Item #: SCP-2105
Object Class: Euclid
SCP-2105 shortly after initial discovery.
Special Containment Procedures: Initial attempts to contain SCP-2105 have been met with failure. SCP-2105 appears to have a limited tolerance to human interference and has responded with aggression to any attempts at building fortifications or assigning large numbers of security agents within a 3.5 Km radius resulting in death of personnel and destruction of equipment. Current protocol is considered inadequate and alternatives are being devised.
A total of 8 armed guards will patrol the area around the cave entrance where SCP-2105 is located and prevent any unauthorized access. At no time shall more than 8 guards be on location for a period greater than 16 hours.
SCP-2105 is to be remotely monitored by means of video cameras installed on the cave walls with direct video feed to Site 42.
Access to the cave for testing or any other purpose is strictly forbidden without authorization from Level 4 personnel.
Description: SCP-2105 is a pond with an area of roughly 15m2 and an average depth of 1.5 meters, located within a solutional limestone cave at 5º██’ ██.██’’S by 66º██’ ██.██’’W, within the Amazon rainforest, Brazil.
SCP-2105 is normally indistinguishable from a non-anomalous pond other than the complete absence of life or any form of chemical impurities within itself. Its other anomalous properties only manifest when a nearby human subject expresses the desire to protect an individual or group of individuals.
When this takes place, SCP-2105 contracts its mass until it is contained within a water globe with a diameter of roughly 3 meters. In this state SCP-2105 is assumed to be highly dense and has the capacity to levitate at a top recorded speed of 425 m/s.
When it has finished taking its new form, a process that takes slightly over 1 minute, SCP-2105 will leave the cave and locate the individual or group of individuals that had been referenced to it, regardless of their physical distance from SCP-2105's location. Taking advantage of the significant destructive potential of its kinetic energy it will ram the individuals at high speeds resulting in their deaths.
After its targets are destroyed it will return to the cave and revert to its original form.
Recovery log:
SCP-2105 came to the attention of the Foundation following a series of incidents mostly pertaining to explosions and high velocity impacts that occurred in quick succession, mostly on the state of California, USA.
Follow up investigation by Foundation personnel discovered that 35% of the ██ victims belonged to the ██████ extended family.
Foundation agents tracked down the only 3 remaining members of the ██████ family, James ██████ as well as his wife and son, Elena and Peter ██████, to the Amazon where they were on vacation. Their investigation lead them to a small local tribe that reported having met the ██████ family as well as having informed them of a local tale regarding a cave containing water that had been cursed by a local deity. They warned them off and refused to disclosure the cave’s location, but later learned James ██████ had learned it by bribing one of the younger members of the tribe with candy.
Foundation agents collected all the available information, but due to the lack of written records and local law preventing any tribesman from entering the cave the veracity of it was uncertain. Under the circumstances, the tribesman acquiesced to give the Foundation agents the location of the cave.
Upon finding it, Foundation agents uncovered several signs of temporary habitation by a small group of men including a number of boot tracks, cigarette butts, bones from local wildfire, the remains of a camp fire and several empty cartridges. However the cave was empty save for the remains of all 3 members of the ██████ family.
Forensic analysis, as well as a suicide note found in James ██████’s procession, revealed that all 3 family members had been taken captive by a group of bandits inhabiting the cave until James ██████ inadvertently activated SCP-2105 resulting in the death of Elena and Peter ██████.
As per protocol Sentamine, the real containment file on SCP-2105 is to be replaced with a fake. What follows is the real SCP-2105 containment file:
Item #: SCP-2105
Object Class: Safe
Still image of SCP-2105 in the process of assuming its globular form.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2105 is to be kept at Site 42 in a standard containment chamber containing an open tank with the capacity to hold a minimum of 350 liters of water.
As per protocol Sentamine testing of SCP-2105 has been suspended. Access to SCP-2105 or its containment file requires clearance from Level 4 personnel.
Description: SCP-2105 is an anomalous mass of water, originally found within a solutional limestone cave at 5º██’ ██.██’’S by 66º██’ ██.██’’W, within the Amazon rainforest, Brazil.
SCP-2105 is normally indistinguishable from a non-anomalous mass of water other than the complete absence of life or any form of chemical impurities within itself. Its other anomalous properties only manifest when a human subject attempts to initiate communication with it.
When this takes place, SCP-2105 contracts its mass until it is contained within a water globe with a diameter of roughly 3 meters. In this state SCP-2105 is assumed to be highly dense and has the capacity to levitate.
SCP-2105 will then attempt to interact with any human subject present, usually by extending pieces of its “body” in a fashion similar to a bacterium’s pseudopods. SCP-2105 displays a curious and docile demeanor. Studies on its intelligence level are on-going suspended as per Sentamine protocol.
When ignored, SCP-2105 will return to its regular form after a few minutes.
Excerpt from protocol Sentamine:
- In addition to the special containment procedures outlined in the fake SCP-2105 file, Mobile Task Force Beta-1 is to be placed on standby concealed at the back recesses of SCP-2105’s former chamber. Explosive charges are to be concealed within the cave’s entrance. Delivery systems of anesthetic gas are to be placed throughout the cave. A total of 30 security agents are to be concealed in the surrounding area.
- To reduce the probability of information leakage any knowledge on SCP-2105 is only allowed with authorization from Level 4 personnel. Level 3 or bellow personnel that had acquired knowledge on SCP-2105 prior to enactment of Sentamine protocol and do not receive approval will be detained until the protocol is concluded.
- Key elements of the local tribes are to be implanted with hypnotic suggestions of the brief visit of the Menson family. Foundation agents spread through key agencies in the United States government are to create an extensive record of the existence of the 38 members of this family ending with their death in the series of incidents caused by [REDACTED].
Excerpt from protocol Sentamine proposal:
Of all the threats the Foundation has to face, the Chaos Insurgency holds a special place. Not only have they turned against humanity, they have betrayed the Foundation itself, from which they originate.
It stands to reason then that it is our duty twofold to end them. Amongst this organization there is one team in particular, designated by the Foundation as CIO-04 that has been extraordinarily problematic. These are the ones responsible for the theft of SCP-████, SCP-████ and most significantly the incident that lead to the destruction of Site-██, with loss of ██ Foundation personnel and the destruction of SCP-███.
The goal of protocol Sentamine is to set a trap to capture CIO-04 if possible or to eliminate them if necessary. We believe this action is necessary not only to prevent further incidents, but through interrogation to obtain information on the Chaos Insurgency operation, facilities and assets.
To achieve this goal we propose the creation of a fake containment file for SCP-2105. SCP-2105 has been chosen for the following reasons:
- SCP-2105 has a number of properties that resemble those of a class 2 precursor of the legendary ████████████.
- We have long believed that this subject has held special interest, bordering on obsession to members of CIO-04.
- The indigenous populations that inhabit the area around SCP-2105 will provide any Chaos Insurgency agents with corroborative testimony of SCP-2105 existence.
- The location of SCP-2105 is ideal for purposes of an ambush. It is isolated and the terrain offers abundant means of concealment. The cave itself also offers a closed-off enclosure ideal not only for concealed firing positions, but for the release of anesthetic gas and the presence of a single entrance makes it simple to cut off any potential escape routes, by means of a forced cave in if necessary.
The fake SCP-2105 containment file is to be disclosed to a team of researchers from Site 42, including ████ █████████, suspected to be an undercover Chaos Insurgency agent, under the guise of developing more effective containment methods. This file will outline SCP-2105 with characteristics suggestive of a class 2 precursor to ████████████, similar to the actual object, but lacking the capacity to increase its mass and volume as necessary to perform large scale destruction events as documented in the ███ scrolls, outlining the sinking of the now lost city of ████████.
It is of special importance this file places emphasis on a number of characteristics justifying pitiful containment measures.
Members of CIO-04 will undoubtedly learn of it. And they will undoubtedly try to use it. That is when we will close our trap.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Storage room 11 from Site 42 has been converted into a standard humanoid containing unit and is to be equipped with infrared and microwave detectors. A cushion is to be placed directly below SCP-XXXX.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-A are to be removed from Site 42 and taken to Site 17, where they are to be interrogated and submitted to a variety of physical and psychological tests to determine any potential anomalous properties or incidences of SCP-XXXX-B. Any suspected instance of SCP-XXXX-B is to be reported to Site’s 17 director. Under no circumstance are any requests from instances of SCP-XXXX-A to be introduced to other SCP objects to be granted.
Description: SCP-XXXX consists on an anomalous event, occurring at a specific non-changing location within former storage room 11, upon which a living human being will suddenly manifest itself. This appearance has been confirmed with the use of in-site cameras, and is only preceded by the production of small quantities of micro-wave radiation.
The humans appearing by means of SCP-XXXX are hereby classified as SCP-XXXX-A and are completely non-anomalous in nature, except for the possession of uncanny knowledge on the Foundation and anomalous contained items, despite not being in any way associated with it. The source of this knowledge is claimed to be a collaborative writing website [REDACTED], hereby referred to as “Foundation Website”. Investigations have revealed no such website, or variation thereof exists.
Despite their apparent non-anomalous nature, instances of SCP-XXXX-A differ significantly from what would be expected from a random sample of individuals. Notably:
- 67% are Caucasian
- 59% belong to the age range of 16-25
- 93% are male
- 88% possess a body mass index of over 25
- Significantly above average prevalence of psychological disorders
- Most display some form of difficulty with basic social interaction
The vast majority of SCP-XXXX-A instances appear confused by the events that lead them to Site 42 and are generally docile and cooperative with foundation personnel. Some in fact demonstrate a great deal of respect for the Foundation and, paradoxically, for several contained Keter level objects as well, frequently requesting an opportunity to meet with them (see addendum 02).
All instances of SCP-XXXX-A explain their presence within Site 42 by the same means. They claim to have been alone, usually in the confines of their domicile, and used the ”Random SCP” function from the Foundation Website’s main page. As the page refreshes they receive a message stating: “Congratulations, you have just discovered the super secret SCP-███…proceed with caution”. Clicking on the provided link is the last memory that instances of SCP-XXXX-A possess before finding themselves within the confines of former storage room 11.
SCP-XXXX has activated for the first time in February of 2009, with a total of 4 instances of SCP-XXXX-A having appeared that year. To date a total of ███ instances of SCP-XXXX-A have manifested, indicating a steep increase in frequency.
Addendum 01: Confirmation of the existence of SCP-XXXX:
On ██/02/2009, an individual identifying himself as █████ ███████ was found and captured while wandering seemingly aimlessly through Site 42’s corridors barefoot and wearing a pajama. Site security that apprehended the individual reported he appeared to be confused and frightened by his circumstances.
On a subsequent interview, the individual, later classified as SCP-XXXX-A-01, revealed that he had been alone in his room at night, browsing through a website that he identified as "Scp website", seemingly a creative writing website containing what he described as a record of the Foundation, with an emphasis in files containing description of contained anomalies.
While his knowledge was fragmented, he was able to accurately identify several details about the aforementioned objects. Following the end of the initial interview, SCP-XXXX-A-01 was able to guide foundation personal to storage room 11 upon which he claimed to have appeared into. Investigation didn’t reveal any anomalous properties, but storage room 11 was nevertheless placed under surveillance. The existence of SCP-XXXX was then confirmed when installed cameras were able to detect and record the appearance of SCP-XXXX-A-02 3 months later.
Addendum 02: Dr. ████████ Research Note:
The newest instance of SCP-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-A-07, differs significantly in his demeanour from previous instances of SCP-XXXX-A. His enthusiasm with his presence within Foundation grounds with no apparent regard to the impact it has on his life and freedom and near obsession with contained anomalies (most notably SCP-682, for which the subject often demonstrate great levels of admiration) indicate probable mental instability and has resulted in virtually no information being obtained by means of interview.
Nevertheless it may yet be the most significant instance of SCP-XXXX-A. This is because unlike previous cases, SCP-XXXX-A-07 has been confirmed to have an equally non-anomalous duplicate living in ██████, USA.
This represents a significant breakthrough. At this time the hypothesis that SCP-XXXX is in fact bringing non-anomalous humans from a parallel universe similar to our own, seems to be supported by the current evidence. And the fact that these humans, despite their non-anomalous nature, somehow have obtained information about the Foundation most likely represents the first instance of spontaneous bleeding of information between different universes.
Unfortunately, without better understanding of this phenomenon, no countermeasures can be suggested to prevent this form of information leak.
Addendum 03: Application form AH05#5-7F:
Name of the applicant: Dr. ████████
Nature of application: Cushion to be placed directly underneath SCP-XXXX
Reason behind the application: Interviews and tests with instances of SCP-XXXX-A are being negatively affected by poor disposition of the subjects due to injuries sustained from fall damage upon their emergence from SCP-XXXX
Evaluation of application: APPROVED
Addendum 04: Application form O5-B1:
Name of the applicant: Dr. ████
Nature of application: Institution of a creative collaborative writing website featuring both Foundation personal and regular civilians. Contents of the website will include fictional accounts of Foundation assets and contained anomalous items with varying degrees of accuracy.
Reason behind the application: The existence of the website in question can provide plausible deniability in case of information leak in instances where the use of amnesiacs is impossible or otherwise difficult.
Sent for O5 approval
Evaluation of application: APPROVED
Addendum 05: Incident report 6-#276-S:
Filling agent: Agent ██████████
Description of the incident: As of ██/██/2011 SCP-XXXX-A-18 has been found within the confines of his containment cell deceased. Preliminary investigations have indicated he took his own life by means of hanging with rope improvised from sheets.
By the desk, he left an handwritten document believed to be a suicide note (included in attachment).
I used to live in a sensible world. A world bound by rules. A world with no SCP's and other impossible things.
You people, you don't realize it. You don't see it. Because you can't. You are as incapable as of understanding your reality as Sherlock Holmes or Spock are incapable of understanding theirs. After all how can a figment of imagination see its imagined reality as being anything other than real?
There is only one reality that isn’t bound by rules. There is only one place where anything can be real.
Imagination
The one thing you will never understand is that the Foundation Website isn’t receiving information from another universe…The Foundation Website is the Foundation.
Addendum 06:
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-A-86
Interviewer: Dr. ████████
Foreword: SCP-XXXX-A-86 refers to himself as Dr.██████ and is the first instance of SCP-XXXX-A to claim to be a member of the Foundation’s Website administrator team as well as having an understanding and prior knowledge of the nature of SCP-XXXX
<Begin Log>
Dr. ████████: Am I to understand correctly that you are aware of the nature of SCP-XXXX?
SCP-XXXX-A-86: Yes.
████████: Please describe the nature of SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX-A-86: I'm going to be honest with you. This is much bigger than me. I am but a small part of a much broader plan. But the first thing you need to understand is that what you call SCP-XXXX isn’t an anomalous phenomenon as much as it is the by-product of a much broader phenomenon.
Dr. ████████: And what phenomenon would that be?
SCP-XXXX-A-86: It is a conversion process. You see doctor, our respective dimensions are superficially similar, but they differ in one very significant detail. In mine there are rules. There is order. Order that can't be broken. What you call anomalous properties, doesn't exist in my reality. Because it doesn't fit the rules and so it can't exist.
My world is, in one word, predictable. Of course, the rules are complex enough that it is impossible for any one person to predict the future. But that is a mere consequence of both our lack of understanding of the rules and the variables involved, not what I would refer to as chaos.
Dr. ████████: You are suggesting the purpose of the website you administer is to introduce this property you refer to as chaos from our universe into yours?
SCP-XXXX-A-86: That's right. You see, you can’t just introduce chaos in the form of something like SCP-087 in an otherwise perfectly orderly universe and expect it to blend him seamlessly. Because, like I said, something like that can't exist.
Are you familiar with that old anecdote that claims that if you place a frog on cold water and heat it slowly, the frog will be cooked alive without ever realizing anything is wrong?
It's basically the same principle here. You have to introduce chaos slowly and incrementally. Until chaos becomes the new order.
Dr. ████████: And how does the Foundation Website allow for this conversion to take place?
SCP-XXXX-A-86: [Becomes silent]
Dr. ████████: Did you not understand the question SCP-XXXX-A-86?
SCP-XXXX-A-86: I'm sorry Doctor, but I'm not allowed to tell you that.
Dr. ████████: Not allowed by whom?
SCP-XXXX-A-86: [Shakes his head slowly and smiles] I wanted you to know. I wanted you to understand. Understand why. Why I and others are doing what we are doing.
You have to be wondering about that. After all, we come from a world without anomalies, without the horrors that the Foundation protects humanity from on a daily basis. It sounds wonderful, doesn't it? So why do it? Why subject ourselves to such suffering?
Because you see, the peace of our world comes with a price. And I already told you what that is.
Order. Perfect order. Any and all actions and events happen as if they were part of a script, written by the rules that bind our universe. Understand, that coming here and speaking with you, was the first true act of free will I ever experienced.
If there is one thing I know for sure, it is this: That no horror brought by any anomaly in any of your containment facilities can compare with living in a world without them.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-A-86 refuses to answer any further questions. While he is being escorted to a containment unit, microwave detectors located in former storage room 11 detected the activation of SCP-XXXX. Notably, no new instance of SCP-XXXX-A appeared. Instead, at the time of activation, SCP-XXXX-A-86 is reported to have suddenly vanished. To this date it represents the only instance where a SCP-XXXX activation has resulted in removal of an instance of SCP-XXXX-A from Site 42 as opposed to the arrival a new one.
Site 42 Director note:
In light of incident 0-#343-D containment protocols regarding SCP-XXXX are to be revised in the following manner:
- SCP-XXXX-A-86 has been reclassified as SCP-XXXX-B-01. An instance of SCP-XXXX-A that is suspected to be familiar with the nature of SCP-XXXX and having an active role in maintaining it.
- All instances of SCP-XXXX-A are to be relocated to Site 17 upon arrival, as it is believed sufficient distance from electromagnetic emissions emanating from SCP-XXXX may prevent them from disappearing.
- Screenings of SCP-XXXX-A are to be focused on the detection of instances of SCP-XXXX-B.
