SCP-XXXX, focused on the region of [REDACTED] while closed
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid (see Incident XXXX-2)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to remain sealed in a specialized containment safe capable of controlling temperature and the presence of liquids or gases and their average density. A camera must continuously monitor SCP-XXXX. Should SCP-XXXX assume an exceedingly odd appearance (see Incident XXXX-2), personnel are to investigate further. When not being used in an experiment, SCP-XXXX is to remain closed. Experimentation is to take place in a Level 12 Full Environmental Control Clean Room (see FD:110-8766:9.10 “Issue of Standards for Experimental Laboratories”). Experiments require the approval of the Site Director and must be overseen by at least one Level 4 personnel. No radiological, bio-hazardous or anomalous materials may be used in experimentation without approval from at least one O5 Council member.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a small cylindrical jar with an internal volume of 794.43 cm³. SCP-XXXX is apparently indestructible, both the ceramic material and the paint having proven to be unalterable by any means. All observations that have been preformed indicate that SCP-XXXX is made of non-anomalous materials.
SCP-XXXX, focused on the region of [REDACTED] while open
SCP-XXXX will change its internal and external appearance once every six hours. It has so far always changed to match real places, of varying location and scale, and the painting detail of these locations varies. SCP-XXXX's depictions will change in real time with the location it is depicting; alterations in the terrain of the targeted location are immediately reflected in SCP-XXX's appearance regardless of distance. The internal appearance of the jar itself appears to display a top down view of the location, the internal and external view of the lid displays the 'sky' of the location. Viewing the outside of the jar displays a panoramic view of the location. Notable locations SCP-XXXX has targeted include:
- Site-19.
- Its current location.
- The continent of Europe.
- Mt. Olympus Mons, Mars.
- The Andromeda galaxy.
Whenever any object is placed inside SCP-XXXX and the lid is closed for over a minute, or if the object is inside SCP-XXXX while SCP-XXXX changes locations, the object will vanish and appear at the destination. These objects are scaled up proportionally to the size of other objects depicted in the scenery. (e.g If a cube with an edge of length 1 meter is depicted with an edge length of 1 centimeter in SCP-XXXX, and cube of edge length 2 centimeters is placed inside, the resulting cube will be scaled up to have an edge length of 2 meters.) The atoms themselves do not scale, rather, the required matter is simply created. It is unknown how SCP-XXXX achieves this. For a full list of experiments, please see Experiment Log XXXX.
Recovery Log: SCP-XXXX was recovered in an ancient shrine in ███████, Japan, along with SCP-████ and SCP-███. It is estimated that the shrine had collapsed ████ years ago, and SCP-XXXX had remained untouched since then. It was left on display in Site-██, due to its apparently non-anomalous nature. After Incident XXXX-1 (see below), SCP-XXXX was given its current classification and experiments were undertaken.

Incident Summary XXXX-1: On █/██/████, SCP-XXXX was left open. A house fly (Musca domestica) entered SCP-XXXX as it changed, and reappeared in ███ █████, ██████. The fly's proportions had increased by a factor of ██.███. As expected, [REDACTED]. ██ casualties were sustained along with ██ injuries. Cleanup was undertaken by MTF Kappa-12 and Class A amnestics were administered due to the extreme trauma caused by [REDACTED].
Incident Summary XXXX-2: On 1/██/20██, SCP-XXXX's external appearance assumed a completely black color. Upon opening SCP-XXXX, researchers described viewing what appeared to be “a web of individual luminous points.” Further analysis revealed a portion of it to be similar to the structure of the current observable universe, leading researchers to believe it was targeting the entire universe. The chamber was immediately evacuated to a near vacuum and a small amount of hydrogen gas pumped into the chamber. SCP-XXXX was sealed in this environment and moved to a cryogenic cooler, upon which the temperature around it was lowered to approximately 4º K. After six hours had passed, SCP-XXXX changed locations. Observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation indicated a minor increase in temperature that rapidly vanished. Cover story of hardware malfunction due to unforeseen solar flare was implemented.
Addendum – Abridged Incident Report XXXX-5:
[REDACTED FOR BREVITY]
Incident Report: On ██-█-████, SCP-XXXX targeted a rural landscape which was completely yellow in color. A monitor alert was issued by staff site as described in the Standard Euclid Containment Protocols handbook. Large lifeforms of unknown origin traversed the landscape. It was noted by one staff member that multiple smaller life forms were spotted on the horizon from the side of SCP-XXXX. Visual observation confirmed motion was occurring but could not identify positively if the motion was from living subjects. After six hours, SCP-XXXX targeted █████████, ███████ and the monitor alert was called off.
Post Incident: Contact with Site-██ confirmed testing with SCP-093 was underway at the time of this incident. Collaboration between research staff SCP-XXXX and SCP-093 is under way to determine if SCP-XXXX had in fact targeted the SCP-093 dimension. Contingency procedures are being prepared by Senior HMCL Advisor █████████ if SCP-XXXX is capable of targeting other dimensions or universes.
[REDACTED FOR BREVITY]
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a circular chamber two meters in diameter. The floor of SCP-XXXX is to be kept clean using high-pressured bursts of air at approximately one hour intervals whenever SCP-XXXX is not underneath the pressure jet. Access to this chamber is to be strictly forbidden except for maintenance purposes. SCP-XXXX-2 is to be kept mounted on a swivel turret which is to be in turn mounted on a motorized platform on a circular rail along the perimeter of the room. SCP-XXXX-2's position around the room and angle on the swivel turret are to be autonomously adjusted to establish a perimeter which as to keeps SCP-XXXX 1m away from the wall at all times. Containment staff should be prepared to manually assume control of the rotating turret should SCP-XXXX stray within 1m of the wall.
Should SCP-XXXX-2's turret be rendered immobile or be unable to move along more than 50% of its perimeter, a containment specialist should be allowed immediate access to the containment chamber and manual containment using SCP-XXXX-2 should be established until SCP-XXXX's turret is repaired. Maintenance to SCP-XXXX-2's turret base should be conducted monthly, or whenever SCP-XXXX-2's turret is unable to move across more than 2% of its perimeter for any reason.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an autonomously driven vacuum cleaner with a black cylindrical chassis 35cm in diameter and 9.1cm in height and weighs 3.9 kilograms. It is elevated off its base by 1.1cm. SCP-XXXX has the text “Rmba” stenciled on top in white. Analysis of the source code indicates that, between the “R” and “m”, there are two null (Unicode character code 0x0000) characters. The chassis has the manufacturing label of “jRobot,” although in the source code documentation the author is listed as “Mr. ███████, Anderson Robotics.” Modification of this source code is impossible. SCP-XXXX has no apparent power source and has continued its motion (at 4cm/s) since its containment. SCP-XXXX is apparently indestructible.
When SCP-XXXX comes into contact with matter it will shift its Humes resonant phase and become incorporeal in nature. During this phase shift SCP-XXXX can pass through any matter including furniture, although it will never fall through the “ground.” Any matter which passes under the elevated portion of SCP-XXXX's chassis which is a “non-furniture” item will be converted to energy through an unknown means. The energy released by small (roughly under 1 gram) of matter is capable of being contained by SCP-XXXX underneath itself through unknown means. This energy is apparently absorbed into SCP-XXXX. If this limit is exceeded, when SCP-XXXX leaves the region of space where this energy was released, the energy will disperse according to the known laws of thermodynamics.
SCP-XXXX was recovered alongside 3 infrared lasers (SCP-XXXX-1 through -3) which establish a containment perimeter. When SCP-XXXX crosses over one of these lasers, it turns a randomized number of degrees and then continues its motion. These lasers originally formed a triangular perimeter for SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 was lost when SCP-XXXX drove directly into a corner of the triangle. SCP-XXXX-3 was destroyed during an SCP-███ containment breach. SCP-XXXX does not recognize any other lasers, including those which have the exact frequency profile as the original lasers recovered with SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-2 has no obvious power source and has never ceased function. Further research into reproducing the original lasers is ongoing.
Recovery Log: SCP-XXXX was retrieved from █████████, █████ █████ after a massive electromagnetic spike was detected from Observatory-██. After █████ casualties SCP-XXXX was successfully retrieved and moved to Site-██. Cover story of underground nuclear testing was established and the appropriate levels of radioisotopes were dispersed into the atmosphere.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently uncontained. It is unknown how widespread the presence of SCP-XXXX is and by what vectors SCP-XXXX is passed on. It is known that over 99% of the world’s population is currently infected by SCP-XXXX.
Development of memetic inoculation and mnestics is ongoing but exceedingly difficult due to the complex nature of SCP-XXXX. Relevant personnel All personnel reading this document should consult Project-XXXX-Θ after finishing the document and should devote as much effort as possible to the continued development of Project-XXXX-Θ. Although inoculation is unavailable, screening for all known forms of transmission of SCP-XXXX should be applied to any communication to Overwatch Command.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Foundation-made anti-memetic meme which was used as part of a coverup of a containment breach. SCP-XXXX-1 is the anti-memetic payload delivered, and SCP-XXXX-2 refers collectively to the memetic vectors by which SCP-XXXX-1 is delivered.
SCP-XXXX-1’s anti-memetic properties are known to target:
- An SCP object and information related to its containment breach.
- SCP-XXXX-2
- As a side effect of knowing about SCP-XXXX’s original targets, SCP-XXXX-1 also targets itself
SCP-XXXX-2 collective is a highly complex group of Foundation-made memetic agents which deliver SCP-XXXX-1 as their payload. The complete list of agents has been lost, but a reduced partial list is as follows:
- SCP-XXXX-1 (making SCP-XXXX-1 a memetically self-propagating antimeme)
- SCP-XXXX-2
- A collection of at least seven symbols which have been introduced into common culture
- A collection of at least twelve phrases which have been introduced into common culture
- It is known that persistent minor shifts in behavioral patterns are caused by SCP-XXXX-2 and are a vector for infection. The exact behaviors which cause this are unknown.
Due to the extreme measures taken by the Foundation to disseminate SCP-XXXX-1, it is suspected that whatever object caused the original containment breach is extremely dangerous. Should the entire Foundation become infected with SCP-XXXX, the results are potentially catastrophic. Currently, there are only two known groups which are un-infected by SCP-XXXX: Overwatch Command, and the containment staff formerly assigned to the SCP object targeted by SCP-XXXX (see Addendum 01). It is of the utmost importance that these two groups not be exposed to SCP-XXXX.
Addendum 01: Through the extensive efforts of participants in Project-XXXX-Θ, it was determined that knowledge of the SCP object targeted by SCP-XXXX is not a vector of transmission. Upon finding SCP-XXXX project files which revealed the original target of SCP-XXXX, Agent ███████ immediately relayed to MTF Eta-10 “See No Evil” (partially uninfected at the time) plans for a triple-blinded transfer of the target of SCP-XXXX and the relevant containment staff. Thanks to the fast action of Eta-10 command and agents, the object and relevant personnel have been transferred to [REDACTED] without infection. The SCP object which was the original target of SCP-XXXX was not recovered.

The following is the reassignment letter sent to researchers who were to work on SCP-XXXX. Recovered by Dr. █████████
To Dr. ███
Greetings. You have been selected to work on special project FORGETFUL REVERENCE. Your research into memetic and anti-memetic agents precedes you, and it is thusly that you have been assigned to FORGETFUL REVERENCE per the direct order of Overwatch Command.
This assignment is not optional. You are to report to your new station at Site-█ in 48 hours or face termination of employment from the Foundation.
Dr. ██████████
Special Director, FORGETFUL REVERENCE
The following is the project description on the introductory page on the FORGETFUL REVERENCE internal server. Recovered by Dr. █████████
Special Project FORGETFUL REVERENCE
Project FORGETFUL REVERENCE was created to replace amnestics due to the difficulty of continued amnestic production and objections from the Foundation Ethics Committee. The Foundation’s increased and ever developing understanding of sentiohazardous anomalies has lead the Ethics Committee and HMCL Board of Directors to motion for the direction of Foundation resources towards creating anomalous targeted antimemes as an alternative to the amnestic drugs which are currently employed by the Foundation.
To this end, you, as one of the Foundation’s top sentioscientists, have been selected to participate in Special Project FORGETFUL REVERENCE. This project is highly classified and should only be discussed with relevant personnel at risk of termination of life. All communication should occur between special project intramail and only on the special project site.

Subject: Development of agent FR-W78
Dr. 12,
I’m pleased to hear that you’ll be taking over development of agent W78. I’ve been told you’ve requested an informal summary of our recent progress, which is why I am contacting you.
W78 is an aggressive agent, which is designed to have a large selection of payloads and a variety of vectors of transmission. Our attempts to adapt configurable visual cognitohazards has caused some minor setbacks due to the messy nature of testing our results, but we believe that W78 will be ready to field within the next quarter.
General Montauk has requested an order of W78 for reassignment protocols off a special project. I look forward to working with you on developing W78 as the new amnestic.

Subject: URG E NT: [sic] W78 Breach
Dr. 12,
Innoculation [sic] against the new W78 memes for the breach earlier today isn’t ready, but [REDACTED] was exposed to them earlier today while he was workig [sic] on it. Containment procedures should be put in place and we ned [sic] to remove the W78 memes from pop culture ASAP. Hopefully we won’t have to scrub the whole team, but in all likelyhood [sic] we’ll need to get other teams working on the inoculation.
