Item #: X
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-X is to be protected as a wildlife preserve would be, including a four (4) meter tall barbed wire fence. At a minimum, the fence should have a radius that is 100 meters larger than the affected area. Field agents disguised as park rangers are to discourage civilians from entering and escort out civilians who attempt to trespass. These measures are taken so as not to arouse suspicion from the public.
Description: SCP-X is located in a seemingly non-anomalous region of forest located in southern ██████, USA. The forest's vegetation are consistent with what would normally be found in its geographic region and biome, however, no animal life or signs of animal life have been sighted in the region. The total size of the entity is approximately 148 square kilometers. The forest's woody-stemmed trees are collectively referred to as SCP-X.
SCP-X's anomalous properties can be seen upon the examination of the inner layers of the vegetation. Instead of sap and water being transported through the xylem stems, animal blood and other venous contents such as platelets are present. Similarly, fruits of fruit-bearing plants are full of blood and mucous, and wounds on woody stems heal over with platelet scabs and expel pus. The blood in the vessels is entirely deoxygenated, and performs the same functions as the water that non-anomalous plants contain, such as transporting protein and hydrating extremities. The vegetation has not been observed to perform photosynthesis, so it is unknown how the plants obtain these nutrients. No other anomalous properties of SCP-X have been observed.
Over a period of several months between 02/02/20██ and 07/14/20██, SCP-X's xylem vessels converted into animal blood vessels. It is now hypothesized that instances of SCP-X obtain oxygen for metabolic functions as opposed to carbon dioxide, as arteries carry oxygenated blood from the leaves through the stems and trunks, capillaries are present in the roots, and veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the leaves. It is still unknown how instances of SCP-X obtain nutrients.
Similarly to the instance of xylem converting to blood vessels, the fibrous parts of the vegetation have been converted to animal connective tissue or tumor-like tissue. As of 11/01/20██, only the leaves and bark of woody stems of SCP-X instances remain plantlike. If the trend continues, it is hypothesized that SCP-X will eventually entirely be composed of animal tissue. It is still unknown how instances of SCP-X obtain nutrients.
As of 3/15/20██, the leaves of SCP-X have converted to small masses of alveoli and bronchi, encased in sacs of pleural tissue. These sacs vaguely retain their original leaflike size and shape. The sacs also inhale and exhale, much like animal lungs.
As of 9/01/20██, the bark of instances of SCP-X have converted to keratin, similar to fingernails. As of the aforementioned date, all instances of SCP-X have become fully comprised of animal tissue. It is still unknown how instances of SCP-X obtain nutrients.
On 9/06/20██, tests were conducted on samples of SCP-X. The tissues were found to belong to an unknown species. The DNA sequences of the samples showed that the species is in the order Perissodactyla.
On 5/10/20██, four (4) instances of SCP-X were found to have traces of bone tissue in their roots. It is unknown why this extra tissue formed.
On 6/30/20██, a small grove of trees on a property approximately 13 kilometers from the site of SCP-X were reported to be leaking blood from their trunks. Instances or SCP-X is hypothesized to be caused by an airborne virus. Object class changed to Keter. Field agents are to be replaced by MTF units and security protocol Lambda-05 is to be enacted.
On 10/11/20██, three (3) instances of SCP-X uprooted themselves from the ground using their roots as legs. MTF units shot at one of the mobilized entities and successfully killed it. Its body was transported to Research Center 08 for testing. Tests on the infected tissue show that the virus is of an unknown species, so there is no cure.
The mobile instances of SCP-X are very passive and docile in nature. No attempted containment breaches have been attempted thus far.
Item #: SCP-2138
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: The item is kept under constant guard at site [redacted]. Containment is to consist of a solid rosewood box. This box is locked and kept in the center of a room that measures 8 meters by 8 meters by 6 meters. No personnel are aloud within 1 meter of the containment box as the item seems to draw through telepathic means anyone at that range to use it.
Containment and classification is determined based on the fact that subjects using the "pen" are only able to write negative occurrences. Also anything written with the object will happen. This could result in an end of the world scenario.
Description: The item resembles a dip pen which one would commonly use in conjunction with a well of ink. This "Pen" however does not require the afore mentioned ink as it writes in blood which is extracted from the individual using it. The item will mentally affect any person within a 1 meter radius. Subjects have reported feeling an uncontrollable urge to write with the object.
When asked to describe the content they wished to write, subjects reported the most horrific things. Ranging from the death of multiple pets to the gruesome death of the individual themselves. As we did not know the extent of objects abilities it was decided to allow some of the less dangerous tales be written.
Subject D-51582 wrote about a very large spider devouring his beloved cat. Within 15 minutes the cat was fully encased in spider silk and being eaten by a goliath bird eating tarantula.
On another occasion subject D-51668 was aloud to write of his own death. Within seconds of placing the item back into its box he spontaneously combusted and burned for a period of 1 hour. He remained alive and screaming for nearly the entire time.
At this point the item was remotely returned to containment and all further testing has been halted under direct order of O5-8
Addendum 2138-1 O5-3 has requested that we attempt to write a certain scenario via remote control to see if object can be used to create a desired outcome. The request is that a short tale be written involving SCP-049. The story will direct 049 to answer any and all questions put to it.
While I am uneasy about the continuation of testing on these SCPs I shall carry out the test.
Notation: The test was successful in one aspect. We were able to write with the "Pen" using normal ink. However the test was an overall failure. SCP-049 was unresponsive to questioning and in fact refused to speak at all. It appears my theory is correct. Only stories that are negative in nature and inspired by the objects mental telepathy will come to fruition.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard memetic hazard containment locker in Site-14. By itself, the object is inert and thus requires no additional special containment.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a metallic industrial grade on/off button panel. The panel is constructed of non-anomalous galvanized steel and the buttons are comprised of ABS plastic; the "on" button is green while the "off" button is red. The object does not display any additional significant features. When the "on" button is pressed, all human subjects within a five (5) meter radius of SCP-XXXX will begin to display symptoms consistent with those of severe phobias. The proximity to the object does not make a difference in the severity of the fear. The type of phobia varies from subject to subject, but remains the same for each individual subject (See Test Log-01). Subjects will continue to have the symptoms until the "off" button is pressed.
Test Log-01: Five (5) different test subjects have been recruited to take place in experiments testing SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties. The test chamber is a standard testing cell in Site-14, lined with an assortment of objects and images present in an attempt to trigger fear responses in test subjects. SCP-XXXX has been placed on a small table in the center of the room.
Subject: Researcher David Williamson
Subject entered the room and was asked by researchers if anything in the room triggered a fear response. Upon stating the negative, the subject was asked to approach SCP-XXXX and press the "on" button. The subject was then asked to look around the room again. Upon doing so, he flinched at the sight of a syringe, stating that it was "really creepy". After pressing the "off" button, the subject reported no adverse feelings to the syringe, but again felt uneasy when the "on" button was pressed.
I guess you keep the same fear with this thing. It's the same every time you turn it on. -Dr. Marks
Subject: D-3519
The test was conducted in a similar manner as before. Before turning on the device, however, D-3519 reported that a picture of a spider was making her uneasy, stating that she has always had a fear of spiders. Upon pressing the "on" button, however, D-3519 was visibly disturbed at the sight of a bee hive. After pressing the "off" button, D-3519 stated that the bee hive did not bother her, but the picture of the spider still made her uneasy.
It seems that SCP-XXXX has no effect on one's preexisting fears. -Dr. Marks
Subjects: Researcher Adam Briggs and Doctor Jennifer Haynes
The test was conducted in a similar manner as before. While Researcher Briggs reported nothing was bothering him in the room, Doctor Haynes expressed her discomfort at several humanoid puppets on one shelf. When SCP-XXXX was activated, Researcher Briggs exhibited the expected response. He reported that the small size of the cell was uncomfortable, and that he had apparently previously told the researchers about his claustrophobia. Doctor Haynes, however, showed infatuation towards the puppets that she was previously afraid of. She reported that they were "very nice looking" and "erotic, in a weird way".
Subjects seem to express wholeheartedly that the fears activated by SCP-XXXX have always been existent. Researcher Briggs was somewhat ticked at the researchers putting him a small room when they had apparently always known he had claustrophobia. SCP-XXXX also works both ways, instilling both fears and fetishes. Doctor Haynes went from having Pupaphobia to having Pupaphilia.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a 9" by 9" by 9" wooden box. By itself, the object is inert and needs no more further containment procedures are needed.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a industrial 3" by 3" by 2" hand-held on/off button. The object does not display any anonymous properties or features, other than some light scratches on the top area. When the "on" button is pressed, all human subjects within a 5-meter radius of SCP-XXXX will experience a sudden fear of their surroundings. The fear can be closely compared to mechanophobia, and the fear is strongest around the object. Subjects, now known as SCP-XXXX-1, will continue to have the fear until the "off" button is pressed. This can prove to be very difficult because anyone who enters the 5-meter radius will obtain the fear. Turning off the machine is best done via remote-controlled drone.
Addendum: SCP-XXXX was used to cause mass fear at Site- ██'s cafeteria. Dr.███'s mental state declined until he stole the object, ran to the cafeteria, and switched it on. 13 people were affected. The object was switched off and Dr.███ was questioned and eventually terminated.
Item #: SCP-X
Object Class: Safe

SCP-XXXX, depicting SCP-XXXX-1
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-X is to be contained in a sealed opaque envelope stored in a standard memetic hazard locker in Site-24. In the event of a containment breach, personnel in charge of retrieving SCP-X are to avoid directly looking at it.
Description: SCP-X is a picture printed on instant developing film. The picture itself depicts a human (henceforth referred to as SCP-X-1) sitting on the floor of a small room, while solving a Rubik’s cube. The figure is wearing a plain white mask, obstructing his or her face. Written on the bottom of the picture is “Initiation, October 7th”.
SCP-X is a memetic hazard, affecting those who view the original image. Because of this, the image included in this article has been altered by obstructing the face of the individual. Subjects who view the image feel as though they have forgotten something that they were supposed to do, but cannot remember what it was. Prolonged exposure to the image causes subjects to believe that the person in the image does not want the image to be viewed. Subjects believe that SCP-X-1 sends messages to them in different ways, asking that they not view the image. Subjects have reported that SCP-X-1 speaks to them via auditory hallucinations, rearranging text to spell messages, and changing the speech of video depictions of humans, animals, or other objects speaking.
SCP-X was recovered in an abandoned house in ██████,████, USA. It was found in a room among items that would indicate that people lived in it. Other such items included: two (2) beds, a small bookshelf, and a lamp. The plumbing in the house was also crudely fixed, to allow water to flow through the bathroom faucet and to allow the toilet to flush. On the top shelf of the bookshelf a solved Rubik's cube, believed to be the one depicted in SCP-X, was found as well. On the back door of the house, a wooden sign reading "Arrhythmia members only. Only the secret knock will let you in." was nailed. True to the sign's message, the back door is impossible to open, despite the lack of a locking mechanism.

Begin Interview Log XXXX-A
Interviewer: Dr. Sparks
Interviewee: Mr. D███ B████, a person who lives near the area where SCP-X was recovered. He is referred to in this interview as "B".
Dr. S: Good morning, D███.
B: Good morning, Doctor. Why am I here again?
Dr. S: We just want to know a little about you experiences with the group in your area.
B: What, that weird cult? Those guys were weirdos. Always running around the
neighborhood, wearing white masks and handing out flyers and asking people if they were as "intellectual" as them. They did all sorts of weird things to prove their intelligence. Like they would challenge people to games of chess, and always win, or solve Rubik's cubes really quickly. Honestly, it was impressive, but they were still creepy and a bit shady.
Dr. S: A bit shady?
B: Yeah, they would have these initiation ceremonies in an abandoned house down the street. Don't tell me they weren't dropping acid or something in there. Anyway, they were really keen on keeping whatever was going on in there secret. One time my friend Katherine tried to sneak in and watch through one of the windows. She said as soon as she jumped over the fence to the yard, one of the guys ran out with a baseball bat. He said "We advise you to leave. NOW.", so she said "What if I don't?", and the guy took a few steps closer with the bat over his head and said it again. She got so spooked she took off running and didn't look back. I asked her why she didn't call the police, and she said that she had gotten a call later that night from an unknown number. The voice was one of those automated text to speech ones, and it said all of her personal information - address, full name, date of birth, where she worked, you name it - and ended with "Do not call the police. This is your only warning." She recorded it and sent it to me, so I can provide it for you. So yeah, these guys were legit about staying secret.
Dr. S: Is there anything else you know about this society?
B: Yeah, I worked with this guy. He was kind of quiet, talked to himself a lot. But he was a genius. He could do insane math in his head and he would subscribe to several newspapers so he could do 5 crosswords a day. Anyway, this guy was apparently a part of the society. He said one day he got a typewritten letter in the mail with some random text on it. He cracked the code and found directions to the house, as well as the date of the next ceremony. When he went, all of the guys were waiting in the house for him. They were all wearing white masks. The initiation ceremony was like any other, really, but instead of having to streak down the street or drink a bottle of hot sauce, he had to recite pi to as far as he could and provide the definition and origin of any word given to him. He passed and was allowed in, so he took this oath. He said it included things like "I swear to never disclose the secrets of the universe that I will learn" and "While this organization's existence is not secret, its inner workings and methods are". He had to wear the mask whenever in the presence of the other members, because of some rule about how "your identity doesn't matter, only your brainpower". He said he learned some crazy stuff while he was in, some of which he wished he hadn't known. They also just apparently know if you know about them, so if you know too much, they send you phone calls and can screw with your mind. Anyway, it was eventually too much for him and he asked if he could stop coming. They said yes, and gave him another coded message, but it was harder than the first. It gave him instructions on how to go somewhere to get his mind wiped by a certain date, but he didn't show up because he couldn't decode it in time. One day at work, he told me all of this and said his "termination date" was yesterday. He didn't show up the next day, and police found his body in his house, throat slit. There was no sign of a struggle, and whoever did it covered it up as a suicide pretty well. The other day I got a call, and it was just like the one that my friend got after she found the initiation ceremony. This one said I'm not worthy enough to know, so they're going to find and kill me. You're safe though, Doctor. I didn't tell you what they don't want me to know.
Dr. S: Thank you for your time, D███.
B: Bye, Doctor. Make sure to check the news in my area for my suicide.
True to his statement, D███'s body was found two days later in his home, with apparent death from hanging. A suicide note was found, as well as several bottles of alcoholic beverages. These beverags were found in his body, and it is presumed that members of the organization forcefully made him drink them.

Below is the recorded phone message that was sent to the infiltrator of the ceremony.
There was something about this article that I forgot to fix. If anyone reading this spots a grammatical error or something please let me know. – Dr. Carpenter
Item Description: A seemingly standard, non-anomalous U.S. quarter. However, when flipped, it has a 33% chance of landing on a third side, which is not normally visible. This third side depicts an engraving similar in appearance and format to the special state quarters, however, it depicts a state that does not exist. The state depicted is called "New Caulde", and according to the coin, was founded in 1919. The engraving depicts a hammer and a nail over a stylized image of a tree.

Current Status: In storage. Testing must be approved by Doctor Cox.
Item #: SCP-2493
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2493-1 is to wear SCP-2493-2 at all times. SCP-2493-1 is to be kept in its modified humanoid containment cell at Lunar Area-32. The cell is to be filled with pure helium gas at a pressure of approximately 50 kilopascals. The interior surface of SCP-2493-1's containment cell is to be padded with a three centimetre thick layer of soft rubber. No sharp corners or points are to be present within SCP-2493-1's cell; all such corners or points are to be removed or padded. In the event of SCP-2493-2 becoming punctured, it and SCP-2493-1 are to be immediately jettisoned from the facility. MTF Gamma-4 ("Blondebeard's Crew") is to be notified to adjust the trajectory of the anomaly as required, and to prevent it from entering the earth's atmosphere and causing a UK-Class Global Irradiation event.
SCP-2493-1 is to be supplied at least 2 kilograms of waste matter daily, to a maximum of 10 kilograms.
Revision 1: Once weekly, a signal requesting contact is to be sent through the space-time anomaly located on the rear of SCP-2493-2 by use of a 4 MHz radio wave. The entity is also to be under surveillance at all times, and any attempts to hinder communication with the entity’s location of origin are to be reported to the site director immediately.
SCP-2493-1 is authorized to request updates to its containment procedures, unless such updates would violate procedures set out prior to this revision. A list of SCP-2493-1’s requests is to be submitted to the Ethics Committee on a bi-weekly basis for review and approval or rejection. Proposals to rescind approved requests are to be submitted to the Ethics Committee; any other attempts by staff to impede approved requests will result in severe reprimands at the discretion of the Overseer Council. The full list of approved and rejected requests are outlined in Document 2493; “Approved & rejected requests by SCP-2493-1 for updates to containment procedures.” (See Addendum 3.)
Description: SCP-2493 is the collective designation for two components; SCP-2493-1 and SCP-2493-2.
SCP-2493-1 is a male humanoid entity approximately 1.7 meters in height, and weighing approximately 95 kilograms. SCP-2493-1 is composed entirely of antimatter, but physically appears to be an ordinary human. SCP-2493-1 responds to the name of Joe Smith, and claims to originate from an alternate dimension comprised primarily of substances with similar atomic composition to his. Psychological evaluation of SCP-2493-1 has revealed that it suffers from nostophobia1 and an obsession with completing their mission. (See Addendum.)
SCP-2493-2 is a suit comprised entirely of a previously undiscovered substance that SCP-2493-1 refers to as ‘Buffer’, superficially resembling an airtight type 1 hazmat suit. This substance is entirely non-baryonic in nature, uniformly reflects all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation resulting in a mirrored surface, and is also capable of preventing interaction between matter and antimatter. These properties prevent the contents of anything comprised of this material from being examined by use of X-ray scanning, and severely impede physical examination. The material comprising SCP-2493-2 is flexible in a manner comparable to rubber, but has a texture consistent with polished metal. An impermeable barrier replaces the substance around SCP-2493-1’s facial region, serving as a two-way visor. The interior of the suit is also capable of emitting light from an undetermined source, and will do so upon instruction by SCP-2493-1.
On the back of SCP-2493-2 is a multifunctional backpack that serves as a SCBA2, a method of exchanging resources obtained by SCP-2493-1 for canned supplies, and an airtight input for canned supplies. SCP-2493-1 has never been observed to physically ingest these supplies; the entity states that this is attributable to nanites present within the interior of the suit, which constantly reassemble small sections of food within his mouth whenever available. It is theorized that the device is connected to SCP-2493-1's dimension of origin via a stable space-time anomaly in the device, as this is the only reasonable explanation of how samples of inedible materials can be converted into edible substances comprised of antimatter.
SCP-2493 was recovered on 29/05/1998 when a large burst of high-energy gamma radiation was detected as the source of a large seismic earthquake within ████████ coal mine, New Zealand. Investigation into the source led to the discovery of SCP-2493-1, who was immediately detained by Foundation agents. The antimatter nature of the entity was confirmed by readings of the gamma radiation detected during its manifestation, and by exposing a minute amount of antiair present within a depleted foodstuff to oxygen under controlled conditions.

3. SCP-2493-1 speaks from the perspective that he is comprised of matter, and by extension that everything else is comprised of antimatter.
Item #:XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is a toy piano that resembles a miniature version of a self-playing "player piano". It has thirty-seven (37) functional keys, and the three pedals are also functional. On the back of the object is a small embossed plaque which reads "Dr Wondertainment's Magical Music Mood Maker". SCP-XXXX functions exactly the same as a normal full-size player piano would, where a pneumatic apparatus is controlled by a roll of perforated paper to press the keys. In the case of SCP-XXXX, the pneumatic apparatus is supplied air via a small bellows which links into the back of the piano with a hose. SCP-XXXX can play any of ten (10) paper roll songs included in the box. These rolls are designated SCP-XXXX-1 through -10. The songs included are as follows:
- SCP-XXXX-1: Opening, Phillip Glass
- SCP-XXXX-2: Moonlight Sonata, Ludwig van Beethoven
- SCP-XXXX-3: An arrangement of the traditional song Kumbaya, arranger unknown
- SCP-XXXX-4: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star melody, J.S. Bach
- SCP-XXXX-5: Claire de lune, Claude Debussey
- SCP-XXXX-6: A medley of popular children's songs, including Old MacDonald, London Bridge, Ring Around the Rosie, and Mary Had a Little Lamb
- SCP-XXXX-7: Für Elise, Ludwig van Beethoven
- SCP-XXXX-8: Linus and Lucy, Vince Guaraldi
- SCP-XXXX-9: Brahm's Lullaby, Johannes Brahms
- SCP-XXXX-10: A collection of songs generally considered to be related to death and funerals, including Amazing Grace, Danny Boy, Taps, and Ave Maria
