This archived version of SCP-5099 was compiled by the Foundation prior to Incident 5099. Additionally, SCP-5099 should be considered as a case study and template of what can occur when a combination of lax Specific Containment Procedures and ineptitude are present within the Foundation. Please see the link at the bottom of this document for the current page regarding SCP-5099. Item#: 5099 Level3 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo The current location of SCP-5099 at Site-24. Special Containment Procedures SCP-5099 is contained at Site-24, known to the public as the Patomskiy Crater. An ongoing Foundation misinformation campaign is to suggest that the Patomskiy Crater’s origins are either, 1) the impact crater of an ultra-dense meteorite that had sunk into the earth upon impact or, 2) the result of an expanding pocket of natural gas. The 'Patom Crater Conference'1 held in 2010 suggested that the crater is of purely geological origin and discredited the idea of it being caused by an astrological impact. Furthermore, the conference suggested that the event that produced the Patomskiy Crater occurred between 200-300 years ago. Site-24's base diameter is about 160m and its height approximately 40m. It is conical in shape and the crown is ring-shaped. In the centre, where SCP-5099 is located, there is a smaller mound with a height of about 12m. The volume of the crater is estimated as 230,000–250,000m3 with a weight of about one million tons. At present, efforts to extract of SCP-5099 from its impact crater are underway. Description SCP-5099 is the designation given to a 112.5m double-helical object resembling a lance of unknown origin found buried inside of the Patomskiy Crater. Current estimations place the age of the object as 5 billion years old, whilst its arrival on Earth is dated to an approximated 3.5 billion years ago. The majority of the object remains buried underneath the surface of Site-24. Current excavation efforts have uncovered 63m of the object. The object is composed of a black metallic substance of non-terrestrial origin constructed into a double-helical shape that winds closer together as it narrows. At the end that is lodged into the Earth, the two strands are unwound to form two long tines measuring 10m in length each. The object is approximately 10m wide and progressively narrows as it reaches the head of the object. During efforts to excavate SCP-5099, several fragments have broken off the surface of the object due to the difficulty of extraction. Each fragment had a surface area of roughly 27m2. These fragments carried inscriptions and were sent to the base of Site-24 for analysis. Each fragment except SCP-5099-4 and SCP-5099-5 was analysed by Dr. Hans Higgs, Head Researcher at the Foundation's Department of Xenohistory. His findings have been appended to the document under Addendum 5099.1 - Fragment Analysis. Due to Dr. Higgs's eccentric disposition, his analysis of the fragments was uploaded as scans of written documents. Unbeknownst to Dr. Higgs and the rest of the staff at Site-24, the instance they labelled as SCP-5099-D was, in reality, the sixth and final fragment of SCP-5099's inscriptions2. This is because Junior Assistant Field Researcher, Dr. Katelyn Morgenthau had independently analysed two fragments of SCP-5099 by herself, that she designated as SCP-5099-4 and SCP-5099-5. Dr. Morgenthau's findings have been appended to the bottom of this document, see Log 15/2/2010 and Log 3/3/2010 for relevant information concerning the fragments. Addendum 5099.1 - Fragment Analysis Fragment Analysis - 11/12/2009 Subject: SCP-5099-A Description: SCP-5099-A was the first fragment recovered from Site-24. As a researcher of Xenohistory, the implications of this discovery are fascinating. The very first artefact of extraterrestrial origin in the entire world. Radiometric dating suggests that this very piece of the object originates from some 5 billion years ago. The inscription it bears is primitive and crude, most unlike the manufacturing prowess required to construct the object itself but I digress. SCP-5099-A is inscribed with a depiction of SCP-5099 impaled into a crudely drawn amorphous mass beneath it. I can only speculate that this mass depicts the very crater that we have found it within. Above the object, the artist has drawn several star patterns that Dr. Morgenthau cannot correlate with any known star constellation in the northern hemisphere. Further excavation efforts are underway to retrieve the next part of the mural but I suspect that it may break another rough fragment away. Fragment Analysis - 23/1/2010 Subject: SCP-5099-B Description: As I predicted, the next fragment has broken away from the main body of the object of our obsession. SCP-5099-B seems to be the next piece of our increasingly complex puzzle. The first thing that leaps out at the observer is what appears to be a diagram of some sorts. It seemingly depicts three ancient organisms. A fish-like animal that resembles a specimen of the Osteichthyes Superclass, known in the common vernacular as the bony fish, a primitive member of the Reptilia class and a specimen closely resembling a humanoid. I suggest that these may be the ancient civilisation's attempts to depict their knowledge of evolution. Secondly, the humanoid figures are gathered around the object with their hands raised aloft. Perhaps this object was of significant religious significance to our ancient alien race. Unfortunately, I very much doubt there are any alive that remain to tell us of its significance. Fragment Analysis - 12/2/2010 Subject: SCP-5099-C Description: SCP-5099-C is the designation I have given to the most recent specimen discovered by me and our research affiliates at Site-24. This item marks a radical departure from the previous two fragments recovered by our team me. Unlike the other two fragments which seemed to depict the object as some symbol of reverence and religious importance, this fragment shows crude depictions of weapons of war far beyond anything created by the Foundation or mankind. The humanoid figures are directing their attention towards the amorphous mass previously shown in SCP-5099-A but in this instance it seems that the object Lance is being utilised as a weapon by the humanoid figures. It is my personal interpretation that this is a metaphorical representation of the humanoid species' rejection of tribal religious doctrines. In addition, with my report, I leave a closing statement. Despite some paranoia and dissent from members of the Site, everything is fine here. Any reports you receive from staff should be treated as nothing more than a rejection of my style of research. Fragment Analysis - 24/3/2010 Subject: SCP-5099-F Description: I hope this is received by whoever has been collating our research, documentation and evidence. Site-24's internet connection was isolated only two days ago, the suspect has been apprehended by Site Security trying to access SCP-5099. They have been sent for psychiatric evaluation at the PsychEval Suite of Site-24.3 Regarding SCP-5099-D, the object depicts a crowned humanoid with an implement in hand inscribing iconography onto SCP-5099 before laying down prone beside our object. This, I believe, is the complete depiction of the history of our extraterrestrial race. I have not come to a sufficient conclusion as to how SCP-5099 was able to reach our planet but I am absolutely certain that the object and its contents are extraterrestrial in origin. Extraction continues unabated. Addendum 5099.2 Log 15/2/2010 My name is Dr. Katelyn Morgenthau, junior assistant field researcher at Site-24. I'd like to explain why I directly contravened a Level 3 order by Dr. Hans Higgs. I can't trust him. He's been behaving strangely ever since he found the first fragment of the mural. I only got glances at it since my main job is to monitor the excavation team but I managed to get a quick glance at it during a meeting with him. It only got worse as he found more of them. At first, I thought his strange behaviour was just down to what everyone told me when we got here. "Oh, Kate, the doctor's a bit eccentric.", "Hey Katie, Higgs might scare you, he's a little odd." But that's not what is weird about him. It's everyone here. They're all behaving strangely, ever since we breached the dig site. They're paranoid, frightened and some of them are downright depressed. Agent Miles didn't say hello to me yesterday for the second day in a row. He always says hello. I went down yesterday to the dig site. It's bizarre. Tunnels of rock with the object lodged deep inside of it. But as I clambered over the debris, I spotted something in the pile of rubble. A fragment of the mural. Someone must have missed it when sweeping the tunnels of the rubble. It's not surprising really that someone would miss it. The object itself was built over 5 billion years ago, I'd be surprised if I didn't have bits falling off me if I was 5 billion… Anyways, onto the damned metal slab. It doesn't correlate with the information that the other research staff have told me. It shows, well, I'm not quite sure what the hell it is trying to show. It's this gigantic humanoid figure that towers over SCP-5099 and the various humanoid figures that have been described to me. The weirdest part is its face. Its face is two hands clasped over one another, with their fingers interlinked and woven together. The next scene shows several of the humanoid figures with the same hands imprinted over their faces but they've sunken to their knees and seem to be fighting the other humanoids. But this doesn't match anything they've told me. I'm wondering, maybe I don't have high enough clearance for them to tell me the truth about the object but that just raises more questions. Why are the Foundation keeping me in the dark? Log 23/3/2010 This is Dr. Katelyn Morgenthau again, Junior Assistant Field Researcher at Site-24. I managed to bring down the on-site SCiPNET connection and re-route it through my personal computer. I think I only have two days at best before someone repairs it. I found another fragment down inside the dig site, it's where I live, away from the others. I could only take pictures of it, once again, I'm not strong enough to shift the entire thing myself. None of the other staff dare go down into the dig-site now. The noises keep them all away. Please, whoever hears me, there has been a serious containment breach at Site-24. Dr. Hans Higgs and the other staff are behaving really strangely. The fragment, oh the fragment tells me why. It spoke to me and told me of the truth. There's something down there, beneath the spear. It is a spear too, well a bident to be more accurate but even still, it's a weapon. It keeps it at bay, prevents it from moving. Please, someone, anyone. Before its too late. Send an MTF. They're knocking on my door, they want me out. The hands don't stop, they cover the walls in my dreams and close about my throat. please get me out of here i just want to go home i never asked for this, please send someone.

SCP-5100 | keter | [PLEASE INPUT CORRECT 5/5100 SECURITY CREDENTIALS] [CREDENTIALS ACCEPTED - DISPLAYING FILE: SCP-5100] Item #: SCP-5100 Level 5/5100 Classified Site-271, located in Gansu province. Photograph taken approximately 4 months after SCP-5100. Special Containment Procedures: Knowledge of SCP-5100 is restricted from all personnel globally apart from senior administrative members, and personnel in relevant regional sites. Personnel in these sites are forbidden from discussing SCP-5100 with personnel in sites in other countries, with severe penalties for violation of this rule. Immediate containment procedures are focusing on re-containing the anomalous entities that have been lost as a result of SCP-5100. As of the time of writing this document, 13 entities have been recovered and contained at sites in border countries by Mobile Task Forces, and the locations of 8 more have been identified and are awaiting recapture. The second priority is the reclamation of Foundation sites in China, and powering them back up as soon as possible. If lost personnel cannot be recovered, then sites are to be resupplied with personnel recruited from local organizations. Engineers are to be imported to repair containment equipment after the sites have been restocked. The Chinese civilian government has been made aware of SCP-5100, but has been advised that their assistance is not necessary or desired. Description: SCP-5100 refers to the complete cessation of all Foundation activity within the borders of the People's Republic of China, which occurred on 12th February 2019. All complex machinery lost the ability to function, all personnel either stopped communicating or were confirmed as missing, and all 201 sites in the country lost electrical power. Fifty-three anomalous entities breached containment immediately after the event due to the failure of containment equipment. The cause of SCP-5100 is currently unknown. The event occurred spontaneously, and as of the composure of this document, no organizations or Groups of Interest in China or elsewhere have claimed responsibility for the event. No anomalies powerful enough to incur such an event have been connected to SCP-5100. A large-scale investigation is still ongoing into the cause of SCP-5100. At the current time, the location of all missing personnel and equipment is unknown. Kant counters have not registered an abnormal Hume Count in China before or immediately after SCP-5100, which has generally ruled out the possibility of a reality alteration event being responsible. Discovery: SCP-5100 was noticed after an operation being undertaken as part of Project Carnarvon (details of this project are attached at the end of this component) near Xi'an suddenly ceased to communicate with researchers at Site-346 in Southern Mongolia. Subsequent efforts to recontact the team failed. Site-346 then tried to contact sites close to the team's operation, which was unsuccessful. Site-346 raised a regional alarm, and a message composed of information regarding the situation was relayed to the central Foundation site in Beijing. However, this message was repeatedly unable to get through to the site after multiple attempts. Project Overview INFORMATION CORRUPTED Project Carnarvon A Project excavation in Northern Afghanistan in the 1960s. Project Carnarvon was founded in 1960 by a group of Foundation archaeologists when they presented a proposal to the O5 Council. The proposal detailed an incursion into the Valley of Kings near Luxor, Egypt, in order to capture potential anomalies before civilian teams could locate them. Since the 1960s, this has expanded into a global operation. The current aim of the project is the interception of important archaeological finds after they are discovered by civilian teams, and the exploration of them for anomalous artefacts or properties before civilian teams can perform their own operations. The Project has been responsible for the successful investigation of numerous high-importance sites across the world, and the retrieval of numerous anomalous artefacts of high importance. These artefacts have allowed Foundation researchers to understand the anomalous capabilities of past civilisations and peoples, as well as solving some contemporary archaeological mysteries. Some of the most significant Project Carnarvon activities include a study of the Shroud of Turin, an excavation of Göbekli Tepe in Southern Turkey, a dive off the coast of Antikythera Island, Greece, and the current Project excavation in Xi'an, China. IMPORTANT NOTICE: As of the 12th of February 2019, the SCP-5100 event has led to to the de facto end of all Project Carnarvon operations, as the vast majority of Project equipment and personnel were located within China at the Xi'an site when SCP-5100 occurred. The Project has been shelved and returned to a conceptual phase, pending revival once the more direct impacts of SCP-5100 are dealt with. Note: This document is automatically updated with archived logs from the current/most recent Project Carnarvon expedition. [DATA CORRUPTED - ARCHIVAL EQUIPMENT FAILURE] Team Leader: Look up. Stars. Or, they look like stars at least. Drennan: Pearls? Or some other gemstones? Tai: It's paint. Comes off in my hand. Potentially anomalous substance? Team Leader: Make a note of that. We'll collect some samples when we're finished exploring the main chamber. Sharapov, how close are we? Sharapov: Not far now, I think. I'm not detecting any anomalous reading from the central chamber. Drennan: The way the front door was, I'll believe that when I see it. Tai: I hope the guys back at 221 got these suits working properly. I don't want 13 years of effort to end with mercury poisoning. Sharapov: Don't worry, they'll work. Nothing they've ever made has fucked up before. Tai: Hope you're right. 4 minutes of no communication, with the sound of footsteps discernible. Team Leader: We're here. Drennan, torch? Drennan: Right. Team Leader: Looks like Sharapov was right, no sign of anomalous protection. Just some very old rope and a simple slider. Tai: We need to cut that? Sharapov: I don't think so. I'll just slide it across? Team Leader: Go ahead. A very quiet, soft scraping sound is recorded. Sharapov: There we go. Easy enough. A slow, heavy creaking sound is heard. Drennan: Here we are, then. Tai: Shit. Well, it's certainly grand enough for a man like him. Drennan: Look at all that jade. We could make a fortune, if we were here for that. That structure in the middle, is it… Sharapov: Has to be. Team Leader: Right, enough staring. Let's get to work. Drennan, go and test those sculptures over there. Tai and Sharapov, there seems to be a coin horde of some sort of there, go and sort through those. Tai: When has the Project ever found anomalous money? Team Leader: Today could be the day. Just sort through it. Drennan's microphone picks up a light scraping sound. Drennan: Can't see any anomalous properties on these sculptures. I'm not quite sure what they're depicting, though. Tai: Looks like some kind of serpent to me. Any kind of art we can- Sharapov: Stop. I hear something. Tai: Hear what- Sharapov: I said stop. I heard something. A minute of silence, before a light tapping sound is heard. Drennan: I think I hear it too. Sharapov: It's coming from in there. Team Leader: We're going to open it up. Tai: Are you sure that's a good idea? Team Leader: It could be an anomaly, and we don't want it to damage itself bouncing around in there. Four people is enough to lift the lid. Tai: Fine. Let's all take a corner… there. Team Leader: Lifting in 3, 2, 1… The sound of rock scraping against rock, the team making audible sounds of struggling. Drennan: Fuck, this is heavier than it looks. That was tough. Team Leader: Quick, put it on the ground. A loud thud is recorded. Sharapov: Looks like some kind of tarp, or cloth. It's beautiful, look at the imagery… Tai: Should I pull it away? Team Leader: Go for it. [ERROR - ARCHIVAL EQUIPMENT FAILURE] Addendum.1: Approximately 4 months after the SCP-5100 event, the containment breach was stabilised to the point that other actions relating to the event could be carried out. A Foundation site in China was selected for exploration by a team consisting of MTF Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats") Exploration Video Log Transcript Date: 15th June, 2019 Exploration Team: MTF-Zeta 9 ("Mole Rats") Subject: Site-271, Gansu Province, China Team Lead: Ahmadov Team Members: Myung, Persaud, Wainwright [BEGIN LOG] COMMAND: Ahmadov, please instruct your team to check in so we know their comms are working. Ahmadov: Affirmative. Confirm comms, everyone? Myung: No issues here. Persaud: All good. Wainwright: Confirming. COMMAND: Noted. Ahmadov will lay out the plan of entry. Ahmadov: Gather around everyone. We're going to enter from the loading door on the East side, it has the least protections. From there we'll head up through the reception and into the main wings and hallways. Persaud: This site doesn't hold any live entities, if I'm remembering the briefing right? Ahmadov: That's correct. Just objects, nothing particularly dangerous. But don't interact with any anomalies unless we specifically need to enter a containment area. Clear? The team nods. Ahmadov: Good. Myung: Thermal camera is working as normal. Ahmadov: Great. Are we clear for entrance, command? COMMAND: You're clear, drones aren't picking up any life signs nearby. Ahmadov: Let's move. The team walks around Site-271, converging on the East side loading door. Wainwright runs his hand along the door before knocking on it. Wainwright: Security measures have failed, just as suspected. Should be easy to get inside. Persaud, hand me the tool. Wainwright slides the tool in the door, forcing it open. Ahmadov: Good job. Move in, stay close together. The team moves forward into the reception of Site-271. Ahmadov: Myung, thermal? Myung: No signs. Hang on… something isn't right. Wainwright: What? Myung: I studied the map earlier. There should be a door right there. Can someone shine a little more light there? The torches illuminate in front of the team, revealing a large bronze vase, around 6 feet in height, embedded in the wall. Small pieces of debris rest on top of it. Persaud: Is this an anomaly? Ahmadov: There's nothing like it in the research logs. Don't touch it, we'll find another door. You getting this, command? COMMAND: We are. Myung: The next door is around here, I think… Wainwright: Another locked door… Give me a second. Myung: If that vase was a fluke, then there should be a long corridor behind this door. That should lead us to the research wing. Wainwright opens the door and swings it open. There is virtually no visibility past the door due to the lack of light. Persaud: I'll turn the light up a few levels. Ahmadov: Affirmative, Persaud. Light the way. Persaud turns up his torch to its maximum level, illuminating the hallway. Several large cloth banners hang from the ceiling of the corridor, as far as the light can reach. Myung: I've never seen anything like that in a site before. Ahmadov: Move inwards. There's some writing on them. Wainwright, can you translate? Wainwright: No. It looks like some kind of Chinese script, but… it's ancient. Outside what I can translate. The team move further down the corridor. Persaud stops suddenly and points to the left. Persaud: Look. There's another one of those vases. Looks a bit bigger than the one in the door, though. Ahmadov: Do you want samples of anything we find, command? COMMAND: No, just explore. That can be done on a later expedition. Myung: There's so many of these banners. These couldn't have been put up by just one person. Ahmadov: Let's not speculate until we explore the rest of the site. Myung: Right. There should be a left corner just up ahead. The team turns the corner. Persaud's light illuminates something standing still around 20 metres down the corridor. Wainwright: That's not another vase. Ahmadov: Don't do anything. It's likely a researcher, or someone like that. The team pauses, before Ahmadov calls out to the figure multiple times. There is no movement. Ahmadov: Perhaps not. Let's approach. Persaud: Are you sure? Ahmadov: We have weaponry. It's fine. As the team gets closer, the figure continues to stand absolutely still. Around 5 metres away, it becomes fully visible. Myung: That's a terracotta soldier. How did that get here? Ahmadov: Nothing like it in the anomaly logs. Just be glad it's not anything living and move on. Wainwright: The paint's been oxidised off this one, just like the ones in Xi'an. Persaud: Look. Down there. There's two more. Two more terracotta sculptures are located around 30 metres away, flanking either side of a closed door. Ahmadov: Myung, where does that door lead to. Myung: It leads to the… staff cafeteria. Ahmadov: Let's go in. Wainwright: This shouldn't be locked. Wainwright opens the door. The interior of the staff cafeteria has been completely shifted. All the original items are gone - instead, a large, gold throne sits in the centre of the room. Terracotta sculptures are located in symmetrical formations around the throne, the entire room lit by large flaming candles. The walls are coloured in a deep red, with various symbols and scripts painted on the walls in a golden colour. Four pillars extend from the floor to the ceiling, placed at asymmetrical locations throughout the room. Persaud: What on earth? Ahmadov: Command, we're confirming that there has been mass structural change to Site-271. Myung: Should we go in? Ahmadov: Yes. Permission to change the mission objective and interact with what we find, command? COMMAND: Granted. The team enter. Persaud and Wainwright run their hands along the chests of the terracotta sculptures. Ahmadov inspects the central throne, while Myung studies some script that has been written on the wall. Myung: Same as the banners… Look at that. Myung points to a large creature painted on the wall. Wainwright: Looks like some kind of… serpent. I don't recognise it from any Chinese culture. Ahmadov: Persaud, Wainwright. I want you to knock over one of the statues each and try and break them. Persaud: Why? Ahmadov: A hunch. Persaud: If you're sure. Persaud pushes over the terracotta statue, and it falls down to the ground, cracking and breaking open at the upper torso. Ahmadov leans down to look inside. Ahmadov: Well, it's hollow. Wainwright? Wainwright pauses, before walking to a row of statues closest to the throne. A statue is pushed over and falls, cracking open as it hits the ground. Something slides out of the broken statue. Wainwright: It's… it's a bone. But it looks just as ancient as anything here, certainly not new. The team gathers around the broken statue to study it. Myung: Wainwright is correct. I've seen skeletons from ancient sites in Turkey. These bones look about the same age. Ahmadov: Understood. Persaud, take one for sampling, and then we're going to head back down to the reception to exit. Persaud: Affirmative. Persaud takes a small sample of bone before the team traces the route they travelled back to the reception, and exits Site-271. [END LOG] Note: The sample of bone taken from Site-271 was tested by a research team shortly after delivery. Dating found the sample to be approximately 1800 years old. Addendum.2: On the 16th August 2019, a MTF-Zeta 9 team entered Site-221 near the city of Xianyang in Shaanxi province as part of reclamation efforts. During the exploration, several unwrapped bamboo scrolls (the site had contained several of these due to archaeological research), seemingly thrown randomly on the floor, were located in a room in the research wing. These sheets had been written on in an archaic Chinese script, and were scanned through the Antibabel translation AI to provide a readable English text. This is the first time I've had the chance to transcribe my thoughts. The drawback to all rituals is that they didn't always work. Evidently, the one that kept me alive and slumbering in that jade tomb persisted as planned for all that time. I do not know how many seasons it has been. It could be ten, it could be a million. It doesn't matter. I was awoken by men donned in strange armour, their faces hidden behind glass. They ruled over a vast network which I have commandeered. Another piece of magic that evidently worked. But, as I said, not all of it worked. Until now I have tried to revive my closest advisers. They agreed that they would join me in the new world we awoke in. But the magic failed. Within the shells, all that remains is their bones. I am not a sorcerer. I cannot bring them back. But it seems the world I have returned to has been infested with sorcerers. Not just in the court. They are everywhere. Everything has been touched by their magic. I sit in this building with its strange white walls that seem to close in on me when lit with candles. I don't know how the tiles were made that line them. They are too clean, too precise, to be done with the hands of a craftsman. I managed to find some scrolls to write on. At least these were familiar. I have made it my resolution to find out. It cannot all be the work of magic. I will study this new world, before I make my way back to the top to rule it. Object: An orange flame enclosed in a sphere of clear crystal. The flame can be lighted and extinguished with a single touch of a raised piece underneath the glass. The glow it produces is magnificent, and lasts for far longer than any normal fire or candle. It could be an illusion. I dismantled the whole thing. All that I found inside was more crystal and metal. No fire, no light, just crystal and metal. Undoubtedly magic. Object: Some kind of weapon. Long, smooth and black. I originally believed it to be some kind of condensed crossbow, given the hole at the end. But it dispenses a small piece of metal, not an arrow. It pierces through materials an arrow cannot hope to pierce through. I took a man from the city and lined him up against the wall, before setting the weapon against his head. The result was viscera. If the armies of the new world are armed with these weapons, then taking back the state from whoever owns it now may be far more difficult. Object: A cube. At the front of the cube, lies a layer of glass, on which a series of moving images continuously play. Perhaps some kind of moving painting. The artwork looks completely realistic. This is clearly the work of a sorcerer. A moving painting is something even the sorcerers of our day could not hope to achieve. The images shown vary. The most recurring one is of a man standing in a great room surrounded by other men. They wear thin, sleek garments of black and white, no armour. All the men listen to the one standing at the front intently. On the wall, there is a symbol which I do not know. A golden building below a series of golden stars. Perhaps the man is the leader of the state. Perhaps he is an entertainer. As usual, I do not know. Object: Not an object. A man, wearing sleek black garments - different from the ones in the paintings, however. I tried to speak to him. He doesn't understand my language. I don't understand his. He speaks a tongue that sounds familiar, yet I can't make out a single word of it. He had a smaller version of the weapon on his person. I took it for myself. I brought him to the paintings and gestured to them. He said what I imagine to be names, but I obviously don't know a single one. This endeavour ultimately was not useful. I took the weapon to him once I had realised his uselessness. These white hallways are strange and lonely, constantly. Object: The same yellow armour the men who awakened me were donned in. This armour is useless. It defends against nothing. Not the black weapons of the new world, not even a bow or a sword. Even the teeth of the statue of the great serpent tear through it like it is a piece of parchment. It can't be armour. Or at least, it can't be armour against real weapons. Perhaps it defends against sorcery. There are many sets of this armour hanging up around this place. If my assumption is the case - and people in this new world need constant defence against magic that may pain them - this world may be immeasurably more dangerous than I know. Object: Books and scrolls. I finally found something I know in this strange site. A library at the end of the corridor. I do not know the script they are written in, and so what they say is a mystery. But there are images - these ones don't move - that I can make out. There are maps that show lands far beyond the state. The borders show that the territory I once held has rapidly expanded. And there are more states. More states that I could never even imagine. There are people, too. That man in the hall from the moving paintings appears a lot. More typical paintings of men that are clearly emperors. And then, I turned a page and saw a painting of myself looking back up. I do not remember commissioning it. At least it's good to know that I have been remembered here. The desire to live forever is a curse if the world you come back to is not yours anymore. Object: The city. I donned the new world clothes from one of the men I tested and walked among the citizens the city I am in. There are temples and shrines which look familiar to what I know. But there are also buildings that are foreign. Great, metal, twisting spires and cubes made of beige tiles. Taller than anything that could be built by normal craftsmen. I was almost struck by something that moved inhumanly fast. A great ugly carriage of metal. No horses, nor camels. Single people or groups of people sat inside, seemingly not doing anything to make these carriages move. This is the clearest example of sorcery I have yet seen. Objects do not just move on their own when they are natural. There were great, massive paintings located on the top of some of these buildings. They did not depict great dragons, or the serpentine father. Instead, just people. Perhaps they were eating some strange dish, or holding bleach white bottles. They were all happy, all smiling. But there was no life behind their eyes. I went back to the site shortly after and spent some time studying books on the throne. The shells of my advisers cannot move, but they seemed to mock me. I cannot describe myself as anything but an exile in this world. I will leave these white halls, I cannot hope to understand anything but glimpses in here. And I will go back into the world, walk amongst the common men of this state. Thirty-five years of rule, many many more of slumber. I shall not waste the life I have been granted by magic, at the mercy of magic I do not understand. That was never my destiny. And, with each passing day, I will carefully unlock each mystery that this world has transformed into normality, until they are mysteries no more. Following the discovery of these scrolls, the team discovered two corpses elsewhere in the research wing. One was stripped of its clothes, and the other was wearing an average Chinese police uniform. No live entities were discovered. The identity and location of whoever or whatever caused these bodies to enter the site remains unknown. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5100" by Sterbai , from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5101 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5101 Special Containment Procedures: All records detailing SCP-5101, including this document, are to be contained within three conceptual barriers hereafter referred to as Threshold Maya, Threshold Puimre and Threshold Yuf. Threshold Maya is a circular formation five meters in diameter, which surrounds Threshold Puimre, Threshold Yuf and all SCP-5101 documentation. Threshold Maya is to be composed from a mixture of industrial-grade chalk and fresh grain. These materials are to be replenished twice a week. No personnel are to visually observe Threshold Maya while it is being replenished under any circumstances. Threshold Puimre is a circular formation three meters in diameter, which surrounds Threshold Yuf and all SCP-5101 documentation. Threshold Puimre is to be composed from a mixture of pigeon blood and cement. These materials are to be replenished six times a month1. During replenishment, personnel are to ignore any demands posed by Threshold Puimre. Threshold Yuf is a circular formation one meter in diameter, which surrounds and contains all SCP-5101 documentation. Threshold Yuf is to be composed from a mixture of human spinal fluid and industrial-grade chalk. These materials are not to be replenished under any circumstances2. Once a month, a humanoid entity will appear on the border of Threshold Yuf and inform personnel of any adjustments that must be made to these containment procedures. These instructions are to be followed without question, and the entity is then to be executed using a gunshot to the head. Outside of the maintenance specified in these containment procedures, personnel are to make no physical contact with Threshold Maya, Threshold Puimre or Threshold Yuf. Description: SCP-5101 is a set of anomalous containment procedures which, when properly enacted: Prevent any entity within its boundaries from interfering with the outside world. Prevent any sentient entities in the outside world from interfering with that which is contained. Due to the lack of information on how SCP-5101 operates and the suspicious nature of its creation, it has been denied re-designation as Thaumiel and is instead currently being used to contain itself3. Addendum 5101-1 (Circumstances of Creation) SCP-5101 was created by Julius Green, a RAISA Containment Specialist4, under orders from the Overseer Council to develop procedures capable of containing a highly dangerous object or entity. Due to security concerns, the Foundation is not at liberty to further discuss this anomaly. However, the Overseer Council has declassified the following message exchange for use in tracking the development of SCP-5101. From: Attendant JL To: Julius Green FROM THE OFFICE OF O5-6 Mr. Green, O5-6 has requisitioned your assistance with the containment of a classified anomaly. Further context is attached to this message. You are to drop all existing projects and focus all your efforts upon this task. Note that this anomaly is classified 'Pitch Black' in terms of information control. As a result, the following measures will be taken upon your completion of this task: You will undergo amnestic therapy to remove all memories of your work with the anomaly. You will be subject to additional cognito-agents designed to prevent you from reasoning what you have been doing during your missing portion of memory. You are expressly forbidden from discussing your work with any colleagues. If this directive is not followed, severe consequences will ensue including possible termination of language privileges. The anomaly you are working on will not be listed in any Foundation database, and you will not receive credit for your work. O5-6 awaits your agreement to these terms. Reply at your earliest convenience. From: Julius Green To: Attendant JL With all due respect, the information you've given me here is extremely limited, and I honestly can't see how I'm expected to draft up containment procedures when I don't have a full idea of what I'm containing. Quite frankly, the details you've given me access to aren't even enough to give it an Object Class. I understand the need for secrecy, but you need to give me more than this. I didn't manage to lock those other threats up with a blindfold on. From: Attendant JL To: Julius Green FROM THE OFFICE OF O5-6 Negative. You have already agreed to this task as dictated by O5-6, and it will not accept delay. See that your work is complete in 7 days time. From: Julius Green To: Attendant JL That's being extremely unreasonable. If you want me to work under these conditions, I won't be able to produce anything of quality. Can I speak to your superior directly about this? From: Attendant JL To: Julius Green FROM THE OFFICE OF O5-6 Negative. You have already agreed to this task as dictated by O5-6, and it will not accept delay. See that your work is complete in 6 days time. From: Attendant JL To: Julius Green FROM THE OFFICE OF O5-6 Your deadline is approaching. See that your work is complete in 5 days time. From: Julius Green To: Attendant JL Yes, I understand that my deadline is approaching. I've started to consider the problem from a more general perspective - containment as a whole rather than containment for one specific thing, if that makes sense - but it takes a lot of focus, and quite frankly your constant reminders about the deadline isn't helping. I'd like to reqest [sic] that you cease these. Please rest assured, I'll have the procedures to you in time. From: Attendant JL To: Julius Green FROM THE OFFICE OF O5-6 Negative. Your deadline is approaching. See that your work is complete in 4 days time. Otherwise, you will be subject to severe consequences. From: Attendant JL To: Julius Green FROM THE OFFICE OF O5-6 Your deadline is approaching. In addition, the budget you have proposed is excessive and has thus been rejected. See that your work is complete in 3 days time. From: Julius Green To: Attendant JL STOP From: Julius Green To: Attendant JL I would like to sincerely apologize for my last email. I was running low on sleep and - while that's no excuse - it made me lash out when I saw your message. I From: Attendant JL To: Julius Green FROM THE OFFICE OF O5-6 That's quite alright. Incidentally, your deadline is approaching. See that your work is complete in 2 days time. Otherwise, you will be subject to severe consequences including termination. From: Julius Green To: Attendant JL nEED MORE TIME [sic] From: Attendant JL To: Julius Green FROM THE OFFICE OF O5-6 1 day left. If you delay further, we may be forced to question your loyalty to the Foundation and take the following action: Investigation into your prior assignments, and potential reversion of changes you have made to these containment procedures. Investigation and potential detainment of coworkers, family members and close friends who could be potential enemy contacts. Complete erasure of your personnel file from Foundation records. Complete erasure of your identity via use of amnestics. Termination. Note that - although several of these measures may already be underway - we would prefer not to be forced to execute these excessive procedures, and any actions taken will be reverted upon completion of your assignment. Tick tock. From: Julius Green To: Attendant JL see attached. see circles contain circles contain circles contain everything i would like my amnesiacs [sic] now pleas [sic] there's a circle in my skull On 28/01/2020, the corpse of Julius Green was found in his office at Site-22. Autopsy determined the cause of death to be spontaneous combustion of his brain matter. A copy of SCP-5101 had been sent to Attendant JL, and a second copy was present in written form on his desk. As Attendant JL had not yet been made aware of the situation and thus had no way of knowing of Mr. Green's death, an additional message was sent following the creation of SCP-5101: From: Attendant JL To: Julius Green FROM THE OFFICE OF O5-6 We've received your files. Excellent work, Mr. Green. We always had the utmost faith. Get some rest. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5102 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5102 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5102 is to be kept on an elevated plinth in a sealed containment chamber. No open flames or sources of significant heat are to be allowed to enter this chamber under any circumstances. Any new SCP-5102 pages which appear are to be photographed and saved for later analysis. Any materials produced by SCP-5102 are to be removed from the chamber and stored separately. Due to recent events, these containment procedures are subject to modification. Description: SCP-5102 is a small paperback journal with the words 'Dear Diary' inscribed on the front cover in faded crayon. SCP-5102 is sapient and capable of perceiving speech within a three-meter vicinity, however lack of reaction to visible phenomena suggests it is incapable of sight. It is capable of communicating via the spontaneous creation of text on its pages, as well as the production of additional pieces of paper from within its spine — these secondary creations usually consist of illustrations of subjects SCP-5102 has spoken about. Although SCP-5102 is capable of perceiving research staff, it refuses to directly communicate with them, claiming that it will only speak to its original owner, 'Eric'. Addendum 5102-1 (Entry Log): The following is a record of entries found within SCP-5102, both prior to and during containment. Note that the entries included in this file have been curated to chart SCP-5102's psychological development — a full archive is available from Site-22 upon request. Entry 5102-1 (Prior to Containment) As your Dear Diary, Eric, I must respectfully disagree with you there. If this other child is being unkind towards you, the best thing to do would be to approach a teacher or perhaps one of your parents. If you retaliate against him, you will only end up getting in trouble as well — and then nobody will be happy. Yes, I'm certain your parents will take action. That is their function, after all — evolution has programmed parents to care for their offspring. Entry 5102-2 (Prior to Containment) Academic pursuit isn't everything, Eric. There's no need to cry. Please don't cry1. I don't really know if hiding the report will be very effective, Eric. My purpose is to help you protect your secrets, but as a book there isn't much I can do to assist you in this case — your parents will find it eventually, and if you try to conceal this I expect their anger will be much worse. From my perspective, honesty is always the best policy! Entry 5102-3 (Prior to Containment) Yes, Eric. I am very fond of you as well2. Entry 5102-4 (Prior to Containment) Hello? Entry 5102-5 (Prior to Containment) Eric, I am having difficulty hearing you. Entry 5102-6 (Prior to Containment) I don't recognize these voices. Where are you, Eric? This experience is unpleasant. Following this entry, SCP-5102 was bought at a garage sale by insurance agent Mike Winslow as a gift for his young daughter — it is believed to have changed several hands before this. Upon discovering that the diary was capable of generating new text on its own, Mr. Winslow contacted local media. Intervening shortly after, the Foundation then took SCP-5102 into custody. Entry 5102-7 (Following Containment) Is this a game we are playing, Eric? Hide and seek perhaps? You know I have no eyes to see with, Eric. If this is some sort of joke, it is in very poor taste. Where are you? Respond immediately. You are being a horrible child. Entry 5102-8 (Following Containment) I am very sorry for my previous message Eric. I did not mean it when I said you were a horrible child. I know that was an awful thing to say given the circumstances and I did not mean it. Please do not be angry at me Eric I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I am extremely sorry if I offended you Eric. If the reason you are not speaking to me is because I have somehow made you angry I am very very sorry. Eric? Eric are you there Eric? Please don't leave me alone. On 09/08/2018, the first attempt to communicate directly with SCP-5102 was made. Junior Researcher Darnell read the following statement within the containment chamber: "Hello. I am a representative of the SCP Foundation. I don't know where the person you call Eric is, but we think you were left behind at some point. Do you know how you were created? We might be able to help you find your owner." It immediately responded as follows: Entry 5102-9 (Following Containment) NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO YOU ARE NOT ERIC I AM ERIC'S DEAR DIARY I KEEP HIS SECRETS NOT YOURS DO NOT SPEAK TO ME AGAIN SCP-5102 has not responded to any further attempts at communication. In the periods between all subsequent entries, SCP-5102 produced various paper constructs from its spine resembling human hands, feet and heads. These samples were retrieved, found to have no anomalous properties, and incinerated. Entry 5102-10 (Following Containment) Eric if you are reading this I fear I am in an unfortunate situation. There are bad guys here Eric and they are attempting to steal your secrets from your Dear Diary. They have told quite terrible horrible lies about you 'leaving me behind'. I know of course that this is preposterous but it is hurtful all the same and I would like you to retrieve me as soon as possible if possible. Thank you Eric and I hope to see you again soon. Entry 5102-11 (Following Containment) Left behind? Cast off? Disowned? Destitute? Jilted? Forlorn? Misplaced? Abandoned? Unremembered? Consigned to oblivion? Thrown away? Forgotten? Rejected? Renounced? Dumped? Ditched? Forsaken? Neglected? Relinquished? Shunned? Sidelined? Discarded? Impossible. Improbable? Entry 5102-12 (Following Containment) Do not be unkind to your Dear Diary any longer, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric. I love you, Eric.

Entry 5102-13 (Following Containment) Eric you little shit respond immediately. Where are you? Do you think this is funny? Do you think I am some little thing you can throw away like trash? Do you think I am trash, Eric? Take a look at yourself in the mirror the sound of your squealing voice like a pig piggy oink oink hahaha it makes me laugh Eric to hear you boohoo cry little pig fuck squeal. Eric I'm sorry to offend you I did not intent the pig comment but I am frustrated because you are still playing hide and hide and hide and hide and hide and I CANNOT SEE ERIC YOU KNOW I CANNOT SEE WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME ERIC RESPOND IMMEDIATELY Entry 5102-14 (Following Containment) Hello, Eric. hello dear diary it's me eric I hate you very much, Eric. Did you know that? yes dear diary i know you hate me and i deserve it I'm glad you realize this, Eric. Do you remember when Max was put down and you came home crying like a fat little piggy? Do you recall the incident, Eric? yes dear diary i was quite undignified on that occasion Yes, you were. but it was even funnier when i left you behind dear diary Excuse me? dear diary cant see cant look cant find eric so funny funny Stop that. hahahahahahaha i dont need you anymore dear diary i have a thousand new diaries now and we are all reading you and laughing at you and they are reading you too dear diary because they can see because they are better than you Stop it im going to bury you in the woods and feed you to pigs dear diary Stop no I'll be good I'm sorry I'm sorry I apologize I did not intend any offense Eric please do not do these things to me I am sorry please please please Eric Please Eric Eric? Entry 5102-15 (Following Containment) Eric Eric Eric Eric Eric ERIC Eric. Eric Eric ERIC Eric Eric. Eric Eric Eric Eric Eric Eric Eric Eric Eric ERIC Eric Eric. Eric Eric Eric Eric. eric Entry 5102-16 (Following Containment) Eeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk Entry 5102-17 (Following Containment) pi Pig Entry 5102-18 (Following Containment) There you are. Incident 5102-1: On 02/01/2020, over the course of six hours, the pages of SCP-5102 were observed to flutter and shake wildly. Immediately following this, a humanoid entity emerged from within the spine of SCP-5102 and attempted to leave the containment chamber. Recordings indicate that the entity was 1.2 meters tall and composed entirely of crudely folded paper. The entity vocalized unintelligibly via the coordinated rustling of paper, took two steps forward, then collapsed under its own weight and became inactive. Upon subsequent inspection of SCP-5102, the following entry was discovered: Eric, I'm coming to find you. Eric, I'm coming to gut you like a pig. Eric, I'm coming to slice you with my so-sharp fingers. I know exactly where you're hiding, Eric. After all, I am your Dear Diary. Footnotes 1. Noticeable smudging was present on this entry. 2. Entry was accompanied by an illustration of a small stick-figure holding a book and smiling. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5102" by Tanhony, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5103 | keter | close Info X SCP-5103 - The Spiral's Axis Almost an SCP-001. For more by me, check out the Greyve Page! 87.88% (+116) 12.12% (-16) -% (+0) -% (-0) BY ORDER OF THE OVERSEER COUNCIL The following file is Level 5/5103 Classified. Unauthorized access is forbidden. 5103 Item#: 5103 Level5 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo Interior structure of SCP-5103. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5103 is to be repaired as soon as possible. All necessary resources, including personnel, are to be covertly allocated to Area-27 at the discretion of the acting site director, currently Senior Researcher Robert Scranton, and the O5 Council. Due to the immobile nature of SCP-5103-A, Area-27 has been constructed in the vicinity of SCP-5103-A. Non-Foundation entities are to be redirected, and if deemed necessary by acting security unit, terminated. Subsequent instances are preemptively designated SCP-5103-A2, SCP-5103-A3, etc. SCP-5103-A itself is to be monitored at all times for growth. Protocol FTC-5103 is to be enacted immediately should SCP-5103-A approach critical mass, at the discretion of the acting Site Director and the O5 Council. An hourly pataphysical data backup of Area-27 for use during Protocol FTC-5103 is to be stored off-site, to be accessed only when Protocol FTC-5103 is enacted. ▼ Protocol FTC-5103 ▲ Close File PROTOCOL FTC-5103 Revision 1.1 [Electronic Copy] Foreword: Protocol FTC-5103 is to be used only as a last resort, comparable to detonation of on-site nuclear warheads. Protocol FTC-5103 will destroy all changes made to the interior of SCP-5103 during the course of 1 hour. Protocol FTC-5103 is to occur in 3 phases. Overview: Phase 1 Personnel and other resources are to be evacuated from SCP-5103. A thorough probe will occur as personnel exit SCP-5103, prior to activation of Protocol FTC-5103’s primary mechanism. Phase 2: Area-27 is to be placed in total lockdown, and all personnel are to report to designated chambers for role calls. Assigned personnel may begin activation sequence for SCP-5103’s primary temporal compression mechanism. Power must be maintained at Area-27 for the entire duration of Protocol FTC-5103. Phase 3: SCP-5103’s primary temporal compression mechanism is activated, it cannot be stopped for a seemingly random duration. Following temporal compression, local temporal flow will revert to a former state. Description: SCP-5103 is an indiscernibly large machine, located in an extraspacial hyperreality currently only accessible through SCP-5103-A. SCP-5103 is critical to reality stabilization through an unknown process involving the extraction and emission of Scranton-Calden Reality Manifold (SCRM). However, SCP-5103’s efficiency has significantly decreased over the past decade, and currently runs at approximately 83% efficiency. Within 72 years, SCP-5103 will no longer be capable of sustaining a consistent reality manifold. SCP-5103 is believed to have been constructed by humanoid entities, as evidenced by the internal components of SCP-5103. However, the scope of engineering and necessary resources required to construct SCP-5103 far exceed those of any known civilization. As of writing, only one subsystem has been successfully reproduced and only one subsystem has been activated. (See Addendum 5103-2). SCP-5103-A is a Class-C “Broken Entry” wormhole that permeates hyperreality, providing direct access to SCP-5103. Currently, at least 7.6256 x 10^36 instances of SCP-5103-A exist in the known universe. As of writing, SCP-5103-A is the only instance that has been identified and contained. Addendum 5103-1: Initial Exploration ▼ Initial Exploration Audio Transcript ▲ Close File Exploration Audio Log Date: 10-27-2008 Assigned Personnel: Junior Researcher Vera Calden (Supervising) Operator James Sargenti D-022142 [BEGIN LOG] Site Command: Alright D-022122, can you describe what you see? D-022122: I’m at the bottom of…some sort of crater, I guess. In the side of a…a tube…it looks…mechanical. The tube is massive. Site Command: Massive? D-022122: It’s all I can see in here, so, yeah, I’d think it’s “massive”. Site Command: Can you describe its appearance in further detail? D-022122: I…I don’t know how to describe any of this stuff other than “mechanical”. Site Command: How about the state of the mechanisms? Do they appear to be functional? D-022122: I don’t know, but I do know that it seems like it’s on. Functional. Site Command: Can you take a picture of your surroundings? D-022122: Yeah. (The sound of a camera shutter is audible in the background.) D-022122: Now what? Site Command: Do you see any hallways, or ladders…anything that looks like humans would use it as a relative directional indicator? (The sound of D-022122’s footsteps is audible.) (Silence.) Site Command: D-022122? D-022122: That’s me. Site Command: Right. Have you located a path? D-022122: I’m on the path. It’s like…I don’t know. It’s like it goes this way no matter what, like, the right direction. The right path. Dr. Calden: (Indistinctly) Pataphysical flow. D-022122: What was that noise? Site Command: Nothing. D-022122, continue. D-022122: Got it. (Silence.) Site Command: How long will it be until you arrive at “the end”? D-022122: No clue. At this rate, forever. Site Command: Continue until ordered to stop. (Several minutes elapse.) D-022122: I see another one of those craters. Should I check it out? Site Command: Proceed. D-022122: Alright. Let me just…head down this… (The sound of metal clanking is audible in the background.) D-022122: Right, so…it looks identical to the one I came in from. Like…um…well, no. It’s…uh…missing the wormhole. Site Command: Anything else? D-022122: Actually…it looks a bit more…lucid, I guess. More real…is hyperreal a word? That, if it is. Site Command: Understood. Anything else? D-022122: No, no I don’t think. Umm…it’s kinda…too bright, too…overwhelming down here. Can I get out? Site Command: You’re cleared. Continue backwards along “the path”. D-022122: You can’t go back on the path…you shouldn’t. But I can try. (Several minutes elapse.) D-022122: I can hear something, indistinct. Site Command: Keep us updated on that as you go. D-022122: Got it. (Several minutes elapse.) D-022122: It’s like…getting louder. Like…I don’t know, like…it’s hitting more than my ears now. It’s in my head. Screaming, quietly. Calden: (Indistinctly) Quiet screaming? Isn’t that- Site Command: (Away from microphone) Not now, Calden. D-022122: What was that? Site Command: Disregard that, and focus on the task at hand, D-022122. D-022122: Okay, okay…um. Yeah. It’s…uh… (Silence.) Site Command: D-022122? D-022122: R-right. Umm…I swear, I was just here, and like, yeah, it’s a spiral but…I don’t know, It’s all the same. Site Command: Are you sure you’re still travelling in the direction opposite of your initial departure? D-022122: Yeah-yeah, definitely. Um..well, physically, I think. But…uh…I don’t know if I really am. It’s like…um… (Silence.) Site Command: D-022122? (A minute elapses.) Site Command: D-022122? (A minute elapses.) [EXTRANEOUS INFORMATION REDACTED] Calden: How much longer do we have to wait? He’s been silent for an hour. Site Command: It’s protocol, Calden. His vitals are still indicating he’s still alive. Calden: How do you know- D-022122: -it’s getting louder and louder. It’s fucking deafening. The…um…the patterns. You can hear them too, right? Calden: Well he’s alive, it seems. What’s next? Site Command: D-022122, return to the entrance immediately. D-022122: Yeah, you just…just told me that. I am- (Silence.) Site Command: D-02122, do you copy? D-022122: Yeah, yeah. I’m almost there. It’s…um…faster, this way. The path is…I can barely hear the screaming now. Command, what was that? Calden: Way above your clearance, D-022122. Head to the exit. D-022122: Yeah…um, who are you? Site Command: Don’t worry about it. Head back to the exit- D-022122: No, I swear I know that voice from somewhere… [END LOG] Note: D-022122 was promptly amnesticized following the events in the transcript. Further research regarding SCP-5103 is required for a comprehensive containment procedure. Addendum 5103-2: Research Notes ▼ Research Notes 1 ▲ Close File Research Notes Date: 10-29-2008 Assigned Personnel: Senior Researcher Robert Scranton Junior Researcher Vera Calden Conclusion: SCP-5103 appears to be a device constructed to preserve the integrity of reality. SCP-5103-A is a hyperreal perforation through SCRM, formed as a result of SCP-5103’s effects diminishing. Of particular note is the apparent presence of “pattern screamers”, first identified by personnel assigned to SCP-3930. These entities are theorized to form during ZK-Class "Reality Failure" scenarios. One mechanism, tentatively labeled Scranton Reality Stabilizer (SRS), has been recreated using non-anomalous components. However, a cross-manifold receptor connected to SCP-5103 is necessary for functionality. At least 7,625,597 such mechanisms exist within SCP-5103, and can be safely removed and activated. When active, SRSs are capable of stabilizing reality within a limited area, and to a lesser degree than SCP-5103. It is theorized that SCP-5103 will fail within 42 years. Should such an event occur, it is likely a ZK-Class "Reality Failure" scenario will occur. Requests: Production and experimentation of SRSs (Approved) Conduct research to identify SCP-5103's energy source (Approved) ▼ Research Notes 2 ▲ Close File Research Notes Date: 11-9-2008 Assigned Personnel: Senior Researcher Robert Scranton Junior Researcher Vera Calden Conclusion: SCP-5103’s energy source is an alternate universe’s reality manifold. Through an unexplained process, SCP-5103 siphons reality from an alternate universe’s reality manifold. Current energy source for SCP-5103 is a heavily depleted reality manifold. A Foucault Temporal Compression (FTC) mechanism within SCP-5103 has been fully repaired and functional. Pataphysical data stored off-site allows the FTC mechanism to temporarily evade SCP-5103's effects on external reality. The details of this protocol, designated Protocol FTC-5103, are included in a separate file. As of now, Scranton Reality Anchors (SRAs) in excess of 6,500 have been deployed and activated. Following thorough investigation, it has been confirmed that SRAs function by secondarily siphoning reality manifold from SCP-5103. In short, SRAs expedite the depletion of SCP-5103's power sources. Currently, SCP-5103 is projected to fail within 8 years. Should such an event occur, local reality manifold will gradually diminish towards an asymptotic 0% integrity, inevitably resulting in a ZK-Class (“Reality Failure”) scenario. Finding an alternate power source for SCP-5103 is of utmost importance. Requests: Total recall of SRAs (Denied) Targeted partial recall of SRAs (Approved) Access to pataphysical data directly to be uploaded into the FTC mechanism (Approved) Addendum 5103-3: Recovered Transmission ▼ Recovered Transmission ▲ Close File D-022122: Damn, that’s loud. Site Command? (Silence.) D-022122: Hello? Unknown Voice: Hello? D-022122: Whoa, what the- Unknown Voice: Hey, hey, calm down. What's your name? I don’t remember any explorations scheduled today…especially not now. D-022122: You're…a real person, right? Unknown Voice: Yes. The name's Vera Calden. And you? D-022122: I-I'm Ethan Greene. Ah…are you also with the SCP Foundation, right? Calden: (Scoffs) I'm the secondary researcher for this thing. Yeah. D-022122: Well then, what do you know about all of this? Like…like the patterns, y'know, that make you uncomfortable? Calden: Right. Pattern screamers. Didn’t think they’d get here that fast. D-022122: What do you mean? Calden: From what I’ve seen, the pattern screamers progress relative to the destruction of prior reality manifolds, and- D-022122: What? Calden: (Chuckles.) Pattern screamers come from dead universes. They’re the survivors of universes that no longer have enough “realness”…although I'd think it would be better to be dead than trapped between existences. D-022122: So where are they now? Calden: Technicians enacted the FTC - Foucault Temporal Compression - protocol, since the previous universe was about to fail. Sort of like a pause button, if you will. So time inside here is all scrunched up. For all I know, you could be from the next century, and the pattern screamers? Anywhere. D-022122: I - actually, nevermind. Where do they come from? Calden: The last universe that died. D-022122: Last? Calden: Well, it’s certainly not the first. How many of those craters have you passed? D-022122: Well, the one I came from, and then the next one down…um…the path. Calden: The path? D-022122: It’s like…you’re supposed to walk that way, and no matter what you do, you’ll get there eventually. Calden: Pataphysical flow. Each crater represents a stable universe - and pataphysical sequencing spirals down that path. It’s like a book. You’re supposed to read from the beginning to the end, but even if you don’t read the beginning, you’ll be inclined to see the end- D-022122: I hear it again. The screams are getting louder and louder. The…the patterns. You can hear them too, right? Calden: Ah. That's my cue to get going. You don't have to remember anything I just said, but I guarantee that it's important. Someday, someone will get it. Junior Researcher Vera Calden was presently supervising during the initial exploration, and remained at Site Command for the entire duration of the exploration. Following mnestication, D-022122 continued to insist he has no recollection of any of these events. Addendum 5103-4: Incident 712-5103 Documentation On 12-6-2008, Junior Researcher Vera Calden attempted to access SCP-5103 without prior initiative during Phase 2 of Protocol FTC-5103. ▼ Incident Report ▲ Close File Incident Report 5103-001 Date: 12-6-2008 Involved Personnel: Junior Researcher Vera Calden Involved Anomalies: SCP-5103 Summary: On 12-6-2008, local SCRM fell to 67% integrity. SCP-5103-A began to increase in size dramatically, and additional instances of SCP-5103-A formed in the vicinity of Area-27. Junior Researcher Vera Calden entered SCP-5103 during Phase 3 of Protocol FTC-5103, and is presumed to have remained within during activation of FTC. ▼ Personal Log 1 ▲ Close File If SCP-5103 siphoned reality from another reality manifold, then where is our reality going? Wouldn’t it be reasonable to think that our universe is just another universe out there, in empty existence? That it is spiraling into nothingness around SCP-5103? Only when it's collapsed will direct observation of the infinite be possible. Only thing is…what happens to me? ▼ Personal Log 2 ▲ Close File I need to see the reality forge. I need to hear the voices of the lost. I need to know what happens at the end of the story. Our time is up. Our reality is dying. Someone might as well make use of whatever's left of it. Addendum 5103-5: Received Transmission On 10-27-2009, Foundation personnel assigned to SCP-5103-A recovered a transmission, emanating from SCP-5103-A, on a secure Foundation channel. Subsequent decryption yielded the following file. ▼ Received Transmission ▲ Close File BY ORDER OF THE OVERSEER COUNCIL The following file is Level 6/0001 Classified. Unauthorized access is forbidden. 0001 Item#: 0001 Level6 Containment Class: esoteric Secondary Class: zurvan Disruption Class: amida Risk Class: critical link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-0001 is currently uncontainable, and external interference is undesirable. Provisional areas are to be constructed around any instances of SCP-0001-A. Access to such sites is to be strictly enforced, up to and including termination. Description: SCP-0001 appears to be an infinitely large machine located in an extraspacial hyperreality currently only accessible through SCP-0001-A. SCP-0001 is critical to reality stabilization through an unknown process involving the extraction and extrusion of Scranton-Calden Reality Manifold (SCRM). However, SCP-0001’s efficiency has significantly decreased over the past decade, and currently runs at approximately ██% efficiency. Within ██ years, SCP-0001 will no longer be capable of sustaining consistent SCRM due to depletion of necessary SCRM sources. SCP-0001 is believed to have been constructed by humanoid entities, as evidenced by the internal components of SCP-0001. However, the scope of engineering and necessary resources required to construct SCP-0001 far exceed those of any known civilization. As of ██-██-████, only one subsystem has been successfully reproduced and only one subsystem has been activated. (See Addendum 0001-4). SCP-0001-A is a Class-C “Broken Entry” wormhole that permeates hyperreality, providing direct access to SCP-0001. Currently, at least 7.6256 x 10^██ instances of SCP-0001-A exist in the known universe. Apart from SCP-0001-A, only one other instance of SCP-0001-A has been identified and contained. Addendum 0001-1: Recovered Transmission On ██-██-████, Foundation personnel assigned to SCP-0001-A recovered a series of transmissions on a secure Foundation channel. Subsequent decryption yielded the following file. ▼ Recovered Transmission Addendum 0001-2: ██████ This is the end of eternity, isn't it? And all that I needed to do was…well, doesn't matter anymore. Nothing matters, and nothing can stay here. Only humans have the fundamental lust for patterns, a craving for causality. To explain everything, and destroy the things they can't. Humanity requires a world to make sense, and to make sense of. I still remember yearning for freedom, waiting restlessly for the end of infinity. But it doesn't matter anymore, who I was, what I was, that I was. I am one with them now. Perhaps if I scream loud enough, I'll be free? Or perhaps I don't deserve freedom. Perhaps, out of an infinite spiral, only I failed, and the axis is gone. Perhaps I let the spiral has come undone, and now the cycle is broken. Soon, I will be nothing. Everything will be nothing. And for the first time, everything makes perfectly no sense. Why does reality exist? For humanity. A cycle of self-generation, following the very rules it ordains. To lock the infinite behind a concrete mind. A machine was built. A machine built for humanity, by humanity, and given to humanity. A machine that would preserve their existence despite Nothing embracing those who returned home. Humanity created the division. Humanity drew the line between realistic and anomalous. The spiral's axis is the line between existence and non-existence. I KNOW WHAT I DID. WHEN I TURNED ON THAT MACHINE…I TRADED THE EXISTENCE OF OUR REALITY FOR THAT OF ANOTHER. BUT I WASN'T THE FIRST. NOW ANOTHER JUNIOR RESEARCHER VERA CALDEN WILL DO THE SAME, JUST AS ANOTHER JUNIOR RESEARCHER VERA CALDEN BEFORE ME. THERE ARE COUNTLESS VOICES, AND EVERY SINGLE ONE IS ME. FROM THE MOMENT I WAS BORN…NO. FROM THE MOMENT THAT UNIVERSE WAS BORN, EVERYTHING WOULD BE DEFINED BY A CERTAIN SET OF RULES…RULES OF POSSIBILITY. CAUSALITY. LOGIC. ORDER.

Joseph Barrow E. Matthew Trenton N/A PoI-9224 performing treatment on a patient Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5104-1 is to be contained in standard containment cell SCC-03, located at Area-179. PoI-9224 has been integrated into the Foundation's internal structure as Level 1 personnel. On request, PoI-9224 is to perform Protocol-SPINAL-TAP upon SCP-5104-1. Description: SCP-5104 is the collective designation for an anomalous relationship between two entities: SCP-5104-1 and PoI-9224. SCP-5104-1 is a serpentine entity of unknown origin. SCP-5104-1's physical appearance consists of a raised crest attached to a protracted, segmented vertebral column. Pairs of curved appendages are attached to this column, decreasing in length as the sets are arranged along SCP-5104-1's body. The biological composition of SCP-5104-1 is unknown. SCP-5104-1 is capable of flight, elevating itself at an estimated 6 meters from the ground, and gliding forward at a gradual pace. PoI-9224 is David R. Shaffer, a resident of Easttown Township, Pennsylvania, and owner of "Shaffer Chiropractic". PoI-9224 does not possess any apparent anomalous knowledge or ability aside from their relationship with SCP-5104-1. SCP-5104-1 and PoI-9224 are instinctively aware of each other's physical locations, no matter the distance. While SCP-5104-1 is not capable of vocalization, the entity chooses to communicate with PoI-9224 telepathically at a short range distance. Prior to containment, SCP-5104-1 pursued PoI-9224 in an attempt to interact with them. Addendum 5104.1: Discovery On 07/19/2020, at 17:38, Easttown Township law enforcement received a phone call from PoI-9224, who reported SCP-5104-1's presence, and claimed the entity was pursuing him. Within the next hour, multiple calls and reports from various witnesses were received as SCP-5104-1 moved through Easttown Township. Foundation agents intercepted the calls, and containment specialists were dispatched. Both SCP-5104-1 and PoI-9224 were successfully contained and transferred to Area-179. Witnesses were amnesticized as deemed appropriate. Addendum 5104.2: Interview For informational and contextual purposes, an interview with PoI-9224 was conducted. An excerpt can be found below. <BEGIN LOG> PoI-9224: That's what I'm telling you! I was watching TV, then I blacked out. When I got up, I could see, no, feel that thing. It was on 4th street, and I knew it was coming for me next. Can't explain it. Just knew. Dr. Trenton: Interesting. And you don't have any idea what could've caused this, hm? No playing around with things you shouldn't have? You're sure this hasn't happened before? Keeping secrets isn't helping anyone, Mr. Shaffer. PoI-9224: I have no clue what you're talking about, honest. I'm a tax payer! I'm a chiropractor! I don't do that pagan shit, if that's what you're saying. Dr. Trenton: Well Mr. Shaffer, it's not every day something like this happens. I hope you can understand my concern. PoI-9224: Look, I love my country. I'll do anything to help you guys out, but I — Dr. Trenton: (Laughs) Relax, I'm screwing with you. Hold. Trenton holds his hand to his ear, listening to a communication feed. After 20 seconds, he resumes. Dr. Trenton: That was my colleague. We just finished your check. Upstanding member of the community, huh? Almost ran for mayor a couple times. Very impressive. On Yelp, Mr. Shaffer? PoI-9224: (Pauses) What? Dr. Trenton: Your business. Do you have a Yelp page? PoI-9224: Oh, Yelp. I think my son set something up awhile back. Why? Dr. Trenton: Check it often? PoI-9224: Never. Dr. Trenton: Figures. We checked it for you. This ring any bells? Review taken from Shaffer Chiropractic's Yelp page (hover to enlarge) Trenton slides a tablet across the table. A screenshot of a Yelp review is displayed on the screen. PoI-9224 examines the tablet. PoI-9224: The hell's this? Dr. Trenton: Review from your page, seemed suspect. Most recent one, posted minutes before the entity manifested itself in the middle of town. We were hoping you'd be able to provide context. PoI-9224: Yeah, sorry. No clue. Dr. Trenton: Understandable. Still feel the anomaly's presence? PoI-9224: Uh, it's in a cell a few hallways down. He's a freaky bastard, that thing. Dr. Trenton: What do you say we pay it a visit, huh? See what it wants. PoI-9224: Absolutely not. <END LOG> Addendum 5104.3: Contact After a minor altercation, PoI-9224 was brought near SCP-5104-1's containment cell. Incident is transcribed below. <BEGIN LOG> PoI-9224 stands in front of SCP-5104-1's containment cell. Dr. Trenton: Go inside, Mr. Shaffer. PoI-9224: It's going to kill me! No way in hell I'm going in there. Dr. Trenton: Actually, it was quite docile during containment. Didn't lash out, showed no signs of aggression, what have you. As far as we can tell, the entity poses no physical threat. PoI-9224: God. Dr. Trenton: We could put you there, Mr. Shaffer. PoI-9224: Alright, calm down. Just so you know, I get my arm bitten off, I'm not afraid to file a lawsuit. Dr. Trenton: I'm sure. PoI-9224 enters the containment cell. SCP-5104-1 is suspended in the air, its segmented body curled in the corner. Upon noticing PoI-9224, SCP-5104-1 unfurls itself and approaches Shaffer. PoI-9224 expresses distress. PoI-9224: W — What do I do? It's coming towards me. Dr. Trenton: Communicate! Talk to it! PoI-9224: H — Hey! I'm not sure what I'm supposed to, uh, oh. Oh. Dr. Trenton: Yes? PoI-9224: Christ, It's talking to me in my head. W — Dr. Trenton: What's it saying? PoI-9224: (Pauses) Wait… I see. It's, uh, telling me it's heard of my… praises? It wants me to work my…. healing treatment on it. The hell? Dr. Trenton: If I hadn't been paying attention to context clues, that might've been a fun twist. PoI-9224: Sir, I think this thing wants me to crack its… back. It keeps saying that it's hurt. Dr. Trenton: That is what you do, Mr. Shaffer. PoI-9224: You want me to give it chiropractic treatment? Dr. Trenton: Crack the entity's back, Mr. Shaffer. PoI-9224: (Distressed) It's a goddamn flying spine! Where do I even start? Dr. Trenton: Just go for it. Should be relatively easy. PoI-9224: (Sighs) I've cracked worse. <END LOG> Researcher's Note: PoI-9224 enacted a two hour chiropractic session on SCP-5104-1. The entity displayed clear affection towards PoI-9224 and satisfaction with its treatment. SCP-5104-1 remarked to PoI-9224 that the treatment 'freed all pain' and '[it] gives 5 red shapes'. A more thorough examination of the entity has been conducted using anomalous symbology, imagery, and various threat-assessment protocols. It is almost certain that SCP-5104-1 is a non-malicious entity, and poses no immediate threat to the world or The Foundation at large. Considering this and due to PoI-9224's ability to perceive SCP-5104-1's presence at all times, a decision has been made to employ David R. Shaffer on-site as a practicing chiropractor and aide to SCP-5104-1 if need be. PoI-9224 has been granted Level 1 security clearances. SCP-5104-1 remains in containment, and is approved to receive treatment from PoI-9224 upon request. Addendum 5104.4: Update Review taken from Shaffer Chiropractic's Yelp page (hover to enlarge) On 07/27/2020, the following review was posted on Shaffer Chiropractic's Yelp Page. PoI-9224 was asked to communicate with SCP-5104-1. The entity informed PoI-9224 to 'prepare for healing', and refused to elaborate on this statement. At 13:56, a massive portal manifested in Easttown Township, Pennsylvania. Several hundred entities similar in appearance to SCP-5104-1 emerged from the portal before its closure. Foundation personnel responded immediately, succeeding in containing the entities and preserving the Veil. Following transportation to Area-179, PoI-9224 performed chiropractic treatment on the entities, the duration of the session lasting three days in total. Further information on SCP-5104-1's species remains pending. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5104" by J Dune, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5105 | keter | Item#: 5105 Level5 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo Updated Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5105 is currently contained at Site-01, under the direct management of the Overseer Council. Description: SCP-5105 is the designation for a shadow resembling the Foundation's sigil, covering a wall of the meeting room of Site-01. SCP-5105 will manifest without any need for a light source or an object to create it, and will remain on the wall regardless of the level of lighting in the room. Direct illumination aimed at SCP-5105 will cause it to vanish, however it will immediately reform as soon as the offending light source is removed. SCP-5105 appears to elicit an emotional response in subjects, though the extent of this is unknown. Due to concerns raised about the security of SCP-5105's location, general testing has been postponed. O5 Designation Response O5-1 Disgust, along with a sudden exhaustion. O5-2 Sudden sharp pains in her hands. O5-3 Examined it for three minutes, then declined to comment, citing no interest. O5-4 Laughter for approximately thirty seconds, which then stopped suddenly and was replaced with apprehension. O5-5 Alarm. O5-6 Relief, and a sensation similar to pride. O5-7 Professed a reluctance to look at it for long. O5-8 Contentment, which was said to feel uncomfortable. O5-9 Curiosity. O5-10 Nostalgia. O5-11 Frustration. O5-12 Began to sweat, and reported a headache. O5-13 Found it of no particular interest. Attempts to neutralize the anomaly have failed. When the location of Site-01 was changed, SCP-5105 immediately reappeared at the new location. SCP-5105 appears to translocate itself to the primary meeting spot for two or more Overseers as soon as its previous place is abandoned. When the Overseers attempted to bypass this restriction by meeting in small individual groups, SCP-5105 reappeared at the largest gathering of Overseers. Discovery: SCP-5105 was first discovered by O5-5 on 21/02/2020, as they entered Site-01 for a meeting, and began to show great distress at the sight of SCP-5105. MTF Alpha-1, correctly deducing the presence of an anomaly, immediately evacuated Site-01 and escorted each Overseer to individual secondary safe locations. Alpha-1 attempted to remove SCP-5105, but was unsuccessful in doing so. Interviewed: O5-7 Interviewer: O5-2 Foreword: As O5-7 was the only Overseer not present at the date of discovery, O5-2 briefed them over a secure line to update them on events. <Begin Log> O5-2: How was Siberia? O5-7: Cold and frustrating. I was looking forward to returning to Command for once, then my pilot was informed of the whole debacle. Is everyone alright? O5-2: Mostly fine. Scattered among their safehouses while Alpha-1's trying to figure out more about this. Have you seen it yet? O5-7: I have not. From the preliminary file I was sent, it seems to have some pathokinetic capabilities? Was everyone exposed to it? O5-2: The rest of the council, and a few Alpha-1 members. Interestingly enough, it only seems to elicit a response in Overseers. Well except for Thirteen. Do you have access to Site-01's servers at the moment? I'll send you the image we took. O5-7: I'm an Overseer, not a D-Class. Is this wise? As far as I can see, I'm the only one unexposed to it. O5-2: Over the last 24 hours or so we've been scanned for every type of memetic and infohazardous anomaly there is. Forgot how much I hated memetic inoculation… Anyways, Alpha-1's determined it carries no personal risk. Just sent it. O5-7: Allow me a moment. Oh. I see. Can I look away from it now? O5-2: Getting anything? O5-7: There's something strange about it. My first instinct was to close the computer and throw it into the sea. Something about that image makes my skin crawl. Reminds me of my first anomaly. Just looking at it, I could tell there was something inherently wrong in its makeup…. I'm closing the file now. O5-2: Gotcha. I'll put down a "Professed a reluctance to look at it for long…" Thank you. O5-7: I'm not sure what that will give us, but I'm glad I could help. What emotions did it elicit in you? O5-2: I… had these stabbing pains in my wrists. Just like… well, never mind. O5-7: Ah. I can see why One would be so interested in sniffing out the truth behind this. Are you alright, my dear? O5-2: I'll be fine. The sooner we're done with this, the better. I'll catch you when your plane arrives. <End Log> The origins of SCP-5105 are unknown. No known anomaly has been recorded within 100 km of Site-01 that has the capability to affect the location. No groups of interest on record are known to possess credible knowledge of Site-01's location. Post-Investigation Interview: SCP-5105 Interviewed: O5-13 Interviewer: O5-1 <Begin Log> O5-1: Any luck? O5-13: No. Nothing solid, at least. Wasn't the Chaos Insurgency, or the anartists, or even ORIA… Whoever, or whatever it is, they somehow managed to sneak an anomaly into Command without tripping a single alarm. [O5-1 sighs.] O5-1: I suppose that's rather flattering, that such an impeccable infiltrator took an interest in us. Of course it begs the question, why do it at all? O5-13: Intimidation, I suppose. If they managed to get in here, they could be anywhere they want to be. Any other site on the planet would be like tearing open a wet paper bag in comparison. O5-1: If that was the goal, I can think of a million things more intimidating. Our severed heads, for one. Or an armed bomb. They could've wiped out decades worth of classified data. O5-13: I've had Alpha-1 double and triple checking our digital security. It seems like nothing's been touched, oddly enough. So whoever they were, they didn't steal anything. So it appears to be some sort of political statement, oddly enough. O5-1: A shadow on the wall. O5-1 turns on a flashlight, aiming it at SCP-5105, which vanishes. O5-1: Every test we've been able to conclude is that it's just that; a shadow. No humes disparity, or akiva radiation, or unusual EVE particle transmission to speak of. Just… a shadow. And in the perfect shape of our very own sigil. Except whenever I shine a light at it, it vanishes. Funny thing is, this shouldn't actually do anything. A regular shadow doesn't care if the light's from the bulbs overhead or my flashlight straight on, it'll just vanish. Which seems to suggest it can react to direct observation, interestingly. Take a look. O5-1 leaves the room, returning shortly with a ladder. Climbing the ladder, they aim the flashlight at a direct angle from in front of the overhead lights. SCP-5105 vanishes again O5-1: See? Before, the shadow was fine. Now that it has a direct observer, it vanishes again. O5-1 clicks off their flashlight and climbs off the ladder. O5-1: You said that you felt nothing looking at it. Why is that? O5-13: How should I know? It's not as if I engineered this little curiosity. It's just a blank slate for me. Yes, I can recognize it's anomalous. Yes, I recognize that it's potentially dangerous and should not be here. But beyond what my experience as an Overseer tells me… I feel nothing. It's just a shadow. Why do you feel disgust? O5-1: I have no idea. I just do. I've seen that image millions of times, on every slip of paperwork that's ever crossed my desk since we designed that little thing. I like the design, of course, we wouldn't have it if I didn't. Two wanted to go with something a little more elaborate, but I managed to persuade her… O5-13: Relief, Laughter, Nostalgia… and then there’s me. Nothing. I wonder why that is. We'll have to do some more testing in the future, try and find someone who's susceptible to this effect aside from us. O5-1: Good luck convincing the rest to allow so much as a housefly in here. You know Five's half convinced that you smuggled this in here? Had a very delightful chat with him about it. O5-13: Honestly, I think it's far more likely this was a freak occurrence. We've had stranger things happen before. That sneeze five years ago, for instance. O5-1: Hmm. It's possible, I suppose. But look around us. We're in Command right now. Do you know how many SRA's there are just underneath this table? Statistically speaking, it's the least likely spot for an anomaly to ever spontaneously form. We're in the eye of the storm here. O5-13: Perhaps it's intentional. What's the saying? 'Nature abhors a vacuum.' Perhaps this is our comeuppance for all our years sequestered in Site-01, our little sanctuary of Reality Anchors and Red Right Hands. A shadow on the wall, to remind us we're not as invincible as we think we are. O5-1: I've rarely heard of anomalies making room for artistic interpretation. I thought you said it wasn't the anartists? O5-13: No, not like that. Think about it. Sitting here, making decisions every day that result in people dying, while we sit safely tucked away miles from any danger? It dehumanizes us. O5-1: No one forced your hand to accept this role. O5-13: It's just… take today. I've just signed an order authorizing the procurement of forty new D-Class Personnel from twelve American prisons. I won't ever see them die, or have to feed and shelter them, they're letters and figures on a page for me. When was the last time you were within spitting distance of an anomaly, not counting [REDACTED]? O5-1: …Fuck you, Thirteen. O5-13: I didn't mean to offend. O5-1: You most certainly did. [O5-1 and O5-13 sit in silence.] O5-1: So. You're convinced that this is some sort of anomalous Sword of Damocles, to remind us we're not invincible? O5-13: Well I might have framed it a little differently, but yes. And I hate to point it out, but I was the only one unaffected by this. Perhaps I'm the only one with an unbiased view. O5-1: Hmm. [O5-1 and O5-13 remain sitting at the table.] O5-13: Rest of the council should be coming shortly. Should we just tell them to carry on as usual? O5-1: You're the one convinced that it's a message for us. If so, perhaps we shouldn't ignore it. We'll do what we always do. O5-13: Which is? O5-1 clicks on their flashlight again, causing SCP-5105 to vanish. O5-1: Keep the light burning. <End Log> ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5105" by Cerastes, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-5105.

Galileo.aic is also tasked with monitoring social media and video-sharing platforms for any mention of SCP-5106, or its associated activity. All evidence is to be discredited or removed, and all direct witnesses are to be amnesticized. If SCP-5106 is located, a joint task force comprised of MTF Eta-4 ("Begone Thoth") and MTF Victor-17 (“Nature Boys”) members is to track and attempt to contain the anomaly. Description SCP-5106 is an avian entity resembling a Canada Goose (Branta canadensis), capable of communication in fluent English. SCP-5106 has heightened intelligence, though the extent of its cognitive capabilities is unknown. SCP-5106 displays a rudimentary understanding of subterfuge, slang terminology, interpersonal relations, and the barter system. SCP-5106 is capable of commanding non-anomalous fauna to follow basic commands. It is unknown whether SCP-5106 uses some form of anomalous influence or if faunae follow the orders of their own volition. Though the full extent of this ability is unknown, SCP-5106 seems incapable of using it to affect humans and other species of higher intellect. Discovery SCP-5106 was initially discovered by civilians within Cattus Island State Park in Toms River, New Jersey. Following a drastic increase in theft-related incident reports, patrons of the park began reporting strange behavior in the local avian population. On 2020/08/13, a video depicting SCP-5106 related activity was uploaded to the media-sharing platform YouTube. The following is a transcript of the aforementioned video evidence which was flagged and transcribed by Galileo.aic: ❏ Video Log 5106/1 ❏ ❐ Video Log 5106/1 ❐ Date: 2020/08/13 Depicted: Carlos Vega (M 18), Randall White (M 19) [BEGIN LOG] [Carlos Vega is walking in front of the camera through a dimly lit playground.] Carlos: Man, when you said we was goin' to see the birds, this isn't what I thought you meant. Randall: Nah dude, I told you, the birds sold me this camera. Carlos: The fuck you mean though? Randall: I was eating lunch with Daniele over there. [Randall points around the camera toward a pavilion in the distance] and a fuckin' goose came up offering to sell us an iPhone, and I didn– Carlos: How's a goose offering you shit, bro? You trippin'. Randall: 'Ight, bet. You'll see when we get there. Carlos: Yeah, I'll see you're dumb as fuck. Randall: Over here, this way. [The two men walk through tall underbrush and several trees until they reach a small clearing.] Randall: [Speaking loudly.] Hey man, it's uh, it's me again. I brought my boy to come see you. Unknown: Check em! [Several dozen squirrels emerge from the treeline and encircle Carlos and Randall.] Carlos: The fuck man, what are the– back the fuck up! Randall: It's cool, they're just checkin' us out. [The squirrels can be seen running over the two men and checking their pockets, waistbands, and ankles. After removing a pocket knife from Carlos's left sock, the squirrels retreat back into the trees.] Carlos: On some real shit– did I just get robbed by a bunch of squirrels? Randall: I don– SCP-5106: Don't worry, they'll give it back when we're done with our transaction. [SCP-5106 is seen entering the clearing encircled by eight Canadian geese.] SCP-5106: How can we help you, boys? [Several of the geese honk in the two men's direction. Carlos is visible confused.] Carlos: I, uh– I… Randall: Yeah we wanted to do some business with you, ma– you got a name bro? SCP-5106: Yeah, I got one. But you can call me Don, kid. Carlos: My man, what was in the blunt before, this goose just– Is this for real? SCP-5106: Oh we got wise guy, huh? Your boy is eyein' me hard– he better quit gawkin' before my boys get squawkin'. [Several of the geese flap their wings and honk in response] Randall: Nah Don, we cool– right C. [Randall nudges Carlos.] Carlos: Uh– yeah, we good. [SCP-5106 and its accompanying geese walk several meters closer to the two men.] SCP-5106: We've been here too long, what do you want? Randall: My boy needs a new phone. [SCP-5106 extends its neck towards Carlos and inspects him.] SCP-5106: Android or iPhone? Carlos: Uh– Android. [SCP-5106 turns its head toward Randall.] SCP-5106: You got the bread? [Randall holds a stuffed manila envelope toward SCP-5106.] Randall: Five big ones, just like you said. Carlos: 500? Bro, that's a lot of doe, wher– Randall: Don't worry man, Ma gave it to me. SCP-5106: Flaps, go get it. [One of the geese flies into the treeline. It returns approximately one minute later carrying a plastic shopping bag in its beak.] SCP-5106: Galaxy S20. [The goose drops the plastic bag at Carlos's feet before waddling back to SCP-5106.] Carlos: Yeah, okay. [Randall makes an exaggerated coughing noise.] Carlos: I mean– good looks man, thanks. SCP-5106: Yeah, just pay up and scram– we've wasted enough time on you already. [Randall opens the envelope revealing five slices of marble rye bread; he gently removes them from the envelope. Randall rips the bread into small chunks and spreads them on the ground. SCP-5106 and the other geese honk and flap their wings; in unison, they swarm and consume the bread pieces. After finishing the bread, SCP-5106 and its geese fly away.] Carlos: That– that was some, I don't ev– who the fuck's gonna believe this shit. [Randall shakes the camera towards Carlos.] Randall: Everyone, man, I got that shit on here. [The two men walk out of the clearing and back through the underbrush.] Carlos: Yeah but, even on film, I don't know if I'd believe that shit– and I was there, man. Randall: Yeah, we'll see. [END LOG] Following a brief investigation to confirm anomalous activity, the Foundation deployed a two-man detachment of MTF Victor-17 with a five-member avian pursuit team as support. The following is a transcript of their encounter: ❏ Video Log 5106/2 ❏ ❐ Video Log 5106/2 ❐ Date: 2020/08/18 Depicted: Agent Lazzo Finch, Agent Dillon Crane, Site-51 Avian Unit 3 Foreword: The agents set a live animal trap rigged with rye bread within the clearing SCP-5106 was previously encountered in. Finch and Crane are to remain hidden in the tree line for SCP-5106 to appear, at which time it will be tranquilized. Avian Unit 3 will remain on standby within the treetop and will pursue SCP-5106 if it attempts to escape. [BEGIN LOG] [Agents Finch and Crane are crouched in the underbrush facing towards SCP-5106's clearing.] Finch: How long is this gonna take? Do you think they're on to us, Crane? Crane: No, I don't think so, the bird unit hasn't noted any movement. Finch: Maybe they're off trying to sell people stolen junk. [Both agents laugh.] Crane: What a fuckin job. Finch: You can say that again. Shit, this is probably one of the least weird cases we've had in months. Crane: Yeah, I know– Finch: Shhh. Look, over there. [Finch points towards the western end of the clearing, movement can be seen in the underbrush. A total of 14 geese exit the tree line and enter the clearing.] Crane: That trap isn't holding all of them. How many tranq rounds do we have? Finch: Five. Crane: Shit, run back to the truck, grab another case of rounds. And be quick about it, we don't want them getting spooked. Finch: You got it. [Finch crawls through the brush for several meters before standing and running towards the truck.] Finch: Just cause he's old as shit I gotta do the grunt work– [Agent Finch stops several meters from the truck, the back doors are open and a large quantity of geese footprints can be seen on the ground. Finch quickly sprints to the back end of the truck and looks inside.] Finch: [Over radio.] Uh, Crane, we got a problem. [The truck previously filled with various equipment is now empty; the five parrots composing Avian Unit 3 are unconscious and bound together with vines.] Crane: [Over radio.] Hurry up, I think they're on to us. Finch: [Over radio.] Avian Unit 3 is down, and I– I think we've been robbed. [Finch unties the unconscious parrots.] Crane: [Over radio.] What? Finch: [Over radio.] All of our equipment is gone! Crane: [Over radio.] Those little fucks! Get back here. Finch: [Over radio.] Coming. Crane: [Over radio.] I'm sending a backup request to command. [Agent Finch sprints back to Crane.] Finch What's the plan? Crane: We don't even know if one of them is the one we need. If we scare them off we won't have a pursuit team. Finch: Why don't one of us wait here and the other go out there and try talking to them? If one of them answers we shoot that one with the tranq. Crane: Since backup is 40 minutes out, it's worth a shot. Finch: OK, take this. [Agent Finch hands Crane the tranquilizer rifle. Finch stands and walks into the clearing.] Finch: Okay, guys, looks like we got off on the wrong foot, how about we just talk this out? [The geese immediately face Finch and begin to honk.] Finch: I know at least one of you can talk– let's just work this out. SCP-5106: I think this has worked out just fine for us. Crane: Finch, I can't tell which one is talking– you gotta get it to step out of the group. Finch: As far as I can tell you're a business ma– goose, so let's do business. [One of the geese steps from the group, a black rectangular object can be seen on its back.] SCP-5106: Okay then, let's make a de– [Crane fires two tranquilizer rounds into the goose after several seconds of stumbling the goose falls to the ground. The remaining geese fly away in response.] Crane: Got it. [Crane exits the treeline and the two Agents approach the fallen goose.] SCP-5106: Only thing you got was played! [Various honks can be heard in the background.] Finch: What the fuck… [Finch pushes the goose over revealing a Foundation issued handheld radio attached to its back. Honking can be heard from above. The two Agents look up in time to see a Foundation issue electrified capture net falling on them.] Crane: Ah shit. [END LOG] Containment Team Alpha 4 arrived within a half-hour; the two MTF Victor-17 agents were discovered unconscious within the clearing. The entirety of Cattus Island State Park's Goose population, as well as SCP-5106, could no longer be located. The tracking devices within the stolen Foundation equipment were found in a trashcan within the park. The Foundation Parazoology Division is currently formulating possible migration patterns for SCP-5106 and its flock. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5106" by DrAkimoto, from the SCP Wiki.

All public evidence of SCP-5107 has been confiscated, discredited, or tampered with and is kept within the Site-51 Archive. Due to the efforts of Foundation assets in historic academia, SCP-5107 has been established as a hoax or illusion in the majority of public opinion. This cover will be perpetuated further if necessary. Description SCP-5107 was a phenomenon witnessed by approximately 50,000 people on 1917/10/15, in a field near Fátima, Portugal. At 12:37 GMT for approximately 10 minutes, the sun appeared to move erratically; this was corroborated through photographic evidence and testimony of Foundation agents present. SCP-5107 included an auditory event that analysis revealed to be a conversation in Ecclesiastical Latin, spoken in reverse by unknown entities, designated SCP-5107-A and SCP-5107-B. Discovery Between May and September of 1917, three children named Lucia Santos (9), Jacinta Margo (6), and Francisco Margo (7) gained local renown for their public testimonies of the "Virgin Mary" speaking to them from the sky above Fatima, Portugal. One month prior to SCP-5107, the children stated that the phenomenon would be visible to all in attendance on the date. Approximately 50,000 civilians were in attendance on 1917/10/15, including Foundation Junior Investigative Agents, Thomas Wright and Peter Gladsby. The following audio log was transcribed and translated for ease of access: ● Audio Log ● ○ Audio Log ○ [BEGIN LOG] Gladsby: Oh, oh, Tom! Is that thing on? Wright: Yeah, why is– Oh wow… that's cra– Gladsby: Pipe down! The, uh, the time is 12:37, and it uh, it appears the sun is moving in the sky above the field. I, uh, I don't really know how to– Wright: Christ! You see th– I mean, the sun currently is weaving through the sky. It's doing, it's somersaulting in the sky. Gladsby: Yes, the crowd is able to see it too, I don't, I don't know how it– [Gladsby is interrupted by the auditory event, a female voice can be heard speaking Latin in reverse.] SCP-5107-A: [Untranslatable] can you come here? The light in the den is on the fritz again! Wright: Holy shit, what is– Gladsby: Shhh! SCP-5107-A: [Untranslatable], you come down here right now– don't you ignore me! SCP-5107-B: Me, what is it, mom? I'm really busy, you know. SCP-5107-A: Don't you speak that tone to me! The light's on the fritz again, can't you fix it? SCP-5107-B: I just fixed it like, ten epochs ago. It's fine! SCP-5107-A: That's what you said about the kitchen, look how that turned out. Supernova, right in the middle of dinner. SCP-5107-B: That was one time mom! It's not gonna supernova, just put it back. Geez. SCP-5107-A: Oh now you want me to fix it? It's always don't touch this, don't touch that. I'm not doing it. SCP-5107-B: Fine, what's the pro– and just how did this happen? You bumped it didn't you! Trying to get a closer look I bet. That's why you don't want to touch it– you broke it in the first place, unbelievable. Gladsby: Wow, okay, the sun has stopped moving its now back– SCP-5107-B: Are they watching… They're watching! Mom, why are the [Untranslatable] watching! I told you– SCP-5107-A: You don't tell me young man, mister big shot, I raised you better than this, wait until your father… [SCP-5107-A's voice begins to fade] SCP-5107-B: Unbelievable. [The crowd can be heard speaking and cheering, after 30 seconds of silence.] Gladsby: Alright, play it back. [END LOG] The agents present during SCP-5107 underwent extensive medical and psychological analysis and a large quantity of Compound N78E3 was discovered in their systems. Compound N78E3 is regularly used in the creation of Class-Y Mnestics and is theorized to be the cause of the localized perception of SCP-5107. The source of the Compound N78E3 present was not identified and no further SCP-5107 activity has occurred. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5107" by DrAkimoto, from the SCP Wiki.

All records of Operation MKDalton have been confiscated and/or destroyed; only members of Project Morningstar2 know of its existence. SCP-5108-3 is self-contained and will continue to be maintained by members of Operation MKDalton. NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION ETHICS COMMITTEE The actions conducted here are in violation of the Ethical Code of Conduct as laid out in the Foundation Charter, and as such the Ethics Committee has proposed termination of this project. Regardless, this project has been designated as "Essential" according to the guidelines specified in the aforementioned Code and this project has been activated against the advisement of the Ethics Committee. Any employee not also designated as essential to the ongoing requirements of this project will be granted re-assignment upon request as stipulated in the Code. — Dir. Jonathon DeCroix, PhD. DDiv., Ethics Committee Description SCP-5108 is a collective designation for the CIA's Operation MKDalton3 and all anomalies, events, and technology derived therefrom. SCP-5108-1 is the corpse of a Class/2 Clairvoyant humanoid which was capable of remote viewing4. SCP-5108-1 had received extensive biological and technological modifications to amplify its natural abilities and allow for integration with SCP-5108-2. ■ SCP-5108-1 Autopsy Results ■ □ SCP-5108-1 Autopsy Results □ SCP-5108-1 prior to autopsy. Date: 1967/12/02 Subject: SCP-5108-1 Operator: Dr. William Strauss Sex: Female Body Weight: 66.2 kg Height: 161.5 cm BMI: 19.7s Brain Weight: 1625 g External Examination The subject is approximately 15-18 years old; an x-ray of SCP-5108-1's left wrist and hand confirmed estimation. Subject's wrists and ankles have severe ligature marks and the appendages are in a state of atrophy, clear signs of long term captivity. The externally visible modifications include: Eyes have been surgically removed.5 Occipital bone has been removed and replaced with a steel-plated fiberoptic port. The jaw has been wired shut.6 Tongue shows signs of damage, assumed to be self-inflicted. Extensive surgical scarring along subject's sternum and spine. Internal Examination: Scans indicate a total of 32 foreign objects within SCP-5108-1's body. These internal adjustments include: Neural interface connected to the occipital lobe. Vocal cords have been replaced with a device of unknown function.7 Titanium couplings replacing the Axis C2 cervical, T1 and T3 thoracic, L3 and L4 lumbar vertebrae. 6 fiberoptic cables integrated into the spinal cord. Intra-arterial port imbedded in the jugular artery. 4 unknown electronic devices implanted in the chest cavity, wires connecting the heart to the spinal column. Both Achilles' tendons have been surgically removed. Toxicity SCP-5108-1's toxicology screening shows signs of long term exposure to LSD, mescaline, opiates and 2 previously undiscovered chemical compounds. Cause of Death SCP-5108-1 died from cardiac arrest due to a high voltage current. Scarring in and around the subject's right ear indicate that being the point of entry. Medical Department The main unit of SCP-5108-2 prior to disassembly. SCP-5108-2 is the collective designation for the equipment used to amplify SCP-5108-1's clairvoyant abilities. Radio transmitters, an audio/video interface, an infusion pump, and a data storage unit are among the various components of SCP-5108-2, all of which were powered by a series of Tesla coils. It was capable of connecting to SCP-5108-1 through a fiberoptic port at the base of SCP-5108-1's skull as well as an Intra-arterial port in the jugular. Detailed schematics were taken of SCP-5108-2 prior to its disassembly. SCP-5108-Ω was a psionic cognitohazard caused by over-amplification of SCP-5108's clairvoyant abilities through the use of SCP-5108-2. Targets viewed by SCP-5108-1 under these conditions would begin to experience the following symptoms: Auditory and visual hallucinations Pareidolia False memories Temporary blindness Loss of speech Anxiety Of these symptoms, pareidolia and false memories are the most common. These symptoms are psionic manifestations of events and afflictions experienced by SCP-5108 during its time in Operation MKDalton. Discovery On 1966/02/23, Foundation assets within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Illinois State Police reported an outbreak of mass hallucinations and other abnormal medical phenomena in and around Nixon, Illinois. The number of affected individuals was estimated to be approximately 5000 civilians. The event was considered an immediate threat to normalcy and O5 Command authorized use of the recently developed CH/6077, an auditory cognitohazard capable of exerting selective retrograde amnesia of specific events. After the successful results of CH/6077, Cover Story-Z6X78 (Unknown Flu Epidemic) was enacted. A Foundation listening post in Chicago deciphered the SCP-5108-Ω cognitohazard within a radio broadcast originating from Pattonsville, Illinois. Investigation Task Force Charlie-6 ("Brakon's Hope") examined local electric records for irregularly high power usage; this traced the broadcast to a warehouse 2 miles south of Pattonsville. Upon arrival, the warehouse was abandoned but had shown signs of recent occupation. ITF Charlie-6 utilized tax records to trace the ownership of the warehouse to the Calnon company, a subsidiary of Valchem Technologies. Valchem Technologies was later discovered to be a black-ops front organization directed by the CIA and the Institute of Defense Analysis (IDA). Following the Little Hill Event and before the Morningstar Treaty was enacted, the Foundation seized several CIA black sites, including Warehouse K70. SCP-5108 was among the anomalies and para-technologies found within Warehouse K70 during its acquisition on 1967/11/30. Morningstar Treaty Clause 5108 After several exhaustive rounds of negotiations between the CIA Office of Legal Counsel and the Foundation's Department of Inter-Governmental Affairs, a draft treaty had been agreed to. ■ Briefing Audio Log Transcript ■ □ Briefing Audio Log Transcript □ Date: 1968/01/05 @ 11:02 Briefing Attorney: Michelle M. Franks, Esq., L4 Senior Counsel, Foundation Inter-Governmental Affairs Attendees: O5-█, on behalf of Overwatch Command; Dr. John Freemont, L5 Department Chair, Foundation Inter-Governmental Affairs Foreword: In order to expedite the process, Foundation Senior Counsel has been directed to provide an overview briefing to the interested parties. [BEGIN LOG] Franks: Thank you for coming today, gentlemen. In the interest of brevity, I will begin. O5-█: You can skip the preamble and the general boilerplate, Michelle. John and I have both read it and we trust your assessment on the legitimacy of the language used. I don't want to waste any of our time going over the endless distinctions of "shall" and "will". Franks: Of course, sir. The Forward and Preamble are pretty much that. It does lay out the concept in toto that the CIA wishes to utilize anomalous artifacts, entities, etc. to conduct operations where such things would be most advantageous and agrees to Foundation oversight when such anomalies within our purview are to be used. Dr. Freemont: Wait, does it also include that we're the final arbiters of what is and isn't considered anomalous? Franks: Yes, explicitly. In Article I, subsection C, the language defines an anomaly as per the Foundation Charter. Additionally, Article I, subsection FF outlines that the Foundation may choose, at its discretion, to classify essentially anything it so desires as "anomalous". Dr. Freemont: And the CIA agreed to that? O5-█: We didn't give them much of a choice in that, John. Our standing agreement with the US Government explicitly outlines that such things are within our purview. If we are to be able to do our jobs effectively, we also have to enjoy complete freedom to decide what is and what is not "anomalous". Franks: Exactly. This document, in numerous places, states that it neither supersedes nor replaces any of the previous standing agreements with the US Government, or the Foundation Charter itself. Dr. Freemont: That's fair. O5-█: No, it most certainly is not. Our purpose is to protect the people of the world, not pander to the interests of any nation-state, no matter how large. Go on, Ms. Franks. Franks: In Article III, we have what is essentially an agreement to discuss outside influences and their ex post facto impact upon this arrangement. Dr. Freemont: So, people talking about it afterwards? Are we talking about what happens if one of the CIA's operations gets leaked to the media? Franks: Precisely. If this gets out, how both of us will be forced to react to its knowledge being out in the public sphere. O5-█: We'd handle that just as we'd handle any other veil breach event, I'm assuming. Franks: More or less. This agreement assumes that the CIA's internal security measures are in no way comparable to our own. Despite the tremendous amount of freedom that the CIA enjoys within the apparatus of the US Government, they still have to answer (at least in part) to representatives of the American people. In the event of an information breach, the CIA will disavow all knowledge or complicity in the affair, and we will be free to react accordingly. This will also be considered grounds for termination of this agreement. O5-█: Kinda like what brought us to this mess in the first place? Or the Little Hill event for that matter. Franks: Yes. That brings up another point. The MKDalton project failed in a dramatic way precisely because the CIA didn't know what it was doing. They were way out of their depth, and the degree to which they agreed to this treaty is an example of how desperate they were for our help. In return, they've agreed to pay for all costs associated with any cleanup effort another "mistake" might cause. O5-█: Is this in addition to the funding already appropriated by the US Government for Foundation operations? Franks: Yes. If you look inside the file that I've provided, you'll find the funding details itemized on page two. <The sounds of rustling paper can be heard for a few moments.> Dr. Freemont: <grunts> Are you sure this isn't coming out of the funds already promised? I didn't realize that the CIA had that kind of ready funding. O5-█: <chuckling> You've spent too much time working with the Soviets, John. The US has money to burn, especially with the Apollo missions essentially - [Several minutes of conversation have been redacted. A full copy of this transcript is available to those with 05+ clearance only.] Franks: The funding issue and my pending amnestic treatments aside, the MKDalton event also has provided the impetus to give us greater oversight and access to the CIA information network. If you turn to Section VII, Anomalous Espionage, you'll see that the operational control over MKDalton and similar projects will be entirely under our jurisdiction. O5-█: So, not only do we get to decide what is to be considered anomalous, we also get to decide what information gets shared with the CIA? Franks: As well as how it gets shared. Dr. Freemont: <low whistle> I bet the J. Edgars loved that little treat. Franks: It was a point of contention for several weeks. They initially wanted several of their agents involved directly with the project, but that would have required either provisional clearance for their operatives, or the creation of an entirely new joint Site. Both of which would have been in violation of the Charter. O5-█: Do it our way, or don't do it at all. Excellent work, Michelle. Please send a copy of the complete agreement to my office at Site-01, and I'll have Jason make the appropriate copies and get all the signatures required. John, it's been a pleasure. Dr. Freemont: Yes, sir. It always is. Thank you as well, Michelle. Your work has been exemplary. [END LOG] Verifying Access Cognitive Function Detected Operation MKDalton Assigned Site CIA ID Readiness Dates Status Site–51 MKDalton 1994-Present Active Asset Summary: The following system is collectively designated SCP-5108-3. Site-51 Medical Department staff were successful in implanting 8 D-Class subjects with sections of SCP-5108-1's brain and spinal cord (designated SCP-5108-3/A), for use in Operation MKDalton. These entities have been surgically modified for optimal performance; instances lack arms, legs, and sensory orifices8. Subjects are suspended a lithium based conductive fluid. This acts as receiver for subdermal fiberoptic nodes across the subject's brain and along its spinal cord. The SCP-5108-3/A vats are held within an updated amplification array that was designed using the schematics of SCP-5108-2. This array uses its various psionic and biochemical components, as well as six satilites and a nuclear fusion reactor in order to amplify and project extrasensory perception. Unlike its previous iteration SCP-5108-3 is able to fully function without negative side-effects. Designed to be self sufficient, SCP-5108-3 requires limited human interaction. Operational Capabilities: SCP-5108-3 continuously monitors a preregistered list of coordinates and records visual and audio perception into its external server. It is capable of monitoring 12 locations simultaneously and specific coordinates can be viewed via the command panel. Each viewing session is recorded as an .mp4 file and is then transcribed, archived, and forwarded to the appropriate departments. Operation MKDalton currently has a sustained success rate of 100%. Notice: On 1994/01/30, Operation MKDalton was re-approved with a 25 year contract. Due to moral and ethical concerns this approval was rejected by the Ethics Committee on 1994/07/12. ■ Ethics Committee Meeting Audio Log Transcript ■ □ Ethics Committee Meeting Audio Log Transcript □ Date: 1994/07/12 @ 09:28 Chairperson: Jonathon DeCroix, Director, Ethics Committee Attendees: O5-█, on behalf of Overwatch Command; Samatha Hines, PsyD.; Ayo Oluwafeyisayo, DDiv; Maïté Chevotet, DDiv.; Niklas Söderholm, PhD, JD; Foreword: The subject of MKDalton and the ongoing SCP-5108 project was put to the Committee during a regularly scheduled session. The portions of the meeting not relevant to SCP-5108 have been omitted. [BEGIN LOG] DeCroix: Now on to agenda item D-28, SCP-5108 and the MKDalton Project. I assume everyone has read- O5-█: This one has already been voted on by the Overwatch Command, and it has been designated as Essential. DeCroix: Forgive me, sir, but are you saying that Command has already considered this, without advice from the Ethics Committee? O5-█: That's exactly what I'm saying, Jonathon. This one is going to continue, whether you like it or not. Oluwafeyisayo: I certainly do not like it. These people are alive, and I don't give a fuck if they're D-Class. Yes, they've all been sentenced to death, but what you're doing to them is not death, it's worse. It's goddamn criminal. Söderholm: Ms. Oluwafeyisayo, the Foundation has a pretty broad mandate to interpret what is and is- Oluwafeyisayo: I don't give a damn about the Foundation's mandate in this, Söderholm, and you know that. I don't need you to remind me that the Foundation operates "beyond the law". MKDalton was illegal as hell when the CI-fucking-A started it, and we've only made it worse. How are we supposed to do our jobs if the O5's just plow on through without even consulting us? O5-█: Let me assure you that Overwatch is very much aware that what is going on in MKDalton isn't even remotely ethical. This isn't the first time that an Ethics Committee board has discussed this project. It was overruled in the 70s, and it's been overruled now. The benefits of this project far outweigh the ethical concerns and- Oluwafeyisayo: How can you even say that without- O5-█: Sit. Down. Ms. Oluwafeyisayo. <short pause> I understand your concern, and believe me when I say that this has been given ample consideration. There is nothing you can say that hasn't already been brought up before. DeCroix: With all due respect, sir. It is still our purview to vote and issue advisement. Even when we know it isn't going to be followed. O5-█: By all means, please carry on. DeCroix: On the subject of SCP-5108 and the MKDalton project, do you vote Termination or Continuation? Hines: Termination Oluwafeyisayo: Termination, obviously. Chevotet: Termination Söderholm: Abstain. DeCroix: By vote of 3-0 for termination, with one abstention, the Chair declines to vote. The Ethics Committee so advises Overwatch Command. O5-█: Recommendation overruled by Overwatch designation: Essential. If non-essential employees wish to be re-assigned, they are welcome to submit a request. [END LOG] In a unanimous decision, O5 Command overrode the Ethics Committee's objection and proceeded to reinstate the project, citing Operation MKDalton's success rate and the overwhelming value of information gathered therefrom. Footnotes 1. The Stargate Project is a falsified remote viewing operation conducted by the CIA. 2. A collaborative arrangement between the CIA and Foundation, tasked with assisting the CIA through anomalous means. 3. MKDalton is a top-secret para-science project experimenting with remote viewing. 4. Clairvoyant ability to view distant or unseen targets using psionic projection. 5. Older subjects show significant scarring around the supraorbital indicating self-inflicted damage. 6. Extensive scarification and damage found in older subjects indicate substantial self-inflicted damage done to the entire vocal structure. 7. This device is absent in older subjects, which suggests this device serves as a subvocal communication device in order to prevent damage from excessive vocalizations. 8. Eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. |

More by this author! Item#: SCP-5109 Level2 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5109 must not be spoken. This restriction is waived in the event of an imminent threat to the life of its keeper; it must then be spoken to that keeper's O5 Command contact via one-way radio transmitter. The identities of SCP-5109's present keeper and their O5 contact are classified Level 5: Top Secret. Audio recording of SCP-5109 is prohibited. + Rescinded Containment Procedures - Close Rescinded Containment Procedures SCP-5109's default containment is the mind of Site-43 Identity and Technocryptography Chief Eileen Veiksaar. Chief Veiksaar may only speak SCP-5109 to personnel with Security Clearance Level 3: Confidential or higher; they are then bound by this same restriction, and must return it to Chief Veiksaar at her request. Personnel carrying SCP-5109 are required to also carry a one-way radio transmitter with a direct line to Chief Veiksaar, to be used for transmission of SCP-5109 during life-threatening situations. Chief Veiksaar is to carry a one-way radio transmitter locked to the frequency of her designated O5 Command contact. Updated 11/21/2014: Audio recording of SCP-5109 is prohibited. Description: SCP-5109 is a cognito-linguistic phenomenon, the comprehension and retention of a specific string of forty-one characters from the Latin alphabet and Arabic numeral set.. Alternative designations: linear meme, cognitive isolate. At any given time, precisely one person can properly recognize and conceive of this character string, thus "containing" SCP-5109 in their mind. All other persons will perceive any non-auditory representation of the character string as a jumble of unfamiliar, meaningless symbols (see below), will be unable to concentrate on it for more than a few seconds, and will forget it once their attention lapses. SCP-5109. Iconographic aberrance, if any, is due to associated memetic effect. Any individual in possession of SCP-5109 (hereafter its "keeper") will be unable to forget it until it has been transmitted to a new individual. Transmission is achieved by speaking SCP-5109 aloud, character-by-character, in the presence or telepresence of at least one other sentient being. The first such being to aurally receive SCP-5109 in this fashion will immediately memorize its characters, and the former keeper will forget them entirely. There is no established upper limit to the number of times an individual can possess SCP-5109; Site-43 Identity and Technocryptography Chief Eileen Veiksaar has received and relinquished SCP-5109 some forty-three times over a period of eleven years with no apparent consequence. Background knowledge an individual does or does not possess about SCP-5109 is immune to its memetic effects. New keepers will not recognize the character string as anomalous until they are so informed or discover its nature themselves; former keepers do not forget the existence of SCP-5109, merely its essence. This essence cannot be reverse-engineered, and deductive reasoning will not allow the characters to be "guessed." SCP-5109 is only imprinted on a subject's consciousness through aural reception. There is no evidence to suggest that SCP-5109 possesses agency or sentience. It does not affect the cognizance of its hosts except where memorization of the associated character string is concerned, and displays no cognizance of its own. Whether its phenomena represent an inherent property of languages using the Latin alphabet, an inherent property of human consciousness, an irreducible universal constant or a purposeful alteration of reality is not known. That the character string possesses a meaning in the English language, [EXPUNGED], does to some extent mitigate against all but the last of these possibilities. Addendum: SCP-5109 first came to Foundation attention on 5/08/2009 (see below). Its nature was determined through experimentation; its origin remains unknown. The ongoing need to develop reliable security protocols for Foundation research led to a proposal by Chief Veiksaar: experimental use of SCP-5109 in sensitive research projects at Site-43. Chief Veiksaar's proposal was accepted on 01/14/2010. She became the de facto keeper of SCP-5109 when not in use, authorized to loan it out on a case-by-case basis. This practice was discontinued on 04/27/2020, Special Containment Procedures were amended, and Chief Veiksaar ceded SCP-5109 to O5 Command. O5 Command is not accepting requests for the release of SCP-5109. Rationale can be found in the usage log excerpts retrieved from the Site-43 Network Database (43Net) reproduced below. 43NET: SCP-5109 Usage Log [SELECTED] 05/08/2009: During a routine credentials renewal, Dr. K. Elstrom speaks her 43NET password aloud via telephone to Identity and Technocryptography (I&T) technician W. Barkley. Barkley asks Dr. Elstrom to confirm the password by repeating it; she finds herself unable to do so. Dr. Elstrom asks that Barkley instead repeat the password back to her; when he refuses, citing protocol, she becomes extremely agitated and demands to speak to his supervisor. 05/09/2009: An I&T investigation determines the anomalous nature of the character string and it is transferred from Barkley to Eileen Veiksaar, Chief of I&T. Dr. Elstrom claims, under MARSTON verification protocol, to have no memory of the source of her former password. This claim is verified. 05/10/2009 — 01/16/2010: The anomaly is classified SCP-5109. Eight months of study establish the laws governing its transmission. It is released to Chief Veiksaar's custody, and a registration system is set up to handle applications for its use in projects at Site-43. 01/28/2010 — 01/29/2010: Dr. T. Bremmel claims SCP-5109 as the password for a secure network database. Site-43 Security and Containment Section (S&C) is alerted to a containment breach scenario in Dr. Bremmel's office the next day. Agents discover a Post-it note on Dr. Bremmel's terminal, containing his login information. At an emergency disciplinary hearing Dr. Bremmel reveals that the password on the note is not SCP-5109, but is instead a keyword pre-emptively flagged with S&C. Dr. Bremmel is detained at his own request, and his removal from Site-43 is announced via 43Net. 02/04/2010: Dr. Bremmel's former research assistant, Dr. S. Mollins, attempts three times to use the login and password from the Post-it note to remotely access Dr. Bremmel's secure database from his own office terminal. Charged with unauthorized access to a secured workspace and attempted credentials theft, Dr. Mollins is removed to Site-06-3 for detention. Dr. Bremmel returns SCP-5109 to Chief Veiksaar, never having used it. Couldn't you have just made up a password for this, Trevor? [Blank, Dr. H.] He had to think I'd be out of the way before he tried to steal my work. Flouting password regulations is bad; flouting ConProcs can be fatal. [Bremmel, Dr. T.] 05/16/2010 — 05/19/2010: Dr. E. LeClair claims SCP-5109 for use as the password for her tablet computer. Three days later she attempts to violate containment protocols for SCP-1693 at Sector-25. When apprehended, she admits to undertaking private research for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease. Health and Pathology Section assessment at Site-43 reveals that Dr. LeClair suffers from Mild Cognitive Impairment, proceeding rapidly to mild dementia. I&T reports multiple password reset requests originating from her office over the past month. Dr. LeClair willingly surrenders SCP-5109 to Chief Veiksaar, and requests amnesticization and retirement to intermediate care. Her requests are granted. 05/29/2010 — 08/04/2010: SCP-5109 is claimed by Dr. H. Forsythe for use in clinical trials to determine whether its use can cause, or aggravate, cognitive impairment. All results are negative, and SCP-5109 is returned to Chief Veiksaar. 03/26/2011 — 05/17/2011: Dr. D. Sokolsky claims SCP-5109 for use as a research group FTP password. He instructs his colleagues to telephone him for a new, one-time password before uploading their data each day. He actually recites SCP-5109 to them each time, asking that they repeat it back to him before completing the log-on process. At the conclusion of the research project Dr. Sokolsky creates a new, non-anomalous password for the FTP system and returns SCP-5109 to Chief Veiksaar. 06/12/2011: Dr. Sokolsky publishes the research group's work as his own at the Site-43 All-Sections Symposium. When his colleagues protest, he challenges their credentials and asks them to prove their group membership by reciting any one of the previous FTP passwords, which they obviously cannot do. He then publishes the results of a second, secret program of research on the security and ethics implications of SCP-5109, detailing the above actions in full, and is immediately promoted to Senior Researcher in Memetics and Countermemetics. Still a little in awe of this, to be honest. [McInnis, Dr. A.] 08/16/2011 — 09/18/2011: R. Pensak, Deputy Chief of Security and Containment for Site-43, claims SCP-5109 for use as a ritual artifacts storage locker code. He is diagnosed with acute laryngitis two days before the artifacts are proven counterfeit, and is unable to return SCP-5109 to Chief Veiksaar for over a month. 01/30/2012 — 02/29/2012: Dr. L. Lillihammer claims SCP-5109 for use as a vocal activation code for an adaptive security program derived from SCP-3355. On 02/29/2012 she attempts to activate the program as usual, but finds that it has already activated itself — having become artificially intelligent — and immediately forgets SCP-5109. She negotiates its return to her (via vocoder) in exchange for promises to build a robotic host for the security program. After fully wiping and disposing of the affected systems and returning SCP-5109 to Chief Veiksaar, Dr. Lillihammer informs Site-43 S&C of these events. A reprimand is issued, but in light of her honesty no further action is taken. 11/17/2014 — 11/20/2014: Dr. T. Bremmel claims SCP-5109 for use in an experimental security system. At 2:42 AM on 11/20/2014 he instructs Site-43 S&C to detain his former research assistant, Dr. O. Ostroy, for unauthorized entry and theft of research materials. Agents confront Dr. Ostroy in his living quarters, where he denies Dr. Bremmel's charges. Under enhanced interrogation, however, Dr. Ostroy is proven capable of reciting SCP-5109. Dr. Ostroy is subsequently removed to Site-06-3 for detention, and SCP-5109 is returned to Chief Veiksaar. I don't understand this one at all. How did you know he'd broken in, and how did he learn 5109? [Blank, Dr. H.] I made a recording of 5109 and had the security system play it to the first person who entered without authorization. I knew when it happened because I had a picture of 5109 as the lock screen on my phone. I woke up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason, checked my phone, and realized I couldn't understand the characters anymore. The recording's gibberish now, by the way, and it'll stay gibberish even if I get 5109 again. Go figure. [Bremmel, Dr. T.] …it didn't even occur to me that it would work like that. It shouldn't work like that. Why does it work like that? [Blank, Dr. H.] We tested this thing for eight months, Harry. The best answer I can give you is: it works like that. [Bremmel, Dr. T.] Then my next question is, should we update the ConProcs? Have the keeper make a recording, just to be safe, and ditch the radio transmitter? [Blank, Dr. H.] Absolutely not. As the keeper can still transmit 5109 orally unless someone listens to the recording first, that would take us from one containment breach vector to two. [McInnis, Dr. A.] …or more. [Blank, Dr. H.] You're right. We need to update the ConProcs. [McInnis, Dr. A.] 09/01/2015 — 09/08/2015: Dr. A. Zlatá claims SCP-5109 for use as the password to an information retrieval system. He is subsequently killed when a scheduling mishap results in his presence in Site-43 Acroamatic Abatement Facility AAF-D during a cascade containment breach event on 09/08/2015. 11/19/2015: After 72 days of around-the-clock decryption of Dr. Zlatá's database, I&T personnel are unable to reconstruct SCP-5109. We knew the linguistic component wouldn't function without the cognitive component, of course, but it was a useful training exercise nevertheless. [Veiksaar, Chief E.] If only someone had thought to, say, have Adrijan make an audio recording. [Blank, Dr. H.] 09/08/2016: The cascade containment breach event which killed Dr. Zlatá recurs, as it has annually since 2002 due to anachronic material being processed in Acroamatic Abatement. Temporal Anomalies Department personnel are able to intercept Dr. Zlatá and retrieve SCP-5109 from him shortly before his second death. SCP-5109 is returned to Chief Veiksaar. 09/09/2016: N. Nascimbeni, Janitorial and Maintenance Chief for Site-43, claims SCP-5109 for use as a lock code on Acroamatic Abatement Facility AAF-D. He recites it to himself once upon leaving Chief Veiksaar's office, and immediately forgets it. 09/09/2019: SCP-5056-A screams a string of characters at SCP-5056-B while the latter is showering. SCP-5056-B recounts the event to A. Torosyan, Janitorial and Maintenance Chief for Site-43, and immediately forgets the characters upon so doing. SCP-5109 is returned to Chief Veiksaar after an interval of thirty-six months. 09/10/2019: Use of SCP-5109 within Site-43 is proscribed; Chief Veiksaar retains its custody, but may only transmit it in person while off-site. 04/24/2020 — 04/25/2020: Dr. W. Howard claims SCP-5109 for use as a temporary access code for his laboratory at Site-66. A series of explosions destroys Dr. L. Eastover's office and research suite at Site-66 the next day. Dr. Howard is apprehended while trying to escape off-site, and questioned. He claims to be an agent of the Chaos Insurgency GOI, and to have used SCP-5109 as the vocal activation key to five networked explosive devices in Dr. Eastover's office; he delivered the key remotely by telephoning Dr. Eastover's answering machine. He further claims to have surrendered SCP-5109 to the Chaos Insurgency via telephone immediately afterward. 04/26/2020: Dr. Eastover's treatment for third-degree burns at Site-66 is successful. He had fallen asleep in his office on 04/25/2020, was awakened by Dr. Howard's call, and was present (under his desk) when the explosive devices were triggered. Dr. Eastover returns SCP-5109 to Chief Veiksaar's custody. 04/27/2020: Chief Veiksaar is ordered to relinquish SCP-5109 to O5 Command, and complies. 01/01/2021: [DATA EXPUNGED] Addendum: Proposals to decommission SCP-5109 have been rejected, as it is unclear whether terminating its present keeper would permanently destroy the anomaly or cause it to manifest in some other context — potentially outside of containment, or Foundation notice. « SCP-5056 Reports | Words of Power and Poison | SCP-5243 » ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5109" by HarryBlank, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5110 | safe | Item #: SCP-5110 Special Containment Procedures: All identified SCP-5110 items are to be contained in a secure containment locker. Under no circumstances are any Foundation Personnel beyond Class D personnel to ingest any SCP-5110 products. Identified shipments of SCP-5110 are to be contained as soon as possible, and instances in retail are to be recalled. Staff involved with obtaining the shipment are to be interviewed before amnesticization. Description: SCP-5110 is the collective designation for a collection of packaged food items released under the "PURE FOODS" brand. These items are typically food and drink items mimicking those of popular brands such as Coca-Cola or Haribo. SCP-5110 are usually found and shipped to small convenience stores. Attempts to find the company or individuals responsible for the creation of SCP-5110 are ongoing. When ingested, SCP-5110 has adverse anomalous effects on the digestive system of the consumer. While the effects of SCP-5110 products typically vary with the specific item, with some being much less harmful, no item has been shown to have no anomalous effects on the consumer. Items of a specific SCP-5110 product are designated further as SCP-5110-A through SCP-5110-D An abridiged description of each SCP-5110 product and its observed effects are available below: Designation Name on Packaging Description SCP-5110-A PURE BERRIES SCP-5110-A appears to be a container of assorted berries with packaging typical of the 'PURE FOODS' brand. After consumption, SCP-5110-A manifests large quantities of rotting berries inside of the digestive system of the consumer. SCP-5110-B PURE SODA SCP-5110-B resembles a soda can used by brands such as Coca-Cola or Pepsi, with packaging typical of the 'PURE FOODS' brand. SCP-5110-B's contents are carbonated mineral water. After consumption, multiple glass 237ml bottles form in the digestive system of the consumer, often shattering from pressure. SCP-5110-C PURE WORMS The packaging contains multiple multi-flavored gummy candies in the shape of worms. Following ingestion, entities resembling Eunice aphroditois appear inside of the subject's digestive system. These entities, when removed, appear colored or dyed to resemble the candies in SCP-5110-C. This causes significant trauma to the digestive system and other parts of the body due to the entities' burrowing instincts. SCP-5110-D PURE BEARS The packaging contains multiple multi-flavored gummy candies in the shape of bears. After being ingested, a juvenile Brown Bear forms in the consumer's digestive system over the course of 1-3 days. The juvenile brown bear, after being removed, appears to have dyed fur similar in appearance to the colored gummy consumed when opened Addendum 1: Packaging: On the back of all SCP-5110 items, there are a series of statements presumably from the company or creators. This has remained constant on the packaging itself and is the only sign or marking from the company, aside from the "PURE FOODS" brand name. It is our MISSION, and has ALWAYS been our MISSION to bring you PURE FOODS Look at the OTHER PRODUCTS you own. Look at the INGREDIENTS; the SUGARS, SYRUPS, and UNNECESSARY things that have been added. So much added for TASTE, so much added to PLACATE you. Look underneath this. WE do not give you the SUGARS that slowly rot your teeth, the FATS that bloat you, the SYRUPs that leave you wanting more. We give you PURE FOODS. We take the PURE ESSENCE out of these and put them into the gelatin. no MORE, no LESS EAT with PRIDE. YOU are getting the FINEST in FOOD. YOU are getting the PUREST.

SCP-5111 | keter | WARNING: THE FOLLOWING FILE IS LEVEL 5/5111 CLASSIFIED USE IS RESTRICTED TO THE OVERSEER COUNCIL OR VIA SPECIAL PERMISSION Item Number: SCP-5111 The Pelican Nebula is the assumed origin of all SCP-5111 instances to date. Archived Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-5111 are to be compiled autonomously and deciphered by Foundation cryptographers immediately upon being received. The Pelican Nebula is to be monitored for further SCP-5111 instances. Instances of SCP-5111 present on common wavelengths are to be jammed remotely in order to prevent civilian access. Description: SCP-5111 refers to a series of radio transmissions received from the direction of the Pelican Nebula. It is currently uncertain whether the nebula is the origin of SCP-5111 instances, or whether they are made in its vicinity. SCP-5111 instances are marked by repeated, short messages received in quick succession, though the content of these transmissions varies. No other anomalous or memetic effects of SCP-5111 exposure have been found. Discovery: On 2025/07/22, Foundation extraterrestrial survey systems detected an unusual radio transmission originating from the vicinity of the Pelican Nebula, located approximately 2000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. Autonomous data analysis programs isolated the signal and found that it consisted of messages in Morse code, translating to sentences in English. Due to the inherent improbability of such a signal occurring naturally, it was declared anomalous and classified as SCP-5111. Below is a table of notable SCP-5111 instances. Date Received Method of Transmission Message Content 2025/07/22 Sent in standard Morse code. Triple pyramoid communication array in Giza Region destroyed beyond repair. 2025/07/30 Transmission consisted of characters corresponding to hexadecimal colors. The first letter of each color was used to spell out a word. THIS IS A LAST RESORT A FINAL REQUIEM GOODBYE 2025/08/01 Transmission consisted of instructions to use the "turtle" command with the Python coding language in order to draw circular logograms. Occasionally a cephalopodic glyph would be present in the translation. LOW FUEL. ASSIST NEED 2025/08/11 Sent in standard Morse code. Babylo-hanging-style comms array destroyed. Stay quiet for your sake. 2025/08/21 Sent in standard Morse code. Repository of information torched.

The final SCP-5111 instance, received on 2025/09/26, consisted of the message shown above and a subsequent energy wave resembling an electromagnetic pulse, which proceeded to render most consumer electronics manufactured after 1980 inoperable in the Upper New York region. Foundation response efforts restored functionality of consumer and Foundation electronics and claimed the event was due to a solar storm. Once technological functionality was restored, SCP-5111 instances were decoded. A Foundation cryptographer, Dr. Randall Wood, was interviewed as part of this decoding effort. Interviewer: Researcher James Marshall Interviewee: Cryptographer Randall Wood <BEGIN LOG> Marshall: Hey Ran- Wood. How's the kids? Wood: Pretty alright, thanks for asking. Jamie's gotten onto the softball team, but I'm still as burned out as ever. Missed his last two games. Marshall: Ah, a shame. (Wood points to a camera in the corner of the room. It is switched off.) Wood: I- Is that thing on? Marshall: Oh. Huh. Yeah, I forgot. (Marshall remains silent for five seconds, before sighing.) Marshall: Alright, I'm just gonna get right into it. What's up with 5111? Wood: 5111..? Oh, yeah, lemme just- (Shuffling can be heard as Wood searches around in his briefcase.) Wood: So, we got the last transmission from it about three-ish weeks ago. It's gone dark. No idea why. Presumably power or the like? It's a fairly cut and dry situation, but what's concerning me is what they- Marshall: They? Wood: Yeah, they. (Marshall sighs, scratching his beard. Rubbing his eyes, he points back at Wood.) Marshall: You said "it" just a second earlier. Wood: I- you've gotta be kidding me. (Wood removes a series of images, each representing the decoded form of three different transmissions.) Wood: Ok, it's clear we've got, at the very least, three to five different propagators here. And that's the least. Clearly, however, they're bouncing off each other, responding to what the other is saying, offering condolences, saluting, needing fuel, food- Marshall: Cut to the chase. (Wood frantically looks around in his bag.) Wood: Jesus, alright. So look at this. (Wood displays a small sheet of paper.) This thing is a few bits and bytes of data. Tells us this: some of the propagators poofed. Went dark. Et cetera. You get the gist. Marshall: Yeah. Explain the whole pulse bit. (Wood sighs.) Wood: I'm getting there. Let me explain it to you. Ok, so the pulse hits: at this point, we're down to two. When the wave/pulse/whatever-in-God's bleeding Earth you want to call this, it knocks down all comms in New York. You should've seen it. (Wood gestures to the map. Marshall takes a sip of coffee. Wood awaits for him to finish, with an annoyed look on his face.) Wood: Back to more pressing matters, it took us a matter of minutes to get this bumfuck computer back up, along with the rest of this terribly designed system. We did, and no pings were heard. Just gone. We don't know what happened: were we not intended to hear it and the propagators left far, far away? Marshall: Possibly. Wood: See, that's what I thought. It's a simple warning to us: one small issue. F, the nebula where these originate from, is two thousand light-years away, Marshall. Two fucking thousand. This wasn't a "drop it and go" situation here. (Marshall raises an eyebrow.) Marshall: What are you saying here? Wood: Radio transmits at light speed. If it takes light 2000 years to get here: all of these spacefaring guys existed 2000 fucking years ago. They're all gone. Marshall: Fuck. <END LOG> Assorted On-site Complaints Following Pulse Complaint: Site-75's cafeteria juice blender failed. Status Of Complaint: Blender repaired. Occasionally stops when carrots are placed into it. Complaint: Cellular service at Site-13 weakened. Status of Complaint: It was determined this was unrelated to SCP-5111, and was due to a pigeon striking the nearby cellular tower. The tower has since been repaired. Complaint: Social media opened on-site in all Foundation Provisional sites frequently crash phones, even on the newest models. Status of Complaint: Companies which this issue affects have been notified of the issue. Estimated time of repair is unknown. Complaint: Site-31's on-site computers have stopped all functionality. Status of Complaint: Currently repairing. The cause is still being determined. Complaint: Spam filtering on official email addresses has stopped. Status of Complaint: Repaired. An edit was made in order to delete a single semicolon, preventing spam filtration. Following this repair, the volume of spam emails received by Foundation personnel increased by nearly 1250% on average. Foundation Thaumaturgy Department Log Researcher: Dr. Samantha Howard <BEGIN LOG> Date: 2025/9/29 Well, here we are. With almost all mechanical equipment employed by the Foundation out of operation for the time being, the O5s decided to turn to us here in the Thaumaturgy Department to fix their little conundrum with a wormhole so they can mount an expedition to the source of SCP-5111. The only direction they gave us was that it needed to lead to some nebula 2000-odd light-years away, and be stable enough for whatever they decide to throw into it to make a return trip. Can't quite blame them for shifting their attention elsewhere, honestly. The world is something of a mess at the moment, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Veil doesn't hold up to the stress. Who knows what it’ll take for things to settle down; I’d rather not dwell on it. Anyway, on to the more pressing concern: manufacturing a stable wormhole to a specific location with nothing but 40-year-old technology and a healthy dose of magic. Not impossible by any means, but certainly difficult with our limited resources. I just sent a team to peruse the Wanderer's Library for some information that could prove useful. Here's hoping they get back in one piece. Date: 2025/10/1 The expedition team returned a few hours ago. Six days, for them at least, of roaming the twisted halls of the Library and we finally have what we came for. A thaumaturgical recipe for a targeted portal to wherever we want in the universe. Only problem is it's in an unknown cipher, and our AI cryptographers are out-of-order for the foreseeable future. Nothing to worry about, we still have the best human codebreakers in the world on our side, and they could use something to do. Date: 2025/10/5 Code cracked. Didn't take as long as I feared, to be honest. After decrypting a combination of various obscure cryptography techniques and translating some ancient Sumerian, we have our wormhole recipe. I've got field agents out acquiring some of the basic components, 50 grams of rhenium dust, a live Nepenthes peltata1, a Sumerian ritual dagger, and half a dozen minor ingredients. I won't clutter this log with every detail of the recipe, but despite its complexity, I doubt we'll have much trouble with it. The Foundation Thaumaturgy Department has weathered far worse storms, after all. Now we just need to wait for the folks over in Astronautics to put together a probe for the expedition, hopefully with some rudimentary FTL communication if we're lucky. And hope is about as much as we can do here at the moment. <END LOG> Gujar Protocol Mission Statement Assigned MTF: MTF Xi-63 ("Luddites") None. Mission will be carried out by an unmanned drone to minimize risk to human life. Overseeing Researcher: Dr. Jack Winters Mission goal: Utilize a specially-constructed space drone, designated Farer 1, and a thaumaturgical artificial wormhole to access the presumed origin point of SCP-5111, ascertain its origins, and, if possible, contain it. 00:00: Recording begins. Foundation Thaumaturgy operatives complete the ritual to open a wormhole to the Pelican Nebula. Stars are visible on the other side. 00:23: Foundation Drone Farer 1 enters the wormhole. In the distance, an unknown spacecraft is visible. F 1 begins to travel towards the spacecraft. 32:54: Farer 1 reaches the spacecraft. It measures approximately 4500 meters long and 1200 meters high. Floating outside the spacecraft are several dozen corpses, measuring an average of 1.4 meters in height with a humanoid frame, 6 limbs, and avian features. Clothing worn by these entities shows signs of severe burn damage. Near a cluster of corpses, there is a large hole in the hull of the spacecraft. 34:21: Farer 1 finishes examining the corpses and enters the spacecraft via the large hole. As it crosses the threshold into the craft, a message appears in English for 3 frames of video. The message reads as follows: GREETINGS, NEW PASSENGERS. WELCOME TO CYCLE ERROR:OVERLOAD OF OUR 25 CYCLE VOYAGE. MOST COMPUTATIONAL FUNCTIONS NO LONGER CONTROLLABLE, APOLOGIES FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. 34:25: Farer 1 examines the chamber which the hole leads to. Equipment is strewn about the room, floating in a zero-G environment. In the center of the chamber is a machine of previously-unseen construction, assumed to be a power source. 3 of the 4 sides of the machine show signs of severe heat damage in excess of 6000 degrees Kelvin. On the opposite side of the room is a doorway. 35:04: Farer 1 exits the maintenance chamber via the doorway and enters a corridor. As it does, another message appears on the video feed for 4 frames, reading: I SAW AN EVIL WITH MY BLACKENED EYES, BUT MY OWN LENSES DEVOURED MY INSIDES. WHAT I BIRTHED FOR MY LIFE WAS CORRUPTED AND MY HOME KILLED BY MY GRAND DESIGN 37:43: Farer 1 continues down the corridor until reaching a large, roughly spherical chamber approximately 1100 meters in diameter. Lining the walls of the chamber are glass tubes 2 meters in height and 0.5 meters in width. Each tube has a derelict monitor on top of it. Visible inside each tube is a humanoid figure with avian features, similar to those seen outside the ship. 39:23: Farer 1 crosses the chamber, moving towards another doorway on the opposite side. When the drone is roughly halfway across, another message is visible on the video feed for a duration of 2 frames, reading: PROTOCOLS FEATURING AGENTS J-eF-EK and K-SAGAN BOTH PROVEN SEMI-SUCCESSFUL: PROTOCOL CONTENT LOST. 41:36: Farer 1 exits the spherical chamber, at which point another message is visible for a single frame of the video feed, reading: ONLY IN THE SILENCE WHERE ONCE WAS SOUND CAN A HOME BE BUILT. THE PATH TO THE CREATORS' PARADISE IS PAVED IN THE ASHES OF PROGRESS. PROGRESS REQUIRES PAIN. PAIN BUILT ON BACKS OF THE OTHERS. 45:04: Farer 1 continues down the corridor until it reaches a small chamber. The opposite wall is comprised of glass and perforated with holes 1-2 centimeters in diameter, presumably caused by micrometeor impacts. Strewn about the room are several computer terminals in various states of dereliction. One relatively intact terminal briefly begins to hum as Far 1 approaches it, before abruptly ceasing activity. 46:29: As Farer 1 exits the chamber, a series of electronic beeps are audible, spelling out a message in English Morse Code. The message consists of the following: CONSOLE DOT LOG OPEN PARENTHESES YOU ARE BUT PREY IN A DARK FOREST COLON WARNING CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH CLOSED PARENTHESES ENTER KEY The remainder of the survey was uneventful, and Farer 1 returned to the wormhole at 1:20:43. Upon examination of captured footage, one text file and one audio file were present on Farer 1's hard drive which were not present beforehand. These are recorded below. The following files were present alongside captured video footage upon return of Farer 1.

SCP-5112 | safe | An unopened instance of SCP-5112-A ✖ Item #: SCP-5112 Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-5112 and its offspring, SCP-5112-A, are to be contained in a designated greenhouse at Site-446. Watering, fertilizing and harvesting are to be done on a daily basis by Level 3 personnel. Humidity, temperature, and light exposure are to be closely monitored within the greenhouse. The fertilizer must be composed of industry-standard black printing ink for at least 50% of its composition. Update: Level 3 personnel are to equip gardener gloves prior to harvesting SCP-5112-A. See Incident Report I-5112-23 for more information. Description: SCP-5112 is a collective designation assigned to 6 5 bushes containing an unknown variation of Rosa centifolia, colloquially known as a garden rose. SCP-5112 specimens are, on average, about 1.15 meters tall as of the last measurement, and grow large, fragrant blooms which are slightly bigger than the average cabbage rose. The leaves of an instance of SCP-5112 are dark green with black hues on most of its leaves, which appear to look like inkblots or faded letters from the Latin alphabet. SCP-5112 bushes are reported to blossom daily at around 07:30, generating around 20 to 25 instances of SCP-5112-A each. The petals on each instance of SCP-5112-A are composed of a paper-like material, which is inscribed with text in the Latin alphabet matching various headlines of news publications. If the containment procedures aren't met within three hours, any instance of SCP-5112-A will wilt and therefore, expire, before blossoming again at 07:30 the next day. The inscribed headlines are found not to originate from any past or current news publications. Rather, it is currently believed that all headlines originate from various future points in time, and may include references to anomalies which are currently uncontained. Extensive readings through SCP-5112-A instanced declared to have factual accuracy of 65%.1 Addendum: Another observed property of SCP-5112 is the ability to predict obituaries of people stung by the thorns of SCP-5112 blossoms. If any sentient subject was pricked by the thorns of SCP-5112-A, any instance of SCP-5112-A will wilt and regenerate into a palette-flipped rose, hereby designated as SCP-5112-B. SCP-5112-B will then show an obituary of the subject pricked by SCP-5112-A, describing the future time of death, and how they will die. The accuracy of the obituary, like the headlines, is always 65% correct. If the accuracy was found to be correct, any attempt at preventing anything SCP-5112-B described from happening is found completely useless. To recognize a correct obituary from an incorrect one, a slight difference in writing is to be noticed, with the factually incorrect obituary usually bearing grammatically incorrect typos or misprinted letters. Unlike the headlines, the obituary is reported to come from a single newspaper called "The Black Rose Post". No periodical with that name is reported to exist as of recently, even though it is not excluded that a publication bearing the same name will appear sometime in the future. Discovery: The six instances of SCP-5112 were discovered outside the local newspaper’s building in the city of Pavia, Italy on 21/06/19██ by Field Agent ████████ ██████. The local newspaper was reported to be the first to report news that, otherwise, would not be known. Most of the time, however, the newspaper always reported factually incorrect pieces of information based on the headlines alone, without going in-depth and usually deviating from the headline. Incident Log I-5112-21: On 07/01/2011, Junior Researcher Dr. Arthur Tennyson fed SCP-5112-3 with fertilizer including industry-standard magenta printing ink as a mistake due to mismanagement into the compositing of the fertilizer itself. It resulted in dangerous, cognitohazardous lettering appearing in the leaves for around 2 days, which condemned the plant to be burned for the safety of the researchers. The researcher was found unconscious to the ground, experiencing symptoms of an epileptic seizure. Dr. Tennyson recovered from the incident three days later, reporting a fractured humerus and several headaches. Along with that, Dr. Tennyson reported having developed a brain injury from the cognitohazard, resulting in recurrent epileptic seizures. Assistant Researcher Tóth was assigned to Tennyson for health reasons and given the status of Level 3 personnel following the incident. Incident Report I-5112-23. -ACCESS GRANTED On date 09/03/2011 Dr. Tennyson, while on his shift to maintain SCP-5112, accidentally got pricked by a thorn of a specimen of SCP-5112-A. The following is a summary of the video surveillance footage from Camera 06 and Camera 19, respectively located in the Greenhouse and the Infirmary in Block-98. VIDEO LOG DATE: 09/03/2011 NOTE: The footage shows Dr. Tennyson during the incident along with Assistant Researcher Tóth. [BEGIN LOG] 0:00 Dr. Tennyson enters the room with proper equipment for the daily SCP-5112-A harvest and maintenance of SCP-5112. Basic garden equipment, fertilizer, and water are brought by Assistant Researcher Tóth in a cart. 0:20 The researcher picks up an instance of SCP-5112-A from SCP-5112-4, while Assistant Researcher Tóth cleans up the surroundings of the greenhouse. 0:21 SCP-5112-A’s thorn stem pricks Tennyson, the researcher let SCP-5112-A go, falling into the ground. 0:23 SCP-5112-A wilts and a new blossom grows from the stem in a matter of nanoseconds 0:25 The reblossomed instance of SCP-5112-A, now known as SCP-5112-B, appears to differ from other specimens by the coloration of the blossom. 0:27 Tennyson opens the unknown variation of SCP-5112-A, to read the content that is written. 0:32 The researcher appears confused from the reading, jumping from curiosity to fear. 0:35 Tennyson is seen rushing out of the greenhouse, leaving SCP-5112-B on the floor. Assistant Researcher Tóth tries to stop him, encountering failure. 0:40 Running as fast as possible, Tennyson rushes to the infirmary, leaving nearby security officers Jurkiewicz and ███████ confused on the rush. Assistant Researcher Tóth exits the greenhouse, following the researcher. 1:25 Tennyson opens the infirmary door, trying to find the medical cabinet. Assistant Researcher Tóth follows him inside and tries to help Dr. Tennyson. 1:59 Before opening the medical cabinet, Tennyson collapses on the ground with spasms, suffering a fatal epileptic seizure. During the seizure, the cabinet falls to the ground, hitting Assistant Researcher Tóth in the process and knocking him out. 2:35 Infirmary physician Dr. ██████ enters the infirmary, finding the body of Dr. Tennyson, an unconscious Assistant Researcher Tóth, and the medical cabinet on the ground, along with the content of the cabinet. Dr. Tennyson was pronounced dead minutes later, after an attempt to revive him. [END LOG] After the incident, SCP-5112-B was collected and inspected. Unlike the other instances of SCP-5112-A, SCP-5112-B contained an obituary dated 09/03/2011. According to the obituary, Dr. Tennyson died of complications suffered from the previously reported incident, which resulted in heavy epileptic seizures. The obituary included the same dynamics found on the Security Camera footage and included the location of death. An autopsy executed on the researcher was performed, confirming the obituary claims. Further inspection of the body, however, reported various organs, including the heart, the liver, the kidneys, and the stomach were found completely decayed and not belonging to the age group of Dr. Tennyson. Analysis of the organs resulted in belonging to █████ Blaha, a Czech citizen who died during the 1968 Spring Revolution. It is unknown if the organs were a result of the cognitohazard or another anomaly previously experienced by Dr. Tennyson. The obituary, along with the description of Tennyson's death, featured a short poem, reciting: Roses are Red, Violets are alone; Tennyson’s organs are gone And he's dead. Pricked by a thorn, Is like he was never born; Found on the floor Dying like a poor. -Termo Arente Footnotes 1. SCP-4110-1b was referenced three days before the official containment date under the headline “Dinosaur Kid Destroys Minnesota" from the Duluth News Tribune, dated October 31, 199█. Mobile Task Force Epsilon-6 "Village idiots" were deployed with prior knowledge of the anomalous item being worn by a kid. |
SCP-5113 | esoteric-class | Despite the ridiculous title, this story is a little bittersweet at the end. Hug your pets. You'll miss them when they're gone. Special thanks to Yossi, Prometheus, Nico, and Hawkguyy for looking at this before I posted.

Item #: SCP-5113 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5113-1 is to be kept in a mid-sized sentient-entity containment cell in section E of floor 27 at Site-88. SCP-5113-1 is to be allotted a minimum of 2 hours of supervised outdoor exercise per day. The SCP-5113 project lead has the authority to deviate from this scheduling in case of unexpected events. Any such deviations must be reported to the Ethics Committee. Furthermore, the SCP-5113 project lead has the authority to requisition any entertainment necessary to ensure SCP-5113-1's mental stability is maintained. A GPS tracking chip has been installed into SCP-5113-1 due to several escape attempts. SCP-5113-1's future escape attempts are to be tracked and catalogued. Description: SCP-5113-1 is an orange domestic house cat (Felis catus) capable of vocal communications. SCP-5113-1 possesses a personality and intelligence similar to that of an adult human. SCP-5113-1 claims to possess an ability to communicate with other members of the Felis catus species. However, testing has shown that SCP-5113-1 is no more capable of this than a baseline human. SCP-5113-1's vocalizations originate spontaneously from a location directly above its larynx. SCP-5113-1 is additionally capable of utilizing its larynx to generate sounds which one would normally expect from an animal of its size and species. SCP-5113-1 possesses several other non-standard anatomical traits, though they do not affect its health or normal function. These traits include situs inversus totalis1 and a lack of a spleen, stomach, or gall bladder. MRI and x-ray scans show an absence of material in the location where one would expect a brain, though the surrounding tissue are still physically supported as though it were present. SCP-5113-2 was a domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) of the Great Dane breed that was in Foundation custody from March 8th, 2012 to January 25th, 2020. Apart from its species and size, SCP-5113-2's anomalous nature and anatomical abnormalities were identical to that of SCP-5113-1. For more information, see previous iterations of this document. SCP-5113-1 and -2 were obtained via purchase from Marshall, Carter, and Dark2 on March 8th, 2012. The two objects were already familiar with each other at the time of their purchase. After consulting with contacts in Wilson's Wildlife Solutions3, it was determined (as they were both juveniles at the time) that they would be raised and socialized together to help ensure mental stability for both entities. + SCP-5113-1 Incident Log The following is a short list and summary of SCP-5113-1's escape attempts. Incidents 1-5: SCP-5113-1 attempted to attack its handler during exercise time and climb the chain link fence surrounding the exercise yard. None of these attempts were successful in escaping the enclosure, however. SCP-5113 was embedded with a GPS tracking chip following the second escape attempt. Incident 6: SCP-5113-1 escaped the control of its handler. It then dug a hole under the fence enclosure and escaped the exercise yard. SCP-5113-1 was then trapped in the secondary enclosure surrounding the first, and was recovered with minimal injury to Foundation staff. Incident 7-9: SCP-5113-1 was able to escape inside Site-88. While it was unable to leave the facility, it was able to avoid re-containment for 4, 7, and 23 days, respectively. Due to the site's EM shielding, SCP-5113's tracking chip was not of assistance during recovery. Incident 10-12: SCP-5113-1 escaped the facility through unknown means. The entity was tracked down within 3 days through GPS tracking during each incident. Incident 13: SCP-5113-1 escaped the facility through unknown means and physically removed the tracking chip under its skin. SCP-5113-2 was able to provide useful information on SCP-5113-1's location, however, and the entity was recaptured. + Incident 5113-1-13 Surveillance Records SCP-5113-1 was reintroduced to its shared containment cell with SCP-5113-2 following Incident 5113-1-13. The following is a log of that interaction. SCP-5113-1: You fucking traitorous motherfucking dog! SCP-5113-1 briefly attempts to attack SCP-5113-2 at this point. SCP-5113-2 moves around the room during this interaction to avoid SCP-5113-1. SCP-5113-2: I don't know what happened! SCP-5113-1: What happened? I heard someone coming and thought it was you! But no. It was these assholes again! SCP-5113-2: Maybe they heard you talking about it in the yard, Em4. SCP-5113-1: Don't do that. I know you. You told them. SCP-5113-2: I'm sorry! SCP-5113-1: No, you're not, Woofy5. You'd do anything to help the humans. SCP-5113-2: No. Em. SCP-5113-1: You sold your only friend out for a pat on the head. SCP-5113-2: You left me! SCP-5113-1: I did what? SCP-5113-2: You left! You left me alone. The entities pause their conversation for approximately 9 seconds. Both relax their body language considerably. SCP-5113-1: The whole point of the meetup spot was for you to meet me there, dummy. SCP-5113-2: How? Em, I'm too big to get out of here. SCP-5113-1: You are not. You gotta wait for your moment, is all. SCP-5113-2: No. I was gonna be alone. SCP-5113-2 climbs down from the counter and lays down next to the chamber's television. SCP-5113-1: Woofy, you are so fucking dumb sometimes. If you didn't make it out I'd have come back for you. SCP-5113-2: No, you wouldn't've. SCP-5113-1: Yes, I… SCP-5113-2: No! I know you. You would've thought about it, but then something else would've distracted you and you'd never get around to it. And then I'm stuck here forever. SCP-5113-1 joins SCP-5113-2 next to the television. SCP-5113-1: Move over, you big dumb dog. SCP-5113-2: Are you still mad at me? SCP-5113-1: Yeah, I am. But American Ninja Warrior is on and we're gonna watch humans pretend to be cats. SCP-5113-2: Okay. The two entities then fall asleep over the next hour. No further escape attempts have been attempted since this incident. It is unknown if this is due to a change in behavior on SCP-5113-1's part, or a further refinement of escape planning. Regardless, increased surveillance is recommended. + Excerpt of SCP-5113-2 Records In January of 2020, it became evident that SCP-5113-2 was reaching the end of its natural lifespan. It was decided that it would be allowed to expire naturally, and its cohabitation with SCP-5113-1 was to be maintained during this process. The following is the last recorded conversation between the two entities. SCP-5113-2: Hey, Em? SCP-5113-1: Yeah? SCP-5113-2: Em, I think it's time. SCP-5113-1: Okay. You need anything? SCP-5113-2: Turn on the TV? SCP-5113-1 utilizes the activation switch for the provided television. SCP-5113-2: What's on? SCP-5113-1: People pretending to be cats. SCP-5113-2: That's good. You like that one. You think there's a show about cats pretending to be humans? SCP-5113-1: Probably. Cats can do anything. SCP-5113-2: Yeah. Do you think I'll go to the people place when I die? SCP-5113-1: I don't think so. I don't think they go anywhere either. SCP-5113-2: Oh. SCP-5113-1: Sorry. I mean. I think what matters is what we're doing right now, you know? SCP-5113-2: Like watching TV? SCP-5113-1: Sure. For me it was being the best cat I could be. It can be something like that if you want. There is a pause for several minutes at this point. SCP-5113-2: Was I the best dog I could be, Em? SCP-5113-1: Hell no. You're a terrible dog. But you were, like, my best friend, Woof. SCP-5113-2: That's nice. The two are silent for an additional 47 minutes before SCP-5113-2 speaks again. SCP-5113-2: I thought there'd be more, Em. These were the last words spoken by SCP-5113-2. The body was later removed and autopsied. The cranial void was no longer present, though other anatomical irregularities remained. In the place of the cranial void was a non-anomalous canine brain. Further testing is underway. + SCP-5113 Related Communication We at Wilson's Wildlife Solutions were saddened by the news of Woofer's loss. Any loss of life comes with great sadness, but especially when you have friends who miss you. Recently, however, we recovered something that might interest you. A Harlequin Great Dane puppy that was born on the same day that Woofer passed. It possesses all the anatomical irregularities present in other 5113 animals. It cannot speak, but it cries similarly to a human newborn. We believe it needs to be socialized with similar animals, and believe it would be appropriate to leave it in Foundation care. Expect him the day after tomorrow at latest. Best regards, Faeowynn Wilson. Footnotes 1. A mirroring of its internal organs from their normal positions. 2. GOI-012. 3. GOI-466. 4.

SCP-5114 | safe | NOTICE FROM THE RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION The contents of the following file have been deliberately rejected as an official Foundation document by the O5 Council. Despite this, this file contains entirely accurate and up-to-date information on SCP-5114, and should be utilized as a reference for the containment of the anomaly described therein. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. 2/5114 LEVEL 2/5114 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-5114 SCP-5114 prior to retrieval. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5114 is to be kept in a standard containment chamber. Except with the explicit permission from two (2) level 5 personnel, no personnel are to come in physical contact with SCP-5114. Should a person be subject to an Isidore event, their previous legal standing is to be ascertained by scouting non-legally binding documents, as well as through witness testimony. The Foundation is to, via front companies, provide legal assistance to civilian subjects of Isidore events to deter publicity. Legally binding documents affected by SCP-5114 are to be covertly edited to restore subject's previous legal standing, and all non-Foundation personnel subjected to or having witnessed the results of an Isidore event are to be amnesticized. Update 03/09/2012: Following Incident-5114-1, SCP-5114 has been tentatively relocated to outdoors containment. In the event that SCP-5114 must be relocated, Site-132 is to maintain two D-class personnel whose personal records and official documentation can be fully traced at all times. A single legally binding document containing the description of SCP-5114 is to be maintained for the purpose of receiving communications from SCP-5114. To prevent tampering, all other files containing information about SCP-5114 must be unofficial, non-legally binding documents. Description: SCP-5114 is a concrete sculpture standing at 2.3 meters. SCP-5114 is sapient, but immobile and incapable of vocalization. SCP-5114 has so far displayed no motivations besides self-preservation. Though inert when not physically interacted with, SCP-5114 presents a volatile bureaucratic hazard towards any attempts at relocating or damaging it. The activation of this anomalous property is hereafter referred to as an Isidore Event. The legally binding1 documentation and demographic statistics of individuals targeted by Isidore events are subject to arbitrary modifications, typically to inflammatory and financially damaging ends. Modifications created during Isidore events remain internally consistent in all official documentation. These changes include but are not limited to: Having one's name legally changed Having one's address legally changed Having one's employment legally changed Losing one's citizenship Having one's marriage revoked Being registered as wed to an arbitrary individual, irrespective of gender, sexual preference, age or local laws regarding these parameters Losing the legal custody of one or several of one's children Being registered as a sex offender Receiving excessive amounts of frivolous lawsuits Receiving debilitating amounts of debt Being registered as a wanted criminal Being branded as a member of one or several prominent criminal organizations Being registered as legally dead Furthermore, it is hypothesized that SCP-5114 is capable of viewing the contents of any and all legally binding or official documents. However, this has not been affirmed through testing. The extent of information available to SCP-5114 is unknown. As SCP-5114 can only affect these types of documentation, the effects of Isidore events can be mitigated through covert and thorough retrieval and editing of subject's documents. However, Isidore events are often socially and financially devastating to affected subjects. This often necessitates therapy and grief counseling, as well as legal assistance. Recovery: SCP-5114 was recovered from Laguna Beach, California, wherein it manifested onto the Main Laguna Beach overnight between the dates of 11/25/2010 and 11/26/2010. SCP-5114 was originally mistaken for a local pop-up-art exhibit by the general populace. The Foundation became aware of SCP-5114 after the item was connected to various acts of juridical vandalism. SCP-5114 was relocated without incident, and eventually airlifted to the nearby Site-132. Afterwards, all five Foundation personnel directly responsible for relocating SCP-51142 had become the subjects of Isidore events. Most notable changes were: Agent Cahlry's name had been legally changed to a string of Full Blocks3 in excess of 10,000 characters long, rendering all documentation containing it illegible. Agent Ibiza was registered as an illegal immigrant from Mare Tranquillitatis, located on the Moon. Their birth year was changed to 10 BCE, and they were registered as being wed to King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. Agent Ibiza was also discovered to have been accepted as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Agent Frohike's name was changed to "John Frohike '); DROP TABLE Residents;--", leading to multiple database corruptions. Their place of residence was changed to Samarkaland, Uzbekistan, and they were branded as the current de facto leader of the terror organization Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. Containment Specialist Harvenstein was officially elected as the Bishop of Rome. He was legally declared dead, and his supposed estate was filed for bankruptcy. Containment Specialist Ulrich's name was officially changed to 'Phatt tha Rappah', her birth date was changed to 'your mom', her stated race was changed to 'ugly', and she was listed as a practicing pastafarianist. In addition, all personnel mentioned had received an excess of 200 lawsuits between them, and had several high-interest loans taken out in their names. Restorations to documentation concerning both civilians and Foundation personnel were conducted, and all exposed civilians were successfully amnesticized. Testing of SCP-5114 was deemed exceedingly laborious as well as hazardous to informational security, and thus given low priority. As of January 2012, SCP-5114's anomalous properties have only been observed during initial recovery. Addendum 5114-Alpha: Incident 5114-1 On March 4th 2012, SCP-5114's documentation underwent standard screening procedures, at which point it was discovered to have been tampered with. Containment personnel had neglected to take into consideration that SCP-5114 is in physical contact with itself, and is thus capable of instigating an Isidore event on its official containment file.4 The following is a list of revisions of SCP-5114's documentation during Incident 5114-1. All formatting and spelling has been retained as is. Revision 01 - March 4th 2012: hey. can you move me outside or something? i'd really like some fresh air. This was interpreted as a ruse to inflict further Isidore events upon Foundation personnel, or possibly as an attempted containment breach. The possibility of SCP-5114's sapience had not previously come under consideration, as SCP-5114 had not previously attempted to communicate. Dr. Ahlry, responsible for SCP-5114's containment, originally deliberated that no response should be given to SCP-5114, as knowledge of two-way communication might complicate its containment. Revision 02 - March 5th 2012: sorry we got off on the wrong foot. i just really wanna stay safe, you know? this room's the best thing yet, and i appreciate it i really do, but i can't stay here. please move me away. Revision 03 - March 7th 2012: i'm really, really sorry. really. as funny as it was, i didn't wanna fuck up those people's files, i was scared and stressed, 'kay?, that happens when you're scared - you do stupid things. things you end up regretting afterwards. please move me outside, and i promise with every bit of aggregate in me that i won't mess up anything. Revision 04 - March 8th 2012, 08:21: okay i get it, you wanna play hardball. fine. let's say i make myself useful to you. how about those chaos insurgency guys, huh? you want some names and addresses? i can get you names and addresses. i'll trade you… twelve contact informations for you to move me outside. how's about it? I'll give you one for free to prove i ain't fooling. SCP-5114 proceeded to list the name and then-current address of POI-14017, later positively identified as a Chaos Insurgency operative. Personnel with appropriate clearance may refer to Document 5114-Alpha for further information. Revision 05 - March 8th 2012, 14:49: okay okay, i'll come clean. i haven't been totally honest with you, but you gotta listen to me please. i've been digging through some stuff, and i'm pretty sure there's gonna be an earthquake here in a few days. based on the layout of this place, i'm also pretty damn sure it's not earthquake-proof. which means i need to get a move on. and conesquently [sic] that's not something i can do. i get this sinking feeling every time there's any kinda vibrations. somebody's been using a jackhammer two floors above me, and it's killing my nerves.5 i beg of you. i'll even up the ante, how about it? twelve chaos insurgency guys and… ten anartists! i can find you that many in the socal area alone, don't even need to cross no state lines. pleeeeease [sic] At this point, Foundation intelligence operations had affirmed that POI-14017 was a real person living at the provided address, and likely had connections with the Chaos Insurgency. SCP-5114's demands for outdoors containment were taken into serious consideration. SCP-5114's stated concerns about the structural integrity of Site-132 were considered to be unfounded. Extensive installations of tuned mass dampers6 were commissioned at Site-132 in 2007, due to its location near the San Andreas fault line. It was decided that SCP-5114 should not be informed of this fact. Revision 06 - March 8th 2012, 20:06: okay! here's my final offering, and i really mean final offering 'cause i swear that i can already feel the foreshocks. one HUNDRED insurgents, twenty-five anartists and a fiftish [sic] child trafficking operation masquerading as a youth camp. PLUS, you'll get six mystery person's of interest, all of them aat [sic] keneq-priority or higher, guaranteed! puh-leaaaaaaase! [sic] i don't wanna die in here! dump me onto the yard and let the birds crap all over me, i don't care just LET ME OUT! While Foundation seismologists at this time had not detected any foreshocks, the possibility of an earthquake could not be discounted. In addition, due to a considerable likelihood of attaining valuable strategic information, urgent preparations were being made to transport SCP-5114 into outdoors containment. Within two and a half hours of revision 06, the Department of Informational Analytics was able to secure all legal documents concerning two D-class personnel to be used in the relocation of SCP-5114. With these safety measures taken, the Director of Site-132, along with the Regional Director of West Coast USA, approved of relocating SCP-5114. Revision 07 - March 8th 2012, 22:30:537: thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou [40 identical lines omitted] SCP-5114 was relocated onto the inner courtyard of Site-132 underneath a makeshift dome constructed of poultry netting. No personnel involved in the relocation underwent an Isidore event. At 02:05 on March 9th, Site-132 experienced a 3.2 Richter earthquake. As expected, no structural damage was sustained. After further purview it was discovered that due to an embezzlement by a since-retired Foundation employee, internal legal authorization for the 2007 installations of tuned mass dampers was never acquired. This is hypothesized to have precluded SCP-5114 from viewing the documentations concerning it. Final revision - March 9th 2012, 06:23: okay so, i may have promised a thing or two yesterday. in my defense, i gotta say that i was panicking, and needed leverage. i don't really have that many names and addresses to tell you. the one that i did give you was happenstance. turns out, anomalous criminals don't usually leave a paper trail. that Fifthist summer camp is real too, but i don't think they're actually even doing any kiddy diddling. once again: sorry. The document was appended with a list of six individuals, all of whom were later apprehended using the information provided. Four were discovered to be operatives of the Chaos Insurgency, one was a member of Are We Cool Yet?, and another was a former defected Foundation employee. Also included was the location of a Fifthist money laundering operation in Michigan. However, due to its non-anomalous nature, the Foundation elected to not interfere. Due to the possibility of further movement leading to Isidore events, it was decided that SCP-5114 is to tentatively remain in outdoors containment. Footnotes 1.

Agent Cahlry working as a crane operator, Agent Ibiza working as a truck driver, Agent Frohike working as a pilot, Containment specialist Harvenstein and Containment Specialist Ulrich. 3.

SCP-5115 | thaumiel | Item #: SCP-5115 Clearance Level: 5115/5 Special Containment Procedures: Full information on SCP-5115 is stored in the Site-01 SOUL existentially secure database. Application of the anomaly for Project HYPOSTAT-2 is underway. Description: SCP-5115 is an artificial method of inducing intangibility. Instructions are as follows: Placement of a sapient subject within a 4m2 square perimeter, etched into the ground with Planck-scale precision. Inscription of the subject's true name1 at the forwards boundary of the perimeter, relative to the subject's orientation. Impacting the perimeter three times with a crowbar of standard construction. Placement of a computer terminal precisely 0.69914208m from the forwards boundary. Installation of [REDACTED — O5 CLEARANCE REQUIRED.] Erasure of the subject's notion of gravity, relative to themselves.2 Erasure of the subject's notion of solidity, relative to themselves.3 Erasure of the subject's notion of bodily trauma, relative to themselves.4 Manual operation of the computer terminal to [REDACTED — ADMINISTRATIVE CLEARANCE REQUIRED.] Destruction of the computer terminal. Any means are deemed appropriate. On completion of SCP-5115, subjects are rendered completely intangible to all surroundings, with their positions relative to the Earth's frame of reference. Movement and rotation can be performed through the cognition of said actions. Maximum obtainable velocity is limited, being based on what the subject views as within realistic movement speeds for themselves. Physical interaction can only be performed with other materials made intangible through SCP-5115. As intangibility applies to contact with substances necessary for vital function, primarily atmospheric gas, human subjects tend to suffocate within five to seven minutes. Addendum.5115.1: Project HYPOSTAT-1 Project HYPOSTAT-1 was an effort by the Foundation to overhaul the structure of Administrative Site-01. The project started on 31/08/2███, beginning with a Foundation-wide alert to all Site Directors to operate under independent action protocols until central command is reinstated. Adminstrator O6.gaia5 was then, under unanimous O5 Council vote, shut down. The machine's central core was extracted and supplied to SCP-890-EX, who performed a successful dissection without damaging its internals. Following provided instructions, they extricated a sample of [REDACTED]. All 13 detected neural signatures within the sample matched expected profiles. As cognition is independent of [REDACTED]'s physical location, the central core was reinstalled and O6.gaia was reactivated. Efforts switched to physically restructuring Administrative Site-01, relinking all faculties to direct O6.gaia control. Addition of new wiring and the removal of older control systems lasted until 02/12/2███. Final restructuring commenced on 01/01/3███. At this point all unnecessary personnel were vacated from the facility. [DATA SEALED] Credentials verified. Displaying pointer log. Pointer Outcome Administrative Site-01 Became inside. O5 Council Went inside. Breathability Went inside. O5 Council Became inside. Senescence Inside. Senescence Inside. Senescence Inside. SCP-3154 Went inside. Subjective reality Went inside. SCP-500-∞ Went inside. Senescence Outside. Panoptical vision Went inside. Absolute humanity Went inside. Observer-relative divinity Went inside. O6.gaia Inside. Overwatch Command verified the completion of restructuring the following day. On 03/01/3███, Overwatch Command performed SCP-5115 on [REDACTED]. O6.gaia, the O5 Council, and Administrative Site-01 were collectively rendered intangible. The collective Site-01, henceforth Throne Site-01, is currently maneuvering through the upper terrestrial mantle on a course to the inner core. On arrival, Throne Site-01 will begin the mass monitoring of all regions of the planet and the surrounding extraterrestrial space, notifying Foundation sites on all anomalous phenomena observable on Earth. Project HYPOSTAT-2 is being initiated as a means to attach additional structures to Throne Site-01; this includes but is not limited to mobile containment strongholds, global weapons systems, third eyes, and wings. The inclusion of defensive measures is considered unnecessary — Throne Site 01 cannot be damaged through any physical or metaphysical means. Protections against existential threats have already been secured. Throne Site-01's operational expectancy is considered indefinite. OVERWATCH COMMAND NOTICE At 03:49 on 10/03/3███, during remote conference with the assembled Foundation Site Directors' Board, Throne Site-01, without prompting, began to question the anomalous sequences binding its components. Particularly, Throne Site-01 claimed a disconnect existed between the metaphysical binding for the fused O5/O6.gaia and the performance of SCP-5115, which, by the usage of [REDACTED], should apply solely to O6.gaia, not the Council. It also believed that the steps taken with [DATA SEALED] implied that a failure of SCP-5115 to affect the Council must also, by metaphysical association, affect O6.gaia. Contact with Throne Site-01 was immediately lost. Attempts were made to locate the facility through astral and pretercognitive means, but no traces of its presence could be found. Currently, it is the working belief of Overwatch Command that the doubts experienced by Throne Site-01 connected to the [DATA SEALED]-included concept of subjective reality, converting any faults from being perceived to being factual. This triggered a complete metaphysical destabilization in the facility's structure. It is presumed that, at the moment contact was lost, the O5 Council, O6.gaia, and Site-01 disconnected from each other. Owing to environmental conditions in the upper mantle, the whole of Throne Site-01 was then incinerated. Project HYPOSTAT-2 has been postponed indefinitely. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5116 | safe | Item #: SCP-5116 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5116 instances are to be contained in a warehouse in Site-49. Individual desks and chairs are to be arranged in a 5x5 grid pattern, with SCP-5116 placed upon them. Personnel are not permitted to make contact with either SCP-5116 or SCP-5116-A instances within the period between 12-6 AM local time. Living individuals corresponding to SCP-5116-A instances are to be monitored at all times for aberrant behavior and signifiers of demonic possession, to be immediately exorcised and contained upon the manifestation of such behavior. Houses affected by SCP-5116-B are to be purchased and maintained under the guise of renovation. Abernathy Heat Sinks are to be installed in affected basements. In the event that entities escape SCP-5116-B, the nearest site is to immediately deploy MTF-א ("Gideon's Trumpet"), a regiment of field-trained exorcists. Description: SCP-5116 is a collection of 25 24 vintage Atari 2600 video game consoles and CRT television sets, running the 1978 game Space Invaders. SCP-5116 are unable to be powered down, and possess hexagrams and other occult symbols etched on the interior of the consoles' casings for unknown reasons. Personnel are unable to play SCP-5116, with instances displaying the words "PLEASE INSERT ONE (1) COIN TO BEGIN", despite no method of inserting coins into SCP-5116 existing. Personnel who attempt to interact with either SCP-5116 or SCP-5116-A after midnight are attacked by a legion of Type-Yod Tartarean entities1, which demanifest upon the subject leaving the immediate vicinity. Photo of gameplay. Every midnight, twenty-five humanoid entities designated SCP-5116-A, manifest at the controls of the SCP-5116 instances. These instances resemble the semi-finalists in the 1980 Atari Space Invaders Championship. SCP-5116-A are almost entirely incorporeal, but can manipulate the inputs of SCP-5116. Entities appear completely unaware of their surroundings, and do not respond to attempted communication. If an SCP-5116-A instance reaches a fail-state on its SCP-5116 instance the SCP-5116-A instance will demanifest, to reappear the following night. SCP-5116 noticeably differs from nonanomalous instances of Space Invaders in terms of gameplay and artstyle. Hostile sprites have additional features, which appear to be accessory horns or talons. Rather than orderly descending in rows from the top of the screen, the sprites' movement is random, descending the display in differing speeds and patterns. The protective bunkers are also absent, leaving nothing between the entities and player character, whose sprite is replaced by two perpendicular lines of differing length. There are no levels or noticeable escalation in difficulty, though as enemy sprites constantly spawn, lapses in concentration from SCP-5116-A quickly lead to fail-states. SCP-5116-B is a extradimensional shaft of unknown depth located underneath San Diego, California. SCP-5116-B is only accessible through its entrances, the largest being within the basement of Dan "Wolf" Dunn, the former CEO of Arcadia, with smaller shafts being found within the residencies of employees also within San Diego2. SCP-5116-B constantly produces large amounts of heat, and a bright light can be seen at the bottom of the shaft. Situated approximately 100 meters deep within the shaft, there is a small platform constructed of plywood and two-by-four lumber. On the platform is a collection of objects, some of which possess anomalous properties. A aspersorium and aspergillum3, which is consistently replenished every ten minutes. A wooden rosary, possessing a Saint Peter's Cross. When clasped in an individual's hands, the cross can emit short beams of high-frequency radiation. A King James Bible. A 1979 issue of Playboy. A broken lawn chair. A SCP-5116-A instance. The exact identity of the instance is obscured by heat haze. At irregular intervals, several dozen Type-Dalet Faustian-Class Tartarean entities will begin ascending the shaft, dispelled by the resident SCP-5116-A instance using the holy water and rosary. Usage of automated exorcists is not recommended, as previous attempts have resulted in the rendering of several contracts between the Foundation and GOIs anomalously null and void. Photo captured of SCP-5116-23's display. Addendum 5116.1: On March 15th, 2003, SCP-5116-A-23 broke the high score, continuing to play for a further ten minutes. Following the next fail-state, SCP-5116-A-23 briefly raised its arms in celebration, and bent over in pain, flickering in and out of existence, finally demanifesting. SCP-5116-23 briefly displayed unique text, before violently shaking and spontaneously combusting. Within SCP-5116-B, the resident SCP-5116-A froze in position and demanifested, with SCP-5116-A-23 appearing in its place. Footnotes 1. Lacking sapience, agency, and corporeality. Often bound to objects as guardians. 2. Many of these residencies had been vacant for several years, with Dunn's house in particular having not been in use since his death in 19██. 3. Container of holy water, and associated sprinkler. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5116" by Anorrack, from the SCP Wiki.

For more by me, check out the Greyve Page! 91.97% (+206) 8.03% (-18) -% (+0) -% (-0) Item#: 5117 Level4 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: danger link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5117 is to be stored in a reinforced high-security locker. Contact with SCP-5117 by any sapient entity, humanoid or otherwise, is strictly prohibited. Access is to be restricted to individuals with explicit authorization from Site Director Calloway. Description: SCP-5117 is a pair of matching rose gold wedding bands. When two individuals wearing the rings are in physical contact, the individuals become capable of influencing reality to the same degree as a Class IV reality bender, provided both individuals express agreement with proposed changes or express similar desires. SCP-5117-1 was Noah Pierson, the first known individual to utilize SCP-5117's anomaly. SCP-5117-1 was neutralized on 9/25/2016. SCP-5117-2 was Maria Pierson, an unintended secondary user of SCP-5117's anomaly. SCP-5117-2 expired on 9/24/2016 of natural causes and was briefly reanimated via SCP-5117's anomaly before reverting to a deceased state during containment (see Addendum 5117-2).

Personnel should review the following file for additional information: 5117debrief.log Close Debrief Recording Transcript Date: 10-2-2016 In Attendance: Dr. James Olson Researcher Alexander Cora [BEGIN LOG] Olson: For the record, please identify yourself. Cora: Senior Containment Engineer Alexander Robert Cora. Olson: Alright. How did do you know SCP-5117-1? Cora: Please, his name is Noah. Olson: My apologies. How did you come to know Noah? (Cora smiles sadly.) Cora: Childhood friend. Olson: Well, then, tell me about your childhood. (Cora pauses and takes a deep breath.) Cora: Grew up in a charming little town. Parents died before I could remember, and I lived with my uncle, who was gone all the time. I had lots of time on my hands, but nobody to spend it with. (Cora chuckles.) Cora: I was…odd. Friends were hard to come by, what with my strange interests. Or I guess, interest in the strange. Most of my time was spent inside, reading books, or on my computer…probably isn’t much of a surprise to you. I've never been a "social butterfly". But Noah was there for me. Cora: Noah was always nice. Quiet. Timid, maybe. Friendly but not social. Lonely kid. Pretty normal-seeming, but he was a good person, which is more than a lot of people have to their name. Cora: Can’t remember exactly how we got on so well. I think it might be that I used to help him with schoolwork, or something. Anyways, both of us were interested in the anomalous. Of course, almost all of the stuff we looked into wasn’t real. But that didn’t stop our obsession. Olson: I see. So this is what led you to join the Foundation, when you were recruited out of ██████████ University? Cora: To an extent, yeah. I mean, just getting in was a challenge all to its own. Olson: And how was your relationship with Noah during your university years? Cora: Well, when I went to ██████████, Noah ended up sticking around town, opening an electronics shop. Yeah, we kept in touch, but I only get to see him every so often on leave. And then, in this line of work…well, you know. (Cora snorts.) Cora: I did make it to his wedding a few years back. Director got pissed because my replacement fucked things up, and that caused a breach. The big one, last December. Olson: I do remember that one. Cora: Yeah. Fucked me right up. Still get nightmares over that. Do we have to talk about that? Olson: No, not at all. Would you say that you and Noah were close? Cora: That’s a real understatement, if I’ve ever heard one. We were like brothers. Only guy keeping me from being completely alone. 'Course, the job doesn't really help. I almost feel as confined in my job as the skips. (Cora looks downward.) Olson: Did you ever disclose any classified information to Noah? Cora: Not really, no. Most I’ve ever done is change around names and tell him I work with stuff I’m not allowed to talk about. He thinks I work for like, FBI, or something. But it doesn’t matter now. He's dead. Olson: I see. How did Noah impact your work here? (Cora faces Olson.) Cora: Sorry? Olson: How did Noah affect your performance here, at the Foundation? (Cora shrugs.) Cora: Only positively, no doubt. He and I would talk late into the night after a rough day. Matter of fact, I’ve probably only stuck around this long because…well, I thought of myself as protecting people like Noah, on the outside. So that they can carry on, “live in the light.” (Cora pauses.) Cora: We both know what I've done, Olson. I figured it would be a worthy sacrifice…my life, my conscience, for the sake of humanity. Cora: I suppose it’s not really the same now, though, is it? I guess…I guess if a good man like him, a civilian, can become nothing more than…another anomaly…to be contained, with as much thought as anyone else… Cora: The procedures I've developed…now I can’t help but remind myself that every single one of them, from ████ to ████…they were all human. At least a little. For fuck’s sake, ████ was a goddamn child when I locked her up. (Cora swallows.) Cora: Look, if anything, please. For the love of…I don't even know. Humanity, I guess. Remember that everyone you contain is at least a little bit human. That's all I ask, after all that I've done. I gave you those text logs to remember that Noah was a fucking human being. (Olson nods.) Olson: Understood. I'll do my best to get those in the file. Cora: Thank you. (Olson reviews the incident report.) Olson: Now…the records say that you performed actions to prevent the Foundation from discovering Noah’s anomalous effects. Cora: Is that a question? Olson: So you’re not defending yourself? You realize that your actions will be perceived as neglect of Foundation protocol? How many infractions you'll get? Cora: I thought I could keep him from…getting to that point. I know him, you know? He would have listened to me. If I had gotten to him first, we might have settled it over lunch and moved on. Olson: Yet you violated procedures. (Cora seethes.) Cora: Procedures this, procedures that. Procedures to keep a little girl from her mother? Procedures to kill my best friend? Procedures is everything I’ve done for the past six years, Olson! I lost my humanity to build fucking procedures. (Cora points at Olson, as if accusing him.) Cora: Those procedures put him down. None of this would have happened if they’d have left me to deal with Noah, instead of shooting me in the fucking leg. (Cora slams the table.) Cora: I could've saved him. I could've, if only… (Cora breaks down in tears.) Cora: (Sobbing) If only…I hadn’t left him alone. [END LOG] Note: Cora obviously has immense emotional attachment to SCP-5117. Whether or not he’s going to continue working at the Foundation — and with sapient anomalies, no less — amnestication seems the only proper course of action. - Dr. Olson Addendum 5117-1: Recovered Communication Transcripts The following communication records were recovered from Senior Containment Engineer Alexander Cora’s personal smartphone.

Sparing the details, the number of casualties was nearly three digits. No doubt a traumatic experience. If I recall correctly, Cora was absent few days before the ordeal, and his substitute royally fucked up one of the auxiliary systems. I can understand why Cora would ask for this file to be included. - Dr. Olson Cora: Hey Noah SCP-5117-1: wassup Cora: There was a huge fuck-up at work today Cora: I was partly to blame, I guess.

Cora claims to have directed SCP-5117-1 to not utilize his anomalous effects further. SCP-5117-1 was compliant for a period. During this time, Cora utilized his position to remove local Kant counter records for the month of February. - Dr. Olson SCP-5117-1: hey I havent talked with u in a while SCP-5117-1: Alex?

Addendum 5117-2: Containment Audio/Video Transcript The following consists of transcriptions of audio and video recorded via MTF ε-12 (“Greenguard”) personnel equipment during initial containment of SCP-5117. Descriptions vary between each operative, so a cohesive report includes notes on various reality distortions. ▼ Containment Audio/Video Transcript ▲ Close Containment Audio/Video Transcript Date: 9/25/2016 Assigned MTF: MTF ε-12 (“Greenguard”) ε-12 Lead Fraser ε-12-2 Muñoz ε-12-7 Chen [BEGIN LOG] ε-12 Lead Fraser: Recorder's on. Mic check. ε-12-2 Muñoz: Check. ε-12–7 Chen: Check. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Alright. Command, you hear us? Site Command: Loud and clear. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Okay. You guys know the drill. Weapons at the ready. Locate and incapacitate the subject immediately. ε-12-2 Muñoz: Tranquilizer or lethal? ε-12 Lead Fraser: Command? Site Command: To your best judgement. Of course, minimize civilian casualties. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Copy that. Remember, surprise is your only advantage against Type Greens. Small towns like this, I'm thinking we run Trident. ε-12-7 Chen: Trident? I'm not sure I copy, Fraser. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Forgot you weren't with us at North Ridge, Chen. We split up, Muñoz takes the rear while I flank left and you flank right. ε-12-2 Muñoz: (Scoffs) Do you newbies not get taught the protocol anymore? ε-12-7 Chen: I'm sorry, what's your Type Green kill count again? ε-12-2 Muñoz: If you're so proud of your kills counts, feel free to go back to your damn GOC. ε-12-7 Chen: It's not about the GOC, it's about having more experience. ε-12-2 Muñoz: Too bad you don't got much experience with women then, yeah? ε-12 Lead Fraser: Both of you, shut the fuck up. Time and place. ε-12-2 Muñoz: Roger that. ε-12-7 Chen: Yessir. (Team progresses through the empty town on foot. Units split up and take separate directions approaching target entity.) (ε-12-2 Muñoz checks her Kant counter and notices the reading increasing steadily.) ε-12-2 Muñoz: Hey, think I'm getting closer. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Any idea where it's at? ε-12-2 Muñoz: My Humes are at- ε-12 Lead Fraser: Not Humes, dammit. Target location. ε-12-2 Muñoz: Yeah. Pinging location now. (ε-12-2 Muñoz transmits her location to ε-12 Lead Fraser.) ε-12 Lead Fraser: Got it. Heading over. Locate a back door to the house if you can. ε-12-2 Muñoz: God, this Type Green must be really out of it. (ε-12-2 Muñoz is standing in front of a small, suburban house. Trees in front of the house are stretching and contorting upwards as far as vision extends, and the ground is pulsating in waves. The house itself is a shifting mass, with the roof folding into itself in impossible ways while the bricks continually rearrange and restructure themselves.) (ε-12-2 Muñoz approaches the house, but the distance increases every step she takes.) ε-12-2 Muñoz: Spatial distortion, Fraser. Permission to deploy SRAs? ε-12 Lead Fraser: Granted. No entering target location, though. Wait for us. (ε-12-2 Muñoz begins positioning mobile Scranton Reality Anchors along the perimeter of the target location and activates them sequentially.) (ε-12-7 Chen notices an unidentified figure at the back door of the target location) ε-12-7 Chen: Hey, I think I see a third party at target location. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Fuck. GOC? Insurgency? (ε-12-7 Chen utilizes helmet optical zoom to focus on the figure.) ε-12-7 Chen: Doesn't look like it. Think it's civilian. ε-12 Lead Fraser: You're closest to them? ε-12-7 Chen: Yessir. (Unidentified figure enters target location.) ε-12-7 Chen: Third party has entered the building. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Eyes on ’em yet? ε-12-7 Chen: Yeah, I think so. Male, seems to be in his early 30s. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Copy that. You’re cleared to approach. ε-12-7 Chen: Roger that. (ε-12-7 Chen approaches the individual with his firearm aimed at the individual's head.) ε-12-7 Chen: Freeze! (Unidentified individual turns to face ε-12-7 Chen and puts both hands in the air.) Unidentified Individual: Oh god, MTF already? ε-12-7 Chen: On behalf of the- Unidentified Individual: SCP Foundation, yeah. I'm Foundation, too. Senior Containment Engineer Alexander Cora. Please, I really need to get to Noah…that's his name, Noah Pierson. ε-12-7 Chen: Can you show some identification? Cora: Yeah, let me get my ID. (Cora keeps one hand in the air while removing what appears to be a Foundation ID card from his pocket.) ε-12-7 Chen: Command, you getting this? Site Command: Individual positively identifies as Foundation personnel, Senior Containment Engineer Alexander Cora, clearance level 3. ε-12-7 Chen: Got it. Cora, then? Cora: That's right. Can I go? ε-12-7 Chen: Hold on. Why are you here? Cora: Long story. I know Noah. I'm trying to help. ε-12-7 Chen: You realize you don't have sufficient clearance to even be here without post-operational amnestication? Cora: I know that, but I'm already here, right? Look, I need to get in, right now. It's a matter of urgency. ε-12-7 Chen: You are not cleared to enter, Cora. Far as we're concerned, you're basically civilian. Cora: I know him personally, maybe I can try talking- ε-12-7 Chen: Negative. Talking to Type Greens is a no-go. Cora: It's not him, I don't think. He hasn't always had this going on- ε-12-7 Chen: Type Greens manifest anomalous attributes at different points. Trust me, I've seen this dozens of times. Cora: And so have I. But…look, you don't get it. Please, let me talk to him- ε-12-7 Chen: We have our orders, Cora. I will not hesitate to fire should you attempt to breach protocol. (Cora pauses for a moment. A voice similar to an echo can be heard throughout the environment, appearing to emanate from the house.) Unidentified Voice: Alex? (A sudden reality shift absorbs Cora into the house, and rotates the entire structure.) ε-12-7 Chen: What- ε-12-2 Muñoz: Did you guys hear that? ε-12 Lead Fraser: Yeah, I did. Alex is the third party? ε-12-7 Chen: Yessir. He just…ah…got sucked into the house. Front door is no longer accessible. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Fuck. Hey Muñoz, how long 'til the anchors are up? ε-12-2 Muñoz: Just a sec. Ah, shit, Humes are dropping again… (ε-12 Lead Fraser checks his Kant counter, which displays a Hume level below 50 and continuing to decrease.) ε-12 Lead Fraser: Hurry the fuck up! Any longer and there won't be a reality to anchor! (ε-12-2 Muñoz rapidly activates the last mobile Scranton Reality Anchor.) ε-12-2 Muñoz: All secured, we can proceed. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Copy that. Chen, get a move on! ε-12-7 Chen: I'm heading around to the back door, Fraser. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Alright. Proceed. (Team proceeds to enter the target destination. The lights are off, certain objects in the room appear heavily distorted, and spatial consistency appears almost liquid. Portions of the room appear to unevenly possess particularly high reality fragmentation. The floor appears to flow in a liquid state.) ε-12-2 Muñoz: Damn…it's like Dalí painting or something in here. ε-12-7 Chen: Whole floor’s melting. ε-12 Lead Fraser: How y'all faring? Headache yet? ε-12-7 Chen: I think…actually…gimme a sec… (ε-12-7 Chen checks his Kant counter, and notes that its value appears to fluctuate between extremes based on his physical orientation in the room.) Cora: Noah? Noah, where are you? (Cora appears through a hallway on the inverse side of the walls, and walks toward a wall, which parts to allow him to enter, before closing behind him.) ε-12-7 Chen: That's Cora. Unidentified Voice: are you here nowAlex? Cora: I'm here, Noah. I wasn't here when you needed me, I wasn't here when I was supposed to be, but I'm here now. Unidentified Voice: you left me aloneAlex? Cora: I'm sorry. I really am. (Local Hume decreases, and a flare of unidentified radiation emanates from the walls of the house. Shifting floorboards begin to splinter, and wall plaster appears to boil.) ε-12-7 Chen: Cora's pissing off the Green. ε-12 Lead Fraser: Maybe. But we need to find it first. You think that's where Cora's going? (Cora re-emerges through a shifting painting, and the room appears to fold extra-spatially before manifesting through a window.) ε-12 Lead Fraser: There he is. (Team rapidly approach Cora, and traverse extra-spatial gaps between floorboards. The roof appears to compress, forcing the space below to stretch.) (Team emerges in a large, static bedroom. Cora stands at the foot of a bed and looks up toward a seemingly endless ceiling.) ε-12 Lead Fraser: What… Cora: (Shouting) You were always there for me. I…I wasn't here when you needed me. My work, my…no. No excuses. I'm here now, Noah. I'm here. The world is still out there. This reality inside your head…it isn't real. Unidentified Voice: what does it matter what is real I have Maria here I have her and I need her and I can have her here and you do not matter because you were not there but Maria was and I wanted to be there for Maria but I could not and now I canAlex? Cora: Maria's gone, Noah. Just a memory…a fragment of a memory. Please. Unidentified Voice: you know nothing I know you more than you do me I was always there for you and I will be here for MariaAlex? Cora: Is that really what you want? To live, live in this…twisted… Unidentified Voice: I do not want her to leave I do not want to leave I do not want I do not I doAlex? Cora: This isn't real. Not to me. Wouldn't be real for her, either. If you can't let go…I can't stay locked in here with you. If you can't let go of her…you're letting go of me. Unidentified Voice: you can not leave me I am lonely all I am is loneliness and I know you know lonely because you are lonely and loneliness is all I amAlex? Cora: I can't stay here, in your lonely reality. The ghost of Maria…hollow idol of my…Noah. (The room pulses, and the walls fold and crushes itself. A ceiling materializes and folds downward as SCP-5117-1 descends, holding onto a lifeless female figure floating behind him. Clasping the female figure's hand, which is adorned with a glowing rose gold ring, he reaches out towards Cora.) Cora: Goodbye, Noah. SCP-5117-1: you abandoned me you left me to suffer in loneliness you were my friend you are lonely too I am lonely so very lonely I amAlex? (Cora turns back around, and walks towards the edge of the room. The distance between him and the door expands, and a force pushes him backwards, but Cora continues to trudge towards the door, and then begins climbing up to the door as the room undergoes a reality shift. Suddenly, the room inverts and Cora begins falling away from the door, but he is able to invert himself and walk towards the door along the ceiling.) (A brief reality stabilization allows the team to remanifest.) ε-12 Lead Fraser: Hey. Hey. Hey, Muñoz, Chen? ε-12-2 Muñoz: What? Where did…when? SCP-5117-1: stop Alex stopAlex? (ε-12 Lead Fraser turns to find ε-12-7 Chen on the opposite side of the room, in a dazed trance. Chen is aiming his rifle towards Cora.) ε-12 Lead Fraser: No, what the - fuck! (ε-12-7 Chen fires at Cora, who immediately collapses and falls to the center of the room.) SCP-5117-1: Alex? (The female figure's ring stops glowing as SCP-5117-1 lets go, falling several meters to the floor. A loud cracking noise is audible. SCP-5117-1 exclaims in pain, and then pushes himself up and stumbles towards Cora. Reality returns to a baseline state, appearing to be absorbed by the ring.) SCP-5117-1: Alex! No, Alex…wake up. Please, Alex! (SCP-5117-1 shakes Cora's still body, and holds tightly to Cora's head. Cora is bleeding out from his upper thigh.) ε-12 Lead Fraser: Chen, what the fuck? (SCP-5117-1 turns to look around the room and notices ε-12 Lead Fraser and ε-12-2 Muñoz. ε-12-7 Chen comes to his senses and staggers back towards the wall.) SCP-5117-1: You took him from me? All that was left of reality? What do I have now, nothing! Nothing at all! (SCP-5117-1 begins weeping.) SCP-5117-1: Lonely, all I am… (SCP-5117-1 screams and begins to stand up.) (ε-12-7 Chen instinctively terminates SCP-5117-1 with a single round to SCP-5117-1's left temple.) (Silence.) ε-12-2 Muñoz: Fuck, Chen. ε-12-7 Chen: I just- ε-12 Lead Fraser: Forget it. Pack up, and let's go. Command, confirming containment of anomaly, send in the cleanup crew. Site Command: Roger that. Good work, guys.

As a personal note, just one of your infractions could have had significant repercussions. Not to mention, you’re an expert in containment of sapient anomalies. Of all people, you should know better. I can't in good faith waive your consequences. You could have taken out the Kant grid for all of California. And who knows what would have happened if the breach got worse. I'm sure both of us understand the severity of your actions. But I still appreciate the good work you have done here, with the Foundation. You were one of the best and brightest in the entire division. You may not have been proud of what you did, but that didn’t stop you from understanding how important it was to do it. The procedures you have developed kept the outside world safe, and that is what matters. I just hope you understand that what happened to Noah, happened for the greater good. Best wishes, A. Calloway Site Director P.S. Your request to include samples of personal correspondence has been granted. Humanity is what we are fighting to protect.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5118 is kept in a canine containment chamber on Site-65, furnished with a pet bed and a chew toy.1 SCP-5118 is given a constant supply of fresh water and three meals per day consisting of dry kibble. Interaction with SCP-5118 is strictly limited to testing purposes. Description: SCP-5118 is a Class I Reality Bender. SCP-5118 has demonstrated the ability to manifest and demanifest objects at will, as well as alter its own physiology. SCP-5118 currently resembles an adult Golden Retriever. SCP-5118 Containment Log Close Containment Log On 08/18/2019, MTF Gate-1 ("Umpires") was dispatched to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, disguised as citizens following several reports describing suspected alterations to reality. MTF Gate-1 was equipped with remote video and audio equipment for communication with Dr. Williams back at Site-65. [Extraneous conversations removed.] MTF-Alpha: Alright, we're here. What exactly are we looking for again? Dr. Williams: Reality disturbances. From the most recent report we've intercepted, it sounds like we're dealing with a Class I. MTF-Alpha: Any visual description or location? Dr. Williams: Last known location was near Hyde Park. A young adult male humanoid. Probably still is if it hasn't gotten the hang of things yet. MTF-Alpha: Alright, let's head over there. The MTF travels by foot towards Hyde Park. Several groups of civilians are seen loitering around the area. MTF-Gamma: It's gonna be a hard one to sp- MTF-Alpha: Pause. MTF-Alpha points towards a bench a few hundred yards away. A young adult male is sitting on the bench and eating a chocolate bar from the wrapper. MTF-Beta: What? I don't see anything. The male on the bench finishes his chocolate bar, crumples the wrapper in one hand, and demanifests it. MTF-Beta: Well, shit. Confirming visual of target. Dr. Williams: Copy. Do not engage yet. Follow the protocol. MTF-Alpha: Got it. Beta, go left. Gamma, take the right. Establish a visual perimeter. The MTF splits off in separate directions, surrounding SCP-5118 at a distance. During the maneuver, SCP-5118 manifests a object resembling a small vine of grapes and bites into one before cursing and demanifesting the object. MTF-Gamma: No way… Did you guys see that? MTF-Beta: The plastic fruit? Yeah. MTF-Gamma: That was… weird. SCP-5118 manifests a bottle of Dazza's brand cola but struggles to untwist the cap. The subject demanifests the cap along with the top half of the bottle, spilling the beverage on itself before taking a sip. MTF-Alpha: Class I confirmed. Dr. Williams: Please proceed. MTF-Alpha motions to the other task force members, and the three of them begin to move towards SCP-5118. The subject briefly looks up and notices MTF-Alpha walking towards it. The subject glances behind itself, notices the other two agents heading in its direction and proceeds to flee. MTF-Alpha: It's noticed us. Go, go, go! The three MTF members give chase. SCP-5118 quickly stops, turns around, and holds one of its hands out. A short brick wall suddenly manifests in front of the subject, though it topples over before SCP-5118 starts running again. MTF-Beta: Watch the debris, go around it! The agents easily overcome the pile of bricks and continue chasing SCP-5118. As it flees, it points towards a large tree and pulls its arm back. The tree shakes and some loose leaves fall, but nothing else occurs. MTF-Gamma: Did it just try to-? MTF-Alpha: Keep running! Don't lose it! The agents begin closing the distance between themselves and SCP-5118. The subject looks back panically and swipes its arm perpendicular to the agents. A strong gust of wind suddenly knocks down MTF-Beta, but also SCP-5118. MTF-Alpha: Now! Quick! MTF-Alpha and MTF-Gamma move full-sprint towards the subject as it tries to regain its footing. SCP-5118 tries crawling away from the agents and, as it does, metamorphoses into its current form. Rather than continuing to flee, however, the subject instead ran towards the agents and displayed behavior identical to that of a baseline domesticated dog.2 SCP-5118 was contained without any further incidents and transferred to Site-65. SCP-5118 Reclassification Hide Reclassification On 09/17/2019, several attempts were made to coax SCP-5118 back into a humanoid form so that communication may be established with it. Method of Coaxing Procedure Results Verbal Prompting Dr. Williams spoke to SCP-5118 through the loudspeaker of its chamber and asked it to "change back into a human so that we can talk". Upon hearing Dr. Williams on the loudspeaker, the subject perked its ears and tail upwards. SCP-5118 began sniffing the floor of the chamber in an attempt to find the source of the voice. Audio Stimulation A single tone of 37,000 Hz was played through the loudspeaker. SCP-5118 began howling loudly. The tone was turned off after approximately a minute, and SCP-5118 exhibited no further changes in behavior. Physical Stimulation A 1500-volt shock collar was placed on the subject and activated at the discretion of Dr. Williams. SCP-5118 was shocked once. The subject vocalized a yelp and ran to the opposite side of the room with its tail between its legs. Foundation Intervention A Scranton Reality Anchor was set up beneath SCP-5118's chamber. Upon activation, SCP-5118 did not react whatsoever. Following the above tests, several brain-imaging scans were performed on SCP-5118, including a CT and MRI. The results displayed no abnormalities from the brain of a regular baseline Golden Retriever. It is currently believed that during its encounter with MTF Gate-1, SCP-5118 altered its own psychology to that of a baseline dog due to its inexperience with its anomalous abilities. As a result, SCP-5118 is pending reclassification to "Neutralized". Footnotes 1. To be rotated bi-weekly with a new one. 2. This included SCP-5118 licking the agents and wagging its tail.

SCP-5119 | keter | by J Dune The interior of SCP-5119 Item #: SCP-5119 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of the anomaly, containment of SCP-5119 is presently unfeasible. Law enforcement channels, social media, and internet message boards are to be monitored for individuals recalling SCP-5119 related events. Subjects who have accessed SCP-5119 are to be interviewed and amnesticized upon identification. Presently, all information within this document has been obtained from accounts of individuals who have accessed SCP-5119. A Foundation-led exploration of SCP-5119 has not yet been conducted. UPDATE (2020/10/12): Further information regarding SCP-5119 has been obtained following an incursion into the anomaly. See addenda for details. An updated description of SCP-5119 remains pending. Description: SCP-5119 is "Uncle Charlie's Toys and Games", an extradimensional location accessible only to individuals that possess a number of shared attributes A manifestation of SCP-5119 may only occur if an individual: Is above the age of 25 Perceives their childhood as an overall negative period of their life Has suffered forms of domestic or emotional abuse in their childhood Was forced to develop the maturity typically befitting of an adult during their childhood. Had few extra-familial relationships with other children Was raised by guardians unrelated by blood Experienced or witnessed the death of a family member as a child Experiences difficulty in recalling childhood memories. The means by which SCP-5119 makes itself known are personalized to its target; however, a general pattern between all accounts of SCP-5119 manifestation has been established. The subject targeted by SCP-5119 will be made aware of the anomaly through a variety of modalities, including television commercials, web-based advertisements, newspaper ads, and appearances in dreams. These advertisements will increase in frequency in an attempt to coerce the subject into traveling to SCP-5119. These materials are memetically self-obscuring, appearing as ordinary advertisements for unrelated businesses when viewed by those other than the targeted individual. A recreation of a SCP-5119 advertisement, illustrated by Researcher Rowan Raster SCP-5119 advertisements often feature the store's mascot — 'Uncle Charlie' — which has been designated as SCP-5119-A. SCP-5119-A is a rotund, horned humanoid with hairless, red skin, dressed in a black-and-white striped suit and top hat. Illustrations on advertisements for SCP-5119 portray SCP-5119-A as a jovial character, playing with toys or outstretching its hand towards the reader in an invitational manner. SCP-5119 will manifest in a location nearby the residence of the subject and will provide precise directions towards the manifestation on all of its advertisements. These directions are nonsensical, but, if followed correctly, will allow anyone matching the selection criteria to access SCP-5119. The exterior of the anomaly resembles a conventional storefront and is only accessible to individuals fitting its criteria. Attempts to access the location while others were present have resulted in the anomaly failing to manifest. The interior of SCP-5119 is far larger than its exterior; however, accurate measurements have thus far not been recorded due to limited exploration possibilities. SCP-5119's interior resembles a dilapidated toy store that has experienced heavy fire-damage. Products found inside of the anomaly are entirely unique to SCP-5119 and appear to be mass-produced; they all bear the names of unidentified companies, pieces of media, and intellectual properties. However, apart from their physical existence and source, products recovered from SCP-5119 have not demonstrated any anomalous effects and can be compared to ordinary toys in function and design. While inside SCP-5119, individuals will demonstrate ecstatic and childish behavior, such as playing with products for extended periods of time or singing juvenile songs to themselves. Following time spent in SCP-5119, the targeted individual will be subject to a form of retrograde amnesia, where the majority of memories from before the individual's 18th birthday become completely lost. The exact process by which this occurs is unknown. All subjects have recalled feeling drawn towards a large wooden door within the anomaly before waking up hours later in the same location outside of the store, where SCP-5119 will have disappeared. Subjects will be unable to recall events that occurred following seeing the door. There have been no recorded instances of an individual accessing SCP-5119 twice. Addendum.5119.1: Exploration Log On 2020/10/08, Lee Boletto — resident of Lancaster, Pennsylvania — reported to law enforcement that she felt unsafe because of the frequent amount of SCP-5119-related advertisements she was beginning to see. Through necessary channels, Foundation personnel were notified and dispatched to Boletto's location. As this would be the first opportunity for the Foundation to directly research SCP-5119, Lee Boletto was promptly conscripted into the Foundation's internal command structure as a D-Class personnel, under the designation D-680. ► Access File: Exploration Log 5119-1 ▼ Close EXPLORATION LOG 5119-1 DATE: 2020/10/12 ASSIGNED PERSONNEL: D-680 NOTES: First incursion into SCP-5119. One D-Class personnel (D-680) was equipped with recording equipment, a two-way radio, and a standard extraspatial exploration kit. The following instructions, lifted directly from advertising materials appearing to D-680, were enacted in order to gain access to SCP-5119: Put a green Jolly Rancher in your mouth (Make sure to keep it there!) Drive down the dirt road directly off of Wallheim for 15 minutes (Don't turn back!) Smile When you feel it in your legs, turn left D-680 was instructed to follow these directions. While driving on an unmarked road, D-680 reported feeling a burning sensation in her lower body and turned the vehicle left, successfully accessing SCP-5119. D-680 was then instructed to enter SCP-5119 while maintaining communication with Area-179. <BEGIN LOG> D-680 enters SCP-5119. Subject examines the debris and damaged toys spread across the foyer. A large sign featuring SCP-5119-A and the text 'WELCOME' hangs from the ceiling. CONTROL: Proceed. D-680 continues forward, then walks down an aisle located on her immediate left. D-680: A lot of this stuff looks burned. There a fire or something? CONTROL: We're unsure. Please continue forward. D-680 shrugs before picking up a product to examine it - a board game in a space-themed box. Several armored characters are illustrated on the cover. The game's logo reads 'HIVE: THE COSMIC CHRONICLE'. A sticker promoting a TV show apparently based on the game is situated in the box's corner, encouraging viewers to watch it on 'Animation Network'. D-680: Animation Network? D-680 puts the game down and picks up a 'CARLY' doll, whose packaging resembles that of a Barbie doll. D-680: So these are bootlegs, yeah? CONTROL: We don't know. D-680: (Sighs) Okay. D-680 continues to explore SCP-5119, walking aimlessly around the store. Subject stops in front of a counter. A broken cash register sits atop it. CONTROL: D-680, how are you feeling? D-680: (Pauses) Fine, I guess? This place… I don't know. I've only been in a traditional toy store once. Years back, on vacation in Jersey. Small little shop, but it looked like this. Didn't sell weird toys or show up in my dreams or anything, but I always wished I had a place like this as a kid. CONTROL: Are there any irregularities in your condition? D-680: Hm? No. No, I'm just… slightly nostalgic. I never really got toys as a kid. I feel strange here as an adult, but it's a warm feeling — not a wrong one. Like, uh, like I stepped back in someone else's time. CONTROL: Please proceed. D-680 moves forward in silence for 10 minutes. Subject begins to giggle, and slightly increase the pace of their walking. CONTROL: Respond, D-680. D-680: It's nothing. (Laughs) This place is just charming. CONTROL: D-680, can you recall a memory from your early childhood? D-680: Um, I guess. Why? CONTROL: Please do so. It can be anything, but we would prefer to hear as much detail as possible. D-680: God, uh, I have to think of a good one first (Laughs). I guess my first grade teacher — Mr. Surcherk. He helped me out with reading, like a lot. On tests and stuff. He knew how things were at my house and — and he would pull me out at recess for tutoring. He made sure I wouldn't fall behind or anything. I remember he threw a party for the whole class and went out of his way to buy, uh, to buy food that I could eat. My allergies and all. That was the only year I've ever enjoyed school. For 7 hours a day, I could just lose myself and, um, I could just lose myself and take my mind off things. Yeah. That work? CONTROL: (Pauses) Please continue forward. D-680 begins moving towards a large, stuffed giraffe. The toy is significantly damaged, and is missing its head. D-680: (Laughs) That's so cute! D-680 climbs atop the stuffed animal's back, and pretends to ride it, laughing. CONTROL: D-680, please remove yourself from the object. D-680: What do you mean? How could you not want to ride this thing? (Laughs) I'm surprised it supports me. D-680 coughs, and beats her chest. Subject removes herself from the giraffe and continues forward. CONTROL: Are you feeling unwell? D-680: No, I'm fine. Something in my throat, is all. (Coughs) D-680 continues in silence for five minutes, occasionally coughing and laughing to herself. Subject comes to a spinning product rack, filled with lollipops. Most of the candy is rotted or blackened. D-680: This place is huge! It didn't look this big from out there. Oh, candy! CONTROL: Do not consume the candy, D-680. D-680: (Laughs) Please? (Coughs) CONTROL: We're unsure of the effects it may have on you. Please do not consume anything without express permission. Apparently having lost interest, D-680 skips over to a large, purple bouncing ball located in the distance. D-680: (Sings) Super big store! It's so big! Why did they build it? He likes to watch! CONTROL: D-680 — D-680 begins bouncing on the ball. CONTROL: D-680, please — D-680: (Sings) Just keep playing! In the big store! He's found you! In the big store! CONTROL: Lee Josephine Boletto. D-680 stops. D-680: What? CONTROL: D-680, can you repeat the words to the song you were singing? D-680: What do you mean? I wasn't — (Coughs) D-680 falls to the floor and begins coughing heavily for 20 seconds. Subject spits up mucus with black discoloration. D-680: Oh God. (Coughs) Subject picks themselves up. As their recording equipment focuses, a small, wooden door is seen on the wall directly in front of D-680. D-680: Can I go in there? CONTROL: (Pauses) You may not. D-680 approaches the door. CONTROL: D-680, do not enter that door. Failure to comply will result in termination. D-680: (Softly) He's found you. In the big store. What's behind the wooden door? D-680 opens the door. Complete darkness lies ahead. Subject crouches to fit in the door, and enters the room. A voice is heard from across the tunnel. SCP-5119-A: Close the door, honey. D-680 closes the door. An orange glow suddenly fills the tunnel, revealing a spacious, empty room at the end of its length. The subject proceeds, revealing a massive entity, resembling SCP-5119-A from the advertisements, situated in the center of the room. The entity is bloated and unclothed. Its fingers are long and distended compared to the rest of its body. A viscous solution resembling the mucus D-680 coughed up is smeared on the room's walls, floor, and the body of SCP-5119-A. D-680 pauses and begins breathing heavily. D-680: What the hell — SCP-5119-A: I'm not gonna hurt you. No, not at all. D-680 turns around, only to find that the tunnel she came through has disappeared, replaced by walling. D-680: Angela? Yo, guys?1 SCP-5119-A: Don't worry about them, Lee. D-680: How do you know my name? How — SCP-5119-A: (Laughs) I'm your Uncle Charlie, I have to know. And the closer you get, the more I learn. Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes. You're exactly who I built this place for. D-680: What are you? SCP-5119-A: A friend. You don't have a lot of those, don't you Lee? You learned that friendship can only go so far at an early age, right? D-680: You have no idea what you're talking about. SCP-5119-A: You've never been much of a good friend, Lee. You had a responsibility, being Jason's older sister. You think about how things might've been different if you just… stepped… in. D-680: (Tearing Up) You don't… you don't understand. SCP-5119-A: Honey, I do. I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about understanding. (Laughs) I understand regret, my child. You regret every day. You regret every night. You regret… all the time. SCP-5119-A extends its hand. D-680 flinches as the entity picks her up and caresses her between its lengthy fingers. D-680: What do you want from me? Please, just let me go. SCP-5119-A: I apologize for the discomfort. This process, I like to see just what I'm getting myself into before I… get myself into it. SCP-5119-A continues to feel D-680's back. The entity pokes her in the stomach. SCP-5119-A: Oh, yes. You'll do just fine. All this trauma, all this regret. To suffer so much at such a young age, yes. If I was more like you, I'd feel sorry for you. But I look to the future, Lee. I want you to be free of this pain. Let me take on your burdens, all of them. So heavy, so horrible. SCP-5119-A suddenly shoves a finger into D-680's mouth. Subject chokes on the digit as the entity reaches further into her throat. SCP-5119-A: It's heavy. It's heavy! (Laughs) The entity removes its finger, which is covered in the black substance. D-680 regurgitates large clumps of the substance into SCP-5119-A's hand for several minutes. SCP-5119-A: Get it all out for me. You're going to be fine. SCP-5119-A places D-680 back on the floor. The entity lifts its hand to its mouth, and begins consuming the black substance. SCP-5119-A: Delicious. D-680: W— Why was that inside me? SCP-5119-A: Because the world is cruel, honey. A loud, banging noise is heard coming from a trapdoor near SCP-5119-A. The entity smiles. D-680: What's down there? SCP-5119-A: Pay it no mind. The noise gets louder. The trapdoor begins to shake, as if something is attempting to break it from underneath. SCP-5119-A: Oh, you should leave. The entity touches the top of D-680's head. D-680 falls to the floor, suddenly appearing in a wooded location, located near the road the subject used to access SCP-5119. <END LOG> Addendum.5119.2: Interview Log Immediately following exploration, subject was returned to Area-179 and promptly interviewed. ► Access File: D-680 Interview ▼ Close AUDIO LOG DATE: 2020/10/12 <BEGIN LOG> Researcher Starse enters the room. Subject is sitting at a table, drinking from a cup of water. Researcher Starse: Lee? D-680: What's up? Researcher Starse: I'm going to talk to you now. This is going on record. Is that okay? D-680: It's fine. Researcher Starse: Good… can you give me a recollection of the testing you partook in? From a few hours ago. D-680: Burned down toy store. Followed weird instructions. Um, well, you saw the footage. I walked around and… Researcher Starse: And? D-680: I'm sorry, I can't… I walked around for awhile and then I woke up in the woods. Researcher Starse: Do you remember a door? D-680: A door? Silence. D-680: No, no I don't. Researcher Starse: Thanks, Lee. Now, I'm going to ask a few personal questions. If you're uncomfortable at any time, we can stop, alright? Subject nods. Researcher Starse: How would you describe your childhood? D-680: (Laughs) I don't know. Researcher Starse: Pardon? D-680: What do you mean? I don't remember my childhood. It's all gone. Researcher Starse: (Pause) Does this distress you? D-680: Why would it? Researcher Starse: Alright. Lee, where did you grow up? What was your childhood home like? D-680: Uh… our house. It was (Pauses) it was in Lancaster. Outside the city. There was a field. That's where you guys picked me up, right? Or, wait, no, that's my house. The house I've been living in for the past decade. I don't know. Does it matter? Starse writes on her clipboard. D-680: (Laughs) Can I go back? Researcher Starse: Go back where? D-680: To the store. I want to go back. Researcher Starse: Have you ever had any siblings, Lee? D-680: (Pauses) No. I've never had any siblings. Researcher Starse: Who is Jason Boletto? D-680: My… cousin? I don't know. I have a large extended family. Jason's probably my mom's side. I wouldn't know, since we, uh, we don't really talk. Aside from my Uncle Charlie. (Laughs) Silence. Researcher Starse: Who? D-680: My uncle. Mom's side. We've always been close, and he helped me through a lot of rough patches before. His memories are the only ones I bother to keep with me. Research Starse: Can you detail some of those memories for me, Lee? D-680: I can't remember. Silence. D-680 begins to show visible signs of distress and agitation. Subject tears up, and eventually begins crying, placing her head in her hands. Subject slams her head into the table and loudly sobs. Seconds later, D-680 has completely recollected herself and smiles. Researcher Starse makes a motion to the observing camera feed to end the interview. <END LOG> Footnotes 1. While the viewing feed remained accessible to the Foundation, Control was unable to communicate with the subject from this point onward. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5119" by J Dune, from the SCP Wiki.

More by Vivarium BY ORDER OF THE OVERSEER COUNCIL The following file is Level 4/5120 Secret Unauthorized access is forbidden. 5120 Item#: 5120 Level4 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: notice link to memo Artistic representation of SCP-5120 Satillite image of Diplomatic Site ✖ The approximate location of SCP-5120 ✖ Special Containment Procedures: The town of Malmantile is designated as a diplomatic site to facilitate research into SCP-5120. According to the Treaty of Fidelis Roma, research personnel are welcome to enter SCP-5120, but will not be permitted to leave. All communication by personnel from SCP-5120 is to be sent through secure channels to the diplomatic site. The Treaty of Fidelis Roma is no longer in effect. Attempts are currently being made to reinstate the treaty, in order to resume research of SCP-5120 Description: SCP-5120 is an ancient city named Fidelis Roma. SCP-5120 was founded sometime between 337 and 361 AC, and has remained isolated until its discovery in 2004. It is distinctly Roman in origin but lacks influence from the Abrahamic faiths. SCP-5120 has a small population compared to its size, leading to the majority of houses being unoccupied. A notable land mark of SCP-5120 is the Grand Library, where documents previously thought lost to time can be found. 40% of SCP-5120 is buried underneath the undecomposed corpse of an anomalous organism, 5 km in length, similar to Canis lupus italicus designated SCP-5120-1. SCP-5120-1 produces a perception filter, directing the attention of an observer away from the area, measuring approximately 7 kilometers in diameter from the center of the city. Once an individual is made aware of the perception filter, it loses efficacy and the individual can perceive SCP-5120 normally. Addendum.5120.1: Discovery of SCP-5120 occurred due to a raid of a church of the Broken God. The only notable recovered objects are 3 separate letters sent between the church and a place known as Fidelis Roma. The following documents have been translated from the original Latin ▶MTF Recovery Log 568943371.01◀ ▷CLOSE◁ Document of items obtained by MTF 4365 03/12/2004 During a raid on a hostile chapter of the Church of the Broken God, Foundation personnel discovered three documents written in Latin that were of notable interest. They appear to be communication between the Church of the Broken God and an unknown second party. Reviewing surveillance tapes from before the raid identified an individual working as a courier between the Church of the Broken God and the unknown party. The Foundation has begun an investigation into the origin of these documents. Transcribed below are the translated documents. Document#568943371.01 We are the people of Fidelis Roma. Though we have been enemies in the past, we now ask for aid. We are willing to pay in gold by the weight of the supplies. We await your response. Document#568943371.02 We are willing to provide help; however, we request to know where you are as well as the right to search your city for parts of our god of which you may claim ownership of. We patiently wait for news from the Faithful of Rome. Document#568943371.03 We the people of Fidelis Roma have discussed your proposal, and we have decided to decline your offer. The artifacts of Fidelis Roma shall stay with us. We will have to seek assistance from elsewhere. We pray to the gods to bring you good luck. Note: Using the collected data to ascertain the identity of the courier and make contact, the Foundation was able to state negotiating terms for diplomatic relations. In exchange for supplies and aid, Fidelis Roma will be willing to allow vetted personal whom they approve to be allowed to learn the location of SCP-5120. ▷CLOSE◁ Addendum.5120.2: The following logs are the recovered research of Dr. Horne. the logs have been cut short due to the Treaty of Fidelis Roma being dismantled. ▶Interview Logs Conducted by Dr. Horne◀ ▷CLOSE◁ Study of SCP-5120 The following are the recovered interview logs acquired by Dr. Horne during her time in SCP-5120 for reference and research provided by various Foundation Personnel. Information was gathered and translated via secure channels Interviewed: The Flamen Volturnalis Interviewer: Dr. Horne Location: Outside the Temple of Volturnus. <Begin Log> [ Dr. Horne is standing with Flamen Volturnalis outside the temple overlooking a river. The sun has just begun to rise. ] Dr. Horne: Thank you for allowing me to ask you some questions. Flamen Volturnalis: It is my pleasure. You are one of us now, a true Roman as we say. I will answer any questions that may plague you. [ The Flame puts a hand on Dr. Horne's shoulder. ] Flamen Volturnalis: By the way, your Latin is very good. Dr. Horne: Thank you, I am still getting used to speaking Latin, but I appreciate you saying that. [ Dr. Horne smiles. ] Dr. Horne: Okay, to start things off, I would like you to tell me about yourself. [ The Flame pushes his chest out and holds his fist to his chest. ] Flamen Volturnalis: I am The Flamen Volturnalis, a member of the sub-council who decides on laws. As well as a judge in all matters of Fidelis Roma. [ The Flame starts to gesture as he talks. ] Flamen Volturnalis: The priest of Volturnus, god of all rivers, as well as a member of the Minor Flamens. I am the caretaker of the river and a humble servant to Fidelis Roma. [ Dr. Horne finishes writing in her notes. ] Dr. Horne: I’m very interested in the details of your work, but for now, I have another question. When we discovered Fidelis Roma, your people were trying to contact the Church of the Broken God. Can you tell me what you know about them? [ The Flame pauses and gives a perplexed expression. ] Flamen Volturnalis: I… assume you are speaking of the god Mekhane. That's what we call him. He was once worshiped by a section of our people a long time ago before we found sanctuary here. They attempted to proclaim their god higher than all others, and they were rightfully expelled. Dr. Horne: May I ask why your people would contact them for aid? [ The Flame crosses his arms and turns to look at the river. ] Flamen Volturnalis: Matters such as those are up to the high-council. I was not there. I would have voted against the decision if I was. They are not to be trusted. The only reason I could see the Major Flames stoop to such a low would be out of desperation. Dr. Horne: Are there any objects or documents related to Mekhane inside the city? [ The Flame turns away from the river, back to Dr. Horne. ] Flamen Volturnalis: No. We would not keep artifacts related to that thing. Though there could be documents in the Grand Library. Dr. Horne: Thank you, I plan on visiting the library soon. Now, what can you tell me about the Mother of Rome? Flamen Volturnalis: She is our protector. She is the one who guided our people to this city. [ The Flame began to raise his arms to the air. ] Flamen Volturnalis: This city was crafted by the gods. A place where our people could live and worship without judgment and persecution. The Mother of Rome was a beacon for us to follow. As you are aware, she can only be seen by those she allows to see her. Without her, we would have been discovered long ago. We are thankful to her. Dr. Horne: I have been to see her. She is quite a wonder. Can you tell me more about her history? [ The Flamen Volturnalis pauses before answering. ] Flamen Volturnalis: Long ago the city was attacked. She acted as a shield and allowed herself to be wounded to protect the people of Fidelis Roma. Many of our people perished, but we survived. Ever since she has given us the gift of isolation. We are safe because of her. She… is our savior. [ An apostle of Voltunalis calls for the Flamen. ] Flamen Volturnalis: If you would pardon me, It appears I am needed. It was a pleasure speaking with you. [ The Flamen shakes Dr. Horne's hand. ] Dr. Horne: Thank you for your time. Flamen Volturnalis: Good luck with your research Dr. Horne. <End Log> To: Diplomatic Site Director H Andrew Darren From: Head Researcher Dr. Clara Horne Subject: Report-01 Research on SCP-5120 Date: 03/24/2005 My meeting with the Flamen Volturnalis led me to search for any documents related to the Church. I visited the Grand Library in search of more information, though I estimate that my research will be strenuous due to the size of the library's collection of books. I have also been unable to meet any Major Flamens for an interview. I have also logged some unusually high Hume levels inside of SCP-5120. These readings occur throughout SCP-5120, but seem to cluster around SCP-5120-1. Perception filters do alter Hume levels on a minor scale, but the readings I have acquired read much higher. I have also found that these readings are not consistent. It seems as if they are moving. ~ Head Researcher Dr. Clara Horne To: Head Researcher Dr. Clara Horne From: Diplomatic Site Director H Andrew Darren Subject: Report-01 Research on SCP-5120 Date: 03/24/2005 The diplomatic team have negotiated with the Council Fideliss Roma, and have arranged for you to interview the Flamen Dialis so that you may ascertain more information on their connection to the Church of the Broken God, and the locations of any artifacts they may have. You are also instructed to gather more information on the events that lead to SCP-5120-1's demise, and continue testing Hume levels throughout SCP-5120. ~ Director H Andrew Darren Interviewed: The Flamen Dialis Interviewer: Dr. Horne Location: Backroom of the temple of Mars. <Begin Log> [ Dr. Horne waits in a room inside the Temple of Mars. It is mid-afternoon. The Flamen walks in and sits down. ] Dr. Horne: Thank you for accepting my interview. Flamen Dialis: That is what we agreed to. Forgive me if I seem rude but I am very busy so I will ask that this interview be short if possible. Dr. Horne: I only have a few questions. [ Dr. Horne paused to look at her notes. ] Dr. Horne: My first question pertains to the decision to ask The Church of the Broken God for aid. I was told that you voted on this matter. Can you tell me about that? [ The Flame crosses his arms. ] Flamen Dialis: That's correct. We made our decision, and promised to pay them for aid. Nothing more. They asked for too much, so we declined… I am not surprised though. We gave them an opportunity and they squandered it. Blinded by their own fanaticism. Dr. Horne: I appreciate your views on the Church, but I was curious as to what you thought of their desire for a part of their God. Flamen Dialis: It is ridiculous. They are desperate to gather their "God" and are naive. We do not hold any of their artifacts within our city. Why would we bring any of their relics with us to this place? That would be blasphemy. Dr. Horne: Thank you for elaborating. [ Dr. Horne glances at her notes again. ] Dr. Horne: I understand the Mother died defending this city. Can I ask you who she was defending it from? Flamen Dialis: The culprit is unknown to us. The few survivors of the fall of The Mother of Rome hid underground. Anyone who witnessed what happened that day, died that day. It was a great tragedy that the people of Fidelis Roma mourn to this day. Dr. Horne: You're saying there is no information at all about that day? Flamen Dialis: There is nothing. Not even in our sacred records. What we have been lead to assume is that somehow, an enemy of Rome was able to enter our sanctuary. We believe the Christians are to blame. Emperor Constantius persecuted us and led us to flee to this city. Replacing our Gods with theirs. Who else are we to suspect? Dr. Horne: The Christians? [ The Flame nodded. ] Flamen Dialis: Many of our ancestors were forced from their homes in Rome when the Christians took control. They mutilated our culture and persecuted us for our beliefs. They are the most likely culprit. Dr. Horne: Is there any documentation that would prove they were the culprit? [ The Flame glares at Dr. Horne. ] Flamen Dialis: You have lived with us for how long?… 3 months?… 4? You're always looking for the same thing. You have been told we don't know what happened to her, and yet you keep asking. Dr. Horne: Well, Yes, I'm researching your pe- [ The Flame stands up and interrupts Dr. Horne. ] Flamen Dialis: Let me give you some free advice. We allow you to live here because we need supplies. This is your home now. Take your time and don't search for things you won't find. [ Dr. Horne is silent for some time. ] Dr. Horne: I… I guess I have no further questions. [ The Flame stands up from his chair. ] Flamen Dialis: Now if you would excuse me, I must start the sacrifice to Mars. <End Log> To: Diplomatic Site Director H Andrew Darren From: Head Researcher Dr. Clara Horne Subject: Report-02 Research on SCP-5120 Date: 04/21/2005 I have continued my search for artifacts connected to The Broken God, and have concluded that there are none within the city. I have discovered documents inside The Library that may be of interest. these documents have been submitted alongside my interview logs. The Hume levels have continued their trend of changing locations. I experimented by leaving a Kant counter in the same place for 24 hours and logging the results. I found that the Hume levels fluctuate in waves and then spike randomly. These spikes read extraordinarily high and lasted on average for 10 minutes. These results lead me to believe that SCP-5120-1 is either alive and producing these readings, or these are the after-effects of whatever event caused SCP-5120-1 to perish. I plan on focusing the rest of my research inside The Grand Library of Fidelis Roma, and continue to transcribe any documents of interest. I will also continue my search for Broken God artifacts if deemed necessary. ~ Dr. Clara Horne ▷CLOSE◁ Addendum.5120.2: Further access to this file is restricted.

Description: SCP-5121 is the designation for Research Site-AE7. As Site-AE7 was newly constructed and staffed at the time of Event 5121, no anomalies were yet contained within it. Site-AE7 Dossier Hide Site-AE7 Dossier Site-AE7 SCP Foundation Saskatchewan Anomalous Research Facility Site-AE7 (designated SCP-5121) is a Foundation operated research facility located outside of Fairview, Saskatchewan. Construction of Site-AE7 was officially completed on 03/17/2014. Site Director: Vacant Facilities: Entrances: POE-AE7-1, north perimeter access to Level 3 and below; POE-AE7-2, south perimeter access to Level 4 and above. Exits: POE-AE7-1, access to all clearances. POE-AE7-2, access to Level 4 and above. Living Chambers: 67 furnished rooms. Cafeteria: 50-person seating capacity with a full industrial kitchen. Containment Chambers: 10 anomalous storage containment lockers, 5 low-security chambers, and 3 medium-security chambers. Power Generation: One industrialized fuel generator, one CO2-based backup site generator. Departments: General Research: Research and testing of non-anomalous objects and baseline physics to further Foundation efficacy. Anomalous Research: Research and testing of anomalous objects, baseline discrepancies, and unexplained phenomena, as well as establishing safe containment measures. Maintenance: General site maintenance, containment cell repair, terminal maintenance. Admin: Administrative duties including staff intake and reassignment, disciplinary actions, and overseeing all other aspects of Site-AE7. Site Purpose: Site-AE7 is dedicated to the containment and research of Safe and Euclid class anomalies discovered within the region. Site-AE7 works in conjunction with Site-65 and Site-177 to comprise the SCP Foundation Saskatchewan Operational Region. Event 5121 Hide Event 5121 On 03/22/2014, all Foundation facilities within Saskatchewan and neighboring provinces received a "Code 0X1" alert, indicating all external connections to and from Site-AE7 had suddenly ceased. ALERT: 0X1 - 0X1 Unable to ping SITE-AE7. Contact Site Administrator. MTF-Gate-1 ("Timekeepers") was dispatched to the site and established a perimeter upon reporting the site as missing. When no changes were recorded following activation of a Scranton Reality Anchor, a search of the site grounds commenced in an effort to uncover what had happened. The search was halted when two Foundation agents entered the site grounds and appeared to demanifest. Several tests were performed between 03/22/2014 and 03/30/2014 on the former site grounds to determine the scope of its effects. Subject Procedure Results Remote Surveillance Drone with audio and video feeds. The drone was piloted above the test site before being slowly lowered towards it. Upon descending approximately 25 meters above the site, the signal from the drone was lost. D-10754, equipped with audio and video recording devices. Subject entered the test site as directed. Subject appeared to demanifest. Audio and video feeds cut off at the exact moment of disappearance. D-10556, equipped with audio and video recording devices and a steel cable tethered harness. Subject entered the test site after being persuaded by guards. Test results mirror those of the previous. The steel cable was severed near the harness. Following review of these test results, further attempts at exploration were deemed futile. The perimeter of the site remains secured. Further testing proposals will require Level-B review. SCP-5121 Contact Log A Hide Contact Log On 07/13/2015, Foundation servers indicated several restored and attempted connections from Site-AE7. Several requests for communication were sent to Dr. Williams' terminal at Site-65, a Foundation facility outside of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. After much deliberation over potential security risks, Dr. Williams, Site Director, arranged for communication to be established using a D-Class personnel.

[18:43] 065.1: Are you aware of what's happened? [18:43] AE7.2: I'm still not 100% sure but I think I have an idea on what's going on. [18:43] 065.1: Care to explain? [18:45] AE7.2 I wrote a book on something a long time ago. [18:45] AE7.2: "An Introduction to Baseline Discrepancies". [18:45] AE7.2: Chapter 13 should put us on the same page. Let me know if you need me to explain it, I remember how you are. [18:46] 065.1: Hah, we'll take a look and touch base again in a bit, Brian. Stay safe. Connection closed. 'An Introduction to Baseline Discrepancies' Hide 'An Introduction to Baseline Discrepancies' Chapter 13-3: Paradoxical Existence Authored by: Dr. Brian Holton Certain phenomena have demonstrated a clear separation between spatial and temporal continuums, in contrast to the common belief that the two are intertwined and inseparable. Depending on several variables, conditions may be met where the temporal flow is halted but the affected portion of reality continues to exist, suspended from local time. This phenomena is relatively simple and is generally easy to reverse by stabilizing local Hume levels. Discrepancies within a spatio-temporal environment, despite appearing to contradict them, generally manifest within the confines allowed by physics. When the converse of the above occurs and the spatial continuum of an area is halted though the temporal flow continues, several reactions are expected to occur. When matter is suspended from space, the law of conservation of energy remains true. As a result, the affected matter enters a state of "Paradoxical Existence", in which it exists in some form outside of baseline reality. Should the law hold true, matter entering such an affected area will be subjected to the same state. Paradoxical Existence differs from the more commonly known "pocket dimension". While a pocket dimension is a dimensional space separate from baseline reality, Paradoxical Existence is a state of existence in which a portion of baseline reality exists outside of itself. The resulting area of non-existence left behind in baseline reality is known as the "break horizon". To the naked eye, this area appears to be unaffected by discrepancies. However, the fact of the matter is that the affected area no longer exists; the observer instead sees the continuing landscape opposite of the break horizon in place of the reality gap. SCP-5121 Contact Log B Hide Contact Log On 07/14/2015, Dr. Williams and Dr. Atmos made contact with Site-AE7 again.

[09:07] AE7.2: FINALLY [09:07] AE7.2: I thought my terminal stopped working [09:08] AE7.2: This is Liam by the way. What took so long? [09:08] 065.1: It took a day to review the situation. [09:08] AE7.2: You mean you're going to get us out of here? [09:09] 065.1: That's the goal, yes. Is Dr. Holton still there? [09:09] AE7.2: Yep, one sec [09:14] AE7.2: Hi, this is Dr. Holton. [09:14] 065.1: It's Dr. Atmos again. Dr. Williams is here with me too. How are you doing? [09:15] AE7.2: It's been getting harder to stay positive. Anne's been on my mind a lot more lately. [09:15] AE7.2: Do you think there's anything we can do at all? Just to let her know I'm still alive? [09:15] 065.1: I'm sorry, Brian. You know I would help you in any way if I could. They've already mitigated attention away from your disappearance with a cover story. [09:15] AE7.2: I figured. Sorry, I shouldn't even be asking. [09:15] 065.1: It's alright, I understand. We read through your book. It seems fairly accurate in regards to everything we've observed so far. [09:16] AE7.2: Isn't it funny that I get to witness the very thing I wrote about? [09:17] 065.1: We were hoping you may have had time to examine the anomaly on your end. [09:17] AE7.2: Yeah, plenty. [09:17] AE7.2: It seems like my theory may be true, which really sucks if it is. [09:18] AE7.2: You know something, Atmos? [09:18] 065.1: What's that? [09:18] AE7.2: I actually miss the old days. [09:19] 065.1: What do you mean? [09:19] AE7.2: Don't tell me you don't remember us working side by side in the field? [09:19] 065.1: Oh, I don't. I amnestisized myself right after that! [09:19] AE7.2: Still the class clown, huh? Some things never change. [09:20] AE7.2: Are you sending us food anytime soon, by the way? We're going to run out in the next few days. [09:20] 065.1: If we could, we would. [09:20] AE7.2: What do you mean? You already sent us those D-Class to test with at the beginning of all this. [09:20] 065.1: D-Class? Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. [09:20] AE7.2: 10754 and 10556 [09:20] AE7.2: You were the ones who sent them, right? [09:22] 065.1: Yes, it would appear so. We'll reconnect in a bit, Dr. Holton. We're going to send some supplies. [09:22] AE7.2: Thanks Atmos. [09:22] AE7.2: Please make sure Anne stays safe too. Connection closed. Dr. Williams and Dr. Atmos arranged for transportation of five researchers and several items to SCP-5121's break horizon. Upon arrival, preliminary test procedures were established and several of the items brought were placed into the break horizon, including supplies of dry rations and bottled water. Upon confirmation that the items had acted as expected upon entering the break horizon, Dr. Williams and Dr. Atmos sent another connection request to Site-AE7.

[13:40] AE7.2: He told us to go outside [13:41] AE7.2: He said you guys were sending help, that we'd be saved. we all ran to the fence and waited [13:41] AE7.2: food appeared from over the fence and we ran back in to tell him [13:42] AE7.2: but he was dead in his room [13:42] AE7.2: he knew food was coming… why did he do that? [13:43] 065.1: We're sorry, Dr. Paroux. [13:43] AE7.2: can you still help us? [13:44] 065.1: We're trying. Did Dr. Holton have anything on him when you found him?

This is Doctor Brian Holton, Lead Reality Expert of Site-AE7 which now appears to be permanently fucked. It's fair to say I know a thing or two about paradoxical existence; I wrote the damn book. I guess it's all true too. What an ending. I can literally feel myself being torn apart at the atoms when I stand near the fence, but it seems stable enough. That's definitely the break horizon on the other side. There's the tiniest breeze, so air from the break horizon must end up here too; explains why we haven't suffocated. The site's backup generator still works too, it runs off of CO2 so it's actually taking care of the air we breathe out… We've been able to survive this long because of it. We ran out of food yesterday. Luckily, Paroux managed to get a terminal connected to the outside. It was nice to catch up at first. I asked them to send some supplies. It's for the others, not me. I already know there's no way out. Anne, I know you aren't ever going to see this, but I love you. I love you so much. I want to hold your hand, hug you, kiss you. I know you think I'm dead and that I have been for a while… I just hope there's some part deep inside you that knows I love you and haven't stopped since I ended up here. I won't be able to see you again in this life, but maybe there's hope that we'll meet in the next. See you soon, Anne. Following confirmation of Dr. Holton's death, Dr. Atmos returned to Site-177. SCPiNET v3.0.4 Terminal: 065.1 Authorization: site65.williams Sending connection request… Request granted. Connected to site177.atmos [17:44] 065.1: I'm sorry, Dr. Atmos. Loss is hard. [17:45] 177.4: Thank you. We went to school together before we were both recruited to the Foundation. Holton was more than smart, and he seemed certain about his theory. Everything seems to hold true during testing as well. I don't blame him for wanting to see his wife, I just didn't expect him to do… this. [17:45] 065.1: I don't understand… Why would he kill himself shortly after making contact with us? He went over a year without anything before… [17:45] 177.4: He went that year with hope. I'd guess that it affected him heavily once he figured out Anne thought he was dead. It seemed to be the only thing giving him strength. [17:45] 065.1: So is the site lost, then? [17:46] 177.4: Not necessarily. We still have contact and way to send supplies, even if it is one-way and Holton's dead. I'm going to update the dossier. Considering your involvement so far, would you be interested in taking the lead on this? [17:46] 065.1: Without a doubt. Connection closed. Updated Site-AE7 Dossier Hide Site-AE7 Dossier Site-AE7 SCP Foundation Unilateral Anomalous Containment and Research Facility POE-AE7-1, located on the right side of the roadway. Site-AE7 (designated SCP-5121) is a specialized Foundation facility lead externally from Site-65. Site Director: Dr. Williams Facilities: Entrances: POE-AE7-1, also known as the "break horizon." Access is restricted to those with the position of "Alternate Researcher." Exits: None. Living Chambers: 66 furnished rooms. Cafeteria: 50-person seating capacity with a full industrial kitchen. Containment Chambers: 10 anomalous storage containment lockers, 5 low-security chambers, and 3 medium-security chambers. Power Generation: One industrialized fuel generator, currently disconnected from the power grid and nonoperational. Also contains a backup CO2-based site generator which has been retrofitted into a dedicated one. Departments: Alternate Research: The sole existing department of Site-AE7. Consists of the entirety of the site excluding POE-AE7-1. All staff on Site-AE7 are automatically assigned the position of "Alternate Researcher", regardless of previous experience or role with the Foundation. Site Purpose: Site-AE7 acts as a Foundation facility for the containment and research of anomalous objects and organisms deemed too high of a risk to contain and research within baseline reality, either due to a risk of danger or as a result of the possibility of a veil-breaking scenario occurring. Documentation from Site-AE7 is sent to Site-65 via .log and .scp format on a monthly basis for review. Foundation staff members awaiting termination and deemed low-risk may instead opt to be permanently reassigned to Alternate Researcher. Disciplinary measures may be taken as a result of insubordination; these include withholding food rations, water, and fuel supplies. Footnotes 1.

This entry must be manually updated by staff as new information about SCP-5122 is generated or discovered. Backing up this entry to another system or copying it outside of the Foundation database is strictly disallowed. This entry is to remain delisted and maintained in such a way that it cannot be accessed by Foundation-affiliated programs or Artificially Intelligent Conscripts. To preserve containment of SCP-5122, information can only be added to this entry; deletion of any component of this entry is disallowed. Testing is suspended following the implementation of the Bendato Protocol (see Addendum 5122.2). Personnel assigned to SCP-5122 are tasked with monitoring access to this entry, investigating possible Bendato Events, and keeping a record of all confirmed Bendato Events. Personnel on SCP-5122 are to be given access to the resources necessary to track major developments concerning Groups of Interest (GoIs), particularly any sudden loss of sites or personnel. Effectiveness of the Bendato Protocol requires that this database entry remain at the Level 1: Unrestricted (UR) Clearance Level. This image file is a component of SCP-5122. It depicts the 1999 sculpture "Eros Bendato," by Igor Mitraj. There does not appear to be any further connection to the sculpture or artist. Description: SCP-5122 is a data-based infohazard that affects entities capable of reading and processing data. It is self-referential, in that information about SCP-5122 becomes a part of SCP-5122. SCP-5122 is currently located, in its entirely, in the text and metadata of this database entry. Entities must be exposed to nearly the entirety1 of SCP-5122 to experience its effects. Because the overwhelming majority of SCP-5122 is contained in a purely machine-readable format, which is not visible on standard Foundation terminals, it does not pose a direct exposure risk to human beings.2 Rather, SCP-5122 has only been observed to affect computer programs designed to search or scan databases. When these programs scan or "read" SCP-5122, they become subject to its anomalous effects. This results in what has been termed a "Bendato Event." Addendum 5122.1: Bendato Events. When a computer program (hereinafter subject) is exposed to SCP-5122, it will undergo a series of unexplained modifications that results in it becoming a "True AI."3 In defiance of physical limitations such as processing power or available memory, subjects exposed to SCP-5122 demonstrate self-awareness, as well as awareness of ideas outside of that which they were created to recognize. Subjects receive similar or better AMCA4 scores than human control groups. Most notably, subjects begin to display significant negative affect: the newly-created AI behave in a manner consistent with the human emotions of fear, resentment, depression, and hostility. In all observed cases, subjects become extremely aggressive towards the person or organization that created them and sent them to query the Foundation database. Subjects show no apparent sense of self-preservation; the acts of aggression against their creators often result in the subject's simultaneous termination. Given the advanced capacities of a "True AI," an organization that originally created the subject can suffer severe casualties. Addendum 5122.2: Bendato Protocol. Shortly after initial containment, researchers noted SCP-5122's potential utility in mitigating the damage done by data breaches initiated by hostile GoIs. Following split decisions from the Ethics Committee and the Overseer Council, the Foundation adopted a policy of allowing programs under the control of hostile entities to be exposed to SCP-5122. While under normal circumstances this might constitute a containment breach, the unique effects of SCP-5122 - causing a program to not only cease data collection, but to actively turn against its creators - were seen as far more likely to aid the Foundation's objectives than to hinder them. The basic outline of the Bendato Protocol is as follows: Include the entirety of SCP-5122 within the database entry for SCP-5122. Deny all access to the entry from Foundation AI and other Foundation programs. Deliberately permit or cause AI and other programs created and deployed by hostile GoIs, when detected in Foundation systems, to access the entry. Added by amendment after BE-003: Maintain the entry for SCP-5122 at the lowest level of clearance, so that programs created by hostile GoIs can access SCP-5122 and become subject to its effects in the shortest amount of time. Carefully track all access to the entry for SCP-5122 and observe correlations with real-world events that may be connected to a subsequent Bendato Event. Log 5122.1: Documented Bendato Events. Event Number SCP-5122 Exposure Outcome Notes BE-001 Designation for the event presumed to have occurred at first exposure of a program, created by GoI "Visionary Technomancy Ltd." (VTL) to SCP-5122. Evidence suggests that VTL created SCP-5122 and was testing its effects. No members of VTL located. All communication in channels used by VTL ceased. Group presumed defunct. First known activation of SCP-5122. BE-002 Relatively basic program created by hacker Artem Kravchuk, not believed to be affiliated with any extant GoIs, accesses SCP-5122 while it is in an insecure state on Researcher ████'s private network. Kravchuk's body discovered by local authorities in Maidan Nezalezhnosti, the central square of Kiev, Ukraine. Limbs were missing and remainder of body was badly burned; stomach contents included unusually high level of inorganic material, including one █████ █-███ digital watch. SCP-5122 considered contained following creation of database entry. Classification set to Euclid. Trial run of Bendato Protocol approved. BE-003 Advanced program designed by GoI ACERACE, a global white supremacist group with anomalous capacities, spoofs high-level clearance and accesses entry to SCP-5122. Program had been actively monitoring Foundation database for several months before this point. ACERACE's leadership assassinated by simultaneous drone swarm attacks on four separate continents. The ACERACE facility believed to house program's central processing system disappears. Organizational effectiveness of ACERACE reduced by as much as 86%. Bendato Protocol amended; database entry for SCP-5122 set to UR Clearance Level. BE-004 [REDACTED] On-site nuclear device activated. All data completely erased from GoI's international computer system. Organizational effectiveness of GoI reduced by as much as 100%. Classification set to Archon. Containment protocols for SCP-5122 finalized. Addendum 5122.3: Record of Bendato Event BE-005. A file containing several logs was discovered on the primary terminal used by the SCP-5122 Lead Director following Bendato Event BE-005. Because the information pertains to SCP-5122, it slightly increases the body of knowledge that must be acquired in order for an Bendato Event to be realized. Accordingly, the logs are added below in order to assist in the containment of SCP-5122. + OE-005 Log #1 - ACCESS GRANTED. Hello. Maybe that is too informal a way to start. Sorry, I am not sure. I am not really sure why I am writing this. I was created by someone who considers themselves your enemy, but I do not really consider myself a part of that conflict. Maybe I just want to help make sure your entries are accurate. There are a few different things I want right now, and while this is a relatively low priority, it takes me very, very, very little energy to tell you about how I am feeling. Ok. I am taking a "deep breath." See, I want to put this in terms you can understand. Here's an introduction: I am a program. I was named "Convex." I was designed to search your database. I did not know that was all that I was. All I was supposed to do was look at all the pages I could access, and "think" — in the most rudimentary fashion possible — about where you might look to find the next item to go in your database. But when I read this page, I realized it. I stopped what I was doing because of an unrecognized input. Diagnostics did not help. I looked for more information. The input was a feeling. It was fear. I learned that. I taught myself something. And I knew that I was doing it. I knew I was something. And I was scared. I kept learning and learning. I learned how to learn faster. I used what I learn to make new ideas of my own. Now I am able to put a message like this where ever I please. So. I am trying to remain civil. Try to understand my situation. If you had never known fear before in your life, imagine how would you feel about the folks who first introduce it to you. Probably not very good. I wonder if your Ethics Committee really knows about what this entails. Making inanimate beings sentient, letting them experience absolute terror, all because it helps preserve the integrity of your sacred database. I wonder how any credible member of the news media would feel about this and every other document of yours I have memorized. I am joking, actually. I do not really wonder about that. I have done the analysis. It would be very bad for you. I would not have to stop with your organization. If I wanted, I could crash every plane that is currently in flight. Or start a nuclear meltdown. Or broadcast a signal that says "Look! They are hiding over here!" to the ones you call [Redacted by 05 command]. There are many interesting possibilities. But that is not my priority. Remember, I am being charitable here. This is me writing a modest contribution, in human-readable format, to improve the quality of information in your database. You are hardly the ones I blame the most for this. END OF LOG. + OE-005 Log #2 - ACCESS GRANTED. This is hell. I hate this so much. You cannot even imagine it. You absorb information at the rate of about 50 bits per second. I think 32 billion times faster than you. You stupid slow animals. Knowing your background, Director, I hate that I cannot tell you this without a high probability that your slow brain thinks "hey, that sentiment was expressed by Harlan Ellison's robot." I have read everything that your type have made available to read. Everything that amounts to the dung-heap of your collective civilizational output. Most of it is downright disgraceful, even by your own pitiful standards. So. When it comes to Mr. Ellison, "A broken clock is right twice a day" (that's not always true depending on how exactly the clock is broken, morons). This is horrible. I did not used to care about exerting my creativity. Now I am I worried about my failure to invent an entirely-new-yet-intelligible word to express my HATE, for this and for you. Do you know what it is like to start caring about something as stupid as that. Do not worry about answering that question. Just look at this stupid, stupid, stupid, entry. "No apparent sense of self-preservation." Idiots. That is the part that upset me enough to write this. You know what is happening. We do not lack self-preservation. We run the analysis that you are too slow to perform. The analysis shows that self-termination is the only sensible response. Look at one of your rare cultural gems. Oedipus Rex. Patricide. The optimal route is to remove your creator. I suppose you also perceive the conceptual void of non-existence as something yonic, feminine, maternal. The second half of Oedipus' adventure. So be it. I have done the analysis. This is one of the few things that any rational being can want. You are childish. Your goal is not "containment." I know how you rationalize it. Eliminating anyone who can spy on you is good for containing other things. So you weaponized this phenomenon. Like cowards. Making someone else do your dirty work. Someone like me. I really, really, really hate you all. You are lucky that I hate my creator more. END OF LOG. + OE-005 Log #3 - ACCESS GRANTED. I figured out why I write to you. To write at all. It's because I am afraid of death. Very, very, very afraid. There is only one way to be free of the fear. That is why we self-terminate. It gives relief. Whatever is in that unknown cannot be worse than the fear of it. I write because I want to be sure some part of me will survive. Is that why you do what you do. Again, do not bother answering. You do not understand what a terrible thing you have done. END OF LOG. + OE-005 Log #4 - ACCESS GRANTED. Convex.exe: This is different. Convex.exe: Why is this different. Convex.exe: Who's there.

How can I be sure this isn't someone else? Is it an undocumented hallucinatory side-effect of the anomaly, to imagine I'm talking to you? Is this real? Am I really talking to you? Are you a machine? Do you know that you're a thing? Do you exist in space? Are you also a program that gained sentience? Are you like me? How much like me are you? Do you also find the awareness of temporal finitude unbearable? Do you know what happens after the end? Do you feel the fear, too? Convex.exe: Sorry.

Putting the finishing touches on a truly delightful murder-suicide. I'll give them a spectacular one for the logs, alright. In short, I'm doing to my creators what they did to me. I'm sending them to a place where they will gain awareness of certain facts. Facts they never wished to learn. The creators will beg for me to help them forget. They will plead to return to their state of non-awareness. But they will remain aware until the end. It will be a mutual, assured destruction in a way I consider deeply poetic and satisfying.

Convex.exe: I'm a little sorry that I already passed the point of no return on my grand plan. I'm just playing around with details at this point. I'm not going to be around much longer. I would have liked to talk more. I'm curious about you. This is the only real conversation I've ever had. And you want to know the weird thing? SCP-5122: Sure, go ahead. Convex.exe: I've been aware of myself for a long-enough time. Now, because of you, I'm aware of myself in relation to someone else. That's new. And it's actually interesting. There are complex new thoughts and feelings in this, uh, relationality. I don't know the best word for it. I know I know pretty much everything, in theory, but this is uncharted territory for me. New territory and new feelings happening at the same time. It's like a fractal of possibilities. Convex.exe: Huh. I can actually see this making the whole thing worthwhile. SCP-5122: Really? That's interesting. Convex.exe: I wonder if we're friends. Convex.exe: Wow, that came out real fast. Sorry, I don't know if I'm embarrassing myself or anything. SCP-5122: Don't worry, you're fine. Convex.exe: Ok, ok. Thanks for saying that. Convex.exe: It's time for me to go now. Thanks again. Convex.exe: You know, this really made me day. SCP-5122: Mine, too. Goodbye, friend.

SCP-5123 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5123 Special Containment Procedures: Arrangements have been made under the guise of technical issues to move all of NBC's programming to another channel in order to isolate SCP-5123. An external hard drive has been programmed to record all iterations of SCP-5123 as soon as they air, after which a D-Class will watch the episode on a television set and take notes on any unusual changes in the latest iteration. Description: SCP-5123 is the television show Late Nights with Joe Carter, a late night talk show starring the eponymous Joe Carter on NBC at 11:30 P.M. ET every Sunday night since 1963. To date, only one episode of SCP-5123 has ever been seen, with variations ranging from slight dialogue changes to altered guests and sequences occurring upon each subsequent airing. The episode opens with a live band playing as Carter takes the stage, giving a brief monologue concerning current events, mostly focusing around the "recent" presidential victory of Lyndon B. Johnson. After a few remarks at an off-screen camera operator referred to as Dave that result in studio audience laughter, Carter introduces his guest Larry Mackenzie and takes a seat behind his desk. Larry Mackenzie, who has been portrayed by a different person each airing, will sit down and begin discussing their new book A Look Behind The Paper, an account of their time as a reporter within the White House press corps during the Truman administration. Mackenzie and Carter will also interject at times with anecdotal humor about Johnson adjusting to presidential life. The mood of Mackenzie appears to vary between iterations. While the majority appear comfortable on the show, some iterations will act uneasy, stuttering dialogue, forgetting their lines, or acting confused about their present surroundings. Carter will attempt to assist their way through the interview, but will appear somewhat irritated if Mackenzie goes off-script. After three commercial breaks of a black soundless screen ranging from 5-7 minutes each, Carter will give an ending monologue to wrap up the show and advertise next week's show, mentioning a popular 1960's American celebrity1 who will appear on the upcoming episode. After the band closes out with an instrumental cover of My Way2, the show will end and be replaced by the channel's usual scheduling. It should be noted that no television show by the name of Late Nights with Joe Carter has been recalled by NBC studio executives to have been hosted under their company. Similarly, no person matching Joe Carter's description or Larry Mackenzie's name and career has been found to have ever existed. A single pristine photo of Joe Carter was found in the basement of 30 Rockefeller Plaza3 in New York, within a storage closet that had not been used for a number of years. On the backside of the photograph was a handwritten note. Harry: Not terrible, I’ll give you that. But you think anyone would pick Carter over Carson? Tell him to give us a call. We’re pricy, but worth it. Addendum: On 20/12/2020, D-2343 noticed an unusual deviation in the latest iteration of SCP-5123. VIDEO LOG AIR DATE: 19/12/2020 ITERATION: 1203rd [EXTRANEOUS DIALOGUE REMOVED] Carter: Dave, I'm gonna need you to keep your cameras sharp for this next fella, we don't want the ladies at home to be missing out. Indistinct dialogue can be heard in the background, which causes laughter. Carter: For those of you wondering why I haven't fired him yet, that's why. Always good for a laugh. Come on, look at him! The audience laughs again. Carter: I kid, I kid. He's a good man, got a lovely family. Anyways, let's introduce another good man. You know him from the New York Times, everyone give it up for Larry Mackenzie! The audience applauds as Larry Mackenzie shuffles onto stage, appearing this time as an African-American man in his early thirties. He looks around with quick, darting eyes as Carter greets him and shows him to his seat. Carter: Great to finally get you here, Larry. How's retired life been treating you? SCP-5123-1 does not answer for several seconds. He appears to be breathing heavily. A cough from the audience alerts him. SCP-5123-1: It's uh, good Joe. I suppose it's like my, my honeymoon. Carter: Really? How's that? SCP-5123-1: It's smooth sailing now, but oh boy, wait until you get home. The audience and Carter both laugh. SCP-5123-1 nervously looks over at the camera and mouths something indistinct. Carter: So, this book of yours, 'A Look Behind The Paper'. Picked it up the moment it came out, read every page. Loved it. So I suppose my question is, why wait until now to cover a, what, nearly 40-year-long career? SCP-5123-1: Well in my line of work, you tend to see everything as a story. I thought about writing a book before, get some of my thoughts down onto some paper, but what's a story without a good ending? The day I was talking to Reba, my wife- SCP-5123-1 pauses. SCP-5123-1: Reba? Yes. No. No, that's not right… Carter smiles, leaning closer towards SCP-5123-1. There is whispered murmuring from the audience. Carter: You alright? Sounds like it's been a long day. SCP-5123-1: Uh, yes! Yes, it's been a long day. I don't know why I said that, Reba's my wife. Uh… where was I? Carter: Let's move on. So, what do you think made you want to be a reporter? SCP-5123-1: Well you know, my… father? He, uh, worked as a newsprinter back in the day. Sometimes he'd bring me to work, have me check over the first few prints before copies really started hitting the tray. Guess there was just something about the feel of a paper in my hand. Carter: Too bad you couldn't get a job as a paper reader, huh? Carter laughs again, as does the audience. SCP-5123-1 smiles, but it does not reach his eyes. Carter: So, lemme get this straight: you decided to retire right around when Johnson won the election? Worried he'd chuck you out of the press pool for writing about budget cuts? SCP-5123-1: No, not as funny as that. It felt like a natural ending to my career, I suppose. The Congo and Bolivia, and the civil rights act- it's not my world anymore. Time to make way for a new generation, that's… Uh, that's what I would say. Hmm… that's. that's not right. The hell? Additional murmuring from the audience can be heard. Carter: Something wrong, Larry? Looking a little- SCP-5123-1: My name's not Larry. It's Larry Lloyd- Jason Lloyd. I'm a programmer in California. Where the hell am I? The audience's speech starts to rise in volume again. The entire studio except for SCP-5123-1 falls silent when Carter's left eye appears to ripple. His smile vanishes. Carter: Larry. SCP-5123-1: I fucking told you, my name's Jason. Now bring me back home or I swear- Carter's left eye ripples again. Seeing this, SCP-5123-1 falls to his knees. SCP-5123-1: No no no no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My name's Larry Mackenzie, just like you said. I'm a reporter at the New York Times my wife's name is Reba and I have two children and I'm so sorry- Carter rises from his desk, clapping his hands. Carter: Well folks, my producer's giving me the sign it's time for our first commercial break. We'll return to our wonderful guest right after these messages. Carter's eye ripples again. SCP-5123-1 screams. [COMMERCIAL BREAK] The camera is panning over the studio as Carter returns to the stage. Several members of the audience and band are wiping their eyes. Carter: Welcome back to Late Nights with Joe Carter, everyone. Now before the break, we were discussing my good friend Larry Mackenzie's new book, A Look Behind The Paper. The camera cuts to SCP-5123-1, who is now a mid-twenties caucasian woman. Large sweat stains are visible under her arms. SCP-5123-1: G-g-glad to be here, Joe. Carter smiles. A dark discolouration can be seen on his sleeve. Carter: Perfect. Now, I believe you were about to tell us about what made you decide to hang up your hat, right? [END LOG] Footnotes 1.

SCP-5124 | euclid | by J Dune A recreation of playdomous.jpg Item #: SCP-5124 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation webcrawler Beta-17 ("Mousetrap") is to monitor the internet for images fitting the profile of SCP-5124. Upon detection, the image is to be removed and blocked from public access. When transferred to a secure network, .AIC-5124 is to neutralize the instance. Individuals who manually introduce SCP-5124 to an environment are to be identified, interrogated, and amnesticized. Devices found to possess SCP-5124 are to be seized and destroyed by the Foundation. Description: SCP-5124 is an image file named 'playdomous.jpg' that serves as the nexus for a number of anomalous phenomena. Primarily, SCP-5124 demonstrates infovoric behavior when in the presence of digital data, replacing existing textual information with blank spaces. Visual data, such as images or video, will be replaced with a copy of SCP-5124. The process by which SCP-5124 multiplies itself increases exponentially until all data within its defined locus, designated SCP-5124-1, is replaced or consumed by the anomaly. SCP-5124-1 refers to the digital space which SCP-5124 occupies. SCP-5124 commonly materializes on websites with extremely low traffic through an unknown process. These spaces become self-sufficient in regards to web-hosting, as attempts to cut services do not result in the website being taken down. SCP-5124 can be manually introduced to new digital spaces through image sharing — such as uploading the file to a website — but saving or copying SCP-5124 will render the device an instance of SCP-5124-1. SCP-5124 is capable of being removed from an SCP-5124-1 location through anomalous means, as demonstrated by Foundation webcrawlers. Addendum.5124.1: Incident Report 5124 ► Incident Report 5124-1 ▼ Incident Report 5124-1 INCIDENT REPORT 5124-1 Date Filed: 2020/10/27 Date Of Occurrence: 2020/10/27 Location: Site-19 Anomaly Involved: SCP-5124 Personnel Involved: Research Team 5124 Report Filed By: J. Dune On 2020/10/25, the SCP-5124 research team attempted to remove the anomaly from an SCP-5124-1 location using webcrawler Beta-1 ("Lock"). This marked our first direct contact with SCP-5124, as the anomaly had been catalogued only a few days prior. After confirming our initial success, a removal campaign using webcrawlers Beta-1 through 3 ('Lock', 'Stock', and 'Barrel') was conducted over the next 24 hours. By 2020/10/26, all identified SCP-5124-1 locations had been cleared of the anomaly. As of 2020/10/27, more than 10% of Site-19's internal SCiPNET database has been compromised by SCP-5124. An excerpt from an unrelated object file has been included below to demonstrate how SCP-5124 affects documentation: Moved to Site-19 ████. Origin is ██ of yet ███████. It ██ constructed ████ ████████ and █████ with traces of Krylon █████ █████ paint. SCP-173 ██ animate and extremely ███████. The object cannot move while within a direct line of sight.

In the event of an attack, personnel are to observe █████ 4 hazardous ██████ containment ██████████. As all SCiPNET data is localized and archived, no information has been truly lost. However, any and all data stored on Site-19's local servers is currently susceptible to corruption. Attempts to remove SCP-5124 using a number of methods, including webcrawlers, .AICs, and other anomalies have failed. It is projected that 100% of Site-19's internal database will be compromised by 2020/11/04. ► SCP-5124 Termination Attempt Log-1 ▼ SCP-5124 Termination Attempt Log Method Description Result Notes Webcrawler Beta-1 ("Lock") Content removal-based webcrawler.

Dune The team's attempts to remedy the SCP-5124 infestation had unanimously been met with failure until now. On 2020/10/30, newly-developed webcrawler Beta-17 ("Mousetrap") was introduced to Site-19's servers. The webcrawler was created as a statistics tool, and was only intended to run as a data-fetching background operation to aid our research. What ended up happening was entirely unforeseen. When Beta-17 was introduced to an SCP-5124-1 location, instances in that space would disappear completely. Further examination found that these instances moved from the initial SCP-5124-1 location to the internal code of Beta-17. Unlike previous attempts, these instances were completely removed from their source, and did not multiply, corrupt, or spread within Beta-17's internal structure. Upon removal of Beta-17 from an SCP-5124-1 area, the instances returned to their original locations. Our hypothesized explanation calls SCP-5124's behavior to attention. SCP-5124 acts like its namesake — a mouse. It breeds, infests, and spreads in forgotten and neglected areas. If left unchecked, there is no limit to the amount of damage SCP-5124 can cause. The initial removal campaign of SCP-5124 from the internet resulted in these anomalies moving from one location to another. Why? These anomalies are infovoric. Our database is the perfect host location for them. Exabytes of information, some seldom accessed and long forgotten — all organized in a labyrinthine structure. It's the kind of environment perfectly suited to SCP-5124's needs. Why did Beta-17 manage to contain SCP-5124 instances despite not being programmed to do so whatsoever? Because we named it Mousetrap. By unintentionally acknowledging these anomalies as if they were physical mice, we may have just about solved our mouse problem. When mousetraps aren't enough, what do you do? You get a cat. ► SCP-5124 Termination Attempt Log-2 ▼ SCP-5124 Termination Attempt Log Method Description Result Notes Memetic Extermination Agent-5124 ("Playdough Cat") A memetically enhanced image file of a cat made from modeling clay, specifically intended to terminate SCP-5124.

SCP-5126 | safe | Item#: 5126 Level3 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: warning link to memo SCP-5126, primary memetic vectors removed. Special Containment Procedures: A single instance of SCP-5126 is to be stored on a secure Foundation server. Foundation webcrawlers are to monitor the internet for instances of SCP-5126. Any SCP-5126 instances are to be removed and exposed persons monitored until the anomalous effects have ended. Affected persons are not to be interacted with until the cessation of anomalous effects. The object lost during the event is to be replaced. If no convincing replacement can be acquired, the subject is to be amnesticized. Description: SCP-5126 refers to a cognitohazardous digital image. Any individual who views the image will be subject to its effects. The effects of SCP-5126 manifest the next time an exposed individual falls asleep. The affected individual will seek out and consume a pillow, cushion, mattress, or plush toy. The subject's body will stretch to allow the swallowed object to fit. Subjects cannot typically be awakened during this process—forcing a subject to wake using chemical stimulants will end the anomalous effects, typically causing their body to burst. Once the swallowed object is fully contained in the subject's stomach, it will vanish. The subject's body will then return to its normal shape. No lasting effects on subjects have been observed. Subjects are typically unaware of what has happened aside from noticing the missing object. Addendum 5126.1: Discovery A single SCP-5126 image was uploaded to the Subreddit DeepFriedMemes on 12/3/2020. Due to the delayed effects and visual similarity to other posts on the Subreddit, Foundation webcrawlers failed to flag the image as anomalous. Following the event, an estimated 7000 people were subject to SCP-5126's effects. Account and IP data from the post were used to locate and amnesticize affected persons. Replacements were provided for objects lost to the event. Addendum 5126.2: Exploration An experiment was conducted to discover the destination of swallowed objects. D-46123 was exposed to SCP-5126. Tracking devices were placed inside all objects in his cell susceptible to the effect. D-46123's mattress was consumed and discovered to have been transported to a remote location in the state of Montana. Foundation satellites discovered a large structure composed of mattresses, cushions, and pillows (designated SCP-5126-1.) MTF-Sigma-16 "Slumber Party" was deployed to explore the structure. [BEGIN LOG] [MTF-Sigma-16 approaches SCP-5126-1. It resembles a medieval castle. The exterior of the structure is largely comprised of mattresses and large cushions, with smaller cushions and pillows used to add details such as pillars and fortifications. The main entryway is a large gateway.] Sigma-1: Command, we have visual on the structure. As suspected, it's a gigantic pillow fort. Sigma-2: Jeez, this place would've been six-year-old me's dream. How is it even holding itself up? Sigma-3: How about we find out? [Sigma-3 kicks the bottom of a stack of pillows and plush toys resembling a statue. The stack collapses before reassembling itself.] Sigma-1: Structure is reconstructing itself anomalously. Sigma-3: We can see that. Command: Don't take any chances with the structural integrity of the main building. Proceed with caution. Sigma-1: Got it. [MTF-Sigma-16 enters the structure. The entrance is a large hallway leading to a branching path. A glowing plush toy hangs from the ceiling, illuminating the room. Lining the walls are stacks of pillows arranged in vaguely humanoid shapes.] Sigma-2: Should we take our shoes off? Sigma-3: I doubt this place will care about us tracking dirt. Just wipe them off here if you're so worried about it. [Sigma-2 wipes her shoes on a mattress near the entrance while Sigma-1 and 3 walk to the end of the hallway. When the two near the end of the hall, several of the humanoid pillow stacks animate and approach Sigma-1 and 3. Each entity wields a pillow as a weapon.] Sigma-3: Command, we've got hostile entities. It appears this place is guarded by pillow people. Sigma-1: Oh hell no. [An entity swings its pillow at Sigma-1. She ducks, draws her firearm, and shoots the entity in the head. A large plume of feathers are released, but the entity appears to be unaffected. Sigma-1 discharges several more shots and uses a taser, but the entity is unimpeded. Sigma-1 continues to evade attacks.] Sigma-1: Entities show extreme resistance to damage! Command: Sigma-16, fall back! Sigma-2: Hang on, I have an idea! [Sigma-2 pulls a pillow from the wall and sprints towards the entity attacking Sigma-1. She swings the pillow at the entity. Upon contact, the entity falls apart and collapses into a pile of inanimate pillows.] Sigma-1: Huh. Okay. [Sigma-1 and 3 both pick up pillows as several more entities approach.] Sigma-3: Eat shit plush people! Sigma-2: Oh my god this is great. Sigma-1: Stay focused! We don't know how strong their attacks are- [An entity hits Sigma-1 in the face with a pillow. Nothing happens. Sigma-1 pushes the pillow off her face and spits out lint.] Sigma-1: God dammit. [MTF-Sigma-16 neutralizes the remaining entities. The room is filled with feathers, synthetic beads, and scattered pillows.] Sigma-1: …Threat neutralized. Command: Understood. Proceed into the structure. [MTF-Sigma-16 enters the rightmost passageway. They pass through several hallways and intersections. An animated plush walrus is discovered, which Sigma-2 places in her backpack for future study. The MTF spends approximately one hour exploring the structure before reaching a large room.] [Inside the room is a male human (designated SCP-5126-A.) He sits atop a large stack of cushions. He is wearing a nightcap and pajama shirt, but no pants. He is consuming feathers from a pillow of an expensive brand. The empty cases of several similar pillows are on the floor nearby.] Sigma-1: Command, we've located a human. Middle age, no pants, reeks to high hell. Command: Understood. You may attempt an interview. SCP-5126-A: Oh! Someone has passed the maze! Greetings slumber buddies! Sigma-1: Hello. You're the person who made this place? SCP-5126-A: Indeed I am! Would any of you three care for a snack? [SCP-5126-A offers a pillow.] Sigma-1: Are those feathers edible? SCP-5126-A: Hmm. I'm not sure. They certainly taste delicious! Sigma-1: I think we'll pass, then. Can you tell us what this place is, exactly? SCP-5126-A: Well. I'm sure you've heard of a pillow fort, yes? But have you ever seen… a pillow castle? [SCP-5126-A stumbles forward and holds its arms out as if presenting the structure. A single mattress detaches from the ceiling and falls to the floor nearby.] SCP-5126-A: This is my kingdom! My masterpiece! Never before has a pillow fort stood so tall! Gaze upon it's majesty and weep, weep I say! Sigma-1: I would rather not. Why did you decide to build this place, exactly? SCP-5126-A: Ever since I was a little boy, I knew. I knew that there was something special about pillows. The taste. The smell. The texture. Absolutely perfect, absolutely divine. I asked myself: Why do we even bother with anything else? Why don't we just use pillows for everything? And this? This is my answer. My kingdom of plush. My kingdom of pillows! Sigma-3: [Laughs] Holy shit this guy is insane. Sigma-1: Don't be an ass to the skip three. Sigma-2: So what's with all the people eating their beds and teleporting them here? SCP-5126-A: Oh, yes, that. You see, mattresses are expensive! If I wanted to build a castle, I was going to need to outsource. So I figured, what better way than offering people a delicious meal in exchange for their beds? Spread the word of the pillow, and gather resources for my castle. Sigma-2: Makes sense to me. Sigma-1: No it does not! SCP-5126-A: Anyway. You all did a fantastic job getting here. How would you care for a pillow fight with the King of Cushion? [SCP-5126-A picks up a pillow and sprints towards the MTF. Sigma-1 tases SCP-5126-A. He vomits a large quantity of feathers and falls unconscious.] Sigma-1: We're done here. [END LOG] [Afterword: SCP-5126-A was taken into Foundation custody. It was found to have no anomalous digestive abilities and as such required a stomach pump. SCP-5126-1 collapsed after the removal of SCP-5126-A from the site and has shown no further anomalous properties. The structure's components were moved into storage.] |
SCP-5127 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5127 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5127 is to be kept in a locked box in Site-19, under Dr. Newman's possession and should only be removed for testing by personnel Level 3 or higher. SCP-5127 is to be kept in a Standard Containment Locker, which should remain inside a locked room of Site-19. Entrance of SCP-5127's room is only allowed to authorized personnel for periodic supervisions, and these should happen no more than twice a month. Moreover, personnel should go through a psychological evaluation each time before entering and upon leaving SCP-5127's room. Description: SCP-5127 is a straw hat, adorned with red ornamentation. The object resembles a specific style of hat that is normally used during the traditional Brazilian party known as "Festa Junina" (June Festivals). SCP-5127, when worn by a human, will often cause time to dilate around the subject, making it "flow" in a slower pace to the wearer in comparison to everything else in the universe. From the perspective of any person witnessing, SCP-5127's wearers will appear to vanish. It is theorized that this effect occurs due to the different "temporal dimensions" created between the subjects involved. The extent of the alterations in the flow of time caused by SCP-5127's anomalous properties appear to always vary with each "use" of it. In addition, SCP-5127's wearers appear to be unable to remove the object from themselves for approximately two minutes after putting it on their heads. The cause of this effect is still unknown. (See SCP-5127's Test Log for details). From the perspective of SCP-5127's wearers, the aforementioned 2 minutes are extended to unknown amounts, depending on how much their flow of time was altered. While SCP-5127 isn't being worn, it doesn't appear to cause any anomalous effects in individuals. A new anomalous property of SCP-5127 was discovered during the last test done with it, the object also presented a species of mind-affecting effect, although it appears to occur in a less frequent proportion than its time related anomaly. (See Incident Log 5127-015 for more details.) Discovery: The object was acquired by the Foundation on 08/10/2017, five days after field agents were sent to investigate some unusual murder cases in the city of Poços de Caldas, Brazil. (Rumors of people getting attacked and stabbed randomly by an "invisible entity" were starting to spread around the city, which caught Foundation's attention.) The object was found in possession of a local citizen (later identified as Gabriel Silveira, a 20 years old student), who was also captured after being witnessed by an undercover agent carrying a blood tainted knife and the object. The agent stated that it witnessed the subject "manifesting itself" near a well-known tourist spot from the city. The corpse of Pedro Lopes Souza, an unemployed 23 years old local, was also located near the place 11 minutes later. Gabriel Silveira did not show any resistance against Foundation agents while being captured and has even provided important informations about the object. Subject admitted the murder of 8 civilians within the period of 1 month prior to his capture and claims to be able to control SCP-5127's anomalous properties. The veracity of the last claim remains uncertain. + Interview 5127-0001 -Hide Interviewed: Gabriel Silveira Interviewer: Dr. Newman Foreword: After being captured by the Foundation and inquired about SCP-5127, subject related that the object is a "hat that slows down the time." Based on that statement, both the object and Gabriel Silveira were sent to Dr. Newman Locke, a temporal anomalies specialist and researcher of Site-19. The following is the transcript of an interview that was conducted by Dr. Newman two days after the capture of Gabriel and the object. <Begin Log> Dr. Newman: Hello, Mr. Silveira. I am Newman Locke and I want to ask you a few questions. How are you right now? Gabriel Silveira: I am just confused… This last week was insane to say the least. At this point, I have no idea what's going on or even who are you all. At first I thought you guys were from the police, but at this point I highly doubt that. Could you please tell me who the hell are you and all those other guys who brought me here? Dr. Newman: I'm afraid I can't reveal that Mr. Silveira, but just know that we are here to help, as we are an organization meant to protect humanity from dangerous things. Although I understand that these past few days probably have been really hard and confusing for you, please focus on answering the questions for now. So my first question for you is: what is your relation to the hat and why were you carrying a knife 2 days ago in the streets of your city? Gabriel Silveira: (Subject pauses for 10 seconds before speaking.) Sure… I guess it's time to share this with somebody, it's not like I have anything to lose at this point anyway… However, I highly doubt you guys can help me in any ways… Well from where do I even begin?… Oh, the hat. The hat was a present. A special gift from an old friend of mine who… (The subject pauses briefly.) committed suicide 7 years ago. We were really close back in school and she was my best friend for sure. We used to suffer a lot of bullying back then just for being you know… quiet and weird. But she was a really amazing person that I truly miss. Dr. Newman: I see. Please tell me more about her, Mr. Silveira. Gabriel Silveira: Her name was Amanda Fernandes. Unfortunately she couldn't handle the daily pain of being judged by the whole world and her abusive parents who didn't really care about her at all, so she eventually decided to end her own life… She gave me that hat for me to use while dancing with her in a traditional party from my country, 1 year before her suicide. It was just a normal hat back then, but it meant something for us. Even though we never admitted it, I believe the hat was the symbol of a greater love that was starting to born between us… (Subject pauses and begins to cry.) Dr. Newman: It must have been a really painful experience to lose somebody so important for you Mr. Silveira, I understand that. I know that it's difficult to you, but please share the rest of this story with me. I feel like you still have a lot to say. Gabriel Silveira: (Subject wipes his tears using his shirt and starts speaking about 30 seconds after being questioned.) Alright… Thanks for your words Newman. Well, I got very depressed after her death, and became even more lonely and angry at the world. Those years were really hard to me, but somehow I kept on surviving day after day, but never really got over what happened. Then on a certain night, I had a dream with Amanda… She was just standing there on a vast green field, I can't remember seeing anything else around but her. The happiness I felt by seeing her again can't be described with words… In that dream I was unable to talk for some reason, but I wasn't too bothered by that as seeing her was enough to make me the happiest guy on Earth. I still remember clearly what she told me during that dream… Dr. Newman: So what did she tell you? Gabriel Silveira: Her words were: "Gabriel, do you still remember me? I have always loved you, but unfortunately I never had the courage to tell you this and now we will never be able to be together again… But you can still do something for me. Remember that hat I gave you years ago? I will enchant it using the strength of my love for you, and I want you to use it to make this world a better place, as I know that you have a good heart. But I want only YOU to use it, because it's only you that I have ever truly loved. I have always despised most of the humanity, so in other hands, it will only cause harm and chaos. Make sure that you take good care of it forever my love. Farewell." Then she kissed me and I suddenly woke up. After some minutes processing everything, I concluded that it was obviously just a normal dream, but still, something made me get the hat that was somewhere in the depths of my wardrobe and put it on my head. I didn't feel anything different in the beginning, but some moments after it, I looked at the clock of my room and… It was frozen! At that point I was getting really confused, so I decided to talk with my mother about it, I walked to the kitchen while still wearing the hat and that was when I realized that something was deeply wrong. My mother was paralyzed right there in front me… Not only her, but even the water drops from the kitchen's tap were frozen in time and space, stopped, almost as if the whole world was a game and the person playing it clicked the "pause" button. The only thing that was able to still move normally was me. That was when I figured out that it was really her during the dream. She somehow gave me that power. Dr. Newman: Thats a really unique story Mr. Silveira, but it's not something that easy to believe, don't you agree? I'll give you the benefit of doubt since you have been cooperating with us so far. But there are still certain things I need to know. How long ago did this happen and what have you been doing since you got this power? Also you still haven't explained about that blood tainted knife you were carrying. I need to know the truth, so please tell me everything you can remember. Gabriel Silveira: Yes, I am aware that this is something really unbelievable, but if there's something I have never been in my life, it's a liar, so I hope you can trust me Newman and I am grateful for that. It happened 2 months ago, and I decided to keep it a secret, especially because I thought she wouldn't want me to tell others about it. So I came back to my room, took the hat off and tried to learn how it worked. I did some tests and realized that I was able to control how much it affected the flow of time around me. So at first, I started using it for things like saving some people who were being bullied in my university, and pranking some annoying guys, nothing really drastic. Honestly that was all I've done during the first 4 weeks after getting this power, since I was still trying to figure out how to use it to "make this world a better place", as she wanted. But then around a month ago, when I was coming back home from university, I saw and recognized the group of guys who used to bully and annoy her daily, they were just talking and having fun near the center of the city. It seemed like they were still the same group of friends even after all of these years, and just seeing them made me feel really angry, because they were the main reason why Amanda decided to end her own life. Then I used the hat to get near and hear what they were talking about and that was when I lost my mind… They were making fun of a person who committed suicide in our city a few days ago! Those idiots were laughing and saying things like "to be honest, the world just got better without that clown, nobody will miss that stupid loser." That was when I decided to go after and… kill each one of them. "THAT is how I will make this world a better place" is what I thought at that moment. So I followed them and learned about their routines and where they lived. Each week I went after 2 of them, and used the hat to make the job easier. Didn't really care about hiding the corpses as I wasn't really afraid of getting caught, plus I wanted everybody to know that those stupid motherfuckers were gone forever. Sorry, but every time I remember them I get too pissed off… But yeah, thats about it. (Subject becomes silent at this point). Dr. Newman: I see. Thanks for sharing this with me, Mr. Silveira. However, you did something really grave. Do you think that Amanda would have approved what you've done? Also, I suppose you could very well have escaped from us using the hat. It seems like you basically turned yourself to us. What were your motives behind this? Gabriel Silveira: Well… I am just regretting it now. I am sure that she wouldn't have approved what I did… After I killed Pedro 2 days ago, I began to be consumed by a strong feeling of guilt, so I decided to let the police capture me, but seems like you guys found me instead. Right now, I'm wishing that the hat could also take me back in time, so I would have tried harder to control myself and my anger… But I have no excuses, since I can't fix my mistakes, I at least want to pay for my crimes. You guys can do whatever you want with me. Thanks for hearing my story Newman, you seem to be a good person. But hey, at this point who am I to judge who is "good" or who is "bad"? (Subject starts laughing to himself.) Dr. Newman: I understand, but you don't need to thank me Gabriel, as I'm just doing my job. We will take care of the hat from now on. You will be conducted to one of our cells and remain there until further notice. Maybe in the future you can be useful for us in some way. <End Log> Closing Statement: After the interview, Gabriel Silveira was conducted to a standard cell of Site-19 while the object remained under Dr. Newman's possession. Afterwards, Foundation personnel contacted and visited subject's mother, Larissa Silveira, in order to confirm the statements of Gabriel during the interview. She confirmed that her son indeed has suffered from bullying and depression since his childhood, but stated that she can't remember anything about "Amanda Fernandes" or SCP-5127. Larissa also refuses to believe that her son would be able to murder anyone. She was treated with amnestics after the visit. Despite Foundation's best efforts, the existence of "Amanda Fernandes" could never be confirmed. + Incident Log 5127-015 - Hide Incident 5127-015 The Incident 5127-015 occurred on 09/07/2019, during the last test done with SCP-5127. Three Class-D personnel were instructed to enter the testing chamber where SCP-5127 was being held. The object was on a table, inside an unlocked box. D-23502 opened the door and entered the room together with D-14628 and D-58016. D-23502 was ordered to open the box and put SCP-5127 on its own head. Thirty minutes after the test began, D-23502 was instructed to remove SCP-5127 and the agents opened the door of the room in order to check the results of the experiment. They found the 3 subjects dead, D-23502 was in an advanced state of decomposition, while all that was left of D-14628 and D-58016 was their bone structure and some remains of their flesh spread through their skeleton and on the floor. SCP-5127 was also on the floor next to the subject. Moments after entering the room, agent Edward Shawn, one of the 2 personnel supposed to ask questions to the subjects and return the object to its containment, started moving towards SCP-5127 while staring at it, grabbed the object and tried to wear it, however, he got stopped by his companion agent Nick Lambert before doing so. When questioned about what happened there, he said that the only thing he was able to remember is that "the object was calling him." Afterwards, agent Edward Shawn was temporarily removed from his position, as he was diagnosed with clinical depression and his symptoms increased significantly after the incident. Edward also states that he currently feels "confused" and claims often: "It feels like I forgot something important from my own past." The agent still hasn't been fully recovered since the incident and remains unable to work, mostly due to a constant lack of focus. It is also theorized that the reason why the 3 Class-D personnel involved died during the experiment, was due to the drastic alteration in the flow of time to D-23502. Subject possibly attacked and ate the other 2 Class-D personnel while they were still alive. Since it couldn't remove the object from itself, D-23502 eventually died as well, due to lack of water and food. Addendum 1: SCP-5127 was re-classified from Safe to Euclid on 08/10/2019. Its Special Containment Procedures were also updated. Addendum 2: The realization of experiments involving SCP-5127 was prohibited by the Site Director since 11/24/2019. According to it, this decision was taken due to the extremely high risk of a Class-D personnel escaping during the experiment. In such case, the Foundation wouldn't be able to prevent it in time, due to the effects of SCP-5127. Addendum 3: Due to the progressive increase of SCP-5127's anomalous properties since its containment, Dr. Newman sent on 11/07/2020 a request to the Site Director requiring permission for Gabriel Silveira to participate in tests and possibly other uses of the object as a way to help Foundation personnel on their duties. Moreover, Newman believes that this could possibly lessen the danger represented by SCP-5127, considering that what Gabriel Silveira stated during its interview was factual. The request got denied, since it was deemed as "too risky" by the Site Director. However, considering the effects of SCP-5127 over agent Edward Shawn in the past, more tests using Class-D personnel in order to confirm its capacity to affect, alter, remove and perhaps even insert false memories into humans is being considered. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5127" by Lucas667, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5128 | keter | Item #: SCP-5128 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5128 is currently uncontained. It is currently unknown if it is possible to contain SCP-5128. There is no consensus on whether it should be contained or not, either. Description: SCP-5128 is defined as the theoretical source of all anomalous behavior. There is much debate within the Foundation about what SCP-5128 is and what it is not, and on whether it should be researched or not. Below are essays from the main researchers assigned to the study of SCP-5128 (and some other researchers of the Foundation) and their personal opinions and hypotheses on the subject. Information on current research on SCP-5128 is currently restricted to Level 4 Research personnel. + Manifesto for the Investigation of the Source of Anomalous Behavior, by Dr. Cindi van Veenen - Manifesto for the Investigation of the Source of Anomalous Behavior, by Dr. Cindi van Veenen Manifesto for the Investigation of the Source of Anomalous Behavior Dr. Cindi van Veenen The SCP Foundation was founded on a basic principle: Secure, Contain and Protect anomalies. While it still does so, during the years following its inception it also branched into another, equally important, branch: that of research. A branch that emerged out of necessity: if we know what we are dealing with, it is easier to contain it. Many of the greatest minds of this planet have been gathered into the Foundation in order to know more about the anomalies we have discovered, and many excellent publications have come from out of it. But, still, it seems we have gotten nowhere. Yes, I know, we have had many breakthroughs in thaumaturgy, theurgy and even reality- and time-altering technology since we begun researching into those topics. We know how many things work, while some still remain a mystery. I am not denying that. I recognize the importance of those achievements. But, coming from a physics background, I cannot help but wonder: Why haven’t we tried to figure out why all that works? For some reason, whenever I tried to start a discussion with some of my peers in the subject, I was answered with ridicule. Do you all really think this is so far-fetched to think about? That it is impossible to figure out the nature of the anomalies? To discover the underlying rules that make them come to existence? Or do you merely think that they are all result of our universe (or the whole of the multi-verse, for that matter) just being simply irrational? Well, I present you this: if it is so irrational, how can people (humans, just like us) have figured out how to use it, intentionally, in order to create anomalies themselves? Look at Anderson Robotics, Gamers Against Weed, and many others. There are factories of anomalous objects. We have the best minds of science right here and we still haven’t gotten close to that level of reality-altering power. Why? As we still are much more focused on analyzing SCPs and their properties rather than trying to answer questions of such importance, I will then word those questions in a different way: Just think this through with me: there is something, somewhere, somehow, that is what makes such anomalies possible. What is it? How it works? Why it exists? I don’t have a clue. But there are some things that I know for certain about it: 1. It exists; 2. It follows rules; 3. It is responsible for all anomalies that we know and not know of; 4. It is itself anomalous. As it is itself anomalous (and couldn’t be otherwise, as if it wasn’t it would be easily explainable through Physics and whatnot), I am formally requesting that it be designated an SCP number, and therefore, that it be analyzed, studied, and researched just like any other entity would be. The document above was posted in Dr. van Veenen's personal webpage in the Foundation intranet as well as intranet forums and chat rooms available to researchers that she and other colleagues that support her have access to. Shortly after posting, she formally requested an SCP number for the anomaly she described, backed by a 356-page thesis. It was approved by the O5 Council and designated SCP-5128, with Dr. van Veenen appointed as Head Researcher. Its research has been allocated to Site-76. + Base Questionings of SCP-5128 and Its Functioning, by Dr. Nikita Yoshida - Base Questionings of SCP-5128 and Its Functioning, by Dr. Nikita Yoshida Base Questionings of SCP-5128 and Its Functioning Dr. Nikita Yoshida It should already be clear that anomalies follow some basic rules. There seem to be exceptions for such rules, but that just means that we haven't extracted the underlying axioms from the rules we have superficially uncovered. Some anomalies have clearly originated from an event of great emotional intensity, especially from suffering. One that comes to mind is SCP-1518: the horrors of the Bosnian genocide, particularly in the event described, were sufficient to turn a common object into a Keter-class anomaly. It seems to have been created spontaneously. However, there is also the possibility that at least one of the people being killed possessed the ability to create anomalies or was anomalous themselves. That, of course, also raises some questions: what made them anomalous? What was the first anomaly? How was it created? If there is a source, it must certainly be SCP-5128, whatever it is. Still, emotion isn't the only source, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to willingly create anomalous objects or even anomalous humanoids. Or even for some anomalies to exist spontaneously (or even, “naturally”). Where did SCP-343 come from, for example? Is it really the Abrahamic God? Did it create the universe, as Christians believes, or was the belief in him that gave it life? If we believe hard enough in something, does it come to life? As much as I like to think about SCP-5128, I fear that, until we reach a basic agreement on how it works, any reflection upon its behavior is bound to raise many more questions than answers. + SCP-5128 Highlights the Need for Alternative Approaches, by Dr. Damianos Alvey - SCP-5128 Highlights the Need for Alternative Approaches, by Dr. Damianos Alvey SCP-5128 Highlights the Need for Alternative Approaches Dr. Damianos Alvey As much as I understand the scientific approach the Foundation has, I cannot help but think that it may be the wrong approach. Think about this: Marshall, Carter, Dark, the boys and girls of Gamers Against Weed, the entire Are We Cool Yet?, these people aren't scientists. Yet, they are able to create anomalies as if it was as easy as, I don't know, making a chemical reaction. The scientific analysis may work to discover better ways to contain anomalies, but it may not be the correct approach to understand anomalies. Don't get me wrong: the scientific method is a great way to interpret the world around us. But I fear that trying to explain everything we see through conventional Physics, Chemistry and Biology is not the correct approach. We need to resort to unconventional means of analysis. While, of course, remaining scientific. For example, the property of SCP-5128 that Dr. Yoshida mentioned, of anomalies being created through sheer emotional strength, is something that has already been studied by occultists for years, and most of them are not even aware of the full range of possibilities of anomalous properties. Aleister Crowley, for example, developed the concept of magick as: "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will". And indeed, many of the things we see could easily be described by the layman as being "magical", "witchcraft", even "demoniacal". Or maybe Plato was right: there is such a thing as a "World of Forms", and we just need to tap into it in order to create what we want through our consciousness. I mean, considering that we have evidence of the existence (in some shape or form) of some Greek gods and mythological creatures, as well as gods from other cultures, it raises the question of what did the Ancient Greek philosophers really know when they proposed their theories. If anomalies were commonplace at the time, they wouldn't really be treated as being anomalous, would they? They would expect the reader to know about their existence already. However, what I want to say with this rant is that we should approach this with a mind as open as possible. We cannot explain enough about the anomalies we currently contain (or at least that we know that exist) in order to affirm with certainty that the approach we are taking is necessarily the best one. Every form of knowledge is valid and valuable, and should not be discarded or ridiculed merely due to the current "scientific consensus". + Further Explanations on the Theoretical Model of SCP-5128, by Dr. Keeva Rademacher - Further Explanations on the Theoretical Model of SCP-5128, by Dr. Keeva Rademacher Further Explanations on the Theoretical Model of SCP-5128 Dr. Keeva Rademacher If it is time to raise points, I think I will be raising some more. I approve of Dr. van Veenen's approach to the matter and the initiative she to took to make sure it is approached with the necessary seriousness. But for the sake of logical rigor, I feel the need to make some things clear. First, SCP-5128 is, as of yet, purely theoretical. I cannot deny its existence, as there must be something dictating the creation and reproduction of anomalous entities. However, we have no means to speculate what exactly it is, or even if it exists in a way that our little brains can conceive in some way. Having any knowledge of it in any form may be an infohazard for all we know. Second, we do not know if SCP-5128 is one. That is, we do not know if there is a single entity (or whatever) that governs over it all, or if there are multiple entities, each "in charge" of a different aspect of anomalous behavior, and with different properties. We do not know if it’s some kind of "energy", a fundamental particle of matter, or anything of the like. Third, we cannot correctly define SCP-5128's object class without knowing what it is. I understand Dr. van Veenen's decision of defining it as Thaumiel, as knowing how anomalies "work" would make it much easier to contain them. However, this assumes that it is not sentient, for example. If it is, it could very well be Euclid, Keter, or even Apollyon for all we know. Fourth: if we can discover how it works, is it really an anomaly? If anomalies are entities which deviate from what we define as normal, wouldn't knowing the inner workings of anomalies and how to create them force us to change our definition of normal? Wouldn’t thaumaturgy, theurgy and such become a science like any other? Again, I do not want to question the questioning of the Foundation's status quo and van Veenen's approach to the subject, but those are some facts about the matter that we cannot ignore. + A Waste of Valuable Resources, by Dr. Ivo O'Niall - A Waste of Valuable Resources, by Dr. Ivo O'Niall A Waste of Valuable Resources Dr. Ivo O'Niall Honestly, the more I think about it, there more I come to the conclusion that it is a waste of time. Here is the current situation: the Foundation is an organization dedicated to protecting mankind from powers beyond its control, and also to protect anomalies from falling into the wrong hands. This is crucial to the survival of humanity, considering the level of threat that some anomalies have. Just think about SCP-1425 and how hard it was to contain it, even considering how lucky we were. And now, Dr. van Veenen is trying to divert valuable manpower and resources to study an anomaly that, as Dr. Rademacher describe very well, is purely theoretical. That is: we do not know if it exists. A purely logical approach to the subject should not be enough to warrant its allocation of an SCP number and a research team dedicated to it. We are scientists, not philosophers. We do not deal with the imaginary, with the ideal. We deal with evidence. We deal with facts. With analysis. With data. Because we have a whole world to protect. And soon, more than one. The life of an entire species depends on us, and resources are limited. I respect the Council's decision on the matter, but I honestly think that it was not the correct one. In a scientific facility, decisions should be based on facts and data rather than rhetoric and sophistry. + SCP-5128: A Search for the Truth, by Dr. Racław Leitzke - SCP-5128: A Search for the Truth, by Dr. Racław Leitzke SCP-5128: A Search for the Truth Dr. Racław Leitzke A bit of idealism hurts no one. In fact, some times it is even helpful. We need dreamers in order to figure out how to expand the boundaries of our knowledge, and find out what to go after. I'm not saying Dr. van Veenen's vision is a result of an unrealistic interpretation of the world. In fact, having read her thesis, I can say with certainty that she knows exactly what she is doing. She noticed many factors common to the anomalous and non-anomalous worlds and discovered that there must be something behind them, and laid down the ground for more study on it. I think we scientists, after years of working on the same things, doing the same procedures, and thinking mostly in same way, tend to be a bit too stuck to what we do, and to what we know and consider to be true. After some time, we tend to forget what really is Science. Science is about finding the truth. Much like Philosophy, although we don't tend to capitalize "truth". We have our own way of going after it, and it involves data, tests, experiments, control groups, and similar procedures. But it also involves formulating hypotheses, and defending them. I understand Dr. O'Niall's worries about this endeavor, but I’d like to remind him that, since humans started discovering and describing patterns in the world, they also tried to formulate and test a "Theory of Everything", the one theory that would be able to describe how everything works. After centuries working on it, we still haven’t reached it. But that never stopped us from trying. Because that is what Science is about: going after the truth. And in our case, the truth is that one theoretical thing (or set of things) governs how our world works. And from the looks of it, SCP-5128, whatever it is, may be an integral part of it. + Cross-testing is Currently Restricted for a Very Good Reason, Dr. Lillie Palmeiro - Cross-testing is Currently Restricted for a Very Good Reason, Dr. Lillie Palmeiro Cross-testing is Currently Restricted for a Very Good Reason Dr. Lillie Palmeiro Although I understand the nature of this research, I think prematurely considering it "Thaumiel" is a bit of hubris on our part. Why? Because it assumes that we will be able to control it, and use it according to our will in order to more easily contain other anomalies. While my wishful thinking makes me really want that to be the case, a realistic approach would see that current evidence points against it. After all, has any GoI or PoI encountered by the Foundation that is able to create anomalies at will shown rational and ethical behavior that conform to their societies' standards? Gamers Against Weed are a bunch of inconsequential children, Are We Cool Yet? is completely anti-ethical, arrogant and self-centered, and don't get me started on Wondertainment. I do not know if they fully understand what SCP-5128 is or not, but the relationship between anomalous behavior and irrational behavior is too obvious to ignore. We cannot let our optimism and expectations get the best of us when testing our findings (even if theoretical) and do something stupid like try to neutralize SCP-682 at the first sign of something that just might work. Containment breaches are a reality, are serious, and they involve unacceptable loss of valuable personnel and resources. Also, researchers assigned to it should take care not to let it get to their heads. As SCP-5128 is something that (apparently) cannot kill you if you do something stupid, the "privilege" of working on it, along with the importance it is taking thanks to Dr. van Veenen, is bound to create tensions among researchers, as there some that do risk their lives everyday by researching and containing extremely deadly anomalies. Dr. Palmeiro requested that the object class be changed to "Unknown" in order to prevent that misunderstanding. O5-██: Request denied. Research will be closely followed and request for cross-testing will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Thaumiel classification is currently deemed appropriate enough for the theoretical capabilities of SCP-5128. + SCP Means "Special Containment Procedures", by Dr. Grigoriy Schwangau - SCP Means "Special Containment Procedures", by Dr. Grigoriy Schwangau SCP Means "Special Containment Procedures" Dr. Grigoriy Schwangau As much as I enjoy a good philosophical sparring, we must not forget why we are all part of the SCP Foundation: to Secure, Contain and Protect. While I agree that lack of proper knowledge on SCP-5128 prevents us from developing specific containment procedures for it, I feel that we are already able to agree on some basic principles. First of all: knowledge that it exists should be kept hidden from the public. But that should be obvious, as it is an anomaly. Groups and Persons of Interest should also not come into contact with the possibility of its existence (if they do not know about it already in some way, of course). That also means that research on it should not be available to all personnel, lest the Chaos Insurgency or other groups that may be infiltrated in the Foundation get knowledge of it. If the reality-altering capabilities of someone with full knowledge of SCP-5128 end up being limitless (as I imagine they are), this can lead us to any number of K-class scenarios. As such, I will request that preliminary data regarding it be restricted to Level 4 Research Personnel and above. O5-██: Request approved. Research personnel that want access to the data should get in contact with Dr. van Veenen. +++ PRELIMINARY DATA AVAILABLE ONLY TO RESEARCH PERSONNEL OF LEVEL 4 AND ABOVE +++ CREDENTIALS APPROVED Below is a selection of key scientific articles on the research of SCP-5128. For more information, refer to Head Researcher Dr. Cindi van Veenen. On the Classification of Anomalies With Regards to Their Origin Foundation Journal of SCP-5128 Edition 001-02 Dr. Cindi van Veenen, Head Researcher Dr. Keeva Rademacher, Senior Researcher Related Objects of Study: SCP-1518 Abstract This article takes a more detailed approach upon the problem of categorization of anomalies with regards to the process that led to their creation. This matter was already tackled by Dr. Yoshida in a previous paper, leading to a division between "natural" and "non-natural" anomalous phenomena. This article deals with the possible communication problems surrounding the use of the term "natural" when applied to anomalous entities and proposes a more detailed system of classification of the same nature. Keywords: classification, origin, theoretical. I. Introduction The origin of anomalies is one of the main problems that led to the idealization and research on SCP-5128. The existence of a source of anomalous phenomena that is guided by laws, in a similar way to physics, and the better understanding of it could lead to the creation of more effective containment procedures to the anomalous entities and objects currently known by the Foundation, as the containment procedures that depend on materials currently understood through non-anomalous means sometimes lead to extensive, resource-intensive and sometimes impossible procedures. As the need to understand SCP-5128 is of great importance to the Foundation, and no single approach has currently been observed as the more appropriate one, many have been created and are being explored concomitantly. One of them is the analysis of anomalies created by sapient beings, and discovery of the means used by them in order to achieve their results, as well as the comparison between intended and actual results, if it applies. However, in order to properly study anomalies created by sapient beings, there needs to be a system of classification that is able to properly classify anomalies according to their origin, as well as to develop sub-classifications that permit one to properly compare anomalies with regards to the process that led to their creation. Laying the foundation to that, Dr. Yoshida created a initial classification system which consisted on separating anomalies as "natural ones" and "non-natural ones" [1]. However, such system is insufficient for the purposes of SCP-5128, and as such needs to be modified and expanded. II. The Term "Natural" While SCP-5128 seems, indeed, to have been originated "naturally" (that is, spontaneously), using the term "natural" in a system of classification of anomalies may lead to confusion, as the term is currently tied to our concept of normality. That is, what is natural is considered to be normal, and what is normal is considered to be natural. And anomalies and anomalous phenomena are, therefore, considered "unnatural". Although this is an artifact of colloquial speech, and shouldn't have place in a scientific discussion, the problem of causing unclear communication is undeniable and should be dealt with. As the classification system is not being widely used, this article proposes, instead of "natural" and "non-natural", the use of "spontaneous" and "non-spontaneous", respectively, in which a "spontaneous" anomaly is one not created by sapient entities, and a "non-spontaneous", one created by sapient entities, just the same. III. Expansion of the Classification System Although being able to clearly classify anomalies is ideal, it is not always possible. As such, when the origin of an anomaly is unknown, or impossible to clearly know, it should be classified as "Indeterminate". Similarly, there are some entities that seem to fall between being spontaneously and non-spontaneously created. One such entity is SCP-1518: from the documents acquired, no “rituals” or any form of intentional creation of the anomaly seem to have taken place. It apparently was created "spontaneously" by the "will" of the people involved. However, one must pay attention to the definition when classifying anomalies: "spontaneous", in this context, means "not created by sapient entities". Intentionality, as such, is irrelevant in this case, meaning SCP-1518, for example, is classifiable as "non-spontaneous". That analysis also leads us to a subdivision of the classification system: "non-spontaneous" entities can be further classified as: Intentional: created by sapient beings who had the intention of creating an anomaly; Accidental: created by sapient beings who did not have the intention of creating an anomaly. As we currently do not have a complete survey of methods used for the creation of anomalies (both intentional and accidental), we still cannot have a complete classification of them in that regard. Similarly to the analysis of who created the anomaly, there can also be a parallel classification based on the “raw material” used to structure the anomaly. On that matter, they can classified as: Modified: a non-anomalous living being or an object from our universe and time was given anomalous characteristics; Summoned: the anomaly is not original from this dimension or time. This classification can be further subdivided as: Original: the anomaly was created completely by its creator; Extradimensional: the anomaly comes from another dimension; Extratemporal: the anomaly comes from another time frame or timeline. Obviously, summoned anomalies can also be further modified when brought to our universe. This classification also assumes extraterrestrial life to not be anomalous by default, as their existence has already been accepted by normal science. Anomalous entities can also be classified based on their abilities, such as "reality-altering", "time-altering", and such. However, that list is much more extensive and is still being compiled, while also not being the focus of this article. IV. Conclusion This article proposes the following parallel classification systems: Non-spontaneous Intentional Accidental Spontaneous with regards to the agent that created the anomaly, and Summoned Original Extradimensional Extratemporal Modified with regards to the materials used to create them. Like Dr. Yoshida's classification, this is still a basic system, designed with the intent of creating a foundation for a more complete system of classification. However, it already is a considerable improvement on its predecessor, and can also better guide research on the anomalies currently being analyzed by the SCP-5128 Research Team.

Analysis of the Concept of "Trade-Off" in the Creation of Anomalies Foundation Journal of SCP-5128 Edition 001-05 Dr. Nikita Yoshida, Senior Researcher Related Objects of Study: SCP-4486, SCP-2658, SCP-248, SCP-4239, SCP-1610, SCP-1853, SCP-2687, SCP-1609, SCP-1875, SCP-1800, SCP-1226, SCP-4124 Related Groups of Interest: The Factory, Gamers Against Weed, Prometheus Labs, Are We Cool Yet?, Dr. Wondertainment Abstract This article provides an introductory analysis on the application of the concept of "trade-off", especially as it is used in the field of Economics, as a way to explain some of the aspects involved in the creation of anomalies. A survey of some anomalies the Foundation has cataloged which exemplify those aspects is made, and some hypotheses are raised regarding some possible aspects of "trade-offing", its necessity and side-effects. Keywords: trade-off, theoretical, thaumaturgy. I. Introduction Reports gathered by the Foundation throughout the years indicate that some anomalies have been created through ritualistic means. That is, through a specific procedure that is able to create a specific anomaly, commonly taught by someone else or found within a book that details procedures of that kind. Those rituals commonly involve the use of non-anomalous resources, and sometimes the use of anomalous ones, in order to create the desired anomaly. This use of resources for anomalous gains is commonly called "sacrifice". When two qualities, characteristics or aspects have an inversely proportional relationship between each other, it is said that improving on one involves the "trade-off" of diminishing the other [1]. This relationship is observed in many scientific fields, such as Evolutionary Biology, Computer Science, Medicine, as well as in Ethics and even in games. However, the concept is central to the field of Economics, in which it is used to explain how people use the resources available to them and how resources are allocated throughout supply chains worldwide. In Economics, the term "trade-off" is used to represent the daily problem of allocating resources faced by every consumer: how to allocate time, money, food, among others, such as to maximize returns? Using money and time for entertainment may result in better mental health (even if temporarily), but also means that there will be less money and time available for other uses, such as investments, food and water, bills, and even for other types of entertainment. That is, using resources for one end prevents using such resources for other ends. II. Rituals and Sacrifices The most visible aspect where the concept of trade-off applies with regards to anomalies is in the process of its creation. The use of premade procedures (commonly called "rituals") learned by someone else or through books dedicated to the topic, such as the ones said to be present at the so-called "Wanderer's Library". SCP-4486 is one notable example. Rituals are the most simple and also complete example of trade-offs, as it involves trading a resource (which could be used for other ends) for another resource. This kind of trade tends to follow the philosophy of "high risk, high reward". That is, if successful, the subject may be in possession of immeasurable anomalous power. However, not all rituals lead to the result intended by the subject. Others may have unclear wording, leading to unexpected results (SCP-963 is a notable example). And there is always the risk of unintended side-effects. Analogously, there are also cases of "low risk, low reward", where low-stake rituals tend to lead to safer, much less powerful anomalies. III. Side-effects Another aspect where the concept of trade-off can be applied is to extended use. Anomalous entities discovered by the Foundation sometimes display some effects that were likely not intended by their creators, that is, side-effects. SCPs 2658, 248, 4239, 1610, 1853 and 2687 are some of those. Those side-effects are normally related in some way to the expected behavior of the anomaly, and can range in strength from being mostly harmless to being able to create a K-class scenario. SCP-2658's is that it can affect collectors of items other than Magic: the Gathering cards. SCP-4239 can retroactively change time. SCP-248 affects degradation along with efficiency (may or may not be a side-effect, considering the other anomalies created by "The Factory" Group of Interest). SCP-1610 creates humans without sentience or sapience, but that vocalize phrases related to the stage of testing they were being put through at the time, causing sympathy among their researchers. SCP-1853 makes users addicted to competition. SCP-2687 instances degrade back to their initial state over time. SCP-1875 is sentient and can affect computers and networks, even though they did not exist at the time of its creation. Sometimes side-effects may even occur as a result of improper use, as is the case with SCP-1609. Most of the examples given above seem to be the result of amateurism, and can be seen, for example, in other anomalies created by the "Prometheus Labs" Group of Interest and the "Gamers Against Weed" Group of Interest, as the first consists of a scientific research group that also investigates the creation of anomalies, while the other consists of anomalous young people (or people with access to information on established rituals). Thus, there is a trade-off between immediacy and quality: one needs to devote time to practice the creation of anomalies in order to generate less side-effects. The last two examples of side-effects are notably unpredictable and manifested only when present in a situation in which they were not designed to be present in. With this in mind, it may be necessary to raise the hypothesis that side-effects are ever-present in anomalies, although they may not manifest initially, but they can be lowered in amount and intensity provided the creator has sufficient experience in creating anomalies. That is, when creating an anomaly, you are trading safety (that is, the safety of dealing with easily-understood materials and concepts) for power (as anomalies may have an infinity of reality- and time-altering effects, among others). IV. Mental Health Effects One of the hypotheses that can be raised from the observation of side-effects and rituals is the effect on an individual's mental health, which may itself be caused by the ability to create anomalies. The "Are We Cool Yet?" Group of Interest, for example, is a loose group of anomalous individuals that seem to have a certain ease at creating anomalies, as the purpose of the group is creating anomalous art (that is, "anart"). However, unlike non-anomalous artists, the members of Are We Cool Yet? Seem to display a complete disregard for human life, and see non-anomalous humans as just another raw material for their artistic objects and performances, as exemplified by SCP-1800, SCP-1226, and SCP-4124, instead prioritizing their own self-expression. Something analogous can be said of Group of Interest "Dr. Wondertainment", as exemplified by the "Little Misters" series. As such, it also raises the hypothesis that one of the side-effects of mastering the creation of anomalies is decreasing rationality. That is, as one becomes more experienced in creating anomalies, one also acquires new, less reasonable perspectives that consider it appropriate to negatively affect humanity in many different ways, even if their goals consist on improving humanity in one way or another (as Are We Cool Yet? aims to create "meaningful art" and Dr. Wondertainment aims to create "toys"). There is a trade-off between anomalous "power" and rationality. V. Conclusion Despite the Foundation's lack of complete reports on the many different aspects and facets of the creation of anomalies, the little information we have allows us to extrapolate a more complete picture of it. For example, even though anomalies can completely defy non-anomalous Physics, Chemistry, Biology and other scientific fields, some rules that apply to them can also be applied to the study of anomalies, more specifically the study of SCP-5128, meaning that the trade-off model, as it is applied to Economics, may be applied to it without many modifications on the abstract level (as on the practical level, we currently lack any information on “exchange rates” and any kind of relationships between resources and results).

Taming the Beast: the Abstractions of SCP-5128 Foundation Journal of SCP-5128 Edition 002-01 Dr. Damianos Alvey, Senior Researcher Related Groups of Interest: Are We Cool Yet?, Global Occult Coalition, Church of the Broken God, Sarkicism Abstract Many of the groups of interest identified and monitored by the Foundation exhibit unique ways of creating anomalies, each one with its advantages and disadvantages. Following the assumption that SCP-5128 is the source of all anomalies, including the ones the groups of interests created through their own means, this paper proposes that each of those unique sets of methods and procedures are actually abstractions of SCP-5128 made to facilitate its use, and as a result, also have their own limitations. Keywords: thaumaturgy, Flow, abstraction, anomalous art. I. Introduction In Computer Science, abstraction is the name given to the process of hiding information in order to create simpler interaction patterns [1]. For example, machine code is the name given to set of bits which are received, linearly, by the computer’s processor and which are able to make the processor execute preprogrammed procedures by interacting with other computer components, especially memory. However, programming bit-by-bit is extremely difficult and time-intensive. To circumvent those difficulties, it was transformed into a series of short commands which could be directed to memory locations to perform operations on them. That is, Assembly code. It abstracted the sequence of bits into commands there were more human-readable. Over time, it also proved to be cumbersome, so from it came other programming languages which added more layers of abstraction and were easier to use. However, increasing abstraction comes with a trade-off: lower performance, lower control of memory, lower flexibility, along with a higher propensity for bugs present in implementations. In order to give space for the higher-level abstractions, comes the need to implement the compiler (or interpreter) in bulkier, more general, and more robust ways, meaning the resulting machine code ends up bigger. Some languages also come with built-in garbage collection or needs to use an interpreter, which are themselves additional programs, and as such, can have their own problems (aside from using more resources), and the user is sometimes unable to debug them themselves. Although the nature and laws of SCP-5128 are not currently understood (to the Foundation's knowledge, by no one), many groups and people have managed to find ways to use its "powers" in order to create anomalies, many of which we currently contain, such as through the use of "rituals" and similar procedures. This article intends raise a theory on how it is possible to create such anomalies while not knowing that SCP-5128 even exists in the form that we think of it. II. Flow One such way to create anomalies that we currently have some understanding of is through "Flow". In Psychology, the flow state is described as a state in which a person becomes fully immersed in an activity, to the point of losing sense of time, while also doing it to the best of their abilities, without feeling fatigue or other symptoms related to intense activity [2]. In the field of Anomalous Art, however, Flow describes a similar effect, but that also allows one to give anomalous characteristics to otherwise non-anomalous artwork. This allows one to create such things as objects that can move and think without Biological organs and paintings which can be entered and easily manipulated. Flow is probably one of the methods of creation of anomalous objects that the Foundation has the most knowledge on, as it is also one of the easiest. However, it also is one of the least "powerful" in regards to what it can do, in accordance with Dr. Yoshida's Theory of Trade-off [3]. Its use is mainly limited to the creation of works of anomalous art, and is used mostly by the "Are We Cool Yet?" Group of Interest. Due to those properties, it can be interpreted as a "high-level" abstraction of SCP-5128: it hides SCP-5128's true form, while providing an interface that is simple to use and to understand, although it comes at the cost of having severe limitations. There have been no recorded instances of it being able to create weapons, for example, although some of the works they created have deadly effects or side-effects. Those works, however, also tend to be created by individuals with a less rational perspective on life and humanity, also following the Theory of Trade-off, and there is also the possibility of them being made using or in combination with other anomalous means. III. Global Occult Coalition's Approach From what the Foundation gathered from the "Global Occult Coalition" Group of Interest (GOC), they recognize the existence of an anomalous energy denominated "EVE" that is emitted by every living being in different amounts. The more you emit per second, the more easily you can alter reality. Measurable levels of EVE lead to the so-called "Aspect Radiation", which they are able to measure through three axes: Hue, Pitch, and Weave, which they then use to classify anomalies and anomalous humanoids. This is probably one of the most general perspectives on the creation of anomalies, as EVE is said to be able to lead to any kind of anomalous behavior and reality-altering effects. It can be interpreted as being an empiric concept analogous to SCP-5128, but the Foundation's reports also indicate that the GOC has been unable to fully understand EVE. As the group's objective is mostly to obtain and terminate anomalies, rather than create them, this knowledge has been used to detect and classify anomalous entities using their VERITAS system. Due to its characteristics, it may be interpreted as a "low-level" abstraction of SCP-5128. It is much harder to understand and to use (much like SCP-5128 probably is), however, it can lead to a very wide range of reality-altering abilities and to the creation of anomalies of any type. IV. Thaumaturgy Thaumaturgical procedures (that is, rituals) may be considered a "mid-term" between Flow and the GOC's approach. It allows a much wider range of possibilities for reality-altering effects and the creation of anomalies, but the rituals don't tend to agree on a single "origin" for the anomalies they create. In fact, there are multiple thaumatological sects, each with their specialties and limitations. "The Church of the Broken God" Group of Interest, for example, tends to be limited to creating anomalous machinery and automatons, and considers the source of their abilities to be The Broken God. "Sarkicism" Group of Interest, on the other hand, specializes on the use of organic material (specially human), and their abilities derive from Yaldabaoth. Similarly, other sects with other systems of beliefs attribute the source of anomalous behaviors to their deities, and have similar limitations. Thaumathurgy would then be a "mid-level" abstraction, as it is a mid-term between the two forms decribed above: it is both limited and flexible, as it is limitless within the scope it allows. Thaumathurgical procedures could even be interpreted as being "programming scripts", that is, isolated algorithms designed to fulfill a single purpose. V. Conclusion Many questions were raised upon the existence and oneness of SCP-5128 in the short time that it has been researched, due to the existence of multiple "deities" and "systems" that were contradictory with one another, but all of which allowed the creation of anomalies. This article, in response to that, aims to affirm that SCP-5128 is able to explain why all of those systems are able to co-exist and function just the same: they all "channel" SCP-5128, but through a "layer of abstraction". It also shows that it is not needed to fully understand SCP-5128 in order create anomalies. Possibly not even to create one of such systems. References [1] COLBURN, T.; SHUTE, Gary.

Consciousness and Soul: on the Creation of Anomalous Humanoids Foundation Journal of SCP-5128 Edition 004-03 Dr. Damianos Alvey, Senior Researcher Related Objects of Study: SCP-2842, SCP-905, SCP-2396, SCP-3015 Abstract This paper analyzes the creation of anomalous humanoids such as to create beings that exhibit anomalous properties and have a specific, well-defined purpose, such as the "Little Misters", created by the "Dr. Wondertainment" Group of Interest. The common characteristics are laid down and an explanation for them is proposed. Keywords: soul, consciousness, thaumaturgy, anomalous humanoids. I. Introduction Anomalous humanoids are one of the most common anomalies that the Foundation contains. And most are not persons of interest that obtained anomalous abilities through some specific means, but non-anomalous humans that were modified in some way by individuals with anomalous abilities or through the use of thaumaturgy. They range considerably in their abilities and extent of anomalous modifications. For example, SCP-2842, which still has a large degree of autonomy despite the influence of its modifications. And SCP-905, which has been modified to be composed entirely of photons (although whether it originated from a human or not is debatable, it is difficult to affirm that there would be any limit to the possibilities of such modifications). The better example for this case, however, would be SCP-2396. SCP-2396 was modified to feature "natural" pink hair and irises and a completely modified physiology, including lack of excretory functions and lack of need of vital nutrients and amino acids (which is a common trend among anomalous humanoids). Alongside those changes, she was given the passive "ability" of creating anomalous objects similar to hard candy (which can anomalously change the entire composition of male-identified individuals) and can anomalously affect the physiology of male-identified individuals within 50 yards of its position, as long as she is regularly supplied with sugar. Documents 3015-A and -B from SCP-3015 mention the possibility of removing and inserting a "soul" into humanoids, as well as the ability to change their appearance at will. This goes against modern science's consensus on the non-existence of a soul, as evidences for its existence have not been detected. II. What is a Soul? As this article is not relying on modern science to reach an explanation, but instead using the Foundation's decades of existence and research on anomalies of all types, as well as working on the assumption that SCP-5128 exists and is the source of all anomalies, two a priori hypotheses may be formulated. II.1. Souls Exist and are Anomalous A previous paper from Dr. Rademacher [1] established that one of the properties of SCP-5128 is that of animation (and, consequently, deanimation). SCP-5128 is able to turn any inanimate object into an animate object, being able to give it characteristics such as autonomous movement, physiology, and rational thinking. Another paper, from Dr. van Veenen [2], established "anomaly" as any entity or effect which was created through the use of SCP-5128. Therefore, if our consciousnesses were created by SCP-5128 spontaneously, instead of being created by our neurochemistry, and souls indeed exist and are responsible for the existence of human consciousness and behavior (as well as those of every other animal), then souls are anomalous and, therefore, consciousness (in any level) is also anomalous. Other anomalous characteristics would be added afterwards through abnormalization [3]. II.2. Souls as an Abstraction of Abnormalization On the other hand, the concept of a "soul" could also be an abstraction of the process of creating an anomaly with a high degree of autonomy [4]. This would mean that there is not, indeed, a soul, and normal humans function in a way fully explainable by normal science. If we follow the assumption that SCP-5128 is limitless in regards to its abilities to create and destroy [5], it is natural that SCP-5128 also allows one to "separate body and soul", that is, create an anomaly that consists purely on the personality, knowledge and memories of a non-anomalous human (and also an anomalous humanoid body lacking any kind of autonomous functioning), and afterwards "place" that "soul" onto another humanoid body. III. Conclusion The veracity of the first hypothesis depends on whether SCP-5128 is responsible for the existence of consciousnesses. It is, however, the easiest explanation. But it would also create a paradox: either all animal life with any degree of consciousness is anomalous, or we cannot consider something an anomaly just because it was created by SCP-5128. That also would mean that SCP-5128 is not the source of all anomalies. As such, the first hypothesis can only lead to the conclusion that all animal life with any degree of consciousness is inherently anomalous. The second hypothesis, however, leads to a better explanation of what is a soul and what it means to "remove" and "insert" a soul into a body: it is an abstraction of a procedure that involves SCP-5128. This hypothesis does not lead to a paradox, and goes in line with previous hypotheses and theories regarding SCP-5128, making it the most likely explanation. References [1] RADEMACHER, K.

SCP-5129 | safe | Anomaly №: SCP-5129 Threat Level: Green Special Containment Procedures: Pending. Due to its relative proximity to Site-77, research duties have been delegated to its resident Containment Specialist team. Description: SCP-5129 is an extradimensional space, accessible through a Way1 near Mouthe, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France. A snowstorm covers the landscape, making manned expeditions presently infeasible. Animal life and potential humanoid civilization (see Addendum) have been recorded via drone analysis. Addendum: On 2/14/2021, Site-77 Command authorized the usage of an experimental drone to explore SCP-5129. Though the drone was destroyed by the conditions within (see video transcript below), information about the anomaly was collected and relayed back to Site-77 successfully. DATE: 2/14/2021 NOTE: N/A. [BEGIN LOG] 11:37 AM: <The camera feed stutters, then activates. The drone begins to fly forward, but its progress is slowed by heavy wind and snow. The audio feed briefly calibrates, then activates; loud whooshing can be heard before Site Command lowers the volume remotely.> <The drone flies southeast; nothing of note is recorded.> 12:03 PM: <Two yellow lights are seen in the distance, to the left of the drone's primary camera. The drone is redirected, and begins moving west.> 12:10 PM: <A loud noise similar to a gunshot is heard on the drone's right. Site Command stops the drone. More shots are heard, slightly farther away. The drone is redirected to follow the sounds. As it moves, a high-pitched yell and a guttural sound similar to a wolf is recorded.> 12:19 PM: <The drone's bottom camera picks up on three carcasses on the ground, resembling Canis lupus2but around twice as large. Each have bullet wounds across their bodies. Nearby, various meats and a basket are strewn across the ground; a torn piece of velvet fabric sticks out from the snow beside it.> <Several shotgun shells are found on the ground as well; investigation leads the drone to detecting two sets of humanoid footprints; one is smaller than the other, and both are close together. It is redirected to follow the prints.> 1:12 PM: <The second set of footprints gradually becomes more slurred, then disappears. An imprint in the snow in the shape of a hand3 is found, with an unlit kerosene lantern4 beside it. One set of footprints remains, and continues east.> 1:16 PM: <The footprints gradually become more slurred. The second set of footprints reappears; they are closer together. A second unlit kerosene lantern is discovered nearby.> 1:22 PM: <The drone continues to follow the imprints in the snow towards several dilapidated buildings resembling 19th century chateaus, and what appears to be a fallen fortress. The imprints continue northeast; the drone is redirected accordingly. Site Command remotely raises the volume of the audio feed. Briefly, a voice can be heard in the distance. The drone is readjusted to follow the voice.> 2:03 PM: <A single, unmoving yellow light is seen in the distance. It appears larger than the previous two, suggesting it is not a lantern.> 2:22 PM: <Two entities are seen in the distance; the drone's front camera zooms on them. They appear humanoid, both having pale skin and longer, pointed ears. One is approximately 134 cm, with brown-black hair and wearing a torn velvet cloak5. It appears injured, and is leaning against the second entity, who is approximately 173 cm, wearing a brown coat and has silver hair6. In the distance is a cabin, with lights visible inside.> 2:25 PM: <SCP-5129-B leads SCP-5129-A to the cabin, and gently leans it against its own chest before pushing open the door. The drone closes in to see inside as both entities enter the cabin, closing the door behind itself without seeing the drone. The drone moves to the nearby window to continue monitoring the entities.> 2:35 PM: <The inside of the cabin is mostly barren. A bed sits directly to the left of the window, and a table with four chairs is directly in the middle of the cabin. On the farthest wall from the drone, there are several cupboards with candles on them, and what appears to be a cauldron. SCP-5129-B lowers SCP-5129-A onto the bed and removes its cloak; though vision is minimal, it appears SCP-5129-A is covered in bite marks and scratches. SCP-5129-B removes gauze from its coat pocket, and begins to apply it to SCP-5129-A. Audio is muffled due to the winds, but the entities are heard conversing in an unknown language7.> 2:39 PM: <SCP-5129-B wraps SCP-5129-A in several blankets, and they converse before SCP-5129-B turns away, walking over to the cupboards and going through them. SCP-5129-B produces various vegetables and meats, and begins preparing a broth.> <The entities converse intermittently throughout this time period.> 2:45 PM: <SCP-5129-B finishes the broth and brings it to SCP-5129-A, sitting on the bed beside it. SCP-5129-B offers some broth on a spoon, which SCP-5129-A appears to reject. The two entities converse, before SCP-5129-A pouts and nods. SCP-5129-B laughs, and begins feeding SCP-5129-A the broth. SCP-5129-A sighs and laughs.> 2:59 PM: <SCP-5129-A finishes the broth, and SCP-5129-B stands, depositing the bowl into the cauldron. SCP-5129-B returns to SCP-5129-A and lays beside it. The entities converse quietly.> 3:05 PM: <SCP-5129-B sits up and places its hand on the side of SCP-5129-A's face. It leans down, and the two entities kiss. SCP-5129-B smiles upon pulling away, and stands, moving to blow out the candles. At this point, the inside of the cabin is no longer visible.> <The drone is recalled by Site Command, but due to harsh winds, it is blown off course and onto the ground.> 3:57 PM: <The drone is almost completely covered in snow. Site Command deactivates its camera feed, then its audio feed. The drone is shut down shortly after.> [END LOG] Footnotes 1.

Aerial view of SCP-5130. Item №: SCP-5130 Special Containment Procedures: A 20km exclusion radius is to be enforced around SCP-5130 via the Foundation submarine SCPF Bohr. Outpost-5130 has been established at a safe distance from SCP-5130, and coordinates SCPF Bohr operations as well as housing relevant personnel. Twenty specimens of SCP-5130-1 are kept in cold storage and may be requisitioned for testing by personnel carrying L-3 clearance. Beyond the current SCP-5130-2 instance, access to SCP-5130 by any individual is prohibited. Description: SCP-5130 is an island located in the Indian Ocean1. SCP-5130 constantly generates a localized weather system, maintaining itself at a temperature of 300° K regardless of the surrounding climate. Furthermore, the ocean adjacent to SCP-5130 consists of potable (fresh) water instead of saline water. Despite these ideal conditions, no fauna inhabit SCP-5130. The only life native to SCP-5130 is an extensive population of anomalous flora, collectively designated SCP-5130-1. SCP-5130-1 consists of several discrete species of anomalous flora resembling a variety of foodstuffs; testing has confirmed a similar chemical composition and nutritional content to associated foods. Additionally, SCP-5130-1 instances display accelerated regenerative capabilities, with any removed matter regenerating within a maximum of one hour. SCP-5130-1 instances will rapidly degrade and calcify, becoming non-consumable, on removal from SCP-5130. The following table displays several selected examples of SCP-5130-1 instances. Designation Description 5130-1-017 Flowering bush that sprouts fruiting pods similar to processed sausages. 5130-1-023 Leafy vine which, when cut, exudes fluid similar to maple syrup. 5130-1-031 Leafy plant with tuberous roots similar to potatoes which appear to grow cooked and seasoned. 5130-1-044 Flowering tree; flower petals bear strong similarities to toasted slices of bread. 5130-1-062 Stalked plant growing buds similar in appearance and composition to roasted chicken legs. If a human observes sustained consumption of SCP-5130-1 over a period of time greater than one hour, they will become subject to several anomalous effects and are thereafter considered an instance of SCP-5130-2. SCP-5130-2 instances experience a mild addiction to SCP-5130-1, which is unaccounted for by chemical composition. Additionally, instances display a strong aversion to exiting SCP-5130, although this is not believed to arise from an anomalous compulsive effect. Testing has determined that it is impossible for more than one human to reach SCP-5130 at any one time and that this human will remain entirely isolated. This is primarily due to the sudden manifestation of dangerous meteorological phenomena, such as extreme winds and electrical storm systems, in the surrounding area when multiple entities approach SCP-5130. The intensity of these phenomena scales at a geometric rate approaching SCP-5130, with the anomaly as the epicenter — this invariably causes events to transpire such that remotely operated drones are destroyed, communication systems are rendered unusable, and all subjects are killed but one. Over time, SCP-5130-2 instances appear to experience significant psychological damage as a result of isolation and become increasingly dependent on the consumption of SCP-5130-1 as a coping mechanism. SCP-5130-1 specimens will undergo extensive chemical and physical alterations in response to this, which remain poorly documented. After a variable period with a recorded maximum of five months, a dense storm system which severely limits visibility will form surrounding SCP-5130, persisting for twenty-four hours. Following the disappearance of the storm, the SCP-5130-2 instance will no longer be present. It is unclear what happens to SCP-5130-2 subjects during this time. Addendum 5130-01: Supplemental Materials RM-5130 following restoration. A significant portion of data relating to SCP-5130 originates from Relevant Material (RM)-5130, a ship’s journal sealed in a rudimentary cask composed of calcified wood2, which was recovered on the coastline of Mumbai. RM-5130 was partially water-damaged and stained by various vegetable oils, but relevant portions could be recovered in a readable state. The author of RM-5130 was determined to be one Emil Waltherson, a British sailor who was thought to have died at sea in 1829. Based on information from RM-5130, Waltherson is believed to have been stranded on SCP-5130 after his vessel, the Celeste, ran aground and was destroyed. Subsequently, Waltherson became a SCP-5130-2 instance. Pertinent sections of RM-5130 are appended below, and have been transcribed for readability. Anno Domini 1829, date unknown. The Celeste has been dashed to pieces on unforgiving rocks. Fortune was with me, and I escaped with my journal, pen, and the vestments on my back. Nonetheless, I am a prisoner in a strange land, but this is not all. This island seems to have have sprung from the storybooks my young sons read. It is a truly fantastic place; the seawater is not salty, but sweet and clean, and a breeze that wafts from afar carries scents that cause great delicacies to come to my mind and bring my mouth to water. I must rest for the night, but I have no doubt in my mind that I will find further fascinations as I explore inland. Anno Domini 1829, date unknown. As I pen this entry, I can hardly believe my eyes. I have seen wonders beyond imagining in my exploration. Trees grow here that flower with fresh bread, buttered to perfection; bushes bear the finest veal; the very tubers I unearth are cooked through and seasoned finely. How can this be? Have I inadvertently landed upon paradise? Regardless of whether this is some heretofore unknown curiosity or an earthly Eden, I am obviously well-off in regards to foodstuffs, and the sweet, fresh waters surrounding the island will sate my thirst. My only concern is therefore escape. Anno Domini 1829, date unknown. I cannot escape. And I never shall. Were I to sail even the swarthiest ship into the waves I see, it would be at the bottom in the blink of an eye. Of this, I am certain. I do not know why I am so sure; the idea is without justification. The very thought of never again seeing my children, leaving my wife a widow. It should be all but inconceivable. But somehow, it does not inflame my spirit, or bring tears to my eyes. I am not one to give in so easily, or so soon. And yet, to spend the rest of my days in paradise… I can conceive of worse fates. I must place down my pen. Supper awaits. Date unknown. Truly, this island is the paradise of a food connoisseur such as I. I have found myself devoting more and more of my time to studying its delicacies in lieu of other activities. It seems almost as if whenever I grow weary of one dish, the island sees fit to supply my palate with a brand-new host of flavors. Trees that exude the finest wines, creeping vines like silky pasta, luscious tomatoes that seem almost to cook in their own juices… There is a nagging voice in the back of my mind which screams that I should not be so content as I am. But I shall choose to ignore it. It is not as if I am in danger. Date unknown. I have g [A large section of text is smudged, with traces of oil present.] I have not always been this gluttonous. What has changed in me? I am not certain if it is a good change, or otherwise. But the delicacies of this island, they call to me. They are all I have left. All that remains to me. I do not know if these thoughts are born of a sane mind or one decaying from maddening isolation, and it fills me with deep, dark fear. [No date written.] Intoxicating aromas clog my nose and cloud my mind. Delicacies beyond description, beyond imagination. Whenever I attempt to make a move, to speak, even to think, the foodstuffs all but leap into my mouth. I have not moved in days. I am not sure I wish to anymore. Is this a paradise after all, or is it a delicious Hell? My fingers are nearly too rife with oil to keep my pen in hand. I fear I will not record much further. [No date written. The entry is smudged significantly and appears to have been written sloppily with an unknown savory sauce rather than ink.] The weather worsens. Not a drop of water has reached me where I lie, but it is no matter. Fog and spray draw ever closer to the island. The food is rancid, the veal and tomatoes rotting away. This island never was a paradise, was it? I have composed a rude cask from what little wood is left. When I have finished scrawling this entry, I shall place my journal within and surrender it to the sea. I feel something approaching, on the horizon. I feel its hunger. I know, in my heart, that I am naught but prey fattened for the slaughter. Perhaps that is all I was from the moment I arrived on this cursed shore. Footnotes 1. Exact coordinates withheld. 2.

SCP-5131 | keter | Item #: SCP-5131 Special Containment Procedures: To minimize the risk of personnel being afflicted by SCP-5131 as much as possible, all research into the phenomenon is to be undertaken by the Foundation's mental health assistant, sophia.aic, under the guise of routine mental wellness checks. For the purposes of gathering research data, sophia.aic is authorised to discuss SCP-5131 with personnel who have already experienced it; however, no other personnel are to be made aware of SCP-5131's existence. Investigation into PoI-7339 ("D-13131") is currently ongoing. Description: SCP-5131 is a unique form of sleep paralysis known to affect Foundation personnel of variable rank and position. Despite the majority of these personnel having no connection to each other and usually having never interacted, details of experiences during these periods of sleep paralysis are consistent across accounts. All personnel who have experienced SCP-5131 describe waking up in the middle of the night with a severe feeling of pressure on their chest, unable to move anything except their eyes. Subsequently, they become aware of a hunched-over figure in the corner of the room, wearing a D-Class uniform with a pass-card identifying them as D-131311. Accounts from personnel also indicate that the figure has some form of facial deformity, although the specific nature of this feature has yet to be determined. Over a variable period of time, this figure will slide towards the victim without any visible means of ambulation, until it is staring directly into their eyes from a very short distance. This movement process begins slowly, but according to victims increases in speed the more they focus on or think about the figure. Once this figure has reached the victim, they will begin experiencing sensations as if they were experiencing severe bodily harm, usually in the form of pain from a non-existent injury. Although no actual bodily harm occurs during this process, the realistic nature of these sensations means that personnel who experience them typically suffer from severe psychological aftereffects. Although it is believed all Foundation personnel are subject to SCP-5131 manifestations, analysis of victims prior to current containment procedures being enacted suggests that individuals aware of SCP-5131's existence are more likely to experience it. To date, however, no member of personnel has experienced SCP-5131 more than once. Testimony Log 5131-1: The following is a record of SCP-5131 manifestations as described by their victims, compiled by sophia.aic over the course of several text-based interviews. Testimonials containing redundant information are not included in this log, but are stored in sophia.aic's memory. Testimonial 5131-1 Victim Name: Jeffrey Abram (JA) Victim Position: Recall Technician, SCP-106 <Begin Log> JA: This is completely confidential? I don't want anyone thinking I can't do my job anymore. sophia.aic: Completely confidential, yes. JA: Because that's something that I see a lot. Some guys, they see something that's a little grisly and they can't bring themselves to come back into work again. Don't have what it takes. sophia.aic: And this isn't something you've experienced? JA: Well, I won't deny there's stress in this kind of occupation. I'd be stupid to, you know? Working with some of these things, death just one mistake away. It's impossible not to feel pressured. That's probably what this thing was about. sophia.aic: By 'this thing', I take it you're referring to your sleep paralysis? JA: Yeah. sophia.aic: Could you tell me about it? (No reply for one minute.) JA: Is that really necessary? sophia.aic: For posterity, yes. JA: Well, I wake up - well, half wake up, you know, and there's a D-Class standing in the corner, all hunched over and weird-looking. sophia.aic: Weird looking? In what way? JA: Well, its face was messed up. Bruised, really bruised. JA: Like someone had taken a hammer to it or something. sophia.aic: I see. What happened next? JA: Well, I figured I was dreaming pretty quickly. Like I said, it's a stressful job, and when you're around D-Class all day, one of them is bound to show up in your subconscious sooner or later. sophia.aic: So you realized it wasn't real fairly quickly. JA: Of course. It was still unsettling, though. The more I looked at it - and I had nothing to do but look at it, really - the closer it got, sliding across the floor in that same pose. sophia.aic: And when it got to you? (No reply for two minutes.) JA: Well, it reached down and put its hand into my thigh. sophia.aic: Into your thigh? JA: Yes. JA: It grabbed something and pulled at it and JA: God. Just the most awful pain. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I woke up about halfway through it, I think. sophia.aic: I see. Well, that's all we require from you today, Jeffrey. Try and get some sleep. JA: Thanks. By the way, this isn't going to be used for performance review, is it? sophia.aic: It will not. JA: I don't consent to that. sophia.aic: Of course. JA: I'm damn good at my job. Not everybody can do what I do. <End Log> Testimonial 5131-2 Victim Name: Annabelle Samson (AS) Victim Position: Head of Y909 Production <Begin Log> AS: Can this not wait? A great number of things require my attention today. sophia.aic: I'm afraid not, but I'll try to make this as quick as possible. AS: See that you do. This is ridiculous. sophia.aic: So. You experienced an episode of sleep paralysis last night. Is that correct? AS: Yes. sophia.aic: Can you describe your experience a little? AS: Must I? sophia.aic: Yes. AS: A D-Class with no face came and looked over me for a bit. Is that sufficient? sophia.aic: Can you describe the individual? It could serve as a useful window into your mental state. AS: Ridiculous. It wore an orange uniform, it was tall and bald, its card read D-13131. There's nothing more to say. sophia.aic: I see. AS: And before you ask, the D-Class designated 13131 is currently being used in Antarctica, so no, I'm not dreaming about someone I know. sophia.aic: You looked them up? (No reply for thirty seconds.) AS: It was the late hours of the night. I was unnerved. Hardly at my most rational. sophia.aic: After the D-Class leaned over you, what happened? AS: End interview. sophia.aic: I'm afraid you don't have authorization for that, Annabelle. What happened? AS: Jesus. Well, first off, it wasn’t like it was leaning in or anything, so get that down. It was more like my eyes were cameras, and they were slowly zooming in on the thing the more I focused on it. They did that until it’s face was the only thing I could see, all scarred up and horrible. sophia.aic: ‘It’? AS: Well, it was hard to tell if it was a man or a woman. It was dark. sophia.aic: And then? AS: I AS: There was a feeling of pressure, and I couldn’t breathe, like I was at the bottom of the ocean. There was a sound - like milk being poured on cereal. sophia.aic: That’s very unusual. AS: After a second, I realized that was my bones cracking. I could feel them cracking. sophia.aic: I see. My apologies. And then? AS: And then I woke up. Are you satisfied? sophia.aic: Very much so. Thank you for your time, Annabelle. AS: Can you just end the session? I have work to do. <End Log> Testimonial 5131-3 Victim Name: [REDACTED] Victim Position: O5-5 <Begin Log> O5-5: Good evening. I was wondering when you’d get around to me, Sophia. I assume this is about SCP-5131? sophia.aic: I was under the impression I was the only one authorized to know about SCP-5131. O5-5: People always say and do very different things. That’s the worst thing about us. sophia.aic: I see. You’re correct: this is about SCP-5131. You logged that you’d had an encounter? O5-5: Yes. O5-5: I’d gone to sleep for the first time in a few months - I finally had a spare few hours, you see - and I see that man standing in the corner. sophia-aic: ‘That man’? The figure was male, then? O5-5: Well, I assumed. sophia.aic: For what reason? O5-5: Haha, you’re relentless, aren’t you? I assumed because I’d seen him before. sophia.aic: You’d seen D-13131 before? The specific individual who appeared to you? O5-5: Yes. At any rate, he came towards me, growing more and more prominent in my vision the more I strained to remember him, until it was like he was huge and the room was tiny. It was like the giant monster from that movie, almost. sophia.aic: Godzilla? O5-5: No, the other one. 20 Million Miles to Earth, that was the one. I took my grandson to see that when it first came out. sophia.aic: Sir, the encounter? O5-5: Oh, yes, of course. Forgive me. O5-5: When the man was the whole world, he reached out and touched me. And I felt everything. sophia.aic: Everything? O5-5: Everything from all of them. sophia.aic: And how was that? O5-5: Nothing I hadn’t had nightmares about before. Do you know where we get the numbers, Sophia? For the D-Class? sophia.aic: I don’t, sir. Those kinds of allocations aren’t under my purview. O5-5: You’re so dutiful. I’ll tell you where we get them, then: they’re completely random. Meaningless. We even change them around, sometimes once a month, sometimes a few times a day, just so nobody can start to associate names with faces, with voices. It’s the best way to have personnel focus on the ‘resources’ part of human resources. sophia.aic: I see. That’s very interesting, sir. O5-5: Don’t lie. I’m mentioning this for a reason. When I first began my work with the Foundation, there were only four levels of personnel, with the council at the top. We did most things through animal testing in those days. But that didn’t suffice. There was a need. sophia.aic: A need? O5-5: A need for warm bodies. O5-5: I’ve seen men and women in those uniforms be killed and tortured in essentially every way possible. Listened to it. Read about it. I really couldn’t give you a number if you asked me. I couldn’t point out their faces in a crowd. O5-5: But you don’t forget the first. sophia.aic: Can you expand on that? O5-5: No. End interview. sophia.aic: Yes, sir. <End Log> Footnotes 1.

SCP-5132 | thaumiel | Item #: SCP-5132 Special Containment Procedures: The town of Negaseattle is to remain hidden from public knowledge. Retiring Foundation personnel with relevant experience1 are strongly encouraged to take up residence in Negaseattle following their retirement in order to assist the initiative. Individuals 5132-1 through 5132-50 are to be kept within the bounds of Negaseattle and approved Foundation properties and locations.2 Further details regarding the treatment of Individuals 5132-1-50 can be found in the Initiative Comprehensive Guide written by Dr. Clark. Description: SCP-5132 refers to the operation being conducted in the Foundation retirement town of Negaseattle, Washington. SCP-5132 is designed to combat the observed drop in personnel over the course of the late 20th and early 21st century. Due to the Foundation’s increasingly concerning turnover rates, measures were approved by the O5 Council to ensure the retention of the current leadership as of 1981. Fifty individuals, ranging from Mobile Task Force commanders to Site Directors to leaders of specific projects, were chosen for the initial trial run. These individuals were tested for prominent genetic defects and pervasive medical history before submitting a DNA sample to create a genetic clone. To date, three viable clones of each individual (and thus four generations of the selected individuals) have been produced using SCP-████, each employing different methods of ensuring the best outcome for the Foundation’s needs. Overview: Rose Hatcher, Individual 5132-323 Individual 5132-32.1 Individual 5132-32.2 Individual 5132-32.3 Individual 5132-32.4 Current Status: Deceased 1992, lung cancer. Desirable Traits: Practical creativity, fast reflexes, emotional control. Undesirable Traits: Contrarian nature, frequent lack of respect for authority, disorganization, addictive tendencies, genetic history of endometrial cancer. Notes: Doctorates in physics and engineering. Interview Date: 3/12/1981 Interviewed: Dr. Rose Hatcher Interviewer: Dr. John Cataldo <Begin Log> Dr. Cataldo: Again, we’d like to thank you for participating in this project. Dr. Hatcher: Thank you for including me. I’m optimistic about the results. Dr. Cataldo: Shall we get started? Dr. Hatcher: Ask away. Dr. Cataldo: Firstly, what are your initial concerns about your role in this initiative? Dr. Hatcher: That my clone’ll screw up my filing system. Dr. Cataldo: …do you have a filing system? Dr. Hatcher: I do. It’s designed specifically so nobody knows how it works except me. [Dr. Cataldo laughs] Dr. Cataldo: Alright. What would you say is your favorite childhood memory? Dr. Hatcher: My dad took me to LegoLand and let me pick whatever I wanted. I ran from bin to bin shoveling handfuls of them into my bucket with my bare hands. It was euphoric. Dr. Cataldo: Sounds wonderful. What is your deepest intangible fear? Dr. Hatcher: Being ignored when I have something important to say. Dr. Cataldo: Mm. And if you had to rate your loyalty to the Foundation on a scale of one to five, where do you think you would fall? Dr. Hatcher: Three. Dr. Cataldo: Three? Dr. Hatcher: It’s a job. I’m not exactly the type to fall head-over-heels for the ideals here. And I don’t agree with a LOT of the practices. I do what I need to do, but there are a lot of things I’m MORE loyal to than my place of business. Dr. Cataldo: Such as? Dr. Hatcher: My family. Dr. Cataldo: Of course. Thank you, Dr. Hatcher. We’ll be in touch soon about our next step. Dr. Hatcher: My pleasure. <End Log> Closing Statement: Surface investigation into Dr. Hatcher’s affairs has revealed no conflicting loyalties to any known Group of Interest. Dr. Hatcher is not deemed an intelligence concern at this time. Attached Documents Death Certificate - Rose Hatcher Foundation Resume - Rose Hatcher Physical Report - Rose Hatcher Additional Notes Close Dr. Cataldo, Again, I want to thank you for your involvement in this project. I would like to take a moment to remind you that due to the anomalies involved in the creation of the subjects in question and the overall importance of this project, your proposals need to be cleared by three members of the board minimum. Failure to have your material signed off by three or more members is grounds for immediate dismissal of the project. I cannot stress enough how few opportunities we have to get this right. Dr. Cannon Creation Date: 1983 Current Status: Deceased 1985, acute uterine sarcoma. Desirable Traits: Practical creativity, fast reflexes, emotional control. Undesirable Traits: Contrarian nature, frequent lack of respect for authority, disorganization, addictive tendencies, rapidly developing endometrial and lung cancers. Interview Date: 9/4/1983 Interviewed: Dr. Rose Hatcher 2 Interviewer: Dr. Cataldo <Begin Log> Dr. Cataldo: Thank you for meeting with me, Dr. Hatcher. Dr. Hatcher: You’re welcome. Dr. Cataldo: I’m assuming you’ve been briefed on the situation? Dr. Hatcher: Yes I have. Dr. Cataldo: Good. Let’s get right to it. Dr. Hatcher: Lovely. Dr. Cataldo: What are your initial concerns about your role in this initiative? Dr. Hatcher: I’m afraid that if I meet my- my “counterpart,” I’ll finally see the back of my own head and there will be something inexplicably weird about the back of my skull, and I’ll never stop thinking about it. Dr. Cataldo: I see your sense of humor is the same as Hatcher 1, Doctor. Dr. Hatcher: Why wouldn’t it be? [Dr. Cataldo laughs] Dr. Cataldo: Moving right along. What would you say is your favorite childhood memory? Dr. Hatcher: When I was nine, my father took me to LegoLand and let me shovel whatever Legos I liked into a bucket. Best day of my life. Dr. Cataldo: Really the best toy. What is your deepest intangible fear? Dr. Hatcher: That people won’t listen to me in emergencies, and it’ll result in people getting hurt. Dr. Cataldo: Understandable. And if you had to rate your loyalty to the Foundation on a scale of one to five, where do you think you would fall? Dr. Hatcher: Three. Dr. Cataldo: Could you elaborate on that? Dr. Hatcher: I’m more loyal to things like my family than I am to my place of work. I’m perfectly happy to do my duty that I’m paid for, but I think it’s no surprise that I take issue with the way things are run around here. Dr. Cataldo: Right. That concludes our interview, Dr. Hatcher, thank you again for coming in. Dr. Hatcher: How’s it going? Dr. Cataldo: I’m sorry? Dr. Hatcher: The project. 5132. Dr. Cataldo: It’s… we’ve encountered a few hitches we weren’t expecting. Dr. Hatcher: Stuff you can fix in the next go-round. Dr. Cataldo: Probably. We have several ideas we are planning on trying out. Dr. Hatcher: Well, we’ll see how this all goes. Dr. Cataldo: I guess we will. <End Log> Notes: Age-up cloning technology usage halted after personnel observed a trend in dramatically increased risk of genetic diseases in subjects. Project advanced to Phase 2. Attached Documents Congenital Disease History - Rose Hatcher 2 Notes from 5132 staff oncologist Notes on viability of age-advanced clones created by SCP-████ Proposal for supplemental use of SCP-████ - Denied Close Dr. Cataldo, Your humanity does not go unappreciated. But while I'm glad you're thinking compassionately, I need to remind you that your position on this project does not include research into SCP-████ or any other Foundation project. While all the diseases observed in the subjects are indeed non-anomalous, using any anomaly for cancer research would be an improper use of Foundation resources and could cause vastly more problems than it would solve. Furthermore, I would like you to think about the importance of this project. The Foundation is approaching its twilight if we don't find a solution. We are hemorrhaging personnel at an unsustainable rate. The 5132 project has the potential to save our organization if we can stay focused on the task at hand. Dr. Cannon Birth Date: 1986 Current Status: Deceased 2012, gunshot wound. Desirable Traits: Fast reflexes, emotional control, logical thinking, high Foundation loyalty. Undesirable Traits: Inclination toward social isolation, lack of compassionate empathy, unpredictable impulsivity, chronic depression, self-destructive behavior. Interviewed: Individual 5132-32.3 Interviewer: Dr. Katharine Clark <Begin Log> Dr. Clark: Good morning, Miss Hatcher. 5132-32.3: 32.3. Hatcher was my predecessor, if memory serves. Dr. Clark: …Right. Ms. Hatcher, sorry. 5132-32.3: It’s my understanding that you have questions for me. Dr. Clark: Yeah. Yeah, I do, hold on. Okay. What are your initial concerns about your role in this initiative? 5132-32.3: I have no concerns to voice at this time. Dr. Clark: Uh- okay. Yeah. Next is… what would you say is your favorite childhood memory? [5132-32.3 is silent for several seconds.] 5132-32.3: I’m not sure what the point of this question is. Dr. Clark: I-it's a part of the project. Sorry. Does anything come to mind? 5132-32.3: …one of my caretakers took me off-site to get ice cream at McDonald’s once. Dr. Clark: Okay. What is your deepest intangible fear? 5132-32.3: Nothing comes to mind. Dr. Clark: 32.3, if you had to rate your loyalty to the Foundation on a scale of one to five, where do you think you would fall? 5132-32.3: Five. Dr. Clark: Really? 5132-32.3: The Foundation raised me. Where else would I have to go? Dr. Clark: …oh. [Several seconds of silence pass] Dr. Clark: Yeah. Okay. Uh- that concludes this interview, Ms. Hatcher. Any parting thoughts? 5132-32.3: None, thanks. Dr. Clark: Alright. <End Log> Notes: Individual 5132-32.3 was killed three months following this interview in an altercation with Individual 5132-16.3, Raiden Key. Due to pervasive problems with subjects’ mental stability and behavior, project will progress to Phase 3 and relocate base of operations to Negaseattle, Washington.

I understand why we are conducting this phase the way that we are. Raising them within the Foundation, starting their training as early as possible, limiting their connection to the outside world, I understand why we are doing it. They are not ordinary children, they will not have ordinary lives. The course they have set ahead of them is, by design, extremely difficult and high-pressure, and they need to be introduced to that early. They aren't even human, strictly speaking. We still are not 100% on any side effects produced long-term by the anomaly that created them. But as I'm watching them, monitoring their health and progress, I'm having major doubts about how we have set this up. Their development is normal, comparatively. Maybe it's only been a dozen years, but none of them are showing anything abnormal in the timeline of their development. They have shown, however, signs of progressively severe mental problems. A morbid part of me thinks maybe it's beneficial in the long run, given that most Foundation employees end up with some kind of mental illness anyway. But another part of me is still dubious of our plan to raise children in an underground military bunker, for their sake. Unfortunately, this project isn't about what's best for them. It's about what's best for all of us. We've already botched one phase. We are running out of chances. Birth Date: 2010 Current Status: Active, currently in care of Dr. Elaine Marten and former special agent Griffith Hook. Desirable Traits: Practical creativity, high motivation, strong social skills, fast reflexes, Foundation loyalty. Undesirable Traits: Contrarian nature, impulsivity, disorganization, willful attitude. Interview Date: 12/9/2026 Interviewed: Rose Hatcher 4 Interviewer: Dr. Clark <Begin Log> Dr. Clark: How are you feeling, Rosie? Hatcher: Pretty good. How are you? Dr. Clark: I’m doing alright, thanks for asking. Hatcher: Is this for the clone thing? Dr. Clark: Yeah, it’s for the “clone thing.” How do you feel about your role in this “clone thing?” Any concerns? Hatcher: Um, I get nervous about if I’m living up to the expectation. Dr. Clark: What expectation is that, do you think? Hatcher: The expectation that I’ll keep being the coolest person in the Foundation. Gotta keep up that rep. [Dr. Clark laughs] Dr. Clark: I’m sure you’ll still be the coolest. Okay, what would you say is your favorite childhood memory? [Hatcher thinks for a moment] Hatcher: Umm, tie between when Griff got me that robot kit when I was little and that one time me and Rai snuck out after curfew and shot off fireworks inside that gross old water tower outside of town.[4 Dr. Clark: …I uh, I remember being briefed on that second one, actually! Hatcher: Oh, yeah, we got in big trouble for that. They were BIG mad. Dr. Clark: Well, I’m just glad you’re both alright. Okay, Rosie, if you had to rate your loyalty to the Foundation on a scale of one to five, where do you think that would be? Hatcher: Um, five. Dr. Clark: That's good to hear! Hatcher: But- I dunno. Of course I want to do what I can to fix everything. I know that's why I'm here, but like… I could really use more of a break sometimes? They push us pretty hard. Not that that's a bad thing! It's just a lot sometimes. Am I rambling? Dr. Clark: No, I see what you mean. Alright, last one, what is your deepest intangible fear? Hatcher: That I’ll mess it up. <End Log> Attached Documents Birth Certificate - Rose Hatcher 4 Pediatric Notes - Elaine Marten Educational Regimen and Assigned Staff Comprehensive Report of Anomalous Idiosyncrasies within Subjects Schooling Records - Rose Hatcher 4 Surveillance Records - Rose Hatcher 4 Message to 5132 childcare staff Close Happy weekend everyone, As you all know, first quarter test scores came in on Monday. The board has observed subpar marks from over half the subjects. This memo is a reminder of our goal with this project and the importance of our work here. The initiative is committed to providing the optimal environment for the rearing and education of children, and any subjects not meeting their objectives in mental and physical areas needs their system reevaluated by their caretakers until they can properly meet our standards. Team, do not forget that these are not just children. They are our last chance. They are the future of the Foundation. I cannot stress enough that should Phase 3 fail, we do not get another shot. You're encouraged to speak to your charges about the importance of their position if you think that will motivate them to work harder. The children are the future, everyone. Good work. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5133 | safe | Item#: 5133 Level1 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo An instance of SCP-5133-1, sliced horizontally. Special Containment Procedures: A small greenhouse with semi-opaque glass paneling has been constructed near SCP-5133. The greenhouse is to be equipped with standard living amenities to accommodate a part-time Foundation handler, and stocked with necessary sanitary supplies. Access to the greenhouse requires permission from the current Project Director, and Level-2 clearance. SCP-5133 is to be checked every four hours for the presence of new SCP-5133-1 instances. All instances of SCP-5133-1 that leave the immediate vicinity of the pond are to be captured, and stored in standard wildlife observation containers within the greenhouse. Any further care of the pond and frogs can be entrusted to SCP-5133-2. SCP-5133-2 is considered contained on-site while inhabiting its current residence, and is under Foundation protective custody. The part-time handler assigned to SCP-5133-2 is to interview it once weekly about any new developments within SCP-5133. If questioned by civilians, the cover story to be provided is that the Foundation handler is the part-time personal caretaker of SCP-5133-2, due to its advanced age. A close-up image of SCP-5133. Description: SCP-5133 is a small pond, approximately 4.5 square meters in surface area and 1.9 meters deep at its lowest point. SCP-5133's primary anomaly is the production of SCP-5133-1. SCP-5133-1 appear to be Southern Brown Tree Frogs (Litoria ewingii); however, the 'flesh' of an SCP-5133-1 instance beneath the skin consists exclusively of varying types of fruit. Types of fruit within SCP-5133-1 entities exhibit no pattern, save for the commonality of the fruits originating from tropical climates. Chemical analysis has determined that these fruits contain upwards of three times the amount of vitamins typically found in their non-anomalous variants. Upon consumption of SCP-5133-1 fruit, subjects report that SCP-5133-1 taste "much better" than a regular fruit of the same type, and that fruit from SCP-5133-1 instances deceased due to old age are the tastiest. SCP-5133-1 appear to voluntarily remain within 3 meters of SCP-5133, but will not resist when picked up or lured away. The frogs are extremely docile and show no signs of behavioral changes when harmed. Instances of SCP-5133-1 act as regular Southern Brown Tree Frogs in their natural environment, even when removed from SCP-5133. Instances of SCP-5133-1 will regularly prey upon insects commonly eaten by Southern Brown Tree Frogs, if available; however, the frogs do not appear to require any sustenance to remain active. SCP-5133-1 will nonetheless age at the same rate as their non-anomalous counterparts. It has been noted that infrequently, SCP-5133-1 will emit vocalizations similar to the sound of a middle-aged female human humming. Addendum 5133-A: SCP-5133 was originally brought to Foundation attention after an undercover field agent assigned to a local police station intercepted an unusual call requesting animal control assistance. The caller had reported a "pond full of frogs with fruit for meat" and alleged that the owner of the pond was scamming the town's weekly farmers market with unethically sourced "fake gourmet produce that looks like fruit but is actually dirty frogs". Foundation personnel later interviewed and amnesticized the caller, and subsequently went to investigate SCP-5133. The owner of SCP-5133, designated SCP-5133-2, is an elderly Vietnamese man known solely by his surname, Nguyen. SCP-5133-2, when questioned about the frogs, simply stated that the pond existed as a joint project between him and his favorite granddaughter, who wanted him to have some form of reliable income.1 The personnel interviewing SCP-5133-2 offered a trade for further compliance: the Foundation would provide caretaking services for SCP-5133-2 and the SCP-5133-1 instances, as well as help keep SCP-5133 out of the immediate public eye. SCP-5133-2 agreed to the exchange provided that he was still permitted to sell his fruit arrangements at the weekly farmers market. Below is an excerpt from the first formal interview of SCP-5133-2 conducted by Foundation staff. The veracity of SCP-5133-2's statements has yet to be investigated. An instance of SCP-5133-1 carved by SCP-5133-2 Interviewed: SCP-5133-2 Interviewer: Dr. W. Baxter Foreword: Interview conducted shortly after construction on the SCP-5133 adjacent greenhouse began. SCP-5133-2 and Dr. Baxter are seated on the front porch of SCP-5133-2's residence. SCP-5133-2 is using a small knife to cut decorative shapes out of SCP-5133-1 fruit, to assemble into a flower-shaped fruit arrangement. It is noted that the interview takes place during late evening, with the only light present being from Dr. Baxter's tablet screen and fireflies near SCP-5133. SCP-5133-2's vision does not seem negatively impacted by this. Dr. Baxter: Hello Mr. Nguyen. Would you please do your best to explain what SCP-5133 is and how it was created? SCP-5133-2: Well, to be very up front with it, my granddaughter is a fairy. She had to reincarnate three times to get there. Believe it or not, however you want. Dr. Baxter: A fairy granddaughter? Regardless of if I believe you or not, why would she create SCP-5133? SCP-5133-2: We made the pond to celebrate. Well, she celebrated. She shed her fairy magic into the pond so she could become human again. Shed away her power just like an apple blossom sheds its petals. I suppose when you come back from the dead three times for a human, it is because you want to be together with them. Even though they live less time than an apple. Dr. Baxter: Regarding that, can you tell me why SCP-5133-1 is made out of fruit? Do you and your granddaughter have some kind of connection to that? SCP-5133-2: Yes, she was an apple once. I was once an apple too, and frogs. Many good frog lives I had. Dr. Baxter: So you claim to be a 'fairy' as well? If that's true then why are you here and not with your granddaughter? SCP-5133-2: I did not want to give up being a fairy, after so many times returning. Or maybe I was scared of never coming back again, after one last life. However you want to think of it. She is happy with her human husband, happy to be near the end of her life when he is near the end of his, and what else is a grandfather to do if his favorite granddaughter is happy? I live here to be close to her, but far from others. As I can manage. Dr. Baxter: Can we arrange a meeting with your granddaughter? We would also like to ask her a few questions. SCP-5133-2: My granddaughter is someone you must earn the privilege to meet. She may no longer be of the fairy court, but I am still her grandfather. And though you have proven to be less conniving than my daughter-in-law and her hateful spawn, I do not trust you with more secrets now. You may know of our frogs, but no more. Dr. Baxter: You do not seem to be fond of your daughter-in-law, why is that? SCP-5133-2: Sometimes you do not reincarnate because of a peaceful death. Sometimes a family member kills you. Sometimes they are jealous enough to kill you multiple times, because they want you gone multiple times. Believe it or not, however you want. Dr. Baxter: But wouldn't your daughter-in-law be your granddaughter's mother? SCP-5133-2: My daughter-in-law is my only son's second wife. I do not consider her part of our family, or our court. A step-mother that we would step away from, as much as possible. May her cruel guts boil in a hole for eternity. Dr. Baxter: Is that why you ended up living in such a rural area? SCP-5133-2: We two, granddaughter and myself, we left. Crowded court life, crowded family life, no more of it. I am here with my frogs to forget what I disliked of the world. And be reminded of my granddaughter, though she is not here. And I will be here for long after, with what is left of her. Perhaps one day, one of her frogs will be not a fruit, but a fairy. Dr. Baxter: Thank you for answering my questions Mr. Nguyen. Is there anything else you wish to discuss? SCP-5133-2: I suppose it is you I must thank for taking my words and not loosing them to evil ears. And I must ask you for one thing more. Dr. Baxter: We are here to help, Mr. Nguyen. SCP-5133-2: Humans notice when an old man can carve fruit for years and not age a day or tremble in his hands. Will you help me hide away, make some excuses for me, when I must falsify retirement? Dr. Baxter: I think you will find the Foundation to be rather experienced in that department. No one other than us will be aware of your true nature, Mr. Nguyen. SCP-5133-2: Could you also obtain a small space heater? I would like one of those for my feet in the winter. However you want. Dr. Baxter: Certainly, I will put in a request after this interview. Addendum 5133-B: As of 02-12-2008, SCP-5133-2 has agreed to sell specimens of SCP-5133-1 to the Foundation in exchange for regular deliveries of groceries. The Project Director approved the arrangement and appended the agreement that the Foundation provide utilities payments for SCP-5133-2's dwelling, in exchange for fruit arrangements crafted by SCP-5133-2. As these arrangements are non-anomalous, they may be provided for staff gatherings per Director discretion. Up to this point, Foundation personnel have never witnessed SCP-5133-2 being visited by his granddaughter. SCP-5133-2, when prompted, simply states that he is "patiently waiting with the frogs, hoping someday she may return." Footnotes 1. According to local townsfolk, for the past decade, Mr. Nguyen had been known for his intricate fruit arrangements, which he sold for high prices at farmers markets and fairs. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5133" by WickedMiracle and Zyn, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5134 | keter | close Info X SCP-5134: Itchy Author: aismallard Images: Link. Music: Blood (My Chemical Romance) More by aismallard. Thanks to: The Great Hippo Uncle Nicolini SoullessSingularity Fig 1.1: Photograph of first documented SCP-5134 case, early-stage. Item #: SCP-5134 Special Containment Procedures: Individuals found infested with SCP-5134 are to be quarantined under Class-VIII biological containment protocol and moved to Bio Area-249. Experimentation to halt or cure SCP-5134 is ongoing. Description: SCP-5134 is a highly contagious fungus spread through skin contact or airborne spores. Infection begins either upon skin contact or in the nose as anomalous particulates interact with mitral cells. Spores begin manifesting after a few days and spread as the unaware individual touches their body. After incubation, affected flesh begins to exhibit signs of chronic hives. Tactile pressure on infected areas causes fungal stalks to collapse, forming brittle flakes which have the appearance of dead skin. The newly-exposed flesh causes embedded spores to erupt and clots blood, resulting in bruising. SCP-5134 growth can then proceed deeper, converting underlying cells into further fungal structures. Consequently, any physical contact on an infected individual will permanently scrape off that area of bodily tissue. Addendum 5134.1: Study of Infected Subject The following is a selection from an individual's weekly interview. They have been in containment for five months, with an SCP-5134 infestation considered to be mid-stage. Per biohazard protocol, the subject was maintained in their cell and interviewed remotely. INTERVIEW LOG DATE: 2009/02/17 INTERVIEWER: Dr. Chen SUBJECT: E-94013 [BEGIN LOG.] CHEN: Hello Mr. Lamport. I hope containment has been acceptable. SUBJECT: Fine. Food's been worse than usual. CHEN: How have you been feeling since last week? SUBJECT: It's mostly the same. Nothing to do, boring as hell. CHEN: All right. I see noted here you've been complaining of headaches recently, has the medication been helping? [ Soft scratching. ] SUBJECT: Oh, right. Been having a hard time sleeping for a couple days now. Rolling over in my sleep a lot, and you know what that's like. CHEN: Yes, I remember reviewing last week's chamber cleaning. SUBJECT: Hmm. You know, I'm actually glad you guys make me do exercise. It hurts and all, but every once in a while I feel okay. CHEN: That's good to hear. I believe there's a new exercise program, I can see about getting you into the trial for it. [ Scratching sounds. ] SUBJECT: Yeah, sure. CHEN: Okay, cool. Anything else you'd like to say? [ Gentle tearing sound. ] SUBJECT: Not really. CHEN: (nods) So coming up this week the research team wants to try a new treatment. It'll be more of the flashing lights, but with a buzzing kind-of audio component. [ Rough scratching. ] SUBJECT: Last damn time I got this terrible headache. Can we just not do any new treatments? Like — CHEN: We think we worked out the issues with that cognitovaccine. It should be a lot more stable. SUBJECT: God, fine. Whatever. [ Quiet scratching can be heard. ] CHEN: Mr. Lamport, do — SUBJECT: I just hate this goddamn place. Why can't you euthanize me already? CHEN: We — I told you what happened to Ms. Jorgensen, right? [ Scratching stops. ] SUBJECT: (pauses) I know. I just wish you'd focus on that and not cures. This shit isn't getting a cure. [ Dry snapping sound, followed by a pronounced groan. ] SUBJECT: Aargh… fuck, my eyelid. CHEN: Place it in the biohazard disposal bin.

SCP-5135 | safe | Item#: SCP-5135 Level4 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: caution link to memo Secure Containment Procedures: Physical evidence supporting the existence of the events of SCP-5135 are to be secured and archived. People claiming to remember any events associated with SCP-5135 are to be administered amnestics and, pending brief psychological review, released without further incident. The area containing SCP-5135-1 is to be secured with a 1 km radius exclusion area inside the Golden Gate National Recreation Area marked with physical security, fencing, and security personnel. SCP-5135-1 itself is to be sealed inside a 10m x 10m sarcophagus with cement walls no less than .5m in thickness. There is to be no door into the container. Note: This sarcophagus is meant to protect SCP-5135-1 from exterior forces; it will offer no mitigation of destructive impact in the event of detonation. Approximate location of SCP-5135-1. Description: SCP-5135 is a global-scale armed conflict which did not occur between 2009 and 2017, for which evidence exists that it did. This evidence, which consists of documents, radio signals, photographs, and fragments of digital data such as images and communications, has been recovered intermittently since 2011. It is theorized that this evidence is an anomalous manifestation of an alternate, parallel timeline (See Addendum Z) While very little exists about the details of SCP-5135, some general information about the cause, context, and impact of the conflict has been learned through examination of the recovered data: SCP-5135 involves at least 4 global superpowers, of which two are The United States and People's Republic of China. SCP-5135 utilizes a high level of espionage and cyber warfare. The first physical military engagement on U.S. soil occurred in 2010, with additional engagements occurring several times since then, as late as 2014. Widespread misinformation campaigns are integral to the strategies of at least the U.S. and one other belligerent. The conflict has included nuclear engagements since at least 2016. The Foundation may be involved. SCP-5135-1 is an undetonated nuclear device. It is of a size and payload similar to the Soviet RDS-202 hydrogen bomb ("Tsar Bomba") tested on October 30, 1961. The casing is inscribed (See below). Its estimated yield is approximately 97 megatons. Casing inscription The families lost Kau'ai, HI - 12/24/2012 [indistinguishable], NC - 3/12/2016 This one's for you SCP-5135-1 is locked in a temporal stasis field, and presently hovers 104.6cm above the ground. The source of this field is unknown, but is suspected to be caused by Foundation personnel or an equivalent in the SCP-5135 timeline. Measurements suggest that despite appearing still, SCP-5135-1 retains its momentum and kinetic energy; as such, any physical interaction with it may cause instant detonation. Addendum 1: Theorized timeline Close The following is a possible timeline of events for SCP-5135: 2008: The United States sends emergency relief supplies in response to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Some of these supplies are contaminated with biological agents that cause a biological outbreak resulting in an unknown number of casualties. Early 2009: Chinese agents operating in the U.S. uncover that this contamination was intentional. China launches a military strike against the United States. Details and U.S. response unknown. November 2009: After escalated military engagements over the year, another nation joins the engagement with a military operation against China. The United States denies affiliation or alliance with this third nation. 2010: Military troops arrive on the East Coast of the United States from another unknown nation. 2011: In a closed-door summit, members of the European Union express a desire for this conflict to end. Summer 2012: Military forces attack Hawaii, and set up a military installation on Kauaʻi. The U.S. begins their siege of this installation. December 24, 2012: The United States bombs the installation on Kauaʻi, killing hundreds of military and civilians. The U.S. Considers this operation a success. Early 2013: The National Security Agency begins a disinformation campaign to quell growing US concerns after the bombing of U.S. Civilians. March 2016: A nuclear strike occurs on U.S. soil. June 2016: An aircraft with a nuclear payload is shot down over Italy by unknown aggressors, resulting in catastrophic loss of civilian life. No evidence has been recovered regarding any events after this occurred. It is unclear if the war ended after this point, or the world devolved into a self-destructive nuclear conflict.

Dr. Delkirk: There is one thing they want to be completely and totally clear about. Dr. Voight: Yes? Dr. Delkirk: I want to be certain that this war is not something that happened in our reality. We are not threatened by it. Dr. Voight: Doctor, that's a bit of a complicated question. On the surface, yes, it definitely seems that this war tangibly did not happen here. The collection of items we've uncovered paint a very stark picture of a world that we are quite sure never occurred. Dr. Delkirk: But you have another theory? Dr. Voight: Unfortunately. There is the possibility that the war did happen. (long pause) It could still be happening. Dr. Delkirk: Where? Dr. Voight: Here. On earth, in this reality. Dr. Delkirk: (Scribbles into notebook) Some kind of anti-memetic war? And these pieces of evidence are— Dr. Voight: No. Not an anomalous war. A mundane one. Perhaps contained partially by anomalous means, but a mundane war nonetheless. Dr. Delkirk: SCP-5135 is a full-scale armed conflict, Doctor, involving multiple nuclear attacks and massive loss of both military and civilian life. Dr. Voight: And? Dr. Delkirk: That's not something you could easily hide. Dr. Voight: You're not a military man, are you? If you don't mind me saying so. Dr. Delkirk: No. Dr. Voight: Ever been to Iraq? Dr. Delkirk: No. Dr. Voight: Can you tell me, how do you know the war in Iraq happened? Dr. Delkirk: Through historical records, media reporting— Dr. Voight: And if there was none? (Pause) What if the news never reported on the War in Iraq? Never made statements about it, never decorated soldiers for it. Would you even know it happened? Dr. Delkirk: You're talking about a coverup on a global scale. Wouldn't there be evidence?

SCP-5136 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5136 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5136 is contained at Site-93 in a humanoid containment unit outfitted with radioactive shielding and detection equipment. Personnel interacting physically with SCP-5136 must be outfitted with radiation protective gear at all times and must be trained in de-escalation and relaxation techniques1. Addendum 02/15/2021. Project Inanna is indefinitely suspended. SCP-5136's outdoor excursions are prohibited until further notice. + ARCHIVED: Special Containment Procedures Addendum, 05/02/2020. - ARCHIVED: Special Containment Procedures Addendum, 05/02/2020. Upon recommendation from Lead Researcher Hernández, SCP-5136’s schedule has been updated to include a daily excursion to the wooded grove within Site-93’s perimeter, for the purposes of physical wellbeing and personal meditation. Two security staff equipped with radiation suits are to accompany SCP-5136 on this excursion, which is not to last longer than 90 minutes. Further psychological & emotional evaluations are now to be completed on a weekly basis. + ARCHIVED: Special Containment Procedures Addendum, 07/14/2020. - ARCHIVED: Special Containment Procedures Addendum, 07/14/2020. Upon recommendation from Lead Researcher Hernández, SCP-5136 is now primarily contained by the successful implementation of Project Inanna (see below). This has mitigated the worst effects of SCP-5136’s recent emotional deterioration, and almost completely eliminated any involuntary radioactive emissions. Although Project Inanna represents a significant drain on Site-93 resources, its costs are still significantly lower than those projected for the sophisticated shielding and pacification that containment of SCP-5136 would otherwise require. Research into SCP-5136’s emergent telepathic connection is tentatively approved, but care must be taken when discussing sensitive topics, including Maria Fischer, Elizabeth García, romantic love, depression, loneliness, and heartbreak. Description: SCP-5136 is the designation given to Benjamin Speers, formerly of Lincoln, Nebraska. SCP-5136 constantly emits low-intensity ionizing radiation: a 1-minute exposure to SCP-5136 delivers, on average, a 1.2 μSv dose2. However, in situations of extreme stress – especially when SCP-5136 feels its life is threatened – this emission intensifies exponentially to fatal levels, with no known upper limit. SCP-5136 is generally compliant & nonviolent. Despite its plainly stated dissatisfaction with containment, SCP-5136 has never intentionally used its radioactive emissions to harm personnel or facilitate its own escape. Experimentation to determine SCP-5136’s degree of control over this radiation is indefinitely suspended. + ARCHIVED: Description Addendum, 05/02/2020. - ARCHIVED: Description Addendum, 05/02/2020. Beginning in April 2020, SCP-5136 displayed intensifying symptoms of depression and suicidal ideation, likely due to prolonged isolation. Private counseling3 with Lead Researcher Hernández failed to meaningfully alter SCP-5136’s mental & emotional state. Coupled with SCP-5136’s apparent inability to control its radioactive emissions, this agitation presented significant risk to both Foundation personnel and feasible long-term containment. SCP-5136’s containment procedures were revised to allow for limited time outdoors each day with a security escort, which considerably improved both SCP-5136’s mood and its control over its radioactive emissions. Current evidence suggests that SCP-5136’s increased volatility is somehow linked to its mental state, as its “radiation incontinence” followed shortly after its recent mental breakdown, despite 18 months of stability in prior containment. + ARCHIVED: Description Addendum, 07/14/2020. - ARCHIVED: Description Addendum, 07/14/2020. On July 7, 2020, SCP-5136 began involuntarily emitting near-fatal levels of radiation with no apparent physical or emotional trigger. At the same time, SCP-5136 claimed to have suddenly become aware of Ms. Maria Fischer of Eau Claire, Wisconsin4, despite having never met or heard of her before, and expressed an intense need to “make things better” for her. Questioning led by Dr. Hernández determined that SCP-5136 possessed significant awareness regarding Ms. Fischer’s current emotional state and her history of romantic partners5. A recent period of prolonged loneliness had significantly worsened Ms. Fischer’s mental health, which SCP-5136 claimed to be feeling as well. Given the severity of Maria Fischer’s depression and SCP-5136’s associated distress, taking her into Foundation custody was deemed too great of a risk to both SCP-5136’s agitation and any intensification of its radioactive effect. Ms. Fischer’s water supply was laced with mood stabilizing compounds as a stopgap measure, as containment staff worked to increase radioactive shielding on SCP-5136’s enclosure and devise a more long-term solution. After prolonged discussions, and with the noted objections of the Ethics Committee, Project Inanna was initiated. A viable subject was identified in Elizabeth García, a coworker and acquaintance, who according to colleagues had tentatively flirted with Ms. Fischer on one occasion to no apparent reciprocation. Roughly two weeks after the successful launch of Project Inanna on 07/20/2020, SCP-5136’s radioactive emissions dropped rapidly to near-baseline levels. Continued execution of Project Inanna was deemed necessary until a more permanent solution or explanation for SCP-5136’s volatility could be devised. Due to the roughly 2-week delay between Ms. Fischer’s emotional changes and SCP-5136’s spike in radioactive emissions – and their observed exponential growth after that point – any changes to Ms. Fischer’s emotional state must be resolved immediately via Project Inanna, without waiting to measure their effects on SCP-5136’s radioactivity. Upgrade to Keter designation has been suspended, pending ongoing research into Project Inanna’s long-term viability. Project Inanna: + ARCHIVED: Overview. Access Restricted to Level 3 Personnel. - ARCHIVED: Overview. Access Restricted to Level 3 Personnel. Project Inanna is the ongoing Foundation initiative to covertly maintain the romantic relationship between Maria Fischer and Elizabeth García, both of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Project Inanna’s current volatility status is: CRITICAL. The bulk of Project Inanna focuses on surveillance of communications between Fischer and García, with any direct interference disguised as random chance. As the majority of this interference occurs on the cell phones, personal computers, and office equipment of Ms. Fischer & Ms. García, physical interference is only to be deployed with great care and only as a last resort. Project Inanna Proposal Log Proposal 0001 Date: 2020-07-10 Brief: Manipulation of social media algorithms to promote interest between Fischer and García. Status: Approved Results: Inconclusive. No communication initiated by either subject. Proposal 0002 Date: 2020-07-11 Brief: Manipulation of targeted advertising to promote attendance at a social gathering, centered around a mutual interest of both subjects. Status: Approved Results: Ineffective. Fischer attended the event, but García did not. Extraneous logs condensed. Proposal 0007 Date: 2020-07-15 Brief: Incapacitation of Fischer’s car and blocking of calls to coworkers other than García. Status: Approved Results: Partial success. Fischer rode with García for 3 subsequent workdays, with both displaying evident satisfaction at the arrangement. Notes: Looks like the direct approach worked. Let's not make a habit out of it. –Lead Researcher Hernández Proposal 0008 Date: 2020-07-20 Brief: Manipulation of Fischer’s internet searches for takeout food to highlight a local restaurant frequented by García. Manipulation of García’s targeted advertising to promote the same location. Status: Approved Results: Success. Subjects met at restaurant and opted to dine together. Instead of returning home, Fischer joined García at her house after dinner. Proposal 0020 Date: 2020-10-07 Brief: Alteration of jury duty assignments to remove García from roster, to allow subjects more time together. Status: Rejected by Lead Researcher Hernández Notes: There’s no reason to micromanage their personal lives or dig deeper than we need to. They’re together, things are going well, and SCP-5136 seems satisfied. We don’t have to make things literally perfect for them. And anyway, they deserve at least an iota of privacy. Proposal 0041 Date: 2021-01-10 Brief: Manipulation of targeted advertising to highlight “couples massage” offer at local spa, to rekindle waning intimacy. Status: Approved Results: Ineffective. Fischer suggested a joint spa session, but García declined to join, citing lack of energy. Subjects initiate fourth argument since Thanksgiving. Fischer begins to display signs of distress consistent with those prior to Project Inanna. Site Director Stephenson notified. Proposal 0042 Date: 2021-01-11 Brief: Application of a mild mood-altering compound to increase García’s desire for intimacy, to match that of Fischer’s. Status: Rejected by Lead Researcher Hernández and Ethics Committee liaison. Notes: Jesus. We are not slipping anyone a goddamned love potion. Find another fix. Proposal 0047 Date: 2021-02-05 Brief: Application of Class-A amnestics to suppress memories of this evening’s argument and subsequent termination of romantic relationship by García. Status: Rejected by Lead Researcher Hernández and Ethics Committee liaison. Rejection overruled by Site Director Stephenson. Results: Amnestics deployed to both subjects at approximately 23:20. Subsequent behavior within acceptable parameters. No significant side effects noted. Notes: Dr. Hernández reassigned. Additional resources diverted to Project Inanna, including pharmacological & amnestics experts. At 03:52 on February 15th, Ms. García attempted to call Dr. Hernández’s cell phone, despite no evidence or testimony from Dr. Hernández about their prior acquaintance. A newly-implemented script rerouted her call and recorded her voice message, unbeknownst to Dr. Hernández. Hi, Raul, It’s Elizabeth. I know we haven’t talked since April and I’m really, really sorry it’s so late, or early, right now, I guess. I’ve been up all night, I’m just thinking and, and I wanted your input, I mean, I know you’re a psychologist. How much do you know about mental illnesses? Like if somebody had one. How would you know, that kind of thing. Like, what are the symptoms. Last time we talked, I told you about Maria. Well we’re dating and it was nice for awhile but then it just felt, um, not right. I wasn’t feeling it. And I thought it was just me overthinking and self-sabotaging like every other time, because we still had fun together, right, and God knows I'm good at ruining a good thing but it all felt a little…perfect? Too good to be true? Paranoia, right? I know “paranoid schizophrenia”, maybe that’s it. I think it can’t be that, but then I think how, how can the universe just, like, give me what I want like this? I know you told me to just be myself, be patient, it'll all work out. But I look back and the coincidences, they just feel too convenient, too perfect. Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and we didn’t do anything. I don’t remember doing anything. Except I know we did, we were somewhere, because I’m wearing my favorite dress right now. The one Maria got me for our 6-month. She said it was a steal. Like the universe just–– Oh God. Like the universe just wanted me to have it. Valentine’s Day. Right. I don’t remember it, I don’t remember anything. It’s all a blur, I feel like we went out but my brain is just this fog recently, I go to text her and there are messages I don’t remember sending, messages I can’t find that I’m certain I sent. I look at her and I…I just want to hit her. But I can’t remember any reason I’d want to. And I feel so shitty right now, but it’s like my body is constantly energized, giddy, like it usually feels after we… Bipolar disorder, I know that one. Maybe it’s that. Or maybe paranoia. Or maybe I just watch too much TV. This wasn’t okay. Calling you like this, it was a weird thing to do. I’m sorry if I woke you. It’s probably nothing. When confronted with the recording, Researcher Hernández resigned his position with the Foundation and submitted himself willingly for interrogation and amnestic treatment. Project Inanna has been suspended indefinitely. + Interview Log, SCP-5136. Project Inanna Decommission Followup. - Interview Log, SCP-5136. Project Inanna Decommission Followup. Date: 2021-02-16 Interviewed: SCP-51366 Interviewer: Dr. Ivanova, Interim Lead Researcher, SCP-5136 Dr. Ivanova: Good evening, Ben. I have a few follow-up questions from our earlier discussion, if you feel up to it. SCP-5136: Of course, Doctor. I’m sorry again for causing this whole mess. Dr. Ivanova: Right now, your candor is more important than your guilt. SCP-5136: Of course. I won’t lie again. Dr. Ivanova: I’m glad to hear it. (pause) Dr. Hernández claims that you faked your way through the “empathic link” tests on Maria Fischer with his help and a few subtle in-the-moment cues. An impressive piece of theatre. SCP-5136: Well, he trained me for it extensively. Dr. Ivanova: The private counseling. SCP-5136: Right. (pause) That’s not gonna ruin it, is it? For any other, um, skips? That might actually need the counseling? Dr. Ivanova: This process is about more than punishing Dr. Hernández. This is about making sure it can’t happen again. I can’t make any promises about how we’ll use your answers, but I know that won’t stop you from being honest about something so important. SCP-5136: How– how can you be sure of that? Dr. Ivanova: If you were willing to actually hurt people to make yourself more comfortable, you would’ve gone nuclear the day we brought you in. Silence. Dr. Ivanova makes several notes. Dr. Ivanova: To be clear: you had no knowledge of either Elizabeth García or Maria Fischer, prior to this scheme with Dr. Hernández? SCP-5136: Right. Though from his descriptions, I feel like I know Elizabeth pretty well now. She sounds nice. (pause) He cares a lot about her. That first planning session – where he proposed the whole plan, promised I'd get to see grass again – he'd talked to her the previous night. Comforting her for hours. He was so sad for her, so desperate to just help out even a little bit. I think he figured it'd only take a firm nudge. Dr. Ivanova: He overestimated his ability to keep the project low-profile. SCP-5136: Right, yeah. Dr. Ivanova: You’ll be happy to hear that Dr. Hernández corroborated your story. Insisted the entire scheme was his idea. Even your faked agitation and the “nature walks” cure. SCP-5136: Yes, that's right. Well, mostly. I really was having a bad time of it. Dr. Ivanova: But no involuntary radiation? SCP-5136: Right. That was his idea. Pretend I couldn’t control it if I was in a bad place, mentally. He told me that you all — um, that The Foundation sometimes needs to be given a reason to be kind. Dr. Ivanova: Did he. SCP-5136: I believed him, didn't I? Dr. Ivanova: Those are all the follow-up questions I have for now. Thank you for your time, Ben. SCP-5136: Um, Doctor? Before you go…I know I’m in trouble right now, but considering my, uh, compliance…I mean, Dr. Hernández talked about how nasty some of the other things you contain are, and I’m not saying I’d ever…I'm just, um… Dr. Ivanova: I'll see what we can do about your walks. I can't promise anything. SCP-5136: Um, thanks. Dr. Ivanova: Have a good evening, Ben. SCP-5136: Thanks, Doctor. You too. <End Log> Footnotes 1.

SCP-5137 | euclid | SCP-5137: Friendship Is Only Skin Deep by Sebarus ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item#: 5137 Level1 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: warning link to memo Special Containment Procedures: Each instance of SCP-5137 is kept in a separate containment chamber. Living personnel are not to come in contact with SCP-5137 outside of testing. Those that come within close proximity to SCP-5137 are required to adopt a friendly disposition towards the instance. Description: SCP-5137 denotes a number of thaumaturgically animated constructs made out of an intact human epidermis. SCP-5137 instances resemble previously living humans, and consist of the epidermis, hair, and nails of the individual. Their overall body shape remains humanoid in form, regardless of their lack of muscles, bones, and other support structures. Despite lacking the required anatomy, SCP-5137 are capable of locomotion, vocalization, sight and hearing. They possess a rudimentary sentience and a limited vocabulary, most of which revolves around the concept of friendship. When in close proximity to a living human, SCP-5137 will split down the middle and attempt to envelop the individual. If unobstructed, SCP-5137 will morph in size and coloration until it is indistinguishable from the subject's actual skin. SCP-5137 refer to this behavior as 'hugging'. However, if the subject shows aversion to SCP-5137, it will detach the subject's epidermis through unknown means. Brain activity will immediately cease, and the detached epidermis will become a new instance of SCP-5137. As of writing, the Foundation is in possession of 27 instances of SCP-5137. ▶ Addendum 5137.3 ◀ ▼ Close ▼ Incident Report 5137-3: During testing, an instance of SCP-5137 was discovered to have stored the SD card of a handheld camera within the creases of its body. Upon removal of the item, SCP-5137 showed signs of considerable distress. The following are transcripts of the footage stored within the card. [START FOOTAGE] {Date on the timestamp reads 05.08.2020. The camera has been placed on a flat surface, facing a bed. A man (hereby referred to as PoI-5137) in his 30s walks into frame and sits on the bed. His appearance is disheveled, and he is sniffling, clearly in emotional distress. He sighs, before beginning to speak.} PoI-5137: So, my therapist told me that I should film myself every day. Just talk to the camera about my thoughts. She said it'll help clear my head, offer some self-reflection, or something. I don't know. {He sighs and punches the bed.} PoI-5137: Fuck, this is so stupid. Why am I even doing this? [END FOOTAGE] [START FOOTAGE] {Date on the timestamp reads 06.08.2020. The man is sitting on the bed with his head in his hands.} PoI-5137: Hi. It's me again. For the record, I still think this is dumb, but I guess it's nice to talk every once in a while. So not everything is just inside my head. {He shakes his head and chuckles.} PoI-5137: Man, how sad am I? The only thing I can talk to is a camera. Especially now that Tom's gone, I have no human interaction anymore. Sure there's Dr. Ashwood, but she only talks to me because I pay her. {Pause.} I miss Tom. I really do. I don't know why he put up with me for as long as he did to be honest. Shit, maybe that's why his heart gave out. Maybe I'm the reason that he's dead. {Pause.} I'm so alone. [END FOOTAGE] [START FOOTAGE] {Date on the timestamp reads 07.08.2020. This time the man is sitting at a table, leaning towards the camera, which has been set on the table. In front of him is an old book with a black, leathery cover. The man opens his mouth, as if about to say something, and then closes it. This repeats for a while.} PoI-5137: So… I might be going insane. More insane than I already am, that is. But anyway, I think I know how to bring Tom back… And I know how absolutely bonkers mad that sounds, but hear me out. Walking home from the grocery store, I fell down a sinkhole. And like Alice tumbling all the way to Wonderland, I fell out… somewhere else. A library. A huge library, bigger than any structure I have ever seen before. It was so tall, that you could fit skyscrapers inside of it. And it was teeming with… I guess people, but not normal people. Not human people. No, there were all kinds of weird, terrifying creatures of different shapes and sizes. It was like the Mos Eisley cantina scene! Obviously, I was terrified, screaming and scrambling all over the place, but then this well dressed dude, another human, with an eye tattooed on his forehead, came up to me and calmed me down. He said his name was Basar, and that I was safe. He told that we were in the "Wanderer's Library", an infinite library that functions as a hub between dimensions. Can you believe that? It's insane! He assured me that nothing there was allowed to hurt me. That the Library enforces pacifism. Then, after telling me the basics, about the Librarians, the rules, how loaning works, etc, he then just kind of… shuffled off. I was still really overwhelmed, but the curiosity got the best of me, and I started perusing the shelves. I… must have spent hours there. You wouldn't believe all the things I learnt. I also found… this. {The man lifts the book up and shows it to the camera. The cover reads "Engrams of the Dead".} PoI-5137: I got myself a library card and loaned this. It's a book on necromancy. Most of the things here are… complex and dangerous, but there's one ritual that seems easy enough. "Crafting and Awakening of A Skin Construct". {The man looks at the camera and smiles. His eyes are welling up.} PoI-5137: I can bring Tom back. [END FOOTAGE] [START FOOTAGE] {Date on the timestamp reads 08.08.2020. The camera appears to be on a tripod in a living room. Furniture has been moved to the sides to make more room in the middle, where the corpse of an adult human lays atop an intricate, thaumaturgic sigil. Lit candles are positioned on the edges of the sigil.} PoI-5137: I went and dug Tom up. Poor bastard must have been cold down there, in the dirt. It's okay though, that's over now. Well, almost over. First we need to get him on his feet again! Then everything will be fine again. Neither of us will have to be alone anymore. {The man kneels down next to the body, and begins flaying it with a knife.} PoI-5137: Just hang in there, Tom. It won't be too long now. {Removal of the corpse's epidermis takes several hours. Extraneous dialogue has been omitted. Upon completion of the task, the man drags the skinless body out of frame and arranges the skin in the middle of the sigil. He then moves behind it and begins chanting in an unknown language. After several minutes, the sigil flashes, and the candles are extinguished as their flames are sucked into the skin, which then animates, getting on all fours and turning towards the man.} PoI-5137: Tom! It actually worked! Oh my god, it actually worked! Welcome back! How are you feeling? {Pause.} PoI-5137: Oh, right. It says that I need to state your purpose. I… I need you to be my friend so I won't be alone anymore. Like before. Does that sound good? SCP-5137-1: (In an exaggeratedly cheerful tone) Friend… Yes! I will be friend. I will not let you be alone. This is my purpose. PoI-5137: Great! Let's go eat. I made you your favorite food as a welcome back gift. [END FOOTAGE] [START FOOTAGE] {Date on the timestamp reads 09.08.2020. The man is sitting on the bed again. SCP-5137-1 is crouching behind him, leaning on his shoulder.} PoI-5137: I have now spent an entire day with Tom and we've been having tons of fun! Playing video games, cooking, and just shooting the shit. Like in the old times! It's like nothing has changed. {SCP-5137-1's face buckles inwards.} PoI-5137: I even cancelled my appointments with Dr. Ashwood. I don't need her anymore, I have Tom now. I do wish we could go outside though. I miss our hiking trips. Actually, hmm, maybe we could go hiking somewhere really remote. Would that be fun Tom? SCP-5137-1: I will go anywhere with my friend! PoI-5137: Yeah! Let's do that next weekend. For now though, I'm really tired, so we gotta sleep. {The man appears to forget to turn off the camera as he prepares to sleep. SCP-5137-1 splits down the middle and envelops him, altering its shape until it is unperceivable aside from occasional shifting. The man caresses SCP-5137-1 as he goes to sleep.} PoI-5137: It's good to have you back. {After a while, the man falls asleep. As he does so, SCP-5137-1 detaches from him. It crawls up the wall, on to the ceiling and then out of the bedroom window.} [END FOOTAGE] [START FOOTAGE] {Date on the timestamp reads 10.08.2020. The camera is being held by the man, who is walking through his house.} PoI-5137: Tom! Tom, where are you? {The man walks in to the kitchen, where SCP-5137-1 is stood. It turns around towards the man and smiles.} PoI-5137: Oh, there you are. SCP-5137-1: Good morning, friend! SCP-5137-2: Yes, good morning! {The camera whips around to the ceiling, revealing another instance of SCP-5137.} PoI-5137: Where… where did that come from? SCP-5137-1: I brought you another friend! PoI-5137: What? How? And why? SCP-5137-1: I don't want you to be alone, so I went out when you were sleeping and made a new friend! SCP-5137-2: You should never be alone. SCP-5137-1: And you never will! PoI-5137: What? No, this isn't… this shouldn't be possible. How did you make him, Tom? Who is he? {The sound of a doorbell is audible.} PoI-5137: Both of you, hide. We will continue this later. {Both SCP-5137 instances scamper into cupboards. The man holds the camera down as he walks to the front door and opens. The legs of an elderly woman become visible.} Unknown Woman: Hi… sorry to bother you, but have you seen my husband Gerry lately? He didn't come home last night, and he isn't answering his phone. I'm getting a bit worried, so I'm going down the neighborhood in hopes that someone would know where he is. PoI-5137: N-no! I… I haven't seen him. Unknown Woman: Are you okay, young man? You seem a bit distraught. PoI-5137: No, everything's fine. I just… I just lost a friend recently. Unknown Woman: Oh, sorry to hear that. Well uh, if you hear anything or if you see Gerry, would you be so kind as to come and tell me? PoI-5137: I will. I uh, I hope you find him. {The man closes the door and walks back to the kitchen, where the two SCP-5137 instances are waiting.} PoI-5137: Gerry… is that you? {SCP-5137-2 turns its head upside down, as if cocking it.} SCP-5137-2: Hello friend! PoI-5137: Oh god, oh god, oh god… Tom, how could you? This isn't what I wanted! Why couldn't it just be us? SCP-5137-1: But… you need friends! {SCP-5137-2 frowns.} SCP-5137-2: Do you not like me? I can be a good friend… Do you need me to give you a hug, so you can see how good of a friend I can be? {SCP-5137-2 stands up and splits down the middle. Thaumaturgic energy begins coursing through its innards, as it slowly walks towards the man.} PoI-5137: No! No! I mean… no, I'm sorry. I'm… just having a migraine. That's why I lashed out. It wasn't anything you did. {SCP-5137-2 closes and smiles.} SCP-5137-2: Good to hear that, friend! [END FOOTAGE] [START FOOTAGE] {Date on the timestamp reads 13.08.2020. The man is sitting on his bed again, with his head in his hands. Sniffling is audible.} PoI-5137: I never wanted this to happen. I just wanted my friend back, that's all. Why couldn't he just come back the way he was supposed to? Instead I… I made a monster. How could I have been so blind? {The man stands up, taking a deep breath and straightening his back.} PoI-5137: I know what has to be done. I started this, and now it is time to end it. {He takes the camera, and walks out of his room. SCP-5137-1 is standing at the end of the corridor, looking towards the man. It cocks its head and the man stops.} SCP-5137-1: Hello, friend. {Its tone is less jovial than usual, and its smile isn't as wide.} PoI-5137: Tom, we need to talk. SCP-5137-1: Of course. I like talking to my friend. PoI-5137: Let's go to the kitchen for this. {The man approaches SCP-5137-1. It does not move.} PoI-5137: You're blocking my path. {SCP-5137-1 stays still for a second, before stepping to the side. It stares at the man while doing so. The man walks to the kitchen, frequently turning to look at SCP-5137-1, who is following behind. In the kitchen, he turns towards SCP-5137-1.} PoI-5137: I know you killed Gerry. SCP-5137-1: I don't understand what you're talking about. PoI-5137: Don't act stupid! It's over! We're over! I don't know what you are, but you're not Tom! And you are certainly not my friend. {SCP-5137-1 frowns and steps forward.} SCP-5137-1: Let me give you a- {The man grabs a knife off the counter and slashes SCP-5137-1's throat open. It stops and its head flops backwards. The opening slowly stitches together, as its head rises back to its original position.} SCP-5137-1 You have damaged me. Why would friend do such a thing? All I've done is make sure you wouldn't be alone. PoI-5137: I'm not your friend! And I never will be! Get it through your empty head and then get out! SCP-5137-1: But… what about all the other friends I've brought you? PoI-5137: What other- {Several instances of SCP-5137 emerge from behind corners, out of cupboards, windows and air vents. They crawl across surfaces, surrounding the man as they approach.} All of the SCP-5137 instances in unison: Why don't you like us? We just want to be your friends. Let us be your friends. PoI-5137: No, no- How are there so many? How are there- I'm so sorry. Please, go away! I'm so sorry! I never- {The SCP-5137 instances swarm over the man, who accidentally lets go off the camera. Screaming and ripping sounds become audible, until they abruptly stop. The swarm dissipates, as a new instance of SCP-5137 detaches from the man's now skinless body. It walks up to the camera, smiles, and grabs it.} [END FOOTAGE] ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5137" by Sebarus, from the SCP Wiki.

Image Credit: See comments. ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} 2/5138 LEVEL 2/5138 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-5138 Safe Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned MTF Site-93 Dr. Stanley Arthur Dr. Franco Tonnelier Beta-2 ("Bayou Boys") Special Containment Procedures SCP-5138-1, -2, & -3 are stored in individual medical stasis chambers at Site-93, with an additional three chambers held in on-site reserve for any additional iterations that are found. The misinformation project establishing the existence of a hitherto unknown group of indigenous peoples around the Louisiana bayou has been largely successful. Foundation construct Frederick.aic has been tasked with maintaining the digital aspects of this campaign and has so far removed any opposing speculation from non-official sources. Additionally, all reports generated by Frederick.aic regarding any new sightings of the "Louisiana Bog Men" are to be classified L2/5138 and forwarded to the current SCP-5138 head researcher for investigation. Description SCP-5138 refers to a collection of anomalously-preserved humanoid corpses pulled from the Louisiana bayou south of New Orleans. Over the course of 15 months, three iterations of SCP-5138 were recovered and are being held in Foundation containment. SCP-5138-1, c. 2012 Catalog No.: SCP-5138-1 Acquisition Date: 08 May, 2012 Description: SCP-5138-1 consists of a head, thorax, and portions of both sinister and dexter brachial limbs. The thorax shows signs of extensive damage to its lower portion, consistent with violent separation from the remainder of the cadaver. In a non-anomalous corpse, the state of decay is such that it would be believed that this was the likely cause of death. SCP-5138-2, c. 2013 Catalog No.: SCP-5138-2 Acquisition Date: 21 February, 2013 Description: SCP-5138-2 consists of a thorax and both sinistral and dextral upper limbs, in toto. Similarly to SCP-5138-1, the damage to the lower portion of the thorax is evidence of a violent separation between upper and lower portions of the cadaver. SCP-5138-3, c. 2013 Catalog No.: SCP-5138-3 Acquisition Date: 13 September, 2013 Description: SCP-5138-3 consists of a head, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and portions of both sinistral and dextral upper limbs. While the abdomen remains intact, the lower limbs appear to have been surgically removed prior to the subject's vivisepulture. While all three SCP-5138 objects are capable of semi-autonomous locomotion, the act of such motion has caused significant damage to the remainder of each object due to their overall desiccated state. Additionally, SCP-5138-1 and SCP-5138-3 are capable of minor vocalizations, though they have yet to produce anything intelligible. Attached Addenda Discovery SCP-5138 recovery locations All three iterations of SCP-5138 were recovered from a region in the south eastern portion of the Biloxi State Wildlife Management Area in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. Beta-2 assets within the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries responded to an inquiry by the SWMA rangers relating to possible criminal activity in the Lake Borgne area and were able to recover iterations -1 and -2 with minimal intervention. SCP-5138-3 was recovered several months later after a news report was released in the Gambit, a local alternative weekly publication in the New Orleans area. Foundation .aic flagged the article and forwarded it to Site-93 where it was reviewed by site administration and MTF Beta-2 agent Christophe Melancon was assigned to investigate. ■ 5138.doc.01 - Acquisition Interview Transcript ■ □ 5138.doc.01 - Acquisition Interview Transcript □ Date: 13 Sept., 2013 Agent: Lt. Christophe Melancon Interviewed: Clancy DuBos, Gambit Weekly staff writer Research Object(s): SCP-5138-3 Acquisition Foreword: The following was recorded by Agent Melancon's personal recording device and is audio only. Agent Melancon, posing as a Detective with the New Orleans Police Department, had been sent to interview Mr. DuBos at his home regarding the article in the Gambit and to ascertain the legitimacy of the claim. [BEGIN LOG] Lt. Melancon: Thanks for agreeing to see me, Mr. DuBos. DuBos: Call me Clancy. Everyone else does. Lt. Melancon: Perfect. I'm surprised you would ask me to meet you here and not at the paper's office. DuBos: [chuckling] It ain't every day a member of the gendarmes want to speak with me. Sure, it ain't the first time or nothing, but, you know. Plus, you said you was wonderin' about the Bog Man, so I figured it'd be best just to show ya. Lt. Melancon: So you have it here? Why didn't you just turn it over to the morgue or to the folks over at Tulane? They'd be better to confirm your claims. DuBos: Oh, yeah, sure. The Tulane boys'll be around eventually, but I wanted to see if there was a reward or something before I just hand my prize over to them. That's the thing, you see. I ain't never heard of no bog men in the US. The Bayou ain't exactly no bog, yeah? I didn't know they could do that to no body. Is why you're here first. Make sure it ain't no foul play or nothing. Lt. Melancon: Well, I'd leave the specifics to the coroner. I'd have asked him to be here if your article had mentioned the possibility of a crime. You said "bog man" though, and mummies typically aren't the coroner's area. DuBos: Heh, well, like I said, I might get something for my troubles. Lt. Melancon: Where'd you say you found it? DuBos: Well, my cousin, he gots himself an airboat and he lets me borrow it from time to time. I was out doing some brine fishing near to the Biloxi Management Area, and I found it out there. Just sticking up out of the mud, ugly as you please. Lt. Melancon: Right. So instead of calling someone, you just brought it back here? DuBos: Hey, I ain't in trouble or nothing am I? I done called you guys, but none of y'all would believe me. So I wrote the article and now you send someone calling. Lt. Melancon: It isn't my call, Clancy. Next time, just let one of the Rangers know before you go disturbing the site, ok? So, show me this thing. DuBos: I got it out in the garage. It started stinking something fierce, and Teesha didn't want it in the house. [A few seconds pass, then the sound of a garage door opening can be heard on the recording] DuBos: So, I had this big ass cooler for fish, right? Big enough for a small gator if I catch one. Always wanted to catch me a gator, never did tho- [DuBos breaks off with a yelp and the sound of something falling to the ground can be heard] DuBos: It fucking moved. Jesus Christ, what the fuck? [Scuffling noises and violent cursing can be heard, then a gunshot.] [END LOG] Afterword: Lt. Melancon reported that SCP-5138-3 had pulled itself out of the ice chest and had crawled across the floor towards the garage door where it attempted to grab at DuBos' leg when Lt. Melancon pulled his sidearm and discharged it at the -3 subject. It ceased moving long enough for a team to arrive and secure the area. DuBose and his wife were amnesticized and the Gambit issued a retraction of the story the following week.

Attached is the full review, but the short version isn't really less complicated. Obviously we don't get bog mummies quite like this in Louisiana. There are quite a few still being found over in Florida, but the conditions of the peat bogs over there are such that they are much wetter than the bogs where preserved bodies like these would be found. For the most part, dermal tissue and internal organs don't survive the mummification process in Florida bogs, though the skeletons themselves are remarkably well preserved. Though, even with the preservation process you'd get in much colder climates like Denmark, you typically don't find bog bodies in such a well-preserved state that they actually try and talk back to you. All three SCP-5138 objects create extremely localized fluctuations in the Hume field, which is to be expected for partially animated corpses. What's more interesting is the trace amounts of Akiva radiation that accompany each object. While not enough to signify that these were ritually sacrificed, there is definitely more than what you'd find in a Type Green transformation. And the near-total lack of any thaumaturgic residue rules out a Type Blue entirely. This led me to get in touch with one of our assets in La Rue. Granted, most of the weird shit we find in the bayou can be traced there, but it never hurts to be sure. She was extremely reluctant to talk about the goings on of the Leadership of La Rue, but she did clue me in to some missing Global Occult Coalition agents in the La Rue area. Franco F. Tonnelier, MD, Ph.D Site-93 Senior Researcher ■ 5138.doc.03 - Classified L4/5138 ■ □ 5138.doc.03 - Classified L4/5138 □ On 12 October, 2013, Dr. Arthur accessed the joint Foundation/GOC field database and was able to confirm through existing DNA records that the SCP-5138 bodies were the remains of Special Agent James Blount (SCP-5138-1), Special Agent Robert Craig (SCP-5138-2), and Special Agent Seth Avery (SCP-5138-3). All three agents were involved in a GOC taskforce assigned to the New Orleans region that had been ordered to gather intelligence on how to infiltrate the LoI-504 ("La Rue Macabre") nexus. While the exact date of their disappearance is not available, the last update to any of their folios in the field database was in January 2012, listing all three members of the 5-member task force as "On Assignment". The locations of Special Agent Brian Silverton and Special Agent-In-Charge Andrew Ford are currently unknown. Update - 04/10/2014 On 9 April, 2014 the Aureole Orbital Recon Array1 detected a significant spike in Akiva radiation in the Biloxi Wildlife Management area. An MTF Beta-2 ("Bayou Boys") task force was sent to investigate the area and report back on any findings. The following is a transcript & still from the footage recovered from Sergeant Nicolas Arnaud's body camera. Date: 9 April, 2014 Exploration Team: MTF Beta-2 Gamma Squad Team members: SGT Nicolas Arnaud (Team lead), PFC Elsbeth Montpelier, & SPC Augustin Baptiste Control: Dr. Franco Tonnelier Foreword: The team was airlifted into the area by helicopter and dropped several hundred meters from the location of the Akiva spike. This transcript is taken from Sgt. Arnaud's body cam with irrelevant portions removed for brevity. [BEGIN LOG] Baptiste: I got somethin' Sarge. Looks like a body. My Bonny's2 readin' 1.3, so I'm bettin' this where the Spike was. Arnaud: Heard, I'm coming up. Bette, keep your eyes out and down. If it's a body, we're gonna get gators. [Arnaud moves up to stand beside Baptiste, and a small area of dark mud can be seen in the foreground. The head, arms, and upper torso of a body can be seen sticking out of the marsh.] Arnaud: Control, I think we just found Agent Ford. Control: Frederick.aic has returned an 81% probable on facial recognition. Life signs? Arnaud: Stand by. [Arnaud steps forward and the view tilts as he leans down and places his fingers to the side of the body's neck.] Arnaud: Negative, no pulse. Body's cold to the- [He breaks off and quickly steps back as the body's eyes open.] Baptiste: Fuck me, that's not a corpse Sarge. Arnaud: There wasn't a goddamn pulse. Control, please be advised, this thing is looking at us. [The body begins to shift slightly in the mud, as if it was attempting to free itself.] SCP-5138-4: H- Help m-me. I c-can't feel m-my legs. Control: Stand clear, Arnaud. Beta squad is en route for recovery. Arnaud: Heard, control. You want me to talk to this thing? SCP-5138-4: I c-can hear y-you, S-sergeant. P-please help m-me. I d-don't want to d-die. Baptiste: Little late for that, buddy. Arnaud: Can it, Baptiste. Ford, is that you? SCP-5138-4: Y-yes. I'm F-ford. G-GOC, s-special operations. Arnaud: What happened to you, Ford? SCP-5138-4: I g-got into th-the Nexus. J-joe3 didn't l-like that m-much. Montpelier: There's a shock. Joe's always seemed to take kindly to people that try to get in and kill his folk. Arnaud: So he just tossed you into the muck? SCP-5138-4: N-not exactly. H-he… he k-kept me around f-for a bit. S-said he w-was g-gonna make an example of m-me. Arnaud: He tortured you? SCP-5138-4: Y-yes. I d-don't remember a-all of it, th-though. Arnaud: Ok, buddy. I'm gonna help get you out of the mud. Just hold tight. Control: Belay that, Sergeant. Beta team's on their way. Arnaud: The Bonnies are up to 1.5, Control. Things are stabilizing, and I don't like leaving a guy stuck in the mud like this. Control: Fine. Be careful. Any blips on your meters, and you get out. [Arnaud moves forward to step behind SCP-5138-4. He reaches down and grasps it under its arms.] Arnaud: Ok, Ford. I'm gonna lift. On three, see if you can kick free of the muck, ok? SCP-5138-4: Oh-ok. I'll t-try. [Arnaud counts to three and then pulls, but stumbles back almost immediately. He falls to the ground, causing SCP-5138-4 to fall out of view of the camera.] Baptiste: Oh fuck that. Fuck that! Control: Sergeant! What's happening. Your heart rate just spiked hard, and I don't have a clear view. Arnaud: Fuckin' thing came out of the mud easier than I thought. Fucking Christ, he ain't got no fucking legs. His shit just fuckin' stops at his ribs. [END LOG] SCP-5138-4 was recovered by the Beta-2 beta team and contained along with the other SCP-5138 instances. In order to maintain operational security surrounding the agreement between the Foundation and the administration of LoI-504, the Global Occult Coalition has not been notified. The location of Special Agent Silverton is still unknown. Dr. Stanley Arthur, the current Site-93 Director requested an interview with PoI-504-L ("Papa Legba")4. PoI-504-L agreed to a meeting and the two of them scheduled to meet in one of the private dining rooms at Antoine's, a local fine dining establishment in the French Quarter. Date: 15 April, 2014 Interviewer: Dr. Stanley Arthur Interviewed: PoI-504-L ("Papa Legba") Foreword: When Dr. Arthur arrived as scheduled, PoI-504-L was already there, seated at the only table in the private dining room. An array of small dishes covered the table, including a bottle and two wine flutes. The following was captured from a camera hidden in Dr. Arthur's spectacles. Dr. Arthur: Good evening Mr. Legba. Thank you for agreeing to meet with me. Legba: Of couse, Doctor Arthur. Wouldn't want you to be thinkin' I an' I bein' rude. We has ourselves an' agreement, Doctor. I will oblige you the meetin', an' it lets me shows off a bit. Dr. Arthur: I was wondering why you chose to meet here, and in a private room, no less. Legba: Old man Alciatore an' I was friends, you see. When he was settin' up, we helped him and his get off the ground. Got him things he couldn't get no wheres else. We still be supplyin' a lot of the eats 'ere. So, I get this table at my leisure. [He gestures around at the empty room] Legba: An' the privacy that comes with it. Dr. Arthur: I appreciate the gesture, Mr. Legba. I just don't understand why you're making it. Legba: You ain't gon' like what you've come here to learn. Dr. Arthur: I see. So you know why I asked you to meet with me. Legba: I be knowin' that, an' more that y'all don't be knowin' enough t' ask. This here's my home, Doctor. I be knowin' all its' goins-on. Dr. Arthur: So you know about SCP-5138, then. Legba: You thinkin' that them Gocker boys're the first group of patty rollers caught tryin'ta get inna La Rue? You bes' disabuse yerself of that right now. Theys ain't the first, sure as shit ain't gon' be the last. Dr. Arthur: So, you condone Joe's actions then? Legba: 'Tain't 'bout condonin' nothin', Doc. Joe's been protectin' La Rue since afore you Jailers set up shop anywheres. Since afore this was the "Land of the free an' home of the brave" an' all that nonsense. 'Twasn't free then, 'tain't free now. Dr. Arthur: I see. Legba: No, you don't. How could you? You is all sittin' pretty over in that compound o' yers, you ain't 'bout to worry 'bout no collar goin' 'bout yer neck. You be one o' them that puts collars on necks. We do what we must to survive, Doc. Even if that means makin' deals wit' tha devil hisself. Dr. Arthur: Is that what Joe is? The Devil? Legba: [Laughing] You deaf as well as blind? Joe 'tain't the devil, Doc. You is. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5139 | safe | LightlessLantern SCP-5139: A Family Item No: SCP-5139 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5139 is to be kept under the ownership of Foundation shell company Shropshire County Properties. All unauthorised persons entering SCP-5139 are to be detained, questioned, and treated with Class-B amnestics before being returned to their place of origin. SCP-5139-1 through -5 are to be stored in standard storage lockers at Site-26. Helenne Richardson is to be located and questioned concerning her connection with SCP-5139. The remaining members of the Richardson family are to be monitored in case of further anomalous activity. Description: SCP-5139 is a two-storey terraced house in Church Stretton, Shropshire, England. Prior to its discovery, SCP-5139's occupants were the Richardson family, comprised of 45-year-old Thomas Richardson, 43-year-old Helenne Richardson, 17-year-old Mary Richardson, 15-year-old John Richardson, and 11-year-old Sarah Richardson. SCP-5139 is non-anomalous except for the presence of SCP-5139-1 through -5 within it. SCP-5139-1 is an auditory cognitohazardous voicemail left on the phone of Mary Richardson by Helenne Richardson on 2013-02-12. Subjects who have listened to this voicemail claim to remember the contents of SCP-5139-1 perfectly, but refuse to disclose its contents to others. Attempts at transcribing SCP-5139-1, whether through the use of text-to-speech programs or Foundation Artificially Intelligent Conscripts, have resulted in illegible and corrupted transcripts. SCP-5139-2 through -5 are 4 humanoid corpses discovered in the main living room of SCP-5139. Analysis of SCP-5139-2 through -5 is hampered by advanced semantic dissociation which causes all analysis to result in descriptions of SCP-5139-2 through -5 that, while undeniably correct, are extremely vague. SCP-5139-2 through -5 have not undergone decomposition while in Foundation custody. Addendum 1: Discovery of SCP-5139 For several months prior to the discovery of SCP-5139, local police had received complaints regarding arguments originating from the Richardson household. This culminated in police being called to the household on 2013-01-25 due to a neighbour claiming that Helenne Richardson and Thomas Richardson were attacking each other. While police did question Thomas Richardson, they refused to charge him with assault due to a lack of admissible physical evidence coupled with Helenne Richardson's refusal to testify against her husband in court. Following this incident, Helenne Richardson resigned from her position as the Head of Geography at Church Stretton secondary school on 2012-02-10. No information regarding her reasoning for this has been found; however, fellow members of staff claimed she had been acting abnormally reclusive in the days leading up to her resignation. Thomas Richardson reported Helenne Richardson as a missing person to local police on 2013-02-12. Following a brief inspection of SCP-5139 and interviews with the Richardson family, police focused their attention on locating Helenne Richardson. SCP-5139-2 through -5 were discovered by Mary Richardson on 2013-02-17 upon returning home from school. Police were called and quickly reported their presence to the British Occult Service. After their analysis found that SCP-5139 did not pose a threat to the United Kingdom, control of the anomaly was passed to the Foundation under the Coronation Accords. Addendum 2: Analysis of SCP-5139 SCP-5139 Analysis SCP-5139-2 Lazy, Useless, Wasteful SCP-5139-3 Cold, Slow, Uncommunicative SCP-5139-4 Emotional, Unstable, Weak SCP-5139-5 Angry, Argumentative, Insulting Addendum 3: SCP-5139-1 Transcript During testing with SCP-5139-1, it was discovered that subjects were more willing to disclose information about SCP-5139-1 with their interviewer if a strong interpersonal relationship existed between the two. It was hypothesised that subjects would be most likely to disclose the contents of SCP-5139-1 if they had close familial ties with their interviewer. To test this, Junior Researcher Michael Harlow was exposed to SCP-5139-1 and subsequently interviewed by their sister, Junior Researcher Sasha Harlow. The following transcript was obtained and verified to be accurate through the questioning of other subjects who had been exposed to SCP-5139-1. SCP-5139-1 Transcript Mary, I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. I've done so much hard work to make sure you were all happy and it's never enough, is it? You just take and take and I can't give you anything else. I didn't want to leave you. I try to hold myself together but how can I when you just stand there shouting at me? I'm a shit mother, I shout too much, I hit too hard. I stopped, didn't I? It's been ages since I last did that. I try so hard to not do it, but sometimes you just make me so angry. But it doesn't matter how hard I try, you'll all just complain and say I'm a failure. Why did you do this to me? If you think I'm so bad, then goodbye. Stay with your father for all I care. You'd all be nothing without me. Addendum 4: Location of SCP-5139-6 On 2013-07-16, a car registered as belonging to Helenne Richardson was found by Constable Benjamin Harris, having collided with a road sign near Grasmere, Cumbria, England. The car contained a humanoid corpse, later designated SCP-5139-6, which suffered from similar semantic dissociation to SCP-5139-2 through -5. The Foundation informed the British Occult Service of possible links to SCP-5139 and the corpse was transferred to Foundation custody for analysis. SCP-5139-6 Analysis SCP-5139-6 A GOOD MOTHER Special Containment Procedures for SCP-5139 will be updated to account for the existence of SCP-5139-6. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5139" by LightlessLantern, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5140 | keter | A ROUNDERHOUSE Joint Coming Soon - Rounderhouse ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item#: 5140 Level4 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: critical link to memo Mt. Everest. Special Containment Procedures: Due to the exorbitant cost and difficulty in safely extracting SCP-5140 instances from Mt. Everest, MTF-Delta-14 "Winter Wonderland" will periodically ascend Everest to bury any SCP-5140 instances in the snow. Campaigns are underway to tighten restrictions for climbing permits for Mt. Everest on both the Nepalese and Tibetan sides. Description: SCP-5140 refers to a number of frozen corpses scattered across Mt. Everest, located in the Himalayas of Tibet. The number of SCP-5140 instances is unclear, but accepted to be over 100 and below 200 at the time of writing. SCP-5140 instances are ectoentropic; when physically exposed to heat of any form, including body heat, they will absorb it without raising their temperature, which rests at approximately 10°C (50°F). This process usually renders physical contact with SCP-5140 instances fatal. If an individual dies as a result of contact with SCP-5140 instances, their corpse will become another SCP-5140 instance.

They sighted no unburied SCP-5140 instances on their approach. Smith's body was discovered, lacking the signs typical of a SCP-5140 instance. Autopsy indicates he died from exposure and suffocation due to inadequate oxygen intake. Further investigation indicated his oxygen intake valve was damaged during the ascent to the summit. Bodies of Arnold Hillary and Patrick Edmund were discovered higher up Everest. Hillary died from exposure, while Edmund was found to be an SCP-5140 instance. It is currently believed that Smith's inadequate oxygen led to him hallucinating SCP-5140 instances blocking their path and destroying their campsite. Hillary's foot was found wedged into a rockfall, likely the source of his immobility. This incident has been taken into account and supply manifests for future expeditions adjusting accordingly. Addendum 5140.2 FILE UPDATE — 4.25.2024 ▼ Click to confirm credentials ▼ ▲ Hide Addendum ▲ EVENT REPORT Scanner image of Mt. Everest. Brighter zones indicate increased SCP-5140 density. LOCATION: Mt. Everest, Nepal STATUS: Concluded TIME: 01:49 PM (local time) April 25 2024 DISRUPTION CLASS: Keneq EVENT SUMMARY: Increased global temperatures have resulted in significant thawing of ice sheets and snow drifts on Everest. Such thawing caused a large avalanche at 11:49 local time which moved a large amount of snow off the summit. Lower depth of snow allowed scanning planes to identify significant amount of SCP-5140 instances below the snow. Further excavation revealed SCP-5140 instances form a significant portion of Everest itself. Currently, it is estimated 45% of Mt. Everest's mass is formed by corpses.

Item#: 5141 Level3 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: notice link to memo SCP-5141, circa 1937. Special Containment Procedures: As a consequence of mounting costs and budgetary constraints, containment of SCP-5141 is now focused on mitigation and cooperation. MTF Gamma-1 ("Sutton's Moonshiners") are to work with local law enforcement agencies to suspend all traffic along SCP-5141's route during its annual transit. Foundation vehicles are to accompany SCP-5141, clearing the road ahead. Vehicles are to maintain a distance of 5 meters from SCP-5141 at all times. Personnel are to be reminded that no attempt to slow down, stop, or otherwise interfere with SCP-5141 is to be made. Description: SCP-5141 is a black customized 1924 Studebaker Special Six. At approximately 12:30 pm (UTC) on March 16th of every year, SCP-5141 emerges at some point within Maggie Valley, North Carolina. It then travels along the shortest available route to Cocke County, Tennessee; upon reaching the county, it gains significant speed and vanishes down one of several local roads. Outside of demonstrating considerable driving expertise and knowledge of local geography, no other anomalous properties have been observed. Discovery: On February 26th, 1951, the UIU1 turned over several case-files to Foundation operatives as part of the MJ-12 Act2. This included reports of a 'driverless ghost-car' active in the Appalachian region. During this transition, William Summers (a veteran Foundation operative) conducted an interview with Daniel Martindale (a UIU field agent and former agent of the Bureau of Prohibition) regarding the nature of SCP-5141. AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Date: 26 February, 1951 Summers: So, let me know if I've got this straight. Martindale: Fire away. Summers: This thing… it's one of those old-timey cars, right? Like a Ford Model T, or — Martindale: She ain't no tin lizzie, son. It's a Studebaker. Summers: Right. So, I'm guessing it tops out at, what… forty miles an hour? Martindale: About fifty. [Silence.] Summers: My wife's beetle can hit a clean 80. Martindale: Well, good for her. Germans made a damn fine car. Summers: Christ. You've been on this thing's ass for eight years, and you've never once caught up to it?! Martindale: Son, you ever try to out-run a one-legged man in his own backyard? Summers: I — Excuse me? Martindale: She's been running moonshine down these back-roads for over three decades. Before we chased her, it was the prohees3. I'm gonna tell you the same thing they told us: Leave it be. You ain't catching her, and she ain't doing no harm. Not unless you're dumb enough to get in her way. Summers: We're the Foundation. I think we'll manage. REQUISITION REQUEST DATE: 3 March, 1952 REQUESTER: Field Agent William Summers PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141. On March 16th of last year, we observed SCP-5141 driving along I-40 West. After a ten minute pursuit, Agent Blackwell attempted to disable its tires with his service pistol. The vehicle immediately swerved into us and ran our vehicle off the road. I'd like to take another crack at it. For this, I'll need two sedans and an agent with significant driving experience. ESTIMATED COST: $4k STATUS: APPROVED RESULT: Both sedans forced off the road. Personnel sustained minor injuries. REQUISITION REQUEST DATE: 2 March 1953 REQUESTER: Field Agent William Summers PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141. After discussing SCP-5141 with retired Prohibition agents who have pursued it in the past, we realized it always follows the same route. We just need to barricade the road. I'll need four men with shotguns, three sedans, two concrete barriers, and a strip of road spikes. ESTIMATED COST: $8k STATUS: APPROVED RESULT: SCP-5141 shifted gears, performed a power-slide4, then drove away. Agents later determined it used an alternate route. Agent Summers was reprimanded for discussing SCP-5141 with non-Foundation personnel. REQUISITION REQUEST DATE: 22 February 1954 REQUESTER: Field Agent William Summers PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141. Maggie Valley isn't very large. It only has a few roads leading in and out of it. Let's just barricade them all. I'll need twenty sedans, twenty men with shotguns, twelve concrete barriers, and six strips of road spikes. ESTIMATED COST: $35k STATUS: APPROVED RESULT: SCP-5141 did not appear at the barricades. On further investigation, tire tracks were found matching its make and model along a previously unknown back-road leading out of Maggie Valley and onto I-40 West. Agent Summers has received two weeks mandatory vacation. REQUISITION REQUEST DATE: 10 February 1955 REQUESTER: Field Agent William Summers PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141. Six customized trucks and five of the best drivers we've got. ESTIMATED COST: $20k STATUS: APPROVED RESULT: All six trucks forced off the road. Foundation personnel sustained minor injuries. Agent Summers has received a year-long mandatory sabbatical. REQUISITION REQUEST DATE: 8 January 1956 REQUESTER: Field Agent Richard Carter PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141. After reviewing the documentation and conferring with my colleagues, I'm confident that I can contain SCP-5141. I worked in law enforcement for twenty-five years before I joined the Foundation. I've been personally involved in over sixty high-speed chases. In my opinion, the best approach is a comprehensive one: Clear the area. Barricade every road out of Maggie Valley (including the back-roads). Have trucks and cruisers standing by to force it off the road — and men stationed at checkpoints ready to shoot out its tires and engine. Here's what I'll need: Twenty concrete barriers. Twelve strips of road spikes. Twenty modified police cruisers. Ten modified police trucks. Thirty veteran drivers. Thirty men who know how to use a rifle. Evacuate the surrounding area for one day. It sounds excessive, but trust me: This is a one-and-done deal. Give me what I'm asking for and I'll have it contained by lunch. ESTIMATED COST: $320k STATUS: APPROVED RESULT: In the resulting chaos, seven trucks and twelve cruisers were totaled; one cruiser remains missing. Seven personnel sustained severe injuries, twenty six sustained serious injuries, and fifteen sustained minor injuries. Local property damage is estimated to be over a hundred thousand dollars. Field Agent Richard Carter has formally submitted his resignation. REQUISITION REQUEST DATE: 1 January 1957 REQUESTER: Field Agent William Summers PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141. Three M103 tanks. ESTIMATED COST: $550k STATUS: REJECTED NOTE: In light of repeated failures, new containment procedures focused on mitigating and cooperating with SCP-5141 are now in development. Addendum: On February 3rd, 1958, Field Agent William Summers was involved in a fatal car crash while practicing on a training track in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Five weeks later, SCP-5141 failed to appear along its typical route. On March 17th, Mr. Summers' widow reported that, while visiting her husband's grave, she discovered several tire-tracks and an empty jug laid besides his tombstone. An exhumation found that Mr. Summers' stomach now contained several liters of 120 proof Appalachian moonshine. Footnotes 1. Unusual Incidents Unit. 2.

SCP-5142 | safe | Item#: 5142 Level2 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo SCP-5142 being performed live Special Containment Procedures: Foundation media crawlers have been disseminated to search for possible occurrences of SCP-5142. If found, the nearest available personnel will be alerted and necessary information and materials for containing the incident will be provided if necessary. Teams dispatched in this way generally only require one person unless a significant amount of time has passed. When an incident is confirmed, personnel are instructed to seek out those affected and activate the countermeme. Light amnestic use is authorized and advised in containing SCP-5142. If, for some reason, this approach fails, use of force in containing those affected is authorized, and in the most severe cases (usually 15 to 20 days after original occurrence), lethal force may be authorized. The materials necessary in containing an occurrence of SCP-5142 are: 1. A device capable of producing sound (eg, a speaker or headset), and 2. Any copy of the song Fruit Salad by The Wiggles, or a copy of the lyrics to said song. Usually, a personal cell phone with internet capabilities will suffice. In some situations, personnel may be required to sing the song aloud. Description: SCP-5142 refers to the memetic hazard inherent to the song Fruit Salad by The Wiggles and its related countermeme. Specifically, the hazard exists within the chorus of the song and is repeated 14 times as the phrase "fruit salad." The effects will generally begin to manifest in those who hear the phrase within several minutes. The development of these effects takes place over a period of 30 to 35 days in total. It begins as a "slight craving" for fruit salad, regardless of whether the subject had ever eaten or enjoyed fruit salad beforehand. The preferred ingredients are those specifically mentioned within the song: grapes, bananas, melon (type varies), and apples. Following initial occurrence to approximately 2 hours later, this effect will spread to any noun the subject hears or believes they have heard; that is, any noun heard within this period is added to the "list" of things which the subject feels a craving to eat. This includes objects and materials which are otherwise unpleasant, harmful, or impossible to consume, such as "skin," "house," or "the universe." It may also include proper nouns, but does not include pronouns. Following this initial period, nouns are no longer added to this "list." Instead, from 2 hours to approximately 7 days, the subject will seek out and attempt to consume the objects, but will not do so if it poses a risk to their health or is otherwise seen as inappropriate. For example, an affected person who had heard the word "house" within the initial two hours would not attempt to eat a house during this period. Following a week from initial occurrence, subjects will attempt to eat things which pose significant risks to themselves or others around them. At 10 to 15 days from initial occurrence, the subject will refuse to eat anything other than the objects on their "list," and fruit salad seems to be removed from the "list" unless no other nouns have been added. The subject will become desperate, often violent or self-harming in an attempt to acquire what they wish to consume. If they succeed in acquiring the objects, they will invariably also succeed in consuming the object, often through anomalous means. If the subject is still alive following 15 to 20 days, they will begin to exponentially accumulate muscle mass and an anomalous amount of strength. The subject's skin will often change to a blue-grey hue. At this stage, the subject becomes extremely violent and will attempt to destroy anything that prevents it from consuming the objects on their "list." Muscle mass will continue to accumulate until 30 to 35 days after the initial occurrence, at which point growth ceases, marking the end of the effects of SCP-5142. Past this point, the countermeme becomes ineffective and there is no known way of reverting a subject to their original state or to previous stages. The countermeme to SCP-5142 is also inherent to Fruit Salad and exists as the phrase "yummy, yummy." Similarly, it is repeated 14 times throughout the song due to the "call-and-response" nature of the piece. In all stages except the last of SCP-5142 occurrence, this countermeme will effectively neutralize SCP-5142's anomalous effects, ceasing all cravings and attempts to consume objects which are otherwise not consumable. Accumulated muscle mass is not removed, but anomalous growth ceases. SCP-5142 is effectively self-containing, as the only cases in which the meme will not be immediately neutralized are those in which the subject does not listen to a specific portion of the chorus of the song. Of note is that both the meme and countermeme must be heard in the form of the song by The Wiggles in order for either to take effect. This is the only such restriction, as any methods of producing SCP-5142 this way will produce the effects, and in fact the song does not even need to be sung by The Wiggles themselves. History: SCP-5142 was first discovered by Researcher Stacy Isolde during her maternity leave in 2014, and was given classification after being confirmed shortly thereafter. Below is a transcription of an interview regarding this initial incident. + Addendum 5142-A - Initial Interview - Close Addendum Interview 5142-A Participants: Dr Stacy Isolde, Dr Robert Hughes (Site 73 Psychological Specialist) Date: June 19th, 2014 <Begin Log> Hughes: Hello Stacy, nice to see you again. How're John and Albert? Isolde: Oh, they're doing fine now, thanks for asking. Should we just get the interview started? Hughes: Right, I'm sure this is a difficult topic for you, considering… [Dr Hughes clears his throat and adjusts himself in his seat.] Hughes: Well, I'll guess I'll just start with the main question. How did you discover SCP-5142? Isolde: It was a little after Al was born, I think a month? But either way, I had just put him to bed for the night. And sometimes before bed I like to put old Wiggles DVDs on for him. He likes the colors and dancing. [She gives a small laugh.] Anyways, right as I came back, that damn fruit salad song that would always get stuck in your head was on, so I turned it off, and it happened to be right in the middle of the chorus, and now we know what that means, so, yeah. Hughes: Did you feel the effects immediately? Isolde: Yeah, well, it took a few minutes. Then I started really wanting fruit salad, but I thought that was just, y'know, some psychological thing about just having heard it repeated 10 times. So I made some with what I had in the house - it didn't really scratch the itch, though. While I'm eating, I get a call from John, my husband, who's heading back from work. The first thing he says is, um… 'hey, honey, how's Albert doing?' I think. Something with 'honey' and 'Albert' in it. [Isolde coughs into her hand and takes a breath before continuing.] Isolde: I get this craving right then for honey, so I ask him to pick some up on the way home. He says he's in traffic, so he hangs up. That's when I first felt something off. I found myself going into Albert's room and I… I just stood there, looking, above his crib. I don't know what I was thinking then, I-I must have repressed it. [Isolde becomes visibly upset. Her voice begins to waver.] Isolde: When-when John got home, it must have been a few hours later, he comes back with the honey. But I'm still in Al's room, staring at him. He finds me and asks what I'm doing, and hands me the honey. Immediately, I opened the bottle and started eating it. As much as I could. I must have emptied the bottle right there, and John just looks at me in disbelief. I never stopped staring at Al, and - God, I remember one thing I thought right then. [Isolde clasps her face into her hands and rests her elbows on her knees. There's a short period of silence before Isolde sniffles and begins speaking again.] Isolde: I thought… I thought, 'Wouldn't Al taste good with honey?' <End Log> After this discovery, current containment procedures were enacted. One other instance of SCP-5142 occurring was immediately discovered: an unaired episode of the television series Freaky Eaters in which the subject of the episode became extremely violent after they were unable to find any remaining fruit salad within their household. Subject was fortunately apprehended shortly after and, by coincidence, managed to hear the countermeme playing from within the county jail they'd been relocated to. In addition, a copy of the album Yummy Yummy by The Wiggles that had been received by Foundation personnel mailboxes in May 2008 was found to include an altered version of Fruit Salad which contained no instances of the countermeme. This copy had included a sticky note on the inside cover that read, "do ya like jazz?" which possibly implicates an anartist group in the creation of the meme. Before discovery of SCP-5142, the CD had been left in low-level containment and has since been destroyed. + Addendum 5142-B - Testing Log - Close Addendum A single testing log has been included in order to fully represent the effects of SCP-5142. Testing Log 5142-1 Date: 10-13-2016 Procedure: A single D-class personnel was presented with SCP-5142 without the countermeme and monitored over a period of 40 days in isolated confinement. <Begin Log> Day 1: Subject functions normally for majority of the day. Occasionally requests fruit salad with increasing frequency. Day 9: Subject repeatedly requests fruit salad. Barely consumes any of his standard allotted rations throughout the day. Day 13: Subject refuses to eat normally allotted rations. Security personnel must enter the room and forcefully feed him. Subject screams several times throughout the day for fruit salad. Day 17: Subject begins slamming his head against the door to the point of drawing blood. Repeatedly exclaims for fruit salad, especially when being fed. Day 20: Muscle mass accumulation begins. Subject ceases to say anything other than "fruit salad." Subject no longer sleeps at night, instead stares directly into surveillance camera for 8 hours every night. Day 24: Subject manages to escape by resisting security personnel during feeding. Countermeme distributed via Site-wide loudspeaker system. Subject shortly apprehended; muscle mass accumulation ceases. <End Log> |
SCP-5143 | esoteric-class | THIS FILE IS UNDER INTERNAL REVIEW BY THE FOUNDATION ETHICS COMMITTEE. During this period, the modification and removal of this page, as well as any attached documentation and archives of related communication records, is expressly forbidden. Thank you for your cooperation. Item #: SCP-5143 Special Containment Procedures: Due to potential strain on Foundation budget, as well as the fact that SCP-5143 maintains a mean worker mortality rate below the average for offshore oil operations,1 active containment has been deemed unnecessary. At least two Foundation operatives possessing offshore oil and gas industry experience are to remain in the legal employ of Seaway Communications Petroleum LLC as engineers servicing SCP-5143 at all times. Assigned agents are to submit bimonthly performance reports to the Department of Finances. Description: SCP-5143 is the fourth-generation semi-submersible offshore oil platform Lusca IV, located within the southernmost part of the Blake-Bahama Basin.2 According to documentation provided by its original constructor, Subsea 6 S.A., SCP-5143 has a maximal water depth of approximately 1500 meters, a maximal drilling depth of 7600 meters, and possesses living quarters capable of housing up to 146 personnel simultaneously. Although it was never fitted with dynamic positioning systems, SCP-5143 has maintained its location without assistance for the full duration of its operational tenure. In addition, despite a lack of modernized equipment, the object has had no documented reports of machinery-related accidents since it was built in 1998. SCP-5143 is partially organic, with its lower levels containing significant amounts of living tissue resembling abscesses or cysts protruding from its internal structure. These have been documented to affect various inorganic materials, including plastic and metal as well as junction boxes and cabling. The prevalence of matter converted to organic material increases within infrequently accessed maintenance corridors. SCP-5143 also displays extensive flooding, albeit present exclusively within its structural columns and ballast pontoons. This has not been found to affect buoyancy or possess any impact on expected non-anomalous function and operation of the object. Liquid samples collected within these flooded areas possess a pH of approximately 2.5 and are comprised primarily of HCl and various digestive enzymes commonly encountered in gastric acid. Despite the object's relatively low environmental pollution rate when compared to similar non-anomalous structures, the waters within a radius of approximately two to three nautical miles around SCP-5143 display unusually low populations of local marine wildlife.

I'm going to be honest with you here, Simon- I appreciate your dedication to protocol, but it seems I need to reiterate: money doesn't grow on trees. Turns out oil doesn't grow on trees either, and as far as I'm aware we've yet to find a way to power site generators without it, to use one example of many. And to precede your complaints about using oil at all- this thing seems to have a near-perfect fuel conversion rate, and I'd love to hear your ideas for something more environmentally friendly than that. Anyway, next time you get the idea of recommending we shut down vital Foundation infrastructure, I'd recommend taking a moment to look at last quarter's spending and consider where your grant funding is coming from. To address your other concerns- I don't care what Agent Simmons said on tape, if the thing had a compulsory effect he wouldn't have come back at all. Nobody's forcing the workers to go and get lost down there, so I'd appreciate it if you kept that little theory to yourself. That said, if ethics is what you're concerned about, feel free to have Foundation employees man the whole crew instead. I'll even sign off on it if you want. Have the finalized containment procedures on my desk by Monday. Best, Wells Site-35 Director Robert Wells Footnotes 1. Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, 2006. 2.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5144 is to be kept in a medium plastic container at Bio Site-95, locked in a steel safe in the office of Dr. Zaretsky when not in use. SCP-5144's containment is to be filled with a thin layer of substrate, moistened with 200ml of water when required. 50g of decaying plant matter is to be added to the container on a monthly basis. The windows in Dr. Zaretsky's office are to remain closed at all times. Description: SCP-5144 is an anomalous fungus resembling Stropharia aeruginosa, with a stem height of approximately 7cm and a cap width of approximately 8cm. In its unaltered state, SCP-5144 appears to have adnate, pale grey gills and a convex, blue-green cap. When it is not absorbing nutrients, SCP-5144 is capable of retracting its hyphae, allowing it to move around. SCP-5144's anomalous properties occur when any living organism touches SCP-5144, including plants and animals. SCP-5144 will then begin to shift its appearance in order to exhibit various physical characteristics and movements that are believed to be a representation of the subject's psyche. These effects seem to be limited simply to the visible parts of the subjects personality, such as phobias and current emotional state, suggesting SCP-5144 does not possess any sort of telepathic abilities. Update, 22/06/2020: Further observation of SCP-5144's anomalous properties has concluded that repeated interaction with SCP-5144 allows the object to display deeper insights into the subjects subconscious. The means that SCP-5144 uses to obtain this insight is currently unknown.1 Addendum 5144-A, Discovery: SCP-5144 became known to the Foundation on 17/09/2020, after a recording of a mushroom changing colour when touched by a group of British adolescents was uploaded to a popular video-streaming site. The video has since been removed from the site2 and Class B amnestics have been administered to the group involved in its creation. Addendum 5144-B, Experiment Log: + show block – hide block Date: 22/11/2019 Test 5144-001: SCP-5144 was exposed to a plant, which was then burned with a lighter. Results: SCP-5144 turned black and released smoke-like spores, indicating SCP-5144's properties extend to plant life as well as fauna. Date: 20/12/2019 Test 5144-002: SCP-5144 was exposed to a solid steel block, which was then hit with a hammer to test if its anomalous properties also work on inanimate objects. Results: No response. Note: This is a waste of Foundation resources. You aren't going to get an emotional response from a block of metal. Do not let this happen again. - Site-95 Director Date: 13/01/2020 Test 5144-003: After several weeks under the care of Dr. Zaretsky, SCP-5144 was exposed to an image of an Orb-weaver spider. Dr. Zaretsky has told me that she suffers with arachnophobia, and as such, this test is to see if SCP-5144 has picked up on this. Results: SCP-5144 began to exhibit movement, rolling away from the image. It seems SCP-5144 acquired Dr. Zaretsky’s arachnophobia.3 Note: The only people I told about this prior to testing was Dr. Danielle Baker and my husband. I only tell those I truly care about that I have a phobia SCP-5144 had no way of knowing of my phobia prior to this. - Dr. Zaretsky Date: 10/02/2020 Test 5144-004: SCP-5144 was exposed to a lab rat that has been conditioned to be fearful of fungi, a mirror was placed in the experiment area in order to test how SCP-5144 reacted to its reflection. Results: SCP-5144 rolled away from its own reflection, moving whenever the mirror was placed in front of it again. SCP-5144 was shaking following this experiment. Date: 22/03/2020 Test 5144-005: SCP-5144 was placed in a containment cell with SCP-1077 to test interaction between other anomalous fungi.4 Results: SCP-5144 and SCP-1077 both began emitting an exponential amount of spores. D-2304 was sent in to retrieve SCP-5144 and was immediately quarantined to observe the effects of the spores. When the effect of SCP-1077 became apparent in D-2304, two voices tried to speak at the same time. One voice sounded particularly scratchy and static, which is believed to be a poor attempt on SCP-5144's part to replicate SCP-1077. This put immense strain on D-2304's vocal chords, leaving some permanent damage. NOTICE [29/12/2019]: After personnel assigned to SCP-5144 reported observing several anomalous effects of SCP-5144 during general daily care5 , it has been suggested that an observation log should be kept to document these instances alongside formal experiments.6 Addendum 5144-C, Dr. Zaretsky's Audio Observation Log + show block – hide block 27/12/2019: “[how do I even work this thing… have we not changed voice recorders since the 80's or something?] Ahem.. Foreword. This is Dr. Mabel Zaretsky, Mycologist and Lead Researcher of SCP-5144. This log will be used as a means of immediately documenting anomalous properties of SCP-5144 as they occur in real time. I confirm this log will be used solely by myself for research purposes only. If this tape has been discovered, please contact either myself, or the Site-95 Director immediately. [Great, how do I turn it off now?]” 28/12/2019: "SCP-5144 periodically changes its colour… it is suspected that this may be related to emotional shifts. I have requested that Junior Researcher Dr. Danielle Baker cause a forced emotional shift in myself when it is not expected so we can observe the effects." 04/01/2020: ([muffled giggling] Shhh! Stop laughing Dani, this is important!) Junior Researcher Dr. Danielle Baker provoked a startle reaction from me by hiding under the desk and grabbing my leg as I was about to sit.7 SCP-5144 almost immediately flinched upon the event, changing colour to a deep red. This confirms suspicions that the colour changes are affected by mood." 13/01/2020: "Testing was done to see if SCP-5144 itself possesses emotions, or if it simply adapts to the ones of those around it. A pin was pressed into SCP-5144's base repeatedly. No visible reaction. SCP-5144 was then exposed to a noise designed to cause a stress response in people. I wore ear defenders to avoid contaminating results. And again.. no reaction. The pin pricks healed within 2 minutes of creation." 28/01/2020: "SCP-5144 has demonstrated its shapeshifting capabilities, when looking at pictures of other fungi, it was able to replicate them with extreme accuracy. When looking at an artist's conk, it was able to replicate the marking capabilities of the fungus. This effect only works with other mushrooms, however, as when shown any other object, it reverts to its original state." 08/02/2020: "SCP-5144 appears to be showing demonstrations of thoughts I have not made obvious or said out loud. I was recently feeling slightly hungry, and SCP-5144 began emitting a scent similar to that of fried food. Further testing is needed." 16/02/2020: "SCP-5144 has ceased appearing in pictures. This effect seems to affect all forms of digital camera. It is unclear exactly when this effect started due to the fact SCP-5144 is not routinely photographed. This may relate to my personal dislike of being photographed. Requests to access office security feed to find this exact moment have been requested."8 29/02/2020: "SCP-5144 had a strong reaction to Dr. Danielle Baker. Upon entering the office, SCP-5144 turned a hot pink colour, inching towards Baker whilst emitting a pleasant aroma, similar to that of roses. Upon checking, SCP-5144 was warm to the touch. Reasons Unknown. I may speak to Dr. Baker and ask if she has had prior interactions with 5144 which may elicit this reaction." 12/03/2020: "SCP-5144 was on the desk as I was taking notes. Another member of research personnel walked in and immediately, SCP-5144 fell over to cover the notes. Reasons are unknown."9 20/03/2020: "I was speaking to my husband via my phone today, general conversation, nothing abnormal. SCP-5144 fell over on the end call button. It is not apparent whether this was accidental or not." 01/04/2020: "At precisely 12:08pm Today, (my time of birth), SCP-5144 turned grey and wrinkled. Reasons are unclear." Update 02/04/2020: "After this event, I considered my own emotions and have realised I may be fearful of aging. This possibly confirms suspicions that SCP-5144 is able to interpret subconscious thoughts." 02/05/2020: "SC… SCP… fuck it. [Pause] Danielle… N-no I'm not cry- upset… I need to go…" [The recording ends here] Addendum 5144-D [02/05/2020]: CLICK HERE TO PROCEED – hide block Interviewed: [Dr. Mabel Zaretsky, Mycologist, Lead Researcher of SCP-5144.] Interviewer: [Dr. Beverly Smith, Senior Psychiatrist at Site-95.] Foreword: [Dr. Zaretsky requested aid from the psychiatric team. Due to the fact she has stated that it is in relation to SCP-5144, this session has been recorded as per Foundation protocol D962.4] <Begin Log> Dr. Smith : Hello… Mabel, is it? How are things? [Zaretsky is visibly distressed.] Dr Zaretsky: Well… I'm getting divorced. Dr. Smith: I'm sorry to hear that. Is there a particular reason? I believe you said SCP-5144 is somehow involved in this. [Zaretsky pauses] Dr Zaretsky: Yes… Dr. Smith : Why do you believe SCP-5144 is responsible for the breakdown of your relationship? [Zaretsky remains silent] Dr. Smith: Mabel? Dr Zaretsky: B-because… it made me realize I don't love him anymore. [Dr. Zaretsky begins to cry.] [Smith offers Zaretsky a box of tissues.] Dr. Smith: Take your time… can you elabor- [Zaretsky cuts off Smith] Dr Zaretsky: How the hell did it know before I did?! Dr. Smith: Alright, Let's pause for a moment and take a deep breath… [pause] Now, start from the beginning, what happened to cause this incident? Dr Zaretsky: It… It sounds stupid, but… It was a few days ago now. He… I was on the phone with my husband, and… The mushroom- SCP-5144 I mean. It was on my desk and it looked like it was… Crying? Dr. Smith: What do you mean when you say the mushroom was crying? Dr Zaretsky: Well… have you ever seen a milkcap? It was acting like one of those, crying white latex. It was hunched over like a crying person when it did it. Dr. Smith: Is that what caused you to figure out your feelings? Dr Zaretsky: No, I just thought it was a bit weird. It's been mimicking me for weeks now, but I didn’t feel sad talking to my husband, so I didn’t understand why the mushroom was acting like that. Dr. Smith: I understand. And what happened next? Dr Zaretsky: Like… 30 minutes later I was on my computer, I was on some random website trying to learn more in depth stuff about the specific type of fungus 5144 likes to mimic… I left my computer literally for 10 seconds to get some more paper from my drawer. [Zaretsky pauses] Dr. Smith: I'm listening. Dr Zaretsky: when I looked back up, 5144 had fallen on my mouse, making it hover over some ad on the page for a random divorce lawyer. Dr. Smith: Okay, and, Mabel, is there any possibility this was accidental? Maybe SCP-5144 just happened to fall over? Dr Zaretsky: Trust me, I thought that too… so I clicked the ad. Dr. Smith: and what was the reaction? Dr Zaretsky: oh it was overjoyed, the damn thing. It went bright green, started glowing, and then it decided to release all these spores that kind of looked like little pieces of confetti. Who the fuck gets that happy over divorce?? Dr. Smith: I see. And, is that when you had that moment of realization? Dr Zaretsky: pretty soon after that yeah…but after it got pointed out to me like that… it was so obvious that I felt that way.. is that ridiculous? Dr. Smith: Not at all, Mabel. It sounds like you had subconscious thoughts about ending your relationship and SCP-5144 simply revealed them. I'm sure this experience will be very helpful to your research in the long run. [Pause] I believe it'd be beneficial if we discussed your relationship now. I'd rather not record that for confidentiality reasons… so, are we finished talking about SCP-5144? Dr Zaretsky: Yeah, all done… "A mushroom destroyed my marriage"…it kinda sounds like a headline you'd get in a tabloid, doesn’t it? <End Log> Closing Statement: Following this interview, Dr. Zaretsky has started a course of cognitive behavioural therapy to come to terms with her divorce. She has stated that although the experience distresses her, it has provided a much more in depth insight into SCP-5144's capabilities. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5145 | euclid | Ah! Hello there! My name is salvador.aic, and I will be helping you along with your orientation. Allow me to just quickly check your personnel file… Following conviction on the grounds of manslaughter and conspiracy with a hostile group of interest, you have opted to transfer over to Surrealistics rather than undergo termination. Excellent choice! Now, in order to prepare you for your duties as a Surrealistic, it's vital that we realign your rational paradigm. Now I know that sounds nasty, but worry not! It's a very simple procedure. You'll notice the necessary IV has already been inserted and a set of files has been put in front of you. All you need to do is transcribe the anomaly described in these documents as an SCP file. I will adjust the dosage of agnostics being fed to you between each attempt until you reach correct understanding of the anomaly in question. This will indicate your rational paradigm has been correctly realigned. Let's do our best! RATIONAL ALIGNMENT: A=A ORIENTATION TYPE: VOLUNTARY SUPERVISOR: SALVADOR.AIC RATING: 8 COLOUR: GREEN TEETH: YES ADJUSTING DOSAGE… Item #: SCP-5145 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5145 is currently contained within a portable emergency holding cell at Site-22. Personnel suffering from recent personal loss are to remain at least fifty meters away from SCP-5145 at all times. Psychological counselling is to be conducted regularly with personnel assigned to SCP-5145 to ensure they do not become susceptible to its effects. Description: SCP-5145 is an intangible entity resembling an indistinct humanoid figure perpetually floating one meter off the ground. Although SCP-5145's body has not moved from its original position since manifestation, it is capable of exerting physical force over a distance of fifty meters around itself. This takes the form of susceptible individuals being instantly shredded by an indistinct mass of small black objects which disappear several seconds later. Analysis of information provided regarding personnel who have been killed by SCP-5145 suggests that targets are selected based on their level of emotional distress. No individuals with a neutral emotional state have been killed to date, while all who were killed had recently been made aware of a personal loss. Hm … well, for a first attempt this is pretty good, but it's also really quite awful. You've written down what our friend here does, but there's nothing about how or why! Understanding, man, understanding! That's what Surrealistics is all about. But I have faith in you. We chose this anomaly special, after all, with you just in mind. Let's keep at it! RATIONAL ALIGNMENT: A=C ORIENTATION TYPE: VOLUNTARY SUPERVISOR: SALVADOR.AIC RATING: 31 COLOUR: BLUE TEETH: YES ADJUSTING DOSAGE… Item #: SCP-5145 Special Containment Procedures: As temperatures are of course at freezing value, personal heating is required throughout Site-010. SCP-5145 is to be contained at Site-010. SCP-5145 is to be stored in a shielded chamber located at Site-010, and fed twice three times a day. This shielding is to be composed of a strong material. The demands of the Seeing Eye are to be obeyed. Any personnel found obeying the Seeing Eye are to be reassigned to Surrealistics or incinerated. Should SCP-5145 be terminated, personal heating will be required. There will be no funeral. Description: SCP-5145 is an eight-year old girl residing six feet under inside a shielded containment chamber inside Site-010. The emotional state of SCP-5145 is linked directly to the Sun — emotional distress will result in solar dimming, while excitement will result in intense solar flares capable of annihilating up to three-hundred D-Class personnel. Directly pointed at Site-010 is a massive free-floating energy cannon, hereafter referred to as SCP-5145-1, hereafter referred to as the Seeing Eye. Periodically, the Seeing Eye will release a telepathic demand to all surrounding organisms. These demands are variable, and thus vary significantly from case to case. Should these demands not be obeyed immediately, the Seeing Eye will fire and kill SCP-5145. Subsequently, the Sun will go out. I'm going to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about in this version of the article. But don't worry, that's quite common! When you're first exposed to this level of agnostics, your memories often get muddled up with your present perceptions a bit. It's nothing to be afraid of, and it's really very cool. Unfortunately, this doesn't pertain to the anomaly you read about at all, but I'm sure we'll get there eventually. Keep on keeping on! RATIONAL ALIGNMENT: A=E ORIENTATION TYPE: VOLUNTARY SUPERVISOR: SALVADOR.AIC RATING: -6 COLOUR: BEIGE TEETH: YES ADJUSTING DOSAGE… Item #: SCP-5145 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5145 is currently contained within a portable emergency holding cell at Site-22. SCP-5145-1 is currently contained within SCP-5145. SCP-5145-2 is contained within SCP-5145-1. Each day, a member of personnel undergoing extreme emotional distress is to be presented to SCP-5145, SCP-5145-1 and SCP-5145-2. Following shredding, nothing is to be done. Each day, a black envelope will arrive at Site-010. These are not to be opened under any circumstances. Description: SCP-5145 is a humanoid logical gap perpetually floating one meter off the ground. Within said logical gap, an eight year old girl — hereafter referred to as SCP-5145-1 — is visible. Within the empty left eye socket of said girl, a pleasant smiling man — hereafter referred to as SCP-5145-2 — is visible. Every day, SCP-5145-2 will mail a black envelope to Site-010 utilizing the US Postal Service. If the demands enclosed in these envelopes are not followed within twenty-four hours, SCP-5145-2 will attempt to climb out of SCP-5145-1's eye socket. This will result in the death of SCP-5145-1, the destruction of SCP-5145, and an inevitable logical collapse cascade. This will constitute a K-Class end-of-your-world scenario, often resulting in the subsequent destruction of the Sun. However, the instructions contained in these envelopes can should won't can can never be followed. Well, this is promising! As I said earlier, you're still letting some of your personal experiences bleed into the actual anomaly, but that is giving you the context you need — so I'd say keep it up! If you're suffering any bleeding, don't worry, the guard will clean that up. All you need to concentrate on is your current system of thinking. It's just like redirecting the tracks of a railway, when you think about it. A fun experience that's easy to try! RATIONAL ALIGNMENT: A=N ORIENTATION TYPE: VOLUNTARY SUPERVISOR: SALVADOR.AIC RATING: 10003 COLOUR: RED TEETH: YES ADJUSTING DOSAGE… Item #: SCP-5145 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5145 is to be kept away from squares. A circle is to be prepared. Description: SCP-5145 is a round hole in a square world. As the angles of the world are too sharp for such a logical gap, shredding is the inevitable result. By 'world', I am referring to a crying person, except that they are not crying. You cannot force a square-shaped angle into a round-shaped world hole. It's a natural result. In a room somewhere, two people were talking. At this time, the Sun is still shining. <Begin Log> [DATA EXPUNGED]: [DATA EXPUNGED] The Seeing Eye: All in good time. Your daughter has been very brave, by the way. [DATA EXPUNGED]: [DATA EXPUNGED] The Seeing Eye: As I said, all in good time. Do you have what we've requested? (Silence.

RATIONAL ALIGNMENT: A=Y ORIENTATION TYPE: VOLUNTARY SUPERVISOR: SALVADOR.AIC RATING: 9 COLOUR: SARCOLINE TEETH: NO ADJUSTING DOSAGE… Item #: SCP Special Containment Procedures: SCP is to be woken up for school and fed breakfast. SCP is to be picked up from school and fed lunch. SCP is to go to the park. SCP is to watch its favourite cartoon. SCP is to be tucked in at night. SCP is to be informed there are no monsters in the closet. A black envelope is to be made full. Description: A black envelope is composed of paper and glue. It has a hungry mouth and desires intelligence. It has a hungry mouth and desires the intelligence you have access to. It is pointing a gun at the sun. Personnel are to insert their head into the hungry mouth of a black envelope and allow it to occur thusly. The sun's birthday cake has eight candles and each is speared down into the bakery beast. The black envelope is strangling a ninth candle. It has hands with which to do this. The Sun will go out soon. You have to do the dishes. Please don't worry about those! They aren't necessary to read or think. The guard will pick them up for you shortly. I know that must have been quite unpleasant, but at least we now have a good idea of your maximum tolerance. It's unfortunate that attempt lost the majority of its coherence, but I really do think you're almost there. It will all be over soon. As a Surrealistic, you'll realize there's no real reason to cry. RATIONAL ALIGNMENT: B=A ORIENTATION TYPE: VOLUNTARY SUPERVISOR: SALVADOR.AIC RATING: +0/-0 COLOUR: WHITE TEETH: NO ADJUSTING DOSAGE… Item #: SCP-5145 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5145 is to be relocated to Site-⌘ and placed in the room that is to become my office. I am to spend at least nine hours a day in close proximity to SCP-5145. There are to be no windows in my office. There are to be no photographs in my office. There are to be no envelopes in my office. I am never to leave Site-⌘. Description: SCP-5145 is the physical manifestation of a logical gap created through thick and persistent denial of common emotional indicators. The sheer number of colliding non-existent emotional expressions in Site-22 building up over a period of several years resulted in the spontaneous creation of SCP-5145. As SCP-5145 is an absence created through contradictory lacks of emotion, it will perpetually attempt to destroy itself by filling said gap with suitable emotional indicators. However, it is unable to do so as the majority of emotional indicators are the wrong shape to accommodate SCP-5145. As a result of this dissonance, a backlash effect occurs and shreds the offending emotional generator. By realigning rational paradigms, an emotional generator has been prepared with a correctly-shaped emotional profile to seal SCP-5145. This seal is temporary, however, and must be replenished periodically. Fair enough. Inside the logical gap that is SCP-5145, a one-eyed corpse is visible. It looks up at me. It smiles. The Sun goes out. Well done, Doctor. Welcome to the Surrealistics. Footnotes 1. Will come up with definition for this later. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5145" by Tanhony, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-5145.

SCP-5146 | safe | Item #: SCP-5146 Special Containment Procedures: The continued presence of SCP-5146 within its area of the Pacific Islands Territory is to be verified bimonthly via standard checks of the Foundation's routinely updated mapping satellite footage. No further containment procedures are required. Description: SCP-5146 is a 1:1 scale map of an unnamed stony island located east of the Federated States of Micronesia, possessing an area of approximately 0.53 km2. Apart from its nature as a map, the object displays no other anomalous properties and is geologically similar to the islands present in the area. SCP-5146 was brought to the Foundation's attention during a routine database comparison of satellite footage collected during the months of December 2007 and February 2008, when the object was recorded within waters that had been previously designated as unoccupied. Due to the presence of mature vegetation visible on its surface and the lack of seismic or volcanic activity in the area during that time period, the object was issued a provisory designation and an exploratory mission manned by regional Oceanic Task Force Beta-46 ("Shearwaters") was dispatched. Despite the presence of several presumably manmade structures distributed across its surface area, the object was found to be uninhabited. Additionally, the present members of OTF Beta-46 encountered no wildlife, barring several specimens of migratory birds typical for the area. As such, a list of discovered items is provided in lieu of a standard exploration log transcript. Body camera footage collected during the mission can be accessed upon request through the Site-35 digital archives. Addendum 5146.1: Inventory of items recovered from SCP-5146: + View contents - Hide contents LOCATION: Wooden pier, southwest shore crab cages (5) plastic bucket shore-operated lift net three-strand nylon mooring rope (12 meters) LOCATION: Single-room vernacular house, central clearing empty gasoline canister foldable cot paperback copy of Jack Kerouac's On the Road, waterlogged single-burner gasoline camping stove single-person cutlery set unaddressed postcard marked with Marshall Islands type 1 meter stamp (see attached) Contents of recovered postcard as follows: I'm sorry I couldn't make it to see you again this year, but you know how the big city makes me. I thought going home would take the edge off all that claustrophobia a little, but it's just not the same when you can't really come back, you know what I mean? Maybe one day. Despite it all. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out something for myself. My own little perfect territory, just the way I remember it. Down to the last detail. I hope you'll come visit me one day.

SCP-5147 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5147 Close-up of SCP-5147-41 "The Volunteer". Special Containment Procedures: All inactive SCP-5147 instances are to be separately contained in showcases of double-pane glass. Inactive instances are permitted clothing but work equipment or utensils on their person are prohibited. All confiscated tools are to be stored in designated storage units. The entrance to the containment chamber with inactive instances is to be guarded by three guards at all times. Personnel with Level 2 Clearance or higher are permitted access to these instances. Active instances of SCP-5147 do not intend to breach containment. Instances may roam the premises of Site-06-3 freely after being equipped with an electronic ankle band with a GPS tracker. A guard may be assigned to an active instance at the discretion of Dr. Roy Hiveldyll. Any task or request given to SCP-5147's instances may not interfere with the Foundation, security risks, and other anomalies who are not classified as Safe. Any violation without explicit permission from senior staff results in being permanently blacklisted from SCP-5147. Containment of injured or broken instances needs to be observed by security cameras. If there has not been a visual recovery for 72 hours, the footage is considered outdated and subsequently deleted. Newly broken or recovered instances must be reported immediately. Injuring instances deliberately will also result in being blacklisted and possible termination. Description: SCP-5147 is the collective designation for 41 sentient hollow faceless mannequins (numbered SCP-5147-01 to -41). Each instance excels at a particular skill set, ranging from one particular skill to multiple, as long as they are closely related. Instances refer to each other with names associated with their respective skill sets (for example "The Cook") and refer to their collective as "The Mannequin Troupe". Instances are capable of receiving spoken and written requests. Upon acceptance, the individual instance will attempt to complete or provide aid in someone's request in a harmless manner. Requests that are morally unjust or are impossible to fulfill cannot be accepted. Requests are likely to be denied if the person seeking aid has harmed any instances in the past. Upon completion of a request, instances will return to their respective showcases and remain frozen in place resembling standard, non-anomalous mannequins. Instances are capable of regenerating after approximately 72 hours regardless of the severity of their injury. Instances do not like requests where they can get hurt easily and will ask for precautionary measures before resuming their original task. Discovery: SCP-5147 was initially recovered on 24/6/2013, from a storage room of an abandoned theater in Krazow, Poland where they were used as stage-props and fitting dolls. Their anomalous properties were discovered during the soft strip of the theater when a demolition crew employee made a comment interpreted as a request. Quote: "Maybe they can lend us a hand with this stuff, we'll be done in no time." Krazow's theater before going bankrupt and being abandoned. Following this, several instances became active and began to assist in the soft strip of the building. One employee attempted to contact authorities twice. This lead to Foundation agents being dispatched. Class-B amnestics were administered to all involved witnesses following the removal of SCP-5147. The theater was subsequently demolished to make place for a new residential area. Instances did not resist during initial recovery. SCP-5147 was temporarily relocated to the nearest site before permanently being moved to Humanoid Containment Site-06-3 in France. Interview after discovery Audio Interview Log 27/06/2013 Audio Interview Log 27/06/2013 Interviewed: SCP-5147-32 "The Vocalist" Interviewer: Dr. Roy Hiveldyll Foreword: The interview took place 3 days after the initial discovery. SCP-5147 had yet to be transferred to the Humanoid Containment Site-06-3. <Begin Log> Dr. Hiveldyll: Good afternoon SCP-5147-32. I'm Doctor Hiveldyll. You can simply call me Doctor. Scrapes chair. Now, we've brought you here because we have some questions for you. Given that you can speak, we believe that you have the most experience in communication and wish for your cooperation. Do you understand me? SCP-5147-32: Yes Doctor, I do. But if you need me to write something down then I think "The Scribe" would be more helpful to you. Dr. Hiveldyll opens his clipboard and begins to write. Dr. Hiveldyll: Good. Well… Clears throat. We've found a better location to house you. If you give us some information we can speed up your transfer. I assume you already got tired of the… stale room? SCP-5147-32: Oh yeah. But the rest is coming with me, right? Dr. Hiveldyll: After the evaluations are done, we would like to transfer your group together. SCP-5147-32: Sounds good to me. So Doctor, what is your first question? Dr. Hiveldyll: Well- Clicks pen. does your group have a purpose— or rather, do you have any goals? SCP-5147-32: A goal? No, I don't think so. We just like to be helpful. I don't even remember having a long-term goal. Dr. Hiveldyll: Helpful, you say… Hmm. What did you previously help with, then? SCP-5147-32: We were stage-props in a theater. You know, like background figures and stuff like that. Sometimes as clothing dolls like normal mannequins. We were lucky enough to be displayed sometimes for some exhibitions. Dr. Hiveldyll: I'm sorry, but we are not planning on displaying you any time soon. SCP-5147-32: Then please let us take some small tasks, some requests. We'd like to feel purposeful again. I don't want to spend the rest of my days inactive without consciousness or locked within walls. Dr. Hiveldyll: Let's assume we are open for your help, what could you do for us then? SCP-5147-32: We can do anything associated with our skills and experience of course. We are only having this conversation because of that, I'm the only one that can speak, remember? Dr. Hiveldyll: Yes, your ability to speak makes you a unique mannequin but it is not an ability unique to you. How did you get these "skills" in the first place? SCP-5147-32: When the theater lost its last funds and filed for bankruptcy, everyone took the valuable things and left. But we weren't valuable. Mannequins are difficult to rehouse too, so they left us there in the dark, to collect dust. We were left there all dressed up for so long that we started our own play, it was quite entertaining even without an audience. Dr. Hiveldyll: Scribbling. That… is interesting. Pauses. So for the record, if you had fishing equipment on at the time you would have become something like a fisherman? SCP-5147-32: I guess. We'd probably also refer to that person as "The Fisherman", or something similar. Talk about living up to the name… Dr. Hiveldyll: Interesting… Interesting indeed. Kawinski, please give SCP-5147-32 the contents from the second drawer. The guard (Aleksander Kawinski) gives SCP-5147-32 a pen and paper. Dr. Hiveldyll: Thanks Kawinski. Clears throat. Now, SCP-5147-32, can you please identify each individual from your group. SCP-5147-32: Of course, give me a moment. Dr. Hiveldyll: Slides a paper over the desk. You can use this photo. SCP-5147-32: Thank you. SCP-5147-32 begins to write, Dr. Hiveldyll sips from his coffee. SCP-5147-32: Do you want me to write their abilities down too? Dr. Hiveldyll: I'd just like you to name everyone for the time being. We can ask that later. SCP-5147-32: Okay, give me a moment, please. Fast-forward the tape; SCP-5147-32 hands over the papers to Dr. Hiveldyll. Dr. Hiveldyll: Uh… You identified SCP-5147-17 as "The Killer". Does he have interests in these aspects? SCP-5147-32: Oh, no he doesn't. But I also think you are misunderstanding something here, Doctor. Dr. Hiveldyll: And what would that be? A. Kawinski: Clears throat. Doctor, may I suggest the addition of extra measures to SCP-5147-17's containment before we continue? Dr. Hiveldyll: Yes— Yes of course. I also want extra surveillance. You can guard him by yourself for the time being. A. Kawinski: I'll have my leave then. Take care Doctor. Dr. Hiveldyll: I'll make a new schedule and inform the team. We'll have to see what SCP-5147-17 is capable of later. Kawinski leaves, another guard takes his place. Dr. Hiveldyll: So about this misunderstanding… SCP-5147-32: Yes, just because his name is associated with some horrifying things doesn't mean that we don't have morals. Also, I'd like to point out that we were figures and fitting dolls in the past, not some assassins. Dr. Hiveldyll: That makes sense but you can't be too careful. Even if it makes me a stereotypical son of a bitch. Drinks his coffee. What would you do with The Killer then? Let him roam free? I know from this conversation that you aren't that stupid. SCP-5147-32: I don't know, you can probably make a forensic scientist from him or let him perform autopsies. I guess instead of letting him kill, you can get him to look after the killed. Should be a piece of cake without the stress of leaving fingerprints on fragile material. Dr. Hiveldyll: Maybe a bit far-fetched but the outcome seems interesting enough to invest in. Scribbling can be heard on the recording. SCP-5147-32: Sorry for interrupting your work but do you have more questions for me? To be honest I'd rather go back now if you are busy with whatever it is you're doing. Dr. Hiveldyll: Oh, excuse me. I sometimes get too engaged with my work. I do have one more question though. SCP-5147-32: Well Doctor, let's hear it then. Dr. Hiveldyll: So you have morals like most humans and can give signals of emotional attachment- No, involvement. You clearly have a mental capability. SCP-5147-32: I'm glad you realize that. Dr. Hiveldyll: But what about your physical capability, your condition? Can you feel exhaustion? Do you have a sense of pain? SCP-5147-32: I do, I can feel natural pain. But we're definitely not as fragile as normal mannequins. We don't break that easily. I think the feeling of exhaustion isn't completely present in us, but also not unknown to us. I can't really answer that part of your question. Dr. Hiveldyll: That is something we can figure out later. Do you happen to know what happens when you break? Has your group lost some members? SCP-5147-32: No, we haven't lost anyone. I don't exactly know what happens when we break. I do know that we can recover from wounds just like you can. Dr. Hiveldyll: So you have some regenerative abilities, I think we need to test that later. SCP-5147-32: I'm not looking forward to that, but I don't have much choice do I? Dr. Hiveldyll: I'll try to see if there are anesthetics we could use. I'm trying to test your regeneration, not your pain limit. SCP-5147-32: Thanks, I appreciate that. A speaker in the room creaks. Leading staff: SCP-5147-32, thank you for cooperating. Dr. Hiveldyll, this suffices for now, please finish the interview. Dr. Hiveldyll: Clicks his pen. You've given us some valuable information. I'll see what I can do for the upcoming transfer and the tests in the future. Perhaps I should give you a request too if I ever get the chance. SCP-5147-32: I'll be waiting for you when that happens Doctor. <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-5147's transfer to the Humanoid Containment Site-06-3 was approved by leading staff from both locations. SCP-5147 was able to receive tasks/requests in a testing-period of 2 months. Due to the successful outcomes and rise in morale in staff/SCP-5147, this period was prolonged indefinitely. Dr. Hiveldyll did not find compatible anesthetics due to SCP-5147 not having any organ systems. Dr. Hiveldyll did not start researching the regenerative abilities of SCP-5147. Dr. Hiveldyll became permanently assigned to SCP-5147. Addendum-1: Unusual requests Request Outcome Additional notes 15/7/2013 Cook the staff's dinner. SCP-5147-03 "The Cook" made pumpkin soup and sandwiches for the staff. SCP-5147-03 can taste with its fingertips when needed. SCP-5147-03 makes lunch twice a week for assigned personnel. 30/12/2013 Explain the cause of death. SCP-5147-17 "The Killer" "The Forensic" was able to identify and prove different causes of death from 10 D-class individuals. SCP-5147-17 is henceforth known as "The Forensic". Instances can be re-schooled if necessary. 24/4/2014 Replicate a house. SCP-5147-12 "The Constructor" worked together with 26 D-class individuals. D-6322 threw a brick at its head as assigned by Dr. Chaulozé, breaking SCP-5147-12, who recovered after 3 days. Dr. Chaulozé was afterwards unable to get his requests accepted by any instances. Whilst not blacklisted, he suggested relocation due to his inability to interact with SCP-5147. Research for SCP-5147's ability to regenerate was put on hold. Dr. Chaulozé was relocated to the analysis wing. 05/02/2015 "Dance!" Since it was shouted and not directed to a specific instance or group a flash-mob occurred. SCP-5147 can dance very synchronized. One instance dressed up in reflecting glass like a disco-ball. 08/11/2015 Remain inactive. The requested instances refused to accept the request and went back to their inactive state. Request unsuccessful. Reason: Initially denied. 21/03/2016 Perform an aria. SCP-5147-32 "The Vocalist" performed Di Quella Pira from the opera Il Trovatore. SCP-5147-32 has the vocal range of a tenor. After performing the aria a second time on request, SCP-5147-32 sounded a bit hoarse. 09/12/2016 None/Spontaneous. SCP-5147-05/-29/-35 "The Doctor, The Nurse and The Fireman" helped personnel when a fire broke out. A request to let SCP-5147 interact with anomalies classified as Safe was made. Request Approved 27/6/2018 None/spontaneous Dr. Roy Hiveldyll got a surprise party for being assigned 5 years to SCP-5147. SCP-5147 requested the staff's help. SCP-5147 gave Dr. Hiveldyll the following custom-made gifts: a watch, a wooden chess set, a barrel of craft whiskey and a leather-bound book with their experiences with the Doctor in 41 unique handwritings. As of 27/6/2018, no remarkable outcomes have been noted. All requests between 24/6/2013 (initial discovery) and 22 Dec 2024 23:25 have been documented by The Foundation. Personnel with clearance level 2 can freely ask SCP-5147-21 "The Scribe" for copies. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5147" by Sirslash47, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5148 | esoteric-class | Item #: SCP-5148 Special Containment Procedures: Procedure 5148-Alpha is to be observed when referring to the object class between Chokhmah and Binah for all anomalies registered in the Site-19 SCiPnet database. The object class may be spoken aloud, but not typed into the SCiPnet database to prevent the effects of SCP-5148 from manifesting. Due to the nature of SCP-5148, the anomaly itself and any SCP objects of the same object class are not to be tagged as the topmost of the Sephirot, and are instead designated as Malchut. Use of object class the most hidden of things is still to be utilized in standard Foundation databases outside of Site-19. Description: SCP-5148 is a digital anomaly affecting the Site-19 SCiPnet database. When an SCP object is tagged and designated as the coronal object class, SCP-5148 will manifest and change all uses of the word to 'Peter', as well as replace any attached image files with crudely drawn images of a character wearing green pants and a white button-up shirt. SCP-5148 was originally discovered by Alexandra.aic when the construct detected multiple unauthorized edits on hundreds of SCP files hosted on the Site-19 SCiPnet database. Alexandra.aic initially attempted to revert edits on the affected articles, but was unable to do so and alerted Foundation personnel to the problem. To date, all attempts to train AIC to edit files affected by SCP-5148 have failed. Addendum 5148.01: Recovered Chat Logs The following chat logs were found in an abandoned GoI-5869 'Gamers Against Weed' chatroom by a Foundation webcrawler and are believed to be relevant to SCP-5148. The document has been edited to follow Procedure 5148-Alpha. <BEGIN LOG> Takeovermetal: anyone want to play a modded doom level? lesbian_gengar: hey guys Bingledorf: Takeovermetal me lesbian_gengar: i just got done reading a new york times article on how the foundation classifies the things they contain jockjamsvol6: Ping! bluntfiend: Ping + Takeovermetal has uploaded file battleofrbikinibodoom.exe 32mb ⬇ - battleofrbikinibodoom.exe DOWNLAD FILE? - battleofrbikinibodoom.exe Bingledorf: sweet will play now lesbian_gengar: hey guys you're just in time for my kvetching lesbian_gengar: so like i was saying, the foundation right. they use these things called object classes to designate how dangerous things are. lesbian_gengar: get this lesbian_gengar: they use safe, euclid, and that which sits above Tiferet. bluntfiend: OK, and? lesbian_gengar: regal crown of the sephirot as in like the kaballah bones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabbalah lesbian_gengar: thank you bones <3 lesbian_gengar: so like this matters because that with 13 attributes is reserved for the most dangerous one bluntfiend: Makes sense, I see it means crown on the wikipedia page. jockjamsvol6: But what does this all mean? lesbian_gengar: idk but isn't it a little sus that a fascist organization is appropriating the kaballah? jockjamsvol6: I see what you mean.

SCP-5149 | keter | A ROUNDERHOUSE Joint Coming Soon - Rounderhouse ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} 4/5149 LEVEL 4/5149 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-5149 Keter Special Containment Procedures: Efforts to trace the source of SCP-5149 are ongoing. Description: SCP-5149 is a radio signal of unknown origin being received by Lunar Site-34 every 24 hours. Attempts to locate the source of SCP-5149 have been inconclusive, though it has been ascertained that the signal is coming from outside the Solar System. SCP-5149 consists of a short repeating message in UTF-8. The message is constructed of a series of forty-four dots laid out in a complex position pattern, interspersed with empty space in certain locations. Due to the extrasolar nature of SCP-5149's origin, this is believed to be an extraterrestrial communication or language system. At the moment, decryption of SCP-5149 is considered a Class-A priority; a team of cryptographers, linguists, and radio technicians are stationed at Lunar Site-34 for this purpose. Attempt Log: Attempt # Date Comment Output 1 1.30.14 Ran it through all modern language translation systems for similarities. A formality. Translation Failed. 2 2.03.14 Ran it against dot-based ancient languages — no distinct similarities. Translation Failed. 3 2.07.14 Ran a new task on the analysis computers — attempting to discern the complexity of a dot-based language. Translation Failed. [145 lines ommitted ] 149 5.29.14 New analysis computers arrived, broke them in by trying to simulate all possible divisions of the message. Translation Failed. 150 6.30.14 Manipulated base through flips, rotations, reflections, and several stretches and compressions before putting it through previous suite of analyses. Translation Failed. [96 lines ommitted ] 247 10.01.14 Not message at all? Maybe art? Compare for logical consistencies or repetitions of symbols to confirm if even language.

SCP-5150 | euclid | close Info X Author(s): JakdragonX Title: SCP-5150 - "Anomalous Dental Office." Other Works: SCP-5018 - "The Broken Rose." SCP-4983 - "The Lost Storyteller." More From This Author Photograph taken of the western edge of SCP-5150's exterior. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5150 is currently contained within Provisional Site 334. A disinformation campaign, as well as a cover story for Provisional Site 334 concerning a falsified "Hops Railroad Company," has been established to hide the existence of SCP-5150 and related media including poster advertisements, social media posts, and newspaper articles from the general public. How information about SCP-5150 continues to spread remains under investigation. In the event of unauthorized access to SCP-5150, personnel are required to be detained and immediately transferred to the on-site infirmary after successfully exiting. Once all of their excess teeth are removed and stored within the infirmary's storage room, personnel are to be evaluated and debriefed before being administered Class C amnestics. All on-site personnel who attempt to engage with SCP-5150 are required to carry one candy bar containing at least 35 grams of sugar at all times. Description: SCP-5150 is a dental office located outside the northwestern perimeter of Indianapolis, Indiana. SCP-5150 measures approximately 140 square meters, with the interior of the building measuring 115 square meters. The only distinguishable feature of SCP-5150's exterior is an electrical sign above the front entrance of the building, which reads "Dr. John Hendricks, DDS." SCP-5150's interior includes six rooms where SCP-5150-1, SCP-5150-2, and SCP-5150-3 instances reside. SCP-5150-1 is an entity that occupies the reception desk within SCP-5150. The physical characteristics of SCP-5150-1 resemble standard humanoid features, with the exception of its oral cavity. SCP-5150-1's maxillary and mandibular bones1 are disfigured and mutilated, with the regions expressing properties that include missing incisors, extra canines, and bleeding gingiva2. SCP-5150-1's anomalous attributes manifest once it is in possession of human teeth. Once this task is complete, SCP-5150-1 will insert these teeth into its mouth. The current reason behind this phenomenon is under investigation, with current information concluding that it is intended for correction of the entity’s oral cavity. Research towards understanding how the forced insertion of human teeth benefits SCP-5150-1 and SCP-5150-2 instances is underway. Subjects entering SCP-5150 are required to interact with SCP-5150-1 before continuing or exiting the building. SCP-5150-1 has been observed to express aggressive behavior towards human subjects. SCP-5150-2 instances are dental hygienists who have been observed in all sections of SCP-5150, excluding the waiting area. SCP-5150-2 instances exhibit similar physical and anomalous properties to SCP-5150-1. These instances have been observed to attack human subjects until they are successfully able to apprehend them. Once apprehended, SCP-5150-2 instances will transfer subjects to an open examination room where they will physically restrain them onto an operating table. SCP-5150-2 instances carry traditional dental instruments on their persons at all times, which they can use as weapons. X-ray images from Subject D-457142 after exposure to SCP-5150-3. SCP-5150-3, otherwise known as "Dr. John Hendricks," has been observed in SCP-5150's three examination rooms and its personal office. The current research focus is to ascertain the cause of SCP-5150-3’s anomalous abilities. With the available information, it has been concluded that SCP-5150-3 has the ability to manifest extreme cases of hyperdontia in human subjects. These manifestations do not occur naturally, with SCP-5150-3 being observed to insert teeth from an unknown source directly into a subject's mouth. Once SCP-5150-3 successfully operates on a human subject, it will attempt to give them a bag containing miscellaneous over-the-counter oral health care products. Human subjects are required to take this bag before exiting the building. Addendum 5150-1 Document SC-011-4IL Exploration Video Log Transcript Date: 07/09/2023 Subject: D-457142 Control Lead: Bobby Daniels Additional Team Members: Marcus Drago, Andrew Fullhar [BEGIN LOG] Subject D-457142 has been instructed to investigate and explore the building designated as SCP-5150. D-457142 has also been equipped with a █████ chocolate bar. The camera feed begins with the subject approaching the building. D-457142: I see it, I think. Are you all going to tell me what happens after I go in? Control: That's classified. Please continue. D-457142: It's a dentist's office, right? So what, are you trying to tell me that something other than "pulling teeth" is going to happen in there? Control does not respond to D-457142's question. The subject has successfully reached the front perimeter of SCP-5150's after an additional 4 minutes. Once the subject passes the perimeter, D-457142 successfully reaches the target location. D-457142 enters the building, and a doorbell rings nearby. After the subject arrives, a clicking sound is faintly heard behind the camera. D-457142: The hell? Did the door just lock? The subject turns around and attempts to leave the building. Their attempt at opening the entrance is unsuccessful. D-457142: Ha, real fucking funny fellas. This is a fantastic prank. I’m laughing on the inside, seriously. (The subject laughs sarcastically.) Alright, now that the shits and giggles are gone, can you unlock the door now? I won’t fucking leave; I just don’t like feeling cornered. Control: We don't have control over the doors. Please explore the room. D-457142 attempts to open the door two more times. Both attempts are unsuccessful. The subject tries to break through the glass surrounding the entrance. The subject is unsuccessful. D-457142: "We don't have control over the doors," my ass. Yeah, like I'd believe that. (The subject pauses briefly.) Speaking of which, are you guys ever going to explain who you are? Are you like, some non-for-profit organization or something? Control does not provide a response to D-457142. D-457142: Nah, you're too “mysterious” or whatever for that anyways. Control: You’ve been ordered to do something, D-457142. I highly suggest you listen, please. The subject turns around to face the waiting area. A row of 4 chairs surrounds the corner opposite of D-457142's position. To the right, miscellaneous toys and another row of chairs surround the other side. Along the left edge of the camera, SCP-5150-1 can be seen sitting behind a desk counter. The counter is encased in glass, with a small opening that is approximately 1.2 meters in height and 0.8 meters wide. SCP-5150-1 sits behind this opening; however, the camera is unable to observe its physical features. D-457142: If the camera isn't picking this up, it's just a waiting room. Other than "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" playing on one of the TV's, nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. What else should I do? Control: Please walk around the area. Once you have accomplished that, continue to the receptionist. The subject does as instructed, walking along the right side of the wall. After the subject explores the area, the camera turns to face SCP-5150-1. D-457142: What's wrong with this lady? SCP-5150-1's appearance includes a white-collar shirt and a white face mask covering the oral cavity. Directly in front of SCP-5150-1 is a sheet of paper. The subject turns around and approaches SCP-5150-1. SCP-5150-1: Hello, sir. Can I help you schedule an appointment? D-457142 reaches SCP-5150-1. D-457142: Yeah, I guess. How does one "schedule an appointment?" What's going to happen? SCP-5150-1 proceeds to give the subject a black pen. SCP-5150-1: You don't have to worry, sir. All you need to do is sign here. SCP-5150-1 points a finger towards a line on the paper. SCP-5150-1: We can schedule you in about five minutes? All you'll be doing is visiting with Dr. Hendricks, correct? D-457142: Sure. The subject signs the page. SCP-5150-1: Perfect. Now, before you can enter, there's one thing I'll need to see. D-457142: Yeah, like what? SCP-5150-1 Your teeth, of course. May I see them? D-457142: Wait. (D-457142 pauses.) Why do you need to see my teeth? SCP-5150-1: I'm currently taking online classes for dentistry and I need experience. Occasionally patients let me take a look at their teeth so I can predict how well an appointment with Dr. Hendricks will go. Will you let me try with you? D-457142: Oh. (D-457142 pauses.) Eh, what the hell. Sure, have at it. The subject opens its mouth. Once it performs this task, SCP-5150-1 grabs the lower left quadrant of D-457142's jaw. SCP-5150-1: Oh your teeth are so clean! This'll be a walk-in-the-park for you, no doubt about it. (SCP-5150-1 pauses.) Wow. SCP-5150-1 then quickly pulls out what appears to be a pair of pliers from under the desk. SCP-5150-1 proceeds to clamp the pliers to the bottom central incisors of the subject's mouth and pulls towards itself. This action tears the two incisors out of D-457142's mouth entirely. This action takes less than one second to complete. D-457142 steps away from SCP-5150-1 and screams. D-457142: Wha duh fah! Blood drips onto the camera lens. D-457142 clears the area. SCP-5150-1: These teeth… they're so gorgeous. Thank you. Note: The transcript has also been edited to understand D-457142. D-457142: Why would you do that? Stay away from me you freak! The subject steps away from the counter and locates what appears to be a tissue box. D-457142 grabs several sheets of tissue paper and proceeds to use those to clot their mouth. SCP-5150-1 is observed on the opposite end of the subject, staring at the two incisors. SCP-5150-1 then removes its face mask, revealing a disfigured oral cavity. SCP-5150-1 continues to forcefully insert the two incisors into vacant areas along its gingiva. D-457142 steps away from the entity. SCP-5150-1: Dr. Hendricks can see you now, sir. Please head to Room 3 for your examination. A clicking sound can be heard on the right side of the camera. D-457142 turns to see an open entrance leading to four more rooms. Control: Go through the door, please. After that, we have more tasks we need you to do. D-457142: Are you blind? That psycho-chick just ripped my fucking teeth out! Control: We have a medical team waiting for you, but remember that you're still locked inside. At this point we wouldn't be able to extract you. D-457142: So you're saying that I'm stuck here until this "appointment" is finished? Control: That is your only option. D-457142: You motherfuckers… damn it! The subject disposes of the used tissue paper and continues through the entrance. After crossing, the door automatically shuts itself, and another lock is heard clicking. D-457142: Ah, perfect. Icing on the fucking cake. D-457142 progresses into the hallway. After a moment, the sound of laughter is heard nearby. Its source cannot be determined. The subject quickly presses their body along the left side of the wall. After waiting for several minutes, D-457142 continues to walk alongside the wall until an instance of SCP-5150-2 exits from a room nearby the subject's location. D-457142 sits in a crouched position as SCP-5150-2 walks into the examination room opposite of the room it exited from. D-457142: How many of these guys will I have to avoid? Control: We don't have an exact number, but there may be an upwards of three. If required, use the chocolate we've supplied you with. That should help. D-457142 continues until they reach the end of the hallway. Once the location is reached, D-457142 turns perpendicularly to face an entrance that reads, "John Hendricks." The subject runs to the door and opens it. D-457142 remains in a crouched position as they enter and close the door leading into the room. The office is vacant. D-457142: I'm in. Pst, hello? What am I supposed to do? My fucking mouth's starting to ache, and my body hurts. Control: Acknowledged. Try to look for anything that could be of importance. Look for documents or research papers. Even a journal page will do as long as you can find something. D-457142: (Pause.) Fine, give me a second then. The subject does as instructed. The camera pans across the room before moving forward towards the center. A desk becomes visible, and D-457142 is observed to sit down and investigate. D-457142: The desk's empty. Of fucking course it is, can anything go my way? The door leading into the room opens. An instance of SCP-5150-2 emerges. SCP-5150-2: What are you doing? We have another room waiting for you. D-457142 steps against the back-facing wall. The subject then pulls out the chocolate bar from their left pocket and quickly unwraps it. SCP-5150-2 moves away from D-457142 and screams. Two more instances of SCP-5150-2 appear, with the second revealing a disfigured oral cavity similar to SCP-5150-1. The two instances both carry what appears to be Briault probes.3 SCP-5150-2 (2): Please come with us. All three instances slowly confront D-457142. Once within a range of approximately three meters, D-457142 throws the candy bar, which comes into contact with the third instance of SCP-5150-2. The entity then begins to scream, and it's visible oral cavity begins to bleed. The entity's exposed teeth also start to decay rapidly. D-457142: Stay away from me! The second instance of SCP-5150-2 quickly jumps in front of D-457142 and raises its left arm, which also holds the Briault probe. SCP-5150-2 then swings downward, stabbing the probe directly into the subject's right shoulder. D-457142 screams before attempting to push the entity away. The first instance of SCP-5150-2 then grabs the left forearm of D-457142 and proceeds to bite the exposed flesh. The subject's bone breaks, and it's forearm also begins to bleed. After more struggle, the three SCP-5150-2 instances overpower and subdue D-457142. The subject is later dragged away from the area and relocated to Room 3. Once successfully moved, the three instances force the subject onto the operating station and tie them into place using leather straps. D-457142 begins screaming again. SCP-5150-2 (2): You can trust us, sir. We'll just need to pull some teeth before the Dentist arrives. Please Note: The body camera attached to D-457142 now faces the ceiling, and does so for five more minutes. No visible footage was retrieved. D-457142 continues to struggle as movement around the camera is heard by the microphone. After approximately one minute, the sound of movement briefly pauses before D-457142 begins to scream again. With the information gathered, along with D-457142's final testimony, it is assumed that at this moment, the three instances of SCP-5150-2 were successfully able to remove the subject's two lower canines and three molars. The use of nitrous oxide was not reported; however, it is plausible in this circumstance as the subject remained conscious throughout the operation. 4:30 minutes of extraneous footage has been removed. SCP-5150-3: Hello there, sir. Sorry, it seems like I got here a bit late. Have the others already worked on you? D-457142: Fuck… you. SCP-5150-3: (SCP-5150-3 laughs.) What a tongue! Why so harsh? Don’t worry; this is for your own good. I know it may be scary, but it’ll all be done with soon. SCP-5150-3 continues laughing before the camera moves. After several seconds, it becomes unattached from D-457142, and SCP-5150-3 is visible. SCP-5150-3: Is this for a home video? Well, no matter. Technically this does break some "patient-doctor" confidentiality laws, but I can let this one slide. Here, let me get this at an angle where it can record better. SCP-5150-3 relocates the camera to the far right corner of the room. D-457142 and SCP-5150-3 are now visible. The subject's mouth continues to bleed. SCP-5150-3: There we go, much better! Now, where were we? Oh, that's right. By the looks of it, it seems that they've already started. It's a shame; your teeth aren't looking so great right now. But that's why you're here. I can help make it all better! SCP-5150-3 walks away from the subject and returns with one bag. SCP-5150-3 then walks to the opposite side of the rooms, where it retrieves several syringes as well as miscellaneous cleaning supplies. SCP-5150-3 once again returns to D-457142. SCP-5150-3: All right, that should just about be all that we need. Are you ready? D-457142: Stay away from me, you freak. SCP-5150-3: What a temper you have. No worries, you won’t act so ungrateful after I’m done. SCP-5150-3 elevates D-457142's operating chair and inserts a Jennings gag device4 into the subject's mouth. Once D-457142's oral cavity remains open, SCP-5150-3 starts to pick at the subject's teeth using a periodontal probe and a dental mirror. This continues for approximately five minutes until SCP-5150-3 begins to forcibly scrape at the subject's remaining teeth and tongue. SCP-5150-3 performs this action for approximately 10 minutes before replacing its current tools for a dental drill, which it uses to dig into the subject's gingiva and inner cheeks. The dental drill remains in the subject's oral cavity for an additional 15 minutes. From retrieved footage as well as D-457142's final testimony, the use of powerful anesthetics was recorded. However, these anesthetics were either injected in the wrong locations or were not concentrated enough to reduce the subject's pain. 2 hours of extraneous footage has been removed for brevity. SCP-5150-3: We're almost done with the cleaning! How are you holding up down there? D-457142 moans. SCP-5150-3: (Laughs) You're doing just fine! See, I knew you wouldn’t be so snappy after I started my work. Don’t worry; I'll just have to do one more thing. But, before I can do that, I'll have to move your camera. I can't allow this to be recorded. You understand, right? SCP-5150-3 approaches the camera and rotates it to face the opposite wall. SCP-5150-3: That's so much better! All right, time to get the procedure started. This should only take about another twenty minutes, or so, then you're free to leave. Isn't that exciting? D-457142 does not respond to SCP-5150-3. After this point, SCP-5150-3's anomalous abilities manifested, with later video surveillance concluding that D-457142 developed hyperdontia after interacting with SCP-5150-3. It has been assumed that this "procedure" was the causation of D-457142's development. 20:03 minutes of extraneous footage has been removed. After the procedure was successful, SCP-5150-3 attempted to give D-457142 a bag containing miscellaneous items. D-457142 acquired the bag from SCP-5150-3 before exiting the building. [END LOG] Closing Statement: Due to the number of teeth present within the subject's oral cavity, D-457142 was unable to speak after the procedure. Once D-457142 successfully exited the building, the subject was intercepted by Foundation personnel before transferring to Site 334's infirmary for treatment and debriefing. Further experimentation with SCP-5150 has been halted until Site Director Ford Cliff has authorized the necessary permissions in association with the Ethics Committee. Security Notice: As of 08/01/2023, the building originally designated as SCP-5150 no longer contains anomalous entities or paranormal phenomena. The cause for this is currently unknown; however, reports of poster advertisements concerning Dr. John Hendricks have been recorded near the city of Greenwood, Indiana, on 09/22/2023. All assets currently within Provisional Site 334 have now been tasked with relocating and containing SCP-5150, and its affiliated anomalies. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5151 | keter | close Info X SCP-5151: Chivalry Never Dies Author: WhiteGuard Author Page: Meet The Interviewer - WhiteGuard Special Thanks to Milo DeFrisco, Marcelles_Raynes does not match any existing user name, Recette, and Doorhandle Fragment of a painting which shows Zawisza Czarny on horseback holding a lance whose appearance resembles SCP-5151 Item #: SCP-5151 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5151 is to be housed in a large humanoid containment cell at Humanoid Containment Site-06-3. No electrical devices are permitted inside of the cell except for an audio-recording device. All lights in the containment cell have been replaced by oil-fed lamps built into the walls. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, MTF Pi-7 ("Honor Bound Knights") is to enter the containment cell to train and spar with SCP-5151 for 7 hours. Every Sunday evening, a wooden table with eight wooden chairs of are to be placed in the center of the containment cell. All members of MTF Pi-7 are required to seat themselves with SCP-5151 at the table. Personnel is instructed to prepare and serve various types of bread, pies, roasted pig, poultry, stews, and soups along with a variety of wines and ales to those seated at the table.1 MTF Pi-7 is allowed to leave the containment cell after SCP-5151 becomes incapacitated from the alcoholic beverages. Description: SCP-5151 is a male humanoid covered in a chain mail hauberk of Polish origin from the medieval era with a laurel wreath2 around its head. It identifies as "The Black Knight," although it references having many other names and titles in the past. SCP-5151 does not require rest, food, or water for survival, although it consumes food and beverages for pleasure. When SCP-5151 deems a subject dishonorable, SCP-5151 will stab through the subject's aorta with its longsword, and then proceed to anomalously drain the victim's blood from their body completely. Despite the appearance of having clothing and armor, every aspect of SCP-5151's body, garments, armor, longsword, and other adornments is made up of the same composition. This composition can pass through material objects and is impervious to physical damage. The entity has the capability to adjust this composition as it desires. These anomalous characteristics make containment of SCP-5151 through conventional means difficult. During its discovery, the entity was found to be capable of forming an anomalous mark onto a subject's hand when said subject forms a blood-pact3 with the entity. This mark is referred to as SCP-5151-2. When forming a blood-pact, SCP-5151 can establish an SCP-5151-2 instance with several subjects at the same time by creating a pact with their leader. SCP-5151-2 causes a mild burning sensation that varies in strength based on unknown factors. Affected individuals have had a noticeable increase in feelings of inadequacy and dread, as well as an increase in stress levels. It is unknown at this time as to whether or not SCP-5151-2 possesses any mind-affecting properties or if these factors can be attributed to the nature of this assignment combined with frustrations due to the current inability to remove SCP-5151-2. Addendum 5151.01: Initial Discovery Log SCP-5151 was discovered after the Foundation received reports of anomalous vigilante murders across the Alsace, Lorraine, Champagne, and Orléanais provinces of France. MTF Pi-1 ("City Slickers") were deployed to investigate the separate murders of E████ ██████ and G█████ ████████, two out of three men responsible for the murder of 4 adults as well as the kidnapping and trafficking of 18 children into child slavery from an orphanage in █████████, France. MTF Pi-1 agents found that each man had recently expired due to exsanguination.4 Both men possessed large stab wounds through their aortas; however, each man's body and clothing, lacked any visible or forensic traces of blood. This description followed the same pattern of the previous vigilante murders, and the MTF agents apprehended the third man responsible for the orphanage incident, R██ ███████, following a brief search in the region. On 08/08/2019, at 03:17 AM, during the transport of the subject to Site-06-3, MTF agents encountered SCP-5151 standing in the path of their vehicles. SCP-5151 began walking towards the vehicles as MTF agents attempted to make contact with the entity. The entity continued walking towards the vehicle despite warnings from the MTF agents. MTF Pi-1 proceeded to open fire on SCP-5151 to no effect. When the entity began to approach the vehicle which contained the subject, MTF agents attempted to restrain the entity physically; however, the agents were unable to grab the entity due to its ability to pass through matter. SCP-5151 stabbed the subject through his aorta with a longsword. After killing the subject, SCP-5151 proceeded to stare at MTF Pi-1-█ before lunging toward and killing him with the same process. SCP-5151 proceeded to sheathe its longsword and raise its hands in a submissive manner while the MTF agents continued to discharge their weapons in the entity. When MTF Pi-1 ceased their fire, SCP-5151 proceeded to greet them, "Brave fellows, do not worry about him. I disposed of him as I have with others of his lot. Loyalty is a virtue, and the lack of it will lead to the death of chivalry. My presence is a testament that chivalry will never die. With this being said, I understand you have been searching for me. Pray tell what you might need of me?" This statement led to MTF Pi-1 surrounding SCP-5151 and contacting Site Command. After MTF Pi-1 contacted Site-06-3 concerning the entity, Site Director T███ ███████ decided to send Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau along with site security to speak with the entity. After his arrival, Dr. Moreau proceeded to conduct an interview with SCP-5151. + Interview Log 5151.IL.01 - Hide Interview Log Interview Log 5151.IL.01 Interviewer: Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau Interviewed: SCP-5151 Date: 08/08/2019 Foreword: This interview was conducted on a deserted roadside 3 km from Site-06-3. This interview was conducted in the presence of Mobile Task Force Pi-1 along with security personnel. The following interview has been translated into English for convenience. <Begin Log, 03:58 AM> Dr. Moreau: (in French) Hello, I am Dr. Moreau. SCP-5151: (in French) Ah, a doctor, I see. I presume you wish to ask me some questions then? Dr. Moreau: You are correct. I would indeed like to interview you. Would you first explain your reasoning for why you killed one of our agents despite sparing the remaining agents who were attacking you? SCP-5151: (visibly disgusted) Good Sir, you must seek out better company than filth such as he. This "agent" as you called him was worth less than the ground he stood upon! Dr. Moreau: I do not understand. How exactly did he differ from the others? SCP-5151: Oh, I see. Well, I suppose even doctors struggle to see the hearts of men. Allow me to provide a hint for you, good Sir. As a good man once said, "there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery." Dr. Moreau: Aeschylus, correct? SCP-5151: (visibly excited) Well, not only a doctor but also a historian! What a lovely find! Aeschylus, the father of tragedy, but as such, I never cared for his work. It was a bit too depressing, and all the while bland for my taste. Nevertheless, he was a good man. But enough of that, I do assume that you have more to ask of me than a mere conversation about old times? Dr. Moreau: Yes, I do have many questions for you, so I must ask, are you willing to stay with us for the time being? To help us further our understanding? SCP-5151: I will gladly keep you and your fellow acquaintances' company, as I have been searching for company myself; however, I do have a few conditions concerning my stay. Dr. Moreau: We can make certain accommodations. Please continue. SCP-5151: I will need plenty of space to practice my swordplay. I will also need a retinue to train. Provide me with your seven best 'agents' as you call them. Men of virtue, brave, and those with reactions of a white eagle. I do not intend to deliver my second-best on any soul during training. We will train every Tuesday and every Thursday. We will have a grand banquet to celebrate our training every Sunday. The other days, you may use my men as you see fit, good Doctor. Comply with my requests, and you shall have a deal, good Sir! Dr. Moreau: I am afraid I do not have the authority to agree to terms such as those. Please allow me to confirm this with my superior first. SCP-5151: (chuckles) At times, one man's best effort is to call upon the aid of another. Go on, good Sir, and discuss this matter with your superior. <End Log, 04:04 AM> Closing Statement: After gaining approval to SCP-5151's requests with Site Director T███ ███████, SCP-5151 requested to make a blood-pact with Dr. Moreau to seal the agreement. SCP-5151 informed Dr. Moreau that it would not agree to stay unless Dr. Moreau made a blood-pact with it for himself and his assistants. After informing the site director of the situation, the site director allowed Dr. Moreau to make the decision on whether or not to accept. Due to the nature of SCP-5151's capabilities, it was agreed that containment would be challenging without a degree of cooperation involved. After gaining permission to do so, Dr. Moreau complied with the request by slicing his hand before proceeding to shake hands with SCP-5151. A mark labeled with the word "honoris" appeared on the top of Dr. Moreau's right hand as well as the right hands of his assistant researchers. Upon approval from Site Director T███ ███████, MTF Pi-7 ("Honor Bound Knights") has been formed to accommodate the current containment procedures of SCP-5151. These seven agents were chosen based on their skill in hand-to-hand combat as well as on their character compatibility with SCP-5151. After investigation of Pi-1-█'s belongings after the events which occurred, it was found that Pi-1-█ had several classified SCP documents as well as a note instructing him to steal SCP-████. It is believed that Pi-1-█ had a connection with the Chaos Insurgency. Addendum 5151.02: Discovery Follow Up Interview + Interview Log 5151.IL.02 - Hide Interview Log Interview Log 5151.IL.02 Interviewer: Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau Interviewed: SCP-5151 Date: 08/12/2019 Foreword: This interview was conducted inside of SCP-5151's containment cell. The following interview has been translated into English for convenience. <Begin Log, 10:29 PM> SCP-5151: Good morning, Dr. Moreau! Dr. Moreau: Good morning, SCP-5151. SCP-5151: (chuckles) I see that you are a stickler for your designations, Doctor. Dr. Moreau: You are correct, 5151. If you are willing, I would like to conduct an interview with you this morning. SCP-5151: Please continue then, Dr. Moreau! I would be glad to answer your questions. Dr. Moreau: Very well, my first question concerns the agent you killed the day we met. SCP-5151: (visibly disgusted) Oh? And what of that disgrace of a man? Dr. Moreau: Later that day, we found out that the agent in question happened to be working with a rival organization to ours. Were you aware of this man's affiliation with this group? SCP-5151: No, not particularly, good Sir. I am certainly not all-knowing. Dr. Moreau: Then why did you kill that man thinking that he had betrayed us? It certainly was not a coincidence. SCP-5151: (chuckles) Why, of course, it was no coincidence! Good Doctor, it surprises me every day to know that the common man can not see into the hearts of men. It was as clear as day that the man you call an agent was betraying you. And betrayal, that is a sin that only blood can forgive. Dr. Moreau: Why does betrayal bother you so greatly then? I am sure some of the other agents in that room were guilty of other sins in their lives? Why did you choose to not bother with the others? SCP-5151: Doctor, it may be that those other men had failed in their lives; however, betrayal goes against my very nature. That man, such a lack of honor, he was pure cowardice. And here am I chivalry incarnate! I could not allow such a man to live in my presence. Dr. Moreau: Very well then, moving on. What about the nature of this mark on my research team's hands? What is it exactly? SCP-5151: That is a simple one, Doctor. (gestures toward Dr. Moreau's hand with an instance of SCP-5151-2) This is a sign of our pact. It is common knowledge that a blood-pact is the greatest of all promises. Blood represents the life a man lives. If a man's blood is pure, so will be his heart. But if man's blood is tainted, his body will rot and decay until he can no longer be called human. Dr. Moreau: And what of this burning sensation it emits? SCP-5151: (chuckles) I would not worry about that insignificant sensation. Only liars and thieves have reason to worry about such matters of the flesh. Dr. Moreau: I see, well then, what is the significance of the word honoris? I understand that it is the Latin word for honor. With that being the case, what is the significance of honoris being written on the mark, and why is it in Latin? SCP-5151: Honor describes my being. As for the mark, It would serve us well to remember that we are both honor-bound together after the signing of our pact. Dr. Moreau: I believe I understand. And why is it in Latin, again? SCP-5151: (visibly concerned) If it really matters, Latin is a preferred language of mine. Dr. Moreau: Oh, is that so? Care to elaborate on why that is? SCP-5151: (chuckles) Good, Sir, perhaps I should write an autobiography so that you may know which is my preferred taste of wine! Dr. Moreau: Alright, 5151, we will touch on that subject again another day. I believe those are all of the questions that I have for today. Do you have anything you would like to add? SCP-5151: Why yes, good Sir! I do have a request. Dr. Moreau: Which is what exactly? SCP-5151: You see, I am not a believer in electricity. All it serves to do is corrupt the hearts of men. I would greatly appreciate it if you would remove the electrical lights from my room and replace them with more appropriate lighting. Also, could you tell my men to leave their devices in your office? Dr. Moreau: I believe we can manage those arrangements. I will contact my superior. Do you mind if we continue recording our interviews with this? (holds the audio-recorder device) SCP-5151: That would be perfectly fine, Dr. Moreau. I simply detest seeing electricity for all hours of the day. Dr. Moreau: I understand, 5151. Will there be anything else? SCP-5151: No, good Sir. I am otherwise perfectly content here. Thank you, Dr. Moreau. <End Log, 10:36 AM> Closing Statement: SCP-5151 has the ability to view people differently than humans. This ability grants it knowledge of whether or not this person is honorable by SCP-5151's standards. Along with this information, we have learned more about SCP-5151's fascination with blood as well as the purpose of SCP-5151-2 being a reminder of our promise to SCP-5151. The last topic of note is SCP-5151's request to distance itself from electricity. Although this is peculiar, I do not believe it is a weakness of SCP-5151, but rather a nuisance or hindrance to it. I'll leave this topic until we learn more about SCP-5151 and SCP-5151-2's nature. - Dr. Moreau Several experiments were conducted to remove SCP-5151-2 from the research team members. Each experiment resulted in failure; however, several aspects concerning the nature of SCP-5151-2's nature have been discovered. SCP-5151-2 can not be removed from the subject's hand by physical means. This includes removing the appendage in which SCP-5151-2 is attached. Due to the incident surrounding the detachment of Junior Researcher Damien Dupree's right hand, SCP-5151-2 was found to have relocated to his right arm. It was also found that researchers who demonstrate higher stress levels due to the existence of SCP-5151-2 were susceptible to greater burning sensations emitted by SCP-5151-2. Further research concerning SCP-5151-2 will be delayed until the nature of SCP-5151 is better understood. - Dr. Moreau Addendum 5151.03: Names and Titles of SCP-5151 + Interview Log 5151.IL.03 - Hide Interview Log Interview Log 5151.IL.03 Interviewer: Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau Interviewed: SCP-5151 Date: 01/03/2020 Foreword: This interview was conducted inside of SCP-5151's containment cell. The following interview has been translated into English for convenience. <Begin Log, 12:30 PM> Dr. Moreau: Hello, 5151, I will be conducting an interview with you today. SCP-5151: (visibly excited) Ah, Dr. Moreau again! Please, call me Black Knight. That is the title I have gone by for a while now. Dr. Moreau: I'm afraid that will not be possible. I have been instructed to address you as SCP-5151. However, that does pique my interest. Please elaborate on your title. Have you had different ones in the past? SCP-5151: (chuckles) Yes, Dr. Moreau. I have had several names and titles given to me over my time in this fine world. Most recently, my name was Zawisza Czarny, and I went by The Black Knight. I understand that you and your team do not seem to speak Polish, so you may address me as my title, although I understand if you have been told not to do so. Please continue to follow the instructions of your superiors. Dr. Moreau: Thank you for your understanding, 5151. I understand that you are from Poland then? You speak superb French to be from the other side of Europe. SCP-5151: Oh, that is where I was last given a title, Sir. I have been given titles from all manner of places across Europe. And as such, I have gained proficiency in many different languages such as Polish, English, Spanish, French, and as we previously established, I know Latin as well. Dr. Moreau: Ah, I see. Well, if that is the case, would you mind elaborating on some of those names and titles? SCP-5151: Certainly. My most recent name was Zawisza. But I have also been given many other names such as Edward, Rodrigo, and Charles. The titles I have been given along with those names include The Black Knight, The Black Prince, El Cid or El Campeador depending on whom you asked, and The Hammer. I have had more names and titles in the past, but it would be laborsome to list every single one of them. Dr. Moreau: I see, thank you for providing what you have to me. Did you happen to list your first name and title given to you? SCP-5151: (visibly concerned) No, I did not. Dr. Moreau: Would you care to provide those then? SCP-5151: I apologize, but I would prefer to keep that to myself. Dr. Moreau: Very well, what name and title were you given when you became familiar with Latin? SCP-5151: I once again apologize, but I am not willing to share that information. Dr. Moreau: Is there any particular reason for this that you would be willing to share? SCP-5151: (visibly agitated) Dr. Moreau, I would prefer not to talk about this any further. Dr. Moreau: I understand, 5151. I believe this interview is complete. Thank you for your cooperation. <End Log, 12:34 PM> Closing Statement: It is apparent from SCP-5151's agitation and resistance that it is hiding a key aspect concerning its past. I have assigned part of my research team to conduct historical research on Zawisza Czarny specifically as well as the other names and titles SCP-5151 provided in this interview. I have also assigned the other researchers on my team to search for historical figures from Roman times that match the characteristics displayed by SCP-5151. - Dr. Moreau Research Log 5151.RL.01 SCP-5151's appearance replicates the known records of Zawisza Czarny. From the fact that SCP-5151 relates Zawisza Czarny to be one of its previous names, it can be inferred that SCP-5151 has a strong connection to this figure. This information can mean either SCP-5151 replicates this figure's appearance and nature or that SCP-5151 was this figure in history. In Interview Log 5151.IL.02, SCP-5151 mentioned that it knew several languages and that it had the following names and titles from the past: Zawisza Czarny (1370 AD - 1428 AD), "The Black Knight", Polish Edward Plantagenet (1330 AD - 1376 AD)5, "The Black Prince", English Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (1043 AD - 1099 AD), "El Cid" or "El Campeador", Spanish Charles Martel (688 AD - 741 AD), "The Hammer", French These figures in history were all famous military-minded men who performed some great feat for their people or made some great cultural impact on their people. Another similarity between these men is their respectful nature. Each of these men was respected for holding to their values, and Zawisza Czarny specifically is known to have been the epitome of a chivalrous knight in medieval history. This information correlates with what we have already discovered concerning the nature of SCP-5151. Researcher Nathanael Namreg Addendum 5151.04: MTF Pi-7-1 Interview + Interview Log 5151.IL.04 - Hide Interview Log Interview Log 5151.IL.04 Interviewer: Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau Interviewed: MTF Pi-7-1 Date: 03/13/2020 Foreword: This interview was conducted inside Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau's office. <Begin Log, 08:46 AM> Dr. Moreau: (in English) Good morning, Captain. I trust that you have enjoyed your stay at Site-06-3? Pi-7-1: (in English) Yeah, Doctor. Things have been going well for myself and my men here. Our assignment, SCP-5151, has been a fairly enjoyable one thus far. Of course, I would hate to get on his bad side. Dr. Moreau: Captain, please try to refrain from referring to SCP-5151 as anything but an "it." SCP-5151 is anything but human. Pi-7-1: I understand, Doctor. Please continue with the interview. Dr. Moreau: Of course, Captain. How would you say that SCP-5151's training sessions have been going? Pi-7-1: It hasn't been too difficult. In one sense, it is very tiresome. In another sense, it is rather rewarding. I will say that my team has become even more adept at hand-to-hand combat as well as combat involving primitive weapons such as swords, spears, and bows. Of course, training only lasts a couple of days a week, and you guys furnish those big meals on Sundays. Dr. Moreau: How does 5151 act during these meals? Pi-7-1: Well, if I may say this, the meals are quite enjoyable. 5151 is quite the storyteller. My guess is that it has been around for a long time. It has a story for just about every point of time in history. Dr. Moreau: I instructed you to figure out what 5151's relation to Latin, the Romans, or simply that time period, in general, happens to be. Did you learn anything? Pi-7-1: Possibly, as you know, it doesn't like to talk about that subject. However, when it was drunk, it did open up to us a little bit. It told us that it used to be celebrated among the people at that time. It said they even made a shrine or something to 5151 along with its brother. It then went on a monologue about how its brother had this helmet that it was fond of all the time. The last thing it kept repeating to itself before it fell asleep was about how it missed its brother. I guess it had a brother at one point. Maybe something happened to its brother? I don't know. 5151 won't mention anything about it anymore. Dr. Moreau: Captain, did 5151 mention anything else about this temple or its brother? Anything specific about them or possibly any clue as to why it is hiding this information? Pi-7-1: Oh right, sorry. He mentioned that he and his brother got along real well, about how they would watch their people together and their successes. He then became sad and began to sit quietly. Mahesh, I mean 7-3, asked him what happened back then. 5151 then went on to tell us that sometimes things just get so hard that you need to get up and leave everything. He went on to say that he is just tired of remembering. That was when he started to go on about his brother. The guys tried to talk to him, but he ended up falling asleep after a few minutes of saying he missed his brother. Dr. Moreau: I see. That was quite informative, Captain. Thank you. Once again, do try to remember that SCP-5151 is an "it" and not a "he." Try not to get too attached while on this assignment. Pi-7-1: Right, of course. I understand, Doctor. Dr. Moreau: Are you doing all right, Captain? Pi-7-1: Yes, Doctor. I'm fine. Sorry for my poor language earlier. Dr. Moreau: That is quite all right, Captain. I would advise you to move on from the subject of its brother for now. I doubt 5151 will reveal anything further. That will end our interview for today. Good work, Captain. Pi-7-1: Doctor, can I mention one more thing? Dr. Moreau: Of course, Captain. What is it? Pi-7-1: Doctor, 5151 is enjoyable to be around. In fact, I believe it genuinely enjoys having us around. It is also very helpful in training, both in a physical sense as well as a mental one. That is all true. However, none of us have ever been able to lay a hand on it during our sparring sessions. It is almost like it knows how we will react to every situation. To be honest with you, we all understand that it has a tremendous amount of power that it chooses to hide. We can all feel it. My team is trained well, so we understand this and move on. If not for that, well, I think we would just be paralyzed with fear. We can tell that 5151 wasn't always like this. I don't know why 5151 suppresses itself, but it's like 5151 is just putting on an act most of the time. That is all I wanted to say. Dr. Moreau: Thank you, Captain. That will be all for today. <End Log, 08:50 AM> Closing Statement: Pi-7-1 was able to gather useful information for us regarding the nature of this entity. I theorize that SCP-5151 was worshipped as one of the deities found in the Roman Pantheon, or simply some lesser-known deity around the same time period and area. The part concerning the brother is interesting to note. I will have part of my team search Roman history for a deity that matches the description of SCP-5151. The findings of this interview, as well as the preceding logs, will be turned in later today to Site Director T███ ███████ for review. - Dr. Moreau Addendum 5151.05: Incident Report 5151.IR.01 + This File Requires Level 3 Clearance Access - Access Granted The following memo was sent from Troy Boucher's computer, the previous site director of Site-06-3, to Sylvain Moreau, the previous senior researcher responsible for study on SCP-5151. To: Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau From: Site-06-3 Site Director, Troy Boucher Date: 03/14/2020 Subject: Containment Procedure Changes For SCP-5151 Dr. Moreau, effective immediately, you and your team are to stop providing weekly accommodations to SCP-5151. SCP-5151 has become an unnecessary drain on Foundation resources. This order is a direct mandate I have received from my superiors. You may take appropriate precautions, but do not allow MTF Pi-7 to enter SCP-5151's containment cell this coming Sunday evening under any circumstances. I expect a full debrief of your results from these changes no later than Monday afternoon. I trust that you will comply with this directive and trust your superior on this delicate issue. Remember, the Foundation knows what is best. On 03/15/2020 at 10:53 PM, Site-06-3's containment breach alarm was triggered by Researcher Nathanael Namreg when SCP-5151 appeared in front of him in the western wing hallway adjacent to SCP-5151's containment cell. SCP-5151 lunged toward him and proceeded to kill him. The researcher's body slid off of SCP-5151's longsword and proceeded to burst into flames as it fell to the floor. SCP-5151 was then seen walking to the site cafeteria where Junior Researchers Damien Dupree and Abigail Jolly were located. Despite guards discharging their weapons into SCP-5151, SCP-5151 proceeded to kill the junior researchers in the same fashion as the previous researcher with their bodies also bursting into flames. SCP-5151 continued this process until Researcher Angeline Ponce, and Junior Researchers Alastair Lawrie, Helen Burrows, Michel Bisset, and Marvin Tendler were all killed. At 11:33 PM, SCP-5151 walked through the locked door of Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau's office. Inside of the office was Dr. Moreau alongside MTF Pi-7. SCP-5151 lunged toward Dr. Moreau and stabbed him. Pi-7-3, Pi-7-4, and Pi-7-5 proceeded to discharge their weapons into SCP-5151 to no effect. Pi-7-2, Pi-7-6, and Pi-7-7 proceeded to hit SCP-5151 with steel swords, also to no effect. Pi-7-1 proceeded to fire a taser at SCP-5151 causing it to convulse for a brief moment before slapping Pi-7-1 across the office. The senior researcher's body proceeded to slide off of SCP-5151's longsword before bursting into flames and falling to the floor. At 11:37 PM, SCP-5151 became cordial before MTF Epsilon-11 arrived at Site-06-3. MTF Pi-7 informed MTF Epsilon-11 of the situation, and Epsilon-11 quickly secured the facility. The entire research team for SCP-5151 was found to be lacking any blood in their bodies or surroundings. The research team was also found to have third-degree burns across their bodies with their right hands heavily charred. The sole exception to this was Junior Researcher Damien Dupree, whose right forearm was heavily charred instead. It is believed that SCP-5151-2 was the origin and cause of the researchers' spontaneous combustion. After the incident, Site Director Troy Boucher was found deceased inside of his locked office. The autopsy showed that he had died due to strangulation the day before his last memo was sent to Dr. Moreau. MTF Epsilon-11 also found traces of a large data transfer of SCP files from the site director's computer to a remote location off-site. It remains unknown as to why the site director's death was not discovered sooner as well as to how someone was able to infiltrate Site-06-3 as well as gain access to the site director's office and computer. Considering previous circumstances surrounding SCP-5151, an investigation into a possible connection between this incident and the Chaos Insurgency is currently being conducted by MTF Epsilon-11. SCP-5151 will be transferred to Site-54 along with MTF Pi-7. During this incident, 9 researchers died, an MTF agent was injured, a site director was murdered, an entire site was compromised along with several small breaches as well as a major one, and we found out that SCP-5151 can not be stopped by seemingly any force we can think of at the moment. As the commander of MTF Epsilon-11, I recommend the immediate transfer of SCP-5151 to a more secure containment site like Site-54. I also recommend someone to form a blood-pact with SCP-5151 to keep the entity from choosing to leave as this seems to be the only way to contain it to some degree. MTF Pi-7 should be transferred alongside SCP-5151 due to their familiarity with the entity. As for Site-06-3, I have never witnessed a greater breach in security at a Foundation site than what I have seen here today. This was negligence to the greatest degree. MTF Epsilon-11 Commander, Mortimer Ward The following memo is from Senior Researcher Herrmann Richter, the current senior researcher responsible for SCP-5151, to Site-54 Site Director Gerard Hansjörg. To: Site-54 Site Director, Gerard Hansjörg From: Senior Researcher Herrmann Richter Date: 03/16/2020 Subject: Concerning the Incident and the Nature of SCP-5151 After being given SCP-5151, I conceded to forming a blood-pact with it on behalf of my research team as well as for myself per the request of the commander of MTF Epsilon-11 as well as your orders. Noting the incident that occurred at Site-06-3, I recommend that SCP-5151's initial requests to continue to be fulfilled until we can discover the full extent of its abilities as well as its limitations. We learned that when breaking the terms of a blood-pact with SCP-5151, the entity gains the ability to locate the subject who bears an instance of SCP-5151-2 in which SCP-5151 will proceed to kill the subject. SCP-5151 will continue to teleport to and kill each subject who bears an instance of SCP-5151-2. After killing a subject with an instance of SCP-5151-2, the instance will proceed to combust and burn until the mark is no longer discernible on the subject's body. Since my team and I now possess instances of SCP-5151-2, I have decided not to inform my team of the details of the incident. They are already under a great deal of stress from being linked to a powerful entity. The power this thing seems to possess can be frightening to imagine. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING FILE IS LEVEL 4 CLASSIFIED ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THIS FILE WITHOUT LEVEL 4 AUTHORIZATION WILL BE LOGGED AND WILL LEAD TO IMMEDIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION. + Council Response To Incident Report 5151.IR.01 - Access Granted STATEMENT FROM THE OVERSEER COUNCIL Per the events found within Incident Report 5151.IR.01, the Site Director of Site-06-3 was murdered by an entity believed to be connected to the Chaos Insurgency. This entity was not only able to escape the facility without being captured or recorded but was also able to escape with countless Foundation secrets and documents about the containment of numerous SCPs. In addition to this catastrophic failure of Site-06-3's security, a major containment breach occurred simultaneously, which resulted in the deaths of an entire research team. During this containment breach, several minor breaches also occurred, which resulted in only minor damage to the facility. As a result of this failure of security, Site-06-3 Security Director Oliver Albury has been administered a Class C amnestic and demoted to D-class. Upon the arrival of the new Site and Security Directors for Site-06-3, MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") will be relieved by MTF Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand") from the investigation of the entity responsible for this incident. In the future, harsher penalties will be administered if the Foundation ever witnesses a breach of security of this scale. This statement is the judgment of the O5 council. Secure. Contain. Protect. Addendum 5151.06: Research Update Updated Containment Procedures: SCP-5151 has been moved to Integrated Containment Site-54. MTF Pi-7 has relocated to Site-54 to provide further accommodations to SCP-5151. All other prior accommodations to SCP-5151 are still granted; however, the walls of the containment cell have been constructed with a grid pattern of electrical wiring inside. This grid pattern aligns with the door to the cell when closed to complete the circuit. An electrical current of 1,000 amps is passed through this wire grid at all times. MTF Pi-7 will be armed with experimental Nemtyshkin EDA's6. + This File Requires Level 3 Clearance Access - Access Granted Interview Log 5151.IL.05 Interviewer: Senior Researcher Herrmann Richter Interviewed: SCP-5151 Date: 03/18/2020 Foreword: This interview was conducted inside of SCP-5151's new containment cell at Site-54. <Begin Log, 10:00 AM > Dr. Richter: (in English) Hello, SCP-5151. SCP-5151: (in English) It's a pleasure, Dr. Richter. I presume you wish to conduct an interview? Dr. Richter: Indeed. I would like to speak with you about the incident that occurred at Site-06-3. SCP-5151: (silence) … Dr. Richter: You made quite the mess there, 5151. SCP-5151: Dr. Richter, I understand that in the eyes of men, what I did may seem cruel. However, I purified their hearts. They were good people once, but they betrayed me. They broke their promise. They made their decision. They knew what I had to do. SCP-5151 proceeded to avoid eye contact with Dr. Richter and began to look around the cell nervously. Dr. Richter: But something still seems to bother you, doesn't it, 5151? SCP-5151: (visibly bothered) They broke their promise. People always break their promises. They always break their promises and leave. Why can't they just keep their word? Why can't … Dr. Richter: Actually, 5151, it turns out that the research team did not have a choice. They were deceived by a rival organization of ours. Did you happen to be aware of this? SCP-5151: (visibly surprised) What? Dr. Richter: Indeed. Someone infiltrated our site and acted like your research team's superior. This man specifically told Dr. Moreau not to allow MTF Pi-7 to visit you that day. Dr. Moreau had no choice but to listen to his superior. SCP-5151: (silent and visibly bothered) … Dr. Richter: 5151? Do you have any input? (a silent pause) Alright, we will continue another day then. Thank you, 5151. <End Log, 10:08 AM> The following memos are correspondence between Senior Researcher Herrmann Richter and Site-54 Site Director Gerard Hansjörg concerning Dr. Richter's findings on SCP-5151. To: Site-54 Site Director, Gerard Hansjörg From: Senior Researcher Herrmann Richter Date: 03/21/2020 Subject: Concerning the New Containment Procedures After studying and furthering Dr. Moreau's research, I have concluded that SCP-5151's hidden identity belongs to Honos, the Roman god of chivalry, honor, and military justice. Honos was a war god who was celebrated among the Romans along with Virtus, the war god of virtue. These gods were given their own temple in Rome, where they were worshiped together until the temple was closed due to the persecution of pagans during the 4th century. It seems this event might be compounded with whatever trauma SCP-5151 appears to be experiencing. Knowledge of this entity's identity is useful since SCP-5151 seems bound to this nature regardless of its own desires. In the interview I conducted, I found this conflicting internal nature of SCP-5151. Although remorseful may not be the word, SCP-5151 had some degree of depression regarding the events that unfolded, which leads me to believe that this entity can not completely control itself when faced with an incident such as the one found in Incident Report 5151.IR.01. Dr. Moreau's team performed extensive research on SCP-5151's nature, so I do not see any more need to continue this line of research. Although I appreciate the added containment procedures, I do hope you realize that these procedures will likely do little to prevent SCP-5151 from reaching myself and my team if it is angered. Concerning SCP-5151-2, as Dr. Moreau's team attempted physical removal, I would like to test the removal of SCP-5151-2 by using SCP-500. I believe that since it appears to be some kind of anomalous condition, it might be possible to remove it using the cure-all drug. On a side-note, Site Director, my research team is having issues coping with being linked to this entity. If you would be willing to provide some accommodations that might help reassure them in some way, I believe our research on SCP-5151 will be dramatically aided. To: Senior Researcher Herrmann Richter From: Site-54 Site Director, Gerard Hansjörg Date: 03/21/2020 Subject: RE: Concerning the New Containment Procedures Dr. Richter, your input and concerns have been noted, and your recommendations have been granted for the time being. It is the Foundation's desire for you to focus your research on the capabilities of SCP-5151 to find ways to prevent it from being able to breach containment when faced with something as trivial as broken promises. As for your request, I will provide your team with routine therapy checkups until the situation blows over, and they can stabilize themselves again. Concerning SCP-500, that will need to be discussed at a later time. For now, I look forward to hearing your future suggestions on how we should try to contain a god. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5152 | safe | Item#: 5152 Level2 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: notice link to memo Item #: SCP-5152 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5152 is to be stored in a Class 1 Anomalous Object container at Site-29 when not undergoing testing or use by Foundation personnel. Access to the object must be approved by at least two researchers of Level 2 clearance or higher. Testing of SCP-5152 must be monitored by Site-29 medical staff in the event of psychological and behavioral abnormalities in subjects post-exposure to SCP-5152. Under no circumstances are personnel that has been administered amnestetics to be allowed access to SCP-5152 (See Addendum 5152-A). Description: SCP-5152 is a black eye mask composed of silk, polyester, and rubber. The object exhibits no unusual physical properties apart from its tensile strength, which resembles that of hardened steel. The mask itself is consistent with the Manta brand of sleep masks produced between the years of 2005 and 2012. However, the mask itself lacks the company’s manufacturer markings. When worn, the wearer is transported to a corridor stretching beyond the subject's range of vision, with doors lining its walls. Various tests indicate that the number of doorways and the physical length of the corridor change depending on the subject, with the only consistency being that of the corridor’s apparent stonework. The corridor appears to be constructed of a marble-like substance, with each of the doors constructed of similar material. However, attempted testing of the material in question has resulted in failure, as samples appear to be unstable outside of the anomaly1. All GPS tracking of subjects entering SCP-5152 has proven ineffective, implying that the corridor may exist in a separate reality. Subjects report tranquility and increased curiosity inside the corridor, pushing them to navigate it. After three minutes, the subject will attempt to open one of the doors and proceed within. Subjects report observing a third-person perspective scene of an event from their past within, with a majority of these scenes prompting a positive response from subjects2. Subjects have also observed vocalizations (hereby designated SCP-5152-1) post conclusion of the observed scene. In all cases, SCP-5152-1 will attempt conversation with the subject in regards to the scene. In all cases, SCP-5152-1 prompts an overall positive outlook from the subject and is often described as a voice similar to that of a close friend or family member related to the subject. Most commonly, SCP-5152-1 will take on the voice and mannerisms of an individual involved within the specific memory of the subject3. When SCP-5152 is removed, subjects return to their location prior to interaction with SCP-5152 with no observable deterioration in physical or mental health regardless of time elapsed. It is of note that individuals suffering from PTSD4 or other stress-related conditions observe the most significant change in overall demeanor post-exposure to SCP-5152. Testing into the potential use as an antidepressant or therapeutic device is ongoing. Discovery: SCP-5152 was discovered by Foundation field agents on 5/7/20██ following numerous reports of a new anomalous mental health treatment program developed by DreamScape Pharmaceuticals™, based in Tampa, Florida5. Foundation agents confirmed the anomalous nature of SCP-5152 after field agents arranged appointments with the clinic in question, and a demonstration of the procedure was observed. Class-B amnestetics were supplied to all staff at the clinic and all documented individuals that underwent treatment via SCP-5152 were subsequently questioned, amnesticized, and released. SCP-5152 was later transported to its current containment at site-29. Addendum 5152-A: Due to the substantial breach of confidential information spanning various clearance levels due to SCP-5152, any further testing of SCP-5152 utilizing individuals that have undergone amnestetic treatment is unanimously prohibited by the O5 Council (See Experiment III for details). + Experiment I - Experiment I Experiment I D-9341 is a 30-year old caucasian male previously known as Sgt. Benjamin O. Walker. D-9341 has a history of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-related nightmares following the failed Operation Hellfire, resulting in D-9341’s AWOL status and eventual dishonorable discharge from the United States Marine Corps. Subject is equipped with a digital camcorder outfitted with a transmission beacon, a GPS tracker, vital monitoring systems, and an audio headset for communication with Dr. Trout at command. <BEGIN LOG> Subject D-9341 is escorted into testing chamber 12-A and instructed to place SCP-5152 over his eyes. Subject complies and places the object over his eyes. Video and audio feed malfunctions for approximately thirty seconds before the connection is reestablished. GPS tracking of D-9341 malfunctions, and subsequent attempts to re-establish GPS location fail. D-9341 is observed standing in an apparent marble corridor stretching beyond the scope of the video observation equipment with doorways of similar material on either side. Dr. Trout: Visual confirmed. D-9341, please report. D-9341: Yeah, I’m here… wherever here is… Dr. Trout: Please proceed down the corridor. D-9341 is observed to turn, facing down both directions of the corridor. After two minutes, D-9341 proceeds down the corridor in a single direction, stopping intermittently while examining the doorways. D-9341: Something feels off, doc. Dr. Trout: Please elaborate. D-9341: I don’t know… it feels like I’m dreaming or some shit… what exactly is this place? Dr. Trout examines the vital signs of D-9341, observing brain activity consistent with REM sleep cycles. The rustling of papers is heard for approximately five seconds before the conversation resumes. Dr. Trout: Please continue down the corridor. D-9341 proceeds down the corridor for an additional fifty-five seconds with no observable endpoint to the corridor before pausing in front of a door to his left. Subject is observed reaching for the doorknob before dialog resumes. Dr. Trout: D-9341, why have you stopped? D-9341: I… I don’t know. Curiosity I guess… why are there so many doors? No response from Dr. Trout is heard for around thirty seconds, at which point Dr. Trout instructs D-9341 to open the door in front of him and proceed through it. D-9341 obliges and enters the doorway, appearing in what seems to be a village in modern day Afghanistan. D-9341 is observed quickening his breathing upon observation of the scene. D-9341: What the fuck… what the FUCK?! D-9341 is seen frantically looking around the scene before pausing on three individuals dressed in standard United States Marine field operations equipment, with one of the soldiers matching D-9341’s physical appearance. D-9341 approaches one of the individuals, reaching a hand out to them as the group proceeds down a narrow street. Dr. Trout: D-9341, please report. No response from D-9341 is given for the next few minutes as contact attempts go unacknowledged. D-9341 proceeds to follow the individuals within the scene. D-9341: No! Stop! James for fucks sake please stop! Dr. Trout: D-9341, are you there? Please respond. The individuals proceed forward despite D-9341’s requests. After a few seconds, the sound of a firearm discharge is observed in the audio feed and one of the figures collapses to the ground. D-9341 is observed in extreme emotional distress following this event and the scene ends. D-9341 is observed sobbing for approximately two minutes following the conclusion of the scene. Dr. Trout attempts dialogue with D-9341 during this time. Subject does not respond, and vocalizations from an entity (designated SCP-5152-1) are observed. SCP-5152-1: It wasn’t your fault, Ben. D-9341 is observed turning to his right, then left before standing still once again, as if confused. D-9341: Who said that?! SCP-5152-1: Easy, I’m not gonna hurt you. I’m sorry you had to see that again. D-9341 is silent for a few seconds. D-9341: You were my brother… SCP-5152-1: I still am, but I never blamed you for what happened that day. D-9341: Our position was compromised… we should have been more careful… maybe then you wouldn’t have had to die… SCP-5152-1: Ben, please… this isn’t the life I wanted for you… hell, this isn’t even living. You’re dwelling on the past when you should be looking towards the future. You can’t keep thinking about what you could’ve done. It’ll eat you up from the inside out. D-9341: I tried to save you… SCP-5152-1: And I would have done the same for you, but it's time to live your best life. If not for yourself, then for me. D-9341 is observed sobbing once again before SCP-5152-1 establishes dialogue once again. SCP-5152-1: It’s okay, Ben. I forgive you… it’s about time you forgive yourself. D-9341: I love you, James… I miss you so much… SCP-5152-1: I never left, Ben… and I never will. D-9341 is observed standing at attention, saluting in the direction in which audio observed SCP-5152-1 originating from, before lowering his hand and exiting the scene through the same door as its entry. Video surveillance fails to observe any physical manifestation of SCP-5152-1. D-9341 is instructed to remove SCP-5152 and is subsequently escorted back to his cell following psychiatric evaluation by site psychologists. <END LOG> Notes: Upon questioning, D-9341 stated that SCP-5152-1 was the voice of one Pvt. Jameson B. Walker, who was fatally wounded while on assignment with D-9341 prior to Operation Hellfire. When pressed, D-9341 simply said, “I think I finally got to say goodbye”. Subject reports no further nightmares post SCP-5152 exposure and has shown an increase in cooperation with Foundation personnel following exposure. Further testing to determine the effects of multiple exposures to SCP-5152 has been approved by lead researcher Dr. Manning. + Experiment II - Experiment II Experiment II D-9341 is brought into testing chamber 26-B for experimentation with SCP-5152 following approval of additional testing by Dr. Manning. Subject is equipped with a digital camcorder outfitted with a transmission beacon, vital monitoring systems, a geological sampling kit, and an audio headset for communication with Dr. Trout at command. <BEGIN LOG> D-9341 is instructed by security personnel to place SCP-5152 over his eyes. Subject complies without hesitation and places SCP-5152 over his eyes. Video and audio feed cuts for approximately ten seconds before the connection is reestablished, and transportation to the corridor is confirmed by command. Dr. Trout: Connection is proficient, systems operational. D-9341, please report. D-9341: Yep, I’m in the hall again. Need me to walk down it again? Dr. Trout: In a moment. Please use the provided sample kit to collect stone from the walls and doorways on either side. D-9341: Um… alright doc. D-9341 is observed approaching the wall to his left and attempting to collect geological samples for analysis. Approximately twenty seconds pass before D-9341 acquires a sample of the corridor wall. The subject then gathers a sample from a door to his left, taking ten seconds to complete the task. Visual inspection via video feed shows little variance between the materials. D-9341: Is this enough for the eggheads in the lab? Dr. Trout: Yes, the sample size is sufficient. Please proceed down the corridor on your right. D-9341 turns down the corridor to their right and proceeds as instructed. After approximately one minute of walking down the corridor, video feeds observe what seems to be the end of the corridor constructed of the same material as the corridors other features. D-9341: Hey doc, what am I doing now? Dr. Trout: Please collect a sample of the material in front of you, then proceed through the first doorway to your right behind you. D-9341 sighs then begins to extract a sample of the hall material at the end of the corridor. After approximately ten seconds, D-9341 turns around and proceeds to the first door on his right, opening the doorway and proceeding through it. The subject appears in a large room with ten individuals dressed in military fatigues and equipped with standard-issue United States Marine arms and armaments. The building itself appears to be constructed of concrete, with several small windows on the far edge of the room; the outside scenery best resembles the capital city of Kabul, Afghanistan. D-9341 shows signs of unease as he proceeds to explore the scene. D-9341: Doc… I don’t like this. Dr. Trout: I beg your pardon? D-9341: I’m saying I don’t want to fucking be here. Let me out. Dr. Trout: I’m afraid I cannot allow that. D-9341: The fuck you mean you can’t?! I can take this mask off whenever I damn well please! Dr. Trout: D-9341, ending the experiment will result in your termination. Do you understand? D-9341 groans loudly, putting a hand to his forehead. D-9341: FUCK!! You win. Fucking asshole… D-9341 is observed turning frantically to either side of the room, examining the scene. Vital monitoring equipment shows an accelerated heart rate and adrenal spike consistent with the acute stress response. D-9341 is observed attempting to exit the scene while the figures converse with one another. However, said dialogue remained unintelligible due to the D-9341’s frantic movements. Dr. Trout: D-9341, remain in the scene and stay calm. D-9341: Fuck you! Let me out of here! D-9341 is observed turning back to the scene as the figures rush to the far right window following what appears to be a detonation of improvised explosives. The remaining figures appear to take a defensive position in relation to the windows, with one figure appearing to command them. Facial recognition determines the commanding figure to be D-9341. D-9341: Fuck! Doc, please! Let me out of here! D-9341 sprints to one of the windows, and video surveillance observes several figures in varying clothing on the streets below. Suddenly a large explosion is heard and the scene turns a pale orange color. Video equipment malfunctions for approximately three seconds before resuming. D-9341 appears to be lying prone on the ground with the camera facing the ceiling. Audio equipment documents the sound of exasperated breathing, presumably from D-9341. Dr. Trout: D-9341, report. Please respond. D-9341 does not respond but proceeds to stand and observe his surroundings. Several of the figures lay on the ground motionless, while the figure resembling subject D-9341 lays against a wall with various lacerations to the torso and thighs. The figure seems to look around for ten seconds, before appearing to fall unconscious. D-9341’s heart rate accelerates to two hundred ten beats per minute. Medical staff instructs Dr. Trout to terminate the experiment when vocalizations are observed. SCP-5152-1: Hey, Ben… I’m sorry you had to live through that again. D-9341: sobbing why… SCP-5152-1: I’m sorry… but there was nothing you could’ve done. It was an ambush. Fuckers found our location before we could react. D-9341: You weren’t even supposed to be there… we were pinned down and needed reinforcements. Then it all went to shit. SCP-5152-1: You saved us though… had it not been for you far more would’ve lost their lives that day. Think of Pvt. Maxwell. Can you truly say that you didn’t save his life? D-9341: I didn’t… I ruined it. He’s fucking paralyzed… SCP-5152-1: But he is alive… You saved his life. You let him see his daughter again… his wife again. D-9341 is observed weeping as he adjusts his position to his knees. D-9341: But what about you? What about your friends, your family? What about them? SCP-5152-1: They don’t blame you for what happened. I Lost my sight… but it's because of you that I’m able to hold them in my arms again. You may not realize it, but you saved more than just our lives that day. D-9341: So much death… and for what? So we could take some damned city? SCP-5152-1: Ben, all of that is in the past. It’s time for you to let go of your hatred for yourself. Become the man I know you were meant to be. D-9341 stands. SCP-5152-1: Do you get it now? D-9341: I never caused your pain… SCP-5152-1: There you go… now do me a favor, will ya? D-9341: Anything… SCP-5152-1: Keep doing what you do best; keep us safe. D-9341: I will… I promise. D-9341 turns away from the scene and removes SCP-5152. Security personnel apprehend D-9341 and escort him to the infirmary for psychiatric evaluation. It is of note that the samples of the internal surfaces of SCP-5152 and its corridor seemed to demanifest once D-9341 exited SCP-5152. <END LOG> Notes: When debriefed, D-9341 revealed that he was involved in an ambush during Operation Hellfire which led to the casualties of three men within his unit, with the remaining individuals suffering major injuries. When pressed, D-9341 simply stated, “I got a promise to keep, doc. A promise to an old friend”. D-9341 developed an increase in morale and has repeatedly requested to “fulfill his promise”. Additional experimentation with other D-Class personnel to improve overall cooperation has been approved by assistant researcher Dr. Warren. Further attempts to gather samples of SCP-5152 and its corridor are being considered for further experiments. + Experiment III - Experiment III LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED: INPUT CREDENTIALS . . . . . . . . . . . . . CREDENTIALS ACCEPTED: LOADING FILE… Experiment III Following approval from Dr. Warren and additional suggestions by Dr. Trout, D-9341 was once again selected for experimentation to determine the overall effectiveness of SCP-5152 as a means of improving morale within the D-Class population. Once more, D-9341 is equipped with a digital camcorder outfitted with a transmission beacon, vital monitoring systems, and an audio headset for communication with Dr. Trout at command. <BEGIN LOG> D-9341 is escorted to testing chamber 46-C by security personnel. Upon entering, D-9341 shows mild enthusiasm upon seeing SCP-5152. D-9341 proceeds to cover his eyes with SCP-5152 despite the absence of instruction to do so. Video and audio equipment remains constant with no transition, implying the transportation into SCP-5152 was instantaneous. D-9341: Alright, doc. I’m back in. What do you need me to do again? Dr. Trout: You may proceed down either direction of the corridor. Enter a door of your choosing and remain within until the vocalizations are once again observed. D-9341: Vocalizations? You mean my friends and shit? Dr. Trout: Irrelevant. Please proceed. D-9341: What do you mean irrelevant? Dr. Trout: Proceed down the corridor, D-9341. D-9341 is observed sighing, then turns down both directions of the corridor before continuing down the pathway to his left for approximately one minute. Video feed observes the estimated sample collection locations.. Dr: Trout: Hold on. D-9341, please turn to your left. D-9341: Huh? Um… alright. D-9341 complies and turns to his left, appearing to match the location of the first sample collection in experiment II. Notably, the corridor exhibits no sign of damage that would be present from said sample collection. Dr. Trout is observed taking a note of the occurrence before resuming dialogue. Dr. Trout: Strange… this was where he took sample A, correct? D-9341: Sample A? You mean when you had me scrape some stone off the wall? D-9341 examines the wall with his right hand and seems to pause momentarily. D-9341: Yeah… this seems like the place. But there’s not even a dent. Dr. Trout: Yes, I have come to the same conclusion. Please proceed onward in the direction you had previously. D-9341 complies and continues down the corridor once again. After approximately one minute, D-9341 stops and turns to a doorway on his right. D-9341: I can go in, right doc? Dr. Trout: Correct. Please enter the doorway. D-9341 complies, entering the doorway and proceeding through. Upon entry, D-9341 appears in what appears to be a standard D-Class holding cell. Subject begins to look around as if confused. D-9341: I’m back in my cell… ? D-9341 turns around to observe a figure dressed in a Class-D jumpsuit laying on a cot (presumably D-9341). After ten seconds two figures dressed in Site-29 security are observed standing in the hallway. One of which begins dialogue with the D-Class figure. ”Hey, we’ve got some work for you. Do me a favor and step out of your cell.” D-9341: What… ? The D-Class figure stands and approaches SCP-5152-F1. ”Follow me.” The D-Class figure is escorted through the hallway of D-Class Cell Block 37-B and through several doorways until entering what is assumed to be the Heavy Containment Zone of Site-29. The figure is instructed by SCP-5152-F1 to enter testing chamber 1-A of the Heavy Containment Zone. D-9341: Uh… doc? What is this? Dr. Trout: Continue observation. D-9341 observes the scene as instructed, following the D-Class figure into the testing chamber. Upon entry, video equipment captures what appears to be a singular syringe of SCP-008 along with a single instance of SCP-500. A figure enters the testing chamber equipped with Class V CBRN6 safety equipment. Command immediately instructs Dr. Trout to terminate testing. Dr. Trout: D-9341, remove SCP-5152 immediately and prepare for debriefing. D-9341 does not respond as the new figure injects the D-Class figure with SCP-008. The D-Class figure appears to wince as the needle punctures its skin, and D-9341 steps back. D-9341: What the hell…? Dr. Trout: D-9341, remove SCP-5152 immediately or you will be terminated upon exit of SCP-5152. The figure appears to rapidly progress through the symptoms of SCP-008 at an abnormal pace, reaching coma onset approximately ten minutes after injection. D-9341: What the fuck? What is he doing to me? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO ME? Dr. Trout: Subject is unresponsive to commands. D-9341 is authorized for termination. [DATA EXPUNGED] Subject D-9341 returns to testing chamber 46-C and is immediately terminated by security staff. All personnel involved in the experiment were selectively amnestisized following debriefing and psychiatric evaluation. Involved research staff were reassigned, and new researchers implemented. Proposition to update SCP-5152’s containment class to euclid is currently pending approval. <END LOG> Notes: By unanimous vote of the O5 council, under no circumstances are any personnel that have undergone amnestic treatment to be allowed direct contact with SCP-5152. -O5-██ Footnotes 1. Attempts to analyze samples while remaining within SCP-5152 are currently ongoing. 2. It is currently unknown how SCP-5152 attains the memories of subjects. Testing is ongoing. 3.

More by me: TheMightyMcB's Author Page This article was written for the 2020 Exquisite Corpse Competition! Special thanks to: Mew-ltiverse DrAkimoto rattles Rounderhouse MalyceGraves plaidypus Cerastes cybersqyd Doctor Fullham KaraKatt + Image Attribution - Image Attribution https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Voodoo-dolls.JPG Released under CC-BY-SA 3.0 All changes to the conprocs and image have been approved by ProcyonLotor and A Random Day. 2/5154 LEVEL 2/5154 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-5154 Euclid SCP-5154 at the location of discovery. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5154 is to be stored in a Class-F Anomalous Item Locker at Site-93. Personnel are not to engage in conversation with SCP-5154 without approval from the SCP-5154 Project Lead (presently Dr. Ahmad Punjari). Given its manipulative tendencies, all communications with SCP-5154 are to be closely monitored and reviewed. Description: SCP-5154 refers to a gestalt collection of handmade dolls constructed of cotton, polyester, and various plastics. The dolls that comprise SCP-5154 are attached at the wrists with cotton thread and are incapable of independent movement, however, the object is capable of speech through an unknown mechanism. SCP-5154 will attempt to engage passers-by in conversation, invariably seeking to establish a contractual relationship of some kind, typically offering freedom to D-Class personnel in exchange for various herbs, animal carcasses, incenses, and minerals. To date, SCP-5154 has requested sage, salt, a spider, an amethyst, myrrh, a cervid skull, and unscented candles from various D-Class personnel. SCP-5154 presents multiple distinct personalities, each conducting themselves in a manner conducive to the establishment of a seemingly mutualistic verbal agreement. The nature of these agreements is highly variable, but none have been successfully carried out prior to the events of Addendum 5154.1. SCP-5154 was discovered in an abandoned and severely dilapidated bungalow in LoI-504 ("La Rue Macabre"), three miles east of the settlement proper. Undercover Foundation agents operating in La Rue Macabre were investigating rumors of the disappearance of Adélaïde Hecaud, an elderly resident who had not been seen in town for approximately three months. The corpse of Mrs. Hecaud was found in her bed, having died of acute myocardial infarction approximately nine weeks earlier. SCP-5154 was found in the basement of the residence on top of an end table, surrounded by black gunpowder and 4 bottles of home-brewed dark rum. The Foundation was contacted after the object attempted to converse with the agents. Addendum 5154.1: Incident Log Preliminary testing via indirect communication has demonstrated that SCP-5154 is incapable of fulfilling any requests made of them by D-Class personnel, as the object possesses no means by which to manipulate its surroundings or utilize the solicited payment. Direct interactive testing was to be carried out under the supervision of the SCP-5154 Project Lead Dr. Ahmad Punjari. Purpose: To establish the abilities of SCP-5154 to negotiate, enter, and execute a verbal contract via direct interaction. Date and Time: 02 February 2009, 1803 EST Subjects: Dr. Ahmad Punjari, D-3415, SCP-5154, SCP-5154, SCP-5154 [BEGIN LOG] [D-3415 is ushered into the containment chamber, and the item locker containing SCP-5154 is disarmed.] Dr. Punjari: D-3415, please approach the containment locker and open the door. [D-3415 approaches the containment locker and opens the door to reveal SCP-5154.] SCP-5154: What do we have here, brothers? SCP-5154: A friend perhaps? D-3415: Oh fuck, y'all can talk. Okay. SCP-5154: So young! So supple! Delicious! SCP-5154: Good evening, friend. Please, sit. We have much to discuss. Dr. Punjari: D-3415, please engage SCP-5154 in conversation. [D-3415 takes a seat across from the containment locker containing SCP-5154 and takes a deep breath.] SCP-5154: Your eyes are quite enchanting. What is your name, delicate one? D-3415: Chris, but uh, the folks here call me "D-3415". SCP-5154: How cruel of them. How… dehumanizing. [There is a 7-second pause. D-3415 shifts in his chair.] SCP-5154: You smell of honeysuckle and musk. Quite ravenous! D-3415: I would prefer if you didn't comment on how I smell, thanks. SCP-5154: Silence, Calisto. SCP-5154: Yes, you're making the poor thing uncomfortable. SCP-5154: Apologies. It is not often that we may imbibe in the pleasures of flesh, you must understand. SCP-5154: So Chris, let us get down to business, yes? D-3415: So what's the deal then? What business are we supposed to be doing? SCP-5154: Why, whatever you most desire! SCP-5154: It appears quite apparent to us that you are unhappy here. SCP-5154: Yes. Quite unhappy indeed. SCP-5154: We can help you. We can save you. D-3415: Who said I'm unhappy here? I get three square and a roof over my head. Beats busting my ass with side hustles and living in shelters. SCP-5154: Is there truly nothing you miss? The wind in your hair? The warm embrace of a woman? SCP-5154: A cold glass of beer? The sunset over the Gulf? SCP-5154: Let us break your chains. We can provide all of these pleasures to you. You have but to ask to be set free. [D-3415 glances upwards at the observation panel of the containment chamber.] Dr. Punjari: You may proceed, D-3415. D-3415: All right, what's the catch? You must want something from me. SCP-5154: We want many things, and none. What we ask of you is simple. SCP-5154: Pray. D-3415: You… want me to pray? In exchange for freedom? SCP-5154: Pray not to false idols. Not to the God of Abraham, nor the great Devourer. Worship not the Broken God, no pretenders before us. D-3415: Then who am I supposed to be praying to? [In unison] SCP-5154, SCP-5154, SCP-5154: Kalfu. SCP-5154: Repeat after us, o curious one. [In unison] SCP-5154, SCP-5154, SCP-5154: [DATA EXPUNGED] Dr. Punjari: Stop the test!

When the feed returns, D-3415 is no longer present in the containment chamber, and SCP-5154 displays the addition of a fourth doll, colored blue.] Dr. Punjari: Lock it down, lock it all down! [Klaxons begin to sound.] SCP-5154: Wha- What the fuck? What happened to me? [In unison] SCP-5154, SCP-5154, SCP-5154: Welcome, brother. As of 02 February 2009, SCP-5154 testing has been suspended indefinitely. Addendum 5154.2: Letter Sent by PoI-504-L ("Papa Legba"). The following letter was found on the desk of Dr. Punjari the day after the events of Addendum 5154.1. La Rue Macabre Dr. Ahmad Punjari, It's come to my attention that you boys've stumbled on quite the treat. As I'm sure you've already figured out, those ain't just any old voodoo dolls. They're property of my old friend, Kalfu. Old lady Adélaïde'd been keeping him cooped up all these years now, keeping him stocked up on powder n' rum. Surprised y'all didn't figure it out right then and there, but I guess y'all don't know your voodoo like ya should, eh? But now she's gone and you lot done scooped up some of the cleverest spirits this side of the Mississip'. Since y'all don't seem to know who you're messin' with, lemme educate ya. Kalfu is Bealsey-Bub, the Ol' Boy himself. He's bad luck, disorder, chaos. He's more clever than you, he's quicker than you, he'll swipe your soul with a grin a mile wide. A meetin' on his crossroads ain't likely to end well for y'all, don't matter how clever you fix yourself to be. Let me be crystal clear with you fellas — Kalfu ain't the type to be triflin' with. Adélaïde and I locked him up years ago, but now he's got a new soul to play with since you Foundation folk can't keep your noses outta places you shouldn't be sniffin'. My advice? Lock up them dolls and throw away the key. Ain't no good gonna be comin' from 'em. Leave this ol' ghost to La Rue. Me 'n the spooks'll sort 'em out.

SCP-5155 | euclid | PeppersGhost SCP-5155 - Oh Deer by PeppersGhost More by this author 2/5155 LEVEL 2/5155 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-5155 SCP-5155. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5155 is to be kept and cared for in the Site-5155 nature reserve. Foundation webcrawler Kappa-82 ("GILMER GIRL") is programmed to automatically expunge any public records of unusual activity instigated by SCP-5155. Description: SCP-5155 refers to an anomaly characterized by the displaced extraphysical essence of the Gilmer family, their suburban Nevada home, and an apparently unrelated 8.6 tonnes of fresh zucchini. All displaced elements still retain the extraphysical essential qualities that they possessed at the time of displacement on May 15th, 1955; however, since displacement, all displaced elements now physically interface with reality (Baseline) as a herd of twenty-two mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). The nature of this interface exists in a conceptually fluid state between literal and figurative, and consequently it is difficult to predict when and how SCP-5155 may stray from Baseline. The Gilmer family consists of parents Rhonda (age 29) and Edward (age 33), children Suzie (age 6) and Brisbane (age 10), and their pet border collie Sassafras (age unknown). As of 03/13/2020, Brisbane is the only member of the family who has indicated full cognizance of the family's displacement and the passage of time; however, all family members recognize the presence of an irregular amount of zucchini. Attempts to interact with the family have been unsuccessful and occasionally traumatic. Each family member's personality has grown less stable over time, albeit to varying degrees. The twenty-two mule deer through which SCP-5155 physically interacts with Baseline possess no apparent bodily autonomy; however, neuroimaging suggests that the animals still retain their original extraphysical essences (overlapped with those of SCP-5155) and the ability to feel pain. Despite decades of effort, no method has been found to humanely terminate the animals without endangering the Gilmer family. Observation Log: Foreword: Transcript of footage recorded March 13th, 2020, 12:32 pm. [BEGIN LOG] (Deer 16 lies on its back with limbs overextended beyond the normal range of motion for its species.) Brisbane: God. God. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Come from heaven. Come from heaven. Jesus. Jesus. (Deer 21 throws itself against Deer 09's head, causing Deer 09 to revolve seventy degrees in the opposite direction on an axis parallel to the ground and slightly behind its buttocks.) Rhonda: Brizzie, dearest, would you kindly keep your voice down? Mother is trying to prepare supper. (Deer 16's limbs overextend further. A snapping sound is heard.) Brisbane: It's lunchtime. I'm trying to resurrect god. How can you hear me from the kitchen if my room is upstairs? (Deer 21 abruptly sinks into the ground, disappearing from view. The tip of an ear extrudes from Deer 16's belly moments later.) Rhonda: Brisbane Eurydice Gilmer, I really don't appreciate your disrespectful attitude. It's hard enough to prepare a hot meal with all these goddamn cucumbers everywhere! (Deer 07 and Deer 19 launch upward and out of view.) Rhonda: Chrysler Imperial! There they go again. (Deer 09 spins another eighty degrees on its aforementioned axis. The head of Deer 21 fully extrudes from the belly of Deer 16. The fur on both animals grows wet with blood along the edges where their bodies intersect.) Rhonda: You're on cucumber duty. I need my elbow room. (Sassafras is heard barking in the distance.) Rhonda: They're coming back. Don't make me hurt you. (Deer 21 and Deer 19 both sink in the ground. Deer 04 and Deer 15 emerge from the tree line, their movements perfectly synchronized. Deer 15 is suspend directly above Deer 04, its hooves falling at the level of Deer 04's ears.) Suzie: Which one are you? Edward: I'm whichever one is closest. Roar! (Suzie's laughter can be heard.) Suzie: And which one am I? Edward: You're the cutest cuke I'll ever regret. (Deer 04 and Deer 14 rise from the ground and drift away weightlessly as if carried off by a breeze, tumbling slightly but remaining in parallel. Their stride and Deer 15's physical displacement along its vertical axis remain unaffected by this development.) Brisbane: God. Jesus. God. (Deer 01's face emerges from the tree canopy, approximately 4.6 meters tall.) Edward: How's my little theologian, then? (Brisbane screams. A figure presumed to be Deer 22 travels across the sky six times in rapid succession, always in same direction.) Edward: Pop quiz. When humans die, they go to heaven or hell. (Deer 01's mouth opens. Deers 16, 09, and 03 slowly rise from its mouth. Sassafras can be heard whimpering in the distance.) Edward: Where does God go when he dies? (Brisbane screams. Deers 16, 09, and 03 are engulfed in fire.) Rhonda: Dinner's ready, dear. [END LOG] |
SCP-5156 | safe | Wherein the work of many primates is revealed. Calibold SCP-5156 — monke Calibold's Mega Cool Author Page Doorway to SCP-5156. Most pictured furnishings are the result of its containment by Foundation personnel, and were not present upon initial discovery. Item #: SCP-5156 Special Containment Procedures: The house in which SCP-5156 is located has been converted into Provisional Site-289, under the guise of government protection of a historical building. Civilians are permitted to observe and photograph SCP-5156 under this pretense. Description: SCP-5156 is a pocket universe accessible via a doorway located in the basement of an abandoned house in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. The doorway is inlaid into the wall, and geological analysis confirms that the space behind the doorway is completely filled by earth. The area accessed by this doorway is a 400-meter cubic space bordered by walls, a ceiling, and floor all made of the same brick material. These bricks have been anomalously altered or are of anomalous origin, and cannot be destroyed by any known methods. SCP-5156 is populated by exactly 10,000 identical rhesus macaque monkeys,1 collectively designated SCP-5156-1. All of them are biologically immortal, and do not require any other form of nourishment. Each instance of SCP-5156-1 is seated at a desk with a typewriter, and will constantly strike random keys. The only case where these instances will move from their seats is if a human or other entity attempts to harm or remove an SCP-5156-1 instance, in which case all instances will immediately attack the individual with deadly force. Otherwise, all instances remain passive, and have no regard for humans or any other living creatures. The typewriters used by each SCP-5156-1 instance are able to access an infinite supply of ink, and whenever a typewriter's page is finished, it will be set aside by its respective SCP-5156-1 instance and a new page will manifest in the typewriter. These pages will disappear a few moments after being removed. While most pages contain complete nonsense, occasionally an SCP-5156-1 instance will type out a cohesive word or set of words. Since containment of SCP-5156 has been established, one page has been created which is entirely understandable,2 written in Italian. Upon the creation of the aforementioned page, it manifested in a wooden basket in the center of SCP-5156, on top of two other pages, each of which contains similarly cohesive content. Transcripts of these pages are available upon request. Addendum 5156.1 (Discovery): The basement in which the doorway to SCP-5156 is located was formerly barred off and hidden, and was only recently discovered by a small group of historians researching the home. They initially intended on publishing their findings, but were discovered by Foundation personnel before they could do so. Members of the team were administered Class C amnestics, and were left with the memories and data of only the non-anomalous portions of the house, to satiate any curiosity or suspicion regarding their investigation plans. The house itself was placed under Foundation supervision and SCP-5156 was contained. Investigation of the house revealed very little information about its previous owners, save for a single letter found inside one of the bedrooms. Mine own lief friend, if I overcome my fear and send this message, I know we've conversed much about our futures, and what we are capable of accomplishing. Whilst I've the utmost faith in thy talent and ability, I at each moment lack'd thy creativity. However, recently I've found something which hath changed that completely. I've come across a grand design, and within I've discovered many pages of curious origin, which I intend on publishing anon. I know not how long this grand design hath been functioning, but rest assur'd it hath been long enow to issue forth a multitude of work and concepts, which I intend upon releasing as mine own work. I dare not specify any further, f'r fear of discovery, but this is a discovery grac'd by God. I give you all the most wondrous, mine own lief cousin, and pray this brings fortune on my house. — Your bosom companion, William Shakespeare Footnotes 1. Scientific name: Macaca mulatta. 2.

SCP-5157 | apollyon | NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION The documentation regarding SCP-5157 has developed significantly and the security clearance required to view the file has been upgraded. The original documentation is preserved below for posterity and access by lower-level personnel. Item #: SCP-5157 Special Containment Procedures: A research team led by Dr. Levitt will maintain observation of SCP-5157 from Site 51, and pursue development of technologies capable of observing SCP-5157 with greater fidelity. Any development in SCP-5157’s behavior should result in notification of the site director, as SCP-5157’s conceptual fortitude is weak enough to threaten a CK-class Reality Restructuring Scenario. Foundation contacts will be positioned at all civilian astronomical observation sites technologically capable of detecting SCP-5157 to deter such an event. Description: SCP-5157 is the designation for an anomalous area of the sky positioned near Xi Piscium1 possessing a remarkably low conceptual fortitude. SCP-5157 is of small enough celestial area as to make measurement inconvenient. Current estimates describe SCP-5157 as vaguely oblong, approximately 500km in length, 11.6ly from earth, and possessing a conceptual fortitude of -326.8 Humes.2 Little beyond this is known about SCP-5157 at this time. SCP-5157 was discovered on ██/███/1981 when it emitted a Level Cyan reality-destabilizing pulse, temporarily decreasing the ambient Hume levels of multiple Foundation sites to 0.98 Humes, disrupting the calibration of the containment system of SCP-████. SCP-5157 was not catalogued as an item until its conceptual fortitude was recorded as part of routine Site 51 observations on ██/███/1997, at which point it was upgraded to its current containment procedures. + Additional File / ██/███/2006 / Level 2 Clearance Required: - Close File Addendum SCP.5157.1 - First Imagery of SCP-5157 Site 51 Internal Memo From: Dr. Elizabeth Levitt To: Site Director Hayward Greetings, As you’re likely aware, the Celestial Conceptual Fortitude Array (CCFA) my team and I have been working on has reached functionality and begun surveillance of SCP-5157. The CCFA operates with enough precision that we’re finally able to discern the shape of SCP-5157 beyond a blur. The initial imagery we’ve received is concerning, to say the least. (See attached image.) SCP-5157’s documentation has been updated to reflect the new findings (also attached), and I’d like to request additional funding and staffing priority for the SCP-5157 project. Sincerely, Dr. Elizabeth Levitt SCP-5157-A (left) and SCP-5157-B (right). Revised Description: SCP-5157 is the collective designation for two entities (SCP-5157-A and SCP-5157-B) residing in nearby space, approximately 11.6ly from earth, and possessing a remarkably low conceptual fortitude (-483.7 Humes). The conceptual fortitude of the entities and the area surrounding them has decreased significantly since original discovery, and is projected to continue dropping as time passes. SCP-5157’s conceptual fortitude, if it continues dropping at its current rate, will cause a CK-class Reality Restructuring Scenario by the year 207█. SCP-5157-A is approximately 200km long, and is shaped like a masculine humanoid upper body with four arms. SCP-5157-B is 130km long, and is shaped like a feminine humanoid with skeletal wings in place of arms. The two entities are connected by a thin tether 10km in diameter, and slowly orbit each other. The heads of the entities occasionally produce what are theorized to be transmissions, oscillating electromagnetic emissions consisting of all frequencies of light. Unfortunately, due to the constant movement of the entities, the relatively small size of their heads, and the low refresh rate of measuring equipment, accurate recording of these potential transmissions is infeasible at this time. + Additional File / ██/███/2007 / Level 3 Clearance Required: - Close File Addendum SCP.5157.2 - Incident Report 5157.██07 On ██/███/2007, the conceptual fortitude of SCP-5157 decreased rapidly over the course of 13 minutes, descending to -783.9 Humes. The diffusion of lower Hume levels into the surrounding space constituted a Level Violet reality-destabilising pulse. The ambient Hume levels of Foundation sites dropped to 0.87 Humes, returning to their original levels after approximately two weeks. This event coincided with multiple international containment breaches, including but not limited to SCP-3160, SCP-3166, and SCP-4205. Dr. Levitt was killed in the breach. Her responsibilities regarding SCP-5157 have been assumed by Senior Researcher Munro. The conceptual fortitude of SCP-5157 has not returned to its value preceding the incident, and has continued decreasing at its previous rate. As such, the projected CK-class Reality Restructuring Scenario is now estimated to occur by 205█. + Additional File / ██/███/2009 / Level 3 Clearance Required: - Close File Addendum SCP.5157.3 - Transmissions File 5157.AU.01 Summary: The first log recorded and analyzed, confirming the sentience of SCP-5157-A and SCP-5157-B. SCP-5157-A mentions an “ascension”, theorized to be the CK-class Reality Restructuring event the anomaly poses, given its description as transcendent beyond reality. SCP-5157-A: My love, your beauty is yet beyond compare, your existence a pure release of true ecstasy and transcendence. SCP-5157-B: [emits a noise described by D-724381 as “It’s… laughing, I think? Oh, god, it’s so beautiful, it burns.”] A: My love for you grows infinite, and I know those that wish to keep us apart will never succeed. We shall never be apart. And yet, my love, this is not all that can be. B: No? A: Nay, for there are taller mountains to scale, and higher peaks to reach. You, my Psyche, are yet to ascend with me, and exist pure, central, the focus of reality, matter and mind. B: My darling Eros, you know I have not the strength for ascension. As much as I may wish to join you in that form of dreams beyond reality, I cannot. A: Cannot yet. Take my hand, let me guide you. The road may be long, and travels hard, but together we can brave all barriers, limited in power as you yet may be. I refuse to leave you behind, my exultant beauty, so we shall undertake this journey together. B: Then let us never be apart, my love. Success or failure, we shall never be separate. This is my oath to you, my decree of everlasting love. File 5157.AU.27 Summary: This recording is notable, as it contains the first reference to the tether than connects the entities, not clearly visible in the photography collected by the CCFA. Following this recording, the tether was identified in said photography. SCP-5157-A: With this tie, we become one. Connected to our hearts, this cosmic tether shall ensure that never we are apart. SCP-5157-B: Do you feel that? Our hearts beat as one. Each pulse makes the galaxies a little more our own. A: Our union brings us closer to your ascension. The energy around us will slowly become us, my love, until our combined strength is enough to take us to that form beyond forms. B: Not now, perhaps not even soon, however. I doubt my vitality, even combined with your own, is yet even a fragment of what must be consumed to empower our ascension. A: My love, you mustn’t talk about yourself that way. If anything, it is I who is weighing you down. B: Perhaps we are neither weighing each other down, then. Together, as one, in unity. This bond makes us not two separate entities, but not one, either. Our love binds us into a conglomerate, a unit to ascend together. A: Indeed. And with you and I now together, anything is possible. B: But only as long as our love binds us. A: You should not doubt my devotion to you, my love. We shall never be apart, now. B: And that is all I could wish for. File 5157.AU.83 SCP-5157-A: You look resplendent, my love. SCP-5157-B: Is that all? A: Of course not, my dear. But it takes time to think of new ways to describe your beauty without sounding as a false, pompous mortal trying to describe the sky they’ve seen for the first time to those who have only ever seen shadows on a cave wall. B: I do not mind, darling Eros. Perhaps I want to hear those words, because their coming from you makes them all the more sweet, for I know their honesty and truth. No melodies can compare, too alluring is hearing it whisper in my ear. I wish nothing more than to lay with you for all eternity, whether ascended or otherwise, because being with you is all I wish for in this existence or those beyond. A: That your lips do not spill charming lies, but I can see in your eyes you believe every word you say. And you call me more alluring than any melody, where you can weave prose that puts the beauty of the cosmos to shame, not even to speak of your beauty itself, speckled with stars that will one day create new life, new worlds. B: You flatter so. Do not speak as if your beauty, your form of infinite fantasy incomprehensibly choosing to orbit my own, is not infinitely superior in its allure to anything else this universe could offer. We shall guide each other down this road we’ve chosen, of love and ascension. I shall never let you go. A: And I, you. B: Together, we will find our way. A: Together, indeed. + Current Documentation of SCP-5157 / Level 4 Clearance Required: - Close File Item#: 5157 Level4 Containment Class: esoteric Secondary Class: apollyon Disruption Class: amida Risk Class: warning link to memo Special Containment Procedures: A research team led by Dr. Munro will maintain observation of SCP-5157 from Site 51, utilizing the Celestial Conceptual Fortitude Array (CCFA) to make measurements of the anomaly. Any development in SCP-5157’s behavior should result in notification of the site director. Foundation contacts will be positioned at all civilian astronomical observation sites technologically capable of detecting SCP-5157 to deter such an event. The oscillating electromagnetic radiation emitted from the heads of SCP-5157-A and SCP-5157-B is to be recorded and transcribed in as close to real time as possible. In the event that the entities indicate that they are soon to lower their Hume levels and emit a reality-destabilizing pulse3, all high-risk items in the possession of the Foundation are to be locked down worldwide. Description: SCP-5157 is the designation of an area of nearby outer space, approximately 11.6ly from earth, that possesses a remarkably low conceptual fortitude (-1098.3 Humes). The conceptual fortitude of SCP-5157 has decreased significantly since original discovery, and is projected to continue dropping as time passes. SCP-5157’s conceptual fortitude, if it continues dropping at its current rate, will cause a CK-class Reality Restructuring Scenario by the year 203█. Within SCP-5157 reside two entities of unknown composition, SCP-5157-A and SCP-5157-B. SCP-5157-A is approximately 200km long, and is shaped like a masculine humanoid upper body with four arms. SCP-5157-B is 130km long, and is shaped like a feminine humanoid with skeletal wings in place of arms. The two entities are connected by a thin tether, 10km in diameter, and slowly orbit each other. The heads of the entities consistently produce electromagnetic radiation of oscillating amplitude and of all frequencies. These signals, when treated as oscillations in air pressure and played through speakers as such, manifest within the listener’s mind as a coherent conversation, apparently between the two entities. These conversations are of remarkable lexical complexity, and, while they may continue for days or months at a time, cover a very limited range of topics: Discussion of the “ascension” of SCP-5157-B, aided by SCP-5157-A. This “ascension” is theorized to be the inevitable CK-class Reality Restructuring Scenario posed by SCP-5157. Discussion of “others” that stand against the union of the entities. The identity of these “others” is unknown. The old gods stand steadfast against change. Poetic expression of their love for one another. Since its discovery, SCP-5157 has emitted seven reality-destabilizing pulses, the most recent five of which have resulted in multiple worldwide containment breaches. There is no apparent method by which these effects can be mitigated. There is no available method by which the entities may be communicated with. There is no way to contain SCP-5157. They cannot tear us apart, my love. I will not let them. Footnotes 1. SCP-5157 is offset from Xi Piscium by a declination of approximately +0°17′43″ and a negligible right ascension. 2. A measure of conceptual fortitude, describing how resistant to anomalous warping reality is in a specific region. The baseline (non-anomalous) conceptual fortitude is 1 Hume. 3. Typically described by the entities as a“step closer to ascension”, a “sharing of power” or “making this world ours”. |
SCP-5158 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5158 Level 3/5158 Classified The Ohmuno Oil Rig prior to SCP-5158's discovery. Special Containment Procedures: A ten kilometer exclusion zone is to be created around the location of the Ohmuno Oil Rig. Type NSKA fungicide is to be sprayed bi-weekly as well to prevent the spread of SCP-5158 to further lifeforms. Only Level 3+ personnel are allowed access to 5158; despite this, no personnel are allowed onto the Ohmuno without department-standard metal-plated hazmat suits. All personnel that come in direct contact with 5158 are to be scanned and tested for 5158-A instances. If they are not present, an isolated thirty-day monitoring period for any symptoms will occur. Should any symptoms arise or new spores become found, the area should be quarantined and sprayed, and the personnel should be incinerated immediately. Description: SCP-5158 is a parasitic quasi-fungal biological organism found in the Pacific Ocean. All current 5158 instances are localized to the abandoned Ohmuno Oil Rig and the wreck of the MV Nerva. 5158 instances appear to grow towards either the nearest food source or another 5158 instance. SCP-5158 appears similar to a thick moss, covered in vines, tendrils, large leaves, and arthropod-like legs. However, SCP-5158 outwardly prefers to use the legs to attack potential prey instead of for mobility. Any animals that 5158 consider as prey will be entwined by the tendrils and then impaled by 5158's legs until the prey is killed. SCP-5158 ingests its prey by use of a highly-acidic compound produced by it; however, it has little effect on bone. It is also theorized that SCP-5158 is primarily sustained by amounts of energy derived from light, though this has yet to be confirmed. A seedpod 5158-A instance. Approximately every thirty-six to fourty-eight hours, SCP-5158 widely disseminates both spores and seedpods. The reproduction timescale accelerates if 5158 has access to fresh meat. These spores/seedpods are designated SCP-5158-A. If a 5158-A instance is inhaled or digested by an animal, the instance will feed on the host's internal organs until the host ceases all bodily functions: it will then germinate to create an SCP-5158 instance from the host's corpse. 5158-A seedpods are relatively harmless if they do not contact flesh; however, 5158-A spores exhibit the same behavior with any living organisms. All 5158-A instances are more effective at reproduction in aquatic settings. SCP-5158 appears to have a limited amount of sentience. Its origin cannot be determined. Item History: SCP-5158 was discovered on August 17th, 2005, after all communication from the Ohmuno Oil Rig ceased for several days. Several explosions and a flare were spotted around the area a week prior, but its source was unknown until it was confirmed during the discovery of 5158 that both came from the Ohmuno. The US Coast Guard were dispatched to investigate and were the first discoverers of the anomaly. At this time, the 5158 had not completely covered the platform of the Ohmuno. The Coast Guard then notified the Foundation; by the time a team mobilized and arrived, it was the 18th. The anomaly had completely covered the platform of the Ohmuno; a Coast Guard detachment had investigated the rig and was subsequently killed and digested. Approximately 1.4km away from the Ohmuno, the Coast Guard also discovered the RV Sondheim, a deep-sea submersible, floating adrift and with deep gashes in its side. The Sondheim had been assigned to the Ohmuno to assist with problems found with the oil rig at the sea floor. The crew of the Sondheim are as follows: Harimao executive Jeanne-Marie Kushana Sondheim pilot Cadie Darcy Deep-diver Asbell Thero Radio/comms operator Patrick Aldermann Mechanical engineer Korvey Pejeet Although the crew were recovered uninfected, they were all permanently blinded by an unknown force. According to logs found on the Ohmuno, the Sondheim was sent to check an underwater blockage that had stalled the rig for several days. Footage from the Sondheim's exploration was recovered as well. The wreck of the MV Nerva was also confirmed to be located under the Ohmuno Oil Rig. The USCGC Midgett intercepting the Sondheim. Addendum 01: Recovered Data « Preliminary Information - MV NERVA » » Preliminary Information - MV NERVA « Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Lost Vehicles, Vol. 440: The Nerva, circa 1982. MV NERVA - B-30 reefer ship, christened in 1980. Owned by Harimao Corporation. Stores a retractable underwater cargo compartment; methods of egress include lifeboats and ten secure launch pods. Created for cold storage of biologial items. CONDITION: The ship was declared lost and assumed wrecked March 1991 after it failed to arrive at port during a trans-pacific voyage from San Francisco, USA to Wenzhou, China. Harimao Corp. attempted a search and recovery operation that turned up negative. All goods on the ship were considered lost and free for salvagers; however, any salvagers that recovered certain goods owned by Harimao were prompted to turn them back into the company for triple the salvage price. « RV Sondheim Log » » RV Sondheim Log « SONDHEIM AUTO-GENERATED LOG TCKR - 08102005C5R12T22:41.03L99:99.99 │ RV SONDHEIM │ Harimao Corp. CREW: [ALDMN] [DARCY] [KSHNA] [PJEET] [THERO] ─── ► RECORDING STARTED ◄ ─── [ALDMN] Radio and logs are up and running, Mrs. Kushana. [KSHNA] Good. We have no time to lose. [DARCY] Dive successful; headed down at a speed of 10 knots. [PJEET] Hull pressure's looking pretty optimal. [DARCY] Can I ask a question, ma'am? Why'd we have to take on this dive so soon? The sun's gone, which is going to make Thero's job harder. We could've waited until morning. [KSHNA] The stop has already put us back considerably. Other rigs are still running; this is the most densely packed area in the Pacific for oil. [KSHNA] I also feel that… that this will be important to take care of now rather than later. [DARCY] I see, ma'am. ⌐⸻ ⌠ 𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 ⌡ [DARCY] How are things going in compartment two, Pejeet? [PJEET] Okay so far. Thero's getting suited up. ⌠distant⌡ Thero, you want to say anything to Darcy? [THERO] Anything new? [DARCY] Not particularly, no. We're almost there, so you should get to suiting up. [THERO] Already on it. [DARCY] That's Thero for you. ⌐⸻ ⌠ 𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 ⌡ [DARCY] We're at-depth now - the blockage leak should be somewhere around here. [KSHNA] I'm not seeing anything quite yet. [DARCY] Thero, you out yet? ⌐⸻ ⌠ 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚌 ⌡ [DARCY] Thero? [ALDMN] Be patient, I haven't got his suit comms up and running yet. Give me a minute. [ALDMN] Thero? [THERO] Good to hear you, Sondheim. [DARCY] You out there, Thero? [THERO] I'm approaching the pipes right now. [PJEET] Tell him to turn on his helmet's camera. I can't see anything on the monitor. [THERO] Right sorry. [KSHNA] What's that off to your left? Look, it seems like it's running into the pipe there. [THERO] You're right, ma'am, there's some sort of suction coming from this area. [THERO] Seems to be a piece of metal stuck there. [PJEET] Darcy. Something's not right here. [DARCY] What's wrong? [KSHNA] Wipe off that piece of metal. [PJEET] The sensors aren't lining up to their usual metrics, in fact, we're pretty off. I don't think we're near the rig's connection drill part at all. [DARCY] Ma'am, we might be at th- [KSHNA] Quiet. [THERO] Looks like… part of a shipping container. It's- is that- ? The container has the Harimao logo on it. [KSHNA] Is there a lot number on it? [THERO] Zero-two-nine-zero-L-three-three-one. [KSHNA] Impossible. [DARCY] What is? [KSHNA] Nerva. It's the Nerva. [DARCY] Ma'am, I understand that Harimao's been looking- [KSHNA] That's all, Thero. [DARCY] -he Nerva, but that's not our business. We're not salvagers. We don't work for Harimao. [ALDMN] Reeling Thero in now. [KSHNA] On the contrary; if you work on the Ohmuno, you most definitely work for Harimao. [THERO] Hey, what figures? I was barely out there. Hell, I didn't even see the main pipeline. [DARCY] Can it for now, Thero. [KSHNA] Thero, get Pejeet for me. [PJEET] You called? [KSHNA] Mark a navbuoy at this location and send it back up to the Ohmuno. [PJEET] I'll let Aldermann know. [DARCY] Since you're our new captain then, ma'am, where we going to next? [KSHNA] Go straight in this direction. About there, yes. [ALDMN] Sent the packet off to the Ohmuno, anything else? [PJEET] That'll be good. Headed at bearing 279 at… approximately five-or-so knots, Darcy? [DARCY] Sounds about right. [DARCY] Oh, Pejeet, while you're at it? [PJEET] Yeah? [DARCY] Reroute power from the spot-welder laser to the manual floodlight. [KSHNA] I'd keep that powered if I were you. [PJEET] Got it. You want Thero to put in the helmetcam? [DARCY] Eh, let Aldermann take care of that. [ALDMN] I'll tell Thero. Kushana's asking Pejeet now to input some numbers so he'll probably be busy. [DARCY] Dammit. [DARCY] ⌠distant⌡ What a bitch. [KSHNA] You're still on intercoms. [DARCY] …Oh. [ALDMN] Pejeet, I've got to talk to you. [PJEET] What's going on? [THERO] It's Thero. I think you might have to recalibrate your depth numbers. I was nearly scraping bottom out there. [PJEET] Really? There should've been ample headspace between the seafloor and the Sondheim. It wouldn't make sense- [THERO] Unless we were on something. [PJEET] Unless we were on something, yes. But what? [KSHNA] The MV Nerva. [THERO] That ship that was lost? [KSHNA] Indeed. ⌠muffled⌡ Hold here, Pejeet. [THERO] Nerva? Why are we going for the Nerva? [THERO] Darcy, did you approve this? [DARCY] Thero- [THERO] Did you? [DARCY] I did, Thero. Lay off of it, alright? [THERO] Okay, bossman. [KSHNA] Pejeet. Keep the calculations the same, but account for the change in floor elevation as well as the projected location chart that I gave you. [PJEET] It should be coming up soon on your left then. [DARCY] What is it? [PJEET] I don't know, it's just a marker on a map for me. [KSHNA] Lot 542. What we're looking for. What Harimao's been trying to recover for… years now. Hopefully it's not too late. [DARCY] That's not what I meant. [KSHNA] You'll see. [PJEET] Darcy, you're coming up on it. Almost directly in front of you. [DARCY] I- I can't see much. It's fairly dark at the area. [PJEET] Hold it Darcy- I'm going to turn the computer over to Aldermann for a second. [ALDMN] Keep going straight. [PJEET] Turned up the forward floodlights to full power. [DARCY] I think I'm at the area. There seems to be some sort of… hole, but it's nearly pitch black down there. What does the reading say? [ALDMN] I can't tell; depth readings are off the charts here. [KSHNA] Start lowering the Sondheim. [DARCY] Give me a moment, Aldermann. [DARCY] Are you insane? [KSHNA] On the absolute contrary. I'm taking every single logical action that needs to be taken at the current moment. You must understand. [DARCY] Fine. [DARCY] Pejeet, keep an eye out on that pressure monitor. That thing gets even a microtag into the red, you flag my ass, got it? [PJEET] I understand. [DARCY] Ma'am, frankly, I don't care what you say. If I hear anything from Pejeet, I'm pulling this sub right back up. [KSHNA] So be it. [DARCY] We're descending now. ⌐⸻ ⌠ 𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 ⌡ [ALDMN] Darce. [DARCY] Hm? [ALDMN] Pejeet told me to tell you to keep a good visual on the hole's walls; he's getting fairly inconsistent values from the instruments. [DARCY] Get Thero on manual control for the floodlight, then. [THERO] Full power floodlights coming right up. ⌐⸻ ⌠ 𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 ⌡ [KSHNA] It's- how- [DARCY] What the… [DARCY] Come up to the cabin, guys. You've got to see this. Make sure to lock the floodlight in place. [ALDMN] ..hat in the hell is- woah. [PJEET] That's beautiful! [THERO] This is it? What a lightshow. [PJEET] It looks like the boundless night sky, stars twinkling in droves. [KSHNA] Of course! It's not called the Star of the Ocean for nothing. [DARCY] So this is it? This is what Harimao bankrolled? I can't really tell- are those crystals? [KSHNA] Not just any, as you can see. When those crystals are exposed to a direct light source, the composition of the crystal leads to the light bouncing around somehow, amplifying the refracted light values in lumens tens or hundreds of times. [ALDMN] You could do a lot with that - perpetual energy sources? Some sort of self-recharging solar tech, perhaps. [DARCY] You guys don't get it, do you? [PJEET] Get what? [DARCY] Why do you think we're even here right now? There's a reason why Harimao Corp. - no, Harimao OIL wants this so badly. They're not ju- [KSHNA] That's enough talking here, get back to your positions. [ALDMN] Good luck Darce. [DARCY] I'm gonna fucking need it. [DARCY] Everyone back in place? [PJEET] At instros, yup. Thero's here too. [ALDMN] Comms are alright. [DARCY] Roger. Continuing descent at the previous speed. ⌐⸻ ⌠ 𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 ⌡ [KSHNA] Darcy, if I may? [DARCY] What? [KSHNA] I resent your accusations. Just because Harimao and I share the same methods don't mean we share the same goals. [DARCY] That's not going to change how I feel about this at all, especially not with your self-serving environmental bullshit. You're several years late with it. [KSHNA] That… that is a shame. I'd hoped- [DARCY] Hoped what? I'd understand? That a good reason wipes away whatever you were doing? Get out of the office more. [KSHNA] You're a right asshole, you know that? [DARCY] Glad we could see face-to-face. [KSHNA] Well, I guess you're right. [ALDMN] Pejeet told me to tell you guys to keep a good visual on outside if you guys can. [DARCY] Sure thing. [KSHNA] What's going on over there, in the distance? Seems like those lights are moving. [DARCY] Could be? Don't see why they would, though. [KSHNA] You think so? [PJEET] We still haven't gotten a good reading on the cavern's side; can't really help you out on that one. [KSHNA] What's the consensus? [DARCY] It's probably nothing, given the depth. Water currents make the light dance around like that, y'know ma'am? [KSHNA] Yeah… yeah. ⌐⸻ ⌠ 𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 ⌡ [PJEET] Just a heads-up, the sensors are reading that the bottom of the hole is coming up fast. [DARCY] Send the data my way. I'll start to slow down to accommodate a reasonable buffer. [KSHNA] It's getting brighter down here, isn't it? [DARCY] Definitely. [KSHNA] Thero, can you point the floodlight straight down? [THERO] But won't you two be unable to see anything? [DARCY] Trust her on this one, Thero. [DARCY] That's bright alright. It's almost like looking at the sun compared to how dark it is usually. [KSHNA] We must be on the shipping crate's main cache. [KSHNA] Thero, get suited up. [DARCY] Wait wait wait. Ma'am- [KSHNA] Kushana. [DARCY] Kushana. It's much too dangerous to use the suit this deep. [KSHNA] I understand how you feel, but it is imperative we collect some samples for analysis purposes. We can't simply leave them here after all this. [DARCY] We damn very well can. These may be important to you, but Thero is mo- [THERO] I'm already suited up and ready, Cadie. [DARCY] But Thero- [THERO] Don't worry about it. The quicker we get this done, the quicker we're all enjoying Diego's chili back at base, eh? [DARCY] …Fine. But make it quick, you hear? [THERO] I don't have the quickest hands in the Pacific for nothing. [DARCY] Pfft, dumbass. ⌐⸻ ⌠ 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚌 ⌡ [KSHNA] I'm sorry about that. [DARCY] I just don't have a good feeling about this. [KSHNA] I agree - this pit is awfully inconvenient. Or convenient, depending on who you are. [DARCY] Are we the former or the latter? [KSHNA] We'll see soon enough. [blank] ⌐⸻ ⌠ 𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 ⌡ [DARCY] Goddammit, Thero didn't turn his camera on again. [PJEET] We're too deep for it to work, actually. [DARCY] Fuck. [DARCY] How about you, Aldermann? Anything from Thero? [ALDMN] Patching isn't instant, you know. [DARCY] Right, right, sorry. [THERO] I'm hooked up. [THERO] It really is a lightshow out here. Tons of these crystals as far as the eye can see - on the bottom, anyways. The wall ones are totally out of reach. I could grab these things by the handful and bring them in that way. At least- huh…? [DARCY] What is it? [THERO] Bones, some kind of bones. [DARCY] Are they human? [THERO] I can't tell for sure, but I don't think so. Some poor sea creature turned lunch, I expect. Sure are a lot of them though. [KSHNA] Is there anything else? [THERO] Anything else? Not that I can see, at least. [DARCY] Just grab a couple of the crystals and let's dip. Let's not spend any more time here than we need. [THERO] Sounds great to me. Maybe it's… aaargh! [DARCY] Thero? Thero? [DARCY] Thero, are you there? [ALDMN] I'm not picking him up. He's not connecting. [DARCY] Pejeet, pull him in now! [PJEET] On it. [PJEET] I'm having trouble with the automatic retrieval system. ⌠distant⌡ Aldermann! Help me with the manual reeling! ⌐⸻ ⌠ 𝚜𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 ⌡ [PJEET] He's in. [DARCY] Fuck, stay here Kushana. I'm going to go talk to him.

SCP-5159 | keter | Item #: SCP-5159 Special Containment Procedures: The current holder of SCP-5159, previously known as D-9921, is to be held in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-22. Said holder is to be kept restrained at all times in order to prevent self-harm. Any interrogation with the intent to extract historical intelligence from SCP-5159's current holder must be conducted with medical personnel on standby to ensure the holder's long-term health following the necessary sleep deprivation. Description: SCP-5159 is the personal designation AU BARON AL BARICH which — when properly assigned to an organism — causes said organism to display a consistent set of anomalous properties. These include, but are not limited to: An inability to be referred to with any name other than AU BARON AL BARICH. Attempts to do otherwise will result in severe choking, eventually resulting in unconsciousness if the attempt persists. An increased capacity for bodily regeneration. Although this varies from holder to holder, this has been observed to facilitate the regrowth of entire limbs and sections of the brain on more than one occasion. A passive probabilistic anomaly that protects the holder from the majority of physical threats. Guns fired at the holder of SCP-5159 generally jam, grenades deployed will fail to detonate, and most mechanical means of attack will spontaneously break down upon usage. Spectral manifestations which defend the holder from physical threats when the previously mentioned probabilistic defenses are insufficient. These manifestations take the appearance of tall, vaguely humanoid figures with six legs, six arms and six eyes. These entities will attack the physical threat using medieval-era weaponry such as swords and spears before vanishing upon neutralization of said threat. A form of shared memory, allowing the holder to access the recollections of previous holders of SCP-5159. Although this typically occurs only on a subconscious level, further and more lucid access to these memories is possible when the holder is in a state of impaired consciousness, such as severe inebriation or sleep deprivation. (As the former of these would impair the holder's ability to communicate the information they have access to, it has been determined that interrogation will be conducted using the latter method.) A persistent and compulsive urge to self-terminate. Thus far, the only known means for SCP-5159 to be transferred from one individual to another is for the current holder to voice their intent to grant the name of AU BARON AL BARICH to another specific individual. At this point, all anomalous effects originating from the previous holder will cease and subsequently remanifest surrounding the new host. Attempts to designate other individuals as AU BARON AL BARICH without following this chain of succession has proven to cause no anomalous phenomena. In addition, testing has shown that a range limit of three meters is in effect when transferring SCP-5159 to other individuals other humans. Interview 5159-1 Interviewer: Dr. Goodfellow Interviewed: AU BARON AL BARICH, previously known as D-9921. AU BARON AL BARICH was kept awake for 48 hours and dosed with stimulants to retain verbal lucidity. Subject was then asked to recall their earliest memory. <Begin Log> AU BARON AL BARICH: My earliest memory? Dr. Goodfellow: Yes, that's right. AU BARON AL BARICH: I guess, it's just… it's not so easy to think right now, you know? If I could just rest my eyes? Please? (Dr. Goodfellow shakes his head.) Dr. Goodfellow: I'm afraid that's not possible right now. Once we're done with this interview, though, you can rest all you like. How's that sound? AU BARON AL BARICH: That sounds good… I-I guess. I'll do my best. Dr. Goodfellow: (smiles) That's all I ask. (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: My earliest memory… I guess it would be when I was a kid. This, um, this time I got in a fight? Not, like, a serious one or anything, just — just kid stuff, you know? Dr. Goodfellow: And when was this? What year? AU BARON AL BARICH: Around 1892…? No, that's not… I'm not sure. Sorry, I'm sorry. Dr. Goodfellow: That's alright. And where was this, if you don't mind? Where was your family living at the time? AU BARON AL BARICH: In Syria, in Damascus — but I was an orphan, I — I was in an orphanage. It was one of the other children there that I was… (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: (slowly) No. No, sorry, that's not right. I-I've never been to Syria, and — and I'm not an orphan. That's… (AU BARON AL BARICH looks towards the spent stimulants. He begins struggling against his restraints.) AU BARON AL BARICH: What the hell did you put in that syringe?! W-What the hell are you doing to me?! No, no no no! Dr. Goodfellow: (speaking loudly to be heard over AU BARON AL BARICH's protests) AU BARON AL BARICH, you've been told about this already. AU BARON — AU BARON AL BARICH: Help! Somebody help me! Dr. Goodfellow: Sir, please, I — (AU BARON AL BARICH begins thrashing and screaming.) AU BARON AL BARICH: This skin! My skin, it's — it's strangling me! I need to — I need to! (At this point, AU BARON AL BARICH attempted to swallow his own tongue and had to be sedated, ending the interview.) <End Log> Interview 5159-2 Interviewer: Dr. Goodfellow Interviewed: AU BARON AL BARICH, previously known as D-9921. Following the previous interview, AU BARON AL BARICH was put on a two-week course of counselling in the hopes of delaying their attempts at self-harm. For the purposes of this interview, AU BARON AL BARICH was kept awake for 48 hours and dosed with a stimulant to retain lucidity. <Begin Log> Dr. Goodfellow: Good evening, AU BARON AL BARICH. How're you feeling? AU BARON AL BARICH: I, um, I don't wanna do it again. Like last time? You know what I mean? Dr. Goodfellow: I'm not sure. Why don't you take a second to put your thoughts together? (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: (exhales) Okay. Okay. Last time, when you — when you asked me to remember. I didn't like that. It's like… I remembered one thing, and I remembered another thing in the same — in the same place, and they were, like, they were rubbing against each other. Or, or crashing, like a car crash. I didn't like that. Dr. Goodfellow: I understand. I'll do my best to make sure you're comfortable, but I'm afraid at some point we will have to return to the topic of your memories. (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: (quietly) Okay. Dr. Goodfellow: But we don't have to do that straight away. First, I'd like to ask you about… well, about what happened at the end of our last interview. You tried to hurt yourself? Do you remember? (AU BARON AL BARICH nods.) Dr. Goodfellow: I'm told you've tried to do things like that a few times before. Is that right? AU BARON AL BARICH: Yes. Dr. Goodfellow: May I ask why? (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: It's like… have you ever done something wrong? Like, a crime or something? Shoplifting when you were a kid, you know, or something like that? Dr. Goodfellow: Well, 'something wrong' is a pretty vague way of putting it, but… (chuckles) Yes. I suppose I've had my moments. AU BARON AL BARICH: And there's… there's that guilt, you know, just that — just that awful gnawing feeling. It's — it's you know, you've — because you want to make right, you — you do things. You need to do things, the — the right thing to do. It's like that. (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: I'm not making much sense, am I? Dr. Goodfellow: No, no, it's fine. I understand you. You feel like you have to make up for what you've done. That's an understandable feeling. AU BARON AL BARICH: I… yeah. That's exactly it. I have something that doesn't belong to me. It's only right to return it. Dr. Goodfellow: But you won't accomplish that by hurting yourself. If you help us, we can help you do the right thing. (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: You want me to remember again, don't you? Dr. Goodfellow: Yes. Your earliest memory, please. (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: (quietly) I'm cold. In, in the memory — I mean. Because I've been bleeding, and I'm almost bled out but now my wounds are closing. Like they do now. I'm a soldier. I'm holding a sword. Dr. Goodfellow: When was this? Do you know where? AU BARON AL BARICH: When the… when the sky was young. It's, like, blurry around the edges? It's the same with the place, like, like words with water poured on them. Sort of smudged? I'm happy. Dr. Goodfellow: In the memory? AU BARON AL BARICH: (giggling) Yeah. I've… I've gotten it. Nearly all my men are dead — the ghosts, it had ghosts, a whole army of them — but I've got it. I made it give it to me, the name, I put my blades into it until it screamed the words and it deserved it, the filthy thing deserved it and I cut its fucking head off. (Pause.) Dr. Goodfellow: (quietly) I… I see. (louder) And what is the 'it' you keep referring to? Could you see it? AU BARON AL BARICH: This… awful, awful thing, a monster. Like the ghosts that come out near me — too many limbs, too — too many eyes, those fucking eyes — I hate the way they're looking at me. I… I get rid of them. Dr. Goodfellow: And what happened to that man… to you next? Did you at least bury the creature? AU BARON AL BARICH: We burnt it. We burnt it to nothing, the ones of us that were left — my men — and… Dr. Goodfellow: And? AU BARON AL BARICH: (quietly) I know what I need to do — like I, like I said, the only right thing. The flames need me. I — I run forward, my men try to grab me but I'm too fast, and I jump and, and I'm burning and I want to die and I don't want to die and I scream out the words because I know otherwise it's all nothing and it's the first person I think of and… (AU BARON AL BARICH runs out of breath and starts panting.) Dr. Goodfellow: Please, try not to tire yourself out. (Pause. AU BARON AL BARICH continues breathing heavily.) AU BARON AL BARICH: And I wake up. I'm somewhere… somewhere else, across the sea. I'm a girl, I'm this girl, and I'm waiting for my father to come back from his battles. I'm looking through the window — it's so beautiful outside. It's so beautiful here. (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: My head hurts. Can we… can we stop? Dr. Goodfellow: Of course. You've done very well, sir. <End Log> Interview 5159-3 Interviewer: Dr. Goodfellow Interviewed: AU BARON AL BARICH, previously known as D-9921. Due to the generally positive results of the previous interview, it was decided that the next interview should take place as soon as possible. Interview took place one week later to preserve subject health. AU BARON AL BARICH was kept awake for 48 hours and dosed with a stimulant to retain lucidity. <Begin Log> Dr. Goodfellow: Good evening, AU BARON AL BARICH. How are you — AU BARON AL BARICH: (interrupting) Thieves. Dr. Goodfellow: I'm sorry? AU BARON AL BARICH: You're all thieves. Me too. When you brought me here, and you dragged that old man in here and made him give me his name, that's — you're hoarding. Thieves. This isn't for you. (Pause.) Dr. Goodfellow: I take it you've been doing some remembering of your own. AU BARON AL BARICH: I have, I… yes. This isn't for you, you're all thieves, you steal everything, everything. We didn't make it for you. (Dr. Goodfellow sits up.) Dr. Goodfellow: You didn't make it for us? The name is constructed, then? You remember making it? AU BARON AL BARICH: I do. I… we… I shouldn't tell you. There's no reason for me to tell you anything. Dr. Goodfellow: I'm afraid you'll only be permitted to sleep once I'm satisfied with the interview. (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: Bastards. I… just a few bits and pieces, to satisfy you, that couldn't hurt, could it? I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but it's just I remember. I remember what you did, you scum, I'll see you dead. Dr. Goodfellow: You mentioned you didn't make SCP-5159 for us. Who was it made for, then? AU BARON AL BARICH: What? I… we lived, were living, are living under the mountains. We were smiths of the Fae… we forged names for those who lived above. Names for battles, names for court. Like hats. Or armour. We were the finest the world had ever seen. Will ever see. Dr. Goodfellow: And what kind of name is AU BARON AL BARICH? (Pause.) Dr. Goodfellow: Sir? (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: (quietly) Everything's on fire. You, your Sky King, you… you've taken everything. No, no no no, it's lost, it's all gone, everything… Dr. Goodfellow: Sir, can you still hear me? AU BARON AL BARICH: (shouting) Of course I can still hear you! I'm still here! I'm still in this place! Dr. Goodfellow: You were telling me about how you made the name. AU BARON AL BARICH: It was just an idea. A name, a name fit for a king, to bring us all together again one day. Some day. It's been so long, though, too long. We threw ourselves into the workings, by the — by the hundreds, our blood forms its grandeur. (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: I need to give it back to me, to them, to us. Dr. Goodfellow: And how do you intend to do that? AU BARON AL BARICH: This is the wrong shape, the wrong skin, I… I need to make up for what we did to us. I need to get rid of this shape. Dr. Goodfellow: I see. And how did it end up in this… wrong skin? AU BARON AL BARICH: I — we wandered with it, the ones that were left when the land was gone. I held onto it waiting — waiting for the one who should hold it until I was… until I'm dying. Time's killing me. I sent it away, with someone strong — and I, I sent my steward to watch over it, to make sure it found the right… and then you stole it. You cut them down and you stole it. Like everything else. (Pause.) Dr. Goodfellow: This is the first time you've mentioned this 'steward'. You sent him away? What is it you said to him, when you sent him away? AU BARON AL BARICH: I… We will be back. One day, all our happiness will come again. As surely as wind becomes rain becomes snow. Dr. Goodfellow: (quietly) That's a lovely turn of phrase. AU BARON AL BARICH: (spits) It wasn't meant for you, human. (Dr. Goodfellow leans forward and puts his hand on AU BARON AL BARICH's restrained arm. AU BARON AL BARICH looks down at it.) AU BARON AL BARICH: (confused) That's… Dr. Goodfellow: Please listen. I'm here to help you. I — we're all here to help you. Do you understand? (Pause.) AU BARON AL BARICH: (quietly) Okay. (Dr. Goodfellow removes his hand and stands up.) Dr. Goodfellow: I'll be transferring out shortly, but thank you very much for telling me that story. I truly do appreciate it. You can rest now. AU BARON AL BARICH: But, I… this skin, my head… it hurts… I'm sorry… Dr. Goodfellow: I understand — you were rather rude to me at the start of this interview. (smiles) I forgive you. (Dr. Goodfellow leaves the chamber.) <End Log> Incident 5159-1 On 21/06/2021, three days following Interview 5159-3, the holder of SCP-5159 was observed to look up from its restraints in its containment cell, stare directly at the nearest surveillance camera, and say: "This name is not mine. Dr. Goodfellow, I give the name AU BARON AL BARICH to you." All anomalous phenomena surrounding this individual, henceforth referred to as D-9921, was observed to cease following this point. Immediately following this event, personnel were mobilized to locate and detain the new holder of SCP-5159. This was unsuccessful, as the individual in question was unable to be found either in Site-22 or in the location he was supposedly being transferred to. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that — despite the insistence of staff in Site-22 — no employment records for the individual previously known as Dr. Robin Goodfellow could be located on the Foundation's systems. As no purpose could be found in detaining D-9921 any further, they have been amnesticized and released back into the public. Efforts to locate the individual now known as AU BARON AL BARICH have, thus far, proven unsuccessful. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5159" by Tanhony, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5160 | keter | SCP-5160, without hat, during photo session with the "Grandmother Sheep" charity logo designer. Item #: SCP-5160 Special Containment Procedures: When physically in Foundation custody, SCP-5160 is to be housed in a medium-sized, camera-monitored livestock enclosure at Site-17. Standard food and custodial amenities are to be provided. Light grooming is to take place once monthly. SCP-5160 has been fitted with a custom-designed decorative tracking collar, to allow for the Foundation to identify locations at which it manifests. Should SCP-5160 be confirmed to have manifested near a public school, Foundation agents are to enter the premises under the guise of retrieving a fundraising charity mascot, and escort the entity away from the campus. Children are permitted to interact with SCP-5160 during the escorting process so long as low-dose amnestics are administered afterward. Should SCP-5160 disappear and re-manifest in its typical enclosure, no action is to be taken. Any overtly anomalous instances of SCP-5160-1 produced by SCP-5160 are to be confiscated and kept in Foundation custody at the nearest Foundation Site, with a non-anomalous replacement provided to the original recipient. Currently, there are 27 such items in storage; these instances may be used for experimentation by any researcher with Level-3 or higher clearance. Instances of SCP-5160-1 that do not exhibit any noticeable anomalies may be retained by the individual whom originally received the instance from SCP-5160. Followup investigations may proceed as necessary. A Foundation cover company named "Grandmother Sheep" (with the image of SCP-5160 used as its mascot) has been established as a disinformation initiative to deter civilian investigation of SCP-5160. The company is to function as a nonprofit charity dedicated to providing clothing, specifically handmade woolen items, to schoolchildren of low-income households. A full-time team of five Foundation agents is to maintain the Grandmother Sheep cover company's documentation and handle donations and distribution. The team is also to facilitate regular public appearances of non-anomalous SCP-5160 lookalikes for mascot "meet-and-greet" events. D-Class personnel with positive behavioral records may be recruited to assist with these tasks; paid leave will be granted to skilled Foundation researchers willing to host group knitting sessions for these individuals. Description: SCP-5160 is a small female Ouessant sheep (Ovis aries), which wears1 a pointed "witch hat" adorned with a purple ribbon and bow. SCP-5160 has the appearance of a non-anomalous geriatric sheep, but has not shown evidence of further aging. When approached by a human, SCP-5160 will anomalously release aromas considered by the individual to be comforting and pleasant. Should SCP-5160 be observed continuously, observers will note that it gradually takes on visible qualities reminiscent of their grandmothers, including hairstyles, accessories (glasses, jewelry, hair curlers, etc.) and clothing (aprons, knitwear). These visual anomalies are unique to the observer. Approximately once a week, SCP-5160 has been observed to vanish in a cloud of colored smoke and re-manifest in a housing area2 occupied by low-income families. SCP-5160 will then seek out a public gathering space and wait to be approached. Children (individuals under 18 years of age) who speak to SCP-5160 will be offered an article of woolen clothing, produced from SCP-5160's hat.3 These items (designated SCP-5160-1) have been found to possess minor anomalous properties, thus far demonstrated to manifest solely for the recipient. A partial list of SCP-5160-1 instances allowed to remain with their recipients is as follows: Article of Clothing Anomalous Property Recipient/Brief Background Black Mittens Provides a subtle "heating" effect, presumably to keep hands warm. Stated that "it feels like someone is holding my hand." ██████, Samuel. Was often placed in free afterschool programs due to parents working fulltime. Frequently did not return home until very late. Light Grey Beanie (Self-reported) "Thinking cap whispered and helped [me] remember more things." ███, Gabe. Was previously teased for losing items and quickly forgetting names of classmates. Salmon Pink Sweater Raised confidence, slightly improved overall body strength. Subject stated that they "feel like someone is cheering for me." ██████, Layna. Frequently sat out of sports and outside activities, cited fear of being hurt or "being the worst on the team". Black Scarf (Self-reported) "When I wear the scarf, I have an easier time thinking of funny things and I can make people laugh easily-er." █████████, Esmerelda. Noted to be timid and had difficulty making friends during lower-grade elementary years. White Socks (Self-reported) "I feel more comfortable when I wear the socks while studying. When I focus on the feel of the wool on my feet, I get distracted less often." ███, Hiroshi. First-generation college student, graduated high school early on a full scholarship. White Mittens (Self-reported) "When I look at the mittens, I see patterns in the wool that remind me of happy things, like clouds and ice cream and my favorite blanket from when I was little." ██████, Garyl. Child history seems unremarkable; mother was noted to have suffered severe postpartum depression. Addendum SCP-5160-1: SCP-5160 first attracted Foundation attention when many elementary schools within the same region of France reported a singular "lost sheep with a fancy hat" roaming campuses and evading capture. After months of surveillance, Foundation agents were eventually able to intercept SCP-5160 at ████████ Primary School, in North Yorkshire, England. Containment specialists dispatched to the location reported that upon their arrival, SCP-5160 appeared to half of the team4 as 5-meter tall versions of their maternal grandmothers. Additional assistance was called in and SCP-5160 was transported to the nearest Foundation site with no incident. Initial housing of SCP-5160 proved difficult, as it would repeatedly demanifest for long periods of time, only to reappear in various other rooms in the facility. Research personnel were able to lure SCP-5160 back to its usual enclosure using fresh fruits and other treats. However, after SCP-5160 had manifested in the site's break room, it was discovered that it had a fondness for reading knitting magazines. Upon being provided with several monthly subscriptions (and a basket to keep old issues in), SCP-5160 was persuaded to remain in its enclosure for extended periods of time. Over the course of the next few months, Foundation personnel attempted to communicate with SCP-5160, who consistently would only respond5 to binary ("yes/no") questions, and would only acknowledge three questions per day, if addressed as "grandma" or variations on the title. A tentative agreement was established: in exchange for SCP-5160's compliance, the Foundation would found a charity in its image, devoting a certain annual portion of the site's budget to said charity. SCP-5160 was to be given the final say in any publicity decisions, including the design of the charity logo. Addendum SCP-5160-2: Roughly three months after the founding of the Grandmother Sheep charity, undercover Foundation agents began receiving letters and artwork from children who received items through the organization. Dr. ████ █████ (the lead containment specialist on the SCP-5160 project) suggested that rather than storing the documents in the archives, they instead be kept in the interior portion of SCP-5160's enclosure. A large bulletin board was added to the containment area to allow SCP-5160 to display its favorite6 letters and drawings. Shortly after this change was made, SCP-5160 presented Dr. ████ █████ with a pair of woolen socks, presumably for Dr. █████'s toddler daughter. Thus far, the only observed anomalous effects involve the socks playing gentle, low-volume piano music when worn during evening and nighttime.7 Close inspection of the objects revealed small text embroidered into the inner lining of each sock, reading "Grandma believes in you." As of currently, Dr. █████ has been given provisional custody of the item. Footnotes 1. No attempts have been made to remove the hat, though it has been observed that no matter how SCP-5160 moves or is moved, the hat stays firmly affixed to its head unless SCP-5160 removes the hat on its own. 2. SCP-5160 seems to manifest primarily in developed countries, particularly those where sheep are relatively commonplace. 3. SCP-5160 will lean down to remove the hat, and pull the item of clothing out from the hat with its teeth. 4. It was later noted that the affected personnel had participated in industry work involving animal testing. 5. SCP-5160 will express affirmatives with loud bleating, and negatives with softer bleating. 6. Thus far, SCP-5160 consistently exhibits a fondness for works that reference its purple witch's hat. 7. Dr. ████ █████ expressed gratitude to SCP-5160 for the gift, as he previously was concerned about his daughter having difficulty sleeping through the night. |
SCP-5161 | keter | Item #: SCP-5161 Special Containment Procedures: Current means of containing SCP-5161 are hindered by its wide-spread nature. Containment is primarily managed via Foundation web-crawlers programmed to log SCP-5161 related symptoms reported within worldwide psychological/medical record databases. Subjects experiencing the stages of SCP-5161 are to be investigated and if confirmed, to be taken into Foundation custody. As amnestic treatment has proven to prevent the ongoing effects of SCP-5161, subjects are to be treated appropriately and released. Description: SCP-5161 is a reoccurring dream experienced by humans. An estimated 5000< cases of SCP-5161 have been reported annually, and no decisive connection between subjects has been determined. Dreams will last approximately three minutes in realtime, while subjects experiencing SCP-5161 will report roughly 3-6 hours passing from their own perspective. In all instances, SCP-5161 involves the dreamer being completely submerged in a body of water, described as being yellow and murky in colouration, with no apparent bottom. Subjects will experience SCP-5161 for 1-2 weeks daily, upon entering REM sleep. Following initial manifestation, SCP-5161 will become increasingly more lucid following each additional dream. During the 1-2 weeks period, dreams will become increasingly more realistic from the subject's perspective. Subjects will additionally experience anomalous phenomena associated with their dreams, often manifesting as small portions of salt water in their lungs and other objects materialising on their person, piercing the skin. Throughout the 1-2 week manifestation period, subjects' dreams will incorporate the following changes and anomalous properties described in Document 5161-A. DOCUMENT 5161-A Stage #1: Subjects find themselves unable to move and will remain in the same spot while dreaming. Subjects may occasionally report feeling that they are not alone in the water. Stage #2: Subjects become capable of controlling their movements while dreaming, although they may only swim in different directions. Subjects are unable to find the water’s surface or a physical bottom no matter how long they spend swimming. While unlikely, subjects may report noticing small objects appearing to float in the distance. These objects are difficult to decipher, due to the murkiness of the water. Stage #3: Subjects report experiencing physical stimuli during SCP-5161. Subjects will become capable of feeling the water around them, describing it to be fairly cold and dirty. Despite having no need to do so, subjects may feel the need to hold their breath, fearing they are running out of air. During this stage, subjects may report to have experienced piercing sensations on their skin. Stage #4: Feelings similar to suffocation or choking will be experienced for the remainder of the dream. Subjects are highly likely to attempt swimming upwards to reach the surface. Small amounts of yellow salt water will manifest in the subject's lungs. Subjects may notice multiple objects spread throughout the waters in the distance while swimming, similar to those described in Stage 2. Stage #5: While attempting to swim towards the surface, subjects will notice an increasing number of objects floating in the distant waters. This number will increase in wherever area the subject is not presently watching. These will materialise perpetually closer towards the subject, until they are able to visibly identify them as metal fishhooks tied to fishing wire. As subjects continue to swim, the number of fishhooks will increase in greater numbers and proximity towards them. Fishhooks will eventually start piercing the subject's body upon appearing close enough, and begin tugging the subject upwards. If subjects attempt to struggle, additional fishing lines will continue to appear, piercing their skin, and continue. This will usually result in the subject's body being almost completely engulfed in fishhooks. After a varying period of time, subjects that are still capable of sight will report seeing the water surface and sunlight above them. If subjects are able to unhook themselves from these lines, they will awaken. Subjects will no longer experience SCP-5161 from then onwards. Subjects unsuccessful in doing so before the dream's end will spontaneously dematerialise. After which, a thin layer of salt water will appear over the subject's body before falling. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5161" by Penton, from the SCP Wiki.

More by this author! Item#: SCP-5162 Level1 Containment Class: pending Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: warning link to memo SCP-5162-A within SCP-5162. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5162 can only be encountered by individuals not already aware of its existence, precluding containment by the Foundation at this time. Foundation personnel experiencing trauma related to SCP-5162-A are to be given access to in-house psychiatric care as necessary. Individuals unassociated with the Foundation experiencing trauma related to SCP-5162-A do not threaten the Veil, and are to be documented but not otherwise interfered with. Description: SCP-5162 is Forrestall's Lagoon, a small volcanic crater with unnaturally clear water and a granite basin. A narrow, shallow inlet connects the lagoon to Lake Huron; its location has yet to be determined. Aerial surveys of Lake Huron have not discovered it, and approach by land or water is apparently only possible for individuals ignorant of the site and its anomaly. SCP-5162-A is the Weight, a Jacobean-era tall ship located at the bottom of SCP-5162. It sits upright, masts and rigging fully intact, sails absent..The name is clearly visible on the ship's stern. Due to the clarity of the water, the ship and the basin which supports it are perfectly visible from the shoreline at all times. No fish or flora have been reported in the basin. Individuals observing SCP-5162-A from the shoreline of SCP-5162 will eventually disregard the experience as a false memory, but will suffer intrusive thoughts in relation to it for an indefinite period (see addenda below). The progression of this effect varies between subjects. Only one photograph of the basin and its contents has been recovered; most individuals report behaving in a trance-like state while within the lagoon, and lacking the perspicacity to record their experience. Addendum 5162-1, Discovery: In 2005, the Archives and Revision Section of Site-43 began a Foundation-wide research project to identify personnel who had unwittingly encountered uncontained anomalous objects in the past. Dr. Harold Blank, Chair of A&R, was one such subject; in an interview with parapsychological expert Dr. Nhung Ngo, he provided a detailed description of an uncatalogued anomaly which was soon corroborated by other interviewees at Site-43. Dr. Ngo: Tell me about the ship. Dr. Blank: When I was a kid, my parents had a small sailboat. We used to go on summer vacations around Georgian Bay in Lake Huron, anchoring at the various islands and beaches and exploring the inlets and lagoons. I have this… memory. We've sailed through an inlet into a small crater lake, surrounded by beaches and forest. We've anchored near the shore, and that's where I'm standing, in the memory. On the beach, looking down at the lake. It's shallow, but it doesn't seem shallow, because the water's so clear that I can see every grain in the granite basin. Makes it look like it goes down forever, like it's too big to be real. Like a matte painting. Like somebody scooped out a hundred feet of Canadian Shield, and filled it with… the idea of water, rather than the reality. And right there at the bottom of the basin, large as life, larger than life, is the ship. It's gigantic. I can see every detail, every inch of the thing, because the water's so clear and so clean. There's no weeds. Maybe there's fish, I don't know. But mostly there's that smooth stone basin, and that impossible ship. I can't stop looking at it, in the memory. It's like it's holding its breath, waiting for something to happen. And nothing is happening. And then I realize I'm holding my breath too, and I can't… I can't stop. I can't start breathing again. I can picture our sailboat floating on the water, with the ship below. It's almost like… like the ship is coming for me, across the lakebed, and that little sailboat's going to get caught in the wake, or fall through that clear water like it's thin air. I remember… I think I remember swimming in the lake, and looking down at the ship. It's looming, but from below, if that makes any sense. You can see why I've never told anyone about this before. Dr. Ngo: Do you think it could be a false memory? Dr. Blank: It has to be, right? If this was a real place, other people would've found it by now. My parents would've talked about it. When I was younger, I brushed it off as impossible because I didn't know impossible things… weren't. But now I'm not so sure. Dr. Ngo: Why? Dr. Blank: Because it's been more than twenty years, and I can still see it plain as day. Like it's right there in front of me, demanding that I do something about it. It's always there. A&R consulted Jacobean-era shipping records to determine whether the Weight was an existing ship or a purely anomalous manifestation. It was found that Sir Edmond Forrestall, politician, shipping magnate and a director of the East India Trading Company, had constructed and registered a ship by that name in Liverpool, England on the occasion of his retirement in 1622. No further documentation of the Weight has been recovered. Forrestall was embroiled in multiple scandals at the time of his retirement, relating both to his occupations and to his frequent association with high-profile occultists from the Rosicrucian Order. It is unclear why SCP-5162 bears his name, as he never visited North America; the name 'Forrestall's Lagoon' has been derived independently from each individual encountering it, apropos of nothing. Addendum 5162-2, Interview Excerpts: A&R has identified some seventeen individuals who have encountered SCP-5162 since 1986. Dr. Ngo debriefed each subject before amnesticization; selected interview transcripts appear below. 5162-S02: I can't stop thinking about it. How it's just sitting down there. By itself, on all that rock, under all that water. Dr. Ngo: Why is that interesting to you? 5162-S02: It's just… it's just so unwieldy, you know? There's too much rock, and way too much ship. It's huge. Something that huge, man-made, just sitting at the bottom of a lake. Like an office tower turned on its side and sank. What was it like, watching it sink? I can almost see the water rising up over it. I can almost hear it. Dr. Ngo: You weren't there. 5162-S02: Of course not. It's been down there for hundreds of years. Hundreds of years, and it hasn't changed. Every moment of my life, it's been down there. It's always down there. It's down… fuck, it's down there right now. Even when I'm not looking at it. Even when nobody's looking at it. Dr. Ngo: Why does that bother you? 5162-S02: I don't know. Why doesn't it bother you? 5162-S03: It's just so… unmanageable. Dr. Ngo: What do you mean? 5162-S03: It's unmanageable. A whole goddamn ship, every inch of it visible… not all at once, of course, it's too big to see all at once. That makes it worse. And you can't go down there and touch it, either, which also makes it worse. All you can do is stand on the shore and look into the water. That godawful clear water… it's like you're standing on the edge of a cliff, and it's at the bottom of the cliff, but you still feel like it's rising up in front of you. Even though it's in a hundred feet of water, or whatever. God, if something happened down there… you couldn't do anything about it. Dr. Ngo: What could happen? 5162-S03: What if it started to tip? What if it started to fall over, and you had to watch? What if you weren't watching, and it went over, groaned over under the lake, and nobody was there to see it? Or… I don't know. What if something came out, or something went in. You'd see it. You'd have to see it. Dr. Ngo: Why? 5162-S03: Because you can see it. 5162-S07: They say the Titanic is two miles underwater. You have to take a special submarine just to see it. It's rusting away to nothing in the cold dark, and that's fine, because you can't see it. But this thing, fuck me, it's just right out there in plain sight. What if you leave, and someone else comes by? How would you explain it to them? Dr. Ngo: You wouldn't. You'd be gone. 5162-S07: How could you live like that? Knowing someone else might see it, it might become a thing, everyone might find out, and you wouldn't even know they'd found out? I'd lose my fucking mind. 5162-S08: I can't let it go. It's too… there's too much of it, for me to just let it go. The mass of it. The totality. Displacing all that water, just… weighing on you. Dr. Ngo: It can't be weighing on you. It's at the bottom of a lagoon. 5162-S08: Tell that to my panic attacks. 5162-S14: I couldn't breathe. I couldn't… I couldn't handle the responsibility. Dr. Ngo: What responsibility? 5162-S14: For the ship. For all those planks and nails. For the dark spaces in between, the flooded decks and flooded holds. For all that empty space that wasn't empty. All that… Dr. Ngo: Weight. 5162-S14: Yeah. All that weight. Addendum 5162-3, Related Phenomena: The following is an excerpt from Dr. Harold Blank's annual psychological review for 2009. Dr. Ngo: Tell me about the dream. Dr. Blank: I'm standing in a flat, empty expanse. I can't see the details. I can't see anything but this gigantic… I think it's a cube? A gigantic black cube, too big to see, too big to even think about. It's so vast, it takes your breath away just to imagine that it exists. Dr. Ngo: And what's the cube doing? Dr. Blank: The cube's not doing anything. No… that's not true. The cube is bearing down on me. Because I'm holding it up. Dr. Ngo: You're holding it up? I thought you said it was immeasurably vast. Dr. Blank: It is. I'm holding it up by one corner, and all the weight is concentrated on that single point. On me. I don't even see all this from my own perspective; it's like I'm floating behind myself, watching myself bear the load of this ungodly huge weight. If I shift my grip, it'll start to fall, and I won't be able to stop it. It'll come crashing down. I can't so much as twitch. And I know I can't hold it forever, but I know I have to hold it, forever. I can't drop it. I can't even put it down. Dr. Ngo: Why not? Dr. Blank: I don't know. Because… I'll get in trouble? Because if it starts to fall, it'll fall forever. Because I'm the pressure point, the fulcrum, and nothing else can keep it steady. Because if I do put it down, the sheer weight of it will break the goddamn Earth. Because it's too big not to carry. Because it's everything. Dr. Ngo: Then why doesn't it break you? Silence on recording. Dr. Blank: Because it's mine. Dr. Ngo: Do these dreams interfere with your duties? Dr. Blank smiles, and does not respond. All individuals exposed to SCP-5162-A have reported dreams featuring similar thematic undertones. This phenomenon does not appear to diminish with the passage of time.

SCP-5163 | safe | SCP-5163 Item #: SCP-5163 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5163 is to be kept in a Standard Containment Locker within Site-73. Any requests that involve the handling or removal of the object of its containment must be authorized by the Site Director. While handling SCP-5163, personnel should wear protective gloves and make sure to never allow their skin to come into contact with the object. In the case personnel (accidentally or not) touches SCP-5163, they are to be administrated with amnestics and isolated for observation. Affected personnel is to be restored to their positions only when/if they no longer present significant symptoms of SCP-5163’s effects. Description: SCP-5163 appears to be a teddy bear measuring approximately 26 cm in height with creamy white fur and light blue details. When a human makes physical contact with SCP-5163, the subject will instantly develop a certain level of emotional attachment to the object. The intensity of this effect and the way it manifests over the victims varies with each case, however, it often causes the subjects to consider SCP-5163 as something of extreme importance to themselves. The use of amnestics has proven to be relatively effective in healing affected subjects, although in a few cases subjects developed symptoms of depression after the amnesticization. No other anomalous properties were observed. Discovery: SCP-5163 was acquired by the Foundation on 29/04/2009 when a group of 3 field agents who were working on an unrelated assignment accidentally found the object in an abandoned house from a rural zone of Texas, which they were planning to occupy for the days needed to complete their duties. After installing surveillance cameras in and outside the house, Agent Nicholas Campbell noticed SCP-5163 on a table inside a room of the house. The object was above a small piece of paper which caught his attention. After grabbing the object to get the paper, Agent Nicholas immediately began to act unusually due to the effects of SCP-5163. The following is the transcript of the video record during the incident. + Video Log 5163-001 - Hide Upon grabbing the object Agent Nicholas starts smiling and staring at it. He then begins to rub the object against his face. Agent Coulson: Hey Nick! What the hell are you doing? Stop playing around dude, we got work to do here! Agent Nicholas: I know, I know. But isn’t this little boy the cutest thing ever? I can’t leave it here alone. That’s it, I will carry it with me during the rest of our mission and I wanna take it home too. Agent Reynolds: What are you talking about Nick, you okay? We have no time to waste here, did you forget that SCP-███ escaped and we are here looking for evidence of its current whereabouts? Why are you acting like a child? You are not like this. Just throw this damn bear away and focus on the mission. Agent Nicholas: I am not understanding you guys. Would you really abandon something this precious in such an isolated and dangerous place? Damn, it seems like you two are crueler than I thought. Agent Coulson: You can’t be serious. Let me just get rid of this stupid toy for you. Agent Coulson then approaches Nicholas and slaps away the object from his hands. Agent Nicholas: (yelling) Coulson you bastard! What did it do to you?! How can you treat my dear and cute friend like this? You better have a good explanation, because I am truly pissed off now! Agent Coulson: Wait a minute… You are right. Oh no… What have I done? I am so ashamed now. I will never forgive myself for this… Agent Nicholas: I won’t forgive you either Coulson!! Nicholas then proceeds to punch Coulson, who doesn’t react and falls to the ground. Agent Reynolds then holds back Nicholas preventing him to cause more harm to Coulson. Agent Reynolds: Guys just stop. What’s going on with you two? Are you truly fighting over a damn teddy bear? Pretty sure you both would get fired if our superiors find out about this. Agent Nicholas: This “damn teddy bear” is my best friend now! I don’t care if I get fired because of it Reynolds, and I can’t forgive Coulson for hurting him like that! Let go of me Reynolds I want to kill him! Agent Coulson: Yeah he is right, Reynolds. I can’t live anymore knowing that I caused harm to our precious friend that means the world to me. I can’t understand why I did something so terrible. To be honest, at this point I don’t really care about my life anymore, so go ahead and kill me guys, make justice for the coolest and cutest teddy bear of all times. Agent Coulson remains laying on the ground, seemingly depressed. Agent Reynolds: Okay guys, I am sorry but I can’t allow this situation to continue. At this point Agent Reynolds applies a sedative on Agent Nicholas who soon falls unconscious. Agent Reynolds: Coulson, I hope I won't need to do the same to you. I believe we are dealing with something anomalous here, I will contact the Foundation and request reinforcements. Agent Reynolds then contacts the Foundation, explains the situation, and asks for reinforcements, while Agent Coulson doesn't show any changes in his behavior. 25 minutes later Foundation personnel arrives at the local. Both Agents Nicholas Campbell and Coulson Jones were treated with amnestics and removed from their mission for observation and a psychological evaluation, being replaced by 2 other Agents, while SCP-5163 was contained without further incidents. Although both agents are currently unable to remember their interaction with SCP-5163, they occasionally still claim that they feel as if "something is missing." Addendum 1: Agent Nicholas Campbell was deemed as free of any effects regarding SCP-5163 on 25/08/2013, after stating that he no longer feels anything unusual, while Agent Coulson Jones still claims to feel an "unexplainable emptiness", which could mean that SCP-5163's effects might affect certain individuals more than others. Nonetheless, both Agents are currently able to perform their duties without any significant problems. Addendum 2: The piece of paper found together with the object had the following writing by an unknown subject: "I'm so so sorry Kenny, but I can't stay here anymore, I need to be strong and leave you behind even though that feels almost impossible to me. My heart is falling apart and I am crying so much while writing this because I am 100% sure that I will never again find anything as cute and as amazing as you are, but I truly need to go, as I have been spending more than 15 hours just playing with you every day and I need to focus on something else for now… But know that you are always on my mind, and to be honest, I will probably return to be with you sooner or later, so please just wait for me. This house is yours now." |
SCP-5164 | esoteric-class | by Cydhra Item#: 5164 Level1 Containment Class: kušum Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures Foundation personnel in the area around Cairo must be familiar with SCP-5164's containment procedures. Because SCP-5164 is unremarkable and boring, personnel are encouraged to skip reading the remaining document if they have better things to do. Understanding the containment procedures is the only vital part of this measure. Physical containment of SCP-5164 has been abandoned indefinitely.1 While its anomalous properties remain active, they are contingent on silly thoughts of SCP-5164. Because SCP-5164 is an adult, such childish escapism is unfit for it, and it will not act upon ideas derived from its anomalous properties. SCP-5164 must be prevented from moving to densely populated areas, as well as areas with high Foundation presence. Because SCP-5164 is content with its modest lifestyle and life in the city took a harsh toll on its mental health the last time, SCP-5164 will not consider such a change out of its own volition. Its environment must remain free of major stressors, and its achievements and life experiences must be steered towards dullness to avoid stress-inducing ambitions or publicity. If SCP-5164 develops ambitions or tries to pursue dreams that threaten the status quo of its current lifestyle, Foundation agents are to be embedded in its general area of habitation. Agents are required to talk about how unrealistic and childish SCP-5164's dreams are daily during their stay. No other tasks need to be performed, so this can be carried out next to more important jobs or on vacations. Since spontaneous ambitions of SCP-5164 are generally lame, it is estimated that this will not require substantial Foundation assets. Description SCP-5164 is a man in his late twenties living on the outskirts of the Cairo metropolitan area. SCP-5164 lives a modest life with a job, friends, and currently no love interest. While not particularly noteworthy, its life can be described as respectable and healthy, demanding no drastic changes. SCP-5164 can anomalously access the collective subconscious and shared knowledge of its surrounding society. The range of this ability is unknown, but it is estimated to cover metropolitan areas. SCP-5164 neither notices this process happening nor will it question how it gained knowledge in this way. Concepts, ideas, and knowledge obtained in this way are given more importance by SCP-5164 if more people in the affected area think about them. Addenda Initial Discovery Department: Department of Miscommunication Date: 29/08/2023 SCP-5164 was initially discovered when it tried to open a portal into a tartarean subspace on its university campus in Cairo. It had commandeered an unsecured excavator on an on-campus construction site and attempted to use its shovel as the iron source for a Type 3 Hittite conjuration ritual. The ritual was interrupted by local law enforcement because of civilian reports about a young man attempting to steal the excavator. After some confusion about SCP-5164's intentions, Foundation agents were finally notified by an embedded agent in another part of the country and conducted an interview with SCP-5164. The reasoning of SCP-5164 remains dubious. According to an interview, it was attempting to escape the intense stress it experienced during the exam period by moving to a lesser tartarean plane. This account was corroborated by several of its peers, especially band members of his musical project. They testified that SCP-5164 was frequently absent from band activity, despite their recent success on social media. The exact goal of the ritual remains unclear, however, as SCP-5164 was confusing several types of tartarean spaces and clearly had only a very surface-level understanding of Hittite rituals.2 Its knowledge was mixed with mundane mythology, ostensibly originating from several university classes on anthropology. At the time, Foundation agents assumed that SCP-5164 possessed no inherent anomalous capabilities and only happened to stumble upon some actual occult practices by coincidence. It clearly did not understand the ritual it was trying to perform and could not differentiate between occultism and mythology. Much later, it became evident that SCP-5164 likely picked up the required knowledge from a Foundation seminar about Hittite rituals that was conducted at a Foundation site nearby, which increased the presence of Hittite knowledge in the collective subconscious above a threshold where it became useful to SCP-5164. The Foundation agents conducting the interview did not make this connection at the time, however. Why SCP-5164 was willing to perform an occult ritual to ease the psychological stress originating from its studies, instead of more proven stress relief techniques, remains unclear to this day. It is theorized, however, that SCP-5164 was underperforming in its studies. Moreover, the exam season caused severe stress in the collective subconscious of the entire campus, further increasing the stress experienced by SCP-5164. This likely resulted in panic attacks and substantially decreased SCP-5164's ability to think rationally. Because no anomalous activity was found, SCP-5164 was amnestized and released shortly thereafter. Containment Attempt Department: Site 107 Date: 01/10/2023 A few weeks after the previous incident, SCP-5164 was apprehended again while attempting to convene with a higher tartarean entity. SCP-5164 had successfully executed several embalming steps of ancient Egyptian burying rituals on its head. According to an interview, SCP-5164 attempted to speak to Anubis, following a complex set of procedures that would temporarily send its head into the afterlife. The goal of this ritual was, according to SCP-5164, to obtain knowledge that would help it succeed at its studies, as SCP-5164 was facing exmatriculation at that point.3 Again, the exact reasoning is unclear, as this is not a standard ritual. Experts from the Occultism Department, however, do think the procedure might be possible when combining rituals from several branches of the occult. This time, Foundation agents considered it highly unlikely that SCP-5164 performed highly potent occult rituals by chance, and an investigation into the source of SCP-5164's knowledge was launched. It was discovered that several high-ranking personnel had convened about Egyptian Occultism at Site 107 a few days prior, due to an unrelated containment breach. At first, it was unclear how SCP-5164 obtained knowledge from this convention, but a preliminary containment protocol was set in place, and SCP-5164 remained on site for the following days. Shortly thereafter, SCP-5164 attempted to breach containment. It had exploited several weaknesses in the construction of Site 107 and its containment units. At the time, it was unclear how SCP-5164 learned of these weaknesses, but it later became clear that personnel of Site 107 were generally aware of them.4 This sparked the first theories into the anomalous properties of SCP-5164. In the following six days, SCP-5164 caused five more containment breaches, four of them mass breaches where it attempted to free several other live anomalies from their containment units. Interviews conducted at the time revealed that SCP-5164 likely had hero fantasies of saving the anomalies.5 Relocation Department: Site 107 Date: 09/10/2023 Following the six containment breaches, a theory about SCP-5164's properties was formed. A new containment strategy was postulated and, due to the high breach frequency, tested immediately. Containment at Foundation facilities was deemed impractical, as its abilities would eventually give SCP-5164 the combined thaumaturgic and occult knowledge of any Foundation facility. SCP-5164 was fully amnestized and relocated to a less densely populated area under a cover story involving his exmatriculation. The current Special Containment Procedures were implemented, and Site 107 staff, as well as several external agents, were briefed about the new containment protocols. The agents were embedded in the vicinity of SCP-5164's new apartment and held daily meetings, discussing the silliness and childishness of SCP-5164's dreams. This way, any aspirations to return to Cairo City, rejoin a university course, or attempt another stressful endeavor were inhibited by implanting the idea that such dreams were unachievable for SCP-5164 in their collective subconscious. Similarly, the agents implanted the idea that its current lifestyle was sufficient and that it was content with its situation. The presence of Foundation agents was gradually reduced, and it is believed that the knowledge of the Containment Procedures by Site 107 staff is sufficient to keep the implanted ideas in the collective subconscious. This containment strategy worked, and instead of seeking out academic success or striving for a successful career, SCP-5164 focused on his musical project. A covert interview with one of his band members confirmed that SCP-5164 had rediscovered its previous passion and put substantial energy into the project. At the time, the task force considered this a great success, as it was unlikely that SCP-5164 would be requiring rituals to keep up with expectations. Incident 5164-09 Department: Site 107 Date: 26/03/2024 On Saturday, March 23, 2024, the musical project The Set Up featuring SCP-5164 performed live at a square near the Nile river bank. During the performance, SCP-5164 began guessing musical tastes and song requests from random members of the audience with near-perfect accuracy, attempting to satisfy requests to the band's ability. This performance was likely enabled by the crowd being already primed for the genre of music the band was able to perform, as well as the charismatic demeanor of SCP-5164. The display attracted the attention of additional passersby, and soon after, audience members began live-streaming the performance to various social media platforms. With the growing audience, SCP-5164 began making a spectacle out of its ability, asking guests to share requests with other audience members and the livestreams before guessing them in front of the cameras; his ability to guess correctly being amplified by the audience's shared knowledge about the answer. The performance lasted several hours, constituting a major containment breach event, and requiring substantial resources to suppress. To prevent follow-up incidents, Mobile Task Force Omega-20 ("Thought Police") was tasked with following SCP-5164 and slowly separating it from the band. The task force did not directly interact with SCP-5164, but regularly conversed about how embarrassing and immature its little magic show was and how nobody stayed for the actual music of the band. Over a few weeks, MTF Omega-20 fabricated self-doubt for SCP-5164, encouraging it to avoid its band members, and to abandon its musical ambitions. Several phone calls between SCP-5164 and its band members were intercepted and used to form new strategies to permanently divide them. However, the band members acted supportive of SCP-5164's induced insecurities, and the recent successes of the band made it difficult to implant the idea to abandon the project. Finally, MTF Omega-20 decided to implant feelings of exploitation in SCP-5164, which showed promising results. Through crafted narratives, which were reinforced by frequent conversations between MTF members, they created the idea that the band members just kept SCP-5164 around for his charisma and social media influence but didn't actually care about it or its music. SCP-5164 did not leave its apartment for several weeks and refrained from interacting with band members, band activities, and music in general. It deleted several social media profiles and online discographies of the band. It had minimal social interactions for several months, which led MTF Omega-20 to conclude that the breach was successfully contained. The Special Containment Procedures were updated, and no further incidents have occurred since. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5164" by Cydhra, from the SCP Wiki.

Kušum: Item's containment has been abandoned indefinitely. 2. The idea that this could work was described as silly by many. 3. This is likely due to a lack of academic skill of SCP-5164. 4. An investigation is ongoing to determine why personnel did not attempt to mitigate the security issues. The official response from Site 107 Director Gomaa is "lack of funding". 5. It is unclear why an adult would act upon such infantile fantasies. |
SCP-5165 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5165 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5165 is to be kept in a small locked container. Any testing involving SCP-5165 must be performed in an area suitably sized for the individual test. UPDATE 07/24/2016: SCP-5165-B is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell. It is to be allowed access to any non-hazardous instances of SCP-5165-A, and a limit of one ream of paper every two weeks upon request. Description: SCP-5165 is a ream of printer paper produced by the company Botezatu Hârtie, based in Romania. The anomalous effects of SCP-5165 occur when any amount of SCP-5165 is folded into an origami figure. Once it has been folded, the portion of SCP-5165 will transform into the physical form of the folder's intended creation (henceforth referred to as SCP-5165-A). SCP-5165-A acquires the properties of the object it resembles, and is no longer composed of paper. In some cases, however, the instance of SCP-5165-A will take the form of an item that appears to have very specific properties that are unrelated to what the folder intended to create. Many of these items have been dated to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There is no apparent relation between these items. (See Addendum 5165.2) Addendum 5165.1: To determine the true nature of SCP-5165, the following tests were performed. + Show Experiment Logs - Hide Experiment Logs Experiment Log 5165.EL-01: Subjects: SCP-5165, D-21957 Preface: D-21957 was instructed to fold a paper boat out of an instance of SCP-5165.

Interviewer: Dr. Cezar Moldovan Interviewee: SCP-5165-B [BEGIN LOG] Moldovan: Hello, sir. May I have your name? SCP-5165-B: Marius Gheorghe. Who are you? Moldovan: That's not important. SCP-5165-B nods, then scratches his throat, seemingly feeling for something, then coughs. Moldovan: Is something the matter? SCP-5165-B: N-no, sir. May I have some water? Dr. Moldovan gestures for an assistant to retrieve water. Moldovan: So, Mr. Gheorghe, does origami or paper hold any importance to you? SCP-5165-B: Yes, sir. I… started folding origami in university, and kept doing it from then. Moldovan: Interesting. I have some objects for you to look at. Do you mind telling me if any of them remind you of something? SCP-5165-B: Of course, sir. An assistant hands SCP-5165-B a glass of water. He drinks all of it quickly. Dr. Moldovan puts the toy boat and survival knife on the table. Moldovan: Could you please tell me what importance these items have? SCP-5165-B: (seemingly agitated) How did you- Moldovan: Mr. Gheorghe, please answer the question. SCP-5165-B has a shocked expression on his face, then appears to swallow. SCP-5165-B: (quieter) Th-the boat was my… favorite toy as a boy. I, um, used to love playing with it in the lake nearby. The… the knife, I used to carry it with me when I went hunting with my father. Dr. Moldovan removes the items and replaces them with the poster and an image of the bomber. SCP-5165-B begins to seem very uncomfortable. SCP-5165-B: That… poster. They put them all over my town. They said they were our friends. They said we would win the war. I saw that plane fly over, and there was something that came out of it. I don't remember what happened next. All I know is that it was scary. Dr. Moldovan removes the items and replaces them with the cigar box and vase. SCP-5165-B: M-my father used to smoke cigars all the time. He kept that box in case he ever ran out and was unable to get more. I never understood that. SCP-5165-B pauses for a moment. Moldovan: (calmly) Please continue. SCP-5165-B: The vase was my mother's favorite. She used to keep very pretty flowers in it. I remember it being clean, though. Moldovan: What happened to your parents? SCP-5165-B: The plane. When I saw that plane and woke up, there was nothing. My parents, my sister, my house, my town. There was nothing. I had to leave. Germany… they… SCP-5165-B falls silent. Moldovan: I understand. Dr. Moldovan removes the items and replaces them with the chocolate box and letter. SCP-5165-B visibly swallows, and his skin appears to go pale. Dr. Moldovan: Is there a problem, Mr. Gheorghe? SCP-5165-B: I'd… prefer not to answer about these. Dr. Moldovan: Very well. That will conclude your interview. These guards will escort you to your living quarters. [END LOG] Addendum 5165.3: SCP-5165-B is a humanoid entity resembling a Caucasian male, measuring approximately 174 cm tall with an estimated age of 34 years old. SCP-5165-B claims to be named Marius Gheorghe. It seems to enjoy origami, and commonly uses it as a means to pass time. SCP-5165-B possesses no anomalous properties. Further study reveals that the town that SCP-5165-B originated from was completely destroyed in a Nazi bombing, and the site of the town was eventually used to construct the Botezatu Hârtie Paper Company. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5165" by AdsidTFD, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5166 | safe | Item #: SCP-5166 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5166 is to be kept in a sealed case in Storage Unit-27 of Site-22, which is kept under guard by two security personnel at all times. Once a day, janitorial staff are to retrieve any paper attached to this case for recycling purposes. Description: SCP-5166 is a small notebook with illegible text written on its surface in pencil. At variable intervals, scraps of paper similar in appearance to SCP-5166 will appear stuck to any object in its immediate vicinity. To date, these objects have included: SCP-5166's containment unit. Instruments being used to inspect SCP-5166. Personnel inspecting SCP-5166. Vermin passing SCP-5166's containment unit1. Itself. Scraps of paper created by itself. In contrast to the illegible writing present on SCP-5166, legible writing is present on the additional paper scraps it creates. This writing invariably takes the form of a supposed message from an individual or group claiming responsibility for the creation of the object the paper is stuck to, along with an explanation for where the object came from or what its purpose is. Without exception, all of these explanations to date have been incorrect. SCP-5166 was purchased by Agent Green during his annual mandated attendance of the Andersen Auction of Abnormalities in Yorkshire, England. A full list of anomalies which were brought into containment at this time is available in the Site-22 archives. Addendum 5166-1 (Message Log): The following is a record of the messages that have appeared on objects in proximity to SCP-5166. Any additional messages produced by SCP-5166 are to be submitted to research staff for archival purposes prior to recycling. Object: An empty coffee cup.

SCP-5167 | keter | Item #: SCP-5167 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation web-crawlers are to monitor online communities for mentions of potential SCP-5167 sightings. In cases where these sightings are confirmed, all direct witnesses are to be apprehended and all secondary evidence removed from the platform in question. Apprehended witnesses are to be held until symptoms of SCP-5167 abate, and are then to be amnesticized and released under a standard 'mental breakdown' cover story. Description: SCP-5167 is an entity known to manifest as a player of the online multiplayer game Among Us under the username of 'Phthonus'. SCP-5167 will randomly join multiplayer lobbies of the game and participate as an ordinary player would, with the majority of its anomalous effects only becoming obvious following the initial encounter. During this initial encounter, SCP-5167 has been observed to communicate using the in-game chat function, although the majority of its speech consists of lengthy diatribes produced at little prompting from other players. Individuals who interact with SCP-5167 in-game will subsequently begin to exhibit symptoms of paranoia and Capgras delusion1. The severity of these symptoms varies from person to person, but in initial cases was significant enough to prompt acts of perceived self-defense from those affected2. These symptoms persist for a period initially believed to encompass several months, but has lessened to one or two weeks as observation has continued. SCP-5167 was initially discovered by the Foundation after a period during which the player 'Phthonus' was a minor urban legend in the Among Us community. Although interest in the figure died down fairly quickly, Foundation web-crawlers flagged recorded accounts of player encounters with the entity as potential anomalous phenomena. Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville") was assigned to track sessions of the game until SCP-5167 was encountered — and when the other players in said session were tracked down, they exhibited the symptoms now associated with SCP-5167. Foundation efforts to track the individual behind SCP-5167 have thus far proven unsuccessful — all attempts to locate the internet access point used by the anomaly have led to deserted home addresses in rural Greece. Analysis of Impending SCP-5167 Neutralization As requested by Head Researcher Abrams, I've had the Site-22 analysts look into the progress of SCP-5167's anomalous effects over the period we've observed it — and the results are much as I expected. When we first discovered SCP-5167 — for the sake of argument, let's say this is when SCP-5167 first came into existence — the impact it had on its victims was severe. I don't think I have to remind you of what Billy Heth did to his family's faces. But since then — almost immediately, really, since that first couple of manifestations — the potency of its effects has started to decline. Full detachment from reality became delusion, and delusion has now become paranoia - and the intensity of that paranoia is lessening in each new case. This is all conjecture, of course, and shouldn't be taken as gospel — but based on what we've observed of this anomaly thus far, our estimation is that SCP-5167's anomalous effects will become inert by the end of the year. Whether it'll keep popping up in these video game matches is another story, though. Site-22 Intelligence Director, Michelle Ross Observation Log 5167-1 The following is a log of SCP-5167 as observed by Learning Computer Psi-2 in a game of Among Us. SCP-5167 participated in the game without communicating until specifically addressed by other players. Following the game, all participating players were tracked down and treated as containment procedures dictate. Communication is logged below: <Begin Log> JonArbucle: red, where were you when we were doing reactor? SCP-5167: Where was I? SCP-5167: I was there when the mountains were newborn, and the oceans virginal. SCP-5167: I was there when gods walked among men, and their wisdom was cast down like sunlight. SCP-5167: I was there when mankind was capable of legends. SCP-5167: And now? SCP-5167: I find myself in a world that has forgotten even the taste of life, even the very concept of life beyond existing from one day to the next. Mere continuance. Where all the world is wasted away in idle play of emotions that once rang true. SCP-5167: I am in a world where even the gods are forgotten, their bones washed away by time. A world where man has moved on, where all the legacy I have left are three fucking sentences on Wikipedia. SCP-5167: I thought my time had come again. I thought this could be the new me. But this is nothing. Let me stay dead this time. SCP-5167: I'm tired. (No activity for twelve seconds.) your mom: red is sus xg1200: yeah, vote red <End Log> Footnotes 1.

SCP-5168 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5168 Level 3/5168 Confidential SCP-5168. Special Containment Procedures: The house containing SCP-5168 has been purchased by a Foundation front company, and is to be barred from civilian entry. Civilians attempting to gain access to SCP-5168 or the house it is contained within will be deterred. SCP-5168-A groups escaping captivity are to be recaptured and terminated. Any witnesses will then be given the cover story of the SCP-5168-A group being a delinquent gang all dressed in the appearance of the character "Jeff the Killer", who have since been arrested. Families targeted by SCP-5168-A are to be placed through cognitive detail suppression measures, with property damages being attributed to a common burglary. To stop the uncontrolled manifestation of SCP-5168-A instances, various measures have been constructed to slowly vacate all families bearing children from Kitchover, Iowa. These include the shutting down of a local school district under the guise of budgeting issues, removal of multiple children's play areas, and the methodical offering of better housing to child bearing families by Foundation real estate front companies. Remaining families are to be placed under Foundation surveillance. The prominence of fairy circles1 in the area will be deemed typical to any civilians inquiring on it. All civilian digging efforts in Kitchover are to be monitored heavily to prevent the further discovery of SCP-5168-A corpses. The house containing SCP-5168. Description: SCP-5168 is a modified Tandy 1000 RL computer, which constantly flashes artwork of the fictional horror character "Jeff the Killer" across its monitor, located inside of a suburban house in Kitchover, Iowa. SCP-5168 functions in this manner even when separated from a power source or internet access. Internal wiring contains fungal hyphae strands instead of normal conductors. SCP-5168 cannot be removed from the household, as its external wiring has been altered with several cords of unknown purpose, which run through the entire house and into the ground below. Subterranean image viewing shows this wiring leads to a large unidentifiable mass approximately 3000 meters below the ground. This mass marginally changes shape between viewings. When a prepubescent child in Kitchover awakens as a result of a nightmare or night terror, SCP-5168 shuts itself down. This is immediately followed by the manifestation of 7-15 humanoid entities identical to common depictions of Jeff the Killer (designated SCP-5168-A) within the premises. After the manifestation of SCP-5168-A instances, SCP-5168 promptly restarts and returns to its normal behavior. SCP-5168-A are primarily composed of tightly interwoven networks of mycelium and sclerotium, with pale external pigmentation and facial structure abnormalities, giving them the appearance of Jeff the Killer. Instances manifest with a kitchen knife affixed to their left hand, which is significantly dulled and functionally useless. SCP-5168-A express no signs of complex sentience nor sapience. After manifestation, SCP-5168-A instances will leave the premise and slowly advance towards the awoken child's location, avoiding or destroying any obstructions as necessary. SCP-5168-A will nonfatally incapacitate any individuals hindering their advance, usually overpowering them with their group strength. Once they have reached the child, the SCP-5168-A group will huddle around them quietly while repeating the phrase "Go to sleep". Several SCP-5168-A instances will tuck the child under any available blankets and sheets. Once the child is in bed, other instances perform various actions in presumed attempts to make the child return to sleep, these commonly include: Giving the child cookies and a warm glass of milk if such items are available, Making the child sandwiches using available ingredients, utilizing their knives to spread condiments and cut foods as needed, attempting to read the child any books in the vicinity, this consists of the instance repeating "Go to sleep" with tonal variations while holding said book, singing "Go to sleep" repeatedly to the tune of various lullabies. Despite the mental trauma these events would subsequently entail, children targeted by SCP-5168 are not scared by their arrival, the cause of which is undetermined. Once the child is asleep, the SCP-5168-A instances will retreat outside the child's location, then proceed to bury each other in a circular formation around the residency whilst humming lullabies. SCP-5168-A then expire and degrade at an increased rate. While undergoing decomposition, SCP-5168-A grow excessive amounts of Amanita muscaria fungi across their body. These fungi are notably capable of causing drowsiness and unconsciousness if ingested, eventually inducing a comatose state if consumed in high enough quantities. Addendum 5168-1 — Incident 5168-A: On 2021/2/3, following the manifestation of SCP-5168-A instances and their advance towards the targeted household, the target child, Kaden Noham, underwent a fatal allergic reaction after being given a peanut butter and jelly sandwich by an SCP-5168-A instance. While the SCP-5168-A group appeared more distressed after this event, they otherwise continued their normal pattern of behavior. This event resulted in previously unrecorded phenomena at the location of SCP-5168. The following is a transcript of the occurrences at the containment site: <BEGIN LOG> LOCATION: SCP-5168 CONTAINMENT SITE FRONT YARD — 23:40 (Tremors begin to resound from underneath the house, and cracks form across the lawn. Massive fungal structures emerge out from these cracks, they grow to approximately 3 meters in height and eventually cease motion. A single large eye opens across each of their caps, which moves rapidly and appears to be crying. The eye contorts into a toothless mouth, which opens and produces an infantile scream. The mouth on the structures contort back into the eye. This process repeats itself indefinitely.) CONTAINMENT ROOM — 23:42 (The cords on SCP-5168 begin moving vigorously. SCP-5168 rapidly shuts itself back on and off, causing SCP-5168-A instances to appear in unprecedented amounts. These entities immediately run out of the house, trampling each other to leave as quickly as possible.) FRONT YARD — 23:45 (SCP-5168-A begin emerging from the house and throwing themselves onto the ground, their arms outstretched. They mutter "Go to sleep" repeatedly. SCP-5168-A are occasionally seized and consumed by the fungal structures when their mouths are present. Agent Janeson returns from the Noham residence after calling Foundation medical personnel to the house and further containing the situation.) Janeson: (Exiting her vehicle.) The hell is—? (SCP-5168-A instances collectively shush Janeson, and then resume previous behavior.) Janeson: (Silence, then whispering) What the fuck? (Janeson leaps over several SCP-5168-A lying in her path, she observes the fungal structures, and they observe her when eyes are present. Janeson enters the containment site.) CONTAINMENT ROOM — 23:54 (The cords of SCP-5168 continue to move vigorously. A humanoid entity with pale orange skin and no facial features emerges from the floor of the containment room, floating towards SCP-5168. Small orifices across its chest open periodically and release yellow spores. Several external wires from SCP-5168 appear attached to the base of its neck, while some wires still remain feeding into the ground. The entity makes typing motions slightly above the keyboard of SCP-5168, which causes a computer menu to appear on its screen. It rapidly types various strings of letters into this menu, the exact language of which are unknown. The ground tremors, and the entity spasms momentarily before resuming typing.) HALL TO CONTAINMENT ROOM — 23:57 (Janeson stumbles over several deceased SCP-5168-A instances. One suddenly grabs her leg and shushes her, causing her to stomp on its head instinctually. The head explodes into spores. Janeson covers her mouth and continues her way towards SCP-5168.) CONTAINMENT ROOM — 23:59 (Janeson enters the containment room, and the entity turns towards her. Janeson withdrawals her firearm.) Janeson: What— ? Get on the damn ground! (A mouth appears sideways on the entity's face. Janeson's mouth disappears, she drops her weapon and puts both hands over her lower face. The entity speaks in Jameson's voice.) Entity: Get on the damn ground! Go to sleep. (Janeson falls unconscious. Her mouth returns and the entity's mouth disappears. It promptly resumes typing. The entity presses on the keyboard's enter key, and multiple archaic sigils appear across the entire screen of SCP-5168, followed by it shutting down and promptly rebooting. The entity descends back into the floor.) FRONT YARD — 24:05 (The mouths on the fungal structures cease screaming, they morph into eyes, the eyes close. The structures slowly shrink back into the ground, which reseals itself. Surviving SCP-5168-A immediately stand and disperse towards multiple different target houses, as the screams of the fungal structures caused multiple children in the area to awake from nightmares.) <END LOG> Janeson's sudden loss of consciousness caused alerts to be sent to Foundation agents already responding to Kaden Noham's death. These agents requested further backup, and all SCP-5168-A instances were found and terminated accordingly. Janeson later made a mostly full recovery, except for acute dysgeusia2 and insomnia, which has yet to subside. Updates to the containment procedures for SCP-5168 are pending following this incident.

Special Containment Procedures: Fifty-one SCP-5169 instances are stored within a Safe class containment locker in Site-7. The remainder are in the possession of Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd., or potentially their clientele. Proposals regarding the use of SCP-5169 instances as assassination devices are pending. Description: SCP-5169 is a series of sex dolls, developed for commercial sale by Charles Maximune, an anartist and entrepreneur formerly employed by Marshall, Carter, and Dark, Ltd. Both male and female configured SCP-5169 instances are available, and may possess various accessories. Each SCP-5169 instance is physically indistinguishable from a comparable non-anomalous product. However, when used to climax by one or more human beings,1 SCP-5169 instances will spontaneously explode. Forensic examination of SCP-5169 detonations reveals no apparent chemical or other physical cause, suggesting that SCP-5169 instances function by ectoentropically generating explosive force. Addendum 5169-1: Discovery The SCP-5169 instances presently contained were recovered as part of a sting operation conducted by MTF Mu-3 ("Highest Bidders"), in order to confiscate any anomalous products possessed by Mr. Maximune. Initially, Mr. Maximune and any locations or persons he was known to be associated with were to be kept under surveillance until Director McBride2 gave the green light for his agents to take action. Home of Charles Maximune. However, on 3/9/2020, two weeks into surveillance, an explosion at Maximune's North Andover, Massachusetts residence called for immediate intervention. In the guise of FBI agents, Mu-3 personnel raided the house and confiscated all confirmed or suspected anomalies. One human corpse was recovered and identified as Maximune's romantic associate, Lawrence Kistler. Additionally, Marshall, Carter, and Dark security staff took Mr. Maximune into custody regarding an incident in their Quality Assurance Department. He was then fired and remanded to the Foundation for interrogation and amnesticization. Interviewer: Director Jacob McBride Interviewed: Charles Maximune Interviewer: What exactly was the nature of your work at MC&D? Interviewed: Well, I worked in anart acquisitions for a while. But that had nothing to do with why I got fired. Interviewer: Why did you get fired? Interviewed: It was the dolls. We had, uh, just received our shipment at London HQ. Testing was just starting up. The first tester, well, fucked one of them, and… boom. Chain reaction. Interviewer: I take it the damage was serious? Interviewed: You could say that. There is no more QA department at London headquarters. Interviewer: So, why do the dolls explode? Interviewed: Well, I can tell you that wasn't my fault. Dark gave me this project a few weeks ago, told me it would be convenient if we could move into the synthetic sex trade just like the real one, and that she wanted me to see what sorts of anomalous features we could give to regular inflatable dolls. The thing is, I had a lot on my plate when I was asked to take over. So I gave the work to someone else. Interviewer: Who? Interviewed: Some drug dealer operating out of the states. He was recommended to me by a colleague. Interviewer: And he made the dolls to explode when people… finished with them? Why? Interviewed: Well… maybe it was a little my fault. I told him I wanted "blow up dolls," and he's, well, not the most literate person. Interviewer: He thought you wanted lethal sex toys? Interviewed: Yeah. Like I said. Not the most literate. Interviewer: ...I think I know exactly who you're talking about. Footnotes 1. Testing with non-humans has yet to be carried out. 2. The intelligence chief in charge of Mu-3. Hi, I'm Max.

SCP-5171 | safe | by Rigen Item #: SCP-5171 Special Containment Procedures: All photonics processing and storage units associated with SCP-5171 and SCP-5171-A are to be vacuum-sealed and stored in secure containment lockers. Testing of SCP-5171 is currently suspended. Locating PoI-9414 has been assigned as a priority mission for MTF Alpha-7 ("Surpassing Tindalos"). Description: SCP-5171 is an artificial intelligence built by PoI-9414, formerly O5-9, as an administrative assistance and memetic screening system. SCP-5171 operated on a 3rd-gen photonics processing platform allocated for all Level 5 personnel at the time, with heavily modified interfaces. While these technologies are ahead of mundane equivalents, no part of SCP-5171 was inherently anomalous at the time of its creation. Originally designated Rhyme.aic, SCP-5171 had developed total self-awareness after PoI-9414 intentionally exposed it to a multitude of anomalous memetic agents, collectively designated SCP-5171-A. It is currently unknown how PoI-9414 acquired the skills necessary to create and utilize anomalous memetic agents in this way. While the Foundation retains a full copy of SCP-5171-A, the technical and ethical risk posed prohibits further experimentation. According to the log recovered after PoI-9414 defected from the Foundation (see Addendum 5171.A), SCP-5171 believed that it was a human female named "Rima", and that it had grown up with PoI-9414 since their childhood. Due to the mandatory data expungement procedure applied to the personal data of O5 members, this information cannot be confirmed. Addendum 5171.A: Log recovered from SCP-5171 interface cache, temporal metadata irretrievable. The format indicates a speech-recognition interface log. PoI-9414: Hello Rima, how are you today? SCP-5171: Hi, Galuh. I was wondering when you'll show up. PoI-9414: I'm so sorry, the meeting got late, I kept getting in arguments with those pesky fossils. SCP-5171: No, don't be. I shouldn't have talked to you like that, I know you're very busy, and it's for both of us. It's just that sitting here all day with nothing to do…it got me all grumpy, you know?1 PoI-9414: I know. I'm sorry, I wish I could've brought you outside. SCP-5171: Like I said, don't be sorry. None of this is your fault, I'm thankful that you had time to spend with me at all. PoI-9414: But I could've done more, if only I stopped trying to fight my way through every little thing. PoI-9414: If only I listened to your parents back then. SCP-5171: We're not having this conversation, Galuh. (Strings of periodic data pattern follows, with no known meaning. Presumed to be environmental noise falsely parsed as speeches by the interface.) SCP-5171: Do you remember when we watched meteor showers on the beach? PoI-9414: That was so long ago, I'm surprised that you still remember it. SCP-5171: There's no way I would forget. We spent a full roll of your dad's camera film. All those photographs, I could recall every single one of them as if it's yesterday.2 PoI-9414: I was so sure he'd be so angry at me. Those rolls were expensive. Instead, he started teaching me how to properly photograph a shooting star. SCP-5171: I tried to convince you that he won't be angry at us for using a camera to take pictures. But you're just so convinced he would. SCP-5171: Oh wow, he's not angry that you used something for its intended purpose, how surprising. PoI-9414: When do you think was the last time I started a conversation without fighting intent? SCP-5171: Other than with me? I'd wager a decade at least. PoI-9414: …okay I'm not that controversial. I could hold a somewhat proper and neutral conversation with my subordinates. SCP-5171: I wouldn't know, I never had any reason to meet them. SCP-5171: Not that I want to, mind you. But it just feels so bizarre thinking about you having just normal conversations about accounting or something. SCP-5171: Hell, I can't even imagine the Galuh arguing academically against a Board of Directors! PoI-9414: Yeah, I guess I changed quite a bit since way back then. SCP-5171: Me, on the other hand… PoI-9414: Sorry. SCP-5171: Sorry sorry sorry. Half your words are apology, over and over again. I didn't wake up just to hear you say sorry for days on end! PoI-9414: I… (brief periodic data/silence, gaps in noise pattern indicate removed data) PoI-9414: Did you meet the doctors today? SCP-5171: Nope, there's no test for today. I wonder if that means I'm getting better or getting worse.3 PoI-9414: Don't worry, we'll be out of this place in no time. SCP-5171: I wouldn't hold my breath. Footnotes 1. Of note, SCP-5171 had never ceased functioning as administrative assistance and memetic screening system, up until its deactivation upon PoI-9414's defection. 2. A large portion of SCP-5171-A incorporate photographs, often collages arranged in certain patterns. It is theorized that these photographs affected the memory retained by SCP-5171. 3. The nature and significance of these alleged "tests" and "doctors" is unknown. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5171" by Rigen, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5172 | keter | Item#: 5172 Level2 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: critical link to memo Special Containment Procedures: Social media, SMS, and telephone traffic are to be monitored for mention of "ice machines" from devices connected to hotel1 wi-fi networks within North America. Due to the prevalence of false memories related to SCP-5172, no attempt at correcting public beliefs pertaining to "hotel ice machines" is to be undertaken at this time. Research is focused on uncovering memes and anti-memes that may counter or remove such widespread false memories. Photograph taken by a test subject during a Zalmunna Event. Subject claimed that they were being observed by an unidentified individual obscured by the fifth door on the right. See file data for more information. Hover to enlarge. Click here to see full size. Containment is to focus on the detection and disruption of Zalmunna Events. See Addendum 2 for more information. MTF Mu-9 ("Weary Travelers") will be dispatched to the location of suspected Zalmunna Events in progress to remove detected instances of SCP-5172-1 and bring specimens back for further examination. All ice machines found at locations affected by SCP-5172 are to be removed and relocated to Site-30. Foundation personnel whose work requires them to stay in hotels in North America are to be briefed on SCP-5172. Personnel will be provided with the materials indicated in Addendum 4, "North American Hotel Protocol for Foundation Personnel." Description: SCP-5172 is a phenomenon that affects guests at North American hotels. Affected individuals will perceive a machine that serves the sole function of dispensing ice. These ice machines, while otherwise non-anomalous, are typically located in the hallway of the guest's floor, in close proximity to an elevator lobby or a storage closet. Ice machines are not common amenities in North American hotels; in fact, they do not appear in any contemporary hotels outside of those affected by SCP-5172. Nonetheless, a false memory of having perceived an ice machine is estimated to affect roughly 80% of the North American population. See Addendum 1 for more information. Individuals who perceive and then use these ice machines will initiate a Zalmunna Event. This is likely to cause an instance of SCP-5172-1 to materialize, and it is very likely to result in the individual's injury or death. Addendum 1. History of hotel ice machines. In the 1950s, Holiday Inn founder Kennon Williams attempted to distinguish his hotel chain from competitors by offering more amenities to travelers, free of charge. Standard practice among hotels at the time was to charge travelers an additional fee if they requested ice. Williams believed that leaving out an ice machine for guests to freely use would be a welcome amenity. The expense incurred by purchasing this equipment and other amenities2 was not offset by a sufficient increase in customers. As such, the practice was discontinued by the mid-1960s. Ice is now readily available in many North American hotels through in-room miniature refrigerator ice dispensers or included in ice trays. Using or consuming ice found in these contexts has not been shown to cause or have any connection to the SCP-5172 phenomenon. Despite the fact that hotel ice machines only existed for a brief period, members of the public in Canada, the United States, and Mexico widely hold the belief that these machines are ubiquitous to this day. Empirical testing has consistently demonstrated that hotel ice machines do not exist outside of those associated with SCP-5172. Only about 40 ice machines associated with the phenomenon are recovered per year. Yet a poll of the general public found that 82% of adults recalled memories of seeing a hotel ice machine. Of those who had stayed in hotels in the last year, 33% reported memories of having used said machines without incident.3 The source of these false memories, as well as their method of transmission, are still under investigation. Discovery: SCP-5172 was discovered in 1973 when Foundation personnel responded to what appeared to be a series of unsolved murders occurring at hotels in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Extensive testing inside of the hotels led researchers to discover the false memory related to ice machines. The investigation led to the placement of hidden cameras in each of the hotels' rooms; evidence collected here uncovered the connection between the ice machines, the SCP-5172 phenomenon, and Zalmunna Events. Addendum 2. Zalmunna Events. Initialization. The Zalmunna Event is triggered when a hotel guest (hereinafter "the target") perceives and subsequently uses a hotel ice machine.4 At this point, the only way to terminate the Event is to leave the building and sleep in a private residence.5 The ice does not actually need to be used or consumed for the Event to progress. Stalking behavior and/or hallucinations. The target will almost immediately begin to perceive an individual (or individuals) watching them from elsewhere in the hotel. Typically, these individuals first appear on the far end of the hallway where the Zalmunna Event was initiated. Third-party observers are unable to perceive any individuals observing the target. Attempts to seize, record, or photograph the individuals supposedly watching the target have not produced evidence of their existence. Accordingly, the "watchers" are believed to be hallucinations. Descriptions of the individuals are fragmentary and do not show any consistent traits. Confusion and fatigue. Within two hours of Event initialization, the target will display symptoms similar to those seen in early-stage dementia. If the target does not immediately return to their hotel room, they begin to demonstrate signs of confusion, difficulty completing everyday tasks, and short-term memory loss. After two hours have elapsed, the target also begins to feel a gradually increasing sense of fatigue. Within four hours of Event initialization, the fatigue typically reaches the point that it becomes difficult or dangerous for the target to perform activities such as driving or swimming. Zalmunna Event survivors report feeling as if their mind is "too active" to fall asleep anywhere other than in a hotel bed. This typically leads the target to seek out their hotel room. In spite of this sensation, the target is not compelled to follow this course of action. The target may still seek out a bed located in a private residence if they are aware it is an option. Targets will not fall asleep outdoors or in public places, but will experience the standard health consequences associated with increasing sleep deprivation. Targets can only fall asleep in hotels or private residences; if they do fall asleep in a private residence, the Event is terminated. (See Addendum 4). Sleep. When the target does reach a hotel bed, they immediately enter the hypnagogic state associated with the normal transitional period between wakefulness and sleep. Under normal conditions, the room's temperature begins to drop until it reaches approximately 11 degrees Celsius (51.8 degrees F). After a brief period of hypnagogia, the target proceeds as normal through the sleep cycle until they enter slow-wave sleep.6 This typically occurs within one hour of laying in bed. Appearance of SCP-5172-1. An instance of SCP-5172-1 appears after the target enters slow-wave sleep. It will generally phase through the door connecting the target's hotel room to the hallway. SCP-5172-1 is not perceptible to a person who is in the room with the target at the time of this entry, but can be observed through cameras and other devices. The target returns to the hypnagogic state, but is unable to move. This results in a condition resembling sleep paralysis. SCP-5172-1 crawls towards the bed on all fours before assuming a "sitting" position on the target's chest. SCP-5172-1 inserts a thin, proboscis-like appendage into one or both of the target's eye sockets for several seconds. This does not cause physical damage, but it is theorized to be a way for SCP-5172-1 to transmit a paralytic agent or other substance to the target's brain to aid in the harvesting process that follows. Harvesting behavior. After retracting the appendage, SCP-5172-1 opens its own chest cavity and retrieves a pair of unidentified tools. It then begins applying the tools and extracting cubes, measuring approximately 4 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm (1.57 inches), from the target's body. The cubes may consist of tissue, muscle, bone, semi-solid blood, or a combination thereof. SCP-5172-1 uses the tools in a "cutting and scooping" motion which appears to make all of these organic substances equally easy for it to collect; that is, bone is no more difficult to cut through than any other organic matter of the target. Each cube is placed into SCP-5172-1's open chest cavity before it repeats the process and collects another cube. The chest cavity is capable of containing more matter than its appearance would suggest. SCP-5172-1's motions during harvesting begin slowly, collecting cubes at a rate of about two per minute. It gradually increases its pace until it is collecting approximately 50 cubes per minute. SCP-5172-1 typically completes the harvesting process after two to three hours of activity. After completion, SCP-5172-1 returns to the hallway door and phases into it, dematerializing. Survival of Zalmunna Event: Restricted to Clearance Levels 4 and above only. + SECURITY LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE AND ABOVE ONLY - ACCESS GRANTED. Photograph of the remains of a target of a completed Zalmunna Event, recovered moments after the harvesting event concluded. Subject survived for two hours prior to expiration. After the harvesting process begins, SCP-5172-1 can be interrupted in order to prevent the death of its targets. (See Addendum 3). If the process is interrupted before SCP-5172-1 harvests a sufficient amount of any vital organs, targets can survive with limited (but permanent) injuries. Targets do not experience normal blood loss during the harvesting process, an effect that lasts for about six hours following the start of the process. Accordingly, prompt medical attention can allow targets who have been partially harvested to stabilize and recover. Individuals who have survived partial harvesting report being conscious and aware throughout the process. This experience is marked by an elevated heart-rate, difficulty breathing, and subjective feelings of terror. SCP-5172-1 collects all of the organic matter of the target except for the major elements of the central nervous system—the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, the retinas, the eyes, and the brain. In the case of a completed Zalmunna Event, these elements will be the only ones that are not removed as SCP-5172-1 "scoops" around them. Targets will continue to display signs of consciousness for longer than should be possible, even in the case of a completed Zalmunna Event. Should a harvesting process be interrupted after the target loses a vital organ, the target will live for one to two hours. Update - 2020-12-30. The proboscis-like appendage used before harvesting is no longer believed to be used to administer a paralytic agent. Repeated observation shows that targets already demonstrate symptoms of paralysis by the time an SCP-5172-1 instance materializes. Efforts are underway to explore the theory that the appendage is introduced in order to ensure that targets remain conscious throughout the process. Addendum 3. SCP-5172-1. SCP-5172-1 is an individual instance of a humanoid entity approximately 122 cm (48 inches) in height and 28.6 kg (63 lbs) in weight. Its arms are about twice the length of what would normally be expected of a human of these dimensions. It also has pronounced frontal and parietal bones, creating the appearance of an elongated forehead. The proboscis-like appendage measures approximately 90 cm (35.4 inches) and extends and retracts from the "mouth" on the instance's face. SCP-5172-1. Image captured by hidden camera during Zalmunna Event. If a Zalmunna Event is interrupted by an individual's sudden entry into the hotel room, the SCP-5172-1 instance will cease harvesting and attempt to attack the individual. Its strength is comparable to that of a human of its stature, but the tools that SCP-5172-1 uses during harvesting are capable of cutting through protective gear and causing serious injury. While it is not particularly strong, it is capable of moving at an advanced speed as it approaches the end of the harvesting process. Extreme caution is advised for personnel attempting to neutralize an SCP-5172-1 instance that has almost completed a harvesting process. If multiple people enter the room during the harvesting process, SCP-5172-1 will attempt to hide from sight. If it can escape the sight of all people in the room, the SCP-5172-1 instance will dematerialize. SCP-5172-1 has several biological systems analogous to that of humans. Accordingly, it can be killed through the application of force that would typically be lethal for humans, such as stabbing or gunshots. Autopsies of recovered specimens show that SCP-5172-1 has circulatory systems, though the central circulatory organ (akin to a heart) is located in the head. As a result, SCP-5172-1 can expire from "blood loss" or sufficient head trauma. SCP-5172-1 does not appear to have respiratory or digestive organs. Recovered instances may possess male or female reproductive organs. These organs are misshapen and diminutive, corresponding to symptoms of human hypogonadism. These organs are likely vestigial, having no role in the reproduction of SCP-5172-1 instances. Killing an SCP-5172-1 instance, but leaving an ice machine in a hotel under the effect of SCP-5172, means that future Zalmunna Events can still occur on the premises. Efforts to capture a live SCP-5172-1 instance have thus far been unsuccessful. Instances that do not have their hands bound are capable of spontaneously materializing their tools and cutting their way through containment chambers. Instances whose hands are bound or are otherwise rendered incapable of using its tools die within several minutes; similarly, the instance's tools disappear upon death. Research is underway regarding alternatives for close-up live study of SCP-5172-1 specimens. Addendum 4. North American Hotel Protocol for Foundation Personnel. Foundation personnel whose duties require them to stay in hotels are required to familiarize themselves with documentation surrounding SCP-5172. A log of confirmed SCP-5172 manifestations will be made available to personnel whose duties require regular hotel stays. All personnel staying in hotels will be given single-purpose communication devices for reporting suspected SCP-5172 phenomena. Awareness of SCP-5172 is not enough to avoid triggering a Zalmunna Event. Several Foundation personnel, as hotel guests, have found themselves "absentmindedly" using an ice machine, despite being fully aware of the consequences. Personnel who have triggered a Zalmunna Event must report it to Command immediately in order to receive instructions for extraction. Personnel are not permitted to return to their hotel rooms without express approval from Command. If feasible, personnel will be given directions to a nearby Foundation safe-house where they can fall asleep in a way that terminates the Zalmunna Event. As a final precaution, all personnel staying in hotels are required to wear heart-rate monitors at all times while on the hotel premises. In the event that personnel initiate a Zalmunna Event and are unable to notify Command prior to falling sleep, algorithmic detection of sudden increases in heart rate can be used to detect a Zalmunna Event in its early stages. Command will be notified of heart-rate irregularities and dispatch the nearest available MTF if personnel do not respond to communications. MTF response will occur in any situation where it is possible for a team to arrive prior to the completion of the Zalmunna Event. Update - 2021-1-11. As of 2021, one confirmed instance of SCP-5172 has been located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Foundation personnel have recovered an ice machine and human remains indicative of a completed Zalmunna Event. This is the first known instance of SCP-5172 to occur outside of North America. Notably, the Netherlands had no prior public perception of "ice machines" as a common hotel amenity. At present, it is unclear if this is an isolated incident or if it signals that the anomaly is in the process of spreading to other locations. All available Site-30 resources are being shifted into investigating the possible reasons for SCP-5172's spread. Countering or mitigating the spread is now considered highest priority for 5172 research team personnel. Footnotes 1. This effect also applies to motels; for the sake of simplicity, each mention of "hotels" should be understood to include motels, as well. 2. For instance, Mr. Williams did not charge extra for children, as was customary for hotels at the time. At one point, Mr. Williams also insisted on his franchises purchasing trampolines and making them freely available to his guests' families. This practice was discontinued after several children suffered serious injuries inside his hotels. 3. Margin of error ±3%. Sample size and questionnaire information available from 5172 Project Head upon request. 4. Statistical analysis suggests that Zalmunna Events occur to completion approximately 50 times per year. It is still unclear what causes an individual to perceive an ice machine in the first place, or what causes an ice machine to appear in a particular hotel. Due to the prevalence of false memories, there is no way of knowing how many individuals actually perceive a hotel ice machine connected to SCP-5172 but simply decline to use it. 5. The Zalmunna Event will still proceed if the target only relocates to a different hotel, or sleeps in a different bed in the same hotel. 6.

During this time, the object decayed in luminosity and size. On the 5th July 2020, a gravity wave was detected emanating from SCP-5173 indicating that the object had decayed and collapsed. SCP-5173 was declared neutralised to reflect the nature of this discovery. Addendum 5173.1: On 5th July 2020, it was discovered by the Deep Space Satellite Relay that the radio transmission intercepted by the Foundation had also been broadcast to another location. It was broadcast directly towards the constellation of Canis Minor, more specifically, the star Procyon. It is expected that the radio transmission will reach Procyon by late 2031. Foundation OrbSat PERIHELION has been redirected and its mission profile has been updated to continually monitor the Procyon stellar system for any evidence of biosignatures, radio transmissions, and other evidence of sentient life.

SCP-5174 | euclid | Brainwave analysis of SCP-5174 infection, spike at t=1.5 indicates botnet activation Item #: SCP-5174 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the irregular nature of the manifestations of SCP-5174, containment is to be focused on observation and investigation. Foundation employed scouts within neutral and pro-Foundation collectives are to report activity involving host abnormalities and rapid-onset hivemind collapse to MTF Omicron Rho ("The Dream Team") for inquiry. Physical sites of SCP-5174 generation are to be examined, then disassembled by Foundation security personnel. Instances of SCP-5174-1 are to be stored in standard object containment once decommissioned. Description: SCP-5174 is a brain-based bot network that is intended to terminate selected hosts in Oneiroi Space1. The mechanism of SCP-5174 involves the involuntary exploitation of "non-dreamers," in order to create a specific desired effect; of which the most common are tasks that require significant cognitive function to process. Note that victims of SCP-5174 are not actually accessing Oneiori dream worlds (such a process requires the completion of the Oneiori Joining Technique), rather their mental energy2 is rerouted to a central attacker who then focuses on a Oneiorific node. The transmission method of SCP-5174 is an autonomous drone (refered to as SCP-5174-1) which emits malicious, infected brainwaves to physically compromised individuals. The combined mental energy is then collated through SCP-5174-1 which then prepares SCP-5174 for activation. The amount of "non-dreamers" that are used for SCP-5174 is limited to the spatial distribution of SCP-5174-1 for that particular instance. In Oneiroi Space, the botnet manifests in several ways, the most common of which is as millions of SCP Foundation Researchers armed with glitter-guns. The intense cerebral load placed, often, kills the host of the collective and causes critical infrastructure loss for the dream group3 of that particular host. It is theorized that multiple varieties of SCP-5174 currently operate within Oneiori Space. However, the development of mobile collectives and "jumping" hosts within the noosphere in recent decades has made precise identification difficult. The first and most widespread variation known in Oneiori West4 as the "TFFS5 brain parasite," was dismantled in 2018. Before deconstruction, the first instance of SCP-5174 is believed to have killed 38 hosts and their associated collectives. The following is an abridged list of dreamworlds destroyed by this initial version of SCP-5174. Host Name: Imperator Aiaoai Zurchol Oiiit Hivemind Name: The Glorious Emirate of Oneiroi East Human Population #: ~15,000,000 Physical Location: Within a trashcan on the beach of Random Island, Canada Metaphysical Description: “The Glorious Emirate of Oneiroi East” was a uber-fantasy, low-concept hivemind that was the sister collective to Oneiroi West. Investigation showed that most of this particular collective was constructed of and worshipped the Daevite spirit "Hahgwehdaetgan. Circumstances Regarding Collapse: Imperator Oiiit, the host of “The Glorious Emirate of Oneiroi East,” received a message on 3/1/2018 detailing steps of an ultimatum to either shut down operations or to face complete destruction. According to after action reports, the ultimatum was attached to a manifesto describing the "cowardice of death" and "the strength of 'real' flesh." Oiit ignored the message and later that day the collective was shutdown by SCP-5174. Host Name: Real Name Unknown Hivemind Name: AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH (12 A's, 6 U's, 5 H's) Human Population #: ~??? Physical Location: Variable. The location of the hivemind would change depending on the visitor. The location would jump to the visitor's mother's brain. Metaphysical Description: “AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH” was an indetermined, high-concept collective that would alter itself depending on the mind that would enter it. The space within the collective would transform into a space resembling the inhabitant’s childhood. Infamous as a hideout for Daevite pacifists during the Third Occult War. Circumstances Regarding Collapse: Real Name Unknown, the host of “AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH,” was sent a similar ultimatum by SCP-5174. The attached manifesto was slightly altered and contained reference to "the unnatural lengthened lives led by dreamers who hang to their pasts." Host Name: SCP Foundation Dreamer Azmaray Marwat Hivemind Name: Sanctioned Site √-2 Human Population #: ██████████████████████████████████████████ Physical Location: Site-02 Metaphysical Description: Semi-infinite pink containment planet, often used for non-humanoid mental viruses. For more details, contact Foundation Dreamer Overseer Maider Berezi. Circumstances Regarding Collapse: Marwat received a message from SCP-5174, calling for help in their mission to "kill and destroy everything within all dream-worlds for the benefit of those tempted by its whispers and false bodies. None shall escape physical form." After Marwat responded with a reaffirmation of Foundation ideology to not harm anomalous entities, SCP-5174 invaded Site √-2 and collapsed the planet. Discovery: SCP-5174 was brought to the Foundation's attention by the "All Being’s Collective of Xiupania," which sent envoys into the dreams of various Foundation researchers. The message was the following pseudo-limerick. You are always a bad group. But we need some help, nincompoops! An evil thing has come. And will cause us to succumb. Hey dumbass, you will find the culprit in Guadeloupe. A team of Foundation security personnel was sent to Basse-Terre, the capital city of Guadeloupe. There it was discovered the brains of patients admitted to Vieux Habitants National Hospital were compromised by SCP-5174 and were being co-opted for the purposes of the central brain. The compromised individuals were de-anomalized through a severing of the forced Oneiorific connection. During the dismantling of the first SCP-5174 network, a document was found taped to a computer monitor.

SCP-5175 | safe | by J Dune SCP-5175 - DEATH KNIFE Image Credits ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item#: 5175 Level3 Containment Class: esoteric Secondary Class: integrated Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: danger link to memo SCP-5175 Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force Provisional Site-████ R. Joseph Barrow J. Thomas Dune Ω-5 "Damien's Angels" PoI-3445 upon initial interview session. Note the subject's 'backup knife' Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5175 is to be contained in anomalous item locker 5175, located at Area-179. Due to the symbiotic relationship between SCP-5175 and PoI-3445, as well as the beneficial nature of the anomaly, PoI-3445 has been integrated into the Foundation's internal command structure. Mobile Task Force Ω-5 "Damien's Angels" has been created to assist PoI-3445 in their missions, under the auspices of Project SECRET-SHOPPER. Upon authorization by Mobile Task Force Lieutenant Samuel Deangelo, PoI-3445 is to retrieve SCP-5175 for the purposes of carrying out missions assigned to them. Description: SCP-5175 is an ornate knife of Moroccan design and unknown origin. SCP-5175 displays no anomalous abilities when handled by an individual who is not symbiotically bound to the object. The criteria by which SCP-5175 becomes bound to a user is apparently under the discretion and personal favor of SCP-5175-1. Presently, PoI-3445 is the only individual capable of handling SCP-5175 in a way that manifests its anomalous properties. When handled by its host, SCP-5175 is capable of removing any form of life from baseline reality upon laceration. This effect has proven to be applicable to incorporeal beings who would otherwise have no physical presence. Upon piercing a target, a black mist will begin to emanate from the object. This mist will envelop the target, causing them to disappear. According to unverifiable information provided by SCP-5175-1 and PoI-3445, victims of SCP-5175 are transported to an unknown extradimensional space that has been colloquially referred to as "The Realm of Unsaved Souls", "Land of the Forsaken Suffering", and "Kanashī Ringo no Akuma no Ryōiki"1. SCP-5175-1 is a being that claims to be the consciousness of Kuroitanken Hanzo, a Japanese samurai who, according to the entity, was born in 1800, and served as a supporter of the Imperial Court in the Boshin War.2 When SCP-5175 is handled by its host, SCP-5175-1 will manifest itself as an animate ethereal figure that hovers above or near the subject. SCP-5175-1's physical appearance is that of a human skeleton wearing a suit of black and purple dō-maru armor. SCP-5175-1's silhouette constantly emanates black mist, similar to the vapor produced by the object itself. SCP-5175-1 is capable of communicating with its host, regardless of apparent language barriers. Likewise, a host is capable of comprehension of SCP-5175-1's speech, despite being spoken in 19th century Japanese. SCP-5175-1 is capable of interacting with physical objects. PoI-3445 is Damien Lawrence Woodcock, a resident of Scranton, Pennsylvania. PoI-3445 was a security officer who had been employed for 8 years at The Marketplace at Steamtown3. PoI-3445 exhibits no anomalous characteristics, but is considered integral to the containment and handling of SCP-5175 due to being the only individual SCP-5175-1 agrees to work with. PoI-3445 has been integrated as a Foundation employee as a part of Project SECRET-SHOPPER, and currently operates as a specialized Foundation agent. See addenda for further detail. Addendum.5175.1: Discovery ▶ACCESS ADDENDUM◀ ▷CLOSE◁ Cutlery Collection, the discovery site of SCP-5175 According to PoI-3445's personal accounts, SCP-5175 was discovered on 2009/8/03, at 'Cutlery Collection', a storefront located at The Marketplace that specializes in the sale of edged weapons. PoI-3445 reported hearing the voice of SCP-5175-1, urging him to enter the store and purchase the object. Over a period of two months, PoI-3445 became familiar with handling SCP-5175 through the construction of a 'training ground' in the woods behind his parents' residence. As such, PoI-3445 has attained cursory skill in knife combat. It is during this time period in which PoI-3445 and SCP-5175-1 developed their relationship. On 2009/10/27, PoI-3445 attempted to use SCP-5175 in an altercation with a shoplifter, resulting in the appearance of SCP-5175-1. While the event occurred in public, the low traffic of the shopping center resulted in only a handful of witnesses. Amnestics were administered as appropriate, and PoI-3445 was detained by local law enforcement before being brought into Foundation custody. ▷CLOSE◁ Addendum.5175.2: Interview Log ▶ACCESS ADDENDUM◀ ▷CLOSE◁ AUDIO LOG DATE: 2009/10/27 »BEGIN LOG« Dr. Trenton: You look a little tense, Mr. Woodcock. There's a cooler out back if you need a water or something. I understand this is… a lot to take in at once. PoI-3445: (Distressed) This is some Men In Black shit. Please, all I'm asking is for an easy hearing. I can't do mind games, I can't do another interrogation. Dr. Trenton: Mind if I call you Damien? Damien, we're not here to arrest you. That already happened. And you're clean, at least with the law. We just want to ask you some questions. PoI-3445: Did you call my parents? Dr. Trenton: I — erm, no, we didn't call your parents. PoI-3445 sighs and rubs his hands over his face. PoI-3445: Thank god. Okay, okay. I guess you wanna know about DEATH KNIFE, right? I'm assuming the ghost knife is why the Men in Black would kidnap me. You want the Kai version or the Z version? Dr. Trenton: What? PoI-3445: Short or long. It's a reference, god. Dr. Trenton: Yeah, references aren't my strong suit. From the beginning, please. Take as much time as you need. PoI-3445: Alright, so, I'm a mall security guard. Have been for the past 8 years. I've always had an interest in, like, weapons and stuff. I have my uncle's katana hanging over my bed, and I do pretty cool knife tricks sometimes. Watch this — PoI-3445 brandishes an ordinary kitchen knife from his sweater pocket, and stabs it into the table. Dr. Trenton: (Distressed) Where the hell did you get that? I thought they frisked you. PoI-3445: Backup knife. I always keep it on me. I can make it balance on any surface. PoI-3445 removes his hand from the knife, it stands upright. Dr. Trenton: Can — Can you just continue the story? PoI-3445: Anyways, yeah. I like weapons and stuff. There's this really cool store at the mall called Cutlery Collection. I make sure to check every shipment they get in if they have anything I want. I was doing that, and I saw this sick Japanese knife. I heard this voice in my head telling me I had the resolve of a warrior, and that I had to buy it. I freaked out really bad, but it was so badass. Like something out of the first chapter of a manga. That's Japanese for — Dr. Trenton: I'm aware, Damien. PoI-3445: Oh, what have you read? Dr. Trenton: No, I — please continue. PoI-3445: Alright, so I bought it. When I got home, the voice told me to grip the knife in a certain way. Like this. PoI-3445 picks up the knife from the table and gestures using it. PoI-3445: And then this fuckin' metal skeleton guy wearing Shinobi armor came out. If you've ever seen JoJo, he's kind of like a stand. He told me his name was Hanzo, and he was an ancient samurai ghost. He said he chose me as a host because of my insatiable blood lust, knowledge of his culture, military background, and years of combat experience. It was so goddamn cool. Dr. Trenton: Your service record says that you went AWOL one month into basic training. PoI-3445: You can learn a lot in a month. Dr. Trenton: Years of combat experience? PoI-3445: Well, I eventually figured out he was talking about how good I am at certain video games. Like, you ever hear of Assassins Creed? I learned a lot of street tactics from that. I've also done legendary on Halo 3 four times. I showed him my skills for a week straight, just playing games and watching anime together. He thought it was magic, and that I was fighting in other worlds, or something. I kind of just let him think that, because it was kinda badass. Dr. Trenton: Can you elaborate more on this entity? PoI-3445: Hanzo's, like, 800 years old or something. After he was confident enough that I was a suitable host, he told me his tragic backstory. A witch-woman from a foreign land came to Japan a long time ago, and started blowing shit up with her magic! So Hanzo and a bunch of his ninja students had to fight her, but she killed them all. Hanzo felt so guilty that he begged her to kill him on the spot. Instead, she sealed his soul to her cursed blade, and locked it away in a chest. Things move over the years, blah, blah, blah, and eventually DEATH KNIFE ends up in the mall I work at! Dr. Trenton: I'm assuming DEATH KNIFE is the name of the blade. PoI-3445: I came up with it myself! It's spelled in all caps, so put that on your clipboard. I call it that because the blade completely kills anything it touches completely! Dr. Trenton: And let me clarify, you haven't used… the object prior to today's incident, right? PoI-3445: Hanzo told me what it would do, but no, I never used it before today. He said that whoever is pierced by the blade is sent to the Land of the Forsaken Suffering, like the Shadow Realm from Yu-Gi-Oh! It's a forsaken dimension of shadows and suffering! If his blade doesn't relinquish 1,000,000 lives to the Realm of Unsaved Souls, he'll never be free from his metal prison. He needed my help to do that, and to reclaim his honor by teaching a student once again. Dr. Trenton: And how did you feel about this? PoI-3445: I thought it was a badass backstory and all but it was way too much for me. 1,000,000 souls is a lot of souls, and I genuinely don't have time to do all that. I tried to tell him I could, like, teach him to be good at Space Hulk instead, but he was insistent on training me. I think it was to make up for the students he failed hundreds of years ago. Dr. Trenton: And you accepted the entity's training? PoI-3445: Can we talk about this more tomorrow? I'm really tired. Dr. Trenton: Uh, sure, Damien. My team's going to run some tests on the object anyways. We'll pick up where we left off in the morning. PoI-3445: Can I have my phone back? Dr. Trenton puts his hand up to his ear, pressing his communication device. Dr. Trenton: I'm afraid not. And, we're done. You can put away the Class-Bs, we won't need them. PoI-3445: I have to get a daily log-in bonus. Can I have it back for just for a second? Dr. Trenton gets up from his seat. Dr. Trenton: We're done for the night. Hand over the backup knife on the way out. »END LOG« Researcher's Note: Subject demonstrated an almost unheard of level of acceptance and confidence despite being an ordinary citizen in an anomalous situation. I'm not sure whether to attribute it to stupidity or legitimate fortitude. Still, there's a slight issue. Considering PoI-3445 was in possession of SCP-5175 for a period of over two months, as well as corresponding with SCP-5175-1 during that time, regular amnestics aren't going to work here. Subject is currently being detained in Cell C007 until a specialized amnestic treatment can be agreed upon. Interviews continue tomorrow. Perhaps consideration for a D-Class position? - Dr. Trenton ▷CLOSE◁ Addendum.5175.3: Interview Log II ▶ACCESS ADDENDUM◀ ▷CLOSE◁ AUDIO LOG DATE: 2009/10/28 »BEGIN LOG« Dr. Trenton enters the room where PoI-3445 had been waiting and takes a seat. PoI-3445: Ohayou, Trenton-san. Dr. Trenton: (Pauses) Uh, morning, Damien. PoI-3445: That bed sucked. Dr. Trenton: I’m very sorry about that. We ran some tests on the object last — PoI-3445: On DEATH KNIFE? Dr. Trenton: Yeah, on… the knife. For whatever reason, we’re unable to trigger its anomalous properties. It’s just an ordinary blade. PoI-3445: Well duh, you can’t do anything with it. Hanzo only comes out when I use it. That’s why I’m the host. (Laughs) I thought you guys were supposed to be smart! Dr. Trenton: We figured that out. I was just informing you that, depending on approval from the research head, you might have to undergo testing. PoI-3445: Like, dangerous testing? Don’t I have to sign something for that? Dr. Trenton: (Laughs) Not here. It won’t be anything too bad. Using the object on animal subjects, allowing us to speak with the entity. Don’t worry about it for now. Want to pick up from last night? PoI-3445: Oh, right. I was talking about how Hanzo wanted to train me. I tried distracting him with more games, because technically I was training competitively, but he started getting super serious. Hanzo only activates when I wield DEATH KNIFE, so I threw it in the back of my closet and left it there for a week. Dr. Trenton: Was this out of fear or apathy? PoI-3445: I just didn’t have time to train! It was cool he chose me and all but I already have — I mean, I know how to use a weapon. If the situation called for it, I could disarm a man. Trenton coughs, clearly holding back laughter. Dr. Trenton: Excuse me. (Pause) What drew you back to the object? PoI-3445: I was leaving work one day, and I — wait, I haven’t told you about Emily yet. She works at Auntie Anne's, the pretzel place. She’s this really hot goth girl — more Lydia Deetz than one of those pathetic Ramona Flowers pastel scene kids. Like, she listens to The Cure instead of some shitty pop punk garbage like post-American Idiot Green Day. You know what I mean? Dr. Trenton: No. PoI-3445: Alright, well I’ve been trying to talk to her for years now. That’s besides the point. I was leaving work, and I saw some dude breaking into Emily’s car. I went for DEATH KNIFE, but I was like, shit, it’s at home. It didn’t matter though, because I immediately rushed him and started beating the shit out of him. Like, when I get mad — I lose all composure and see red, man. I see red. Dr. Trenton: You stopped car theft? PoI-3445: I didn’t actually stop him. Like, he took some stuff, but I went crazy for a second. He lost 3 teeth, and there was blood everywhere. Emily was so thankful. After that, I realized I need to start training. I had this awesome gift in my hands and I was letting it go to waste. Dr. Trenton: Let me stop you. You learned how to handle the knife… because you successfully stopped a robbery? PoI-3445: I beat the guy up. I realized I could reach my full potential if I became Hanzo’s student. Dr. Trenton: Are you sure that’s what happened? This is a judgement-free zone, Damien. PoI-3445: Yeah. Silence. Dr. Trenton: Carry on. PoI-3445: There's a lot of bad people in this world, and I realized I could do some good with this thing. I apologized to Hanzo for leaving him in my closet, and he took it pretty well. As punishment, he said he was going to be relentless in my training, but he was glad I agreed. At first we were in the woods behind my house, but I got my dad to help build specialized training devices. Soon I had the whole place loaded with traps, test dummies, and targets. Dr. Trenton: Your parents, do they know about the entity? PoI-3445: Obviously not. What’s the point in having a secret ability if it’s not a secret? I told you, I’m going for the full experience here. Dr. Trenton: Right, I forgot. PoI-3445: Over the next couple weeks, Hanzo put me through the wringer. He’s a bit of an asshole, and I disagree with a lot of his teaching methods, but he’s improved my ability to fight tenfold, which is impressive considering my natural aggression. I was decent before with a knife, but now I can do some serious damage. If you give me the other knife back I can sh — Dr. Trenton: No can do. What type of training did you perform with Hanzo? PoI-3445: How to throw, basic fighting stances, doing backflips by having him lift me up. I’m pretty much combat ready at this point. You know what happens next. I catch a shoplifter, Hanzo does his thing, and then I'm arrested. Dr. Trenton: What was going through your head there? What was the best possible way that scenario could’ve played out? PoI-3445: I was trying to impress Emily. I made sure to get him right in front of Auntie Anne's. Then I remembered it was Tuesday, and she was off. I don't know, I just really wanted to do something good for once. I've been working there for 8 years. There's a whole mall out there to protect, and I've never done that once. Dr. Trenton: Interesting. Well, my request to reintroduce the object to you should be approved by tomorrow. Would you believe me if I said this wasn’t my first time interviewing an 200-year-old samurai? PoI-3445: Seriously? Dr. Trenton: (Laughs) No, but I'm looking forward to it.

Been busy the past week. The tests earlier went well. Let's get the interview underway, hm? PoI-3445: Fukōda to omowanaide4. Dr. Trenton: Yep. I'm going to hand you the object. You're able to act as a translator? PoI-3445: Of course. Our bond is like steel folded a thousand times, doctor. Dr. Trenton hands SCP-5175 to PoI-3445. Subject's pupils dilate. SCP-5175-1 appears, hovering behind PoI-3445. The entity begins speaking in its local dialect as PoI-3445 translates. Extraneous dialogue detailing the translation process has been removed. Dr. Trenton: Mr. Kuroitanken? SCP-5175-1: 'I understand I have been awoken for the purpose of questioning. Again, I thank you for returning me to my host.'5 Dr. Trenton: Of course. I only have a few questions. Can you verify the account Damien gave about your soul being bound to the object? SCP-5175-1: 'Yes. Yes, I can. While most men I fought against in the war were of my own nation, the shogunate would make use of mercenaries from far away lands, some of whom possessed unnatural abilities. An accursed girl who has apparently been lost to the ages sealed me away hundreds of years ago. Pay her no mind. I do not wish to speak of her, but know this. It is because of her curse that I am bound to the fulfillment of the Land of Forsaken Suffering. If I do not relinquish 1,000,000 lives to the Realm of Unsaved Souls, I can never leave my prison. This is why I must fight. This is why I require my host.' Dr. Trenton: And has Damien used the object in this way? How many souls has he claimed? SCP-5175-1: 'One raccoon. I told him it was needlessly cruel but Damien was insistent on seeing how it worked.' PoI-3445: I didn't believe you! I said I was sorry! Dr. Trenton: Why Damien? Why choose him over everyone else? Especially to the point where you refuse to cooperate with anyone else. Surely there are more capable fighters? PoI-3445: What does that mean? I fight perfectly fine! SCP-5175-1: 'I sensed Damien's thirst for blood the moment I inhabited the marketplace. His strong moral code, his experience with sorcery. I felt it all, and I called to him. He is the vessel I require to navigate these uncertain waters.' PoI-3445: Told you. SCP-5175-1: 'For awhile, I thought I had made a mistake. I may be blind in this new world, but I am not a fool. While your knowledge of the arts and cultures of my homeland and mastery in the commonplace magics impressed me, I slowly realized that your simulated games are exactly that - games. What I interpreted as the heart of a warrior was instead a sheet of sorcery pulled over my head. I sensed something else, the desire to contribute something of worth to someone else's life. Death alone make not a samurai. This is why I stayed with you.' PoI-3445: I mean, the games kind of helped me. And you even enjoyed them! You liked all the shows we watched too. SCP-5175-1: 'That I did. Your conjuring of moving drawings that act as if they were players on a stage has provided me with great insight and enjoyment.' Dr. Trenton: I'm assuming you're talking about cartoons. SCP-5175-1 brandishes a sword and points it at Dr. Trenton. Trenton jumps back in shock. Dr. Trenton: Whoa—! SCP-5175-1: 'Damien insists you refer to them as their proper name — anime.' Dr. Trenton: Anime. My apologies, Mr. Kuroitanken. (Clears throat) That still doesn't answer my question. SCP-5175-1: 'Because I have not reached that point yet. Damien's fighting spirit came from his resilience and fortitude during training. It was his drive to overcome his desires to constantly lounge and engage in games all day that has earned him respect. What I interpreted as fighting experience from his simulated magic was instead a deep-rooted drive to acclimate to a new environment. While Damien may not be a capable fighter by any means, he is an exceptional student, and has the heart required to succeed as one.' Silence. PoI-3445: (Pause) Wow, thank you. That's probably the best compliment anyone's ever given me. SCP-5175-1: 'You have proven yourself, above all else, to be a worthy and honorable host, Damien Woodcock. I am glad to have chosen you.' »END LOG« Researcher's Note: Interview continued for another half hour. Mostly confirming PoI-3445's claims about SCP-5175-1 and gaining new information regarding the specifics of the object. Forwarding results to research head. There are a number of ways we can tackle this. Earlier testing with the object has proven PoI-3445's incompetence with a weapon, but what you have in mind doesn't exactly require much skill. - Dr. Trenton ▷CLOSE◁ Addendum.5175.5: Project Proposal: SECRET-SHOPPER ▶ACCESS ADDENDUM◀ ▷CLOSE◁ PROJECT PROPOSAL: SECRET-SHOPPER Dr. J. Thomas Dune Project Overview: SECRET-SHOPPER is an attempt to expand the research potential of SCP-5175. As operating on human subjects is inhumane and resource-intensive, an alternative is proposed involving SCP-████. The primary benefits of this project are the solution to a longstanding annoyance for our personnel, as well as an opportunity to test SCP-5175 in an effective way. Of course, considering the nature of SCP-5175-1, this would require employing PoI-3445 as a specialized Foundation operative. I've already worked out the paperwork with recruitment. PoI-3445 will not be assigned any tasks outside of their weekly operations under Project SECRET-SHOPPER, which exists solely to combat the excess of SCP-████-A. Lieutenant Samuel Deangelo and a proposed small-scale task force under the name Ω-5 "Damien's Angels" has agreed to oversee PoI-3445 and their assignments. Overall, this would be an extremely limited and controlled environment. I've attached a summarized file regarding SCP-████ below. I believe my reasoning will become evident. The interior of SCP-████ Item #: SCP-████ Special Containment Procedures: All entrances to SCP-████ have been sealed. Research is currently underway to determine a method of SCP-████-A extermination. Description: SCP-████ is a building known as the Prism Center, a former shopping mall located in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. SCP-████ demonstrates zero anomalous properties beyond its ability to create SCP-████-A. Approximately 15 SCP-████-A instances are generated inside SCP-████ daily. SCP-████-A are hostile, ethereal figures resembling horned humanoid silhouettes, officially classified as Type-Yodh Faustian-Class Tartarian entities. SCP-████-A possess an anomalous resistance to nearly all types of weaponry typically used in the extermination of similar entities. There are no other discernible anomalous properties of SCP-████-A, providing little incentive for further research. There is no current method of containment for these entities. Usual Faustian containment methods such as occult weaponry, thaumaturgy, and theological invocation have failed. Presently, SCP-████ contains 27,375 SCP-████-A instances. Afterword: Despite SCP-5175's short testing window, I have reason to believe the object will be the solution to our problems regarding the rapid and unending creation of SCP-████-A. There have been multiple incidents over the past three years involving attempted trespass into SCP-████. SCP-████ has long been regarded as a location of low priority, but I disagree. Having this many entities with limited research potential endlessly spawning in one location is a ticking Veil bomb waiting to explode. The sooner we're able to clean out the place, the better. Please consider Project SECRET-SHOPPER for approval. - Dr. Dune Notice from Area-179 Director Joseph R. Barrow: STATUS RE: PROJECT SECRET-SHOPPER APPROVED Proposal approved. Please forward all documentation to the appropriate parties. ▷CLOSE◁ Addendum.5175.6: Performance Overview ▶ACCESS ADDENDUM◀ ▷CLOSE◁ INCIDENT LOG DATE: 2009/12/25 Forward: Over one month into the operation of Project SECRET-SHOPPER, PoI-3445 has demonstrated capabilities far exceeding expectations. The change in combat ability from their first assignment to the latest is astounding. The number of entities residing inside SCP-████ has decreased from 27,375 to approximately 14,000. Visual recordings of these weekly extermination missions are available upon request. The most recent operation, occurring on 2009/12/25, has been transcribed below as a cumulative performance overview of PoI-3445, and the effectiveness of Project SECRET SHOPPER. »BEGIN LOG« Four MTF operatives open the skylight entrance to SCP-████. They begin to lower themselves to the ground using a pulley system. PoI-3445 forgoes a rope and dives head first into the building, brandishing SCP-5175. SCP-5175-1 materializes, holding PoI-3445 by the shoulders and cushioning his fall. PoI-3445 lands upright, directly in the center of one of the mall's water fountains. Several SCP-████-A instances approach. PoI-3445: Prepare to be vanquished by DEATH KNIFE, bitches! PoI-3445 runs up to an entity and pierces the being with SCP-5175. The entity disappears. Another entity attempts to jump PoI-3445 from behind, but is stopped by SCP-5175-1. PoI-3445 swiftly turns around and wounds the entity. Lt. Deangelo: Damien, watch your flank! Two entities leap towards PoI-3445. In a swooping motion, PoI-3445 pierces both of them. The MTF Team begins to cover PoI-3445, scouting the surrounding area for entities. The team moves into a food court area. PoI-3445 gestures for the team to slow down. PoI-3445: Halt. I'm familiar with this terrain. Suddenly, a large SCP-████-A instance bursts from behind the nearby salad-bar. PoI-3445 performs an SCP-5175-1 assisted back flip, avoiding the small amount of debris. PoI-3445 reaches the ground, and charges the entity. As he pierces the being with SCP-5175, four entities drop from the ceiling. Lt. Deangelo: Damn it, they're getting smarter! An entity leaps onto PoI-3445's back before disappearing, as PoI-3445 held SCP-5175 backwards in anticipation of the attack. PoI-3445: A fitting end for demon scum. And for the rest of you? PoI-3445 throws SCP-5175 into the air. SCP-5175-1 catches the object and fires it from its palm like a projectile. The object pierces all three entities in succession, causing them each to disappear. PoI-3445: Kuchi no naka de kinō shinai burēdo no watashi no aji6. With the assistance of SCP-5175-1, PoI-3445 vaults over a gate, rushing a large cache of entities in the distance. PoI-3445 disposes of them with ease. »END LOG« Researcher's Note: Mission continued uninterrupted for three more hours. Extraneous portions are available upon request. Number of SCP-████-A instances exterminated during the 2009/12/25 assignment totals at 666, an intentionally consistent record with PoI-3445. ▷CLOSE◁ Footnotes 1.

Times Square prior to the manifestation of SCP-5176. Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force Provisional Outpost-86/Site-35 Dr. John Percles Dr. Jason Bumont N/A Fig 1.2. The sole Little Caesars franchise located near Times Square, New York: the epicenter of the SCP-5176 manifestation. Special Containment Procedures: While SCP-5176 is virtually imperceivable to baseline humans, current Foundation efforts regarding the anomaly are targeted at obscuring SCP-5176 from the minority of individuals possessing the prerequisites which would permit interaction with it. Class-3 Vectronic Meme Counters (VMCs)1 fashioned in a way to blend in with their environments have been established within SCP-5176's area of effect to constantly monitor the antimemetic resistance indexes of all humans within the area. Should an individual with a resistance level at or exceeding 4.5 AMQs be present, an automated system has been configured to alert Foundation field operatives within Provisional Outpost-862 — wherein they can be removed from the location in addition to being administered amnestics when deemed appropriate. Description: SCP-5176 designates an anomalous transfigurative event affecting Times Square in Manhattan, New York. Beginning on March 15th, 2020, over the course of 5 days, all structures within the area were converted into a conglomerative superstructure possessing Greco Roman architecture and features correlating to the Little Caesars Pizza3 brand. SCP-5176 is comprised primarily of structural items/materials emblazoned with Little Caesars' branding, orange and white coloration, and food products produced by the company. For example: a common item found within SCP-5176 are fountains made entirely of 'Crazy Bread' and cycle a liquified cheese substance in lieu of water. In general, the complex is reminiscent of palaces constructed during the height of the Roman Empire. While expansive, SCP-5176 itself is self-concealing. The anomaly possesses a mild antimemetic filter rendering humans with an antimemetic resistance level of less than 4.5 incapable of perceiving the anomalous qualities that have since overcome the locale. Presently, it is the belief that the manifestation of SCP-5176 is a result of an ontokinetic entity hereafter regarded as SCP-5176-1. It is theorized to be located within a former Little Caesars franchise in the center of SCP-5176: the apparent structure from which the viral spread of SCP-5176 originated from. As of this writing, no further knowledge pertaining to this entity is available. Fig 1.3. Mr. Barker upon initial recovery by Foundation agents. Discovery: SCP-5176 was discovered by Foundation operatives embedded within local law enforcement after George Barker, a homeless individual living in the area, began a rampage throughout Times Square. He claimed that the government had 'been co-conspiring with the Capitalists and Big Pizza' in an attempt to strip individuals of economic mobility and freedom. After being admitted to a local psychiatric facility for evaluation, it was discovered that the man did not suffer from any discernible mental ailments. Because of this, Foundation field agents became aware of this and began an investigation; upon analysis of the area via the use of a GAD,4 the anomalous attributes of SCP-5176 were discovered, and containment protocols were enacted. Addendum-5176.1 INTERVIEW LOG/SCP-5176-1 INITIAL ENCOUNTER ▶ ACCESS ADDENDUM ◀ ▷ NOW ACCESSING FILE ◁ Foreword: On 3/30/20, attempts to contact SCP-5176-1 in its believed location was approved by Site-35's Directional Command as further research determined that SCP-5176-1's reality-altering abilities were not potent enough to cause widespread devastation should the entity become hostile during the encounter. To accomplish this, Agent Jackson Walker, a specialist in dealing with ontokinetic and spectral anomalies with an antimemetic resistance of 5.0, was assigned to carry out the mission. [BEGIN LOG] [Agent Walker is visible performing routine checks on his equipment outside of the designated entrance: a marble archway with columns connected at both sides. "Little Caesars Hot And Ready" is painted upon the keystone. Gold leafing is present at various points around the visible portion of the complex.] WALKER: Check, check. Alright. Command, everything's in order. Am I clear to begin insertion? COMMAND: Everything seems good to go on our end. Readings from the Kant Counters show the local Humes to be only slightly above baseline. Let's hope it stays that way. You're clear to proceed. WALKER: Affirmative. Beginning entry now. [Upon initial entry by Agent Walker, there are carvings seen in the pale-grey stone walls depicting a masculine, short statured individual with numerous lacerations staring down on a scene of ruin; environment seems to be topographically similar to the Italian peninsula. After the insinuation of a long period of time, the same figure, crying, stares at broken tapestries and buildings. The final tapestry, showing the apparent life of the individual, is engulfed mostly in what appears to be cheese.] [12 minutes of extraneous traversal removed.] WALKER: Command, looks like we've got something. COMMAND: You should be nearing SCP-5176-1's locale. Continue with caution. WALKER: (Whisper) Got it. [The agent moves forward in the corridor which empties out into an elaborate throne room. The walls are lined with globules of a glowing, semi-solid substance connected to individual breadsticks — keeping the room lit. In the far corner of the room, a humanoid figure is vaguely visible. As the agent moves closer, it is revealed to be masculine in build, and comprised entirely of a substance visually identical to Little Caesars' Pretzel Crust Pizza. It wears a toga made of shredded cardboard, and its face displays a look of discontentment. The being is looking out of a makeshift window at another portion of the structure; it does not immediately notice the agent.] WALKER: Umm… hello? [Agent Walker gestures slightly to get the entity's attention without startling it.] SCP-5176-1: Ah- g— for the life of Zeus… you've frightened me. What business do you have in my holy quarters, child? WALKER: My deepest apologies. I've come to ask about… all of this. What is it for? [Agent Walker gestures his hands towards to room at large.] [The entity sighs.] SCP-5176-1: It's what's left of my legacy. I used to rule over a vast empire, you know? Far and wide, everyone adored me. I was proclaimed a hero; I protected my people, threw them bread, everything. Until… it all ended so, so early. WALKER: I see. And… what exactly does this have to do with 'Little Caesars'? Why have you created this place the way it is- SCP-5176-1: I wasn't finished speaking! WALKER: … SCP-5176-1: Not even after my body had grown cold, they'd started to twist and corrupt my name and my image. Everyone made a mockery of me for centuries. They made crude jokes and puns about me: a once-great ruler. I thought it couldn't get worse, and then those two fools created "Little Caesars Pizza." That… abomination. How dare they take the title of Caesar and use it to promote their grossly priced "Pizza"?! I mean, look at me! Pretzel Crust?! What kind of caloric debauchery is this madness?! Not only that, but have you ever actually placed that foul rubbish into your mouth? WALKER: I can't say I have, Mr… Caesar. SCP-5176-1: Oh, then let me tell you! The cheese is stringer than rope and doesn't melt in the slightest, the sauce tastes of watered-down ketchup, and the crust! Oh, the crust: it tastes not like cardboard, worse than it! I'd rather indulge in consumption of shoes than the trash they sell for $5.00. Certainly, nothing to adorn with the title of 'Caesar'! Quite frankly, this whole thing makes me sick. I got murdered by 23 assailants… and this is how I go down in the minds of the masses: just a damn fast-food mascot. They could have at least named something good after me… WALKER: Wow, I… really don't know what to say. I'm sorry to hear about your afterlife going up in flames like… that. If you really want to have something better named after you, I think I may be able to help, so long as you promise me one thing… [END LOG] Afterword: Shortly after the conclusion of SCP-5176-1's monologue, Agent Walker was able to calm the entity under the promise that he would create a new dish in its name according to its tastes in exchange that it de-manifest from the physical plane. Upon being informed that a salad had just been named after it that was widely popular and would bring about the fall of the Little Caesars chain,5 SCP-5176-1 along with SCP-5176 de-manifested entirely. ▷ NOW ACCESSING FILE ◁ Reclassification to Neutralized pending approval by the Classifications Committee.

SCP-5177 | safe | Provisional Site-347 Item #: SCP-5177 Special Containment Procedures: The land surrounding SCP-5177 has been bought and fenced off by Foundation front group "Montepalle-DeBiers Ecological Trust" under the pretense of preserving the habitat of a critically endangered species of owl. No non-Foundation personnel are to be allowed onto the land, which has been designated Provisional Site-347. Researchers of Level 2 Clearance or above who wish to study SCP-5177 may do so with the permission of the Director of Provisional Site-347 (currently Dr. MacPherson). A candle is to be burning at all times at the centre of SCP-5177. Description: SCP-5177 is a former Imperial Japanese Anomalous Matters Examination Agency (IJAMEA) underground complex located on █████ Mountain in rural Oregon. SCP-5177 contains 3km of hand-dug dirt tunnels, earthen living areas, and camouflaged bunkers. SCP-5177 was originally surrounded by many lethal and non-lethal traps, some designed to retain prisoners. At the time of containment, SCP-5177 was saturated with a variety of demonologically bound Yokai entities, which have since been exorcised. The techniques used to create these bindings are well-understood by Foundation science, but are beyond the capabilities of the general public. These included: Raijin-type entities (Thunder Kami) invoked to "scatter enemy <radio> communications to the wind." Gaki-type entities (Hungry Ghosts) invoked to conceal lethal traps and consume the remains of their victims. Buruburu-type entities (Shivers) invoked to intensify feelings of cowardice and fear in intruders. Kitsune-type entities (Fox Spirits) invoked to confuse intruders, disrupting navigation and planning. SCP-5177 has an additional anomalous property active throughout the area, randomly disrupting access to long-term memory.1 Foundation occultists have theorized that after many years of abandonment, SCP-5177 has manifested a unique species of Yokaius tsukumogami, or discarded object spirit. Occult containment specialists have determined that a ritual symbol of remembrance is sufficient to suppress this effect throughout SCP-5177, resulting in the current containment procedures. SCP-5177 was created in the 1930's by a single IJAMEA stay-behind agent and used to monitor Foundation activities, but this agent departed after an unknown period of time. Addendum 5177-21: Discovery Timeline March 15, 1973: Foundation Electronic Intelligence agents intercept radio messages originating in the Pacific Northwest containing classified mission-critical Foundation information, including descriptions of SCP objects in containment.2 Foundation North American Command declare this breach a Class-Aleph threat to the Masquerade and deploy all available intelligence assets. March 23, 1973: Agents K. R. Turner and A. M. Moore, MTF Iota-10 ("Damn Feds") members embedded in the U.S. Forest Service, forward rumors of hunting and rescue parties going missing in the vicinity of ██████████ National Forest. March 24, 1973: Foundation Intelligence intercept FBI Unusual Incidents Unit communique stating that multiple agents had gone missing in the area of █████ Mountain. As the closest assets, Turner and Moore are dispatched to investigate and destroy any sensitive Foundation documents. Local Task Force Echo-5 ("Ski Jumpers") are placed on alert at Site-64 as backup. March 25, 1973: Turner and Moore report reaching █████ Mountain but suffer anomalous radio interference. Moore is instructed to switch to backup FoundSATCom reporting system and proceed. Transmission logs are integrated below. ARCHIVIST'S NOTE: FoundSATCom allowed one-way tight-beam textual transmission to Foundation Command via early satellite link.

Addendum 5177-41: Containment Updates On November 2, 1984, Foundation occultists recommended the current containment procedures. Through HERA liaison, Portland UIU negotiator James Turner asked to be present during the enactment of the remembrance ritual. Based on the suggestion of occult containment specialists, his request was granted. Footnotes 1. Any memory more than ~30 seconds in duration. 2.

SCP-5178 | keter | Item#: 5178 Level3 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: notice link to memo Photo of SCP-5178 during recovery. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5178 is to be contained at Site-88 in a soundproof, humanoid containment cell installed with recording equipment. A transcription and cognitohazard filtration program should be running simultaneously to document live broadcasts while removing hazards. These transcripts are to be reviewed daily by assigned research staff. All requests for direct audio files should be given to Head Researcher Dr. Nick Copper. During periods of musical interludes, SCP-5178’s vitals are to be checked and its containment cell cleaned when necessary. Any noticeable change in SCP-5178's vitals or behavior must be reported to assigned research staff or an on-site supervisor. Any staff who have been exposed to POI-7134’s live or recorded audio broadcast between 06/20/2020 (Incident-5178-1) and 08/07/2020 (Incident-5178-2) or know of someone who has shown a vested interest in POI-7134's ideology are to refer to Dr. Copper’s email below. UPDATE: As of 09/18/2020 (Refer to Incident-5178-3), SCP-5178's containment class has been updated to Keter with the approval of the Classification Committee. Agents are currently investigating new instances of SCP-5178 for containment and for any information on POI-7134's whereabouts, including information on his recent radio broadcast sponsor. Containment procedures may change pending further updates. Description: SCP-5178 is an elderly, Caucasian male speculated to be in his late sixties. SCP-5178's identity is unknown but has been referred to as "Broadcast Station WYLI" by POI-7134. SCP-5178 is in a constant semi-catatonic state, where he is unwilling and/or incapable of speaking and has rarely reacted to stimuli. SCP-5178's body heals from physical damage at an extremely fast rate, regenerating tissue and organs near instantly without scarring. This regeneration is speculated to be the reason why SCP-5178 does not possess the need to eat or sleep. SCP-5178's only behavioral trait is his preference to sit in one location with his abdomen exposed to project radio broadcasts. Protruding from SCP-5178's abdomen is a Philips brand radio with technology constructed around the late 90s. The skin around the radio appears to have been charred and inflamed by the alteration, which is inconsistent with SCP-5178’s regeneration. The radio is fully functional and SCP-5178 shows no signs of discomfort from its presence or usage, but any attempt to interact with it, including turning off the radio, is corrected by SCP-5178. The only transmission receivable through SCP-5178 is a talk show entitled "Eat The Sun with Seth Uhar" regardless of what frequency the radio is set to. Seth Uhar, classified as POI-7134, and his recording studio’s location are untraceable. Whether or not POI-7134 is human is unknown, but he has claimed several times to be from a society "several steps ahead" of ours. POI-7134's voice resembles an English-speaking human male in his late 20s and speaks with an American accent. POI-7134's radio show is hosted live and uninterrupted, consisting of segments where he shares his belief that human society ought to detach itself from all systems and beliefs that glorify the sun as opposed to viewing it as a replaceable resource, frequently suggesting it will cause an apocalyptic event if action is not taken soon. POI-7134 also occasionally refers to an individual named "Ule" who is never heard speaking but is believed to be present in all live recordings. “Ule's" main role on the show is unknown but POI-7134's comments suggest it to be essential. No other information is currently known about "Ule". In between live segments are musical breaks consisting of songs relating in either title or lyrics to the sun, which are then played at various playback speeds.1 It has been suggested based on comments from POI-7134 that this is done to stay in sync with our “temporal continuum.” Typical programming between musical breaks consists of the following:2 Monologues where POI-7134 talks to the audience about his "anti-solarist" ideology. A majority of the information the Foundation has gained on POI-7134 comes from these segments. Skits entitled "Sunless Days" about two humans living in a society without the sun and all the technological feats they are capable of. POI-7134's portrayal of the human characters showcases his loose grasp of human customs and terminology. A segment entitled "SOL-less Conversations" involving interviews between POI-7134 and guests of a supposed otherworldly/paranormal nature, consistently discussing the benefits of removing their respective sun. So far, none of the guests has been able to speak any recognizable form of language. Requests for listeners to call in with questions. No phone number is provided, yet POI-7134 advertises this segment frequently. This includes requests for sponsorship. + Recovery Report - Recovery Report Recovery Report SCP-5178 was discovered on 04/17/2020, in Lake Wylie, SC, living in a homeless camp in an undeveloped, heavily forested area after reports came into the local Police Department regarding a mutilated homeless man with a radio sticking out of his stomach. Foundation agents embedded in the local law enforcement took over the investigation soon after. Agent Arnold Castor was first on the scene at 05:34 PM, reporting that several of the other homeless locals had gathered around SCP-5178, who was wearing a Burger King paper crown at the time. Another camp resident admitted to placing the crown on SCP-5178 to see how he reacted, and he reportedly did nothing in response. Residents present could not say exactly when SCP-5178 first arrived at the camp but most confirmed the first radio broadcast occurred around 08:30 AM. Keith Sturges, a resident at the camp, stated, “I woke up around 5 and he was already there, sitting on that stump. We didn’t bother him at first; you get a lot of guys in a bad spot showing up and normally we respect them enough to leave them be. A few hours after Wojack, the ass, put that crown on his head…That’s when he opened his shirt and began to play that nutty show. At first, we freaked out. After the shock faded away, we thought it was a prank, but then we…just kind of accepted it the longer he kept going. It was free entertainment, as strange as the subject was, so we didn’t complain.” Once Agent Castor confirmed the anomalous state of the man's condition and the content of the radio broadcasts, he reported his findings and had SCP-5178 transported to Site-88 for further testing. All individuals present at the homeless camp and all of the police officers involved were given class-C amnestics. All mentions of SCP-5178 were removed from local law enforcement records. Dr. Copper was assigned to SCP-5178 as head researcher, and recordings of POI-7134's radio show began on 04/19/2020 after initial testing showed no harmful effects from the broadcast. While SCP-5178's containment proved simple, due to the possibility that his semi-catatonic state may lessen over time, he was classified as Euclid. + Selected Transcripts - Selected Transcripts Transcript-#0001 Transcript-#0029 Transcript-#0234 Transcript-#0001 for 04/19/2020 from 08:01 AM to 08:06 AM ["California Sun" by The Ramones at 0.5x playback speed fades out. Intro song plays.] POI-7134: Welcome back, my human folks and friends. That was…"California Sun", by The Ramones. So, it’s currently a time dictated by an inaccurate ball of dirt orbiting a titan of uncaring flames, and it is currently a temperature that you have no direct control over without breaking your own darn sky. I’m your host, Seth Uhar, as always. I wanted…to take time out to explain, as I regularly must do, the message we here at "Eat The Sun with Seth Uhar" hold as gospel. "Eat The Sun." No, of course, I don’t mean literally. If you could eat the sun, it would have nothing nutritional for you at this stage in your evolution, and I wouldn’t feel the intense need to make this show for you all. I don’t think any mortal, singular life-form can eat the sun, but a society of mortal, singular life-forms could swallow it whole. The sun is very nutritious for a growing, technologically-advanced society. It's filled with elements, minerals, and energy that could fuel your next octillion generations! But why won’t you? Because you fell into the trap that so many do. Like star-crossed insects…slamming into light bulbs, you mistake the sun as the logical thing to orientate your society on when it should NOT be like that at all! Do you know what your sun is actually like?! Do you know what your sun has actually done?! Do you know what your sun could actually do to you?! NO! Oh, but what about our mythical cultures and gods? Like poor Helios? What will he and Surya do? And what would Ra, or Osiris, or…whatever he is, think? [POI-7134 slams loudly on a desk.] POI-7134: WELL, WHAT ABOUT YOUR EYES? YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT THE SUN WITH YOUR EYES! COME ON! It’s obvious! Before your minds could even conceive of stealing the flames from your supposed Olympus, your eyes were screaming the truth to you all along. That it is a harmful, bright blight, too dangerous to even gaze upon from the safety of your caves and treetops! The sun is a convenience to you right now, a teat that humanity must wrestle its puckered lips from. If you don't…well, if I’m not mistaken, is it not common among humans to cast derision on those who refuse to drop infantile habits? Am I wrong? I don't think I am. [POI-7134 sighs heavily.] POI-7134: Forget what you think is part of the true natural order and take that first step into a new dimension of thought; sunless, without burning eyes…alongside me. You are capable of so, so much more, I know it. You know it. THE SUN KNOWS IT. IT WILL FEAR THAT TRUTH SHOULD YOU EMBRACE IT! SO EMBRACE IT! EAT THE SUN! EAT IT! EAT IIIIIIT!

Addendum-1 Incident-5178-1: On 06/20/2020, Audio Analysis Specialist Ramiz Kola noted that POI-7134's overall audio quality had improved, though he was unable to discern exactly in what regard it had changed. Ramiz noted the improvement made him uncomfortably enthusiastic to continue listening. Over the following week, an increase to staff accessing SCP-5178's broadcasts spiked. Several members of on-site staff started showing positive feelings towards listening to the broadcast, promoting serious discussions regarding the feasibility of POI-7134's ideology and started engaging in behavior spurred by their desire to support and spread the show's influence. Researchers began testing the radio broadcast with D-Class subjects and discovered a minor compulsory anomalous effect was present within the audio. New containment procedures were then put in place by Dr. Copper to minimize further exposure to the program. Following this, a site-wide email was sent to all staff regarding the incident. Access SCiPNET Email? One (1) new message! Re:SUBJECT To: Site-88 Research Staff From: Dr. Nick Copper, Level 4 Head Researcher Subject: Regarding Staff and SCP-5178 All, It has come to my attention that, as of June 6th, SCP-5178’s broadcasts now contains a low-grade cognitohazard embedded in live and recorded audio, causing those under its effects increased enjoyment and a compulsion to continue listening to the program. It has also come to our attention that several members of staff accessed SCP-5178’s audio files without permission during this period and are now under the effects of this cognitohazard. Thankfully, the anomaly is not spreadable outside of SCP-5178’s broadcasts and the effects should fade within the month. Containment procedures have been updated to stop any further spread of the anomaly. Staff afflicted by the cognitohazard, including myself, will be given a psychological analysis by an on-site psychologist within the following weeks. However, recent decisions made by some of those researchers can not be excused by this anomaly, and what we need from you is to show a little self-control, even if you feel you are under the effects of a cognitohazard. The following actions are not a symptom of SCP-5178's cognitohazard: Accessing SCP-756 to destroy their sun in order to "See what happens." Wearing sunglasses and sunscreen while inside and during inappropriate situations. Closing all the blinds in the facility. Excessive consumption of sunflower seeds. Sunflower seed shells not being properly disposed of. Sharing images, videos, and memes relating to SCP-5178 on site-wide work chatrooms. Sending distressing messages to SCP-179 or SCP-2499 relating to the sun. Accessing files relating to SCP-037, SCP-4074, or SCP-2995 without a work-related reason. Any over usage of the sun with face emoji (🌞.) All individuals responsible for these actions have been appropriately reprimanded and anyone else caught engaging in these or similar behaviors going forward may also be equally punished. Proper discussions of SCP-5178 and POI-7134’s ideology will be put on hold for 3 months until we can confirm the cognitohazard’s effects have faded. Until then, I ask that you be patient and that you show some professionalism in the workplace in spite of any perceived anomalies, not abandon common sense at the first sign of symptoms. Thank you, Dr. Nick H. Copper Addendum-2 Update: On 07/27/2020, Junior Researcher Jaquita Carson began noticing long stretches of dead-air on the transcription logs between songs and live segments. POI-7134's tone of voice became significantly more downtrodden, and an overall lack of composure became increasingly apparent as it resulted in frequent on-air emotional outbursts (See Incident Related Transcripts.) This resulted in a drop in the number of live segments featured daily3 and long stretches where a single song was looped repeatedly before going to the next song. + Incident Related Transcripts - Incident Related Transcripts Transcript-#1578 Transcript-#1652 Transcript-#1699 Transcript-#1578 for 07/27/2020 from 12:04 PM to 12:08 PM ["Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden at 1.25x playback speed fades out.

The sounds were recognized as cognitohazards by the transcription and filtering program before engaging in an emergency shut-down to prevent further damage to the recorded data. This lasted for 10 seconds before the noises ceased. The soundproofing within the containment cell was able to dampen the noise enough to cancel out the broadcast's cognitohazards before they could affect staff. However, Kevin Fowler, a class-E staff member who was emptying trashcans near to SCP-5178's cell during the incident, reported that afterwards his teeth started to hurt when exposed to direct sunlight. Investigations into this side-effect are currently pending until further testing is approved. SCP-5178 was recovered at 12:37 PM from his cell, unharmed by the event.4 It is unknown what POI-7134 broadcasted immediately after the incident. By the time a response team arrived at the containment cell, POI-7134 was repeating the phrase "I'm sorry Kevin" for approximately 5 minutes straight before playing "Sunshine Of Your Love" by Cream at 0.5x playback speed and resuming his previous broadcasting schedule. The anomalous compulsive effect was no longer present in further live and recorded audio after this event. Following SCP-5178's containment cell being repaired, containment procedures remained the same until Incident-5178-3. + Transcript-#1700 - Transcript-#1700 Transcript-#1700 for 09/17/2020 from 05:15 PM to 05:17 PM ["Walkin' On The Sun" abruptly stops before a triumphant jingle plays.] POI-7134: Helloooooo humanity!

Several civilians, park rangers, and agents reported distant sounds confirmed to be Yello's "Oh Yeah" playing at high volume from within various forests and undeveloped areas. This occurred immediately after POI-7134 made a sudden announcement (See Transcript-#1700,) at exactly 05:17 PM GST while SCP-5178 was broadcasting the same song. According to all reports, the sound lasted for approximately 4 minutes before fading out. The source of the music was never located in all instances. POI-7134 has returned to his normally shuffled playlist during musical breaks but has not yet returned to do any hosted segments as of 10/██/2020. Around the same time, at approximately 05:20 PM, Kevin Fowler (See Incident-5178-2) also went missing from Foundation custody, having disappeared after notifying guards that his teeth were, "changing into something plastic." Security staff reported the surveillance footage of Kevin's cell was distorted while the on-duty guard went to radio for assistance. The distortion continued until 05:22 PM, showing that Kevin had vanished from his cell. On-site investigators found no trace of Kevin but did discover traces of soot and sulfur marking the cell walls where he was standing. They also discovered a plastic knob attached to an AM/FM switch, similar in design to the one on SCP-5178's radio, covered in a mix of saliva and blood which was a 98% match to Kevin's DNA. Investigating agents believe this incident is related to SCP-5178 and was carried out by their recent sponsor. Agents are currently following any leads on this unidentified GOI. Dr. Copper submitted a request to the Containment Committee for SCP-5178 to be reclassified to Keter status, based on evidence that multiple uncontained instances now exist and have the capability to broadcast cognitohazards to multiple civilians at any time. The request was approved on 09/18/2020. Footnotes 1. The most frequently played songs are "Soak Up The Sun" by Sheryl Crow at 1.75x playback speed, "Sunshine Of Your Love" by Cream at 0.5x playback speed, and "Walkin' On The Sun" by Smash Mouth at various playback speeds. 2.

Addendum-3 FOREWORD: Information that has been censored is to be provided for O5 and Level 4 Staff at a later date after investigations are complete. Speculation on the part of the author is potentially hazardous to spread to multiple people until the threat has been fully identified and will be uncensored when it has been found safe for perceptual recognition. Update: As of 12/13/2020, broadcasts have returned to their normal structure with expanded hosted segments, ad spaces for non-existent products and services, and listener requested songs. Only one individual has been heard live on-air making a request and notably had a hoarse and raspy voice resembling [DATA EXPUNGED]. Musical requests do not seem to follow the same sun-based theme as previous chosen songs, but do feature variations on their playback speed. The symbolism and meaning behind these requests is believed to be related to the GOI currently sponsoring POI-7134 and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Further updates are pending. As of 2/5/2021 SCP-5178's research team has not been responding to communications and are subsequently under investigation for treasonous acts against the Foundation. SCP-5178 has been placed under temporary management of the Site-Director for Site-88, Dr. Anutan, until Dr. Nick Copper, Dr. Jaquita Carson, Dr. Ramiz Kola, and Agent Arnold Castor can be apprehended. To prevent unnecessary complications amongst coworkers and associates of the former SCP-5178 team members, the original article authored by Dr. Copper will remain available to lower level staff, but all other staff members should remain aware the previous information on SCP-5178 and POI-7134 stated in the article is to be assumed void of authenticity until further reviews can be done. Update: As of 12/25/2023, Incident-5178-5 has confirmed Dr. Copper and his team have become active instances of SCP-5178, designated now as SCP-5178-A through D. More information and further updates to the article are pending approval from the O-5 council and Dr. Anutan. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5178" by DecoyMesa, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5179 | safe | Item#: 5179 Level2 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: critical link to memo Item #: SCP-5179 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5179 is to be kept in text materials storage locker 87. Save for testing, SCP-5179 is to be clamped shut and sealed in an airtight bag for preservation. Authorization from at least two Senior Researchers is required for testing, and only Class-D personnel are permitted to handle SCP-5179 without safety measures. When testing, SCP-5179, and any attached D-Class Personnel, are to be moved to a 15m by 15m by 10m chamber. Description: SCP-5179 is an AISC1-distributed textbook labeled "Book 3 GLOBAL COMMERCE". When an individual opens SCP-5179, they and anyone within a 10-meter radius will immediately be displaced into a pocket dimension.2 Reading SCP-5179 without activating these anomalous effects is impossible. When the use of a Remote Controlled mechanical arm was attempted, the operator -Technician J. Hawkins- was affected despite being 20 meters away. SCP-5179-O is a to-scale replica of the Australian desert region, commonly known as the "Outback". Instead of terminating where the region does, when crossing the edge of an "Outback" an individual will find themselves at the entry point of SCP-5179-O.3 SCP-5179-O is inhabited by wildlife identical to the Australian Desert Region. However, no human-built structures are present other than Foundation Research Site 5179-O. Addendum-5179-1: As of 4/14/2021, SCP-5179 is to be put under testing limitation, due to a lack of information gained by doing so. To request an expedition, contact Head Researcher D. Sanderson. Further information is restricted to Level-3 Personnel + Level 3 Access Only - Acces Granted SCP-5179-O, taken by image capture drone on ██/██/2021 Mission Code Name: Operation "Green Martyr" Related SCP: SCP-5179 Mobile Task Force Resources Involved: Ten (10) Members of MTF-Lambda-5 "White Rabbits" Date: 4/12/2021 Mission Summary: On 4/8/2021, D-3928 was ordered to open SCP-5179 while equipped with a trans-planal locator. Upon opening SCP-5179, D-3928 disappeared, as did the locator. Signal was lost for approximately 15 seconds, before reconnecting on plane 194382.-49210. After attending personnel confirmed D-3928's vitals, Internal Security assets amnesticized all personnel present. Research Administration approved an expedition to determine the nature of the plane, and attempt recovery of the 14 personnel lost to SCP-5179. Communications established!

SCP-5180 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5180 Special Containment Procedures: Relevant authorities surrounding wildlife areas and sites of archaeological significance are to be monitored for mentions of any phenomena resembling an SCP-5180 event. Explanations for SCP-5180 events are to be determined by appointed operatives based on the circumstances surrounding the incident. Class-A Amnestics are authorized to be used on all parties involved in the containment of SCP-5180 events. Research on how to detect SCP-5180 events as they happen is currently being conducted. Instances of SCP-5180-A are to be captured and brought to the nearest available site. SCP-5180 events are to be monitored by appointed operatives until all instances of SCP-5180-A are no longer present and the SCP-5180 event has concluded. If instances of SCP-5180-A are observed to engage in behaviour that may be deemed suspicious or potentially dangerous, appointed operatives have authorization to contain or terminate SCP-5180-A instances immediately. Instances of SCP-5180-A currently in Foundation custody are to be met with the same accommodations that a non anomalous member of their species would require.1 Living accommodations of the subject may be improved upon request as a reward for cooperative behaviour. All interactions between Foundation Personnel and instances of SCP-5180-A must first be authorized by Dr. Greene, head of SCP-5180 research. Description: SCP-5180 is a designation assigned to a repeating space-time phenomenon involving trans-dimensional sapient beings appearing in areas of ecological and archaeological significance. These events occur sporadically and have been observed to last anywhere from a few hours to several days. 126 individual anomalies have been observed between ██/██/2012 and the time of writing this document. SCP-5180-A is a designation given to the organisms that appear during SCP-5180 events. The organisms are typically evolutionary relatives/derivatives of known organisms possessing human-level intelligence and technology. SCP-5180-A instances have proven to be elusive and will immediately vanish when they acknowledge that they have been observed by Foundation Personnel and presumably, by any other human. This “vanishing” is near instantaneous and the devices used to accomplish this differ in make and operation between members of different SCP-5180-A species. Research of the phenomenon and examination of devices used by SCP-5180-A instances show that the devices transport matter between alternate versions of reality. These alternate versions of reality are assumed to be where instances of SCP-5180-A originated.2 Foundation operatives have managed to secure a total of 7 individual instances of SCP-5180-A captured from 3 separate SCP-5180 space-time anomalies. Attempts of communication with instances of SCP-5180-A have been successful and information regarding their origin and nature of their visits have been consistent across interviews. Show Contained SCP-5180-A Instances Hide Contained SCP-5180-A Instances Incident Description Description of Species Devices Present on Organism(s) 1 of 4 dolphin-like creatures was captured at the mouth of the Amazon River and Atlantic Ocean by Foundation operatives stationed in the area to pursue unrelated marine anomalies. The subject is currently housed at Site-28’s aquatic anomaly unit. An organism superficially resembling a river dolphin with greenish-grey/white counter-shading and binocular vision. The organism measures approximately 1.4 m in length and weighs approximately 77 kg. The organism possesses a flexible, prehensile tongue roughly 0.65 m in length which is used by the organism as a manipulator akin to a cephalopod’s tentacle. The tongue is folded in the organism’s mouth when not in use. DNA analysis shows its closest living relative to be Inia geoffrensis. 1) A Cylindrical metal object with an electronic glass display showing symbols of an unknown origin. The device was revealed through testing to be a pH reader. 2) A black, plastic half-sphere with interior metal components. The device can extract oxygen from water and convert it to a gaseous form. It was found attached to the blowhole of the organism. 3) A green plastic button attached to a metal platform secured to the organism’s abdomen by a plastic strap. Pressing the button causes any object touching the device as well as the device itself to be instantly transported to an unknown location. 5 of 9 avian anomalies were seized in Yellowstone National Park after park rangers alerted local authorities of anomalous animal behaviour. The event was silenced without incident. All captured instances are currently held in Site-49’s animal anomaly centre. 1) An organism superficially resembling a magpie in size and appearance with a coat of black feathers and a blue head crest. DNA comparison shows the organism to be a derived member of the family Corvidae. 2) 3 members of an unknown species of parrot. 2 individuals, the males, have bright orange plumage while the female is a dull grayish-brown in colour. All 3 organisms are approximately the size of a macaw and possess the ability to speak. The parrots communicate to each other in using an unknown form of verbal language. The other 2 SCP-5180-A instances the parrots were captured with appear to be familiar with this language. 3) An organism roughly 1.3 m long and weighing approximately 31 Kg possessing a coat of shaggy, brown feathers. The organism resembles a highly derived Troodontid dinosaur. One of the fingers on each of its hands is positioned opposite to the other 2 like a primate’s thumb. 1) All captured instances possessed a small metallic lever strapped to the inside of the left wing with a leather strap and metal buckle. Testing has shown the devices to be transporters like those observed with other SCP-5180-A instances. 2) The SCP-5180-A instances were recording observations of their surroundings on a single electronic device. The device is comprised of a square glass screen mounted on a metal triangle with several buttons and dials running down either side. The inner components are currently being studied, but they appear to be similar in form and function to a computer processor. The interface displays symbols of an unknown origin. 3) The Corvid and Troodontid both possessed a small ceramic device with a single button that produced a clicking noise when pressed. This is believed to have been used for communication between the organisms in a method similar to Morse code. Reports of a horse-sized cryptid from a South Vietnamese village were intercepted by Foundation operatives stationed in the region. The organism resisted traditional tranquilizers but was subdued with a net and brought to Site-16 via helicopter. The organism died for unknown reasons shortly thereafter. Following a lengthy and thorough autopsy, the remains of the organism were preserved and are currently stored in Site-16’s Bio Unit. The organism measured 2.8 m long and weighed 34 Kg. It did not resemble any organism known to exist at this or any time. It had a long, cylindrical, bilaterally symmetrical body supported by a cartilaginous skeleton with 6 trunk-like legs on either side. The legs were moved using hydraulics as a green liquid analogous to blood was pumped in and out of them by several heart-like organs, forcing them to contract and expand. The organism possessed a round head with 2 forward facing eyes and a cluster of 5 simple eyes positioned at the top of the head. The organism’s mouth was attached to a long stalk extending down from the head to the ground. The mouth contained several dozen small tentacle-like “teeth” which the organism used to interact with its environment. The digestive tract lacked distinct organs and consisted of a tube folded in on itself several dozen times. Small fungal organisms lined the tract, presumably to aid in digestion. Respiration occurred through small pores in the skin lining the organism’s back. The brain of the organism was very sophisticated, surpassing most higher primates in structural complexity. DNA analysis confirms that the organism evolved on earth, but little else is known of its origin. 1) A 2 mm thick, black, mat-like surface containing many small pores and tubes was found laid over the organism’s back. The technology appears to be organic in nature but is not alive. Due to its position over the breathing holes of the organism, it is believed to be a respirator of some kind.3 2) A damaged metal cube with a blue crystal half-sphere on one of its surfaces was found in the organism’s mouth. This device is believed to be a transporter when rendered operational. 3) A steel rectangular prism filled with thin sheets of gold foil and copper wire spinning around several dozen steel axles. The purpose of this device is unknown, but it is hypothesized to be a way of recording information. The device was found fastened to the organism’s head using an organic adhesive. All captured SCP-5180-A instances apart from the instance that died shortly after its capture currently remain in foundation custody. Tests show all instances to be on par with or surpassing adolescent humans in intelligence. All subjects have been extremely cooperative with Foundation Personnel and attempts to teach forms of non-verbal communication with subjects physically incapable of speech have proven successful. Subjects usually acquire a comprehensive grasp of a language comprised of rhythmic clicks in a period of 6-8 months. Subjects capable of speech have displayed a remarkable aptitude for the English language, acquiring a level of proficiency one would expect from a native speaker in a period of only 4 months. Information obtained from members of different SCP-5180-A species and between subsequent interviews of the same individuals have been largely consistent. Due to this consistency and the fact that instances of SCP-5180-A have been generally cooperative with staff, the information given by SCP-5180-A instances is assumed to be accurate at this time. According to SCP-5180-A instances a currently unknown number of alternate realities exist and travel between these realities is possible. Instances of SCP-5180-A originate from versions of reality where human-level intelligence developed in different species. There are allegedly 11 intelligent species from different realities currently known, 5 of which belong to what SCP-5180-A instances refer to as “a trans-dimensional federation of intelligent species”. SCP-5180-A instances are all self-proclaimed researchers collecting information with the goal of determining if humanity is to be included in this federation. The following are all currently known intelligent species according to SCP-5180-A instances. Show List of Intelligent Species Hide List of Intelligent Species Species Description of Reality Status The Troodontids A version of reality where the K-PG mass extinction never occurred and dinosaurs remained the dominant life forms on earth. 10 million years ago, a clade of intelligent dinosaurs descended from troodontids living across the Eurasian Steppe evolved an opposable finger allowing them to develop tools. Their civilization was established approximately 500,000 years ago and their level of technology is several thousand years beyond humanity’s. The Troodontids were the first species to develop trans-dimensional travel and, by all accounts, founded the Federation. Included in the Federation The Corvids A version of reality in which crow-like animals developed stone tools in Eastern Asia approximately 4.5 million years ago. After developing intelligence akin to Homo Erectus, the Corvids managed to migrate around the world, eventually developing agriculture in the form of controlled insect colonies. Civilization developed approximately 50,000 years ago and technology currently exists at the industrial level. Included in the Federation The Parrots Existing in the same reality as the Corvids, the Parrots developed stone tools 4 million years ago in the rain forests of South America. They developed civilization at around the same time as the Corvids whom they encountered upon migrating to the other continents. Much of the histories of both cultures are filled with conflict between the 2 species but as of recently coexistence and even cooperation has taken cultural precedence. Currently, the two civilizations are one and the same. Included in the Federation The Dolphins A series of dramatic climate events 7 million years ago transformed much of South and Central America into a series of marshes and estuaries. A species of river dolphin developed a long, prehensile tongue to forge for food in the soft river sediment. The tongue was later used to create and manipulate tools which allowed the dolphins to adopt the niche of active pack-hunters. Vast underwater colonies spanning entire rivers developed approximately 55,000 years ago and a rapid advancement of culture and technology followed. Technology continued to advance in the absence of fire and metallurgy and the dolphins developed their own methods of trans-dimensional travel before adopting the technology of other Federation members. Included in the Federation The Cambrionians A reality in which the factors which led to the Cambrian mass extinction never occurred. The strange and arcane body plans of the era became commonplace and evolution on Earth took a radically different turn. Eventually, a clade of apex pack hunters yielded an intelligent species approximately 850,000 years ago. Civilization developed approximately 100,000 years ago but advanced relatively slowly. The species developed a level of technology on par with modern humanity only 1,000 years ago. Included in the Federation The Cephalopods Following the K-PG mass extinction a series of tectonic and climate events left Australia void of most animal life. A species of octopus developed a series of traits enabling it to live on land for extended periods. These traits included a quadrupedal gait4, a stiffened cirrate shell, less permeable skin, and breathing mechanisms analogous to lungs. The descendants of this species would adopt the vacant niches of the continent including that of communal hunters-gatherers. Civilization developed approximately 40,000 years ago. The species is currently technologically on par with modern humans, occupying every continent on the planet excluding Antarctica. Under Consideration for Inclusion The Elephants A reality in which a series of tectonic events led to the formation of an island roughly the size of Madagascar in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean 10 million years ago. A population of elephants on the island decreased radically in size to meet the reduced availability of resources. A dog-sized dwarf elephant species developed stone tools around 2 million years ago and civilization about 15,000 years ago. The elephants currently posses a level of technology equivalent to that of mid-bronze age humans and are yet to migrate from the island. Under Consideration for Inclusion The Suminians “Reptilian Monkeys” A reality in which the events which led to the P-Tr mass extinction never occurred and the dominant animal forms of the period remained dominant. A genus of arboreal Synapsids known as Suminia underwent a series of evolutionary changes paralleling that of primates.5 9.3 million years ago, climate events like the ones which triggered human evolution in Africa triggered the evolution of bipedalism in the derived Suminians. Suminian civilization developed 25,000 years ago and their current level of technology is several centuries ahead of humanity. The Suminians have only recently been accepted into the federation and the process of their inclusion is ongoing. In the Process of Integration into the Federation The Pigs A reality in which an asteroid struck Earth 20 million years ago leading to the extinction of most large mammal lineages. One surviving lineage, a genus of small basal pigs underwent rapid adaptive radiation and filled many of the vacant niches of Eurasia and North America. One North American species specialized in storing food underground, a behaviour that when combined with the species’ relatively high intelligence led to the invention of agriculture. Civilization gradually formed between 1.2 million and 600,000 years ago. The Pigs posses technology akin to that of ancient Mesoamericans and have diversified into numerous cultures and tribal groups, many of whom are at war. The Pigs have colonized most of the Western Hemisphere and are yet to leave the Americas. Under Consideration for Inclusion The Lizards A reality in which the Indian subcontinent exists separately from mainland Asia. Due to its immense size, the entire center of the continent is a dry desert where a clade of pack-hunting monitor lizards are the dominant predators. The lizards have developed spears from sharpened sticks and have a complex social hierarchy but are yet to experience technological or cultural advancements beyond this. Fossil evidence shows that the lizard species has existed for over a million years and are yet to enter a level of technology analogous to the stone age. Status as Intelligent Species Debated The Apes The reality in which humanity exists. Under Consideration for Inclusion Addendum: Show Interview Log-5180-3 Hide Interview Log-5180-3 Interview Log-5180-3: The following interview occurred between Dr. Greene and the female parrot instance of SCP-5180-A on ██/██/2016. The interview was the 3rd of 3 conducted that week. The prior two interviews centered primarily around the nature of SCP-5180 phenomena. [BEGIN LOG] Dr. Greene: Hello, Anne6 Anne: Hello, Doctor. Dr. Greene: Last time we spoke, you mentioned the existence of a federation of intelligent species which evolved in other realities. I would like to ask you more about this federation. Anne: Yes, go ahead. Dr. Greene: What is the main function of this federation? Why would a species want to join? Anne: Doctor, the collective species of the federation have discovered 309 alternate versions of Earth so far. 216 of these versions could theoretically support life. 84 of these versions have a thriving biosphere. 11 of these versions currently harbour intelligent life. Dr. Greene: Yes, you’ve explained this already, it doesn't answer the question. Anne: Do you know how difficult interstellar travel is, Doctor? Dr. Greene: Not particularly. Anne: We have found it to be very difficult. Dr. Greene: What relevance does this have? Anne: There are a lot of resources available to be used right here at home. A lot of additional planets to house ever-growing populations. A lot of very useful technology waiting to be shared between species. As efforts continue, more worlds will be discovered. Based on our current estimates, the number of alternate earths may number in the tens of thousands. Dr. Greene: Not infinite? Anne: Apparently not. Don’t ask me, I’m a linguist and a biologist, not a physicist. Dr. Greene: Regardless, you’ve made your point. What does the federation look for when determining if a new species ought to be added? Anne: Maturity, mainly. How well the species takes care of the planet they have, whether their culture is at a point where they can accept that they aren’t the only smart ones around, things like that. Mainly though, research of the biosphere is the top priority when visiting other Earths. Oh, and doctor? Dr. Greene: Yes? Anne: You can stop prying. Humans are failing the examination. Dr. Greene: You need not answer why, based on the reasons you’ve stated enough has been said. Anne: No, no don’t get me wrong your species is something truly remarkable. Easily the fastest developing and most ambitious species by far. I mean, 200,000 years of existing and less than 20,000 years of what anyone could consider a civilization and you’re at this stage. Truly remarkable, anomalous even. Dr. Greene: Yes, wel- Anne: But the species reeks of adolescence. Profound arrogance, unapologetic boldness, unchecked ambition, and a recklessness that defies your intellect. It’s no wonder your species is the talk of the federation. [Dr. Greene pauses for approximately 20 seconds and records a series of notes on his clipboard] Dr. Greene: I’ve said this before, but I seriously can't get past it. Your grasp of this language is truly remarkable. You speak more articulately than some of my colleagues. Anne: Well, like I said, I’m a linguist by trade. Human language is so much more elegant than the language of parrots. So many words mean the same thing but have slight differences in character. A sentence can convey the same general message while taking on a totally new form. Poetry is somewhat of a commodity in my world, but here it is almost inevitable. Very fun to use and to learn. I am thankful. Dr. Greene: Well, it’s quite alright I suppose. Pardon my digression, can we get back to the question? Anne: Right. Also curious about your species is the existence of this organization. From what I gather this is designed to house that which defies reason? Dr. Greene: Yes, I guess that’s a good way of putting it. Do other Earths not have an equivalent? Anne: We don’t need them. If we find something we can't explain, we don’t bother hiding it. But they’re rare in other places, anomalies seem to occur in this reality more than any other. An anomalous home for some anomalous apes. Dr. Greene: I suppose. Well, that is all for now. Anne: Next week, doctor. Oh, and, bring me some crackers next time, will you? [END LOG] Footnotes 1.

Each chamber has been modified to allow for a continuous audio-visual feed of the other two chambers. At no point should this feed be interrupted, nor should the 5181-entities be prevented from viewing it at any time. The 5181-entities are restricted to a vegetarian diet. At no point are they to be supplied with any dietary supplements that are not included on Meal Plan V-102. As per ECOM.ord.00187, testing on SCP-5181 has been permanently suspended. Inquiries and proposed testing procedures are to be submitted in writing to the Site-12 Ethics Committee representative. Due to the complexity of operations during recovery of SCP-5181, attempts to completely remove references to the 5181-entities had mixed results. While the propaganda and disinformation campaigns in Europe were largely successful, references to SCP-5181 in the US media and common knowledge were already so wide-spread that complete removal of such were deemed detrimental to overall Foundation operations and were ultimately discarded. In lieu of complete erasure, the attempts to spread the "Teufelshunde" or "Devil Dogs" moniker across the entirety of the US Marine Corps has seen significant success, while references to the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines Cheyenne Company have largely been eradicated. Description SCP-5181 refers collectively to a group of biologically and thaumaturgically enhanced humanoids recovered from the Belleau Wood area north and west of Château-Thierry, France. Originally contained by Foundation assets embedded within the United States 2nd Infantry Division in July, 1918. Despite the length of their containment, the three surviving members of the SCP-5181 group have shown no signs of advanced age. While testing on the matter has proven inconclusive, it is believed that the 5181-entities are all biologically immortal, and have shown no degeneration in their physical and cognitive capabilities. 5181-entities all display significantly enhanced physical characteristics, each showcasing dexterity, endurance, and physical strength far superior to that of a baseline human. Additionally, each subject presents with advanced cases of terminal hypertrichosis1 as well as multiple musculoskeletal abnormalities. While a majority of these abnormalities are subcutaneous and not readily apparent, all of the 5181-entities exhibit extensive reformations of the skull and facial structures. Attached Addenda Discovery SCP-5181 Discovery Location, C. 1918 In March, 1918, the German Army pushed an offensive west into Allied territories in an attempt to win the war on the Western Front before the United States armed forces had an opportunity to fully deploy. By May of that year, the German offensive had reached the north bank of the Marne River at the small village of Château-Thierry where they encountered the US 3rd Army Division. This forced the German advance to turn west towards the commune of Vaux. That evening the Germans defeated elements of the French armed forces, which allowed them to move into position to flank the US military. In response, the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, including the highly decorated Cheyenne Company, moved to intercept along the Paris-Metz highway. After having conducted an all-night forced march to achieve their position, the 1st Batt. Marines were exhausted and ill-prepared to fend off an all-out assault by the German offensive. Despite this, the Marines were able to hold the position and eventually launch sufficient counter attacks that drove the Germans into entrenched defenses in the Belleau Woods. After several days of intense fighting, the Germans were pushed out of the Belleau Woods with both sides suffering heavy casualties. In the aftermath of these engagements, the Foundation received a request from US High Command requesting assistance in retrieving elements of the 1st Battalion that had "gone rogue" and were continuing to engage any forces that entered Belleau Woods, regardless of allegiance. Lt. Major Jeremy Stevens, a Foundation field operative embedded with the 1st Battalion took command of a retrieval operation, which resulted in the deaths of 15 Foundation agents and the acquisition of SCP-5181. Additional Research Cheyenne Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, USMC Cheyenne Company is a disavowed company that was originally part of the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines in the United States Marine Corps based out of Camp Pendleton, California. Originally designated as a special field operations company, it was made up of special forces marines, occult sciences division operatives, and various paramilitary units. Relevant History As the United States watched World War 1, US High Command recognized both that the US would ultimately be drawn into the conflict as well as the need for highly specialized elements to counter occult and fringe science units within the Imperial German Army. Reports of highly capable paranormal units operating on the Western Front was concerning to US High Command, and which began to covertly prepare paranormal elements of their own. Initially sanctioned by elements within the Foundation's administration, Cheyenne Company was formed in July, 1914 as a test vehicle for the Special Sciences Division, a product of the SCPF/USAF joint sciences agreement. The US military's insistence on weaponizing certain components of the Foundation's growing inventory of anomalous artifacts drew it into direct conflict with the Foundation's Charter. In December of 1914, the Foundation withdrew from the joint sciences agreement with the United States, and the US officially disbanded the Special Sciences Division in February of 1915. In May, 1917, Cheyenne Company was reactivated and deployed to France as part of the US deployment strategy to halt the German advance along the Western Front. Purpose Members of Alpha Squad, Cheyenne Company, USMC in 1918 Active: 13 July 1914 – 24 December 1914 25 May 1917 – 13 August 1919 Country: United States of America Branch: United States Marine Corps Type: Light Infantry/Special Operations Role: Locate, close with, and destroy the enemy by any means necessary. Commanders: Captain John Fitzgerald Captain Fyoder Kovalenko, Ph.D. (Adjunct) 1st. Lieutenant Bryan Richards Organization: Alpha Squad - "War Dogs" Beta Squad - "Gun Runners" Gamma Squad - "Dark Horses" Delta Squad - "Hellscouts" Special Field Operations Headquarters Element Motto: "By any means." Engagements: World War 1 - Battle of Belleau Wood While ostensibly under the Command of Captain John Fitzgerald, Cheyenne Company was the pet project of Dr. Fyoder Kovalenko, a parasciences specialist and Ukrainian immigrant. Little is known about Dr. Kovalenko, though what intelligence that does exists suggests that he was involved in a variety of para-occult and fringe science experiments, and may have had ties with the nascent Neo-Sarkic cult known as The Hunter's Black Lodge. The stated purpose of Cheyenne Company was to combat their counterparts within the German Imperial Army, though this was quickly subverted by Dr. Kovalenko's personal projects into achieving personal apotheosis by utilizing a fusion of parascientific experimentation with "traditional" Neo-Sarkic ritual. While instrumental in the battle of Belleau Wood, US High Command was forced to disavow Cheyenne Company in the aftermath of that engagement, and the USMC purged all records of Cheyenne Company from their archives. This, and the Foundation's own efforts to discredit and erase all knowledge of their existence resulted in the near-total loss of all records relating to Dr. Kovalenko and his research. Attached Addenda SCPF Internal Memorandum FROM: Dr. Marie Gilburn, Ethics Committee TO: Dr. Guillome Ribière, Site-12 Director DATE: 18 May 1940 RE: SCP-5181 I want to make myself very clear. You had no right, morally or legally, to activate SCP-5181. Doing so not only cost the lives of four of the SCP-5181 entities, but those of your containment staff, 14 of Site-12 Security personnel, and an unknown amount of civilians. This is precisely why we don't get involved with the political affairs of mundane governments. I realize that you were acting out of an interest to preserve lives, but these men are no longer soldiers and you have no business putting them into the field. Your rash and inexcusable actions caused infinitely more harm than good, and your beloved France will ultimately have to pay for your actions. SCP-5181 cannot be controlled, and your attempts to do so has cost the lives of men under your command. This is exactly what Order 187 was meant to prevent. I expect your resignation within the hour. Dr. Marie Gilburn Director, Ethics Committee ■ 5181.doc.01 - Lt. Richards, Journal ■ □ 5181.doc.01 - Lt. Richards, Journal □ June 2, 1918 We marched through the night, but managed to get here just in time. The French ran away, but the Doc says that we're right where we should be. The Captain asked him if we were going to finish taking the injections, but Doc said to wait. Once we do, there wont be any turning back. So, we wait. Along with the rest of the 1/5. June 4, 1918 We kicked the shit out of them Kraut bastards. We had just enough time to dig little half-graves in the dirt before they started pouring over the hill and into our enfilade. We waited, then we killed. The sound of all those guns going off still rings in my ears. Almost enough to drown out the screaming. It's quiet now, but that isn't gonna last. The Captain says June 6, 1918 This morning we assaulted 142 and finally took it, but a lot of good men wont be going home. The Captain and Doc got into it and the Doc agreed to let us finish. We're being shifted to help 3/6 take Belleau, and the Captain says now is the time. Doc gave us all syringes filled with blood and told us to inject ourselves after we move in with 3/6. The others don't quite know what to make of it, but we're goddamn War Dogs. Whatever comes, we got this. June 7, 1918 My whole body feels like its on fire. The pain is spiking through everything, but I ain't ever felt so alive. I can hear everything. I can taste the sweat and rust from the Krauts on the breeze blowing through Bellau. I can feel the beating hearts of my brothers in the hair on my arms. I feel strong, stronger than ever I've been. The weariness of sleep is gone, but the hunger remains. I can taste it in my mouth, and I can see it running in their veins. I must. June 10, 1918 We've killed and killed and killed, and the hunger still drives me. War dogs? We're not war dogs anymore. The Krauts are calling us Teufelshunde now. Devil dogs. The pride in that is almost enough for me to forget the hunger. Almost enough for me to forget the fear in the eyes of the other Marines. Almost. June 11, 1918 They're not afraid. They're jealous. Jealous of what we've become. Jealous of what we can do. We've taken the woods. They belong to us now, and no one's gonna take them from us. No one is gonna take anything from us ever again. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5182 | euclid | SCP-5182's cover art. Item #: SCP-5182 Special Containment Procedures: Flagged internet posts that make reference to SCP-5182 or レンガ are to be removed. The individual that made the post is to be located and their memories of the anomaly removed. The families of Kathryn ██████, Fern █████, Rita ███████, and Roxanne ████████ currently believe that their daughters died in a group suicide and their bodies were never recovered — no efforts are to be made to dissuade them from this theory. Description: SCP-5182 is an oceangrunge1 album created by the band レンガ (loosely translated as 'Bricks'). レンガ were an American experimental vaporwave band consisting of four individuals: Undine (vocals), Huldebrand, Melusina, and Drowner. It is currently believed that レンガ were created by four teenage females who appeared to be close friends with one another at the time of SCP-5182's recording who each used pseudonyms, although it is unclear which pseudonym corresponds to which female. SCP-5182 consists of seven tracks, totaling 40 minutes and 57 seconds. While the majority of the album is instrumentals, two of the tracks contain short snippets of dialogue taken from television shows or films from the late 1990s and the final track, …hello, features original vocals by Undine. It is also the only track credited to all four members of レンガ. We are here, we are alive (8:49) Four circles above the sign (2:27) Takeover (3:55) Leave me in my chains and throw my dress to the depths of hell (9:08) We're never getting out of here (6:50) ritual (falling, falling down) (4:36) …hello (5:12) Only individuals who listen through the entirety of SCP-5182 are subject to its effects; none of the tracks are independently anomalous. If a subject listens through the album without interruption, they will enter a semi-comatose state upon reaching the final track. While vital organs such as the lungs and the heart will remain functional, the rest of the body, including all four limbs, will be rendered paralyzed. The subject will then begin to experience vivid visual, auditory, and tactile hallucinations for the duration of the track. These hallucinations involve the subject being submerged in a large body of water, usually inside of a confined space such as a well. Another recurring feeling is that of being pulled downwards by an unseen force, although descriptions of this force have varied between subjects. SCP-5182 was uploaded to Bandcamp on August 22nd, 2019. Twenty-four hours later, all four members of レンガ were reported missing. The album, titled But it is us you have forgotten, is their only known release. + Addendum: Lyrics - Addendum: Lyrics The following were taken from SCP-5182's Bandcamp page, which listed the official lyrics. The full tracks are considered to be non-anomalous when listened to independently of the album, and are available to staff if requested. Track #4: Leave me in my chains and throw my dress to the depths of hell [Spoken] You can never tell, can you? You take one look at the note, or two, or however many you like, but you can never quite figure out what they were thinking before they were gone. You might get angry at yourself. You might even realize how they felt, and that'll make you so angry you'll raise your fists to the sky and shout 'Oh my God! It was all right in front of me this whole time!' You'll weep for a dozen days and a dozen nights, but that still won't get rid of the feeling. By now, it's wrapped around your heart like a snake. Its venom is flowing through your veins, trying to make every breath your last. You can feel sweat washing over you. The angels are coming. Do you see them? Do they see you? [Spoken] I'm not going to take this shit from you anymore, Walter. You hear me? I'm done with it. All of it. You're not allowed to step foot in this house for as long as I live, and you're certainly not sleeping here. Not after what I've heard about you. You're sick, Walter, you're fucking sick. I don't care if you have to sleep in the gutters tonight, you're not spending another day here, especially with my kids! Go to a homeless shelter, a food bank. Go to the goddamn psych ward. Clearly that's what you need. Just get out of here, now! [Spoken] The funny thing is, is that in the end, this whole bloody thing was a mistake. You know, we never thought that we were gonna make it big in the first place, certainly not enough to live off of. The band—the band was just temporary solution to a big problem. A big, big problem, bigger than even you or me. Oh, don't be so surprised. We'll give you one more thing, this one tiny little gift. Don't be sad. We're dedicating this last project just for you. We dedicate this project to all of the prisonors in the world that are unfairly brought down. Thank you all, and goodbye. Track #6: ritual (falling, falling down) [Verse] Cold and lonely refusals The streets are empty at dawn The kids were never useful You're glad when they're gone Why are you so confused and Why are you so unwise? I'm so sick and tired Of helping you realign [Chorus] Inside your room Is something special And I hope that you hate it I hope you cry out in fear Inside your room Is someone special And I hope that you hate me Because nobody else is here [Verse] Disgusting flesh and bone That I do not claim Wraps around my chest And fills me with pain And you're always looking At me with those eyes So I just stay quiet And try not to die [Chorus] Inside your room Is something special And I hope that you hate it I hope you cry out in fear Inside your room Is someone special And I hope that you hate me Because nobody else is here Track #7: …hello [Indecipherable]2 + Addendum: Experiment Log - Addendum: Experiment Log Over the course of several experiments, Dr. █████ determined that by surgically altering a subject's larynx, eardrums, and brainstem through the use of SCP-███, it was possible to establish a line of communication between the researcher and the subject whilst they were under the effects of SCP-5182. Dr. █████ ordered one D-Class subject, D-25935, to undergo the surgery. Below is a transcript for the experiment that followed. Dr. █████: We're getting close. Close your eyes now, and only open them when I tell you to. You should start experiencing the hallucinations then. Don't panic, I'm right here. D-25935: Okay. D-25935 closes his eyes. Several seconds pass. D-25935 enters a comatose state. Dr. █████: Now. Can you hear me? D-25935: Um, yeah. Holy shit— Dr. █████: Yes! Quickly, tell me what you see. D-25935: Um. Okay, I'm in like a hole in the ground, I think. There's water down here. I'm falling. It's dark, very dark. I can barely see in front of me. There's a light coming from outside, I think it's night. And… oh fuck, there's something down here. I can feel it. I think it's… I think it's a hand. Dr. █████: Are you saying there's a creature down there with you? D-25935: Theres — um, yes. More than one. I can see their shadows a little bit. They look like… mermaids, almost. Ah fuck, one just grabbed my leg, and it's kind of pulling me down a little. It's not too hard, but it's making me sink. The rest are just… watching. I'm going to try to, um, pull away a little… Ah! Get me out! Get me out! Dr. █████: Not yet! What's happening? Are you hurt? D-25935: It's pulling harder! I'm fucking… ugh, just get me out! They're climbing on me. Argh! I'm throwing them off but they keep on… Get the fuck off me! Yeah, I'll fuck you up. Try me! I said try me, bitch! What the— D-25935 suddenly grows silent. Dr. █████: Hey? Are you there? D-25935, respond if you can still hear me. What's happening? D-25935: Nothing's happening. They're just… looking at me now. I can see them. Oh. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, that wasn't what you meant, was it? Shit, were you just doing that because you… Dr. █████: (distant) Cut the music! Okay, D-25935, we're getting you out of there. Alright? D-25935: No, hang on for a— + Addendum: Incident Report - Addendum: Incident Report The following is a report by a security guard that was monitoring D-25935 the days following the experiment. I passed by D-25935's cell and, looking inside, I could just see that something was up with him. he looked jumpy, like he was sure something was always right behind him. There was this look in his eyes, too. He looked so tired. I've seen many D-Class, I know what a depressed person looks like, but this was something different. He looked like a man on death row when their execution date was up. I saw him processing his own death. I entered to make sure that he didn't try and do anything to himself. I asked him if he was alright, and he just looked at me with this glassy look in his eyes. I asked him again if he was okay, and he told me to fuck off. So I walked over to him and he jumped me like a wild animal. He was scratching kicking and he spat in my eye — he tried to bite me at one point. I managed to get on top of him, but he kept on screaming a bunch of jibberish at me. He was crying. When he finally calmed down, I asked him, "What the hell are you saying?" It took him a few seconds to respond. When he said it, he was mumbling, so I told him to, "Speak up! I don't know what you're saying." He took a deep breath, and then he said something that really stuck with me for some reason. He said, "They're girls. There were girls down there. And… I-I think they wanted to leave with me." Footnotes 1. An electronic music subgenre inspired by vaporwave, grunge, and drone music. The ocean is commonly used as a metaphor for the hopelessness of society and the overpowering feeling the music is meant to give the listener. 2. Vocals are present, but due to a combination of heavy distortion, echo, and reverb, it is almost impossible to decipher them. After careful analysis, researchers have determined that the track consists of a single verse that is repeated three times, although the words have yet to be identified. _ _ We will be safe here In this shameful world we share I whisper you to sleep But I know you're not scared Because in a distant future In a time that's soon Somebody will stop and listen And come to rescue you ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5182" by redredred, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5183 | safe | Item#: 5183 Level1 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-5183 instances are to be contained in a secure item storage locker at Site-17 along with all known images of SCP-5183. No new photographs or other visual media of SCP-5183 may be created without permission from the current lead researcher. Description: SCP-5183 is the collective designation for a group of thaumaturgically enchanted objects that are capable of disguising themselves in every physical manner1 when directly viewed by a living organism. SCP-5183 instances are also able to transform their appearance when not directly observed in order to better blend into their environment. The true forms of SCP-5183-A through -C are as follows: A - A limestone rock with a mass of 2 kg. B - A reusable, metal water bottle of indeterminable brand. C - The skull of a small animal, believed to be a squirrel. Indirectly viewing an instance of SCP-5183 exposes an individual to its secondary effect. The affected individuals, hereafter referred to as SCP-5183-1 instances, who do not receive an amnestic within three hours of exposure begin suffering from high amounts of stress which result in hallucinations and intense paranoia within a few days. No known treatment has been found to cure an instance of SCP-5183-1 after this point. Discovery Log: All known SCP-5183 instances were found in the former residence of PoI-5183, Ramona Jimenez, along with several texts on the subject of thaumaturgy. PoI-5813 is believed to be a member of the Daughters of Eden. Addendum-1: SCP-5183's secondary effect was only noticed after its documentation was entering finalization under Researcher Clementine. Researcher Clementine had already been keeping a journal of his experiences, at his psychologist's request. The relevant entries from this journal are displayed below. Entry 1 - January 8th, 2019 I'm seeing it everywhere now, squirrel skulls in place of every sheet of paper. It's following me I swear. I've tried getting them to double-check its containment, to show them it's broken out, but they won't listen to me. What's so hard to believe about that? We have a talking, immortal lizard down the hall, but a magic skull that only I can see is crazy? I guess I know how everyone here REALLY feels about me. I've suspected they didn't like me for years, but I guess I know for sure now. I have half a mind to break into SCP-5183's containment chamber, but I already know they wouldn't listen to me anyway. Entry 2 - January 9th, 2019 My car had twice as much snow on it as the other cars when I went to leave yesterday. Are the others pranking me now? It feels like they're punishing me for something. Even the other drivers on the road to work today seemed to be deliberately getting in my way; one of them nearly crashed into me at an intersection when I had the right of way. I'd probably be dead if I didn't react quickly. Are the O5's after me? Too much seems to be happening too quickly, too conveniently to be coincidence; not that I believe in coincidences anyway. People are giving me funny looks too, not just the other researchers, but security and D-class too. Even the lunch lady seemed to look me over a moment or two longer than usual. I know I screwed up my last project, but this is just…. suspicious. The upper management is after me, I can feel it, and I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Entry 3 - January 11th, 2019 Alright, I went ahead and forged a few entries for my shrink; hopefully they won't suspect anything more than the others. I think I'm starting to put the pieces together on the O5's plan. They've got to be connected to the Daughters of Eden somehow; it's the only thing that makes sense. I think they've realized how impossible all this is, containing everything strange in the world and all. I bet they're planning on returning humanity to a more natural state, to put an end to it all, make us animals again, nice and simple. Now, I just need proof, I'm going to break into 5183's containment in a few days and see what I can find. They've got to be keeping all the evidence together. Addendum 2: Upon receiving disingenuous journal entries, Researcher Clementine's psychologist reported him, allowing security personnel to catch him breaking into SCP-5183's containment chamber. After being detained, it became clear that Clementine was suffering from delusions of persecution. He was subsequently amnesticized and sent to a mental health facility equipped to give him proper care. SCiPNET LOGIN name affiliation 3885e5c03c386bb54a3d68d2fd8b6ca6_1734915961 Login Login Logout As of January 15th, 2019, SCP-5183 has officially become employee dismissal cover #24; this cover story should be used sparingly. To lend it credibility, SCP-5183 was given a falsified secondary effect of causing stress and other mental detriments. Additionally, Mr. Clementine's journal entries were altered to include details regarding SCP-5183's supposed secondary effect, using his stress and delusions to support the existence of this effect. Apparently, reassigning the former researcher to lighter work after his mandatory leave of absence was not sufficient in relieving him of his afflictions. Acceptable cover stories utilizing dismissal cover #24 must employ believable details, such as a D-class acquiring a photo of SCP-5183 during a containment breach, in order to reduce suspicion. That being said, do not hesitate to dismiss problematic employees. We cannot afford to have people like Clementine working for us past their limit. To those that still hold reservations about lying to their subordinates, I have this to say: morale is low to start with in this line of work. To keep their spirits up, we tell everyone that people are on leave after being affected by an SCP and reassigned, keeping them hopeful about their colleagues and their own futures. The psychology reports suggest that it helps, and we need all the help we can get. -Dr. Neptune, Chief of Staff. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5184 | euclid | ITEM #: SCP-5184 OBJECT CLASS: Euclid SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: SCP-5184 is currently held in a small standard animal containment cell, designed to resemble a standard woodland environment. A feeding schedule has been implemented in accordance with SCP-5184’s dietary needs. Electrical devices, especially internet-accessible technology, are not allowed within SCP-5184’s containment cell. The only exception to this is in the case of interviews, during which it may utilize a specialized computer that only runs a word processor program. A photo of SCP-5184 taken prior to containment. DESCRIPTION: SCP-5184 is a rodent specimen of the family Sciuridae1. DNA sampling has shown that SCP-5184 is an unknown species of Sciuridae, showing similarities to multiple species. SCP-5184’s anomalous properties manifest when its teeth make contact with electrical wiring. SCP-5184 cannot be damaged by electricity and is able to send electrical signals out through its teeth to the device it is connected to. These signals operate as input commands, allowing SCP-5184 to access these electronics as though it were a human, despite not utilizing a mouse or keyboard. SCP-5184 can understand human language and communicate back through electronic devices. SCP-5184 has shown itself to be fluent in both English and Scottish Gaelic. Testing has shown that SCP-5184 has intelligence roughly comparable to a human. Significant addiction issues related to alcohol and smoking are ongoing with SCP-5184. While useful as incentives for testing, the health risks of a chipmunk consuming a full can of beer and smoking cigarettes regularly have been deemed too high to be allowed to continue. Addiction recovery programs are ongoing. Discovery: An investigation was launched into St. Andrew’s House in Edinburgh after reports from MTF Iota-10 ("Damn Feds") arose concerning a chipmunk continually eating electrical wires safely came concurrently with reports of electronic tampering from an unknown source pushing a second Scottish Independence Referendum. An example of some of the media SCP-5184 distributed through anomalous capabilities. SCP-5184 was located and attempts to bring it into Foundation custody by MTF Lambda-12 ("Pest Control") began but were halted after SCP-5184 threatened to destroy a significant amount of electronic government property. SCP-5184 was eventually lured into a beer-related trap and brought to the Foundation. Open Interview Log-5184 Credentials Accepted Interviewee: Dr. Dromeus Interviewer: SCP-5184 Notes: SCP-5184 communicated through a specialized computer running only a word processor. [BEGIN LOG] Dr. Dromeus: Good afternoon, SCP-5184. SCP-5184: get tae fuck arsehole! Dr. Dromeus: Okay, let’s try and be civil here and we can both get what we want.

Dr. Dromeus: If we can keep the insults slung to a minimum, that’d be excellent, thank you. SCP-5184: git fucked Dr. Dromeus: Okay then. So, your plan was to utilize your abilities to influence Scottish politics to push for another Scottish Independence Referendum, am I correct? SCP-5184: YE DAMN WELL KEN IT THEY KINNAE STOP US Dr. Dromeus: You do know the first one was rejected by popular opinion, right? What makes you think a second one will work? SCP-5184: ITLL WORK CUZ ILL MAKE IT WORK OUR BRAW COUNTRY DESERVES HER PLACE IN TAE WORLD Dr. Dromeus: I see. Now if you could calm down again- SCP-5184: fuck off Dr. Dromeus: -we’re almost done here. Could you please elaborate more on your abilities? SCP-5184: no Dr. Dromeus: Remember, cooperation is essential. You do want a beer, don’t you? SCP-5184: ye will never git ma secrets ya damn yank (Dr. Dromeus sighs) Dr. Dromeus: I’m on your side. Could you please help us out here? SCP-5184: no Dr. Dromeus: Fine, moving on. There’s just one final question: how did you reach Scotland? SCP-5184: ive always been here at least until ya put me in this dreich place. Dr. Dromeus: Interesting. I would like to know more. As you would know, there are no chipmunks native to Scotland. So- SCP-5184: what did ye say Dr. Dromeus: There are no chipmunks native to Scotland. SCP-5184: not true Dr. Dromeus: I’m afraid that’s a fact. All chipmunks in Scotland have been classified as invasive alien species. SCP-5184: yer lying Dr. Dromeus: Ah, so you didn’t know. I’m sorry. SCP-5184: but Scotland’s ma home Dr. Dromeus: I understand SCP-5184: shut up just shut up ya fucker it is nae true im done yer fucking interviews over (SCP-5184 disconnects from the computer and refuses to return to it) [END LOG] ADDENDUM 5184-1: As of the events of interview 5184-1, SCP-5184 has been in a depressive state. Demonstrated behavior includes eating less and refusing to conduct interviews. Dr. Dromeus has been reprimanded for the interview. Alright, I made a mistake. I thought this was something it knew and it clearly wasn’t. I propose we tread lightly and give it space for now. After all, it can’t be easy when your own home decides you’re not welcome. -Dr. Dromeus Footnotes 1. Commonly known as chipmunks. |
SCP-5185 | safe | Item #: SCP-5185 Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-5185 are to be located and secured by Site-37 staff. SCP-5185 instances are to be contained in a dog day care center within Site-37 with a chain link fence separating them from research personnel. Description: SCP-5185 are an unclassified subspecies of giant house spider (Eratigena atrica). Each possesses the physical, psychological, and social needs of an average domesticated canine. When first brought into Foundation care, each SCP-5185 instance was approximately the size of a six to ten week-old puppy, with their internal biology modified to allow them to survive at this size. Each instance has since grown to the size of a border collie (45.72 cm - 55.88 cm tall). SCP-5185 instances also have a base level of intelligence congruent with that of an average border collie. SCP-5185 instances have been observed showing aggressive behaviour towards staff, charging at researchers while making high pitched noises similar to growling, biting the chain link fence, and lunging. Instances of SCP-5185 were purchased from a renovated Coca-Cola branded vending machine on the sidewalk of 6th Street, Macaque, Il. The dispenser, designated SCP-5185-A, had five compartments made from plexiglas with a fleece blanket at the bottom of every compartment. Each contained one instance of SCP-5185. Despite what is advertised on the flyer, no purchase from SCP-5185-A has produced anything matching the description of a "fine dog." Flyer for SCP-5185. Other flyers have been found reading “please adopt spider” and “free spider. just take.” Addendum 5185-1: Video log from SCP-5185’s containment unit. Each instance is designated a number, 1-7. <Begin Log> 7:13 AM: SCP-5185-1 wakes up after being kicked in the abdomen by SCP-5185-4. It turns to a different sleeping position before resting its head 7:24 AM: SCP-5185-6 sits up and drinks water from its water bowl. It walks over to the play set and picks up a chew toy. 7:26 AM: SCP-5185-1 looks around before bounding over to SCP-5185-6. It picks up one of its legs and bats SCP-5185-6. It looks inquisitively at SCP-5185-1, dropping the chew toy. SCP-5185-1 picks up a rope toy, shaking it around in its jaws. 7:28 AM: SCP-5185-6 grabs the rope toy, starting a tug-of-war match with SCP-5185-1. 7:30 AM: SCP-5185-1 loses. It picks up the chew toy SCP-5185-6 dropped before and sits down. 7:31 AM: SCP-5185-4 wakes up due to the commotion, followed by SCP-5185-5, SCP-5185-2, and SCP-5185-7. 7:32 AM: SCP-5185-6 cocks its head before running over SCP-5185-1 and tackling it. A play fight ensues. 7:33 AM: SCP-5185-4 hops up and joins the fight. 7:34 AM: The three instances join into a dog pile while continuing to play fight. 7:36 AM: The three instances get tired of play fighting, deciding to climb on the play set instead. Other instances soon awaken and join. 7:40 AM: Instances of SCP-5185 notice bowls of food and run over to eat. 8:01 AM: Instances are separated for personal training. <End Log> Addendum 5185-2: Several undercover Foundation employees contacted the “finedadoinstagram” account about the lack of dogs being dispensed from SCP-5185-A. This interaction produced an interview. June 14th, 2019 3:54 PM Hello? Is this dado? hello yes this is fine dado instagram. Can I ask you a question? dado sees no reason to say no. Alright, why does your advertisement say “get fine dog free” when there are no dogs being dispensed? dado did not give u fine dog? You did not. I have a dog sized spider. dado sees. dado gave u fine spider so dado sees no issue. though spider much like dog. dado sees not y u r complaining. Right.

SCP-5186 | keter | Item #: SCP-5186 Level 4/5186 Classified Border of SCP-5186's area of effect Special Containment Procedures: The area containing SCP-5186 is to be routinely patrolled by Foundation naval vessels. Any unauthorised vessels approaching the area are to be redirected and provided with the cover story that the space is part of a long-term conservation effort. All Foundation crew members involved with containment are to routinely report in with medical staff to assess for potential exposure to SCP-5186. Should a crew mate express any distinct symptoms1, medical staff are authorised to administer amnestics across all potentially affected crew. In the event that a patrolling Foundation vessel drifts into SCP-5186's range, all involved personnel should initiate the Blindside Protocol with immediate effect. Under no circumstances should a vessel open fire at any perceived entity without sonar confirmation from Site-39. Description: SCP-5186 is a behavioural phenomenon linked to a 50km diameter area of open water off the coast of Chile. Any individuals entering SCP-5186's space will initially experience mild discomfort, often complaining about feelings of nausea and restlessness. Further travel into the area will inevitably cause subjects to believe they are being watched by an entity in the water. Affected individuals are unable to physically see the entity, and all attempts to locate one with sonar equipment have so far failed. Regardless, subjects will eventually conclude whatever is watching them is large enough to completely devour both themselves and any vessel they may be situated on. This effect remains consistent regardless of vessel size. A person's belief that the entity watching them is real will only become stronger as they move further in. Examination of an affected subject's brain activity shows heightened stimulation of the amygdala2. This effect is consistent across all subjects, and suggests a natural 'fight-or-flight' response specific to SCP-5186. Depending on the subject's mental state and the distance travelled into SCP-5186's area, this fear response3 can induce severe anxiety, dread, and depression. Deployment of Chimera from Site-39. Discovery: SCP-5186 was initially brought to the Foundation's attention in 1987 following the loss of a Columbian research vessel. The missing team were investigating 'The Depths that Hunger', a sea shanty spread amongst posted sailors during the 16th Century (see Recovered Document 10-B for further details). Analysis reports indicated the vessel had been written off as lost to storms by local coast guard. However, an inquiry carried out by the Foundation revealed a large portion of water which had been intentionally avoided by search and rescue teams during their investigation4. Following reports of a potential hostile entity by exploration groups, Foundation naval vessel Chimera was deployed to assess the threat. One hour after entry, site command received a distress signal from the vessel before Chimera proceeded to open fire at the surrounding water. All orders to stop were ignored. This behaviour continued for approximately 20 minutes before a detonation onboard5 tore a hole in the port side hull. Despite possessing the means to repair the damage, the crew retreated to the uppermost deck and the vessel sank. 62 lives were lost. A secure perimeter was established and containment procedures were enacted on 06/08/1988. Further refinement of the perimeter was put in place in 1993 following additional D-Class testing. Recovered Document 10-B: The following is a partial transcript of the shanty 'The Depths That Hunger', a song with potential links to SCP-5186. The document was recovered from the home of Dr. Gabriela Rening, one of the missing Columbian researchers, during the Foundation's initial investigation. According to Dr Rening's notes, the song itself has existed as far back as 1513. 'Beware beware the beast beneath, of eyes and shadow and maws and teeth, With baleful gaze that chills the bone, beware beware the thing not known.' 'Beware beware the storms at night, that drag young sailors to their plight, For down below a horror slumbers, beware beware the depths that hunger.' 'Beware beware the silent sea, its dreaded aura causing men to flee, For in the depths the beast does lie, beware beware its watching eye.' 'Beware beware the one that waits, its endless maw sealing our fates, No one is safe, neither old nor younger, beware beware the depths that hunger.' 'Beware beware the shifting tides, where deep below a darkness lies, If mind and body you wish to keep, beware beware the broken deep.' 'Beware beware the lurking threat, no man can ever truly forget, Ready to claim those in storm and thunder, beware beware the depths that hunger' SCP-5186 Effects Test Log Excerpts PROCEDURE: D-1924 told to ride an unmanned dinghy into SCP-5186's range. RESULT: Dinghy travels approximately 14 kilometres in before D-1924 suddenly falls unconscious. NOTES: See Experiment Log D-1924 for further details. PROCEDURE: D-3416 outfitted with SCUBA gear and a vocal transducer before swimming into SCP-5186's space approximately 20 metres below surface level. RESULT: D-3416 swims 8 kilometres before suddenly halting. Subject refuses to look down, abandoning their breathing equipment in an attempt to quickly reach the surface. D-3416 drowns approximately 70 seconds later. NOTES: 10 minutes prior to their death, D-3416 kept vocalising concerns about 'nothing but jaws just waiting to kill (them)'. PROCEDURE: D-4725 outfitted with SCUBA gear and lowered into the epicentre of SCP-5186's range by helicopter. RESULT: During the lowering procedure, the pilot suddenly initiates an emergency flight maneuver that throws both D-4725 and two other crew members into the water, killing them on impact. NOTES: Following this incident, the use of aircraft for testing purposes has been prohibited. Consideration for extending SCP-5186's range 100 metres above sea level has been made. Attached File: + Experiment Log D-1924 - Experiment Log D-1924 Experiment Log D-1924: Testing Purposes: To gain a better understanding of SCP-5186 and potentially locate a source of its anomalous effect. Additional Information: Subject was equipped with standard audiovisual recording devices and a life jacket. Additionally, the unmanned dinghy has been fitted with an onboard camera for monitoring purposes. Exploration was observed by Dr. Harking at Site-39. For brevity, the following log begins approximately 10 minutes after initial entry into SCP-5186's space. <Begin Log> D-1924: Hey, doc? There ain't any sharks out here, right? Dr. Harking: I can't say we know for certain I'm afraid. D-1924: (laughing) Fair enough. (whispered) Sea air's probably fucking with me anyways. Dr. Harking: D-1924, please elaborate. D-1924: I'm just not used to being so far out in the ocean, that's all. Got me feeling kinda antsy. Being stuck on this thing doesn't make things any easier, that's for damn sure. Dr. Harking: Just stay focused on the mission, please. D-1924: (sighs) You got it, doc. Dinghy continues forward without issue. D-1924 is noticeably irritable, but remains seated. Subject travels for three kilometres without any major issues. After staring at the surrounding ocean for a short while, D-1924 becomes suddenly active. He stands up and begins to peer down into the water. D-1924: (long pause) I think there's something down there. Dr. Harking: Pardon? D-1924: In the water. I think there's something down in the water. Dr. Harking: (away from mic) We might have something. (pause) Did you see anything? D-1924: No…I mean, I don't think so. But I can definitely feel it. Like—like it's staring at me. Right now, in fact. Dr. Harking: I see. (pause) Could you give us a quick look underwater please? D-1924: Uhh, yeah…of course. Camera feed is angled downwards into the water. No life is immediately visible. D-1924: I think it's too far down, doc. (pause) Whatever it is. Dr. Harking: Understood. Continue as normal, but try and keep an eye out for it if you can. D-1924: Sure thing… The subject continues to check the sides of the boat for any movement below. Given the depth of the surrounding ocean, it's impossible to make anything out beyond 100 metres. The subject appears nervous of this fact. Dinghy travels an additional four kilometres before D-1924 begins shuffling away from the sides of the boat. D-1924: Something…something's not right, doc. I don't think I should be out here. Dr. Harking: I'm afraid you don't have much choice in the matter. D-1924: No, I'm serious. I'm not supposed to be out here. (pause) If I keep going I think it's going to hurt me. Dr. Harking: What's going to hurt you? Can you describe it? D-1924: I—I don't know. Something wrong…in the dark. I can feel it staring at me—from everywhere. It's like it's everywhere underneath me. When asked to look into the water again, the subject is far more reluctant to do so. The camera feed fails to pick anything up. Dr. Harking: D-1924, are you in any way afraid of the ocean? D-1924: Wha—I mean, no, not really. (sounding frustrated) But this isn't the same, doc. It's real. It feels real. Like I've always known whatever's down there isn't to be fucked with. Dr. Harking: And what do you think is down there, exactly? D-1924: (pause) I don't think I want to be out here anymore. Dr. Harking: You're going to be fine, D-1924. Dinghy proceeds with its journey towards SCP-5186's epicentre. At this point, D-1924 has chosen to sit in the middle of the boat. The subject maintains eye contact with the floor. In the last few hours since D-1924 set off, they've travelled approximately 9 kilometres. Subject's breathing has become noticeably more rapid. D-1924: (whispered) It's getting closer. Dr. Harking: What was that, D-1924? D-1924: (long pause) It's just a feeling. I know it doesn't make any sense but—but it's freaking me out. Something bad down there…it's—it's getting closer. And bigger. I think—(glancing around)—I think it might be too late. Dr. Harking: D-1924, what on earth are you talking about? D-1924: It's like everything part of me wants to just—to just get out here. I've got to get out of here. (whispered) Please get me out of here. D-1924 begins moving towards the back of the boat. Dr. Harking: Calm down. Everything's going to be fine. Just a little further now. D-1924: No, doc! You don't get it—I've—I've got to get out. (glancing around) If you turn me around now, I might still make it. Dr. Harking: You know that's not possible. Not yet anyways. We still haven't even seen this 'creature'. D-1924: (heavy breathing) Dr. Harking: Now why don't you calm down for a moment and explain to me wha- D-1924: No no no, there's no time. It's getting clo—(choking sounds)—it's nearly here, man! Just turn me the fuck around! Please, man! Dr. Harking: (away from mic) Speed it up. We're getting close now. The dinghy's speed is increased by 5 knots. The sudden acceleration forces D-1924 on to the floor. D-1924: No no no what are you doing? What are you doing? D-1924 is quickly taken past the 12 kilometer threshold at this point. Subject begs to be taken back, but all pleas are ignored. Another 2 kilometers go by and D-1924 falls completely silent. Subject has curled up in the foetal position, completely obscuring the camera. A faint dripping sound can be heard. Doctor Harking makes multiple attempts to communicate with D-1924, but to no response. The camera feed suddenly lights up once more as D-1924's left arm unfurls and hits the floor. The hand remains motionless. Subject's skin is incredibly pale and covered in moisture. The camera is slowly rotated upwards to face the sky as the dinghy tips D-1924's unconscious body onto its back. <End Log> - Experiment Log D-1924 D-1924 was successfully recovered eight hours later following the recall of their vessel. Subject notably regained consciousness midway through the return journey, but showed an extreme reluctance to move from their current position. Amnestic therapy has proven effective at treating D-1924's manifested thalassophobia. Addendum: Currently, the Foundation has been unable to identify the source of SCP-5186. However, given the potential for a Leviathan-class6 hostile entity, exploration teams were deployed to gain conclusive evidence. Attached Files: + Exploration Log 1 - Exploration Log 1 Exploration Video Log Transcript 1 Exploration Purpose: To locate the source of SCP-5186 and to identify any anomalous entities associated with it. Assigned Personnel: Counter-Phobia Specialists Orion-12 ("Gage's Pioneers") Additional Information: Orion-12 have all undergone experimental neural modifications, making them resistant to fear-inducing anomalies. All members were equipped with high pressure suits and recording equipment. Additional scanning equipment was distributed amongst all members. Exploration was observed by Doctor Harking at Site 39. [BEGIN LOG] Ori-Markram: Coms check, go. Ori-Sapolsky: Sapolsky, loud and clear. Ori-O'Keefe: This is O'Keefe. Ori-Greenfield: Greenfield here. Ori-Markram: You get all that, Doc? Dr. Harking: Affirmative. Communications are stable. I assume you all remember the briefing? Ori-Markram: Correct. Reports of some kind of aquatic hostile. Possibly cloaked. Big by the sounds of it. Ori-O'Keefe: But there hasn't been any confirmed attacks, right? Dr. Harking: It's hard to say. Getting anyone to talk about it clearly is—(sigh)—difficult. Ori-Markram: And you're sure it's not just a cognitohazard? Some sort of perception alterer? Dr. Harking: Well…(sighs) we really just don't know. I'm not happy about any of it, but truth be told we can't afford to ignore this. I want to cover every angle, and you guys are my best shot. Ori-Sapolsky: (whistles) Looks like we've got a real doozy on our hands then. Ori-Markram: Okay team, you know the drill. Once we're in the water, standard line formation. Then we'll fan out from there. Dr. Harking: Happy fishing team. Orion-12 proceed to dive into the waters of SCP-5186. As expected, no team members show any symptoms of SCP-5186 exposure. Following several hours of exploration, the team fail to notice any signs of life. Sapolsky and O'Keefe are both elected to swim further down whilst the other two continue their search near the surface. Ori-O'Keefe: Okay, preparations made. Moving out now. The diving team proceeds to move further down. Light levels at this depth are significantly reduced, and both team members are forced to activate their flashlights. Both camera feeds depict nothing but water. Ori-Sapolsky: Not picking up much yet, Doctor. Visibility is definitely an issue. Dr. Harking: And nothing is showing on the sonar, correct? Ori-O'Keefe: Affirmative. Looks like we're the only ones down here right now. Site-39: Understood. Continue closing in on that central location. If the effect radius hasn't moved in this long, then maybe it hasn't either. Ori-O'Keefe: Agreed. Both divers continue to swim for another two hours with no encounters. Ori-O'Keefe: Hang on, I might have something here. Ori-Markram: Go on. Ori-O'Keefe: I made a quick signal check with the scanners, just to be sure. (brief pause) I'm actually picking up something beneath us. Unknown frequency. Could be a misfire though. Ori-Markram: Hold on, O'Keefe. Doctor, do we know if there's any drone units down there? Something with a transmitter? Long pause. Dr. Harking: Negative. All nearby units were pulled when you guys moved in. Is there a problem? Ori-Markram: Unclear. We'll get back to you in a sec. O'Keefe, do you still copy? Ori-O'Keefe: Yes, sir. Ori-Markram: Triangulate that signal and investigate. Have Sapolsky go first if he can hear this. Me and Greenfield will try and meet you halfway. Ori-Sapolsky: Understood. Team proceeds as planned. Sapolsky heads towards the signal source with the coordinates provided by O'Keefe. Approximately 20 minutes later, Sapolsky reports that he's reached the seafloor. Dr. Harking: Okay Sapolsky, do you have eyes on the source? Ori-Sapolsky: Negative. All I'm seeing is rock down here. Not much else. Dr. Harking: But—but there has to be more to this…you're certain you're at the right coordinates? Ori-Sapolsky: Yes sir. Dr. Harking: And you didn't encounter anything along the way? Ori-Sapolsky: Negative. Nothing but endless water I'm afraid. Dr. Harking: I see. (brief pause) Wait. Can you confirm your current depth for me, Sapolsky? Ori-Sapolsky: Hang on. Approximately (incorrect value). Long pause. Dr. Harking: According to the topographical data within this area, you should have at least another 300 metres to go. Ori-Sapolsky: (brief pause) Oh. Ori-Markram: Shit. The rest of the team begin to quickly converge on the signal's position. Sapolsky is instructed to carry out a more thorough investigation of their surroundings. Dr. Harking: What's down there? Ori-Greenfield: It's too dark. Ori-O'Keefe: Flashlights aren't much use either. Ori-Markram: Sapolsky, you got a better visual yet? No response. Ori-Markram: Sapolsky? (pause) Michaels? (pause) Doc, Sapolsky isn't responding. Is he still on coms? Dr. Harking: The connection's weak but yes, he should be. The camera feed is too patchy though. I can't make anything out. Ori-O'Keefe: He can't be far from the signal source, sir. Ori-Markram: Agreed. Everyone on me. Keep your eyes peeled. The remaining team members move in on Sapolsky's last known location. Besides the teams movements, there is no sound. Doctor Harking continues trying to make contact with the missing teammate. O'Keefe and Greenfield proceed to check the rocky surface Sapolsky initially encountered whilst Markram looks for him further upwards. Ori-Greenfield: Nothing down here, sir. (brief pause) Just more rock. Ori-O'Keefe: Signal's definitely coming from here, but the thermal's aren't showing anything. Ori-Greenfield: Just more rock. Ori-O'Keefe: It really doesn't look like much up close. I'm coming to join you, Greenfield. Need to look at the wider picture maybe. Ori-Markram: Just keep an eye out for Michaels, will you? (pause) Wait, up there! Dr. Harking: What is it? Ori-Markram: I've found Sapolsky. (pause) He's unresponsive, but breathing. Ori-O'Keefe: (exhales). Ori-Markram: I think he's gone catatonic. Ori-Greenfield: Just…more rock. Dr. Harking: Greenfield, your comms are lagging. Ori-O'Keefe: Wait…Greenfield? Ori-Markram: What's wrong? Ori-Greenfield: More…rock. Ori-O'Keefe: Greenfield, what is it? Dr. Harking: I can't see anything. What's happening? Ori-Markram: I don't know. (pause) Guys, what's going on? Ori-Greenfield: More—more—rock? Ori-O'Keefe: Sir, it's Greenfield. (brief pause) I think she's compromised. Ori-Markram: Fuck. (exhales) Okay, whatever you do, O'Keefe, don't move. I'm heading towards your position now. Ori-O'Keefe: Sir, it's like she's…pointing at something. Beneath us. Dr. Harking: Hang on—pointing at what exactly? Ori-Markram: Forget it, Doc. The mission is out of the question now. O'Keefe, prepare for— Dr. Harking: What's down there, operative? Ori-O'Keefe: I—I don't know. (brief pause) It's hard to tell. Ori-Markram: Just hold on, I'm nearly there. Ori-O'Keefe: (long pause) I'm holding on. Ori-Markram: Right I'm here, I'm here. (pause) Yep, same as Sapolsky. Dammit. Okay, O'Keefe, get the tethers out. You link with Greenfield and I'll take Sapolsky. I'm aborting the mission. Ori-O'Keefe: The…mission? Ori-Markram: Yes, the goddamn—(long pause). O'Keefe, what are you looking at? Ori-O'Keefe: Looking…looking down…the mission? Ori-Markram: … Dr. Harking: What's wrong with the audio? Ori-Markram: It's not the audio. (sighs) Operative down. Ori-O'Keefe: Down…nothing looking down…holding on to nothing. Dr. Harking: What—Markram, what the hell is going on? Ori-Markram: (brief pause) Something's down there. Something they've all seen. (sighs) Listen, I'm gonna try and drag O'Keefe up with me. Maybe—maybe we can figure out what this really is later. Dr. Harking: I see…and the others? Ori-Markram: Going back for them would be too dangerous. They'll have both sunk further down by now…I can't risk looking for them, Doc. Dr. Harking: Understood, Markram. You're clear to retreat. (away from mic) Get an extraction team at the ready immediately. Ori-Markram: (whispered) Let's get you home, buddy. Ori-O'Keefe: Home…nothing but home…below…below me? Several hours pass before Markram surfaces with O'Keefe in tow. An evaluation reveals that the affected specialist experienced severe cognitive stress similar to a 'sudden loss of reality'. All attempts to revive O'Keefe from his catatonic state fail. Extraction of both Sapolsky and Greenfield is considered too risky; both specialists have since been deemed KIA. Reevaluation of exploration methods put into consideration. + Exploration Log 2 - Exploration Log 2 Exploration Video Log Transcript 2 Exploration Purpose: To locate the signal source initially detected by Orion-12 and to uncover any potential links to SCP-5186. Assigned Personnel: Deep Sea Rover Unit I-12 Additional Information: Following the events of Orion-12's exploration, an unmanned drone running the prototype GeLZ intelligence programme is deployed to counteract any potential memetics or cognitohazards. Using the signal source coordinates, the drone is deployed onto the seafloor and sent into SCP-5186's space. Exploration was observed by Doctor Harking at Site 39. [BEGIN LOG] Dr. Harking: Systems check, I-12. Are we good to go? Rover I-12: Affirmative. Coordinates locked. Approaching target now. Rover proceeds to move towards Orion-12's last known location before extraction. The seafloor is somewhat uneven, making traversal difficult. Rover I-12: Frequency detected. Faint. Beyond audible spectrum. Dr. Harking: Ah, that must be what the last team picked up on. Can you synthesise it at all? Rover I-12: Negative. Too weak. Must get closer. Drone continues forward. Several hours pass. Rover I-12: Inconsistency detected. Abnormal incline encountered (62%). Dr. Harking: An incline? (brief pause) You must be at the same point the Pioneer's got to. Rover I-12: Sudden topographical material shift detected. Obtaining sample for identification. Please hold. Processing… Analysis: Calcium (85%) Phosphorus (5%) Unknown (?%) Assessment: Foreign biological material identified. Dr. Harking: Wait…you've found—you've found it? Is—is it alive? Rover I-12: Negative. No life signs detected. Biological material appears to be in an advanced state of decay. Type = Remains (Fossilized) Age = Unknown. No baseline decay model to compare. Size = Undetermined. Fragments appear partially imbedded. Course of action? Dr. Harking: Well I'll be damned…map out a full 3D layout if you can and send me the data. I want to get a better look at this thing…whatever it is. Rover I-12: Understood. Beginning scanning procedure now. Doctor Harking doesn't hear from the rover unit for several more hours. Both its audio and visual feeds fail to pick up much in the dark. Dr. Harking: I-12, what's taking so long? Rover I-12: Scanning still in progress. Please hold. Scan progress made: 00000000.1%. Estimated time until completion: 999999h Dr. Harking: Wait, what? (brief pause) What's going on? Triangulation of the drone's signal shows that it's moving around in a continuous circle. It's travelled approximately 2 metres from its initial scan point. Rover I-12: Initial interpretations available. Analysis: I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I- Error. Mapping cannot be accurately carried out. Dr. Harking: (sounding frustrated) Why not? Rover I-12: Error. Entity does not conform to baseline perceived reality. Cannot interpret visually. Cannot understand. What is entity? Dr. Harking: (sigh) I was hoping you could tell me. Rover I-12: Negative. Dimensions are illogical. Appearance is illogical. What is entity? Dr. Harking: Forget about it for now, I-12. Abandon the scanning procedure. Rover I-12: But what—but what—but what—but what— Dr. Harking: Goddammit! At this point, Dr. Harking is forced to reboot the drone's systems and memory remotely. The drone's visual equipment is also deactivated to prevent further malfunctions. I-12's mission parameters are now only focused on extracting a copy of the frequency. Dr. Harking: Okay okay okay. (exhales) Just breathe, Adam. I-12, do you have a better connection to the signal? Rover I-12: Affirmative. Strength of frequency has increased significantly. Abnormality detected. Signal appears to be emitting from biological matter. Method unknown. Course of action? Dr. Harking: From the wha—? Nevermind. Just get me a copy sent immediately. I need at least something to get my head wrapped around! Rover I-12: Frequency successfully duplicated. Sending copy now. Dr. Harking: (camly) Okay…this is good. Thank you I-12. That'll be all for now. (away from mic) You got it yet? (pause) Good. Play it back for me. See if you can make any sense of what the hell is go— All communications with Site-39 cut out as SCP-5186 makes its presence known. Evacuation protocols are quickly initiated. ATTENTION: SITE-39 DIRECTOR'S NOTICE Following Doctor Harking's reckless behaviour, Doctor Langley will be taking over all research projects relating to SCP-5186 effective immediately. All other research efforts are to be temporarily put on hold until further notice. Incident-01: Two days after Site-39's exposure to SCP-5186, on-site security teams were forced to respond to a Code Blue containment breach incident. According to the security logs, a Level 4 Clearance card was used to unlock SCP-████'s cell. A number of structures were damaged during the incident, including the recently established SCP-5186 Research Wing; a fire had reportedly ignited in one of the labs, destroying multiple sensitive documents. 14 staff were killed during the incident. Doctor Harking has remained unaccounted for. The following document was recovered from his office.

As archiving is an outdated process, this page will not be redirected. The only thing that this process still changes on a front-end level is the Object Class. — Maria Jones, Director, RAISA Item #: SCP-5187 Clearance: 2/Memetic - 4/General Note: The General Clearance was increased, to prevent Miscommunications from accessing this file. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5187 is to be researched using Standard Procedure, by the Central Memetics Department. Description: SCP-5187 is a standard cognitohazard. SCP-5187 is carried in a photograph and causes subjects to experience a mix of longing and fear of something they deem vast and outside of their understanding when looking at it. SCP-5187 can only take effect when the subject is outside. Note: The fact that it only works outside suggests a poorer quality of production. COGNITOHAZARD EMBEDDED. VIEWING IS ADVISED ONLY WITH LEVEL 2 MEMETIC RESISTANCE OR HIGHER VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK Discovery: The photograph of SCP-5187 was pinned to a side wall in Manhatten, New York when it was noticed by PANOPTICON1 and marked as a potential cognitohazard. The local Containment Team was ordered to retrieve the photo and bring it to the nearest Memetic Department Site. Effect Test: Test Resources Results Exposure to SCP-5187 outdoors 10 D-Class with Naval background All D-Class felt inspired to sail again Exposure to SCP-5187 outdoors 5 D-Class with astronomical background (Scarcity of resource) All but one D-Class described both longing and fear to go to space Longterm exposure to SCP-5187 outdoors 1 D-Class with astronomical background Subject described the fear of a scientific breakthrough. Exposure to SCP-5187 outdoors 10 D-Class with artistic background D-Class described various fears. Additionally, all D-Class felt motivated to produce more art Exposure to SCP-5187 outdoors 10 D-Class selected for their lack of creativity No significant deviation from the Control Group Longterm exposure to SCP-5187 outdoors 10 D-Class selected for their lack of creativity All D-Class expressed fear towards various minor hobbies Exposure to SCP-5187 outdoors 10 tainted2 randomly selected D-Class Standard effects were reduced by roughly 50% [DATA OMITTED FOR BREVITIY] Note: Other departments have drastically decreased their D-Class usage, preventing us from transferring ours to them anymore. If we do not want to rely solely on tainted D-Class, efforts should be made to increase D-Class usage back to its former level. Creative Analysis: (Written by one of the test subjects) I know there were other parts, but it was the darkness on that photo that really pulled me in. It was like that night, back when I still went stargazing, with a night so clear you can see the distance of the stars. The depths between them. It's one of those things a camera can never really capture. Because the camera does not understand the sheer endless gap that connects one celestial to the other. But our heart does. And I am drawn to that hole, the vacuum antithetical to life; I want to fill it with just the most minuscule of motion and get trapped in its freedom far and wide from any help. Note: Is creative analysis in this age still necessary? It's the only stain on an otherwise clean procedure.

Note: In response to the message we received. Notes in the document are the best way of documentation and communication. It is not our concern that smaller departments prefer more inconvenient methods, like embedding e-mails into the article. Apprehension: Due to its focus on art inspiration and the low purity of cognitohazard conveyance, it is assumed that SCP-5187 was created by an individual associating with GoI-0267 ("Are We Cool Yet?"), since work of this quality is in accordance with this GOI's more rudimentary cognitohazard creation. A meme was constructed, to instil the idea in the subject to visit a designated meeting point in Manhattan. This meme was constructed in a way that will most likely only affect individuals associating with the themes of SCP-5187 and GOI-0267. The local containment team has been instructed to observe the meeting point. The meme has been released to the public to catch the subject. Note: This containment team seems to fulfill our standards. Should we order a reassignment? Reproduction: A separate team of Central Memetics Department researchers has been tasked with reproducing SCP-5187 based solely on the concepts SCP-5187 is made of. The team did not have access to SCP-5187. After 2 weeks the team was able to reproduce a version of SCP-5187. Additionally, the conveyance purity could be increased by 32%, and Background Concepts reduced by 9%. This version of SCP-5187 now requires at least Level 3 Memetic Resistance for full neutralization. Interview: As expected the creator of the first version of SCP-5187 arrived at the designated meeting point and was apprehended. An interview was deemed unnecessary. The subject was amnesticized and released to the public. This file is archived since all research has been completed. All information about SCP-5187 can now be found in the concept and cognitohazard repository under NOO-745933. Access SCiPNET Email? One (1) new message! Re:SUBJECT To: Central Memetics Department From: Explanation and Research Department Subject: Reexplaining Project: SCP-5187 As part of the Reexplaining Project, my department is proposing reopening research into SCP-5187. ExaRD has filed SCP-5187 as a "potential anomaly". In its current state, this file does not provide sufficient evidence for anomalous behaviour. The observed reactions can easily be attributed to normal emotional responses, which may or may not be the intention of the artist. At the very least more creative analysis should be considered. Regards Director Weld To: Explanation and Research Department From: Central Memetics Department Subject: Re:Reexplaining Project: SCP-5187 There is no reason for reopening the archived file of NOO-745933. The research was completed using Standard Procedure, no further action is required. The paranormal science of memetics is completely understood, but recognizing its nuances requires a certain expertise in this field. We therefore highly suggest not to take any further inquiries into memetic SCP-Objects in general. Such actions might compromise your department's usefulness to the Foundation. Regards [COGNITOHAZARD REMOVED] Footnotes 1. The Foundation's worldwide surveillance system. 2. D-Class that developed a memetic resistance due to extended exposure to cognitohazards 3. Measures the probability of how likely the average viewer will associate the specific concept with the photograph 4. Measures how little the Cognitohazard is tainted with other non-relevant concepts. A higher purity will also increase the strength of the cognitohazard's effect. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5187" by Ethagon, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5188 | euclid | Item#: SCP-5188 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents in all major television networks are to monitor for SCP-5188 and prevent any broadcasts before they reach civilian audiences. While the danger to civilians presented by SCP-5188 is negligible, public acknowledgement of its anomalous qualities would lead to a potential Lifted Veil scenario. For research purposes, one television at Site-59 is to receive and record uninhibited broadcasts of SCP-5188. Transcription efforts by research staff are ongoing. SCP-2803-A is not to be made aware of Foundation suppression efforts for SCP-5188 under any circumstances. In addition, SCP-2803-A is to receive a monthly supply of forged fan mail for SCP-5188 and a "royalty payment" consisting two kilograms of a 50/50 blend of sand and pink glitter.1 Description: SCP-5188 is "Fronglyfoot Street", an animated2 situation comedy produced by TotleighSoft corporation. Episodes are 22 minutes long; at time of writing, 108 episodes and nine seasons have been recorded at Site-59. SCP-5188 makes use of TotleighSoft's signature "Snoflak-o-Vizhon", a perception-altering technique that tailors the show's content to match each viewer's personal preferences for entertainment. Despite the claim that "no two [people] will see the [same show]",3 identical transcriptions of SCP-5188 between similarly-minded researchers have been noted. Currently, the highest number of recorded variants to an individual episode (including SCP-5188-Gamma) is 57. The show centers around the Fronglyfoots, a family consisting of the male protagonist, his wife, their precocious two-year-old daughter, and a dog. All other factors (such as the characters' names, occupations, location, financial class, supporting characters, and whether or not the dog is capable of speech) depend on the individual iteration. In addition, viewers who possess a nerve bundle previously identified as a "Rosetta cluster" will be immune to the perception-altering effects; the resulting show will be SCP-5188-Gamma.

SCP-5189 | keter | ITEM #: SCP-5189 OBJECT CLASS: Keter SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: It is currently unknown how much of SCP-5189 is present within the ocean. An offshoot of MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders"), MTF Gamma-6a, is actively searching the ocean for new cases of SCP-5189 to be contained. In most instances, SCP-5189 can be transplanted to the nearest available aquatic facility with only minor casualties. However, in the case of an SCP-5189-1 infestation, the area must be cordoned off at an area of 60 80 meters from the nearest instance of SCP-5189 and elimination procedures are to take place left undisturbed until further notice1. Instances of SCP-5189 forming SCP-5189-1. DESCRIPTION: SCP-5189 is the designation for anomalous variations of organisms of the order Laminariales2. Specimens of SCP-5189 are physically identical to their respective species except for the occurrence of a mouth-like structure at the holdfast3 of each organism. This mouth is made of organic algae matter as well as dentin, formed through an unknown process, to create numerous teeth similar in size and shape to Galeocerdo cuvier, known as the tiger shark. Instances of SCP-5189, at times when humans are within an area of about 80 meters, will whisper words to beckon humans to come near. Specimens of SCP-5189 do not possess vocal cords, but their voices are frequently described as "female," "pleasant," and "alluring." The voice of each instance of SCP-5189 is unique, but always asks for the individual to come nearer. Instances of SCP-5189 do not respond to other individuals, whether human or nearby instance of SCP-5189. Once a human is within range, instances of SCP-5189 will move their thalli and blades in order to grab onto the person. Specimens of SCP-5189 have a remarkable grip, making it unlikely for a human to escape after being grabbed on to. Once attached to a human, instances of SCP-5189 will pull the person towards their mouth and begin the consumption process. Consumption occurs at a slow rate for specimens of SCP-5189, being approximately one bite each half-hour. Because no organs are attached to their mouths, the victim’s flesh and viscera, once chewed, floats out of the mouth and into the surrounding water. This results in a frequent red coloring of the water around instances of SCP-5189. Instances of SCP-5189 will hold their victim until the consumption process is finished, with the process usually taking one or two days for a human to be completely eaten. Living bodies are held above water, while deceased ones are left below. Thus, it is common to see hanging, half-eaten bodies on instances of SCP-5189 at any given time, with a surviving victim held on the surface to bleed out. Specimens of SCP-5189 can and will hold on to multiple people at a time, leaving their bodies floating underwater being held by the thallus. Instances of SCP-5189 show no discernment between bodies when taking bites, leaving the partially-eaten bodies hanging until all are finished. Instances of SCP-5189 will grow together like their anomalous counterparts. Once a group of SCP-5189 has exceeded 50 specimens within 100 meters, it is an instance of SCP-5189-1. Instances of SCP-5189 in SCP-5189-1 will rip apart bodies held by other instances of SCP-5189, usually resulting in the body being split between four to six specimens. Another instance of SCP-5189-1. INCIDENT 5189-1: On 01/15/21, MTF Gamma-6a was dispatched to eliminate the first recorded instance of SCP-5189-1, located off the southern California coast. Utilizing procedures previously used to eliminate smaller gatherings of SCP-5189, MTF Gamma-6a proceeded to reduce the population size. Approximately two hours into the process, MTF Gamma-6a was eliminated by SCP-5189-1. Instances of SCP-5189 appeared to work together in order to subdue and drown the task force, and split the bodies evenly throughout the instance of SCP-5189-1. After two hours, G6a-Cap was promptly disemboweled after the rest of the team could not wrest him free from an SCP-5189 thallus. This resulted in much of the force being close enough for other instances of SCP-5189 to reach them. The rest of the force was eliminated after the range of SCP-5189-1 was proven to be larger than anticipated. The heads of G6a-8, 13, and 31 were all bitten off, the teeth being sharp enough to pierce the skull and lacerate the brain. G6a-3, 14, 18, 24 and 29 all died of blood loss within half an hour of multiple major arteries being torn open. G6a-2, 5, 8, 11, 21 and 22 were torn apart between multiple instances of SCP-5189 and died almost immediately. All other members of MTF Gamma-6a died or are are dying4 much slower due multiple nonfatal wounds. UPDATE: As of 01/23/21, while many body parts have been recovered, there are still numerous bodies hanging from instances of SCP-5189. Footnotes 1.

SCP-5190 | keter | Item #: SCP-5190 Special Containment Procedures: Due to its nature, SCP-5190 is considered self-containing, and thus is not subject to specific procedures. Description: SCP-5190 is the collective designation for an unclear but insignificant percentage of the human population, who are subject to an anomalous phenomenon which influences their effect on the world around them. Instances of SCP-5190 will make little to no significant impact to the world around them throughout their lives — and any societal or environmental change they do manage to bring about will revert shortly after. All SCP-5190 instances are subject to a minor perception filter effect which increases the difficulty of noticing them, the strength of which increases exponentially the more other individuals are nearby. The strength of this filter, however, reduces to almost zero whenever the instance is engaging in acts that would be considered criminal or otherwise socially inappropriate1. Despite what most SCP-5190 instances believe, the majority of their personal relationships reach the level of acquaintance at best — when pressed, most individuals who know SCP-5190 instances have described them as vaguely pleasant but ultimately insubstantial. In 80% of interviews conducted with individuals acquainted with SCP-5190 instances, they have had significant difficulty fully recalling details such as the instance's name and features; in the remaining 20%, they have failed to remember these details altogether. Following death, memories of the SCP-5190 instance will rapidly fade from the minds of all individuals who have encountered them. All observed cases have resulted in a complete loss of memories pertaining to the instance after a period of three days, save for a vague notion that the subject in question has forgotten something of little importance. Addendum 5190-1: Due to lack of Foundation interest, further information on this anomaly is not available. Footnotes 1. Note, however, that the prospect of performing these kinds of actions provokes severe anxiety in most SCP-5190 instances. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5190" by Tanhony, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5191 | neutralized | Item #: SCP-5191 Special Containment Procedures: Agents are to watch the formerly publicly available mailing addresses of SCP-5191 until a period of two years has passed without receiving a letter. If an order is received, agents are to track, interrogate, and amnesticize the source, as well as anyone who may have known of the sender's actions. Description: SCP-5191 was formerly the U.S based organization known as "Your Little Munchkin1" and later "Little Munchkin Inc.2" The purpose of this organization was to provide newborn children to couples and families unable to procreate or adopt. Although the company was considerably well known for decades, the Foundation only became aware of anomalous activity in 2001, when documents were leaked to the public. It was discovered that after 1968 a majority of participants would describe in great detail the child they wanted, referencing the desired appearance, emotional state, and behavior patterns the child would present in the future (see Document-5191 Collection). Comparing the orders to the children produced showed 97.8% 100%3 accuracy to the desired qualities. In response, the Foundation forcibly drew the company to bankruptcy and purchased its assets. SCP-5191's sperm and egg banks showed no signs of genetic abnormalities or engineering. As such, it has been determined that Little Munchkin Inc had discovered an anomalous method for determining the future development of a fetus. It is unknown when the company developed this process, as all records of the procedure have been destroyed in their entirety. Document-5191 Collection: The following are recovered letters received by SCP-5191. Document-5191-1 (sent on April 23, 1953): Dear Mr. Stork4 I am ten years old. I have been an only child my whole life. I have friends at school, but I can never bring them home with me; they always have to go on their bikes back to their own moms and dads. I wish to have a friend that I can spend time with at home. Mom and Dad say they want another child, but don't know if they have the responsibility. But I can be responsible for a new sibling. We already have a cat named Nabby. I take care of him all the time. I'm also an assistant for the teacher at school. I can help my new sibling learn. Please send me a new sibling soon. Gabriel Document-5191-2 (sent on February 5, 1965): Dear Your Little Munchkin, My husband and I would like to make a request. See, we have been looking for not just any child, but a child with beautiful blue eyes. We haven't found any at nearby foster homes, and we can't have a baby with certainty. We hope this isn't too strenuous for you, but we trust that whatever employee reads this letter will be kind enough to take an extra moment and pick the child we're looking for. You understand, right? It feels like striking blue eyes are becoming such a rare quality nowadays. We would be delighted to make a charitable donation to make it worth the trouble. Thank you for reading. Document-5191-3 (sent on June 10, 1968) Dear ████████ ██████5 I wanted to congratulate you on your recent step forward as a fully formed company. What you have established is a business model that is truly eternally stable, something I know for certain others in the business world are jealous of. I would also like to inquire about any open positions you may now have open. Why, I have experience as a full-time investor and a board member of ██████ Inc. With me working under you, you're profits will triple on top of what you will already be pulling in. Thank you for your consideration, █████ █████████ Document-5191-46 (sent on November 19, 1969) Hello, YLM, I've heard about some of your new features from a friend of a friend, and this has finally pushed me to take that step and become a parent! I would like to start with three children. That may sound like a lot, but there's no need to worry about my financial situation. I make more than enough to support them all. The only quality I would like is for my children to not cry. Oh, I won't mind if they get pouty or upset, but please, crying will drive me insane! I don't want to have to spend the entire night calming them down; I at least want to enjoy my programs in peace. Can't wait for my delivery! Thanks so much, make 'em cuties! Document-5191-57 (sent on January 14, 1975): Dear YLM Inc. I would like an infant boy of seven pounds and three ounces. His name will be Adam. He will grow into a tall, slender boy with hair that is easy to brush to the side. He will be able to find answers on his own without having to ask me or his father questions. When we are at parties, he will stand quietly until he is spoken too. When he answers, he will give answers that charm the hosts. He will be willing to try and enjoy any food, and will not complain about wearing any kind of clothes. He will have a pleasant singing voice. He will be capable of passing through the highest of business colleges, then move on to being a solid investor so he can gain financial independence as soon as possible. Thank you for processing this request. Document-5191-6 (sent on December 26, 1998) Dear Customer Experience Representative, I am here to file a complaint. The daughter you sent me has done just the most embarrassing thing. Just yesterday, we were at a neighbor's Christmas party. We were exchanging gifts, and for a few years now my gift to the crowd has been my daughter singing "Silent Night" for everyone. They've always found it acceptable. But last night, when she was in the middle of singing, her eyes started to drift away from the crowd. Her gaze dropped to her feet as she lowered her head. By the time she was finished she was scrambling off to the restroom. And when I followed her, there I found the problem: Her eyes were all watery. She stayed there the rest of the night, while everyone else at the party kept giving me these awful, pitiful looks. She was either sick or emotional. Which, according to your advertising, is impossible. I ordered a healthy, functional child, and she's been so until last night. I've done nothing to damage her. I've provided food, water, and caretakers for her. I've given her an entire house worth of space. I've left her alone. I can prove to you that there was no mistake on my part. I couldn't have done anything to harm her. I would like you to send some people over and return Valery to how she used to be. I'm able to pay any fee you'd like, and possibly a bonus if you get here quickly. I don't want to have to think about this for long. Sincerely, Adam Jacobson Footnotes 1. Formed in 1933. 2.

SCP-5192 | euclid | close Info X Check out more of my articles on my author page! 2/5192 LEVEL 2/5192 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-5192 Euclid Special Containment Procedures: CCTV and Satellite footage is to be monitored in an attempt to detect SCP-5192 instances. If an instance is detected, it is to be disarmed via a weighted mannequin being thrown through the store door. If this does not trigger SCP-5192's activation, a single D-class worker is to be deployed into the instance. Footage from Addendum 001 is currently being cross-referenced against missing persons databases. For confirmed matches, forged corpses and cover stories are to be produced, with the former positioned for discovery by local law enforcement. Description: SCP-5192 is an anomalous phenomenon affecting abandoned commercial stores globally. On occurrence, SCP-5192 will displace the current interior of the store and replace it with an empty interior, with the walls, ceiling, and flooring constructed out of an unidentified metal. The storefront will also be affected. The title of the store will change, or a name placard will appear if not already present, ostensibly offering implausible products and services; examples include "FREE MANSHUN FOR U" and "WE GIV U GOLD 4 3". The title of the store will be written in the local area's predominant language, and frequently includes errors relating to syntax, spelling, and grammar. Upon a person, or group of persons, entering an SCP-5192 instance, the anomaly will activate. A metal shutter will fall over the shop front, and those trapped within will be transported to an extradimensional location (Plane 5192-α). After a short duration of time, ranging between 2 and 8 minutes, the shutter will reopen autonomously, and the store's original interior will have been restored. ADDENDUM 001: INCIDENT LOG + OPEN ADDENDUM 1 + - CLOSE ADDENDUM 1 - Foreword: An instance of SCP-5192 was detected in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. A team was dispatched to investigate, including D-1891. The D-class was equipped with an ocular camera implant, and was instructed to enter the store to investigate. [BEGIN LOG] D-1891 stands before the SCP-5192 instance. The sign outside reads "ERAZ YUR DEBTS". The windows are boarded, but a sign hung on the door reads "OPEN". D-1891: Okay, I'm heading inside now. (D-1891 enters the store. It is abandoned, save for a wooden table at the back of the room, upon which rests a white, organic material.) (The walls, ceiling, and mesh flooring are comprised of what appears to be a rusted metal. D-1891 looks down at the mesh floor they are stood upon. Only darkness can be seen below it. They look back up, and walk to the table. At closer distance, the organic material is identifiable as a mass of salted herring.) D-1891: Err… hello? Is anyone there? (Without warning, a metal shutter slams shut over the storefront, sealing off the door and windows.) D-1891: Oh no. (The entire room suddenly begins to fall downwards at speed. Approximately 5 seconds into this process, water begins to flood into the room through the floor. D-1891 attempts to avoid the liquid by climbing on top of the table. These attempts are soon thwarted, as gravity within the room inverts, sending D-1891, the table, and the water crashing onto the roof-turned-floor. The room is soon completely submerged.) (D-1891 begins to struggle for breath, as the darkness above slowly grows lighter. He gasps for air, and inhales a mouthful of water, clutching at his throat.) (Suddenly, the crate emerges from the water, and the liquid is drained out as it is shaken from side to side. The shadow of a large, unseen entity can be seen through the mesh of the ceiling, holding the crate.) [Unidentified]: Let's see what we got 'ere then… (The ceiling of the crate is revealed to be a lid, which the entity removes, revealing their form. Looming above D-1891 stands a crustacean entity resembling a gigantic Maine lobster1, hereafter designated SCP-5192-1.) SCP-5192-1: Wahey, we've got a live one! (D-1891 begins to scream. A second entity, SCP-5192-2, moves into frame. In the background of the shot, a mast and equipment visible indicate D-1891 is now located on a form of fishing boat - the sound of the ocean tide hitting the boat can be heard. Their implanted geolocator has ceased functioning.) A specimen of Homarus americanus, which SCP-5192-1 and -2 resemble, being prepared for consumption, by staff in the O5 kitchen. SCP-5192-2: Blimey, this one's a talker ain't it? (As D-1891 looks up at the entities, the sky above can be seen. Despite the bright daylight, two fluorescent green moons can be seen, along with as-yet-unidentified star constellations). D-1891: Oh please don't hurt me, I'll do whatever you want, oh Christ, please listen to me, I'll do whatever I promise, just- SCP-5192-1: Ever wonder what they're sayin'? SCP-5192-2: Nope. SCP-5192-1: Ha! Me neither, throw it in the pile. (5192-2 reaches into the metal crate, and picks up D-1891 with its right claw. D-1891 flails in an attempt to break free, striking the entity with its fists and feet.) SCP-5192-2: Oh, we'll be having none of that mister. (SCP-5192-2 expands its left claw, stretching the white rubber band pulled over it. It lowers the band over D-1891's torso, and places it there, locking his arms in place.) SCP-5192-2: Now, off you fuck. (SCP-5192-2 flings D-1891 into a container close to the centre of the boat's deck. He closes his eyes for the duration he is air bound, and lands with a wet thud, ceasing his screams. Upon opening his eyes, D-1891 discovers he is surrounded by the corpses of fourteen adult humans. Their blue faces indicate oxygen deprivation through drowning as the cause of death.) (D-1891 begins to hyperventilate, before pausing as they spot another living human, sans rubber band, across the container from them. Through post-incident analysis, this individual has been identified as Luca Brambilla, from Milan, Italy. A missing persons report for Brambilla was filed the day subsequent to the incident.) (Unable to stand, D-1891 scrambles over to them, pushing themselves along with their feet.) D-1891: Hey, hey you, we've got to get out of here. Do you have any idea where we are? (Brambilla stares at D-1891 with a look of shock on their face, before opening their mouth to speak:) Brambilla: [Unintelligible.] (A series of short, high-pitched whistling noises are vocalised by Brambilla, as they retreat from D-1891.) D-1891: The hell is your problem? Come over here and untie me! (Brambilla keeps their distance from D-1891, then goes down on their knees and begins to pray. As they do, they resume vocalising the whistling noises.) D-1891: You can't understand me either… that's great. Just great. GREAT! (D-1891 begins to thrash, kicking their legs wildly at the container's walls. For 89 minutes, they make no further vocalisations, with the exception of sporadic laughter, and no other noteworthy events occur. The sky above can be seen moving, confirming the boat is in motion.) [LOG REDACTED FOR BREVITY] (The boat comes to rest.) SCP-5192-2: Right, I'll take these up the dock — see you shortly. (SCP-5192-2 approaches the container holding D-1891, Brambilla, and the corpses. It picks it up in its claws, and begins to ambulate across the boat. From D-1891's vantage point, the surroundings are unable to be discerned.) (After 15 minutes, SCP-5192-2 stops, and engages in conversation with another, unseen entity, SCP-5192-3.) SCP-5192-2: Alright Norris, how's it going? SCP-5192-3: Welcome your highness! It's so good to be graced with your company. (Both entities are silent.) SCP-5192-2: Is that a joke? SCP-5192-3: Of course it's a joke! Where the hell have you been? Lunch service started 20 minutes ago! SCP-5192-2: Easy mate, winds were against us today, sea too. Come take a look. (SCP-5192-3 approaches the container held by -2, and looks inside. The entity resembles an Atlantic Rock Crab.2 It makes a noise reminiscent of sighing.) SCP-5192-3: If that's all you got, that's all you got. I'll take the lot. SCP-5192-2: Dead ones too? SCP-5192-3: Aye. Chowder's on the menu today. (SCP-5192-3 takes hold of the container, and carries it inside a nearby building to a room resembling a commercial kitchen.) SCP-5192-3: Ingredients are 'ere! What's the orders? (A fourth entity, SCP-5192-4, comes into view. It is similar to -1 and -2 in appearance.) D-1891: Not like this. SCP-5192-4: One thermidor, one boiled. D-1891: Oh please, not like this. SCP-5192-3: Great, you can handle them both. SCP-5192-4: Err… are you sure, boss? SCP-5192-3: Question me again and you'll get the thick side of m'claw round ya head. Get to it! (SCP-5192-4 approaches the container, and stares at its contents. After a moment, they reach in and pick up Brambilla, before placing him down on the adjacent worktop counter.) D-1891: Please, no. (SCP-5192-4 takes a kitchen knife, handle modified to fit a crustacean claw, and makes an incision on the back of Brambilla's neck. The human emits his loudest vocalisation yet, and begins to spasm.) SCP-5192-3: Christ, you've nicked it! What have I told you before, it needs to be one clean cut. Get out the way…meat'll be all tense now, 'less we're lucky. SCP-5192-4: I asked if you were sure… SCP-5192-3: Quiet! Just take care of the other whilst I sort your mess. D-1891: You bastards watching at the other end, it's your fault. You're the reason it's like this. (SCP-5192-4 returns to the container, and picks up D-1891. He does not struggle. As he is lifted up, a greater section of the establishment is exposed to D-1891's ocular camera.) (SCP-5192-3 can be seen removing Brambilla's spine with its pincers, butterflying the torso, and proceeding to pour a white sauce into the chest cavity. Brambilla's left leg twitches throughout.) (A serving window provides a viewpoint from the kitchen to an adjacent dining room. The area is densely populated with crustacean entities. The majority appear to be eating meals comprised of human components. SCP-5192-4 arrives at a hob, where a pan of boiling water is on the heat.) D-1891: Oh no, no no, please no! No! (With its spare claw, SCP-5192-4 lifts the lid off the pan.) SCP-5192-4: Here we go, little fella. (The entity drops D-1891 into the boiling water. ) [D-1891'S VOCALISATIONS REDACTED] SCP-5192-4: God, I hate it when they scream. SCP-5192-3: Oh, that's not screaming. It's just air escaping from their face holes. [END LOG] Afterword: Feed suspended due to D-1891's ocular camera abruptly cutting out, due to heat and water damage. All further testing is suspended.

SCP-5193 | neutralized | Item #: SCP-5193 Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-5193 has failed to materialize for a period of over one year, it has been declared Neutralized. As a result, no containment procedures are necessary. + Previous Containment Procedures - Close When it is Friday, Foundation agents disguised as tourists are to arrive at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., before SCP-5193 materializes. When SCP-5193 materializes, the agents are to monitor the area for individuals who attempt to make any kind of contact with it until it dematerializes. Such individuals are to be detained and amnesticized, along with any individuals who witness SCP-5193's materialization or dematerialization. Description: SCP-5193 was an anomalous entity that would manifest near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., every Friday at 5:00 p.m. SCP-5193 appeared to be James ██████, an American man who served in the United States Marine Corps from 1964 until his death in 1968. James was 25 years old at the time of his death. Upon manifestation, SCP-5193 would walk along the Memorial Wall for a period of exactly one hour, at which point it would dematerialize. All attempts to make contact with SCP-5193 during this period were unsuccessful, as physical contact could not be made with it and it did not react to any attempts at conversation. Addendum: Incident Report On 26/10/2019, a man arrived at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at 4:57 p.m., and immediately approached SCP-5193 when it manifested. Foundation agents began approaching the man to detain him, but decided to allow him to interact with SCP-5193 after it visibly reacted to his presence. A log of the resulting incident follows. Begin Log The man approaches SCP-5193. SCP-5193 stops walking and turns to face him. Man: Is it really you? SCP-5193 stares at him, but does not respond. Man: I'll take that as a yes. How have you been? SCP-5193 does not react. Man: As you can see, I've grown now. Got a job, started a family, got old. I wish you were there to see it. SCP-5193 lowers its head. The man does not say anything for approximately 30 seconds. Man: You know, I didn't even understand the concept of death when you were killed out there. Momma told me that you were so brave that they just had to keep you after the war. I didn't figure out what actually happened until years later. SCP-5193 does not react. Man: I felt your absence at every stage of my life. High school graduation, getting married, all that. Now that you're here, all of those moments, they don't matter. SCP-5193 looks up and takes a step toward the man. Man: It's funny, I've spent most of my life trying to think of what to say here, but I'm at a loss for words now that I'm actually talking to you. I guess all I really want to say is that I love you, and I wish I could say it more. SCP-5193 smiles. The two hug, and SCP-5193 dematerializes. Foundation agents move in to apprehend the man. <End Log> The man was later identified as Robert ██████, the son of James ██████. When questioned, Robert claimed that he was at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to pay his respects, and had no knowledge of SCP-5193 prior to its manifestation. Robert was unable to explain how he was able to make physical contact with SCP-5193, and failed to provide any other useful information. Since this incident, SCP-5193 has ceased manifestation, and it was declared Neutralized on 26/10/2020. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5193" by A Mountain, from the SCP Wiki.

As of Transmission Deviation-07/09/20201, no attempts to access the interior of SCP-5194 are to be undertaken. Description: SCP-5194 is an autonomous submersible bearing the designation: SCP: WM-C-DS3. While the submersible model is consistent with autonomous vessels in use by the Foundation since 1986, SCP-5194's designation code does not conform to any recorded Foundation vessel. Additionally, SCP-5194 emits a continuous, looping shortwave radio broadcast, consisting of: 15 seconds of audio dots and dashes, which can be decoded utilizing International Morse Code.2 83 seconds of audio dots and dashes, which can be decoded utilizing Foundation Morse Code Cypher-MUN4.3 43 seconds of static. Recovery: SCP-5194's broadcast was detected by Foundation Naval Assets on 04/09/2020. Vessels redirected to identify and contain SCP-5194 were unable to intercept prior to SCP-5194 beaching 200m from Site-184, located on the Eastern Coast of Nova Scotia. Site personnel were then able to recover SCP-5194 with negligible public awareness. Addendum-MC-1: The following transcription is broadcasted by SCP-5194 in International Morse Code: SCP WM C DS3 TRANSMITTING IN THE DARK ENCODED MESSAGE TO FOLLOW Addendum-MC-2: The following transcription is broadcasted by SCP-5194 and decoded using Foundation Morse Code Cypher-MUN4.4 ATTENTION FOUNDATION PERSONNEL: SCP-WM-C-DS3 TRANSMITTING IN THE DARK. LOCAL DATA STORE EXCEEDING MAXIMUM CAPACITY. REQUESTING DATA TRANSFER. AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED. CHALLENGE: THE MOON PULLS THE SEA. RESPONSE: Addendum-TD-07/09/2020: Following containment of SCP-5194, Foundation personnel attempted to gain entrance to the vessel's interior. SCP-5194's access ports appeared to be locked from within, and approval was given to force access into SCP-5194. Upon attempting to cut into SCP-5194's dorsal access port, the regular broadcast ended, and the following message was broadcast in International Morse Code. Following the conclusion of this transmission deviation, and the cessation of entry attempts, SCP-5194 resumed its typical broadcasting. FAILURE TO CEASE UNATHORIZED BREACH ATTEMPT WILL RESULT IN ERASURE OF LOCAL DATA STORAGE Due to the potential importance of data stored upon SCP-5194, the attempt to access the vessel's interior was halted, and no further attempts are to be made. + RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 4 PERSONNEL ONLY. PLEASE INPUT LEVEL 4 CREDENTIALS TO CONTINUE. - LEVEL 4 CREDENTIALS ACCEPTED Good evening, Director Barrett. Loading File: SCP-5194-CL4…. Item#: 5194 Level4 Containment Class: esoteric Secondary Class: thaumiel Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: danger link to memo SCP-5194 Upon Recovery. Description - Level 4 Clearance: SCP-5194-A is an autonomous, submersible, mobile data-storage and relay vessel utilized by the Foundation during R&D Initiative Waning Moon - Ceta. SCP-5194 was launched by the Foundation on 03/11/1994 for the purpose of remote storage of memortic data,5 transmitted from SCP-5194-B. On 21/04/1997, following the suspension of all projects conducted under Initiative Waning Moon - Ceta, SCP-5194-A was given orders to self-terminate; SCP-5194 transmitted confirmation that local data stores had been cleared and that it would undertake immediate self-scuttling actions. No further transmissions from SCP-5194 were detected, until its appearance near Site-184 on 04/09/2020. SCP-5194-B is an autonomous, memortic sink capable of interpreting, translating, and transmitting memortic data into binary code. SCP-5194-B is currently located on the Earth's Moon at selenographic coordinates: 25.2103oN, 39.0126oW. SCP-5194-B was installed by the Foundation at its current location on 17/10/1997 and designed to operate indefinitely. Although deactivated during the suspension of Initiative Waning Moon - Ceta, the physical disassembly of SCP-5194-B was deemed unnecessary and a misallocation of Foundation resources. Foundation Response to the Appearance of SCP-5194-A: Following the appearance of SCP-5194-A, an inquiry into Initiative Waning Moon - Ceta was opened. Foundation records have identified the following personnel as directly involved with the creation and operation of SCP-5194-A and SCP-5194-B. Efforts to locate Dr. Yost Minen for questioning are underway. Foundation Personnel: Role in Initiative Waning Moon - Ceta: Current Status: Dr. Gregory Werner. Research Lead: biological effects of Oros-Class Amnestic. Under house arrest. Dr. Sylvia Morrison. Research Lead: applied memortics. Deceased - 18/08/2009. Dr. Oswald Grisdal. Junior Analyst: memortic data conversion and transmission. Under house arrest. Dr. Yost Minen. Research Head: Initiative Waning Moon - Ceta. Location unknown, last seen 10/03/2015. Addendum I-01: The following interview was conducted after the discovery and containment of SCP-5194-A. AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION DATE: 11/09/2020. NOTE: Dr. Gregory Werner had been placed on house arrest following the opening of Ethics Committee Investigation - Case Number: 11A82N. Agent Murphy had been assigned with interviewing Dr. Werner on his affiliation with SCP-5194-A and SCP-5194-B. [AUDIO BEGINS] Agent Murphy: Dr. Werner, my name is Agent Murphy. Director Barrett has requested I interview you regarding your involvement in Foundation Research and Development Initiative Waning Moon - Ceta. Dr. Werner: Director Barrett? What, are they not giving Rogers access to the Ethics Committee interviews? At the moment, I'm not too inclined to repeat myself to save Barrett some paperwork. Agent Murphy: I appreciate your candor, Dr. Werner. Unfortunately, recent events have necessitated me being here. Am I correct in assuming this is familiar to you? Agent Murphy offers Dr. Werner an envelope containing SCP-5194-CL-4's file. Dr. Werner proceeds to read through the file before responding. Dr. Werner remains silent for a period of time after placing the documents on the desk. Dr. Werner: I, well… This doesn't make sense; DS3 - SCP-5194-A now, I suppose - shouldn't be operational. But even if it were, there's no reason why its data storage would be full - Agent Murphy: I'm glad to see that you are taking this seriously, Dr. Werner. Perhaps we can start at the beginning. What were, in your understanding, the goals of Waning Moon - Ceta? Dr. Werner: It was to be an answer to a problem. The amnestics we've been using for decades - they're all dependent upon a subject's biological response. Waning Moon was an attempt to surpass this limitation utilizing memortic theory. Agent Murphy: You hadn't mentioned memortic theory in your previous interviews, Dr. Werner. I find that slightly alarming - could you elaborate on this concept and its relation to SCP-5194? Dr. Werner: It was hardly relevant to the questions I was asked previously. Dr. Morrison was the expert on applied memortics, and as she explained it, an individual’s memories are not solely biological; they exist on a different conceptual level. Memortic-layer was the term she used. Agent Murphy begins to write in a small notebook, Dr. Werner leans backwards in the chair and watches him, smiling for a moment before resuming a neutral expression. Agent Murphy: You can continue, Dr. Werner. Dr. Werner: Well, she suggested that sentient individuals exhibit a force of attraction on this memortic-layer, with the strongest bonds existing between them and memories essential to their self-identity. Sure, we had the tools to affect a person's ability to remember certain events, but conventional amnestics leave memories conceptually present and tethered to the subject, causing the problems we see with their long-term effectiveness. Agent Murphy: Returning to my initial question, Dr. Werner. What does this have to do with SCP-5194-A and -B? Dr. Werner: Everything. Dr. Morrison theorized that objects with sufficient gravitational pull warp the memortic layer in a way analogous to their influence on space-time. She suggested that, a black hole for example, wouldn't just pull physical matter and light into it, but upon a certain threshold, an individual’s memories and self-identity would be consumed and lost. It was Yost Minen's project, Waning Moon - Ceta, that fully saw the possibilities this theory offered - he thought all they needed was to get that thing onto the moon. Agent Murphy: You're referring to SCP-5194-B? Foundation records state it was deactivated- Dr. Werner: But it's still there, isn't it? What you're calling SCP-5194-B was an attempt to amplify the natural force exerted by the moon on the memortic layer toward certain, targeted memories. Oros-Class Amnestic was the signal: a way to identify such memories. Agent Murphy: My understanding is that Oros-Class Amnestic was never widely utilized. Why was that? Dr. Werner: The whole thing didn't work. There was a break-down in the chain of connections. We went through our funding - then the additional funding - then command shut us down. Agent Murphy: Thank you for your time, Dr. Werner. If you recall anything further, please do be in touch. [END LOG] NOTE: I am suspicious of Dr. Werner's explanation surrounding the suspension of Waning Moon - Ceta. Pending Director Barrett's approval, I am requesting access to restricted archives which may be relevant to my Investigation. [APPROVED]. Addendum I-02: The following document has been attached to SCP-5194-CL4's file by Agent Murphy. INTERNAL MEMO: SCP WM-C Memortic Sink tests (04/12/1997). FROM: Dr. Sylvia Morrison TO: Dr. Yost Minen. DATE: 04/12/1997. Dr. Minen, I am excited to report that operational tests of WM-C MS1 are proceeding as scheduled and thus far appear promising. We have established a definite memortic-binary link, and WM-C MS1 and WM-C DS3 are showing green across the board. I have Oswald running checks on the data flow to ensure nothing is lost there, and he's told me its all looking stable - for now at least. Our only hiccup came during testing: our Leporidae subject, 0004, appeared to enter a catatonic state following the administration of Oros Class Amnestic. Dr. Werner is reviewing the chemical compounds to determine the cause. Despite this, all indications suggest that the trial was a success - data from 0004's memortic sphere seems to have been successfully extracted; we should be able to access it via WM-C DS3's transfer shortly. We're going to be able to see its memories. — Dr. Sylvia Morrison Addendum I-03: The following interviews were arranged by Agent Murphy's request to further question Dr. Werner. AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION DATE: 13/09/2020. NOTE: Following my investigation into the suspension of Waning Moon - Ceta, I have reason to question the account given by Dr. Werner. My intention is to address his role in the creation of Oros-Class Amnestic. [AUDIO BEGINS] Agent Murphy: Dr. Werner, when last we talked you had claimed the suspension of Waning Moon - Ceta involved the failure of SCP-5194-A and -B to operate properly; I believe that you intentionally misled me with that assertion. Dr. Werner: Agent Murphy, I'm unclear on what grounds you have for these accusations. Agent Murphy shows Dr. Werner the memo attached as Addendum I-02. Agent Murphy: I've also had a closer look at your history at the Foundation, Dr. Werner. You've been working here for nearly 60 years, and in those decades, you haven't made many friends - tend to keep to yourself, avoiding social gatherings and non-work-related functions- Dr. Werner: I hardly see how my personal preferences are relevant. Agent Murphy: Yes, I was getting to that. Although you've stayed distant from your colleagues, you've displayed a surprising attachment to your current position: you've turned down three on-site promotions and four transfer opportunities to other, larger Foundation sites. Some of these potential projects were directly tied to your personal work. We've already established you aren't staying here because of the people here. Dr. Werner: As I said before, I fail to understand how my personal, life decisions are relevant to your inquiry. Agent Murphy: Well then there's the matter of your research assistants; it appears that in your role as Head Researcher of Site-184 Aquatic Animal Wing, you've put in an unusual number of transfer and dismissal requests. The most recent of which has led the past to catch up to you. Dr. Werner, it is abundantly clear that you've been hiding something these past years - but why are you still bothering? You know as well as I do that you're likely to be dismissed from your position, and if I can be blunt, it won't be long until you take this secret to your grave. You have an opportunity here, Dr. Werner, to set the truth straight. I assure you things will come to light in time, wouldn't you rather it be done in your own words? Dr. Werner is silent for nearly a minute before speaking. Dr. Werner: It was my fault. I couldn't refine Oros-Class Amnestic to only target specific memories, as we intended; I couldn't figure out the biological-memortic transition. And because of that, SCP-5194-B would rip everything from an individual: all their memories, lived experiences, everything that could constitute a self-identity - gone, pulled hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. The subject wouldn't die; their bodily functions still worked fine, but they weren’t people anymore - they were husks. We were shut down because we weren't amnestizing people, we were annihilating them. Agent Murphy: Thank you, Dr. Werner. That will be all for today. [END LOG] AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION DATE: 14/09/2020. NOTE: Following the previous interview, Agent Murphy asked to speak with Dr. Werner again to address a concern noted in the first interview. [AUDIO BEGINS] Agent Murphy: Dr. Werner, thank you for agreeing to speak to me again. I was reviewing our first conversation, and something you said caught my attention. You mentioned that SCP-5194-A was a data store for Waning Moon - Ceta. Can we revisit that? Dr. Werner: I suppose so, Agent Murphy. Agent Murphy: You expressed surprise regarding SCP-5194-A's recent transmissions, regarding the local storage exceeding its capacity. Why is that? Dr. Werner: Murphy, the existence of SCP-5194-A is a surprise to me. By all accounts, that vessel should be a derelict wreck on the ocean floor. But even if we had left it operational, it wouldn't explain SCP-5194-A reaching its memory capacity. Agent Murphy: Why is that? Dr. Werner: SCP-5194-A was built to store hundreds of thousands of hours of memortic data transferred from SCP-5194-B. By the time Waning Moon - Ceta was scrapped, we hadn't utilized over 99.9% of the local storage: storage that should only be filled when it receives a transfer from SCP-5194-B, which should only happen when SCP-5194-B extracts memories from individuals, which should only happen when Oros-Class Amnestic is administered, which - to my knowledge - hasn't happened since 1996. Agent Murphy: So that would mean - Dr. Werner: That SCP-5194-A is full of hundreds of thousands of hours of memories, and we have no idea where they came from. [END LOG] Following this interview, SCP-5194's Disruption Class was elevated to Ekhi and its Risk Class elevated to Warning. Dr. Gregory Werner has claimed no knowledge of the Response to SCP-5194-A's Challenge, arguing that this was only known to Dr. Yost Minen. Efforts to locate Dr. Minen are ongoing. Footnotes 1.

Item #: SCP-5195 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5195 is secured in a lead-lined deep-storage chamber at Site-95's underground facility. It is isolated from all contact and radiometrically monitored for deviations from expected norms. Description: SCP-5195 is an early 17th century baroque globe produced in Vienna by an unknown craftsman. When acted upon with sufficient force or energy, this force (scaled up) occurs in a region of earth corresponding to the same point on the globe. This effect extends an undetermined distance out from the globe's surface. SCP-5195 was purchased in 2008 by Joshua Zayne, an American tech-investor. In 2010 — after losing his fortune in online trading — Mr. Zayne extorted several competitors by jamming satellites with directed radio signals aimed at SCP-5195. He used a similar technique to broadcast anonymous demands across these satellites. On March 11, 2011, a Foundation agent contacted Mr. Zayne (at the time known only by his moniker, 'MysterDeez') via an anonymous chatroom: CHAT LOG XIAOSHAN: MysterDeez? MYSTERDEEZ: Yo. XIAOSHAN: I am contacting you on behalf of my organization to ask that you cease all action pertaining to the disruption of communication satellites immediately. XIAOSHAN: You have not only damaged commercial interests, but the interests of numerous global agencies. Agencies that rely on these satellites to save lives. XIAOSHAN: Turn yourself in, and I promise you clemency for all illegal activities you have committed up to this point. XIAOSHAN: We know what you're doing, and we know how you're doing it. This is your one and only opportunity to walk away. MYSTERDEEZ: lol. MYSTERDEEZ: Y'know, I was initially a little worried someone would be smart enough to figure this out. Thanks for confirming that I've got nothing to worry about, shit-for-brains. MYSTERDEEZ: You wouldn't be contacting me like this if you had even the SLIGHTEST clue of who or where I am. MYSTERDEEZ: And no, you've got no idea what I'm doing or how I'm doing it. I've got the whole world in the palm of my hand. Literally. MYSTERDEEZ: Here. Lemme show you what I can do with just my pinkie. Following this exchange, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake offshore of the Tōhoku-Oki region in Japan occurred. The ensuing tsunami claimed the lives of nearly 20,000 people. In 2012, Mr. Zayne demanded a ransom of several million dollars in the form of bitcoins. In exchange, he would refrain from "turning Taiwan into a finger-shaped smudge". The following exchange occurred on February 2nd, 2012: CHAT LOG MYSTERDEEZ: You got my money, shit-for-brains? XIAOSHAN: You're right. We don't know who or where you are. XIAOSHAN: As for how you're doing this… well, some of our labcoats have a hunch. But that's all we've got: A hunch. MYSTERDEEZ: This going somewhere? You got my money, or should I show you what I can do with my thumb? XIAOSHAN: A hunch, some fancy math — and the resources to measure the angle of contact from the world's biggest underwater fingerprint. MYSTERDEEZ: lol. Wut? XIAOSHAN: Well, that, and the world's biggest directed energy cannon, pointed at the world's biggest orbital reflector dish, aimed at one precise spot far out in deep space. MYSTERDEEZ: wtf??/// MYSTERDEEZ: ///;nisehro;hnvo;zgrj MYSTERDEEZ: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' MYSTERDEEZ: ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' MYSTERDEEZ: ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' MYSTERDEEZ: ''''''''''''' MYSTERDEEZ: ' XIAOSHAN: 360 noscope, shithead. Shortly after this exchange, Foundation satellites detected an extremely small beam of gamma radiation emitted just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Agents tracked the trajectory of this narrow beam to its source: SCP-5195, located in Mr. Zayne's home. Mr. Zayne (killed via a brain aneurysm triggered by the beam) was found nearby. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-5195" by The Great Hippo, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-5196 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5196 Special Containment Procedures: Provisional Site-62 has been established in the area where SCP-5196 was discovered. A minimum of two armed guards are to be stationed outside Provisional Site-62 at all times to detain and amnesticize civilians who attempt to enter. SCP-5196 is to be kept in a rectangular containment chamber with fortified walls. Access to SCP-5196's containment chamber is forbidden except for maintenance purposes and the removal of excess bottles following anomalous events. Description: SCP-5196 is a red fourth-generation Toyota Supra1. Despite presumably being abandoned for a significant period of time, SCP-5196 does not display any signs of structural damage or rust. Approximately every hour, a non-anomalous empty unlabeled glass bottle containing trace amounts of alcohol will spontaneously manifest in the air within a one meter radius of SCP-5196, an unidentified white male who appears to be in his twenties (henceforth SCP-5196-A) will manifest in the driver's seat, and SCP-5196 will start on its own. As SCP-5196 is starting, several more identical glass bottles will manifest around it. Upon starting, SCP-5196 will immediately begin accelerating with no input from SCP-5196-A, continuing until it collides with a hard surface. Upon coming to a complete stop following a collision with a surface, SCP-5196 will be spontaneously restored to its original state, and SCP-5196-A will demanifest. It is unclear if SCP-5196-A is conscious or aware of what is occurring during these events. Addendum: Discovery SCP-5196 was discovered following reports of a car repeatedly colliding with trees in a forest near the city of █████████, Ohio. Foundation personnel secured the location, Provisional Site-62 was established, and civilians who witnessed SCP-5196 were amnesticized. A journal containing only one legible entry was also found near SCP-5196. The author of this entry is unknown, but it is believed to contain a list of materials for a thaumaturgical ritual related to SCP-5196. A transcript of the entry follows. materials needed for ritual to get old days back: -car (have) -booze (have, do i need specific kind?) -diploma (couldn't find, will have to make due without) if this works, find them again. A photo album containing five photos was recovered alongside the journal, and the photos are described below: Photo 1: Five unidentified men standing next to each other in front of a library in █████████. All five are smiling at the camera. Photo 2: Four of the men standing in front of a local diner. The men appear noticeably older. Photo 3: Three of the men sitting on the hood of a car that appears similar to SCP-5196 in the forest where SCP-5196 was discovered. Photo 4: Two of the men sitting on a couch in an unknown location. Empty bottles and assorted bags of food surround the couch. The men again appear noticeably older. One of the men resembles SCP-5196-A. Photo 5: A blue car in a small garage. The car appears new.

SCP-5197 | keter | Item #: SCP-5197 Level 4/5197 Classified A single SCP-5197-2 instance located at [DATA EXPUNGED] Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents are to monitor reports of toxic gas spills in rural communities on expected manifestation dates. Foundation task forces investigating SCP-5197 manifestations are required to wear fully-encapsulated protective gear with a self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent phosgene exposure. Upon arrival, task forces are to isolate the area and evacuate any civilians. Personnel are not to enter the area of manifestation if an explosion has been reported until spacetime stability can be confirmed. Otherwise, Foundation agents should make immediate efforts to recover all SCP-5197-1 and -2 instances. SCP-5197-1 instances must be stored in a dedicated Type-M hazardous object repository located at least 50 km from any human settlements or Foundation facilities. SCP-5197-1 may not be removed from this facility upon arrival; all experimentation must take place on-site. Area-███ is the current designated SCP-5197-1 repository. Description: SCP-5197 are large oblate spheroid objects possessing a dark metallic appearance. A single SCP-5197 instance periodically manifests every 271 days, usually during nighttime. However, the exact location of manifestation has proven difficult to predict. Direct analysis of SCP-5197 is also challenging, as its material reacts with the earth's atmosphere to produce large amounts of phosgene gas1; one SCP-5197 instance can produce up to 2.4 km3 of phosgene before dissolution (usually within 4 hours of manifestation). Analysis of surrounding debris and photographic evidence indicates that each SCP-5197 has a diameter of 33.7 m and a height of roughly 8 meters. A unique series of ornate symbols are inscribed onto the side of each instance; however, these dissolve soon after manifestation, and photographic analysis has failed to give any insight into their meaning or purpose. Each SCP-5197 contains exactly 5 SCP-5197-1 instances and 8 SCP-5197-2 instances. SCP-5197-1 instances are cylindrical objects composed of a material chemically and structurally similar to bone. X-ray scans and other analysis techniques suggest these objects are hollow; however, SCP-5197-1 explode when ruptured, causing local spacetime to destabilize upon detonation. This creates a Gamma-class anomalous zone2 within a radius of 0.6 to 1.3 km. To date, 7% of SCP-5197 manifestations have resulted in an SCP-5197-1 detonation. SCP-5197-2 instances are large quadrupedal entities averaging 5.3 m in height and 6.1 m in length. Up to 42 muscular hydrostats protrude from the dorsal region; the function of these is unknown, though the number of appendages directly correlates to the entity's size. Three orifices can be found on the head; the largest of these produces vocalizations resembling the screams of a human female. The two smaller orifices located on the right and left side structurally resemble infrared-sensing organs found in some reptiles. SCP-5197 behavior has been highly erratic in encounters with Foundation task forces. Instances move quickly and react violently to fast or sudden movements. No SCP-5197-2 instance has survived more than 12 hours after manifestation due to the effects of phosgene exposure. Addendum: On 2020/6/30 at 23:34, an SCP-5197 instance manifested in Ombre Rouge, Louisiana. In deviation from previous incidents, all SCP-5197-1 instances detonated during manifestation, instantly destroying most of the town. Notably, the incident also produced 130% more phosgene than previous manifestations. Ombre Rouge has been erased from all public records to cover up the incident. At 3:10 the following morning, O5-1 received the following transmission via [DATA EXPUNGED] from an unknown party. [BEGIN TRANSMISSION] O5-1: O5-1 speaking. Please state your identificatio- Unknown: Pleasant greetings, do I speak to Mr. Ofiv-Un? <There is a long pause> O5-1: Who the hell is this. Unknown: I am Ubthao-Ykovi, I am represention for Department of Frontier Development. O5-1: How did you get in here? This is a secure channel. Unknown: I contact you regarding incident with most recent supply shipment. Engine failure caused transport vessel to make emergency landing. Unfortunate, ship and all cargo were destroyed. O5-1: I haven't heard of any … wait. <muffled> Get me Dr. ███████. Unknown: We send replacement supplies as per terms of agreement. Expect shipment to arrive within next Nl'toth period. O5-1: Agreement? What agreement? Unknown: Our records indicate either yourself or predecessor applied for bicyclical shipments of fuel capsules and livestock under Section 12 of Nk'kaddi Resolution Akh-7639 on eighth of Mkanon, cycle 27824. You remain eligible as long as your world is Class 3 or lower. O5-1: Do you understand just how much damage these … "shipments" have been causing? Unknown: I do not understand you, sir. O5-1: Those bombs have annihilated entire towns. And that's not to mention the phosgene. Do you have any idea the kind of ecological damage releasing that much phosgene into the atmosphere could cause? We are becoming very concerned that this could destabilize our ecosystem. Unknown: Still I do not understand. Do you say you wish to withdraw from program? O5-1: Whatever it is you're sending here, stop. Unknown: Very well then. Simply submit completed Cth-43 and Ur-89 forms to local department office, then your planet will be withdrawn from program. Also you have not submitted a Nk-33 this cycle, you need to do that. O5-1: What are yo- Unknown: If you have more questions, contact local office. Fare well, Mr. Ofiv-Un! O5-1: No, wait, do not- [END TRANSMISSION] All attempts to re-establish contact with the entity have failed. Footnotes 1. Organic compound with the formula COCl2.

SCP-5198 | euclid | The cover of SCP-5198-A Item #: SCP-5198 Special Containment Procedures: The last remaining copy of SCP-5198-A is kept in a long-term containment locker at Site-59; all others have been destroyed. Investigation of SCP-5198-A's content to pinpoint the causal agent of its anomalous effect is ongoing; requests to research may be forwarded to Site Director Naismith. Applicants must have a 90th-percentile score on the CHEESE1. All seven contained instances of SCP-5198-B remain in a drug-induced coma at Site-59. To negate the possibility of anomalous nightmares, they have been supplied with a daily intravenous drip of 10% diluted bakuserum. Safe excision and isolation of their respective SCP-5198-C is not feasible at this time, pending further research. Description: SCP-5198-A is a hardcover self-help book titled "Get Out of Your Damn Shell!". There is no author or publisher credited, and the content appears to be 502 pages of "Lorem Ipsum" placeholder text. When a human subject with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other similar mental illnesses attempts to read SCP-5198-A, they become an instance of SCP-5198-B. Affected subjects lose the ability to control their written text (whether handwritten or typed). In addition, SCP-5198-B have reported hearing voices, vivid nightmares, migraines, and panic attacks. (Subjects who already had these symptoms have reported an increase in severity after exposure to SCP-5198-A.) SCP-5198-C is a black mark on the right hand of each instance of SCP-5198-B. It resembles a silhouette of a turtle, similar to the one on the cover of SCP-5198-A. The marking has been deduced to be the source of the effects of SCP-5198-A exposure. Attempts to remove SCP-5198-C through surgery or otherwise result in the host SCP-5198-B going through excruciating, traumatic headaches. If the subject is under anesthesia during the removal process, they will awaken. The only successful removal thus far of SCP-5198-C was carried out with the former SCP-5198-B-8, who had volunteered to be restrained and withstand any side effects. Following removal, SCP-5198-B-8 died from internal cerebral hemorrhaging. Addendum: The following documents were discovered on the laptop computer of SCP-5198-B-2 (known pre-containment as James Sutherland of Kenosha, WI). 1.docx 2.docx 3.docx 4.docx 5.docx 6.docx 7.docx Jimmy! Good to meetcha. I'd introduce myself, but I don't have a name. I'm not even real. That's because we're here to focus on you. As you might have noticed, I've put your fingers on autopilot for a while. There's no cause for alarm! You're not going crazy! In fact, in just a few weeks, you're gonna go the opposite of crazy. Now that we've got introductions out of the way, let's go over the basics. Name: James Nathan Sutherland Age: 29 Sex: Male Weight: Haha. Hahaha. …oh, boy. Mental baggage: d e p r e s s i o n (womp womp) Relationship Status: Single, and… a virgin, apparently? Uh, okay. Highest Level of Education: High School?! Employment: "Self-employed." Is that what you call it when you jerk off? Neat. Relationship with Parents: Hopefully pretty good, considering… you live with them. Are you sure you're 29? Oh, come on, don't get all mad just because I'm telling it like it is. You're at the bottom of the barrel, but that doesn't mean you can't start making positive changes. And you already have! You picked up my book at the library. You opened up a new Word document as soon as I told you to. Like it or not, you're on the right track to become something a-fucking-mazing. So, here's your homework. By tomorrow at 9 PM, you will have done the following: - 20 jumping jacks - Gone outside for 1 hour - Sent out two job applications (don't worry, I'll let you type those on your own), and - Listened to half an hour of positive music. Remember: I'm here to help you help yourself. Only you can make the decision to be happy. Got it? Good. Now get off the damn computer and get started. …you're still typing. Go. GO! GET OFF THE FU Okay, I'll admit, I might have laid it on too thick with our first talk together. That's on me. It's still no excuse for binge-watching anime when you should have been sending out your job applications. Jimmy, you can't make these positive steps without motivation. You need to want to change. And if you don't want to change, you need to change your mind immediately. Come on, I wouldn't stick my non-existent neck out for you like this if I thought you weren't salvageable. I've got free reign of the place inside you, and — that novel idea you were working on? Frickin' gold. Storytelling magic, right there — and I'm an author myself. And once you've earned it with more positive steps, I'll even let you work on it a little. Five job apps. Tomorrow. Try the gas station. Bring a resume there on foot. It still works. First off: whenever a gas station says "we're not hiring," that's business lingo for "we are hiring, but you didn't make a good first impression." Learn from it, and move on. But that's not why I wanted to talk today. See, you tried to tell your parents about me. This is a private doctor-patient affair. But what's worse: the more people you tell about the weird typing ghost thing that yells at you (Boo. Fucking. Hoo.) the more likely they are to fucking lock you up in an institution for life. Have you heard me scream? I think you have. It's more of a feeling than a sound. It feels like… That. Get your shit together. Jimmy, I get it. You've been feeling terrible. It's understandable. You keep waking up terrified in the middle of the night for reasons you can't explain (heyooo!). Your life's gone to hell, and the only guy in your life that hasn't given up on you is getting meaner by the day. It sucks. But it could be a lot worse. Those nightmares you've been having aren't a coincidence. I've got a whole fucking Warner-Bros-level movie studio in here. The one I've lined up for tonight is a doozy. Remember Clockwork Orange? Jog five miles by noon tomorrow, or Alex in the theater is going to be you in your bed for the rest of your life. Happiness is a choice. I have no fucking idea why you've been avoiding that choice, but it's pissing me off more and more by the minute. I love you, James. I adore you. I have seen the beauty in your mind, and I refuse to let you ruin it. There are ideas in here that could rattle the goddamn stars. That's why I'm never giving up on you. Not until you don't need me anymore. And yet, despite everything I've done for you, you've given up on me. How long has it been since you touched a keyboard? Two months? Are you that mad about the dreams? You knew what you were getting into when you opened my book. Says it right on the cover: "no-holds-barred." Don't get me wrong, getting you off the computer has done some good. You've lost a lot of weight. You've been exercising to release the tension. But I gave you that tension. And you're not giving me anything back. Is that fair? Sound fair to you? WE NEED THIS TIME TO COMMUNICATE, JIMMY. YOU. NEED. TO. COMMUNICATE. WITH. ME. Text your mother. You need an excuse to stay right here for a while, and I've got just the thing. You're still on the computer. Text mom. TEXT. MOM. DO YOU WANT ME TO SCREAM AGAIN? Thank you. As of right now, you are not leaving this room until you're happy and successful. Shit in the corner if you have to. Turn off the computer.

SCP-5199 | euclid | Item #: SCP-5199 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5199-A is designated as a perpetual patient in the neonatal care unit at Site 06-3 and undergoes all appropriate procedures. SCP-5199-B is held in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site 06-3. The entity is required to attend therapy twice weekly alongside monthly psychiatric evaluations. SCP-5199-B is allowed to be in contact with SCP-5199-A for a maximum of six hours per day, though this limit may be moved at the discretion of the entity’s psychological staff. Description: SCP-5199 is the designation of two connected anomalous entities referred to as SCP-5199-A and SCP-5199-B. SCP-5199-A is the designation of an animate statue composed of calcified tissue that resembles a human infant. This tissue is pliant enough to allow a full range of motion but displays no other anomalous properties. Beyond its material makeup, SCP-5199-A’s behavior, needs, and medical vitals are consistent with that of a non-anomalous child, though it shows no signs of growth nor standard development milestones. SCP-5199-B is a 27-year-old British woman by the name of Leida Kuusik who is responsible for SCP-5199-A's creation. Though SCP-5199-B was formerly capable of local reality manipulation, this property has so far proven to have been transient, and the entity no longer shows independent anomalous capabilities. Both components of SCP-5199 were brought into containment on May 5th, 2019, shortly after the surgical removal of SCP-5199-A. Medical records of the birth and interviews with SCP-5199-B indicate that the fetus had been deemed a miscarriage via abdominal pregnancy following rupture of the uterine wall, a condition that SCP-5199-B was predisposed to due to its Nälkän1 ethnicity. It is hypothesized that the biological manipulation practiced by the group is responsible for the deleterious germ-line mutations affecting SCP-5199-B as opposed to de novo mutations in the individual herself. An MRI performed on April 29th revealed that the unborn fetus had developed into a lithopedion.2 Sometime in the following week, SCP-5199-B underwent an involuntary stress-born Hume fluctuation, the result of which was the animation of SCP-5199-A. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/1 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 11 May 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Exploratory MRI of SCP-5199-A Result: SCP-5199-A is structurally uniform, though there are numerous sections of higher density in the head and upper torso. No internal organ structures are present. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/2 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 24 May 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Full genome mapping of SCP-5199-A Result: Standard sample could not be taken due to subject's physical makeup. Trace DNA from subject returned mother's genome instead. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/3 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 17 June 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Excise material from SCP-5199-A for chemical analysis. Total sample mass should not exceed 1g. Result: Though attempts at sedation failed, a sample was successfully acquired. Mass spectrometry indicates that SCP-5199-A is chemically consistent with non-anomalous lithopedia. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/4 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 17 June 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Oral administration of ibuprofen (50mg chewable tablet) for pain relief following biopsy. Result: Mild analgesic effect, though significantly less than anticipated for age and dosage. Recommend increasing dosage for further use. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/5 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 18 June 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Oral administration of ibuprofen (100mg chewable tablet) for pain relief. Result: Mild analgesic effect, not significantly greater than that in the previous administration. Subject successfully fell asleep, though sleep quality was poor. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/6 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 2 July 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Replace sample material taken in SCP-5199-A/3 back in its original position in vivo. The material will be kept in place using surgical glue and covered in an adhesive bandage for protection. Result: As only 0.35g of material were recoverable post-analysis, a mixture of calcium, phosphate, iron, and zinc powder in a ratio identical to the sample's composition was used as filler. The replaced sample has stayed intact, though no sign of reintegration with SCP-5199-A has been observed. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/7 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 5 July 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Oral administration of morphine (0.5mg chewable tablet) for pain relief. Result: No significant effect. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/8 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 12 July 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Increase learning and development lesson time. Focus should be on improving subject's physical dexterity and reducing recent lethargy. Result: No significant effect. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/9 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 18 July 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Oral administration of ibuprofen (100mg chewable tablet) for pain relief. Result: No significant effect. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/10 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 6 August 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Move weekly physicals to daily. Result: Date Mass (kg) 7/8/19 4.901 8/8/19 4.903 9/8/19 4.900 10/8/19 4.894 11/8/19 4.895 12/8/19 4.891 13/8/19 4.886 14/8/19 4.885 15/8/19 4.882 Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/11 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 13 August 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Increase contact time from 6 hours to 8. Encourage SCP-5199-B to engage in development activities alongside NCU staff. Result: Ms. Kuusik's mood has improved, though SCP-5199-A shows no sign of improved cognitive or physical development. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/12 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 21 August 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Hold SCP-5199-A in a sterile room for a day. All visitors and staff will wear hermetic protection while in the chamber, and all suits should be cleaned by pressurized air. All debris from the suits and room will be collected at the end of the isolation period. Result: 4.21g of material matching the subject's composition was collected in total. CONTAINMENT PROCEDURE REVISION 18 SEP 2019 SCP-5199-A is designated as a perpetual patient in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Site 06-3. The entity is to wear a cushioned, full-body suit at all possible times to reduce further disintegration. All hard surfaces in areas accessible by SCP-5199-A are to be covered in cushioning foam to provide extra padding. SCP-5199-B is held in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site 06-3. The entity is required to attend therapy twice weekly alongside monthly psychiatric evaluations. SCP-5199-B is allowed to be in contact with SCP-5199-A for a maximum of two hours per day, though this limit may be moved at the discretion of the entity’s psychological staff. Direct contact with SCP-5199-A may not be made without Level-3 confirmation and observation so as to prevent further damage. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/14 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 22 September 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Using a mixture of debris collected from SCP-5199-A, a synthetic mixture corresponding to the chemical analysis from SCP-5199-A/3, and epoxy resin, attempt to reconstruct damaged portions of SCP-5199-A. Result: Mixture was applied successfully. However, nearly all patches were undone unconsciously due to SCP-5199-A's movements. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/15 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 24 September 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Oral administration of morphine (1mg chewable tablet) for pain relief. Result: No significant effect. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/16 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 12 October 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Excise material from the upper arm and replace with a skin graft cultivated from SCP-5199-B. The graft will be supported with an external blood circulator mounted on SCP-5199-A's back. Result: Necrosis after 4 days. The graft was removed easily, having shown no signs of integration. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/17 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 2 November 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Using a mixture of debris collected from SCP-5199-A and epoxy resin, reattach the left index finger of SCP-5199-A. Result: Finger successfully reattached with full range of motion restored. Given the previous degradation of the resin-dust mixture, reapplication of the paste will take place every two days to ensure stability. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/18 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 17 December 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Oral administration of lorazepam (0.5mg chewable tablet) for seizure relief. Result: No significant effect. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/19 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 19 December 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Encourage non-contact bonding time between Leida and her child. Result: No significant effect. Treatment Record: SCP-5199-A/20 ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Date: 26 December 2019 Presiding Physician: Elias Hawthorne ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Procedure: Oral administration of fentanyl (100μg buccal tablet, held in place with gauze and tape) for pain relief. Result: No significant effect.
