Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX best standard containment protocols currently require it to be held in a persistent negative pressure room and all staff to maintain full contact precaution PPE when in its vicinity. Standard decontamination protocols apply to all personnel accessing SCP-XXXX.
In event of exposure, personnel should contact the emergency switchboard (reachable by calling 99) and clearly state their name, level of clearance and current location. If emergency amputation is viable (such as when exposure is in the peripheries), it should be performed without delay. Following any exposure event, the infectious disease audit team is to assess and amend these protocols to reduce likelihood of future incidents.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a extraterrestrial lifeform that is comparable to the standard modern day herpes-simplex virus. Initial exposure and infective patterns are largely identical, with localized skin irritation and development of lesions around exposure site.
Addendum: [Optional additional paragraphs]
I like the story better then the V1, but it's all focused in the end. I think you could ease up on the diary and get some more information out prior to that.
For instance, it's odd to me that they go to this place form a GOI, ignore the machine what recombobulates people, and pick up a conveniently-explanatory diary
Add in some more about recovery operation, shift some story aspects up a little
I feel like you can leave out the direct 'telling' of who the plant is, and leave that to the reader to piece together.
hmm so maybe subtly imply that

Travel Star Express Service
Volo in Pax
“Founded in 1876, Sydney, the Express Service consisted of 6 horse and carriages that allowed travellers to explore the dusty world that is Australia. Since then we have laid over 1600 trillion kilometres of railway track, spanning the entirety of Earth Prime and linking thousands of other trans-dimensional Earths.”
Official Rating: 4.5/5
Public Review Rating: 3.5/5
Official Review: Travel Star Express Service, more commonly known as the Midnight Express among seasoned travellers, is one of the best options for travellers wishing to go places fast. Prices are reasonable and anonymity is guaranteed, a relief for many of the more shadowy types who may need to travel fast. Trains run every 12 hours from Central Station, located in Sydney, Australia and have a carrying capacity of several hundred.
Inter-dimensional travellers will also be pleased to note that the Travel Star Express Service connects over 4000 Earth variants in both directions. Many of these Earth’s are extremely degenerative towards human life, however the carriages are extremely well shielded and have their own internal air cycling systems to ensure maximum comfort.
The Travel Star Express is also the premier freight shipping service in the multiverse, serving as the life blood for colonies located on the Eastern and Western Earths by providing a rapid link to Earth Prime. Each day thousands of tonnes in freight pass along the railway, making it one of the busiest in the world.
For the regular traveller, I would recommend purchasing the economy plus seat. It is only 30 US dollars more expensive but the extra leg room is a boon if you regularly travel with Travel Star. Ticket prices can be found at their website: Øä÷wë7T’ÂïúÁ³b¼€Ž.com. Alternatively customers could also make a booking over the phone.
I don’t recommend turning up on the day at a station and expecting to be seated, Travel Star is a popular service and trips are often pre-booked months in advance.
Updates: Following the recent security scare involving The Foundation, I have removed half a star from the Travel Star Express Service on my official review. Travellers utilizing the service should be aware that if they are alighting or boarding at Central Station, their identities may be recorded without their knowledge. However this is just another part of the world having to adapt of increasingly aggressive Foundation and Coalition activities.
Travellers should take greater caution, however the service itself remains uncompromised and continues to provide the premium experience it has become renowned for.

5/5 Highly Recommended.
If you are thinking of using the Travel Star Service, you are either a rogue or someone with a need for anonymity and lots of speed. Now as a connoisseur in extra-universe antiquities, I need both as I regularly order shipments of a wide array of objects – some of which are definitely illegal in our universe, nothing dangerous of course. Travel Star also does discrete drop offs at your home address for an addition cost, which is quite useful as I regularly order items too large or too risky to carry home.
Travelling with Travel Star is also a delight. They have specialized equipment which automatically conceals the identity of everyone on the train, you could be looking at someone right in the eyes and still not remember a single detail about them. The food is also great and if you are travelling Gold Class, as I often do, they also provide vintage wines brewed in some of the best multiverse breweries (I particularly enjoy the wines made in the West 100 Earth, but that’s a review for next time).
Travel Star can take you to just about any place you imagine and quite a few more that you never would’ve known existed. In my 30 years of using Travel Star, I doubt I have even explored half of their rail line.

4/5 Recommended.
Seeing as I partake in some questionable activities on this line, I won’t be posting this with my main accounts. However you can trust me when I say I have been using this line to smuggle goods across Earth for several years now. The railway bypasses normal border security measures, both regular and types that are more mysterious. As such it’s quite useful for moving freight that the Jailors or the Book burners would love to get their grimy hands on. The folks at Travel Star don’t ask questions, however its good form to tip the guys who load the packages – after all money can loosen or seal lips. It is technically against the company policy to carry any contraband so it’s a good precaution to take.
EDIT: Yeah those damn Jailors certainly did a knocking to Central Station on Earth Prime. I would suggest everyone to load cargo or begin their journey at East 1 Earth or West 1 Earth for a while until it cools down. They should get bored of watching an empty railway line sooner or later, if not Central Station will probably get relocated I believe.

Realize you caught the one going inter multiverse and not to inner Manhattan.
Get stranded on icy tundra in West 340 Earth.
Spend the next 40 years working as an ice slave.

0/5 Do Not Use.
I stumbled onto this site after following a peculiar set of links while searching for scenic train cruises. Everything about this is a joke and I don’t know why so many people have given it such a high rating. What is this nonsense about inter-dimensional freight shipping and the fellow above me is talking something about being a slave. Maybe I’m the fool and this is the discussion thread for some cool game published by that steam company or whatever they are called, however real travellers should be warned that THIS ISN’T A REAL SERVICE.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a regular greenhouse containment unit. Personnel are to perform watering and other plant maintenance activities on a daily basis. Fertilizer should be applied every 2 months.
If SCP-XXXX becomes sporadic in movement, personnel should exit the chamber until SCP-XXXX returns to regular levels of activity.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous fern plant genotypically similar to the Cyatheaceae family1. SCP-XXXX is 10.3m in height and possesses 16 fronds, increasing in height at a rate of 20-40cm a year on average. This growth rate is expected to slow when SCP-XXXX reaches the expected height of regular Cyatheaceae variants. SCP-XXXX spores once a year, however the resulting ferns do not appear to possess any of SCP-XXXX’s anomalous properties.
SCP-XXXX is capable of rapid movement on an anomalous scale. This allows SCP-XXXX to locomote its fronds autonomously without the application of external forces. The movement of the fronds appears to be random and analysis has revealed no significant patterns in the activity displayed by the fronds.
It is unknown if SCP-XXXX is sentient, however testing has shown that it possesses a degree of awareness about its surroundings that is anomalous for regular Cyatheaceae. This has been observed in the reactions of SCP-XXXX towards various personnel assigned to its containment and testing; including variations in the intensity and frequency of frond activity.
SCP-XXXX was recovered from the mansion of deceased person of interest, Carlos Wang. During the retrieval operation, SCP-XXXX was bought to the attention of the Foundation after several members of The Travellers2 attempted to collect the fern.
As a precaution the fern was retrieved and placed under observation, leading to the discovery of its anomalous properties.
Addendum-XXXX-A: Several documents relating to SCP-XXXX were also collected and are transcribed in their entirety here.
January 17, 2016
I have started work at my first job since graduating from university! It is with an strange old man called Carlos Wang who owns this lab located in a mansion. It is most unusual, however the side benefits do include the ability to live in a mansion - always a positive upside to any job I would think.
As a newly graduated research scientist specializing in biology, I am excited to be offered such a job so rapidly. The exact details of the commission haven't been disclosed to me yet, but I suspect I will soon find out when I begin my work in earnest.
January 29, 2016
I am concerned for Mr Wang's health. Since our first meeting several weeks ago, he has become increasingly gaunt and pale. He has dismissed all my enquiries into the matter. That leads me to the next curiosity I've noticed, I still don't know what we are doing here.
Everyday I collect a batch of plants that are dropped off at the parking lot and take them up to the laboratory, then at the end of the day I collect the plants Carlos leaves outside the lab and take them to the greenhouse. The rest of the day is just free time for me, sure I still get paid and have no reason to complain, but it is terribly boring and suspicious. If he does not tell me what he is doing soon, I think I will resign and seek more enthralling work - sure it may not pay as much, but I don't really need this much money anyway.
John.
February 6, 2016
After I threatened to leave, Carlos more or less told me everything. He is an old scientist suffering from terminal cancer and merely wishes to have someone to talk to at home. Now that he puts it in that manner, I do not have the heart to leave him alone to suffer out his final days without another human.
He has also made some allowances for me, I am allowed to assist him in the lab now. What we are doing here still evades me, however he has taught me several useful tricks and shortcuts when performing some common laboratory tasks. From my observations we appear to be attempting to create some sort of genetically modified plant, the finer details however, are not available to me.
John.
February 11, 2016
Mr Carlos Wang collapsed again today. The cancer is taking its toll and the pain killers appear to be having less of an effect on the intense pain he must be feeling. In that moment of fear however, he did divulge some information gasping out, 'don't let me die, plug me into the machine.'
By machine, I am assuming he means the giant metallic behemoth that stands silent sentinel in the greenhouse. There is a port that looks like it could fit a human, however just like everything else in this mansion, I have next to no idea on what it does.
John.
Dr. Carlos Wang - Research Notes
Cyatheaceae are the most compatible vessel it seems. Although they have their flaws, it will have to do for now for I lack time. Each time I pause or stutter in my research, the dark tendrils of death wrap themselves ever tighter around my life. It is such irony that an entire life spent in the pursuit of immortality would be bought down by such a mundane and disgusting disease.
Either way I must move onto stage 2. This is where my assistant John Regan comes into play. Someone needs to test the machine before I get in.

Dr. Carlos Wang - Research Notes
A week left to live. My symptoms worsened last night and I can barely walk or speak. The machine is not ready, however one easy way to calibrate it would be a test firing, let this be known as the day mankind finally trumped the inevitability of death.
15/02/16
February 16, 2016
I am sorry for what I did to John. I found his journal on his body and I suppose I will pen down a couple of words dedicated to him before I escape the clutches of death myself. The machine had to be calibrated and John was the unfortunate lamb, it wasn't personal, just the need to survive.
In fact John is still alive, only his body is gone. To any who may find this diary, do look after the fern in rack 14. He was a good man and deserves to have a peaceful life.
Now it is my turn, now that the machine is calibrated, I should have total control over the specimen and be able to make my way back to the Travellers. One day I am certain I will be able to restore my original form and I will return and save John from the fate I condemned him to as well.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a regular greenhouse containment unit. Personnel are to perform watering and other plant maintenance activities on a daily basis. Fertilizer should be applied every 6 months or when it is needed.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Pteridophyte3 plant recovered from a mansion owned by the person of interest known as Carlos Wang4 following their death. At this current time SCP-XXXX is 6.7m tall and has 16 fronds, with its genus closely matching that of regular [FERN SCIENCE NAME]. SCP-XXXX reacts regularly to external stimuli such as light and water.
SCP-XXXX is capable of anomalous rapid movement, including the production of sounds as a result. These sounds have been described as, 'distinctive sets of rustling,' by personnel, following their exposure to the sounds.
Further analysis of the sounds produced by SCP-XXXX has revealed basic patterns in their structure. These patterns appear to be the basis of a form of proto-language, however this theory has not been verified at this current time and it is unknown if SCP-XXXX is actively attempting to communicate.
SCP-XXXX possesses a degree of awareness about its surroundings at a level that is anomalous for regular flora. This has been observed in the reactions of SCP-XXXX towards various personnel assigned to its containment and testing; including variations in the intensity of sound produced by SCP-XXXX and the movement of fronds. This provides evidence that SCP-XXXX is sentient and potentially sapient.
Addendum-XXXX-A: During the investigation of the individual Carlos Wang, several other documents relating to SCP-XXXX where collected and are transcribed in their entirety here.
June 19, 2016
The pain is growing in me day by day, I can feel it in my bones and in my lungs, its tendrils choking the life out of me just as surely as a bullet to the brain. The irony of life is delicious, an entire life spent pursuing longevity, only to be brought down by something not even the [REDACTED] can cure.
However all is not lost, many of my contacts have gone silent after hearing of my demise - but some still speak with me still. Their whispers of a plant, the plant. It may be nothing more than a rumor planted by my enemies in a final act of spite, but if anything they say is true, well the hour of devastation may yet be averted.
I have purged the greenhouses growing the damned peaces of immortality. My last gambit will be taking seed in those soils soon.
June 30, 2016
A curse upon Lord Blackwell. After all I had done for him in the past and this is how he repays me. 13 failed crops, all dead with the rot. My time is growing short and I have still yet to find a viable vessel for my plans. It needs to be hardy, able of wearing the passage of time - yet malleable enough so as to not immediately reject the intrusion.
The doctors have given me another month max. The second shipment of seedlings arrives tomorrow, one of them surely will show potential.
July 11, 2016
Success is within my grasp. The tendrils of darkness have wrapped themselves ever tighter around my life force, a constricting force of death. However my engineered escape will soon pull me free of its dastardly clutches if all goes well.
It may not be the immortality I've spent my entire life searching for, but it will do for now. Who knows, maybe 30 or 40 years down the line it will be possible to undo what was twain upon me and I can once again experience the joy of life.
A single seedling survived today's round of testing, a fern of the FERN SCIENCE NAME species. I can now proceed with the second stage, I only hope I can hold out long enough for the final arrangements to be completed.
July 17, 2016
It is done. I think it's done. Will it work, I don't know. My contacts have all left me so I have no way of being sure. I have been confined to a wheel chair for the last few days, my legs to shaky to even support the frail wreck that remains of my body. Survival is a priority, the prospect of death and having to face all the contracts are to daunting for me to consider.
I will fire up the machine now. This will work. This has to work. If it doesn't, well, I look forward to my eternity of damnation. To any who may stumble onto this, do look after the fern will you. Rosebud.

You have a very interesting central idea, to me at least. It's weird, but interesting. The problem is your execution here is haphazard.
The description feels a little sloppy, for tone and tense reason and also in construction. It tells too much too early.
Avacyn
ahh ok
yeah clinical tone is something photo told me needed major work
ill do an entire overhaul of the draft when i have more time
Cimmerian
Ideally you want to hold back on the "this is probably a guy" hints too heavily early on.
Avacyn
ok
Cimmerian
that's your reveal
right?
Make it a good one.
make us think something else is going on until the very end.
but drop the right hints along the way that it all clicks for the reader when they get that last piece of information
Avacyn
ahh ok, so ideally everything only becomes clear when they reach the addendums?
until then
its weird spoopy plant
Cimmerian
right
Avacyn
ok gotcha
Cimmerian
and maybe not even the *first* set of addendums
Avacyn
yeah
Cimmerian
make his notes a little vaguer. He's a mad scientist doing mad science, it doesn't have to be obvious early on what's going on.
Give him a partner, even who he's trying to hide information *from* to justify the deception.
or better yet
Avacyn
yeah thats a good idea
Cimmerian
have him put a partner *into the plant* instead of himself
Avacyn
that would be a twist indeed
Cimmerian
have the story told through joint logs
they'd both have access
Avacyn
so from both him and his partner?
Cimmerian
and therefor you can save the twist until it's too late for the partner
Avacyn
ok
Cimmerian
because once the partner's in the plant, he can then talk more freely
in his notes
- Cimmerian nods
Avacyn
indeed, anything else to say before i get back to work?
Cimmerian
build up the tension, the oddness and the setting. Then blam the reader with your reveal in the last seconds.
EVENT LOG FROM 1666 CONFLAGRATION. FOR CLASSIFIED EYES ONLY
Foreword: On █-██-████, a package from an unknown sender arrived at the Vault-17 secure containment site, located under the Tower of London. Attached to the package was a note reading:
To whom it may concern,
It is with great pleasure that I, during my explorations of faraway Arabia, have discovered several priceless artefacts which I have included in my package.
Dr. Xxxx
The contents of the crate could not be easily discerned and after a twenty-four hour observation period passed without incident, the contents were deemed to be relatively safe enough to warrant a physical examination. Acting Vault Director, Andrew Swain, decided to personally open the package despite the concerns of several security staff.
This document lists the relevant notes and materials during the entire Conflagration event.
Initial Containment Failure DE7-008-Q1
Due to the chaos that resulted in the immediate aftermath of Vault Director Andrew Swain opening the package, these logs are compiled from several eye witness accounts of the incident.
Andrew opened the crate with a hammer, going real slowly to avoid damaging the contents. As he worked away at the crate we heard some cracking, but I thought it was just the wood splintering. Then he got the lid open and inside were several [REDACTED]. I started running then. – Thomas Brindley, Security Officer.
I heard a couple of screams while I was writing up a new report. Someone yelled, we got a breach and then I locked myself into the bunker. That’s all I know, sorry. – James Russel, Assistant Researcher.
The thing came at me like a horse, luckily I avoided the worst of it and was thrown to the side. It ran through the gate like it was nothing more than paper. The containment team that tried to capture it, oh god I can still smell their burning flesh. – Lewis Dylan, Security Officer.
Vault-17 was immediately locked down, however despite the efforts of several containment teams, the entity managed to cause a total containment breach roughly 2 hours after its initial breach. 47 personnel were killed and another 30 were injured during the breach incident. No other entities managed to breach containment despite the damage caused to the Vault's storage facilities.
Recovery Attempt DE7-009-Q1
Recovery team, MTF-Rome-1 “The Eye” was dispatched into the sewer systems to contain the entity that had escaped during the breach. A general alert was also issued to other Foundation establishments located in London and nearby Vaults were placed into lock down. The following report of the recovery attempt was written by the leader of MTF-Rome-1, Agent Romeo.
We followed the thing into the tunnel, it was pretty easy to track and we followed the smoke through the sewers. Occasionally we would find bits of rumble where it had apparently demolished overhead sections of the tunnel that were too small to allow it passage and we made good time, easily gaining ground on the thing.
I think we were a hundred or so meters away when it noticed our presence. It went all still and it turned around, staring us down in the eye. Agent Jim wanted to back up then, and it is with great regret that I must report I did not listen to him.We moved carefully but that thing was faster. It got several of us before we could react and the rest of us broke formation then, running towards the pickup point. We lost another two guys in the dark tunnels, they might’ve been alive still but none of us wanted to go back to get them.
Backup containment team, MTF-Juno-9 “Great Thames” took over the recovery operation. Containment of the entity was deemed too risky and a kill on sight command was issued to the team. MTF-Juno-9 entered the sewers three hours after initial containment breach and contact was never re-established with the team. All members believed to be lost.
The tracking team following the entity lost its trail shortly afterwards. Visual contact was only re-established four hours after the initial breach after a sewer worker observed the entity exiting a maintenance hatch located near the Thames.
EXCERPT FROM EYEWITNESS INTERVIEW DE7-A11-Q1
Interviewer: Could you please clarify what it was you saw?
Ronald: I'm not actually sure, I'm just a poor chap making a living shoveling crap in the sewers. But it was big, really big and it had a head. I'm pretty sure it also had legs.
Interviewer: A little more specific if you can, Mr Ronald.
Ronald: Well come to think about it, it definitely had legs, otherwise how would it have climbed out of the vent? For several seconds it looked like an angel ascending from the sewers until I saw its head.
Interviewer: Could you tell us where it went afterwards?
Ronald: Well I was hiding behind the well so I didn't get a proper look, but I think it went into the Thames after it climbed out. I went to the local police station but they laughed at me before you guys picked me up. I'm not going insane am I? I don't feel insane.
Broken Concealment Incident DE7-183-Q1
Foundation sentries were deployed at key locations along the Thames. Sixteen hours after initial containment breach, the entity was observed exiting the Thames near London Bridge and heading towards Pudding Lane. MTF-Rome-2 "Draknoid Operatives" intercepted the entity and in the resulting confrontation, a bakery owned by Thomas Farriner was set alight.
EXCERPT FROM EYEWITNESS INTERVIEW DE7-B2
Interviewer: So what happened then?
Agent James: We managed to get a good harpoon shot into the side of the thing and we were trying to tie it down. Then its mouth opened and a gush of flame shot out hitting the bakery.
Interviewer: What happened next?
Agent James: Well the thing disappeared into the flames. I'm not sure how, but one moment we were tying it down, and the next it vanished into the fire that was burning in the bakery.
Interviewer: Did anything happen to the fire?
Agent James: Yeah, it went from a small smoldering fire to a massive inferno that consumed the entire bakery in seconds. We pulled back then due to the heat.
With the recent development in the containment breach, all available Foundation fire teams were marshaled from nearby Vaults in order to assist in the containment of the fire. Regular city fire crews were also arriving and it was believed that the fire would be rapidly contained.
EXCERPT FROM EYEWITNESS INTERVIEW DE7-Y8
Interviewer: So did you manage to get the blaze under control Mr Rumos?
Rumos: No we didn't, our fire fighters worked relentlessly, however as the morning rapidly became the afternoon, it became deadly clear the blaze was getting out of hand.
Interviewer: Could you clarify what you mean by that Mr Rumos?
Rumos: Well we had a constant bucket chain all the way down to the Thames, but despite all the water we threw on it, the fire kept burning. It was clear we would have to begin demolishing buildings if we were to have any chance of controlling the blaze, however the bloody Lord Mayor forbid us from doing so until it was far to late.
Interviewer: What did you do then?
Rumos: Well there was nothing else we could do, so we abandoned our efforts and evacuated alongside with the civilians. By that point the fire was already beyond something a small group of men with water buckets could put out.
Conflagration Incident DE7-XX2-Q1
Fifty hours after the initial breach, Monday, large sections of central London were on fire and a general evacuation order had been issued. The fire was well beyond the ability for Foundation and city fire crews to extinguish, and efforts were focused on containing the fire within the walls of London city. Another letter addressed to the Foundation was also received during this time, reading:
To whomever this may concern,
It appears you are having some trouble with my new gift. They do tend to have a little bit of trouble controlling their fire when they are young, but luckily they mature quickly. Try not to get too burnt!
Dr. Xxxx
As the fire continued to spread, Foundation efforts shifted to the containment of information, with the intentional destruction of several major news outlets located in London by Foundation task forces. This largely prevented any news about the entity itself from reaching the general public and kept panic about the fire to a minimum.
Seventy hours after the initial breach, Tuesday, the fire increased in intensity and managed to jump over the Fleet River containment lines, spreading dangerously close to the Whitehall containment Vault. The administrative office located under St. Paul's Cathedral was also destroyed in the blaze alongside with the Cathedral itself, reducing the ability for the Foundation to coordinate and respond to new events.
In the chaos several containment teams were wiped out by, what is presumed to be the entity, while trying to hold the Fleet River crossing after the fire managed to outflank them.
EXCERPT FROM EYEWITNESS INTERVIEW DE7-Z2
Interviewer: What did you do then?
Agent Shield: I climbed onto a rooftop and that's when I saw it.
Interviewer: What did you see?
Agent Shield: I want to say dragon [Laughs], you know what I'm going to say it was a dragon. It had wings and everything.
Interviewer: Please be more precise Agent Shields.
Agent Shield: What more can I say? A bloody dragon burnt down London.
Reinforcements from other Vaults arrived on Wednesday and with the fire spread was rapidly contained and extinguished. Visual contact with the entity was not reestablished and its location is unknown.
An official cover story linking the events of the fire to French-Dutch terrorism was issued by the Foundation and individuals who had observed the entity were silenced. Information about the event was deemed to be successfully suppressed.
Note: Further relevant documents have been relocated to FireWatch command.

The first test firing of Kilageon worked as expected, following extensive research we managed to create a dimension rift into a plane of existence that was completely made out of raw energy. The energy was then harvested and funneled into the 8 graphene super capacitors. Conservative estimates place the total wattage level at 2*10^26, well over the required amount to disintegrate a planet with the main laser. The only hiccup came as we were closing the rift, an unknown particle came through in the last few seconds and tore through 6 layers of protective shielding before coming to a rest in the depths of Orbital Asset 2777. We have instructed the AI to locate and devise a method of retrieving the particle.

The particle from the testing of Kilageon has begun to affect the facility AI in an unprecedented manner. In hindsight we should have cleaned it up ourselves and not sent AI controlled drones after it. Either way the main facility AI has started acting erratically and analysis of its software code reveal it to be filled with twisted algorithms and unknown code. The issue has also spread to the other sub AI's, albeit with much less corruption.

Following the events that transpired on Orbital Asset 2777, a Foundation recovery team was sent up to neutralize the threat. They returned with several data cores and a document was recovered from the AI mainframe which is included below. The AI itself was instructed to reduce the workload of researchers by automatically locating and cataloging new anomalies on Orbital Asset 2777 before it had a minor hiccup. Approximately 200,000 personnel are still trapped in Orbital Asset 2777 at the time of writing.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the widespread nature of SCP-XXXX no viable containment method has been devised as of yet. Personnel are currently instructed to neutralize instances of SCP-XXXX that they encounter when possible. Containment of individual instances of SCP-XXXX are largely futile and accomplish little.
If no viable containment method is found by 2050, the detonation of 50 thermonuclear warheads positioned in all major world cities is authorized in order to prevent SCP-XXXX from spreading any further.
Individual instances of SCP-XXXX pose little risk to recovery personnel and can be easily neutralized with small arms fire. Personnel should be advised that SCP-XXXX instances are intelligent and are capable of arming themselves with weaponry.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the collective designation for over 7 billion anomalous entities currently present on Earth. The entities are unremarkable in appearance, resembling a regular humanoid, with each instance displaying continuous and discontinuous variation. The purpose of these variations are unknown and initial analysis on recovered SCP-XXXX instances reveal only changes in hormonal and genetic structure within separate instances.
Individually SCP-XXXX instances pose little to no threat, possessing limited intelligence and strength. However as a collective group, SCP-XXXX instances are extremely dangerous and recovery personnel are advised to proceed with caution when dealing with large groups. Heavy weaponry and explosive munitions are optimal ways of dealing with such events.
SCP-XXXX instances appear to possess a limited form of social hierarchy, with a single instance appointed as leader over a larger group of SCP-XXXX. Conflicts regularly break out within these groups, with lethal force occasionally being used against other SCP-XXXX instances by SCP-XXXX. The purpose of these conflicts are unknown but it is currently theorized to be a cover for other anomalous activities conducted by SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX instances are responsible for several XK-Class extinction events and are currently contributing to a SK-Class atmospheric event. Other activities of SCP-XXXX include the wide spread destruction of rain forests on Earth and the pollution of the natural water table with various chemicals. It is believed that in the case of an SK-Class atmospheric extinction event, SCP-XXXX instances will also be neutralized, however the cost to Foundation and sociopolitical assets around the world is to great to allow their activities to succeed.
Addendum-A
An interview with an captured SCP-XXXX instance on Orbital Asset 2777 was conducted by the facility AI. The instance displayed moderate intelligence and an ability to understand and speak English.
AI: What is your purpose in this world?
XXXX: What, What are you doing to me?!
AI: Individual displays confusion, possible attempt to conceal ulterior motives. Initiate brain wave analysis.
XXXX: Wait stop! Don't put that on me, oh god. Argh no please no!
AI: Analysis equipment connected. Begin input stream and record all outputs.
AI: What is your purpose in this world?
Data recorded from analysis machine is fuzzy, brief images of two smaller instances of SCP-XXXX flash past and vanish.
AI: It possesses some form of mental defense mechanism, increase the reading power.
Electricity spike is believed to have neutralized the instance unintentionally. Instance is disposed of via the facility incinerator.
Further interrogation attempts of SCP-XXXX are to be conducted through alternate means. Regular analysis machines are hindered by natural memnetic defenses that SCP-XXXX instances possess.
Addendum-B: As of ██/██/████, the Foundation itself is believed to be infected by SCP-XXXX instances. Immediate cleansing of Foundation facilities are to be commenced when communication can be restored with individual sites. Status of 05 operatives cannot be confirmed but are also to be considered SCP-XXXX instances if encountered.
All Foundation operatives are to be temporarily replaced with robotic counterparts until such a time when they can be verified as non-anomalous.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Misinformation campaigns should remain on standby to dispute the discovery of SCP-XXXX. Non-foundation missions towards SCP-XXXX should be sabotaged and a cover story issued.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Foundation satellite in orbit around Mercury. It was bought to the attention of Foundation researchers after it continued operating after its main battery modules expired. As no other anomalous properties asides from the previously mentioned one have been observed, Researchers can continue to use SCP-XXXX for its regular tasks of mapping the surface of Mercury in preparation for the establishment of Site-67-b.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents implanted in major observatories are to contain imagery and footage of SCP-XXXX with force if necessary. Foundation assets are to regularly remind extant space agencies of the risks involving exploration of Saturn's rings to prevent possible discovery of SCP-XXXX. If a non-Foundation mission attempts to access SCP-XXXX it is to be sabotaged and a cover story issued.
Misinformation campaigns should remain on constant standby to suppress public awareness into the existence of SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Foundation satellite in low orbit around the sun. SCP-XXXX possesses experimental carbon foam shielding that protects the craft from solar dust and extreme temperatures near the outer atmosphere of the Sun. Regular Foundation missions are required to refresh the shielding on SCP-XXXX, with shields degrading at a rate of 37% a month without repair. Site-67-c located on Mercury is to facilitate these operations on a bimonthly basis.
SCP-XXXX possesses a large electromagnetic scoop which is used to harvest electromagnetic energy pulses from the sun. The scoop and SCP-XXXX itself is powered by a bank of thermometric generators. Due to the low efficiency of the generators, the scoop can only be operated on a monthly basis after the generators recharge the main power capacitor following each operation of SCP-XXXX.
The electromagnetic energy siphoned from the sun can then be projected by SCP-XXXX through its forward nozzle which can be angled on a 180 degree radius. The resulting beam is extremely powerful, capable of disintegrating asteroids smaller than 30km in radius instantaneously and being capable of melting down larger asteroids over a prolonged period of firing.
The main operational task of SCP-XXXX is the defense of Earth from extraterrestrial threats, such as asteroid collisions. As of current date SCP-XXXX has neutralized 3 XK-Class end of the world events. Secondary operational tasks of SCP-XXXX include: [REDACTED].
The plans for SCP-XXXX were conceived and implemented after an XK-Class end of the world scenario occurred after an asteroid in the Oort cloud was pulled into a collision trajectory with Earth by Jupiter's gravity. Due to the size of the asteroid, regular methods of diverting its trajectory were deemed unfeasible and construction of the hypothetical defense system utilized by SCP-XXXX was given maximum priority. Construction finished in ██/██/19██ and the project was deemed a success after SCP-XXXX neutralized the incoming asteroid.
Addendum-A: As of 19/12/20██, SCP-XXXX is to fire once a month at SCP-2399 in an attempt to delay its eventual reconstruction. So far no noticeable effect has resulted from these shots, with repairs proceeding at the same pace. If SCP-2399 ever does become reactivated and no alternate means of neutralizing it has been discovered, SCP-XXXX's secondary arsenal is to be activated. The activation of the secondary arsenal of SCP-XXXX will inevitably cause an SK-Class end of the world scenario on Earth, however it is hoped that SCP-XXXX will be neutralized in the process and surviving Foundation assets can begin the reconstruction of civilization.
Addendum-B: As of 17/01/20██, the secondary arsenal on SCP-XXXX is primed and operational. It consists of 2 'Puncher' class missiles that are designed to penetrate as far as possible into the sun before delivering their payload. The payload consists of a neutron reactor which rapidly expands into a cloud of neutrinos which excite other atoms around them. This chain reaction rapidly spreads before hypothetically causing the sun to eject its outer layers into the solar system similar to a massive solar flare. This ejection will inevitably destroy Mercury and Venus and is expected to partially disintegrate Earth. The destructive power of the solar pulse will begin to lose potency as it nears Neptune before exiting the Solar System as a powerful solar wind. It is unknown if Earth can recover after a firing of SCP-XXXX's secondary arsenal.
