Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently contained in Digital Archive 06 at Site-15. Those who wish to communicate with SCP-XXXX must undergo psychological evaluation prior to interaction. All communications with SCP-XXXX are to be recorded, and a second evaluation will be carried out at the conclusion of these interactions.
SCP-XXXX is undergoing weekly psychological evaluations.

SCP-XXXX-Alpha appears to be a simulated haunted attraction, with the subject walking through a "haunted house" as live-action performers wearing make-up and costumes jump out around corners or through doorways in an attempt to startle the subject. Time taken to travel through SCP-XXXX-Alpha is estimated at approximately 8-9 minutes. In all non-lucid exploration attempts, subjects are made to walk through the attraction and awake immediately after its conclusion.
SCP-XXXX-Alpha appears to behave as a singular, consistent timeline across exposed subjects. When multiple exposed subjects fall asleep at approximately the same time, said subjects report observing each other within the initial lobby area. One subject is chosen at random to enter the attraction, with all other subjects having to wait for the subject to pass through.

SCP-XXXX is a collection of entities masquerading as roleplayers in a virtual roleplay/hangout made in 1997; if you roleplay with them, you will disappear, and your avatar will become another SCP-XXXX, taking on the role that you had.
If they are unable to fulfill their own role for too long, they will become totally immobile.
Virtual Site-11 has been created to fulfill the settings and scenarios demanded by SCP-XXXX instances' roles, while also ensuring a safe place to monitor their activity. The Site is divided into 3 primary areas; the Spawn area, where both personnel and SCP-XXXX instances manifest1, the "Play" area, containing all SCP-XXXX instances, and the Personnel sections, a personnel-only area meant for overlooking the containment sectors and remotely activating various functions across the containment area.
An external messaging system has been established for personnel to communicate through. Under no circumstances are personnel to use the in-game messaging system, nor are they to communicate with SCP-XXXX instances whatsoever, verbally or otherwise, unless otherwise instructed.
As no means of directly creating a player whitelist is possible within the game, at least 2 personnel are to be within the Personnel sector of Site-11 at all times. All doors connecting to the outer security codes

The more anomalies that are in the SCP, the more unstable the bubble becomes. The bubble was once a large site, so there are already a lot of SCPs within that are trying to escape the SCP. Once they escaped their containment bubbles, they melded into the concept of a breach (????????)

After reviewing the following:
- Your methods of harvesting "vital Foundation resources" from SCP-XXXX.
- A report of the incident that claimed the life of Jacob Hatchers.
- Foundation animal handler Augustus Flint's summary of the behaviors exhibited by SCP-XXXX after you began your harvesting methods,
The SCP Foundation Ethics Committee has come to the conclusion that your behavior has been needlessly violent and abusive, and has left SCP-XXXX psychologically scarred.
With this information, the Ethics Committee has decided that you are unfit for the handling of animals and similar intelligent life. You are hereby permanently removed from your duties of overseeing SCP-XXXX, and you are now forbidden from working with any SCP objects that form any approximation to animal life.
SCP-XXXX is the tentative designation for an entity that may not exist, as until █/██/2017 only indirect and circumstantial evidence for its existence could be found.
NOTICE: Due a catastrophic anti-informational anomaly, all prior information directly concerning SCP-XXXX, including its original documents and memories of the object has been completely expunged from reality. Furthermore, as the object in question has not been located, it can be assumed that it has either breached containment or is neutralized. Until its exact status is determined, the object has been assigned the Keter object classification.

Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Each instance of SCP-XXXX-A is to be contained in a portable containment locker. Under no circumstances are any two instances of SCP-XXXX-A to be contained at the same containment Site; if possible, no two instances should be allowed within 40 kilometers of each other.
In the event of an SCP-XXXX-BETA event, all SCP-XXXX-A containment lockers are to be simultaneously flooded with any available sound deadening liquid.
Under no circumstances are any instances of SCP-XXXX-B to be played. Should any instance of SCP-XXXX-B need to be removed from its containment locker, a number of armed guards are to accompany the individual.
During Phase 1 of the SCP-XXXX-BETA event, Protocol-XXXX-2 is to be enacted, preparing global Foundation forces for rapid deployment in the event that the SCP-XXXX-Beta event reaches Phase 2. In the event that the SCP-XXXX-BETA event reaches phase 2, all
Description: SCP-XXXX is the collective designation for all anomalous materials associated with Incident SCP-XXXX-Alpha.
SCP-XXXX-A is a musical score, of which very little information has been recovered. The complete performance is unknown, as the vast majority of existing sheet music for the piece has since gone missing or been destroyed.
Based on evidence from surviving notation, SCP-XXXX-A was composed by Ernest Chausson, who disappeared alongside all of the musicians and most of the civilian onlookers in the first, and only, complete performance of SCP-XXXX-A. The incident has been designated Incident SCP-XXXX-Alpha, and false records of Ernest's death were successful at minimizing public suspicion.
SCP-XXXX-B are a collection of musical instruments used during Incident SCP-XXXX-Alpha, the first attempted performance of SCP-XXXX-A. There are presently 64 known instances of SCP-XXXX-B, with the original symphony consisting of an estimated 90 instruments. Foundation efforts are focused exclusively on ensuring the safe containment of all instances, and the prevention of additional instances manifesting.
Phase 1 of an SCP-XXXX-Beta Event is marked by the spontaneous animation of every SCP-XXXX-B instance, seeming to be tuning themselves in preparation for Phase 2. The exact length of time before completion of the Tuning phase varies, with the minimum distance between any two instances of SCP-XXXX-B, the number of SCP-XXXX-B, and the maximum distance that the sound carries all seeming to play a part in the speed at which Phase 1 is completed, although there also seems to be some amount of randomness. The longer Phase 1 carries on, the lower the probability that Phase 2 will occur afterwards; should Phase 1 be extended to over 10 minutes, the probability of Phase 2 activation is minute.
Should an instance of SCP-XXXX-B be destroyed, an SCP-XXXX-Beta event will immediately occur; during these events, all efforts to stop Phase 1 have been ineffective, and Phase 1 will be completed within 30 seconds. Following the conclusion of the event, the destroyed SCP-XXXX-B instance is replaced. During an SCP-XXXX-Beta event, all instances of SCP-XXXX-B have proven to be invulnerable to damage or alteration through any known means.
During Phase 2, all instances of SCP-XXXX-B will spontaneously disappear from containment, reappearing in the center of a populated area. Although the anomaly has appeared in numerous locations globally, it appears to most often manifest in regions of Paris, France. SCP-XXXX-B will manifest with a musician to play them, designated SCP-XXXX-C. All instances of SCP-XXXX-C remain consistent with their appropriate instrument, and each bears the likelihood of the original musician who played that part. In the case of newly manifested SCP-XXXX-B instances, the victim taken at the conclusion of the SCP-XXXX-Beta event will become that instrument's player, regardless of their original level of skill with said instrument.

Upon activation, it produces a dome barrier to prevent the thing within from escaping; it will then "scan" the object to attempt to determine the nature/general source of the anomaly's properties. After it is determined, it begins a process the operators call "unraveling," wherein the circle performs an action that neutralizes the anomaly.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid, pending Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX, no active containment efforts are currently underway; SCP-XXXX-A has been successful in self-isolating, preventing further spread by effectively containing itself. SCP-XXXX-3 has played a large role in enforcing this isolation by permanently suppressing escape attempts by SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-1 is currently the only known location currently affected by SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Type-III Semantic Sinkhole affecting the concept of its own designation, SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX originated from some point within SCP-XXXX-1; however, the original source of SCP-XXXX is currently unknown, due to the nature of SCP-XXXX.
Any physical entity, object, or location directly involved in the active containment of SCP-XXXX will become additional SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-A refers to the collective whole of objects affected by SCP-XXXX. As a result of its properties, several Mobile Task Force units deployed to suppress SCP-XXXX became SCP-XXXX (Now identified as SCP-XXXX-3). As SCP-XXXX's effects are purely semantic, the function of SCP-XXXX-A remains relatively normal.
It was soon discovered that specific subdesignations for SCP-XXXX-affected entities are able to be used; items referred to using an altered designation are capable of being identified as individual instances, which has served to significantly improve morale among SCP-XXXX-2.
A partial log of subdesignations are below:
SCP-XXXX-A: Denotes all objects and entities affected by SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX-1: The Site affected by SCP-XXXX. The entirety of SCP-XXXX is contained within SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-2: All non-security personnel involved in the containment of SCP-XXXX at the time of spread; individualized by adding their last name onto the end of the designation6
SCP-XXXX-3: Mobile Task Force units currently in place, actively suppressing attempts by rogue SCP-XXXX-2, as well as attempts to maintain morale among SCP-XXXX-2.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Any recovered instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be analyzed for notable deviations in typical appearance. Once the object has been cataloged, it is to be dismantled, as the individual components are safe to incinerate.
Currently, 12 identical instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are contained in a Low Value Item Storage Vault, as well as an additional 3 abnormal instances. The Site's break room can be used to generate new instances in the event that the current number of instances in containment is reduced to 10 or lower.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon occurring when a particular arrangement of furniture is formed within an enclosed space. Arrangement is specified in Document XXXX-01. So long as the furniture is placed within an enclosed space, and an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 is not already present anywhere within the room, the environment the furniture is placed in does not appear to have any effect on the phenomenon. Due to the furniture used, the most likely scenario leading to accidental SCP-XXXX manifestation is when furniture is being moved into a living room area.
As furniture is in the process of being moved into the arrangement, SCP-XXXX-1 will appear to instantaneously manifest in the far left corner of the arrangement, relative to the location of the furniture used in manifesting the object. Rearranging furniture with little to no alteration in the position of SCP-XXXX-1 will result in the object demanifesting in a similar manner.
Each instance of SCP-XXXX-1 resembles a saddle stool, approximately 0.6 meters in height. The vast majority of instances are identical, constructed with polished wood and white plastic components, though several appear to have been constructed using hand-crafted wood components. SCP-XXXX-1 has a circular hole 10 cm in diameter located on the "top" of the object. This hole appears to lead to a rectangular enclosed space of internal volume identical to the dimensions of the object's exterior.
The walls of this space are typically made from polished wood. Objects can be stored within this negative space, and will affect the total weight of the object. Several instances of SCP-XXXX-1 have been found to have been disinfected at the time of manifestation with varying forms of commercial disinfectants.
In some cases, small objects are found within instances of SCP-XXXX. These objects occasionally possess mild spatial anomalies, and include:
- Individual, deceased Musca domestica7.
- United States currency, typically in the form of dimes and quarters.
- 1 object presumed to be a form of tubular key; object appears to be heavier towards the head than mass and density would seem to permit, leading researchers to assume some part of the mechanism exists in four-dimensional space.
- Metal screws, notably lighter than their mass and density should allow.
- 3 small tracking devices, each found in the next 3 instances of SCP-XXXX-1 to manifest. These devices have yet to be seen since. Attempts to trace the signal indicate that the source is out of range.
Addendum XXXX-01: As of [DATE], unique instances of SCP-XXXX-1 have dramatically increased in probability of manifesting.
Addendum XXXX-02: A hand-crafted instance was found containing a small, handwritten note taped to the inner wall. This note was written in Spanish, and has been transcribed below.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained in a glass beaker in a Medium-Sized Standard Storage Vault, modified to hold the beaker in a plastic tray in the event that the properties of SCP-XXXX-Alpha are detected. Following Incident XXXX-01, only D-Class testing is to be performed.
In the event that SCP-XXXX's properties are activated, a global broadcast will be automatically transmitted across all cross-Site communications systems to alert the Sites of an oncoming NK-Class Self-Replication Scenario.
A secondary dedicated containment chamber is currently under consideration, equipped for SCP-XXXX-Alpha's properties for ease of relocation.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a sample of an unidentified liquid, possessing physical properties and appearance identical to pure mercury; however, the liquid appears to be totally nonreactive to chemical changes, and has been determined to lack any apparent atomic structure. SCP-XXXX possesses no other readily apparent properties.
In the event that a subject remains within a 5-meter radius of SCP-XXXX for a period of 60 seconds, SCP-XXXX's primary anomalous property will activate, in which the subject will experience a simulated reality, with the sole difference from the Baseline being the radical change in SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties. This simulation lasts until the subject's death, though the event appears nearly instantaneous to outside observers. This alternate form of SCP-XXXX is designated SCP-XXXX-Alpha.
SCP-XXXX-Alpha will rapidly force itself within any materials it maintains contact with for periods of 60 seconds at a time, spreading itself through the material in a "veinlike" pattern, branching throughout the material in a predictable and uniform fashion until the material collapses due to its weakened structure. The individual pieces of the object will be destroyed in a similar manner, and so on, until no trace of the material is left. It has been hypothesized that SCP-XXXX-Alpha will continue to break down materials on a molecular and even atomic level.
Should a solid material prove to be larger in size than the volume of SCP-XXXX would allow to cause total destruction, SCP-XXXX-Alpha will replicate until a sufficient quantity is obtained to produce its destructive effect.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a Medium-Value Item Storage Vault. Personnel are to have a Memetic Resistance Value of 4 or higher in order to access SCP-XXXX. Personnel affected by SCP-XXXX are to be scheduled for psychiatric evaluation and are to be transferred to another site.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the partial skeleton of a humanoid entity recovered from an archaeological dig site in [REDACTED], Denmark. Object is entirely intact, with the exception of its right arm and shoulder, which have yet to be located. Object is estimated to have originated in 500 AD, though little can be fully determined due to the object's properties. While the body has been almost entirely decomposed as a result of exposure to moisture, the bone structure has remained perfectly intact, and have later been found to be totally indestructible to any form of harm. Joints are held together with small quantities of cartilage, and have been found to be similarly indestructible.
SCP-XXXX is nearly identical in structure to that of a human being; however, the object, at standing height, rests at 2.67 meters tall. The bones are noticeably thicker than average, likely to support the additional weight of the entity. Entity possesses a slight muzzle, with two rows of sharp fangs.
Various runic markings have been discovered to be burnt into each bone, covering the majority of the structure. These runes do not match any known language, but do share strong similarities with an ancient predecessor to the thaumaturgical runes. Attempts to translate them are hindered by the seemingly random placement of the runes as well as the fact that the other, identified set has yet to be fully translated itself.
Prolonged exposure to SCP-XXXX will result in an olfactory anomaly in subjects, characterized by the presence of a powerful smell when the subject experiences intense emotion, described as the smell of "a cold, wet cave". Scent is described as surrounding the subject.
The walls of the cavern SCP-XXXX was recovered from was found to be engraved with writings in Old English. A partial translation of several pieces of text has been placed in Transcript XXXX-1 below.
Born into a world of hate and violence, I wait and watch to the side.

At this point, subject is to remain under constant surveillance to ensure the subject does not self-terminate.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous concept, always imagined by one individual at a time; the subject currently aware of SCP-XXXX is referred to as SCP-XXXX-1. Once the current SCP-XXXX-1 forgets SCP-XXXX, a new, seemingly random subject will conceive SCP-XXXX, and they will become the new instance of SCP-XXXX. A direct description of SCP-XXXX-2 can be used to effectively "force" the description into the new subject, at which point the previous subject will forget the description for SCP-XXXX-2. Partial or incomplete descriptions are insufficient in forcing the effect, unless the subject is capable of inferring the rest of the concept.
SCP-XXXX is the description of a memetic non-entity, designated SCP-XXXX-2, which will manifest in close proximity to the subject, and which can only be perceived by the current SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-2 appears to be a quadruped animal composed entirely of cardboard, spray-painted orange.
SCP-XXXX will gradually alter the current SCP-XXXX-1's ability to describe objects that are in close proximity to SCP-XXXX-2, particularly when described in relation to any other objects with the exception of SCP-XXXX-2. This effect is permanent, and lasts even after SCP-XXXX is forgotten.
Subject D-17498 is placed in a standardized humanoid containment cell, containing books and is to remain in the chamber over the span of 6 months to determine the long-term effects of SCP-XXXX. Subject was re-exposed to SCP-XXXX on an hourly basis. Subject was interviewed once daily to determine the degree of change.
Note that specific details will often be redacted.
<Day 1:> Subject, when asked to compare a sheet of cardboard to any living creature (with the exception of SCP-XXXX-2), subject displayed confusion before hesitantly responding with "stingray".
<Day 3:> Subject states that their food tastes like cardboard. When questioned, they stated that this was only a figure of speech.
**<Day 11:> Subject has begun to describe most inanimate objects as dead cardboard.
<Day 15:> Subject experienced difficulty in reading books, referring to text as "Ink on dead cardboard."
<Day 18:> Subject describes wood as "tough, dead cardboard."
Day 21: Subject has begun to lose the ability to determine the difference between "living" objects and "dead" objects, considering any moving object to be "alive".
Day 24: At some point between Day 23 and Day 24, subject has experienced a near-total loss of the ability to differentiate books, tables, chairs, and walls from cardboard. Due to limited exposure to actual living organisms, only minor alterations are noted.
Day 25: Subject is prevented from asphyxiating on their plastic utensils, apparently under the belief that any sufficiently pliable material was fit for consumption.
Day 33: Subject believes that all objects in the room are SCP-XXXX-2. When exposed to human life, subject reacted with fear, as the subject had apparently lost all concept of humanity due to close proximity to SCP-XXXX-2. Testing concluded.
<End Log>
Due to the constant exposure to information regarding SCP-XXXX-2, Special Containment Procedures were unable to be carried out, as D-17498 remained constantly exposed to the effect. Information concerning SCP-XXXX-2 has effectively maintained constant antimemetic properties, and at the Site Director's ruling, subject D-17498 is to remain in confinement as a more cost-effective means of containing SCP-XXXX.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid, pending Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Any subjects outside of containment found to be an instance of SCP-XXXX are to be discretely monitored. Due to subjects following easily identifiable psychological patterns, most of the more common personality types tend to be easier to identify.
All personnel assigned to a project requiring exposure to a Scranton Reality Anchor or other device designed to maintain Hume levels are to undergo a standardized Hume Reading test to determine if the subject is affected by SCP-XXXX. If subject is found to be XXXX positive, they are to be reassigned.
EDIT: Following the discoveries outlined in Addendum XXXX-2, All currently employed personnel are to be screened for SCP-XXXX. Until all Foundation personnel are screened for SCP-XXXX appropriately, personnel are to be aware of any abnormal behavior of other personnel in the presence of a Hume-altering anomaly. No affected personnel are to be assigned to any major projects, including directing the screening process for SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a rare phenomenon affecting an estimated 5% of the global population, in which the affected subjects possess a significantly lower natural Hume level than baseline reality. This results in the subject's inability to produce unpredictable behavior, as their actions tend to follow simple patterns9. Additionally, subjects are generally easily manipulated by other people. Personality tests indicate that the subjects universally conform to a "stereotypical" form, which can be radically altered through the use of mind-altering drugs and brainwashing methods.
It was eventually discovered that, when exposed to a Scranton Reality Anchor (SRA) or any other form of Hume-normalizing device or anomaly, the subject will temporarily experience a complete personality alteration. These "alternate personalities" typically emerge in a highly distressed state, and have been known to go into shock shortly after emerging. These alternate personalities will recede as soon as the subject is removed from the range of the device. Repeated exposure tends to result in some temporary cognitive deterioration, and may induce a personality change.
SCP-XXXX instances exhibit additional negative reactions to artificially stabilized Hume levels, in the form of a severe nosebleed (apparently caused by inflammation), migraines, and eventually a permanent impact on cognitive abilities. See Long-Term Study Log XXXX for further details.
An experiment was performed to determine any changes in brainwave activity during SRA exposure. A subject was connected to an EEG device, then the SRA was engaged. Apart from a minor fluctuation, no apparent change was observed. It is likely that these alternate personalities form the actual consciousness of the subject, rather than an effect of the SRA exposure; that is to say, subjects are aware of their surroundings yet unable to control their bodies, as it is manipulated by local reality.
Interviewed: An instance of SCP-XXXX with personality type Delta-03, registered as XXXX-00126. Subject is age 19.
Interviewer: Dr. L███
Foreword: Reality Anchor will be engaged, enabling conversation with the alternate personality. Subject was partially briefed on the nature of the interview, told that the SRA is a device designed to induce hypnosis using "subliminal sound signals".

Dr. L███: Hello, XXXX-00126. How are you feeling?
XXXX-00126: Well, I'm doing just fine, dear!
Dr. L███: So, I understand that you were informed of the interview I will be performing?
XXXX-00126: Ah, yep!
Scranton Reality Anchor is engaged. Subject visibly shivers.
XXXX-00126: (Distressed) What the fuck, oh god…
Dr. L███: Are you alright?

Scranton Reality Anchor Disengaged. Subject falls unconscious.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Subject XXXX-00126 was given Class-B amnestics and returned to their residence.
Given the estimated number of individuals with SCP-XXXX, and based on the recruitment process for further personnel, at least 3% of personnel is estimated to be affected; however, based on screening results, the number appeared to be significantly lower, at only 0.5%. Later, it was found that numerous misdiagnosed Foundation personnel were assigned to projects in environments with actively and passively abnormal Hume levels, leading to higher-than-average incident rates. A thorough analysis of the issue revealed that several personnel involved in the screening process were SCP-XXXX positive and were actively sabotaging the process. Personnel involved are currently under interrogation, and Keter redesignation is currently pending approval.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a series of snack brands with similar packaging and designs to those of other, large corporations. SCP-XXXX are all marked as being owned and produced by various front companies that have been connected to the Factory10
Subjects who purchase any number of SCP-XXXX, regardless of whether any has been consumed, are affected by a form of targeted advertising. Upon any visit to any store that sells food items, additional SCP-XXXX will be located in the corresponding place of similar snack items. Eventually, SCP-XXXX will begin to manifest at the stores the subject typically visits, regardless of whether or not the subject is actually there. Instances that manifest in this manner will gradually alter their box art in a manner "personalized" to the subject11.
The effect is, notably, not permanent, as a subject can ignore the new instances and eventually lead to the cessation of the additional manifestations. However, given the mildly addictive qualities, low price, and commonality of the product at the more advanced stages, subjects of lower income are unlikely to willingly cease purchasing.
Transcript XXXX-1: Printed on the inside of each instance of SCP-XXXX is a Terms of Service statement, which has been partially transcribed below.
By purchasing this product, you have agreed that the Factory has the right to monitor future transactions to better personalize your shopping experience.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation webcrawlers are set to identify and flag any triggers for SCP-XXXX online, which will be promptly eliminated. Affected texts found prior to publishing are to be modified to remove triggers, and those released before they can be modified are to be recalled. Any exposed civilians are to be administered Class-B amnestics.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a series of textual cognitohazards that can be interspersed throughout a text to induce visual and auditory hallucinations on the reading subject, so long as the text matches the requirements for it. These hallucinations are reported to vary from person to person, and appear to be of the subject's own perception of the narrative through the perspective of the protagonist.
Despite these hallucinations, subjects are still capable of reading and navigating the text.
SCP-XXXX-A is the initial trigger for the cognitohazard to occur, and must be used as an introduction to the story and to the main protagonist. Additionally, subjects exposed to SCP-XXXX-A will be able to be affected by SCP-XXXX-B for the same story.
SCP-XXXX-B is a secondary trigger for the cognitohazard, only able to be triggered after a subject has already read up to that point. It is generally placed throughout the text at even intervals, such as the beginning of chapters. This allows for the subject to pause from reading without needing to start the text over again.
Requirements for a text to sustain compatibility with SCP-XXXX are as follows:
- Text must be told through a singular, first-person perspective.
- Text must be interesting and well-written.
- Text must be descriptive enough of the environment that a subject can accurately visualize it.
- Reading level must be at or below the reading level of the person reading the story; if the reader becomes confused by a passage and has to reread it, there is a high likelihood that the effect will be canceled.
Anything capable of breaking a reader's immersion into a story has a high likelihood of cancelling the effect, including:
- Excessive spelling or grammatical errors.
- Reader detecting a mistake in the plot, or learning something about the environment that they had not anticipated.
- The death of the main protagonist or the conclusion of the story.
- The reader is distracted by an outside source.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a High-Value Item Storage Locker. All tests are to be performed in a sealed, ectoproof chamber, with the produced instance of SCP-XXXX-A to be contained in an additional ectoproof Medium-Value Storage Vault. Usage of SCP-XXXX for the indefinite storage of uncontained ectomorphs is currently pending approval.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a mechanical device, measuring 30cm X 15cm X 20cm, constructed primarily of bronze and steel. On the back of the object are two holes, both designed for the insertion and rotation of a drive shaft. An aperture is located on the right side of the object, apparently designed for the easy connection of a pneumatic tube. No apparent labels or manufacturing information is present on the object.
When a shaft is inserted into the object and rotated a varying number of times12, the device will activate, producing a ticking noise for approximately 3 minutes before dispensing a small object from its aperture, which is designated SCP-XXXX-A.
SCP-XXXX-A are cylindrical objects composed primarily of aluminum and apparently designed to indefinitely contain ectomorphs. When an instance is produced by SCP-XXXX, it contains a singular ectomorph within an aluminum internal chamber. Rupturing this chamber will result in the forceful ejection of the ectomorph. How each instance of SCP-XXXX are capable of holding the ectomorph without using any understood ectoproof materials is not known, as a ruptured container does not appear to produce any output.

Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Any wildlife attempting to enter SCP-XXXX are to be tranquilized and relocated to the designated release site. A fence has been erected in a quarter-mile radius surrounding SCP-XXXX, which is to be inspected bi-monthly for signs of damage or vandalism. Negotiations with local militia concerning Foundation operations within the area are currently being conducted; however, the use of force to ensure continued, safe containment of SCP-XXXX is prepared as a last resort.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a region located approximately two (2) kilometers south of Uoman, Venezuela. SCP-XXXX has an approximate 20 meter diameter, at the center of which is SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX possesses a cognitohazardous effect on wildlife, typically drawing them toward SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a large pile of heavily lacerated and dismembered animal carcasses, approaching 5 meters in height and estimated to weigh approximately 4 tons. Testing indicates that, despite the destruction of most bodily organs, any creatures making direct contact with SCP-XXXX-1 remain animate and conscious, even after complete destruction of the brain.
Wildlife making contact with SCP-XXXX-1 experience sudden surges in adrenaline, and become extremely hostile to other wildlife. At this point the creature is to be considered a component of SCP-XXXX-1. Attempts to remove any significantly damaged entities will result in the creature's immediate expiration.
All affected creatures appear to be fixated on reaching the top of SCP-XXXX-1, largely ignoring the attacks of the other creatures within SCP-XXXX-1. Should a singular entity stand at the top of SCP-XXXX-1, they will begin to experience massive surge of ecstacy. Only one creature appears to be capable of experiencing this effect at a time, and they are often actively targeted by every other creature.
Addendum XXXX-1: SCP-XXXX was initially discovered with a campsite established near its perimeter, where a reporter was evidently researching the phenomenon. In the tent was a set of camera equipment and a portable generator, along with other camping gear. A journal was recovered from within the area of SCP-XXXX. Significant water damage has damaged large parts of the journal, though a transcript of relevant, legible text is found in Log XXXX-1.
Heaven calls, and it seeks an angel.
Investigation into the potential effects of long-term exposure to SCP-XXXX on human beings is ongoing.

Special Containment Procedures: Any websites found to display properties similar to SCP-XXXX are to be acquired
SCP-XXXX has been moved to a secure Foundation server, only accessible via ethernet connection to the Site-77 servers. Apart from routine maintenance, no additional procedures are required.
Any personnel from Site-77 may qualify for clearance to access SCP-XXXX, so long as they record their results and submit all altered images to Archive XXXX-2. Edits are to be performed by a modified copy of Adobe Photoshop, which will be supplied to personnel alongside SCP-XXXX access. Personnel found to upload photographs of real locations are to be administered Class-A amnestics and have their SCP-XXXX access permanently revoked.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an online webcomic titled "Jade and Spade: The Dungeon Crawlers", under the web domain "www.jadeandspade.com". Across the top of the page includes links to a store (leading to a 404 error), an archive of all baseline pages (Which has been converted to also hold all modified images), and a "Journal", containing sketches and work-in-progress images of numerous important scenes from the story.
SCP-XXXX largely follows the standard format for webcomics, including navigation buttons along the bottom of the panel; however, the page possesses an additional three buttons directly above the panel, labeled "Download", "Upload", and "Revert". Selecting the first option will download a .png copy of the current panel; files follow a naming pattern of "jands" followed by the chronological page number, i.e. jands0001 for the first panel. The Upload button enables the user to upload an image from their computer onto the page, overriding the current panel. The final button reverts the panel to its baseline state. Before transfer to the on-site server, a notification would appear on-screen for new computers stating that SCP-XXXX would use cookies to remember edits made on the computer's instance of the comic.
SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B are the designations given to the two main protagonists of the comic, identified as Jade and Spade, respectively. SCP-XXXX-A appears to wear a pink dress, and is implied to be the princess of a powerful kingdom. SCP-XXXX-B is a prisoner of war who was sent to the dungeon some days prior to the attack, and is dressed in simple leather armor supposedly obtained from a corpse.
SCP-XXXX-A is trapped in an unnamed dungeon by enemies to the kingdom of Graenis, simply referred to as "The Evildoers". While initially uncooperative, a series of fast-paced life-threatening battles and events occurring in Chapter 3 results in the two becoming more cooperative. Subjects traverse the dungeon in an attempt to find some way of escaping, eventually coming across an ancient device guarded by a large golem, which they work together to slay. Subjects teleport out of the dungeon as it begins to collapse, leading to an Epilogue page describing the aftermath of the event. A total transcript can be accessed in Log XXXX-PLOT.
Any alterations made to the images, up to and including totally replacing the shown image, will result in the instantaneous restructuring of the narrative in all future panels. The Epilogue page at the end of the comic will change to reflect the altered storyline.
SCP-XXXX-A and -B appear to be the only entities that possess set personalities that cannot be altered by the users. Personalities will act as a continuation of their last unaltered panel. While their actions and dialogue can be "controlled" by modifying their positions, expressions and dialogue, though they will describe this as being placed in a trance. Their actions can be "controlled" for long periods of time, which can lead to a psychological breakdown once they are released.
The characters can be totally re-drawn, resulting in the artistic style and physical characteristics of the character remaining altered throughout the rest of the story. While they do typically survive this transformation, it typically makes the characters feel extremely uncomfortable, often expressing signs of body dismorphia or depersonalization.
Test Log XXXX-BASELINE
Panel: Chapter 1, Panel 1
Context: SCP-XXXX-A being dragged towards entrance to labyrinth by two "Evildoers".
Procedure: "Evildoers" edited out of the picture, preventing SCP-XXXX-A from entering labyrinth.
Results: SCP-XXXX-A expresses confusion as they begin walking off-scene. Comic ends, stating that SCP-XXXX-B dies alone within the labyrinth. No other characters are mentioned.
Conclusion: It seems the entire story of SCP-XXXX can be avoided.
Panel: Chapter 2, Panel 4
Context: First introduction to SCP-XXXX-B
Procedure: SCP-XXXX-B removed.
Results: SCP-XXXX-A continues forward. Subject takes an alternate route, quickly leading to disorientation. Subject encounters an unidentified large creature and is killed off-scene. Comic ends, stating that SCP-XXXX-A and -B were both killed.
Conclusion: SCP-XXXX can be forced to end if both protagonists are killed off.
A series of "alternate timelines" have been created by personnel, wherein certain events are altered over the course of numerous panels to induce a significant change in the narrative.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid-Green ●
Special Containment Procedure: Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX's properties, containment is strictly limited to preventing SCP-XXXX from gaining knowledge of its properties. SCP-XXXX has been informed that, due to the confidential nature of its job, it must remain at the site. 's coworkers are to be unaware of its anomalous properties. The only subject on-site who is aware of SCP-XXXX's properties is the Site Supervisor. Despite their standing, SCP-XXXX is not to come into contact with any form of anomalous object.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a semi-stable null-conceptual entity currently under the belief that it is Junior Researcher Isaac Hobbes. SCP-XXXX's personality, memories, skill set and physical characteristics change depending on any form of structural system it becomes aware it is a part of. From there, the object does not need any real information concerning what other objects within said system are, so long as they exist.
Memories tend to follow a correct general timeline of events, though more personal encounters tend to vary in accuracy. SCP-XXXX does not retain memories from past iterations of itself
Addendum XXXX-01: Prior to current containment procedures, SCP-XXXX was aware of their status as an anomalous object. SCP-XXXX was noted to steadily increase in Hume readings, as well as mutations in their physical body. Eventually it was decided to attempt to incorporate SCP-XXXX into the Site's workforce. The entity was informed of its status as a Junior Researcher, and it proceeded to restructure itself accordingly. Object is now totally unaware of its anomalous properties.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: 14 instances of SCP-XXXX are contained in Biological Research Site-104. All instances outside of containment are to be destroyed. The number of instances in containment is to never exceed 30. Following Incident-XXXX-01, SCP-XXXX is not to be tampered with while active.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an unidentified species of fern, identifiable by a thick (average 3 cm diameter at maturity) central stalk. Numerous bulbous appendages protrude from the top, drooping to the ground. These bulbs open on the plant's maturity, opening into six segments. each segment possesses a thick coating of a substance superficially resembling nectar, though found to contain a potent sedative and preservative. Insects trapped within the nectar are rendered immediately unconscious. Once a bulb reaches an unknown threshold, the bulb will close, reopening anywhere from 1 week to 3 months later.
SCP-XXXX's central stalk contains an extremely advanced neurological system, which is observed to grow more complex as the instance matures. This system appears to be completely dormant until at least one of the bulbs are occupied and closed.
Incident SCP-XXXX-01: Central stalk of a currently active instance of SCP-XXXX was dissected in an attempt to determine any physical changes in the systems while the object is active. Due to an accident mid-operation, Dr. █████ was electrocuted by the object. While he made a full recovery from the shock, he later reported feeling the sensation of something "crawling around" in his head.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All items collectively designated SCP-XXXX are stored in Section 13-B at Storage Site-68
Description: SCP-XXXX is the collective designation for all electronic devices previously owned by the School of Independent Thought, located in Muniz, Texas prior to coverup procedures.
Investigation of all electrical systems and computer hardware reveals that all electrical components are composed entirely of various arts and crafts. The vast majority of materials used consist of yarn, paper and glue. Despite this, all devices are still capable of operating in an identical manner as their non-anomalous counterparts. Extensive testing has determined that no heat is produced by the hardware, nor is any electrical input required15. Components remain the physical properties of their materials, including flammability, and all appear to be hand-made.
Circuit boards are composed of a thin papier-mâché utilizing multiple layers of green wax paper, with pieces of string or yarn glued across the surface. Small cardboard squares replace microprocessors, CPUs, and various semiconductors.
A sticker is located on the bottom-left corner of each circuit, simply reading "Think of the Kids!".
- 136 134 TI-84 calculators.16
- Over 120 meters of electrical cables consisting of varying numbers of braided pipe cleaners insulated by standard rubber cable jackets. Resulting cable was passably similar in appearance and flexibility to that of non-anomalous cables.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered following an incident in which, during a conflict, a computer monitor was knocked to the floor. This resulted in the exposure of the anomalous hardware.
During later investigations, it was found that approximately 4% of students were at least partially aware of the true nature of SCP-XXXX, and that SCP-XXXX was present within the school for at least 2 months before the Foundation was notified.
Following the confiscation of the vast majority of SCP-XXXX from the area and the extraction of anomalous electrical infrastructure, an attempt was made to replace all confiscated electronics. Some amount of SCP-XXXX is hypothesized to have remained connected to the system, however, as the structure burned down soon after due to an electrical fire.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Activity associated with SCP-XXXX is to be closely monitored. Any collected SCP-XXXX particles are to be contained within a series of small, sealed containers, with no more than 1 kilogram per container. These containers are to be regularly checked for any breaches in their seals.
All rooms in Unit 12 are connected to a ventilation system independent of the primary system, and can be vacuum-sealed from the rest of the area in the event of a containment breach. Air currents within the containment chamber are constantly monitored for any signs of significant deviation from standard patterns, and vents are equipped with fine mesh filters, to be checked bi-monthly for any loose instances of SCP-XXXX. In the event of a containment breach, ventilation is to be sealed and vents checked immediately.
Efforts to track down and contain further instances of SCP-XXXX have been suspended indefinitely, due to both its difficulty to secure and the minuscule quantities actually acquired. Efforts have been largely redirected towards identifying existing evidence of uncontained SCP-XXXX and disinformation in the event of notable activity.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an unknown quantity of ash and soot17 apparently scattered in numerous loose colonies throughout southern France. SCP-XXXX possess a form of collective sentience, as well as the ability to control and manipulate air currents. While individual particles are only barely capable of moving through normal atmospheric pressure with zero opposing currents, multiple particles in extremely close proximity18 are capable of slightly increasing overall control of air currents.
The sapience of SCP-XXXX appears to possess limitations to its abilities, having to reside within a "dominant" colony of SCP-XXXX. The act of controlling SCP-XXXX appears to be delayed by the overall distance from the dominant colony, with the intelligence having complete and instantaneous control of the dominant colony. The length
Discovery: While SCP-XXXX is hypothesized to have existed as early as the late 1780s, its existence was entirely unknown until 1886, after the possibility of anomalous activity may have been responsible for many reports of high winds in particularly crime-heavy areas of southern France. At the time, containment focused solely on suppressing public awareness and locating the source of the anomaly. After SCP-XXXX was discovered, following careful observation of a sample of airborne particles obtained during activity, a large-scale containment effort was established in an attempt to gather all of SCP-XXXX. This continued until April of 1895, when the project was shut down due to the inefficient manner of the project, and original disinformation procedures resumed.

Dr. Lode: What happened? Did you try to help her?
SCP-XXXX: COULDN'T MOVE. WATCHED. BAD PEOPLE LAUGH. PALACE COLLAPSED.
Dr. Lode: And… well, what was the last thing you remember of that day?
SCP-XXXX: ANGER. BLEW BAD PEOPLE. FIRE TOOK THEM TOO. FIRE TOOK ME.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: In the event a thunderstorm is predicted, all current Foundation equipment within SCP-XXXX is to be evacuated, with personnel to not come within 300 meters of the area until the day after the storm has passed. Personnel are not permitted to enter the area of SCP-XXXX, and all testing is to be performed utilizing specialized silent drones.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomaly affecting what was previously the suburban neighborhood of [REDACTED], Arizona. Audible sound within SCP-XXXX appears to have a destructive effect on physical objects, with degree of damage dependent on the volume of the sound. Damage is comparable to
Following the manifestation and discovery of SCP-XXXX, all residents were given instruction to evacuate. Of the survivors, over 80% suffered injuries to their eyes, ears, brain and other sensitive tissues.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are an unknown number of semi-corporeal entities inhabiting SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 appear to be humanoid entities. Actions performed by the entities do not appear to produce audible sound.
Incident Report XXXX-1: On 03/██/201█, a thunderstorm passed directly over SCP-XXXX. Due to the risk of thunder, personnel were advised to stand well clear of the area and observe the anomaly.
Thunder was audible twice, damaging several structures; lightning struck a taller building towards the northeast corner, resulting in the near-vaporization of the structure and the complete destruction of surrounding buildings.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Knowledge of SCP-XXXX and its properties is to be suppressed, with Foundation webcrawlers to automatically detect and redact any information related to the object. Any individuals who survived exposure to SCP-XXXX are to be given Class-B amnesiacs, and a cover story detailing unexpected alterations in predicted weather patterns is to be implemented.
Any individuals displaying advanced knowledge of SCP-XXXX are to be detained and interrogated to determine the origin of their knowledge. Afterwards, a targeted amnestic is to be administered to expunge knowledge of SCP-XXXX from the subject's memories, whom will then be reintegrated into society.
All staff assigned to the study of SCP-XXXX, including field agents deployed to identify and detain instances of SCP-XXXX-1, are to be genetically female.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a sea shanty19. The song appears to describe the voyage of an unidentified male attempting to sail to their homeland, ultimately concluding in the male drowning due to some unfortunate incident causing the ship to sink. The specific details and duration of the song appear to vary depending on the region the song was identified, and often change due to apparently non-anomalous memetic mutation.
SCP-XXXX, when sung by a male subject, does not appear to possess any noticeable anomalous properties. Due to the contents of the song implicating that the singer is male, SCP-XXXX has managed to circulate among male sailors for extended periods of time while remaining completely dormant, and has proven extremely difficult to track down.
A strong cognitohazardous effect will affect any subjects who listen to a live performance of SCP-XXXX being sung by a female subject (designated SCP-XXXX-1). Any male subjects affected by the hazard appear to lose the ability to focus or concentrate on anything aside from SCP-XXXX-1, leading to the affected individuals to be rendered totally unaware of any outside events. While subjects do not ignore pain, they do not appear to take any form of defensive measures against potentially harmful objects.
SCP-XXXX-1 also appears to be affected by SCP-XXXX, though they are rendered totally oblivious to external stimuli. After approximately 30 seconds of singing, subjects must be physically restrained to prevent them from continuing.
Should an undetermined number of male subjects be affected by SCP-XXXX-1 at once while in close proximity to a large body of water, notable disturbances in weather patterns will begin to form. This results in the rapid formation of strong storms, with the intensity of the storm appearing to directly correspond with the number of affected subjects and the emotional delivery of the song by SCP-XXXX-1, with an ultimate limit defined by the overall quantity of water in the area.
Incident XXXX-01: On ██/██, 197█, during a festival on the [REDACTED] harbor, a female subject identified as E████ H███ sang Iteration 12/4 of SCP-XXXX. Video recordings show several male subjects have been moved to tears by the song, and the song was broadcasted live across the entire harbor.
The resulting tsunami led to an estimated 85 civilian casualties and over $240,000 in damages. Video recordings of the event appeared to show SCP-XXXX-1 floating on the surface of a wave, 5 meters off the ground, for the second half of the song, concluding with the subject being "engulfed" in water and forced out into the sea. Subject is presumed neutralized.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Currently, over 345 instances of SCP-XXXX-A, 450 -B, and 152 -C are contained in three separate Medium-Value Storage Vaults. Under so circumstances are any instances of SCP-XXXX-Alpha to be assembled. Any instances of SCP-XXXX-Alpha found outside of containment are to be reported and disassembled immediately. In the event that disassembly is impossible or highly impractical, destruction is permissible.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a collection of three Anomalous Objects, previously designated as AO#00345, AO#00463 and AO#00680. Items are now designated as SCP-XXXX-A, -B and -C, respectively.
All components are individual mechanisms in a [CAMERA TYPE] camera, with seemingly unrelated anomalous properties. See Anomalous Object descriptions at the end of this document for further information.
When all three components are used to assemble a singular [CAMERA TYPE] camera (Identified as SCP-XXXX-Alpha), the total manifestation rate of anomalous properties in non-anomalous components increases exponentially.
Due to all instances of SCP-XXXX-Alpha possessing identical anomalous properties to Construct-S-00680/00463/00345, all testing involving SCP-XXXX-Alpha or the individual components is to be placed in the corresponding test log.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a medium-sized standard containment chamber, which is to be routinely checked for any signs of damage caused by SCP-XXXX-2. Following the events of Incident XXXX-01, no personnel are to make direct contact with SCP-XXXX at any point. Relocation is to be carried out via forklift or other heavy machinery. Should SCP-XXXX enter a transition state while it is in transport, all personnel are advised to evacuate the immediate vicinity. Personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX may be allowed to request amnestics following the conclusion of an active state.
Description: SCP-XXXX-1 appears visibly indistinguishable from a standard large, black trash bag, with the exception of the object lacking any form of opening. SCP-XXXX-1 appears to be highly resistant to damage, and has proven to be immune to all attempts to directly observe the internal contents via technological means. Consequentially, all observations as to the contents of SCP-XXXX-1 were made by physically manipulating the object. These contents have been designated SCP-XXXX-2.
With that being said, while in its passive state, SCP-XXXX-2 seems to be an unknown assortment of machinery in a heavily damaged state. Machinery has posed a resistance to damage, and no discernible purpose has been found. Numerous sharp edges, irregular bumps and individual components seems to indicate the object may have been destructible at some point, and was repeatedly hit by a blunt instrument. While in this state, excessive manipulation appears to cause SCP-XXXX-2 to convulse, as discovered during Incident XXXX-01.
After apparently random intervals of time, SCP-XXXX will enter a transition state, in which the object will suddenly inflate, gaining the physical properties of a large rubber ball (albeit with the same abnormalities as observed in a passive state). The length of time the object remains in this state appears to vary, with an average duration of 30-45 seconds, followed by the object entering an active state. The form of SCP-XXXX-2 in the transition state is unknown.
While in an active state, SCP-XXXX-2 will typically possess the form and properties of an adult humanoid, though numerous other forms have also been noted20. This entity is animate and typically behaves in a bewildered, alarmed manner, followed by signs of terror and eventually submission. The entity will eventually expire via suffocation, and the object will revert to its passive state.
SCP-XXXX was initially recovered in New Orleans, Louisiana, where it was reportedly observed attempting to crawl out of an alleyway in a panicked manner. Local Foundation agents were notified, and the object was contained with minimal civilian exposure.
Incident XXXX-01:
While handling SCP-XXXX, the object appeared to jerk unexpectedly, trapping Researcher ████'s hand, as well as causing their arm to suffer severe lacerations. Amputation was required, and the severed hand was unable to be retrieved until SCP-XXXX entered its transition state several hours later. Direct handling of SCP-XXXX is now forbidden.
Incident XXXX-02:
On 2/27/199█, SCP-XXXX entered an active state in which SCP-XXXX-A began to emit vocalizations consistent with Agent ███, and appeared to react to their name being spoken. Agent ███ was noted to have expired via asphyxiation three weeks prior during an unrelated incident. Further investigation is currently underway.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All current physical copies of SCP-XXXX are stored in Medium Value Containment Vault 34-B. Any additional instances found outside of containment are to be incinerated, and Foundation webcrawlers are currently set to identify and neutralize any digital instances.
All subjects found to have even a cursory knowledge of SCP-XXXX are to be given selective amnestics, including personnel required to perform maintenance on Foundation webcrawlers.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a textual infohazard claiming to be an autobiography about a French soldier during World War 2. Subject is named "Pierre C. Durand", with the story recounting their experiences in a battle supposedly taking place in [DATA EXPUNGED], Germany. If this battle is not fictional, all first-hand information and evidence has been lost.
All text regarding SCP-XXXX appears to be memetically unstable; should enough information be remembered about the object by enough individuals, a Sigma Event will occur. The larger the number of individuals aware of SCP-XXXX, the less information actually has to be known for a Sigma Event to occur. As a result, in-depth information is on a purely need-to-know basis.
A Sigma Event is characterised by the fast-acting expungement of all memories of and related to SCP-XXXX, as well as a powerful antimemetic effect obscuring any existing information concerning SCP-XXXX, up to and including transcripts or copies of the text itself. This sudden loss has resulted in permanent memory loss and the development of memory-related disabilities.
Sigma Events are temporary, as the antimeme gradually decays over a 5-year timespan.
Further information reserved for Clearance XXXX-4 and higher.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Provisional Site-48 has been constructed with the purpose of researching the nature of SCP-XXXX. Minimal security is required, due to the self-concealing nature of the object in its natural state. Site-48 possesses two Scranton Reality Anchors, designed to enable entry into SCP-XXXX in a controlled, predictable manner.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a region located in [REDACTED], Ohio with a 2 kilometer radius. The perimeter of SCP-XXXX appears to instantaneously transport all matter and energy attempting to enter from one side out of the other, including light. As a result, the entire area within SCP-XXXX is virtually undetectable, and leaves no apparent spatial inconsistencies in the surrounding area.
The usage of a Scranton-Reality Anchor is capable of disrupting the perimeter of SCP-XXXX, opening a "hole" to the interior space.
Within SCP-XXXX appears to be an abandoned farmhouse in severe disrepair, with heavy termite infestation. Expeditions into the structure have revealed the bodies of a female in her late 20s, and an infant, both in an advanced state of decay, as well as a diary believed to belong to the woman [See Documents XXXX-01-0X]. A third body was discovered buried in a shallow grave, located in the center of the two-mile radius of the spatial anomaly. This body appears to be of a male around 30 years old, and is notable for having [DATA EXPUNGED].
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was first discovered in 198█, during the construction of a Dimensional Humanoid containment Area designed to be capable of holding numerous . During construction, a Scranton-Reality Anchor was engaged for a test run, temporarily disrupting SCP-XXXX. The Site was effectively torn in half, resulting in a huge loss of time and resources, and resulted in one known fatality as a researcher was [DATA EXPUNGED] by the rift. Further testing confirmed that the spatial phenomenon was the result of a non-temporary spatial anomaly, and SCP status was assigned. The Site had since been restructured with this spatial shift taken into consideration, and has been reassigned as Provisional Site-48.
Documents XXXX-01 to -0X: The following documents are excerpts from the diary recovered from the house within SCP-XXXX. Nonessential material has been Spelling and major grammatical errors have been corrected for the sake of clarity. For the unaltered files, see Archived Files XXXX-01 to -0X
Document XXXX-01:
10/5/1945:
Earnest came back yesterday! He was dropped off by some military people. Friends, he called 'em.
10/7/1945:
Earn's been acting… strange. He's been real shaky, and sometimes he starts to eyeball anything that moves.
10/8/1945:
He told me he's been having nightmares. Said it had to do with the war, but he wouldn't tell me anything else.
11/5/1945:
He's dead. He died last night. Oh god, he woke up screaming and hollering, going on about the war. Then he just fell back on the bed, eyes open.
He had a heart attack.
I swear I felt something when he died. It wasn't heartbreak, not just that. It was something else, like a pressure. In my head? I think it started there, and then it went down my body. I felt like I was being choked to death. Then it was gone as fast as it had come.
I keep hearing a buzzing in my head. It's like a wasp crawled up into my brain.
I can't leave. I started driving down the road, but I came right back around to the house. It's like the world just got smaller. When did this happen? Why?
Lind is sick. She's sick and I can't get her medicine and I don't know what to do and we can't LEAVE WHAT DO I DO?
Lind passed.
SCP-XXXX-Alpha is an exceedingly complex spatial anomaly simulating the appearance of a human brain, formerly located in the skull of the male corpse found within SCP-XXXX. Subject is presumed to have previously been an unregistered Reality Bender. By using carefully controlled electrical stimulation, SCP-XXXX-Alpha is capable of producing controlled, stable spatial phenomena, as well as reversing said phenomena, over a relatively short period of time.
SCP-XXXX-Alpha, as well as all researchers involved in experimentation, have been relocated to Site Omega for further research. All other personnel aware of SCP-XXXX-Alpha were given Class-B amnesiacs and returned to Site-48.
Subjects have reported difficulty breathing and a tightness of the diaphragm when exposed to a sufficiently potent spatial manipulation; personnel are to be informed of this effect before testing.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-A and -B are contained together in a standard item storage locker. All active instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be stored in a separate locker, and a red mark is to be placed on any decommissioned SCP-XXXX-1 instances. SCP-XXXX-B is only to be connected to SCP-XXXX-A during testing, in order to minimize the possibility of accidental photography.
Description: SCP-XXXX-A is an Argus Autronic 35 camera, produced by Argus in 1960. SCP-XXXX-B is a detachable camera flash, designed to attach to SCP-XXXX-A. It is unknown if SCP-XXXX-B was originally manufactured alongside SCP-XXXX-A or if it was used to replace a previous flash device. Neither device demonstrates any anomalous properties while separated. When the completed camera (designated simply SCP-XXXX) is used to take a photograph (SCP-XXXX-1), there appears to be an exact 50% chance the camera's flash will actually engage; the mechanism behind this is unknown.
When the device is used to take a picture of a subject, they will be immediately afflicted with a permanent tangential perception of reality, with the branching moment characterized by their perception of the opposite "flash event" occurring (i.e, if the flash fails to activate, the subject will perceive the flash to have activated, and vice versa), regardless of whether or not they were even aware of the outcome. This relatively minor deviation will ultimately result in the subject, now designated SCP-XXXX-2, experiencing an entirely different perception of reality than is actually occurring. This alteration is indirectly lethal, as the subject may eventually perceive themselves as being in a totally different situation. Primary causes of death include dehydration and collision, typically via falling, running into a solid barrier, or walking into traffic.
Following the experiments demonstrated in the following test logs, it was found that live SCP-XXXX-2 instances also obtain gradually worsening antimemetic properties, leading to near-permanent expungement of knowledge of SCP-XXXX-2 within the span of 3 months. It was noted that viewing SCP-XXXX-1 appears to provide temporary memetic inoculation from the antimeme demonstrated by the individual portrayed in the image. Due to the possibility of additional, unknown instances of SCP-XXXX-2 existing, object class has been upgraded to Euclid.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a process of cognitohazard exposure in which the subjects undergoing the process effectively reprogram portions of their subconscious minds to carry out actions without needing to consciously perform them. While records for constructing cognitohazards and performing the procedure have been passed down to the Foundation from its predecessors, the process has become far better understood given recent advances in electronic and memetic research and development. Initially, the process enabled only basic arithmetic operations.

Special Containment Procedures: A complete copy of the original SCP-XXXX agent is contained in a sealed envelope in secure item storage locker 03-B, alongside its destruction trigger. Access to SCP-XXXX is restricted to level 3+ personnel with permission from the current Site Director.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an extremely viral conceptual parasite originally created and spread over the course of 3 years by A███ M████, a parapsychologist with strong affiliations with the Associates of Apotheosis GoI.
SCP-XXXX propagates itself by inhabiting a variety of common symbols, items, and concepts, effectively using these items as "carriers". Subjects who become visually aware of an object that has been infected will be infected in turn, and can then infect other objects they become aware of. The mechanism enabling an object- already possessing a developed, non-anomalous concept- to become a carrier is unknown.
SCP-XXXX was designed to be highly modular, capable of being altered by cognitohazards possessing a sort of "encryption". Encrypting a cognitohazard notably does not negate or alter its effects.
A series of images have been recovered from the home of A███ M████ which, when viewed, is capable of manifesting the original, effect in the exposed individual. Encrypted cognitohazards can then be introduced to the subject to incorporate the effect into the subject.
Notes obtained alongside images have provided the Foundation with detailed enough information to understand the means by which the process works, including the memetic encryption required to reprogram SCP-XXXX. Using this, a self-destructing meme was incorporated into the network and spread, dissolving the anomaly within the span of 4 weeks.
By the time SCP-XXXX was discovered, it had already infected over an estimated 36% of the world population.
Project GHOSTHAND:
Management and Clearance: SCP-XXXX is currently under the control of the SCPA Development and Management Team, a subdivision of the Memetics Division consisting of 26 personnel directly overseen by the current project director. Any attempts at producing a new update to SCP-XXXX is to be reviewed and accepted by a two-thirds majority vote from the O5 Council. Attempts to update SCP-XXXX without prior consent will be considered an act of hostile intent, and can be met with lethal force.
Project Overview: After studying notes gathered from A███ M████'s home, a means of manipulating SCP-XXXX had been discovered, enabling the Foundation to revert previous effects of the object. Soon after, a proposal to utilize SCP-XXXX as a means of applying blanket indoctrinations against various uncontainable memetic phenomena was passed by O5 command.
A prototype was released, designed to imprint false memories into any subjects aware of their status as Class-D personnel. The prototype was extremely successful, and Project Ghosthand was initiated in July 3rd, 2008. Project Ghosthand has been in effect since 2008. The system is identified as the Standardized Conceptual Parasite.
Numerous individuals outside of the Foundation are aware of Project Ghosthand, and have proven to possess knowledge of the mechanisms of the Standardized Conceptual Parasite.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained within a soundproof chamber fitted with motion sensors, alongside standard surveillance equipment. All observation is to be restricted to live video and audio feed from the containment area at all times, and no personnel are to enter the containment area at any point unless performing bi-annual cleaning procedure.
During the cleaning procedure, no less than two armed guards equipped with high-grade noise-cancelling headphones to nullify any effect SCP-XXXX may otherwise have. One Class-D personnel live primate is to be brought into the chamber, and forced within the reach of SCP-XXXX. Said procedure is considered a High-Priority task of utmost importance, and must be carried out regardless of the current state of the facility.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a totem of indeterminate age, approximately 80 centimeters tall and 15 centimeters wide. SCP-XXXX is composed of SCP-XXXX depicts an unknown entity; however, based on information obtained from Recovered Document XXXX-01, it is hypothesized that it represents a cultic interpretation of the Mayan goddess Ixtab21.
SCP-XXXX will periodically enter an active state, estimated at around twice weekly at random intervals. During an active state, four long, durable "limbs" composed of hardened wood will unfold from the sides of the object, with long blades composed of an undetermined metal fastened to the tips. Limbs are triple-jointed, allowing for controlled movement and giving SCP-XXXX a maximum reach of 1.25 meters in any direction.
SCP-XXXX will utilize these blades to produce sounds consistent with those produced by a waterphone, forming a simple, droning melody lasting varying lengths of time. Direct exposure to audio produced by SCP-XXXX will immediately induce a calming sensation within subjects, though subjects will display increasingly psychopathic tendencies as time goes on. In late stages, subjects begin to manipulate others they know to possess clinical depression and manipulate them into considering suicide. Amnesiacs appear to be effective in preventing the onset of these conditions, though subjects appear to possess a permanent, deep discomfort with sounds resembling those produced by waterphones, nail violins or similar instruments.
SCP-XXXX will attempt to undergo a bi-annual cleaning ritual (specific dates being March 20 and September 22) in which the object will decapitate any human being large primate within 1.25 meters of it. It will then proceed to eviscerate the torso, extracting the heart and [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-XXXX will then proceed to soak its blades with the victim's blood before entering a shortened active state22. The object will then reenter its passive state; the entire process takes approximately 45-50 minutes to complete.
After the failure of the 3/20/1986 ritual, it was discovered that should SCP-XXXX fail to undergo the ritual within ~2 days of the spring or fall equinox, SCP-XXXX will enter an altered form of its normal active state, in which sounds produced are far more erratic and shrill, with signs of advanced corrosion quickly forming on the blades. The object will remain active until the cleaning ritual is performed appropriately. During this state, any recorded audio obtained from SCP-XXXX will immediately manifest the same cognitohazardous properties as the object itself until the cleaning ritual is performed.
Document XXXX-01: Document XXXX-01 was recovered alongside SCP-XXXX. An incomplete translation is available below.
Addendum XXXX-01: It has been found that, while the object is in its erratic state, audio recordings of SCP-XXXX will exhibit the object's properties. Until this effect becomes available, memetic-targeting software is unable to detect affected articles.
Researcher's Note: All recorded audio from SCP-XXXX has the trigger; if the thing doesn't get its blood sacrifice, it'll affect all audio that came from it, even if it's just background noise. Hell, even if the audio is so heavily edited that the sounds aren't even identifiable, it'll still have the trigger. All I know is that if this thing doesn't get a fresh kill, crime rates go up, and cognitohazards associated with SCP-XXXX are suddenly detected by automated systems. I think that some audio from this thing was leaked somehow, and it managed to bypass the systems because the triggers aren't cognitohazards when XXXX isn't active.
So now we have two options; we could go without the cleaning ritual for a while and wait for the systems to find and replace all affected audio, invoking possible mass panic and heavy loss of life, or we just keep up the ritual as the audio slowly seeps its way further and further into our culture. We deal with it now, or we keep putting it off and let it become a way bigger problem to deal with later.

Special Containment Procedures: Documents made prior to [XXXX] affected by SCP-XXXX are to be confiscated and replaced with an identical substitute. Currently over 240 effective replacement documents have been created and are on indefinite standby in the event that it should need to be used.
The location of SCP-XXXX-Alpha is to be considered the primary goal of research teams assigned to SCP-XXXX, should the area actually be found to still exist. Preferably this area will be located and secured prior to the estimated date of emersion (07/09/202█). Should the area fail to be secured within the allocated time, mass amnestic dispersal over the affected region, which is to be evacuated and quarantined until further containment procedures can be established.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous phenomenon observed in the apparent insertion of information within documentation prior to [XXXX]. Inserted information appears to imply the presence of an otherwise undocumented battle between Allied and German forces, beginning [XXXX] and without any evidence of a conclusion.
Information has been increasingly manifesting, originally only offhandedly/indirectly referencing the battle; over time, references became increasingly direct and descriptive.
It was eventually discovered that the information presented appeared to have already been present on the affected documents, albeit with antimemetic properties. It was eventually concluded that the battle itself was afflicted with a form of decaying antimemetic effect at some point, resulting in the gradual reveal of information.
To date, no information has been recovered which implies that the battle had reached a conclusion, nor has the exact location of the supposed conflict been found. It is theorized that, should SCP-XXXX-Alpha exist, it is likely obscured due to the aforementioned cognitohazard.

Special Containment Procedures: As the properties of SCP-XXXX are retained in all copies, three copies of each are held in flash drives in Site-15. with three additional backup copies for each instance to be kept in the on-site database.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the collective designation for ██ images consisting entirely of photographs of various individuals. No individuals thus far have any anomalous background, with exception of junior researcher J████'s identification picture, which has since been replaced. All images appear to have manifested these properties at approximately the same time.
Instances of SCP-XXXX appear to possess infinite resolution; images can be magnified seemingly without bound, with no loss of quality. Individual skin cells have been observed, and it is theorized to be possible to view subatomic particles in detail.
It was found that with sufficient magnification, additional images have been found within several instances of SCP-XXXX. These images all appear to possess some degree of correlation with the individual portrayed in the instance.

Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation webcrawlers have been set to detect the presence of SCP-XXXX online, and any instances of SCP-XXXX outside of containment are to be neutralized.
A permanent research area has been constructed to monitor SCP-XXXX-Alpha, with the intent of decoding SCP-XXXX-Beta, and efforts to determine the nature of all atypical functions present within the structure has been determined to be a high priority.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a multi-step algebraic equation using basic mathematical principles to equal 17.65. SCP-XXXX produces a cognitohazardous effect on individuals concentrating on the object, causing the subject to gain a strong urge to add onto the equation, producing additional steps to complete.
Notably, regardless of the number of steps added or their apparent randomness, all added steps will inevitably possess an inverse operation, typically unknowingly added by the same subject, which results in the solution to the SCP-XXXX instance to constantly remain at 17.65. In the event the subject is prevented from forming an additive inverse to their own addition, the next subject to add to the equation will inadvertently construct the inverse.
The complexity of a particular step appears to be only partially limited by the mathematical knowledge of the affected subject; the longer a subject is exposed to an instance of SCP-XXXX, the more abstract or complex the step may be.
SCP-XXXX-Alpha is a defunct school building, located in [REDACTED], Iowa. The structure had been overtaken by a group of 14 homeless civilians within the past 3 years, whom have been noted to possess an extreme proficiency in advanced mathematical concepts. The structure is non-anomalous, with the exception of a mathematics classroom on the second floor.
The room has been largely overtaken with writing and formulas, all of which appear to connect in some way to an instance of SCP-XXXX written on a large blackboard at the front end of the room. Text is typically written using chalk, markers and crayon, though in some places it has been observed to be directly scratched into the wall. The entire collection is effectively a singular, massive instance of SCP-XXXX, and has been designated SCP-XXXX-Beta.
The complexity of the functions composing SCP-XXXX-Beta appears to increase as they approach the back wall, eventually reaching a point where unidentified symbols and nonexistent expressions are used.23 All poorly understood principles demonstrated by SCP-XXXX-Beta have been collectively designated SCP-XXXX-Gamma-X, with an abridged list below.
Gamma-1: Seems to be an extremely horizontally compact means of long division, being only two characters wide. The method by which this is performed is unknown; inverse operation found to be standard, non-altered multiplication.
Gamma-2: A multitude of pages torn from math textbooks have been nailed to the walls, with certain equations, sections of text, and illustrations having been circled and connected to each other with lines drawn in marker and pen. Purpose unknown.
Gamma-3: The capital psi (Ψ) symbol; each of the "prongs" of the symbol appears to produce an independent "tangent"; each of the three versions appear to be relatively similar to each other, with each system producing an equal result when compared in isolation of the rest of XXXX-Beta. All three tangents eventually recombine, typically through some basic equation, to resume the linear progression of SCP-XXXX-Beta. Several times the function has been used within an already present Gamma-3, resulting in the exponential increase in complexity.
Gamma-4: The capital delta (Δ) symbol, with the symbol for an imaginary number (i) in the center, with one number on exterior of each side of the symbol. No exact purpose for this symbol has been found.
Gamma-5: Believed to be the inverse of XXXX-Gamma-4, due to similarities. Represented by an omega (Ω) containing an imaginary number in its center. each of the "wings" of the symbol have a number located directly underneath. These numbers were later found to correspond with the exact coordinated of SCP-XXXX-Alpha, and have been censored.
Gamma-6: A series of illustrations, appearing as a simple stick figure. The "head" of each instance appears to possess a simple function, consisting of a number multiplied by a variable. The "arms" appear to stretch across the room, carefully avoiding the rest of the equation, until eventually reaching, and circling, a singular number. The purpose and inverse of these figures is currently unknown, though it is theorized that all 14 instances may act as an effective inverse to each other.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Any evidence of SCP-XXXX activity is to be immediately reported, and all equipment associated with SCP-XXXX is to be confiscated. Damage to local spacetime is to be assessed, and should the extent of damage be enough to have apparent effects on local causality, spatial restoration via Procedure Spiral-28 is to be conducted. Attempts to stop the usage of SCP-XXXX are to be continued indefinitely, as are attempts to locate and apprehend any members of "Deep Standard Oil". Any additional information regarding "Deep Standard Oil" is to be reported immediately.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a collection of unbranded heavy machinery apparently designed to utilize hydraulic fracturing techniques using four-dimensional space and temporal anomalies for extraction of natural gases and oil in areas previously "sucked dry" of said resources. All obtained instances of SCP-XXXX has consisted solely of X different machines, each designated SCP-XXXX-1 through -X. So far, only 56 instances have been recovered in working condition, and the exact mechanisms behind their operation are still largely unknown. SCP-XXXX, while never having been observed in full operation, have been determined to be a major cause of localized reality and spatial anomalies, occasionally even resulting in a total collapse of euclidean space.
All areas containing instances of SCP-XXXX have been noted to be totally devoid of any lifeforms, most likely due to the nature of SCP-XXXX-05. All recovered objects have been found to possess identifying markings of a company identifying as "Deep Standard Oil".
SCP-XXXX-1: A 2x3 meter device, standing at .5 meters tall, with what appears to be a miniature Penning trap attached to the top. The device appears capable of bending light surrounding itself within a configurable radius, with the maximum radius estimated at approximately 180 meters. Only two functioning instances have been recovered, with one currently being used alongside an SCP-XXXX-4 to disguise [REDACTED].
SCP-XXXX-2: Structure is physically and mechanically identical to a hydraulic fracturing tower, with the exception of an apparent five-dimensional component at the base through which fracking liquid is injected into a pre-constructed borehole, thereby enabling numerous separate four-dimensional boreholes coexisting in the same three-dimensional space. It has been noted that no devices capable of creating these boreholes have been found, and are presumed to be moved off-site before the fracturing process is initiated. Further testing with SCP-XXXX-2 discontinued due to dangers of long-term effects on local reality.
SCP-XXXX-3: A 4x4x4 meter cuboid with a large pipe attached to the side, typically connected to SCP-XXXX-2. Device appears to be designed to utilize [REDACTED] for some form of interdimensional transportation of resources, despite the inherent instability of such a system. All discovered instances have been rendered inoperable due to internal damages caused by destabilization of internal [REDACTED].
SCP-XXXX-4: A series of devices resembling speakers, connected via USB cable to a large device often fixed to the side of SCP-XXXX-1. While device is active, all vibrations and audible wavelengths within twenty meters of the speakers will be nullified by a counteracting wave produced by the objects. Attempts to interface with the devices through baseline technology have so far failed.
SCP-XXXX-5: A 4x3 meter box, featuring a simple interface attached to the front. Device is believed to be a form of bio-spatial restabilizer, capable of resynchronizing biological materials into its original timeline. Device also appears to possess a form of self-destruct mechanism designed to prevent the timeline from being identified; due to this mechanism, no functioning instances have been recovered. Believed to be used as an emergency evacuation device.
SCP-XXXX-6: Appears to be [REDACTED] often fixed to SCP-XXXX-2. Object is capable of utilizing [DATA EXPUNGED] to create numerous temporal anomalies within the five-dimensional object within SCP-XXXX-2, enabling the continuous extraction of fluid through the utilization of a semi-stable paradox. █ functioning instances have been located, and all are currently [DATA EXPUNGED].
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be placed in the center of a 2 meter2 chamber, the walls of which are to display monitors. These monitors are to be active at all times, and in the event of an electrical failure, props are to be used in their place to delay SCP-XXXX's effects; faulty monitors are to be replaced ASAP, to minimize the possibility of damage to containment area.
Monitors are are set to play one of seven randomized environment playlists, each of which are to contain one hour of a different setting; every week, the contents of all playlists are to be shuffled manually among the playlists in random order, with care being taken to make similar environments never within two hours of each other, and no settings are left in the same order at any point as in the previous week.
Monitors and speakers are to constantly depict settings that contradict current narrative setting played out by SCP-XXXX; constant surveillance is to be carried out in order to ensure proper functionality of automatic keyword-detection software. Should software fail, personnel are to manually act out the appropriate setting to counteract SCP-XXXX's narrative. Appropriate cardboard cutouts are to be provided when required.
Due to advances in virtual reality technology in recent years, experiments into the effectiveness of VR in containment procedures are being conducted.
Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a 46-year-old African-American male, appearing to possess electrical burns and scarring consistent with electric chair victims. SCP-XXXX ignores all attempts at direct communication, and will only do so if its current environment matches the environment portrayed by SCP-XXXX-01.
SCP-XXXX appears to be highly delusional, believing itself to be a protagonist in a continuously evolving and changing storyline, deemed SCP-XXXX-A. SCP-XXXX-A seeming to gradually alter itself based on what SCP-XXXX observes in its immediate surroundings; as a result, SCP-XXXX-A has very few constants aside from SCP-XXXX taking on the role as the main protagonist.
The current state of SCP-XXXX-A can be inferred through verbal keywords spoken by SCP-XXXX in its constant stream of dialogue. Dialogue appears to consist of self-narration, conversations with other entities24, fragmented descriptions of current setting
SCP-XXXX possesses massive subconscious reality-bending properties, as it gradually alters its surroundings to match SCP-XXXX-A. There is no apparent upper limit to this effect, and it is estimated that in the event of a total containment failure, exponential growth of the area of effect will result in a VK-class
It has been found that SCP-XXXX-A, and therefore the reality-altering effects of SCP-XXXX's properties, can be counteracted by placing it within a contradictory setting; a medieval setting can be counteracted by showing footage of a city, an underwater setting is counteracted with a desert (and vice versa), etc.
SCP-XXXX-01 Setting | Counteractive Setting | Audio Excerpt | Additional Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Captured by an oppressive military presence within the city of [DATA EXPUNGED] | A suburban town from street view, containing live footage of civilians. | [AUDIO] | This was the first time SCP-XXXX was transported to Site-██, and this change is believed to have come from its perception as a political prisoner. Numerous escape attempts are made before current containment chamber was fully online. |
A town in constant peril from various disasters. | [AUDIO] | One of the buildings from the live footage for the last counteracting setting had caught fire; this is believed to be what caused the new setting. Furthermore, during this time, SCP-XXXX believed they possessed superhuman abilities, despite inability to leave containment chamber. | |
[SETTING] | [COUNTERACTION] | [AUDIO] | [NOTES] |
[SETTING] | [COUNTERACTION] | [AUDIO] | [NOTES] |
A psychiatric hospital, wherein SCP-XXXX is a patient. SCP-XXXX is being interviewed by an unnamed psychiatrist. | [] | [See Audio Log XXXX-05] | This interview was allowed to reach a conclusion before counteractive measures were begun, as this would likely be the most information we would ever get out of this thing. |
Audio Transcript XXXX-05: On 6/3/1998, SCP-XXXX-A appeared to undergo an unexpected shift, inferred to be a psychiatric hospital, and SCP-XXXX seemed to be answering unknown questions in a manner typical of an interview. This is the most coherent SCP-XXXX has been thus far.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently stationed in Workshop E1, for usage by the Memetics Division for the study of infohazardous and metafictional anomalies [SEE INCIDENT XXXX-1].
Description: SCP-XXXX is a large drafting table, featuring a built-in filing cabinet for storing instances of SCP-XXXX-2 for future use. SCP-XXXX also possesses a large, articulated arm, measuring approximately 61 centimeters in length. Fixed to the end this arm is a metal letter opener, which appears to be the only truly anomalous component of the device25.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties manifest when the letter opener is used across the surface of any paper possessing written or illustrated information (identified as the "Host"). When this occurs, the paper will "open" along the seam, revealing the presence of numerous slips of paper, designated SCP-XXXX-2. These slips of paper typically possess words and phrases (often in the Arial font), though pictures have also been present26.
Information inscribed on instances of SCP-XXXX-2 appear to correlate to portions of the original information described by the Host (i.e, the statement "You will go" can be broken down to "You", "Move", "Future", and "Command"). Due to the exponential increase in SCP-XXXX-2 based on the complexity of SCP-XXXX-1, only simple sentences and infohazards are to be used until the nature of connected information can be more effectively predicted.
The following is an incomplete table defining several examples of SCP-XXXX-2 instances obtained from different texts.
Host Text | SCP-XXXX-2 | Additional Notes |
---|---|---|
You will go | "You", "Move", "Future", "Command to" | None |
We are doing | "We", "Action", "Present" | cell-content |
An abstract art piece | "Conceptual", "Opinion", "Undefined" | cell-content |
The entire English alphabet | "Many", "Symbol", "Language" | cell-content |
The Foundation logo | "Many", "Strange", "Present", "Hide", "Action", [DATA EXPUNGED], | Images appear to possess a notably larger amount of -2 instances, especially an image representing a larger body. |
cell-content | cell-content | cell-content |
It was found that the host text can be physically altered by adding or removing SCP-XXXX-2 instances from it. Little is understood about the process; however, it has been found that so long as no infohazards are used, the host will always be altered to match the combination appropriately.
Should SCP-XXXX be used on any form of infohazard, the resulting SCP-XXXX-2 instances will typically be a multitude of normal instances alongside a few "triggers", which are believed to be packets of infohazardous data. Instances possessing anomalous properties are marked by a red "banner" symbol on the top-left of the paper, and are designated SCP-XXXX-2A.
Should all of the instances forming a cognitohazard be conceptualized simultaneously by the same subject, with the awareness that they are relating to each other, the original cognitohazardous effect will manifest27 . The study of infohazards using this system has allowed for the modification of existing hazards, often to create more beneficial effects. An incomplete series of modifications have been attached. All memetic hazards, infohazards, and cognitohazards modified are now stored in their appropriate sectors, with a note across the top identifying them as having been modified by SCP-XXXX.
Original Host | SCP-XXXX-2 | Modifications | Results | Additional Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
A random collection of letters and numbers found to possess mild antimemetic properties. | "You", "Future", "Forget" (trigger), "Symbols" | "Forget" and "Future" were removed | Antimemetic nature ceased. Trigger stored for future use. Copies of the original Host still possess antimemetic properties, though subjects who already memorized the combination are immune. | First attempt at manipulating an infohazard, proving very promising for future use. |
A 12-step equation that causes subjects to fall asleep upon viewing. | "You", "Present", "Sleep" (trigger) | Transferring the trigger "Sleep" into a new host, simply reading "sleep" | Subjects reading the new Host are now affected by the original hazard, while the original Host now lacks the effect. This does not appear to extend to copies of the same equation. | This could possibly be used in the creation of simple cognitohazards, or so we can better understand anomalous texts without worrying about them messing with us. |
A standard Foundation kill agent, designed to terminate any non-Foundation subjects. | "You", "Not", "Present", "Foundation", "Kill" (trigger) | Replacing "Present" with "Future" from first test. | No immediate effects; subjects all suddenly expired after random intervals, in a manner consistent with standard kill agent exposure. | None. |
Discovery:
SCP-XXXX was first discovered in its present location. Little is known about the object prior to its discovery, though the discovery of an undocumented anomalous SCP-XXXX-1 instance implies that the object may have existed for some time prior to discovery.
The hazard is a powerful antimemetic infohazard that is capable of affecting any individual with knowledge of SCP-XXXX. The effects are temporary, appearing to last a maximum of two weeks before the antimemetic effects cease, and will cause the individual to actively destroy documentation regarding SCP-XXXX. Due to its undocumented status, as well as its properties, it is theorized that an unauthorized experiment with SCP-XXXX led to the total erasure of all knowledge of the object's existence.

See this hole.
It's a big hole. If you were to stand on the lip of it, you wouldn't be able to see the other side.
And it was all hand-dug.
The hole never really levels out; at some point, it begins to split into several, smaller holes. These holes, in turn, split off further into more and more holes.
Every hole is unique; some diggers dig one single, very deep hole, while others choose to dig many shallow holes. Many an amateur has dug a poorly-dug hole, leading to fellow diggers re-filled them. However, they rarely insult the digger for their lack of skill, and instead offer to show them what they did wrong.
Dozens of people enter the hole every day, ready to dig their own holes.
Some people choose not to dig, and simply observe and comment on those who do; others make plans to dig the biggest holes their fellow diggers have ever seen, and simply can never bring themselves to execute these plans.
As technology and our understanding of the physical laws of the universe grew and developed, more was understood about anomalous processes as well.
It started with a simple grasp of infohazards and how they affected us. With the advent of psychology and neuroscience came a massive innovation in the way memetics and infohazards can rewire the brain.
Thaumatology has existed for centuries, yet very little proper research into it was performed until the late 1█th century. Eventually, technology and understanding of the world grew, leading to the non-anomalous periodic table emerging. The GOC has lead massive innovations in this field.
Alongside the discovery of the subatomic particles of the atom came the discovery of Thaumic substructures, leading to the Paraperiodic Revolution of 1886.
And who could possibly forget Robert Scranton, the pioneer in the study of dimensions and reality, who lead the way to the creation of the entire ontophysical branch of paraphysics28.
As these innovations came to pass, many objects in containment were reevaluated, and a shocking number were found to be easily explained by the now-understood processes. Many of these objects were found to have been simply temporally shifted from the Horizon Event.
Objects were found to use understood aspects of paraphysics, including thaumatologic processes, infohazardous carvings or inlays, paraperiodic elements, and/or non-anomalous, temporally-shifted technologies.

Description: Item Theta is a large spotlight, the beam of which originally lead to a singular alternate reality. Beam is unable to be obstructed, simply phasing through solid matter until reaching a 1 meter radius, where it will remain regardless of distance . Item Theta appears to be physically indestructible, with a partial exception being the lens. Item requires no power source, and cannot be disabled. Should the lens be broken, it was found that the rift would also fragment in the same manner, with the larger portion leading to the original Theta-1 instance. The smaller instances generated appear to lead to different timelines leading off of the one which was shattered.
The only apparent connection between all Theta-1 realities is that they all possess their own instances of Item Theta, and any damage any of these lenses take will also affect Item Theta. So far, over 133 alternate timelines are currently connected to Item Theta. Matter and energy are able to be transferred through the rifts into the corresponding reality, though at this point most of these holes are too small for actual use.
Currently, there appear to be at least 16 separate Theta-1 realities where Item Theta is under the control of hostile forces; efforts to negotiate the safety of the object are currently underway.
Creation: Item Theta was originally constructed to enable Foundation researchers to collaborate with a similar timeline, so that both groups could share knowledge on existing SCP
objects without needing to invest as much on space, time or resources. Due to an accident during transportation, the object shattered, leading to the manifestation of 14 different Theta-1 timelines.

Notice to All Researchers: If you've been directed to this document, consult your site manager and tell them that you've been given an outdated link. The original object this article was written for has been re-designated as SCP-4███. We apologize for the confusion, and are currently working to solve this issue.
- Site-15 Director P███ G█████.
So you may be wondering what this thing is, why it's here, and where the original article went Article has been updated; thank you, Director.
Well, a long time ago, back when the format for these documents was still in development, this test document was made. The 05 seemed to like it, and so it stuck around. We put this thing into the archive once the format was finalized, where anybody could access it. Nothing was wrong, and everything was running smoothly.
Then someone got cocky and accidentally leaked some kind of digital infohazard, which acted like a virus that blasted its way through the database. It went completely undetected by all of our antivirus programs, even managing to slip into some of the more secure documents. It took almost two weeks to fully flush the virus from the system. Nothing really seemed to change, aside from a few corrupted articles, but those got fixed pretty quickly.
We found and assigned SCP-4███ to this slot, and the document was all written out. It was uploaded to the database. A few minutes pass.
Then, without any warning, the whole article… well, this happened.As it turned out, the virus had done a lot more than we had thought. The broken links, the corrupted documents… the virus had altered the structure of the whole fucking database. It's like if a Java program was seamlessly translated to… something else entirely. We couldn't tell there was anything wrong because the transition was pretty much undetectable. I think that the virus was purged before it could complete its restructuring, so there are a few parts that aren't fully integrated into the new system.
This article was in the archive, which wasn't in the main list; the virus was infecting the archive when it was neutralized, but it only got to this format-test and a few other articles. We thought that the documents were lost, but I guess they're just hiding somewhere, waiting for their own spaces to get filled before automatically inserting themselves like this one did. It's happened to two SCPs and an incident report so far, and we have reason to suspect there are two more documents in limbo.
We can't fix this. It would require either a complete restructuring of the Foundation mainframe, or the virus could be reintroduced into the system, which would obviously be intentionally committing a pretty major security breach for something that would require less paperwork to just sweep under the rug.
Either way, I guess this article's here to stay.
Extras:
Attention Lattice- A piece of information attached to a Base that draws a viewer's attention. A Type-1 only draws attention while it is displayed, and the viewers can still be distracted; Type-2 will cause viewers to tune out outside distractions, and Type-3 will embed itself in the subject's mind, enabling the subject to be more receptive to the Base medium upon re-exposure, even in the absence of an Attention Lattice.
Magnet- Spontaneously generating, tiny ideas that experience an inversely exponential memetic growth; the smaller they are, the more they are build onto and the more receptive people are to the idea. As more is added onto them, they slow down until eventually stopping. Due to the anomalous nature of these ideas, they will often evolve into some other form of metafictional anomaly.
Cognitohazard Types:
Passive: Cognitohazard could, theoretically, be conceived by any individual without needing any outside source.
Active: Requires sensory exposure to cognitohazardous information.
Invasive: Cognitohazard does not require prior knowledge or awareness to any degree in order to affect people, a la SCP-426.
- The Soyuz 1 crash didn't actually kill Komarov, even though it should have; instead, he somehow emerged unscathed. He claims that he had spoken with god on the way down, and the Foundation finds a spatial anomaly high up in the atmosphere that caused the failures.
- Titivillus as an infohazard (what to do…)
- Key Lime Pie Oreo packet that alters the taste of other objects around it into Key Lime Pie. Only affects people who have tasted them. (?)
- A song by a small indie band that was unknowingly laced with dozens of minor memetic hazards that caused the song to become extremely catchy and popular, despite the amateur performance skills.
- An orange tree that makes anomalous oranges that let people talk to fruit; interview with an apple leads it to refer to a "traitor", implying Dr. King.
- 049 versus 3125
- 3335 being counteracted directly by 3513
- 973 chasing 3899. 'nuf said.
- Something creating floating islands (not technically floating)
- Knockoff Wondertainment product (I forgot what it was). Later found that the company was shut down by Wondertainment Industries for copyright infringement and impersonation.
- Courtyard frozen in time as an owl(?) is struck by an arrow. Arrow is retrieved, and time resumes as normal, albeit with everybody who was frozen being dead. Owl corpse is revealed to possess numerous subtle anatomical and physical anomalies.
- A computer file that only exists as one instance on one hard drive; randomly disappears and reappears on another drive later. Many people have placed documents and files within the object, and it has no apparent impact on the stored memory while it is there.
- A person whose appearance, actions and current location are all entirely dependent on individual frames of view (i.e., one camera shows him in one corner of the room, another shows him in a different corner, etc.)
- An animatronic that randomly switches places with normal entertainment animatronics and will proceed to scream obscenities at the children. Possibly a -J Definitely a -J.
- A portion of the Great Wall of China that will cause extreme spatial distortions to resist all attempts at moving or damaging the stones.
Theory #1: SCP-173 is some form of anchor for an eldritch being, and if it is destroyed the entity would be released, unimpeded by perception.
Theory #2: 914 is part of MEKHANE's brain.
Theory #3: 106 can move along the θ' axis, which is why it has a pocket dimension AND why it is corrosive to all solid matter.
Theory #3.5: SCP-2364 is θ'-sided object; that's why it cannot be described.
Götterdämmerung
Specific Bits of Articles:
SCP-XXXX is a slow-acting cognitohazard capable of inducing semantic dissociation in objects the subject is currently aware of, overriding their own concepts with that of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX is only able to be conceived by one individual at once, and is always understood by one subject at any given time; said individual will immediately understand SCP-XXXX in its entirety, reporting the experience to be similar to a sudden burst of inspiration. Information describing SCP-XXXX possesses a Type-X6 antimemetic effect (Total Obfuscation).
SCP-XXXX is the concept of a piece of information that is unable to be reproduced outside of Foundation sources. The concept is, in itself, unable to be reproduced outside of Foundation knowledge. Effectively, nobody outside of the Foundation is able to comprehend the idea of SCP-XXXX. Used to execute Protocol-HYPNOS by temporarily referring to SCP-XXXX with the information to-be-expunged on a piece of paper. Implied that there may be many other groups with their own versions of SCP-XXXX, yet the Foundation is unable to comprehend this as a possibility.
Sector Lambda is a special area within Site Alpha, a conceptually unique area where anything within is unable to be conceived by those outside Sector Lambda without them instead imagining Sector Lambda itself. Think of an opaque box holding something. Usually you can still imagine and visualize the object; in this case, attempting to picture the thing inside causes you to picture the box. Sector Lambda is used to hold exceedingly dangerous metaphysical anomalies, concepts and memetic hazards that could easily get waaaay out of hand.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags
Special Classes:
[Class]-Green: Object requires the lack of knowledge of its anomalous properties or must be led to assume that it is somehow benefiting the Foundation.
[Class]-Yellow: Denotes that an outside entity or GoI is integral to containment.
[Class]-Red: Object required to believe that it is currently uncontained and/or is currently posing a major threat to Foundation and/or global operations.
Protocols:
Protocol-HYPNOS
Used to wipe widespread public knowledge of sensitive information through the internet by using temporary memory-altering cognitohazards and modifying/removing posts, articles and entire websites. Used in Playermodel Duplication Glitch, among others. After the initial redaction, webcrawlers are set up to flag any new posts online regarding the information, and confusion regarding the redaction event is resolved by designated personnel. Note that HYPNOS does not expunge physical copies of the information, only mental and digital (stored online).
Protocol-STILLHET (Norwegian Bokmål for Peace/Silence/Calm)
Used to isolate a large area from the rest of baseline reality, usually to quarantine viral or self-replicating anomalies. Possibly uses conceptual/metaphysical anomalies such as Inside. Only used as a last-ditch effort in order to prevent a K-Class Scenario. Used to contain A Place of Many Histories and the Parasitic Conceptual Hazard.
