ATTRIBUTIONS FOR SCP-3317:

• DarkStuff
• Probably other people as well…

« »

IDEA FERMENTATION CHAMBER

ACTUAL IDEAS:

• Small ceramic figure that is perceived as an authority figure. Destroyed in an assassination attempt following a reality-warp.
• Lloyd scip.
• Parasitic honeypot ants that transform their hosts into horrific ant-human hybrids. Also cause a complete semantic disassociation of the host and parasite with the concepts of "disease", "parasite", "insect", and "abnormality". Include a report of an MTF being entirely unable to rescue the tormented civilians.
• A meteor, suspended miles above the Earth, pointed at the big dinosaur crash site, maaaybe inching away?
  • Actually, a region of earth that corrects things in accordance with an alternate history where the dinos never went extinct.
  • See "Thunder Lizard…" tab, and I really need to execute the idea better — it's a good premise but there's no developing narrative aside from a very cliched ending.
• Literary actualising force-made reality bender. Metaphors become real, and people's expectations get thrown back at them. Combining with the "alert log" theme would probably work, or at least something similar.
  • Currently in the works on standby.
  • Sort out the idea, consider changing the name to "For the Sake of the Narrative"
• Requiem for a life unlived. Diaries for an alternate timeline, presented to bereaved as a means of comfort. MC&D could work as a set-up, with the development of a standalone company by a former employee.
  • Under construction.
• Untitled car scip. A boy who crashed his father's car gets punished by anomalous means, the father dies before he can turn him back to normal.
  • First draft completed, but I could do more with the idea.

HALF-BAKED MUSINGS:

• Fiat Lux
  • Light causes growth of miniature city, population harvested periodically.
• Phantom smells, and why they're actually terrifying torture dimensions.
• A dead greenhouse, and a time-f*cked city buried underground.
• The Martian soil is actually a spreading contamination that destroyed the planet and all who lived upon it.
  • Sending out balloon-like creatures to contaminate other planets, possibility of spreading to Earth?
  • Could work as either a tale or WL entry.
• Eggs in toast
  • I don't know what you want from me.
• Exit through the gift shop
  • Struggling not to re-make SCP-3008.
  • MTF gets trapped and used as an exhibit in an alien museum?
• A guy who is a pattern and the philosophical problems he faces in his day-to-day life.
• Spiders spiders everywhere, but not a drop to OH GOD MY EYES.
  • A dumb idea, VR goggles would probably work better than a Geiger counter.
  • No, instead use a visibility cloak, that's much less stupid.
• Punch-cards? Something with punch-cards.
• Hey, human spines are pretty funky-looking, do something with that.
• MTF-5-5 ("ƒ(Fish Tim)")
• FIAT LAMPO
  • Laughing Ass My (P) Off
  • Typos, and the nature of truth.
  • Generation of religious documents? Perhaps a living map?
• Trains!?

SCP-3124 (REWRITE)

Item #: SCP-3124

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3124 is to be contained in a standard anomalous item storage locker, with access granted to personnel with Level 2 or higher security clearance. Under no circumstances are any personnel with a history of interaction with anomalous religious groups allowed to handle SCP-3124 outside of approved testing.

During handling, no direct skin contact is to be made with SCP-3124 unless directly instructed by the test overseer. The files stored on SCP-3124 are considered non-anomalous, and copies are available on demand to all researchers.

Description: SCP-3124 is a non-standard 64GB USB flash drive, of unknown manufacture. The casing of the drive displays a stylised rendition of the word "ASCENTION [sic]", while the reverse features the phrase "A product of TRINITARIAN industries©™". Despite this apparent branding, no other instances of SCP-3124 have been located. Files stored on SCP-3124 are impossible to edit or delete, but can be copied.

When direct skin contact with SCP-3124 is made by a human, a USB port emerges from the base of the subjects skull above the C1 vertebra. The time from initial contact with SCP-3124 and completion of the USB port's manifestation has ranged from 5 seconds to 14 minutes, with an average duration of 23 seconds. All affected test subjects to date have described the formation of the USB port as uncomfortable, but in no way painful. In all cases, the modification appear to be permanent, and connected to the spinal cord by non-anomalous nerve fibres.

If, following the manifestation of the USB port, SCP-3124 is inserted into said port, the subject (henceforth designated SCP-3124-1) will demanifest, later reappearing at the same point relative to the earth. Approximately 60% of SCP-3124-1 instances will display biological abnormalities and various mechanical augmentations. Note that re-inserting SCP-3124 multiple times will trigger multiple demanifestations, and accumulate increasing numbers of augmentations.

An abridged list of demanifestation events is available in Document 3124-C.

SCP-3124 instance	Details of event	Result
D-004305	Subject manifested in an unknown rural location, and was asked by an unknown humanoid to heal an injured peasant, who promptly manifested behind the subject. After they succeeded in administering basic first aid, the unknown humanoid congratulated D-004305 and proceeded to place a hand on their forehead. Subject then demanifested, reappearing at Site-##.	Subject acquired a supernumerary mechanical limb, attached below the left shoulder. Limb proved capable of exerting a force of #####N, beyond its suggested mechanical capabilities. A partially corrupted text file was added to SCP-3124 following the event, reading "Congratulations on fulfillment! Continue the path to ASCENSION and reap the true rewards".
D-202203	Subject manifested an estimated 200 metres above the ground, and fell to their death. An apparent humanoid vocalised repeatedly during the event, but was incomprehensible.	Subject re-manifested at Site-## alive and with no physical injuries. SCP-3124's contents remained unchanged.
D-098655	Subject was requested to defeat a large, unidentified humanoid in combat.	cell-content

Interviewed: David ███████

Interviewer: Dr. B█████████

Foreword: Dr. B█████████ asking David ███████ about [DATA EXPUNGED].mp4 and SCP-3124

Dr. B█████████ "So, David, what can you tell me about [DATA EXPUNGED].mp4"

David ███████ "Well I have never seen the movie, yet I can deliver a flawless performance word for word all 1 hour and 36 minutes"

Dr. B█████████ "Fascinating, and tell me, what did it feel like for the USB port to uncover itself from your skin?"
David ███████ "Like a bug crawling around, or, or, ticklish. It felt un-natural yet perfectly reasonable

Addendum: It was previously thought that SCP-3124 would transfer all stored data to the subject. After a series of 12 tests Dr. B█████████ denoted that any amount of data over 40GB would force the subject's brain to almost entirely shut down, placing the subject into a vegetative brain dead state. All 12 subjects were terminated after failure.

An Apparent Amalgamation of Re-contextualising Coelacanths

Description: SCP-3XXX is a vaguely humanoid entity, assembled from what appear to be biologically fused instances of Latimeria chalumnae — the African (or West Indian Ocean) Coelacanth. The pattern of instances throughout SCP-3XXX's body varies, and appears almost entirely random, as does the entity's size (ranging from 0.4 to 2.3 metres in height over a period of 18 months). Due to the anomalous properties of SCP-3XXX-1, SCP-3XXX's biological functions, if any, remain unknown. Recovered footage and reports suggest the entity is highly sentient, and likely possesses low to mid-level sapience.

SCP-3XXX-1 is a viscous fluid secreted from SCP-3XXX in place of ordinary bodily fluids (sweat, urine, blood, etc.). SCP-3XXX is physically and chemically identical to human spinal fluid¹, and causes an anomalous reality-warping effect when in the immediate vicinity of any sapient organism. This effect can be summarised as follows:

• If the affected subject witnesses an event they would consider 'unusual', they will perceive said event in a modified capacity, altered so as to better fit with their expectations.
• If the affected subject participates in an event they would consider 'unusual', all persons engaging in said event will begin to act in a manner more befitting the subject's expectations. In the event that two or more persons under the effects of SCP-3XXX-1 with contrasting expectations of reality participate in a single event, the aforementioned perception-altering will also occur, so as to better allow both subjects to perceive any actions made as 'normal'.
• If the affected subject participates in or witnesses an event involving anomalous phenomena, said phenomena will be weakened or altered significantly, and all previously mentioned effects will apply. Due to ambiguous definitions of 'normalcy', allowing SCP-3XXX-1 to come into contact with subjects exposed to anomalous phenomena is strongly discouraged.

Hypnotics and other perception-reducing compounds have proven moderately successful in reducing the effects of SCP-3XXX-1, presumably by rendering subjects less likely to question abnormal circumstances.

Item #: SCP-4090 (placeholder draft number)

Object Class: Euclid Neutralised

Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-4090 is technically composed of Foundation personnel, and temporally de-localised, no active containment is either necessary or feasible. Containment Procedures for SCP-4090 therefore revolve around maintaining causality and preventing paradoxical event series. Documentation on SCP-4090 is to be placed in variable ChronoLock, as is standard for temporal anomalies of this type.

---

Notice (08/09/2029): The following section of this document (created 1/02/2025) contains outdated information, and should not be considered an accurate representation of the anomaly in question. An updated version is currently undergoing review.
~ Dr. Alice Forth, Department of Recurrence

Description: The designation SCP-4090 refers to a series of temporal anomalies, revolving around an as-yet unformed Mobile Task Force. The Task Force in question (MTF-Eta-Then, "Cause and Effective") will apparently be created with the aim of retroactively preventing containment breaches that could otherwise have posed a large-scale threat to Foundation personnel or infrastructure. The devices capable of allowing MTF-η-⊃ to travel backwards through time are expected to be developed by Foundation scientists at some point in late 2600 — said Foundation scientists have agreed to trade such technology for samples of present-day literature, fossil fuels, and endangered species of plant and animal.

The following is a timeline of all major events relating to either SCP-4090 or MTF-η-⊃:

Event Number	Date	Nature of event
001	09/02/2024	First recorded manifestation of MTF-η-⊃. All sixteen members appear, and successfully halt a breach of SCP-███. Entities provide Foundation personnel with documents relating to their formation, but are unable to be conclusively interviewed before de-manifesting.
002	04/11/2024	MTF-η-⊃ manifests, and attempts to enter SCP-████'s containment cell. All members of the team are apprehended, and several interviews were conducted. The team's date of formation remains unclear, as no agent possesses knowledge of events prior to their deployment, but their scheduled date for 'return' is identified as 04/09/2029. While personnel are attempting to discern the nature of the anomaly, a second iteration of MTF-η-⊃ covertly manifests and performs routine maintenance on SCP-████'s chamber. Both iterations de-manifest shortly afterwards.
003	19/02/2025	Plans are made for the future development of MTF-η-⊃, with advised recruitment from task forces Beta-9 and Rho-5. Research begins into the development of required equipment.
004	28/08/2025	Prototype temporal distortion engine 4090-Alpha is developed.
005	17/03/2026	Official completion of Prototype 4090-Beta, and birth of Agent Miguel (leader of MTF-Rho-5, and later member of MTF-η-⊃).
006	20/04/2026	Initiation of Prototype 4090-Gamma. Due to an unforeseen malfunction, this resulted in a DT-Class Split Timeline scenario, in which two versions of the same timeline run parallel to one another. Both timelines were aware of this, thanks to enhanced cross-temporal detection software.
007A	22/04/2026-I	Attempt to activate Forth-Xyank Concatenators fails, due to lack of a corresponding unit in the secondary timeline.
007B	22/04/2026-II	Forth-Xyank Concatenator violently disabled by MTF-η-⊃, apparently originating from 08/09/2029 with orders to prevent the merging of the two timelines. Agent ███ unintentionally terminated during the event's ensuing hostilities.
008	23/04/2026-I to 01/05/2024-I	Additional attempts to activate Forth-Xyank Concatenators fail, due to continued lack of a corresponding unit.
009	26/05/2026-I/II	Breach on 04/11/2024 halted by MTF-η-⊃, launched backwards simultaneously in both iterations. Task Force re-manifests, apparently sent from 04/09/2029, renamed to "Time Consumers" for unknown reasons.
010	15/06/2026	Concatenation of timelines achieved manually by replacing Prototype 4090-Gamma with a functioning model (Prototype 4090-Zulu-Zulu-Lima) acquired from 2670 AD. Note that this causes the reversion of events from 20/04/2026 to 15/06/2026, resulting in no such Split Timeline scenario ever occurring. As the deployment of MTF-η-⊃ on 26/05/2026-I/II never happened, the breach continued to have happened. Dr. Forth expresses extreme concern regarding the convolution of logical causation.
011	23/08/2026	First recorded deployment of MTF-η-⊃. Task Force successfully deployed to 04/11/2024, with instructions to prevent the breach. Excursion deemed successful, with Task Force returning to 04/09/2029 as instructed. Re-manifests the following day (re-named "Bootstrappers"), confirming lack of paradoxes.
012	09/02/2024	Task force successfully prevents containment breach on 09/02/2024, with no identified incidents.
013	02/01/2027	Noted that the manifestation of a duplicate task force on 04/11/2024, originally believed to have originated from 26/05/2026-I/II, should have been reverted following the replacement of the prototype. MTF-η-⊃ sent back to 20/04/2026 to covertly replace Prototype 4090-Zulu-Zulu-Lima with a faulty model. Split Timeline scenario is thus caused to have always happened as originally documented. Pending re-manifestation of various iterations of MTF-η-⊃, the project is put on hiatus.
014	04/09/2029	Both iterations of MTF-η-⊃ return from 04/11/2024. The iteration launched from 26/05/2026-I/II to 04/11/2024 is renamed to "Time Consumers" to preserve continuity, amnesticised, and sent back to 26/05/2026-I/II. The MTF launched from 23/08/2026 to 04/11/2024 is renamed to "Bootstrappers" to preserve continuity, amnesticised, and sent back to 23/08/2026.
015	08/09/2029	Noted that concatenation at 22/04/2026-I/II would prevent the launching of the alternate iteration of MTF-η-⊃. Task force deployed to22/04/2026-II, preventing said concatenation. All malignant paradoxes considered resolved, project immediately discontinued by Dr. Forth due to a massive increase in work-related stress among the Department's staff.

Addendum (24/12/2056): The attempts to establish Mobile Task Force Russell-9 ("Self Containing Sets"), a group specialising in altering the Foundation's history to better facilitate containment, were violently halted today by an unknown iteration of MTF-η-⊃, accompanied by the late Site Director Alice Forth, who physically assaulted the project lead, Dr. Teller. Due to the Task Force's apparent vehemence on the matter, and Dr Teller's recent aversion to continuing the attempt, the project is being postponed indefinitely.

Item #: SCP-4004

Object Class: Safe-Amathis

Special Containment Procedures: [TODO]

Description: SCP-4004 are a collection of fourteen external hard-drives, each containing significant internal modifications and featuring a short note written on the cover. While SCP-4004 instances are entirely non-anomalous in composition, each drive has been shown to contain an individual conscious entity (designated SCP-4004-1₁ through 4004-1₁₄) resembling that of Agent █████ ██████ prior to their death on ##/##/20##. While SCP-4004-1 show near-identical personality traits and characteristics to one another, each instance displays signs of minor to severe mental deterioration and/or deviation from standard thought patterns and instincts. Research into the cause of this abnormality is ongoing.

A number of interviews with SCP-4004-1 via standard Foundation hardware have been conducted to date, with varying levels of success. Following Update-4004-A, further testing is to be considered a medium/high-risk ethical violation, and requires the permission of at least three personnel with Level-4 clearance and one Ethics Committee liaison.

Addendum.1: Interview Logs: The following document is an abridged copy of interviews conducted with SCP-4004-1 instances.

Not Our Problems

Item #: SCP-7777 (Placeholder draft number)

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Civilian access to SCP-7777 is to be prevented at all times under guise of, and Foundation personnel are to remove any unauthorised persons prior to each wave of manifestation. No fewer than fifty 2 cm³ blocks of low-grade steel alloy, 3000 copies of Standard Foundation Disposable Literature, and two laboratory mice are to be made available to SCP-7777-1 instances daily.

Contingency plans are currently in place to evacuate the area should SCP-9876 regions show any change in size or number. Standard amnestic/re-integration protocols are to be followed in the event of civilian discovery.

Description: SCP-7777 is an abandoned food-processing plant in █████████, England, containing an irregularly shaped region of dimensional instability. The exact position of this region within the building is unknown, but it appears to extend from the third storey to the cellar, with no clear centre, focal point, or boundary.

At random points between 19:12 and 23:33, Forth Stability Levels within SCP-7777 will briefly drop by a factor of .3, and an apparently random number of entities (designated SCP-7777-1) will manifest within the region. The number of entities manifesting, as well as their locations within SCP-7777, seem to be entirely random, with no common patterns observed between manifestations.

SCP-7777-1 are biomechanical humanoid creatures, of standard proportions for non-anomalous humans. Instances appear to be constructed from a single cryonically preserved human cadaver, rendered mobile by the addition of hydraulic actuators in place of major joints. SCP-7777-1 universally manifest at extremely low temperatures, and the method by which they maintain proper viscosity of hydraulic fluid is unknown. Instances will attempt to gather various materials in and around SCP-7777 (including, but not limited to, food, electronic components, raw metals, paper documents, and small mammals), before demanifesting along with acquired objects. SCP-7777-1's reasons for gathering these objects are unknown.

Addendum.1: On ##/##/####, a drone was placed within SCP-7777 prior to a manifestation event. As expected, it was acquired by [TODO]

An Old Wound; 2 Feet and a Finger

SCP-XXXX is the combined designation for an entity (designated SCP-XXXX-1) and a series of phenomena related to the entity's movement throughout baseline reality (designated SCP-XXXX-2). SCP-XXXX-2 manifest sporadically across the British Isles, the Republic of Ireland, and recently, the Midwestern United States. No method of predicting, preventing, subverting, perverting, or otherwise interfering with SCP-XXXX-2 has yet been discovered or attempted.

SCP-XXXX-1 is an entity of ambiguous form and function. It measures between 30cm and 8ft in height, and is capable of manipulating reality to an unknown degree. How SCP-XXXX-1 is able to remotely influence the units used to measure its height is unknown. SCP-XXXX-2 is currently theorised to consist of tw█ █▓▓█ ▓██ ▓ █▓██▓█, █ith a conceptually neg▓█▓█▓ █▓▓█▓██ █▓█▓█. █▓ ██▓rify, SCP-XX██-1 is believed to ██▓██ only in th▓ █▓█▓█▓ve form, and as such is alien to our current █▓█▓██ ▓█ █▓██▓██. This has not been confirmed to any degree.

SCP-XXXX-1's most prominent effect, besides a low-level influence on information surrounding it, is the continuous generation of SCP-XXXX-2 phenomena. These events have no clear pattern or theme, but follow (for the most part) a distinct geographic route. A recorded list of SCP-XXXX-2 phenomena recorded is as follows:

Designation: SCP-XXXX-2-##/##/####

Location: Wing E, Hereford County Hospital, England

Summary: One Gareth Blaine experiences a sudden drop in local temperature, a sensation of extreme heat, and the sound of footsteps. Mr. Blaine is forcefully discharged from the hospital the following day, for unknown reasons. Reports that there is, in fact, no Wing E of Hereford County Hospital have been found to be entirely false.

Designation: SCP-XXXX-2-##/##/####

Location: ███████ Rd., Hereford, England

Summary: A 1995 Honda Civic is found embedded in the road surface to a depth of 2 ft. Two shoes and a single glove, were discovered at the scene, with no identifiable DNA present. Witnesses interviewed about the event were reportedly unavailable for comment.

Designation: SCP-XXXX-2-##/##/####

Location: The River Tyne, England

Summary: Several simultaneous reports were made of a drowning civilian. Although unable to comment on the victim's clothing, facial features or body shape, they were able to describe their feet in extreme detail. All CCTV cameras failed for eleven minutes either side of this event, showing only static, punctuated by views of the river from a different viewpoint, positioned so that a region ~3 metres in diameter is at no point visible.

Designation: SCP-XXXX-2-##/##/####

Location: [REDACTED], [REDACTED], England, [REDACTED]

Summary: A small cabin is located, with a 1995 Honda Civic parked outside. This is not a real car model. The cabin is entirely reversed on all axes, and DNA samples taken from within came up negative on all accounts. Researchers involved in the recovery of the cabin felt the need to point out that two feet and a finger were the minimum body parts required to operate a 1995 Honda Civic, despite this not being the case.

Research is ongoing as to the current location of ERROR bodies recovered from the interior of the cabin. The phrase "I CANT" was inscribed on the exterior of the cabin, with "5+5+1=11 =TWO 1s=ONE TIMES 3-1" on the seat of the vehicle.

Designation: SCP-XXXX-2-##/##/####

Location: Unknown, presumably an aircraft above the Atlantic Ocean

Summary: Recovery of the wreckage is ongoing. Due to the filling of most major compartments with sweat and dead organic tissue, a Class-513 Aircraft Compartment Filling Event is suspected to have taken place. This is unconfirmed.

Two feet and a finger were recovered from the wreckage. The DNA of said body parts did not match that of SCP-XXXX-2. They were not, in fact, there. There was no finger, no feet, there was less than nothing, less than nothing, less than no[Infohazard expunged via Vulnerat-I/O, an automated Foundation subsystem]. An interview was conducted.

Researcher Forth: So, what was your experience on-board the flight?

SCP-XXXX-2: I don't think I can.

Researcher Forth: I'm sorry?

SCP-XXXX-2: What?

Researcher Forth: What?

SCP-XXXX-2: No, let's start over, if that's okay with you. I'm trying to. I swear. [pause] Going so soon?

Nineteen, Eighty, two-zero-one and then some. Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Hello?

I…

I don't know. Please help me. Why not? I'm sorry for your loss.

Three feet to a yard, three yards to an inch, twelve inches to a foot and then round we go again. Something like that. I don't know. It's dark, or at least, it's dark where I know how to look. Where I remember knowing how to look.

This isn't what it is. What it was. What it… what it was supposed to be.

Taste. You have taste here? No. No, not really. Cream and butter, stick your finger in the pudding plum pie and know what it is. What it was. What it is.

It is what it is? That's quaint, dear.

I can't… can't keep holding it together like this. He can't keep holding it apart. We shouldn't be this close… no, this far away. I'm not meant to do this. Or am I? Hello there, friend, it's good to see you again. Two-zero-one. No wait, One-zero-two. Two seven and three and zero and I feel my face again. Or yours. Revere the shadows? That sounds like nonsense to me, officer.

The problem with people today is that I'm trapped and I'm free and I can't keep doing this. Hello?

Your delivery will be late, because a man with no face is eating the road and his eyes look too deep inside me. Light hits my skin, but it is the wrong skin, and the wrong light. Will my skin ever grow back?

Yes, of course.

No, of course not.

It already did, while you were staring at cracks in the side of your head. My head.

Taste. Not taste, the other thing. Rice. No, sound. Or grass. Freedom, water, atrophy, inimicality, hope. They blend and run together. Seeping through. Two feet left to go. Then I'm over the foot. The edge, I'm over the edge. The foot. The finger. What? Bang, and the ground falls out beneath you.

I can't.

I'm sorry, you let me out and pushed me aside. Apologise. I'm less than nothing, and you can't deny that. That's why we're so perfect. The river Tyne measures three hundred and eighty five thousand feet in length. That's irrelevant. Don't point the blame at me, mister.

Listen, man, I don't care. You're a part of me as much as anything. That's why we're perfect together. I'm the lack, you're the wit, together we make less than whole. Wrong as usual. I feel empty, or even less. Public static void. What? Hello?

I can't.

Taste the shadows that run through cracks in skin and cream and rejoice. The yard. Yard. Inch. Yard. Movement is not my fortē. Ligatures aren't either. Why don't we sit down and discuss this like gentlemen. Please wait two to three weeks for delivery. Immediate cancellation. Fine, be that way.

It's your loss.

Sorry, sir, I can't stay away much longer. Insolence. No. I'm what you wanted back. No. I'm the problem? The solution. Both of them. I remember you remembering me remembering you remember… hold on. You remember an explosion. Light. Bad light? Light. Burnt. Ouch. A missing foot. Two feet. Two feet and a finger.

That was a diacritic just then, not a ligature. Just checking. An explosion and then I'm you. I'm the empty void where you used to have feeling. Feet and a finger. You tore me out.

I don't.

We can't.

Item #: SCP-9876 (placeholder draft number)

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Civilian access to areas containing SCP-9876 is to be prevented from 19:00 to 23:00, and Foundation personnel are to remove any unauthorised persons prior to each wave of manifestation. No fewer than 1000 light-sources are to be made available to manifesting entities. If possible, property containing SCP-9876 is to be purchased by the Foundation, with non-anomalous portions to be used as Mundane Item Storage.

Contingency plans are currently in place to evacuate the area, should SCP-9876 regions show any change in size or number. Standard amnestic/re-integration protocols are to be followed in the event of civilian discovery.

Description: SCP-9876 are sixty-three irregularly shaped regions of space, located in and around ████████, England. The size of these regions varies, with the smallest being 2 m³, and the largest being 61 m³. SCP-9876 are physically indistinguishable from surrounding regions, with the exception of drastically increased background hume levels and warped probability reference frames².

At random points between 20:12 and 22:33, hume levels within SCP-9876 will drop by a factor of .3, and an apparently random number of entities (designated SCP-9876-1) will manifest within the regions. The number of entities manifesting, as well as their locations within SCP-9876, seem to be entirely random, with no common patterns observed between manifestations.

SCP-9876-1 resemble crude, open-topped containers, between 0.30 and 2.5 m in diameter, with a number of metallic limbs and appendages fixed haphazardly to the base and sides. Although SCP-9876-1 appear vaguely mechanical in composition, no power source or non-anomalous method of mobility has yet been found. Various buttons, switches, sockets and other common electrical components are attached at random points to the outer surface of SCP-9876-1 — the function of these items remains unknown, as they have not yet produced any visible effect.

Following initial manifestation, SCP-9876-1 will proceed to seek out and remove the nearest potential light sources, including candles, light-emitting diodes, fluorescent bulbs and gas lamps, but not flammable materials unintended for such use. SCP-9876-1 instances will place each acquisition into their internal compartment, and will then attempt to repeat the procedure with the next nearest light source not already undergoing removal. After an arbitrary amount of time, SCP-9876-1 will return to SCP-9876, and will demanifest via unknown means.

Addendum.1: On 12/06/2017, a test was conducted in which a standard Model-S Surveillance Drone was modified to include eight 300 lumen bulbs and a heavy-duty camera feed. The drone was placed within ten metres of an SCP-9876 region, and as expected was acquired by an SCP-9876-1 instance. The drone demanifested at 21:05, and continued transmitting for 7 hours afterwards. Footage received is available below.

► Show Video Transcript

The following document is an abridged transcript of Exploration-9876-01, performed via modified Model-S drone.

<Begin transcript, 00:00>

00:00: Drone is activated.

00:34: SCP-9876-1 instance (designated SCP-9876-1A) manifests and acquires drone. Angle of camera means vision is partially obscured by the entity's body.

00:59: SCP-9876-1A demanifests, having collected a further 9 fluorescent bulbs (provided by Foundation personnel). Camera visuals are lost, and microphone records a continuous humming.

01:14: Camera visuals are restored, with a view of a large, darkened expanse. SCP-9876-1A appears to be on the side of a large hill or mound, surrounded by other instances of various sizes and shapes. The sudden illumination of all light sources contained within the instance severely reduces camera visibility.

01:16: SCP-9876-1A shifts position, facing towards the top of the mound. No astronomical features common to baseline reality are visible. SCP-9876-1A attempts to activate propellers — no movement observed.

01:17: Command receives a notification from an unknown source, apparently sent via the drone-HQ communication line. Message reads as follows:

This fun/ction has beən temporarily di§abled. Pləase approach In§taurOS™© to lodgə a fformal complaint#

01:20: SCP-9876-1A reaches the top of the mound, and places the drone into a larger (~3m wide) SCP-9876-1 instance (designated SCP-9876-1B). High light levels within this entity reduce visibility further: lens-shade activated without incident.

01:27: SCP-9876-1B begins moving towards a large spire, located an estimated 5 km away. A long queue of larger SCP-9876-1 instances is seen, which SCP-9876-1B joins. Various other queues are also seen, leading to and from the spire in various directions. The light instances emit shows that various points, most often located on top of raised areas of land, serve as manifestation/demanifestation points. Instances returning from these areas universally carry various light-emitting objects.

02:49: SCP-9876-1B suffers a mechanical failure, losing control of two of its appendages simultaneously. Its contents, including the drone, are placed onto a near-identical instance (designated SCP-9876-1C, which begins walking back towards the spire. SCP-9876-1B is placed on a third, larger instance (~10 m across), which moves to join a different queue carrying damaged or inactive instances.

During this, the drone's angle is shifted such that the top of the spire is visible. A large, dark mass is visible between 5 and 10 km above the structure, and instances appear to be in the process of constructing a new layer from stone bricks³.

[EXTRANEOUS DETAILS REMOVED]

05:33: SCP-9876-1C reaches the base of the spire, which measures ~2 km in diameter at the base, and has an exterior constructed from the aforementioned stone blocks. The lightbulbs are removed from the drone by a series of animate appendages, and are deposited in another nearby instance. The drone is replaced into SCP-9876-1C, which enters the spire via a large hole in the side. Other instances are seen entering via other entrances. SCP-9876-1C continues down a corridor for an indeterminate amount of time.

05:49: Plating is observed embedded into the wall via rivets, screws, and nails. It matches that composing SCP-9876-1 instances.

06:01: The composition of the walls of the tunnel gradually changes, including what appears to be wood, concrete, soil and coarse sand. SCP-9876-1 plating is seen to a higher degree, and appears to conform more to a standard shape and size.

[EXTRANEOUS DETAILS REMOVED]

06:42: SCP-9876-1C enters a large amphitheatre, believed to be the approximate centre of the spire. The walls are composed of brick, human remains, and what appear to be whole segments of urban buildings. Within this chamber is a vaguely cylindrical machine measuring >100 m in height, and showing signs of extreme deterioration. Plating displays the following phrase:

InstaurOS™, The Machine to Mend Worlds, erected by [ILLEGIBLE]ar of our lord 110011100011 as a gift to the Society of [ILLEGIBLE]ntinued Preservation.

Research is ongoing into the possible source and/or meaning of this text.

06:48: SCP-9876-1C deposits the drone in a large hopper, attached the side of the machine. The shifting viewpoint allows the drone to view a large aperture, out of which various SCP-9876-1 instances are walking. An intermittent electronic display screen is also visible, displaying the following message:

G2V-SOL IS C▒▒RENTLY NON-FU▓CTI▜NAL. SOLAR REPAIR UNITS ░RE CURRENTLY BEING DISPATCHED TO RESOLVE THE I▄▒UE. WE APOLOGISE FOR A▞▓Y▃INCONVENI▍NCE CAUSED.

06:51: The hopper is activated and the drone is fed into the machine. Communication feed-line is severed, audio and visuals are lost.

Item #: SCP-ANTI

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: No plan for containment of SCP-ANTI has been devised at time of writing. Further detail is not deemed necessary at this time.

Description: SCP-ANTI is an abnormal region of C-space⁴ characterised by a complete absence of any applicable data. To clarify: while the C-spatial area surrounding SCP-ANTI is entirely non-anomalous and mapped to mundane concepts, the region itself is devoid of any recognised information despite the Foundation having achieved a near-complete (>99.98%) mapping of all related conceptual planes. SCP-ANTI currently has a relative unit volume of 28 65 230 1048, although no change in size has been directly observed since the anomaly's discovery.

Concepts within SCP-ANTI (designated SCP-ANTI-A for the purposes of convenience) appear to posess a self-erasing quality, resuting in a loss of coherency in all associated subjects. While inference as to the nature of SCP-ANTI-A can be aquired by careful examination of surrounding areas, the resulting association this produces invariably results in the removal of those examining from conventional reality. Whether this results in the destruction of affected objects, or merely their transfer, is unclear.

Due to a lack of staffing, no further examinations of SCP-ANTI-affected C-space are permitted at this time.

Addendum.1: Experiment Log:

Experiment #001:
Subject: One custom-built inferrence program, running on standard Foundation hardware.
Results: Inference successful, SCP-ANTI-A identified. Full loss of program after 18 minutes. All gathered information removed from conventional reality after 27 minutes.

Experiment #002:
Subject: One custom-built inferrence program, running on standard Foundation hardware. Customisations made to print information as soon as aquired.
Results: Inferrence successful, SCP-ANTI-A identified. Full loss of program after 7 minutes. All gathered information removed from conventional reality after 19 minutes. Paper copies exhibited near-total coherency degradation after 40 minutes.

Experiment #003:
Subject: One custom-built inferrence program. Customisations made to inscribe data onto steel plates.
Results: Inferrence partially successful, SCP-ANTI-A identified. Full data loss of program after 2 minutes. All gathered information removed from conventional reality after 10 minutes. Steel plates, hardware and supervising staff removed from conventional reality after 12 minutes. Coherency degradation of all related concepts up to a factor of 0.12. No further records of experiment recovered.

Experiment #004:
Subject: One D-class personnel to infer the nature of SCP-ANTI-A under supervision.
Results: Unclear. D-class personnel removed from conventional reality after 2 minutes. Loss of containment chamber identifiers, physical copies of information and an unknown number of supervising staff after 4 minutes. Partial vocalisations from subject midway through removal. Nature of vocalisations unknown. Coherency degradation of factor 0.32.

Experiment 5:
Subject: One personnel to infer the nature of SCP-ANTI-A.
Results: Unclear. Personnel removed from conventional reality after a number of minutes. Loss of data and an unknown number of supervising staff after 4 minutes. Coherency degradation of factor 0.59. Vocalisations heard from unknown source, accompanied by further vocalisations. Several pieces of crucial information lost.

Experiment:
Subject: Unclear
Results: Purpose of experiment unclear. All personnel possessing information related to SCP-ANTI, as well as all physical documents related to the experiment, were removed. Tangential concepts deemed unacceptable security risk. Protocol initiated.

Data lost:
Unknown: Data lost.
Data lost: Results unclear. 0.99

Addendum: On ~0/~0/~~00, over twelve thousand individuals were found to have manifested in large areas of unclear purpose, along with high-powered alarms, global alert systems and a large number of objects. Subjects all showed signs engagement with entities and objects of unknown purpose. Documentation related to a recent LK-class containment breach was recovered in the vicinity of all individuals. The meaning of this term remains unknown. Amnestics appear to have been either self-administered or administered by a responsible party, in accordance with guidelines that have not yet been located. Subjects were disoriented upon arrival, and showed evidence of memory alteration/embedded information removal. Vivisections showed signs of extreme internal distress and the presence of several surgical instruments within the abdominal cavity. A relationship between ANTI and the event is hypothesised, but as of yet unproven.

After arrival, and following extensive interrogation, individuals were removed from conventional reality. No further documentation of the event exists. The purpose, nature, cause and/or result of the event is currently unclear.

Addendum: Data lost.

Origin Unknown

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Safe

Secure Containment Procedures: Discussion of SCP-XXXX in any form is prohibited. Any and all personnel found to be in breach of these procedures may or may not be subject to immediate reprimand and/or termination.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an object located on the seventh floor of ████████ Tower, ████████, the former headquarters of South-western Commercial Processing, a Foundation front company. SCP-XXXX may or may not be organic, malevolent, capable of autonomous movement, carnivorous, bio-mechanical, sentient, sapient, or any and all combinations of the above. SCP-XXXX's full nature, origin, and effects are unknown, as are any other qualities related to the object. Unless otherwise stated, these qualities will remain unknown for the foreseeable future.

SCP-XXXX-1 is an effect that may or may not be related to the object classified as SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 describes a process by which a subject undergoes the transportation, alteration, addition or loss of one or more portions of biomass. SCP-XXXX-1 is known to be triggered by certain circumstances, and the conveyance of certain information. Correlation between SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 is, at this point, purely conjectured. To reiterate: there is not, at the present time, any proven link between the two anomalies. Any personnel found speculating as to any such link will be considered in direct violation of the Containment Procedures, and may or may not be subject to such sanctions as would apply.

Addendum: Due to a lack of staff researching the object, and the lack of any and all possible speculation as to the object's origins, the anomaly has been re-classified from Safe to Euclid. Note that this has no bearing on the nature of either SCP-XXXX or SCP-XXXX-1. The origin of SCP-XXXX remains unknown.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: [TODO]

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1.1 is to be contained in a vacuum environment behind a three-airlock door system, with emergency fail-safes in place to ensure full separation of the object from the external environment. Due to the high risk of a NK(1)-Class Cataclysmic Siphon event should SCP-XXXX-1.1's containment be breached, preparations are underway to transport the object to Lunar Area-32.

At the current time, SCP-XXXX-1.2 requires no containment effort on the part of the Foundation, save the installation of radiation-absorbing materials in the various observation areas. Station Kai-Duplic ("Well Enough Alone") is currently tethered to the exterior of SCP-XXXX-1.2, and is expected to see use as a base for future missions.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 are two electromechanical spacecraft, seemingly designed for operating in fixed orbit or position in space, given the lack of any major propellant or fuel system. SCP-XXXX-1 instances are identical to one another, and each measures ~43 metres in length, with three internal chambers and one external airlock.

SCP-XXXX-1 are non-anomalous in construction save for two factors. The first of these is the presence of eight Gravitational Field Negation Devices arranged radially around the craft⁵. When activated, these devices are capable of creating a metastable region in which macroscopic gravitational fields no longer apply, allowing the crafts to remain suspended in one position indefinitely.

The secondary anomalous components of SCP-XXXX-1 are the presence of interior airlocks at the end of each craft. Rather than leading to a second cabin space or the exterior of the craft, the two airlocks are linked via a short extradimensional corridor, allowing smooth passage between instances regardless of the physical distance between them. The method by which this is achieved is unknown.

Item #: SCP-XXXX-1.1

Object Subclass: Safe

Location: Special Containment Unit #4490, Site-54.

Summary: Recovered from ██.████° N, █.████° W — the object was fully submerged and suffering from severe damage, both due to rapid de-orbiting and spending an estimated 12 years located ██ km below sea level. Using SCP-XXXX-1.2 as a model for an intact craft, damages located include:

• Several hull breaches and missing plating.
• A wide array of technical failures (oxygen, communications etc.).
• High levels of damage to three of the eight GFN Devices present on the craft. It is conjectured that this may have caused, or indirectly allowed, SCP-XXXX-1.1's presence within Earth's atmosphere.
• Signs of extreme heating present on the exterior of the craft, presumably acquired during atmospheric entry.

Additional Details: A brass nameplate, severely damaged, and an unidentified logo or symbol. The nameplate reads:

V O Y [two/three missing characters] R

The meaning behind this is unknown.

Item #: SCP-XXXX-1.2

Object Subclass: Vagus

Location: In a fixed position relative to SCP-XXXX-2. See Astronomical Chart XXXX-002 for more information.

Summary: Currently intact, located in an unidentified region of space an unknown distance from Earth. No non-anomalous method of reaching SCP-XXXX-1.2 from Earth has yet been found. All systems within SCP-XXXX-1.2 appear to be fully operational, and include comprehensive memetic, empathetic, telepathic, and electromagnetic shielding.

Additional Details: Currently supporting Station ϗ-Duplic, and a permanent team of astrological and para-cosmological researchers.

Item #: SCP-XXXX-2

Object Subclass: Stellar

Location: See documentation for SCP-XXXX-1.2

Summary: SCP-XXXX-2 are main-sequence stars located in an otherwise unexplored region of space, accessible only via SCP-XXXX-1. Anomalous properties discovered thus far include:

• A reduction in emitted radiation of >85% compared to non-anomalous stars of the same size.
• The lack of any orbiting bodies, despite current theories predicting the existence of at least two exoplanets.
• The complete lack of gravitational forces from one instance relative to the other — standard physics dictates that both stars should have merged soon after formation, rather than adopting the binary system seen here.
• A constant low-grade empathetic field⁶ being emitted from both. Whether this is indicative of sentience or sapience has yet to be determined.

Additional Details: Since discovery, SCP-XXXX-2 have moved 0.6° closer from the perspective of SCP-XXXX-1.2. The cause of this movement is unknown.

Addendum.1: On 27/05/2001, Researcher James Embrey (Site-54's resident empath) conducted a survey of the field being emitted by SCP-XXXX-2. The results of this survey are recorded below.

Type	Proportion
209 (Apprehension)	2.0%
430 (Worry)	8.3%
166 (Pain)	12.4%
002 (Fear)	30.8%
000 (Unknown)	46.5%

Given the high proportion of Type-Minus (negative) emotive constructs, procedures have been implemented to detect possible cosmological/existential hazards that could pose a threat to Foundation infrastructure.

Addendum.2:

I know many of you are confused about the recent increased surveillance of SCP-XXXX-2. I know that the general feeling is that we should retreat from Kai-Duplic and let events there take their course. Unfortunately, this is not possible. We have invested far too much of our department's resources into the station's development, and we are not in a business where cutting our losses is an acceptable course of action.

Whatever is out there, beyond the reach of our telescopes, may be dangerous not just for us, but for the universe as a whole. Well Enough Alone could be our only opportunity to protect humanity, and we must grasp every opportunity. We cannot rest while this enigma is unsolved; regardless of its nature, it is enough to terrify the stars themselves.

~ Senior Researcher Micheal A. Forth, Head of Foundation Extraterrestrial Affairs

Addendum.2: The following log is of a discussion between Researcher Embrey and O5-Liason Collin Brewer, aboard Station ϗ-Duplic on 12/06/2001. Given the significance to the later modifications of the station, it is transcribed here for archival purposes.

<Begin Log>

Researcher Embrey: So, are we, ah, doing this again?

O5-Liason Brewer: I'm afraid so.

Agent ███████: [Speaking over portable radio] «Stand by for shield removal. Embrey, get yourself prepared for the impact — we're going down to 75% empathetic shielding this time. Systems engaged, shielding down in three, two, one…»

[Researcher Embrey is observed shuddering, and waits approximately two minutes before speaking.]

Researcher Embrey: I… I'm definitely getting it. Getting something. It's like before, but… different. Sharper.

O5-Liason Brewer: It's fear, then? Apprehension about something in the near future? The initial summary was right?

Embrey: Oh definitely, no doubt about it, but… wait, hold on. I'm, I'm almost… almost there.

Brewer: …how do you mean? Have you found any hint at what these things are afraid of? I know empathetic communication's not a fine art, but what is? At this point we'd be happy with any data we can get. You said the feelings were strong, right, so maybe you can-

Embrey: Hold up. [pause] I think… we should leave. They were right about the preliminary thoughts, but… we should go. Fairly soon, if possible.

Brewer: What? I'm not sure I, ah, quite understand.

[Researcher Embrey turns to face the window of SCP-XXXX-1.2, before grimacing and returning to face Researcher Brewer.]

Embrey: We shouldn't be here. We really, really shouldn't. It's not… not right. ███████, please raise the shields. I'm getting a migraine.

Agent ███████: «Raising shields in five. All personnel please disconnect all psychic tethers, unless you want to end up with half a brain and the world's worst headache.»

Brewer: Look Embrey, I appreciate it's a sensitive… thing you do here, but I need you to be frank with me. I'm eager to get back to base as much as the next man, but I need something to tell people.

[Researcher Embrey sighs, and leans towards Brewer before whispering in their ear. Due to the low sensitivity of recording equipment, the nature of the discourse was not audible.]

Brewer: Oh. Oh, I see. Hah, well I guess that explains the fear. Of course they're scared — who wouldn't be? It's gotta be an intimidating, uh, experience, I guess.

Embrey: Precisely my thinking.

Brewer: Alright, I'll let them know. It shouldn't be too hard to make the necessary changes to the station — some plastic sheets over the windows here and there. Things like this, I feel, are probably best left alone. "Other side of the universe" alone.

Embrey: Agreed. From what we've seen of bodies like this so far it's hardly a common occurrence, so the feelings are… understandable, I suppose. [Embrey rubs their temples, and sighs] Is that all you need?

Brewer: I think so, yes. [Brewer looks to the window and grins] And now, I think, we should give the couple some privacy, don't you?

<End Log>

Following this incident and a unanimous Ethics Committee vote, all portions of SCP-XXXX-1.2 and ϗ-Duplic permitting direct viewing of SCP-XXXX-2 have been covered or removed. No other observations or investigations into SCP-XXXX-2 are deemed necessary, and the maintenance and expansion of Station ϗ-Duplic is to continue as normal.

TODO: Something with bright lights that causes the development and harvesting of miniature civilisations. The light gets impossibly bright, the civilisation disappears, repeat. The Foundation limits the brightness to observe it, and sees it being harvested by unknown entities. Insert vague creepy religious writing.

SCP-XXXX is an operating theatre located in a former hospital in ████████, England. SCP-XXXX is entirely non-anomalous save for the lighting system and operating table, both of which act in conjunction with one another.

The following document (as-of 24/10/2042) is wholly or partially irrelevant and inaccurate, and refers to an anomaly no-longer in existence. It should not, therefore, be considered an active threat or necessitate any expenditure of resources. See the current SCP-XXXX file for more details.

~ Site Director M. Collins

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe Neutralised

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a secure storage locker at Site-46. Under no circumstances are any personnel to directly view SCP-XXXX outside of approved testing. Handling of SCP-XXXX is to be limited to personnel with level 3+ clearance, and no record of psychological abnormalities.

Descriptions of all new interpretations of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be recorded in Document-XXXX-A.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a small, cylindrical glass jar, with physical and chemical properties matching non-anomalous glass. SCP-XXXX has a small chip it its bottom surface, but otherwise displays no identifying marks or brands. Despite being confirmed non-sentient, SCP-XXXX constantly emits a low-level telepathic disturbance, similar to that of a small insect. The cause of this disturbance is unknown. Personnel report extreme senses of trepidation and fear when instructed to make contact with SCP-XXXX; whether this is an instinctive subconscious response or a product of SCP-XXXX's innate telepathic field is unknown. Due to consistent complications, SCP-XXXX has not yet been opened.

SCP-XXXX-1 is a physically ambiguous substance contained within SCP-XXXX, and is by nature unidentifiable. To clarify: any subject viewing SCP-XXXX (and by extension, SCP-XXXX-1) will perceive the jar as containing a specific substance; the exact nature of this substance, however, varies between viewings and subjects. This effect extends to any visual media depicting SCP-XXXX, as well as images identified by the subject as representing the object.

While no consistent pattern has been observed in SCP-XXXX-1 interpretations, certain qualities are frequently observed. For more information, see the SCP-XXXX experiment log.

Abridged Experiment Log for SCP-XXXX:

Subject: D-014323

Procedure: D-014323 was asked to describe the contents of SCP-XXXX-1 on three separate occasions. The subject was not given information about the anomaly.

Results: SCP-XXXX was perceived as containing horseradish sauce, jam, and pickled onions. When informed that all three instances were the same jar, D-014323 expressed mild confusion.

---

Subject: D-000276, D-022390

Procedure: Both subjects were allowed to view SCP-XXXX simultaneously. D-000276 had been informed that the jar contained only water prior to the experiment.

Results: D-000276 perceived SCP-XXXX-1 as a small quantity of water and a living fish of unknown species. D-022390 reported that SCP-XXXX was filled with lentils. The experiment was halted after an argument between the subjects resulted in D-000276 physically assaulting D-022390. Further experiments with multiple subjects (especially those with a history of anger management issues) is not recommended.

---

Subject: D-108848

Procedure: Subject was allowed to view SCP-XXXX-1, after previously being told by various personnel that SCP-XXXX contained a number of different substances (including rice, vinegar, mustard, and marmalade).

Results: D-108848 became distressed, attacking nearby staff. When later questioned, the subject refused to describe SCP-XXXX-1, and became largely unresponsive. D-108848 had undergone psychiatric evaluation prior to the test, and Dr. Embrey (the Site-46 head psychologist) reported that they had been irrationally fixated on the possibility of seeing their children (currently unaware of the subject's D-Class status) once more. Aside from this, no abnormalities in the subject's physical or mental health had been recorded. Further research is not recommended without drastically increased security.

Incident Log XXXX-1, 24/10/20##:

On 24/10/2042, at approximately 14:10, SCP-XXXX was due to be transferred to a testing chamber (Chamber 46-91b), under the observation of Dr. Webster and Junior Researcher Brewer. This transfer was fully authorised by all necessary parties.

At 14:19, due to an unprecedented power failure, SCP-XXXX was released from its transfer unit and fell to the floor. Due to a loss of non-essential communications at this point, the nature of events following this is unknown, but it is presumed that SCP-XXXX was broken in the ensuing confusion.

Following the formation of the current SCP-XXXX entity, and the loss of Site-46, a state of emergency was declared, and all surrounding buildings were evacuated. The fate of involved personnel is not yet known. The deletion of the previous SCP-XXXX file (re-titled to SCP-XXXX-ARC to avoid confusion) is currently awaiting approval.

Item #: SCP-XX00X

Object Class: Keter

Secure Containment Procedures: Due to lack of relevant information, no plan for the containment of SCP-XXXX has been devised at time of writing.

[component:heading not found]: SCP-XXXX is an anomaly manifesting within the central testing area of former Foundation Site-46. The precise nature of SCP-XXXX is not currently known, but the entity is presumed to be semi-sentient and possess extensive anomalous control within the region.

Despite the lack of any high-tier shielding within Site-46, the anomaly has not yet breached containment. the anomaly shows no signs of manifesting directly outside the containment area.

The effects of SCP-XXXX documented so far are as follows:

• The ability to manipulate certain aspects of reality within a small area.
• The complete prevention of all access to, or exit from, Site-46.
• The alteration of documentation directly related to the anomaly [[footnote]]Note that these alterations appear to be low-level corruption, and pose little or no threat to Foundation staff. A method of automatically detecting alterations has not yet been devised, as all computer systems register the document as unchanged.[[/footnote]].

DOCUMENT-SCP-XXXX-B, PAGE [1/1]

Standard External Alert Record [Site-46, post-separation] – Transcript as follows:

Alert [1], [24/10/2042]: “Emergency communication systems active. Testing of anomaly continues as normal. Observed anomalous properties recorded in attached document. No abnormal occurrences observed. Attempts to exit region unsuccessful.”

Alert [2], [25/10/2042]: “Testing of anomaly continues as normal. Further anomalous properties recorded in attached document. No abnormal occurrences observed. Attempts to exit region unsuccessful.”

Alert [3], [26/10/2042]: “Testing of anomaly continues as normal. No further anomalous properties observed. No abnormal occurrences observed. Attempts to exit region unsuccessful.”

Alert [4], [27/10/2042]: “Testing of anomaly continues as normal. No further anomalous properties observed. Brief power failure at 2045. Attempts to exit region unsuccessful, requesting evacuation.”

Alert [5], [28/10/2042]: “Testing of anomaly continues as normal. Further anomalous properties recorded in attached document. Loss of Junior Researcher Brewer and D-10945 during testing. Attempts to exit region unsuccessful.”

Alert [6], [30/10/2042]: “Testing of anomaly postponed. Stage 2 anomaly manifested fully in central containment chamber, death of two D-Class personnel. No further abnormal occurrences observed. Attempts to exit region remain unsuccessful.”

Alert [7], [01/11/2042]: “Testing of anomaly remains postponed. Worries over possible containment breach into main site. Memetic hazard partially countered by on-site shielding. Power failure at 1305. Attempts to exit region unsuccessful.”

Alert [8], [03/11/2042]: “Testing of anomaly postponed for foreseeable future. Worries over possible containment breach continue. Loss of D-00890 due to contact with central anomaly, records in attached document. Attempts to exit region unsuccessful.”

Alert [9], [06/11/2042]: “Testing of anomaly officially discontinued, recommending upgrade to Provisional Keter. Minor containment breach confirmed. Manifestations continue with worrying regularity. Our attempts to exit region remain unsuccessful, and we're reiterating our desire for emergency evacuation.”

Alert [10], [09/11/2042]: “Increased memetic effects render all standard communication ineffective. All possible exit points are also affected, and are no longer perceivable from interior. Power failures continue. Containment breach confirmed with severity level 3. All present persons report a strong desire for emergency evacuation, as soon as possible.”

Alert [11], [12/11/2042]: “The memetic shielding has begun to fail, possibly sabotaged by anomaly via unknown means. Separation of corridors 02 through 08, personnel affected deemed MIA. See attached document. Attempts to exit region remain (predictably) unsuccessful.”

Alert [12], [15/11/2042]: “Backup generators are online, but damaged. Breach severity level 5. Loss of Collins, Webster, D-03012, D-39284. Database corrupted, so we're acting based on paper copies.”

Alert [13], [19/11/2042]: “Discussions as to possible survival chances show increased paranoia and fear among personnel, myself included. Anomaly remains apparently inactive, for the most part. Evacuation is needed desperately.”

Alert [14], [26/12/2042]: “Alerts back online, loss of ~20% of staff and ~75% class-D. Anomaly has separated groups of us. Believed to be directly memetic in form, creating appearance of solidity. Inability to perceive or locate the site exits is most likely due to vague sentience; unfortunately no further research is possible. Memetic shielding down to .2, no backup available. I don't think it's sabotage, just wear and tear on prison bars. This thing's trying to get out.”

Alert [15], [29/12/2042]: “Me, Brewer, Collins and 12390 recovered bodies of three others. Turns out Wright was a manifestation as well, or rather the manifestation was him. I think. I don't know who I am any more, not really. We've got a vague idea of what this thing is now. Breach level 8, no plan to recover. The walls appear to be shifting, reports of mutiny in East wing. Collins says he's been here for years. Years. He certainly looks it. Exit attempts remain entirely unsuccessful, as they have been for a long, long time."

Alert [16], [01/01/2043]: "Discovered bodies of D-00890 and Collins. My memories of the whole thing are hazy. Memetic hazard is greater than we first expected, apparently. Apparitions appear solid, indistinguishable from the real thing. Or the real thing is the thing that's indistinguishable. Our empath-readers all overloaded yesterday. Prognosis: the emotional equivalent of background static, turned up to 11. Take that for what it's worth."

Alert [15], [04/02/2043]: "Brewer was one of them. We shot him in the head and he carried on laughing. The anomaly has expanded to the entire site, but it still seems contained. Somehow. I recommend the designation of Site-46 as SCP-class anomaly in itself, given the lack of spread outside. Why is that? Why hasn't it broken out? Memetic shielding has been lost entirely, in case anyone still cares.”

Alert [16], [17/02/2043]: “Holding off in control room, supplies expected to last ~2 weeks. Recommend nuclear detonation/emergency evacuation. We were wrong about what this thing was. It's not holographic, it's entirely cognitohazardous. Or infohazardous. You opened up a thing that roots around inside your mind and makes you see what isn't there. Or, it makes you think that you're seeing it. When you take the concepts of 'you', and 'them', and 'me', and 'jam' and rice and children and you mash them up and smear them out, what then? What's left? A bunch of ghosts with your friends' faces and a place with no exit, because deep down we know we're going to die in here.”

Alert [17], [18/02/2043]: “When is a door not a door? If you were coming down to our world, our reality, to watch us, what would you do? You'd be inconspicuous, hide yourself as something we'd expect to see, like a jar of horseradish sauce. Even better, you'd edit yourself constantly to make yourself perfect for whatever scenario you were in. The ultimate camouflage. Except this thing doesn't get how we work. At least, not on the inside.”

Alert [18], [20/02/2043]: “That's what this is. It's our thoughts, bouncing and echoing around our heads. You broke its jar, it broke ours. It reaches out and plucks at our thoughts and throws them back in our face. We see what we expect, but it's looking at our head through a kaleidoscope. We don't know what our subconsciouses are doing half the time, and the other half we're scared of them."

Alert [19], [22/02/2043]: “We're just ones and zeros, trapped in an echo chamber, blipping away in the night. "

[RECORDS CORRUPTED]

Alert [#0], [09/09/20—]: “I've met up with Collins, Mike, and 002902. We've decided to blow it up. We know this place was meant to contain, so this thing can't escape, because we have faith that the system works. Mike's pretty sure he's a manifestation, but none of us really mind. He's dreaming of himself, which is good enough for the anomaly. He says he's just a feedback loop, but he was smiling as he said it. So that's okay. Don't worry about security breaches. We're just breaking a bigger jar this time.”

Alert [FINAL], [19/-2/2#—]: “Nuclear warhead successfully armed. All on-site anomalies have been decommed or secured accordingly. There's no way anything is going to survive that blast. We can't leave while this thing is alive, and we're just going to keep rebounding off our own heads until it's free. So we'll go down fighting instead. See you on the other side.”

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: This section of Document-SCP-XXXX is currently locked. To view the containment procedures for [ITEM SCP-XXXX], please log in as a member of staff with Level-3 clearance/

Description: SCP-XXXX is a pseudo-sapient memetic construct, capable of manifesting via 'attachment' to one or more concepts or ideas. Manifestation is difficult to counteract, but not impossible (See Procedure XXXX-ASKEW).

When embedded in a memetic construct (henceforth designated SCP-XXXX-1) SCP-XXXX will cause a severe alteration in the global perception of said object. This alteration universally results in the viewing of SCP-XXXX-1 as in some way erroneous or wrong, with the severity of this view varying between individuals.

It is currently unknown whether SCP-XXXX is possessing of a mindset capable of negotiation, discussion, or the perception of the physical realm. However, due to the success of Procedure XXXX-ASKEW in the experimental stage, it can be safely assumed that the entity is in some way able to process thought in a logical manner, and is able to derive meaning from patterns and memetic agents.

Procedure XXXX-ASKEW:

[collapsible show="► Show Procedure XXXX-ASKEW summary" hide="◄ Hide Procedure XXXX-ASKEW summary"]

In order to coerce SCP-XXXX into various concepts considered 'desirable' by the Foundation, a stable combination of various memetic signifiers is currently in development. Through the attachment of the resulting memetic agent (designated ASKEW-9a) to SCP-XXXX-1 instances and other sources in relative informational proximity, it seems SCP-XXXX's movement and manifestation can be controlled and directed.

Research and development into the perfection of Procedure XXXX-ASKEW is to be considered a [BEIGE]-level priority. The R&D portion of this project has been completed successfully. ASKEW-9a is now considered stable enough for testing.

[/collapsible]

Experiment Log XXXX (Abridged):

Foreword: Experiment conducted with deliberately obscure target to minimise civilian exposure. To be considered a baseline for future testing.

Target: The concept of a small red dot surrounded by the text "htaed rof pots ton dluoc I esuaceB"

Results: All personnel present reported disgust towards the image, with many experiencing emotional distress and nausea.

Foreword: Experiment conducted to test the effect of physical proximity on SCP-XXXX's effects.

Target: The concept of an image of Researcher Davidson wearing a blue necktie.

Results: Subjects stationed at Site-40 (situated over 10,000 km away) reported strong aversion to such an image ever being produced. When shown such an image, subjects appeared to grow angry, expressing murderous intent towards the photographer, Researcher Davidson, and the manufacturer of the necktie in question.

Notes: It is worth pointing out that, upon being shown the image, Researcher Davison became severely depressed, and experienced what can only be described as an existential crisis. They are currently on suicide watch, and are to be prevented from wearing any neckties, regardless of colour.

Meaningless

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained in an item-storage locker at Site-34 at the centre of a containment chamber, maintaining a distance of (at minimum) 16 m from the object to the walls. Under no circumstances are any subjects to attempt to a) describe SCP-XXXX outside of officially certified documentation, or b) view SCP-XXXX directly.

Until a method of reversing SCP-XXXX's effects is devised, staff exhibiting contamination are to be quarantined, and allowed to perform paperwork administration at Level 1 security classification.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a portrait of a woman. SCP-XXXX possesses two abnormalities: firstly, no viewer will be able to describe the features of the woman presented to any degree of accuracy. For all intents and purposes, the subject of the portrait will remain entirely unrecognised. While computer analysis has resulted in the confirmation of a match to one Angela Peake, recently deceased, the effects are such that no resemblance has been observed by any human viewing the object.

SCP-XXXX's effects also result in an inability to use adjectives while describing the object. This extends to all text, speech, and information relayed via other media, and a limit to the range of the prohibition has not been found. Note that any documentation even tangentially related to SCP-XXXX will also be affected, resulting in difficulties across the database. Adverbs, thankfully, are still able to be used.

The theory currently under investigation is that SCP-XXXX somehow possesses a negatively quantified meaning: if the level of 'meaning' inherently present in a work of art is ordered on a scale accordingly, SCP-XXXX would contain a quantity of meaning lower than something considered to have no meaning at all. Due to the difficulties currently occurring when describing SCP-XXXX, this hypothesis has not been verified as of the time of writing.

Addendum-1 (Recovery): The item was recovered at an anart exhibition in Hereford, England. SCP-XXXX drew comment after critics acquired an inability to comment on the quality or composition of either the object itself, or any pieces located in the vicinity. Despite confusion, SCP-XXXX was successfully recovered, and amnestics were successfully dispensed to all who attended.

Addendum-2 (Update): The effect of SCP-XXXX has been discovered to 'contaminate' objects located within a range of approximately fifteen metres. Three D-Class personnel are currently infected, and cannot be described using adjectives, pronouns, or prepositions. Termination requests are pending for all three.

Additionally, the containment chamber housing SCP-XXXX seems to not possess any adjectives. HMCL supervisors currently cannot rectify the situation, so the containment procedures have been updated accordingly. Research into a way to reverse the effects of the object is currently being performed.

Addendum-3 (Update): Adjectives, adverbs, proper nouns, conjunctions have lost usability. Documentation written in past retains its form, staff forbidding edits. Correlation observed: increase in⁷ viewers causes acceleration in loss of phrases. Trend expected to continue, researchers forbid multitudes of viewings to preserve meaning, ease documenting.

Addenda Numbered Four (Informing): Repeating words now impossibility. Researching teams record updates; requested cessation. Thesaurus infallibility lacking. Difficulties arise. We are tiring wracking brains, verbosity drained.

Some point majority terms decayed. Contingency plans lack coherency, recommending future incineration provided verbs failing.

Appendix (Finality, we are exhausting synonyms): Updating with discovery: excluded from item's property are seven character strings. Reorganise on transcription. Recorded as follows:

Are, We, Cool, Now, You, Pretentious, Dicks?

Intention unknown. Anartist investigation priorities raised alongside guidelines.

Requiem for a Life Unlived

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: All activated SCP-XXXX instances are considered non-anomalous, and are to be stored in the Site-34 library. Non-activated instances are to be stored in a dedicated containment unit, and are currently undergoing testing (see Addendum-1). Under no circumstances are any personnel not involved in testing to write in any instance of SCP-XXXX.

MTF-Chi-9 (“Grammar Police”) is to be notified in the event of any further SCP-XXXX instances located outside of Foundation control. Given the possibility of widespread commercial distribution, this is to be a Code Orange rapid response priority.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 through -1998 are a series of leather-bound books, each titled "The Journal of Somebody Loved". The first page of each SCP-XXXX instance reads: "This is the journal of ", with a blank space following, presumably for the addition of a name. Prior to activation, all additional pages of SCP-XXXX are blank.

When a valid name of any person recently deceased (henceforth referred to as the 'subject') is written on the first page of an SCP-XXXX instance, said instance's anomalous effects will manifest. This effect begins with the alteration of the cover to read "The Journal of [NAME OF SUBJECT]", and the manifestation of a brief passage of text explaining the circumstances of the death of the subject. The length of this passage has been recorded varying from 22 words to over 3 pages, and always culminates in the sentence "Death is always sad, regardless of circumstances, so take solace now in what might have been…" Approximately 2 hours after the appearance of this text, SCP-XXXX-1 will begin to develop.

SCP-XXXX-1 is what appears to be a series of diary entries written in SCP-XXXX by a Class-4 Dependant-Alternate version of the subject (designated subject-a). Pages of SCP-XXXX-1 manifest at a constant rate of one page per minute, with new sheets of paper appearing as needed, up to a limit of 1,024 double-sided sheets. While the content of SCP-XXXX-1 varies, subject-a appears to always record entries from an alternate timeline in which they either recovered from the event that resulted in their death in baseline reality, or never experienced that event at all. The exact method SCP-XXXX instances use for choosing an alternate timeline is unclear, but all activated instances thus far satisfy three conditions:

1. The subject is not, at any point, killed.
2. The subject has regular access to a method of recording journal entries.
3. The subject experiences both a desire to write said entries, and enough mental capacity to do so.

Due to these conditions, the content of SCP-XXXX-1 inevitably deteriorates, resulting in a near-complete lack of narrative clarity. See Addendum-1 for more details.

Addendum-1: On ██/██/████, Agent J. Branston was allowed to utilise an instance of SCP-XXXX in controlled circumstances⁸. An abridged transcript of text produced by this instance (designated SCP-XXXX-49) is available below.

Nothing much is happening at the moment. Boss says I can't come back to work until I'm off crutches, which I suppose is fair enough. It's actually kind of nice not to have any responsibilities. Feels like I can finally enjoy life.

I'm lucky to be alive, really. That accident could have so easily killed me, but instead I'm still here. Still alive. Doing science, you could say. It's nice to know, in any case. Knowing you could be dead gives you a good perspective on how to live your life. Or something. I'm a chemist, not a psychologist; this touchy-feely stuff isn't really my forte.

Jenny's birthday today, so we went to the theatre. She loved it, me less so, but it's her day so I'm not complaining. We left Sam with Jenny's parents, which gave us a welcome break from his incessant wailing. Just kidding Sam, if you're reading this. We love you very much.

Busy week. I got off crutches yesterday, and I can come back to work part time, starting from Monday. Jenny has been lovely as always, really supportive. Hospital says my leg's healing nicely, so I should be free to go in a couple of months. Hooray for modern medicine!

Date: 1st October, 2018

Haven't written in here in a while, but then I suppose nothing noteworthy has really happened. Until today, obviously. A bomb went off in the lab, and I got the full dosage of some chemical. I've been transferred to quarantine until they can work out what I got sprayed with. They're letting me keep this journal though, which is nice of them.

[IRRELEVANT ENTRIES REMOVED]

Date: 28th November, 2018

Still waiting. Jenny's only allowed to come and visit once a week, and it gets boring in the meantime. Hopefully it's not serious: I've been living off borrowed time for a while now, and I was hoping to borrow a bit more. No visible symptoms yet. Not even a sniffle.

Date: 1st December, 2018

They've put me down for termination. Nobody's really explaining why, but apparently I got a sample of something that shouldn't have been there. I've got two weeks left to live. They've bumped visitation up to every other day, so at least I've got company. It's always nice to have someone to talk to, even if they are your stuck-up coworkers.

Date: 13th December, 2018

They've revealed that my ultimate fate is 'death by incineration'. Fun fun fun. They still haven't taken this book off me though, so maybe they're not as heartless as they seem.

Actually, scratch that. They can rot in hell for all I care.

Merry fucking christmas.

Date: 2nd January, 2019

Holy shit, I'm out. Possibly the single greatest containment breach in site history, and I got placed in the middle of it. They've got better things to do than burn me now, so it looks like I'm off the hook. I'm not sticking around to help, they can fix their own messes.

I haven't seen Jenny in weeks, since her transfer. I hope she's okay.

How am I still alive? I really, really shouldn't be. This isn't something anyone should be able to walk away from, let alone someone who's still recovering from a car crash. It's amazing how long ago that feels, actually.

I'm officially on the run now. Jenny, if you're ever reading this, I love you with all my heart.

Date: 4th(?) February, 2018

America's in chaos. As far as I can tell the entire south is under siege, and there's some kind of plague in the east. Britain's preparing for nuclear war, and all contact with Korea is gone. This could be the end. The end of everything. Excuse the melodrama, I haven't been sleeping well.

Dates are… hard to keep track of. I'm still running, but weird shit's happening everywhere so there's not really anywhere safe to run to. I should be dead by now, not that I'm complaining. I think they've confirmed the loss of at least three major sites. This is it.

[IRRELEVANT ENTRIES REMOVED]

Date: Almost 100 days since I passed my Best Before date.

Yeah, seems less. "Fewer", whatever. Still, I'm alive (somehow). Less science being done, but there's endless cake. We may be headed towards destruction, but we won't starve come judgement day.

Date: March, 2019

I got stopped by a bunch of GOC goons. When they found I was Foundation they tried to capture me. I ran away, and every single bullet missed. Something's happening here. Nobody should be this lucky. Nobody human, anyway, and I'm reasonably sure a reality bender wouldn't be scavenging for firewood in the burnt-out husk of a building. I think it used to be a library? It's been stripped to the bone, whatever it was.

Almost forgot to mention, the power's out country-wide. It's difficult to write in the dark.

Date: Maybe april, 2019

Happy Easter to those of us still kicking. You made it through the worst. If you find this diary on my corpse, please be respectful. If you have to eat me for sustenance, try to be dignified about it.

Nothing's really changed for months. Eat, sleep, kill, scavenge, watch as the world burns.

I'm feeling, if not better then at least less insane. I found an old desktop computer in a house, and there was a generator out back. Played a few classic arcade games, it really helps to take the sting out of the apocalypse. Liberated some warmer clothes from the former occupants, and wrote a nice note for whoever visits next telling them to try and beat my high-score. Just because the seas are burning and corpses line the roads doesn't mean you can't have fun, right?

Date: Winter again?

Today the moon exploded. It was spectacular, frankly, and I wish Jenny had been here to see it. She always loved fireworks. About 80% of the world is gone now, and it won't be long until the rest follows.

It sounds ungrateful, but I can't shake the feeling that I shouldn't be alive. A Scenario of this level isn't something a 40-year-old chemist should be able to endure.

Writing from a log cabin. Tried to kill myself but my hands shook too much. Getting cold feet (hahaha) about trying again anyway, so it's probably for the best. Probably.

I think something's wrong with the world. Every time someone shoots me, every time I jump off a building or slit my wrists, I live through it. I've had so many near-death experiences I'm practically the grim reaper's sidekick. It's not anything Scip-worthy either. Me and a few others found an old Hume reader, and I came off as entirely normal non-anomalous.

Date: Does the date even matter any more, now there's no warmth? No life, no stars? No people?
I don't think it does, really. Nothing does. It's dark, and cold, and there's nothing around me but ash and bone.

I can't die. That's the only explanation. It's just going to be me, here, until reality gives up and the universe says "fuck it" and collapses. Fuck this.

Untitled Car Scip

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a secure container in the Site-19 anomalous vehicle garage. Under no circumstances are any personnel to interact with SCP-XXXX outside of approved testing, given the high likelihood of sustaining damage to the site itself.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a grey 1998 Buick Century, with a large, hitherto undecipherable glyph inscribed on the underside of the bonnet. When inactive, SCP-XXXX is in near perfect condition, save for a large dent on the front right-side door and the lack of a right-hand wing-mirror. SCP-XXXX's primary anomalous properties are threefold:

Firstly, the doors of SCP-XXXX are incapable of being locked when the vehicle is not in use. Any attempts to secure the doors of SCP-XXXX in such a way as to prevent access have failed, leaving SCP-XXXX open to use at all times. It is currently believed that this is to allow easier access to SCP-XXXX, as its baseline state includes a key already inserted into the ignition.

Secondly, any person driving SCP-XXXX for more than ~20 minutes will become involved in an accident, invariably damaging SCP-XXXX to an extent that renders it unusable. The driver of SCP-XXXX during this time will always remain either unharmed or with only superficial injuries. To date, no deaths have occurred as a result of using SCP-XXXX.

Finally, following any such accident, any and all additional damage done to SCP-XXXX will revert over the course of 24 hours, causing SCP-XXXX to return to its baseline state. During this time, SCP-XXXX's horn will sound at irregular intervals, and large amounts of static will be produced by the radio system. All light systems present within SCP-XXXX will activate and deactivate sporadically during this period, and SCP-XXXX's fuel tank and battery will be refuelled and recharged respectively. Any persons still present inside SCP-XXXX will be forcibly ejected prior to this.

Recovery: SCP-XXXX was uncovered from the remains of a house, former residence of the Dawson family. The building had recently been destroyed in a non-anomalous electrical fire, resulting in the presumed deaths of all four family members. Background checks revealed ████████ Dawson, aged 52, had been the owner of SCP-XXXX prior to its acquisition, and during his youth had been engaged in various low-level thaumaturgic phenomena. The relationship, if any, between this and SCP-XXXX is unknown.

Of note is the fact that the body of 19-year-old Jacob Dawson was never uncovered during the fire, and is assumed either destroyed or [REDACTED].

Addendum: On ██/██/████, following standard testing, SCP-XXXX began emitting vocalisations from an unknown source (believed to be the internal radio system). As SCP-XXXX was re-forming during this time, a certain lack of clarity was observed. The vocalisations were produced over the course of ~6 hours, and have been recorded as follows:

00:00 “I'm sorry.”

00:49 “I'm [incoherent] sorry.”

01:18 “I'll never do it again, I promise”

01:49 “Please, [incoherent]”

02:14 “[incoherent]”

02:44 “I've learned my lesson, please.”

03:06 “I didn't mean [incoherent], it was an accident”

03:20 “I'm sorry. I'll pay [incoherent] damage.”

03:59 “[incoherent] it would just be for a couple of days”

04:33 “Please Dad, [incoherent] you'd let me out”

05:00 “[incoherent]”

05:29 “I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry.”

06:08 “Dad, please. I want to come home.”

This activity has not been repeated.

Samuel Micheals, Interuniversal Man of Mystery

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: There is currently no know way to contain SCP-XXXX for any length of time exceeding 6 months. Due to the drastically increased numbers of containment breaches that occur while SCP-XXXX is in custody, the current policy is to allow SCP-XXXX to move around largely unhindered, under the surveillance of MTF Delta-1 (“Bit parts”).

SCP-XXXX is to be remanded to Foundation custody once every two months, at whichever XXXX-safe Site is nearest. Direct exposure to SCP-XXXX during this period is to be kept to a minimum, and they are to be held for a period no greater than thirty days (due to this being the point at which a Beta-Green-FOURTH Event becomes inevitable).

During containment, SCP-XXXX is to be held in a standard humanoid containment suite, and delivered meals automatically. Under no circumstances are any critical staff members to converse directly with SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 24-year-old humanoid male by the name of Samuel Micheals. While biologically standard in almost all regards, SCP-XXXX shows a significant probabilistic and reality-altering effect on all people and objects within his immediate vicinity, as well as many people he has previously had no contact with. This effect seems to be largely uncontrolled, but is hastened by direct verbal exchange or physical contact with the entity, with alterations taking between 10 seconds and 30 minutes to manifest.

While the exact nature of these reality alterations has proven impossible to predict, they seems to follow a central theme; namely, SCP-XXXX's placement into and removal from various life-threatening or otherwise dangerous situations. One instance of this cycle (designated a Beta-Green-FOURTH Event) can take anywhere between 3 hours and 30 days to occur, with the probability of such an event increasing exponentially during this time. Of note is the fact that SCP-XXXX is never critically injured at any point, with activities that would kill or otherwise disable non-anomalous humans resulting in only mild wounds, from which SCP-XXXX will easily recover in a matter of days. Following an Event, all changes save for that occurred will be reverted, and affected persons will retain no memory of the event. Note that recordings and descriptions of SCP-XXXX's activities are not altered in any way, and the use of amnestics has been authorised on any observing civilians.

SCP-XXXX was initially recovered from atop the Eiffel Tower, Paris, where they had been chained to what was apparently a large nuclear explosive. The following document is a transcript of an interview conducted a week later:

Interviewed: Samuel Micheals, Provisional Containment #004426/01

Interviewer: Researcher ###### Webster

Foreword: This interview was held following initial containment, but before official SCP classification. SCP-XXXX was not designated an official anomaly until after the events described towards the end of the interview log.⁹

<Begin Log>

Researcher Webster: Hello, ###. Thank you for agreeing to talk to us today.

PC-004426/01: Eh. It's something to do. It'll probably make a satisfying end.

Researcher Webster: An end for what exactly?

PC-004426/01: This bit. This part, this cycle. Whatever you want to call it. You've got to have an end, otherwise what's the point? Not that I see the point anyway, mind you.

Researcher Webster: I… see. You are aware of your apparent effect on the world around you, I assume?

PC-004426/01: Yeah, I guess. It's been happening since I was a kid. I was an orphan, predictably, and my mother was kidnapped by… pirates, I think. Or ninjas. Or both, you can never tell. I was raised by wolves in any case, before being adopted and trained by a “global spy organisation”. It all kind of goes downhill from there. Every fucking day a new fucking adventure.

Researcher Webster: Do you have any idea why this happens? Maybe it could be some kind of subconscious wish fulfilment?

PC-004426/01: Jesus Christ, you think I want this shit? I can't hold down a job without taking down a whole fucking corporation, and my last three girlfriends are being held hostage on a mountain somewhere. It's hell, frankly. All I want is to make some attempt at a normal life. I know it's cliché, but dear god do I want out of this.

Researcher Webster: Oh, but ######, we can't possibly let you leave.

PC-004426/01 What? Oh crap, not you too. Please don't do this.

Researcher Webster: [laughs] You insult me if you think we would let you leave so easily. It seems once again that you have failed to grasp the full gravity of your situation.

PC-004426/01: Look, if you're going to do this scene, can you at least get on with this spiel quickly and send me to my cell in peace? I was hoping to get through this with just a montage, maybe a love-affair. I don't need the evil scientist bit too. Please.

Researcher Webster: Oh, were it so simple. You see, while you've been chatting, we've devised a way to harness your brainwaves, using your secret potential to destroy [pause for dramatic effect] the very PLANET EARTH ITSELF!! Yes, it will be delightfully ironic. The dashing Dr. ######## being used as a weapon against everything he's worked for! [brief maniacal laugh]

PC-004426/01: Do you realise how stupid that sounds, how obviously that doesn't make sense? Who are you people? Why do you want to destroy the world? None of this makes any rational connection to reality! What the hell is wrong with you people? I don't, I just… I don't know what to do. It just keeps going.

Researcher Webster: Scream all you want, our plan is already in action. Our forces are being mobilised across the country, and there's nothing you can do to stop them!

PC-004426/01: God-dammit. [turns to the security feed] Can one of you other assholes come in and restrain him? You can't all be stupid enough to fall for this, right? I am right, aren't I? I… I've never done this with so many people before. There must be a limit, a buffer. It's been, uh, four or five at the most, usually. Please, someone out there must know what's going on. You have to.

Researcher Webster: Oh, but it is you who will be restrained here, Dr. #######. [pulls aside curtain, pause for audience gasp] For you see, we have your lover, the gorgeous Miss #####, right here, attached to our Killatron Five-Thousand™!! It would be an awful, awful shame if you were to let her be… decapitated [pause for boos from audience, allow dramatic glare from Micheals]

PC-004426/01 I'm not a doctor, and I've never seen that woman in my life. Just let me go, please. I don't want to do this any more.

Nefarious Professor Webster: [to henchmen] Take Dr. ####### and harvest his living brain! The planet will be destroyed!

Henchman #1: [speaking with lisp] Yes master, as you command.

PC-004426/01: Oh god, please, not this again. I just want to rest, please.

[right-hand wall of Chamber explodes, green light floods in. Enter Glarflaxian #1, Glarflaxian #2, and Glarflaxian Pilot #1]

Nefarious Professor Webster: [gasp, shields eyes] What on Earth is that?! Or perhaps… no, it can't be. And yet, it is! This isn't something from Earth at all! This is something [pause] alien…

Glarflaxian Pilot #1: [heavy breathing, distorted speech] ###### ########, you are coming with us. The fate of the galactic empire may lie in your hands.

PC-004426/01: Oh, for the love of -

[Micheals is cut off as green light fills the chamber, and theme tune plays. Screen fade to black, display end-card]

Closing Statement: Immediately following SCP-XXXX's 'abduction', all recording devices present in the interview chamber failed simultaneously. Most notably, all security footage was replaced by a single black screen, edged in white, with a large banner displaying the following text:

Thunder Lizard Correction Bubble

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be surrounded by a 4m high perimeter fence, with manned outposts situated every km. These are to be staffed by no fewer than 5 agents proficient with a range of firearms. Under no circumstances are any civilians to be allowed to observe SCP-XXXX directly; a cover story of nuclear weapons testing may be used to discourage civilians, and amnestics are to be distributed on a case-by-case basis.

Should any SCP-XXXX-1 instance breach said fence, they are to be immediately terminated, and their corpses returned to SCP-XXXX prior to the next XXXX-Upsilon Event. In the event that these measures prove impossible, standard precautions against the retrocausal alteration of established history are to be taken.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a large (~14 km in diameter) hemispherical area, focused around the direct centre of the Chicxulub crater, Mexico. The interior of SCP-XXXX appears to be the focus of a spatio-temporal anomaly, resulting in a divergent timeline. Though the exact point of divergence cannot be determined, it is believed that the key difference is the lack of a K-Pg extinction event¹⁰. The net result of this alteration is an enormous difference to the planet's biodiversity, and the lack of any dominant species. Instances of lifeforms within SCP-XXXX (designated SCP-XXXX-1) show evolutionary traits suggesting prevalent avian and reptilian ancestry, with very low levels of mammalian characteristics.

From within SCP-XXXX it is possible to observe the rest of the area as it exists in this alternate timeline (designated Ti[XXXX-alpha]), though not interact with it: any entity leaving SCP-XXXX prior to an XXXX-Upsilon Event will exit into standard reality.

What separates SCP-XXXX from most Temporal Alteration Zones of this type is the presence of a 'correction' period (each period being referred to as an XXXX-Upsilon Event). For a period of around 20 minutes (between 12:46 and 13:06 local time), any foreign objects introduced into SCP-XXXX will be modified to better coincide with established history. This also applies to objects extracted from SCP-XXXX, though to a somewhat lesser extent (see Addendum.1). These changes are permanent, persisting after an XXXX-Upsilon Event, and appear to 'lock' an object to the relevant timeline: objects present in baseline reality following an Event will be unable to fully return to Ti[XXXX-alpha] unless exposed to a second Event. The specifications by which SCP-XXXX alters biological subjects is unknown, but it seems to be along parallel lines of evolution, with as few diversions as possible (see extended test log).

Addendum.1: Abridged log of experiments conducted with SCP-XXXX.

Experiment: XXXX-04.1
Date: ##/##/####
Subject: One piece of A4 paper containing information about SCP-XXXX.
Procedure: Object was placed inside SCP-XXXX, and allowed to remain during an XXXX-Upsilon Event.
Results: Object was replaced with a large palm frond, and a small quantity of juice from a nearby fruit tree.
Notes: SCP-XXXX appears to correct objects based on their physical characteristics, rather than their chemical composition. From where SCP-XXXX obtains this extra mass is unknown.

Experiment: XXXX-12.1
Date: ##/##/####
Subject: One common rat (Rattus Norvegicus).
Procedure: Subject was escorted into SCP-XXXX and restrained during an XXXX-Upsilon Event
Results: Subject metamorphosed into a small, vaguely mammalian creature. Subject exhibited a thicker, scaled tale and abnormal bone structure.
Notes: Subject designated T-XXXX-12.1-a for the purposes of continued experimentation.

Experiment: XXXX-12.2
Date: ##/##/####
Subject: T-XXXX-12.1-a
Procedure: Subject was escorted from SCP-XXXX to a secure containment area, and restrained during an XXXX-Upsilon Event.
Results: Subject metamorphosed into a common rat with white fur. Note that prior to experiment XXXX-12.1, the rat had exhibited brown colouration.
Notes: It was later discovered that papers confirming the rat was originally brown had been replaced, instead specifying white. Members of staff report that the rat was being restrained for a medical examination, instead of experimentation. Further research into SCP-XXXX's ability to perpetrate retrocausal changes to the timeline is recommended.

Experiment: XXXX-17.1
Date: ##/##/####
Subject: One domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)
Procedure: Identical to experiment XXXX-12.1
Results: Subject became larger and more muscular, with pale brown plumage and a serrated beak.
Notes: Examination revealed the subject (T-XXXX-17.1-a) was rearing chicks post-conversion. Due to the fact that no mate for T-XXXX-17.1-a had been provided during this time, it seems that SCP-XXXX possesses the ability to alter both the timelines within and without it's area, in order to better 'correct' events. This would explain why organisms inserted into SCP-XXXX show no confusion related to their surroundings; likewise creatures travelling in the opposite direction.

Experiment: XXXX-29.1
Date: ##/##/####
Subject: One SCP-XXXX-1 instance, resembling a large dragonfly.
Procedure: Subject was restrained and forcibly removed from SCP-XXXX.
Results: SCP-XXXX metamorphosed into a specimen of Acanthaeschna victoria, or Thylacine Darner, a species of dragonfly native to Australia. Although staff members clearly remember bringing the specimen onto the site, none were able to provide a suitable explanation as to why.
Notes: It seems that SCP-XXXX's modifications to the timeline are imperfect at best. The current theory is that our complex social heirarchy and bureacracy leave little room for modification, while the interior of SCP-XXXX is easily modified given its reliance on animal instincts. Further study is recommended.

Addendum.2: Incident-XXXX-34.1:

On ##/##/####, several instances of SCP-XXXX-1 breached containment via an imperfection in the perimeter fence. Full containment was eventually re-established, though # SCP-XXXX-1 instances remain unaccounted for.

On a possibly unrelated note, it was discovered post-breach that 31 staff members had been assigned to the research project, rather than the maximum 30. There remains confusion over why Researcher Ricardo Miguel was transferred to the site, as no documents authorising this have been found. Researcher Miguel has since been moved to administrative work, and is being kept under surveillance.

The best thing since

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently contained in the supplementary kitchen for Site-19's cafeteria, which has since been outfitted with a hazardous material air filtration system. The entity is to be supplied with all ingredients listed in Document XXXX-Y-40b monthly, and under no circumstances are any staff to enter said kitchen unsupervised.

Any output of SCP-XXXX (provided through the leftmost serving hatch) is to be removed and either transported immediately to the Site-19 cafeteria or placed in cold storage, as per protocol Upsilon-40. Any anomalous properties related to SCP-XXXX-1 reported by staff (besides those already documented) are to be investigated immediately, and all consumption is to be suspended until they have been either verified or refuted.

A bi-monthly Ethics Committee discussion related to the use of SCP-XXXX is currently in effect, and any staff posted at Site-19 are welcome to attend, provided they have significant enough reasons for the prohibition of SCP-XXXX-1 consumption.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a single continuous mass of Saccharomyces cerevisiae¹¹, currently occupying the supplementary kitchen for Site-19's main canteen area. SCP-XXXX consistently manifests large, crudely humanoid figures (legless, and attached to the central mass via the waist), and it is currently unknown whether these act as separate entities or individual organisms.

When provided with adequate ingredients, SCP-XXXX will begin to produce a range of baked goods, using any suitable equipment in its vicinity to do so and manipulating objects by means of its humanoid protrusions. This product (designated SCP-XXXX-1) displays a number of anomalous properties, all of which are seemingly beneficial to both overall health and workplace morale in human subjects. Subjects consuming SCP-XXXX regularly over the course of several months exhibit:

• Improved resistance to airborne pathogens.
• Increased energy and motivation in various tasks.
• Improved emotional stability and a sense of satisfaction in their daily lives.
• A reduced feeling of animosity towards their co-workers.
• A greater sense of purpose and higher levels of loyalty towards the Foundation.

When not provided with adequate ingredients for the production of SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX will begin to produce pathogenic spores of various species of fungi, and will continue producing them until production of SCP-XXXX-1 can resume. As these spores display a higher level of mobility and virulence than would otherwise be expected, the current Foundation policy is to ensure SCP-XXXX's requirements are met at all times.

Addendum.1: On 21/09/2011, it was decided that the SCP-XXXX-1 produced by SCP-XXXX was to be served to a small group over the course of the following 6 months. When no negative side effects were observed in any subjects, protocol Upsilon-40 was implemented. The protocol (outlined in Document XXXX-Y-40a) is for any and all SCP-XXXX-1 to be supplied to staff currently posted at Site-19.

Plans to export SCP-XXXX-1 to other Foundation sites are currently undergoing consideration by the Foundation Catering and Logistics team.

Addendum.2: Update to protocol Upsilon-40, 19/12/2011:

Due to the recent disappearances of █ D-class personnel and the discovery of large calcium deposits within ovens utilised by SCP-XXXX, protocol Upsilon-40 will be suspended for an indefinite amount of time. An investigation into SCP-XXXX's possible secondary anomalous properties is ongoing, and is expected to take between 6 and 8 weeks.

Addendum.3: Update to protocol Upsilon-40, 14/02/2012:

Following the completion of the aforementioned investigation, SCP-XXXX is to be supplied with 15 kg of desiccated bone tissue once a month. Document XXXX-Y-40b has been updated to reflect this, and any complaints may be brought up at any time with the on-site HMCL supervisor.

Mister Prototype

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a Standard Humanoid Containment Suite, located in the low-risk sector of Site-06-3. SCP-XXXX does not require feeding, but is to be allowed certain meals on request as a reward for good behaviour.

In order to prevent suicidal tendencies, SCP-XXXX is to be provided with at least two 'viewing sessions' each day, with various members of staff showing an interest in marine biology. Personnel are advised not to mention any information related to GOI-07 during these sessions, as this has a tendency to reduce SCP-XXXX's morale significantly, resulting in less cooperation with staff.

Under no circumstances are any sapient anomalies related to GOI-07 to be informed of SCP-XXXX's existence.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an adult male human of average build, height, and weight. SCP-XXXX speaks British English with a slight French accent, and is of normal intelligence for their supposed age (between 20 and 25).

SCP-XXXX possesses entirely normal internal biology save for the thoracic and upper-abdominal cavities, which are devoid of the organs they would normally contain. Instead, the area is filled with a fluid nearly identical in composition to sea-water (though with above-average concentration of certain nutrients and salts), as well as various forms of sea-life. To complement this, SCP-XXXX's chest region appears to have been modified with a transparent viewing screen, through which the cavity can be observed; it is unknown from what material this window is constructed, as it has thus far resisted all forms of damage applied.

Despite no obvious entry points into SCP-XXXX's central reservoir (the trachea, oesophagus, and all blood vessels appearing to have been sealed off), the lifeforms contained within appear to manifest and de-manifest at random, and the fluid filling the cavity replenishes presumably by the same mechanism. Investigations into the preservation of dying tissue by similar means is currently pending Ethics Committee review.

Despite their abnormal biology, SCP-XXXX is fully sapient and healthy, and is aware of both their origin and current condition (see addendum). SCP-XXXX displays acute monophobia, as well as severe anxiety issues related to betrayal and abandonment. SCP-XXXX's mood has been shown to greatly improve when around people expressing interest in marine lifeforms, and they have been removed from suicide watch following the introduction of regular 'viewing sessions' with various personnel.

Addendum: Interview with SCP-XXXX following initial containment.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Researcher Collins

Foreword: The following interview was conducted immediately after acquisition, and prior to the entity being given SCP status.

<Begin Log>

Researcher Collins: “Good evening. Would you mind telling us a little bit about yourself?”

SCP-XXXX: “I, uh, I suppose not. I'm a Little Mister, I think, or I was meant to be. Of course, you guys already know about all that. I used to have 'Mr. Aquarium' written on my back, instead of 'defect'. I was… what, series 4? Series 5? Early days, the project was still gathering steam. A lot of… conflicts.”

Researcher Collins: “I see. So you were created by the entity known as Doctor Wondertainment?”

SCP-XXXX: “…yeah, I suppose you could say that. I doubt the Doctor had much of a say in my design though. I never even knew what he looked like, let alone saw him myself. I don't think he liked me much.”

Researcher Collins: “Oh? Why do you say that?”

SCP-XXXX: “We were lined up, against a wall. All of us, probably about thirty or forty in total. There were men there, with clipboards and pads of notes and Doctor Wondertainment Office-Brand Fun Pens. They took some of them away, and left others. I was left, I think. It's all very… hazy? Like when you wake up from a dream, you know?”

Researcher Collins: “I think I do. So what happened next?”

SCP-XXXX: “We were blindfolded. I think… doctor, I think they meant to kill us. Yes, almost definitely. I'm remembering now. I heard bangs, and I dropped to the floor. It's reflexive, you know? I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, and if there's one thing being a Mister teaches you, it's how to lay low. Anyway, when I came to, there… there were bodies. Catalyst, Torque, Dream, they were all just lying there. I think I just ran, then, until you found me.”

Researcher Collins: “I'm very sorry to hear that you had to experience this. I understand how it would be a difficult topic for you, so we can take a break if you want. No?. Well then, if you don't mind me asking, do you know why you weren't…”

SCP-XXXX: “Murdered? Yeah, I do. They forgot about the glass in my chest, and the bullet ricocheted off it. Ironic really. Or maybe not, I don't really know. Probably some poetic justice there somewhere.”

Researcher Collins: “They… forgot about it?”

SCP-XXXX: “Look, I said there were conflicts. People were getting protective of their ideas, hoarding research. The place was in chaos, hardly anyone knew what was going on with most of the 'anomalies', as I believe you call them. It's a good word, actually. Fitting, almost the same as 'mistake'. But yeah, management cracked down and killed off the rejects, as best I can recall. It… it wasn't pleasant.”

Researcher Collins: “I should expect not. Do you have any idea why you were… treated in this manner?”

SCP-XXXX: “I guess kids these days just don't like fish tanks any more. The Doctor seems to know what kids like. And, uh, doctor? Can I ask something?”

Researcher Collins: “Yes?”

SCP-XXXX: “I know you've got some of the others here. The… successful ones. I'd be obliged if you didn't let them know about me. As much as I hate Wondertainment, they… they don't need the grief. It's not their fault. They didn't ask for this.”

Researcher Collins: “I'll pass it on.”

<End Log>

Closing Statement: When prompted following the interview, SCP-XXXX was able to regurgitate a small, crumpled document. It has been rendered partly illegible by water damage, and appears to list the 'designations' of over 40 entities believed to be similar to SCP-XXXX. Only two of these correspond with names on Document 909-a. An Ethics Committee-led investigation into GOI-07, “Doctor Wondertainment” is currently ongoing.

Alert [34], [27/12/20██]: “Previously unidentified entity seen exiting anomaly. Humanoid, ~2m tall. Wearing brown cloak, facial structure not unlike a human's. Entity appeared to be holding input from test 56b. Entity exits Zone-0 before it can be apprehended. Pursuit ongoing”

Alert [34], [27/12/20██]: “Pursuit was partially successful. Entity exits with output 56b, leaving input 56b in its place. Agent Webster attempted to retain output 56b, cleanup squad dispatched, remains incinerated. Attempts to exit region met with failure once again. Requesting review of previous request.”

Alert [35], [28/12/20██]: “Eight (8) further entities exit anomaly. Entities appear to observe entry of anomaly, before de-manifesting 37 minutes later. Agents Collins and Brewer instructed to apprehend Entity-2, cleanup squad dispatched, remains incinerated. Still attempting to exit region, but not hopeful. Urging reconsideration of previous request.”

Alert [36], [30/12/20██]: “Nine (9) entities exit anomaly. Attempt to show me and the other agents a series of photographic images. Dialect and language are unfamiliar, containing full transcript and video for analysis. Images depict a large series of intersecting belts, tubes, cranes and bucket-chains. Clearly identifiable are [REDACTED], believed to be the items the anomaly was intended to transport. Entities leave, after affixing sixteen (16) unidentified objects to various areas of the building. Photographs included. Attempts to exit region unsuccessful.”

Alert [37], [30/12/20██]: “Anomaly existing within luggage carousel de-manifests. Message on paper left behind. Photos included. Attempts to remove or analyse affixed items unsuccessful. Large portion of Site-46 destabilised, partial collapse imminent. Minor seismic tremors constant. Attempts to exit region unsuccessful, though barriers appear to be shifting and deforming.”

Item #: SCP-3856

Object class: Euclid Apollyon

Special Containment Procedures: Personal can tell that SCP-3856 can't be containd but it can be controlled by █████████. The location of █████████ is unavailable to personal. If █████████ died it would comport an instant humanity genocide. SCP-3856 it's to NOT ENTER in contact with SCP-001 or another Apollyon class SCP.

Why SCP-3856 didn't already killed humanity it's unknown.
