Item #: SCP-2452
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Containment and prevention of SCP-2452 instances is currently impossible. Mobile Taskforce PSI-9 ("Driftwood") is to be dispatched to any location showing signs of SCP-2452 activity. MTF Ψ-9 is also tasked with tracking all subjects and objects believed to have been expelled from 2452-A, and bring them into custody. Subjects are to be studied, interrogated and then released after the administration of B-amnesiac, with the constant surveillance and approval of a level 3/2452 researcher.
Web analysis bot DELTA-32 ("J.R.R") is to be kept in constant operation and checked for defects twice a week by a Level-2 staff member familiar with its operation. When functional, the bot will search all worldwide government owned websites dedicated to law enforcement and medical records of psychiatric patients for any descriptions with over 85% similarity to collected data about 2452-A.
Foundation Personnel are not allowed to come in contact with SCP-2452, given the hostility of its inhabitants and the low chance of recovery from 2452-A.
Containment Procedure Update ██/██/1989: Automated surveillance station 2452 has been constructed 7 km east-northeast of the city of Płońsk in Poland, under the guise of a weather station. In the event of an unusual strong localized SCP-2452 manifestation within a 12 km radius, an alarm based on SCP-2452-8 will notify all personnel assigned. Maintenance is to be made every four (4) months.
Description: SCP-2452 is a space-time phenomenon that connects our universe to the one labeled 2452-A.
Direct observation of an SCP-2452 instance by Foundation research personnel has not yet occurred. Eyewitness reports state that the anomaly is undetectable to human eyes but can carry through sound and enough particles to sense aromas.
The anomaly absorbs and disrupts local radio waves and is thus detectable with equipment as simple as a cellular phone. It is estimated to be less than 7 meters in diameter.
The anomaly manifests in light levels lower than 0.001 lux.
The manifestations have a duration between milliseconds and up to an hour.
Any increase in light levels will make all SCP-2452 cease.
2452-A is an isolated alternative version of Europe. Its topography is widely different from ours. Likewise is the climate, with jungle in the region of northern Ukraine and a large desert in the region of Poland, for example. Around this world is a wall of variable height, material, style and craftsmanship. The Wall is said by the locals to be as old as the world itself, which according to legend is around 3300 years. Beyond The Wall is seemingly an empty void. Evidence points to the conclusion that this is an alternate to the planet Tellus with an existing area outside The Wall. Such evidence include: the orbits of the sun and moon, the force of the gravitational pull, the existence of a an atmosphere and a magnetic field, and the curvature of the horizon.
The overall culture and technology of 2452-A is comparable with those found in the fictional genre of Fantasy, comparable to Europe ca. 1500-1820. There are a variety of humanoid races and other intelligent species, a majority of which can be found by name or with an accurate description within our own mythology. Common traits among its inhabitants is impulsive violent behavior, erratic behaviour and mental degradation. These, and other traits have witnesses described as "Madness" or "Insanity". Research is underway to determine if a large quantity of SCP's and/or anomalous objects may have originated from 2452-A and whether they should be reclassified.
Subjects expelled from an SCP-2452 instance have reported being in 2452-A for period ranging from hours to decades, when their disappearance in our reality lasted a maximum of 43 minutes. Subjects can be expelled from any SCP-2452 instance globally, regardless of entry point. The 2452-A side of an SCP-2452 instance is always in the area corresponding to the western half of Ukraine. The departure from 2452-A has differed widely, with most in the form of help from various locals using non standardized magic. Most inhabitants are highly hostile towards the notion of other worlds and such claims can lead to mental institutionalization or a death penalty for heresy, depending on the society present.
SCP-2452-8 is a ship's compass, with a diameter of 12,4 cm, made mostly of steel and brass. Engraved on the back is the following: "Metal Movers Compass No2, #573". The compass needle does not react to magnetic fields except from 2452-A's naturally occurring one. When influenced by 2452-A's magnetic field, and with the dial in contact with skin, any object containing metal that is being handled by the subject moves horizontally in the direction of the compasses' transit lock. The force is determined by the percentage of metal in the mass of the object, and the vertical angle of the transit lock, with no pull when angled completely vertical. No experiments in lab environment have been conducted.
SCP-2452-8 was discovered by MTF Ψ-9 when investigating a SCP-2452 manifestation, glued to the gas pedal of a heavily damaged car. The car had no fuel in its tank.
SCP-2452-8 is currently in the possession of MTF Ψ-9 to be used as a SCP-2452 tracking device incorporated in the alarm system of Automated surveillance station 2452.
Addendum-1:On 01/09/1972, the 184th apprehended subject reveals during interrogation that she was aided by a human originating from outside The Wall. The human, Pramod, was a soldier sent in by the "Guardians of The Wasteland" tasked with terminating a "mage" who threatened the magical barrier and structure of The Wall. Thus preventing The Madness from escaping. After his squadron failed and most were killed, he decided to stay, to be presumed missing in action.
We can from this interrogation derive that The Wall is the correspondent of a Thaumiel class structure designed to keep a Keter class anomaly contained, and prevent it from tainting the rest of that planet and creating an YK-class End of Life as We Know It scenario. SCP-2452 as a phenomena was an unforeseen consequence of the isolation and creation of a pocket universe, "pushing The Wasteland away from its main universe, against the fabric of ours".
The subject was bearing Recovered Document 2452-34, a map with geographical calculations of the approximate centre of 2452-A and the origin of the anomaly. The center corresponds in our universe to Płońsk, Poland.

Addendum-2: On 11/15/1993 22:29, a human male contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in the city of Victoria in Texas and was later redirected to the Unusual Incidents Unit (UIU). Two (2) days later web analysis bot DELTA-32 found a 99,4% data consistency in the interview log of UIU with the subject. The subject was apprehended by MTF Ψ-9 and brought to Humanoid Containment Site-06-3. UIU personnel were given class B-Amnesiac and all records of the incident were expunged, per routine.
Subject gave his credentials as being Constantine ████████ an IT and demolitions expert in a FBI Special Weapons and Tactics Teams (FBI SWAT). When confronted with the fact that neither that specific team existed nor his identity, he calmly explained his origin as from a "parallel universe" and that he must have ended up "here" trying to return "home" from 2452-A. His entrance to 2452-A was their geographical equivalent of between the northwest border of Italy and central France.
His "world" was given the dimensional label 3BV-8R2-F5S. Below are a list of major differences from our timeline:
- The Scandinavian countries were involved in the colonization of America under the claims that Vikings was the first settlers.
- The word 'America' is nonexistent and 'Amergie' is used in its place.
- Norway and Sweden served the same function as the United Kingdom in the "Amergian civil war"
- The United States of Amergie has a political ideology much closer to Scandinavian Socialism than our counterpart.
Note: This new evidence suggests that different regions of 2452-A are "closer" to other "realities", and that SCP-2452 thus may be a multiversal anomaly.
Update: 06/05/1994: Agent Constantin ████████ joins MTF Ψ-9 as a permanent member.
Work in progress. Needs to be less "Generic Magic/Cursed Item"
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-2 is to be stored in a in a reinforced, fireproof, high-security tungsten locker in an airtight vault at Area-02, outfitted with standard smoke detectors, thermal imaging alarm and high power vacuum pumps.
The air in the security locker has to be at a humidity between 50-60%, to preserve the wood in SCP-XXXX-2.
SCP-XXXX-1 is to be stored inside SCP-XXXX-2.
SCP-XXXX-2 will be locked with a standard three(3) digit combination padlock, with "000" as the correct combination. The digits "000" are engraved on the front of the padlock.
The lock is solely to hinder the effects of SCP-XXXX-1. It should be as easy as possible to open once all other security measures have been passed to discourage damage of SCP-XXXX-2. There is no need to render SCP-XXXX-2 useless on top of a containment breach. That would only be a step closer a request to O5 for reclassification of this artifact as Keter.
-Dr. Mats Newwood
The condition of SCP-XXXX-2 is to be evaluated one(1) week before each full moon. If SCP-XXXX-2 has deteriorated to the state that either its engravings are less than completely readable, or light is able to enter its interior, it will be transferred to an on-site restoration team before approval from a minimum of two(2) expert descriptive linguistics.
If SCP-XXXX-2 sustains damage that is unable to be repair, SCP-XXXX-1 is to be affixed to one D-Class personnel, attached with remote controlled explosives with a self destruct mechanism that activates at 500°C. The subject is from then referred to as SCP-XXXX-a-#. Construction of a new SCP-XXXX-2 must begin immediately under supervision of current head researcher.
Research personnel are to be rotated after 100 hours of visual exposure or at the end of each month. Psychic and physical evaluations shall be conducted weekly. Any dreams related to SCP-XXXX-1 must be reported the morning after.
Research on SCP-XXXX must be approved by head researcher and two(2) other level three (3) personnel. No further research is to be conducted until Special Containment Procedures have been updated minimize damage to both structure and personnel.
Description: : SCP-XXXX-1 is a gold cuff bracelet in design identical to those from the Ptolemaic kingdom. It has the measurements 9cm in length, 6cm in diameter and with an opening across the bottom 3cm in width. Engraved on the bracelet is a sun in Hellenistic design. Age is impossible to determinate because of the objects high resistance to most kinds of radiation. The object can sustain physical damage in the form of displacing the metal but not sever any part of it.
Being affixed to a SCP-XXXX-a subject, or heat above 1064.18°C will repair any damage on SCP-XXXX-1 (further increase of temperature have no effect).
Visual contact with SCP-XXXX-1 instills an urge to own and wield it. The compulsion amplifies with longer exposure. The obsession escalates until the subject try to secure SCP-XXXX-1 for theirself. A sign before this late stage is frequent dreams about the object.
SCP-XXXX-2 is a chest made out of Quercus robur (pedunculate oak) with the measurements 40cm x 10cm x 10cm. Carbon dating of scrape samples, analysis of material, design and craftsmanship all suggests that the origins of the box is southern to middle Germany in early of 18th century.
Inside the lid of SCP-XXXX-2 are engravings in ancient Greek and Egyptian consistent with the presumed age of SCP-XXXX-1, but assumed by experts to be from the late 18th century. The engravings are an incantation that prevents a XXXX-1-event, if the corresponding engravings are blessed by a devote practitioner of Helios or Ra worship or SCP-XXXX-a. Attempts to have multiple SCP-XXXX-2 instances have so far been futile.

Addendum-1: 19██/██/██. The original SCP-XXXX-2 was destroyed. The designation SCP-XXXX-2 is now assigned to a standard military wooden munitions box, 30cm x 20cm x 20cm, with identical engravings made by the now terminated SCP-XXXX-a-23.
SCP-XXXX is reclassified from Safe to Euclid.
The first of SCP-XXXX-1 active effects (Referred to as a XXXX-1-event) triggers if the following conditions are met:
*It is after both sunset and moonrise relative to the horizon of the object
*There is a at least 99% illuminated full moon relative to the horizon of the object
*The object is not inside an intact SCP-XXXX-2 with its lid closed and locked (any lock is sufficient as long as it requires a key of sorts)
*The object is not affixed to a SCP-XXXX-a subject
SCP-XXXX-1 will start to emit heat of 33°C. This temperature increases exponentially with an approximate of 70% (example of the first cycle) each hour with maximum temperature at lunar zenith. After moonset or sunrise, whichever comes first, the object will emit less heat at the same exponential rate, until the objects temperature reaches the same temperature as its surroundings consistent with the heat capacity of gold.
The object will aside from thermal radiation emit gamma, X-ray and UV radiation to scale with the solar rays of our sun, proportionate to the temperature (1.82% per 1000°C).
The percent factor increases by 10% for each XXXX-event. Affixing it to a SCP-XXXX-a subject resets the percentage to 70%.

When SCP-XXXX-1 is put on a subjects forearm following process begins:
2 seconds after application: The gap in the bracelet closes, making it a cylinder. It is then impossible to remove without amputation or breaking several bones in the subjects’ hand and wrist.
10-20 minutes after sunset: The subject begins feeling nausea and a low level of paranoia. The object emits heat of 33°C.
3-5 hours after sunset: The subject claims to hear whispers consistent with auditory schizophrenia. The voices become clearer until the subject is unable to ignore their presences. The voices are overlapping and repeating the phrase "The light never [becomes] silent" in a mixture of and ancient Egyptian and Greek. The subject understands this message even without precious knowledge of the languages.
None other than the subject is able to hear these voices and sound recording yields no results, even though MRI-scan shows brain activity identical to a real auditory stimuli.
23:00 - 01:00: The eyes of the subject undergoes a transformation into what spectral analysis assigns as semi solid state of gold which shines with a faint glow of circa one lux (1lx). The subject is still capable of sight by unknown means.
4 seconds before sunrise: The nausea and auditory hallucinations will cease but the sense of an unknown presence remains.
<Process Complete>
SCP-XXXX-a gains access to a memory storage of sorts stored in SCP-XXXX-1 containing brief knowledge of:
- Languages: Ancient Egyptian, ancient and modern Greek, German, French, Aramaic, Italian and Spanish.
- Egyptian and Greek mythology, including lesser known folklore
- Geography of the area around the Mediterranean Sea
- Deficient knowledge of ancient history before 30BC
- Very sparse knowledge of west-European culture 1770-1820
- Previous SCP-XXXX-a subjects, 13 before containment by the Foundation
- The incantation and ritual for the engraving of SCP-XXXX-2
When affixed to a subject, SCP-XXXX-1 is impossible to remove without the expiration of SCP-XXXX-a.
The subjects Schizophrenic tendencies will develop into a Depersonalization disorder that eventually transcend into a Dissociative identity disorder. Such interchangeable psychological disorder is next to unrecorded outside the extent of The Foundation. The psychological distress have a common theme of portraying the subject as a Greek warrior and sometimes the more grandiose delusion of being a god. Some inherent willpower seem to slow the onset of mental illness.
The body heat increases when the subjects psychological health worsen, and have been recorded to reach up to 200°C without any ill effects on SCP-XXXX-a.
SCP-XXXX-a is moderately cooperative in tests related to SCP-XXXX-1, but has been reported as "more than helpful" in the manufacturing of SCP-XXXX-2 instances.
Origin: SCP-XXXX was obtained by agent Manuel C███████, stationed at the “Germanisches Nationalmuseum”, Nuremberg, Germany. During a routine X-ray scan of a chest sent in by a donor it was revealed that the bracelet inside sent out a radioactive charge. The object was sent to Storage Site-77 in Italy, for analysis.
It was on Site-77 that the first XXXX-1-event recorded occurred. After which the object was relocated to its current fireproof containment vault on Area-02 and the donor taken in for interrogation. The donor, Mr. Wilhelm H███, claims that he came into the possession of SCP-XXXX during the demolition of a tavern owned by his family for four(4) generations, bought by his great grandfather in the early 19th century. He told that the grandfather, P███ H███(SCP-XXXX-a-13), was a successful merchant until an accident, now confirmed to be connected with SCP-XXXX-1, rendered him seemingly blind.
Addendumn-2: 200█/██/██.
SCP-XXXX-a-22 expressed hostile refusal of cooperation in the enchantment of a box prepared for the designation SCP-XXXX-2. The subject made claims towards the head researcher that he "Keeps killing my hosts!" and that "I refuse to aid in the creation of a cage for my own imprisonment!"
Video footage supports the claims that "He literately burst into flames", when the subjects body temperature exceeded 600°C.
SCP-XXXX-a-22 was successfully calmed down when reminded of the nature of D-class personnel as death row convicts convicted for heinous crimes.
Future SCP-XXXX-a instances may be distracted from moral dilemma by aiding in the research on low level clearance SCPs with origin from Egypt and Greece, and translation of said countries languages.
Addendum-3: 200█/██/██, 12:07.
Containment breach of SCP-XXXX reported.
Recovered video footage shows a humanoid creature, 2 meters tall, male, muscular physique made out of what is assumed to be burning gold. It attacked research and security personnel, killing ██ and injuring █. The footage also shows it injuring the head researcher before engaging in a brief conversation with him. The entity was terminated within 5 minutes after with a standard hand grenade, by back up security.
Autopsy later reveals that the creature was indeed SCP-XXXX-a-29, previously known as the female D-6485. The only damage done to the body was from the fatal explosion.
Note:No need to include a fabricated interview when I can tell you what he said myself. Becuase I survirved! No. I was spared. He is after the rest of his body! There is a whole set: another cuff, helmet, breastplate, leg protection. All part of his body. He intend to free himself and become Helios and/or Ra again!
-Dr. Mats Newwood
Addendum-4: 201█/██/██.
Restoration of SCP-XXXX could not complete in time to prevent a XXXX-1-Event.
The SCP-XXXX-a subject had to be terminated 4 hours after the second cycle
After this event the condition of SCP-XXXX-2 started deteriorating whenever SCP-XXXX-1 is placed within it.
All subjects from SCP-XXXX-30 and after show immediate hostility.
Dr. Mats Newwood is placed on indefinite medical leave. During which no further research are to be conducted.
It is to be assumed that either the consciousness that calls itself "Helios" is a sort of artificial intelligence interface for the use of SCP-XXXX-1. "Programmed" to instill religious conviction in its user, for the effect of producing a fearless warrior.
The second alternative is that we have angered yet another ancient god.
