Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX's external entrances and exits are to be blocked off from civilian access, with the public explanation that it is a condemned building. Mentions of SCP-XXXX are to be censored from the internet, and surviving former occupants of SCP-XXXX are to be given Class-A amnestics as they are found. Persons found approaching SCP-XXXX with intent to enter are to be given Class-C amnestics and turned away.
Interaction with SCP-XXXX-A instances is forbidden1. Expeditions into SCP-XXXX may be approved by the Lead Researcher on a case-by-case basis.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a five-storey apartment building located at ██, ███████ Drive NW in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, housing thirty-six one-bedroom units. The building also contains a basement that lacks units. The building was completed in September 2014 on a plot of undeveloped land that was previously home to several SCP-XXXX-A entities.
During the night, a number of corporeal entities (SCP-XXXX-A) will materialize in the common areas of the building and proceed to move around SCP-XXXX, including into units that have open doors. SCP-XXXX-A instances are not visible from the exterior of SCP-XXXX, and have not been known to exit the building.
These entities are identified numerically from SCP-XXXX-A1 through SCP-XXXX-A13, with each entity having a unique appearance2. Each instance has a unique behavioural pattern, with most having locations in the building they prefer to wander. SCP-XXXX-A instances acknowledge environmental stimuli such as bright lights and noise, and will universally retreat from such stimuli. For a full list of SCP-XXXX-A instances and their behavioural profiles, see 'SCP-XXXX-A Profiles'.
SCP-XXXX-A entities are believed to materialize and de-materialize when out of view, and are currently not believed to reside in a physical location in SCP-XXXX.
Interaction with an instance of SCP-XXXX-A will cause the subject to slowly transform into an instance of SCP-XXXX-A over the course of 6 hours, during which the subject will feel a strong urge to return to SCP-XXXX. If the subject is unable to reach SCP-XXXX before they fully transform, they will dematerialize almost instantaneously.
SCP-XXXX was discovered following repeated reports of nightly intruders to Edmonton police. The building was subsequently purchased from the original owner and contained.
List of activities that are sufficient to trigger an SCP-XXXX-A instance's effects:
- Attempts at verbal communication
- Physical contact
- Attacking an SCP-XXXX-A instance
- Shining a bright light at an instance
- Loud noises
The following profiles are based on expedition notes, and may not be completely accurate. Many of the instances have only been observed briefly.
SCP-XXXX-A1
Spends most of its time around the hallway outside of apartment #17.
SCP-XXXX-A2
Slowly paces back and forth in an approximately two-metre area near the rear window of the fifth floor.
SCP-XXXX-A3
Has been seen rapidly ascending and descending the stairs between levels four and two3. Is particularly sensitive to disturbances compared to the others. Photograph available in file SCP-XXXX-DOC2.
SCP-XXXX-A4
Unknown. Has only been observed once.
SCP-XXXX-A5
Has only been observed crawling on its limbs, of which it has more than six. Has a tendency to visually fixate on windows. Currently will wander level three's halls unless allowed to gain access to apartment #11: in this case it will stay in the kitchen area of #11 for the duration of the night. Photograph available in file SCP-XXXX-DOC2.
SCP-XXXX-A6
Typically sits cross-legged on the table in the main hall of level four.
SCP-XXXX-A7
Has a tendency to occupy washrooms, if access to one is available. Is one of the few capable of opening doors if unlocked. If the door is locked, SCP-XXXX-A7 will knock before trying a different door. Agents are warned that opening the door for SCP-XXXX-A7 constitutes interaction.
SCP-XXXX-A8
The most human-looking of the instances. Wears a business suit. Wanders the entire building at a brisk pace.
SCP-XXXX-A9
Unknown. Only observed once before.
SCP-XXXX-A10
Tends to stay near the east-facing wall of the basement floor. Visually tracks passing subjects, including other SCP-XXXX-A instances. Photograph available in file SCP-XXXX-DOC2.
SCP-XXXX-A11
Wanders the entire building slowly. Tends to stick close by other SCP-XXXX-A instances.
SCP-XXXX-A12
Consistently attempts to open doors it comes across, and will do this continually throughout the night. If access is gained into a unit, SCP-XXXX-A12 will locate the bedroom. If a human is sleeping in bed, it will stand near their head until they awake. If the subject does not wake by the time the sun rises, SCP-XXXX-A12 will leave the unit. If the subject wakes while SCP-XXXX-A12 is in the room, SCP-XXXX-A12 will block the doorway and produce distressing vocalizations for the remainder of the night. This constitutes interaction.
SCP-XXXX-A13
Unknown. Observed only once. Was noted to have an abormally large stature, in excess of 2 metres tall.
Agents █████ and ████████ were tasked with the initial estabilishment of any anomalies in SCP-XXXX, and were on radio contact with Researcher ██ at the time. Both agents were equipped with cameras and were instructed to take photographs of the area and any anomalies, if possible.
Agent █████: Alright, Corporal █████ checking in.
Agent ████████: Staff Seargent ████████ checking in. We are good to go.
Researcher ██ Alright, enter the building and do a room to room sweep. Take it slow, we don't know what we're going to find.
Agent █████: Probably a couple of hobos and a mountain of beer bottles…
Researcher ██ Cut the chatter and get to work.
[Both agents enter SCP-XXXX through the front entrance. They sweep Unit #1 before reporting in on #2.]
Agent ████████: Looks like #2's been abandoned for some time. There's garbage everywhere. It's a mess.
Agent █████: It stinks in here.
Agent ████████: Yeah well, get used to it. This might be a sign of things to come, if everybody's in such a hurry to get out of here.
[The two agents sweep Units #3-6 before encountering multiple SCP-XXXX-A instances on the second floor]
Agent ████████: [Whispering] Fuck! Get down!
[Several seconds go by before SCP-XXXX-A3 can be heard running down the staircase]
Agent █████: Fuck me! That thing just ran right by us! Do you think it saw us?
Agent ████████: Keep your goddamn voice down! And I don't know, it was moving too fast to tell. Move up and try not to attract the attention of the rest of these… things.
Researcher ██ What exactly are you seeing?
Agent ████████: Several humanoid entities occupying the second floor, sir… they don't seem to care that we're here though. One ran right by us on the stairs. Sir, these things are… disgusting… they're like animal and alien at the same time.
Researcher ██ Proceed with caution. If your lives are in danger, leave the premises immediately. We've already confirmed an anomaly, we don't need to lose you two either.
Agent ████████: Understood.
[Agent ████████ accidentally bumps into SCP-XXXX-A11, causing the instance to flee]
Agent █████: Did you see that? That thing just took off running! You only bumped into it.
Agent ████████: Command, these anomalies seem to be non-hostile. None of them are even acknowledging our presence, and the one that I touched just ran away. They're weird, but ultimately I don't see what the issue is.
Researcher ██ Proceed, Staff Seargent. Scan the entire building.
[the agents continue their search, encountering several other SCP-XXXX-A entities and capturing more photographs.]
Agent █████: Seargent, we've searched all the floors, except for the basement. The floor plan said there are no rooms down there, but it might be worth a shot.
Agent ████████: Command, requesting permission to sweep the basement. All we've found up here are more of these things. None of them have even a passing interest in our presence. I'm also getting a bit of a stomach ache, so I'd like to wrap this up and let the newbies handle containment, if it's alright with you.
Researcher ██ Permission granted. Go check it out.
[The agents retreat down the stairs, eventually reaching the basement floor.]
Agent █████: Man, the lighting is shit down here. I can't see two feet in front of me.
[Agent ████████ turns on his flashlight, illuminating SCP-XXXX-A10]
Agent █████: Oh my god, what the fuck is that thing? It's looking right at us!
Agent ████████: Calm down kid, it's probably no different than the rest of them.
Agent █████: No, I'm serious, look! It's staring right at us! [Agent █████ demonstrates this by moving side to side while SCP-XXXX-A10 tracks him]
Agent ████████: Okay, so it's looking at us. What do you want us to do? It'd probably just run away if I poke it. [Agent ████████ walks closer to SCP-XXXX-A10 and jabs it with the barrel of his assault rifle]
Agent █████: Uh… Sarge? You should turn around…
Researcher ██ What's happening? Are you in danger?
Agent ████████: Uh… well, every entity in this building is in the basement with us now.
Agent █████: We need to leave.
Both agents promptly exited the building. Notably, the only entity not to flee from physical contact was SCP-XXXX-A10.
When they arrived back at the Regional Office, Agent ████████ was rushed to the med bay to due to having bloodshot eyes and blackened skin on the throat. Six hours later he expired. Agent █████ was believed to have not contracted anything due to not having touched any of the entities.
The following are images collected from Expedition [20/03/15] into SCP-XXXX. Agents █████ and ████████ were on duty. Both were able to submit their photos before they expired.

SCP-XXXX-A3

SCP-XXXX-A10
… you still clicked on it, you damn fool. There's literally nothing here. Whatdya want, a bedtime story? I ain't that kinda writer.
8:00 AM- 4:00 PM.
Every weekday. Holidays off. Decent pay for a janitor.
Hector didn't hate his job. He regarded it with the sort of lazy contempt for one's own employment which one sees out of desk jockeys and taxi drivers.
The routine was boring, and so was the work. Sometimes something would happen to spice up the action. Sometimes he would accidentally wander into the wrong corridor and have to explain himself to a couple of heavily-armed jocks. One day he even swore he heard screaming, followed by gunshots.
He was never told who exactly he worked for; all he knew was that it was some sort of special military division. Hector never inquired too much. It put food in his children's bellies, so it was good enough for him.
Hector didn't give it a second thought when the announcement came blaring through the intercom, "SCP-106 has breached containment. I repeat, SCP-106 has breached containment." Not knowing the severity of the situation, Hector went about his business.
Ten minutes later, it was time for his lunch break. He placed his cleaning bucket and mop back in the janitor's closet. It was only when he locked the door and turned around did Hector see the blackened, decaying fingers reach towards him. When they touched him, he became locked in a maelstrom of pain, more intense than anything he had experienced before. Then everything went dark.
Four days later, SCP-106 was re-contained. They never found Hector's body, and a new janitor was hired.
After all, somebody has to mop the floors.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Neutralized Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is presently contained at the New Holy Church of God in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada.
SCP-XXXX-B currently lives with his wife at ███ ███████ St., in Medicine Hat. SCP-XXXX-B is allowed free will due to his co-operation and to maintain a sense of normalcy for the churchgoers.]
SCP-XXXX is presently contained at SCP Item Storage Site 194. Only approved testing personnel are allowed access to the object.
The New Holy Church of God in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada is to be cordoned off and given the public explanation that it is under renovation and is closed. The church is to be monitored for any anomalies.
SCP-XXXX-B is currently interred at the Hillside cemetary in Medicine Hat, and is to be monitored for any anomalies.
SCP-XXXX is presently located in the basement of the New Holy Church of God in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. It must not be moved from this location under any circumstances.
SCP-XXXX-B is currently held at SCP Site-322 in Krasnoyarsk, Russia. It is to be contained at all times in a 2 metre high by 1 metre wide by 1 metre long iron box, with no gaps or holes of any kind. The box is to be inspected daily for any structural damage that could compromise containment. The item may be moved under armed escort if deemed critical to containment of SCP-XXXX.
All mentions of SCP-XXXX-related activity are to be supressed from the internet. Class-A amnestics are to be administered to civilians who become aware of the nature of SCP-XXXX.
The New Holy Church Of God hosts masses every Sunday, as well as occasional fundraisers. These events are not to be interrupted under any circumstances. Foundation personnel are to co-operate with Horizon Initiative personnel to ensure that such events have as many people in attendance as possible. All persons attending these events must be of the Catholic faith.
Mobile Task Force Sigma-20 "Bible Thumpers" are to be mobilized to maintain a 100 square metre perimeter around SCP-XXXX in the event that an active anomaly is detected. If this occurs during a chuch-held event, all civilians involved are to be evacuated. After each incident requiring the mobilization of MTF Sigma-20, district-wide aerosol application of Class-A amnestics may be used at the current MTF Commander's discretion.
This section will be updated regularly as new anomalies manifest.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a bronze church bell that has been the source of a large number of developing anomalies related to the New Holy Church of God in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. For the purposes of this file, it is should be noted that the church bell was taken down and dismantled in 1993 due to disrepair.
For a full list of anomalies and status changes, see below files.
Initial description of SCP-XXXX upon discovery is as follows:
SCP-XXXX-A is an office desk and its accompanying office chair.
When a human sits in SCP-XXXX-A, they will spontaneously say the sentence "The bell tolls, it tells me so, but for whom, I do not know." This occurs regardless of of the individual's fluency in English, or if they can speak at all. The individual is aware that they said this inadverdently.
Immediately afterward, SCP-XXXX-B4 will utter the sentence "The bell tolls, it tells me so. It tolls wherever you may go." SCP-XXXX-B has also reported being fully aware during this stage.
The next person SCP-XXXX-B sees (with the exception of the person who activated SCP-XXXX-A) will be marked as an instance of SCP-XXXX-C. SCP-XXXX-C will hear a loud bell ringing that is inaudible to anyone but them. The apparent volume of the ringing is directly tied to SCP-XXXX-C's proximity to the New Holy Church of God in Medicine Hat: the closer they are, the quieter it becomes. After a certain distance away the sound invariably becomes loud enough to cause eardrum rupture, and soon after, death. SCP-XXXX-C instances have universally reported the bell sound ceasing entirely inside the church. The only known way of stopping the sound is by remaining within the confines of the building.
Interviewed: Allain Duponte, designated SCP-XXXX-B
Interviewer: Researcher ████████
[Interview took place on 05/13/1994, a few days after initial containment of SCP-XXXX.]
<Begin Log>
Researcher ████████: Good evening Mr. Duponte. I want to ask you a few questions about your church and SCP-XXXX. Is that alright?
SCP-XXXX-B: Go ahead. I've got nothing better to do.
Researcher ████████: Alright. When did you first become aware of the anomalous nature of SCP-XXXX?
SCP-XXXX-B: About a week ago. I was doing some work around the church moving boxes with my wife. We had just gotten this desk for the church office. She went to go have a seat at the desk when she said the words, and… well you know the rest. The next person I saw other than my wife was ████, but we didn't notice anything strange. It was only when he left the building did he start complaining of hearing a church bell in his head.
Researcher ████████: How did you know the effect was from the church?
SCP-XXXX-B: Well, we got the kid to come back inside for a drink. He said it stopped, and that it started again when he walked outside. It's pretty clear cut what happens. We recalled the incident with the desk and try to re-create it… and voila.
Researcher ████████: I see. Mr. Duponte, where did you purchase this desk and chair?
SCP-XXXX-B: I found it at a garage sale. I know you were hoping for a receipt or something, but I don't have anything. I just paid $20 for the set and was on my way.
Researcher ████████: Do you recall the address of the residence that sold it to you?
SCP-XXXX-B: I don't, I'm sorry. I know nothing other than what I've told you.
Researcher ████████: Okay. Was there anything about the church that might've caused this anomaly to form?
SCP-XXXX-B: Well, a day before the incident, Margeret mentioned that we could use that we should clean up that old bell and re-install it on the roof. She said it would make the building more attractive and possibly gain us a few more people for our Sunday masses. I didn't think much of it. The bell got taken down years ago, it's still sitting in the basement.
Researcher ████████: All right. That's enough for now, Mr. Duponte. If you could…
SCP-XXXX-B: What happens now? Am I in trouble for this?
Researcher ████████: No sir, you are not in trouble. We are trying to ascertain the extent of the anomaly so we can avoid any further incidents. We just need your co-operation is all, and you've done that admirably.
SCP-XXXX-B: Okay then. Can I phone my wife?
<End Log>
Closing Statement: [Mr. Duponte has proven to be very co-operative in the investigation and containment of SCP-XXXX. I recommend he not be contained as a seperate entity in order to avoid unecessary waste of living resources and to maintain normalcy for the church.]
[Sr. Researcher █████████: Request granted, with the stipulation that Duponte's wife be given amnestics and that Duponte is monitored for further SCP-XXXX activites.]
Addendum: On 06/04/1994, SCP-XXXX-B entered the basement of the church and did not return. When Foundation personnel were unable to contact him for two days, Agent ███████████ was dispatched to investigate. SCP-XXXX-B's wife, Margeret said he had disappeared and she did not know his whereabouts. Agent ███████████ investigated the basement to find SCP-XXXX-B deceased, his body laying next to the church bell dismantled on the floor. Beside SCP-XXXX-B was a paper note reading:
The bell will ring soon for thee, but now the bell rings for me.
It worked, Margeret. They came! I'll see you again my love.
Allain
An autopsy revealed that SCP-XXXX-B suffered severe eardrum rupture, which was likely the cause of death.
SCP-XXXX has been presumed neutralized, as its effects have yet to be replicated since SCP-XXXX-B perished.
On ██/██/1994, after what attendees described as a particularly small number of churchgoers attending Sunday mass, SCP-XXXX was audibly heard around the neighborhood of the church ringing throughout the week, despite not having been moved from its crate. After the next Sunday mass had a similarly low turnout, SCP-XXXX-B's wife was found in the church's basement standing next to SCP-XXXX, bleeding from her ears. She was given medical attention and has since recovered.
SCP-XXXX was upgraded to Euclid due to this unpredictable behaviour after SCP-XXXX-B's death.
On ██/██/1994 an individual claiming to be a member of the Horizon Initiative contacted the acting Lead Researcher of SCP-XXXX, ████ ██████. The individual identified himself only as 'Jorge', and attempted to negotiate access to SCP-XXXX files, as well as to take over containment on the Horizon Initiative's behalf. Researcher ██████ declined and reported this activity to acting Section Director █████. Director █████ mandated that security on SCP-XXXX be increased in light of the Initiative's interest in the anomaly.
The next Sunday saw at least 35 new individuals attend mass. Contact was made once again with Lead Researcher ██████ by 'Jorge', who declared that the new attendance was due to the Initiative's efforts. 'Jorge' offered once again to take over containment of SCP-XXXX, once again being denied by Researcher ██████. 'Jorge' reasoned that the Horizon Initiative understood religious anomalies better than the Foundation, and that the Foundation would be worse off attempting containment than the Initiative.
It should be noted that after the Initiative's intervention in Sunday mass, no new anomalies were detected for the next week.
Between ██/██/1994 and ██/██/1995, the Horizon Initiative had not intervened further in any more Sunday Masses or church events. A partial list of anomalies observed between these dates is listed below:
- On ██/██/1994, several churchgoers reported hearing a sound like pained screaming from the basement of the church.
- On ██/██/1994, a manhole on the street adjacent to the church erupted. Approximately 214 white doves flew out of the manhole and dispersed in the sky.
- On ██/██/1994, several citizens reported seeing a man walking around the vicinity of the church who fit the common description of Jesus Christ. It was confirmed to be an anomaly when he was filmed walking in and out of the walls of the church. It was after this incident that MTF Sigma-20 was formed and assigned to SCP-XXXX.
- On ██/██/1995, all citizens in the streets adjacent to SCP-XXXX reported seeing the sky turn pitch black, with no light being visible in the sky. They reported the only light source in sight coming from the interior of the church. All civilians affected were administered Class-A amnestics.
- On ██/██/1995, SCP-XXXX emitted a bell sound measured at approximately 170 decibels by an MTF-Sigma-20 operative 3 blocks away. This caused permanent hearing damage to at least 14 civilians in the vicinity, and temporary ear injury to at least 63 civilians. All those affected have been issued Class-A amnestics, with the public explanation that a low-flying jet caused the noise.
On ██/██/1995, in an effort to reduce or eliminate the danger for civilians in the vicinity of the church, SCP-XXXX was transported to SCP Item Storage Site 194 in ██████, Saskatchewan. On the journey toward Site 194, the transport convoy was involved in █ vehicular collisions. This was determined to be too high a number to be coincidental, and was most likely caused somehow by SCP-XXXX. One of the operatives complained of seeing 'angels' on the side of the road screaming at him. Said operative was submitted for psychological therapy afterward, as she reported seeing these hallucinations for the entire two-day trip.
Soon afterward, SCP-XXXX-B's corpse was observed to rise out of its grave and begin running in the general direction of the transport convoy. It did not stop until it reached Site 194, where it overpowered and killed █ security guards and attempted to gain access to where SCP-XXXX was being stored. SCP-XXXX-B appeared to be impervious to bullets, and was only contained when Agent ████████ drove a Foundation vehicle over it, trapping it under the vehicle. It was then transferred to a standard humanoid containment unit, and then to its current habitat.
Because of this new info, and the fact that SCP-XXXX-B continually moves to face the direction of SCP-XXXX, it is believed that SCP-XXXX-B's objective is the liberation of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-B has been discovered to become inert when located a sufficiently far distance away from SCP-XXXX, hence its current containment in Russia.
SCP-XXXX upgraded to Keter status.

Alright, I didn't want to have to do this. That 'Jorge' name that's still floating around in this doc? Yeah, that's me. And since you're not an idiot and have managed to find this message through our datavirus, you are someone who can relay it to the appropriate parties. Or perhaps you are the appropriate party, in that case, hi. Listen up.

I’m not going to say this again. The Horizon Initiative is taking over containment of what you call SCP-XXXX, whether you like it or not. Just know that if you co-operate it will be much easier for both our organizations. We don't want bloodshed.

But we can't stand idly by while you play with someone you don't understand. This isn't something you can just disect or put under a microscope and figure out what happens. We've worked with developing anomalies in the past. We understand them better than you ever will

So if you are interested in coming to your senses, you can meet me at 4am sharp, corner of 7th and 3rd. With the blue and red laces. Come alone.

[DATA EXPUNGED]
The Horizon Initiative's continued assistance with containment of SCP-XXXX has been a great relief to Foundation resources in the area. MTF Sigma-20 "Bible Thumpers" will continue to standby in case of a major disturbance, but so far things have been going exceedingly well with regards to containment. Well enough that I constantly ask myself what the hell Horizon wants with SCP-XXXX… and why they're so good at doing what we couldn't.
Lead Researcher ████████████.
I've discovered that someone has been deleting sections of SCP-XXXX's file.
No shit… took you long enough to figure it out.
Entire sections are covered in swaths of spaghetti code… I can't fix it. Whoever's doing this is far more advanced of a hacker than I am. They also seem to be leaving a breadcrumb trail of messages for the Foundation to find… specifically the people in charge of SCP-XXXX's containment. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.
Because you don't know what you are doing. You are like a child with a toy. Fucking reckless. Putting your fingers in things just to see what happens, like this is grade 7 science class.
I can't trace the thread back, and there is no visible I.P. of the origin. Whoever did this slipped in and out without so much as a squeak. Nothing. Poof. But why? That's what gets to me. What the hell is here that is so valuable to people to want to delete? Is it just to grab our attention?
You can't find me because I'm not 'hacking' you. We have ways. You have computer skips, why are you so suprised that others out there have similar tools? You are just one fish in a very large pond, my friend.
This is bugging the hell out of me. I've ruled out Horizon, as deleting our files would have no discernible benefit to them. After all, they're trying to contain the damn thing.
Ruled out Horizon… let me fucking laugh. You goddamn morons. You just don't get it do you.
I'll keep trying to pinpoint the source. ████████████ out.
SCP-XXXX just wants people in church. That's it. You fucking idiots… the most advanced organization in the history of humankind… fooled by a damn bell.

Addendum: some say bum get old.
they need bum more than anyone.

SCP-XXXX (right) shortly before containment
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a standard humanoid containment cell. Three meals per day are to be provided, as well as regular access to drinking water.
In order to maintain normal mental health, SCP-XXXX is to be allowed access to a personal computer, with the provision that its capability for internet access be disabled. SCP-XXXX may be allowed media, such as films, books, and video games, for personal entertainment if requested, following review of said request by Dr. Nadrecky. SCP-XXXX is allowed supervised access to the exercise room of the Site it is currently contained in.
SCP-XXXX may be periodically relocated to a different Site if anomalous activity poses sufficient danger, either to human life or to Foundation containment or secrecy. Inquiries into SCP-XXXX's current whereabouts are to be responded with the explanation that SCP-XXXX is currently attending the University of Notre Dame, and has no aspirations to resume his hockey career.
Under no circumstances is SCP-XXXX to partake in any activity resembling ice hockey. Physical force may be used to prevent SCP-XXXX from doing so.
Description: SCP-XXXX is Victor J. Oreskovich, a former professional ice hockey player.
The area within 4 to 7 kilometres around SCP-XXXX in every direction is subject to SCP-XXXX's anomalous effect. Within this area of effect, anomalous activity is increased significantly, with Kant reality counters reading a level of 0.883 to 0.937 Humes.
This area of effect is significantly increased if SCP-XXXX is currently participating in an ice hockey game. Before containment was estabilished, Kant counters detected a record low of 0.679 Humes5 in an area approximately 65 kilometres out from SCP-XXXX's location. This event was responsible for the creation of several anomalous entities, including Anomalous Item-██, SCP-████, and SCP-████.
SCP-XXXX claims to be unable to control this effect. SCP-XXXX claimed to being unaware of the anomaly when initially contained by the Foundation in 2007.
Since containment, SCP-XXXX's family have been given false memories, leading them to believe that SCP-XXXX never existed.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. Nadrecky
Foreword: Interview was requested by SCP-XXXX.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Nadrecky: Hello SCP-XXXX. How are you today?
SCP-XXXX: Well, I'm alright, all things considered.
Dr. Nadrecky: That's good. I understand you wished to speak with me about something.
SCP-XXXX: Yeah, I did. You ever have ambitions, Doctor?
Dr. Nadrecky: Ambitions? Well, yeah. Don't we all have to have something to strive for?
SCP-XXXX: That's what I wanted to talk to you about. The longer I'm here… what's it been, months? Years? I'm beginning to lose track. The longer I'm here, the more I want to get back out there. I'm not saying I'm going to fight back or anything, I just miss being normal. Going to the arena and playing. Seeing my family. That sort of thing. That's my ambition, Doc. To be normal again.
Dr. Nadrecky: Victor, I know it's hard for you… but there's no way we can do that. You know this. I hate telling you that too, but the risk it poses are too high.
SCP-XXXX: I know, I know. Still, I can dream.
Dr. Nadrecky: Have you been watching those movies I got you?
SCP-XXXX: I watched all six of them yesterday night. Couldn't sleep.
Dr. Nadrecky: I see.
SCP-XXXX: You know what… Doc, forget I said anything. I was just rambling is all. Have a good night, alright?
Dr. Nadrecky: You as well. Goodnight.
Closing Statement: While I understand the importance of containment, I'm starting to notice a big dip in the subject's morale. SCP-XXXX never stays up all night… that's the first time he's done that. I believe the subject when he says he won't try to escape, but I still wonder… is there no way for us to achieve a sense of normalcy for SCP-XXXX? Any way to eliminate the anomalous effect? Just a thought. The subject will be easier to contain with good morale. SCP-XXXX will be interviewed again when he next requests it.

19/01/2008: Following the results of the interview on 25/02/2008, Site Director Barlett has begun reviewing proposals from the Research and Development branch for methods of neutralizing SCP-XXXX's anomaly.
30/03/2009:, Proposal XXXX/01-9 has been approved for production by Site-32 Director Barlett. Proposal XXXX/01-9 consists of developing chip-based Scrantion reality anchors small enough to embed in SCP-XXXX's skin. These devices are theorized to be able to reduce SCP-XXXX's area of effect to less than a kilometre, and its Hume value to no lower than 0.996.
01/05/2009: Preliminary tests had been successful. Research and Development recommends field testing.
09/05/2009: Field testing approved by Site Director Barlett. Scranton chips surgically implanted in SCP-XXXX successfully.
22/05/2009: Extended field tests have shown a normalized Hume value in the immediate vicinity around SCP-XXXX. With Proposal XXXX/01-9 being feasible, Site Director Barlett and Dr. Nadrecky drafted an official proposal to the O5 council titled 'Project Icehawk'. Project Icehawk involves releasing SCP-XXXX from containment and allowing the subject to pursue professional hockey as a career after false memories are implanted, and knowledge of the Foundation is wiped. SCP-XXXX will remain under Foundation surveillance until such a time that SCP-XXXX can be declared Neutralized.
27/05/2009: Project Icehawk approved by O5 Command with an 11-2 vote.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. Nadrecky
Foreword: Interview scheduled by Dr. Nadrecky to inform SCP-XXXX of Project Icehawk.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Nadrecky: Good morning, SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: Morning, Doc. I read that novel you gave me.
Dr. Nadrecky: 'Beautiful Losers', right? How did you find it?
SCP-XXXX: Difficult. It took me three days.
Dr. Nadrecky: I notice you haven't been exercising as much lately. Is there a reason for that?
SCP-XXXX: Just don't feel up to it.
Dr. Nadrecky: I see. I have some news that might cheer you up.
SCP-XXXX: Oh?
Dr. Nadrecky: We've found a way you can return to the outside world. It's tricky, and it involves wiping you of your memory of this place.
SCP-XXXX: Oh Doc… that's a small price to pay.
Dr. Nadrecky: Is this still something you want?
SCP-XXXX: More than anything.
Dr. Nadrecky: That's good. I'll give you the details, just let me get my folder here…
SCP-XXXX: Hey Doc?
Dr. Nadrecky: Yes?
SCP-XXXX: You don't know how much I appreciate this. Thank you.

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX is willing. Recommend commencement of Project Icehawk.
14/06/2008: Project Icehawk officially underway. SCP-XXXX released from containment. Officials from National Hockey League teams are informed through anonymous sources that Victor Oreskovich is looking to sign with a team to continue his playing career. SCP-XXXX is currently housed in a Toronto hotel while he waits to sign with a team.
01/07/2009: NHL Free Agency opens, allowing players without teams to sign contracts.
19/07/2009: SCP-XXXX receives a Professional Try Out (PTO) from the Florida Panthers.
10/08/2009: SCP-XXXX signs a three year, two-way Entry Level Contract with the Florida Panthers. Subject splits the season between Florida and their farm team, the Rochester Americans. Average Hume value in the vicinity of SCP-XXXX is approximately 0.997. Project Icehawk voted to continue on to the next season.
25/06/2010: SCP-XXXX is traded to the Vancouver Canucks.
15/06/2011: SCP-XXXX plays the majority of the season with the Canuck's farm team, the Manitoba Moose. SCP-XXXX is recalled for the playoffs, and plays 19 games. SCP-XXXX's average Hume value is 0.977. During Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals however, a value of 0.423 is detected on nearby Kant readers. During the game, several anomalous events happen in the metropolitan Vancouver area. This was the only major deviation from normal Hume values for the duration of the year.
28/06/2011: O5 Command votes to continue Project Icehawk following replacement of the Scranton reality anchor chips in SCP-XXXX, as it is believed the events of 15/06/2011 were due to wear and tear over time causing malfunction.
12/09/2011: At the start of the 2011-12 season, a Hume value of 0.695 is recorded during a pre-season game.
22/11/2011: During a game with the Canuck's new farm team, the Chicago Wolves, SCP-XXXX is recorded to have a Hume value of 0.633. O5 Command re-evaluates Project Icehawk.
27/11/2011: Project Icehawk allowed to continue, as most games occur with an acceptable average Hume value. However, SCP-XXXX will be re-contained and the project closed if further incidents occur.
06/12/2011: SCP-XXXX plays his only game with the Vancouver Canucks in the 2011-12 season. Kant readings indicate a value of 0.311 Humes, causing multiple anomalous events throughout the province of British Columbia.
18/12/2011: Project Icehawk terminated by unanimous vote of O5 Command, due to SCP-XXXX's continued unpredictability. SCP-XXXX recontained at Site-32.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP Outpost-355 is responsible for containment of SCP-XXXX. Staff assigned to SCP Outpost-355 are to be on high alert for the manifestation of SCP-XXXX between March 13th and April 3rd of each year. When confirmation of the exact times and locations SCP-XXXX will be held is made, personnel are to ensure the completion of every event in SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a recurring phenomenon in the city of Bugojno, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Once annually (between March 13th and April 3rd), a manifestation of a festival known locally in Bosnian as 'Prikupljanje Muva' (Roughly translated to English as 'Gathering of the Flies') will occur. This festival is roughly analogous, albeit on a much smaller scale, to the Summer Olympics held internationally every 4 years. During the time in which SCP-XXXX occurs, promotion posters will be put up around town, and most stores will offer sales in celebration of SCP-XXXX. Inhabitants of Bugojno will generally treat SCP-XXXX as a holiday.
The inhabitants of Bugojno typically show no alarm over the nature of SCP-XXXX, nor do the participants of SCP-XXXX. This is believed to be an anomalous effect of SCP-XXXX and not the population's doing.
SCP-XXXX consists mostly of variants of Olympic sports that are participated in entirely by children aged 5-11. A partial list of documented competitions can be found below.
| Date Documented | Description of Competition |
| ██/██1993 | Competition is a variant of the shot put. Participants offer an arm of their choice amputated, usually by a child no older than 9 years. Participant proceeds to use the amputated limb as the shot put, competing to try to throw it the farthest distance. |
| ██/██1993 | Competition is a variant of synchronised diving. Participants are universally aged 11 years. Before the competition begins, a child 1 year of age is placed into a large wood chipper, with their entrails being draped around the divers' necks. Divers proceed to synchronise dive into a swimming pool filled entirely with pigs' blood. |
| ██/██/1997 | Variant of tournament Boxing. The ring is constructed from of oil drums and human fingers tied in a chain. The contestants are aged no more than 8 years. Matches appear to be fought to the death, with a victor being declared only once their opponent has perished. The victor will then proceed to drag the corpse of their opponent out of the ring, and masturbate over the corpse while watching the next match. |
| ██/██/2006 | Competition has no non-anomalous analogue. Appears to be an extremely complex ritual varying in procedure with each iteration. The only constant is each participant (of which there are exactly 39) being paired up with another. The odd participant out stands in the centre of a podium littered with hundreds of nails, and covered in honey. 100% of iterations to date have ended in the sterilization of every human in the building which this event is held. |
SCP-XXXX was discovered in 1975 when government documents were intercepted regarding anomalies in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia territories. SCP-XXXX was not contained until 1993 due to open hostility between the SFR Yugoslavia and the Foundation.
Inhabitants of Bugojno do not retain the memory of SCP-XXXX after it has occured, even if they have participated as a contestant. SCP-XXXX will happen regardless of interference: Foundation attempts to sabotage or stop SCP-XXXX have only resulted in it being re-scheduled by citizens at a later date.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Public information regarding SCP-XXXX's existence is to be censored upon discovery. Particular attention is to be paid to major space agencies, observatories, and amateur astronomy websites and magazines.
Once every 3 months, a new calculation of SCP-XXXX's approximate size is to be made.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a region of space approximately 705 light years from Earth, located near the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. SCP-XXXX is vaguely spherical, and measurements as of ██/██/2016 have placed it as approximately 1402 LY in size. SCP-XXXX is continually expanding at a non-linear rate. Foundation observers have been unable to detect a pattern to this growth.
The area within SCP-XXXX is completely devoid of all forms of matter, including dark matter. Due to the rate of particle dispersion throughout the universe, this naturally occuring without the presence of dark matter is impossible.
Approximately once every 2 years, an O-Class Blue Hypergiant star (designated SCP-XXXX-1) will appear within SCP-XXXX and travel toward the nearest system containing at least one other star. SCP-XXXX-1 instances move extremely fast, having been observed to reach 150 times the speed of light. When an SCP-XXXX-1 instance reaches its target, it will disappear. Observation has been unable to record any evidence of the continued existence of the SCP-XXXX-1 instance, with no gravitational effects on its target star being evident.
