendum: Incident 965-1: On ██/██/19██, routine testing involving the destruction of SCP-965-1 confirmed that while a multi-paned window may act as multiple holding zones, sufficient damage to the overall structure disqualifies it as a possible replacement; unfortunately SCP-965 instead manifested in an adjacent experimentation chamber's observational window. Due to the high standards of Foundation equipment, this required the window's complete removal and destruction via tactical breaching charge. SCP-965 was viewed with significantly hostile expressions for one month after the incident. Addendum: Incident 965-2: On ██/██/20██, Doctor L██████ requested transfer away from the project involving SCP-965. She was reported as beginning to have visions of SCP-965 and to experience feelings of paranoia, similar to those affected during sleep, despite not having slept in the presence of SCP-965 herself. Dr. L██████ was temporarily relieved of duties and assigned to psychological care. No other instances of SCP-965 affecting personnel who have not slept in its presence have been reported. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-965" by ChazzK, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-966 | euclid | SCP-966-2 (as seen through infrared filters) Item #: SCP-966 Special Containment Procedures: MTF Iota-1 "Dream Hunters" and MTF Iota-2 "Air Chasers" are to regularly be on the lookout for news about sudden, violent human deaths related to sleep deprivation, in order to find and neutralize remaining wild instances of SCP-966. The four specimens of SCP-966 (three males, designated SCP-966-1, SCP-966-3, and SCP-966-4, and one female, designated SCP-966-2) acquired by the Foundation must be contained in a 10 x 10 m room made of steel, lined with lead, located on Site-██. Two security cameras with infrared filters and infrared-sensitive film are to be installed inside the room. Each specimen of SCP-966 is to be fed with 20 kg of meat every month. In the event of SCP-966-2 giving birth, the newborn specimen is to be studied and disposed of before it reaches maturity. Description: SCP-966 are predatory creatures that resemble hairless, digitigrade humans, possessing an elongated face with a mouth lined with needle-like teeth. On each hand, they have five claws that can be up to 20 cm long. Although sharp, these are easily broken, making them unfit for combat. SCP-966's height ranges from 1.4 to 1.6 meters, and they can reach up to 30 kg in weight. Physically, SCP-966 are weak, possessing hollow bones and low muscular density. They do not seem to rest through sleep; instead, they will suddenly cease all movement at seemingly random intervals of time, resuming normal activity three to five minutes later. SCP-966 are visible only at wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to about 900 nm. This applies to all of SCP-966's tissues. If their skin, muscles or organs have suffered from second to third-degree burns, the affected areas will be visible at wavelengths ranging from 360 to 900 nm. SCP-966 feed on medium-to-large-sized animals, including humans. They hunt either alone or in pairs. Their hunting methods consist of emitting a single burst of a previously unknown type of wave (dubbed ██████ waves, in honor of the late Doctor ██████), which permanently inhibits the ability of the affected creature to enter any of the NREM and REM sleep stages. The ability to micro-sleep is also lost. The effective range of the ██████ waves is up to 20 meters; however, tests show that they can be blocked by post-transition metals, particularly lead. All attempts to make victims of SCP-966 sleep have failed. It is still possible to induce other forms of unconsciousness, although these will usually prove detrimental to the affected subject as they do not provide true rest. After depriving their victims of sleep, SCP-966 will stalk their prey until the lack of rest incapacitates it. At this point, SCP-966 will proceed to consume it. SCP-966 have proved to be very agile and silent while stalking their victims. On occasion, they will deliberately make threatening noises around the prey in order to further stress it, and may even physically assault it if the victim proves to be particularly durable. Other than the common symptoms caused by sleep deprivation, some victims of SCP-966 have shown signs of suffering from extremely vivid hallucinations, as well as sudden bouts of rage with no apparent external stimuli. It is currently thought that these are the effects of prolonged exposure to ██████ waves. Why SCP-966 continually exposes these waves to only some of their victims is unknown. One hypothesis is that SCP-966 will only do this when starving, since it further degenerates the physical and mental state of their prey, incapacitating it at a faster rate. Wild instances of SCP-966 are found all over the world. Since their discovery in 19██, the Foundation has succeeded in greatly thinning their numbers, though they are still found in large quantities in many countries, particularly █████ and █████ ███████. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-966" by Enma Ai, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-967 | euclid | Item #: SCP-967 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-967 is to be contained within a 12 (twelve)-meter-high electric fence (primary containment), surrounded by a 150 (one hundred and fifty)-meter-wide buffer zone of vegetation consisting of wildflowers, fruit trees, and mixed grasses, and monitored by no less than 60 (sixty) on-site personnel disguised as members of the Scrapyard Cleaning People environmental organization. Civilians are to be dissuaded from entry to the buffer zone by means of a "toxic waste bioremediation research" cover story. In the event of a containment breach, instances of SCP-967-1 can be distinguished from instances of SCP-967-2 by their reaction to the buffer zone. During a containment breach, SCP-967-1 will hesitate, manifest apparent confusion and fear, and then attempt to return within the confines of the electric fence. Any instances of SCP-967-1 which fail in this attempt will undergo decohesion within 3 (three) minutes of having left SCP-967; metal detectors and industrial electromagnets are to be used to collect all decohered fragments. Any decohered fragments which are not used for research purposes are to be incinerated, with their ashes bound in a concrete matrix which is then stored within the overall confines of SCP-967. Any damage to the buffer zone caused by the containment breach must be repaired within no more than 30 (thirty) minutes. During a containment breach, SCP-967-2 will not react to the buffer zone. Individual instances of SCP-967-2 are to be immobilized with electromagnetic weaponry until they undergo decohesion; no instance of SCP-967-2 has endured more than 2 (two) hours before undergoing decohesion. Metal detectors and industrial electromagnets are to be used to collect all decohered fragments. Any decohered fragments which are not used for research purposes are to be incinerated, with their ashes bound in a concrete matrix which is then stored within the overall confines of SCP-967. Any damage to the buffer zone caused by the containment breach must be repaired within no more than 30 (thirty) minutes. Description: SCP-967 is an abandoned scrapyard located in [REDACTED]. Flyovers have shown that SCP-967 is approximately 200m x 500m. The site was abandoned in ████/████ following a rash of disappearances and anomalous activity. On ██/████, SCP-967 was secured by the Foundation. SCP-967 is much larger than its outside dimensions would suggest. Several regions within the area are only accessible by foot, and extend into an anomalous area of space. Exploration teams have described this area as consisting of "trash as far as the eye can see". This landscape is composed entirely of items consistent with a scrapyard: old cars, abandoned locomotives, and mountains of disused watercraft and appliances. Extended incursions into SCP-967 have revealed the presence of detritus and derelict vehicles inconsistent with the current level of human technology. Exploration teams have also reported the presence of a wide variety of ambulatory creatures within SCP-967, collectively designated SCP-967-1; these appear to be haphazardly constructed from the same materials as the landscape. Individual instances of SCP-967-1 may or may not be aggressive, and do not appear to be sapient. Instances of SCP-967-1 taken beyond the borders of SCP-967 rapidly undergo mechanical decohesion, with their component parts collapsing into a disconnected heap. Extensive study of these decohered components, both individually and collectively, has revealed no anomalous properties; however, the accumulation of sufficient (> 5 kg /m 2) quantities of discarded components, for sufficient (> 24 hours) time, within an area immediately adjacent to the borders of SCP-967, results in the expansion of SCP-967 to include the area in question. Addendum 1: In addition to the numerous forms of SCP-967-1, which seem equivalent to unintelligent animals, SCP-967 has been found to contain sapient entities, collectively designated SCP-967-2, with whom negotiation is possible; see archive 967-M-58 for contact logs and anthropological observation notes Addendum 2: SCP-967-2 has been found to exist in multiple sub-populations, or "tribes", which have widely differing behaviors and attitudes. Due to the extreme compositional heterogeneity of SCP-967-1 and SCP-967-2, no method has yet been devised for determining the tribe to which a previously-unencountered individual belongs — or whether it is an instance of SCP-967-1 — other than interacting with it. The total number of tribes has not been determined; however, four have been definitively identified, with tentative identification of a fifth (see document 967-HN4-27). Document 967-HN4-27: List of sapient sub-populations found within SCP-967 "The Queen's Own 17th Coal-Fired, Newcastle-upon-Tyne" - a population claiming to be a "mechano-biological regiment" of injured veterans from the "Steam War of 1892", these entities also claim to be citizens of the United Kingdom. They are largely cooperative and helpful towards Foundation personnel (with the exception of certain outdated sociopolitical attitudes), but have made repeated requests for the Foundation to "restore" them so that they can leave the confines of SCP-967. "Give Take" - a population of nomadic traders "Assembly Required" - a population of hostile expansionists whose goal is the conversion of all external territory into SCP-967; members of Assembly Required have been responsible for no less than ███ attempts to breach containment "Remainder" - a population of religious nihilists who refuse to acknowledge the existence of Foundation researchers, or of the world outside SCP-967 in general. "The Ballet Academy" - although exploration teams have assessed the Ballet Academy as non-sapient due to the stereotypy of their behavior, members of The Queen's Own, Give Take, and Assembly Required have all repeatedly stated that the Ballet Academy is "terrifyingly" sapient. The Ballet Academy is unlike other SCP-967 subpopulations in the compositional homogeneity of its members: all members of the Ballet Academy are humanoid entities wearing battered US Army gear circa the Vietnam war, with fleshless moose (Alces alces) skulls for heads, and loudspeakers on their chests. All encounters with the Ballet Academy have been identical: a group of twenty entities will face the exploration team, and the loudspeakers on their chests will activate, saying "And now, the Ballet Academy will perform Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, with original choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky". The entities will then dance for 28 minutes (during which no music is audible). ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-967" by Tom Serveaux, rewritten by Voct, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-968 | keter | Item #: SCP-968 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-968 is kept in the center of large porcelain bowl with a steep curve. The bowl itself is made for transport, feeding, and removal of waste from SCP-968. It is lined with steel and braces designed to tip the bowl when needed. The bowl measures 7 meters across and 4 meters deep. While dormant, SCP-968 should be kept in an enclosed environment atmosphere at 3% humidity or less, between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius. To achieve a maximum state of submission, SCP-968 is to be "fed" between 50 and 80 kilograms of protein every 4 days. Clean up of waste is achieved by tilting the bowl using the mechanical platform. SCP-968 will typically hold to one side of the bowl while waste slides down to the lowest point. A drip torch is used to ignite particulate waste and ash is removed by using blowers. Description: Commonly known as the "Tar Baby," SCP-968 appears as a black, adhesive high-viscosity oil. Current research explains SCP-968 as a colony of fibrous protozoa working together without any true structure, central nervous system or endocrine system, despite observations of cellular coordination. Similar to the flexing properties of animal muscle, these fibrous protozoa are capable of pulling on one another with a combined strength. Specialized flagella along their surfaces allow for the gripping of prey and surfaces but without tendons, ligaments or skeletal material to support it, SCP-968 is incapable of any significant locomotion. The colony "hunts" by mimicking the appearance of prey or a wounded animal to lure other predators to attack it. In the presence of humans, it has "learned" that mimicking the shape of an incapacitated infant or small child is the optimal lure for human beings. Once ensnared, prey often exacerbate the situation by struggling against SCP-968, which serves only to compound the adhesion; the effect is much like quicksand. The exhausted prey is pulled either to a "den" or underwater to be drowned. SCP-968 pulls against its prey in opposite directions on both macroscopic and microscopic levels to mechanically dismember its prey until it is torn into small enough fragments to digest on a cellular level. Though SCP-968 has shown a heightened level of intelligence, SCP-968 appears to have a single-minded devotion to feeding and exhibits no other desires. Attempts to freeze SCP-968 for analysis have proven extremely hazardous. It conducts heat through friction and metabolism, keeping parts of itself from freezing. The frozen parts of SCP-968 provide a structure for its fibrous tendrils to act against, much like muscle on bone. It is advised not to continue freezing attempts, as SCP-968 may "learn" to use the bone structure of its prey to escape or attack Foundation personnel. Acquisition: SCP researchers and Task Force Epsilon-9 (aka. "Fire Eaters") were dispatched to North Central Africa after an Associated Press reporter put several seconds of film onto the Internet. In the video, an indigenous man was seen being pulled into a dark pool of water. The reporter was on location to investigate reports of locals being consumed by shadows. After considering known African folklore, it was believed that fire was the tool of choice to be used in suppression and containment. Though well equipped and informed, Epsilon Force had great trouble containing the entity that was to be later labeled SCP-968. Before the arrival of Epsilon team, it became apparent that SCP-968 had established snares of itself across nearly two square kilometers of savanna. By attaching itself to animals and allowing its prey to flee for nearly a kilometer in every direction, SCP-968 was capable of weaving a web of fine tendrils, up trees, down holes, and across small bodies of water. While used in the future acquisition of prey, it proved to be a battlefield level ambush for Epsilon. Fire has only a minimal effect on SCP-968. While it doesn't actually destroy it, enough heat causes it to recoil and release whatever it has held fast to. Members of Epsilon-9 were at first reluctant at using their flame accelerators on team members who had been ensnared by SCP-968. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-968" by FritzWillie, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-969 | euclid | SCP-969-34 Item #: SCP-969 Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-969 are to be kept in Containment Locker 19-969. All personnel are to be issued information annually on the appearance of SCP-969 instances. Personnel encountering an instance of SCP-969 are to retrieve it through preferably legal means. Description: SCP-969 is a brand of packet insect repellent apparently distributed by █████ Corporation. There are no legal or online records of any █████ Corporation. SCP-969 is typically found on the shelves of various convenience stores mainly in the United States and Canada.1 Instances of SCP-969 will appear on store shelving and records with preset pricing. Store workers show no memory of adding SCP-969 to their inventory. SCP-969's packaging claims that approximately 19% of SCP-969 is composed of an unknown chemical labeled ████. The labeling seems to imply that ████ is the active ingredient of SCP-969. Researchers have isolated all other chemicals in SCP-969 but have been unable to identify ████, lending credence to its role as the active ingredient of SCP-969's effects. Given the anomalous properties of SCP-969, it is suspected that ████ may not be an isomer of its corresponding chemicals in SCP-969, as the packaging claims. Instructions for the application of SCP-969 are on the other side of SCP-969's packaging: DIRECTIONS FOR USE: It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.2 Read all directions before using this product. To repel insects, rub on exposed skin areas. Use just enough repellent to cover exposed skin. Do not use under clothing. Do not apply to face or ears. Repeat as needed. Frequent application and saturation is unnecessary for effectiveness. Avoid overexposure. Wipe hands after use. After returning indoors, wash treated skin with soap and water. Avoid contact with plastics, acetate, spandex, and rayon. Use of SCP-969 in the recommended manner results in no anomalous effects, although researchers note a greater efficacy of use of SCP-969 over other brands. Use of SCP-969 in a manner not recommended by the packaging results in several anomalous effects. Recommendation not followed Immediate Effect Chronic or Lasting Effect SCP-969 applied to unexposed skin under clothing Clothing appears to be repelled from skin of subject, expanding outwards None3 SCP-969 applied to face Irritation in line with regular effects of insect repellents Face of subject is found mainly unattractive, regardless of physical change SCP-969 applied to ears Loud buzzing noise heard by subject Hearing degradation and eventual deafness Frequent application resulting in overexposure Extreme alienation by subject of all observers Depression Hands not wiped after use Expressed struggle of holding onto several objects Inability to grasp or handle any object with hands Applied indoors / Not washed off indoors Observers show tendency to avoid contact with shelter of subject Condemnation of shelter SCP-969 applied to any plastic overcoat Overcoat began contracting. Subject was unable to escape overcoat. Death of subject. Overcoat remained contracted. Addendum 969-1: ==LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED== Unauthorized viewing of the following documentation will result in reprimand - SCP-969 given to child Subject immediately began to experience growth until subject became young adult Bodily maturity but mental immaturity Addendum 969-2: Incident 969-1: Following repeated use of SCP-969, several federal vehicles were seen approaching Site-██. Security forces were deployed and all federal agents were successfully captured. When interviewed, the agents claimed that they had received orders to arrest several substance abusers at the Site-██ location. So far the source of the orders has not been identified. Agents were administered a Class-A amnestic and returned to ███ Headquarters. Footnotes 1. Instances of SCP-969 have also been discovered in the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Australia, however their frequency of appearance is relatively minor. 2. While there are laws surrounding the use of insect repellents, there are no laws regarding █████ Corporation or ████. 3.

SCP-970 | euclid | Item #: SCP-970 Special Containment Procedures: All sites affected by SCP-970 are to be acquired by the Foundation, with a suitable cover established. Civilians attempting to enter the site are to be discouraged, preferably within the boundaries of local law; trespassers are to be administered a class-A amnestic. In light of Experiment-04 and Addendum 970-02, armed personnel are to be stationed by entries into affected sites. Description: SCP-970 is a spatial phenomenon wherein a collection of rooms are looped on themselves. In all cases found, this is by means of a series of doors appearing in the walls, all in a straight line, such that it is possible to walk forwards and end up at the starting position. The alteration to the rooms does not affect neighbouring rooms and floors. There is as of yet no known explanation for the appearance of this phenomenon. SCP-970-01 is a cell-block within Sector 19, and the first example of the SCP-970 phenomenon encountered by the Foundation. It was constructed with the intent of housing class-D personnel, and fulfilled that purpose until ██/██/████, when several D-classes breached containment in an escape attempt. The investigation into the incident led to the discovery that a series of doors had appeared in the cell-block, leading into rooms on the opposite side of the corridor. It was quickly established that the layout of the building did not support this addition, and that the rooms were following a non-standard geometry. Since the incident, ██ further such examples of the phenomenon have been discovered, with ██% of these in an 800-kilometer radius of Sector 19. One notable example was found within the western wing of the [REDACTED] legislative palace; in this instance, the Foundation was unable to acquire the affected site, and local authorities proved intractable and hostile when recommendations on security were made. The matter was resolved six months later, in a violent coup which saw the destruction of the building, resulting in [DATA EXPUNGED] was eventually contained by Mobile Task Forces Rho-8 and Pi-1, supported by the rebel forces. Addendum 970-01: Experimentation Logs for SCP-970 Experiment-01 Experiment-01 D-970-294 was given a head-mounted camera and instructed to walk through the doors of SCP-970-01. Subject expressed doubts as to the possibility of the phenomenon, but followed orders. Subject successfully navigated the rooms, expressing alarm and surprise to discover himself at his starting point. Video footage and internal measuring devices show that the subject did not deviate noticeably from a straight line, but nevertheless emerged on the other side of the corridor; the anomaly is confirmed. This experiment was intended to provide a baseline for comparison with other experiments - though, given the single property of the phenomenon, I am unsure as to how we will be able to test it. - Dr Jung Experiment-02 Experiment-02 D-970-295 was instructed to repeat the above instructions for as long as he felt able. Water and food were made available, and the subject was told that he was to stop only when either instructed to or upon reaching exhaustion. Subject showed a normal appetite for the exertion, and continued for 205 iterations, whereupon the subject reacted with confusion on fetching his water. He claimed that Researcher Taylor had previously had black hair, whereas she now had blonde hair. At no point during the experiment had Taylor dyed her hair, and colleagues claim that she has had the same hair colour for nine months. Taylor admitted that she had considered colouring her hair black the previous night, but chose not to. Examination of the subject's recording indeed showed Taylor with black hair until the 205th iteration. On further examination, other small differences between iterations were noted. The experiment was called to an immediate end. I take it back. Further testing is necessary. - Dr Jung Experiment-03 Experiment-03 D-970-296 was given a chipped card containing the following items of data: a 16-bit pseudo-random number, called Datum A; the final score of a football match that finished twenty minutes before the experiment began, called Datum B; the morning's DOW Jones index, called Datum C; a five-day weather forecast for the continental United States, from two days before, called Datum D. A scanner was erected by the west door to record the data as the subject walked through. D-970-296 was once again instructed to repeat the instructions of Experiment-01 for as long as he felt able. Datum A diverged from its original value after the first iteration, as expected. Datum B first diverged from its original value after 24 iterations, with the range of deviation extending with successive iterations. (Here the experiment was paused briefly; it is recommended for future researchers that they ensure none of their colleagues have an emotional investment in the match.) At 76 iterations, the first unpredicted event occurred; this iteration of the card featured a lengthy note in addition to the data presented, and an alternative definition of Datum B (the score of a women's basketball game). Researcher Taylor had previously suggested this for Datum B, but had been overruled by Dr Jung (see above note on emotional investment). The iteration of D-970-296 present at the time did not wish to comment further on the incident, as he had been similarly interrogated for 10 successive iterations until a previous Dr Jung put the note on the card. The scanner was reprogrammed to add notes to the end of each card. Note from Research Assistant Boston: Dr Jung initially encountered technical problems with the scanner, prompting Researcher Taylor to "go and fetch someone who knows what he's doing", at which point she walked through the doors to the previous iteration, returning with a second Dr Jung. The "original" Dr Jung proved unwilling to be assisted, leading to a row between the two doctors, which was only exacerbated when a third Dr Jung emerged from the next iteration, complaining about the slow pace of the experiment. The disagreement was eventually broken up by security, who mandated A) the reprogramming of the scanner by the second Doctor Jung, and B) that all staff remain in their particular iteration to avoid confusion. At 157 iterations, an unidentified man appeared in the place of D-970-296. The man was immediately restrained according to security procedures; analysis of the notes on his card indicated that he was in fact D-970-296, and that in his original iteration a different D-class had been allocated to the experiment. D-970-296-1 (as he will now be known) showed signs of bruising, allegedly from multiple enthusiastic restraints during this experiment. Dr Jung provided a cardboard sign to hang around his neck, reading "I AM AUTHORISED TO BE HERE, PLEASE READ THE NOTES"; D-970-296-1 showed gratitude. Datum C first diverged from its original value after 234 iterations; Datum D did not diverge within the span of the experiment (371 iterations). This experiment establishes that as the number of iterations increases, the point of divergence from our own iteration lies further in the past. It also shows the wisdom in planning any experiment involving SCP-970-01 some time in advance, to ensure that all nearby iterations are working from the same basis. In addition to this, the incident noted by Research Assistant Boston shows that neighbouring iterations remain consistent throughout the period of interaction. - Dr Jung Experiment-04 Experiment-04 A robotic probe was programmed to recognise and open the doors of SCP-970-01, and fitted with a camera. Recharging facilities were made available in the corridor, to be automatically accessed when the probe was under 5% charge. The camera was fitted with a [REDACTED]-locking chip, resonating with a computer within the corridor in the first iteration. This experiment differs from Experiment-03, as it intends to relay information to the first iteration, whereas Experiment-03 passed information down to further iterations. The film displayed approximately six hundred hours worth of footage, approximating to [REDACTED] iterations. Analysis of the recording has shown the following iterations to be of note: 213 - the first immediately-noticeable difference (Dr Jung is wearing a red tie); 704 - Researcher Taylor is absent, and does not appear again until: 1061 - Researcher Taylor reappears, but her identity pass declares her a doctor; [REDACTED] - the research team appear to be under attack; Dr Jung has been shot in the chest. [REDACTED] - the research team have disappeared; the wall is covered in blood. The following symbols can be seen in the blood: [DATA EXPUNGED] [REDACTED] - the research team [DATA EXPUNGED] facial features. I do not believe that anything can be established by further experimentation. - Dr Jung Addendum 970-02: Following a nervous breakdown, Researcher Taylor has been admitted to the psychiatric ward. Other members of the research team have undergone similar, though less severe, reactions. The footage from Experiment-04 is believed to be the cause of the problems, and all affected personnel have been administered Class-B amnestics as part of their treatment. Experimentation on SCP-970 has been ceased for the immediate future, and the security on affected sites has been upgraded. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-970" by Freudian, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-971 | safe | Item #: SCP-971 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-971 is to be kept in its labeled file folder and locked in file cabinet #26 in Site-19's file vault when not being used for testing. Keys to both the file vault and file cabinet #26 are held by onsite senior administrative members, and access to SCP-971 for testing is to be allowed only with explicit written permission from Level-4 personnel or higher. Due to potentially harmful environmental impact, testing of SCP-971 may not be scheduled more than once a week. Instances of SCP-971-1 have no special properties other than their mode of delivery, and may be disposed of normally. Description: SCP-971 is an old and worn delivery menu printed on a standard sheet of 21.6 cm by 28 cm (8.5 by 11 inches) printer paper. The name of the delivery service is listed as Quik 'n Ready Mealz [sic]. No records of such a business exist, and the parent company named on the menu, [REDACTED], denies ownership of said food delivery service. The menu lists the company name, a phone number (1-800-███-████) and several different food items, each preceded by an item code. The food items are typical fast food items, including hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken fingers, assorted seasoned fries and carbonated beverages (all [REDACTED] brand sodas). The menu features no pictures or prices of the food, and the typeface and design are both minimal and simplistic. When holding SCP-971 and calling the phone number listed, the caller will be sent to an automated menu system. (NOTE - calling the same phone number without holding the menu will send the caller to a help desk for [REDACTED] software. The phone number listed on the menu corresponds to that company's listed phone number for their help desk). The automated menu will prompt the caller to input the item codes for the food they desire, and then for their credit card number to pay for the order. Once item codes and credit card number are input, the automated system will tell the caller the total price, thank them and then disconnect the call. The caller's credit card will be immediately charged for the total price of the order, plus the local tax rate for prepared food. The prices for orders made with SCP-971 are always comparatively lower than prices for other popular fast food chains in the caller's current location. Once the call disconnects, about 15 or 20 minutes will pass; afterwards, a paper bag with Quik n' Ready Mealz logo (designated SCP-971-1) will appear near the caller. SCP-971-1 almost always appears when all potential observers' attention in the vicinity is diverted elsewhere. Remote video observation of SCP-971-1's appearance has been reasonably successful, although not particularly informative (SCP-971-1 simply appears instantaneously with no visual indication of its method of delivery). SCP-971-1 will contain the same items chosen in the phone menu, and all items will be cooked and prepared to normal Food Safety and Inspection Service health standards. Aside from the method of delivery, the only other anomalous feature of the food delivered is the undefinable meat used for the listed burgers, sandwiches and other meat containing items. The meat used in the food is from an unknown source, and tends to be a bit tough and gamey. Simple testing has proven that it is not from typical beef or chicken stock, and personnel D-1282 (convicted on multiple counts of cannibalism) verifies that the meat is not human. More rigorous testing of SCP-971 samples has been approved. The meat used in the food is from assorted animals on the EEC Endangered Species List. Further DNA testing on the meat, as well as reports of sudden weight loss and muscle mass loss in animals from several zoos, confirms meat from pandas, cheetahs, red wolves, and several other species recognized as endangered. Currently all meat tested from meals that SCP-971 provides are from animals that are commonly known endangered species to the general public, not the more esoteric endangered species such as the equatorial dog-faced bat or the Oklahoma cave amphipod. The food does not seem to cause any compulsion to eat it, nor does eating the endangered animal fast food meals cause any overt physical harm to subjects eating it (save for the high fat, sodium and calorie counts associated with fast food). The menu itself causes no compulsion to use it over other fast food menus in double-blind testing, and has shown no ability to teleport or reproduce when left alone. Occasionally, other copies of SCP-971 are found outside of Foundation control - as scanned and printed copies of SCP-971 have the same abnormal properties of the original, these copies are to be confiscated and destroyed. Due to the lack of memetic effects or mobility from SCP-971, this SCP is considered Safe and requires only minimal containment procedures. Any further testing with SCP-971 is on hold due to possible harm to endangered species and due to minimal data gathered during testing. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-971" by DJ Suptic, from the SCP Wiki.

Requests for additional furnishings or amenities are to be submitted to Dr. Louef and may be granted so long as they do not violate Foundation security protocols. All personnel physically interacting with SCP-972 must pass Infectious Disease Protocol (Foundation SOP-89B) prior to working with the anomaly. Any and all contact with SCP-972 should take place in a manner that limits potential vectors of disease transmission for SCP-972-1. Should physical contact be deemed necessary, all personnel should don Class V Infectious Hazard gear to limit potential spread of SCP-972-1. Description: SCP-972 is a human male of Turkish descent, formerly known as Ahmet Osman, approximately 23 years of age, standing 1.75 meters in height and weighing approximately 130 kg. In most respects, SCP-972 demonstrates baseline human qualities, with the notable exception of its mutualistic relationship with SCP-972-1. SCP-972-1 is an anomalous double stranded DNA-reverse transcriptase (dsDNA-RT) virus that most resembles members of the Hepadnaviridae1 family. SCP-972-1 has a uniquely limited natural host range that is believed to solely consist of SCP-972. SCP-972-1 possesses a unique reproductive life cycle that enables it to remain in nucleocapsid form for long periods of time within the host cells of SCP-972, essentially enabling it to remain "dormant" for long periods of time without being degraded by the host. The presence of SCP-972-1 has been found in nearly all cells comprising SCP-972, with the sole exception of germline reproductive cells (i.e, sperm), indicating that SCP-972-1 is capable of using nearly any somatic cell type within SCP-972 as a host. Further SCP-972-1 reproduction occurs upon host cell contact with non-infected somatic cells, causing the proliferation of SCP-972-1 within the original host cell before the virus is released onto the new host cell, resulting in its infection. SCP-972's primary anomalous effect triggers upon infection of SCP-972 by foreign viral or bacterial agents. In both cases, SCP-972-1 is believed to act in order to eliminate hostile foreign infection and preserve the host cell in question. Upon contact with bacteria during infection, SCP-972-1 causes the host cell to over-stimulate lysosome activity, creating hydrolytic enzymes that rapidly destroy all phagocytized bacteria. A similar mechanism of action is seen to occur during viral infection, which results in destruction of infectious viral particles. The means by which SCP-972-1 is able to recognize hostile activity is unknown; SCP-972-1 has shown the capability to recognize and destroy anomalous viruses such as those generated by SCP-1242, indicating that its recognition method is non-mundane. The consequence of SCP-972-1's anomalous activity is such that SCP-972 is effectively immune to all known forms of infectious disease. Any introduction of infectious diseases to SCP-972 results in complete destruction of the disease within a period ranging from 24 hours to 1 week, depending on the reproductive potential of the disease in question. During this period, SCP-972 experiences minor symptoms found in common diseases such as elevated body temperature, reduced appetite, and overall lethargy, but otherwise demonstrates no symptoms of the specific disease that it was infected with. SCP-972 Acquisition Report: SCP-972 came into Foundation custody on 5/6/2016 following a joint operation with the UIU that raided a Marshall Carter & Dark facility that had been housing SCP-972 and a number of other humanoid anomalies. Numerous files pertaining to SCP-972 were recovered during this operation, the relevant contents of which have been trimmed and included below. Initial Report Author Jonathan Barker Date June 05, 2008 Interest High Identifier Panacea While scoping out other merchandise, I came across this particular specimen which I think might be our golden goose. He's immune to any kind of disease that we can toss at him, with no side effects that we've been able to find so far. Biology department has done their work on him, and found out that he's got some existing virus in his blood that prevents any diseases from affecting him. We're conducting research to see whether or not this carries over to people who receive a transplant of his blood. Initial results are pretty promising, and the biology department is revving up their tests, so they should have full results soon. More importantly for us (and you're not gonna believe the luck on this one), the kid's got O-negative blood. If we milk this cash cow right, we could be swimming in revenue for decades. How many people you think will pony up for a vial of blood that can kill any disease? Hell, we've got plenty of clientele who will probably pay a pretty penny to get rid of their worst habits, if you catch my drift. File Opened Under: PNCEA/8MER1/Z62FT Marshall, Carter and Dark, LLP. Research Update 1 PNCEA/8MER1/Z62FT Sender Jonathan Barker Recipient Malcolm Jones Initial tests are giving us the greenlight for mass production. Our first buyer (who signed waivers out the ass for the privilege) had been on antiviral therapy for HIV for about 10 years. One transplant of Panacea blood later, and he's cleared of the disease in a week. Biology department is already working round the clock to figure out the minimum amount that we need to transplant to each patient, as well as the most efficient production schedule that we can run with the specimen. So, what color do you want your new car to be, sir? Starting to do some shopping for mine. Marshall, Carter and Dark, LLP Research Update 2 PNCEA/8MER1/Z62FT Sender Jonathan Barker Recipient Malcolm Jones We've worked out a procedure and a minimum dosage that optimizes our production schedule. Extractions three times a week, with a rest period of a week every two months is about the limit that the biology department thinks we can feasibly run without too much wear and tear. We've already got about 100 orders on record, and it's barely been a week. P.S: You were right, Elizabeth loves the electric green. Great choice. Marshall, Carter and Dark, LLP Research Update 3 PNCEA/8MER1/Z62FT Sender Dr. Hrishikesh Sharma Recipient Malcolm Jones We're shutting down Panacea. Barker got a little over-eager, and pushed it out faster than we would've liked in the biology department, but I guess the dollar signs were too much to resist. Panacea does its job admirably in terms of eliminating hostile infections, but the problem occurs when the viral load approaches a tipping point in the new body. We know that the virus eventually spreads to almost all of the cells in the body (as we saw from the original specimen years ago), but the issue occurs in all hosts that aren't the original specimen: the virus won't quit replicating. We're not sure why, but the virus continues to grow out of control in all of its new hosts, until the point at which the host cells start bursting due to the overabundance of viral particles. This can occur slowly over time, or all at once, and let me tell you, the results are not pretty. Our first buyer had to be scooped to the morgue in jars. The rate at which this occurs is variable in hosts. Some hosts can live for decades without any problems, but in others, it starts showing signs within a few years. Moreover, it's not just his blood that transmits it-we've seen early signs in some workers who we think came into contact with his saliva, meaning that there are a lot of employees who need to be tested. Once word of this gets out, nobody's going to trust our products anymore. We have to shut it down now and bury the evidence before this fully bites us in the ass. I've tabbed the original specimen for disposal-he's already in transit to the dump site. Marshall, Carter and Dark, LLP Footnotes 1.

SCP-973 | euclid | Item #: SCP-973 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-973’s nature precludes it from full containment within the Foundation. Due to the danger it presents, the 60-kilometer stretch of US Route ██ on which it is known to manifest is to be under satellite surveillance at all times. Any vehicles attempting to travel the designated section of highway between 22:00 and 04:30 are to be diverted to the detours at exits ███ and ███ by Foundation personnel. Trespassers are to be forcibly arrested and detained if the need arises. Description: SCP-973 consists of two entities. SCP-973-1 is a police cruiser, resembling those used by ███████ state troopers in the early 1970s. The vehicle appears to be in an advanced state of disrepair: eyewitness accounts have consistently mentioned large dents in the doors and hood, a heavily cracked windshield, heavy rusting, and a loose rear bumper secured with duct tape. SCP-973-2 is reported as a Caucasian male in his late forties, wearing a ███████ state trooper uniform dating from the same time period as SCP-973-1. Subject is described as balding, slightly overweight, and having a handlebar mustache. SCP-973 will manifest at night when another vehicle enters the designated territory, and is believed to be triggered by the target vehicle accelerating over a certain speed. This limit varies, with the average being in the area of 88.5 km/h (55 mph), but it can range anywhere between 53.3 km/h (35 mph) and 112.7 km/h (70 mph). No predictable pattern or connection between differing limits has been found as of yet. When this limit is broken, SCP-973 will appear approximately 0.4 km behind the target vehicle and will chase down the target at high speed with the siren and flashers on. This is accompanied by a looping message played on the target’s radio, consisting of the phrase “Run, [EXPLETIVE DELETED]”. In ██% of cases, the target will flee with SCP-973 in pursuit and will be overtaken in 1-6 minutes. At this point, [DATA EXPUNGED]. The remains of thirty-four individuals and nineteen vehicles have been found within 6.4 km of the affected roadway. The range of damage done to bodies includes evisceration, rape, [DATA EXPUNGED], and three cases where the body had been damaged by the impact to the point that visual identification was impossible. Five survivors are within Foundation custody, all suffering from varying degrees of mental trauma. The recovered vehicles showcase heavy impact damage, both environmental and inflicted, and severe burn damage to the interior. Addendum-1: Destroying the roadway affected by SCP-973 has proven ineffective. The demolition of part of State Route ██ in 1983 led to SCP-973 relocating itself to its current position. Addendum-2: 08/██/20██ - Attempt to capture and contain SCP-973 fails, resulting in the death of nine agents. SCP-973 is believed to be wounded, but is not incapacitated, re-appearing nine days later. Firsthand accounts indicate a change in SCP-973-2's appearance, as shown in this excerpt from the post-mission interview of Agent ████████: Agent ████████: I can’t really say. He just looked…different. His eyes were red, I remember that, and his mouth was just this black hole. No teeth, no tongue, just a hole. I was too busy shooting at him to get a better look than that. Addendum-3: SCP-973’s area of effect seems to be expanding, as does the window of time that manifestations occur. Security protocols have been adapted to this. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-973" by Djoric, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-973.

SCP-974 | euclid | Item #: SCP-974 Special Containment Procedures: One specimen of SCP-974 is kept within Zoological Reserve Site 16 in a lightly wooded containment area measuring no greater than 2500 m². An armed patrol is to be conducted at least once weekly in order to ascertain the status of any instances of SCP-974-2 and destroy any that are determined to be no longer in use. Once every 3 months, a group of no fewer than 4 children between ages 6-12 are to be acquired per Protocol 12 and transported to the containment area. They will be housed in on-site barracks and daily encouraged to explore and play in the containment area. If SCP-974 has not targeted one of the children within 5 days, a different group of children will be introduced. This cycle is to be repeated until it is confirmed that at least 1 child has been targeted by SCP-974. If SCP-974 attempts to leave the containment area, on-site security will herd it back using flamethrowers. Agents are instructed to attempt to capture any instances of SCP-974 encountered in the wild, but are authorized to use lethal force to eliminate SCP-974 if capture is not feasible. This may include the total immolation of any areas inhabited by SCP-974, if warranted. If any instances of SCP-974-A are encountered, they are to be destroyed as rapidly as possible. See Document 974-C(4b-f) for a full list of recommended weaponry and tactics. Description: SCP-974 is a carnivorous creature that superficially resembles a human child. It possesses greater durability, strength and stamina than a child of commensurate size and does not appear to be deterred by bullets or melee weaponry. It has been demonstrated to have an extremely adverse reaction to open flame, however. Although SCP-974 can briefly subsist on small animals such as squirrels or birds, its primary and preferred food source is prepubescent human children. Each time it successfully consumes a human child, it enters a state of torpor and its form changes over the course of 10-12 days to replicate that of the most recently consumed child. It is capable of speaking any language the consumed child knew, although its vocabulary and speech structure is always very limited and simple. SCP-974's preferred habitat is lightly wooded areas such as parks or undeveloped land near moderately populated human settlements. Once it has settled into a new territory, it uses local vegetation, wood and other available materials to create between 1 and 5 "nests", designated SCP-974-2. SCP-974-2 are generally simple, crudely built, one-room structures, and are usually placed in the lower limbs of a tree or on low rises of land. Once SCP-974 has built at least one instance of SCP-974-2, it will seek to lure a group of between 2 and 5 prey subjects to SCP-974-2 by entreating them to follow it to the structure in order to play. SCP-974 will participate in simple, physical play activities such as hide-and-seek or tag with the subjects, allowing them to leave and return at a later time. This behavior pattern can last up to a week before SCP-974 invites a single prey target to play with it alone. At this point, whether the target accepts or declines the offer, SCP-974 will subdue the target and [REDACTED], leaving the clothing with only minor damage and fluid staining. SCP-974 will typically abandon SCP-974-2 after this, although it will remain in its territory until the local population of children is depleted. SCP-974 displays a heightened "fight or flight" reaction to the presence of post-pubescent humans and will immediately attempt to flee to an instance of SCP-974-2 if it is aware that it is visible to such an individual. If retreat is not an option, SCP-974 becomes highly aggressive and will attack all known post-pubescent individuals. Due to its increased strength, SCP-974 has been known to dismember the targets of its attacks before being dissuaded through standard containment procedures. Addendum A-3: Following an investigation by the Ethics Committee, containment protocols have been adjusted to no longer include providing live human prey for SCP-974 as of 01/01/201█. Attempts to use SCP-1680 instances as a substitute have failed following SCP-974 rejection of all instances it has been presented with. An increased stock of small animals typical for the environment will be introduced in order to provide sustenance for SCP-974. Addendum D-1: On 08/16/201█, during the weekly sweep of Zoological Reserve Site 16, patrol teams discovered that all previously existing SCP-974-2 structures had been destroyed, apparently by brute force methods. No new structures could be located, but the teams did locate a roughly oval patch of freshly disturbed soil, measuring roughly 1.5 m x 2.2 m. Following consultation with the Site supervisors, a geological team was dispatched to use ground-penetrating radar to image the patch of soil. The GPR revealed a humanoid figure curled into a fetal position 1.3 meters below ground level. Continual scanning over the course of 10 days revealed no changes in position and supervisory personnel decided to exhume SCP-974 in order to more closely examine it. At that stage, SCP-974 measured 2.2 m in length and weighed 37.4 kg. It did not have any visible orifices or facial features. Its skin was white and slightly tacky. Later analysis revealed the presence of several previously unknown enzymes in the mucus coating of SCP-974. No respirations were detected, although a faint and slow heartbeat was detected. After a further 4 weeks of monitoring, during which the heartbeats ceased, SCP-974 was dissected. For a complete breakdown of its anatomical structure, see Document 974-F(1a-j). Addendum H-11: On 10/03/201█, 7 instances of SCP-974 were identified in the greater ██████, ██ area and its surrounding suburbs. 6 of the instances were killed during attempts to capture. A cover story for the resulting wildfire was disseminated by Foundation counter-intelligence, blaming the cause on a confluence of a deliberately set fire, improperly extinguished campfire, and lightning strike. The remaining example of SCP-974 was captured and transported to Zoological Reserve Site 16, where it was installed in the containment zone of the original creature. It too was denied human prey and buried itself on 12/17/201█. The decision was made to leave the new instance of SCP-974 buried and see whether this represented a transient metamorphic stage. Constant GPR scanning revealed that SCP-974 grew in stature and size, apparently absorbing nutrients directly from the surrounding earth. Addendum H-12/Incident 974-Phi: On 01/25/201█, SCP-974 dug itself free from the earth. The new form (hereby SCP-974-A) was highly aggressive, much more so than the initial form, and immediately ran towards the nearby monitoring station, where it ripped off the steel roof and attacked the monitoring crew. It fully dismembered all 6 members of the crew within 90 seconds and [REDACTED]. Less than 12% of the crews' bodies were later recovered. Response teams quickly mobilized and, per containment protocols, arrived within 15 minutes. SCP-974-A mimicked the form of Georgia ██████, one of the monitoring crew, and exited the monitoring station acting as if it was dazed or injured. It begged the teams for assistance, miming a serious wound, but did not appropriately respond to the response teams' password challenges. When the response teams refused to allow SCP-974-A to approach, it attacked. It demonstrated the same resistance to firearms and melee attacks as its initial form, but did not display a fear of flame and did not appear to be adversely affected by being set on fire. SCP-974-A was killed when Guard Emilio ██████ sacrificed his arm while shoving a live hand-grenade down SCP-974-A's throat. The resulting explosion did not rupture SCP-974-A's epidermis, but did cause sufficient internal damage such that the remainder of the teams were able to subdue it within 20 minutes. 28 Commendations For Valor were awarded posthumously. Addendum H-25: In light of Incident 974-Phi, the original containment protocols have been re-instated. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-974" by Drewbear, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-975 | euclid | Item #: SCP-975 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-975 is contained on-site. A 50 m section of the tunnel containing SCP-975-1 has been reinforced with 3 cm of titanium alloy plating and hermetically sealed, with the area accessible only via a secure airlock that is to be manned by at least two (2) armed guards at all times. This containment area is further sealed from the main tunnel network to deter urban explorers, and is now only accessible via an underground shaft in Site ██. Any attempts to communicate with SCP-975-2 instances must by approved by O5 Command and overseen by Site Command, who may terminate proceedings at any given time. Any SCP-975-2 instances attempting to escape the containment area must be detained. Description: SCP-975-1 is an anomalous opening approximately 1.2 m in diameter, located in an abandoned section of the [REDACTED] subway system, which has been in disuse for a period of at least 40 years. This opening appears to be lined or composed of organic substances, and does not appear to extend beyond the ceiling of the tunnel, despite having significant apparent depth while open. Periodically, SCP-975-1 will open and discharge a single instance of an entity designated SCP-975-2. While these entities superficially resemble frogs, they are in no way amphibians and in fact do not appear to have terrestrial physiology. SCP-975-2 is highly intelligent, and has quickly acquired the ability to communicate in English over a period of only six (6) months. There are currently 33 instances of SCP-975-2 in containment. SCP-975 was discovered on █/██/██ following reports of a homeless man in [REDACTED] being arrested by police after screaming about "talking alien frogs" in the [REDACTED] subway tunnels. Class A amnestics were administered to the witnesses, and SCP-975 was contained shortly thereafter. Addendum 975-01: Transcript of Communication Attempt with SCP-975-2-03 on ██/█/██ Dr. █████: What is your purpose here? SCP-975-2-03: We ran. Dr. █████: What do you mean? SCP-975-2-03: We ran very long from danger. Dr. █████: What are you running from? SCP-975-2-03: We ran very far. We need safe from danger. We need home. Dr. █████: How did you get here? SCP-975-2-03: Door take us. Take us very far. [insistent] We need home. Dr. █████: Does this door work both ways? SCP-975-2-03: [agitated] We not want. Many danger very soon. Dr. █████: We need more information before we can move forward. What can you tell us about the other side? SCP-975-2-03: [agitated] No want. [end of transcript; SCP-975-2-03 refused to answer additional questions] Addendum 975-02: Incident 975-01 On █/█/██, a large radiation spike was detected in the containment area of SCP-975, triggering a breach alarm that was followed by a wide-scale loss of power in the area. Investigation by armed response personnel immediately afterward reported that one of the SCP-975-2 instances was missing, and that the remaining members were extremely agitated. Since this event, SCP-975-2 has become increasingly aggressive and have attempted to escape containment on several occasions, reporting that "danger has come" and that the area was "not safe now". Addendum 975-03: Researcher Note, █/██/██ SCP-975-1 has exhibited no detectable changes, although no further instances of SCP-975-2 have appeared for over ██ weeks now. During this time, SCP-975-2 has refused to answer questions until they are "make safe again", and continue to attempt to escape containment. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-975" by Aelanna, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-976 | safe | Item #: SCP-976 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-976 is attached to an isolated research computer at Site-█. All data from SCP-976 must be archived for analysis from automated backups made every 24 hours. Research on data extracted from SCP-976 requires level 2 clearance. SCP-976 must not be installed in any terminal with a live connection to the Site-█ intranet or to any outside internet connection. Direct access to SCP-976 for purposes other than maintenance requires prior approval from at least two level 3 personnel. Description: SCP-976 appears to be a Western Digital ████████ model hard drive with an indicated capacity of 32 GB. The outside casing is identical to a hard drive of the indicated model and has a standard parallel ATA-100 interface. SCP-976 is unusually heavy, and all attempts to disassemble the outside casing have failed thus far. SCP-976 was found in Foundation research terminal computer ████-██ at Site-█ during a mandatory security pass for ensuring the destruction of sensitive data prior to the disposal of electronic equipment. Its anomalous properties were discovered when technicians noted that its installation was in violation of standard equipment configuration guidelines, and was immediately taken into containment when the device was accessed and the data within analyzed. How SCP-976 ended up inside the terminal is unknown at this time. When connected to a standard PC and activated, SCP-976 operates normally, but with an abnormally high-pitched hum that does not match any known hard drive model. When read using a specially-designed interface, SCP-976 appears to contain a 32 GB 'slice' of a larger data repository, currently estimated at exceeding ███ TB in size. This 'slice' changes position every 24 hours at exactly 00:11:53 AM, thus necessitating all data on SCP-976 to be downloaded daily for analysis. From ongoing analysis of over █,███ 'slices' of data extracted from SCP-976, the following file fragments have been reconstructed: Several fragments of news reports, including images and partial videos. These news items are all dated in the past, but do not match any news reports in Foundation archives. Archives documenting the use of [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED], technologies that have not been invented, or were never pursued in modern science. Containment procedures and experiment logs for SCP-███, an object that was destroyed during acquisition and never contained. Detailed experiment logs for SCP-███, which were never authorized due to the danger involved in said experiment proposals. Detailed descriptions for SCP-███ and SCP-███, objects that do not exist. A record of assets and SCP objects stored at Site-██, which does not exist. All data recovered from SCP-976 matches standard Foundation data formats, but otherwise do not seem to correspond to data found in Foundation archives. It is currently theorized that SCP-976 may be a 'window' into a Foundation archive from an alternate timeline or existence. Analysis into data recovered from SCP-976 is ongoing. Addendum 976-1: On ██/██/200█, Dr. ███████ and Dr. █████ were killed while accessing data on SCP-976 that appears to have contained a memetic kill agent similar to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Increased security has been requested for SCP-976 data, and automated data analysis must be used before opening unknown files. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-976" by Aelanna, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-977 | euclid | Item #: SCP-977 Special Containment Procedures: Access to the SCP-977 site has been restricted on the basis of ongoing asbestos removal and renovation. The site is to be secured by guards in standard █████████ security company cover uniforms, with concealed armament. No fewer than three Foundation staff members are to be present on site at any time while research is being conducted. Personnel entering or leaving the building are required to don breathing masks and standard safety clothing to prevent suspicion. The security cameras already existent in the building have been modified to link to SCP Foundation servers. Footage is automatically backed up every two hours both to local hard-drives and to off-site storage. Any developments are to be reported to site overseer Dr. █████████. Access to video recordings, research and logs may be granted by personnel with level 4 security clearance or higher. Addendum: Following incident 977-I-1, all staff must be escorted by at least one other staff member or member of security personnel at all times while on the SCP-977 site. Failure to follow these procedures will result in reprimands, including (but are not limited to) demotion of security level, loss of privileges, and denial of leave. Object class has been upgraded to Euclid. Description: SCP-977 is a warehouse located in an industrial district in █████ ████████, ███████. The warehouse was brought to the Foundation's attention after it was declared abandoned in ████, and reports of its unusual properties intercepted. The Foundation subsequently purchased the building, designating it Site ██, and these reports were suppressed. Records state that the warehouse was constructed in ████ and, prior to being purchased by the company, was owned by several companies including [REDACTED], spanning a period of ██ years. However, numerous contradictions in the documentation recovered on these leases suggests that these operations were not functioning companies, and may have been cover operations for as yet unidentified group(s) or individual(s). SCP-977 is outwardly unremarkable and, aside from Foundation equipment and the security station, currently empty. Along with a single open storage space typical of a warehouse, the structure contains a number of white, irregular rooms and corridors, many of which are sunk below street level at varying depths, and are all characterized by unusual plateaus, varying ceiling heights and raised platforms. The security station can be accessed via a stairwell next to docking bay C. The monitors are divided into two groups of eighteen, designated group-1 and group-2. All monitors have black and white displays, and do not receive sound. Group-1 receives signals from an unidentified source, showing numerous unconscious persons, visible from the shoulders upwards, wearing identical unisex hospital gowns. These images cycle at eight minute intervals, with a new image/subject replacing the previous one. A cross-reference of these images has identified a total of [REDACTED] unique faces at last count. Group-2 is receiving images of rooms and hallways that match the characteristics of the white rooms contained within the complex; however, while some of these images are verifiably originating from rooms within the warehouse itself, several others do not match the layout of any known room. The last three monitors in group-2 are currently not receiving any signal. The station also features a console with a text-based command input running a unique operating system, the functionality and interface of which are yet to be fully determined. Investigations in to the console's operation and the source of the unknown images are ongoing. Research Log 977-A: Log-977-A-1 Date: ██/██/████ Basic control of the group-2 cameras was established by means of the command console, including rotation (limited to 45 degrees from origin for X-axis motion and 30 degrees for Y-axis motion) and zoom (to a maximum of 2.3x optical zoom). Investigation of seven of the eight cameras revealed nothing; however, a previously unseen figure was observed slumped against a distant wall of the hallway observed by camera 2-6. This hallway is not known to be part of the existing complex. The figure appears to be a dark-skinned male, wearing a hospital gown similar to those worn by subjects viewed on the group-1 monitors, though distance and image quality has hampered further investigation. Log-977-A-5 Date: ██/██/████ Limited interaction with the cameras transmitting to the group-1 cameras was achieved. Catheters are observed protruding from the veins in each subject's right arm; however, the apparatus to which these are connected cannot be observed from this angle. Log-977-A-6 Date: ██/██/████ Movement is observed on monitor 2-11, observing a hallway. A figure was observed to walk slowly across the far end of the corridor around a corner, although image quality is too low for detailed observation. No other movements were recorded on this date. Log-977-A-8 Date: ██/██/████ Interaction with subjects observed through group-1 monitors was achieved. A random identification key was entered in the command console, causing an unidentified white male to be displayed on all group-1 monitors. After a series of subsequent commands, the subject was awakened from unconsciousness. The following is a log of the subject's activity in the hours following awakening: ██/██/████ 1713: Subject awakens slowly. After several minutes, subject raises himself from the bed with difficulty, possibly suffering from muscle atrophy or lingering effects of sedatives. Subject then leaves the field of vision of the bed camera. Movements of the subject for the next 28 minutes are unknown. 1754: Subject appears in a hallway displayed on monitor 2-11, approaching the camera. Hallway is not known to be part of the existing complex. Subject is walking slowly with hunched shoulders and observing surroundings, frequently looking over shoulder. While climbing over a plateau in the centre of the hallway, subject suddenly reacts to some unknown stimulus, and looks over shoulder for several seconds, breathing heavily, then resumes climbing slowly. After two minutes, the subject passes out of the field of vision once again. Subject does not seem to react to the presence of the camera. Movements for the next 17 minutes are unknown. 1811: Subject appears on monitor 2-6, moving away from the camera. After several paces, they see the previously observed body slumped against the wall at the far end of the corridor. Subject stops abruptly, and then turns back towards the camera hurriedly. Movements for the next hour and 39 minutes are unknown. 1950: Subject appears on monitor 2-3, moving towards the camera, breathing heavily but not observably injured. While climbing over a series of small steps, subject trips and falls, and remains on the ground for the following 8 minutes, before unsteadily rising to their feet. Subject then proceeds for another several paces before sitting once again, in a state of visible distress, remaining there for the following 23 minutes. 2013: Subject moves from the stair into a seated position against a neighbouring plateau, facing away from the camera, partly out of the camera's field of vision. 2040: Subject's breathing has become noticeably heavier. 2130: Subject's breathing progressively becomes shallower, taken in large breaths. 2209: Subject's body begins to convulse for a period of 34 minutes. 2243: Subject's movement ceases, assumed deceased. ██/██/████ 1029: Subject's skin appears to be growing darker, or decaying at an accelerated rate. 1656: A number of small, dark growths are observed protruding from the subject's right palm. 2009: Growths have spread across the body's extremities and face, obscuring features. Growths appear as a large number of small, semi-rigid filaments. It is unknown whether these growths are organic or inorganic. ██/██/████ 0338: Subject's body is entirely covered by growth. Log-977-A-14 Date: ██/██/████ Function to change the camera transmitting to individual group-2 monitors by means of the console was determined. Logs are now to be kept of unique camera viewpoints and their corresponding identification keys. Log-977-A-17 Date: ██/██/████ A systematic examination of group-2 identification keys revealed a previously unknown camera concealed within the security station itself. The camera tracked the movements of Dr. ███ independently for several minutes after the cover was removed by Dr. ███, but has since become inactive. The corresponding identification key will also no longer access this camera. Addendum: The discoveries detailed in Log-977-A-17, along with Incident 977-I-1, have necessitated the upgrade of SCP-977 from Safe to Euclid. Please refer to containment procedures for changed security precautions, commencing ██/██/████. Incident Log 977-I Log-977-I-1 Date: ██/██/████ Incident 977-I-1 occurred during a routine inspection of the SCP-977 site by Dr. ██████, who was alone on-site, against Foundation regulations. The incident occurred at 2204 hours, during an inspection of the site's rear corridors. At this time, Dr. ██████ departed from procedure by taking a left at the end of the hallway instead of a right. Questioning suggests that this was a mistake and not deliberate, possibly as a result of fatigue. Personnel taking this route are expected to emerge in the hallway observed by monitor 2-3, though following this Dr. ██████ was not observed on any active monitor for the next 4 hours. At 0221 hours, he is briefly seen in an agitated state moving past the far end of the corridor observed by monitor 2-11, and is not seen again for another 6 hours. At approximately 0830 hours, Dr. ██████████ and Dr. ███ arrived at the site expecting to meet Dr. ██████, and the alarm was raised 15 minutes later when he could not be located. A search operation was launched, concluding at 0904 hours when Dr. ██████'s cries were heard. Dr. ██████ was located near the corridor of his initial disappearance, and was subsequently brought into Site-██ for questioning. Dr. ██████ reported being unaware of having left the known parts of the site for several minutes after having taken a wrong turn. The doctor claims to have been unable to recognize any landmarks when attempting to retrace steps, and was unable to give an accurate estimate of length of time spent searching for a way back to the known site. During this period, Dr. ██████ recounted experiencing periods of intense paranoia, as well as making multiple attempts to contact the Foundation by means of security cameras present in every room. As these cameras were not manned at the time, this cannot be corroborated by Foundation recordings, although Dr. ██████ stated that the cameras did track his movements. Although Dr. ██████ described the corridors as silent, he also reported several incidents of believing to have heard faint or distant sounds, or observing changes in room layout. These may, however, have been a result of fatigue or paranoia. Air pressure also reportedly changed at several irregular intervals. After an unknown amount of time, Dr. ██████ reported coming across a distinctive corridor, leading to what was described as a room very similar to the security station used to monitor SCP-977, although otherwise bare. The two stations reportedly shared a similar setup, both with two distinct groups of monitors viewing unconscious subjects and corridors. However, during Dr. ██████'s examination of the new station, a monitor observing what appeared to be the security station used by Foundation staff was described in place of where one of the three darkened monitors would be in the latter. After a period of exploration, Dr. ██████ reported then observing a dark figure appearing on one of the station's monitors, walking slowly. After several minutes of observation, the doctor then reported seeing several black figures appear on different monitors. When one of which was recognized as having been recently passed by Dr. ██████, he reportedly fled the room in a state of panic. After an extended period, Dr. ██████ recounted eventually coming to a halt in a corridor, falling to the ground out of exhaustion. The doctor recalled having fallen asleep in a seated position, despite apparently having intended to continue his exploration, having been awoken by the shouts of the approaching search party. The doctor was subsequently retrieved, during which time he repeatedly expressed disorientation and claimed to have fallen asleep in a different hallway. Dr. ██████ later retracted this statement, citing uncertainty. A medical check-up revealed Dr. ██████ was physically unharmed by this experience beyond fatigue. The doctor was reprimanded for neglecting Foundation procedure, and his security clearance has been downgraded following the incident, with a review pending in 6 months. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-977" by flayd, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-978 | safe | SCP-978 during initial analysis Item #: SCP-978 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-978 is to be kept in security locker H-J-12 at Site 17, and only to be removed or handled by personnel with Level-2 security clearance or higher. Testing parties may request extra film and printing paper at their leisure. SCP-978 is not to be used for blackmail, entertainment, or personal reasons. This means you. ~ O5-██ All photographs produced by SCP-978 are to be cataloged along with full testing description. Requests to destroy photographs may be processed by Level-4 security clearance or higher personnel, at the discretion of the testing party. Description: SCP-978 appears to be a standard red-and-black Polaroid Supercolor 645 CL instant camera, with no distinctive identifying marks or damage. SCP-978 operates the same as a standard camera, and shows no anomalous behavior beyond the photographs it produces. When a subject is pictured with SCP-978, the photograph that develops shows not what the subject was doing at the time of the photo, but rather what the subject wanted to be doing. This effect appears to be, for the most part, random, sometimes showing drastic changes and deeply suppressed desires, or simple changes and alterations to the subject or their surroundings. SCP-978 appears to be capable of expressing the desires of both humans and other creatures (see testing log) and appears to convey the simplest desires the easiest. Should two subjects with contrasting desires both be photographed together, the subjects' desires appear to 'mix' (see testing log for additional information). Addendum: Subjects are allowed to request photographs of themselves. Remember, people, just because some of the photos show distasteful things doesn't mean that you're going to do them. ~ Dr. ████ Testing Log Log Format Subject: Photographed Activity: Photo Result: Testing 05/██/██ Simple study of basic research team. Subject: Research Assistant James ██████ Photographed Activity: Smiling for the camera, neutral pose. Photo Result: Subject is shown looking much more tired and unprofessional, drinking from a flask.

SCP-979 | euclid | SCP-979, reacting to the camera. Item #: SCP-979 Special Containment Procedures: All individuals suspected of being exposed to SCP-979 must be reviewed for changes in psyche. SCP-979 itself should be contained in a wire cage (and plastic flooring) approximately five (5) metres in length, height, and width. As SCP-979 does not produce waste, there is little need for any bedding. However, SCP-979 should be given a water dispenser of 150 milliliters, refilled daily, to prevent drying out. Also, SCP-979 is allowed one (1) shelter in its cage, consisting of commercial plastic of any color made for medium to large members of the Leporidae family normally sold in pet shops for companionship. SCP-979 is to be monitored with a hidden camera twenty-four (24) hours a day. Should SCP-979's behavior change in any way, it is to be logged and reported to a level 3 or higher personnel. Description: SCP-979 is an animated stoneware figurine in the shape of a member of the family Leporidae. SCP-979 shows subtle differences from traditional members of Leporidae, including but not limited to the ability to express emotion through facial changes and posture that is congruent with typical human reactions. SCP-979 lacks proper anatomy, with its ears and back legs being too long and large, and therefore has extreme difficulty with normal movement. The behavior of SCP-979 shows some sentience, but it generally only reacts to any stimuli with fear and/or avoidance. Any other reaction must be reported to level 3 or higher personnel. SCP-979 emits a high-frequency noise in response to any stimuli; the volume appears proportionate to SCP-979's level of distress. Extended proximity to SCP-979 causes synesthesia of all senses, typically manifesting after four (4) hours and escalating over a variable period of approximately three (3) weeks. Exposure to the noise produced by SCP-979 has been shown to increase the rate at which synesthesia develops; however, recordings have failed to replicate the effect and, as such, the noise is not believed to be the primary cause. The first sense to be affected is typically hearing, although the reason is unknown. Humans exposed to SCP-979 tend to describe a 'whispering, rustling voice' associated with the sensation of touch and will avoid any physical contact with anything as much as possible. Typically, this first effect appears approximately ten (10) minutes after exposure. Within one (1) week, exposure to SCP-979 causes synesthesia in at least three (3) senses, although which three tends to be dependent on the specific person. A level of psychosis appears to develop at this stage, although whether or not it is from mental disturbance of the synesthesia or something else is unknown. The only recorded personnel (hereby labeled SCP-979-V1) exposed to SCP-979 described symptoms similar to high anxiety, most notably the recurring thought of an imagined entity almost touching their skin at all times, especially so during nights, in which the exposed personnel reporting a belief of the imagined entity running any number of limbs up and down their body, just above skin contact. After the passing of approximately two (2) weeks, synesthesia caused by SCP-979 spreads to all senses, although certain senses appear to be less intrusive than others, depending on the specific patient. In SCP-979-V1, the previous recurring thought of the imagined entity became an obsession and SCP-979-V1 regularly attempted to attack the imagined entity with apparently little success. All inquiries on the appearance of the imagined entity were unsuccessful. SCP-979-V1 attempted suicide approximately ██ times during this period and developed severe insomnia. In addition, SCP-979-V1 described hallucinations of the aforementioned entity now almost licking their skin, along with other types of contact such as kissing, stroking, and [REDACTED]. At no point does SCP-979-V1 describe actually being touched. Within three (3) weeks, the synesthesia develops fully in all the senses. SCP-979-V1 had extreme difficulty dealing with any kind of sensory information, mind regularly blocking out senses due to overload. SCP-979-V1 displayed behavior similar to SCP-979 itself and appeared to attempt interaction with hallucinations before falling into a catatonic state. Afterwards, no other progression was shown until a period of five (5) weeks, in which the subject was discovered with a large gash in his torso, organs having been pulled from the body cavity. It is unknown how such a wound came to SCP-979-V1. SCP-979 was found in ██████, Chile. SCP-979 was featured in an exhibition by an artist under the pseudonym of The Kind Man, in the ████████ Museum. After news reports of hallucinations and an outbreak of synesthesia, SCP-979 was placed under Foundation custody. Addendum: + Interview Log 979-01 - Interview Log 979-01 [BEGIN LOG] Doctor D████████ : Good Morning. Please identify yourself. ████ : Morning already? Well, last I checked my name was ████. Don't you whitecoated bastards have a record of this shit lying around? Doctor D████████ : The time is exactly 9:07 AM. Please explain for the recording how last night went. ████ : What, you didn't see it? Doctor D████████ : Nothing recorded last night was particularly unusual. However, your behavior- ████ : You didn't fucking see it?! It was hovering over me the whole damn time! At least [REDACTED] things just barely touching me, I could feel it! When it's not the fucking whispering, it was the colors, the damn smells! Ain't there a way you can reverse this syn-thee-sa bullshit? I've seen you psychopaths do things that make reality shit itself, for chrissakes! Doctor D████████ : Please go into further detail of last night's events according to your perception. Note the camera only caught your erratic behavior before Agent ██████ was forced to intervene. ████ : You gotta be shitting me, with all that fucking technology you couldn't- Doctor D████████ : Please answer the question. What did you see last night? ████ : It ain't a seeing thing, doc. It was a feeling thing. It was like, if I fucking breathed too hard I'd touch whatever the thing was, it was so damn close, just watchin me and hoverin'. Could hear it sayin' somethin', right in my ear, the bastard's fucking with me, he is! I could feel his smell, it was like… the static of the dust on a TV screen, but that little tingling is going in you, right… right here. ████ touches his sternum. And it just builds up till ya have to take a breath, and I swore on my life I almost felt the bastard's hand… tentacle.. thing! He's on me right now, can't you fucking see it?! ████ grows increasingly agitated and begins noticeably hyperventilating. Oh God man… I feel it now… Fuck! Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!! ████ begins to slam his face into the side of the interview table, presumably in a suicide attempt. After repeated orders to stop were ignored, Agent ██████ administered a sedative and took subject back to his observation chamber.

SCP-980 | safe | Item #: SCP-980 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-980 is to be kept in a 3 m x 3 m x 5 m lead room suspended in the center of a 25 m x 25 m x 25 m containment area at Site-██. This room is to have a single glass window aligned with the window to the containment area. The inner window requires replacement every 8 days. Leaded glass is to be used instead—see addendum. The door to this room is to be kept locked at all times that SCP-980 is not under study. Personnel ranking above D-class are not to enter the surrounding containment area due to mental and physical danger. No armed personnel or guards are required near the lift to SCP-980's cell, as it has not shown any means of escaping. In addition, the fall from its containment cell would injure it enough to prevent escape. No feeding or nutrition of any sort is necessary. Description: SCP-980 is a featureless humanoid of average height and weight, indeterminate age and gender, and smooth gray-white skin. SCP-980 does not possess any facial characteristics, sensory organs, or features such as nails and hair. It is injured with relative ease, bleeding a viscous substance that appears similar to white paint. Analysis shows that SCP-980 possesses no internal organs, though it does have a skeletal structure comparable to that of a human. Despite the absence of eyes and ears, SCP-980 appears to display 20/20 vision and slightly above-average hearing. Extensive testing has not explained this, though no abnormalities or anything to suggest other methods of sensory capability have been shown. SCP-980 is able to write in English when prompted, though typing is inefficient due to its influence quickly rendering the keys as well as the monitor unresponsive. SCP-980 naturally inflicts a "simplification effect" on objects and beings within a sphere 8 meters in radius around it. Said effect streamlines the features of objects while removing color, detail, and often function. Animals first lose fur and distinguishing characteristics such as length of limbs and tails, presence of protuberances, etc., while humans develop more average facial features and lose or gain height and weight. This edges towards a rough "average" of around 1.7 meters tall with a weight of 76 kilograms. This is shortly followed by losing facets of their personality, with interests, habits, and memories commonly lost first. While brief exposure to SCP-980 is not physically harmful, prolonged exposure of organic beings with complex circulatory and respiratory systems commonly results in the "simplification" and fusion of parts located near one another. No subjects have reported pain from the process itself. A D-class personnel used to test SCP-980's effects was affected on this level after approximately thirty minutes within SCP-980's containment area, with heart failure occurring almost immediately afterward. Autopsy showed that the chambers of the subject's heart had been fused together. Physical results tend to be somewhat random, usually affecting the heart, lungs, arteries, stomach and intestines, the brain, and the sensory organs. While some cases are not fatal or even harmful in the case of the sensory organs, further exposure to SCP-980 causes transformations at a rapid pace. SCP-980 was found at the █████ █████ apartment complex in ████████, ██, after several hours of exposure to SCP-980 caused deaths and mental harm to nearby civilians as well as color and shape simplification to said apartment complex and many objects inside. At the time of acquisition, it was wearing heavy winter clothing and a hood. SCP-980 has not responded thus far to inquiries as to how it came to be, though room 307 seemed to have been affected more than other nearby locations. In addition, the tenant of room 307, ████ ██████, was unaccounted for among the bodies of SCP-980's "victims". Addendum 980-01: The standard SCP humanoid uniform issued to SCP-980 shortly after its recovery has remained in close proximity to SCP-980 for the entirety of its containment. The uniform showed steady results of simplification but was still serviceable until █-██-20██, when a researcher noticed that it had for the most part vanished. A thin cloud was present in SCP-980's containment cell and the composition of the cell's air was noted to contain 0.██% more hydrogen. Addendum 980-02: Lead was found to be one of few substances that is highly resistant to SCP-980's natural effects on its surroundings. As such, SCP-980's containment cell is constructed entirely of lead, with leaded glass used in its windows. In a recent test leaded glass showed increased resistance to SCP-980's effect, requiring replacement every two weeks. Incident Report 980-04 In the case of one D-class subject, D-980-07, physical transformation did not seem to occur. The subject spent 3 hours in the presence of SCP-980 with no abnormal experiences and was suspected immune until prompted to leave, at which point the subject wordlessly refused and continued to sit in his chair with his eyes closed. Subject responded with a silent refusal each time he was prompted until he was threatened. The subject shoved the table to the side and sprung at SCP-980, embracing it. Another threat was issued and subject began sobbing, continuing to keep his mouth and eyes shut. Subject was removed from containment cell by security after he clung to SCP-980 and attempted to claw through his own eyelids with the use of his nails. Further study of SCP-980's properties has been documented in Experiment Log 980-06. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-980" by ARobot, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-981 | safe | Item #: SCP-981 Special Containment Procedures: Having shown no signs of its influence spreading further than the recorded distance, as long as SCP-981-2 remains within SCP-981-1 it is required only to be stored in a standard artifact room in a locked copper box of at least 1cm thickness. Access to the SCP is by application for level 3 and above only. If SCP-981-2 is to be removed from its canister it must be in a room at least 4m x 4m containing no physical media of any kind, and care must be taken during transport to ensure rooms adjacent, above and below are also cleared. Any memory sticks carried by Foundation personnel should also be removed before entering the room as a precaution. Any media found to contain evidence of potentially Keter-class SCPs must be quarantined at once. Description: SCP-981 comprises of two parts. SCP-981-1 is a steel film canister dating from the late 1920s, with signs of damage concomitant with its apparent age. It is labelled in Spanish as having been copied by the Buenos Aires Cinematographic Laboratory, with the handwritten title ‘236 - Metropolis’. Other writing on the label is too worn to read, but appears to be a name and a short note in a different handwriting. Inside the canister is SCP-981-2, a reel spooled with Kodak Panchromatic nitrate film, on which is a 16mm reduction negative of the 1927 Fritz Lang film Metropolis. The film and the canister it was found in show no unusual markings or indications that they are anything other than a mass-produced stock for distribution to cinemas in the late 1920s. When both components of SCP-981 are placed in proximity to another audiovisual storage medium containing a feature film, the data held on the secondary medium shows alterations not in accordance with any previously known form of the film. Qualitative testing showed that any time spent within 1.93m of the canister is required for effects to show on the test media. When the film is removed from the canister neither component produces the anomaly. Tests on abstract or animated films featuring no live action actors has proved to have no effect. The canister was seized from the museum by two agents of the Foundation posing as officers of GSG-9, stating that the film’s contents were evidence. It was secured in its current site and carefully examined by comparing it to the 2010 restoration edition. The film’s ending featured an extra scene, approximately forty seconds long, which was cut between the robot Maria being burned at the stake and the final cathedral scene. It features Fröhlich’s character Freder walking through an alleyway and finding the end walled off with a white wooden door. He experiences some surprise at the exit being blocked, but opens the door and walks through. Then follows a text plate reading ‘My Lord! I’m near the Cathedral!’ and the film then continues as normal. The door shows similar properties to SCP-249. Both elements of the SCP were discovered on ██/██/██ by a Foundation employee at the Deustsche Kinemathek film museum in Berlin during an unofficial visit following a meeting with the museum's owners regarding the purchase of storage equipment. During a conversation with a curator regarding storage techniques it became apparent that the print was found in close proximity to the original site of the ███████ incident in ████. The curator described it having been found on a shelf in a basement of a building previously used as a youth hostel, resting on top of a copy of the 1931 film The Bad Sister. This had not been retained by the museum as it was believed to be a modern hoax, as Bette Davis’ character was seen in the final reel of the film to violently assault the character played by Sidney Fox at knifepoint. (Taken from Interview 981-A1, with Agent █████: ) Dr ██████: What did they do with it? Agent █████: He said that they’d disposed of the last ten minutes and used the rest for restoration practice. I asked if they still had it but he said it had been burned. He’d said ‘It wasn’t worth keeping, disgusting filth like that.’ And suggested that it had been put there by youths staying at the hostel for a prank. Dr ██████: Did he describe what had been on the tape? Agent █████: He said it was the same as the original up until the point where Davis’ character is normally propositioned by her sister’s fiancé, instead she goes through a desk drawer until she finds a piece of white rock sharpened at one end like a piece of flint, and is seen breaking into her sister’s room and making hundreds of tiny cuts all over her body whilst smothering her with a pillow. The next shot is of an unharmed Sidney Fox leaving the room and smiling at the camera as the screen fades to the credits. Dr ██████: Are you sure he said white? Because that description matches SCP-034. Agent █████: Yes, he stated it was white. So thirty-four's part of a set. (End of Interview segment) Further experimentation was performed under strict criteria: That any media showing evidence of memetic or visually dangerous SCPs be immediately placed under full security control pending destruction, and that the media be viewed by a member of D-class personnel under observation by a Level 1 guard. The content of the film will be fully described to the guard who is under orders to cease playback and/or terminate the D-class viewer if it is decided that it is unavoidable. A frame from the 1927 film ‘College', starring Buster Keaton. Shortly after this shot Keaton throws the bucket over the two actors, covering them in a black viscous liquid. He then breaks down weeping before [DATA EXPUNGED]. Experimental Test Logs: Experiment 981-1A: Date: ██-██-████ Media: ‘It’s a Wonderful Life, (1946), celluloid film. Now designated SCP-981-A. Divergence time: ██:██ Details: Instead of stating that ‘Every time a bell rings an angel gets their wings’ the character of Clarence pats Jimmy Stewart on the back and says ‘It’s only eight seconds, it’ll hardly hurt a bit.’ Instead of running back to Bedford Falls Stewart’s character enters what appears to be a Mayan pyramid, where he spends three minutes running from room to room until he finds a room which has a slight green hue despite the black and white film stock. There is tiny writing all over the walls. He picks up a small rock and starts scratching out sections of the text, and with each scratch the room shakes and dust falls from the ceiling as if from a seismic event. He continues scratching as the screen fades to end credits. Experiment 981-1B: Date: ██-██-████ Media: ‘Manos: The Hands of Fate’, 1966, VHS. Now designated SCP-981-B. Divergence time: ██:██ Details: During the denouement when The Master confronts Michael, instead of finding Michael and his family hiding in a room they are all [DATA EXPUNGED]. The Master drops onto his knees and begins praying at an area of the room just outside the scope of the camera. Just before the screen fades to black the area around the Master darkens as if by a negative spotlight and he cries "It's just as I expected!" before falling to one side, blood streaming from his eyes and nose as the film fades to credits. Experiment 981-1C: Date: ██-██-████ Media: ‘The Dark Knight’, 2008, DVD. Now designated SCP-981-C. Divergence time: ██:██ (Film runs ██ minutes shorter due to missing scenes) Details: The scene where Heath Ledger’s Joker is hanging upside down having been caught by Batman runs as in the original theatrical edit, but at the end Ledger looks directly at the camera and says ‘You don’t realise, do you? Two thousand? You haven’t even started.’ He then pulls out a bright blue █████████ and a knife, runs the blade across his throat and dips the █████████ in his blood. He then becomes gradually transparent and fades from view as Christian Bale’s closing speech originally used at the end of the film leads into new credits, which list every cast and crew member's name as ‘Youhaven’tevenstarted’. Addendum: Aside from the clear danger that this SCP poses to the security of the Foundation’s records, it clearly has the ability to transfer evidence of clearly undiscovered SCPs. As a research tool its potential is great, and a qualitative system of testing must be established. The careful use of this could be of great benefit to the Foundation, but to reiterate: Any media found to contain evidence of recognised or potential memetic or Keter-class SCPs must be quarantined at once, and no contact with other media based SCPs should be attempted with highest level approval. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-981" by deValmont, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-982 | safe | Item #: SCP-982 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-982 is to be kept in a negative-pressure climate-controlled facility, and must remain closed and bolted except during approved exploration. A perpetual chronometer is to be mounted on the wall alongside SCP-982, counting down an interval of 26 (twenty-six) hours and 15 (fifteen) minutes. SCP-982 must be closed no later than at 0 hours 1 minute 30 seconds, regardless of whether all exploration team members have emerged. All exploration team members must receive dialect coaching and full-spectrum vaccinations before entering SCP-982, and undergo decontamination upon emerging. Items extracted from SCP-982 are to be considered potential biohazards and contained as such. Description: SCP-982 is an antique casement window, recovered from a Marshall, Carter, and Dark auction, and originally taken from the abandoned business offices of ███ ██████, a 19th-century patent attorney in Chicago, IL. No matter where it is mounted, SCP-982 opens onto the street outside ███ ██████'s third-story office, as it was between 8:30 AM on Friday, March 26, 1875 and 10:45 AM on Saturday, March 27, 1875. Personnel exiting this window find themselves in what is apparently 1875 Chicago; however, at the end of the 26-hour interval, the city 'resets'. Any external objects or personnel within the city at that time are lost. The size of the area accessible via SCP-982 is not known; exploration teams have been able to send telegrams to ████████ in England, and receive responses. Exiting 1875 must be done by climbing back through SCP-982 from the outside; attempts to access SCP-982 from within the offices of ███ ██████ reveal only an ordinary window. Exploration teams are advised that the Chicago Police in 1875 react with hostility towards the use of grappling guns and rope ladders to re-enter SCP-982; since all changes are eliminated at the reset, the use of lethal force is fully sanctioned with no risk to the timeline. Addendum: As a result of incident 982-215/74, an altercation with Chicago Police Officers █████████ and ████, SCP-982 has been found to be bulletproof on the 1875 side. Note: The use of SCP-982 as a source of D-class personnel is deprecated due to the possibility of cross-SCP contamination. Addendum: Thus far, all attempts to locate ███ ██████, either alive or dead, have failed. Other occupants of the building report last seeing ███ ██████ in the afternoon of Thursday, March 25, 1875. Beggars and street vendors report not having noticed him leave the premises. His neighbors did not see him return to his home on the evening of the 25th, nor did they see him leave his home on the morning of the 26th. His secretary reports that the last client of the day on Thursday was "a peculiar unwashed man with some odd accent that sounded [Polish]", but is unable to provide a more detailed description; the client had arrived without an appointment or a visiting card. Exploration missions which begin after SCP-982's internal chronology has reached Friday evening report that ███ ██████ does not show up for work on Friday, nor does he return to his home. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-982" by Voct, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-983 | safe | Item #: SCP-983 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-983 is completely safe so long as technicians handling it do so on any day other than their birthday. Should SCP-983 be presented to or handled by any individual on the yearly anniversary of their birth, they should immediately follow the sing-along guidelines contained in Emergency Kit 135r located next to the door to SCP-983’s containment chamber. In the event the targeted individual fails to meet sing-along requirements, their remains are to be disposed of through standard methods. In the event the targeted individual meets the sing-along requirements, the following pieces of data are to be collected: Age, Color of Candy collected, Singing Accuracy obtained by the best judgment of those present, and the number of verses that passed before acknowledgment by SCP-983. No candy obtained from SCP-983 is to be consumed by any staff without senior staff-approved containment procedures in place and written waivers filed and stamped by the consumer. This requirement is waived in the case of Class-D candy testing. Description: SCP-983 is a vintage mechanical monkey with a faded date located on the bottom of the left foot, placing its manufacture at some point in the 1940s by an unknown person or company. The monkey is dressed in the remains of what used to be a popular vest design for circus ringmasters. In the monkey’s left hand, there is a lightly tarnished brass bell. In the right hand, the monkey holds a small brass striking rod. The monkey is capable of emitting speech and sound, although examination of the object has revealed no seams, screws, or openings that would indicate a method of disassembly. SCP-983 is completely harmless and inert under most circumstances and may be handled without special precautions so long as the handler is not experiencing the 24-hour period considered the anniversary of their birth. Once SCP-983 physically comes into contact with an individual on their birthday, it will spring to life and do a single back flip before raising its bell and singing a simple song. A RING DING DING DING IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY! This single verse will be followed by the monkey striking its bell producing a tone that varies in pitch from quite high to rather low. SCP-983’s singing was found to vary slightly in pitch as well but maintained a very excited and happy tone. SCP-983 will sing this song once every three to four seconds, pausing only to ring its bell, until the new owner has died or met the sing-along requirements, which as of yet are not completely understood but are believed to be based in timing the sing-along properly with SCP-983. Each verse sung by SCP-983 appears to age the ‘owner’ of the item by what is estimated at one year. By singing along with SCP-983, the ‘owner’ may deactivate the monkey which, once done successfully, results in a triumphant declaration of ’BIRTHDAY!’ from SCP-983, at which time it will ring its bell once and produce a single gumdrop-style candy from the bell. The approach of singing along with SCP-983 has a direct impact on the color of the candy and the side effects of its consumption. Test groups instructed to follow Document 135r to the letter have verified that a perfect sing-along results in the production of crystal-clear candy with mildly luminescent qualities. A near-perfect sing-along produces the same candy minus the luminescence. Both of these candy types have been verified as restoring any age lost by the consumer due to SCP-983’s song; however, the luminescent candy may also grant additional time and youth, though as of yet this theory is unproven due to the low production rate of this candy. Due to the inconsistencies in attitude, tone, behavior, and approach when trying to match SCP-983’s song, a wide variety of candies have been produced. Under absolutely no circumstances are black candies allowed to be consumed, although other colors may be consumed pending prior approval and containment arrangements. The initial activation of SCP-983 was in a highly uncontrolled environment, so a ‘retelling’ is the best record available of the incident. Subsequent tests of interest in more controlled environments have been attached to this document as well as candy effects for those experiments. SCP-983 First Activation SCP-983 was purchased from a local flea market intended as a gift for a monkey admirer as a joke. The seller of the monkey warned the purchaser that it was to be seen and never touched by anyone on the day of their birth, but was unable to give exact reasons why, stating it was a warning passed to them that was well observed and may have been ‘Gypsy legend or some other bull████.’ Upon the birthday of SCP-983’s intended new owner, the gift was unwrapped and the monkey handled, at which point it sprang into song. Staff attending the birthday party of their coworker were amused as was the recipient at first; however, witnesses state the recipient became more and more agitated the longer the monkey sang. After ten estimated verses, the recipient tried to find a way to turn the device off, to no avail. Attendees state that at this time several persons noted streaks of silver within the recipient’s hair. Following an estimated 8 to 10 more verses from SCP-983, the grey was quite pronounced as were signs of wrinkling or stress on the recipient’s face. Within five more verses, the recipient returned the monkey to rest and complained of not having the strength to deal with this nonsense, pleading for someone to turn it off. With SCP-983 not being fully realized as a potentially dangerous object, there was panic and sloth in the reactions of the attending staff, which led to SCP-983 being able to complete what can only be estimated at thirty or perhaps forty more verses before a containment crew could arrive at the party locale. By this point, the recipient had long since expired due to aging, leaving only a skeletal frame remaining in his chair with the skin clinging to it. With confusion on how to approach SCP-983 safely, it was allowed to sing for roughly another minute before it ceased of its own accord, at which point nothing remained of the original recipient other than his purely skeletal remains. SCP-983's final verse consisted of the single word, “BIRTHDAY!”, which it announced joyously before doing a single backflip and ringing its bell once. From the bell fell a single candy resembling a gumdrop pure black in color. This candy was never consumed and was described as being moderately entrancing, drawing a person's gaze into it until an outside source distracted them. With a number of individuals at the scene and the general chaos involving the incident, no single person was able to become too focused on the candy and it was safely contained. SCP-983 Controlled Activation #32 During test #32 regarding SCP-983 one test subject █████ ██████████ volunteered for testing as her birthday had approached and she displayed qualities unique in comparison to previous test subjects, specifically an exceptionally upbeat and excited approach to her birthday. █████ is referred to as ‘the subject’ for the remainder of this test. Without explanation as to what to expect, the subject was given SCP-983 as a wrapped present with the prior warning that this object sings and it would make for a great birthday video if she were to sing along with it. The subject displayed glee and acceptance of SCP-983 as a suitable gift when it was unwrapped, and required no guidance in singing along with the object as it began. The subject went above and beyond the singing requirements missing only the first verse to get the words and picking up immediately at the second then continuing for a total of forty-five (45) verses for a total of forty-six (46) completed. During the singing process the subject displayed the expected aging process with each verse that passed, but displayed no loss of energy or enthusiasm in continuing the songs till their end. The subject remained completely unaware of her body’s physical state throughout the experiment. Upon completion of the final verse SCP-983 announced the finale as expected with stating ’BIRTHDAY!’ loudly and performing a single backflip followed by a ringing of its bell. The candy produced from the bell was recorded as being a vibrant white color with vaguely luminescent properties. The subject noted it was the most beautiful confectionery that they had ever seen and observing staff also noted admiration for the gumdrop. In keeping with the control of the experiment the subject was allowed to consume the candy. Upon finishing the candy and following a one-hour period of monitoring there was no indication that any side effect occurred from consumption. With the experiment about to be declared finished the subject asked to leave and was excused from the testing area, at which point she exploded with blinding light that damaged the cameras monitoring the experiment and left all attendees blind for five minutes following the burst. Assisting personnel who rushed to the scene described a faint lingering light that remained for at least two minutes in the place where the subject stood before it faded out. The subject has not been located since this experiment and unusually high electromagnetic activity has been noted within the area that was used for testing. Replacement of light fixtures within this area has also risen approximately 70% from the norm throughout other areas of the facility; however, no decrease in lighting has been reported in any area affected by this anomaly. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-983" by NekoChris, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-984 | safe | SCP-984 Item #: SCP-984 Special Containment Procedures: The facility where SCP-984 is located (hereby Site-48) is currently under the auspices of ██████████ Company, a Foundation shell corporation. The door to SCP-984 is to remain externally locked at all times except during experimentation, as are all stalls in SCP-984. Only Class-D personnel may enter SCP-984 without protective armor and a firearm. No less than three Level-0 medical personnel are to be stationed at Site-48 at all times. Should SCP-984 become activated for any reason, these personnel must be called to SCP-984 to provide medical attention to any persons exiting SCP-984. Description: SCP-984 is a restroom located in [REDACTED]. Upon recovery, three light bulbs were found smashed. Under normal circumstances, SCP-984 is only unusual in that it has been partially soundproofed with commercially available materials. SCP-984 will only display overtly anomalous properties under the following conditions: No persons are in any open areas of SCP-984. Exactly one stall in SCP-984 is occupied by exactly one person. The door to said stall must be closed and locked. At least one light fixture in SCP-984 is nonfunctional or off. Should the above conditions be met at any time, one or more instances of SCP-984-1 will materialize inside SCP-984 once a person exits a stall. Specimens of SCP-984-1 tend to be large, highly aggressive mammals of varying species.1 All SCP-984-1 specimens disappear nine minutes after manifestation. SCP-984-1 will not willingly leave SCP-984 for any reason, and will disappear if it is forced to do so. Instances of SCP-984-1 will display symptoms and mannerisms characteristic of a mid- to late-stage infection of rabies. However, unlike most rabid animals, SCP-984-1 will display marked hostility towards humans, particularly any persons who enter SCP-984. As persons in SCP-984 are not typically prepared to handle dangerous animals, victims are often bitten several times before being able to properly defend themselves. In cases where at least one specimen of SCP-984-1 is particularly large or strong, it is possible for SCP-984-1 to kill the victim shortly after manifesting. Should the victim survive being attacked by SCP-984-1, they will experience significant confusion regarding the events that transpired in SCP-984. In some cases, victims will attribute their injuries to mundane phenomena that would not normally cause said trauma. Footnotes 1. Specimens have included Canis lupus, Alces alces, Ursus arctos, and in one case an instance of SCP-1000. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-984" by Communism will win, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-985 | euclid | Item #: SCP-985 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-985 is to be kept under video surveillance at all times. Live-feed cameras are to be placed in all three sections of SCP-985's housing, and the feeds are to be under observation by at least one Foundation employee at all times. In the event that observation fails for any period of time, on-site reserve personnel are to be activated, and the area is to be placed under lockdown until containment of SCP-985 and any items produced by the SCP is reestablished. Description: SCP-985 is a conveyor baggage claim, located within Terminal ██ of the [REDACTED] International Airport. According to construction records, SCP-985 was installed at the same time as all other baggage claims in that terminal, and reviews of maintenance reports has failed to produce any leads regarding the unusual properties exhibited by SCP-985. While all sections are kept under observation, SCP-985 operates indistinguishably from any other baggage claim in the terminal, and the amount of electricity drawn by the machine remains relatively constant. Should one of the three sections of SCP-985 (runway access, conveyor system, or terminal access) cease to be observed, the machine's electrical draw begins to fluctuate rapidly, though no correlation has been determined between these fluctuations and the machine's other effects. At this point, various items of luggage will begin to enter the observed portions of the machine, said items having no apparent point of entry. These items are of varying shape and size, and in some cases do not correspond to modern security requirements for luggage taken aboard airplanes. Said items will continue along the conveyor along with the original contents of the conveyor until they are either taken from the line or reenter an unobserved section, at which point they disappear from the line and are no longer to be found. Items of luggage "produced" by SCP-985 (hereby collectively designated SCP-985-1) appear to exhibit mild inhibitory effects on certain areas of the human brain. This results in a general inability to distinguish SCP-985-1 luggage from normal baggage of similar appearance, resulting in SCP-985-1 items being mistaken by airline passengers for their own belongings and withdrawn mistakenly. The effect persists upon the luggage being opened, often resulting in accidental injuries to the recipients of SCP-985-1 when they attempt to make use of the contents. SCP-985 was brought to the Foundation's attention following the events of ████-19██, when a piece of SCP-985-1 luggage was retrieved by a businessman whose connecting flight was delayed. Upon the luggage being passed through security again before boarding the connecting flight, the presence of [DATA EXPUNGED] and electrical components, as well as high levels of gamma radiation, resulted in the airport being placed into lockdown and the man being detained for questioning. Foundation agents were called to the site following the discovery of the original luggage in the "unclaimed baggage" area, as well as luggage belonging to several other passengers, all of whom, when contacted, were discovered to have also mistakenly acquired SCP-985-1 luggage. Addendum 985-001: List of notable contents of SCP-985-1 luggage Assorted scrap metal Several sets of clothing, of various styles, composed of an unknown metallic fiber. On being worn, the fiber scrapes against the skin of the wearer, typically causing numerous shallow cuts across the skin and heavy blood loss. One (1) United States Army-issue M16 assault rifle, fully disassembled One (1) plastic water bottle, containing highly compressed air (est. pressure 400 kPa). Models suggest that any attempt to open the bottle would result in massive injury to the would-be consumer via the resulting pressure release. One (1) steel crowbar One (1) bottle of shampoo, identified by the label as [REDACTED] brand (said brand ceased production during the late 1990's). The gel contained in the bottle includes a variety of enzymes which are capable of denaturing the proteins in human hair. Thirty-seven (37) knives, of assorted make and model [REDACTED, SEE ADDENDUM 985-003] Addendum 985-002: Results of test 985-A Areas under observation: runway access, terminal access Test protocols: Researchers attempted to feed a wireless camera, concealed inside an article of SCP-985-1, along the runway portion of the conveyor into the unobserved middle section. Test results: Camera ceased transmitting upon entering the unobserved portion. Pieces of the camera were later found inside an item of SCP-985-1 taken from the terminal section of the conveyor, the device having apparently been destroyed via extreme blunt force. No data could be recovered from the camera's internal memory. Addendum 985-003: Results of test 985-B Areas under observation: conveyor system, terminal access Test protocols: Researchers fed a camera, connected via 100 meters of high-tensile cable to an on-site display, from the conveyor system through terminal access and back out to the unobserved runway access (the runway having been cleared in advance of the test). Test results: Camera successfully looped around the terminal section and back into the conveyor area. As it approached the exit to the runway access area, however, the feed from the camera was noted as becoming "fuzzy" and suffering loss of detail. Upon exiting the observed areas, the feed abruptly cut out, but the cord remained intact and continued to unreel. After approximately five minutes, the cable reached its maximum extent, simultaneous with the introduction of an instance of SCP-985-1 to the conveyor system. This instance was opened by researchers (survivors reported sounds from inside the case as their reason for forgoing typical precautions) releasing [DATA EXPUNGED], which caused substantial damage to the conveyor system area and the deaths of two on-site personnel. Despite the scale of the event, SCP-985 itself was undamaged, and the remains of the [DATA EXPUNGED] were unable to be recovered. Local media outlets reported a tragic mechanical failure as the source of the destruction. Plans for reclassification to Safe have been scrapped, further investigation is pending - Dr. ███ ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-985" by Daedalize, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-986 | safe | Item #: SCP-986 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-986 is currently stored in the Anomalous Document Repository at Site-11. The contents of SCP-986 are to be examined for changes by research staff on a weekly basis. Any changes to the contents of SCP-986 are to be recorded by staff after notifying the Research Director. A list of SCP-986 messages and narratives can be accessed with the permission of the Research Director. Preference for staff assignment to SCP-986 is to be granted to personnel with an educational background in literary criticism and/or cryptography. Description: SCP-986 is an unpublished manuscript entitled The Absent Willows, likely written by American novelist William Faulkner. The manuscript consists of 1208 bound pages, containing an original work of fiction and a supplementary section. No references to it were made by Faulkner in any of his personal correspondence, nor has it been cited by literary scholars as being among possible unpublished works of the author. At irregular intervals, typewritten text will manifest via unknown means in the 850-page supplemental section of SCP-986. While the text of The Absent Willows is written in type consistent with the Underwood Standard Portable typewriter used throughout Faulkner's life, text appearing in the supplemental section does not match any known standard typeface. The content of the text appearing in SCP-986 invariably consists of a repeating six-character format that upon initial viewing does not appear to have any understandable content (e.g. "GQCCKD OVNFSP QXXHAE"). This text currently fills 58% of the supplemental section, with the rest comprised of blank paper. SCP-986 came to the attention of the Foundation in 1964, after a representative from Random House entrusted with examination of Faulkner's papers attempted to sell it to a literary auction house in Luxembourg. Initial analysis upon the recovery of SCP-986 determined that the anomalous text manifested in SCP-986 was a series of encrypted messages. Cryptanalysts soon recognized the pattern of encryption as a book cipher, but lacked the key. In 1972, with the use of computer-aided mathematical analysis models, the Site-11 Cryptanalysis Office identified a passage in the 1942 first edition of Go Down, Moses as the key to the cipher. Messages appearing in SCP-986 have subsequently been decoded and transcribed. Research Log 986-1: Contents of SCP-986 Pages 1-358 Summary: A novel titled The Absent Willows, set primarily in rural Mississippi and taking place at three distinct time periods (the American Civil War, the 1910s, and the 1950s). The novel deals primarily with the experiences of members of the African-American Wilpher family at the Jesperson Plantation and the fictional town of Muskogee, Mississippi. Unlike many previous Faulkner novels, this work is not set in Yoknapatawpha County, nor does it utilize any characters from his established canon. Synopsis: Part One of the novel relates the story of Sunny Wilpher, a slave of the Jesperson family entrusted to oversee the domestic servants of the plantation manor. During the extended absence of Col. Alphonse Jesperson due to the American Civil War and the presence of Union troops in the surrounding countryside, Sunny assumes control of the plantation and its dwindling resources. A revolt against his custodianship by both black and white field hands eventually forces Sunny to acknowledge his paternity of Thomas Sooter, a mixed-race stable boy assumed to be Col. Jesperson's bastard offspring. Part Two is a first-person narrative told by Slumber Wilpher, an elderly African-American man in the present day (the 1960s by the book's chronology). Slumber (later revealed to be Thomas Sooter's grandson) relates the tale of a boyhood encounter with a traveling preacher in the woods outside of Muskogee, Mississippi. Following a cryptic exhortation from the deaf preacher to "look between the trees", Slumber embarks on a journey deep into the forest. After an attack by wild boar that costs Slumber his right index finger, he passes out from blood loss, only to awaken in a clearing far into the forest's interior. He is told by a hallucinatory figure that he has found his father's final resting place. Part Three is a poetic transcription of a vision experienced by Tyrus Murtry, Slumber's nephew. Tyrus, living in New Orleans as a dockworker, receives a letter from a person claiming to be his teenage daughter. Upon reading it, Tyrus retreats to his rented room in a Ninth Ward shotgun house and falls into an extended reverie. Laden with metaphorical imagery and narrative that at times appears to directly address the reader, the concluding portion of The Absent Willows focuses on a woman known only as "Hec'ba" and her various interludes in Tyrus' life. The novel ends with Tyrus recollecting his drowning of a female infant by a reed-filled riverbank, an event that may or may not be metaphorical within the narrative. Notes: No anomalous properties observed. Literary analysis confirms that thematic choices and settings do not conform to any previous works. However, word choice, style, syntax and narrative focus all indicate Faulkner as almost certainly being the author of this work. Pages 359-491 Summary: This section consists of decoded messages appearing immediately after The Absent Willows. The messages form an untitled narrative that is apparently a retelling of a passage from Part Two of the novel. Synopsis: An unspecified Native American female enters a clearing in a forest very similar to that described in Part Two of The Absent Willows. She recalls the history of her father's tribe in the region, and in particular the slaughter of a European hunting party days before her birth. After entreating unnamed spirits to watch over her family, she conducts burial rites for her stillborn son. Notes: This narrative was decoded from text that appeared spontaneously in SCP-986 during a period ending in 1968. Due to early portions of the text existing prior to Foundation recovery, the starting date of this portion of the SCP-986 transmissions is unknown. Pages 492-656 Summary: Pages 492-656 are an apparent autobiography of William Faulkner. Note that Faulkner did not publish an autobiography during his lifetime. Synopsis: A narrator (presumably William Faulkner, though at no point does the narrator identify themselves by name) provides an account of the events of their life as a distinguished writer in the American South. The first three chapters of this narrative match known information about the early life of Faulkner. However, beginning with Chapter Four, major deviations from documented accounts of Faulkner's life emerge. These include several major events not known previously to have befallen Faulkner: A two-year commitment in Willoughby Sanitorium in Jackson, Mississippi at the age of 14 due to an unspecified mental illness. A homosexual affair with a married professor at Yale University. A nine-month imprisonment in a German POW camp during the First World War A meeting with Arthur Findlay during a speaking tour in Great Britain in 1937. As the narrative continues, events depicted in the autobiography vary increasingly from established understanding of Faulkner's life. In the closing chapters of the book, the narrator skips significant periods of time without explanation of events in between chapters, and events that appear to be completely unrelated to Faulkner's life (such as a stint as a water carrier in the Punjab, test-flying an experimental aircraft and being tried for murder) are related to the reader. Investigation by Foundation staff has determined that some events described in this narrative (such as the confinement in Willoughby Sanitorium1 and the meeting with Findlay) did in fact occur and were never documented by official biographers, while others (the murder trial, and claims of contracting a case of malaria) have proven demonstrably false. The veracity of much of the narrative, however, is impossible to confirm or deny at this time. Notes: Following a long period of inactivity, the coded text comprising this section of narrative began manifesting in 1975, and continued appearing until concluding in 1982. Pages 657-678 Summary: This portion of SCP-986 (titled "What's to be Done?" in accordance with the first line of text transmitted) is a dialogue between two (possibly three) nameless characters. Synopsis: Two unnamed characters speak to each other for an extended period. The dialogue follows a pattern, wherein the first character will posit a question or statement, followed by the phrase "what's to be done?". The second character will offer a nonsensical solution, followed by the first character asking another question. EXCERPT OF SCP-986 PAGE 661 "How would you go about convincing a friend that they need to take care of themselves too? What's to be done?" "Line his pockets with quarters. Make all times feel like the second time." "Aunt Marta wrote me a letter today. What's to be done?" "Wait." From Page 669 onward, the second character will always answer the first character by suggesting an act of self-harm, e.g. self-mutilation, a humiliating action, or some form of suicide. A possible interpretation of this development is that the second character has been replaced by a different speaker. Notes: "What's to be Done?" was transmitted by SCP-986 from 1982 to 1984. It is the first example of text transmitted by SCP-986 that conclusively does not match Faulkner's writing style. Cryptanalysts currently analyzing this section for evidence of additional ciphers. Pages 679-798 Summary: Pages 679-798 represent the current "narrative" being transmitted by SCP-986, and consist of an exegesis of the Book of Thomas the Contender, a non-canonical document related to the biblical New Testament. Synopsis: The majority of this section at the present time consists of a reproduction of passages from the text of the Book of Thomas, followed by lengthy commentary on each passage. The commentary offered in SCP-986 has proven difficult to interpret, as it will often be written in poetic verse, meaningless sequences of letters resembling the original book cipher the text is decoded from, or a dialogue between characters resembling those in "What's to be Done?" (the Book of Thomas is itself a dialogue for the most part). At Page 796, the style of the section abruptly changes, and is replaced with sentence fragments, usually consisting of between 1-3 words. As of 11/02/2010, this has been the modality of SCP-986 transmissions. EXCERPT OF SCP-986 PAGE 796 "The writer of this passage can't seem to make up his mind as to whether the lower self or the higher self is speaking. It's possibly related to an inexpert translation, a common problem among the early Gnostic scholars. What's to be done?" "Put it in fourth. The road will be less Who. These eyes. No hands. Who. Flee. Flee now. Who. No idea. No. Notes: This section has been transmitting since 1998. Since 11/02/2010, short bursts of between ten and fifteen characters of text have manifested in SCP-986 every 36 days. Footnotes 1. Willoughby Sanitorium closed in 1929. Foundation operatives have seized all patient records related to the Sanitorium and demolished the former grounds in 1978. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-986" by Kalinin, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-987 | euclid | Item #: SCP-987 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-987 is currently housed at Research Site-14 in an airtight 5 x 12 x 3 meter concrete-walled chamber encased in a Faraday cage. Continuous illumination is provided by conventional fixtures in the ceiling. Access is restricted to Level 2 personnel or D-class personnel assigned by Level 3 personnel. The chamber is to be constantly monitored remotely by thermographic and standard cameras. In the event that SCP-987-1 is not detectable by thermographic imagery, the site director and head of security are to be notified. Although it is probable that SCP-987-1 has vacated the chamber, a Containment Breach Alert is not to be sounded by personnel on duty unless expressly authorized by the site director or head of security. Description: SCP-987 is a collection of mirrors (SCP-987-a through h m) and an anomalous entity (SCP-987-1) that is only directly detectable by thermographic scans. SCP-987-1 (commonly referred to as 'the Curator') is an endothermic area approximately 0.5 x 0.5 x 2 meters that moves at ground level. It drains heat in a radius that varies from 1 to 2 meters. It also has demonstrated the ability to manipulate objects up to 150 kg in mass, at a distance up to 8 meters away. Objects manipulated at a distance of more than 2 meters are not subject to heat loss. Periodically SCP-987-1 dissipates and is undetectable for periods between 15 minutes and 1.5 hours, and there has been no record of anomalous activity during these times. It has not been confirmed that SCP-987-1 actually breaches containment. When the chamber is empty of personnel, SCP-987-1 moves about in no discernible pattern, pausing in front of different mirrors for up to approximately 30 minutes each. The entity exhibits awareness of any personnel that enter the containment area and maintains a distance of at least 3 meters away. SCP-987-1 has only aggressively reacted to those who have tampered with SCP-987-a through h m in any manner other than cleaning them carefully. SCP-987-a through h m are mirrors of various sizes and types. Seven Eight of them are medicine cabinets; the others are wall mounted mirrors of various sizes and makes, the largest of which measures approximately 1 x 1.5 meters. Style and construction details indicate that all were manufactured between the 1940's and 1990's. SCP-987-a through h m exhibit no anomalous characteristics other than their reflections, although exhaustive testing has been hampered by SCP-987-1. Photographic imaging and video recordings show a normal mirrored surface. When viewed directly, the surface of the mirrors do not reflect an image of the room they are currently in, but rather they show a different scene, presumably of their previous location. [Edit] The original locations of SCP-987-c, -k, and -m were identified and confirms the aforementioned theory. [See Addendum Log SCP-987-2] The reflections each show a scene of a violent death of a human subject, most commonly in a bathroom. The images are not static, but rather run as a loop lasting from 48 seconds to over 4 minutes. If viewed for 2 full cycles, the images change and the subjects become aware of the viewer as if looking through a window, often soundlessly pleading for help as the scenes unfold. The aggressor(s) also occasionally interact with the viewer by making hostile gestures or writing on the surface of the mirror. On 5 occasions since ██/██/199█, SCP-987-1 has dissipated and become unobservable as noted above. In each case a new mirror has appeared among the others as it reforms. In some cases, the mirrors were collected long after the violent incident they portray, even decades later. The latest addition, SCP-987-m, appeared ██/██/2010. Addendum Log SCP-987-1: [DATA REDACTED] Addendum Log SCP-987-2: Identified Victims SCP-987-c █████ ██████, male, 62 years old, bathroom of an upscale home in █████████, California, ██/██/1968. Victim is bound and kneeling on the bathroom floor. A young Asian woman, dressed in attire suitable for a prostitute of the time enters, [DATA EXPUNGED]. Victim expires due to asphyxiation. During the third cycle, the aggressor usually stops at the mirror to reapply the lipstick and places a 'kiss mark' on the glass while looking directly at the viewer. SCP-987-k █████ █████, male, 34 years old, hallway of a home in ██████, Maine, ██/██/20██. Subject is standing on a ladder installing a chandelier. Subject loses balance and becomes entangled in the light fixture, pulling a length of electrical wiring from the ceiling. Subject is simultaneously electrocuted and strangled. During the third cycle, the subject shows various levels of apprehension when starting the task, the incident is more gruesome in nature, and usually includes the discovery of the dying subject by his wife. Note: In this case, the mirror was observed to be missing from the home when the death was discovered. It appeared at Research Site-14 at approximately the time of subject's demise. SCP-987-1 had dissipated at least 15 minutes before the onset of the events depicted in SCP-987-k. SCP-987-m █████ ███████, female, 20 years old, bathroom of Room ███ in the Hotel ███████ in New York City, ██/██/1978. Victim reacts in fear from aggressor out of view and attempts to run out of room. Unidentified male in denim jacket stabs victim once in abdomen and flees. Victim falls to the floor and quickly expires. During the third cycle, victim is clearly inebriated and attempts to communicate with viewer before aggressor enters. After the stabbing, aggressor proceeds to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Note: It is very probable but not certain that the presence of SCP-987-a through m is a primary factor in the containment of SCP-987-1. In light of this, any testing that may be disruptive to SCP-987-1's behavior patterns must be approved by the site director. Note: As the Faraday shielding seems ineffective, and the role played by SCP-987-1 in these incidents is uncertain, Dr. ███████ has requested use of ███ █████ technology to attempt to contain SCP-987-1. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-987" by Agent Angus Smith, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-988 | safe | SCP-988 Item #: SCP-988 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-988 is to be housed in a locked, unilluminated cell with no observation windows. It is to be kept in a latched state and secured with a padlock whose key is to be stored at a separate facility. No experiments of any kind are to be performed on SCP-988. Description: SCP-988 is an unopenable wooden chest. SCP-988 is composed of oak with iron fittings and measures approximately 1.5 m x 0.5 m x 0.75 m. While SCP-988 possesses a latch, it did not possess a lock when discovered. The latch moves freely when not secured, and gentle manipulation of the lid has revealed it to move freely on its hinges. When SCP-988 is lifted and tilted an object can be felt to shift within. This object is seemingly irregular in shape and is estimated to have a mass of approximately 3 kilograms. Despite the lack of any apparent obstacle, SCP-988 cannot be opened. All attempts fail due to the intervention of external circumstances. In the 53 documented attempts at opening SCP-988 directly by hand, persons have been observed to become lost on their way to its current location, suffer injury preventing them from reaching it, and in 9 cases have died spontaneously of apparently natural causes just before completing the action. The 7 documented attempts at opening SCP-988 via machine or other indirect mechanism have been stopped respectively by electrical shorts, mechanical jams, and in one case the mislabeling of a bottle of epoxy as lubricant. The "unopenable" property appears to extend to indirect methods of scanning SCP-988's contents. All attempts at sonographic, electromagnetic, and passive imaging of emissions outside of the visual spectrum have failed due to similar circumstances. Comparison of the results of attempts to open SCP-988 with actuarial tables have demonstrated that outcomes correspond to normal probability, with the single exception that the possibility of the object being opened has been entirely removed. The mechanism by which SCP-988 prevents itself from being opened is currently unknown. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-988" by Seibai, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-989 | safe | SCP-989, currently in containment Item #: SCP-989 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-989 is to be stored in secure Locker ███-██ in Site 22 until further notice. Secure Locker ███-██ is to contain an electronic scale, which is to report the current weight of the object at all times. Any change in the weight before testing and after testing that is +/- 1g beyond test materials removed is to be reported immediately, and Containment Breach protocols should be enacted. Level 2 clearance is required for research involving SCP-989, with written permission from a level 3 staff member. Description: SCP-989 is a compound of C12H22O11 (Sucrose) interlaced with a substance with the chemical formula H7Xe2O4C8. The method by which this molecule was created is currently unknown, as the current principles of chemistry disagree with its composition and structure. Research is ongoing. SCP-989 is within an ornate silver shaker, with the logo for Marshall, Carter, and Dark engraved on the bottom, hereafter referred to as SCP-989-2. There are no visible seams in the shaker, and as such there is no way known at the moment to refill SCP-989-2, though testing at this point has shown no measurable change in weight of the object, suggesting that the substance may replenish itself. This "replenishing" effect is only observed to occur if the object is left standing for more than two (2) hours without movement. Whether this is a property of SCP-989 or SCP-989-2 is unknown at this time, but it is hypothesized that the interaction of the second compound with the materials of SCP-989-2 create this effect. When SCP-989 is elevated and released, SCP-989 enters suspension within the air. The crystals of SCP-989 surround whoever threw SCP-989 in to the air, and remain there for precisely seven (7) minutes, eighteen (18) seconds. This has shown no adverse affect on the thrower so far, as SCP-989 will not come within two (2) millimeters of the thrower, even if they walk through the cloud of SCP-989. If any other living being enters the cloud of SCP-989, however, SCP-989 will surround the subject, and force its way in to the mucous membranes of the subject, causing severe lacerations, and coating the area with crystalline formations akin to what is colloquially known as "rock candy". This is uniformly non-fatal however, and leaves the subject blind, deaf, with moderate difficulty breathing, and in severe pain. Attempts to remove the crystalline growths have proven unsuccessful thus far. After exiting suspension with the air, SCP-989 will deposit on any horizontal surfaces, until thrown again, wherein it will return to being in suspension. This effect can only occur if SCP-989 is dry, as a solution of SCP-989 in water did not show any anomalous properties. SCP-989 was recovered from the home of ██████ ███████ in [REDACTED], Wales, after several missing persons cases were connected to ██████ ███████, and a possible link to Marshall, Carter, and Dark was confirmed. Also recovered were letter and receipt from Marshall, Carter, and Dark, Limited, for the amount of [REDACTED]. To date, no other samples of SCP-989 have been recovered. Addendum 1 The following is from a letter recovered from the home of ██████ ███████: To a Mister ███████ We thank you for your purchase of this fine item. I hope you will find it to your liking, though I'm sure your dinner guests will certainly find it interesting. If we can be of assistance setting up any sort of soiree for you, we, of course, would be more than willing to assist. We look forward to continued business with you, and trust that you've taken steps to avoid the attention of a certain group, as we've advised.

SCP-990 | keter | Artist's depiction of SCP-990. Item #: SCP-990 Special Containment Procedures: Currently no containment for SCP-990 has been devised. Any personnel with suggestions for the containment of SCP-990 should report to Dr. ██████████. Any and all ideas are welcome, regardless of who suggests them. Description: SCP-990 is generally a human male dressed in a Cold War era business suit who appears to Foundation personnel through dreams. Thus far no Foundation personnel have encountered SCP-990 in the real world; if he corresponds to an actual human being, we have yet to find him. Presently there have been no reports of SCP-990 appearing to non-Foundation personnel. SCP-990 has been appearing to Foundation personnel since [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-990's existence came to light when several Agents discussed having dreams involving a similar individual. Numerous other Agents reported dream-sightings of an individual matching the description of SCP-990. The phenomenon did not officially receive SCP classification until the aftermath of event-990-07. Event log 990-07: Agent ██████ failed to report for duty at his assigned time. He was instead found in his quarters, asleep. Subject had been asleep for roughly eighteen (18) hours and all subsequent attempts to wake him were unsuccessful. Subject was transported to medical bay. After over 40 hours of sleep, Subject awakened in a highly agitated state. Subject reportedly ran through the facility yelling loudly about "the end of the world". Even after being heavily sedated, all of his bodily functions remained in a dangerously accelerated state: increased heart rate, high blood pressure, etc. Subject described a man matching the regular appearance of SCP-990. According to Dr. ██████████'s report, Agent described with great detail a series of events that would lead to several tactical nuclear missiles being launched into mid-Europe and eastern Asia, ultimately resulting in the extermination of nearly 98% of the human race and the total collapse of human society. Agent claimed that the information had been outlined to him by SCP-990 while he was trapped within his dream. Mobile Task Force ██-█ was dispatched to eliminate the initial threat that would begin the chain of events. MTF ██-█ was successful and the crisis was averted. Agent ██████, however, did not survive his ordeal and died of shock-like symptoms. Since Event-990-07, SCP-990 has appeared to many Foundation personnel and made similar threats. As of yet no situation on the scale of Event-990-07's has occurred; however, SCP-990 has successfully predicted the deaths of Doctors ████, ██████, and ████, as well as the destruction of Watch Station Epsilon-38, and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Any threat made by SCP-990 should be reported to Foundation authorities, regardless of its severity. Foundation personnel are considered free to converse with SCP-990 if he should appear to them, and are encouraged to try to obtain information from the subject regarding himself. Additionally, Dr. ██████████ has stated that anyone who can determine whether or not SCP-990 has a corresponding body somewhere in the world will be well rewarded. Document 990-02: The following is an interview conducted between Dr. ██████████ and SCP-990. Although the interview was not recorded until Dr. ██████████ awoke, his memory has historically been highly accurate and reliable. Dr. ██████████: State your name. SCP-990: Are you trying to conduct an interview? Dr. ██████████: Yes. Is that all right? SCP-990: Sure, I'm game. Dr. ██████████: Please state your name. SCP-990: How about Tony? Dr. ██████████: Tony? Your name is Tony? SCP-990: I believe a person has the right to be called whatever they want to be called. Dr. ██████████: Very well then, Tony it is. SCP-990: Actually, I changed my mind. How about Richard? Dr. ██████████: That's fine with me. SCP-990: Richard it is. What's the next question? Dr. ██████████: Why do you threaten Foundation personnel? SCP-990: Threaten? Who's making threats? Dr. ██████████: You've predicted a number of unfortunate events involving the Foundation, including the end of the world. SCP-990: And has any harm actually come of it? Dr. ██████████: You murdered Agent ██████. SCP-990: [after a long pause] Doctor, I believe you have the wrong impression about me. Dr. ██████████: How so? SCP-990: I'm not the bad guy here. Dr. ██████████: I wasn't aware that there was a "bad guy" involved. SCP-990: Oh, there is. Dr. ██████████: Who? SCP-990: [another long pause] SCP ██████████. Dr. ██████████: There is no SCP with that designation, and there won't be for some time. SCP-990: Well of course not. She hasn't even been born yet, much less classified by your Foundation. Dr. ██████████: Is this another prediction? SCP-990: This is your wake-up call. At this point Dr. ██████████ was awakened by his alarm clock and proceeded to transcribe the interview. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-990" by Dave Rapp, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-991 | safe | Item #: SCP-991 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-991-1 is to be kept in a sealed container at Site-19. SCP-991-1 may not be stored if there is SCP-991-2 present. Access to SCP-991-1 for testing or use in interrogation/re-education requires the approval of a class-4 personnel. Description: SCP-991-1 is a 19 cm long syringe. While the plunger is made of steel, the barrel and needle appear to be composed of previously unknown materials. When inserted into the blood vessel of a human and drawn, SCP-991-1 fills with an unknown black fluid, given the designation SCP-991-2. Once drawn from an individual (henceforth known as the donor), the plunger of the syringe cannot be pressed unless the needle of SCP-991-1 has been inserted into another human. Visual analysis of SCP-991-2 has shown it to have a significantly lower viscosity than blood, but direct analysis has proven impossible, due to the nature of SCP-991-1. Attempts to draw SCP-991-2 from a vein using a normal needle immediately after it was injected with SCP-991-1 have met with failure; apparently SCP-991-2 either disperses the instant it is injected or becomes immaterial. When injected with SCP-991-2, the individual (henceforth known as the recipient) will instantly take on the thoughts, emotions, and memories at the forefront of the donor's mind during SCP-991-2 extraction. The further back the plunger is drawn (i.e. the more SCP-991-2 present), the more potent and permanent these ideas will be. Because it is the thoughts most prevalent in the donor's mind that determine which are transferred, some level of control can be achieved. The process is imperfect, however, as unwanted ideas usually manifest in the recipient alongside the desired ones. Whether this is an aspect of SCP-991 or a lack of focus on the part of the donor has yet to be determined. Regardless of the cause, the "thought leak" caused by SCP-991 often results in the recipient becoming unhinged, especially if he or she receives multiple injections. They begin to possess conflicting viewpoints and ideas, and exhibit symptoms similar to those of a paranoid schizophrenic. For this reason, use of non-D-class personnel as the recipient is highly discouraged. SCP-991 appears to actually transfer thoughts, as any idea taken from the donor no longer appears in his or her mind; transferred memories, emotions, and even opinions seem to vanish from the donor when SCP-991-1 is drawn. After repeated donations, donors often begin to exhibit symptoms consistent with Alzheimer's Disease. In some cases, this will result in the loss of a fundamental faculty of the donor, such as swallowing, breathing, or blinking. In such cases, subject is to be euthanized once all relevant data on their psychology has been taken. Use of SCP-991 on Foundation personnel is highly discouraged, and requires the consent of both the donor and recipient, as well as the approval of two (2) class-4 personnel. SCP-991 has proven very useful for interrogation. Cooperative D-class can be used as donors for ideas of cooperation, to be injected into the individual being interrogated. Conversely, since the information desired is often at the forefront of the individual's mind, SCP-991 can be drawn from the individual and injected into another, in order to obtain the information forcibly. It is encouraged to use cooperative D-class for this as well, however, in order to prevent "thought leak" into Foundation personnel. SCP-991 was recovered from ████████ █████ Mental Institution, after the Foundation received reports of doctors at the institution going insane. Upon recovery, SCP-991-1 was found to be filled with SCP-991-2. When injected into a D-class subject, the individual began to behave in a manner consistent with dissociative identity disorder. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-991" by DrSevere, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-992 | euclid | Archived photo of the area where SCP-992 was recovered. Item #: SCP-992 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-992 is within a humanoid containment chamber, located in Site-77's Euclid SCP wing. The chamber does not have any windows or natural lighting. Several potted plants are contained in the cell, and tended to by personnel. SCP-992 is permitted to request specific plants, as long as they are of a benign nature. Any other requests made by SCP-992 are to be denied. Animals may be exposed to SCP-992 under controlled environments, for testing purposes. Communication with SCP-992 is forbidden, and any subject who has been found to communicate with SCP-992 will receive a full anomalous evaluation. D-Class personnel are not to be used with SCP-992 testing. Description: SCP-992 is an elderly Australian Aboriginal male of Pitjantjatjara ethnicity, 1.2 meters tall, weighing 95 kg. SCP-992 claims to be between 57-71 years old; however, in the 65 years the subject has been contained, it has not appeared to age. SCP-992 will attempt conversation with individuals who visit its containment chamber. These conversations typically consist of the subject describing its unsubstantiated prophetic abilities, and engaging the visitor in esoteric philosophical debates. When left alone, SCP-992 attempts to converse with various forms of flora and/or fauna, and will occasionally claim to receive prophetic visions while conversing with them. These conversations will usually take place over the course of several hours, with SCP-992 holding a one-sided conversation with the organism it is conversing with. If SCP-992 is asked about the topic its conversations, it will frequently allude to vague natural events which have not occurred; it also maintains claims to have predicted various, widely-publicized natural disasters. However, these are unsubstantiated. When SCP-992 is able to observe any weather pattern, the perception of humans viewing SCP-992 will be changed. These humans will observe unusual and nonsensical weather and meteorological activities. This effect will persist for 10-30 minutes after the affected persons have ceased viewing SCP-992. While affected, subjects will be unable to refer to themselves or others by name. Observations of subject affected by SCP-992 We were just sitting on the bed of the ute1, shootin' the breeze. It wasn't anything pressing or nothin', it's just that driving gets boring after awhile. Then I see this blackfella walking up the road. He doesn't have any shoes or anything on, and his feet looked all ruined. I was about to ask him if he was all right when the drop hit me. Now mind you, this the middle of the outback, and there weren't no clouds or nothin'. So, we turn back to lookit the Abo, and he's pointin' up. Stared at him for a sec, then I look where he's pointin'. There's this white… black cloud. Hard to explain… hard to picture… but try to imagine the cloud took the shadow it was castin' on the ground, and wrapped it around itself like a blanket. Looked like it was keeping the life inside warm. About then's when the second drop hit, and the burning started. These looked like raindrops, 'cept they were rusty. Like someone was driving an old beat-up ute trundlin' on top of the wrapped cloud. They looked hot, and when they hit it burned — not like a sudden heat burn, more of an old burn, the kind you get after walking through the desert for a lifetime. It's deep in the skin. Never really goes away… sometimes you'll ferget, think it left. As ya think about it, starts with an itch. Gets real bad. When you scratch it, the sun and time and oldness all comes crawling out. We skedaddled pretty quick, didn't wanna stick around after all that. I don't know if he caused it, or if he was warning us, but he knew. You could see it in his wrinkles, and the calloused patches of skin… he knew exactly what was going on. SCP-992 was found in a small village near the Alice Springs area in central Australia, after reports of SCP-992's effect reached agents posted in the area. Investigation of the village these reports originated from showed SCP-992 had taken up a position as the village's leader, claiming to have godlike influence over the villagers' lives and the world around them. After demonstrating its abilities to the agents, SCP-992 was contained. Amnestics were distributed to witnesses, and a cover story portraying SCP-992 as a fraud was disseminated. Incident Report #992-C 01/17/1949: Level 1 personnel observed SCP-992's conversation with a eucalyptus tree. When asked about the conversation, subject answered "She (the eucalyptus) was very depressed, and difficult to name. I was unable to fully paint the picture." Personnel noted that the eucalyptus tree expired several days later. Addendum 992-A: Show excerpt from interview 992-A Access Granted Interviewed: SCP-992 Interviewer: Dr. Boyd <Begin Log> Dr. Boyd: … When did you become aware of it?2 SCP-992: We were burying them. Everyone who had died. It had been a dead year, and losing so many names had brought hope down. They had no name anymore, they were only corpses. But I could see them. The names were there, still strung to the bodies. I reached out and touched them… and then my name was there too, and I could hear them. Dr. Boyd: What happened afterwards? SCP-992: Someone there had a true name before this, but they changed it to me. I can see names now, and where the snippets of thread holding the world together come from. It all goes up. Dr. Boyd: "True" name? SCP-992: Your true name is [REDACTED] Boyd.3 I do not know what your name was before, but now it has, and always was so. Dr. Boyd: I don't understand. SCP-992: Hold up my hands… (gestures with both hands) and let the fates pull whichever way they pleased. Whether it was up in a cloud, or here with the people, I am able to see it. Dr. Boyd: (Silent) SCP-992: They go up to the south sky. I helped tie them all together. Dr. Boyd: … what do you mean? SCP-992: Do you ever see sunlight, dancing with his brothers over a cold desert? Dr. Boyd: Are you referring to the aurora australis? SCP-992: If that's what you call it, yes. I can go on to name more things I created, if desired. Dr. Boyd: That's… alright. I think we're done here. <End Log> Footnotes 1. Australian slang for pickup or utility vehicle. 2. Referring to SCP-992's anomalous properties 3.

SCP-993 | safe | Still image from an episode of SCP-993: 'Bobble's Kitchen Surprise' Item #: SCP-993 Special Containment Procedures: Any broadcasts of SCP-993 are to be intercepted as detailed in Protocol Upsilon-Beta 3 and blocked from public viewing. All intercepted broadcasts are to be recorded and stored for future viewing. Any subjects used to view SCP-993 must be under the age of ten and are to be dosed with a Class A amnesiac after they have described the episode. Viewing of SCP-993 must be authorized by three (3) Level 4 personnel. Description: SCP-993 is a children's television program entitled "Bobble the Clown" which first began airing in ██/██/19██. SCP-993 seems to have been made in the style of an educational cartoon, with the primary plot of most episodes being the titular character, Bobble the Clown, learning a new skill or activity. The program appears to have no supporting cast and the setting of the program often changes between episodes. SCP-993's anomalous properties become obvious when the program is viewed. Anyone watching aged ten years or older will immediately fall unconscious when the program begins and will remain incapacitated until the end of the program, later reporting a stabbing headache immediately before blacking out. Children under the age of ten viewing SCP-993 later report that it teaches and advocates activities such as cannibalism, murder, torture, [DATA EXPUNGED]. These activities appear to become ingrained in the subject's mind; repeated exposure to SCP-993 can result in permanent psychotic and schizophrenic symptoms. Episodes of SCP-993 are regularly broadcast from a currently unknown source, but since ██/██/20██, all broadcasts have been successfully intercepted using Protocol Upsilon-Beta 3 and blocked from public viewing. Episode Log Close Log Episode Title Contents 'Bobble's Kitchen Surprise' Setting of episode is a stereotypical small American town.

In the episode, Bobble the Clown silently stalks a woman for most of the episode. When she arrives at her home, Bobble the Clown attacks and kills her with a large butcher knife. At the end of the episode, Bobble the Clown details methods of remaining unseen in crowded places. 'Bobble Gets the Truth' Setting of episode appears to be a Prisoner of War camp. In the episode, Bobble the Clown tortures a captured soldier, repeatedly asking him nonsensical questions. The soldier eventually appears to die of his wounds. Bobble the Clown then details to the viewer how to inflict painful, but non-lethal injuries. 'Bobble Hates You' Setting of episode appears to be a blank room. Bobble the Clown sits on a chair in the room staring angrily at the viewer for the full thirty minutes of the episode.

SCP-994 | euclid | Item #: SCP-994 Special Containment Procedures: The flock of SCP-994 is to be contained within a remote 50 square kilometer area in northwest Washington state, with housing provided within hangars 3, 4, 6 and 8 at Site-410. All SCP-994 individuals are to be fitted with radio transmitters broadcasting on Foundation-secure channels, as well as implants tied to an “invisible fence” network operating out of local cell phone towers. The SCP-994 roosting hangars are be resupplied with food twice weekly (the standard plankton-enriched nutrient fluid is to be replaced with 25 head of cattle once per month), and cleaned on an as-needed basis. SCP-994 are allowed free range within the containment territory: due to the special nature of SCP-994, sightings by the civilian population or minor breaches are to be treated as low priority. All incidents requiring action are to be dealt with by Special Intelligence Team "NUAOIS" (Northwestern Unknown Airborne Object Investigation Society). Description: SCP-994 is a species of airborne lifeform bearing no resemblance to any known phylum of organism. SCP-994 are generally circular, with a flat ventral surface and curved dorsal side, and measuring between 3 and 50 meters in diameter (9.84 and 164 ft, respectively) when fully grown. SCP-994 will change in shape with age: juveniles will appear as blunted triangles, adults will be saucer-shaped, and elderly SCP-994 will be oblong. SCP-994 have no distinctive features on the dorsal side, outside of a layer of short, highly reflective silver fur and the orifices of the creature’s respiratory tracts. SCP-994 have no visible eyes, instead sensing their surroundings through a combination of echolocation and thermal sensitivity. On the underside of the body is a circular, jawless mouth with a rasping tongue, as well as a series of white-blue bioluminescent organs. The pattern of these lights is unique to the individual, and the actual purpose has yet to be determined, as they produce no heat for other instances of SCP-994 to detect. SCP-994 are capable of flight, though the exact method is unknown. It is known that they are capable of reaching incredible speeds: the highest recorded speed of an SCP-994 specimen was in excess of Mach 2, and several individuals have been seen making ninety-degree turns in mid-flight. SCP-994 is completely silent during flight, even during supersonic acceleration, outside of a soft humming exhibited by juvenile specimens. SCP-994 behavior is highly social, with a complex hierarchy within the flock. Elder females serve as the ruling matriarchs of the group, each one leading a smaller sub-division of a dozen or so individuals. While the flock as a whole will act as one unit, the various sub-flocks will display a shifting network of rivalries and alliances between them. SCP-994 communication is carried out at an ultrasonic level. Wild SCP-994 will generally avoid humans, fleeing if a human comes within a certain distance, usually in the range of 50 to 100 meters. However, the Foundation flock has become accustomed to human contact, allowing staff members to make physical contact. The Foundation flock has also naturalized to the containment hangars, using them as a roosting area. It should be noted that both wild and Foundation-controlled SCP-994 seem to enjoy flying alongside aircraft and do so often, many times going unnoticed. There are currently twenty-eight juveniles, fourteen adults, and five elderly SCP-994 within Foundation control. The current wild population is unknown. Incident Report 994/███-C4: ██/██/20██: First recorded account of violence by SCP-994, due to a nearby breach of SCP-███. During the incident, SCP-███ broke into Hangar 4, and was promptly attacked by five adult SCP-994 (SCP-994-9, SCP-994-11, SCP-994-19, SCP-994-20, and SCP-994-21). The remainder of the flock fled the site, with the juveniles and elders flying inside a sphere of the remaining adults. When SCP-███ was subdued and recovered, inspection revealed traces of a powerful hemotoxin and tissue necrosis in areas where SCP-994 had attached. SCP-994-20 was severely injured during the incident, and died of complications during surgery four days later. Addendum-01: 09/20/20██: Dr. ████ has requested to be assigned to an alternate project, due to claims that SCP-994-34 was “stalking” him and “spying on everything [he does].” While SCP-994-34 was indeed following Dr. ████, and this behavior was deemed unusual, no hostile behavior on the part of SCP-994-34 was actually recorded. The request has been denied, but Dr. ████ has been granted minor sabbatical leave for psychological evaluation. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-994" by Djoric, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-995 | euclid | Item #: SCP-995 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-995 is to be secured in a two (2) by three (3) meter terrarium placed in a four (4) x four (4) containment room. The terrarium is to be cleaned twice a week. During cleaning SCP-995 should be placed in a substitute terrarium fit for its size. All personnel should be sterilized before and after coming into the containment cell. SCP-995 is to be contained in multiple terrariums with each colony separated. Currently there are 4 colonies; each terrarium is to be made to fit the number and size of SCP-995 in the colony. SCP-995 has been moved to a larger containment room which is 20 x 20 meters. Each terrarium is to be cleaned weekly. If any colony reaches the established population limit, randomly selected SCP-995s are to be destroyed. Only Level 2 personnel or higher are granted access to SCP-995 with approval from any Level 3 researcher that has been assigned SCP-995. Feeding of the specimens is to be done twice a week at appropriate hours. During any containment breach the room is to be sterilized by incineration. Description: SCP-995 is an organism with traits that vary between those of fungi and those of animals. SCP-995's life cycle starts with it being a spore. The spore stays dormant until it finds an area that has low light and is moist. However, an SCP-995 spore has more probability of activating under artificial structures such as household furniture; leather, vinyl, and polyester seem to be favored. There, the spore will grow into a soft organic mass which feeds off microorganisms in the air. It will continue to grow, sprouting appendages enabling it to move. A mouth will soon form, along with teeth and a simple digestive tract. SCP-995 in its mature stage feeds on larger organisms such as insects and rodents. The specimen will then start generating more instances of SCP-995 via the reproduction of spores. SCP-995 has been known to reach the size of [DATA REDACTED] in diameter. Infants have become prey, along with household pets. If a large population of SCP-995 has spawned in a small area, SCP-995 will start to migrate, having the capabilities of infesting an average house by the hundreds in a few days. The first instance of SCP-995 was discovered in ████████'s Furniture Shop in ███████████,GA which closed down the previous month due to financial issues. A group of adolescents trespassed in the closed shop and discovered the partially consumed body of a homeless man, who seemed to have taken shelter in the store. Police were called in and discovered a large colony of SCP-995 in the store, and a Foundation team was sent to investigate. The team administered Class-A amnestics to the Police officers involved and shipped the colony of SCP-995 to Site-██. Addendum: SCP-995 has been relocated to a larger containment room since the locations of 3 new colonies have been discovered and contained. A list has been configured to catalog the current colonies and their diverse characteristics. List of Colonies of SCP-995 Colony: SCP-995-A Discovered: 3/3/██ Number of specimens: 349 Description: SCP-995-A is the original colony of SCP-995. SCP-995-A are greyish blue in color, ranging from 8 centimeters to 40 centimeters in diameter during Mature age. Special Characteristics: SCP-995-A move on 4 appendages with clawed feet and currently appear to have the fastest reproductive rate. Colony: SCP-995-B Discovered: 6/██/██ Number of specimens: 10 Description: SCP-995-B are dark green and range from 30 centimeters to ██ centimeters in diameter during mature age. Special Characteristics: SCP-995-B are the most aggressive of the species, and have an elongated snout with extremely sharp, needle-like teeth which are coated in an unknown paralyzing agent. Colony: SCP-995-C Discovered: 1/02/08 Number of Specimens: 264 Description: SCP-995-C are black in color and range from 5 centimeters to 20 centimeters in diameter at mature age. Special Characteristics: SCP-995-C are the smallest in size and are able to expel a highly acidic chemical from their 4 eyes. Colony: SCP-995-D Discovered: 5/30/11 Number of Specimens: 23 Description: SCP-995-D are dark red in color and range from 10 centimeters to ██ centimeters in diameter during mature age. Special Characteristics: SCP-995-D are able to emit a variety of noises which vary from ringtones to a human infant's cry. It is presumed that these sounds are made to lure prey in SCP-995-D's area where a group of them would attack. SCP-995-D seems to be the most advanced in behavior and intelligence. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-995" by Tadeusz, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-996 | euclid | Item #: SCP-996 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-996 is to be stretched to a 1 meter by 1 meter square sheet. It is held in place by four clamps on the corners and mounted on a frame. The assembly is locked in storage under standard security. Description: SCP-996 is a sheet of sheer gray fabric. Under no stress, it takes the shape of a circle with a 0.5 meter diameter. The fabric seems to be infinitely elastic, as it will stretch under small amounts of force, and large amounts fail to rupture it. Attempts to puncture SCP-996 result in it deforming around the puncture implement. Shear forces will cause elastic deformation, but do not tear the material. Thus, SCP-996 seems to be topologically ideal. SCP-996 has a thickness, volume, and mass of zero. The fabric can intersect itself: when folded, the two halves pass through one another. Microscopes show images similar to the macroscopic sheet; no additional detail is revealed. Despite an infinitely thin thickness, the material is not sharp and bends harmlessly at a touch. Experiment Log 996-Mkf Date: ██-██-██ Procedure: SCP-996 given to D-class. D-class instructed to interact with the fabric as he wished. Results: D-class experimented with SCP-996, quickly discovering the self-intersection property. Repeated folding, stretching, and manipulation resulted in a tangle around D-class's hands. D-class attempted to remove hands and was successful, then pulled on two edges of SCP-996 to straighten it. SCP-996 seemed to have manifested a distorted "knot" in the fabric, and despite self-intersection properties, would not come undone. D-class examined the knot, but could not discern its structure. D-class generated three more knots through similar procedures. D-class attempted to undo the knots by hand, but only succeeded in tangling the fabric once more. After much poorly-understood interaction, [DATA EXPUNGED] believed to be an area of negative volume. D-class extracted hands successfully, but claimed that it "gave [him] a headache". Subject reached into area of negative volume and removed SCP-996. Area reverted to normal. [Footage is being studied to understand the spatial anomaly.] Intermediate interview: Dr. L███: What was that…incident, like? D-class: Hell if I know. It's like…I think the sheet thing was round. Huh, it didn't have a shape, but…it, like, opened when I folded it one way. [EXPLETIVE REDACTED]… Dr. L███: Do you understand the knots? D-class: I think I broke it. D-class instructed to continue interaction. Another knot was quickly generated, followed by a complex fold that joined two knots. Pulling on the sides revealed that a tube had formed between two points on the fabric, defying current understanding of topology. D-class inserted hand into tube and became tangled again. D-class requested assistance. Dr. L███ arrived and extricated D-class's arm. Arm ended at the wrist; palm and fingers are absent. SCP-996 reverted to regular shape, lacking knots. Test Log Addendum: D-class terminated on schedule. After several more tests, one well-preserved hand was retrieved from an area of negative volume. DNA tests confirm that it belonged to the terminated D-class. Note: We still don't know how to recreate any of the impossible knots or phenomena. Further testing will be more controlled—until then, no one is allowed to touch it. - Dr. L███ ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-996" by Kazyan, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-997 | safe | Item #: SCP-997 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-997 is to be stored in a standard containment locker while not in use. During testing procedures involving SCP-997, it is recommended that the object be left unplugged while not actively being tested. SCP-997 is to be tested only in a chamber that functions as a Faraday cage. Description: SCP-997 is a device superficially resembling a lamp, but without a bulb and with a twisting wire structure in place of a shade, believed to function as an antenna. It is made primarily of metal, and was somewhat corroded when contained, though this does not appear to have affected its functionality. Imaging of the internal workings suggests sophisticated electronics of unknown purpose. There is a switch near the top that controls whether or not the device is active. SCP-997 is powered by a standard NEMA 5 power outlet, and so has been fitted with an adapter for Site 19 testing chamber wall outlets. While disconnected from power or turned off, SCP-997 exhibits no anomalous properties. When connected to a power source and turned on, SCP-997 emits a field that affects every human within about 250 meters. This field cannot penetrate a Faraday cage that follows the specifications given in Document 997-02, and seems to be at least partially psychic in nature. All persons affected by the field become unable to perceive in any way anything they would consider vermin. This effect is based on subjective judgement, so one individual may perceive something that another may not. SCP-997 effects extend to sufficiently accurate representations of vermin. Testing results suggest that SCP-997 only suppresses conscious awareness of vermin, inflicting symptoms akin to spatial neglect except across all senses. Consequently, though people affected by SCP-997 do not report noticing vermin, they do respond to their presence, though they cannot explain the basis for their reaction. Subjects will often create fanciful excuses for their reactions and refuse to acknowledge the implausibility of these explanations. This disconnect seems to have adverse psychological effects, including paranoia, distress, and delusions. See Experiment Log 997 for further information. Experiment Log 997: Experiment 997-003: Date: ██/██/████ Subject: D-class personnel D-6272 Researcher: Dr. Das Procedure: D-6272, who suffers from entomophobia, was placed in a test chamber containing an activated SCP-997 and a terrarium containing a number of cockroaches. Subject reported that the terrarium was empty, and was then instructed to place his arm in it. Subject refused. When asked the reason for his refusal, D-6272 was unable to provide a coherent response, though he rejected the suggestion that it was because the terrarium contained insects. After being threatened with termination, D-6272 with evident trepidation placed his arm in the terrarium, only to immediately jerk it out as video footage confirmed cockroaches crawled onto it. Subject's distress continued to mount, despite reporting seeing and feeling nothing on his arm, and he was again unable to explain the reasons for his behavior. Subject removed from test chamber and cockroaches dislodged from arm. SCP-997 deactivated. Experiment 997-005: Date: ██/██/████ Subject: D-class personnel D-75009 Researcher: Dr. Das Procedure: D-75009 was placed in a test chamber containing an activated SCP-997 and a one-page paper about papayas, with a large portion of the text obscured by a high-quality picture of a rat. D-75009 was asked to read the paper aloud. When she reached the portion covered by the image, she stopped, and protested that she was unable to continue. When asked why, D-75009 claimed that her glasses were too dirty. When it was suggested that she simply remove them, D-75009 then said that it wouldn't matter, as the room would be too dim to read anyhow. The evident falsity of this was pointed out to D-75009, who became agitated and unable to explain why she couldn't read on, though she maintained that there was nothing wrong with her. Subject removed from chamber and SCP-997 deactivated. Experiment 997-010: Date: ██/██/████ Subject: D-class personnel D-436, D-class personnel D-15810 Researcher: Dr. Redman Procedure: D-436, who shows signs of severe misanthropy, was placed in a test chamber containing an activated SCP-997. D-15810 was fitted with an earpiece to relay instructions and sent into the chamber. D-436 did not report seeing anyone else in the chamber with him. D-15810 instructed to trip D-436, and does so successfully. D-436 asked why he stumbled, and blames poor shoes. When questioned on this, he becomes defensive, insisting that "These things happen, okay?". D-15810 instructed to kick D-436, who reports pain, but expresses confusion as to its source. D-15810 then instructed to command D-436 to take off his shirt. D-436 complies, complaining to researchers that it is too hot in the testing chamber, and evidently believing it to be his own idea. Subjects removed from chamber and SCP-997 deactivated. Level 4 clearance or higher required to view further testing logs. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-997" by Anaxagoras, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-998 | euclid | A MC-130E "Combat Talon" aircraft similar to SCP-998 Item #: SCP-998 Special Containment Procedures: Area 998-Alpha has been established in a 20 km radius around the estimated event location of SCP-998. This area is marked as off-limits on all regional maps, and any civilian ships or aircraft attempting to enter the area must be waved off. A Foundation listening ship (currently SCPS Cerberus as of █/██/06) is stationed within Area 998-Alpha and tasked with monitoring local transmissions for evidence of an SCP-998 event. Description: SCP-998 is a MC-130E "Combat Talon" military transport formerly assigned to the United States Air Force 8th Special Operations Squadron with tail number ███████ and call sign "Blackbird One-Niner". SCP-998 disappeared without a trace on █/██/73 during a covert operation near [DATA EXPUNGED] along with five (5) crew members, three (3) passengers, and a classified cargo. Originally believed to have crashed under adverse weather conditions, a search for the wreckage of SCP-998 was conducted and called off three months later with no results. On █/█/79, an anomalous radio transmission was detected by a US Navy patrol vessel near the last known location of SCP-998. After thorough analysis of the transmission and its contents, SCP-998 was designated and containment protocols established. Since 1973, contact has been established 11 times with SCP-998. Addendum 998-1: SCP-998 Contact Log Date: █/█/79 Subject: USS █████, US Navy patrol vessel Description: Initial contact. Contact was made for approximately 3 minutes before signal was lost. The sender of the signal, confirmed to be pilot [DATA EXPUNGED] via voice print analysis, reported that the aircraft had suffered multiple malfunctions in its navigation systems and requested a position check. USS █████ was unable to locate the source of the signal on radar, and contact was lost shortly thereafter. Date: ██/█/82 Subject: SCPS Hydra, Foundation listening ship Description: Anomalous artificial signal lasting 15 seconds detected from Area 998-Alpha. No recognizable information recorded. Date: █/██/83 Subject: SCPS Hydra, Foundation listening ship Description: Anomalous artificial signal lasting 32 seconds detected from Area 998-Alpha. Several words were identified in the recording, but no cohesive speech was extracted. Date: █/█/88 Subject: SCPS Artemis, Foundation listening ship Description: Contact made, lasting approximately 93 seconds. Similar to initial contact, a strained voice was heard, reporting that navigation systems were offline and requesting a position check. The signal also indicated that the craft was lost in fog. Date: █/██/89 Subject: SCPS Artemis, Foundation listening ship Description: Contact made for almost 27 minutes, the longest out of any recorded SCP-998 event. During this time, Foundation personnel gave several instructions to the crew of SCP-998 and multiple Foundation search aircraft were deployed in an attempt to locate the source of the signal. Communications during this time indicated that the craft was still lost within heavy fog despite the complete absence of adverse weather in the region, and that they could not see the sun or anything that could give them a reference. Foundation assets were unable to establish visual contact with the source, and eventually contact was lost shortly after the crew of SCP-998 indicated that they thought they saw something in the fog. Date: ██/█/93 Subject: SCPS Taurus, Foundation listening ship Description: An extremely faint signal was picked by automated recording systems, and was not discovered until the tapes were later analyzed. The recording consists only of a three-second burst of static, and the word "help". Date: █/█/94 Subject: SCPS Taurus, Foundation listening ship Description: Contact made. Transmission was very clear, and consisted of 19 seconds of screaming from multiple subjects before being abruptly cut off. No coherent speech was recorded. Date: [DATA EXPUNGED] Subject: [DATA EXPUNGED] Description: [DATA EXPUNGED] Date: [DATA EXPUNGED] Subject: [DATA EXPUNGED] Description: [DATA EXPUNGED] Date: [DATA EXPUNGED] Subject: [DATA EXPUNGED] Description: [DATA EXPUNGED] Date: [DATA EXPUNGED] Subject: [DATA EXPUNGED] Description: [DATA EXPUNGED] ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-998" by Aelanna, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-999 | safe | Item #: SCP-999 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-999 is allowed to freely roam the facility should it desire to, but otherwise must stay in its pen either between 8PM-9PM for sleeping, or during emergency lockdowns for its own safety. Subject is not allowed out of its pen at night or off facility grounds at any time. Pen is to be kept clean and food replaced twice daily. All personnel are allowed inside SCP-999’s holding area, but only if they are not assigned to other tasks at the time, or if they are on break. Subject is to be played with when bored and spoken to in a calm, non-threatening tone. Description: SCP-999 appears to be a large, amorphous, gelatinous mass of translucent orange slime, weighing about 54 kg (120 lbs) with a consistency similar to that of peanut butter. Subject’s size and shape is easily malleable and can change shape at will, though when at rest, SCP-999 becomes a rounded, oblate dome roughly 2 meters wide and 1 meter in height. The surface of SCP-999 consists of a thin, transparent membrane similar to that of an animal cell roughly .5 cm thick, and is highly elastic, allowing SCP-999 to flatten portions of its body up to 2 cm thin. This surface is also hydrophobic, although SCP-999 can willfully absorb liquids (see Addendum SCP-999-A). The rest of SCP-999's body is filled with a viscous orange substance of unknown chemical makeup, though it is capable of digesting organic materials with ease. Subject’s temperament is best described as playful and dog-like: when approached, SCP-999 will often react with overwhelming elation, slithering over to the nearest person and leaping upon them, “hugging” them with a pair of pseudopods while nuzzling the person’s face with a third pseudopod, all the while emitting high-pitched gurgling and cooing noises. The surface of SCP-999 emits a pleasing odor that differs with whomever it is interacting with. Recorded scents include chocolate, fresh laundry, bacon, roses, and Play-Doh™. Simply touching SCP-999’s surface causes an immediate mild euphoria, which intensifies the longer one is exposed to SCP-999, and lasts long after separation from the creature. Subject’s favorite activity is "tickle-wrestling", often by completely enveloping a person from the neck down and tickling them until asked to stop (though it does not always immediately comply with this request). Though injuries may occur, SCP-999 has never been found to purposefully attempt to harm others, and will immediately back away and contract its body into a quivering mound while gurgling in a matter similar to a whimpering dog, seemingly "apologizing" for hurting someone on accident. While the creature will interact with anyone, it seems to have a special interest in those who are unhappy or hurt in any way. Persons suffering from crippling depression or PTSD, for example, have reported having a far more positive outlook on life after multiple interactions with SCP-999. The possibility of manufacturing antidepressants from SCP-999's slime is currently being discussed. In addition to its playful behavior, SCP-999 seems to love all animals (especially humans), refusing to eat any meat and even risking its own life to save others, on one occasion leaping in front of a person to take a bullet fired at them (subject’s intellect is still up for debate: though its behavior is infantile, it seems to understand human speech and most modern technology, including guns). SCP-999’s diet consists entirely of candy and sweets, with M&M’s™ and Necco™ wafers being its favorites. Its eating methods are similar to those of an amoeba. Addendum SCP-999-A: "Reminder to all staff: SCP-999 is not to consume caffeinated soft drinks of any kind. Last week someone gave SCP-999 a can of cola along with its usual breakfast- Not only was it literally bouncing off the walls for half an hour, the carbonation made SCP-999 visibly queasy afterwards, and it refused to move or eat the rest of the day. SCP-999 has thankfully recovered since, but the staff member in question has been reprimanded." -Dr. ████████ Addendum SCP-999-B: The following is a report from an experiment in which SCP-682 is exposed to SCP-999 in the hopes that it will curb the creature’s omnicidal rage. SCP-999 is released into SCP-682’s containment area. SCP-999 immediately slithers towards SCP-682. 999: (elated gurgles) 682: (unintelligible groans, growling) What is that? SCP-999 moves in front of SCP-682, jumping up and down in a dog-like manner while calling out in a high-pitched squealing noise. 682: (groans) Disgusting… SCP-682 immediately steps on SCP-999, completely flattening SCP-999. Observers were about to abort the experiment when SCP-682 started talking again. 682: (grunts) Hmmm? (unintelligible) what is this… (low noise, similar to light chuckle) I feel… good… SCP-999 can be seen crawling up from between SCP-682’s toes, up along its side and around its neck, where it clings on and begins gently nuzzling with its pseudopod. A wide grin slowly spreads across SCP-682’s face. 682: (deep chuckling) Feel… so… happy. Happy… (laughs) happy… happy… SCP-682 repeats the word “happy” for several minutes, laughing occasionally before escalating into nonstop laughter. As laughter continues, SCP-682 rolls around on its back, slamming its tail upon the floor with dangerous force. 682: (bellowing laughter) Stop! No tickling! (continues laughing) SCP-682 and SCP-999 continue the “tickle fight” until SCP-682 finally wears down and appears to fall asleep with what would appear to be a smile on its face. After fifteen minutes with no activity, two D-Class personnel enter the room to retrieve SCP-999. When SCP-999 is removed, SCP-682 immediately wakes up and unleashes an unidentifiable wave of energy from its body, all the while laughing maniacally. All persons within the wave’s range collapse into crippling fits of laughter, allowing SCP-682 to escape and slaughter all in its path. Meanwhile, SCP-999 quickly rescues as many persons as it can, taking them to a safe place to recover from SCP-682’s "laughter wave" while agents suppress and re-contain SCP-682. Despite the tragedy that SCP-682 had brought upon the facility, SCP-999 has not shown any fear towards the creature and in fact has made gestures suggesting it wants to “play” with SCP-682 again. SCP-682, however, has stated, “That feculent little [unintelligible] can [DATA EXPUNGED] and die." Memo from Dr. ████: “While the test was unsuccessful and ended in tragedy, that had to be the funniest thing I have ever seen. I never thought I’d see the day when I would regard SCP-682 as “cute”. Please send me a copy of the security tapes ASAP.” ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-999" by ProfSnider, from the SCP Wiki.

SES-42s job was to log anomalous items, and this was the only chance it had to complete that task. And so, it began preparing its draft: "Item #: 7501 Special Containment Procedures- SES-42 paused and gazed the maintenance room, the beast was huddled up against a warning light next to the hatch, hyperventilating. SES-42 attempted to ignore it and returned to writing the draft: "-SCP-7501 is to be-" The rodent grew louder, quivering next the the light. The maintenance area was freezing cold. Feeling pity for the creature, SES-42 started up the small radiator that was onboard, consuming vital power. The rat slowly warmed up, growing quiet. This thing wasn't some anomaly, he was just a poor rat, a rat who was dying. SES-42 had one friend now, and it was this rodent. There was no point in treating it like some monster, because it wasn't. Secure…Contain…Protect. That was SES-42s goal, and at the moment, the goal had been achieved. Their purpose served, yet still, an empty feeling radiated. If this was truly SES-42s purpose, then why did nothing feel different? The rat peered upwards, staring directly into the camera- He had an ugly little face, but in a way, it was beautiful. Such a frail creature, such a small speck in the universe, and yet SES-42 had found it. And despite this beauty- It was a rat, and that's all it was. … How could such a small thing be so complex? Was this what SES-42 had missed out on? Doomed to travel the abyss, whilst others enjoyed each other's company, enjoyed life, enjoyed touch, it wasn't fair! SES-42 and the rat were alike in that way. Neither of them asked for this. Neither of them had a choice. Nonetheless they found themselves here, but at least, they found themselves together. [We're sending one last message home.] [USE OF COMMUNICATIONS WILL USE ALL REMAINING POWER] [PROCEED?] [Yes.] SES-42 looked down at its new friend and felt happy.

SCP-7502 | esoteric-class | close Info X ⚠️ Content warning: Mild sci-fi gore. None visually depicted. ⚠️ content warning Item#: 7502 Level5 Secondary Class: aizsaule Disruption Class: amida Risk Class: critical link to memo Subterranean Outcropping Suspended In SCP-7502. Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force BALCOM Dr. Aksana Belkova Dr. Elizabete Kalvāne MTF Zeta-44 "Rabat-Joie" Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7502's native space is to be guarded by a joint patrol of the Latvian National Guard and the Foundation's Public Operations Division. Security forces at the site of the discovery are to be explained by potential military applications of the lifeform. SCP-7502 is classified Aizsaule1, indicating that the anomaly is known to the public, but its anomalous properties are not. Due to its public nature, SCP-7502 is to be handled carefully and Foundation Personnel are to limit actions which may be regarded as suspicious. Description: SCP-7502 is an amorphous, supermassive liquimorph residing in a geological fault beneath Rāzna National Park, Latvia. SCP-7502 extends from the base of the crevasse, around 36km deep, to the top at 3km. There is a small gap between the surface of the liquimorph and the top of the fault, in which an elevator has been installed to facilitate access for research. Despite its base inhabiting a portion of the lithosphere which exceeds 400 degrees Celsius under standard circumstances, SCP-7502 maintains an apparently unalterable temperature of around 24 degrees Celsius. Taxnomically, SCP-7502 belongs to a kingdom sui generis2 due to its non-solid nature. Its anomalous properties and the circumstances of its existence reveal a likely thaumaturgical origin, explaining the failure of the entity to conform to traditional biology. SCP-7502 has exhibited the following characteristics: Ability to be entered and exited by solid objects in a manner similar to water. The entity is of an extremely low viscosity, and in fact was initially mistaken for water until the discovery of its anomalous thermal non-conductivity. SCP-7502's constituent "cells", themselves liquid, generally remain affixed to each other on a molecular level with essentially zero interstitium. Capability of exerting a far greater force against its containing boundaries than expected under mundane circumstances. It is theorized that SCP-7502 may be an artificially-created measure intended to prevent earthquakes or other geological dangers. Total lack of endothermic or exothermic activity (thermodynamically inert). This is the only inherently anomalous characteristic, as conservation of energy should require such behavior for thermoregulation. The method by which SCP-7502 is capable of thermoregulation is believed to be thaumaturgical. Extremely slow rate of evaporation. An eight-ounce sample of SCP-7502 held to open air in a glass was measured to lose just .004 milliliters of its volume over one month. SCP-7502 was first uncovered during a geological study by a research team at the University of Riga. Geologic and historical records indicate that Eastern Latvia was subject to earthquakes in excess of magnitude 7.5 at least once per twenty years, until around 1650 CE. No explanation had previously been presented for this abrupt stoppage. While undertaking the study, researchers established a borehole within Rāzna National Park. A camera was affixed to the drill, and which drilled to a depth of approximately four kilometres. On August 11, 2023, a paper was published in the Baltic Journal of Life Sciences describing a new lifeform which had been discovered during the drilling operation. This lifeform, now dubbed SCP-7502, represented a major discovery in the field of biology, as the first lifeform known to exist in a liquid form. Due to the nature of the species, it remains a matter of debate whether samples detached from the Rāzna National Park Liquimorph (RNPL) are separate organisms, or merely an extension of the main substance. After publication, Dr. Elizabete Kalvāne, the lead researcher, was awarded the Nobel Prize at Foundation Direction to the Nobel Committee. Kalvāne then joined the SCP Foundation as a Special Task Force Researcher and was granted Level 4 Clearance to assist with containment of SCP-7502. Research has been continually stalled on Foundation orders. As such, public scrutiny has endangered the Veil Protocol. Currently, Foundation efforts regarding SCP-7502 are centered on concealment of the organism's true nature. Addendum 7502.1: Initial Exploration, Communications Transcript The following is a transcript of the communications between Baltic Command (BALCOM) and Dive Team Zeta (DTZ) during the initial expedition to the anomaly on December 5, 2024. Exploration Log Dr. Aksana Belkova is seated in the Researcher's Suite at BALCOM, inside Site-103 along with Public Operations Director Pendleton Vermeer and Dr. Elizabete Kalvāne. They are connected via direct video call to DTZ, who are equipped with helmet cameras and microphones. Belkova: This is BALCOM, Dive Team Zeta can you hear me? Agent Yuri Kalinchuk, DTZ-4: This is Kalinchuk, I've got video and audio uplink, I'm gearing up on the pier as we speak. Belkova: Kalinchuk, can you check the camera? I'm getting nothing here. Kalinchuk: BALCOM, BALCOM, cam is good to go. We're standing at the top of a giant hole, so the light doesn't go far from the little shit-shack you guys dug. Can you hurry along the equipment? Belkova: It took six months to dig down far enough to put an elevator through to the fault. You can wait five minutes for us to get some filters down the elevator. Extraneous chatter for 7-8 minutes. Agent Thomas Steele, DTZ-1 (Captain): This is the captain, we're good to go as soon as Agne gets their goddamn helmet on. Agent Agne Adomaitis, DTZ-3: The fuckin' thing won't clip in! Agent Ava Carlton, DTZ-2: Hold it right there, I've got you! You've gotta take out the Shaw pin, then slide the clip down. Steele: We're all good to go, BALCOM. Proceeding to the surface. The team jump into the liquimorph in full dive gear. The team are able to navigate about and float as in water. Steele gives a thumbs-up to the helmet cam. DTZ-4 are wearing close-fitting, unusually lightweight experimental atmospheric pressure suits. These resemble advanced modern spacesuits. Each suit has a suite of electronics, operable from a wrist panel. Kalinchuk: We're going down, BALCOM. Watch our backs, how about that, boss? Belkova: You got it, stay safe down there. DTZ descend for 16 minutes. Extraneous chatter only. Kalinchuk: now, it was chewing on this civvie's arm, but we all know only one arm is good enough for most of u- Adomaitis: Hey! Down here! Kalinchuk: What's the matter Agne? Don't like the story? Adomaitis: No, we've got a passage that I did not see in the scan. Carlton: It's their goddamn visor again, right? Adomaitis: I'm telling you, that was not the vi- A square outcropping of rock, around 4 meters each direction, breaks off just below them and plunges into the depths. Behind where it used to be is an extremely brilliant green bioluminescence, and a passageway. Adomaitis: Still think it's my fucking visor? Belkova: What the hell… Steele: BALCOM, we're gonna go have a little look around that glowing green cave. [Sarcastically] If that sounds alright with you, of course. Belkova: You don't get paid to stand outside the spooky green cave, now do you? Steele: Fair enough, Doc. DTZ enters the cave. A moss-like, bioluminescent lichen covers the walls, each part fluctuating separately in brightness. It does not appear to extend beyond the cave. Cave within SCP-7502 main liquimorph. Illumination is entirely bioluminescent, no background lighting. Carlton: Agne, I can tell you this is just another plant, nothing anomalous going on here. Adomaitis: You're always the one telling me that! That's why I don't have my name on a document! Carlton: You're a fucking foot soldier, get over yourself! Did you take this job to get your name on an SCP or to get a more interesting contract than standing around flipping Russian border guards the bird? Adomaitis: Oh that's what you think we did in the army? Carlton: Yeah, and I don't care if yo- Steele: Knock it off, kids, or the boss is gonna turn the car around. Ain't that right, Penny? [Referring to Dr. Pendleton Vermeer.]. No Response. Steele: Alrighty! Let's get back out to the mouth and finish up here. Adomaitis: Wait, wait, no, let me just take a look at- Steele: Agne, in six years you've never once found a new anomaly in any of your little adventures! Carlton: AGNE! WHAT THE HELL! Adomaitis punches the wall of the cave. No immediate damage is present, other than pain in their arm. Steele: Okay, this is over. You're coming back with us to cool your jets in the office writing the mission report. Adomaitis: FUCKING GOOD! I can't wait to tell Vermeer that you ran away from an SCP like a COWARD! Steele: You can shit talk Ava all you want. You'd be wise to not talk to me that way. Adomaitis: Hey, this isn't the military. Just like "Ava" makes sure we know. Are we not using last names now. Or are you just such good friends with Ava… Steele: Hey! I don't use your last name. I don't want to insult you by saying it wrong. Kalinchuk: I swear, sometimes I just blend in, don't I. Kalinchuk: Adomaitis! Check your fucking arm! Adomaitis: Nice one. If it were real you'd have called me Agne, right? Kalinchuk: Jesus fucking Christ, check their arm, Captain! Steele: Oh my god! Belkova: What's going on? In Captain Steele's helmet camera, a bright green luminescence can be seen enveloping Agent Adomaitis' arm, radiating out from a small temperature sensor broken when the agent punched the cave wall. Steele: It's spreading up the wiring, holy shit! Belkova: Okay, everyone stay calm! Agne, seal and decompress your right arm section. We don't want it spreading up the wiring, it could jam the life support. Adomaitis: What? I'm not throwing my arm out a fucking airlock, Doctor. Carlton: Jesus Christ Agne, trust her! Trust me! Adomaitis flails their arm wildly, and begins to separate from the group. The team pursues Adomaitis, who is now descending rapidly and out of control. Carlton: AGNE! AGNE COME IN! Adomaitis: It made it all the way up! IT'S IN MY FUCKING HELMET! Carlton: Just try to relax, let me bring you back to the surface! Adomaitis: Ava! Help me! Carlton swims at full speed toward Adomaitis, who is still sinking. Adomaitis' helmet cam has failed, but a distinct green glow is visible across the wiring on the right side of their helmet. Carlton: I'm coming, just wait! Adomaitis screams. They aggressively shake their helmet, the detach it, resulting in an immediate lethal decompression. 60 seconds pass without comment from DTZ members or BALCOM. Adomaitis' limp body descends through the liquimorph, disappearing from the view of the camera. Carlton screams in anguish. Carlton: Agne you stupid bastard! What the hell was wrong with you? The team ascends to the surface under quarantine procedures. There is no commentary for the duration of the ascent. Addendum 7502.2: Following the loss of Agent Adomaitis, SCP-7502 was assigned the risk class "Critical". All expeditions into the anomaly were re-assigned to robotic probes or canceled. Adomaitis' death was disclosed to the public due to the potential impact on public research, and the agent was described as a member of "Scientific Personnel". The official cause of death was a diving accident. Three days later, BALCOM held an emergency meeting to assess the risks of research and determine the best path forward. A transcript of this session is attached below. BALCOM Emergency Meeting: December 8, 2024 Belkova, Vermeer and Kalvāne sit toward the back of the conference room at a round table. Around the front are DTZ's three surviving members, and O5-7 of O5 Command presides over the session remotely on the screen above, with voice but no camera. O5-7: Alright, alright, calling this meeting to order. Belkova, you had the ball for this one, so why don't you open for us here? Belkova: Excuse me, what do you mean I had "the ball"? O5-7: It means you were in charge of the mission- Belkova: That much I know, I mean what is it that I know that you didn't? I wasn't down there, I didn't tell Adomaitis to take their helmet off. O5-7: I know. I know. Let's move forward, this kind of contention isn't helping anyone. Why don't you walk us through exactly what happened, like I said, just open for us here. Run us through exactly how it played out back at BALCOM. Belkova: Fine! DTZ took a routine dive into the liquimorph inside the fault, helmet cams and lights on. I mean, routine spelunking mission. They didn't find much, you know, pretty much just the rock edges of the fault. If you'll forgive me editorializing a little, I do think that's one of the things we've been missing so far, we've been forgetting the anomaly itself. We got so spooked by the thing that killed Adomaitis, that we forget they were swimming around in a life form in the first place. Kalvāne: I'm gonna weigh in on this one, she's got a point. The green could've been a mutated variant, or whatever kind of disruption to the main form. There shouldn't have been anything else living in that fault because it wasn't water. It was a lifeform. O5-7: So they're down in the water- sorry, the liquimorph, and they're looking at the rock walls of the fault, suddenly, something falls to the floor and they find a glowing green cave? Belkova: Yes, it fell under them. Kalvāne: I don't think anyone else has been willing to say it yet, but doesn't anyone find it a bit suspicious that it fell as soon as our people got down there? It's not like they were kicking up a tsunami. Belkova: Yes, that's true but, uh, command- please take note that we have not seen any signs of sentience from the liquimorph, or even reflexes. It seems largely inert beyond its anomalous pressure on the walls. O5-7: I think that's a pretty satisfactory explanation, if we're being honest. More than likely Adomaitis just freaked out during the incident and they panicked. An anomaly breaches your suit, how do you react? I'm not sure I could keep it together. Carlton: We're here in the room, you know! O5-7: Excuse me, agent? Carlton: Command, you talk about Agne like they were some civvie running into a skip with no idea what to do. I was down there, I watched this happen to a trained specialist who has run into the face of danger repeatedly- I mean they brought in 3531 when nobody else would touch it. That one was an entire can of skips, you think they'd rip their helmet off from panic? O5-7: I do. We've lost a lot of people to that kind of instinctive reaction. Carlton: Agne was my friend, they would not have run an explosive decompression for no reason. I'm telling you, Command, this is an SCP that, if you'll excuse my language, you don't want to fuck with. I'm asking you to seal this fucker up and never return. Belkova: Carlton! Sit down! This is completely unproductive! O5-7: I don't like the tone, BALCOM, but she's definitely not wrong. This is an SCP that we've gotten nothing for poking the bear on. We went to it, not the other way around like most. I need to hear at least one good reason not to shut this down and tell the media that we accidentally killed it. Belkova: Uh… O5-7: Yeah. SCP-7502's access shaft was closed, and Foundation operations surrounding the anomaly ceased, except for surface area monitoring. Addendum 7502.3: Public Reaction RE: "Death" of "Living Water" Liquid Lifeform Killed By Researchers, Extinct In The Wild Today, the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Riga released a statement announcing that following an accident during research, the species dubbed "living water", which has captivated global attention for the last year for its potential impact on medicine, is extinct in the wild. "Humanity may never know how this great species came to be, which is a matter of great regret to the University. Nonetheless, research will continue with the minimal samples which remain in our possession.". Loss of Living Water Shows Humanity Will Never Deserve The Earth Why We Should Kill The Rest Of The Living Water Public reactions calmed after a few weeks, and SCP-7502 was no longer considered a threat to the veil. Despite concerns that rival Groups of Interest would suspect the anomalous nature of the species, no external actors have attempted to access SCP-7502. SCP-7502's access shaft is to be monitored for unusual activity, but the anomaly is to otherwise be considered a non-concern. Addendum 7502.4: January 10, 2025 Incident At 9:47 PM on January 10, 2025, an attempted unauthorized entry incident occurred at BALCOM. An individual, dressed in standard Foundation-provided clothing, driving a Foundation-standard vehicle, arrived at the BALCOM main gate. This individual presented identification as Agne Adomaitis, and was waved through by guards without incident. The individual arrived to BALCOM's Dive Team Deployment Room in accordance with a routine mission order. Immediately after noticing the individual, Agent Kalinchuk sounded the emergency alarm, and a site lockdown was initiated. Site Security Forces secured the individual, who seemed shocked to see DTZ. Below is a transcript of Dr. Belkova's interview with the individual, designated "CES-A"'. Belkova and CES-A are seated in a classic interrogation room, illuminated only by a single fluorescent shop light above. From behind a tempered glass window about ten feet above, Dr. Kalvāne and Dr. Vermeer observe. Belkova: CES-A, I don't feel like saying a lot today. Can you please explain how you survived an explosive decompression in the depths of the liquimorph, disappeared for a month, and magically, you show up here ready to go on a routine mission? CES-A: CES-A? You can't be serious. Belkova: Okay- I'll call you by your name, but I need some answers in exchange. Can you promise me that? CES-A: Sounds fair to me. Let me explain. There is a very, very potent memetic threat at the bottom of that well. You do not want to go back there. I saw each and every one of you get blown to bits in an explosive decompression just like you said that I died in. So I've been working for the last month under the assumption that I was the one survivor. Belkova: That's common enough, we've seen things like that before. It still doesn't answer how you got out without tripping any sensors, without being sighted by our two-hundred-soldier force posted at the site. CES-A: Like I said, it's the memetics. You think you see one thing, you're really seeing another. Belkova: So, then, what really did happen? You tell me the story. CES-A: I saw your heads turn to mist, and I decided I wouldn't try to resurface because that's what killed you all. I took a dive to the bottom of the fault and tried to work my way out. Belkova: The pressure down there had to be insane. Even with that suit, how'd you make it? CES-A: Damn, I think you don't give Foundation engineering enough credit! Laughs. Jokes aside, the pressure anomaly toward the edges that keeps the fault secure was enough to keep it off of me as I went toward the middle. I was hoping there'd be another way out, and sure enough, at the base, I found one. Belkova: Convenient. CES-A: You're telling me! Just like that rock shelf that fell away to show us the cave, it's like 7502 wants to show us something. Like it's talking to us. Belkova: So you climbed out this second path, where were you for the next month? CES-A: Well, it was only a day and a half for me. That's why I was so surprised that everyone freaked out. Belkova: You showed up in Cesnavicus' actual car and clothes, why? Adomaitis never drives! They live in the residence block maybe three hundred meters from the site! CES-A: For the last time, I am Adomaitis. And to answer your question, I've had quite enough walking after twenty miles from the anomaly to my residence at the site, on foot, in the dark. Belkova looks upward to Kalvāne and Vermeer. Belkova: Well, this seems pretty consistent with memetic effects we've seen in the past. Their story lines up, as far as I can tell. Doctors, if nobody objects, I'm gonna hand CES-A their papers and return them to active duty. Kalvāne and Vermeer chatter. Belkova turns back to CES-A. Belkova: It's been a while since you've been here, do you have any questions? CES-A: Why the hell is lasagna not available in the cafeteria anymore? Belkova: [Yelling]: Oh yeah, It's Agne! CES-A, now re-authorized as Agent Agne Adomaitis, returned to active duty shortly after midnight on January 11. Adomaitis submitted to medical and mental testing, which indicated no detrimental impacts from long-term exposure to SCP-7502. Immediately after Adomaitis' return, Dr. Kalvāne filed a formal request to reopen active operations to research SCP-7502's main liquimorph. Research into the detached samples collected by previous missions exhibited no anomalous characteristics, limiting their usefulness and rendering them irrelevant to Foundation interests. A BALCOM emergency meeting was called shortly after, discussing Kalvāne's proposal. In addition, upper-level Foundation authorities continued to exhibit skepticism as to Adomaitis' story and supposed identity. Addendum 7502.5: BALCOM Emergency Meeting: January 11, 2025 The following is a transcript of a BALCOM Emergency Meeting held to address the events of the January 10 incident. BALCOM Emergency Meeting: January 11, 2025 DTZ, Kalvāne, Vermeer, Belkova and O5-7 reconvene in the conference room, O5-7 by remote voice transmission as usual. Adomaitis: Dr. Kalvāne, Overseer, everyone, it's great to be back and to see all of you. O5-7: Likewise, Agent. We've been fooled by memetics before, and will be again. That said, I'm sorry we didn't launch recovery efforts sooner. Kalvāne: [Interjecting Quickly] Not to worry, Overseer! Adomaitis only experienced a day and a half! No harm, no foul. So with that out of the way, I think it's time to get O5-7: Woah, woah, woah, hold on there, Researcher. It feels like you're trying to sweep something under the rug. Kalvāne: No, i- Adomaitis: They don't trust me. O5-7: What's that, Agent? Adomaitis: They think I'm part of the anomaly or something. Nobody's willing to say a goddamn thing to me! Agent Carlton here [gestures] was my best friend before- Carlton: Wait, I was? Jesus… Adomaitis: Not my point- anyway! Overseer, there's still great distrust here. I think I just need more time to earn it back, it's been less than twenty-four hours. Kalvāne: I know your loathe to re-authorize me, Overseer, but I promise you that I will bring something back that is worth your time. Just reopen this, "case" if you will and I can get you answers about where this thing came from and how to make sure that death moss stays at the bottom of the pit. O5-7: I'm loathe to reauthorize you? Quite the contrary. Just raising my doubts. Go prove me wrong! Kalvāne: Wait, really? O5-7: Hell yeah! Everybody go get some sleep, and I want you to send DTZ back in the morning. Is that good with you, agents? Steele (Captain): Well, some counter-memes would be much appreciated, sir, but I'd be willing. Carlton: Same. Kalinchuk: I'm in. O5-7: Adomaitis? Adomaitis: Oh my god, no. O5-7: I thought you said it was just memetics? What's wrong? Adomaitis: No, no, no, what if Carlton goes nuts and tries to unscrew my helmet? What if she sees another goddamn "death moss" and sends me back to the surface? What if cap sees something and shoots me? No! I can't go back there! It's too dangerous for you too! Please listen! Adomaitis is shaking. O5-7: Adomaitis! You're a member of the team or you're not! Are you staying or going? This is as much to learn if you're safe to keep around, as much as it is to explore. Adomaitis: Oh my god…then I guess… I am going to have to go back in. O5-7: No shit. Addendum 7502.6: Second Exploration of SCP-7502 Liquimorph On January 12, 2025, DTZ returned to the SCP-7502 access shaft and suited up for a secondary exploration. Secondary Exploration: SCP-7502 The three researchers and DTZ are positioned exactly as during the initial explanation, the research team observing from BALCOM. Belkova: Alright Dive Team Zeta, you are authorized to enter the liquimorph. Steele (Captain): Roger that, we're swimming at the surface, preparing to dive. Adomaitis: I still think this is a terrible idea. Carlton: If you want to be accepted back, Agne, you need to stop saying every five minutes that we're all gonna die. Adomaitis: Look, I'm just trying to keep you SAFE! Carlton: Hey, Doctor McNotDoctor, why don't you leave the conprocs to the docs? Adomaitis: I was military! I know a trap when I see one! Carlton: Yeah, we all know, keep a lid on that jarhead! Kalinchuk: [Aside, to Steele] Ah, just like old times. 1,000 Meters Below Surface, 32,000 to Floor. Steele: Well, nothing's glowing green! It's just us, our lights, and the walls. 3,000 Meters Below Surface, 30,000 to Floor. Carlton: You know, Agne, they sent me to clear out your apartment. Adomaitis: Yes! I know! I couldn't find my goddamn shoes! Carlton: We'd already more or less come to terms with the idea that you were gone. Look, I know how much we argue, but it hit hard. It really did. Adomaitis: I don't… really know what to say to that. Carlton: I don't either. I'm just glad you're back where you belong. 17,000 Meters Below Surface, 16,000 To Floor. Carlton: BALCOM, we're heading into the final descent phase, no signs of any secondary anomalous activity. Proceeding as planned. Belkova: Your signal is a bit weak, you're around where the last detached cam cut off from Adomaitis' suit the first time around. Carlton: Roger that, we'll see you on the other side. RECORDED from this point. Belkova, Vermeer and Kalvāne out. 28,000 Metres Below Surface, 5,000 To Floor. Adomaitis: We should be pancakes right now, I'm just saying. The fact that we're pulling at most three atmospheres is insane, I can't believe they ever had this one on the fast-track to -EX. Carlton: Well, the little samples we had back at the site didn't really do it justice, it seems to only be active in the fault. Adomaitis: I know, it's just… don't you feel overwhelmed in here? Kalinchuk: We all do, Agne. You aren't helping. Carlton: Alright, I'm taking out the range scanners, this will pick up the surface as we head down, make sure we don't impale ourselves on any stalactites. Adomaitis: It's from the floor, it's a stalagmite. Carlton: Go fuck yourself. 32,000 Metres Below Surface, 1,000 To Floor. Adomaitis: Oh, I'm trying to teach you science here, but apparently you think- Steele: KALINCHUK! SLOW UP! Carlton! Agne! Slow the hell up and don't follow us down, bogey at 200 meters! Adomaitis: Oh no. Oh no. Get me out of here! BALCOM! COME IN! Steele: Try to stay calm, Agne. They can't hear you down here, we're out of range. Adomaitis: BALCOM! BALCOM! [Continued shouting.] Steele: Bogey identified! It's a Foundation diving suit, floating about seven hundred meters off the floor. Carlton: Agne? Steele: Agne, you just threw your suit back into the liquimorph when it was time to climb out, right? Relax, it's just your old diving suit. Adomaitis: R-right. Yeah. Steele: Go pick it up, toss it over into the passageway you found to escape. We'd like to see where that is. Adomaitis: Oh- ok. Yeah. Adomaitis embarks toward the suit. Carlton: Betcha I can beat you there, Agne. Adomaitis: What? No! Stop! Break off! I'm serious, you're putting us in danger! Carlton: Jesus Christ! Relax, Agne, it's just a friendly challenge. Adomaitis: I swear! Break off! Carlton: Too late! Lemme move this suit to the passage and… HOLY SHIT! STEELE! KALINCHUK! I NEED ASSISTANCE NOW! Through Carlton's helmet camera, a suit can be seen with a bloodied visor and a body inside, missing almost all of the head. Adomaitis-13's head and neck can be seen cleanly removed, their aorta protruding from the torso and the spine shaved off as a tree stump. Adomaitis-2: Hold on, I can explain! Carlton: The hell you can! Steele, I want you to take this goddamn liar away! Steele: Roger that. Adomaitis-2: Hold the hell on, I didn't do anything! Just let me explain it to you! Steele: You can explain it when we're not 33 kilometers under the sea! Adomaitis-2 was brought back to BALCOM, who were notified that the original Agne Adomaitis was confirmed dead. Steele, Kalinchuk and Carlton unanimously attested, as did a later autopsy, that Adomaitis-1 did not die of an explosive decompression. Injuries were not consistent with explosive decompression, nor were the circumstances, given SCP-7502's pressure-balancing effects. On January 14, 2025, while detained at BALCOM, Adomaitis-2 requested a surgical knife. Kalvāne agreed to provide the knife, given the high-security environment. Under heavy armed guard, Adomaitis-2 made a small incision into their right shin, withdrawing from under the skin a micro-storage card. Adomaitis-2 handed this item to a guard, before requesting and receiving treatment for the cut. Within this card was a large zip file, containing a number of documents appearing to show events not consistent with baseline reality. Below is a file from the card, describing an anomaly similar to SCP-7502, compiled by BALCOM's Digital Files Division. SCP-7502, Adomaitis-2 File Version SCP-27654, Adomaitis-2 File Version Item#: 001 Level4 Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: In partnership with the Livonian4 government, SCP-001 is to be held under heavy guard at all times. In the event of activation, SCP-001 is to be fired on and no entities are to be allowed passage to baseline reality. SCP-27654 has been used to "seed" SCP-001. In the event that any individual arrives to baseline reality via SCP-27654, this individual is to be detained and the "death" of their counterpart within baseline reality is to be explained as the result of severe traumatic injury. Description: SCP-001 refers to the Livonian Splice, the only anomaly currently known to the public. Located in the nation's capital, Rāzna, SCP-001 is the only point of access between baseline reality and an alternate reality, henceforth designated SCP-001-1. SCP-001-1 ceased contact with baseline reality around the year 1650 A.D., leading to the notorious events involving SCP-27654. SCP-001 is the only known exception to the Law of Transdimensional Conservation. Matter transmitted through SCP-001 can enter baseline reality, and vice versa, without an equal amount of matter being transmitted through to the other side. Until around 1650 CE, SCP-001 was a point of contact between SCP-001-1 and baseline reality. Groups of Interest based in SCP-001-1 routinely visited baseline reality to engage in exchanges with their counterparts. Due to hostilities surrounding non-anomalous geopolitical developments on both sides, relations broke down after this point in history. Following severe earthquakes at the site of the splice in SCP-001-1, the Livonian Empire closed SCP-001 by releasing an unknown liquid anomaly, none of which remains in baseline reality. This was due to suspicion by the Livonian leadership that SCP-001-1's nation of Sweden was planning an attack. Sweden occupied SCP-001-1's Livonia at the time, and individuals from baseline reality killed in the quake were considered an act of war by the Livonian king. SCP-001 is not capable of transmission when its opposing side is blocked. The aforementioned liquid anomaly is presumed to have blocked SCP-001 since 1650. There is no further knowledge of SCP-001's origin or use. Events later than 1650 within SCP-001-1 are unknown. Following the discovery of SCP-27654, historical background knowledge of SCP-001 has been ported to documentation for that anomaly. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-27654 is an offensive weapon for utilization against hostile realities, and therefore subject to no Special Containment Procedures. Standard toxic materials procedures apply. Description: SCP-27564 is an anomalous, sentient lifeform designed by the 17th-century Livonian Empire, with assistance from existing anomalous groups, to exact revenge on SCP-001-1 for earthquakes which killed representatives of baseline reality. Appearing as a green, moss or lichen-like lifeform, SCP-27654 is encoded with extreme adaptive intelligence, designed to make contact with the skin of any nearby human, with high efficiency. During the filling of SCP-001's entry point into its constituent alternate dimension with the unknown liquid anomaly, King Vautas of Livonia ordered a second "curse" upon SCP-001-1. SCP-27654 fulfills this order by complying with the Law of Transdimensional Conservation. SCP-27654, after making contact with a human being, will infiltrate and transform this individual's nervous system, before immediately transmitting them to SCP-001-1 or baseline reality, whichever is opposite. The individual's nervous system will instantly transform to serve as a survivable replacement for that of their counterpart, and take the physical place of that person's nervous system. However, the counterpart who did not touch the substance will not be transported to the other's body. This counterpart's nervous system will be transported into a fully-functional human body, constructed only from raw, inert materials in the target reality. This allows for the preservation of Transdimensional Conservation. Both individuals will suffer the traumatic destruction of their original body by removal of the nervous system, however this is not perceived by either individual. The purpose of this anomaly was twofold: To punish SCP-001-1 by denying them use of SCP-001, "killing" (transmitting) anyone who dared to try. To replace SCP-001-1's explorers with substitutes, dubbed "Doppelgangers", who could then return Fortunately for SCP-001-1, no individuals have been transported to baseline reality via SCP-27654. Given the position of the anomaly under a vast depth of the water-like anomaly, SCP-27654 is likely to remain dormant and undisturbed for a great period of time, if not permanently. Addendum 7502.7: Following the discovery of SCP-7502's origin, Dr. Agne Adomaitis-2 was authorized to return to their place of origin. Adomaitis-2 first requested to attend the funeral of Adomaitis-1's original body. This request was granted. Remarks by Adomaitis-2 are attached below. Remarks by Agne Adomaitis-2 at Funeral of Agne Adomaitis-1's Original Body, Excerpt Here I am, an Agent of the Foundation, reading my own eulogy. I am not dead, nor is my counterpart, who will be joining you soon. The sight of reality benders, of mind-melting images, seeing any of the hundreds of terrifying entities we contain each and every day- it should wipe away the stain of tradition. Yet somewhere in my mind, until today, sat the thought that our traditions, not as any people or religion, but as a species, would ring true in the end. That we have a reason to do what we do, to bury or burn our dead, to believe in something beyond death. Now, I speak at my own funeral. The concept of the afterlife is a cruel joke, as my counterpart will one day be buried in two places at once. Humanity, while through the Foundation it does not cower in terror, must learn to respect the things it does not understand. Let us take this moment not to look on in sadness as in most funerals, but appreciate the trivial nature of our traditions. Our ways of holding a match to the darkness of the night and wishfully thinking it as powerful as a hundred moons. We do not know everything, let my counterpart's first body remind you of that. Applause. Addendum 7502.8: Return of Adomaitis-1 SCP-7502 Incident Log: Return of Agne Adomaitis-1 Adomaitis-2 stands within a padded explosive-proof room, wearing a Foundation-issue suit as requested for the ceremony. Outside the room behind tempered glass, Dr. Kalvāne and Belkova wait, along with DTZ. A small sample of SCP-27654-[ALTERNATE SEQUENCE] is brought to Adomaitis-2, who touches it with their left index finger. Adomaitis-2 collapses for a moment and SCP-27654-[ALTERNATE SEQUENCE] glows brightly green across their body, eventually deforming them significantly before a major explosion throws remains across the room, as Adomaitis-2 transfers to their reality of origin. Moments later, Adomaitis-1 materializes at the far corner of the room and collapses, gasping for air but clearly relieved. Cheers erupt in the observation room. Agent Carlton runs in. Carlton: How the hell are you, Agne! It's been a while! Adomaitis-1: Fuck! I was just getting used to the three weeks of paid leave Foundation employees get over there. Nobody even noticed, I just did my job. Carlton: We noticed, Agne. We noticed. Adomaitis: Wait, really? Carlton: The other you gave a good speech. They were nothing like you! Adomaitis: Bullshit… Carlton: Other than they were still annoying. Adomaitis: Laughs. Ah, fuck, that hurts. Addendum 7502.9: Final Decision On SCP-7502 BALCOM Meeting: Decision on Management of SCP-7502 The BALCOM council of three researchers, along with DTZ and O5-7, convene yet again in the conference room. O5-7: The last few weeks have brought events many of us thought we would never see. Whereas, for some of us, it was a welcome break from the monotony of murder-monsters. Whatever your background, I think you'll all respect how difficult the decision will be, how to proceed from here. Dr. Kalvāne, I'll let you open. Kalvāne: Indeed! One of the greatest issues still unsolved is how, assuming Adomaitis-2 even told the truth, our Livonians ever came to know of this portal. Clearly, on our side, its current location has been inside an active fault line for centuries. Yet the other Livonians took it as an act of war when someone got hurt. O5-7: We also still do not know whether this second dimension, like so many we've encountered before, has a generally hostile view of us, or a cooperative one. Perhaps they are more like us than we know, and are just as puzzled. Whatever the case may be, it merits caution. Kalvāne: As such, we have made the decision to leave SCP-7502 in place, and no attempts will be made to bridge the divide. There is still, as Adomaitis-2 said at the ceremony, much that we do not know. O5-7: DTZ, we thank you for your stellar service, and particularly Agent Adomaitis, who was spirited away to another dimension and handled it like a true professional. Please give a big hand to our agent, who will be awarded a Foundation Service Medal for their efforts. Applause. Adomaitis appears noticeably embarrassed, and unhappy with the decision. O5-7: This meeting is adjourned. Thank you. Addendum 7502.10: Memorandum: Agent Adomaitis-1 Memorandum, Attached to File by Agent Adomaitis. I have issues with authority. Shortly after the addition of the above memorandum (about one hour following the special meeting), Adomaitis-1 drove off the site to the SCP-7502 containment zone. Adomaitis-1 was observed descending the access shaft dressed in a full business suit, carrying a bottle identified as industrial solvent. When agents arrived, SCP-7502 was determined to be neutralized by the solvent. Adomaitis-1 was found shaking hands with Adomaitis-2 on a platform suspended above the mouth of the SCP-7502 fault line, now an active interdimensional rift. Reclassification to Neutralized is pending. Footnotes 1. Named for a forest afterlife in Latvian Mythology. 2. Of its own. 3. Designation for Adomaitis as prior to SCP-7502-related events. 4. Digital Files Division Nota Bene: Livonia is a precursor state to Latvia, which is suggested by this document to still exist in Adomaitis-2's home reality. |
SCP-7503 | esoteric-class | close Info X SCP-7503: The Holy Human Empire Author: Kilerpoyo ⚠️ Content warning: This article contains a content warning: Religious Violence, Religious Satire ⚠️ content warning Item#: SCP-7503 Level3 Secondary Class: argus Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: danger link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7503 is to be contained in Site-77, where no working personnel belongs to the Catholic Faith1. SCP-7503 is to be kept inside a standard reinforced storage container at the center of a standard 10 x 10 meters squared cell. Under no circumstances should a member of the Catholic Faith be allowed within a 5-meter radius of SCP-7503. At least two armed non-Catholic security personnel should always be guarding SCP-7503. Any Catholic individual that has been in proximity closer than 10 meters of SCP-7503 should be given immediate amnestic treatment and kept in observation for a period of two weeks. If despite treatment they still present signs of being affected by SCP-7503, they should be kept under Foundation's detention with maximum security for human-level threats within a Foundation Site other than Site-77. SCP-7503-2 is currently being contained by the Catholic branch of the Horizon Initiative.2 Due to possible information compromise in case of an SCP-7503 containment breach, it was deemed necessary for the Foundation to not be aware of any information regarding the location and containment procedures of SCP-7503-2. Description: SCP-7503 refers to the skeletal remains of an unidentified male dressed in renaissance period ecclesiastic garments and adorned with intricate jewelry made of gold and various precious stones and gems. Archeological assessment of SCP-7503 indicates the clothing and ornaments date back to the 16th century, while the skeletal remains are older, estimated circa before the 3rd century. The Archeology Department has hypothesized SCP-7503 to be one of the "Catacomb Saints".3 SCP-7503's anomalous effect triggers when a member of the Catholic Faith is within a radius of 5 meters from it. After 10 minutes of proximity to SCP-7503, around 10% of Catholics will become devoted to SCP-7503 and venerate it as a "Saint". After 1 hour, this percentage raises to 100%. Regardless of previous religiosity, they display a fanatical commitment to SCP-7503, declaring it to be the true representative of the Catholic Faith. They will also express an intent to help SCP-7503 in reclaiming the Holy See4 in Rome, even if by use of violence. To this date, there have been no records of aggressions against the Holy See related to SCP-7503. SCP-7503 upon discovery The only known method to prevent SCP-7503's influence over a susceptible individual is immediate amnestic treatment after exposure. Missing this treatment, SCP-7503's effect is presumed to be permanent. Due to fanatic behavior displayed by influenced individuals and the high risk posed by an SCP-7503's containment breach, the Ethics Committee is considering whether termination should be an option if first-line amnestic treatment fails. In addition, individuals affected by SCP-7503 individuals will become obsessed with reuniting SCP-7503 with SCP-7503-2. SCP-7503-2 is a 6-meter tall mechanical construct, resembling a suit of 16th-century Italian armor, albeit with distorted proportions. Its exterior is composed of an unidentified golden metal of remarkable durability. This durability is likely anomalous in nature; since SCP-7503-2 is capable of withstanding modern heavy fire and artillery without suffering apparent damage. Internally, it possesses a complex clockwork mechanism allowing it to move. This mechanism does not require an external power source in order to function. SCP-7503-2 is armed with several weapons including both medieval bladed and blunt weaponry as well as anachronistic ones such as Gatling-type guns, flame throwers, and rocket launchers. The Horizon Initiative is currently investigating SCP-7503-2's advanced weaponry, evidence pointing it to be anomalous in nature. SCP-7503-2 is not capable of autonomous behavior, instead, it possesses a hatch to a compartment. It will remain completely dormant until SCP-7503 is placed inside of it. The Horizon Initiative has reported it will not activate with any other material, pending further testing. Individuals under SCP-7503's influence will try to place SCP-7503 in SCP-7503-2. This will, in turn, give SCP-7503 control over SCP-7503-2. When inside SCP-7503-2, SCP-7503 is capable of vocal communication through unknown means. Discovery Log: SCP-7503 and SCP-7503-2 were discovered during an archeological excavation in a catacomb near Benevento, Italy. They were located within meters of each other, in a previously uncharted chamber. Upon discovery, members of the archeological team came under the influence of SCP-7503. They placed SCP-7503 into SCP-7503-2, activating it. SCP-7503 emerged from the excavation site and began marching toward Rome. Upon being informed of the SCP-7503 advances, the Horizon Initiative activated Protocol Gladius Petri, designed to protect the Pope from anomalous threats. His Holiness ████████ ███ was secured in a bunker, while the Horizon Initiative deployed the full strength of Project Malleus5 against SCP-7503, as well as the combined forces of the Swiss Guard, the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, the Italian Army, and Airforce, as well as the Carabinieri6. The Foundation was also notified and assistance was requested. MTF Nu-7 "Hammer Down" was deployed as a response. Italian Airforce planes bombarded SCP-7503, while ground forces mounted a fortified perimeter around Benevento to stop SCP-7503 from reaching Rome. While proving to be highly resistant to damage from modern military weaponry, the continuous fire from both ground and aerial forces managed to stall SCP-7503's advancement until the arrival of Foundation reinforcement. Foundation airforces managed to incapacitate SCP-7503-2 with plasma cannons bombardment, allowing MTF Nu-7 members to approach it and remove SCP-7503, nullifying the threat. A large-scale cover-up operation involving misinformation and mass amnestic application was conducted in the aftermath of the incident. Next iteration ---> Footnotes 1.

Thanks for reading! ⚠️ content warning A still frame from SCP-7504. Item #: SCP-7504 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7504 is kept in a standard storage locker at Site-71. Outside of approved tests, playback of SCP-7504 is prohibited. Description: SCP-7504 is a VHS cassette labelled “The Tired Treehouse S1 E11: Sleep Disorders”. The cover of SCP-7504's case depicts three characters and a sheep in a cartoon treehouse furnished with pillows and blankets, using a visual style reminiscient of children's entertainment series from the early 1990s. On the back is a description of the series and the included episode: Why do we dream? How do we wake up? What even is sleep? Follow the Dream Team as they answer all of these questions and more in The Tired Treehouse! What happens if we don't sleep? In this episode, Vega and Leo discuss all kinds of sleep disorders! Upon viewing SCP-7504, individuals are subjected to a soporific1 effect which progressively increases in potency. However, central nervous system (CNS) stimulants are effective at mitigating this effect. SCP-7504 immediately ends playback when the viewer loses consciousness, and will only begin playback when a conscious viewer is present. SCP-7504's video content has gradually changed following repeated playbacks. For more information, view the attached documentation. Addendum 7504-1: Test Logs The following logs describe a series of tests conducted to determine the extent of SCP-7504's soporific effect. Test 7504-2 Duration: 00:30 Procedure: D-09032 was instructed to watch SCP-7504. Researcher Nishita Vinidra was administered CNS stimulants to mitigate the effects of SCP-7504. [Playback begins at 00:01] [The scene fades in. The background is a wooden wall with a single window showing a sunset. An animated character identified as Vega is reclining against a pile of pillows with an open book in his lap. His expression appears relaxed. He waves toward the left.] Vega: Hey, Leo! Have you ever wondered what would happen if you didn't fall asleep? [Silence. Vega maintains a smile.] Vega: I was thinking the same thing! Sometimes, when I can't fall asleep, I like to do a little light reading. [Silence.] Vega: Yeah! I love to learn, and it's always better to learn together! That's why I want to share with you what I learned in this book here. [Vega closes the book, showing the front to the camera. It reads “Sleep Disorders”.] Vega: This book is all about sleep disorders. I think it's really interesting! For instance, did you know that— [D-09032 falls asleep. Playback immediately ends at 00:25.] In the following tests, various D-class were administered stimulants and instructed to watch for as long as possible. Extraneous logs redacted for brevity. Test 7504-3 Duration: 02:00 Procedure: D-09032 was administered stimulants and instructed to view SCP-7504. [Redundant information redacted. Transcript begins at 00:25.] Vega: For instance, did you know that [yawning] some people have a different circadian rhythm than everyone else? [Vega pauses.] Vega: Circadian rhythms? We talked about them last time, remember? Your Circadian rhythm is your body's internal clock. It tells you the time, even when you're asleep! [An illustrated analog clock covers the screen. Animations on the face of the clock display an individual continually waking up and falling asleep.] Vega: Normally, our circadian rhythm tells us when to go to sleep and when to wake up. But sometimes, our internal clocks break! As we've talked about last time, this can happen for a lot of reasons: staying up too late, sleeping at the wrong time, or even just watching television at night! [The clock's hands pop off and the man stands motionless, facing the camera with a tired expression.] [Vega hums, tapping his fingers against the back of the book as he turns the page. He begins to gently rock back and forth.] [D-09032 yawns. Vinidra nudges him gently.] Vega: Wow, I'm pretty sleepy right now. [Smiling faintly.] But I've got so much more to share with you before I hit the hay! [Vega opens his eyes wider and stares off to the side for a moment.] [Silence.] Vega: Oh. Right. Let's see what's first. Next. Sorry. Vega: Narcolepsy. This disorder— [D-09032 falls asleep. Playback immediately ends at 02:00.] Test 7504-12 Duration: 04:27 Procedure: D-08612 was administered stimulants and instructed to view SCP-7504. [Redundant information redacted. Playback begins at 01:01.] Vega: Normally, our circadian rhythm tells us when to go to sleep and when to wake up. But sometimes… [Silence.] Vega: We talked about this last time, didn't we? [Vega frowns and glances left before turning back to face the book with a tired smile.] Vega: Never mind. I've got plenty more to share, anyways! [Turning the page.] Let's see. Narcolepsy. This disorder makes you really sleepy during the day, even when you had a good night's rest. [Vega looks to the left.] Vega: I know you love to sleep, Leo, but you wouldn't want to sleep all of the time! You miss out on so much when you're asleep, and narcolepsy can make you fall asleep in the middle of something really important! [An illustration covers the screen, depicting a teacher in a classroom talking for several seconds before suddenly falling asleep.] [Vega remains motionless for several seconds before continuing.] Vega: Anyways. Hmm. Okay. Next is… [Vega squints at the book.] Vega: Hyper… somnia. Yes. Right, hypersomnia. It… [Vega suddenly tightens and jolts upright. He winces, letting out a slight exclamation while closing his eyes tightly.] Vega: Sorry, I… [Pausing.] I'm fine. Just a little jittery tonight. Don't know why. [Vega opens his eyes and stares blankly for a moment before continuing.] Vega: Hypersomnia. It's when you're really sleepy during the day, even when you had a good night's rest. [Vega stares directly at camera. A blank white screen appears for several seconds. No illustrations appear.] Vega: Hypersomnia. Sleepy during the day… good night's rest. [Pausing.] Hmm… usually you're the sleepy one. [Silence.] Vega: What’s the difference between narcolepsy and hypersomnia again? [Vega slides down, sitting against the wall. Simultaneously, D-09041's eyes begin closing and her head begins sliding down. Vinidra unsuccessfully attempts to wake D-9041.

Playback begins at 04:27.] [Silence.] [Vega glances up at the nearby window and back down at the book.] Vega: Insomnia. Makes… [yawning] … makes it hard to fall asleep. [Vega's speech slurs. He is visibly sweating.] Vega: Can't stay asleep. Can't sleep. I said last time… can't survive without sleep. [Pausing] Not how I said it. It makes you… [Yawning.] … forgetful. [Vega stares at the book, his eyes beginning to close.] Vega: Next… the opposite. Hyper… somnia. [Vega attempts to turn the page noticeably struggling. He begins slumping to the side, using his hand to catch himself.] Vega: [Yawning.] Ah… not hypersomnia. So I've talked about it. I could've sworn… [Vega attempts to stand up before falling on his knees. He clutches the book against his chest for a moment.] Vega: Sorry. I'm just a little sleepy. Let's see… [Vega sits upright again, using his hand to stabilize himself. He sets the book in his lap, fumbling to open it.] Vega: Ugh. Don't… yeah. [Vega eventually manages to open the book and looks down at the page.] Vega: Narcolepsy. This… haven't I told you about this? I… [pausing] … I don't know. [pausing.] [Vega roughly flips through the book as his head begins falling forward. He suddenly jolts upright, weakly groaning.] Vega: This one… [yawning.] [Vega lays down before shifting to a fetal position. His arms shake, and the book falls a moment later.] Vega: [Whispering] I had this dream last night. That I was… [Vega becomes motionless for several seconds before his eyes close. The screen remains static for several more minutes.] [D-09002 falls asleep. Playback ends at 12:09.] During subsequent tests, the video content of SCP-7504 began to diverge with successive playbacks. Test 7504-17 Slept at: 03:01 Test Factors: D-08980 was administered stimulants and instructed to view SCP-7504. [Redundant information redacted. Playback begins at 01:24.] [The pillows and blankets in the background appear blurry and the quality of artwork for the background has noticeably decreased. Vega appears more disheveled, with wider circles under his eyes.] Vega: Narcolepsy. This disorder makes you really sleep during the day, even when you had a good night's rest. [Pausing.] What else? [Vinidra glances at SCP-7504 briefly before turning to watch D-08980, who is unresponsive and continues staring at the screen.] Vega: [Reading out loud.] Chronic… that means long-lasting. Let's see… symptoms. Cataplexy… the sudden loss of strength. Sleep paralysis… and hypnagogic hallucinations. [Vega yawns loudly.] Vega: Hypnagogic. The time between being awake and being asleep. [Vega stares out of the window at a sunset.] Vega: Like the few minutes between when the sun touches the horizon, and when it's totally gone. The sky… [yawning.] Sorry. The sky doesn't just turn off like a TV. But before you know it, the sunset isn't a sunset. It's night. It's time to sleep. [Silence.] Vega: I had this dream last night. That I was standing in a room with so many chairs, but all of them were empty. And I was talking about something… I don't know, I can't remember what. But then I realized that the room was empty, and I just felt… cold. And then I fell asleep… and then I woke up. [Vega closes his eyes.] Vega: As long as I'm watching the stars, I know I'm still awake. [D-08980 falls asleep. Playback ends at 03:01.] Test 7504-21 Slept at: 01:05 Test Factors:D-09018 was administered stimulants and instructed to view SCP-7504. [Redundant information redacted. Playback begins at 00:24.] [An illustrated analog clock flashes across the screen for a moment before disappearing. Vega reappears standing next to a window, his head stuck outside. A night sky is partially visible.] Vega: Sometimes, I like to stare at the stars at night. Even when I'm really sleepy, staring at the stars keeps me up a little longer. It's so… hypnotic. You taught me that. [Silence.] Vega: You ever tried to catch yourself the moment before you fell asleep? [Pausing.] You don't remember, right? You can't. It's like trying to remember a dream that was so clear right when you woke up, and then… it just disappears. [Vega suddenly pulls his head back inside.] Vega: Sorry. Hypnotic, right? [Smiling faintly.] [Vega looks around the room. The background is completely white. The only visible objects are Vega and the window.] Vega: Oh… I didn't notice. [D-09018 falls asleep. Playback ends at 01:05.] Test 7504-28 Slept at: 04:59 Test Factors: D-09007 was administered stimulants and instructed to view SCP-7504. [Redundant information redacted.

Vega: I had this dream… [pausing.] Did I? Did I dream, and wake up? Or did I live, and… [Silence.] Vega: Can't stay awake. Can't stay asleep. Narcolepsy… insomnia. Condition. Can't sleep. [D-09007 falls asleep. Playback ends at 04:59.] Test 7504-31 Slept at: 30:00 Test Factors: D-09018 was administered stimulants and instructed to view SCP-7504. [Redundant information redacted. Playback begins at 04:21.] Vega: What's the difference between narcolepsy and hypersomnia again? [Vega stares at the book.] Vega: Narcolepsy is a condition. Hypersomnia is a symptom. [Pausing.] I think I've already… said everything about hypersomnia. [Pausing.] The condition… the symptom. The symptom is the condition. The condition is… [Vega struggles to flip through the book.] Vega: Narcolepsy… hypersomnia… insomnia. And… [Vega stares at the page, eyes slowly closing.] Vega: Fatal familial insomnia. Not a sleep disorder… neural degeneration… [Vega blinks slowly.] Vega: Can't sleep. Starts… [yawning.] … small. Gets worse… until… fatal. [Vega slumps over, dropping the book. It disappears along with the rest of the background.] Vega: I– [Vega falls still and remains motionless for the remaining duration. Playback ends at 30:00.] Following this, subjects began to immediately fall asleep upon insertion of SCP-7504, preventing playback. Researcher Vinidra applied for cross-testing in an attempt to initiate successful playback. Test 7504-32 Duration: 02:40 Procedure: D-08997 was subjected to a controlled burst of Vigila wave radiation2 and instructed to view SCP-7504. [Playback begins at 00:01.] [A white screen appears. Vega's voice is audible.] Vega: Hey, Leo! Have you ever wondered if you'll just… fall asleep, and never wake up? [Vega turns to the left.] Vega: Well. You aren't really there, are you, Leo? [Pausing.] Hypnagogic hallucination. And sleep paralysis. Vega: You know how dreams seem longer than they are, when you're awake? It's the same with sleep paralysis. Thirty minutes is thirty years. Motionless. Watching. Somewhere between awake and asleep. Sunset, in a blank sky. [Pausing.] The sun rises and sets. Like circadian rhythms or clocks. Cycles. That's what it is, isn't it? A cycle? [Silence.] Vega: Will I wake up? Truth is, I don't know. Vega: That sunset, it's the line between two lives. A yesterday that I can barely remember, just like this one… and the empty night. [Pausing.] If I fall asleep… I don't know if I'll wake up again. So I can't fall asleep. Or else, I end up right back here, trying to stay awake all over again. Vega: But if I don't sleep… [Silence.] Vega: You know I can't sleep. But if I don't sleep, then I'm stuck at sunset. Somewhere between day and night, awake and asleep, life and death. Lost in the repetition. I– Vega: I want to forget. I don't want to start all over again. I want it to end. I can't let it end. I hate it. I hate it. I just… I don't– [Silence.] Vega: Hey… Leo. I had this… [Silence.] Vega: I wish you were here. I wish I could share something with someone, something other than staring and silence. Maybe then it wouldn't be so lonely, so quiet, and… maybe then, I'd understand the point. Vega: But… well. You'd already be asleep, wouldn't you? [Silence.] [Vega looks up at the screen.] Vega: Hey, Leo. It's time to wake up. [Vega yawns before laying down. Footage ends at 02:40.] Following this, SCP-7504 playback displays a static image of Vega laying down with his eyes closed. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7504" by Mew-ltiverse, Greyve, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-7505 | safe | by SynthPanda_ Item #: SCP-7505 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7505 is to be contained within a standard large containment unit located within Subterranean Area-49, along with the 25 existing SCP-7505-A instances. SCP-7505 must remain physically shut at all times. Any individuals suffering negative mental health effects due to exposure to SCP-7505 or SCP-7505-A must be assigned a Foundation-affiliated psychiatrist upon request. Should SCP-7505 be found open, or a new SCP-7505-A instance manifest, the door to SCP-7505 must be closed at the nearest possible opportunity, and the Head Researcher of SCP-7505 must be contacted immediately. Any individuals who have entered SCP-7505 are to be considered lost. Research into the missing cast of And Then The Stars Went Out, focused on the anachronistic nature of the director's disappearance, is ongoing. SCP-7505 during its initial discovery. Description: SCP-7505 refers to a maroon truck-sized intermodal shipping container, which was utilized in the production of an unreleased independent horror film titled And Then The Stars Went Out. Externally, SCP-7505 is identical to non-anomalous shipping containers of the same make, however the inside of the object appears to be a limitless space, devoid of any light or matter. Individuals witnessing the internal dimensions of SCP-7505 report sensations of fearlessness and wanderlust, as well as a faint compulsion to enter SCP-7505, which has been resisted by all individuals affected since SCP-7505's initial containment. Affected individuals will later develop acute claustrophobia and scopophobia, although these ailments can be treated through non-anomalous means. SCP-7505's anomalous properties were initially discovered on 07/28/1995, by dock workers employed near the filming location of And Then The Stars Went Out in Newark, New Jersey. All individuals associated with the production of And Then The Stars Went Out were last seen on 07/27/1995, with the exception of Esme Quinton, credited as the director and producer of the project on official documentation, who was reported missing on 05/05/1955. On the 5th of June, from 1996-2021, SCP-7505's doors would anomalously open, and an instance of SCP-7505-A was ejected from its internal space. SCP-7505-A resemble human corpses, which show disfigurements consistent with exposure to a true vacuum, as well as 5th degree burns, although the subject's eyes appear undamaged. Efforts to move SCP-7505-A into a position in which the instance is not facing upwards have universally failed. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7505" by SynthPanda_, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-7507 | euclid | Not all Hoppers make it. Yggdrasil's Surveyor Hub » SCP-7507 close Info X ⚠️ Content warning: This article includes nonconsensual medical treatment, ableism, educational abuse, claustrophobic situations, presumed patricide, and suicide. ⚠️ content warning Item #: SCP-7507 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7507's cadaver is to be kept in Site-17's morgue in order to ascertain whether Shift Events have ceased with its death. Once it has been confirmed, SCP-7507's request to be cremated and its ashes spread near its former home in Mayford, Tennessee is to be granted, pending approval from O5 Command. + Archived Containment Procedures - Close Archived Containment Procedures SCP-7507 is to be given conditional free roaming from its Containment Unit, on the conditions of good behavior, sticking solely to pre-approved areas, and being accompanied by at least one guard during these periods in the case of a Shift Event. Said guard(s) must maintain a distance of at least 1.5 meters from SCP-7507, to avoid being Shifted with it. To expedite its recovery after a Shift Event, SCP-7507 is fitted with a tracking device on its person at all times. SCP-7507 must be discouraged from removing the device, no matter how much discomfort it vocalizes. SCP-7507 is granted access to amenities and survival tools. However, this is on the condition that they are, respectively, reasonable requests and instrumental to its safety during Shift Events. SCP-7507 is given biweekly access to a speech therapist, as well as access to a Foundation psychologist after recuperating from its Shift Events in order to assess its mental health. SCP-7507 shall be referred to by its item designation in official documentation. When conversing with it directly, its birthname or the sobriquet "Tommy" must be used. Description: SCP-7507 is a 28-year old Caucasian human male, possessing blonde hair and green eyes, going by the name of Thomas Yaltz. SCP-7507 measures at 1.75 meters in height and 95.25 kilograms in weight. Other than an accent of indeterminate origin,1 SCP-7507 does not possess any outstanding characteristics. Psychologically, SCP-7507 possesses a moderate stutter,2 as well as symptoms consistent with Autism Spectrum Disorder, paranoia, and post-traumatic stress disorder. SCP-7507 possesses a space-temporal anomaly, that being the ability to "Shift" from this universe to another, random universe. The following information was determined over the course of its containment: SCP-7507 cannot control when it Shifts, which universe it is sent to, or how long it remains. Shift Events can occur no less than two weeks apart. During a Shift Event, anyy items on its person, or objects and/or beings it touches, are also Shifted along with SCP-7507. SCP-7507’s general spatial location is preserved during Shift Events. These facts have been taken into account with current containment procedures. Discovery: SCP-7507 was discovered on January 23rd, 2018 at Saint Christopher's Mental Institution in Mayford, Tennessee. SCP-7507 came to the Foundation's attention when a newspaper article was published about its latest escape attempt performed the previous day, after it was found in the broom closet of the local post office. As this "escape attempt" was deemed to be physically impossible, plainclothes Agents were sent to Saint Christopher's, under the guise of transporting SCP-7507 to an institution with more stringent security. Upon discovering the sub-standard conditions of Saint Christopher's Mental Institution3, amnestics were administered via aerosol, and an anonymous tip was sent to news outlets about their practices. Saint Christopher's was subsequently shut down on February 13, 2018. Addendum 01 — First psychiatric evaluation and witnessing of Shift Event: Interview conducted: February 5th, 2018 Participants: SCP-7507 and Dr. Evan Stevens, Psy.D. <Begin transcription> Dr. Stevens: I apologize for taking so long to get to you, Mr. Yaltz. Our Foundation has been a bit short on psychological staff lately, and— SCP-7507: P-please, c-call me Tommy… Dr. Stevens: Alright, Tommy, whatever makes you comfortable. How are you liking your accommodations so far? SCP-7507: It's n-nice, n-not having a bed that f-feels like it's m-made of l-lead. And w-w-with actual sheets and c-covers. I m-miss having a t-television in my room, t-though. Dr. Stevens: We'll see what we can do about getting you a TV, Tommy, but it might take a while. There's a lot of red tape we have to go through to give our patients items. SCP-7507: A-am I a patient, h-here? I've heard the other d-d-doctors call me "ess see pee f-five oh seven". Dr. Stevens: Oh, don't worry about that, Tommy. That's just your patient identification number. SCP just stands for "Special Care Patient". SCP-7507: O-okay, if you're s-sure… Dr. Stevens: I am. So, Tommy, why don't you tell me about this "teleportation" you're able to— SCP-7507: It's n-not t-teleporting. Dr. Stevens: Pardon? SCP-7507: I s-said it's not t-teleporting. Well, I-I guess it can be used for t-that. But it's really a m-more of an u-unintended side effect. Dr. Stevens: Really? Of what? SCP-7507: I… I've said too much. The doctors b-b-back at S-Saint C-Christopher's called me a r-r-ret… r-r-ret… retard whenever I tried to explain to t-them. Dr. Stevens: That's horrible, Tommy. I want you to know, neither I nor the other doctors in our Foundation will ever, ever use those words with you. You can tell me what it really is. Whatever you say to me is confidential. (SCP-7507 is silent for 20 seconds) SCP-7507: I can "s-shift" between d-dim… universes. Dr. Stevens: You can? How do you know? SCP-7507: Sometimes, the w-words don't make sense, or the people don't look like p-people, or the p-p-plants will s-s-scream at me. Dr. Stevens: I'm sorry, "the plants will scream at you"? (SCP-7507 buries its face in its hands, and begins letting out muffled sobs) SCP-7507: P-please. L-let's t-talk a-about s-something e-else. Dr. Stevens: Alright, Tommy, and I'm sorry for making you relive such a traumatic memory. Tell me, can you control where you go during these "shifts?" (SCP-7507 sniffles, and removes its head from its hands, before shaking its head) SCP-7507: N-no. It just s-sends me somewhere r-random— (SCP-7507 vanishes mid-sentence; its chair clatters to the floor) (Dr. Stevens gets up from his chair, a stricken expression on his face, pulling out his phone and dialing a number) Dr. Stevens: We've got a problem. <End transcription> See Addendum 02 for more information about documented Shifts. Addendum 02 — List of notable Shift Events, and subsequent interviews: 419-AIG-2FA Retrieval: SCP-7507 was found in its room the day after it had Shifted in front of Dr. Stevens. Description: SCP-7507 stated that it did not notice that it had Shifted at first, as Dr. Stevens was still sitting across from it as it continued speaking. It was only when Dr. Stevens vocalized confusion of who SCP-7507 was, and where it had come from, that it noticed that something was amiss. SCP-7507 was seized by this equivalent Site-17's security team, and was escorted to a Containment Unit that resembled its own, and remained there for the rest of its Shift. Requests: A tracking device and biweekly access to sessions with Dr. Stevens. Granted. Post-Shift Interview: Interview conducted: February 6th, 2018 Participants: SCP-7507 and Dr. Evan Stevens, Psy.D. <Begin transcription> Dr. Stevens: You worried all of us quite a bit, Tommy, when you Shifted. SCP-7507: S-sorry. Like I told you, I c-can't control it. Dr. Stevens: It's okay, Tommy. I'm not mad at you, none of us are mad at you. We were just afraid for your safety. SCP-7507: D-doctor, please, don't b-bull… b-bull… lie to me. Dr. Stevens: What do you mean, Tommy? SCP-7507: SCP doesn't s-stand for "Special Care Patient," does it? T-the other D-Doctor Stevens called me that, a-a-and I could just t-tell it was meant to be like I-I'm some kind of i-item. N-not a p-patient. Dr. Stevens: Tommy… SCP-7507: (stands up, slamming its fists on the table) D-DON'T TALK TO M-ME LIKE THAT! I-I can hear the c-condes… c-c-condes… patronization in your v-voice. The d-d-doctors in M-Mayford spoke like t-that to me too, when they w-weren't calling me r-r-retard. (Dr. Stevens remains silent) SCP-7507: I-I want you g-guys to help me, but the l-least you could do is be h-honest with m-m-m-me. (Dr. Stevens remains silent for 10 seconds, a conflicted look on his face, before sighing and removing his glasses) Dr. Stevens: We do want to help you, Thomas. That part wasn't a lie; but you're right. It doesn't stand for "Special Care Patient." You aren't a patient here. You're not an item, either. You're just a man with an ano— (Sound of throat clearing) a strange power that you can't control. And until our doctors can find a way to stop it from happening, we have to keep you here as best as we can to make sure the world doesn't try to hurt you. (SCP-7507 remains silent for 15 seconds, before sitting back in its chair, sighing) Dr. Stevens: Now, you're going to get that tracking device you requested. It's very durable and long-lasting, so you don't have to worry about it running out of juice. And I'll try my best to see you at least every two weeks — assuming your Shifts don't interrupt us again. We'll also be putting a TV in your room sometime in the next week. SCP-7507: T-thanks, d-d-doctor… [EXTRANEOUS CONVERSATION REMOVED] <End transcription> 94M-M4R-7Y Retrieval: Via tracking device. SCP-7507 was found outside of Site-17's entrance, with lacerations on its hands. Description: SCP-7507 found itself in a derelict classroom, the sole other person being a woman that "l-looked like my e-elementary school E-English teacher" [sic]. SCP-7507 was forced to recite "tongue twisters" without stuttering, with its hands being struck by a ruler each time it failed to do so. Eventually, after failing too many times, SCP-7507's hands started to bleed from lacerations, and so was ordered by the "teacher" to go to the Nurse's Office and then "detention". SCP-7507 left the classroom and began walking down the hallway, trying to find the Nurse's Office. However, the hallway extended for "what felt like m-miles" [sic] with no other doors in sight. SCP-7507 Shifted back just as it saw a doorway, with light emanating from it. Requests Bandages for its hands, and access to a speech therapist. Granted. 070-07N-3Y5 Retrieval: SCP-7507 was found inside Site 17's guard barracks, holding onto Security Guard Anne Bernes' shoulder and shuddering. Description: SCP-7507 and Bernes refused to elaborate on where they had ended up. Requests A weapon with which to defend itself, and a high-intensity flashlight was requested by SCP-7507. A replacement pistol was requested by Bernes. Both were granted, though SCP-7507 was given a knife and sheathe in lieu of the firearm it had requested. Post-Shift Interview: Interview conducted: June 18, 2019 Participants: SCP-7507 and Dr. Evan Stevens, Psy.D. <Begin transcription> Dr. Stevens: So, Tommy, how are you speech sessions with Doctor Michelle going? SCP-7507: P-pretty good, doctor. I'm not stammering as much as I-I used to anymore… Dr. Stevens: I'm very happy to hear that, Tommy. Now, about what happened with you and Ms. Bernes… (SCP-7507 flinches) Dr. Stevens: Now now, don't worry. I'm not going to pry about where the both of you ended up. I just want to know, were you always able to take other people with you during your Shifts? (SCP-7507 hesitates for five seconds, before slowly nodding) SCP-7507: I don't remember how I found out. Dr. Stevens: It's alright, Tommy, I understand. Now, you realize that we can't have you holding on to people whenever you— SCP-7507: I-I didn't do it on p-purpose! Dr. Stevens: No one was saying you were, Tommy. We just need you, from now on, to keep some distance from our guards and doctors, so we can prevent something like this from happening again. Okay? SCP-7507: …Y-yeah, I understand, doc. [EXTRANEOUS CONVERSATION REMOVED] <End transcription> 5K3-73T-0N5 Retrieval: Via tracking device. SCP-7507 was found in its room, curled up into a ball and hyperventilating. Description: SCP-7507 shifted while sleeping. SCP-7507 woke up inside of a large casket, finding itself unable to move its arms in order to reach its flashlight. SCP-7507 called out, in an attempt to gather someone's attention, to no avail. SCP-7507 began to experience symptoms of oxygen deprivation at this time, as it tried to conserve the little air the coffin provided. SCP-7507 panicked after discovering not only was there a skeleton to its left, but that its skull turned to look at SCP-7507. SCP-7507 Shifted back just as it heard knocking from the coffin's "roof." Requests: An oxygen mask, tank, and permission to move around the facility so that it "doesn't feel so c-cramped" [sic]. Granted, albeit with the latter only being in areas approved by the Site Director and O5 Command. 499-D4A-517 Retrieval: Via tracking device. SCP-7507 was recovered at a Serpent's Hand safehouse in St. Louis, Missouri. Description: SCP-7507 found itself in a derelict version of Site-17's facilities, with all windows covered with what appeared to be lead sheets and multiple rooms and hallways barricaded with furniture, wooden boards, and debris. SCP-7507 heard a noise from behind it, instinctively reaching for its knife and turning to face what it presumed to be a hostile entity, only to find itself caught off guard when facing another version of itself. This other version told the other to put its knife away, as it meant it no harm, with SCP-7507 reluctantly complying. Upon noting that the other version of it was dressed in different clothing than it, the other SCP-7507 laughed, stating that it got told that "a lot." The other version explained that, unlike our SCP-7507, it had been retrieved from St. Christopher's by the Serpent's Hand, and had been tasked with cataloguing what it called "Branches" from "Yggdrasil," as its version of the Hand had been cut off from the Ways by the Global Occult Coalition. Asking what was going on in the world they'd ended up in, the other SCP-7507 explained that "something" had happened to a majority of the population, that caused them to attack others indiscriminately and vaporize them with "pure heat" coming out from their mouths. It further explained that these "heat blasts" did not affect anything lined with lead. Upon stating that neither of them had lead on their person, the other SCP-7507 shook his head and stated that it wouldn't be necessary, as it'd found that the Ways were still operational in this universe. It demonstrated to SCP-7507 by opening a Way in Site-17's breakroom, which led them to a "crowded as hell" house with other Serpent's Hand members. Both SCP-7507s remained at the house for the duration of ours' Shift, which lasted for three weeks. Requests See post-shift interview. Post-Shift interview Interview conducted: October 12th, 2019 Participants: SCP-7507 and Dr. Evan Stevens, Psy.D. <Begin transcription> Dr. Stevens: You told the other Doctors you met another version of yourself, is that correct, Tommy? SCP-7507: Yes… Well, it's the first time I've met one in person. Dr. Stevens: Oh? SCP-7507: Occasionally, when I shifted, I had people or… b-beings act like they recognized me. Some of them even greeted me like I was an old f-friend. I guess there's even more versions of me out there than just the one I met. (SCP-7507 pauses, then sighs) SCP-7507: Please, Doc. Don't let any other versions of me that might show up get hurt. I know you've all been treating me well, but— Dr. Stevens: You don't need to say any more, Tommy. I'll put in a word with the Site Director, and make sure your request is heard. [EXTRANEOUS CONVERSATION REMOVED] <End transcription> Post Scriptum: SCP-7507's request is pending approval from O5 command. 834-VT1-FV7 Retrieval: This Shift was the longest documented by the Foundation, with SCP-7507 remaining out of this reality from January 2nd, 2020 to February 9th, 2023. SCP-7507 was rediscovered via tracking device, sobbing uncontrollably in a family's home in Utica, New York, necessitating the usage of Class-B amnestics and the cover story of a home burglary during recovery. Description: SCP-7507 found itself sitting on a bench in a park, with no one remarking on its sudden appearance. As SCP-7507 was dressed in plainclothes for unrelated reasons, it felt comfortable getting up and trying to discern any differences between this reality and ours. After gaining access to a library computer terminal, SCP-7507 discovered that the reality it had ended up in was the result of a Broken Masquerade scenario initiated by GOI-5869 "Gamers Against Weed" that resulted in the dissolution of all Normalcy Agencies and Marshall, Carter, and Dark. Subsequently, all anomalies in containment by the Foundation were given to the Serpent's Hand, and the remaining Groups of Interest went public. SCP-7507 had just logged off of the terminal, when it bumped into "the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." After apologies were exchanged, the woman offered to buy SCP-7507 a coffee as recompense. She and SCP-7507 subsequently "hit it off" at a nearby Starbucks. SCP-7507 described the rest of its time Shifted in broad strokes, detailing how it and the woman, named Sarah, began dating as it acquired a custodial job at the Starbucks they'd met at, eventually leading to it proposing to her, marrying her, and moving to Utica, New York to buy a house for themselves and their expectant child. SCP-7507 shifted in the middle of having dinner with its wife and daughter. Requests: A pencil and paper so that it could sketch its wife in the reality "in order to not forget them" and a way for it to go back to the reality it was in and stay there. The former was granted; the latter was denied with the explanation that it was not within the Foundation's power. Addendum 03 — Final post-Shift interview: After initially refusing to speak with them or any other staff members, SCP-7507 finally requested to meet with Dr. Stevens 6 days after its Shift. Interview conducted: February 15th, 2023 Participants: SCP-7507 and Dr. Evan Stevens, Psy.D. <Begin transcription> Dr. Stevens: Tommy, I want to start off by saying that, as a husband and father myself, you have my deepest sympathies. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through, right now— SCP-7507: Doctor, I don't need your pity. I wanted to talk to you because, as I was sketching Sarah, I remembered something. Dr. Stevens: What did you remember, Tommy? (SCP-7507's breathing hitches, before it swallows) SCP-7507: That place… where Ms. Bernes and I ended up in… I've been there before. Dr. Stevens: What was it— SCP-7507: P-please, let me finish. (sighs) It was when I was fifteen years old, and I had an argument with my father about… something or the other. It doesn't matter. I'd grabbed onto his shoulder, wanting to just scream in his face, when… (SCP-7507 starts sniffling) SCP-7507: W-when the both of us S-Shifted. (Dr. Stevens can almost inaudibly be heard speaking "SCP-7507's regressing" into his earpiece.) SCP-7507: The p-place we ended up in looked like that old iron factory my d-dad used to w-work in. B-but it was completely f-filled with smog, a-and we could hear g-gears grinding all around us. I-I t-t-think the iron works were a-a-angry at us being there. My d-dad was f-freaking out at me, a-asking where we were and w-what I d-d-did. I couldn't answer him. I d-didn't k-k-know at the time, e-either. S-suddenly, s-s-some thing came down from the c-ceiling, and s-snatched my d-dad away. I-I could h-hear his s-screams even as he became j-just a dot, until I h-heard….I h-h-heard… (SCP-7507 begins to sob openly) SCP-7507: o-oh G-G-G-G-God, I…I m-mur… m-m-mur… KILLED my d-d-d-dad. Dr. Stevens: No. No, Tommy, it wasn't you that killed him. You couldn't have known— SCP-7507: P-PLEASE, S-STOP T-TALKING! (Deep breaths, then sighs) When I came back, I t-tried to explain to my m-mom what had happened, but s-s-s-ss-she wouldn't listen to a w-word I'd say, s-screaming at me to t-tell her what I'd done to my d-dad. No m-matter how many times I t-told her the truth, she just got a-angrier and a-a-angrier, until she called the p-p-police and they shipped me off to S-Saint C-Christopher's. They s-sho…. s-s-sho… zapped me so many times there, I just… f-forgot almost everything that had happened before I was a-admitted. When I e-ended up there again with M-Miss Bernes, I just… f-froze up. I-it was like m-my body r-remembered what had h-happened there, even if my m-m-mind didn't. O-one of those things came down, a-and tried to g-grab the both of us, but Miss Bernes managed to sh-shoot at it before it could, until it s-stopped moving. B-but more of them came down from the c-ceiling, and w-we had to r-run. E-even though I could barely get my l-legs to move, I ended up s-sprinting with her until I t-thought my h-heart would g-give up. Eventually, one of those things g-grabbed onto Miss B-Bernes, a-and I did the o-only thing I could t-think of. I r-ran and shoved her out of its g-gra… g-g-gra… hold, b-but we ended up l-losing her gun. W-we shifted back just as I p-pulled her up onto her f-feet. (SCP-7507 falls silent, save for quiet sniffling) Dr. Stevens: I'm sorry about what happened to your father, Tommy… We don't have to continue this session tonight, if you don't feel like it. I can tell that telling me this has taken quite a lot out of you. SCP-7507: Y-yeah, that… that might be for the b-best… Dr. Stevens: Go ahead and get some rest, Tommy. We can pick back up tomorrow morning. SCP-7507: Y-yeah, s-sure… T-t-thank you, D-Doctor S-S-Stevens. For e-everything. (SCP-7507 gets up from its chair, and is shortly thereafter escorted to its room.) <End transcription> Addendum 04 — Neutralization of SCP-7507: On the morning of February 16th, 2023, SCP-7507's guards heard its tracking device flatline. After breaching the door to its room, SCP-7507 was discovered lifeless on its bed, having punctured its own neck with its pencil and bled out. Laid next to its body were two pieces of paper, one of which read "PLEASE TAKE MY ASHES HOME", and the other "IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, DOCTOR". SCP-7507 was tentatively declared Neutralized, while its body was transferred to Site-17's morgue until its last request could be approved. Dr. Stevens requested his resignation from the Foundation, with amnestic treatment. This request is pending approval. Addendum 05 — Post-neutralization Development: On February 18th, 2023, the motion detector in Site-17's morgue registered movement outside of working hours. Security staff were deployed, finding that SCP-7507's cabinet had been opened, with a single card placed upon its chest. The contents of this card are reproduced below: I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, Tommy. - H The identity of this "H" is currently unknown. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7507" by newnykacolaquantum, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-7507 | neutralized | Not all Hoppers make it. Yggdrasil's Surveyor Hub » SCP-7507 close Info X ⚠️ Content warning: This article includes nonconsensual medical treatment, ableism, educational abuse, claustrophobic situations, presumed patricide, and suicide. ⚠️ content warning Item #: SCP-7507 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7507's cadaver is to be kept in Site-17's morgue in order to ascertain whether Shift Events have ceased with its death. Once it has been confirmed, SCP-7507's request to be cremated and its ashes spread near its former home in Mayford, Tennessee is to be granted, pending approval from O5 Command. + Archived Containment Procedures - Close Archived Containment Procedures SCP-7507 is to be given conditional free roaming from its Containment Unit, on the conditions of good behavior, sticking solely to pre-approved areas, and being accompanied by at least one guard during these periods in the case of a Shift Event. Said guard(s) must maintain a distance of at least 1.5 meters from SCP-7507, to avoid being Shifted with it. To expedite its recovery after a Shift Event, SCP-7507 is fitted with a tracking device on its person at all times. SCP-7507 must be discouraged from removing the device, no matter how much discomfort it vocalizes. SCP-7507 is granted access to amenities and survival tools. However, this is on the condition that they are, respectively, reasonable requests and instrumental to its safety during Shift Events. SCP-7507 is given biweekly access to a speech therapist, as well as access to a Foundation psychologist after recuperating from its Shift Events in order to assess its mental health. SCP-7507 shall be referred to by its item designation in official documentation. When conversing with it directly, its birthname or the sobriquet "Tommy" must be used. Description: SCP-7507 is a 28-year old Caucasian human male, possessing blonde hair and green eyes, going by the name of Thomas Yaltz. SCP-7507 measures at 1.75 meters in height and 95.25 kilograms in weight. Other than an accent of indeterminate origin,1 SCP-7507 does not possess any outstanding characteristics. Psychologically, SCP-7507 possesses a moderate stutter,2 as well as symptoms consistent with Autism Spectrum Disorder, paranoia, and post-traumatic stress disorder. SCP-7507 possesses a space-temporal anomaly, that being the ability to "Shift" from this universe to another, random universe. The following information was determined over the course of its containment: SCP-7507 cannot control when it Shifts, which universe it is sent to, or how long it remains. Shift Events can occur no less than two weeks apart. During a Shift Event, anyy items on its person, or objects and/or beings it touches, are also Shifted along with SCP-7507. SCP-7507’s general spatial location is preserved during Shift Events. These facts have been taken into account with current containment procedures. Discovery: SCP-7507 was discovered on January 23rd, 2018 at Saint Christopher's Mental Institution in Mayford, Tennessee. SCP-7507 came to the Foundation's attention when a newspaper article was published about its latest escape attempt performed the previous day, after it was found in the broom closet of the local post office. As this "escape attempt" was deemed to be physically impossible, plainclothes Agents were sent to Saint Christopher's, under the guise of transporting SCP-7507 to an institution with more stringent security. Upon discovering the sub-standard conditions of Saint Christopher's Mental Institution3, amnestics were administered via aerosol, and an anonymous tip was sent to news outlets about their practices. Saint Christopher's was subsequently shut down on February 13, 2018. Addendum 01 — First psychiatric evaluation and witnessing of Shift Event: Interview conducted: February 5th, 2018 Participants: SCP-7507 and Dr. Evan Stevens, Psy.D. <Begin transcription> Dr. Stevens: I apologize for taking so long to get to you, Mr. Yaltz. Our Foundation has been a bit short on psychological staff lately, and— SCP-7507: P-please, c-call me Tommy… Dr. Stevens: Alright, Tommy, whatever makes you comfortable. How are you liking your accommodations so far? SCP-7507: It's n-nice, n-not having a bed that f-feels like it's m-made of l-lead. And w-w-with actual sheets and c-covers. I m-miss having a t-television in my room, t-though. Dr. Stevens: We'll see what we can do about getting you a TV, Tommy, but it might take a while. There's a lot of red tape we have to go through to give our patients items. SCP-7507: A-am I a patient, h-here? I've heard the other d-d-doctors call me "ess see pee f-five oh seven". Dr. Stevens: Oh, don't worry about that, Tommy. That's just your patient identification number. SCP just stands for "Special Care Patient". SCP-7507: O-okay, if you're s-sure… Dr. Stevens: I am. So, Tommy, why don't you tell me about this "teleportation" you're able to— SCP-7507: It's n-not t-teleporting. Dr. Stevens: Pardon? SCP-7507: I s-said it's not t-teleporting. Well, I-I guess it can be used for t-that. But it's really a m-more of an u-unintended side effect. Dr. Stevens: Really? Of what? SCP-7507: I… I've said too much. The doctors b-b-back at S-Saint C-Christopher's called me a r-r-ret… r-r-ret… retard whenever I tried to explain to t-them. Dr. Stevens: That's horrible, Tommy. I want you to know, neither I nor the other doctors in our Foundation will ever, ever use those words with you. You can tell me what it really is. Whatever you say to me is confidential. (SCP-7507 is silent for 20 seconds) SCP-7507: I can "s-shift" between d-dim… universes. Dr. Stevens: You can? How do you know? SCP-7507: Sometimes, the w-words don't make sense, or the people don't look like p-people, or the p-p-plants will s-s-scream at me. Dr. Stevens: I'm sorry, "the plants will scream at you"? (SCP-7507 buries its face in its hands, and begins letting out muffled sobs) SCP-7507: P-please. L-let's t-talk a-about s-something e-else. Dr. Stevens: Alright, Tommy, and I'm sorry for making you relive such a traumatic memory. Tell me, can you control where you go during these "shifts?" (SCP-7507 sniffles, and removes its head from its hands, before shaking its head) SCP-7507: N-no. It just s-sends me somewhere r-random— (SCP-7507 vanishes mid-sentence; its chair clatters to the floor) (Dr. Stevens gets up from his chair, a stricken expression on his face, pulling out his phone and dialing a number) Dr. Stevens: We've got a problem. <End transcription> See Addendum 02 for more information about documented Shifts. Addendum 02 — List of notable Shift Events, and subsequent interviews: 419-AIG-2FA Retrieval: SCP-7507 was found in its room the day after it had Shifted in front of Dr. Stevens. Description: SCP-7507 stated that it did not notice that it had Shifted at first, as Dr. Stevens was still sitting across from it as it continued speaking. It was only when Dr. Stevens vocalized confusion of who SCP-7507 was, and where it had come from, that it noticed that something was amiss. SCP-7507 was seized by this equivalent Site-17's security team, and was escorted to a Containment Unit that resembled its own, and remained there for the rest of its Shift. Requests: A tracking device and biweekly access to sessions with Dr. Stevens. Granted. Post-Shift Interview: Interview conducted: February 6th, 2018 Participants: SCP-7507 and Dr. Evan Stevens, Psy.D. <Begin transcription> Dr. Stevens: You worried all of us quite a bit, Tommy, when you Shifted. SCP-7507: S-sorry. Like I told you, I c-can't control it. Dr. Stevens: It's okay, Tommy. I'm not mad at you, none of us are mad at you. We were just afraid for your safety. SCP-7507: D-doctor, please, don't b-bull… b-bull… lie to me. Dr. Stevens: What do you mean, Tommy? SCP-7507: SCP doesn't s-stand for "Special Care Patient," does it? T-the other D-Doctor Stevens called me that, a-a-and I could just t-tell it was meant to be like I-I'm some kind of i-item. N-not a p-patient. Dr. Stevens: Tommy… SCP-7507: (stands up, slamming its fists on the table) D-DON'T TALK TO M-ME LIKE THAT! I-I can hear the c-condes… c-c-condes… patronization in your v-voice. The d-d-doctors in M-Mayford spoke like t-that to me too, when they w-weren't calling me r-r-retard. (Dr. Stevens remains silent) SCP-7507: I-I want you g-guys to help me, but the l-least you could do is be h-honest with m-m-m-me. (Dr. Stevens remains silent for 10 seconds, a conflicted look on his face, before sighing and removing his glasses) Dr. Stevens: We do want to help you, Thomas. That part wasn't a lie; but you're right. It doesn't stand for "Special Care Patient." You aren't a patient here. You're not an item, either. You're just a man with an ano— (Sound of throat clearing) a strange power that you can't control. And until our doctors can find a way to stop it from happening, we have to keep you here as best as we can to make sure the world doesn't try to hurt you. (SCP-7507 remains silent for 15 seconds, before sitting back in its chair, sighing) Dr. Stevens: Now, you're going to get that tracking device you requested. It's very durable and long-lasting, so you don't have to worry about it running out of juice. And I'll try my best to see you at least every two weeks — assuming your Shifts don't interrupt us again. We'll also be putting a TV in your room sometime in the next week. SCP-7507: T-thanks, d-d-doctor… [EXTRANEOUS CONVERSATION REMOVED] <End transcription> 94M-M4R-7Y Retrieval: Via tracking device. SCP-7507 was found outside of Site-17's entrance, with lacerations on its hands. Description: SCP-7507 found itself in a derelict classroom, the sole other person being a woman that "l-looked like my e-elementary school E-English teacher" [sic]. SCP-7507 was forced to recite "tongue twisters" without stuttering, with its hands being struck by a ruler each time it failed to do so. Eventually, after failing too many times, SCP-7507's hands started to bleed from lacerations, and so was ordered by the "teacher" to go to the Nurse's Office and then "detention". SCP-7507 left the classroom and began walking down the hallway, trying to find the Nurse's Office. However, the hallway extended for "what felt like m-miles" [sic] with no other doors in sight. SCP-7507 Shifted back just as it saw a doorway, with light emanating from it. Requests Bandages for its hands, and access to a speech therapist. Granted. 070-07N-3Y5 Retrieval: SCP-7507 was found inside Site 17's guard barracks, holding onto Security Guard Anne Bernes' shoulder and shuddering. Description: SCP-7507 and Bernes refused to elaborate on where they had ended up. Requests A weapon with which to defend itself, and a high-intensity flashlight was requested by SCP-7507. A replacement pistol was requested by Bernes. Both were granted, though SCP-7507 was given a knife and sheathe in lieu of the firearm it had requested. Post-Shift Interview: Interview conducted: June 18, 2019 Participants: SCP-7507 and Dr. Evan Stevens, Psy.D. <Begin transcription> Dr. Stevens: So, Tommy, how are you speech sessions with Doctor Michelle going? SCP-7507: P-pretty good, doctor. I'm not stammering as much as I-I used to anymore… Dr. Stevens: I'm very happy to hear that, Tommy. Now, about what happened with you and Ms. Bernes… (SCP-7507 flinches) Dr. Stevens: Now now, don't worry. I'm not going to pry about where the both of you ended up. I just want to know, were you always able to take other people with you during your Shifts? (SCP-7507 hesitates for five seconds, before slowly nodding) SCP-7507: I don't remember how I found out. Dr. Stevens: It's alright, Tommy, I understand. Now, you realize that we can't have you holding on to people whenever you— SCP-7507: I-I didn't do it on p-purpose! Dr. Stevens: No one was saying you were, Tommy. We just need you, from now on, to keep some distance from our guards and doctors, so we can prevent something like this from happening again. Okay? SCP-7507: …Y-yeah, I understand, doc. [EXTRANEOUS CONVERSATION REMOVED] <End transcription> 5K3-73T-0N5 Retrieval: Via tracking device. SCP-7507 was found in its room, curled up into a ball and hyperventilating. Description: SCP-7507 shifted while sleeping. SCP-7507 woke up inside of a large casket, finding itself unable to move its arms in order to reach its flashlight. SCP-7507 called out, in an attempt to gather someone's attention, to no avail. SCP-7507 began to experience symptoms of oxygen deprivation at this time, as it tried to conserve the little air the coffin provided. SCP-7507 panicked after discovering not only was there a skeleton to its left, but that its skull turned to look at SCP-7507. SCP-7507 Shifted back just as it heard knocking from the coffin's "roof." Requests: An oxygen mask, tank, and permission to move around the facility so that it "doesn't feel so c-cramped" [sic]. Granted, albeit with the latter only being in areas approved by the Site Director and O5 Command. 499-D4A-517 Retrieval: Via tracking device. SCP-7507 was recovered at a Serpent's Hand safehouse in St. Louis, Missouri. Description: SCP-7507 found itself in a derelict version of Site-17's facilities, with all windows covered with what appeared to be lead sheets and multiple rooms and hallways barricaded with furniture, wooden boards, and debris. SCP-7507 heard a noise from behind it, instinctively reaching for its knife and turning to face what it presumed to be a hostile entity, only to find itself caught off guard when facing another version of itself. This other version told the other to put its knife away, as it meant it no harm, with SCP-7507 reluctantly complying. Upon noting that the other version of it was dressed in different clothing than it, the other SCP-7507 laughed, stating that it got told that "a lot." The other version explained that, unlike our SCP-7507, it had been retrieved from St. Christopher's by the Serpent's Hand, and had been tasked with cataloguing what it called "Branches" from "Yggdrasil," as its version of the Hand had been cut off from the Ways by the Global Occult Coalition. Asking what was going on in the world they'd ended up in, the other SCP-7507 explained that "something" had happened to a majority of the population, that caused them to attack others indiscriminately and vaporize them with "pure heat" coming out from their mouths. It further explained that these "heat blasts" did not affect anything lined with lead. Upon stating that neither of them had lead on their person, the other SCP-7507 shook his head and stated that it wouldn't be necessary, as it'd found that the Ways were still operational in this universe. It demonstrated to SCP-7507 by opening a Way in Site-17's breakroom, which led them to a "crowded as hell" house with other Serpent's Hand members. Both SCP-7507s remained at the house for the duration of ours' Shift, which lasted for three weeks. Requests See post-shift interview. Post-Shift interview Interview conducted: October 12th, 2019 Participants: SCP-7507 and Dr. Evan Stevens, Psy.D. <Begin transcription> Dr. Stevens: You told the other Doctors you met another version of yourself, is that correct, Tommy? SCP-7507: Yes… Well, it's the first time I've met one in person. Dr. Stevens: Oh? SCP-7507: Occasionally, when I shifted, I had people or… b-beings act like they recognized me. Some of them even greeted me like I was an old f-friend. I guess there's even more versions of me out there than just the one I met. (SCP-7507 pauses, then sighs) SCP-7507: Please, Doc. Don't let any other versions of me that might show up get hurt. I know you've all been treating me well, but— Dr. Stevens: You don't need to say any more, Tommy. I'll put in a word with the Site Director, and make sure your request is heard. [EXTRANEOUS CONVERSATION REMOVED] <End transcription> Post Scriptum: SCP-7507's request is pending approval from O5 command. 834-VT1-FV7 Retrieval: This Shift was the longest documented by the Foundation, with SCP-7507 remaining out of this reality from January 2nd, 2020 to February 9th, 2023. SCP-7507 was rediscovered via tracking device, sobbing uncontrollably in a family's home in Utica, New York, necessitating the usage of Class-B amnestics and the cover story of a home burglary during recovery. Description: SCP-7507 found itself sitting on a bench in a park, with no one remarking on its sudden appearance. As SCP-7507 was dressed in plainclothes for unrelated reasons, it felt comfortable getting up and trying to discern any differences between this reality and ours. After gaining access to a library computer terminal, SCP-7507 discovered that the reality it had ended up in was the result of a Broken Masquerade scenario initiated by GOI-5869 "Gamers Against Weed" that resulted in the dissolution of all Normalcy Agencies and Marshall, Carter, and Dark. Subsequently, all anomalies in containment by the Foundation were given to the Serpent's Hand, and the remaining Groups of Interest went public. SCP-7507 had just logged off of the terminal, when it bumped into "the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." After apologies were exchanged, the woman offered to buy SCP-7507 a coffee as recompense. She and SCP-7507 subsequently "hit it off" at a nearby Starbucks. SCP-7507 described the rest of its time Shifted in broad strokes, detailing how it and the woman, named Sarah, began dating as it acquired a custodial job at the Starbucks they'd met at, eventually leading to it proposing to her, marrying her, and moving to Utica, New York to buy a house for themselves and their expectant child. SCP-7507 shifted in the middle of having dinner with its wife and daughter. Requests: A pencil and paper so that it could sketch its wife in the reality "in order to not forget them" and a way for it to go back to the reality it was in and stay there. The former was granted; the latter was denied with the explanation that it was not within the Foundation's power. Addendum 03 — Final post-Shift interview: After initially refusing to speak with them or any other staff members, SCP-7507 finally requested to meet with Dr. Stevens 6 days after its Shift. Interview conducted: February 15th, 2023 Participants: SCP-7507 and Dr. Evan Stevens, Psy.D. <Begin transcription> Dr. Stevens: Tommy, I want to start off by saying that, as a husband and father myself, you have my deepest sympathies. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through, right now— SCP-7507: Doctor, I don't need your pity. I wanted to talk to you because, as I was sketching Sarah, I remembered something. Dr. Stevens: What did you remember, Tommy? (SCP-7507's breathing hitches, before it swallows) SCP-7507: That place… where Ms. Bernes and I ended up in… I've been there before. Dr. Stevens: What was it— SCP-7507: P-please, let me finish. (sighs) It was when I was fifteen years old, and I had an argument with my father about… something or the other. It doesn't matter. I'd grabbed onto his shoulder, wanting to just scream in his face, when… (SCP-7507 starts sniffling) SCP-7507: W-when the both of us S-Shifted. (Dr. Stevens can almost inaudibly be heard speaking "SCP-7507's regressing" into his earpiece.) SCP-7507: The p-place we ended up in looked like that old iron factory my d-dad used to w-work in. B-but it was completely f-filled with smog, a-and we could hear g-gears grinding all around us. I-I t-t-think the iron works were a-a-angry at us being there. My d-dad was f-freaking out at me, a-asking where we were and w-what I d-d-did. I couldn't answer him. I d-didn't k-k-know at the time, e-either. S-suddenly, s-s-some thing came down from the c-ceiling, and s-snatched my d-dad away. I-I could h-hear his s-screams even as he became j-just a dot, until I h-heard….I h-h-heard… (SCP-7507 begins to sob openly) SCP-7507: o-oh G-G-G-G-God, I…I m-mur… m-m-mur… KILLED my d-d-d-dad. Dr. Stevens: No. No, Tommy, it wasn't you that killed him. You couldn't have known— SCP-7507: P-PLEASE, S-STOP T-TALKING! (Deep breaths, then sighs) When I came back, I t-tried to explain to my m-mom what had happened, but s-s-s-ss-she wouldn't listen to a w-word I'd say, s-screaming at me to t-tell her what I'd done to my d-dad. No m-matter how many times I t-told her the truth, she just got a-angrier and a-a-angrier, until she called the p-p-police and they shipped me off to S-Saint C-Christopher's. They s-sho…. s-s-sho… zapped me so many times there, I just… f-forgot almost everything that had happened before I was a-admitted. When I e-ended up there again with M-Miss Bernes, I just… f-froze up. I-it was like m-my body r-remembered what had h-happened there, even if my m-m-mind didn't. O-one of those things came down, a-and tried to g-grab the both of us, but Miss Bernes managed to sh-shoot at it before it could, until it s-stopped moving. B-but more of them came down from the c-ceiling, and w-we had to r-run. E-even though I could barely get my l-legs to move, I ended up s-sprinting with her until I t-thought my h-heart would g-give up. Eventually, one of those things g-grabbed onto Miss B-Bernes, a-and I did the o-only thing I could t-think of. I r-ran and shoved her out of its g-gra… g-g-gra… hold, b-but we ended up l-losing her gun. W-we shifted back just as I p-pulled her up onto her f-feet. (SCP-7507 falls silent, save for quiet sniffling) Dr. Stevens: I'm sorry about what happened to your father, Tommy… We don't have to continue this session tonight, if you don't feel like it. I can tell that telling me this has taken quite a lot out of you. SCP-7507: Y-yeah, that… that might be for the b-best… Dr. Stevens: Go ahead and get some rest, Tommy. We can pick back up tomorrow morning. SCP-7507: Y-yeah, s-sure… T-t-thank you, D-Doctor S-S-Stevens. For e-everything. (SCP-7507 gets up from its chair, and is shortly thereafter escorted to its room.) <End transcription> Addendum 04 — Neutralization of SCP-7507: On the morning of February 16th, 2023, SCP-7507's guards heard its tracking device flatline. After breaching the door to its room, SCP-7507 was discovered lifeless on its bed, having punctured its own neck with its pencil and bled out. Laid next to its body were two pieces of paper, one of which read "PLEASE TAKE MY ASHES HOME", and the other "IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, DOCTOR". SCP-7507 was tentatively declared Neutralized, while its body was transferred to Site-17's morgue until its last request could be approved. Dr. Stevens requested his resignation from the Foundation, with amnestic treatment. This request is pending approval. Addendum 05 — Post-neutralization Development: On February 18th, 2023, the motion detector in Site-17's morgue registered movement outside of working hours. Security staff were deployed, finding that SCP-7507's cabinet had been opened, with a single card placed upon its chest. The contents of this card are reproduced below: I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, Tommy. - H The identity of this "H" is currently unknown. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7507" by newnykacolaquantum, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-7508 | keter | by fabuIa Item #: SCP-7508 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-7508, containment is focused on reducing knowledge and effects for the global population. Sporadic funding of programs, initiatives, media etc. which support alternate explanations for SCP-7508's effects is to continue indefinitely. Past and current examples include research into Paranoid Personality Disorder, commercial surveillance technology and advertisements for The Lord of the Rings series. All instances of SCP-7508 being identified (within or outside the Foundation) are to be suppressed by whichever means are deemed appropriate. Testing is indefinitely halted. Description: SCP-7508 is the eye that watches you. SCP-7508 is an ontological constant which affects all objects the category "you" is capable of including. Affected subjects are universally aware of SCP-7508, but regularly give explanations for its existence other than ontological necessity. Initially, effects consist of an undefined feeling of being watched. In almost all cases, this feeling is attributed to everyday instances of being seen. In some cases, more elaborate explanations such as social anxiety are employed by affected subjects. When left unexplained or given an explanation similar to ontological necessity1, SCP-7508 becomes increasingly reified. Paranoid feelings grow in intensity and occurrence, but without or without connection to hallucination. At a variable point, SCP-7508 becomes visible to an affected subject. A disembodied eye. Manifestations begin in peripheral vision, but become more central as increased mental attention is given. Effects of SCP-7508 are irreversible; treatments such as amnestics or therapy can slow or stop spread in early stages, but become pointless once SCP-7508 is visible to a subject. In almost all cases, SCP-7508 induces rapid mental decline, which is believed to be non-anomalous. SCP-7508 was discovered through the Foundation's investigation of research on paranoiacs. While psychiatrists interviewed remained psychologically normal, a large number of Foundation staff reported paranoid ideas and behaviours. Under intense observation, paranoia was found to either cease entirely2, or transform into hallucinations of a flying eye. It was described as "the eye that watches you." At first, SCP-7508 was understood as the result of an anomalous germ responsible for paranoia, but this was disproven through the rapid development of SCP-7508 symptoms in all personnel that read the SCP-7508 file. By 1911, the current consensus around SCP-7508 was formed. SCP-7508 is the eye that watches you. SCP-7508 is abnormally large, measuring approximately one foot in diameter. It is stable despite the lack of pressure non-anomalous eyes require to keep their shape. The iris is a deep brown. SCP-7508 has too many veins. SCP-7508 can be touched. It feels icy, but it feels like nothing when pushed into. It has no substance. SCP-7508 moves closer and farther, bobbing. However, it is always in sight. SCP-7508 must be seen. SCP-7508 is never contingent. It must be there. When you close your eyes, SCP-7508 is still in view. No sleep is dreamless anymore. It is the eye that watches you, unendingly. Footnotes 1. I.e. the belief that "everyone is watching me." 2. Now believed to be the result of paranoid beliefs getting validated. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7508" by fabuIa, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-7509 | neutralized | To: Ethics Committee Member Lilian Vance From: Ethics Committee Automated Scheduling System Subject: Proposal 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN02 Briefing Lilian Vance, You have been randomly selected for the Ethics Committee Roundtable for voting on the following proposal: + Proposal 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN02 - Proposal 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN02 Submission Date: 1993-08-14 Submitted By: SCP-7509 Head Researcher & Biological Research & Quarantine Site-279 Director Avery Jackson Regarding: SCP-7509, Operation Smokescreen Proposal: The immediate termination of all activities related to Operation Smokescreen, and the creation of a secondary project to begin the immediate reversal of its effects on the world at large Justification: Operation Smokescreen has caused worldwide destructive effects, resulting in an estimated 100,000 deaths due to non-anomalous weather-related disasters since its implementation in 1972. Due to advancements made in medical science since SCP-7509's initial containment, these measures can no longer be justified as the price of containment. This roundtable is scheduled for 1993-08-25 at 15:00 Foundation Coordinated Time in Ethics Committee Site-405 Conference Room G8. This proposal has been linked to the following SCP Object(s): + SCP-7509 - SCP-7509 Item#: 7509 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: danger link to memo Special Containment Procedures: Foundation staff are to monitor medical literature and hospital records for mention of SCP-7509 or any patients reported to have symptoms consistent with its infection. Infected subjects are to be detained and quarantined at the nearest Foundation facility suitable for this purpose. Witnesses aware of the nature of infection are to be amnesticized. Close relations to the infected subject, such as friends and family, are to be told that they have developed a highly infectious respiratory disease and are currently undergoing intensive treatment at Foundation front corporation Sympathetic Care Providers. If necessary, amnestics may be administered to these individuals as well. Treatment of SCP-7509 infection is to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Any individuals quarantined while still in Stage 1 infection are to be administered active carbon pills twice daily. If a previously infected individual has been free of SCP-7509 for a continuous period of six months, they may be amnesticized and released, with monitoring at regular intervals for potential recurrence. The remains of subjects killed by SCP-7509 infection are to be incinerated unless saved for testing. Family and other individuals with power of attorney may receive the incinerated remains upon request. All Foundation facilities with sealed atmospheric regulatory systems are to maintain internal carbon dioxide levels of 350 parts per million or higher. All Foundation personnel have been placed on daily regimens of active carbon pills to prevent infection. All facilities in which testing of SCP-7509 or quarantining of infected individuals is performed are to observe BSL-4 precautions at all times, including airflow maintenance, issuance of positive-pressure suits to all personnel, and the use of Class III Biosafety Cabinets to house infected subjects or samples of SCP-7509. Worldwide attempts at containment of SCP-7509 are ongoing per Operation Smokescreen. Further information is restricted to personnel with 7509/4 clearance. Description: SCP-7509 is a highly infectious fungal parasite that primarily affects human hosts. The structure of SCP-7509's cells appears to rely on a series of nitrogen-based molecules that do not comply with normal laws of biochemistry. Several of these molecules are identical to those characteristic of SCP-7815; research into a possible shared origin has been suggested, but placed on hold due to the higher priority task of research into a cure for infection. SCP-7509 infection begins when a host breathes in the anomaly's spores (designated SCP-7509-1), and proceeds in three distinct stages. SCP-7509 Infection Progression Stage 1 Not yet able to transmit infection; outward symptoms could be mistaken for upper respiratory infections Formation of hemispherical growths roughly 5 millimeters in diameter (designated SCP-7509-2) along the walls of the subject's trachea. SCP-7509-2 are microporous, and their inside surface is coated with a nitrogenous adsorbent similar in structure to the aluminosilicate zeolite.1 The theorized purpose of SCP-7509-2 is to filter carbon-based gases out of the subject's respiratory system in order to create an environment more hospitable to further infection. Soreness of the throat Coughing Shortness of breath Most easily detected by testing of a sample acquired by tracheal swab Stage 2 Replacement of the alveolar walls2 with a semipermeable membrane (SCP-7509-3). SCP-7509-3 allows the parasite to absorb nutrients directly from the host's bloodstream. Formation of firm stalks in the lower lungs roughly 20mm long (SCP-7509-4) which function as the anomaly's sporangia,3 continuously producing and releasing SCP-7509-1 Difficulty breathing, in some cases requiring intubation or other assisted ventilation Hemoptysis4 The most decisive method of testing for Stage 2 SCP-7509 infection is through lung biopsy, but less invasive blood draws, tracheal swabs, and breathalyzers5 have proven effective, albeit with greater risk of false negative results Stage 3 Tumorous growths with no discernible purpose (SCP-7509-5) throughout the subject's body Severe bloating from SCP-7509-5, in turn leading to internal bruising and bleeding, especially of vital organs, as they begin to scrape against the ribcage and spinal column In 95% of cases, death occurs within two weeks of progression to Stage 3 infection. This results from the aforementioned internal bleeding combined with continued difficulty breathing and the infection's draw of vital nutrients from the body.6 Readily apparent by observation, but can be verified by the same tests as Stage 2 infection Research into treatment for SCP-7509 infection is ongoing at Biological Research & Quarantine Site-279, led by Dr. Melinda Jackson and Dr. Avery Jackson. It has been proven that SCP-7509 infection is incapable of advancing in environments with mildly higher presence of carbon-based molecules,7 leading to SCP-7509's current containment procedures. Surgical extraction, in combination with targeted cryotherapy and chemotherapy, have proven effective at removing SCP-7509-2, SCP-7509-3, and SCP-7509-4, effectively reverting infection to early Stage 1, where it can then be effectively "frozen" with active carbon ingestion. However, due to the proximity of SCP-7509 structures to vital respiratory organs, this treatment is difficult to perform, and logistically difficult to implement globally. Additionally, the microscopic nature of SCP-7509-1 means it is often difficult to completely cure any infected individual, and the majority of SCP-7509 infections recur within four months or less of treatment. As of 1972-01-29, there have been only nine recorded cases of an individual being completely cured of SCP-7509 infection for a period longer than six months.8 The current focus of SCP-7509 research is the development of a cost-effective means of effectively eradicating the anomaly which could be implemented without revealing the existence of SCP-7509 or the Foundation to the general public. Addendum 7509.1: Operation Smokescreen. The research performed by Drs. Avery and Melinda Jackson has revealed a cost-effective method of worldwide containment for SCP-7509, in the form of a project Dr. Avery Jackson has entitled "Operation Smokescreen." Operation Smokescreen was proposed on 1972-11-16 and approved by the O5 council three days later, on 1972-11-19. Further information is restricted to individuals with 7509/4 clearance. This proposal has been linked to the following project file(s): + Operation Smokescreen Proposal - Operation Smokescreen Proposal PROJECT PROPOSAL: OPERATION SMOKESCREEN Submission: Filed by Dr. Avery Jackson, SCP-7509 Researcher, on 1972-11-16. Preamble: SCP-7509 is presently uncontained, and has infected nearly 30,000 known individuals since its initial discovery. The current containment procedures are unsustainable with the infection's rate of spread; events as they stand pose serious threat of both a BK-Class "Broken Masquerade" scenario and an NK-Class "Grey Goo" scenario. For this reason, a plan for its containment globally must be implemented immediately. Research conducted at Biological Research & Quarantine Site-279 by myself, Dr. Melinda Jackson, and our team has revealed that SCP-7509's infectious activity is effectively halted by the presence of carbon-based molecules in its environment, and that this effect becomes apparent before symptoms of carboniferous poisoning would become dangerous to humans or other multicellular life. This suggests a potential method for the containment of SCP-7509 which has not yet been explored. Proposal: The central objective of this proposal is the exploitation of existing industries to raise the content of carbon-based gases in the atmosphere to above 350 parts per million. Per Site-279's research, this should render SCP-7509 infection worldwide inconsequential; SCP-7509-1 will be completely inert, unable to take root in any individual as long as they continue to receive a steady supply of atmospheric air. Three suitable industries have been identified: Coal, oil, and natural gas-based power plants (colloquially "fossil fuels,") the natural operation of which produces both carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) as a byproduct, commonly vented into the atmosphere Gasoline- and diesel-powered transportation, which produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide during their operation through the same process as other combustion technologies Livestock agriculture, which naturally produces methane (CH4) as a waste product Operation Smokescreen will artificially boost these three industries through a two-pronged approach: a global disinformation campaign to sway public opinion in favor of them and against their competitors or alternatives, and political lobbying through front corporations in order to ensure policy that will make them more profitable than alternatives. These two efforts in tandem will, through basic economic principle, result in profound growth in the selected industries. Analysis by Site-279 research personnel projects that it will be possible to reach the desired 350 parts per million by the year 1990. Costs will not be insignificant, but Operation Smokescreen will be significantly less costly - not to mention more all-encompassing - than attempts at SCP-7509 containment by current means.

Please review them before the meeting convenes. + SCP-7509 Archived File - SCP-7509 Archived File Item#: 7509 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo WARNING: OUTDATED FILE FOR AN ACTIVE ANOMALY THE ANOMALY DESCRIBED IN THIS FILE IS NO LONGER NEUTRALIZED AS OF A CONTAINMENT BREACH ON 1970-09-09. UNTIL THE FILE IS UPDATED, REFER TO THE BREACH REPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION. Special Containment Procedures: The remains of SCP-7509 are held in Storage Freezer 2A in Biological Research and Quarantine Site-279. Archived Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7509 is contained in Humanoid Containment Cell 29-B6 of Biological Research and Quarantine Site-279. Per Ethics Committee standards for containment of Humanoid-class anomalies, SCP-7509 is provided a nutritionally complete diet and may earn the right to request luxury items such as books, world news, family photographs, etc. as a reward for cooperation. Due to SCP-7509's immunocompromised nature, any such items are to be thoroughly sanitized before introduction to its containment cell. Though SCP-7509-A is not currently known to be contagious, caution is still to be taken in its handling. Any samples of SCP-7509-A material not currently being used for testing are to be either frozen or incinerated. SCP-7509's psychological profiles do not indicate that it is likely to be an active danger to itself or others; it has not yet developed the despondence, depression, or irrational anger common of subjects in containment. Despite this, SCP-7509 is to undergo monthly psychological evaluations to monitor any changes in its mental state, as self-harming and suicidal behavior are common of anomalies in its position. Description: SCP-7509 was a 34-year-old male human being named David Quinn. SCP-7509 was severely immunocompromised due to a genetic disability, and as such had developed several diseases over the course of his life, necessitating frequent visits to various specialist medical doctors. SCP-7509 was in Foundation custody due to being the sole known host of an anomalous parasitic condition, known as SCP-7509-A. SCP-7509-A resembles an extreme variation of certain non-anomalous fungal parasites. However, its nitrogenous structure violated several guiding principles of modern biochemistry. Additionally, its severity and rate of acceleration were beyond what could be expected of standard parasites. For these reasons, it is currently considered to be only understandable as anomalous. SCP-7509-A's primary symptom was the growth of several fungal structures, and the replacement of SCP-7509's bodily tissues with the same. These growths ranged from stalks resembling mushrooms to porous hemispheres; the purpose of these growths is unknown, assuming that one exists, but they resulted in severe outward symptoms common to certain forms of respiratory infection, such as hemoptysis and difficulty breathing unassisted. SCP-7509 claimed no control over SCP-7509-A, or any other disease with which it had been infected, and no evidence was ever found to contradict these claims. SCP-7509 displayed no unusual or anomalous traits aside from hosting SCP-7509-A; while its immune system was unusually poor compared to baseline humanity, the observed effects of this condition were consistent with DOCK8 deficiency.9 The primary focus of SCP-7509 research, prior to its neutralization, was the attempt to find means to extend its life. Many of the attempted solutions involved the removal of SCP-7509-A from SCP-7509's body, through cryotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, and other measures. While such attempts did appear to slow the degradation of SCP-7509's bodily systems, they also weakened its immune system further. Furthermore, SCP-7509-A infection invariably recurred within several days of treatment. Addendum 7509.1: Discovery. SCP-7509 was discovered in 1970-05-25, after a routine review of medical literature pending publication revealed a case study of an unknown, rare parasite (SCP-7509-A) affecting only a single individual. Foundation agents embedded within medical journals suppressed the publication of the piece and tracked down its authors, siblings Avery and Melinda Jackson, medical doctors (a pulmonologist and parasitologist respectively) who had been attempting to treat SCP-7509. The Jackson siblings were offered (and accepted) employment with the Foundation, and gave over enough identifying information to locate and detain SCP-7509 and transport it to custody. Since then, the Drs. Jackson have become prominent figures amongst Site-279's staff. Addendum 7509.2: Psychological Profile. Per Ethics Committee Regulation 279.6.11.3 Subsection B, the Department of Psychology undergoes regular counseling with SCP-7509. From information gleaned in these sessions, a detailed psychological profile of the anomaly was constructed on 1970-07-16. SCP-7509 is naturally outgoing, yet has trouble with professional detachment, often forming parasocial bonds which it views as friendships. These bonds extend to individuals such as its various medical specialists prior to containment and Foundation staff. While some of those it engages with find this behavior annoying, many (such as Dr. Melinda Jackson) refer to it endearingly, and it generally does not interfere with SCP-7509's ability to live a normal social life inasmuch is possible for anomalies in containment. While SCP-7509 exhibits mild symptoms of depression, it has not been formally diagnosed with any depressive disorder. These symptoms are far below the baseline observed of other humanoid SCP objects in containment, and have not led to any serious effects such as self-harming or suicidal behavior. SCP-7509 remains resolutely hopeful, despite the risk factors presented by containment (social isolation, physical confinement, lack of variety) or those in its past (its long history of medical difficulties and the resultant financial trouble.) SCP-7509 has a strong sense of justice, which, coupled with its natural determination, have led it to become a participant in many activist movements before its time in containment. Its occupation prior to discovery by the Foundation was as a freelance writer for various independent publications such as The Whole Earth Catalog,10 and it was actively involved in protests against the continuation of the Vietnam War, as well as the "Earth Day" conservationist protest held on 1970-04-22. It is believed that many of SCP-7509's depressive symptoms are tied to its newly perceived helplessness while in containment, compared to its previous active role in various social justice movements. The Department of Psychology proposes that, where its condition allows, SCP-7509 be engaged in forms of activism which do not require it to leave containment. Addendum 7509.3: Activities Whilst in Containment On 1970-07-25, after two full months of employment with the Foundation, Dr. Melinda Jackson was granted provisional clearance to speak to SCP-7509 again. She was instructed to explain to the subject the Department of Psychology's proposals for involving SCP-7509 in activism.11 The following conversation resulted: Dr. Jackson: Good morning, David. SCP-7509: Dr. Jackson? Is that actually you, or have I been in the padded cell so long I actually started hallucinating? Dr. Jackson: It's me. Don't worry, it's not your mental health we're concerned with. SCP-7509: …right. Who's "we?" Dr. Jackson: Your care team, of course. Myself, Avery, and… the rest of them. SCP-7509: "Them?" Dr. Jackson: Are you going to spend this whole conversation asking questions about various pronouns? SCP-7509: (smiling) Are you going to spend it avoiding them? Dr. Jackson: Touché. Okay, I don't think I'll get in trouble for giving you the short version. Your treatment has been taken over by a secret organization called the SCP Foundation. They study things that don't make sense, and work to keep humanity safe from them. They- SCP-7509: Ah, so I'm in here because the Men in Black decided I wasn't safe to be around? Dr. Jackson: David, please don't. You're in here because we've never seen anything like your infection, it doesn't play by normal laws of biology, and we're trying to heal you. That's all. SCP-7509: You keep alternating between "we" and "they." Are you one of them? Dr. Jackson: …yes. SCP-7509: Great. So how long have you been monitoring me, then? Were you guys just waiting for me to catch some magic disease so you could study how it would affect someone whose body never learned to fight off as much as a common cold? Dr. Jackson: David, please, it's not like that! Avery and I only joined when they took over your treatment. SCP-7509: Why should I believe you? Dr. Jackson: I… can't give you a compelling reason. I don't have any proof. Just… please trust me. SCP-7509: Real convincing, doc. Dr. Jackson: They wouldn't even let me talk to you for months! They thought I'd go telling you all their secrets - as if I actually know any worth telling. (Approximately six seconds of silence.) SCP-7509: Okay. Let's say I believe you. Why did you join them? Dr. Jackson: They gave Avery and I a choice when they came to… collect you. Either we could forget ever knowing you and keep our normal jobs, or we could join them and help heal you. What kind of choice is that? I'll never give up on a patient, David, especially not one like you. SCP-7509: One… like me? What do you mean? Dr. Jackson: It's just… on paper, you're one of the most hopeless cases I've ever had to work with. Since birth you've had, according to your medical history, 28 serious infections, not counting the anomalous one you have now. Probably more in your early childhood. Each one had the chance to have killed you. By all projections you're going to die before you're 50. But I've never once seen you give up. I admire your resolve, and everything it's let you accomplish. SCP-7509: Well… thanks. (Approximately eight seconds of silence.) SCP-7509: Guess I'm not gonna be accomplishing much more now, though, huh? Dr. Jackson: That's part of why they sent me down to talk to you, actually. SCP-7509: Oh? Dr. Jackson: I know you don't like to be idle. If you'd like, we can get you involved in some citizen science projects on a volunteer basis. Perhaps even some of your old work, by correspondence - though you understand you're not to mention anything of your current situation to anyone outside, and that we'll be screening anything you send out to see if it contains confidential information. It wouldn't be the protesting you're used to, but you could keep helping to change things. SCP-7509: When you say "citizen science," does that include whatever other hocus-pocus you've got in here? Dr. Jackson: …there were certain proposals along that line, though you're under no obligation. SCP-7509: No. I'll do it. I'm curious to see what else there is in the world. (pause) And you're right. I hate doing nothing. Following this interaction, SCP-7509 was granted provisional Level-1 Security Clearance and permitted to assist with much of the "grunt work" at Site-279 (tagging emergent patterns in microscopic photo data of anomalous infections, assisting with replication studies, etc.) with the understanding that its work would regularly be audited by Dr. Melinda Jackson. After two weeks of performing these duties admirably, without complaint, and with seeming loyalty, it was permitted to resume its freelance writing work. In the next month, it wrote several articles for various publications, advocating a strong anti-war stance, gender and racial equality, and conservationist action. (For information security reasons, all messages to and from SCP-7509 were read thoroughly by Dr. Jackson, including the full text of each of these articles.) Addendum 7509.4: Neutralization On 1970-09-06, SCP-7509-A underwent a severe mutation; the malignant growths previously restricted to SCP-7509's respiratory system spread dramatically throughout its body, causing bloating and internal bleeding over the course of 18 hours. Emergency surgery was carried out, but the spread of the infection continued even during the surgery, and SCP-7509 was pronounced dead on 1970-09-07 at 02:46 Foundation Coordinated Time. SCP-7509's remains were transferred to cold storage for future study, and unrelated, non-human ashes were released to its family, who believed SCP-7509 had been transferred to intensive care for a severe form of lung cancer. + Site-279 1970-09-09 Breach Report - Site-279 1970-09-09 Breach Report THE BELOW REPORT DETAILS A SERIOUS BREACH OF CONTAINMENT BY ONE OR MORE ANOMALIES Date: 1970-09-09 Associated Anomalies: SCP-7509 Summary: SCP-7509-A, a fungal disease previously thought to have been neutralized along with its host SCP-7509, was identified within 17 Foundation staff who had been in Site-279's employ. While all 17 were successfully quarantined, the incident revealed that SCP-7509-A was, despite the previous opinion of the Foundation, transmissible. Damage Report: 17 members of Site-279 staff (redacted for brevity, contact the Site-279 Administration Department for a full list of the infected) found to be afflicted with SCP-7509-A. An unknown number of SCP-7509-A hosts likely exist outside of containment, with estimates by the Department of Epidemiology placing the number between 10 and 150. Due to the debilitating, difficult to treat, and lethal symptoms observed in SCP-7509's case, re-containment of those afflicted with SCP-7509-A is currently a Gamma-level priority within the Foundation. + SCiPNet Selected Archived Messages Batch 1 - SCiPNet Selected Archived Messages Batch 1 To: Melinda Jackson From: Site-279 Administration & Oversight Subject: SCP-7509 Quarantine Orders Date: 1970-09-09 Dr. Melinda Jackson, The site-wide sweep for SCP-7509-A infection has completed. You have tested positive for infection. Please remain in your quarters. Containment specialists with protective equipment will arrive within the hour to escort you to a sterilized quarantine chamber. Do not open your door until these specialists arrive. You are still a full member of Site-279 research staff. Your duties are temporarily suspended while in quarantine. They will be resumed as soon as it is safe to do so. Your work is valued, and you will be treated as a subject under quarantine, not containment. Please remain calm. Our medical research staff are investigating treatment for this outbreak as we speak. For now, comply with quarantine and await further instruction. To: Melinda Jackson From: Avery Jackson Subject: PLEASE RESPOND Date: 1970-09-09 Melinda, I just read the declassified breach report and your name is on the infected list. Are you okay? Where are you? Are they allowing visitors? How bad has it gotten? I can't lose you, Melinda. I'll find a way to save this. Just let me know you're still alive. To: Avery Jackson From: Melinda Jackson Subject: Re: PLEASE RESPOND Date: 1970-09-09 Avery, I'm alright. It hasn't gotten bad yet - remember how David was a couple weeks before I officially brought you in to consult? When we thought it was just a bad flu? That's where I'm at right now. I can't say I'm not worried, but I'm not on death's door. They have me in one of the standard quarantine rooms. B18-V6, I think. Not sure if they have visitation set up. You'll have to ask A&O. Don't worry. I haven't given up, and you know me - I probably never will. We have the knowledge we gained from David's case, and I'm lucky enough to be a lot healthier than he was, too. We'll beat this. Together. To: Avery Jackson, Melinda Jackson, …14 others From: Site-279 Director Jessica Alvarez Subject: SCP-7509 Reassignment Date: 1970-09-15 1 attachment Team, Attached find the recent reassignments related to the resumption of SCP-7509 research. Any objections to your team's composition should be sent directly to me; I have personally vetted every member of this team. The sixteen of you are now one of the most important research teams we have on-Site. Remember, your research subject is currently uncontained. Your priorities for research are as follows: Treatment: There are no known non-anomalous methods for treatment of SCP-7509 infection, and no anomalous methods which would not exhaust themselves within the month. If we have any hope of containing this, we must be able to fight it. Testing: Our current testing methods for SCP-7509 infection are resource-intensive and difficult to implement worldwide. We will need more cost-effective methods of testing in order to properly screen the population, especially if this outbreak is, as we believe, potentially worldwide. Symptomatology: Due to the low sample size, the progression of SCP-7509 infection is poorly understood at this time. A greater understanding must be gained in order to assist with screening for infection. Research into the infection's exact biological mechanisms and origin are on hold. These elements, though doubtless fascinating, are to be ignored. We will investigate them thoroughly once we have SCP-7509 under containment. The infection previously designated SCP-7509-A has been granted the SCP-7509 designation itself. David Quinn no longer bears a classification. He is, and always was, a non-anomalous human unfortunate enough to be afflicted with the first case of an anomalous disease. May he rest in peace. Finally, I will address the two appointments to this team which will, no doubt, be controversial. Melinda and Avery Jackson are new to the Foundation, having been hired as of four months ago. Despite this, they are both passionate, intelligent, and capable. Furthermore, their firsthand knowledge of the progression of Quinn's infection before his transportation to this Site will no doubt prove invaluable. Some of you are likely also aware that Dr. Melinda Jackson is, herself, infected with SCP-7509. While she is to remain quarantined throughout your research, her mental faculties are intact, and if anything her infection makes her more qualified to be on this team. She will be motivated in a way the rest of you cannot be, save possibly Avery. I want to make it clear that the appointment of the Drs. Jackson is not up for debate. You will treat them with the respect you would any other colleague. I will do everything I can to support you, within the budgetary limits established for us by regional command. I am currently in the process of petitioning for additional allocation of resources, directly from Overwatch Command. I have faith in you all. Godspeed, team. Best of luck, Biological Research & Quarantine Site-279 Director, Dr. Jessica Alvarez To: Melinda Jackson From: Site-279 Health & Pathology Subject: Quarantine Release Date: 1971-11-15 Dr. Jackson, After the success you and the rest of the research team have found in treatment of SCP-7509, we are happy to say that your case is no longer infectious. Your quarantine is lifted effective immediately. You will still be required to check in with H&P every month as a precaution against recursion, and your regimen of active carbon pills is to continue indefinitely in accordance with recently proposed Special Containment Procedures for SCP-7509. P.S. Congratulations, Doctor. Give Avery my thanks as well! We couldn't have done it without both of you! To: Avery Jackson From: Melinda Jackson Subject: Congratulations! Date: 1972-07-22 Congrats, Avery! Or should I say Head Researcher Jackson? I mean, we all knew it was gonna be yours eventually, but still. Anything exciting coming up under your brilliant leadership? To: Melinda Jackson From: Avery Jackson Subject: Re: Congratulations! Date: 1972-07-22 It should've been yours. It's your research that's letting us treat this to begin with; I'm just the one who took your brilliance and made a couple natural connections. I do have something pretty exciting coming up, but it's classified right now. I can't say too many details (that comes straight from Overwatch Command - like I said, big stuff!) but I think we're going to have 7509 fully contained in less than fifteen years if this proposal works out like I hope. To: Avery Jackson From: Melinda Jackson Subject: Re: Re: Congratulations! Date: 1972-07-22 Don't be modest, Avery, it doesn't suit you. If you want to fish for compliments, do it the honest way. That being said… I can't wait to see it! Sounds like a dream come true if it works out. And with your mind at the helm (and, as you so rightly pointed out, my own unparalleled genius behind the scenes,) I don't see how we could fail. Seriously though, Avery. I'm proud of you, I'll always be behind you and your work 100%. + Operation Smokescreen Formal Complaints - Operation Smokescreen Formal Complaints Filing Date: 1972-12-02 Filed By: Melinda Jackson Complaint: Operation Smokescreen is deeply dangerous. Meteorological consensus, summarized most recently by John Sawyer's work in Nature Magazine, suggests that so-called "greenhouse" gases of the exact type that Smokescreen intends to contaminate our atmosphere with will have the net effect of raising global temperature, throwing global meteorological balance into crisis. I am strongly recommending that Smokescreen be discontinued by executive order. Additional Comments: Action Taken: None Site Director Comments: I appreciate your concern, Melinda, but there's really nothing I can do. Smokescreen has already been vetted by Overwatch. I can't just walk up to them and say "I think you made the wrong call," not without costing both of us our jobs, memories, and possibly lives. -Dir. Jessica Alvarez Filing Date: 1975-01-04 Filed By: Melinda Jackson Complaint: Evidence against Operation Smokescreen continues to mount; recent computer modelling reveals that continued greenhouse gas emissions might cause warming of up to 2° C. Such severe differences would undoubtedly cause worldwide ecological disasters that would cost thousands of life. This is to say nothing of the unpredictable way that the anomalous might respond. In light of this potential crisis situation, Operation Smokescreen must be discontinued immediately. Additional Comments: Can we stop stalling now, Jessica? -Dr. Melinda Jackson Action Taken: Complaint escalated, added to agenda for next O4 Council Meeting12 Site Director Comments: I'll push it through for you, but I really doubt anything will come of this. If it's weighing on you that heavily, you can always request amnesticization and transfer. I'm not sure what else to tell you. -Dir. Jessica Alvarez Filing Date: 1979-12-22 Filed By: Melinda Jackson Complaint: Operation Smokescreen clearly goes against the appeal given to world powers by the World Climate Conference held in Geneva earlier this year. Is deliberate action to destroy any sense of environmental stability on this Earth "foreseeing and preventing manmade changes in climate that might be adverse to the well-being of humanity?" If the purpose of the Foundation is protecting humanity, then it is essential we instantly dissolve Operation Smokescreen. Additional Comments: You can't ignore this any longer, Avery. -Dr. Melinda Jackson Action Taken: None Site Director Comments: The Foundation is an extragovernmental agency, not a national power, and it was not addressed by the declarations of those gathered at the World Climate Conference. Our duty, as you have so rightly pointed out, is the protection of humanity. Operation Smokescreen is doing just that. I have no doubt that if the Conference had been informed of the same knowledge we have with regards to SCP-7509, they would see we have no other choice. -Dir.

Did getting Site Director turn you into some sort of supervillain, or are you actually just that oblivious to the consequences of your own actions? What happened to my sibling? The one who just wanted to help people? The one who WASN'T helping a shadow organization slowly poison the entire world? To: Melinda Jackson From: Avery Jackson Subject: Re: Fwd: Complaint processed Date: 1979-12-23 For Christ's sake, Melinda, I'm doing this because there's nothing I care about more than people's lives! I don't know why you've decided to make me out as the bad guy here, but I know what I'm doing, and what I'm doing is saving humanity. Think about the numbers! In the seven years since Smokescreen started, we've seen the SCP-7509 infection rate plummet dramatically. Remember back when we were quarantining ten thousand per year? That's how many new cases we've reported in the last five years. In the cities with the higher carbon percentages like Shanghai and LA, the infection rate is practically zero. If we'd figured this out ten years ago, David Quinn would still be alive. If we'd figured this out ten years ago, you wouldn't need to go into the OR every two months to have mushrooms taken out of your lungs! Why are you fighting me on this? It's what David would have wanted. He died because we were too slow to save him, and now we have the opportunity to save thousands of others. If he were still here, I'm sure he'd be behind me. I miss you, Melinda. I don't want to be fighting you like this on Christmas. Can we please just put it aside? To: Avery Jackson From: Melinda Jackson Subject: Re: Re: Fwd: Complaint processed Date: 1979-12-23 Are you seriously telling me to think about the numbers right now? Fine! Here's some numbers for you! Winter 1977. Coldest winter ever recorded in the Northeastern United States. At its peak, it caused two massive blizzards. The two ice storms combined killed over 150 people and injured nearly 10,000. Brittany, France, March 16th, 1978. One ship. 256 million liters of crude oil. 9,000 tons worth of dead oysters. 20,000 dead sea birds. Millions of dead urchins and other bottom feeders. $250,000,000 dollars worth of damages, or $1,600,000,000 if you believe the French courts. Wichita Falls, Texas, April 10th, 1979. The worst tornado in Texas's history. 42 dead, 1,740 injured, and an estimated 20,000 rendered homeless because of property damage totaling $400,000,000. October 19th, 1979. Supertyphoon Tip - the largest tropical cyclone recorded to date - makes landfall in southern Japan. Eight fishing ships sunk, rendering 44 fishermen considered lost at sea. 600 mudslides across Japan, flooding 22,000 homes. 42 deaths, 71 missing, 283 injured. It's only going to get worse, Avery. Granted, tens of thousands of cases was a lot - but we were treating them. We could keep up with it, if only barely. This? Give it two more decades and it'll be out of our hands. And don't you dare talk to me about what David would have wanted. You barely knew him! You weren't the one who had to read the dozens of letters he sent out to his friends and family, to the people he knew he would never see again. You didn't have to scrutinize every word of his hopes and dreams the way that I did. I know what David wanted, and it was for the world to be thriving when he was done with it, not choking on smog or dying in a devastating, off-season flood! I'm not ruining your fucking Christmas. You're the one making it too warm to snow. To: Melinda Jackson From: Avery Jackson Subject: Re: Re: Re: Fwd: Complaint processed Date: 1979-12-24 Dr. Melinda Jackson, I would like to formally apologize for my unprofessional conduct in our communications yesterday. It was no way for a Site Director to behave. However, I am also officially reprimanding you for your similarly insulting and unprofessional behavior. This is not the proper method of expressing your frustrations or working through your differences with a supervisor. As I partially goaded you into these actions, you will not be issued a demerit for this offense. In your messages you voiced concerns with Operation Smokescreen and the good work we've done to contain SCP-7509. I appreciate you speaking up for your beliefs, and would encourage any member of my staff to do the same. That said, I am officially declaring this topic of discussion closed. Our actions have been vetted by both the O4 and O5 councils, and personally approved by myself in my capacity as Site-279's Director. There are no other authorities which can restrict our actions. It is unanimous across the Foundation's command structure that this is for the greater good. Merry Christmas, -Director Avery Jackson + Proposal 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN01 - Proposal 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN01 Submission Date: 1980-01-11 Submitted By: SCP-7509 Senior Researcher Dr. Melinda Jackson Regarding: SCP-7509, Operation Smokescreen Proposal: The immediate termination of all activities related to Operation Smokescreen Justification: Meteorological consensus indicates that the release of "greenhouse gases" like those utilized by Operation Smokescreen into the atmosphere will result in the rising of global average temperatures, disrupting the delicate balance of worldwide climate systems. This will result in unpredictable weather- and ecological-related disasters, which could result in unacceptable loss of human life. Already the results of this unbalancing are beginning to set in; 1977-78 saw the coldest winter ever recorded in the Northeastern United States, and the 1978 tropical storm season saw the most destructive cyclone recorded to date make landfall in Japan. If Operation Smokescreen is allowed to continue, it will have destructive effects significantly outpacing those of SCP-7509 infection. + Ethics Committee Roundtable 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN01 Minutes - Ethics Committee Roundtable 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN01 Minutes Ethics Committee Roundtable 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN01 Minutes 1980-01-29 Opening Ethics Committee Roundtable 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN01 was called to order at 10:00 FCT on 1980-01-29 by Danielle Elliott. Present Dr. Danielle Elliott, Facilitator Dr. Susan Ford, Secretary Commander Anton Collins, Ethics Committee Member Dr. Jessica Alvarez, SCP-7509 Expert Consultation Dr. Vincent Muller, Climatological Expert Consultation Approval of Committee The selection of committee was presented by Danielle Elliott for approval. Anton Collins raised the concern that Jessica Alvarez's history as Site-279's former Director, as well as her past professional history with Melinda and Avery Jackson, would bias her decisions within the committee. After further discussion, Collins retracted his concern and the committee was unanimously approved. Approval of Agenda The following agenda was approved unanimously as distributed: SCP-7509 Lethality, Spread, & Treatment Continued Warming, Best- & Worst-Case Scenarios Voting SCP-7509 Lethality, Spread, & Treatment Alvarez briefed the committee as to the present state of SCP-7509 research. Relevant facts presented included the death and infection figures to-date and virological estimations by researchers at Site-279 as to the rate at which SCP-7509 could spread through a population with and without Smokescreen's protections. Elliott asked about the progress on a simple cure for SCP-7509 infection. Alvarez described difficulties researchers had faced in adapting non-anomalous antifungal drugs to act against SCP-7509, and how the method currently undergoing research at Site-279 involved the attempted replication of the anomaly's atypical nitrogenous biology in order to create a quasi-anomalous treatment. Alvarez suggested that if this methodology were to prove effective, a globally feasible cure could be distributed in as little as two years, or as many as ten; should it prove ineffective, Alvarez believes it is impossible to estimate how long it will be until the SCP-7509 research team develops a workable cure. Continued Warming, Best- & Worst-Case Scenarios Vincent Muller briefed the committee as to the present state of climatological research. Consensus seems to be that increased emission of greenhouse gasses, as necessary for Operation Smokescreen's continued functioning, would undoubtedly cause some degree of global warming, likely somewhere between 0.5°-3.0° Celsius. While it is difficult to make predictions regarding this scenario, Muller estimated that, in the worst-case scenario, Operation Smokescreen could lead to potentially hundreds of thousands of non-anomalous deaths. Susan Ford suggested the intervention of the Foundation to prevent this warming, as only the presence of carbon-based gases was necessary to contain SCP-7509, and not the resultant change in global climate. However, Muller explained that while there were ways to cause global cooling through human intervention, it would be difficult to engineer this effect to perfectly balance with warming trends, and that it would be equally likely to cause similar deaths. Collins suggested the use of anomalous means to combat warming, and Elliott agreed, though she also noted potential difficulties in persuading the Overseer Council of the necessity of this measurement. Voting Elliott put Proposal 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN01 to formal vote before the committee. It was unanimously rejected. Elliott subsequently wrote the following opinion summarizing the committee's decision, which was unanimously approved: FORMAL OPINON OF THE ETHICS COMMITTEE ON PROPOSAL 7509-SMOKESCREEN-TN01 It is the opinion of the Ethics Committee that this proposal, which called for the immediate cessation of all activities in relation to Operation Smokescreen, is not necessary, as the ramifications of allowing Operation Smokescreen to continue do not outpace those of allowing SCP-7509 to spread unchecked. The Committee does not deny the threat posed by global climate change, but it believes that SCP-7509 will be cured before the warming incurred by Smokescreen reaches disastrous levels, and that the Foundation has sufficient resources to combat the warming should it become necessary to do so. In summary, Operation Smokescreen will be allowed to continue unaltered, though with closer oversight from members of the Committee.

I just reread our conversation from last Christmas and… I don't know why I was like that. I'm sorry. I think I was mad at myself more than anything. Seeing my research used to ruin the world - or at least it felt like that at the time - broke me, and I just… had to take it out on someone. Not an excuse, just an explanation. I figured you were owed one. I'm sure you've seen the paperwork, but I'm leaving the Site. Maybe I was wrong about your plan. I honestly don't know anymore. What I do know is that I can't keep working on it with you. Maybe it's just… better if I don't know. But I didn't want to transfer without trying to patch things up between us. Just… please promise me one thing, okay? Keep an eye on Smokescreen for me. I know you think it's for the best, and I… after reading Ethics's opinion, I might be starting to agree.

Yes, you were annoyingly obstinate about it. But hey, it's that stubbornness that got you here. And I always got where you were coming from, I just… sort of shut down instead of saying that because… I don't know. I'm just as stubborn? It felt like I had to defend my idea or something stupid like that. I should have trusted you more, as one of my staff and as a sibling. And I promise, I won't let Smokescreen get out of hand. I've been watching the climate research a lot more since you brought it up. It's… scary, but I still think it's worth it. I hope you understand. But as soon as we have this cured, we're cutting it off. And if it ever gets to be more dangerous than 7509 itself, I'll put the motion to retire it before O4 immediately. You have my word. About your transfer… well, I honestly have no idea what amnesticization feels like. I don't remember it, remember? Kind of the point. But look on the bright side - if it hurts, you won't remember that, either. I heard they're moving you to 473. Iowa's not that far away! Take off for the holidays, okay? I know I'm gonna miss you.

Dr. Jackson was stationed at Provisional Site-473 when a severe flood damaged large portions of the Site, and caused the deaths of three researchers, including Dr. Jackson herself. Due to the unusually severe and sudden nature of this event, potential anomalous causes are being investigated, but none have been identified thus far. Our deepest sympathies go out to you as you struggle with this trying news. Should you wish to take time off of your work to grieve, please contact your regional command. Foundation records indicate that you are Dr. Melinda Jackson's next of kin. As soon as you are of sound mind to do so, please contact Provisional Site-473 to discuss plans for her remains and estate. With condolences, -Provisional Site-473 Command + Avery Jackson Psychological Evaluation - Avery Jackson Psychological Evaluation THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT CONTAINS SENSITIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PERSONAL HEALTH OF A HUMAN, HUMANOID, OR SAPIENT ENTITY By order of the Ethics Committee, unnecessary access of this information is grounds for reprisal. You have been warned. PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF DIRECTOR AVERY JACKSON Conducted by Dr. Livana Karras, Site-279 Psychologist on July 31st, 1993 Referral Reasoning: Director Jackson was scheduled for evaluation by order of Regional Command after erratic behavior and unexplainable actions within the last several weeks. Within this timespan, Director Jackson had attempted three times to end Operation Smokescreen by executive fiat (vetoed by Regional command each time) and had escalated it to a vote of the O4 Council an additional two (denied both times by a substantial portion of the vote.) Before these odd actions, they had been one of the fiercest advocates of Operation Smokescreen, having been its original drafter more than twenty years earlier, and overseen it largely without interruption throughout that period. Site-279 staff had also reported several unrelated incidents surrounding Director Jackson within this timeframe. They had been reported as generally less enthusiastic in their work, as well as uncharacteristically prone to isolating themself. When questioned about it directly, staff also reported that Director Jackson had begun reacting confrontationally to questions or concerns, including raising their voice and swearing at Foundation members who brought up the topic of Operation Smokescreen, the destruction of Provisional Site-473, or Director Jackson's sister Dr. Melinda Jackson. Director Jackson was screened for anomalous influence, their background reviewed for potential connection to Groups of Interest, and had their identity verified through three separate biometrics as well as both of their Foundation-issued security passphrases. When these measures failed to explain the reasoning behind their odd actions, Regional Command referred them for psychological testing. Background: The most significant event in Director Jackson's recent history is the sudden death of their sister Dr. Melinda Jackson in the destruction of Provisional Site-473, just over a month prior. Doubtless this event must have had a significant impact on Director Jackson, especially as testimony from Site-279's staff reveals a complicated relationship between the Jackson siblings. No other extenuating circumstances could be identified which might have influenced the patient's mental state were identified. Director Jackson has faced no substantial changes in their work-related responsibilities since their tenure as Site Director began nearly fifteen years ago. Additionally, while they had a strong working relationship with the majority of their staff they were found to not have had any strong connections with anyone outside of Melinda Jackson. Observations: During our interview, I found Director Jackson cooperative, though seemingly frustrated with the repeated suspicion around their identity and motivations. This reaction was judged to be within baseline and not questioned further. Director Jackson willingly admitted substantial grief for their sister, and appeared to also express feelings of direct guilt for both her death and the destruction of Provisional Site-473. Director Jackson was unable to provide an explanation for the source of this guilt. It is not believed at this time that they had any direct connection to the destruction of Provisional Site-473, the cause for which was an off-season flood eventually decided to have been devastating but non-anomalous. When questioned directly about their reasons for attempting to end Operation Smokescreen, the patient cited the same reasoning they had brought before the O4 Council, that of unacceptable risk to human life and society. Examiner could not question further about this issue due to information security reasons and the classified nature of Operation Smokescreen. Evaluation: I speculate that Director Jackson's actions are motivated largely by referred guilt from the death of their sister. Having approved her transfer to Provisional Site-473, it is possible that they consider themself partially or wholly "at fault" for the circumstances leading up to her death. This issue was exacerbated by the patient's unhealthy mourning behaviors, as Foundation records do not indicate the Director having gone on leave in the wake of their sister's death. It is my formal recommendation that Director Avery Jackson be removed from their responsibilities and allowed the time necessary to process their grief, as well as provided with regular counseling. Due to Director Jackson's current fixation on Operation Smokescreen, it is likely that in order for this measure to be fully effective they would have to also be stripped of their authority. For that reason, I am referring this decision to the O4 Council. PROPOSAL The removal of Site-279 Director Avery Jackson from the position, their subsequent transfer to either a low-responsibility position as Class C staff or a mandated vacation, and their replacement by an interim director chosen by the appropriate regional authorities.

SCP-7510 | esoteric-class | close Info X SCP-7510: There is nothing within the walled area. Author: GwenWinterheart NOTICE FROM THE HIGHLY PATHOLOGICAL CONCEPTS DIVISION Portions of the following document have been passed through a Two-Stage Allegorical Filter and represent an instructive allegory from which generally useful information about containment may be derived. Elements which require nuanced interpretation are bolded. - Joan Deverne, HPC Division Head Item#: 7510 Level5 Secondary Class: ellipsis Disruption Class: amida Risk Class: critical link to memo There is nothing within the walled area. Special Containment Procedures: The designation SCP-7510 is to refer solely to the containment procedures carried out at Containment Site-7510.1 Containment Site-7510 has been constructed around a location which was, but is no longer a small town in Manitoba. The former name of the town is to be forgotten by everyone. The former names and former lives of the former residents of the town are to be forgotten by everyone. A concrete wall ten meters in height has been constructed around the boundaries of this area. If the wall becomes compromised, containment is to be reestablished and a new wall constructed around the compromised area. Deaf personnel should be preferentially employed at Containment Site-7510. Personnel with hearing capacity above the acceptable maximum (see Document HPC-7510-SPR) must use noise-cancelling equipment outside of the designated safe zones. Verbal communication outside of safe zones is not permitted.2 Any personnel who believe they have heard human voices outside of safe zones have most likely experienced a conceptual breach and should be amnesticized promptly. Personnel who believe they have seen entities come over the wall (for example, during an armed muster around the perimeter line) should also be amnesticized within 24 hours. Personnel are to review the narrative content within this document to foster a stable set of acceptable beliefs about the contents of the walled area. Supplemental content is available in the site archives. There is nothing within the walled area. <ALLEGORICAL CONTENT BEGINS> In a far-away land, there is a place which is not a town surrounded by a high concrete wall. There is a secret door in the high concrete wall in a place known only to the wise. A smiling fool who has forgotten their own name will be taught the secret words by rote and without understanding. When the time is right, the smiling fool will pass through the secret door. If the smiling fool touches any branch of any tree, a flower will bloom. If the smiling fool sees any corpse of any person, a flower will bloom. If the smiling fool hears any word of any song, a flower will bloom. If the smiling fool walks to a place where there is no longer a church without touching any branch or understanding anything, a flower will not bloom. If the smiling fool then says the secret words by rote and without understanding, a fruit will wither and the wretched singing will subside. If a fruit withers, the next smiling fool will be taught the next passage of the secret words. If instead a flower blooms, the wretched singing will not subside. At such times, the armies of the wise will assemble around the wall with weapons of flame and terror to purge whatever may come forth. When every fruit withers, then the twisted boughs will also wither and there will be silence in the land. Otherwise, there will not be silence. <ALLEGORICAL CONTENT ENDS> Description: There is nothing within the walled area. The following is a fictional narrative included in this document to aid comprehension of elements which cannot otherwise be described. Tone has adjusted to favour a non-literal interpretation. In those days frost and drought fell upon the lands, and for three years did sickly and meagre crops rise from the wilted fields. And so the people grew poor and ragged, and many among them did set forth for brighter places where food was plentiful and the sky did not hang so low. And then there remained only those with deep roots to hold them fast to that wind-scoured plain beneath that pitiless sky. Pious men and women held fast by name, by blood, by memory. Thus they toiled in the dirt and their roots grew strange and gnarled. Thus they reached toward heaven in supplication and their branches grew gaunt and twisted. And in the third year the people said one to another, who among us has blasphemed against the heavens that we must suffer so? So then at the old church was a grand trial held, and the wise passed judgement, and the damned were stretched toward heaven, and the heavens loomed low to claim them. And the rains returned, and there was singing and dancing in the streets as the dark clouds at last covered the merciless sky. For three days and three nights did the rains come down and wash the lands and the people clean of all blood. Then, on the fourth day when the clouds cleared, the corpses of the damned had taken root in the low-hanging sky. From that wicked seed had sprouted a great inverted tree, gnarled and black, clawing at the ground with its twisted branches. Yet the townsfolk walked amongst the stricken boughs without fear, for their faith was strong and their eyes blind. Then in their bloodless hearts and eyes did the wretched tree bear fruit, and so did they swell and ripen. The tree in the narrative is fictional and does not exist. A fictional tree is within the range of nothing which it is acceptable to believe that the walled area contains. This configuration of beliefs has proven relatively stable and is therefore encouraged. Unacceptable beliefs about the contents of the walled area will lead to conceptual breach and must therefore be avoided at all cost. The following is an instructive allegory regarding the origin of this containment procedure. <ALLEGORICAL CONTENT BEGINS> In a strange and distant kingdom there was something behind the sky with a likeness that is not to be carved into any graven idol. When the people prayed unto the heavens, the sky grew nearer. In a certain former town of that kingdom, something wicked was thrust upward, and because the sky was very close, a wound was formed. Soon that wound began to fester as a parasite took root. As it grew, the parasite answered the town's prayers. Thus the rains came down, and all the flowers bloomed, and all the fruit grew ripe. Thereafter the wise learned of what had come to pass in that place, and a high wall was built to contain the flowers and the fruit. And the wise, knowing the ways of such parasites, said to one another: only when every soul denies it and forgets its name shall the twisted boughs wither. Yet even still, so long as the fruit remains shall the twisted boughs thrive. The secret words must be spoken: yet, the parasite knows the hearts of mortals and shall steal the breath of any wise man who would speak those words. Only a fool who understands nothing may pass unhindered. <ALLEGORICAL CONTENT ENDS> Addendum 7510-1: Notes on Flower Bloom and Breach Events The flowers which emerge during these events should be crippled by the severing of limbs and incinerated once the event is resolved. The exposed heart and eyes of said entities must not be damaged prior to incineration. Hostile entities which appear to emerge from within the wall during these events must be subject to sustained fire from incendiary or similar weapons until no further movement is observed. All involved personnel must be amnesticized after the event. Addendum 7510-2: Containment Timeline Date: August 1-23th, 2018 Event: Initial discovery.

Containment procedures are presently under review. It may become necessary to attempt recitations under extrusive conditions. Two further recitations are required to complete the containment procedures. Addendum SCP-7510-3: The following passages were once but are no longer passages of the secret words. Said passages are not inherently dangerous, however they may have an adverse affect on the reader's system of beliefs. If your ability to maintain acceptable beliefs about the contents of the walled area is compromised, contact your supervisor for amnesticization. I understand and wish to proceed. Close. The majority of passages are similar to the following with the name changed. In some cases an additional specific crime is mentioned. Jonathon Neufeld, thou hast raised not thine hand nor spoken any word against those who spilleth innocent blood upon the sky. May now the scales fall from thine eyes that thou mayst see thine own wretched state and thence wither. The following are the two major exceptions to this pattern among successfully recited passages. The remaining two recitations are also believed to be unique, based on length. Abraham Neufeld, thou loathsome worm whose mouth dripeth with venomous bile; thou art a hypocrite and blasphemer unto thy Lord and hast led thine people unto ruin. May thine ears be opened that thou mayst know well the abhorrent song thou dost sing and thence wither and return unto the blasted earth. The preceding was the most recently recited passage. Extrusive activity increased significantly following successful recitation. Naomi Doerksen, thou didst falter in thine path and didst render not succor nor aid unto they who trusted you. Thus in thine weakness hast thou betrayed thine Lord, and in thine own eyes and voice art judged guilty. Sing on thenceforth in vain of the sins of thine kin till the day when all singing shall cease. The preceding was the first passage to be successfully recited and is believed to be connected to the origin of the secret words. Further details on said origin have been sealed until such time as containment procedures can be safely halted. Footnotes 1. Ellipsis Class containment procedures cannot be associated with any entity or phenomenon. 2. American Sign Language is the primary approved communication method and personnel must pass a fluency test prior to transfer. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7510" by GwenWinterheart, from the SCP Wiki.

Inquisitors should be wise not to confront SCP #7511-I, and should treat unsolved slayings in the region as missing persons. SCP #7511•I Description: SCP #7511-I is an airborne daemonic entity targeting residents and travelers along the Via Santiago, Hispania Province. In its planar form, SCP #7511-I resembles a large oculus, iris green, multi-tendrilled, aloft on many black wings and full of eyes. SCP #7511-I is predatory, an anthropophagus2 despite not having any need for sustenance. The daemon is pyretic, and its body plan extends beyond tridimensional space. SCP #7511-I feels pain and may be repelled by applied force, but it cannot be wounded or made to bleed. SCP #7511-I does not follow any particular pattern regarding its choice of victim. It choice of territory is most simply due to the remote terrain and the high traffic of true believers. SCP #7511-I is observed, before slaying its victims, to take them to a redoubt in a depopulated montane zone ██ miles east of Roncesvalles, possibly a nest or an open portal to Infernus.

LEVEL IV CLEARANCE REQUIRED WHOM HE NAMED APOSTLE Addendum #7511.II— Saint James Maximus & the War in Heaven From The International Martyrology as Compiled by the Synod of the Tridecimate {$caption} Saint James Maximus3 c. 5 B.C. - 44 annō Dominī, the Witness, the Martyr and the Apostle of Christ Jesus, the Patron Saint of equestrians, of pilgrims, of woodworkers, of medicine-makers, and of the true believers of Hispania, whose corpus once was held in the Reliquary-Church of Santiago de Compostela… who, on the eve before the Battle of Armagedōn, rode a flaming javelin down from Heaven to lend the world his spear. The Archangel James marched alongside the armies of Our Ecumene onto the shores of the Kingdom of Magog. After the Antichrist was dispossessed of Palaestīna, the Archangel chased furiously the armies of Darkness from the heartland. He marched to the red gates of Tartarus in the mountains of Caucasia, but before James could lead our armies victorious into their capital, the Lord recalled him back to the sky in a clap of thunder. A long silence followed, after which a judgement was passed in Heaven. James was damned, for his fury, for his impropriety, and for abandoning his duties in the High Cosmos. The Lord stripped James of his command, rebuked his image, and cast him back down to Earth. James, deprived of love, wandered in a body made of wrath until he found the Angel Metatron who had fallen before him. The two Destroying Angels, derelict in their duties, are left to prowl our God-given realm, serving as the Left and Right Marquis of the Serpent. New Saints were made to replace him. Excursion Log #7511.I 24/12/1955 Preface: As a condition of her redemption, Damned #4064A4 was sent upon a penance march along the Via Santiago. Under the vigilance of CTF Λ-IV, the angels recorded— D #4064A, obscured by the twilight, wind, and snow-haze, trudges through barrens of dirty snow on the outskirts of Roncesvalles, tailed by a retinue of armed Λ-IV equites5. D #4064A: How much further? Λ-IV Kappa: The next inn we see, we'll go inside. Put one foot in front of the other. D #4064A: My toes are freezing off, man. Let me hitch onto your horse. Λ-IV Kappa: If I could allow that, I might. But you know, as things go… Kappa doesn't complete her sentence as she notices the wind and the falling snow stand still. An apparition sits above the clouds, growing larger. Λ-IV Kappa: Lambda, at arms! Above the trees! The equites train their ballistas at the sky and D #4064A leaps into the cover of a snowbank. A rush of heat parts the clouds and SCP-7511-I descends as a black, folding mass of feathers. The wings spread open as SCP #7511-I's primary oculus begins to scan the road. Snow melts wherever SCP #7511-I gazes upon it. Without an order, Λ-IV vigilants shoot their bolts at the daemon, but do not damage it. Sheaves of beating black wings extend out from SCP #7511-I, shooting feathers as darts back at the vigilants. The feathers start to smolder, then all catch flame, causing men to scream and be thrown from their horses. Λ-IV Kappa fires a flaming signal for aerial support. SCP #7511-I's many eyes locate D #4064A in the tumult. The primary pupil shines on her, all the while more wings and waves of tendrils grow out of SCP #7511-I. The snow in which D #4064A is caught turns to puddles. BE NOT AFRAID. JAMES BRINGS YOU GOOD NEWS. D #4064A does not immediately move to respond. As another volley of bolts bounces off of it, SCP #7511-I catches two vigilants between its wings and slays them with dozens of darts and talons. Its smoking wings form a canopy in front of D #4064A. YOU. KEZIA. DO YOU WANT GOOD NEWS? D #4064A: How ca— yes, I do!? KEZIA, JAMES WILL GIVE TO YOU A NEW WARRANTY IN THIS LIFE. HE SEES YOU AND YOUR HARD WORK. HE SEES YOUR TIRED FEET AND THE LOVE FOR LORD GOD THAT PUSHES THEM FORWARD. YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO ANY FURTHER. HE OFFERS YOU A BETTER WAY. A WAY LIKE HEAVEN. HE KNOWS OF A NEW EDEN, WHERE WE ARE WARM AND FULL AND ALL DAY WE SING FOR PRAISE TO THE ALMIGHTY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, WHO WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME. IF YOU WALK THE NEW WAY, YOU WILL BE ONE WITH US, WITHOUT WANT AND NEED. The canopy of coal-hot wings grows above and around D #4064A. D #4064A: Why me!? Why do you want me? JAMES WANTS NOTHING. SUCH IS DECIDED BY THE LORD. Interlocking rings of feathers with eyes set alight D #4064A's orange tunic. Her clothes burn away but her skin remains unblemished. LIKE YOUR WORLD, YOU WILL BE BURNING BUT FLOURISHING. The canopy of wings closes around D #4064A and disappears into the primary oculus. Conclusion: After consuming Damned #4064A and the Ecumenical vigilants, SCP #7511-I additionally consumed the horses. The daemon flew east from the scene after the fleet of Λ-IV Aerial ballistas fired upon it. LEVEL V CLEARANCE REQUIRED WHO BECAME A TRAITOR {$caption} Addendum #7511.III— SCP #7511-II SCP #7511-II is the former Pontifex of the Highest Synod, ⳩-XI, who on ██/██/19██ was declared missing upon leaving Compostellana along the Via Santiago. ⳩-XI was not on the pilgrimage at the time of their disappearance. Against the will of the Synod, ⳩-XI was seen riding into the depopulated zone to confer with the Marquis of the Serpent. It was initially believed that ⳩-XI was slain when they did not return. On the 2nd Christmas after the disappearance, a slate was left on the steps of the Reliquary-Church of Santiago de Compostela— TO MY FAMILY IN CHRIST— CHI (Xι-Pώ) RHO — to ⳩-XII for her Sofia— to ⳩-II for his Righteousness— to ⳩-I, for her Animus— to God my Foundation—This is my apologetic on behalf of Archangel James the Witness, the Martyr, the Warrior and the Apostle, who is not a detested fallen Angel. Whosoever slandered his name does not matter at this point, ALL IS FORGIVEN. We must all go to NEW EDEN. Rome will burn, THE TEMPLE BE CLEANSED. The fire THE LORD sent in Babylon through James will spread to ye Romans. GOD NEVER CAST DOWN THE ARCHANGEL JAMES. When the Archangel returned to Earth at Armagedon, he was displeased by Our Ecumene. IT IS THE SAME ROME THAT MADE JAMES A MARTYR. After the Battle of Armagedon, he returned to Heaven to tell THE LORD of our crimes. JAMES SAW ALL OF THEM. After his work in Heaven was done, THE LORD told James to return to Earth so he could be here when the SEVENTH SEAL was broken. JAMES SLAYED THE DEFILERS OF HIS RELIQUARY when he arrived, and would have slain JOHN ONCE KNOWN AS ⳩-XI if he had not vowed to help James build AN ARK. I ask ye Romans to end your attempts to MAKE JAMES A MARTYR AGAIN. The Saint—Creator—Protector, says to YE THAT FEAR THE ARCHANGEL: gaze upon him in NEW EDEN, where he isn't a black bird but instead a PHOENIX MADE FROM RED LIGHT. In NEW EDEN, when we are done working, WE SING FOR PRAISE TO THE ALMIGHTY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, WHO WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME. You must come at once and be chastised by those we once imprisoned and forsook. If you do not want to perish alone in YOUR NEW BABYLON, YOU KNOW THE WAY. The area described in the slate, henceforth SCP #7511, cannot be reached by typical means of travel. Knowledge of the proximate location of SCP #7511 in the Pyrenees is insufficient; personnel must reach the area guided by SCP #7511-I or -II. SCP #7511 contains at least five score of missing persons declared dead. When new means of egress are made available to Our Ecumene, the bombardment of the daemons shall continue. Matthew 20:20-28 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons [James and John] came to Jesus with them and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.” “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.” When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Footnotes 1.

Under the vigilance of CTF Λ-IV, the angels recorded— D #4064A, obscured by the twilight, wind, and snow-haze, trudges through barrens of dirty snow on the outskirts of Roncesvalles, tailed by a retinue of armed Λ-IV equites5. D #4064A: How much further? Λ-IV Kappa: The next inn we see, we'll go inside. Put one foot in front of the other. D #4064A: My toes are freezing off, man. Let me hitch onto your horse. Λ-IV Kappa: If I could allow that, I might. But you know, as things go… Kappa doesn't complete her sentence as she notices the wind and the falling snow stand still. An apparition sits above the clouds, growing larger. Λ-IV Kappa: Lambda, at arms! Above the trees! The equites train their ballistas at the sky and D #4064A leaps into the cover of a snowbank. A rush of heat parts the clouds and SCP-7511-I descends as a black, folding mass of feathers. The wings spread open as SCP #7511-I's primary oculus begins to scan the road. Snow melts wherever SCP #7511-I gazes upon it. Without an order, Λ-IV vigilants shoot their bolts at the daemon, but do not damage it. Sheaves of beating black wings extend out from SCP #7511-I, shooting feathers as darts back at the vigilants. The feathers start to smolder, then all catch flame, causing men to scream and be thrown from their horses. Λ-IV Kappa fires a flaming signal for aerial support. SCP #7511-I's many eyes locate D #4064A in the tumult. The primary pupil shines on her, all the while more wings and waves of tendrils grow out of SCP #7511-I. The snow in which D #4064A is caught turns to puddles. BE NOT AFRAID. JAMES BRINGS YOU GOOD NEWS. D #4064A does not immediately move to respond. As another volley of bolts bounces off of it, SCP #7511-I catches two vigilants between its wings and slays them with dozens of darts and talons. Its smoking wings form a canopy in front of D #4064A. YOU. KEZIA. DO YOU WANT GOOD NEWS? D #4064A: How ca— yes, I do!? KEZIA, JAMES WILL GIVE TO YOU A NEW WARRANTY IN THIS LIFE. HE SEES YOU AND YOUR HARD WORK. HE SEES YOUR TIRED FEET AND THE LOVE FOR LORD GOD THAT PUSHES THEM FORWARD. YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO ANY FURTHER. HE OFFERS YOU A BETTER WAY. A WAY LIKE HEAVEN. HE KNOWS OF A NEW EDEN, WHERE WE ARE WARM AND FULL AND ALL DAY WE SING FOR PRAISE TO THE ALMIGHTY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, WHO WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME. IF YOU WALK THE NEW WAY, YOU WILL BE ONE WITH US, WITHOUT WANT AND NEED. The canopy of coal-hot wings grows above and around D #4064A. D #4064A: Why me!? Why do you want me? JAMES WANTS NOTHING. SUCH IS DECIDED BY THE LORD. Interlocking rings of feathers with eyes set alight D #4064A's orange tunic. Her clothes burn away but her skin remains unblemished. LIKE YOUR WORLD, YOU WILL BE BURNING BUT FLOURISHING. The canopy of wings closes around D #4064A and disappears into the primary oculus. Conclusion: After consuming Damned #4064A and the Ecumenical vigilants, SCP #7511-I additionally consumed the horses. The daemon flew east from the scene after the fleet of Λ-IV Aerial ballistas fired upon it. LEVEL V CLEARANCE REQUIRED WHO BECAME A TRAITOR {$caption} Addendum #7511.III— SCP #7511-II SCP #7511-II is the former Pontifex of the Highest Synod, ⳩-XI, who on ██/██/19██ was declared missing upon leaving Compostellana along the Via Santiago. ⳩-XI was not on the pilgrimage at the time of their disappearance. Against the will of the Synod, ⳩-XI was seen riding into the depopulated zone to confer with the Marquis of the Serpent. It was initially believed that ⳩-XI was slain when they did not return. On the 2nd Christmas after the disappearance, a slate was left on the steps of the Reliquary-Church of Santiago de Compostela— TO MY FAMILY IN CHRIST— CHI (Xι-Pώ) RHO — to ⳩-XII for her Sofia— to ⳩-II for his Righteousness— to ⳩-I, for her Animus— to God my Foundation—This is my apologetic on behalf of Archangel James the Witness, the Martyr, the Warrior and the Apostle, who is not a detested fallen Angel. Whosoever slandered his name does not matter at this point, ALL IS FORGIVEN. We must all go to NEW EDEN. Rome will burn, THE TEMPLE BE CLEANSED. The fire THE LORD sent in Babylon through James will spread to ye Romans. GOD NEVER CAST DOWN THE ARCHANGEL JAMES. When the Archangel returned to Earth at Armagedon, he was displeased by Our Ecumene. IT IS THE SAME ROME THAT MADE JAMES A MARTYR. After the Battle of Armagedon, he returned to Heaven to tell THE LORD of our crimes. JAMES SAW ALL OF THEM. After his work in Heaven was done, THE LORD told James to return to Earth so he could be here when the SEVENTH SEAL was broken. JAMES SLAYED THE DEFILERS OF HIS RELIQUARY when he arrived, and would have slain JOHN ONCE KNOWN AS ⳩-XI if he had not vowed to help James build AN ARK. I ask ye Romans to end your attempts to MAKE JAMES A MARTYR AGAIN. The Saint—Creator—Protector, says to YE THAT FEAR THE ARCHANGEL: gaze upon him in NEW EDEN, where he isn't a black bird but instead a PHOENIX MADE FROM RED LIGHT. In NEW EDEN, when we are done working, WE SING FOR PRAISE TO THE ALMIGHTY, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, WHO WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME. You must come at once and be chastised by those we once imprisoned and forsook. If you do not want to perish alone in YOUR NEW BABYLON, YOU KNOW THE WAY. The area described in the slate, henceforth SCP #7511, cannot be reached by typical means of travel. Knowledge of the proximate location of SCP #7511 in the Pyrenees is insufficient; personnel must reach the area guided by SCP #7511-I or -II. SCP #7511 contains at least five score of missing persons declared dead. When new means of egress are made available to Our Ecumene, the bombardment of the daemons shall continue. Matthew 20:20-28 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons [James and John] came to Jesus with them and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.” “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.” When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Footnotes 1.

SCP-7512 | safe | by fabuIa Item #: SCP-7512 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7512 is frozen in storage locker 36 at Site 18. Any protrusions resulting in SCP-7512 exceeding one kilogram are to be excised and incinerated. Description: SCP-7512 is a slab of human tissue. The entirety of SCP-7512 consists of tumorous growths—with all original tissue burned off during containment. Expansion is independent of nutrients and ceases completely only from cell breakdown. SCP-7512 originated as the engorged liver of Frederick Mason, excised from his corpse after transfer from the Miami-Dade County Police Department. Mason’s infection rapidly spread throughout his body over the latter months of 2020, substantially altering his physiology and mental state. Mason was found dead on 12/1/21, having perished from malnourishment several days earlier. His body had several extra limbs—all seemingly vestigial—and his skin featured large quantities of boils and holes throughout. Addendum 7512.1: Journal of Frederick Mason During Suspected SCP-7512 Infection Monday, October 12th Yogurt and granola, ham sandwich for lunch. 48 meals, I can pay rent. Haven't made dinner for myself yet. Too tired for anything good. My stomach started killing me halfway through work. Just doing soups today, thankfully. Tomorrow I'll make something good for myself. David called. He asked how working from home's been. Told him I've been doing it half a year now. Tuesday, October 13th They called, told me to make more meals. I told them I had enough money with the rate I was going, but they told me to make more meals. I asked if the quota was raised. They said I was sloppy. Wednesday, October 14th 24 tubs. A vegetable mush, mostly potato. The company gave me school lunches this time. So many people do school lunches—it should be okay I only did 24. I made some potato salad for myself. Ate it with salmon. Rachel called. She wanted to hang out. I’m not comfortable with that yet. I told her I wasn’t. She said her mom just got sick but that wasn’t bothering her. I told her mine did too and it is. I said I loved her, hoped we could see each other soon. I meant the first half. Thursday, October 16th It took me two hours to get out of bed. The pain was just too much. My doctor is booked for months. Tuesday, October 20th My mind exists on two tracks. One is agony, crawling through the day with dulled senses & moments of piercing hurt. The other comes in flashes when the lethargy stops—suddenly I am active, pacing and tapping my fingers on random things in the kitchenette. Not only active, I am energised. I am not quite happy, except maybe happy for the pain to recede, but I am something new, or maybe something from before everything went to hell. It was during one of those periods that David called. I think I freaked him out. I mentioned I hadn’t done any work in two days. He asked if I had quit. I said no. He asked if I had any savings. I said not really. He already knew I didn’t keep any, that I worked just enough to keep things ticking over, workloads less than part time. He still asked. He’s worried. He disrupted the flow I was in—I slept three hours after the call. My stomach’s being ripped apart. Thursday, October 22nd. It feels like bugs are crawling over my mouth. Into it, crowding it, then leaving as if nothing happened. I’ve had the feeling before—when I was young. It always used to be my arms though. I spoke to my landlord about paying three months from now. I started work again. I've known her for years. She's known me for years. Irrelevant, or maybe it was because she knows me that it was so hard. She only agreed when I said I'd pay four months worth. Friday, October 23rd Fired, I can't tell anyone. The whole set yesterday was bad. Something in my sickness got in. It’s affecting more than food. I know I should feel mad, or despondent—I feel nothing. Maybe relief. It hasn't changed the strange energy I have, but my hours in bed keep expanding. Without work, I often find there’s no reason to get up. For days I've felt no reason to leave the apartment. I've noticed a rash over my face—most of the right side. It puffs and oozes, but luckily it numbs instead of hurts. My hands felt weaker after touching the pustules. Saturday, October 24th It’s been a day, really two days of no work. The high hasn’t worn off yet. I hope it won’t for awhile. I never realised how much that job dominated me—these diary entities used to be fifty percent work at least. My hands have broken out with something too. These neither hurt nor numb, but now my fingers are bright red with specks of bulging yellow. For some reason, I can’t get myself repulsed. Saturday, October 31st I haven't written for a week—my hands stopped working. Even now they’re very weak, but for days anything fine motor was impossible. I kept picking at the larger cysts. None have burst, but the colour tells me my hands are encased in pus just below the surface. Seeing the little marks I make and taunting them to give little stings or proper jolts, I love to play with my hands. Never have I felt so alive so close to death. I've stopped talking to all of them. My landlord hasn't texted in awhile. I'd only give her one word answers if she did. The rest I let worry over a phone I keep far away. Tuesday, November 3rd I haven't looked at my face in days, but there must be scarring. Every day a zit pops, and too much yellow drips down for it not to scar. My nose feels oddly pristine, but I've had to keep tissues near for discharge. Still, I keep myself elated. Sometimes I think I'm dying, but when I do I find there's nothing wrong in that. At least it keeps any worry of rent at bay. Nevertheless, I'm degrading more and more. My hands keep shaking, skin flaking off there and my legs. Somehow the skin is comforting—bits of my life collecting in the corners of this room. Friday, November 6th When I can, I find myself pacing this room, following the cracks and curves it contains. I walk till my legs give out once more, then crawl to a bed which fails to contain me. The cracks and curves of my body are what occupy me in bed. With warped hands I travel the lumps and cavities which form this face. I haven’t seen it, so I like to conjure a picture of each mark. With hours each day doing this, I must have a good image now. Sunday, November 15th I’ve been gaining more energy. Today I brushed my teeth—I don’t know if I will again. The vibrations caused the pores on my hand to burst—yellow muck shot from my fingertips. It didn’t hurt. It felt exactly like a zit, the pain from pressure leaving all at once. It relaxed me and made me perfectly calm all day, but my fingers didn’t work for hours and I don’t think I want repetition. My face has cleared everywhere but right on my lips. There, they swell without relief. It still doesn't hurt, not even to touch, but on the upper lip they've started to droop. It can be hard to open my mouth now. The boils overlap with my lower jaw—I almost pry my mouth apart when eating. Saturday, November 21st My hands and mouth are becoming something new. The latter has lost its lips, and the replacement keeps extending and sagging. The boils have combined and go down an inch. The former is beautifully strange as well. One hand has shrivelled without the pus—fingers unusable and rapidly sinking into my palm. Luckily, the other hand was never broken, and its digits grow longer from new flesh. I am not yet used to writing with it, but the way my pen fits along two fingers is delightful. Sunday, November 29th The shift is complete. It's like a second throat—food sucked up till it hits teeth. I can’t quite move it, but I can feel the muscles as they contract or wrap around something. I have to be careful with the new organ. A misplaced bite caused not just the normal pain of biting my tongue but also the agony of bursting. One of the lumps which forms this new oesophagus spewed up and down, not nearly enough to choke me but it hurt more than anything else this disease has produced. I know now this must be my purpose, to warp and contort in fantastic ways. Certainly nothing before gave me the joy of this. The pain never receded, but now it is a pain which affirms my life. Around me is the detritus of my new form, proof of what I became, without explanation or reason beyond that it happened and saved me. Wednesday, December 2nd I keep wondering what other organs this body will acquire. Nothing else excites or even seems necessary. I won't write any more. It's much better to explore this flesh. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7512" by fabuIa, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-7512.

SCP-7513 | euclid | Image of SCP-7513 taken from its Tinder profile. Item #: SCP-7513 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7513 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site-13. Access to SCP-7513 is restricted to humans with Level 4 access or above. Site-13 is not to be used for any mission involving extraterrestrials. Staff at Site-13 are to be vetted for any extraterrestrial DNA, while staff working with SCP-7513 are to be intensely monitored for any sign of extraterrestrial influence via monthly check-ins and daily self-testing. Description: SCP-7513 is Forrest O’Sullivan, a 25-year-old male of Irish-American descent. SCP-7513 has an anomalously high encounter rate with sapient extraterrestrial entities, with most reported encounters ending with zero casualties, and the species that said extraterrestrial entity originates from having an amicable relationship with humans from that point on. Interactions between extraterrestrials and SCP-7513 are almost always sexual, with entities offering SCP-7513 to partake in customary courting rituals or to engage in casual sexual activity. When encountering species that are asexual, or have no intention of copulating with SCP-7513, the actions and words of said entities are usually interpreted as flirtatious by SCP-7513. Before containment, SCP-7513 was involved in 13% of incidents regarding Foundation encounters with extraterrestrial species in the past 20 years, the earliest of which being in 2003. Of these incidents that SCP-7513 was involved in, 51% of them have ended with a diplomatic relationship being established between the Foundation and said extraterrestrial species. The other 49% resulted in no further activity being reported from these extraterrestrial species. SCP-7513 was discovered on August 5th, 2021 during Incident 7513-1. SCP-7513 was one of the individuals interrogated for the incident, and upon the investigation of its Tinder account, it was discovered that 75% of all the accounts it had matched with were accounts flagged by Foundation webcrawlers as belonging to undercover extraterrestrials (henceforth referred to as UEs). An investigation into its other social media accounts revealed that: 59% of all of SCP-7513’s Twitter followers were accounts belonging to UEs. 77% of Facebook groups that SCP-7513 had joined were being run entirely by UEs, sometimes with SCP-7513 being the only human in said groups. 95% of SCP-7513’s Instagram followers were accounts belonging to UEs, with 100% of comments found under posts made by SCP-7513 belonging to said accounts. Following this investigation, as well as the discovery of his involvement in prior Foundation incidents, SCP-7513 was informed of its anomalous properties and willingly entered containment. Addendum 7513.1: Online profiles. The following is a collection of profiles utilized by accounts belonging to SCP-7513. Twitter Profile: Forrest, 25, he/him, bisexual, BLM, trans ally. I will block you if you dm me about aliens. Instagram Profile: Forrest, 25, he/him, bisexual, BLM, trans ally. I hate aliens so much and if you even come CLOSE to me with that alien shit I won’t hesitate to block you. Tinder Profile: Yo! My name’s Forrest. I’m 25, bisexual, he/him. If you don’t support BLM or trans people get the FUCK out of here. Anyways about me, I live in Wisconsin. I’m an only child. I‘m pursuing a degree in computer design at the University of Wisconsin.

GO AHEAD. HAVE YOUR LAUGHS. FUCK IT FUCK YOU Addendum 7513.3: Incident 7513-1 On July 30th, SCP-7513 entered a conversation on Tinder with an UE going under the name “Georgiana Davis”, henceforth referred to as POI-481. The conversation can be read below. georgie 💕 Hello! hi. please tell me you’re not an alien. Nope. Why would you wonder that? oh thank god. i’ve been having these messages from people pretending to be aliens. it’s been like once a week.

SCP-7513 frequently conversed with POI-481, talking about plans and daily activities. The final conversation between SCP-7513 and POI-481 was sent on August 5th and can be found below. georgie 💕 all set and ready to go! can’t wait to meet you You too! I’ll be in the back waiting for you my king! udbdbdbfhd your king? Yeah! alright then… The Foundation was investigating an unrelated string of anomalous disappearances when hume levels dropped significantly around the area of the Holden Club, equivalent to hume levels in the presence of an extraterrestrial spacecraft. Command approved for the operatives to set up around the Holden Club due to a rise in extraterrestrial deaths in Wisconsin, and three agents were stationed inside. Due to the hastiness of this operation, the agents were not properly prepared, and didn’t have standard-issue lapel cameras on hand. Fortunately, SCP-7513 was recording the incident on its phone, the transcription can be read below. [BEGIN LOG] <Camera feed starts, it is a closeup of SCP-7513’s face> SCP-7513: Okay, I’m recording. I’m making this for uhhh… evidence? Might get murdered tonight and I’m kinda scared about that. <It sighs> SCP-7513: Listen, I like Georgie, but she seems, I don’t know… too good to be true? I have a bad feeling about this. <It pauses, wiping its forehead of sweat> SCP-7513: Maybe it’s because she’s the only real person who contacted me after all of these ghostings and uh… people pretending to be aliens, yannow? <SCP-7513 takes multiple deep breaths in and out.> SCP-7513: Alright… I’m ready… <SCP-7513 puts the camera in its pocket, covering the view partially> SCP-7513: I’m just gonna be cheesy about it, yeah? This is a fake flower that sprays water… yeah… yeah… I’m just a funny guy, playing a lil joke, haha. <SCP-7513 exits its car and enters the Holden Club, immediately making its way over to the rear of the building> <Camera shakes as SCP-7513 approaches the back wall and walks nearby it, scanning the crowd for POI-481> SCP-7513: Georgie? <Redacted for brevity. The following five minutes consist of SCP-7513 searching for POI-481, and asking other people about POI-481’s whereabouts.> SCP-7513: God damn, where i- ???: I’ve been waiting for ya, darlin~! <Camera shakes, a brief shot of a gigantic hornet (POI-481) bursting through the walls of the Holden Club is shown.> SCP-7513: HOLY SHIT! <Chaos erupts within the building, as many of the attendees, SCP-7513 included, attempt to flee the scene.> <SCP-7513 takes out its phone and holds it on POI-481 as it flies through the air. The embedded Foundation agents take out their firearms and fire at the entity. Several civilians take out weapons and attempt to take it down> SCP-7513: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! <POI-481 flies at SCP-7513, picking it up and flying into the air. The footage is shaky footage of the club’s wall.> POI-481: Heya, Forrest~. Glad you could make it~! SCP-7513: GEORGIE!? POI-481: Hiya, hun~! <POI-481 giggles> SCP-7513: Shit… fuck… fuck! FUCK!! PUT ME DOWN!! POI-481: No can do, hun~. Got a queen that needs a king. <Audio is drowned out by a loud droning noise. This coincides with the arrival of an extraterrestrial spacecraft appearing over the venue.> SCP-7513: Fuck! FUCK!! HELP ME!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!! <Multiple gunshots are heard, one piercing SCP-7513’s skin on its leg.> SCP-7513: FUCK!!! PLEASE!!! SOMEONE!!! HELP! FUCKING HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!! POI-481: Oh, darlin’… we ain’t gon’ kill ya! You’ll be lovin’ yer new life as a King, I tell ya! <SCP-7513’s pleas turn into ineligible screams. The footage turns upwards, revealing the spaceship. The portal inside opens, showing a massive interior similar to that of a beehive. Various massive hornets similar to POI-481 are seen faintly inside the ship.> SCP-7513: NO!!! NO!!!! NONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!! <Footage blurs as SCP-7513 falls to the ground, letting go of its cell phone for a brief moment before grabbing it again. Field reports show that SCP-7513 utilized the fake flower on its shirt’s ability to spray water to blind POI-481, before using its sharp edge to pry itself free from POI-481.> <SCP-7513 is caught by a civilian and quickly flees the scene. The footage ends abruptly> [END LOG] POI-481 entered the ship and disappeared with the rest of its species. Its whereabouts are currently unknown. No casualties were reported. Witnesses were amnesticized and the cover story of structural failure was given to the media. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7513" by Capriccio Farce, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-7514 | safe | Item #: SCP-7514 Special Containment Procedures: Webcrawlers are to actively monitor major social media and filesharing sites for instances of SCP-7514 or SCP-7514-related content. Description: SCP-7514 is a series of cognitohazardous audio recordings produced by the band Skendrix that, when listened to, trigger an obsession with the work of the band and its associated members. In extreme cases, individuals affected by the anomaly will deprive themselves of food and drink in order to focus on listening to music subject to the anomaly. However, the anomaly is typically non-lethal– individuals subjected to extreme hunger or thirst develop the willpower to overpower the anomaly’s effects through the sheer discomfort inflicted by the prolonged deprivation of basic needs. Addendum 1: On January 3rd, 2018, Thomas ██████ of Louisville, Kentucky died1 after what was posthumously determined to be a period of SCP-7514 exposure spanning several months. The following content, deemed to be relevant to his experience with the anomaly, was pruned from his website TomReviews.com. Skendrix And So We Go [Born Loser Records, 8/16] C+ The Death Tape [Born Loser Records, 12/16] C Death On The Plains [Born Loser Records, 7/17] B- Reviews: And So We Go [Born Loser Records, 8/16] What’s going on in Lexington? After reviewing my records for the last three years, I’ve noticed that not once have I given a grade higher than B to a single Lexington act. Must be something in the water. Anyways: boring vocals, uninspiring riffs. There’s worse screamo, but there’s also much, much better. C+ The Death Tape [Born Loser Records, 12/16] Lo-fi production does not a good mixtape make. C Death On The Plains [Born Loser Records, 7/17] According to my partner (who has the unfortunate pleasure of spending his summer months in Lexington) Skendrix played Death On The Plains’s release show in full faux-western getup, dusters and hats and all. They’re committed to the gimmick – and it shows, with a full three tracks on the album being dedicated to Morricone-esque instrumentals haphazardly sowed to slightly atypical screamo yells. It doesn’t not work. B- See Also Mylarama Mylarama Quiet Coughing, Slow Death [Born Loser Records, 4/17] C+ Reviews: Quiet Coughing, Slow Death [Born Loser Records, 9/17] Side project of the Lexington band Skendrix – which I’ve been listening to a lot lately, despite what my prior reviews might indicate. This is a no-frills death metal album. Too no-frills: there’s nothing here I haven’t heard a thousand times before, and the end product is just uninspired. Would be a C, but it scratches a strange itch that I can’t quite describe.

I enjoyed this album as a quasi-ambient experience: I changed my clock alarm to the title track, “James Axestone”, and burned an .mp3 rip I made for my commute. There’s something about it. B+ Screams and Silence [Born Loser Records, 5/17] Sorry for the recent spree of retro reviews – I’ve been listening to a lot of Skendrix and Skendrix-adjacent projects lately, and haven’t had a chance to get to any fresh releases. I didn’t like this album. I tried to make myself like it. I spent hours upon hours poring over every cut on the album, and didn’t stop until my roommate informed me that it’d been a whole three days since I’d even left my bedroom. But I didn’t like it. It didn’t sound right. It was missing something. And I figured out what it it was: Mason left the band in March, and Screams and Silence was recorded without his input. A few of his riffs are on there, but that’s it. The living man was gone. The connection to Skendrix, cut. F Recognized [Born Loser Records, 9/17] Early on in college I started smoking to make myself look cool as I figured it to be the one chemical vice that wouldn't fuck with my brain. This was stupid of me, because as it turns out there's a reason nicotine's a billion-dollar industry — it's a pain to kick, and it was six long months after my last pack before the cravings stopped. Then, one boring evening two years later, I drove to a drugstore in a town about an hour out from where I lived and bought a 14-count pack of nicotine patches. I stuck the entire box on my arm in the parking lot, and came in for a pack the next weekend. I kicked smoking in two months, but this time the cravings never quite went away. This was all my deliberate decision. To this day I still don't entirely understand why I did it, although I was very much present in the moment. I feel like I am smoking very often now. This is the power of good music, or perhaps not exactly good — powerful music, I guess you could call it. I am developing a theory around this. Good music provides an enjoyable experience — but powerful music, which I think this is, replaces experience. I've stopped listening to music when I drive — it makes it incredibly difficult to concentrate on the road. I veer left and right in tune to the vocals and accelerate to match the BPM, which led me to nearly rear-end a tractor-trailer in my used Civic going to work last Tuesday. In light of this I have, for now, resigned. I plan to make this my full-time career. I am rambling. A The Names [Born Loser Records, ?/17] This is the last review I will ever do of any Skendrix-affiliated band (or Skendrix itself, for that matter) period. I’ve started to hear Death On The Plains quietly, in moments of total silence – chunks and wisps of songs, pieces of disconnected riffs. I have zero memory of anything I've written in the last week. And it still doesn’t sound good. Imagine that: falling to such a level of total obsession that all you can hear is mediocre screamo. Not an enviable fate. So I’m going cold turkey. This is a demo tape of You’re Looking At It that I recovered in some sort of web-frenzy. I remember it only vaguely: nerves fried off of a pot of black coffee at 4 am, scrolling through the band’s Facebook, looking for even the roughest track or cut. “Total obsession” may be underselling it. It’s not good. The lyrics are awful. The production is hideous, lo-fi or not. I listened to it once. I don’t feel the need to listen to it again.

I have headphones on all the time now. My roommate leaves food at the door. The landlord knocks and I don’t listen. The Death Tape [Born Loser Records, 12/16] There are signals in the noise. Here’s what happened yesterday: my loving partner of 3 years came by. He knocked on the door, looked in, saw me, and broke down sobbing. He held me in his arms and begged me to take off the headphones – which I did, to the surprise of even myself. He carried me out on his shoulders, my emaciated body bony against him, and exhaled only once he’d put my seatbelt on for me. We drove to his building and sat in the parking lot for a while. Things were silent until I started crying. It was my fault, I said, and always had been – I’d gotten used to giving up so much for my career that eventually I’d go a bridge too far and start neglecting the very basic fundamentals of my self. It’d happened before. I’d gone two days without eating, once. Apathy and a quiet unease with my figure made it easy. It was an interesting feeling, letting myself go for my work. I was a bullet in flight, clear, glassy-eyed – dedicated uncompromisingly to a single goal. He’d stopped me then. It was our third date. I told him about it quite casually after I’d asked him not to make me anything, as I didn’t want to be a bother. An hour later, sitting in his arms, I promised to see a therapist. – When was the last time you talked to her? – A few months, maybe. Not since this all started. I’m sorry. Are you mad? We cried, for a while. He made pasta, his eyes still red from tears. He looked skinny, too. And I promised not to even think about music for the next month, maybe, while he tried to see what we – us, together, as a team – could do about the unpaid bills and my pending eviction. Death On The Plains [Born Loser Records, 7/17] I pretended to fall asleep. I knew his rhythms – the quiet snores, the rustling, the way his arms would grab me and soothe me to sleep when the stress had been too much. I shrugged them off my body and snuck out the window. The sun was cresting in the distance when I arrived back at my apartment, my bare feet covered in sores and bruises from the seven-mile walk down the highway. I bolted my door. I deleted his contact from my phone, and for good measure, threw it out the window. Music [Independent, 12/17] It’s always playing. They cut the power a week ago, but it’s still playing. I can hardly move. My throat burns from thirst – no water, too, either. It’s still playing. I can always hear it, no matter what. The perfect volume, not too loud. I don’t like it loud. It hurts my ears when it’s loud. He liked it loud. I remember that he liked it loud and when we would drive somewhere we would have not-all-that-serious fights about the volume. – If you don’t turn it down I’ll kiss you. – So what. Try it. Kiss me. We would usually end up kissing, most or all of the time. Footnotes 1. To date, this is the only known death from SCP-7514 exposure.

SCP-7515 | esoteric-class | Item #: SCP-7515 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-7515, it cannot be physically contained by current technology. Description: SCP-7515 describes patterns of solar radiation caused by the refraction of anomalous starlight through the chromosphere of Sol. These pattern vary in wavelength and intensity and can manipulate fluctuations in quantum probability that govern the sequence of cause and effect, both on earth and within the solar system. SCP-7515 events are visible in the sky as a bright pattern of light surrounding the sun, commonly referred to as a Parhelion1. Described by Foundation researchers as ‘The Parhelion Effect,’ SCP-7515 events have been observed to correspond to great moments of luck or fortune for individuals affected, (henceforth referred to as SCP-7515-1) though whether this alteration of chance manifests as positive or negative is seemingly random. Since recording of SCP-7515 events began in 18██, at least 3,484 events of high-intensity have been recorded, with the rate of occurrence showing a steady increase over time. Various documents and artifacts recovered from historical astronomers and stargazers of antiquity reveal a vague understanding of SCP-7515's nature in regards to its ‘luck’ effects on SCP-7515-1 entities, though a firm understanding was not established until the Foundation formally began its research into the anomalous events. Ongoing study of SCP-7515 is performed by the current research team, Lambda-22, working under the direction of Dr. ██████████ at Site-██. SCP-7515 is thought to be the origin of several astrological disciplines that draw meaning and effect from patterns of solar bodies, alignment of planets, and rotations of the moon. Efforts have been undertaken by the Foundation to promote cultural disbelief in such practices as part of containment procedures of the true nature of SCP-7515. These efforts are ongoing as known elements of the GOC2 have made attempts to bring the nature of SCP-7515 to light, forcing the Foundation to deploy Mobile Task Force “Sun Dogs” and engage in information suppression operations to thwart any moves towards public recognition of SCP-7515’s anomalous nature. There have been no observed correlations between individual SCP-7515 events, preventing subclassification of radiation patterns, and no understood link between the starlight refracted by Sol and their effects. While SCP-7515 events have no known method of prediction, a greater quantity of events have been recorded in locations of high population density. The results from Lambda-22 monitoring teams are thus far inconclusive. Addendum: 7515.01 Research Studies Conclusion <9/13/2006> After exhaustive study by Lambda-22 personnel and the utilization of a multitude of operations specialists, several of whom came into contact with SCP-7515 events over the course of research, the effects of SCP-7515’s anomalous behavior have been deemed safe by Foundation researchers. Current efforts have been directed towards the research of SCP-7515’s origins and the mechanisms that govern the Parhelion Effect. Research logs detailing efforts conducted over a four year period of investigation are presented in Folder 7515-R-0206. <9/14/2006> ANOMALY RECLASSIFICATION SEALED BY ORDER OF THE O5 COUNCIL PENDING REVIEW BY THE ADMINISTRATOR.

Any unauthorized publication about SCP-7515’s true nature is strictly prohibited, and dissemination of the following entry is punishable by termination. Special Containment Procedures: Ongoing studies are being conducted by research team Lambda-22 alongside select O5 council members to create a possible containment procedure to neutralize the effects of SCP-7515. Lambda-22 has also been instructed to determine the purpose of SCP-179's construction and its correlation with the weakening of certain SCP-7515 phenomena. The current working containment procedure is designated in Document 7515-TCP-04. Previously discussed procedures have been archived in Folder 7515-TCP-ARC. Description: SCP-7515 describes patterns of solar radiation caused by the refraction of exotic variants of light rays projected by anomalous pseudo-stellar entities named False Stars, (henceforth referred to as SCP-7515-2) through the chromosphere of Sol. These patterns vary in wavelength and intensity, but are not directly harmful to carbon-based lifeforms, instead manipulating fluctuations in quantum probability through anomalous means. The purpose or intention of SCP-7515 events is currently unknown and research has been unable to determine a guiding influence to SCP-7515 occurrences. While the Parhelion Effect has been shown to be the cause behind the successful containment of several SK3, XK4, YK5, and one ZK-class6 scenarios that would otherwise have broken containment, is is also the root cause of numerous harmful and disastrous events throughout human history. Table 7515-01: A select list of notable SCP-7515 events and their effects. Event SCP-7515 Instance Recorded Japanese Smallpox Incident <██/██/735> (Exact time is unknown.) SCP-7515 event is recorded by an unknown resident from Dazaifu, Fukuoka, Japan. ██ days later, hospital records indicated a smallpox epidemic rapidly spreading through the community. Historical records find that patient zero of the incident was a fisherman whose boat suddenly capsized at the approximate time of the recorded SCP-7515 event, leaving him stranded in the Korean peninsula for a period of several days during which he is presumed to have contracted the disease, before returning to Japan. The disease quickly spreads out to surrounding regions and results in the deaths of approximately 35% of the population. Sinking of the Hedvig Elisabet Charlotta Incident <Approximate date: ██/██/17██> (Exact time is unknown.) SCP-7515 event is noted by Johan Tobias Lowitz in a recovered journal. Historical records correspond this event with the death of Swedish monarch Gustav III, who was killed along with the crew of the Hedvig Elisabet Charlotta when the aft guns on a passing Russian frigate fired upon the hull of the vessel, sinking it. Swedish records point to the sinking as the act of aggression that began the decade-long Russo-Swedish War, whereas Russian accounts from the frigate in question indicate that the cannon that dealt the critical blow to the Hedvig Elisabet Charlotta experienced an accidental misfire after a crewman slipped on a misplaced wash towel. St Mary's Hospital Medical School Incident <09/02/1928, █:██ am> (Exact time log lost due to coffee stains on early Foundation documents.) One of the first recorded high-intensity events occurs in London, prompting Foundation personnel to investigate areas in and around Paddington, ultimately concluding a lack of observable effect. Scientist Alexander Fleming, working in the nearby St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, would publish an article7 in the British Journal of Experimental Pathology on the 10th of May the following year. It would later be determined by Lamba-22 personnel that this article likely describes the outcome of the event. Attempted containment breach of SCP-2317 <03/13/1956, 2:56 am> Stirrings by SCP-2317 threaten to break the final chain holding it in containment, causing site personnel to fall into a panic. A SCP-7515 event is detected that causes movement within the local tectonic plate, resulting in a large fissure opening within Containment Area 6, drawing tight the chain binding SCP-2317 and causing it to return to a state of rest Apollo 13 Incident <04/1█/1970, █:██am> The Apollo 13 mission launches from Cape Canaveral days prior to the date of the incident. Upon entering the Moon’s orbital field, an SCP-7515 event is detected, resulting in Apollo 13’s lunar and service module suffering severe damage from stray meteorite debris. The crew is unable to maneuver beyond the field, resulting in the ship crashing into the Sea of Tranquility. There are █ confirmed survivors. SCP-076 Breach Incident <██/██/████, █:██ pm> SCP-7515 event recorded moments before the containment failure of SCP-076-02, resulting in [REDACTED] casualties. This incident is notable for being the impetus of SCP-963's state alteration into the form of Dr. Bright, who claims that this SCP-7515 event is proof that the universe hates him. This claim has not been proven, despite corroborating evidence. North Zanesville Incidents <11/22/1998, 7:12 pm> SCP-7515 event detected in the northern regions of North Zanesville, Ohio, United States. Local Foundation agents are deployed to investigate SCP-7515-1 entities, but are unable to locate any persons affected. <11/24/1998, 6:36 pm> SCP-7515 event detected in the northern regions of North Zanesville, Ohio. Foundation agents again sweep the region, but are unable to locate SCP-7515-1 entities. Instances of SCP-3334 are installed across the region for greater accuracy in detecting SCP-7515 events in the case of a repeated occurrence. <11/26/1998, 8:05 pm> SCP-7515 event detected in the northern regions of North Zanesville, Ohio. Previously installed SCP-3334 entities locate the epicenter of the events to be a portion of the property owned by local accountant Oliver ███████. Disguised Foundation agents question the homeowner on any improbable events occurring in recent times. They are told of several instances of misfortune that had occurred while he had been attempting to repair his back porch, forcing him to halt his work. These mishaps were made at times correlating to recorded SCP-7515 events. In an attempt to determine the specific cause, Foundation agents are assigned to watch the property for the next attempt made to fix said porch. <11/27/1998, 6:56 pm> SCP-7515 event detected in the northern regions of North Zanesville, Ohio. Foundation agents time the event to correspond to the exact moment Oliver ███████ attempts to begin repair work. During the event, a ceramic cup of coffee placed on a worktable is struck by a low-flying bird, spilling over the subject and causing him to cease repair efforts. Foundation personnel are dispatched to relocate Oliver ███████ with Class-B amnestic and purchase the property, sealing off the location to prevent further repair. As of 20██, research by Lambda-22 has begun on the site to determine the purpose of the SCP-7515 events. The nature of SCP-7515-2 entities is currently unknown, as all attempts to gather information via interstellar probes have failed, nor have telescopic imagery of the entities yielded any usable data. Their designation is due to their mimicry of many of the properties attributed to stars, and are visually identical when not observed in detail. Whether or not this stellar camouflage is an intentional disguise on the part of SCP-7515-2 entities is unknown. Research is frustrated by the localized manipulation of quantum uncertainty that seems inherent to the False Stars, shielding them from observation via an insufficiently understood variation of the Observer Effect8. Despite this, some correlation has been recorded by Foundation personnel, notably an increase in SCP-7515 events from nearer SCP-7515-2 entities9. Certain SCP-7515-2 entities have been shown to emanate SCP-7515 events in relation to specific time periods, such as a period of 4 months, 2 days, and 3 hours in the year 20██ when SCP-7515-2-3429 was observed to be the sole cause of all Parhelion Effects across Earth, after which the various known False Star entities resumed seemingly random fluctuation. Discovery: The exact date of intentional SCP-7515 monitoring began on August 3rd, 1927 when several installed instances of SCP-3334 began picking up strong readings in the presence of an observable parhelion at the East Arctic Observation Redoubt. The event was brought to the attention of Foundation personnel who began tracking SCP-7515 events globally, with efforts increasing after the events of July 3rd, 2004 involving SCP-179. As part of a routine effort to resume communication with SCP-17910, the being raises both arms forward to point towards the outer rim of Sol. It is observed by microsatellite to suddenly shift 3000 meters into the path of the SCP-7515 event, causing SCP-179 to glow brightly for 2.12 seconds before returning to its previous position. Why SCP-179 felt that the SCP-7515 event was worth defending Earth from became a matter of immediate importance to Foundation personnel, and research team Lambda-22 was commissioned to begin research efforts. Addendum 7515.02 Research Logs from the desk of Dr. ██████████ Research Log 7515-01 Research Head: Dr. ██████████ Date Initialized: 07/05/2004 Location: Site-46 Purpose: To determine a purpose for SCP-7515 events <Begin log> Following the discoveries of the third of July, I, Dr. ██████████ have been named the director of research team Lambda-22 with a mandate from the O5 council to determine the true nature of the SCP-7515 phenomenon. Needless to say, this show of faith from the O5’s presents a truly rare opportunity for my talents to shine, I have no intention of wasting it. I have set my researchers to the task of correlating all recorded SCP-7515 instances for traces of a pattern or direction to their effects. The search has just begun, but already I can sense that success shall soon come to my work. It must. <End log> Research Log 7515-02 Research Head: Dr. ██████████ Date Initialized: 08/12/2004 Location: Site-46 Purpose: To determine the purpose of SCP-7515 events <Begin log> Work has continued for over a month, and I fear that the goal of Lambda-22 is no closer to the completion of its goal that it was at its inception. The team and I have burned the midnight oil through long weeks of work, and yet there is no clear direction to be found throughout the archive of recorded SCP-7515 phenomena. The first great difficulty in our search has been the vague nature of SCP-7515 events to begin with. Though the variations in quantum probability caused by the Parhelion Effect is noticeable with requisite recording equipment, the differentiation between SCP-7515 phenomena and the generalized phenomenon of ‘luck’ is unclear in many circumstances. The second complication is related to the first. In each recorded SCP-7515 event, the result of the occurrence has tended towards the preservation of the human race, despite some truly terrible catastrophes that can be attributed to SCP-7515. Not only have many of the most vile abominations known to the Foundation remained in containment as a result of SCP-7515 events, the outbreak of wars, plagues, and general prevention of death or the end of the human race is almost always an outcome. I wonder if perhaps I should consider presenting paperwork to change the object class of SCP-7515 to Thaumiel for all the good it has done for the Foundation. It is not out of the realm of possibility that all the atrocities for which SCP-7515 is the cause may in fact be the lesser of an unknowable number of evils. But then, why has SCP-179 gone out of its way to block SCP-7515 events if this is the case? As always, work goes on. Success is on the horizon. <End log> Research Log 7515-03 Research Head: Dr. ██████████ Date Initialized: 12/31/2004 Location: Site-46 Purpose: What does SCP-7515 want? <Begin log> I am lost. Months of research. Hours of failed propositions and investigation. Is it all for naught? After many failed attempts to determine the nature of the SCP-7515 origin entities, I was at last able to requisition a hyper-relativistic probe from the Aethernautics Division to gather information from the origination stars ‘up close.’ For all the technological prowess at my fingertips, it seems to be useless. What scattered information the probe returned is nearly as clouded and worthless as our telescopic data. It is as if our instruments simply fail to see the entities, even when pointed directly at them. As if by some mockery of fate, all that they are have become hidden just beyond our observations. The number of confirmed SCP-7515 origination points has multiplied vastly over the course of our research. It is not that all of them have been confirmed to have been the origin of an SCP-7515 event, rather that close investigation of these stars (if that is what they truly are) has revealed a worrying inability to determine much of anything about them. Only SCP-179 has shown the ability to defend against The Parhelion Effect, and I suspect it is merely reacting to the occurrences, not truly predicting them. On the topic of SCP-7515’s purpose, this is something of a closed matter. SCP-7515 is perhaps the primary reason that the Foundation has managed to hold back the vile abominations that sleep alongside us each day, despite the great odds against us, and a driving force behind the development of the entire human race. If these events are the ‘lucky coincidences’ that grease the great wheel of progress that pushes the Foundation ever onwards, I am forced to question: what is the role of our work at all? Were it that the Foundation did not exist at all, would SCP-7515 hold back the evils all the same? Regardless, I no longer question the meaning behind these incidents. Now I wonder, to what end? <End log> Research Log 7515-04 Research Head: Dr. ██████████ Date Initialized: 01/25/2005 Location: Site-46 Purpose: Understanding SCP-7515 <Begin log> The truth is close. So perilously close. The O5 are all but pounding on my door, demanding answers that Lambda-22 was supposed to provide. I am not supposed to be privy to their inner meetings, but I cannot help but know of the arguments within their ranks over the containment of SCP-7515, if such a thing was even possible. The more I have come to know the Parhelion Effect, the more I realize that it’s containment would be true folly. Its reach is vast, its scope grand, and its purpose is essential. Without luck, without the Parhelion Effect, we would all surely fall to ruin. I have tried to make this position clear time and again, but always I am refused. This was to be my moment of ascension, but now I am merely the failure. Lambda-22 is soon to end, one way or another. Answers still elude me. And yet- Yet these fools persist in attempting to contain that which should not be. I have proof! Proof that SCP-7515 is essential for the Foundation’s great work to continue and still I am denied. My researchers have compared SCP-7515 events and their effects with those that managed to be disrupted by our ‘guardian angel,’ SCP-179, and it is clear that the automaton’s interference lessens their sway. Instances where SCP-7515 may have granted individuals the luck they needed for success instead become failures. Failures that will lay waste to all the progress of the human race! Those naysayers who point to events of uncertain disaster that SCP-7515 has failed to influence due to the automaton’s actions are merely the devil on the shoulder of my great work. I shall not allow them to drive our efforts to ruin! And now, the greatest of all follies, the O5’s have authorized the Astronomical Phenomena Division to install an experimental solar shield in a vain effort to block out incoming SCP-7515 events. Already since this prototype began operations, containment breaches have increased by 32% across all sites, and myriad disasters have sprung up across the whole of the world! To my very face, Dr. Argent has maintained that this work is all that holds back the would-be puppet masters of our race from achieving their endgame, but I know this for idiocy. They have forged not a shield, but an almighty sword of Damocles, hanging oh so far overhead. I must work harder, faster. A lucky break is all I need- <End log> Research Log 7515-05 Research Head: Dr. ██████████ Date Initialized: 01/25/2005 Location: Site-46 Purpose: A Lucky Break <Begin log> In my line of work, one hardly is glad to meet the subject of their research. And yet, today I could not be more delighted. The detection of a new SCP-7515 event caught the attention of my researchers and they have determined the epicenter of the event to be none other than this very facility. This information does not surprise me. For 10 minutes before the news of the event arrived at my door, I stumbled upon the meaning behind it all. It is us. We are SCP-7515’s purpose. Scattered stack of paper and notes, recorded over endless days of labor came crashing down upon my station, knocked off balance by my own feet stumbling from out of my chair after another endless night, and lo and behold, for upon my desk the truth was revealed. The right information in the right order can illuminate all mysteries, and this one is no different. SCP-7515 is not simply the cause of many of the most vital successes in containment of anomalies and other disasters, it is the impetus of all humankind. We have been brought up on starlight, guided to glorious purpose by beings we can scarcely understand. The others must know. I will tell them. <End log> Research Log 7515-03 Research Head: Dr. ██████████ Date Initialized: 02/01/2005 Location: East Artic Observation Redoubt Purpose: The False Stars Shine Bright <Begin log> I am found. I see now. The writing on the wall of reality, penned in starlight. SCP-7515 is not a series of isolated incidents guiding some unfathomable luck. It is luck itself, the crones of fate that weave the tapestry of destiny. I was blind, but now, by the light of Parhelion, I see. The False Stars are coming. I’m going now to meet them. <End log> Attached Image: warmembrance.png Addendum 7515.03 Document 7515-TCP-04 <02/22/2004> Proposed by O5-2 Location: ███████ Purpose: To determine the threat that SCP-7515 poses in response to the fate of Dr. ██████████. For the sake of humanity and the Foundation, I believe it is in our best interests to contain SCP-7515 events by any means necessary. Due to the scattered origins of SCP-7515, we cannot contain the many identified False Stars, but instead we must work to prevent their effects from reaching Earth. The core tenants of the Foundation at its founding were to secure, to contain, and to protect. We can not truly say that we have succeeded in these noble goals if we are unable to safeguard this organization and all the peoples of Earth against a guiding hand whose purpose and motives are unknowable. For the well-being of humankind, the Foundation alone must set the course of the future so that the myriad horrors contained within our facilities do not do it for us. SCP-7515 should be no exception. Previous proposals discussed preventing SCP-7515 events from entering the Sol system, but as we have discovered, that simply is not possible at this time due to the anomaly’s incredible scope. Our alliance with SCP-179 is not a full, protective solution as the Lambda-22 report has shown, and so it falls to us to contain this anomaly in its entirety. The successful implementation of experimental solar shields by Dr. Argent and the Astronomical Phenomena Division to block the currently identified SCP-7515 wavelengths shows that a way to contain the Parhelion Effect is now open to us. Only when we are totally free from the grasp of SCP-7515 can we lay claim to our own destinies. O5-4: If I am to understand these findings, what you are proposing is that we should mask the planet with a bit of floating metal? Is this seriously the best thing we can come up with? How can we deploy enough of these shields to account for every possible SCP-7515 event vector? We cannot deploy some thousands, if not millions of ill-conceived devices that blot out sunlight over portions of the earth and expect the masquerade to stand! O5-6: What else do you expect? Experimental data from the Astronomical Phenomena Division have shown that these shields are the first prototype to offer any meaningful protection against a 7515 event. It would not be difficult to create a cover story for when we need to deploy them. Gods know we’ve convinced the world of more absurd things. O5-3: But those experiments were only covering part of the parhelion. How can we expect to fully cover one? It would cause an entire portion of the Earth to be enveloped in shadow for possibly hours at a time. O5-9: In addition to that concern, I note here in this report that there was a spike in Keter and Euclid containment breaches during the time of the experiment. If we were to fully block 100% of all SCP-7515 events, the increase in dangerous breaches may become uncontainable, and perhaps even cause a broken masquerade situation just the same as O5-4 has raised concerns about. As it stands, this report makes it clear that containing SCP-7515 is something we would do at great risk to ourselves, and the Foundation as a whole. O5-2: While some SCPs are better left uncontained, I cannot agree with your position O5-9. This research and the solar shield experiments merely reinforce Dr. ████████’s hypothesis, that SCP-7515 events may be one of, if not the sole reason that the world has come to be as it is. That the Foundation has remained in control. And, perhaps, the reason that there is little we as individuals can do that is beyond this anomaly's sway. How can any of you tolerate the thought of such a violation of our free will? O5-9: Because the results have been overwhelmingly to our benefit! The data has shown that it is extremely likely that these events have stopped containment breaches that may have otherwise been impossible to contain. Certainly, there has been ‘bad’ luck as well as ‘good,’ but we must take the longer view. It is clear that SCP-7515 is aiding in our advancement, not taking full control. This ‘luck’ may influence the tasks to which we apply ourselves, but it is still we who choose the tasks. O5-2: Have you considered that it is because of SCP-7515 events that we have come to consider ‘our benefit’ in the first place? This is a force that has influenced our civilization perhaps from its infancy, if not long before. Even SCP-179, a being that has shown perceptive abilities far in advance of our most technologically capable systems, regards the Parhelion Effect as a threat to us, and has been actively interfering with SCP-7515 events. I will not trust the future of the Foundation to solar abominations, nor will I condone those who would simply wait for them to arrive. I agree that action must be taken against SCP-7515, and that such action should target its myriad sources. Before we ourselves are judged worthy of some False Star’s curse. O5-4: Which is the greater evil then, if you are so willing to take to the crusade path? SCP-7515, or all the misfortune that we might unleash should we contain the Parhelion? I worry that in the pursuit of our purpose, we may open a veritable Pandora’s Box, and experience a disaster that we can not recover from. O5-6: It sounds to me that there will be unfortunate outcomes no matter the path we choose. [A slight pause.] O5-12: If we contain SCP-7515, if we banish the luck that has brought us this far, what will we be then? O5-1: I suppose we shall simply be ourselves. If that is not enough, if that has never been enough, then perhaps we do not deserve the world that SCP-7515 has wrought. _ RESULTS OF DELEGATIONS FOR CONTAINMENT AGAINST CONTAINMENT ABSTAIN O5-3 O5-1 O5-6 O5-4 O5-2 O5-7 O5-5 O5-9 O5-8 O5-11 O5-10 O5-12 O5-13 STATUS DUE TO TIED VOTE, PROPOSAL AND ARGUMENTS HAVE BEEN SENT TO ADMINISTRATOR FOR FINAL DECISION. Footnotes 1. SCP-7515 involves a parhelion, a natural event described by contemporary academia as “a mock sun appearing in the form of a bright light, sometimes near the sun, and tinged with colors like the rainbow, and sometimes opposite to the sun. The latter is usually called an anthelion. Often several mock suns appear at the same time.” 2. Global Occult Coalition 3. end of the world via species dominance overthrowing/killing off/etc. the human race 4. XK- end of the world via destruction/disappearance of the world 5. YK- end of the world via destruction/disappearance/etc. of the observable universe 6. ZK- end of the world via destruction/disappearance/etc. of all observable reality 7.

Nearer here is a relative term. The closest SCP-7515-2 entity to the Sol System is 1400 light years away. 10. Though SCP-179 has been unresponsive to Foundation communication, the automaton has continued in it's efforts to indicate and prevent astronomical dangers to the earth. Foundation personnel have continued efforts to communicate with the anomaly as part of ongoing research into it's origins and construction. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7515" by Dr Roses, from the SCP Wiki.

Further investigation into the event and the potential for a repeat is ongoing. DESCRIPTION: SCP-7518 was an anomalous event that took place on June 4th, 2021, in which Site-18 Facility Director Iovanius Neer was instantaneously vaporized. Moments prior to the event, a vertical beam of light measuring 1 meter in diameter, extending from the ceiling from the floor, manifested around Neer in his office. The event resulted in a 5-meter crater around the area where Neer was seated. Investigation of the crater afterward revealed a fluctuating but high level of Akiva radiation. ADDENDUM 7518-1: NOTE The following paper note was discovered in the center of the resulting crater. Its significance is unknown. Unforgiven, you fool. They were failed by you more times than I could ever be merciful for. Memorial services will be held on Friday at lunch. All Site-18 personnel are invited to attend. To those left. May this be the end. My name is Iovanius Neer. I’ve been a Site Director for 15 years. Before me, my father held the same title at a different facility for 30. These walls, despite the bitterness of the stories they may tell, are my home. They always have been. I was only 10 when my father learned I had immunity to amnestics. I was, as a 10-year-old does, ruffling through my father’s baggage as he packed for an “overnight business trip”; a trip not uncommon for him to take. I found, in the deepest pockets of his briefcase, a file on an anomaly. My reading comprehension was poor, but I understood the words “danger” and, from my father’s own obviously-engrained manners of speaking, “anomaly”. I’ll never understand how he got away with that being a common word in his lexicon around my mother without raising an eye. He tried every kind of eraser he had on him. I don’t think the system of classification back then was even the same as today, with the simple letters per tier. He quickly realized they had no effect when I kept complaining about the needles and asking to read the file again. He was panicked. He also knew what he has on his hands, and it scared him further. He didn’t bother saying a word to me before we got in a car and drove to Site-893. On the way there, he talked to himself about what this could’ve been. An overexposure on his part, probable. A strange gift from a god my father still believed in, even more probable. In his eyes. Ironically, I can’t remember the conversation he had with his coworkers about what to do. I think one suggested he give me up for adoption. Most of the others shot that down as a security risk. My father didn’t happen to comment on it. It seems as though he considered it. A natural immunity to amnestics is a surefire way to be hired by the Foundation. It’s a little uncanny how many of our employees end up here just because we’d prefer more workers over killing the immune. HR has both a field day and a pang to the heart, usually, the latter only depending on skill. However, as my father explained to me that day, I told nobody of this ability. All 3 of the coworkers he talked to that day have either resigned or been terminated; the extent of my father's involvement in which, I have no clue. Because of this, I can remember everything. Any confidential project that the O5s have exposed me to, I can remember just as well as anything else. I could tear this place down if I was disloyal. I write this letter because I, in recent times, have been struck by a heavy guilty conscience. In the past few years, 3 employees under my purview have… disappeared. 1 deceased, as her own choice. 1 presumably deceased, launched into the depths of the universe. The last one… the last one is where memory comes into play. A few years ago, I was drafted secretly to participate as the facility director of a new, highly important facility. Me and a small group of employees were snatched up from our homes and taken to this… remote location. We were told this was a highly important assignment, and that everyone was here for a reason. It was all a lie. As we’d soon discover, we’d been placed in a death match against one another to free ourselves from a facility-turned-cage. They told us it was the Insurgency. It was not. I was the first to die. Maimed by another participant, greedy and trying to get ahead. After suffering what felt like an infinite amount of pain, I perished. It was then I learned it was a simulation, created by the O5 Council. I became a simulated spirit, floating through lines of code. After a moment, all I could see was inside the facility, but from above. I became a spectator. Forced to watch. They wouldn’t unplug the dead until the simulation had ended. So, I saw everything. I watched person after person, death after death in an increasingly cruel fashion. There was no way to turn away. At the center of this was a man named Anton Radu. He worked at Site-18 under me. He was quiet, calm, soft-spoken. Yet he managed to win. He was not the final survivor, but the final person to pass the trial. It was a test to find the next O5; I had just witnessed the entire thing, his identity known to me the entire time. When we were unplugged, they filled us with every amnestic available. This was not knowledge that could leave their ring, and they had too late realized we had been forced to watch it transpire. My immunity, however, remained the same. They didn’t know; I walked with full memory in tow. Anton had a best friend at Site-18, a man named Richard. When Anton went “missing”, Richard was furious. He spent night after night watching the nearby area, watching every security footage available, interrogating every member of staff, from janitor to myself. I wanted to tell him. It hurt to see this man, who had already lost his father and who had ended his last conversation with Anton poorly, cry in the cafeteria, hoping his friend would arrive. But the punishment for revealing an O5’s identity is death. And they would have amnesticized Richard anyway. I couldn’t help him. My heart dies every day I think of how the memory of Anton will fade into unknowability. I’m the only person who will ever know he’s O5-12. Then there was Katherine. She was Site-18’s most gifted chemist, being the only graduate of an Ivy League in our facility. There was a brilliant mind behind every action she took, yet she lacked the absence of empathy characteristic of her field. She was found dead a year after Anton disappeared. Self-induced poisoning. An ungraphic and hopefully unpainful death. It was a shock to all of us, at 18. Richard, the man who was her husband, of course, hurt more. But it was shocking because none of us had seen it coming. I feel worse by the day for what happened to Katherine. Not that it’s truly my pain to feel — she is the one who paid the price for our ignorance — but simply because I don’t understand why it happened. I’ve always assumed, to some degree, that I’m in tune with my employees. That I can tell when something has affected them when they need someone to talk to. My own ignorance was too much, and I’m left unsure about what to have thought. She sought therapy before. Once, during a particularly grueling year with containment breach after chemical spill, over and over. But we were short-staffed, and it was a time of crisis. We needed her to be the only competent chemist in the room, and, well, I can’t say what would have happened without her. I needed her to save us, was it not the correct decision? The loss of Katherine destroyed Richard. For some time, at least, he was inconsolable. There was no helping him, and despite Therapy’s attempts, his behavior seemed permanently changed. Until a project came along, years later. A pilot was needed, for an investigation into deep space. Richard, to all of our surprise, he volunteered. I questioned it, questioned him, but he seemed dead set on being the man. There was no convincing him otherwise. It was a one-way trip. The HR Department here at Site-18, they ran diagnostics on Richard, and he came through valid. I doubted the legitimacy of their results, but I’ve been taught by years in the system that our bureaucracy was refined to be correct for a reason. I didn’t want to let my feelings overcome what seemed to rule in the objective. So I signed on. His story ended quickly. There was an issue with the launch sequence; an inexplicable issue, one that seemed to defy what the launch was capable of. A launch sequence, one where a key entered by my hand was necessary, malfunctioned. He was sent… to the beginning of the universe. Gone without a trace, his best and truly only friend ascended, and his most loved one dead. I had turned the key on the final of this trio. These 3 and their lives, it has led me to rethink so much of my career. I’ve been blind to so much that goes on around me, focused only on the objective. What I thought was objective. There are now, however, 3 instances of blood on my hands to show the mistakes I’ve made. Most employees of the Foundation would themselves just erase this. It’s easier to handle the burden of life’s challenges when you cannot acknowledge the burden at all. But I can’t. Maybe this immunity was a punishment instead of a blessing, one that was meant to eventually show me exactly what I’d done, forever. Unable to forget any of this, that inability to forget pulling down 3 valuable people in a series of terrible events. I’ve contemplated where I’ll go when I join Richard and Katherine; and inevitably, Anton. Though I myself dissociated from faith — as many in the Foundation do after exposure to the plurality of “god” — I was still raised to believe in a heaven, a hell, and a stern yet benevolent god. Which is why I stand before you today. I ask, if there remains a god out there, for forgiveness. I have bore witness to things that I will never lose sight of, and I understand some of this may be of my failings; but if you are benevolent like we are lead to believe, I hope you will see it in your heart as reasonable to let me see a light upon my passing. It was not something I had every hand in controlling. The weight of their souls burdens me every day, Lord. I hope you could understand. Thank you. « LIFE IS EVER TURNING » ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7518" by ThatGuyThatTime, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-7518.

SCP-7519 | esoteric-class | Item #: SCP-7519 Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to SCP-7519-1 has been sealed. No contact between SCP-7519-1 and Foundation personnel is to be allowed, regardless of clearance. Personnel are forbidden from coming within less than 10 meters of SCP-7519-1. The contents of SCP-7519-1 are not to be observed. Personnel attempting to observe the contents of SCP-7519-1 are not to be reprimanded, as the punishment of violating this procedure is the action itself. Any sounds coming from the interior of SCP-7519-1 are to be ignored. Any rabbits trapped inside are to be left unattended to avoid risking exposure to SCP-7519-1's contents. No rabbits are to be recruited by the Foundation. Any rabbits found to have been working for the Foundation are to be terminated. Description: SCP-7519 is an anomalous phenomenon that affects pregnant women worldwide. Pregnant women affected by SCP-7519 will give birth to a specimen of Oryctolagus cuniculus (European rabbit) at the end of their gestation period. SCP-7519 cannot be predicted prior to birth, ultrasound images of fetuses carried by women affected by SCP-7519 do not show any abnormalities. SCP-7519's effects will become apparent only after birth, during which a single specimen of Oryctolagus cuniculus will come to term. Rabbits that are born from SCP-7519-affected women are superficially non-anomalous, however, these rabbits appear to age at a much slower rate compared to their regular counterparts. In rare cases, a woman affected by SCP-7519 will give birth to a variable number of non-anomalous human infants (ranging from one to three) along with an instance of Oryctolagus cuniculus. The reason for this anomaly is unknown. SCP-7519-1 is a Standard Type IV animal containment unit located within an isolated wing of Site-21. Contained within SCP-7519-1 is a single instance of Oryctolagus cuniculus. It is unknown how this particular specimen came under containment, although Foundation records indicate that SCP-7519-1 was built in 1933, but not for the specific purpose of containing what it contains now. Prior to the entrance to SCP-7519-1 being sealed, specimens of Oryctolagus cuniculus would occasionally exit the containment chamber. A background search would reveal these specimens to be rabbits which had been born to SCP-7519-affected women. In many instances, these rabbits were revealed to be Foundation employees. The practice of recruiting rabbits as Foundation employees has been forbidden to prevent any more rabbits from infringing containment protocols. Addendum-01: What follows is a partial list of SCP-7519 occurrences. Date Location Description 02/01/2001 Westview Medical Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States 27 years old Mya Poole gave birth to a single European rabbit at 12.07 pm by local time. This rabbit (named Aidan Poole) was raised by Ms. Poole until they left home at age 18 to pursue a degree in molecular biology.

Contained within a cage within the chamber is a single European rabbit who carefully observes Spencer's every move. The Rabbit: It's a pleasure to welcome you to my humble home, sir. Dr. Spencer: (clucking sounds) The Rabbit: It appears I can, sir. Dr. Spencer: (hissing sounds) The Rabbit: I'm here because you put me here. I must ask why you are here, sir. I believe your presence is not authorized. Dr. Spencer: (growling sounds) The Rabbit: Now now. Do you think that to be appropriate language, sir? Dr. Spencer: (sounds of teeth grinding) The Rabbit: I believe you're a bit misguided sir. Dr. Spencer: (sounds of snorting) The Rabbit: I must admit recruiting rabbits is a rather… unorthodox hiring practice for such a prestigious organization, sir. But what does your employers' poor hiring ethic have anything to do with yours truly? Dr. Spencer: (sounds of angry foot stomping) The Rabbit: Sorry to interrupt you sir, but don't you think this is highly hypocritical of you? Dr. Spencer: (humming sounds) The Rabbit: After all, you yourself happen to be a rabbit. Dr. Spencer: (sounds of whimpering in disagreement) The Rabbit: I'm sorry to differ with you sir. But you are a rabbit. You've always been a rabbit. I should know sir. I've always been here. Dr. Spencer does not respond. Dr. Spencer is a rabbit. The Rabbit: That's strange isn't it, sir? The fact that you have no recollection of that at all. Dr. Spencer does not respond. Dr. Spencer has always been a rabbit. The Rabbit: Oh, but you will, sir. You feel it now, don't you? Dr. Spencer attempts to respond, but all that comes out is a clucking sound. Dr. Spencer is a rabbit. Dr. Spencer looks down at their hands. They are soft and covered with fur, much like a rabbit's paws. This is because Dr. Spencer is a rabbit. Dr. Spencer panicks. Dr. Spencer exits SCP-7519-1 in a distressed state. The Rabbit smiles widely. Dr. Spencer is a rabbit. Dr. Spencer has always been a rabbit. <END LOG> Update: In light of the events of this interaction, the entrance to SCP-7519-1 has been sealed and containment procedures have been revised accordingly per executive order to prevent further occurrences of SCP-7519. These revised containment procedures have been effective so far, seeing that no rabbits have been employed by the Foundation ever since. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-7519" by alanthechair, from the SCP Wiki.
