Item Number: SCP-ZZZZ
Object Class: Safe
Containment Procedures: SCP-ZZZZ is to be held in a containment chamber at Site-XX with a ceiling of at least 6m. Testing of SCP-ZZZZ must be approved by personnel of level 4 or higher, to avoid unnecessary damage to the item. As by-products of testing have been proven non-anomalous, they may be requisitioned by Site-XX personnel by submitting form ZZZZ-A-12. Please note that as of 20/12/2017, all toys previously produced by SCP-ZZZZ testing have been requisitioned.
Description: SCP-ZZZZ is a sculpture of a pine tree, 5m in height and 2m in maximum diameter, consisting of a wrought-iron frame and over 12,000 cylindrical glass 'needles' measuring 3-5cm in length and 2mm in diameter. An inscription at the base of the sculpture reads "Infusion". SCP-ZZZZ's anomalous effect occurs when one of the needles is broken into two or more distinct pieces. All fragments of the needle will vanish, and a small toy, appropriate for a child between the ages of 5 and 10, will materialize in their place. Toys produced this way have included dolls, stuffed animals, board games, and small construction sets. These items are non-anomalous, and those with legible bar codes have been successfully tracked to various stores in the Southern Ontario area, although purchase history could not be verified. Testing has shown that needles taken from the left side of the sculpture (relative to the inscription) tend to produce toys commonly marketed towards boys, while the right side produces toys marketed towards girls.
Addendum ZZZZ-1: During routing testing on 13/10/2017, the following handwritten note materialized instead of the expected toy:
Since this event, all testing has resulted in the materialization of uniform 25g charcoal briquettes.
Item #: SCP-ZZZZ
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Instances SCP-ZZZZ should be kept in Safe-Class containment lockers at Medical Site-18. Testing of SCP-ZZZZ should take place in rooms at least 20m in length to allow full manifestation of anomalous effects. Foundation operatives will monitor hospitals and syringe manufacturers for reports which may indicate an instance of SCP-ZZZZ. If a new instance is confirmed, operatives will acquire it and distribute amnestics to affected individuals as necessary.
Description: SCP-ZZZZ is a glass syringe, 15 cm in length, with a 12mm x 10G (3.4 mm) needle. The glass is transparent, and the plunger is made of steel. Testing has shown that the materials date to approximately 1940, but instances of SCP-ZZZZ are consistently found in good condition. The words "The Factory" have been etched in the barrel of each instance of SCP-ZZZZ. There are currently ██ instances of SCP-ZZZZ in containment, with an estimated ███ still unaccounted for.
SCP-ZZZZ's anomalous effects occur when the needle is inserted into a living human's muscle tissue while the plunger is completely depressed. Attempting to pull SCP-ZZZZ's plunger instead causes the needle to lengthen. Removing the needle without pulling the plunger will result in removing the needle normally. The needle will continue to lengthen until it reaches approximately 17 m in length, at which point the tip of the needle will fall out of the subject, and the excess length of the needle will shatter, returning SCP-ZZZZ to it original length.
Item #: SCP-ZZZZ
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The 2.8 kilometer area throughout which SCP-ZZZZ travels, along with an additional 1.2 km buffer zone, has been fenced off from the public under the premise of a toxic waste spill from a nearby power plant. A three-man unit is to patrol the exterior of the area four times daily. A second three-man unit is to provide status reports on SCP-ZZZZ every thirty minutes. Should SCP-ZZZZ change to Stage 4, MTF Delta-12 (Stagehands) is authorized to use force until Stage 4 activities cease.
Item #: SCP-ZZZZ
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-ZZZZ is held in a padded humanoid containment chamber furnished with a bed, medical equipment appropriate for catatonic patients, and a chair with restraints for interviews and interrogations during lucid periods. SCP-ZZZZ should be observed at all times. At least one Agent with interrogation experience and fluency in Portuguese will remain on-site. Any indication of lucidity should be immediately reported to the current on-site Agent, who will be supplied with information regarding current Foundation operations which may require interrogation of SCP-ZZZZ. Due to its anomalous properties, revealing classified information to SCP-ZZZZ is not considered a security breach.
Description: SCP-ZZZZ is an elderly Brazilian female, approximately 65 years of age. 90% of SCP-ZZZZ's conscious periods are spent in a catatonic state. When lucid, SCP-ZZZZ experiences numerous overlapping audio and visual hallucinations, which cause it significant mental and emotional distress.
Interviews with SCP-ZZZZ suggest that it possesses constant access to the thoughts and memories of most, if not all, currently living individuals, but does not possess the mental faculties necessary to process the information provided by this ability. While lucid, SCP-ZZZZ can focus on the memories of particular individuals or current events, with significant prompting. When this prompting is successful, SCP-ZZZZ can provide correct information on current activities of individuals or of events at a location, regardless of distance, with a high degree of accuracy. Past events do not possess the same degree of accuracy, but this is believed to be the result of imperfections in the memories accessed, rather than an inability to access the memories on SCP-ZZZZ's part. Focusing on a subject or location for longer than 45 seconds causes physical damage to SCP-ZZZZ, particularly around the mucous membranes, as well as standard mental distress caused by periods of lucidity. Attempts to use SCP-ZZZZ's abilities to enhance the Foundation's knowledge before secure operations has a success rate of 31%.
SCP-ZZZZ was recovered from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where its abilities were being used by its three children to sell celebrity gossip to local magazines. All four were arrested by local police, and SCP-ZZZZ's properties were discovered during initial booking. The family of SCP-ZZZZ and involved police were issued Class-C amnestics.
Interview ZZZZ-81:
Foreword: The following interview took place in an attempt to discover the origin of SCP-ZZZZ's abilities. Interviewer: Agent Cardoso. Translated from Portuguese.
Being Log
Agent Cardoso: Good evening, ZZZZ.
SCP-ZZZZ: Here to torment me again, devils?
Agent Cardoso: No, today I want to know how you came to have your abilities. Just your own memories.
SCP-ZZZZ: Breathing heavily. Twelfth birthday. Got a new bicycle. Father smiled at me. First time all year.
Agent Cardoso checks his files. SCP-ZZZZ's head sags slightly.
Agent Cardoso: According to what we already have on your history, your father died when you were eight.
SCP-ZZZZ: Yes. Wrong memory. Not mine. SCP-ZZZZ's nose begins to bleed slightly. Thirty-seven. Husband beat me. Fought back. No, not mine. Eighty-nine. Cancer. No, still not mine. Where are mine?
Agent Cardoso: Focus, ZZZZ. Just remember your own memories. Start with when we found you, with your children, and remember from there.
SCP-ZZZZ: Children, yes. Two. No, just one. Fransisco? Felipe? No, Bruno. A good boy. Always cared for me.
Agent Cardoso: You have three children. They were using you. Do you remember?
SCP-ZZZZ: I…three? No, only one. Very good boy. Banker. No, no, no! Not mine! SCP-ZZZZ becomes increasingly distressed, and begins to bleed from the eyes. Three. Triplets, three girls. No, still not mine. Where are mine? So many memories. So many. Cannot find mine. Where are mine? Where are…
SCP-ZZZZ returns to its catatonic state.
End Log
Incident ZZZZ-01: During an interrogation of SCP-ZZZZ, with the goal of obtaining information on a Chaos Insurgency stronghold, SCP-ZZZZ was observed to become silent for a period of approximately 10 seconds, after which it uttered, in English, "That's a neat trick," and [MEMETIC CONTAMINATION EXPUNGED], infecting the interrogating agent and resulting in ██ casualties before containment could be reestablished. Attempting to use SCP-ZZZZ to access information from organizations with knowledge of memetics has been forbidden without Level-5 or higher override. SCP-ZZZZ appears not to have been affected by this incident.
*Two animals (visually similar, but drastically different sizes) whose cause and effect have been switched.
*The aftermath of a particularly disturbing Herman Fuller performance. The audience still wanders, eyes glazed, searching for someone to cheer on.
*A computer virus that causes everything to be capitalized. The person who opened the virus begins involuntarily speaking louder and louder. Made by a non-AWCY anartist, as a jab.
*Skin and body separate, and cannot be made to approach within 10 feet of each other. they still share sensation, and the skin is not happy about the separation.
*Something based off the song "When He Died" by Lemon Demon
*Anomalous Misophonia
